Gold or Silver - Which is a better "Conspiracy" investment?

Well, there's the Trillion Dollar question! Actively investing in gold and silver is usually a progression of understanding layers. First, you understand that the fiat US Dollar will likely lose value due to the massive abuse it takes at the hands of the US Government and the World Bankers. Then you understand that gold and silver would be excellent hedges for the problems with fiat money. Usually, after you invest in the metals, you start to understand that the gold and silver markets are not freely traded but manipulated on many levels. After that you try to understand and detect the manipulative maneuvers to both preserve the value of your investment as well as profit from the rigging. Ultimately you figure out that at some point the physical supply of both metals will run out and the market rigging game will end so it is important to be positioned properly for that moment.

So, in manipulation terms, which is the better investment...Physical Gold or Physical Silver? For me...it's physical SILVER. Hopefully, by now you understand the supply/demand aspects of silver but if you don't please review the Road to Roota Letter "Melt the Witch":

Apart from this I like to look at the "Conspiracy Side" of the Gold supply vs the "Conspiracy Side" of the Silver supply and on this level silver blows gold out of the water.

First gold. According to official sources there is only around 160,000 tons of gold that has ever been mined in the world. But the Conspiracy Side shows that there is much more physical gold than the official statistics. I usually add to the official supplies Yamashita's Gold, Hitler Nazi Gold, Russian Collapse Gold as well as secret mines and stashes that have long been rumored to be "in play". When I tally it all up I come up with the potential of over 500,000 tons of gold the world does not count as "Official Figures" but nobody really knows. Benjamin Fulford was told by his sources that the total above ground gold supply could be over 1M tons!

Having said that when you compare the amount of gold alleged to exist vs. the total fiat monetary pyramid of cash, bonds, deposits, derivatives, etc. $1,000/oz gold is a JOKE! The true FMV of gold should be well over $50,000/oz today but even that is conservative!

But silver is different in that it is not only a monetary metal and an industrial metal but it is a serious NATIONAL SECURITY issue. The first two I cover in Melt the Witch but an even more important characteristic of Silver is its use in the military. David Morgan summarized this in a article he wrote back in 2002.

http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/morgan/2002/1002.html

"According to data in the early 1980's, the U.S. military used more than 5,000 items containing silver, ranging from a naval torpedo using 4,161 ounces of silver to the smallest relays using less than 23 grams. The Defense Department has acknowledged that there are over 150 different kinds of bearings containing silver. The Defense Department also states that over 100 different kinds of batteries containing anywhere from a few grams to over 1000 ounces of silver are used in military applications."

I followed this article up with a piece of my own about silver and National Security called:

The Great Silver Mystery which showed how the US Treasury contributed an unbelievable amount of silver to the making of the first atomic bombs...

Not only were almost 500M oz removed from the US Treasury and is in the processing of Uranium in Oakridge, TN for over 50 years BUT silver was so scarce during the 1990's that the decision was made to close down the Calutrons and remelt the silver! Do you really need to ask yourself how the CFTC can turn a blind eye to silver manipulation on the COMEX?

For 50 years SILVER has been a GIGANTIC NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE but Greenspan, Clinton, Rubin and friends STILL decided to shut down the facility because there was so little physical silver to continue the market rigging activities! Instead of the Billions of ozs of silver that is estimated to exist above ground, I estimate there to be only 1B ozs left at a time when monetary demand for silver is exploding.

So you decide which is a better investment on the Conspiracy Supply basis:

Physical Gold which there may be 5x more than "Officially Reported"

or

Physical Silver which there may be 5x less than "Officially Reported"

Ron Paul & Barney Frank: Partners in taking down the Banking Cabal

The battle to take down the Banking Cabal has further intensified. Two of the insiders that are knee deep in the battle are Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Barney Frank. Both of these Congressmen were involved with the Gold Standard Implementation process under Ronald Reagan so every time I see them together I believe we are getting closer and closer to the ultimate goal: A true Gold Standard!

Here's a recent interview on Larry King Live

Keep an eye on them as the New Year Financial woes begin...

2009 Summary of Gold/Silver Manipulation

It was quite a year in the Gold manipulation world as the folks over at GATA.org are now discussed in the mainstream media after YEARS of being marginalized by the Corporate/Banker controlled press...but amongst many we still don our "tin foil hats"!

The Tungsten/Gold bars conspiracy was a bombshell that exploded on the large gold holders but was quickly doused by EVERYONE who held a 400oz bar of gold in their vault. You can bet that holders are anxious to sell their "questionable bars" and buyers are being extra careful to verify their metal isn't some kind of "Twinkie Gold". This story is not dead...just covered up for a while.

Ron Paul got enough signatures for his Audit the Fed Bill which is being incorporated into the Financial Reform Act that should pass in early 2010. Even the Federal Reserve has said this bill will destroy our monetary system!

Time's "Man of the Year" FED Chairman Benjamin Bernanke has consistanly been 100% wrong for the last 5 years! So why do we trust him to steer us in a correct direction now? //www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ79Pt2GNJo

The price of Gold rose 25% during the year from $880/oz to $1,100/oz...not to shabby but the price of Silver rose 50% during the year from $11.30/oz to $16.85/oz. Both performed well having the 800 lb US Government/Banker Manipulation Gorilla sitting on top of them!

The CFTC went the entire year without completing up the Silver Manipulation investigation which is supposedly in their "Enforcement Division". In the mean time JP Morgan has INCREASED their massive COMEX short position from 150M oz to 200M oz without even a slap on the wrist from the "regulators".

All in all, 2009 brought a lot of visibility to the Manipulation aspects of our Free Market System.

Crooks hate visibility!

New Website: RoadtoRoota.com

And finally before I head out on to the Road I'm happy to announce the birth of our new website www.RoadtoRoota.com!

This site will house the archives of the Road to Roota Letters and Departments and will assist in organizing our Subscribers resources. I have over 10 years of additional articles to add to the archives so please continue to explore the site and use the "search" function to find topics you want to read more about.

Now raise your glasses and drink a toast to the end of last years massive market manipulation and hopefully the beginning of something new for 2010. I don't know when but we WILL see the end of the Banking Cabal and the rebirth of our monetary system this year.

May the Road you choose be the Right Road.
