What Gold Nationalization Really Means
Tyler Durden's pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/25/2013 19:40 -0400
Federal Reserve Nationalization New York Times
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
Gold owners are almost universally familiar with the story of
Franklin Roosevelt criminalizing the ownership of gold back in 1933.
Executive Order 6102 was signed on April 5, 1933, and it forbade
the “Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates
within the continental United States.”
Roosevelt further ordered that citizens in the Land of the Free
surrender their gold to the Federal Reserve in exchange for
$20.67 per troy ounce in Federal Reserve notes.
The term gold ‘nationalization’ is often thrown around.
But remember, with nationalization, it’s the state that
takes control of an asset.
Executive Order 6012 took assets from private individuals, and
then gave those assets to a private company – the Federal
Reserve.
This isn’t nationalization.
It’s just theft.
You’d think that the entire nation would have been in an uproar.
But surprisingly, this wasn’t the case.
In fact, the Executive Order didn’t even make the front page of
the New York Times, whose main headline the day after was
“BEER LEGAL AT MIDNIGHT”.
NYT front page What gold nationalization really means
It just so happened that prohibition was starting to be repealed
right when Roosevelt’s order was going into effect.
So people were too distracted with their pent-up, alcohol-
induced euphoria to really notice.
Very clever timing.
Of course, Roosevelt was not the first, nor the last, to
confiscate citizens’ gold.
One of my favorite stories involves Charles I of England, who
commandeered 200,000 pounds of gold in 1638 as the English Civil
War was approaching.
This gold belonged to private citizens, not to Charles.
The rightful owners trusted their king and were storing their
gold at the national mint for safe keeping.
This trust proved to be misplaced.
And Charles seized the gold, calling it a ‘loan’ (upon which the
English government subsequently defaulted).
This theme is consistent across history– governments have a
notorious, unblemished track record of fleecing their citizens,
particularly in times of desperation.
History shows that the likelihood of a government pillaging its
citizens’ wealth is directly proportional to that government’s
fiscal health.
Looking back, it seems so obvious.
I’m sure the day after the bank account freeze in Cyprus earlier
this year, people were probably thinking, “Wow, I can’t believe
I didn’t see that coming…”
Nearly the rest of the West is in the same position, or worse
off, than Cyprus– overextended banking systems, interminable
deficits, unsustainable debts, and strong precedents of setting
the law aside to violate people’s freedom.
All the warning signs are there. And just as in Cyprus, or in
17th century England, it’s going to be so obvious looking back.
This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to be proactive
now and move a portion of your assets abroad where they can’t
grab it.
As an example, there’s a fantastic private, secure storage
facility here in Vienna called Das Safe that I’ve been writing
about for a long time.
Das Safe has been around for three decades.
And because they’re not connected to any bank or government,
it’s possible to anonymously rent a safety deposit box where you
can store gold.
Under current US law, this is not reportable… so you can truly
hold your savings privately, outside the banking system.
Of course, gold is just one asset to think about.
There’s another asset that I’m even more concerned about
governments stealing: retirement accounts.
More on that another time.

May he Rest In Peace.
Van T. Barfoot died at the age of 92 on 2 March 2013.
Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag pole down on his
Virginia property a while back?
You might remember the news story several months ago about a
crotchety old man in Virginia who defied his local Homeowners
Association, and refused to take down the flag pole on his property
along with the large American flag he flew on it.
Now we learn who that old man was.
On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg , Texas . That
probably didn't make news back then.
But twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Carano , Italy ,
that same Van T. Barfoot, who had in 1940 enlisted in the U.S.
Army, set out alone to flank German machine gun positions from
which gunfire was raining down on his fellow soldiers.
His advance took him through a minefield but having done so, he
proceeded to single-handedly take out three enemy machine gun
positions, returning with 17 prisoners of war.
http://nesaranews.blogspot.ca/2013/07/may-he-rest-in-peace-van-t-barfoot-died.html
That probably didn't make much news either, given the scope of the
war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after
also serving in Korea and Vietnam , a well deserved Congressional
Medal of Honor.

Facts:
June 6, 1944 - D-Day, World War II, the allied invasion of Normandy.
It's the largest seaborne invasion in history.
The invasion's code name was Operation Overlord.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower commands the operation and plans are made to land in Normandy, west of where the German troops and artillery are built up.
President Roosevelt's D-Day prayer
Remembering D-Day
More: See historic photos from the landing
The "D" stands for Day. D-Day and H-Hour stand for the secret time/day an operation is scheduled to begin.
Code names for the five beaches where the Allies landed: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.
The date June 5, 1944 was originally chosen for the invasion, but bad weather forced the Allies to postpone one day.
Timeline:
August 19, 1942 - A raid on the French port of Dieppe that resulted in heavy losses convinces D-Day planners to land on the beaches, so discussions and preparations for an Allied invasion across the English Channel begin.
1944 - The Germans expect an invasion along the north coast of France, but they do not know where. They build up their troops and artillery near Calais, where the English Channel is the narrowest.
June 5, 1944 - Between 11 pm and 3 am 13,000 allied paratroopers and gliders carrying heavy equipment leave England to begin the invasion of France by air.
In a broadcast message to the troops, delivered before they leave, Eisenhower says: "The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to victory.... We will accept nothing less than full victory!"
June 6, 1944 - Overnight, a military armada and more than 156,000 troops cross the English Channel. Minesweepers go ahead to clear the waters in preparation for the more than 2,300 landing crafts that will be carrying men, vehicles and supplies.
Between midnight and 8 am, Allied forces of more than 11,000 aircraft, fly 14,674 sorties.
6:30 am - Troops begin coming ashore on a 60-mile front.

Hey Bob, remember we had something along these lines way back when Clinton was President. I think there was a soldier who basically told a NATO officer (Some third world doofus who probably had a rich daddy so he became an officer after paying a few bucks) to go screw after he got 'ordered' to do something. The soldier believed he only had to listen to orders form officers of the US Armed forces. He got in trouble becuase he was a soldier of 'NATO' and not of the US. Something like that. Kind of fuzzy, but I remember it being a big thing in the whole Clinton idea of we are just one big wonderful world.
It is always a problem when you are in the military, and your commander and chief may not be one that inspires a whole heck of a lot of confidence. I remember clearly when Clinton left the Presidency, a very high ranking NCO was teaching a class to soldiers and said something like "You need to always be your best, and not embarass yourself or the Army by any stupid behavior with females in your ranks, like that bastard Clinton. I can say that now, he is no longer my commander in chief, I held it back before and just soldiered on, and so should you" Basically, like anything else, you get great bosses and loser bosses, and you just have to sort of grin and bear it until the next one comes in, and hope for the best.
I got what this kid is going through, but you really do need to tone it down when it comes to the leadership. You can like or not like the guy in charge, but actively starting a dialogue against the guy is not a good idea. Calling him a 'Traitor' is completely insane, and those doing that should be slapped around. Throwing him out is a bit much too. He needs a good counseling from an NCO like I saw, understand that you will not always deal with the best, and 'charlie mike' until the next guy.
My 2 cents.
Are we disgusted more by 666 media-manipulated, STUPID populace
who would call this Marine a traitor than the expectedly
draconian response by his higher-ups....

20,000 servicemembers, vets lost homes in 2010
Foreclosure rate in zip codes near military bases increased 32%
By Gregg Zoroya - USA Today
Posted : Thursday Feb 3, 2011 22:24:48 EST
More than 20,000 veterans, active-duty troops and reservists who
took out special government-backed mortgages lost their homes
last year — the highest number since 2003.
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/02/usat-foreclosure-rates-on-servicemembers-increase-020311/
The rate of foreclosure filings in 2010 among 163 zip codes located near military bases rose 32 percent over 2008, according to RealtyTrac, a foreclosure research firm. This compares with a 2010 increase in foreclosures filings nationally of 23 percent over 2008.
The housing crisis has hit military families particularly hard in part because of transfers and the loss of civilian jobs left behind by reservists.
About 12,000 military families applied to the Pentagon’s
expanded Homeowners Assistance Program.
It makes up most of the difference in price for servicemembers
who must transfer and sell their homes for less than they owe,
or buys their houses outright.
“Our demand, in terms of (military) families coming to us for assistance went up 19 percent in 2010 over the previous year,” says Bill Nelson, executive director of USA Cares, a charity that provides financial assistance to Iraq and Afghanistan war-era troops.
Loans from private banks that are guaranteed by the Veterans Administration have historically outperformed other categories of mortgages, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. Through programs that include mortgage counselors, the VA helped 66,000 families avoid foreclosure last year, said Mike Frueh, VA assistant director for loan and property management.
“The 20,000 could have been much higher without that help,” Frueh said.
About 9,000 of some 12,000 military families who sought assistance under the Pentagon’s Homeowners Assistance Program were found eligible, said Don Chapman, an assistant program manager with the Army Corps of Engineers, which administers the plan.
“I hear so many sad stories every day of people calling me and
telling me why they should be eligible and why we should be
helping everyone and why we should be changing these dates,”
Chapman said.
Former Air National Guard Tech. Sgt. William “Tim” Wymore nearly lost his home last year in St. Charles, Mo., after his health declined following six months in Iraq.
Weak, confined to a wheelchair and suffering chronic headaches,
Wymore, 44, was forced to quit his job as a machinist.
His wife, Shanna, left her job to care for him.
More than $1,800 in grants from USA Cares helped pay utilities and their mortgage. They managed to keep their home.
“There were points where we thought everything we had worked for was going to be gone,” Wymore said.

Hello Veterans and military members! On this weekend, we honor those that are no longer with us, that died protecting our freedom and liberties. At the same time, we enjoy and be thankful for our lives, and spend them with family, friends, and with the people of this fine nation. If you are having a barbecue, if you are home doing chores, or if you are doing nothing on this holiday weekend, give a few minutes to remember those who gave their lives that we can enjoy what we have.
This Iraqi veteran thanks all of you out there, who were in Desert Storm, Vietnam, Korea, WWII. We walk in YOUR footsteps, and wear our uniforms proud, as you did when you served. I thank YOU for the sacrifices you made. May God bless you all and your families.
