Overview: It’s been a while since I have commented in detail about the Commitment of Traders Report (COT), since there have been other issues to be discussed. Plus, I know many find the topic confusing. However, there have been some recent developments that should be reviewed.

For months we have been talking about the shorts being cornered by the rise in silver prices. That proved to be bad thinking. The possibility that the longs were vulnerable to margin calls was never raised in any of those discussions. I find that disappointing (if I am remembering correctly, and maybe I need to be corrected.)

However, if you come here and find you are buying the same assets as JP Morgan, that is not such a bad thing. But, it is not part of the advice we had been given that I can recall.

Democracy might be the best of all solutions. But as much as communism can't be perfectly established, neither can democracy. As time goes by, everything turns into the opposite of what is supposed to be. The US of A. is no longer a democracy. Their is overwhelming evidence that democracy got undermined and turned into some kind of corporate fascist state. The constitution is not respected by your government. There is no such thing like the FED mentioned in the constitution, but fiat money must be backed by gold and silver is mentioned.

Stealing. lying, cheating, manipulating, torture, killing and ignoring human rights in general are common behavior. Your moral infrastructure is unsound and in serious need of repair. Your so called democracy is a fake. Mafia like organized elites took over and controlling the cornerstones of your nation: Education, Economy, Health System, Information, Legislative, Executive.

The common peoples existence is legalized by the mere fact to either strip them of their accumulated wealth and/or to burden them with the elites debt. The common peoples duty is to obey and to shut up. If they dare to complain to loud, they will be crushed mercilessly. There is no hope. Proved by history, only total destruction paves way to a real new beginning. And things will start all over again, unless we prove us out of existence, forever.

Complaining about the Silver price manipulations is like pointing to one brick in the wall.

As I was finishing this article, I received an e-mail form letter from the CFTC concerning the silver manipulation they are supposedly conducting. Others of you have sent me copies of the same e-mail form letter. The CFTC sends me, for the very first time, a form letter asking for information about a manipulation in silver after me contacting them on many hundreds of different occasions over the past 23 years. Are they kidding? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Ted, I suspect that this CFTC email has gone to all your followers and others who have complained about silver market manipulation. I think it best to treat it seriously. Illustrated perhaps with appropriate extracts from your various postings.
In addition it is the opportunity to demand for more more transparency in the COT reports, in particular the names of the large commercials and non-commercials rather than this meaningless division.
Ted, thanks for keeping up the pressure

To the CFTC Department of Enforcement
Dear Sirs
Thank you for your email and attachments.
The evidence of market manipulation is self evident.
The market lacks transparency and verification.
We know that one or two traders launch huge programmes of short selling, programmes so large that they cannot hold that amount of silver in their own vaults.
The CFTC does not verify the existence of the silver which has been short sold, thereby being itself a party to the market manipulation. This of course means that it beggars belief that the Department of Enforcement will expose criminal activity by another department of CFTC, unless of course YOU, SIR, HAVE SOME INTEGRITY. Is that too much to hope?
The objectives of these naked short selling programmes is to trigger stop sales by other traders, whereupon the market falls further and the criminal traders can buy back their shorts at a profit.
What is needed to prove that market manipulation does not exist is:
1. COT report by trader name for say the top 10 traders
2. Verification that traders have unencumbered title to silver bullion to cover their short sales
