Some tweets and memes are reporting that literal gold bars were found, but that was not the case.

Just massive theft of dollars from the taxpayers.

Speaking of gold:

When it comes down to country’s gold reserves, it’s always sounds like emperor with no clothes.

During press comments on Air Force One yesterday, Trump announced that DOGE will inspect the Nation’s gold reserves at Fort Knox.

The President told reporters, "We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. We're going to go into the fabled Fort Knox and make sure the gold is there. If the gold isn't there— we're going to be very upset."

Elon Musk suggested on Twitter/X that the inspection would be live-streamed. I’m not sure how that could work, given the national security implications. But it has people talking.

Trump’s proposal to audit the gold reserves is common sense, and we will see how the Democrats complain about this one.

A mere 'inspection' of the Fort Knox gold isn't enough. Each bar would need to be assayed, weighed and cataloged. Such a process is necessary, but would be very time consuming. Unless that is done, the declared content of Fort Knox gold is completely bogus and untrustworthy.

What is all these attempts to undermine the trust in US creditworthiness? Stinks of treason.

The real treason is in hijacking the "full faith and credit of the US" if the gold is indeed stolen. Running a fraud on the American people and the rest of the world would necessitate an "insider" ring of privileged scammers, establishing such a privileged class would be violation of the US Constitution . . . and frankly not only bad for Americans (and the cattle of the rest of the world) but also bad for the "insiders" as such "insider" population would have to be culled by 50-90% and move shop every few generations in order to keep those scams going. Due to statistical genetic reversion to mean, most children born to high IQ parents have lower IQ than their parents despite their average still being somewhat higher than the average of all children, so periodic systemic genocide against the "insider" children would be inevitable in order to maintain a significant IQ differential between the "insider" population vs. the general cattle population, getting rid of the hangers-on. At that point, you have to wonder who are the real cattle being fed on corn/grass then slaughtered/genocided. We are reaching a point where technology is making such knowledge about human farming no longer limited to the very high IQ people who can glean such info on their own from reading the Old Testament alone. The authors of the US Constitution saw that coming, and that's why they advocated a system that doesn't allow government enforced privileges for anyone. Transparency and allowing the exceptionally competent individuals having temporary leadership might just be the better outcome for everyone when access to "insider" knowledge is becoming easier. Frankly, it's a better outcome than a world where most people are dumb cattle/sheep, while a few "insiders" killing each other for the power to manipulate the cattle/sheep.

Unless they (Trump and Musk) plan to kill the dollar in order to introduce something else. I don't think they will do a real audit like that because it would expose the gold market and kill the US dollar. There's no way all the gold is there untampered.

The international stealing and storage of gold is an opaque sport. Supposedly, as part of the multi tasking of the 9/11 false flag, gold vaults under New York were emptied out to parts unknown. The Iraq war resulted in a huge robbery of gold and ancient treasures and treatises from that country.

There is also that 'white hat' invasion of the Vatican where gunshots were heard and the Vatican went dark for a couple of months during the first Trump administration. Supposedly, an enormous fleet of military craft stuffed with Vatican gold and treasure were take from the Vatican tunnels, also to parts unknown. However, this may be the grub stake Trump took back from the Vatican depradations over the centuries in order to underpin the bankruptcy of the DC corporation and re-establish the credit base of the Republic after the bankruptcy of the zombie Brit and Vatican corporations that seems to be unwinding now.

There are all of those stories of the Japanese stealing gold during WWII and that gold cache being stored in the Philippines. Direct witnesses these various alleged gold stores, however, seem to be in short supply, or they are killed to keep the gold mythologies alive. Our buddy Benjamin Fulford is always talking about the 'Chinese Elders' and their vast gold holdings that could provide grub stake to the economies of the whole world, but again, all that seems to be nearly mythical.

The USD has been appreciating significantly over other fiat currencies in the last 15 years; e.g. nearly doubling against JPY. Too strong of a USD makes US export and import-replacement (i.e. domestic production) difficult. Trump's plan seems to be promoting domestic production where possible, and the US taking a larger slice in the benefit of import trade (through tariffs) where replacement is not possible. It's a sound strategy. Discrediting the banking system where foreign dictators / bosses-of-slave-workers send their loot makes sense. The global hot money flow robbing foreign workers of their retirement (through color revolutions and endless wars) has been making imports artificially cheap and thereby upsetting the power balance between the bankers vs. the workers in the US . . . just like the Roman taking over of slave grain plantations in Egypt led to ridiculously cheap grains bankrupting Roman farmers in Italy. Not to mention being too dependent on imports makes the US extremely vulnerable to sea lane disruption in case of major war (just like UK during WW1 and WW2): you can't print weapons like printing money.

I'm not sure how Fort Knox would have a direct effect on the US Dollar being that Nixon 'closed the gold window' and by doing so, decoupled the link of gold to the Dollar back in 1971. Quick little history on why that was done ...

According to the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, some 40+ nations agreed to have their currencies linked directly to the US Dollar which was alternately backed by America's gold reserves. By doing so, the other participating nations were in effect also linked to gold (without having to own any themselves) and were therefore regulated as to how much currency they could create in relation to the gold linked dollars being created by the US Treasury. One thing is important to realize; it was understood that at any time, a member nation could exchange their currency for an equal amount in gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This created a sense of confidence in the stability of the US Dollar. Bretton Woods operated kind of like how the fractional reserve banking system works. As long as a member nation didn't show up with a boatload of their own currency looking for an equal exchange in gold, the system worked fine. Then it suddenly didn't. Suspecting that America actually didn't have the gold that it claimed, French President Charles de Gaulle sent a French Navy Battleship into New York Harbor announcing that he wanted to exchange his 'boatload' of French francs for the equivalent in American gold. President Nixon dramatically responded by 'closing the gold window,' which to a very large degree, ended the Bretton Woods Agreement. (There is little doubt that the Federal Reserve did not have enough gold in order to fulfill its stated promise).

When Nixon closed the window, the entire financial world held its breath not knowing what such an even would have on the stability of the global financial system. For some reason, it somehow did not panic. However, not long after closing the gold window, the US Dollar was coupled to Middle East oil, thereby creating the Petro Dollar. In this scheme, agreed upon by OPEC, virtually all of the world's purchases had be done by converting their currency first to the US Dollar, which of course strengthened the desire for and the value of the Dollar. The US responded by creating more and more currency, hence the high inflation during Carter and Reagan's first term. It is actually this system that BRICS is currently attempting to end.

Reality says

The USD has been appreciating significantly over other fiat currencies in the last 15 years

I think that is due in large part to the strength of, along with the threat of, the American military.

Along with others, there were two primary reasons as to why Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were overthrown. They both made the fatal mistake of attempting to create a gold backed Arab currency as a replacement of the US Petro Dollar for all oil transactions, and other trade, within Iraq and Libya. Had they succeeded, such a move may very well have spread throughout the oil rich region and caused havoc for that con that is the US Dollar.

That's the most commonly cited theory; however, I wonder what Mullah in Iran or which Saudi prince would use a currency with Hussein's or Qaddafi's face on it? IMHO, they were toppled for their gold reserves to fulfill Comex delivery requests, and to prevent their sons from inheriting the local mafia/government businesses, not to mention all the bank accounts held by not only these two clans but also all their hangers on in the bureaucracies could be zero'ed out.

While having the ability to defend our own country is important, I don't think foreigners convert their wealth into dollars then put in the US, UK and Swiss banks because of the US military is operating in their neighborhoods. They convert their wealth into dollars, pounds and swiss francs because they believe the banks are relatively safe, compared to banks in their own countries and their own dictators that might confiscate their wealth in their countries. As we saw, once the confiscation started against Russian money in US, UK and Swiss banks, the various foreign dictators and their hangers-on became alarmed and moved their money to places like Dubai and Singapore.

The relative strength of the US dollar in the last 15 years is due to the competitive depreciation among most of the other fiat currencies, as all the other countries have existing debt denominated in USD, so they can't allow decline in their export. That's where I think the genius of Trump's tariff policy is: the exporting countries like China will have to eat the bulk of the tariff cost due to their need to export to keep their workers employed and service existing dollar-denominated debts. Because the communist government in China can seize any factory in that country and any factory boss' bank account there at any time, it makes sense for the US government to insist on receiving at least half the net profit from each trade shipment from China to the US so that the Chinese government can not later grab more than half the net profit to fund their military . . . essentially making sure each trade shipment would pay the US government more than it would eventually pay the Chinese government.

The Yen is at 160 to the dollar - I remember back in the late 80's early 90's when it was around 80. I took a Japanese course and the instructor at one point told the class that the US needed to do something about the exchange rate. Fucking cunt.

My Italian 101 course instructor wore a miniskirt and high heels. She would bend full over to write on the classroom chalkboard. Good times. . .

AmericanKulak says

Even further, this pot of 20 billion dollars was awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Just under 7 billion dollars was sent to one entity, called "The Climate United Fund."

The money makes it to the Stacey Abraham's style NGO's then to "pass through's" like Bend the Arc and Act Blue and ultimately to the AntiFa-style activists and operatives.

This money is not only to buy votes but also to fund AntiFa operatives to riot and cause chaos to make a Republican administration look bad.

It just follows a natural cycle, when the Dems in the White House they loot the federal coffers so they are well funded to riot and protest when a Republican admin follows a Democrat administration.

Yen now about 150 to the dollar and they're forecasting more rate hikes from the BoJ.

Wait, the news is literally about Democrats stealing massive numbers of gold bars:

EPA Press Office (press@epa.gov )

WASHINGTON – Less than a month in office, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has made progress in uncovering waste and abuse at the agency. This week, he shined a light on $2 billion of the $20 billion gold bars parked by the Biden-Harris administration at an outside organization to reduce oversight set to be distributed to Stacey Abram’s Power Forward Communities. It was also revealed that major beneficiaries of the Democrats’ Green New Deal include former employers and major donors.

I’d be surprised if other presidents haven’t toured Fort Knox. I know if I was president you could not keep me away. Worlds largest gold reserve? Hell yeah I’m gonna see it. I wouldn’t plan ahead either. I’d just show up. What are they gonna do? deny me? It’s the military protecting it and I’m their boss. I get in immediately.

That is part of the cycle or revolving door. When they are out of government then they feed off the grant money that was given during the Democrat administration, as well as work at the Democrat lobbyist firms, etc.

It wasn't all stock market tips! It was NGO Board memberships and Executive positions.

Rumors have it that every new president after Johnson was visited by a deep state representative immediately after being elected or sworn into office; Johnson was involved in the assassination of JFK, so he didn't need that talk.

Reagan was nearly killed in the assassination attempt on March 30, 1981, which was barely two months after being sworn into office. The bullet fired by a family friend of the Bush's (the vice president, who would have succeeded if the POTUS died) allegedly temporarily insane over Jody Foster's role as an underage prostitute in the movie Taxi, missed Reagan's heart by less than half an inch.

There was gold in Fort Knox before the Johnson years, his war in Vietnam and "war on poverty" / "Great Society" program running up enormous deficit. After Johnson, Nixon was pushed out by the deep state due to his threat to declassify JFK assassination files ("Watergate" was to entrap him; "deepthroat" was the deputy FBI director at the time telling a controlled media agent), Ford was a member of the Warren Commission that issued the physically impossible report on the JFK assassination, Carter was a sheepish outsider, Reagan as mentioned already was nearly killed and had the former CIA man waiting as VP; Bush was the CIA man, as was Clinton; 2nd Bush was the son of the 1st Bush; Obama may not have been born in the US and his mom was CIA; Biden was a potato drafted into office to keep his son out of jail. That's the full list of presidents other than Trump since rumors of long line of trucks showing up at Fort Knox in the late 1960's, during Johnson years.

Allegation here that the gold bars in Fort Knox are mostly tungsten fakes. Apparently, this paste gold has been discovered and may be represented in holdings in many parts of the world after the usual and customary exchanges for various international purposes. The contamination extent is not known or is not admitted.

Interesting Tucker episode about gold.

https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-luke-gromen

- no one is accurately reporting large flows of gold around the world
- weird shit is going on lately with gold shipments
- the published gold reserve stats by country are bullshit
- Saudi Arabia was given a better interest rate on US Treasuries than anyone else, to encourage them to hold them
- the US wants to keep gold out of the financial system and instead have a petro-dollar, because that gives us more power
- the phrase "gold bug" is designed to discredit people who want gold-back currency
- free people can convert their money into gold, unfree people cannot
- Trump's threat of 25% tariffs on British goods may be driving people to move their gold to NYC before its price goes up
- or that might just be a cover story for the Trump administration wanting more leverage by holding more gold
- America has been using Chinese parts in the artillery shells we sent to Ukraine, because our manufacturing base has been devastated by outsourcing to China
- we got wildly outproduced by the Russians, who have better industrial capacity than we do exactly because they can't print dollars like we can
- when you have a resource like oil, the rest of your industry withers away because manufacturing is a harder way to make money
- the US is the "Saudi Arabia of money": the dollars we make caused our industry to wither away
- the US is likely to move away from the current system and towards building more factories here and using gold as money
- the enormous debts the US ran up under the system of printing and buying shit from China are also a national security risk
- so the future is likely to get a lot better for American workers as manufacturing gets pulled back to the US
- some of the hatred of Trump is from the financial sector's fear that the real economy will again become more important than their financial products
- Vance is qualified to lead the re-industrialization of the US because he saw the devastation caused by outsourcing to China
