Well, well, well. Something incredibly strange is afoot. What exactly is
happening is the million dollar question. Regardless of what it is, a shift
has occurred that has shocked many in the precious metals community and has
others scratching their heads in confusion.
Everyone knows that the West has been bleeding gold for decades,
especially the United States, which has systematically been selling their
citizen's true wealth and hollowing out the foundation of their financial
system. Yet, a massive and dramatic shift has occurred. A massive amount of
gold is flowing BACK towards the United States.
Switzerland, which typically exports a minor 0.5 metric tonnes per month
to the United States, has just completely gone into full gear and exported a
monster amount of gold in the month of May 2016.
How much gold you ask? A whopping 20.7 metric tonnes! This is a complete reversal of what
we have been seeing in the past, where typically the United States is the one
exporting gold to Switzerland and the UK.
This amount huge and is fifty times more than Switzerland's typical gold
export average. It's more than the total exported since the year 2000!
So what in the world is going on? Why this drastic shift and why is it
occurring now? This is exactly what many in the precious metals community are
now trying to figure out. The tin foil hats have been taken out of the
closet, dusted off, and for good reason.
This should be ringing alarm bells for anyone that is truly
"awake". Many times before, those of us in the precious metals
community, who have been deemed "conspiracy theorists", have been
vindicated. We hope, though, that this is one of those times that hopefully
it doesn't occur.
This massive gold outflow into the U.S. has not been seen since WWII, and
is leading many to ponder what others have speculated, including the
president of Russia, Vladimir Putin: is the world heading towards a global
war (WWIII)?
Let's hope not. Let's just hope that this is a massive overreaction to the
fears caused by the recent BREXIT results, which we have written about
recently and speculated that they are wildly overblown.
Either way, something is afoot and it is only a matter of time before the
light will fall on this event. Let's hope that it is nothing, for the sake of
us all.
