I just got a "conversion call"...
I just got a call today from a friend who is a portfolio manager for an insurance company in Indianapolis.
He's a very affluent, very comfortable, and very insulated from main street USA. He has a 40 hour a week housekeeper, and they have a cook come in 2,3, evenings a week.
He lives in the gated community full of Mercedes, BMW's, Lexus's, and shiny new SUV's.
This guy has his breakfast served to him each morning by his housekeeper on a freekin' doily.
....a doily!
I'm not even sure how you spell "doily"? It's one of those fancy-schmancy, French foo-foo paper napkins.
What the @#$%?
I don't care how much money I have... Number one, I don't want anyone other than my immediate family in my damn house at 7 a.m., or for at least an hour after my coffee has kicked in.
Number two, I ain't EVER going to eat my damn breakfast on a doily.
I'd change my name to Pierre, before I ever even allow a doily in my house.
Where do even buy the damn things?
The guy hires someone to change his damn light bulbs.
Anyway, he's a good friend and I'm kind of making fun of him here, but the point is that this guy is soooo insulated to what's going on, that he's numb.
A while back I got him to actually go see the infamous FEMA camp in Beech Grove, In. (see below)

And that actually raised an eyebrow and opened his mind a bit.
Especially after Indianapolis had a week long "Urban Warfare Training Drill."

We talk about once a week. Maybe a little more lately, since the insurance industry has taken some hits along with the banks. And he holds a lot of gold stocks in his personal accounts, so we always talk about that.
So this morning he calls me...
They activated "Homeland Security" this morning in Indianapolis, In. and had the Hummer's out on patrol downtown, in Carmel, and on 465.
This was for a nasty winter snow storm. A lot of snow, but nothing that doesn't happen every winter.
Nothing catastrophic, but yet they're almost acting like it's a "Katrina" event, and announcing it through the media as a "Level III FEMA/Homeland Security Alert".
He said "the bulb" went on for him this morning because of the way that Homeland Security, FEMA, and "troops" on the streets are being shoved down their throats in his area.
His main takeaway about this over-blown "Level III Homeland Security Alert" this morning was this...
"This is blatant pre-conditioning of the public."
We talked about the new "Homeland Security" TV show, the week long "Urban Warfare Training" exercise they had in Indy, the National Guard now being used with police at DUI & Traffic check points, and them using full battle gear Hummers at "toys for tots" events etc.
They are conditioning us to the integration of the military and Homeland Security, with local police, in normal every day settings.
This, along with the new FEMA Camp bill introduced to Congress last week, as well as a rush of anti-gun propaganda, like Mexico's Ambassador to the US blaming the Narco-State collapse of Mexico's government on US "guns."
And that takes me to our next heads up:
Obama & Emanuel are gun haters and are pushing a wave of new guns laws, taxes on ammo, and licensing/registration requirements.

Here's the main one, it's House Bill HR #45. You can read it here:
thomas.loc.gov
From Gun Owners of America website, this summary:
H.R. 45: This bill would require a license for handguns and semiautomatics, including those currently possessed.
The applicant must be thumb printed and sign a certification that, effectively, the firearm will not be kept in a place where it would be available for the defense of the gun owner’s family.
The applicant must also make available ALL of his psychiatric (Medical)records, pass an exam, and pay a fee of up to $25. The license may be renewed after five years and may be revoked. Private sales would be outlawed, and reports to the attorney general of all transactions would be required, even when, as the bill allows, the AG determines that a state licensing system is sufficiently draconian to substitute for the federal license.
With virtually no exceptions, ALL firearms transactions (involving semiautos, handguns, long guns, etc.) would be subject to a Brady check.
In addition, the bill would make it unlawful in nearly all cases to keep any loaded firearm for self-defense.
A variety of “crimes by omission” (such as failure to report certain things) would be created. Criminal penalties of up to ten years and almost unlimited regulatory and inspection authority would be established.

There's one reason that America has never been invaded by a foreign force.
A free and armed populace.
"You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." -- Japanese Admiral Yamamoto (World War II)
Obama just met with the Mexican President, and then we get the Mexican Ambassador to the US pop up on the National News calling for new US gun laws, and blaming the collapse of Mexico's government into a "Narco State" on "American Gun Laws!"
And now HR 45, and a slate of new gun laws, and taxes are coming right behind it.
Buckle up people.
-- Patriot Act -- Executive Orders -- Gitmo and Guantanamo torture camps -- Domestic FEMA Prison Camps for US Citizens + NEW legislation for more! -- Constitution Free Zone Check Points -- Congress Threatened with Martial Law -- Trillions in Bailouts for Bankers -- Homeland Security Alerts for Snow Storms. -- Media Propaganda Blitz for Gun Seizures
Does anyone else feel like a @#$ %$@#^$ Frog getting boiled?
I can't say it better than this...
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
As I mentioned yesterday, I have a feeling that the IMF's Financial Sector Assessment Program/(FSAP)Audit that Bush only submitted to, on the condition that the results wouldn't be released until after he left office (and high- tails it to his ranch in Paraguay)... is possibly what this is all related to.

I think the IMF and the G-20 know the US Financial System is broken beyond bailout, or repair. And I think they're going to use this crisis as the opportunity to create a crisis (Great Depression II) to where the people will cry out for a solution... just as Kissinger & the CFR wrote in their position papers for the North American Union and currency conversion to the IMF based "Amero."
I think that is what's coming. I think that is the "event" that Joe Biden and Colin Powell warned the public that Obama would have to face.
And Obama has said that there would be a very big change, that would be very unpopular, but would be for the good of the country in the long run.
Banks are being told -- NOT to lend. They are hoarding capital.
A depression is being created, and the US financial system is being taken down in an orderly fashion.
And did you see the news today on the worlds "new" richest man, Mexico's Carlos Slim, saying that he now wants to buy a "North American Gold, or Silver Miner?"
Ya' think ole'Carlos might know what's coming down the pike?
Are the pixels starting to form a picture people?
When a liberal Jewish, feminist writer like Naomi Wolfe and an Islamic extremist Black separatist preacher like Farrakhan are on the same page...
And when Keith Olberman and Ron Paul suddenly find themselves fighting the same fight...
Maybe, just maybe, it's time to wake up.
And don't think it can't happen here.
Because it already is...
"They" no longer need a warrant, they no longer need probable cause, and they are building digital data-mining files on politicians, the press, and the populace.
We're only a couple of jack boot moves away from living in East Germany right now.
Who would ever believe that we'd just rollover and accept the Patriot Act and George W. Bush's Executive Orders which suspended the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The "chatter" level is off the charts people.
New legislation to build more "Command & Control" FEMA domestic prison camps?
A big propaganda push against guns, plus new legislation and taxes right behind it.
And a "Bad Bank" & Stimulus plan that isn't going to do anything other than make big government - bigger, and further take down the US economy.
Sen. Chuck Schumer said that they now believe that the Banks may need as much as another $4 Trillion dollars to re-capitalize.
ANOTHER - $4 TRILLION!
...and you wonder why Carlos Slim wants to buy a gold mine?!?!
Still in denial, because it can't happen here?
It already did...

And if we rolled over and accepted that, why not this?

S.O.T.B.
PS: We got a nice turn in the gold stocks today. MFN has been a great trader for me, and got another dip this morning. I also grabbed a little GG, but my main buy was in NEM. It's really been lagging and I like it here relative to the sector. I also bought some Calpine/CPN as it's really cheap here, and it's also been a great channel trader. It some a big buy on the close here as well.
Probably should have bought more gold stocks, but I've sold some puts the last couple days and got a nice chunk of NEM today.
We'll see if we can push through HUI 320 and then 350.
We already have a gold price supportive of HUI 400+, so sans any collapse of the broad market, things look pretty good here.
But, remember... they won't let you bring your gold with you to the FEMA camps.
You can't deny what's already happened with the Patriot Act, and Bush's Executive Orders. This new FEMA "Domestic Prison Camp" legislation, and the propaganda push for new gun laws and bans would have had our forefathers marching in the streets.
Hit your Congressmen & Senators NOW on this gun propaganda push.
Pre-emptively strike against this and do it NOW!
I don't care if you own a gun, or not. And it's cool if you don't. But, you all need to be aware that "guns" are the maginot line of freedom, and it's the last major obstacle in the path of total fascism.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson
And for the pacifists...
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.
If we want the Arms Act to be repealed, if we want to learn the use of arms, here is a golden opportunity. If the middle classes render voluntary help to Government in the hour of its trial, distrust will disappear and the ban on possessing arms will be withdrawn." -- Gandhi
"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." -- The Dalai Lama |
