Tanker attacked by Iranian craft collided with Iran oil platform in March: owner
A Singapore-flagged oil products tanker fired at by Iranian craft on Thursday had previously collided with an Iranian oil drilling platform in March and efforts have since been made to resolve the issue, the owner said on Friday.
The Alpine Eternity was attacked by a number of small craft in international waters off the United Arab Emirates.
The owner South Maritime Pte Ltd and manager Transpetrol said in a joint statement that the tanker collided with an uncharted object on March 21 in the Middle East Gulf, which was later identified as an Iranian jacket platform causing no pollution or injuries to crew.
“Since the March 21 incident, there has been a continuous dialogue between the owners/drilling contractor of the offshore structure, and representatives of the vessel and their liability insurers,” they said in the statement.
“Owners and managers can see no reason why the Iranian Authorities should try to seize the vessel, given the advanced state of negotiations and ongoing dialogue with the Iranian counterparts.”

Today, Armstrong on gold
QUESTION: At Stuttgart you said gold coins would be one asset people could use against the banks and that there is some seasonal high. Could you explain that a bit more in detail.
Thank you. You deserved the standing ovation.
ANSWER: Yes, for the individual you can buy gold coins that are familiar to people rather than bars. That is for burying gold in the backyard.
As for the seasonality, June has often been the turning point in gold be it highs or lows. This time we should see a pop and then any decline will come in the fall. A weekly closing above 1239 should confirm the pop to the upside. The key resistance technically stands at 1309 area. Keep in mind that a rally in gold at this time would reflect perhaps a correction is shares and further send money into the short-end of the government debt curve.

So you want to be a crisis actor? And start a GoFundMe where you can just cash in?

That looks like it might have hurt a bit …
Well this is getting ridiculous. How about we call just trash our cell phones and computers.

Scruffy @ 7:58, re Something strange is going on.
Its just the Global Master Planner Gods rotating the Dollar back down. When they ran it up starting last June, it was to give some “air” or throw a bone to non-USA nations.
Their primary agenda starting after the ’08 meltdown, was to restore the US taxpaying consumer for future global “harvesting”. We will be the carcass again some day. It may not work out for them if they waited too long to start restoring the USA. Starting after 2008 was kinda too late. Time will tell.
Its very simple to figure whats been going on after 1945 and 1971.

“never underestimate the resolve of the lunatic neocon. ”
Lemme write that down! 🙂
Now … let’s see what happens after this little smackdown. That’ll be the interesting thing.

Top of the range smackdown as expected. So very predictable.

House votes to end spy agencies’ bulk collection of phone data
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill on Wednesday that would end spy agencies’ bulk collection of Americans’ telephone data, setting up a potential showdown with the U.S. Senate over the program, which expires on June 1.
The House voted 338-88 for the USA Freedom Act, which would end the bulk collection and instead give intelligence agencies access to telephone data and other records only when a court finds there is reasonable suspicion about a link to international terrorism.
The strong support in the House by both Democrats and Republicans could increase pressure on Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on the bill.

Contrarian that I am…
I see a major Bull in Gold and I base that on Futures markets that cannot make delivery in SIZE AND..
the fact that operating mines have substantially lower ENERGY costs which are a major factor in lowering cost of mining.Some have cut costs by 50 %…Labor costs are not a real problem with unemployment so high.
I have many stocks that broke out today to highs not seen in months .Its an early sign ..but its there .
Im talking about operating mines,not exploration only mines.Profitability is coming on strong and with any price improvement could get very eciting .!The paper short markets are being overwhelmed by physical markets and all thats needed is for China to announce hugh increases in Gold inventory that will spark a RACE to catch up .They are very quiet while thay accumalate so as not to spoil their advandage in having cash to buy while Western banks are telling investers to stay away because they want the public to stay in Dollar assets while the Dollar declines ….Stupid is as Stupid does DUH…Stupid Americans !
are so consumed with Social nonsence they are completely ignorant of finance and what their future holds for them if they dont change radically their Political views they will be become destitute as Politicians continue to sell them out of their future.

I sure hope not. What’s the ending of a war with Iran? No one knows … the skies the limit! I sort of doubt we will provoke anything. We are tapped out. IMO That’s not to say that some neocon might do something really crazy ….
