Liberation and Nation-Building … The Domestic Task Ahead

Is it time to liberate the properties infested by tyranny ?

Definition – Nation-Building:  programs in which dysfunctional or unstable or “failed states” or economies are given assistance in the development of infrastructure and civil society.

Yeah, it’s time.

A NEW PRICING STRUCTURE IN THE PRECIOUS METALS

Submitted By Bill Holter, Miles Franklin Ltd,:

We woke up this morning to a “new pricing structure” in the precious metals and people are wringing their hands.  The following article http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/04/16/update-to-the-update-the-attack-on-gold-paul-craig-roberts/ by Paul Craig Roberts, (former assistant secretary to the Treasury) is a great read and covers broadly what has just happened in the paper markets.  He talks most importantly about “why” it was done.  We knew that a large draw-down of COMEX Gold inventories took place just a couple of weeks ago, trader Andrew Maguire asserts that this was the result of a developing default on London’s LBMA.  He gives the recent paper sell off as the “response”  to delivery requests.

But what has been the response to our “new pricing structure”?  Dealers across the US have sold out of many Silver categories and the premiums have risen sharply.  The premiums have risen just as fast as the paper markets took the price down.  You will still pay very close to or higher than $30 at many shops for Silver Eagles and Maples, junk (if you can find it) is actually higher.  So did the price “go down” for those looking to buy and have it actually delivered?  Not really and certainly not much if you were able to find it.  Premiums on Gold have also risen but nearly enough to offset the drops in paper prices as Gold (above ground stockpiles) were surely pilfered to provide product.  I have always maintained that “Silver” was the Achilles heel and would be the cause of any sort of default and it looks like Silver is surely a much tighter market and “just in time inventories” are not keeping up with demand.

NC General Statutes § 14-12.7

The Euro Legacy: In Greece, Children Pick Through Trash Cans For Food

We have reached a point where children are coming to school hungry,” as with an estimated 10% of Greek elementary and middle school students suffering from ‘food insecurity’, the troubled nation has fallen to the level of some African countries. As the NY Times reports, unlike the US, Greek schools do not offer subsidized cafeteria lunches. Exacerbated by the austerity measures including cuts in subsidies for larger families, the cost has become insurmountable for many. With 26% of Greek households on an ‘economically weak diet’, children are starting to steal for food and picking through trash cans as they proclaim, “our dreams are crushed.” What is frightening is the speed at which it is happening, “a year ago it wasn’t like this,” as one family talks of the ‘cabbage-based diet’ which it supplements by foraging for snails in nearby fields. Programs are being started to help from wealthier Greeks, but as one parent said,“unless the EU acts, we’re done for.”

Via NY Times,

As an elementary school principal, Leonidas Nikas is used to seeing children play, laugh and dream about the future. But recently he has seen something altogether different, something he thought was impossible in Greece: children picking through school trash cans for food; needy youngsters asking playmates for leftovers; and an 11-year-old boy, Pantelis Petrakis, bent over with hunger pains.

Are You Ready to Ruck-and-Roll?

Steamy & SoakedRuck-and-Roll – (verb) to grab your rucksack, get out of your quarters and off the grounds, ready to fight, in 5 minutes or less.

If recent events are any indication, you should probably be practicing this drill until you have it down to reflex…  Have your gear ready, know your exit routes to nearby cover and concealment, and practice, practice, practice.  Whether you need this exercise for E/E purposes, or to be an effective component of your community’s QRF, it all starts with this essential reaction drill.

What If Nuclear Power Generators Were Forced Off Line?

The Obama administration, through their directives to EPA, have been forcing coal and oil fired electric generation plants off line for the last 4 years.  According to the reports I have seen (and here), coal-fired electric generation has been reduced from 64% to 42%  of the country’s electric generation capacity since Obama was elected.  While these regulatory changes are claimed to be for the purpose of “driving investment in green energy”, the actual result has been substantially increased dependence upon nuclear-generated electricity, as “renewable sources” account for only 5% of generation capacity today, up only 2% from 2007, when “renewables” produced just 3% of electric power.

So what if an event happened which forced the US to take many or all of the nuclear generation facilities into shutdown?  Widespread blackouts.

blackout-city

How vulnerable is the US to disruption of electric power generation and transmission?  Profoundly vulnerable.  Dozens of incidents happen each week which *could* precipitate a grid-fault, which would force generating stations off-line, cascading the failure across a wide area as we witnessed with the New York City blackout a decade ago.

Such a major blackout will impact public communications, as well, so it will culminate in a multi-mode infrastructure failure event which will affect many millions when it occurs, and it is only a matter of time.

You know what you need to do – prepare for this eventuality.

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED

Looting is the New Normal

west-texas-looting

In today’s world, looting has become an assumed component of any disruptive event.  From hurricane ‘Sandy’ to Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing (and here), looting in the immediate aftermath of an event is standard fare.  Anyone who is not prepared to immediately step up and protect their property in the event of a tragic event, should expect to loose it should said event occur.

Saudi National and Boston Student Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi Is Being Deported

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU73EZmYjF4

SAUDI NATIONAL RULED OUT AS ‘SUSPECT’ IN BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS TO BE DEPORTED ON NATIONAL SECURITY GROUNDS NEXT WEEK

Appearing on “Hannity” Wednesday night, the Investigative Project on Terrorism’s Steve Emerson reported that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday. He based his information on a number of his confidential sources.

“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday,” Emerson said.

Host Sean Hannity referenced a report by Reuters that revealed President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House Wednesday. They reportedly discussed the conflict in Syria.

“The meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule,” the report adds.

BitCoin Exchange BitFloor Shuts Down

n an amusing development, one of the key alternative BitCoin exchanges, BitFloor, has just announced it is forced to shut down immediately. It is amusing, because one of the primary reasons attributed by the BTC pundits for the recent crash from $260 to $50 was errors and faults in the primary bitcoin exchange MtGox. Well, with alternative exchanges forced to shut down, this may mean the only “faulty” marketplace will sees it monopoly power increase further. It is also ironic because as BitFloor disclosed it “can no longer provide the same level of USD deposits and withdrawals as we have in the past.” Whatever happened to decentralized, and unencumbered by legacy fiat currencies?

The Verge has some more:

Apple reportedly stops placing Mac component orders

Apple has reportedly stopped placing component orders for its Mac series products recently and related upstream suppliers so far have not yet received any word about when the US-based vendor will resume its orders, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

The suppliers originally expected to finish digesting their Mac inventories in April, but are now stranded waiting for further instructions from Apple.

The sources revealed that Apple’s Mac orders to the supply chain dropped to almost nothing after the Lunar New Year holidays. Apple had high hopes for its Mac product lines and placed aggressive orders at the end of 2012; however, the company is now badly affected by the decision.
