Wayne,
<<So that even if the gold bugs are right in the long run, I suspect that anything and
everything will be done to depress its price in the mean time to advance the agenda of
fiat money and protect all the short positions etc...>>

I agree with all you stated, however, i have tried to go one step beyond. -g- the outer limits of speculation if you will.

The spread between xau and gold has sharply narrowed this past few weeks. Why? Volume has also been very high on the xau leaders.

i suspect that the "shorts" are hedging their shorts by going long xau, specifically the liquid majors....NEM, ABX, PDG, HM. If they lose the gold war, they win anyway by being in the xau ahead of the crowd.

Thoughts?
