Fed to launch QE3 of $40 billion MBS each month!! Power Up The Printing Press!
By an 11-to-1 vote, the Federal Reserve on Thursday decided to launch a new program of open-ended bond purchases -- so-called QE3 -- saying it will buy $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities each month, starting Friday. It's also keeping in place so-called Operation Twist, which consists of swapping short-dated securities for longer-term securities, as well as reinvesting the proceeds of maturing securities, so the central bank will be adding $85 billion of long-term securities each month through the end of the year. The Fed also extended its pledge to keep interest rates exceptionally low -- Fed funds rates are currently targeted at a rate between 0% and 0.25% -- from late 2014 to "at least through mid-2015."

“When I reflect back over the decade, I think I can come almost come up with 2,500 tons of net change in physical demand, in a 4,000 ton market on the supply side, which hasn’t changed in that 12 years, that was in balance 12 years ago.

The CFTC Silver Investigation
By Theodore Butler:
There has been an explosion of interest and commentary these past few days as a
result of a front page story in Monday’s edition of the influential Financial Times
(of London). The story stated that the CFTC was set to drop its four year
investigation into alleged silver price manipulation due to insufficient evidence to
bring charges, according to three unnamed sources. I went to sleep Sunday evening
when the story first appeared prepared to wake up to similar and confirming
stories in other publications. Instead, there were no other stories confirming the
case was set to be dropped; only strong statements that the FT was story was
“premature” and “inaccurate in many respects” by a named source, Commissioner

The Matrix Of Power By Hugo Salinas Price (Multi-Billionaire From Mexico)
It is suspicious that all knowledge relating to real money and Austrian economics is carefully excluded, all over the world, from consideration in Academia, from the deliberations of Legislative bodies, from the pages of journals, from the TV screen and from the productions of the film industry. It appears that humanity is being subjected to a planned operation to erase from all human consciousness the memory of real money and of the economic principles that lead to prosperity. Of course the Élite know full well that “gold is money, all else is credit”: J. P. Morgan himself said so.

Ron Paul's ‘Audit the Fed' bill passes the House

At long last, Ron Paul has his day.
The House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved the Texas Republican's bill to increase the transparency of the Federal Reserve. With bipartisan support, the measure passed 327-98.
For Paul, the path to getting his bill approved in the House has been a long, and often lonely one. He first introduced the bill to a skeptical House a decade ago. While his efforts were ignored at the time, the call to audit the Fed" has gained support from mainstream Republicans and Democrats.

Eris Sprott Interview On King World News July 1st, 2012
People should, rightly, have fear of having their money in paper instruments, whether it’s in a bank account or a bond. If they had any sense they would be buying (physical) gold and/or silver. That’s the only way to maintain your purchasing power.

China Overtakes India as Top Gold Consumer In The World
China overtook India as the world's top consumer of gold in the first quarter, the World Gold Council said, cementing expectations that China will be the dominant buying force in the gold market in 2012.
Indian gold demand dropped 19% in the first three months from a year earlier, to 207.6 metric tons, rattled by strikes following the announcement of new taxes on the gold trade and weakness in the Indian rupee that made dollar-denominated gold more expensive for Indian buyers.
In contrast Chinese gold demand rose 7% in the same period, to 255.2 tons, according to the WGC.
China Purchases A Record 100 Tons Of Gold In April 2012 From Hong Kong
