Fort Knox – Is the Gold Really There?
by Kerry Lutz, Financial Survival Network:
In this video, we explore the high-stakes audit of Fort Knox—one of the world’s most secure facilities and the repository of a large portion of America’s gold reserves. Whispers of missing gold and demands for full transparency by figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Senator Rand Paul have led to a renewed focus on the site’s contents. Government officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and former Secretary Steven Mnuchin, insist that all gold is present and accounted for.
The Covid Revolution – For Those Suspicious Of Coincidences, Consider This Small But Curious Data Point: The ‘Freedom Convoy’ Ended On February 23, 2022, The Ukraine War Started The Very Next Day
by J.B. Shurk , All News Pipeline:
Let’s revisit the tumultuous second half of 2021. Dementia-addled President Joe Biden executed a disastrous retreat from Afghanistan in August that resulted in the killing of thirteen servicemembers. Having spectacularly failed America’s warfighters, he transitioned quickly to the ongoing “fight against COVID.”
No cost was too great or burden too onerous in the federal government’s war against microscopic organisms. Billions were funneled to pharmaceutical companies (aka Democrat Party donors) to pay for witch doctors’ experimental elixirs. Billions more were funneled to “news” platforms and “non-governmental” organizations (all on the USAID dole) to push the White House’s preferred COVID narratives and censor dissent. In-class learning remained strictly limited. School desks were transformed into walled enclosures discouraging human contact. Masking requirements became only more elaborate and superstitious with time. Any restaurants or small businesses that wished to avoid bankruptcy were forced to comply with ever-changing COVID edicts. Members of the military were sacrificed as gene-therapy guinea pigs for Big Pharma. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration threatened to prevent un-“vaccinated” workers from making a living. Crazy Joe Biden promised a “winter of severe illness and death” for any American refusing to be a biochemical test subject.
Biden Spent Over $1T on DEI to BUILD BACK BETTER
by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Equity and Racial Justice Through the Federal Government.” This order “emphasized the enormous human costs of systemic racism” and “other disparities” and became “the first-ever national strategy on gender equity and equality.” Talent and quality were dismissed. Gender, race, and sexual orientation became primary indicators of a candidate’s ability rather than actual talent. How far did Biden and Harris take this order?
The Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America found 460 DEI programs across 24 US government agencies under the Biden administration. An astounding $1.1 TRILLION in public funds was diverted to these programs. The study said that the $1.1 trillion was the tip of the iceberg as it did not include every program or agency.
Five Eyes Would Go Blind Without US Backing: US Army Vet and Intel Specialist
from Sputnik News:
Britain’s intelligence establishment reportedly started “rationing” what info to pass on to the US after Trump’s election, and his thrashing of Zelensky at the White House last month has sparked talk of a ‘breakaway’ ‘Four Eyes’ intel-sharing pact. Sputnik reached out to a leading US military intel specialist for details on what this could entail.
DOGE Uncovers Another $3B Wasted on Climate Change
by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
Sunnova Energy, a solar panel company based in Texas, has filed for bankruptcy. It is not shocking for a solar panel company to go under as the demand is simply not there. Upfront costs could range into tens of thousands and it takes years to see actual savings. The Biden Administration spent more than any past administration on climate initiatives, so it is of no surprise that Biden’s Department of Energy awarded numerous loans to solar companies. Sunnova Energy in particular profited $3 billion from a partial loan in September 2023.

Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill Passes The Senate
from Activist Post:
In a vote of 25-5, Texas’ bitcoin reserve legislation has been approved by the Senate. It will now advance to the House.
Today, the Texas Senate has passed SB 21, a bill aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state, by a vote of 25-5. The bill will now advance to the Texas House for further consideration.
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick identified SB 21 as a priority bill for the 2025 legislative session this past January. The bill aims to position Texas as a leader in Bitcoin adoption by establishing a reserve of BTC, which proponents argue will serve as a hedge against economic instability and inflation.
Elon’s Latest Warning About Social Security
from Birch Gold Group:
In his crusade against waste, fraud and abuse, Elon Musk has made some extreme claims. Earlier this week he really crossed a line, though, when he said, “Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” What exactly did he mean? And, more importantly, what are we going to do about it?
In my lifetime, I’ve never seen an administration in the White House that knew how to snag our attention the way this one does.
Sure, simply because it’s the White House, the media will be reporting what was said and done (usually with a healthy dose of bias, depending on the particular outlet).
But Donald Trump and Elon Musk? They’ve taken it to a whole new level. Trump with his social media posts and press conferences, Musk with his own social media posts and public appearances.
Once again, Musk made an announcement that set the media world on fire…
DOGE Says It Found $312 Million in Loans That Were Given to Children During Pandemic
from The Epoch Times:
About 5,600 loans worth $312 million went ’to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan,’ DOGE said.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said over the weekend that it found that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted thousands of loans worth hundreds of millions of dollars to individuals who had an age listed as 11 years old or younger.
In a post on social media platform X on March 8 that was reposted by Elon Musk, who leads the department, DOGE wrote that in the COVID-19 pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, the SBA granted 5,593 loans worth $312 million “to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan.”
“While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these 5,593 loans, as they all also used [a Social Security number] with the incorrect name,” the post reads.
