That's right. The Federal Reserve does not have gold. I think it is held by the US Treasury.

I think this was already public knowledge. The Fed stores gold for the US and for foreign governments at the NY Fed in Manhatten, but it does not actually own it. Germany, Italy, and others have gold in New York - it was considered safer during the Cold War. Russian tanks could reach Frankfurt a lot faster than they could reach the Eastern US.
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel
For nothyng is better than lyberte
For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world

I found most of the humor in watching the video... It's almost like to 2 sides didn't match. It was like ok, let's get up here and do this so we can show everone we are doing something. I mean Paul didn't even seem to listen to what they were saying. At least that is how I took it.
