Dark and powerful forces oppose gold & silver, as these precious metals are the historical clarion call that could derail the funding mechanism of their illicit power. The Federal Reserve, elements of the US Government, and the shadowy corporate fascists behind them can only manifest the illusion of wealth, but they are magicians of the highest order. What they create is debt, but their illusion of money shines like gold! It looks like silver!
So they spin straw into gold on the commodity exchange, and they own the media. It is they who control the stage, spin the news, and command the spotlight as they astound and amaze the sheople with wizardry and distraction. Of course, it's a trick. A very good trick, but still a trick.
Thanks to people like Ted Butler, and organizations like the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee [gata.org], the overwhelming anecdotal evidence of manipulation in the gold and silver markets has come to light. However, Goldbugs should well remember that mining company Barrick Gold admitted in open court [Blanchard & Co vs. Barrick Gold & JP Morgan Chase - US District Court, New Orleans, 2003] that they participated in manipulating the gold market. Their defense was they were acting as agents of the central banks, and should therefore be granted "sovereign immunity". Of course, this admission was ignored by the main street financial media and market regulators. Why wasn't that enough? What more do they need?
The manipulation of gold and silver market is so blatant, the hubris so in-your-face, that perhaps we should all take a step back and consider this ongoing outrage within the context of the bigger historical picture and what we observe developing in America today. Otherwise, I am afraid we will never stop the manipulation - no matter how obvious, no matter how many letters we write.
First - we need to face the fact that the U.S. is the largest manufacturer of weapons in the world, and that the Federal Reserve enriches itself at our expense by funding war. War is a racket, unless a country is defending against a direct attack - it always has been, always will be. Now consider the fact that government documents obtained through the Freedom Of Information Act revealed that the Gulf of Tonkin incident, used as justification to enter the Vietnam War, was an outright lie perpetrated by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, President Lyndon Johnson, and our military leaders. Over 58,000 Americans, average age 19, died. Over 1 million Vietnamese died. Has anyone ever been held accountable? No.
During the Vietnam War, silver was removed from our coins, and the Federal Reserve printed so much money funding it that President Richard Nixon defaulted on the Bretton Woods Agreement, or gold-standard backing the US dollar. Now, I think writing the regulators and our elected officials is a constructive thing to do, but I doubt the heartless creatures who perpetrate such an atrocity, who run and fund "Weapons R Us" are worried about a pimple on an elephant's butt, such as we individual Goldbugs. Are we really going to stand in their way of conducting business as usual by complaining to the deaf, dumb and blind regulators that are controlled by them or come from their ranks?
Today we have the Iraq War, based on phantom WMD's, and outright lies. Afghanistan is proving twice as deadly for U.S. troops so far. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens are dead. More debt has been created funding these imperial invasions, billions in have flowed to the bankers and defense contractors, trillions before it is over and for what? Does anybody remember Osama Bin Laden? All the Taliban said was "You may have Osama Bin Laden if you like, just present us with evidence that he perpetrated 9/11". A reasonable request considering the fact that the FBI to this day has yet to charge Bin Laden for 9/11 because they admit they don't have enough hard evidence.
9/11 is the Gulf of Tonkin of our day. There - I said it! It is the fulcrum upon which our beloved country has swung into constructing of a full fledged, high-tech, militarized police state. As the seventh anniversary of that fateful day approaches, if you have not even considered whether 9/11 was an "inside job", then you deserve whatever you get in the financial markets because you know nothing of history and chose to be willfully ignorant. History is full of one account after another of leaders or governments staging false flag events, or crises in order to engage in war, overthrow governments, or promote fear to establish greater control over the real enemy - the people. From Ceasar, to Nero, to Hitler, to Johnson, to Bush!
For those of you naive enough to think "our loving government would never do such a thing", see Operation Northwoods [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods ], or the Tuskegee Experiment [ http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2002/jul/tuskegee/ ], or Operation Ajax, where the CIA admits on their own website to overthrowing the leader of Iran, Dr. Mohammed Mossadeq, by the use of "...propaganda, provocations, demonstrations, and bribery, and employed agents of influence, "false flag" operatives, dissident military leaders, and paid protestors." [ https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol48no2/article10.html ]. They installed the Shah, created SAVAC - the dreaded secret police, and commenced a 25 year reign of terror and torture. This is America's legacy in Iran.
These techniques were used against scores of other countries, and now have been turned inward against us. The 9/11 Commission Report belongs in the fiction section of the Library, right next to the Warren Commission Report. Even the appointed chairmen of the commission, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton admit in their book "Without Precedent", that they were set up to fail, that the CIA intentionally impeded the investigation, that pentagon officials lied, that military officers from NORAD gave several different accounts regarding response timelines. Of course, like market-manipulation conspiracy theorists, if you even bring the subject up you are a tin-foil-hat-wearing kook! Yet, has even one person ever been held accountable for 9/11? Lost their job? Or even been demoted? No. Talk about hubris!
I'm not going to cover the entire 9/11 case for inside job here. For more information, I recommend the website Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth [ http://www.ae911truth.org/ ] . They have approached 9/11 purely from a scientific, structural and engineering standpoint, and the evidence they have compiled of an inside job is more than compelling. Also, there are a number of excellent books written by David Ray Griffin, including "9/11 Commission Report - Omissions and Distortions" [ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6837001821567284154 ]. You can also contact me for more resources and information.
The War on Terror is a phantom, the perfect creation for endless war for the benefit of expanding executive and state power, for enriching war mongers and their financiers, all based on a phantom. Al Qaeda was created as an intelligence asset of the CIA, who has always known where Osama is [probably dirt-napping]. They will never find him because they need him to perpetuate their hoax. Until we face this reality and do something about it, the iron fisted grip of fascism will only tighten, as there is no gentle slope into tyranny. Isn't this what we are witnessing in America? We now live in a country where:
The markets are rigged to enrich the rulers and corporate elite.
Read Ted Butler, Jim Rogers, Gata.org, Sprott Asset Management report on Gold Manipulation
See Bear Sterns takeover by JP Morgan, Fannie/Freddie bailout
The media is controlled.
Govt funded fake news reports
Behind TV Analysts, Pentagons Hidden Hand
Tim Russert Interview
Elections are staged.
No "change" will come from sock-puppet McBama, you may rest assured. Their foreign policies are identical. Both will do nothing about the fraudulent, out of control Federal Reserve. Both want to expand the war on terror. Both want to increase the number of troops in Afghanistan. Both support foreign intervention and empire building. Both support the revised FISA bill, retroactively legalizing illegal warrantless spying on US citizens. Both dutifully accept the discredited 9/11 Commission Report.
Free speech and truth is suppressed
Able Danger
Sibel Edmonds is a whistleblower who is the most gagged person in US history. We're supposed to submit to illegal searches and suspicionless checkpoints on the basis of "if you have nothing to hide, then what's the problem?". If the government has nothing to hide, then let Sibel Edmunds speak. I think that would also apply to an audit of this country's gold inventory.
Torture, even torture of children, is condoned
John Yoo, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Bush Administration, co-authored a 2002 justice department memorandum authorizing torture, and later claimed that President Bush had the authority to crush the testicles of a child in front of its parents.
Yoo 2003 memorandum
Yoo Weasel
Citizens have no privacy, while the Government operates in ever increasing secrecy
The NSA has admitted to tracking every phone call you make, every email you send, every website you visit. In some airports, traveler's naked bodies are examined via x-ray. If the Bush administration wasn't guilty of a crime, then why did Congress need to pass a retroactive law saying its OK for Bush to spy on us without at warrant, and absolving the phone companies who assisted?
Michael Hayden, then head of NSA, now head of the CIA
Raiding Democracy - the right to protest peacefully is as American as the right to bear arms. At least it used to be.
Secret COG Plans
The military is the police
Most in law enforcement today couldn't recite the Bill of Rights if their life depended on it. Shameful. For you policemen out there - "following orders" didn't cut it for the Nazis, and won't cut it for you. Follow your oath and defend the Constitution.
I could go on and on. These are the characteristics of a fascist regime - not a Constitutional Republic, where the individual is sovereign, and civil liberties reign supreme above the state machine! Naomi Wolff outlined further disturbing elements of fascism in America in her excellent article, Fascist America, in 10 Easy Steps [ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/apr/24/usa.comment ]
We all know the merchants of death and their financiers can't produce real gold by banging keys on a computer or spinning a good story. We all recognize that things are so far out of whack, the precious metals market has taken a turn towards the surreal. The $XAU [a pm stock index] has fallen below $150 - a 1988 level when gold was trading at $500/oz! Only 1.5% of existing gold supply is added each year through mining, and demand has continued to outstrip supply. They are running out of gold that they are willing to part with, and they have run out of silver. This precious metals charade must come to a close. The question is when? How many more circuses, sex scandals, conventions, hurricanes, provocations, wars, and rumors of wars do they have left up their sleeve to keep the sheople distracted and afraid?
Most importantly, what is their endgame? They know they can't keep up the manipulation. We know it is the key to their financial vault, and that they are not going to go quietly into the night. In the meantime, I am sick of the lies, propaganda, and fake reality - and I am tired of being ripped off in the name of national security, or to save a diseased and corrupt financial system. Is it possible for Goldbugs to unite under one banner as a political force to press candidates on their committment to uphold the Constitution, demand 9/11 truth and accountability, demand reform in our financial markets, and remove power from an increasing tyrannical state? It is to dream.
I don't have all the answers. I only know whether we like or not - there is an information and economic war being waged against us. I would prefer a peaceful revolution of info-bombs, but the merchants of death may have other ideas. There is nothing I would put past these creatures to avoid a gold & silver "checkmate" and we are literally one more major false flag event away from a declaration of Marshall Law, the equivalent of tossing over the chessboard - when it won't matter anymore whether you "got gold"! Money, history, and reality will be whatever they say it is, and any form of dissent will buy you a one way ticket to Gitmo or a FEMA work camp.
