GATA secretary interviewed by KWN about incriminating IMF memo
3:45p ET Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Your secretary/treasurer was interviewed today by King World News about GATA's disclosure this week of a confidential International Monetary Fund memorandum confirming that central banks hide their gold loans and swaps to facilitate secret market manipulation. (See http://www.gata.org/node/12016.)
The IMF memo, your secretary/treasurer said, "is as authoritative an admission as we are likely ever going to get that central banks are actively involved, in secret, in the gold market, and conceal their gold data because disclosure, accountability, would bust up their whole market-rigging scheme."
An excerpt from the interview is posted at the King World News blog here:

World opinion is changing in favor of gold.
How can you learn why and what it will mean to you?
Read the newly updated and expanded edition of Lehrman's book, "The True Gold Standard."
Financial journalist James Grant says of "The True Gold Standard": "If you have ever wondered how the world can get from here to there -- from the chaos of depreciating paper to a convertible currency worthy of our children and our grandchildren -- wonder no more. The answer, brilliantly expounded, is between these covers. America has long needed a modern Alexander Hamilton. In Lewis E. Lehrman she has finally found him."
