The Darkest Hours

The Tax “Reform” bill working its way painfully out the digestive system of congress like a sigmoid fistula, ought be re-named the US Asset-stripping Assistance Act of 2017, because that’s what is about to splatter the faces of the waiting public, most of whom won’t have a personal lobbyist / tax lawyer by their sides holding a protective tarpulin during the climactic colonic burst of legislation.

Sssshhhh…. The media has not groked this, but the economy is actually collapsing, and the nova-like expansion of the stock markets is exactly the sort of action you might expect in a system getting ready to blow. Meanwhile, the more visible rise of the laughable scam known as crypto-currency, is like the plume of smoke coming out of Vesuvius around 79 AD — an amusing curiosity to the citizens of Pompeii below, going about their normal activities, eating pizza, buying slaves, making love — before hellfire rained down on them.

Whatever the corporate tax rate might be, it won’t be enough to rescue the Ponzi scheme that governing has become, with its implacable costs of empire. So the real aim here is to keep up appearances at all costs just a little while longer while the table scraps of a four-hundred-year-long New World banquet get tossed to the hogs of Wall Street and their accomplices. The catch is that even hogs busy fattening up don’t have a clue about their imminent slaughter.

I guess our site went off the tracks same as that Amtrack train. Fortunately we are up and running with no casualties. 🙂

there was a glitchstorm, but it seems to be lifting

IMO one of the most savvy and honest people on the planet tells it like it is.

Site is working if this goes through. 11:01 AM here.

not allowed to post my message and was asked if I were a ROBOT

I THOUGHT tha “proving you’re not a robot nonsense” was completely removed!

Please check again and make sure it is—TIA! You’re the best!!

@ Ipso – Is site working?   somebody please post

It may be working, but it is impossibly slow.

It took at least  2-3 minutes for the site to open.

Perhaps another 10-15 minutes to sign in and write this.

It is now 9:13 PST and I am hitting the Publish button.

Thanks for your work keeping the Tent open

** UPDATE 9:18 PST **

** UPDATE 10:48 PST **

I could not get “Publish” to work at all and gave up – I just logged back on a minute ago and it looks like this might go.

it did!  and “edit” worked too !

we are about to get an explosive rally.

Good to see the shares holding up nicely today – in particular the silver shares seem to be outperforming a little.

Hopefully the tax loss selling is just about finished.

I’m obviously up and running now too.

This is all about challenging the USD IMHO.

Trump Releases Full National Security Strategy – Takes Aim At China, Russia In Defense Of Unipolar World Order

while ‘trade’ is the cover, perhaps it was comments from HR McMaster, US national security adviser who oversaw the strategy, this week that confirm the threat to dollar hegemony as he said China – along with Russia – was a “revisionist power” that was “undermining the international order.”

Hopefully we have smooth sailing now …

ipso when you asked for a test tried to log in but a page came up and said I have tried to many log times.

Had to go thru some hoops.

It appears to be working for me without too much delay. Maybe it’s being resolved.

I keep trying but it looks like someone in the routing has dropped the ball. If this goes through it’ll be the 3rd time I tried but got timed out with the others. Good luck my friend. Silverngold

Following a 40-day stoppage, employees of Minera Media Luna who work at El Limón-Guajes site in the Mexican state of Guerrero are going back to work.

Minera Media Luna is Canada’s Torex Gold Resources (TSX:TXG) wholly-owned subsidiary in the Latin American country. It operates the El Limón-Guajes project, one of the richest open-pit gold deposits in Mexico at a resource grade of 2.65 g/t.

Starting on November 6, 2017, some three dozen workers blocked the entrance of the mine near the town of Real de Limón, demanding the right to join the National Union of Mine, Metal, Steel and Allied Workers of the Mexican Republic, known as Los Mineros. The problem was that Media Luna had already signed an agreement with a different union.

To resolve the issue, the company organized a series of meetings with Los Mineros and a consultation process, which was supervised by a team of notary publics. According to a press release issued by Torex, following this consultation process, 274 of the 520 people eligible to participate agreed upon aborting the strike.
