General Discussion

The soviet socialists looted the Reichsbank in Berlin in 1945, and kept the gold locked up in a special vault in the Urals until the Soviet Union broke up. A rogue band of KGB agents spirited millions upon millions of old gold coins to the UK, and then on to the USA, sold a few million of them, have many more left. The socialists Chávez and Maduro in Venezuela confiscated all the gold they could there, and moved it to Cuba for safekeeping. One firm in California made a deal with them to market the one million (!!) old American gold coins stored there. The socialist government of Ceaușescu in Romania made it a crime to own gold, and all private citizens had to turn all gold in to the government. After the socialists were overthrown in Romania, I was asked down there a couple of times by the government to help assist with an evaluation of what gold coins they had in their vaults. It was so vast, and they were so disorganized, I told them to get back when they wanted the job done efficiently. That was over ten years ago, and I’m still waiting

As for Trump and his golden Oval Office, it may make him feel good, but it doesn’t really send the right message from “the people’s house,” if you follow my drift. It’s just the White House, fer Pete’s sake, not Versailles..
