Freedom Update
From time to time I like to post headlines that pertain to the erosion of our freedoms. My purpose is to help you realize two things:

First, get some of your money out of the country. Sooner or later they are coming for it and there's not a thing you can do about it.

Second, gold is private and portable. Again, the US Gestapo agencies of FEMA, Homeland Security, FBI and CIA now have only one mission. To convert the US into a socialist system where your freedoms are non existent.

So let's go with some recent news items.


FBI 'fabricated terror emergencies to get phone records'
Justice department to accuse FBI of invoking crises to obtain details of more than 2,000 calls, Washington Post reports

The US justice department is preparing a report which concludes that the FBI repeatedly broke the law by invoking terrorism emergencies that did not exist to obtain more than 2,000 telephone call records over four years from 2002, including those of journalists on US newspapers, according to emails obtained by the Washington Post.

The FBI's general counsel, Valerie Caproni, told the Washington Post that the agency violated privacy laws by inventing non-existent terrorist threats to justify collecting the phone records. "We should have stopped those requests from being made that way," she said.

After the 9/11 attacks, the USA patriot act greatly expanded the government's ability to monitor American citizens, including increased access to their phone calls with the approval of lower-level officials than previously allowed. But the authorisation had to be tied to an open terrorism investigation.


Here's a funny video from Canadian Comedian Rick Mercer on airport security. As I have always said, 911 and the ensuing airport restrictions were not developed to keep the bad guys out, but to keep the good guys in.





Regarding full body scanners in airports, it is interesting to ponder the fact that gold does not set off metal detectors. The powers-the-best know that gold is the investment that will be in great demand when the markets inevitably crash. As usual, I believe this is a pre-emptive strategy to keep the gold from fleeing the US, AS IS ALREADY HAPPENING.

One high ranking executive of Goldman Sachs recently took ALL of his $1 million bonus, bought gold and sent it to a deposit box in Latin America. This information was told to me first-hand from the dealer from whom he made the gold purchase.

So, regarding gold, you might find the following story of interest:


Precious Metals Stored Beneath The World Trade Center
One of the less noted of the possible motives for the attack was the creation of diversion in order to steal hundreds of millions of dollars worth of precious metals.

The basement of 4 World Trade Center housed vaults used to store gold and silver bullion. Published articles about precious metals recovered from the World Trade Center ruins in the aftermath of the attack mention less than $300 million worth of gold. All such reports appear to refer to a removal operation conducted in late October of 2001. On Nov. 1, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani announced that "more than $230 million" worth of gold and silver bars that had been stored in a bomb-proof vault had been recovered stated a New York Times article.

An article in the TimesOnline gives the following rundown of precious metals that were being stored in WTC vaults belonging to Comex.

Comex metals trading - 3,800 gold bars weighing 12 tonnes and worth more than $100 million
Comex clients - 800,000 ounces of gold with a value of about $220 million
Comex clients - 102 million ounces of silver, worth $430 million
Bank of Nova Scotia - $200 million of gold

The TimesOnline article is not clear as to whether the $200 million in gold reported by the Bank of Nova Scotia was part of the $220 million in gold held by Comex for clients. If so, the total is $750 million; otherwise $950 million.

There appear to be no reports of precious metals discovered between November of 2001 and the completion of excavation several months later. It would seem that at least the better part of a billion dollars worth of precious metals went missing. It is not plausible that whatever destroyed the towers vaporized gold and silver, which are heavy malleable metals that are extremely unlikely to participate in chemical reactions with other materials.



I find it more than a coincidence that just as gold was beginning to climb in price that three quarters of a billion dollars worth of gold has come up missing! I also find it interesting that the Chinese have recently turned up gold-plated tungsten bars they received from American, instead of the solid-gold 400 ounce bars they were expecting.

How long has this swindle been going on and how many other bars are out there? Who has the control and money to pull off such an operation?

Perhaps the gold that was supposedly never recovered from 911 had already been replaced by the counterfeit bars. I wonder who has it now?

Still think gold isn't important? Obviously some very powerful people think otherwise!

Quote:
Personally, I have little confidence in the government's claims of the Fort Knox gold supply, and only slightly more confidence in GLD's ETF books. 2008 taught us hard lessons about counter party risk, and I prefer to hold it in my hand rather than see it in my brokerage account. - Simon Black, Sovereign Man... 22 January 2010


The Events of 911 Disclosed 11 Months Earlier - Bankers Complicit
An interview with Aaron Russo, former gubernatorial Candidate of Nevada.




American was formed as a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. In a Democracy, 51% of the people have the right to deny 49% of the people of their rights. In a Republic, 99% of the people can't deny the rights of the 1%.

Today's government has done an end-run around this protection that our founding fathers gave us by controlling and shaping public opinion and then rewriting the Constitution (through court interpretations) to suit their goals.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for supper. In a Republic, the sheep has a gun. Benjamin Franklin

Regarding 911, public opinion has been shaped to the point that American's have ASKED to give up their freedoms in return for safety. The plot of 911 has succeeded wonderfully.

Every thought that you THINK is yours has actually been arrived at by your media brainwashing. And anytime you think outside of that little box, a little voice inside your head says "don't get too carried away... what will people think?"

Well let me clue you in.... those who care more about what others think than the truth deserve what they get. But there are still a few of us that are "mad as hell, and we're not gonna take it anymore, to borrow a line from the movie "Network."



It is to those few Christians and Patriots that I urge you to think outside the box. Don't blindly accept what the media feeds you. Begin to think outside the box and you will find that the answers that are going to insure your survival in the future are outside the mainstream box as well. Question everything, as did the Bereans when the Apostle Paul taught them that the Messiah had come.

Acts 17:10-11 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Be noble!
