Ronan Manly: Musical chairs for central bankers on LBMA board
12:37p ET Thursday, June 25, 2020
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Noting the appointment of another former central banker, Isabelle Strauss-Kahn of the Banque de France, to the board of the London Bullion Market Association, Bullion Star researcher Ronan Manly reminds us today that there is little difference between the association and central banking, which long has aimed to control and suppress the gold price.

Asante Gold pursues high-margin, low-capex projects
in Ghana, Africa's largest and safest gold producer
Asante Gold Corporation (CSE:ASE / Frankfurt: 1A9 / U.S.OTC:ASGOF) is focused on developing high-margin, low capital-expense gold projects in Ghana, Africa's largest and safest gold producer.
Our experienced team members have developed 18 million ounces of gold resources in Ghana and have managed its largest underground mine.
We plan to develop our projects in a safe and environmentally sustainable way using new green technology and methods.The first mine we plan to build, Kubi, will be powered by a four-megawatt solar plant.
We believe gold is the only real money and is the basis of all money. We believe in sharing our future earnings with our shareholders. We invite you to join with us to help us finance and grow in this new 2020 super bull gold market. Visit us here:
Manly writes: "In a classic case of musical chairs, Strauss-Kahn's appointment comes from a vacancy that has arisen due to the departure from another 'independent' LBMA non-executive director, former Federal Reserve Bank of New York official Simon Potter." ...
Of Strauss-Kahn's appointment, Manly continues: "Ruth Crowell, LBMA chief executive said: 'We look forward to working with Isabelle, whose extensive experience in the financial services industry -- specifically with central banks -- will strengthen the LBMA's global reach and independence of the board.'
Manly adds: "With central banks being some of the main players in the gold market through their secretive gold leading, swaps, and leases, not to mention their behind-the-scenes accumulation, distribution, and repatriation of the yellow metal, the degree of 'independence' that influential former central bankers can have when on the board of the LBMA is debatable, to put it mildly. 'Independent of what?' may be the best question, and why the secrecy?"
