    It is difficult to work together when one sees lies and obfuscations throughout the media.
    E.g. Most recently, the killings in Santa Barbara, which is being used for anti-gun propaganda.
    You may think SSRI has something to do with silver, but try ssriStories.com and you will find much evidence of anti-psychotic drugs taking (or rather weaning off same) leading to most of the violence in society today.
    And What about Condi Rice been stopped from giving a commencement address?
    Maybe the liberal left should head your “can’t we just get along” message.
    After all the President’s idea of getting along is divide and conquer, and if that does not work lie or claim to know nothing.

    To h*ll with getting along; I impatiently wait for the revolution in which the scum politicians and their cronies die for killing what once was the best country on earth.

      I must admit that for me it is not easy to put up with the politically correct crap and other crimes, manipulations and perversions that go on up here in Canada. Change for the better is long over due FWIW and change is not possible at the ballot box. If it was we would have nothing to offend us or complain about.

      You can’t get along with sworn enemies. Those enemies are sin, Satan and self (our fallen nature). If we don’t deal with the enemy within FIRST, we can forget about the rest. As Jesus said, “Unless you abide in me, you can do nothing.” Remember, He is the Light of the World. If we have any freedom, it is thanks to HIM! Don’t use your freedom to sin. A nation of emasculated men smoking dope and surfing porn sites are no match for the Harvard-educated totalitarians and banksters driving for global conquest.

    It is nice to hear some of your friends listen to Mark Levin, who talked about the Admiral’s speech on his program.
    I tend not to visit RealClearPolitics.com because of its right-wing agenda.

    America has been directly involved in 14 major wars since the end of WW2.
    America has involved themselves directly and indirectly in hundreds of military actions since the end of WW2:

    As long as Private Central Banks are allowed to exist, inevitably as the night follows day there will be poverty, hopelessness, and millions of deaths in endless World Wars, until the Earth itself is sacrificed in flames to Mammon.

    The path to true peace on Earth lies in the abolishment of all private central banking everywhere, and a return to the state-issued value-based currencies that allow nations and people to become prosperous.

    Interestingly, the shooter at UCSB was similar to President Obama in that he was half white. His mother is Asian. For some reason though, to Progressives, Obama is Black but the UCSB shooter is White.

        Inconsistency. Race does not matter to me, but I will point out inconsistencies in labelling.

          Have you noticed how reluctant Clinton, as Secretary of State, was to label Boko Haram a terrorist group, and she still hasn’t admitted they deliberately target Christians for killing.
          Only some 40 Christians killed or raped over the last 5 years.

    May 26, 2014 26:48 PM

    Great comments guys. I think it was Kahllil Gibran who said something as follows: ‘You’ll discover that on your deathbeds you and your enemy will share more in common than you ever imagined.
    Have just seen tonight the film The Railway Man – brilliant starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman. About a Japanese POW meeting up with his torturer after the war. Lomax the prisoner’s original plan was to kill his torturer but it ends up with them becoming lifelong friends – a TRUE story. However vehement the arguments, however the bloody the battles during the vanity of our lives in the end we’re back to the same old truth: LOVE CONQUERS ALL. A powerful Memorial Day to you all. Best, A

        I have not seen the movie, but one thought immediately springs to mind: How on earth did Colin Firth, who tends to be a bit chubby, get his weight down to play a Japanese POW?
        I would like to know his diet!

          May 27, 2014 27:20 AM

          Probably a different ‘actor’ CFS.

          I know what you mean Al – getting angry is so twentieth century at least for us older ones!

      May 26, 2014 26:42 PM

      I would guess that movie was very similar to the book entitled “Unbroken”

      Great non-fiction work of literature.

        From the same author as Seabiscuit.
        I did hear that it had sold the movie rights, but don’t remember if it was being made into a movie. I think the guy was still alive still. (In his 90s)
        Kindle time, maybe.

    The Bank of Ireland have made a decision that the safe keeping facility that it has provided to clients is to be phased out. The bank’s clients have been given a 30 day notice period and told that they must remove all legal documents and other valuables within 30 days.
    I wonder whether the ECB or the US government is leaning hard?

      May 26, 2014 26:43 PM

      That is very interesting.

    On the other hand, GoldCore and Sentinel Vaults have recently announced a partnership which will allow for both the safekeeping of important documents and valuables, and also the storage, delivery and collection of gold. This can now be done for the first time from fully insured safety deposit boxes in ultra-secure vaults in a former AIB bank vault in Ballsbridge in Dublin 4.
    (although physically in an ex-bank vault, this new storage facility is now not in anyway subject to bank laws.)

    good luck. No doubt the gold is there, maybe, but how many times has it been leased or sold.
    Of course, if it is not there, it was shipped to Switzerland and re-cast in .9999 kilobars.

    Al,
    I do so appreciate the attention you gave to my question Saturday. Not only do you put together excellent shows with very relevant information and commentaries on economic issues, but you are willing to take the time to answer questions like mine. And you do all this free of charge! For this I am grateful, and I visit your website daily.
    I’m glad that you have a happy life, and if your happiness is derived from the religious path you follow, then by all means stay on that path. I’m a happy person too, but without religion, yet our moral values are probably pretty much the same.
    Congressman Walter Jones seems like a decent, politically responsible person whose intentions are indeed noble. But statements such as that our constitutional rights come from the Bible, or that our laws are based on the Ten Commandments seem to me to be false and irresponsible statements. Christians often make these claims because they’ve heard it at church and never checked to verify it. It’s easier to just believe it and pass it on. I wasn’t trying to be contentious but rather to call attention to mistaken ideas. I hope you understand.

      May 26, 2014 26:46 PM

      I certainly do.

      I have so far found nothing in The Bible to substantiate the statements, by the way.

        May 27, 2014 27:41 AM

        It seems to me Al that the media teach for doctrines the commandments of the powers that be making the law of God of no effect by their traditions and need for expedience.
        If the law of God meant anything to the authorities they would not break the first commandment by legislating and they would not break the commandment Honor thy father and thy mother by legalizing homosexuality. They would not lie, defraud or steal under the color of their laws nor would they murder through making wars under false pretenses. I am sure the list of official offences is long and government and financial institutions are disgraced by their own transgressions.

    I must admit Thomas Dilorenzo eloquently expresses some of my thoughts. I don’t completely agree with him, partially because I also believe in the innocence of youth. Many of our troops are little more than boys following orders, trapped by signing up before they understood what they got into.
    I do firmly believe it is possible to love your country, but hate your Government.

    I know I love my country and detest President multiple-liar Obama.

    I know I hate the destruction of the USA by its corrupt self-serving politicians.

    In that regards, I’m sorry Big Al, because I will never agree to just get along for the sake of peace. I thank you for this forum, but I guess activism is in my genetic make-up.
    (My favorite grandfather was a die-hard socialist, pro-union leader, who must be turning over in his grave and think me crazy in my opinions.) However, when I see any person making statements in conflict with the known facts, or in conflict with previous statements the person has made, it is like waving a red flag at a bull; I feel impelled to charge.

      May 26, 2014 26:49 PM

      For the record, I love my country and do not approve of my government’s actions.

      Is that plain enough?

        May 26, 2014 26:27 PM

        I understand, O big one. Very reasonable.

        I guess I was brought up to think compromise, when in search of truth and justice, to be an unacceptable word. Nobody should ever think I will ring the bell. Appeasement is not in my vocabulary.

          May 26, 2014 26:15 PM

          Race, unfortunately does matter because of learned behaviorrd and that is a real shame!

            I don’t think race matters.
            Competence matters.
            Honesty matters.
            Justice matters.
            Responsibility matters.

            Race should not matter.

    Plot Summary: Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces “Unbroken,” an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

    Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand’s (“Seabiscuit: An American Legend”) enormously popular book, “Unbroken” brings to the big screen Zamperini’s unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit.

    Starring alongside O’Connell are Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as Phil and Mac—the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific—Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as “The Bird.”
