Empire of Fraud (Gold is Money)
Source :Vincent Bressler
Money is:
1) A unit of transaction.
2) A store of value.
These are two very different things which must be connected in a stable financial system. The credit system is the means by which the unit of transaction and the store of value are connected. With the current dollar system, there is no independent store of value because:
The Federal Reserve can print dollars at will. This condition creates other conditions:
i) Banks can create loans at will without being concerned about a bank run.
ii) Investment banks can create structured financial products at will without being concerned about fraud.
a) Corporations use financial fraud to manipulate the bottom line and increase executive compensation.
b) Corporations suppress news that would give people a proper perspective on the state of the economy.
iii) The federal government can spend a vast sums without raising taxes, which leads to:
a) False statistics to keep the population from seeing the true condition of the economy.
b) Manipulation of markets to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar.
We have an unstable system, where our freely printed money flows to those in charge of the printing press via the the federal government and banking systems. More money is printed, and the process repeats.
All of this leaves us asking the question:
What is a dollar?
And the simple answer is:
Nothing except what it can buy.
That is the heart of the problem with our economy, government and corporate environment. The following graphic represents our current monetary and financial system:
There is nothing wrong with our current financial transaction processing system. A gold based system can be attached to it without a great deal of difficulty.
The problem with our system is that privileged entities can create dollars at no cost and with enormous profit. Therefore, it is in the interest of these privileged entities to confuse and manipulate the store of value system and the credit system to obscure and enable their illegal activities.

Since gold's peak back in the fall of 2011, investors have been trying to let us know what the yellow metal is going to do next.
Some forecast a plummet in price immediately, others played it safe.
But since that time one investor has had the same mentality throughout, Marc Faber.
The publisher of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report says that investors should be selling stocks and gradually stocking up on gold.

There are nine prevalent myths and false arguments that bankers and their puppet commercial investment firms have used to keep people from buying physical gold and physical silver over the years (remember the paper GLD and the paper SLV is NOT a proxy for physical gold and physical silver and from the information in the prospectuses, very likely nowhere near 100% backed by physical gold and physical silver as they claim).

Jan Skoyles asks why Germany and Switzerland are requesting their gold from the United States considering their monetary policies. The repatriation of gold is a growing topic of interest since Venezuela demonstrated how much value they place on their gold reserves. With escalating gold prices, growing gold investment demand and faltering Western economies is it any wonder German and Swiss politicians are asking where their gold is.

We've heard it all from the Dr. Doom, economist Marc Faber. He likes to buy physical gold... And what's not to like about the yellow metal? We've seen highs in prices consistently throughout the past ten years, including last year's $1,900/oz. spike. But, as Faber warns, there is a catch: the U.S. government can and may seize privately held gold.

Have you ever had any doubts about gold? Does it sometimes feel like it should be performing better? Are you concerned about its volatility? Do you worry about how it might perform in the future? Have you ever wondered about its true purchasing power? Maybe you're nervous about a big drop in price again? I decided to go directly to the source to address these concerns: Gold himself. He put his arm around me and asked me to tell you a few things…

So those militant crazies known to the mainstream media as "gold bugs" – and to the FBI as subversives – got the headline they've been longing for, apparently, last week.
"China central bank in gold-buying push," declared the Financial Times. "It does appear the People's Bank of China has been a significant buyer," agreed a Reuters columnist.

This year our screens, radio and the media in general will be dominated by politics as electioneering goes into overdrive in a massive attempt to convince us that their man has all the answers. Alas, the political machinery has long since lost our respect, but that will not deter them and so we must endure this attack on our senses from all directions.

After prices fell 10 percent in December, many investors wondered if the bull market in gold was running out of steam. That was before Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke swooped in with a “red cape” and fired the bulls back up. Since the Fed reassured the world that interest rates will remain at “exceptionally low levels” for another two years, gold has jumped more than three percent.

On Tuesday, China reported GDP growth of 8.9 percent in the last quarter of 2011, which is the slowest growth increase in more than two years. Although analysts were only expecting growth of 8.7 percent, the slowdown gave investors hope that the world’s second largest economy will inject more stimulus into its economy to fuel growth. As a result, gold jumped $24 to climb above $1,650 per ounce, while silver surged 60 cents to settle above $30 per ounce. However, investors should reign in expectations of more stimulus being unleashed in China during the early part of 2012.
