adrian douglas has posted his important essay "pirates of the comex" in the clear, so here is the link:

To date regulators have failed to rein in any financial fraud before it was too late.
Even when regulators were handed all the facts of the Madoff Ponzi scheme they
failed to take action. I doubt the suppression of precious metal prices will be any
different. The key is to take action yourself and not hold your breath the
regulators will stop this fraud. The Pirates prey on investors who are over
leveraged. Investors should buy and hold physical gold and silver, and investors
on the COMEX should take delivery of their contracts. Those reckless pirates,
who have sold promises that they can not deliver upon, will be hoisted on their
own petard; the leverage they have used for so long against investors will seal
their own demise.
