This man has taught me more than school has for the past nine years (Edit)- I know that some of the stuff he said isn't correct. I've had teachers say stuff that isn't true too

The last requirement to back any percentage of the dollar with gold was removed back in 1971. At that time the backing was roughly 25 cents in gold for every paper dollar issued. Now it is zero.

Cheyenne Mountain Complex is the most secure Space Force Installation in the State of Colorado. I have been in it once. They held a literal once-in-a-lifetime marathon through the entire complex. That was about 7-8 years ago. The Security around the complex is extremely tight, and for good reason. They did renovate the blast doors to now withstand a 100+ MT nuclear blast within 1.5-2 miles

If I look out my window right now- I can see the Florence Prison in Fremont- I knew it was heavily guarded- but I didnt know it was THAT heavily guarded

I used to do HVAC work for Iron Mountain. Those places are crazy! Insane security. I had to have an armed escort the entire time.

When I was 18 in the 80’s, I traveled to the US for 6 months of traveling on my own, my Mum met me for the last month and we went to Washington DC to check the monuments and the Smithsonian museum’s, and we walked around the outside of the White House, my Mum was an attractive Woman and also charming (she had a fling with Omar Sherif), the secret service agents offered us a private tour even though it was closed to other visitors, I know we went to area’s that weren’t on the tour, but It was so long ago and my Mum has been gone since I was 31 so I don’t remember what rooms we went into, I just remember the metal detector, and Reagan was President, I do remember it being pretty cool and exciting though especially since they took us to places not on the tour. I wish I could remember, but I remember the museums more especially the Aerospace Museum, and I remember the Lincoln statue plus the squirrels since we don’t have any and they seemed exotic 😂 given I’m an Aussie I think that’s hilarious now as a 60yr old Man.

I have two words: WAR GAMES!! As soon as I saw the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, that's the first thing I thought of, Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy running for their lives into the mountain because Joshua thought the game was real. Best movie ever!

I love hearing about Air Force 1. Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Blacklist took the idea and ran with it. The plane is called the paladin that will never have to land as it is fueled daily in flight! I imagine it definitely has all the bells and whistles as AF1 but the cool part is that no one is aware of existence in TC universe except for high ranking NSA and the president and is on a need to know basis. Very cool for sure!!

Respect to the team who makes these videos

That ADX isn't the only super max prison. My husband worked at the Varner Super Max in Arkansas.

Can we all agree that we can appreciate be amazed can still entertain us with random interesting stuff

Something else about the supermax in CO. It is also surrounded by mountains. If somehow you got past everything it has to offer you are now stranded in some extremely nasty terrain. If it it winter then you are honestly just screwed!

Actually ADX isn't the only super max prison in the United States . There is also Pelican Bay in Crescent City California ! As of 2022 it has a population of 1,654 (69.4%capacity) it was opened in 1989 .

FYI. Air Force One is NOT refueled from an F-4 Phantom fighter jet, nor is it refueled from the back. It isn't hard to find images of the actual refueling process so it isn't necessary to include bogus images in your videos. And, TOR is not primarily designed or used to access the dark web. It is a platform that allows users to access any site anonymously. This is especially important for people living in locations/countries with repressive governments that want to limit access to 'unapproved' web content.

Cheyenne Mountain Complex reminds me of Stargate. One of my favorite shows.

Funny that the plane flown into the pentagon was actually a missile no remains of a plane where ever found

Me being a Filipino I can really relate to him saying " How are we gonna feed ourselves if theres no Jollibee's left in the world ? "

22:54 Didn't the formal backing of dollars to gold reserves end in 1971, with the "Nixon Shock"? These days, there are no hard limits of convertibility defining how much money (or liquidity) the US may keep in circulation: the dollar essentially rests on the informal credibility of the US state and American credit ratings.

Circa 1994 We are flying in a private Cessna piloted by my aunt accompanied by my mother and cousin on our way to a family reunion in Oregon coming from Arizona. Due to waking up in the early hours of the morning my cousin and I were sleeping in the back two seats of the plane. Flying over the Great Salt Lake Utah we had an air pocket dropped a thousand feet. Violently awoken my cousin and I found ourselves stuck to the ceiling of the plane from the rapid descent. During the recovery of the aircraft unbeknownst to us, we were off course. Returning to sleep, we were once again awoken this time being escorted by two, F-16's. One on each side of the plane. We were close enough to restricted Area 51 airspace the Air Force Base scrambled Jets to intercept. After correcting course and leaving airspace the f-16s turned away and vanished. I think we landed and refueled in Idaho and continued about our merry way. Is an exhilarating experience.

I have family who work at ADX Florence. The other side of the fence doesn't have laser beams. The concrete pit is only for Range 13 inmates and is actually called a rec yard. General population get to spend time on the ranges.

Imagine working in that max security starbucks 💀

8:30 should be update to, "any deliveries to the site must go through a 250,000 sq ft facility, unless you are a Boeing 757, you can just deliver to the outside walls or windows."

22:55 - Not after 1971, when Nixon left the gold standard. The current Federal Reserve Note, is known as "fiat money", and based solely on trust, and the Federal Reserve Bank.

Just to let you know, I'm 74 and very competent with the computer. Not all old farts are computer challenged.

At 24:10 Fort Knox.... He forgot to mention, that fort Knox is a....wait for it....a FORT!! Google says that units stationed there includes the 3rd brigade combat team, 4th cavalry brigade, and the 84th training command. If memory serves, they are one of the ones that teaches United States Army how to do tank things.... Talk to a US Army tanker, good chance they went through Fort Knox!! You tried breaking in there, and their M1 Abrams May declare you as a live-fire exercise!!

Greenbrier Bunker : Now I know where Fallout 76 got the idea for their 'White Springs Resort ' & Enclave bunker .

for area 51, it makes me think that they in "2013" allowed or acknowledged it because they moved or had to cover up another base of operation, just out of no where they finally agree to talk about it lol

Everyone knows that the Cheyenne complex is the main hub for the Stargate that the US goverment is using!

I've lived in Pa my whole life..I actually frequent Butler quite often and have NEVER heard of the underground...now I gotta go find it..I hope this channels willing to bail me out of jail since they told me about it! 😂

At 23:13 you equated one ounce of gold to about 28 grams. One avoirdupois ounce is about 28 g. Gold and other precious metals, however, are measured in troy weight. One troy ounce is about 31 grams. Interestingly, there are 16 avoir. ounces in an avoir. pound but 12 troy ounces in a troy pound. So, an avoir. pound is about 453 g and a troy pound is about 373 g. That's why a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold, to answer an old riddle.

Cheyenne Mountain is cool because it was featured in Stargate SG1

I would love to go into The Vatican vault and look at the oldest stuff they have. How much better that would be to the Christian population

Since I discovered this channel, talk of sleepless night bound on curiosity 😂 totally love the content alwys!!

Lmfao our money isn't backed by gold, there's not enough gold in existence to cover our debt 😂

Be amazed, you did a video on the rarest snakes. Why not do a video on the most dangerous snakes like inland thaipan, king cobra, sawscale viper, and boomslang to name a few.

As much as I enjoy your videos. Im pretty sure I have found a flaw in this video. Since 1971 the US dollar is a Fiat currency. Meaning the dollar can be printed on the good faith/credit of the federal reserve. Not backed by the amount of gold owned by the us. Also the federal reserve uses the fort Knox complex more like a bank for the storage of gold for other sovereignty's like the UK and Germany. So yes, there is a ungodly amount of gold stored there, it does not all belong to the us. Less than half actually according to the documentary I saw on this topic.

3:39 woow, ADX Florence security framework and housing the worlds most dangerous sends a thrill down the spine.. as a security professional and enthusiast, this content is awesomly educational.. good job Be Amazed

Such a great wealth of fascinating information. You really know how to captivate and intrigue the mind. Thank you!

Sealand had a massive fire in 2006 which is probably related to Havenco going under

At 13:20 Air Force One.... That is not the name of any aircraft that the president flies on....only the ones that are part of the United States Air Force. Remember Marine One?? It's an aircraft run by the Marine Corps.... At one time the US Army trade it off duties with the Marine Corps, they had Army One.... President George Bush Senior, I believe, flew out to a US Navy carrier, the two-seat Intruder was given the call sign Navy One.... Back in the 60s or the 70s President Richard Nixon chose to fly on a civilian airliner, (Pan Am I believe), it's called sign for that flight was Civilian One. There is provisions for, though so far no aircraft have carried the call sign Coast Guard One.... I would presume there is now provisions for a Space Force One....

Regarding Area 51, apparently 'Janet' Airlines is an acronym for Just Aviation Not Extra Terrestials!

The American dollar hasn't been backed by an equal value of gold for years!

I was deployed to Ft. Knox for Congressional Military Testing on the Stryker when we first bought the system. It is amazing how at night, the entire Ft. Knox facility just disappears. Plus, this segment doesn't mention that it not only has it's own security personnel, as well as an entire Army base that is the U.S. Army Armor School. So lots of tanks.

omg that was sooooooo cool, I was literally in a flat about 100 yards from Bold Lane car park when I watched this. I used to rollerskate in there in the 1990s.

the most heavily guarded place is the frikin universe lol

Not to mention fort knox is an Army base. I think that would hinder ur entry. Trust me i know, i live like 10 miles from it

Be Amazed is the best teacher in the world, he has taught me more than school

the cheyenne mountain complex is literally the base from stargate :D

Imagine an actual dark story behind this

absolutely love how you narrate and animate the channel!! keep up the great work and lists

Umm I’ve heard they don’t have it backed up by gold anymore. And also I’ve heard gold isn’t stored at Fort Knox anymore. Need some clarification plz

There’s three Air Force Ones and they fly at the same time so if they want to shoot down the aircraft they would have to shoot down all three of them to be sure they got the President and like you said it would be quite the challenge to even get a shot at one of these aircraft because of their defense systems and radar capabilities

The Cheyenne Mountain complex is not as safe as you say. I saw a program on the making of the complex. The Mountain itself is flawed.

Wasock? No.... WASATCH. Dude. Wasatch Mountains. I seriously had to listen to that, like, 5 times.

4:07 What do you mean they can't cause harm to themselves? They can smash their face against the desk as hard as they can. If they are some of the most dangerous prisoners, then they probably have the guts for it, they won't have the brain for it if they do though.

Linux Source code is also stored at the Norwegian seed vault and store on something that lasts over 1000 years. The second largest storage is in India, Himalaya's.

When I was in the US Navy, I went to GITMO (Naval Station Guantanamo Bay) twice. That was a VERY long time before the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp was opened in 2002. The security of the base is higher than any other Navy base I was at and I spent time training at the Naval Submarine Base New London, CT which I would say comes in 2nd to the bases I was at for security.

Know I know why they choose the name Iron Mountain! That was good knowledge to know. Will always remember it now when I see the trucks driving around.

As so as I saw Cheyenne mountain the Stargate theme popped into my head 😂

People think nothing is going on in Area 51 just by looking at the base, smh, that’s because 97% of it is underground!!! Sort of like the movie Resident Evil and the “hive”

Tho about 8-9 years ago some random guy broke into the white house by running in and ge had a knife and had free roam for 5 mins before being tackled by am off duty officer. A woman agent was guarding the front door and was shrugged off and knocked out by the guy upon entering. Makes you think.

I used to work at Boeing and I handled documents going to Iron Mountain but never knew this is what the place looked like. This really blew my mind!

If you do another dumb ways people died I have a story, in one of my brother and sisters class in like 7th grade they were learning about the elements and their teacher had a set of almost all available elements, despite learning about all the elements and how dangerous they were and being said not to touch the containers 1 kid decided to grab the container of arsenic open it up and ate it. This kid was rushed to the hospital but died and the teacher was not allowed to have the elements anymore but surprisingly not fired.

A pole vaulter could clear the fence around the white house with ease. For the record: I am not a pole vaulter.

i already know what they do in area 51 but they got over 3 classified test jets that are like concepts of jets for the navy and more for the us defense i cant say no more.

A lot of WV natives have known about the Green Briar for a long long time

Even though there is so much security surrounding the White House in Washington DC. There was not one measure to save the Pentagon from being hit by a plane on 9/11. I would have figured the first time the tried to contact the plane and no response back, the plane would've been shot down. It's been theorized that the plane that hit the Pentagon was actually meant for the White House or Capitol Building and over shot it. No matter what it was supposed to hit, it still crashed into the Pentagon. That to me is scary as hell. I also believe had the President been in DC at the time this outcome would've been much different.

There is a iron mountian right down the road from where i work they also destroy paper too

Really enlightening Thanks for sharing

Why they protecting Starbucks lmaoo what are they guarding?? The beans??

Ive watched so many beamazed videos that the voice is just comforting

I love your commentary your funny ..thank you so much for the video

The seed vaults are more important than just ensuring you are able to get access to veggies if something terrible happens. They have seeds for all kinds of plants which are vital to ecosystems throughout the world. Trees, flowering plants, grasses etc are also vital, and you wouldn't have meat without them. No doubt they also have samples of mushroom mycelium, as no life on Earth would exist without mushrooms. 🙂

I learn and retain more information through this channel and other like it, much better than I used to at school. I wish I were taught this way. I would’ve retained much more info

Problem is, all the information provided by whistle blowers confirms what Bob Lazar claimed

I live 15 minutes from the adx Florence prison it’s pretty cool to drive by and one of my former teachers works in the Cheyenne mountain complex

Bro isolating prisoners for three years will horribly affect their mental health and most likely make them more antisocial and impede their rehabilitation

I am gonna screenrecord this video, if the CIA shuts it down.

This mans voice is so relaxing like wtf-

When I see the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, it makes me wonder if there's anything left of the Stargate program. I know it's probably not, but the TV show was on for 10 seasons....lol

Your the best be amazed keep up the good work

I have been watching you for over five years and you’ve definitely taught me more then school has and I’m in seventh grade

It’s true that we have an archive of genealogy in the mountains. We prefer the name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Displaying photos taken during temple ceremonies is considered inappropriate and disrespectful. We are members and my kids watch this channel. We do believe that by tracing our genealogy back as far as we can go, and through doing proxy ordinances for them inside of the temple (like baptisms, and even eternal marriages) that we can be connected to our ancestors, and form a lineage through which we can enjoy and be together with them (and they with their family) in heaven. That’s truly the end goal. We would like to help our family accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, even on the other side - and believe this is possible and that missionary work happens even after people die. It is possible. Our church is accepting of homosexuals, but we still view sodomy and homosexuality as a sin, just like we do fornication, and sex before marriage. So, we encourage every person and individual who is not married, to abstain from sexual intercourse. We believe our bodies are temples that hold the Holy Ghost which is in us, and to defile our bodies would be like defiling a temple. Our bodies are sacred and holy. One of the greatest gifts given to us from God is our body, and that it was bought with a price (Jesus’ sacrifice for us). I am pretty sure we are not rewriting any type of history by not doing temple marriages for homosexual couples because I don’t believe that in the next life that these couples will still be married because their marriage is contrary to the laws of God and heaven. I think the information that is shared needs to be researched a lot more, before an understanding is developed to accurately portray viewpoints contrary to your own. Temple worship, and ordinances are there to give us hope and connection to heaven. Open to any and all members whether they are homosexual or not, as long as they are following God’s commandments for His children.

What about Glastonbury? That festival where they're all behind an enormous wall whilst asking for open borders 😂

i enjoyed the video, subscribed because you were giving my brain a brake with kilometres and Celsius scale

There’s a rooftop bar in Atlanta Georgia I tried to go to with my fiance a while back but it had 2 security guards armed with rifles, metal detectors, and an X-ray for bags… and a $100 cover charge. I’d say that’s pretty secure

I’m gonna assume the thumbnail isn’t 100 legit starting video now lol

I recommend ADX Florence like a month back I did

He always finds a way to entertain us

While I appreciate how awesome everything in this video is, I can’t help but long for a time when we didn’t NEED all of these innovations and safeguards to protect national secrets/vaults of seeds/scary, society from dangerous criminals…… Guess Bob Dylan was right. The times are changing 😢

When I worked for a bank in Pittsburgh, even our daily trash was stored at Iron Mountain. This was in case any sensitive info found its way into our desk trash baskets. Needless to say - NO FOOD ALLOWED at your desk. Re:the Pentagon... when my brother worked for the FBI in the early 90s he was tasked with evaluating various government department's potential exposure to hackers. His results found that the most secure agency was The Dept of Agriculture and the most vulnerable, the Pentagon!

The Korean DMZ is also known as the SpeedBump as that's all it would be if the NK decided to invade.

Epstein should have been held at that prison.

As for the Whitehouse being the most recognisable building in the US - some of the jan 6 people thought they were storming the whitehouse that day 😅

Seems they didn't guard the seed vault enough.. from unexpected defrosting... seems some water got in from the thawing permafrost. Don't remember the details though..it was a few years ago..

As a christian who is not ok with promoting homosexuality many churches believe in following the bible and believe that promoting homosexuality would be like sending the couple to hell since they are defying gods will. So by accepting the couple it would doom them. You can disagree with us and I understand why people view christians with this value as hateful but just saying why churches dont support same sex marriages.

"Just because you don't see it,it doesn't mean it isn't there" YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT

Keep uploading tho bro, u da best
