Bill Murphy brings his perspectives to Global Currency Watch in an interview with host Steven Ayer


Global Currency Watch is a program dedicated to monitoring the likelihood of the US Dollar being removed as the World's Reserve Currency in the years ahead.
 Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that Bill Murphy, Chairman and Director of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) will provide his insights to Global Currency Watch, a program hosted by Steven Ayer on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel: www.voiceamerica.com/show/1938/global-currency-watch on Thursday, August 2nd, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

About Global Currency Watch:
We are in the midst of a world-wide sovereign debt crisis, which will most likely result in the removal of the US Dollar as the World’s Reserve Currency by 2017. This possibility represents the single largest risk to the global economy and will open up the door for a new Global Currency to be established in its wake. If this does, in fact occur, the level of extreme volatility and uncertainty in our markets and across the global society will be unprecedented, but it won’t be all gloom and doom. The key to successfully navigating this environment will be to monitor the situation as it develops and to be able to understand the ramifications of the news in real time and that is precisely what this show is dedicated to! We may not be able to avoid this event, but we can certainly prepare for it!

Murphy grew up in Glen Ridge, N.J., and graduated from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University in 1968.

David Vletas, Geologist and Third Generation Texas Oil Man, Joins Té Revesz on Global Reach


Oil Can Help Save the Environment: David Vletas, a seasoned geologist and Texas oil producer, will appear on Global Reach on the VoiceAmerica Radio Network. He’ll talk with host Té Revesz about how developments in the U.S. oil industry can, paradoxically, help create a less hydrocarbon-dependent society.
 David Vletas, a seasoned geologist and Texas oil producer, will join Té Revesz, host of Global Reach on the VoiceAmerica Radio Network’s Business Channel ( www.voiceamerica.com/show/1984/global-reach) on Thursday, August 2, at 11am Pacific Time.

Can we ensure a secure US energy future while protecting the country’s natural resources, especially water? “Yes,” says third generation Texas oilman, David Vletas. “It’s a matter of best practices, rigorous regulatory enforcement – and common sense leadership.” On Global Reach, this oil industry insider will stake the seemingly paradoxical claim that oil industry development should play a vitally important role in creating a more environmentally responsible and less hydrocarbon-dependent society.

David Vletas, founder and CEO of Eagle Production Inc. (www.eagleproductionfund.com), will also discuss why water projects get short shrift, what an ideal regulatory environment should look like, and why the US leadership deficit is more damaging than the budget deficit. He’ll give candid views on fracking, tar sands, the Keystone pipeline, advances in drilling technology, T. Boone Pickens, and alternative energy solutions.


EPI is an independent oil company out of Abilene, Texas, specializing in developmental drilling: revisiting known reserves and using the latest technologies, including hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) and horizontal drilling, to greatly expand production. EPI’s founder and CEO, David Vletas, has deep family roots in Texas Oil and decades of industry experience as an E&P geologist, operator, and company owner.
