Lavrov: “I’m 100% Certain Trump And Putin Wouldn’t Allow A Military Confrontation”
Morning Maddog
USD ripping higher for the second day in a row, to be honest I’m surprised we’re not down more. Rates inching up again.
Too many bullish silver articles circulated this week, OpEx, pick your poison.
Looks like gold will be lucky to hold $1340 and SLV $16

Interview With Boy In Syria Video Raises More Doubts Over “Chemical Attack”
The boy portrayed as a ‘victim’ in a video of the alleged chemical attack in Douma has told a group of Russian correspondents led by Evgeny Poddubny that he was asked to go to hospital, where people “grabbed” him and started “pouring water” over his head.
One of the main ‘characters’ in the footage is a soaked boy, who is seen being sprayed with water by people who claim to be ‘rescue workers.’ It’s not clear whether they are doctors from the hospital, human rights activists, or White Helmets members. The latter usually make such videos and send them to news agencies, including Reuters.
Russian broadcaster VGTRK said it found the boy in the video, who appeared to be 11-year-old Hassan Diab. His story differed from the one presented by the activists and later propagated by the mainstream media.
He told Poddubny:
“Somebody was shouting that we had to go to the hospital, so we went there. When I came in, some people grabbed me and started pouring water over my head,”
He was eventually found by his father, who said he didn’t hear about any chemical attack that day.
“I went to the hospital, walked upstairs, and found my wife and children. I asked them what had happened, and they said people outside were shouting about some smell, and told them to go to the hospital. At the hospital, they gave dates and cookies to the kids,” he said.

When my aged dog Lola got pancreatitis and had 0 appetite the vet fed her human baby food. Easy to eat and digest.

Below, Part Of an E-Mail From A Smelter, My Post of Nov 17 2015 A Couple Of Weeks Before THE Bottom At $1060
Larry,
I enjoyed your commentary, so true and so sad. Look for gold to bottom out at $1,030 as my brother in law claims. Next week will be the deciding factor. My brother in law, his name is Gary Wagner has a news letter for precious metals. Look it up, it’s called The Gold Forecast.
Gary is a genius at mapping and strategy, he hits the market about 75% of the time. Have fun
Sincerely
Norman

scum attacking
they smashed Aussie/Dlr all day tdy and are after it again, plus now are ramming Dlr/Yen, while PM’s get hit, as they try to reverse the Ag breakout.
All so predictable…will it work.
Ipso
Point is if they deny any chemicals were used why didn’t they allow scientists or military on the ground to investigate? Apparently he didn’t even bother to investigate just denied it happened.
Ipso
Then why did he say he didn’t he deny there was a attack and say he didn’t do it? Or one of his commentators anyways.
goldielocks @ 17:00
If Assad didn’t do “it” then why are we bombing him?
Most evidence points to no chemical attack at all.
Ipso
If Assad didn’t do it why is it our responsibility to find out who did it? But then again that would be like asking The swamp to investigate DNC Seth murder. If he or Russia wernt behind it why aren’t they saying who did? Not sure I’d believe them either but all we get is I didn’t do it then back to business as usual. Well who did and why aren’t they concerned? Same thing every time, other than life means nothing to them apparently.
‘The More, the Better’: Australia Ready to Welcome South African Farmers
Australia is laying the legislative groundwork necessary to welcome persecuted South African farmers who face a targeted campaign of violence at home, the country’s top legal officer said.
Attorney-General Christian Porter pledged Wednesday to help at-risk farmers applying for visas, telling the Australian newspaper “the more South Africans in our local community the better.”
Mr Porter’s own Perth electorate of Pearce had more than 5000 South African-born residents at the last census, which recorded 2656 Afrikaans speakers living in the seat. Now he wants to welcome more.
“More than any other place in Australia, South Africans have made their home in the north coast of WA, in my electorate. They are hardworking and make a huge contribution to our local community,” Mr. Porter said.
He said over the past five years his office had helped a steady stream of South Africans with immigration issues.
Mr. Copper @ 12:35. Got your note about reversal of trends.
While expecting that reversals are to be expected over time, for the time being I am guided by the three-word mantra that has been my beacon for quite some time – buy physical silver.
scum bidding Drl and ramming SM
Well who else wants to buy the SM here by the boat load ????

I’d take your dog to another vet ASAP. Not eating and bringing it up there has to be something wrong. Be careful force feeding, she he could aspirate it get in lungs and get aspiration pneumonia or worse. It can also stimulate gaging and vomiting which can cause dehydration. Try a little bit at a time over time. If dog on pain med already if too much they can stop eating and just sleep. There are non drowsy steroid type meds but that’s for joint pain mostly. If the meds don’t make a difference you know that’s not the problem or it’s even worse pain wise. If they perk up then you know. Wouldn’t hurt to try. Do you know if she or he could of been exposed to anything including ticks or could of eaten something toxic if it was sudden? Anyways I’d switch doctors today.
A couple worries about silver
the slv calls that expire tomorrow=the $16 & $16.50 have will have 100,ooocalls to settle
Too many clowns like Rubino-Goldcore & many others etc calling for an explosion/short squeeze
but sometimes the wolf really is at the door…so what do I know?
the $ index is up .352
****************************
I’m impressed that PM stocks/ETFs are holding up so well–JNUG is only down 6 cents but 63 cents off the opening surge…I probably should just buy the stock of SLV and JNUG-snd stop screwing with the options cause it looks like G&S want to rally…
Hey Elliot
If I was a gov’t I’d like all my citizens to be just like you.

Sounds good!
I have a few Osisko as well. I know that the Windfall Lake project has had numerous high grade holes. The whole area seems to have good gold. I’m looking forward to BTR getting taken out at a nice premium. That way you avoid that dangerous start up period which has sunk many a heretofore well regarded company.
Cheers
Maddog……….on recent construction project in Cincinnati they
discovered a bunch of skeletons that were buried face down. They determined they were from the 1800’s and there was a typhoid epidemic during that time period and the bodies had to be buried quick. It wouldn’t have mattered though because they treated typhoid with mercury that showed up in the skeletons and the high mercury dosage would have killed them anyway. We’ll probably hear a 100 years from now that statins were the mercury of our time.
Ipso……….Bonterra…….May ju$t might be your month
I don’t own Bonterra directly but Osisko Mining is due to release its updated Windfall resource update next month and the new resource will have at least 500,ooo meters of new drill results (800,000 meter drill program)included in the update. I checked Osisko and didn’t see any recent insider selling from management. Its got to be close to 3.5-4 mil golds ounces otherwise I’m sure there would have been some selling. I think the other Osisko (or) may have sold a Bonterra position only because they wanted cash and had a big profit at the time. I haven’t seen that size of a drill program since ABX drilled the Arequippa project in Peru. Good news usually flows to surrounding land owners.
