We have another battle on our hands in the precious metals markets.
Gold is again bumping up against resistance in the $1,225 area. Gold
slipped below that price in mid-February and since then has been
battling to hurdle back above it. Gold twice probed $1,225 in March, and
two more times in April. But like a resolute and determined soldier
aiming to seize an objective, gold is again probing $1,225 here in May.
Central Planners Having A Hard Time Suppressing Gold Price
However, this time gold has already managed to briefly hurdle this level, but for the moment has been beaten back. Nevertheless, this time around the central planners are finding it more difficult to keep a lid on the gold price. Given the resistance being placed around $1,225 and immediately above, it would not be unreasonable for gold to back-and-fill for awhile. After all, look at what it has accomplished over the past two months. From a low of $1,142 in mid-March, gold is now knocking against its $1,225 nemesis. That’s a better than 7 percent gain in only two months.

Do you remember what happened when Cyprus decided to defy the EU? In
the end, the entire banking system of the nation collapsed and money was
confiscated from private bank accounts. Well, the nation of Greece is
now approaching a similar endgame. At this point, the Greek government
has not received any money from the EU or the IMF since August 2014.
As you can imagine, that means that Greek government accounts are just
about bone dry. The new Greek government continues to insist that it
will never “violate its anti-austerity mandate”, but the screws are
tightening. Right now the unemployment rate in Greece is over 25
percent and the banking system is on the verge of collapse. It isn’t
going to take much to set off a panic, and when it does happen there are
already rumors that the EU plans to confiscate money from private bank
accounts just like they did in Cyprus.Throughout this entire multi-year crisis, things have never been this dire for the Greek government. In fact, Greece came thisclose to defaulting on a loan payment to the IMF back on May 12th. And with essentially no money remaining at all, the Greek government is supposed to make several large payments in the weeks ahead…

UPDATE: Greek Default Would Mean Poverty Trap, Dijsselbloem Tells VN
The Humanitarian Crisis Relief program was one of the top priorities of the SYRIZA-Independent Greeks coalition government and it was pushed forwards despite the Troika-Institutions objections. After the EU leaders Summit end of March, EU Commission President Jean Claude Juncker had announced to release 2 billion euro to tackle the Greek humanitarian crisis. While it is not clear if Juncker sent the money or not, As KeepTalkingGreece reports, 212,897 Greeks have so far submitted requests to be part of the Humanitarian Crisis Relief Program.
The majority of the needy seek help with food, while a percentage seeks financial aid to pay rent and an even smaller percentage needs free electricity.

Folks in our time are slowly becoming more aware that governments are the last places on earth whose word you should take at face value. From broken healthcare promises, to flagrant privacy violations, to illegal confiscation of assets, there’s no line that governments won’t cross. Yet, oddly enough, with all the promises being broken left and right, most folks who are looking to retire in the not-too-distant-future aren’t taking the numerous threats to their retirement assets very seriously.
Particularly, in the last 5 years, the world has seen a disturbing trend of retirement asset seizures, and though the types of defaults or confiscations of retirement assets may vary, the cause of those pension thefts actually varies very little. Pension promises are some of the most serious ones that governments make, and the rate at which these promises are being broken, further demonstrates how far gone the world financial system actually is.

Got [Physical] Silver?
from SRS Rocco Report:
Many of the top precious metal analysts state that gold is the premium asset and insurance hedge during a financial collapse. We hear this time and time again. However, if we look at the data during the near collapse of the U.S. Banking and financial system in 2008, gold wasn’t the most sought after precious metal.
Before the failure of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and AIG (2008), physical gold and silver investment was minimal. For example, in 2007 total physical gold investment was 438 metric tons (mt) while investors purchased 1,605 mt of silver. This translates to 14 million oz (Moz) of physical gold investment versus 51 Moz of silver.
But, the very next year as the U.S. and world financial system experienced a heart attack, physical gold and silver investment surged. Even though physical gold investment more than doubled to 913 mt, silver investment demand skyrocketed to a stunning 5,826 mt.

“Cash Is Coined Freedom”: War on Cash Becomes Official in Germany, Reaches G-7, Draws Withering Fire
from Wolf Street:
It came from a voice that has, by law, the ear of the German
government. Peter Bofinger is a member of the German Council of Economic
Experts – the “Five Sages on the Economy” – which in its official
function advises the government and parliament on economic policy
issues. These folks are taken seriously.
So Bofinger told the German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview (full interview behind paywall) that cash should be done away with.
In Denmark, a new law was proposed that would allow shops to refuse cash payments. Officially, it’s to reduce the “administrative and financial burdens” of handling cash. Since it’s up to the shop to decide, the law sounds innocuous. But it would be another step to making money a purely electronic entity that can be seamlessly tracked anywhere. It would also be another step in granting the central bank the absolute power to inflict confiscatory monetary policies on any entity or person with money in the bank.

Negative
interest rates will only work if the people cannot remove their funds
in the form of cash. Once cash is removed from the system then “money”
is captured within the banking system and they can charge whatever
negative interest rates, service charges and fees that they desire. The
only thing that will hold them back at all is competition within the
banking community and that is disappearing fast with all the mergers and
mega-banks.
Negative interest rates discourages saving and encourages spending and immediate consumption. The very basis of capitalism is to acquire capital through savings. The ditch digger who uses a shovel is trapped with a given production rate. Regardless how early he starts and how late he works he can only dig so far. But if he saves his money or capital and one day buys a backhoe he is all of a sudden 100 times more productive and can earn much more with his labor.

In recent weeks we’ve seen numerous reports of how banks are actively
working with governments to restrict cash usage. JP Morgan Chase, one of
the world’s largest banks, has advised their customers that storing
cash in their safe deposit boxes is no longer allowed –
for your safety, of course. The new policy sounds ridiculous but makes
complete sense when you consider that you would then be left with no
other choice than to hold your money exclusively in your bank account,
where the bank will simply charge you for the privilege of depositing your funds in their fine financial institution.
Any normal working class individual would have the same reaction you’re problem having right now to this news: take your cash out of the bank. While that may sound like a great plan, it turns out that bank employees have been told by the government that they should be reporting to law enforcement officials any suspicious looking cash transactions, especially withdrawals, even if they are for just a couple of thousand dollars so that enforcement agents can then seize those funds.

One of the great ironies is that just as neo-liberal economics and
“modern finance” were falsifying each of their core claims Tony Blair
led New Labour to embrace both dogmas. The result was a double economic
catastrophe and it also led to the defeat of New Labour at the polls. I
have already explained how Blair’s and Gordon Brown’s embrace of the
most criminal and corrupt elements of the City of London (and their
dogmas) and their resultant unholy war on financial regulation caused
the UK financial crises and the UK’s Great Recession.
But after this catastrophe, New Labour’s attachment to insane austerity policies became a death grip. It also led to the single stupidest political action by a New Labour official (Liam Byrne) – one that continues to haunt his party today.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounded like she was pushing for
“re-education camps” when she said “deep-seated cultural codes,
religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” on abortion.
“The reality is first of all you listen to her language: ‘our religious beliefs need to be changed.’ It sounds like reeducation camps. She didn’t say specifically how she wants us to change our beliefs. My religious beliefs aren’t between me and Hillary Clinton. They’re between me and God,” Jindal said.
Jindal was asked what he thought about Clinton saying religious beliefs will have to be changed in terms of abortion.

Shockingly, Hillary Clinton’s ties to Monsanto are new information to her liberal support base. It drives home the important point that nearly everyone supporting Hillary Clinton has no idea who she really is, as evidenced by this stunning new video from Mark Dice and Luke Rudkowski.
“Hillary Rodham Clinton’s ties to agribusiness giant Monsanto, and her advocacy for the industry’s genetically modified crops, have environmentalists in Iowa calling her ‘Bride of Frankenfood'” reports the Washington Times. “A large faction of women voiced strong support for Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy until the GMO issue came up, prompting them to switch allegiances to Sen.

and herbicides were meant to control how a plant grows, there is no doubt that they affect us too – and we are using more pesticides and herbicides than ever.
Strangely, these chemicals aren’t destroying pests – they are likely destroying us. As Dr. Henley explains, when pesticides and herbicides were invented, 37 percent of our crops were being lost to pests – 57 years later, more than 37 percent of our crops are being destroyed.

Alex’s mother says she was denied access to the room four or five times before the school’s vice principal escorted her to see her son.
“Immediately Alex’s mom pulled out her phone and started taking pictures as the vice principal tried to block her,” the blog states, adding the mother was also unable to re-enter the room in order to photograph the thermostat.

Over the first half of this year; several trends (and schemes) have seemed to emerge, as the One Bank herds the West (and most of the Rest of the World?) towards another mass-shearing. Indeed, now that “bail-ins” have been rubber-stamped by all Western governments as the newest way for the banksters to steal/confiscate wealth; it appears we are heading for a final plundering of these bankrupt Western regimes, which lack the solvency to withstand another, dramatic financial shock.
However, up to this point; the “trends” have not seemed to be in-synch with the one of the “schemes”. Specifically; it has previously been laid out to readers that almost certainly the Next Crash is already scheduled for 2016. We have two, strong reasons for adopting this conclusion:
1) Staging a crash as ½ of the U.S. Two-Party Dictatorship nears the end of its term allows the banksters to use the old regime as scapegoat for the crash, while the other half of the tag-team plays the role of White Knight, supposedly “riding to the rescue” of the besieged population.

In 2008, Barak Obama as a presidential candidate announced he would
close the American prison at Guantanamo. It is now 2015 and after 7
years in office he didn’t keep his word or did he? Activists and
liberals around the world have continually cited the failure to close
“Gitmo” as proof that President Obama was no different than President
Bush, either of them. Most of them knew better, knew why “Gitmo” is open
to this day, who is responsible and the perversion of American
government that has kept this international embarrassment alive and
well.
This week, Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services indicated that his party might consider ending its blockade on funding authorizations needed for President Obama to close Guantanamo. It seems Guantanamo has been kept open all these years, not by President Obama, but by the Republican Party, the one that finances the groups that attack President Obama for failing to close Guantanamo. This should be no surprise in a world where “sound bites” and “bumper stickers” are treated as political polemics.

I’m focused on the intense interference in the market these days. It’s
getting worse with each passing day, as the central planners become
more and more desperate. A recent insult to rational thought was the
apparent plunge in the inflation rate in U.S. wholesale prices in April —
a 0.4 percent decline. That decline was against an expected 1 percent
increase. However, a significant portion of the decline was attributed
to the index for gasoline, which declined 4.7 percent. In reality,
gasoline prices rose by 8 percent during April.
Already Debt-Ridden Consumer Being Further Crippled
I don’t care what sort of seasonal adjustments they use, but these sort of numbers are preposterous, and very indicative of the quality of U.S. economic stats in recent years. In my opinion the U.S. economy is already receding and the prices of necessities are under upward pressure. This is having the effect of further crippling the already damaged and debt-ridden consumer.

In my opinion the U.S. economy is already receding and the prices of necessities are under upward pressure. This is having the effect of further crippling the already damaged and debt-ridden consumer.

from Chuck Butler, Daily Pfennig:
The U.S. Data Cupboard was not kind to those rate hike campers last
Friday… The two major prints, Industrial Production and Capacity
Utilization both disappointed like I said they would in the Pfennig
Friday morning… Industrial Production (IP) fell -.3% in April, marking
the 5th consecutive monthly decline… Also marking its 5th consecutive
month of declines, Capacity Utilization dropped from 78.6% to 78.2%… (a
sizeable downward move, I might add!) Just more data that doesn’t meet
expectations or prints negative that continue to mount up for the U.S.
economy, and also continues to make the Fed’s job very difficult, for
they want to hike rates badly to save face with the markets, but they
will meet all kinds of resistance in this kind of environment …
The U. of Michigan Consumer Confidence for the first two weeks of May, dropped from 95.9 to 88.6! OUCH! Now that’s going to leave a mark! Are the sheeple beginning to wake up and smell the coffee on the economy? I usually don’t place too much emphasis on this report, but a dealer sent me a note on Friday, and directed me to a graph, that showed how this report aligns with the direction of the Dollar Index (DXY) And now that the U. of Mich. Consumer Confidence report is heading downward, so too is the DXY… Very Interesting, and proves once again, that you do learn new stuff all the time!
