Bobby, Are We Selling Our Gold Reserves? The truth is I don't know if we are selling our gold as I cannot find any information from any government or private agency that I may disprove or verify such an assumption. What I do know is that this a logical assumption and well within the Clinton's style of fulfilling his political commitments to the Internationalists and One World-ers. With Clinton . . . .perception IS reality! As long as gold, as one of the most reliable indicators of inflation, is kept from floating freely, the administration can claim that inflation is under control and inflationary expansions are a thing of the past. (Specially when such necessary basics as food are not represented in the inflation index.) For generations the media and our government have been reporting that our deficit trade balances national debts and deficits are increasing. In contradiction to these statistics the dollar's value, instead of decreasing has been increasing while the price of gold is decreasing. Foreign citizen's (especially Asian) demand for gold are in accelerating up trends but again the price of gold is in a sustained downtrend and steadily decreasing while nations around the world are devaluing or inflating (debasing) their currencies. Then why should the gold price be dropping in an ongoing proliferation of depreciating paper currency? From this citizen's point of view "It doesn't make sense!" I am aware that the "EURO" is forthcoming and some European nations are selling or anticipating to sell gold presumably to buy and support their new "EURO" currency. This may account for the price of gold to decrease. Still, that does not explain the reason for the dollar's strength and gold's sustained weakness. It is my guess that under the diversion created by the entry of the EURO, the Clinton Administration is silently selling our gold reserves for legal and illegal dollars, and commercial paper held by foreign cartels, governments, private citizens and corporations and international corporations. This may well provide an answer to our current situation. So that I may verify or disprove these opinions, I need to source statistics and documents of such related acts and orders issued by the Executive and Treasury Departments regarding such transfers since 1990. Hopefully, you or someone else can direct me toward an unbiased and documentary source or "watchdog" agency that publishes or may provide this data. Eakole
