Golden Arrow Resources (TSXV: GRG; US-OTC: GARWF) is best known for its Chinchillas silver-lead-zinc project in Argentina’s Jujuy province, but the prospect generator also has properties in the country’s San Juan and La Rioja provinces, and is now extending its reach into Catamarca province in an option deal to acquire a silver and base metals project called Antofalla.
“It’s one of the ones that we’ve had our eye on for a couple of years,” says Brian McEwen, the company’s vice president of exploration and development. “You can see this large area of alteration at Antofalla and we started looking at it on Google Earth two or three years ago.“
Anti-Trump Delegates Disrupt Republican Convention
Request for convention rules vote denied
by Robert Schroeder
Market Watch
CLEVELAND (MarketWatch) — Anti-Donald Trump delegates tried and failed to force a roll call vote on rules of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday, disrupting the convention on its first day but failing to derail the real-estate mogul’s path to the nomination.
It was effectively the end of the “Never Trump” movement, which had mounted an effort to keep Trump from winning his party’s nod. Delegates opposed to Trump wanted changes to the rules, which would have allowed them to vote their conscience.
The convention was briefly thrown off course just hours into the event, reflecting the tension in the party as it prepares to officially name the controversial Trump its standard-bearer. Watch the scene on the floor:
It’s War
by Captain Hook
Gold Seek
So what are we talking about here, because there are many wars being wagged in the world today. There’s the war on terror, which the West manufactured post 911 as a make work program for it’s primary industries, money printing, technology, and ordinance manufacture. And then there’s the Syrian War, which is yet another Western construct to do the same. And there’s also the war on drugs, which is another official American construct to make work at home, making war on it’s own people at home, and the root cause of the militarization of the police, making America an official ‘police state’. It’s always been that way underneath of course, however the war on drugs and 911, as the acceleration point, just cemented the deal for America’s ruling class – at war with anything that’s defenseless, moves, and can generate a profit.
The Missing ’28 Pages’ of the 9/11 Report Released Into Blitzkrieg of World Events
by Jeff Berwick
Dollar Vigilante
We have been massive and outspoken proponents that 9/11 was an inside job since our inception in 2010. Five or more years ago that was a fairly extreme stance. We’d often get people calling us “crazy,” but I’m used to it.
In the last few years, however, it appears that anyone who has a decent internet connection and has looked into the details of what happened on September 11, 2001, probably agrees with our stance.
For the last few years this has caused an outcry that the “missing 28 pages” from the 9/11 Report be released. Eventually, as the pressure increased, we became confident the pages would be released and began to wonder about the timing.
We were right to do so. Just hours before the 28 pages were released there was reported to be a “terrorist attack” in Nice, France killing 84 (and already heavy signs of it being a false flag).
How to Really Make America Safe Again
by Tho Bishop
Mises.org
The Republican National Convention begins today in Cleveland, which many people see as a fitting location for the modern GOP. While many among the party base view Trump as a Lebron James-like figure who can lead the GOP back to victory, the Republican establishment has long cast the Donald more like Johnny Manziel: an immature, egotistical brat who doesn’t have the skills to manage on the big stage. While there is no way of knowing where the Trump-Pence ticket will end up in November, a big primetime television event seems to fit naturally with Trump’s pedigree as an entertainer.
As such, Team Trump has decided to give each one of the convention’s days with a specific theme playing off his now-iconic “Make America Great Again,” with tonight’s being “Make America Safe Again.” While there is no reason to expect any real solution from the day’s political theater, let’s consider what is truly needed to accomplish the night’s titular goal.
#NeverTrump Delegates Disrupt Convention in “Last Ditch Effort” to Block Nomination
by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan
So far the RNC convention has produced an unruly cadre of delegates who made a rowdy display of stopping Trump, and forced a roll call state by state.
These are the desperate voices of the old line establishment hoping in vain to stop Trump, who represents a u-turn from their policies of war, globalism and big government spending and big police state powers. If Trump holds true to any of his promises, it will take money from their pockets, and slow down their partnerships to dominate globally. So of course they would have preferred somebody like Jeb!, Rubio or even Ted Cruz:
Destination Mars

Acting Man
Asset Price Levitation
One of the more preposterous deeds of modern central banking involves creating digital monetary credits from nothing and then using the faux money to purchase stocks. If you’re unfamiliar with this erudite form of monetary policy this may sound rather fantastical. But, in certain economies, this is now standard operating procedure.
[…] For example, in Japan this explicit intervention into the stock market is being performed with the composed tedium of a dairy farmer milking his cows. The activity is more art than science. Similarly, if you stop – even for a day – pain swells in certain sensitive areas.
In late April, a Bloomberg study found that the Bank of Japan (BOJ), through its purchases of ETFs, had become a top 10 shareholder in about 90 percent of companies that comprise the Nikkei 225.

Despite weekend press of Turkey, BREXIT and a small early CPI miss for New Zealand (0.4% against an expected 0.5%) and with Japan on a national holiday, all of this resulted in a rather lacklustre start to the week. Shanghai saw a fairly tight trading range (<1%), closing off the days lows but still down 0.4%. Hang Seng managed a better than expected performance as mood improved after confidence settled compared to late Fridays US trading.
A similar session in Europe to what we saw in Asia. With the lack of any major economic data and a reasonably quiet Sunday Press, markets meandered into the week with a mixed performance. One piece of news that many dealers were discussing was Softbank’s purchase of ARM Holdings.

Investors Pull Most Money From U.S. Stock Pickers Since 2008
by Charles Stein
Bloomberg.com
Investors pulled an estimated $21.7 billion from actively managed funds that buy U.S. stocks in June, the biggest monthly withdrawal since October 2008, Morningstar Inc. reported Monday.
For the month, actively run funds of all types suffered redemptions of $30.2 billion while mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that mimic indexes attracted $29.2 billion. Actively run municipal bond funds attracted $6.3 billion, the only category among stock and bond pickers that managed inflows.
Top executives in the asset management business, including Larry Fink, chief executive officer at BlackRock Inc., and Gregory Johnson, head of Franklin Resources Inc., have warned that the shift into passive vehicles will continue, threatening the profit margins and future of many investment companies. Fink and others have predicted that the industry will be forced to consolidate to cope with the threat.

The horror began at around 9mpm local time when the teenager stormed a train that was traveling close to Wurzburg in southern Germany.
He then shouted “Allahu Akbar” – which means God is greatest – before launching into the terrifying attack on innocent passengers and then attempted to flee.

Dear CIGAs,
Helicopter Money is the end of the financial world as we know it. Is Mad Max-ine running the Federal Reserve?
There are problems much larger than anyone has yet mentioned. We live in a stretched beyond tight, credit world. When credit anywhere falls significantly, it puts pressure on the entire system.
Today the entire system’s credit number is in fact t higher than the free cash number. That means that should this happen, there simply is not enough dollars that can in actuality be supplied to stem the run on everything from your local bank to virtual money and toxic derivatives. Cash is being horded by the super wealthy. this is the foundation of the recent international into cash movement. That means a credit crisis rescue at that point is simply impossible.

Videos on Long’s account show that he was a former Nation of Islam member. He also ranted against “crackers” and made references to Alton Sterling, the black man killed by police in Baton Rouge on July 5.

Matt Bellis – Liberty HealthShare’s Explosive Growth Continues
from Financial Survival Network
Matt Bellis is communications director of Liberty HealthShare. In the past year enrollment has grown to 25,000 families and 65,000 people. The reason for this growth is quite simple, the nature of healthcare cost sharing is that it shifts control from government bureaucrats and insurance company employees back to you the patient. And the cost is as much as 80% less than conventional health insurance. I have personally save thousands in the past year. Recently I had minor surgery and Liberty took care of it all. Liberty is truly a revolution in healthcare cost payment and sharing.

There Will Be No Second American Revolution: The Futility of an Armed Revolt
by John W. Whitehead
The Rutherford Institute
“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.” — James Madison
America is a ticking time bomb.
All that remains to be seen is who—or what—will set fire to the fuse.
We are poised at what seems to be the pinnacle of a manufactured breakdown, with police shooting unarmed citizens, snipers shooting police, global and domestic violence rising, and a political showdown between two presidential candidates equally matched in unpopularity.
The preparations for the Republican and Democratic national conventions taking place in Cleveland and Philadelphia—augmented by a $50 million federal security grant for each city—provide a foretaste of how the government plans to deal with any individual or group that steps out of line: they will be censored, silenced, spied on, caged, intimidated, interrogated, investigated, recorded, tracked, labeled, held at gunpoint, detained, restrained, arrested, tried and found guilty.
The Greatest Lie Ever Told
by Theodore Butler
Silver Seek
Granted, if you are going to label something as the greatest lie ever, it must involve something important, both in substance and in terms of who told the lie. In this case, the lie involves what’s at the heart of the silver manipulation and happens to be the issue that I consider the key factor for its price. Importantly, the lie came from the federal regulator overseeing the silver market, the CFTC. The good news is that you will be able to decide for yourself if my assertion is correct, given that the proof is nearly incontrovertible. The best news is that as the lie is more widely recognized, it should have a positive impact on the price of silver.
If Trump Tries to Remove ISIS, Will He Be Removed?
by Daily Bell Staff
The Daily Bell
Donald Trump accused his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of enabling Islamic State’s emergence with “her stupid policies” in a joint interview with running mate Gov. Mike Pence, while pledging to “declare a war” on the terror group. “Hillary Clinton invented ISIS with her stupid policies. She is responsible for ISIS,” Trump said launching a scathing attack on Clinton’s legacy as US Secretary of State while speaking to CBS’s “60 Minutes” show host Lesley Stahl in an interview aired on Sunday. – RT
Saying that Hillary Clinton enabled ISIS, is an almost incomprehensible statement.
Doesn’t Donald Trump realize that Hillary is not alone?
She represents the most massive military and monetary forces available on this planet.
Does he not realize they can crush him?
Is he somehow doing their bidding?

The Dow Will Have to Hit 150,000 Before You Can Retire Comfortably
It sounds like an unimaginably high number, but the math shows that it could happen in a 40-year-old’s lifetime
by Chuck Jaffe
Market Watch
The stock market has bounced up to record levels again, and while investors are right to be skeptical that the strong run can last, they also need to know that the current highs are not nearly enough for their lifetime needs.
In fact, if you’re a 40- or 50-year-old investor, planning for a comfortable retirement and hoping for a lifetime of reasonable returns, you need the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.09% hit 150,000, and the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.24% blow past 15,000.
Those levels are unimaginable now, and they won’t happen for decades. Younger investors will need for the indexes to exceed even those lofty numbers to get the same kind of average lifetime returns as their forebears.
