Don't know what that means, if anything...just interesting to note.
1. Iranian plane crash earlier this week - most of the dead were journalists...
2. Major Iran military exercise in the Persian Gulf off of Oman this week in progress...
3. Iran's president said this morning that the OIC in Mecca decided that any threat against one member country would be considered a threat against the entire Islamic world...
The Persian Gulf is definitely heating up...
Thanks for the update.
Good to know that the explosives found were turned in.

Iranian leader condemned for Holocaust remarks
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany, Russia and Switzerland joined the European Union on Friday in a chorus of condemnation of the Iranian president for suggesting the Holocaust might not have taken place and that Israel should be moved to Europe.

Iranian leader condemned for Holocaust remarks <<<<
He is going to keep poking at Israel and America, until they have had enough, then he will find out what happens to nuts, when they pick at the big boys.
He sure did not listen to my granny, she always said :
"Walk softly and carry a big stick"
Recently, I read that it came from Teddy Roosevelt.
It fits, he would have been her President.
When you consider she lived 95 years, guess there several Presidents in her lifetime.
I just asked my gold broker the same question! He said it was mostly large financial institutions are making bulk purchases. When gold takes a plunge in price, it's usually because a country like China dumps several metric tons onto the market at once. I'd like to know, if at those times, those particular countries (like China) were offered financial incentives by the global banks to keep the price of gold artificially low?
Thank you, granny, for sending this.
Ya'll, check out the short note in the little gray box.

All the games with gold, are what kept me out of owning it, give me a cheap lot, at least I can camp on it and if I am
lucky, maybe something will happen to make it worth more.
I think that gold and diamonds have too much control by the big boys.
It has been about 25 years, since using the price of gold would tell you how the stock price was going.
Good luck with your gold......of course, it is beautiful.
US TOLD SAUDIS ABOUT QAEDA PLANE THREAT PRE-9/11
Reuters ^ | Dec 9, 2005 | Reuters
Posted on 12/09/2005 9:30:01 AM PST by blogblogginaway

this is strange.
...A secondary school in the Highlands has seen almost half its pupils struck down by an unidentified illness. Yesterday, 420 of the 992 pupils at Thurso High School were absent with flu-like symptoms..."It seems to be hitting only the younger generation. There have been no teaching staff off. I don't know what is causing it."

That is a very large number to be affected. Appears to be highly contagious, whatever it is.
When I saw your post to me, I thought the article was referring to the Highlands near me at the Jersey Shore. I'm relieved that it's not the Atlantic Highlands but I sure hope all of those kids get better soon and they figure out what the strange illness is.

Release Number: 05-12-25
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RAMADI TERRORIST BROUGHT IN
CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, Iraq The number three terrorist on the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (28th Infantry Division) High Value Individual list was detained Dec. 9 in the provincial capital of ar Ramadi.
Amir Khalaf Fanus, an al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist in the Ramadi area, was wanted for criminal activities including murder and kidnapping. Today, local Iraqi citizens brought him to an Iraqi and U.S. Forces military base in Ramadi.
Fanus, also known in Ramadi by his Iraqi moniker, the Butcher, was well-known for his crimes against the local populace. He is the highest ranking al Qaeda in Iraq member to be turned into Iraqi and U.S. officials by local citizens.
His capture is another indication that the local citizens tire of the terrorists presence within their community. Iraqi and U.S. Forces have witnessed increasing signs of citizens fighting the terrorists within Ramadi as the Dec. 15 National Elections draw nearer.
Recently, an additional 1,200 Iraqi Soldiers have recently been stationed in Ramadi. Approximately 1,100 Iraqi Special Police Commandos and a mechanized Iraqi Army company completed their planned movement into the city.
This plan has Iraqi security forces assuming more of the security responsibilities from the U.S. Forces. As in other locations, as security improves, Iraqi police will also be gradually introduced within the city.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE 2D MARINE DIVISION PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER AT POOLJS@GCEMNF-WIRAQ.USMC.MIL.
