The effort to keep gold from legitimate price-discovery is understandable – from the elitist banking cabal perspective, at least: if the price of gold were allowed to trade freely, it would likely find a market-setting price at least 3-5 multiples above where it is right now. If this occurred, it would completely undermine the Fed’s QE and ZIRP monetary policy. It would also cripple the Fed’s ability to keep the stock market juiced wreck the carefully crafted illusion that everything is fine in the U.S. economic and financial system.
