On the Edge with JS Kim on Global political issue of owning gold & silver

Hmm the third Western analyst featured on this blog based in Thailand, the others being Marc Faber (since 1973 apparently) and Richard Duncan. Maybe they are onto something, perhaps I should join them and talk Max and Stacy into relocating, we could form a Popular Front and meet in secret at the British club in Bangkok.

In this edition of the show Max interviews J.S Kim from smartknowledgeu.com. He talks about the Asian economies and precious metal currencies, as well as plans by Germany to force European nations to use their gold reserves as collateral. J.S Kim has an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and two master degrees (a Master in Public Policy and a Master in Business Administration) from the University of Texas at Austin. In 2005, dissatisfied with the ethics of the commercial investment industry, J.S. Kim left the corporate world behind to launch SmartKnowledgeU™.



The Gold and Silver coin video Max and Kim where referring to was actually filmed in Indonesia, not Malaysia. I have included the video below (actually it has been on this blog;s favourites list for almost 2 years).

George Galloway on Julian Assange and Wikileaks

Aug 17, 2012 by

British Foreign Secretary William Hague has said that the UK will not allow safe passage to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to leave the country after Ecuador granted him political asylum. Assange, founder of the anti-secrecy website Wikileaks, released giant troves of secret US documents on Iraq and Afghanistan wars in 2010. Moreover, following the release of documents, Bradley Manning, a US army soldier, was arrested in Iraq on suspicion of having passed the classified documents to Wikileaks in May the same year. Assange and Manning have been targeted by the US government as criminals since then.

Earlier in June, Assange requested political asylum at Ecuador's embassy in London to avoid his extradition to Sweden, where he was accused of sexual offences. On August 16, 2012, Ecuador's government granted asylum to Assange after Britain threatened to storm Ecuadorian embassy and arrest Assange. Supporters of Assange have spent the night outside the Ecuadorian embassy protesting against the UK Police forces' threat to arrest him, media reports said.
