I'm afraid I don't have the URL you request but the information you do provide and the suppression of the story raises certain concerns. The implication for gold is what? The information you do provide implies a collapse of the dollar against other currencies. If this is true, then would there be an automatic rise in the price of gold? When more peripheral currencies fall, then relative to gold they become more expensive but what happens when the major world currency falls? Does gold hold its value? One would assume a severe recession if not a depression. In such a scenario all commodities become devalued. Real estate, large ticket items like vehicles, appliences, farm machinery, etc. If gold is treated as a commodity does it not fall, too? If it is treated as a currency vis a vis the dollar,then will it not automaticallly appreciate along with other currencies? However, there has been a concerted effort to separate gold from currencies. Certainly western governments have been preaching and practicing that separation. What does it take to override this desire of western govts. not to have a gold standard?
