THC, I would like to remind you the original 6 UNANSWERED Qs came from
6 different potential funding sources, THROUGH me.

Would you call UPI's Helen UPI "antagonistic" b/c she asks Pres. C tough Qs
from her legendary perch on the front row of the press corp at public press conferences?

SI's a public forum. Bill came here, first to hang out, then to
solicit paid subscriptions, and now solicits money and support from injured
goldbugs.

How can asking ANYone to declare their organizational structure,
their fund raising goals,
the attorney fee's,
the plans for fiscal reporting,
ad nauseum be considered "antagonistic?"
They are just questions.
LEGIT Questions.
Questions asked by hundreds who read ANYTHING about GATA.
And if he thinks THOSE questions are tough, wait until whoever he's
planning on messing with in Congress has their "aides" look into
Bill's organization, funding, and background.

The legit questions "list", STILL UNANSWERED,
has just gotten longer, as more folks start asking more questions.
And I've even come up with a few of my own, like who are these
associates of Bill's?

Those questions don't threaten United Way,
Democrats for a Free America
Phyllis Schafly
National Organization for Women,
March of Dimes,
American Diabetes Association,
Boy Scouts / Girl Scouts / Campfire Girls of America
or anyone else who has a solid organization,
a well, thought-out goal,
solid financial backing.

This thing is so "back o'the cocktail napkin's doodlings" it is pathetic.

The only thing "antagonistic" here is BILL's REFUSAL TO ANSWER
any of them, clearly and concisely.

Questions clearly and concisely presented ARE NOT antagonistic.
They are just questions!
The fact that asking them has stirred up such emotions on Bill's part that
he's lost his cool and publically, in ANY FORUM, in writing,
calls me a "bitch," (quelle joke) and calls Morgy Bobby, the
esteemed thread mommy, a "pisser" is NOT indicative of the head
of any organization I'd want to send a dime to, let alone lead some cockimamie
fight against the Federal Reserve and Treasury.

The fact that the list of unanswered Qs is growing is NOT antagonistic.

The fact that NONE of the answers are forthcoming...is THAT antagonistic?
And to what end is all this secrecy, obfuscation, evasion?
Surely it is NOT conducive to raising more $$$ from decent hardworking folks
who don't like low gold prices!!!

The first rule of fund raising is:
DO NOT irritate the potential donor base by stupid public utterances,
and poor organizational structure, unattenable goals.


Maybe You've heard the old saying, THC. Perhaps your culture has a similar one:
Once burned, Twice shy!

There are goldbugs on here who have been looking for an "imminent gold rally"
for longer than Bill. Infact, about 18 years longer than Bill.

All one has to do is look at BM's "gold rally set up" ONE MORE TIME,
and there will be "contagious wretching" heard throughout SI-dom.

He's been screaming "set up, get long, now!!!!" for about what, 6 months now?
1)Have you seen a gold rally? I sure haven't!
2)Have you seen shorts make money in this gold market? YOU BETCHA!
3)Have you seen shorts make money in other markets and they weren't "manipulated?"
YOU BETCHA!
4)Have you seen shorts positions in CFTC Com./Traders get eased out of and rolled
forward w/out roiling the gold market? YOU BETCHA.

So why IS IT that SI doesn't hear Murphy screaming,
"SHORT THIS SUCKER AT 294 and buy back at 288" for these last 6 months.

NOW THAT would have MADE folks money, wouldn't you agree?
The very folks who Murphy's trying to get money FROM now?
The very folks who have already been burned ONCE by buying PHYSICAL
gold too high and holding it, hoping for a profit?

THC,
I submit that the MARKET is antagonistic to the bull case.

I submit that Don Green is antagonistic to the Bull Case.

I submit that Ken Benes is antagonistic to the Bull Case.

I submit that the IMF is antagonistic to the Bull Case.

I submit that the F/Rsrv is antagonistic to the Bull Case.

And you want to say QUESTIONS about an organization is 'antagonistic?'

Naw, Bill has made a big splash about his position,
and he wants to blame someone ELSE
for his wrong PUBLIC AVOWALS about the direction of gold.

BILL dresses up his mistaken call in slogans and little else;
finds some unheard of's to throw in with him,
and NOW he's gonna go to WA?????
He'll be lucky if they even LOOK at his "cocktail napkin ciphers!"

Good Luck in getting Bill to come clean about anything, volitionally,
or any other way, except his mantra:
GOLD IS MANIPULATED and SET UP FOR AN IMMINENT RALLY.

From where I sit, THC,
the ONLY person ON this thread who is NOT antagonistic toward
low gold prices is ME, THC!!!
Why? Because the cost of acquisition and processing of recycled gold
is less than $20 per oz, due to abundance of above ground, already
refined once, plentiful scrap gold SUPPLY!

Could it be that because I uniquely on this thread or other SI threads,
have figured out a way to profit from Low Gold Prices?

Could it be that this sole role/leader gives me a unique perspective
into Bill's nonsensical fundraising campaign?

GOOD LUCK in your eloquent request for public answers. But don't hold your breath.
I don't know anyone who can hold their breath THAT long! And the money will
run out and Bill will disappear, just like other "peons of the ages" before him.

Regards,
O/49r

Tom,

I do not even follow this nonsense any more. As far as a defense. What am I supposed to defend. Working 7 days a week, calling all over the world,working with the PR firm, talking to the lawyers, making sure the GATA fine art prints are shipped properly,keeping up with the GATA website, trying to bring in more contributions, trying to wake up the gold companies, contacting Washington, etc. All this for no pay and if we are successful, the entire gold community benefits.

Maybe we won't be, but at least we are giving it one helluva try. We hope to have Berger & Montague retained this week to launch an investigation, not a law suit. We are coordinating the Washington exercise with the PR firm to gain maximum benefit in terms of presenting our case to the media. It takes much planning, etc.

I do not intend to defend one thing, nor will I spend one second on it. There is too much that has to be done and so little time to do it all.

Bill
