Gold Train
The CP ‘Royal Canadian’ leaves Crowsnest Pass
behind. Out of the mountains, onto the great plains.
Hello Alberta!

Finally this is done
US mining giant Freeport finally reaches terms on the state-forced divestment of the Grasberg mine, a $3.8 billion deal President Joko Widodo characterized as an ‘historic moment’
It’s done. After two years of often fraught negotiations – and a last-minute environmental hiccup – the government and US mineral giant Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) have finally concluded an agreement effectively nationalizing Indonesia’s most prized mining asset in the mountains of easternmost Papua.

What a gutsy lady; not to be intimidated. Too bad much of the rest of Congress is “for sale”.
In the spirit of the season
Merry Christmas everyone!
Re The Media Mantra, It’s NOT Really A Trade War, It’s a Reversal Transition
“It” wasn’t a “trade war” when back in 1979 TPTB started or decided to give China and other backward undeveloped countries all the domestic American consumer product jobs, and “its” not a trade war now.
Those trends simply went too far and had to stop and reverse on their own. And re the global economy failing? It’s NOT capitalism failing. Its international socialism that’s failing because they ran out of other America’s money to spend.
By The Way Again. Why The Dollar Was Abruptly Manually Raised In June 2014?
It was because of Basel III, International rules re globally active banks. They don’t care about us. They thing we are too fat and spoiled and ripe for the picking. But we’ve already been harvested, and crashed in 2008. Will they ever favor us and DROP that dopey Dollar soon? For their own good?
Or else there will be nothing to harvest from us later. That would explain “Trump” the America first, lower taxes and high tariffs on imports agendas.
By The Way, Trump Must Know Something About The Future Chaos
I read a long story about the showdown re the wall, and in one little part where Trump. said…
“This is our only chance that we’ll ever have, in our opinion, because of the world and the way it breaks out, to get border security”
Now what does that tell ya? Put your thinking caps on. It sounds to me like a mess gradually unfolding that will pick up speed and see hundreds of millions people just moving and going wherever they want to go, whether its legal or not. An uncontrolled free for all. “FU were getting out of here and going over there, and we don’t care”.
A USA “life boat” will sink if it gets over loaded. We’re already half sunk. China has all the work now, and the worlds refugees need to go over there. But technically, China is really the ONLY sovereign nation on the planet. And the Federal Reserve is really the global central bank.
Re “cabinet/staff firings, walkouts and mutinies piling up”
I’m thinking if I worked there, and I thought the shit was going to hit the fan soon, I’d not want to be working there and be part of it. As for bringing home troops, after decades of defending other countries? Haven’t we done ENOUGH???
Let the other freeloader countries be the free global police man, and take on some responsibility and cost for a change. The USA borrowed heavily to help them, note $21 trillion national debt. I think its China’s turn. They have a “loaf” US consumer dollars under each arm.
Haven’t we done ENOUGH???
Macro
Mattis is one of the best as far as war and I respect him for that if it is about defending our country, not others not even our Ally’s.Mattis could help end active insurgents over there but due to the amount of them including in neighboring countries more will pop up, its never ending.
Trump has military advisors. Trump as well as ” we the people” has a lot of Obama holdovers as well as group think that does not put us first. We need people placing American citizens first, not putting them in harms way over a ideology that hates us, and our sovereignty.
Meanwhile we have a declining stock market and appears a rare divergence between the market and the economy. Economy moving forward thank to Trump but market going down, one because Democrats took the house started down then China trade negotiations who has been stealing from us for decades.
Economically clueless like talk show host Maher hopes economy crashes to hurt Trump. Guess his selfish plan backfired. Market down economy up. Maybe time to put their ” own” money where their big mouth is instead of young American family’s.

The difference between Yeltsin and Donald J. Trump is huge. Where Yeltsin was very sensitive with the Moon in Cancer (nurturing mentality) at his Ascendant opposing (inability to adjust) Mercury, planet of reasoning ability, Trump has Mars (warrior) at his Ascendant trine his Moon…his mental processes arise from impressions received from environment…feelings about certain things, hunches, intuitions and capacities for absorbing certain kinds of information. And where Yeltsin had Mars opposing his Sun, thereby limiting his success, DJT has Mars sextile his Sun, affording him many opportunities to successfully dispatch his aggressive instincts. Don’t be derailed by superficial articles.
Trump starting to look like the American equivalent of Boris Yeltsin in more ways than one…
With his cabinet/staff firings, walkouts and mutinies piling up, DJT is starting to look like the fall guy they made Yeltsin to financially rape and pillage Russia.
The resemblance is eerey…
