This is what got Nixon in trouble..when France tried to exchange dollars for gold.

They are all nervous after 6 years of massive money printing and would like to get rid of funny money....but there probably is no real metal to back it up....even a bit of it.

Just goes to show ya, physical gold needs to be in your possession from the SECOND you buy it.

Does anyone believe the gold is still there?

I’d be happy if they simply paid us for what we spent kicking their butts in WWII and rebuilding the nation after WWII. The amount of money the US had to spend fighting that war plus rebuilding Germany AND defending it for 60 years after the war runs in the trillions. We could pay off the debt it we could get that money back.

On January 16, 2013 Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, said it will ship back home all 374 tonnes it had stored with the Banque de France in Paris, as well as 300 tonnes held in Manhattan by the US Federal Reserve, by 2020. Fast forward a year and Buba, as the Federal Bank of Germany is affectionately (or maybe not) known, has only managed to bring home a paltry 37 tonnes of gold. And a mere 5 tonnes of that came from the US,

Why would anyone trust a country that cheats on it's own citizens? Kind of like a guy asking a known adulterer to drive his drunk wife home.

Whatever was left in 2008 is likely looted and gone to all of Obama’s friends, just as the treasury has been looted... just as every other African dictator does to his nation.

This whole “German gold” story has been brought up since about 2 years... Given all the nonsense governments and central banks have been doing, I’m not surprised such stories attract attention but in fact... 300 tonnes of gold is worth $12 billion, If Fed really sold it, they could relatively easily buy it back and sent to Germany. Besides, gold is not really some ultimate money, it’s yellow metal, which is worth as much as people believe it’s worth and could collapse as easily as printed currency.

I think it is safe to say that a nation, like an individual, does not own any gold not in its/his physical possession. Come a crash and the gold that is “offshore” will stay right where it is and ownership will revert to the holder.

American has become nothing but a den of thieves since Woodrow Wilson.

The elites are living out their bucket lists with all their ill-gotten gains and using Federal Reserve/others to pacify the masses so as they do not riot in the streets(18T in debt?...yeah, right)...chaos from the serfs might otherwise disrupt the current lifestyles of the rich and famous morally bankrupt feudal lords during a time where they are most enjoying the fruits of their thiefdom...can't have that.

By the time(financial)reality rears it's ugly head these turds will have had their fun...and most will be too old to give a sh t about the consequences(of their actions)....

...everyone else won't know what hit them.

"To Serve Man"...it's a cookED book!

It’s a good thing Hillary and Obama invaded LIBYA and got Qadaffi’s gold for us.
