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.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Interviewed this week by Liberty and Finance's Dunagun Kaiser, GATA board member Ed Steer, proprietor of Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Digest letter, says the sharp rise in gold's price and the frantic movements of gold around the world in recent months signify the collapse of the derivatives system of price suppression.
Steer adds that inventories of silver are "perilously low" and much higher prices are likely soon.

The White House on Friday said it will fast-track permitting for 10 mining projects across the United States as part of President Donald Trump's push to expand critical minerals production.
The projects -- which would supply copper, antimony, and other minerals -- have been granted FAST-41 status, a federal initiative launched in 2015 to streamline approvals of critical infrastructure.

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver
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.

The White House said it will add more projects.
The initial 10 are listed on a U.S. federal website --

Trump Is Reported Planning to Replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chairman with Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh
By Bryan Mena and Elisabeth Buchwald
CNN, New York
via Yahoo News, Sunnyvale, California
Friday, April 18, 2025
President Donald Trump on Thursday again made clear his disdain for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, going so far as to say the central banker's "termination can't come fast enough" and saying in an Oval Office event that Powell will "be out of there real fast" if the president wants to replace him.
While many experts say the president does not in fact have the power to fire the Fed chief for policy differences, Trump has made clear he's willing to break with norms and precedent, even in the face of potentially monumental repercussions.

Regardless, the leading contender to lead the U.S. central bank under Trump, whether at the end of Powell's term in May 2026 or earlier, reportedly appears to be Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor who previously was under consideration to be Trump's Treasury secretary for the president's second term and was a candidate for the top job at the Fed during Trump's first term. ...

According to the latest survey of fund managers by Bank of America, 49% say gold is the most crowded trade.

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/.
However, there's a problem here. The fund managers responding to this survey clearly don't know much about the gold market. My guess is they have not positioned their clients for the rise in gold and are lashing out against bullion's rise.
Gold is by no means a crowded trade, as we will show today. Central banks are driving this bull market in gold. Retail and institutional investors have barely gotten involved (yet). ...

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
We are so close to victory now. Gold is all over mainstream financial news organizations now even as they strive not to expose the real reasons for the monetary metal's spectacular rise: the collapse of the derivatives-based gold price suppression system.
Gold price suppression is almost a respectable topic now, even if GATA is still not respectable enough to get mentioned by mainstream financial news organizations even as we pummel them every day with evidence of their dishonesty.

Money Metals Exchange, a national bullion dealer recently named "Best Overall" by Investopedia.com --

-- is a great low-cost source for precious metals coins, rounds, and bars. Money Metals also pays handsomely when you wish to sell your precious metals.
Shop online with Money Metals Exchange here --

-- or by calling 1-800-800-1865.
Meanwhile, Money Metals Depository will store your precious metals in a segregated account at low cost:

So please help us stay in the fight all the way to victory: free and transparent markets in the monetary metals and limited and accountable government.
Our friends at Money Metals Exchange in Eagle, Idaho, support our struggle so much that they have minted a beautiful 1-ounce silver round honoring GATA -- and they want you to have at least one.
On the front of the round is an engraving copied from the GATA painting by Alain Despert, depicting GATA as a modern-day Don Quixote leading a march of gold and silver advocates on the U.S. Treasury Department building in Washington:
https://www.gata.org/sites/default/files/GATA-silver-round-front.png
The back of the round shows the torch of liberty breaking the chains of price suppression and recognizing gold and silver as the crucial defenders of liberty:

You can purchase the GATA commemorative silver round from Money Metals Exchange for around $34 here:
https://www.moneymetals.com/gata-silver-round-1-troy-ounce-999-pure/1873
But if you'd like to help GATA directly, each donation of $250 to GATA will entitle the donor to one of these silver rounds, which GATA will arrange to have shipped to the donor from Money Metals Exchange, which is now the operator of the largest precious metals depository in the United States west of New York, a depository larger than even Fort Knox.
Your gift today will propel GATA's important work, and we'll be very grateful for it.
We just need to remind donors that the metal value of each of the rounds they receive as thanks for their donation must be subtracted from federal tax-deductibility of their contribution to GATA. For example, with the silver round priced at $34, a $250 donation made to GATA would be federally tax-deductible for $216.
Of course these silver rounds are likely to increase in value along with the silver price in the years ahead -- another reason to consider supporting GATA this way.
So please consider making a donation to GATA tonight, especially now that this special 25th anniversary GATA silver round is available to memorialize it.
To donate, please mail a check payable to GATA to:
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.

Manchester, Conn. 06043-7541 USA
Or visit GATA's internet site here:
