11p ET Monday, November 4, 2024

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Gold researcher Ronan Manly today tells the strange story of gold reserves from the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and Belgium that purportedly long have been vaulted at the Bank of Canada in Ottawa.

Quite apart from anything discussed at their recent conference in Kazan, Russia, the BRICs nations, Maguire says, already have adequate mechanisms for trading without the U.S. dollar and for sanctions-proofing themselves, and those mechanisms involve gold.
