I hate to nit-pick, but the gold is still worthless. It is essentially just a "container" for the latinum.

Like I said.

No one on this board knows anything about the Fort Knox gold. It is only a rather useless metal, anyway. I heard they heisted all of the bitcoins, too.

It is easy to find out how much gold is in Fort Knox or in any central banks' vault, this is to audit and physically count them. Such a request was actually motioned, but Congress voted it down.

What is shocking is that government leases its gold to "bullion bank" for a rent fee like 0.25% annually. Government gets paid the rent and now has actually no gold in the vault. The bullion bank in turn sell the gold 10 times over, like fractional banking. The gold are now paper gold which are actively traded.

Germany asks to get 5%(or a small portion, something like that) of their gold back. Since there is actually no physical gold, the German were told it would take 5 years.

Gold anodized tungsten? bars. It's already been demonstrated that many shipments of 'gold' transferred between governments are fakes. They need to be assayed or analyzed down to the last bar.

Notice the Fort Knox caper has also gone down the memory hole so far?

I think the gold is there. But it's been leveraged to MULTIPLE parties, maybe even multiple times for each

And a bonafide, publicly released audit would reveal that, which will obviously cause a shitshow for everyone involved.

Whereas a rigged audit that omitted that, publicly released would cause those with claims on the gold to raise a stink that the audit didn't reveal their claim on it. AND THAT would be a Jerry Springer Show level of shitshow.

Think about it: If the gold was just gone, no one would really be impacted. Pols would bitch. PatNetters would bitch. But so what? Another news cycle.

But if the US flimflammed other nations - including allies - think Jerry Springer & Montell Williams having a baby.

Inquiring minds want to know: was Jerry or Montel Menstruating?

Yeah, what happened with that?

"Trump revealed our gold is gone and crashed the Economy. Trump sucks!

Everybody over 65+: Fuck this! Trump sucks, he should have shuddup!"

There's really no win if there is way less or no gold

Come on you are stupid for even asking, its a left wing hoax nothing to see Fort Knox doesnt exist.

Reading up on why it is where it is, if they really wanted to protects it they would plant it in northeastern Utah or north western colorado. Inhospitable, only double lane roads, with wide swaths accessible by single lane dirt road only, and hundreds of miles of the nastiest guerilla fighting any foreign invader could possibly face. Imagine trying to slog from SLC or Denver through hundreds of miles of hills and mountains and a sniper on every single ridge the entire way. I’m totally convinced part of the reason we keep mining natural gas on the western slope of the Rockies is because if the US were attacked, there’s basically no way for an enemy to get there, ensuring an energy source no matter what.

Funny, but where IS the fucking money?

... remember all the buzz right after Trump returned to office last year, when DOGE was still big news, about how he and Elon Musk wanted to “audit” Fort Knox? ABC, March 5th, 2025:

Trump, Musk raise questions, without evidence, about whether nation's gold at Fort Knox has been stolen
Trump suggested he and Elon Musk would go there to check it out firsthand.

Congress even began rumbling about funding a gold audit. But shortly after that initial Fort Knox chatter, all discussion of auditing Fort Knox abruptly ended —poof! Headline from Tavex Bullion, summer 2025:

Why Did Trump and Musk Suddenly Go Silent on Fort Knox Gold?

— and then the prices of gold and silver launched like SpaceX rockets.

To be clear, there is no direct evidence that an actual DOGE‑run audit uncovered any missing gold stores. In public, Treasury and the Mint insist that “the gold is present and accounted for.” We’re just connecting dots from up in the cheap seats, but the simplest explanation is that Trump gained some leverage, and whatever covert government agency was suppressing prices on precious metals stopped doing it— allowing these commodities to finally seek their natural prices.

It’s not a chemtrail-level theory. We know they can do it. The government has admitted to manipulating gold and silver prices before. But why would Trump lift the price controls? The answer is obvious.

One huge problem when Trump arrived was that China and the BRICS were buying up and hoarding underpriced gold and silver faster than Tolkien’s greedy dwarves. That needed to stop. But even more importantly, Team Trump had plans for the gold. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly teased that he wanted to revalue and monetize our Fort Knox gold stockpile. Trump and Howard Lutnick suggested the extra money could seed a sovereign wealth fund.

In other words, gold has always been a core part of Trump’s economic plan. And if re-pricing gold is in the plan —which would be easy and logical— it also seems logical they would first want to allow the price of gold to float back to market before undertaking any revaluation, to get the best possible price. It’s the Art of the Deal. Buy low, sell high.

Believe it or not, gold is currently valued on the nation’s books at only $42.22 an ounce ($11 billion total). Marking our 262 million-ounce stockpile to market would instantly create around $1.3 trillion in value. It would also stymie the BRICS, give Trump a vast financial playground, and be more accurate and realistic. Shazam.

Still, in all its overheated gold reporting, useless corporate media never mentions any of this significant background. Instead, media prefers to vomit up wild fantasies about anxious investors fretting over Trump’s Greenland deal and buying up gold to prepare for some whimsical apocalypse.

But —before they caught on that it was helping Trump’s plan— they were able to speculate about my proposed scenario. The Economic Times, February 24, 2025— before the gold surge:

Could Fort Knox hold the key to the next gold price
explosion? Treasury dismisses revaluation of the
yellow metal, but markets smell opportunity

See? It’s right there in the headline. Fort Knox was the key to the next gold explosion. But now that Trump’s plan is unfolding, reporters, mimicking Mr. Magoo, can’t see it at all. Thanks, media.

The most likely scenario is that Trump is doing exactly what he said he would and putting America first. Every additional dollar in the price of gold (and trailing along with it, silver) makes America stronger, regardless of whether any of us have personally buried bullion in our backyards.
