Absolutely. If countries want their gold, and the US refuses to give it to them, what does that mean? Has the US stolen it? Has someone else stolen it? If this is true, it suggests that all those countries were wrong to trust the US, as the US is untrustworthy one way or another.

Of course those countries having lost their gold is not good for them either, so it seems everybody has agreed to continue the lie.

This stuff sounds bad enough that it might turn me into a conspiracy theorist. But how is any of this even remotely acceptable?
