OT. A WALL OF DECEPTION "The Lying Comes From The Top" Published in the Dec. 6, 1999 issue of The Washington Weekly As the saying goes, "If it's freedom of the press you want, you had better own a press." ..." According to another Judicial Watch press release, the organization, which describes itself as an "anti-government corruption watchdog public interest group, "presently has 43 lawsuits pending against Clinton "and other corrupt government officials." The group is presently expanding its staff of more than 30 employees and plans to open offices in the Southwest and Midweast. It already has a West Coast office."... ..." But of course. If one is to understand the mainstream media the first thing to realize is that they are not interested in reporting news as such. To a mainstream journalist news is just the raw material to be shaped and molded into a vehicle suitable for promoting the hidden agenda of the left-liberal culture that dominates the media in this country. Thus, even though you have paid hard cash for a newspaper or a magazine, you are not to know about certain things. You are supposed to know only what the guiding savants of the regnant liberal autocracy want you to know. They are much better equipped to dictate what we should think than we are by reason of the god-like majesty of their omniscience."... Full story >>> federal.com

Dutch cen bank to keep dates of gold sales secret AMSTERDAM, Dec 6 (Reuters) - The Dutch Central Bank said on Monday the exact dates of its sales of 300 tonnes of gold over five years would not be announced in advance. ``We will not comment on exactly the way or when we are going to sell precisely. When the sales have taken place, you can easily see it from the weekly financial statement of the Dutch Central Bank or from the ECB,' spokesman Olaf Sleijpen told Reuters. One reason for not informing the market in advance was to lessen the impact of the sales, in contrast to the public auction system the Bank of England was using for its sales, he added. The Dutch central bank put out a statement saying the sale, to be handled by the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland, was in line with an agreement in September by 15 central banks to limit gold sales to 2,000 tonnes over the coming five years and about 400 tonnes annually. Sleijpen declined to say if the bank, which also sold 300 tonnes of gold in 1996, would sell additional bullion after the five year period. The statement said 100 tonnes of the Dutch gold sales would take place in the first year, but Sleijpen said it had not been decided the breakdown of the additional 200 tonnes over the next four years. He said the Dutch central bank decided last year, in connection with Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) by European states, to hand over five billion guilders ($2.28 billion) of its reserves to the Dutch government. The gold sales were decided in principle last year to replenish those reserves but the details were only agreed recently, Sleijpen said.
