Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Bullion Star gold researcher Ronan Manly today examines the effort
in Romania's parliament to repatriate the country's gold reserves
from the Bank of England and concludes that it opens a new front
between democracy and the arrogance and unaccountability
of the central bank.

If legislators enact the bill, Manly writes,
"Romania looks set to join the ranks of Hungary, Austria, Germany,
and the Netherlands in bringing gold bars back into domestic storage.
Which European nation will be next after Romania?
Poland is a likely candidate, with 102.9 tonnes of gold
stored at the Bank of England."

Manly's analysis is headlined "The Domino Effect:
Romania Joins Gold Repatriation Exodus" and it's posted

Ronan Manly: Bank of England tears up its gold custody contract with Venezuela

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Confiscation of Venezuela's gold by the Bank of England, Bullion Star
gold researcher Ronan Manly writes today, seems to have been plotted
by the United Kingdom and the United States last April when
Venezuela's central bank paid Citibank $172 million to recover
gold bars kept at the Bank of England that had been given
as collateral for a loan.

In any case, Manly writes, the Bank of England's reputation as a safe
and impartial custodian of international gold reserves has been
destroyed.
Of course Venezuela's removal of so much gold from the Bank of England
might have greatly endangered the gold price management operation of
the major central banks, which is centered on the Bank of England.

Central Bank" and it's posted at Bullion Star here:

In Maduro's Venezuela, even counting gold bars is a challenge

Venezuela is home to rich gold deposits and holds billions of dollars
of foreign reserves in gold bars in the central bank's vaults.
The question is: How much is there?

The answer has taken on added significance as beleaguered President
Nicolas Maduro faces increasing pressure to resign.
Last week countries including the U.S. and U.K. recognized
the leader of the National Assembly, Juan Guaido,
as the Venezuela's legitimate leader, amid mass protests.
On Monday, the Trump administration issued new sanctions that
effectively block crude exports to the U.S.,
where Venezuela gets the bulk of its cash.

While crude is by far Venezuela's largest export, refined oil and
then gold both make up significant sources of revenue,
according to data compiled by the Observatory of Economic
Complexity of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
But both the nation's gold reserves and mining production
have dropped in recent years as Maduro's regime used
the yellow metal to generate hard currency in
international transactions -
- and even to exchange it for food and medicine. ...

CARACAS, Venezuela -- The White House warned traders on Wednesday
not to deal in Venezuelan gold or oil following its imposition of
stiff sanctions
aimed at forcing socialist President Nicolas Maduro from power.

National security adviser John Bolton tweeted that traders should
not deal in gold, oil, or other commodities "being stolen"
from the Venezuelan people, as opponents of Maduro's government
worried that a Russian-operated plane had shipped gold
out of Caracas this afternoon.
