It all appears to hang on the GOLD STANDARD doesn't it?

According to the CIA - the CHINESE will push for this one -and the ROYALS/BANK OF ENGLAND obviously don't want that - they do not appear to have any, at the present time and therefore the banks that they own - would crumble immediately if a GOLD STANDARD were to be introduced - and every country refused to let them buy any - which would make their vast wealth, effectively worthless in relation to banking.
