Here is another opinion on this...
Franklin Templeton Money Manager: We Will See a Gold Backed Asian Currency
"Boom Bust" emails:
I just read your post about Philippa Malmgren saying the Chinese may back their currency with gold. Funny thing, but two days ago I had the opportunity to briefly talk to Dr. Mark Mobius from Franklin Templeton Investments (I assume you know who he is - a well traveled portfolio manager with insights into emerging and frontier markets.) During a presentation he mentioned that people in Asia had been guying gold like crazy after the gold price fell in April. He said dealers in India were sold out. One of his colleagues from Turkey said people in Turkey had been buying massive amounts of gold coins as well, at big premiums to the spot price (i.e. suggesting a decoupling of the price of physical gold from the spot price on Comex.)
The most interesting part, and linked to your post and Malmgren's statement about the Chinese backing their currency with gold, was when I asked Mr. Mobius after the presentation: "Do you believe we will see an Asian nation back their currency with gold?" His answer: "Yes, of course." When as a follow up question I asked "Do you think we'll see a return to the gold standard?", his answer was "Yes, we should."
Mobius knows much about economies in Asia. Seems like he and Malmgren are of the same opinion on this issue.
You can read (by using the built in Google translate function on my blog) about this at this blogpost I wrote: http://theboombust.blogspot.no/2013/06/mark-mobius-om-gullstandarden.html

Here is an interesting thought on Energy Backed Money...
http://www.energybackedmoney.com/
Energy Backed Money
The purpose of this short online book is to present a compelling case in favor of energy backed money. In particular, this book outlines a plan for the US Dollar to become a representative currency backed by electricity in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh). The background chapters are intended to give the book a self contained and logical flow.

So you want a gold backed currency?
http://cafr1.com/SoYouWant.html
SO YOU WANT A GOLD BACKED CURRENCY - THE 50-YEAR PLAN IS COMING TO A CLOSE..
...People seem to forget that the dollar’s barter exchange value has been circulated for decades and hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of products and commodities have changed hands through the use of dollars every decade. The fact that the dollar is “just” an exchange barter tool since 1963 (the date when they pulled the coinage in circulation taking the silver and gold out of the public's hands) has not changed.
Does anyone think the massive expansion of the economy would have taken place using gold as the barter tool over the same time period?
Individual’s assets in 1955 were rather sparse and bare compared to the individual’s assets today. Inflation has taken root over the last 20 years due to the spiral of run-away growth and the effect of greed and unethical oppertunity applied from and due to the boom periods where cash flowed as king and as time went by he who could cheat the other guy first walked with the kingdom of the booty. (within government expansion the before mentioned was done quite well)
The ethical and honest were pushed to the shadows to be ignored and the greedy opportunists walked with the booty and became the power base who now called the shots.
Per gold, what we are seeing at this time is the culmination of the “50 year plan” . People in general are not too bright. The public owns percentage wise very little gold. In 1963 / 64 when we went off the gold and silver standard, the 50 year plan began. The commercial banks; large international families; and a few countries started the focus and organized effort to buy all of the gold each and every year. Hundreds of tones per month as they manipulated to keep the price low.
Come 1999 they were very successful in their focus and plan. I would estimate their stockpile of gold increased by over 20,000 tons AND they did so right up until 2000 getting the gold at an average price of $134 to $175 per oz.
When looking at gold the parties mentioned above would own over 80% of the physical gold and the general population less than10%. Independent commercial interests the rest.
Well, it does not matter if you own all the gold in the world, if you can not unload it in barter for other commodities or property the value is nil.
So, here we go with 2001 and the stage is set and the play begins. Circumstances are forced to create fear; the sky is falling; economic doom and gloom come 2008; the propaganda begins to condition many with Parrot sound-bite conditioning to belittle the dollar and “gold is what is needed as the barter tool with ever increasing fever”.
Again, the general public is not too bright. Those commercial banks; large international families; and a few countries with gold hovering in the $1600 to $1800 per oz pricing are standing on a potential profit of over 1000%. They can not sell tens of thousands of tons of gold, the gold they own, that 90% of what is held by them on the open market or gold would plummet down to $10 per oz over-night, possibly to $5 per oz.
The volume of actual “physical” gold sales taking place at these levels over the last year is very light compared to what has been stockpiled by the cartel.
What you will see take place over the next two years is the promotion by the cartel to make the public believe “it is essential to have a gold backed currency”. The parrots will be saturated with sound-bites to Parrot away screaming and demanding a gold backed currency. **International Circumstances will be created to bring the fear level to the brink.**
Then in 2014 or possibly 2013, the Powers-That-be, will say: We have heard your cries and we must in good consciousness yield to your demands, so here is your gold backed currency… Bait; Hooked; landed; and fried.
** Now the cartel will have the liquidity ** to unload what they have stockpiled for 50-years as the country obtains the physical gold to back the currency… 1000%+ profit locked in and the public now becomes the bag-holder.
After the conversion is complete and the horde unloaded, then the collapse in gold prices begins (2015-16), with the true and real collapse of the dollar now taking place backed by the quickly diminishing value of gold.
The 50-year plan is complete. The wealth transfer accomplished for the cartel, and the public will be screaming and looking at who to point the finger of blame upon.
The only one to blame in reality will be themselves for so easily being masterfully entertained by Bait; Hooked; landed; and fried.
Break the conditioning! Look at “who” owns all of the gold. That old adage: “He who owns all of the gold makes the rules” applies and believe me, you DO NOT WANT them making the rules.
But then suicide is on the rise now a day…

That, or perhaps Joseph P. Farrell is right, and the amount of gold that these bastards have accumulated in the last century is several times the amount publicly admitted to being "above ground" (already mined.)
In World War II, the Japanese took much gold from China, then following the war, that gold ended up in the hands of said bastards, some via way of the Philippines. Over in Europe, the Germans scraped up much gold as well, which I presume also ended up in the hands of the most powerful.
What gold has not already been hidden away is currently moving from West to East, into the hands of the BRICS nations. I figure that gold in the hands of a sovereign power, which is controlled by a central bank, which in turn is controlled by said bastards, is gold that is one hop away from being directly in the hands of the most powerful.
So ... a key question ... why ... cui bono?
Is the gold really valuable, perhaps to some off world civilization that is "farming" earth for its gold, or is gold just another convenient means to control us unruly humans, or both?

Well, there's "real gold" (aka free gold) monetary systems, where the actual wealth in the form of gold is in the hands of the ordinary person, and there's "fake gold" monetary systems, where the gold is in a giant vault, and a centrally administered currency, supposedly backed by that gold, is in the hands of the ordinary person.
I'll readily agree that the bastards have no plans to implement a free gold system.

Interesting you should say that about 3 months back i was watching a video about what they do at certain nuclear facilities, and it was to do with a ufo being interested in these sites, they then went onto explain what they did at one of these facilities and i can't for the life of me remember where it was. All i can remember is it is in the USA where they have one of the calydascopes and they were also experimenting on changing metals into gold can not remember what one though it might have been mercury or lead and they actually did change it into gold it took a couple days to do it and was a very expensive process. The scientist did say the process cost alot more then the amount of gold they could produce so not sure if someone else could be doing it on a larger scale or not but very possible i would say.

Yes, I've seen that too, and it made sense to me.
What's not known (at least not publicly) is whether they can transmute base metals to gold for less cost and in greater quantity than mining it.

Who in their right minds think a gold backed currency, or any other currency is the answer here.
And that still does not explain what happens to the quadrillion in toxic derivatives. Or are we expected to pay that off for the next few centuries?
I really hope people come to the realization that no amount of tweaking will fix this mess. The system itself is broken. No, it is not broken. It was always inevitable. Open-ended growth is unsustainable, not to mention insane.

Everything seems to tie into the NWO agenda, and seems to be ramping up as we speak.
New World Order DHS Insider Warns: “It’s Already Begun. You’re Seeing It Now.”
Doug Hagmann
In December of 2012 we published a report from the Northeast Intelligence Network detailing a possible set of scenarios and timelines. In the report, Doug Hagmann interviewed an anonymous DHS Insider with information that was absolutely mind blowing.
The Insider claimed that in the Spring of 2013 life for the average American would begin to change significantly. He advised that these changes would be revealed after a large collapse in the price of precious metals, which like other financialinstruments, were being manipulated by the powers that be. The claims were dismissed by many as ridiculous, with suggestions that the “anonymous source” must be a fake if he won’t even reveal his name.
Given the blowback anonymous sources in recent years have experienced – Bradley Manning, Juliane Assange, and now Edward Snowden to name a few – is there any question as to why any Insider leaking information would want to remain anonymous?
That aside, consider not who the Insider is, but rather, the validity to the claims made in December and beyond.
The price of precious metals has collapsed over 25% in the last 6 months, and just hours after we ran a follow-up report on April 15, 2013, stock markets began to tumble. To add to the intrigue, over the last several weeks Americans have been made privy to the inner workings of a government hell-bent on monitoring and controlling every last activity and digital interaction of a once free public.
Life for Americans, by all accounts, is changing rapidly.

No one has any margins left at the current spot.
After updating their precious metals' company cost curve, Citi's ominous warning that, "a combination of rising unit costs (15% yoy), sustained high capital budgets and a falling gold price have resulted in a fast contraction in margins - so much that no gold company under our coverage will generate Free Cash Flow at spot gold."

So, considering the other confluences occurring at this time, what is the real story behind destroying the gold price down to where no miners or gold companies can make any money, while the supply of above ground gold, whose estimates are more than likely misrepresented, is hoarded all around the world?
I'm trying to wrap my head around all this. If you consider the possibility that most of the gold has been moved off planet, and the whole gold story is potentially a scam, and there really is not that much gold on the planet anymore, how does the elite use this for their agenda?
If there is more physical above ground gold than any of us could imagine, and most of it is in the hands of the 1%, how does this fit into the elite agenda?

The number one concern of any Chinese government is keeping a billion peasants employed. This simple fact should never be under estimated. If China were to back their currency with gold the value of the Yuan would skyrocket thus putting much of China's export economy out of business. The result would be dramatically higher unemployment and social unrest. A situation that no Chinese government wants.
If China is hoarding gold my guess is that they are doing so for other purposes. Purposes that can only be speculated upon but likely involve an impending and unavoidable confrontation with the west.

To make sure that the Elite keep control of money, the money supply, reserve currency, monetary standards... liquid material wealth, we just need to make sure that they either:
a.) get to tell us which one of the commodities that they own should be the backing for "money"
- or -
b.) get to control creating it
Currently, "b" is true. The article by Walter Burien posted by HORIZONS indicates they have played that hand, and now wish to play both "a" and "b" simultaneously!
Money is a metaphor, whether paper or gold or silver or platinum or copper. (Gold and silver and platinum and even copper also have intrinsic value - they are pretty, shiny metal, good for jewelry and to conduct electricity. The one that has just the right properties for "free energy" devices is probably really the most valuable.)
In the book by Bill Still, No More National Debt, Bill expands on explaining why we do not want to back money with gold. Among the most potent reasons: the US government doesn't have any! Or almost none. (Probably true for most governments.) We know we want to take the power of creating money away from the international banking cartel, to "kill the Fed", and print our own metaphorical paper. Are we so stupid that we would "acquire", by debt, gold from some gold baron just to back our metaphoric paper money?
Let's jump ahead to the awesome future we forged for ourselves: something like The Reset Button has been wildly successful in many countries around the world, including the USA. The countries are now run by "ordinary citizens" rather than minions of international bankers and multinational corporations. But still, the Elite have stockpiled gold and the finest land, the cleanest aquifers - in fact they are so diversified that just about no matter what, they will be just fine. But, they did lose CONTROL! And they are pissed off, but level-headed. They are a patient lot, and a plan that takes decades to ripen is no big deal (again, they have wealth, so they can be quite comfortable as they lie in wait in the grass until they can regain power.)
How will they regain power? Well, they will be constantly picking at the locks imposed by the laws set down in The Reset Button transformation, constantly probing for weaknesses and Achilles heels to regain political control...but, they will still be in full control of the world's money until that issue is dealt with. Will the ordinary citizens be fools and allow the international bankers to retain control of money creation, monetary policy, inflation? Secondarily, will those same Elite be able to use the psychology that a heavy, shiny metal in a vault makes the metaphoric paper more real?
Many of us are familiar with the board game Monopoly (or other board games that use "play money." So, we make a decision we are going to play the game, and agree that the money is real... and we play. We conduct the entire game with paper money, metaphorical paper money, not only "as if" it is real, but that is IS real. So, it is real.
"Goldbugs" (people who believe that metaphorical paper money needs to be "backed" by a precious metal) will pontificate that money is not real unless backed by a commodity. However, virtually every person - including every goldbug - reading these words purchased their land, their home, their car, and their groceries with paper money that has no commodity backing it whatsoever. Federal Reserve notes, with no silver or gold backing. So, we know it CAN be done, and that is how it HAS been done when it suited the boys at the Federal Reserve.
So, now that we (the near-future we that have taken control over our own governance) are in control, will we be smart enough to BOTH say goodbye to allowing private banks to create and control our money AND say "no thanks!" to the notion that we have to acquire, on credit, a huge pile of gold to legitimize our dollars?
I say, "Adios, international banking cartel! Enjoy your bling!"

Well, on Christmas Eve 1913, while most were at home with their families, congress passed the Federal Reserve Act, and Wilson signed it into law before the congress got back from Christmas. That's how they did it, by stealth.
Currency is not about being backed by commodities. That is just a side bar which is a distraction we focus on (as you have stated) . The real issue, is whether the currency which enters commerce has INTEREST attached to it which must be paid to a private cartel.
Lincoln's greenbacks did not carry usury, and neither did the currency which Kennedy was proposing with Executive order 11110. If currency does not carry the burden of interest, as long as the money supply increases relative to GDP, no inflation occurs and wealth and assets increase relative to the currency.
The problem with this, from the cartel's point of view, is all wealth does not flow upstream to them, but stays in the hands of those who produced it. True abundance cannot be allowed!

If gold can be transmuted from other elements then that would mean either the Sumerian tales of the Anunaki are false or they themselves had not figured that out yet. (And what's with the rockets? That's the best a space faring race could muster?)
Since all elements are composed of the same basic components there seems to be no reason why such transmutation could not work, if one knew the principle to apply.

Money is a medium of exchange, right? A way to measure the value of an apple against the value of an orange. It measures, in principle, the scarceness of a comodity or service. Also, money determines the worth of a person's work to society. In this way we can simply take an accounting of a person's net worth and come up with the value of that person's contribution to society. So a doctor is far more important than a drive through window attendant for Tim Horton's (Dunkin' Donuts, if American). In the same fashion the Timmy's employee is far more valuable than a derelict on skid row, who is far more valuable than an unfortunate digging through the garbage in Calcutta. That's what money is for, ultimately - to determine your status in the world. Also, it allows us to sleep well, with our bank accounts flush with cash, while thousands die that same night of starvation.
Advanced races must be far more responsible than that, one would hope. Somewhere along the line we must develop a comprehensive enough conscience to elevate the standard of living of all citizens of planet earth.

Selling of Gold bullion and coins by banks is already banned now Reserve Bank of India banned the selling of gold billions by jwellers for next six months.
http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/07/10/india-gold-coins-sale-ban-idINDEE96907I20130710
Traders mull six-month ban on sales of gold coins, bars
(Reuters) - Jewellers could continue a voluntary ban on sales of gold coins and bars for six months, in support of the government's efforts to curb imports, a trade body said in a statement on Wednesday.
The All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation, which has more than 40,000 members, added that over 65 percent of jewellers had agreed to the ban on sales of bars and coins, which account for about 35 percent of total business.
"The jewellery community is one in supporting the country in times of crisis. We are happy to help with this voluntary action," Haresh Soni, chairman of the federation, said in the statement.
(Timeline: India’s love for gold and government’s efforts to curb it http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2013/06/28/indias-love-for-gold-and-the-governments-efforts-to-curb-it-a-timeline/)
The trade body had appealed to jewellers to stop sales of coins and bars in late June.
India's current account deficit swelled to a record 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and gold is the second-largest item in the iport bill.
The government has hiked import duty to 8 percent and the central bank has tightened availability of supplies in an effort to rein in imports, which hit a record 162 tonnes in May.

Joseph P. Farrell speaks to these same issues, in the last five minutes (starting at 11:26) of his latest News and Views from the Nefarium (July 18, 2013) (http://gizadeathstar.com/2013/07/news-and-views-from-the-nefarium-july-18-2013/).

Joseph speculates that the amount of above ground gold in the world is obfuscated for four reasons:
Central banks lie about their gold holdings, as usual.
Some dark operatives in the US took much gold from Japan and Germany, after World War II.
Whatever gold the elite have has been rehypothicated many times over, further confusing the numbers.
Alchemy - cold fusion, as lattice system nuclear reactions, can form gold from base metals.
