Zero Hedge: Gold Counterfeiters Winning Fake Bullion War — Buyer Beware!

03 Economy, 10 Transnational Crime

The Arms Race Between Gold Counterfeiters and Bullion Testers Is Heating Up

Fake gold bars are usually made of gold-plated tungsten because the density of tungsten, which is 19.25 times that of water, is very similar to gold’s density of 19.30. This makes tungsten the most suitable metal to create counterfeit gold bars whose dimensions and weight are very close to gold.

ECM testing machines have been very effective testing tools in detecting such tungsten bars because tungsten has a much lower conductivity compared to gold (18.52 vs 44.7 MS/m). Thus, as ECM testing machines have become more mainstream, it became easy to detect gold-plated tungsten bars.

When you think in terms of the energy industy alone, the events of 2011 start to make a lot of sense. On the one hand you have the Fukushima incident which forced a shut down to Japan’s nuclear power and greatly increased reliance on imported natural gas. (mostly from Qatar). On the other hand you have the “uprising” in Syria which was well-noted to be deeply related to competing proposals for natural gas pipelines. (Qatar/Saudi on the one side and Iran on the other)

Is the fight over a gas pipeline fuelling the world’s bloodiest conflict?

Trump’s Brilliant Strategy to Dismember U.S. Dollar Hegemony

The Neocons who Trump has appointed are accomplishing what seemed unthinkable not long ago: Driving China and Russia together – the great nightmare of Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski. They also are driving Germany and other European countries into the Eurasian orbit, the “Heartland” nightmare of Halford Mackinder a century ago.

The root cause is clear: After the crescendo of pretenses and deceptions over Iraq, Libya and Syria, along with our absolution of the lawless regime of Saudi Arabia, foreign political leaders are coming to recognize what world-wide public opinion polls reported even before the Iraq/Iran-Contra boys turned their attention to the world’s largest oil reserves in Venezuela: The United States is now the greatest threat to peace on the planet.

When platforms care only about engagement, kids suffer.

Of note: Department of Justice refuses to  enforce existing federal obscenity laws (hardcore pornography) despite the fact that these laws have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and previously enforced. This is gross negligence, itself a crime.

Are We on the Road to Civilization Collapse?

Studying the demise of historic civilisations can tell us how much risk we face today, says collapse expert Luke Kemp. Worryingly, the signs are worsening.

Great civilisations are not murdered. Instead, they take their own lives.

Hawaii is setting the example: everyone down to the pole installer is being held liable for death and illness resulting from installation of 5G.  Since Lloyd's of London refuses to insure against 5G, it is clear that 5G is a THREAT to the community and any US federal mandate on 5G should be opposed by every legal means possible.
