◄$$$ MARTIN ARMSTRONG IS WRONGLY IMPRISONED FOR KNOWING TOO MUCH ABOUT WALL STREET CORRUPTION AND GOLD PRICE FIXING, BUT HE SENDS WORD THAT EXTREME DISRUPTIONS COME TO THE US FINANCIAL MARKETS BY JULY $$$. GATA Chairman Bill Murphy had a conversation in January 2000 with the international financial adviser, Martin Armstrong. He once presided over Princeton Economics Intl, a renowned investment research firm that was noted for its Japanese fixed income clients. The gold cartel involves not only financial fraud and constant regulatory violations, but also alleged murder. What follows is the account by Bill Murphy entitled " Conversations With Marty Armstrong Before He Was Thrown In Jail" unfortunately. See the Greenspun LUSENET article (CLICK HERE).

" My phone conversation with Armstrong touched on many subjects. I mostly just listened, my mouth wide open most of the time, as the conversation centered around such subjects as Armstrong' s receiving death threats from the Japanese, the billionaire' s club that manipulates the metals markets, incriminating Republic Bank tapes, bribes paid in Thailand, the Japanese and Republic Bank, the persecution of his family, including his 81-year-old mother, and the efforts of the US Attorney' s office efforts to deprive him of his First and Fifth Amendment rights. The scariest part of the conversation was about Edmond Safra, the recently murdered Republic Bank founder. Martin knew which phone lines that Safra spoke on directly to the Republic traders. According to Armstrong, ' All the conversations about every manipulation you ever wanted to hear are there.' He said that the problem was that 10 days after he told the feds that he was after sensitive information that would expose the manipulations, Safra died mysteriously in Monaco. This is not kid' s stuff we are talking about here… I told him that we [at GATA] felt that the collusion involved certain New York bullion dealers with the help of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the US Treasury Dept. We were planning to get together to determine some sort of relationship. He told us that he could provide evidence (tapes and documents) that the metals markets in New York have been manipulated. Naturally, smoking-gun information of that nature is of great interest to us." Then Armstrong was sent to prison on absurd fabricated charges. The lid on incriminating information is still on.
