And we didn't actually go to the moon.  It was all done in a TV studio.  The shadows prove it.*

Has anybody actually seen that alleged gold in the past 20 years?

I heard on the news last night that a few congress members have asked and been denied a tour. (or words to that effect)

I believe there is gold in Fort Knox.  I believe there is not enough gold in Fort Knox, or that the amount that represents the amount of each dollar of currency is less than it used to be.

There ain't enough gold on earth to cover the US dollars in circulation.

Yeah, I caught the code thing. I just hope I can remember it when the "Aw, jeez, not that shit again" hits.

Oh, and bitchslapped for awarding me a h5.

I did nothing special, but I likely pissed somebody off, so that's probably worthy of a bitchslap.

It doesn't matter one way or the other.  What does piss me off is the way all the Doomsday freaks (From 2012 geeksw to financial collapse tweakers) have speculated silver into twice what it cost two years ago, and since I cast sterling silver, this is seriously annoying.  Frankly I'm hoping the price of it crashes like the ****in' Hindenburg and burns every mofo that has driven the price up to its current insane level.

That's pretty much how I figured everyone would respond. We are off the gold standard anyway, nothing backing the Fed's fiat but thin air.

Beck was talking about this last night so I thought I'd throw it out there. I think the gold is probably still there but I do think it is odd that there hasn't ever been an actual audit and every congressional inquiry has been basically stonewalled. Sort of makes the whole idea a bit shady, like the birth certificate, so I guess we are supposed to just be good little citizens and believe because somebody says it is so.
