The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was organized in January 1999 to advocate and undertake litigation against illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial securities. The committee arose from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator, and by Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut, published at Murphy’s Internet site, www.lemetropolecafe.com.

In this hard-hitting interview, precious metals expert David Morgan exposes how the Comex and paper silver contracts are distorting true silver prices -- leaving retail investors misled and market fundamentals ignored.
From the gold-silver ratio sitting at historic extremes to the manipulation of physical delivery through cash settlements, David breaks down the critical problems behind the scenes.
Learn why physical silver remains the only real hedge, and what the massive global vault movements could mean for the future:

Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.
Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.
With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
At the Daily Reckoning today financial analyst and author James G. Rickards takes note of the annual BRICS+ leaders conference to be held in Brazil next weekend. The conference won't produce a new gold-backed currency, Rickards writes, but it doesn't have to, since the BRICS+ countries are already treating gold itself as a currency.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
On this week's edition of Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program, London metals trader Andrew Maguire says the international shift from gold derivatives to physical gold is hastening, led by China and the BRICs countries.

The Gold Tree of Life in the popular 1-ounce format, along with the Gold Tree of Life 0.1-ounce and the Silver Tree of Life 1-ounce, are now available from Tara Coins directly or from authorized distributors in the United States and worldwide.
The Gold and Silver Trees of Life are the first 99.99% Irish bullion rounds and are truly sovereign (non-legal tender) coins. They are beautiful and limited in mintage and supply, making them highly desirable as gifts, collectible coins, and -- most importantly -- as stores of value.
Tara Coins is a designer, wholesaler, and retailer of Irish bullion products, selling beautiful, collectible, store-of-value, 99.99% pure Irish silver and gold bullion.
GATA supporter Money Metals Exchange is now one of Tara Coins' leading distributors in the U.S. and is selling all the Gold and Silver Trees of Life coins for delivery or storage at its vault in Idaho.
For more information about Tara Coins' Gold and Silver Trees of Life, including minimum order sizes and premiums to purchase them, please contact us at [email protected] or visit us at https://www.taracoins.com/.
At the program's 15-minute mark, Maguire also calls attention to a report published by metals consultancy CPM Group in 2000 and highlighted by GATA board member Adrian Douglas in 2010:
https://www.gata.org/node/8627
The report, "Bullion Banking Explained," was effectively an admission from inside the bullion banking industry that it was using the futures markets to create vast supplies of imaginary gold that suppressed the price of the monetary metal. CPM Group, Maguire says, has tried to conceal that report but it remains at GATA's internet site. Maguire says the fraudulent regime of the bullion banking industry is coming to an end.

The safety of Germany's gold reserves held overseas and in New York in particular, until recently mainly a talking point for the country's far-right party and gold bugs, is becoming a matter of public debate with Donald Trump back in the White House.
The Bundesbank, Germany's central bank, has the world's second largest stock of gold at 3,352 tonnes. One-third of it is stored at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for reasons dating back to the Cold War and the monetary system created in the wake of World War II.

Those holdings have occasionally attracted scrutiny in the past, and the right-wing Alternative for Germany has embraced calls for a return of the country's gold back home.
U.S. President Donald Trump's confrontations with longstanding allies over trade and security, and his attacks on the Fed, have revived the issue in recent weeks and more mainstream voices have joined the debate.
Germany's Taxpayers Federation sent letters this week to the Bundesbank and the Finance Ministry calling on them to repatriate the gold stored in the United States.
"Trump wants to control the Fed, which would also mean controlling the German gold reserves in the U.S.," Michael Jaeger, the Taxpayers Federation's vice president, told Reuters. "It's our money. It should be brought back." ...

Deep in the mountains of northern Peru, a bloody war is being fought over gold. As its international price sets successive record highs above $3,000 an ounce, criminal gangs, illegal miners, and established mining companies battle over the metal.
The conflict is not fought out in the open but in a maze of tunnels that stretch for miles inside the mountains of Pataz, a gold-rich Andean province about 130 miles inland from Peru's third city, Trujillo.

Why is one of the most useful metals on Earth, and a former pillar of the monetary system, still trading like it's 1999?
You’d think with its essential role in solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and missile guidance systems, silver would have long ago joined gold in the four-digit club. But here we are: the metal that helped electrify the 20th century is still hanging around the low two-digit club, as if we’re still using Nokia phones instead of iPhones.

For decades, Asia's export powerhouses had a simple financial strategy: Sell goods to the United States, then invest the proceeds in American assets.
That model is now facing its biggest threat since the 2008 global financial crisis as Donald Trump tries to remake global trade and the U.S. economy -- upending the logic behind $7.5 trillion of investments from Asia. Some of the biggest money managers say an unwind is just getting started.

A selloff in the dollar after Trump slapped tariffs on most of the world had Taiwanese insurers reporting a $620 million loss in April alone. Then a surge of as much as 8.5% in the value of the Taiwan dollar over two days in early May raised the prospect of $18 billion in currency losses for their unhedged U.S. investments. ...

APOPKA, Florida -- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed into law a bill that will allow people in the Sunshine State to make transactions using gold and silver.
The U.S. dollar was originally backed by gold, known as the "gold standard." This practice ended nationwide in 1933 and the U.S. stopped the practice of exchanging gold for dollars in 1971.

DeSantis called the bill, HB 999, a "landmark piece of legislation." He said it gives Floridians "more independence," adding that they won't be "wedded to a fiat currency."
"If you bought a home in 1979, the average cost was $75,000; those were the days," said Rep. Doug Bankson. "If you bought that same home, that same product, now it would be $531,000. However, if you had bought that in gold in 1979, it would've been 268 ounces. Today,if you bought that home, 268 ounces. Why? Because it's a tangible thing that has true value."
Furthermore, sales tax will not apply to gold and silver and the new law will authorize money services businesses like PayPal to transmit and accept payments in gold and silver.
DeSantis said the metals will function as "real currency again" and not "just investment vehicles for the wealthy." He further stated that the law will give Florida residents the ability to protect themselves against "the declining dollar."
Less than a quarter of all states recognize gold and silver as legal tender currently, including Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, and Utah.
