For myself, I need no further proof that gold and silver prices are suppressed by TPTB than today's market actions. To wit: the ECB announces purchase of ~$639 billions of European banks debt, and gold and silver are down on the day? I won't even mention the outright theft of client physical bullion by the MF Global creditors happening right now. We are definitely living in an Orwellian/Twilight Zone world.
