Pentagon in Race for Raw Materials

Interesting article from the Wall St Journal on the US military investigating widening the range of strategic raw materials it stockpiles. The article notes "The Defense Department holds in government warehouses a limited number of critical materials—such as cobalt, tin and zinc". Whilst this is sensible, as far as I know none of these elements are in short supply or geographically restricted.

What the article fails to mention is silver. The US used to have the the world's largest silver stockpile for the very reason it was strategic to waging modern warfare. In fact the Manhattan Project would not have been possible without the use of 4.7mil oz of silver to make super magnets and busbars. (Read the story here) In more recent times silver has been used in silver-zinc batteries, electrical wiring and solder to such an extent a single cruise missile may contain up to 15 kg of silver. But in the wisdom only the US Military could posses the whole stockpile was transferred to the treasury and then over time all of the stockpile was made it's way onto the open market.

This story is worth watching over the coming year to see if the US Military continues with a "just in time delivery" method for silver purchases or if they re-add silver to the strategic stockpiles. Maybe even they will get around to reading the USGS report on silver being most likely the first element in the periodic table to become extinct. (Read the story here) One can only guess what the silver price will go to if the US Military wades into the incredibly small silver market with a checkbook backed by Uncle Ben's printing press.

David Icke

Whilst I don't subscribe to all of David Icke's theories on Life the Universe and Everything, I have not come across anyone who can describe the mechanics of fractional reserve banking as well as David can. Now with Ben Bernanke floating the idea of zero reserve banking even the “fractional” component of the fraud maybe history.

Interview with David Icke

Ben Bernanke's zero reserve banking


Extract from David Icke's interview with the Daily Bell.com:

David Icke: The economic system that we have today is absolutely grotesque. Again people don't realize what the economic system is. We lend people money that doesn't even exist and charge them interest on it. It's just figures on a screen. And they lend you these figures on a screen and you must pay interest back on money that has never, does not or will never exist! This is what the banking system is.
Banks are allowed to lend money at least ten times on what they have on deposits – it's called fractional reserve lending. Which means when you go into a bank and ask for $50,000 loan, they don't give you $50,000, they don't move precious metal anywhere or print any money, they just type into your account $50,000. And from that moment you are paying them back $50,000 plus interest that doesn't exist, it's just been conjured out of nowhere on a screen.
Every time you put a dollar in the bank, you are giving the bank the right to lend at least $10 it doesn't have and charge interest on it. There is never ever anywhere near enough money in circulation to pay back all the loans and all the interest on the loans outstanding. It's built in by design. So that means people are losing their homes, losing their businesses, losing their land, it's built into the system.
It has to happen because there is not enough money in circulation to pay back the interest and the loans outstanding. You pay Peter to pay Paul while there is an economic expansion going on but as soon as a depression comes in, then the amount of money in circulation is reduced by the banks refusing to issue credit. Then suddenly the amount of money in circulation is even less, far less that is necessary to pay all the outstanding principal and interest on the loans, so therefore more people lose their homes and their businesses in very large numbers.

The mind boggles....

A silver lining in a the gathering storm clouds

The linked story at the end of this post is an excellent summary of the growing China vs. USA cold war and how China is trying to shield itself from any blow back that may come as part of any financial attack it launches on the US.

In reference to silver the article does mention that China was once one of the world's largest exporters of silver and now they are a minimal exporter, although it doesn't say why China had all this silver in the first place. Whilst there is some primary (defined as more than 50% of the income of the mine is derived from the sale of silver ore) silver mines in China the fact is almost 80% of the world's silver is derived from by-product smelting of base metal ores (mostly zinc, lead, copper). Whilst China does produce such ores locally overwhelmingly they obtain their base metals in the form of concentrates (ie ore that has had the surrounding rock removed, but has not been refined to separate out the constitute elements). China has over the last decade has become the refiner for the world, taking concentrates from countries such as Australia, Canada and Brazil refining them and then re-exporting some of the resulting metal back to the rest of the world. It is not surprising that China has become the refiner of choice, smelters are dirty environmental nightmares. Acid rain (from sulfur emissions causing the creation of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) when mixed with water vapour - many base metals are found as sulphides, ie contain sulphur) and lead poisoning being the most notable issues. Just look at a photo of Queenstown Tasmania, Australia to see what acid rain from a tin smelter can do to a formerly forested valley HERE and a report on how Chinese lead smelters HERE can affect the local children.

China has been promoting silver investments to their populations from at least early 2009 (reported on this blog on 24 Oct 2009 HERE). History repeats itself in this instance as China was once the greatest holder of silver prior to becoming a vasil state of the British Empire and the resultant Opium Wars. It fact it has been postulated the Great Depression was in part initiated by Britain to force China off their silver standard. Let us not forget that silver has been used in more places for a longer periods of time as money than anything else, at least 5,000 yrs. Even Jesus was sold out for 30 pieces of silver, not gold, and that Jesus kicked out the "money changers" from the temple for running a Jewish silver coinage scam.

One day silver will return to world coinage and a new age of reason will be ushered in, just as happened in ancient Greece and Rome when they instituted a standard set of weights, measures and purity of the metal contained in their money - leading to unprecedented growth in science and knowledge. Only when these great empires debased their coinage did they fall – very reminiscent of the unparallelled issuance of money from the last great empire, the USA....see the latest Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis graph of monetary expansion to see the shocking truth HERE.

Nixon closing the Gold Window

Recently came accross this video of President Nixon delcaring he was suspending convertibility of the US $ into gold by foriegn govts.

Some background:

De Gaulle instructed the Banque de France to increase the rate at which new dollars were converted to gold bullion and sent the French navy across the Atlantic to hand over dollars and pick up gold bullion in exchange. In 1965 alone, the French navy ferried back over $150 million of gold bullion thereby increasing the proportion of French national reserves held in gold from 71.4% to 91.9%.

Due to inflationary pressures on the US $ as a result of printing $ and foriegn borrowing to fund the Indo China war on August 15, 1971, President Nixon imposed a 90-day wage and price freeze, a 10 percent import surcharge, and, most importantly, “closed the gold window”, ending convertibility between US dollars and gold.

A Trillion dollars

OMG !!

Rooted

Surely the if the President was being truthful he should have said "All of us in America are rooted"

America's Impending Master Class Dictatorship

Extract from an execellent article by Stewart Dougherty. Great summary of how govt.s can determine the value of "money" at a whim.

On Sunday night, November 30, 2009, North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Il (a name that says it all, even better than Made-off’s), an international poster child of Master Class psychological illness, devalued his country’s currency by 99%. This vicious tyrant, who has given birth to a national hell on earth, is chauffeured in Mercedes Benz limousines, drinks the finest imported whiskies and dines in imperial dignity on foods prepared by personal chefs while his citizens starve to death on the streets or, at best, eke out a subsistence living. Kim became paranoid that the people were actually figuring out how to improve their pitiful, impoverished lives in tiny ways, so he decided to wipe them out. The people were given one week to exchange their money at a rate of 100 old Won for 1 new Won. Any lifetime family savings in excess of roughly $700.00 were simply confiscated by the North Korean government. To keep the people in line, the military and police were put on high alert, fully prepared to kill or arrest any protesters.

On January 9, 2010, Venezuela’s strong man Hugo Chavez devalued his country’s currency by 50%, overnight and without warning, causing immediate inflation, shortages of food and supplies, and general financial chaos throughout the nation.
