The Great American Disaster: How Much Gold Remains In Fort Knox? by Chris Weber

I've heard some claim that gold could go as high a $20,000 oz after the collapse of the US.

You can't eat gold my friend.

But I will gladly sell you some eggs, veggies, milk and meat for some of your gold coins

Heh, I've already lined up my non-gmo bulk seeds my friend. In the end a sack of gold won't buy a loaf of bread. Water, seeds and bullets will be a survivors best friends.

This is now going to be the defense for DSK... he was set up because he discovered that the U.S. has no gold.

"Faith based currency" is as unreliable as "faith based" anything else that government is supposed to do.

The United States is a financial house of cards. Shame on the multitude of politicians who claim to have served our country.

Exactly! How many years has our government kept Ft. Knox open to perpetrate a fraud on the American people?

You mean like this guy?



I guess he was able to pull off Operation Grand Slam in the absence of Bond being there to stop him. Although somehow I remember the gold going to SMERSH in the book and China in the movie....

Federal Reserve Admits: We Have No Gold !
I didn't suspect they had no gold. When the nation went off the gold standard there was no reason to have precious metal to back the money. In fact, anyone who had to be told didn't know his butt from page 9 in the first place.

Only fools thought they had gold. The last six months of printing as fast as the presses could print made it very obvious that they were putting us in the hole deeper and deeper.
