Hello Ron. This is taken from the Dutch Central Bank thread I think you need to read it. To: Peter Singleton (3291 ) From: Kaena Wednesday, Feb 3 1999 4:50AM ET Reply # of 3297 All Kidding Aside- Some of US guys play for keeps. Intimidation or the threat thereof isn't a consideration for those with a purpose. Bill seems quite capable of handling his own. As a former F-105 pilot in Nam, we did just that-play for keeps. Many Thunderchief pilots did not return from Nam to tell the tale. Some were captured. But we believed in our country and leadership at that time. 32 years later to the present is a different story. I find myself thoroughly disgusted with the President, Bill Clinton, and his corrupt appointed cronies. I have absolutely no respect for the man. He by example is leading this nation down into the pits. It's time a lot more of us take action to stem the corruption. Be careful? Of what?- we have much more to lose than our personal safety, our freedom, by being silenced from fears of retribution by the powers that be. It's really all one can do in this world to stand up for what is right. In looking back, I would have done things differently, but at the time I took what I believed to be the right course of action. Bill is doing what is right however practical or impractical one may believe. But it starts with one individual to get the ball rolling. Those of us who believe that gold is a vital instrument in keeping in tact the integrity of our hard earned money find Bill's efforts highly commendable and courageous. Keep up the excellent effort, Bill. You're in good company. We support you 100%. This is still America you know!

Ron <<Hopefully he'll succeed, and for that to happen, he has to maintain pressure on gold>> I've never really bought into this stuff - its interesting to me that you seem to. I don't think CBs lease gold to keep the price down (how dumb can they be since they hold the stuff?) but rather to get some interest, without having to sell. Nor do I think they lease for reasons of currency value. Some countries like Canada have sold gold for similar reasons - i.e. to replace it with bonds which pay interest - whether this policy has had anything to do with the pitiful state of the $Can, and $Aus, is open to debate - but I don't think the CBs started this policy because they wanted a weak currency. As for IMF sales they have been good for gold in the past - buyers just couldn't get enough - as I've said many times. dd
