Fort Knox

Fort Knox Kentucky is where all of the gold, that used to back our U.S. currency is held. You know all that paper stuff that is "Legal Tender for all Debts Public and Private". We've all heard theories that Fort Knox doesn't really have any gold. The feds don't seem to be all that willing to submit to an audit, so who really knows what is hid there. Or, maybe they hid it somewhere else for our safe keeping, After all, we-all, all-of-us, actually own the gold. It belongs to The United States Government. As all of us know, who has ever been past the eighth grade, the U.S. government is us. (Small "us") Government by the people, for the people, and of the people. But you already know all that stuff. So we own our gold, and I want to see it!

I've heard that Ron Paul shares my sense of ownership of the gold. It was his Idea that we should have an audit of the Gold. He is a U.S. Congressman, and he doesn't know if their gold is there, or if it's real gold, or even if it is somewhere else. He's a fairly intelligent and educated man. He is a Medical Doctor. I understand that you have to be pretty smart to get an M.D. behind your name. But, he seems to be a little nervous about his party. It seems when he runs as a libertarian that he never wins, when he runs as a Republican, he wins handily. To me it seems like a republican is as far from a libertarian as it can get. But I know that the Dems don't like him because every time that I Google him I get a Rachel Maddow computer virus.

Anyway, when my cousin "Oregon" and I were little kids, we would counterfeit dimes. We would take a penny and grind the sides and edges off until it was about the size of a dime. You could buy a Coke out of a Coke machine for a dime back then. So, we would spend an hour or two grinding a penny off on the grinder, then head down town to try it in the Coke machine. Usually it wouldn't work. The machine would eat our "coin". Then, back home we would go to grind another "coin". About 1 in 4 worked because we were damn good counterfeiters. If we were lucky enough to get a coke out of the machine, we would have to share it, because we never knew when we might get lucky again. We would take the coke home, get two glasses of the same size out of the cupboard, carefully measure out equal amounts. Then we would go outside sit on the edge of the front deck, dangle our legs over the edge, wrap our poor bloody ground off and bruised fingers around our glasses, click them together, proclaim "Crime Pays", and swallow the mouthful of Coke we got out of it. Now, the moral of this story, is that we NEVER got caught. We were too sneaky evil and devious to ever get caught. The good part is that we left our mark in the machine. I can just see the Coke man when he shook out his can of loot when cleaned out the coin box. Can you imagine his face when he saw our "coins" in the other loot? (Snicker)
That's how I know that those awful bastards at Fort Knox have evilly plundered our gold. They won't even show it to us. Even if we forced them to show us, how could we know for sure that it was gold? I know that my cousin and I would have cleverly made counterfeit gold bullion out of some other phony metals. But after looking at how much things weigh, the only thing that I could fake gold with would be platinum, then gold plate it. Isn't platinum more valuable than gold? I think I know why they won't just show us.

I printed out the chart below, if an amount of water equaled 1,000 the same volume of gold would weigh 19, 320. It's just too heavy to fake.

Anyway, what do you think that the chances of the gold still being in fort Knox Kentucky if they won't even show a Congressman??? Now I'm just not going to sleep nights until I figure out what they did with that gold. My cousin and I could have made a lot of "Coke Coins" with that much gold....
