Ole buddy ole pal, you may be the salt of the earth but your musical taste is a grand disaster.  I’d rather get hung by my thumbs than listen to Tiny Tim sing!

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Now we’ve seen everything….

A year ago, interviewed on TheStreet.com’s “Wall Street Confidential” Internet television program, Jim Cramer, the manic host of CNBC’s “Mad Money” program, confessed to market manipulation during his days as a hedge fund manager:

But on his “Mad Money” program on CNBC yesterday Cramer spent seven minutes interviewing and praising Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, for seeking to make market manipulation by the Federal Reserve into a campaign issue.

Maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised. Back in July a reporter for the Las Vegas Sun, Michael J. Mishak, reflected on a recent Paul campaign rally in that city and remarked that the candidate owned “the whiplash point” in American politics where “the far right meets the far left”:

Yesterday on “Mad Money” Cramer agreed with Paul that the Fed gets almost no scrutiny from Congress even as it is a creature of law made by Congress. Paul commented that the Fed is “more secretive than the CIA,” adding that no one really knows if the U.S. government still has its gold reserves — an issue of great interest lately to GATA.

Paul said that there is “no accountability” in the U.S. monetary system and blamed the Fed’s manipulation of market interest rates for the recent stock market and housing bubbles.

The congressman, a member of the House Banking Committee who is often considered a conservative, praised the chairman of the committee, Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal Democrat from Massachusetts, for being receptive to holding more hearings about the Fed’s operations.

So if you support more openness and accountability in government and smashing the plutocracy that controls the country’s finances and siphons away a huge share of its actual production, are you a liberal or a conservative or what? Or is it possible that you might just be an ordinary American attempting to be a patriot and decent human being?

Whatever you are, you can find Cramer’s gushing over Paul yesterday at YouTube here:

Since Ment’s a long-term investor I’ll bet he’s hoarding his best tulips in anticipation of another Dutch Tulip Bubble.  Since the last one happened in the 1600’s we are probably due for another soon. 

It appears that we’re not addicted….just dedicated and in constant search for validation of what we know the TRUTH to be, huh?.

Cheers!

illiterate…do I need to establish a gold tent email address to access yours? You say I could list my email address in the sidebar…and where might that be? I can find the email link that tells me how to set up a goldtent email address…is that the key??

I got the same message with a 26, so guess I don’t need a sponsor yet to get the monkey off my back. Of course, it helps to have a spouse with the same interests and in the same room..

mrs aurum and I worked in the kitchen with this seafood recipe - we used colossal scallops. Our notes are at bottom. The recipe is golden or I would not post. Original idea from a restaurant in Key West I believe.

his tulips, since the tulips probably mark the location where his PM bars are buried.

I guess I’m allright for now. I scored 30 and received message as follows:

“You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.”

Geeeeez! What a relief!
