Dear Ten Percent

You will enjoy. Link here.

Interview with Eric Sprott

On this link. Click the little man icon to the left of Sprott's photo to download the 39 minute interview (Sprott starts talking at 2:25, so skip the intro and get to the paydirt). Here's the promo blurb to whet your appetite:

Eric Sprott has over 35 years of experience in the investment industry and manages roughly $5 billion. Eric has been stunningly accurate in his writings for quite some time and is one of the highly respected industry professionals who foresaw the current crisis and chronicled the dangers of excessive leverage as well as the bubbles the Fed was creating while correctly forecasting the tragic collapse we are all enduring. In this interview Eric discusses the stock market, bond market, inflation, deflation, gold, silver, gold stocks, consolidation in the gold sector, the economy, the US Dollar, paper currencies globally, tax revenues going down, layoffs in US government jobs in states, oil and much more.

And here's the link again, just in case. h/t to reader DQ for the link.

Brazil elections: Serra leads

José Serra (for it is he)

Here's the latest voter intention poll for Brazil's Presidential election, set for October 3rd:


Major newspaper Folha de S. Paulo commissioned the survey taken this week from Datafolha, and put SP's governor in the lead (and up from 32% in a poll last month that was also ran by Datafolha). Lula's PT party candidate Dilma Rousseff scored 27% this week (a point down from last month's 28%), with Brazil socialist Party's (PSB) Ciro Gomes on 11% and the Green Party candidate Marina Silva on 8%.

Put me on record today: I say Rousseff wins this election.

Riddle me ree

So, this month a journalist gets murdered in cold blood in Colombia and nobody hears about it up North.

Five journalists are murdered in the month of March 2010 in Honduras, but word doesn't make it to the outside world via MSM.

But one journalist is arrested and then freed a few hours later in Venezuela and Simone Rosemary thinks it's the most important story of the week and worthy of publication in The New York Times. No mention of reporters getting their lives abruptly ended in US-friendly countries, but hey....this guy opposes Chávez and was held for...like...seven hours.

Why is that? Really, why the f*** do you report LatAm like this, you piece of crap hack?
