"Could it be that gold is the only ‘real money’ in a world comprised of paper money backed up only by faith and confidence, or lack thereof?
Are ‘paper money bugs’ losing their confidence and swagger?
Are governments positioning themselves for a period when paper money loses its value faster than they can create additional digital versions of it?"

When it comes to the U.S. border, don’t put trade ahead of privacy
"It has been suggested that the new deal will not compromise privacy any further than is already the case under existing bilateral agreements. This is hardly reassuring. Already, under current regulations, innocent people have been mistakenly added to terror watch lists due to confusion over a shared name or similar address. Some of these people, including Canadian citizens, have found themselves unable to leave the country due to this misidentification, and have suffered personally and professionally as a result. In some cases, they have been able to leave the country, but then not return, leaving them stranded in foreign lands. Some have been detained without charge.
We must do better. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) has concurred with the findings of the Federal Commission of Inquiry into the case of Maher Arar: We believe that intelligence agencies and law enforcement must take every listed legal safeguard to ensure they do not wrongly flag an innocent person, and that they do not share, receive, or otherwise use or condone information that has been procured from torture or serious human rights abuses.

CANADA: The New Canada: Fomenting Fear at Home and Abroad
"During the 2011 election campaign, the Conservatives promised to make Canada a place where “law abiding” folks “don’t have to worry when they go to bed at night; where they don’t have to look over their shoulders as they walk down the street.” However, the tough-on-crime agenda ran into an awkward fact: Canada’s crime rate had been falling for years. According to Statistics Canada, police-reported crime continued declining in 2010 (the most recent year for which statistics are available), and reached its lowest level since 1973.
Faced with this inconvenient truth, last week, Minister Toews advised the Senate committee that he didn’t know if crime was up or down. “Let’s not talk about statistics, let’s talk about danger,” he said. It was a remarkable pronouncement."

CANADA: Grocery chain Loblaws - 'farmers’ markets pose health risk'
"An off-the-cuff remark by Galen Weston at the Canadian Food Summit has enraged the farmers’ markets community and local food lovers.
“Farmers’ markets are great. . . ,” Weston said Tuesday during a speech to about 600 people at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, but added: “One day they’re going to kill some people though.”
Arlene Stein is director of community programs for Evergreen Brick Works, which runs a year-round Saturday farmers’ market with about 80 vendors. She was sick and couldn’t attend the food summit, but noted that supermarkets like Loblaws are promoting their organic and “fresh local” lines.
Her theory on Weston’s comment? “Farmers’ markets are the competition.”"

Soros Mouthpiece Calls On Google To Police “Conspiracy Theories”
"Former fellow of George Soros’ Open Society and current Stanford University scholar Evgeny Morozov has called on Google and other search engines to become thought crime enforcers, by providing warnings about websites that contain “conspiracy theories” such as the belief, held by a majority of Americans, that global warming is not primarily man-made.
Morozov’s argument is also completely undermined by the fact that the two so-called fringe “conspiracy theories” he forwards as being in need of Google’s thought crime control, skepticism about global warming and the dangers of vaccines, are views held by millions of Americans and are not “fringe” at all.
According to the most recent polls, less than half of Americans now believe that global warming is caused by human activity, a number that has been slipping for the past several years."

That classic 1949 song ends with the line: "God reunites those who love."

Ben Bernanke Makes Insane Comments On Gold
STORY FIRST CAME OUT ON JULY 13, 2011
"Ben Bernanke who today was testifying in front of a Congressional Committee made the assertion that gold is not money during an exchange with Congressman Ron Paul.
He even went as far to say that central banks only hold gold because of tradition. Of course, both of these statements are completely absurd because gold has been recognized as a form of money for thousands of years and is still today recognized as a storer of value.
The reason why the gold price keeps going up is because people recognize it as something that will maintain value in the face of economic uncertainty.
Central banks hold gold because it represents real wealth where as monetary units like Euros, Dollars, Yen and other currency systems are nothing more than an illusionary concept that is only based on the premise of people's confidence."

TSA Forces Woman To Use Naked Body Scanner Three Times Because of “Cute” Figure
Female passengers say they are being targeted by TSA screeners for sexual harassment, with one Texas woman being forced to pass through a naked body scanner three times so chuckling male TSA workers in a back room could get a good look at her “cute” figure.
The incident occurred at DFW International Airport earlier this month. Wife and mother Ellen Terrell was asked by a female TSA screener “Do you play tennis?” When Terrell asked why, the screener responded, “You just have such a cute figure.”
Terrell was then told to go through the naked body scanner not once but a second time. She then heard the TSA screener talking into her microphone saying, “Come on guys, alright, alright, one more time.”
After Terrell was forced to undergo a third blast of radiation from the body scanner, the male TSA agents in the back room who were obviously enjoying the show tried to send her through yet again to see more images of her naked body."

The way toll roads are being financed today, ALL Americans are paying to build them through subsidies of taxpayer money like gas tax, but you won’t be able to use them without paying a toll, too (a DOUBLE TAX)! So whether you can afford to take these toll lanes or not, you’re paying for them. This notion that tolls are user fees is a myth when you look at how heavily they’re subsidized by ALL taxpayers. You’re also paying for them through a higher cost of goods that gets passed onto consumers."

A Very Different Take On The "Iran Barters Gold For Food" Story
"Perhaps a different spin on the news is that gold is "suddenly" just as equially accepted as a pseudo-reserve currency virtually everywhere in the world, as the dollar: a blasphemous concept to many legacy economists for sure. But the truth is that gold and barter appear to be working."
Gold Confirms Investments In China Will Eventually Be Worthless
"Recent indicators and activities suggest the investment collapse and end of Chinese producers as reliable supply sources may occur sooner than was initially expected. The people's social contract with the Party appears to be rapidly breaking down - and there will be the usual chaos, collapse, and redistribution of wealth and power when it does.
China's basic and accelerating problem is the lack of the rule of law and the all-encompassing corruption that has been enriching government officials and their cronies while leaving great masses of Chinese people throughout the entire country in relative poverty."

CANADA: Harper in China: Great, glorious and always correct
" At lower levels of the Chinese government, such as the daily meeting with journalists at the Foreign Ministry, spokespersons never, ever, utter a single spontaneous, unscripted remark.
At the top, when the premier holds his one press conference per year, handpicked journalists have to submit their question in writing in advance. Harper’s news conferences are more frequent than his Chinese counterpart’s, but the underlying principle seems not so very different."

Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous
"9. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros' multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit."
Four legs good, six legs better? EU to spend 3 million Euros to promote eating insects 'as alternative source of protein'

Read Between the Lines: Hollywood Mogul Buys 2,600 Acres of Farmland; Moving to New Zealand
"As we’ve outlined before, farmland is one of the only reasonable physical assets to hold in the event of a major crisis, as you’ll be outside of highly populated metropolitan areas, you’ll have the ability to produce your own food, generate your own energy, and, more so than your urbanite and suburbanite counterparts, stay away from the chaos that will ensue during a major upheaval.
Liberty Media CEO James Malone, like director James Cameron, has also taken refuge outside of major cities at his ranch on the Quebec border, giving him and his family an immediate international bug out plan in the event of an emergency. Another sign from the elite is that large net worth individuals and investment managers are buying up and taking physical delivery of precious metals, which in our humble opinion, is a leading indicator that large in-the-know investors are preparing for a loss of confidence in the stability of the global economic, monetary, financial and/or political systems."

Why Are the Chinese Buying Record Quantities of Gold?
"Analysts believe China bought as much as 490 tons of gold in 2011, double the estimated 245 tons in 2010. “The thing that’s caught people’s minds is the massive increase in Chinese buying,” remarked Ross Norman of Sharps Pixley, a London gold brokerage, this month.
So who in China is buying all this gold?
The People’s Bank of China, the central bank, has been hinting that it is purchasing. “No asset is safe now,” said the PBOC’s Zhang Jianhua at the end of last month. “The only choice to hedge risks is to hold hard currency—gold.” He also said it was smart strategy to buy on market dips. Analysts naturally jumped on his comment as proof that China, the world’s fifth-largest holder of the metal, is in the market for more."
