The NWS

And I'm not talking about the National Weather Service.

By the way, did you see this earlier this week? ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/post/national-weather-service-ammunition-solicitation-triggers-confusion/2012/08/14/3dc6b67e-e62a-11e1-936a-b801f1abab19_blog.html) OK, so I can understand the whole, "clerical error" thing but what the heck does the "National Marine Fisheries Service" need guns for, much less 46,000 freaking rounds? Seems like a bit of overkill to me, no pun intended.

Anyway...and when I say NWS, I don't mean NWO:

Or NWA:

Or the NWC:

Or even the NWF:

I'm talking about the NWS - the New World System.

Earlier this morning, I saw this post at ZH ( http://www.zerohedge.com/news/presenting-shocking-source-us-treasury-demand-past-year) and it got me thinking. In the post, it's mentioned that Japan has dramatically increased its purchases of treasuries while China has actually been a net seller. The question is asked: "What is China doing with their dollar reserves" if they're no longer buying treasuries? This is where ole Turd's brain started churning.

Two months ago, I wrote this: http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/3924/gonefor-good. At the time I wrote it, I expected it to be quite the bombshell within our little "goldbug" community. Instead, it was met with yawns and dispassion. Perhaps that is what I should have expected. I mean, seriously, BREAKING NEWS from a guy who goes by the name of "Turd"? Well, regardless, I stand by the facts of this story and the opinions contained therein. Gold continues to exit "the system" at a consistent pace, never to return.

I'm re-posting it today not because I'm out of material and I need to dredge up the old stuff to fill space. I'm re-posting it because this truly is a very important development and one that, because it's not on the national/internet radar, is being widely discounted and overlooked.

You see, no one on Wall Street or in the financial media has any interest in pursuing this story. The MSM and TPTB are completely invested in maintaining the status quo and they will do so right up to the point where the game is changed for them. China will continue to accumulate gold and silver. They will continue to refine and re-cast this metal into new, standard and official sizes. They will continue to sign and implement bilateral currency and trade agreements that bypass the U.S. dollar. And they will continue to open portals for the international use of the renminbi.

Then, one day, seemingly out-of-the-blue, they will announce an alternative...A New World System that offers some type of gold-backed, international trade settlement, utilizing a non-fiat and sound renminbi or perhaps an entirely new and distinct, gold-backed and internationally-recognized trade unit. One way or another, this is going to happen. The only question is WHEN.

WHEN this happens, the U.S and all the other fiat currency countries will be forced into revaluing whatever gold reserves they have left. This is the "global gold price reset at multiples higher" that I have mentioned before, the result of which will be extraordinary, near-hyper inflation and a dramatic devaluation of the existing fiat. Additionally and importantly, it is through this process that the debtor nations of the world (the U.S. being the largest), will "pay down" the majority of their current obligations.

Again, you must understand that I am extremely confident that this is how things will ultimately play out. The only question is the timing and the specifics regarding which country or countries will ultimately force the issue. For example, it is entirely possible that China won't act independently. Perhaps the major creditor nations will band together. Some consortium of China, Russia and India. We'll see. In the end, that part doesn't really matter. What does matter is that this is inevitable.

Please continue to use this time to add to your physical holdings but remember...The only metal you truly own is the metal you hold in your own two hands.

I kind of look at the possibility that now exists with declared gold reserves but with no substantiation that they exist in the quantities they claim to have.

It only has to be believable and declared a mandatory agreement by the BIS or G20 etc at a point in time where fear/anxiety and desperation  will make it not only believable but absolutely  needed and thus accepted. It's not like anyone will have a choice anyway.

If China claims at some point to have an equal amount of gold to the Us. (8,00 tonnes supposedly) I'm willing to bet (not really) that the US could very well turn around and say we've been accumulating the whole time and not saying anything about it and we have 12,000 tonnes or something like that.

Neither country will allow their reserves to be audited so at some point it's going to have to be a believable and acceptable number for both sides and they'll just move on from there. How China values or lets the rate of the metal float and adjust is another scenario altogether that I think the U.S. would rather see remain fixed. This remains to be seen.

Once the Euro sinks the USD will have less issue with getting too weak because the death of the Euro will necessitate the birth of the Yuan internationally.  In 2015-2016 and my bet would be that it happens after the next U.S election at that time. Sharing the reserve currency with China won't hurt as much if the USD picks up some of the slack from the collapsed Euro.  The Yuan and USD both benefit and it'll take the sting out of the basket rebalancing. 

Just some idle thoughts above and another $2 worth.

I have a doozy about what the significance of the tungsten/gold bars  mean and the significance and silence that they have been treated with. I'm a bit tired to get into it now. Maybe a reminder some day and I'll blaze that out.

I think it makes sense, especially in an unaudited CB/Treasury system here and abroad as far as gold reserves go.

Pretty Sad

I really like RT's Capital Account and to label Lauren Lyster as awesome would be an understatement. But, that said.. This is Russian TV, and I grew up when the statement "better dead, than red" was still somewhat in vogue.

My point is .. Look how far we have sunk when the only honest TV broker is Russia TV. Kind of puts things into perspective.

Assange/ANON

The dark corner of the interwebs is abuzz about this story.

Mobilizing occuring. texts, IM's E's going out to supporters of Assange and ANON.

Even if Ecuador grants asylum Assange still has to get on a plane. He's got the dirt, and knows where some of the bodies are. They

(US and West) cannot allow him to skat.

@DPW

Or China could simply say, "Sure. Here's our gold. We'll let an independent source audit it and allow an observer of the Fed's choice (to observe only the audit).

China could very well call the bluff in the Poker game of international gold reserves.

Think the Fed would want to risk calling China on it? I don't.

The same thing that happened in Russia has been here for decades.  It's been a coordinated effort and America has become too politically correct to discuss it.

Russia has had their crash, but they aren't out of the woods yet.  Just a brief reprisal IMO.

I think the RT of today is their version "Radio Free Europe" of 50 years ago.

GSR Revisited

Take a closer look at the gold-silver-ratio. See the similarity both in the price chart and the MACD behavior? It looks like the perfect starting point to make a violent move south. We all know what happened in the fall of 2010...most PM stock investors were pretty happy wink

Thanks .. You're right about the fear/anxiety timing. That's when all the magic (from their perspective) will happen and questioning/verifying will be thrown out the window. As you say, it just needs to be believable.

Will be interested to hear your thoughts on the Tungsten bars.. someday when you feel up to it.

Bank for International Settlements, Basel III & Gold

With all prognostications about the future of money it is important to keep in mind two things:

Firstly, the BIS has not only introduced the concept that Gold be a zero rated Risk Weighted Asset for banks (same as cash & some Gov bonds) with a decision due this year, but it has long stipulated that National Central Banks can treat gold held by banks as a 0% RWA at their own discretion from January 1, 2013.

In order to comply with this direction of the BIS the The Fed, the FDIC and the OCC have jointly issued a discussion paper for comments.

Given that National Central Banks can use their own discretion from Jan 1, 2013 I think it is a foregone conclusion that gold will be a 0% RWA under Basel III, which means it will have officially returned to the center of the financial system.

Gold price rises will then be pro-cyclical for credit creation...to infinity. 

Secondly, the IMF has a currency for settlement of international debts called Special Drawing Rights... in my opinion there is no chance that the international financial system will blow up without the IMF coming to the "rescue" with SDRs...that will be the Can-Kick heard around the world.

Sprott Silver Trust Update

Many of you have asked me if Sprott has received his silver yet.  The following Ed Steer comments tells us that they still have over 1.5 million oz left to fulfill it's mandate:
(courtesy Ed Steer' commentary)
 
 
Ed Steer reporting:
 
 
I got a call from David Morgan last night...and one of the subjects of our discussion was just how much silver that the Sprott Physical Silver Trust was still owed. A quick e-mail exchange with Nick [Hawkeye] Laird revealed that they'd already received 6,546,513 troy ounces of the stuff, so it appears that they still have a bit over 1.5 million ounces yet to go. I had guessed at 600,000 ounces in this space on Tuesday.

@eyeswideopen .. well spotted.

"Assuming Julian Assange evaded arrest outside the embassy, he could get into a diplomatic car. These vehicles enjoy protection in international law from "search, requisition, attachment and execution".

That could lead to the curious legal position of the Met having the power to stop the car - but no power to search it for Julian Assange.

Even if he got away, at some point he would have to get out of it into an aircraft - at which point the risk of arrest would return."

Pennsylvania Voter ID law and Jesus

In Pennsylvania now you need a gubmint issued photo ID to vote.  Aside from a driver's license you can get a photo ID but you need a birth certificate.  Those who don't have their birth certificate will have to travel to their state of birth to apply for one... Just like Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem to register, modern day republicans want elderly and poor to travel to their birthplace for their constitutional right to vote.

Damn Tricky of those Republicans, and religious too!

Libero's picture

Show Me Your Papers

Not only your birth certificate but other stuff too:

"When completing the application, you will need to provide:

  • Your social security card, AND
  • Your official birth certificate (with a raised seal), certificate of U.S. citizenship, certificate of naturalization or a valid U.S. passport, AND 
  • Two proofs of residency, e.g., lease agreement, mortgage documents, W‐2 form, tax records or current utility bill"

Were the Nazis so picky?

In keeping with today's topic,

I am not entirely sure if this was posted on this site in the past,

but it is most certainly relevant to today's topic.

Previously posted on info wars, is a video explaining how United Nations "peace keepers" will be ordered to kill anybody that does not surrender their guns.

Probably within the next month, our fearless leader Obama will be creating a false flag event in which he will deem it necessary to confiscate all guns for our protection.

Please watch this video as it is very informative:

http://patriotupdate.com/26189/troops-ordered-to-kill-all-americans-who-...

By the way, I have been researching this particular topic with great interest for the past couple months. I can say with certainty that Obama has no intentions of leaving the White House in November, or January, or any other time in the foreseeable future. He has a plan, and all of this so-called homeland security is part of it. He has been desperately trying to find a way to get all of our guns, and he is going to use the United Nations treaty that he just signed to do it his dirty work for him.

This completely EVIL man absolutely needs to be stopped.

Sensationalism about ammo

1) It is COMMON for police agencies to use hollow point ammo (JHP = jacketed hollow point).  FMJ (Full metal jacket -- where the lead of the bullet is fully encased in a copper jacket) is more liable to ricochets and "collateral damage" (innocent bystanders).  Some police do use FMJ, but I think most use JHP.  In general, all military use FMJ.

2) 46,000 rounds is not a lot, depending on how many officers there are.  I sure as hell want armed officers in my area to be well trained and well practiced.  A single officer can go through 1000 rounds easily in a year.  When I go to the range, I generally shoot 50-100 rounds in a single sitting.  And I'm not "training" -- I'm just trying to make sure I have a good and up-to-date idea of what I can and cannot do with my pistol in the highly unlikely case that I actually need it.  My guess is that it would take me between 2,000 and 5,000 rounds to get very good with my pistol.  Shooting a pistol well is MUCH HARDER than shooting a rifle.  (I'm not a pistol guy and I'm not well trained in the use of a pistol.  I'm a hunter and I am pretty good with a rifle.)

3) The use of the term "semi-automatic pistol" is completely redundant.  For all intents and purposes, all pistols are semi-automatic.  Off the top of my head I cannot think of a single example of a "non-semi-automatic" pistol.  (A revolver is not a pistol).  If you went into a gun shop and asked to see a "non-semi-automatic pistol", I'm pretty sure he would be very confused.

To me, that article is definitely sensational.

I recommend asking the next cop you see about it.  My guess is that he uses hollow points with a "semi-automatic" pistol.   The one problem asking is that sometimes cops look at you funny when you ask them about their weapon (happened to me a couple times).  Just tell them you are trying to settle an argument about something you saw in the papers.

Everything you say is not only possible but probable and in the works. I believe 2013 ushers in many new things that will seem brand new to most people across the world. These two area's you mention to me are afterthoughts at this point because I also believe them to be inevitable and a given when I mention other things.

I don't believe that the U.S. will use SDR's at all. I believe that the SDR will be utilized when/if the Euro breaks down and it'll be used mostly in the EU.  At that point I think is when the Yuan becomes more then a regional 'reserve'  currency (getting underway now in Asia and elsewhere) and come onto the global stage as the Euro fractures and SDR's come into play in that type of emergency.

I do not think the US will abandon the USD and will do EVERYTHING in it's might to preserve what they have to the fullest extent they can. I believe that's part of what were witnessing now as we reshape the global landscape while we can, because we can. They won't use the SDR because the USD was a once in a recent lifetime fiat achievement for them to accomplish. Just think what has happened since it's inception in 1913 and what it has allowed.

That's not something we'll toss away imo.  SDR's elsewhere in the EU and MENA? Maybe so.

Or USD because of the effect and influence of that 800 lb. gorilla is having and could have if pissed off and made unhappy? That's not how I feel or what I want,  but it is what I think is part of their equation and thinking on the USD moving forward.

And btw...anyone heard anything about those new golden hued $100 USD that are still 'delayed'? Didn't think so.

At some point they'll make a sudden appearance.

Kinda gotten out of the habit

MODERATOR

of making short term predictions but here goes.

I think the metals look to move higher overnight/tomorrow. Crude is currently basing above the old double top at 94.25 and the grains are stronger, too. Eventually this will translate onto the short term metals charts that look increasingly positive. A move through the 100-day MA in gold (near 1612) would send price back toward 1620 and beyond.

@Libero

I personally see nothing wrong with Pennsylvania's requirement that you prove your residency to vote.  Every state should do that.  Of course, if you are a democrat, you discourage this kind of thing because it hinders illegal aliens and dead people from voting.  Cuts down on votes for Obama, now, doesn't it?

Most people have drivers licenses.  For those who don't, getting a state-issued ID is not difficult.  Are there hoops?  Hell yes.  But for those of us LEGAL voters who have been disenfranchised by ILLEGAL voters, I say tough shit.

Silver "super wedge" update

This is a repost from a different forum:

Here's my wedge drawing:

I've seen people draw this wedge several different ways.  The picking of the trend points as well as the kind of scale used (linear, logarithmic, etc) make a big difference.

It is all a kind of voodoo guessing, but really the bottom line is that the most valid trend lines would be those which exist as valid in the minds of the market participants.

The violations as well as the subsequent (and immediate) re-traces back into the wedge indicate to me that both trend lines (as drawn here) are being respected.

Below is a zoom in of the last few weeks:

Last week I said that I didn't think we'd last through this week.  I've changed my mind at this point.  I think we'll stay inside this week and break up or down early next week.  At this point I'm strongly leaning towards a break to the upside, though I probably won't make any trades on this bet.
