Ever wonder about Fort Knox?

The United States Bullion Depository is located within the Fort Knox Army base. The link discusses at length, the history of gold as it relates to the standard of the American $.

There have been questions about how much gold actually exists in US gold reserve vaults. The last real audit took place in 1954 and the The US $ went off the gold standard in 1971. The National Inflation Association often reports on gold and silver investments, along with information on the US national debt.

Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) plans to introduce a new bill in 2011 that will allow for an audit of US gold reserves - as reported here. I wonder what will happen with that?

It is one of the biggest factors for type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It is also associated with cancer (e.g. colorectal cancer), osteoarthritis, liver disease, sleep apnea, depression and other medical conditions  that affect mortality and morbidity. Whatever method I used to loose weight in the past, it just wasn't working. I don't like diets, but I loved pasta, pizza, sweets, bread, etc., those are gone for now and as a result, I no longer have a compelling desire for those foods. April of 2015 started it all. I was led to information regarding health and weight loss, starting with Gary Taubes book " Why We Get Fat, and What to Do About It " , 2010. Other books are " Wheat Belly " and " Grain Brain ". This is not just a diet, but a healthy li...
