Was 911 a gold robbery?
I came across this when reading about the Federal Reserve.

ttp://www.gata.org/node/5812 Action group to demand documents and policy of gold swaps. The gold reserve has not done an audit for over 60 years. 60 YEARS!

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/gold.html Where's the gold and how much was there?

GATA (Action to get the truth of where is the gold)
"http://www.gata.org/node/5637
GATA's requests seek not only any documents showing gold swaps but also any documents identifying the legal authority for swaps and any documents describing the U.S. government's policy for engaging in them.

"These requests to the Federal Reserve and the Treasury are only the first we plan to make to seek a full accounting of the U.S. gold reserve," GATA Chairman William J. Murphy III explains. "We also plan to ask for documents involving gold loans and leases and any other possible impairments of the gold reserve.

"That reserve has not been audited in 60 years, even as intervention by governments in the currency and gold markets has been increasing dramatically. Investors have the right to know exactly what the U.S. government is doing to affect what are supposed to be free markets. And the U.S. gold reserve is part of the national patrimony, the birthright of every citizen. All we want is the truth. Who can be against that?"

GATA's FOI requests were prepared by the McLean, Virginia, law firm of William J. Olson, P.C., in association with GATA's consultant, the constitutional scholar and lawyer Edwin Vieira Jr., author of the monetary history of the United States, "Pieces of Eight."

http://www.gata.org/node/wallstreetjournal Anyone seen our gold advertisement in The Wall Street Journal.

http://www.gata.org/taxonomy/term/20 Articles about the "gold bugs".

Shouldn't the Secretary of Treasury and our Congress tell us why this has happened? 60 years without an audit. Is this not intension to steal? Is our gold missing? A Bush boy was on the board of the security company of the WTC.

2. Whose gold?
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 07:45 AM by mac2
This organization claims that gold found in the WTC wasn't part of the US Federal reserve. What was it and how much was it? How do they know this since the gold reserves haven't been counted in 60 years? Was it being stored there to steal it?

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE4DB1030F932A35752C1A9679C8B63 The area huge. What was Novia Scotia gold doing there? Ready to ship out to the Brits?

"Any gold at the WTC was not, as far as we know, part of the official U.S. reserve." GATA.

An investigation by the Congressional Banking Committee is needed regarding this.

We 911 Truthseekers have a lot of questions.

4. No.
Insofar as this really happened, it would be a secondary or collateral effect.

If 9/11 was an inside job, then the aims were: to gain carte blanche for the invasions planned in advance for Afghanistan and Iraq and to have carte blanche for all future actions styled as the "war on terror," within a larger geostrategic vision of maintaining empire in crisis and dealing with global oil depletion; to have an excuse for building up the domestic repression apparatus in anticipation of an empire and republic on the wane; to swallow TRILLIONS in resources on behalf of the military, intelligence, and new "Homeland Security" industrial complexes; and to personally enrich the key operators and their corporate clients to the tune of hundreds of billions.

At least, I think so. Why? Because all of these effects were predictable as following from an event such as 9/11; because 9/11 as inside job would have required orchestration by elements within the same government entities (the regime, the military, the intel complex) that actually implemented the effects I list above; and because a few tons of gold (or an insurance payoff or two) by comparison is peanuts, or rather: bonus.

You win! It's better than God Winslaw, or Dr. Ocktopus's Razor.

7. Well, it seems to work for wildbill, right?
Of course, all the laughing icon is meant to imply is that someone found something amusing.

9. I don't, but it was warranted in this instance.

I simply found the OP amusing for its ineptitude. How about you?
