Tungsten-Filled 1 Kilo Gold Bar Found In The UK Tyler Durden's picture Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/24/2012 16:50 -0400 Australia Central Banks Germany Hyperinflation Roman Empire United Kingdom The last time a story of Tungsten-filled gold appeared on the scene, was just two years ago, and involved a 500 gram bar of gold full of tungsten, at the W.C. Heraeus foundry, the world's largest metal refiner and fabricator. It also became known that said "gold" bar originated from an unnamed bank. It is now time to rekindle the Tungsten Spirits with a report from ABC Bullion of Australia, which provides photographic evidence of a new gold bar that has been drilled out and filled with tungsten rods, this time not in Germany but in an unnamed city in the UK, where it was intercepted by a scrap metals dealer, and was supplied with its original certificate. The reason the bar attracted attention is that it was 2 grams underweight. Upon cropping it was uncovered that about 30-40% of the bar weight was tungsten. So two documented incidents in two years: isolated? Or indication of the same phenomonenon of precious metal debasement that marked the declining phase of the Roman empire. Only then it was relatively public for anyone who cared to find out on their own. Now, with the bulk of popular physical gold held in top secret, private warehouses around the world, where it allegedly backs the balance sheets of the world's central banks, yet nobody can confirm its existence, nor audit the actual gold content, it is understandable why increasingly more are wondering: just how much gold is there? From ABC Bullion: ABC Bullion received the following email from one of our trusted suppliers this week. Note: It was not ABC Bullion that purchased this bar, the email and photos were sent to us as a general warning. I xxxx'ed out the city's name to avoid any second guessing as to the name of the dealer. 19/03/2012: Attached are photographs of a legitimate Metalor 1000gm Au bar that has been drilled out and filled with Tungsten (W). This bar was purchased by staff of a scrap dealer in xxxxx, UK yesterday. The bar appeared to be perfect other than the fact that it was 2gms underweight. It was checked by hand-held xrf and showed 99.98% Au. Being Tungsten, it would not be ferro-magnetic. The bar was supplied with the original certificate. The owner of the business that purchased the bar only became suspicious when he realized the weight discrepancy and had the bar cropped. He estimates between 30-40% of the weight of the bar to be Tungsten. This is very worrying and reinforces the lengths that people are willing to go to profit from the current high metal prices. Please be careful. Photos of the cropped bars: 1000g Gold bar cut showing inserted tungsten rods Two halves of the cropped bar: Finally, some observations from Paul Mylchreest on debasement: Let’s consider the run-up to Rome’s hyperinflation. I think this comment from http://jaysromanhistory.com “Good Money, Bad Money, and Runaway Inflation” resonates with what’s happening in the US today: “Severus Alexander (AD 222-235) tried to reform by going back to the denarius but, once started, this path of runaway inflation and financial irresponsibility on the part of the imperial government proved impossible to control.” It also seems that the hyperinflation was preceded by some kind of banking crisis, which is an interesting parallel. From “Demise and Fall of the Augustan Monetary System” by Koenraad Verboven: “Papyri show it was common for private individuals to deposit money at a bank and to make and accept payments through bankers.Bankers in the west disappear from view around the middle of the 3rd c… A famous papyrus from Oxyrhynchus from 260 CE shows exchange bankers closing in order to avoid having to change the ‘imperial money’. The strategos ordered the exchange bankers to reopen and accept all genuine coins and warned businessmen to do the same. In 266 CE we find for the first time transactions being expressed in ‘ptolemaeic’ or ‘old silver’ as opposed to ‘new silver’.” The chart shows how inflation remained relatively subdued until a tipping point was reached in the late- 260s A.D Monetary systems can absorb substantial abuse before there is a dramatic impact on the price level. For example, the debasement of the coinage was already accelerating in the early part of the third century A.D., before plunging in the latter part. Indeed, the chart below (apologies for the quality) only shows the trend up to 253 AD. By around 290 AD, the coins were only dipped in silver to give them a coating (<0.5%): >www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2012/03/bar3_0.jpg">

Of course bullion is not currency, but the Romans took the debasement of coinage seriously enough to call for the death penalty in the case of tampering with coined money in this way, as did the U. S. Coinage Act of 1792. A people that would and could throw the bums out in the voting booth never has to. - Prefrontal Vortex
History is repeating itself again, but this time at a much bigger scale.
Yes. No one would do this to one bar. There must be thousands corrupted like this. I'll bet those evil Nazi bankers manufactured the fake gold bars just to rip off the hard-working jewish bankers in 2012!!! Damn those Nazi bastards, it's another HOLOCO$T!! REPARATIONS!! REPARATIONS!!!! Section 19. And be it further enacted, That if any of the gold or silver coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of the fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same out to be pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent intent, and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offenses, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall suffer death.

FWIW, those tungsten rods would've had to have been cast into place. There's no way you could drill those bars lengthwise without breaking out the side or distorting the hell out of the bar. I wonder what's really going on here. I'm kind of wondering if this is some kind of a false flag to scare people away from buying gold.

The were stories of a bunch of them showing up in Russia and traced back to the US government. I have theorized that the "missing" gold under the world trades didn't really exist. The fact that is was bogus gold has been covered up by its disappearance. Yes. No one would do this to one bar.

The governments have been doing it for a while now. I'll have to see if I can dig up a link to those ones found in Russia. I wonder what's really going on here. I'm kind of wondering if this is some kind of a false flag to scare people away from buying gold.

Yes, these rods are suspended in the middle of the ingot. Not easy to do. Metalor is not a popstand, BTW. If you look at their website, you can see that this is not a mom & pop: www.metalor.com/ You also see that their one kilo bars are numbered. FWIW, those tungsten rods would've had to have been cast into place. There's no way you could drill those bars lengthwise without breaking out the side or distorting the hell out of the bar.

U seem to be unusually informed. Are U really on a farm? The farm folks I know would never had made such a theory. But I don't know all FF. I have theorized that the "missing" gold under the world trades didn't really exist. The fact that is was bogus gold has been covered up by its disappearance.

have you ever since this? what do you make of it? "...SEPTEMBER 11th Last minute details: REMOVE BILLIONS IN GOLD BARS ON FLATBED TRUCKS (see below), lock the rooftop doors, turn off the rooftop TV cameras, order news helicopter out of the WTC airspace. No witnesses of the Bell 212 helicopter desired....." Karl Schwarz reports on the movement of billions in gold bars from the WTC basement on the morning of 9/11. Subject: Caller tells of World Trade Center gold movement on morning of 9-11 From: Stargate723@webtv.net (Mark Andrews) Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2004 WAS THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK COMPLETELY EMPTIED OF GOLD IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK ON 9-11-01? On the morning of September 11, 2001, there were $167 billion dollars in gold bars in Federal Reserve vaults in the basement of the World Trade Center. Since the destruction of the twin towers, there has been much speculation as to what might have become of all of the gold. A female caller to the Bill Bochiers radio program on WLW, Cincinnati (11-06-04) told of a report from her friend who worked at the WTC. The friend said that on the morning of 9-11 she was on her way to her job at the World Trade Center, along the route she normally took. As she turned a corner at the base of the Center, she saw two large flat bed trucks parked at one of the entrances. One of the trucks had already been loaded and had its contents covered by a large tarp. The second truck was in the process of having its bed loaded with stacks of solid gold bars. Both sides of the street were lined by black uniformed troops with machine guns who kept an eye on the operation and on the surrounding area. The bewildered woman kept a distance from the activity and watched as the second truck was loaded, and its contents covered with a tarp. The two trucks were then driven away with the soldiers traveling along as escort. The woman was so stunned by what she had seen that she turned around and did not report to work that morning, which, as it turned out, most probably saved her life when the towers were attacked and destroyed only about an hour later.

Some things just jump out at me and vibrate with truth. However difficult it may be for our asleep at the wheel citizens to get their minds around the scale of the evil swindles regularly perp'ed against us, I feel strongly about certain reports that I believe are consistent with the evil greed of the Fed Cons, The BP Drillers, The Weathermen at HAARP, PNAC, etc.,. This report is one such bankers' vibrating dildo. Emphasis on the evil. i have a theory that T.A.R.P. [Troubled Asset Relief Program] is an illuminati joke re their gold and wealth heist(s) from the American people and "covering up" and getting away with it.
