Organizacja GATA wytoczyła proces w sprawie ujawnienia danych, według których centralne banki z rządem zamieszane są od lat w sekretne interwencje i manipulacje mające na celu utrzymywanie cen złota i srebra znacznie poniżej ich wartości. Dowodow na to jest już teraz sporo, jeśli wyjdą na wierzch inne, a podobna legislacja wysunięta przez Rona Paula przeszła niedawno w Kongresie USA, może wywołać wielką aferę. Ujawnienie tych danych (które są dla wtajemniczonych od dawna tajemnicą Poliszynela) czy choćby szersze nagłośnienie dowodów już istniejących, podbije znacznie ceny srebra i złota. Poniżej komentarz po angielsku, a więcej na stronie GATA, a także tutaj:
news.goldseek.com/GATA/1262238...GATA today brought suit against the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, seeking a court order for disclosure of the central bank's records of its surreptitious market intervention to suppress the monetary metal's price.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and targets Fed records involving gold swaps, exchanges of gold with foreign financial institutions. In a letter dated September 17 this year to GATA's law firm, William J. Olson P.C. of Vienna, Virginia, (www dot lawandfreedom.com) Fed Board of Governors member Kevin M. Warsh acknowledged that the Fed has gold swap agreements with foreign banks but insisted that such documents remain secret:
The lawsuit follows two years of GATA's efforts to obtain from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury Department a candid accounting of the U.S. government's involvement in the gold market. These efforts parallel those of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who long has been proposing legislation to audit the Fed. The Fed has wrapped in secrecy much of its massive intervention in the markets over the last year, and Paul's legislation recently was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Fed claims that its gold swap records involve "trade secrets" exempt from disclosure under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.
While GATA has produced many U.S. government records showing both open and surreptitious intervention in the gold market in recent decades (see www dot gata.org/node/8052), Fed Governor Warsh's letter is confirmation that the government is surreptitiously operating in the gold market in the present as well. That intervention constitutes a huge deception of financial markets as well as expropriation of precious metals miners and investors particularly. This deception and expropriation are what GATA was established in 1999 to expose and oppose.
