Most honest financial experts know that the dollar as the world’s reserve currency will eventually end (think BRICS, Saudi’s accepting Juan as payment, etc). The only question is when. A decade or even more seems to be what I read most often. After reading this article I’m suspecting that it can happen practically overnight …. IF silver is priced at its actual value, and not suppressed as it has been for decades now. How long can they keep that silver charade up? Anyway, here is your executive overview (from the article):

The dollar’s reserve currency status doesn’t survive a precious metals price explosion. The exorbitant privilege ends. The ability to print dollars and exchange them for real goods from other countries evaporates.

==============================

Someone asked me to explain why they put so much effort into keeping silver cheap. What will happen if silver gets to its real price? Is the only reason that silver price will then symbolize the real inflation of central bank currencies?

Is that all?

No.

It’s actually so much worse than that.

Let me walk you through what I think is really happening. Because the silver (and gold) suppression scheme isn’t just any longer about hiding inflation.

It’s about preventing the collapse of the entire fiat monetary system.

Exaggeration? Maybe. But bear with me and decide for yourself.

Silver is the most accessible monetary metal for regular folks. You can’t buy a gold coin if you’re living paycheck to paycheck. But you can buy an ounce of silver.

And this is also exactly why it’s the most manipulated asset on the planet.

Four banks control 97.5% of all US precious metals derivatives. JPMorgan Chase. Citibank. Bank of America. Goldman Sachs. These aren’t small players dabbling in silver futures. These are the institutions that make up the backbone of the American financial system, and they’ve built a massive short position in silver that generates massive profits.

Until physical delivery is demanded.

Then the whole scheme collapses.

The paper-to-physical ratio sits currently at about 400 to 1 on COMEX. That means that for every single ounce of actual, physical silver that exists in the COMEX vaults, there are 400 paper claims on that silver. I don’t know what you would call this. But one thing this is not: a market. It’s a Ponzi scheme wearing a CFTC-approved suit.

When these buyers insist on real physical delivery rather than cash settlement, these paper positions must be covered with actual metal. And if that metal isn’t available… Well, you don’t need to guess… We’re watching that play out in real-time with China freezing silver exports and London vault depletion.

But let’s dig deeper into why they’re doing this . . .
