The New Case for Gold

     The New Case for Gold a book by  James Rickards predicts the fall of the current monetary system, and who will be the arbitrators of the new rules of money in the future, and the reprercussions of such.

     He writes of the fact that prior monetary collapses did not result in people moving into caves and falling back into the stone age, instead major monetary powers sat down together and re-wrote the rules of money.   He believes that Gold will once again be the standard backing for money.

   Rickards makes a case for investing in gold in various forms.

What is SOPA?

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a senate bill introduced on May 11, 2011 by Senator Patrick Leahy.   This bill is designed to give the government and copyright owners powers that could block websites that are labled as "rogue sites that are dedicated to infrigning and counterfiet goods".
     Any website that even provides a backlink to any website that could contain copyrighted material, could be blocked.  For example Google would be in trouble since you can find basically every single website in the world on their search engine.  That would be enough for the SOPA act to target them in lawsuits.  Facebook and Twitter would have to also censor all users since the users could cause them to be sued if they were to upload anything that may potentially be copyrighted.  Or furthermore post a link to any website that might contain access to copyright infringed material.  This Bill will fundementally destroy the whole process that is the Internet.
   This bill would also make unauthorized media sharing a felony.  Ordinary users on Facebook or Twitter could be imprisoned for up to five years for simply pressing the share button on a questionable piece of music or material and be actually committing a felony for that act.

Fight for the Future has published a special 3-minute video trying to explain the damage that SOPA could cause.




PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

We must act soon to stop this bill.   We need 41 senators to reject this bill on January 24th 2011.
 Ron Paul has blasted The SOPA bill on his campaign trail as well

Occupy Wallstreet.org

Occupy Wallstreet.org is the place to be for all occupy information.  Check it out and support the 99%.  Protesters are setting up to occupy the Iowa caucuses this January to remind people that our representatives have been bought and paid for by the 1%.  We need representation and our best interests in washington or a new system completely all together.  There is no doubt that votes on certain bills and laws have been manipulated by wallstreet insiders and bankers and big business across the nation.  The state of the economy and standard of living for people all across America have been affected by this.  The mainstream media is not the place to get informed on the issues.  Underground news sources are becoming increasingly viewed and respected and are becoming a threat to the powers that be.  The internet itself is under attack with new laws being planned for censorship purposes under the guise of piracy protection.  If you care about your country you will do what you can to inform yourself and others about what is really going on in the world.  Do not allow the agenda of a few dictate the lives of many.

Kim Jong-il Dead at 69

Kim Jong-il  has died at the age of 69 from a heart attack while riding on a train.  The North Korean communist leader will be replaced by his 27 year old son Kim Jong Eun.  Many experts say that there is a danger of instability in the power exchange as the new young leader has not been fully groomed for his new position.  Korea is a society which respects Confucian ideas of seniority based power.  It does not help that the new leader is so young.  North Korea has reportedly test fired short range missiles off its east coast this morning.  It is believed that this testing was just for improving missiles functioning and had nothing to do with the recent death of their former leader. Kim Jong Eun will be the third generation leader of the Kim Jong family to take over Korea since it's founding.  This family is the only family to hold power in this region since it's formation.  North Korea has quite a history of nuclear weapon development.  In 2006 and 2009 it tested nuclear bombs successfully and have made attempts at uranium enrichment for nuclear weapons.  Sanctions by the UN have slowed down the programs progress in recent years as well as hurt the country's economy.  Candidates for the 2012 elections have already begun their rhetoric on the topic as well.

Is Iran a few months away from a having a nuclear weapon?

Last night's republican debate was filled with questions about Iran and possible US military action that may be taken against them.  There was debate on whether or not they are close to having a "nuke" or whether or not it's our duty to make sure that they don't have one.   Representative Michele Bachmann had a strong debate in that she appeared stronger and took aim at other candidates and challenged them on their controversial positions.  One part of the debate included her telling Ron Paul that he was being completely irresponsible for saying that we have no business promoting war with Iran and that they are not close to having a nuclear weapon.  She stated that an IAEA report came out recently that stated that they are months away from producing a military weapon.  Ron Paul became visibly frustrated and stated that there was no such report and that she had been mislead by the report. The actual report summarizes that they believe there is credible evidence to support that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of nuclear weapons.  No where in the report does it state that Iran is months away from developing one of these weapons.  Bachmann was either mislead by the report or was purposely trying to mislead the public and take a typical republican stance on National Security within the last several years.  Ron Paul continually states that he fears we are replaying a scenario like we did when we invaded Iraq.  Jumping the gun in fear that something might happen has proven to be a huge mistake.  He also claims that the fact is, it is the United States constant occupation of other countries that has angered the radicals and caused retaliation.  This does not sit well with many republicans who have completely grasped the idea of radical muslims are solely in existence to kill american's.  Ron Paul states that if the reason that radical's attack us is because of our freedom and prosper then why do they not attack Sweden or Switzerland?  The Iowa polls are very soon and time will tell where the republican party stands on these issues.  I believe the overall feeling of Americans is that the war on Iraq was a mistake and are going to be less likely to jump into a war with Iran without much more solid evidence that we need to do so.

Gingrich on top, suprising Ron Paul gaining ground

Fox News tonight airs yet another republican national debate.  The time for the first caucus in Iowa is near approaching.  Will Newt crumble as he has a tendency to do, or will he remain the top candidate to take on Barack Obama in the 2012 elections this coming November.  Ron Paul has solidified a second place tie in recent poles  with former front runner Mitt Romney.  Paul seems to be the only candidate who has consistently risen his numbers since the beginning of the race.  He states that Newt Gingrich is the 'flavor of the week" for the republican party and also states that he could not support any other republican in this race that is currently running for president because he doesn't actually see there views all that differently from what democrats are trying to do when it comes to the issues that really matter.  More military, more government growth as a whole,  and no way to pay for any of this as they are consistantly lowering taxes.   Fox tonight at 9pm eastern time will mark the last debate before the Iowa caucus.  I'm sure it will be filled with gaffe's from an interesting cast although Herman Cain is out of the race there's plenty of room for blunders from the remaining candidates.

Paul vs. Newt

Gingrich is for the Patriot Act and Ron Paul as excepted is completely against it.  Now that Herman Cain has completely washed out of the campaign marking the 3rd front runner to be short lived and full of more hype than substance.  The absence of Cain has left Newt Gingrich surging to the lead in the poles while Paul steadily as he has done since the early days of the campaign creeping towards the top.  Paul has stated that Newt is the new flavor of the week and it is obvious that Newt believes he has a good shot at the nomination.  He has been in the political arena for quite sometime and knows how to play the game, although he does have quite a bit of bad past and history to overcome at the moment he is succeeding probably his own expectations.

The Occupy UC Davis protest is preparing for a march on the school's campus on November 21st at 12 p.m. PST.  The rally in the quad comes after worldwide attention focused on the Northern California campus after a University of California at Davis police officer pepper-sprayed a line of passive students sitting on the ground.  Two officers have been placed on suspension, and the students have called for the resignation of the Chancellor of UC , Linda Katehi .  Katehi has put out a statement stating that there were no other options.   The students of UC Davis strongly disagree with this and UC has become the center of attention for the Occupy Movement at the moment.

Eviction for Oakland Occupy

    According to the Associated Press, Oakland police have issued another eviction notice to the protesters to remove all tents and other belongings from their campsite by a non specified date.  This comes after a man was shot and killed by another man last week.  The men were reportedly arguing yet there has been no connection made with the man who died and the protesters but it did happen in the area.  This notice is the same one given to the protesters shortly before the October 25th raid and riot where police used tear gas on protesters and arrested several.  They were allowed back to the gathering site the following day and the camp has grown considerably since then.  Protesters are stating that the city is using the Occupy Movement as a scapegoat for any violence or any wrong doing in the area as a way to justify blocking their right to protest.  This is most likely the set up for yet another police vs protester scenario coming in the days ahead.

Who's telling the truth?

A British Wallstreet Stockbroker maid claims weeks ago about the coming collapse of the Eurozone on the BBC network.  The news team was visibly stunned.  Within days of this airing on live television millions of people tuned in to watch the youtube version of this video and it has been growing ever since.  With recent news of Italy's problems and more and more talk of the Eurozone collapse, it may become an accurate forecast of what's really about to happen. 

25,000$ Gold?

Here Max Keiser predicts that China will come to the Aid of the bankrupt Italy in exchange for their huge gold reserve.   Max Predicts that for the global debt to be cleared that gold will have to be valued at north of 25,000 dollars for that to work out mathematically.   Keep your reserves and buy more gold and silver if you can afford it.

Hold the Gold

Silver and Gold prices have been through the roof over the past year and It is possible that another drop is soon going to be taking place in the market in a matter of days due to CME lowering their margin calls. The truth is that it is not really a time to gamble and sell your physical now in the hopes that maybe you can buy at a lower price and then maybe double or triple your physical holdings when the price does fall. These prices are manipulated day to day and I do not believe accurately reflect the true value of these metals. I believe that the true value lies some where in the 4000 dollar mark for gold and silver to be easily around 250 or so. In other words I do believe that within the next year or so we will see these prices. Take the advice of Pastor Dowell among countless others from YouTube who have been calling gold and silver for years. A crash in the market is just a great oppurtunity to further invest in what will be the best hedge against the inevitable dollar collapse that awaits us. Maybe you can take a gamble and sale your gold and silver but why do that when the truth is nothing in our policy, political system, or even economical situation has truley improved. Selling your physical assets now may mean that in actuality you do not ever get a chance to get them back at a cheaper prices if it just so happens that the market does not drop out from under these metals at all. In fact they may very well spike instantly upon slowly decending, leaving thousands of people who sold their metals, left out of the Gold and Silver bubble that will eventually expand much faster. The gold and silver community does not recommend taking such a chance. Any gold or silver you have in your pocket is worth far more than anyone is going to be willing to pay for it at this moment. On the flip side you can buy gold and silver at a huge discount no matter what your paying for it at recent prices because truthfully it is way undervalued. Act Wisely.

Second Iraq vet Injured, Rush still crazy

The second Iraq war vet has been injured at Occupy Wallstreet. Kayvan Sabeghi, 32 was beaten by police as he made his way home from the occupy crowd. Reports are that he had sustained a lacerated spleen from the incident. No comment has been made yet from police involved. So far reports are that a police barricade stood between him and his home and as he tried to pass police took him down. There truly does seem to be a government vs people attitude growing beneath the surface more each day. In election news Herman Cain launched an ad saying that the attention he is getting over 2 decade sexual harrasement charges are a form of high-tech lynching. Even launching a clever T.V. ad which persuades the case. At one point you can hear a clip of non other than Rush Limbaugh talking about how the"Liberal" media is being blatantly racist against the fine black presidential nominee Herman Cain. Also stating that they are using low ball tactics against him. I can't believe I heard that come from Rush's lips considering the rants I can remember him going on about Barack Obama in an absurdly racist campaign he ran against him on his radio talk show 2 and a half years ago that remains ongoing to this day. I have to admire how Rush doesn't even try to hide his rhetoric, it's as if he just realizes that people so quickly forget in this country.

Triumph at O.W.S.

Conan O'Brian's special correspondent joined in on the fun at Occupy Wallstreet recently.  On his nightly show, he sent Triumph the Insulting Dog to talk to protesters and basically make fun of the loons that are inevitabley mixed in the large crowd here and there. Typical of Conan the piece was hilarious.  The protest itself is not actually as funny as it dredges on approaching two months now.  There have been reports of sexual abuse by a few women who are a spending their nights in tents in the streets of New York. One man, Jeremy Clinch, a homeless man that has been admist the crowds since the beginnings suddenly went on a rampage recently right in the middle of the ongoing protest.  His reasons were that he had been with the protesters from the beginning and still did not have a tent!  Republicans are also jumping in the theatrics as they are continuing to brush off the protests, labeling the protesters as anarchists.  With the exception of Senator Ron Paul. Republicans are pinning Obama to the Occupy Movement saying that his recent call for tax hikes on the rich directly influenced the movement.  Further adding that as this thing gets uglier it will ultimately take him down in the 2012 elections since he is becoming more and more associated with it.  Time will tell.
