Western governments are printing ludicrous amounts of money to solve the problems to which their policies have given rise.
Along with this, and led by the USA, they intervene in the gold and silver market place via 3rd parties who suppress prices by selling ludicrous amounts which are not backed by their ownership of the real thing all in order to conceal the reducing value of fiat currencies and undermine confidence in physical precious metal as a safe haven.
Meanwhile the so called 'Regulators' waste public money pursuing 'investigations' which last for years designed to lead nowhere, the World Gold Council stand back and do nothing and a largely compliant mass media remain silent on the issue except for dismissing protestors as 'gold bugs' in articles which purposefully ignore the facts available.
As a result the West is effectively giving away all of its precious metals to Eastern countries who are are happy to buy them at these discounted prices.
1000's of Western investors who completely underestimated this increasingly brazen manipulation in the market place are being screwed as are the mining companies some of whom will probably be forced into bankruptcy if this practice does not stop.
This petition is to give Western governments and central banks a feel for the weight of public opposition to their legalised crime which has destroyed the true basis of price discovery in these markets which is supposed to be supply and demand for the real thing.
