Adrian checks in regarding my commentary at The Matisse Table…
GATA Lawsuit Versus The Federal Reserve System

Bill,
I would like to point out that Alan Greenspan lied when he wrote to Senator Bunning and said
QUOTE
"The Federal Reserve owns no gold and therefore could not sell or lease gold to influence its price. Likewise the Federal Reserve does not engage in financial transactions related to gold, such as trading in gold options or other derivatives. Most importantly, the Federal Reserve is in complete agreement with the proposition that any such transactions on our part, aimed at manipulating the free price of gold or otherwise interfering with the free trade of gold, would be wholly inappropriate."
END
The Federal Reserve owns ALL the US gold because it has been given as collateral against the issuance of Federal Reserve Notes that the US Government uses to fund its never ending budget deficits. This is from the Federal Reserve Annual report….
QUOTE
Payment for the gold certificates by the Reserve Banks is made by crediting equivalent amounts in dollars into the account established for the U.S. Treasury. These gold certificates held by the Reserve Banks are required to be backed by the gold of the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Treasury may reacquire the gold certificates at any time and the Reserve Banks must deliver them to the U.S. Treasury. At such time, the U.S. Treasury's account is charged, and the Reserve Banks' gold certificate accounts are lowered. The value of gold for purposes of backing the gold certificates is set by law at $42-2/9 a fine troy ounce. The Board of Governors allocates the gold certificates among Reserve Banks once a year based on the average Federal Reserve notes outstanding in each Reserve Bank.
END
The gold may (or may not) be held physically by the Treasury but its "title" has been transferred to the FED who promises to sell it back at any time for $42.22/oz. The FED and Treasury may hide behind the semantics and legalese but the FED owns the gold and the Treasury claim they own it too!
Look at the assets reported below in the FED’s annual report. They claim gold certificates as assets of 11.037 B$. If you divide by $42.22/oz this is 260 Million ozs of gold, which is 8,134t which is ALL the gold that the US Treasury claims IT owns yet it is residing on the balance sheet of the FED as "gold certificates" that "are required to be backed by the gold of the US Treasury".
This is why the FED can not answer questions about gold swaps because they have been dealing in gold because all the US gold belongs to them. It has to be returned at any time at a price of $42.22/oz…that would be an interesting challenge to achieve in the open market!
Cheers
Adrian
Adrian is right on. Greenspan is a LIAR and one of the biggest hypocritical phonies in US financial market history. From my December 7^th piece, THE GREAT GOLD SCANDAL," also at The Matisse Table:
The GATA camp recently uncovered some comments made by former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan which he made in 1993 during a Federal Open Market Committee meeting:
Page 40 of the transcript here (Page 42 of the PDF version:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/FOMC19930518meeting.p...)
"I have one other issue I'd like to throw on the table. I hesitate to do it, but let me tell you some of the issues that are involved here. If we are dealing with psychology, then the thermometers one uses to measure it have an effect. I was raising the question on the side with Governor Mullins of what would happen if the Treasury sold a little gold in this market. There's an interesting question here because if the gold price broke in that context, the thermometer would not be just a measuring tool. It would basically affect the underlying psychology."
What Greenspan was saying way back when was that by secretly putting gold into the market, it would affect the psychology of the markets, investors and the public. This was the beginning of the gold price suppression scheme. Greenspan used the word thermometer. For a decade GATA has used the word barometer to explain why The Gold Cartel was surreptitiously suppressing the price … they SHOT THE MESSENGER!

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Your secretary/treasurer was interviewed for about 16 minutes today by Chris Waltzek of GoldSeek Radio. Among other things, we discussed GATA's federal freedom-of-information lawsuit against the Federal Reserve for access to gold-related documents and particularly the Fed's records of gold swaps. If mainstream financial news organizations ever pressed the Fed for an explanation of these gold swap agreements, the surreptitious Western central bank gold price manipulation scheme would end quickly.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA's lawsuit against the Federal Reserve in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia slogs on amid the Fed's desperate obstructionism. Last week, through its lawyers, William J. Olson and Jon S. Miles of the Vienna, Virginia, firm of William J. Olson P.C. (http://www.lawandfreedom.com/), GATA filed a long brief replying to the Fed's objection to a couple of GATA's requests. We have asked the court to review privately the gold-related documents the Fed doesn't want to disclose and to permit GATA to pose a limited number of questions to the Fed.
Our lawyers' mastery of freedom-of-information law and precedent is amazing even as their reply brief may make any layman's eyes glaze over after reading just a few of its 25 pages. The brief has been posted at GATA's Internet site so our supporters and gold's friends can see just how much effort is going into the lawsuit:

Judge orders Fed to deliver gold records for her review


Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA today scored a small but perhaps auspicious victory over the Federal Reserve in our lawsuit seeking access to the Fed's secret gold files. The judge presiding over GATA's federal freedom-of-information lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Ellen Segal Huvelle, granted GATA's motion to order the Fed to produce in complete form for the judge's private review 20 gold-related documents the Fed has sought to keep secret. The judge ordered the Fed to deliver the documents by Friday.

Through its lawyers, William J. Olson P.C. of Vienna, Virginia -- www.LawAndFreedom.com -- GATA has argued that the Fed's production of gold-related documents has been so inadequate and the Fed's arguments for keeping them secret so weak that the court should review the documents acknowledged by the Fed and order the Fed to answer 25 questions from GATA about the Fed's search for relevant information.

While Judge Huvelle still could grant at any time the Fed's motion to dismiss GATA's lawsuit, her ruling today at least implies a little skepticism about the Fed and its tactics. Combined with today's statement by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Monetary Policy (http://www.gata.org/node/9495), Judge Huvelle's ruling gives hope that the Fed's enormous secret power to rig markets and bestow the most fantastic patronage on a parasitic financial elite can be brought to account eventually.

The judge's order to the Fed to produce documents for her private review can be found at GATA's Internet site here:

http://www.gata.org/files/GATAFedLawsuitCourtOrder-01-10-2011.pdf

Those who are skeptical of GATA's complaint that the Federal Reserve is part of an interntional gold-price rigging scheme should reflect on the meaning of the Fed's refusal to disclose all its gold-related records, records that include gold swap arrangements with foreign banks:

http://www.gata.org/node/8192

If the U.S. gold reserves are just sitting somewhere, inert, unencumbered, and unused for surreptitious market intervention, what's the problem with full disclosure?

Financial journalists unafraid of aggravating the world's financial powers should start putting gold-related questions to the Fed and other central banks and stop simply assuming that secrecy should be the normal order of things with central banks and gold.

And people everywhere who believe in free markets in the monetary metals and who have not already supported GATA financially can join our struggle here:

http://www.gata.org/node/16

This struggle could have been undertaken easily and likely more effectively by the World Gold Council, which aims to represent gold mining companies and gold investors. But the council's indifference to questions of surreptitious central bank intervention in the gold market has left the struggle to GATA. We need your help to pursue this struggle to victory for free markets, limited government, and a better, fairer world.


Eh bien figurez-vous que je ne suis pas du tout certain que ça soit une bonne nouvelle pour les cours des MPx...

Du moins à court terme.


A quand une mesure de rétorsion de la Fed qui déversera des montagnes de PQ pour faire baisser les cours ?

ça c'est une excellente nouvelle, Pascal
je précise, pour ceux qui comprennent pas l'anglais .. que le juge a ordonné à la FED de produire les pièces demandées par le gata.. ce que jusqu' à présent était refusé.. au prétexte du secret nécessaire ..

ça progresse encore, et Gata va notamment mettre la main sur quelques documents déclassifiés du secret, par la juge Ellen Segal Huvelle..

et en tout état de cause.. Gata aura confirmé ses travaux sur le rôle de la Fed dans la manipulation du marché de l'or, en conduisant des opérations secrétes.., et notamment des swaps -échanges d'or..

sans compter qu'on espére bien que Ron Paul, nouveau patron de la House Financial Services Committee's , sous commission de la politique monétaire domestique.. reprendra le BB !

Fed can keep most gold secrets but must yield one, judge rules


Submitted by cpowell on Fri, 2011-02-04 01:48. Section: Daily Dispatches
8:55p ET Thursday, February 3, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The Federal Reserve can keep secret most of the gold documents at issue in GATA's freedom-of-information lawsuit against it, a federal judge ruled today. But the judge, Ellen Segal Huvelle of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ordered the Fed to disclose to GATA a potentially crucial document by February 18.
Judge Huvelle ruled that most of the Fed's documents were exempt from disclosure under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act for being "pre-decisional or deliberative" or for containing privileged or confidential commercial or financial information obtained from a person or corporation.
Among the documents so exempted, the judge found, is "an email exchange" among Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Bank of New York staff members "discussing what information to include in response to requests from Congress regarding the Federal Reserve's involvement in gold."
Similarly exempted, the judge found, is "a September 17, 2001, draft document entitled 'Confidential Draft: Potential Repo/Swap Involving Treasury Gold.' The document identifies issues that would be raised if a swap or repurchase transaction involving Treasury gold were to occur."
The one document whose disclosure was ordered by the judge was described in her memorandum of decision as "a staff member's notes on the discussion by the Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee of the Group of Ten (or "G-10"), as well as a transmission memorandum from Mr. [Ted] Truman to the board." The notes, the judge found, "are a straightforward factual recounting of a meeting with representatives of foreign central banks, detailing what each of the participants said."
Judge Huvelle ruled in favor of the Fed and against GATA on the adequacy of the Fed's search for documents relevant to GATA's FOI request. GATA considered the search inadequate for several reasons, not least because the Fed never acknowledged the gold swap arrangements with foreign banks that were acknowledged by Fed Governor Kevin M. Warsh in his denial of GATA's FOI request in September 2009:
http://www.gata.org/files/GATAFedResponse-09-17-2009.pdf
Regardless of the adverse parts of the judge's decision, GATA considers its lawsuit a success for having established in open court that the Fed has many secrets about gold, a subject where secrecy's only plausible purpose can be surreptitious market intervention, which would be fully consistent with the official documentation GATA has compiled about such intervention. (See http://www.gata.org/taxonomy/term/21 and particularly http://www.gata.org/node/9545.)
That the Fed has participated in gold swaps for market-rigging purposes has been established, among other things, by the January 1995 minutes of its own Federal Open Market Committee (http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/FOMC19950201meeting.p...) and by the refusal two months ago of Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, to deny that it has undertaken gold swaps with the United States (http://www.gata.org/node/9363).
Further, the record of GATA's case may be useful to U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, should he, as many hope and expect, formally question Federal Reserve officials about the Fed's surreptitious involvement in the gold market.
Of course GATA's case also suggests all sorts of questions that could put to Fed officials about gold should financial journalism ever report on that market seriously.

j'attire votre attention sur un des documents que Gata a réussi à obtenir de la FED..

il ne s'agit pas moins que les minutes du G10 de 1997 où les principaux banquiers centraux de la planéte se sont concerté au sujet des cours de l'or.. qui faisaient bien trop de résistance à leur goût, et ce en dépit des opérations de leasing ( cad de prét d'or par les banques centrales aux bullions banks pour gonfler artificiellement l'offre d'or sur le marché )

et la délégation anglaise de trainer du pied.. expliquant qu'on a déja basardé un an de production mondiale d'or sur le marché ....

Citation :

The minutes show committee members acknowledging the heavy involvement of central banks in gold leasing, with the British delegate estimating that a year's worth of gold production already had been sold forward.

c'est d'autant plus savoureux cette réflexion de la délégation anglaise .. quand on sait ce qui s'est passé à peine 2 ans plus tard ..

vente de la quasi totalité des réserves d'or de la BOE au plus bas du cours de l'or .. 250 $ l'once ..


et cerise sur le gateau : figurez vous que lors de ce G7 DE 1997, un certain Tony Blair venait juste de prendre ses fonctions en tant que 1er ministre ( le sortant étant John Major)
..avec bien évidemment G. Brown en ministre des finances ( chancelier de l'échiquier, selon la terminologie british )

pour mémo et sur la vente d'or banque d'angleterre au plus bas du spot
, à 250 $, par l'ami G. Brown

bref.. ce document OFFICIEL confirme en tout point les thèses et travaux que ménent le Gata depuis 1999


la vérité est en marche

et on le doit à l'inlassable travail de pionniers comme Murphy, Powell, Butler qui se sont battu, et se battent encore pour ça

G-10 minutes from 1997 show central bankers conspiring about gold


Submitted by cpowell on Fri, 2011-02-18 22:35. Section: Documentation
3:43p MT Friday, February 18, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Western government and central bank officials discussed coordinating their gold market policies at a private meeting of the G-10 Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee in April 1997, according to minutes of the meeting released to GATA today by the Federal Reserve Board upon the order of a federal court. The minutes also quote a U.S. delegate as warning that a rising gold price would increase the U.S. government's debt burden.
The document was only one of many whose release was sought by GATA in its freedom-of-information lawsuit against the Fed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The judge, Ellen Segal Huvelle, ruled two weeks ago that other documents containing the Fed's gold-related secrets were exempt from disclosure under the law.
The G-10 committee minutes were compiled by New York Fed official Dino Kos and were transmitted to the Fed's Board of Governors by Edwin M. Truman, then director of the Fed's International Finance Division and a participant in the meeting.
They quote a British delegate as saying that while the gold price seemed "sluggish," the gold market itself was actually showing "resilience" and "physical demand is high." The British delegate described the gold market as "traditionally secretive."
The minutes show committee members acknowledging the heavy involvement of central banks in gold leasing, with the British delegate estimating that a year's worth of gold production already had been sold forward. That was 14 years ago and of course much central bank gold leasing followed until the last year or so.
According to the minutes, the U.S. delegate cited above, identified only as "Fisher" -- apparently Peter R. Fisher, head of open market operations and foreign exchange trading for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York -- also warned that central bank gold sales and leasing might be construed as positive for gold. The minutes say: "First, he noted that some market cynics viewed central bank activity as a contrary indicator and therefore one had to be conscious of possible feedback effects. Second, he noted that the price of gold, unlike other commodities, had historically not trended toward the cost of production. This seemed to suggest an ongoing supply/demand imbalance. Third, he had the sense that the gold leasing market was an important component in this puzzle, though he did not understand enough about that market, particularly the credit risk aspects of gold lending."
A Canadian delegate, the minutes say, wondered whether data about the gold market could be trusted -- a point much pressed by GATA and others lately.
U.S. delegate Fisher, the minutes say, "explained that U.S. gold belongs to the Treasury. However, the Treasury had issued gold certificates to the Reserve Banks, and so gold (by these means) also appears on the Federal Reserve balance sheet. If there were to be a revaluation of gold, the certificates would also be revalued upwards; however [to prevent the Fed's balance sheet from expanding] this would lead to sales of government securities. So the net benefit to Treasury would need to be carefully calculated, since sales of government securities would expand the public portfolio of government securities and hence also expand the Treasury's debt-servicing burden."
This seems to be as candid an acknowledgement as any of the U.S. government's profound interest in suppressing the price of gold.
Two years after the G-10's Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee discussed coordinating Western central bank policies toward gold, most of those central banks announced just such a formal mechanism of cooperation, the Washington Agreement on Gold:
http://www.ecb.int/press/pr/date/1999/html/pr990926.en.html
The minutes of the April 1997 meeting of the G-10 Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee, which the Fed sought to conceal, along with the secrecy on which the Fed successfully has insisted for its other gold records, are powerful confirmations of Western central bank interest in controlling the gold market surreptitiously. The minutes have been posted at GATA's Internet site here:

ENORME!!! La FED condamnée à payer $2,870 au GATA

Le Metropole Members,

For illegally withholding gold information, Fed pays GATA

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

The Federal Reserve System this week paid GATA $2,870 in attorney's fees and costs for illegally withholding a gold-related document GATA sought in its federal freedom-of-information request and lawsuit against the Fed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

While the judge in the case, Ellen Segal Huvelle, allowed the Fed to withhold most of the gold-related documents GATA sought (http://www.gata.org/node/9560), the document she ordered disclosed, the minutes of a secret meeting of the G-10 Gold and Foreign Exchange Committee in April 1997, showed Western central bankers conspiring to coordinate their gold market policies:

http://www.gata.org/node/9623

GATA's freedom-of-information request also elicited an admission from a member of the Fed's Board of Governors, Kevin M. Warsh, that the Fed has gold swap arrangements with foreign banks and insists on keeping those arrangements secret:

http://www.gata.org/files/GATAFedResponse-09-17-2009.pdf

From what GATA's case extracted from the Fed and from what the case showed the Fed was determined to keep secret, it now has been established on the official record that the Fed and likely the U.S. Treasury Department too are heavily involved in surreptitious action to suppress the gold price. Thanks to GATA, financial journalists now have plenty of documentation to pursue the story of gold price suppression:

http://www.gata.org/taxonomy/term/21

All they need now is the courage to pursue it.

GATA continues to approach many news organizations to urge them to pursue this story.

A letter from the Fed's associate general counsel, Katherine H. Wheatley, to GATA's lawyers, William J. Olson and John S. Miles of William J. Olson, P.C., of Vienna, Virginia (http://www.lawandfreedom.com/), conveying the check for the attorneys' fees and costs, has been posted here:

http://www.gata.org/files/FedLetterLegalCosts.jpg

A copy of the Fed's check payable to GATA has been posted here:

http://www.gata.org/files/FedCheckLegalCosts.jpg

Of course the attorneys' fees and costs paid to GATA by the Fed are just a small fraction of the total costs incurred by GATA in the case. To cover those costs, to explore more legal action against the Fed and other government agencies, and to continue its work generally, GATA is always grateful for financial contributions, which are federally tax-deductible in the United States:

GATA urges Paul to probe Fed's gold swaps; he tells CNBC he will

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Yesterday GATA Chairman Bill Murphy and your secretary/treasurer met in Washington with U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Subcomittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, and two of his staff members. We reviewed GATA's work and the information produced by our recent successful freedom-of-information lawsuit against the Federal Reserve and urged him to press the Fed for accountability, particularly in regard to its manipulation of the gold market, its involvement with the U.S. gold reserve, and its secret gold swap arrangements, the latter admitted to GATA by Fed Governor Kevin M. Warsh as we began our litigation in 2009:
http://www.gata.org/node/8192
Paul told us that he planned to address these issues at hearings of his subcommittee in June on legislation to audit the U.S. gold reserve, and he elaborated this afternoon in an 11-minute interview with CNBC. Paul told CNBC:
"I'd sort of like to see how much gold is actually there and whether we've made any agreements to loan out our gold or sell the gold, because there's a lot of questions about that. As a matter of fact, I'm going to have hearings on having a true audit of the gold, and they're very, very resistant to that. But if the gold is all there and there are no attachments to the gold, what's the big deal? Why shouldn't the people know that it's there?"
Paul added in the CNBC interview that his broader objectives include getting the Fed out of central economic planning, getting the United States out of its fantastically expensive foreign military adventures, and allowing people to keep more of the fruit of their labor.
GATA will be providing information to Paul's office for possible use in interrogation of the Fed.

A lire absolument cet article de Robert Wenzel, qui remet pas mal de choses en place, dont une que je n'avais pas relevé :
l'or détenu à NY n'est pas du tout celui du trésor US, mais et pour la plus grande partie, l'or stocké pour le compte d'autres nations !
La différence est de taille, puisque les réserves des US sont stockées à Fort Knox, West point et Denver

https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/koos-jansen/us-government-lost-7-fort-knox-gold-audit-reports/

Koos Jansen rapporte ce soir que la Monnaie américaine lui a fourni certains documents en réponse à sa demande de renseignements sur les documents relatifs aux audits de la réserve aurifère américaine entre 1973 et 2008, mais les documents fournis sont incomplets  et surtout sur les 1200 pages promises en échange d'un chèque fort disuasif de 3144 $ ,
il n'en a reçu que 134
la Monnaie a donc remboursé son paiement.

Comme l'argent pour son paiement a été soulevé par crowdfunding de ses lecteurs, Jansen a évidemment remboursé leurs contributions


faire toute une obstruction, demander un chéque de plus de 3000$, pour ne finalement délivrer que 134 pages, c'est se moquer du monde!


En outre et sur les documents analysés par Koos, il a pu relevé de nombreuses erreurs dans l'évaluation des quantités ou poids des barres  : à croire que les audits sont faits par des amateurs !
