With great pride and release from those days of aWaiting Gata Nut News announces that the days of metastases for the gold market will cease aSoon. GATA, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee has finally obtained the recognition of a growing 500 lb gorilla in Europe, Asia and Africa. In the coming months the usa mainstream press will discover a GATA like King Kong atop of high structures. GNN has intercepted Bill talking about the GATA he & 2 others started. [start.] GATA - The Smoking Gun And The New Treasury Secretary ... James Turk established from publicly available reports prepared by the Federal Reserve that there has been movement in the weight of gold held as a component of the US Reserve Assets. These changes in the weight of gold result from activity of the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and they conclusively demonstrate that the ESF has been intervening in the Gold market at least since 1996. For the past year, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee has sought clarification from the U.S. Treasury about the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) gold involvement. It is most likely that Paul H. O'Neill, Alcoa Chairman of the Board, will be confirmed as the new Treasury Secretary in a few weeks. It will be up to both he and President Elect Bush whether this ESF charade continues on, or is called to a halt. ... Reg Howe is spending all his time on the Complaint, Chris Powell is just swamped with GATA work and I am preparing for our trip to South Africa, GATA would appreciate it, in light of James Turk's revelations, if you would contact your Congressman and Senators and have them ask Paul O'Neill the following: 1) Why is the ESF intervening... 2) Under what authority... 3) What is the size... 4) What is the size of the ESF's gross derivative 5) What is the total... 6) What is the total volume... 7) At any time... 8) What is the... 9) What is the total weight... 10) Has the ESF granted... I will put this out again after O'Neill's confirmation, but some of you might want to get going with it right away over the holidays. The cumulative effort of GATA supporters around the world is beginning to really pay off. There will be several major Howe/GATA stories after the first of the year emanating from prestigious foreign newspapers. The mainstream U.S. press will not be able to ignore Reg Howe's momentous Complaint for much longer. Bill Murphy Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.(GATA)gata.org [end.]
