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!"
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.
