Gold today is no longer related to the normal economic cycle of supply and demand, jewelry, Indian wedding seasons, rain in the Middle East. All those things are passé, forget about them. Gold is driven today by one overriding and I am afraid, at least in my opinion, an irresistible and irreversible trend. A fundamental, global and growing insecurity… A fundamental, global and growing lack of confidence of the world in everything they were brought up to believe. Institutions,insurance companies, banks, issuers of mortgages, ratings agencies, equities, sovereign debt, Federal Reserve Banks. Portugal and Iceland. Greece and Spain.Currencies. What is left?

PeterThe Big LieI feel completely blessed to be alive right now. To be a witness and participant in a moment in human history that will be written about and passed down in tales for as long as humanity remains on this planet. We are currently observing the evaporation of what Nazis referred to as “The Big Lie.” In very basic terms theconcept of The Big Lie is that if you are going to lie you may as well lie big.So big in fact that the majority of well meaning citizenry could never imagineanyone lying on such a grand scale (particularly not their government “officials”) so that they don’t even question the basis of their own reality. In the case of the United States the Big Lie is that we have a free market capitalist economy. Instead we have a corporatist/fascist economy that enriches three main groups. Wall street financiers, the military industrial complex and large multi-nationalcorporations that don’t pay taxes. So that begs the question, how can the American people be so brainwashed into thinking they live in this false reality? It’s very easy. It’s all about the money.Up until recently (and by that I mean the last three years) how many people asked what is a dollar? How is it created and who controls the creation? Essentially no one did. The financial crisis changed everything because as the false reality finally cratered under its own weight the super elite that robs and rapes the rest of us saw their world crumbling and they panicked. In order to save themselves, their reputations and most importantly their wealth they responded in such an absurd and selfish manner it shook millions of Americans from their slumber. People started asking basic questions they never even thought to ask before. One of those people was me. When I discovered how completely fooled I had been my whole life and figured out how the scam works I started writing about it.I relied on those great men that have been writing about it for decades in relative obscurity to educate me on monetary and financial history. I then shared what I learned with anyone that would listen. I am pleased to report that it hasbeen a tremendous success and enough people are now awake for the system to beoverthrown. That is what is in the process of happening now. Yet as I have said many times before, the super elite has all the tools of control still and willnot go down easy. Think about what despotic leaders have done to people in times past. The torture, the exterminations, anything to have power. I believe many at the helm within the financial system and military-industrial complex in the U.S. are just as evil as those from the past. That said, in the age of the internet their methods of control have changed and the war going on between truthand lies playing out right now has two main battlefields. There is the information war being waged by the alternative media vs. the dinosaur propaganda media.The second battlefield is the financial markets where honest money (gold and silver) is battling fraud fiat money controlled by the banksters who give The Bernank his marching orders. These orders are not designed to help the economy (which is why the economy remains horrible) they are designed to preserve the statusquo and protect their ill gotten gains. The establishment is getting wiped out
