Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.

The demand comes as concerns grow over whether the 4,580 tons of U.S. gold supposedly stored in Fort Knox still exist or if bureaucrats and the Federal Reserve have been engaging in financial sleight-of-hand behind closed doors.

The call for transparency gained momentum when conservative news outlet Zero Hedge sparked debate on X, posting:

“It would be great if @elonmusk could take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there. Last time anyone looked was 50 years ago in 1974.”

Musk quickly responded:

“Surely it’s reviewed at least every year?”

Most Americans realize that the federal government is drowning in debt and that inflation is out of control.  But very few Americans can coherently explain where money comes from or how our financial system actually works.  For decades, bankers that we do not elect have controlled America’s currency, have run our economy into the ground, and have driven the U.S. government to the brink of bankruptcy.  The Federal Reserve is an institution that was designed to drain wealth from U.S. taxpayers and transfer it to the global elite.  Have you ever wondered why a sovereign nation such as the United States has to borrow United States dollars from anyone?  Have you ever wondered why a sovereign nation such as the United States does not even issue its own currency?  Have you ever wondered why we allow a group of unelected private bankers to run our economy?

Those are some very important questions.  Hopefully what you are about to read will open the eyes of many.  The truth is that our financial system is centrally-controlled and centrally-managed by a group of banking oligarchs who oversee a constantly expanding debt spiral which could come crashing down at any time.  If the American people truly understood how our system works, they would be protesting in the streets right now.  The following are 11 reasons why the Federal Reserve is bad…

126 countries have met at BRICS‘ VI International Municipal Forum (IMF) in Moscow August 27-28 to discuss numerous topics including the abandonment of international trade in the U.S. fiat debt-backed dollar in favor of a BRICS commodity-backed currency.

BRICS is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – the founding member states of the intergovernmental organization. Since its inception in 2009 numerous other member states have joined.

This is beyond important! In the globalist attempt to stop this from happening, they are forcing the world to leave the dollar. https://t.co/TqqLXi84tv

Do people want central bank digital currencies, better known as CBDCs? Countries that have experimented with or launched digital versions of their respective currencies have witnessed little fanfare for these endeavors. Put simply, they are not appealing to the general public. Yet governments are still foisting them onto their populations, perhaps because they might be the greatest surveillance tool known to man.

NaturalNews.com

It will not be much longer before BRICS fully de-dollarizes its membership ranks, and eventually the entire world.

At a meeting this week in Russia, BRICS announced that it has reached the “final stages” of its dedollarization mission, complete with a new payment system and new competing currency to the global reserve Federal Reserve Note (FRN), also known as the U.S. dollar.

  What if every war fought in the last century was just a means to install central banks into countries that didn't want them? If you look at a list of all the nations the US has toppled since 9/11, it's every nation that was not connected to a central bank under international control. It's not a coincidence, and any time a nation attempts to back their currency with something like gold or silver, their leaders mysteriously get assassinated or some other disaster happens that upends the government so it can be coup'd.

Resources exist that are said to be the property of society as a whole, things like water and air. Money should be one of those community resources.

Money is required to create and maintain a healthy, prosperous economy. Money should not be a privatized resource any more than water or air should be. One of the main reasons we establish government in the first place is we all need a way to protect the common resources from exploitation by selfish individuals. One of the most important duties of government is to provide a sound (honest) monetary system for the benefit of all not just a greedy few.

Last week I covered the fraud of "fractional reserve banking," the nifty little rule that bankers made up that allows them to claim they have SUBSTANTIALLY more money than they have. For example, if a banker has a million dollars in customer deposits, he gets to say he has ten million dollars. A banker can create nine extra million dollars just by making journal entries. Bankers do nothing to earn that nine million. They just say they have it and we allow them to get away with it. For those of you who missed last week's article, you can read it here.
