The United States Stole Iraqi Gold & Oil Hoax Debunked!
Contents
There is a conspiracy theory going around, claiming that the United States stole Iraqi gold and oil, specifically 20 TRILLION dollars in gold and 30 TRILLION dollars worth of oil.
It is usually backed up by these pictures of American soldiers posing with Iraqi gold bars, and an Al Jazeera news report.
The United States Stole Iraqi Gold & Oil Hoax
Here is an example of the conspiracy claim that the United States stole Iraqi gold and oil :
30 trillion worth of Oil & 20 trillion in gold was stolen in the invasion on Iraq
Remember Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction and was not involved in 9/11
But his countries [sic] wealth was looted nevertheless
Then they went to Afghanistan to secure the poppy fields and lithium mines by force.
Let’s break down this conspiracy theory and see how many points are true, and how many are false.
Claim #1 : 30 Trillion Worth Of Oil Was Stolen
Claim #2 : 20 Trillion Worth Of Iraqi Gold Was Stolen
Claim #3 : Saddam Had No Weapons Of Mass Destruction & Was Not Involved In 9/11
Claim #4 : After Invading Iraq, the Americans Invaded Afghanistan
Claim #5 : The Americans Invaded Afghanistan To Secure The Poppy Fields & Lithium Mines
What About The Al Jazeera News Report On Missing Iraqi Gold & Oil?
The United States Stole Iraqi Gold & Oil Hoax Summary
Here is a summary for those who don’t need the full details :
- It is NOT POSSIBLE for the US to steal $30 trillion worth of Iraqi oil, because Iraq did not have that much oil.
- It would take the Iraqis 685 years to extract $30 trillion worth of oil!
- It is NOT POSSIBLE for the US to steal $20 trillion worth of Iraqi gold, because humans have only mined $9.2 trillion worth of gold up to 2019.
- It would take the WORLD another 90 years of mining gold at high gold prices to hit $20 trillion.
- Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction. Neither was he involved in the 9/11 attacks.
- The Americans invaded Iraq AFTER they invaded Afghanistan… not the other way around.
- The US only discovered deposits of lithium and other minerals 5 years AFTER invading Afghanistan.
- As of 2019, there are still no lithium mines in Afghanistan
- The missing money in the Al Jazeera report was actually part of a $20 billion contribution to Iraq from the United States

Of course the USA invaded Irak FIRST. Did you forget 1993? June 27 they bombed Bagdad.
so “claim #4 is not really wrong. The invaded Iraq before Afghanistan.
There was different reasons. But the US always find a reason to make war.
1776..1890 killed the natives
… real lot of war, tons of blood …
1998 there was Sudan,
1999 Kosovo
2001 Afghanistan
2003 Iraq again
2004 Haiti
and so on…..
Just about 20 or 30 years within US History this torture regime wasn’t in war for bring its interpretation of “freedom and democracy” to the rest of the world.
Yes. the will pay for this. That’s for sure.
The hoax refers to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The reply has to be in that context.
The 1991 “incursion” of Iraq in the Gulf War was part of military strategy to cut off the supply and reinforcement of Iraqi forces in Kuwait. That’s why they withdrew right within days, instead of continuing straight to Baghdad.
The 1993 cruise missile strike was not an invasion either. It was in retaliation for an attempted assassination of former President Bush.
1998 Sudan – another cruise missile attack that wrongly destroyed a pharmaceutical factory. Not a war.
1999 Kosovo – NATO bombed Yugoslavian targets because they were committing ETHNIC CLEANSING of the Albanians in Kosovo, and refused to permit peacekeepers.
2001 Afghanistan – the US invaded Afghanistan after the Taliban refused to surrender Osama bin Laden. Remember 9/11?
2003 Iraq – the US invaded Iraq under false pretences by George Bush Jr.
2004 Haiti – that was a coup d’etat that happened AFTER 3 weeks of rebellion by the Haitians. Not war.
You may have a chip on your shoulder about the US, but the article is SOLELY about the hoax of Iraqi gold and oil being stolen by the US.
BTW, you might also want to read about Russian annexation of Georgian and Ukrainian territory, Chinese invasion of Tibet, etc. There are many countries that will do what they want, because they can.
Globalist lies of the highest order.
btw. thanks for the story anyway. Good to know about that gold hoax
It’s our pleasure. The purpose is to determine the truth. In this case, the claims were just nonsensical.
Dr Adrian Wong, how times cruise missiles landed in your sleeping room?

Dr Wong.. stick to herbal Chinese medicine or what every fuk ur a Dr for because your hoax theory is dumb as shit. So are you if you think 911 was Afghan issue. Dumb fuk !
The “terror” attacks of 9-11 were the brainchild of Americans that were in power at the time that they were carried out. The same people were also behind the Oklahoma City bombing.They wanted the patriot act. The political climate in Washington at the time of the O.C. bombing was not favorable to pass it. When the O.C. bombing did not yield the desired results they decided to “go big” and thus the 9-11 incidents. A different political atmosphere and the agregious nature of the 9-11 attacks allowed passage of the pat. act, with ease. Some people were away from the pentagon on 9-11 so they did not get hurt. Coincidence? Others were not so lucky. We know that the pres. was not in Wash. on the day of the attack. The plane that flew into the ground was supposed to hit the Whitehouse. If He had been there He may have been hurt or killed. Lucky Him. The war also was desired because some people would get rich from it. Gold was stolen. It was not all accounted for. Why has there been such an increase in the heroin problem since we have been active in the opium growing regions? A thorough investigation of some of those with power and access may disclose wealth that could be hard to explain. Or it may be hidden in a foreign country.You think? With the patriot act “big brother can snoop and spy on its citizens anytime they want. Kind of like a communist country.Huh. Many of the people who have spoken of terrorist threats to the U.S. may themselves be more of a threat. Stolen gold and secured poppy fields doesn’t sound so crazy after all.Certainly not beyond the realm of possibilities.
Mr.Hamilton,your absolutely right.I guess it’s just to hard for some people to accept the fact that their on government would kill their own citizens just to further their on goal.
What hoax?
Are you A Zionist?
USA is a terrorist organization that has robbed the wealth of almost EVERY Nation on the Planet.
Who do work for exactly?

US Political and Military Interventions since 1945
The US has launched a series of military and political interventions since
1945, often to install puppet regimes, or alternatively to engage in
political actions such as smear campaigns, sponsoring or targeting
opposition political groups (depending on how they served US interests),
undermining political parties, sabotage and terror campaigns, and so forth.

US Perversions of Foreign Elections
The US has specifically intervened to rig or distort the outcome of foreign
elections, and sometimes engineered sham “demonstration” elections to ward
off accusations of government repression in allied nations in the US sphere
of influence. These sham elections have often installed or maintained in
power repressive dictators who have victimized their populations. Such
practices have occurred in nations such as:
Philippines (1950s)
Italy (1948-1970s)
Lebanon (1950s)
Indonesia (1955)
Vietnam (1955)
Guyana (1953-64)
Japan (1958-1970s)
Nepal (1959)
Laos (1960)
Brazil (1962)
Dominican Republic (1962)

US Versus World at the United Nations
The US has repeatedly acted to undermine peace and human rights initiatives
at the United Nations, routinely voting against hundreds of UN resolutions
and treaties. The US easily has the worst record of any nation on not
supporting UN treaties. In almost all of its hundreds of “no” votes, the US
was the “sole” nation to vote no (among the 100-130 nations that usually
vote), and among only 1 or 2 other nations voting no the rest of the time.
Here’s a representative sample of US votes from 1978-1987:

Other Lethal US Interventions
CIA Terror Training Manuals
Development and distribution of training manuals for foreign military
personnel or foreign nationals, including instructions on assassination,
subversion, sabotage, population control, torture, repression,
psychological torture, death squads, etc.
Specific Torture Campaigns
Creation and launching of direct US campaigns to support torture as an
instrument of terror and social control for governments in Greece, Iran,
Vietnam, Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama
Supporting and Harboring Terrorists
The promotion, protection, arming or equiping of terrorists such as:
. Klaus Barbie and other German Nazis, and Italian and Japanese fascists,
after WW II
. Manual Noriega (Panama), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), Rafael Trujillo
(Dominican Republic), Osama bin Laden (Afghanistan), and others whose
terrorism has come back to haunt us
. Running the Higher War College (Brazil) and first School of the Americas
(Panama), which gave US training to repressors, death squad members, and
torturers (the second School of the Americas is still running at Ft.
Benning GA)
. Providing asylum for Cuban, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Haitian, Chilean,
Argentinian, Iranian, South Vietnamese and other terrorists, dictators, and
torturers
Assassinating World Leaders
Using assassination as a tool of foreign policy, wherein the CIA has
initiated assassination attempts against at least 40 foreign heads of state
(some several times) in the last 50 years, a number of which have been
successful, such as: Patrice Lumumba (Congo), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican
Republic), Ngo Dihn Diem (Vietnam) Salvador Allende (Chile)
Arms Trade & US Military Presence
. The US is the world’s largest seller of weapons abroad, arming
dictators, militaries, and terrorists that repress or victimize their
populations, and fueling scores of violent conflicts around the globe
. The US is the world’s largest provider of live land mines which, even in
peacetime, kill or injure at least several people around the world each day
. The US has military bases in at least 50 nations around the world, which
have led to frequent victimization of local populations.
. The US military has been bombing one Middle Eastern or Muslim nation or
another almost continuously since 1983, including Lebanon, Libya, Syria,
Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq (almost daily bombings since 1991)
This, then, is a sampling of American foreign policies over the last 50
years. The FBI uses the following definition for Terrorism: “The unlawful
use of force or violence committed by a group or individual, who has some
connection to a foreign power or whose activities transcend national
boundaries, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a
government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance
of political or social objectives.” This sounds like the terrorism we just
experienced. It also sounds a lot like the US policies and actions since
1945 that I’ve just described.
