Gaddafi's hoard of central-bank Gold Bullion in Libya?
Follow only Zero Hedge and the gold-bug blogs, and
you might think the Financial Times kicked off the idea
on last Monday night.

It claimed that Gaddafi will/might/maybe-could finance his
mercenary army by giving them gold straight out of
Libya's 143.8-tonne central bank hoard.

GOLD plus Gaddafi –
what more sexing up could a story need to rob it like;
WTC 9/11 GOLD, Iraq Gold, Fort Knox GOLD, TSAR RUSSIA's GOLD,
SWISS-Germany GOLD etc.?

Yet a bigger and bolder claim was in fact made, and in
the name of bombing Tripoli too, four days before.

"Gaddafi remaining in power will be a destructive and
destabilizing force throughout the Arab world,"
wrote British lord David Owen in The Daily Mirror last Friday. "

[Gaddafi] has amassed considerable undeclared gold reserves
and he will use that money to create trouble not just
for immediate neighbors’ but further afield."

Oh, has he now, and will he indeed?

A handful of diplomats have claimed in the past that Gaddafi
wanted to build WMDs.

But gold reserves of mass destruction?

No one we've checked with knows where Lord Owen might have
got such certainty (and we checked with a few).
Short of Owen actually being Gaddafi's agent in the market –
as one wag joked to me today –
it's quite the claim.

Yes, there have been rumors about Libya buying gold
and not declaring its new reserves for many years,
but nothing has ever been substantiated.

Gold's unofficial "black market" is widely accepted as huge,
and Philip Klapwijk of the GFMS consultancy reckons
central-bank reserves worldwide might stand 10% above
the officially-stated total, currently put at 27,220 tonnes.

What's more, Libya was exporting 1.6 million barrels of oil
per day ahead of the rebellion, and it's hard to imagine
Gaddafi keeping all of that cash in dollars.

Yet his central bank's reported gold reserves haven't
changed since 1998, long before Tony Blair shook his
hand and – quite coincidentally – the man convicted
of the Lockerbie Bombing was set free.

So maybe Lord Owen is in the know, with the CIA or Tripoli
itself choosing to tip-off the 73-old peer.

There's nothing in the public domain to confirm or support
his assertion, and there's nothing (yet) on WikiLeaks.

But either way, here is Owen, the grand old man
(or "mountebank" as Michael Foot called him) of
British diplomacy using Libya's unknown and
unknowable gold hoard to urge that very same
“liberal intervention” in the desert which took us
to Kandahar and Basra...the very same kind of choosing
sides which he himself tip-toed around at the cost
of 100,000 lives in the early 1990s Bosnian War.

Make no mistake:
Gold, just like David Owen, is always a political beast.
But gold doesn't pick winners and it doesn't claim
to know right from wrong.

Owning it gives you freedom from external control,
be it inflation or UN sanctions.

But just as gold doesn't make you right (despite what the
blogosphere's millenarian cult of "true money" might claim),
it certainly doesn't make you bad by association.
Not yet.

Next GOLD Target;
"Iran has bought large amounts of gold in the international
market, according to a senior Bank of England official,
in a sign of how growing political pressure has driven
Tehran to reduce its exposure to the US dollar..."

So said the Financial Times on a Sunday night –
more than three days after Lord Owen filed his copy to
The Mirror, and one day before the FT itself began talking
up Mad Dog's gold-of-mass-destruction hoard.

A cable dated June 2006 shared with the paper by WikiLeaks
(which wants "to keep government open" it says, with no hint
of self-awareness or irony) apparently records
the Bank of England's head of banking telling a
US official that
"significant moves by Iran to purchase gold"
had been observed –
"an attempt by Iran to protect its reserves from risk
of seizure."

Prompted by such news, one or other un-named "market" source
then made so bold as to tell the FT that
"Tehran has been one of the biggest buyers of bullion over
the past decade after China, Russia and India,
and is among the 20 largest holders of gold reserves.

"They estimate it holds more than 300 tonnes of gold,
up from 168.4 tonnes in 1996, the date of the most
recent International Monetary Fund data."

The upshot?
In today's attention-deficit analysis,
"Gold [is] key to financing Gaddafi struggle,"
as the FT's other mad-regime bullion article was headlined
by the sub-editor.

Put another way, Libya's Gold Bullion hoard is
"enough to pay ISRAEL for mercenaries to fight for him
for years,"
says the Sydney Morning Herald.

All in bildersburgz nwo 666 population plus GOLD control.
