The fact is that voiding deflation has become paramount to banksters and a much more pressing issue to central banksters. To me the world is now rapidly heading into deflation. Zero rates are symptomatic of deflation. Negative rates even more so. So are the collapse of oil and commodity prices. Gold is showing that. Gold can't think. It is just a metal that represents the entire commodity sector. To me there are many foreboding signs of deflation, ignore them at your peril will be costly. Deflation is taking hold, it will hobble highly indebted, leveraged economies, tears it apart and destroys it much like what happened in the 1930's. But during that time people were more self sufficient. Now too many people live on top of each other and far away from the supply of basics. These people will become the walking dead. I don't mind the walking dead eating Jamie Dimon or Lloyd Blankfein, but I don't want to be eaten me. Central banksters have gone too far in their misguided efforts to support the value of debt that are their assets. Mankind simply can not borrow our way out of fiat debt. Fiat debt must be destroyed for the real economy to grow. We can't have an economy of leveraged debt only. Man can't use debt as basics that we need. You can't eat debt as food.
