In a small step toward ensuring transparency and protecting U.S. economic stability, legislation to fully audit U.S. gold reserves was introduced in Congress last week.
H.R. 3795, titled the Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025, is sponsored by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and co-sponsored by Representatives Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Addison McDowell (R-N.C.), and Troy Nehls (R-Texas). According to a press release by Massie’s congressional office, the bill would require “the Comptroller General to conduct and publicly release a full audit of gold reserves held by the United States. The Comptroller General’s audit will include gold held in ‘deep storage’ locations such as Fort Knox, Kentucky.”
The press release continues:
The Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 further requires the Comptroller General to conduct subsequent audits of the nation’s gold reserves every five years. In addition, the Comptroller General is instructed to report on the sufficiency of measures currently in place to ensure the physical safety of the gold reserves, to provide a full accounting of encumbrances against the gold reserves, and to document any sales, purchases, disbursements, or receipts over the past 50 years that have affected the gold reserves.
In a post on X, Massie stated:
In February, President Trump said he wanted to go to Fort Knox to “make sure the gold is there.” This bill provides the full disclosure President Trump seeks.
A full audit of U.S. gold reserves — as well as of the Federal Reserve — is long overdue. In a 2015 article titled “Has the Federal Reserve Sold the Gold at Fort Knox?” The New American reported on indications that the U.S...

dims and RINOs will go through all sorts of contortions to make this wither away.

Why? What would an audit accomplish?
They may want no attention to be given to the leasing of gold (people and entities owning gold on paper but not physically owning gold) and that the fake owning of one gold bar across many hands is too much like the banks and lenders swapping mortgages like a joint at a pot party leading up to the mortgage meltdown.
The Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 will evaporate faster than an ice cube in the depths of hell.
When Musk suggested that DOGE audit Fort Knox, that suggestion disappeared from the Enemedia news reports within microseconds.
H3ll will freeze over before this is allowed. If they get this though, I want it on video. From O’Keefe or an independent journalist of like kind. If it is there, it will be a long video. But worth it. If CNN or others from the MSM get it... Y’all know. So does every other country. Trust but verify! Want independent reps from Visa, Master Card and American Express there as well. They don’t play around with irresponsible money handlers.
“Why? What would an audit accomplish?”
Why don’t you tell us why we the American people shouldn’t have an audit of OUR gold?
We are being told that we have gold reserves to back our financial value. If it is not there then someone done stole it illegally.
” If it is not there then someone done stole it illegally.”
They’ll say it was all done legally. There are some very legalistic people in New York.
No matter how they did it, if it is gone then they defrauded the public in the very least because they claim it is there.
If it is gone I’ll bet the Federal Reserve got it... Or the IMF. Or Bush, or Obama... The list is speculative...

Once again, what would an audit accomplish?
Either the gold is there or it isn’t.
What difference does that make?

lol, I’m sorry but that is the most inept thing I have read in a long time and it absolutely has to be inept on purpose.
So if you borrow money with collateral and then it turns out you lied about that collateral does it make a difference? You bet...
If it’s the government doing the audit, it won’t be correct, if it ever gets done.

If my comment was so inept, then perhaps you can explain what you’re planning if there is no collateral (gold)?
Why do you insist on remaining ignorant?
Am I debating with a female here? This hints of female logic...
To female: “The sun is up.”
Female: “Why?”
DD: Why? What would an audit accomplish?

Why not answer the question? (What will an audit accomplish?)
It’s a basic function of Congress, holding the pursestrings of government, to know how much wealth the US has on hand. Are you really this stupid? (Rhetorical)
