The analytical program "However," with Mikhail Leontyev 21 January 2013

54


Against the background of talks about stabilizing the situation in the financial markets and resolving the debt problems of Europe and America, a process is under way that is worth paying attention to.

Germany returns to the country its gold reserves held abroad. The Bundesbank announced its intention until 2020 to return to its storage facilities most of the gold stored in the United States, Britain and France. Germany, which has the second gold reserve after the United States (a little less than three and a half tons versus eight for the Americans), stores most of its gold according to the well-known historical reasons abroad.

The historical causes resulting from the Second World War are well known. But it is also known that Germany politically correctly trusts its Atlantic partners in key issues of policy, sovereignty and security. What can we say about such nonsense as finance. Therefore, such a decision by Germany, the healthiest economy of the modern sick world, is nothing but evidence of a deep distrust of the entire current global financial system.

It is supposed to return German gold from France almost completely, most of it from Britain and about half from the United States.
From the film “The Meeting Place cannot be changed”: “When we go to work, I want my savings account with me to be. It will warm my heart.”

It is clear that the United States deserves more German political correctness than, for example, France. However, France is the eurozone. In the context of the existence of a single European currency, the movement of German reserves from Paris is generally meaningless. But is it in terms of existence? And if not? That is, we must understand that Germany, which is the main pillar, engine and beneficiary of the eurozone, is not sure about its future. And wants to be prepared for the worst.

“Now many ambushes have been overcome, they have already been passed. But experience shows that the lull can only be temporary. And we should be ready for this.”, - noted Vladimir Putin.

From the point of view of gold reserves, we are ready, as young pioneers. Our reserves, quite recently, are still very scarce, are rapidly increasing. And for historical reasons, we, unlike Germany, keep it in our country. As for everything else, we still have to prepare and prepare.

          It burned down near Moscow, Kursk, in Stalingrad, on the Dnieper, etc. in the form of a fascist menagerie. The virtue of Ulyanov (persecuted by Lenin, if anyone has forgotten) paid him with Germany (then not yet fascist, but nothing had gone anywhere over the years) for his coming to power.

          Gold is the consistency in the physical form of factors of all kinds of benefits and power. For measuring with something else (practice shows that size does not matter and the size also matters) is almost impossible and very speculative, which in general is shown by harsh reality.
          The euro needs to be supported, so the Germans have designated the "movement". "Euro is backed by gold ?!"

          It’s useless, and why - it’s more correct. The answer lies in the depths of history. In history so ancient that some do not show a desire to remember it. But the point is that the Western Slavic tribes are not Poles and Czechs, it is still ancient. And they lived in the territories of present northeastern Germany. In the whirlwind of centuries, they were mixed with the Scandinavians, the Anglo-Saxons (who themselves, for the most part, are derived from the Scandinavians), Eastern Slavs, Romans. Culture, language changed, but historical memory remained at the genetic level. By the way, it is proved that the indigenous population of the northeastern regions of Germany has a genotype very close to Slavic. Therefore, Rurik (Slav is not Scandinavian!) Came to Russia and Russian tsars were related to ethnic East Germans. Not with Poles, not with Czechs (although they are Slavs), not with Franks and Britons.
          Yes, we often fought with the Germans. But after each fight we were always very close friends. And, oddly enough, they never held the Germans evil. What can not be said about the Anglo-Saxons.

          I do not know how anti-human, but the silly German policy, the SGA media have already called. And in general, the return by a number of countries of their gold reserves to national territory and a number of other indirect signs show that we are on the verge of major geopolitical changes. To say the least.

          Amid concerns over paper currencies amid economic turmoil, gold “sparkles” even brighter
          In 2012, gold became a reliable way to store funds. The same situation may continue in 2013. Over the past 12 months, gold has risen in price by six percent, reaching a value of $ 1674 per ounce (31,1034768 grams; approx. Mixednews.ru). This was due to the activity of investors from the eurozone, seeking stability against the backdrop of quantitative easing from the US Federal Reserve, demand from central banks, and supply issues, which especially concerns South Africa.

          A large number of specialists, brokers and co-owners of industrial enterprises predict that gold will continue to grow in price and reach a value of two thousand dollars, and by the end of 2013 the figure may grow to two and a half thousand per ounce.

          Gold sparkles even brighter: Central banks increase gold reserves

        The size of American deposits in Nazi Germany was approximately $ 475 million. Investments by Standard Oil were valued at $ 120 million; General Motors - $ 35 million; ITT - $ 30 million; Ford - $ 17,5 million.

          It is strange that in general this topic was raised. Are there really people who naively assume the opposite? Really, Germany is not aware of all the investments and contracts of the 2nd World War? Well, it’s naive gentlemen.
          I am sure that this is all being played out for something else. More scale. Germany began to show its teeth NATU and EuroNat and EUROSHA do not like it.

          Alexander, you are right, will not return, that’s not the point
          If someone thinks that the place of storage of gold matters for the banking system, I’ll just laugh. Roughly speaking - Having a bank account in one country does not prevent you from paying to another, or having real estate assets in one country can be a guarantor for credit operations in another --- and this is at the household level, the level of an ordinary citizen. What can we say about the gold reserve formally accepted for storage by another state on the basis of interstate agreements. Many probably think that Amers in the dark dungeons of Fort Knox are sitting and biting ingots from the gold reserves of Germany.
          The transfer of gold from America to Germany (by the way, it turned out there because of the fear of the FRG during the Cold War, that in the event of a real war it will simply be plundered, confiscated) will in no way affect America’s financial system, it will only add Germany’s hemorrhoids with transportation costs and providing storage at home.

            Jim Sinclair on the real reasons for the repatriation of German gold


            Legendary gold trader Jim Sinclair sent a warning to his subscribers stating that the Bundesbank announcement to return 300 tons of gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and 374 tons from the Bank of Paris was a direct response to the actions taken by the outgoing Treasury Secretary Timothy in October Geithner, aimed at lowering the price of gold from $ 1800 per troy ounce through the ESF (Stabilization Monetary Fund of the USA; note mixednews):

      After participating in the Yugoslavian crime, the Germans - even here you cannot argue with their pragmatism - died out in the active phases of SyShira. A quick realization of the deep interests of "your shirt" is simple mathematics. And you can't argue with it. The crisis has gained momentum not from scratch, but the Germans are just about, they know how to count and do not like to take risks "like a cowboy."
      Better your own spig than an overseas hamburger. The beginning of preparations for the return of the Deutsche Mark, and the collapse of the "single" currency of Geyropa, as well as the entire financial order of their zone, should be.

            And here is the guarantee. we are talking about gold, as the hardest currency on Earth.
            What is the use of him if you have it, as it were, but not at all.
            Same thing with Russia. We believe that we have a lot of money in the funds. But in fact, it may turn out that they are not. Imagine a situation where relations with the United States are heating up to the limit. What do you think that they will return to us the Russian funds placed with them? Haha
            So it is with Germany. This means that the Germans have some kind of plan that the United States will most likely not like. To protect themselves from the "confiscation" of their gold, they are now slowly starting the procedure for returning to their native bins.

                Well, why such a passion about worsening relationships? Let us recall the period when these relations improved (under Gorbachev). What then happened to the gold reserves of the country and the CPSU? Evaporated? Take them out, they’ve taken them out, but only WHERE?

                They ate everything, as if you don’t remember? From transactions on the importation of Australian mutton (for a dollar per head, self-delivery at own expense, to an incomprehensible transaction for the sale of cash worth tens of billions of rubles). Stores empty remember? all plundered and the same gold.

              Gold is not the hardest currency on earth, and fluctuations in its price in one direction or another are significantly ahead or behind the inflation rate of the country's currency, which it should kind of provide. Since 1971, the currencies of countries (all over the world) are provided with the equivalent of tax revenues. (Including Russia or if you take Russia's gold reserve with its 800 tons and translate its value into the value of the ruble money supply, how much should the ruble cost? Calculate.)

              It is ridiculous how you think events will unfold at the second when the United States decides to confiscate the unfortunate 2000 tons of German gold? Even if the cost is 180billion euros. In the next minute, all countries and people (understanding that the dollar is dead (other than explaining the fact of gold confiscation), will start to dump it in panic, like GKOs, with their debt in 14trl, 180 billion euros allegedly acquired where will they go? A dollar that no one will need?

                It’s funny to me how you simplify everything. Why did you decide that this will be shown to you live? negotiations are first ... about the essence of which an ordinary mortal will never know. The second moment, in order not to lose face, Germany is easier to say that she has decided so far not to take gold in the USA, than to admit to the whole world that she was thrown. Well thrown and what's next? Germany will lose its authority, and the United States will not give a damn about it ... Germany will never be able to take it by force.

        The birth of a new gold standard

        The world is moving step by step towards the de facto gold standard, even for the sake of this the leaders of the G-20 countries do not meet to announce this idea or bless the project.


        Gold veteran Jim Sinclair considers this decision to be an earthquake, comparing it to Charles de Gaulle’s decision to transfer French gold from New York in the 1960s, which heralded the collapse of the Bretton Woods system only three years later when Nixon suspended the conversion of dollars into gold.

        Sinclair predicts that the Bundesbank’s actions will become the funeral bell of the dollar’s ​​power. Perhaps any new gold standard will be unique in its own way, and that it will be for the better. Let gold take its place as the third reserve currency, which cannot be devalued, and which will impose liability.

      Germany has the largest gold reserves in the world after the USA: 3396 tons. Their market value is now about 143 billion euro. But only 31% of this enormous wealth is held in Frankfurt am Main by the German Federal Bank (Bundesbank). The main part is located outside the country - in the vaults of the American (45%), British (13%) and French (11%) central banks.

      The German Federal Audit Chamber, having thoroughly studied the issue of storing German gold on the instructions of the parliament, demanded that the Bundesbank conduct a large-scale inventory of foreign reserves and continue to conduct regular inspections. After all, it turned out that the employees of the federal bank had never once verified the quantity, authenticity and weight of the ingots stored in New York, London and Paris. They invariably relied on detailed written reports from foreign colleagues.

              "It really doesn't matter if the New York Fed holds the German central bank gold, or if it is pure. If the Fed says it's there, that's also good for all the practical uses it might need. It is. can be sold, lent, used as collateral, used to offset obligations and accounted for as bank capital, whether it exists or not ...

              ... The actual availability of gold will not make an iota of difference, unless the central bank of Germany decides to use gold for some practical, non-monetary purposes, say, decides to start making gold watches ...

              ... For almost every conceivable operational purpose, the actual existence of gold in Fort Knox or in the Fed vault is irrelevant. Record keeping matters here. So while the Fed says the Bundesbank has a gold value X, the Bundesbank can act as if it owns gold, even if it somehow miraculously fell into a galactic black hole devouring gold. "

              "The Federal Reserve has no gold as such. We have not owned gold since 1934, and we have not dealt with gold. We have gold certificates on our balance sheets ... Until 1934, yes, we did possess gold. In accordance with the law, we transferred it to the Ministry finance in exchange for gold certificates.

The Ministry of Finance has successfully used this rule for a long time. True, exclusively for the issue of anniversary and collectible coins. However, now on the World Wide Web, the US Treasury is offered to mint a $ 1 trillion platinum coin. Then, for this trillion dollars, buy government bonds from the Fed. Thus, again give the Fed the opportunity to turn on the printing press. And - voila! - The US economy receives the much-needed $ 1 trillion without raising the level of public debt. see http://www.vestifinance.ru/articles/21886 hi
