Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The news report appended here about Citigroup's
avoidance of criminal charges in Germany for its
euro bond market manipulation last August evokes
the dictum of the great American journalist
Charles Peters, editor emeritus of The Washington
Monthly.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

remarked, "is a conspiracy against the
laity." And it seems that every meeting
of central bankers is a conspiracy
against the currency markets.
Gold and silver prices are routinely
listed with currency prices because the
precious metals are supra-national
currencies. So if central bankers often

DRDGOLD has today applied to liquidate its operating
shafts in South Africa's North West province (Blyvoor
and Harties) in a step that saves the group from
bankruptcy but cedes a third of its 15 million in gold
reserves.
The decision is likely to stir the ire of unions, as
some 5,600 jobs have been placed in jeopardy.
The application to liquidate the mines also opens the

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Resource Investor's Tim Wood tonight has posted
his essay "GATA's Fatal Gold Solipsism," which
seems to argue, contrary to GATA's recent
suggestion, that gold should not necessarily have
