My two cents on the repatriation of French gold bars:
– France asked to return their 12.5 kg gold bars
– US had already sold them
– US offered to wire the money
– France accepted and bought new 12.5 kg gold bars in London
– Both countries agreed on the following spin to sell the story:
– new bars bought to ‘meet current standards’
– Spin is 100% bullshit
– 12.5 kg 999.9 pure gold bars have always been 999.9 pure gold bars of 12,5 kg
– previous gold repatriations always happened without the ‘ need for ‘current standards’
– MSM doesn’t ask questions and prints spin
– Another PR disaster avoided for the US/FED
– The rigging of the dollar system can go on
– The can can be kicked a bit further down the road
