From our "eyes open" and be ready for the ME to go hot, not only are sources in Israel reporting that unofficially folks are being told to ready their safe rooms, but we now see that telecommunications cable breaks servicing that part of the world are now up to 5!
"A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria.

About the drop in the price of gold today: Could this be a 'beat down' to let big players in on the cheap before something goes hot?? We're scanning for more "telecom breaks" which might be a precursor to things getting ugly. That could be very bad for the equities markets as well...
Worries in Israel
There's a small chance - but worth mentioning - that all hell is about to break loose in the Middle East wars. A snip from an email to me from inside Israel this morning notes that "in any case such a fast and prayer day as we are having today has not been called for since immediately before the second intifada."

Great chart BTW
What? No chemtrails?
Pray for my son Jaime and Daughter-in-law, Nancy! They live in Jerusalem. I am concerned because they have not had internet at the home for some time. We cannot Skype. We are concerned.
cable-cutting not having the intended effect.

That was during the Clinton years, when BJ was considering banning guns.

Our soldiers being asked if they’d shoot American citizens if ordered to...
I've somehow missed this little gem. Where did it come from?
I heard that kook comment during the early years of the Clinton Administration. Just ignore these idiots.
You’re video is shocking and mind boggling. I can’t believe that the Marine Corps has sunk so low as to train it’s troops to fight and kill it’s own Civilians who won’t submit to being disarmed and “displaced”.
I would not only have disobeyed such an unlawful order, I would have made every effort to go over to the people’s side.
Say what?
The people who are in the position to actually give such orders, never would. Heck, they'd probably organize a coup if the "grand high mucky-mucks" ever lost their minds and ordered such things.
Soldiers are people, too.
I was in the army in the late 1960's. We in the First Army trained one summer in riot control. Mostly we drilled in line and wedge formations with bayonets mounted. We were instructed that the commanders had seven levels of force to call upon. The seventh was the order given to shoot. These would be Americans that we would shoot.
I seem to recall reading about veteran demonstrations being routed by the Army in the early 1900's. I believe some were killed. Perhaps some FR historians know more about this.
Anything derived from a site called "urbansurvival.com" is bound to have high entertainment value!
Well, the guy later said he had changed his mind about it.
It made me pause because I do remember the story that the same thing was being asked in a questionnaire at 29 Palms in the 90’s. Almost all of the lower level marines (I believe it’s the marines) asked would not do it. Higher ups were more likely to say yes.
The man is a raving lunatic truther and sucker for every last convoluted, asinine, idiot conspiracy theory out there.
Feh!
