Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen:
Gold closed down $16.10 to finish the comex session at $1713.30. Silver which was certainly the object of interest to our bankers today, was whacked early but recovered to show a loss of only 20 cents finishing at $32.67 As I promised you yesterday a raid was imminent, and we certainly had a dandy attack today. The gold/silver mining equity shares had a terrible day yesterday and another one today. One of the big signs of an attack will happen is when the precious metal is up on the day coupled with a big drop in the mining shares. This is a signal to the bankers that a raid is forthcoming the next day. The bankers today threw a monstrous 19,182 gold contracts in a 5 minute span or 3800 contracts per minute. These were all non backed with any gold behind them. In raids such as this, in normal times, silver would have dropped by $1.50 or so on this collusive behaviour. Today however, silver held firm and refused to follow the wishes of JPMorgan and friends. A fall of only 20 cents is surely a victory for our side.
There is no question that the bankers are intent on getting gold below the $1700 mark and silver below the 32.50 level as many calls have been written on gold and silver. The bankers do not want many of these contracts to land in the money and thus the massive onslaught we witnessed today. As long as we have no referee, the bankers will be free to do anything they like. Their only problem is real physical which according to GATA has seen supplies drop dramatically in London.

Guess What They Are Not Cutting In The Fiscal Cliff...
In his farewell address to Congress yesterday, Ron Paul blasted the dangers of what he called 'Economic Ignorance'.
He's dead right. Around the world, economic ignorance abounds. And
perhaps nowhere is this more obvious today than in the senseless
prattling over the US 'Fiscal Cliff'. US government spending falls into
three categories: Discretionary, Mandatory, and Interest on Debt. The
only thing Congress has a say over is Discretionary Spending. But here's
the problem - the US fiscal situation is so untenable that the
government fails to collect enough tax revenue to cover mandatory
spending and debt interest alone. This means that they could
cut the ENTIRE discretionary budget and still be in the hole by $251
billion. This is why the Fiscal Cliff is irrelevant. Increasing taxes
won't increase their total tax revenue. Politicians have tried this for
decades. It doesn't work. Bottom line-- the Fiscal Cliff doesn't matter. The US passed the point of no return a long time ago. Visualizing The World's Rich
We
hear a lot about billionaires, millionaires, and 250,000-aires but
just where are all these tax-dodging blood-suckers skulking and just how many trips to Space on Virgin Galactic can the Top 25 Wealthiest people take per day?... Everything you wanted to know about the uber-wealthy is one simple mega-infographic.DTCC Provides Update On Status Of Flooded Securities Vault
As
has been widely reported previously, while the NY Fed's deep
underground gold vault remained dry during the Sandy flooding in
downtown NY, one institution which got badly hurt was the DTCC, aka Cede
& Co (profiled here in July of 2009 in " The Biggest Financial Company You Have Never Heard Of"), which is the entity serving as custodian of virtually every electronically traded
security in the modern marketplace (equity, debt, derivative,
synthetic, in fact anything which is not a physical asset in itself and
is not in the hands, or safe, of the rightful owner). We put the
emphasis on electronically, because DTCC is also the actual
custodian of all physical proof of stock ownership, such as
certificates, bond deeds, and the like. It is the largely irrelevant
latter (because it has been several decades since anyone actually
demanded a physical copy of the stock certificates backing their shares
of company XYZ) that the DTCC got in trouble for when its securities
vault got flooded, and in the process destroyed countless physical stock certificates. Note we did not use the word electronic
because those are there and accounted for in numerous back up data
sites, with full designation and attribution. In other words anyone who
made a mountain out of this particular mole hill sadly has no idea how
modern markets operate, since all that the DTCC needs to do to remedy
the flooding damage is to notify transfer agents of this natural
disaster, and then have duplicate stock certificates printed at a cost
of 1 cent for every thousands or so print outs. Which is more or less
what the DTCC also just said in its press release.Gold Lower but Holding Above Support
Trader Dan at Trader Dan's Market Views - 7 minutes ago
Considering what looks more like a non-stop avalanche of selling in the
mining sector, the yellow metal is holding relatively well. It has bounced
off the first level of support shown on the price chart that comes in very
near to the $1700 level.
Failure to remain above this level will allow the market to move lower
towards the $1680 region where it can be expected to find some buying
support.
To get the least bit of excitement going, gold will have to clear $1740 and
remain above that level before it rattles anyone other than the most
short-term bears.

Ron Paul Comments on the Secession Movement

Ron Paul: The Founders Believed in Secession
“Secession is what we did when we left England, it was a wonderful thing”
*Paul Joseph Watson*
Infowars.com
November 15, 2012
Congressman Ron Paul reacted to the secessionist movement sweeping America
today by reminding people that the United States seceded from the British
empire, while slamming those who suggested their fellow Americans should be
deported merely for talking about the idea.

Gold Follows The ABCD Cycle
Eric De Groot at Eric De Groot - 2 hours ago
Gold follows an A(minor up), B(minor down/consolidation), C(Major UP), and
D(Major DOWN) cycle. The last major buy signal for gold came July 27th 2012
after the D-wave "hook". This buy signal is marked in the chart below.
We're in the middle of an AB transition, but today's aggressive selling in
the gold shares sector suggests that a large number of retail traders and

Why Politicians Hate Austerity - In One Simple Chart
Just as our political class in the US is spending its time focused on the tax-'em-til-they-bleed side of the equation as opposed to the cut-em-to-the-bone austerity side of the income statement; so the evidence is clear (thanks to the following chart) - austerity doesn't get you re-elected. When all that matters is your next government paycheck for your 'elected' position, far from being for the people, austerity is avoided as vehemently as possible. Not only does social unrest increase (as the 'people' have become used to unsustainable standards of living) but incumbent popularty sinks - rapidly.
Low Range, Medium Volume, High Anxiety
Equity indices end the day marginally red as the machines tried every trick in the book to get markets up...(levering FX carry, spiking PMs, running HYG, spiking vol)
to enable more selling - especially at the close when we saw notable
size blocks being traded into that ramp to try and get green. VWAP was the anchor all day for S&P 500 futures (and since the synthetics are where the liquidity is - everything else followed) as stocks trend-reversed as normal on the EU close.
In general volatility and high-yield credit had a significantly weak
day but into the close managed to rise a little as risk-assets broadly
recoupled with equity markets to close. Despite a lot of noise and chop
stocks lost a little, Treasuries gained a little (-2bps on the week!), Silver scrambled back from its flash crash (but gold didn't do as well), and the USD ended today up a remarkably unchanged 0.04% (with EUR up 0.5% and JPY down 2.2% on the week). VIX ended back above 18% as AAPL just keeps falling with its 300DMA now in play.Hamas Releases Video Of Downed Israeli Drone, IDF Denies
Someone is lying here: either Hamas did not down an IDF drone, dubbed "Sky Light", and the clip below is one big fraud (unclear why Hamas would go to such a length to fabricate a downed drone video), or the IDF is lying when it said it "confirmed" that one of its drones had been shot down. Either way, we have a feeling that the airborne campaign is coming to an end, and that Israel may and likely will escalate to a full blown land invasion very soon unless something dramatically changes. We fail to see what catalyzes this.
Goldman's Swirlogram Confirms Economic Slowdown
It would seem that the downswing into this economic slowdown has been considerably faster than many expected (as it always seems to be). Since we first introduced Goldman's Swirlogram indicator the business cycle (in May 2012), helped by the promise more and more liquidity, we have rotated remarkably from slowdown to contraction to recovery to expansion and now - in November - the leading indicators are pointing to a rapid shift into a slowdown phase. The Global Leading Indicator (GLI) is losing momentum fast and has made lower cycle highs each time since the 2009 'recovery' began. While Goldman caveats some of this with 'Sandy'-related impacts, the GLI seems to confirm what Global PMIs are hinting at - that global growth is slowing.
The Hypocrite Of The Day Award Goes To...
While we largely enjoy Dallas Fed's Dick Fisher hawkish, non-conformist thinking at the FOMC, and his willingness to come up with amusing cartoon names to explain the Fed's monetary policy (we are currently on Toy Story, and specifically Buzz "To Infinity and Beyond" Lighyear), we certainly do not miss when even said faux Fed bad cops telegraph hypocrisy so gruesome it shows demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt just how fake the facade of the Fed's "contrarians" truly is. To wit:- FISHER SAYS U.S. LAWMAKERS HAVE BECOME `PARASITIC WASTRELS'
How America's Middle Class, And Future Pensioners, Bailed Out A Generation Of Overzealous Homebuyers
In the current Bernanke-Obama-Keynes toxic triangle (defined previously here)
economy, blink too long and you will miss the latest bailout. While 4
years ago, it was America's M.A.D.-hostage taxpaying middle class that
had no choice but to fund the trillions in direct Fed cash handouts and
guarantees to bail out the banks, in the process saving and preserving
the trillions in wealth for America's uber wealthy (the "1%") class, ever since then it has been the government's turn to rescue the country's lower and lower-middle classes (the "47%"),
who, with no gun to their heads, decided to splurge during the height
of the housing bubble (insurmountable mortgage payments and $0 down
notwithstanding) and buy that aspirational McMansion that would make
them so much more appealing in the eyes of the next door neighbor (who
too could never afford their house in the first place). This has
happened courtesy of a progressively more pervasive mortgage forgiveness plan, which
has seen the total amount of debt funding a given home purchase shrink
little by little each day. However, since there is no free lunch
anywhere, certainly not when a bank's balance sheet is being impaired,
like in 2008, someone is once again on the hook for this latest
bailout. That someone, not surprisingly, is again America's
middle class that lived within its means, that saved money while others
splurged, and even put cash away for retirement, handing it over to
various Pension investment vehicles. 
On the near 100% probability that Germany will not voluntarily give
money to Spain, nor will Germany voluntarily modify its trade policies,
the choices facing Spain are quite bleak.Michael Pettis, writing for Carnegie Europe describes Spain’s unpleasant choices in Spain Will be Forced to Choose.
In the great debate over the economy we sometimes forget the simple arithmetic of economic rebalancing. This arithmetic, like it or not, severely limits the options open to Spain.

Israel attacked and killed the top Hamas leader yesterday. The attacks
back and forth commenced AFTER our elections; are you surprised? The
“leadership scandal” within our military has only gone public, again,
AFTER the elections. If you were watching closely for the last several
months you would know that there has been a handful of other Generals
and Admirals that have been replaced. There are several theories on
this. My theory is that these were longtime and “conservative” leaders
that were swept out of power in a clean sweep. Is this a surprise? I
could also ask the same question about the recent deluge of negative
economic reports and the suddenly declining stock market but I’ll let
you think this through.In the past, were any of our ambassadors killed and dragged through the streets, you could bet your bottom Dollar that swift and very forceful retribution would have been our response. Not so today. In the past, were Egypt (another “sort of” ally) to publicly back Hamas and oppose Israel, there would have been an immediate retraction from them and or a statement from The White House. Again, not so this time to the point where the only thing being heard are crickets, lots and lots of crickets.

The stable price of silver has Indians investing in the white metal, with investors looking for good returns.
by Shivom Seth, MineWeb.com
It is not just gold that caught the eye of Indian consumers
celebrating Diwali. Brisk business in silver was also seen in select
parts of the country.
Given the high price of gold and the Indian government’s new regulation on buying gold and tax deductions at source, the sale of silver items at jewellery shops soared to a new high.
“Silver has proved to be the preferred substitute with most retail buyers this Diwali,” said Manish Mehta of bullion retailer, D P Zaveri and Sons

Yet, although much of the European press is dark on the issue, which is unfortunately characteristic of the mainstream media in any nation, some Italian newspapers are reporting the information regarding the meeting.
According to 21stCenturyWire, the agenda apparently centered around the fate of EU countries such as Italy, Spain, and Greece, three nations that have been hit hard with the worldwide derivatives crisis and the subsequent imposition of austerity.

When a reader (and fellow silver-mining investor) recently expressed
his frustrations on our Forum regarding the absurd valuations which most
of these miners currently exhibit, I decided it was once again time to
try to shed some light (and sanity?) on this subject.
When I began investing in these silver miners many years ago; one of the first anomalies to which I was introduced was that the vast majority of silver produced in the world (more than 75% at that time) was produced as a “byproduct” of other mining. While I immediately recognized that this was an extremely important factoid, at that time I lacked the level of understanding necessary to glean its true significance.
Since that time, the ramifications of these incredible parameters in silver mining are now apparent to me. Sadly, however, this important analytical point does not seem to be as apparent to others. While I’ve covered this subject matter once already in a prior commentary, the lack of general awareness in this area clearly merits repetition of this analysis.

Call it wishful thinking, but a small part of me thinks that the real reason why German officials are starting to ask tough questions about their gold reserves
is because it is losing confidence in our monetary system. (And could
you blame them? The Europe Union has a majority of countries in deep
economic and political decline, and the United States government only
knows how to borrow and spend trillions of dollars a year. It’s only a
matter of time before everything falls apart.)
Incidentally, “confidence” is a word central bankers love to use. They are always talking about “renewing,” “rebuilding” or even “restoring” confidence. If they could only “boost confidence,” the economy would be much, much better.

A very important article came out from the Wall Street Journal
yesterday titled “FHA Nears Need for Taxpayer Funds,” and it outlines
the serious financial problems facing the Federal Housing
Administration. For those that are unaware or need a refresher, the FHA
has been the key element to the phony “housing recovery” the government
has been trying to create. In the wake of the collapse of 2008, Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac blew up and what was left to pick up the pieces was
the FHA. No private player would issue loans with down payments of 3%,
but this was no problem for the FHA!
Interestingly enough, a lot of the subprime borrowers that blew up the housing market the last time became the primary customers of the FHA. Let’s see, 3% down and subprime borrowers…what could possibly go wrong?! From the WSJ:
