Following are excerpts from a piece on gold by J.S. Kim. However this piece is not so much about Gold as it is about
critical thinking and how we, both the left and the right, are manipulated. As the piece pertains to gold the contention is yes, we know the price of gold is manipulated. It has been manipulated, it is currently manipulated and it will continue to be so. That is nothing more than any number of pieces of information an individual must consider prior to making an investment.

Your Vote, is the most important investment you make. Yet most people, and here we will use bikers as an analogy, will put more study into how their motorcycle is running than into who they are going to vote for. Yet loudly bitch when the country ain't running right!
First more about J.S. Kim:
He has an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and two master degrees (a ...More Master in Public Policy and a Master in Business Administration) from the University of Texas at Austin., J.S. Kim started working within the Private Wealth Management division of one of the largest financial institutions in America. In 2005, dissatisfied with the ethics of the commercial investment industry, JS left the corporate world behind to launch his own company where he serves as President & Chief Investment Strategist.
He has many of his articles reprinted online by Reuters, the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times & the International Business Times (Ed. Note. We receive nothing from J.S. Kim for using his article as a foundation for this post. In fact, we doubt he has any idea as to who in the hell we are. We mention his credentials only to indicate he does have a brain).
Emphasis in Bold and comments in red are ours:
I read many stupid things that come across this desk, and usually I just trash the email, memo, article, etc. and move on with my day (
we wonder if he gets fwds, fwds, fwds, too) ... but today the content of this email bothered me so much that I was actually compelled to write about it. Why?
Because a breakdown of the content of this email will expose exactly why the criminal banking class has been able to deceive, control, and even steal money from the people without any tangible resistance for centuries now.
In Egypt, after years of corruption in the government, the people finally mobilized to overthrow their dictator President Mubarak, a person who plundered the wealth of Egypt’s citizenry to build an estimated personal net worth of $40 to $70 billion.
When I hear stories like this, I often wonder why the people remain so passive against huge injustices committed against them and why they don’t revolt against the equally morally-vacant leaders of Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs (GS), JP Morgan (JPM), Citigroup (C), and Bank of America (BAC) -- leaders who not only plunder and ravage the people’s wealth with equal relish, but then have the gall to claim they are doing “God’s work” as they steal, lie and cheat their way to the top.
