“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph”
–Haile Selassie
Unbridled confiscation and theft is not just a State of California endeavor.
David DeGraw in the following short video with Max Keiser explains how it works on an international scale. You’ll be surprised to find out who the financial death squad leader is. It’s an old game: How do we steal someone else’s wealth?
All these entitles, believe it or not, are allowed to operate in destroying the wealth of the people by our permitting them to hold powerful positions. Are we really that naive? The current problem for the Mine is, how do we get an Arkansas sized tick out of our lives when the courts are greatly stacked in the favor of prosecutors?
You take your case to the common sensed people who put these scoundrels in there in the first place.
Dave
As most folks are aware of, we have a two party con-operation of control in effect at election time – both basically wanting the same thing as they continue degrading the constitution which so many sad lives were lost in defending. These people have no shame.
They will do whatever they want until people stand up and say something like this: I don’t want the fox guarding my chicken coop anymore.
“Most of the representatives are only interested in the status quo.” The statement originates from someone in the U.S. Congress that recently wrote a letter to Mr. Martin Armstrong stating this. In November we’ll see how tired and mad voters have become with the trashing, little by little, of our Constitution.
I remember some years back a phrase from the “Dallas” show, probably Jock Ewing said this, “no one gives you power, you take it!”
I think we know who the power grabbing mongers are: you don’t have to look any further than to the hacks in government. Whose real bidding were they secretly conducting when the Glass Steagall Act was ordered torpedoed? You don’t have to look far: Who benfitted?
The Rothchilds in London, who control about half of the earth’s wealth, always seem to write their own financial future by contolling events along with manipulating the flow of information. Remember all the money they made on British government bonds following the outcome at Waterloo in 1815?
I turned in my federal reserve notes long ago for the real thing. Our Founding Fathers had every right to require gold and silver to be used in exchange as I’m sure they knew a thing or two about the bankers and government debt.
The Paradox of Regulation
by Martin Armstrong 6-03-10
An opening excerpt. The balance can be accessed from the following link:
http://www.martinarmstrong.org/files/The-Paradox-of-Regulation-God-vs-Man-6-3-10.pdf
God v Man
“Here is a strange phenomenon that is inherent in any action. My mother perhaps had the best maxim: “Even a good thing to excess is bad.” This phrase she use to say when I was growing up is such a profound wisdom, we get caught up in all the nonsense that we become blind to the effects of what we are actually doing. I have observed this phenomenon for decades both live and in my study of history. I call it the Paradox of Regulation for what happens is quite profound. The more we try to regulate something, the more we in fact Deregulate. Indeed, where god set down a simple list of just 10 Commandments, man has frustrated his world by trying to constantly improve upon them to the point there are over 15 million laws, rules and regulations that all try to say the same thing, but in the process turn the world upside down. This is the source of our problems and the torment of political vacillations. If we could just get this one right, we would solve most of our problems in society.”
—————————————————————–
Mr. Armstrong speaks the truth. Wouldn’t it be far simpler for the Company to just have to listen to the county Sheriff? Let him be the authority figure watchdog on the block with the Company’s affairs with the caveat that he or she has to answer to an elected local citizen’s over-sight committee. Let them be responsible for the 10 commandments and in the process get rid of the anti-Christ in the form of a politically appointed Water Board who doesn’t want to exercise any compassionate creative reasoning with us but hand out tickets to support their ridiculous occupational presence and outlandish incomes.
Environment issues are important but having a rag-tag group of Ligislators use it to confiscate wealth is a CRIME against mankind in the eyes of our creator.
How many governments of the world had tried to indict a company and its officers for murder in an obvious accidental and traggic death of a miner in performance of his duties? Enough is enough!
The blow-out in the Gulf, at the hands of ignorant and money thirsty British Petroleum, will prove to be the most catastrophic event against the environment in all of world’s history. Even Obama has shown he is no leader by failing to take complete charge by just naively supporting one of his large campaign contributors.
I hold our government responsible for the continuing and pending destruction of the entire Gulf, the Atlantic Ocean and along with all of their inhabitants plus the sea birds that are suffering and dying a slow death being laden with crude.
The following is an interview with an elderly gentleman well experienced in the oil business. At the end of the interview his final comment of the atrocity against nature is garbled out. I ask, for whose benefit?

We are living in another disgraceful period in world history where out-of-control corporate power not only is stealing our money via New York investment banks but now, it is destroying our planet.
How ironic it is that the flat-lander Central Water Board is chasing a ghost in the mountains with their their little rules book attempting to destroy shareholder’s wealth when, in fact, there has been no damage at all.
Visiting with Rita and Sean yesterday, and the energy is still flowing!
Rita , husband Sean and daughter Cora accompanied by Eric Rice, a well known Blue Grass aficionado, spent a long afternoon underground in the Famous Ballroom. There voices and instruments were recorded without any amplification by Steve O’Neill. The acoustics defy words.
Several wishes for the Ballroom persists. We hope to broadcast a live performance on KVMR FM radio. If you take a moment to go to the NEWS topic, page three and scroll down to March 21, 2002, you will find the big wish. Maybe the thrust of “Who Will Sing for the Miners” will come true. It is long overdue.
Yes, most of us know that Rita Hosking recorded songs in the mine this month! Googling Rita 48,000 hits arrived….
I remember the first time I heard her voice…at a Joe Craven picking-party backyard, and was floored by one of the most unique voices I’d ever heard.
I follow Rita on FaceBook and recommend the same, as well as listening to KVMR, especially her web-page. Rita’s new album is awesome.
When law enforcement prosecutes, intent is an essential element to its focus.
Law enforcement is essential to our society, accountable to a vibrant society, essential for the good of all citizens.
A lawless, unaccountable, un-elected thug should not have the blank slate to cripple and KILL a vibrant fiber of our Constitutional right to be free in this country.
On the roceord.
The ever changing face of major banks.
The general business of big banking today has significantly changed from lending out depositor’s money to using those same funds for market speculation. If that wasn’t bad enough, the government is allowing them to falsify their net worth with relaxed accounting guidelines plus they are illegally hiding their write-downs.
Future generations will look back upon this system simply, as just being fraudulent. Is there any wonder that New York State Attorney General, Andrew Cumo, is investing eight big banks for providing the ratings agencies with false information concerning mortgage securities? The problem with keeping your money at the big banks is that they don’t operate under the moral guidelines of fair play.
People generally have confidence in the FDIC to insure their money, or is it money? It’s just representative of how many bills you have to part with to exchange them for gold. If your banks fails where is it written, when you actually get your bills back? Gold is constant with what it buys, the money or what’s believed to be money, the Federal Reserve Notes, historically depreciate in purchasing power and are not constant. The Constitution defines money as gold and silver.
The Federal Reserve was created by bankers as a vehicle to bail them out at the public expense. Who bails us out? Got your gold?
The following linked article entitled U.S. Banks Illegally Hide Write-Downs by Jeff Nielson of bullionbullscanada.com clearly spells out what the banks are up to these days and what people need to know.
It appears to be a “no-brainer” today in not trusting the big banks with your hard earned Federal Reserve Notes.
You’re absolutely correct. You can add a few more scumbags that had their fingers in repealing Glass-Steagell like Phil Gramm and Robert Rubin. I’m sure the “brilliant” Larry Summers was putting his two cents in as well if he could spare any time away from demeaning women.
Why Obama chose Summers to be his economic adviser is beyond me as Summers cost Harvard $1.8 billion with his sassy and confident financial advice.
Anyway, these are the guys along with the ones Rick mentioned that will be responsible for bringing down the house. Oops, almost forgot Greenspeak. It’s comes so easily to think of politicians as, simply, inept but it goes past that: most are just greedy persistent uneducated people and look to voters as a means to their end. The free lunch. They act just like the pesky squirrels at the bird feeder until they’ve ravaged everything, then they move on.
Tonight, it was originally intended to alert everyone with one of Mr. Armstrong’s recent articles but I just couldn’t resist sticking it again to Rothchild’s boys and their paid hacks in government.
On May 6, 2010, Martin Armstrong made available on the Internet the article, The Debt Crisis – The Preview of What Is To Come.
It’s well worth the read because it will effect you and it’s not good news.
Mr. Armstrong concluded the article by saying: “Watch closely the events in Greece. It is a road map to what lies ahead. Our own politicians will do nothing. So collapse is impossible to prevent. Hang on. It’s going to get nuts.”
Got your gold?
For those of us who don’t know:
When the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed and signed by the Clinton administration in 1999, the banking world was turned loose, like a kid in a candy store. Look it up for yourselves. (Always the best way to fact-check my stuff.)
All was done with the “feel-good-vote-buying-method” assuring “affordable housing” for all who couldn’t afford what they want. Socialist parade. Sounds great when you get stuff and don’t have to pay….like getting a credit card with no baqck-up plan.
“Hey, they gave it to me, so what’s the problem…you mean I actually have to pay it back?”
“No, no really, just wait a while while we sort it, but be sure to vote for us again, since we really want you to have afforable housing. Don’t let those rascal Rebulicans take your housing away!”
Blah, blah, blah…..
This whole house of cards started with this notion, manifested by Freddy and Fanny and nobody in the television media is able to look into the mirror because it would break on impact.
By design, I mention again, because once endentured, always dependent.
Consider the dependent-on-government-household….why would they ever vote away their gift, their cash-from Obama’s-stash, their ugly dependency??? Never. Vote buying on parade.
Back to the repeal of Glass-Steagall Act: it was the enabler to this crap. Prior, while the Glass-Steagall Act was in place (over 50 years, look for yourself please), mortgage banks interests were by law separate from investment houses…hence the risk management of mortgages was in check by the marketplace. To wit: you couldn’t recieve a house mortgage from an investment bank, and visa-vera, an investment bank couldn’t issue you a mortgage, hence insuring the housing market’s reality.
The repeal of the Glass-Steagall act by Bill Clinton’s administration changed all that, and the political doors were open to the gullible masses….
“You mean I can buy this for nothing down? Don’t have to prove my income? Well, bless the Democrats!!! I’ll vote for them forever!!”
And then when the ess hit the fan, they still want the candy to come back.
WAKE THE EFF UP!!!!!!
We have the Barny Franks, Chris Dodds, Bill Clintons, B-Bams to blame for the entire mess.
Our parents taught us: “You can’t get something for nothing.”
And I’ll add a new one: “Stop thinking and voting that way.”
Dear Jim(Sinclair),
Here comes the litigation you warned about years ago. It looks more like fraud than mismanagement and the accounting firms seem to have helped every step of the way (just like Enron and Arthur Anderson). This is going to end badly (and already is). Every book of every corporation in the West is now suspect. My God, what have these people done?

CIGA PedroFormer Iceland bank chief hit by $2bn lawsuit
By Andrew Ward in Stockholm
Published: May 12 2010 14:20 | Last updated: May 12 2010 14:20One of the main figures behind Iceland’s banking boom and bust has been hit by a $2bn lawsuit that accuses him of a “fraud” that contributed to the collapse of Glitnir Bank.
The rest of the article is available at jsmineset.com.
The fiat money bosses are getting really concerned lately as more and more people are putting their savings into gold and silver and dumping the fiats. What to do? As the politicians and their string pullers think it over. One new angle is to tax the producing companies and break the confidence of their shareholders who are hedging their exposure to paper money with share ownership. Another unspoken one could possibly be the encouragement of a few select banks to naked short all the mining shares.
And now the article below that makes a fruitcake-case for why gold will have to return to $800 an ounce.
Gentlemen: We are in a major bull market in gold. warning: Fight with it as you may, this big daddy of a bull will not be taking hostages.
From Jon Nadler’s(the perennial gold bear) recent commmentary at Kitco.com:
Speaking of price corrections, at least possible future ones, Michael Crook, VP & Strategist at Barclays Wealth (the UK’s largest money manager with nearly a quarter-trillion in assets under management) made a stunning (for some) prediction on TheStreet.com that aired yesterday. Warning: not for the squeamish.
Mr. Crook argued that once the current crisis is over and gold starts to reflect its ‘fair, adjusted for monetary policy (post liquidity extraction) price.’ That price is about $800 per ounce in Mr. Crooks’ opinion. Yes, not the $7,000 per ounce price TheStreet.com was offered last week by one of its rip-roaringly perma-bullish guests. Mr. Crook is thus shorting the GLD. Period. Buying Jan. 2012 puts, to be precise. He also sees platinum and palladium (bullion and ETFs) as the ‘winners for the next decade.’
If you have it, they will tax it(or attempt to steal it).
Mine our resources? Then pay the taxman
Australia to impose 40% tax on resource companies’ profits
by BLOOMBERG
05:55 AM May 03, 2010CANBERRA – Australia will impose a 40-per-cent tax on the profits of resource companies like BHP Billiton and the Rio Tinto Group to pay for infrastructure, retirement and company levy changes, as part of the broadest overhaul of its tax system since World War II.
The government, responding to Treasury Secretary Ken Henry’s 10-year tax plan, said the resource tax would start in 2012 and raise A$12 billion ($15.2 billion) in its first two years.
The move is to better tap the nation’s mining boom fuelled by commodities demand from China and India, and comes as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd prepares for an election later this year.
“This will use super profits on resources owned by all Australians,” Mr Rudd told reporters, saying he was prepared for a backlash. “This will help convert Australia’s strong economic position today into enduring prosperity.”
The changes set up a potential clash between Mr Rudd and resources companies that make up 9 per cent of the economy and which last week warned that a 40-per-cent levy and double taxation with state royalties would threaten some US$108 billion ($148 billion) worth of planned investment.
“If implemented, these proposals seriously threaten Australia’s competitiveness, jeopardise future investments and will adversely impact the future wealth and standard of living of all Australians,” BHP’s chief executive officer Marius Kloppers said yesterday. The company’s effective tax rate will increase to 57 per cent from 2013, from 43 per cent now on its Australian earnings, it said.
BHP – the world’s biggest mining company with 51 per cent of its assets in Australia – will have earnings cut by 19 per cent as a result of the tax, Merrill Lynch said in an April 27 report. Rio Tinto, the world’s second-largest iron ore exporter, which has about one-third of its assets in Australia, would see a 30-per-cent earnings cut.
The government said it will compensate companies for the state royalties they have paid. But the critics were vocal.
The government runs the risk of “taking away from Australia the strongest industry we have and the one that saved us from the global financial crisis”, said Mr Keith De Lacy, chairman of Brisbane-based Macarthur Coal, the world’s largest producer of pulverised coal.
Mr Rudd’s Labour government commissioned the tax review two years ago to create a simpler and fairer system to meet the needs of a growing and ageing population.
The government will use the resource tax revenue to create an A$5.6-billion infrastructure fund, cut company taxes to 28 per cent in mid-2014 from the current 30 per cent, and boost retirement funds, now worth A$1.3 trillion.
From the AAA’s Travelers’s Companion, via – May + June 2010:
“But for all the gold in safes and jeweley shops and Fort Knox, plenty is still in the ground. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that 33,000 metric tons–nearly 1.2 billion ounces–awaits discovery in the United States, mainly in the west.”
From the article, Eureka! Gold In The West. Author: Chris Woolston
Listening to congress on C-span, they had the Commodities exchange type S.E.C. in for an inter view in front of the Senate. There will be a contract exchange clearing house set up to monitor the Derivative Market contracts. To provide full disclosure for review of contract exchange, and underlining value of the product. This market will not allow General banks to participate only market Banks.
Dave, it sounds like help is on the way, or is it?
The current outstanding OTC derivatives have the potential to completely burn down our financial house, many times over. Currently, there are enough of these garbage type contracts, if ever to be settled, that represent per person $190,000 each on the planet, or for a total $1,144 trillion as of December, 2007. The real scary news is that financial entities just keep increasing that size.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=12753
These derivatives are basically insurance vehicles with no collateral behind them but many contracts are just used as betting devices, no different than the wagering that took place in the bucket shops during Jesse Livermore’s days.
Chris Dodd has sponsored a new financial regulations bill in the Senate, debate is continuing. Isn’t Chris Dodd the same guy that took financial favors from lending institutions without disclosing it? Remember Phil Gramm? He was also a supposedly, “do gooder.”
What Gramm was instrumental in accomplishing, along with two other sponsors, was the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Bill in 1999 that gathered support from Clinton, Rubin, Greenspan and a cast of other “do gooders” in the murdering of the Glass Steagal Act that was originally set up to contain banker’s greed and protect the people from that excess. The bankers tactical lust for more and more money was always with the same approach: Get them over-leveraged and then drop the boom. The end result was always the same, pain for Americans. Citizens got so incensed that they actually dragged bankers out of their offices in NYC following the panic of 1907 and hung many of them until federal troops arrived.
Is Chris Dodd another “do gooder?”
Derivatives are a complicated subject, few understand them. You just have to have Jay Leno interview passer-by’s on Hollywood Blvd. to prove this point.
I’m not too sure what you’re speaking of when you say, general banks and market banks. How would this effect, as a few examples, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, they drive on both sides of the street(investment and commercial banks) in financial circles as a result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act?
I certainly hope there is an ever lasting fix for all the trouble these banking institutions have caused us all. But let’s get real, this sector is always handing out money to the so-called last resort regulators in Congress and Senate. The question is following this media circus to pacify the furious people of this land: Will we still be used as a conduit from someone else’s wealth into the coffers of the bankers, meaning the likes of Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan?
We all require leadership and someone to fall back on during trying times as we interact domestically and internationally with other countries and people. So far, our leaders have let us down as well as our representatives in governement.
Will they fix the gigantic derivatives mess? Their poor track record of failing to insure our well being(Social Security??) on a regular basis in the past strongly suggests otherwise.
Some comments from Jim Sinclair at jsmineset.com tonight concerning our over-paid and incompetent representatives in Washington(not to forget our own):
“I actually heard a major personality in the legislative say that the old derivatives could be fixed by new legislation. That it total world class crap. These guys making laws do not have a clue what they are doing. No standards means there cannot be a fix. An OTC derivative that is listed is no longer and OTC derivative, it is a listed derivative. What these guys do not know could fill a massive void of space.”
Gold is the only answer. Maverick, aka Don Jones P.S. We both love Rae so we can’t be all bad. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
Hey Rick, I’m not arguing with you experts – after 86 years of experiencing history, including the Great Depression, 3 1/2 years in a Real war and several times around some bumpy blocks(even a little gold mining), I finally realize that I can’t solve any International problems and, in fact, not even my own! At this point I don’t give a damn if the greedy people inhabiting this little blob in space file for bankruptcy, (as the scenerio unfolds) – this will just be another little blip in history as far as I am concerned.
More gold uncovered at the past producing Haile Gold Mine in South Caroline located within the Carolina Slate Belt of southeastern, U.S. The Carolina Slate Belt runs from Virginia to Alabama.
A company by the name of Romarco Minerals has been drilling the property for about the last 18 months with previous finds less spectacular than their currently reported “best ever” of 11.9 G/T gold across 60.7 meters. Romarco says they have 2.2 million ounces of gold as they continue to proof up more with further drilling.
Even here in California New Gold, operating close to the Mexican border, is proving up more gold in their newly acquired Mesquite Mine plus increasing gold production. Expect California’s gold production to start increasing again with Mesquite’s contribution.
The Mesquite Mine is currently an open-pit low grade operation. One wonders what hurdles New Gold had to jump over to get their permits? California is an intermationally known anti-mining state. The well known 29 year experienced Mickey Fulp, mercenary geologist, has stated on different occassions that California is anti-mining and should be avoided by investors.
The South Carolina gold rush started soon after a farmer brought in a large gold nugget for sale to a jeweler in 1802 from a stream on his farm that his son had found around 1795. For the preceding years the dirty nugget had been used as a door stop.
South Carolina’s gold rush was America’s first, reaching a fever pitch in the 1820’s through the 1830’s.
I continue to write my State representatives accusing the Water Board of evoking their powers out of self-interest to insure that funds are available for their payroll checks from demands for that money from corporate California via their improperly and shamefully imposed assessments.
Dave, there is a vast difference between racial-profiling and national-profiling.
I do have mixed feelings about it, to some degree. Apparently there is some question about ‘probable cause’ being part of the equation. I definitely DO NOT endorse random profiling.
Dave…what then, should we do?
It is rather telling when federal over-regulation rams its authority into business, and then completely ignores its obligation to secure our borders (and boarders.)
The congrats that I wrote to the people of Arizona was not to endorse incarceration and deportation (or anything of the kind seen in Germany)of an ethnic group. It was meant to show the contrast between states rights and federal apathy in security, while federal over-regulation never
goes away.Also to point out that the lack of border enforcement by the current administration is, by design, an attempt to add voters to its cause which will manifest itself when ‘immigration-reform’ results in more recipients of social-program dollars, more dependency and the inevitable cycle.
This directly will affect all of us, including the Mine, when, when power in Washington reaches into our pockets and regulates and fines private enterprise out of existence.
I disagree with you Rick, I like other opinions of yours, but I think Arizona has gone to far in this racial profiling policy. It is akin to a police state similar to Nazi Germany during the Second World War, as they used such policy to challenge there Jewish Population.
Last on gold is $1154.10 as the $1160 area has attracted paper gold sellers on the Comex, some call it the Crimex. These guys are round- numbered-sellers, so it’s better for buying coins when prices are reacting from these number plus zero areas rather than when they are approaching.
The SEC and the CFTC are inept organizations. It’s a shame for there are some respectable people in employment there but they will always be subject to their handler’s orders just to feed their families.
The government’s blank check policy concerning national security is being used against Americans to steal their wealth and so-called freedoms in supporting a faltering fiat currency system. A current example is the CFTC ignoring testimony at recent hearings concerning proof of the manipulation in the gold market presented by Bill Murphy of Gata(available by searching youtube). This government sponsored suppression scheme has cost our company dearly.
Restraining gold as much as is possible keeps some attention off the debt ridden greenback. Watching youtube broadcasts of the recent hearings clearly demonstrates what clowns some of these CFTC representatives really are. Can’t imagine the stuffed shirts in Sacramento being much different.
The SEC isn’t any better, wanting more power for more regulation thus creating more disfunction in the economy. Regulations have their place in society but over regulation just fouls things up Big Time which the government has proven to be the case over and over again. Martin Armstrong said it all in his last article at http://www.martinarmstrong.org.
It was shocking to learn that senior SEC staffers were watching hours of porn on their computers while our financial system was melting away in 2008. Maybe they watch it all the time, as it took them up to 10 years to prove their simple case against Bernard Madoff.
Most government employees are utter disgraces to the memories, mentioning just a few of them, of the men and women who sacrified their lives defending our freedoms on Iwo Jima, Midway and Bataan.
THe SEC and porn:
Congratulations to the People of Arizona for taking stock of the duty our Federal “government” has seen fit to ignore.
New focus in Washington….Deflect the argument: focus on immigration, out of the blue. RUN TO THE NEWEST CRISIS POTENTIAL!!!
This is what they are doing in Washington to eventuate the enrollment of new voters. Gotta buy new votes, right? Bring in the color / race card.
(Sorry, I don’t disagree with anyone’s color, the president’s included, instead I disagree with the policy statements issued by the ‘president’ that suggest questions of citizen illegality, the sovereignity of our borders, are somehow ‘mis-guided.’
Huhhh????
This directly relates to our Mine…because the same forces buying votes from potential voters are the same forces are attempting to derive their funding and sob-story-base via thug hold-em-up theft in the name of…wait, Mav, keep reading….
REGULATION.
Peter Schiff spoke intelligently yesterday concerning rules and regulations and the proposed new ones that Congress seems intent on signing into law. The link to yesterday’s inverview is at the bottom of the page.
As a side note, the Water Board is destructive to private investment and produces absolutely NOTHING but trouble. How can an economy grow with these fellas orchestrating fines and penalties as they continue to annihilate our hopes of partially returning back to a healthy economy supported by full employment at the mine?
These guys should have a little self-respect for themselves and learn a trade so they can produce something real for the economy other than leaching off of it.
These imbeciles are nothing less than public servant thugs. Their pursuit of the status quo in the State Legislature in mandating these attack vampires along with the private sector source of their income from imposed fines and penalties is casting a dark shadow on this body concerning their responsibilities in keeping the State economy healthy as opposed to vandalizing it and shrinking their very own revenues in the process. It is beyond me how these representatives can care more about their own skins and not the people that they were elected to protect. Rick is right, this out of control environmental obssession is just a grab for more power to satisfy their sociopathic hungers. It will never stop until a new crew comes aboard, considering the State doesn’t sink before that time.
No one cares more about environmental safeguards than employees of our company and its loyal shareholders. We absolutely don’t need these carpetbaggers rearranging Sierra Country’s economy for the worst while gold is at $1157.50 and on the move again.
A higher gold price will help the County’s economy tremendously. It would have been better if working in the steams wasn’t outlawed by the fools which summons the question: Why is the State meddling so much in the affairs of a tiny County by California standards which may have less than 4,000 people living in it?The Water Board’s grasp to tax businesses to support their mortgages while producing nothing but trouble is plain and simply, tyranny. Vote every loafer out of California government when its your turn.

I also agree with Rick.
Mav, by 2016 our number one standing will be given up to China, period. Already an exodus has begun led by graduating PHD’s according to Gerald Celente. Even foreigners who migrated here for economic opportunities are returning home. Our years of economic dominance will end in six years according to Mr. Armstrong.
Rick speaks of history, he has it right.
Our dislocated economy would have a chance according to Martin Armstrong if it were not for the SEC and Congress. Even Obama who speaks with such spirit and conviction is off track. The following is a paragraph from Mr. Armstrong’s latest commentary, http://www.martinarmstrong.org/files/The-Paradox-of-Solution-4-18-10.pdf
“It is one of the strangest paradox event of all time when the solution to the immediate crisis became restoring the very system that created the previous crisis. Yet there is a serious problem lurking behind regulation changes both circulating in Congress and now those proposed by the SEC. There is simply a complete lack of understanding of how the global economy system even functions. Those who are proposing these regulations are clearly lost and remain clueless even about the evolution of the entire financial system that has in fact brought us to the point of no return. We are about to commit economic suicide and that seems simply unstoppable.”
I learn and acquire an improved ability to think and reason thanks to Mr. Armstrong’s uncanny ability to teach. If you elect to acquire more financial and monetary knowledge, accessing the provided link would be a great start.
Maverick has it wrong, again.
The purpose of new government regulation is to constrain the private sector into submission, not a re-building under a new cloak of environmental glory. Bam and his plan to ‘change’ ultimately sweeps in to take over themselves when regulation can’t be fought.
Bully-on-the-playground-crap-with-a-large-dose-of-deception-to-those-without-history thrown in. We have enough laws. When NEW government regulations are implemented by non-elected boards, everyone with a backbone of Constitutional knowledge needs to stand up and take notice (or grow some xxs and actually read it.
We need to invoke our Constitution to protect what it stands for (read into that every implication they meant when they wrote it.) Regulation is a disguise term for control. Willing sheep won’t notice, Mav. Anyone who doubts this should wonder why acgtual contibuters to the growth of our economy are scarce, and where and how government presumes to exist without private sector funding.
(For the record…ANY new government-sector job-holder would, by definition, will need to pay 100% income tax to justify the job. Math is intrinsic. Think about it.)
Hint: the private sector’s support of the public money to the treasury is systematically being regulated out of existence. This is by design. This is by design because the ONLY place public government money originates comes from a regenerating source.
SO WHY??? So why would I suggest that this new regulation confiscatory model of depleting the private-sector golden-goose cash-cow is is in place? AGAIN, it is by DESIGN, so that when nothing is left standing, only the A-holes with totalitarian authority step in.
And non of us will be able to stop it.
History shows us this over and over and over, and studying history would go a long way to informing you, Mav. The blattant conclusion that I draw is that you are intentionally ignoring it. WHY?
The simple model is seen in many western movies…it’s that silly of a script. But when enough people believe that it’s good how a corrupt sheriff is in control for THEIR own good, the sheriff’s sitting there with all his croney thugs and guns…
It’s remotely possible that I have this wrong. But I seriously doubt it. Look at what is happening to our mine here.
And instead of being ignorant and naiive, wake up, unless you also want this to happen.
The crowd who thinks thinks NEW Government regulation is actually good for everyone, has an a diabolic design.
My second, third and fourth paragraphs above make this pretty clear.
Since FUBAR Bush practically destroyed our standing as number one nation in the world maybe we should give a new voice at least four years to regain some of our lost glory before we give him the boot.
Bluejay, We are on the same side of this issue. I do not support the over intrusive regulating authority of the E.P.A.. I think Senator Reid has already lost his reelection. He has lost support.
I am looking forward to a republican land slide in November to throw the Democrats out. So keep up the good fight.
When a democrat is a good president is when he has to deal with a Republican controlled Senate, and House. Remember what happened to Clinton after 2 years of a majority.From the 4-22-10 daily Casey Dispatch:
Hard Times for Hardrock Miners – Postponed
By Donald Grove, Casey Research Washington Correspondent
No surprise, but I just wanted to pass on my observations on Jeff Bingaman’s (D-NM) Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act introduced in the Senate last year. This bill, like the hardrock mining bill passed by the House in 2007, would “reform” the General Mining Act of 1872 with the net effect of constraining hardrock mining in the U.S.
The consensus from mining state congressional offices, where I recently asked about the status of hardrock mining reform, is that the legislation will not proceed in this Congress, in large part because of the difficult reelection battle Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) is facing. Reid, who hails from a key mining state, will not risk letting hardrock mining reform come to the Senate floor with mid-term elections looming, despite support for mining reform from the Obama administration.
David again. At this point, the best we can hope for is that the Democrats lose their strong majority in the November elections, so that the nation can move back to the political gridlock that is so effective at throwing legislative roadblocks in front of counterproductive new laws. It’s the best one can hope for in a degraded democracy.
From the 4-21-10 Daily Casey Dispatch:
Dear Reader,
As you know only too well, I am against the choking tangle of government dictates and regulations that hinder the free flow of entrepreneurial blood in this nation, any nation.
At this crucial moment in American history, a moment that may lead to the end of America’s monetary hegemony and much worse than that, the nation’s leadership should be cutting back the regulatory tangle, and not piling it on as they are.
Which brings me to an initiative out of the EPA that is enough to bring a sane person to their knees: a government-sponsored contest whereby the citizenry are being encouraged to make short videos in favor of federal regulation.
Please don’t read this unless you are sitting…
As explained in the EPA press release announcing the contest, the purpose of the videos will be to remind the public that federal regulation touches “almost every aspect” of their lives and to promote how important those regulations are.
“The contest will highlight the significance of federal regulations and help the public understand the rulemaking process. Federal agencies develop and issue hundreds of rules and regulations every year to implement statutes written by Congress. Almost every aspect of an individual’s life is touched by federal regulations, but many do not understand how rules are made or how they can get involved in the process.”
… “With a short 60 to 90 second video, citizens should capture public imagination and use creativity, artistic expression and innovation to explain why regulations are important to everyone, and motivate others to participate in the rulemaking process.”
The videos must both educate viewers on the government’s regulatory process and encourage them to become more involved in it. The videos must remind viewers that regulations are laws written by the executive branch.
“Federal agencies write laws called regulations or rules,” the contest’s information guidelines states. “When Congress writes a statute and the President signs it, it usually doesn’t have enough detail for it to be put into effect. So, federal agencies fill in the details by issuing regulations.”
The videos must also remind viewers that regulations are the law and that they actually outnumber laws passed by Congress on the order of 10-1.
“Regulations have the power of law. Breaking them can result in fines and even jail time. Regulations outnumber Congressional statutes. For every statute passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, federal agencies create about 10 regulations, each of which have the force of law.”

David again. You can watch a helpful video from the EPA that explains how you, too, can create your video entry.
I could make a number of comments in response to this latest government initiative, but all would be predictable and rude. As I prefer not to be either predictable or rude, I will leave it by saying that whatever emotive response you had to reading that entry, I probably had as well.
Yes, our main focus is to stay on point here within this forum, how things affect the mine, and all of us connected. I initially started it to point out the similarities of current distractions employed in and by Washington, to today’s harassment of the mine by the CRWQCB. Both employ non-truths to empower their political motives.
Just finished reading the latest Martin Armstrong report from http://www.martinarmstrong.org.
One significant point hit home hard:
Money is leaving outstanding government debt and headed into the stock market and gold. As you know, there is 10 times more money in bonds than in stocks. Not all bonds represent sovereign debt, there is corporate debt.
The bottom line: higher stock market prices, along with gold prices, silver included, will be fueled with funds exiting government debt. Most shocking from the article was, sovereign debt is expected to collapes by 2016.
Rick really has it right when he basically says, one of the last things they haven’t taken away from us, yet, is our vote. This is the one thing that agents of Rothchild and the family worry most about, an organized attempt with our votes to displace their power structure.
The following is some perspective from inside Congress as quoted from an anonymous Congressperson in a letter written to Martin:
“The tyranny of the status quo is pretty strong around here… Individuals’ desire for things to be “normal” is quite strong. The most recent actions by Congress in the face of a potential wave of sovereign wealth defaults is a good example of policy makers wanting to see the world as they wish it to be, rather than the way it is…
Seeing the pundits and a few members of Congress who called it right prior to the 2008 meltdown remain marginalized even after having gotten it right – and seeing these who were totally wrong come out of this circumstance with even more power than before – has not been heartening.
It’s quite obvious what’s been going on for a long time: slowly the public servants have been using the trust of the people to bleed them of their rights and wealth so now those servants of the mansion of State along with their cronies in finance will be the new owners of the wealth and the rights guaranteed to us by our fore founders.
Yes we did, we barrowed the money, that we paid back with high tax rates in the early 50’s and 60’s. After the war. We also had accumulated a tax reserve. The value of gold was increased to $35 from $22 per ounce. The very wealthy were willing to invest in our nation, due to our capability to defend the free world.
Dave…
We weren’t in debt then.
…continuing from my statement below…
This can’t possibly happen, in a free United States.
Unfortunately, it is happening. Freedom, for this president, is his personal road-block.
Oh, how over-joyed the CNNs and MessNBCs are reporting “promising new job numbers” today.
Milton Freeman’s knowledge of supply-side economic growth correctly pointed out that private sector growth concurrently grows revenue to the Treasury, given an optimal tax rate…too large a tax-rate %, and too small a tax-rate % both slow revenue to the Treasury.
Most certain of all: public-sector-government-jobs deplete revenue to the Treasury.
ANY new public-sector-government job-holder would need to pay 100% income tax, JUST FOR THE TREASURY TO BREAK EVEN !
This new Regime ‘president’ is gloating about creating government jobs, essentially admitting he is sending us deeper and deeper into debt, blocking private-sector growth, jack-boots on our throat.
This can’t possibly happen
