As many of you recall, more than a year ago I wrote an article questioning what I felt to be exaggerated, baseless and sensationalist viewpoints and conclusions about the U.S. economy, gold and hyperinflation written by John Williams of Shadowstats.
The fact that I am the only person to have written articles criticizing and questioning gold hacks like Williams, Schiff and others like Meredith Whitney should tell you about the state of content floating out there; 99.99% of it is useless, generic BS at best, and dangerous BS at worst.
You might want to refresh your memory on the hatchet job I wrote on Williams.
To this day, NO ONE has ever even attempted to refute the claims and points made in that article.
Do you know why? Because THEY CAN'T.
The way con artists work is that when their snake oil pitch is exposed by someone who has the facts, rather than confront the individual, they run away and keep pitching their BS.
A few weeks after the article was published, among other responses I received the following email from Kitco’s Senior Gold Analyst, John Nadler.
Dear Mike,
I took the liberty of trying to contact you in the wake of reading your January 31st article on gold and John Williams.
If EVER there was a more cogent, cut-to-the-chase, honest, devastating article about EXACTLY what is going on out there in this industry at the moment, well, your article has to be IT.
Honestly, I am stunned at how well you seized on the situation, and could not be more in accord with what you wrote.
I will try to open people's eyes with your excellent analysis. Take it from someone who has been in this industry since 1977. You are SPOT ON. Kudos to you.
You might have heard that, based on MY commentaries at Kitco, I have become the whipping boy to the hypesters and to the radical extremist gold bugs.
Sincerely,
Jon Nadler
Senior Analyst
Kitco Metals Inc.

(for anyone who doubts me)
Think about it. A gold analyst who works for a gold company agrees with my points about gold and gold manipulation by gold bugs. I think that says it all.
By the way, I sent Mr. Nader a response reminding him that Kitco banned me from publishing on its site three years ago.
If you still have any doubts about who holds the leading track record on the economic collapse, I encourage you to take our $100,000 challenge.
When you look at other websites and fail to see my articles posted; when you read articles that reference clowns with terrible track records but with no mention of my accurate predictions, you will know that you are dealing with one of two types of individuals…an ignorant moron who gets his information from the media, or a crooked scumbag who is part of the plot to lure Main Street into the arms of charlatans, while making money selling gold ads, gold or both.
