Libor, Euribor, ISDAfix, Energy Prices, Gold Spot Prices... What If All Prices Were Manipulated ?

- Philippe Herlin - GoldBroker

Not to appear Mac Slavo paranoid or anything, but are you not at all concerned that your very friendly (and overly curious) uncle-- you know, the one whose likeness is found on many recruiting posters-- may show an unnatural level of curiosity in certain parts of some of your posts? i understand he has spared no expense in building a place out in Utah to preserve every detail of your life. (He must love you very much.)

While i am absolutely convinced that you remit all of the various tributes that your uncle demands of you (tough love) for your cabbages, potatoes and whatever services you may provide in your capacity as the town haruspex, i fear you may have gone too far with this post and given your uncle the means to go after you for your bold admission of manipulating the cabbage market. How else could you possibly explain knowing months in advance what the future price will be unless you are the Jamie Dimon of the cabbage patch?

More seriously though, this entire NSA surveillance state thing is pretty serious stuff and in terms of why it was set up, catching terrorists is probably, in terms of their priorities, a third tier item. Top of the list is gathering dirt on politicians (foreign and domestic). As Hoover (J. Edgar, not Herbie) and every other blackmailer in history has shown, that is how you control them. Number 2 is money. They are desperate for it to keep the bondholders happy (and their heads firmly attached to their bodies) and will use it to go after anyone they think has withheld a nickel. (Do not think that special attention is not being paid to sites such as this one hoping to learn who is buying gold and platinum.) As for the showcased supposed purpose of the program, catching terrorists, it is likely about as high of a priority for the NSA as repealing the nation's drug laws is for those who own prisons. Just as the prison owners need a never ending supply of illegal drug users getting busted to keep their doors open, the NSA needs for there to be a credible threat manifesting itself once every few years to justify keeping their doors open.

Beginning of the headline :We are now familiar with the Libor manipulation scandal, which extends into other related rates, like Euribor. More recently, we’ve seen the ISDAfix, the reference rate for rates derivatives, make the headlines for the same reasons : large banks getting together to manipulate it. Not too long ago, we learned that JP Morgan and Barclays were accused of manipulating energy prices.
