Looks like this ...and more is pretty common knowledge. I'm afraid snakes on both sides of the isle would be complicit in some of this. In a nutshell the implication is that the price of gold was held down by these sell off's in '99 to prop up the bubble of the stock market. At least Hillary profited! Gold isn't in reserve so much with the Arab Countries as with private parties....remember Osama is just in the past few days offering gold for bounty.

All I am confident in is that our money isn't worth the paper it's printed on. And if what these scenarios say is true, oil will be bought with gold, not dollars. China is also buying up gold. ALOT of it. Here's the biggest of the list of who has the gold:
