GERMANY WANTS ITS GOLD BACK AND WHAT THAT MAY MEAN

If you are like most Americans, you probabaly focused most of your attention Wednesday on the gun control press conference. It is understandable because law-abiding citizens as well as veterans find themselves labeled as enemies of the state and the Constitution is under relentless attack by the socialist/communist element within our lawless federal government. Indeed, the issue of citizens having guns is as critical now as it has ever been.

Our supreme ruler knew it was a big story. He was on his game — looking good and sounding good — as he shamelessly paraded children out in front of the cameras. By the way, did he announce their full names and did anyone write them down? I hope so because it is obvious that these grade-school wiz-kids are politically active tots and represent the next generation of gun-grabbing Lefties. We need to put them all in a database and track their development.

But the “Sesame Street tries to stomp on the 2nd Amendment” spectacle wasn’t the biggest story of the day. That title goes to a development in Europe.

Yesterday, Germany announced it was repatriating its gold. That’s right. It will be taking gold bars from storage in France and America and stacking them in the home country. And according to ZeroHedge.com, the German Precious Metals Association “called for independent, full, neutral and physical audits of the gold reserves of the world’s central banks…”

See, I told you — big.

Huge.

It is so huge, the banksters had to plant stories in the propaganda press, no doubt, to try and minimize its impact.

Here is a quote from Forbes, “The move appears a response to public outrage over the Bundesbank’s (the central bank of Germany) oversight of its gold holdings. Last October, federal auditors questioned the Bundesbank surveillance of its gold bars, asking whether officials had actually verified the existence of their holdings.”

In other words, it is no big deal, everyone wants to know their bank balance once in a while, right? It is a pretty good soft sell.

But Germany’s reasoning was weak. They justified requesting the gold reserves held in France as a “natural consequence of the adoption of the euro”.

Huh?

The euro was established in 1999. Are we to believe it took the government wizards in Germany over a decade to realize that with the euro they didn’t need France holding their gold? Of course not.

And more silliness came from the New York Times as they tried to hide the significance of the request by pointing out “The Bundesbank does not plan to move any gold out of the Bank of England, which will continue to store 13 percent of the total.”

Of course, the ridiculous rag failed to mention Germany has already taken back some 900 tons of gold from the bankster’s London vaults in response to the establishment of the euro.

Can you say “spin”?

So what the hell is going on? What’s the big secret?

Well, Germany is not the first country to repatriate its gold. Venezuela did it, too. And Libya and Iran. Romania wants its bars from Russia. And the Netherlands, Ecuador and Switzerland have all called for audits and repatriation of their gold.

“The demands for repatriated gold accounts,” wrote Jim Willie carried at Maxkeiser.com, “primarily from the criminal bank sectors in London and New York, have amplified.”

In fact, it almost seems like a movement.

And that, crusaders, is why it is worth hiding.

Now, unless you are a gold investor, the repatriation of gold doesn’t necessarily effect you on a day in and day out basis. Gold is held in custodianship and when a country wants it back, it is really just a matter of counting it up and getting it back to them — in theory.

But see, there are these persistent rumors that the banksters have rehypothecated much or all of the gold in their care. In other words, if you were to stroll into your local Federal Reserve vault, you would not see stacks and stacks of gold bars, you would see piles and piles of IOUs. Or, as an alternate version of the rumor goes, you would see fake bars filled with tungsten.

In November, American Vision News stated, “The BOE and the Fed suddenly find themselves in a heap of trouble as the situation (and confidence that the Central banks actually still hold the tungsten gold reserves on deposit) is rapidly deteriorating.”"

“As we stated several days ago, the jig is now up,” reported Silverdoctors.com. “We wish the Fed luck staying ahead of the cascading avalanche of requests to convert unallocated (rehypothecated) gold into solid physical metal.  They’re going to need it.”

To date, no one can prove this because the Federal Reserve refuses to allow anyone into the vaults. Which, naturally, doesn’t help people’s anxiety over weather the gold is actually there or not.

Of course, the banksters know this so they saturate the media with cover stories from their hired-hacks that down play the importance of physically inspecting the gold.

Here’s an example from John Carney at CNBC, “…for almost all imaginable operational purposes, the actual existence of the gold in Fort Knox or in the vault beneath the FRBNY’s Liberty Street headquarters is irrelevant. The bookkeeping is what really matters here.”

Except that the bookkkeeping has proven to be “book-cooking” with international financial scandals being uncovered at an alarming rate.

Are the vaults empty or mostly empty? We will know eventually. Germany is in line and there is no question other countries will soon join it.

But finding the answer to “gold or no gold” is not the only element to this story.

If you stop by here regularly, and you should, you may recall several articles that discussed how investors were moving away from the dollar. Additionally, recall the articles covering the rejection of the petrodollar system. Both of these developments are real and are happening as you read this. Both of these developments also mean drastically hard times for America. In fact, there are financial professionals that claim America and the dollar have already died but because the Federal Reserve is printing some $80 billion a month and the banksters control the propaganda press, much of the West just doesn’t know it yet.

But some do.

Adam English at Wealth Daily wrote, “Ben Bernanke may not think gold is money, but the rest of the world is becoming increasingly aware that precious metals — particularly gold — are the only protection from the endless money printing.”

So, I submit for your consideration, that the repatriation of gold is an organized movement by those that know the day of the dollar is done.

“Those nations that depart from the entire US Dollar system early,” writes Willie, “will be the leading nations in the next chapter, with stronger foundations, richer solvency, emerging economies, healthier financial markets, efficient credit engines, growing wealth, stronger political helm activity, and better functioning systems generally.”

So, now you understand why Germany’s gold repatriation is a big story. It hints at a growing concern about the legitimacy and motives of international bankers that are serving as custodians for the gold owned by countries all over the world. A run on central banks by central banks will not be a good thing. And if the gold isn’t there, yikes! It hints at a deep concern over the stability of the current financial system. It hints at the idea that there may be a financial re-set sometime in the near future, perhaps based upon precious metals. And, as with the rejection of the petrodollar system, it appears to be another large piece of the puzzle that shows that the days of the dollar are numbered and America is in serious, serious trouble.

But perhaps there is some good news.

Maybe Germany, the Netherlands, Ecuador and Switzerland just want to know their bank balances.
