long-gone >the (written)request of any respected professional(perhaps with a small political check contribution attached) in your country might even get your equal of our SEC or CFTC to request copies of evidence from the Blanchard Vs. Barrick JP Morgan lawsuit to bring about a full bore(Public Press Release?)criminal investigation of JP Morgan Barrick for Gold Price Manipulation & Conspiracy.

The Blanchard case is indeed very interesting but no-one in the whole world, even a judge, can pre-judge it at this stage. Surely it must take it's course and if the evidence is there the result must follow. I understand that's what's called "Due Process".

I don't believe the SA government is party to conspiracies against the gold price, in fact, I am sure the SA gov would be delighted if the POG was to rise significantly. However, SA's largest gold miner, AngloGold, has always played "both sides of the street" when it came to dealing with the bullion banks and forward selling and one never knew exactly what its position was. On the other hand, Goldfields and Harmony, SA's next two big gold-mining groups play "straight cards" and their profitability, and therefore taxation to the state, is directly related to the gold price. You can be sure that if they knew of anything they could do to raise the POG they would do it.
