“The eyes of Texas are upon you” goes the song, but right now those
eyes seem to be squarely focused on the financial crisis in Cyprus.
“We
don’t want just the certificates. We want our gold. And if you’re the
state of Texas, you should be able to get your gold,” said Capriglione.
However, he concedes
transporting $1 billion worth of gold bars would be impractical, so he
suggests selling the gold and repurchasing it in Texas.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is supporting a bill that
would
return the state’s $1 billion in gold reserves currently stored by the
Federal Reserve at a vault in New York to the state.
Capriglione said his bill is, “not about putting Texas on its own gold
standard, [but instead will] give the state a reputation as being more
financially secure in the event of a national or international
financial crisis.”
“If we own it,” Perry told Glenn Beck last week, “I will suggest to you
that that’s not someone else’s determination whether we can take
possession of it back or not.”

First
off, I had no idea that states, at least Texas, have their own gold
bullion stash. Second is the question of whether the actual
physical
gold still there? Former Rep. Ron Paul (R TX) tried to get Fort
Knox audited, and failed. Think about that. A senior
U.S. congressman could not get past the Feds to see if our stuff is
still there!
Next; the Obamas have Texas and Rick Perry on their short list of
people to destroy, now more than ever since Texas reuses "to cave to Obamacare’s
call for states to accept Medicaid expansions. "
Finally, as aside, the killing
of two prosecutors,
in two months, including a district attorney and his wife gunned
down in their home bears watching. The media have focused on
"white
supremacists," which is their go-to culprit in any shooting. .If
the
prosecutors were from Austin, nobody would care, but this whole thing
feels
hinky to me. I'm just saying.
