Senate Democrats are among the ones who told the IRS to investigat​e RW groups.........................from Papa Ray

I and many others already knew and disapproved of these Senators and others actions. I pointed it out (needlessly) to my Senator and Reps. many times. They said they knew but there was nothing that they could actually do except to warn the IRS not to do it.

Nothing will most likely come of any of this anyway, but maybe it will delay any more (other) idioticy from our elected idiots for awhile.

Paper 'flushing' continues..........................from Rico

It looks like the paper 'raid' otherwise called April continues into May.

Never mind that there is NO depth to the physical precious metals supply any longer, there is plenty of unbacked paper!

- While physical demand is one a 1:1 basis, the paper supply is easily 100:1.

Let's skip the cartoon shows called MSNBC, CNBC and their ilk and consider:

- London continues to deliver physical bullion at a blistering pace.

- Shanghai appears to be 'out' of bullion.

- GLD has dropped 300 tons YTD.

- COMEX vaults are down 100 tons YTD.

- JPM keeps juggling their 'eligible' and 'registered' inventory to keep from running out.

- China imported 220 tons in March alone.

- Indian demand is UP, but only 10% of bullion orders are being filled.

To badly paraphrase a wiser head than mine: "If you want to hold paper bullion, why NOT cut out the middleman, save time and money, and just flush your fiat down the toilet?"

By John Steele Gordon
 
Last week was one of the worst for Obama in his presidency. This week looks no better. Indeed, it may be a long, hot summer for the White House. As Jonathan has pointed out, the IRS scandal is growing bigger, seemingly by the minute. The Benghazi scandal is continuing to percolate.

Finally, knowing your President!...from TPC



The liberal media is trying to position the Obama scandals as political opportunity for the Republicans. 

Instead why not call it an opportunity for many Americans to finally learn something about who their President really is!

Know thy enemy: "The 39 Principles of Holy War"...from TPC



Published on the internet in 2003, this list of the 39 principles of Holy War is something that the Obama administration should familiarize itself with so that perhaps they might recognize who the real enemy of the United States actually is. 

Unless of course they have known all along and for them every action is simply about political expediency regardless of its impact on US national security.

Something is all "wet".........................from Rico

While the daily 'new' normal is a daily historic 'high' for the S&P500, something is all "wet" here.

Sure, global equity markets are all 'juiced' on Cental Bank provided crack...er, QE 'liquidity' but this is completley disconnected from economic activity which is anything BUT booming.

- Especially for the 52% of American families that do NOT have a cent in the markets (a historic low).

Consider the shipping index reflecting world trade, the Baltic Dry Index, as an indicator of what is REALLY happening in the global economy as opposed to what the cartoon channels of FTV are telling you.

- Today the Baltic Dry Index is ~900.....5 years ago it was 11,000.

The Liberal Atlantic is Very Late to The Party......................from Dan Friedman

[According to the Atlantic, the Muslim world has been “slowly Islamizing” since the Arab Spring. Imagine that! Could’ve knocked me over with a feather. I hope the Atlantic’s readers don’t go into a swoon when they hear the news. But give the editors credit for making every effort to soften the blow. The name “Obama” is conspicuous by its absence. After all, keep ‘em dumb is still the corrupt media’s motto. df]

Who is the Ben Gazzi guy?............................from Bob C

Seems the media is being forced to stick their noses in here and many of them don’t like what they are finding. That doesn’t mean that they will report the truth by the way as is evident in what this flaming windbag is reporting, or what this spin meister is spinning!
 
AH but there are those that are actually digging in and assembling the facts and then there are those that are asking the hard questions. Did any of you know that 2 men, both retired SEALS held off over 200 terrorist attackers and killed 60? AND THEY didn’t have sufficient armament when they ran into harms way. They used the weapons that the Libyan guards dropped when they abandoned their guard posts!
 
This is an interesting perspective. Oh and then there is that nasty IRS thing – more on that later. Suffice it to say these people were targets….

Esau Hates Jacob.........................from Dan Friedman

[I do not believe even ten thousand stories like this one (of which there are more) could ever change the heart or mind of the average Jew-hater. Anti-Semitism is bred in the bone and does not respond to either example or reason in those so afflicted. The only “cure” is a state - of, by and for the Jews - with the power and the will to take the profit out of the evil enterprise. The Land of Israel is moving in that direction now, but she’ll only arrive at her destination if the Jewish people decide to keep it. df]

ReasonTV's Tracy Oppenheimer caught up with Reichental at the 2013 Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, CA to discuss the present day realities and future possibilities of 3D printing.
