Dr. Paul Craig Roberts - Former US Treasury Official, Co-Founder of Reaganomics, Economist & Acclaimed Author gives a very thoughtful and chilling interview about the current events in the Ukraine.

2014!

The government has announced budget cuts for the Dept of Defense.

The Pentagon said on Monday it would shrink the U.S. Army to pre-World War Two levels, eliminate the popular A-10 aircraft and reduce military benefits in order to meet 2015 spending caps, setting up an election-year fight with the Congress over national defense priorities.

I wasn't going to attention to any of this until I saw Martin Armstrong"s chart of Cycles of War and Political Change:

Alex Stanczyk: Physical Gold Supply Never Been Tighter

In an interview at IN GOLD WE TRUST, Alex Stanczyk, Chief Market Strategist for the Anglo Far- East group of companies, who just returned from a trip to Switzerland. Alex confirmed to me the distribution of gold from west to east is not slowing down whatsoever. Refineries in Switzerland are still working 24 hour a day to cast bars for China, sometimes having difficulties sourcing the gold.

What I do know is that we are on the threshold of a situation that has never occurred before. A (Gold) squeeze is imminent, it could take 3 months or 6 months, but all I know is that it’s coming, and I know that with 100 % certainty.

What this means to me is at some point soon, we will wake to a new paradigm: Gold will be unavailable at any price and Silver won't be far behind.

Got Gold?

India Proscribes Liberty

"India has increased the duty on gold imports for the second time in six months, in an attempt to rein in surging demand for the precious metal."

India is the world's biggest consumer of gold and demand for the metal has been rising further

India's gold imports touched 162 tonnes in May, nearly twice the average level.

France Proscribes Liberty

France prohibits mailing of "...all forms of currency - coins and cash and all forms of precious metals – coins, bars and jewellery by mail." Two reasons:

• Some have suggested that the decree is to limit what is known in France as “the anonymous market”, the market in which no taxes are paid and people are free to trade without the supervision of banks and government.
• It may also be an attempt to restrict the growing private market in France of people buying bullion online through Ebay which is increasingly popular.

"The freedom of people to trade amongst themselves is a form of civil liberty as is the right to privacy."

I Was Hacked!

It cost me $75 to find out I was hacked at Movermike.com and 15 hours of work at $125 per hour to put it back the way it was. There was no way I could spend almost $2,000, so I decided the bastards, who got me for my views on this regime (yes, I'm being paranoid),  weren't going to win, so I'm still here. I will continue writing about subjects that affect our Liberty or government actions that take away our Liberty. I will continue to write about Gold and Silver which are the "canary in the coal mine" that signal our currency is being devalued by the FED (Federal Reserve).

I will continue to write the truth about the economy as I see it; weather and it's effects; the hoax that is (gasp) global warming. I will continue writing book and movie reviews, writing about our culture and current TV. I will continue to bring you news about earthquakes in Oregon, because they are so rare and because I'm expecting a big one in Oregon. I will continue adding poetry and humor when appropriate.

I am just a semi-retired guy who spent almost 30 years as a stockbroker, another six years in marketing to high tech companies. I currently drive a school bus for Lincoln High students living in Forest Heights and in my spare time have a growing freelance writing business. I intend to spend six months a year in Mexico with my wife and write about our travels. I will continue blogging at Mover Mike Two, Landfair on Furniture, Mexico Calling, Mike Landfair Freelancer, and Market Bugle.

I WILL NOT SHUT UP!
