SILVER STACKERS SWARM BULLION DEALER AS WAR ERUPTS!

SILVER STACKERS SWARM BULLION DEALER AS WAR ERUPTS! by Yankee Stacking.

Summary:

In this video my bullion dealer is swamped by both buyers and sellers of silver and gold as war erupts!  The lines grow quickly and the parking lot fills as silver buyers come from all across the state to see my bullion dealer!   A big drop in the spot price of silver and gold draws people in when the coin shop first opens and Tim can't leave until after 5:30 in the evening!  Is the war with Iran going to suppress the price of silver and gold or are we about to see a massive spike in the spot price of precious metals.  Silver usually goes down with the stock market on geo-political events, but this drop in spot price was a buying opportunity for these stackers.  Watch and see customers buy bullion from Tim Marschner of the Coin and Stamp Shop in what could be the beginning of a major war-driven volatility!  I also ask customers if President Trump's actions in Iran are "America First"!  These are unprecedented times requiring us to stack precious metals.  Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency.  Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

 

Dubai, Other Countries Attacked By Iran

Above, Asya last year in Dubai.

The crazies in Iran have launched missile attacks at other Arab countries in retaliation for the military action of Operation Epic Fury. This includes attacks on Dubai.

The last I heard from Asya, she was working in Dubai. I haven't heard from her in a while and I sent her a message to see if she's still there. 

According to the New Voice of Ukraine:

Images showed smoke rising over Tehran, and explosions were reported in five Iranian cities. Iran, in turn, launched ballistic missiles at Israel.

Israel dubbed its operation against Iran “Roaring Lion,” while the United States named its operation “Epic Fury.”

Explosions were also reported in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where one person was killed. The UAE Ministry of Defensesaid the country had come under a “blatant attack” involving Iranian ballistic missiles.

Explosions were also reported in Bahrain and Qatar, where U.S. military bases are located.

With the U.S., Israel military action against Iran, the world markets are keeping an eye what transpires. Some are jittery, some aren't.

Since we're in a new month, it is time to take a peek at how the U.S. dollar is faring against the Japanese yen for those who are planning to travel to Japan anytime soon.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Reportedly Killed

Iran's regime supreme leader Ayatollah has been reported killed in an Israeli air strike.

According to Reuters (via AOL):

Feb 28 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who turned the country into a powerful anti-U.S. force and extended its military influence across the Middle East while crushing repeated ‌domestic unrest, was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes, a senior Israeli official told Reuters on ‌Saturday.

There was no immediate Iranian confirmation of his fate.

The United States and Israel carried out military strikes on Iran on Saturday, targeting ​its top leaders and plunging the Middle East into a conflict that President Donald Trump said would end a security threat to the U.S. and give Iranians a chance to topple their rulers.

"Operation Epic Fury"

 

Iran refused to dismantle its nuclear program, despite warnings from President Trump that their refusal would lead to consequences.

Well, it has started. The U.S. and Israel have launched air strikes against Iran.

From the New York Post:

The US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning in response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program after weeks of negotiations —  targeting military infrastructure and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound in Tehran.

The attacks — which the Department of War called “Operation Epic Fury” — follow a massive US military buildup in the Middle East and come after President Trump repeatedly warned Tehran that it would face consequences if it didn’t make a deal with the US. 

Iran then launched missiles towards Israel in a retaliatory attack as officials claimed the response would be “crushing.” 

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,” Trump said in an eight-minute video address on Saturday.

Congressional Approval Not Needed

The only people mad about the capture of Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela are Russia, China, Iran and Democrats. Notice a pattern here?

There's a few panty waists around who whine that President Trump has to get congressional approval for this kind of operation.

Considering yesterday's news, this seems appropriate for a celebration.

Silver Spot Price In The 30s

The COMEX spot price for silver is now in the low 30s. The precious metal has been trending upwards for the past few weeks. 

Interestingly, the death of Iran's president and foreign minister seems to have carried gold and copper to record highs. Those metals are Iran's top exports. 

According to SchiffGold:

Amid ongoing tension in the Middle East, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the foreign minister have been confirmed dead Monday after a helicopter crash. The officials’ shocking demise casts additional investor doubt on a region already plagued by economic upheaval, with supply chain uncertainties fueling record-high metal prices this week.

Here's the current COMEX spot price for silver:

Product Placement: Chevy Truck Transports Soleimani Body Parts

Well, I guess the Iranians aren't that mad at the United States for blowing General Soleimani to atoms.

In commentary that only Rush Limbaugh can do, he pointed out (laughingly) something about the General's funeral:

RUSH: I made mention of the fact yesterday that General Soleimani was flown back to Tehran in a cardboard box.  There was no body.  There were body parts.  There was a hand with an identifiable ring.  Flown back there in a box that was laid out across three coach seats in the Iranian airline. 

Well, it turns out now that this coffin, Soleimani’s coffin was later put on the hood of a Chevrolet truck — not a Toyota, a Chevrolet truck — for part of his funeral procession.  So Chevy got some product placement here, edging out Toyota, which is the official truck vehicle for Middle East terrorists.

As Rush also said, "So it looks like Trump's mantra still stands: "Buy American!""

Trump: Iran Will Be Hit "Very Hard and Very Fast" If They Retaliate

Iran is learning that President Trump is no wimpy president of the order of a Jimmy Carter or a Barack Obama.

Trump Tweeted today:

Hollywood Loon Rose McGowan Hit With Backlash

Above, Rose McGowan.

Actress Rose McGowan really stepped into it when she Tweeted an apology to Iran for the drone strike that killed Iran's mastermind of terror. A big backlash by her Twitter followers blasted McGowan with some suggesting she move to Iran.

"Move to Iran" is trending on social media.

Newsweek reported:

Rose McGowan's tweeted apology to Iran early Friday morning was met with swift and harsh backlash on Twitter. 

"Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani," McGowan tweeted along with a gif of a waving Iranian flag. 

Her apology followed confirmation that President Donald Trump ordered the drone strike on Baghdad that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force. 

McGowan's message sparked instant outrage from Twitter users who pointed out Soleimani's controversial history of aligning with terrorist organizations in the Middle East and ordering the killing of Americans. The Pentagon also recently said Soleimani and the Quds Force were to blame for the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad on December 31. Some even suggested she move to Iran.

McGowan later tried to walk back her apology, saying she "freaked out", but even this was met with ridicule.

TRUMP'S RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FAILED LEADERSHIP

Donald J. Trump responded to President Obama's "unfit" remark of yesterday:

STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FAILED LEADERSHIP 

"Obama-Clinton have single-handedly destabilized the Middle East, handed Iraq, Libya and Syria to ISIS, and allowed our personnel to be slaughtered at Benghazi. Then they put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons. Then they allowed dozens of veterans to die waiting for medical care that never came. 

Hillary Clinton put the whole country at risk with her illegal email server, deleted evidence of her crime, and lied repeatedly about her conduct which endangered us all. They released criminal aliens into our country who killed one innocent American after another -- like Sarah Root and Kate Steinle -- and have repeatedly admitted migrants later implicated in terrorism. They have produced the worst recovery since the Great Depression. They have shipped millions of our best jobs overseas to appease their global special interests. They have betrayed our security and our workers, and Hillary Clinton has proven herself unfit to serve in any government office. 

She is reckless with her emails, reckless with regime change, and reckless with American lives. Our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores. We need change now." 

-Donald J. Trump

Secret Iranian Side Deal: Obama Is A Bleepin' Idiot!

If President Obama really thinks the Iranian nuclear deal is a great benefit to mankind, then he's a f*cking idiot!

A side deal has been revealed by the Associated Press that allows Iran to do their own inspections, with their own personnel and equipment.

According to Fox News:

Capitol Hill opposition to the Iranian nuclear deal was stoked Wednesday by a bombshell report that Tehran will be allowed to use its own experts to inspect one of the country's most controversial nuclear sites.  

"Allowing the Iranians to inspect their own nuclear sites, particularly a notorious military site, is like allowing the inmates to run the jail," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a presidential candidate, said in a statement.  

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that, in an unusual and secret agreement with the U.N. agency that normally carries out such work, Iran can use its own experts and equipment in the search for evidence for activities that it has consistently denied -- trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Rep. Brad Sherman Opposes Iran Nuke Deal

Above, Rep. Brad Sherman.

Readers of this blog know that I have had numerous disagreements with my area's U.S. Congressman, Brad Sherman. (Note: I did back Sherman two years ago in his election battle with Rep. Howard Berman.)

On occasion, Sherman has shown that he could be independent of his party's policy positions. I will continue to point out those positions where he's right, and those where he's wrong.

This week, Sherman announced that he will oppose the Iran nuclear deal recently negotiated by Secretary of State John Kerry. (See http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/aug/7/brad-sherman-defects-obama-iran-nuke-deal/)

Kudos to Rep. Sherman for opposing this bad deal.

U.S. Caves In To Iranian Nuclear Demands

Above, the Drudge Report's banner headline and a favorite ad of mine.

The idiocy of the Obama Administration knows no bounds. 

U.S. negotiators for a nuclear deal with Iran have caved in to Iranian demands.

According to the Washington Free Beacon:

LAUSSANE, Switzerland—The Obama administration is giving in to Iranian demands about the scope of its nuclear program as negotiators work to finalize a framework agreement in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the administration’s position in the negotiations. 

U.S. negotiators are said to have given up ground on demands that Iran be forced to disclose the full range of its nuclear activities at the outset of a nuclear deal, a concession experts say would gut the verification the Obama administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran. 

Until recently, the Obama administration had maintained that it would guarantee oversight on Tehran’s program well into the future, and that it would take the necessary steps to ensure that oversight would be effective. The issue has now emerged as a key sticking point in the talks. 

Concern from sources familiar with U.S. concessions in the talks comes amid reports that Iran could be permitted to continue running nuclear centrifuges at an underground site once suspected of housing illicit activities. 

This type of concession would allow Iran to continue work related to its nuclear weapons program, even under the eye of international inspectors. If Iran removes inspectors—as it has in the past—it would be left with a nuclear infrastructure immune from a strike by Western forces.a administration has vowed would stand as the crux of a deal with Iran.

Iran's "Old Ygor" Survives Hanging

Above, a publicity still of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff from "Son of Frankenstein."

Sometimes life imitates art.

The Washington Times reported:

A death row prisoner in Iran is to be hanged for a second time once he regains strength after he survived an earlier attempt. 

Alireza M, 37, was “put to death” at Bojnourd prison last Wednesday for drugs, but when his family went to collect his body at the morgue the next day, they noticed he was still breathing, the Daily Mail reported.

This reminds me of the Ygor character played by Bela Lugosi in Son of Frankenstein (1939) and reprised in Ghost of Frankenstein (1942). Ygor was a blacksmith in the village of Frankenstein who was hanged for grave-robbing ("Because I stole bodies, dey said," said Ygor in Son of Frankenstein). Ygor survived the hanging, but with a broken and deformed neck and was refused a burial. His "lifeless" body was thrown into the ruins of Henry Frankenstein's laboratory instead.

The Iranian in question may not be so lucky.

"The code word is imminent!"

To borrow a line from Thunderball (the movie version): "The code word is imminent!"

The Associated Press is reporting:

(02-27) 18:41 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) –

Israeli officials say they won’t warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions. The pronouncement, delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations, sets a tense tone ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and Capitol Hill.

Israeli officials said that if they eventually decide a strike is necessary, they would keep the Americans in the dark to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israel’s potential attack. The U.S. has been working with the Israelis for months to persuade them that an attack would be only a temporary setback to Iran’s nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered the message to a series of top-level U.S. visitors to the country, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the White House national security adviser and the director of national intelligence, and top U.S. lawmakers, all trying to close the trust gap between Israel and the U.S. over how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

What's flat and black and glows in the dark?

Iran.
