" If you go back and look at the chart of the December jobs day around Dec 6-7, the gold selling was almost identical to today's"

With the difference that silver went down today twice as much as in December, which is more than criminal. More than 7% down on the day.

It comes close to that notorious day in October 2008, when silver went down 20% in 3 hours.

When the Mafia is short of something, they just take it no matter how.
