You've been round long enough to know what's going on mate. The "pricks" are the banksters and the most obvious reason is to save the USD from wiping the bottom of the toilet bowl (which we all know is going to happen eventually). Here, this shows the USD has only got ~2% of purchasing power left (measured against gold) since Nixon broke the gold link in 1971....
With everything going on in the world, who else (in their right mind) would be selling gold/silver right now to the extent of dropping the spot price by the amounts shown in my previous post? This does a good job of explaining what the "pricks" get up to and how they run the game...
Good always overcomes evil in the end ... and gold is good!
And the next consideration for why gold is being sold off to reduce the spot price against the USD is ... the current geopolitical status. But let's not go there, unchallenged Genocide vs the USD vs Gold speaks for itself!
