    Any under ground area would help to block remote mind reading frequencies. See http://www.hourofthetime.com/mindcont.htm This site will explain how remote mind control technology works. “To save your Mind, go into a Mine”. I thought that one up. Oh yeah!

    Underground excavations have a long history for preserving items of value. Ours has a near constant fifty degrees temperature. The sun or other forms of light are not a factor of concern. Humidity depends of the nature of the deposit where one stands. The million plus cubic feet of space range from dry to moist to wet. It is fireproof and would be difficult to rob. High frequencies are not a legal problem. Inquirers welcomed.

    This topic will have a short singular life before moving to Miscellaneous.

    I think that thought controlled airplanes would be pretty scary. *BUT* I am having a bit of trouble making the connection to the Original Sixteen To One mine.

    With thought controlled Airplanes being advertised for sale now. Perhaps our Gold mines may become worth more in protection from remote mind reading technology in the future. See Foxnews.com for the “Thought Controlled Airplane”, under the technology section. This is no joke. What do you think about this?

    California’s Billion Dollar Mistake

    Dear Laissez Faire Today Reader,

    The state of California thought they had it all figured out with the Monterey Shale deposits. Sure, the state was a financial disaster, with a bloated budget and special interests making it impossible for any significant change. But that didn’t matter because the state politicians found their “get out of jail” free card.

    At least that was years ago, when an independent firm hired by the government told the state 13.7 billion barrels of oil lay underground. That’s a deposit larger than the Bakken deposits in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford shale find in Texas. Both those states are took advantage of their oil resources and are in the midst of an economic boom.

    So California thought they were about to join in on the fun…
    That was, until the most recent estimate. You see, the original firm slightly overstated how rich the California deposit was. And by “slightly” we mean they overestimated it by 96%. Instead of there being over 13 billion barrels of oil, there’s only… 600 million.
    Sure, that might sound like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing. And to many California politicians who were promised vast oil riches, it’s an absolute disaster. Now they can’t wait for the black gold payday that so many other states have enjoyed in recent years. Instead, they’re stuck trying to come up with ways to torture their financial numbers, and hold off their state’s financial reckoning day for another year.

    So what’s the Golden State going to do? Probably dig themselves a deeper hole. When politicians (even ones at the state level) put their money on the entrepreneurial spirit of oil businessmen, you know they’re just asking for trouble.

    Back in 1966, the Beatles released their song “Taxman” as a protest against the 95% “supertax” rate introduced by Harold Wilson’s Labour government, which the band had to pay. The point is, taxes do not go to help the people as much as the socialists claim. Most go to government employees and now we face massive promises and unfunded pension plans. These people have paid themselves so well, it is no different from Yanukovych’s corruption, just not to such an extreme. Nonetheless, these government officials are lowering the standard of living for everyone else and driving the unemployment rate through the roof. They cannot see that a public servant is no different economically from having a maid at home who consumes your income and adds nothing to it. What is worse, the maid has access to your bank accounts and gives herself a raise whenever she spends too much and it is your problem if there is not enough left in the account for yourself.

    In Bangkok, the rising tide in anti-government demonstrations has led to a warning that any disruption of air traffic controllers may now result in a 15 year prison term. We are seeing this same trend against free speech appearing around the world. In Spain it is a €600,000 fine to protest in Parliament. As socialism continues to implode governments we will see rising civil unrest and a contagion of municipal defaults not just in the USA, but nearly 50% of municipal governments in Germany are unsound. The degree of government debt that may simply implode is staggering. We are not looking at hyperinflation, but massive deflation for the state and local levels are incapable of increasing the money supply to bail themselves out.

    Separatist Movements are Also Alive in the USA – Goodbye California?
    Posted by Martin Armstrong
    Europe-Separatist Movement

    I have reported how there are separatist movements cropping up all over the place. We will see Scotland come to a vote this year in 2014 about separating from the United Kingdom. As taxes rise and finger-pointing increases, the rising trend is to separation. The building resentment in Southern Europe to break away from the Eurozone is gaining support in Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The only thing they got out of the deal besides higher debts was import-duty-free German cars and French wine. Most restaurants in Rome will not even serve French wines. Even in Switzerland the bias is toward Italian wines.

    The separatist trend is also alive and well and we will see this movement gaining popularity with the Bible-Belt looking to separate from the USA leaving the Democrats to themselves. If the Democrats won in 2016, there might be civil war. This separatist movement exists even in Texas, but now it is rising higher in California. There, it is primarily North v South, but there is an argument to divide California into 6 states. This is all part of the decline and fall of socialism. Obamacare has been a total disaster. Even my personal insurance went up by 20% and others a lot more or cancelled. It would have been cheaper to just pay the medical bills for the 1.1 million people and leave the rest of us alone. But no possible way. The government has a policy. If it ain’t broken – break it. And if it is broken – try to screw it up so bad you can blame someone else. If it does work well, there must be something wrong.

    Feinstein Dianne (2)

    My only question to California – if you do break up into 6 states, who takes Diane Feinstein? I would donate if you made her a State Senator rather than Federal.

    Thanks for this, Blue Jay. Most interesting! I will especially check out LODE that this guy pointed out.

    Some of the mining stocks are so dirt cheap right now that you have to be nuts not to buy them. LODE looks like it’s trading around $1.70 right now.

    The article also mentioned an ETF traded under the symbol GDX – I had been looking at that one earlier myself.

    Another good one is the “Spider S&P Metals and Mining ETF” or XME. That one has exposure to different kinds of mining including but not limited to gold. The thing about an ETF is that you can get exposure to a lot of different companies at once so if one or two go belly up, you don’t get hurt as badly. Last spring I bought Sutter and I’m prbly gonna lose all my money. Fortunately, we are only talking a couple hundred bucks so it won’t kill me. Had I not bought Sutter, I probably would have just spent my money on something stupid, anyways.

    Regards.

    The situations with both companies or operations have existed for months. Sutter Gold had a complicated funding arrangement where money flowed from South Africa to Australia to its operation in California. Key management left. Overstated production claims were recognized as bloated or false. Major shareholders are probably trying to figure out what to do next.

    Grass Valley had a deadline for funding the continuation of the permitting process, which was not met. The proposed operation is dead.

    One thing I have noticed is that Sutter Gold has taken a big tumble in the last few trading days. Has anybody else noticed that?

    Also of interest, I noticed yesterday that Emgold has now completely removed the Idaho-Maryland project from their website.

    From Martin Armstrong:

    A possible third California City, Desert Hot Springs, has announced that it may seek bankruptcy protection since it will run out of money come March. This would be the third city in that state along with San Bernardino and Stockton to seek court protection from creditors. This is how pensions will be renegotiated at the municipal level where they cannot just print money like the Feds.

    Nice mention of Alleghany in the Oct/Nov Pick & Shovel Gazette. First time I heard of the Sixteen was in a Gold Prospectors Magazine article after you found that pocket in the eighties.
    One of the most authentic Gold Rush towns to be found, where the largest pockets of gold in the world have been found.
    Wish he would have added working Gold Rush town, with a working publicly traded gold mine.
    All the luck at finding another plum like that or larger, it sure would help right about now!!!

    Hi Mike, go in to Robinson Timber, the truck parts section, they can help you with an antenna. what you get will partly depend on your vehicle, Magnetic mount ones work pretty well, then there are the stainless steel whips, twin co-phased and lots of other options, but I would keep it simple for now. You could set a c b in the seat, plug it in to the power source in the cab, and run the coax out the window to a magnetic mount antenna placed in the center of the roof of the cab, easy to set up, relatively cheap, and it would let you know if you can reach anyone. you might also google C B clubs for the area you are interested in.

    Thanks writers. So, I get one for the truck and drive the area to find out if a base can hear me. I buy a $50 mobile unit for the truck.

    What about its antenna, not the base antenna? Should the mobile unit boost its sending power? If so, what are costs and options?

    I will do this then seek information about the needs of a base station to monitor the mobile unit. Ideas?

    CB with a 100 amp boost might work, it will depend on where the nearest base stations are. You can buy a nice little Uniden CB from General Trailer for around 50.00, You Might need a directional antenna, I once talked from Hershberger meadows above Prospect Oregon into Medford with one hooked to the booster, with an antenna we put up in a tree, we had it as communication for the vet checks on a horse endurance ride. I had one as a kid where we lived in a canyon 5 miles out of Myrtle Creek Ore. And I regularly talked to a friend in Myrtle Creek.
    If you know some one who has one in their PU have them break for a radio check in the area you need to check out, and see if you get any response. Alternatively you could put an add in the local paper asking for help from local CBers, if they know there is a need they may well step up and help. Big Al

    Thinking ham radio, but with no generator/power that is an issue.

    If it is just solely for potential health issues, maybe get a SPOT emergency GPS transmitter.

    Sat phones are pretty expensive, not my area of expertise but I am guessing
    $500-$1000.

    My brief search on Google under CB radio left me in doubt about a situation. Our caretaker at property about six air miles and ten dirt road miles in mountainous Trinity County has health issues. There is no electricity or phone service. He has a truck.(he’s a 79 year old vet…(Marine). I want to get him communications that work. It seems like the antenna is key not the unit itself. Used equipment is okay as cost is an issue; however reliability in bad weather trumps all.

    From Martin Armstrong:

    The Pension Crisis is far different from the Mortgage Crisis. Now we are fooling around with the very issue that even destroyed the Roman Empire. Only a moron would promise pensions to state workers and then expect that they can just tax people forever so there was no need to actually fund such things. We are looking at state and municipal bankruptcies like Detroit where 50% of tax revenue was going to pensions. They keep raising taxes because they also refuse to reform or reduce the size of government. This causes a Phase Transition in the cost of government. We are going to see taxes soar in the USA to the point they will most likely DOUBLE. This will drive more and more capital underground, reduce LIQUIDITY future that is the destruction of a cooperative civilization, and this will further reduce the VELOCITY of money. This is how ALL empires, nations, and city states have died – by their own hand.

    For better real-time data acquisition from the ground monitoring devices, gas sensors, equipments used in the Underground Mines, and most importantly for locating the trapped miner, the deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is very much indispensable. The traditional methods using wire communication was found to be inefficient and ineffective at the time of mine hazards such as roof falls, side falls etc… Before implementing any wireless system, the variable path loss indices that imply the losses of signal in different environment should be determined for better localization. Localization of low cost sensor nodes using Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) model gives some error due to the shadow fading of signal.

    I reported that the object of the IRS is now to regulate accountants doing your taxes. The real idea is to expand the Draconian measures that any foreign bank that does not report what Americans are doing will be subject to have their assets confiscated in the USA. This has resulted in throwing out Americans from especially Europe. Now the IRS is seeking to impose regulations on accountants and then they will impose an obligation that they will also be required to report anything to the IRS. Barclays Plc has announced that it will cease offering wealth management services in about 130 countries by 2016.

    What is entirely possible is the Sovereign Debt Crisis could be pushed off into the next 8.6 years wave insofar as the USA is concerned. The current wave may see the crisis in Pension Funds hit and we may then see the confiscation of all 401Ks as well 2017. This will be seen as a measure to regain national security by buying back bonds held by foreign governments. That way, if the US wants to invade someone, it will no longer have to worry about how to fund the debt.

    California – Tax Man Cometh – As Always Their Mistake You Still Pay

    Posted on September 15, 2013 by Martin Armstrong

    California small business owners and investors are facing $120 million in back taxes after a 20-year-old tax exemption was struck down by an appeals court last year. That’s right. Government always wins. They make a mistake, and you still pay. We would be better off with the Mafia in charge – at least you can negotiate with reason.

    Since 1993, California provided that you paid only half of the capital-gains taxes due on sales of stock in businesses with less than $50 million in gross assets. The hitch was that the business must keep at least 80 percent of payroll costs and assets in the state. In August 2012 the tax exemption was ruled unconstitutional ob the basis it interfered with interstate commerce. That was about as rational as a metal patient on drugs. If the court ruled it denied equal protection in the sense of “justice for all” I would agree with the decision. But to claim it interfered with interstate commerce by trying to keep people in the state with incentives is nonsense. New Jersey has an EXIT tax. You leave, and they want more taxes. That will never be ruled unconstitutional because the Supreme Court has held taxing powers are unlimited in a fundamental sense – nobody in government ever met a tax they did not like to suppress others with.

    As always, in comes the bureaucrat looking to get even with those in the private sector for having talent they lack and money they get only by taking bribes. These are typically the people who were stuffed in gym-lockers in high school and it is pay-back time for them. They hate people who make money – look at one in the eyes. You see hatred paired with stupidity.

    Faster than a speeding bullet, the state’s Franchise Tax Board was signaling plans to collect retroactive taxes dating back to 2008 from more than 2,000 small businesses licking their chops for an expected take of $120 million. The small business owners screamed and turned to seek a legislative solution. In February state tax collectors offered to hold-off on issuing tax summons that would not down include interest and penalties provided they signed waivers extending the statute of limitations so they could go after them later. The state Senate passed a bill that reduced the total amount of retroactive tax due by only 76%. So you see, the bastards just cannot keep their hands out of other people’s pockets.

    The USA cannot grasp that this unilateral attack on Syria will set in motion the next stage of the Sovereign Debt Crisis that will ultimately lead to your pensions being confiscated when they cannot sell their debt to foreign governments.

    Something you should know.

    The G-20 summit has made a major decision that will enable the DEFLATIONARY destruction of the World Economy and life as we knew it. From here on out, the control of all data being collected internationally (including NSA) regarding the wealth of citizens worldwide, will be made available to every member state.Under the cover of terrorism, there is no profit in stopping terrorists. It is all about using them to further power. They are arming and funding terrorist organization in Syria. But if they turn those weapon against the USA, it will get more power.

    Ostensibly, this is all about tax evasion in their mind for if they had everything there would be no budget crisis. Indeed, it is important that the community of G20 nations will assume complete control of the financial circumstances of each individual citizen. The summit marks a milestone on the road to full expropriation of citizens. The end is here. This is going to be the worse economic decline in modern history. They are hunting money everywhere and cannot see that they are shrinking the world economy and that means higher unemployment.

    U.S. gold production down from January-May – USGS
    The U.S. Geological Survey reports that May 2013 was the eighth consecutive month for gold price declines.

    Author: Dorothy Kosich
    Posted: Friday , 30 Aug 2013
    RENO (MINEWEB) –

    U.S. gold production dropped 4% in the first five months of this year, the U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday in its Mineral Industry Surveys gold report.

    Total domestic gold production for the period from January through May 2013 was 89,200 kilograms (2,867,846 troy ounces). The state of Nevada led U.S. gold output with 64,900 kilograms (2,057,647 ozs) of production, followed by Alaska gold mining at 12,500 kilograms (401,884 ozs) and other states at 11,800 kilograms (379,378 ozs).

    However, May 2013 production of gold by U.S. mines dropped 5% to 18,000 kilograms (607,649 ozs) compared with May 2012 with 18,900 kilograms (607,649 ozs) of gold output, the USGS reported. Average daily gold production for U.S. mines was 582 kg (18,711ozs) in May 2013, down from 609 kg (19,079 ozs) in May 2012.

    In their analysis, the USGS noted that May was the eighth consecutive month that the average gold price decreased.

    Some domestic gold mining companies announced reductions in production in May including Atna Resources, which deferred ramp up of the Pinson underground mining operation near Winnemucca, Nevada. Allied Nevada announced that it was considering scaling back development plans at its Hycroft Mine also near Winnemucca.
