> So now, gold prices have been weak for a few years, so they have to come up with a new narrative. And that narrative is global conspiracy. So you get groups like GATA [1] and Zero Hedge [2] pushing various stories about how gold is being squirreled away somewhere mysterious, or prices are being suppressed by faceless multinationals or what-have-you. Maybe it's true! I don't know, but there's never really been any evidence, and it just sounds like someone justifying a failed investment thesis.

I've been following the Gold bug sphere in 2006, 2007 and there's absolutely nothing new about these conspiracy theories. They have been pushing them ever since, and you haven't even scratched at Bilderberger/Illuminati/Jews/Take your influential minority.
