They went to battle against the powers that be. In the end digits beat out physical. The banks could create more digital silver than physical and no amount of physical can compete with that. The futures markets and paper/digits beat the hunt brothers. Banks win.
Here is a small summary of the recent history of silver:
Hunt brothers to Buffett. Buffett bailed when SLV was created in 2006. Of course Buffett and the banks colluded to create SLV. Buffett was trying to corner the silver market as well but the banks and Buffett came to an agreement. SLV was created in 2006:
SLV IS the silver market. And it is owned and controlled by JP Morgan. They want the price down........Dump SLV into the market. They want the price to rise. Remove SLV from the market.
You have to read between the lines and figure out what has happened here.
Why own the physical when the price is controlled by SLV?
Who runs SLV? JP Morgan Who owns the most silver in the world? JP Morgan Who is the primary manipulator of Silver and SLV? JP Morgan.
So who benefits when the price of silver rises?
The banks and corporations own everything. They control the manipulation and the prices. They set the contracts, they fill the contracts. They hold the shorts and they set the prices. They control the quantity of metals going into the market as they also own and control the miners.
They control, bribe, blackmail and pay off our government officials. And the banks control the currencies and economy. The government is at the mercy of the banks. The banks hold all the cards.
Whatever is going to happen is all decided by the banks. They control the economies of the world.
