Golf banned by China’s Communist Party

Members of China’s Communist Party banned from golf and excessive eating, while “improper” sexual relations also targeted under new rules

Hope you’re right and don’t have indigestion. 🙂

Funny how they naked short so fast to crush the price and then cover so strategically – at least they’re covering a little.

Go to the “other” tent and they’re probably betting on $700 by EOY. Definitely 2 camps any more

Interesting. I guess we find out soon enough if his predictions pan out.

Researchers from Australia believe they have found a cheap way to pull mercury from water: a polymer made from sulphur and oranges.

The discovery was made by Dr. Justin Chalker, whose findings will be published in the chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Chalker is a researcher at Flinders University, and his discovery was announced in Blogs at Flinders.

Chalker’s goal was to develop a cheap substance that could be used in large-scale environmental clean-ups that could be coated on pipes or even used in large bodies of water.

The polymer contains sulphur, which is a byproduct of industrial waste, and limonene, which is produced by the citrus industry and mainly contains orange peels.

When the sulphur-limonene polysulfide contacts mercury, it turns bright yellow.

Chalker was happy to devise a polymer out of two products that are essentially landfill.

“More than 70 million tonnes of sulphur is produced each year by the petroleum industry, so there are literally mountains of it lying, unused, around the globe, while more than 70 thousand tons of limonene is produced each year by the citrus industry (limonene is found mainly in orange peels),” Chalker told Blogs at Flinders.

“So not only is this new polymer good for solving the problem of mercury pollution, but it also has the added environmental bonus of putting this waste material to good use while converting them into a form that is much easier to store so that once the material is ‘full’ it can easily be removed and replaced.”

Getting rid of mercury pollution inexpensively using orange peels

Caution: Be advised that Israel is the size of New Jersey, has been at war with the Arab World since 1946, and the population has been conditioned to war and terrorism since birth. We are naïve and not prepared for the threats highlighted in red below. The most important capability we have in combating this threat is intelligence collection, and we seen to be tossing that to the wind in the name, ironically, of liberty.

Do you know who Juval Aviv is? He was Golda Meir’s bodyguard and the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ‘ Munich ‘ was based. Golda Meir appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City a few weeks ago, Aviv shared information that  EVERY American needs to know, but that our government has not yet shared with us.
A little background:
Aviv predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O’Reilly show on  ‘Fox News’, stating publicly that it would happen within a week.  At the time, O’Reilly laughed and mocked him, saying that in a week he wanted Aviv back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv also gave intelligence to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His report specifically said that they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments…I think we all know what happened, right? Congress has since hired Aviv as a security consultant.
Aviv predicts that the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try hijacking a plane again as they know the people on board will never go down quietly again. Aviv says that our airport security is a joke ‘that we have been reactionary’ rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
Example 1
Because an idiot tried to light his shoe on fire, now everyone has to take off their shoes.
Example 2 A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives, and now we can’t bring liquids on board. He says he’s waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; government security will then have us all traveling naked!

Last but not least, our airport security looks for metal, but the new explosives are made of plastic! Currently, our government only focuses on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. For example, it would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate, such as Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as in rural America this time (Wyoming, Montana, etc.). The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won’t need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.

Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U.S. Government does not want to ‘alarm American citizens’ with the facts. The world, however, is soon going to become ‘a different place’, Aviv says, where issues like ‘global warming’ and political correctness will have become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, Aviv says that Americans don’t have to be concerned about being nuked. He says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. Instead, they like to use suicide, as it’s cheap, it’s easy, and it’s effective and they have an infinite abundance of young, ignorant, fanatic militants more than willing to ‘go see Allah’.
Aviv also says the next level of terrorists over which America should be most concerned will not be coming from abroad. They will instead be ‘home grown’ meaning they will have attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won’t know/understand a thing about them.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for its intelligence. Instead, we need to follow Israel’s, Ireland’s and England’s hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to trust ‘aware’ citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U.S. Government continues to treat us, its citizens, ‘like babies’. Our government thinks we can’t handle the truth’ and are concerned that we’ll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for Congress by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well ‘trained’ that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, ‘Unattended Bag!’ The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.

But, unfortunately, America hasn’t been ‘hurt enough’ yet by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it’s the citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism. Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, children who were basically ‘lost’ without parents being able to pick them up, and schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until their parents could get there.

(In New York City, in some cases this was days!) He stresses the importance of  having a plan that’s agreed upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children’s schools and demand that the schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel. He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Does your family know what to do if you can’t contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency?
Aviv says that the U.S. Government has in force a plan that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off EVERYONE’s ability to use cell phones, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated. How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot use phones, internet? Bottom line, you need to have a plan!

I’m guessing we end the day higher than where we are right now. Just a hunch … could be indigestion.

yeah, “get the H out of there” sounds good to me too.

Really, other than the constant rig, gold has held up surprisingly well considering the move up in the USD, course there have been plenty of days in the last few years where we’ve seen USD down/gold down.

I don’t really see how the Fed can even consider raising rates with the USD strength and a weakening economy.

Regardless, hard to see anything helping gold in these rigged markets.

ISIS Tries To Blow Up Russian Bombers With Flying Condom Bombs

Why is SLW positive and silver negative. Someone forgot to disconnect SLW from the general stock market pumping mechanism. It’ll be fixed shortly I’m sure

Hard to explain the gold drop with the economic news … of course I mean without mentioning the rig.

At this point I think we should just get the H out of there. We seem to be facilitating the troublemakers. At least we haven’t been stupid enough to put any real amount of ground troops back in Iraq.

“That Russia, Jordan coordination is good news”

I agree with that. The more we seem to acting on our lonesome then the less chance of doing something really crazy.

That Russia, Jordan coordination is good news. Despite what we hear on the MSM in the west, it appears Russia is making some serious head way.

Well, I guess this day is over. Ecstasy to agony in 30 minutes.

Good, we need a big locomotive to haul the POG over the mountains.

I kinda doubt it. They didn’t just hit pm’s they hit commodities across the board.

Pretty frustrating stuff.

Sheesh … maybe we get a pop after the beatdown ends …

It takes a lot of JPM shorts to knock gold down like that. Bastards
