"If you think that bullion prices are not manipulated I have two examples for you. The U.S. Government controlled the price if silver from the 1880’s until 1964. The magic number was $1.22 an ounce. At that price the silver content of the coins exceeded the face value of the coins. The government, through the U.S. Treasury, was able to control the world market price for silver by selling silver when the silver price moved up. The Treasury also was a net buyer of silver to maintain a bottom support price. President Roosevelt signed an executive order that outlawed private ownership of gold. There was a moratorium where citizens could turn in their gold coins for cash. The official U.S. Government price of gold was 20 dollars and change. Once all the gold was in government hands the U.S. Government changed the official price of gold to $35.00 per oz. The government then used our gold to pay foreign governments at the new $35.00 price. The United States was the last country to come out of the depression because the policies of the U.S. prolonged the problems in the U.S."
And they are taking us down that road again
