"<<Again, why does the US government REFUSE to assay, inventory, and audit the gold reserves of this nation - her people?> That's another good one. Who is GATA that the US government has to answer to them! I'd listen to a skunk before I'd listen to GATA." Many in the US population have been requesting a full audit & inventory of the US gold reserves for 30 Years before GATA ever existed! All other items owned by the US government, raw land, silver, oil, wheat, foreign currencies, EVERYTHING else, is subject to inventory & audit. Were there nothing to hide they would not continue to stonewall - Would it make you feel better to know it may not have started with this administration?(I'm near sure it didn't). "<Why ARE there NO restrictions placed on investment positions of IMF directors?> Do you have proof that the IMF Directors were short gold? Cut the GATA hype and BS. Just answer yes or no." This isn't GATA, which started the demand for a greater Financial Transparency in the IMF & their directors! When the IMF directors REFUSE to allow their portfolios to have any oversight or even allow the the common use of the common Blind Trust, this is crooked! The fact Comdesseus would not even return phone calls or letters regarding disclosure of his personal investments to a US Congressman is a matter of recent record.(One of Congressman Ron Paul's News Letters I published to this thread quite a long time ago). Again, If they have nothing to hide, why will they not even reply? All I need prove is that this government, the IMF , and several other governmental or pseudo governmental agencies REFUSE to operate under EITHER transparent or blind trust guidelines. This alone is proof of a great & massive problem.
