Subj: GATA - James Turk to Present at GATA AFRICA GOLD SUMMIT Date: 3/9/01 From: LePatron@LeMetropoleCafe.com To: dougak@Earth2.com
Le Metropole Members,
The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee is pleased to announce that James Turk will be one of the speakers at the GATA AFRICA GOLD SUMMIT in Durban, South Africa on May 10, 2001.
The summit will be held jointly at the Hilton Hotel in Durban and the Durban Conference Center.
James joins Reg Howe, Frank Veneroso and I as presenters.
Announcements will be made in the near future regarding other speakers.
Invitations will go out in 10 days to African mining ministers, gold producers, South African political, business and mining union leaders, and the world press.
The agenda will be to expose the manipulation of the gold market and to offer an "action plan" to the attendees.
James Turk's 'Smoking Gun' essay was included in the material that I passed out during my journey through South Africa and was also sent to Lawrence Lindsey, Economic Advisor to the President. That "material" is what prompted a response to GATA by Mr. Lindsey.
