| Doc Eifrig: How to avoid invasive TSA screenings and pat-downs the next time you travel Posted: 18 Dec 2012 12:16 PM PST From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire: The federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) changed passenger-screening policies in 2010. From then on, travelers were forced to submit to irradiating "full body scanners" that amount to a virtual strip search. These machines are so invasive, they were even held up for a time in the United Kingdom... The graphic images they provided violated the UK's child pornography laws. And this doesn't even count the machines' harmful health effects. If you're traveling through an airport and want to avoid the radiation exposure and the dehumanizing search, you can "opt out." In this case, you must endure an invasive "pat down" search, where a TSA screener lays hands all over your body. It's hard to believe these degradations now happen in "the land of the free." But there is a solution... The TSA has initiated a "trusted traveler" program. It's called "TSA Pre-check." Travelers who enroll in the program must undergo a background check and pay a $100 fee. The background check lasts for five years. After approval, Pre-check travelers can go through expedited screening lines about 80% of the time. These lines somewhat mimic the bygone days of air travel, including: &iddot; Keeping shoes, belts, and light jackets on &iddot; Leaving laptops and toiletry bags in carryon items &iddot; Greatly reduced time in line (a recent Minneapolis screening took about 30 seconds) &iddot; Not every airport and every airline is a part of the program, but the number is growing. By the end of 2012, six airlines and 35 airports will participate in the program. Further expansion will happen throughout 2013. Pre-check is not open to all passengers yet... but there is a "back door" way into the program. Travelers enrolled in the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) program called "Global Entry" are eligible for Pre-check. In fact, I've just recommended my brother and sister take advantage of this. You can learn more about both programs at http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-pre%E2%9C%93%E2%84%A2/tsa-pre-check-TM-participation. Participating in the Pre-check program is not a perfect solution. The TSA can still subject you to radiation scanning and/or pat downs. But your odds of having a simple travel experience are improved. For some, this is well worth the background check and application fee. Crux Note: Doc Eifrig's recent silver report has created a big stir. Surprised readers are saying things like "Doc, you're a genius! I never thought this would work. But it did!" Click here to find out why they're so excited... More from Doc Eifrig:       |
| Anglo Pacific inks $15m gold royalty deal with Hummingbird Posted: 18 Dec 2012 11:56 AM PST Anglo Pacific has signed a royalty financing agreement with Hummingbird to pay the explorer $15 million in exchange for a 2% return royalty on any gold ore produced from the latter's Dugbe project in Liberia. |
| Paper-Gold Fraud Now Out In The Open Posted: 18 Dec 2012 11:11 AM PST How do you "stretch" an ounce of gold? Obviously if you want an answer to that question you ask the bankers. Bankers have earned their generalized contempt in our societies, going back literally thousands of years. Formerly known as the "money-changers", their Original Sin is well-known to anyone who has studied the history of these professional thieves. As money-changers, they would graciously offer to "hold" peoples' (heavy, bulky) gold for them; and exchange that for their convenient, light-as-a-feather "gold certificates." Always the banksters would end up issuing far more certificates for gold than they actually had the gold to cover – and "fractional-reserve banking" was invented. Eventually the insatiable greed of the banker would result in him issuing such an enormous surplus of "gold certificates" versus the actual gold he held that this money-dilution would be noticed by the general population. The bankers' gold-scam would then quickly collapse and vast numbers of ordinary people would be wiped out (and so "capital punishment" was invented). Thus ask a bankster how to stretch an ounce of gold, and (for thousands of years) his answer would be automatic: sell "paper gold." Flash-forward two thousand years or so, and we see the banksters looking to fall back on their oldest crime to attempt to wallpaper over some of their newer ones. We have a huge gold deficit (and silver deficit, as well) in the world today. New, incremental demand for gold grossly exceeds annual incremental mine-supply. This has become a permanent deficit, which by itself is absolute proof of market-manipulation. The virtues of (actual) "free markets" are well-known to anyone familiar with basic market dynamics: they self-correct. If supply exceeds demand, the price falls to a sufficient level to discourage more supply and encourage more demand – until those simultaneous dynamics achieve equilibrium: supply and demand matching, with prices stable. Conversely, where demand exceeds supply; prices must rise sufficiently so that more supply is encouraged and more demand is discouraged, until once again equilibrium is achieved. Thus a permanent supply-deficit is ipso facto proof of price-suppression. The problem with the price-suppression of any kind of physical "good" is always the same, one inevitably runs out of inventory as the repressed supply and excessive demand caused by artificially low prices means that buyers will always outnumber sellers. In the case of the banksters' perennial gold-suppression scheme; their supply-deficit dilemma has caused them to recently focus on one target: the population of India. As the world's most consistently voracious consumers of gold, permanently under-pricing gold has caused a predictable effect. There is a large "gold deficit" in India, as India must import vast quantities of gold each year to satisfy the excessive demand for gold caused by selling it at give-away prices. As is generally the case, the Corporate Media has totally perverted its own explanation of this scenario. India's large gold-deficit is being called a "current account deficit" – i.e. a paper deficit. This is absurd on multiple levels. |

| Gold Resource Corporation: A Potential Double From Here Posted: 18 Dec 2012 10:10 AM PST By Dave Kranzler: In my last article, I explained why I thought the Basel III Agreement would be one of the fundamental catalysts that will push the price of gold a lot higher. There are a lot of ways to take advantage of this, but one of the best ways is to buy into undervalued stocks in an investment sector that has just been through a severe price/valuation correction. I have some key fundamentals factors I use in assessing whether or not to invest in a mining stock: the company must be operating in a politically "safe" country (relatively, that is); management should have a meaningful ownership of the stock; with smaller companies, there should be a larger mining company with a strategic ownership interest (potential funding source and investor exit strategy); the company should have a strategy for increasing its resource base in excess and of what is being produced; Complete Story » |
| That's Not What The End Of The Gold Bull Market Would Look Like Posted: 18 Dec 2012 10:06 AM PST  By Tim Iacono: Since the gold price failed to advance after the Federal Reserve's latest stimulus measure last week, that is, the one where the central bank raised its open-ended money printing effort to a cool $1 trillion per year, an increasing number of calls have been heard with the same refrain - the secular gold bull market is over. Earlier in the month, it was investment bank Goldman Sachs who said that prices may rise back up above $1,800 an ounce next year but that last year's high at just over $1,900 an ounce or a similar high next year will go down in the history books as the end of the long-running bull market. Just today, Saxo Bank came out with a rather outrageous prediction for the New Year - not only might the oil price drop to $50 a barrel, but gold might tumble to as low Complete Story » |
| A Looming Financial Meltdown: Just Who Is First, The Euro Area Or The U.S.? Posted: 18 Dec 2012 09:51 AM PST By Once again the global, and above all the US, financial markets have steered to the brink of an economic meltdown of unprecedented magnitude. The following preconditions have led up to the current environment: very loose monetary policy and continued accommodation in both the US and the Euro area. Five years into the crisis, politics continue to be one step behind financial markets and thus continue to finance the clearly unsustainable indebted countries such as the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) and the US. Fear of contagion has in Europe so far prevented an uncontrolled default on debt while the US appears to have just inflation left as a last bullet in their policy-gun, in order to escape from the gridlock it finds itself in. The ways out or deeper into the crisis would look like this in Europe, bearing in mind the interdependence with US markets Complete Story » |
| Not All Physical Gold ETFs Are Built The Same Posted: 18 Dec 2012 09:38 AM PST By Hard Assets Investor: This article previously appeared on IndexUniverse.com and is republished here with permission. By Paul Baiocchi With four different ETFs offering physical storage of gold, investors may feel like they are at Best Buy trying to find the best plasma TV. Fortunately, there are some key differences between the funds that will make the decision easy, as long as you care about these distinctions. But if all you care about is investing in gold without having to bury it in your backyard or store it in a safe, the decision is even easier: Buy the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) and use the savings to buy more. The four grantor trust ETFs that hold physical gold differ mostly in their expense ratio and vaulting, with little else differentiating them. After all, gold in Mumbai is the same as gold in Carson City, Nevada. The problem is, some gold investors aren't Complete Story » |

| The Most Important Article for Today Posted: 18 Dec 2012 08:45 AM PST Our daughter and her two girls are coming to stay with us this week through the Holiday Season. We have friends coming to stay with us for New Years Eve too. I will try and publish on a regular basis through the rest of the year, but may very well take a few days off. This time of year not much is happening. The traders are ready to go home on vacation. Anyway, the world is supposed to come to an end on Friday, so just in case the prophecy is right, why worry about next week. Here is the most important article today. It's about Bill Gross, founder and co-CEO of Giant PIMCO. Gross is a member of BARRON'S Roundtable and is highly respected on Wall Street. He is a bondman, and rarely even mentions gold. But in the following short article, Gross says only gold and real assets will thrive in fiscal 'ring of fire.'

| Posted: 18 Dec 2012 07:45 AM PST So here we are. Gold is down about $60 in the last month... $100 off the 6-month high... silver tracking with it. Right now is when we SHOULD be getting an influx of noobs asking about buying in. But, that's not what's going to happen! Instead, it'll be when gold takes a big jump up and the nightly news is buzzing about it. Gold hits $2K? We'll be inundated with excited rookies wanting on the gravy-train. And, of course, many overly enthusiastic GIM-ers will tell them "buy, buy, buy." Let me state for the record, considering the range-bound stagnation we've experienced lately I have no problem encouraging noobs to buy now. But when they show up a few hundred dollars an oz up the road I'll be advising caution. And, I'm not unaware of silver in the equation. But, barring the rare occasion that it separates significantly from gold, silver is not what drives noobs here. Gold gets the attention in the MSM when it pops. Silver is generally a footnote... again, unless a falling GSR makes silver a distinct mover apart from gold. Anyway, come on noobs! Now is the time to be thinking about getting in. If PM's drop you'll already be learning the ropes. If spots are driven through the roof you'll have squandered the chance to be in on the latest ground-floor (regardless of what zealots may tell you then). |

| Posted: 18 Dec 2012 07:01 AM PST I find that number difficult to accept, but WTF do I know.  Gold fever strikes German retail investors Marc Howe | December 16, 2012  Despite the relative health of the German economy compared to its beleaguered Mediterranean peer states in the EU, average Germans are investing in physical gold en masse due to concerns over their fiscal well-being. The Local reports that a new study by the Steinbeis Research Center for Financial Services has discovered that 69% of Germans have invested in gold, with around half of them keeping bullion in their own homes. 48% stash their gold in bank vaults, while 9% sequester their precious metals at the premises of specialized gold traders. The Teutonic enthusiasm for gold is also increasing, with the number of Germans who have a net monthly income in excess of EUD4,000 and express an interest in gold investment having doubled in the current year. On a per capita basis Germans own around 117 grams of gold each, while including gold securities the average German owns around EUD5,750 of gold. Germans currently hold 7% of the world's gold when the gold holdings of the German federal bank are included. The study also found that wealthy Germans prefer to invest in gold bars, while less affluent Germans tend to purchase their bullion in the form of coins. http://www.mining.com/gold-fever-str...ampaign=digest |

| Jim Vieira: Stone Structures & Giants Posted: 18 Dec 2012 04:46 AM PST Greg hunter and Jim Vieira talk with George Noory. from c2cplanet: "There are structures of earth and stone, thousands of years old, in every part of the United States," Vieira marveled. While he has found over 10,000 stone mounds around Massachusetts alone, he lamented that many great works were dismantled during colonial times as settlers used the materials for their roads and bridges. For instance, Vieira cited an archaeologist's report of a 55-foot high stone pyramid in Illinois that had been plundered by colonists, who removed "tens of thousands of cartloads of stone." Regarding giants in America, Vieira explained that, while searching through old town histories in Massachusetts for information on stone structures, he stumbled upon remarkable accounts of anomalous human skeletons being discovered. According to the reports from the time, the skeletons ranged from 7 to 11 feet tall and had skulls which sported double rows of teeth. "There are thousands of these accounts," Vieira said, "by doctors, scientists, anthropologists, archaeologists, farmers and over decades and decades of time all around the country." These skeletons, he added, were often found within the mysterious stone mounds and, sometimes, were sometimes buried amongst great treasures. Vieira attributed the suppression of information on the ancient American giants to the Smithsonian Institute, specially their first director of anthropology Ales Hrdlicka. Described by Vieira as a "pre-Nazi eugenicist," Hrdlicka allegedly censored reports of giants and marginalized them from the historic record in order to depict Native Americans as "unsophisticated and uninspiring." Additionally, Vieira reported that there are many accounts of the Smithsonian traveling around the country to where these anomalous remains were discovered and "taking the giant skeletons away, never to be seen again." Ultimately, he contended that the cover up continues to this day and claimed that a TEDx presentation on his findings was pulled from the Internet because it threatened the scientific orthodoxy. In the first hour, investigative reporter Greg Hunter responded to the British Spectator article calling 2012 the "best year ever." He rejected the article's stance that "the forces of peace, progress and prosperity are prevailing" by declaring that the true winners are "the forces of crime, bailout, and fraud." He credited global quantitative easing for creating the illusion of an economic recovery, noted that the US dollar is being shunned as the world's reserve currency, and added that 1 in 6 Americans are now on food stamps. Looking ahead to 2013, Hunter warned that war with Iran appears imminent which could be a "disaster of world economic proportions." ~TVR |
