regarding 'tight security ' i give you two words Jeffrey EpsteinI don't think DOGE is relevant here. If Fort Knox and other storage facilities have been looted, the US government worked it out decades ago. I didn't bother discussing it in my previous post but you brought up some of the very very obvious motives for the US government keeping it secret. They would be insane to reveal the truth to the public on that one. I prefer transparency but even I would not want that story being made public. Sure, if it happened in China, by all means expose it as far as I'm concerned, but when the USA has been the primary force keeping the world safe since 1945 and without them I'd have been killed by Indonesians as a kid, and the world would be run by one or a small number of genocidal dictatorships (and everyone would look at history and learn about how the Germans and Japanese did a wonderful job of defeating the evil, ignorant Americans and British and all those terrible, inferior Jews and blacks and south east Asians etc were removed from our planet).
So, as terrible as the USA is, most of us owe our existence and all of us owe our way of lives to them, because evil as they may be and as much as we should try to force them to improve, they are the far lesser evil holding back tremendously greater evil which would still love very much to exterminate us, and I don't wish to see them fall.
Today, with modern surveillance technology and equipment which can assess gold bars without cutting them up or melting them down, looting gold from places like Fort Knox would be far more difficult and detection far easier, but the looting was probably done before I was born and it was likely discovered before I knew who the president of the USA was. I'd love to know the true story, but in a way, I'm glad I never will.

regarding the gold many anomalies could exist , gold not as pure as it should be , gold bars allotted to multiple people/companies , gold from illegal sources , large numbers of bars not actually in Fort Knox.. security is only as good as those trying to bypass it ( what if insiders ARE the problem )
there are several ways of testing the gold ( with modern tech ) some only the suspect ones would need in-depth analysis
This is all becoming very complicated, overly so. Gold has been hoarded and stolen for millennia. Men have cheated, murdered, sold their kin, and committed many other misdeeds, all in the pursuit of Gold. Is anything really different today?
So what if Gold has been stolen from Fort Knox. That is a problem for the US Treasury and the $USD.
The more I think about it in fact, the more I hope it has been stolen. Gold can only increase more in value if the whereabouts of a large supply source has all of a sudden become unknown.

I am not completely confident of my source at the pub, but he tells me that years ago the chinese started boring through the earth, ostensibly for scientific purposes, but in reality they planned to bore all the way through to Fort Knox and steal the gold.I thought it went without saying that it would boost the price of gold if it was ever discovered.
I think it's fair to say that even if Fort Knox was never looted, other significant gold stores have been and for similar reasons it has been kept secret. There are plenty of vaults and warehouses full of gold around the world, obviously some have been looted in a big world with so many, we just don't know which ones or how many.
But Fort Knox specifically? Sure, it would boost your gold's value, but that story going public would harm your life more than help it. We're currently in the most significant cold war in history, and we can't afford the USA to lose.
I decided to add to my holdings about 2-3 weeks ago and waited for a small retracement day when the AUD/USD was in my favour ( don't ask me which way it goes, I use fingers and TIME when buying )It seems that if you're waiting for a decent correction to add to this story (like me) then you're missing out.
When was the last time there were eight down days that were immediately bought up?
Good evening qldfrogAnd to be clear: when i discussed the US gold being looted: not a big heist style, just the gov or feds selling/loaning it , and if any fake gold: moving fake /gold plated lead bars instead
The LBMA discussion is a must listen: https://www.lbma.org.uk/articles/gold-market-dynamicsAccording to a London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) expert paneldiscussion to clarify and explain the current London dynamics and dysfunction, approximately 1/2 of the gold imported into NY vaults since early December has come from London.
The net signal then is that 9M oz. of London gold delivery demand over a 2 month period has distressed the London cash gold market.
I pity these people trying to keep something separate from the Chinese government. They risk being criminalised one day unless they relinquish it to the CCP for a rip-off cash rate.

This is absolutely crazy. Right now, there might not be any other asset in the world that's being snapped up like gold—by central banks, global investors, businesses, and regular people all at the same time. And the key here is, they’re all going after physical gold. This could be the biggest scramble for real gold we've ever seen. And with this frenzy, global gold prices just keep climbing, hitting new record highs almost every day.

It does seem strange that a gold audit hasn’t been done since the 1950’s… And why can’t our politicians visit the gold, anyway?As a U.S. senator I’ve tried repeatedly to get into Fort Knox
Fort Knox: “You can’t come to Fort Knox.”
Me: “Why?”
Fort Knox: “It’s a military installation.”
Me: “I’m a senator; I go to military bases all the time.”
Fort Knox: “You still can’t come. Because, you can’t.”
Jim also has an elegant explanation for why they haven’t done any gold audits since the 1950’s. He says it’s because the government wants to downplay the importance of gold. Why audit something so unimportant? They want the dollar to be center-stage.Attorney and investment banker James Rickards told Newsweek that an audit would “help restore the confidence of U.S. citizens in government representations,” but that there was “no reason to doubt that the U.S. has exactly the amount of gold that it represents, about 8,133 metric tons.”
“That’s a can of worms that only a few experts understand and the government has definitely not wanted to acknowledge. DOGE may open the can of worms,” he continued.[Jim Rickards] said an interesting revelation could be how much of the U.S. gold is leased—i.e., given to borrowers in exchange for fees, which Rickards described as “a way to inject more gold into the banking system than actually exists in physical form.”
Ha Ha, trust the Yanks to convert a basic form of value in to a fractional banking ponzi scheme!.More on Ft. Knox:

However, we’re not out of the woods yet. Mr. Rickards says the government may have leased out too much of its gold. More from Newsweek:
“That’s a can of worms that only a few experts understand and the government has definitely not wanted to acknowledge. DOGE may open the can of worms,” he continued.
I truly hope it’s all there and unencumbered. Our nation’s monetary future may depend on it.
