"...Along with financial news organizations, GATA's more prospective targets are 1) governments and central banks that might aspire to some sovereignty over their own economic affairs; 2) the gold and silver mining industry, which has yet to mobilize to defend itself; and, of course, 3) ordinary investors.

The industry may be the toughest target, as it seems to consider itself almost as omniscient as Casey, Christian, and Shedlock consider themselves.

For example, two months ago your secretary/treasurer sent a letter by international express mail to the chief executive officer of Goldcorp, which may be the biggest gold mining company in the world by market capitalization, asking if a GATA delegation might visit his office in Vancouver to make a brief presentation while the delegation was attending the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. The letter included a copy of one of the incriminating IMF documents cited above and invited an easy response by e-mail. But predictably enough there was no acknowledgment at all. Apparently even "No, thanks" typed by a secretary into an e-mail window required more courtesy than Goldcorp's CEO could spare. Even a "Go screw yourself" would have been more courteous and welcome.

Such conduct may win points for Goldcorp from its bankers, like JPMorganChase and HSBC --- key players in the monetary metals price suppression scheme, but maybe not so many points from the company's shareholders, who may wonder about the company's fiduciary duty to them....."
