Ukraine Loses All 33 Tonnes of Its National Gold Early One Morning

33 Tonnes of Ukraine gold gone

unmarked plane spirited 33 Tonnes of Gold away

It seems that last week 33 Tonnes of Gold left the Ukraine in an unmarked
aircraft and has left the country, presumably for safekeeping, but more than
likely forever. I doubt that the Ukrainian People will ever see that Gold
again.

The story broke two weeks ago in the Ukrainian Russian language publication iskra
News
.

Here is what the article states:

  • event took place at ‘Boryspil International Airport’
  • event occurred at 2 am
  • over 40 heavy boxes loaded
  • about 15 men in black with body armor – some armed with rifles
  • some other men got onto the plan
  • The plane took-off in a hurry (emergency take-off) destination unknown
  • When workers reported to local airport authorities they were told to “mind their own business”
  • The vehicles used to load to bring the boxes were unmarked
  • Order was given by acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yastenyuk

Here is my take on this story:

  • The Gold is gone forever
  • disappeared into the same black-hole as the Gaddafi Gold during the NATO raid on Libya
  • Mr Yastenyuk is not an elected leader of Ukraine
  • Mr Yastenyuk has experience as a Central Banker – is this really a coincidence?
  • rumor #1 – that the Gold was flown to the New York Federal Reserve
  • rumor #2 – flow to Switzerland to be shared/stored by Yulia Tymoshenko and cronies
  • plane was unwmarked and had no windows – hmmmm – if it was a 737 it is probably CIA Operations
  • rumor #3 – Blackwater did the dirty work – any filth Washington needs done can be done by these guys – murdering, rapping, looting, sacking …
  • GATA – Chris Powell – New York Fed on Ukrainian gold reserves: Don’t ask us
  • GATA – Chris Powell – Russian-Ukrainian news site describes transfer of Ukrainian gold to U.S.

Here is a Google Translation of the text:

As our site workers airport “Borispol” , this night in 2-00 , with the designated airport runway started unregistered transport plane …

According to the staff “Boryspil” , before it came to the airport four collector car and two cargo minibus Volkswagen, thus, all the arriving truck license plate missing . Car pulled out of about fifteen people in black uniforms , masks and body armor . Some of them were armed with machine guns . These people have downloaded the plane more than forty heavy boxes …

After that , some mysterious men arrived too entered the plane . All loading was carried out in a huge hurry . After unloading the car without license plates immediately left the runway , and the plane took off on an emergency basis …

All who saw this mysterious “special operation” airport officials immediately notified the administration of ” Boryspil “, from which received a strong recommendation ” not to meddle in other people’s business” …

Later, the editors called back one of the senior officials of the former Ministry of income and fees, which reported that , according to him, tonight, on the orders of one of the ” new leaders ” of Ukraine in the United States has been taken all the gold reserves in Ukraine …

So all very suspicious. Very, very supsicious.

Inflation – The Most Unjust of Taxes

The Romans were masters of debasing currency, or coinage as it was back then

Clipped Roman Silver coins – Debasement alive and well long, long ago

Most people, myself included, have been slyly brought up to never think about inflation as a form of direct government taxation. But that is exactly what it is. Make no mistake about that.

You see long ago (in days of olde, when Knights were bold), it became clear that once you start taxing people above the forties rate, at about 45% and above people start to squeal. The Kings, monarchs, princes, and Dukes needed revenues to fund their maniac wars. It became clear that you just can’t keep notching up the rate of taxation – much to the botheration of the ruling classes, as they would just revolt – and that was pretty boring situation to deal with.

I didn’t take long for them to realise that all they had to do what debase the currency. A technical term for removing some of the money from the money itself. Technically it’s called stealing. If you tried this they would throw you in jail.

Back in the day a wedge would be cut out of the coins that were actually made of gold, silver and mixes thereof. If the lord of the manor needed more money he would just legally” debase the coin (currency of the day).

Back then it was bleedin’ obvious that someone had hacked a chunk out of the gold coin. The more sly rulers would actually replace the metals with others.

Today, however the control lords have reached the ultimate form of debasement Nirvana. This is why it cannot last. We are all totally blind to the debasement. There are two ways that are overlords manage this debasement:

  • Money Printing (so-called Quantitative Easing)
  • Fractional Reserve Banking

so to conclude – Inflation is used and manipulated by Government to it’s own ends for at least half a millennium and that is a hard drug to give up.

We no longer have a sound economic financial system – It has long been replaced by a dysfunctional Ponzi Scheme.

Make ready your plans.

IMF “to admit mistakes” in handling Greek debt crisis and bailout – My response…

Here is a short piece that I felt I had to interject at The Guardian (UK)

RagingGoldenBul unleashes on The Guardian (UK) about the IMF (International Mafia Federation)

RagingGoldenBul unleashes on The Guardian (UK) about the IMF (International Mafia Federation)

😉

RagingGoldenBul – 05 June 2013 6:54pm

Recommend: 77

Let us not ponce about the proverbial bush here my brethren:

The IMF (short for: International Mafia Federation) is nothing more than another phony instrument created by the US government, for the US government, along with World Bank at that infamous Bretton Woods (1944) meeting where they strong armed the rest of the world over 21 long, grueling, and I would put it to you arduous days (blood must have been pouring from the poor delegates ears after day 12) while the world was still at WAR. Picture it.

Oh how they seized their chance, dragged in John Maynard Keynes (UK in collusion – special relationship you know), and invented a crock, because no one had any choice. No Choice.

It is well known that M. Lagarde (after they ditched DSK) let the cat out of the “bail-in” bag way too early for the FedReserve, and the ECB, and thus both the Bernanke and the Draghi are now sour-pusses. After those trillions of USDs that helicopter Ben printed-up, M. Lagarde blew it in one momentary lapse of reason. Now Ben will bail-out himself of the picture at end of the current term as Governor of the Fed.

Everyone knows that “Bail-ins” are coming now to a Bank near you real soon….Are you ready for that?

Why does anyone listen to a word these guys (International Mafia Federation) say anymore? Why do they point to them as if they are credible?

It all leads back to one thing – US Dollar hegemony, and anything to keep that puppy alive – alas brethren, the end is nigh.

Please excuse my rather fruity and colorful language (sausage I hate US English 😉 )…

Original Article:

The International Monetary Fund is to admit that it has made serious mistakes in the handling of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece, according to internal reports due to be published later on Wednesday.

Documents presented to the Fund’s board last Friday will reveal that the Washington-based organisation underestimated the damage austerity would cause to the eurozone country, which has required two bailouts in the past three years.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the papers would say that financial support from the Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission had bought time for Greece but had only been made possible because the IMF had bent its own rules to make the country’s debt look more sustainable than it was. According to the WSJ report, Greece failed to meet three of the Fund’s four tests to qualify for help.

A Fund spokeswoman said: “We will be publishing a number of papers on Greece later today. The board met last Friday to discuss several documents on Greece including the review of its programme and its annual economic assessment.”

Greece became the first eurozone nation to require a bailout by the international community in 2010, but needed a second round of financial assistance in early 2012 when a deep recession and high interest payments threatened to send its debts spiralling out of control.

The so-called troika of the IMF, ECB and EC forced private sector bondholders to write down the value of their Greek bonds in an attempt to bring the country’s debts down to sustainable levels of 120% of national income by 2020.

Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the Fund, has said many times over the past year that Greece should now be in a position to pay off its debts, but the WSJ reports that IMF staff believe this cannot be said with any certainty.

In Athens, officials reacted with barely disguised glee to the news.

The report confirms what Greek officials have long said: that the first bailout of uncompromising budget cuts and tax increases, the price of 110 bn euro in emergency funds in May 2010, was the wrong prescription for a country not only batting a monumental debt load but rampant tax evasion and a flourishing black economy.

Under the weight of such measures – applied across the board and hitting the poorest hardest – the economy, they said, was always bound to dive into an economic death spiral. “For too long they [troika officials] refused to accept that the programme was simply off-target by hiding behind our failure to implement structural reforms,” said one insider. “Now that reforms are being applied they’ve had to accept the bitter truth.”

The Greek media recently quoted IMF managing director Christine Lagarde describing 2011 as a “lost year” partly because of miscalculations by the EU and IMF. The authoritative Kathimerini newspaper said the report identified a number of “mistakes” including the failure of creditors to agree to a restructuring of Greece’s debt burden earlier – a failure that had had a disastrous effect on its macro-economic assumptions.

“From what we understand the IMF singles out the EU for criticism in its handling of the problem more than anything else,” said one well-placed official at the Greek finance ministry. “But acknowledgement of these mistakes will help us. It has already helped cut some slack and it will help us get what we really need which is a haircut on our debt next year.

Quote – Denis Healey on Tax Evasion

Denis-Healey

“The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison wall”

– Denis Healey (former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer 1974 – 1979)

Tax avoidance is simply clever financial planning, while tax evasion is illegal. Of course, governments would say that wouldn’t they?

Mark Carney Announced as next Governor of the Bank of England

A shock and surprise announcement from George Osbourne today as he announced the Canadian Mark Carney as the next Governor of the Bank of England. Do not doubt that this is one of the top jobs in the UK.

Mr. Mark Carney will be next Governor of the Bank of England

George Osbourne defended his decision by stating that Mr. Carney was:

“The outstanding Central Banker of his generation.”

He also said that he was the best man for the job in the whole world bar none. I think it speaks more for how unsuitable the home grown UK talent was than anything else.

This is the first time since the creation of the Bank of England back in 1694 that it has been governed by a non British subject, in this case a Canadian. But Mr. comes highly qualified for the job.

He has managed arguably the best economy in the world Canada which has not had one bank bailout. In fact he has come through with his reputation enhanced. He understands Capital Markets. He worked for Goldman Sachs for 13 years (possibly not such a good thing! Could this be a case of Goldman getting “their man” into the BoE, and a “printer” into the system?). He speaks fluent French, went to Oxford University, already lived in the UK for a decade, his wife and children are British subjects, and he will apply for British citizenship.

Mr. Carney is also the current chairman of the board of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) which in itself is a considerable achievement and vote of confidence as this organization includes all G20 nations

This is a slap in the face for Mr. Paul Tucker who was touted as the next Governor . Too bad, LIBOR scandal for sure screwed that one up, and his dealings with Mr Bob Diamond.

In another departure from the norm he will only serve a 5 year term instead of the more usual 8 year, and Charlie Bean will stay on serving his current term.

Big Question: How will this effect the UK money printing practices and will we see more Quantitative Easing with Mr. Carney at the helm?

Quote – Alexander Haig on Taxes

Alexander Haig

Mr Alexander Haig, a true “Patriot”?

“Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes.”


US secretary of state who failed to avert the Falklands war, and the chief of staff who sustained Richard Nixon’s presidency. He never faced an electorate in his life, but he ran the White House almost in secret during the 15 months up to President Richard Nixon’s resignation in August 1974 – taking over the impetus of a paralysed presidency in a manner that, however necessary under the circumstances, was barely constitutional.
