Fake gold bars in Bank of England and Fort Knox

Asheron

It’s one thing to counterfeit a twenty or hundred dollar bill. The amount of financial damage is usually limited to a specific region and only affects dozens of people and thousands of dollars. Secret Service agents quickly notify the banks on how to recognize these phony bills and retail outlets usually have procedures in place (such as special pens to test the paper) to stop their proliferation.


But what about gold? This is the most sacred of all commodities because it is thought to be the most trusted, reliable and valuable means of saving wealth.
A recent discovery — in October of 2009 — has been suppressed by the main stream media but has been circulating among the “big money” brokers and financial kingpins and is just now being revealed to the public. It involves the gold in Fort Knox — the US Treasury gold — that is the equity of our national wealth. In short, millions (with an “m”) of gold bars are fake!


Who did this? Apparently our own government.

This so much smacks of one of those marvellous hoaxes that do the rounds occasionally. A quick Google shows debates have been sparked on the various forums, eg

I had a quick look at the Wiki page for Tungsten and it confirms that the density is similar to gold, and it also had a link to this article:

Which is a popular science website. There are various sentences in there that seem to have been copied and pasted into the article on the daily.pk website.
