For decades, the infamy surrounding JP Morgan and the manipulation of the silver price has been broadcast and written about by alternative media, with a little CFTC and LBMA sprinkled in for good measure. Most of us have often watched or read these s ..read more

These days I can simply close my eyes at night and easily visualize a circus ringmaster complete with top hat and whip barking out something like this. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Cirque du Soleil production of Áne" (“Jackass” in French) "In the center ring we present for your enjoyment, the LBMA." "They will amaze you with their Enron accounting techniques, overseas contract swapping magic and report writing skill, which is rivaled only by the award winning “What I Did Last Summer” authored by esteemed 3rd grader Charles Hannah from Tupelo, Mississippi."

Currently, we are involved in the type of a deep dive into silver price manipulation that frankly, requires a Bathyscaphe. The analogy of a plodding vessel that reached the depths of the Mariana Trench, is very appropriate in our estimation, because, as we write about the silver misinformation providers, we believe we have ventured into the depths of the gutter. Let's begin with the largest precious metals information gatherer in the world, in terms of market recognition. GFMS, (website here) ; is a part of Refinitiv that was once owned by Thomson Reuters.
