TRUMP SIGNS BORDER WALL EXECUTIVE ORDER

 
This is President Trump’s third day in office. Let’s recap what he has done so far.
- Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Trans Pacific Partnership
- Trump met with Auto-CEOs and made clear he wants manufacturing jobs to come back to the U.S. The president said he plans to impose a high border tax, reduce regulations, and reduce corporate taxes from 35-percent to 15 or 20-percent.
- Trump is allowing Keystone XL and Dakota Access to move forward on construction
- After continuing to insist that he lost the popular vote because of voter fraud, Trump promised on twitter to investigate voter fraud. “I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!”
- Today Trump will sign executive orders to:
-- Begin funding and contruction of a wall along with Mexican border.
-- Restricting access to the U.S. of people from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.








 Gold and silver sold off hard this morning, with silver down .50 to a low of $16.75, and gold down $25 to a low of $1193.
With options expiration for February gold on Thursday, it appears the bullion banks are intent on capping gold under $1200.
Chinese markets are closed for the next week for Chinese New Year, and the Fed's FOMC Meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday, so caution is urged over this short term Triple Witching Week - particularly as the metals have just completed 6 weeks of nearly uninterrupted gains.
Platinum also sold off hard this morning, down 2.5% after a big rally to start the week, with the tiny market bursting over $l,000/oz, likely triggered by investment demand due to the US Mint's launch of the 2017 Platinum Eagle coins.
The Mint released 20,000 coins Monday and Tuesday - matching 2016's small production - which triggered a mad scramble among wholesalers and retail dealers to source inventory, and saw wholesale premiums soar for the coins.
The Mint advised Authorized Purchasers that it will make a decision at a later point regarding a second small production of the famous platinum bullion coins during the second half of 2017.
also I'd mention DOW passing 20,000 today markets wise

Trump is not a Career Politician -- Mike Rivero

What Really Happened Show: Michael Rivero Tuesday 1/24/17



--

-- Date: January 24, 2017 -- THE SHOW The What Really Happened radio show is an adjunct to the http://whatreallyhappened.com website. The show broadcasts from Oahu, Hawaii through the Republic Broadcasting Network. The show and website are non-partisan and chastise the lying and corrupt of all political parties with equal enthusiasm! What Really Happened is opposed to war as a presumed fix for the struggling US economy, and also takes an occasional look at issues of science and health being distorted in the quest for profits. THE HOST Michael Rivero is the host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network and webmaster of whatreallyhappened.com, now in its 22nd year. Both the radio show and website enjoy a large and growing global audience. He is a frequent guest on talk-radio and has appeared in television programs such as History Channel’s “America’s Book of Secrets.” Michael Rivero’s background is as eclectic as his radio show and website. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as a child actor) into the then-new computer animation field, starting with award winning commercials, then working on films such as “Star Trek”, “The Day After Tomorrow”, and later supervising visual effects on “Brainscan”, “LOST”, and “Hawaii Five-0”. Michael Rivero has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michael Rivero’s foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the murder of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster.Since that abrupt beginning, What Really Happened, both website and radio show, has expanded to cover diverse topics including the assassinations, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddam’s non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and the ongoing propaganda used to trick the American people into wars of conquest in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and other nations. Michael Rivero currently resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer, choir conductor, and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show, as well as occasionally participating as a commentator.

4 Possibilities for the Meaning of LIFE

 If you believe all those heart-warming memes your lonely aunt shares on Facebook, you might think that the meaning of life is to just enjoy it, to obey god. to live, to laugh, to love. Oh please, someone choke me to death right now will you? Narration provided by JaM Advertising New Mexico www.tasteofjam.comThe idea that life has been made to be observed relates to the concept of the simulated universe, and at its heart, it claims that the purpose of life as we know it has been decided by a higher power. But it isn't God.The problem with the last entry on simulation theory is that it doesn't give meaning to the life which supposedly created our virtual world. Even if you accept that your place in the universe is insignificant, this doesn't mean that you don't matter. A more satisfying idea regarding the meaning of life is that everyone and everything has a specific purpose, and if you think about this idea biologically and statistically, it kinda rings true.
