they will hafta pry my one retirement gold eagle from my cold dead hand. wj

You are on a good path now. Keep on keeping on.

…supporting ron Paul in Public than worry about an off the cuff poll…The IRS really doesnt need Ron Paul to win anything…they would have interest in anyone supporting him dont you think..i mean how paranoid should we get?

From a relatively new lurker. 

Who am I.  First of all a great fan of the Tent and all the wonderful posters here.  I,m now retired on the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington State.  Moved here with wife to retire from California.  I’m a new American .  Emigrated from Ireland in the late 50’s.   Spent

four years in the USMC and some time in Korea conflict.  Rest of time mostly sailing with the merchant marine, as AB and Radio officer.  Such a long time ago.  Like the rest of you I cherish ,my American freedom.  So I,m also a great fan of Ron Paul.  Now planning on voting for B. Obama.  Have been following the PMs for a long while.  I got in near the top in 02.  Was already planning on how to spend my cash in the Italian Riviera when it crashed and I got mostly wiped out.  Traded all the wrong way after that, and then swithced to oil and made a bit of a come back.  Now I,ve made the full circle, and I’m again fully loaded in the Pm equities.  Guess you could say I’m a bit of a gambler, but  do like to bet on the Fav, so here

I am.  So many great posters here. So much great info.  The charts by Rambus a re a real treat.  Congrats to Irish , Wanka and all who

helped create this great site.

Was reading some info from Europe, re. the economy .  Can’t post

the url  but here is the address.  Would appreciate anybody’s opinion on it.   http://www.europe2020.org/spip.php?article511&lang=en

needless to say, I’m very interested on whats going to happen to our/the economy and the PM,s in the comiing months

i looked for the irs one and its gone. do you have a time? thanks.wj

Yes…the one in which I questioned the wisdom of a poll on the internet which would disclose an individual’s assets…reportable or non…on the internet.

what did the post say? perhaps the poster edited it out on a second thought? was it the irs one? wj

Given what we know…and aware of what one might suspect…do you think it is a good idea to disclose the percentage of assets held in reportable and non reportable category on the internet?

well … LOL… my mind is not in top shape.. it is wondering …

a tongue in cheek,,,, very good

Well the time will be soon, they may be preparing you already. Don’t know where you are right now. May be one last chance for a bite of food. If past that time don’t chance it.

Pretty soon it will be over, and you will be able to climb back in your own warm bed, next to your loving wife, free from all this pain. For that, it is worth the journey, yes I think it is. You are not alone in this journey. Your family, your friends will be with you.  God bless.

had to remove the gun rack. they got outlawed. the dirt here is red but the truck gets washed EVERY time it rains. granted, it was a long dry spell but the recent rains have helped a little if i can stay off the dirt roads. …if i could just teach that damn dog to wipe her feet before she jumps in…

i have to have one vehicle that i can still work on. how else can i justify to my wife the four parts pickups jacked up on the farm next to old tractors and combines? have to have someplace to hide the still. will have to stop brewin if the price of corn doesn’t go down. might have to ask aggie if he knows someone with a “special” patch of corn in an isolated area. inflation is REALLY wreaking havoc on my “entertainment”.

my family has threatened, cajoled and exerted other pressures to get me to buy a new truck. my wife even offered to pay. the beggars at the intersections with the signs totally ignore me. i can make a left turn in front of every mercedes and bmw. why would i even want a new truck? my advancing age, declining health, and the flow through ventilation of the old truck may force me to capitulate soon. maybe irish needs a truck in belize.

At present, Altius has monetized most of the shares of Aurora and now holds 9.9%, as well as retaining a 2% gross uranium sales royalty and a 2% net smelter royalty on base and precious metals.  The company has several other potential money-makers not mentioned, including a stake in a hydroelectric power project which may see progress soon. One of my favorite companies.

this has been going on since chicago rigged the kennedy election 1960… so what else is new …

There was a crooked man,
And he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat,
Which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together
In a crooked little house

Thank you on the LCM I have asked the owner for a price. All we need is SGT. Striker to pilot it to the beach.

Thanks for revealing, the tough questions, …..for giving me reason to ponder. To think.

Thanks for all the views expressed, postions defended, written stands taken.

It is not required that we always, agree. 100 Per Cent, on anything. What I think, and humbly so, is that the questions and views are raised, and that we must after considering such information, chose our own path. Yep.

I can only hope, when inquired one day by those that follow, …..I can only hope to say, I wish I had understood more sooner. I wish, there had been more ‘ounces’, left behind. Ounces, and bushels, and number of canned goods on the pantry shelf. Funny, how I now measure ‘wealth’. With age comes understanding, or not? Faith? Believing in things not yet seen?

Best, Farmboy, who often lacks faith, but am thankfull, that many others have are leaving a trail to follow. Writings of old, and some not so old….(Jim Sinclair). Farmboy, thankful tonight, that others much wiser, smarter, than I, are ‘marking the trail’. Farmboy who thinks, it a wise thing to have ‘faith’ in Gold and Silver with its 5,000 yr history of protecting wealth, Vs….this weeks ‘Hot Tip’ from Fall St. Ounces Vs…..this weeks paper game? Pretty sure I can figure out which ‘Team’ wins in that contest. (grin)
