For the
last year or more, not an elephant, not a gorilla, but a dragon has been
found at the dinner table. Its breath has just made everybody at the table
totally bald with some scorched red faces. Now all are looking at each other,
wondering who will first mention the bald guys at the table. The Shanghai
levers are finally functioning, starting with the Gold Fix and continuing
with the RMB-based gold futures contract (which delivers gold metal oddly).
The game is finally on, as in the climax chapter to the End Game. Paper gold is
totally disconnected from fundamentals. The paper charade is as impressive as
it is corrupt. Its enemy is physical gold and related demand. Silk Road
nations have strong gold demand, which will disrupt the entire geopolitical
balance of power, extending from trade and non-USDollar platforms. The West
has the corner on toilet paper used in the gold market. The United States has
the corner on the USDollar, used in fraud and illicit tolls.
PAPER
GOLD FRAUD
Paper
Gold is a term used to describe the actively traded futures contracts which
determine the gold price. Owning such paper instruments is not the same as
owning physical gold, since corruption defrauds the investor and interrupts
the claim. Most investors remain largely unaware of how disconnected the
paper markets (COMEX in United States & LBMA in England) are from
reality. The entire concept of contractual (paper) price discovery has
been corrupted beyond all recognition. The activity in the last couple years
has raised great alarm due to the rapid pace of divergence between paper gold
prices and the tangible world fundamentals within the gold arena.
The
claims of paper contracts per ounce versus actual gold has run to almost
300-to-1 in recent months. It was considered outrageous two years ago when at
only 25-to-1 or 40-to-1 in ratio. Imagine the lunacy of even five to six
people claiming ownership to your car or house, or better yet your summer
cottage by the lake. The dominance of paper gold pricing mechanisms has
resulted in profound shortages in supply, as well as horrendous conditions
for mining firms. They have been forced to shut down marginal mines, since
not profitable. Only a rare few among mining firms like Majestic Silver has
undertaken to deny supply to the COMEX, and to call a partial strike against
the criminal COMEX organization. Absolutely no equilibrium exists in the gold
market, as demand outstrips supply, which quickly vanishes. The shortages
have made history in recent months and years.
Paper
Gold on COMEX and LBMA is a crime scene. It is toilet paper with gilded
surfaces, better described as elaborate corrupt contracts with a few gilded
letters at the top. Trading gold futures, which are essentially delivery
contracts, must entail some degree of abstract financialization. If someone
is merely trading a gold contract in order to arbitrage, then it would be
costly, time consuming, and ultimately pointless to shift physical gold
around. It is only the paper gold contracts that trade hands, not the
physical metal on ramps. The banker cartel relies upon this hardship of
movement to create the corrupt scheme. People do not wish to carry 80 silver
coins in their pockets or a kilogram of gold in a suitcase, so instead they
use certificates which become instantly corrupted. The necessary evil has
grown far beyond its intended proportions, a practice refined and led mainly
by the big banks.
Currently,
the number of contracts on the COMEX represents 300 times as much paper gold
as there is physical metal in the COMEX vaults. Moreover, this number has
ballooned at a faster pace over the past two years or so. The 300:1 ratio of
contracts to physical ounces is propped by powerful restrictions. The COMEX
forbids delivery of gold on the ramps to satisfy a gold contract, under
threat of banning the party from participation and entry in the door. Almost
nobody takes actual delivery of their metal, except for the big Wall Street
banks which steal gold from other depositors. These banks also routinely rig
the windows to enable removal of investor gold in the GLD Exchange Traded
Fund, and silver from the similar SLV fund. Imagine a gold futures contract
with no delivery possible. How absurd! But it has been the reality since June
2012.
The
situation is perhaps even more frightening in the London Bullion Market Assn
(LBMA). This market sees $trillions worth of gold trades every day. The
activity is truly baffling. On individual trading days, more gold changes
hands within contract trading (paper shuffling) across the London market than
all the available gold in the world. Yet no metal moves anywhere, in a grand
charade. These are merely paper transactions, with almost no actual metal
ever in movement. The staggering leverage and dilution should not make any
sense to the rational observer. However, in sharp contrast, the Eastern
nations are accumulating gold in large volume.
GOLD
& SILVER PRICE REVERSALS
The gold
reaction to the Shanghai market development has been muted. But a powerful
reversal is in progress, which should be impossible to halt or to obstruct.
An unsual pattern shows itself in an upward bias Cup & Handle toward a
reversal, where the $1300 level is well defended.
The
signals are many on the positive side. The reversal pattern is powerful and
unmistakable. The upward tilt is unusual and potent, as a very bullish signal
indeed. An explosive violent rise could occur soon. It might not be noticed
well by some analysts. The moving average crossover for the 20-week MA
above the 50-week MA is a very reliable signal, confirmed by the stochastics
cyclical index. Gold is stodgy but it will prevail and complete the upside
breakout. The banker cabal will throw a lot of paper at it, but the paper
will be burned and converted to metal by force. These are exciting times. The
world is on the verge of witnessing the fall of the banker cabal and the
removal of the King Dollar as global reserve currency. The battle is as
fierce as the dollar is toxic. See the gold weekly chart where the breakout
seems imminent.
The
daily gold chart shows a rather tepid response to the April 19th event, where
Shanghai launched the Gold Fix and began the gold-delivered futures contract
priced in RMB terms. The battle is on to defend the $1280-1300 level.
Pressure builds to break out above that level. It will happen soon, but
impossible to tell when. It depends on how much more worthless contract paper
the banker cabal chooses to stuff in the COMEX toilets, how much more
corruption they wish to be exposed for, how much more desperation they will
display on a very well observed global stage. The Chinese to be sure are
very angry at continued paper stuffing of the golden ballot boxes where votes
are placed on the price discovery process! Notice the absent gold rally
in the last several days of trading, with no breakout evident in the daily
chart.
Silver
leads the precious metals breakout in impressive fashion. The Cup &
Handle pattern indicates an 18 target to be reached very quickly. Both
following charts exhibit a constructed launching pad for an assault on the
$20 level. Suspicion has arisen that China is acquiring silver in an
industrial stockpile, possibly for monetary purposes also. A bigger
controversy has emerged, whereby JPMorgan might be the hired agent by China
to secure vast amounts of silver bullion. The USGovt appears to have reneged
on yet another lease contract with the Middle Kingdom. The US has confirmed
once more itself to be the exceptionally corrupt nation. See the weekly chart
for silver, where the breakout is as clear as one's reflection off a shiny
silver surface. It is consolidating at the $17 price level.
A
different pattern is shown on the daily silver chart, one that rhymes with
the breakout in the weekly silver chart. Notice the surge in volume to exit
the range established since February. The target for the daily chart breakout
is also indicated around the $18 level. This chart and the chart above
resemble a launching pad of a different look where a tilted range no longer
held the price movement.
SILVER
SURFER
Beware
the silver surge in impressive moves upward. The silver price has surged over
10% in the last two or three weeks to over $17 per ounce, where consolidation
occurs. The Silver Surfer is on the move, making his presence known. The Sprott
Silver fund will add $75 million to silver drainage. Gold fights the
geopolitical banker battles, but silver rides through the gate on a swift
white horse. Silver has surged in recent weeks. Its impressive move of nearly
80 cents on April 19th was duly noted, an echo from the Shanghai gongs.
Silver easily surpassed technical resistance at $16.20/oz. The next big
test is resistance at $18 per ounce. The brief peaks in early 2015 will not
stop the Silver march upward. No significant activity was seen at either
minor peak event, a requirement for resistance to be exerted. The Silver
Surfer is ready to capture the earth's attention again.
The
Supply & Demand dynamics in the silver market remain conducive to higher
prices in the coming months. Industrial and investment demand for silver is
strong. Industrial demand for silver is expected to rise 3% in 2016,
according to Capital Economics. Silver investment demand has risen by 400%
from under 50 million ounces in 2006 to 200 million ounces in 2015.
Investment demand remains robust with monetary role becoming clear. The
stockpile function adds to supply pressures.
An
interesting event recently occurred. The Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV)
is an honest strong player in the precious metals arena. Eric Sprott and John
Embry are as honest and full of integrity as Wall Street executives are
corrupt and lacking scruples. The Sprott fund is a trust created to invest
and hold nearly all of its assets in physical silver bullion, managed by
Sprott Asset Mgmt. They announced in the first week of April that it has
priced a follow-on offering of 12.3 million transferable, redeemable units of
the Trust (called shares). The price is set but most important is the volume.
The gross proceeds from the Offering will be US$74.91 million. The demand
will come quickly, a substantial amount of silver to come out of an already
very tight market.
Investment
demand is will surely remain robust and probably increase due to ineffective
QE policies, still ultra-loose monetary policies, negative interest rates,
and ongoing federal deficits among most sovereign nations. The ruin of money
is complete, and entering the climax phase for demise of the USDollar and its
removal as global currency reserve. African style monetary policy at the
US Federal Reserve since 2012 has rendered the USDollar toxic, and undermined
the global reserves held by nations. Hyper monetary inflation has severe
consequences. The community of nations has reacted in a global revolt.
Most people among the common masses cannot imagine a world without the
USDollar. They assume it as a constant. It is not. Only a small minority
among the common masses have observed the broad-based movement in the East to
construct non-USD platforms like the BRICS Development Fund and the Asian
Infra-structure Investment Bank (competitors to the Intl Monetary Fund and
World Bank), the Chinese Interbank Payment System (alternative to SWIFT), and
even the Eurasian Economic Union (seeking to join with the European Union
itself). Thus the upcoming shock, when the USDollar is gone and shortages
arise, then later the price inflation from the currency crisis. It is
especially difficult to convince the common masses of paradigm shift and
great change when they do not know what the term global currency reserve
means, and do not know what the SWIFT bank transactions are. The former is
usage of USTreasury Bonds in core reserves within foreign banking systems.
The latter is a method of transfer from bank to bank across the world.
If truth
be told, the official monetary policy is wrecking the global economy. QE
with ZIRP serve as a death warrant to the USDollar, etched in monetary
policy. Assured mutual destrution is clear. The Gold Standard is visible, a
solution avoided since 2008 but urgently called for now. Bear in mind the
honest inflation adjustment, which calls for the 1980 high to occur at
$150/oz for silver. It remains realistic, especially given the increasing
usage of silver in various industrial application. Silver will be part of the
new asset backed global currency system. NEXT COMES A GLOBAL LEHMAN MOMENT
WITH BANK FAILURES AND A THREAT TO THE ENTIRE WESTERN BANKING SYSTEM. Nothing
has been fixed since 2008. No big bank liquidations have occurred. No
currency reform has occurred. The banking reform has been a sham, run by the
big banks themselves. Banker power has been preserved. Next the Western bank
power will be lost.
Behold
an obscure but shocking statistic, not easily observed since the crude oil
price decline has dominated many headlines. The bank losses are next,
unavoidable over time. The queues of loaded crude oil vessels grab headlines.
A favorite bizarre broken data point is that in the full year 2015, over
half a million containers were exported from US shores like Los Angeles, San
Francisco, New York, and New Jersey that were empty. A new major US
export is stale air locked in containers, loaded from US ports and destined
for Asia and Emerging Markets. US export of fraudulent bonds, military
weaponry, diabetes, and laced vaccines now has another item on the sickening
list. The system is truly broken.
CLIMAX
OF DUMPED PAPER IN GOLD MARKET
The Wall
Street and London Centre banker criminals dumped $2 billion of paper gold
into futures markets on April 21st. They dumped $1.5 billion of paper silver
into futures markets. They only buy a little time, while losing more face.
The entire world observes the corruption in real time. A powerful Chinese
response to final days suppression is coming, as Shanghai will deliver a
message soon. It will be given in their time frame, not ours.
The
desperation is obvious, palpable, incredible, fascinating, and unmistakable.
History is being made, as the last ditch is overrun. The banker cabal wishes
to defend an indefensible $1300 gold price and to defend an indefensible $18
silver price. They will fail, but not before throwing $billions of unbacked
unsupported counterfeit contract paper at the market. The Chinese will flush
the paper like so much toilet paper in sudden thrusts of the lever, down the
COMEX toilet, using their gilded Shanghai lever. The publicity grows on their
corruption, like with admissions by Deutsche Bank. The lawsuits are piling
up.
The Wall
Street and London Centre hives risk a powerful response by China at their
newly fortified Shanghai helm. Expect very soon a strong message given to the
West. The Chinese will not tolerate further corruption in the gold price
mechanisms. They hold too much gold and they want it priced properly for
global usage, even a banking role, a currency role as well. The Chinese are
the leading producer and consumer of gold. They demand proper pricing for an
important asset soon to become a widely used banking reserve asset. Expect
very soon for China to test the mettle of the corrupt Western stewards of
paper gold & paper silver by lifting the Gold Price by something like
$100 and lifting the Silver Price by something like $2.00 in a single
overnight alarm gong. The Chinese are motivated to deliver a message of
wrested control, to slam the table, marking new management for the precious
metals market. It is coming! It will happen soon! The Chinese are patient,
but their patience has almost run out.
NEW
SCHEISS DOLLAR & GOLD TRADE STANDARD
In time,
expect an eventual refusal by Eastern producing nations to accept USTreasury
Bills in payment for trade. The IMF reversal decision assures this USTBill
blockade in time, and might accelerate the timetable. The United States Govt
cannot continue on five glaring fronts of gross negligence and major
violations. These violations have prompted the BRICS & Alliance nations
to hasten their development of diverse non-USD platforms toward the goal of
displacing the USDollar while at the same time take steps toward the return
of the Gold Standard. The violations are:
1) to
import finished goods and crude commodities, paying with IOU coupons
2) to
commit multi-$trillion bond fraud in its big banks, done without legal
prosecution
3) to do
QE bond purchases in applied hyper monetary inflation, monetizing debt
4) to
rig all major financial markets in favor of the primal USDollar
5) to
engage in numerous regional wars to support the USDollar.
The
New Scheiss Dollar will arrive in order to assure continued import supply to
the USEconomy. It will be given a 30% devaluation out of the gate, then many
more devaluations of similar variety. The New Dollar will fail all foreign
and Eastern scrutiny. The USGovt will be forced to react to USTBill rejection
at the ports.
The US must accommodate with the New Scheiss Dollar in order to assure import
supply, and to alleviate the many stalemates to come. The United States finds
itself on the slippery slope that leads to the Third World, a Jackass
forecast that has been presented since Lehman fell (better described as
killed by JPM and GSax). The only apparent alternative is for the United
States Govt to lease a large amount of gold bullion (like 10,000 tons) from
China in order to properly launch a gold-backed currency. Doing so would open
the gates for a generation of commercial colonization, but actual progress in
returning capitalism to the United States. The cost would be supply shortages
to the USEconomy, a result of enormous export increases to China. The
colonization has already begun, with secret deals galore. As Ron Paul has
stated, one cannot blame capitalism for the current failure, since we have
had almost none!
The Gold
price will find its true value and price over $10,000 per ounce. The Silver
price will find its true value and price over $300 per ounce. In reaching
these levels, the ratio will return to the 30-1 range. Several steps have
been laid out by the Hat Trick Letter toward the return of proper price to
precious metals. The major upcoming events will be exciting to watch unfold,
one after the other, in an inevitable sequence away from fascism and
concentrated uni-polar power, with a strong movement toward freedom and
equitable systems with distributed power. The steps will each involve a
quantum jump in the Gold & Silver prices. The process will take a few
years, but might be breath-taking in speed once the process is begun. The
steps involve:
- the
critical mass of rejected USTBills in trade settlement, citing its
corrupt roots and illicit monetary policy as foundation
- the
return to the Gold Trade Standard and introduction of Gold Trade Notes
as letters of credit, in replacement for a fair tangible payment system
(no more IOU coupons)
- the
recapitalization of the global banking system with Gold as primary
reserve asset, so as to relieve the grotesque stagnation, insolvency,
and dysfunction
- the
seeking of equilibrium in Supply vs Demand in the new fair uninhibited
market, with exclusive control removed from London and New York, and
placed elsewhere like in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Singapore.
- the
seeding of BRICS gold & silver backed currencies from participating
nations within the Alliance (likely several with slight variation in
features)
- the
re-opening of the gold mine industry with some blue sky, and relief from
the Evergreen element at Barrick
- the
remedy toward owners of over 40,000 tons of rehypothecated and stolen
gold in bullion banks across the world (primarily in Switzerland.

"As
a Golden Jackass subscriber, I greatly enjoy listening to your interviews
because it really lends a sense of passion that lies behind the tremendous
body of information and formulation that goes into your monthly research.
Though I must admit, it scares the hell out of me most of the time. Still, I
will not miss it for the world. I feel that having a truly objective insight
from your research, in depth analysis, and accurate forecasts gives me and my
family an important life saving advantage. And I mean that sincerely."
(MichaelS

"I
have continued my loyal patronage of your excellent commentaries not so much
because of my total agreement with your viewpoints, but because you have
proven yourself to be correct so often over the years. When you are wrong,
you have publicly admitted it. You are, I suppose by nature, an outspoken and
irreverent spokesman for TRUTH against power, which differentiates you from
almost all other pundits on world affairs."
(PaulR
in Hawaii)
"For
over five years I have been eagerly assimilating any and all free information
(articles, interviews, etc) that Jim Willie puts out there. Just recently I
finally took the plunge and became a paid subscriber. I regret not doing this
much sooner, as my expectations were blown away with the vast amount of
sourced information, analysis tied together, and logical forecasts contained
in each report."
(JosephM

"Jim
Willie is a gift to our age who is the only clear voice sounding the alarm of
the extreme financial crisis facing the Western nations. He has unique skills
of unbiased analysis with synthesis of information from his valuable sources.
Since 2007, he has made over 17 correct forecast calls, each at least a year
ahead of time. If you read his work or listen to his interviews, you will see
what has been happening, know what to expect, and know what to do."
(Charles
in New Mexico)
"A
Paradigm change is occurring for sure. Your reports and analysis are historic
documents, allowing future generations to have an accurate account of what
and why things went wrong so badly. There is no other written account that
strings things along on the timeline, as your writings do. I share them with
a handful of incredibly influential people whose decisions are greatly
impacted by having the information in the Jackass format. The system is
coming apart on such a mega scale that it is difficult to wrap one's head
around where all this will end. But then, the universe strives for
equilibrium and all will eventually balance out."
