As many people who have been buying gold and silver are well aware the “paper market” (COMEX, LBMA) price of gold is used in determining the price for physical gold and silver. This has lead to many people claiming the price of gold and silver is easily manipulated. It’s been rumored for some time leverage on the LBMA is around 100 to 1 (contracts vs. physical). This in essence, allows [...]
Cyprus civil servants, pensions could go unpaid
AFP – Civil servants and pensions in cash-strapped Cyprus could go unpaid this month because of a shortfall of at least 75 million euros ($97 million) in government coffers, an official warned on Monday.
Finance Minister Haris Georgiades, meanwhile, cautioned that leaving the eurozone would take Cyprus back “centuries” and insisted the island has no “Plan B” for reneging on a 10-billion-euro ($13-billion) bailout.

The news coming out of Cyprus only gets worse.
It was bad enough that the political class even promoted the idea of STEALING depositors’ savings. But now we’re finding out that they lied time and again about how much they’d take.
Initially the plan in Cyprus was the following:
Simply TAKING 6.75% of ALL savings accounts up to the official insurance limit of €100,000
A 9.9% levy (THEFT) on all deposits [...]

Moody’s cuts country ceilings on Cyprus
“Moody’s Investors Service late Wednesday cut its assessment of the highest rating it can assign to a domestic debt issuer in Cyprus to Caa2, saying the move stems from increased risk the financially troubled country will exit as a member of the euro zone. Moody’s said any rating actions taken as a result of the new country ceiling will be released during the coming week. [...]

Cyprus put another nail in the coffin of Democracy and capitalism over the weekend.
Having found that the Cyprus people and Parliament wouldn’t stand for the confiscation (THEFT) of depositors’ savings, the EU bureaucrats simply chose an option in which voting doesn’t occur.
This is precisely what I feared would happen: that any basic rules or laws would be tossed out the window during times of extreme crisis. This has [...]
from Zero Hedge:
Rumors and news continue to play but some slight weakness after-hours (Treasuries at session highs) suggest fears might have legs. While the Cypriot government submits its bank restructuring (good-bank / bad-bank and capital controls) and Solidarity Fund (CCOs), there will be no vote until tomorrow morning Europe time.

There’s only one reason people leave money in a bank: because they think it’s safe there. They think they can get their money back out when they ask for it. This trust is what makes bank accounts possible, and without this trust, there is no longer any reason to put money in any bank.
The government of Cyprus just destroyed that trust across the entire EU. How did it accomplish [...]
The Fitch ratings agency has lowered Cyprus’s rating by one notch to BB+ from BBB- and kept a negative outlook, which means more downgrades are possible in the coming months due to a possible worsening situation in Greece.
With the downgrade, Fitch is now in line with other major ratings agencies – Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s – in pushing Cyprus’ credit rating into junk territory.
Fitch also expects Cyprus government debt will rise [...]
