It's hard work getting politicians and big entities to acknowledge the existence of the real world. They live by their own rules and generally regard us as ignorant, laughable "rubes" that inconveniently need to be suckered over and over with each new election cycle.
Prominent among these large entities are governments and media empires. Forbes magazine is an icon of this high-floating realm of existence, having been published for many years by jet-setting plutocrat Malcolm Forbes. It's not every day that such a periodical suddenly embraces reality and abandons political correctness. When it does, it's fleeting -- but scrumptious:

Transacting in Gold Can Shaft The IRS
"Shaft the IRS"? I just typed it and I'm looking at the phrase again, but still can't believe it. What's next, the New York Times coming out for "family values" and demanding that Hollywood and Washington be bulldozed into their respective oceans?
Can all the good news in this piece be real? Are we so ready to just go back to real money -- is the light so green as they say? Sure, states pass nice laws the people are dying to have, but do they actually stand by them if they conflict with the agenda of the Permanent Regime in Washington?
From another angle, Forbes has to know that gold bugs are considered dangerous wacko "terr'ists" now, crazies "clinging to guns or religion" in the contemptuous words of Pretendent Obama. Forbes mag is for millionaires and billionaires, and people straining to reach that level of social, financial nirvana. The plutocrats are the ones whose daily rounds of activity include suppressing the price of gold and demonizing its defenders.
No, Ron Paul hasn't taken over as editor. I just checked, it's still Malcolm Forbes' horrible neocon son Steve. And what do you know, Julian Assange is the cover story of the 2011 sample issue Wikipedia shows.
