| Chris Powell at New Orleans conference: Gold market manipulation update, November 2018 |
| Since we met at this conference last year much new evidence of manipulation of the gold market by central banks and their bullion bank agents has been compiled and disclosed by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee.
For example, a month ago a major bullion bank, the Bank of NoSaturday, November 3, 2018 |

| US Stock Market Futures Slumping Overnight After Initial Plunge |
| After further declines to support levels after hours, that reached down well below the parabolic breakouts, the SP 500 and NDX futures have rallied back a bit to try to find support. But the gains of this year and much of the rally from the end of 2017 have been erased.
I have put updated charts in tonight's regular posting showing some more aggressive correction levels.
Tomorrow is likely to be a pivotal day, as the bulls will attempt to find a footing and buy the dip. They made an attempt Tuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| Banks are in the clear if they rig markets as U.S. government's agents |
| Metals market analyst Lawrie Williams, writing yesterday for London bullion dealer Sharps Pixley, notes that manipulation of the monetary metals markets by big banks is becoming more evident, what with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission imposing fines this week on three European banks and the U.S. Justice Department bringing criminal charges against eight traders at the banks.
Williams adds, "What is perhaps less certain is whether central banks are involved too in an attempt to proteThursday, February 1, 2018 |

Silver as a Strategic Metal and Why Prices Will Soar  |
| The arguments in favor of silver as an investment asset are growing rapidly. In the opinion of the Jackass, silver is the most under-valued hard asset in existence, with the highest potential for price appreciation on the globe. To begin with, central banks own no silver, but do own huge tracts of gold. Industry has huge demand for silver, but a trifling amount for gold demand. The investment demand is another key factor in favor of silver, but also for gold. Ever since the tech telecom bust in Sunday, January 21, 2018 |

| A Golden Anchor for the Dollar |
| Dr Warren Coats, former Chief of the SDR with the title Assistant Director of the Monetary and Financial Systems Department at the IMF penned an article on a return to the gold standard in 2013 – A Hard Anchor for the Dollar. Not a classic gold standard, but an “updated version” of a gold standard that would allow for entities like the IMF, World Bank and BIS to stay involved and be part of the global banking system. This would allow these global banks to continue dictating monetary policy and cTuesday, January 2, 2018 |

| Ted Butler: A 10-year-deal to let JPM rig silver |
| Silver market analyst Ted Butler today speculates that the U.S. government has a 10-year agreement with JPMorganChase, stemming from the failure of the Bear Stearns investment bank, waiving commodity and anti-trust law enforcement so that Morgan can keep the price of silver under control and profit greatly from doing so.
This brings Butler quite a bit closer to the possibility that Morgan is simply the executor of U.S. government trades, which easily would explain why there is never any enforcemWednesday, December 20, 2017 |

| Bill Murphy: Nearly two decades of fighting the Gold Cartel |
| Next year will be the 20th year, or two decades, that Chris Powell, the GATA army, and I have been out there doing what we could to expose the gold price suppression scheme by what we call the Gold Cartel.
What we have learned over all this time is how all encompassing the market manipulation schemes really are. Initially, we realized that various bullion banks (such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan) were collectively suppressing the gold price to keep it below $300 an ounce. Eventually we realizeTuesday, October 31, 2017 |

| U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund rigs gold price, ex-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul says |
| Former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, this week tells Wall Street for Main Street's Jason Burack that the United States uses its Treasury Department's Exchange Stabilization Fund to manipulate currency markets and suppress the price of gold. Central banking, Paul says, can't afford to let free markets set the gold price. The interview is 25 minutes long and can be heard at YouTube here:

 Chinese Leverage to Kill Petro-dollar |
| The Chinese Govt is greatly irritated by the requirement to use USDollars in payment for crude oil in the global market. The Beijing officials finally have some leverage in arranging for a major deal to pay for crude oil in RMB currency, their Yuan. The negotiations have been in progress for a couple months. The development is not covered well in the financial press, not even in the alternative media. It will happen, just a matter of time. Its effect will be far reaching and likely devastating.Saturday, July 29, 2017 |

| Why not sue Comex for facilitating the rigging of monetary metals markets |
| Dear GATA:
I read Ronan Manly's July 18 report asserting that the New York Commodity Exchange's gold futures market is structured to facilitate price manipulation:
http://www.gata.org/node/17521
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission likely won't ever do anything about that. But I wonder if anyone has looked into whether the Comex and its operator, CME Group, might be held liable for knowingly facilitating or aiding and abetting illegal activity?

| Valuation Anomalies Suggest Historic Precious Metal Lows |
| Today, we’re going to start with an interview with billionaire Frank Giustra – perhaps, Canada’s most famous mining stock promoter. Who, in this interview, comes as close to accusing gold of being manipulated as mainstream investors are “allowed.”
Do you think the gold market is manipulated?
No, I don’t think it is manipulated. Manipulation is a strong word. But I do believe it is managed, by the policy makers who need to keep confidence in a system when it goes sideways. Any major spike in tWednesday, June 21, 2017 |

| So you understand just how dire – and global – the “Greatest Depression” is becoming, here’s a sampling of the “PiMBEEB,” or Precious-Metal-bullish, everything-else-bearish headlines of the past 24 hours alone. Which cumulatively, tells you all you need to know about how all Central banks will respond into the foreseeable future. Or, more accurately, forever – given that fiat currency regimes by nature are Ponzi schemes; which consequently, must expand exponentially; whilst maintaining public Thursday, June 8, 2017 |

| Opec, Like The London Gold Pool, Proving Cartels Always Fail |
| In Wednesday’s “historic market manipulation setting the stage for catastrophe,” my principal inference was that, per the time old adage, crime never pays. Perhaps in the short-term; but the longer a scam is perpetrated, the more vulnerable it becomes to its inevitable demise. Kind of like Fargo, when the initial plan to ransom Jerry’s wife morphed into a heinous killing spree, resulting in essentially all participating parties dying; as crime, like market manipulation, has significant unintenFriday, May 26, 2017 |

| Historic Market Manipulation, Setting The Stage For Catastrophe |
| In 1989, as a college sophomore, I switched my major from biology to finance. Immediately, I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, and read the “C” section every day for the next ten years, without missing a day. That is, until I got sick of its CNBC-like economic and financial market cheerleading, in the first sign of a burgeoning mistrust of the financial media, that has led to today – when, on a worldwide basis, I have become one of its most well-known detractors. This, and the the entireWednesday, May 24, 2017 |

| Made In America-The Perfect Precious Metals Storm |
| In yesterday’s “unprecedented catastrophe,” I espoused that “when the powers that be’s’ unprecedentedly destructive acts – in the name of destroying the 99%, for the benefit of the 1% – inevitably, spectacularly fail; the world as we have known it will no longer be recognizable.”
Well guess what? As of today, America – and its rapidly diminishing global role – will never be the same; as quite obviously, the “Deep State” that even I have had trouble acknowledging has once and for all, destroyed Thursday, May 18, 2017 |

And the day before, when I showed how the exact same algorithm has been used in China since its early 2015 stock market crash? Well, lo and behold, let’s take a look at this morning’s Chinese stock trading – whilst Chinese commodity prices plunged to new six-month lows; right next to yesterday’s U.S. close.

| Ticking, (Short-Fuse) Time Bombs For The “Challenging” Central Banking Industry |
| In yesterday’s “who’s more bullish for Precious Metals – Macron or Le Pen?,” I started with nearly five pages of cold, hard facts – proving across-the-board market manipulation of essentially all Western markets. Which, for the sole purpose of prolonging a terminally ill monetary status quo – in which 1% benefit, at the expense of not just the “99%,” but future generations of “99-percenters” – has created “dotcom-like valuations in a Great Depression Era.” Not to mention, sentiment – per yesteTuesday, May 9, 2017 |
