I just took a bunch of gold and silver and used a hammer to hammer it all really flat. Hence I manipulated it. There. I win!
You'll find that gold is easier to manipulate than silver. Been done since the time of Exodus:
And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work. Exodus 39:3 KJV
This one just came out and talks about the move away from the dollar around the 25-30 minute mark.
Ok listened to it, I don't like listening to Chris Martenson because it is so depressing.
The guest brings up something similar to the Zero Hedge link that you posted, about the cycles in reserve currencies. I could see that it might shift, and some transactions are going to get done without the dollar.
But I just don't see the dollar disappearing as a reserve currency, just because the other countries are in worse shape.
Again I see the biggest factors as demographics and rebalancing.
But while we are on the subject what is the best way to go about buying silver or gold. I hear that selling and buying you can get screwed with various aspects of the process?

Notice he uses the word confidence?
Yea if the Ruble or the Yuan get backed by gold it will be a game changer.

Thought experiment:
Would this development force the US to go back to the gold standard?

Last thing they would want if they have lease or sold all their gold- the US has placed all its eggs in the petro dollar standard

Doesn't have much to do with want. IMO if the Ruble or Yuan are backed by gold they will quickly replace the dollar as the reserve currency as long as they can foment enough confidence. After all they are Communist countries. Of course these days it could be argued so is the US?
So you are saying that the US does not Have the gold that is indicated in your chart? That is Big Time theft, if that is the case? I mean heads Have to Roll.

That is not my suspicion but the suspicion of many. There was even a history channel program on how the US may no longer have any gold left. Also covers naked short selling:

In my gold and silver manipulation series I cover the practice of central bank "leasing" gold to satisfy physical delivery to suppress the price
Through such leasing arrangements physical gold is made available for delivery in amounts that would not be otherwise available at the existing prices. Market purchases for large amounts of physical bullion would normally increase the price, but leasing allows the existing gold held by the bullion banks to be resold without having to purchase additional bullion to satisfy the delivery requirement. Thus, through leasing, gold can be sold to lower the price or used to satisfy large buy orders such that the price does not rise.
Is the Gold All Gone?
Of course, when gold is leased to satisfy physical delivery, it no longer exists in the account from which it was borrowed. In the West Sells Paper Gold While The East Buys Physical Gold we noted the trend towards physical gold heading from west to east.
BTW- the inability of the Fed to deliver the German's gold -first saying it would take 8 years then finally having the german's call off the request is very close to circumstantial evidence being proof that the US doesn't have it to give back
Germany’s Gold Repatriation Request
In January 2013, Germany requested the return of part of the physical gold it held on deposit at the Federal Reserve in New York and in Paris at France’s Central Bank, citing the need to have the gold close to hand in the case of a currency crisis.
The German gold repatriation request and subsequent events raised two issues – did the Fed still have Germany’s gold and was Germany losing confidence in the European Monetary Union and the Euro?
Germany’s requested anticipated a repatriation of a total of 674 tons of gold from the Fed and the French Central Bank. The Fed informed Germany that they could not inspect their gold and that their gold would be delivered over a period of 8 years, raising eyebrows why it would take so long to make the requested repatriation.
A year after the original request Zero Hedge reported that Germany had received just 37 tons, or about 5% of the 674 tons requested. Curiously, only five tons were delivered by the Fed with the other 32 tons coming from Paris. The five tons of gold delivered to Germany were different gold bars than the ones that Germany had placed on deposit with the Fed a few decades earlier.
The circumstances surrounding Germany’s gold repatriation request caused many to question whether the Fed indeed still held ANY of Germany’s gold.

Who cares. Again, treasuries are the new gold. Gold is irrelevant. Now that may allow the banksters to screw main street, but that is reality. Gold is irrelevant.
They wish to make it so
But china and russia keep buying gold and dumping treasuries

Paul Craig Roberts on gold price manipulation:
July 16, 2014. "The first two days this week gold was subjected to a series of computer HFT-driven “flash crashes†that were aimed at cooling off the big move higher gold has made since the beginning of June. During this move higher, the hedge funds, who typically “chase†the momentum of gold up or down, built up hefty long positions in gold futures over the last 6 weeks. In order to disrupt the upward momentum in the price of gold, the bullion banks short gold in the futures market by dumping large contracts that drive down the price and make money for the banks in the process."
