Yes, Foxenburg. Living in the EU, I am only too aware of the limitations of the Parliament. That's why their pay and perks are so offensive. That is also why it is full of deniers and zombies. Powerless and worthless - except a few, like Farage and Hannan.

However it is sociopaths that inhabit the Commission and are  heads of state. They are the dangerous ones.

Sociopaths

Sociopaths are the heavy-metals-poisoned, brain-fried human monsters who rage through society, threatening others, running scams and committing fraud. They are the quacks, the hucksters, and the killers. In the medical industry, they're the doctors who enjoy delivering electroshock therapy to children. In the dental industry, they're the dentists who put patients under with anesthesia and then rape them in their chairs. In the natural health industry, they're the hollow-eyed monsters selling toxic "miracle" products that poison your brain with aluminum or mercury.



Do not confuse Sociopaths with Zombies. Sociopaths are usually brilliant wordsmiths and often acquire powerful skills of social influence. Many are even able to attract a kind of cult following, which they often exploit for their own mass death agendas (Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Marshall Applewhite, etc) (http://www.naturalnews.com/036112_sociopaths_cults_influence.html).



Sociopaths are completely incapable of feeling remorse, compassion, guilt or shame. This allows them a surprising tactical advantage for gaining power in both the corporate and government worlds, where being a backstabbing psychopath is the fastest way to get ahead. This is why Sociopaths often rise to the top of government agencies and globalist corporations.



Sociopaths are fantastic liars. They lie just as easily as putting on a pair of sock in the morning. They lie so well that they often fool themselves into thinking they are telling the truth. Their lies are skillfully woven around a tiny shred of proof to make them believable. Sociopaths believe that whatever they say becomes reality merely because they say it. Weak-willed people are easily fooled into thinking that sociopaths are "gurus" or prophets.



Roughly 4% of the U.S. population are sociopaths. There's even a book written about this: The Sociopath Next Door. (http://www.amazon.com/Sociopath-Next-Door-Martha-Stout/dp/0767915828) It says:



In The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people -- one in twenty-five -- has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in twenty-five everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your colleague, your neighbor, even family. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt.

How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They're more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others' suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.



Sociopaths are found everywhere. Bad cops areSociopaths with a badge. Many regulations agencies are staffed with power-tripping Sociopaths who get off on the misuse of their power (TSA being the classic example).



Sociopaths almost always have a history of child abuse, and / or mutilating small animals.



Summary of the Sociopath Archetype:

Cognitive capabilities: High.

Moral compass: Chaotic. Varies wildly from saintly to demonic.

Desired agenda: Mass death.

Worships: Himself.

Typical dress: "New Agey" or ragged clothing.

When you're not looking, they will: Molest your daughter.

Jamie Dimon Hearing, Explained: “Frustrating, Maddening and Comical”

I'm wondering what could be accomplished and learned if we motivate REAL terrorists like this JD schmuck, the way we "motivate" SUSPECTED terrorists?

Nobel Prize Winnings Slashed 20 Percent

The sagging global economy has caused the Nobel Foundation to scale back cash prizes to $1.1 million

Now more than ever, those vying for a Nobel Prize aren't in it for the money.

Cripes! I could save them the entire amount! Don't give it to wannabes.

Ooops. My previous posting was supposed to contain a chart of the gold/oil ratio as well. Here are the annual averages with WTI spot for oil

And here are the daily values, but with Brent (note that Brent sets the price internationally whereas WTI is trapped in Oklahoma and is difficult to export):

Apart from 2008/9 (an the end of the 1980s), the ratio looks remarkably stable, doesn't it?

Sincerely,

Victor

so here is one to cheer everyone up.

Wall Street's Buffett, Blankfein predict 'tough' economic times ahead of election
http://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/232245-blankfein-buffett-predict-to...

..of course they have had a big part in the creation of it.

it seems like a few different bloggers are increasing the intensity and shortening the timeframe for their predictions.  does anyone have more info on this?

the writing has been on the wall regarding banks, european banks, governments, wars, middle east, for a long time - has anything changed that would lead us to believe something is around the corner (within days or a week)?

I also read that by Rawles. It is quite disturbing & I am not sure if I'm ready to follow the advice. It seems very drastic. But, then again, losing everything is even more so. Looking for answers. I surely won't get it from my UBS guy (got money holed up there in a CD & some more that matured & is not earning anything, which I am getting ready to yank due to these rumors) or my accountant. By the way, it's only at UBS because that's where my Mother had it in stocks before she passed in 2005. Me & myt siblings took it out of the Exxon stocks & I converted my portion into CDs because I didn't have enough knowledge about the market to invest in anything else. I have been voicing concerns of an economic collapse for at least 3 years now & they look at my like I'm crazy. I really could use a financial expert with a crystal ball.

I also have another question. I was on ebay just checking out prices & got to wondering why are these people (not coin shops, but individuals) who have purchased monster boxes are selling? If they bought it cheaper, why sell, just hang onto it.  The only thing I can think of is that they are selling off to have cash for bills, as needed. I have read that the currency of the elite is gold & that they just keep converting it to dollars as needed. So, I wonder if they are simply doing the same thing on a smaller scale. Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious. Any thoughts, anyone? Just curious.

I went back to work at 56 1-1/2 years ago. Couldn't find anything in my administrative field, ended up taking a PT retail job that started at $7.50/hr. Better than nothing I figured. I'm still there. The bright side is it went to FT, pays $10.50/hr. (still crummy) now & I get benefits. Husband is self-employed in construction (ugh) & we were taking $2000/mo. out of savings for health ins. every month. I got fed up with that, so at least I'm earning the benefits now. Also, I could actually walk to work if I needed to. Hey, I've been trying to be proactive.

I realize I'm divulging alot here, but WTH. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Just read a couple of comments & it seems others are asking the same question. We need a crystal ball.

....to make money.  As to the rest of your post, I think everyone, esp. those on this site, are asking the same questions you are.  Best advice would be to use PMs as a hedge.  I wouldn't "throw in the towel" on other forms of equity just yet.  You have to do what makes you most comfortable.  Personally, I don't think an economic collapse is in our immediate future.  However, I don't have all my eggs in one basket.

I watched that and it was almost funny. They're lucky someone didn't have a rifle from the other side.

Also, at the end it looked like they were burning giant 'snakes'.   Anyone remember those little black pellets you set on fire and they smoked and grew like a snake? They were always around during 4th of July.

TF - That was a pretty good magician. I haven't been hanging around here long enough to know you, but is that your way of saying "Lighten Up"? By the way, I love this place! So glad I found you.
