Australian Gold Repatriation Petition - Draft

Swiss To Vote On Gold Repatriation
The Swiss National Bank (SNB), which supposedly guarantees price stability in Switzerland, currently holds about 1,040 tons of gold reserves after gradually selling off at least 1,550 tons and now members of the Swiss People's Party, the far-right Swiss Democrats and the Lega dei Ticinesi movement, is confident a nationwide vote will be called (after they gathered 106,000 signatures) on stopping the sale of gold reserves held by the SNB. It also wants gold bars stored in the US to be returned. As Swiss Info reports, the People's Party leader Luzi Stamm comments, "Gold reserves guarantee the stability of the Swiss franc. They ensure that that private savings, salaries, pension keep their value," warning that gold must not be the object of speculation for the SNB or for politicians and demanding the SNB keep a minimum of 20 per cent of its assets in gold, twice the current level. In addition, they want to force the government to disclose where the gold reserves are stored, since "it is only in safe hands if it is kept in Switzerland."

Mike Maloney presented this slide last night in Melbourne.

It was a shame that he couldn't add Australia to the list of Gold aware countries that were preparing for the collapse of the USD.

Dunno if anyone gets the Strategy Sessions videos from Port Phillip Publishing subscriptions, but we gave this a plug last week during an interview with Dr Alex Cowie.
 
494 signatories! Only 6 short of 500.

If ever in our history we needed to be accumulating gold reserves against global financial instability it's now! I reckon there are more than 500 people who understand this.
 
496.... Still an aweful long way to go to 3.5K

Wonder if printing off some flyers to leave in the mailboxes in your area would help at all?
Just throwing this out there!

I would be happy to spend some time designing a flier and dropping them around my local area if there was a dozen of us that were prepared to put in a few hours to drop their areas, but I feel that 1 person or a couple doing this would be pretty fruitless...

Yep agreed that it would be pretty pointless if only a couple of people were to do it. Willing to spread it around my area. Having a piece of paper in the mail might not be very helpful? But maybe a bit harder to discard than an electronic message (web page, email etc). I can't design a flyer myself (no skills) but it would be good if we could find a way to keep the message brief and simple yet spike the interest of the average joe.

Worth a try maybe?
 
The number of signatories has reached 503 during the week!

And in case you missed the video post from valuecreator on the US state of Texas planning for the repatriation of its gold from the Federal Reserve of New York, here it is again.

I sent an email to TripleJ's "Hack" current affairs program the other week. I complimented them on their usual programming but pointed out that they rarely tackle the big issues (generally concentrating on social issues) that will well and truly effect young people's future financial security and earning capacity. I suggested they investigate gold repatriation, Austrian economics, fiat currencies etc, and dropped some names ie SilverStackers, Gino, Bullion Baron, bordsilver etc.

Unfortunately, just like the ones I sent to Barnaby Joyce and Bob Katter, my email must be tagged "Nutjob".
 
It the subject could be raised on Hack, that would be excellent I reckon.
But, yeah, not an easy task to go about.
 
Did any body notice we are now of 500 signatures. 503 actually. Great stuff.
 
507 signatories!

Gold is not in a bubble!

But what are the ramifications of inaction?

I urge you all to sign and promote the petition.
 
Swiss To Vote On Gold Repatriation - "Gold Is The Only Valuable Asset On The SNB's Balance Sheet"

...This last week, as the FT reports, they reached the required 100,000 signature mark and on Thursday the federal chancellery confirmed Switzerland is to hold a referendum that would ban the central bank from selling its gold reserves, force it to keep at least 20% of its assets in the metal, and repatriate gold reserves held abroad and keep them at home. Following Cyprus' forced sales and discussions of the net wealth in other European peripheral nations, proponents of the Swiss measure flatly reject the idea of sales, arguing that disposals of gold reserves at low prices between 2001 and 2006, as well as more recently, have cost Switzerland billions of Swiss francs. The "Save Our Swiss Franc" initiative proclaims, "today gold is almost the only really valuable asset left on the SNB's balance sheet." The SNB, however, is concerned at, "the monetary policy implications of the demands in the initiative." ...

510 signatures? Yet all these surveys say that one of the greatest concerns in the minds of our youth is the economy :rolleyes:
