Been speed reading through some posts this evening. (SOP) Standard Operating Prodcedured of late. Home phone ‘disconnected’…access to internet…well….LOL…a man must know when to improvise. (grin)

Want to send you this message tonight. Want you to know….encourage you to hang in. Get the Flinttones off and running…make it happen buddy, turn it into success.

Figure it this way, on a broad scale. Seems Ron Paul turned in 3-5 percent of the vote. Dissappointed am I…you betecha. But then…the numbers seem to resolve, back up, some other numbers. Figure, some 3-5 percent of Americans know, willing to vote, for a man who wishes to return to the Constitution. Figure, some 3-5 percent, of Americans actually own any gold or silver. Figure….the figures…..are all coming in to say the same thing. And that ‘thing’ IS….95-97 percent of Americans have niether a clue, or simpliest understanding,….of what is happening to this Country. Wish I could say I was surprised. ??

Dont know what you have been facing, having to deal with in Belize local terms. ??? But think, that whatever the obstacles that at present seem to face you….can be overcome. Otherwise, twenty five years of operating in Central America….will only show that I know nothing. ?? (grin)

Never once, did I remember telling you it would be ‘easy’. Does seem though, that you have figured a few things out, ways around…ways to overcome. ??

Perhaps tonight, my words/thoughts may not mean much. But, I am telling YOU to press on. Telling you..to keep pushing for the sake of the Flintstones. Telling YOU….Now is not the time to look back. Question. Just keep pushing on with your dreams, and plans. Telling you, something you dont really need to know in your heart….just telling you….carry on.

The days of Freedom for this Country are limited. And NOT All, sleep.

Think best tonight, the Flintstones carry onward with plans. Think, there are some, who will soon follow with larger requests, things on the mind more important, than the tons of sand and gravel?

Sorry, I can not be more direct in this commuciation. You have come this far ‘by faith’, and you are not yet at the end of that journey.

Best, FArmboy. Hugs to Pat BTW. The trials….of this present life….do not compare to the rewards yet to come. ???? Hold the line friend.

my opinion and a couple bucks gets a coffee..

i suspect that a few oz of silver in any shape.. will be just fine .. in wallace idaho .. silver is used in the business as money .. cafes etc,,

did you see that in new york some are taking the euro .. .. so many are getting used to alternative payment options.. and around our border either or is accepted

i went to the chiropractor here in seattle asked him if he would take three silver coins in payment .. deal done lol

….whats his quick bio…?

Do they use Diebold….or….do they use Jungle telegraph to vote..?

I have favored buying silver in 100-ounce bars, or smaller bars, rather than always buying silver one-ounce Maple Leafs,  simply because I pay substantially less per ounce by buying it in bar form.  But in the end, assuming that someday one may wish to part with some silver out of necessity or simple desire, does it really matter the size of denomination in which it was purchased because even if one bought it via the expensive-per-ounce route (one-ounce silver coins) should’nt it yield a comparable return between date of purchase and date of sale as one would expect that  a less-expensive-per-ounce bar would yield between date of purchase  and date of sale?  Would appreciate you opinion.  Equiz.

the best fractional is a bag of junk silver which generally sells for around spot. for fractional gold do soverigns which carry a very small premiun on the ounce [basicly 4 sovs] last quote from my supplier was $1.50 over spot which is effectivly 6 bucks per ounce. forget the 1/20s and such and huge premiums. bah humbug just call me scrooge wanka the ghost of premiums past present and future.wj

I like the idea of a 1-20th ounce. The question is, Why is the premium so high….why ..why. About right now nothing. Absolutely nothing shocks me any more. Keep the thinking cap on buddy. But make friends with somebody that has a good boat. I am running into some strange anomolies down here that are wrapped into some stranger stories. I hope it all goes away somehow… but …… stay strong my friend

its times like these or anytime for that matter when ’skype’ is a really big time communication tool. the video isn’t as important as the audio so listen to your big brother and say 3 times ’skype’ ’skype’ ’skype’. wj

ps: i called your cell and left message. cheers.j

gold coin for possible future barter purposes.  I have sometimes wondered about the idea of having a collection of  currently issued gold coins in denominations less than one ounce each.  But I have always quickly dismissed the idea as a not very cost effective  way to accumulate gold for possible future use in bartering, simply because it so expensive, on a per ounce basis, to buy gold in such small denominations.  As you will note in the link below, today’s price for a 1/20 ounce Maple leaf is $68.75 Canadian dollars which, multiplied by 20,  is $1375 Canadian dollars per ounce - compared to today’s price of $949 Canadian for a one-ounce Maple leaf.  I guess one must be prepared to pay quite a premium for the  fungibility of small-size gold coinage. 

 But then I suppose one could argue that all coinage sizes will rise in unison and in the same proportions as the price of gold goes up, so maybe in the end  it doesnt matter if the small coins seem  expensive per ounce when you buy them today  because they will also sell in the future at quite a premium  compared to gold in one-ounce coinage.   Do you think I am right in assuming that maybe it doesnt matter what size of gold coin one accumulates, even if the small denominations (under one ounce of gold in each coin) seem an expensive way to accumulate ounces of gold, especially if one considers the value of having some small gold coins for the sake of easier fungibility?  Would appreciate comments on this question. 

Best wishes.  Equiz.

Everything is going along just fine. Landing Zone Bravo is about cleared. Thanks for your intelligent input. Like I have said over and over…. What an outfit.
I have a dream of getting Ment and Deadeye together in a room by the sea and listening to them for about 12 hours straight.

We have plans that have fallen into place, but they must be discussed at get togethers. My only fear is that we are plain running out of time. And I just don’t know what to do about it. Or what to say.
p.s One contact I have made has 2,000 acres by Belmopan and will teach us and develop it to 4000 acres. White corn yellow corn beans and soy..I will be with him at the victory party Thurs or Fri. if the votes from far out precincts are late. My call..U.D.P 21 to 23 chairs P.U.P 8 to 10 chairs. Barrow as new Prime Minister
Pray for this one, baby.

Weigh between a quarter and half a gram.  Back to the gold rush days of little scales at the shops.  And a beaker of acid to test them!
