This is from David Vaughn of The Gold Letter.

Maybe the passion evolving will subside when our government successfully curtails all free speech. The armies and camps are already being prepared for those who would exercise their right to speak and think freely.

“Are you ready for martial law and the American holocaust…?” “Most Americans don’t know these FEMA camps exist. In fact, you might have a FEMA camp or authorized facility in your home state.” “Can you imagine being hauled off to a concentration camp, separated from your family, friends, and loved ones? Just like they did in Nazi Germany? Don’t think it could happen? Think again.”

“According to the principles of martial law, all federal agencies including the FBI and CIA, and local police and fire departments would fall under the directives of the United States EXECUTIVE Branch.” “Don’t think the Federal Arm will seize your property and possessions? Think again! The Federal Arm will [eventually] take control of everything!” FEMA was created in a series of EXECUTIVE orders. A Presidential EXECUTIVE Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry.”

“Congress is by-passed.”

Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An “emergency czar”… see links: http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/fema.htm http://freedomarizona.org/2009/02/03/nazi-like-concentration-camps-in-america/

We should really be prepared for these events. Who is not familiar with the popular and ancient book, “1984”? Right will become wrong and wrong will be as right. The populace will be so confused its will to fight for freedom will disintegrate.

Our US Executive Branch is now practically sovereign. Our Executive Branch now rules the country with Czars picked by the all powerful Executive Branch. Inflation has already begun for those who can honestly read the signs. What do you think the result will be for 5 trillion new dollars in our economy? So far in 2009 over 90 US banks have gone under. And another 400 plus that have provided risky loans for commercial real estate, strip malls and offices are in deep trouble.

Ready for a brave new world?

Our world, our economy, our very lives…all these things have changed as the years have progressed and will dramatically continue to transform on into the next decade.

Many of the rules applied in the past are no longer valid. Gone forever. So the task we are left with for today and tomorrow is to attempt to understand the new changes occurring around us today and for tomorrow.

Owning gold is the best way to preserve the true value of your savings. Unemployment is climbing to over 12% in many states. Gold prices are up, gold mining stocks are up.

Bear in mind, this did not start with the Obama administration. This has been in the works for decades, no matter which party was in power.

In the United States, we have a ONE PARTY SYSTEM with two heads.... Republican and Democrat.

"All problems, depressions, wars, disasters, assassinations, all of them were planned, caused, instigated, and implemented by the International Bankers and their attempt to establish a central bank in every country in the world, which they have now done, thanks to corrupt politicians who have been bought and paid for. This is all you need to know about the history of the world."- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Just saw a very revealing statistics in this article. In a recent survey, 20 out of 22 fund managers bought physical gold for their personal investments.

Investment firm Greenlight Capital recently sold $500 million of Gold ETF (paper gold) and bought physical gold.

As a general rule, if you copy what insiders are doing, you will be a successful investor. Right now, insiders are buying gold.

excerpt from Real Gold Highs 3 by Adam Hamilton

Over the years since 2001, many investors have asked me how we will know when today’s gold bull has run its course. When do we exit for good? The answer is surprisingly easy. When gold investing becomes the most popular thing around, discussed everywhere by everyone and on the news constantly, get ready. Soon after when gold rockets parabolic, more than doubles in a matter of weeks, get out. Bull-ending superspikes on rampantly euphoric popular psychology are impossible to miss!

So what is the message for investors today? Buy all you can now, no matter the price. Whether you pay $800/ounce or $1,100/ounce really won't matter much when gold is at $10,000/ounce.

I was glancing over the gold prices on 24hgold this morning and I noticed the large discrepancy between 1 ounce gold coins like the Eagles, Maples and Krugs and their 1/10 ounce counterparts. The one ounce coins have about an 8% premium over spot, while the smaller denominations have about a 25% mark-up.

This tells me that the smaller denominations are more in demand. Why? Because the average Joe that is buying gold is doing so because he is scared to death. He wants smaller denominations so that when the house of cards collapses, he has something small enough to barter with.

Joe Redneck is smarter than Wally Wall Street that thinks that we are back in a bull market, the bailout has worked, and the Fed never lies. LOL.

Regarding the potential for gold, here is a recent observation by James Turk:

Back in 1980, when the yellow metal hit $850 an ounce – still the record in real terms [Adjusting for inflation, it takes more than $2,300 to purchase today what $850 purchased in January 1980, using the US government’s current CPI calculator. However, the US government has since amended its CPI calculator numerous times. Fortunately, www.shadowstats.com makes available the same CPI calculator used when the Carter administration haplessly watched the gold price soar nearly three decades ago. Using this Carter-era calculator,<> http://www.fgmr.com/real-gold-price.html<> it takes over $6,300 today to match $850 of January 1980 purchasing power.] – western economies were being squeezed simultaneously by the second oil crisis and record post-war inflation.

The sheeple continue to think that the ultimate safety is in and FDIC insured bank account. Little do they know that the FDIC is broke and is asking the banks that they insure to bail them out.

WASHINGTON -Regulators have approached big banks about borrowing billions to shore up the dwindling fund that insures regular deposit accounts.
The loans would go to the fund maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. that insure depositors when banks fail, said two industry officials familiar with the conversations, who requested anonymity because the plans are still evolving.

That is a pretty good racket. Take in deposits, make bogus loans, and then pretend that those deposits are covered by a fund that is ultimately backed by the banks that they are insuring.

Anybody see the irony in this?

I read this recently by Chuck Cohen, a seasoned and highly successful investment consultant living in New York City.

I believe that in spite of a huge move since 2001, gold is still very early in a generational bull market. Bob Hoye, one of the most astute market analyst around, believes it will last for 15-20 years. That gives us 7 to 12 more years to ride it. Remember, the recent bull market in stocks lasted almost 18 years. The gold fundamentals continue to get more and more compelling, and technically gold is rapidly approaching an amazing liftoff stage.

Gold and Jesus

This is an excerpt from an article by Chuck Cohen entitled Tepid Media Make Gold an Enticing Buy. I love the last sentance..... funny and true.


"Here we are on September 20, 2009, the price of gold is $1000, the world economies have just rammed trillions of dollars more of worthless paper into a failing world economy, and yet the system is more rotten and corrupt than ever. This is the scenario that most true gold people have anticipated for a very long time, and now it is upon us. The odds that this drama is going to end or reverse are so remote that the Las Vegas oddsmakers would probably not book a bet on it happening. We are lifting off in a historic parabolic pattern (look again at the charts) Questions concerning where it will end, and how high it will go, are pure speculation. But it won’t be soon, and it won’t be anywhere near the current price.

Just be sure you understand the value and the future of gold. We know we’re in a lonely minority, but we don’t need a validation by a mainstream who have never or will never understand gold or the company of supposedly renowned people. As I always point out, it is like faith in Jesus — you either see Him or you don’t."

This was posted in a chat room this morning.

"The chinese people are being urged to buy gold and silver and how the government is making it easy for them to do so. You can buy gold in China at any bank--even tiny banks in tier-3 cities sell gold. More importantly, however, the government is setting up official Chinese Mint stores all over the country. On the inside, they look like jewelry shops--armed guards, glass viewing cases, etc. But instead of diamond crusted earrings and white star sapphires, you see bars. Lots of bars. We went into several stores and saw Chinese people buying like crazy... all with cash.

One aspect of this is that it will make it impossible for another military power to seize this part of china's gold holdings. by dispersing gold widely among the population, it will be more difficult for the Chinese public to be quickly impoverished in a war, short of nuclear annihilation. I see this as an indication that china expects tumultuous financial and political changes soon, the kind that are often followed quickly by military aggression.
