Boots on the Ground in Southern Florida with Rick
Sorry this was not posted yesterday. My computer was down all day and I could not get it up and running until my daughter saved me at 7 p.m. Continuing today I will be putting up a daily editorial each day.
Her is news regarding Hurricane Irma from Mr. A.

1. It’s probably not a crisis. Crisis is a word used by big government types who are looking for another excuse to steal from citizens.
2. What happened to the war on drugs? Obviously, given government’s failure at winning that war, they ought not to even be considered for solving this “problem.”
3. What happened to public education (gubmint skools)? Can’t they teach American’s not to do drugs?
Conclusion: If we have a crisis, it’s because of too much government and not enough personal responsibility. More government (spending, programs, task forces, committees, etc.) is the wrong direction.
Very well stated Wayne. Agreed. Its an education issue, and more government involvement and resources fighting another losing “war” is NOT the answer.
This is the state …..not the Fed……which is bringing the issue to court…….The FED govt can not do anything right.
The Federal Government is pretty good at creating debt and raising the debt ceiling.
Yep, it does it better than the best of the totally irresponsible spenders!
The war on drugs is going as well as the war on poverty, the war on cancer, the war in Viet Nam, and the war on terror.
+1 Bonzo Barzini
I have personally not seen much in the way of results, Bonzo, pertaining to the war on poverty.
Now, the war on cancer, seems to be progressing fine.
By the way, a really interesting book kind of dealing with this is “A Crack in Creation” I highly recommend it.
As far as I know it is, indeed, a crisis.
Doesn’t mean the gov’t is the solution. What they could do to help is to stop sheltering the pharma criminals. the Drug War is a farce.
I was in the Spokane area in about 1997 or so, around Christmas time. On the news they reported that 75 meth labs had been busted that year in Spokane County alone.
They hook people, especially women, on anti-depressants in an incredibly predatory way. Emotional distress? Here, take this dangerous, highly addictive drug. Since 1990, 42 of 50 school shootings have been under the influence of these drugs.
I imagine they hand out the dangerous, highly addictive pain-killers like candy too.
There is definitely a drug crisis in the US. Legal and illegal drugs. The primary reason, imo, is the poisoned reality that the oligarchy has created in the US. When everything important is a lie, people will suffer mentally and emotionally. Who is lying to us through the mass media 24/7?
In most cases there are better ways to control pain than what mainstream doctors will offer. But you’ll usually have to find out about it without their help. Take responsibility for your own health–the info is out there for those willing to look for it.
It could be tied to 22% unemployment, 50% unemployment in some groups, off shoring of jobs, maintaining low interest rates for savers, transferring wealth to the .001%, corrupted Federal Regulators, Washington lobbyists, Citizens United, robots, educational costs, false accounting methods, lack of criminal prosecutions…to name just a few.
I’m sure all of those contributing factors play a part in the stress the citizens feel.
But wait David! Isn’t the war on poverty supposed to stop all of that!
Great comments GH. Agreed.
Al: The war on poverty appears successful as many poor people have lost the war. Did I get that right?
GH, I started reading a book called “The Fine Art of Not Giving a F**k.
It is a very interesting and sensible way to look at your life and I highly recommend it.
A lot of the dangerous and personally harmful activities people subject themselves to would be eliminated if they simply read this book.
Of course, I completely agree with you Wayne. Just another part of the “if it feels good do it” mentality.
I am very lucky because I found out a long time ago that prescription pain killers make me sicker than a dog, thank God!
I was in NYC a few years back and like many tourists I visited Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was amazing. One of the biggest gallery over there was named Sackler gallery. I was so impressed by it, I wondered who the donor was. Was he a big Wall Street guy, etc.? Nope. The guy is the owner of Purdue Pharm which started to market synthetic heroin and then went on to create the current national opoid crisis single handedly!!! The lesson learned: You can make zillions selling opium legally!!!! LOL
Good one………..
Yep, it is a HUGE problem and Seattle is at the height of it among other cities.
The assumption by many that somehow the intense hurricanes of 2017 are due to Global Warming and CO2 is wrong. I am an scientist, with several environmental science degrees, and 40 years of experience. I am sick and tired of the media and politicians preaching the lies of global warming or climate change. By far, the main driver of Earth’s climate is the Sun. There are solar cycles of 11 years, 104 years, 206 years, 400+ years, 1600+ years, etc., etc. These cycles control our weather. They are predictable, if one only stops to observe them. We are currently right on the door step of a serious decline in the energy output of our Sun. The Sun and temperatures just had a double peak in 2016. We have entered the decline into a Grand Solar Minimum. During grand solar minimums our planet always has much colder temperatures and also much wetter conditions. Al Gore and his disciples will be praying for global warming in just a few years from now. During the last two grand solar minimums (The Dalton Minimum (1790 to 1831)& The Maunder Minimum (1635 to 1715)) crops failed worldwide. Starvation and the downfall of empires always occurs during these minimums. For those of you that are interested in properly educating yourself concerning what is about to occur over the next several decades, then I suggest you search, read, and listen to any are all of these scientists: David Dilley http://www.globalweatheroscillations.com
http://www.climatedepot.com ; David DuByne at Adapt2030; John Casey’s books “Cold Sun”, “Dark Winter”, & “Upheaval”; The Grand Solar Minimum Channel with Jake and Lee Wheelbarger; Ben Davidson at SuspiciousObservers.org – “A Weatherman’s Guide to the Sun”; Lord Christopher Monckton; IceAgeNow.com; Rolf Witzche “Ice Age of the Diminishing Sun”; Willie Soon; etc. Also, look at the recent work of astrophysicist Valentina Zharkova. Global temperatures will drop dramatically from 2017 until the winter of 2024/2025. By 2021 of 2022, global crop failures will show everyone what real climate change is. And this grand solar minimum will last for the rest of our lives and our children’s lives. I don’t really care what global warming/climate change believers think or don’t think. It doesn’t really matter. The Sun doesn’t care. It just goes through cycles. And this is a Big One! And the Sun’s got my back.
Thanks Barry, all we can do at this point is wait and see if you are correct.
Barry already knows he’s right. The science is on his side.
BOOTS…….great……..OOTB
Walgreens and Rite Aid have finally devised a combination of the nation’s largest and third-largest drugstore chains that will get past antitrust regulators.
The companies said Tuesday that they have Federal Trade Commission clearance for a slimmer version of a store-purchase agreement announced in June. Walgreens will now spend $4.38 billion on 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and inventory.
The drugstore chains had said earlier this summer that Walgreens planned to spend about $5.18 billion on 2,186 stores.
That deal marked a step down from Walgreens’ initial plan to take over Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based Rite Aid Corp. for $9.4 billion. That deal spent a couple of years in regulatory review before the companies abandoned it.
Deerfield, Illinois-based Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. says the latest deal should be completed by spring.
A drug store on every corner….. so mote it be!
No money in drug trade, CFS!
Nice to have you back, Big Al.
Great interviews going on at:

Thanks Professor, truly great to be “back in the saddle”!
The problem with anthropomorthic climate change theories is very simple.
How do you explain the fact that ice cores show that there has been an earlier period in history when CO2 levels were much higher as were temperatures, but that then the climate changed to the cooler. i.e. that CO2 levels could not be responsible for warming.
At one time the earth was hot, alot of clouds,low gravity.
And it cooled, your talkin millions if not billions of years.
which we know is not true cause weve only been here 5k years.
The earth went thru 5 mass extinction cycles/events in that time, our current mass extinction is brought on by us, thats the dif.
Ive been told the scientist that coined the phrase “global warming” wished he hadnt, he should have said climate change, some places get warmer, others colder so we get people arguing we are not warming.
You dont need to be a scientist to see we are warming, look at the poles and glaciers, the ice is melting.
A simple experiment, take an ice cube from the freezer, put on your counter and see if it melts.
I know, but ice melts when….it gets warmer.
For effects such as pine beetles destroying forest or warm water fish moving north warm oceans creating stronger hurricanes etc
explanations from scientist might help
But really, ya only need half a brain and your own eyes to see whats happening.
The comment that Rick made, governments collecting cash to help things, I tend to agree with.
At this point tho there doesnt seem to be another option.
Maybe that massive tech left to us by the aliens…who knows?
The obvious fact of a constantly changing climate has nothing to do with the controversy, which is whether or not there is problematic, anthropogenic climate change. And even if there is, do the proposed solutions make sense?
Perhaps he should look into the carbon cycle.
That’s what he’s attempting to talk about here.
All living things on earth contain carbon.
Where did all the elements on earth come from? Well, it’s this thing called “the Big Bang” or maybe you prefer something else. To each their own I suppose.
Either way, there is a set amount of carbon here (on earth). Again, perhaps a brushing up on elementary school science is in order here.
Theories are testable – okay… a good hypothesis can be tested yes. That’s a part of the scientific method. I may be missing the point of the comment.
The temperature is measured with a thermometer.
If you have one sitting in your house it will tell you the ambient temperature.
As for the earth’s core, if that is what you are referring to, scientists use seismic waves to determine what the earth is made of, and based on that and the fact that there is a magnetic field on earth they believe it is made of iron.
We have determined the melting point of iron and therefore can estimate the temperature of the earth’s core.
Burning fossil fuels is in no way carbon recycling.
Burning oil moves it to the atmosphere, it doesnt recycle back to the earth.
I think most environmentalists want to avoid destroying the planet in short. We only have the one you see.
A response from a scientist friend of mine for ya Wayne.
Deforestation and tilling soil have released huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. I’ve come across more than one soil scientist that says a transition to no-till permaculture, even for just 20% of global food production, would remove the supposed excess CO2. Not a bad solution–a dagger in Monsanto’s eye AND an end to using AGW to leverage global governance. And much better for the environment and our health in general even if AGW is BS.
b,
You mean the folks who landed in Arizona and stole all the women!
It’s a model. Theories are testable. Besides, how do you measure the temperature of the earth? Where do you stick the thermometer? When do you read the thermometer? One other thing. Where did the carbon come from? Burning fossil fuels is carbon recycling. What do environmentalists want to do, starve the rain forest? Trees, all plants, need carbon dioxide to live. No carbon dioxide means no plants means no food means we’re dead.
I did not know that, Professor.
Al & Cory,
I think you both do a great job with the interviews on this site. No need to push yourselves to do more and more – you both do more than enough already, as do many of the regulars like Rick, Chris, Doc, etc.
Thanks for the interesting and informative discussions.
Thanks back at you, Bob UK
“Where the f*** is it?” Al, I think you forgot to edit that part out.
Sorry Wayne, what are you referring to?

TOPIC: Theralase
With a flurry of news releases, I am guessing TLT is getting ready to announce ANOTHER bone-crushing Private Placement that will tank the stock price by 25%-50% …
Found effective in tbe treatment of lung, cervical, throat, bladder cancer according to press releases, and stock goes down to 39 cents. Look for a criminal among the market makers.
Or simply people who don’t believe the news, David
We have severed ties with Theralase. Sorry Brian
Theralase is one of my favorite companies – I just get very frustrated with the reality of stock markets. Theralase should be worth at least 3X the current market cap, based on Phase 1b results and potential for other cancer cures. I just don’t get it – maybe David is correct, unethical manipulation of the stock (Spoofing/Layering, Warrants, Running stops?). It seems to be capped at $C 50 cents.

I have been building my position in MMG these past few weeks – I may add one more block of shares this week. The announcement today is really interesting, as drill results are imminent and they just added a LOT of new land for exploration with histoic grades > 100 OZ/ton. I think AXU/MMG is a great pairing for an investor interested in PURE SILVER explorer/developer/miners AND in the YUKON area.
As we have been discussing, one approach to junior mining investing is to hold 2-3 companies in the EACH area of the world you like the best, for whatever reasons.
Yes, Brian, I agree with holding 2/3 positions in an area play, and the Yukon is finally getting the attention it deserves. Yes, I’ve been watching MMG with keen interest and invested in them last year on a good run when they were Monster Mining. 🙂
Their CEO Greg Johnson was the old CEO over at Wellgreen when I was a shareholder in them but was replaced by Diane Garrett, who is more competent at getting mines built. Greg is great at exploration though and he is the right kind of CEO to have at MMG at present to expand their resources. Yes, when Alexco gets into production next year and gets the cashflow coming in they very well may want to merge with MMG to consolidate the whole Keno Hill district. Also, if memory serves MMG has land over adjacent to ATAC Resources. I could see them spinning that off separate from the Keno Hill land package as well, or selling it to raise funds. Right now I’m in a nice position with AXU and have considered MMG, but really want to ride the “Golden Runway” into production with Alexco first.
Cheers!
Hi : my nephew is now supervising repair and fire and rescue workers from Howard co. MD working in KEYS . He is very experienced from katrina work in past. I know the KEYS from US Navy days . they are a VERY FRAGILE eco system and really only a few people should be allowed to live there. USA and FL gov. should BUY OUT the residents and make them move to northern FL or interior Alabama or GA. I know this would require a constutional amendment to do. bestof health and wealth to you all. Scott
Stewart says: “Gold and associated assets are clearly poised for an enormous increase in institutional ownership. This buying is not event-based. It’s based on portfolio allocation to gold as an asset class, and that means the buying will be sustained.”
http://www.321gold.com/editorials/thomson_s/thomson_s_091917.html
Stewart is right and this means that the miners can do very well even if the stock market continues to levitate.
Last time that I spoke with Doc that is exactly what he said
