London’s Laundry Business

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-09/why-london-too-will-balk-sanctions-against-russia-and-putin-knows-it

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/08/opinion/londons-laundry-business.html?_r=2

Britain’s ruling class has decayed to the point where its first priority is protecting its cut of Russian money — even as Russian armored personnel carriers rumble around the streets of Sevastopol. But the establishment understands that, in the 21st century, what matters are banks, not tanks.

The Russians also understand this. They know that London is a center of Russian corruption, that their loot plunges into Britain’s empire of tax havens — from Gibraltar to Jersey, from the Cayman Islands to the British Virgin Islands — on which the sun never sets.

Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, gets it: you pay them, you own them. Mr. Putin was absolutely certain that Britain’s managers — shuttling through the revolving door between cabinet posts and financial boards — would never give up their fees and commissions from the oligarchs’ billions. He was right.

This is Britain’s growth business today: laundering oligarchs’ dirty billions, laundering their dirty reputations.

But London has changed. And the Shard — the Qatari-owned, 72-floor skyscraper above the grotty Southwark riverside — is a symbol of that change.

The Shard encapsulates the new hierarchy of the city. On the top floors, “ultra high net worth individuals” entertain escorts in luxury apartments. By day, on floors below, investment bankers trade incomprehensible derivatives.

Come nightfall, the elevators are full of African cleaners, paid next to nothing and treated as nonexistent. The acres of glass windows are scrubbed by Polish laborers, who sleep four to a room in bedsit slums. And near the Shard are the immigrants from Lithuania and Romania, who broke their backs on construction sites, but are now destitute and whiling away their hours along the banks of the Thames.

The Shard is London, a symbol of a city where oligarchs are celebrated and migrants are exploited but that pretends to be a multicultural utopia. Here, in their capital city, the English are no longer calling the shots. They are hirelings.

Fraud Confirmed: 100-Day Delay To Take Bullion Delivery In London

This would be a good article, except the author confuses the London Metal Exchange (which deals in industrial metals) <click here> with the London Bullion Market Association (which guarantees good delivery of gold and silver) <click here>.

He correctly calls the 100-day delivery delay at the LME as a default, but that doesn't have anything to do with the dwindling inventory of gold and silver in London and New York, although also true.

Fort Knox on Thames. Barclays’ big new London gold vault

Demand for vaulting of gold worldwide is soaring.  My personal opinion is that vaulting in London and New York poses counterparty and confiscatory risk.

Iran's nuclear program isn't the only reason Washington is eying Iran.  It may not even be the biggest threat.  The threat to dollar hegemony may be Washington's biggest fear.

London to become major offshore trading center for Chinese Yuan.

The significance of this otherwise ordinary press release is far-reaching--especially as it relates to the USDollar as a global reserve currency.  This sets the stage for a dump of the USDollar and US Treasury bonds at any point in time.

"The fact that China will open its third yuan offshore market in London is a strategic decision for the world's second-largest economy to increase the convertibility of the yuan and evolve the yuan into a reserve currency globally," said David Wang, executive director of the Royal Bank of Scotland (China) Co Ltd.

Gold market is not fixed, it's rigged

http://news.goldseek.com/GATA/1281888000.php

The change in price between the AM Fix and the PM Fix are cumulatively making a trend which is increasingly losing money in a very strong bull market! Clearly the fixes are not being set to “clear the market” but are being manipulated to suppress the gold price.

What this shows is that the more gold rises over night in essentially Asian markets the more it is sold down into the PM fix. This was exactly the modus operandum of the London Gold Pool but now it is being done covertly.
