Logically then, the bonds are real. Only states have such instruments, and if Japanese were carrying them, then I deduce they are Japanese holdings. (Why would a nation trust third nation personnel to transport them? They would give them to top treasury/intelligence agency couriers to transport.)
I deduce from all this that Japan is getting rid of dollars. The story disappearing tells me that our own govt. has prevailed upon foreign govts. to spike the story, in order not to start a stampede out of dollars that could crash the global economy.
Just my dos centavos worth.
The only nations with that much US debt are Japan and China.

The bonds were fake and intended to be used as collateral on a trading account. A few accounts with different companies. 132 billion would never have been passed. But when you need to print up 5 billion you print up 132 and select the best ones
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it at least until next Friday
