The Currency War
(The US has long been considered a great place to stockpile gold for countries, however, what interested me is what Jim Rickards said about gold several months ago - that the US could simply take Germany's, and the rest of the European stockpiles, if the US had to continue to finance the ECB, IMF, and EU, as a result of the Euro crisis.
Why the problem now? Remember the sex scandal of IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and how he reportedly attacked a African cleaning lady? Research a little more, and you will find that Strauss-Kahn, who was trying to finance a bailout for Greece, was being told the US government already had liquidated the gold of the IMF.
Now, the Germans are reportedly coming to see if the US does have any of this gold, although the article attatched explains it simply, the US does not have the gold separated by vaults, but the bars are simply numbered.
If any of this is true, that the gold reserves in the US are not safe, then it will be an interesting 2013.)
"A new report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Federal Security Service (FSB) says that former International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged and jailed in the US for sex crimes on May 14th after his discovery that all of the gold held in the United States Bullion Depository located at Fort Knox was ‘missing and/or unaccounted’ for.
According to this FSB secret report, Strauss-Kahn had become “increasingly concerned” earlier this month after the United States began “stalling” its pledged delivery to the IMF of 191.3 tons of gold agreed to under the Second Amendment of the Articles of Agreement signed by the Executive Board in April 1978 that were to be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an alternative to what are called reserve currencies.
This FSB report further states that upon Strauss-Kahn raising his concerns with American government officials close to President Obama he was ‘contacted’ by ‘rogue elements’ within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who provided him ‘firm evidence’ that all of the gold reported to be held by the US ‘was gone’"

I would just like to make a few comments on this article:
Back in the days when Tony Blair was UK PM, one day in July, the whole London ATM network went down as they installed a new high speed trunk line between London and NY. When the computers came back up, all of the UK's gold was missing from their computerised account (the gold was being physically stored in NY) When the UK asked for the Gold back, the US replied that they would not give the gold back, but they would pay cash value for it, which was about $250 an ounce at the time. This is the reason that Tony Blair was fired (notice that Gordon Brown was not elected, but appointed).
This is also the reason why many people believe that Gordon Brown consensually sold most of the UK's gold reserves at a time when Gold was the cheapest it had been in years.
2 weeks after the incident with the ATM network being taken down, a small article in the Financial Times said that the Bank of England had to take out all their gold bars to re-test them because they were unsure of their purity because they had been there for 50 years.
Anyone who knows how good delivery works would know that this explanation is totally facile, since the gold bars never leave trusted banks. The only reason that this would happen is that the UK either needed the Gold to cover financial commitments, or the Gold had at some point been in the possession of the US and the BoE was worried that it may have been salted with tungsten or tampered in some other way while in US custody. Since then, financial tensions between the US and UK have been, lets say a bit lacking in trust, however, Tony Blair is doing great. Since turning Catholic, he has an account at the Vatican Bank and judging by the jobs he keeps getting given he certainly got paid.
