That's been the case since the US FRN Dollar was delinked from gold by Nixon in 1972. Whether the gold is at Fort Knox or not, it's not our gold anymore anyway. It belongs to the private international banking establishment, regardless of where it's stored.

The United States has been OFF of the Gold Standard since June 5, 1933, when the great demoncrat FDR signed legislation removing us from the gold standard! All Nixon did was legalize American ownership of gold with the law he signed!
