But unlike the Americans, who have gone decades without tracking their gold supplies, the Canadians have known that they were getting it from a country where cocaine trafficking, paramilitary violence and the gold trade are intertwined.
Yet they continued to call it North American gold.
They did so, officials explained, because before the Colombian gold arrives in Canada, a Texas intermediary mixes it with American gold. In the Mint’s eyes, the resulting mix is entirely North American.
This fiction, and the fact that perpetuating it is completely legal, is an example of how even the world’s most credible dealers allow tainted gold into the mainstream market.
Jfc. When did the idea of lying become the government-approved way of things??
Nevermind … I know.
Hey, Colombia is in North America!
Looks good to me!
What projection is this? Is it like a modified Mercator or am I just so not used to both Mercator and upside down this looks insane?
I mean, Alaska is bigger than 50% of the contiguous US.
No idea, I just searched for “upside down map of north and south america”. It does look particularly wacky though.
It’s really in South America tho.
I mean, if you want to go with facts, and history, and maps, and stuff, sure… But from a vibe-geography standpoint, it’s in North America.
Also Panama used to be part of Colombia and Panama is in North America so I think we can grandfather Colombia in as long as they’re also willing to dig a trench across their country, or something.
The NYTs overt attack on Canada is really just saying we can’t and shouldn’t trust American suppliers.
ಠ_ಠ
That’s the vibe I got outta that to.
The NY times is basically just a billionaire goblins in a suit who capitulate all power to Israel first, and their corporate handlers second.

We must sacrifice our children to the speaking stones to maintain our civilization. …well not our children, the children of those dirty poor people in the country of africa or whatever.
Let alone the phone itself
Strong “and yet you live in society, curious” vibes here.
Step one to doing better is trying to do better.
Is it perfect, no. But now that we have this system we can fix this loophole.
Correct, take it from an American who doesn’t work for a billionaire owned newspaper: y’all are miles and leagues ahead of us on accountability lol.
We have many gold mines. Where does that gold go?
Where does that gold go?
I’ve heard that it’s in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name.
