Dans sa plus récente étude intitulée ‘Dr. Zijlstra's Final Settlement: Gold as the Monetary Cosmos' Sun’, l’économiste Hollandais Jaco Schipper, de chez MarketUpdate.nl, nous fournit d’importantes informations relatives au schéma de suppression du prix de l’or par les banques centrales Occidentales.
Jelle Zijlstra est l’ancien trésorier, premier ministre et banquier central des Pays-Bas. C’est dans son mémoire que Schipper a pu relever des informations clé quant à la suppression du prix de l’or, dont un paragraphe impliquant l’ancien directeur de la Réserve Fédéral Paul Volker – et dont la participation au processus de manipulation du prix de l’or avait été précédemment notée par le GATA :

Zijlstra savait ce que ses écrits impliquaient. Il était non seulement directeur de la banque centrale de son pays, mais également, jusqu’à son passage à la retraite en 1981, président de la BRI, dont la suppression du prix de l’or semble être l’une des fonctions premières :

Comme l’indique Schipper, Zijlstra détaille dans son mémoire les efforts répétés du gouvernement des Etats-Unis à décourager l’utilisation de l’or comme moyen d’échange, et note également que ‘le prix de l’or est artificiellement maintenu à un prix très bas’.
Zijlstra indique également que les banques centrales ont depuis un certain temps intégré dans leurs bilans non seulement leur or, mais également ce qu’elles appellent ‘avoirs en or’, qui ne sont autres qu’un mécanisme d’inflation imaginaire des réserves d’or officielles.
We welcome Zijlstra, if only posthumously, to the ranks of gold "conspiracy theorists," and will have a tin-foil hat engraved in his honor.
Accueillons donc si vous le voulez bien feu Zijlstra parmi les rangs des théoriciens de la conspiration.

Dr. Zijlstra's Final Settlement: Gold as the Monetary Cosmos' Sun

Whenever I am in Amsterdam, I go to a bookstore and browse the second-hand shelves in the economics section. Recently I found two books by Dr. Jelle Zijlstra: "Dr. Jelle Zijlstra, Conversations and Writings" (1979, second edition) and "Per Slot Van Rekening" (1992, fifth edition). The latter title is a Dutch figure of speech that may be translated as "The Final Settlement."
The covers of the books are shown here:

Jelle Zijlstra was a renowned Dutch economist and one of Holland's finer statesmen. Early in his career in 1948, shortly after World War II, he became a professor, specializing in the velocity of money. By 1952 he was appointed minister of economic affairs, then Dutch treasurer from 1958 to 1963 and again from 1966 to 1967. During his last term as treasurer he led the Dutch Cabinet as prime minister as well until 1967, after which he became president of De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). While president of the Dutch central bank he was appointed as the president of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) as well, positions he held until his resignation in 1981.
You can read a little about this extraordinary man at Wikipedia here:

In Zijlstra's first book, "Dr. Zijlstra," he writes about his career and his time as president of De Nederlandsche Bank and the BIS. While he was DNB president the international Bretton Woods agreement collapsed, and he goes into great detail about what happened. He writes about the "European" group's interests, about the cultural and financial ties between Germany and the Netherlands, the relationships with France and Great Britain, and, of course, about the position of the United States.
It gets especially interesting when Zijlstra writes about then-U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Paul Volcker and Federal Reserve Board member Dewey Daane of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank. On the July 7, 1971, Volcker and Daane arrived in Amsterdam to urge the Dutch government not to convert any more of its dollar reserves into gold.
Zijlstra writes (p. 191): "From the beginning of 1971 we had already converted almost $600 million in return for gold or an asset on an equal footing."
This phrase -- "an asset on an equal footing" -- is peculiar, since from an investor's or central banker's perspective there is no equivalent to physical gold. Let this be very clear: There is no asset that stands on equal footing with gold. You either own it or you do not.
But central bank balance sheets account for official gold reserves under the description "gold and gold receivables" and apparently have done so back to times before Z...
