Al Gore does not have an inconvenient truth to tell. And I am somewhat disturbed to see any indication from your website that supports such an overt attempt at global socialism.

I do not understand why you destroyed your arguments by introduction of that nonsense. What was your thinking on that?

Nice work. To be clear, the Daily Bell finds Al Gore far more inconvenient than his truth.

WOW!!! Although I've thought this all along I didn't realize there was such compelling evidence available. This should sure fire up all believers in precious metals. I wonder if Murphy ever contacted "60 minutes". It's worth a try. Also,financial publications always say the price of gold went up because the dollar fell. I believe that will change in the future too "the dollar fell futhur today because the price of gold went up again".


Reply from the Daily Bell:

More likely to investigate Murphy than his allegations.

Posted by Victor Heddins on 5/31/2009 1:07:30 PM

Outstanding.

Excellent Story.


Reply from the Daily Bell:

Thanks.

Go GATA! Go Appenzell Daily Bell! This may be the most significant article ever penned by The Daily Bell, and I have been moved to respond to several. In response to comments by Bill Murphy, I would strongly recommend purchasing a copy of Gold Rush 21 (available at Click to View Link). The speech by Mr. Ferdinand LIPS (may he RIP), and read by his colleague JP Schumacher, is as timely today as it was in 2006. It is brilliant. The free market lives, in part, because of the work of GATA and the Daily Bell and the darkness behind the world of manipulation will end because of the people behind these organizations. Once these manipulative draculas have been forced into the light I propose the following as an appropriate 'reward' for their evil ways. In his book entitled "The Great Wave", David Hackett Fischer describes how King Edward ll met his demise. "For England's much-hated King Edward ll, a worse fate was in store. He was forcibly deposed and cast into a deep dungeon at Berkeley Castle in the west of England. His captors faced a dilema. They could not let him live, but neither could they appear to kill their sovereign. They solved their problem by inventing a unique method of execution that left no visible marks. The king was seized and tightly bound. A red-hot iron was driven slowly upward through his anus until it penetrated his brain. It is said that his dying screams could be heard for miles across the Severn Valley." (page 39 - 40). Might I suggest that next to one's gold and silver bullion, and next to one's firearms and pitchforks, one adds an iron poker. Cheers to The Appenzell Daily Bell, GATA and all other freedom fighters. I believe that Ayn Rand may have said it best when she wrote in Atlas Shrugged (page 413): "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion -- when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing -- when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors -- when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you -- when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice -- you may know that your society is doomed.


Reply from the Daily Bell:

We believe GATA should receive a fair hearing on a larger stage. Too many are well aware of its research after so many years. None of this is news. But much of it sounds truthful. If central banks are to follow such policies, those who lead them ought to reveal them, or fully rebut GATA's research. To let it linger only encourages suspicion and distrust.

In due course, it will be easier for the top dogs to go with the upward pressure on the gold price instead of against it and profit by the change in stance. Who will have title to the various hard assets is the age old game/question...as the world turns...since the days of the days of the sailing ships and before


Reply from the Daily Bell:

Good point.

Wow! I just read Scott Smith interview with GATA chairman Bill Murphy and it was really a great interview! Precise and right-to-the-point questions. Clear and informative answers. And, to finish with, a very interesting and implicated conclusion.

Very nice to read. Good work!


Reply from the Daily Bell:

Thanks for your support.

Great Interview.
Scott Smith's After Thoughts show that he is a great thinker, too.


Reply from the Daily Bell:

Thanks for the kind words.

Posted by Rob Walker on 6/1/2009 2:27:15 PM

Great interview. Please continue to do these fact findings at least every 3 months with GATA, so tht public knowledge increases and puts pressure on government officials & congress) to act. Thank you!


Reply from the Daily Bell:

Thanks for the suggestion.

I just checked wikipedia and found the entry for GATA was deleted on 10 Feb. 2009 in part for reasons cited in your post. It was recreated 23:00, 13 April 2009 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted "Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee" (G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion)

It was redeleted 02:07, 20 April 2009 Dank (talk | contribs) deleted "Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee" (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of Click to View Link)

The information was taken from Click to View Link
as of 1 June 2009.

It seems irregular that wikipedia would delete a page over intellectual property rights when presumably Mr. Murphy and GATA appear to want the widest possible public distribution.


Reply from the Daily Bell:

So it was deleted more than once ... Thanks for the update.
