This GATA article is interesting because it shows how little the world understands about what Central Banks are really up to. The Russian bank official cited in this article and the speech he gave is eye-opening stuff. What a world we live in!

Finally, here is the standard argument for hyper-inflation, with a non-standard reason - the incredible shrinking of money supply that started in 2009. John Williams of Shadowstats is the guy who tracks real inflation vs. government fictions. The point is that this indicator - shrinking money supply - is a sure sign of the second dip now being revealed. We’ll see, but this guy is highly respected. Also note the inflation-adjusted peak numbers for gold and silver, using both current CPI inflation and real inflation.
