The Secret History of Gold (WIP)
I thought perhaps we could have a thread of news items and reportage which may seem random at first, but which may later form points on a cohesive narrative.
Douglas Reed, the acclaimed war correspondent and author reports
Quote:
I was appalled when a young British officer, parachuted into Yugoslavia, described to me the drops of containers filled with golden sovereigns (which a British subject may not legally possess) to Tito.[30] The same thing happened in Greece. Major W. Stanley Moss, dropped into Greek Macedonia as a British commando-leader and liaison officer, found the Communists usurping control of the guerillas by means of the golden rain that dropped on them and says, “When the Great Day came” (victory in Europe) “the world was amazed at the wealth of gold which the Communists found at their disposal. None of the money came from Russia; it was presented to the Communists by the Allies. For years money had been poured into the country for the maintenance of guerilla forces and the general pursuance of the war, but the Communists had used only a small proportion of it in the fight against the Germans. We knew long before the event of the turn the future would take … and yet we were unable to do anything to prevent it.” (Major Moss makes one factual misstatement; “the world” was never “amazed at the wealth of gold” which the Allies had dropped on the Communists, because the world was never informed of it).
The picture was the same in every occupied country.

Fatherhood of the attack on Christianity in Spain was formally proclaimed by the official organ of the Komintern: “the flames ascending from the burning churches and monasteries of Spain have shown the true character of the Spanish revolution”; the pedigree was traced through one more generation. Ecclesiastical property was confiscated, but the Spanish masses were not enriched thereby; the gold reserve of the Bank of Spain (about 700 million dollars) was transferred to Moscow by the last Republican premier, one Juan Negrin (as related by General Walter Krivitsky).
