Sorry to burst your bubble but the people at GATA had shares in Gold and they were trying to force them to sell them at below market value. The gold market is being suppressed to keep the value of the dollar in the world market stronger than it really is. Your future is banking on this because if the value of the dollar is artificially inflated when the bubble bursts all your dollars are virtually worthless. Many countries including Russia are returning or comtemplating going back to the gold standard, making the dollar worthless because it is not backed by anything. You know all those gold bars that WERE at Fort Knox, they are gone, the private bankers own them now. Your personal property and your labor, in the form of tax revenues, is what is backing the money of this country, it has been used for collateral. You might want to contact your congressmen.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Please rewrite this sentence in standard English--or are you trying to say that GATA were trying to force a sale below market value of their own shares?

The gold market is being suppressed to keep the value of the dollar in the world market stronger than it really is.

Oh, really? How does that happen? I want to see details of the mechanism by which some impersonal force magically supresses demand for gold. Do they want the government to force people to buy gold or something?

Your future is banking on this because if the value of the dollar is artificially inflated when the bubble bursts all your dollars are virtually worthless.

And, of course, if the value of the dollar is NOT artificially inflated, GATA's gold shares never will skyrocket in value like they want.

Many countries including Russia are returning or comtemplating going back to the gold standard, making the dollar worthless because it is not backed by anything.

In which case, since we have a lot of foreigners holding dollar-denominated debt, those folks are going to be SOL.

You know all those gold bars that WERE at Fort Knox, they are gone, the private bankers own them now. Your personal property and your labor, in the form of tax revenues, is what is backing the money of this country, it has been used for collateral.

You've obviously never heard the line about how when you owe the bank $6,000, the bank owns you, but when you owe them $6,000,000,000,000, it's a case of YOU owning the bank.

You might want to contact your congressmen.

Sure thing. BTW, welcome back to FR. How long before you're banned THIS time, Patriot76?
