 America's Forgotten War Against the Central Banks |
| "Let me issue and control a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes
its laws." (Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty)
Many prominent Americans such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and
Andrew Jackson have argued and fought against the central banking polices used
throughout Europe.
A note issued by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve Note, is bank
currency. These notes are given to the government in exchange for an interest-bearing

The Speculative Episode  |
| The following text is a quote from the book A Short History of Financial Euphoria by John Kenneth Galbraith. I found this material to be very fitting and for that reason I wanted to share it with you.

Today, I promised that we would take a look at some of these “supply and demand for gold” factors that Sumner talks about. Supply is pretty stable during this time, either in terms of mining or aboveground gold, so it is really about demand.

| “In the end, trees don’t grow to the sky, and few things go to zero. Rather, most phenomena turn out to be cyclical.” ― Howard Marks, Oaktree Capital
These charts are dedicated to those who understand the wisdom the legendary investor, Howard Marks, is attempting to impart. His observation resides at the philosophical core of the enlightened gold owner. Why? Because he or she understands the cyclical certainty (or is it uncertainty?) of markets and the economy, indeed the cyclical certainty Tuesday, December 20, 2016 |

| Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes: Gold Does Not Offer a Safe Harbor Against Financial Crises |
| "Gold has worked down from Alexander's time... When something holds good for two thousand years I do not believe it can be so because of prejudice or mistaken theory."
Bernard Baruch
Gold has moved in price from $250 in 2000 to $1,350 today. And given the structure of supply and demand it is likely to go much higher unless it becomes a fixed asset in a global monetary system once again.
Don't buy any, don't like it. It doesn't matter.

| Paul Krugman On Money: Why Economics Has Become a Disgraced Profession |
| "I write to you from a disgraced profession. Economic theory, as widely taught since the 1980s, failed miserably to understand the forces behind the financial crisis.
Concepts including “rational expectations,” “market discipline,” and the “efficient markets hypothesis” led economists to argue that speculation would stabilize prices, that sellers would act to protect their reputations, that caveat emptor could be relied on, and that widespread fraud therefore could not occur."

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - 146,000 Ounces Come Out of JPM's Registered Inventory |
| There were a few notable changes in the Comex gold warehouse inventory yesterday, as 146,000 ounces of gold had their warrants cancelled and were adjusted from 'registered' to 'eligible.'
What is particularly interesting about this is that it knocked the deliverables down back down to 600,000 ounces, with almost half of those held by Scotia Mocatta.
It would certainly be interesting if we knew exactly who held what, and what their net positions might be. And it would certainly be fun if I knSaturday, December 14, 2013 |

| Gold and silver largely chopped today with a slight downward bias, but nothing of real consequence.
There was a small amount of movement of gold out of the Scotia Mocatta warehouse on Friday. The report is shown below.
The way to play the precious metals market is to not take leveraged or timed (option) positions. Why is this?
Because the markets are being price manipulated, like the currency markets, LIBOR, base metals, and quite a few others it seems.

| China’s Gold Coup d’Etat |
| China has imported an unprecedented amount of gold bullion in 2013. So much so, that if it were to maintain the current pace, it would import nearly the equivalent of global production for the year. When the news first filtered out of China on the amounts of gold being mobilized through its Shanghai Gold Exchange, the numbers seemed too large to be believed. The obvious question became "What is the source of this extraordinary amount of gold bullion?" It was only in October when Reuters reported that much of that gold had been shipped from London-based exchange traded funds to Switzerland for refining into smaller Asia-friendly bars and then on to HongMonday, November 4, 2013 |

The United Kingdom’s gold exports to Switzerland jumped from 85tonnes to 1,016tonnes in the first eight months of 2013 — a twelve times increase. Some bullion market watchers attribute the huge increase to withdrawals or sales from ETFs — an explanation that covers only half the story…….if that.Monday, October 21, 2013 |

and rescued by the Fed's clandestine intervention in the stock index futures
market, for the past 4-½-years, it's easy to forget that there was
