Here is your thread to: talk about ancient aliens mining Earth for gold and enslaving humans to do so; talk about Brad Meltzer and the conspiracy theory that Fort Knox is empty (at least of gold); talk about the intrinsic values of gold (IIRC, it's a great conductor?); talk about why other things of worth should or should not be tied to gold. Have fun! |

I have previously posted this, but here is a thought. On the subject of gold, man expends vast resources on extracting, and refining gold from the earth so we can secrete in in vaults underground and there it sits. Very rational. |

It is hard for me to understand man's irrational attraction to gold, but I acknowledge the truth of it. If it were established that say 20% of the moon's surface contained high grade gold ore or nuggets people would be falling over each other to either build their own rockets or clamoring for Boeing to get them there. Even if they were told that gold isn't valuable enough to make mining it on the moon profitable. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

"The crash which began in 2007 and endures still was the result of an abdication of responsibility across the financial sector". Yep, very interesting reading! |

The scare of after WWII made huge impact on most nations so as a distant continent emerging giant the america had a chance to hold most gold reserve of most countries. I still wonder whether Fort Knox is still the largest gold reserve in the world. Because the warehouse protected by 1200 ICBMs nukes is kind of secure proving ground for most banks. Plus B-2 bombers and F-22 fighters... Mandtugai! |

It's out in the open and is quite literaly there for the taking. Armored division and training facility be damned that's not a very secure site. IIRC most of the Gold is secured in NYC In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

There is no gold in Fort Knox. How much has been 'so called' sold? Who owns what? What a country does when it sells, like yours, 400 tones of it at a time is drive the price of it down. How many times has that been done? How many times has the USA done that? You will soon find that more gold has been sold then refined. |

There is no gold in Fort Knox. And you didn't answer mine! Who owns it?!? Your country sells it to us, left pocket! We sell it back to you, right pocket! You sell it to China...etc, etc.... It just destroys the price of gold and the worth of the pound/dollar. Ponzi scheme, largest one in human history. Mr. Ponzi himself... |

Who owns the gold? Basic and simple question. Who owns the money in your bank account? You or the Bank? |

Who owns the gold? Basic and simple question. I draw worthless paper. I cannot, at the bank, exchange one dollar for a dollars worth of gold. Do you understand the concept of Ponzi? Who owns the gold? |
