Gold - Who's selling who's buying who's lying  |
| Although the Pharisees of paper money successfully forced down the price of gold, like those who lobbied Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus, the consequences of their actions will backfire beyond their wildest imagination.The decision of the paper money cabal to force down the price of gold is akin to Japan's decision to attack Pearl Harbor. Although the attack was successful, the eventual consequences were not what Japan had envisioned.Recently, an article, The Gold Correction: What's the Big DealThursday, May 09, 2013 |

So where's all the gold coming ...  |
| Observing the recent smash in the paper gold market, our friend S.S. asks whether it may signify that Western government gold reserves, particularly U.S. gold reserves, are a lot larger than reported, or if world gold holdings generally are a lot larger than estimated, so much so that gold price suppression can continue for decades or centuries. He cites the famous story about the supposed hoard of looted Asian gold amassed by Japanese Army Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita during World War II, a hoard soMonday, April 29, 2013 |

| The gold price was $35 for years -- and suddenly there was no market at all |
| Another day, another interview for your secretary/treasurer -- more preaching to the choir and maybe the stray bystander near the church door -- this time with Jessica Lau of Sprott Money News, who posed questions about the Western central bank gold price suppression scheme, the debacle in Cyprus, bitcoin, and a lot more. The interview is about a half hour long and audio is posted at YouTube here:

| James Turk's interview with Beurs Magazine |
| Since last summer the euro has been on the rise. Is that a trend you see continuing going forward?
JT: It’s hard to predict the euro’s moves against other fiat currencies. All are being debased at a rapid rate by central banks. This means that the euro doesn’t really stand out as a poor performer in this context. In fact over the last decade, it’s held its value slightly better than the US dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Japanese yen and the British pound – as can be seen from the folloMonday, March 04, 2013 |

| After my last post, Think like a Giant 2, another gold writer who I consider a friend sent me an email that included a question. I had a thorough answer to his question in mind, but at the same time he said he thought it was basically unanswerable. After considering this conundrum, I concluded that the perspective reflected in the email completely missed the point and was so loaded with hard money preconceptions that the best way for me to frame my answer was by painting a whole new picture stFriday, March 01, 2013 |

| What then must we do? |
| A friend, C.S., wrote to your secretary/treasurer today asking for comment on the beating gold has taken in the last few weeks. Your secretary/treasurer is no market analyst but couldn't leave her hanging and so offered the following.

And the multitudes asked him, 'What then must we do?' -- Luke 3:10.

| The Gold Report: Ian, you believe that 2013 is likely to be an economic and financial disaster. But you have been saying similar things for years. Why is 2013 likely to be different?
Ian Gordon: Yes, I have been saying similar things for years. However, I know through my work that we are in a longwave winter. The whole purpose of the longwave winter is to cleanse the economy of debt.
The longwave winter began with the stock market peak when the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 11,750 in JanuaThursday, February 07, 2013 |

| Former Fed and Treasury official endorses transparency for gold swaps and leases |
| Interviewed today by the German financial journalist Lars Schall, former Federal Reserve and Treasury Department official Edwin M. Truman seems to back away from his assertion to a World Bank and Bank for International Settlements conference last month (http://www.gata.org/node/12084) that the Washington Agreement on Gold was "the modern counterpart" of the gold price-rigging London Gold Pool of the 1960s. But Truman extends his call for greater transparency in central banking to encompass the gMonday, January 28, 2013 |

people still take this stuff seriously a half-century later. It’s

| Lessons from the London Gold Pool |
| As we examine 6000 years of monetary history, several very clear "Monetary Constants" seem to emerge. These very same constants have appeared throughout time and millennia, regardless of the empire, ruler or social structure of the day. While there are several, three of these constants are important to our journey into history today;Saturday, November 17, 2012 |

| Central Bank Gold Run could be a possibility ? |
| On learning that French gold was being held by the U.S. Federal Reserve, French President Charles de Gaulle is reported to have said, “I could hardly sleep easily with such an arrangement.” So in 1965 he ordered French navy ships to cross the Atlantic to pick up $150 million in gold held in the Fed’s New York vaults and deliver it to theBanque de France in Paris.Friday, November 02, 2012 |
