Dear GATA members,

We have had a strong rebut from Dr Gary Matthews to the Farfel posting
of yesterday. Dr Matthews, whom I know as Doc, was one of the first to
support me when I risked all to start Le Metropole Cafe in May 1998, and
he was right there with a pledge of $500 within two days of the Gold
Anti-Trust Action Launch. Now he has written:

"As you well know, I have been with you from the very beginning. I

Dear fellow-members of GATA,

Last week the Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Chretian, added his voice
to the chorus, "The I.M.F. should sell some of its gold to help the poor
countries." He did so probably well knowing that if the money-rich are

Dear GATA Members,

Here is a contribution from FARFEL, just received, in response to gold
now falling below the critical $280 level:

GOLDBUGS. . . are you angry yet???

I first appeared on the Kitco forum about two years ago. As many of you
remembered, at that time, I attempted, in my own small way, to rouse
goldbugs and encourage activism against Wall Street's gold short
colluders and their accessories in crime. I did so through usage of

Dear fellow-members of GATA,

Gold is the key to culture.
Take gold out of the economy and you take the heart out of the economy.
Take the heart out of the economy and culture is destroyed.

the sky, dig deep for love, and establish heaven to earth values to live
by.

Dig deep for love? what is love?

Princeton Economics Predicts April 8 into 9 CRASH

Section: Daily Dispatches

Hullo GATA members,

Some of you have been having difficulty getting to Princeton Economics
International (not Institute. The problem is in the 1 instead of l it
seems. Sorry about that. I normally paste addresses over, but it has
