Sounds like Governor Perry may not be *a-trusting* Obama and the boys, LOL.

No it is just a ghost of that.
A ghost called the 10th amendment.
Perry believes in states rights.

I hope so. That’s how every break-up or divorce starts. One wants their stuff back while the other says no.

Your money's not stored in the vault, Governor Perry. It's lent out to Cypriot banks, triple leveraged gold hedge funds and as collateral to the Chinese treasury. If you want it, just sign this form and you'll get it back in a hundred years or so. Depending on the breaks.

I'm not blaming Texas. I'm blaming the Federal Reserve for claiming they have a gold depository when they are actually running it as a fractional reserve gold bank. Because they “lend” it out (although it might never physically leave the vault), each gold bar will have multiple claimants. That's why the Germans will have to wait years to withdraw “their” gold.

Gov. Perry has suggested several times over the past 4 or 5 years that Texas may leave the union. There is historical support for this, although the issue was later clouded and it is far from certain that the majority of Texans would be ready to support such an effort “if push came to shove.” That there is a lot of support for it is beyond doubt, however.....and....so.....?
At any event, the state does still have another most interesting option... expressly provided by its admission documents, namely that it may split itself into a grand total of up to 5 “conveniently sized” states if it wishes. This unique power, if exercised, would give 10 US Senators form the (current bounds of) Texas...
might the politics of this be interesting, eh?
To: Nachum
I believe my Great State of Texas will be standing in line behind Germany because there ain’t not gold in them there vaults....done been lent out over and over and over again.

Step 1 toward secession?
No way. Texas could not give up all that federal land and federal state welfare it receives. It does sound good seceding, but in reality states are attached to the federal titties and won't make it on their own including Texas.
