It ain't over until its over.

(what if)

What if the United States, Canada & England
have no physical gold,
and Russia, China, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia do?

... Chinese government has not less than $400 billion
... can buy all gold stock of USA, which is 8 thousand tons
with its dollar volume.
... official data, gold stock of China... not exceed 400 tons.
... to other estimations, it is much more... exceeds 15 thousand tons.
... Chinese is satisfied with their underestimation
of potential by the western countries.

... the manipulation of the gold market... so serious
that it has become a [usa] national security issue.

GATA [reported] accelerated Chinese buying of gold from South Africa.

The gold cancer is spreading throughtout the West.

... going to bite the butts of the economies of the western world.....

All the best,

The post-Stalin power struggle

When Stalin died in 1953 he was succeeded
by the collective leadership of his closest collaborators,
among whom Malenkov (prime minister 1953-55),
Beria (secret-police chief),
and Molotov (foreign minister 1953-56)
at first occupied the leading positions.
Other figures included
Nikita Khrushchev (CPSU first or general secretary 1953-64),
Nikolai Bulganin (minister of defence 1953-55),
and Lazar Kaganovich.

Despite innumerable protestations of unity,
a fierce struggle for power at once set in.

Beria was defeated and executed in December 1953,
Malenkov was ousted from the premiership in 1955,
being replaced by Bulganin

In June 1957 Malenkov, Kaganovich and Molotov
... expelled from the Central Committee of the party,
as was, later in the year, the war hero Marshal Zhukov.

In June 1958 Khrushchev ousted Bulganin to add the premiership
to his first secretaryship of the party's Central Committee.

Having packed the latter's Praesidium
(as the Politburo was then known)
with his nominees, Khrushchev was now supreme.

Khrushchev and his successors
... torn between tightening the screws
and slowing down the process of de-Stalinization
... enjoyed initial success
... first hydrogen bomb in 1953
... space satellite (Sputnik I) in 1957,
the USSR emerged as a serious technological rival to the USA.
