@convoy63, I thought I had quite clearly stated that I did not believe this to be a conspiracy. In both Peter Schiff's case and our own, I believe this to be just the normal flow of events with the press and the regulating parties acting in their own self-interest without regard to collateral damage.
Your answer implies that I called this a conspiracy.
But hey, all good, I'm quite used to this sort of argumentation from your side of the aisle.
