US paper gold suppression allowing Russia & China to buy real gold at discount prices

What used to be referred to as conspiracy theory is now pretty well-known in the precious metals investment community:  western bullion banks suppress the prices of gold and silver by shorting COMEX futures contracts, inducing panic selling among buyers who are long the contracts.  Gold bugs insist the bullion banks are acting as agents for central banks--mainly the Fed, in an attempt to artificially prop up the dollar even as the greenback is being systematically debased by a profligate printing press, in order to fund huge U.S. government budget deficits.

But I've also posited that western bullion banks have accomplices--Asian central banks, specifically China and Russia.  While their motives for suppressing gold prices are different, their desired short-term outcomes are identical:  capping prices of the precious metals.

Recall I mentioned their respective motives are different.  The Fed attempts to mask dollar weakness by suppressing gold prices.  Asian financial authorities also want lower gold prices--but for a different reason:  they are accumulating gold, so they naturally desire lower prices.

The net effect is the transfer of gold (i.e. wealth) from western central bank vaults (leveraged shorting, i.e. selling of paper gold assets) to Asian central bank vaults and retail buyers in Asia, in the form of physical bullion.

The long-term impact?  The bankrupting of western central banks.

Russia Views Hillary Clinton as An “Existential Threat” to Peace

Hillary Clinton is the war hawk presidential candidate, not Donald Trump.  This article is spot on about US foreign policy in the middle east.  It doesn't even go into Ukraine's regime change and subsequent civil war, instigated by the US and NATO, not Russia.

Erdogan Threatens To Abandon US Dollar In Trade With Russia

I predict US mainstream media and the CIA will now label Erdogan a terrorist who must be taken out.  Any sovereign government leader looking for alternatives to the USDollar for cross-border trade is considered an enemy of the US State.  See Hussein and Gaddafi, former US allies before their untimely demise.  Were they evil dictators?  Absolutely.  But they were originally put into power by the US and the CIA, until they started entertaining alternatives to the petrodollar as payment for crude oil.

Also see Russia and China.  Removing their government from power is another proposition.  However, the neocon warmongers are beating the drums of war.

Democrats Accuse Russia Of Hacking DNC Server To Help Donald Trump

The lies on top of lies covering up the fact that Hillary Clinton's emails being hacked isn't even being covered up anymore, as the corruption is so obvious now.   So obvious that campaign officials aren't even trying to cover it up.  They're redirecting it to Trump along false premises.  It would be comical, but it's tragic that so many millions are still so willfully blind.

This is by no means an endorsement for Trump, as his character flaws are fairly evident as well.  This country deserves Clinton because a cleansing reset will happen sooner than later under her watch. Let's just get it over with and clean house in Washington.  And it's got nothing to do with an election.  The 2016 election is just another mindless and futile exercise in sovereignty.  The real test is whether there will be a 2020 election.  Because the pitchforks will be out by then.

NATO Begins Encirclement of Russia

Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction, and Assad wasn't on the brink of killing his own people with chemical weapons.

Russia's Putin is not the aggressor either.  NATO agreed a long time ago they could not encircle Russia.  It's exactly what the US and NATO have done.
