GATA appeals Fed's denial of access to gold records
By: Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer, GATA
In response to our request for access to documents involving gold swaps and the U.S. gold reserve, the Federal Reserve Board has provided GATA about 900 pages that are nearly all just copies of correspondence from the public to the Fed. As might be expected, the only documents that seem as if they might have useful information have been withheld from us or redacted into meaninglessness.

The 'strong dollar' policy was gold price suppression
By: Bill Murphy, Chairman, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
GATA has been working for nine years to expose the manipulation of the gold market by a very cunning Gold Cartel, but one who is now on the ropes. Nonetheless, over a short period of time, they can make life very miserable for our gold/silver camp, as they did a few weeks ago with their orchestrated raid on both markets.

Silver and gold guarantee freedom
By: Edwin Vieira Jr
Silver and gold are not merely valuable commodities, investments, and media of exchange. More importantly, they are key "checks and balances" in America's legal and political institutions.

Is gold going east to keep oil principalities in line?
By: Chris Powell, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Tt may be hard not to wonder if the oil states have not made a deal with the United States to continue for another two or three years their cooperation with the U.S. scheme of rigging the currency and gold markets in exchange for whatever gold is to be unloaded in the name of making the IMF solvent -- hard not to wonder whether this is not all part of an orderly hedging of the oil world's dollar exposure.

Mobilization of IMF gold just a sign of central bank desperation
By: Chris Powell, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Before panicking about the Reuters story appended here, reporting that the G7 conference in Tokyo likes the idea that the International Monetary Fund should raise money for itself by selling some of its gold reserves, consider a few things.

Liberty Dollar is Back in Business
By: Chris Powell, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Despite the FBI's raid on its offices in Indiana and mint in Idaho and the seizure of its inventory seven weeks ago, Liberty Dollar is back in business, taking orders for 2008-dated medallions and promising delivery around the end of this month.

Mistakenly disclosed affidavit outlines case against Liberty Dollar
By: CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer Gold Anti-Trust Action Committe Inc.
This case will be important for its bearing on constitutional law and individual rights to possess and trade in gold, silver, and copper, even as it may turn on the issue of likeness. Liberty Dollar might be in a stronger position if it did not use the word "dollar" or the dollar sign on its medallions and instead denominated its medallions only by weight in metal. Still, it is hard to see how people could be deceived into thinking that the Liberty Dollar products are issued by the government and are legal tender "for all debts, public and private," rather than devices for barter.

Feds raid Liberty Dollar and seize and freeze everything
By: Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer, GATA
The Liberty Dollar organization announced this morning, via the letter appended here, that federal agents today raised its offices in Evansville, Indiana, and confiscated all its property and equipment. This moves seems extraordinarily bold considering that Liberty Dollar's right to operate already was being litigated in federal court.

Chris Powell: Markets, or just interventions?
By: Chris Powell
Ever since the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was founded in 1999 to expose manipulation of the gold market, we have been called "conspiracy nuts." We don't mind the "nuts" part, but we're actually public record nuts. For the scheme to suppress the price of gold is increasingly a matter of ordinary public record.

Treasury claims power to seize gold and silver -- and everything else
By: Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer, GATA
Because of recent inquiries to GATA about the possibility of an attempt by the U.S. Government to confiscate privately held gold and silver bullion and coins and shares in companies mining the precious metals, we're republishing here the correspondence between GATA and the U.S. Treasury Department on the subject in 2005.

Barrick, agent of the central banks, affects to denounce one of them
By: Chris Powell, GATA
Wilkins neglects to mention that while the Bank of England was selling its gold, Barrick was borrowing hundreds of tonnes of central bank gold and selling them short into the market, assured that the company need not repay the gold for 15 years or more, if ever. (That is, the central bank gold loaned to Barrick was more of a gift than a loan -- provided that Barrick used the gift to do exactly what its CEO now condemns the Bank of England for doing, destroying the gold mining industry.)

Gold and silver bugs complain a lot, and rightly, but they're winning
By: CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer Gold Anti-Trust Action Committe Inc.
Dishoarding gold and backstopping the gold derivatives sold by the investment houses, the central banks are buying time -- but they are buying it dearly, with their most precious asset, selling it at bargain prices. Selling their gold, the central banks are purchasing confidence in the illusions of their own currencies, this confidence being more vital to them than their gold, since, for the moment, their currencies are valued much more than their gold. But the balance is shifting, and this is visible to anyone who wants to see it.

Blanchard & Co. research note: European central bank gold sales declining
By: Neal R. Ryan
The European Central Bank system today updated gold sales for the past week. There was a half tonne in sales -- 16,000 ounces of gold. I expect that at some point we'll see a pickup in selling by the central banks, but we're trending even lower in terms of weekly sales.

Blanchard research note: Why it's time to load up on gold
By: Neal R. Ryan
The dollar is cracking. The end of the easy money via the yen carry trade, which we forecast a few weeks ago, seems to be taking place. It is decimating the Chinese stock market and now is taking its toll on the U.S. stock market. For a few reasons this is all very good for precious metals investors, though it might not seem that way right now, since everything is out in the yard like a garage sale.

You can know a few things, or you can have technical analysis
By: Chris Powell, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Oh, we may speculate in the markets from time to time -- like every 20 minutes or so, or when our Viagra prescriptions run out -- but we figure that the exchange rates of the dollar and all the currencies and the prices of what Mike Bolser calls strategic commodities are not the results of the collective decisions of masses of traders in the futures pits but rather the results of entirely POLITICAL decisions made by the elites in chancelleries around the world. Those elites decide how much more paper and electronic digits and unfulfillable promises and real commodities will be pumped into the futures pits, whereupon the futures pits will pretend to determine prices.

Richard Russell agrees with GATA: Central banks rig gold

Nine years after LeMetropoleCafe.com proprietor Bill Murphy, soon to start the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, started screaming that the price of gold was being suppressed by collusion on the commodities exchanges, the king of technical analysis of the markets and the most venerable of U.S. financial letter writers, Richard Russell, has fully concurred.

Blanchard & Co. research note: IMF can't scare gold anymore
By: Neal R. Ryan
Gold is breaking out of a range between $640-650. We should see prices continue rising toward to the $680 range with little resistance and then need a new period of consolidation before setting off to challenge the May 2006 highs of $730.
