"The world is a rigged game ... From gold to gas to swaps to interest rates, prices all over the world
are dependent upon little private cabals of cigar-chomping insiders
we're forced to trust ... That includes the markets for gold (where prices are set by five banks
in a Libor-ish teleconferencing process that, ironically, was created in
part by N M Rothschild & Sons) and silver (whose price is set by
just three banks), as well as benchmark rates in numerous other
commodities – jet fuel, diesel, electric power, coal, you name it ... It's not just stealing by reaching a hand into your pocket and taking
out money, but stealing in which banks can hit a few keystrokes and
magically make whatever's in your pocket worth less. This is corruption
at the molecular level of the economy, Space Age stealing – and it's
only just coming into view."
