If the Germans were smart they’d quickly stop the “calls for repatriation” and move on quickly to actually doing a repatriation. My very suspicious mind tells me that those Fed customers who are down in the order of repatriation are going to be very shortchanged. And they’d better completely verify that what is repatriated is actually 100% gold all the way to the center.

When things hit the fan, I can already see Obama and crew saying “we didn’t know of the existence or the extent of the thievery—this must have been done during the Bush administration; it’s Bush’s fault.

It is very convenient to keep gold in NY, and it used to be very secure, but with Barry in office, I’d think twice before leaving it there.

I’ve been to the Fed in NY, but not to the vaults. The building is built like plumbing. You can set up a path from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ that is secure by closing gates that are in the halls and elevator lobbies. Where I was, all the trim and doors were made of brass. Really impressive, although I got through security with a ‘nod’ — I guess my escort was “somebody”.

Weighing the gold bars would show nothing, since gold weighs almost the same as tungsten. Ultrasonics is the way to test it.

OK ... all this is something I never knew.

So

at one time, the US was perceived as a safe and secure repository of precious metal(s) by other nations .. and now one of those nations would just, y'know ... kind'a visit it's own posession .. and the US says, "Nahhh ... I don't think so ... security reasons, there's an ongoing investigation, uhhh .. there's confusion because of the election ... ummm ... I'll think of more ... "

Is THAT it ?

I find it hard to believe (in this day & age) that other nations trust the U.S. to “guard” their gold.

IIRC, the Spanish government allowed all of their gold to be sent to Russia during the Civil War in the 1930s for safe keeping.

They never got it back.

So why are our commies different from the Russians?

I have only a sketchy recollection of someone posting or commenting on a gold scandal at the NY fed. It seemed so incredible that tons of gold could go missing I refused to give it any further thought . . . until now.

The same thing happened years ago when there were calls to physically inspect Fort Knox to see if the gold was there.

After immense pressure and extreme reluctance on the part of Knox to show the owners (that’s us) OUR gold, Congress finally sent a delegation for what was, in essence, a photo op.

ONE vault door was opened, to show gold bar piled from floor to sealing.

No other doors were opened. The congress critters got their pictures taken standing beside the gold, and left—no further questions, no examination of any of the other vaults, no weighing of the gold—just photos.

And the MSM let the subject drop.

(And THAT, more than anything else, made me suspicious that there really was something missing from Fort Knox...)

Everyone is rich until they look in their wallets. So Germany has gold in NY....until someone actually wants to move it....then...poof! it disappears and how does Germany explain to the home crowd.

“We saw it, no paper, no problem, leave it there.”

No, the gold never was secure here. The Banksters at the FED “rehypothecated” (i.e., resold and resold it, used it as collateral for loans, etc) the gold many times. No one (outside of bankster insiders) even knows where it is. It was a massive, multi-trillion dollar fraud from the beginning. collapse of our financial system is imminent, as everyone knows now that the emperor has no clothes.
