| 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. My beef isn’t with people that make well thought out arguments forTuesday, May 21, 2013 |

 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 |

| Gold - Who's selling who's buying who's lying |
| 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. Although the attack was successful, the eventual consequences were not what Japan had envisioned.Recently, an article, The Gold Correction: What's the Big DealThursday, May 09, 2013 |

| The most powerful element of the shift has been the movement of gold wealth from Western locations (New York, London, Switzerland) to Eastern locations (China, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong). Most residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Western Europe are in shock, constantly distracted by the sweeping disruptive events led by a) unstoppable government deficits, b) the powerful crumble of sovereign bonds, c) the ruinous insolvency of the banking systems, d) the relentless reign of tax terror, and e) the tragic decline of the underlying economiesWednesday, May 01, 2013 |

| 'Buying panic' underway in gold and silver, Turk says |
| GoldMoney founder and GATA consultant James Turk today tells King World News that a "buying panic" is underway for real gold and silver and it may be accelerated if Barrick Gold is unable to restart its Pascua-Lama mine project on the Chile-Argentina border and the bullion bank that allowed Barrick to hedge so much imagined production from the project asks for its metal back. An excerpt from the interview is posted at the King World News blog here:

| Physical gold vs paper gold: waiting for the dam to break |
| Introduction
In this article I will argue that the recent slide in the gold price has generated substantial demand for bullion that will likely bring forward a financial and systemic disaster for both central and bullion banks that has been brewing for a long time. To understand why, we must examine their role and motivations in precious metals markets and assess current ownership of physical gold, while putting investor emotion into its proper context.

| Many are still sorting through the data to try and figure out what happened, but it is hard to look at the available data and the market action and conclude that the recent 'flash crash' in gold was anything but a calculated takedown.
Some big players had been trying to work the market price of bullion down in stair step fashion for some time. Their tracks on the tape were big enough to be hard to miss, and any number of people who watch the market structure as it develops were seeing them,Sunday, April 21, 2013 |
