This is obviously just a made up theory.
The "story" arose because of a citizen's action initiative in Germany that asked to audit Germany's gold reserves. That then escalated when it was found oout him much of Germany's gold was not actually in Germany and then a group of politicians and citizens took up the cause to repatriate the gold. It is all well documented in Der Speigel if you were truly following the 'story'.
No conspiracy or "leaked story" for those 'crazy goldbugs'. Try harder for another meme?
Since when do the governments do what small groups of active citizens desire?
Does the US audit the Fed or the Fort Knox because Ron Paul and his supporters -in the millions- ask that? No.
Do small groups of people, or even a few politicians, have any influence on how the government will act regarding its strategic resources like gold? The answer is again no.
Look, here in Greece for example there is a push from below to ask for the German loan during WW2 (occupied Greece was forced to loan Germany a few billions and then Germany never paid them back despite the end of the war and such). Do you really think citizens or politicians dictate if the government will actually demand it? 99% of the citizens are in favor, yet the government won't do it. Politicians from the entire spectrum are in favor and again the government won't do it.
The decision of Germany to ask repatriation has nothing to do with citizens activism. These are strategic decisions taken at an entirely different level. "Citizens action initiative" = null and void for the elite.
You are simply dumb Alex. I read a lot of your posts and you are either trolling or are dumb and you cannot even realize that. I dont even get a lot of the time what you really mean.
As far as i know it really came from "the people" there was simply probably too much pressure for a longer time and the gov. simply had to react, so he told the bundesbank to react and it had to "somehow" react. But hey, they still didnt see their gold...
Your assumption that the whole thing is just a trick how to discredit the gold bugs doesnt really seem plausible to me, its just too much work and risk for what? Its simply not worth it. If you fail to see it, than sorry but as i said your are not really bright... Also the term you are using "the elite" seems to me indicate something about you and its not a nice thing. Didnt mean that offensively, im just saying.
I'm dumb because I'm pointing the obvious that ordinary people don't have the power to effect strategic decisions of this type? Like activists can tell the government how many tons or what time plan for delivery will be followed. This is bullshit - you should have realized it the moment you were typing it. Activists demanding repatriation and the government caving in. Yeah, right. Like activism of auditing the fed and fort knox (wonder why that didn't happen... maybe activism doesn't work?)...
The Elite play the news game. Some times they create the scenarios and the news. Other times they play with the story itself that has evolved organically. That's how it works with commodities and you have no idea how the game is played - you think what you read is truth and repeat it like a parrot. Anyone who has a different view than the mainstream theory is "dumb" for your standards and, apparently, people who let the media and alternative media to guide their thinking process are the "smart" ones, like you.
So if today Germany is not getting its gold it means that there are "gold shortages" and if tomorrow Germany gets it, what will this mean? That gold is ok and there are no shortages? Don't you get it? No, apparently you don't.
As for the term elite, call them as you like... globalists, controllers, plutocrats, the 0.00001%, elite, the rulers of this planet etc. These guys own every politician, company, bank etc of the globalized nations. The globalized nations are, essentially, acting as one country with one government giving them directions for all things important like resources (and appear to be in disputes for the unimportant things like fiat money).
The yet-to-be-globalized countries are countries like China, Iran, Venezuela etc. These do not conform to the same type of universal over-control. Globalized countries will not push gold demand upwards precisely because they are controlled, in an orchestrated manner, from atop. They will sell their gold reserves together, they will move gold where needed etc. Non-globalized countries however are quite interested at pursuing their own national interests and as such they will be buying gold, demanding it where there is a problem etc etc.
Germany is a globalized country. On a superficial level "it wants its gold" without any other moves that show that Germany is serious with gold.
On the globalized level its irrelevant if the gold is in the vault of a globalized country or another globalized country. It's like a pair of trousers with 10 pockets. If you have 100$ in one pocket or the other pocket, it doesn't matter - it's all in the same pair of trousers. The only thing that globalists/elite etc care, are that the majority of gold won't leave for non-globalized destinations, or, worse yet, individuals like the citizens of India who are massive hoarders.
