Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy will be the guest on Bloomberg TV Asia's "Asia Confidential" program with moderator Bernard Lo from 10 to 11 p.m. ET Thursday. The show tried to get someone from the gold market establishment to debate Murphy about the specifics of the gold price suppression scheme, but, predictably enough, there were no takers.

Kitco gold market analyst Jon Nadler said he was washing his hair, Dennis Gartman of The Gartman Letter said he was still trying to find his, and World Gold Council Chairman Aram Shishmanian said he'd love to but had a conflicting appointment to interview several high-fashion models at a bar in London's Mayfair section for the council's forthcoming advertising campaign for gold body piercings.

So Lo just offered more airtime time to Murphy.
