| The LBMA Is A Ploy of the Central Bank Community - Nico Simons |
| This
article is about the way the Central Bank Community manipulates the price of
gold and the role of the LBMA within. We describe some of the signs that the
Central Bank Community manipulate the price of gold and that they are using the
LBMA to reach their goal. Is the manipulation of the gold price a classic case of
Diffusion of responsibility because so many organizations are involved and
avoid taking responsibility?

About
the CIA (1)
The Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) was established by the National Security Act of 1947
as an independent agency under the direction of the National Security Council.
Its principal mission was to “correlate and evaluate intelligence (from around
the world) relating to the national security, and provide for the appropriate
dissemination of such intelligence within the Government.”

| Precious Metal Investing 2017-The “Old” Versus The New |
| Talk about “extremes to the extreme!” To wit, I have been watching the “2:15 AM” open of the London paper market for nearly four years; and on 806 of the 923 days since, prices have been either attacked or “capped and attacked” via the ubiquitous “Cartel Herald” algorithm – which has stopped all PM rallies, at all times of day, for the 15 years I have been watching. In fact, when I started watching the 2:15 AM “phenomenon” in July 2013, gold and silver were $1,300/oz and $19/oz, respectively, Wednesday, March 15, 2017 |

| Gold Lease Rates and Gold Prices |
| Are gold lease rates (GLR) really one of the major drivers of the price of gold, as is often cited? A lease rate is the market price for borrowing or lending the particular asset. Obviously, the gold lease rate is the cost of borrowing gold. In much the same way that individuals borrow dollars, pay interest, and then return dollars to the lender, gold bullion participants borrow gold, pay a borrowing cost, and return the gold to the lender. So much for the Buffet’s claim that gold has no yield.Monday, May 16, 2016 |

| Koos Jansen: Why did European central banks sell gold |
| Focusing on the Netherlands Central Bank's reduction of its gold reserves, Bullion Star market analyst and GATA consultant Koos Jansen asks why the European central banks sold (or purported to sell) so much gold from the announcement of the Washington Agreement on Gold in 1999 through 2010, when such sales stopped almost completely. Jansen cites a comment by the Dutch treasury secretary in 2011 in support of his speculation that the gold sales may have been intended to help redistribute amd equaFriday, November 21, 2014 |

‘The Gold Wars’ by Ferdinand Lips
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) and establishment parties went “all in” during the week and intensified their campaign. They suggested that passing the Gold Initiative would be a ‘fatal’ for Switzerland and would be positive only for speculators.
The ‘yes’ side countered by saying the SNB’s assertions were alarmist and over the top. They say that it is not an invitatFriday, November 14, 2014 |

| Has China Played Possum |
| Alisdair Macleod of Goldmoney.com put out a piece last week which suggests China may already have accumulated between 20,000 and 25,000 tons of gold prior to 2002. Please read this very carefully as it makes very good sense and puts a piece into the puzzle which was missing for so long. Let me also add, if this turns out to be true then it is THE biggest financial news since August 15, 1971 when the U.S. defaulted on the gold standard.

| By Julian Phillips Gold Leasing to what extentThere is a belief that central bank gold in the custody of the worlds leading central banks such as the Fed, the Bank of England and the Banque de France has been leased out to the market. Central Banks have confirmed this, but it remains a source of contention. Even where the gold of the worlds central banks are held in the worlds leading central banks in a custodial arrangement this is so and it is reasonable to assume that this could not be dThursday, May 29, 2014 |

| Jesse's Cafe Americain: How long can Phase II of the gold pool be sustained |
| The London Gold Pool has been reinstated and is holding gold to $1,300 and silver to $20, Jesse's Cafe Americain argues this week.
Jesse writes:
"Phase I of the current gold pool ended with the collapse of the Washington Agreement, which was an attempt to prop up a failing arrangement often called Bretton Woods II. This failure became unmistakable with the change in central bank behavior toward gold, from net sellers to net buyers, with the revolt of the BRICs.
