Gold is the safest investment in the world. And guess who has the most of it? Mother America, of course.
About 14,000 tons of gold are stored in America. Of this, 8,000 tons belong to America and 6,000 tons belong to other countries that prefer to store their gold in America. No country in the world has anywhere near as much gold as America. Yet only 20–30% of the gold belonging to America comes from US soil. So where did the remaining 70–80% come from? How did America acquire so much gold? From Africa? Through Usury? Or both?
I'm reminded of a quote from Dr. Martin Luther: "If a thief steals ten gulden he must hang; if he robs people on the highway, his head is gone. But a Jew, when he steals ten tons of gold through his usury is dearer than God himself!"
Yeah, about that Fort Knox audit…
From how I understand it, the 8000 tons officially on the books was given to the federal reserve as collateral by the Treasury to underpin the fractional banking system after the gold standard ended. Treasury got it from the nationalization (theft) of gold in 1933. The period when gold was circulating as money was the richest and most productive period in American history - I assume the gold accumulated here through enterprise as well as mining.
I believe the rest you're referring to was sent from Europe to the US for safekeeping during and after WWII, since the US was the only place it wouldn't be looted. I think the US will have the last laugh as much of the foreign-owned gold is confiscated by the US during the next monetary crisis. This is why we've heard of several nations demanding their gold back.
WWII.
It's not about holding onto any value...
The gov probably took most of it through bloody conquest. Remember Iraq? That probably wasn't the first time.
Oh Dr. Martin Luther, thought we were talking about martin luther king for a second. Never realized he was prolly named after this guy, but anyway.
I remember reading a long time ago that most of the gold that was able to be mined by simple tools and human hands was on the north american continent, the native indians spent alot of effort collecting this stuff. They didnt do it to be rich though, they did it for god.
What did england, france, and spain do when they descended upon this place, they went fucking insane with the lust for the stuff and stole most of it and shipped it back overseas, google says china and russia are some of the top producers of gold, but thats because they dig up massive amounts of dirt just to find a couple gold flakes. Most of what was americas was no doubt stolen from the indians.
It always trips me out to think that the amount of gold humans have found isnt even that much really.
I still think its really weird that there is a pool of liquid mercury underneath the temple of the feathered serpent in mexico.
There's no gold left...lol. those thief's stole that shit years ago
