Naughty, naughty, naughty.
When the Vodka swilling Boris Yeltsin took over the Soviet Union from Mikhail Gorbachev, the entire central bank gold reserves "disappeared".
"Just like that".
Most went to Switzerland, but it was noted in a UK national that some arrived in the UK for "re-smelting" (i.e., laundering).
I mention this only because it is standard operating procedure to plunder the nation and its treasury if you're being overthrown. I also mention it because it is standard operating procedure for those in power to automatically consider the nations assets are actually their own.
That's why they want power.
All that tosh about "public service" is utter rubbish, obviously.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
