Primed by the revelations about the NSA recently, I'm not as hesitant to believe this as I normally would be. Conspiracy theories like this are always easy to laugh at until there's enough proof to tip you off that there's actually something happening. Right now it's just a few whistleblowers, but every story has to start somewhere.
I would say that I am not a believer in a massive conspiracy to control the world's money, except that really, I hope there is. I really hope that a lot of the world's problems are caused by a cartel of a few bad suits. That way when the dust settles, either the world is a better place, or we at least know who led us to this place.
A few things in the article (Oh just go read it, it's not that long) that need some discussion:
> "there are even plans in place to impose martial law in the United States, she said."
Really? That I'm going to need some proof on.
> "The World Bank whistleblower also said that contrary to official claims, she did not believe there was any gold being held in Fort Knox. "
That's Oceans Eleven level stuff. I can just imagine the guards patrolling around empty rooms that they think are full of gold. I'm interested to see the truth level of this statement, but that's a bit too outlandish for now.
I'm glad whistleblowers are stepping forward. In the train stations, there's a motto plastered on every wall - "If you see something, say something". We just need to make sure that runs both ways.

I'm interested to see the truth level of this statement, but that's a bit too outlandish for now. well, put that way, yeah, I agree. but eh, from what I understand, the standard assaying process is not thorough enough to catch, say, a chunk of tungsten in the gold. So it would kinda surprise me if most of the gold sold at the corner gold and silver shop had the advertised gold content. The government having at least some fake gold? would also be unsurprising. The government intentionally storing fake gold? okay, now we're starting to get into crazy town, but... not impossible crazy. I mean, I'm not saying the gold in fort knox is fake... but I don't think it's an impossible idea.
- 20after4 13y agoInteresting documentary, though really long, which goes through a lot of history of the financial system and it's manipulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeIM-4hJO44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeIM-4hJO44
