Why can the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stop the manipulation?
I honestly don’t know what I would do if I were the CFTC. I believe the existence of silver futures contracts themselves are price manipulative, and the only way to solve that problem, legally, would be to shut it down. However, that is no true solution, since, Biblically speaking, people have the right to enslave themselves with usury, and others have the right to enslave others with usury, even if we would rather avoid it. Essentially, prohibition does not work. But there is another view, which is that the futures markets in silver are particularly manipulated due to the excessive positions, and concentration of positions, among 4-8 traders. But I don’t think the CFTC wants to stop that kind of “excessive” manipulation. Keeping silver prices, and gold prices, low, tends to support the dollar, which is in the interests of the government, and the people who have a monopoly on the power to print money to loan to the government, at interest, the Federal Reserve.
