Silverngold, No. This was more then 60 years ago in Northern California.
re strikes against ISIS terror
This situation looks to me like a massive populous movement unfolding. Those people obviously want to succeed from the global commune-ity “union” just like the Confederate states wanted to succeed from the north.
In the FUTURE, there WILL be new border lines and country names in the ME.
Equisetum
Yes, nice hat!
PS You’re much wealthier than I had thought …
re Obama will FINALLY ask Congress to authorize strikes against ISIS terror
They can’t possibly win this situation, no matter how many strikes they strike. The situation has EVOLVED from strikes for 60 some years now. Like the bacteria that learned to survive from strikes of anti biotic drugs.
PS.
The situation just keeps getting worse and worse over DECADES!! TPTB are a bunch of DUMMIES. They are not mechanically inclined so don’t UNDERSTAND.
If you create something, and its not working right, and you keep making changes to fix it, and the mechanism works even WORSE, you have to start over. With a new design.
Not only are they mechanically disadvantaged, they are EMOTIONALLY and politically incorrectly involved.
Back to the drawing board. SIMPLE.

That dentist didn’t happen to be named Dr Rosa did it?? Silverngold
ipso facto @ 13:35 So soft it leaves finger prints huh??
And yet it didn’t wear smooth tumbling around for a few hundred thousand years. Remarkable!! Silverngold
@WANKA
I think reality is trying to rear its ugly head to TPTB, as they keep trying to maintain fantasy. TPTB can’t win in the long term. Most all decisions for the past 60 years were either emotional or special interest based.
None of the laws, regulations, culturing engineering etc of the past were based on being practical without emotion or bribery involved.
Mr Copper
IMHO no this little spike in rates is just a bounce. Just like oil.
S & P Downgrades Greece
LOL, they can’t downgrade the U.S. ever again so why not?
Surprised the DOW isn’t up another 200 pts.
FYI >>>SUDDEN JUMP IN INTEREST RATES<<>1.65% low is now 1.95% an 18% Gain In Rates
In Just Five Days!! Is this now a bottom, a turning point? Or a new trend up for rates and down for Bonds?

When I was young I had a dentist that made gold nuggets out of old gold crowns. He would melt them down and pour them into a bed of sand. Looked very natural. Not at all like the 17lb one.
Mr.Copper
I agree it is a good thing. A spit in the ocean but at least it’s something.
Wanka and silverngold
Looking at that “nugget” a little closer … it looks like there is finger indentations in it! 🙂
Where Is Germany’s Gold?

ipso facto @ 10:03 Obama pulls plug on $1.65 billion carbon-capture project
That is very good, and another sign of reversal of the 2008 meltdown past…Wasting money on things not needed is no longer an option. The tax ABSORBING “environment sector” jobs and businesses “industry” ha, never existed before all the real tax PAYING industries were sent off shore.
Bottom line. The US economy is in a slow motion stealth reversal, exactly like the invisible stealth reversal transition, after 1971, removal of our industries instead of our gold. But the gold is probably gone too re stealth.
Silverngold
Brainless idiots yep. Lol Was watching some game wardens put up a remote control deer  near a road. Watched a truck drive by a screech it backed up, bam bam then realized it wasn’t real sped off but got caught. He wound up with all sorts of violations. I’m surprised the cops didn’t just sit by that tree and just wait for some of these idiots.
The ones in office might have another surprise when they find Putin has a better trade deal with Europe than the US lawyers thought up. Obama been out classed.
Ipso and Wanka….Nugget
The closest I can think of in appearance is when we made small “cleanup” nuggets out of flour gold and flakes of gold left in the bottom of the pan or the sluicebox using mercury which it all adheres to; then burned off the mercury to make small nuggets of pure gold. Just saying…….Silverngold
silverngold
I agree. That nugget looks like no nugget I have ever seen. Reminds me of one of equisetum’s 2 kilo “gold bars.”
Actually in the story they questioned that picture’s veracity too.
Cheers
All that matters is that 8 largest Banks are collusively rigging prices lower in the hope that they can get some of the 60 largest Spec funds to liquidate. The Banks’ clear goal has been to breach the 200-day moving average and, as yet, they’ve been unsuccessful. For the ultimate, headline-grabbing bang for their manipulative buck, they’re hoping to use tomorrow’s BLSBS to inspire the selling needed to finally break down and close price below this important technical indicator. Let’s see if we can write the Yahoo Finance or Marketwatch story right now:
“Following today’s surprisingly strong US jobs report, gold fell over 1% and closed below the technically-important 200-day moving average for the first time in three weeks. Analysts interviewed by (insert media here) noted that today’s close likely indicates more selling to come and foreshadows an end to the nacsent rally in the yellow metal that seemed to begin in January.”
See how that works?
Well Wanky that’s a bit of a conundrum
because morale won’t improve until the 3.5 year repeated beatings stop.
ipso facto….gold nugget
I’ve seen quite few gold nuggets, all the way from California to Alaska, but I’ve never seen one anywhere close to looking like that one. That one looks to have been manufactured. No way considering how soft gold is that a naturally occurring nugget has that kind of rough surface, and normally something that large would have quartz or other rock embedded in the nugget too. Something smells pretty “fishy” about that story. Just saying…….Silverngold
