    with all the banking scandals (LIBOR, FOREX, money laundering) maybe it's time to tie up some loose ends before the truth on gold gets out. image

    For coverage of Jimi Hendrix you want the Laurel Canyon Death List , I'd link to it but I don't want to be responsible for blowing your mind image

    I think conspiracy theories are intentional to keep folks busy discussing abstractions that have no direct connection to their actual lives. By wringing our hands and spending our precious hours worrying about these huge, distant issues, we're playing right into their hands to control our thoughts in the direction they want us to... remote TRILLS and the beleagured 150-million person "middle class", and assassinations/suicides of him or her, omg my shoulders ain't big enough to carry the load of the world's cares woes and worries.

    should I shrug it off and spend my energy with the 3 people closest to me, and then the next dozen or so, and then the next hundred, and quit worrying about the larger them?

    One at least from the article was suicide, the other two were apparent. You don't commit suicide when your happy n fuzzy.

    I have a hard time believing someone could deliberately shoot themselves 7 or 8 times on purpose with a framing gun. Not that it isn't possible but the first few times would be pretty discouraging and I think you would stop.

    Only if he's talking to federal regulators. If so tell him to immediately get into the banker protection program.

    As well as bankers. Note that that is not JPM's annual suicide rate, more like its monthly rate.

    Even at a 3/month rate would only be in line with the US average.

    "These dead bankers are starting to pile up."

    Lets add to the list the number of volcanoes that have recently erupted.. And I think a 1000 ft long asteroid was within a million miles of Earth. And Polar Vortexes.. Oh MY!!

    -According to the Bangkok Post, people are "stampeding to yank their deposits out of banks" in Thailand right now.

    -Venezuela is coming apart at the seams. Just check out the photos in this article.

    -The unemployment rate in South Africa is above 24 percent.

    -Ukraine is on the verge of total collapse..



    China is starting to quietly sell off U.S. debt. Already, Chinese U.S. Treasury holdings are down to their lowest level in almost a year.----From the very same article holdings are at within a hair of all-time highs.

    -George Soros has doubled his bet that the S&P 500 is going to crash. His total bet is now up to about $1,300,000,000.----Funny cuz he had a similar sized position last summer. He covered it all within a few months.


    But of course, these "facts" most definately mean its a bad time to be a banker. image
