I HOPE ALL THE MOTHERS HAD A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I READ A STORY THAT SHOWS WHAT MOMS CAN DO WHEN THEY UNITE AND TAKE ACTION,  THERE IS A TELEVISION SHOW CALLED GCB WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT WAS CANCELED BY ABC.  THE LETTERS ORIGINALLY STOOD FOR 'GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES', BUT AN ORGANIZATION CALLED ONE MILLION MOMS CONSIDERED IT AN ATTACK ON THEIR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND CALLED FOR A BOYCOTT OF GCB AS "BLASPHEMY AT ITS WORST!"  THE TITLE OF THE SHOW WAS CHANGED TO 'GOOD CHRISTIAN BELLES AND THEN GBC AND NOW WE HEAR IT WILL NOT BE RENEWED.  WAY TO GO MOMS!;

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT WAS RELEASED BY BARACK OBAMA THAT HIS THINKING ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE HAS 'EVOLVED' TO THE POINT THAT HE NOW SUPPORTS IT.  MANY, IF NOT MOST, AMERICANS OPPOSE THIS AND WILL HOPEFULLY SHOW THEIR DISGUST AT THE BALLOT BOX IN NOVEMBER.  CERTAIN TRUTHS ARE SELF-EVIDENT AND DO NOT CHANGE WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.  ANYONE WITH A MODICUM OF COMMON SENSE CAN SEE THAT THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN AND ARE TO BE AVOIDED FOR A GOOD LIFE.  THESE ARE TO BE AVOIDED NOT AS A BURDEN, BUT FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT.  THOSE WITH A CONSCIENCE KNOW THIS. WE ALL FALL SHORT, BUT HOPEFULLY MAKE AMENDS, REPENT, AND GO FORWARD;

MICHELLE BACHMANN HAS DUEL, EXCUSE THE PUN, MATTERS TO DEAL WITH.  THE DISTRICT THAT THE MINNESOTA CONGRESSWOMAN AND FORMER CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY REPRESENTS IS APPARENTLY BEING REDRAWN AND FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE IT IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR HER RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN.  WE WILL LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER.  ALSO, SHE HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR APPLYING FOR DUEL CITIZENSHIP.  HER HUSBAND IS A DUAL CITIZEN, HOLDING THAT OF SWITZERLAND IN ADDITION TO HIS U. S. CITIZENSHIP.  I DON'T SEE THAT ANY LAWS HAVE BEEN BROKEN AND ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT A SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS SHOULD DO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT WOULD AFFECT HER SERVICE TO HER CONSTITUENTS.  HER VALUES ARE PRETTY WELL KNOWN AND SHE WOULD REMAIN TRUE TO THEM;

THE LATEST ON THE INVESTIGATION BY SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO INTO THE ELIGIBILITY ISSUE AND THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE LONG-FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE RELEASED BY THE WHITE HOUSE IS THAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANOTHER PRESS CONFERENCE IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE THAT WILL RELEASE MORE DEVELOPMENTS;

THE LATEST GALLUP PRESIDENTIAL TRACKING POLL SHOWS OBAMA AHEAD OF ROMNEY 46% TO 45%.  WE CAN EXPECT CONTINUED SWINGING BACK AND FORTH THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN AS EVENTS UNFOLD CONCERNING THE ECONOMY, GEOPOLITICS, SCANDALS, ETC.  THE ONLY POLL THAT COUNTS IS THE FINAL ONE, THE VOTE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER;

MEANWHILE THE NEVER-ENDING STORY OF THE SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS ROLLS ON IN EUROPE.  AUSTERITY HAS BEEN REJECTED BY FRENCH VOTERS AS INDICATED BY THE RECENT DEFEAT OF SARKOZY AND SIMILAR TRENDS ARE HAPPENING IN GREECE.  IT APPEARS THAT BELT-TIGHTENING IS TOO MUCH FOR MANY TO HANDLE.  IT LOOKS MORE LIKE THEY WANT TO PLAY 'KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD'. IRELAND IS NEXT UP AS ELECTIONS DRAW NEAR.  STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES;

GOLD AND SILVER HAVE BEEN DROPPING AS HAVE THE STOCKS OF THE MINERS.  MANY OF US CONTINUE TO VIEW THIS AS A BUYING OPPORTUNITY OR AT LEAST NOT A TIME TO SELL.  NOTHING HAS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED TO ALTER A CONTINUED BULLISH VIEW;

AS USUAL, IF TIME PERMITS, WE NEED TO CONTINUE DISCUSSING THE FOLLOWING:

I HOPE YOU ALL GOT YOUR TAX RETURNS FILED OR, IF NOT, HAVE APPLIED FOR AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION THAT GIVES YOU UNTIL OCTOBER 15 TH TO COMPLETE THE ONEROUS TASK.  THOSE OF US IN THE BUSINESS GET A BRIEF RESPITE BEFORE THE REGULAR AFTER-TAX SEASON WORK BEGINS AGAIN;

  APRIL IS ENDING AND AS WE ENTER THE MONTH OF MAY, WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE SIX MONTHS PLUS TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO MAKE SURE GOOD CANDIDATES GET ELECTED IN NOVEMBER.  THE SUCCESSES THAT WE HAD IN 2010 WERE ONLY THE BEGINNING ON THE LONG ROAD TO RESTORING OUR COUNTRY TO THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES UPON WHICH IT WAS FOUNDED;

AFTER THE INAUGURAL GALLUP PRESIDENTIAL TRACKING POLL SHOWED FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY LEADING BARACK OBAMA 47% TO 45%. THE LATEST ONE SHOWS A REVERSAL AS INDEPENDENTS HAVE MOVED TOWARD OBAMA AND HE NOW LEADS 49% TO 42%.  AS YOU KNOW, POLLS CAN SWING BACK AND FORTH THROUGHOUT ANY CAMPAIGN AS EVENTS UNFOLD CONCERNING THE ECONOMY, GEOPOLITICS, SCANDALS, ETC.  THE ONLY POLL THAT COUNTS IS THE FINAL ONE, THE VOTE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER.  IN LIGHT OF THE CHANGE HOWEVER, I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPORTING OBAMA HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO WHERE HE WAS CAUGHT ON A LIVE MIC TELLING RUSSIAN PRESIDENT MEDVEDEV THAT THE UPCOMING ELECTION WILL BE HIS LAST AND THAT HE WILL HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY DURING HIS NEW TERM.  FLEXIBILITY TO DO WHAT ???

THE WHITE HOUSE IS WOOING YOUNG VOTERS BY OFFERING TO HELP WITH THEIR STUDENT LOANS.  DID YOU KNOW THAT 37 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE STUDENT LOAN DEBT?  THIS IS A SAD STATE AS MANY ARE GRADUATING AND CANNOT FIND JOBS. WE HAVE TO START ASKING THE QUESTION 'IS GOING TO COLLEGE A GOOD DEAL?'  PERHAPS IT MAY BE BETTER TO SAVE THAT MONEY AND FIND ALTERNATIVE CHOICES TO BECOME EDUCATED.  MANY IN THE PAST HAVE WORKED AND GONE TO SCHOOL AT NIGHT SPREADING OUT THE COST OVER MORE THAN THE USUAL FOUR YEARS.  SOME WITH CONFIDENCE, RESOURCEFULNESS, DISCIPLINE, AND PERSISTENCE CAN FIND WAYS TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES.  I AM AMAZED AT HOW MODERN TECHNOLOGY, IN PARTICULAR, THE INTERNET PROVIDES A WONDERFUL TOOL TO TEACH YOURSELF ALL SORTS OF THINGS.  IT IS ALMOST LIKE HAVING A LIBRARY AT YOUR DISPOSAL.  THERE IS THE ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTION BY SOME THAT YOU NEED A DEGREE TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL. I THINK THIS VIEW NEEDS TO BE CHALLENGED, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE OBSERVE WHAT IS GOING IN IN THE NATIONS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.  DID YOU KNOW THAT PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES EDUCATE 75& OF AMERICAN UNDERGRADS?  MANY ARE ALSO BECOMING SUSPECT AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CLASSES, I. E. ARE AGENDAS THAT MOST PARENTS AND OTHERS DO NOT APPROVE BEING TAUGHT.  WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS DEEPER;

MEANWHILE THE NEVER-ENDING STORY OF THE SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS ROLLS ON IN EUROPE.  BOB CHAPMAN OF THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER SAYS THAT SPAIN, THE 5 TH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE EURO ZONE, HAS PUBLIC DEBT OF 68% OF GDP AND THAT SOME EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT NUMBER WILL BE 120% IN 2013.  HE DOES NOT THINK THAT SPAIN WILL BE RESCUED AS $1.5 TRILLION IS A LOT OF MONEY AND, EVEN IF IT IS, HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?  CAN ANYONE SAY...LET'S PLAY KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD?  HE ALSO SAYS THE DUTCH ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO INTO AUSTERITY AND THAT FITCH, THE CREDIT RATING AGENCY, IS NOW GOING TO PROBABLY LOWER THEIR DEBT RATING. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, BELGIUM, THE HOME OF THE EU AND EURO ZONE HAS IT'S FINANCIAL HEADACHES AND INCLUDES IT WITH THE OTHER SIX NATIONS, OR SHOULD I SAY 'SICK' NATIONS?  KEEP WATCHING EVENTS ACROSS THE POND!

EARNINGS SEASON IS IN FULL FORCE FOR THE CORPORATION'S LISTED ON THE VARIOUS STOCK EXCHANGES.  THE FIRST QUARTER REPORTS FOR 2012 CONTINUE TO BE RELEASED.  ARE YOU CHECKING THESE OUT AS THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH SOME INSIGHT AS TO THE CONDITION OF OUR ECONOMY?;

GOLD JUST POSTED ITS BIGGEST WEEKLY RISE SINCE LATE FEBRUARY AS DISAPPOINTING U. S. GROWTH AND EUROPEAN DEBT JITTERS BOOSTED INVESTMENT DEMAND FOR THE PRECIOUS METAL. SOME SAFE-HAVEN DEMAND ALSO SUPPORTED PRICES AFTER A CREDIT DOWNGRADE OF SPAIN'S SOVEREIGN DEBT BY STANDARD AND POOR'S.  BOB CHAPMAN SAYS CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE GOLD AND SILVER SHARES, COINS AND BULLION, WHILE THEY ARE STILL INEXPENSIVE;

E WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT ON THE GOLD AND SILVER MARKETS WHICH HAVE FALLEN SOMEWHAT FROM THEIR HIGHS.  GOLD IS STILL UP ABOUT 6% SINCE THE END OF 2011. HOW MANY INVESTMENTS CAN CLAIM THAT?

AS USUAL, IF TIME PERMITS, WE NEED TO CONTINUE DISCUSSING THE FOLLOWING:

PENSIONS - THEY NEED OUR ATTENTION.  MANY AMERICANS ARE RECEIVING THEM OR SOON WILL BE.  THE BABY BOOMERS ARE A LARGE GROUP IN THAT CATEGORY AND THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTIONS OR INACTION TO TAKE BOTH WITH ANY PRIVATE RETIREMENT PLANS THEY MAY HAVE OR EVEN WITH SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PLANS.  ALSO, DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME FEATURE ADMINISTERED BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION? THE RULES KEEP CHANGING IN THESE AREAS AND IT WOULD BE SMART TO LEARN THEM;

 

THE FEDERAL RESERVE - WE HAVEN'T STOPPED LOOKING INTO THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

AND WE WILL DELVE A LITTLE MORE INTO IT'S' BALANCE SHEET AND SEE IF WE CAN GLEAN THE FACTS REGARDING THIS INSTITUTION THAT HAS SUCH AN IMPACT ON OUR LIVES AND DETERMINE IF IT CAN BE ONE THAT TRULY SERVES THE PEOPLE OR SHOULD ANOTHER ACT OF CONGRESS BE PASSED TO END ITS' EXISTENCE. THIS CAN BE A TEDIOUS PROCESS, BUT WE MUST FOLLOW THE MONEY !;

 

 

BEFORE WE TACKLE THE FEDERAL SYSTEM HOWEVER IT MAY BE WORTHWHILE TO REVIEW WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN PRICHARD, ALABAMA WITH THEIR PENSION PLAN. I THINK THE LESSON HERE IS THAT WE SHOULD FIND A WAY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN MONEY AND NOT RELY TOO MUCH ON OTHERS, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR ABILITIES HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY DETERMINED;

 

 

GOLD - A RECENT SURVEY SHOWS HOW GOLD DOES DURING TIMES OF TURMOIL.  FIND OUT THE DETAILS;

 

WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE ON THE LIST OF THE 50 THINGS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE COLLAPSE OF THE ECONOMY;

 

 

AND WE WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST OF ANY LATE-BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STOCK AND COMMODITIES MARKETS, ESPECIALLY GOLD AND SILVER;

 

 

SOME THOUGHTS BY EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUALS IN THE WORLD OF MONEY MAY ALSO BE REVIEWED AND SOME AUDIO MAY BE PLAYED TO ROUND OUT THE SHOW.

APRIL 15 TH, TAX DAY, HAS FINALLY ARRIVED, BUT WAIT! YOU HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS TO MEET YOUR 2011 TAX FILING OBLIGATION.  BECAUSE THE 15 TH FELL ON A SUNDAY AND MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY, WE GET TWO EXTRA DAYS THIS YEAR.  THANK GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS.  WE IN THE TAX PREPARATION BUSINESS REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS EXTRA TIME, ALTHOUGH I WILL BE SPENDING IT ON PREPARING APPLICATIONS FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FOR MY CLIENTS. THOSE OF YOU THAT STILL HAVEN'T COMPLETED YOUR RETURNS CAN OBTAIN FORM 4868, APPLICATION FOR AUTOMATIC EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE U.S. INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX RETURN. THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN ADDITIONAL SIX-MONTHS TO DO IT.  REMEMBER, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO PAY YOUR TAXES, JUST TO COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK.  ESTIMATE YOUR TAX AND REMIT PAYMENT WITH THE FORM 4868.  FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE FILED...MANY HAPPY RETURNS!

WELL IT'S APRIL AND WE'RE THROUGH THE WINTER THAT NEVER WAS AT LEAST IN THE BAY STATE. WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THAT.

NOW, WITH SEVEN MONTHS TO GO UNTIL WHAT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN OUR HISTORY WE MUST REMAIN FOCUSED ON DOING SOME SPRING CLEANING AND SINCE THE MESS IS SO GREAT MAYBE IT WILL TAKE MANY MORE SEASONS TO GET OUR DYSFUNCTIONAL GOVERNMENT BACK ON THE TRACK THAT TRULY SERVES THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE.

THE BIG STORY GOING ON IS THE HEARING AT THE SUPREME COURT REGARDING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF OBAMA CARE.  FROM PRELIMINARY REPORTS IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OF THE JUSTICES ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.   JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA MADE THE FOLLOWING COMMENT, OBVIOUSLY RESISTANT TO EXPANDING GOVERNMENT'S REACH: "EVERYBODY HAS TO BUY FOOD SOONER OR LATER, SO YOU DEFINE THE MARKET AS FOOD, THEREFORE, YOU CAN MAKE POPLE BUY BROCCOLI.."

THE DECISION IS EXPECTED IN JUNE, BUT EVEN IF THE LEGISLATION IS NOT REPEALED, WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT WE ELECT CANDIDATES THAT WILL REPEAL IT IN THE CONGRESS AND WHITE HOUSE;

HERE IS THE LATEST ON THE OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE CONTROVERSY:

After a visit to Phoenix to get a first-hand look at evidence collected by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his investigative team, former Margaret Thatcher policy adviser Lord Christopher Monckton says he is convinced that the document presented by the White House as Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent.

Monckton, known internationally for his climate-change skepticism, told WND he didn’t pay much attention to the controversy surrounding Obama’s birth certificate until he watched Arpaio and his team present their preliminary findings at a March 1 news conference.  The sheriff's Cold Case Posse has concluded there is probable cause that Obama's birth document and his Selective Service registration are forgeries.

STAY TUNED AS THIS INVESTIGATION PROCEEDS.

MEANWHILE THE NEVER-ENDING STORY OF THE SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS ROLLS ON IN EUROPE.  WE BEST KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AS IT MAY BE A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME IN OUR COUNTRY

THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE IS STILL FLOATING AROUND THE $13,000.00 MARK.  THE UNANSWERED QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A REAL RECOVERY OR JUST THE RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE INFLUENCING THE MARKET WITH THE EASY-MONEY POLICIES IT HAS IMPLEMENTED. COULD WE BE IN FOR ANOTHER CRASH, PERHAPS AFTER THE ELECTION? TIME WILL TELL;

GOLD AND SILVER ARE ALSO STUCK IN A TRADING RANGE AND LOOKING FOR DIRECTION.  WE NEED TO FIND OUT OF ANY ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE GOLD BY THOSE WITH QUESTIONABLE MOTIVES?  WE MUST ASK THESE POIGNANT QUESTIONS GIVEN WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE'S LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND MANY OTHER INSTITUTIONS.  MARKETS SHOULD RISE OR FALL BASED ON TRUE AND VALID ECONOMIC FACTORS.  REGARDLESS OF THIS, BOB CHAPMAN, RICHARD RUSSELL, THE ADEN SISTERS AND MANY OTHERS STILL BELEIVE THE PRECIOUS METALS REMAIN IN A BULL MARKET.  I AGREE AS I SEE NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL HAS HAPPENED TO CHANGE THIS TREND AND REMEMBER...THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND!

IT'S TAX SEASON AND TAX FILING WILL BE DISCUSSED.  IN THIS REGARD HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT KIND OF A GOVERNMENT WOULD IMPOSE SUCH AN OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM ON ITS CITIZENS?  THIS HAS TO CHANGE AND SHOULD BE AMONG OUR TOP PRIORITIES!

AS USUAL, IF TIME PERMITS, WE NEED TO CONTINUE DISCUSSING THE FOLLOWING:

REMEMBER TO HIRE A VETERAN!

I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

WE HAD OUR ANNUAL PARADE IN BOSTON YESTERDAY, BUT WHAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT IT IS ALSO IN CELEBRATION OF EVACUATION DAY WHEN 236 YEARS AGO AFTER BOSTONIAN HENRY KNOX, UNDER ORDERS FROM GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON, LUGGED FIFTY -NINE CANNON THREE HUNDRED MILES FROM FORT TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK TO BOSTON TO FORTIFY DORCHESTER HEIGHTS AND CAUSE THE BRITISH TO SET SAIL FOR NOVA SCOTIA ABANDONING THE CITY TO WASHINGTON'S FORCES AND ITS JUBILANT CITIZENS;

I WAS THINKING OF THAT TIME OVER THE WEEKEND AND WAS WONDERING IF TODAY'S REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS MANY MEMBERS THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO MANY OF THE COLONIALS OF THOSE DAYS WHO, AS YOU KNOW, WERE LOYAL TO KING GEORGE AND THE TORIES.  WE SEE A SPLIT IN THE GOP TODAY WHERE NOT ALL SUPPORT THE TEA PARTY AND THEIR EFFORTS TO REFORM OUR COUNTRY AND RESTORE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES UPON WHICH IT WAS FOUNDED.  WHAT ARE THEY LOYAL TO?  COULD IT BE, COULD IT BE?.....MONEY AND BANKING INTERESTS OR WHAT?  WE NEED TO DETERMINE THIS CLEARLY AND DO SOME SPRING CLEANING!

ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI HAVE CHOSEN RICK SANTORUM TO BE THE GOP NOMINEE SO THE DELEGATE COUNT GETS CLOSER BETWEEN HIM AND ROMNEY.  IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF THE PARTY WAS UNITED TO FOCUS THEIR ENERGIES AND RESOURCES ON DEFEATING THE DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER.  HOPEFULLY WISER HEADS WILL REALIZE AND RESOLVE THIS.

WE HAVE SOME ONGOING MATTERS THAT MAY BE GETTING RESOLVED SOON.  THE MANAGEMENT OF ANDREW BREITBART'S ORGANIZATION HAS INDICATED THAT INCRIMINATORY TAPES WILL BE RELEASED SOON DAMAGING TO OBAMA'S ATTEMPT AT A SECOND TERM.  ALSO, WE KNOW THAT ARIZONA SHERIFF ARPAIO HAS INFORMED US THAT HIS INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.  REMEMBER HIS COLD-CASE POSSE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE THAT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE RELEASED BY THE WHITE HOUSE LAST APRIL IS A FORGERY AND THAT FRAUD IS SUSPECTED.  WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS ONE CLOSELY;

MEANWHILE, THE NEVER-ENDING STORY OF THE SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS ROLLS ON IN EUROPE.  WE BEST KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AS IT MAY BE A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME IN OUR COUNTRY

THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE IS STILL FLOATING AROUND THE $13,000.00 MARK.  THE UNANSWERED QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A REAL RECOVERY OR JUST THE RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE INFLUENCING THE MARKET WITH THE EASY-MONEY POLICIES IT HAS IMPLEMENTED.

GOLD AND SILVER ARE ALSO STUCK IN A TRADING RANGE AND LOOKING FOR DIRECTION.  WE NEED TO FIND OUT OF ANY ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE GOLD BY THOSE WITH QUESTIONABLE MOTIVES?  WE MUST ASK THESE POIGNANT QUESTIONS GIVEN WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE'S LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND MANY OTHER INSTITUTIONS.  MARKETS SHOULD RISE OR FALL BASED ON TRUE AND VALID ECONOMIC FACTORS.  BOB CHAPMAN OF THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER HAS SOME INTERESTING VIEWS ON THIS AND REPORTS THAT THE ATTACK ON SILVER RECENTLY WAS THE RESULT OF THE GOLD CARTEL'S NET SHORT POSITION, THAT ROSE FROM 160,000 CONTRACTS ON 12/31/11 TO 229,000 IN MID-MARCH 2012.  WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?  BOB WRITES, SILVER WAS ON IT'S WAY TO BREAK $40.00 AND GOLD $1,800.00 AN OUNCE AND SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE OR THE CRIMINALS WERE ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL AND  LOT OF MONEY;

GREG SMITH WROTE AN OP ED PIECE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES RECENTLY ENTITLED 'WHY I AM LEAVING GOLDMAN SACHS'.  HE SAYS THE ENVIRONMENT IN THAT FIRM IS NOW AS TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE AS HE HAS EVER SEEN.  THIS IS NOT WHAT HONORABLE CAPITALISM IS ALL ABOUT.  WHAT IS OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA DOING TO EXPOSE ANY OF THIS? CAN ANYONE SAY CREDIBILITY?

IT'S TAX SEASON AND TAX FILING WILL BE DISCUSSED.  IN THIS REGARD HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT KIND OF A GOVERNMENT WOULD IMPOSE SUCH AN OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM ON ITS CITIZENS?  THIS HAS TO CHANGE AND SHOULD BE AMONG OUR TOP PRIORITIES!

AS USUAL, IF TIME PERMITS, WE NEED TO CONTINUE DISCUSSING THE FOLLOWING:
