Golden haircut Europe

Золотая стрижка Европы

Getting closer and closer to a referendum on UK independence from the EU. It will be held June 23. Increasingly the debate about the prospects for the upcoming vote. But especially touches something, when in dispute regarding the correctness of this step with the Brits come the representatives of the American elite. My opinion on this issue expressed a policy of the United States, from President Barack Obama and Secretary of state John Kerry to the major candidates in the upcoming presidential elections trump and Clinton.

Mostly their opinion about a possible British exit from the EU has a negative rating. But the more it sounds like the approach, the stronger the impression that the concern is not about the future of its “strategic ally”. Most of the representatives of the American elite is concerned about how they will be on pair with British share the same calf in the event of withdrawal of London from the EU.

The Taurus, which was driven by them after a lot of effort in a barn in the middle of the XX century and which they continuously, grown, kept on a starvation diet and cut.

The role of wool (fleeces) performs gold. The main reserves are concentrated at the three European countries — Germany, Italy and France. In General, the European monetary Union is the owner of the world’s largest gold reserves in solidarity — 11 thousand tons. It’s more than the combined reserves of the Bank of England and the fed.

The gold reserves of continental Europe — that is the kind of coat that banks of the USA and great Britain then increasing, then cut.

If you see how Russia has changed the post-war gold reserves of Germany, Italy, France, find that they have grown twice. This occurred when the country experienced an economic boom.

In the 1950-1960-ies Italy had annual GDP growth of 6%, France 5%, Germany 4.5 percent. It was during this period the gold reserve has reached its peak: France in 1966 (about 4.7 thousand tons), Germany in 1968 (more than 4 thousand tons), Italy in 1969 (more than 2.6 thousand tons).

Largely the concentration of their savings in gold of the continental European countries is fueled from overseas. There in front of them was an ambitious plan for the creation of a common European economic space (in 1957 appeared the European Economic Union).

But as if by the wave of someone’s wand in the period of maximum concentration of gold from Germany, Italy and France experienced an economic crisis of the early 1970-ies. And as if on someone’s team of experienced shepherds at this time were set to cut European the Golden fleece (wool). “Suddenly” it became clear that the EEC countries have large external debts that urgently need to pay off… of Course, gold.

That’s not counting the fact that most of the gold reserves of Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and a large part of the French gold was stored (and continues to be kept today) in the US Federal reserve and Bank of England. Is actually under the control of American and British elites.

Moreover, the Bank of England and to this day charge a fee with the European countries… with mocking words “for storage”.

Time passed, and at the end of the XX century, the situation repeated itself. In 1998-2000, the GDP growth rates of continental European countries were again high: in France they amounted to 3.5−4%, Germany 3%, Italy — 4%.

And again in front of them from overseas was an ambitious goal — the creation of monetary Union (the Euro zone). And again, for its implementation is suggested to concentrate the gold. Again the gold reserves of the three countries started to grow.

And again, like a wall, there was a recession. And again obedient the calf began to cut.

Only in the air hung the question: where did all that gold go?

After all, if you take the official statistics of the U.S. Federal reserve and Bank of England (which, however, we have to believe with sufficient care, because in the same Federal reserve audit after the Second world war was not conducted at all), then in the postwar period, their gold reserves have been steadily declining. Despite the inflows, it constantly disappeared somewhere.

Of course, something could not go to military spending that the US is simply enormous. After all, to extend its dominance around the world is not cheap. Something spent on the stabilization of the dollar in the 1950-1960-ies. But neither defense spending nor the needs of the American currency do not explain the decrease in gold reserves of the fed more than doubled in the period from 1946 to 1970 — at a whopping amount of about 11 thousand tons. And why the us gold reserves continued its steady decline even after the dollar is no longer guaranteed by gold during the so-called “Nixon shock”? And where did almost 2/3 of the gold reserves of the Bank of England: in 1970 they amounted to 1.2 thousand tons, and in 2010 — 310?

However, the explanation can be found, if we remember that in the second half of XX – beginning of XXI century, as the mushrooms begin to grow private equity funds that have a greater gold reserves than the developed countries of the world. So, one of such campaigns registered in the USA — SPDR Gold Shares, one of the ten largest private holders of gold in the world in 2012 disposed of gold reserves, four times superior to gold of the Bank of England. Key investor (through the company “BlackRock”) in this Fund is Bank of America and the British Barclays, which is associated with the Rothschild family. Even the two largest custodian of gold and silver ETFs — HSBC and JPMorgan Chase. First financial conglomerate is associated with the brothers Kazutami, which, according to British media reports, today, influence the policy of the Bank of England. Morgana is one of the founders and co-owners of the fed.

Is it any wonder that shares of the same SPDR Gold Shares is 100%, and in fact, legally provided with gold. This despite the fact that neither the dollar nor the pound sterling of such security did not formally have.

Only today, in the process of cutting European Golden calf failed. The gold of Europe is exactly what has alienated old partners-friends. Greedy for the yellow metal they have been unable to find out quietly among themselves, who share European rune should belong to. And now I have to disassemble the conflict in public.

Whether everyone leaped hereditary pirate blood. Whether awake genes conquered England in the eleventh century, the plundering of the Vikings.

Maybe everything is easier.

As with the heroes of the great American Western “Gold McKenna”, which was shown in the USSR in early 1980-ies: while he raced to the gold idol, gold burned their hearts…

Because gold attracts visitors, and invariably deceives those who make it the sole purpose of his life.
