[quote:LadyLeo:MV8xNTI4OTA1XzI1MjM0ODEzX0ZDNENBMDg2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1407435] Ron Paul is asking for PROOF that there is gold in Fort Knox. He already knows the answer, but the public doesn't, so he asks the question. From the internet book: If You Care to Know the Truth, author Eric Rainbolt (snippets) ...At the end of WW II, Fort Knox contained over 700 million ounces of the gold, an incredible 70% of all gold in the world. How much remains? ... Despite the fact that federal law requires an annual physical audit of Fort Knox gold, the treasury has consistently refused to conduct one. The truth is, a reliable audit of whatever remains in the depository has not been conducted since president Eisenhower ordered one in 1953. <...> Finally by 1971, all the pure gold has been secretly removed from Fort Knox and drained back to London. Once the gold was gone from Fort Knox, president Nixon closed the gold window...This gold belonged to the American people, not the Federal Reserve and their foreign owners. <...> What Reagan's gold commission reported back to congress in 1982 was the following shocking revelation concerning gold. The US treasury owned no gold at all! All the gold that was left in Fort Knox was now owned by the Federal Reserve, a group of private bankers, as collateral against the national debt. ... <...> For those of you still in disbelief after checking out all the facts above: in August of 2003 I caught our most honest Congressman, Representative RON PAUL of Texas, on film after I asked him a question directly eye to eye. I asked him if this deceptive conquest for world government was true. He confirmed it, claiming there were roughly 25,000 people working on developing the international bankers' "New World Order"! He stated they are actively conspiring in our congresses, our universities, and in the media. Please view the 2 minute downloadable video clip for yourself on http://www.911exposed.com. Once again, We the People are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master for another. ~Tom Tancredo~ http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/bankruptcy.html . [/quote] OK the thing I don't understand is FED LAWYER ALVAREZ: “THE FEDERAL RESERVE DOES NOT OWN ANY GOLD AT ALL” http://goldnews.com/2011/06/02/fed-lawyer-alvarez-the-federal-reserve-does-not-own-any-gold-at-all/ And I wonder just like RP does if the Gold that's in the vault is real? We are supposed to have Gold in there. [/quote]

Are the gold bars in Fort Knox really made of the precious metal? Or has the U.S. government secretly sold off the nation's stockpile and replaced it with metal bars that are only painted gold?
Ron Paul wants to find out.
Giving legitimacy to an Internet conspiracy theory that the gold in Fort Knox is fake, the iconoclast Republican congressman from Texas has asked adminstration officials to audit the purity of the nation's 700,000 gold bars held in Fort Knox, according to an internal Treasury document obtained by CNBC. Paul, a presidential candidate who chairs the House's subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, had previously called for the U.S. gold reserve to be counted and for a return to the gold standard. He now appears to be going a step further in his request that representatives from the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Mint testify at a subcommittee hearing on June 23 about the authenticity of the nation's gold.
