    Bizarre gold news from the Middle East. The article doesn’t say very much. What’s up with these “gold stashes”? Now the gold may come from various trafficking operations: but 50 TONS??? Could it be some Iraqi state reserves? If US-sponsored ISIS “plundered” or received the alleged gold, is this end-of-contract payback? And is the Army operating some sort of reserve bank? I pass the floor to @joseph

    • Do we yet know what happened to Libya’s stolen gold? Maybe it’s been deposited in the US fortified embassy in Baghdad . . . re article photo, is gold disguised as boxes of MREs?

      • Kahlypso sent me a whole list of articles on what happened. Very complex, but it does seem an excessive-zealous attempt to pin Clintons into the story more than necessary . I’m still assessing the data, not sure.. but they claim it’s in Belgium (EU) hands, diverting interest into their own banks instead of proper Libyan official Fund account created in 2000s.

        • Of course this is an area where we will probably never get 100% documented proof; there are a lot of parties “in the know” who for various reasons – whether complicity, blackmail or to havr “bargaining chips” – do not disclose much of anything.
