They wouldn’t give Germany its gold back. Let’s see if Texas has any more luck.

Sounds like it’s actually the University of Texas that is retrieving the gold. It seems unlikely that a supposedly low-tax state would accumulate that much in liquid assets in its general fund.

Asking for their gold back and actually getting their gold back are two different
issues.

That gold, is probably long gone. If so, this will be the beginning of the
SHTF moment,

took delivery of almost $1 billion in gold bullion and is storing the bars in a New York vault...

Ummmm, guys, possession is 9/10s of the law, and if NY has your gold, the USA has your gold. Store it in Texas, unless you're just interested in symbolism.

The People have a right to alter or abolish the US Constitution. See Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton. An ineligible President cannot be removed or prevented from taking office because he is there by the will of the People. An ineligible President voids the US Constitution.

It is time to start organizing for the development of a national governing document. Email svenmagnussen@conventionforamerica.com to start a ping list.

In addition, Texas will repatriate $1 billion worth of bullion from the Federal Reserve in New York to the new facility once completed.

Texas has no gold at the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Any gold they have in New York would be stored at one of the commercial banks.

These days a billion is not all that much.

IMO, Texas would do well with a silver depository.
Start accumulating it at the current bargain prices.

I’ll take a billion in silver vs gold...IMO the upswing potential is much greater.

Someday the Republic of Texas will live again as an independent nation.

If the snubbed Germany they will snub Texas.

Courts will rule they can’t get it back.

Maybe this is what’s behind the military rehearsals. Should we hang out a sign that says, “Come and take it?”

Ah, but the $64 question is when Texas asks for its physical gold back, what if the NY Fed says “no”?

This is pretty much what happened to Germany, when it asked for its $141 billion worth in gold back. After an entire year, Germany had only recovered some 5 tons of its gold, or gold *equivalent* to the gold they had reserved. Then with a political change of fortunes, Germany backed off and “decided to keep the rest of that gold in NYC.”
