Germany missing 45% of its gold 'stored in US'



RT * Published on Jul 7, 2014

Is the world's second largest gold reserve safe with the US? Missing gold bar numbers and an inability to audit the 45% of Germany gold reserve kept in the US Federal Reserve lead to the question if it's still there. RT's Peter Oliver reports.


- Gold?! Smold!! Why you be complaining Germany? Didn't we give you an IOU? Huh? Well, didn't we?

I remember this trick from lost and found.

"Does your gold have any identifying characteristics?" "Yep, it looks like a bar and it doesn't have numbers you can read"

I think the rule is whoever gets there first gets it.

The system only works if everybody just pretends their gold is still in the vault.

Have they hired Alex Jones as a consultant? Seems like it to me.
