IOTO, Japan (AP) — Iwo Jima is a training site like no other. The rugged volcanic crag was one of the most iconic battlegrounds of World War II, and is so isolated and barren it has almost never been inhabited by anyone other than military troops. But from the perspective of U.S. Navy fighter pilots who regularly train on the island’s one functioning airstrip, it is unique in another way.

If a plane finds itself in serious trouble and for some reason that lone airstrip on the island isn’t viable, the only alternative is to eject and ditch in the Pacific. It’s a problem that the U.S. Navy, which is now conducting training on the island to prepare pilots for deployment to the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, has been trying to fix for nearly 25 years.   Continue reading “Amid safety fears, US Navy jets train on Iwo Jima”

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona sheriff who led the way for local police across the country to take up immigration enforcement is reconsidering his crackdowns — and other law enforcement officials who followed his lead are expected to eventually back away, too.

Joe Arpaio, the sheriff for metropolitan Phoenix, has temporarily suspended all his immigration efforts after a federal judge concluded two weeks ago that the sheriff’s office had racially profiled Latinos in its patrols, Arpaio spokesman Brandon Jones told The Associated Press.   Continue reading “Ariz. sheriff suspends immigration efforts”

I have been a broker for 20 years. Recently the major broker dealer I work for asked me and my clients to leave due to too high of a concentration in physical metals.

I am now in the process of moving my clients and metals to a new custodian. Here is where things get interesting: Every transfer is being rejected multiple times for the any reason the old major broker dealer can come up with.    Continue reading “20 Year Metals Trader: Every Metals Transfer Request from Major Broker is Being Rejected Multiple Times!”

It may be very un-American of me to say this, but I never liked baseball. I could never sit through two innings, let alone pay attention to an entire game. I don’t care what anyone’s batting average is, or how many strikeouts any pitcher has, and I never did, but when I was a kid, I had an awesome collection of baseball cards.

If you’re wondering why a kid who doesn’t like baseball would collect baseball cards, it’s because I was an aspiring businessman, and baseball cards are the “fiat currency” of America’s young boys. They’re not only traded for other baseball cards, but they can also buy other toys, and favors (goods and services), and also provide a youngster with the prestige of great wealth.   Continue reading “Money”

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Seeking a fresh start to a complex relationship, President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are retreating to a sprawling desert estate for two days of talks on high-stakes issues, including cybersecurity and North Korea’s nuclear threats.

Obama’s efforts to press Xi to halt China’s alleged hacking against the U.S. could be overshadowed by revelations that Obama’s own administration has been secretly seizing phone records from millions of Americans.   Continue reading “Obama, Xi Jinping Meeting In California”

LOS ANGELES — The troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant on the California coast is closing after an epic 16-month battle over whether the twin reactors could be safely restarted with millions of people living nearby, officials announced Friday.

Operator Southern California Edison said in a statement it will retire the twin reactors because of uncertainty about the future of the plant, which faced a tangle of regulatory hurdles, investigations and mounting political opposition. With the reactors idle, the company has spent more than $500 million on repairs and replacement power.   Continue reading “San Onofre Power Plant Closing After Epic 16-Month Battle”

Over and over again, the elite have managed to try and outsmart us and make the people feel as though they are one step ahead of us. After each passing false flag event, however, we have begun to develop our own kind of formulas and evaluations as to how the elite will tactically proceed after executing their next false flag attack, since we all know that these attacks won’t stop until We the People stand up and put a stop to it ourselves.

So in order to possibly understand their ways, I have been studying Sun Tzu’s, The Art of War and have found some interesting strategic steps that I feel the elite have probably used in the past and that we can study to help us analyze their possible tactics. Just like a disease, in order to fight, slow down and stop a threatening attack from spreading, it’s important that we know the possible stages that it must go through in order to carry out its function. Only then, can we find the means to counter the attack after it is set in motion.   Continue reading “How the elite try to use sheer cunning on the day that they take up command”
