Everyone loves gold, its fact that cannot be disproven. One place in America that supposedly holds all the gold in America is Fort Knox, Kentucky. In 1936 FDR issued an order to build the vault in Kentucky. The vault is supposed impregnable, but the truth is that no vault is impregnable and that there will always be a way to find a way into any vault. In 1933 FDR issued Executive Order 6102. This made it illegal for any Americans to horde any gold certificates, good coins, and bullion illegal. From 1933 to the 1937 the overall value of gold jumped from 4 billion dollars to 12 billion dollars. Today the fortress is guarded by the U.S. Mint Police and protected by layers of physical security; alarms, video cameras, mine fields, barbed razor wire, a bombproof roof, poison-gas booby traps, an emergency flooding system and electric fences. There are about 30000 thousand soldiers ready to destroy anybody who tries to break in. Basically you have same chance of breaking into Fort Knox as you have of trying to break into Area 51, 0% chance. Some have reason believe that there is actually no gold in Fort Knox and that the US government has sold it all to other countries. Who is to say the government wouldn't do something shady like this because they have been wiretapping our phone conversations for about 12 years. Ron Paul who recently ran for campaign for president tried to audit the Fort Knox and it actually passed the US Senate, which means that Fort Knox would have to open its doors to the American public for the first time in decades. Why all the secrecy anyways isn’t it just gold anyways? Well, the US government is very secretive in the way that it operates and the fact that until Fort Knox’s doors open to the American public we may never know what’s behind it’s doors.
