300,000 Tons of Gold and other treasures
Hey I am not saying there was never gold.
Yes there was plenty of gold.
US government also took gold from citizens and melted into bars. That too added to gold holdings.
But that was ancient history buddy.
There is

GATA seeks audit of MYTHICAL, Fort Knox gold
As many know, the (supposed) hoard of U.S. gold at Fort Knox has not been independently audited for over fifty years. It goes without saying that if the U.S. actually has the gold it claims to have there could be no possible reason for preventing independent verification.

The Mystery of Ft. Knox. What Do They Have to Hide?
At every turn when the government was asked to provide proof of either the amount of gold they have left, or the quality of it, they have answered with lies and evasions. They have been acting like they have something to hide.
In a few months we'll "celebrate" the 40th anniversary of the day when the US Government declared bankruptcy. Oh, they didn't call it that at the time. But what happened on August 15, 1971 was that the US defaulted on its promise to pay gold for dollars. It is now clear that they didn't have very much gold left to pay.
