Searle,

Question: If the mine workers union that cheers uncle bill
would tell its members to all stop mining the gold until those
fat cats bill speaks about,...

... those that are sucking the life blood from South Africa
so that once their gold mining industry collapses they can
come in and take over,

cry uncle bill to stop, then would this work in a similiar manner
like if the Middle East oil workers stopped pumping?

I realize that oil is needed, unlike the physical gold,
but just might the mention of a possible "work stopage"
by the gold mine union cause a possible short squeeze?

We all know uncle bill has zero control over those he is fighting,
and very limited leverage over any gold producer's management,
but the workers are at the bottom where crap flow down-to
and they most likely have no warm & fuzzyness towards
the bankers and upper management of the gold producer.

This could happen as a rumor, a nation wide strike,
and if so things might both change very quickly
as in "forget yesterday, todays a new ball game."

Imagine, uncle bill & the hard laboring workers might do
in a single day what gata etc has so far been unable to
make more than a small dent.
