Gold Conspiracies, Hit And Run Crashes 

Gold Conspiracies, Hit And Run Crashes 

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission was told at March 25 hearing that the price of gold was being artificially and illegally  suppressed by JPMorganChase.

The claim was made by Bill Murphy, chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, who has long said the price of gold was being held down to sustain a financial bubble.

This time Murphy unveiled the name of a whistle-blower, Andrew Maguire, a London-based metals trader, who he said had emailed investigators about looming market manipulation which came to pass.

The day after the hearing, Maguire and his wife were injured in a bizarre hit-and-run accident in London which led to a wild police chase involving patrol cars and helicopters, and the arrest of the driver of the striking car.

The name of that driver has not been reported nor have any charges. The Maguires were hospitalized with minor injuries and released on March 28.

The left-leaning firedoglake.com was among the first to report the allegations of Murphy and Maguire. It’s now starting to bubble up in more mainstream publications.

Need For A Little Leadership

Need For A Little Leadership — An email is going around regarding how the First Lady’s failure to accompany President Obama on his trips to Islamic nations is an indication that our president is a secret Muslim.

It’s actually more than an email. Conservapedia, for instance, mentions the matter in a whole section in the President’s biography entitled “Obama is likely the first Muslim President”.

Michelle Obama visited eight countries in 2009.

  1. The United Kingdom
  2. Denmark
  3. France
  4. Germany
  5. The Czech Republic
  6. Italy
  7. Russia
  8. Ghana

It is true, none of these are Muslim lands. On the other hand, however, Michelle did not participate in the President’s trips to China, Japan or Mexico. Frankly, I think it’s more of an indication that Michelle is a diva, than Barack is a Muslim.

Still, Obama ought to recognize that millions of his constituents believe these stories and he ought show a little leadership and haul Michelle with him the next time he visits Arabia or Turkey.

Of course, he should have also waived any privacy rights to birth or college records when the Birther movement started, and he has yet to do so.
