Iran warns US... again

2007-6-9 20:27

Tehran - A senior Iranian official on Saturday renewed Tehran's threat to target US interests around the world if the United States attacked the Islamic Republic over its nuclear programme, Fars News Agency reported.

Washington accuses Iran of seeking to develop atomic weapons, a charge Tehran denies. Although US officials insist they want a diplomatic resolution, they have not ruled out military action if deemed necessary.

"In case of an American attack against Iran, the interests of this country around the world and in the region will be endangered," Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr, a deputy Interior Minister for security affairs, was quoted as saying.

"Today, all American bases in the region are within the reach of our medium-range weapons," said Zolghadr, former deputy commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

"Today, if the slightest disorder in the region's security and in the security of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf is created, oil prices will reach $250 a barrel and this will lead to the death of European countries and America in terms of economy and security," he added.

Worries about any supply disruption from the world's fourth biggest oil exporter, Iran, have been one of the factors helping to prop up oil prices. US crude is now around $65 a barrel.

"Maybe the start of an evil act (could) be in America's hand but its continuation and end won't be (in its hands)," he said.

Iran's highest authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in February the Islamic Republic would target US interests around the world if it was attacked.

Der globale und totalitaere Superstaat

Die "primary dealers"

An der Schnittstelle zwischen der FED und der Wirtschaft stehen in den USA die sogenannten „primary dealer“, die als privilegierte Geschäftsbanken als erste von der FED die neugeschöpfte Liquidität erhalten und damit zu den Hauptprofiteuren der staatlichen Geldmanipulation gehören. Wie jede vom Staat privilegierte Branche liegt es im Eigeninteresse der Banken, diese Position mit Händen und Füßen zu verteidigen. Folglich wird Paulson als Sprachrohr der Banken Hand in Hand mit Bush den vollständigen Zusammenbruch des „fiat money“ zu verhindern suchen, denn schließlich würde der finale Kollaps des US-Dollar das Ende der privilegierten Stellung von so namhaften Banken wie Goldman, Sachs & Co., Citigroup, BNP Paribas, HSBC, J. P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, UBS und J. P. Morgan bedeuten.

The Council on Foreign Relations states the following on their website:

“Three former high-ranking government officials from Canada, Mexico, and the United States call for a North American economic and security community by 2010 to address shared security threats, challenges to competitiveness, and interest in broad-based development across the three countries.”

“North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a trinational, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries.” - May 2005 task force report Building a North American Community published by the Council on Foreign Relations

I refute these assertions categorically.

The biggest terrorist and criminal threat we face in North America is from the US government itself. There is a long history of false flag operations or self inflicted wounds like 9-11 committed by this country, so having us join them would surely not mitigate that threat, rather it would increase.

As far as competition or uneven economic development, the market will have to take care of any imbalances within itself. Just because the economy is not doing so well right now is no excuse to do away with a sovereign country, or abrogate our rights as a free individuals, or steal our resources. There is no reason to believe that secretly plotting to merge these nations against the will of their citizens would advance the well-being of anyone, instead, it would destroy our heritage and turn us all into slaves of a corporate fascist state. No thanks. Same goes for the plans to adopt a new common currency for all 3 countries, as if we should have anything to do with the corruption tied to the Federal Reserve System. I would rather not have any part of a nation that can remove people from their home, torture and imprison them, and then deny them any right to a fair trial.

Le Metropole Members,

Gold isn't profitable anymore, Spanish economy minister says

From Libertad Digital, Madrid
Friday, June 8, 2007

http://www.libertaddigital.com…s/noticia_1276307283.html

SOLBES SAYS GOLD IS NO LONGER PROFITABLE

Bank of Spain once again sells important amounts of gold in May

The Bank of Spain's gold reserves continue to dwindle. Not only did it manage to sell 20 percent of its reserves in only two months (March and April), it continued fast-paced sales in May: 28 tons.

Economy Minister Pedro Solbes claims the sales are for making the reserves profitable, but analysts foresee further rises in gold, the price of which could reach $2,000. (It currently trades at $661.50).

The Bank of Spain sold 28 tons of gold in May, as revealed by the latest Reserve Assets Report, in addition to the 80 tons sold in the months of March and April. Thus, in three months the Bank of Spain has parted with 25 percent of its gold assets.

Last Wednesday, Partido Popular Sen. Javier Sánchez Simón queried Economy Minister Pedro Solbes regarding the regulatory body's reasons for the March and April gold sales. Solbes' response was that "the intention with selling gold, an unprofitable asset, is to convert it to fixed-income bonds, which are profitable." Solbes added, "Based on this legal framework, the Bank of Spain has carried out a strengthening process of its equity situation, attempting to improve the profitability of its assets."

"Gold is no longer profitable," Solbes categorically stated.

The sales have continued in May.

... Gold could reach 2000 euros per ounce

Gold is a monetary asset and was in fact the foundation of national currencies, together with silver, until the central banks started decoupling the currencies from the metals. Nevertheless, gold still has a great deal of importance, as shown in 1980; at that time it managed to trade close to $860, which would equal about $2,000 in 2006 dollars.

Several experts believe that excess US dollar liquidity, the increasingly clear weakness of that currency, and inflation forecasts would lead one to think that many investors might once again seek shelter in gold. In this case, it could once again reach levels such as those seen in 1980. If that were the case, the profitability reasons would not be so clear.

A report last year issued by Credit Agricole's British bank Cheuvreux indeed pointed to the possibility of a $2,000/oz. price, given that gold serves as an "early crisis alert" and that currently "there is a 700-ton deficit of supply versus demand." The report believes that actual central bank reserves could be around 10,000 to 15,000 tons less than the 31,000 acknowledged that year.

There are several analysts who observe an agreed and coordinated behavior by central banks to sell gold, to prevent its price from rising too much and acting as a warning of a potential financial crisis.

Such is the position of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) and analysts such as John Embry. However, these ideas are not universally shared.

... Central bank sales

On September 26, 1999, 14 European central banks plus the European Central Bank signed the Central Bank Gold Agreement, in which they agreed to limit overall gold sales to 400 tons per year. When approaching expiry in 2004, the agreement was renewed, but with an increase of the yearly maximum sales amount from 400 to 500 tons among the 15 central banks.

Sales for 2006 reached 390 tons, but recent information indicates that the central banks may once again increase their sales levels to the 500-ton maximum.

Nevertheless, not all central banks have the same policy. Market sources point out that Russia, world's fifth-largest gold producer, bought its entire 2006 production to deposit it at the nation's central bank. In 2006 Russia's gold and currency reserves increased by $121.5 billion dollars, a 66.7 percent year-on-year increase.

That could also be the case for China, although the country's opacity prevents knowing with certainty.

Du hast nun Ablenkung und bist beschaeftigt das hat seine Vorteile.
Wer auf physisch Gold/Silber sitzt braucht sich ueberhaupt keine Sorgen machen und sollte abenso abschalten im Juni.

Das PPT feuert aus allen Rohren was wiederum zeigt sie sind verzweifelt und werden nur schwaecher Gold in dem Stil auf dem Markt zu werfen wie Spanien es gemacht hat das fast schon pleite ist.

""Erst wenn sie nicht mehr genug Futter haben bzw. alle ausgelutscht sind, dann könnte es interessant werden.""

Die Massen sind wieder mal auf ihre Luegen reingefallen und drehten sich wieder zum USD.

Astrologe Merriman schreibt ganz treffend dazu :

Die naechste Woche wird zusammen mit der nächsten energetisch gesehen von ""Gezeitenwechseln"" bestimmt. In einigen Bereichen wird eine maximale Ausdehnung und Beschleunigung erreicht, eine Art Klimax oder Flut der Kräfte (ein weiterer Höhepunkt ist zu Beginn der nächsten Woche zu erwarten).

Zudem wird es im Verlaufe der Woche zunehmend schwieriger, die vorhandenen Kräfte in einer sinnvollen Art zu steuern.

Rationales Denken und Vernunft befinden sich im Rückzug. Persönliche Betroffenheit und oft unbewusste Gefühle stehen meist am Ursprung einer Handlung und färben scheinbar logische Überlegungen......

...this can correlate to a period of “lost faith” in both systems and people that one previously relied upon.

As the earthquake-like T-square of the Sun-Jupiter-Uranus ends this weekend, we start to prepare for the next Mercury retrograde period (June 15-July 9), and the third and final passage of the Saturn-Neptune opposition (June 25). This forthcoming Mercury retrograde date of June 15 may be important, for it falls just one trading day prior to the midpoint of the entire geocosmic cluster now underway (June 4-July 1), as discussed last week.

In the case of Mercury retrograde, we can anticipate more failures in technical signals.

This is a period when support and resistance zones are oftentimes violated, or fail to be tested at all as other technical signals would have suggested.

Our policy is simple: trade very short-term during this period, taking profits quickly. Or take a vacation.

This is not usually an easy period for position traders or investors, as economic and political news items seem to be contradictory.

And at the end of long-term cycles, people tend to lose faith too, once the dominance of the downfall starts to pick up steam. But then again, with the possibility that the Saturn-Neptune opposition instead correlates with the manipulation of stock markets by something referred to as the “Plunge Protection Team (PPT),” we may never see a full-fledged bear market prior to the 2008 elections.

The PPT cannot afford to allow stock prices to cave in and thus set off the type of panic and hysteria otherwise suggested by the opposition of Saturn and Neptune....end

Der Fisch stinkt mittlerweile ueberall nur wenige nehmen es wahr.
Was weiss schon die breite Masse ueber die Freimaurer oder ueber ihre Plaene ? Warum macht keiner etwas dagegen ?
Weil die meisten wie hier auch BEHÄBIG, SELBSTGEFÄLLIG, SELBSTZUFRIEDEN, SÜFFISANT sind und sich einen Dreck kuemmern was nach ihnen kommt und nach dem Motto leben.. Hauptsache mir gehts gut !
Und geht es den anderen besser dann kommt noch die Missgunst dazu.

Die junge Generation wird das aber alles aussortieren muessen, spaetestens dann wenn sich die alte verabschiedet hat.

Dazu Merriman :

Uranus and Neptune is also the quest for world peace, and once again we see protest marches (against war, against anything restrictive) on the rise throughout the world. There were large protests in Europe last week ahead of the G-8 summit, where the theme was climate control. And according to Friday’s Wall Street Journal, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is now facing large student protests against his power grip over that country. The increase in active protests is not only a theme of Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception, whose primary goal is world peace and a safer (cleaner) environment. It is also related to Saturn in opposition to Uranus, which is the last of the “triple Saturn” oppositions taking place 2008-2010. You may remember the protests around the world that took place under the last opposition of these two planets in 1965-1967. It was a time of much unrest, change, and excitement.

The same themes are returning again, and with them, similar opportunities for long-term investment. (was das wohl ist

US military action in Iran?

2007-6-10 19:01

Washington

Senator Joseph Lieberman, a long-time supporter of the Iraq war, said on Sunday military force might be necessary to stop Iran from training and equipping extremists who are killing US troops.

"I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq," the Connecticut independent said on CBS' Face the Nation.

"And to me, that would include a strike into - over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers," he said.

Lieberman lost the Democratic primary for re-election last year because of his support for the war, but came back in the general election as an independent to be returned to the Senate.

Air power

While leaving the exact nature of a military response to the generals, Lieberman said he was not talking about a massive ground invasion, but more likely a strategic use of air power.

Lieberman said he did not oppose talking to the Iranians, as the administration did recently in Baghdad.

"If we're going to sit and talk with the Iranians, tell them what we want them to do - which is to stop doing that (arming and training Iraqis) because it's killing Americans," he said.

"They can't believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans," Lieberman said.

"We cannot let them get away with it."

In the past, Lieberman has said the United States should keep a military response as a last resort in reaction to Iran's nuclear programme.

Gold fell and is heading for the biggest weekly drop in three months. Apparently gold fell victim to the same equity selling that impacted the currency markets. As I mentioned above, much of the money invested into the equity markets has been leveraged. With the long sell-off in these equity markets, investors have been forced to sell gold to fund their margin calls. But declines will likely be limited as physical buyers take advantage of the falling prices. India, the world's largest buyer of gold, has increased its purchases of gold over the past few days.

Von einem Leser in Deutschland: (the worst case scenario)

Ein interessanter Artikel zum Thema Minen. Ich habe meine letzten Aktien letztes Jahr verkauft (Sell in May and go Away). Natürlich nach Instinkt. Das Risiko ist m. M. nach zu groß, und zwar nicht preislich, sondern bankenspezifisch und politisch. Politisch gilt: Das Gold gehört den Insidern. Private Investoren sind unerwünscht, daher ist auch folgendes Szenario denkbar für alle Edelmetallminen:

Enteignung und Verstaatlichung der Minen in allen betreffenden Ländern = somit alle privaten Investoren raus
Mine arbeitet eine zeitlang unter staatlicher Aufsicht, bis die politische Lage stabilisiert ist anschließend erfolgt Verkauf von Anteilen an Investoren, die, ähnlich wie bei Hedge-Fonds, "ausgesucht" werden dürfen
Ergebnis: Enteignung der früheren Investoren sowie Monopolstellung auf die "neue" Währung Gold/Silber.

Bankenspezifisch: Bankenkollaps, Also Frankfurt z.B. Börsen bleiben geschlossen. Niemand kommt dran. Nach Reform des Bankensektors und der Notenbanken erfolgt Ausgabe neuer Banknoten, besichert durch indirektes Gold = Goldminenaktien, die politisch notwendig dafür von den Vorbesitzern ebenfalls enteignet werden (waren ja alles Heuschrecken).
Zusätzliches Risiko sind im Fall des Bankencrashs der wütende Mob, der sich gewaltsam Zugang zu den Finanzagenturen verschafft und in Brand setzt, siehe Sturm der Stasivertretungen in der DDR, mit Aktenvernichtung.

Mein Standpunkt daher: Es gibt keine Sicherheit, außer die physische.

http://www.hartgeld.com/gold-silber-minen.htm

Kommentar W. Eichelburg:

Vielen Dank für diesen Kommentar. Der Artikel sollte primär auf die mögliche Kursentwicklung im Crash-Fall eingehen.
Die anderen Risiken wurden im Vorgänger-Artikel "Vergleich Goldminen zu physischem Gold" schon beschrieben.
Natürlich sind die Risiken bei Minenaktien grösser, allerdings ist es nicht so leicht, Aktien zu rauben und zu stehlen - anders als beim Metall. Vor allem bei grösseren Vermögen sollte meiner Meinung nach ein spekulatives Element, etwa in der Form von Minenaktien dabei sein. Aber das sollte jeder selbst beurteilen.
Ausserdem macht eine Diversifikation im Komplex Edelmetalle durchaus Sinn. Mann muss sich aber mit Gold/Silber-Minen eingehend befassen.
