GATA's New Year's Week fundraising campaign has prompted donations from 96 of the nearly 7,800 people receiving our daily dispatches. That's a response rate of about 1 percent, which may not be bad for charitable solicitations in this cynical and demoralized age but it might not quite strike terror in the hearts of the central banks that are authorized to create infinite money and deploy it secretly to defeat markets.
Still, we know that central banks are afraid of exposure, because they refuse to answer the critical and specific questions GATA has put to them about their secret interventions. Their market rigging will fail if it is documented and publicized well enough and if news organizations and others in charge of public forums gain the courage to share the documentation and grasp what it means.
The documentation is available at GATA's internet site here --

-- and is always being supplemented. But simply compiling it is not enough. It must be spread by constant agitation and confrontation, and that requires the financial support GATA asks for.
Despite the power of the market-rigging central banks, this struggle is not hopeless. A few million dollars properly deployed in the publicity that mainstream financial news organizations refuse to provide might explode the deception and cheating. But GATA will keep finding ways to make an impact whatever our resources.
So if you have not already contributed, please consider doing so now. As GATA is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501-c-3 educational and civil rights organization, contributions are federally tax-deductible in the United States.
Please help us get to 100 donors this week. Visit the donation page of our internet site here:

Your donation will go farther still if, whether you donate by check or credit card, you include an e-mail address so we can thank you personally without resorting to stationery and postage.
No contribution is too small. Any contribution will be greater than the indifference GATA has received from Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold, which couldn't care less how much markets are rigged against their product and their shareholders.
With your help GATA will keep advancing the cause of free and transparent markets, limited and accountable government, and fair dealing among nations.
