Fort Knox in Kentucky covers 108,026 acres and is 20.63 miles wide. Some, 7,000 acres of that is cantonment (camp) area while the remaining 101,000 acres makes up a training grounds. The installation encompasses parts of Bullitt, Hardin and Meade counties. While its sheer size and importance as an Army training ground are impressive, the real reason it is so impressive is it is said to contain about 56% of all of the gold in the U.S. and 13% of all of the gold reserves of the world.
In mid-February President Donald Trump and DOGE Director Elon Musk announced they would be going to Ft. Knox to see our gold reserve for themselves and conduct an audit. For some odd reason that never happened and Americans are left wondering why.
There have long been rumors of the gold being gone from Ft. Knox and the mainstream media likes to play along that the gold being missing is just another crazy conspiracy theory (without evidence).
“How a conspiracy theory on missing gold at Fort Knox spread to the White House” – NBC
The reason why the term “our gold” is used is because back in 1933 President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) issued Executive Order 6102 requiring all persons to deliver on or before May 1, 1933, all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve in exchange for paper currency. That paper currency was titled “Gold Certificates” backed by old, and “Silver Certificates” back by silver. Both later became the “Federal Reserve Note” currency in circulation today. Essentially, our currency money of today is backed by nothing tangible as it was years ago.
So while the mainstream (fake) news outlets like NBC like to mock conservatives like Alan Jones, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk saying (without evidence) “our gold is secure in Ft. Knox”, it only took a short time for an actual REAL journalist and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to call them out for it while exposing the blocking of an audit of Ft. Knox.
“SHOCKING: Is the Gold MISSING at Fort Knox?” – Wolves and Finance
We have referenced reports by Zach Degregorio previously. He is a brilliant and outstanding young man who knows money and the economy in the U.S. This new video he dropped over the weekend does not disappoint.
CONCLUSION:
People lie to cover their crimes. Degregorio offers multiple instances of lying in this report which means it is correct to assume actual crimes may have been committed. Degregorio asserts that former Inspector General Eric Thorson and current Secretary of the Treasury have lied about matters related to Ft. Knox.
The most shocking things Degregorio revealed in this half hour report were as follows:
- In 1933 as President Roosevelt ordered Americans to surrender their gold, 25% complied.
- The last full audit of Ft. Knox was done in 1953.
- A partial review audit of Ft. Knox was done in 1974.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says an audit is not necessary.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says an audit is done every year.
- CPA Zach Degregorio calls out Bessent for this as a lie.
- The 1953 audit only looked into 3 of the 22 vaults of Ft. Knox or 13%.
- The 1974 audit was not so much an audit as a press photo opportunity.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been employed by George Soros.
- Degregorio asserts accountants all over the country find this matter suspicious.
Degregorio’s summary statement in his report hits the nail square on the head!
“The gold in Fort Knox is not the government’s gold, it belongs to the American people. The Democrats told everyone ‘Just give all your gold to the government we’ll take care of it for you. This will help us get out of the depression. Just trust the government, guys’.
There are probably people who are still alive today who were children when they watched their parents turn in their gold. So it is extremely offensive that the government took everyone’s gold and now refuses to do an audit. That is our gold! What do you mean you refuse to do an audit!?
Once the Democrats had gotten their hands on everyone’s gold they needed somewhere to put it so they built Fort Knox in 1936.”
For a timeline reference, The Federal Reserve came to be in 1913. The U.S. government stopped printing Gold Certificates in 1933 and Silver Certificates in 1964.
President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 June 4, 1963 to authorize the Treasury to issue silver and gold certificates again. He was assassinated November 22, 1963.
And if that is not coincidental enough for you…
A popular conspiracy theory has circulated the Internet that holds the millionaire banker J.P. Morgan planned the Titanic disaster to kill off rival millionaires Jacob Astor, Isidor Straus, and Benjamin Guggenheim, who all opposed the formation of the Federal Reserve. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. The Federal Reserve was created December 23, 1913.
Google AI reports the following on those prominent pro-Federal Reserve millionaires who missed the maiden voyage of the Titanic after holding tickets for same:
“Several prominent and wealthy individuals had tickets for the Titanic’s maiden voyage but ultimately did not sail. Among them were J. Pierpont Morgan, Milton Hershey, and Henry Clay Frick. Morgan, a famous banker, missed the voyage due to business and health reasons. Hershey was called back to business in the U.S. prior, while Frick and his wife canceled their trip after she sprained her ankle.”
Given the checkered past of our monetary system and the formation of the Federal Reserve, I agree with Zach Degregorio it is time to audit the Ft. Knox gold as well as the Federal Reserve.
In his report Degregorio proves gold has gone missing from the Treasury Department in the past so it is time for some accountability RIGHT NOW!
