Cyprus "bail-in" is the blue print for American asset confiscation when inflation eats out the banks. So says the fellow you call a kook.
And 1974 patterns in gold seem to be exactly what is happening now; manipulate the gold down through naked shorts, coil the spring and then jump on and let it roll on up and make gajillions... I think that is what the banksters are doing now.
You can only manipulate gold down for so long. Cannot do it forever.
