I believe they COULD GET CONTROL if they wanted to. How,good question. Could they,a good question also. It seems I heard of the CIA operating some companies in a documentary somewhere, perhaps that's where this wild scheme found it's beginnings in my head. Due to my lack of knowledge, I'm left with a lot of questions, this forum helps me to learn. When Mulrooney and Bush joined the board of Barrick, even with my lack of industry knowledge, it made be sit up straight. Quite a scoop for Barrick, interesting, why?, Mulrooney sure, but Bush? what other companies does he sit on the board. Does that seem normal to you, or is it a red flag? Could some organization of the government operate companies off shore, secretly, enough to gain control over an operation the size of Barrick? Especially, if it would allow the company to benefit from it? Could a government through persuasion, either through a demand on the company "for the public good" or in the form of implied financial threats, make them do the bidding of a government or group of governments. I suppose so, companies and their management have worked for governments before, both during the WORLD WAR and the cold war. It seems they were so wise, too wise, in hedging and selling forward (if that's the correct terms) while it looked like demand would be growing faster than production pre-asian crisis. Were they smart enough to know the price of gold was going to fall to the extent it did? If their was no talk of conspiracy in the gold market, one could disregard these flags, but because there is so much smoke, it seems like a wise move for conspirators to infiltrate a company so predominate and trend setting in the industry. If it was a novel we were writing, would we not include a company and the characters we see, on the board, in the plot? It's interesting, that we hear recurring talk here all the time, of taking possession of your physical, and the latent fear of the government seizing the mines and gold held in the country by its citizens,(IN A CRISIS). We should include in the novels plot, the fact, THAT GOVERNMENT CLANDESTINE CONTROL OF A MAJOR GOLD PRODUCER SUCH AS BARRICK, ( which is continuing to buy up large gold properties, at dirt cheap prices)MAY IN FACT BE THE NATIONALIZATION OF WORLD GOLD RESOURCE ASSETS BY THE GOVERNMENT.It could already have the control of a lot of future gold production, just in case the shit hits the fan, and the dollar becomes toilet paper. Wouldn't that be a joke on all of us.???? MIKE,

PREVIEW - PUBLIC To: DoubleD From: m.philli Thursday, Sep 2 1999 5:29PM EST -Preview- HOW? A "PLAY" ON GOLD scripted by Fantasy Island Possibilities disclaimer: this is of course only a "play" and could never happen and would have no relation to any persons or entity's in existence ACT #1 SCENE#1 BULLON BANK BAR ........ "Gentlemen, consider this, the kids running the Central Banks find Gold to be a real pain in their derrieres. They have to be concerned about it all the time, while they go about flooding the world with their paper. If they could get it out of the picture ,they could, as long as they act in unison ,print all the money they want. Also, they think they should be making money on their Gold assets and are willing to lease all anybody wants at very,very attractive rates. I suggest, we take advantage of these kids, lease their GOLD, sell it, and invest the profits. We'll refer to it as the GOLD CARRY TRADE. As the gold floods the market, we'll be insured of a great profit on our investments and capital gains if we ever have to buy it back at lower prices. (J.P. RISES OUT OF HIS CHAIR) "Great idea G.S., profits there for sure. I have one problem. I'm on the board of T.H. .A large part of our assets are held in a major gold stock B.G. were looking at mobilizing those assets to fund a huge real estate expansion program. If we proceed with the Gold Carry Trade, gold falls and along with it the market value of our B.G. assets." (G.S. RESPONDS) "No problem J.P., just go to the board of T.H. tell them what we intend to do, and suggest they do the same with B.G.. This will secure their asset value of B.G. shares. Since T.H. has the largest block of B.G. shares and can control policy, they should have no problem convincing B.G.'S board that they should institute a hedgeing program. This will in fact help us by lowering the price of spot gold, instill fear in the other producers allowing us to lean on them to do the same. B.G. will also have the cash and opportunity to acquire great properties at dirt cheap prices. I see no problem there. I'll tell you what, tell T.H. we'll help them get very reasonable financing for their expansion if they will put up their B.G shares for collateral as convertible debt. Say 30 million, to insure their control of B.G's board. We will then help them sell say 28 million B.G. shares through installments, make 6 million outright sales. If we get control of the 6 million B.G shares, we can use them to play the gold stock index, prevent any divergence and make a lot of dough trading opposite to our comex trades. Hell, we can confuse the whole gold market so much, it'll make no sense at all, and demoralize it completely. Anyway go over to P.M. AND B.M and run it buy them. We might be able to help them out in T.H's expansion, not only through reasonable financing, but aiding them in insuring some long term leases for their office buildings. We have friends in government and with their expansion in the financial centres and Washington D.C. ,good lease rates and high occupancy on long term leases, will insure their growth and expansion. end of scene one To make changes, use the Back button on your browser, or press "Edit" Words that might be incorrectly spelled are highlighted in red.
