• Banks and WikiLeaks

MK: My friend Slax Meiser had an experience like this five years ago. A bank here in the UK (HQ’d) in Switzerland, shut Slax’s account down. In fact, the bank tried to extort cash from Slax – threatening to steal some money – based on some of the writings he was doing in a well read magazine – that the bank felt they could use as leverage to extort cash from Slax. In Assange’s case, BoA has not, as far as we know, tried to extort cash from Julian using their position as banking custodian to rob him. Not so with Slax.

• Rick Rule – Physical Supply Shortages in Silver to Continue

zerohedge.com: Promptly after those two cuddly bears explained how the JP Morgue is manipulating the silver market, and the xtranormal video went viral, forcing the FT to release an indemnification that “according to sources” JPM had covered a major portion of its silver short (only to subsequently end up with 90% control of other metals markets), here they are back, explaining in Part 2 of the series just what the next steps in the unwind of the biggest metal manipulation scheme will look like. The kicker: a JPM insider has told one of the bears that there is no commercial silver left, “it’s all smoke and mirrors, and the CFTC can do nothing about it other than pray.” Other topical items explained: silver backwardation, that there are two commissioners at the CFTC on the JP Morgue’s payroll, the BIS’ fractional gold system and the usage of side pockets for sovereign gold, and pretty much everything that ties the loose odds and ends in the PM manipulation story.
