I am all in favor of auditing everything but it takes a special kind of stupid to call for an audit that could literally kill the western financial system if not the entire civilization before we have had a chance to complete all the other audits. Rands “Principles” are extraordinarily expensive. Good lord Rand, we are in the best possible place to get what you say you want, give it a minute or you are going to lock in all the fraud for eternity.
One thing about Musk, he asked common sense questions, what anyone would ask: Surely it is reviewed at least once a year? It is not, evidently, because that would require accounting entries. And accounting entries make it harder to steal.
LOL!
Audit the
Federal Reserve,
Fort Knox,
Every government department,
Every member of the House and Senate,
Any NGOs that take money from the government.
Did I forget anyone?
That gold belongs to the American people and over 50 years without a “comprehensive” and assayed audit (which delta7 mentioned) is crazy
You got to suspect the rumors are true.
We had 8,000+ tons of Gold there, not sure where Rand Pauls numbers came from?
I’d be surprised if even half of it is still there.
Check Bob Menendez’ pockets.
In 2013 Germany tried to repatriate 300 tons of gold held by the Federal Reserve. It took 3 years for the Federal Reserve to scrape together what they could and Wikipedia tries to co-mingle the American repatriations with the French repatriations so one can’t really tell how short the American ended up. The Germans wanted about 674 tons from the two countries, they ended up with only about 535 tons.
I’m opposed to an audit, however, as I suspect the dollar couldn’t withstand an audit of the gold and of the Federal Reserve.
OR THE CLINTONS
I am just trying to figure out what the end game is here—if as we suspect some or all of the gold is gone.
If someone can explain that I am fine with it.
IT WILL WITH TRUMP & MUSK
SAUDI ARABIA
People get Arkancided for this kind of stuff.
I’m all for an audit but we could be opening a Pandora’s Box.
Nice post thanks for that “context”.
Yes I remember them hearing about them taking years to deliver it
Also, I’m reminded of the World Gold Council long-standing campaign where they suggest the price of gold has been suppressed for years from its true value.
Have you heard that one?
I’ve long taken the position that you don’t own gold (or silver) unless you can touch it. If you own a piece of paper that says you own gold, you own a piece of paper.
>>Same rumors go around every couple decades, and there’s a big ‘visit’ by some functionary, and it’s still sitting there, doing nothing.
That happened in the mid-1970s. They audited the gold. It was there.
I know. I was there. I moved that gold in 1977.
Jimmy Carter’s Treasury Secretary came through later that year for a photo op with the gold. He stood in one of the vaults we had move the gold into, inventorying it along the way.
Take a few gallons of aqua regia with you.
Know what? You might be right...
