South African gold on final deathwatch

Gold production from the Witwatersrand, the biggest known gold field in the world, peaked at around 1,000 tonnes in 1970 and has declined ever since. Hartnady says that while initially (1970-1975) the decline was “quite precipitous”, it has been interrupted by only short periods of slight trend reversal (1982-1984 and 1992-1993).
Leon Esterhuizen, a London-based specialist analyst at RBC Capital Markets, has reacted to the research by saying that “South African gold is dying — this is not new news”, but adds “that it may be dying faster than we currently believe is novel”. On the levels of reserves, Hartnady finds that the South African “residual gold reserve” after production through 2007 is only 2 948 tonnes, a little less than three times the 1970 production figure, and much less than 10% of the officially cited reserve.

As the Rothschilds own both majority ownership in the Federal Reserve and most of the world’s physical gold – several trillion dollars worth – then when the dollar tanks won’t going to a gold standard still keep the foxes in charge of the hen house? Would not the arrest and confiscation of the Rothschild’s gold holdings for their crimes against humanity make a little sense?
The Rothschilds have been behind most of the wars of the last two centuries, the several presidential assassinations (for attempts to move away from a private central bank), the Soviet and Chinese Communist governments’ killing of tens of millions, the NWO and most the other bad stuff for a very long time. If we leave them in charge then we might as well just accept that we are slaves and submit to their will – even if it includes our extermination.
I’m pretty sure anyone thinking about this would agree that taking them out is a much better idea. Why has not someone well educated in the economics of gold and fiat not written on this subject? It makes me believe all the gold standard proponents are just Rothschild/NWO shills – is that the case? This seems so basic and simple that it defies logic that someone before this post has not addressed this question.
Alex, please ask all your “buy gold” guests these questions and give us your take as well. Also, please ask Ron Paul why he sites the book “The Creature from Jekyll Island,” when it is a word for word rip-off of Eustace Mullins’, “Secretes of the Federal Reserve,” first published in 1953. Would it be because the plagiarist, E. Edward Griffin, promotes the gold standard while Mullins has grave reservations about the gold standard? If we do not hear from you on these critical issues then what are we to think?
The sourcing on all the above assertions is quite easy – just search the net and one can easily find solid sources in abundance. Mullins’ book is free to download in a pdf format – compare it to Griffin’s rip-off.
Alex, despite your several recent on-air tirades on this point, isn’t waking folks up only the beginning? It seems so simple – we must have a plan to replace the existing monetary system (period). Without one you can bet the same nefarious people will find a way to co-opt any progressive libertarian movement and stay in charge. It is my belief that such a co-opting is a part of the elitists’ true Endgame. I believe the Rothschilds reportedly stopped trading gold five years ago to give an appearance that they are not involved in the great gold heists.
Our movement needs its own goals. We must have a clear vision of a new monetary system to work for the betterment of all our countrymen and not principally for the same banksters who are presently in control. Our leaders should not fear speaking to these important issues in a clear voice. While I own gold I personally believe my country’s interest is greater than my own. Alex, if your audience is taught to own physical gold but is not fully informed how reinstating the gold standard could leave the banksters still in charge, then your audience will likely end up being the unwitting supporters of the banksters’ continued control of our country after the dollar tanks.

Oh my god! only 100 tons of gold a year? how will they survive? Lets do some math.
one ounce of gold is worth, lets just round down to 1000 dollars per ounce, to keep it simple.
Now, 16 ounces per pound- 2000 pounds per ton equals- 32000 ounces per ton times 100 tons equals 3,200,000 ounces times 1000 equals 3,200,000,000. poor babies only 3.2 billion per year at 1K / oz, not bad work if you can get it.~smirk~

Now would be a good timing to explore the gold resources forgotten in the Congo.
Of course while leaving a good share of the profits for the locals, chasing away corrupt officials, foreign mercs and such while also protecting the environment.
But if the trends continue the same from the present, we’ll see some more resource conflicts lighting up in the near future.

THINK what was gold used for INFORMATION Transfer . Gold has never been anything but a currency,it was good for a hundred years ago,people even used sea shells for money. The trouble with gold it heavy an can be lost are stole. So banks became a place to keep it safe and a way to transfer wealth from one person to another by using a PAPER note[ the note is information] This system work for transferring information about others peoples worth. The information is the gold of the future if your making a deal far away you want to no that person worth I dont care what its base on I want to no there credibility.Gold is just stone age currency. We are going though the information revolution right now. The heads are being chop off an the kingdoms[banks insurance companies] or falling.Its one big circle, a hand shake your word what is it worth you cant hide now. One more thing all the money being print now is bread for the poor maybe they wont chop are heads OFF.

Oyu Tolgoi in South Gobi, Mongolia has 1,000 tons of gold to be mined in coming years by Ivanhoe.

I don’t understand , if Gold goes up in price why do these people want worthless FRNs for gold?
If you hold gold against the Dollar what happen if the $ fails? does Gold go up? or what?
steve Reply:
November 16th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
well yeah. Are you that clueless? Thats why Gold is going up, the dollar is dying, hence it takes more dollars to buy the same amount of gold, comprende? Gold is not really gaining in value, it is simply holding value. An ounce of gold has always bought the same amount of goods because it is a finite commodity relatively speaking, so in times of inflation or dollar falling, it appears gold rises, when in reality it is merely maintaining its value measured against other real goods and services.

Over many years we have all been lied to by our Governments… But not just our Governments but many religous leaders. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false prophets. If you are a truth seeker please visit the following web site and take the time to read some of the articles… You will be shocked.
A new audio will be added to the site soon for you to listen to which will save you reading many of the articles.

Gold will top 2,000 by march. Silver is a smaller, more volatile market. Look for a g-s ratio of 30-40 which will double or triple the price of silver by summer. Silver will go to 60 by june.

F_CK MY GOVERNMENT STOLE MY MONEY!!!! HOW THE HELL CAN I INVEST IN GOLD? MAYBE GOLD PLATED.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I’ve posted this story before, but when the money collapsed after WWII in Europe, my family was able to trade using gold. Mainly jewelry, not coins. Buy necklaces so you can cut off an 1/8 an inch or whatever- if you have bars or coins you will overpay for everything. People also traded silver, pearls, and gems.
Alcohol had great value too. I thought folks would just quit drinking, but they drank even more during that dark time. Figure out how to make pruno or whatever and you can trade alcohol for food.

==> Bernanke and Kohn didn’t address complaints from officials in Asia that low U.S. interest rates are fueling surging prices of commodities as well as financial assets in emerging markets.
What?? The employers lay you off because too high commodities prices. They choose to layoff rather than cutting oil cost because it’s uncontrollable factor.
This is NOT fair to employees, they choose to keep the bank not to fail, but we are losing our jobs.
