"The pressure is mounting on the government of India to ease its draconian import restrictions that have been placed on gold. For some time, it appeared that the government was going to ease these restrictions and unleash the pent up demand that has been a result of these restrictions.
Unfortunately, that does not appear to be in the immediate term. Once again the Indian government raised the tariffs on the importation of gold and silver to USD 431 per 10 grams and USD 646 per kg, respectively.
In the end, this will do nothing to solve their current account deficit."
Canada Waives Right to GM Fish Toxicity Info But Can't Say Why
"On March 10, 2014 the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network disclosed that an investment filing at the London Stock Exchange confirmed that AquaBounty is now also seeking approval for human consumption of its GM salmon in Canada. In contrast, Health Canada has consistently refused to confirm or deny that AquaBounty had made any application for approval to sell the genetically modified (GM) fish in Canada.
The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) and Living Oceans Society (LOS) spoke out today against the cloud of secrecy obscuring federal government approvals of genetically modified (GM) organisms in Canada – including what may be the world’s first GM food animal to hit supermarket shelves: AquAdvantage™ salmon."
YUCK!

US, EU staged classic regime change in Ukraine
"The EU and US have carried out a classic coup d'état in Ukraine using ultra-right forces as human material, anti-war activist Brian Becker told RT. And cementing that victory with an IMF aid package would place Ukraine on a Greek path into Europe."
Judge Napolitano: Government Monitoring Newsrooms “Radical New Era of Tyranny”
"What will they think of next?” exclaimed Napolitano during an appearance on Fox & Friends, adding that the proposed measure would chill freedom of the press to an extent where editors and broadcasters would worry about covering certain issues due to fear of government retribution.
Labeling the measure a direct violation of the First Amendment, Napolitano said that the idea was “absolutely chilling."

U.S.: Is freedom of the press dead? FCC to monitor newsrooms around the country
"You cannot allow the federal government into your local newsrooms. You cannot allow them to take over the local news. This is not happening in cable yet. But net neutrality is back. And so net neutrality is the way they’re going to get through into the Internet and on to cable,” Glenn explained. “Do you see what’s happening? They are taking over education. They are taking over media, literally – not just co-opting them."

Harvard Research Finds Link Between Fluoridated Water, ADHD and Mental Disorders
"New research published in The Lancet by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) found that various chemicals that many children are exposed to are having a direct effect on the creation of disorders labelled under the name ADHD as well as other mental disorders. One of the chemicals said to be having an effect is fluoride, or variations of fluoride. Governments have been performing artificial fluoridation for a number of years regardless of the lack of effectiveness it has in preventing tooth decay."
COLD SHOULDER: ABC, CBS Exclude Scientists Critical of Global Warming for More Than 1,300 Days
"The networks were able to promote the myth that there is a scientific consensus for man-made, catastrophic climate change by including climate alarmists much more often than skeptical scientists and by challenging the credentials of the skeptics that they did include.
Like a simple parlor trick, the networks are able to make skeptical scientists vanish, at least from the eyes of their viewers.
In some cases, the broadcast networks have failed to include such scientists for years, while including alarmist scientists within the past six months. ABC, CBS and NBC's lengthy omission of scientists critical of global warming alarmism propped up the myth of a scientific consensus, despite the fact that many scientists and thousands of peer-reviewed studies disagree."

Did Ukraine Just Airlift Its Entire Gold Hoard To The U.S. Fed?
"You may recall that allegedly the logistical requirements prevented the New York Fed from returning the 300 tons of gold the United States stores for Germany back to Germany. After a year of waiting, the New York Fed only sent Germany 5 tons of gold. So only 5 tons of gold was sent from the Fed to Germany, and it wasn’t even the 5 tons that had been originally stored with the Fed.
... anybody with any active brain cells knows that just like Germany, Ukraine will have to wait a very long time, and very likely will never see that gold again. Meaning, that gold is gone."

China, New Zealand begin direct currency trading
"New Zealand allows open trading of its currency. China has strict capital controls which allow it to control the value of the yuan, an important economic and political tool in a developing country where tens of millions of jobs are tied to exporting.
China is New Zealand's largest export market. New Zealand in 2008 became the first developed nation to sign a free trade agreement with China."

Businesses seek to capitalize on your smartphone’s digital trail
"Personal details aren’t captured unless you agree, but your smartphone leaves a trail wherever you go.
The signals, a 12-digit code called a MAC address that’s particular to a specific phone, emit 24/7, regardless of whether a person is actively attempting to connect with Wi-Fi.
But at its most basic level, the data is anonymous and gathered without a person’s explicit permission."

Farewell to gluten free: Why we are so easily fooled by pseudoscience and marketing gimmicks when it comes to food
"... gluten has lately acquired a famously bad reputation among trend-savvy nutritionists, who blame it for everything from irritable bowels and autoimmune disorders to bloating and lethargy, even diabetes, depression, autism and schizophrenia. A whole industry has risen up to capitalize on its wholesale rejection, in which gluten-free foods are often sold at a massive mark-up over “regular” products.
But cracks are appearing, not so much in the medical science, which for the truly gluten-intolerant has made major strides in lockstep with the trend, but in gluten as the pop cultural food obsession du jour."

Al Gore: Critics are 'immoral, unethical and despicable'
"Al Gore, known for wild rants about global warming, including one where his foul language earned him the description “mentally unstable,” is at it again.
Just before the end of 2013 came a really bad week for global warming.
Cairo saw its first snow in 100 years. Oregon, like several other states, reached its coldest temperature in 40 years. Chicago saw its coldest days ever, and – as if to add finality to the trend – Antarctica reached the coldest temperature ever recorded anywhere on earth.
Ironically, just a few years ago, believers in anthropogenic (man-caused) global warming – since renamed “climate change” – claimed cold weather and snow would soon be just a memory."
