Libya Islamic militias declare control of Benghazi

Jul 31, 10:05 AM (ET)

By MAGGIE MICHAEL

CAIRO (AP) — Islamic hard-line militias are claiming to have taken control of Libya’s second largest city, Benghazi, after defeating army units, taking over military barracks and seizing tanks, rockets and hundreds of boxes of ammunition.

A commander of one of the militias in the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries umbrella group told The Associated Press on Thursday, “We are the only force on the ground in Benghazi.” He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.

In a video put out by the umbrella group, Mohammed al-Zahawi, the head of the Ansar al-Shariah militia, congratulates his followers on “this victory and conquest.”

The militias have been battling forces loyal to a renegade general, Khalifa Hifter, who had been waging a campaign to crush extremist militias.

Glad you figured it out. My motto is “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. That is unless you are trying to help straighten out a mess created by someone. Then the principle of the thing takes over. LOL!!! It’ll be good to get back on a positive track. :o)

Farmboy, get out there and PUSH!!

Londoners Cashing in Flee to Suburbs as Home Rally Wanes

For equity-derivatives broker Andrew Adamson, it was a trade too good to pass up.

In October, he was offered 1,000 pounds ($1,700) per square foot for his London townhouse. Other homes in the area were going for about 30 percent less. Adamson accepted it immediately.

London’s housing market, having outperformed the rest of the U.K. with price gains of more than 50 percent in five years, is cooling as owners like Adamson cash out. They’re leaving the city for less costly suburban and country homes because they expect mortgage rates to rise and new lending rules to damp prices. London estate agents had the largest increase in instructions to sell homes in Britain in June and the biggest drop in people seeking to buy them, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

“Now is the time people are cashing in,” said Adamson, 46, who used the 2 million pounds he raised from the sale to buy a country manor in Hampshire, southern England, for 400,000 pounds less. “I caught it before everybody else started talking about it. As soon as everybody starts talking about it you’ve missed the best deal.”

Forget Ebola, Florida Issues “Flesh-Eating Bacteria” Public Health Warning

Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/30/2014 22:50 -0400

As Ebola spreads mercilessly across the world, it appears Florida has a problem that sounds just as awful. As CBS reports, Florida health officials are warning beachgoers about a seawater bacterium that can invade cuts and scrapes to cause flesh-eating disease. At least 11 Floridians have contracted Vibrio vulnificus so far this year and two have died, according to the most recent state data.

Yeah, Obama’s going to be pissed at Rahm Emanuel for not fixing those numbers.

Nice to see your LSG isn’t getting bopped on those good numbers. Highly unusual.

“Chicago PMI 52.6 HUGE MISS. Expectations 62.6”

D’oh!

Shouldn’t the pm shares be getting hit ALOT harder?

USD starting to weaken, bonds selling of a little after selling off a lot yesterday.

Crosscurrents everywhere.

Chicago PMI 52.6 HUGE MISS. Expectations 62.6

Interesting article you posted. Would raise it a notch from “Interesting Possibility” to more like, “Interesting Probability”.

Betcha Germany wishes it had deposited its tons of Gold with China instead of the U.S. Probably a much better chance of getting it back.

Floridagold can relate to Germany’s predicament I’m sure. What Fuzzies ? 🙂

“…which in itself makes no sense unless due to some very very bad insecticide laced weed.”

LOL!   Likely.

The aptly named Doobie Brothers did a song… Long Train runnin’ !

MadMike – got your six. Get some rest!

Farmboy – good morning! I’m counting on you to give G & S “the mother of all comebacks!”

That’s a good question. I always expect them to do better but they usually disappoint me. Maybe at $30 or $40 silver?

What is it? Sanctions on Russia?

What if it’s more devious? What if it’s a shot across Germany’s bow that if they leave the Euro the US banks are going to raid their markets?

For awhile pm’s were going against the SM, wish we could get back to that.

Good Morning Oasis Dwellers. Thanks for the best coffee in town courtesy of Buygold ( It’s a Miracle !) and the ever faithful Mad Mike. We are double Blessed this morning.

In the words of Winedoc, “Onward Pilgrams !”

And the cries are to be heard around the world, “Set Gold Free !”

Little marching music for the Goldhearts this morning.
