It would be an easily discernible ruse, if the US were "to audit" Fort Knox on the eve of a new "golden" treasury. There is no gold. Alisdair Macleod demonstrated that the US sold its gold to China. America is a sell-out nation.
Macleod's article, "China's Gold Strategy," will be counted among the 21st century's most important contributions to the study of the precious metal in the history of mankind.
He demonstrated that during the third period of its decline America (1991-2001/2008) sold its gold to China. Alongside rampant financialization following de-industrialization, America sold its gold while its productivity dropped immensely across the board.
It caused the American DIB, which is larger than the next preceding 20 countries combined, to enter into a period of increasingly widening corruption to such a point that not only did the Pentagon failed audits year over year but a $15.42 part is billed at a 177,000% premium.
Americans are simply unaware of the crisis that awaits the country. These statistics are merely a glimpse. A situation where a $15.42 part is billed at a 177,000% cannot be an isolated issue but a reflection of an incorrigible crisis.
In the face of an incorrigible crisis, Americans must dry a line in the sand. Either Americans will join the reaction to further the speculative mania responsible for the crisis or else stake a claim for change, unifying with the working class. There is no other way out.
