The US MSM lack of coverage is deafening. This seems to lend even more credibility to the very authenticity of the bonds.

They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If bonds like these were being issued off the books pre-1982 it calls into question the entire legitimacy of the entire US bond complex.

How is it that the US Treasury Secretary isn't shouting from roof tops that the bonds are counterfeit if he in fact believes them to be fakes? Why isn't he defending the credit worthiness of the US?

If they are real, then in one small briefcase was the 4th largest aggregated amount of US Debt traveling to a clandestine meeting in Switzerland.

If they are Fake, we have a counterfeit scheme of a scale never imagined before.

Where is the Wall Street Journal? The level of capture of the US media by this administration is putting the old soviet bloc to shame.

If you think this admin is any different than the previous one in this regard, you're fooling yourself.

The main stream media made a joke of Bush 43. They adore Obama. That is a difference, though perhaps not the difference you are disputing the existence of.

The main stream media made a joke of Bush 43.

In 2003, the White House declared that the mission had been accomplished, but in 2004 the occupation of Iraq proved not to be so easy. It was than the non-News. Corporation and Clear Channel msm entities directed energies against the Bush administration. But still after winning the election, Time Magazine (Time Warner) named Bush it's person of the year in December of 2004.

You might recall that in the runup to the invasion it was no less than the New York Times which acted as the most important pass through for agit-prop from the administration through their star saleswoman, Judith Miller.

In 2005, the real nasty stuff picked up with Hurricane Katrina.

Bush enjoyed support across the political spectrum before all of that hit, especially after 9/11.

Obama on the other hand, has been incessantly attacked since before day one (during the election) by the msm entities aimed at the American Republican base audience. Clear Channel, News. Corp and the investors that watch CNBC.

Obama's problem (IMHO) is that he believes he can always find a multi-party solution to any problem - that there's nothing that can't be solved by negotiating. I also find him too confident that he can solve any problem. In short, as EJ observes, that he's naive. I think he could stand to fail at something big.

Just found something I wrote to some friends on 1/7/08:

I'd like to vote for Obama, but have this same reservation. It's been obvious since Newt's gang rode into town that the Dems are intent on bringing a knife to a gunfight, but now they're busy making 'switchblades' with popsicle sticks and rubber bands.

Arriving in the White House with the intention of doing anything other than making full use of the majority and every (legal) nut-kicking, eye-gouging, thumb-breaking hold you know is just plain naive.

"If they won't fight for themselves, why the fuck should you trust them to fight for you?" That should be the Republicans first line of attack in the general election.


Truer now than ever.

"U.S. Dollar Bonds"

Fake bonds, said to have been issued in the 1930's by the CIA to help Chiang Kai-shek fight the communists, and buried in caves by his generals and their heirs for years, have recently been "unearthed".

They are now being fraudulently offered to people at a fraction of their face value.Many inquiries come from West Coast law firms that are checking on the validity of these bonds for clients that reside in China, Singapore and Taiwan.

Most of these fictitious obligations refer to the Ministry of Finance of the United States and the of America neither of which has ever existed.

This must be like the time when the United States of America secretly planted propaganda in Italy and worked with the Spanish monarchy to recruit Christopher Columbus to discover the New World.

My post was more of a play on the activity of the CIA in the 1930's. That someone would refer to a Treasury Secretary as a Minister of Finance is not especially troubling, and can be accounted for as translation error and/or negligent reporting.
