John Hamilton - Fort Knox Has Never Been Audited

Friday, February 21, 2025 11:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Makow- Given their record, my guess is Fort Knox is empty. 2/3 of my Twitter Poll agreed.

John Hamilton- “Was jolted into some writing action this morning

when NPR put out a boldface lie, and with a smirk. Stuck in my craw.”

by John Hamilton

(henrymakow.com)

Just this morning, in a mocking tone, NPR said that Elon Musk “wants to audit the Fed and Fort Knox.

Both are audited annually.”

Tone: Smirk, smirk.

Fact check executive summary: not true.

Fort Knox, which houses the United States Bullion Depository, is not audited annually in the way that a typical financial institution or business might be. However, here are the facts:

1. The Most Notable Audit (1953)

The last full audit of the gold reserves at Fort Knox occurred in 1953, shortly after President Dwight D. Eisenhower took office.

This audit involved a physical inspection of only a small percentage of the gold, rather than a complete inventory check.

2. 1974 Inspection

In response to growing public speculation and conspiracy theories about whether the gold was actually there, a delegation of journalists, politicians, and government officials was allowed inside Fort Knox for the first time in decades. They reported seeing large amounts of gold, but this was not a full, official audit.

3. The 2017 Treasury Inspection

The U.S. Treasury Secretary at the time, Steven Mnuchin, along with other officials, visited Fort Knox.

Mnuchin tweeted, “Glad gold is safe!”–but this was more of a symbolic visit rather than a full-scale audit.

4. Ongoing Internal Checks

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Mint conduct periodic inspections and verifications of gold reserves at Fort Knox.

These inspections involve weighing, assaying, and verifying a sample of the gold bars.

However, these are not full annual audits, and most of the gold has not been reassessed in decades.

5. Calls for a Full Audit

Some lawmakers and financial experts have called for a comprehensive audit of the gold reserves at Fort Knox.

Critics argue that there should be more transparency regarding the U.S. gold reserves, but so far, no large-scale audit has been ordered.

Conclusion

While Fort Knox undergoes internal verifications, it does not receive a full, independent audit every year. The most recent large-scale checks have been limited in scope, and the last full audit of its contents was in 1953.

NPR is a propagandist for leftist lies.

US Marine Fighting Tyranny

My Fellow Americans:

The above “Inspections” are correct, but Makow forgot one of the so called “Annual Inspections”.

Every year, the Gold at Fort Knox is “Inspected”!!!

They do this by opening a little ledger book,… looking at the written entries, and then say,.. Ok!,… according to this LEDGER,.. all the Gold is here!!! … TAA-DAAAAaaaaa!!!!! (YEAAAAA!!!,.. Crowd cheering in the background!…)

That’s it,.. they do NOT actually go look at physical inventory,…

GEE!… What could go wrong there!!???

JD – US Marine: I Use To Cover This Topic When I Did Radio On Liberty Tree Radio, And The Best I Could Determine Was That The Gold Was Sent To England In The 1930′s,… And Then Some Of It Sent Back In The 40′s… TO THE PRIVATE BANKING MAFIA CALLED THE FEDERAL RESERVE,… NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!
