"...The market systems are broken, and dysfunctional mechanisms are limping along, as corrupt paper instruments have flooded the financial system to the point of wrecking the commodity markets entirely. If such words seem prone to hyperbole or silly exaggeration, consider that some specific markets are depleted of supply and cannot honor current prices. Those prices have been recently established by force, by the future contracts, all under the watchful eyes of regulators who are totally asleep, corrupt, in the pocket of Wall Street, and whose desks are occupied by means of revolving doors and chairs with Wall Street firms. Just try to imagine the Mafia crime syndicates regulated by agencies whose officials are retired Mafia dons. Let’s examine some mechanisms and a couple weak links to the phony price structure that provides intricate linkage among the USDollar, gold, crude oil, and USTreasury Bonds."
