Gold Monitoring Thread £ GBP only

i was just posting a tweet by a senior Chinese diplomat in the Middle East.
The first thing the US does when it invades a country is to steal the gold. That's common knowledge i thought.

Anyway

Since the Fed attacked Gold last night the paper-Gold price has been stabling.

"When I first laid eyes on the truck and saw the gold bars I could not believe it," Gozy said. "It is hard for me to believe that Saddam and his regime could hoard that kind of money and have the majority of his people living in poverty. It's disheartening."

According to Gozy, the gold will be turned over to the Iraqi government once it's established and used for the people. 

"It feels good to be able to give this gold/money back to the people who need it,"

Interesting that it supposedly went back to the Iraq govt the US backed. Probably payments to the US-backed Iraq government.

I mean, seriously.

 

It was a joke.

 

But why let that stand in the way of a good conspiracy.

Fair play. And to @sixgunfor going off to do the research and watch the film.

Overtime i have known quite a few Iraqis - i am friends with one to this day. They are doctors. One was my registrar when i first started work. He was sent to London to train and the Iraqi government paid for all of it. There are plenty of people ended up in poverty but that was a result of the country being destroyed by Western armies.

No ones claiming $20trillion worth of gold was stolen and the trillions of Oil, there is evidence shown and admitted that a lot of Gold was ordered to go to the US-led new Iraq government (clearly as payments). Plus, Halliburton had major stakes in Oil companies which were owned by **** Cheney AFTER Saddam got toppled on the WMDs lie.

The US put in a new gov, where the US (companies that are in direct relationship with the Pentagon) owned their major oil assets. Simple.

Western troops (US-UK) went in there to topple the government for elites to get wealthier.

The point being its old speculation.

The Libyan Chinese diplomat (the tweet shared) seems to imply the photos are rare. They aren't. He at least got that bit wrong.

Widely shared, for years, sometimes debunked.

He was using satire hence the WMD comment.

You sure they're not from "Kelly's Heroes" (1970)?

We can only hope it has an impact...what ever they are saying(if anyone finds a translate, please share).

They are basically going to be taking the VAT away from gold, much like the UK already has, am i reading this correctly?
