http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegoldw.html is good for one? - Intervention in the markets again - depressing the price of gold to defend the US$ - Ben, stop playing "silly buggers" and do something useful? resign... Gold down from 980 to 955 in minutes means only one thing....

Ooooh, - - sod it - - - I was only quoting prices after the event, bloody midnight local time somewhere... the graph suggested 38A$ down but price in A$ of 1208 which was only A$10 ish down before NY trading started.... NO truth in reporting seems to come out of USA of late - just lies and more lies... or motherhood statements to keep the usanians in a comatose state...

Just read your posts. There's a lot to laugh at there.

I start laughing histerically at your claim to be an australian, mark. You're hillarious (that's a synonim for IQ).

All usanians, just listen to this history lesson and understand where it is very similar to the current situation - http://www.netcastdaily.com/broadcas...009-0606-2.mp3 and likely to present the same outcomes.... Years and years of economic DEPRESSION for USA...

Slums are reality of life in the "paradise". Yet, since 1912, usanians had to learn how to close their eyes to the truth. For as long as the head is in the sand, the problems only exist somewhere else...

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstrac...6E9C946396D6CF

But the truth...

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dpu-projects/Gl...rt/pdfs/LA.pdf

Thiese are more like from a war zone:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/miami...-browards.html

http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4783

Let us go elsewhere. Ohio,for example. Love the architecture.Beats Havana any day:

Atlanta, the jewel in the crown of land of prosper:

And the reality is getting worse by the second. A lot of delusional, self-serving propaganda from once a superpower, now just a superpoor country that is about to implode into its own face. All because of cntury of lies, theft, corruption and blatant self-delusion that they are good and their is the only economical system that "works". Well, it works wonders. And it produces poverty at a rate not even seen in Africa.

Feeding America (yeah, right, america...) organisation in usa:


More than 30% of all usanians live in poverty and depend solely on food handouts from charity organisations.


Each year, Feeding America, the USA’s leading (but by no means its only) domestic hunger-relief charity, provides food assistance to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.

A survey by Feeding America, using figures from the US Department of Agriculture, put the number of people in the US under age 18 who are food insecure, meaning they don’t regularly get adequate amounts of food necessary for a healthy life, at 12 million. Of those, 3.5 million are children under age 5.

Some of the survey’s results were truly shocking: in Louisiana, almost 25 percent of children under the age of 5 are food insecure. In oil-rich Texas, former president Bush’s home state, 22 percent of children under the age of 18 are food insecure.


Americans have it drummed into them all the time that getting government relief, their equivalent of our dole, is not a right but a mark of complete personal failure, like having to go to a “charity ward” in a hospital. Although reluctant, as a result, to accept government help, the number of Americans now receiving government food stamps (redeemable for groceries) is the highest since the program began in 1962 and stands at 32 and a half million!

That’s ten percent of the US population that are surviving on government handouts for food. And that figure would be much higher if all the people eligible for food stamps actually received them. (Feeding America estimates that more than a third of those eligible for food stamps don’t receive them.)

And, according to Feeding America, the number of families enrolled in the federal food stamp program who receive far less aid each month than what’s needed for a healthy diet is in the millions.

Meanwhile, if we look at housing, four years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the US Gulf Coast thousands of survivors are still living in temporary caravans provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), caravans which have recently been found to contain dangerous amounts of formaldehyde.


Yeah, socialism failed. It failed to blast the nazist dungeon out of existence. And now we all have to suffer from their stupidity.

And there's a chunk of Philadelphia called "wasteland". Wonder why? (it is the largest public housing estate in the usa)

To fix just the crap in usa will require trillions, given the size of the country. The money they do not have and are already printing the money to try and save the failed capitalist economy, which is as we all now know from the multitude of links posted so far just about to precipitate under its own weight.

Some postcards from LA, for those that have never been in the city of dreams and unimaginable wealth. This area is known as "skidrow" among the locals.

Makes me ponder why they think they have it good...? That's capitalism itself making socialism looking good.

Strewth mate you've got a few 'Macropus Rufus' loose in the top paddock if you think I can give you an "original" phrase that proves I am Australian. You must be the world's only living brain donor, too slow to keep worms in a tin. After all a phrase is a phrase because its not original, you have to be dummer than a box of rocks to think that it could be original! Jeez if your brain was made of electricity, you'd be a walking blackout!

I tell ya what though, if I had a dog that looked like you, I'd shave it's arse and make it walk backwards! Anywhooo I am as dry as a dead dingo's donger so I'm gunna do the Harold Holt, hit the frog 'n toad and go down the rub a dub, dub. So up ya Bundy, ya potato peeler, you're about as useful as tits on a bull, couldn't even give birth to a politician without instructions.

If ya want, next time you are in Sydney I will meet you at Harry's and show you what a pie floater is, you will like Sydney, being a horses hoof and all.

I say old chap, you can look all of that up on the interweb thingy, so what does it prove???
