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.
"To enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.' To be a complete man means to have the passions obedient to the will and the will offered to God: to have been a man – to be an ex-man or 'damned ghost' – would presumably mean to consist of a will utterly centered in its self and passions utterly uncontrolled by the will." C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, 1940
