We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force. - Ayn Rand

I see that gold and silver are down more in early London trading as I file this rant with my editors in the wee hours of Friday morning. The bullion banks will do whatever they want, whenever they want...as there is no one to stop them. Not the SEC...nor the CFTC...and certainly not your gold and silver companies. We just have to sit here and take whatever is dished out...the letter of the law be damned.

Cheers
