The jest of the article, "Precious Metals Manipulation:Lawyers Prepare for Battle" is very real but the Gold Bug thing about Monetary Metal(s) (or what ever they call them when referring Currency) when talking about Gold and Silver in connection with Currency is over the top. Never really was and will never again see Precious Metals act as Money in the sense that Governing Bodies issue a 'Medium for Exchange' within their respective jurisdictions, and Precious Metals would make (and once did make) a very inefficient and problematic means of exchange, for several very obvious and basic reasons as well as in terms of pure necessary pragmatism. The manipulation aspect of the article, however is very real, will planned and ruthlessly applied. What will the eventual outcome be? Human activity (economic and social interaction will persist) will continue with all the good and too much of the bad that is generally referred to as History, recorded and NOT.
