2 Face value or intrinsic value?

3 /\ "Audit of Fort Knox."

Practically speaking, if you were massively in debt with more debt accumulating each year, would you be hoarding a valuable coin collection worth millions hoping to one day win the lottery and pay off your debt ?

No, me neither. The gold is long gone.

Well we should still ask the usual 4WH questions.
Just so we can 🤑 jokingly 🤑 ask the usual, never answer question.

Who(m) was involved?
What was stolen/taken, or lied about ever having?
When was it started or done?
Where was it used or taken?
How Much remains and/or stolen?

That are never answered in any legal manner whenever the DC Swamp or Elite are involved.

5 Local currencies have always been legal. Austin used to have Dillo Dollars which let businesses buy from each other while still paying taxes in Federal Reserve Notes.

6 The intrepid Senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul, visited Ft. Knox very recently, and evidently after several minutes, he stated that the gold was all there.

Several minutes to inspect Fort Knox that holds 147.3+/- million troy ounces of gold bullion?

Heck it could have been Gold plated Lead Bars?

Plus Fort Knox only stores about 60% of all US Gold.

At $10.4 Trillion in value we are $30Trillion short even IF it is there.

8 Seeing is indeed believing. I've not seen any Fort Knox gold lately (movie, documentary, video), nor have I seen an official inspection or visit report or inventory that confirms it's presence.

So you've been squirrel hunting this morning and you bagged 27 squirrels. I once lived in Missouri, please "show me."

9 Remember when that neighbor beat the shit out of Ron Paul and hospitalized him?
Good times, good times.

10 I think the rest of the gold is at West Point and the New York Fed.
