Here's the Canadian one, from a few months back.

And, it’s not an indication of inflation. It is the “manipulated” Consumer Price Index”. The trickle down effect of inflating the money supply on prices. Completely useless measure. Inflating the money supply in a debt based system is not M2, btw, but total debt: Federal, State and Local, Business and Consumer. Currently $80 trillion.

I’ll tell you a secret, everything is manipulated.

This was a secret?

Even most NPC know that

Just have to "adjust" it in a month or two (and no one will be paying attention)...

Gold is a good metric of real fiat inflation IMO
