It Will Take The Fed Seven Years To Deliver 300 Tons Of German Gold

Tyler Durden's picture




With the market yet another algo-controlled snoozer, programmed to close the S&P just green (as otherwise confidence in central planning may fail), the key things we learned today are as follows:

Obama proposed 23 "gun controling" executive actions, which do little to actually control guns - that part falls to Congress, where the proposal will be promptly killed - but which will add some $4.5 billion to US spending, and which will "push for further action on his health care law, including insisting on the kind of mental health coverage states must provide under their Medicaid programs."

The breakdown of the spending is as follows, per Weekly Standard:

  • $4 billion for the president’s proposal “to help keep 15,000 cops on the streets in cities and towns across the country.” (That is roughly $266,000 per police officer.)
  • $20 million to “give states stronger incentives to make [relevant] data available [for background checks] … “$50 million for this purpose in FY2014”
  • “$14 million to help train 14,000 more police officers and other public and private personnel to respond to active shooter situations.”
  • “$10 million for the Centers for Disease Control to conduct further research, including investigating the relationship between video games, media images, and violence.”
  • $20 million to expand the National Violent Death Reporting System.
  • $150 million to “put up to 1,000 new school resource officers and school counselors on the job.”

What can one say: politics, fully, theatrically and embarrassingly "endorsed" by the children sitting behind the president.

* * *

But the biggest news of the day comes from the official Buba announcement that, in its official capacity as a prudent central bank, it - as first of many - is looking to repatriate some 300 tons of gold from the New York Fed. That, however, is not today's news - that was Monday's news.

What is news is that courtesy of the supplied calendar of events in the Buba statement, it will take the Fed some seven years to procure Germany's 300 tons of gold. This is the same Fed that, in its own words, holds some "216 million troy ounces of gold" or some 6720 tons, in its vault 80 feet below ground level.

Putting the above in perspective, the amount of gold that Germany will have to wait 7 years for is shown in red. The amount of gold the Fed supposedly holds, is shown in yellow with a shade of tungsten. Why it will take the Fed 7 years to part with an amount of gold that is less than 5% of its total holdings is anyone's guess...

unless of course, the bulk of the gold in the column on the right has been rehypothecated numerous times to serve as collateral for countless counterparties, and it is no longer clear just who own what to anyone.

* * *

We can only wonder how many centuries it will take the New York Fed to deliver all the gold held by third parties in its vault, once the demand notices start rushing in...

For all those curious how the Fed itself describes the gold vault and its contents, can read more in the pamphet below:

Has anyone considered the much more significant possibility that the Fed (and B de France) does have (all of) the gold, but won't return it in less than 7 years?

Has, in fact, the timetable for reserve currency change just been given to us?

Gold Warriors - The Vulcans - Murdering Liberty and Killing Hope on 911

When Psychopaths Rule The World

 

Preface: Massive Fraud Leads To Murder


The following pages separate the wheat from the chaff, the strong from the weak, the wise from the uninformed.

This is a story predicated upon real life. We, the civilian population of the world are not trained or educated in the finer distinctions of global finance. Our perception of millions, billions and trillions of dollars, let alone millions, billions or trillions of ANYTHING is hopelessly mired in the gunk of enigma. We just don’t get it. In fact our eyes generally glaze over and we’re ready to move on to the next subject of study, the next point of distinction whenever anything larger then a bread-box is mentioned. It’s just human nature.

Add to that vast sums of gold, illegal gold at that, even stolen gold, national treasury gold, and we seem to want to head for the nearest exit.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, because the choice is really yours, the events described in the following pages are true. You see, real life is a complicated and convoluted mess of various seemingly disjointed and unconnected events somehow strewn together to make up the many years we call “our life” and rarely do our lives amount to anything more then having children, working and enjoying a few pleasurable moments. We are not the elite. Their lives are things we imagine for brief moments while we’re busy living our own lives.

I’d like to stress that this event, the destruction of several buildings in New York City and the purposeful bombing of the Pentagon is a complicated, convoluted crime of vast proportions. Nothing like this has ever happened.  Throughout the entire span of the history of human civilization no one has committed a crime of this proportion. This is and was the greatest crime ever perpetrated. Not only were almost 3,000 innocent Americans sacrificed for National Security by desperate criminals but literally trillions in gold and securities were traded and accumulated over a span of 50 years and more. The number of people involved in the greatest financial scam in global history is mind-numbing. Trillions of dollars can be used to pad the pockets of many hundreds of people. If these crimes were exposed many hundreds of people would have been imprisoned for life. Initially the official designation of “terrorist attacks” made it difficult to discern a pattern to this event and that cover was a good one which threw off a great many people for a number of years. However if the destruction of the World Trade Center, a segment of the Pentagon, four commercial aircraft and the loss of 2,993 lives is not considered as a “terrorist attack” but rather as a crime with specific objectives, there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction, not only of the buildings but of specific offices within each building. That logic provides a glimpse into a world few of us ever see and it solves numerous anomalies and questions related to days surrounding Nine Eleven.

You are about to read a staggering synopsis of those events.

These people don’t walk in our footsteps but even more importantly, we don’t walk in theirs.

Take a walk with me, in theirs ...

1. The who, why and how of the events that occurred on 911 with almost 100 photostatic documents; banking, contracts and depositions, over 50 rarely seen high quality ground zero images and a story about the QRS11 Gyro Chip, Smacsonic®, the NASA Dryden Controlled Impact Demonstration, the real Mohamed Atta, the Clock Lady and Metastable Intermolecular Nano Composite Sol Gels.
This is the final word on the events of 911.

2. Implicates the same players in the SubPrime crisis and connects the SubPrime crisis directly to the events of 911. Don’t believe what you hear in the media. This book introduces many of the lesser known players and provides the history of their connections to the intelligence community and also speculates on bond defaults in 2011-2012.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16017306/Book%205.pdf

6. Since September 11, 2001, there has been an undercurrent of testimony that the collapse of the WTC Towers was preceded by a series of explosions inside the towers, which appeared to those fleeing as totally unrelated to the holocaust created on the upper floors by the jet airliners. To a very large degree, those statements have been “sealed” by the FBI along with statements by the NY Fire Department and rescue workers. That information will never see the light of day for the next twenty years. There are however, ten sets of publicly available information which strongly suggest other explosions occurred in conjunction with the airline attacks on the World Trade Center. This report covers those ten sets of publicly available information.

The Fed doesn't have the gold, it will have to buy it on the market.

It will do so over 7 years so as to not cause any price spikes.

Both the Germans and the Fed know this, of course.
