uhm -- did you bother to read the article? if not, then I have no clue how you can say something you have not read is "nonsense". ...
uhm -- did you bother to read my comment? I didn't say the article is nonsense. I posted the article because it
supports my position.
EDIT: your above quote is confusing because you linked the zerohedge article I posted. Now I realize you probably meant the article you linked farther up, the one that looks like an informational landing page to a get-rich-quick scheme:
http://ftmdaily.com/preparing-for-the-collapse-of-the-petrodollar-system/ No I didn't read that, but I don't need to in order to know the statement "we got tired of handling the world's gold" is nonsense.
"By the end of the war, nearly 80 percent of the worlds gold was sitting in U.S. vaults and the U.S. Dollar had officially become the worlds undisputed reserve currency."
"As nations lined up to convert their dollar holdings for Washington's gold, the United States realized that the game was over. Clearly, America had never intended to be the globe's gold warehouse. Instead, the convertibility of the dollar into gold was meant to generate a global trust in U.S. paper money."
