Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The attempt of the Bank for International Settlements
to expropriate its private shareholders, perhaps to
prevent them from sharing in the bank's gold policy and
profits, made it into the Financial Times yesterday.

As you'll see from the story, reproduced below, this is
now an international issue, and we hope you'll remember

Homestake Mine for the Bull Gang in Mill No. 2.
