I have written of “CARTEL
RULE #1” countless times before; but in light of the current global economic
collapse, I thought it a good time to expand on this concept.
For those not aware of such rules, they represent repetitive patterns
I have observed in my “TEN YEARS OF HEAVEN AND HELL,” soon to be eleven.
Fewer than a handful of people are more aware
of the U.S. government’s daily “manipulation operatives”; and per previous
RANTS – like the “DOW JONES PROPAGANDA AVERAGE” – my range of expertise is far
broader than just PAPER PM markets.
By “definition, “CARTEL
RULE #1” is thou shalt not allow PMs to soar when the Dow plunges.
Practically speaking, it can be broken down to a more qualitative definition;
that is, PMs are not to be viewed as the SAFE HAVENS they have always been.
Thus, it’s no surprise
how often we see “MORPH DAY” algorithms; in other words, early PM
strength coupled with early Dow weakness; which mysteriously reverse
180 degrees by day’s end – typically “inflecting” at either 10:00 AM EST (the
conclusion of global PHYSICAL TRADING), or 12:00 PM EST (what I deem the “cap
of last resort”)…
“CARTEL RULE #1” has been
around as long as I have been in the sector – i.e., May 2002 – but NEVER has
it been more pervasive. In fact, this rule is as “valuable” as a
PROPAGANDA tool as in actually moving markets; as the MSM invariably operates
under the mantra of “market action makes commentary.” In other words,
even if market movements make little or no sense; you can count on the
MSM to say “stocks up, gold down on anticipated economic recovery” EVERY TIME
it’s invoked.
The reasons behind the 13-year
PM bull have little or nothing to do with whether a “recovery”
is actually ongoing; as “IT’S NOT THE ECONOMY, STUPID.” However, TPTB’s modus
operandi is to convince the masses it is; and thus, if they could just
generate a recovery – FRAUDULENT or otherwise – perhaps rising stocks (and
falling PMs) will become a self-fulfilling prophecy…
The “Undisputed Housing Recovery” is
Unmissable on this New Home Sales Chart
Such “green shoots” have
come a dime a dozen from the government’s PROPAGANDA MACHINE since
2008’s Global Meltdown I. However, they NEVER pan out; and
today, have virtually ZERO chance; given the nation’s massive DEBT, the global
RECESSION, and record worldwide INFLATION. Consequently, “CARTEL
RULE #1” has been invoked more than EVER.
TPTB know too well
of PM’s historical performance in times of CRISIS; and thus, will do anything
to prevent the PERCEPTION of such from arising. Heck, they no longer
allow the Dow to EVER meaningfully decline; as during 2013, it has only
fallen more than 1% once (1.5%, on February 13th), with
only one 2% down day in ALL of 2012…
In fact, as this stellar,
zero volatility Dow performance has been achieved…
…every imaginable equity-negative
factor has occurred; from the expanding recession in Europe; yielding
a market decline so severe, the ECB declared it would do “whatever it takes”
to save the Euro…
Europe’s recession deepened in 4th
quarter as economy shrank 0.6%
…as the Bank of Japan
commenced “THE FINAL CURRENCY WAR,” in response to its own, severe
recession…
BoJ reiterates ‘whatever it takes’
stance on deflation
…let alone, last month’s
“FINANCIAL 9/11”…
Euro-zone Cyprus Theft of Bank
Deposits Serious Unintended Consquences
…and a REAL U.S. economy
so weak…
…the Fed not only
extended ZIRP to mid-2015, but commenced QE3 and QE4 – within the
space of three months…
Conversely – to demonstrate
how FEARFUL TPTB have become, they have capped ALL PM rallies for the past
two years; containing prices in tight, volatile trading ranges to
scare people away…
…as part of what appears
to be an ALL OUT, 24/7 Cartel Rule #1 strategy”…
The flaw of such
an undertaking, of course, is REALITY; which ALWAYS wins out. The laws
of “Economic Mother Nature” cannot be avoided by manipulating markets; as if
they could, the other 599 fiat currencies throughout history would not
have failed…
Research Shows ALL Paper Money
Systems Failed
In fact, this heightened
level of MONEY PRINTING, MARKET MANIPULATION, and PROPAGANDA will only make
the current, gross economic and market distortions grow worse;
ultimately, yielding history’s MOST VIOLENT VIOLATION of “CARTEL RULE #1”
EVER.
