Blue i tend to think you are correct however not everyone knows it for a fact, thats the damn problem they wont let a true audit take place. So i do think you are right i cant state it as fact, what is fact is that the speculation about Fort Knox is in itself not helpful. When the Chinese recieve Gold Bars from the US stamped Fort Knox in the 1990s during the Clinton Administration (just dating it its dems and reps) and discover they are Tungsten wraped in Gold is when i knew we had a serious problem.
This story has been scrubbed from the web, try and find it folks, its out there and its real, China recieved Gold stamped Fort Knox and it was Tungsten wrapped Gold in the 1990's.

A recent discovery — in October of 2009 — has been suppressed by the main stream media but has been circulating among the “big money” brokers and financial kingpins and is just now being revealed to the public. It involves the gold in Fort Knox — the US Treasury gold — that is the equity of our national wealth. In short, millions (with an “m”) of gold bars are fake!
Who did this? Apparently our own government.
Background
In October of 2009 the Chinese received a shipment of gold bars. Gold is regularly exchanges between countries to pay debts and to settle the so-called balance of trade. Most gold is exchanged and stored in vaults under the supervision of a special organization based in London, the London Bullion Market Association (or LBMA). When the shipment was received, the Chinese government asked that special tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four small holed are drilled into the gold bars and the metal is then analyzed.
Officials were shocked to learn that the bars were fake. They contained cores of tungsten with only a outer coating of real gold. What’s more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the US and had been stored in Fort Knox for years. There were reportedly between 5,600 to 5,700 bars, weighing 400 oz. each, in the shipment!

In my eyes, gold is no more valuable than paper. It might be scarcer, but it's just a piece of shiny metal, nothing more, nothing less. Yet it has other uses, but not enough to warrant it's price. It's 'value' is imaginary and unwarranted.
The gold being tampered with is 400 oz. bars or 1 kilo bars...right? Most people couldn't afford this kind of investment, so who cares if the rich guys get burned ? Do you think one oz. coins are tungsten wrapped in gold??

I have been following this story for years now, i have been trashed for bringing it up more then once, however once again gold wraped tungsten found again. This is not the first, but a long series of discoveries of gold being tampered with or Salted with Tungsten. This raises fear of the nature of all of the gold supply, and makes me think, What Do We Have In Fort Knox, do we have Gold or Tungsten or NOTHING. I had to repost this information, people this is becoming more and more wide spread and could threaten central banks, Do You Own Gold, Are You Sure?

i doubt the veracity of the " chinese fake gold " tail , simply because the alledged test claimed is slow and drestructive
a national bank or major bullion trader would have the incentive and rescources to have x-ray flouresence machine - which gives the gold content of any item in seconds
only chumps drill holes in gold
