(GATA News) Ripped from the pages of "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand ... Hank Readon would not "play ball" with the government thugs. ... So the government thugs took his money and business. ... Song "...where have all the..." [wise/honest men/women] "...gone ?" ... As Richard on this thread has pointed out many times, what the hell has to happen before the citizens of the USA recognize that laws and policies are being passed and carried out by the elected officials of the people, not for the wishes and good intentions for those regular citizens who voted them in, but for the past money obtained to get elected(aka sell job & marketing), and now for the current money receiving to get reelected ? ... My[Dougak] opinion is that Martin Armstong does indeed have information that supports the views and case of GATA, but unfortunately for GATA Martin Armstong will not disclose any of it because in doing so he will have to support it with information that will be damaging to himself. As for his letter to GATA, to me its B.S. from a guilty person wanting to con the public that he is being treated unfairly. This person to me who has unfairly treated others. Just my speculation here, no facts. Subj: An Extraordinary Letter From Martin Armstong to GATA Date: 1/7/00 9:48:26 AM EST From: LePatron@LeMetropoleCafe.com To: dougak Le Metropole members, Martin Armstrong wrote an extraordinary letter to Chris Powell, GATA Treasurer/Secretary, and it is served for you at The Dos Passos Table. In my last Midas commentary, I reprinted a post at the Kitco site about the Armstrong affair. In that commentary, I confirmed (from personal knowledge) a Phibro, Warren Buffet, U.S. government silver story that was only known by a very few people. Certainly, it was not known outside of a very select circle. That is why I was all over it. One had to ask if that was true, was the rest of what Martin Armstrong's supporters had to say, true also? Long time Cafe members have heard me use the terms "The People's Republic of America" "The United States of China" when it comes to the mainstream U.S. press handling of opposing the interests of the big money N.Y. banking and investment house crowd. As you all know, Martin Armstrong and I have had our professional differences and have expressed them about publicly. It may turn out that we have much more in common than either ofus could have ever imagined. You will not want to miss what he has to say. [START] "Keep in mind one thing. If the government is intent upon silencing you, you suddenly find that they are no better than Russia. They need no proof. They strip you of your assets to prevent you from defending yourself. They attack and threaten you attorneys with jail for contempt and try to take back any money they have already spent even though it was unfrozen by a judge previously. They even threaten your family, your employees and your friends. The US has become no better than Russia. This is what America is now all about."
