Claire, do you have a List of unhedged Gold Producers???...
RBC manager endorses gold conspiracy theory
By ANDREW WILLIS AND CAROLINE ALPHONSO
Saturday, June 22, 2002 – Page B1
One of Canada's most successful money managers, Royal Bank of Canada's John
Embry, has become the poster boy for gold bugs after endorsing the concept
of a long-term central bank conspiracy to depress bullion prices.
In an eight-page report published on bank letterhead, and distributed
yesterday by U.S. conspiracy theorists, Mr. Embry set out the case of a
further rise in gold prices, a prediction made in part on "increasing
evidence of unsustainable gold price manipulation."
The successful gold fund manager said "statistics suggest that real
manipulation" of bullion prices began in 1995. Mr. Embry wrote: "Those with
a vested interest in containing the price of gold -- central banks, bullion
banks, heavily hedged gold companies -- will not die easily, but the tide is
moving strongly against them."
Like most central banks, the Bank of Canada has been a consistent seller of
gold in the past decade. Bank of Nova Scotia is among the world's largest
bullion banks, and Barrick Gold Corp. is the world's largest hedger.
Mark Arthur, head of Royal Bank Investment Management Inc., said Mr. Embry's
report was done for internal use and "in no way reflects the views of Royal
Bank."
Mr. Arthur described the paper as "a collection of various arguments for
gold stocks" that was part of a larger discussion on asset allocation at the
money manager.
Mr. Embry runs the Royal Precious Metals fund, which boasts $329-million in
assets and a stellar one-year return of 156 per cent, compared with a
90-per-cent average performance by its peers. He was not available
yesterday.
The eight-year RBC veteran also helps to manage four other large funds. And
as chairman of the bank's Canadian equity and stock selection committee, Mr.
Embry sets strategy for the $38-billion mutual fund family.
The theories endorsed by Mr. Embry have been pushed for years by groups such
as Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. (GATA) of Dallas.
The premise is that central banks -- mainly the U.S. Federal Reserve Board
-- stamp out any surge in gold prices to preserve confidence in the U.S.
dollar. The idea is that rising gold prices mean a lack of confidence in the
greenback, which they believe is the engine of U.S. economic imperialism.
Yesterday, GATA members trumpeted Mr. Embry's report as validation of their
claims, and said it showed that mainstream organizations are starting to
acknowledge that central banks have rigged gold sales to depress the price
of bullion.
"The establishment in the gold world is coming around to our central
premise: That central banks and particularly the U.S. Treasury Department
have been colluding surreptitiously and desperately to suppress the gold
price and manipulate the gold market," Chris Powell, secretary and treasurer
of GATA, told his members yesterday.
"Royal Bank has written a report that COMPLETELY ENDORSES all the GOLD
PRICE-FIXING allegations of GATA," GATA member Ed Steers said in an e-mail.
"I cannot overemphasize how huge a story this is!!!!"
GATA chairman Bill Murphy said RBC used information that his organization
has been collecting for the past three years.
"As far as we're concerned, it's tremendous credibility," Mr. Murphy said in
an interview. "It's fabulous. It explains the gold industry in a way that
you don't hear from most established organizations."
When told that the views of Mr. Embry don't necessarily reflect that of RBC,
Mr. Murphy said: "When you have a report, you can be sure that the report
can't go out without the approval of Royal Bank itself. This is one of the
most important reports ever written on the gold market. They understand the
dynamics being played out."
Mr. Embry's report, he said, gives "credibility" to gold bugs like himself,
who believe the price of gold has been manipulated. Mr. Murphy added: "Most
of the gold world thought we were idiots. It turns out we're right."
Gold changed hands yesterday at $324.60 (U.S.) an ounce, up $1.40 cents on
the day.
The price has risen steadily from around $260 a year ago, after spending the
better part of four years below $300.

>>> Should Bush resign, Part II?...
34. August, 2001 - President Bush receives classified intelligence briefings at his Crawford, TX ranch indicating that Osama bin Laden might be planning to hijack commercial airliners. [CBS News, CNN - May 15, 2001]
35. August/September, 2001 - The Dow Jones Industrial Average drops nearly 900 points in the three weeks prior to the attack. A major stock market crash is imminent.
36. August/September, 2001 - According to a detailed 13-page memo written by Minneapolis FBI legal officer SA Colleen Rowley FBI headquarters ignores urgent direct warnings from French intelligence services about pending attacks. In addition, a single Supervisory Special Agent in Washington expends extra effort to thwart the field office’s investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui, in one case rewriting Rowley’s affidavit for a search warrant to search Moussaoui’s laptop. Rowley’s memo uses terms like "deliberately sabotage," "block," "integrity," "omitted," "downplayed," "glossed over," "mis-characterize," "improper political reasons, "deliberately thwarting," "deliberately further undercut," "suppressed," and "not completely honest." These are not terms describing negligent acts but rather, deliberate acts. FBI field agents desperately attempted to get action to no avail. One agent speculated that bin Laden might be planning to crash airliners into the World Trade Center while Rowley ironically noted that the SSA who had committed these deliberate actions had actually been promoted after September 11th. [The AP, May 21, 2002].
37. Sept. 3-10, 2001 - MS-NBC reports on September 16 that a caller to a Cayman Islands radio talk show gave several warnings of an imminent attack on the U.S. by bin Laden in the week prior to 9/11.
38. Early September, 2001 - An FBI internal document, based upon field notes from Minnesota field agents discloses that the agents had been investigating and had questioned the "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui. The field notes speculate that Moussaoui, who had been taking flight lessons, might crash an airliner into the WTC. Interestingly, the field agents’ requests to obtain a search warrant for his personal computer were denied. French intelligence confirms to the FBI that Moussaoui has ties to terrorist groups and may have traveled to Afghanistan. The agents also had no knowledge of the Phoenix memo (See Item #14). One news story states that agents were in "a frenzy," absolutely convinced that he was "going to do something with a plane." [Source NEWSWEEK, May 20, 2002 issue - story by Michael Isikoff].
39. September 1-10, 2001 - In an exercise, Operation "Swift Sword" planned for four years, 23, 000 British troops are steaming toward Oman. Although the 9/11 attacks caused a hiccup in the deployment the massive operation was implemented as planned. At the same time two U.S. carrier battle groups arrive on station in the Gulf of Arabia just off the Pakistani coast. Also at the same time, some 17,000 U.S. troops join more than 23,000 NATO troops in Egypt for Operation "Bright Star." All of these forces are in place before the first plane hits the World Trade Center.

September 6-7, 2001 - 4,744 put options (a speculation that the stock will go down) are purchased on United Air Lines stock as opposed to only 396 call options (speculation that the stock will go up). This is a dramatic and abnormal increase in sales of put options. Many of the UAL puts are purchased through Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard.

42. September 10, 2001 - 4,516 put options are purchased on American Airlines as compared to 748 call options. [Source: ICT - above]
43. September 6-11, 2001 - No other airlines show any similar trading patterns to those experienced by UAL and American. The put option purchases on both airlines were 600% above normal. This at a time when Reuters (September 10) issues a business report stating, "Airline stocks may be poised to take off."
44. September 6-10, 2001 - Highly abnormal levels of put options are purchased in Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, AXA Re(insurance) which owns 25% of American Airlines, and Munich Re. All of these companies are directly impacted by the September 11 attacks. [Source: ICT, above; FTW, Oct. 18, 2001, http://www.fromthewilderness.com/

45. It has been documented that the CIA, the Israeli Mossad and many other intelligence agencies monitor stock trading in real time using highly advanced programs reported to be descended from Promis software. This is to alert national intelligence services of just such kinds of attacks. Promis was reported, as recently as June, 2001 to be in Osama bin Laden’s possession and, as a result of recent stories by FOX, both the FBI and the Justice Department have confirmed its use for U.S. intelligence gathering through at least this summer. This would confirm that CIA had additional advance warning of imminent attacks.

Law enforcement authorities have gone silent about any investigation of this.

It is not until 9:30 that any Air Force planes are scrambled to intercept, but by then it is too late.

Now, let’s go back to the October 31 story by Le Figaro - the one that has Osama bin Laden meeting with a CIA officer in Dubai this June.
The story says that, "Throughout his stay in the hospital, Osama Bin Laden received visits from many family members [There goes the story that he’s a black sheep!] and Saudi Arabian Emirate personalities of status. During this time the local representative of the CIA was seen by many people taking the elevator and going to bin Laden’s room.
"Several days later the CIA officer bragged to his friends about having visited the Saudi millionaire. From authoritative sources, this CIA agent visited CIA headquarters on July 15th, the day after bin Laden’s departure for Quetta…
"According to various Arab diplomatic sources and French intelligence itself, precise information was communicated to the CIA concerning terrorist attacks aimed at American interests in the world, including its own territory."…
"Extremely bothered, they [American intelligence officers in a meeting with French intelligence officers] requested from their French peers exact details about the Algerian activists [connected to bin Laden through Dubai banking institutions], without explaining the exact nature of their inquiry. When asked the question, "What do you fear in the coming days?’ the Americans responded with incomprehensible silence."…
"On further investigation, the FBI discovered certain plans that had been put together between the CIA and its "Islamic friends" over the years. The meeting in Dubai is, so it would seem, consistent with 'a certain American policy.’"
Even though Le Figaro reported that it had confirmed with hospital staff that bin Laden had been there as reported, stories printed on November 1 contained quotes from hospital staff that these reports were untrue. On November 1, as reported by the Ananova press agency, the CIA flatly denied that any meeting between any CIA personnel and Osama bin Laden at any time.

A TIMELINE SURROUNDING SEPTEMBER 11TH - IF CIA AND THE GOVERNMENT WEREN’T INVOLVED IN THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS WHAT WERE THEY DOING?
by Michael C. Ruppert
[© COPYRIGHT 2001, All Rights Reserved, Michael C. Ruppert and From The Wilderness Publications, www.fromthewilderness.com. May be copied and distributed for non-profit purposes only.]
[Expanded and Revised June 19, 2002 - Evidence of Bush Administration Foreknowledge and complicity is now overwhelming. 16 New Items Since Our Last Revision!]
FTW, November 2, 2001 - 1200 PST -- On October 31, the French daily Le Figaro dropped a bombshell. While in a Dubai hospital receiving treatment for a chronic kidney infection last July, Osama bin Laden met with a top CIA official - presumably the Chief of Station. The meeting, held in bin Laden’s private suite, took place at the American hospital in Dubai at a time when he was a wanted fugitive for the bombings of two U.S. embassies and this year’s attack on the U.S.S. Cole. Bin Laden was eligible for execution according to a 2000 intelligence finding issued by President Bill Clinton before leaving office in January. Yet on July 14th he was allowed to leave Dubai on a private jet and there were no Navy fighters waiting to force him down.
In 1985 Oliver North - the only member of the Reagan-Bush years who doesn’t appear to have a hand in the current war - sent the Navy and commandos after terrorists on the cruise ship Achille Lauro. In his 1991 autobiography "Under Fire," while describing terrorist Abu Abbas, North wrote, "I used to wonder: how many dead Americans will it take before we do something?" One could look at the number of Americans Osama bin Laden is alleged to have killed before September 11 and ask the same question.
It gets worse, much worse. A more complete timeline listing crucial events both before and after the September 11th suicide attacks, which have been blamed on bin Laden, establishes CIA foreknowledge of them and strongly suggests that there was criminal complicity on the part of the U.S. government in their execution. It also makes clear that the events which have taken place since September 11th are based upon an agenda that has little to do with the attacks.
[June 19, 2002] -- As the revelations of Bush Administration foreknowledge have progressed from silence, to trickle, to cascade, the question has now changed from forcing the evidence into the open into one of forcing both the media and the people to avoid denying this information in the hopes that their desire for a sense of "normalcy" can be fulfilled. As many of us have known for years, normalcy went out the window forever when the first plane hit the tower. And what has been revealed will not be resolved with an expensive fact-finding commission, a few firing, or even an impeachment proceeding. What is needed in America - and in the global economic system - is an overhaul, not a tune up. -- MCR
1. 1991-1997 - Major U.S. oil companies including ExxonMobil, Texaco, Unocal, BP Amoco, Shell and Enron directly invest billions in cash bribing heads of state in Kazakhstan to secure equity rights in the huge oil reserves in these regions. The oil companies further commit to future direct investments in Kazakhstan of $35 billion.

India plans war within two weeks)
By Rahul Bedi in New Delhi
(Filed: 06/06/2002)
Source:Telegraph.co.uk
India's military is seeking final authorisation to invade the Pakistani side of divided Kashmir in the middle of this month to destroy the camps of Islamic militants.
An activist of the All-India Anti-terrorist Front brandishes his rifle as he denounces Pakistan
The planned campaign would be similar to the American attack in Afghanistan, in which air strikes would be followed by ground assaults by special forces transported by helicopter, military sources said yesterday.
Smart bombs and other advanced ordnance are reported to have been loaded on to French-made Mirage 2000H and Russian-built MiG-27 aircraft at bases in northern and western India.
As Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, strengthened his warning to Britons to leave the region, military planners in Delhi expressed confidence that a war would not boil over into a nuclear exchange.
A senior Indian official accused Britain, America and other western countries of "adding their weight to Pakistan's nuclear blackmail" by telling their citizens to leave.
"This is jumping the gun," he said. "Our intention is not to have an all-out war. It would be a limited action."
Most senior Indian officers expect that the conflict would last about a week before pressure from America and other powers forced a ceasefire.
One officer said he believed there was only the "slimmest chance" of nuclear weapons being used. "We will call Pakistan's nuclear bluff," he said. It [the nuclear factor] cannot deter us any more."
The Indians want to move before the arrival of heavy monsoon rains at the beginning of July make military operations impossible.
The tension was underlined by the Foreign Office's second warning to Britons to leave the region.
Last week Mr Straw said they should "consider" leaving. Yesterday he said they "should" do so amid evidence that the first advice had been widely ignored. Officials say there are some 20,000 Britons in India, but unofficial estimates are much higher.
As America issued equally robust advice to its 60,000 citizens, a senior Indian planning officer said that Washington and London knew that action was imminent.
"The US-led move out of Delhi indicates that Washington has been informed of India's intentions of hitting Pakistan and is taking them seriously," he said.
Japan's foreign minister, Yoriko Kawaguchi, cancelled a trip to the region hours after speaking to Mr Straw. Tokyo refused to give a reason, saying only that "there were various considerations".
India's plan of attack is to seize and hold tracts of Pakistani Kashmir, providing the government with a much-needed military triumph and the military with improved defensive positions against Islamic militants.
Officers indicated that the air force was poised to execute a strategy developed over several years to strike at 50 to 75 militant bases and a handful of other targets in Kashmir.
The Indians would then send troops across the high mountain passes in helicopters. Planners expect major casualties as the helicopters cross four lines of Pakistani air defences equipped with advanced radar.
Targets will include a bridge across the Karakoram highway connecting China to the region and at least three others linking Pakistani Kashmir to the rest of the country.
Their destruction would prevent China from replenishing its ally Pakistan's weaponry. It would also cut off supply routes from Pakistan to front-line units.
India's broad strategy is to execute air strikes that will induce Pakistan into extending the conflict by opening a wider front.
President Bush telephoned both leaders to urge calm and the crisis dominated talks in London between Tony Blair and Donald Rumsfeld, the American defence secretary, who is on his way to India and Pakistan.
The two countries have massed more than a million men on their border since the crisis began with an attack by militants on the Indian parliament in December.
Relations worsened after another attack last month in which 22 wives and children of Indian army personnel were killed. In the latest diplomatic rebuff, Pakistan rejected an Indian offer to establish a joint border monitoring force to help halt incursions by Islamic militants into Indian-controlled Kashmir.
India's military believes that it now has political backing for war. An officer said the beleaguered ruling coalition was "fully aware" that backing down at this juncture would mean political suicide.
The Indian armed forces have been losing men for 13 years in fighting in Kashmir. By attacking soon, an officer said, they planned to set back Pakistan's military capability by at least 30 years, pushing it into the military "dark ages". India has assured Washington that its forces would give the American bases at Jacobabad, Pasni and Dalbandin close to the Afghan border a wide berth.
An army officer said: "Casualties in men and machines in such an operation will be high and the military has firmly told the politicians to prepare the nation for losses and delayed results, as fighting will be fierce."
Pakistan has concentrated the majority of its forces in Kashmir and would unleash its Scud-like Chinese M 9 and M 11 ballistic missile

After many weeks of coverage Truthseeker is dropping coverage on SHAL.
After going over the press release Garrett Krause is doing the right thing by actually doing a IPO and is going to file a registration on TheMovieSource.com with the SEC. This one could actually be successful.
"TheMovieSource.com intends to file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and conduct an initial public offering ("IPO") of its stock sometime in the future. However, TheMovieSource.com can provide no assurances that it will conduct an IPO, and is unable to comment at this time about the timing or any specifics of an IPO. Efforts to prepare a registration statement for filing are currently underway."
