Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

This column by John Crudele in today's New York Post,
quot;Greenspan's Scam,quot; may be of interest. It argues that
the Federal Reserve's talk of raising interest rates is
belied by the quot;bubble insurancequot; the Fed is secretly
providing the stock market.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

I'm sorry to clutter your mailbox with two dispatches
tonight, but I just came upon this Reuters story about
the charges filed by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission against, among others, Merrill Lynch and Co.
The CFTC charges that Merrill Lynch was part of a
scheme to corner the copper market.

I imagine that running copper prices UP offends the

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

I'm afraid I'll have to leave it to others to divine
the true meaning of the remarks made today to the
House Banking Committee by Treasury Secretary Robert
Rubin and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.

Of course I don't trust these guys as far as I could
throw them, and I have to suspect a hidden motive for
everything they do. But the Reuters dispatch follows.

Dear Friends of GATA and Gold:

A couple of things on a day that seems to have been
without much news in the precious metals....

1) That scandal story we've been expecting out of
London hasn't quite broken but there have been open
references to it. It seems to be that Prime Minister
Blair's economics adviser is an official of Goldman
Sachs, the great shorter of gold, and so there is
