Will A Reprieve Come In Time?

The silver industry is blindly fighting against extinction
---Mining Congress Journal, July 1930, page 549
Four generations after this statement in the Mining Congress
Journal, we continue to behold, some of us almost in a state of
shock, this same hell spawned banking community attack against
historic money, along with a gold price which, while not so
drastically depressed as silver, also squelches maximum gold
production in a world starved for both precious metals. Two key
articles have recently appeared on this matter of silver companies
struggling to maintain their existence. In April I released Silver
Bully Boys And Their Kept Slaves and in late May another item
presented an even bleaker financial picture descriptive of current
conditions in the silver mining industry, 2013 Full Year Results---
Top Primary Miners Real Cost To Produce Silver. If a price
turnaround is delayed too long, the mining companies will be forced
to shut down mining (probably mining higher grade ore at this time)
---to sell properties, merge or liquidate. Meanwhile, silver users
like Tiffany & Company make wild markups on fabricated silver. In
Silver Supply Exclusion Targets---Tiffany & Avery Craftsman, a
May 2014 release, we saw that Tiffany sells a sterling baby rattle,
probably containing no more than one third ounce of silver, for
$400. Why should silver users make enormous profits on silver,
while silver suppliers run on life support, if at all? The New York
Times, June 19, 1973, page 49, reported that Tiffany & Company
called a silver price of $2.59 per ounce crazy.
Whats that? If Tiffanys $400 baby rattle has one third of an ounce
of silver---theyre marking silver up from about $6 their cost at
todays price---a 66.666 times mark up over cost? At the same
time silver miners are absorbing potentially crippling losses? Very
perversely, that figure is almost exactly identical to the horribly
skewed silver to gold ratio we currently rub our eyes at---in a
market in which gold itself is also badly depressed! All so paper
money printers can allege value to their booby-trapped product,
and so silver users can continue robbing miners. It may also be that
Tiffany, wily price bandits and conspirators that they indeed are---
have hedge contracts with Kennecott (RTZ) still, and/or others---at
lower rates. Corporations like RTZ, Exstrata and BHP Billington,
being network entities---are just too happy to dump their silver
output cheaply, while they make large incomes off other
commodities including diamonds. Tiffanys has 13 lowest rating
statements, one just above very poor, and one rating probably by a
plant at this site where a customer complained that a platinum
setting from Tiffany he was told by an independent jeweler had an
insufficient amount of metal to securely hold a diamond. If Tiffany
scrimps on silver, why would they also not do so with the costlier
metals? Tiffany has been making overblown claims for generations,
such as this (condensed scan) full page ad on page 3 of the
December, 1930, National Geographic Magazine---
Friends? Do you admire the Tiffany notion of moderately priced
with as much relish as I do? In their view, what would be a
moderate price for them to acquire silver for their craftsmen? Im
reminded of the diamond traders dickering over a stone. One of the
hagglers said, how about for free? to which the reply was I can
beat that price! Silver miners, being viewed as mere expendable
beasts of burden by the aristocratic patrician nobility of Tiffany---
should properly receive no payment for their silver product. Why
would anyone with a relative in the armed forces buy from Tiffany,
when the Silver Users Association carted off most of the former
national military silver reserve, and Tiffany is a SUA member? Why
would anyone else shovel money down a drain buying from Tiffany,
when stoutly superior values are available from so many other
sellers?
Did you know the Federal government used to fix the price of
silver by Congressional legislation? Utah Democrat Senator Abe
Murdock, quoted in the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, June
13, 1946, page 3249, complained---
Silver cannot be produced profitably at 71.11 cents per ounce.
The February 1963 Engineering & Mining Journal, page 96 said---
Mining costs are a matter of great concern for an industry which
must work at a fixed price for its product.
We are well past those times; the price ceiling on silver is
maintained by subversion in the futures markets rather than being
quite so obvious as government posted prices (50.01 cents per
ounce to holders of bullion when FDR seized silver, 64.64 cents per
ounce to domestic miners, et cetera, to 91 cents per troy ounce just
before silver trading reopened on June 12, 1963; gold was held back
till December 31, 1974, when the Feds officially shifted
administration of gold price suppression to the banker controlled
futures markets). The Bully Boys article mentioned six silver miners
while the other mentioned a dozen. Of course there are more than
a dozen struggling silver mining companies. The entire industry is
in a deteriorated financial condition. The plan of the monetary
metals suppressors may be to run most of the silver miners into
bankruptcy and forced liquidation, so that large multinationals with
Pilgrims Society members on their boards of directors---BHP
Billiton, RTZ Group and Xstrata--- may be able to acquire many
intrinsically valuable properties at the customary fire sale price. The
silver companies, especially the top tier names---are a strange lot.
Never say die longs are heavily invested, however, financial entities
controlled by Pilgrims Society interests like State Street, Barclays and
the lot of them, hold enough shares to keep senior management
muzzled as to the price suppression. The U.K. and the United States
are the gold and silver price suppressors, but I dont see how they
can have their way much longer. All commodities are part of a
world market, and the world is weary of Anglo-American bullying.
The February 1943 Mining Congress Journal, page 8, mentioned
silver as the target of RACKETEERING on the part of governments
and industrialists. Could Uncle Sam force a level playing field to
allow silver miners price equity for the indispensable raw material?
Yes. Will he? No, because the government has long since been
bought off. Let me show you something I found in the Times,
London, July 24, 1933, page 12, about a similar situation in the
agricultural sector. Scanned---
Havent silver mining shareholders been demoralized by the
collapse of prices on a wearisomely repetitive basis, for
generations? The Chicago Board of Trade has always been a reliable
member entity of The Network. More---
Our community has complained to the government for many years
about this matter of silver futures restrictions, regulations and
limitations being imposed only on silver longs. The usual
government response is---we know of no malpractice in the
pricing of silver. The hazy figure above is 13,000,000. Interjecting
a small excerpt from The Times, June 10, 1933, page 12, just six
weeks before this grain news from the U.S., we see that the
American delegation to the World Monetary Conference of 1933
where silver was again badly shafted, had a meeting with their
British counterparts of The Pilgrims Society who staged the
conference---
Continuing with the grain trading item---
And? What of the governments responsibility to protect the public
and innocent investors against this sort of frenzied gambling in
silver? The crux of the issue is that silver---more than anything
else across the long pages of history---and over more immense
territories than anything else and in far more numerous
transactions---has been used as money. And we are on a synthetic
currency system sponsored by a behind the scenes regime of
financiers. They desire no competitors to this managed currency
that constantly robs savers and retirees especially. The Roosevelt
administration did not have any concern for millions of small
farmers. The move was about getting him re-elected and little else,
besides possibly injuring Chicago Board of Trade speculators who
werent recipients of advance information. Concern was expressed
over farmers receiving ruinous prices, hell, thats what silver
miners got most of last year and damn it, are still getting as this is
pounded out on my keyboard. CME and its subsidiary exchange
have carte blanche to run more silver companies into bankruptcy,
with the full blessings and ritualized denials of Jeff Christian. The
1958 adventure film The Vikings comes to mind, in the scene
where the Viking leader struck a captive, asking a collaborator, any
objections to which his response was---
Of course not my lord, hes only a slave!
Jeff is the collaborator; the suppressors are the Vikings. And
correcting Mr. Spock in Star Trek IV (1986) when he said nothing
unreal exists, he can look into naked shorting of precious metals--
-unbacked sales. The metal being dumped doesnt exist and is
unreal, but the deleterious effects on mining companies are real.
Over the years weve seen scant protests by mining company
officials. A rare exception was Edgar Smith, who was general
manager of Coeurs Rochester Mine near Lovelock, Nevada, in the
Las Vegas Review Journal, February 5, 1998---
Weve seen a drop in inventory and demand outstripping supply for
a long time, but silver stayed below $5 an ounce. It didnt add up.
There remains a sizeable percentage of metals investors who will
insist with a straight face that there is no planned, scientific
management of prices on the short side. Herewith another
quotation, from the September 22, 1965 episode of The Big Valley
(Forty Rifles) ---
Men are sheep, Barkley! These men are sheep! Going willingly---
eagerly---to the slaughter, rather than face their own inadequacy
and failure!
Gold and silver are world markets. The Anglo-American price
dampeners, it appears, cant suppress prices for many more
months. That leaves the unpleasant prospect of overseas military
activities, giving them an excuse to institute full martial law, and
seizing gold and silver from Americans once again. Contact your
representatives on Capitol Hill and insist we not go to war overseas.
Its enough if we defend our own borders. If silver were to be
nationalized again, we all know that it would be showered on the
Silver Users Association like confetti in a ticker-tape parade. Listen
you scum-lapping s**t bags---you drop your nationalization
dreams, well run your companies into bankruptcy with consumer
boycotts. And the public is beginning to get it that money just has
to circulate in public hands---not mere representations of money!
One of Thomas Jeffersons best dictums was---
It is said that our paper is as good as silver, because we may have
silver for it at the bank where it issues. This is not true. One, two,
or three persons might have it; but a general application would soon
exhaust their vaults, and leave a ruinous proportion of their paper in
its intrinsic worthless form. Everything predicted by the enemies of
banks is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the
deluge of bank paper. Bank paper must be suppressed, and the
circulating medium must be restored to the nation to whom it
belongs.
We have fraudulent exchanges, shady banks, corrupt government
officials, crooked judges, and a shortside industrial cartel in silver,
and the entire British Commonwealth of nations, all acting to block
silver prices rising. After phony paper money itself, these activities
against silver constitute the most severe monetary fraud in entire
world history. But other nations are exerting against this by buying
and holding silver, and several States have enacted legislation
positive for silver. State, county and city governments are all at risk
of increasing insolvency unless they act rapidly to acquire gold,
silver, and/or the platinum group metals. And there is no reason to
do so if they allow the con of storage by any Wall Street entity, and
those need not have their home office in Manhattan to be of such
variety. After a big tussle with the States, it may become possible to
have all Federal judges impeached and removed from office,
inasmuch as they were all appointed by various Presidents, and all
these Presidents are under Pilgrims Society control. In that event,
lawsuits against silver manipulating entities may actually become
feasible. The New York Times, definitely no friend of silver and a
Pilgrims entity in its own right, stated on June 22, 1987 in an item
titled, Uneasy Calm At The Comex ---
"The 1980 silver crisis prompted a wave of lawsuits that seek a total
of more than $1 billion in damages. Comex officials are confident
the exchange will never be forced to pay; if they are wrong,
JUDGMENTS AGAINST THE EXCHANGE COULD CRIPPLE IT.
I just sensed some liberal groaning, No, Federal judges are all
independent. Dream on; there were reasons those COMEX officials
were confident in the courts. Corruption of courts against hard
money vastly pre-dated the early 1870s, of which financial historian
Gustavus Myers observed capitalists owned whole strings of
judges (page 418, History of the Great American Fortunes, 1937).
Jay Gould (1836-1892) was the ninth wealthiest man in American
history and he bought off an entire regiment of judges in
connection with his immense gold manipulations, which yielded him
a demonstrably criminal profit of $11 million in 1869 (the same year
Commodore Vanderbilt seized $44 million), however Gould had
huge railroad swindles also. Jay Gould (below) is regarded as the
most hated man of 19
th
century American history. In 1903 his son
Edwin became a charter member of The Pilgrims Society. The
Goulds had a marriage with the Winthrops (Pilgrims Society), who
are related to the Aldrich family (Pilgrims Society) that played a role
in the founding of the Federal Reserve.
If a price reprieve transpires in time to save the silver mining
companies, will the response of the Obama administration be to
call for windfall profits taxes? Folks these silver suppressors are
as horrible a bunch of criminals as history has ever seen. Theyre
multiples worse than the Klingon who said on Star Trek
November 1, 1968 Day of the Dove---
Four thousand throats may be slit in a single night by a running
man!
Paul Volcker was listed in the leaked roster
for 1980 of The Pilgrims Society, having been
appointed chairman of the Federal Reserve
System in August 1979 (through August
1987). He was the architect of the so-called
bailout loan to the Dallas Hunt brothers
after Volcker and his Pilgrims Society pals,
especially former Treasury Secretary,
COMEX director William Simon, killed the
silver boom. Under the terms of Volckers
deal, the Hunts were stripped of (estimates
vary) 59 to 63 million hard silver ounces by
1986! This Pilgrims Society monetary
conspirator, who back in the 1960s was
yammering that gold could fall to $5 the
troy ounce, is one of the members pulling
Obamas puppet wires. Message to the
Pilgrims Society---if any president issues an
Executive Order in any way similar to
Roosevelts EO 6102 against gold ownership
or his EO 6814 against silver ownership; if
any order is issued nationalizing mining
properties or instituting a windfall profits
tax; or if any order is issued mandating gold
and silver miners must deliver their output
to the Federal Reserve or the Treasury---we
will already know the Pilgrims Society is the
source of any such use of government power
to block capital formation outside your
circles! Why dont you appalling sobs
disband already? The jig is up and you are
being dragged into public view!
Nature alone, and not man, can be trusted with the vital problem of
the worlds money supply.
---anti-banker opinion expressed in the New York Times,
December 19, 1933, page 38.
In reference to the Great Depression, caused exclusively by Great
Britains attack against silver money that started in British India in
1926 under Pilgrims Society member Viceroy Irwin, we find this
statement by Caroline Evans, secretary of the Bimetallic Association,
based in Denver, on page 5, section IV, of the New York Times,
October 22, 1933---
THE TRADE OF CHINA IS APPROACHING THE VANISHING POINT.
The reason was the British wrecked silvers purchasing power, and
China could no longer afford to buy export goods from American
sources. The same was true of India and the rest of the Far East and
the silver producing countries from Mexico down to Chile and
Argentina. Everyone was grievously injured whose money was in
silver. Naturally this caused mass factory (and mining)
unemployment in the USA, Britain and Europe. Today the United
States is a gold and silver depleted country. What will we offer in
payment to the rest of the world for imports? We must revalue gold
and silver to some zenith degree, in order to have a chance to dig
out of this banker supervised hole. The free market---not
government---must manage this desperately needed transition. As
Congressman Hill from Colorado expressed in the New York Times,
September 21, 1942, page 26---
These boys from New York have had enough to say about the
countrys finances. Theyve put us in a hell of a hole. If were
going to start overhauling the monetary system, then lets go all
the way and not just talk about silver.
It is preposterous that gold and silver could be remonetized
without the companies who produce these money metals
achieving substantial prosperity.
