I thought Live Aid was supposed to have music?
No stranger to rioting itself, it looks like Iceland might not escape the bankers after all. By the way, is that a yarmulke on the president of Iceland?

The solution is so simple it should click in your head like a snap of your fingers. The only way to bring down the system is to take back our monie from the banksters. The way to do that is to buy precious metal bullion....no paper. Gold/silver/platinum. The reason that I say to buy silver, is because it is dirt cheap. If you can afford the other two, by all means, diversify your bonds. Once again, it is our only hope. We take back PMs, they can not short it to fund their ponzi AND they can not start the ponzi in the first place, because the whole fiat system revolves around gold. Yes Virginia, we are still on a gold standard, if but a fucked up one. Take your culture and society away from the oilgarchs!!! Take your system back! We are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of god, just not the banksters.
BUY SILVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Word JimiJohn.
I just bought a few dozen silver, Tuesday, at the Northwest Territorial Mint near Seattle. They make lots of private label .999 silver rounds. This means they melt silver, refine it and turn it into bullion.
My sales rep said they're having a hard time getting silver and she apologized for the limited varieties available.
If the mints can't get silver, even when they're melting down and refining granny's old Sterling, that's a warning to the rest of us.
Get the real thing while you can. It's going into hiding, even with the price dip. Then you can feed the family if you don't have a wheelbarrow full of cash or debit cards.
Granny junked you because she is wishing she had not sold her silver spoons.
;)
She stopped moving and smelled funny. We thought she was dead.
... so the food suppliers (Monsanto) will end up with all the silver?
Bingo! And I fear that those prepared to feed themselves will be rounded up and summarily shot.
They have gotten this far. Collapse only gives those who control the food that much more power. They sure as Hell aren't going to let a few hippie/gun nuts stand in the way of a perfect game.
And when the next group of bansters start to opine about the benefits of fractional reserve banking we reserve as many lamp posts as is needed to tell them we don't want it anymore.

V for silVer.
It's true. It really is this simple. The key is to reach a tipping point of getting the general population on board. Decades of brainwashing to overcome.
This is what makes Merehuman my hero. He gave silver to people he did not know, how awesome is that! Hundreds of ounces. Brilliant. Put monie in the hands of the people, and let them decide. Afterall, it is not much of one, for silver lasts the fire, and paper burns to ashe.
I actually tipped a tow truck driver a couple of silver dollars. When I started to explain to him that he should keep it and not spend it as it was silver he looked at me and said "Oh I know." Seems he had his own collection. People will wake up, at least the ones that you would want to associate with anyways. No sense in trying to get most sheep on your side anyways.

forget that - what about the carling cup final?
Haha. I recently handled the actual cup (really). It felt quite heavy. I wonder if it is solid Ag?
The new bill must be approved by parliament and then come before Grimsson.
Socialism colapses in Egypt.
Egyptians demand Freedom and Democracy.
Throw away all the Socialists
I wish. In reality they probably want more socialism.
Allow me to correct that massive misnomer for you:
"Despotism collapses in Egypt.
Egyptians demand Freedom and Democracy.
Throw away all the Despots."
I think you may need to update the lexicon you're using.
No, socialists work fine..
It looks like the folks in Gabon had their
resistance put down yesterday. President
Bongo must be feeling somewhat relieved
that all the attention is on Egypt today.
A funny coincidence is that the opposing tribe

I don't think so. Those wheels on that cart wouldn't hold up the containers of that size if they were filled with Gold.
Those boxes are light. Look at the tires.
Junked? Why? Seems like a perfectly valid comment to me....
And if you think many cities the US will not look like Egypt right now before the end of the year you are sorely mistaken.

RISE UP EGYPT!!!
Kissinger, aka Henry the K., once said that the solution for Israel is to create many Egypts around itself. By that, Henry the K. meant of course puting CIA assets like Saddat in charge of Israel's neighbours to create peace, that is, Greater Israel.
How ironic would that be if the corrupt CIA assets are chased away and a new nationalist government takes over?
That would be the solution for Israel alright, like in a final solution.
Yep! The proverbial S is about the hit the F for Israel. Jig is up.
was thinking about that Kissinger line too
I for one, am down with these Muzzie democracy movements becausethis means that once this stuff is over, all of the muzzies in Europe and Britain, and America will be going back home to the countries of their birth. I love it when a plan comes together.

Once this is over, they will go back
won't they??????

You got that right. They've been avoiding the subject very notably until just now.

Spewing garbage and hate like it's your job today Sandi.
Umm, is it?
Seems only one microcephalic is taking umbrage at my "hate" today. Maybe you're standing a little too close to your mirror.
So you're happy at the prospect that the Egyptian people could finally be rid of this Western/Zio puppet and ultra-violent tyrant?
I'd say you're going to be flying solo if not. If you are, you have a funny way of showing it. Not ha-ha funny mind you.
Out with the old and in with the new.
Napoleon arrived in Egypt two centuries earlier then he was needed.
These sort of revolutions always seem to replace the old guard with a new an improved level of ultra-violent tyrant. Good luck Egyt.
What's with ABR and Dr. Sandi?
Yes to arrest Bob Rubin and yes to being happy at the prospect that the Egyptian people could finally be rid of this Western/Zio puppet and ultra-violent tyrant?
Where's the beef?
Hillary sent them their talking points. She's in freak out mode. Oh fuck, the protestors might win, we better blame the extremists.

ALLAHU AKBAR!
I am surprised oil is not ralllying here. I can see plausible scenarios here with possible supply disruptions.
Scenario 1) Current Egyptian regime gets toppled. The new folks who come to power even if led by the UN groupie (el baderi..sp?) are much more sympathetic to the brotherhood or are part of the brotherhood. Israel freaks out. Republitards in Congress cut off aid to Egypt (they are the #2 recipent behind israel). Egypt slides into an alliance with Syria and Iran. Suddenly, the geo political balance in the middle east is changed and the major gulf producers are themselves threatened.
Scenario 2) more direct and less likely. Violence somehow impacts the little canal that runs through egypt. 4-6% of the global supply is disrupted. With inventories so tight that will send prices spiking.
I am almost inclined to buy a little DIG today.
+3.2%...
Oil is up over 3% today. Pretty good rally if you ask me.
CNN reports Mabarak is under house arrest.
CNN reports Mabaraka is under house arrest.
I hope the Egyptians get a break from tyrannical rule, Mubarak ain't going quietly, expect more brutality before this is all over.

Only the Egyptian stock market has internet access.
The police are turning off Al Jazeera broadcasting in Cairo or are in process of doing so. They have moved their cameras inside the building after the police came to shut them down.
Overseas shipping group is spiking, if the Suez
canal is shut down, large tanker will control crude flows, OSG has 85% of crude flow into china, you do the math.
China could benefit from a shut-down of the Suez canal, in that their would be a glut of oil on their side of the canal. Europe would experience the worst effects I think.
Egyptian army soldiers are hitting the streets since police have been unable to enforce the curfew. They are dumping a troop carrier into the Nile.
Yup! The fleeing financial terroist dictator puppets flee with 1/4 countries gold reserves as in Tunsunia and over 50 flights leaving egypt searched and seized gold bullion!! Syria shutting off the world as the dominoes fall! I suppose when the U.S. collapses economically the gov goons will flee to destinations unknown with burning benron burnokio bucks!! My bet as we see others fleeing riot act burn downs; countries gold reserves have been already good as raided!! Yup! Gold/silver barberic but when the crunch crisis rioting in the streets surfaces; everyone wants to put their hands and some and exit the crisis country!! Certain peace to break out all over the world with globalist rat basturd bankster fraudsters running the wide chaos!
I wish this would happen in the states.
"Tanks rolling into the center of the city. Two police stations have been burned down."
This is the real thing. Real thing in America? What if the dollar...oh never mind.
Yeah, let's destroy some more of our dwindling capital making bonfires of the cities.
For some cities, that is probably the best use of what capital they have left.
Did someone say Detroit?
Okay, with Detroit, it's a case of "too little, too late."
They should have continued the citizen-led "urban renewal" that was started in the mid 60s. By now, the place would be sprouting some nice middle-aged oak forests, and producing hardwoods perfect for the Chinese furniture industry.
The American Chestnut Tree was infinitely superior to the Chinese Chestnut Tree, yet, the Chinese Chestnut Tree fungus decimated the American Chestnut Tree.
So the lesson here is that we make a better tree and the Chinese make a better fungus?
Is the Chinese fungus any good in a marinara sauce?
Anyway, it's probably just a defective knock-off of one of our homegrown fungi.
Play by play.....
"For anyone not watching this the protestors have set fire to a police truck and are attempting to push it into the Nile." "That guard rail is very strong. I do not think they will get it over."
A reporter on the ground said, "The curfew is about to fall and some people are rushing home to make it. Others are marching in protest and they are chanting "Illigitamate! Illigitamate!"...."

Protestors have set a military vehicle on fire on a bridge and are trying to push it into the Nile.
It is so sad. I can only get some serious news from Algazeera and RT, possibly BBC. Everything else on mainstream media are just entertainment news.
Maybe they will bring a report in a week or so. XD But German Media is the same.
