Hard to prove that when the criminal is also the law. But then it might be more accurate to say that it is not hard to demostrate and provide with smoke and Duck Test results and just the plain reality of the abuse of wealth and power to cause obscene pain, suffering and death equal to any version of Hell one can imagine. Your outrage expressed in your comments of <<... I objected to the implied threat that if the company did not make a "donation" then the boycott would proceed - a method I find offensive... to solicit "contributions"... like extortion, to me.>> Repeat after me Bob, GATA War. War is hell, good verses evil, and you take is that GATA should play by the Boy Scouts Rules. But then if you do not acknowledge, like Ron Reece and Rarebird, an obligation to point out wrong and evil like longone Richard and those of the GATA camp with Bill Murphy at point, then so be it as history has many examples of evil having an easy time to inflict it's Hell on people when there were no folks like Richard and Bill. This focus of this thread is to monitor the price of gold, which translates into an examination of what decides who, how and where it trades. To you its all market forces like supply and demand and sales and speculation and business models. To me its 99% Good v Evil. Once again, what you base you understanding on comes from what information is available for you to see, and as I once said, that information available to you is manipulated by an evil agenda so that your opinions are controlled. doug
