Europe Was First, Now a US State Wants Control Over Its Gold

Gold money clips in the shape of U.S. dollar symbols are displayed for sale on Feb. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles, Calif. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott can now ratify a bill to build the first large-scale state bullion depository.
After the latest European country (Austria) announced it would ship some of its gold back from the Bank of England to Vienna, New York likely thought it was safe as a major gold storage center.
Distrust in the countries and companies that currently store gold have led Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, and Venezuela to move some of their gold stored in New York, London, and Paris back home.
China never bothered to store its gold abroad and has also moved to take control of pricing.
Now the same distrust is hitting New York from within:
The Texas Legislature on Monday ratified and sent a bill to Gov. Greg Abbott to enable the state to build a bullion depository in Texas and repatriate $1 billion worth of gold the University of Texas Investment Management Co. is currently storing with HSBC Bank in New York.
"For a lot of people, this is exactly where they would want to go with their gold."
Now the same distrust is hitting New York from within:

"For a lot of people, this is exactly where they would want to go with their gold."
he bill was introduced by state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, who told the Star-Telegram: “We are not talking Fort Knox. But when I first announced this, I got so many emails and phone calls from people literally all over the world who said they want to store their gold … in a Texas depository. People have this image of Texas as big and powerful … so for a lot of people, this is exactly where they would want to go with their gold.”
He did not get into detail why Texas doesn’t trust New York anymore, but another fellow Texan did.
Kyle Bass, a hedge-fund manager famous for shorting subprime mortgages, urged UTIM as part of his responsibility as a board member of the endowment to take delivery of its paper “gold” future contracts in 2011, which it did. The next step is taking it home, but why?
“As a fiduciary, which I am in that position to the extent you own gold and you are going for a long time, and it’s not a trade … We looked at the COMEX at the time and they had about $80 billion of open interest between futures and futures options. And in the warehouse they had $2.7 billion of deliverables. We are going to own it a long time. You are on the board, you are a fiduciary, so that’s an easy one, you go get it.”
Bass is implying that there is much more financial gold out there than physical, and that it is prudent to actually hold the physical.
If you want to be really, really sure you actually own gold, follow Texas and store it on your own backyard.
Since then, speculation intensified that even banks storing gold on behalf of clients (like HSBC) have leased it out, so it can remain on the books but is not actually present physically.
So, if you want to be really, really sure you actually own gold, follow Texas and store it in your own backyard.

the second you do this, obama will toss Texas out of the union and the shooting that's already gone down will hit ten fold so you better kill the troops who try to kill you, and leave not one u.n. soldier alive if you know what's good....
and you better send an order of immediate arrest to the provost marshal to get rid of joe biden, get him out of power and into handcuffs & kill anyone else who crosses the territory.
Good plan....Also kill the commander who is operating the HAARP machines, I have the utmost faith that Texas will never be taken over again but will face natural disasters.
10:58 PM the best thing that could happen for Texas is to be 'tossed out". Texas does NOT NEED the criminal corporation, nor does any other 'state'. Texas is its own sovereign nation, a Republic that has been held hostage by a 'treaty' that was not voted on by the Texas nationals back in Sam Houston's day. Texas can not only support itself without the 'benefits' of the criminal corporation in DC, but it can support many other states - which are, in fact, each their own sovereign Republic as is Texas. The 'power' and 'jurisdiction' of the criminal USA corporation in Washington DC and their' federal laws' is only enforceable in the District of Columbia and the Territories - PERIOD. This is akin to Coca Cola and its rules and procedures which only apply to their employees within their separate bottling location - same thing. It is time the people of our nation learn the truth and make the decision to be free of the traitorous tyranny that has been posing as our 'government' and our 'public servants' - neither of which is true, and re-establishing our TRUE government, the Republic. If we allow everything to continue as it has been, then we can only expect the same tyrannical results - or WORSE.
I think people are just waking up to this now....Baby steps first, for they need to know their only actual government is their sovereign state and republic of states. It has not been nor ever can be Washington...
