Hi Skeeta

Tax cuts and the Deficit. Please send this to every politician that is against tax cuts.

I know you are concerned about the Deficit. I also know that you are against reducing the Tax Rate (cutting taxes). This shows your lack of knowledge of basic economics. Reducing the tax rate will increase government revenue and reduce the deficit. In fact by my calculations we are so far out on the marginal tax rate curve (Laffer curve) that the slope is -1. This means that for every percentage reduction in the tax rate an equal percentage increase in government revenue will occur. How is this possible you ask? Increasing taxes destroys business. When business is destroyed they no longer pay taxes you dumbass. Increasing taxes leaves consumers with less to spend which decreases business revenue which reduces government revenue you dumbass. Politicians should really have to take an economic IQ test before being allowed to run for office. That’s right if you reduce the tax rate by 20% Government Revenue will increase by 20%. If you want to increase taxes then increase taxes on foreign corporations like Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon. (Any corporation with more than 10% of their assets off shore) This will help the real American corporations and reduce the power of Global corporations pretending to be American.

Pioneer Resources – PIO.AX PIONF The New Criterion: 2 mine developers to watch

The Perth-based stalwart’s main prize remains lithium but its shorter term revenues lie with an industrial metal few outside of the oil and gas industry have heard of: caesium.

Most of the world’s caesium is turned into a derivative called caesium formate, used to lubricate high-pressure oil wells (mainly in the North Sea).

In radioactive form caesium is a by product of nuclear power production, but we’re assured the mineral version wouldn’t hurt a gnat.

About 75% of output is used in drilling and the remaining 25% for caesium chemicals.

The material is so rare that about 85% of caesium formate used is recovered for re-use.

So much so that the near-monopoly supplier, the Canadian miner Cabot, leases the stuff rather than selling it outright. Continued…

Re: Segment 1
Cory, nobody’s talking about the gold/silver stocks I own! These are: Aurcana Corp (AUNFF), Gold Fields LTD New (GFI), Gold Resource Corp Com (GORO), Mag Silver Corp (MAG), Newmont Mining Corp (NEM), and Sibanye Gold Limited American D (SBGL). Correct me if I’m wrong, but only MAG is showing “signs of life” in the stock history. Everything else is flat or lower than 5 years ago. Hence my interest in hearing more about MAG and other Mexican silver mines.

But do keep up with the other mine companies’ research. I am certain I will use them later. Just as soon as Bitcoin gives me some more profit to put back into junior miners.

Stephen Riddle: What Investors Really Need to Know About Graphite

Re: Segment 8
What this is really about, Big Al, was making sure the Trump Administration had no “transition period” at all. It was to enforce the previous Obama administration’s goals, and the Deep State’s forever-war goals, as long as possible. Trump was supposed to not even enter the White House with his staff until 20 Jan 2017, as far behind the eight-ball as possible. It would have taken Trump and his staff even longer to understand the ins and outs of the Executive Branch than it has the last 11 months, and that is the real reason.

Gen. Flynn was just caught in the trawling net of the Deep State and the globalists in charge in the USA, that’s all. Was he naive, even foolish? Perhaps. I’ll not judge the man because I don’t have all the information, and because it is the Christian action to do. The Deep State and its’ minions are hoping for a domino effect from Flynn to Trump, but I do not believe that is going to happen. It’s a false story to begin with, and a setup at its’ worst.

Doc,
I’m sure my tsx volume chart on YRI is wrong but it shows massive volume spike two days ago of over 60 million units! It must be wrong. If it isn’t then that’s the largest spike in a decade on that stock!

Did Flynn’s Plea Deal Just Disprove Election Collusion

This whole charade with former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn reeks of desperation and makes clear that Mueller’s team has an empty hand.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-01/did-flynns-plea-deal-just-disprove-election-collusion

Big Al, The federal gov’t has for decades acted beyond its enumerated powers. Well did Jefferson and the other founders opine on the importance of “chaining the federal gov’t down” by limiting its powers, leaving everything else up to the states and the people.

One example is the battle over the establishment clause and religious expression in America today. Frequently, those opposed to religious expression in public places, refer to the “wall between church and state” as mentioned by Jefferson. They mis-apply that comment, which came about as a response to the Danbury Baptists, who sought special consideration from the federal gov’t when Jefferson was president.

Jefferson’s response to their query was that now famous wall between church and state response, but they fail to quote what he went on to say. Jefferson’s response was in keeping with the constitution and that was that the federal gov’t shall make no law respecting religion, or in other words, make one religion a state sponsored religion as with what occurred in Britain.

Jefferson went on to say that though he and the federal gov’t could not entertain their request, as governor of Virginia he could, because the states were free to do what they asked.

Supreme court Justice Joseph Story in 1838 went on to corroborate what Jefferson’s position was. Some people were seeking a judicial remedy to prevent states from enacting laws that were reflecting the dominant religion of the people in a state. Story, in his majority opinion, reaffirmed the right of a state to enact laws which reflected the dominant religion of that state and mentioned that if people did not concur with the way the laws were being enacted, they were free to move to another state that better reflected their views.

The federal gov’t was chained down, but not the states. So long as states enacted laws that were not in violation of people’s inalienable rights, they were free to do so and people were free to locate to a state that better suited them. Hence, part of the wisdom of the founders and the beauty of the constitution.

Another example is the misuse of the general welfare clause in the preamble of the constitution. Many politicians have abused that clause, believing that they could pass any law they deemed to be for the general welfare of the people. This idea goes well beyond the limited enumerated powers of the federal gov’t, as politicians could concoct just about any rationale for passing illegal legislation.

Again, Jefferson came to our aid when he reminded those who believed they could do anything they wanted, if they believed it was for the general welfare of the county, using the clause as their basis, by reminding them that the clause was “reflexive in nature”. Meaning, that the preamble stated what the result of the constitution would be if followed.

The constitution itself, if followed as intended, would “establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity…”

Jefferson went on to correct their views by stating unequivocally that the general welfare clause in the preamble did not give the federal gov’t the right to do anything it wanted, if believed to be for the general welfare, but that the federal gov’t had to stay within its enumerated powers and all else went to the states and the people respectively, as mention in the tenth amendment of the bill of rights.

Jefferson was right and the Supreme Court agreed, but sadly, over the years this understanding and wisdom has been all but lost to the public understanding and we have reaped what we now have, a barely recognizable image of what the constitutional form of government was to be. Well did the founders warn that this constitution was wholly unsuitable to an immoral society, and I would add, an uninformed society as well.

We have for far too long not properly taught our youth what the constitution is, how it came to be, what the overriding principles were, and what the intent of the founders was. John Adams warned that if we were unable to retain the Liberty they gave us, he would rue “half the effort” it took for him and others to give it to us. I understand their fear for future generations, as these fears have come to pass.

Hopefully, we as a nation will remember and rise up to put the constitution back in its place. Just my humble opinion on the topic.

Russia, China, India Unveil New Gold Trading Network

Did they figure out the Gold derivatives scam?

“If our gold and foreign currency reserves were ever seized, even if it was just an intention to do so, that would amount to financial terrorism. It would amount to a declaration of financial war between Russia and the party attempting to seize the assets.”

Currently the international gold price is established (discovered) by a combination of the London Over-the-Counter (OTC) gold market trading and US-centric COMEX gold futures exchange.

However, ‘gold’ trading in London and on COMEX is really trading of very large quantities of synthetic derivatives on gold, which are completely detached from the physical gold market. In London, the derivative is fractionally-backed unallocated gold positions which are predominantly cash-settled, in New York the derivative is exchange-traded gold future contracts which are predominantly cash-settles and again are backed by very little real gold.

Dr. Mark Skidmore – $21 Trillion Missing from US Federal Budget

Michigan State University economics professor Mark Skidmore made an astounding discovery about the finances and budgets of the U.S. federal government earlier this year. He and a team of graduate students discovered $21 trillion missing in the federal budget going back to 1998. Dr. Skidmore, who specializes in public finance, explains, “We know from official government sources that indicate $21 trillion is, in some way, unaccounted for. Furthermore, if we come back to the Constitution, all spending needs to be authorized by Congress. It looks to me, and I think I can conclude with a high degree of certainty, there is money flowing in, as well as out, that is unaccounted for. . . . That’s the one thing we know from these documents, that there is $21 trillion in unaccounted funds.”

In one example, Skidmore found a huge transfer from the Treasury Department to the Army that, again, was not authorized. Keep in mind, the Army has an approved budget of a little more than $120 billion a year. Skidmore says, “In this one report . . . there is an appendix table that indicates there was a transfer from Treasury to the Army of about $800 billion. That’s almost a trillion dollars flowing in. There is a note that says we had to do this in order to reconcile past years. That doesn’t make sense to me either because, these earlier years, you have a transfer from the Treasury of your $120 billion or $130 billion, and every year, the Army is granted the authority to spend this money in the ways they say they will. How can you get (an additional) $800 billion in and call that an ‘adjustment’? I tried to call and talk to the office of the Inspector General to talk to the people who helped generate these reports. I haven’t been successful, and I stopped trying when they disabled the links.”

You heard correctly. The government cut off inspection of their own financial accounting to the public. Skidmore says, “I have been able to talk to a few people. I tried calling the Congressional Budget Office. I talked with somebody at the GAO, and one or two people at the Office of the Inspector General, who were generating these reports. . . .It’s a big question in why don’t people want to look at this? I am just a blue collar economist at Michigan State University, and I am saying this does not make sense to me. Why don’t we look at this? . . . Some high ranking government official authorized the disabling of all the links to the key documents. We know that.”

Dr. Skidmore thinks the federal accounting of $21 trillion in missing money is crazy and far outside the realm of normal. So, is this a legitimate U.S. national security issue? Dr. Skidmore says, “Yeah, and that is one of the reasons I decided to look at this. How can this be, and what does this mean? If trillions of dollars are flowing in and flowing out, it appears to be outside of our Constitution and outside of the rule of law. If that is the case, that really is troubling because it suggests that there is a layer of things happening that are outside the rule of law. I know, for example, that some activities, just for the sake of protection of the people involved in national security, have to be black budget. There is always stuff like that. Usually, it’s authorized spending, and some percentage is this black budget where only a small percentage of people and some in Congress know about it, but this is way outside of that. So, I am worried about it.”

Is Cryptocurrency a Government Plot?

QUESTION: You have said that the future will be cryptocurrencies. The Bank of Canada has come out and acknowledged what you have been saying that such private issue challenges the government’s profit structure. Do you think electronic money will be viable sooner or later down the road?

PG

ANSWER: Electronic currency is ALREADY the bulk of the money supply. When you deposit $100 in a bank, it lends out $90 from your deposit and your bank statement still reflects you have $100. However, the person who borrowed the money now has $90 in their account. The government did not “print” money to cover that extra $90, rather they just created “electronic” money.

So what is the big thing about cryptocurrencies? The idea is that it is money that will not depreciate and is strangely not “fiat.” Yet, it is no different than the electronic money created by the bank, which is also outside the strict domain of government.

If you just look at the price of Bitcoin, it demonstrates that this is merely a speculative boom indistinguishable from the Dot.COM Bubble, which also reflected a new era in technology. If Bitcoin was truly an alternative currency that was supposed to retain its value, the mere fact that the rice has soared like any stock proves that it is by no means a “store of wealth” that somehow is better than currency in which it must still be converted to use in the bulk of the economy.

If the power grid failed, everyone would be broke. You could not even buy food. Society would revert immediately back to barter. There are risks to any form of electronic money be it a bank or crypto. The government WILL move toward cryptocurrencies THAT THEY WILL CONTROL, not the private sector. I have stated before, they argue electronic money eliminates cash crime from bank robberies, drugs, prostitution, etc., but it introduces more sophisticated hacking computer crimes.

The crime issue is the excuse, but the real issue remains the hunt for taxes. I have to wonder if the government is not behind this entire cryptocurrency phenomenon. Satoshi Nakamoto is the name assigned to this mysterious unknown person or people who designed Bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. Nobody knows who invented this technology. It is entirely possible that this movement is a false flag created by the government to move society to accept the end of tangible money. It is very strange that the person who invented this technology is unknown and has not stepped forward to demand some royalty.

Republicans Prepare For War With FBI, DOJ: To File Contempt Action Over Anti-Trump Bias

Five weeks ago, House Speaker Paul Ryan accused the DOJ and FBI of “stonewalling” the House Intelligence Committee’s wide-ranging subpoena for all pertinent information about how the largely unsubstantiated “Trump dossier” played into the DOJ’s decision to launch the infamous Trump collusion investigation. At the time, the speaker said the agency was preparing to turn over the information requested, though it never did. Only yesterday, following a series of coordinated media leaks about Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who was reassigned from the Mueller probe to a job in the FBI’s HR Department under mysterious circumstances.

Well, thanks to the New York Times and the Washington Post, Nunes learned – at the same time as the broader public – the reasons for Strzok’s sudden reassignment: Namely, that the Mueller team member who had played a critical role in the DOJ’s original collusion investigation – and before that the FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information – had exchange text messages expressing anti-Trump sentiments with FBI attorney Lisa Page while the two were having an affair.

Well, the Intel committee chairman was understandably less than pleased at this very public embarassment. Therefore, he announced in a statement issued Sunday that he would be preparing to hold the DOJ in contempt of Congress, a serious escalation.

Christmas Comes Early For Purdy’s Reward Bulls

December 3, 2017 Allan Barry Laboucan

Recent news from Novo Resources (NVO.V) has put their stock as well as partner Artemis Resources (ARV.AX and ARTTF.US) under pressure. Creating a gift of an opportunity for investors positioning themselves in the early days of the joint venture between Novo and Artemis to explore the Purdy’s Reward gold project. The big gold nuggets in those conglomerate beds haven’t gone anywhere and they are just getting started at exploration.

The news that freaked a bunch of investors out was that the large diameter drilling wasn’t working at collecting material to assay. To me, this really was a non-event, but nonetheless it caused a healthy correction for Novo, as well as Artemis and other juniors involved in the Australian Gold Rush at Purdy’s Reward. Since I started covering this emerging story in the past few months, I’ve stated on several occasions that this project is going to be all about bulk sampling to get a representative grade.

The first mini-bulk sample they did, came back with an incredible grade of around 2 ounces p/t, right at surface. Right away the arm waving took off, and the one that got the most attention was Novo because they had a lot of the down dip ground from where the conglomerate beds daylight over by Purdy’s Reward….
