On its “Geo-Economics” program this month, Russia’s biggest television network, Russia 24, interviewed your secretary/treasurer and former Assistant U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts about gold and commodity market rigging by Western governments. The interview with your secretary/treasurer took place while he was in Munich, Germany, to address a meeting of the German Precious Metal Society and the Foundation for Liberty and Ratio –

– which explains the Munich skyline in the background of the broadcast. The papers he brandishes at the beginning of the interview are the filings with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission confirming that central banks are secretly trading all U.S. futures markets:

– and the segment on gold and commodity market rigging begins at the 11-minute mark. To watch, click on the video start button on the image of the European Union flag, or, if the button doesn’t appear, just click on the image of the flag. You’ll have to sit through a brief commercial before the program begins.
This is at least the second time your secretary/treasurer and Roberts have been cited by Russia 24. Since the network is part of a Russian government-owned media company, these appearances may signify that the Russian government is not only aware of gold price suppression by Western governments but also doesn’t mind public discussion about it. With a speech by its deputy chairman in Moscow, the Bank of Russia publicly took note of GATA’s work as early as 10 years ago:
While gold and commodity market rigging by Western governments remains a prohibited topic in the mainstream Western financial news media, it is a legitimate topic elsewhere. With your help GATA will continue to press the issue everywhere.
