GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, PALLADIUM AND DIAMONDS
The Gestapo has finally moved against coin owners. A number of banks, "Washington Mutual, Sterling Savings & Venture Bank have sent out changes of terms notices to all of their customers. As of 1/1/04, you wont be able to store cash, or gold and silver, in your safe deposit boxes. This is being done under the guise of terrorism and national security."
The new Intelligence Spending Bill (HB2417) that has just been passed provides that institutions reveal their customers private financials as well as general information, including tangible things. Banks must now spy on you along with, stock brokers, operators of credit-card systems, insurance companies, dealers in precious metals and stones or jewels, licensed senders of money, telegraph companies, airplane and boat dealers, realtors and estate closings and the US Post Office. George Orwell must be having a good laugh. He gave us the roadmap to fight the conspiracy, but Americans were not interested. There was no debate on this Bill. Coin dealers will have to turnover records to the government upon request and if you hoard your gold at home you are anti-American and a potential terrorist or a sympathizer.
I recieved several skeptical private emails when I first made this assertion of a seemingly obvious upcoming gold confiscation. I studied the convoluted HR-2417 closely and it is a tangled mess, which, I imagine is intentional. Here is another report that concurs with my original assumption.

(a) MODIFICATION OF DEFINITION- Section 1114 of the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3414) is amended by adding at the end the following:
'(d) For purposes of this section, and sections 1115 and 1117 insofar as they relate to the operation of this section, the term 'financial institution' has the same meaning as in subsections (a)(2) and (c)(1) of section 5312 of title 31, United States Code [...]'
where the Financial Privacy Act was one of the victims of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 358). Now HR 2417 redefines "financial institution" to match U.S. Code Title 31 Section 5312:
(2) ''financial institution'' means - [...] (N) a dealer in precious metals, stones, or jewels;
This could be a prelude to an FDR-style outlawing of gold possession. For more on the future of gold vs. paper money, see the Dec. 28, 2002 UnderReported.com story China deregulates gold; country's demand to double, affecting world market.
