A BRIcK in hand is better than two in NATO...
Follow the yellow BRIcK road...
a Gold finger worth more than an iron fist.
A Brick In The Hand...and you can stand like a man.
....is worth 2 leveraged 71:1 at the Fed.
How many of these CAN fit into the Military-Industrial Complex's asshole?
Now if the wall were only made out of something.

Why does this one say 'Bundesbank'?

It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got Obama beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts aren't too tight in the seat.

Man that thing is almost as heavy as my dick.
I win!

Putin:
"I wonder what would happen if Russia would demand gold-for-gas from Europe?"
"If you can't hold it, you don't own it."
That's how world trade used to work, until 1971 when the whole system went to hell.
Wow those pics sure show that the protestors had no reason at all for throwing those bums out.

I can dream, can't I?
I wish Putin would take that gold bar in bash you know who over the head. The one who the Belgian newspapers make look like an ape.
old McCain?
Echoes of Nikita Khrushchev...With this "we will bury you."
*ding ding ding!
Looks like we have our winner...
Honest question --
I understand how gold bar edges are rounded on 5 sides of the mould. What I do not understand is how bars edges are rounded on the last (top?) side. Looks like it would damage the mould. (maybe one mould per bar? maybe tooled when simi-hard?) I have this image of a bored employee grinding away the last few edges (gold dust flying everywhere.)
It's gold. If you want it could be hammered with ease.
Large bars are poured into cast Iron molds , there is a surface tansion between the liquid Gold and the mold that creates a rounded edge at the top of the pour. I just started smelting this year , I only wish I was pouring bars that big.
Surface Tension of the liquified Gold is correct. But it has nothing to do with the Mold. There is still COHESION between the Gold atoms in the liquified state. Thus if spilled (poured) on a flat surface without a mold then it takes the shape of a oblate spheriod with a flat bottom with curvature (A Button) much like the "Liquid Metal" Mercury.
So the simplest answer, without my description (now required), or your expression of a lack of understanding, would have been to write, "Surface Tension" and then had left it.
Just wait until Putin demands physical gold payments for their natural gas to the EU.
If he does, someone is going to be invaded. Most likely, and of sheer coincidence, a country with lots of gold reserves. How much gold does Tunisia have?!
"Gold, the financial guillotine."
Really fixated on the guillotines, aren't you?
If you read Bernays' book, "Propaganda," you will realize what I am doing.
Confucius didn't say, but I did: "Knowing your enemy is to be able to use your enemy."
The thought of being dragged out onto the street to have your head sliced off by the very people you once treated with utter distain, certainly would tend to give most sane people pause.
However what about the true sociopath?
Who knows how they view potentialities...
Viewing the sun glinting off the edge of the blade should give 'em pause for thought.
How's that for a potentiality?
It is more of a message of what will need to be done.
Not really concerned with the sociopaths, as they won’t, can’t, change.
People really need to realize that a choice is coming whether they like it or not: They can wither away in poverty and misery with everyday a fight to just survive or fight to take back the county, the American country, from these treasonous criminals and murderers.
The choice is coming: Persecution or Revolution.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying, quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: Is there really any place for these sociopaths and criminals in a restored civil and Constitutional society?!
Restoration: Restore the Constitutional republic.

Here's an earlier(1923) Bernay's book: Crystallizing Public Opinion
Thank you for the book.
Bonus point(s): It gives the NSA something to think really hard about...
Look at the shit going on in Romania at Rosia Montana!!! Deposits known of since pre-Roman times, which now have been put into play - and yes, Soros is there as is/are proxy of Israel's gov (a search will reveal that whole mess). Sadly atop the deposit is a gorgeous region which is being turned into an open Battery Acid pit, forgetting the travesty of ~10 years ago just next door in Hungary, when a far smaller operation's dam busted and .... gold turned to shit, causing much destruction in the Danube and downstream areas.
I am confident that greed will prevail, again, with the price to be paid in the not distant future by all.
For as much as I cannot stand Putin, lets face it: he's played it right for the most part.
Putin has the BRICKs and we've got the PRICKS!!!
This WILL make Putin target the $ and renew & expedite the war on whatever is left of our "leadership".... IMO
Yes, waiting is probably exactly what we'll have to do.

Good one Lore.. How about this too:
"this is more gold than is in Fort Knox.."
I'm waiting for this photoshopped pic with Obama holding his dick in his hand...
Photoshopped?
How about one of Putin taking that gold bar and slamming it down on Bammy's member?
How about an unphotoshopped pic of Oblahma holding someone else's dick in his mouth?
Close enough for ya??
..."interesting, KITCO 400 oz .999 GOLD, this bars never goin back"
"And this one over here says, 'Property of the German People, if found please return to The Bundesbank, preferably within 7 years'"
Everyone in the Obama Administration are shitting bricks while I'm shitting these. Is that great or what!?
A brick in the hand
is not worth as much as two in my pocket.
Says the man who walked away with Robert Kraft's Superbowl ring.
Putin thinks:
Maybe it makes sense to shove this brick Obama's ass?
"The paint is dry on this one. Send it to JP Morgan."
Krugman never saw it coming (look at the front page).
I hate it when guys hold gold with kid gloves. Damm it.... grab the mother fucker and hold it. Drop it in the ocean for a hundred years... ain't gonna hurt it. Will come out looking the same as the day you sent er to davie jones locker.
With the white knuckles and lines on Putin's forehand that motherfucker is not holding that bar with kid gloves.
You are correct. You ain't gonna hurt it. However there is wear and it does lose weight from wear after a period of time. I made a ring back in 1995 which weighed 21.0 Grams of 14K.
After Nineteen Years of wearing it the ring now weighs 20.8 grams. This is due to knocks, abrasion, Polishing, etc.
Tyler , do you have a copy of that in "wallpaper" sizes?

Vladimir Putin
sound familiar?
"WASHINGTON, March 24, 2014 — According to a report from the New York Times, the government of Ukraine has ordered any of its citizens in possession of “illegal guns” to turn them in to the authorities. This move is being heralded by the European Union, which has made this step a provision of membership. Kiev believes that disarming Ukrainians will go a long way to end the escalating destabilization and the ever present threat of violence that has risen with the formation of “self-defense groups.” Others see this as a superficial power grab, and meddling politics on behalf of Europe."

Funny, the last coup happened because of guns, and the resultant government wants to ban... guns? Hmmm.
The last bastion / frontier is?
MOLON LABE.
Isn't that coincidental? Wow. Who would have thought???

Putin: " GOLD BITCHEZZZ"
"I must break you."
In his mind he secretly amuses himself thinking;
"Ha ha ha, Barry, guess what The Motherland owns what your indebted nation only has as a custodian? Gold, you little buffoon!"
Crimea pays.
winner.
Wow, you call the Preakness at the quarter?
I am Gavrikon, and I approved this avatar.
This is the moment where the whole world decides the people with the most Gold, Guns and the biggest Gardens wins. I call it the three Gs of success for the 21st century.
4Gs - and the Duke says number 4 is guts.
"Da, dis veighs just about right!"
Putin 100% inpects NY Fed inventory.
"Feels like...styrofoam."

It's gold is gone. It has to go on the open market to buy it.

Does Germany think this one's being held by the Fed too?
Da Vladimir, Germany stills think that. The Fed sent us even their gold. Look at the gloves, they're Merkel's.

It looks like Platinum or Palladium in the picture. Silver is much more white.
