The foreign data is from the US TIC report.
The charts are from goldchartsrus.com.
I have added a last chart of Fed Holdings, from the St. Louis Fed data, at the suggestion of my friend Arby.
"Where such a shift in power is in favor of the governing elite, Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse. Most state sponsored murder occurs under the cover of war, revolution, or guerrilla war, or in their aftermath."
