    From the accounts I read I, have always assumed that the NY gay community was probably targeted by biowarfare and that helped get it going. I agree with Jon that it has become a cover story from a much wider phenomenon.

    I noted that Charles Hugh Smith, on Bill Moyers’ show in July, included the word “revolution” in his recommendation for citizens to change our situation. With the future “see all, know all” police state that appears to be quietly here and may noisily be here in the near future, your message for us seems to be doesn’t step over the appearance of even getting near a revolution line in the sand. I totally agree. I have not read Mr. Hughs new book so I might be over stating where his line in the sand is.

    You are so gracious in your discussions. “Why don’t you just say it?” as Franklin says. I’d appreciate a discussion about Doing Decentralization and personal power withoug the negative versions of revolution.

    Team Solari, you keep me challenged to be my best,

  4. I’m going to need to map out the complex solutions to the chem spraying.
    I hope you can provide a deeply developed matrix of issues to include.

    Hope you have time for book writing.

  6. Maybe Franklin would comment on Prof. Joseph Farrells’ breakaway civilization comment from 9/6/12 at minute 53:

    “that gold reserves are massively obviscated” I presume a 20% increase in world reserves would be digested and recovered from within 3-6 months?

    And my question abuot 9/11 Building 7’s vault was empty…where do you send so much gold?

    Thanks,
    Brad

  7. Could you run this by Franklin:
    I just visited my local coin shop for the first time in over a year. I asked to buy two gold coins with cash and they asked me for ID. I explained that I thought someone could buy $5000 without any reporting requirements and they said, no its $2500. I said, “ok, may I buy one coin”. They said only if I provided ID. That kind of ended the conversation.

    So, the questions for Franklin are:
    (a) What are the limits on acquiring precious metals without the purchases being traced by the authorities. Can you increase the limits by dealing with multiple vendors? Is there a way to do these things non-local vendors (like Franklin’s). What kind of payment would be used?
    (b) What is the recommended method for acquiring significant precious metals savings over a multi-year period with as little traceability as practicable. Have things tightened up to the point where untraceable large acquisitions (say enough for a very modest retirement) are not feasible anymore?
    (c) There must be similar reporting requirements on an individual selling precious metals. Of course, the individual must report the transaction himself from an IRS standpoint if there has been a capital gain, but what about the requirements for a vendor purchaser? Will an individual be asked for ID and is the vendor required to report even single coin purchases?
    (d) Are there any requirements on the individual for reporting other than keeping records of the buy and sale dates and amounts? Do they need to keep official receipts from the counter parties of each transaction?
    (e) Is there any kind of organization that tracks the changing government requirements and keeps their membership informed. I’m thinking of something like an NRA for precious metals. If there is no convenient place like this, might yourself or Franklin provide a web page with information on this and links into federal statutes and/or the IRS web site as references?

    Of course this fits into the general theme of “no more privacy, Big Brother’s cameras / computers are watching everything you do, everyone you talk to, every place you go”. I see this trend accelerating with no signs whatsoever of any return. Google, facebook, all these Internet guys are making it harder and harder to do things without a real-name and I expect the NSA is already quite adept at matching up internet “handles” to real people anyway.

    Well, if Franklin is uncomfortable dealing with these questions could you find another expert to provide an opinion?

    Seems like something you and/or Franklin could prepare for this and it could be a major topic for the next precious metals report.

    Thanks much,
