The 'big' boys announced their exit over the last month or two with all those released reports to their 'large portfolio clients'.... like in govt., such news is hardly ever released without intent... another example is Former Fed Chairman Greenspan speaking of high possibility for recession, market decline etc since he left the position... central banks raising interest rates to combat 'inflation' ie. New Zealand the other day, which will push the USFed to do the same as a 'pass through effect' as global goods and services pass along their inflation to their clients, and th eFed has to raise rates to compete in the international market for investment in debt instruments... even though we can still 'fake it' awhile longer... weakness in US factories orders excluding the voliatile aircraft orders.
Add the simple facts in the declining housing industry which has been the main prop to the economy since 9-11... 25-35% in key markets... and it has been these key markets that have kept the others afloat... which is the nature of a 'capitalist system'... consumer confidence in it... which is in decline as will... and those auto industry layoffs are just getting started... won't finish till early next year.
Then add the continued release of the truth involving 9-11:

More and more are doing so as the fire gets closer to their own feet and the administration is willing to throw them out with the dirty bathwater.
Add the continued support in Congress for the administration's NWO policies in the world, especially the Middle East... as another flase flag op is planned for the USA perhaps after General Pace leaves office in September... as the key personnel have been put into place.

And none of this includes the 'earth changes'' that keep increasing like a pot on slow boil getting set to pop the lid.
Add the lawsuit to request Freedom of Information from the administration on the desposition of the federal gold accounts at Fort Know and elsewhere... not just the whereabouts and amount present, but the use in terms of approved manipulation in the international markets... some of which has been spoken of already. Gold might just be the last 'play' in international financial markets, but with all these markets manipulated so much, the largesse of the increased money supply (think inflation) is capital in serach of a place to land... safely, and finding near to none... and thereby further spooking the markets as those with plenty start running scared.
The question as those 'large portfolio reports' have spoken of is not if, but when this game is over.... and none of them have a good idea of what to do about it... except following the same as always, and that is increasingly showing less return on their investment... but in 'bad' times, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
In the end, the only real 'confirmation' we the public, will get is those we feel in our bones... intuition and instincts pushing us to follow the path of least resistance... which IMO, is to exit the market.. dollar included if you can.... gold is probably still the only and last game in town.... as it's hard to tell what Mother Nature has in store for us as well as our govt. 'leaders'.... in the end, it seems a question of 'who do you trust'?
