German gold will remain American
As wrote "Military Review", 6 March 2012. The German edition of Bild published an article by Ralph Schuler - with a photo: "Photo taken near the gold reserves of the German people in New York."
The author of the article wrote that the “most valuable treasure” owned by the Germans is 3401 a ton of pure gold, which equals “about 1800 euros for each.”
R. Schuler exclaims: “It is completely crisis-free, distributed among the safes of high reliability in Frankfurt, Paris, London and New York! And Bundesbank doesn't care about that! ”
According to Professor Jörg Betg, whose words are quoted by R. Schuler, there is a clear violation: "The control calculation of ingots must be done at least once in 3 of the year." But this Bundesbank did not.
That is, gold seems to be there, but no one intends to count and verify its existence. Even the law is appropriate, but the law is “by the side.” “An incredible golden scandal!” A correspondent told 2012.
Moreover, when the Bundesbank became aware of the search for a German gold journalist by Bilda, “the head of the public relations service, Michael Best, even tried to prevent the deputy from visiting and reporting to Bilda ...”
“Bilda” in the person of Ralph Schuler (the company was made up by the deputy of the Bundestag from the CDU and foreign policy expert Philip Missfelder) managed to visit Manhattan - the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Schuler went down into the depth, on the fifth floor down, level "E". “Clean floors, droning ventilation, giant steel doors. And - 7000 tons of gold! "
The stubborn German reporter asked: "But where is German gold?" Jack Gutt, a spokesman for the Fed's vice president, replied that German gold was "in some of these steel barred 122 branches. I can’t say more. ”
R. Schuler stated with sadness that there is no chance to see the German ingots at Bilda.
And not only at "Bilda", apparently ...
Later in Germany there were voices demanding the return of German gold to their homeland. And Germany, in theory, should follow the example of Hugo Chávez, who repatriated Venezuelan gold. In Germany, there is an entire information campaign - “Return our gold”.
But all this is in fact an empty noise. Americans don’t collect their gold to the Germans. It became clear from the reportage of the channel "RT" Peter Oliver. It turns out that a legal audit was never carried out.
Berlin could neither return nor even conduct an audit of the precious metal reserves located in New York, reports the journalist "RT".
The "justification" for the plans for the repatriation of gold voiced by the Germans was the financial crisis in which Europe remains. Germany dared to return a significant portion of the precious metal reserves. The government decided to do it without haste - that way for 2020. Moreover, even by that time, it was planned to transport all 300 tons of gold to Frankfurt (less than 10% of the total amount designated by R. Schuler). For reference: approximately 45% German gold is stored in the USA.
“Americans look after our gold well, we have no reason to distrust,” said Norbert Bartl, a representative of the Bundestag on budgetary issues.
Well, we trust the Americans. But according to the law it is necessary to check. Trust and verify, right?
“I do not understand why we should not conduct an audit. I am not a supporter of conspiracy theories, but the Bundesbank should be able to check the gold reserves once a year, as it does in Frankfurt, ”said Hans-Olaf Henkel, a member of the European Parliament, a member of the Alternative for Germany party.
Peter Beringer, founder of the “Return Our Gold” campaign, also spoke out: “For ten years, we have been asking the Fed and the Bundesbank to share evidence. But so far there is no hint that German gold is still in New York vaults. For example, the list of numbers of gold bars has not been published, although the Federal Reserve of the United States publishes such lists for its gold reserves. ”
In the Bundesbank, all the “distrustful” are called “conspiracy therapists” and are sent far away.
But in fact, the Germans have nothing to worry about. Approximately the same as the Swiss and other seekers of their own gold in New York.
Recently it became known that the US national debt will jump another trillion dollars over the coming months. Of course, there is already no German and other gold in the basements of the Fed: it was eaten up by the Bush and Jr. military campaigns. But Barak Hussein and the congressmen will once again honestly raise the “national debt ceiling”.
Putting pure gold in the American “ceiling” - what could be better for strengthening international confidence!
