My apologies, I have been called an idiot many times, and think it fair, I be able to defend myself, so reposting here, to keep all my thoughts in one place.

From: "Derrick Michael Reid" Subject: "Svoya rubashka blije k telu"??
To: "President George W. Bush" <president@whitehouse.gov> President Bush,
Polish Pres comes out and slams Pres Putin for attempting to start an arms race.
Putting missile technology close to Russia gave Putin a golden opportunity to pander domestically for political gain, of course. Is there a trump card? Can the systems be deployed in east poland to cover eastern europe, and maybe Moscow itself. It seems the US position could be that it is Iran escallating an arms race, and the US is meeting the potenital threat of Iranian long range missile attack, intended or not, which puts Moscow under more risk than Washington DC. Time for a bold move to wake up the crippled foul, with an offer to extend missile intercept protection for missles launched into Western Russian air space? Look out, though, such an offer made be rejected out of hand, Svoya rubashka blije k telu, (your own shirt fits best) is dear, but, look at the potential political gain in such a refusal. Just a thought boss. Derrick
=====================================
Now compare that to post in Midas 10/25/07.
=====================================
Separately, earlier NATO announced it has endorsed new US plans to cooperate with Russia on a missile defense system. The US is planning to establish anti-missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic in an effort to construct aforward line of defense against possible attacks by rogue states like Iran.
=============================
President Bush,
You did well in your CA address, we really do appreciate you coming by.
And thanks for giving Feinstein a reward for the 5th circuit judge support, with the photo shoot. Well Done Boss.
Derrick
=====================================
HERO BUSH!! My Beloved President!!!!
congrats on getting the lower casualities in Iraq, well done commander.
Yeah, I dont care for Senator Feinstein's politics, but, she got your 5th circuit judge on board. I brief polite thank you, in public, when in California Tomorrow, is in order. Do the right thing. You are the president of all of us. Make me proud, once again.
Thank you for serving Derrick, Laguna Beach CA

Walking Liberty is Real Money Memo.
Unless you first recognize a problem, a militant nuke Iran, you can not seek a resolution. World focus upon the Iranian nukes was a first good step toward resolution, sanctions is another, war if necessary will be another, but the trick is to keep the pressure on so that something will crack. In terms of significance, Iran is the last significant nut to crack in global militancy, state sponsored terrorism, or naked aggression, as the world's globalization confluence is now being perfected.
=======================
compare with midas today 10/25/07
=======================
09:14 US announces new sanctions against Iran
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson confirmed the new sanctions in a press conference that just ended. The sanctions freeze any US assets of the Iranian military and anyone who does business with it. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is designated as a proliferator of weapons of mass destruction and its Quds force as a terrorism supporter
================================================
I have a very good handle on reality and routinely provide original suggestions to Bush and Putin, and many many times, they get adpoted, almost like clock work. From calling bullion prices, political moves, and geopolitical moves, I seem to get it right, time and time again. Do you recall my letter to Ron Paul? Russki Bear Palladium Play? Support Putin's Black Flag in Chechnia, Silver Gaps Up?, and I could list many more examples. Lucky or an Idiot? You make the call, and if you feel its fair, please kindly advise Derek V. I am not an idiot.

comes to international geopolitics and moves, I like Charles Krauthammer, articulate, concise, focused.
=========================
Here is another, 3 days ago 10/23/07, in thread GRANDICH:
In the end, Bush will huff and buff, and Putin will scream war-monger, and either a gulf of token redue and the US takes out Iranian missle and nuke facilities or complete IAEA compliance will be had when Putin finally persuades the Iranian to cave in putting Putin on the world stage as the peace maker, painting Bush as the bad dog, with Iranian compliance to the UN resolutions, and hence, the march of the global confluence. Putin is not stupid, and is playing the US like a fiddle, successfully, for domestic Russian consumption while feeding red-meat and coolaide to the global pacifists.
==========Right=on=que=================
Bush new round of sanctions 10/25 and Putin this day 10/26 says the US is a "maniac with razor blades", (which is pretty close to war monger, and so red-meat & coolaide Le Menu de jur?)

BUY GOLD NOW! The Russian Rubble is becoming known for its remarkable stability. Who would have thought it five years ago. With western bank deficit spending and with huge USA trade deficits, Gold is moving to $2750/oz in six years, so, you should buy long term production contracts from Russian Gold miners at current prices, and do it now!!!
In today's liquid markets, prices can change faster than ever. On fundamentals, Au move 100% in five years, and will another 100% in three years, and will another in 100% in two years, hiting $2750 in six years. While inflation will eventually pick up, the twin deficits will have longer term affect ON PROJECTIONs, projecting a Gold bull run for at least 6 years when PAYGO becomes attractive again. In the near term, in the Summer 06, when tolerable interest rate hikes temper monetary growth, gold will explode to the upside on liquidity, possibly to $750 as early as July 06. But that will be only the start for joe. Initial growth in Au ETFs was impressive, but wait until the average joe jumps into the ETF, sucking up reserves placing hard demand on new gold, while old gold is shifted between central banks generally moving west to east. With the Au ETFs on line, gold will out do those 1980 impressive jumps in three years, but its all market timing to catch the $2750 inevitable level. Markets currently underestimate the explosive impact on supply-demand through ETFs when joe seriously jumps into the Au ETFs. So, as long as the Au ETF have a trifle amount, 400 tones for example out of 140,000 tones world wide, the Bull Run will remain in tact, with twin deficits pushing gold higher, but at some point, equities will become disfavored as joe runs into Gold through the ETF, and then watch out, $2750/oz.
Monetary uncertainty in west can have spill over affect in Russia and other far east countries like China and Japan, having little gold reserves. You should beat China and Japan to the punch, and buy heavy futures on today's prices, before China and Japan does, rather than later at much higher prices.
This is one man's opinion, I could be right.
Sincerely

A few months after this, Russia annouced plans to increase their gold reservers, coincidence? You make the call?

President Bush, my beloved president.
I am often taken back by the chants of "Death to America" coming out of Iran. This belligerence towards the US has it origins in a mistaken foreign policy by the Nixon Administration and that came to head during the Carter Administration, through our unequivocal support of strong-man rule, such as the Shaw of Iran, leading to 30 years hostilities with no end in sight. Ex president Carter has no moral footing to condemn the current Bush administration's actions, because at least you president Bush, have herald in the democracy century, and are activity setting up democracies in the middle east, the only true way to win the war on terror in the long run. We should learn from our mistakes. That mistaken foreign policy stems from US desires to conduct it trade in peace, and hence the US supported strong-man rule that would sit on the crazies. However, the correct policy, in my view, is to support strong man rule, only if they, in turn would institute democratic reforms, so that all would have rights to express grievances to the government so that all could participate in the affairs of state, so that they would not resort to the only means available, to wit, terror, to make a political point.
Currently we have a strong ally in Pakistan, and the turning of this Muslim country to activity hunt down Al Queda remnants in the western remote hills of Pakistan with US military materials support was a fantastic act of diplomacy by your administration that has directly lead to the capture Al Queda leaders with reduced nuclear threats towards India and with a reduction of hostilities in Kashmir. I understand that the earthquake in Pakistan presently preoccupies much of our effort there, rightfully so. I was so proud to see those displaced Pakistanis receiving food aid boxes emblazoned with "USA". This sends a strong message to those affected that the US stands tall in its compassion for others, and helps improve our image there.
But, at some point in time, we must learn from our mistakes, and encourage President Musharraf to institute local democratic reforms, initially to municipal and regional elections, eventually leading to a duly elected parliament, and ultimately the presidency. Perhaps next year, after the emergency earthquake relief has been stabilized, you could publicly request Pakistan to move in democratic directions. The Pakistanis do have a recent history of democracy and the reinstitution of democractic reforms there seems to be an easy goal to achieve. A four prong diplomatic approach toward Pakistan, that is, earthquake relief, military materials support, democratic reforms, and nuclear disarmament, would go along way in cementing favorable views of the USA in that trouble region, whilst supporting an ultimate victory on the war on terror. Calling for democracy century, whilst not pushing democratic reforms in Pakistan, is not only hypocritical, but does not further the ultimate victory on the war on terror. Calling for democratic reforms in Pakistan in 06, with some movement or promises then would be timely for the November 06 elections, and that could be herald at the state of union in 2007, as another indication of our your bold and noble leadership.

In, I think it was 2006, after the airplane and Beslan terrorist attacks, putin move more troops into Chechnia, there was a news report about that. I then sent out a memo (cant find it), to Bush, CC Putin, saying SUPPORT Russia, opps, here it is:

Subject: Rebellion in Southern Russia. Support PUTIN!!!
Your Excellency, President Putin.
I am very concerned about the violence in southern Russia. The people there should have the right to demonstrate and speak their point of view. They do not have the right to commit terror, murder and violence in furtherance of rebellion and political ambitions. I admire your steady hand at the helm of Russia. The world needs Russia to emerge as a strong unified country with a robust economy for increased trade and social intercourse and the world peace inherent in that, but this rebellion is damaging to Russia and world peace and trade. It must be stopped. I would support invocation of the death penalty for terrorism and would support a justified heavy hand to stop the killing and the rebellion. The world needs you to act, and act decisively. It is your call, MOYA DROOK, of course. But we Americans will stand with you and your decision. GOD BLESS RUSSIA in this hour.
Sincerely,

WITH IN SIX HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, news flash accross Fox News, Putin goes into chechnia with the black flag. This was an indication to the Russians, that common Americans would support attacks upon terrorists, even if in Russia, the political cover. I then stated "I am absolutely sure, Mr. Putin waits each day to see if I have sent more encouraging words of advice. If only I were King of the world!!!! LOL!!!" Coincidence? you make the call.

Now, for today's lesson on civic duties and the global confluence.
===============================
I do believe believe into the global confluence, and cultural evolution into gobal civility. I want us all to come together in a peaceful world, but what can I do, as a lone wolf? So, I do/have written Bush and Putin, to bring that about. Do they sit on the edge of the chair waiting for derelict's next memo, well, you never really know, now do you?
But there is no deception in me, I call it like I see it. From Bush's perspective, if fits his game plan, from Putin's perspective, he gets an honest read from a neocon righty, and that he can exploit.
Here are some examples.
==========================
President Bush, 12/11/05
I urge you support Russia's membership into the WTO. I realize that Russia needs to make additional efforts to crackdown on intellectual property piracy, and that Russia maintains certain economic data as state secrets, but in the long term view, Russia will move towards financial transparency and respect of international property rights. Rome was not built in a day. As Russian political leaders become more confident in their own democracy, Russia's reactionary control attempts over free speech will be reduced. It is only a matter of time before Russia fully understand the benefits of free, fair, open, and transparent politics and economics. Sure, Russia's political and economic systems need improvement, but lets not "throw the baby out with the bath water", as President Putin has recently said about the non-government organizations (NGOs). Russia is simply to important to keep out of the WTO, and its inclusion will further join east and west in common trade, global political cooperation, and world peace. On other concerns, I also understand Russia is proposing laws regarding registration of NGOs, but really, do you think that the Russia government could possible keep secret international analysis of Russia's progress and the teachings of the long term benefits of a free and open society? The Russians are concerned about undue foreign influence, similar to Nixon's outside agitators, that was largely deemed a ghost of a concern. History repeats itself. The Russians will learn over time that censure of international and domestic political thought is unnecessary and largely counter-productive. Just give Russia some more time to fully understand the benefits of political decent, a necessary part of any democracy. As Russia becomes more confident with their own democracy, and confidence in the Russian people to be capable of deciding issues by the vote, Russia will see little need to restrict political thought, from either international sources or domestic political opposition leaders. Sure, Russia has a political and cultural history of secrecy and centralized control, but in this day of the internet, democracy's world wide march, and instantaneous global news, these reactionary control attempts will eventually be deemed by the Russians themselves to be counter-productive in the long run. As Russia is taking its baby steps into democracy and free economics, in a relatively short amount of time, it is natural they would have fits and starts, mostly from a lack of confidence in themselves, and their new world of democracy. But full integration of Russia into the world economy with transparent and fair participation is inevitable, and Russia will move towards that inevitable full, free, fair and transparent participation over time. Russia's membership in the WTO will help move Russia towards free, fair, and transparent economic and political orientations, and this is a good thing for the world community, even though the Russian to not yet meet our standards. Please FULLY SUPPORT President Putin at the up coming G8 meeting in St.Petersburg Russia, and fully support and urge Russia's immediate membership into the WTO.
Sincerely, and Most Respectfully,

While we Americans value trade with Japan, it does not mean we must accept Japan's WWII as though it never happened, something Japan wants the world to do. Lands captured during war from an AGRESSOR nation, is a legitimate war prize. I understand Japan still wants Russia to give up islands in the north-west pacific. DONT GIVE THEM UP, just because Japan wants them back. Work out fishing treaties and MAKE THEM PAY for it. I understand the Russian central bank wants to increase its gold reserves 500 tons. That seems to be an acceptable price. MAKE THE DEAL!!!, BUT DONT JUST GIVE THEM UP. We can not reward agressor nations for their unconscionable wars!!

Your Excellency, President Putin,
As I am sure you are aware, President Bush will be traveling to Mongolia, and should receive a warm welcome. It seems to me that with President Bush in your back yard, that you would also want to gain influence else where. It seems that the world should not be polarized east and west, nor dominated by any one power, but rather should have influence spread out equally amongst the significant partners, including Russia, China, USA, EU, India, Japan, Australia and others, that should all play on the same team, to wit, to increase trade for increased standards of living world wide while joining hands to promote freedom and in the battle against terrorist, for securing the peace. As such, it is important that Russia maintain a high profile in world political affairs, so that no one country in the future dictates policy to the rest of the world. The value of democracy is that all must listen to all points of view. Presently, the USA has a dominate role, but that will only last for another 20 years or less, as the Russian and Chinese capitalism and others gives us Americans a real horse race. In this regard it is also important for China to evolve politically as they are doing economically. The world is slowly moving away from polarization towards united debate and unified action, and this is a very good thing.
I understand that Russia has influence in Syria and Iran that are presently polarized effectively against the world wide march of freedom and increased globalized trade. They are losing economic and political connectivity with the rest of the world with each day because of their hard-line intolerance and terror sponsorship. I would suggest you pressure, with all means available, Iran and Syria to get them to join the world team, consent to UN nuclear oversight, and stop the hostile rhetoric and sponsorship of terror. In this way, you help build a world community of civilized partners in the information age, by brining Syria and Iran into the fold of connected countries having broadband interactions and communications. I would also suggest you find a battalion of able young men, and send them to Iraq, for about one year only, as a token gesture of Russian support for Iraqi democracy and not as combat troops, but rather as guard troops around infrastructure facilities. In traveling to Vladivostok in the far east, I am always impressed with all those fine young Russian men in their nice uniforms, a singular point of martial beauty, but think that maybe some foreign service would be attractive to some of them now confined to the far east environs. In supporting Iraq, you lessen the insurgency and promote world peace, and send a strong signal to the terrorists that the world is indeed united, and help connect Iraq with the rest of the world. In this manner, you become involved with the eventual withdrawal for armed forces from Iraq as the battle there is nearly won, and become involved with the stabilization of Iraq while expanding diplomatic ties with Iraq, and effectively support the world fight against terrorism, as the war on terrorism will never be won until democracies are stood to give all a right to express grievances to governments that will then sit on the crazy islamo-facists. The world future is looking and moving towards broadband connected interactions of all countries offering balanced influence and debate with united actions, and as such, Russia needs to maintain a high profile in all world affairs, and think these two steps of pressuring Syria and Iran, while supporting democracy in Iraq furthers that balance and connectivity enhancing world trade and peace.
Sincerely
Derrick Michael Reid

Your foreign secretary is reported to have said this day that Russia would not bow to anyone, not even the US. I trust that statement was for domestic political consumption only, and I trust that Dr. Rice was at least polite and respectful and did not ask Russia to bow down.
My question to you and your secretary is, given the unrest in the Muslim world, and in your own country, are you willing to risk the theft of nuclear materials that could end up as a dirty bomb in the middle of Moscow, then uninhabital for 10,000 years? We Americans are afraid of Iran, and militant Islam. Like Russia, we got hit also, on 9-11. Are not you at least a little concerned? Can you guarrantee that the nuclear materials will only be used for peaceful purposes? Trust but Verify?
I would not want to be in your place, addressing these difficult issues. It takes a brave and confident man to do your job. May God give you and Russia guidance to make good decisions. It seems that all concerns for peaceful use and security of nuke material can be reached through negotiations. Please ask Iran to return to the negotiating table, and negotiate suitable security arrangements. I dont want the gunslinger Bush going off again. I am sick of war. The US does not want war, nor have to impose sanctions.
Very Truly Yours,

President Bush, FYI only
Your Excellency, President Putin,
I enjoyed reading your comment: "The main achievements of modern Russia are the democratic process and civil society, and we must make sure that we do not, as they say, throw the baby out with the bath water," said Putin.
I can fully understand why any government would want firm control, so as to promote citizen activities consistent with governmental policies. However, do not under-estimate the value of the watch-dog abilities of common people, and will scrutinize every move the government makes, as constructive feedback.
Coming from the American prespective, I do not like when there is criticism against Government policy that I support, and while it may appear to be unhelpful, it is actually very helpful, to have a robust counter evaluations, so as to make corrective action. One should never be so confident that one refuses to listen to opposing views, and then, you shut off possible good advise that may right a wrong. I have found that when all political views are expressed, the people are good at deciding what is the correct course. It is, after 230 years of democracy, the view that THE PEOPLE are intelligent enough to make good decisions, though at times, in retrospect, some decision were not the best. It is the continuation of education and open debate that leads people to the best decision. What I see in Russia is an infantile fear of what the people will do or say or believe that is inconsistent with government plans. When you put it all in the people hands, during the vote, the people will have to live with its decisions, and if a mistake is made, they can make adjustments. Over the long run, the people ability to openly debate all issue and vote is the driver toward long term prosperity and civil health.
So why the limitation of political expressions? What is the Russia Bear so afraid of?? When you are confident in your position, you should invite, not discourage wide ranging debates, and in this way, the debate will discount bad views and highlight good views. I understand Russia has problems. Dont we all!!! But, the better track is to allow free expression and let the people decide in elections. The Russian people are intelligent and can decide issues. When the people decide, you avoid appearing as a dictator and avoid the contempt of those not having an outlet to express their view. I would suggest you encourage all political debate, without fear, and let the people decide in votes, and I think you will find that the Russian people are up to the job of voting so as to lead Russia toward a better future, which should be the objective.
Sincerely
Derrick Michael Reid
Laguna Beach CA USA
==============================================
Now, lets go back, the original thesis, the global confluence, 1/08/05.
Russia's future lies, I think, in an integration into NATO as well as the EU, more so than with the less economically viable southern ex-soviet states, such as Kazakhstan, as Russia is historically an eastern European power, and Russia will move more and more in trade with the west, and Russians' standard of living will improve until Russia is a super economic power in 25 years. In the out-years, Russia-China-US will combine as the tri-party de facto dominant rulers in the world, as the EU remains politically weak minded in their socialism and progressive secularism.
===============================
Now Russia is a nonvoting member of NATO, and I believe, a member in the WTO. But look at the real long term consequences of The US missile intercept batteries in Eastern Polan.
What you are seeing here, in the infant steps, to reintegrate Russia back into EU politics and influences. With its missle technology and protection, the US is effectively bridging Russia & EU. Why, to more fully interconnect Russia, though the facial rationale is to mutually protect. This will occur in the Pacific, where Russia/China/USA,Japan,Australia join in a NPTO "north pacific treaty organization", like NATO. Like it or not, the confluence marches on.
========================================
Again, my apologies for any reposts, but do you all still think I am an idiot? No response is requested, but I can hear a pin drop.

From the common Russian's perspective, the USA are the bad guys, naturally so, given sour grapes cold war loss and rubble collapse, but I reminded some of my Russian friends. This was written in 05/06 time frame.
1) it is the culture of Islam to spread Islam by the sword, they have been doing that for 1300 years, and it is taught in the koran to do it this way,
2) it is taught to koran to lay low in peace in face of superior enemy, but to rise up when enemy is weak, and anyone not islamic IS THE ENEMY to them,
3) any deals with non-islamic people can be broken at later time when it is best to spread Islam with allah's blessings.
The reason that Islam is making terror is because they believe that the infidels are weak (notice how for 20 years no one tried to stop them) France, Germany Russia for example
When Bush stood up to them, (most the world did not join fight on terror, so terrorists think they can continue and people will run away in fear. note spanish pulling troops out of Iraq. This was western europe's mistake when Hilter nazies were growing in power.
They hate democracy, like in europe USA russia because it allows personal freedom, they want to control the WHOLE WORLD, their object under strick obeyance to Allah and the koran, without tolerance of civil rights, no personal freedom, no women rights. You join Islam or you are killed. there is no tolerance in Islam. It is their culture. Don't ask why a lion bites a lamb, it is the only way the lion knows how to feed.
We can not win war on terror quickly unless world world joins together to fight it, and the way to fight is to install democracy governments in all islamic countries that will teach tolerance and freedom and democracy government will sit on the islamic facists so that they don't spread terror and hate. It is a war of IDEAS freedom, democracy, tolerance of neighbor, versus strick adhereance to islam controlled by the mullahs. Bush will go after Iran, it is just a matter of time, but the question is, will any other countries help. US will go it alone if necessary, we Americans will not surrender our freedom to anyone nor will we allow islam to control the world. This may sound familiar to you as the way the US responded to the spread of communism under totalitarian regimes (Soviets, China, N.Korea, N.Veitnam) Communism is dying and so will Facist Islam. The world can help the US out of course, the US will not surrender to these killers.
=============================
hopefully militant islam itself will get tired of the brutality and become tolerant islam. Without exception, every arab or iranian I have personally met, are the most polite, friendly, people you would ever want to meet, and indicates to me that moderation and international friendship, will be had, with our muslim neighbors, eventually, as the global confluence marches on.
====================================
The Thread "China transforming north Korea" and this thread, is now getting some international attention.
Beside stupid, idiot, I am now an international fascist. Considering the source, its probably an honnorary accolaide, an understanding of which comes from fully comprehending all of the following. Gerbles would be proud.
----------------DONT TAZE ME BRO!!!!!--------------
But, anyone who reads the postings in that related thread and this one, in their entirety, will undertand, if they have any common sense, that it is not that I am stupid, idiot or a fascist, but rather, that I am my own man, coming independently to different conclusions, couched in terms of inevitable human culutral evolution, with objective comments, explaining why, step by step.
"And those who can not see the hand of god in it, are blind sir blind", TJ Jackson, 1862.
So, it is not the analysis per se, but the conclusions that make me a fascist. Really, this is so sad. I would think that those of differing opinion could attack the bases of the conclusions, rather than nakedly and cowardly, attacking only the conclusions. Go Figure.
hhhmmm, it seems to me, and please correct me if I am wrong, that it is those who condemn my conclusions, are that which they incorrectly claim I am. In a fascist state, the first thing you do, is shut up the oppositions, something now institutionized in our higher educational institutions. Point made, undeniably so. Hey, dont university students have to be a minimum age?
But why the vitreousness? Go Figure, because I cant. Take that back, yes I can, children do learn well when in a street gang, especially when led by a vicious thug, or a contracting mob boss, or a brown-shirt captain (passing out honnorary awards), to those having learned their talents well. "Thank Gore, how dare he", or, if not him personnally, thank our dear professors at those higher educational institutions, for teaching the America way and basic civics and US history and minimum levels of civility.
================================
But, being so understanding of little children, acting up in school, I am reminded of the lessons they take dear to heart, when offering up the apple to their favorite teachers.
Anyone recall, Hanity & Colmes FNC, in 04, that Hannity showed a one minute video going through a variety of dem clips, including, Gore screaming how the president LIED and BETRAYED us, "HOW DARE HE", and even IA Tom Harkin got into and called Chenney a COWARD, other examples as well included Dean. These comments were from top well-known democratic "leaders" of the democratic party. From this "democracy teaching", I then thought of the viciousness coming from Hollywood, and recall how Rosie and Whoppie went off at the president, Baldwin referring Chenny as MAD as revealed on the OReilly Factor FNC. No foul-word un-said, and these are Public figures, well known, and respected in some parts for talent and leadership. From these "democracy teaching" teachings I recall the language used by media and move.org including Brown-shirts and Nazi. I learned allot campaigning for Bush in 04, dodging bottles, and things have not changed one bit. If we are not careful, our glorious democracy may soon, if not already, be hijacked by extremists defeating our very core sense of democracy and our right to free-speech, and I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the democratic party leadership. This is a sad state of affairs for our glorious Union. I think the presidential candidates should both make policy speeches and warn us against the growing threat and ask all Americans to conduct ourselves with civility during the election year. And these dems want to be in charge of the country? Win bike race: Get spat on; Adorn Bush Button: Called a Nazi; W bumper sticker: Get Vandalized; No House Bush Sign; Afraid of Arson; Thank Gore, "How dare he".
"a 21-year old journalism student was selected by Senator Kerry to ask a question," but instead of asking a polite question, giving due respect to the statemen, he went off asking a series of rethorical questions as a fanatical screeching rant while holding up the GOSPLE. It seem Mr. Andrew Meyer, as been well schooled, and offered up the apple, self-victimizating with "dont taze me bro". How Dare He? All those in Graduate School, taking photoshop doctoring class 501a, at moveon.org, raise your hands?
====================================
Yesterday, I had to get out my camera and take photographs of my 3yo, in absolute fits, throwing himself on the ground, because he did not get to go with mommy out buying a punkin. For thirty minutes, I watched him time and time again, just throw himself on the ground, because he did not get his way, while I sympathetically tried to explain, now now, dont worry, daddy is here, and you are staying home so that I can help you learn picture cards. "What is this?"... "a lion", and "what does the lion say?", "roooooaaaar", very good. He dosent seem all that dumb, just a whinny brat, that has at least learned to roar like a lion, and of course, whinning and roaring so loudly, he need a cool drink, like coolaide, to sooth his throat from all that crying and roaring. He smacked his lips with pleasure, ready for the next picture. Hes good that way, roaring on que, sucking up the coolaide, while following instructions. Sure, he's not a perfect child, not up to the independent thinking stage, as he still throws temper tantrums, but at least he has not reached the name calling stage.
And now this, children everywhere, even around the world, are having temper tamtrums and throwing themselves on the ground. I guess I will have to get my set of picture cards and take them on the road. Not to worry, I am learning how to teach and deal with children very well.
====================================
And now we all learn first hand what is "Le Menu de jur". Red-meat is mantra spewed, hiped and directed toward a like thinking audience of motivated LIONS, to get them "roaring", and the "cooliade" is the blind ideology of those exclusively oriented and in that directed audience which excludes all other points of views, blocking out other's perspectives, so much so, that the ideologs are willing to follow their ideology to their deaths. (Jonestown Gyuana mass suicide upon request)
Here, Putin spews the war-monger feast, and the lions roar, and the ideologs just suck it up, RIGHT ON QUE.
Here, derelict puts up an independently thinking analysis reaching a rational conclusion trying to educate, and the cubs throw a temper tantrum and name call in the style of the brown-shirts, RIGHT ON QUE. Thank Gore, how dare he.
Predictable, cubs are too easy to figure out. However, trying to explain to them the facts of life, well, that seems more difficult. I guess my 3yo needs to mature just a little bit more, before I can even attempt that one, when of course is only after he first passes the name calling stage, and goes on to his advanced studies, where he learns to not only recite but also dodge sticks and stones.
============================================
Ann Coulter would be proud.
==================================
Sec. of State Rice was assulted this day.
President Clinton was heckled this day.
Nice. Thank Gore, how dare he?

Spanking Iran. (This is the subject of today's talking points memo)
And so, we see evolution occurring before are very eyes, the chimp morphs into a predator, and huffs and buffs, trying to blow the Persian house down of those squilling pigs now being fattened up for the slaughter and lead by the presian king xerxes controlled by his theocratic task-masters. Well not so fast, these things take time, it’s a democracy here and so-called democracy there, you know. So, chimpie is out in Jan 2009, the presumed end of time days, and the clock is ticking. Cant really say he could trust the wicked witch of the east to finish the job, if she got elected, so it looks like chimpie would not dare leave defiant Iranian pewks with nukes for her to deal with, as she could not handle the truth, nor command, a few good men. Razputin screams War-Monger (Maniac with Razor Blades, that's "parusski" for war monger, in case anyone needs a translation). But notice, its all bark and no bite. Where exactly was that joint missile system going to be deployed anyway? Oh, north of Iran to intercept the most likely missile launches. I forget. How many airliners have gone down in Western Russian air space? And where are those poor kids in Beslan? Must have gotten lost on the way to school. What? Killed by terrorists, and under razputin's watch? Yeap, all bark, and no bite.
What else? Oh yeah, China is over there, expanding its economy, flying space missions, laying plans for the mother of all celebrations as that's when the gold, silver and bronze metals get passed out on the world stage, their new found play ground. You can bet the Chinese stock market will not tank before August 08, they can play PPT (plunge protection team) just as well as anyone, with a fiat driven economy. You can bet the Chinese would just throw a fit, if the gun slinging chimp blockaded Iran for the Gulf of Tonken redo, during their world stage parade. China needs a little education, though, on the concept of being counter-productive with advance missile sales to Iran. China can complain all it wants, but unless they are prepared to transship tactical nukes, as well, their missile sales only raises the Iranian firework show to compete in grandeur with the Chinese world stage one, and hence, the sale of Iranian missiles just may emboldened the Iranians to have that Iranian firework show, stealing the show, when push comes to shove, an hence, the object lesson to our dear Chinese friends. But unlike their Russkie pals, the Chinese are culturally a bit more civilized, and do not throw themselves on the ground screaming War-Monger, yet, must be concern for the weather on parade day. You think Taiwan will be nervous, during the blockade? Not one little bit, China will not push the missile launch against their arrant little off-shore kin folk, certainly not until after the grand world-stage parade, so screeching little democratic Taiwan and the US pacific fleet get the weekend pass to see the show, if they care to, especially, now that North Korea is being sedated. Kinda nice, how that all works out, push China to get North Korea to dismantle nukes in 07, reducing the need for a vigilant US pacific fleet, freed up in 08, just in time for the Gulf of Tonken redo, yeap, keep your eye on US pacific carrier battle groups, just be before the Gulf of Tonken redo.
Well Well, after a 20 year hiatus, Saudi Prince, Abdullah Aziz finally made the British tourist trip to visit the white cliffs of Dover, now motivated by having a like color skin in the shadows of mounting Iranian missile batteries, while timing the trip, curiously, to just after Chimpie announces a new round of sanctions. I bet the Queen is getting a camel's ear's full, no doubt indirectly laying pressure on world's most smartest gold bullion trader this world has ever seen, now having moved to 10 Downing, where he can try his hand at being the world most smartest terror warrior. God save the queen, on that one. I hope Blair is around to hold his hand. The Queen is going to set the bullion-dealer straight, as you must know who are your real friends.
So, it looks likes the US neocons, persuaded Brits, screaming Russkies and partying Chinese hands are all played out, but to do the deed, being embolden by a little French wine, champaign may just do the trick, pop pop pop. Sure glad OReilly called off the Boycott, its great having the French back on the team, kinda missed them actually, America's first love. Who is that Guy??? Where the heck did OReilly find him, a god sent, to the neocon groupies, wetting their parched lips after so long a dry spell on the wine wagon. Well, I tell you, its about time, too long, but at last, and he can put out French carrier battle groups, and now come za-cozying with me anytime, pop, pop, pop, goes the champagne bottle, with a sparkling spanking feast as a side dish best served ice cold. This is the kind of Le Menu de jur that just get my lips smacking. Razputin can have his red-meat and coolaide, I will take slow-go escargot and partying Champaign, any day. So, it seems, the Queen and Za-Cozy are on board, with the Russki bear in hibernation in their wet-bag, hoping like hell their Iranian bait don’t get chewed up, and China is busy planning their wet-dream parade, hoping like hell the cut-and-run cowards can stall the surge enought until the wicked witch of the east gets elected and in there and quick. It also seems does it not, that the EU is stuck between an Elis-island-rock and the Kremlin red square stones, (having no big sticks just now). So what does the EU collectively do, with the Prince pitching fear to the Queen while Za-cozying up to bat-tle groupie status? What will the EU do? hhhmmm Pee their pants.
The gunslinging chimp, out-foxed them, pretty much, pacifists are so easy that way, they only know one song, and once you pick-up the tune, you realize they are just whistling Dixie, but without the nerve to fire the first shot, just trying so hard, to look-a-way look-a-way. Chimpie ups the sanctions, and the EU has a choice, increase sanctions as well, or not. If they do not raise sanctions, and the US goes it along, well, the EU may be charged with starting the war, as failing to push sanctions that might have worked. If they do raise sanctions, Iran get the hard-ball squeeze, and put Russian and Chinese inaction in a bad light, and hence, the division between the EU and Asia. Divide and conquer, or so the saying goes. The EU will cave in to chimpie, now holding four As in this poker game, fiat dollars to buy anything arms and maintain and pump any market, carrier battle groups, the diplomacy play, and the strategic positioning. Chimpie was a master commander, getting the pakkies on board, then taking down Afghanistan, and then Iraq, with the Saudis and the Persian gulf effectively strategically isolating Iran. Bravo to the long range plan, going after, the real target, the heart of militant Islam, and all those little school girls screaming death to America. Well hey hey, its Halloween, and the great satin is about to scare them into a little object lesson.
Yeap, diplomatically and strategically, chimpie has been excellent, but he has problem with the tactical thing, ala Iraq and those nasty "freedom fighters", fighting to get their murdering terrorizing brothers out of the jail. There should be no invasion, as unnecessary and too costly. The trick is destroy newk and missile facilities, and do as little harm to oil production and infrastructure, or have them limited and inspected, if Iran desire a peaceful solution. Its up to them, I see no hesitation, whatsoever by chimpie. So, with Russia in a wet-bag and China in a wet-dream, and both very far afield, don’t seem like they would risk a stand off. So, all those countries in the Persian gulf area, who are going to risk annihilation, to help out xerxes in his hour of need, raise your hands. hhhmmmm waiting, hhmmm waiting, dang, not even those in Damascus will help out. hhmmm, maybe Israelis will grant transit visas for Hesbalah and Hamas thugs to visit Tehran, during these festive times? Naaa, don’t think so. Cant see Al Quida giving Taliban remenence a week vacation, not with the pakkie strong-man's army on the hunt in west pakkie-land, just now. Looks like the Persian army and king xerses are surrounded and on their own and way out gunned. Hhhhmmm. Xerxes is going after the west. hhhmm, I guess xerxes never learns.
So lets stack up the odds. Over here in the back corner, backed up into a corner, weighing in at a measly 94$/barrow, we have king Xerxes having amassed a very very impressive arsenal. Xerxes has amassed some land/sea missiles, a hoard of terrorizing minions, the 10,000 fanatical loyals who signed up to commit acts of terror upon mullah's command, well encouraged by, the tri-delts with their waving fists and tridents, the local Tehran sorority (these are the cheer leaders, not much in the way of armor tank drivers, but hey, you draft and scrafice what you can when it comes to war), and the GUARD, the backbone of the persian army, whos only known victories are against isolated embassies and 300 civilian kidnaps. Saddam just butchered the Iranian army, who seem to be led by mullahs rather than generals. No newks as yet, this should be a cake walk.
Over here in the front corner, weighing in at 32,000 pounds a pop pop pop, is the US Pacifica carrier battle fleet comprising seven carrier groups each with 300 strike aircraft, in addition to land bases with stealth bombers, targeting xerxes missile and newk facilities. On the flanks are disposed US army in Iraq and NATO in Afghanistan, to catch the running loyals as they dribble in to lay down more terror bombs. The fleet has international IAEA legitimacy, there are 5000 cases of French wine on board, just za-cozying around. This time, you bet, the French will not be sent out to some isolated post to protect the flank, but will be in there, hard hitting next to the yanks. The Brits, well, don’t know, this time around, you know, they did stand tall in taking Saddam down and fighting the terrorists, so the Brits will be in there too, but not the head liners, as the French will steal the show, this time around. A Franco-American blockade will be had in the spring 08, to enforce sanction compliance, as well as enforce non-poliferation and a host of other laws, with convenient rationales, and hence, the spring blockade, when the fire works stage is set, less we forget the tanacious difiance of xerxes, not to give in to UN resolutions, or the great satin, or the ruling security counsel, not one little bit, and as the Iranian economy tanks, and the democrats there will become increasingly fed up with "death to america" mantra, and leading Iran to war. That song is getting very old to most persians. I hope chimpie pushes the WMD button again, just so the pacifists will have something to complain about, like, not now, xerxes still needs three more years to accumulate enough enriched uranium to build bomb. Strange how foolish it is to yell HELP, after the robber already has a gun to your head, but pacificists are just that. Dont you love them, for peace in our time.
So, the EU, will piss around for a month or so, and then cave in to Chimpie's plan. By New Years, the sanctions are in full force, tightening the screws on the tri-delts. Can Razputin pull it off, and get Xerxes to cave in? (I will make that call a little later, but now that we are having fun with our toy soldiers, let hold that thought for just now.) So, chimpie play Texas hold em, with four aces, but lets not forget the jack kicker. The star of David is behinds the scenes is pushing the war button, I mean, after all, threaten with extinction does make one just a tad crazy, right? But will Moses lead them to the promise land? One missile toward Tel Aviv, and Xerxes and his theocratic task-masters are finished, and god help xerxes and his task-masters, because at their age, well, they just might want to have a stash of viagra ready for the hereafter. Nope, the jews are out of this one, xerxes would not dare. So, blockade goes in, say spring of next year, razputin does another war-monger rant, and china is trying to figure out how the smog in Beijing is going to be cleaned up in time for the party.
Either, china gives razputin the go ahead (more like a huge push), to force xerxes into caving in on the IAEA strick compliance/inspections and controlled/supervised enrichment, thereby saving existing political and economic ties with xerxes, or the gulf of tonken redo, and the US, with a little french wine, takes out xerxes most probably through some dumb hooded tri-delt gals getting into a patrol boat with a pistol and the greatest fireworks show of all time goes off.
Prediction: china gets happying dancing feets, and puts the russkie bear's feet to the fire, and Xerxes caves in. Next, with the iranian economy tanking, the democracts rise up, and over throw the mullahs instituting a free and fair democracy, with women getting the right to vote, and hence, the march of the global confluence. If Razputin pushes Xerxes to cave in, Razputin is on the stage as the world peace leader while saving economic ties with Iran, China gets a happy parade and all is nice, EU breaths a sigh of relief and dont have to fight, Za-cozy gets back slapped for protecting the EU, and chimpie is made out to be the war monger, yet again, only having to wait 30 years hence, when the world wakes up, and realized, that Bush saved islam from 1300 years on intolerance and brutality, when that GAP area is finally brought into the CORE, as the global confluence marches on.
Cant see it any other way.

GOLD TO GO TO $1500/oz maybe $2000 by August 08.
===================================
So, how does this Spring 08 blockade affect Gold? First Lets look at Russia vis-a-vis Gold. No matter whatever you think of Razputin, the guy is no dummy. Apparently, some other serious money has come into the bullion market of late, 530,000 on the COT, with the bulls in the money. The EU WAG2 cartel, is finished. See "The Sham Cartel" for an understanding of the Cartel. Russia apparently has been in there building gold reserves. China, well, they are more politically neutral, and would not run up the gold price, especially when sitting 1.3T US FRN dollars. So, it Russia, funds, and gold bugs, putting the upward pressure on the price of gold.
=============== 10/28/07:
The last three days, as indicated by kitco charts, indicate the start of a parabolic move in the price of gold, which appears to be timed with last week early interim consolidation and now to the presummed rate cut, hence, the pick up. Best guesses, are that 800/oz gold is in the bag right now before November. And other than a cartel raid, there are absolutely no indicators that I can think of that would suggest a bear correction move in bullion just now, expecially with a two month linear rise of late indicating that this run in gold can go on further without a bull trap. Dont mean it cant happen, but, the shorts have to be getting concerned with happy feet. Add that to Adrian's Dec option build up, and Richiedoc's observation of low exchange bullion stocks unable to meet existing shorts/calls, and it seems, the price of gold is going to 800/oz right now and then blow through 800 and on, in November. The stage is set, for a post 800/oz price advance continuation in November.
Midas followed, in his column, a few days after the original china call, "200 billion to spend", re "smart hedging" thread in the cafe, that china is in there buying. China would not be overly agressive though, in the gold sector, remaining politically netural and noncontroversial re fiat controls, as its cultural with them, so it may not be all china alone, but rather a confluence of private global smart private money, funds, speculators, and some government positioning, that will take bullion out of the comex, and hey hey, may be to 1080/oz POG and a 17/oz POS by New Years. Can you imagine an October monthly close above 800? Wow, Yogi and babba (Ag/Au shorts) may just get spooked out of their shorts on holloween. BOO!
=============
Yogi and baba (Au/Ag shorts) are toast, they just know it)
==============
Well Gold did during Halloween week, breach 800 gold to the upside, right on que, and all time highs are in the cards, this month of November 07. You with me?
=======================================
Now lets take a serious look at China
===================
Silver to 30$, Gold to 1200$, Here is When
Silver to 30$/oz and Gold to 1200$ by next summer 08.
In August 07, calling the 660/11.70 launch of bullion prices, "HERE AND NOW":Three days ago, I listened to a new report indicating that in Bejing (I still prefer Peking for you little ones), that even license plate cars cant drive on even days. WHAT??!! I cant remember that kind of think since the oil embargo of the late seventies. 1000 new cars a day hit the street in Bejing. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? (Hint #1)
I was watching bloomer last night, and saw celebrations old films in China, (very spectacular) state organized of course. China is BANKING on (and will insure at ALL costs) a spectacular Olypics in, (guess when) Summer of 08. (Hint #2)
Then an analysist comes on, and start discussing emerging markets, and place china in that group. The video showed a row of old women, (not young bucks screaming in the pits showing excitement), but old women, sitting as calmly as ever, watching the ticker. Even grandmas in china are riding the chinese stock market. (Hint #3)
Then the shocker, the chinese stock market is valued at a P/E of not 20, not 30, not 40, BUT 50!!!!. Do you youngsters remember the dot-com bubble? (Hint #4)
Then I put it in a PM perspective. The chinese (as well as the Japanese and the Indians), have means for purchases of gold (and that always means silver) in small quantities, so that all can participate in buying PMs. (Hint #5)
And for you all who dont understand the chinese, (not that I really do), THEY LOVE GOLD, (just like the indians), and will naturally buy bullion over holding currencies or stocks. (Hint #6)
The Chinese are big world players, WITH LOTS of cash, and cash looks for a home, and with confinement to china proper, and with a correcting chinese stock markets, there will be huge cash driving down chinese interests rates, and that cash will fine a home in PMs, because that is cultural with them (Hint #7)
Now lets tie it all together. The chinese government will not, under any circumstances, allow the chinese stock market to tank in any measured degree before their World Stage Olypics, and the grannies know it!! The chinese market will grow and grow until at least the until the end of Summer 08, so that, the markets dont rain on their world stage parade. By then,the P/E ratio could be 60, 70, maybe 80. (Do you see where I am going with this?) At some point, in late summer 08, (after gold is near 1035/oz and silver 23, (45:1) the Chinese market will go into a severe correction, and they will run for the hills, and where do you think they are going to put them yaun? The chinese will buy PMs and PM shares, and KA-BOOOOOM, gold to 1200$/oz and silver to 30$/oz (40:1).
===============================
Without the Blockade, 1200$ gold and 30$ silver seems in the bag. Right on schedule as predicted.
===============================
Now, let throw in, the Finacial melt down occuring and the prospect of an Iranian blockade. You gold bugs getting excited? Well at least we know where your true loyalties lie, right?
===============================
The FRN is collapsing toward the 2010 death nail, and is on schedule, as predicted.
==============================
The sub-prime mess is another way the US snookered the rest of world to pony up for US costs of waging war. DID YOU GET THAT???? Well try to. Here is some help.
====================================
Did anyone catch the news on the latest Billionairs.
It seems that 45% of new one on the list are hedge fund managers, one 33 years old. Sure, I can believe they work hard, but are they the ones who profited (the winners) in the subprime mess. Not an expert by any means, but mortgage brokers sold off CDO as monetized debt, sold them around the world, hedge funds bought and sold for profit, the mgr taking their cut, and place the world financial market in a liquidity crunch. So while the hedge funds mgrs make the doe, the US infrastructure is built, and the world ponies up. Allot of losses by the Finacial boys, so who got the doe? the officers of the funds, that's who. This financial meltdown is spread around the world. The US with subprime seems to be the culprite. Houses are still standing. Someone (hedge fund mgr, bankster) made out big. It looks real bad, but when things do, it may not be reality. The world is showing positive growth, and I have yet to see anyone burning script to keep warm at night. Is it really that bad, we all going down, or did only the bad guys (banksters) end up with the doe, and the over-extended good guys got what they paid for?
There has to be some kind of a win/lose record.
Winners and Losers. Obviously, ALL funds around the world are taking hits. OK, the world is ponying up for US excesses. The US degrades the FRN and the foreigner's forex take another a hit. Well ok, their fair share is paying for globalization. I dont have a problem with that.
However, this subprime mess seems like robbery, (fraud in mark to model pricing, rating agencies the first to blame, the crookster second to blame). Did the US just snooker the rest of the world out of trillions?
(The homes here is the US are still standing)
===================================
You getting the picture? Ok, so the banksters off load losses off the books to hide how masses the losses really are, (just for now though, meaning that this sub-prime mess has a long way to go, say by end 08, when the stop losses stop hitting. OK, but in the mean time, credit crunch hits big time. What does the fed do? lower rates and tank the FRN, in another round of forcing the foreigners to pony up. OK, makes senses, blackhawk Bernakie is loaded for bear, and is showing his true colors, he will tank the FRN as much as needed to maintain a growing economy while eliminating the business cycle, so that all is nice in the DOW. If Turkey can slip 8 digits, can not US slip just 1 digit and still function? Of course we can, it easy, when you have a fiat driven economy.
============================================
Next, we see INFLATION, of course under reported by the Feds, to reduce entitlements, and to maintain that Dont worry be happy parlance on wall street. But, base commoditities are on a rampage, and inflation is heating up, only to be recognized as such as excessive in late 08. You getting the timing here? Real inflation is running over 10%. Inflation and the FRN drive the price of gold in US FRNs, but look, Gold is concurrently now breaking out again in other major currencies.
==========================================
Now, we also have the geopolitical premium, where oil, inter alia, are up based upon tensions. What tensions, may I ask?, Another useless round of EU discussions on Iran. The PKK in NE Iraq, Yeah Right, give me a break. Nonetheless, with the middle east is in confliction, the prices are elevated.
==========================================
Now, lets kick in, some real geopolitical premiums, with a US led blockade of a MAJOR oil producer, and oil goes to well over 125/bbl, and US economy slides a little more, and the FEDs cut the rates, just a little more, and that pushes up the price of gold. You following this?
==============================================
Currently, Razputin and the Gold bugs have the cartel in the ringer, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. The mother of all short squeezes in now pending, before our eyes. US dollar is collapsing before our eyes in view of the triple deficits, TIC, lower FED rates. On this alone, gold is going to 1200. Throw in a US led blockade, and its $1500 gold and $50 Silver, MINIMUM. And by-the-by, the HUI does not stop at 800, in this uplegs, but runs to 1000, for all you miners.
================================
It seems clear where we are headed, the only advise is to defend yourself, and load up the boat buying gold or back up the truck buying silver, as this next year is going to be, one heck of bullion ride.

The Sham Cartel
A cartel is a group of horizontally connected entities having horizontal agreements to affect commercial prices. Cartels have been outlawed by anti-trust and unfair competition laws in the USA as being inherently evil in a free market economy that relies on fair competition and survival of fittest to maximize productivity for the over all increase in wealth and living standards of the citizenry. However, there are also common laws that indicate that the "king can do no wrong", and governments are typically immune to anti-trust laws. Governments can hide behind governmental immunity to perfect pricing schemes that would otherwise throw banksters and crooks in prison. Governments get a free pass, because they are really controlling prices for our own good.
We all understand OPEC, a cartel of a coalition of horizontally connected oil producing countries, who meet regularly, to set and fix, and reset and refix, production levels, so as to maintain stable oil prices, so as to neither shock the world into economic depressions nor provide motivations to eliminate oil as the world premiere energy source. As such, the production level floats up and down over time. OPEC is immune to US anti-trust and unfair competition laws. OPEC is a true cartel, operating for stated specific purposes. We all get that.
Now comes the Gold Cartel, lead by the ECBs to set a limit on the number of tones of gold that can be sold by member countries during a period of years. Hence, there is a horizontal agreement between horizontal entities to fix sell tonnage levels to affect price, which entities also enjoy governmental immunity that would otherwise be considered inherently evil and unlawful. In the laws of conspiracy, one need not actually do the deed, but only agree to the scheme to be carried out. Here, the WAG2 agreement is, by acronym, a Washington DC agreement, and apparently, Uncle Sam was in there pitching for the agreement, which has been carried out. As such, Uncle Sam must be considered a co-conspirator, but also subject to governmental immunity, even though not actually signing the agreement, which conspiracy to affect price becomes more obscure to the average Joe on main street USA. The Gold Cartel minimally includes the ECBs and Uncle Sam, to affect gold prices.
But what is the real nature of the Gold Cartel? Lets take an honest look at it. The terms are that the gold bullion selling must be limited to, NO MORE THAN, 500 tones sold a year. Now, when one sells gold what happens to the price of gold? Yeah, I know this is complex stuff, but bare with me. When you sell gold, the price of gold goes, hhhmmmm, DOWN!!! As such, on its face, the WAG2 is an agreement to prevent the price of gold from falling, that is, limit the down side price of gold. No other conclusion is possible. And this makes superficial sense as the ECBs have the largest collective hoard of gold bullion in the world, most notably, France, Italy, Germany, England, et al. Of course, selling has reduced their stocks over the term of the agreement.
So, the Gold Cartel is in the apparent business of controlling gold prices, so they wont GO DOWN, thereby, used to support the price of gold up, protecting the value of the golden hoards. This makes complete sense. Now lets look at how that gold selling has actually affected prices. It appears that the selling is concentrated and most active, when the price of gold goes up. The most striking example of this was the 40 ton smack down of the gold price in May 06 when gold was launching up in its second bull channel trend. That selling, to smack down a rising gold price, is completely contrary to the apparent plain-language purpose of the Cartel's WAG2 agreement. When prices are going up, don’t sell, but hold, if you want to retain value in your portfolio. Apparently, then, retaining value is not the real purpose behind the gold sales. Well, maybe the selling at high prices is to gain profits? British Exchequer Brown, selling tons of British gold at the bottom of the gold price, did not seem to be profit or wealth retention oriented sale, now was it? The selling of gold is matched to the rising price of gold, and hence, in fact, the WAG2 has been used, in effect, to suppress gold prices.
It was learn during the Nixon era, that price fixing causes more problems that it solves. Here, the suppression of prices have tanked gold exploration, resulting in short suppression, but long term shortages, that in the end, will rocket gold prices sky high. It is ridiculous to suppose that the selling of gold to suppress prices was to take advantage of long term sky high price hikes, when you have already sold your gold. Hence, the cartel is not functioning to create long term sky high gold prices.
On the face of it, it appears that the cartel WAG2 is used, contrary to the plain language expected use, not to support gold prices, but to suppress gold prices. If the sale of gold is not used to prevent a collapse in gold prices, is not used to retain wealth, is not used to capture profits, is not used to take advantage of long term sky high prices, what possibly can the WAG2 be used for, other than to suppress gold prices as indicated by the timing of the gold sales? None.
Here comes Uncle Sam's role, the effective obscure ringleader of the cartel, proudly having the "Washington" formal name on WAG2. Good old Uncle Sam is also the leader in fiat printing, the pervasive injector of fiat money into all foreigner's forex reserves, as the world's reserve currency. What motivation could there possibly be, to suppress gold prices, when that relic has been deemed publicly as irrelevant? The average Joe on main street understands inflation and gold, despite the government pronouncements of an irrelevant relic. The number of tons sold is actually timed to suppressed gold prices, which gives average Joe and others around the world, a comfortable feeling with the sound value of fiat while also having a tendency to calm markets, which are the stated public policies of the government, that is, to keep a strong fiat dollar.
When you look at the uses of WAG2 objectively, the Cartel does not sell gold using periodic adjustments to protect against both too low and too high gold prices, like OPEC and the oil price, but rather is used solely to suppress high gold prices consistent with the stated purpose of Uncle Sam, to maintain a strong dollar. When you look at the effective uses of the Cartel WAG2, the use has been to suppress the rate of increase in the gold price, which supports the fiat dollar, to Uncle Sam's delight, and well as supporting the fiat of the ECBs. The Cartel WAG2 is not an agreement to support gold prices, as indicated by its plain language terms to limit sales, but rather an agreement, as effectively used, to suppress gold prices, and as such, Uncle Sam's gold cartel, is a farcical Gold Cartel, the sham cartel.

Rumor has it, that stockhouse bullboards is being over run by a pack of roaring cubs, who conveniently post parcels not fully explaining the conclusions. Sure glad in here the cubs are having a time out, and most graceously giving me a chance to fully explain the positions. Dont know if there is any truth to it, cubs invading the bullboards, but the last I want hear is a bunch of whinning kittens having a temper tantrum, been there, done that. Lets all hope they keep close to the lioness and out of the cafe, as derelict is really into to feline fratricide. 
That very welcomed graciousness by the cafe gang, is evinced by the first ever 1000 views of this thread, without allot of name calling, mindless spewing, and temper tantrums. Thanks Gang, I really do appreciate it.
====================================
The questioned was asked, can there be smart hedging (forward selling of your precious metal production)
==============================
Yes, provided the BANKs are cut out of the loop.
===========================================
Some banks will monetize the bond, issue a gold derivative based upon gold of bond, and then short sell gold on the exchanges. If someone has a long position buried in bond, the bond interest can be repackaged, they can hedge that long position, by selling short. The cartel loves that!!!. A bond holder would always be able to look to corporate assets for repaying in default, and with gold in the ground, the bond gold terms are MEANINGLESS in my view, and hence, must be there for a reason, and hence will be used to short sell gold, as another freaking gold derivative.
Miners can issue a security that is not tied to bullion's performance, but if the security is tied to bullion, look out, short sellers can take advantage, through tricky derivatives. If a miner wants to raise capital, putting forward production on the block, then the Silver Wheaton royalty play is the model of choice, without short selling on market. A royalty house can buy forward production by raising cash through equity, with rise/fall risks on royalty house share price, and not by shorting bullion forward production on the exchanges that would hurt all by bullion short selling of foward production. GOLD BOND will BOMB, thumbs down, as another gold derivative play.
If a miner wants to short sell forward production, then do so through a royalty house, (which buys the further production and uses its share dilution to fund the purchase and then reeps profits when forward sells are acquired and resold at the time of mining, and hence, temporal mining/selling without the short selling future production on the exchanges) such that, only share prices are affected, and NOT THE BULLION price at the time of hedging to a royalty house. That is the key to SMART HEDGE SELLING. Hedge in a way that does not affect the exchanges bullion prices. This would be a KEY business opportunity for BARRICK if it had the desire to be the honorable KING PIN in gold bullion. Barrick set up a Gold Wheaton company that buys forward production and issues shares. For example, Barrick has 9.5 mil oz forward sold that has already hit the exchanges and has therefore (criminally unethically) suppressed bullion prices to Barrick's shareholders, and Barrick's competitors alike. So Gold Wheaton issues 9.5 mil shares at $740/share and buys Barrick 9.5 oz hedge book as Gold Wheaton long. 9.5 mil oz, that were just covered and bought off the exchanges undoing the damage of the initial short sell, and Barrick's hedge book just went off market (virtually overnight) and gold pops up by the by, 100/oz. Barrick still owes 9.5 Mil oz, but to Gold Wheaton who resell upon mining, and not before.
Of course to do this, some long are going to make out huge, 9.5mil x 740-340, 4 billion dollars, which Barrick is underwater already. Barrick did not loose, but failed to win, on these 9.5 mil oz. Barrick can do this very easily, and do it now, without a loss on the books, as it still retains the 9.5 mil hedge book, though the hedge book does redunce future earnings, but that was already done, anyway, so it dont hurt Barrick anymore than it already is. However, bullion is lifted up through on-market dehedging when 9.5 mil oz are removed (bought) on the exchange.
As Barrick mines this 9.5 mil oz, they go to Gold Wheaton, who sales, say $1000-$740 is 260/oz profit on each share, Barrick Wheaton shareholders make out big! Barrick dont care who owns its forward production, get a net sum zero. Bullion prices are not suppressed by ANY short sell of forward production.
If Barrick becomes the sole shareholder of Gold Wheaton, then Barrick could manage to reduce it "failure to win", by selling at 340, buying back at 740 and selling again for $1000. If done correctly, in view of $1000 target price, Barrick could, effectively get out of the hedge, without a loss, and some gain, though missing out on 4Bln in profit between the time first hedge and the wheaton buy back.
Barrick neither wins/loses.
Gold Wheaton shares wins based upon price performance
Bullion wins eliminating hedges off the market
All miner shares win by eliminating hedges off the market with a higher bullion price.
Guess who gets screwed?????????????
WIN WIN WIN thats the play.
OK, should I put in the call to Barrick and tell them what to do. Perhaps Blanchard v Barrick lawyers should be made aware of this aspect.
Barrick could then be No. 1 Gold Producer and No. 1 Gold Royalty house, that can be used to eliminate GOLD forward sells on the exchanges, which is the real damage to the miner industry. Can you imagine if all hedges out more than one year were cleaned up and removed/covered on the exchanges. TO THE MOON alice. and everyone wins, except the BIG LOSERS ..... the freaking banks who no longer have the long/short hedges (buy long future production and sell short now on the exchanges), guarranted profits, by short selling on the exchanges. Hambro fell in bed with the banks, and we bugs are going to get smoked, you watch. I admire Mr. Peter Hambro, he's smart guy, honest miner, and a friend of gold and GATA, I sure hope he's knows what he is doing.
If there are any Barrick shareholders, please send this along to them, and Hambro as well, freaking idiots.
Once the big boys start down the hedging road, its painful to extricate it in a rising price environment.
Barrick could, using Gold Wheaton raise funds on an IPO, purchase Barrick's 9.5 mil oz of future production through gold wheaton, to get the hedge "off-market" and into the royalty house. Neither one wins/loses, but bullion prices are raised to both (everyone's) advantage!!!!. Barrick could deliver the 9.5 mil oz, at prices over $1000, and being the Gold Wheaton share holder, recup a good portion of its 4Bln loss opportunity.
Gold Wheaton could buy any other's hedges or FUTURE hedges, to keep, forward production sells off-market, so as not to suppress bullion.
Barrick does not need to bite the bullet, and dehedge its hedge book, to do the honorable thing, but could merely set up "Gold Wheaton", to eliminate the affect of past hedging, and so that any futher selling of foward production is not used by the CARTEL to suppress bullion prices. That is the objective.
Barrick clean up its on-market hedge book, 9.5 mil oz, by transefer to an off-market Gold Wheaton royalty house, and put the mine industry where it should rightfully be, back to square zero, with no overhanging hedges that have been used to suppress bullion prices. CARTEL will be pisst!!
In this manner, all existing and future hedging and its bad affects, can be removed from the mining business, without short selling suppression on the exchanges. However, the problem with this plan, is that, it effectively put profits in hands of shareholders and not the banks, by cutting the banks out of the longbuy/shortsell hedge positioning, and by removing the future production short sell from the Cartel ammo bin to suppress bullion.
So, there ya go, DOA.
Le Patron, The long and short of SILVER.
By forward selling silver by products, to reduce risks of cost of production of main ore component, such as zinc, (with by-product silver being the majority dominate amount of produced silver), to a silver bull mine company (silver wheaton) and hence not to a bullion bank, (that would then otherwise place shorts on the exchanges to lock in its profits from a long and short hedge), there is a corresponding reduced amount of bullion bank short selling, and hence, silver will act more like a commodity, (than based upon future short selling of future production) and with a 15 year supply deficit in silver, SILVER IS GOING TO THE MOON, and now, on top of this, the silver ETFs are doubling their size of wharehoused silver taking even more silver off of the spot market, and what you get is the most explosive set up in silver in centuries, not based upon "manipulation", but upon fundamentals and taking the Bullion Banks OUT OF THE LOOP, so that profits goes to mine companies and investors, AND NOT THE BANKS.
Once the Silver Wheaton "Royalty" play of cutting out the middle-man bullion banks, so as to gain more control over supply and demand, and hence control the silver market, is understood, more and more private mine companies will spin off silver bull ROYALITY houses, (Silver Wheaton), cut the bullion banks off from their profit, rocket Silver due to supply and demand to the MOON with reduce short selling, and hence, the mine industry takes back silver control from the bullion bankers, and reinstates necessary SUPPLY/DEMAND fundamentals into the market, as silver explodes, say 1000% from here.
Load up, HI-HO silver, away.
Derrick
================
It would be nice, if a Gold Wheaton would surface, and Silver Wheaton and Gold Wheaton are used by the INDUSTRY to forward sell production when cash is needed, but that these two royalty houses, sell the forward production later when actually mined, thus, the hedge risk is upon Gold/Silver Wheaton shareholders betting on positive differential between current price and negotiated price, without the bullion bank buying the forward production and emediately selling it on the exchanges, thereby unethically suppressing bullion to the disadvantage of all miners and shareholders. (An ETF holds the bullion usually good only in rising prices, whereas the royalty houses negotiates long term production forward contracts with a royalty of sorts between current spot and contract price that shareholder participate in, which can be good on both up/down moves in silver)
A smart hedge: retain profits in the industry and shareholder, prevent current suppression through on-exchange forward sell, cut the banks off from their long/short profit, and reduces the AMMO of the CARTEL.
We need a biggie like Barrick, to offer the Gold Wheaton deal.
hhhmmmm I hear china has 200 Billion good to go. (timing is curious perhaps even suspicious) Suppose china said, (as in trading places), Buy-em Buy-em Buy-em (gobbling up future production, at todays prices, with China-Wheaton-Gold royalty house), (knowing full well at any time they could buy gold on spot and bring the price up to whatever is necessary so that China Wheaton make a profit), without tanking bullion prices or gold production, already in the dumpster, by merely buying up all existing gold hedges, which would be politically neutral consistent with chinese culture not to rock the boat.
Maybe, the deal is already done, and we just dont know it, so, tell me, how large is the Dec open interest above $700/oz???? we got 200Bln to spend!
Who really knows, but I bet China would rather have more bullion and less FRNs in their forex accounts, and at 1.3T FRN with 15% desired gold reservers, is, ah, wa, oh, a mere 200Bln, eh?
You heard it here first.
==================
Barrick Gold, a modern Racketeer?
We all know who Barrick Gold is, the world's king in gold bullion production, having a monster hedge book of 9.5 million ounces. It is of general belief that hedging is good for developers to provide necessary funds to launch production, but not so good for the majors, having reserves, production, and cash flow, when well managed, offering the potential of increasing growth of the company within the current business cycle. On this basis, the hedge book at Barrack is unwarranted and could lead to billions in down stream losses and shareholder value ruination in the normal course of business. However, it appears that Barrick's gold business is not so normal.
Mr. C. Powell, of GATA fame, has recently indicated that the hedge position of Barrick could be use to acquire some 50 mil oz of Au in deep storage, and hence, improve Barrick's very long term outlook. I have been thinking along these lines as well for over a year now, and am so grateful to Mr. Powell for putting it in writing for all to consider. However, there is a twist, that should not go unrecognized.
Anyone recall Placer Dome, Homestake Mining, Pangea Goldfields, Pioneer Metals, Arequipa Resources, Sutton Resources, and others that are now gone? Competition in the gold industry has been destroyed in some measure, undeniably so. When a major, already in the driver seat, with reserves, production, cash flow, seeks to hedge further production for purposes of growth through acquisition, then what the major effectively does is MANIPULATE bullion price down on the short side of bullion, depressing competitors share value to their disadvantage, for Barrick's short term loss of value as well, during this hedge "dumping", for purposes of monopolizing the gold production industry by acquiring all competitors and all gold resources, on the cheap, and in doing this, BARRICK could be considered the roaming thugs of the gold mining community, and could possibly be CRIMINAL RACKETEERS, with predatory practices that must have limits, ala the anti-trust actions of the early 1900s. There is no difference between Standard Oil and Barrick, is there?. This might be the basis of the Blanchard anti-trust case against Barrick et al.
On moral grounds and fair-dealing principles only, no one should touch any major with a hedge position, especially the very biggest ones on the hunt for acquisitions. Dehedge your hedge book, then, ok, all is fair, but it aint. Personally, I wont support what I believe to be criminal racketeering. Our great country realized the down-falls of monopolies some 100 years ago, and yet, it seems, we forget these lessons, time and time again, and don’t remain vigilant to the evils of greed in corporate America and in the world. Lets all thank GATA and Mr. Powell, for attempting to keep the gold mining industry fair and competitive, and stop Barrick's apparent desire to become the world's ONLY gold producer and the gold industries' biggest criminal as a modern racketeer.

Martial Law is declared in Pakistan!! Well, tensions are rising, we may not need to wait for an Iranian blockade, this could do it, if all hell breaks out. Musharriff will get brutal, and that aint good.
===============================================
But then, give some terrorists the bomb, and we might get to 1500$/oz allot sooner. Or are they "freedom fighters", I keep getting those two terms mixed up. Well, whatever you want to call them, I dont care, but uncivilized fantanics with THE BOMB, cant be a good thing. And exactly where in the US was the last terror attack. hhmmm With a knife, they will cut off a head (yours), with a highjacked airliner, they can fry 3000, with a dirty bomb material, its 250,000 will go down in a puff of smoke, with the real deal, its 10,000,000. Oh yeah, lets wait three more years until Iran has the bomb as well. Geeezzzzzzz
==============================
Hey check this out, JUST IN from AP.
===============================
AP, Jan 5th, 2008, New York, Terrorists have detonated a dirty boom in manhattan, authorities are order up, wrecking crews to blow up and bulldoze NYC into the atlantic, the costs is upwards of 15T$ and 250,000 deaths. Rumor has it Kerry is enroute to Swazierland to ask Bin Laden for a truce.
======================
Now, lets all give Iran the BOMB, and trust our children's lives that Iranian security guards will keep the stuff secure. Yeah Right
===================
Exactly, to the day, two years ago, I sent Bush, CC Rice and Musharrif, that Musharrif must institute free and fair elections. Did any of them listen to me, HELL NO, flies get no respect. And now, look at that crap going on in islamabad. There is no need for it. I calling Bush on the carpet on this one. Make another mistake in foreign Policy.

President Bush, my beloved president.
I am often taken back by the chants of "Death to America" coming out of Iran. This belligerence towards the US has it origins in a mistaken foreign policy by the Nixon Administration and that came to head during the Carter Administration, through our unequivocal support of strong-man rule, such as the Shaw of Iran, leading to 30 years hostilities with no end in sight. Ex president Carter has no moral footing to condemn the current Bush administration's actions, because at least you president Bush, have herald in the democracy century, and are activity setting up democracies in the middle east, the only true way to win the war on terror in the long run. We should learn from our mistakes. That mistaken foreign policy stems from US desires to conduct it trade in peace, and hence the US supported strong-man rule that would sit on the crazies. However, the correct policy, in my view, is to support strong man rule, only if they, in turn would institute democratic reforms, so that all would have rights to express grievances to the government so that all could participate in the affairs of state, so that they would not resort to the only means available, to wit, terror, to make a political point.
Currently we have a strong ally in Pakistan, and the turning of this Muslim country to activity hunt down Al Queda remnants in the western remote hills of Pakistan with US military materials support was a fantastic act of diplomacy by your administration that has directly lead to the capture Al Queda leaders with reduced nuclear threats towards India and with a reduction of hostilities in Kashmir. I understand that the earthquake in Pakistan presently preoccupies much of our effort there, rightfully so. I was so proud to see those displaced Pakistanis receiving food aid boxes emblazoned with "USA". This sends a strong message to those affected that the US stands tall in its compassion for others, and helps improve our image there.
But, at some point in time, we must learn from our mistakes, and encourage President Musharraf to institute local democratic reforms, initially to municipal and regional elections, eventually leading to a duly elected parliament, and ultimately the presidency. Perhaps next year, after the emergency earthquake relief has been stabilized, you could publicly request Pakistan to move in democratic directions. The Pakistanis do have a recent history of democracy and the reinstitution of democractic reforms there seems to be an easy goal to achieve. A four prong diplomatic approach toward Pakistan, that is, earthquake relief, military materials support, democratic reforms, and nuclear disarmament, would go along way in cementing favorable views of the USA in that trouble region, whilst supporting an ultimate victory on the war on terror. Calling for democracy century, whilst not pushing democratic reforms in Pakistan, is not only hypocritical, but does not further the ultimate victory on the war on terror. Calling for democratic reforms in Pakistan in 06, with some movement or promises then would be timely for the November 06 elections, and that could be herald at the state of union in 2007, as another indication of our your bold and noble leadership.
Sincerely
Derrick Michael Reid

===============================
To be fair the Bush, the US did arrange for Bhutto to go into Pakistan to start an opposition in an election, too little too late, and Musharrif, just back stabbed Bush, trying to hold onto power through the billy club. Dont these people learn?
=======================
Senator REID is hopeless, (Krauthammer call it REID's absurdity, hey, is charles a cafe member, LOL.)
REID: Pakistan is exploding because US is bogged down in Iraq.
California Fires, Pakistan unrest, and the ring around the toliets are all because Bush lied us all into Iraq.
ROFLMAO, where do they find these liberals, I mean, on the ground rolling, on the ground.
by the by, Pelosi did echo my call that Bush was slow to encourage Pakistan to lean to democratic institutions, so once, I got to agree with her, hhhhhmmmm first time in two years. Not bad for a dem.
Of course what it so GD sickening about is that, she said nothing of course in advance, but rather ONLY complains. Why the heck did she not bring up the issue when she was in her scharf in syria, befriending as some who argue, treasonously the enemy, while not saying any thing about democracy in Syria or Pakistan. Those who only complain and offer no solutions are pewks from the get go. Got no resprect for pewks, left or right, who only complain. We should be on the same team, offering up SOLUTIONS rather that degrading each other. Politicians, generally a bunch of panderers. Just makes me sick to no end.

Memos are going out this day, to position strike forces off the Indian Ocean, (lets get the pacific fleet just a little closer to Iran, nice little subtrefuse play) in case, Musharriff gets in over his head. Musharrif may just start pounding those west pakkies harbourers, as well as Al Quida and taliban remenance. Notice that Musharrif is playing Nice with india these days. That is the two front problem of course, make nice on one side, and go after the other. Bush may just order Musharriff to move the nukes to India for safe keeping, OF ALL THINGS, or dismantle them and give to the US for destruction. US has been seeking a pakie-indian nuke dismantling, but without any success. Things may be a changing on that front.
THIS COULD GET NASTY. Musharriff backed into a corner, hmmm, maybe an islamofacists up-rising and civil war in the making, but rest assure, Bush will be in there trying to keep a lid on things, and that means supporting Musharriff militarily.
Musharriff has no choice, the islamofacist are on the hunt, an honest election may be too little to late, and not in the islamofacists theocratic game plan, so, they want musharrif out, and he wont go willingly. This could get real nasty. Musharriff, may now hear Afghan's call for more action with west pakkieland, and Musharriff may just go in big, and while putting a lid on the cities, and whole place goes up in smoke, clouding my crystal ball, if he can hold is gov/miliatry together, saturated is islamofacists. The call, donno, throw a dart, but you may just see in 2 hours, monday asia open, GOLD LAUNCHES to near all time highs. We will see. (PS, dont look like, maybe its not all that islam-a-bad.)
I can not understand those who think this is not a war on terror, that is, on islamfacism, and want to cut-and-run, and hunker down in the USA, and wait to get hit agian?
What WAS the american saying, live free or surrender?
Well the US is heating up the arms race, but without a competitor. While terrorists seek nukes, US, with its hands tied, seek stand off strike capability. Yep, its war alright. Unmaned predator drones with missile capabilities. Unmaned roaming ground moving missile launchers capable of precision strikes within 30km. Yeap, the stand off, strike capabilities being acquired. US people cant handle the death of soldiers, so the US is moving to smart stand off strike capabilities, unmaned areal and ground precision units, striking at stand off. We spend 400bl/yr on DOD, lets get our money worth, and send in the unmanned 7th cav, that is, about time for a good bang/buck play.
Hey, you see, going the movies, you can learn something. Where is Sara Conner anyway? Got to keep an eye on her, you know.
So the US is supporting the Pakistani Shaw, hmmm, militarily supporting an Islamic strong man in the present of social unrest, been there, done that. I am sure the embassies there are well protected, but could you imagine a US staff being kidnaps and being taken up to swaierisland (sp) west pakkie-land? A US brigade stike force would be there within hours, with Musharrif telling the tribal folks, I TOLD YOU SO.
I would not be surprised if naval-marine units are being put on alert right now, and weighing anchor, just now for a "modest" redeployment exercise.

================
Either, china gives razputin the go ahead (more like a huge push), to force xerxes into caving in on the IAEA strick compliance/inspections and controlled/supervised enrichment, thereby saving existing political and economic ties with xerxes, or the gulf of tonken redo, and the US, with a little french wine, takes out xerxes most probably through some dumb hooded tri-delt gals getting into a patrol boat with a pistol and the greatest fireworks show of all time goes off.
========================
Today, China and US agreed that Iran should not have nuclear arms. Xerxes and Razputin, just got the double-cross, I guess, china, who want civility and oil flow, dont like the russian double dutch, or so it seems.
Now china want to be friends to all, really, they want to make money to clam the native. They dont want sanction either, but, unlike their russki pals, prefer less public exhibitions. Crazy Ivan, well, its cultural and bravodo.
China knows what up in the US power play. Dont think there will be any more arms sales to Iran, either. Dang, it moves fast at time, this global confluence, if you have your antenna up to recognize it.
So, Russia is now left to do the dirty deed, and pull the rug out from Iran, and GAME over, war is avoided. You bet the Sino dragon going to be chewing some russki bear butt here real quick, you watch, but you cant, China is not a public exhibitionist, and will do it from back channels, so the break will come, when Russia makes a change in posture, perhaps privately awell, so that they do not appear as caving in to the US. So, the result will be a remarkable change in Iran, "cant we all just get along". Maybe be some time though, dont know when, but its coming. China wont have it any other way.
Bush and world, WINS!!
As indicated, Iran remains the last serious nut to crack. And they got no real friends, the russki would sell Iran out in a heart beat (OPEC is the competitor), if it suit them, and with a no-win on the nuke issue, (razputin has played that out for as much political pandering as possible), and will force them into off cite material process and controlled supervision.
Olypics are a wonderful world thing, arnt they? I dont know any specific, but, did the US encourage a bejing olypics in 2008? Any clues? Could Bush be that forethinking, donno, but pieces are falling into place, almost, magically.

Absolutely astounding, UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
US and china to have military hot line, and joint military exercises, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? There is the begining of the NPTO (North pacific treaty organization, China-Russia-Japan-Australlia-USA-Phillipines, by the way) as predicted. WOW!!!!
Separately, North Korea has started dismantling nuke facility under US supervision, while US is promising millions in AID, and ARE GOING TO OPEN UP FULL diplomatic relations!!!!WOW
Negotiations are under way regarding a peace treaty to end the KOREAN WAR. I hereby declare the COLD WAR officially over!!WOW!!!!
Predictions are that within 10 years, (see time line above), North and south Korea become unified.
WE ARE ON OUR WAY BABY!!!GLORY HALLALUA!!!
The penisula is transforming before our eyes. This is so great for mankind.
As islamabad is in lock down, because of lack of demoncratic reforms, Bush is going to lay a heavy hand on Musharriff, Bush did not keep his eye on the neocon ball and is getting burned just now, (I spanked him good in the email today) but he will get the pakies back on track. I sent him the email today giving Bush his marching orders.
We still got allot of work to chill out Militant Islam, but dang, THE SNOW BALL is a rolling!!!
One year ago, all planes leaving Iraq were full and coming back were empty, today, all planes goting to Iraq are full and leaving ones are empty. The surge IS working. Iraqis are coming back home in droves. Yeah baby!!!
Go back to the original global confluence, and in there its talk in terms of the CORE dominance over that GAP that has reach the TIPPING point, and that is exactly what you are seeing BEFORE YOUR EYES!!!!! Goose pimples all over, I may actually live to see the demise of global militancy.
By the election in 08, Iraq will be off the table. (Bill Maher was chocking on the good news there, I just ROARED!! he is so funny). Democrats will need something, and its look like, its the economy stupid. The republicans with push, its the border stupid as I told them, and of course, pushing the fear buttion, if there is any real fear left, by election day. And there, my friends, is the real entry window for Paul.
This may make RON PAUL more palitable, (he is not a terror warrior), but if Bush can get Iran handled, and then, AND ONLY THEN, would Paul make sense for the real money conversion.
100 years the global battle for confluence has been waged and cost US a ton of doe, but in the end it may be well spent, despite possible recession/depression in the offing, it would be short lived (less than 5 years, if the FRNs are burned and trashed) Its possible to see it much sooner. We have 10T in debt that will be drop to zero over night and all foreigner's forex take a huge hit as well, everyone pony ups for global civility (ala Nixon not tying FRN to gold, and in the end, IT WAS THE RIGHT PLAY AT THE RIGHT TIME IN HISTORY), and Walking Liberty will come home on real money, and back to the silver dollar, (as vegas goes back to the silver dollar bet "the hard ways". Can the government move that quickly, who knows, BUT NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE!! I am 54yo, and feel like a kid, just now. It working baby!!! It seems the world is moving fast just now. Degrading the FRN effectively makes the rest of the world pony up, and well as spreading the subprime losses, dont know if it was plan, but by magic (human cultural evolution), its seems to be working baby. China surpasses US as 2nd largest gold producer, yeah baby, ITS A GLOBAL REAL MONEY ECONOMY in the offing. Pieces are coming together, you are witnessing the greatest shift in mankind's history, and alive to see it go down.
Thank God, and the olypic committee!!!!
Why is china being so helpful?? here is the clue:
Going for the gold, with a ONE CHINA POLICY, get it?
And those screeching democrats in Tipae will insist upon democratic reforms for unification. YEAH BABY!! and that means, democratic china will be on its way. Yeah Baby.
gggeeeeeezzzz, where's my med?

Dont know why, but I do my best thinking about 3am in the morning, half asleep, well Chavez in velnesalia was on my mind.
Remember that the human cultural evolution is driven by the optimal exploitation of human nature leading to global democratization and capitalism. But then, we dont have a pure capitistic society. Economic system lie on a continuum, from pure communism (which is not a political system) to pure capitialism (the jungle), with socialism therebetween. OK, we all get that, its the extent of gov control over economics.
Sure, there must be a safety net, children and the aged should not have to dig in trash cans for a meal, when others have so much. So, need a little social help at times. the helping hand for healty adults, and the hand out for children/aged. OK, that is a fair balance. We dont want to foster corruption and lazyness.
Chavez has used oil to help many leaning left, and many have benefitted, but if you over do it, well, it will catch up and eventually do more harm than good. Right now, its like a fed rate cut, and the market move up, but over the long run, well problem will surface.
As lincoln said about the office seekers, to many pigs for the tits.
Chavez, at his height of public approval, in the initial socialize drugging of the people, is riding high, and emboldened, and is now seeking to change the constitution so that he can Run for office indefinitely. Razputin went through the same thing, but backed off, being just a tad smarter than Chavez. Putin is really not all that bad for a russian. But Chavez is going for a totalitarian state, and in the long run, that will do more harm than good, rather than promoting free markets with less tax, that provide more overall benefit when people are required to work for a living rather than sucking off the government tits, get fat and corrupted.
The 5000 year bull run in human cultural evolution has not been a straight line up, there are corrections at times, ala WWII. But in the end, it will self correct, and bull will continue. Chavez may remain in power for some time, but in the long run, the pendulum swings back and on track.
Lincoln had it right.
======================
Free Lunch
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student Told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country, who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a Strange question: 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms - a little at a time.
One should always remember 'There is no such thing as a free lunch!' Also, 'You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!
=======================
Pigs have no clue,
Pigs are Pigs
Dems want to feed Pigs,
Can you say Oink Oink, and vote them in?
Every American is entitled to a free lunch, a job, health care, a retirement, is the Pig Mantra
So lets fatten up the pig for the slaughter.
I know we need the opposition, cant function without, but it does seem at time, they loose their focus. Where is Zell Miller anyway?
===========================
By Dennis Prager (investmentrarities)
One of the two major political parties of the United States has linked all its electoral hopes on domestic pathologies, economic downturns and foreign failure.
It is actually difficult to name any positive development for America that would benefit the Democratic Party's chances in a national election.
Name almost any subject, and this unhealthy pattern can be discerned.
If African Americans come to believe that America is a land of opportunity in which racism has been largely conquered, it would be catastrophic for the Democrats. The day that most black Americans see America in positive terms will be the day Democrats lose any hope of winning a national election. Whatever one believes about the extent of racism in America, one cannot deny that the Democrats need black Americans to feel victimized by racism. Contented black Americans spell disaster for the Democratic Party.
If women marry, it is bad for the Democratic Party. Single women are an essential component of any Democratic victory. Unmarried women voted for Kerry by a 25-point margin (62 percent to 37 percent), while married women voted for President Bush by an 11-point margin (55 percent to 44 percent). According to a pro-Democrat website, The Emerging Democratic Majority, "the 25-point margin Kerry posted among unmarried women represented one of the high water marks for the Senator among all demographic groups."
After women marry, they are more likely to abandon leftist views and to vote Republican. And if they then have children, they will vote Republican in even more lopsided numbers. The bottom line is that when Americans marry, it is bad for the Democratic Party; when they marry and make families, it is disastrous for the party.
If immigrants assimilate, it is not good for Democrats. The Democratic Party has invested in Latino separatism. The more that Hispanic immigrants come to feel fully American, the less likely they are to vote Democrat. The liberal notion of multiculturalism helps Democrats, while adoption of the American ideal of e pluribus unum (out of many, one) helps Republicans. That is one reason Democrats support bilingual education — it hurts Hispanic children, but it keeps them from full assimilation — and oppose making English America's official language.
Concerning the economy, the same rule applies. The better Americans feel they are doing, the worse it is for Democrats. By almost every economic measure (the current housing crisis excepted), Americans are doing well. The unemployment rate has been at historically low levels and inflation has been held in check, something that rarely accompanies low unemployment rates. Nevertheless, Democrats regularly appeal to class resentment, knowing that sowing seeds of economic resentment increases their chances of being elected.
The most obvious area in which this rule currently applies is the war in Iraq. The Democrats have put themselves in the position of needing failure in Iraq in order to win the next election. And again, perceptions matter more than reality. Even if America is doing better in the war, what matters most for the Democrats are Americans' perceptions of the war. The worse the stories from Iraq, the better for Democrats.
That helps to explain why the mainstream media, who ache for a Democratic victory, feature stories of wounded American soldiers, grieving families of killed soldiers and atrocity stories — such as the apparently fictitious story printed in the New Republic. But they almost never feature stories about military heroism and altruism. Americans read and watch far more stories about soldiers who commit atrocities than about soldiers who commit heroic actions and who show love to Iraqi civilians.
The list is almost endless. Thus, when pro-American foreign leaders — such as Nicolas Sarkozy in France — are elected, even that is not good for the Democrats. The more the Democrats can show that America is hated, the more the Democrats can argue that we need them in order to be loved abroad.
Undoubtedly, some Democrats might respond that the same thesis could be written if a Democrat were in the White House and the Republicans were out of power. But that is not at all the case. First, there is no equivalent list of bad things happening to America that benefits Republicans. Second, everything written here about the Democrats — except about the Iraq War, which was not taking place then — could have been written when Democrat Bill Clinton was president.
I am not saying that in their hearts all Democrats want black America to regard America as a racist society, or want Hispanics to remain unassimilated, or Americans to feel economically discontented, or fewer families to be formed, or America to lose in Iraq, or foreign nations to hate us.
But what most Democrats want in their hearts is not the issue. The issue is that if Democrats want to win, they can do so only if bad things happen to America.
============
Most Democrats are very loyal americans, and needed, but sometimes loose sight of what is good for america versus winning an election, using pandering.
===========
Loyal Dissent is a good thing!!!
========================
"I do see how most of you could be really pisst about the power trip in DC, the power trip is very obvious ot me (the evil aspect, well that the judgment call), and I respect you all for it, even though I disagree in large measure, as we need you guys, we really do, to keep the power boys on their toes, and to that, I really do thank you all, for being here and there, even though I dont agree with allot of it. That is what is really meant by "free speech", its not YOUR speech you should make sure is free, but the other guy's free speech with whom you disagree.
========================================
The question become what is loyal dissent and disloyal dissent, the former a good thing, the later a bad thing. Preaching cut and run in theater at a time of war, ala gore/clinton, is DISLOYAL dissent, aiding the enemy at a time of war, considered by some to be treasonous. Any dissent should/must not directly encourage sedition and treason or aid our enemies.
=============================
Often, in a free society it is difficult to distinquish between the two, fine lines at time get fuzzy, and hence, the charges counter-charges of being unpatriotic. Difficult issue for sure at times. A concern is raised, do those who poo-poo and dissent from the administration decision to go to war, become disloyal dissent when they then fail to support the war. The USA and bush haters disagrese with the decision to go to war, after duly consented to by the Senate, the rule of law all swore to uphold, but do they really hope we win and support the war, now that the decision was made? While most of the Bush haters loyally dissent, they seem unable to come clean, and simply admit they hope we loose, and thereby make clear, their DISLOYAL DISSENT. Ask yourself the question, in your heart or hearts, do you really hope we win?

Note where, the location, dissenting speech is given.

Legitimate Dissent vs. Anti-American Dishonesty
Wednesday, October 03, 2007
By Bill O'Reilly
Rock star Bruce Springsteen is a very liberal guy. He's currently promoting a new album. And doing that, he appeared on "The Today Show" last Friday.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, SINGER: In the past six years, we've had to add to the American picture rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no Habeas Corpus to the neglect of our great city of New Orleans and the people, an attack on the Constitution, and a loss of our best men and women in a tragic war. So this is a song about things that shouldn't happen here happening here.
So here's the question. Is Springsteen's dissent legitimate or anti-American? While Springsteen is certainly anti-Bush, his words are legitimate dissent in my opinion.
However, I don't respect the dissent unless Springsteen can back up his opinions with facts. Violations of Habeas Corpus, Bruce? When and where? Attack on the Constitution? How so?
Now we've invited the singer on this program to explain, but of course, he declined, perhaps understanding that his words have consequences. And if he couldn't prove his points, he would be held accountable right here. Pop stars, as you know, are rarely held accountable.
And then there's Sean Penn, whose latest trick is to cozy up to Hugo Chavez.
SEAN PENN, ACTOR: I found him very fascinating guy, very - you know, he's done the moment incredible things for the 80 percent of the people that are very poor there. But a fascinating character, somebody I'm writing about and...
DAVID LETTERMAN, TALK SHOW HOST: Yes. Is he talking about nationalizing the media? That always makes me a little concerned when somebody's talking about doing that.
PENN: He's — He's. Well, you know, one of the things that's been said about him is that he shut down a television station. What happen is that for — since 1998, they had been encouraging the assassination of Chavez every day on that channel, something that they would have gone to prison for here. And so, he just didn't re-up that license.
Well, that's absolutely false. That's not true, Sean.
Chavez shut down the RCTV network. It is the GlobalVision network that old Hugo thinks is trying to kill him. That's still operating. So once again, Sean Penn doesn't know what he's talking about. How shocking.
And by the way, the way left Human Rights Watch organization has condemned Chavez's suppression of free speech. Again the question, is Penn's support of the anti-American Chavez legitimate dissent? And the answer is no, because Penn's analysis is based on provable falsehoods. Not that Penn cares. He's in it to diminish his own country, no matter what the facts are.
So Springsteen's OK, with a big reservation about accountability. Penn not OK because he continues to distort reality. Dissent is only valid when based on sincere beliefs with factual back up.
And that's the Memo.
=============================
Where assertions are so "out-there" in terms rationality and accuracy, that too, can be considered disloyal dissent. Spewing hatred irresponsibly is disloyal dissent. If the dissenting speech is so irresponsible, so out-there, so incredible, that it is merely an extreme biased reflection of hate of the country, then that is DISLOYAL DISSENT, unpatriotic, and encourages lesser minds to sedition.
So lets have an example.
Senator Reid proclams in the Senate "the war is lost", and surely that has to have a affect on the moral of the troops, and aids our enemies, gets more of our boys killed, but was it irresponsible? Saying that the costs are too high, and we should withdraw, is a different story, but he asserted a statement of FACT, not an opinion couched as such. But what are the FACTS?
How possibly can a war be lost without a single tactical defeat? REID can not be talking about the greater WAR on terror, as his comment was directed to funding Iraq. REID can not be talking about the war with Saddam, his army and himself have been gone for some time. REID can only be talking about the insurgency, the McCoy-Hatfield fued, characterizing it as a war, which in some ways it is, a civil war where we support the democrats there, who oppose islamofacism and/or totalitarian theocratic rule. So, REID effectively says, the insurgency --civil war-- is lost. A war which, by definition, we can not possibly loose, as it is their civil war, not ours. It is curious why he would be so pessimistic, and so ready to walk away, when the freedom of 30mil are on the line. Certainly not much of a freedom fighting guy, now is he? Or maybe, its just pandering politics, you decide.
Here are the FACTS:
The US Army has not lost a stand up fight. The Iraqi army is slowly standing up. The sunnies are finding the US allies in US democracy fairness, as a counter to the Shia dominance, and turning the sunnies was a big accomplishment. The democracies gears are slowly turning, but turning they are. We already won the WAR against the Iraqi Army, 4th largest in only three week with a great mission accomplished. The people voted for democracy successfully with an approved constitution. Bush is hanging in there to give them a shot at it. Phase II insrugencies is not a "war" of them against us,, but a feud between them, and we are supporting the democrats there, (and maybe they will never get along, and we should leave, but that is not the point). We can not possibly loose that war, but can walk away failing to stand up a new democracy in a civil war. The new surge tactic seems to have had an affect with lower body counts, a good thing that should be continued. Insurgencies are always tricky.
Analysis:
Reid say THE WAR IS LOST, before the surge was taking hold and before any results were in. He jumpe the gun there, so eager to cow-tow moveon.org, and their Bush hating pals. Reid's speech is DISLOYAL DISSENT, because it is so irresponsible, by clearly asserting a FALSE fact, that indirectly gets our boys killed, in his political thugery, that does not support the decision already made, as he swore by oath he would. Reid et al, are clearly unpatriotic. Had it been said outside the US in theater, he should be hung for treason, right behind Gore and Clinton. Murtha's cut and run came close, (either run to fortress American and hunker down, or foward defense, his redeploy makes not sense, at least to me) but was not so totally irresponsible. Kennedy's "Bush's vietam", also came close, (big difference between 3000/55,000 and we taking down Saddam and his army, never taking down NV, now confronting a pure insurgency yet both have an aspect of it, analogy not very close, but close enough) but was not so totally irresponsible. At any time, the US could dump 100K more troops in there, and wipe out the whole rats nest in one go, and win that war/insurgency, hands down. It is not win/loose, but rather, is the price paid to high. Murtha and Kennedy are Patriots, focusing on the issue, is the price to high, Reid is simply lying for apparent political selfish gain.
Conclusion:
REID IS IRRESPONSIBLE and DISLOYAL.
REID is willing to be unpatriotic, violate oath of office, condemn 30 mil to intolerant islamofacism, so as to pander the far left for political control.
Nice. Aint that great.
And that's the memo.
------------------------------
The authors of and the publications of "General Betray Us) is irresponsible, as there is no credible evidence whatsoever that the honorable general betrayed anyone. The NY times is an unpatriotic institution, as it was irresponsible to print a known falsehood. I dont believe the code of military conduct requires a regergitation of the far-left mantra on demand. And any agrument that the general somehow betrayed would be so incredible, such a stretch, (and there are many who can stretch, wildly so), such an over-the-top slander/libel of an honorable man, is also, unpatriotic.
