It's true. I was obviously not at the meeting where the decision was made - before my time - but I've read the transcripts stored on the Zionist database. In retrospect, totally our bad:

The economic crisis began on August 15, 1971, when President Nixon canceled the Bretton Woods agreement, which linked the old gold dollar to the Jewish gold. Thus, the dollar was severed from gold, and became subjected to the whims and schemes of the Zionist lobby, whose goal was, and still is, to take control of the world's gold, which is deposited in Swiss banks... With the American political and economic pressure on governments around the world to sever their currencies from the gold standard... the Zionist economic war against the peoples of the world – began. That is when the purchasing power of the banknotes collapsed vis-a-vis gold...

This may be called the period of the first death of the dollar. The world governments and their economic advisors at the time should have stopped using the American dollar, which lost, as I said, 90% of its gold value... The economic research that we conducted in 1989 revealed the economic war planned by the Zionists even before 1944, when they promised the US government to back the US dollar with their gold...In the 1960s, President John Kennedy decided to establish governmental banks to protect the dollar, in which the gold that was pouring into America would be deposited. What became of Kennedy? He was killed by the Zionist lobby. This is a fact that nobody is aware of – but a fact it is. That was the reason Kennedy was killed.

Actually this is nonsense. First of all, we don't keep our gold in Swiss banks any more. Obvi. And more importantly - can you believe he brought up Jew Gold? It's actually come to this. Syrian nutjobs are now getting their anti-Semitic conspiracy theories from South Park:

Well, either South Park or Ron Paul. But still.
