Paul de Sousa, executive vice president of Bullion Management Group in Toronto, has written a wonderful report summarizing some of the history, documentation, and purposes of gold price suppression by Western governments.
De Sousa begins: "Arthur Schopenhauer said that 'all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.' Well, it is now self-evident that the gold market is manipulated."
De Sousa's report draws heavily on GATA's work without acknowledging it. But simply coming over to the side complaining of gold price suppression is itself politically incorrect enough to risk one's respectability, and of course gratitude will always be rarer than gold.
