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.

The following is a URL that will take you to their web page.treas.gov They deny any involvement in manipulation..... Soldier from Spokane 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?
