Craig discusses his recent call on shortages beginning in particular mints. Some of the entities like the Comex are too big to fail, and like the LBMA, they will simply adjust the rules. Breaking the Comex is putting energy in the wrong place. Think of the system as a massive fractional reserve system where the price is determined by trading digital derivative contracts with no connection to supply-demand fundamentals. If you study that system, you can find weak links that will trigger delivery failures. The weak links today are the public and private mints that are also running fractional legal schemes. Everything is fine until it's not as we are all discovering.
Craig discusses how corruption extends to the press, media, and even parts of the legal system.
John explains how an international syndicate controls precious metals markets. A global network of organizations and vested interests are working in concert to keep prices suppressed. This network has tentacles that extend to Australia and the Perth Mint. He explains how accounts at the Perth Mint have been affected by shortages due to people waking up and demanding their metals. We see a revolution in the Australian silver markets. Once investors wake up and move from a synthetic position to a physical position, they will never go back.
Faith in The Perth mint is steadily declining despite their marketing attempts, and now they are delivering Chines bars instead of Perth products to their customers.
Craig describes the markets as being one big confidence game. Many people with synthetic accounts believe they have access to physical metal, but that ownership is increasingly questionable. The system works until it doesn't, and you don't want to be the guy searching for a chair when the music stops.
John doesn't believe we will return to normal and argues that we are witnessing a permanent change in the market. The Perth Mint has recently announced rationing, which has never happened in the Mint's history. Even employees of the Mint seem to be acknowledging that the silver market is rigged!
Craig points out that no system, metals nor the monetary system, will survive based on lies. Once confidence is lost, the system will have to revert to a new system, backed by something physical.
