Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Reginald H. Howe of www.goldensextant.com demonstrates
in his latest essay that the Federal Reserve knows more
about the manipulation of the gold market than it is letting
on. His essay is accompanied by three important charts that
cannot be reproduced in this simple email. So I have copied
the text here, made parenthetical insertions showing where

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

On Wednesday the GATA delegation to Washington met
with high officials of Congress and their staffs to present
evidence that the price of gold is being manipulated and
that gold loans have reached levels that threaten the U.S.
and world banking systems. We presented GATA's new

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The Battle of Washington is about to commence.

A little more than a year ago the Gold Anti-Trust
Action Committee developed a strategy to win the day
against the manipulators of the gold market. Our
strategy was based on the quot;enveloping hornquot; tactic of
the great South African Zulu chieftain, Shaka.

That strategy is working for us as it worked for him.

Canada's Barrick sees strong gold prices ahead

LIMA, Peru, May 4 (Reuters) -- Canada's Barrick Gold
Corp. is betting on strong future gold prices in 2000
as world demand for the precious metal improves about

by investors in gold as an alternative to inflation-

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

A few minutes ago the XAU was up 4.6 percent and
Barrick Gold, ABX, the hedge fund that masquerades
as a gold miner, was running from even to DOWN a
third of a percent. Some would call this irrational, but
not us at GATA. And if the markets are going to be
irrational, they might as well be irrational on our side
once in a while. In any case gold is getting attention
