Banker Gold Price Suppression Currency Manipulations Have Persisted for 50 years
This 1967 meeting of the FOMC nearly 46 years ago is clear and indisputable evidence of gold price suppression and currency manipulation of the world's "free" and "open" market exchanges.  This criminal cabal has certainly built up their mechanisms since this time to conceal their sinister scheme from issuing dishonest money. It's blatant now and all of "in your face" is their behavioral response to inquiry. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead. If you find this too cumbersome to read, the Fed

  Why gold is better than cash 
The question most often asked of gold bulls is, “At what price will you take your profits?” It is a question that betrays a lack of understanding about why anyone should own gold. Nevertheless, the simple answer must be, “When paper money stops losing its value”. This response should alert anyone who asks this question to the idea that owning fiat cash is the speculative position, not ownership of precious metals.

FOMC Minutes from 1967 Illuminating Central Bank Gold Price Suppression, Market Manipulations
The issue before us here is not so much the mechanics of deception, but the tenacity and conviction of the banking cartel to use any means to protect themselves.

U.S. bank derivatives books larger since rescue of Bear Stearns
At the end of January 2008, in what would turn out to be its final annual report, Bear Stearns went into some detail about its big book of derivatives. The book had a notional value of $13.4 trillion at the end of November, Bear said, up more than 50 percent from a year earlier. A two-notch downgrade in the firm's credit ratings, it added, would require it to come up with an extra $353m in collateral. This huge cluster of financial instruments -- swaps, futures, forwards, and options -- may not

  Drums Along the Potomac 
The amateur psychologist in me suspects that the more the USA heaps Russia with censorious opprobrium and punishments, the closer this floundering polity actually is to completely losing its shit. Friday morning’s front-page headline in The New York Times appears to have been written by Pee Wee Herman: I can just hear Vlad Putin blowing a raspberry out of the Kremlin: “Nyah, nyah, nyah… I know you are, but what am I…?” We’re also informed today by that august journal that U.S. Accuses Russia in

LBMA Alchemy and the London Gold and Silver Markets: 2 Steps Back
“Did you think that the high-powered world of the LBMA would operate in a fishbowl for all to see?

A new theory about 'gold pukes': Banks desperate for dollar liquidity
Zero Hedge tonight calls attention to an interview done with Jeffrey Snider, chief investment strategist and head of global research at Alhambra Investment Partners in Palmetto Bay, Florida, by hedge fund manager Erik Townsend at his MacroVoices internet site. Snider acknowledges that central banks are active in the gold market through leases and swaps but argues that their primary objective is not to suppress the gold price in defense of government currencies but to provide emergency liquidity

Russia Should Overtake China’s Gold Holdings in January 2018
As we have reported on a number of occasions Russia has been moving ever closer to 6th position in global gold holdings and she is now within a handful of tons of physical gold to achieve the next step. Russia added a recorded number of tons of gold to her gold holding in 2017 with 223 tons added to the central bank’s gold reserves. Please keep in mind that Russia has agreed to sell China between 80 and 100 tons of gold on an annual basis, so that would be in addition to what Russia added to her

Rob Kirby: Crypto Gold Will Expose Fraudulent COMEX, LBMA and GLD
Honest commerce is a good platform from which to have good international relations. Foisting empty dollars on countries around the world whom you trade with, that are created out of thin air, is not conducive to peaceable international relations. Which is why the world is in the mess it’s in today.
