Special Op Zero Dark Thirty 2.0: German Gold Gone Missing ... Sorry, Safely Stored At MF Global Deposit Box.

   

Rudolf E. Havenstein.

  Normally we could be hardly surprised by anything these days, but in this particular case with German Gold Gone Missing we are seriously worried about the human race. Could They be just So Arrogant or we as a whole species really scientifically proven to be classified just as a "Bunch of Morons"? Or maybe GMO has finally made it even into the Elite circles: They do not even bother to spin it out properly any more? Bloomberg editors were having fun yesterday:

German Gold Stays in New York in Rebuff to Euro Doubters

If push came to shove, the US would pull an ABN Ambro/Rabobank/MF Global in 2 seconds with any German gold they may still have outright.

Who Wants Their Gold Back?

Now we can safely conclude that German saga is over and Gold will be going much higher: Chinese Virus "Missing Collateral" has finally reached BOE and FED Empty Vaults.

Kirill Klip.:

FED Has Found ... Sorry, Created Inflation To Save Us All - Gold Celebrates ... Quietly So Far.

  "Gold and Silver are acting today like if the Chinese virus "Missing Collateral" has finally reached the London BOE vaults!

Bullish For Metals?! Missing Collateral in China, Follow The Trail of Loans, Copper and Fraud.

  In my personal opinion, we are witnessing the same game of the rehypothecation as it is happening with FED, BIS, Investment Banks and Gold. This, actually missing metal as collateral, will be the very bullish set up for the commodities markets. After initial selling due to the margin calls and unwinding of Paper Positions in the market, Mr Market will realise that all these metal accounted for the supply and demand picture is NOT there. Industrial demand will stay in place, but Supply which was supposed to be hoarded in the warehouses is missing: the collateral was used a few times for the different transactions. You can study this subject more with explanation in plane English in the very good podcast I have published yesterday: Read more."

  This Swiss Gold Initiative could become the truly turning point for the world's financial system, people are tired of the manipulation with their money confiscating the savings and wealth."

You can find more of our research on German Gold Gone missing and rebuttal from the Head of German Gold Repatriation Initiative:

There Is No German Gold Left At The New York FED GLD, MUX, TNR.v, GDX

  "Die Welt has reported today the bombshell announcement for the Gold market. We have discussed before that only 37 t of Gold out of 674 t was delivered to Germany in 2013 and that the Gold bars were Melted. So not a single original German gold bar was returned to Germany so far! 

  ZeroHedge reports today that surprisingly only 5 t of gold has been delivered from the NY FED - the rest came from Paris. Now it is not the conspiracy theory any more that there is no German Gold left at the NY FED.

  Now all the manipulations in the Gold market and constant smashing down the price in 2013 are coming into another perspective. Germany is very serious about the investigation of the manipulations in the Gold market - it was already reported thatprecious metals manipulation is worse than LIBOR scandal.  This investigation has already claimed the first victim: Deutsche Bank to withdraw from Gold fix amid probe.
  With the highest on record leverage at COMEX of 112 owners for every single ounce of Gold and record low COMEX registered Gold at 11 t we have the set up for the major blow out phase in the Gold market. Who in their mind will continue to hold Gold at LBMA any more? According to Eric Sprott, we can expect a failure to deliver Gold and lawsuits with deliveries last February from COMEX of 40 t and China buying at least 100 t of Gold every month on average now.
  Once Gold will breach $1270 level Andrew Maguire's discussion about the massive short squeeze will become the reality and even if his predictions about $200 Up-days will not materialise, the move by Gold to the upside from the most oversold condition in history will be nothing less than spectacular."

Eric Sprott - Expect A Failure To Deliver Gold & Lawsuits.

Andrew Maguire: New Buyer To Create Massive Short Squeeze In Gold.

Glenn Beck: Where Is German Gold? GLD, TNR.v, MUX, GDX

"Glenn Beck is digging up the mystery of German Gold repatriation. With the reports that even small amount of the delivered Gold so far was melted beforehand we can be sure that there is no more original German Gold left. As we have discussed before, the Gold smashing down has started with Venezuela's request for Gold to be returned back and last year Gold's bloodbath was assured with Germany seeking for its Gold to be returned as well."

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: If the Currency Collapses & You Try to Flee Into Gold, There Won't Be Any GLD, TNR.v, MUX, GDX

"Dr Paul Craigs Roberts talks about all markets being manipulated and presents the big picture of the Gold market and ongoing QE by the FED. Gold price action became the threat to the FED's policies and Gold was smashed down to preserve the status quo and save US Dollar. Markets can not be manipulated forever and now we have the situation when bullion goes to the East and to China particularly with the very dear geopolitical consequences. There is no recovery in U.S. economy and there is no Jobs creation - we would like to mention that this interview was recorded before yesterday disaster with Jobs numbers of only 74k being created and collapse in labour participation numbers."

Head Of German Gold Repatriation Initiative Responds To Bloomberg Story About Repatriation Halt

Just hours after we noted Bloomberg's story of Germany's decision to halt its repatriation of gold from the NY Fed, the gentleman at the center of the story, who Bloomberg quoted as saying his 'Repatriate Our Gold' campaign was "on hold" - Peter Boehringer - has come out swinging... The Bloomberg story is "a 'non-news' article with a wrong headline, strange interviewees, old news, and with a clearly apologetic ideological approach." and that's just the start...

From Peter Boehringer (via Bloomberg Businessweek),

Just to set the record straight re this article in which my name is mentioned and in which I am quoted out of context:

a) BusinessWeek/Bloomberg uncritically cites statements of politicians and BuBa-bankers who have or give no proof whatsoever re the untouched whereabouts of the german Gold.

b) Re our campaign "Repatriate our Gold": "On hold" does of course NOT mean that we are in any way satisfied with the current status of BuBa´s ongoing repatriation (far too slow and too little - only 5 tons came from NY in 2013! Not exactly a proof for the untouched existence of 1500 tons in a NY vault unaudited since 1950...). Our public campaign will therefore have to continue.

c) Almost no info in the article can be considered in any way "news". Simply because there has not been any material news in this context since early 2013.

d) Especially the headline is plainly false, because there has not been any change in BuBa´s (too slow) repatriation plans: at least 300+ tonnes will come from NY by end 2020. It is not much - but contrary to the headline, BuBa has NOT stopped the ongoing partial repatriation - enforced solely by public pressure!

e) The political party "Alternative for Germany" has never been part of our campaign - they can therefore not have been "rebuffed" as the article suggests.

f) The political party "FDP" has (with the exception of one (1) MP ) never demanded a repatriation - yet another false info in the article.

g) Some politicians cited in the article can not in any way claim to be "in charge" of the german gold hoard (abroad or not). This holds true for both Mr Barthle and for Mr Hardt: BuBa alone is in charge - and officially, BuBa is independent from political influence...

Summary: a "non-news" article with a wrong headline, strange interviewees, old news, and with a clearly apologetic ideological approach: the main purpose seems to be NOT to give space to the myriad of unanswered and extremely relevant questions BuBa and the Fed have been refusing to answer for decades.

I Vote To End Gold Manipulation: FSA Fines Barclays For Manipulation Of Gold Price - Join Me.

 "Why Gold is so important for everyone, not just for the super wealthy who can afford to put it aside for the rainy day? Gold is the most important indicator of the rate at which FIAT money are losing its value - its real purchasing power. If you can manipulate it - you can pretend that everything is fine and DOW and S&P 500 will beat All-Time-High every month as we have now. But just look below at your childhood McDonalds Menu - something is not so right, isn't it?

"In Jim’s first Big Picture topic Jim speaks exclusively with Luzi Stamm, member of the Swiss National Council, and one of the leaders of The Swiss Gold Initiative. The initiative will mandate no more sales of Swiss gold by the government, have all Swiss gold stored in Switzerland, and back the Swiss currency with 20% gold. Mr. Stamm notes that after hundreds of years, Switzerland has changed from a hard currency country to a soft currency country in just one generation."

TNR Gold: Shotgun Gold Project - Why Do We Need New Gold Deposits?

  

  This picture above is stronger than thousand words written by the FED's hired academics and even Austrian School of Economics - it cuts through the verbal mist to the bone of Inflation definition and what it really means. It means that your FIAT money are losing it purchasing power. It happens every day, day by the day. How much you can see from the McDonald's menu from 70s. 

  And below is the chart representing "Strong US Dollar Policy" in action implemented by FED from the day of its inception in 1913. Some people even think that Federal Reserve is as Federal as Federal Express, but we will not go that road today.

  Inflation is the dirty open secret of all Central Banks in the world. It creates the Inflation Tax by gradually stealing from the value of your savings and deflating the government's obligations on all social programs. It is the way for governments to finance wars and "Inflate away" their debts without taxing you "directly". Inflation follows currency debasement - organised by money printing or by QE in the iPad's century - and it is making its dirty work by itself. 

  Why Gold is so important here? It is the real measure of the rate of Currency Debasement and Inflation: Gold is the Real Money, not dollars. That is why it is manipulated so heavily:

  "Manipulation is rampant in all markets: HFT Flash Boys, LIBOR, FOREX, Pensions, Energy ... Gold. Some of the former conspiracy theories are going in the court rooms now, others are still waiting for their time." 

  I will address you to James Rickards' books: "Currency Wars" and "The Death of Money" to get more information in depth on these subjects and Gold Manipulation is widely discussed on the web today. Read more."

  This particular case is not more than a slap on the wrist for Barclays, but it is the beginning. Now Gold Manipulation will be more difficult. Will we ever have the real free market? We doubt it here, but it is the very good start and Naked Short Selling could be the very good follow up:

 "Manipulation is rampant in all markets: HFT Flash Boys, LIBOR, FOREX, Pensions, Energy ... Gold. Some of the former conspiracy theories are going in the court rooms now, others are still waiting for their time. But nothing could be compared with naked shorting and manipulations in the illiquid junior mining stocks. Dirty tactics are used all over the market like the banging the juniors into the close, suppressing the prices during the accumulation. You can get the idea from the reports made by Jim Puplava  on Financial Sense and the summary: Naked Short Selling: The Problem.
  Not a lot of people are talking about it - not a lot of us have the voice. And that is the real problem. Read more."

Barclays Fined For Manipulating Price Of Gold For A Decade; Sending "Bursts" Of Sell Orders

"It was almost inevitable: a week after we wrote "From Rothschild To Koch Industries: Meet The People Who "Fix" The Price Of Gold" and days after "Barclays' Head Of Gold Trading, And Gold "Fixer", Is Leaving The Bank", earlier today the UK Financial Conduct Authority finally formalized what most in the "tin-foil" hat community had known for years, when it announced that it fined Barclays £26 million for manipulating "the setting of the price of gold in order to avoid paying out on a client order." Furthermore, the FCA confirmed that those inexplicable gold raids which come as if out of nowhere, and slam gold with a vicious force so strong sometime they halt the entire market, had a very specific source:Barclays, whose trader "Daniel James Plunkett, sent out a burst of orders aimed at moving the price of the yellow metal."

Peter Schiff: Janet Yellen Much Ado about Nothing - Gold And Golden Cross MUX TNR.v GLD GDX ABX NG

Gold Has Completed The Golden Cross, Major Bullish Reversal Is Underway MUX TNR.v GLD GDX

  Gold has completed The Golden Cross and major Bullish Reversal is underway after this "FOMC week" correction. Now we should move much higher and Goldman Sachs with its call for Gold $1,050 by the end of the year is the very good contrarian indicator. 

  By the way, very interesting situation was happening today with McEwen Mining. Somebody from Goldman Sachs was all over the bids and MUX was traded with total volume of 20.7 million shares and Up 8%. (Update: Now with all after hours trades accounted the total volume between NYSE and Toronto stands at 30.8 million shares vs average volume of 3.5 million shares). That Somebody was caught Very Short after McEwen Mining run this year up to $3.74 and this "FOMC Week" That Somebody was "coincidentally happy" with MUX hitting low of $2.66 before very strong rebound and close at $2.88. Can we talk about manipulation again? One trade was particularly notable in the after hours: at 16.32 9.5 million shares were traded at $2.8804. Last month at the end of February  the total short position in MUX was reported at 25.5 million shares, so somebody used this week the opportunity to close at least part of it.
  The upgrade from Cowen and Company has added to the fire: McEwen Mining Price Target increases to $4.57. One more reason for the huge volume spike was mentioned as the rebalancing in GDXJ - Junior Miners ETF. We will see in a week time the change in the short position in McEwen Mining to find out the real picture.
  Now we have the Volume Buy Signal in McEwen Mining and this rebalancing has coincided very nicely with the "FOMC Week" Gold sell off and shaking the weak hands out of the company stock. We will see what will happen next week and will monitor the Gold Golden Cross media talk this weekend.

  Small change games around TNR Gold could be ended in tears for the "players" as well very soon. The penny stock was sold into 3 cents on no volume again today. Next move in McEwen Mining and very strong announcements from International Lithium this week will change the picture very fast, TNR Gold holds 25.5% In International Lithium, shares of McEwen Mining and back-in right into Los Azules Copper project with McEwen Mining.
