WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland said on Wednesday the volume of gas it has received so far this week from Russian gas monopoly Gazprom was down by at least 20 percent.

Some European countries believe Moscow may use a disruption of gas to Europe as a trump card in its confrontation with the West over Ukraine. The row has already dragged ties between Moscow and the West down to their worst since the Cold War.

Ukraine's gas transport monopoly Ukrtransgaz was quoted by a Russian news agency as saying Gazprom was limiting flows to Poland to disrupt supplies of gas in the opposite direction, from Poland into Ukraine.

Kiev is already cut off from Russian gas in a pricing dispute and depends on these "reverse flows" to supply homes and businesses with gas.

Gazprom made no immediate comment. Polish gas monopoly PGNiG said it was trying to find out why volumes were down.

There was no indication that any European Union importers of Russian gas besides Poland were affected.

Slovakia, a major hub for Russia gas exports to Europe, said volumes were steady, and operators in Hungary, Bosnia and Serbia said there was no disruption to their supplies.

The reduction in supplies appeared to focus on the Yamal contract, the main route by which Poland buys gas directly from Gazprom. That route includes two pipelines that pass through Belarus and one via Ukraine.

PGNiG said in a statement, on Monday it received around 20 percent less gas than contracted and around 24 percent less on Tuesday. It said customers had not been affected for now, and the missing volumes were being made up from other sources.

The Polish firm said the reductions in gas volumes were noted on the Belarus and Ukraine routes, but did not give a breakdown of how much gas was missing from each pipeline.

Igor Gorsky, a spokesman for Gazprom Transgaz Belarus, the Gazprom subsidiary that operates export pipelines via Belarus, said: "There have been no extraordinary situations from our side, or any maintenance work, which could have an impact on supply volumes."

Its interesting  - a peace plan presented just before the NATO meeting for the Ukraine and Sanctions on Russia just before the SCO meeting - yesterday and today I think

You'd think one side is aggressive and the other side bending over to avoid confrontation - probably just me or as Ivars would say - just part of the game
 

FWIW

GDXJ, 60 Min. View

September 10, 2014Precious Metalsgdxj

Today we find out if it was just another short covering rally at the end of the day or the start of a decent bounce.  The failed attempt at the end of last week did allow GDXJ to build in some positive divergence with a lower low as HUI satisfied 220, a technical target (there’s another potential and valid target lower).  But it’s just a 60 minute chart, so the divergence is minimized.  Ladies, place your bets!

God only knows but Harvey pleads a good case.   Better ask Turd !

The House voted to condemn and disapprove of the President's irresponsible decision to release the Taliban 5 in exchange for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Because he did not notify Congress 30 days prior as required by law, the President broke the law, ignored the Constitution, and placed all American families at risk. These 5 terrorists were considered “high risk” and dangerous with extensive ties to al Qaeda. They have the blood of American soldiers on their hands and are fixated on destroying our freedoms. At a time when our brave men and women are still fighting the Global War on Terrorism in Afghanistan, this decision further places our heroes in harms way. A bipartisan group in the House overwhelming supported this bill, which holds the President accountable for placing our national security at risk.

Afghan Taliban Say they Won Big with Bergdahl Swap

A crisis in leadership had the Taliban demoralized and divided. The release of five of their top men from Guantanamo may have solved that problem.

This morning SHFE September was 4200, while Comex was around 3750, giving a premium of 450 yuan or around 12%. This is the highest it has been recently by a long way. Front month which goes off in a few days has gone up far in excess of the others, increasing backwardation to later months to much higher levels around 150 yuan or 4%. This looks like an early small scale local panic for physical. Chinese prices include VAT but of course VAT is not paid by smugglers, so the equilibrium point for West/East flows is well below 17%. This is OT I know but nobody appears to be discussing this, so thought it should be out there.

The SHFE board is here: http://www.shfe.com.cn/en/products/Silver/

i talked to several silver jewelry dealers, they don't see any tightness.

the buy-back price of silver bars enjoy a 10% markup over comex price too!

the separation of paper and physical prices are the prelude to the liberation of silver prices!

i hope this will last forever!

are make or break career calls-and he is past his prime

I personally do not follow Organ at all, as he regurgitates everyone else.

But I agree to hit his targets the shit hits the fan. Who really knows when that happens?

the basis for his call is the world finds out that there are multiple claims on each ounce of gold--could have said that in 10 seconds.

I've been around long enough to see many predicted dates for total economic collapse come and go....and I am not that old.

From Dick Cheney – Citizen at large

 Dear Mr. president, 

As we approach the 13th Anniversary of 9/11 ~ it becomes increasingly important that I remind you of your promise to us, before you were sworn in to the presidency, to not allow any investigations or revelations to come to the surface regarding 9/11 ~ at the risk of breaking our trust and our continued support of the ongoing 9/11 cover-up.

We’re watching you closely, Barack and I’m becoming increasingly uneasy by recent revelations which may indicate that your support and pledge regarding this massive cover-up may be wavering ~ particularly since your presidency will soon be coming to an end and the continued human rights pressure to close Guantanamo.

As George and I told you (obviously behind closed doors and inquisitive ears) we’re all in this together and one unreliable high level official link brings this whole criminal endeavor crashing down on all of us, including yourself, and eventually will lead to public humiliation, trial and jail.

 Once again, the American public will never forgive all of us who were involved in this false flag operation but particularly those in authority who knew of this national betrayal and never exposed this treasonous act ~ and now that also means you, Barack.

 Of course, I have taken great pains to cover my tracks on this endeavor either by rendition, torture or indefinite imprisonment at Guantanamo ~ but my tracks are not indelible which is the reason for this confidential note and reminder. Of course, my firm Halliburton, made $30.5 billion as a result of no-bid contracts, gross overcharging and worker exploitation during the invasion of Iraq but that’s the way the game was played in Iraq (chuckle)

However, It has recently come to my attention that organizations like Veterans Today have stumbled across my fingerprints on our secret plan to steal American Nukes ~ specifically W-54′s ~ which of course were eventually used in the 9/11 false flag operation. This is hitting very close to home and must be sidetracked immediately or we’re in deep doo-doo !

Here’s the VT report that also also mentions my name which concerns me greatly  ~

VT: “Our IAEA sources reports: The W-54 warhead has a large, high quality oblong plutonium pit.  400 of these weapons were made for use in nuclear artillery and other weapons with design variations allowing vastly different output from the same basic design. The W-54′s were placed in military cold storage after 1986 and they were retired in 1993 by Bush 41. They were then written off the books during the Clinton era 1994-2000 and allegedly disposed of by converting them into MOX (multiple oxide as used in Fukushima) fuel at the Savanna River complex. The Savanna River recycling plant had and still has serious security and safety concerns for decades.

‘Someone’ or ‘some people’ at a very high level simply did a paper work switch and shipped the non-destroyed pits out the back door. The thefts started under Clinton and ended under Bush2. Cheney controlling it under Bush 1 and 2. Richardson (a “rabid  Zionist”) at DOE under Clinton.” See report ~

How did VT get access to that secret report and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the only high level person capable of making that paper switch decision was me which makes me even more nervous ~ which I don’t need now with my brand new heart.

Get on this, Barack ~ before it gets completely out of hand !

When I say we’re watching you ~ that is not a passive statement  for no one is indispensable in this cover up (as you already know) and we will move deadly fast, as we have before, if we feel our trust has been betrayed.

 Our whole Way of Life (as Tony Blair is so fond of saying) is at risk and you don’t want to be the person responsible for bringing down that house of cards or should I say Potemkin Village (chuckle).

 Remember, Barack ~ as I have publicly said many times, you have to give up your liberties to keep your freedom and you should be maintaining that mantra with the American public before they wise up and bring us all down ~ note I said us, Barack ~ we are all in this together ~ you can’t pin it all eventually on my administration, Oops, I mean George W’s ~ who still doesn’t realize that he was a pawn in our PNAC grand world scheme. (He still won’t return my calls and is now evidently writing poetry along with his crude water colors, God awful but I digress)

 One other thing, Barack ~ it appears the public is closing in on the far more specific 9/11 investigative report, the one issued by the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress, entitled “Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.” Those infamous blacked out 28 pages were assumed to relate to our well known Saudi connections but some pesky reporters like Justin Raimondo made the correct assumption that those missing pages verified Israeli complicity in 9/11~ which of course would eventually lead to my role in that operation.

And that loose cannon Bibi almost let the cat out of the bag while speaking to a conference at Bar Ilan University in 2008, which was very direct as to Israeli involvement. As reported by Israeli news outlets Ha’aretz and Ma’ariv: “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,’ He reportedly added that these events ‘swung American public opinion in our favor.’”   See report ~

I repeat, Barack, the release of those 28 pages cannot be allowed to happen ~ so far we have kept a lid on this through AIPAC pressure but with the upcoming 13th 9/11 anniversary looming within a week, you must consider this an emergency!

If the public fully knew of our connection with the Zionists regarding the planning, execution and cover-up of 9/11, my goose would be cooked but so would yours, my friend. (Yes, my friend, since both of us know and are aware of things that could destroy the presidency ~ we are reluctantly joined in our common effort to maintain the status quo at all costs) George W also knows this and it has driven him into seclusion ~ if not senility. (chuckle)

Bush hugging President Obama in gratefulness at 2008 inauguration (Please protect me, Barack)

Actually, Krugman got it half right in 2009 when he wrote ~ ” Let’s say this slowly: the Bush administration wanted to use 9/11 as a pretext to invade Iraq, even though Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So it tortured people to make them confess to the nonexistent link. There’s a word for this: it’s evil.”  See his column ~

The secret deeper intent, that Krugman missed or more likely ignored, was that we demonized and attacked Iraq to distract the American public and cover our tracks regarding our high level involvement in 9/11 ~ that’s why George W can’t sleep at night and why I still keep talking tough and waving the flag ~ Take my warning seriously, Barack ~ too much is at stake here and we are not only watching you but we are ready to take any action necessary to maintain this charade.

Lastly, a good offense is the best defense for our 9/11 skullduggery, keep talking about bombing Syria, War with ISIS and demonizing Russia (even though that’s all another lie) ~ in other words keep pressing the FEAR button ~ it worked with 9/11 and that’s why Guantanamo is still open for business but closed for human rights inspection. As I said on Fox in 2009 ~ The important thing to understand here is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people. I mean, these are terrorists for the most part ~ even though we have never proved it ~ (chuckle and sneer).

The American public can be controlled by fear and the last thing it needs to hear is the TRUTH about 9/11. As long as there’s the general perception that the real 9/11 conspirators are in Guantanamo we’re home free ~ but if those 28 pages are released to the public our unholy alliance with the Zionists regarding 9/11 will open up Pandora’s Box and our ass is grass ~ Do I make myself clear ?

Patriotism is our last refuge as it is for all scoundrels ~ so wave the flag on 9/11 and praise our human sacrifice on that day and also pray that no one looks to deeply into that black hole of American history ~ for if they do, they will eventually connect all the dots and you and I and many others will become a sordid reminder of evil and what went wrong for America at the turn of this century.

 Shred this immediately after reading.

It occurred to me that maybe the main thing that helped turn the tide in the rebel counteroffensive is if some of the "drivers" of those humanitarian convoy trucks were in actuality Russian military command personnel (captains, colonels, generals) that stayed in Ukraine and helped the rebels to plan and coordinate their counteroffensive. Moreover, potential rebel command personnel could have returned to Russia in their place for special training... Did anyone stamp convoy personnel passports upon entering and leaving Ukraine? Silver Sooner...?

Summary of the military events in Novorossia as of 09/07/2014
 

Last night at the front Novorossia passed under the auspices of the so-called "truce" which is actually not a truce at all.

The security forces continued to shell the outskirts of Donetsk using artillery and mortars. This fact is far from being the first fact that points to violating the peace protocol signed in Minsk by the Ukrainian side. Over the day the AFU violated the agreement about a cease-fire more than 10 times.

Besides shelling housing blocks in Donetsk, the units of the NAF located near the city were also shelled. The activity of the Ukrainian security forces on the Mariupol direction was also reported. Here the security forces attempted to pull military vehicles towards the city in order to help the forces thatare blockaded in Mariupol. Movements of "Grad" and "Smerch" were reported. Furthermore, the headquarters of the NAF report that movement of several tens of armored vehicles of the AFU was noticed in close vicinity from the settlement of Debalcevo.

The Nazis actively place their detachments into those settlements where their groups were weakened. The fascist detachments started to show up even in those places where they weren't present before. Some detachments are provided with the weapons from NATO countries (weapons made in the USA). Enemy forces are rotated. Furthermore, the Nazis open fire on settlements too. For example, today the Kiev fascists shelled the settlement of Spartak using artillery.
 

Events in the DPR
 

Mortar shelling continued on the outskirts of Donetsk, the Ukrainian military once again violated the terms of the cease-fire agreement.

The Ukrainian army continues to perform mortar strikes on Donetsk.. During the previous night shelling was recorded in the area of the settlement of Spartak. It is also known that artillery shelling was also carried out in the outskirts of Mariupol.

Additional forces of the Ukrainian military were redeployed towards Mariupol, including the first operational brigade of the National Guard.

The AFU detachments broke the cease-fire regime seven times. In particular, it was broken in the areas of Yenakiyevo, Ocheredino, Veselaya Mt., and Yasinovataya.

Airport – the AFU fired on the Oktyabrsky district. Combat involving small arms unfolded in the area of the airport by the evening. One militia fighter was wounded.

Donetsk – was subjected to mortar shelling by the AFU from the side of Svetliy Put'.

The area of Avdotyino – a breakthrough by the group of punitive troops towards Donetsk. The composition of the group is being clarified.

Khartsyzsk – a militia checkpoint was fired upon.

Settlement of  Krasnyi Partizan – was subjected to an attack by the "Aidar" battalion. After their retreat the punitive troops subjected the settlement to a strike from the MLRS "Grad".. 10 civilians were wounded (the data is being clarified).

Settlement of Olkhovka - a militia checkpoint was fired upon. One fighter was killed.

Mariupol:

Information about fighting inside the city arrived during the day. By the evening it became known about the AFU use of the MLRS "Uragan" against the settlement of  Frunze.
 

Events in the LPR
 

On the Lugansk direction the front line remained effectively unchanged.  No information was received about shelling Lugansk.

The AFU continue to pull forces into the area of the settlement of  Schastye.

The AFU abandoned the settlements of Privetnoye, Pankovo, Stukalova Balka, Svetloye, Oboznoye, and Khristovo.

Also the AFU are in the process of withdrawing their military from the still occupied settlements of Markovka, Novopskov, Belovodsk, Novoaidar, Severodonetsk, Starobelsk, and Svatovo.

The City Councial of Lugansk announced the start of restoring the infrastructure of the city on the official website. "Preparations are under way to restart the supply of electricity, repair the damaged electrical wires," – says the announcement of the city council. According to the messages from the residents, the night in Lugansk was calm. The sounds of gunfire couldn't be heard in the city.. However, the city still has no water and no communication.

PS. I would like to add that Surkov arrived into Kiev to meet Poroshenko on the background of the "truce" . Such a meeting was expected, because sooner or later the "expert consultations" and backstage doings had to lead to some more official meetings, although this time the fact of meeting became known from the snippets of information that leaked. Of course, at this time there is no information on what exactly Surkov and Poroshenko were discussing..
