Tom welcomes Chris Powell, Secretary, and Treasurer of GATA, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, to the show. Chris explains the reasons why gold is manipulated since governments want to control and monopolize currencies. Gold is an independent global reserve system, and it acts as a competitor to government monetary issuance. Central Banks for the past half-century have strived to control the gold price. Control of gold means the power to handle all the values of capital, goods, and services worldwide. Gold swaps and leasing have enabled central banks to create a vast imaginary supply of gold. Most of the "gold" the investment community owns either doesn't exist or is oversubscribed. If the market understood central banker actions in the gold market, the valuations would have to change. The question is, who owns the gold and how much do they have? Chris discusses a commodity hearing with Jeff Christian where he estimated the leverage in the gold market was nearly 100 to 1. India estimated the leverage at 92 to 1. This ratio indicates that there are numerous paper claims to that metal for every ounce in a vault. He explains the closing of the gold window in 1971 and possible intents for creating gold futures markets. That intention being to scare investors away from gold. Most large countries understand the scheme, but most investors remain unaware. Much of the world is not thrilled with the US dollar system since it controls most value today and is the primary driver for US imperialism worldwide. Chris outlines the various uses for silver and why it's also an industrial metal. Silver could become the kryptonite to central bankers and governments because it’s widely held. He argues that gold price suppression is used to control interest rates. Ordinarily, there are inverse relationships between rates and gold, and in the past, the gold carry trade acted as just such a mechanism of yield curve control.

This week, we’re talking about cases profiled by America’s Most Wanted. Kristin starts us off with the story of David James Roberts -- the first fugitive featured in the pilot episode of America’s Most Wanted. Coincidentally, he was also the first fugitive ever captured thanks to America’s Most Wanted.  David James Roberts was a terrible dude. He murdered a husband and wife, set their house on fire, and left their infant to die in the home. When he was out on bond, he raped a woman twice, locked her in the trunk of her car, then set her infant son out to die in an Indiana winter. Juries were horrified by what they heard. He was ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison. But a few years later, he escaped. Then Brandi tells us about the murder of Ashley Peoples. Ashley was just 22. She was hard working and responsible. So when she suddenly stopped returning her mother’s phone calls and didn’t show up for work, her friends and family knew something was up. Suspicion quickly turned to a man named Darryl Crenshaw. News outlets refer to him as Ashley’s boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, but her family says either term is too strong. He was just a guy she’d seen a few times, and didn’t want to see again.   And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Top 10 America’s Most Wanted Captures,” by Claire Suddath for Time Magazine “Episode 1: Show About Fugitives Leads to Arrest,” by Christopher Drew, Chicago Tribune “David James Roberts,” Murderpedia “Gasoline can presented as murder link,” The Daily Journal “Formidable armchair posse ropes in ‘America’s Most Wanted,” by Peter Genovese for The Central New Jersey Home News “Angola jury convicts Roberts of murder,” The Daily Journal “Testifies in murder-rape case: Woman identifies suspect,” The Daily Journal “Jury finds Roberts guilty,” The Daily Journal In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “'He didn't have to kill her' Parents of Ashley Peoples talk about their ordeal and justice in the aftermath of her murder” by Laura F.
