Mine was voluntary. Wanted some peace and quiet.

HaHa, I doubt there is much if any gold in Fort Knox. It was drained years ago, that’s why Nixon took the US $ off the gold standard.

TEOTWAWKI I am not going to flee. If its my turn to die I would rather take it than to subsist on lamb quarter, sting weed, bugs and rodents. I am too old for that nonsense.

If a nuke hit 500 miles north of you and the wind was blowing it to you you would stay home?

Nuke will likely hit Wichita and Omaha if it happens. Hit Colorado Springs NORAD and Wright-Patterson in OH. So which way can you go?

Could just be one. Could be an accident. Maybe a nuke power plant. Anything can happen.

Just Google this "China buying gold". They are wanting to become the world's reserve currency at some point and bump the USD out of top spot. The Arabs are accepting Yuan for oil now, something that China used to have to pay for in USD. I doubt it will happen in the next couple years, but that would put U.S. currency on a par with some severe debtor nations currency, because we have 36 trillion of debt and nothing but good intentions to back it up with. Again, it won't happen soon, but we are on that path.

Central banks are gobbling up gold, although not the US.

The BRICS coalition is getting larger every day and are tired of the weaponization of the USD.

Al, I don't think it will be much longer and they will attempt a gold/commodities backed currency for international trade. Less than 5 years is plausible IMHO

Yup. That's why our government wants war with russia.

Dont kid yourself,the USA is the biggest customer for Gold from the mines in Canada.
My son works at one of the bigger ones and the USA buys 80% of the production.
I bet it is the same with all the other gold mines here.
The UK is also a huge customer for gold from here.
Those Brics clowns will be in for a big surprize when they find out how much gold is actually held by the USA.

I think bars of silver or gold would be so classy…
And a mansion with a big study and overstuffed armchairs and a polar bear rug and a couple Irish wolfhounds. And maybe a hedge labyrinth in the garden.
Champagne taste n beer money

BOCO, the US may very well buy the bulk of Canadian gold but it isn't the US government.

FYI China produces the most gold followed by Russia and Australia. China is also the largest consumer of gold

Yes it is the US govt that buys from Detour mine.
All they can get.

Now show the other chart that shows the amount in reserve.
And dont think that what they say is what they do.

Do you only believe what you want to believe when the gubmint tells you,lol.

Do you have any paperwork to prove it?

My son works at the mine and knows who buys the gold.
Detour produces 5 million per day-most to the US gubmint.
Likely the same with all the other mines owned by Agnico.

Anecdotal evidence isn't good enough.

What do you think happens to the fold exported to the UK?

Not anecdotal,my son works there and knows where the gold goes.
Simple as that.
I dont care if you believe it or not.
I know,

He doesn't know any more about Gold than he does being a Doctor.Hahahaaaa
