Hi Edgy, I agree wholeheartedly with your suspicions about these items being forgeries for a number of reasons. Any organized ring that has the ability to reproduce $500 million T-notes is not your "just ask for Tony" basement counterfeiters. These would have to be world class players. Any top criminal would be sufficiently knowledgeable to know that larger denomination notes would be too difficult to sell and too easy to detect. They would only reproduce much smaller denominations and sell them in Zimbabwe. Switzerland has been the most influencial money laundering centre in world for decades if not centuries. They have worked with the top criminal minds the world has probably ever produced and most definitely learned a few tricks along the way. Thus these supposed T-note counterfeiters would never attempt to sell any of the reproduced bonds in Switzerland as a 5 year old Swiss kid could probably identify the forgeries from across the playground. Attempting to sell high denomination T-notes in Switzerland would be equivalent to exchanging counterfeit $100,000 bills at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Good luck! Thus we can rule out the possibility of these T-notes being forgeries.

How about North Korea and China hiring Japanese agents to secretly sell their Treasury holdings? Both of these countries despise/distrust Japan and would never risk such an enterprise, especially since China would know it could spark a major run on U.S. Treasuries and the USD. Having China enlist Japanese agents to ultra secret activities would be equivalent to the U.S. hiring Russian summer students to work at N.O.R.A.D. Zero probability folks! Does North Korea even have $134 billion in U.S. Treasuries? Unlikely, as they can barely pay for their last rice delivery. They would also never sell their holdings quietly as they hate the U.S. and would just love to bring them down a notch or two.

So that leaves Japan to secretly sell their U.S. Treasury holdings by process of elimination. Hmmmm let us see now. Like a few other countries, Japan already has too many U.S. Treasuries and it does seem logical to sell at least some of them before they lose further value. They would also need to do it quietly as the U.S. is their protector in Asia and they need the U.S. car market to maintain their industries. Surely, one can see that the West controls the media to communicate bankster propaganda. So for the media to report that the U.S. Treasuries found at the Swiss border are likely forgeries - well that would be the best of the bad lot of possibilities. Can one imagine if the media confirmed that Japan was actually selling their Treasury holdings secretly? The U.S. markets would sink like a stone within hours. What confirms this as being the most truthful possibility is that Japan's Finance Minister, last night and most conveniently by the way, expressed his country's "unshakeable" attraction to U.S. debt. Yes Mr. Kaoru Yosano, we believe you alright especially in that trembling voice!!! I just wonder how many U.S. Treasury agents were in the room off to the side when he made this impromptu speech?

Just a few thoughts - VHF
