LOL! it's really incredible...the mania's tentacles are everywhere...
i think Kaplan is WRONG! about this. i'm not a big fan of conspiracy theories, but the evidence surrounding the gold/silver manipulation claims is extremely convincing. for me Kuwait's decision to lend out its entire gold reserve of 79 tons in the wake of the $84 Wash. agreement price spike clinched it...why would they do such a thing? does anyone really believe that Kuwait, where every citizen gets $100,000 as a birthday present from the state, where health care and education are free of charge, where oil and gas cost virtually nothing, because the country is practically drowning in petro-dollars, really needs the 2% interest income on 79 tons of gold???? gold that they will likely not see ever again??
why did they get several 100 million dollars in military aid two weeks later?
also the constant anti-gold propaganda, some subtle, some not-so-subtle, and the massive outstanding leasing short position and derivative positions on the bullion banks books, all are pointers to this being a manipulated market.
likewise the fact that gold historically has ALWAYS led the CRB index, and now isn't even following it. also the fact that it has been proven that there is a statistically extremely significant divergence between PoG performance in US and non-US trading.
too many things look simply extremely fishy...
Butler is also 100% right about silver imo...if you plot the supply/demand deficit, the inventories and the price on the same page, you can SEE that something is completely out of whack there...anybody with an IQ above room temperature can see it.
as for stock market manipulation, the maxpain concept alone proves it is rife. not to mention the end-of-quarter and end-of-month 'window dressing' ramp jobs and the miraculous spoo ramps out of the blue whenever things begin to look dicey....it is simply too obvious to be ignored. |
