Or one of the largest, perhaps after the twin towers and indistinct holes in the Pentagon where the airliner “disappeared”.
And this is USA gold. Again remember this topic made long-suffering with their gold Germany.
Why did I call Germany long-suffering in the Golden issue? Because Germany has the world’s second largest gold reserves after USA. On paper. But the truth is she can’t have. Storage structure of the gold Germany:
◾1347,4 tons or 39.9%, in new York
◾196,4 tons, or 5.8%, in Paris
◾434,7 tons, or 12.9%, in London
◾1402,5 tons or 41.5 per cent, – in Frankfurt
Since January 2013, Germany returned the 366 tons of gold in 2013 had returned only 5 tons from new York. Germany is going to demand the return of its gold from the US. Here’s what’s weird:
1. Germany last attempt to stop pressure on the United States, and even (through the tears, obviously) stated that it is satisfied that in the U.S. gold is in a safe place.
2. When Germany realized that the process of returning the gold is stalling, she asked to spend at least an audit of their gold. The fico scores they received, and no audit, see item 1
3. When Germany rolled with the audit, they asked at least to provide a list with the numbers of your gold bars. The fico score they received instead of the lists, and see 1.
The Netherlands has also worked, and rumor has it that it is the scandal of gold caused the abdication of Queen Beatrix.
60 countries store their gold reserves in the United States, new York. How did it happen? The answer is both simple and complex. In fact, one of the few places in the world where you can buy physical gold are COMEX in new York. Countries not having their own gold bought physical gold in COMEX, but for some obscure reason, decided to leave the physical gold is physically there, for “safekeeping”. Feel the suspense?
This is just one of the episodes of oddities of the gold reserve of the United States. Second can think of as a scandal, better known as the “tungsten gold”. When in China were shipped purchased gold bars (5 400 pieces, 400 ounces in each), which turned out just tungsten bars with gold plating. It is unknown what the cause of China to obtain the gold decided to make an examination of the ingots, but, obviously, in the U.S., this situation is not expected. It is unknown what it cost US, but scandal managed to hush up.
However, China conducted its own investigation. The registration number of the party bars indicated the fact that the fake bars have been obtained from banks Federal Reserve during the Clinton administration. It was then by order of the bankers of the fed was what made somewhere from 1.3 to 1.5 million tungsten tiles weighing exactly 400 oz. Amazing, isn’t it?
Worse, there were scandals and directly in the USA, where private individuals bought fake gold bars and coins.
But the strangeness does not end there. The fact that the Americans themselves are not able to audit their (and stored other people’s) gold reserves. In September 2012 was to be held check status of gold reserves the largest repository of new York.
The test was conducted. The audit began on September 30, 2012 and the same day ended. The U.S. Treasury Department has checked itself without involving any expert. The findings of the audit were 14 pages of text, 13 of which were occupied by the description of the laws and rules of audit, the audit was devoted to the last page, which just said that 99% of the gold in the total amount of 23.890 million dollars is in store under the supervision of the fed. Even mentioned weight – 466 tons, and any more what information. Rooms no bars, nothing. Mockery and not an audit.
In 2012, the year “Goldman Sachs” sold gold certificates supposedly backed by gold. The Scam would succeed, what kind of fool would change the certificate for physical gold, because the certificate is the same as gold, only it is not stolen. But after the scandals with China and Germany the same Scam came to light.
Its essence is simple, as the field of wonders. Gold has many instruments, including derivatives – futures, certificates, ETFs (“exchange traded funds”). They allow the same bar of gold to sell several times to different people, and eventually this physical bullion is still left in storage in Manhattan.
Experts have long said that physical gold in the world at times (maybe ten times) smaller than by physical gold. And they themselves do not want to audit the fed and the U.S. Treasury. Why?
And because scary. It is better to let the world think that he has the gold and the world financial system somehow, but there is than it will appear that gold has not, it will lead to this financial tsunami, that would be better if Yellowstone exploded. Will not find anyone. The state will crumble. Worse to live will not except in Somalia and Ukraine for obvious reasons.
Why tungsten? There are many metals comparable to gold in density, but only two of them cost less gold. This is depleted uranium, because of the radioactivity which its application is difficult. And the second is tungsten, the ideal candidate, much cheaper than gold, density is only 0.3% less.
The representative of the fed’s Scott Alvarez: “the Federal Reserve does not own any gold at all. We do not own gold since 1934, so we did not participate in any transaction with gold…that is reflected on our balance sheet is gold certificates… To 1934, the Federal Reserve owned gold. We referred it, according to the law, the Treasury and received in exchange these gold certificates.”
