gold, at least in quantity of 100 kilos, is still and indubitably portable, proven w/i last 24 hours am guessing that some electric furnace contraption is busy right now my one-day trip to germany is coincidental albeit must hat tip to a job well done do observe that is such a BIG coin can be so easily lifted, the remaining 150,000 +/- materially smaller coins can be more easily vaporised zerohedge.com Massive 100 Kilogram Gold Coin Worth $4.5 Million Stolen From German MuseumPerhaps even more brazen than the infamous theft of a bucket full of gold woth $1.6 million from an armored truck in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan last September 29, moments ago local German press has reported that thieves broke into Berlin's Bode Museum and made off with a massive 100-kilogram (221-pound) gold coin worth millions. According to German media, the stolen coin is the "Big Maple Leaf", a commemorative piece issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007. The three-centimeter (1.18-inch) thick coin, with a diameter of 53 centimeters (20.9 inches), has a face value of $1 million. By weight alone, however, it would be worth almost $4.5 million at market prices. The Bode Museum, located on the German capital's UNESCO-listed Museum Island, houses one of the world's biggest coin collections. The holding includes 102,000 coins from ancient Greece and about 50,000 Roman coins. The Bode Museum. Photo: DPA Spokesman Stefen Petersen said thieves apparently entered through a window about 3:30 a.m. Monday, broke into a cabinet where the "Big Maple Leaf" coin was kept, and escaped with it before police arrived. German police said on Twitter that the robbers likely used a ladder found at a nearby rail track to break into the museum at around 3:30 am. Suburban rail traffic was interrupted as investigators combed the area for clues. The police did not comment on how the theives managed to cart the extremely heavy "pet rock" out of the museum without being spotted or triggering any alarms. The museum says the coin is in the Guinness Book of Records for its purity of 999.99/1000 gold. It has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and maple leaves on the other. It was unclear if the coin has already been "deposited" at one of the numerous central or commercial bank vaults who have experienced a dramatic drop in physical gold inventory as much of the yellow metal has moved to China and various private vaults in recent years, and duly replaced by mere paper claims on said metal.

Axios reports the US government faces another shut-down on April 29, Trump's 100th day in office, as the remaining 27 members of the House Freedom Caucus, the Congressional Artists formerly known as "Tea Party" refuse to support Trump's budget. The last time the government shut down was in 2013, an event that lasted for two weeks. That shutdown was a political maneuver, designed by Republicans who opposed former President Barack Obama’s immigration policies. But this isn’t 2013, and the Republicans aren’t against anything. They just have an inability to govern. The Republican congressional leadership is so desperate to find votes for Trump's budget that it’s discussing budget modifications with moderate Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus — a group that Trump cited as a source of support for his proposals during a press conference last month. This message was repeated by Rep. Ted Poe, R- Texas, who announced on Sunday he was stepping down as a member of the House Freedom Caucus.“Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do. Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead.” Trump has a lot of work to do to have the government function properly, but he's off playing golf again. MAGA

TRUMP has made Palm Beach unlivable and residents crazy as they cannot get back to their own homes ------------------------------ I do not see how in his first 100 days in office will he accomplish anything that matters to real people.
