ALERT! BANK HOLIDAY COMING!!!

From today's JSMINETSET.COM Jim Sinclair’s Commentary I have the deepest respect for Dean Harry, but would normally not believe the potential for what dear Harry proposes. However, with the present war between politically directed monetary policy and FOMC directed monetary policy I have to suggest serious consideration of the following. There certainly is no harm to be done by doing what Dean Harry suggests. Harry Schultz newsletter Conclusion: Stand by for a possible bank run & bank holiday on Aug 26th, after the news breaks on the 25th. (FDIC 2nd Qtr. Report) This is in line with the HSL prediction of a US bank holiday in Aug/Sept. If you live in the US, get 3 to 6 months household expense money out of banks now.

HAHAHA

The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person. ~ P. J. O'Rourke

Skip the Happy Talk This Depression Is Just Beginning By Mike Whitney How many hundreds of banks are being kept on life-support because the FDIC is down to its last few farthings and doesn't want to ignite a panic? http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23182.htm

A QUOTE TO REMEMBER

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may: Mark Twain

YOU LIKE THE COPS? I DON'T

Go On, Admit It You Really Don't Like The Police, Either By Ted Rall Race long has been a classic predictor of attitudes toward the police. But high-profile cases of police brutality, coupled with over-the-top security measures taken since 9/11 that targeted whites as well as blacks, have helped bring the races together in their contempt for the police. In 1969, the Harris poll found that only 19 percent of whites thought cops discriminated against blacks. Now, 54 percent of whites think so. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23171.htm
