Le Metropole Members,

GATA needs help, so please consider buying a T-shirt

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Challenging all the money and power in the world, GATA long has operated more or less on a shoestring. This has largely been our own fault, insofar as we have put most of our effort into research and clamor and little into fundraising. The situation has gotten critical over the last year as central banks have intensified their efforts to suppress monetary metals prices, most of the monetary metals mining industry has chosen to curl up and die guietly rather than fight back, and metals investors have suffered serious losses.

Since we’re fanatics in pursuit of free and transparent markets, limited and accountable government, and fair dealing among nations, we’re not discouraged at all. We have evidence that our work has had a substantial impact, influencing government policy and market opinion around the world despite a blackout in the mainstream financial news media. And it is a bit of a triumph for us that central banks intervening against the monetary metals have had to give up all subtlety for their interventions since April last year. They have gotten more scared of losing control of the markets they have been rigging than they are scared of getting caught, but the more they are caught, the less effective their rigging will be and the more likely they will be to lose control completely. Europe

GATA means to keep pressing them and we don’t need a lot simply to stay in business and keep the flag flying. We don’t have the expense of the World Gold Council’s lovely offices in downtown London and its many highly paid employees. We can continue to operate on the electricity, telephone, and Internet service in our executives’ homes.

But our officers do make considerable sacrifices of their time — they are stuck in this struggle for its duration — and with more resources we can do more research, support the work of our consultants, make more presentations to the people who most should learn what’s really going on, undertake more lawsuits, and strike more blows for the cause.

This is not a general fundraising appeal. Our side is probably hurting too much for that and we’re not going to keep exploiting our best friends. Rather, it’s just the preface to our announcement that a hundred more GATA T-shirts are available for sale at $30 each, plus a small shipping charge, thereby facilitating smaller contributions that will give donors a little tangible evidence of their support.

The shirts are emblazoned with the colorful GATA painting by Alain Despert and are available in medium, large, and extra-large sizes. If we sell them all, we’ll recover the cost of their manufacture and our merchandise fulfillment house’s processing cost and come out ahead by a thousand dollars or so.

They can be viewed and purchased by credit card at GATA’s Internet site here: http://gata.org/tshirts

There was a series of Posts I made in 2012 referring to Advertising of Rambus Chart Service had Administration addressed the questions directly this could have been avoided.I received a lot of silence from the Administration team.The question at the Bottom was the First to address it.I never mentioned Rambus name or the quality of his work ,simply wanted the question of advertising addressed.

thumbs up for the new site

Can anything be retrieved from what appears to be missing or lost from the Goldtent site side bar articles. pics etc?

one of the best gifts on my birthday this week (7-17) was the birth of the OASIS!

A huge Thank You for those who made our new home possible!

Really good to hear from so many posters we do not often hear from.

If Rambus site is so successful and using 80% he can support his site himself and this all wouldn’t of happened.

Sonce this site and private pay was not supposed to be incorporating soliciting for personal profit and perhaps why not mentioned  I don’t know, might as well get advertisements on the side bar since it’s been going on in one form or another anyways. That would perhaps cover the future cost to Rambus since the tent will be no longer be covering it not should have to. But hey he at least offered a discount to Tenters didn’t he, although that’s to those who actually signed up and contributed too and would cost them more in the long run and profits would have to succeed expenses after taxes to make a profit instead if a loss although that’s not guaranteed. That just for those who knew about it in the first place.

I voted with my FEET

Of course this is what I am here to dispute

and The email states in plain language that I and Todd are Crooks

and that we somehow conspired to steal tentathon money for our own use

Here again are a summary of the facts

Because I wont stand accused and convicted without a response

The Rambus Site was started in late 2011 ..the early amout of traffic (for 1 year at least)

was negligible

Todd used the Same server as Goldtent because it was easier to manage

We had no real expectations..we just wanted to see if there was interest in Rambus work on a pay site

Turns out there was ..and the rambus site became busier

We then decided to pay a % of the server fee

which of course I have detailed in previous posts here

There is NO doubt we have paid our fair share of the server costs

we did not set out to hide the fact we were on the same server

It was just done for expedience at a time when we had no idea Rambus would become in such demand

In fact IF we had not paid our fair share of server costs Wanka would be correct in stating we were

hiding something

Nothing is further fro the truth

having said all this..I am very happy to see the tent resurrected

I have spent a huge amount of energy and heart and soul on this site

Thousands of sidebar links

hundreds of hours monitoring the site and welcoming new members

and my favorite accomplishment…the Locator

are not diminished by one mans mission to discredit his partners

the post below is malicious in its intent

Moggy just said it best

let go of the bad

Is this post a basis for the foundation of a successful venture

Interesting Thanks! 🙂

Don’t mean to butt in,  but this is going in circles.

The post below  from Jul 18th adds further clarification for the reasons  for the migration to the Oasis.

Well, I might as well join the crowd.  Hello to everyone.    Pleased to be here.  Still ” Lurking”.   I’m retired now and have moved from Hollywood to Mendocino County, Northern California.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Purslane has more health benefits than your beans!

Health benefits of Purslane
◾
This wonderful green leafy vegetable is very low in calories (just 16 kcal/100g) and fats; nonetheless, it is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

◾
Fresh leaves contain surprisingly more omega-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) than any other leafy vegetable plant. 100 grams of fresh purslane leaves provide about 350 mg of α-linolenic acid. Research studies show that consumption of foods rich in ω-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and help prevent the development of ADHD, autism, and other developmental differences in children.

◾
It is an excellent source of Vitamin A, (1320 IU/100 g, provides 44% of RDA) one of the highest among green leafy vegetables. Vitamin A is a known powerful natural antioxidant and is essential for vision. This vitamin is also required to maintain healthy mucus membranes and skin. Consumption of natural vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin A is known to help to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.

◾
Purslane is also a rich source of vitamin C, and some B-complex vitamins like riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and carotenoids, as well as dietary minerals, such as iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and manganese.

◾
Furthermore, present in purslane are two types of betalain alkaloid pigments, the reddish beta-cyanins and the yellow beta-xanthins. Both pigment types are potent anti-oxidants and have been found to have anti-mutagenic properties in laboratory studies. [Proc. West. Pharmacol. Soc. 45: 101-103 (2002)].

when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

purslane is good in soups, salads, and stir-frys.

plus, it has lots of nutrients!

This is both a Horoscope (the birthchart of an entity) and an Event chart.

The Sun in the 9th house describes the nature of the event. This is the house of formality…and of ethics. It rules dissemination of knowledge and circulation of ideas. The event itself will be a matter of the house he is in, allied to a matter ruled by the house that he rules. The Sun rules Leo, the sign on the 10th house of honor and dishonor, position or standing in the community and thus reputation.

The Sun makes but two aspects: Square to Mars and conjunction to Jupiter.

Sun in Cancer in the 9th house square Mars in Libra in the 12th house is the aspect of one who strives in an attempt to overcome some sort of sabotage (12th house). As the aspect is only 43′ from exact it indicates significant conflicts shortly after inception.

Sun conjunction Jupiter brings a period of optimism, increased ambition and positive outlook on life.   Take care not to take on more than you can handle.

The activity in the event is of the nature of the house the Moon is in, and based on something ruled by the house where Cancer is found. The Moon in Aries is posited in the 6th house of upsetting and distressing conditions and actions relating to ethical behavior (9th house). The activity itself of the Moon in Aries is pioneering and self-reliant, positive and often defiant, taking the offensive or assuming charge; it is fast-moving, pace-setting, and physical.

The Moon was last over Neptune, which sabotages through ambivalence (opposing attitudes). Its first applying aspect will be a square to Pluto in the 3rd house of communications. Best advice would be to leave bad enough alone.

Got it in my e-mail, and it seems to have worked.

Too bad I don’t have much to say!

Have to deal with an invasion of purslane that has taken hold in my bean patch!

enough of the he said – she said and fingerpointing.    i doubt i’m the only one who’s tired of hearing about it!  meet at dawn with swords or waterpistols.  get a room and make up.  anything, but not here.

thanks for shutting up.

Yes

the $840 from the Jan Tentathon applies to the May 2013 to May 2014 period

BUT

what about the $2400 extra I paid do complete the migration to the new server

who reimbursed me for that

nobody did..

1….because there was NO tentathon since Jan 2013

SO I paid $2400 to secure the new server (it would have been $3240…but we got credit for $840)

NOBODY paid for the remaining $2400 paid in May 2013…clearly there has been no tentathon to cover this

I am NOT asking for anybody to pay me back

NOT at all..I made the decision to cover this myself and Rambus Chartology paid me a portion of this

so as far as I am concerned everything is hunky dorey

except or the fact you continue to imply I or we cheated the tent !

We paid more than our fair share not less !

Again its simple I paid an extra $2400 in May 2013 and there was not a tentathon to cover this portion

good day

Mr Copper,  Ipso and Wanka,

Don’t know why but I haven’t had to re-log in every time I come to the Oasis after computer shut down.  When I reset my password from the computer generated one I just checked the “remember me “button.

I am using an old Mac with an outdated Safari.   ??

Note to Winedoc: On link above, click on “More information” and then peak at “Photo galleries” for some nice views of subalpine and alpine landscapes in this old mining area.

Moogy gets it right. Now, Moogy, lets see your results and what we are up against. Moogy correctly decides the Oasis true birth date….and this from a Woman of all things.

Time to move ahead .  Goldtent was a great home but the Oasis is our new one. Most important to move ahead and not look back at what once was.  To Fully, thanks for helping out at the Tent and hope to see you post again here.  I particularly enjoyed seeing and reading all the “old faces’ checking into out new home. It was almost like the “Circus was in town feeling”  for me. Let’s keep it up. As the world continues to fall apart, there is a need for an “oasis” like ours. We will have the ability to help many get through the tough times ahead.  Long live the Oasis!

and behave Tilly.

We’re going to the Oasis

Wanka, I agree with your accurate guess and thank you for the information.  As you said:

my best guess is when we went public.
the one post in may by our webmaster i think is when the program wordpress 3.9.1 was downloaded.
june is when we tested the heck out of it and refined it smoothed it and got all and any of the bugs out and made it what you see and into
july went further the testing and then imho it was
birthed when the founder letter was issued at
14:15 hours on july 17, 2014.
