Time to audit Fort Knox

I’d say we need some answers here, what do you think? Last “Audit” was 50 years ago. Already stinks to high heaven if you ask me.

I didnt think any gold was there for decades. Used to be stored there but thought it was all moved out.

We would go there and train back in the 90’s. Seen the depository (from a distance) .

If its still active, i guess you learn something new every day

As of the end of 2023, Fort Knox held 147.3 million ounces of gold, which is valued at $6.22 billion. This gold is stored in the form of gold bars.

What if it’s a Geraldo vault opening moment and its empty?

147,300,000 oz x $2,890.09/oz (At current price) = $425 Billion, 710 million, 257 thousand dollars, not $6 billion. (Amazingly, only about $26 billion more than Elon’s net worth.)

Even MORE amazing, is that THAT amount doesn’t even come close to paying the INTEREST on the nation’s debt FOR JUST ONE YEAR!!! (That’s how far our government has thrown our country under the bus, and why we ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO get rid of as much of the forth branch of government (The bureaucracy) as we can.

This is TRULY a singular moment in our nation’s history where we have significant momentum to do it.

You guys are forgetting the stuff from WW2… That we got from other countries. That is stored there also. We even had the Magna Carta there . They say most of it was returned …Wink Wink … I really wish we had our own Magna Carta …

The US government stopped reliance on gold a very long time ago when it discovered that it could meet its financing needs for politically popular social programs and military adventurism by simply printing the money.

The gold in Ft. Knox is now just a pile of shiny metal bars the government has no use for. Turning on the printing presses to send money to the Ukraine or Israel is much easier than shipping them gold bars.

How about selling to gold on the market to people who think gold is valuable, and use the money from the sale to pay down the $36+ TRILLION national debt?

Don’t worry about the debt. The government is to big to fail… We will get a bailout from China… :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Nothing to audit. Goldfinger and ■■■■■ Galore cleaned it out 61 years ago. The 007 movie was a coverup.

The $6.2 billion number is based on the government’s book value of $42.22 per ounce instead of the current valuation…

If they are selling at $42.22 an ounce, I will take a second mortgage on my house to buy a few tons.

AI: The official price of gold in the United States was $42.22 per ounce at the end of 1973 and 1974. This was after the price was raised from $38 per ounce in 1972.

Out of sight out of mind?

I took a photo from the car waiting to go in the gate one day. The MP pulled me to the side and was going to confiscate my camera. I talked him into letting me delete the photo and keep my camera.

Some of the guys I worked with at the base said they had been inside when they were in High School and the gold was there at that time. Thinking back, those guys were probably in HS in the 70’s or 80’s.

Because selling all that gold wouldn’t make the slightest dent in the debt. And when the rest of the world realizes that all those U.S. dollars aren’t worth the paper they are printed on, that gold (if it wasn’t pocketed long ago by the politicians and their backers) might be one of the few valuable things our Nation has left to barter with.

Several years ago, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, while visiting Tampa, my wife and I saw a sign at the dock advertising “Tour a Russian Submarine” and, sure enough, there was a missile sub docked there to be toured.

I asked “So where did you get this?” The answer was the tour operators simply bought the sub from some shadowy former Soviet naval officer(s) who had not been paid for some time. I suspect we’ll see a replay of that string of events unless government get serious about tackling the debt.

I’m going with little or nothing in Fort Knox.

Last time Fort Knox was “audited”, it was only a small part of it, citing that privateers had their stuff in there, too and it was not to be looked at.

My guess is most of the gold – probably all of the gold – was sold at retail after Nixon lifted the Gold Standard in 1971.

Just kidding - I’m sure it’s all there

I have seen a few times that show by that life long sleuths/ historian and author Brad Meltzer where he sends a team of four to investigate things and my conclusion is there’s nothing there anymore, been pilfers thru and stole by politicians and who knows who else. This is just what I gathered from it

Lee Zelden is saying the EPA deposited $20 billion in gold in a certain bank at the end of the bidumb residency.

Don’t those bars have serial numbers? :face_with_monocle:

Not literally $20 billion in Gold. The “Gold bars” he was referring to was in response to an EPA official who stated that it was like they were “Throwing gold bars off the Titanic” at the end of the Biden regime.
