An interesting scenario, I thought.
This was first published in October 2012, and the price of gold had hit a high of $1,790 an ounce. By June of 2013, the price had plummeted by about one third, to just over $1,200 an ounce. This clearly was a manipulated decline in the price of gold by the US. Today it's closer to $1,300 an ounce.
Yes, interesting speculations. David is the gold expert here but I have no doubt that, regardless it's still official 'barbarous relic' status, it remains a key element of the global financial system. The issue of Germany's attempt to repatriate its physical gold has gone quiet again but it's still bubbling away. This article, 'Boozing with Ben', by Michael Colhaze is a hilarious satire of the issues involved.
Hilarious it may be but it references some serious food for thought too for example this from from Alexander Dugin (a major behind-the-scenes academic Putin advisor):
Quote:Germany is an occupied country run by a foreign power. The Americans (i.e. Neocons) exercise real control. Germany's own political elite is not free. As a result of this situation Berlin cannot act for the good of the country, as it should. In fact, at the present time Germany is being governed against her own best interests
