Dear All,
While GATA is blackballed from appearing on CNBC in the U.S., CNBC Europe's Bernie Lo has always been accommodative and willing to present GATA's evidence of gold price manipulation. In an interview this morning with GATA's Sec/Treasure Chris Powell, Lo went so far as to state that Chris was "preaching to the choir."
There is also the disturbing matter of a U.S. CNBC interview with Salon's Alex Pareene on the criminal enterprise that is JPMorgan Chase. The interview is stunning for Maria Bartiromo's sweeping defense of the company's crimes since it "continues to churn out tens of billions of dollars in earnings for its shareholders." It is ghastly not only to hear Ms. Bartiromo defend criminal conduct on the basis that it is profitable but to watch her reveal herself as a soulless, moral pervert. Matt Taibbi and Majority Report's Sam Seder did a fine job of analyzing the performance and can be seen here.
