    Chris, Cory and Doc,

    You guys have been first class, A+, big-time pinch hitters filling in for Big Al and taking a leadership role.

    Nothing but respect and appreciation for your superb efforts.

    Thanks guys.

      Agree 100% Vortex. These guys have been great. All the respect in the world for how they pulled it all together to keep the show online. That’s what friends are for! I am really enjoying Chris’s long interviews too…….12 to 15 minutes each. We are not used to that here but its nice when he get deep into the conversation.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:05 AM

        Bird, I’m simply amazed at the dedication and stamina that the guys bring forth each and every day of the week.

        Its a monumental personal investment for each of them, and a testament of the respect each of them must have towards each other and what being a true friend really means.

        These acts know no monetary value because they reside outside that venue.

        The acts of keeping big Al’s site running smoothly in a difficult time are bigger than money itself.

        I refer to it as the sweet spot of friendship which can be counted on one hand.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:14 AM

          Beautiful words Vortex. How could we not love this gang.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:23 AM

          Great comments guys. It is true solidarity and it does show the great ethos of the Korelin Economics Report, which has always been evident but now comes to the fore.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:42 AM

            It is not just about Korelin, it is about the whole gang! A group of not only great friends to me, but just great people!

          Apr 04, 2015 04:42 AM

          Sor true, V!

        Apr 04, 2015 04:41 AM

        Nothing like having great friends, is there Bird?

          Apr 04, 2015 04:46 AM

          Absolutely Al… Great to see you are back! My father had many strokes. I really understand how difficult it can be and I am amazed your recovery has been so swift. Hang in there.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:13 AM

      Well said V – they are acting like a true band of brothers.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:08 AM

        Andrew,

        Those are very profound words and fits the true nature of this site to a “T”.

        Respectfully (Rev)

        Apr 04, 2015 04:43 AM

        Thank you very much Reverend. Remember we are all one family and that includes not just those of us on this end!

      Apr 04, 2015 04:40 AM

      Yes, they certainly have been V!

      Apr 04, 2015 04:50 AM

      Agree Vortex. Everyone has done a great job. Thanks for calling in remotely from your honeymoon Cory, and Chris – Awesome Job!

      Chris – I was also appreciative for the segment on Kivalliq Energy, and the Uranium space. This is one of the biggest plays I see in the next 2-3 years, and while the sector has been decimated since 2011, I believe things bottomed at the end of last year and are basing for a dramatic increase.

      The fundamentals for Uranium are extremely bullish mid term, and were before the Fukushima accident, but (as usual) people Over-Reacted. The Japanese are set to start their reactors this year, and that will help, but even so, the market perceptions are greatly divorced from the reality.

      The reality is that nobody cares if Germany disbands its nuclear program as they are small potatoes, and while Japan is important, it pales in comparison to US, French, Russian, Chinese, Indian, South Korean supply needs. There is also substantial rising interest in the middle East and developing South Asia. Russia and China and the US are helping developing countries build large reactors, and that supply has to come from somewhere.

      At the low prices (far below the cost of production for any open pit or underground mining) and just above costs for Insitu-mining.

      We’ll see the price take a sudden jump in late 2015 and in early 2016. Most of the long term supply contracts (that end in 2016) are around $52-$60 and this is the only reason companies have plugged ahead during these tough times. With the exception of Uranium Energy Corp, the remainder of companies are selling their product at far above spot prices (like Cameco, Areva, Paladin, Uranium One, Energy Fuels, Uranerz, Ur-Energy, and Denison).

      The other thing is that the Uranium supply that was flooding the markets from the Megatons to Megawatts project of disarming US and Russian warheads concluded in 2013/with spillover into 2014. Lasty, Japan sold most of its Uranium to China to raise money to purchase coal, oil, and gas to power their country the last few years, so they’ll need to restock many of their stockpiles once they throw the switch and turn those back on.

      China is building 29 reactors at present with 70 more scheduled, planned, or getting permitted. Just that alone is more than Japan & Germany combined, and doesn’t take into account the reactors they already have in place, or are building for other countries.

      It appears that Uranium will likely lead the commodity and energy space as the first horse out of the gate this year. I have been building good positions over the last year in Uranium miners/producers, and the surviving quality explorers.

      Kivalliq has been on my watch list for some time, and I was just on their website early this week catching up their new press releases. It was very cool to have them on the weekend show!

        Apr 04, 2015 04:31 PM

        BTW – Great Segment on Energy with Cory, Chris, and Doc. I liked the overview of how the space is changing and agree with all 3 of you that moving forward, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, and Nat Gas will only grow in importance, and oil and coal will diminish. I still think oil has 2 good decades left though as we are still in the changes from fossil fuels to greener electricity and Lithium batteries.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:35 PM

          The battery industry will only grow more globally for cars, phones, computers, appliances, tow motors, and backup power. Lithium and Graphite will have a very slow bull market over the next 5 years, against the disbelief from those that saw those bubbles pop in 2010-2012. There is a legitimate need for more battery power and there are a few good projects that survived the carnage and fallout in those spaces that should do well.

        I have a serious problem with Kivalliq.

        I distrust ANY management that can potentially dilute shareholders by giving millions of options to management.
        In my book that stinks.
        I know Big Al will say that’s merely incentivisation, and recently the options expired worthless.
        But my trust in management was destroyed.

          Apr 05, 2015 05:06 PM

          Did I say that in this case?

    Re Seg 4 Some Christian fundamentalists along with some Zio-Christians in Israel will be growing increasingly schizophremic. Deposed President Ahmadinejad was understood to be the Twelth Mahdi of Islam namely the ‘False Prophet’, and thus the precursor of the Antichrist!. Now with the U.S. getting to be all buddies with Iran, there’s going to be yet more confusion among the end timers.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:45 AM

      Yes, there certainly will Revererned.

      Gentlemen it is more likely that the Beast is Bibi Natanyahu and the False Prophet is the the false minister of God and false president Barack Hussein Obama. From a religious, political, moral, economic and military stand point is there better candidates for the demonic duo?

    Apr 04, 2015 04:53 AM

    Thanks, guys, a lot. I’ve known Cory, Al, and Chris for some time now and I know Al gets insinuations thrown at him periodically by people that don’t know him well and he handles that with class. I’ll say it once again. I’ve met very few people like Al in my life who truly cares about others before himself. Plus he has integrity and is always attempting to do the right thing. And Cory is a young guy that is responsible, straight forward and loyal. Chris is one of the smartest guys I’ve met as it relates to so many subject matters and for him to step up when Al had to step aside was something to behold. I’ve been blessed to have fallen into another situation in life where I’ve met people like this and the impact they’ve had on my life. I might add, i look forward to every day to be able to be a part of this program and the many people that contribute their thoughts and wisdom. It’s been a great time of my life.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:04 AM

      Nice Doctor Postma. Let’s everyone be friendly and respectful today with our thoughts about Al at the top of our minds.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:15 AM

    Re: Segment 4:
    The Iranian nuclear deal represents the most disgusting betrayal of the U.S. by an ego maniacal despot determined to establish a supposed “peaceful” legacy. In this mistaken belief, the Emperor of the USA trades the stability of the Middle East, if not the whole world, for a brief moment of declared peace legacy.
    Not even Neville Chamberlin would have acted with such stupidity, mis-evaluation and lack of foresight.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:57 AM

      Truly an interesting opinion, Professor.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:11 PM

      Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

      Israel does have a nuclear weapons program.

      Why don’t we discuss real issues and ignore the imaginary Boogie Men?

      The alternative to a peace deal with Iran is WW III. The betrayal of the US is by those traitors who want to tank the agreement. That includes the Congressmen who sent the letter to Iran saying they were against the deal before they even knew what the deal was.

      There is one belligerent power in the Middle East and the US acts as their attack dog. I’m tired of hearing that we need to send more money and more of the blood of our children to further the territorial aims of a meaningless tiny group of madmen.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:36 PM

        You’re right, Bob.

        The reason we don’t discuss real issues is because our rulers in the District of Criminals are bought and paid for and one of the entities that has them bought is AIPAC and other Israilie related lobbies.

        Also, most Mercans (as Bushie calls ’em) are brain washed sheeple who believe any propaganda their rulers and the lamestream media tell them and the sheeple scare very easily. But by reading certain posters in this blog and other places I’m sure you already know all that.

    Re: Segment 6: Interesting comments from Doc. I like the consistency of his analysis.
    It has held $1200, 800 GB Pounds and 1100 (not 1000 but 1100) Euros at the close of this week.
    the gold in US dollars chart is still struggling but in Euros the chart has moved into a higher trading range and the Feb/March lows of 2015 have been above all of the 2014 trading range. That surely must have some importance because the Eurozone is still big, even if it is in ongoing crisis.
    With my optimistic hat on, I would call this bottoming process similar to the 1999-2001 period, with the accompanying US dollar strength and possible stock market blowout. In that case, gold bottomed before the dollar topped.
    We are now nearly two full years into this new bottoming process in gold as of early April 2015. The gold crash was on the 12th and 15th of April 2013.
    I still wonder about what can happen on the next gold rally. I think the dollar has to be back on its way down before there can be a substantial rally in gold and it might till take some time for that to happen. However, in Euro terms, one might argue that a bull market in gold has resumed.

    Apr 04, 2015 04:04 AM

    CFS You speak of Obama being an ego-maniacal despot, but what of those neo-cons in the U.S. and Israel who are simply itching to have a go at Iran? Whilst I would agree that the U.S. response seems truly bizarre – one moment treating Iran like a mortal foe only to embrace her the next. But Iran is no more evil that Israel when it comes to most of their citizens just wanting to get on with their lives while waging war with nobody. Just as there are those who say Iran has nuclear weapons there are as many who say she doesn’t, and speaking of which Israel continues to harbour at least 400 nuclear warheads.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:42 AM

      Rev,
      You make a good point. The peace treaty is among many nations. It’s just the first part that we all can see to disable nations from starting more wars.
      Pay close attention to the people in congress that are against to Iran nuclear deal, they are the ones that work for the military industrial complex and the cabal.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:17 PM

            The UN inspectors have had zero access to inspect Israel’s nuclear weapons program ever.

            If you truly think there is only one side to the issue, reach into your pocket and pull out a coin with only one side and post a picture of it so we can see something with only one side.

            Take off the blinders, Israel is not the victim and never has been.

            Why does Israel have ICBMs with nuclear tips?

          If a treaty is a stupid treaty, then opposition to such a treaty is intelligent.

          Explain this Chartster:
          Why is Iran building ICBMs?
          An ICBM, interContinental Ballistic Missile, is not built to deliver a conventional explosive payload. It’s too expensive for that. It is intended to use a nuclear payload.
          Ar people dumb asses to wish to not see Iran have the capability of nuclear attack against essentially an country in the world?
          They already have missiles that can strike Israel, so one MUST question why they are building ICBMs.
          Don’t be an ostrich.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:45 AM

            Maybe they are building them to force a peace agreement?

            Israel’s propagandists shoot themselves in the foot as they shoot off their mouths
            By Greg Felton | September 30, 2009

            If you have ever visited a blog or on-line discussion group on the Middle East you have doubtless had the misfortune to run into them.

            They are known by the language they use: depraved sexual insults, bile, bigotry, threats, disinformation and character assassination. That’s right: I’m talking about “hasbarats,” Zionist trolls who infect the Internet with hasbara, pro-Israel propaganda. Of course, mainstream media hasbarats have been around for decades, as have “hasbaratchiks,” fifth-columns in foreign governments who subvert national policies to serve Israel. The Internet, though, is the latest, some might say the greatest, propaganda playground, and Israel cannot cope with factual, passionate, well-documented stories that expose its war crimes and unrepentant criminality.

            If you’ve come across a hasbarat, on-line or otherwise, you have learned that no amount of reasoned argument or intellectual maturity has any effect. That’s because hasbarats don’t care if they come across as ignorant, obnoxious, nasty or inane. All that matters for them is sabotaging criticism of Israel and support for Muslims. They’re like anti-intellectual stink bombs: designed to cause maximum discomfort but have little if any real power.

            https://alethonews.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/israels-propagandists-shoot-themselves-in-the-foot-as-they-shoot-off-their-mouths/

            If you think the treaty is stupid, why don’t you explain why instead of hurling insults? Are you a Hasbarat on a mission of disinformation? It sounds like it.

            There is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace.

      e.g. secretly having a nuclear program for 17 years.
      Why do you think the Saudis and the Emirates are scared of Iran?

      Ask how long it will be before Iran controls Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan.

            CFS,
            The agreement absolutely stop Iran from have any significant war capablilaties. The agreement also snipped some caballs.
            Like I said, pay attention to the congressmen who fight it the hardest, as ” they ” are the cabal!

          Apr 04, 2015 04:03 PM

          And that, Chartster, is an interesting point!

            CFS
            Apr 05, 2015 05:10 PM

            The problem is, I don’t believe Chartster read the agreement or the tweet from Iran’s Foreign minister or the official statement that came out from Iran.
            It is difficult to negate ignorance with logic.

          CFS
          Apr 04, 2015 04:51 PM

          You need to read what the foreign minister of Iran said about the treat, Chartster.

          The reason Iran will sign any treaty, even if they intend to ignore it, is to have sanctions lifted and sell oil.

          Iran yielded NOTHING in the treaty. the US moved the goalposts again and again until they think they have a treaty.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:52 PM

            I saw what he said. I also saw what the US, Russia and China said.
            And I’ll also take a peace deal over bombing innocent people.
            If Iran screws up, they will pay. Not worried about it.

            There’s a lot more to the deal than you realize, CFS.
            it has everything to do with free trade agreements that have been negotiated for many months now. The nuke deal was a big step to starting a new financial structure.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:02 PM

        You cannot dispute the fact that many Muslims (and I stress to say that I don’t believe that all Muslims fall into this category) do feel this way.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:21 PM

        You made that up.

        The irrational hate coming from you is remarkable. If you dare recall, the Iran Contra affair was about Israel supplying arms to Iran. Somehow between then and now, all of a sudden Israel of the 200-400 nuclear weapons is terrified of a country with no nuclear weapons program.

        Think Yinon Plan and you will understand just what the real issue is.

          CFS
          Apr 05, 2015 05:20 PM

          I consider the relative size of Israel and Iran. I realize that probably just 2 nukes could kill most Israelis.
          As for the so-called Yinon Plan, that was in a different time, over 35 years ago, when Israel was having problems with Lebanon.
          A plan made under different circumstances by different leaders and not, to my knowledge ever acted upon.
          For that matter the reporter, Yinon, had much less credibilty than Snowden and failed to back up his accusation with documentation….if my memory is accurate, which after this time, it may not be.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:38 PM

        CFS,,thank you for presenting facts and a stable logical statement..something that Bob M cannot do….

          Apr 04, 2015 04:20 PM

          Gator:

          Would these be the facts from CFS you are talking about?

          Iran yielded NOTHING in the treaty. the US moved the goalposts again and again until they think they have a treaty.

          That statement is utter BS. Iran did yield and what you and the rest of the trolls ignore is that Iran has a legal right to a nuclear program. They are in accordance with international law, Israel ignores international law and has threatened to use nuclear weapons as late as a week ago, detonated one in 1979 and tried to sell them to South Africa. The Yinon Plan calls for Israel to dominate the Middle East by attacking all of their neighbors and they have used the US as their attack dog to attack 7 countries since 2001. If we took an honest poll of everyone on the board right now and people were required to tell the truth, we would learn that you and CFS haven’t even read the framework of the agreement. I’d guess Birdman has read it, he’s not stupid even if he is biases and misguided but there isn’t a chance in hell you ever looked at the facts. If you did, it would be the very first time.

      Yeah Rev,the synagogues are full of people shouting ‘Death to Iran’.
      Israel is a democracy where you can say things that would have you locked up in cell in Iran with little hope of getting out.
      Iran is an intolerant religious dictatorship-as is much of the Arab world.
      I can sleep soundly with the children of the holocaust having 400 nuclear warheads-but not Iran,the House of Saud,Egypt,Tunisia or any of the rest of them.
      Inevitably Israel will have to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions unilaterally- by doing what should have been done 5 years ago-it will no doubt be labelled a pariah by all ‘decent’ opinion,but what option does it have?

        Apr 04, 2015 04:24 PM

        Israel is a democracy where half the people living in the country are in concentration camps and don’t get to vote.

        Actually Iran is a democracy where the government was voted on by all the people. Including the Jews, they love their country.

        You made up the bit about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. There is no nuclear weapons program in Iran. But you knew that.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:39 PM

            Apr 04, 2015 04:25 PM

            What is your objection, the fact, not opinion, the fact that the Iranian Jews are not discriminated against and they love their country? And by the way, unlike the Palestinians, the Jews get to vote in Iran. Israel is a democracy only for Jews.

            If you have your knickers in a twist over Iran having the “capability” of making a weapon one day, I’d like the point out that you have the “capability” of being a pedophile but that doesn’t mean you have the intent. If you passed logic 101, you understand that capability is meaningless without intent.

            You do, however, have the intention of being a troll.

        Don’t they have Jews and Christians living there?

        Even if they did build a nuke, what would happen to them if they used it?
        1 to Israel and Iran would have hundreds of them falling on them and that’s only from Israel.
        I just don’t see them being suicidal. Against their religion I think.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:07 PM

        All right boys, time to get back to work.

        After all, even though Israel is an afluent and very small country (both in land mass and population) it gets by far more money stolen from Americans…er…sorry…taxes…er sorry foreign aid than any other country in the world. $8.5 million every day and that’s the direct military aid that we know about. Factor in indirect and non-military and it is even more.

        SO GET BACK TO WORK, TAX SERFS. SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR ALL THIS AND THAT SOMEONE IS YOU!!! REMEMBER, YOU ARE OWNED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT MASTERS AND YOU ARE NO MORE THAN TAX LIVESTOCK.

        You will pay every cent that your rulers demand and if you don’t men with guns will come to put you in a cage with violent offenders and if you resist you will be killed.

        After all this is ” The Land of the free, home of the brave…” and all that garbage….

        So get back to work and earn more for your government masters. And remember, April 15 is fast approaching so get that 1040 all nice and shiney the way your rulers like it!

        And never forget “Freedumb is on the march…..,” as Bush the Lesser declared during his reign.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:03 AM

        Did you see yesterday’s story from Ambrose Evans Pritchard, Andrew? Greece has now drawn up a battle plan to return to the Drachma and may default on its IMF loan which comes due on the 9th of April.

        Not so coincidentally to the timing is that the ECB Governing Council meets on April 15th to make a decision on whether to extend Emergency Assistance (ELA) to Greek Banks. These dates are key in my view.

        As you will recall, the Titanic sank on April 15th 1912 so that is its 103rd anniversary date. I hardly doubt the symbolism and now expect the worst as Greece looks certain to default strategically rather than risk its remaining funds while the Troika holds out awaiting reforms that are entirely incompatible with the Syriza party platform and promises to its electorate.

        But what does this mean? Is it Democracy itself that is under attack given Greece is the birthplace of our modern democratic ideals? Or is there more to it than that? Should Greece sink there will be casualties. As usual, there are not enough lifeboats for all the passengers and perhaps this will symbolize the beginning of the end of the Euro experiment itself.

        The unsinkable ship…the one that was so strong it could never go down. Man your stations!

    ■■■■■■■■■■■■ BIRD, ..YOU ARE A COMPULSIVE LIAR AND A FRAUD. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

    MOST RECENTLY LAST FEW DAYS.

    Regarding gold mining and all the above supplies of gold.

    The truth is there is not enough gold to cover all the reckless
    amounts of money in digital form through toxic government
    bond buying with funny money that doesn’t exist.

    With regard to mining gold there is very little impact to the
    environment and we need gold to counter the corrupt politicians
    in the conquest to wrongfully steal from the masses by design.

    Briefly speaking because I’m not here to invest all my time to
    counter your…FRAUD. I want to expose you. Hopefully others
    will acknowledge my efforts and speak out. Some have but you
    are over running the site. A blogger on steroids ? Literally running
    everyone over unless they comply with your philosophy.

    Regarding God. The Old Testament you claim to know so well. If
    you know it so well God will not tolerate a world or nation in rejection
    to him and leave him out of our daily lives you advocate doing. We
    can’t ignore God without total destruction coming to the world or
    a nation. The Old Testament is very clear on this.

    AND EVERYONE, …WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE SUCH TURMOIL.

    We are living in a God rejecting or a high desire to ignore God ..World.

    Expect very catastrophic events in the near and long term.

    Sorry Bird, but you can’t continue in these fraudulent activities
    without my voice to counter measure it. Especially being accused
    of things I’m not doing. I had one word God in a very long posting
    and was accused I should leave God out 2 days ago.

    The worlds going into convulsions because we leave God out.

    Its only begun. Expect a world holocaust in the months ahead.

    STOP BASHING GOD !!!!!!! STOP !!!!!!! PLEASE…..THANK YOU…

      Apr 04, 2015 04:29 PM

      Heavy,

      I do agree with our comments about God.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:11 PM

        Do you think it is possible that God has forgotten that he is God and is currently sat on the upper deck of a No. 37 bus to Clacton wondering why someone doesn’t do something about all the wrongs in the world?

          Apr 04, 2015 04:38 PM

          Really its a very bad idea to argue with God.

          After all none of us would have gravity or
          the air we breath if God didn’t provide it.

          Or we can ignore the truth, just try living on
          the moon.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:05 PM

            I have been arguing with God all my life – still awaiting a reply 🙂

          Apr 04, 2015 04:16 PM

          Pick up the bible. It’s all there but its still human
          nature to question God. Lots of things we don’t
          understand but we must remember our foolish
          ways of man are not Gods ways.

          time. Its no different than anything else.

      Your misguided on this one HH, there is enough gold, its not the amount of gold, its the price or valuation of the gold that matters.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:41 PM

        bb, correct on the evaluation aspect but
        if we were to render mining activities to
        a much lesser production of the metal
        that would greatly impact the prices that
        much higher when this scam the central
        planners are conspiring containiing or
        capping the price. The purpose of my
        post was to point out Birds judgment
        is misplaced by trusting politicians with
        our monetary system and wealth.

        Not really an exercise in making the discoveries
        you suggest but point well taken.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:21 PM

          HH, the system(s) whether we talk of capitalism, socialism democracy or communism
          are entirely corrupted.

          I don’t see it making any difference what we use as a unit of account, gold or digits.

          I think we need a new system, whatever that is. But part of repairing would be to rid ourselves of the ruling psychopaths, until we figure out a way to deal with that, it wont matter what we use as money or what system of government we have.

          I could be totally wrong of course, its just what I think.

          And I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of them.
          Other than a first step is to recognise the situation.
          That in itself might be insurmountable.

          I agree with Bird tho when he says we have no need for more gold.
          A Politian would not agree,as it creates employment and they want the votes.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:57 PM

            bb…lots of truth in your words. Quite frankly, I agree with much
            of your commentary although we do need to expose dishonest
            behavoir in our monetary system. Gold has been doing that job
            for thousands of years. Roman Empire and many nations through
            out history prove this practice the politicians use of dishonest
            behavior is still on going today. I completely disagree with Birds
            warped philosophy and to trust politicians is a foolish policy or
            position to take. In fact, corruption is much worse than anytime
            in history.

            Again, excellent comments and points well taken..bb ★ : )

            Apr 05, 2015 05:52 AM

            One major concern bb…we have definitely entered
            a new paradigm and few..few realize this is a highly
            perilous time.

            The corruption and lawlessness is so severe I don’t believe
            gold is going to help anyone from all the pain this world is
            going to deliver to all of us.

            They must have plans to completely discredit holding the metals
            in The West. Its the boogie man enemy of the state. Obviously !

            Anyway, world war is coming as a result of a lot of matters including

            Rightfully so Big AL.

            Thats why I mentioned ” Good Cheer”.

            Personal attitude goes a long distance
            in respecting Gods Word as well. Just
            between you and me. Not pitching this
            to any non believers here.

            Anyway, we see perilous events and Gods
            Word matches the news perfectly.

            “Personal attitude”, we must face the reality
            of the world we live and accept the perils
            that exist. God told us what’s coming and
            to ignore it would be of a poor attitude.

    And the global elite want fewer people on this planet using less energy.

    Heck, in Colliefornia (as Ahnode calls it) they won’t even let us have plastic grocery bags and if you want a paper bag you have to pay 10 cents plus tax each. You won’t see a new nuclear plant in Colliefornia ever.

    As for mining gold the amount of energy and pollution in these locations is very high. The capital system works for the most part accept where greed is involved or governments that have the power to overspend. I remember may so called pros like Rob McEwen talking about gold being way higher years ago. Go take a look at his stock. I dumped about $250,000 of it at $5 and never looked back. Gold promoters and gold bugs get caught up in the lies and the ripoffs while one could have been making a killing on Tech and Bio the last few years. There’s a world out there and gold folk have the gold blinders on. I find it hilarious how stupid this is. This is Not all pointed at you HEAVEY.

      The world is in very poor shape financially and much pain

I travel all over BC and WA state and things are filing along. Bilding is brisk. I’ve booked $300,000 so far in my tiny cell communications company. My buddy just bought a house in Vancouver for $900k and you could not replace it for that. Numbers can fool people as over time debts will be absorbed. The only thing that could derail the debt and economy is an interest rate shock which I don’t see happening. I run a business that services a mult billion dollar telecom firm and nobody cares about this. I’ve been listening to the same dooms day crap for 15years. We could go another 15 befor another event. Meanwhile back at the potatoe farm all is well.
        China has more dry powder than anyone thinks and this is a large engine. The U.S. has issues but there’s a lot of bright spots when you don’t dwell on the negative. Peace out man

          Apr 04, 2015 04:11 AM

          You just are not getting it Bill. Believe what you want. OK.

          Its your path to destruction not mine. Gods not going to
          put up with a God rejecting world.

          THE EVIDENCE AND PROOF IS ALL AROUND US.

          The truth must enrage you Bill. Thats the truth.

          YOU ARE ENRAGED BY THE TRUTH..

          Apr 04, 2015 04:37 PM

          Dwelling on the negative is definitely a loosing proposition, Bill.

          I learned that a very long time ago.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:39 PM

            I have to add that I believe that you and Heavy are talking about two very different things. He is discussing non-secular issues and you are discussing secular issues.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:24 AM

            You said is Al!!

        Apr 04, 2015 04:35 PM

        Well of course, Heavy, eventually it will all end very badly!

      Apr 04, 2015 04:34 PM

      I agree with much of what you say, Bill.

      Thanks for the comment!

    Apr 04, 2015 04:06 AM

    Really can’t disagree with a word of what you write HH. As I’ve said before Birdman is Al’s Achilles heel since he f….s with everyone’s head on this site. Nor can we go on endlessly appeasing someone who is such a total Jekyll & Hyde. Keeping the peace only goes so far just like those who cry peace, peace where there is none.
    Jesus at this very time in our Christian calendar was surrounded by 12 disciples sort of wanting to keep the peace. Some of them fell asleep, with another denying him and lastly there was the outright betrayal by Judas.
    So for those who don’t like the religious element to any posts here, well you do well to bear in mind that many of the contributors on this site ARE Christian, and that the Christian message is absolutely central to fighting so much of the sheer wickedness we see all about us.

    As for those of you who understand may you have a peaceful and joyful Easter, and yes THE LORD IS RISEN. HE IS RISEN INDEED!! Andrew

        Thank you !!!!

          This is not a religious column. I’m more buddist than anything.
          This is an investment / political blog. Many many wars are over religion so that’s where your beliefs should stay at home.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:07 AM

            Good for you Bill. We are not religious here.

            God despises religious requirements and
            rituals.

            If I mention God in one of my posts I do not
            expect to be viciously harrassed and abused.

            If you are a Buddha believer thats your business.

            I’m a God believer and thats my business.

            If God..one word is in my post I will not tolerate
            anyone’s abuse.

            YOU UNDERSTAND ME..BILL.

            NOT TOLERATING YOUR HARRASSMENT….GET THAT STRAIGHT. .

            BEFORE ITS TOO LATE…your agendas don’t amuse me.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:31 AM

            Bill I hold Buddhists in high regard! Best, A

            Apr 04, 2015 04:43 AM

            God doesn’t. There shall be no other Gods
            before me as I am the true and living God
            of The Holy Bible ..God says..

            Idol worship fits into this buddah religious
            cult. Even if they claim buddah is not God.

            High peril of eternal damnation involved
            with this religious belief…buddah.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:53 AM

            In buddah religious practices do not recognize
            Jesus or God. Majority of the time.

            This is the unforgivable sin rejecting Our Lord
            God. Eternal damnation forever and ever.

            You deny him, he must deny you. He can’t deny
            himself.

            Its eternal check mate . Cast into outer darkness.

            FOREVER !!!!!

            Bill, Buddhist eh?
            I really enjoy the Dhammapada and the teachings of Buddha, very peaceful.
            As far as “truth” is concerned, I see the Buddhist “path” as being the closest to “truth”.
            Totally consistent with what Jesus talked about if anyone is unaware.

            Altho, I still have more to inform myself about, Hindu, Sikh for example.
            The Sikh “lights” have me intrigued.

        Apr 05, 2015 05:17 AM

        A listener and bill, can’t agree more. Though Al and Co are Christian should have nothing whatsoever to do with programming and info on the show PERIOD.
        Not for economic inquiry / investigation, not even for moral / ethical investigation or commentary!
        Moral / ethical discussions are certainly great but in no way shape or form does Christianity have any sort of monopoly on what is morally correct.
        Do I need to make points about how comical but sad I believe it is for grown adults to go on about jesus (a completely fictional character invented by man for the purpose of fear and control)? No, because I know believers have no wish to question their fundamental beliefs as such. If an individual is reasonable re morals / ethics, there is no need to waste time arguing about these things. The religious extreme on this site constantly bring up Christ (which the majority of us don’t want or need to hear about). Please respect that as we are trying to have rational discourse here in regards to some great information Al and Co as well as listeners bring forth!

          Apr 05, 2015 05:16 AM

          Sorry Jay the discussion was and message regarding postings.
          “because the other day in a very long post I mentioned one time
          “God” out of more than 200 words or so. Very long post regardless.”

          Jay, I was harrassed and very rudely abused being ordered never
          to do that again.

          Jay, that’s unacceptable. If the name Jesus or God is in a post this
          forum of fellow posters should not be vicious to treat others in a
          abusive manner.

          In all my commentary I will continue to post what I feel is important
          and maybe add some humor as well.

          Jesus or God in my postings as well if I feel its relevant or deemed
          something I should include at my discretion.

          Please note : I will also use inactive forums that no one is using
          communicating much more in deeper discussions regarding God
          and many other matters.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:27 AM

            Heavy,

            I don’t beli anyone worth considering does not want you to refer to God.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:26 AM

            God is just fine Al….. It is the manipulations that are wearing some people down.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:43 AM

            If God is just fine then stop the insults and harassments.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:41 PM

            God is fine.

            Heavyhitter is a religious manipulator and a Troll.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:31 PM

            Calling everyone here just about a troll. ..Bird.

            Manipulator ?? I recall, you calling Andrew the
            same when Big AL disciplined you long ago.
            With your foul language and calling people
            an arse.

            OK….Tough Guy …the Bird who can’t seem
            to EVER…fly straight for more than several
            days.

            You spend so much time here that thats the
            very first sign of Troll behavior.

            HA…its quite evident in your insults on the
            board and controlling everything that is said
            and done.

            Gold mining should be stopped !!! Who do you
            think you are.

            I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE. ..its not good.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:13 PM

            Last comment of this type Heavy. Okay with you?

            Apr 05, 2015 05:08 PM

            Tell Bird to stop name calling and making accusations.

            You never say anything. Look at his post.

          Apr 05, 2015 05:37 AM

          If people choose to discuss religious issues, that is okay with us. Nobody has said that everyone has to believe it or even read it.

          I agree, Jay, that Christianity does not have a monopoly on goodness by the way.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:54 AM

            Wake me up when we get to the discussion part and the “shoving it down peoples throats” part ends.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:01 PM

            One of your bad behavioral habits…pushing and shoving
            gold bear perma analysis. ..forcefully. .straight down

            ALL OUR THROATS… Nice Bird !!!!

            Close down all the mines. lol

            Apr 05, 2015 05:56 PM

            Sorry, I don’ understand your comment. I am pushing nothing down anyone’s throat.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:32 PM

            Referring to Bird.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:17 PM

            I was not referring to you Al.

          Apr 05, 2015 05:55 AM

          Jay..well said…I’m sure many agree….

            I agree of course.
            I don’t mind discussion on varied topics, but I think we merely need to keep in mind that investing is the priority of ALs site.

            I see nothing wrong with calling someones opinion “hair brained”, personal attacks are a different issue.

            Apr 05, 2015 05:39 AM

            Fair enough, B

      Great words of eternal wisdom Reverend Andrew. Thank you !!!!

      May The Lord keep our eyes open to know the truth.

      And to stand against those who do not want to acknowledge
      the truth.

      Gods Word will stand and God never changes.

      GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!!!

        You should all read the last few pages of the Daily Lama’s book about happiness. If I remember it correctly it says it all for everyone. Christians and everyone!

      Good bless you, Andrew.

      The Christian element is just fine!

    Adendum. Energy Consuption and Polution creation is ridiculous.
    Typing on my iPhone in my hot tub in this small field is tough.
    Buy a bloody olive farm and then you can have some cash flow some protection from inflation or deflation (food never goes down) and then you can hand it down to your kids. Because wages never keep up they will end up much more wealthy than their working stiff peers.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:59 AM

      Very true Bill.

      Still, we should not compromise our whole life for
      seeking wealth. Those that do are unpleasantly
      surprised. I have known a lot of wealthy tyrants
      and today they are very miserable people. They
      age very fast and all the money is not helping.
      They have to constantly keep up with all the
      responsibility of it. The

      Its a sad world Bill. Another bad habit the world
      is deeply involved in like never before the worship
      and idol of material things. One more reason
      destruction is coming. Farms are great though and
      just keep it all in perspective. MODERATION.

    Just curious if anyone’s read Deep Green Jobs by Glover. If so what did you think?

    Apr 04, 2015 04:51 AM

    Hey Heavy– its perfectly clear we can choose to believe in god or not believe in god.. what matters is looking out for others ,respecting others including their faith.We are a free thinking free believing society & culture.You come across as blabber mouth.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:05 PM

      I understand that. But if I mention one word in my very long post the other day “God”
      I do not appreciate the critical derogatory abuse and attacks.

      You apparently don’t understand. OK….BLUBBER MOUTH !!!!

      Its quite obvious great destruction is coming to this world soon.

      Utterly and forcefully blasphemy against God by almost everyone.

      GOD HELP YOU ALL. Abominations against God.

      Yes it is…Apocalyptic. Its here !!!! Open your eyes people.

      God said in the last days most would see but fail to see.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:47 PM

      If I am not mistaken, Agatha, that is exactly what Jesus said.

          Apr 04, 2015 04:31 PM

          Bird, Jesus said, not one is good.

          That makes all of us guilty and need of a savior.

    Apr 04, 2015 04:55 AM

    What Id be interested in knowing is why the U.S. is turning from Israel & Saudi Arabia and
    playing footsie with Iran…some devious, divisive agenda….
    comments anyone..?Chris Temple….?

      Apr 04, 2015 04:06 PM

      Agatha, that’s an interesting question. I’ve been wondering the same thing. What’s in it for us since we don’t do things just because we’re “nice guys”. It could be that Iran has formed a solid relationship with Russia and China and the U.S. would like to throw a wedge in that. Of course, you have the fact Iran is going to need a lot of help modernizing their oil industry.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:50 PM

        Your comment about Russian and China bears a lot of thought, Doc.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:14 PM

      I think it’s a setup Agatha. War is in the cards down the road and they (Iran) will pay a very heavy price if they secretly develop the bomb outside the inspection process and review. Perhaps the heaviest price of all. Let us assume nothing and yet conclude the obvious. And maybe that country will host the ultimate war theater when the day and the time arrives. I really don’t know of course but this is an Occam’s razor moment in my view. We must look at this problem at face value and impute the fewest variables and assumptions possible. Why indeed would an American President agree to a deal that has so many pitfalls and dangers inherent in its design? There is more to this than meets the eye.

        Apr 04, 2015 04:24 PM

        Agreed, Birdman

          Apr 04, 2015 04:49 PM

          The face value = Armageddon.

          Finally dawning on you people. Don’t give me the spin
          this is going to be a contained conflict and America
          will be the little darling that comes out of this with
          hardly any or no damages.

          ITS COMPLETE DESTRUCTION. Prepare !!!

          You….Tamaguchi’s are never going to wake up.

          Don’t message me.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:59 PM

            Take a look at the heat map on all of north Africa
            east and west its all blotted or plotted in dark red
            as to thermo nuclear war destruction.

            HA……Get out while you can.

            Mushroom clouds and 10,000 degree heat smoldering
            everything. Well, its very serious. : (

          Apr 04, 2015 04:54 PM

          OK, now I am afraid. If the brightest guy in the room agrees with me on this point then it is a high probability nuclear war will break out over the skies of Tehran some time in the next few years.

          And why should we doubt that would happen?

          If Japan paid the heavy price for arrogance and a refusal to bow to a superior authority…..and then she was subsequently bombed into submission in the last war is it really that unlikely our current Middle Eastern nemesis will not see a similar fate?

          The thing is though, I don’t think we will face an existential global nuclear threat. On the contrary it is my view that a proxy war between Russian and America will take place on a battleground that is the territory of neither.

          Iran is a key player in a hot contested region and probably the country that will host the conflagration this next time around. Her arrogance and unwillingness to bend are already the seeds being planted to make that sad day a reality.

          I am sorry to say this but my prediction is that Iran will take the nuke when the next one falls on a real city in our lifetime. That will be the lesson to everyone.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:04 PM

            You forgot about Russia with Allied Forces all over their borders.

            NOPE, NUCLEAR WAR IS A HIGH PROBABILITY.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:11 PM

            I disagree Bird, my guess is if nukes fly it will be Pakistan and India.
            Over water.
            There is an agreement between the two concerning a river they share, its not working.

            At one time I was familiar with the situation with it, but alas my demented mind losses memory of it so can not provide the scary details.

            But I do recall, it could come to a disastrous confrontation.

            Apr 04, 2015 04:52 PM

            bb…I know people in the real world who are of very
            high intellect who now come to the conclusion
            something serious is going to take place.

            Like you commented days ago even Marty is worried.

            Your on top of this crisis. .bb. We should not take it lightly
            or be complacent. Its very serious threat to mankind.

          Hope everyone is having a pleasant W-E.

          When informed and powerful people “up there” decide to do things that seem to not make sense for most of us “down here”… I suspect (a) asymmetry of information and/or that (b) we’re missing something down here.

          To get above the Rep/Dems debate (to which I am not part of as I think they all end up doing the same thing – ie taking care of themselves, and not of the average US Joe), I kindly remind ourselves that the Iran topic has been around for years. YEARS. Y-E-A-R-S.
          So no, this is not an Obama thingy. This was a G.W.B thingy before him, and nothing, nothing, n-o-t-h-i-n-g has been “done” militarily to that country for years (I’m not making a judgment and saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing: I’m just reminding ourselves of what has happened – ie in that case, nothing).

          So if nothing has happened for so many years despite all the threats, all the words and the bla bla bla by various US politicians (and their western puppies)… maybe there’s a (or several) reason(s) ???
          So back to my initial point: maybe there’s (a) asymmetry of information and/or (b) we’re missing something down here.

          Personally, if I say “I want to buy that stock, I want to buy it, I want to buy it” and I don’t do it, it means, that ultimately, I did NOT want to buy it.
          So likewise, if I have the means to punish someone and for years I keep threatening, does it mean I am serious about punishing that person ? or does it mean the opposite ? That’s an easy call I guess.

          Also, have we thought about the fact that IF the Middle-East gets “pacified” or becomes “more quiet”, that means MUCH LESS business for the US arms industry ? and also LESS JOBS at home back in the US ? Also fewer reasons for a US military presence in the region in the eyes of regional governments ? And therefore maybe “Bye-Bye the petrodollar” ?
          So, in this framework, what is the best for the arms industry and jobs back home + the foreign deployment of US troops + the US trying to keep the reserve currency of the world as long as possible: a unified and pacified Middle-East, or a region where geopolitical uncertainties are LEFT/MAINTAINED to last?

          Just asking questions… But back to my initial point again: (a) asymmetry of information and/or (b) we’re missing something down here.

          My 2 cents.

          Best to all,

            LPG,

            Good post and question. And yes, most are missing something. The nuclear deal with Iran sets a new standard ( and stance ) of what the US and the rest of the world are committed to. And that is Peace! However, there are struggles within government personnel that are good and evil. The evil being the ones wanting war. ( pretty easy to spot those bastards here in the states, if you know what I mean?)

            It is as you suggested the fall of the petro dollar. These bad guys just don’t want to give up the graveyard train of war. But, it’s over anyway.

            They are fighting the new financial system that is coming. They can’t stop it. My only guess why they are trying to stop it, is because they have put them selves at risk or in other words, stuck their heads in the noose!

            They are fighting what I’ve been telling you is coming. An asset based currency system. The restructuring of the whole financial system.

            If they can’t print money for war? Guess what, No More War…!!

            That’s the deal.

        Maybe you think for some reason that because you have been coming to this site for 3670 days that you are indispensable and you are a great asset to the Korelin Report.

        You are wrong.

        You ARE indeed dispensable since you yourself have become the Troll after all these long years in attendance. I am advocating for a thorough cleanup of this site and that may even include you being evicted. Good riddance! Make way for the new people as gold eventually moves higher and God Bless the old posters who have outlived their time on this site and turned totally negative during golds long decline.

        Enough is enough already. If you cannot be positive then be gone.

        The bullshit and trollish comments have got to end. So are you going to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution, friend? Right now you look very vulnerable to me. Your posts, like those of the other Trolls speak for themselves.

          This jobs number changes nothing, in my opinion. I’ll stick with my view that stocks will not crash but will enter a new cyclical bear market (within the ongoing secular bear). Martin’s melt-up scenario is not coming soon.

          Birdman says:

          Whew! Totally wrong Matthew. What leads you to the conclusion you just posted? Martin who happens to be a very bright analyst has identified capital flows and sovereign (bond) defaults as the reason stocks will be bid up. He is absolutely 100% correct in my view. The money has got to go somewhere. The thesis he has put forward states that there will be a shift from public to private as confidence is lost in so-called safe assets like debt. This is after all the end of the credit / debt cycle. We have nearly peaked just as interest rates have bottomed. You need to look back in history and see what happened the last time the same set of circumstances arose to appreciate why he is correct.

    Shadow of Truth Ep 14 – Bill Murphy: The Man Banned From CNBC For Telling The Truth

    Anyone who denies that gold and silver are manipulated either has not spent time examining the evidence or is financially incentivized to refute all allegations. In other words, they are either ignorant or willfully corrupt. This includes the entire universe of politically corrupt western Central Bankers and professionally criminal Wall Street bankers.

    All markets are manipulated. They are manipulated up and they are manipulated down. They always have been manipulated and they always will be manipulated.

    Anyone saying that gold was suppressed all the way from $252 in August of 1999 to $1922 in Sept of 2011 has an agenda and his agenda doesn’t include making money for you. And he’s totally nuts.

    Bill Murphy is a clown who has done more damage to those sane enough to realize gold is an insurance policy against financial chaos than anyone in the market. And if you don’t realize he has an agenda, you should go to the CFTC and read why he had the 2nd biggest fine in CFTC history.

      Bob, that is a very true statement. Folks take pot shots at you for not admitting what you did right there. Is Craig @ Tfmetals full of it for saying… So, the next time you read the doom-and-gloom predictions of some chart-reader or snake-oil salesman, please simply ignore them. Until the current system breaks, price will continue to be determined solely by changes in the USDJPY and the availability of physical gold to clear trades. At present, nothing else matters.

    Apr 04, 2015 04:42 PM

    Bob,

    You are 100% correct and it bears being repeated over and over no matter how much flack you might receive. The truth of the matter is people for the most part need someone or something to blame. Its just human nature and one of our weakest flaws.

    The greater gold and silver community in the 21st Century has been its own worth enemy for fomenting and regurgitating many of these crack-pot theory’s over the years.

    There must always be a boggy man lurking around every corner to substantiate or rationalize an investment thesis that may not be working out at any given time.

    The unfortunate and uncomfortable truth is that all markets have been and always will be manipulated in some form or fashion and have been from the beginning of the time of leveraged market environments. I’m not saying it was done with fairness or honestly at its core, just that it is.

    As it relates to the physical gold and silver markets, if you buy a coin or a bar you are buying the ultimate historical insurance of the last resort and you should view it’s ownership as just that. A valuable transitional asset combined with a wide range of other protective assets should be your goal as a balanced portfolio of assets.

    If you are buying mining companies traded on the global paper markets you should fully understand the inherent imbalances with in those markets.

    By placing funds as a shareholder with exchange traded companies is simply betting with the companies management to maintain a solvent balance sheet and/or grow that balance sheet through positive resource exploitation, and by its inherent paper associating is positively a form of gambling.

    Bob you’ve been saying it for years and it still holds true today.

    No one has ever made a damn penny off of worrying and complaining about market manipulation.

    Just go out and invest in the best management teams with excellent financial stewardship with the best assets in the safest global jurisdictions and not even a manipulated market can stop your ultimate profits from being realized.

    V

      Apr 05, 2015 05:41 PM

      Vortex…that is total bs. If markets traded freely, owners of mining shares would be fairly compensated for risk and miners would be able to pay their workers a decent wage to match the risk and health issues they aquire. You should read MOAMOPE by James McShirley

      Condoning criminal behavior says enough.

        Apr 05, 2015 05:54 PM

        MTF,

        Your nasty, disrespectful and mean-spirited reply to me was out of line and completely unnecessary. You should be ashamed of yourself for misrepresenting my position when in-fact you have no idea what it is.

        No one here including myself or Bob Moriarty, who I was originally responding to and agreeing with only on that topic have now or ever in the past condoned any criminal behavior of any kind as you implied.

        Manipulated markets are a fact of life and have always been so to some extent, whether you can wrap your mind around those facts or not is a cross for you the bare.

        Being rude and fabricating a story-line that is not true doesn’t advance the respectful discussion of community peers and it damn sure doesn’t change the historical evidence of market lawlessness through out history as it relates to human greed and financial advantage.

        I never said I condoned the lawless elements of manipulation nor am I a damn apologist for that greed induced activity that hurts everyone of honest means.

        I suggest you get your facts straight next time before chiming in.

        Thank you

          Bottom line… Bill Murphy has done more than anyone, to bring the bs manipulation into the light.

          Bob on the other hand is in denial about the extent of it. A perfect example is overnight when the London Monkeys show up for work at 3:00am. Excuse the profit taking, when they trade the world supply of gold in a couple of sittings.

    Apr 04, 2015 04:16 PM

    Ebolan:

    Anyone loaning money to a Greek bank is going to get exactly what they have coming and they are going to get it good and hard. Greece is a serial bankrupt and no one with any sense would loan them a dime. Including those dumb enough to deposit their savings.

    From a mathematical point of view, nearly every government on earth is bankrupt because democracy as a form of government is little more than two wolves and a sheep arguing over what to eat for lunch. All democracies begin to fail when the mob learns they can vote themselves benefits.

    Greece is merely the first to go. They will be as a single flake of snow that started an avalanche. The very best thing that can happen is to have a massive reset and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men will be helpless to stop it.

    We are going to start the chain reaction on the 9th of April and who knows where it will lead.

      Apr 04, 2015 04:01 PM

      I agree. And some day it comes to the old USA. Remember Indy Mac? Remember the lines of people trying to pull their money out? I think people under the FDIC limit eventually got all their money but who thinks next time that will be the case? Does anyone seriously think the FDIC is anything but a joke?

      What needs to happen is for people to see “…these unforgivable truths.” They need to understand the government in this country and governments throughout the world are nothing more than crimnal enterprises.

      What has to be broken is the people’s knee jerk reaction to turn to government for salvation. Instead I’m afraid the next crisis will just bring on a worse form of jack-boot thuggery in the form of an even more powerful, coercive and oppressive government. The masses will demand it.

        I would not call the ECB gangsters, such. The idea started out well-intentioned.
        It created a lot of good infrastructure throughout undeveloped Europe.(Even including building a new port on the french side of St. Martin in the Caribbean but unfortunately you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. The extremities of Europe have been financially poorer because they simply have a different work ethic or attitude to the anglo-saxon races. I’m not saying worse than – just different.

    Al:

    I did some searching and came up with who you were talking about. I haven’t read the book by Bovard but I did finish the book by the Federal Judge Silverqlate called Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent

    http://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp/1594035229/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428212628&sr=8-1&keywords=three+crimes+a+day

    It’s not overstating the case to say our government today is little more than a gang of criminals. I read something yesterday that said that last month the police killed 111 Americans. Last month alone. Yet the police in Great Britain have only killed 50 citizens in the country since 1900. It’s pretty obvious that the cops in the US are utterly out of control and a bad license plate bulb or stop sign violation can get you killed and the courts almost always support the police.

    LBJ probably was behind the killing of JFK, Bush and Cheney lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan and have bankrupted the country. Obama can’t figure out who the enemy of the day is and at one time had five wars going on at the same time. Clinton uses a personal server for government business on emails that by law must be retained and when she gets a subpoena, she formats the hard drive. And she’s still in the race. Are they all nuts?

    We really need a reset.

      Good post, Irwin. This is a reminder that there is a cost to extractive industries giving us more of the materials we need (or want.) I’m not sure most countries are yet ready to get more serious about 1. getting by with less or 2. requiring safer recovery methods. Where the latter of those 2 is concerned, if today’s requirements, environmental and otherwise, were in place, it may well have prevented such larger eyesores and environmental headaches as the Giant Mine.

      Intriguingly, methods like block cave mining are coming about allowing for bulk tonnage recoveries completely underground. This will lessen the numbers of open pits somewhat. At the same time, lower grades challenge industries.

      Curiously, while the US government particularly is very tough generally where mining is concerned these days, it doesn’t care what damage fracking does to the environment. Places that never had earthquakes are having many. Water tables are being compromised. Methane is being released into the atmosphere at a faster rate, negating the supposed reduction in greenhouse gases by recovering and using larger amounts of natural gas.

      Bottom line is that where most things are concerned, the easier/safe resources have already been recovered.

      Good post Irwin.
      I saw that story but forgot the name of the mine.
      Kind of a big exclamation mark behind Birds point of we have enough gold and all gold mining does is harm the environment with no real benefit.

      A real benefit of capitalism, like building cities on Whale blubber.

          Apr 05, 2015 05:47 AM

          Al, gold is relevant only as we use it as money, we are moving into the future, there is a very good argument that gold is a barbarous relic.
          We now have to weigh the environmental costs of acquisition.
          Even if we decided to “back” our currencies with gold, we can do it digitaly with grains.
          I think we have enough, but we are still capitalist (supposedly) actually are system might be better called “creditism”.

        Totally agree Bird, the thing is people seldom deal with anything until it gets to a crises point.

          Apr 05, 2015 05:57 PM

          True enough bb. We are all still stuck in the old program where whales swam the oceans in groups of hundreds, Tuna were a nuisance for fisher nets because they were so plentiful and Cod spawned by the millions on the Grande Banks.

          So it is with increasingly scarce resources like metals. The plunder and waste mentality has not yet caught up with the reality of how we are squandering our environment in the extractive processes for minerals that sometimes do not add real value to our human legacy as stewards of the earth.

          I continue to advocate for an end to certain types of gold mining. As I said before…if gold is really so important then lets just trade on the certificates that represent ounces in the ground rather than dig it up and shit in our own beds in the process.

          So to speak!…………. I was being quite technical with that comment!

            Apr 05, 2015 05:11 PM

            Great idea for Perma gold bears to pitch.

            Gold is held incase of defaults not Broken
            promises of gold that is not tangible is the
            ground.

            Completely unequivocally disagree with

            Big AL….so what ?

            Bird made a ridiculous statement regarding golds role
            as protection in a financial default which is clearly why
            people own gold.

            Promises in certificates can be broken very easily and the
            holder will suffer a total financial loss. Very likely in a major
            credit default.

            Again, I have every right to discredit his poor judgment as this
            is a open forum for debates. Its called factual discovery and
            to expose fraud.

    Gold prices should experience a low volatility meltup before any high volatility event can occur. In the main prices should edge up out of the ‘skew’ in vogue since June, 2013. Derivatives trade involving gold futures are mostly based on CPI-ratings that might be absolutely correct mathematically, but that the CPI underestimates the 40-year inflation adjusted average by as much as ~$150/oz.

    A ShadowStats calculation of the $42 US gold price fix in 1969 in 2014 dollars reveals price adjustments to where the gold price is now. There’s a strong similarity between this price adjustment in ShadowStats and a notional 40-year CPI inflation adjusted average that may be too low. I think taking the 1969 gold price fix and adjusting it with ShadowStats is a fair appraisal of where gold prices should be, adjusted for inflation.

    Should interest rates finally see negative rates on US Treasury Bills and further along the yield curve, then gold prices should see strong advances.

    The danger that is on the horizon occurs when one portion of the global economy advances too fast that it loses touch with the basic fundamentals and the whole thing implodes into a Dark Age. If there was a massive civil unrest to the point normal commerce ceases to move, many cities have only a week’s worth of food. Those people will have to leave the cities and rob the suburbs or starve. Many have lost the knowledge of how to even grow food. With each step in economic evolution we leave critical basics behind. Do you remember the actual phone numbers you call or you just push a button on your cell phone?
    I think the Administration recognizes the danger to itself. Hence the militarization of police forces, Jade Helm 15 operations and the purchase of 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition, designed to kill, not maim citizenry. These are perilous times in which we live, governed by an Islam-leaning Marxist and a Congress intent on maintaining their jobs rather than working in the best interests of the country.

    FMT Interviews Keith Neumeyer of First Majestic

    By Turd Ferguson | Sunday, April 5, 2015 at 9:51 am
    In this terrific new video, Future Money Trends interviews Keith Neumeyer, the CEO of primary silver miner First Majestic.

    You’ll recall the Mr. Neumeyer made waves last year by openly stating that paper silver prices were manipulated. In this call, he discusses the industry reaction to his claims, the effect that lower energy prices is having and the currents status of mining, in general. Toward the end of the interview, there is also a discussion of the pending “global reset” that so many are anticipating.

    Additionally Mr. Neumeyer, along with Rick Rule and Eric Sprott, is launching a new company that will act as a “mineral bank” with the plan of acquiring high quality assets from distressed sellers.

    The original link and text can be found at Future Money Trends and I encourage you to click here: http://www.futuremoneytrends.com/trend-videos/interviews/fortune-buying-hard-assets-keith-neumeyer-interview

      Apr 05, 2015 05:43 AM

      A mineral bank!

      THAT is an EXCELLENT idea Agatha. Thanks for the link. I mean that is such a good idea it is one I could get behind and buy into. Without having heard the interview i can imagine it might contain resources other than just gold and silver. But it’s brilliant. I have to hand it to those guys if they can pull together a group of sweet assets at deep discount prices and then offer the opportunity for anyone to participate in a share of the ownership.

      That’s what I would call out of the box thinking.

        Apr 05, 2015 05:41 PM

        Rule and Sprott pumping more investments like
        Uranium that’s all been failures.

        Even those 2 clowns don’t realize we have entered

    Al, having done my bit for Queen and Country this weekend in helping with six grandchildren, I hope that you & your family had the rest you all doubtless deserve and need following your illness.

    However and I apologise to one and all for drawing attention to Birdman yet again. But I believe Al you need to recognise that this man impugns the reputation of your site, being as I’ve said before its potential Achilles heel. Not only do his posts exceed in number all other posts, their content is not as extraordinary as some might suppose. Nor is he as brilliant as one or two would mistakenly have us believe. Regarding his fracas with HH he BM has gone well over the top. Whilst as HH knows I do not agree with his end-time scenarios, he’s a good man and to my mind a fine Christian. BM on the other hand is repeatedly obnoxious to him, and nor of course is BM offensive to him alone. He’s called Bob Moriarty an anti-Semite along with others, while treating Matthew abominably and to a lesser extent myself. For anyone whose posts include that I rot in hell or who maligns the state of my marriage, or that my writing is somehow a financial flop has got serious problems. Just fleetingly and recently BM expressed a sort of contrition saying that he was too old to change, and it was the way that God made him. Well that’s to insult God. God did NOT make him in such a way that he’s incapable of ever saying sorry.
    And here’s the caveat. In one sense BM has come to monopolise this site, which is just how a narcissist works and would have it.
    Al, everyone knows you to be a fine and special person. But sometimes we need to rise above the role of being a peacemaker at all costs.

    Very best once more, Andrew

      The point is that all of you need to stop with the incessant the negativity. I am constantly on the defensive as you (amongst others) dog-pile me at each opportunity and think you have an upper hand with the momentum of the crowd.

      If I despise Western Priests I can assure you it is for good reason. But that does not make me non-pious or God hating as some might suggest. Meanwhile, you might make an effort to respond to some of the posts I leave that are positive rather than fixating on negatives all the time.

      And you can stop calling me NPD if you don’t mind.

      It is time to move forward and stop nursing old grudges, my friend. You of all people should be able to show some leadership in that regard if you really are a priest and man of the cloth. So walk the talk man and try acting with more grace and understanding.

      And STOP bringing up the past all the time!

      You have locked us all into a failing formula with constant grousing that is no longer even present. If we can’t move forward then we are just stuck in a rut that you will not allow anyone to break free of and move onward.

          Why do anything Bird. You know as well as I do. ..

          Life would be a bore without our….

          DONKEY LOVE FEAST !!!!!

          I think everyone is special here and without our different
          characteristics life would be very dull.

          We need our Big AL, Cory, all the guests, Andrew, ..J.., Tony, Franky,
          DT, V, Bird, Matthew, Bill, Shad, bb and anyone else I missed.

          JJ..too…. Everyone here is the way. .COOL..right Franky.

    Wow, Bird begins with the DOW, GOLD/SILVER and a gap, Andrew instantly attacks personally. wtf ??? Throw in DT for good measure, Yesterday it was HH in another entirely unprovoked attack with unsubstantiated allegations.

    Definate kids stuff, Christian kids stuff? Give it a break guys.
    Have you gone so far with your hatred you cant even see what you do?

    This is supposed to be economy/investing, leave your personal attacking somewhere else PLEASE.

      Apr 06, 2015 06:05 AM

      Not you again…MR. B.B. JUDGE

      All in the name of his Master as a false witness to support
      the evil and wicked deeds.

      Ha. .Ha…bb’s comical degrading behavior to himself.

      JUST HILARIOUS. You should join Barnum and Baileys bb

      You missed your calling. Clowns are very funny.

      Great entertainment. ..you made my day .bb

      ONCE AGAIN…Thank you for the Big Big Laughs.

      HA…HAAAAAAA !!!!

      Apr 06, 2015 06:13 AM

      You just don’t get it do you bb? Narcissism is a pathological problem for which you should offer some genuine sympathy.

      Apr 06, 2015 06:14 AM

      Thanks for the kind support bb. I kind of wonder if anyone else is paying attention besides you. These guys are picking fights out of the blue now when I am not even posting! Weird how Andrew wasted so many words to express his hatred.

      And for what? He is a Reverend?????

      Easter is a special time of year. It signifies rebirth, renewal, forgiveness and second chances. It is a time to mend fences and begin anew. When a Priest does not understand that symbolism it really beggars the imagination as to what kind of a leader they really were in their own congregation.

      Grow up Andrew. This is over!

        Apr 06, 2015 06:17 AM

        Anyway bb, let them carry on. I mentioned the other day my best choice is to just ignore their posts and let them hang themselves with their own comments. If it gets bad enough I will pm Cory directly.

          Apr 06, 2015 06:42 AM

          I agree Bird. Let it all end on this blog here. I told Big AL
          let bygones be bygones after he posted his recommendation.
          Forgive, be peaceful and cordial to one another. Agreed.

          Then you called me a troll and a manipulator.

          I have made many attemps to make peace.

          Please don’t bring my dear friend Andrew into this.

          He is a perfect example of good high principal values
          always being apologetic and kind hearted.

          Lets be friends and forget the past now.

          That’s my hope. OK….

            Apr 06, 2015 06:51 AM

            BTW..Bird…Please don’t do like last time we were making peace..you said ..

            ” grab a firecracker and shove it up my arse..and light the match”

            Something like that but close to what you said.

            Apr 06, 2015 06:03 PM

            bb… need not participate in our disputes either.

            He always aiming and misses the target by a long shot.

            bb …constantly degrades himself sticking his nose where
            it don’t belong. Like an old dog..coming around smelling
            everyone’s. ..behind.

    Apr 06, 2015 06:08 AM

    Wow
    Just got back this am in hot tub to read the thread. Down the drain or what? Al your a prince and like Switzerland.

    Rule and Sprott pumping more investments like
    Uranium that’s all been failures. These guys are a complete failure along with BM. I use to be o. A one to one with them. Had some $s with them. When you can’t move to another asset class with and open mind your a complete failure. The only guy with any brains left the firm along time ago. The fact is when your pumping an investment and have so much into it you can’t move. Or your a sell out for advertising$ Bob. Tech has been fantastic and that includes Bio. The Dow has had the greatest run in history and you spend your days pumping the metals then your ego is so big and your head is so fat it won’t fit on the pillow. There’s very few that can actually forcast anything these days.
    I swear the old Gold bugs were sitting around waiting for the opportunity to jump on OPM.
    That’s a con if you don’t know.

      Thanks Bill, Garth makes a lot of sense.

    Apr 06, 2015 06:19 PM

    He did and still does. No one gets it exactly but at the top in gold he made fun of the doomers repeatedly…and Yes the Dow bottomed and zoomed…
    I’m not interest in owning tech or the Dow these days..The easy money is long gone…Thinking of Ecuador….Tired of the over taxed over regulate social state I live in…BC Canada..
    Best

      Apr 06, 2015 06:53 PM

      I recall that Bill. He was ridiculed, pilloried and hung out to dry like an salted Cod by the gold camp. And he was absolutely right! Nobody ever said they were sorry. I hear his site has full time moderation these days after the gold bugs went nuts with abusive commentary and started flinging mud day and night….they just could not accept what he told them.

      Something weird about gold….just seems to make some people crazy. Wish I knew why.

        Apr 06, 2015 06:18 PM

        Whose site are you reeferring to, Bird?

          Apr 06, 2015 06:26 PM

          Garth Turner’s site Al. He is a past Canadian Parliamentarian and was the Minister of Finance (Revenues) as a Progressive Conservative. Named to the Order of Canada if I am not mistaken and has written extensively on politics and the economy over the years. Pretty bright guy actually. He is also a registered investment adviser in Ontario. His website if you are curious….

          The Greater Fool — by Garth Turner…..the Canucks in the crowd mention him frequently here.

        You pretty much said it Birdman….They just won’t let it go.

          Apr 07, 2015 07:55 AM

          Nuts eh? Kind of makes you wonder what kind of people they really are. This is about as bad as it gets when a small group just becomes irrational and rabid. Turns off their ability to think properly. I suspect it is just another example of herd behavior in crowds. More like mob behavior actually!

    Apr 06, 2015 06:18 PM

    Sure is something about gold, I wonder if its not in the dna.
    Silly maybe, but I wonder sometimes.

      Apr 07, 2015 07:56 AM

      OMG! Hahaha…I just realized what you were saying. Too funny bb!

    Apr 07, 2015 07:51 AM

    Last post here.
    I actually see gold bugs voting for the economy to collapse so their gold will go up.
    That’s nuts. There’s no assurance that gold would rise in the event. If you want insurance gold it is not. A farm may be then you can feed yourself lol.

      Apr 07, 2015 07:49 AM

      They are very negative thinkers Bill. They wish that the economy would collapse and everyone would then desire their stash of gold and silver. The bid would be enormous in that little world where the gold bugs would become the center of the world and the kings of commerce….and then we could all settle back into a hard money closed-minded economy once more.

      Funniest philosophy EVER! They are sure to be sorely disappointed. The tax alone will make the dream a nightmare. As if the PTB would permit that crazy bunch to rule the world. But God loves them even if Wall Street think they are all Kooks.

        Apr 07, 2015 07:38 AM

        Biggie…Biggie…Biggie ..can’t you see.

        All my gold chains make me feel real good.

        People think I’m rich and all my dreams came true.

        YEEEEEEEEEEEEE….HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!

        Look at me. Look at those big thick fat gold chains. ..

        HA…..look at the Arm Candy too. Very impressive.

        Fire up the Hot Rod ….time to….ZOOOOOM…

        GOT GOLD !!!! You wish ..bye !!!

          Apr 07, 2015 07:40 PM

          Why???

            Apr 07, 2015 07:53 PM

            Then…roll it up !!!!

    Apr 07, 2015 07:10 AM

    You nailed is Bird..
    I don’t think there is a end game….If things slide in a big way Debts will be absolved. There will be big write downs. Payouts will be 10 20 30 cents on the dollar and a way you. A friend in the town I’m in had a logging company that went onto the rocks. He just paid all his creditors 20cents on the dollar and he’s now back in business and just moved into his massive house…
    So when you have idiots like BM who is / was telling people to get their money out of the bank and into Gold or under your pillow its an absolute farce….
    I don’t believe anyone can predict how things would play out. This fear selling really screwed some people…When you read back of all these outlandish predictions that have been shouted for a decade……OMG
    The dollar and stock market were going to crash last year! lol I’m not saying I would buy them now.not a chance..I think the dollar is just consolidating now….IMO. The US has issues but the economy is better than most think….None of the gold bugs wanted or predicted and of these moves…Their FRAUDS

      Apr 07, 2015 07:42 PM

      Ha! So true the bugs did not predict any of this. Always on the wrong side of the trade. And they likely deserve to be there too with all their negativity and anarchist idealism…..but Bill, when you wrote BM did you mean Bob Moriarty or Birdman? You really had me going there for a second.

        Apr 07, 2015 07:26 PM

        You’re still guilty !!!!

        Apr 07, 2015 07:15 PM

        I was referring to Bob Moriarty. A guy that believes he knows all . He’s what I refer to a Repeater. He reads and then has a web site and warns other a of the pending end of the world. Pushes gold and promotes stocks and makes a fortune on ads. He is a ego maniac. clown. I’m not hat’s that goes on and how people fall prey to con artist that have no real market understanding or credentials. I’m no guru but I know bs when I see it. The best manager that Sprott ever had thinks he’s an idiot. At the end of the day the are a shit load of people out there giving advice that belong in jail.

          Apr 08, 2015 08:15 AM

          Too late Bill.

          He’s guilty as charged and needs to be sentenced.

          The minimum sentence should be no access to
          any kind of device or computer connected to the
          internet for a minimum of 3 years.

          Bad boys must be punished to cease and desist
          all operations. No more bars and conversations
          with the opposite gender either. Basically, he will
          feel like its life in prison and he will be completely
          be reformed from any fraudulent activities in the
          future.

          THE ONLY WAY TO …STAMP OUT FRAUD !!!!

    Apr 08, 2015 08:35 AM

    Agreed HEAVEY.
    Unfortunately this type of investing, in resources should be only for those that can lose money and understand the pitfalls in owning gold. I know a number of folk who bought into these investments late and the consiquences are devastating. When these markets peak they collapse and most of their share become worthless or go off the board. Even the best run companies are anyalated. We will get another bull? Soon….. I doubt it personally. Many innocent people were killed as virtually nobody warned. I know a couple analyst that did….1 in a thousand or less. Best of luck and let’s all just get along!

      Apr 08, 2015 08:37 AM

      Bill, thanks to guys like Sprott and Rule.

      We have entered a new paradigm so all investments should be
      looked at with a very very critical eye. IMHO.

      This is not the 70’s either. There is no comparison with 2 billion
      people in a global economy that are ready to work for peanuts.
