And Defense Secretary Gates Just Uttered The Magic Word...
US Defense Secretary Gates says establishing no-fly zone for Libya would require an attack on Libya
As a result, the entire crude complex levitated higher as if HFTed by the Fed's POMO desk.

My PMs also wish to thank Defense Secretary Gates.
Thank you!
Magic words and phrases? !! Oh, this will be fun!
Before I actually read what the magic word/phrase actually is, allow me to guess.
Since this is primarily a libertarian forum for racist redneck goofballs, the options are endless:
Slavery
Coins
You done fired me up!
I want my country back!
Canned Hams
Creationism
Removable front porch
Camaro
Ammunition
Underground bunker
Gunsmoke
Smoke 'em out
Little House on the Prarie
Musket
Mullet
Nobama
Cabelas
Field and Stream Magazine
Get 'er done!
Gubmint
Palin
Eatin' high on the hog
Fix'n to put on britches
What in tarnation?
Silver to $50
........Should I go on, or did I guess it right?
You missed completely. And may I remind you that the side of the barn is over there. ---->
Over yonder?
By uncle Chet's trailer?
I done gone there, and there ain't nutin' there but dem cows.
You sir are human paraquat.
Leave the cow's political leanings out of it.
-7 junks.
LOL, you and redneck are probably giving one another the over-the-cubicle high five in your NSA dungeon. Has anyone else noticed the troll invasion of ZH over the past 4-6 weeks? They're multiplying like rabbits...
Not hard to miss the side of the barn, when you are pointed in the wrong direction.
Need I remind you that you are the only one here who is a racist?
I recall you blithering on about how the brains of blacks and mulattoes are smaller than those of whites recently.
Get the fuck out of here.
huh? Average brain size of blacks IS smaller.
This is what we call a "hate fact."
Oh and while I'm up, STFU you uncle tom racebaiting fuckstick
Oh wow, he wasn't making shit up about you.
Here I was, defending your honor, and calling HIM the racist for summoning crazy racist thought out of his mind.
Fuck.
But hey, you and I fight enough that I can distance myself from you. So yeah, go fuck yourself.
quod erat demonstrandum....maybe this Red Neck guy is right - lots of bullshit racism around here.
@Trav7777
The kaleidoscope of racism and bigotry through which you perceive your version of reality is a major impediment to your understanding of the world around you. You remind me of pompous 19th century European anthropologists and anatomists who manipulated data to make their culture and race look smarter than the rest of the world. Or if you're referring to the "research" by the The National Collaborative Perinatal Study from decades ago which attempted to correlate the radius of the cranium and intelligence, then you're relying on archaic science that has been thoroughly discredited.
All the of the studies which attempted to correlate the size/weight of the brain and/or the radius of the cranium to intelligence were donebefore the major advancements in neurosurgery that we have today. These highly complex and sophisticated procedures that we do today blow apart most of the pseudo-neuropsysiology of the past that was clearly and overly obsessed with differentiating races and cultures to no avail.
It would be a massive surprise to those pseudo-researchers to see the results of modern day neurosurgery. There are a myriad of neurosurgical procedures that sever one part of the brain from another, like a bilateral cingulotomy or a corpus callosotomy where the entire left and right hemispheres are severed - and there is no significant loss of memory or cognitive abilities in many patients. Multiple subpial transections are common too with, again, no affect on intelligence or memory.
Even more extreme, properly trained neurosurgeons can successfully remove an entire hemisphere (functional hemispherectomy) of the brain with (often times) little affect on motor skills, intelligence or memory. It seems that size and weight of brain mass means nothing, and the radius of the cranium means even less.
If regions of the brain can be totally severed from other regions, and if half a brain can be removed with no affect on intelligence whatsoever, do you really want to suggest that two standard deviations in cranial radius is significant? You are relying on anatomical research that used rulers and scales. I'm relying on modern neurosurgical procedures that discredit your entire racist world view.
Perhaps you should take a protractor to your own skull.
LMAO. Hey, I think you have about 2 posts left before TD kicks you outta here.
Derp.
you forgot this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0KVqYit1o4
I junked you. Surely you have something better to do.
Not sure I follow you old bean.
Do you mean the a no-fly zone is not likely or that an attack of some kind, in order to establish a no-fly zone is not likely.
Or are you cerebrally challenged?
So, do you lob these ill-conceived and insulting labels. Is it meant to make you feel better about who you are, or to make us feel worse about ourselves?
What purpose do you serve? Why do you put this energy out into the universe?

Have you guys forgotten that we bombed Lybia in 1986 and the stock market went up 20% that year?
Where is Lybia?
Near your Labia.
Like other trolls, you seem to have trouble understanding that not everyone is like yourself.
On a lighter note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCatFyP9tKo&feature=related
Typo; he meant "Labia."
War = Market Viagra. How lovely.
Watch out baby, math man is gonna bomb your labia!
:)

Protect the industrial complex - turmOIL protection in full effect bitchez!
Uh oh... IRAN is heating up their big guns.
Serious shit about to break out. Hope you took your physical...
Silver is pushing at $35.
All the idiots who poo-pooed silver as being an investment for crazy people continue to weep and gnash their teeth. Serves them right.
Math Man's troll senses have just gone off, he will be here to battle you shortly.
Buried in the Troll graveyard.
Pavlov's dog has begun to drool. Get the troll mop ready. It's gonna be a messy day in aisle 3.

No, he's just trying to find Lybia on a map...
Libya? Labia?
I liked Carthage better.
No, Meth Whore is pimpin his skanky sorry ass in some street corner.
Or to quote a line from Cheeky a long time ago, "He's busy giving blowjobs at a Turkish bath house trying to come up with enough money to cover his shorts."
Thanks for the memory. That was most certainly a Cheeky classic.
Alas, poor Cheeky
He is a person I sorely miss around here.
Lybia? Lydia? Wasnt that a Marx brothers song?
Although I do find justice in it, for my sake, I desperately wish that meth/math man was right and that silver was in for a major plunge. Then I could accumulate more ounces for myself with the same amount of fiat. Silver at $ 35 and Gold at $ 1500 don't exactly help the young stacker "stack". In retrospect, however, I am sure we will all look back wishing we would have pulled the trigger at 35,50,70, etc.
I agree, another 2008 style plunge would make me very happy, as I bring in enough money to cover all of my expenses, and can just hold on to my silver.
It won't happen, though. If it did, silver would disappear to an even greater extent than it did in 2008. You would have industrial users standing for delivery on the COMEX in a desperate attempt to stay in business.
As I have said before, plunging silver prices are good for those who hold physical silver, because it will bring the Ponzi to an end much more quickly. Prices rising like they are is actually more like a worst case scenario, as increased prices bring supply onto the market, allowing JPM and Co to cover their shorts. In the long run, the price will be the same either way. I would prefer a default because it will boost the price much more quickly and allow me to move into productive assets and start producing sooner.
how on earth could RISING SILVER PRICES allow JPM to cover their shorts? doesn't this fly in the face of what max keiser is doing with his buy silver campaign?
They have access to the Fed's printing presses, so they can get any amount of dollars that they need, whether in the form of a bailout, or an under the table "loan" to buy any available silver off the market to service those standing for delivery.
On the contrary, if the price crashes, all supply disappears, just like back in 2008, and they won't be able to source silver to service anyone standing for delivery.
Fraud is fraud is fraud. There is no way to escape higher prices for physical silver, as much as the trolls want you to believe.
Edit: and Keiser's buy silver campaign contributes to JPMs problems by removing physical silver from the market more quickly, meaning they must allow the price to rise even higher in order to keep from defaulting.
"They have access to the Fed's printing presses, so they can get any amount of dollars that they need, whether in the form of a bailout, or an under the table "loan" to buy any available silver off the market to service those standing for delivery."
Seriously? You've totally lost it.
THEY DON'T HAVE A NAKED SHORT.
THEY CLOSED THEIR COMMODITIES PROP BUSINESS MONTHS AGO.
The fact that you can't tell the difference between their (now closed) prop trading desk and their (very much open) commodities trading desk speaks volumes to your ignorance.
Dip sh*t - Prop desks make bets with the houses money, flow desks take orders on behalf of clients.
When you close the prop desk, the flow desk is still around - but they only trade on the behalf of clients. Which means they don't make naked shorts....
Yes, I know what a prop desk is. The fact that you don't know the difference between the prop desk, which closed, and the commodities trading desk, which is still open, and headed by Blythe Masters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythe_Masters).
You are confusing your terms to such an extent that you simply don't know what you are talking about, which is why you are only making 1-2% per year in an environment where a dart throwing monkey should have made at least 5-10%. Stow the gab, loser boy. No-one is buying your crazy here.
Prop desks take risk, flow desks don't.
Blythe's remaining commodities desk doesn't take risk because it is a flow desk.
It facilitates orders for clients.
So, unfortunately, they don't have a massive silver short, unless it is for a client because they don't take any principal risk.
Sorry dude. You're just wrong.
Keep believing your conspiracy theories.
So, how long have you been working under Blythe? You type with such authority and all...
bLAH bLAH, "Silver top", BLAH BLAH< Ferrari, Blah, Power Companies, BLAH BLAH, Labia, Blah blah, puts. $5 Blah, uh, well, uh, dig, coal. Blah!
Silver supply has become inelastic faced with overwhelming global demand. Price no longer matters, and the paper price (SLV) never mattered.
stocks hardly even blinked
Stocks are dead, and an actual BIG loss today considering the beating the dollar is getting.
ding ding ding. We have a winner!
I couldn't get this concept through my sister-in-law's head last night. "I hear what you're saying...but my 401k is up this year," she kept repeating. [sigh]
All these people know is "look my stocks are up...."
If they spent as much time doing due diligence as they do watching Jersey Whore et al, perhaps, they'd understand that for every tick higher in the "stock markets," their living standard just declined by an equal or greater amount!
Breaking news that Dr. Deficit needs to read:
Germany's Merkel says cannot artificially reduce interest rates, they are expression of trust in a country
REALLY?!?!
Somebody ought to carve a swastika on her forehead.
Out of curiosity why is that?
He saw it in a Brad Pitt movie and thought it was cool. Then he saw the Brad Pitt jpeg here....
I was going to do it to, but he's faster on the uptake. Mad typing skillz and all.
The European Central Bank, the FED, the BIS and the IMF do not agree with her. Only German and French workers agree with her - and what do they know? After all they still want to remain German and French citizens, not Europeans.
yeah I just met w/ an HR person who talked about how people are MUCH happier with this year's 401k plan administrator...I just bit my tongue and did not ask the obvious, "why, because their balances went up?"
Just like in Special Relativity, frames of reference are a hard concept for the Ignorati to grasp. :>D
Cut your nose to spite your face... let's hope the noseless variety will learn something about face change.
The FED want oil prices to go up. It will slow the economic recovery, and enable them to funnel more liquidity to wall street. The dollar? revaluation vs all assets.
Slow the non-existant recovery? Ok go ahead. Hard to keep up with the costume changes in this Kabuki theater.
Russia , China , Brazil , U.K. , Japan .... Just gave the " green light ". Lol'
Everyone wants " the status quo - "
POP goes the weasel
101.30 and climbing
"POP goes the weasel"
But does the weasel go POP?
Brent baby BRENT.
WTI isn't as accurate.
It's perfectly accurate, it just isn't relevant.
We're going to war...wait, we're already at war...is Congress going to vote on this? Stupid question.
LOL
There are no stupid questions when it comes to Congress, just stupid Congress persons.
There are no stupid Congresses when it comes to Congress, just stupid voters.
LOL - but so very true.
ain't it amazing that Congress's aggregate approval rating is below 20%, yet the SAME motherfuckers get sent back over and over and over again?
These career incumbents like Barney fag and pelosi...wtf, you'd have me believe that EVERY incumbent has 60% approval in their home district?
If you didn't vote you cannot complain. That's because your votes really do matter. So keep doing your civic duties like voting and paying taxes.
lulz
That slope just keeps getting slipprier, doesn't it?
First the US needed a declaration. Not anymore.
Then the US invaded countries who posed a "threat" to the continent. The US never found any WMDs, but decided to stick around to build.......something. Oh and to make sure the poppies would flow.
Now the US only needs a civil disturbance to let slip the weapons of war.
Progress!
Brent at 117 and rising. $4.00 a gallon here we come.
Bomb their ass and steal their gas bitchez!
But, but, but, but... I thought this was Change We Could Believe In.....
When they start messing with our oil it's on bitchez!
Its not even 'our' oil, it mostly goes to Europe, then again US=Britain so release the dogs of war!
< ; D
Oil market's international, dollar denominated, doesn't matter where it is geographically...
King Dollar!
"Our" oil regardless of where it's actually located. Divine right and all that.
The constitutional right to drive in circles.
Manifest destiny: The anti-climax.
Any words on US soldiers killed in Frankfurt??
2 dead. A 21 y/o Kosovo man has supposedly been arrested and a terrorist link is being investigated
Ok, just found this.
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2011/03/201132154234681931.html
Possible terrorist link you say? I would never have guessed.
If I delayed the airport security line by 30 seconds because I couldn't get my shoes off quick enough I would be labeled a terrorist.
The word is becoming a farce. Good. Maybe the average Joe will begin to question.....er......never mind.
no shit, this term has been bastardized to the 'nth degree. how is it "terrorism" if the attack is against the military/government? isn't terrorism an attack against civilians with the intent to scare the people into submission?
2 dead. A 21 y/o Kosovo man has supposedly been arrested and a terrorist link is being created
Fixed.
did he "train" in Libya by any chance??
He may have tried to buy yellow cake uranium there.
As positive customer reviews show, it's easier to buy at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Inc-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM/ref=sr_1_3...
Brega has been attacked, but no mention yet on fate of oil/gas terminal (key).
Fatal attack on US military in Frankfurt Airport Germany adding to global tensions
No fly zone over Libya being mentioned all morning long
Clearly the US must attack Germany.
Yep. You still have thousands of troops in our country and about 20 nukes. Most Germans I know are quite happy about the current status quo. Especially mayors of the small towns next to the military bases. It's not called K-Town for nothing.
War creates jobs! Someone has to make those body bags.
over 77k killed in our two wars as it is
the unreported casualty numbers are higher than vietnam already
tuff to find, but there in VA statistics
Yeah, but thats alright. The S.C. says we have the right to harass the families of those that died. Its all good.
I guess we should see millions of 'NO BLOOD FOR OIL' Obama minions rioting all over the country today over a clear war for nothing but oil. Or not....since they havent been directed to be angry, make signs, and riot.
Didn't you get the memo.. Democrats are okay with war for oil now that Obama is in office..
They're waiting for the USS Enterprise to steam over from the Suez Canal
USS Ponce amphibious assault ship has joined up with USS Kearsarge
Discussions taking place with US allies in the region and NATO
Sounds FUN... Our "boys of war" haven't had any good opportunities for an assault from water...
Seems like this will be a good "exercise" for them...
Sounds fun, till it goes wrong. Remember Russia has been shipping Libya weapons for the last 2 months like crazy, this kind of haphazard warmongering with the assumption that 'all goes well all the time, we're US military' may just backfire miserably. Remember the Romans.
Can you imagine a scenario where hundreds of US troops are suddenly being held hostage?
please dont give the military that idea... what a great way to expand our presence in the region. All it will take is a few soldier deaths in Libya for some real fireworks...
They're dusting off Operation Torch manuals at the Pentagon right now :-)
that would be a big miss ;-)
Go ahead Gates, start another war over oil. And after you kill hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children just like you have done in Iraq and Afghanistan the entire Muslem world will finally realize that the world police are only in it for the oil. Listening to Hillary Clinton say she will not stand for the Gaddafi regime to kill innocent people is mind boggling after looking at the 100's of thousands of innocent people we have killed in Iraq to control the so called weapons of mass destruction that never existed. It's time to look in the mirror and call a spade a spade and admit that the Global police are the real cause of World's demise.
A CLEAR war for oil...now wheres all the media up in arms criticizing it as such, as theyve done in prior years? Also do you notice the total silence from the media over gas prices shooting up? In past years, they'd have reporters at the pump interviewing pissed off people and demanding answers from congress, the white house.
The Iraq War was supposedly a war for oil. I am not sure what it accomplished other than the US establishing military bases there... with no apparent intent of removing them all... whilst the military-industrial complex feeds at the trough.
Roman empire, spread WAY too thin, was its demise.

And,....Vietnam, USA's own holocaust.
Anybody know whats going on with rice - I assume its up again. Wonder when the chinese get their turn.
Don't know about rice in particular, but Ags crashed hard a few days ago...have no idea why. Some EM sovereign intervention is quite possible, as the western PTB seem to very much want more food inflation. I would have bought the dip but I was already swimming.
Same with PM's a few weeks ago when everyone declared their demise. ICE put margin increases in. But Im sure we'll see the prices pop again soon.
Spec $$ are limited and went into oil an PMs. The fed will have to print some more...
There's actually some good news about rice. Now that oil has topped $100 bb it is more expensive to make the rice tainted with plastic then to sell the real thing. So all those plastic eating rice people might actually have a chance of survival now that the petro will get flushed from their systems before the cancer sets in.
unlike most other agcommodities rice has been quiet
I thought I read somewhere that it was being supported by an Eastern government. Vietnam?
gaddafi threatned the "fortune 500".....thats a no no

silver just hit 35.00
When artificially inflated home values run out of steam as an economic stimulus...
When massive budget deficits run out of steam as an economic stimulus...
When creating fiat currency at a frantic pace runs out of steam as an economic stimulus...
The next logical step is to wage another war.
Is there ONE PERSON in Washington DC with a scoop or morals and integrity? I think Ron Paul and son might be, but they are still Republicans.
Silver just hit $35. with gold hitting over 1440 same time.
My prediction to $40 in ~3 weeks is coming to fruition... along with WWIII.
the world supply of oil has to be protected .Whatever needs to be done will be done .
Oh stop it! We're bringin' them "democracy" and "freedom..."
do they want fries with that?
We're bringing them McD's and Starbucks. That alone is worth a few million human lives...
We live in a sick sick world that is now officially on life support.
+AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!! and SUPER size it..
OPEC has been using too much of our oil bitchez!
(Reuters) – Unrest sweeping the Middle East could squeeze OPEC’s precious spare oil capacity for the long term as well as the near term as fearful governments delay reforms needed to tame galloping domestic fuel use...
It is called the "Export Land Model".... and it is a bitch.

http://www.aspousa.org/index.php/2011/02/egypt-a-classic-case-of-rapid-net-export-decline-and-a-look-at-global-net-exports/
export land model with a cruise missile up its ass. Fork it over bitchez!
you even bring up XLM and you can forget about getting any polyanna to accept even PO...it's just too fuckin scary.
I don't even broach this subject much in the discussions because you don't catch birds with sudden movements. XLM is hades on the horse following PO.
There are several nations who hit peak in the past decade or so, all hit net importer around the 7 year interval.
If you're looking for bugout, you have to find a net exporter, because the fight is over exports. We are looking at scrapping against nuclear powers now for the dwindling globally available oil. Or, facing having to literally deprive people in producer states of product.
Given what's going on, it's time to go Medieval....
Hey, if we can save some of the more intelligent ones, all the better.
Sorry to say, Mr Gates, but Dr. Deficit has got you out numbered.
WTI at $101.70 and rising sharply. Bring the troops home to bring order to the US... tic tic tic
Just_lite do you notice as I do the total silence from the media about gas prices? Where are they with a reporter stationed out front of the sign that reads $3.60 avg and doing interviews with pissed off pumpers and demanding answers from congress, as in years past? Its all surreal.
Apparently pain at the pump is like sex: it only hurts the first time.
Only hurts, if you're female and a virgin. We're all men with 20" dicks now.
They know what level is good...
Ha! Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:
"Hey, I figured out how to get a 12" cock"
- How?
"Fold it in half"
c'mon SD-1, you know THAT answer! ;-)
Yep! Just sayin.
This is just a way to get people and countries to start buying our Treasuries again...the "flight to safety"....its a monetary policy to start a war....its good for treasuries....
LOL! Good one.
Everyone pay strong attention to Russia. They came out yesterday stating "They are opposed to military intervention in the sovereign state"
I still believe Russia is seeing a frail U.S. economy and finally the President they have dreamed of having in place that they thought they saw in Kennedy which is one which can be pushed around. There is no political will for any more wars especially when most Americans want these two ended. Putin will be re-elected and he has full intentions of returning Russia to a dominant superpower.
