We are above the all time low in silver, & on the way back up IMHO. All we need is a Gore win & requirements for silver based solder in all electronics & silver filled auto glass to reduce auto a/c - both of which he has already called for - & we have the rally of history. see, hope for the best(bush) bet some for the worst(gore).

Wow, big day, another doom & gloom report: Iran calls for attacks on Israel Special to World Tribune.com MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE Thursday, October 5, 2000 NICOSIA — Iran continues to call for an intensification of attacks on Israel. Iranian leaders have urged Hamas to attack Israeli targets both in the Palestinian territories as well as inside the Jewish state. "The only solution to the current conflict is to continue the holy war against the enemies of Islam, and that will not stop," Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei told Hamas leaders in Tehran. "The uprising continues. It will not stop at anything -- not at threats, not at bullets." Later, Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal called for strikes against Israeli interests abroad. "Before the 1987 uprising, Israel would not even recognize the Palestinian nation," Mashaal said. "This shows we have no option but armed struggle. Lebanon was not liberated from Israeli occupation by negotiations but by war." Militants close to Khamenei have urged the Palestinians and their supporters to adopt the Hizbullah guerrilla tactics that they said led to the May 24 Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. "Yesterday, it was Lebanon's turn. Today it is that of the resistant Palestinian nation," a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Republican Guard said. In Beirut, Palestinian and Shi'ite leaders met to plan strategy amid the miniwar in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The meeting was headed by Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine-General Command leader Ahmed Jibril. "We discussed ways to support and help the Palestinian people in their intifadah and in their confrontation with the Zionist instrument of destruction, savagery, and murder," Jibril said. "We are sure that our brothers in Hizbullah represent an important backing for the causes of Palestine, Jerusalem, and the Al Aksa mosque." On Wednesday, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was quoted as urging Arab neighbors of Israel to allow him to destroy the Jewish state. Saddam told a delegation of Iraqi academics that his forces could destroy Israel in a short period of time. "Let them [Arab leaders] just give us a piece of land near Israel, stay away and support us," Saddam was quoted as saying. "And they will see how we will put an end to Zionism."

Doom & Gloom Report: THIRD BIOLOGICAL ATTACK IN AUSTIN Posted By: Rayelan Date: Friday, 20 October 2000, 10:31 p.m. Worldwide Newslink Exclusive worldwidenewslink Bio-Terrorism in Austin, Texas? by Mack White This morning, for the third time this week, a possible biological attack occurred in Austin, Texas. Emergency workers were again called to a Department of Public Safety (DPS) building in North Austin after several persons complained of chest pain, sore throat, headache, and nausea. At last report, four persons were hospitalized. In yesterday's incident, 19 persons were hospitalized, and 160 treated at the scene. Yesterday, a live local tv newscast from DPS was disrupted by radio talk show host Alex Jones. Using a bullhorn, he accused the government of contriving these incidents to bring about more federal control. "This is psychological warfare," he said. The apparent biological attacks began Monday, when University of Texas police officer Tom Owens stopped a Pontiac Grand Prix with diplomatic license plates at the intersection of 15th and Lamar. This intersection is at least ten minutes' drive from the UT Austin campus. Three other UT officers (including Chief Jeff Van Slyke) were also on the scene, along with an Austin Community College officer. News reports have not made it clear when these other officers arrived on the scene, or why there were no Austin Police Department officers on the scene. Owens claimed he stopped the car because the plates were expired. However, this later proved not to be the case. While searching the trunk of the vehicle, Owens went into a seizure. The four other officers became sick with headache, nausea, and sore throat. Owens was hospitalized; the others treated and released. A Channel 8 news reporter broadcasting live from the scene said she and others experienced the same symptoms when they first arrived. The Hazardous Materials Unit was called to the scene, then Lamar Street was shut down for several blocks. Two large blue tents were set up on the street, and men in protective suits worked for three hours. Then, when it was all over, the authorities announced that no substance had been found, and that Owens' symptoms were due to a pre-existing medical condition. However, nothing was said about the symptoms experienced by the other persons. The young man who had been driving the car was handcuffed, taken to jail, and later released. Police would not release his identity or nationality. However, two sources have informed this writer he was Sudanese. A photograph of a policeman holding the diplomatic license plates appeared in an Austin American-Statesman photograph. The last four figures on the plate are clear in the photograph; however, the first two are partially obscured. It may be safely concluded that the license plate is one of the following: 028-KXD, Q28-KXD, 078-KXD, Q78-KXD.
