there is an old saying that before the roof falls in, we will see cracks in the plaster. with each month we're seeing more cracks. the banksters are pulling out all of the stops to keep the comes from defaulting. the mint is running flat out, and still can't keep up with demand for coins. now jim willie reports that the germans want their gold back:

Still, despite all the harmful, unregulated, and relentless pressure put on precious metals, their prices refuse to be pushed down. The gap between the physical gold price and paper COMEX price continues to widen. The story behind the scenes that captured my attention centered on German demands to return all their gold bullion held in custodial accounts on US soil. The deep source contact said something like, “the German demand is making the US bank nazis sweat bullets. Pressure on COMEX will get much worse.” Expect even more pressure on the June gold contract than was seen with the March gold contract, as far as delivery default is concerned. Deutsche Bank saved the COMEX bacon with a last minute 850,000 ounce delivery, courtesy of the Euro Central Bank at the eleventh hour.
