That to me looks like good news. Freeport will now or in the future, have to buy and sell US produced Copper and Gold, with US labor and taxes. Operating across borders using cheap labor and no US taxes, is how they hold prices below normal.

In the past, the name of the game was promote and help the borrowers and spenders, and SCREW the American savers and screw the American producers. Its over. Any producer of any thing always got a feast or famine existence. Just enough during the feast to keep you barely alive until you get thrown the next bone.

Invigorating!!  My kinda music!!

Danes fighting for ISIS in Syria receive disability benefits at home – report

Danish citizens fighting alongside Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists in Syria have allegedly been receiving sickness and disability benefits from their government, according to a report.

Danes who were ruled too sick or disabled to work, and were therefore granted an early pension, later traveled to Syria to take part in the war, the Berlingske newspaper reported on Monday, citing Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET).

TPTB’s economists have been bull shitting us for decades. Out right lying, under reporting the CPI inflation rate for decades resulting is little to no raises for entry level wage, Social Security, and non union private sector wages. Over reporting the GDP etc etc. Many bad unneeded counter productive people will lose their jobs. Even at the EPA and the endangered species employees. GONE. Maybe they will get jobs in factories drilling holes all day. This fits my…..”What you were getting away with you better stop” Its all in reverse.

Parts, Bon Apatite :

What’s got some statisticians worried, though, is the risk of doctored economic data coming from the administration itself.

the number crunchers worry

Trump has yet to nominate anyone to the Council of Economic Advisers, established in 1946

There are rules that “protect the statistics from direct manipulation, but don’t address all my concerns about independence,”

after 32 years at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis,

Brent Moulton..he added in the piece, titled “Why I’m Concerned About the Independence of U.S. Statistical Agencies.”

That OpEx trade will work until it doesn’t. I don’t see much changing in the bankster’s game plans yet. HOWEVER…I do think the PM’s are slooooowlyy beginning to show some strength for a whole slew of reasons as pointed out in the audio link I posted the other day. For the first time, in a long time, I am quite optimistic about our PM’s and look for some exciting times in 2017-2018.

For those that missed it, here is the link again. I think it worthy of a serious listen.

LocalBitcoin scam alert — Smythe, 4:11:39 2/19/17 Sun
Warning LBC Scam Alert..
u/whatgoxneeds9h

A warning for you or any of your friends who may be regular Local Bitcoin Traders. Over the last month or so I became the victim of a clever scam while out trading. Here’s how the scam works.

Two seriously good looking 21 year old girls come over to your car as you’re waiting for your meet-up. They both start washing your windshield with a rag while their cleavage is practically falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It’s impossible not to look.

When you thank them or offer a tip, they say no and instead ask you for a lift to a coffee-shop. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and gives you a blowjob, while the other one steals your phone and asks for your wallet.dat and keys.

I had my phone stolen on the 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th of last month and the 2nd of this month, 4th, three times on the 5th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again today

the more the party of the jackass has to defend itself against complaints from its leftist base, the more it moves to the left.
the more the party of the jackass moves to the left, the more it abandons the center in the american political arena.
the more the party of the jackass abandons the center, the stronger the influence of the leftists in the party.
the more the party of the jackass solidifies its position on the left, the smaller that position becomes.
the party of the jackass appears to be stuck in a self reinforcing feedback loop – a death spiral.

I bet something in Ukraine to ratchet up the NATO build up on the second front to Syria, a la Iran.

Looking like the spooks want Trump down, war up. Could someone relabel that Bovine detector please.

and he can stay in the London Embassy churning out google/twitter hits to support his family…

He and Trump need to get some game to continue the game…

Coffee this morning served with a side of Iodine Radiation pills.  Something is leaking in Northern Europe…
