Mostly, the Fund pointed to following protocol and saying that its available gold can only be sold to central banks or sovereign nations.
Then we contacted Mr. Sprott himself to find out his side of the story, which was starkly different from the IMF's rhetoric.
Sprott believes the IMF doesn't have all the physical gold it claims it has and that these deliveries to the central banks that have bought gold from the IMF are all just bookkeeping fallacy. He believes the price of gold is being suppressed.
In just one week on NBC, the detectives on "Law and Order" investigated a cash-for-clunkers scam, a nurse on "Mercy" organized a group bike ride, Al Gore made a guest appearance on "30 Rock," and "The Office" turned Dwight Schrute into a cape-wearing superhero obsessed with recycling.
Coincidence? Hardly. NBC Universal planted these eco-friendly elements into scripted television shows to influence viewers and help sell ads.
The tactic—General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal calls it "behavior placement"—is designed to sway viewers to adopt actions they see modeled in their favorite shows. And it helps sell ads to marketers who want to associate their brands with a feel-good, socially aware show.
“Happy Confederate History Month!” That’s how the following segment on CNN starts, with host Don Lemon asking CNN analyst Roland Martin to share his thoughts on the decision of some Southern U.S. states to recognize their Confederate history. Rarely do we see so we such emotion and passion on CNN, but in short, we’d like to see more. Because this is great television. To sum up Martin’s impassioned critique: “this is a celebration of American terrorists!”
Michelle Obama lets the Kenyan-born Barack Obama Truth out of the proverbial Illegal Alien Bag by saying that they took a trip to Africa to his home country in "Kenya" (0:47/3:00). Now you know why Obama is working so diligently to bring Comprehensive Illegal Amnesty to the forefront of his Fascist Agenda ...
American denialism threatens many areas of scientific progress, including the widespread fear of vaccines and the useless trust placed in the vast majority of dietary supplements quickly come to mind.
It doesn't seem to matter how often vaccines are proved safe or supplements are shown to offer nothing of value. When people don't like facts, they ignore them.
Nowhere is that unwillingness to accept the truth more evident than in the mindlessly destructive war that has been raging between the proponents of organic food and those who believe that genetically engineered products must play a role in feeding the growing population of the Earth. This is a divide that shouldn't exist.
For a long time many of us have had very serious suspicions that the prices of gold and silver were being highly manipulated. But now, thanks to the mind blowing testimony of one very brave whistle blower, the blatant manipulation of the world gold and silver markets is being blown wide open. What you are about to read below is absolutely staggering. Once the American people learn how incredibly corrupt the world financial system is, it is going to change everything. The government that we are all trusting to guard the integrity of the financial system is failing to do that job. It turns out that the Commodities Futures Trading Commission has been sitting on solid evidence that the elite banking powers have been openly and blatantly manipulating the price of gold and silver. Even though they were basically handed a “smoking gun”, they have done absolutely nothing with it. But now the information has gone public and the CFTC is red-faced.
Back in November 2009, Andrew Maguire, a former Goldman Sachs silver trader in Goldman’s London office, contacted the CFTC’s Enforcement Division and reported the illegal manipulation of the silver market by traders at JPMorgan Chase.
Maguire told the CFTC how silver traders at JPMorgan Chase openly bragged about their exploits – including how they sent a signal to the market in advance so that other traders could make a profit during price suppression episodes.
Bill Murphy, Chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee delivers his testimony about a whistle-blower in the gold price suppression scheme to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on 3/25/10.
I have been watching the TED Talks “Ideas worth spreading” (more like farts worth passing) propaganda for a few weeks now. I have noticed all the speakers spreading their globalist agendas in every talk. You have to watch all the way through to the IBM commercial that promotes carbon credits at the end of every speech. IBM, the company that brought the Nazis the Holocaust Jewish numbering system.
I held my peace until I watched Micheal Specter give his speech against what he calls “science deniers” and how they are endangering the world. I could bust many holes in his little talk, and I will defiantly post more about it; however for right now I will let you know that he is flat out lying.
Kyrgyzstan is "on the brink of civil war," according Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who warned that the country could be ripped apart by the current political upheaval.

Paul Volcker fired the shot heard around the world -- or at least around tax circles-last week when he delivered some bad news for anyone paying taxes. It's time, he said, to consider one more: the value-added tax -- the consumption tax used widely across the Atlantic.
"If at the end of the day we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes," said the head of President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, adding that the VAT, as it's called, is "not as toxic an idea" as we once thought. In fact, the United States is the only developed country that does not have a VAT.
Authorities in several Midwestern states were flooded Wednesday night with reports of a gigantic fireball lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.
The fireball was visible for about 15 minutes beginning about 10 p.m., said the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee.
"The fireball was seen over the northern sky, moving from west to east," said the NWS in the Quad Cities area, which includes parts of Iowa and Illinois.
"Well before it reached the horizon, it broke up into smaller pieces and was lost from sight," the service said. "Several reports of a prolonged sonic boom were received from areas north of Highway 20, along with shaking of homes, trees and various other objects including wind chimes," it said.
