 A Short History of the Gold Cartel  |
| Governments want a low gold price to make national currencies look good. Gold is recognizable the world over as the "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to money. A rising gold price blurts the unpleasant truth that a national currency is being poorly managed and that its purchasing power is being inflated.Monday, May 06, 2013 |

| One of the things I often do with this blog is to attempt to decipher some of the tougher concepts expressed by Another and FOA. I try to get into their heads and figure out what they really meant so that I can rephrase it in a way that (to me at least) is easier to understand. This is one of those posts.
The following question came to me via email from "Solitary Monk" who took his name from a comment left by Woland referring to the fact that he had "preserved our 'Library of Alexandria' froFriday, April 26, 2013 |

Gold is a leading indicator of monetary distress
No matter what confidence game is being run, confidence is the necessary pre-requisite.This is why confidence indicators are so closely monitored by central bankers.If consumers and businesses lack confidence, they will not partake of the central banker’s credit; a necessary step in the indebting of otherwise willing victims.Tuesday, December 11, 2012 |

| More dress rehearsal for the last contango |
| You have to remember that the basis is widely used as a guide in the huge arbitrage operations between gold holdings and dollar balances and in the gold carry trade. To participate in this arbitrage you must have gold on deposit in Comex warehouses. But with the vanishing of the gold basis the profitability of this arbitrage as well as that of the gold carry trade has been drying up, which explains the dwindling of warehouse stocks.Wednesday, August 29, 2012 |

Brown's Bottom: Why Gordon Brown Sold England's Gold On the Cheap To Bail Out the Banks  |
| Although this is nothing new, as I and several others have reported this several times in the past, with a very nice documentary on it having been done by Max Keiser, this is still a very important article for two reasons.
First, it lays out rather nicely the gold panic of 1999 and Brown's Bottom, which is the low in the price of gold achieved by the dumping of 400 tons of gold into the world market at an artificially low price by the British government.Thursday, July 12, 2012 |

| It Won’t Be Long Before The Gold/Silver Manipulation Scandal Goes Mainstream |
|
Times are finally changing.It will never be at the speed the GATA camp expects, yet slowly but surely our time is coming.The GATA camp will be proven correct and it will evolve into one of the most grotesque scandals in history … dwarfing the Enron, Madoff, MF Global and Barclays scandals combined, in terms of its effects on financial markets around the world.Monday, July 09, 2012 |

 Exposure of Banker Corruption  |
|
Few observers make the connection, but the current LIBOR scandal is a middle inning of two important events.The first is the demise of the Western banker leadership crew.The executives from the most powerful banks will be last to be deposed, all sharing an ethnic strain.The second is the open fracture of the Western financial system.Friday, July 06, 2012 |

What an incredibly complex confusing and treacherous month.It can be safely said that 80% of the activity is almost totally kept from the public.The financial system is breaking in an accelerated fashion.Compare to some grisly horror movie where a man is strapped in a chair.The more he moves, the tighter the bindings pull on his gasping throat and pressed nether stones.Saturday, April 14, 2012 |

| Avery Goodman: Euro zone gets vast bond monetization through the back door |
| Securities lawyer Avery Goodman explains at Seeking Alpha tonight how the European Central Bank's new long-term refinancing operations (LTRO) will constitute back-door quantitative easing, as big banks borrow from the ECB at negligible interest rates, buy the bonds of insolvent governments that the ECB is prohibited from buying, collect a handsome spread, and keep coming back to repeat the maneuver while theeurozone figures out how to monetize those bonds permanently.Friday, December 23, 2011 |

| Trend Change: Official Purchases from Central Banks Supporting Gold Price |
|
Starting in 1989, the world's Central Banks became steady net sellers of their gold reserves which had been accumulated over the years.
In addition to official gold sales, the banks also began to engage in gold leasing contract with bullion banks such as J.P.Morgan, Goldman Sachs, et al.Wednesday, October 21, 2009 |
