Governments are but legalized force. People form governments as protection from external and domestic enemies who would harm them and steal their property. But, governments produce nothing on their own; they can only acquire through conquest, bequeathal, confiscation, fraud, theft, and deception. They are granted certain powers by the representatives of the people so they may govern (protect) the citizenry. One of those granted powers has always been (the US Constitution is the exception) to grant them the exclusive monopoly to issue money. As people for millennia have trusted gold as money, governments to gain acceptance and trust for their monopoly money, assure its acceptance by its people by "backing" it with gold in a national treasury. Now, that gold got into the national treasury by exchanging the new government money for gold held by its citizens, acquired it in conquest, or confiscated it from its people. Never has gold been acquired by a government by any honorable means. Our societal structure makes it so.
It's taken me the long route to get to my point which is this: gold reclaimed by the people is liberty restored. Central banks without gold are like soldiers without rifles. When paper promises are broken, and a currency declines as is the US dollar, it is evidence that people are reclaiming what is rightfully theirs. They are taking back that which was taken from them by dishonorable methods.
It is now becoming widely accepted that the world's central banks have shorted (sold) as much as 15,000 tons of their gold reserves in a concerted effort to suppress gold's price as measured in paper currencies. They are nearly out of ammo now, and must come up with new and creative methods (dishonorable means) to re-acquire it and restore confidence in their paper substitutes, or go out of business......overthrown or collapse from within.
It is for these reasons that the IMF, and most especially the US Treasury will not dump what little gold they have left. The gold jackals are snapping at the world's bankers now, and to sell what little gold remains will be to bring on the buzzards for a voracious feed at the carcasses of fallen governments.
When one thinks this through there is boundless opportunity for optimism that individual freedoms can be reclaimed. There may be wars, true, as governments seek to save themselves through conquest and theft. But for us little peeples our descendents shall have the marvelous opportunity to rebuild a societal structure founded on individual liberties without tyranny.
