Richard, ok4i4 gold sucks as money & dumped as a commodity in2a commode.
Presently we have not a Gold Standard but a standard based on Man's Desire 4 Wealth, not to create wealth for the common good, but these people who are able to create money & credit do so to produce wealth & power for themselves and those in their circle or in circles of others that they wish to influence 4 their own survival.
garbage in, garbage out
If today's money & credit supply is good and sound then very unlikely any concern will be showned by the citizens of the usa when the government declares that the physical gold of Fort Knox will be used to bail out the huge short positions of those important, and needed to remain stable, banks and whatever those other institutes that need physical to cover shorts or derivatives or whatever demands immediant cover.
If we do not have a Gold Standard, then what?
A Wood Pulp Standard w/ unlimited supply of trees & ink?
Or something like a Tulip Dow/Nasdaq Standard?
What i say next may appear that i a gata nut, is really nuts.
The current Howe/GATA lawsuit will be sucessful and show gold price manipulation took place and this activity got out of control causing those manipulators to make a choice to either back off and pay the piper 4 a play gone bad, or do what they did do, push to the extreme with more of the same that caused them to get into their then present do-do, and add to it and get in deeper.
"Too Big 2 Fail."
Yes, this will override justice due those hurt and used to keep the current house of cards from falling.
GATA will be showned to be on target and correct and etc.
But no explosion in the price of physical gold simply because the usa public is clueless about money & credit creation and what is correct and good versus the opposite which will have it's day of Gloom & Doom eventually.
But not this or next year, as Fort Knox's physical gold will be used to prevent a gold explosion and collapse of those banks etc needed to stay afloat else they will go down the tube and take the wealth of the usa public along with them.
For every truckload of fiat paper money taken to usa's Fort Knox, that truck will be filled with the physical gold from the vaults.
An even trade it will be, on paper.
POG at current $269/oz.
Those banks needing that physical gold will simply do what?
Simple, buy from the usa treasury newly printed money and give it back to Uncle Sam in exchange for the gold.
So as Uncle Sam inflates the usa money supply, causing the public's dollar to lose value against it's own produced goods, and against other nations currency, those banks buying that physical gold will still pay the same $269/oz for american's gold eventhought that $269 has less purchasing value, thus making this gold being brought even cheaper to buy.
Let it happen folks, not that we have any say here, even if we vote No the majority of usa citizens will vote Yes since they no understand a Gold Standard's purpose and will be told that this action will help stabilize their own personal paper wealth.
In 2 or 3 years the house of cards will fall, and who has the physical gold Rules, and it will where?
Anywhere but the usa.
The usa's economy will be hammered, in a manner that the USSR's was as in collapsed, and as the USSR became Russia Bankruptcy Chapter 11/7 with a shadow of its World Class Military Might, so will the usa's since "Its the Economy Stupid."
no free lunch military power cost money big time governemnt pays for the military power machine from money collected form its citizens through taxation paychecks of money transfered and tracked but if the dollar becomes funny money then like in Russia today its a barter system no taxes payed
