Italian mafia caught with $ 6 TRILLION in fake US treasuries [no joke!]

swissaustrian,

After watching your video after the 20:00 mark...




It wouldn't take to much imagination to think an organization that has access to all communications, to be able to isolate targets, sell paper, and then insist it to be fake. They could select targets that couldn't dare come forward to complain! Thus pocketing the proceeds to prop up a failed ecconomy built upon a Ponzy(?) scheme.

why didn't they bail Greece out?

I believe the MSM. That an organized crime syndicate, that survived Mussolini, infiltrated numerous Federal and State police forces, bribed judges both here and in Italy, assassinated officials going so far as to bomb an entire convoy within a G7 state decided to make a TRILLION dollars worth of fake notes to exchange at a bank for "real" money. Sure...

Oh and on top of that they were attempting to get Nigerian plutonium. That's weird, because plutonium only exists in rare trace amounts naturally. Almost all of today's weapons grade plutonium is produced in nuclear reactors. Nigeria does have a nuclear reactor but one that is not capable of producing weapons grade Plutonium, only research-grade.

The simplest explanation for such an item to exist would be for banks to fool banking regulators about how much capital they have. Anyone else would try to redeem at least one, no?

 

[Carson]

Someone on fark, I think, said the amount of them was way to high to be a realistic amount for the time period of the notes.

this was probably an attempt to "shore up" big banks durring the depression. WWII probably started over these things and no one realizes it. LMAO

Meh... doesn't really matter anyways. Try redeeming a "Federal Reserve Note" for a gold coin... ain't going to happen. Furthermore, since the only legal tender is gold and silver, all of it is counterfeit.

You can still redeem Federal Reserve notes for gold- just not with the banks.

You can buy gold, but you can't redeem in Gold. The big difference is you get taxed for buying gold.

Just a couple of figures for 1934 (the date on the forged notes): US GDP (nominal- not adjusted for inflation) was $66 billion and govenment spending for that year was $1.5 billion. $6 trilllion in notes would have been nearly 100 times the output of the entire country for that year. http://www.economics-charts.com/gdp/gdp-1929-2004.html#table

Yeah, if you could redeem in gold, $35 would get you an ounce of it, as that's what it was (and was never changed since) at the time Nixon defaulted on the Bretton-Woods agreement back in 1971. Since then the dollar has been in inflationary freefall mode (commonly mislabeled as "floating"), an increasingly worthless shell of its former self.
