I do not see the NSA involvement which Max mentions.

| CNBC notes 'mysterious' gold dump just ahead of employment report |
| Gene Arensberg of the Got Gold Report calls attention to CNBC's report of a burst of seemingly "mysterious" gold futures contract dumping that took place today a fraction of a second before publication of the U.S. government's employment report. CNBC finds the dumping suspicious in the sense of possible leaking of the employment report. But of course GATA is inclined to suspect that there was no leaking at all and that the gold contract dumping was done by the government itself through its bulliSaturday, June 08, 2013 |

| Redemptions in the GLD are, oddly enough, Bullish for Gold |
| By Eric Sprott & Etienne Bordeleau
Recent outflows from physical gold exchange traded products (we use
the SPDR Gold Shares, GLD) have been interpreted by the financial press
as a sign of weakness in the demand for gold as an investment vehicle.1
However, a closer look at the evidence suggests otherwise: the
largest outflows in the history of the GLD (see Figure 1) started well
before the large drop in the price of gold we observed on April 15th,

| Hedging against price changes |
| Slow Loris Larry asked a few questions around who loses when prices decline and how do industry participants protect themselves against price declines.
SLL: I understand that the Perth Mint does not, as it owns no precious metal. It stores allocated metal for account holders, and it backs its unallocated accounts with metal that is being refined, or fabricated, or is for sale. Being a Mint account holder, both allocated and unallocated, I know full well who is exposed to changes in the pricThursday, May 30, 2013 |

| Severe Oversupply of Silver Liars - Silver Coin Bag Trading on COMEX |
| Most don't know or have forgotten that US circulated "junk silver" coins $1,000 bags used to trade on the COMEX in 5 bag lots/contract. I used those trades as my indicator for coin premium values vis-a-vis the bullion futures/options. The Commodity page of the WSJ reported daily. Maybe if someone had a paid WSJ subscription the archives are still there for the 1970s!

| Belgian Central Bank Says 25 Tons Or 10% of Gold Reserves on Loan |
| Today’s AM fix was USD 1,379.00, EUR 1,067.42 and GBP 913.43 per ounce.
Friday’s AM fix was USD 1,385.25, EUR 1,068.95 and GBP 917.81 per ounce.
Yesterday a national holiday was observed in both the United Kingdom and the USA.
Gold is lower in all major currencies except the yen which is under pressure today due to ‘Abenomics’ concerns and concerns of further yen debasement.
A firmer dollar and buoyant stock markets may be contributing to gold being under pressure.

| David Levenstein: Bullion bank-led casino manipulates gold price -- and everything else |
| The sudden dumping of huge futures contracts for gold on the New York Commodities Exchange is proof of market manipulation by a banking cartel as well as the complicity of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, South African gold trader and bullion dealer David Levenstein writes today at MineWeb. His commentary is headlined "Bullion Bank-Led Casino Manipulates Gold Price -- and Everything Else" and it's posted here:

 My Challenge To “Whistleblower” Andrew Maguire  |
| Readers of my blog have known for quite some time now that I grew increasingly agitated with the charlatans pumping the gold and silver price suppression memes over two years ago and have been quite vocal about it on many occasions. I want to be clear about this point before I continue. My beef isn’t with people who buy gold and silver or who feel that a portion of their portfolio should be devoted to gold or silver ownership.

 | John Rubino - Dollar Collapse |
 Golden Bullseye  |
| One of the lessons that gold bugs are learning, in the most painful way possible,
is that you can't trade a manipulated market. When big players with regulatory
immunity can move an asset's price -- and can see resistance/support levels
and moving averages just as clearly as anyone else -- smaller traders don't
stand a chance.
In the gold-is-manipulated script, governments and their bullion bank proxies
push the price to levels where they know hedge funds and other traders have

The role of GLD and SLV  |
| In August 2011 I wrote to the Financial Services Authority to seek confirmation that the London-based custodians of SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) were being regulated as custodians, despite the fact that physical bullion is not a regulated investment. After some chasing on my part I finally got a response, kicking my letter firmly into touch. The FSA accepted that the custodians (HSBC Bank USA NA for GLD and JP Morgan Chase Bank NA London Branch for SLV) were regulated, buMonday, May 13, 2013 |

| Although the Pharisees of paper money successfully forced down the price of gold, like those who lobbied Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus, the consequences of their actions will backfire beyond their wildest imagination.The decision of the paper money cabal to force down the price of gold is akin to Japan's decision to attack Pearl Harbor.
