I have only a sketchy recollection of someone posting or commenting on a gold scandal at the NY fed. It seemed so incredible that tons of gold could go missing I refused to give it any further thought . . . until now.
The same thing happened years ago when there were calls to physically inspect Fort Knox to see if the gold was there.
After immense pressure and extreme reluctance on the part of Knox to show the owners (that’s us) OUR gold, Congress finally sent a delegation for what was, in essence, a photo op.
ONE vault door was opened, to show gold bar piled from floor to sealing.
No other doors were opened. The congress critters got their pictures taken standing beside the gold, and left—no further questions, no examination of any of the other vaults, no weighing of the gold—just photos.
And the MSM let the subject drop.
(And THAT, more than anything else, made me suspicious that there really was something missing from Fort Knox...)
