It has been obvious to most of us for many years that markets are manipulated. Not just gold and silver, but all commodities and stocks are subject to the whims of political and big money interests. The key to this manipulation is the focus on the US markets for pricing and the US $ as the reserve currency of the world.

Gold has been both the stabilizing factor and the enemy of those who would remove all free market influence on price and supply. Propaganda and total control of the sham regulatory agencies have been major tools supporting this manipulation. But there numerous factors now challenging the decades long monopoly on these price and supply controls.

Russia has announced that they are setting up the infrastructure and support factors to make the ruble a reserve currency. The yen has been playing a minor role in that capacity for years, but is subject to manipulation from the new york/dc money masters. The Euro has been proffered as a $ alternative, but the EU is in serious trouble and with it the Euro. The Yuan has the size and stability to make it a contender, but to date the Chinese government has seen fit to not move in that direction.

Oil is the non currency product that dominates all global trade. Manufacturing capacity is for the first time since the end of WW II shifting our of the US. China is now considered the largest manufacturer in the world and growing.

Gold is THE stealth currency and is growing far faster in that regard than the new york/dc masters want. Gold, the Yuan, oil in non-US controlled nations, the ruble, and manufacturing capacity are all key factors that are combining to fill the need for a new more value oriented trade base. Add to that the recognition that it was the new york/dc mafia that constructed the GFC and all the damage that has and will result from it.

As all these macro market factors fight to dethrone the $ and US centric money and market dominance, it is silver and gold that is the only refuge available to the common person that will give them the ability to survive the coming spasm of financial change. They are the only vehicles that will allow the preservation of wealth as the world changes to what ever the new configuration results from the inevitable collapse of the US/Europe dominated markets. It is happening in real time. It is inevitable. It is not exposed in the mass media propaganda outlets, but it is a fact. Be prepared.
