Delta Elis - Bioresonance





We are going to give this story the benefit of a doubt simply because if the claims are true, deliverability is almost immediate at the mass market level and customer feedback will be as immediate.  We will know soon.  I do hope it is everything claimed.

I do know that simple electromagnetic energy is quite capable of destroying bacteria although it was not successfully implemented as a universal protocol.  It is more than reasonable that narrowly tuned emissions applied effectively could cure a vast array of biological insults.  Goodbye flu shot.

What is clear is that this market plan is side stepping the whole medical industry as well they need to.  There are few vacations in Maui using this technology.

There will still be plenty of other medical issues to address, but eliminating external biological assaults and stimulating natural recovery is a huge step forward.  So let us hope this turns out to be real.



Deta Elis – Star Trek Medicine – Bioresonance

Posted by Dr Sircus on November 25, 2013


Thought doctor McCoy had it good with his equipment on the Starship Enterprise? Wait until you get a load of what is coming to revolutionize the world of medicine. Medicine just got exciting thanks to Russian scientists and over 17 years of in-depth research. The future has arrived and just as three-dimensional printing will revolutionize manufacturing, this technology will revolutionize the practice of medicine.

This groundbreaking medical technology is making many people a lot of money in Russia. Why? Because it destroys the pharmaceutical paradigm and the doctors that practice it, using electromagnetic vibration to diagnose and cure without side effects yet with pinpoint precision. Deta Elis Electromagnetic Bioresonance Therapy Devices will be sweeping the globe just like cell phones and computers.

Who has endorsed this technology? President Putin of Russia uses it and the Department of Health in Russia has approved it for wide use across their nation, which amounts to three hundred million people. The Russian space program uses this technology because it enables convenient and non-invasive monitoring and enhancing of the health of their cosmonauts. Medicine just became more affordable, more accurate, and infinitely safer with Delta Elis technology.

The first stop in this revolution is Hepatitis B and C as well as herpes. Russian doctors are claiming a ninety percent cure rate for these incurable infections. Everyone is familiar with the fact that you can shatter a glass with sound.

One of the Deta Elis machines, called the “Deta AP” will shatter viruses, bacteria and fungi, coming to us just as antibiotics become more of a terror than a help. This phenomenon where we can kill microbes with frequencies is called BIORESONANCE, and this is the principle that these Deta Elis devices use to cure.

Those who know of preceding technology like Hulda Clark’s Zapper will soon be able to afford Deta Elis machines, which will be like cell phones and soon even smaller, that will wipe out every infection imaginable with laser precision. Let us consider it a Zapper on steroids times 1,000 for starters!

With this “too good to be true” form of medicine (Bioresonance) one can have their diagnosis already in hand from a western practitioner and use one of the treatment machines that one can buy as a consumer/patient. Very soon even similar models will be available like MP3 players and one will be able to download, like on an IPad, applications that will address specific medical problems. So if you are travelling, for example, and come down with gastroenteritis, you can download on your personal computer the AP for gastroenteritis and run it until you get better. The application program will contain all the frequencies for eradicating the bacteria responsible for gastroenteritis. This is 21st century medicine at its best!

Just as Bioresonance can be used to balance a part of the body it can also be used to destroy parasites and bacteria. By far better than explaining, it is to watch a 33-second video and see it in action.

Can you see the power of this? Once diagnosed with a particular parasite or virus it can be targeted with a particular frequency that will cause no harm to anything else but kill the parasite/virus. The video above shows parasites exploding but for a very clear demonstration on glass in slow motion watch the following:

In the future, after practitioners are trained, Deta Elis diagnostic machines will reveal the exact parasite, virus, bacteria or fungus present and then the treatment device is programmed to destroy, and destroy it does. Though most of this is preprogrammed into the device diagnostics takes wings to a new level that pins down a patient’s overall chronic problems, translates that into a frequency, and then an exact positive outburst from the device will, over several hours, shower the wearer with the perfect healing frequency.

First we destroy everything that does not belong inside of us with one Deta Elis device and then we set upon the task of rebuilding our organs and numerous biological systems with another called the Deta RITM device, which helps to heal and rejuvenate organ pathologies and physiological systems such as the immune system, circulatory system, hormonal system and the like.

Infectious control in the 21st century certainly is not going to be anything like that of the 20th century. The age of antibiotics is about over as great harm has been done to the world’s populations with them. We have come close to compromising our biological existence with the reckless use of antibiotics.

Now we have antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogens encroaching on our biospheres and it is getting increasingly dangerous to set foot anywhere near a hospital. Many people, including children, who die in the hospital after surgery die not from the surgery itself but from infections that get out of control. Infections cause 68 percent of childrens’ deaths. Not with Deta Elis devices in your pocket as there is no chance of creating anti-biotic resistant bugs or catching these from a hospital.

Every organ of the body has its own special frequency. The Lung resonates at 72 cycles per second, also known as Hertz. If the lung becomes infected its frequency will fall out of balance usually dropping a few Hertz. It has been discovered that by producing the same frequency as a healthy lung with a frequency generator we can rebalance the lung and induce healing. This process is called Bioresonance and can be used on all parts of the body.

There have been many researchers that have worked on energy medicine and Bioresonance this past century such as Dr. Rife, Dr. Voll, Dr. Schimmel, Dr. Morell and others. Some of the machines developed through the years run as high as 40,000 dollars.

The Russians have outdone everyone bringing this technology into medical and healthcare practices as well as into every home. Over the last 17 years, the Russian scientists, spearheaded by Dr. Konoblov, a medical doctor and Ph.D. physicist, have  developed small, portable devices that are innovative cutting-edge at only a fraction of the cost of previous generation machines.

Using pharmaceutical poisons just got that much more insane! Remember when cell phones came out or the personal computer? In five years, we will see everyone walking around not just with his or her cell phone but also with a safe therapeutic device that will put health empowerment back into the peoples’ hands.

The Russians conducted extensive studies on over 25,000 people and established an accurate system of analyzing and reinforcing energetic health of the organs, and their connection to specific areas on the skin (dermal-visceral zones). 


As a result of these devices’ action, a weakened organ receives energy needed for normal functioning, which is redistributed on a wide scale, restoring their workability. Thousands of people have been able to cut down on their dosages of medicines, and in some cases have entirely stopped taking them and have regained excellent health.

Gentle safe medicine just became a reality so doctors can now go back to the Hippocratic Oath that says: “First do no harm” when treating people. These gentle devices achieve exactly this – they can heal without being invasive and without causing harmful side-effects. The devices can be used with children and pets, and can therefore act as your “family doctor”

One of the most extraordinary claims coming out of Russia answers a long-standing problem in energy medicine and that is the problem of measuring results. They are claiming that the results can be confirmed by all well-known diagnostic methods. To date Deta Elis has developed more than 3,000 treatment programs, with an overall positive effect in many health problems in excess of 85%.

To my devoted readers and patients
This is my first communication to the western world about this rising technology. In January of 2014 these devices will also be manufactured in Germany making them much more accessible. The Russian business plan is a traditional multi-level-marketing model with Dr. George Georgiou Ph.D.,N.D.,DSc (AM), an expert in energy medicine and holistic medicine, at the very top in the English-speaking world selected to train doctors and practitioners in bioresonance testing and treatments.

This is perfect for those who want to make a business opportunity with this technology and is a good setup for practitioners who will be using the diagnostic machines and selling the treatment devices to patients. For a small taste of that, see this video of Deta Elis at their big celebration and award party. It is exciting and it is Russian.

It would also be worth watching this other 5-minute video about the company and their innovative devices –

No doubt when I publish this document there will be a rush to obtain this new technology. My patients from around the world will be given priority and then of course my readers, who will come under my banner with Deta Elis. Practitioners of every stripe are invited as well as patients who want to learn to use the Bioresonance approach on their own.

Treatment devices like the Deta AP and the Deta RITM are approximately 500 euros ($675 USD) each but even less expensive units will come next year with simpler design in a mini version with the ability to download your own frequencies for a wide range of ailments. Diagnostic machines start at 2,500 euros ($3400USD) and their most sophisticated combined diagnostic and treatment device the Deta Professional goes as low as 8,000 euro ($11,000 USD) – about one fifth of the price of similar units. You can see all of these devices at www.deta-elis-uk.com

Compare that to the cost of most medical equipment and drugs as well as therapies and one can see that the onetime startup cost for the consumer or practitioner is more than reasonable. Obama care, on the other hand, will undoubtedly fail as it should because it promotes the wrong type of medicine at obscene prices


Clothes Made of 3-D Printed Chainmail



3D printing was looking for the killer app and I suspect that we have just discovered it.  Materials will have to be designed and mastered, but the software solution is already to hand.  Presume every design can be processed this way and presume all imaginable textures can be produced.  The material can even be made as strong and as light as we desire.  Thus you pick the design you want, step into a measuring booth allowing the computer to produce a three dimensional model and let the system for the rest.  You receive a packaged tightly compressed garment that easily shakes out.

It that is not a billion dollar industry, I do not know what is.  Better, it is coming quickly.

I expect plenty of limitations but then with the size of the industry and natural reward already built in, change will come quickly.

However, your home printer can merely print off a simple gown or coverall every day if you want.  It may well be coming to that.  Remember Star Trek?

Look at These Clothes Made of 3-D Printed Chainmail

12.17.13


Nervous System, the Boston-based design firm founded by Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg has been making stylish, 3-D printed jewelry for years, but have just developed new design software that could shake up the 3-D printing market. Photo: Nervous System

It might be hard to believe, but 3-D printers are already passé. Sure, there’ll be a steady flow of cool hardware and neat materials in the years to come, but the reality is that low-cost 3-D printers are basically machines that are great at cranking out small plastic objects, very slowly. But they don’t have to be.

Nervous System, the Boston-based design studio known for combining biologically inspired aesthetics with additive fabrication has developed a new software tool called Kinematics that pairs 3-D printers with web-based design tools to create large, desirable objects in under an hour.

Kinematics was inspired by a commission from Google who wanted a stylish way to promote their uber-customizable Moto X phone. Their goal was to send a van around the country to demo the device and leave visitors with a 3-D printed souvenir. The challenge was that the tchotchkes had to be customized by the shoppers and printed in the vehicle while they received the sales pitch.

Nervous System was excited by the open-ended challenge, but knew that traditional prints would take far too long. They realized that by printing relatively flat designs with built-in hinges, parts could be folded into impressive structures, but printed in a fraction of the time. The result was a Javascript tool that allowed visitors to customize a chunky piece of jewelry via touchscreen and have it 3-D printed and assembled as they watched.

He believes Kinematics is a generalizable tool that can be applied to everything.

After Google 3-D printed their last tchotcke, Nervous System continued developing the software and upgraded to a larger, higher-resolution selective laser sintering 3-D printer that enables more adventurous geometries. Emboldened by the success of their jewelry, they decided to step up the fashion food chain and print entire dresses.

Each garment starts as a 3-D model, created in the traditional fashion. The Kinematics software then breaks the model down into triangular planes, flattens the now polygonal 3-D model into a glorified 2-D sheet, and adds hinges that allow the printed piece to be folded back into its original form like a giant piece of plastic origami. It then compresses the garment, reducing its volume by 85 percent, and sends it to the 3-D printer for fabrication.

The results are impressive and compare favorably to Iris Van Herpen’s 3-D printed haute couture and Victoria’s Secret’s rapid prototyped panties, but Nervous System cofounder Jesse Louis-Rosenberg believes we’re a long way to go before we’re printing our wardrobes. “Once we see 3-D printed fashion actually being worn at a real event by someone not as a 3-D printed thing, but simply as fashion, that will be a sign it is ready to go mainstream.” Instead, he believes Kinematics is a generalizable tool that can be applied to everything from wearables to sculptures. 3-D printer operators can try it out here.

New releases to the software will features options for building in locking mechanisms to stabilize the parts, alternatives to the bulky hinge mechanism, and developing new folding schemes that will help avoid the distinct polygonal feel many of the Kinematics pieces share. Eventually, Louis-Rosenberg would like to support printers capable of producing parts with multiple materials: “We are excited about the possibilities of combining hard and soft, conductive and insulating.”

Kinematics shares similarities with Hyperform, the inventive “4-D printing” process developed by MIT alum and TED Fellow Skyler Tibbets. Both tools radically expand the size of objects that can be printed on affordable machines, but Louis-Rosenberg is looking to solve an even bigger problem.

‘Design is the often neglected other half of making 3-D printing accessible.’

“A 3-D printer isn’t very useful if you can’t make anything for it to print,” says Louis-Rosenberg. “Design is the often neglected other half of making 3-D printing accessible.” Despite its importance, 3-D modeling software is expensive, difficult to learn, and apps that offer 3-D scanning as a solution often createmonstrous results. There is also the deeper issue that for all the democratization 3-D printers bring to the world, few people consider themselves designers. They might be able to put together a slick ensemble from Nordstrom, but given a sewing machine and fabric, they’d freeze.

Going forward, Nervous System wants their design tools to be engaging, fun even, and so far they seem to be on the right path. “Kinematics seems to have really clicked with people,” says Louis-Rosenberg. “It’s a great step towards engaging people in design and having consumers play a more active role in the things they own.”


2013 can easily be called the year of 3-D printing with Makerbot’s acquisition by Stratasys, the launch of the hi-def Formlabs Form 1—among countless new systems—as well as the torrid stock performance of more established companies. That said, 2014 is shaping up to be the year that software engineers develop tools that will put all these amazing machines to good use and actually deliver on the promise of next-generation manufacturing.

Paraguay and the Southern Cone




It is welcome to see steady progress in the Southern Cone.  This has taken years, but the magnet of a truly emergent Brazil has shortened all paths and the ancient problems are seen to be dissipating.   Outsider interpretations tend to be specious, including my own, but I do subscribe to historic inevitability.  The designation remains clear.

And while Western eyes are elsewhere, South America is finally getting on with their future with rapid growth setting in.

It has been a long wait.  Paraguay has huge oil potential in the Eastern part of the country.

Paraguay's diplomatic offensive is showing results


MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2013
BY PETER TASE AND MARTIN BARILLAS


Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes conducted his first official visit to the Vatican. Meeting with Pope Francis on November 25, Cartes broke little new ground since Paraguay (a predominantly Catholic country) has long had good relations with the Holy See. These bilateral relations only improved following the visit of Pope John Paul II to Paraguay in 1988.


Pope Francis and President Cartes held a private meeting for 30 minutes. After an exchange of gifts, Pope Francis met briefly with Cartes’ family members. The Paraguayan leader was  accompanied by his sister, Sarah, and his two daughters, Sofia and Maria Sol. Also attending were Foreign Minister Eladio Loizaga, General Secretary of Presidency Juan Carlos Lopez Moreira, and private secretary Fernando Ojeda.


In an indication of preferential treatment, the pontiff will meet with Cartes again on November 26 during a Mass to be celebrated in the chapel of the papal residence. 


For President Cartes this is the eight official visit since beginning his term in August  of this year. Unlike any previous Paraguayan president, Cartes has begun a vibrant, proactive and pragmatic foreign policy which is intended to bring benefits to Paraguay through international commerce, research and development, and the promotion of Paraguay’s image abroad as a country with abundant natural resources. His diplomatic campaign is intended to improve the current image of Paraguay has outside of the country.


Paraguay and MERCOSUR

Even though Cartes has been very active in promoting his nation’s potential in the Latin American region and Europe, Paraguay’s re-integration in the MERCOSUR is a process that requires its own time and is slowly advancing.  He has already visited Spain, which was his first diplomatic destination. He has also visited Uruguay and Brazil. According to foreign minister Loizaga, “It is logical that National Congress has a constitutional role to play in regards to Paraguay active role in the MERCOSUR regional trade Block. Especially in approving bilateral treaties and international agreements so that Paraguay could be fully re-incorporated in the international stage.”


During the previous government, Paraguay strongly objected to admitting Venezuela to the MERCOSUR regional trade alliance. This came about when Paraguay was summarily ousted from MERCOSUR after accusations emerged that former President Fernando Lugo had been illegally impeached. Since President Cartes has sought to mend fences with his immediate neighbors,  MERCOSUR member countries have shown some signs of respecting Paraguayan institutions and, particularly, its congress.


Lozaiga extolled the thawing of Paraguay’s relationship with neighboring Latin countries. “We are working with our partners: Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. We have worked on the lists (Ed. note: to make inroads with EU markets), but I say again that Paraguay will bring forward everything necessary, and that there is respect on the part of MERCOSUR member states for Paraguay’s position.” 


Relations between MERCOSUR and Paraguay appear to be on the way to normalization. However, so far there is no sign that Paraguay will attend the multilateral MERCOSUR conference to be held inVenzuela next month. No invitation has emerged from Venezuelan President Francisco Maduro.  Paraguay continues to maintain that the admission of Venezuela into MERCOSUR still needs the approval of Parguay’s congress. Earlier this month, Paraguayan foreign minister Lozaiga said “we are working to find a juridical solution with political backing”.


Paraguay continues to protest that its suspension from MERCOSUR, over the impeachment and removal of ex-President Fernando Lugo, did not follow the guidelines of the trading bloc. Venezuela was then given admission to MERCOSUR by three other full members (Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay) when Paraguay was suspended. Even while the Organization of American States validated the impeachment process, MERCOSUR called it a “congressional coup” orchestrated by Lugo’sopponents. That Uruguay’s leftist President José Mujica said of Venezuela’s admission to MERCOSUR that “sometimes political issues must overcome institutional situations,” has only validated the perception that Paraguay was a pawn in a regional tectonic shift to the left and away from the United States.


Paraguay is now surrounded by countries that have ticklish relations with the U.S. and that have shown increasingly independent stances. With a likely victory for leftist Michelle Bachelet in Chile presidential runoff election, a continuing veer to the left in the Southern Cone is in the offing. It was during the government under interim President Federico Franco – Lugo’s former vice-president – that relations with the U.S. improved. For example, closer cooperation emerged under Franco with the U.S. in areas such as narcotrafficking and terrorism, and trade. Now in office in August 2013, President Cartes has demanded Paraguay’s full re-incorporation into MERCOSUR, which respects Paraguay’s political processes, international law and MERCOSUR guidelines.


For now, Paraguay is actively conducting bilateral meetings with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, especially in the area of trade. Paraguayan businesses have loudly complained about what they consider unnecessary delays and harassment by Argentine customs officials that have had a negative impact on Paraguayan commerce, for example. Argentina’s President Cristina Kirchner, who has been closely aligned with Venezuela throughout her term, has been a vocal critic of Paraguay and its institutions and has managed to stir up nationalist sentiments in Paraguay with which it has had troubled relations ever since the fratricidal Tri-Partite War in the 1860s.

One area that may show results of Paraguay’s smile campaign came last week when the Bolivian Foreign Affairs Minister David Choquehuanco visited Cartes to discuss final details of a an agreement on supplying liquefied natural gas from the Andean republic.  Even while Bolivia and Paraguay went to war in the 1930s over petroleum reserves in Paraguay’s Chaco region, they do have commonalities. Both Bolivia and Paraguay have seen a resurgence of pride in their respective pre-Columbian national heritage and Amerindian languages; both are landlocked because of disastrous wars; and they share a common resentment towards countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, which are mostly Hispanic and European in orientation, and where Bolivian and Paraguayan nationals feel marginalized.

Imagining the Worst on Gold





So let us imagine the worst case scenario.  There exists a finite amount of gold in the world.  It is around 130,000 tons today having risen from 100,000 tons thirty years ago. 
It is possible to produce apparent good delivery gold bars by substituting a tungsten core in newly minted bars.  Google this blog for details. There is some reason to think this was done at Fort Knox during the nineties.  This would at least double the availability of bars for foreign delivery and storage.  Of course, one would simply use good delivery for foreign delivery and the other type for in house storage.  Thus the gold in storage in the USA could well be 80% missing and the balance simply undeliverable.

At the same time, this reserve has been used to earn interest by been used to back debt instruments as collateral and this easily could have been done through the banking system at least several times for every outstanding ounce.

In that circumstance real delivery becomes almost impossible, particularly with the Chinese scooping every available free ounce.  Whoever thought this was all a great idea is so f**ked as any old trader can tell you.  It really was just too easy.

Now you have a clear understanding of just how bad the news could be regarding gold, read this item.

A Year Later, The Bundesbank Has Repatriated Only 37 Tons Of Gold (Of 700 Total)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/24/2013


Procuring physical gold seems to be a rather problematic and time-consuming process, as the Bundesbank is learning.

Recall that it was almost exactly one year ago in mid-January, when the German central bank, in a shocking development expressing the bank's lack of trust in its central banking peers, announced that it would proceed with the repatriation of 700 tons of gold held by its "partners" the New York Fed and the Banque de France, by the end of 2020.

Since we had posted numerous articles on the topic of German official gold just prior to this announcement, many of which speculated about its quality and existence, it seemed like a shocking confirmation that the most hawkish of European central banks was taking its commitment to hard-money so seriously, especially after just weeks prior it swore up and down it has confident about its gold where it currently was.

This is what we said at the time:

There is no need to explain why this is huge news (for those who have not followed our series on the concerns and issue plaguing German gold can catch up hereherehere, here, and certainly here) . At least no need for us to explain. Instead we will let the Bundesbank do the explanation. The following section is the answer provided by the Bundesbank itself in late October in response to the question why it does not move the gold back to Germany:

The reasons for storing gold reserves with foreign partner central banks are historical since, at the time, gold at these trading centres was transferred to the Bundesbank. To be more specific: in October 1951 the Bank deutscher Länder, the Bundesbank’s predecessor, purchased its first gold for DM 2.5 million; that was 529 kilograms at the time. By 1956, the gold reserves had risen to DM 6.2 billion, or 1,328 tonnes; upon its foundation in 1957, the Bundesbank took over these reserves. No further gold was added until the 1970s. During that entire period, we had nothing but the best of experiences with our partners in New York, London and Paris. There was never any doubt about the security of Germany’s gold. In future, we wish to continue to keep gold at international gold trading centres so that, when push comes to shove, we can have it available as a reserve asset as soon as possible. Gold stored in your home safe is not immediately available as collateral in case you need foreign currency. Take, for instance, the key role that the US dollar plays as a reserve currency in the global financial system. The gold held with the New York Fed can, in a crisis, be pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral against US dollar-denominated liquidity. Similar pound sterling liquidity could be obtained by pledging the gold that is held with the Bank of England.

And in case the above was not clear enough, below is the speech Buba's Andreas Dobret delivered to none other than NY Fed's Bill Dudley in early November:

Please let me also comment on the bizarre public discussion we are currently facing in Germany on the safety of our gold deposits outside Germany – a discussion which is driven by irrational fears.

In this context, I wish to warn against voluntarily adding fuel to the general sense of uncertainty among the German public in times like these by conducting a “phantom debate” on the safety of our gold reserves.

The arguments raised are not really convincing. And I am glad that this is common sense for most Germans. Following the statement by the President of the Federal Court of Auditors in Germany, the discussion is now likely to come to an end – and it should do so before it causes harm to the excellent relationship between the Bundesbank and the US Fed.

Throughout these sixty years, we have never encountered the slightest problem, let alone had any doubts concerning the credibility of the Fed [ZH may, and likely will, soon provide a few historical facts which will cast some serious doubts on this claim. Very serious doubts]. And for this, Bill, I would like to thank you personally. I am also grateful for your uncomplicated cooperation in so many matters. The Bundesbank will remain the Fed’s trusted partner in future, and we will continue to take advantage of the Fed’s services by storing some of our currency reserves as gold in New York.

Incidentally, what Zero Hedge did provide after this article, was factual evidence that the Buba's very much "trusted partner" had been skimming it on physical gold deliveries on at least one occasion, in "Exclusive: Bank Of England To The Fed: "No Indication Should, Of Course, Be Given To The Bundesbank..."

So we wonder: what changed in the three months between November and now, that has caused such a dramatic about face at the Bundesbank....

* * *
The question of Buba's relationship with other central banks still remains open, however one thing we have just learned is the pace at which the German Central Bank has been able to repatriate its gold. It would make a snail proud.

Yesterday Buba head Jens Weidmann told Bild that gold valued at €1.1 billion has been repatriated so far. Putting a weight to this number: to date the Bundesbank has received shipments of a paltry 37 tons of gold from its existing storage place in either New York or Paris to Germany: "The gold reserves of the country will be stored in Frankfurt because it has a special storage with the corresponding equipment,” said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, a Bundesbank board member. 

The repatriated amount over the course of all of 2013 represents just over 5% of the total stated target of 700 tons, and is well below the 87.5 tons that the Bundesbank would need to repatriate each year if it were to collected the 700 tons ratably ever year in the 8 year interval between 2013 and 2020.

So the question begs: since the price of gold has tumbled in 2013 (according to many driven in part by the Buba's own demand, which would make procuring gold in the open market for the US and French central banks that much easier for subsequent dispatch to Frankfurt) and one would assume there would be many more sellers than buyers of physical, why would the Bundesbank not be able to obtain a far greater share of the gold? Unless, of course, neither New York nor Paris actually have free, unencumbered physical gold in their possession -with most of it leased out to various even closer "partners" - and are scrambling to procure as much physical as they can find at the new low, low prices (thank you paper gold ETF dumping).

However, a snag seems to have emerged: unlike in the "west" where momentum is the only driver of "value", buyers out of China (and of course India, especially when one considers the black market attempt to circumvent the Bank of India's capital controls on gold imports) are hoarding as much physical gold as they can get. Could it be that the Bundesbank is unable to repatriate more just because China is already buying up every marginal tons of physical gold in the market, and is making physical gold purchases by the Fed next to impossible?

In other words, is China now holding Germany's gold hostage, and if so when and what price would it release it to the New York Fed and the Banque de France? One look at just the pace of imports by China reveals that if indeed this is the case, then there may be a few snags in this hardly best laid plan of central bankers and men.



Yellowstone Supervolcano 'even more Colossal'





I really do not get any sense that Yellowstone is particularly dangerous.  It is not stacking up a massive cap in the form of a stratovolcano.  I find two cubic miles of rock towering two miles way more scary.  These things can literally vaporize.  When Mount St Helens blew, I found myself the only person concerned that a cubic mile of rock was rising into the sky at the rate of five feet per day.  This sudden expression of potential energy could only be released by kinetic energy and it was.

The massive chamber under Yellowstone is massive thermal energy that is obviously not been fed with too much water.  That will change only when Yellowstone is plunged into an ocean trough and water penetrates the magma chamber to produce a fresh island arc.  Right now we get natural thermal expressions and little else.

Prior venting produced a huge ash cloud whose volume obviously needs to be discovered.  Even then it likely lasted over a long period of time unlike the Mount St Helens eruption which was over quickly.  I would be more impressed by a thousand feet of nearby ash than a thin layer a thousand miles away.

In the meantime we have a huge lava chamber to map to our hearts content forever.  It provides a natural strategic thermal energy reserve if that works for us.

Yellowstone supervolcano 'even more colossal'

By Rebecca MorelleScience reporter, BBC World Service

10 December 2013 Last updated at 20:36 ET


Hot springs are surface evidence of the huge magma chamber that sits beneath Yellowstone
The supervolcano that lies beneath Yellowstone National Park in the US is far larger than was previously thought, scientists report.
A study shows that the magma chamber is about 2.5 times bigger than earlier estimates suggested.
A team found the cavern stretches for more than 90km (55 miles) and contains 200-600 cubic km of molten rock.
The findings are being presented at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
Prof Bob Smith, from the University of Utah, said: “We’ve been working there for a long time, and we’ve always thought it would be bigger... but this finding is astounding."
If the Yellowstone supervolcano were to blow today, the consequences would be catastrophic.
The last major eruption, which occurred 640,000 years ago, sent ash across the whole of North America, affecting the planet’s climate.
Now researchers believe they have a better idea of what lies beneath the ground.
The team used a network of seismometers that were situated around the park to map the magma chamber.
Dr Jamie Farrell, from the University of Utah, explained: “We record earthquakes in and around Yellowstone, and we measure the seismic waves as they travel through the ground.
“The waves travel slower through hot and partially molten material… with this, we can measure what’s beneath.”
The team found that the magma chamber was colossal. Reaching depths of between 2km and 15km (1 to 9 miles), the cavern was about 90km (55 miles) long and 30km (20 miles) wide.
It pushed further into the north east of the park than other studies had previously shown, holding a mixture of solid and molten rock.
“To our knowledge there has been nothing mapped of that size before,” added Dr Farrell.
The researchers are using the findings to better assess the threat that the volatile giant poses.
“Yes, it is a much larger system… but I don’t think it makes the Yellowstone hazard greater,” explained Prof Bob Smith.
“But what it does tell us is more about the area to the north east of the caldera.”
He added that researchers were unsure when the supervolcano would blow again.
Some believe a massive eruption is overdue, estimating that Yellowstone’s volcano goes off every 700,000 years or so.
But Prof Smith said more data was needed, because there had only been three major eruptions so far. These happened 2.1 million years ago, 1.3 million years ago and 640,000 years ago.
“You can only use the time between eruptions (to work out the frequency), so in a sense you only have two numbers to get to that 700,000 year figure,” he explained.
“How many people would buy something on the stock market on two days of stock data.”
In another study presented at the AGU Fall Meeting, researchers have been looking at other, more ancient volcanic eruptions that happened along the same stretch of continental plate that Yellowstone’s supervolcano sits on.
Dr Marc Reichow, from the University of Leicester, said: “We looked at a time window of between 12.5 to 8 million years ago. We wanted to know how to identify these eruptions and find out how frequently they happened.”
The team found there were fewer volcanic events during this period than had been estimated, but these eruptions were far larger than was previously thought.
Dr Reichow added: “If you look at older volcanoes, it helps to understand what Yellowstone is likely to do.”


Iceland - Example for a new American Revolution




The startling reality is that peaceful revolution has turned out to be far easier than the other kind.  The challenge is to persuade those in possession of guns to not take private advantage.  Once that is held back, it turns into a refusal to cooperate forcing the government to come to terms with the suddenly emergent ad hoc democratic committee.

This quickly evolves into elections.  In Egypt, the army is reducing the fascist Muslim Brotherhood and can then step back to allow elections for the rest that hopefully begins to throw up capable people.   They will too because the people have established bounds.

Most likely though, the USA has not reached a clear and obvious crossroads for a real revolution.  The damage is huge but the economy is deep also.  I do believe that we need a major overhaul of the financial system similar to the first overhaul in 1933.  Unfortunately the enemies of such uses false fears to block that overhaul and no one has the confidence of the electorate or the mob for that matter to effect real change.

Simply down loading the power of the fed to the state and big city level while settling the national debt would be simple and sufficient to turn it all around.   Notice we are already buying back the national debt.

Iceland - Example for a new American Revolution

Sunday, December 15, 2013 - The Gathering Storm by Daniel Martin Gray

WASHINGTON, December 15, 2013 — The throes of revolution in the Muslim Spring played out not just in public squares, but in social media. A Twitter revolt helped topple Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarek. This was followed by the rise to power of the only organized political force there, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Their heavy-handed radical Islamist regime was so unpopular that the military threw them out.

Covered in extensive and excruciating detail by America’s major media, (save the rapes, assaults and murders of women and Christians), we are expected to learn that overthrowing established government is a bad thing. That it’s better to keep the devil we know.

Their message is that only turmoil and tribulation result from removing the heavy hand of oppression; that either anarchy or another even worse tyrant will result.

But let’s “imagine,” for a moment, a peaceful revolution that worked.

Let’s start with a banking crisis like 2008, caused by greedheads in government and breathtaking risktakers in multinational megacorporations. Assume it was entirely intended, in order to cause critical consequences and cement even more power and money in the hands of elites.

Say that nationalizing industry and the banking system is fine, like our media and both major parties did. Play down the essential bankrupting of government by buying our own securities and monetizing the debt. Assume that government passed sweeping bailouts for banks “too big to fail”. Ramped up “benefit” payments to a populace thrown headlong from a workforce that deserted them, in order to drain their power and hook them on government largesse.

Posit a peaceful movement to undo the damage, that called bailouts a failure; called for jailing the ones who caused the mess in the first place. Sounds a lot like our own Occupy and Tea Party movements.

Picture a people so fed up they throw out a large percentage of incumbents, sending new faces pledged to serve freedom and fiscal restraint to the seats of power. America did this, too, spurning Democrats and RINOs in Congress and State governments in 2010.

Allow that this was insufficient to break the grip of entrenched elites. That they instead ratcheted up the forced march “forward.” That in their haughty hubris and secret fear of ordinary folks, they pushed for even more control, at the cost of human freedom. That more and more folks became disaffected with the powers that be, but were ignored and demeaned, instead.

Fine so far, that experience mirrors our own. Now, step into the unknown, at least unknown here at home. What if a mass movement put pressure on, and kept it up? What if their incessant and unyielding demands toppled yet more of the establishment? What if they formed a committee of average citizens, including a large percentage of the unaffiliated, and rewrote their Constitution?

What if they arrested, prosecuted and jailed the bankers whose actions caused the crisis, instead of rewarding them with fat paydays? What if their actions, entirely peaceful, restored liberty and fiscal sanity to their country?

This actually happened, you know. Or most likely, you don’t. Spectacularly unreported in American media, Iceland did all of those things. It was called the “Pots and Pans” revolution, because the protestors used those to make noise. They didn’t have to fire a single shot.

There is a reason the elites don’t want you to know. They would have you ignorant of the example. They like things the way they are. We don’t. And here in America, we have no need to rewrite a new Constitution. Our old one would work fine, if we but followed it.

Rise up, Americans! It’s time to take it all back! Time to regain liberty and the prosperity that ensues!

We can do this peacefully. Just remember, 300 million guns in the hands of 100 million Americans means would-be tyrants don’t dare risk their own necks for a fate far worse than a little jail time. For if they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind.
