There is every reason to suspect that we will endure suicide missions by Islamist sleeper cells. They are already in place. They are waiting for the right time. I know this from experience. I have worked over 15 years as a U.S. Federal Agent, a U.S. State Department Arabic linguist, and the first civilian Federal Agent deployed into Iraq at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Since returning from Iraq I have been involved in terrorism analysis, specifically the mindset of terrorists. During my extensive research on sleeper cells I have talked with hundreds of people from the Middle East from all walks of life, and have talked with Iraqi Government officials, Iraqi military and Iraqi police officers. In addition I have interviewed numerous counter-terrorism specialists in the U.S. and abroad. In 2006 I trained over 4000 U.S. Law Enforcement officers in Basic Investigative Arabic and counter-terrorism. The conclusions of my research lead to the title of this article. Before I departed for the Middle East in 2003 I had been assigned to Kirtland AFB, NM. Kirtland has some of the best scientists in the world working on U.S. Government projects. I had been working closely with these scientists who specialized in nuclear energy, directed energy, laser technology, bio-weapons and more. I fully understand the impact if suicide bombers begin progressing from conventional explosives to unconventional methods. The Middle East In Jan 2003, I was assigned to Arar Air Base Saudi Arabia. Arar is located near the border of Iraq. My mission was to interact with Saudi military officials in order to determine the support we could expect from the Saudi government, to determine if Iraqis were monitoring the activities of the U.S. forces at Arar, and to infiltrate the encampments of the Bedouin community (Saudis and Iraqis living in the desert of Arar). This involved leaving the relatively safe confines of Arar Air Base and driving to the Bedouin camps. It was most important the Saudis did not know we were leaving the compound because they had forbidden us to do so. Four U.S. special Agents would use our ATV's and/or four wheel drive vehicles to conduct these missions. The Saudi Government had active spies collecting information pertaining to our troop strength, our weapons, and any other intelligence they could obtain. The Saudis were providing the intelligence to the Saudi Government, and we were very confident it was also being passed to Iraqi intelligence. During January 2003 and Feb 2003, Saudi Intelligence officers would boast that the American military was overreacting about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. Their bravery changed as we approached the invasion of Iraq in Mar 2003. The high-ranking Saudi officers were scrambling to obtain gas masks and other protective equipment. They knew their equipment was substandard and they wanted U.S.-made protective equipment. We gave them some of ours. The Saudi Intelligence officers were visibly frightened about a potential chemical, biological, or nuclear attack and expressed their fears. While in Iraq we determined the following: 1. Russian activity in Iraq had been rampant several months prior to the war and up until the day before the invasion. 2. Iranians were infiltrating southern Iraq by the thousands and were preparing to assist insurgents in removing U.S. forces from Iraq. 3. We found numerous pieces of evidence indicating WMD were in Iraq before the war began and some were still in Iraq. 4. I and other agents were informed by Iraqis that a civil war would erupt and violence against U.S. forces would increase due to the Iranian and Russian influence. All of this information was provided through intelligence channels, but was ignored. Today we are seeing the results of our intelligence being ignored in 2003. Vulnerability at home Upon returning from Iraq I left Federal Service to pursue a career educating U.S. law enforcement in the U.S. I wrote a book titled "Arabic for law enforcement and military". During my lectures to local, county, and state law enforcement officers it was revealed the true first line defenders in the U.S. are not trained nor prepared to combat terrorism in the U.S. (through no fault of their own). The local law enforcement agencies were not receiving adequate funds or assistance from the Federal Government to fight terrorism. The majority advised they were supposed to be the first line defenders, but in actuality they did not even know what Al-Qaeda meant, and/or could not point out Iraq or Iran on a map. They had no Arabic language training. I began conducting research and talking with experts from various fields and determined three significant facts that I corroborated by further research: 1. The terrorists groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda each had different leaders and to some degree operated in different ways, but they each had the same two goals (destroy Israel and destroy America and any country that supported either). 2. Our nuclear research centers were very vulnerable to an attack and the potential for a suicide bomber using a dirty radiological bomb from these facilities was and is a high probability. Note: Vic Walter and Brian Ross of ABC News did an excellent report on the lack of security at these facilities. I received an enormous amount of information from individuals associated with Russian nuclear programs that there is nuclear material being sold on the black market and nuclear material is in the hands of Islamic Extremists. 3. Terrorist sleeper cells are located primarily in Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Michigan, Florida, California, and Canada. The "sleepers" are prepared to conduct terrorist attacks within the U.S., and nuclear material is available to them. "Prepared" in this instance indicates they have the necessary tools to carry out their attacks and are prepared to die. 4. Non profit organizations such as CAIR, ISNA, MANA, MSA, and several other Islamic based groups are in actuality simply fronts for Al Qaeda and Hamas. The leadership within these groups receives funds and training from the Saudi government. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows these groups to operate freely throughout the U.S. and at American’s taxpayer’s expense. Essentially the IRS grants the groups immunity and the authority to train, organize, and prepare for attacks against our country. Why? Because CAIR and other such groups have a confidential informant network much better than even our FBI. CAIR uses contractors such as Corey Saylor (Simple Resolve Company) to place interns into our elected official’s offices, and into organizations such as the IRS. Terrorist operations are active in the U.S. and are being operated/financed by Al Qaeda throughout the U.S. U.S. citizens need to understand there are people trained and prepared to carry our suicide missions in the U.S. and nothing are off limits. Churches, malls, and even the schools our children attend are not off limits to suicide bombers. It is only a relatively short time before the U.S. will begin seeing suicide terrorist missions. I will continue to research terrorism related issues in the U.S. and Canada and will bring forward the results. Nuclear reactors are located on a large number of major university campuses in the U.S. There locations are not classified and are described on the internet. Children are the ones who suffer in wartime and I want to prevent any child from ever having to experience a terrorist attack. In Feb, 2007, I wrote the above article for ‘American Thinker’. I have updated the information for readers. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.8528,css.print/pub_detail.asp

Silver and gold on a temporary down turn. Silver down to 21-23 and gold 1225 to 1250... then look for a rise when the dollar plunges against the China Yuan... Straight from my online broker informational vmail....

The way to see if someone is not telling the story from a reliable source is best illustratedby Socrates. Three Test: In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three." "Test of Three?" "That's correct," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really..." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher

It’s true, not many others are talking about the coming China revaluation; not many others have connected the dots. That’s chiefly because they simply do not take a global view of today’s world. Those in the U.S. — especially on Wall Street and in Washington — hardly look beyond their own noses. Those in Europe do largely the same. But it’s a big, international world. And yes, when a butterfly flaps its wings in Beijing, the impact can be felt around the world, though again, in ways most analysts and investors can’t even comprehend. The fact of the matter is that we are about to experience the true impact of China’s explosive economic growth, and it isn’t going to be more cheap exports. China is about to export its biggest product yet: INFLATION. Washington wants the U.S. to import some of China’s current high inflation, to kick start our economy and get asset prices rising again. That way, in the minds of Obama, Bernanke, and Geithner — the U.S. will be able to better cope with its massive debt loads, on every level. Asset prices, already being boosted by Bernanke’s money printing, will rise further. The rise in asset prices will bring back some wealth, get U.S. consumers to spend more money, and create more jobs. At least, that’s how those in power view the process. That’s their theory. And I repeat, as I have said all along, it remains to be seen whether or not it will work. But whether it does or doesn’t, the fact of the matter is that it’s happening, and we all have to deal with it. You see, while the U.S. needs a dose of inflation, China needs the opposite, a dose of deflation to help the country deal with soaring domestic inflation, and to keep price rises at bay so China’s 1.35 billion consumers have more purchasing power. So right now, as meetings in Washington between President Obama and China’s President Hu Jintao conclude — I am 100% certain that closed door agreements will have been reached to revalue the yuan higher, and the dollar lower, all in the name of “rebalancing the global economy.” ............ .................reasons for a 1st quarter plunge...chief among them will be the dollar devaluation against the Chinese yuan. ............. When it comes, which could be this month or next, it will be viewed very bearishly by most investors. Parallels will be made to the 1985 – 1987 period, when the dollar was devalued against the Japanese yen, setting off the crash of 1987. Larry Edelson

Kong Dollar (IDR) Indonesian Rupiah (INR) Indian Rupee (IRR) Iranian Rial (JPY) Japanese Yen (KES) Kenyan The above was the quote line for the radaforex.com with nothing mentioned about the IQD..... Looked like a bogus site to me... not "very interested" looking to me... my site is small and looks better than that site... I just don't buy this RV at different times. When companies, stocks hedge funds, ETF or currencies move, they move at the same time... none of this crap of exchanging in one area today and next week in another area..... but then we are dealing with the M.E. and who knows what rules they play by....

Well, I understand where everyone is deriving their thinking on the inverse position of Gold to the RV of the Dinar. I am going to make the assumption that the RV will not have an effect on the price of Gold for at least 2 years. All Gov'ts have agreed to hold their IQD for 2 years and with the Mad man at the helm of the Federal Reserve printing more money than ever, the Treasuries will go down until ~ Oct / Nov and then the interest rates will go up and so will the price of gold and silver. The next week, 07Jan11 to 14Jan11 the price will decrease and then watch the price of Gold and Silver continue its climb over 1400 again... I hope it drops to ~ $700 an oz but I really don't see that happening any time soon... but who am I... just my opinion based on the information I read and understand.

Coons on the porch, mama sweep it off with a broom...... horses, coons... I might as well say I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I started with this dinar stuff.... I even look a lot more like I do now than I did when I started....

The U.S. dollar: The U.S. dollar will not do much this year. That is, until late July. The action will most likely find the dollar trending sideways with a slightly bullish bias for the first seven months of the year. I do not expect the dollar to gain much during that period. However, come late July and heading into the end of this year, THE DOLLAR IS LIKELY TO CRASH TO NEW RECORD LOWS. It will lose value against every currency on the planet during that period (except gold). And the decline I expect in the buck in the last two quarters of this year will usher in a redesign of the world's monetary system in 2012, where I fully expect the dollar to truly begin losing its status as the world's reserve currency. Also important to note: The sovereign debt crisis that is now hitting Europe will very likely begin hitting the United States sometime in July 2011. Could the change in the dollar in July be an indication that it will "change" against other currencies. Bonds are probably going to rise until Sept or Oct and then a collapse with interest rates soaring after that happens.

The problem many of our elected officials have failed to remember is they are the ones that put our country in the financial mess we are in and by maintaining the tax cuts currently in place deprives "the politicians" from collecting from the tax payers enough money to pay for their mistakes. We "The People" have got to stand for a limited government and reject ANYONE who wants to make government bigger and reject those thinking WE owe THEM anything!! It is their job reduce the spending and maximize the effeciency of OUR government... Logic has been turned upside down in the past few years and if "We The People" don't understand that we will have to stop and/or reduce the "handout" programs we have so freely started over the years, "WE" will all be in trouble. Socialism DOES NOT WORK !!! I guess it's politics as usual until Jan 2011.... Taxing is a negative for the overall public. Cars for clunkers cost "WE THE PEOPLE" $8.76 for every dollar they spent to fund that program. No more borrowing from ourself to pay for ourself... that is what is going on. Wake up America !! Someone else can borrow my soapbox, I'm finished for a while....

Bumper64 - you are going to the bank... I am also, but after that I had planned to put 1mil or so in annuities and diversify in other investments. Today, I received a letter that would limit the amount we could put in Annuities with one company... The Treasuries are so volital they don't have anywhere to safely invest. $250,000 per account max. I originally thought about investing in Iraq, but after this craziness with getting the GOI in place and the financial RV in place... I don't think my nerves could handle more problems of waiting. This is a terrible problem to have... but somebody has to do it..!! ha!!

Math will work here. Simple, common sense approach. First you pay all your debts, taxes and keep your mouth tight... no talking to a lot of people.... Next you find some fixed secure A+ annuities, determine number of years until you can cash in without a penalty. Formula can be determined with a little work. put enough into a side fund/cdars account, treasury only money market, etc... that will allow a monthly draw direct to your checking account every month for x number of years. Once this side account is exhausted, Cash-in the 1st annuity and put that money in a like account for x number of years.... Then, after say 15 years your 3rd annuity or fixed account, if properly invested will equal the amount of money you started with and there you are, start the process all over again.... Key to this method is DO NOT OVERSPEND YOUR MONTHLY INCOME !!!!!! If you don't have any debt, you should be able to survive on $30 - $40k per month (determined by amount you start with) for the rest of your life and never run out of money... Good luck to all and be sure to think before you spend... don't be stupid, this opportunity will never come your way again....

Q. Isn't there a danger of another bubble burst — the gold bubble? A. A sharp gold correction? Yes! A bubble that's ready to burst? Not for a long time! Gold is still a long way from its inflation-adjusted all-time high, and the long-term cycles are still pointing higher for another couple of years. In the future, however, a bubble is certainly possible. Q. If gold hits $1,500 this year, what can we expect for gold miners and junior gold miners? Is there some incremental factor that we can expect? A. Yes. Most senior mining shares give you more profit potential than bullion, and most juniors give you more potential than seniors. But that's a double-edged sword. It also means they can fall in value faster. Right now, my focus is on the metals themselves, via ETFs. Q. Is war a threat to the price of gold and commodities? Do you see a war in our future? A. In the future? Heck! The U.S. alone is ALREADY waging hot wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, while pursuing cold wars against Iran and North Korea. We have major territorial disputes in the China Sea and other regions. Plus, we have ALL of the largest countries of the world knee deep in CURRENCY wars. Although I don't foresee a conflict ahead like World War I or II, I do see continued escalation on most of these fronts — very bullish for gold and probably for most commodities as well. Q. In order of importance, what are the top five factors that you think will drive the price of gold upward in the months ahead? A. It could change in the months ahead, but right now the top five factors are ... 1.Weakening U.S. dollar 2.Currency wars (all currencies being debased) 3.Anticipation of more quantitative easing 4Sovereign debt default concerns Worsening global instability Q. How does China and India buying gold affect the market? A. Both can have a big impact, and India is a large player in the gold market, especially during the Indian wedding season when demand for physical gold increases substantially.
