Gold Wars: The Battle for the Global Economy

Gold Wars: Battle for the Global Economy addresses the grotesque,
growing and unsustainable imbalances in the financial system. As gold is
the barmometer of systemic ills, a war on gold--to drive down its price-is
taking place to hide the negative impacts of fiat currency, shadow
banking and central banking on the global financial system.

Starting with an introductory discussion on the nature of money and the
bizarre fractional reserve structure currently in place, Mitchell moves on
to address the massive, but little known systemic pivot point: the
Petrodollar standard. Tying dollars to oil, this mechanism undergirds the
dollar's reserve status. But soon it will fail with paradigm shifting
consequences.



Gold Wars features a detailed breakdown of the gross manipulations in
the gold market - from nonexistent paper gold, smackdowns, high-
frequency trading, and ETF's to Central Bank games like
swapping/leasing, shell accounting, midnight raids, clandestine gold
movements and regulatory attacks on investors. Mitchell offers a
prediction of the results for the gold market: when the manipulation fails,
paper and physical prices will separate, with the physical selling for
multiples of paper.

Similarly silver, with its own unique characteristics for industry and
investment, is also targeted as a potential refuge for flight from paper,
though strangely, above-ground gold is now more plentiful than silver.
Add to this a silver short position rolling from one institution to another as
each fails, a 4-year foot dragging investigation into market fraud, and a
class action suit for manipulation and the market has a recipe for a
pressure cooker at maximum.

Western banks, lacking the gold to cover their obligations, will eventually
declare a force majeure-an event supposedly the result of the elements
of nature, as opposed to one caused by human behavior-as a pretext
for settling their obligations in increasingly valueless paper.

Where is the resistance to this distortion and corruption of value? Power
is flowing East as China and Russia have drawn in massive amounts of
gold while denying the inflow. The BRICS will unveil a gold backed trade
note to supplant the dollar. Simultaneously, they will force the US debt
back home in exchange for real assets, choking the Fed/Treasury on the
mountain of paper, and grabbing the financial power. This momentous
shift is already underway.
