The day the daily rigging of the gold and silver markets finally comes to an end in the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Europe, will be a joyful day for Canadians and honest, tax-paying, freedom cherishing investors throughout the world.

There are those who believe, I among them, the arrival of the rigging and fraud-free day, is, mercifully, not far off, and gold and silver will be allowed to rise, just like wheat, rice, oats, corn and hog bellies, to their free marketplace values. For gold and silver that would now be approximately $6,500 and $400 respectively.

To commemorate this freedom from slavery day, and with apologies to the fans of Rudyard Kipling, I have taken a few liberties and changed the wording of his famous poem for British school children: "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", from a recent GATA article.

The Day the Insanity Stopped

When the gods of corrupt Governments tumbled
And their criminal Bankers withdrew
The hearts of the meanest were humbled
And they began to believe it was true.

It’s just gold and silver that matters
And two and two really make four
As the gods of the paper-dollar wizards
Tried vainly to distort it once more.

But the marketplace soon told the story
As it was in the beginning for man
There are four things in life that are certain
Since our slow social progress began:

Gold and silver are the only real money

And more of the same the reserve

Some days will be cloudy; some sunny,

Some pathways will twist, bend and curve.

When the criminals are finally imprisoned
And our honest new world then begins
All men will be paid for their labours
And each man will pay for his sins.

For as surely as water will wet us
And as surely as fire will burn
The rigging of gold / silver markets
Will never, not ever, return.
