Hundreds of cell phones have been purchased from WalMarts in small towns in MO this past week or so. Macon, Ava, Lebanon, Cape Girardeau and one other town, can't remember it at the moment.
All middle eastern men. It's been on our local news but no one is putting two and two together and possibly linking those purchases with the propane and O2 canisters stolen and the remote controlled cars that were stolen.
The police were called in all of the cases but they said no crime was committed and let them go but did contact the FBI each time.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck!

The 'Enemy Within' is letting the various things happen. Another beauty from Steve Quayle. LTC Peters was right.

Trump was genius last night explaining to Jeb how GW flew the Bin Laden family back to Saudi Arabia after the Twin Towers came tumbling down. No one else on the stage would have been able to state this. 9/11 was a huge false flag.

Now I'm not being pessimistic here but this UN guy could be explained...granted his title is bad enough..we have delegates from the UN visiting our government daily for just about anything...and even though the videos were entertaining they did not give light to what needed to be said...if this UN guy was here to oversee training operations or OPERATIONS...then there would be several of them and they would be and are escorted everywhere by secret service. Ole boy with the video camera would have never gotten that close, period. Here's what I would freak out on, if there was a joint training mission on US SOIL WITH NATO/UN FORCES IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. imagine the implications if Obama used all these "allied forces" at once during a training exercise against us. If done right there would be at least 500 thousand troops plus navy and air capabilities, possibly armored vehicles such as tanks..and it would only be conducted on the coast based military bases. I would imagine not the west coast because of the seismic threats, but that is your best bet for training in desert operations, I've been there three times for the USMC, that's where it goes down at. On the other hand, the east coast would give you a more rural, swampy, mountainous terrain to fight, whoops I mean train in....i doubt we would see an invasion during our most harshest months for weather but if you wait till spring time..that's fair weather to fight in..just some thoughts..I could go on and on..

Evidently we have UN observers in our country. The following is from Steve Quayle's alert section.

Djbrow mentioned "attacks by white male Christians" and bowslit distorted that to "Christian terrorist attacks."
"Terrorist" Osama bin Laden launched an attack on the United States (a country that DOES possess WMD's and so the attack is justified by Babushka's own criterion) and killed nearly 3,000 people, mostly Christians.
"President" Babushka, a white born-again Christian, launched an attack on Iraq because he claimed they possessed WMD's and therefore the attack was justified in his delusional mind. Over 140,000 Iraqis, mostly Muslims, are dead and Babushka has never uttered an apology. Apparently Muslim lives don't matter to a sociopath like him.
The President is obviously a greater mass murderer unless Christian lives matter and Muslim lives do not. American bombers following Babushka's commands certainly reigned plenty of terror on Iraqis.

Let's see your list of Caucasian terrorist attacks in the last 100 years excluding Bavaria.
I actually was simply referencing attacks in general. But I suppose one could also use terrorist attacks, although your far right wing does not like to use the term 'terrorist' when it involves the shooting of say, an abortion doctor by one of your fellow brainwashed righties.
Anyway, I'll let you google the answer for your knowledge.

Although I very much disagree with your assessment on Bush, your statement above is the recruiting tool used by the terrorists.

I spoke with several militia leaders from around the states yesterday after I got wind of what's going on in Oregon. None of them agree with what's taking place out there, more especially how they are doing it not so much as to the why they are all there. Steve I have solid intel that there is at least one or more double agents in this "militia" group that has taken over the federal building. The fact that FBI is out there first kind of gives the false flag narrative an ace in the hole. This is not how we win the freedom movement. Now the National Guard is being sent out there. These guys who took over the federal building are not true militia, this is a rogue group of extremely dangerous people that are being herded to one spot, away from people, maybe for their promised gun battle. It's all too convienent for me to believe. This group claims they are going to occupy this place for years, and logistically that will never happen once the power, water, and food supply are cut off. This group out there wants a gun battle with the feds...they are openly stating this. They may just get their chance. This plays exactly into what Obama wants.Dot you think it's interesting that this happend the last year of Obama's reign? MARINE/ACTIVE-LEO--(UPDATE 8:00 AM--Two things about this story, first the 41st infantry brigade of the Oregon National Guard was sent to help the FBI deal with this threat from this faux militia. They sent the infantry, not negotiation specialist. They know a fight is coming. That tells me this is a staged event. Second thing is that the "militia" is being portrayed as all "white men"... who I'm sure are "Christian"...so there you have it. White Christian Men Armed with military style assualt rifles are attempting to over throw the federal government. What???? Did some one just combine all the talking points on CNN, Salon and the White House and decide to make a play? Sure seems like someone is pulling the strings here and it isn't these so called “patriots)".

loved the cspn coverage of chuck the smucks questioning the lawyers in the group defending Koresh asked chuck- can y give me a reason why these are not guilt of these crimes, lawyer -they were acquitted of all charge, chuck- so criminals aren't always found guilty, lawyer you asked a reason I answered you question. chuck mouth agapes couldn't reiterate it was a classic.
reality thy want to pander to lobbyists at aspca they want park expanded so that more and more land can be closed to public use mainely hunting black tail deer this is an environmental coup of lands these people have hunted used a took water from since the Oregon Trail was struck.

The following is the take down of a Dave Hodges interview with Ammon Bundy located at the federal building in Oregon.
“At the bottom of the hour, we are scheduled to interview Ammon Bundy. We fear that the feds will interfere with our broadcast as they have so many times before. However, we have always been able to record and interview and play it later on the archives. If we lose communications with our satellite provider, we will be posting the archives on Monday morning. The feds will not be allowed to keep the message from Ammon Bundy from going out.”
These were famous last words from myself. The federal government’s takedown of the show was utterly complete and effective. I received a message from the producer, “I am phoning Ammon now”. Then there was complete silence.
Because of the size of my audience, my show is carried on two separate satellites in two different states. They were both taken down at the same time. We also have a listen by phone option which is independent of the satellite, it was taken down. We have six phone lines which are landlines, they were all taken down. Nothing related to our satellite provider was left intact. This was an attack simultaneously carried out on multiple fronts.
Somebody pointed out that the Oregon Patriots had been interviewed in the previous days. However, they were only interviewed by FOX , CNN and the other corporate controlled media. The Obama administration does not want Ammon Bundy to tell his story to a talk show host who will not steer the conversation into the desired propaganda zone.
At the exact same time that The Common Sense Show was taken down, all communications within the Bundy camp were also taken down as well. There was not going to be any communications allowed between Dave Hodges and Ammon Bundy, if the Obama

This is a bit more resources than needed to cut communication.
a complete communication shut down from so many different providers is only used when they classify a group as a "Domestic Terrorist", this approach is not unheard of but very rare .
I will be surprised if all the tapes format and media isn't seized before any becomes public.
but I will reiterate this statement. They feel they got a angry hornet in a jar. they are not going to remove the Lid.
and going against the federal government in an open field with rifles is suicide by army.

Hold on to your wallets. The following is from Steve Quayle. China tells banks not to by dollars.
In a stunning move, China has suspended some banks from Foreign Exchange markets and ordered other banks to stop buying Dollars.
While three sources for this story claim they were told that this is an effort to stem the outflow of capital, a different source says something altogether different is taking place: the belief in China that the US Dollar is now worthless and will soon totally collapse as a currency, leaving everyone who holds dollars, broke. That's why China is doing everything it can to shed US Dollar currency. The way it's being done, however, is a "useful guise" for the Chinese to prevent the collapse from taking place too early and leaving them stuck with trillions in useless US dollars.

The following from Dave Hodges could be what leads the world to economic catastrophe.
The BDI Is At a Record Low
Unfortunately, the BDI, has just dropped another 3.1% to a new record low of 402. To anyone who knows anything about economics, it is clear that the end of this financial era is quickly coming to an end.
America is the land of the 3000 mile salad. Virtually everything we consume, wear and use is shipped thousands of miles. The BDI measures the volume of shipments on a global scale. If the volume of shipment was any lower, nothing would be shipped. Could you write the ending to this? Can you even imagine mass starvation and civil unrest of unprecedented proportions?
This Sunday night, on The Common Sense Show, I am interviewing prominent farmers who are going to reveal something that the federal government and MSM will not tell you. Namely, 15% of all American farmers will not be producing food for sale during 2016 because of the onerous federal restrictions placed upon our food producers. In short, they are quitting the business. To those that are still producing food, they are going to have trouble shipping the food. Why? Because the credit that is needed to borrow money for the common purpose of shipping to market is greatly diminishing. As shipping and manufacturing continue to crumble, we are going to see shortages in America that we have never seen.
When the crisis become acute, only days to months away, currencies across the planet will collapse and no product will move. This is the stuff that starvation, mass food riots and martial law are made of. We are about to see suffering in this country on an unprecedented scale

I can see the argument made in china it produces 25% of the food the population consumes. and the deserts of North Africa seems have a problem growing even a cactus.
USA doesn't have a problem growing food. It doesn't have a problem shipping food and distributing it. It offers such abundance that it can give massive amounts of grain away. (the basis of all food), everyone points their figure wall street for the great depression but no one seems to notice the dust bowl during that same era in the Midwest .
unless a serious drought pending for our heartland . then this is propaganda

The following is a reason it might not be propaganda.
Endangered since 1993, the plankton-eating silver minnow is blamed by farmers, lawmakers and water officials up and down the Golden State for locking down billions of gallons of water that otherwise would go to them. That's because, since the smelt's listing as a protected species, biologists have tried saving the fish, in part, by withholding fresh river runoff annually to maintain smelt-friendly temperature and salinity levels.
Farmers and downstate cities -- already suffering the effects of the drought -- claim that water was allocated to them, and withholding it for a fish with no commercial purpose is bad policy.

California has just had 16 inches of rain in the nov-now period.
if large energy wasn't just dumping this excess . their would be plenty . like wise the sierra has snow comfortable level of snow.
but the state was built on shortages . and having excess is not a good thing to monopolies . water script have been traded there since the gold rush. just different companies in different era doing what they do pretending there is some shortage .

The following is a Baltic Dry Index update. This measure is dropping like a lead balloon.
For the first time ever, the Baltic Dry Index has fallen under 400. As I write this article, it is sitting at 394. To be honest, I never even imagined that it could go this low. Back in early August, the Baltic Dry Index was sitting at 1,222, and since then it has been on a steady decline. Of course the Baltic Dry Index crashed hard just before the great stock market crash of 2008 too, but at this point it is already lower than it was during that entire crisis. This is just more evidence that global trade is grinding to a halt and that 2016 is going to be a “cataclysmic year” for the global economy.
If you are not familiar with the Baltic Dry Index, here is a helpful definition from Wikipedia…
The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is an economic indicator issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange. Not restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the index provides “an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials by sea. Taking in 23 shipping routes measured on a timecharter basis, the index covers Handysize, Supramax, Panamax, and Capesizedry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal,

^ this one is concerning for commodities like money must flow move to be useful.
example you may purchase 500 tons of steel for japan and bought the commodity in Canada but if the cargo isn't physically loaded and shipped its meaningless what it id was tie up your monetary recourse and not be ale to physically manufacture a car recoup the investment.

With regard to the train freight article this morning, we have in Grand Junction, CO., literally hundreds of engines sidelined on the tracks. They are three deep on some tracks and easily number over 250. I have never seen this many engines on the tracks before and I feel this is just another indicator of the slowdown in shipping. I will get a video and send it to you for your archives.God bless. Time is short.
IN REGARD TO THE RAILROAD ARTICLE, THIS IS A COMMENT FROM A FRIEND. I HAD HIM REMOVE HIS CREDENTIALS, SORRY, BUT I HAD TO.
The last two years which were booming, and being so they hired a bunch of conductors and ordered 300 new. There are 9 divisions in my RR, where there were 10 just a month ago. They shut down two large terminals there Erwin, TN and Corbin, KY and then had the surrounding divisions absorb what was left. That division's [the Huntington Division] main freight was coal. We are all obviously aware of the furloughs and their deepening situation. The official told us about how we unfortunately ordered all of those locomotives and need to pay for them because of the contract with GE. In my terminal alone we have approx. 50 mothballed engines (our term for locomotives) and I know they are everywhere.... I have been with this RR since 04' and learned that the RR feels the burden of the economy before the rest of the nation. Always watch the RR.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO IN THE LORDS SERVICE

Read today’s alerts about the current state of the RR industry. This is in line with what I’ve been noticing as I visited our local/regional grocery store, Walmart, and Target this week in WI. I worked in big box retail for 20 years specializing in Inventory Management. These stores are all using computerized inventory management systems that monitor and automatically replenish inventory when levels/shelf stock get low. This prevents “out of stocks” and lost sales. These companies rely on the ability to replenish inventory quickly from regional warehouses.
As I shopped this week and looked at inventory levels I was shocked. There were numerous (above and beyond acceptable levels) out of stocks across category lines at all three retailers. And even where inventory was on the shelf, the overall levels were noticeably reduced. Based on my experience, working for two of these three organizations in store management, they have drastically/intentionally reduced their inventory levels. This is either due to financial stresses/poor sales effecting their ability to acquire new inventory, or it could be the result of what was mentioned earlier regarding the transporting of goods to these regional warehouses. Either way this doesn’t bode well for the what’s to come.
I'd like to tailgate on the SQ Alert "based on my experience..." regarding stock levels in big box stores. This weekend we were in two such stores, each in fairly isolated communities which are easily the communities' best source for acquiring grocery items in quantity.
I myself worked in retail (meat) for thirty years so I know exactly what a well stocked store looks like, understand the key categories and category drivers, and how shelves are stocked and displays are built to drive sales and profits. I also understand supply chain and distribution methodologies quite well.
Each of the stores we were in were woefully under-stocked. This time of year-the few weeks following the holidays-is usually big business in groceries and low stock levels suggest either poor ordering at the store level, poor purchasing at the distribution level or a purposeful desire to be under-stocked.
Anyone familiar with the retail grocery industry is also familiar with how highly touted "the big box store's" infrastructure is. They know exactly when demand is high and for what items and in what quantities. It is very unlikely that both stores somehow got "surprised" by unusually high demand. It is reasonable then to imagine that low stock levels in rural areas with few options is a purposed endeavor to assure that both the budget conscious and the folks in more remote areas are not fully able to load up their pantries.
Simply put I believe the major retailer in question is doing their part to limit the ability of rural America to be sufficiently prepared. Nevertheless, we are wise to do our best to keep ahead of the curve. God bless your efforts, Steve.
Read today’s alerts about the current state of the RR industry. This is in line with what I’ve been noticing as I visited our local/regional grocery store, Walmart, and Target this week in WI. I worked in big box retail for 20 years specializing in Inventory Management. These stores are all using computerized inventory management systems that monitor and automatically replenish inventory when levels/shelf stock get low. This prevents “out of stocks” and lost sales. These companies rely on the ability to replenish inventory quickly from regional warehouses.
As I shopped this week and looked at inventory levels I was shocked. There were numerous (above and beyond acceptable levels) out of stocks across category lines at all three retailers. And even where inventory was on the shelf, the overall levels were noticeably reduced. Based on my experience, working for two of these three organizations in store management, they have drastically/intentionally reduced their inventory levels. This is either due to financial stresses/poor sales effecting their ability to acquire new inventory, or it could be the result of what was mentioned earlier regarding the transporting of goods to these regional warehouses. Either way this doesn’t bode well for the what’s to come.
I'd like to tailgate on the SQ Alert "based on my experience..." regarding stock levels in big box stores. This weekend we were in two such stores, each in fairly isolated communities which are easily the communities' best source for acquiring grocery items in quantity.
I myself worked in retail (meat) for thirty years so I know exactly what a well stocked store looks like, understand the key categories and category drivers, and how shelves are stocked and displays are built to drive sales and profits. I also understand supply chain and distribution methodologies quite well.
Each of the stores we were in were woefully under-stocked. This time of year-the few weeks following the holidays-is usually big business in groceries and low stock levels suggest either poor ordering at the store level, poor purchasing at the distribution level or a purposeful desire to be under-stocked.
Anyone familiar with the retail grocery industry is also familiar with how highly touted "the big box store's" infrastructure is. They know exactly when demand is high and for what items and in what quantities. It is very unlikely that both stores somehow got "surprised" by unusually high demand. It is reasonable then to imagine that low stock levels in rural areas with few options is a purposed endeavor to assure that both the budget conscious and the folks in more remote areas are not fully able to load up their pantries.

Steve, just wanted to drop a line to confirm the economic data you have posted as being spot on. As you know I'm in the transportation industry as a owner of a small fleet. I can tell you for sure that I have seen a stunning drop in the freight base. In my case, about 37% off from a year ago. In fact the closest margin in my record show a parallel to 2008. The recent dallas fed numbers in your latest article match what I'm seeing, as Texas is one of my largest freight lanes. Many of my friends in the business are telling me they are seeing the same thing. This is in all types of freight. Dry van, flats, heavy haul. Monday, one of my biggest accounts released an available loads list, (one of the largest trailer manufacture in america) the entire list was gone in 7 minutes. This was only the third list this year, normally I get one every other day from this customer. Bottom line is I have begun to park all unnecessary equipment, and minimize all I can to prepare to ride out the storm. From what I can see, it's gonna get real ugly this year. I hope all your readers take heed and get ready, if transport collapses, the nation collapses. If you got it, a truck brought it. God bless and keep you. Ken

From Steve Quayle. Looks like huge headwinds economically as we move forward in 2016. It 'might' be a good idea to stock up on food and supplies.
