Gold updates April 25 2014 --- Is Germany gold sitting in the vaults of some investment bank ( rather than Central Banks who have pledged to safeguard said gold ? ) Or sold off long ao ? whatever the answer is , Germany can't get back what they stored at the Central Banks - and that is a quiet default ! CIBC decides to sell physical gold ! While chinese gold demand has dropped off somewhat , demand to date is 606 tons - Germany can only dream of obtaining back 606 tons in less than 4 four months from either the French or US Central Banks !
http://www.silverdoctors.com/the-high-risk-of-safekeeping-gold-in-a-central-bank-custodial-vault/
*By PM Fund Manager Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:*
Clearly, if the U.S. were “safekeeping” Germany’s gold in a segregated
custodial account, it should have been nearly effortless to ship 300 tonnes
back to Germany via two cargo flights. After all, Venezuela received 160
tonnes of gold in about 4 months from several different Central Bank vault
locations.
As it turns out, GATA.org found a Reuters article yesterday which

Criminal crackpot Cliven Bundy lambasted for failing to use established GOP code words for racist slurs

Never mind.*
*"The reason [Bundy] was embraced by so many on the right is that he was
their kind of people, One of Us. . . ."When conservatives looked at Bundy,
they saw not just a white guy, but also a cowboy, and that particular brand

First Thoughts on Piketty
I have been reading Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century." It is
truly an impressive work, and I am much enjoying it. I have recently

David Weil, Alan Auerbach, and I will be discussing the book, followed by a
response from Professor Piketty.
Let me offer a few immediate reactions.
The book has three main elements:
1. A history of inequality and wealth.
2. A forecast of how things will evolve over the next century
3. Policy recommendations, such as a global tax on wealth.
Point 1 is a sig... more »

Lies, damned lies, and Cardiff University academics
Mark Twain is the likeliest candidate for having coined the killer quote,
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics".
I've always felt that to be deeply unfair to statistics.
Statistics are invaluable. It's how they are used - and misused - that's
the problem.
Think of it this way, if you like. People (though not Mark Twain) sometimes
say, "There's no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner." Well, I'd say
there's no such thing as a bad statistic, just bad users of statistics.

Gualfin, Argentina. "It's called guadeado. You take the whole head...

Will Cliven Bundy Sit Down For An Interview With Rachel Maddow? What If They Allow Him To Bring Sean Hannity Along As A Body Guard?

Senate Decision
The Supreme Court has been surprising me recently.
That said, it seems almost inconceivable that it will approve any material
changes to the Senate without a full constitutional amendment process.
Perhaps they will allow voting to nominate Senators for the Prime
Minister's consideration but even that is doubtful.
So then what?
I cannot imagine this government wants to open the Constitution (maybe I am
wrong here but that's a high risk step) and so,,, Senate reform dies.
Perhaps the best we can hope for is appointments actually made on merit.

2,500kg Trinitrotoluene blows a hole in INS Sindhurakshak's salvage operations
[image: INS Sindhurakshak]INS Sindhurakshak has more than 2,500 kilos of
"unused" Trinitrotoluene(TNT), considered the world's deadliest explosive.
And that is why salvaging the submarine is no easy task.
The Russian-made Kilo class submarine sank at the Mumbai naval dockyard on
August 14 last year, following a series of explosions, claiming the lives
of 18 navy men on board.
At that time, the battle-ready submarine was loaded with at least 16
torpedoes and Klub-S missiles. To be precise, there were six firing tubes

Sweden wants cruise missiles 'for defence'
[image: Taurus KEPD 350]The Swedish government has announced plans to beef
up its defence forces by fitting its fleet of Gripen fighter jets with
long-range cruise missiles.
Defence Minister Karin Enström said the high-precision missiles would
chiefly act as a deterrent to other countries that might be considering an
attack on Sweden.
“They would give new capabilities by offering a longer reach, but also the
ability to fight targets that are further away,” she told Sveriges Radio
(SR) on Thursday.

Army says Apache co-pilot only injury in crash landing
[image: AH-64E Apache]The co-pilot of one of Taiwan's new AH-64E Apache
helicopters was the only one injured when the attack helicopter crashed
into a residential building in Taoyuan County Friday morning during flight

The aircraft had to make a forced landing on top of the three-story
building because of an emergency situation. The Army said it was mostly
intact despite the rough landing, and no other injuries, civilian or
military, had been reported.

Royal Navy warship 'monitoring' Russian naval vessel
[image: Vice Admiral Kulakov]A Royal Navy warship is monitoring the

HMS Dragon, one of the Royal Navy's newest Type 45 destroyers moved into

In what the MoD are calling a "well-established and standard" response, HMS
Dragon will track the Russian vessel as she transits south.

China splurging on military as U.S. pulls back
[image: Jin class SSBN]China’s navy commissioned 17 new warships last year,
the most of any nation. In a little more than a decade, it’s expected to
have three aircraft carriers, giving it more clout than ever in a region of
contested seas and festering territorial disputes.
Those numbers testify to huge increases in defense spending that have
endowed China with the largest military budget behind the United States and
fueled an increasingly large and sophisticated defense industry.
While Beijing still lags far behind the U.S. in both funding and

1. There's what you might call 'political' Post-Marxism. Anyone who's been

nut shell, the class politics Marxism depended on had clearly collapsed by
the end of that decade. Rather than increasing numbers of workers,
capitalism had bequeathed an expanding middle class, a tendency to smaller
workplaces, a consumer culture that eroded traditional senses of
solidarity, and a new politics organised around identity and oppression -

Alas! In emerging pseudo-liberal culture, we *love* to divide ourselves
