Gold Slam is a Massive Wealth Transfer from Our Pockets to the Banks

- Chris Martenson -

Great article Chris. What you demonstrate is that when you own the game the rules do not apply to you. Just like those with power and influence can frequently influence the courts and buy absolution for criminal behaviour so governments and their cronies at Central banks and big business can do as they like. I had a recent experience at a state government White Paper meeting to modify local council requirements where I asked if the state government was making changes to make local councils follow their own mandatory documentation as these were essentially the 'rules'. I was amazed when informed (twice) that "councils may do as they please". So just like government generally only the population is required to be law abiding whilst governments may lie, cheat, manipulate and be unlawful if they so choose. They do choose!!

I am very sympathetic to your argument Chris as I understand that average citizens are but pawns in the game. Governments tax us all (well, not the rich) and then try to steal what is left so that they can go on a drunken spending spree with no end.

My thoughts about gold.......buy as much of the physical stuff as I can afford so that when their game collapses I will have something of value. But the trouble is that when that day comes there will be a knock on my door from a government representative demanding that hand over my gold for worthless fiat paper money. Truly the system is designed so that average citizens are always the mugs who take all the risks and if successful against the odds are done over again.

You are correct about the mainstream press which of course is owned by big business which in turn is a cronie of government. Conspiracy theory, maybe, but that is how it all stacks up.

Thanks again for your article.

The most recent gold bear raid has vastly enriched the bullion bankers, once again, at the expense of everyone trying to protect their wealth from global central bank money printing. The central plank of Bernanke's magic recovery plan has been to get everybody back borrowing, spending, and "investing" in stocks, bonds, and other financial assets... Read More
