Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

This month GATA will place a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal calling attention to the international central bank scheme to suppress the price of gold and to GATA’s conference in Washington in April.

The ad was devised with great care by GATA’s Board of Directors over the last several weeks and The Wall Street Journal today confirmed to GATA that it will publish the ad as submitted. In the belief that this ad can strike a profound blow against the rigging of the gold market and all related markets, GATA has cobbled together assets valued at the more than quarter-million dollars to be charged by the newspaper for printing the ad and expects to convert them to U.S. dollars and make payment to the newspaper next week.

You can see the advertisement here:

Please distribute the ad to anyone who might be interested in it.

GATA is not asking for contributions to underwrite the ad particularly. But if you approve of GATA’s work generally (and would like to help us get our children back), you can learn how to support GATA financially here:
