Gold – Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The mainstream media seems to have an agenda to scare people away from acquiring gold. Don’t even think about it! If you listen to what is said on mainstream TeeVee and what is spread across newswires like the Associated Press (AP), which goes to online/hard copy news organizations around the world, you hear and read the same things over and over. Gold is bad, gold coins are being counterfeited, gold doesn’t pay interest, gold is… fill in the blank. These are scare tactics designed to keep people out of the gold market and, more specifically, to keep their wealth within the reach of the banksters and the government. Gold places a barrier between our wealth and the banking and ruling class. Our wealth becomes a little more difficult to reach when it is stored in gold and silver.

This is a recent article spread across the AP. The version we dissect below is from the LATimes

If you thought the “Brexit” vote was scary, check out the full-page newspaper ad that recently appeared in the New York Times recounting all the horrors in the present tense, as if they were still unfolding: The vote “topples” the British government, “crushes” the pound and “wipes away” billions in stock market wealth.

Then came the purpose behind all the panicky prose.

“Buy Gold Now!”

Let’s recount some of the claims from the ad the article references.

“The vote topples British government”. Well, if memory serves, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, resigned within 24 hours of the vote passing. That speaks in volume as to the stability of the British government or did I miss something?

“crushes the Pound”. Once again relying on memory the British Pound Stirling fell like a stone on Friday June 24 in response to BREXIT passing. Once again, a false narrative being pushed by the Associated Press. Who is scaring who?

“wipes away billions in stock market wealth” – If the stock market reacts to the BREXIT vote in a negative manner and values fall across the board does that not qualify as “billions in stock market wealth”? If it doesn’t it should. All misleading statements intended to scare people out of gold and keep people from considering protecting their wealth with gold.

Finally the punch line – “Buy Gold Now”. As the AP refers to it “panicky prose“. Well, gold and silver have protected wealth from exactly these types of events for thousands of years. Gold and silver server two basic purposes – insurance against currency crisis – BREXIT certainly qualifies and gold is a measure of an economies health. Once again, BREXIT exposed the unhealthy nature of the British economy and smart people, who were following the lead of highly intelligent people, began acquiring gold and silver. A lot of the people transferred their digital digits within the system from one account to the fraudulent GLD and/or SLV believing they were actually placing gold and silver in their portfolio. Sadly, they are being scammed once again.

Next we find the following:

The ad was from a company selling gold coins that is run by Philip Diehl, a coin expert in Austin, Texas. “Phones have been ringing off the hook,” said Diehl of the reaction to Brexit. Gold is “a way of protecting wealth. It’s like auto insurance or house insurance.”

This is 100% correct as I stated above. Insurance against a currency crisis and wealth protection. So, the AP published a factual statement that was from someone else.

But before joining the rush, experts warn, beware that assets marketed as conservative and safe bought in a panic can sometimes wallop investors.

A quarter of a century ago, money poured into “world income funds” that bet on seemingly conservative short-term government debt. And after the 2008 financial crisis, index annuities were pitched as a way of betting on stock indexes with no risk of loss, a big draw after the U.S. market had lost half its value in a little over a year.

All these seemingly safe products slammed investors with high fees or kept them from accessing their money or socked them with outright losses.

Now we see the real scare tactics used by this mouthpiece for the elite/globalist. What the AP is describing sounds like derivatives. Yet another fraud, cooked up by the banking cabal with the sole purpose of stealing wealth and transferring wealth away from the retail investor and onto the books of the banking cabal. These three paragraphs are 100% correct. This did happen and a lot people had untold billions transferred out of their accounts and into the globalist accounts during the time of panic selling. These criminals count on emotional reactions from investors in order to maximize the fleecing. The more we panic, the more they profit.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of the words used:

slammed investors with high fees or kept them from accessing their money or socked them with outright losses

Allow those word to sink in for just a moment and remember where you were told about these “fees”. Was it at the coin dealers shop where you were acquiring gold or was it the financial institution that generated, not only massive profits from panic buying/selling, but then collected fees for the emotional panic selling they created. These financial instruments serve one purpose – fleecing wealth from retail investors (that’s you and me).

What about the part that states – kept them from accessing their money? What about those words? Those words should terrify even the most brain dead investor. There is a saying around these parts and it goes like this “If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.” Nothing could hold more truth during a situation like BREXIT. If your wealth is nothing more than digits on a screen you may want to reconsider that position. If the bank shuts down, for any reason, and you can not access your wealth do you really have any wealth? If you have no cash on hand and operate your life with plastic and the bank shuts down for any reason, then what? How do you put gas in the car, food on the table or bribe a cop to let you pass through the check point without being searched or turned away?

The real scare tactics are coming from the AP not the bullion dealer. The bullion dealer is simply pointing out what we should already know but don’t. The AP is twisting the picture to fit a narrative that makes people believe in lies and deceit. When was the last time the bank made a mistake in your favor and the error was upheld? When was the last time the bank made an error in their favor and it was upheld after you presented ALL the appropriate documentation? We lose either way.

Now we get to the part where the paper scheme comes into full view:

Diehl thinks it will continue to rise because of all the turmoil in the world. Investors seem to agree. In the five trading days after the Brexit vote, $2.7 billion rushed into gold funds, according to EPFR, a research firm. That is more than 10 times the typical weekly investment in the last bull market for gold in 2011.

For all the popularity of the funds, gold bulls who are worried about a sort of financial Armageddon argue you’re only really safe owning the metal itself, something like what Diehl sells, a coin you can hold in your hand and use to trade and survive.

Regulators have long warned of shady sales practices in the business of selling physical metal, though.

Dave Kranzler and I just finished an extensive breakdown of the GLD and SLV ETF funds – you can listen HERE. These frauds have zero accounting and zero oversight. Most people do not know or understand this. JPMorgan Bank was just assigned as a “sub custodian” to HSBC who is the primary custodian of GLD. It just so happens that JPMorgan is the primary custodian for the SLV ETF fund. Needless to say both of these crime syndicates have been “fined” on numerous occasions for market rigging, drug money laundering and HSBC has been fined a second time for funding terrorist organizations. How much do you trust a company that funds terrorist or launders drug money? You know, the drugs that have wreaked havoc on your family or yourself. HSBC has been fined for aiding and abiding these drug dealers to deliver drugs to your neighborhood. So, remind me again who is conducting “shady sales practices“? My guess is that Mr. Diehl has no criminal record and my guess is also that he does not have a background in fraud, drug money laundering and funding terrorist organizations on his resume’ either.

Believe what you wish and hold on to what makes you sleep best at night. But when the STHF and your wealth is completely wiped out and you are left destitute on the side of the road, don’t say you weren’t warned. These criminals are getting desperate and just like the “panic buying and panic selling” described above, desperate people do desperate things. Don’t allow your wealth to be in the way.

      A great, well-written article!
      I’m thinking that if the Brexit vote was enough to do all that, then the GBP, the stock market, and the UK’s political system is really on unsound footing. I can’t see why a Brexit could do anything but benefit Britain. There was a sound UK before the EU and there will be a sound UK after the EU disintegrates. The UK used to be an empire, and then willingly became a member of a different empire? Good thing they kept the Pound though.
      Yeah, all the ETFs are a scam. I did my own resdearch on them way back and came to the same conclusions as you did. Bad enough that when they audited the Comex and the CMX back in 2009 they found huge shortfalls in physical vs. paper. Right around when Comex issued a statement that all the spot and futures prices are “for entertainment purposes only” and around the time when they stopped fulfillment in physical on all the commodities futures markets. Gold went into backwardation for the first time ever. Nowadays you just get a warehouse receipt and good luck with all THAT. Also, right around that time you had the debacle of various central banks, like Ethiopia’s finding out that their Gold was in fact just plated tungsten, and that said “Gold” was NOT from China but came from NYC.
      You don’t even need any banking crisis for all the electronic assets to become worthless. All it takes is a good old-fashioned power failure. Not saying you shouldn’t keep anything in the bank, but if you can’t use a gun to protect it, you don’t really have it. Another thing is outright fraud, like that whole MF Global / Corzine affair where they stole 6 bill in customer funds to pay off their gambling debts and a superior court actually upheld that! Then that scumbag Corzine actually has the NERVE to WHINE about how he can’t get a job in finance anymore. Well, duhh, I woudn’t even hire him as a street sweeper.
      The anti-Gold crowd does have one thing right and that’s the fake Gold coins coming out of China. That’s why I only have symbolic amounts of Gold but lots of Silver. It’s not as profitable for anyone to counterfeit low-value Silver coins, junk Silver, and small bars or bullion rounds, so if you stick to buying small items albeit in large quantities you should be fine. Also, Ag has much better upside potential than Au. Just remember May 1979.
      Stocks and other equities are also a scam, UNLESS you know the company personally. No matter how well you know accounting you’ll never see the real picture. Fundamentals don’t mean anything anymore, the technicals don’t either, and the people who believe in technical analysis are in my opinion whackos. As a former stock market director I can tell you that the markets are driven by pure emotion, and “news.” Everybody thinks they’re rational but everybody jumps on the same stupid bandwagons because they’re motivated by greed and fear. That’s why about 95% of all retail investors lose money, and the super-greedy ones who use leverage, well, that figure is about 99.9%. Furthermore, the whole milieu has come to resemble Nintendo more than anything else. Like, we have a Climate Exchange? “Analysts” using Tarot cards and astrology? Give me a break.
      Fact is, that no matter what YOUR buying or selling price is on Gold or Silver, you technically can’t lose money on it because an ounce of Gold will ALWAYS be worth an ounce of Gold because Gold IS money. The real money, and not some substitute piece of paper.

      In 2011 the Gold bugs were beating the drums, collapse , depression , anarchy. buy gold buy silver, many people that followed that advice took a 60% haircut and still haven’t recovered and have lost 5 years of stock market gains. the best advice is don’t buck the big boys follow them. you might only get the crumbs off the table but something is better the nothing. Gold and silver call me when it reaches it’s past high, then I’ll be a true believer.

        Why not wait until the stock market crashes and you lose 80% of your money? Then try to buy gold when everyone else is trying to buy it. That sounds like a winning strategy to me.

        The stock market is too risky. I have 90% of my savings in precious metals with 90% of it being in silver.

        • b4

          i am with you –have 8000 ounces silver eagles -average price paid around 9 bucks–my mining stocks have gone up since Dec last year from 20000 to over 100 gs–i ll take it!

          Since 2011 you gold and silver bugs have been singing the same song. Sitting in you bunker counting your little coins over and over. Those that followed the trend have bought new cars , vacation homes and paid off their debt with the markets gains. If you bought silver in 2011 you still are under water by 50 %. If you are waiting for a “zombie apocalypse’ to cash in your precious metal for beans and toilet paper you will have no takers. You have been had and still don’t get it. All markets are manipulated and have been since the creation of the Federal Reserve. If you buck the manipulators you will loose. if you had been in the market you would be way ahead instead of trying to break even. Try buying a car with your silver coins or a house. You will still have to transfer to fiat money to make a transaction . So whats the point are you going to wait around another five years to break even as you sit on your hoard that pays no interest or dividends. I don’t see any strategy in that hoping for a “zombie apocalypse’ so precious metals can move back to where they were five years ago.

      we had a gold recall to help our country out of debt in the past, but silver was not recalled so bewere of buying gold. now if you dont understand what makes the metals appeer to be worth more ill give you an exsample 375.25 grains of silver is one american dollar, dollar is a spanish word for a spacific weight of silver, so if one once of silver is worth say twenty dollars that meens the dollar devaluated as over printing fiat money can do. the ounce of silver never changes just the currentcy used around it. silver is the money given to this country for trade in the coinage act, gold was not used but allowed because of the peices of eight that was here then, thats were bits came in the coin was broken into eight peices that was called bits. the federal reserve manipulates the value of silver through the amount of fiat money printed on it

    • Substantial Evidence

      Yeah, when the apocalypse happens, all that gold is going to be SO useful!

      You can eat it, use it to stay warm, build a shelter out of it, use it as toilet paper!

      You will be SET when the end times come!

      Oh wait.

      No you wont.

      You’ll just have a bunch of heavy metal to carry around while you try to stop your family from being raped.

      Gold is a scam, started by the Aliens that created the human race. If you fall for it, you’re a sucker.

        Gold has been real money for 5000 years. When a loaf of bread costs $100 you’ll still be able to buy it if you have gold and silver.

        • b4

          only a complete idiot with 12.53 cents in his checking account and with his 150 dollar weekly paycheck working at wal mart would say such a thing-Sub evidence is a moron

          • Substantial Evidence

            Enjoy eating your gold when the bread lines turn into riots idiot.

            When you show up to the front of the $100 loaf of bread line with your sack of gold, kiss it goodbye. They’ll follow you home, take it all, and burn your house to the ground.

            Whos going to give you food for your gold when the system fails?

          • Substantial Evidence

            Only a pretentious douche that thinks his money will save him even when it has no value would say such a thing.

            b4 is a moron.

      One very important point, here that people miss. There are a lot of scams selling gold and silver out there. If you decide to buy, and are offered at the right price. No matter how legitimate the person appears, The one thing you must do is Take possession of the metal no if’s no buts or excuses take it into your possession the metal at the time of sale no matter if you are told it is a safety deposit box or on the moon as when an emergency situation comes about and you need to sell a piece of paper saying you have something miles away which could have been sold a 100 times over will only be of use to light a fire or for toilet paper in your bunker! Never keep at the address you buy from better to go to the person as if you have bought a large amount then your details maybe passed to armed criminals to rob you then sold back to person you bought from….

      • Sun Rabbit

        Yes! Always take posession of it physically and none of that monkey business with warehouse receipts. Even a bank can RENT Gold from another bank, insure it with a different bank against its value going down, insure it with yet a different bank against it going up, use that rented Gold as collateral on a loan from yet another bank, and then finally SELL all that Gold and use it to invest in other banks doing the same. It’s a total scam.
        You either don’t keep it at your house or you hide it very well. You can wall it up or bury it. There’s books on how to hide things even in a tiny apartment. You NEVER give out your real address and you NEVER tell people you have the stuff.
