    I heard that covert electronic devices have been inserted into 1966 50c coins. Or maybe it was LSD (MKUltra obviously). I'll just go lick a few 50s to be sure.

    It's a remarkably shallow little article and I'm not certain what purpose the author had in mind when writing it, except to perhaps associate gold with conspiracy nutters. If one were interested in steering investors away from gold purchases then that would be a lazy but effective way of stigmatising the metal. What would have been more interesting is a discussion of how the complex interplay of factors affecting the gold price can be perceived as being the result of deliberate pattern of manipulation by unseen others.

    Humans have always seen patterns in chaotic and semiregular events. We used to think it was the gods. Or the spirits. Now, for some, it's the NWO folk. Maybe it is or maybe it's just pareidolia.

    Sorry I have so many things to do here in my geo orbit that I sometimes miss yells from the surface especially if they come from the underground.

    2011 -455
    2012 -544.1
    2013 -368.6 > 409.3
    2014Q12 -242.1

    See those 2 2013 figures?
    Well, that is a revision, much like Thomson Reuters revises SilverInstitute published figures upto 5 years later (more possible).
    One may now wonder this: government/official sales are the fastest and most published ones. For this same reason, official mint sales are (or nearly are, didn't came across an occasion so far) never corrected afterwards.
    Yet, and apparently (as shown above) there are quite big revisions.
    This is an old report from gold.org about 2013 Q4:
    http://www.gold.org/news-and-events...d-gold-unprecedented-levels-2013-china-worlds
    This is the most recent report:
    http://www.gold.org/supply-and-dema...n=Published+today:+Gold+Demand+Trends+Q2+2014
    Published 14th August 2014
    Column 2 below, total 2013: 409.3 tonnes.
    So central banks bought 40.7 tonnes more in 2013, and only reported it somewhere between 18 feb and now.
    The difference is 11% of the original figure.
    So apparently, central banks don't provide gold.org with accurate figures.
    And they are able to do so, it's themselves that decided to buy/sell the gold. If they don't do so, then it means that they don't care much about people on markets being passed 10% errors.

    This was Pirocco from High In The Sky. Peace over there on the surface. Don't step in horse shit. :D

    And how many 'stackers' ie at least partial NWO conspiracy believers have already sold out after all the poor numbers in the last 12-18months.

    The NWO story is getting very old.....But there is still a thread of hope for some???

    Btw, there is alot talk about central banks net buying / net selling gold.
    'Net' means a change to the outside.
    A purchase requires a seller.
    A sale requires a buyer.
    Which "private" companies buy it from them?
    And which sold it to them?
    It would be interesting to know :D
    Because, since central banks net buying / selling history clearly proves that they sell low and buy high, we talk here about many billions sponsoring.

    the CBs buying were not just buying of gold, but a shift out of US treasuries to gold, it was conducted with some help and facilities. we saw banks paying big fines, and some bail in. More will be going on too, since there are endless amount of money being converted, the 38,000 tonnes is the minimum required amount to really tipping the balance. The depletion rate at 1,000 tonnes a month is moving at the speed of an old locomotive engine. Now we know levitation speed for bullet trains :) I just wonder if gold is on board of the bullet speed trains, what will it be, if suddenly the fast moving train is full stopped.

    Jan 2014 5841.3
    Jun 2014 6013.2 (latest)

    What's this then?
    To me, it looks more like a shift IN.
    So they bought gold, so far +1727.5 tonnes since 2010, AND US Treasuries. :D
    If they would sell all that extra gold again (back to 2009) today in a single operation, and Joe the gold market price adjuster sleeps so that golds price doesn't drop with every 100 ounce chunk they sell, then those that buy that gold from them, would have to pay for this 55.54 Moz gold a Grand Total of 55.54 Moz * $1304.5/oz = $USD 72,45 billion
    So that Grand Total of Treasuries is 6013.2 / 72.45 = 83 times the value of this gold.
    And that's in the ideal situation of a spot price that doesn't get adjusted down while they are selling.
    Doesn't look like gold has much importance to them.
    And they like to sell it low and buy it high too.
    It's more like they wanna empty the pockets of those that sit on your Gold Train :D

    It is Freemason/Illuminati/Ernst and Young/Rothschilds/Jesuit propaganda to divert attention from the giant insect overlords who live amonst us in human form.

    Reptilians, not insects. Shape-shifting lizards in fact who have infiltrated and cross-bred with humans. They walk amongst us: http://rense.com/general56/liz.htm

    Edit: Oh crap, I just realised (at least) one of them is a stacker and highly active member of the forum: http://forums.silverstackers.com/profile.php?id=1430

    That's it, I'm dead.

    Who are the super rich "elite" Illuminati and their associates? The Queen of England, her husband Prince Philip and the Royal House of Windsor, the hierarchy on the board of directors of the Vatican, including the Pope; the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans,Duponts, Fords, Carnegies,Melons,Bush's etc.

    SilverPete, your link to the above article clearly identifies Cardinal George Pell as an Illuminati .... there cause is lost!

    Too much inbreeding is sure to lead to the occasional village idiot, although Pell does come up with some evocative phrases: "...a symptom of pagan emptiness, of Western fear when confronted by the immense and basically uncontrollable forces of nature. In the past pagans sacrificed animals and even humans in vain attempts to placate capricious and cruel gods. Today they demand a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions."

    While still on the subject of Lizard People, I just realised Sammy Silver is an anagram of Smarmy Elvis. And we all know Elvis was one of the lizard people, although he was affiliated with the good faction. I believe this is confirmation the currency of the NWO will be pegged to 1966 round 50's.
