Germany gold?

[MarkusS]

I read my sources and practically nobody in the comments section believes that our gold is still there not because all of them are wearing a tinfoil hat but because they way our politico-actors are all acting funny by changing their mind too abruptly. Even the government mouthpieces like Spiegel and Focus state their doubt that we will ever get back everything.

BTW, only banana republics aka vassal states have their gold stored on foreign soils.



The gold is gone, stolen by the US.

why you call it "our gold"? Did you own anything of it? gold is worthless anyways. it cant be used for anything. beside that its there and transported back in time.

Whose gold is it if not our?

Gold is worthless? I'm more than ready to take a few tons of worthless gold on me and my gov. doesn't need to spend so much to protect it.

Marcus is either a paid troll or very ignorant. I dont take his rants seriously. Nobody in their right mind thinks germany isnt getting robbed. Even the germans see it that way. Marcus is the only who pretends to believe the Americans are keeping german gold safe and sound. So safe germany will never see it again.

The whole situation mirrors the late 1960s, during a period that led up to the “Nixon Shock.” Back then, the world was on the Bretton Woods System – an attempt on the part of Western central bankers to pin the dollar to gold at a fixed rate, while still allowing the metal to trade privately as a commodity. This led to a gap between the market price of gold as a commodity and the official price available from the Treasury.

As the true value of gold separated further and further from its official rate, the world began to realize the system was unsustainable, and many suspected the US was not serious about maintaining a strong dollar. West Germany moved first on these fears by redeeming its dollar reserves for gold, followed by France, Switzerland, and others. This eventually culminated in Nixon “closing the gold window” in 1971 by ending any link between the dollar and gold. This “Nixon Shock” spurred chronic inflation throughout the ’70s and a concurrent rally in gold.

Perhaps the entire international community is thinking back to the ’60s, because Germany isn’t the only country maneuvering away from the dollar today. The Netherlands and Azerbaijan are also discussing repatriating their foreign gold holdings. And every month, we hear about central banks increasing gold reserves. The latest are Russia and Kazakhstan, but in the last year, countries from Brazil to Turkey have been adding to their gold holdings in order to diversify away from fiat currency reserves.

The gold is gone, stolen by the US.

No, it is not gone, it is simply rehypothecated.

Printing of money without cover can't go to the infinity.

No, it is not gone, it is simply rehypothecated.

If you try to look smart, you just failed miserably. Read up rehypothecation and tell me why Germany should permit that.

BTW, I'm not your Freund.
