Topic: Are we barking up the wrong tree.

  I recently sent an email to the Fed that laid out a
case that manipulating the price of gold to make the
dollar look stronger, was a fool's errand and doomed to
fail.

Their reply to me was that the strength of the dollar
was a Treasury Dept policy and that they responded
accordingly.  Is it possible that the underlying reason
for a long and consistent attack on gold is not a Fed
decision but a Treasury Dept one. Since Treasury
Secretaries change with regularity and the attack on
gold a long standing one (at least 10-11 years) it may
be that an entrenched senior bureaucrat at Treasury is
calling the shots on gold price movement - and as such
a key player in the gold cartel.

  Hi
thanks for your effort.
IMO, same tree. GATA has always
brought in the Treasury as part of the deal.
Larry Summers, etc.
What you got there is their raison d'etre -
Strong Dollar Policy.
Does not matter who is President.
all the best,
Bill

  Thanks for your take. You've been at this a lot longer
than I have.

  FYI.  This a quote from Fed Board in response to my
email to them on the manipulation of gold price.

"It is also important to note that the United States
Treasury Secretary serves as the official spokesperson
for the United States on matters pertaining to the
value of the dollar.
