My guess is that there are many echoes to be had in there. Where's the gold gold gold gold...
|
|
It's all under Wall St. Don't you remember that Bruce Willis documentary and all of it being loaded up with a bobcat?
|
|
I'm going with emptied of all gold, filled with paper slips of IOUs.
ETA: Beat by 3 seconds. |

Empty. Ze Germans tried to audit the gold they bought from the .gov (NY, I think), and were told NEIN!
|
|
No gold for sure. But probably at least a million in the security system they have going for that building.
|
|
They had to get rid of the gold to make room for Obama's dope, coke, and pot stash. |
|
|
|
It's full.....for now.
It won't' be when the Chinese start to demand that their "investment" in our debt be paid back to them. |
|
BOTH
They've sold all the gold but it remains in the vault, however the gold has been sold/resold so many times it's impossible to tell who really owns it at the moment. |
|
Unfortunately it's headed that way....... |

I'm not sure whats in there but I do remember seeing MP's on foot patrolling the perimeter was well as humvees with M-60's mounted on top. That was in 1999 when I was last at Ft Knox.
I saw a documentary some years back about Ft Knox. Every year they used to have all the star high school football players from the surrounding counties come out and help move the gold out of the vault for their yearly accountability. Then one year they stopped doing it and told the community leaders to quit bringing the subject up. Odd I'd say. |

Fort Knox: Secrets Revealed is on History Channel now.
Showing some badass Abrams right now.
|

My guess is that it has been moved to a secured undisclosed location.
What is the best way to keep something safe? Put it where no one knows to look for it.

I have been told that there is gold there, but it doesn't belong to Uncle Sam. .ORGs pay the Uncle Sam to store it there.

Full of gold but it's no longer relevant. There is too much cash printed by all the countries for all the currencies to be backed by gold. Nobody can "cash in" anymore. Money is simply worth what we say it is.

I'm guessing, if they couldn't keep their grubby little paws off of our Social Security fund,
they didn't keep their paws off the gold. It's probably leveraged a thousand times. |
|
Supposedly, there is 4,578 metric tons in Ft. Knox and 7,000 metric tons in NY.
That's roughly 150 million troy ounces in Ft. Knox. Call it $1300 per oz is what 195 Billion dollars? (somebody check my math. adding and subtracting hurts my head) In today's world that's chump change. |

Gold or to Gold, why would we hive a shit when sitting on tens of trillions in natural resources?
2,431 trillion cubic feet of wet NG and 223 Billion barrels or oil |
|
Ft. Knox for gold I get.
Why in the world would you store gold ni NYC though? That city is #1 if not #2 on every terrorist or countries "nuke 'em" list that exists. |

I saw this documentary quite a few years back, called Die Hard: With a Vengeance; in the documentary this guy stole gold from the Federal Reserve in NYC. This cop named John McClane stopped him but the boat with the gold blew up (if it was there in the first place), so I'm sure they transferred some of the gold the Federal Reserve there to make up for what was lost.

Re-hypothicated as in loaned out. Subsequently melted down and sold to China by the borrowers. The borrowers are not gooing to be able to get the gold back. It's gone. But we have plenty of gold loan contracts we can count as assets. |

Both are only worth what people think its worth Both are worth, at the LEAST, what it took to create them. How many man-hours of labor and how much energy, at the MOST, is in a $20 bill? How many man-hours of labor and how much energy, at the least, is in an Ounce of gold? Which, when reduced to its lowest value, will NOT go to zero? (hint, history shows paper money comes and goes, but gold has been used forever ) But that's why your $20 won't buy you an ounce of gold LIKE IT SHOULD. Because you've been fooled. Again. |
