Yeah, yeah, yeah.......the IMF trots out this nonsense year after year, even several times a year, in coordintion with the cartel's takedown of gold in the paper markets....as most here probably are more than aware of.

As the article goes on to note, it requires the approval of the US Congress, on behalf of the holders of the gold, the citizens of the US, which for one thing has never approved of such requests. Even if they did, they would not vote on it until next year sometime.

Secondarily, the IMF does not divulge whether it actually has any gold at all in it's vaults. It only has access to a percentage of gold in the vaults (supposedly) of said members, such as the US. So there is great doubt as to whether or not they could actally access any gold at all.

The next little ditty is that whatever gold is still left in the U.S. vaults, supposedly over 8000 tons, may not indeed be there. No official audits have been done since the fifties and they arenow referring to their gold supposedly vaulted, as being "deep storage", a third classification of said gold in recent years.

The western central banks of the world have supposedly got 35,000 tons of gold in their vaults, at least 15,000 tons or more of which has been sold/leased into the markets and sold off ...but duplicitously registered. So, the central banks have already lost this gold into the eastern markets and it is not recoverable. So, there is little gld left to continue to short the bullion makets with.

It goes on forever but suffice it to say that the end of the road for the gold suppression scheme started by Robert Rubin back in the Clinton days has nearly terminated.
