Fort Knox Gold | Kentucky Life | KET
The iconic James Bond movie Goldfinger included scenes of gold stored in Fort Knox’s United States Bullion Depository. Although the movie crew did shoot in the area, they didn’t gain access to the actual depository, which remains super secret and protected with ultra-high security.
Why does the United States have a gold vault? During the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt ordered gold out of circulation, and private citizens had to sell their gold to the U.S. government. A new depository was needed—preferably away East Coast cities thought to be vulnerable to attack.
The Fort Knox depository opened in 1937. Besides gold, the depository has also stored priceless documents like the Declaration of Independence and even the Magna Carta. Not all of the U.S. gold is stored here; gold is also stored at the mints in Philadelphia and Denver, at the West Point Bullion Depository, and at the San Francisco Assay Office.
The two-story building here is constructed of granite, steel, and concrete. The vault inside is made of steel and encased in concrete; the door to the vault weighs more than 20 tons.
Fort Knox historian Paul Urbahns and former vault employee Doug Simmons share captivating inside stories about the depository’s history and significance.

I would love to believe that today but I can’t! It is a building that is like no other with security but these administrations has been destroying everything the US fought so hard to gain

FDR was a scumbag for essentially stealing everyone’s gold. Thankfully lots of people didn’t listen to him and stashed theirs.
20 Trillion in today’s dollars LOL
With my luck the vault would have been filled with chicken bouillon.
The rapper camron also. Look at all the wealth they have . There hacking money
Audit the USA gold reserves
please give back the 1200 tons of gold you’re "holding" on behalf of Italy. Thanks.
Once in the UK there was supposed to be the equivalent value of Bank Notes produced ONLY to match the Gold Reserves and the British Bank Not was technically a receipt for a portion of the value of the gold. Now with quantitive easing there is more money than there is gold so the whole thing is a sham.

There is no gold there
No one has ever confiscated people’s gold, more likely the government to go, but not the gold, that’s the last thing people will give to the government, that’s their money.
Moreover all these bricks belong to the country, the people, not the government and everybody knows that!
So essentially this place is the storage of the largest theft ever carried out by the US gov’t lol
"a problem in Europe named Hitler".
Yes, he was a problem for Zionist parasite bankers and communists trying to destroy and enslave Germany like they did to Russia. FDR was a filthy thief who stole the people’s gold to bailout the Zionist Federal Reserve
Lots of blood shed mining that gold.

If you buy put options on gold and with your influence make my theory on money known provoking the gold market crash you would become rich. Being everything else the same a country with no gold is wealthier than a country with gold that protects the mineral inside a vault. Being everything else the same imagine a country with a baker, a fishmonger and a singer with no gold and another with a baker, a fishmonger and a guard to protect gold inside a vault. Which one lives better? Which one is wealthier? The country with no gold is wealthier because the baker and fishmonger get entertained by the singer for their money but the country with gold have to work to pay the guard to protect a mineral that offers no wellbeing or wealth because is useless inside a vault. An analogy would be an innocent kid after saving his pocket money buys a bicycle and his father tells him that he can store the bicycle in a garage unused to sell it in the future, but the rent of the garage would cost him some of his pocket money or he can use and enjoy the bicycle. Which option would the kid choose? There is not benefit in buying to sell because no value is added. Do you understand? The gold becomes wealth when is used, sparing the cost of protection. Because gold is increasingly more expensive to dig out as there is less underground and is increasingly cheaper as there is more on offer overground there would be a point when nobody would be mining the mineral. How much cost the taxpayers to protect gold? Cryptocurrencies are a number but money is transferable debt, a number and a name. Who would sell last?
B2?
No this nigga did not say nine one one🤣😭😭
"You can’t take a picture of it" – well why even bother if you can see it from all angles including from above on Google Maps
