Before it happens it's conspiracy thinking to go around connecting random dots. After it happens, everyone will say it was obvious all along, if only you could have connected the dots. Dots such as famously bragging about defaulting on personal and business debts, big promises about radical reductions in debt levels with zero public plan for how it's supposed to happen, eagerness to renege on long standing treaty commitments, withdrawal from international organizations, threats of economic warfare against allies and adversaries alike, immediate seizure of the Treasury systems that execute payments for bond interest and principal, a stated desire to dramatically devalue the dollar, etc. Usually gold just sits in underground vaults and changes in ownership are recorded in a ledger. When massive quantities of physical gold are put on airplanes, something unusual is happening.
