Still no link to any credible source, other than the name of some book written by one of the conspiracy nuts... Imagine my surprise....
Fort Knox gold all there Posted on June 24, 2011 by Dave Harper
The accountants said there is no missing U.S. government gold and no gold that has been pledged or encumbered at a hearing yesterday before Rep. Ron Paul and his House of Representatives Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology Subcommittee.
The U.S. Mint has custody of 95 percent of the nation’s gold stockpile. It consists of 699,515 gold bars weighing 27 pounds with finenesses ranging between .470 and .999, with the overall average of .9006, as one would expect of gold bars that in the main were created by melting recalled .900 fine U.S. gold coins in the 1930s.
Eric M. Thorson, inspector general of the Department of the Treasury testified.
“100 percent of the U.S. government’s gold reserve in the custody of the Mint has been inventoried and audited,” he said.
He stated “security is absolute” and said it is even tighter than he had experienced in the Air Force with nuclear weapons.
He said he had observed the gold and security himself.

Is Fort Knox secretly empty? Did Glenn Beck—or perhaps aliens—move the gold to an even more secure location? Yes, it's time for another installment of Conspiracy Watch, our ongoing collection of wonderfully weird (and totally whack) conspiracy theories.
MEANWHILE, BACK ON EARTH: Mint spokesman Michael White says the Treasury conducts a "comprehensive audit" of Ft. Knox annually, and the gold's all there—you'll just have to take its word for it. And Ron Paul's plan to open the Fed's books might not penetrate the vault: The US Mint and the Federal Reserve say that Ft. Knox is not even part of the Fed.
Wow... Another wacko conspiracy-theory from the folks that brought you the fake Kenyan birth-certificate...
Do you realize what you have posted? This story says that the Department of the Treasury says that its accountants say that the gold is there. The story does not say that outside auditors have seen the gold.
Can you not see that this confirms that an independent, outside, respectable audit has not been done on the vaults of Fort Knox? Please tell us that you are not stupid enough to believe that the Treasury Department saying that the Treasury Department is not lying is a valid argument.
In addition to my above post, I must add that the most credible sources are not found on the internet. They are printed on paper and bound. You have not read the source that I have given and you would most probably argue with my library, which would lead me to believe that you are illiterate.
Did you read the source that you posted? It says that the Treasury Department says that the Treasury Department has audited itself and has found that it is not lying about the gold in Fort Know. Imagine that! Imagine my surprise! Do you really believe that you have debunked anything? Do you really trust anything that government might tell you? Are you that naïve?
