​Whistleblower Claims U.S. Military Secretly Moved $350 Billion in Gold From Fort Knox

A whistleblower has made explosive claims that the U.S. military has secretly moved up to 80% of the gold stored at Fort Knox, worth approximately $350 billion, to undisclosed, top-secret locations. This covert transfer was allegedly carried out to protect the nation’s gold reserves from potential attacks — particularly the kind dramatized in the James Bond film Goldfinger, where Fort Knox is targeted to contaminate its gold.

According to the insider, U.S. military intelligence fears Russia may be planning a similar attack, prompting them to stash the gold in hardened underground missile silos scattered across the western U.S. These remote, reinforced sites were chosen to withstand potential nuclear strikes, ensuring the bulk of the reserve remains protected.

The rumors are surfacing amid growing curiosity from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, both of whom have reportedly expressed interest in auditing Fort Knox. Trump even suggested he may visit the facility to verify whether the gold is still there, casting doubt on the Treasury’s official report that 147.3 million ounces remain on-site as of January 31, 2025.

The last verified public visit to Fort Knox was in 2017, sparking further speculation about what's really behind its heavily guarded doors. Read More.

James Rickards Predicts Gold Could Soar to $27,533 — And Says It’s Not Just a Guess

Gold prices are on the rise, climbing from around $2,043 per ounce in early 2024 to over $2,330 — a gain of more than 10%. But according to financial expert and author James Rickards, this is just the beginning.

Rickards, known for his bold gold forecasts, now predicts gold could reach $27,533 per ounce, citing a detailed monetary analysis rather than speculation. His argument? If the U.S. returned to a partial gold standard — backing 40% of the current $17.9 trillion M1 money supply with gold — the implied price would need to be that high. With 261.5 million ounces in U.S. reserves, that math leads to a gold valuation of over $27K per ounce.

This would represent a 1,000%+ increase from today’s price.

His advice: “Buy gold now.”

Ways to Invest in Gold:

• Physical Gold: Bars or coins offer tangible security, though they require safe storage.

• Gold Stocks & ETFs: Exposure through mining companies or funds that track gold prices.

• Gold IRA: A retirement account that includes physical gold, offering long-term tax benefits and a hedge against economic volatility.

If you believe in Rickards’ forecast, diversifying your portfolio with gold might be a smart move. Read More.
