Gone
But Not Forgotten
Sam Aurelius Milam III
In
October, I watched the Fort Knox episode of Brad Meltzer's Decoded.
The documentary included a lot of important information. Some of
the positions that I've taken over the years with regard to money, finance,
and the political significance of such things were supported by information
that was provided in the documentary. However, the most important
information didn't address money, banking, or finance. It addressed
an entirely different subject. That information was part of an interview
of Craig Hulet, a foreign policy analyst, Vietnam veteran, and former
Senior Armorer for the troops that guard Fort Knox. The interview
was conducted by Buddy Levy (a professor), Scott Rolle (an attorney), and
Christine McKinley (an engineer). They're the regular investigators
for the program. Here's the transcript of that interview.

Buddy
Levy: What do you believe is inside Fort Knox?
Craig
Hulet: I was stationed in Fort Knox after I returned from Vietnam.
I was a Senior Armorer, and I issued weapons to those people that guarded
Fort Knox, a platoon sized group that guarded Fort Knox. We were
told to issue no ammunition. And because I was a returning vet, I
questioned it and the officer in charge was a friend of mine. He
pulled me aside and said we don't issue weapons with ammunition simply
because there is no gold in Fort Knox.
Scott
Rolle: So this was your OIC, your Officer in Charge?
Craig
Hulet: Yes.
Scott
Rolle: He tells you there's no gold in there but did you see it empty
for yourself?
Craig
Hulet: Nobody ever sees Fort Knox.
Scott
Rolle: Well how would the Captain know that, then?
Craig
Hulet: Because he would be privileged to that information, given
his position.
Scott
Rolle: Do you know if he ever got inside himself and saw it with
his own eyes or is this information he'd heard?
Craig
Hulet: He said it that he understood that there was no gold and he
did give me a reason why because I thought well then this is foolish, what
are we doing? There's people that are gonna come to Fort Knox, let's
assume they believe there's gold....
Christine
McKinley: Yeah....
Craig
Hulet: They're gonna come armed so either way we're stuck with no
ammunition and these people believe there's gold. Well he said it's
simple, we let ’em in and we zip it up.
Christine
McKinley: We let ’em in, we zip it up, but, well, wait a minute....
Craig
Hulet: In other words, they disappear.
Christine
McKinley: Oh. So, if, if I broke into Fort Knox, you didn't
have ammo to protect it, and I got in....
Craig
Hulet: We just zip it up.
Christine
McKinley: You just make me disappear, so I don't come out and announce
to everybody, hey guess what....
Craig
Hulet: There's no gold in Fort Knox. That's not gonna happen.
Buddy
Levy: Will the government ever really come clean on what happened
to the gold in Fort Knox?
Craig
Hulet: No. No, they don't tell us anything unless they're absolutely
forced to. This isn't a crime, that's, that's what's most important
to me, to understand it. When you realize that this is a policy of
the government, this is not theft, this is not, you know, this is not crooks
and liars, you're not gonna catch anybody, put anybody in jail, what we're
gonna find is that we've got a policy in place still to this day that says
we're not gonna be on a gold standard, and now we can never be on a gold
standard, there's not sufficient gold, because they've already sold it.
Buddy
Levy: Let's assume for a minute that you're right, that there's no
gold in Fort Knox, what is in there, what are they guarding in Fort Knox,
if there's no gold there?
Craig
Hulet: The myth that there's gold. The perception of gold.
The perception of the American people still have a government that is protecting
their interests and the first interest is the economy, and jobs, and your
future.
Christine
McKinley: If there's a true inventory of Fort Knox and we find it's
empty, what does that mean for us? What does that mean for me?
Craig
Hulet: That your children, grandchildren, your future, you've been
robbed. |

The
agenda of the documentary was to investigate the possibility that there
isn't any gold in Fort Knox. During the course of that investigation,
a situation of much greater signifi-
