Tungsten-Filled 1 Kilo Gold Bar Found In The UK

Posted on March 24, 2012 by DRenegade

 The last time a story of Tungsten-filled gold appeared on the scene was just two years ago, and involved a 500  gram bar of gold full of tungsten, at the W.C. Heraeus foundry, the world’s largest metal refiner and fabricator. It also became known that said “gold” bar originated from an unnamed bank. It is now time to rekindle the Tungsten Spirits with a report from ABC Bullion of Australia, which provides photographic evidence of a new gold bar that has been drilled out and filled with tungsten rods, this time not in Germany but in an unnamed city in the UK, where it was intercepted by a scrap metals dealer, and was supplied with its original certificate. The reason the bar attracted attention is that it was 2 grams underweight. Upon cropping it was uncovered that about 30-40% of the bar weight was tungsten. So two documented incidents in two years: isolated? Or indication of the same phenomonenon of precious metal debasement that marked the declining phase of the Roman empire. Only then it was relatively public for anyone who cared to find out on their own. Now, with the bulk of popular physical gold held in top secret, private warehouses around the world, where it allegedly backs the balance sheets of the world’s central banks, yet nobody can confirm its existence, nor audit the actual gold content, it is understandable why increasingly more are wondering: just how much gold is there? And alongside that – while gold, (or is it GLD?), can be rehypothecated, can one do the same with tungsten?

We Are About to Reach the Tipping Point Where the Whole World Stops

Rep. Kelly’s statement concerning risk and contagion in Europe was the focus of this House Committee hearing. The status of the automotive industry from a car dealer’s perspective is enlightening: People are not buying cars because of the level of uncertainty in what the future holds. Rising gas prices are driving the prices of used cars down and Rep. Kelly feels that we are close to reaching the tipping point where the whole world will stop.

Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke on Solutions: Who Should Pay

Posted on March 24, 2012 by DRenegade

The title of the hearing is the “US Response to the European Debt Crisis”. Rep. Peter Welch (D) asks whether cutting taxes on the rich and cutting federal subsidies on medical research/education will lead to growth and lower debt.

1. Why is a Congressman asking tax and spending questions to the Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve Chairman?

2. Why is Sec. Geithner asked for his opinion about the Ryan plan for a national budget?

3. What do these questions have to do with the US exposure to the European Debt Crisis that Bernanke and Geithner have caused without any Congressional oversight?

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Reports Strong First Quarter Bookings

March 21, 2012
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), announced today that for the first quarter 2012, the Company has received orders for more than one million units. Therefore, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.

Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Fifer made the following comments:

  • Year-to-date, the independent wholesale distributors placed orders with the Company for more than one million Ruger firearms.
  • Despite the Company’s continuing successful efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders. Consequently, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.
  • The Company expects to resume the normal acceptance of orders by the end of May 2012.

US REP BRAD MILLER (D-NC): ‘I’d Pull For the Taliban’

Posted on March 23, 2012 by DRenegade

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Democratic Congressman Brad Miller (D-NC) told AP’s Christina Rexrode that if Duke’s basketball team were to play a theoretical game against the Taliban, he would have to “pull for the Taliban”.

Cute, but hardly impolitic. For that, we turn to U.S. Rep. Brad Miller.

After speaking with the state’s five-term congressman last week, Rexrode decided to call back when North Carolina State made the Sweet 16 as well, and ask about divided loyalties.

“The way I deal with it is, I scream my lungs out for Carolina,” Miller said. “I make no pretense that I am at all half-hearted in my support for Carolina. Nobody in North Carolina would trust a politician who claimed to be neutral on a matter as important as college basketball.”

Miller said he rooted for N.C. State against Georgetown, And when they play out-of-state. And any time a Wolfpack win doesn’t affect Carolina’s ranking.

Duke is another story altogether.

“I have said very publicly that if Duke was playing against the Taliban,” Miller said very publicly again, “then I’d have to pull for the Taliban.”

Guess who’s not running for re-election?

Mike Lee on the Floor of the Senate: Our Very Liberties Are at Stake

Posted on March 23, 2012 by DRenegade

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XA2EI5Xc2E

The second anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act and the impending  Supreme Court hearing next week has brought Obamacare back into the media spotlight. The above speech by Sen. Mike Lee would be considered to be hyperbole by this legislation’s supporters but Americans who understand the founding principles of America understand the following statement:

“Our very liberties are at stake and that is why I find this concerting.”

This legislation is not Constitutional and its passage by the Congress over the will of the people was the worst affront to our freedom in the history of the nation.

“Decisions about where you go to the doctor and how you will pay for it are not Constitutional.”

Sen. Lee’s statement is self-evident and the decision by the Supreme Court on this issue will impact the future of our country’s freedom.

New One Family Homes For Sale in the United States

Graph of New One Family Homes For Sale in the United States

Two points concerning this graph from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis:

1. At the current rate of decline, there will be zero units for sale before 2015.

2. The shaded areas indicate US recessions. Does this graph look like we are out of recession? Unless the point is that we are out of recession and into a depression.

The president Does Not Understand God’s Covenant of Marriage

Posted on March 23, 2012 by DRenegade

“While the president does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the record is clear that the president has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples.”

Obama’s criticism of North Carolina’s Constitutional amendment defining marriage according to the Bible is a signal that the Department of Justice will intervene once this amendment passes in May. The Bible clearly defines marriage as a holy covenant between God, one man and one woman. The Bible also clearly defines homosexuality as a sin. Sorry Mr. Obama but you cannot subvert the Bible as you do the Constitution of the United States.

North Carolina is the last state in the South to add this measure to their state’s constitution. Do I agree with this measure? As I stated earlier, marriage is a holy covenant so why is the “state” involved? George Washington did not need the state of Virginia’s permission or license to get married. But we live in different times as the president is completing his transformation of our country. So I will support this amendment along with every other Christian who understands what the “fear of God” represents.

Governor Perdue has made it clear that she opposes this amendment. But let me be clear: North Carolinians know that the president and governor are only concerned with transferring our dependence from God to the Socialist state. But let me also be clear when the Department of Justice intercedes after this amendment is passed: WE WILL NOT COMPLY.

WHAT IS PRESIDENT OBAMA SO AFRAID OF?

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

From SovereignMan.com

Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency.

To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. Presidents Bush (II), Clinton, Reagan, and even Eisenhower provided directives in the same spirit as President Obama’s order– providing some level of government commandeering in times of national emergency.

In the past, these orders have related to things like production capacity for defense contractors, or giving FEMA authority to resolve disputes between other departments in federally designated emergency areas.

President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.

Will Anyone Believe John Edwards’ Denial

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

Outed: Former senator John Edwards is the first name to be revealed from the Manhattan Madam's 'Black Book' of clients who allegedly had sexual trysts with her high-class hookers

The Daily Mail in the United Kingdom has released allegations that former North Carolina Senator John Edwards paid for a call girl from Manhattan Madam Anna Gristina. Although Sen. Edwards is denying the claim, is this a news’ worthy story? I would like to see him fade into the sunset except for one act that the media is not covering. Sen. Edwards was one of three “leaders” who placed us under the curse of the Lord as outlined in “The Harbinger”.

Disgraced senator John Edwards ‘outed as one of Manhattan Madam’s clients’

Disgraced senator John Edwards today denied allegations he had any involvement with one of the high-class hookers working for alleged Manhattan Madam Anna Gristina after it was claimed he paid for sex while in New York during his presidential bid in 2007.

Edwards is the first high-profile name to come out of Gristina’s alleged black book of clients after he was identified today by the website that originally exposed the prostitution ring scandal.

Anna Gristina, 44, from Monroe County, was arrested on February 23 accused of running a million-dollar brothel empire for the last 15 years for wealthy and powerful clients – who are said to be panicking they may be outed ever since.

Will This Be the Focal Point for the American Spring?

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

George Zimmerman (shown above) is the center of the controversial death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.  A Google search on Trayvon Martin will currently return over 500 million hits. Although Mr. Zimmerman has been described as a “light skinned Hispanic”, this incident is being used as a racially motivated hate crime to incite the black community and the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The facts are:

  1. Trayvon Martin is dead.
  2. Mr. Zimmerman was not arrested.
  3. The Department of Justice is investigating this case.

Here is a portion of the 911 call: Continue reading →

Simulation Puts US in Fight if Israel Attacks Iran

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

USS Bonhomme RichardThe scenario raises fears among top U.S. planners that it may be impossible to prevent U.S. involvement in any escalating confrontation between Israel and Iran.

A classified war simulation held this month to assess the repercussions of an Israeli attack on Iran forecasts that the strike would lead to a wider regional war, which could draw in the United States and leave hundreds of Americans dead, according to U.S. officials.

The officials said the so-called war game was not designed as a rehearsal for U.S. military action, and they emphasized that the exercise’s results were not the only possible outcome of a real- world conflict.

But the game has raised fears among top U.S. planners that it may be impossible to preclude U.S. involvement in any escalating confrontation with Iran, the officials said. In the debate among policy makers over the consequences of any Israeli attack, that reaction may give stronger voice to those in the White House, Pentagon and intelligence community who have warned that a strike could prove perilous for the United States.

Help David Price and Obama Celebrate the Success of Obamacare

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

Obama - Biden
Friend —

On Friday, we celebrate the second anniversary of the new health care law that is already helping millions of Americans get access to affordable health care.

In North Carolina alone, 2.5 million people have received expanded coverage of preventive services without paying out-of-pocket expenses — and that’s just one example of what it’s doing for folks here.

There’s a lot more to know. And it’s on us to make sure our neighbors know exactly how the Affordable Care Act helps them and their families. For example, people should hear that insurance companies are now barred from denying coverage for the 539,000 kids in North Carolina who have pre-existing conditions.

That’s why Friday, March 23rd at 6:30 p.m., I’ll be hosting a conference call about health reform with Congressman David Price for all North Carolinians.

Marines down on Obama

Posted on March 22, 2012 by DRenegade

The Marine Corps Times previews its cover story about anti-Obama Marines at their ‘Battle Rattle’ blog.

According to the article, of the 792 active-duty troops and mobilized reservists who responded to this year’s Military Times Poll, 44 percent said that they disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job as commander in chief.

The article cites hot button issues such as repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” relaxing restrictions of women in combat, and steep budget cuts, behind the disapproval numbers.

The report highlights the recent controversy over a Tea Party Facebook page operated by active Marine Sgt. Gary Stein.
