"Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) authorities are meeting..." I'm not sure what this is as it seems more of a governmental or political factor that I have heard does affect things as much or more than the actual metals and mining elements. Message from C Hudson at Sep 15, 2001 This is SUPER news for the gold market in general and even more so for MYNG!!!!A MUST READ "Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) authorities are meeting with counterparts across Latin American in an effort to limit the sale of national gold reserves in an effort to stabilize prices. BCV official Laurent Michel is quoted as saying that central bankers gathered at the 4th International Reserves meeting in La Paz (Bolivia) are about to apply a 1999 agreement under which 14 central banks with 47% of the world's official gold reserves will restrict sales to strengthen gold investments and the development of new mining projects in the Latin American region." (Friday, September 14, 2001, vheadline.com (off topic) After boot camp at San Diego during my few weeks training for the recoiless rifle at Camp Pemleton(sic) I tried to have my assignment changed to becoming a sniper but someone felt that my expert shooting score was somehow not for real since i wore thick eye glasses and could not see far away stuff without them, yes but with corrective lenses my vision was better than 20/20. "... in this pursuit? No. You don't send out a herd of elephants to kill a rat. You send a bigger rat. The trick is knowing where to sent him." For sure all the USA special forces units will find "work" as their years and years of training will now switch very quickly and become very real for them all, not just a few "lucky" ones that in past years had to wait for assignments in drug law enforcements activity, now its war and long one. My speculation is that those parents with civilian sons in the draft'able age group will not find any draft of large numbers since this war will be fought as you and others notes on this and other threads, so i do not expect any Vietnam type massive sending of troops anyplace, but only those already trained in the types of limited contact out in the open, and very limited contact out of sight type warriors will be needed. I'm sure many young men will sign up for these special fighting areas that will also include a need and demand for special technical somewhat non combat roles such as always is needed in any war. Again it just my speculation, but i tend to agree that the USA will not occupy any countries in the manner to control their civilian populations, but more of a military presents very tightly located and defended so that military operations can be exercised local inside the nation, meaning to me the USA will not "police" any cities or large towns, but will enter and get done whats needed anytime etc. No draft i see, not even a lottery type used before. The only exception to this may be focused drafting young men and not so young men in their 30s that have a neede skill with the "... nuke, anthrax, a neurotoxic gas ...on Chicago, New York again, San Francisco, Seattle...and then we'll wring our... " skills needed to identify and locate and take out this type both outside and inside the USA. Which if i may spark a little "how" to a "what if." Its a bad way to start an example, and a bad example to use, but those terror attacks against the people of Israel have so far been of bombs and bullets and nails and rocks etc, and not the type of mass destruction vehicles that those who do bomb and shoot also have at their usage, but do not use knowing that once used the state of Israel would counter x1000 etc. But if they did use weapons of mass destruction then they would have knowned that quickly a massive effort x1000 would be taken to take them out totally etc. Yes, and knowing that if they did decide to do it then they would have prepared to fight back in the short time they will have left, as in days and weeks, so they would have collected and readied all the most destructive weapons of mass destruction in a way to be used in the here and now. If those who sent(engineered) those 4 planes knew the targets would be x1000 anything imagined before, then they would have prepared ahead of time the ability to strike back to a massive USA attack on them that would not allow them the time and ability to organize and collect more wapons. If so then here is what i speculate as "as is" or "what is." If the USA federal government announced a war type act, and done totally in the USA the following, - freeze every rent-a-storage in that no one is allowed access to their storage area - anyone at this time at that area will leave without anything taken - needs local Police to simply occupy every storage location which is doable, just closed them down all - each storage "room" is entered a dog sniffs for explosives a meter reads for radiation a meter reads for chemicals a meter reads for biological agents Then i predict that weapons of mass destructions will be found, as they are now in storage waiting for the USA to attack their groups, and once done its the end for them so they will go out using everything that have which is all the weapons they collected and readied in every major usa city location, meaning that to me 95% of these weapons of mass destructions now are stored in these storage locations in a 10 miles distance of the 100 biggest cities in the USA. To me they are ready and armed and once the USA attacks them in the nations where they call home or safe haven, then these few in numbers like 100 people will deliver 100 weapons of mass destruction to the 100 big usa cities the following day. If so then why not have the usa law enfocement folks not do this. No person or religion or etc will be signaled out. Just search every storage locker in a 5-10-50 mile radius of New Yorc City etc. dougak
