In Gold, Silver, Diamonds, & Stock Markets, Controlling Perception is the Banker Weapon Du Jour

"When it comes to building wealth, muddying the difference between perception and reality is the key manipulation tool that banksters use to goad people into wrong choices. For example, when European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi vowed to save the Euro from collapse last week, and people all over the world foolishly believed him, all the European stock markets along with US stock markets rallied quit significantly for a few days on this proclamation. Even though there is nothing Draghi can do to prevent the reality of the Euro’s continued painful demise, and even Draghi himself likely knows this, Draghi’s prominence allows him to temporarily alter the public’s perception of reality and thus, cause a stunning, albeit a very-likely short-lived stock market rally. Likewise, the Western banking cartel that knows soaring gold and silver prices will usher in a quicker funeral for the Euro and the USD also tried valiantly and quite successfully to create the perception, for the greater part of this summer, that gold was going to collapse to the $1,200 level and that silver was going to collapse to the $20 level or lower by creating massive volatility in their bogus gold and silver paper futures markets, though this perception greatly differed from the reality of tightening global physical PM supplies and increasing global physical PM demand (for investment purposes). Banksters have always resorted to manipulating perception regarding capital markets versus actually changing the reality of capital markets to successfully defraud the people, as they have learned that they can control our behavior simply by controlling our perception. Thus, there is no need to solve a problem. By pretending to solve a problem, banksters can create a short-term rise in assets that should be collapsing. Similarly, when crashing gold and silver fails due to the Chinese backstop, banksters discovered that they can prevent people from buying physical PMs by simply creating a perception that gold and silver are going to crash by increasing volatility..."
