The Bank of England had frozen Venezuela’s gold because they did not like the outcome of an election. Can you imagine?
To make matters worse, all of Venezuela’s gold reserves, totaling 31 tons, which are held at the Bank of England, will be transferred to the United States.
The value amounts to US$ 4 billion resulting in the loss of Venezuelan sovereignty over the resources.
It is masked as “agreement between Venezuela and the US” to give Venezuela access to its own gold. The US will give the gold to Venezuela, piece by piece, and the US will determine what for. Typically for buying US goods.
But back to the story: England blocks access to your gold and before Venezuela can ask for it back, they give it to the US.
Anyone with money at the BoE must have his head examined. It is the end of the bank as custodian.

Ilham Aliyev is earning €250,000 from the state budget simply for displaying the name of an administrative district in #Karabakh on a poster consisting of just five letters.
An individual who allegedly extracts this much money from the state budget simply for placing a five-letter sign, “Lachin,” at the entrance to a district raises an obvious question: how many hundreds of billions of dollars could have been stolen from the #Azerbaijani people over these decades?
For 23 years, Ilham Aliyev has exploited the Azerbaijani people’s patriotic sentiments in this way while plundering their wealth.
