My understanding is that the Treasury quit issuing bearer bonds almost thirty years ago.
How many of those bonds have gone unredeemed is a question I don’t know the answer to.
These clowns were arrested on June 3. It is very easy to determine whether the bonds are forgeries. The fact that the Treasury hasn’t declared them so speaks volumes.
Oh trust me, I am with you.
The worst part is that the current administration is attempting to “showcase” its world-player-abilities by doing meaningless things like encouraging twitter to stay on. Like either of their candidates is going to be any different vis-a-vis US relations.
Meanwhile, it is intent on prosecuting someone for paying in legal currency just because the medium of exchange is valuable (Nevada). Everything anyone does must now be passed through the scrutiny of being potential terrorist activity (something the previous administration took pains to validate, but is now considered a great way to attack rivals and gather dirt).
If memory serves, the date was an issue, and the claim that there’s no such thing as a Kennedy bond was also an issue.
Not exactly - if a hundred dems are involved - and ONE Republican - - we'll hear about the one Republican. Dems will be mentioned by name, but only in the last few paragraphs will their party affiliation be mentioned.
If it's only dems involved - the "press" will find some Republican who took $200 15 years ago and try to do an "equivalence thing".
MSM bias is getting funny - it's that transparent. ABC is setting the bar low -- veeery low.
OMG! And NOTHING happened to him?? WHO was the unidentified man?? Weird story!!
Now that's a spooky thought.
“This must have been tipped.”
My thoughts exactly...for whatever reason these two were snitched on.
“This was a long time coming and it was not a conspiracy.”
100% agree with you.
Just a couple of rich Japanese looking for a safe place to keep their money. Couldn’t find one in Italy so headed to Switzerland. Germany would have been next.
Move along, move along please.
I seem to remember something about the Fed not wanting to explain some huge loss or transfer or whatever. This was several months ago. Seems like it was about $130B or so. Anybody else remember it?
Here’s one of the threads: “$550 Billion Electronic Run on Banks.”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2183367/posts
From the article: “On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.
The Treasury tried to help, opened their window and pumped in $150 Billion but quickly realized they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. So they decided to closed down the accounts.
Had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.”
He simply does not understand “Freedom” or “Free” men.
He represents “repression and compulsion”. His “slip is showing”. He is a Muzzie and a Commie. Neither can stand the light of day or to have his actions become visible.
This will eventually reach “critical mass”.
This would appear to tie in with that mid-september event that put Obama in the driver seat after the Palin surge.
Gates and Buffet, rather than Soros would be a more likely channel.
Here’s another photo of the “Kennedy bonds”. They look like the $75 E bonds with their amount altered.
The they wasted their money? - It surely was orchestrated.
Here’s another interesting thread from Thurs., Nov. 13, 2008: “Fed Refuses to Disclose Details of $2 TRILLION in Loans”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2131505/posts
From the article: “The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.
The Fed’s lending is significant because the central bank has stepped into a rescue role that was also the purpose of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, bailout plan - without safeguards put into the TARP legislation by Congress.
Total Fed lending topped $2 trillion for the first time last week and has risen by 140 percent, or $1.172 trillion, in the seven weeks since Fed governors relaxed the collateral standards on Sept. 14.”
Totally unrelated tho’. A drawdown of money market accounts, no matter how large, does not create bearer bonds.
Not necessarily. They may have been running a very complex, big money scam on some sucker.
The fake billions could have been a ruse to trick somebody into producing a few million for them.
Weird, weird story. And what the hell ever happened to Don Johnson and his story?
A couple of Japanese guys wanted to move 134 Billion to Switzerland and rather than chartering a private jet to fly directly to their destination, they took a commercial flight to Italy and rented a car, so as to save money?
Would they have been searched all that hard arriving in Switzerland by private charter?
