Texas Gold Bill Becomes Law, State to Remove $1B Worth of Bullion From New York
By Valentin Schmid, Epoch Times | June 7, 2015Last Updated: June 12, 2015 5:57 pm
A bill to build a deposit for gold and silver bullion in Texas could have far reaching consequences for gold and paper money.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill into law on Friday, June 12, that will allow Texas to build a gold and silver bullion depository. In addition, Texas will repatriate $1 billion worth of bullion from the Federal Reserve in New York to the new facility once completed.
This is what the governor had to say:
“Today I signed HB 483 to provide a secure facility for the State of Texas, state agencies and Texas citizens to store gold bullion and other precious metals. With the passage of this bill, the Texas Bullion Depository will become the first state-level facility of its kind in the nation, increasing the security and stability of our gold reserves and keeping taxpayer funds from leaving Texas to pay for fees to store gold in facilities outside our state.”
On the surface the bill looks rather innocent, but its implications are far reaching. HB 483, “relating to the establishment and administration of a state bullion depository” to store gold and silver coins, was introduced by state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione.
Capriglione 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.”
But isn’t New York, where most of the world’s gold is stored, also big and powerful? Why does the state of Texas want to go through the trouble of building its own storage facility? There are precisely two important reasons. One involves distrust in the current storage system. The second threatens the paper money system as a whole.
Distrust
“In a lot of cases with gold you may not have clear title to the metal. You may have a counterparty relationship that makes you a creditor. If the counterparty has a problem unrelated to gold, they can default and then you become an unsecured creditor in bankruptcy,” said Keith Weiner, president of the Gold Standard Institute.
This means you get whatever is left after liquidation, often just a fraction of the initial value of your holdings.
“This exact scenario happened with futures broker MF Global. I knew people who had warehouse receipts to gold bars with a specific serial number. But that gold had an encumbered title and they became unsecured creditors in bankruptcy,” said Weiner.
In Texas, two big public pension funds from the University of Texas (UoT) and the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) own gold worth more than $1 billion.
Being uncomfortable with holding purely financial gold in the form of futures and Exchange-traded Funds, University of Texas actually took delivery of the gold bars in 2011 and warehoused it with HSBC Bank in New York.
"You are on the board, you are a fiduciary, so that’s an easy one, you go get it."
— Kyle Bass, board member and hedge fund manager
At the time pension fund board member and hedge fund manager Kyle Bass explained: “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.
Taking the gold to Texas would then also solve the counterparty risk. “In this case it’s going to be a depository, the gold is going to be there, they are not going to be able to lend it out and it won’t serve as collateral for other transactions of the bank.” said Victor Sperandeo of trading firm EAM Partners. “Because if the bank closes, you are screwed.”
“I think that somebody was looking at that, we better have this under our complete control,” said constitutional lawyer and gold expert Edwin Vieira, of the Texas bill. “They don’t want to have the gold in some bank somewhere and in two to five years it turns out not to be there.”
Gold Money System
So far most of the attention has focused on the part of the depository and the big institutions.
However, the bill also includes a provision to prevent seizure, which is important for private parties who want to avoid another 1933 style confiscation of their bullion by Federal authorities.
Section A2116.023 of the bill states: “A purported confiscation, requisition, seizure, or other attempt to control the ownership … is void ab initio and of no force or effect.” Effectively, the state of Texas will protect any gold stored in the depository from the federal government.
The Constitution of the United States obliges the States to not make anything tender in payment of debts apart from gold and silver coin.
And free from the threat of confiscation, private citizens can use gold and silver as money, completely bypassing the paper money system.
“People can legally do that with gold contracts. The difficulty is the implementation. Now Texas has set up a mechanism with the depository. We have accounts in that institution and can easily transfer back and forth certain amounts. So we can run our money system a gold or silver basis if we were so inclined,” said Vieira.

This would not be possible if the gold is stored in a bank because of the risks of bank holidays and bankruptcies. It would also not be possible if the federal government could confiscate gold.
According to Vieira, this anti-seizure provision rests on Article 1, section 10 of the Constitution of the United States, which obliges the States to not make anything tender in payment of debts apart from gold and silver coin.
“If someone from the Department of Justice comes along you are going to see legal and political fireworks. The state is going to say ‘we need to have a mechanism to make gold and silver money. This is pursuant to the constitutional provision we have. You can’t touch this. Our state power on the constitutional level is more powerful than any statute you may pass,'” said Vieira.
Because one of the litigant parties is a state, the case would go directly to the Supreme Court.
“We are talking about something completely new in terms of the legal playing field. This is no longer a fringe concept,” he adds, but cautions about a possible fight with the federal government: “We will have to see how committed the governor and the attorney general are.”

Writing's On The Wall: Texas Pulls $1 Billion In Gold From NY Fed, Makes It "Non-Confiscatable"
by Tyler Durden on 06/13/2015 17:00 -0400
The lack of faith in central bank trustworthiness is spreading. First Germany, then Holland, and Austria, and now - as we noted was possible previously - Texas has enacted a Bill to repatriate $1 billion of gold from The NY Fed's vaults to a newly established state gold bullion 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," and the Bill includes a section to prevent forced seizure from the Federal Government.
From 2011:
"The University of Texas Investment Management Co., the second-largest U.S. academic endowment, took delivery of almost $1 billion in gold bullion and is storing the bars in a New York vault, according to the fund’s board."
The decision to turn the fund’s investment into gold bars was influenced by Kyle Bass, a Dallas hedge fund manager and member of the endowment’s board, Zimmerman said at its annual meeting on April 14. Bass made $500 million on the U.S. subprime-mortgage collapse.
“Central banks are printing more money than they ever have, so what’s the value of money in terms of purchases of goods and services,” Bass said yesterday in a telephone interview. “I look at gold as just another currency that they can’t print any more of.”
And now, after we noted the possibility previously, as The Epoch Times reports, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill into law on Friday, June 12, that will allow Texas to build a gold and silver bullion depository. In addition, Texas will repatriate $1 billion worth of bullion from the Federal Reserve in New York to the new facility once completed.
On the surface the bill looks rather innocent, but its implications are far reaching. HB 483, “relating to the establishment and administration of a state bullion depository” to store gold and silver coins, was introduced by state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione.

Official Statement from Governor Abbott:
Governor Greg Abbott today signed House Bill 483 (Capriglione, R-Southlake; Kolkhorst, R-Brenham) to establish a state gold bullion depository administered by the Office of the Comptroller. The law will repatriate $1 billion of gold bullion from the Federal Reserve in New York to Texas. The bullion depository will serve as the custodian, guardian and administrator of bullion that may be transferred to or otherwise acquired by the State of Texas. Governor Abbott issued the following statement:
“Today I signed HB 483 to provide a secure facility for the State of Texas, state agencies and Texas citizens to store gold bullion and other precious metals. With the passage of this bill, the Texas Bullion Depository will become the first state-level facility of its kind in the nation, increasing the security and stability of our gold reserves and keeping taxpayer funds from leaving Texas to pay for fees to store gold in facilities outside our state."

Is this the first step down a road to secession? Notably, they'll need that gold to establish their own country once they win the potentially imminent war with the US military which starts on Monday (Jade Helm).
* * *
This implicit subordination of The Fed's gold sends a more ominous signal of rising fears of confiscation and leaves us wondering just how long before every state (and or country) decides to follow Texas' lead?

Yep... Right now, they've only got a "bird in the bush." They need to have a "bird in the hand."
But the NY Fed just might decide to play the "Germany" trick on them and only dribble out a few bars at a time to them.
Until they have it all in hand, this is just bluster.

I don’t understand how so many financial advisors can say 0% is the correct allocation to precious metals. I’ve read over and over how you should not own any gold. Here’s a rebuttal to anyone who tries to say that 0% is the correct allocation to gold and silver.

Taking delivery and storing are not the same thing. If you don't store it yourself you don't own it either. That doesn't change where you store it. They don't own the Texas storage facility either.
You build your own vault at your university facility then to store your gold. You can also store more things than gold then.

The most blatant disregard for the US constitution would be the requirement that US states pay their debts in gold and silver only. When is the last time any US state paid any debt in gold or silver? Perhaps this bill will be the first major piece of state legislation that moves US states back to one of their agreed duties.

The US will not EMP itself or anything geographically close enough to knock out their own grid except for one reason and Texas secession is not that reason.

Tropical System May Brew in Gulf of Mexico Early This Week

The tropics will begin to show signs of life in the Gulf of Mexico early this week, putting lives and property in danger across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
A disturbance moving from the Yucatan Peninsula over the Gulf of Mexico will have a window of opportunity to organize itself late in the weekend and into the first part of the new week, potentially becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm.
Fortunately, this disturbance is expected to remain relatively weak and should be a far cry from a powerful, destructive hurricane.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Rob Richards, "It's rather unlikely that an organized system arises from this, but it is possible."
If a tropical storm were to develop, it would take the name of Bill.
This does not mean that people across the region should let their guard down as it can still bring a wide range of impacts.
"Whether or not the low becomes a tropical system, there will be a lot of moisture on the way for the United States," said Richards.
Flooding is likely to be the most widespread danger with this system with the potential for significant flooding to occur where the heaviest rain falls.
Several inches of rain are likely to fall over a wide swath of the southern Plains and Gulf Coast through Tuesday, with the heaviest rain focusing on eastern Texas, western Louisiana and Arkansas.
This can create major flooding issues across the region, especially following all of the rain and flooding that occurred over the southern Plains during the month of May.
At this time, the likelihood that an organized tropical system will develop across the Atlantic behind this low in the Gulf remains low.
Strong wind shear, winds higher in the atmosphere that tear storms apart, and dry air coming off the Sahara Desert of Africa will continue to provide unfavorable strengthening conditions for tropical waves pushing from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean Sea.
The wind shear over the Gulf of Mexico remains lighter; in combination with the warm gulf waters, the more favorable conditions are allowing for this low to develop.

No because they usually have very sharp fingernails and are prone to scraping bits of gold off the bars and hiding it under their nails........................

Most people that move or come to Texas are wetbacks because they have to cross the Rio Grand (South and west), Red ( North ) or Sabine (East ) rivers to get into the state !
Nice for the folks to come and visit and spend their money and then it is even better when they go home or were ever the hell they came from as long as it is not here !
Good wetback = Visits and spends money, then leaves !
Bad wetback = Any that stays !

Native born is the only way !
