An image of all of the world’s mined gold in one cube with dimensions of 20.5m. If it was all melted, it would fit within the confines of an Olympic Swimming Pool.
All gold mined in history, stacked in 400 oz bars. The 166,500 tonnes here is actually divided into four levels: the bottom level is jewelry (50.5% of all gold), the 2nd level is private investment (18.7%), the third level is world governments (17.4%), and the highest level is other uses for gold such as industry (13.4%).
Here’s the world’s gold reserves by government circa 2012. This is slightly outdated, with China and Russia both having significant increases since then.
Only problem is that a lot of that gold pictured is actually double and triple counted.
if you believe that the United States still has over 8,000 tons you’re a sheeple
not that there’s anything wrong with that
Specie is right: due to gold leasing by TPTB , we need to change the USA and China labels around ( and shortly the values of the dollar and yuan). The NEOCONs have been using America for toilet paper for their own greedy Elite pleasure and probably at the behest of Israel.
Nothing gets past the TBP monkeys. Not sure I would believe ANY country’s stated gold reserves. Germany’s real reserves are probably close to 0.0 given that the NY Fed couldn’t send them back when asked politely a few years ago, and after a long silence Germany said “Oh, ja, no problem.”
Going along with the above comments, you can bet that there are competing government and private claims to nearly all gold bars, and given the lessons of the “financial crisis”* you can bet that the order of real priority in who gets theirs first and who gets zilch is going to be:
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan
Federal Reserve Bank
anonymous governments (*cough* “the one true democracy in the middle east”)
Some other well-connected private banks

bagholders: all other governments, banks, investment funds, and individuals
*why should we call this the “financial crisis” any more? Why not start calling it what it really is – the Bankster Coup? (or coup d’etat for those who like French)
If “we” actually possessed the stated amounts, then actual audits would be done on a regular basis to assure no funny business.
Own a business in this country, and see if ANY government/bank/regulator or insurance company allows you to operate based on statements that are NOT audited.
We are legally responsible for MULTIPLE audits annually.
Yet they want me to believe that audits are not worthwhile in reverse?
Mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed bullshit. We are absolute mushrooms that we, the people, don’t rise up and fire these crooked, corrupted, controlling, evil, bastards.
Ponzi on.
I heard that Fort Knox gets weekly shipments of Rust-Oleum gold paint.
Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard, To give the poor dog a bone;
When she came there, The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog had none.
Old Uncle Sam went to Fort Knox to get the people some gold; but unfortunately found out it was all sold by the Hanky Panky of Greenspan and Bernanke; Americans were all fools and now can’t even afford gurel; the Elite are all snug in their bunkers so sound but everyone else is starving above ground.
I will settle for whats in the back of that pickup truck.
