With a title
like, the Rape and Pillage of Humanity, many of you are probably expecting
this paper to be a story about greed, power, misplaced trust and abuse in
College Football. So if you thought that – you’d be wrong.
Instead, this
is tale about greed, power, misplaced trust and abuse in our global monetary
system – and what Central Bankers have done to it. In short,
they’ve taken us to the showers and had their way with us all.
Background
Back in Oct.
2006, I wrote a paper titled, A
Swap Story: Borrowed From The Bank of England. This paper acknowledged the existence of
gold quality swaps on the books of the Bank of England – post yr. 2000
- excerpt below:
A
Swap Story: Borrowed From The Bank of England
By: Rob Kirby | Wed, Oct 18, 2006
….In doing a bit of research
about the make up of Great Britain's sovereign gold
reserves, I ran across this tidbit [footnote
on the bottom of page 5 of 8 of the pdf file]
regarding different types of gold swaps that the Bank of England presumably
utilizes,
"Under a gold location swap, gold
stored in a particular physical location is swapped with a
market counterparty for specified period with gold stored in another
physical location. Under a gold quality swap, gold of a particular quality
[fineness] is swapped with a market counterparty for
a specified period with gold of different fineness. In each case a fee is
built into the transaction."
To be honest, until today, I've never
heard of a "GOLD QUALITY SWAP". Given the amount of research
I've done in this area - I would only offer that this would make a Gold
Quality Swap a "rare bird" indeed. But this got me to thinking WHO
could possibly be involved in such a transaction if one were to occur.
And With Inclusion In These Footnotes, They Do Occur...
Fundamentally, a Gold Quality Swap
would allow the holder of "less than fine" bullion to effectively
sell or transact it publicly and remain anonymous. GOLD COIN melt just
happens to ALL be 22 carat. Now ask yourself who would possibly care
about such a thing? After all, Central Banks have declared gold a Barbarous
Relic, sell it all the time - and
usually have news conferences to pre announce up coming
sales to boast about them, don't they? So why would a sale of "less than
pure" gold need to be kept a secret? The "best fit" / counter
party is; the US TREASURY OR THE FED [see
argument below] was the other side of these trades. In fact, they are the
most plausible counterparty for such a transaction - arising from the great
confiscation of gold coin in the U.S. in 1933.
You see, U.S. sovereign gold stocks
are alleged to be 8,133 tonnes. The breakdown is as
follows;
- roughly 4,500 tonnes of fine gold [400 oz. good deliver bars]
- the balance in less than fine [22 carat] coin melt bars
Why Would The Treasury Keep This So Quiet?
If the U.S. Treasury were
"known" to be selling this "melt" gold - disorderly
markets could ensue. Remember folks, the U.S. Treasury is alleged to own
4,500 tonnes of fine deliverable gold bars stored at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and
West Point, N.Y. If there was need for them to "mobilize" coin
melt, it raises an even bigger question mark as to whether or not this 4,500
tonnes of fine gold is still there to sell?
Back in 2006, I
speculated that the only logical counterparty for a gold quality swap would
necessarily be the U.S. – due to the makeup of sovereign U.S. gold
bullion reserves – with large known stashes of confiscated 22 carat
coin melt.
Speculation Confirmed
Fast forward to
this past Friday, November 11, 2011 in Bill Murphy’s daily Midas
commentary at Lemetropolecafe.com
– a contributor named Ronan Manley found on a U.N. Treaty website and posted
the following regarding gold quality swaps:
Important: US-UK Gold Swap Contract
See attached. This is the gold swap
contract between the US Treasury and HM Treasury, 16th January 1981.
Notice US swapped US-assay stamped bars against London good delivery bars.
This is a gold location swap and a gold quality swap.
The source at the UN treaties web site:
http://untreaty.un.org/unts/60001_120000/9/10/00016474.pdf
Lots of interesting legal clauses on how these swaps work, including an
option to reverse the swap at a later date…

Important: US-UK Gold Swap Contract
It looks like its the contract for the gold swap that the US
Treasury did with the UK Treasury as part of the Iran hostage deal in January
1981.
The Iranians had gold at the Fed. This
was seized. Then for some reason the US Treasury had to source some other
gold as part of the deal. Where did the original Iranian gold go? And it's
puzzling as to why they couldn't source good delivery bars and had to use
US-government stamped bars. Notice the wording is vague about fineness for
these bars. A certain number of bars just has to add
up to the approximate total fineness of the London bars.
Anyway, it raises questions as to why
they needed to do this swap in the first place, and how long was it
outstanding, and whether similar swaps (but not through the UN) were done
subsequently; and it's a good template if any legal people want to examine it
as an example.
Respectfully,
this smoking gun evidence that the U.S. Treasury [via the N.Y. Fed] was
involved in gold quality swaps with the Bank of England as early as 1981 does
MUCH MORE than raise questions – it PROVIDES ANSWERS:
The referenced
gold quality swap was for the expressed purpose of procuring “good
delivery bars” of gold bullion. What the good delivery bars were
required for at that time is moot. Known [advertised] U.S. gold reserves
[8,100 metric tonnes] are supposed to contain 4,500 tonnes of good delivery
bars of gold bullion – which the U.S. Treasury has steadfastly
maintained has not been altered or otherwise “in play” for
decades. The fact that America needed to procure good delivery bars tells us
that back in 1981 – the U.S. DID NOT POSSESS ANY GOOD DELIVERY BARS of
gold bullion. Additionally, the notion that America needed to mobilize
“coin melt” as early as 1981 would carry with it the strong
likelihood that the U.S. has “burned through” or squandered their
ENTIRE STASH of sovereign gold bullion – and perhaps owns NONE.
Do note how the
communications between the U.K. Treasury and U.S. Treasury are addressed to
the N.Y. Fed on behalf of the U.S. Treasury [specifically, this would be for
the Exchange Stabilisation Fund or ESF – a secretive arm of the U.S.
Treasury unaccountable to Congress that EXCLUSIVEY operates through the N.Y.
Fed]:
In the case of
the United States Treasury to:
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Fiscal Agent of the United States
33 Liberty Street
New York, New York 10045
Attention: Foreign Department
And in the case
of the U.K.:
In the case of HMG to:
Bank of England
Threadneedle Street
London, EC2R BAH
Attention: Foreign Exchange Division
Note how the
Bank of England deals with gold bullion through their foreign exchange
division. This underscores and serves as further confirmation that GOLD IS
AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN MONEY.
Conclusion
What these
revelations tell us is that Central Bankers LIE, DECEIVE and HARVEST what is
sacred / the tangible wealth of countries in which they operate. The notion
that such atrocities could and do happen without being widely disclosed
should no longer be hard for anyone to grasp. Powerful men and “leaders”
entrusted to safeguard what society holds dear have clearly demonstrated
their propensity to conspire, hide, obstruct and remain silent even when
confronted with OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE - while that cherished treasure is
defiled, stolen, sodomized or discarded in the name of protecting and
perpetuating the status quo.
“We came, We saw, We stole”
Whatever is
being “stored” at Ft. Knox – rest assured IT IS NOT GOOD
DELIVERY BARS OF SOVEREIGN U.S. GOLD BULLION. It’s likely not gold at
all.
Wake up people.
If you
don’t have physical bullion yet, you’re in good company –
either does America.
