Why Did The Bundesbank Secretly Withdraw Two-Thirds Of Its London Gold?
Two days ago we reported that the German Court of Auditors demanded that the German Central Bank, the Bundesbank, verify and audit its official gold holdings consisting of 3,396 tons, held mostly offshore, namely New York, London and Paris, at least according to official documents. It also called for repatriation of 150 tons in the next three years to perform a quality inspection of the tungsten gold. Today, in a surprising development, via the Telegraph we learn that none other than the same Bundesbank which is causing endless nightmares for all the other broke European nations due to its insistence for sound money, decided to voluntarily pull two thirds of its gold holdings held by the Bank of England. According to a confidential report referenced by the Telegraph, Buba reclaimed 940 tons, reducing its BOE holdings from 1,440 in 2000 to 500 in 2001 allegedly "because storage costs were too high." This is about as idiotic an excuse as the Fed cancelling its reporting of M3 in 2006 because "the costs of collecting the underlying data outweigh the benefits." So why did Buba repatriate its gold? Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has an idea.
The shift came as the euro was at its weakest, slumping to $0.84 against the dollar. But it also came as the Bank of England was selling off most of Britain's gold reserves – at market lows – on orders from Gordon Brown.
Peter Hambro, chair of the UK-listed gold miner Petropavlovsk, said the Bundesbank may have withdrawn its bullion in self-protection since it did not, apparently, have its own specifically allocated bars in London. "They may have decided that the Bank of England had lent out too much gold, and decided it was safer to bring theirs home. This is about the identification. Can you identify your own allocated gold, or are you just a general creditor with a metal account?"
The watchdog report follows claims by the German civic campaign group "Bring Back our Gold" and its US allies in the Gold Anti-Trust Committee that official data cannot be trusted. They allege central banks have loaned out or "sold short" much of their gold.
The refrain has been picked up by German legislators. "All the gold must come home: it is precisely in this crisis that we need certainty over our gold reserves," said Heinz-Peter Haustein from the Free Democrats (FDP).
Speculation aside, the fact that central banks, and even banks of central banks (i.e., the BIS), have long lent out gold, is no secret to anyone, traditionally to satisfy short-term physical gold confirmation claims upon a spike in demand, usually associated with a liquidity shortage (when the value of gold as monetary collateral truly shines). The problem with this rehypothecation scheme is what happens when the counterparty suddenly finds themselves insolvent, the gold has since been re-re-rehypothecated, and nobody really knows whose gold it is any more. This becomes a drastic problem when a counterparty in a collateral chain suddenly goes broke... like MF Global did last year, and the lawsuits started flying trying to determine whose gold is where. Needless to say, it was the London office of MF Global that was at fault for breaching a rehypothecation chain (because only in London was there no collateral haircut limit on rehypotehcation), and once physical delivery demands arose, nobody could locate bar XYZ with a given serial number.
That, or the Bundesbank merely foresaw the ultimate unwind of the failed European mercantilist experiment at the start, and refused to leave its most precious asset in the hands of the banker oligarchy which it knew would do everything in its power to procure said gold once the feces hit the fan. Sure enough, BUBA's 'non-denial' denial confirms this too:
The Bundesbank said it had full trust in the "integrity and independence" of its custodians, and is given detailed accounts each year. Yet it hinted at further steps to secure its reserves. "This could also involve relocating part of the holdings," it said.
Yet what is left unsaid in all of the above is that Germany has done nothing wrong! It simply demanded a reclamation of what is rightfully Germany's to demand.
And here is the crux of the issue: in a globalized system, in which every sovereign is increasingly subjugated to the credit-creating power of the globalized "whole", one must leave all thoughts of sovereign independence at the door and embrace the "new world order." After all this is the only way that the globalized system can create the shadow cloud of infinite repoable liabilities, in which we currently all float light as a binary feather, which permits instantaeous capital flows and monetary fungibility, and which guarantees that there will be no sovereign bond issue failure as long as nobody dares to defect from the system in which all collateral is cross pledge and ultra-rehypothecated... for the greater good. Until the Buba secretly defected that is.
And this is the whole story. Because by doing what it has every right to do, the German Central Bank implicitly broke the cardinal rule of true modern monetary system (never to be confused with that socialist acronym fad MMT, MMR or some such comparable mumbo-jumbo). And the rule is that a sovereign can never put its own people above the global corporatist-cum-banking oligarchy, which needs to have access to all hard (and otherwise) assets at any given moment, on a moment's notice, as the system's explicit leverage at last check inclusive of the nearly $1 quadrillion in derivatives, is about 20 times greater than global GDP. This also happens to be the reason why the entire world is always at most a few keystrokes away from a complete monetary (and trade) paralysis, as the Lehman aftermath and the Reserve Fund breaking the buck so aptly showed.
We are confident that little if anything will be made of the Buba's action, because dwelling on it too much may expose just who the first country will be (or already has been) when the tide finally breaks, and when it will be every sovereign for themselves. Because at that point, which will come eventually, not only Buba, but every other bank, corporation, and individual will scramble to recover their own gold located in some vault in London, New York, or Paris, or at your friendly bank vault down the street, and instead will merely find a recently emptied storage room with humorously written I.O.U. letters in the place of 1 kilo gold bricks.

Perhaps they just wanted to help put a little "gum" in some leaks.......
As central planners catch up to the idea that physical possession is 9/10ths of the law, the fraud will soon be revealed.
Be careful, I hear that some I.O.U.'s are actually made of tungsten.
i'm starting to wonder where that one tenth of the law is for those not in possession. mf global doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

Sure would be nice to audit and assay the gold at Ft. Knox right about now. Maybe Geraldo could host a big FOX special, "The Mystery of Ben Bernanke's Vaults"? Most likely with an ending similar to his last "Vault" show.
The last "vault" being full of stale air and dust?
Bingo! A whole lot of bupkis.
I thought Germany held most of its gold in New York?
http://www.planbeconomics.com/2012/10/23/schall-talks-about-germany%E2%8...
Again, the FRBNY holds mostly foreign gold, their total holdings are some 7000 tonnes (yes, including a bunch of Germany's). Ft. Knox (along with a little in San Francisco, West Point and a bit at the FRBNY) adds up to 8000 + tonnes of US gold. Assuming all the gold is legitimate (my guess is yes that it is), then if I were Germany I would pull at least half of their gold from the FRBNY as well.
Who's going to invade Germany? Russia? Poland?
This whole issue is yet another reminder to ALL OF YOU that physical gold is likely to get very scarce... If you do not own any, then you better get started!
"Shipped the gold abroad in case of a Soviet attack''. Might have well shipped it to Moscow for safe-keeping.

Better get it out of New York right quick. I hear them Iranians might invade at any time.
Dochen and the President using the emergency powers act when things really start getting worse can confiscate it all. and not return any gold to anyone, including soverigns.
Double post sorry.
I chatted with a gal who lives in Ft. Knox who said it was common knowledge there was no gold in Ft. Knox.
You seriously trust a girl from Kentucky?

Why on earth would anyone wear shoes when there's the cool blue grass between your toes?
What does a girl from Kentucky put behind her ears to make herself more attractive?

don't tell anyone but Orly was raised in Kentucky
Yes, I would, The indian word it comes from sounds like ken\tuh/key or kentahkee, which means "the happy hunting ground" it was considered heaven. "WALL STREET" on the other hand was named after a wooden wall that was built by Dutch traders, @1620 after they had signed a peace treaty with the locals, who called the place they signed it "Hoboken" which means "pipe of peace" and then they slaughtered them. The line of that wall that was built to protect the Dutch from the enraged indians, after the Dutch massacre of the indians, is the street in New York City called "WALL STREET. (ref: http://www.sidis.net/TSChap7.htm)
Very interesting history. Thanks for sharing.
:D
In Ft. Knox Kentucky it was common knowledge that there never was any gold in Ft. Knox.
When the tide finally breaks you don't want to be long tungsten. Supply shock, bitchez!
How exactly would the uneducated common people of Kentucky have any goddamn clue whatsoever how much gold is stored in Ft Knox? Those stupid motherfuckers probably couldn't locate all fifty states on a map.

Start a pool in your office to guess how many times the same gold bar has been sold or held in inventory for a different account. Apply the same guess to GLD or any other paper gold accounts.
According to Jim Rickards, perhaps about twenty times.
According to Jeff Christian, it is 100 paper to 1 physical, and many of those players foolishly believe they also have claims.
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/jeffrey-christian-and-nick-barisheff-bu...
According to Jeff Christian he later admitted to 400:1 paper:physical.
Musical Chairs - 400 people dancing, 1 chair left and when the music stops you're already sitting on it. :)
I'm thinking the red tape involved in shipping that gold is about to get a lot more time consuming. Nothing to do with where it's going of course. But there should be some sort of genetic testing to determine what goose laid it and its history for the last 100 yrs or so.
Should all be cleared up in a couple of years, or never if the Euro implodes. Whichever comes last.
Wonder how much of the Venezuela gold has made it down to Hugo's vaults? Looks like he is ahead of the curve on that call.
Venezuela had announced some time ago that the deliveries had been accomplished.
Remember, it was shortly after Hugo demanded his gold back from London that the Arab Spring-a-ling forces miraculously captured Tripoli and within days announced a massive sale of Libya's gold which was held at the BoE in order to pay for arms, ammo and fighters salaries.
Now, there has just Fuck All Never been Rebels in any Fucking Country ever sold Gold Reserves to pay for the Arms and Ammo, etc., being Given to Them for free by the Supporting Forces.
It doesn't happen that way.
The so called sale of Libyan gold was made in order to be able to dip into one dwindling unallocated pile of shiny in order to make physical to Hugo.

They'd been nationalized earlier, etc.
Dibs!
Wow, so Hugo essentially pushed the button on Qaddafi? I can believe it.
The bank being setup so quickly is no surprise to me. How else would you manage all of the gold you just "acquired?" It's the same as it ever was, and the banks are the worst thieves. They have entire armies at their disposal too.
One has to wonder... How much gold does Iran have?
One wonders what the level of awareness is among the general public in each country. From what I gather from the article, in Germany there are public interest groups that pushed this. And, seemingly there were those in their central bank who actually are looking out for German interests. One can only imagine (since there seems to be a complete 'news' blackout on the subject) that the public awareness of how the banksters are robbing everyone is very high in Iceland.
In America, most people are completely clueless on these topics. The 'news' and 'education' sectors are completly bought off by (ultimately) bankster and corporate interests. Though Ron Paul helped a great deal to bring it to the attention of many more people.
.MMM,
They saying needs an update to 'posession is 99.999% % the law'.
I have the feeling the Fort Knox "myth" is about to get "pantzed" in the not too distant future.
You do realize that the Republicans are going to win the necessary 5 seats in the Senate to have control of the US Congress for at least 2 years. Then, Ron Paul will have his day and he WILL mandate a full audit of the US Gold reserves held in Ft. Knox, FRNBY, USMA in West Point and wherever else there exists a dribble of AU. Thats when Bernanke is really going to start shitting. Part of the audit process will be drilling random bars. This is going to get fun real soon.
Hey, Tyrone, I'll bet you a shiny 1/10 oz gold eagle that Ron Paul won't be a sitting congressman in six months.

With engine belts breaking free and gears stripping loose, the machine, which buys and sells people, will come to a violent end, and that "commodity", manpower, which will then be without master, will roam the streets- bloody pitchforks in mind.

Which is more closesly related to edward hyde. But, the manner in which these people portray themselves is that of a civilized or decent man- there's your jekyll.
So I say famous or wealthy faces and their trophy wives are not the jekyls they portray themselves as, but rather, self-involved, small minded, and heartless like mr hyde.
Reality be told, everyone is about as genuine as their hydes, b/c they all pretend to be good, but they would rather die than give a fuck about me.

You "feel empty at the end of the day" because you're a freakin' muppet! It's right there in your name! You should be thrilled not to have that hand up you, at least for a little while.
Your reply reminds me of a book by Stephen King.. The Tower.... all machines from a once great land grind to a stop and the ones that remain or broken and slow... as a lone gunman wanders the earth to find out what heppened... taking on the "machines" of old and trying to find out how to stop it.

Check Chavez's basement. BOE audit minus 3 tons and counting.
I will go out on a Limb and suggest this is in prepriation for Germany to return to the Deutschmark. Germany may have decided to repatriate its hard currency before making an announcement on fears that it may not be able to do so after it leaves the Euro.
Hypothetically speaking, why wouldn't one recall all of one's gold from these centers of propriety?
I may be slow, but you mean hypothecatingly speaking, right?
I see what you did there, clever one. I green you!
I wouldn't want my gold commingling with paper!
You caught my drift perfectly, good sir!
If you withdraw all your gold from the system, you will be punished. Bit surprised there havent been any repercussions for Germany.
The last thing Germany wants is a strong currency.
Oh..! Somebody's central bank knows what's coming. First one out wins... the poor "Dragon family" still trying to sue for their bonds/gold.
Promissory notes don't get the respect they use too...
The international financing system/scam is going to become unglued.
First one to blink wins.
@ GoodMorning
It's OK to say "first rat off the ship wins..."
Did you ever think that Germany is anticipating the breakup of the European Monetary Union. If that happened all the EU debts would go unpaid and Britain could claim the gold as repayment of some bond obligation. Everything would fall back to the old maxim: "Possession is 9/10s of the law."
You better believe when the music stops, Gold is staying put. If there's any left in London you mean.
Had Chavez not repatriated, how would an EU breakup effect him? Other than outright theft.
Have a friend from VZ. He hates Chavez. Gets his panties in a wad when I tell him the man is VERY prescient.
Worlds 3rd largest oil reserves------hmmmmm, who's next?

CNBC 'NetNet' article stated it makes absolutely no difference if its there or not or if it'd all there...or not.
They said it only matters if they wanted to make watches.
No shit.

For your perusal...
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49540593
And the quote you referred to:
"The actual presence of the gold wouldn’t make a lick of difference unless, say, Germany’s central bank decided it wanted to start using the gold for some practical, non-monetary purpose like making watches."
This wasn't a quote from someone in the know for the article. Apparently it is the opinion of the author, John Carney from NetNet.
:D
See?! I ain't about no lie!
Aaaaaarrraghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
That's just plain irresponsible.
"BTW....GO TIGERS!"
LSU or Auburn (I'm in Louisiana)?
Princeton, silly.
:/
I literally meant actual tigers. They really should be allowed to run. It just seems right.
I BEG your pardon. If the Tigers you refer to are the LSU Tigers, then I must needs offer a spelling correction. Properly written, the phrase is "GEAUX Tigers."
Thank you for your attendance. You are forgiven. (I didn't geaux there... but a close friend did.)
That always irritated me, having half grown up in Louisiana. "Geaux" is a plural form of some invented verb, so in essence you're saying, "Gos Tigers."
See? Makes no sense.
:/
"Makes no sense."
Ummm... who changed the rules? I didn't know anything had to make sense re: Acadians? (aka "cajuns.") Think of where they came from!!! And why! :-)
From Acadia, Canada. Why? To get out of Quebec as soon as possible.
It makes sense in French (or Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, etc.) English has a relatively simple verb conjugation methodology (but bad French is my blood, having lived in Genève and having a bunch of ancestors who quit Québec for Ville de la Nouvelle Orleans in the 1600 & 1700s).

Gordon Brown was selling UK gold reserves from 1999 to 2002. And 940 tons of German gold are pulled from London in 2000-1.
Maybe the Germans were privately concerned about whose gold Brown was actually selling.
Brown should take a lesson from JPM... Just sell gold that does not exist and call it good.
Brown left a real big shit stain in his wake when he sold the peoples gold to himself through his secret *family*
That's why they call it Browns bottom. He got the call, shat his pants and signed the order.
at least brown only sold 1/2 of their gold.. canada sold all 1000 tons about the same time the imf was 'helping' them with their ecomony.
And the PBoC had this to say about that... deafening silence.
