Ah yes, never mind about Libya.

yeah, maybe Egypt should be taken off that list.  but my point still stands.  if you can create instability in the Middle East, you can prolong the petrodollar.

Since when did anyone intervene in Libya or Egypt? Huh

I think that the US (and most everyone else) got caught flat-footed in Egypt.  We didn't know whether to shit or go blind for a week or two, and then it was to late to help Mubarak who we would have preferred to remain in power.  My read is that it was mainly an organic revolution, and one of the few in recent times.

In Libya we absolutely sent in the al-Qaeda mercenaries as well as taking other actions like participating in an implementation of a no-fly zone and very bravely programming and launching cruise missiles from our floating fortresses.

As in Syria, the 'social media footage' was professionally organized and abundant in Libya which serves as one of my best markers for a planned and assisted overthrow operation these days.  There were an impressive number of fatal head shots published.  How many of these were a result of Gaddafi's native troops, Gaddafi's mercenaries, or our own mercenaries was not easy to determine, but it was clear that there were professionals on the ground and plenty of them.

The most interesting fall-out from Libya is that the Russians and Chinese where completely chumped by the West in UN related machinations.  They are not making that mistake again.

cypher, did you have a big short position on the gold?

I gave up shorting it a while ago.. now I just do neutral positions

edit: sorry, misread.. changed S&P into gold

no, thank goodness. i've been flat ever since i covered my short way back on June 28.

actually, i was long GDXJ from June 28 up to late July  to catch that small bounce.  since then, totally flat.

today's whole FOMC exercise is the #1 reason why a centrally planned printing press favors those who control it.

i guarantee you someone other than just Ben knew ahead of time what the decision was going to be.  which is precisely why the gold market popped a full 3 min before the announcement.

if there was ever a time and need for a "fair" money...

+1. If only the majority of people would see as clearly as you do. But they are so encumbered with deciding wether they should vote left or right in failed represantative so-called democracies, if even that. Or watching TV more likely...

We're being raped back and front, drawn into wars, deprived of our chances to prosperity,... our children fodder for the gods and most don't even notice this shit is going on.

It's truly sickening.

yes.  i think the strategy of TPTB is to create instability @ all levels, both financial and geopolitical to prevent organization against their objectives.  

just look @ Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and now Syria.  all much more of a mess than before intervention.

Bitcoin fosters stability through a stable or fixed money supply.  it's pretty clear.

2pm EST

Proof?  Timestamp or something?

Not doubting you at all by the way.  I would just love to silence people who think the notes were 'leaked early to teh evil banksters' if the evidence showed that they were actually public a few minutes earlier.

:-) I was sure. Sooner or latter $$$ have to be printing.

Note it was trending since noon... someone knew but was playing it cool?  Then panic buy?


That was no panic buy.

That was a "I know what's gonna happen" buy.

By panic buy I mean "I'm KNOW I'm supposed to wait until 1 second after the announcement but what if someone scoops me!
