THESSALONIKI, Greece – Authorities say a police station has been attacked in a village in northern Greece where frequent protests have broken out against plans to develop a gold mine in the area by a Canadian mining company.
The attack took place in the village of Ierissos early Wednesday after police special forces entered the homes of two local residents and arrested them over their alleged involvement in a February arson attack at the nearby gold mine installations.
Local campaigners fiercely oppose the plans to develop the mine by Vancouver, Canada-based Eldorado Gold Corp. and argue that the venture will harm the economy in Greece's northern Halkidiki peninsula which relies heavily on farming and tourism.
Police said no officers were in the police station at the time of the attack.

Carver: What you are about to witness, Ms. Lin, is not so much a missile attack, but the launch of a new world order. In precisely five minutes after your countrymen have attacked the British fleet, I shall retaliate for dear old England by sending this missile into Beijing, where General Chang has just called an emergency meeting of the Chinese High Command. Unfortunately, General Chang will be delayed in traffic, arriving just after the missile has killed your leaders, and too late to stop the air force from sinking the entire British fleet, but he will be just in time to take over the Government, negotiate a truce, and emerge as a world leader, with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Estimates of the gold reserves held by Saudi Arabia have been doubled to 323 tons after an accounting change.
The Middle East kingdom had previously been calculated by the World Gold Council as owning a mere 143 tons.
The trade organisation said it changed its estimate "as a result of the adjustment of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency's gold accounts".

The Bigelow Report asserted that in 1945, the Vatican had confiscated 350 million Swiss francs in Nazi gold for "safekeeping," of which 150 million Swiss francs had been impounded by British authorities at the Austro-Swiss border. The report also stated that the balance of the gold was held in one of the Vatican’s numbered Swiss bank accounts. Intelligence reports, which corroborated the Bigelow Report, also suggested that more than 200 million Swiss francs, a sum largely in gold coins, were eventually transferred to Vatican City or to the Institute for Works of Religion (aka the Vatican Bank), with the assistance of Roman Catholic clergy and the Franciscan Order..Such claims, however, are denied by the Vatican Bank. "There is no basis in reality to the (Bigelow) report", said Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls, as reported in Time magazine...

But I have to add to the published story of the Lady Vain another, possibly as horrible and far stranger. It has hitherto been supposed that the four men who were in the dingey perished, but this is incorrect. I have the best of evidence for this assertion: I was 1 of the 4 men...

ORMEs, an acronym for "Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements", are "monatomic elements", also called "ORMUS elements" or "m-state elements," are atoms which comprise a substance in which its atoms are not bound to each other (called a monatomic state). They constitute a newly discovered form (phase) of matter (refered to as "exotic matter") with entirely different physical properties from normal elements. They are thought to produce incredible physical and mental health benefits when ingested and are already on the consumer product market (see here).. Monatomic gold is believed to have been eaten by the ancient Egyptians and was depicted to be a food of the gods which would assist the Egyptians in unlocking their inate mental and spiritual abilities. The discovery of monatomic elements has so far received little mainstream attention, but is expected to become an important subject in the future. Some have even said that this discovery may constitute the uncovering of the esoteric "Philosopher's Stone", as spoken of in Alchemy, or even the famous Holy Grail. Viewed spiritually, it is thought to bring enlightenment...

"We approached the National Archive and inquired if they had any materials from the 2nd World War relating to Nazi assets," says Mr Steinberg. The archivist replied in March that the US government had initiated an intelligence operation called Safe Haven during the war with the aim of "locating, tracking and receiving Nazi assets that were moved into neutral countries, particularly Switzerland" - Banque J.E. Charles & Cie - Bank Charles was set up in 1943 by a Swiss businessman Eugene Johannes Charles with a secret infusion of 50 million French francs from the Reichsbank, in a plot to keep the Nazi party alive after the war. The wife of American Edward Jay Gould, the only son of turn-of-the-century financier Jay Gould, gave 5 million francs to become a shareholder in the bank.. Gould's 2nd wife was Edith Kelly, whom he married in 1910. Edith was the sister of Hetty Kelly, who was Charlie Chaplin's 1st true love..
The Bank of England helped in the sale of gold stolen by Nazis after the 1939 invasion of Czechoslovakia.
A document from 1950 shows the gold bars were sold by the Bank on behalf of Germany's central Reichsbank.
The details have been made public following the first stage of the digitalisation of the bank's archive.
In 1939 the UK government said it had frozen all Czech assets being held in London at the time, but the sale of looted gold still went ahead.
Germany had annexed the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia following the Munich Agreement, which was signed in September 1938, and then invaded the rest of the country in March 1939...
The 1950 history reveals: "There was a further gold transaction on the 1st June 1939 when there were sales of gold (£440,000) and gold shipments to New York (£420,000) from the No.19 account of the BIS.
"This represented gold which had been shipped to London by the Reichsbank. This time, before acting, the Bank of England referred the matter to the chancellor, who said that he would like the opinion of the law officers of the Crown.
It adds: "On the BIS enquiring, however, what was causing delay and saying that inconvenience would be caused because of payments the next day, the Bank of England acted on the instructions referring to the law officers, who, however, subsequently upheld their action."
Other released documents show the Bank in a more favourable light, relating how during the war it sold saccharin and collections of postage stamps in exchange for foreign currency.
