The final wheel ready to come off the cart and there is no express pit stop to change it at.
As the samsh down and drive bys have hit epic porportion. Almost comical how greedy prideful fingers would relish the thought of old fiat here to stay as they bark louder and louder as to. And when the dogs bark louder the intrusion is all the nearer.
It looks great for pride and greed on a WAY overvalued market of slot machine pulls paying out. REALITY knows that this is all a head fake and that the average and beyond avg. investor is about to be cleaned up. Many simply will not accept REALITY. All the hoarding and all the new toys that are relying upon Trick Horse number payouts to keep the pride and greed world running our coming to a end. This is a big problem for the compulsive gamblers that have helped pave this way.
The POST does not wish ill to anybody. At the same time The POST does wonder what the look on the compulsive gamblers face of pride and greed and what the mouth will be uttering as to shortly ahead. Why the wonder is in those thinking that rationality will play out here and all will simply walk away with handshakes and snap the fingers and fix it all.
This is age old change folks that has been being brought up with passion and pride of.
Dismiss what you may but HISTORY has recorded much of what you are and have been SEEING long ago. Currently the following and more charges are on a 2 week impending break as a stay has been asked from further prosecution of until.
The window grows near and the upward escalation of both Gold & Silver will be taking off. During this unstable through out the world will simply come to climatic finish and enter into a new phase.
We are merely the meek that watch the ongoing show.
Then the real chuckler as to China surpasses. The chuckle is it happened years ago already but for the typical who says "who cares" or "I don't have anything to do with that",why that is comical in itself!
April 20,2014 - Did We Just Lose 85,000 U.S. Jobs to Foreign Workers?
And can't find teachers as it states? Try the unemployment office!
Yes it is TooT! TooT!
Gold & Silver and all that glitter.
excerpt - In 1971 the total US federal debt stood at $436 billion.
Now for Fantasy Island to SEE what has become in a earnest sense and snap many of Fantasy Island participants off the island Reality will be there friend. And that Reality will be the wake up call as to being a fiat junkie is and has been a pipe dream.
Yes you will have the scoffers that will defend their pipe dream of easy living fiat times in a compulsive gamblers world taking in all the fiat those prideful greedy little hands can hold. Why leaving Fantasy Island for the BIG majority of these fiat players will be a hardship and one in which they have dazzled themselves into belief of in jones vs jones worlds.
The fiat debt has caused many a ruin to many of places already and is set to escalate that damage from.
Why it is simply amazing!
Sept. 2013 - excerpt / The global derivatives market is big. Really big. So big - and so unregulated - in fact that no one really knows exactly how big it is, but the very best estimates put the notional value at $1.2 quadrillion dollars. That handily beats the entire world's "GDP" of $71.8 trillion. The number is so big that it really defies anything on a human scale. Humans don't do quadrillions of anything - at least not usually.
Not many choices left outside of the sore thumb that sticks out being WW3. And could or would such a thing happen? Well puppets chatter reveals that the US just continues to dominate and that it certainly will be the leader of the world forever. And that my friends is not the case to be.
Oh Gold & Silver will not if reclaim their precious titles in the world and that has very much already been going on. The thought of 5,000 gld and 150 slv in relevance to worth vs fiat holds water however the assumption that such numbers will be reached on the market is not.
However a continuous uptick and gain will continue and we can dismiss the rest of the puppet show as being anything other than prideful greed at the expense of everybody around them as to bloated fiat gains.
Not very hard to imagine just what things would look like heer in town if that Gold standard would have been left in play. But we can assure you it would not resemble anything as it does today in town.
We get a chuckle out of a few puppeteers that have left comment in this thread. and we get a chuckle out of the 900 and lower gold callers and the wxyz who stated the big demise and never above 1100 again. Of course June 2013 records here in the thread a puppet from the squad and their remarks but they shut up quite quickly.
Durring this entire fiascal the pupeteers were never able to answer the BILLION,TRILLION,QUADRILLION question and for good reason did they not (if you reviewed this entry in full).
And that question was just where would things be if not for the creation from thin air and clickity-click DEBT printing.
And they such as the wxyz try very hard to keep brainwashing their own self for preservation of Fantasy Island in their head. It is the only conclusion that could be admirable as those of staue pick and choose and choose 50/50 they most certainly do. By taking REALITY out of the jumbo size mix and applying sugar plums and candy canes dancing in their brains as they sleep,a Fantasy approach.
Dec. 21,2013 - BLOOMBERG: LONDON GOLD VAULTS ARE VIRTUALLY EMPTY, ALL THE GOLD HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO HONG KONG!
Yes the puppeteers that are able but DO NOT pay their debts can easily be found at that old puppet board of 50/50 as Gld closed at 1300.60 yesterday.
The following is from pg. 8 of the pension fund manager told us so as to Gold (Msn Refugee Board) where we were tossed from for bringing REALITY into the BIG picture. Why DISTORTION of the puppeteers is amazing and quite comical on this single page as others keep the puppeteers Fantasy in check such as engleclair and damnotagain.
Well as it has been stated all along that 'short time' is just that in which it is. Durring the course of things it is good to have puppet chatter create noise to distract and defend once again insatable pride and greed.
Following of such brings us to good old bonds we have spoke about. Do recall avid readers we were open last summer to letting the shoppers know that the HUGE loss baking was coming up and that 7 Tril. certainly did occur in the old equities (TooT! TooT!).
No demand for gold we hear from burger boy and dothead at the circus board of market talk. That's some FUNNY stuff! Like a Punch and Judy puppet show on the side!
Nobody is buying and who wants it is all that the puppet circus and others like can come up with or puppet spew.
What makes such nonsense even more FUNNY is if nobody wants it then why all the manipulation of the metals? Don't ask a puppet for that answer!
May 23,2014 - HARVEY ORGAN: BANKING BOYS ARE IN REAL TROUBLE- MASSIVE DERIVATIVES CRISIS LOOMS IN GOLD!
Now if you travel around and view the circus you will SEE the puppet squad of clowns NEVER speaking a word about any of this and that is what we call entertainment!
For MORE on this latest intersection SEE todays POST entry (and the one above that one as debt dollars are simply far out of control and not returning unless of course you follow Fantasy Island).
What? Russia and China don't want any more debt paper. You must be kidding.
Not to far back we brought the GOFO rate into things as it with all due respect needs to be admired for what it stands for. Those reading The POST and this thread that are TRUE metals players will understand with ease and most already do what has been transpirring behind the curtain.
May 29,2014 - PERSISTENTLY NEGATIVE GOFO: THE END OF THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE BULLION BANKING SYSTEM IS NEAR!
As you know, we've been monitoring this since last summer. The trend continues and the effect on price is obvious.
As we begin, let's first review. Remember that negative GOFO essentially means gold in the hand is more valuable than dollars in the hand or, put another way, holders of physical gold are reluctant to offer their gold out for lease in exchange for dollars. This makes negative GOFO a signal of extreme physical tightness, particularly in London and for the standard, 400-ounce, London good delivery bars.
The LBMA publishes historical records of GOFO rates going back to 1989. In reviewing this information, we find that negative GOFO is a very rare occurrence. In fact, of all the market days between January 1989 and July 2013, GOFO was only negative for seven days total. Considering that's about 6,000 days, being negative for just 7 equates to about 0.117% of the time.
So depends on who you are listening to? This way we don't pay to much attention to puppet NEWS broadcasts but we venture.
Recently puppet NEWS broadcasts are staying away from that venture NEWS and instead focus on debt credits continuing to balance things out with no squabbles in the world as to. Puppet NEWS also states that nobody wants GOLD any longer (try telling that to the centrals).
May 13,2014 - Silver Manipulation Hits an Extreme, Most Oversold in 20 Years!
Now if one gives just a tad of thought they would simply ask the question 'if nobody wants it,then why all the manipulation of?
Expect some more scrammbled looking eggs shortly ahead? Wel that certainly is not helping the orders continuing to come in with 'scarce' supplies dwindling of physical.
Why don't we have a 'Open Public Eyes On Audit of Actual Physical' as that is a answer.
Looks like it's best to make it look as though there is plenty of physical (mined) to go around,LOOKS.
That's odd? Yet another same time same bat channel take down on the metals. Not at all during these times.
-Frankfurt will become the new financial hub for all of Europe and Asia!
Well that is part of the details with more to be found at the link. No wonder the puppets don't want people reading from the Metal NEWS as it sends Fantasy Island into a turmoil.
Now still not believing? Might be a good day to start!
And the bombers 50 miles off the coastline of Ca. That makes total sense hey. After all that defense system of the old US would be doing some real good. For the ignorant please do answer just why the US would allow such to be in the air space of the US. What? Did not see them coming?
This is a BIG king affair underway.
We have left some spots as to where some great REALITY NEWS comes out of. We have followed them for years and thus far have been proven pretty accurate. When you combine those with a tad of natural thought and leave out the 50/50 you certainly do have to wonder just why they would have puppets rageing about 700-900 gold and 6 dollar silver.
Our educated guess is in part by Virgil from a couple of years back that puppet bark is due to the puppets having holdings in DEBT that they keep calling gains. You can not have TRUE GAIN until you eliminate DEBT.
So if you are counting on DEBT CREDITS to lead your life you certainly have nothing but EXTENDED CREDIT from DEBT. Fantasy Island does this quite a bit when speaking of so called gains.
Someone or something brought half a billion dollars of Gold futures this morning.Sooner or later the game finishes,whoever blinks first gets out with something,whoever is left holding the pile of worthless debt when the music stops looses everything.The east get the physical real deal and the west gets the worthless paper debt.I just keep stackin real physical wealth.
Oh and Argentina is going bust,refusing any help (further unpayable debt) and could well set off the derivatives time bomb.Hope the sun is shining wherever you are,lovely sunny day in Manchester,England.
Half a Billion Dollars on demand when the Banks have no Gold.Is another MF Global due ?
Now as far as the masive buy ups that others have scooped up out of town and China as a prime example,why certainly NOBODY is going to be buying up and ordering physical in such fashion unless there is a pay day at the end in the old Gold & Silver. And the manipulation is a gimmee known before they even started on the quest of.
Meaning the only thing you will SEE in which you have is the manipulation of until it simply can no longer be manipulated. And when does that happen? Well if you are paying attention to world DEBT and the fast and furious incoming that has gotten hotter and hotter you most certainly don't have long to go before all hell breaks loose.
excerpt - Lastly, all those who believe OIL SHALE in the western part of the U.S. with a supposed resource of over 1 trillion barrels is going to save us… think again. Oil shale with an EROI of 1.5-2/1 doesn't pay the ENERGY BILLS… however, it's a nice joke to share among oil geologists and engineers.
How could you have a MAIN falter screw up as such?
And another FUNNY is puppet spew starring at a few circus houses in 'Gold and Silver Crashes "FTI" Told us so!" why the peanut riddled comments from puppet spew is pretty darn FUNNY and damnotagain known as jarhead1976 this way did a god thing by leaving puppet spew at the circus. It's a good thing that fti told us so hey jarhead! Afterall we should all be listening to those pension fund managers that have sold countless US employees pensions,401k's for starters off to Capitol Controls as the investor of is the one caught on the hook for payback of. And fund managers they will be paid whether they win or lose the clients cake. We wonder when in these top firms if such knew of the upcoming consequences? Of course they did.
GOLD & SILVER Going Higher! WAY Higher! TooT! TooT!
'This is how I see it.
I wrote "Mission 'un' accomplished" yesterday and talked about how Iraq has not been put to bed and in fact has become an even bigger problem than it has been. Whether officially admitted or not, Iraq's oil was the reason we were there in the first place. It was viewed as a source that we could both control and profit from. Unfortunately, this will most likely destabilize the entire region and create a brand new and much higher price range for oil. This is happening at a very bad time both economically and financially. The world's economy is slowing demonstrably and the financial system is showing cracks, higher oil prices will only exacerbate the weaknesses.
The world has existed on the words "trust me". The world has followed what the U.S. ordered for many many years whether they liked it or not. After 1971 we were able to turn the worlds' eyes away from our gold reserves by creating the artificial demand of the petrodollar. Now, oil is on the verge of trading and settling in many different currencies and the demand for dollars is about to dry up. This situation alone has been reason for the U.S. to go to war or depose rulers in the past. Now we have a situation where many nations all at once will shun the dollar, were Saudi Arabia to do this publicly I believe the dollar will drop 5-10% in purchasing power within a week's time. They are probably already accepting non dollars privately.
This is how I see it. We are headed toward a global "shooting war". WWIII in my opinion had already started and has been waged through the financial, technological and political markets. The financial markets have been held together by derivatives to show a placid picture, vanished collateral will upset the order further.
Because the "old world order" seems to be collapsing, a new world order will arise. There is no telling how this may shake out and who the ultimate partnership may be. We look now and see Russia and China partnering and isolating the U.S.. The question remains, who is going to stand with the U.S.? Saudi Arabia and their oil? Europe who needs and receives energy from Russia (which is in the process of not arriving)?
South American countries that have had the screws put to them by Wall St. for over 50 years? African nations whom we have ignored (while China has courted them)? I am not even sure that we could count Israel in our corner the way we have treated them over the last 5 years. Who? Who will stand with the U.S. while the new "teams" are being chosen?
I am truly fearful that lunatics who have been running the show finally realize that "the show is over". I am afraid that triggers will be pulled and used as "blame". Blame (cover) for an economy and financial system that is imploding behind the scenes. I am afraid that the powers that be will try to "cover" the reality that the Ponzi scheme is ending and will point to war as the reason ...it all went south.
Unfortunately, we have arrived at a point where the reality of bankruptcy is now about to be revealed by the lack of collateral. We are about to find out how fraudulent the world is and has been for at least 10 (maybe 101 since 1913) years. The danger is that those who committed the fraud decide to kick the table over in desperation. As the saying goes, desperate people do desperate things, the problem now is that Russia and China know this. I hope that Mr. Roberts is wrong but I am afraid that he is not.
Let the dance begin , gold looks to be taking a big step out . I see the market is up ( all time highs) on the news that GDP expectations have been lowered for 2014.
Like shooting rabbits in a barrel , makes no sense at all. Take the money do something good with it.
Say the fish have gone deep at the lakes as that water is a crisp warm end of July water. And to think that it is only June yet. But I have a lock on a few good old spots where the pearch are at. How about you way?
And boy oh boy jarhead the stories of 50/50 should really REALLY get going now!
excerpt - Today's action was something to behold. I have pointed out to you on several occasions that 1300 dollar gold was a line in the sand as was $20.00 silver. With one hour to go before comex closing, gold was trading right at the 1300 dollar level with huge shorting volume from the bankers trying to prevent the dyke from leaking. The demand for paper gold was just too much and the explosion northbound in price was a sight for sorry eyes. The bankers then tried in vain to cover their massive shortfall but that to failed and gold ended the day at $1322.00 (access closing) and silver at $20.83. The huge physical demand for gold coming from Russia, India and China plus new paper gold longs was just too much for our bankers to handle. Watch for some derivative melt ups in the gold/silver arena tomorrow!!
excerpt - Argentina is now facing a crisis as it cannot pay bond holders of old bonds as well as paying 100% to the winning side of a lawsuit brought on by Bill Singer of Elliott Capital and Aurelius capital. Argentina wants to exchange the London based bonds into local Argentinian bonds so they can pay these bonds and not the hold- out bonds. However late yesterday, a USA judged ruled that if they did this they would be in contempt of court. Credit default swaps increased in price due to the added risk of default. This was one of the reasons why gold skyrocketed today as Argentina stated that they cannot pay both sets of bonds.
The other big story, is the Ukrainian crisis whereby today, Ukraine held talks to restructure their debt. Those words caused our 5 big underwriter banks for credit default swaps on Ukraine to suffer a massive coronary!! To get two countries, Argentina and Ukraine both talking about debt restructuring is enough to blow up the global derivative game.
Russia initiated its own sanctions by banning USA consultants and it looks like Russia may stop gas from entering the EU.
We have a great article where Putin's aide, Glazyev proposed an "anti dollar alliance" to kill the USA dollar. It sure looks that Putin followed his advise to the "T". Bill Holter and zero hedge comment on this development.
We have an interesting Bloomberg story where we have a ship containing Kurdish oil floating on the Mediterranean . The Americans have warned the globe not to purchase this oil as it "belongs to Iraq". The Kurds wants autonomy over the Kurdistan region of Iraq and control over their oil fields. If the Kurds sell this oil then Iraqi revenue will plummet sending this country into financial chaos.
Looking at those participants (that there seems to be a lack of),don't know about going about WW3 when the out a towners certainly do seem to be pooling or pileing together behind the scenes. And I could never figure out why some people would think that because out a towners slowed down those gld purchases was because it was worthless. If you kept a ordering something however your payment was going in faster than the deliveries could be made and then things got behind. Would you setle for your cake back with of course a devaluation first of it due to price flucuation while you were waiting for what you already paid for?
So when the hammer comes down as it did with the purchase this morning,and the DEBTS are being called,you raise the anty.
Now if ya think back just a bit over atKeisers he was talking about the top of the hill getting cramped and some players would be losing a bit shall we say.
This is all headed yet in the same direction and I certainly don't believe any can kicking down the road while the world around watches continues in the fashion as it has gone.
Say jarhead looks like there has been no puppet spew in that lonely place called 'Gold & Silver Crashes fti told us so". But then again we look at it as GREAT comedy from those darn misleading puppets. And I never did trust anybody that was taking my nest egg and selling it out for collection of at a later date knowing the dirt weight it carries. Wonder how many folks actually question the old pension gurus like the fti for instance as certainly they knew that they were selling out. If they did not know then they should have never been in the profession as they simply have not the brain to be,a honest brain that is.
Yes that old garrbage thread based on puppet thoughts of Fantasy Island living has lost its action of comedy. Why even usa agrees with the banker of just under 1100 (on May 30,2014 that is). And the hamburger helper with the ponzi grin added $300.00! And the q ball at where did you go damnotagain (jarhead1976).
Sad that there has to be those that have been puppetized (new word) and goes as far as to say when they find out how wrong they were they take off and our never heard from again. sounds like some information they have heard before from others telling them how wrong they would be and then they will split.
Why we are here due to puppet crying chatter to ringleaders of such puppets. Why if you are a puppet and cry enough about to much TRUTH being brought to the scene best thing to do is get rid of the TRUTH and then ask where did it go.
Say Bruce do they have a food recipie you are not sharing for natural gas? Those frackers take millions of gallons of water for just one running (The POST just had a GREAT look at the frackers as of recent). Or do you have a alternative to fresh drinking water from the ground or do you like yours ridden with chemicals?
But we won't hear from the puppet squad of prideful greed (unless they show up say as the management) as they did calling such talk distasteful.
Say wonder if the burgerking with all the misled puppet chatter spewed is really actually banking on that petro DEBT NOTE? After all they keep on a stating how God has blessed it. But we know that God does not blessand help destruction along as that does its own thing all on its own and if there is no HONESTY to stop it,why it just keeps on a going until consequences from arise.
What one preaches and calls god is just the opposite of the HONEST and TRUTHFUL,LOVING God that The POST follows avidly with and walks with.
Well your special drawing rights are designed for use and designed by those that have set the table prior to introduction of (boy that goes back a long ways) and we hope to SEE a burgerking reply or some puppet reply in regards to all the quick draw happenings behind the curtain over the past 60 days as things are in full tilt and the comedy is a GREAT reliever.
And is this bashing puppets? No this is simply trying to wake the little Rip Van Winkles up and SEE them change their stubborn ways of prideful greed and misleading others all for. To this very day the so called puppets are unable to discuss much less present the majors and insist on the misleaders instead.
More than 18 months ago, on January 16, 2013 Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, announced that it will repatriate to Germany all 374 tonnes it had stored with the Banque de France in Paris, as well as 300 tonnes held in Manhattan by the New York Federal Reserve, by 2020.
A paltry 5 tonnes of that came from the U.S., the rest from Paris. The US Fed holds 45% or roughly $635 billion of the total 3,396 tonnes of gold Germany have in reserve, the world's second largest gold reserves.
This has prompted, not surprisingly, renewed questions whether Germany's gold still exists in those Manhattan vaults or if it has been melted down, leased or even sold.
With doubts about the whereabouts of Germany's gold still prevalent, it appears that either Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling coalition or the ECB, has decided to attempt to put the matter to rest.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that the German campaign to repatriate German gold from the U.S. has ended. The Bloomberg story was headlined 'German Gold Stays in New York in Rebuff to Euro Doubters' and the first sentence was 'Germany has decided its gold is safe in American hands'.
a) Bloomberg uncritically cites statements of politicians and BuBa-bankers who have or give no proof whatsoever re the untouched whereabouts of the German Gold.
b) Re our campaign "Repatriate our Gold" "On hold" does of course NOT mean that we are in any way satisfied with the current status of BuBa´s ongoing repatriation (far too slow and too little - only 5 tons came from NY in 2013! Not exactly a proof for the untouched existence of 1500 tons in a NY vault unaudited since 1950...). Our public campaign will therefore have to continue.
c) Almost no info in the article can be considered in any way "news". Simply because there has not been any material news in this context since early 2013.
d) Especially the headline is plainly false, because there has not been any change in BuBa´s (too slow) repatriation plans: at least 300+ tonnes will come from NY by end 2020. It is not much - but contrary to the headline, BuBa has NOT stopped the ongoing partial repatriation - enforced solely by public pressure!
e) The political party "Alternative for Germany" has never been part of our campaign - they can therefore not have been "rebuffed" as the article suggests.
f) The political party "FDP" has (with the exception of one (1) MP ) never demanded a repatriation - yet another false info in the article.
Summary: a "non-news" article with a wrong headline, strange interviewees, old news, and with a clearly apologetic ideological approach: the main purpose seems to be NOT to give space to the myriad of unanswered and extremely relevant questions BuBa and the Fed have been refusing to answer for decades. Please read more at "Repatriate our Gold."
The Bundesbank's move to repatriate 674 tonnes of the German gold reserves from Paris and New York to Frankfurt in January 2013 was a victory for openness, transparency and for those who have campaigned for transparency in the gold market for years.
The move by the Bundesbank to be more transparent about the location of gold reserves was welcomed by many market participants as most believe that central banks should have to disclose simple facts about their gold reserves – such as their quantity, where they are held, whether they have been lent or swapped, and so forth.
The fact that the Bundesbank had been nudged into new-found transparency was a victory for the groups of investors – most prominent among them, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee or GATA – that have for years been asking central banks to reveal their holdings and activities in the gold market.
Those who have dismissed the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee or GATA as "conspiracy theorists" have yet to acknowledge or refute the voluminous documentation and evidence that GATA have amassed over the years.
GATA have long made a strong case that certain banks may have been manipulating gold and silver prices lower. In the same way that banks have been proven to conspire in rigging LIBOR, interest rates and foreign exchange markets.
The campaign to achieve a free market in gold and silver prices will continue.
OPPS! That's right! We were told not to follow those gld & slv sites as they don't know what they are talking about and just trying to sell you some metals. Really? Wonder why puppet central would make such a statement......HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! that's right! The statement is made for pure ENTERTAINMENT VALUE! And puppets certainly have been more than entertaining!
Why today you can say that you are not a puppet and smarter than a professor puppet!
So now you can still wonder about the puppet tales or you can simply pay attention to REALITY.
GOLD & SILVER Going WAY Higher! TooT! TooT!
excerpt - Following Monday's $1.3 billion paper gold dump on the COMEX open, the cartel has hit gold and silver again Tuesday, and has finally succeeded (for now) in driving spot gold back under the critical $1300 level- but it took twice the amount of paper used yesterday, as an astonishing $2.3 BILLION in gold futures were just dumped on the market.
What if the U.S. put all its trash in one giant landfill?
Yes it is TRUE! Gold & Silver Going Higher! WAY Higher! TooT! TooT!
Yes time nears and TRUE it will be. TRADE VALUE will be the hot topic (providing they leave the web running that is!).
Washington, DC – Today Commissioner Scott D. O'Malia sent the attached letter to President Barack Obama announcing his resignation from the Commission effective August 8, 2014.
June 30,2014 - Why is this (following memo) not front page news on Alternative Media sites?
The fractional reserve fiat currencies issued by central banks comprising the "network of global corporate control" described by Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder, and Stefano Battiston of ETH Zurich, http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf are to be replaced by gold coins, gold leaf, and aurum1, denominated in each of the world's currencies.
Similar letters are being sent to other countries, with a target for signature of Monetary Agreements in Tokyo at the end of July. Please let me know the contact person for Antigua.
We would like to conclude the Monetary Agreements on the same closing date if this is feasible. It will also be possible to arrange for signature in counterpart.
Yes it is TRUE that puppets can not control lost sheep when those pesky pop up sites (as the puppets call them) keep on a bringing home the bacon. We do thank silverdoctors and their contributors for keeping up to speed.
And OPPS! that's right! 50/50 has it as nobody want's it or is buying it?
It's apparent that cheering on debt gain and calling it making sound money could not be ever more 'disconnected' then one could get.
Gold & Silver Going Higher! WAY Higher!!!!
7 trillion dollars in new debt?
Why tell a jarret boxed puppet as the trio they have going at one circus is really entertaining! Sure hope there 3 year old call of Gold going to 50.00 a oz. and Silver down to 2.00 keeps a spewing out of them as it makes a Metals player laugh and laugh and laugh at the boxed puppet stage lines.
Maybe what is even more fun is the puppet trio call of 3 years ago as to the DEBT will be paid down in no time and Metals players will SEE just that!
Say Metal players have you seen that happen?
Now as far as puppet theatre goes and WHAT A CALL by the puppets! As WRONG once again (and they knew that as they are just puppets with nothing to say or add unless their string puller has them do so) the little pinocchio's would be. Easy to watch a trick horse number and claim validity as to. But convincing the unlost of that number is a impossibility.
Why they are talking about TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS in orchestrated clickity-click that will simply be paid back to cover the ongoing credit chip DEBT in which they TRULY believed that they have gained.
Why the puppet hour need not sell Brooklyn bridges as they will be trying to peddle those 50 year sure bet bonds! Simply unbelievable and most comical are they!
Keep up the entertainment puppets as it is TRULY hilarious!
Yes it is comical if you allow it to be!
You have a fund manager that has raped and pilferred away everybody with a smile on their face while doing so. And other muppets that support that in full by calling the casino a honest place with tons of gains.
Yet we still have a BIG problem for the muppets and the string pullers of.
Why they are yet (after the past few years of asking the puppets) where things would stand right now today if it had not been for all of their clickity-click and DEBT DEBT DEBT creation. This is how you know if the party who are talking to or not is pupetized. All you have to do is simply ask them the hard line questions as presented in yesterdays Post. Why they certainly do not like those numbers being spilled about as to who has bought up their own stock in ferocious form in order to hold the casino.
Yes durring this whole deal of clickity-click puppets just have not been able to defend any of these things (above for starters) as simply not true. But they are good at telling you to stick to the main and keep on believing the numbers by.
It didn't take 4 .5 trillion dollars in stimulus money either.
Well jarhead it is good that there is puppets or we would not be able to LAUGH at them. As puppets are GREAT COMEDY!
Yes Punch and Judy puppets and frank puppets along with the rest of the puppets are all very funny! The string puller of them feeds a line and that is funny stuff!
Thanks puppet frank for the laughs!!!!
Virtual creation from thin air with that ratio standing at 97% virtual and the puppets so called cash in the till at 3% which translates to Fantasy Island living or. So the Fed is actually going to allow the centrals and others to start taking HUGE loses?
Or would the fed simply continue the slow bleed out with SUPER MILKER performing daily? As allowing the housing market (that is in deep doo-doo) to crush what is left would not be as important as the casino going higher and centrals and others to lose their chips.
Behind the scenes as the old tale goes as looked at others are on a mission to revamp their holdings into a more suitable structure if you will away from the credit paper chip dollar.
So dumping saving holding for?
Well a good transition from the old to the new has been a epic maker and a historical if you will.
Aug. 19,2014 - Are Capital Inflows Propping Up U.S. Markets?
Yes while the muppets speak DETOUR head strong we keep in tune that of such players as jarhead and their comment above. As while the gains at the casino have been donew in 'credit' or 'virtual' the gains of precious metals simply can be masked however hold true before that mask was applied.
We are witnessing huge number of tonnes arriving in Shanghai (and exiting = demand). This week 33 tonnes left the SGE vaults. The gold that enters China has its origins at the Bank of England and/or the GLD vaults. The custodians of the GLD must find the gold to replace any gold departing plus the new "paper " demand from new shareholders. In my opinion the physical gold at the GLD, belonging to shareholders is just not there. They probably have ownership of some paper obligations. Should be interesting when this thing blows up.
I suppose a muppet tale will come out like 'China now involved in two wars,the Middle East and Russia' now that is FUNNY!
Say! Here is a idea!
How about we manipulate the hell out of the gld & slv and that will show the vast that the debt credit petro chip is the way and those darn metals have nothing on it! That will help with the string puller line to feed the puppets to blah blah about. We can hold the casino by virtual credit and worse case scenario for the common folks is that it crashes buyt on the other hand we will increase our 'gold certificate' holdings and 'bond' buy ups as according to the rules these will always be good for trade!
Of course there is a whole lot more to that story but touching lightly can show the devastating effects that will be coming in as preperation for has been quite underway for quite sometime.
We hate to bring in old kitco but ya have to pay attention to it all and sort it out. Even if that means kitco sourced.
Something about Sept. 8th 2014 keeps reminding to buy more PHYSICAL prior to.
Can't help to read from the great comedy jarhead!
SEE that is all you had to do is ask where things would be at to the circus puppets and you would strike GOLD!
frank pretending to be jarrett and sun as usual coming to the aid by name calling.
And mmhmm calling the shots? Say mmhmm you are FUNNY! And thank you for the sincere laughs you give. Why we SEE you are allowing EXACTLY what you helped to have the Decoy 409 removed from the circus forum for. And just to let you know The POST was aware of you and your actions long before you even entered to give The POST warning of being banned from the circus.
SEE circus supporters are simply nothing more than supporters of the corrupt and these actions performed daily at the circus of financials by the various puppets are simply allowed as to 'blind side TRUTH'.
Say sun calling people and their family members chimps and frank with the jarret wash are really entertaining. And The POST was fully aware of the old pension fund manager and the quest to fart in hot tubs at circus boards being allowed although the manager was supposed BANNED from such circus.
Don't get mad sun for having somebody ask just where things would be right now if it had not been for all of the clickity-click (that continues 7 TRILLION MORE ADDED over the past months) in DEBT over the past several years to hold the circus show up.
And don't get mad for presenting the 'Tale of the Tape' and all of the cake by companies put out in buying their own stock (just for the year so far is astounding) to hold up the S&P and Nasdaq you are cheering on as though there was TRUTH spoke as to why. And this is how to help the ants cross the town with their so called 401k and other? Burn up what they have put in to hold up what they are planning on down the road. What? Did it take a genius and others to come up and hold such a show? Of course not. One thinker and plenty of pawns is all.
Simply face up to the reality of what and where things would be right now for the wife and kids and grandchildren and friends if the VIRTUAL UNPAYABLE had not been added so DETOUR and PRIDEFUL GREED by so many could continue. Supposed to be a smart cookie yet call unpayable DEBT sound money in casino chip gains. Then get mad about having to look in the mirror look at yourself and HONESTLY answer that.
Yes it is all quite comical that club and misrepresentation in order to collect DEBT and call it positive gain. Prideful Greed by the merry band club exampled has never been easier to read and the daily laughs of the circus.
Apparently after the sell out career and losses beyond imaginable golden parachutes promised will be simply handed to those that have helped pave the way for?
Not exactly as pawns are pawns and have already received their pay for being just such as there is and always has been just so much room on top of the hill and pawns are simply not going there.
But GOLD & SILVER are going somewhere and that somewhere is only a few weeks away now.
Some are still trying to express that the gld and slv bought at high levels will simply be wrote as a loss. That's pretty FUNNY!
Why tell small fish such? Best trying to tell the BIG Dogs that tale as it is a comical projection that would certainly be enjoyed by such.
Mergers all over the place.
Why some have been in the making for a long time.
We reflect on a simple article out of one of those 'Danger Zones' for puppets. A danger zone as puppets can not respond in a 'Danger Zone' but they certainly can operate all around one with their own falsified string puller looks and remarks as to.
Now given the statistics that are readily available yes TooT! TooT! is very much alive and on schedule.
Astonishing population growth projected numbers and with that growth most certainly 'more' room will be needed to raise such a number of folks. Of course this way in the US population by 2035 is expected to reach a astronomical number of somewhere in the 450 million plus.
Of course you will not find these figures as they are burried in the Trick Horse numbers. And trick horse they are (pg.21 [PDF]U.S. Population Projections: 2012 to 2060). The US already stands at about 340 million which includes the open border traffic and most are aware of what that consists of.
Transition is often at times not fun but a learning process.
You will SEE the transition but most will never SEE it until it just simply can not be denied although it has been looking them down for a long long time.
If we need to look to transition that is and has been a main with The POST. So the puppet or naysayer can simply continue on with rubbish and fantasy Island look as Real however these folks choose to keep their self fooled and wish to call the fooling Reality but it will do them no good. Their mission is to not only fool their self but to make their self feel better if they can keep others in the same Fantasy Realm in order to justify their 'now' Debt Gains from such.
Yes no matter how you care to twist and turn it for the look the look does given by doing such does not matter. It is what is and that is Debt to Gdp growth. And if you are a betting person you understand odds. The odds to make that so called Debt Profit turn into solid and TRUE profit (not Debt Profit) our and became astronomical in order to do.
So the blind will continue to lead the blind and they will always be saying "but it spends".
Yes it does spend that Debt Profit. And Debt Profit spends best in a Fantasy Island created illusion.
Think of it this way. If you indict one I imagine that clip from the other day then you would have 7 more to do the same thing to. And if you do that then answer will have to be given to the past 2 years alone by so many cross the town as looked at. Good thing for limitation on the news being out cross the town over so many things that past 3 years or 'short time' that is. News this way and the special have it that the build up of excess gear just started this year. That's the puppetville local at 5.
Chess,Monopoly,Dominoes three games played for so long all at once. Those reading should be able to decipher given yesterdays look to the art section.
Guess we will SEE 'shortly' ahead.
excerpt - A small number of protesters attacked squad cars, tossed molotov cocktails at officers and, in a few cases, shot guns in the direction of police, who responded with tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets. On many nights, dozens were arrested.
Transforming right before your eyes yet so many not seek TRUTH and instead 50/50. And in turn you have what you have and continues onward until 'change' arrives.
Read-Watch-Listen-Ask and form your own opinion/conclusion.
Gold & Silver Going Higher!
"I just bought 125 oz of Silver Rounds But not as an investment but more as Security."
So they invested in security. Like we said they can twist and turn it all they like!
At the Circus they have the string pullers BUSY!
SEE the EXACT same scenario unfolds while string pullers have puppets to do as the Cbo report suggested STRONGLY. And that was as we all know by now to hold the markets at all costs.
Sadly many have simply tossed that line as having no bearing to anything. That was always pretty FUNNY the dismissal of such.
Why you could say the best is yet to come for those long term pawn investors. And there certainly is a abundance of them.
We certainly hope that the line holds out as we will be hearing the belly ache stories from many in devaluation land. (That's a place right along side of and part of Fantasy Island).
Unfortunate US Movie Reviews are coming in soon and the flop is already in.


Question: I've Lost My Passion to Paint, Any Ideas?
Several thoughts occur to me, relating to the damage done the rave reviews you got for this early painting and about the cost of art supplies. But first, was Art and Fear amongst the books you've been reading?
I think this little book is unbeatable in addressing the fears and self-doubts that arise in the creation of paintings. My copy is full of underlined passages, and I dip into it regularly to remind myself. Here's a sample quote, from page five: "The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars."
Having accepted other people's judgment of your fourth painting as the standard to which you should aspire, you're trying to recreate that painting every time you start a new one. That's destined for failure as you're not giving yourself creative space but setting parameters before you've started.
The joy of painting comes from the act of creation far more than the finished product. And you have to give yourself permission to risk failure and to learn/explore during the process. Read the article Dancing a Painting for a fuller explanation of this.
Worrying about wasting art supplies is extremely inhibiting because every time you squeeze a bit out of a tube you're thinking about how much it costs. You hesitate to rework or scraping off a section even when you know it's flawed because it feels like a waste. The worry saps your enjoyment.
There's no doubt that decent oil paints and canvas aren't cheap, so keep an eye out at your local art supplies store for any special deals or sale and have a little bit of money put to one side for when this happens. If an online store offers special deals or free delivery for bulk orders, see if you can't find some friends or an art society to do a combined order.
Save paint by working on smaller canvases rather than big ones. Save on the expense of canvas by painting on cardboard or scrap bits of wood that you prime yourself. Learn to stretch your own canvases (but check the cost of stretchers, staples, canvas, and primer don't come to more than buying ready-made canvases). You can even make your own stretchers if you've some basic woodworking skills (or know someone who does).
Limit the number of colors you use, don't be seduced into buying dozens. You'll get to know the properties of each individual color really well and what it'll do when mixed with the others.
To get the joy of painting just for the sake of painting back again without the worry of the cost of the art supplies you're using, buy a small set of watercolor paints and a water brush for playing and sketching. I know painting with watercolor is totally different to painting with oils, but many famous painters also used watercolors, including Turner.There is an initial cost, but watercolor paint goes a long way and you can sketch on any piece of paper, including junk mail envelopes.
Step back from the pressure of what you've already done. Give yourself permission to not paint "finished paintings" or "good art", to not paint "the whole subject", and to not show anyone else what you've done or working on unless you wish to share.
Instead of tackling a whole landscape painting, paint just a bit such as a tree, branch, or texture of the bark. Spend time observing the colors, the shadows and highlights. Paint little swatches of the paints you'd use to mix up the colors in the landscape. Seek enjoyment in observing nature, in noticing the details, the changing in the shifting light. The things that attract you to the landscape in the first place. Write notes, make little drawings, stick in leaves and flowers ... anything and everything that means you're spending time observing, not just taking an instant snapshot.
Setting what you aim to achieve on your creative journey by only your fourth painting means you've gotten off the ride at a very early stop. Take joy in knowing that you can and have painted something you were very satisfied with (as were others). Now see what else you might do when you're not focusing on the end result.


Three shipbuilding teams have been shortlisted for the competition to build the five frigates for £1.25 billion.
A Defence Minister has told Forces News he is "confident" that the first Type 31e warship will be in the water by 2023, but stated no decision has been made on where the vessels will be based.
Stuart Andrew was speaking as three shipbuilding teams, led by BAE Systems, Babcock and Atlas Elektronik UK, have been shortlisted for the competition to build the five frigates for £1.25 billion.
He was speaking in Portsmouth as HMS Queen Elizabeth returned to the UK after four months in the United States.
Each group will be awarded a contract worth up to £5 million to fund the next stage of their plans, with the preferred bidder for the design and manufacture of the ships due to be announced by the end of next year.
"We're trying a different type of procurement - let's not forgot that this is the first time in a generation we've run a competition for new frigates that we're going to need for the Royal Navy.
"What we've got today are three bidders who have shown that they are interested in taking part in the competition and now they will go into the detailed design phase so that we can then pick the ultimate winner who will eventually construct and build those ships that we need.
"We have set 2023 as the year that we want the first ship in the water.
"We've got three bids that have come forward so I feel very confident that they can do it."
On basing, Mr Andrew said: "That is a decision we have yet to make. I recognise that Portsmouth is an important base for the Royal Navy and I am sure it will be a contender."
The awarding of the contracts is the latest step in the National Shipbuilding Strategy, which was launched in September 2017.
Production of the Type 31e vessel is expected to begin within three years of the programmes' launch.
The ships will make up the next generation of the Royal Navy, along with eight Type 26 warships which will start being delivered from the mid-2020s.
The names of all eight Type 26 frigates have now been announced, and the Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has also outlined that they will be homed in Devonport.
The decision on where the Type 31e frigates will be based is still to be made.


A new analysis of climate records in England and Europe's Low Countries suggests that the disease-causing bacterium persisted in rodents between recurrences in people.
Researchers of the bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, have long debated why the disease broke out repeatedly in medieval Europe: Did traders from elsewhere bring the dreaded pestilence back with them from other infected areas, thus sparking new epidemics? Or was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, now known to cause the plague, present but for some reason inactive during the 5 to 12 years that typically passed between outbreaks?
Now a researcher has found a pattern of recurrence by looking at ancient records of the Black Death and climatic conditions in what today is an eastern region of England called East Anglia. "It looks like, after a run of 1, 2, or 3 years of relatively average or slightly cool summers, once there is a jump to warm and dry weather, there is a large likelihood" of a plague epidemic, said Kathleen Pribyl of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, U.K., last month during the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna, Austria. Her findings suggest that the bacterium lingered silently in rodents during periods between plague flare-ups, only to threaten humans again when the rodent population exploded.
Pribyl made a reconstruction of the English climate between 1256 and 1431.
A climate historian, Pribyl made a reconstruction of the English climate between 1256 and 1431 using indirect evidence, for example, the date of the start of the grain harvest. She wondered if she might discover in these data the influences that triggered plague epidemics or quelled them. She realized that she needed to extend her climate record to the end of the 15th century, when public health measures such as quarantining were introduced, which confined outbreaks and lowered their impact.
Pribyl found the data she needed in the work of a Dutch independent climate historian, Jan Buisman, who has been compiling reports on weather phenomena and climate in the Low Countries, the coastal region nowadays mostly occupied by the Netherlands and Belgium. This area, lying only 200 kilometers to the east of East Anglia across a stretch of the North Sea, was close enough for its weather records to be suitable to supplement the English data, Pribyl told Eos. Buisman's records date from as early as 764 CE.
If a warm summer followed a normal one, then a plague outbreak was much more likely.
With a sufficiently long temperature record thus established and with data on rainfall readily available via tree ring sequences, Pribyl could characterize each year: Was the winter cold or not? Was the summer cool, warm, dry, wet? At first, just like researchers before her, she saw no particular circumstances that would coincide with a plague outbreak. But that changed when she grouped summers not by their temperature, but by the difference in average temperature from the preceding summer. If a warm summer followed a normal one, then a plague outbreak was much more likely, she found.
This pattern, according to Pribyl, shows that it was not repeated arrivals from outside England that made the plague return again and again, but the waxing and waning of the population of some host animal. Knowing the preference of Yersinia pestis, it was likely a rodent, she explained.
Other signs from climate data also point to rodents as the reservoir. A slightly cold winter seems to have helped the plague: More snow would have insulated and hid the voles' burrows. But outbreaks almost never occurred after a very cold winter, which would have killed a lot of voles, or a very mild one, when abundant rain would have flooded many burrows.
In an earlier study, Boris Schmid, an evolutionary biologist of the University of Oslo, Norway, and his colleagues analyzed a data set of 7711 plague outbreaks all over Europe and compared them to precipitation records from tree ring samples from Europe and Asia. Weather conditions that might have caused rodent numbers to spike, they reported, generally did not coincide with outbreaks. They concluded that most outbreaks of the plague must have been caused by renewed introduction of Yersinia pestis from Asia, brought into Europe by rats on merchant ships.
Pribyl, however, questions that research team's analysis. "They looked at climate fluctuations for the whole of Europe and expected to find one kind of pattern. But that's actually quite unlikely. With my data, I could look at just one region," she noted.
Hendrik Poinar, an evolutionary biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, who did not participate in Pribyl's study, told Eos that he found Pribyl's conclusion that the plague did not enter Europe again and again but resided in a rodent reservoir "convincing and interesting." Poinar took part in an investigation of the genome of a strain of Yersinia pestis that was found in Marseille, France, in the teeth of buried victims of one of the last outbreaks in Europe, in 1722. Last year, his group reported that this strain had descended from bacteria identified in 14th century victims in London. So genetics, too, points at the plague emerging repeatedly from a reservoir in or near Europe, Poinar said.
Could the source of the repeated English outbreaks have been in England itself, and could the field voles that Pribyl suspects indeed have been the reservoir? It's quite possible, Poinar said. "All these small, human-associated rodents could be important. All these should be tested. If she has samples, we'd be happy to test them!" he declared.

Simon Birmingham to become finance minister and Senate leader as Australia nominates Cormann for OECD
Published: October 7, 2020 10.10pm EDT
Michelle Grattan, University of Canberra
Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra
Michelle Grattan does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.
University of Canberra provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU.
Trade Minister Simon Birmingham, a leader of the Liberal moderates, will become Senate leader and finance minister following the imminent retirement of Mathias Cormann.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Australia will nominate Cormann as its candidate for secretary general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Read more: Politics with Michelle Grattan: a budget for a pandemic
Cormann indicated in July he planned to leave parliament late this year. He has been Finance Minister throughout the Coalition government and a central figure in the preparation of its seven budgets.
Morrison said Birmingham would be sworn in as finance minister at the end of the month when Cormann retired. He would continue as minister for trade, tourism and investment.
"I am not planning on making other ministerial changes at that time," Morrison said.
But there will be a reshuffle at the end of the year. With the current COVID-19 restrictions on international travel, Birmingham will be able to juggle his trade and extra responsibilities for a time, and he has trade negotiations in train.
Employment Minister Michaelia Cash will become deputy Senate leader, a position Birmingham has held since 2018.
Birmingham has served in the Senate since 2007 and was education minister between 2015 and 2018.
Cormann, who came to Australia from Belgium in the 1990s, demonstrated his multilingual skills at a Thursday news conference with Morrison, giving short speeches in French and German.
His election to the OECD job is not certain, but Australia will campaign hard for him.
Morrison said this was "the most important Australian nomination for a major international body in decades".
"Senator Cormann has already been an influential contributor in regional and global institutions, having attended every G20 Leaders' meeting since 2014 and numerous G20 finance ministers, IMF and World Bank meetings over the period," Morrison said.
"Over the last seven years, Senator Cormann has worked with many OECD leaders, and dozens of treasury, finance, and trade minister counterparts from developed and developing countries."
Cormann will step down from the ministry and the Senate on October 30, before he is formally nominated for the OECD role. Nominations close at the end of October, with interviews and consultations beginning after that and an outcome expected in the first part of next year.

Massive lava dome lurks underneath Japan's Ōsumi Islands
Mon, 12 Feb 2018 18:24 UTC
© Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department/Japan Coast Guard)
An ancient underwater volcano responsible for one of the largest known super-eruptions in history looks to be busy making silent, fiery preparations for its inevitable return.
The Kikai Caldera, located to the south of Japan's main islands, devastated a large swathe of the Japanese archipelago when it spewed upwards of 500 cubic kilometres (120 cubic miles) of magma during the Akahoya eruption some 7,000 years ago - and scientists have just confirmed evidence of new volcanic activity under the crater.
Researchers at Kobe University have detected a giant lava dome that exists below the Kikai Caldera, holding a volume of more than 32 cubic kilometres (almost 8 cubic miles) of trapped magma - a buildup that could reveal clues as to when Kikai's next super-eruption may be unleashed.
"The most serious problem that we are worrying about is not an eruption of this lava dome, but the occurrence of the next super-eruption," volcanologist Yoshiyuki Tatsumi told The New York Times.
© Tatsumi et al
This relief map shows the Kikai caldera: The inner and outer caldera are shown in solid lines. The blue diamonds indicate the diving sites of the remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
According to Tatsumi's previous research, given Japan's level of active volcanism, there is about a 1 percent chance of a "catastrophic" caldera eruption occurring within the Japanese archipelago sometime during the next 100 years - an event that could endanger or disrupt as many as 110 million people.
Such eruptions don't come along very often, but they do happen, with the the Kikai Caldera having undergone two massive such incidents prior to the Akahoya eruption - one about 95,000 years ago, following another super-eruption some 140,000 years back.
The confirmation of this lava dome - detected across three separate survey voyages by sonar, underwater robot observations, and seismic reflection analyses - doesn't mean any kind of super-eruption is necessarily imminent, but the researchers suspect it is evidence of a new magma buildup.
"The lava dome is chemically different from the super-eruption, suggesting that a new magma supply system had been developed after 7,300 years ago," Tatsumi told The New York Times.
In other words, whatever the significance of the lava dome is, this volume of hot, viscous rock - standing some 600 metres (1,968 feet) tall and spanning a width of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) - isn't an echo of Akahoya, but something new taking shape under the East China Sea.

"The post-caldera activity, at least [at] this caldera, is regarded as the preparation stage to the next super-eruption," Tatsumi explained to Live Science, "not as the calming-down stage from the previous super-eruption."
Just what this activity portends is unclear for now, and at least one researcher has pointed out that we could be looking at a congregation of smaller lava domes, as opposed to one giant combined mass.
To investigate further, Tatsumi and fellow researchers will embark on another expedition to the Kikai site next month, to see what further analysis reveals - and hopefully then we'll get a clearer picture on how this magma activity feeds into the caldera's evolution as a whole.
The findings are reported in Scientific Reports.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sponsor Team Sky with bigger budget
I've always said, "You know team Sky is good, but I'd love to see what they could accomplish with more money." Reporting from Cycling Weekly:
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe will sponsor Team Sky for 2020 and beyond with a bigger budget than before, a source close to the team has said.
The deal will be announced next month before the Giro d'Italia, Cycling Weekly understands.
Team Sky currently runs on £34 million a year, the biggest annual budget in cycling, but may have even deeper pockets next year.
Ineos, Ratcliffe's chemical company, is said to be the sponsor according to reports.
Sources close to the team could not confirm if it would be Ineos or one of its subsidiaries, but said that 66-year-old Ratcliffe is the man to ensure the team's future.
Ratcliffe, a masters triathlete, already backs the Ineos Team UK sailing squad at an estimated £110 million. According to one source, he and Team Sky principal Sir David Brailsford will officially announce the news before the start of the Giro d'Italia on May 11.

Why Celebrate the Killing of a Mountain Lion?
Beth Pratt at Adventure Journal with an excellent follow up to a story that's been big news in Colorado and nationally; the man who killed a mountain lion with his bare hands. I've definitely been a little uncomfortable with the story and how it's been treated in the media, everyone is a little too excited about killing a wild animal. As usual, there's a little more to this story:
As I learned more about the incident, though, I quickly became less concerned about P-22 being accused of a crime he didn't commit, and more about the pervasive and inaccurate frame of the story, which vilified the mountain lion — celebrating a bloodthirsty predator receiving justice in an against-all-odds heroic contest of man vs. beast. As I dug deeper, I discovered that most of the stories ignored the fact that the cougar in question was not even an adult, though the photos from almost every media outlet I saw showed fully grown lions, sometimes snarling, threatening-looking ones for dramatic effect. In fact, the animal was likely a starving youngster that weighed about 40 pounds and perhaps was not yet mature enough to even be independent from its mother. For perspective, I posted on Facebook a photo of myself with a kitten of the same size — Sam, Project Survival's Cat Haven resident mountain lion.
Be good stewards of nature!
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming to PC
Microsoft is bringing its classic Halo game collection to PC, and adding Halo: Reach to the entire Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Master Chief Collection includes Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST (Campaign), Halo 4, and now Halo: Reach. Oh, and it's going to be available on Steam. (mind blown)
Float is a feature-length documentary film directed by Phil Kibbe about "the ultra-competitive sport of elite, stunningly-designed indoor model airplanes". I love this sort of thing, a documentary about passion and intense competition for something I didn't even know existed.
After devoting years of time into construction and practice for no material reward, glory becomes their primary incentive. Like any competition, cheating and controversy are an integral part of the sport. FLOAT follows the tumultuous journey of Brett Sanborn and Yuan Kang Lee, two American competitors as they prepare for and compete at the World Championships.
"Designing, building, and flying the planes is truly an experience that requires patience and zen-like focus," says Ben Saks, producer and subject in the film.
Finally, I leave you with this: Maple Stream
I am officially stupefied by this product.

Stepping out in Faith – Paul Tan and the Edmonton Navigators
October 15, 2014 by Navigators Canada in Campus
Paul Tan is the campus leader for the Navigator student group at the University of Alberta. He has been in leadership there for the past 12 years, working to develop students into leaders who are able to help others grow deeper in their relationship with God.
Before Canada, Paul was living in Singapore, where his involvement with the Navigators first began. For secondary school, he and his twin brother attended an Anglican-run mission school. A Christian influence surrounded them there, and in their first year, his brother became a Christian.
Paul says that even though he was surrounded by Christian influence, his curiosity in learning more about the Christian message came from two of his classmates. The faith they had, he says, directed how they lived their lives. This was what drew him in to explore Christianity and eventually become a Christian.
Soon after, Paul became involved with the Singapore Navigators by way of his brother's invitation. For the rest of the story, watch the video below:

In this Dec. 25, 2015, file photo, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, holds communion and delivers his sermon to the congregation at Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, England.
The Church of England has acknowledged the reality of shrinking congregations and overworked priests and lifted a 400-year-old rule requiring that all churches hold services every Sunday.
Canon law dating from 1603 required priests to hold morning and evening prayers and a communion service each Sunday in every church they oversaw.
But after decades of declining attendance, many priests are now responsible for multiple churches, especially in rural areas. Until now, they have needed permission from a bishop not to hold Sunday services in each church.
The change was approved Thursday at a meeting of the church's governing Synod.
Bishop of Willesden Pete Broadbent, who proposed the change, said it "just changes the rules to make it easier for people to do what they're already doing. It stops the bureaucracy."

Beaches Living Guide Fall/Winter 2017/18
The Last Spike was the nail driven into the ground to complete the Canadian Pacific Railway near Revelstoke, B.C. on November 7, 1885. Canada was less than 20 years old at the time, and the completion became a symbol of national unity because finally we were linked together from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The CPR was built through swamps and mountain ranges, in blistering heat and frigid winters. A heavy toll was paid in lost lives as workers blasted their way through kilometres of rock and endured cave-ins, landslides and avalanches. It was truly a wonder of engineering. Today, there is a rest stop on the Trans-Canada Highway 45 km west of Revelstoke where a monument marks the site.

John Canada founded Ocean 5 Naval Architects in 2007, arguably the worst time in history to start a maritime company as the industry was just entering the worst downturn in a generation. But more than 10 years later, and with the industry still in recover mode, Canada and his company are still standing. Ocean5 has become synonymous with sportfish, luxury, performance and composite high speed small craft naval architecture, and the company's international presence is founded on patrol craft, mega yachts and performance boats including a 30-m custom yacht designed in Holland and built in Turkey.
You started this company in 2007, the start of a tumultuous time in maritime history. What did you see in the market at that time?
Number one, there was a need, because not every company can employ a degreed and qualified naval architect. When you are building custom yachts it is important that after you spend the the time and money designing and building your masterpiece, that when you splash it in the water it floats and performs as intended. It takes a certain expertise to pull that off, and while the builders need it, sometimes they can't afford to hire someone full time. This was an opportunity to support a number of builders and a number of yards, doing what I do best.
As we discussed, 2007 was an 'interesting' time to start this business.
Yes, it was the wrong time to start the business. We had a strong showing of recreational clients on the recreation and yacht side, and it fell off a cliff. About 25% of the builders, at least, went out of business. First the projects dropped off, and then the companies dropped off. So we diversified, partnering with Tampa Manufacturing, helping them with their patrol boats.
To me it's impressive that you started the company then and that you're still here. What's the key to survival?
It is diversification, and also choosing your clients wisely. If you're not the "best fit" for a client, refer them to somebody else. We each have our role in how we support the industry, and just like doctors, you go to the right doctor for whatever ails you.
For those unfamiliar with Ocean 5, give us a brief overview on your size and scope.
Right now we are seven people in a small office overlooking the St. Lucie River. Simply put, we love boats, we live and breathe boats, boats of all kinds and of all sizes. Today we are pretty tied up in the recreational market, kind of where we started with the company in 2007. We're involved with wake boats and with appendages to drive large wakes so that people can surf behind the boat. We've got a new 64-ft. custom sport fish design that will be built here locally, a cold-molded/composite hybrid, high speed craft.
We are also involved in some interesting smaller projects, such as one where we were working on airplane floats with innovative lift features so that the aircraft can take off faster.
With the broad portfolio of business, what do you count as your core competency?
Most people hire us for hull design, structures design and refit structural design. They want a hull that's going to perform, so it's up to us to do the math, to get the weights and the LCGs right, and to get the hydrostatics right.
When you look at the markets you serve, where do you see opportunity today?
Certainly the (increased use of outboard engines) are continuing to grow. We seem to get involved with a lot of projects where "alternative propulsion" is involved whether it was (three outboards powering the new SeaRay), or it was IPS when it came out. We are integration specialists for new hardware, from engines and drives to stabilizer fins and gyro stabilizers. We implement these systems on these tiny boats where people said, 'you can't do that, it's too heavy or the power draw is too large.' But we do it.
So can you point to one project that you think best speaks to your organization's capabilities?
In the pipeline is a 64-foot sport fish that we're developing. These are custom yachts, and they go far and above and beyond (existing boats). There's a lot of specialized, integrated systems that people really don't recognize, but it's their passion to have this fishing boat that has the most advanced features you can get.
We understand that you have a new technology demonstrator boat that premiered at the Miami International Boat show this year.
The Ocean5 Stuart Boatworks 27-ft. Technology Demonstrator is a first of its kind in innovative use of hull space, technology integration and green energy. It debuted at the Miami show, and it did a few things. Number one was the dynamic positioning and station keeping, so you can have this virtual anchor with the Sea Star Optimus 360 system, and that gives you the joystick, as well. In addition, that one coupled with the Garmin also gives you autopilot without an auto helm. But really, it was the idea of the virtual anchor with the gyro stabilizer. Those two coupled together will allow you to run offshore, hold your position over a reef, have the stabilizer on so that you can actually fish in the ocean in a small boat.
That does sound incredible. I've been bounced around many times on the ocean.
Also, it's all DC powered. So that was really a first – coupling the two together with no generator in a boat of that size. But it meant that we had to have a dedicated battery bank for the Seakeepers – also just the weight of the Seakeeper itself, which is underneath the cockpit. In order to compensate for the weight of the Seakeeper, the boat is infused, so it's got a lighter-weight hull, stringers, and deck. In addition to the weight of the Seakeeper, we had to design a foundation to take the loads. So there were new stringers that were put in the boat, aluminum tapping plates, extra fiberglass reinforcement. We had the battery bank with twin 480 AGM batteries that are about 120 pounds apiece. So at the end of the day, you're looking at adding about 800 pounds to a 27 foot boat.
So as the business of designing boats and ships continues to evolve rapidly, what technology do you see as the most transformational and helping you do your job more efficiently?
I'm still waiting for it. I'm still waiting to have CFD on my desktop computer and my laptop. You know, the ability to make it affordable, to make this your virtual tank test. It's gone (from tow tanks) into CFD, but it's still ridiculously expensive. So not every naval architect can have this sitting on their desktop. But you look at it, and that is our most powerful tool. So we have FEA, we have really advanced surfacing and modeling tools, and hydrostatic tools. And the one thing that I'm really looking to have is CFD running on my laptop.

David Walker: Abolitionist And Pioneer of Black Nationalism & Black Power
David Walker (1785-1830), was the son of an enslaved father and a free black mother. Because his mother was free, Walker was also considered a free citizen. His freedom, however, did not shield him from witnessing firsthand the injustices of slavery. On one occasion, Walker witnessed an enslaved boy who was forced to whip his mother until she died. This experience and others throughout his life rallied him to become an activist and an abolitionist. As an adult, Walker settled in Boston, MA. Though Boston was a free city in the North, discrimination was still very prevalent there. Walker opened a clothing store in Boston in the 1820's. He also began to associate with other black activists and abolitionists and became a writer for the first African American Newspaper in the U.S. "Freedom's Journal". Walker was also involved with the Underground Railroad providing clothing to those trying to escape slavery.
His pamphlet, "Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World" was published in 1829. His target audience were those enslaved in the south. Continue reading "David Walker: Abolitionist And Pioneer of Black Nationalism & Black Power" →
Albert Cleage: Founder The Shrine of The Black Madonna
Rev. Albert B. Cleage 1911-2000 (later changed his name to Jaramogi Abebe Agyeman) was a theologian, nationalist, civil rights leader and father. He was a major influence on Detroit politics and black nationalism. He established the Central United Church of Christ in Detroit in 1956.
Cleage had become disenchanted with the white hierarchy of his denomination. Though he had served in integrated church settings; it seemed disheartening to him because he felt that he continued to witness racism and unfair treatment.
In 1970, shortly after the unveiling of an 18-foot painting of a Black Madonna in his church, the name was changed to Shrine of the Black Madonna and the Pan African Orthodox Christian Church denomination was created. The church also maintained the Shrine of The Black Madonna Cultural Center. It was a hub of progressive, African-centered, religious, cultural and political activity. He contended, that Christ and many of his disciples were African in origin and suggested that Europeans had captured and twisted Christianity to assist in their enslaving Africans. He argued strongly for African American control of their own fate.
Albert Cleage in front of Shrine of The Black Madonna in Detroit
Cleage did not believe in integration for blacks. He felt that it was important for blacks to obtain and maintain an economic, political, and social environment independently. He founded the City-wide Citizens Action Committee to support black businesses. He also promoted the education of black children by black teachers.
In the 1970s, Cleage expanded the church to Atlanta and Houston. Cleage was also very active in politics. Though he ran for office several times, he never won. However, his candidacies and advocacy led to the creation of the Black Slate, an organization that was instrumental in electing Detroit's first Black mayor, Coleman Young, as well as other political officials. Cleage was also very instrumental as part of the 1960's Black Power Movement. He authored 2 books, "The Black Messiah" and "Black Christian Nationalism."
Growing up in Detroit, The Shrine Of The Black Madonna Cultural Center was an icon in Black community. But I was not fully aware of its origins or impact. I'm wondering if any of the Black Mail blog readers are familiar with Albert Cleage?

Counting Their Lucky Stars

Jericho Middle School's MATHCOUNTS, a mathematics club with the aim of building confidence and improving attitudes towards math and problem solving, recently won first place in the New York State MATHCOUNTS Competition, proving that the school possesses some of the strongest math minds in New York state.
The Jericho Middle School MATHCOUNTS team won first place in New York state.
The four-person team consists of seventh-grader Ethan Zhang and eighth-graders Edgar Ma, Catherine Kim and William Hu, who has been on the team since sixth-grade and has served as the team's captain for the past two years. They are led by their proud coach Danielle Schwirzbin, who is also a math teacher at the middle school.
"I'm so impressed by this team," said Schwirzbin. "Not only are they a pleasure for me to work with, but they also work incredibly well together."
Before advancing to the state-level competition, held at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), the young mathematicians had to first compete at the Long Island Chapter competition on Saturday, February 4, against approximately 20 schools.
There, teams of four were asked to work both independently and together in different sections, some of which they were able to use calculators and some they could not. Topics ranged from statistics and probability, to geometry, number theory and more. After completing all rounds, the captain was asked turn in the group's answers for the judges to calculate.
Students were required to complete a variety of math problems both individually and as a group.
Though the team was skeptical of their shot at placing even within the top three, they were enthralled when it was announced that they had placed first overall in the competition, buying them a spot in the impending statewide competition.
Independently, each team member achieved their own personal accolades, with Ma scoring seventh overall, Zhang placing second overall and Hu taking the top spot.
In preparation for the New York state competition, the team, led by captain Hu, worked tirelessly, often meeting outside of club hours within their homes to practice and strategize.
"It amazes me how dedicated and hardworking these students are and just how passionate they were about the competition," said Schwirzbin. "Once they won Long Island, it ignited this drive in them."
A little over a month later, the four-man crew headed to the state-level competition, where they were met by another 259 students, hailing from approximately 58 schools. Despite the team's growing worries in the face of tough competition, they were able to procure the top spot yet again.
Jericho's MATHCOUNTS team is pictured with their coach Danielle Schwirzbin.
Aside from the team's collective first place honor, Hu was identified as seventh in the state based on his scores from the competition. This is the second consecutive seventh-place honor at the state level for the seasoned captain.
Though the team's eighth-graders will graduate and move on to high school next year, Schwirzbin is confident that the MATHCOUNTS program will continue to thrive as the younger students assume the heightened responsibility. This year's success certainly sets the bar high for Jericho's most promising up-and-coming mathematicians.
