In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary act.  – George Orwell

A subscriber to my Mining Stock Journal sent me this correspondence a few days ago while the precious metals were being pushed lower by the bullion banks:

I read an article before the July 4th holiday from James Richards. He said that China would use the G20 meeting to push for the SDR. I kept this in the back of my head while the PMs were being smacked around in August. Zerohedge came out with this story today that more fiscal stimulus was coming:  LINK

There’s no question that Fed co-chairman Stanley Fisher floated his “rate hike coming” propaganda all week last week, starting with his useless speech at Jackson Hole, as a device to help the Comex banks smack gold with their fraudulent paper gold.

It’s now clear that gold was taken down ahead of the G20 meeting because the insiders knew that a call for more QE would emerge.  And that’s about the only thing that emerged other than the amusing abuse of Obama by China and Russia.

This was my response to the above subscriber inquiry – I thought it was worth sharing:

Rickards is controlled opposition. He appears to be friendly to anti-elitists like our crowd but he’s a front for the Deep State that is pushing hard for the SDR to replace the dollar because the dollar will still be largest component and it will enable the Deep State to maintain a high degree of control of the global economic system.

I believe China/Russia are using the SDR as an intermediate step toward getting rid of the dollar completely. That the SDR will play some type of role for awhile is already priced in to the market. That Chinese SDR bond issued is an example. Rickards is regurgitating information that is already obvious and absorbed into the markets. More interesting is to figure out what’s next.

You saw how China treated Obama at the G20 vs. Putin. The writing is on the wall on the for the dollar and the U.S.

If the big Central Banks resort to more QE to keep everything from collapsing, gold will soar. If they don’t resort to QE, everything will collapse and gold will soar in flight to safety.

The only strategy “they” have left is to create as much disinformation and confusion as possible. Rickards is part of that disinformation apparatus. Note the heavy onslaught of anti-gold propaganda the past few weeks, primarily Fed heads chirping like pre-programmed monkeys about rate hikes. Won’t happen.
