đ©đȘđșđž Whereâs the gold? Germanyâs conservatives sound the alarm over reserves in the US
Can the United States be trusted with Germanyâs gold?
[S]ome politicians in Germany are worried that what was for decades seen as one of the worldâs most reliable storehouses might not be so secure after all.
Germany holds the worldâs second-largest gold reserves, and keeps 37 percent of them â some 1,236 metric tons, worth âŹ113 billion â in the vaults of the New York Federal Reserve. Those holdings of precious metal guarantee that, should the need ever arise, the Bundesbank has access to something it can change into U.S. dollars (or any other hard currency).
The very idea that they might not be safe would have been considered ridiculous from 1945 ... until a couple of weeks ago. But the certainties of Germanyâs postwar existence have been turned on their head and â as the recent scrapping of a notorious cap on public borrowing showed â the unthinkable is suddenly very thinkable indeed. All the more so given evidence of U.S. President Donald Trumpâs willingness to push the limits of his powers and assert presidential primacy over the judicial system.
German tabloid Bild, owned by POLITICO parent company Axel Springer, reported on Thursday that outgoing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lawmaker Marco Wanderwitz is one of those concerned.
Already in 2012, Wanderwitz had unsuccessfully requested to inspect the gold holdings as part of an effort to pressure the bank to either take a more active role as a custodian, or to repatriate it to Germany.
âOf course, the question now arises again,â Wanderwitz said in comments reported by Bild.

It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.
âOregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.â
Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined âCAFOâ so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm.

âThe fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and itâs in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use âcow partsâ because cows are large and have a lot to use.â

đđ Climate scientistsâ controversial claim Gulf Stream could be near collapse â predicting a new ice age
A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, supposedly ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists have claimed in a controversial new study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
Per the new findings, the at-risk current in question is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC, a âconveyor belt of the oceanâ that funnels warm water toward the ocean surface â from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.
This current, which includes the Gulf Stream that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to the US East Coast and across the Atlantic to Europe, helps maintain the mild climate of Europe, the UK, and the US East Coast.
The study stated that the source of this marine temperature regulator, the Greenland Ice sheet, is being thawed amid warming temperatures, causing ...
