Frightened Wall Street TraderIf you keep a diary or news journal, be sure to write down March 9, 2023 as the day that a full-blown bank run began at non-traditional banks in the U.S.
“Keeping international reserves in dollars means recycling dollar inflows to buy U.S. Treasury bills — U.S. government debt issued largely to finance the military spending that has been a driving force in the U.S. balance-of-payments deficit "

GO GATA!
Last Thursday and Friday were something else.
A number of US financial reports were prepared in advance, ready to be served up to the public. The cartel forces, bullion banks, could receive inside information from our government statisticians well ahead of time, re before their being fed to the US public and media … say by Wednesday night or so.
Whether legit or not, this information could have a major effect on our markets. This time gold was running away to the upside, as it appeared The Gold Cartel was finally losing control of their rigging operations and the gold price. What to be done? Well, we just saw what.
Thursday morning, with the dollar moving higher, gold was really bombed. Pitiful silver, after struggling with $24+ for more than two months, was finally breaking out, only to be slaughtered with a downside price reversal. This was only a precursor to Friday and the highly unexpected and unusual US jobs report. From Thursday morning through Friday morning gold was leveled to the tune of $100, while pitiful silver just disappeared.
Mission accomplished. The cabal forces found some room to breathe and just smiled.
Back on earth here we have to deal with what is going on, nearly every working day the gold/silver arena is open. ONCE AGAIN, BOMBS AWAY it is. After trading up to $1881 in Asia, gold has been sent back down to $1866. That trade goes on like clockwork. Meanwhile the pitiful one remains that way, going red and printing $22.22. Lowly $24 now seems miles away. JP Morgan has done it again.
