You got it.  Agreed, one of the best, most quotable movies of all time.  The part where Sonny Bono buys a time bomb in the duty-free shop before getting on the plane is probably even more hysterical today than it was then, if that's possible.

True, but no one raises a child to be murdered by a queer Jew.

There has been no honest discussion of motives here, or a deep seated death wish not unique to this evil creature.  Honesty first, then levity.  Like that will ever happen.

A serious look at the effects of "antidepressents" and those who push them is also in order.

I like the sentiment, but yeah whatever.  There's too many grifters and scammers on the money train to stop it.  The only way this ends is crashing.  That I believe is their goal anyway to grease the skids for the SDR.  The neo-feudal plan is well underway, why would they want to stop it now?

There will be no SDR, Russia and China finally realized that there is no bargaining with US Empire and a dollar crash will be their chance to bury it once and for all.

A few years ago before I went back to academia, I mentioned a phrase in protest at the office that made everyone in the room look at me as though I had grown a penis on my forehead. That phrase was, "Conflict of interest". Nowadays it's called front running, insider trading or simply SOP in almost every corporate setting. Greed changes nothing in finance despite the volumes of breast-beating rhetoric on rendering responsible and sober services over the years.

I dare say that far too many bankers in the upper echelons are compulsive liars, thieves and delusionists. Bringing back the regulations can only be half the story - Most of the finance types need to either go to therapy or prison for a few years to knock the criminality out of them and instil a sense of ethos. But then again, I guess we have all been defiled by greed, instant gratification, and the vacant ostentation that passes for culture these days.

YHC-FTSE; Yeah, this all got off track. Clearly there is conflict of interest in people.

YHC-FTSE

- Conflict of Interest
- Financial Conflict of Interest
- Accounting Control Fraud
- There is no US Reform System, Greedy Executives & Public Executives have no chance at Reform

Corporate Mission & Goals are the key to understanding what Private Executives Say. You can't take face value of anything put out from a corporation. You can't take face value of anything put out by a federal politicians. WTF. The goals of Private Organizations are fairly obvious. The profit motive is prime. Lobbying & Gifts & Campaign Contributions have a prime motive of influence for profit.

- When you correct Looter of the USA, there is no Reform, you take their money, seize their account, and Exile them with minimum resources. Word.

- When you Reform the US Government, Corporate, Auditing, Accounting, Financial, and Banking System... You Create "Sweeping Reforms"

Tom is it possible at $15 for scrap Silver you don't break even using chemical purification of the silver?

I wonder if you could obtain the components and avoid the cost of chemicals and set up costs, then wait to sell to someone in industry that requires the silver.

- Home Setup Costs, Bunsen burner, glass flasks, filtration paper, apparatus, chemicals, low recycling of chemicals
- costs in obtaining cell phones & circuit breakers

Devil is in the cost planning, eh?

But if you are already tooled up for PM Recovery, maybe it is only the cost of energy, chemicals, and filtration paper??

Wed, 04/08/2015 - 01:04 | 5969670 Tall Tom
Tall Tom's picture

Home Setup Costs for Silver...

 

One Gallon 70% Concentrate Nitric Acid...$30 (will process about 12 Ounces of Silver) Pazz Jewelry Supply in San Diego. You have to shop.

One Coffee Maker from a Thrift Store...$10

One Funnel from the Dollar Store...$1

Coffee Filter Paper...$1

 

Container for Filtered Solutions...$1 each. (I will suggest Two so $2)

 

One Magnet..Ideally Rare Earth Metal. A set of Rattlesnake Eggs can be bought at the Dollar Store for $1 in the toy section. Personally I use the magnets out of a Hard Drive which I scapped.

 

Scrap Copper...$1.60/lbs..From Homeless Dumpster Divers (one Pound will process 10 ounces.)

 

Circuit Breakers $0.10 each....From Homeless Dumpster Divers.

 

(Cell Phones (for Gold Recovery...another process...$0,50 each...from Homeless Dumpster Divers. I dropped my price. I may still be paying too much at that price.)

 

(Of course the Homeless Dumpster Divers will provide you with Computers, RAM, and Hard Drives. Pay accordingly and keep your prices low. They are looking for Beer Money. Sometimes they will actually deliver BROKEN Karat Gold and Sterling Silver Jewelry. Sometimes they will deliver watches that families trash when their elders die.  Pay accordingly to what the market will bear. They are not stupid so do not underestimate them. Respect goes a long way and is appreciated as much as cash as society gives them none.)

 

One 5lbs Sledge Hammer from Swap Meet...$5 

 

MAPP Gas Canister and Power Torch head...$40

 

Graphite Crucible with Ingot Molds...$30 on eBay

 

Boraxo Soap...$4 at WalMart.

 

Buy as many Circuit Breakers as you can.

 

Extract the Silver per instructions in the videoes. Pay attention to Drew Metalsmith's videos as they are amongst the best

 

Place the Siver Bearng material in the coffee decanter, cover with Nitric Acid sparingly and bring to a low heat...OUTSIDE...in your back yard.

 

Wait until all metal is dissolved. Add Acid, sparingly as necessary. patience is a virtue.

 

When all metal is dissolved then filter.

 

(Save 5% of the solution as it will be required for the electrolysis process which follows.)

 

Add the same weight in Copper plus about 10% more, as you started with in source material to the filtered liquid.

 

Removae any excess Copper which was not dissolved.

 

Filter and collect the Powder, That will assay at 99%

 

To get .999 Fine...

 

Set up and electrolysis cell. Charge the cell with Silver Nitrate Solution diluted with distilled water.

 

Run the cell between 3 and 3.5 Volts. .999 Silver Crystals will begin to grow on the anode. When the source Material is depleted filter and collect the Crystals.

 

Melt that powder into a button with a MAPP Gas Torch in a crucible. Use Borax to glaze the crucible and draw off any other impurites.

 

It is not that expensive...It is work.

 

But you do not need the fancy Lab Equipment when you start. Even if you decide to get that I paid $3.50 apiece for my 100ml Beakers. My 50 ml Beakers cost $2.75 each. Brand New.

 

(Here is a secret about Glass Jars. They are Heat Resistant as they have to be when canning Pickles or sauces or Baby Food. They are not like Corning Ware but they will take heat. Even the Pyrex Bakers will explode under uneven heating. Use Corningware over that of Pyrex casserole dishes.)

 

You can set up for about $150. Thrift Stores are a bonanza.

 

The first 10 ounces pays for it. After that the only recurring costs are Source Material, Copper, Mapp Gas at $10/canister and Nitric Acid plus your crucible and mold will not last forever.

 

You will be getting Silver at way back of melt.

 

And yes I do have people in the industry who are willing buyers.

 

Trust is the issue. If you sell them pure Silver they will melt and assay the first batch. Once you have esyablished trust then you have no problem.

 

It is a good ol' boy network after all and your rep means everything.

Thanks Tom. It is a lot to work out, and would have to do a few market surveys to see if scrap components are available locally like circuit breakers & cell phones. I've seen a kind of rag picker drive around on Sunday's with a truck going through curbside waste. Fucker even got something from me. But I haven't' seen him in a year he was losing his hair and growing breast to my eye.

But we have some redneck boys with auto salvage lots. I wonder if they are doing PM Recovery. Computers have to be going somewhere. I've never even seen the county dump, but we must have one somewhere too. Might be a problem for homeless to find me or work at the dump. But people keep stuff in their cars so maybe if I network with people at the dump or outreach a work force could be created.

Doesn't sound like me. But not everyone has to come into the industry from the same starting point.

Pyrex is Coffee makers I guess. Probably I should watch a bunch of videos...

As usual, the inital narrative is usually changed as FACTS or a new narrative come in.

-------------------

According to Sean Kelly, a spokesman for Potomac Electric Power Co., just before 1 p.m., there was a momentary dip in voltage caused by a downed transmission line at a substation in southern Maryland, which is connected to a power plant there. ---LA Times

Bad infrastructure, probably cost us another 100 Billion or so just to fix our 'Nations Capital' ... There's opportunity in every crisis

I'd check out Russian shipyard welders.

Maybe they started here first. The famous cyber hacker group Anonymous has vowed an 'Electronic Holocaust' against Israel in response to what the group calls 'crimes in the Palestinian territories'. In a spooky video "message to Israel" posted on YouTube March 4, Anonymous declared yet another cyber attack on April 7, which is one week before Holocaust Remembrance day.

"one week before Holocaust Remembrance day" ???

Seems to me that every f*cking day is Holocau$t® Remembrance Day.

I think it's a little too early to use a cartoon like that right after the crash of the A320.

Nobody says "too soon" who actually has a sense of humour.

(Hint: it's funny because it's true.)

It does come a lot closer to the truth than the artist realized. Once the banksters figure it's time to check out, see if they don't take us screaming with them.

The real target of all those nuke-tipped ICBMs? The major cities of red-state America, just in case they try to secede. The Union army perfected the art of total war against civilians in Dixie. And Yankee bankers would burn the South to the ground again in a heartbeat, now at the touch of a button. If the southern cracker won't be reconstructed, he'll be roasted alive.

Is this the same incorporated U.S. Government that unknowingly enslaved almost its entire population through the deception of uninformed consent using the FED, corrupt officials and lawyers?

Do fictional events portrayed as cartoons, under the guise of Charlie Hebdoesque style satire, make the cartoonist a psychic, a messenger or a terrorist when they accurately predict future events?

That should actually be the other way around. It is your fucking govt that is that nasty copilot.

But WHO is running the government? Apparently, it's been taken over by Wall Street. The banksters pay the Congress well, because it takes money to get re-elected. By itself, a gigantic racket exists, not much different than the Tax Racket and other garbage systems often run by unelected bureaucrats. That's exactly why I defend the cartoonist this time. They actually "get it" IMAO.

This cartoon is not representative of the German airline tragedy because in this tragedy both the pilot and copilot are out to crash the plane.
