"Left every hope entered you ch'" . John, That language translation is a little choppy, but we all know a change is happening, The Bubble of Fiat & Credit & Derivatives has expanded and reached a size unknowned to be possible as existance to remain on planet Earth, such that The Devil's Due is due for an oil change of sorts, as these new bubbles arrived at those gates of hell, they were sucked in as The Devil's Due, as expected, but the Devil mis-calculated and did not allocate enough room in hell to contain both the gold and this extra large and not expected bubble, so yes the gold has been pushed out and is now exiting the gates of hell as the bubble enters hell. Not in those plans of The Devil's Due, and yes the devil is now doing all he can to prevent a return to earth from hell, the golden rule. . Forget any analogy of a compressed spring being let loose, as when this gold finally is released it will be both a golden day for us gold bugs, but like a messy fart that includes some loose liquid, it will be a bad day over all, especially those only with paper vehicles, as it will be like wiping a mess with hundred dollar bills, once used, will be unuseable and deemed proper to be flushed as soon as possible with hope them gold bricks stored in the tank to lessen water usage are still there. .

SF Gate French have snatched Davis' bragging rights State has slipped from 5th largest economy to 6th John Wildermuth, Chronicle Political Writer Friday, September 20, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gov. Gray Davis' proud boast that California has become the world's fifth-largest economy during his three years in office has run afoul of the changing financial picture. A report released this week by the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation found that France has squeaked by the state in inflation adjusted gross product, dropping California to the sixth spot worldwide in 2001. "When we looked at the latest revised numbers, California's not number five, " said economist Jack Kyser, one of the authors of the report. "The state's now more like number 5 1/4." The difference in gross product isn't much -- $1.310 trillion for France to $1.309 trillion for California -- but it's enough to create potential headaches for the governor's re-election campaign. California's international ranking is a regular part of Davis' campaign ads and speeches. A television spot now running across the state opens with pictures of freighters moving out of port as an announcer assures viewers that "Over the last three years, California has grown from the seventh- to the fifth-largest economy in the world." Davis also uses the figure in almost every speech he makes as an example of the economic progress California has made while he has been governor. He often includes an anecdote about a meeting in which he told British Prime Minister Tony Blair, head of world's fourth-largest economy: "You're next." Republican Bill Simon, who's challenging Davis in the governor's race, already is having some fun with the new numbers. Davis has been happy to talk about California's economy surging past France and Italy (cont) sfgate.com
