Is it possible "they" are trying to decouple silver from gold...drive gold down (Marc Faber thinks by 20% from its high) and keep riding it...whilst knowing that they cannot supply physical silver now that the paper leverage is almost done? Let silver reach it's natural historic average ratio of 15 to 1...which at gold $1200 is $80? Hammer on the ratio spin to justify keeping gold where it is? Get control of the silver market back temporarily when it reaches $80...start all over again...make huge coin on the way up whilst shorting gold?

I know...crazy.

What we are witnessing today is that the western democracies led by the US are:

social democracies (one vote per person)

ruled by financial dictatorships (sorry, no voting here).
