Addressing More Myths about Gold and Silver

I wanted to mention some points about gold and silver I have not previously addressed. Many of you who have read our articles on gold will note that I have addressed virtually every aspect of these metals.

I have discussed the use of gold as a hedge against market declines and deflationary periods.
I have also dispelled most of the ridiculous myths being spread about gold and related economic claims such as the gold/inflation hedge myth, the dollar collapse/hyperinflation hoax, and many others.
Finally and perhaps most significantly, I have also spent a great deal of time and effort exposing the dark side of the gold dealer network, explaining the genesis and mechanisms by which they have spread massive waves of gold propaganda.
In fact, I’m willing to bet that you will not be able to find a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of gold and silver anywhere in the world, than what can be found in the numerous articles I have written over the past few years.
 

 

But there are a couple of more recent issues I plan to address here because they seem to be gaining momentum by those who are desperate to cling onto anything they can find that will revitalize their hope that gold and silver will soar to new highs.
As the gold and silver bull markets continue to solidify their bearish status, the gold charlatans have unified to deliver a variety of conspiracies, false information, lame excuses and such in order to maintain mind control over their sheep.
For some time now we have been hearing all sorts of crazy statements made by gold charlatans such as the economy is fake, the dollar is headed to zero, hyperinflation is coming, earnings are fake and the stock market is being driven by quantitative easing, the stock market is going to collapse to 1000, and so forth.
These ridiculously pathetic claims have been repeated over and over again by virtually every single one of these gold charlatans and their minions, even as the stock market continues to make new record-highs, as the dollar sets multi-year highs, and in the face of a period of devastating price declines in gold and silver.
One of the more ironic things about these gold charlatans is that they invariably trash the dollar, calling it “worthless paper,” yet they want your “worthless” dollars in exchange for their gold and silver.
Many of these same gold charlatans have insisted that the central banks were responsible for collapsing gold and silver pricing because they wanted to buy it at lower prices. “Now that prices have collapsed and central banks are buying, you need to buy as much as you can,” according to these con men, “before the price soars to the moon!”
