re: R Khanna wants nationwide fraud investigation after wealth tax firestorm

quote:He's a smooth talking leftist who adroitly hides behind a moderate facade, which is why his wealth tax "epiphany" (actually exposing socialist underpinnings) is catching so much airtime. Actual admission of his radical leftist goals is very un-Ro-like. He's considering a run at the CA statehouse in 2028, and the wealth tax crap is a stab at that beast.
Why is this R Khanna getting so much exposure on this board. What significance do they have that I see so many threads about this person?
quote:Actually, no.
Apparently his views hold some amount of water with you. You are commenting on his statement.
If you read my comment, it has nothing to do with his statement.
It has to do with his elevated sense of self importance. To bring that point fully home, I never considered opening the OP link, precisely because Clooney's views hold no water with me at all.

You’re the one who stated we had 8k tons of gold.
I simply asked you to prove it.
I posted numbers based on internationally accepted claims. You've questioned those claims ... at least unilaterally. Any supposed 'proof' would necessarily fall into your camp, not mine.

Horrible story regardless of politics.
quote:The U.S. effectively abandoned the domestic gold standard by removing gold coins and certificates from circulation under FDR. He subsequently devalued the dollar, raising the official USD-gold price from $20.67 to $35 per ounce in 1934. That transitioned the US from a gold specie to a gold bullion system where the dollar was not directly convertible to gold for citizens.
What was our country like back before the Gold standard was ended in August 1971?
The true pre-FDR gold standard economy was VERY different. Concerns then were price and wage deflation, not inflation.

quote:Of course that's true of any of the reported numbers.
…allegedly
Regardless, those are the accepted global numbers.
As such, the BRICs gold play is an essential tie to the USD, at the same time the effort is supposedly undercutting the USD as a reserve. That dog don't hunt.
Biden did 50x more damage to the USD reserve precept than this BRICs effort does by weaponizing our USD fiat against Russia. That was an imbecilic shot across the bow of every country on the planet not named the USA.

He provides a thorough update on the BRICs’ attempts to unseat the USD as the world’s Reserve Currency.
In this context, “gold-anchored” does not mean a classic gold standard.
It basically means a gold float. As such, gold is nothing but a USD tie-in. Meaning that unless the BRICs control a helluva lot of global gold reserves, this is a confirmation of the USD as the world reserve. Not an unseating.
Here's a perspective:
Country Gold Reserves (tons)
Russia ~2,330–2,336 t
China ~2,298–2,304 t
India ~880–880 t
Brazil ~145 t
South Africa ~125 t
Egypt ~127 t
UAE ~74–75 t
Indonesia ~78 t
so ....
BRICs = ~6000 t combined
meanwhile ....
United States = ~8,133.5 t alone
Germany, France, Italy = another ~8500 t
