RT: EU countries withdraw their gold from US vaults

167
The central banks of several EU countries are taking their gold reserves from the US Federal Reserve Bank, as a result of which the amount of precious metal in it has reached its lowest level in many decades. About this newspaper writes Look.



The first who asked to give part of their gold bars, was Germany. The Netherlands followed, and this spring Austria.

According to the head of the Institute Ludwig von Mises, economist Lew Rockwell, the removal of gold from an American bank will have a positive effect on the global economy.

“The US Federal Reserve and supporters of the economic policy of this department will say that gold does not play a monetary role. But then you have to explain why the Federal Reserve Bank holds so much gold, and that belongs not only to America, but also to other countries. ”- said Rockwell.

“By the way, it is typical for empires to keep gold in their colonies or dependent states. The decision of foreign governments to withdraw gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not very happy with Washington, but it is extremely important for their independence. Some even fear that part of the bullion was missing or that gold could have been mortgaged. Perhaps the bars and lie in the same place, but to whom they belong - is another question. In my opinion, it is quite natural that Germany, Austria and other countries decided to take away their gold, ”he noted.

Gold costs money and is located in the United States and a permanent export indicates a distrust of the United States as a guarantor of security, otherwise they would simply be sold without unnecessary movement.

              This is not distrust, no one would give gold just like that! This is a payment for sanctions against Russia and at the same time an attempt by these countries to return at least some sovereignty! Germany, that is, its elite, and other countries "caught" the moment when the USA (USA) is in great need.

            The United States is more than two moves, unable to calculate the situation. They and ISIS thought they would control, and the crisis of 2008 of the year. They have a lot of desire to control, but nothing happens. This caliphate will create a tense situation on the border with Russia, which will end in war and the defeat of the caliphate. And the USA will act in this war as allies of Russia. As well as in the Great Patriotic War.

        The main reason for storing "blood" despicable metal ie. gold, in the US vault, was the presence of a limited contingent of Soviet troops in Europe under the Warsaw Pact. The USSR collapsed, the troops were withdrawn, but the gold remained in the USA. Considering that the United States regularly made vigorous reports on the availability of bullion, no one bothered - it’s okay, until China received a batch of bullion bars - tungsten covered with gold, which gave reason to believe that the amount of gold claimed in storage in the USA is not true. Germany tried to take out "its", but they were refused, then nemchura decided to check the numbers of the ingots in storage and were again refused. They were told - "we will return" but not immediately but within several years.
        So, it is unlikely that everyone who wants to return their gold will receive it.
        In the end, if the United States easily goes to provocations with the shooting down of passenger planes, then what prevents them from sinking the plane or ship in the Atlantic "JACOB" carrying gold and declaring it a force majeure. Ends and "ingots" into the water.

        Not in objection to "Nyrobsky", but for historical information: When the Russian Empire lost its Baltic Navy in the Battle of Tsushima, by the way, lost to the fleet prepared by Great Britain for Japan, then to restore the Baltic Fleet, the Russian Empire applied for a loan from Great Britain, the pledge of the return of the loan was the storage of the "gold ruble" from the gold reserves of the Russian Empire, in UK banks for the amount of the loan. Oddly enough, but it was the "pledge" of those in Great Britain, consisting of "gold standard" coins, that forced the Russian Empire to enter the First World War on the side of the Entente. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that when the artisan "Swedish" Baron Wrangel seized the "gold reserve" in Kazan in 1918, the gold in bars amounted to no more than 10%, the rest was in "gold-bearing coins".

        China, Japan, Germany are countries that are now intensively building up their military power. And if America declares itself bankrupt, then these countries will simply divide America into spheres of influence among themselves and introduce occupation forces. Other countries that America owes gold to will participate in this section, as the Americans cannot resist the whole world. Their weapons in military bases will be directed against America.

      This happened after the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany. The Red Army at that time was capable of capturing the whole of Europe, despite the presence of several nuclear bombs from America. Americans frightened Europeans with the Soviet threat, the loss of sovereignty and gold reserves. And the threat was real. Such plans were worked out in Stalin’s office, and foreign intelligence informed of this. Another thing is that Stalin did not want to continue a new war with the Anglo-Saxons, because it was impossible to conquer England and America at that time, and now too.

      There are actually four questions:
      1. For international settlements, if the national currency is not accepted, as the Soviet ruble used to be.
      2. Because a gram of gold is much more valuable than a gram of paper.
      3. Almost nobody refuses gold, with rare exceptions. So everyone.
      4. Does not disappear anywhere. In the late 90s, the escrow fraudulent scheme was popular. The bottom line: any product is taken, even gold, for free. The one who gives the goods is obliged to pay the custodian for the "storage" service. The keeper sells goods, spends money. She again takes the goods for "storage", again for nothing. The circle is complete. According to the contract of goods, a wagon and a small cart are "stored", so the "storage" fee is not small. In fact, there is no product.

    It is somewhat suspicious when Germany took the lead in demanding the return of gold. Germany has been occupied by the United States from 1945 to the present. Independent Germany, and the EU as a whole, can only be called conditionally. Germany, Holland, Austria ... It is strange that this company does not include the Grand Duchy of Liechtenstein, Monaco and Andorra. There is a suspicion that these countries do not have gold in the US Federal Reserve System, and may not have any gold at all. Attention! The question is: "With what fright did the US colonies begin to demand their gold, trumpeting the whole world about it? What" tricks with the ears "did the American oligarchs conceive?" But if they give it back, they won't give it back ... the tenth question. Well, they won't give it back, of course wink They won’t give ours either. Onizh (oligarchs, residents in the Russian Federation) themselves lobbied in the 90s and 2000s for the purchase of US bonds and the laying of our gold there? So - happiness is not in money, Russians!

    The very statement of the question, or rather, talk about the return of gold is a trend, however. For example, the Netherlands quietly returned some of the gold, reducing the share held in the US from 52% to 31%. Only when they were taken out, they announced this. With Germany, it will probably be more difficult, as these seem to have announced at first (maybe even just said). In addition, we still have to see when, in fact, the gold was taken out. Maybe during the beginning of the occupation, so to speak, the payment for liberation. And about the Netherlands, there is a version that this is a payment for silence in the investigation of the Boeing crash. And it’s really strange - why exactly did the “powerful” Netherlands manage to get back some of their gold? So we'll see who else can get theirs back. It seems to me that nobody, including Germany.

    Where is the money?
    Tsar Nicholas II allocated 48 600 tons of gold for the creation of a global financial center. For comparison, in modern Russia, the gold reserve in mid-2015 amounted to 1250 tons. Tsarist Russia allotted its gold capital with the condition of their return for a period of 100 years. In addition, it was agreed that from each operation (transaction) of the Fed of Russia should account for 4 percent. Later, in particular, following the results of the Bretton Woods Conference (1944), Russia's right to 88% of the assets of the Federal Reserve was confirmed. When, in connection with the centenary of the Federal Reserve, the media revived discussion about the fate of, in particular, Russian assets in the United States, interesting events occur. In early 2015, the INION library was first burned down in Russia, where, among other unique historical and legal documents, archival materials related to Russian gold assets in the Fed were stored.

    As already tired of all the "conspiracy" nonsense and mantras about the "crumbling" Western economy. Specifically, why "Western countries" "take" part of the gold from the US Federal Reserve, where it was "stored": the fact is that during the 2008 crisis, the international community adopted some rules to support the falling economies and the banking sector. One of these rules was "increasing the percentage of banks' liquidity," that is, in simple words, banks in the "bins" should now have much more money than was required before. For this, gold has always been chosen. So the Central Banks of some states began to take it, on the one hand, to increase their "stash", and on the other hand, to sell part of the gold to commercial banks for the same. There is no question of any such substitution of the dollar by some mythical "gold standard" - gold was required for a banal technical reason - to increase the capitalization of the banking sector.

    As far as I remember, the main reason for the transfer of gold to storage in the United States was the Second World War and the danger of "expropriation" of the gold reserves of European countries by the Nazis. after the war, De Gaulle managed to take the "French" gold from the Americans.
    "The Bretton Woods system - 1944 could exist only as long as the US gold reserves could provide the conversion of foreign dollars into gold. And although in the middle of the 70th century, the United States owned 3% of the total world gold reserves, Gold US stocks were literally melting before our very eyes: at times 1949 tons a day, and this, again, despite all the imaginable and inconceivable measures that the US took to stop the leakage of gold, to make sure that the dollar was "reversible until they demand its reversibility." (Charles de Gaulle) The possibilities for exchanging dollars for gold were in every possible way limited: it could be carried out only at the official level and only in one place - in the US Treasury. But the numbers speak for themselves: from 1970 to 21, US gold reserves decreased from 800 to 9838,2 tons - more than doubled.
    The last point in this "flight from the dollar" and put General de Gaulle, not limited to a declaration on the need to eliminate the priority of the dollar. From words, he got down to business, presenting the United States with an exchange of 1,5 billion US dollars. A scandal erupted. The United States began to put pressure on France as a partner in NATO. And then General de Gaulle went even further, announcing France’s withdrawal from the NATO military organization, the elimination of all 189 NATO bases in France and the withdrawal of 35 NATO soldiers. To top it all off, during his official visit to the United States, he presented $ 750 million for gold. And the United States was forced to make this exchange at a firm rate, since all the necessary formalities were followed.
    Of course, such a scale of "intervention" could not "tumble the dollar", but the blow was dealt to the most vulnerable spot - the "Achilles heel" of the dollar. General de Gaulle set a dangerous precedent for the United States. Suffice it to say that only from 1965 to 1967, the United States was forced to exchange its dollars for 3000 tons of pure gold. Following France, Germany presented dollars for exchange for gold.
    But the United States soon adopted equally unprecedented protective measures, unilaterally abandoning all of its earlier international commitments to back the dollar in gold. "

    RT: EU countries withdraw their gold from US vaults
    The central banks of several EU countries are withdrawing their gold reserves from the US Federal Reserve Bank, causing the amount of the precious metal in it to reach its lowest level in many decades. About it writes the newspaper Vzglyad
    Newspaper Vzglyad.
    Media: European countries are withdrawing their gold reserves from the United States
    The first country to ask for the return of part of the gold bars was Germany. The Netherlands followed suit, and Austria followed suit in May of this year. transmits RT...

    But the comments about tungsten ingots are especially annoying: can anyone provide a link to the Chinese statement on this issue? Has anyone read this statement? Has anyone seen a similar statement from the Germans?

    Are you tired of living with noodles on your ears?

    In my recent column, I reported on a news story in which an employee at the world's largest private smelter discovered a gold-plated 500-gram gold bar from an unspecified bank. The column provided a link where readers themselves could see the report of the German TV channel...
    This particular column drew a relatively strong response from Robert Bradshaw. He criticized me for repeating the story of how last year The Chinese Central Bank received at least four fake gold plated tungsten bar weighing 400 ounces. I thought he was worried that I was stubborn for the myth about the huge number fake gold plated tungsten bars 400 ounces each, which presumably were manufactured in the 1990s by order of the American government. Supposedly half of them were taken to Fort Knox.

    Before today's column, I had never referenced to rumors of a large party fake gold bars allegedly stored in Fort Knox. I am well aware of all the details this myth, like Bradshaw, but the possibility of this story being true is quite slim...

    Information about the allegedly counterfeit gold-plated tungsten bars came to me from reliable sources. But when I brought this up for discussion last fall, I warned you that these are rumors.

    In my October 19, 2009 column on Numismaster.com, I began one paragraph in the middle of the essay with the words “There is a story which I will have to classify as rumors" Next comes the discussion about the possibility of what some from gold bars supplied to the London Stock Exchange by the Bank of England could be filled with tungsten...

    In the November 4, 2009 issue of Liberty's Outlook, headlined "Gossip – fake gold bars found in the Central Bank vault” I told readers about the story with the Chinese Central Bank...

    In Liberty's Outlook... I report information subsequently received that the Central Bank of China presumably found four fake ingots... Several “clarifying beacons” were used in the reasoning, such as "allegedly" and "could"...

Not a single factory of Fords or others like them was bombed in Germany during the war, not one. If it weren’t for our aviation, the aviation of the USSR, everything would have gone to the Americans. It's good that we had some planes. Considering that all the “DRAGON” gold remained in the USA, and they “divided” it somewhere, there is very little gold on the planet. As some dreamers say, the Americans sold it to the guys from SPACE. It sounds strange, but gold is a material for a unique fuel for intergalactic flights. Look at this!!!

    Profitable! Yes, in the demolition of that Europe, in gambling terms, its owner drained it. Only one, poor thing, remained against the Horde. What rushes from there - entropy in its pure form - will never submit to anyone.
    And these guys seriously want to sit behind a big puddle once again, they are naive. Siberia & Dalnij Vostok, that’s where the interest is, that’s where you can still rob (theoretically) before the savages get there. Well, we’ll have to cut our own rations, figuratively speaking, but hit our sticky little hands for the first time, or what? No, what are the arrogant Saxons, ah, insolent ones. We are lucky to observe the last convulsions of the Western so-called civilization - we can cope with the savages, we will multiply radical Islam by 0 without question, it cannot survive in our climate. But THESE will not be able to live unless they urgently defeat someone, otherwise their economy will suffocate. The Papuans are gone, so what to do, who to bomb? There is air defense here, we don’t know that the “raptors” are invisible. The dogs are in thought.
    And as for all kinds of caliphates, normal Muslims, together with us Christians, will get into a fight against them, because the values ​​of life are common to everyone, and cut off heads are for “Untermenschen” (subhumans). All the rabble from all over the world are rushing there, it’s simply amazing how many freaks have been born on the planet. So much the better - we will buy it in bulk, at a discount.

    Look, the Chinese have already been returned once, only not gold bars, but tungsten ones...

    And with Europe the same thing will happen, in the best case (which is also unlikely) they will pay with their own dollars, at the cost of gold on the day of transfer for storage.

    The fact is that, according to the storage agreement, the United States can dispose of gold at its own discretion, they undertake to return it, but not immediately upon request, but with certain “BUTs” which are the whole point.

    Only one country managed to return its gold - France, and even then for cash: all the dollars that were at that time in the hands of the people and banks were collected, loaded onto 1 ship and 1 plane, and all the gold was bought for this money.
    in 1965, when French President Charles de Gaulle demanded that the United States—under the then-Bretton Woods international monetary system—exchange 1,5 billion paper dollars for gold at the official rate of $35 an ounce.
    The then US President Lyndon Johnson, who was informed that a French ship loaded with dollars was in the New York port, and a French plane with the same “baggage” had landed at the airport, promised de Gaulle serious problems. De Gaulle responded by announcing the evacuation of NATO headquarters, 29 NATO and US military bases from French territory, as well as the withdrawal of 35 thousand alliance troops. Ultimately, this was done, plus, in two years, de Gaulle lightened the famous Fort Knox by more than 3 thousand tons of gold.
    Germany at one time itself supplied standard gold bars to the American vault, and received back completely different bars.
    Freshly prepared tungsten ingots with gold plating
    This is a gross violation, which indicates that the gold transferred by the Germans for safekeeping has not been in the Federal Reserve Bank for a long time.

I don't remember the weight, but it roughly fits in the palm of your hand. He takes and saws the ingot in half in front of the camera. In fact, the outside is gold, and the inside is metal, cheaper, but similar in weight! Well, what can we talk about? Crook, 200 years have passed and he remains a crook.
