One of the key considerations in gold has been the redemption of more than 10 million ounces (over $15 billion) since year end from the world’s largest gold Exchange Traded Fund, GLD. I believe that the big buyer of the 10 million ounces of gold liquidated in the GLD was JPMorgan, either alone or with other collusive commercial banks.
I’m not suggesting that JPMorgan did anything wrong by intentionally evading SEC reporting requirements. That potential infraction pales in comparison to the real crime. In this crime (actually more egregious in silver than in gold) the crooked bank manipulated gold prices lower, via the usual COMEX price-fixing mechanics, to induce GLD shareholders to sell. This was a planned and executed operation that left no stone unturned.
It appears to me that JPMorgan and their ilk have bought absolutely massive quantities of gold and silver in many different markets. Unfortunately, much of that buying has come as a result of the deliberate and successful manipulation of price in order to force others to sell. I don’t believe that is fair or even legal. Nevertheless the bloodless verdict of the market suggests we are going a lot higher at some point soon. [Read more...]
Ted Butler: Blockbuster in Gold as JP Morgan Likely Acquired 10 M oz of Gold Liquidated by GLD
Waking Up to $4,000/oz Gold…And Nothing Offered
“We will go to bed with Gold at $1,500 and wake up with it $4,000 bid…and nothing offered“- Reg Howe
This quote by Mr. Howe sounds crazy. It sounds impossible and sounds like the rantings of a raving lunatic right? Well, no it doesn’t. Actually, I believe that something resembling this will not only happen but has to happen. Logically, mathematically and just pure structurally an event very similar is locked, loaded ready for the trigger to be pulled. [Read more...]
7 Things About The Mainstream Media That They Do Not Want You To Know
A growing minority of Americans are waking up and are starting to reject the mainstream media. An increasing number of people are beginning to recognize that the mainstream media is the mouthpiece of the establishment and that it is promoting the agenda of the establishment.
So why is the mainstream media so bad?
The following are 7 things about the mainstream media that they do not want you to know… [Read more...]
Motive, Means, & Opportunity in the Gold Market
The various governments of the world and their central banks produce and distribute a product – paper currencies. Those currencies are backed by confidence, faith, and credit, but not by gold, oil, or anything real. Those currencies are digitally printed to excess, since almost all governments spend more than their revenues. The UK, Japan, and the USA are prime examples.
Central banks and governments have, to one degree or another, the motive, means, and opportunity to manage the price of gold. Clearly, their bias is to hold the price of gold low and to restrict its upward movement. Similarly, they want bond and stock markets to move higher, but that is another story.
YOU have motive, means, and opportunity to protect yourself and to profit from this process. [Read more...]
Ron Paul: The IRS’s Job Is To Violate Our Liberties
The bipartisan tradition of using the IRS as a tool to harass political opponents suggests that the problem is deeper than just a few “rogue” IRS agents—or even corruption within one, two, three or many administrations. Instead, the problem lays in the extraordinary power the tax system grants the IRS.
The IRS routinely obtains information about how we earn a living, what investments we make, what we spend on ourselves and our families, and even what charitable and religious organizations we support. Starting next year, the IRS will be collecting personally identifiable health insurance information in order to ensure we are complying with Obamacare’s mandates.
The current tax laws even give the IRS power to marginalize any educational, political, or even religious organizations whose goals, beliefs, and values are not favored by the current regime by denying those organizations “tax-free” status. This is the root of the latest scandal involving the IRS
As the first US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall said, “The power to tax is the power to destroy” — and who better to destroy than one’s political enemies? The very purpose of the IRS is to transfer wealth from one group to another while violating our liberties in the process, thus the only way Congress can protect our freedoms is to repeal the income tax and shutter the doors of the IRS once and for all.

Silver Recoups Sharp Loss And Rises 2% On Record Volume & Outside Reversal
Silver’s recovery yesterday from being 10% lower at one stage to recouping these losses and then rising over 2% was very positive technically. The key reversal is leading some to postulate that we may have seen the bottom or are close to a bottom. This theory is bolstered by the fact that the 10% losses were due to a handful of a very large trades in a low volume session in Asia, while silver’s subsequent 12% reversal to the upside came amid extremely high trading volume with silver trading volume 82% higher than the 100 day moving average on the COMEX.Silver’s fall could have been related to the gyrating yen dollar price as some hedge funds and banks use proprietary trading systems and sharp losses in a leveraged yen dollar position could have led to forced liquidation of silver. However, the scale of the 10% loss in the silver market, and only the silver market suffered such large losses, would suggest that it was not simply due to margin selling on yen speculation losses. Rather, the scale of selling suggests one or two massive sellers, likely institutional, who were determined to force the silver price lower, possibly in order to close or buy back underwater short positions.

Jim Willie: Bullion Bank Run in Progress, Climax Coming!
“Hang on to your gold [and silver], don’t even watch the corrupt gold price, because I can guarantee you in the next several months, or a year or more, there will be NO COMEX GOLD PRICE. Because they will have no inventory; they will offer no more futures contracts, because the line up for lawsuits and prosecution will be so long…”
Jim Willie says the recent gold price take-down has caused, “A bank run in gold bullion banks. It’s a vault run. . . Wealthy investors are asking for their gold, and some are finding out it’s not there.” Jim Willie, who holds a PhD in statistics, says things are getting worse. Dr. Willie contends, “Back in 2011 and 2012, you had an important event every three of four months. Now, it’s every two or three weeks. So, the mean time between failures is rapidly declining.” Dr. Willie goes on to predict, “Before, they were talking about stress tests. Now, they realize that all of them in the past were a fraud. So, they are talking about ‘bail-ins’ because they are expecting failures.” Dr. Willie contends, “It’s all coming to a climax where gold is going to be central with a gold-trade central bank and gold priced at $7,000 per ounce.” Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Jim Willie: [Read more...]

U.S. GOLD EXPORTS: Almost 130 Metric Tonnes During Jan-Feb 2013
There seems to be a great deal of the yellow metal heading out of the United States and into certain foreign countries lately. According to the USGS, the United States exported 129 metric tonnes of gold Jan-Feb, 2013. At this rate, total U.S. gold exports could reach 700-800 metric tonnes this year. With the recent take-down in the price of gold in April & May, I would imagine the United States is more than likely going to reach that figure.
If we look at the chart below we can see just who received all this gold: [Read more...]
Gold & Silver Being Held Hostage in the Ultimate Banking Crisis
This is all about a banking crises! Gold and silver are being held as hostages.
The central bankers have their overly-rehypothecated teat caught in the wringer of world-wide demand for physical gold, and they cannot get it out. Their only recourse has been to drive down, crush would be a better description, the fiat [paper] prices of gold and silver so they can “buy” time to acquire whatever physical available to cover their cheating ways.
Ironically, while these financial fiat-wizards are in a panic mode, of sorts, they are able to buy physical at somewhat lower prices and destroy the ability to take delivery for those if-you-do-not-hold-it-you-do-not-own-it paper holders upon demand. “Sorry, but you can only have paper fiat. Didn’t you read the fine print?”
As we have been saying since 35 silver, 1800 gold; 30 dollar silver, 1700 gold; 25 silver, 1500 gold, etc, the issue is not price, rather, and most importantly, it is all about having possession of the physical for which there is an insatiable demand. We have been saying this for many months: keep buying physical gold and silver regardless of price. At some point in time, it may not be available to buy, except at substantially higher prices, or not at all.
Better to be the proverbial year early than a day late.
