Peter,

Makes perfect sense to me. The IMF and certain Central banks will sell gold and give the money to the poor countries. In the case of poor gold producing countries, they will make them poorer and then rescue them by giving them money. Kind of like a pusher, hooking the person on drugs, then supplying their habit. Seems the tendency is to make people more dependent on government these days.

Jim
