Gold market manipulation hasn't gone away and GATA still needs your help
10:55a ET Wednesday, June 24, 2026
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
The last year has been dramatic for the monetary metals. Sharp increases in price, indicative of short squeezes, have been offset by counterintuitive downward smashes even as a major war has broken out while another has intensified. News reports and analysis have emphasized the role of some central banks as major longs in the gold and silver markets but not the continuing role of other central banks on the short side in defense of their currencies and particularly the U.S. dollar.
The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee long has focused on the monetary metals markets -- not just the public activity but also the surreptitious activity, which is usually more influential. We have alerted investors, elected officials, financial journalists, and even central banks themselves to many things they would not have known otherwise. By exposing the government-engineered short position in gold and celebrating the virtues of the monetary metals, including their protection of individual liberty, GATA has spurred demand for the metals and the shares of gold and silver mining companies.

Ultra-Secure Swiss Vault Storage from Tara Gold and Silver Ltd.
Tara Gold is delighted to announce the launch of our ultra-secure gold and silver secure storage service.
GATA followers can now own gold and silver coins and bars -- including the Gold and Silver Trees of Life — with fully segregated, allocated holdings in one of the safest vault providers in Switzerland and the world.
All coins and bars are held in your name. Not a paper claim. Not someone else's liability. Real, physical precious metals you can visit, inspect, take delivery of, or sell at any time.
Safety, Trust & Privacy: Our Swiss storage partner is Helveticor AG in Zurich. Tara Gold's Mark O'Byrne, after extensive international due diligence, served as Helveticor's global ambassador for two years and stores metal with them personally. He has known the owners and senior staff for 20 years and trusts their vaults implicitly. Your metals there are fully insured and held outside the banking system — no counterparty risk, no digital risk, and no fractional reserving, with complete discreetness and privacy.
Liquidity: Switzerland is a primary hub for precious metals. You can sell quickly and competitively, with proceeds transferred directly to your bank account.
Tax Efficiency: Gold and silver in Swiss-bonded vaults are exempt from sales taxes. You pay only if you remove bullion from Switzerland.
For holdings of $100,000 or more, the combination of security, privacy, liquidity, and tax efficiency makes this a compelling international diversification.
For rates, application forms, and all key information, visit here or contact GATA supporter Tara Gold and Silver Ltd.'s Mark O'Byrne at mark@taracoins.com or +353-12641850.
We sometimes have been able to break through the blackout that many mainstream financial news organizations have imposed on the gold and silver manipulation issue, as we broke through a few weeks ago with this report in Canada's Financial Post:

We have detailed and publicized the monthly interventions against gold undertaken by the Bank for International Settlements on behalf of their central bank members, interventions that seem to correlate with smashes in the gold price:

We have spread the word at financial conferences around the world --

-- and through many programs on YouTube, like this one:

We have maintained and updated our master compendium of the documentation that confirms gold price suppression policy, a compendium that is the only such work in the world:

And with daily dispatches we have kept our supporters informed about important developments in gold and silver:

But the struggle for free and transparent markets in the monetary metals and for limited and accountable government everywhere is not yet won, even as it can be won if enough people around the world support the cause. We need your help to continue. We get no support from the World Gold Council, which has a huge budget financed by large mining companies and which should be doing the work we have been doing but is too timid to challenge the enemies of free and transparent markets and sometimes seems aligned with them.
We're still up against enormous undemocratic financial and political power. So please consider supporting GATA financially:
Donations of $500 or more will entitle the donor to a beautiful 1-ounce silver round commemorating GATA's work:

We very much need your help now.
With good wishes.
