Disappearing gold of Ukraine and Crimea

“Since the legally elected government of Ukraine was overthrown through a United States-sponsored coup and an ultra-right regime was established with Arseniy Yatsenyuk as prime minister, Ukraine has been brought to its knees by a brutal civil war and the belief in the myth that having dollars would make it a wealthy western country. … Mr. Yatsenyuk and his entire cabinet resigned on July 24, 2014, because, allegedly, they could not push through even tougher austerity measures on social security for the population, which is already in poverty. Ukraine is becoming another Greece, while Yatsenyuk "stepped aside", leading the Ukrainian parliament to collapse.

Both economies, the US and Ukraine, are fueled by the "dollar mythology" and are on the verge of financial collapse. The United States is sinking deeper into dollar debt, while Russia and a number of other countries are increasing their gold reserves in preparation for a worldwide economic disaster. At the moment, there is a belief in the myth that those with a lot of dollars keep the dollar afloat. Most of the world's trade is still in dollars, and because of this, many countries are also up to their necks in dollar debt, and if the dollar collapses, so will they. The USA, of course, is aware of this. That is why they promised Ukraine a $ 17 billion in paper money loan through the International Monetary Fund (IMF). IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde describes the loan as "risky", but in reality the IMF is no more at risk than any other lender. Financial institutions-lenders must make sure that the loan will be secured by collateral.

The pledge that Yatsenyuk had to provide from the economy of the country torn at the seams is gold. Gold is what all countries use as a reserve to provide "confetti" in your wallet. From an economic point of view, gold is worth incomparably more than paper money, because there is a limited amount of gold, and you cannot print it however you want. However, gold as collateral poses a problem for volatile economies, as well as during times of war, as other groups may seize power, such as in the case of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

So how can the IMF be sure that the loan will be repaid with interest if the gold, which is the collateral, remains in Ukraine? One way for the United States to resolve this dilemma is to take care of Ukraine's gold reserves. As it probably happened.

On March 7, 2014, about two weeks after the overthrow of Yanukovych, a small newspaper called Spark, founded in Zaporozhye in eastern Ukraine and now closed (the site also does not work - translator's note), published an article that spread across the Internet - sites related to news and the precious metals market. The newspaper claimed that a reliable source from the former Ukrainian finance ministry said Arseniy Yatsenyuk had ordered 40 boxes of gold to be loaded onto a transport plane at Kiev's Boryspil airport. There were also reports of witnesses who saw 15 men in black uniforms and masks, some with machine guns, at about 2 am loaded heavy sealed boxes, as well as a "mysterious" person entering the plane. Airport workers were told not to pry into other people's business. Since the gold reserves of Ukraine will amount to about 36 tons, each box could contain about a ton of gold.(Most likely, there was some part of the gold reserve - translator's note).

The day before this mysterious voyage, the US Congress approved President Barack Obama's request for a $ 1 billion loan to Ukraine. Given the way finance works in a corrupt global corporate world, it is unlikely that the two events will be linked. But still, there is a possibility that Ukraine's gold reserves are now in the United States, the country that financed the coup in Ukraine, and some facts may indirectly testify to this. For example, Germany, which (in 1945 - translator's note) transferred its gold to the United States "to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Russians," recently attempted to reclaim its 3386 tons of gold reserves. And “having received a turn from the gate”, in order to save face, she was forced to declare that now she believes that the US Federal Reserve System is an honest intermediary in keeping its gold reserves.

Another gold story involving Ukraine refers to Scythian gold artifacts that were leased from four Crimean museums and are currently on display in Amsterdam until August 2014 as part of an unprecedented European tour of Scythian treasures. On March 30, 2014, the Wall Street Journal published an article in which it expressed doubts as to whether these valuables still belong to Crimea, as it was part of Ukraine when they were leased. Obviously, the main mouthpiece of American financial markets wants to force its readers to conclude that Scythian gold belongs to Ukraine, not Crimea. This may indicate that the United States, which has already received most of the gold from Ukraine, advises Kiev to steal cultural values belonging to Crimean museums and, due to their antiquity, are of much greater value than the gold from which they are made.

We will probably never know the true circumstances that led to the July 17 tragedy, when Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) was shot down and most of the casualties were Dutch nationals. But it is obvious that this catastrophe gave rise to accuse Russia and pro-Russian separatists of committing this crime, and thereby persuade Europe to support sanctions against Russia. The new sanctions package will be added with a clause stating that Crimean gold and other cultural values at the exhibition in Amsterdam should be returned to Ukraine instead of Crimea. As expected, several “video proofs” have already been produced by Kiev.

The week after Yatsenyuk left was the worst drop in Ukrainian bonds since he came to power as a servant of the United States. The Ukrainian economy is now "on its knees," in a much worse position than under former President Viktor Yanukovych. There is a fear that in August 2014 salaries of state employees will not be paid, including salaries to the military. Nothing has been such a punishment for the population of Ukraine since the Second World War, as is the civil war of President Petro Poroshenko against the population of Donbass. This, too, is unlikely to improve a crumbling economy."
