"Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the central bankers I know don't even know they have gold in their vault. They don't spend one millisecond thinking about gold during the day. It's not on their agenda, so to think that they try to manipulate gold to suppress the gold price -- forget it. They don't even think about it."

Not since Robert Strange McNamara used the World Bank to steer funds backed by American taxpayers to the North Vietnamese has there been as outrageous a move as President Biden's decision to set aside billions of dollars to fund Afghanistan in the Taliban era. 

Mr. Biden's démarche, which involves a new Swiss-based entity called "The Afghan Fund," defies credulity by vowing to aid the Afghan people without propping up the Taliban regime.
