Indian Gold Problem
http://www.zerohedge.com

The Indian government hopes to contain gold imports well below the 845 tones that were shipped last year.     Of course, their attempt to crush popular demand for gold merely resulted in soaring and increasingly more ingenious attempts to smuggle gold into the country.     Because this smuggling is not generating revenue for the government, they plan to relax the strict rules.

The Chinese real estate market is crumbling as housing starts have dropped 15%.     This was not at all unexpected after Chinese credit expanded from 9 trillion dollars in 2008 to 25 trillion dollars as of this month.      So, if China is the so-called “economic engine” of a fictional global recovery, imagine what will happen when the Chinese “bubble” pops.

Russian Gold Reserves
http://www.goldcore.com

Russia bought 900,000 ounces of gold in April as they continued to offload U.S. Treasuries.      Gold as a percentage of the overall Russian reserves is about 10% as they now have 34.4 million ounces.

Fake Vaccination Programs
http://www.zerohedge.com

The CIA organized a fake vaccination program in Pakistan several years ago in order to get Osama bin Laden’s family DNA.     Naturally, many Pakistanis were none too pleased about the CIA’s idiocy.     Now, the entire world may never trust any vaccine program that has any U.S. connections.    Sounds like a good thing to me.

News Is What You Think It Is
http://dailycaller.com

CNN President, Jeff Sucker err…  Zucker, said that they are not going to cover Benghazi.     Is it any wonder why CNN has sinking viewer ratings?  If CNN went off the air, would anyone seriously miss them?

Tax Grounding
http://www.nestmann.com

Newly authorized IRS access to Customs and Border Patrol databases will prevent those, whom the IRS tags with a click of a mouse, from leaving or re-entering the country.     In addition, if a proposed law takes effect, the IRS will be able to revoke passports of U.S. citizens under certain circumstances without any formal charges.

Negative Tax Rates?
http://weissratings.com

The largest Life and Annuity insurers made billions in 2013, but paid no U.S. tax on that income.    The effective tax rate of the largest 25 insurers, by asset size, was negative 8.4%.    With 21.6 billion dollars in net income, the negative effective tax rate for the top insurers equates to tax free income.

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.     Good Day!

Russia China Banking Deal
http://www.zerohedge.com

VTB, which is among Russia’s largest banks, has signed a deal with the Bank of China to pay each other in domestic currencies; thus, bypassing the need for U.S. Dollars for investment banking and inter-bank lending.   This is yet another sign that the Dollar’s days, as the world’s reserve currency, are numbered.

Intervention will End
http://kingworldnews.com

According to James Turk, inflationary pressures are building in some commodities as well as in the major stock markets.   From commodities to the Dollar index, markets are experiencing full force intervention by central planners as people’s standard of living continues to sink.    The central planners can pin down several markets for a while; however, in the end, they will lose.    This is why it is a good idea to just continue to prepare accordingly.

Gold Demand Continues
http://www.goldcore.com

After the record year for gold demand in 2013, gold demand made a robust start to 2014.    According to World Gold Council data, demand for gold only dropped by 3 tons to 1,074 tons.    Of course, the People’s Bank of China does not make their gold purchases public; thus, demand is higher than people realize.

Known for Years
http://cnsnews.com

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said that he knew for years of the VA problems that pre-dated Obama.    So Mitch, you and others allowed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of honored veterans to die in agony without lifting a finger?    This proves you do not have character, but are a character.   Any nation that cannot financially take care of its veterans should not financially fight in wars.

A judge ruled that a former TSA agent at LAX is not mentally fit to stand trial about an incident while on the job.     Shows you what you get when you post TSA job applications on pizza delivery boxes.

GM Safety
http://www.zerohedge.com

Government Motors is, for safety reasons, recalling about 2.42 million vehicles in 4 separate U.S. recalls.     This brings the number of global recalls to 15.2 million: or a stunning 56% greater than the 9.7 million cars they sold in all of 2013!     Is this yet another Obama centrally-planned success story as safety at GM is apparently a joke?

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.    Good Day!

For many years, political and business hacks have been lampooning gold and silver enthusiasts.    They have even labeled them as ‘bugs’ – meaning something to be stepped on.       With that said, history has repeatedly shown that those who have physical gold and silver have ultimately smashed those who have held paper like bugs because ultimately, all fiat currencies go to their intrinsic value of zero.

Your Call is Important To Us.
http://www.zerohedge.com

Whether it is a billing error or if a serious medical emergency has occurred, when a person phones a hospital, it is nearly impossible, with automated message systems, to through to a real person.   One would think it would be easier today where people are strapped with a phone.   Is it technology, or do hospitals, like big banks, don’t want to hear from their victims err…  customers?     Perhaps soon, Americans may know what it is like to be on a secret medical waiting list like vets.

Credit Squeeze
http://www.washingtontimes.com

In an effort to constrict commerce, the FDIC has urged banks to place a credit squeeze on gun sellers by listing them as a “high risk.”     Meanwhile, the Department of Injustice launched “Operation Choke Point”, a credit card fraud probe focusing on banks and payment processors.     So, when gun shops accept cash only, will they be viewed as money launderers?

Too Big?
http://www.cnbc.com

Because of its dominant market position, a German official is openly contemplating the break-up of Google, which is based in the United States.     So, will the paid-off U.S. government fight for a company that avoids paying U.S. taxes?    We will see.

http://gizmodo.com

I thought this was funny.     It turns out that there is a direct correlation between the falling murder rate since 2006 and the use of Internet Explorer.     So, perhaps Internet Explorer is the best browser…     To download a better browser.
