Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Interviewed today by Jason Burack of Wall Street for Main Street, your secretary/treasurer reviewed GATA's documentation of central bank intervention and particularly U.S. government intervention in the monetary metals markets, the likelihood that all major governments are aware of it, the refusal of mainstream financial news organizations to report about it, and why most monetary metals mining companies are too scared to acknowledge and protest it.
