Gold Market Manipulation and The Federal Reserve
Assertions are made that the manipulation takes place in a shroud of secrecy; and the unexpected lower prices for gold, or prices that don’t meet wildly bullish expectations, are cited as evidence of conspiratorial activity.
The claim is made that the price of gold would be much higher if this manipulative trading activity were exposed, acknowledged, and prohibited. But…
ALL MARKETS ARE MANIPULATED
****
I don’t disagree that there are forces at work in the gold market that can be disruptive; and may even be described as manipulative. However, the same is true of all financial markets – stocks, bonds, commodities, etc.
It is worth pointing out that gold and silver bulls are one-sided in their arguments against manipulation and its presumed effect on prices.
When prices don’t meet expectations on the high side, or an ‘unexpected’ drop in price occurs, finger-pointing at shadow figures is heightened.
Long-side investors in all assets, including precious metals, ‘benefited’ from the manipulative efforts of the Federal Reserve twelve years ago and again just recently.
The recent recovery in prices for stocks, bonds, oil, gold, and silver has been almost unbelievable. It is literally jaw-dropping, but nobody is complaining. Nobody cries foul when markets are manipulated for the purpose of driving prices higher.
Only a couple of years ago, JP Morgan Chase’s accumulation of silver was assumed to be bullish for silver prices. On the other hand, they have also been subject to scrutiny about price manipulation. Would silver bulls care about price manipulation if prices went up?
ALL HAIL THE FED
When prices of most assets dropped sharply in 2008, the Federal Reserve stepped in with both guns blazing and pledged incalculable amounts of money and credit creation.

For years, people have talked about a Great Monetary Reset. Now we’re seeing real changes in blockchain infrastructure, digital finance, and international monetary policy alongside some very interesting illustrations from the U.S. Debt Clock.
What if the next monetary transformation looks different from what everybody expected?

Physical Gold vs. Digital Gold: Which Is the Ultimate Safe Haven?
Published: 05-20-2026
Gold is trading at approximately $4,500 per troy ounce as of May 20, 2026 [World Gold Council]. However, the debate about physical gold vs digital gold matters more than most investors realise — because not all of these products are the same thing. Both show up on a brokerage statement with a dollar value attached. But what you actually own — what you hold, what you control, what survives a real crisis — is a very different story. This isn’t a debate about returns. It’s a debate about what “safe haven” actually means.

The Dinar Den: 10-20-2026
Stephen: Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel. We have some exciting and breaking news that came out of the central bank of Iraq today. So, I'm going to cover and go over those few articles that I think as dinar investors are um just exciting and I think they are very telling as to what the future might possibly hold.
And I'm gonna tie it all together and share how I think these things could possibly be related to a higher dinar exchange rate.
The Iraqi Dinar Is The Second Worst-Performing Arab Currency; Dollar Pressures Pose A Difficult Test For Monetary Policy.
October 20, 2026 The Independent - The classification of the Iraqi dinar among the Arab currencies that have declined the most against the US dollar has raised widespread questions about the future of monetary stability in Iraq, and the ability of the Central Bank to contain the increasing pressures on the exchange market, at a time when the economy is facing challenges related to oil revenues, government spending and the heavy reliance on imports.
The Iran War Will End. Expensive Diesel Won’t
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / sovereign Man) October 20, 2026
There’s a college degree that pays about $100,000 right out of school, which is pretty good money for a 22-year old. Within a few years, that pay could easily double.
Yet hardly any young person wants the job.
It’s not dangerous, it’s not dirty, and it doesn’t require superhuman work hours. The only reason young people aren’t interested is because Greta Thunberg told them it wasn’t cool.

Rob Cunningham: If the World Could Choose Only One Blockchain
10-20-2026
On a go forward basis, “all things considered”, based on the comprehensive utility and liquidity needs of the entire world, “if” only one blockchain was allowed to exist, which should it be?
My choice: the XRP Ledger.
Under this hypothetical – one blockchain serving the world’s combined needs for payments, currencies, tokenized assets, exchange and settlement – XRPL offers the strongest fit in my judgment.
