Gold Price Manipulation is Ending—Are You Ready for What Comes Next?

If you’ve been watching gold prices creep toward $3,000 an ounce, you’re not alone. Something big is brewing, and the financial elites know it. According to Andy Schectman, the physical gold market is under serious strain, with gold and silver flowing out of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and into U.S. vaults at a staggering rate.

Since November 2024, over 12.5 million ounces of gold and 40 million ounces of silver have been pulled from London into the COMEX system. And JPMorgan is set to deliver $4 billion worth of gold into COMEX for the February contract. Let’s be real—who has that kind of money just lying around? This isn't some average Joe stacking a few coins. This is big money, institutional money, sovereign money.

And the question nobody wants to ask: Why now?

The Debt Spiral and Gold Revaluation

America’s financial situation is a house of cards. The national debt just blew past $36 trillion, and the Congressional Budget Office predicts interest costs alone will hit $1.8 trillion by 2035. That’s just interest! At this rate, the government will either have to print more money (inflationary death spiral) or find another way to plug the hole.

Schectman suggests they might try a different trick: revaluing gold. Right now, the U.S. Treasury still values its gold at an absurd $42.22 per ounce—a number that hasn’t changed since 1973. But if they reset it to today’s market price of nearly $2,900 per ounce, that would add trillions to the Treasury’s balance sheet overnight.

Every $1,000 increase in the price of gold boosts the government’s books by $1 trillion. Think about that. If they revalue it, it could be a way to keep the system limping along a little longer.

And it’s not just a fringe theory. Judy Shelton, who has long pushed for gold-backed Treasury bonds, sees it as a way to stabilize the dollar. Senator Cynthia Lummis has called for an audit of Fort Knox, which hasn't been independently verified since 1956. Even Elon Musk is now questioning if Fort Knox’s gold is really there, prompting Senator Rand Paul to invite him to take a look himself.

The Coming Gold Supply Crisis

Now here’s where things get dicey. It’s one thing to speculate about gold prices going up—it’s another when you literally can’t get your hands on it.

Schectman warns that physical gold is getting harder to source:

• The LBMA is seeing delivery delays of up to 8 weeks—basically a soft default.
• China’s major banks are running out of gold products due to skyrocketing demand.
• South Korea’s mint has temporarily suspended gold bar sales, citing a supply crunch.

And here’s something even bigger: 16 tons of gold were recently pulled from GLD, the world’s largest gold ETF. Why? Because major players are redeeming shares for physical metal—a huge red flag that the “paper gold” system is losing credibility fast.

Schectman put it bluntly:

"In 35 years of doing this, I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening right now."

What This Means for You

The writing’s on the wall. The suppression of gold prices is coming to an end, and when it does, gold could skyrocket. Meanwhile, fiat currency is in its final stages of decay. The dollar is being weaponized, debased, and phased out by rising BRICS influence. Central banks aren’t playing around—they’re buying gold like their lives depend on it.

So, what’s your move? Are you going to sit back and watch, or are you going to take action before it’s too late?
