Central Bank Gold Price Rigging Is No Conspiracy! |
|
Chris Powell, Dr. Quinton Hennigh and Michael Oliver return as guests on this week’s program.
On August 15, 1971 President Nixon detached gold from the world’s monetary system and declared “We are all Keynesians now.” By so doing he set the stage for massive amounts of inflation not only in consumer prices but in stock and bond prices that served to siphon wealth from the middle class to the billionaire class to an extent even greater than the Robber Baron period of the 1920s. To con the world into using an intrinsically worthless dollar after 1971, the Nixon administration used the U.S. military to protect the power of the Saudi Arabian royal family in exchange for requiring oil sold globally by OPEC to be priced in U.S. dollars. But even with a dollar propped up by oil and the U.S. military, during times of market tumult investors instinctively opted to exchange their dollars for gold which posed a threat to dollar hegemony. Hence, the BIS and major central banks have arranged for member banks to suppress the price of gold using the futures markets and various other mechanisms during times of market chaos.
Chris of the Gold Anti-Trust committee will explain the latest revelations and he will discuss the overall market damage caused by the anti-free market activities of central banks. Of course, the natural laws of economics can be suppressed only so long and there is evidence we may be at or very close to the lows for gold. That would be good news for the amazingly high-grade Lion Ones Tuvatu gold mine that is soon to enter production in Fiji. Quinton will update us on that story and Michael will provide his latest analysis on gold and other key markets. |

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, NYC. He studied under David Johnson, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX.
In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.
In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. MSA has provided its proprietary technical research services to financial and asset management clients continually since 1992. Oliver is the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism. |
