Unlocking the Money Matrix: Gold Price Suppression

Your description of the scheme makes no sense. GS leases the gold sells it under conditions orchestrated to fetch them the lowest possible price and then what? You don't mention how they return the gold. If it's leased, then aren't they supposed to give it back. If they are going to just keep making lease payments indefinitely, why would they do that. And why would they dump it, if they're so smart about manipulating markets, wouldn't they want to fetch the highest price? Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like anyone can publish an article on SA with the words "gold", "Goldman Sachs" and "conspiracy" and no one will question anything. Your starting quote about gold being "sovereign of all sovereigns" makes you a little hard to take seriously from the get go, that just smacks of idolatry. Do you fondle your Kruggerands? I would be happy to consider a rational argument for the gold standard, there are alot of factors that need to be taken into consideration and all sides need to have an open mind.

How Investors Can Trade the Dollar

Is the U.S. Dollar Headed for a Mighty Crash? Part I

A weak dollar is the first step to reclaiming our manufacturing base. The only loss will be in our ability to import foreign goods, which I see as more of a benefit. Does that make us a banana republic? It means our currency is more reflective of our trade balance which has been sick for decades, that is called facing reality. Our trade 'partners' have been playing games with their currencies to gain competitive advantage for years. Just like we won the cold war outspending the Russians, now we will win the trade war the same way. That said, I don't believe in bailing out zombie companies, we should just let them die to keep our economy healthy.
