GATA consultant Robert Lambourne today provides below his monthly report on the gold swaps maintained by the central bank of the central banks, the Bank for International Settlements, and superficially the report may seem ordinary, disclosing a small increase in BIS gold swaps from May to June, 7 tonnes, from 109 to 116.

Lambourne is too modest to highlight the most important development with the BIS' accounts. That is, the bank's annual report, dated March 31 --

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

If mainstream financial news organizations ever work up the courage to report honestly about monetary gold, the commanding heights of the issue will have been mapped out for them by U.S. Rep. Alex X. Mooney, R-West Virginia.
