If it is real and turns out to be something juicy like a payoff to an international financier for triggering the financial crisis and putting obama in power, we’ll never hear another word about it.

Obama's election was
guaranteed as long as he continued to suck oxygen.
There was absolutely no need to go to the trouble of orchestrating a financial meltdown.
It was a complete certainty from as far back as the middle of last year.

I would be suprised if the Japanese govt was actually involved. If so they would have moved them via diplomatic pouches which are not subject to search as I understand.
More likely they are either privately held - unlikely; stolen - plausible; or forgeries - probable.
Still it does make for interesting conjecture and either way would represent a serious risk.

Wow, what a story. Thanks for posting.
Driving from Italy to Switzerland has been a piece of cake for decades. This must have been tipped.

There was absolutely no need to go to the trouble of orchestrating a financial meltdown. The meltdown wasn't to get him elected. It was done to lay the foundation for everything he's doing and will do AFTER getting elected.

Are you saying the unbiased MSM and ABC News Whores wouldn't cover something that might hurt dems? How dare you!!! /s

How much of our national debt is in bearer bonds cashable by whoever is holding them as opposed to ones that have to be registered like most stocks and bonds are?
The billion dollar question is "counterfeit or real?" If they are real, then someone big is secretly abandoning the dollar and that is very bad news for us. It's like smelling smoke in a theater and trying to walk quietly to the fire escape because yelling "FIRE!" might get you trampled.

Biggest story of the year. Too bad the MSM is in the pocket of dems - this stroy will break what little credibility they have left.

Why forge them? Who would take a $500 million bond except a huge bank which would verify them first.

The meltdown wasn't to get him elected. It was done to lay the foundation for everything he's doing and will do AFTER getting elected. It was "done" by cretinous Americans in over their head in debt, shysters on Wall St. whose desire to make a fast buck led to the creation of all sorts of exotic financial instruments and incompetent and corrupt politicians from both parties.
This was a long time coming and it was not a conspiracy.
