A Gata Grape Vines Vintage Squeeze: "Believe it, it really is true."

After reading this at gata bill's cafe, i thought "no way."

Just pulling my leg, and if it was true, then how did it happen?

We all know the usa political system has 98% of itself up itself
where the sun does not shine, so finding examples is as easy as
placing a map of the usa government on the wall and letting a monkey
stick a pin, and we will find it 98 out of 100 pin sticks.

Finding waste, corruption and just plain old fashion stupid behavior
in any nook & cranny of this usa federal structure is so much expected
that if we find TruTh & Honestly we stop in out tracks and take in a
deep breath and do a Duck Test and expect a clown to drop out of the sky,
and say "Sorry, it really ain't so, just a mistake."

ok, someone at gata bill's cafe found such a thing, and it was at
that already acknowledged Big Bad Evil Stupid place where finding
those two good qualities attributes was not expected in the extreme,
yes folks i'm talking US Treasury here.

Thats hard to take in, so yes i really doubted it.

Then i thought, being dumb and stupid does at times have an upside,
yes its possible that they did not have this little corner covered
and just like when that "Will the real... please stand up." type t.v. show
when someone reclassified that incorrectly classified gold at that
West Point place to what it really was, then yes someone forgot
to make sure all nooks and crannies were covered with the toilet paper
so that truth & honestly did not touch anyplace, but it did.

Now we have another example, but its not a Smoking Gun
like the Deep Stupid re-name, but just a little crack where truth
and honest still has a tiny place to continue its little existance
at the US Treasury.

Lets all join in here and see if we can increase its size,
not that it will help gata bill, but just for the fun of it as in
like a contest to see how long it takes until it is squashed
like a gold bug.

Chris,

FYI

I don't know if you are aware of the publicity that GATA and Reg Howe
have received on the US Treasury web site.

The following is a URL that will take you to their web page.

treas.gov

They deny any involvement in manipulation.....

Good grief! & Good heads up Brian. Thanks

Here are a couple of questions for the Treasury.

If enough Cafe members send these questions in to the Treasury,
it will make their most asked questions list for sure.

Whether we get an answer, it is hard to say.

Why not give it a go?

Can't make it any easier for you.

Just go to their website and submit, or ask your members
of Congress to submit directly to Treasury Secretary O'Neill.

Questions:

1.How is it possible that the Treasury gold is 100% U.S. owned
when the Federal Reserve's transcripts reveal that long dated gold swaps are in play?

2.Isn't it true that the holder of an SDR, or an SDR Certificate,
has an unconditional right to draw (if they wish) physical gold
from other IMF members?
