Dear Friends,
Please do not let spin, hatchet jobs, or any other means part you from your gold insurance. If I was nobody and my efforts were going nowhere there would never be attacks.
“This is it” is now behind us.
Pakistan is a disaster domino for Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran.
Pakistan is a master stroke for those whose battle strategy is to break Western capitalism and demolish the US dollar.
Economically, the West, but specifically the USA cannot afford any more wars on a simple dollar cost deficit spending basis.
Gold is your lifeline, so think hard and do your homework before you let your emotions force you to lose your grip on things.
Think about how India, with the population from the Tea Wallahs to the Prime Minister, love gold as a trustworthy bank will do when Pakistan goes total Taliban.
Stand tall and face this threat knowing what it means. Take care of yourself and do not waver.
Today seems quiet, but it is anything but.
As the sign in the park says incorrectly, the end is not near, it already happened.
Gold is your lifeline to more than just your financial needs.
Respectfully yours,
Jim
Clinton: Pakistan ‘Mortal Threat’ to World
Published: April 22, 2009 at 1:24 PM
WASHINGTON, April 22 (UPI) — Nuclear-armed Pakistan is becoming a “mortal threat” to the world, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday.
“Pakistan poses a mortal threat to the security and safety of our country and the world,” Clinton said. “And I want to take this occasion … state unequivocally that not only do the Pakistani government officials, but the Pakistani people and the Pakistani diaspora … need to speak out forcefully against a policy that is ceding more and more territory to the insurgents … .”
Taliban militants Tuesday took over the northwestern Pakistan district of Buner, just 60 miles from the capital of Islamabad. Militants were patrolling its streets with no signs of government law enforcement personnel, Pakistan’s English-language newspaper Dawn reported. The move came after the Taliban last week imposed Shariah, or strict Islamic law, in the neighboring Swat Valley as part of a peace agreement with the government.
“(We) cannot underscore the seriousness of the existential threat posed to the state of Pakistan by the continuing advances now within hours of Islamabad that are being made by a loosely confederated group of terrorists and others who are seeking the overthrow of the Pakistani state,” Clinton said.
“I don’t hear that kind of outrage or concern coming from enough people that would reverberate back within the highest echelons of the civilian and military leadership of Pakistan,” Clinton said.
Clinton Rallies Attention to Growing Extremist Threats in Pakistan
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today voiced alarm about a rising extremist presence inside Pakistan, which she said “poses a mortal threat to the security and safety of our country and the world” (see GSN, March 16).
“We cannot underscore the seriousness of the existential threat posed to Pakistan by the continuing advances — now within hours of Islamabad — that are being made by a loosely confederated group of terrorists and others who are seeking the overthrow of the Pakistani state,” Clinton testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
She noted that the risks are particularly heightened by the existence of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, which many analysts are concerned might fall into the hands of Islamic extremists should the central government be overthrown. Islamabad is estimated to have roughly 60 nuclear weapons.
“I don’t hear that kind of outrage or concern coming from enough people that would reverberate back within the highest echelons of the civilian and military leadership in Pakistan,” Clinton said.
In particular, she urged the Pakistani diaspora in the United States to “speak out forcefully against a [Pakistani] policy that is ceding more and more territory to the insurgents — to the Taliban, to al-Qaeda, to the allies that are in this terrorist syndicate” (Elaine M. Grossman, Global Security Newswire, April 22).
