Harvey Organ’s Gold and Silver Blog Has Been ‘Deleted by Court Order’

Several patrons have asked me if I know what has happened to Harvey Organ’s popular precious metals blog.
I have been given to understand that his site on Google blogger has been ‘deleted by court order’ and in accordance with Google’s terms of service and content policy.
The specific terms of the court order or the originator have not been revealed to me.
I had thought Harvey’s blog was fairly benign, and Google has been fairly easy to work with based on my own experience.
Things like this generally involve either alleged copyright infringement or some sort of defamation. Harvey was based in Canada, and I do not know if Canadian laws on this are different than US laws, or even which jurisdiction issued the court order. I do not care to speculate. This is all that I know. If I find out more, which I hope will be the case, I will pass that along.
You may find some ‘back issues’ of Harvey’s blog on the Internet Archive here.
We’ll always have Paris. Here’s looking at you, kid.
