Won’t the CFTC stop the manipulation if there was one?
The CFTC is complicit. They are a willing participant in the silver manipulation. As a government agency, their job is to lend the “aura” of respectability to the game of government confiscation. Their job is actually the opposite of what we think it should be. Their job is to prevent longs from accumulating too much silver — that’s what they call manipulation. When there is too much paper money, the key problem is that any one of a thousand different billionaires, from Martha Stewart to the Olson Twins to Oprah Winfrey could buy up all the silver, and begin to destroy the value of the dollar by revealing the inflation of the currency that has already happened. That, they would call, “manipulation”. I would call that freedom. They, on the other hand, think freedom means the freedom to sell promises to deliver what does not exist.
