Suitcase With $134 Billion Puts Dollar on Edge

Commentary by William Pesek

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- It's a plot better suited for a John Le Carre novel.

Two Japanese men are detained in Italy after allegedly attempting to take $134 billion worth of U.S. bonds over the border into Switzerland. Details are maddeningly sketchy, so naturally the global rumor mill is kicking into high gear.

Are these would-be smugglers agents of Kim Jong Il stashing North Korea's cash in a Swiss vault? Bagmen for Nigerian Internet scammers? Was the money meant for terrorists looking to buy nuclear warheads? Is Japan dumping its dollars secretly? Are the bonds real or counterfeit?

The implications of the securities being legitimate would be bigger than investors may realize. At a minimum, it would suggest that the U.S. risks losing control over its monetary supply on a massive scale.

The trillions of dollars of debt the U.S. will issue in the next couple of years needs buyers. Attracting them will require making sure that existing ones aren't losing faith in the U.S.'s ability to control the dollar.

The dollar is, for better or worse, the core of our world economy and it's best to keep it stable. News that's more fitting for international spy novels than the financial pages won't help that effort. It is incumbent upon the U.S. Treasury to get to the bottom of this tale and keep markets informed.

GDP Carriers

Think about it: These two guys were carrying the gross domestic product of New Zealand or enough for three Beijing Olympics. If economies were for sale, the men could buy Slovakia and Croatia and have plenty left over for Mongolia or Cambodia. Yes, they could have built vacation homes amidst Genghis Khan's Gobi Desert or the famed Temples of Angkor. Bernard Madoff who?

These men carrying bonds concealed in the bottom of their luggage also would be the fourth-largest U.S. creditors. It makes you wonder if some of the time Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner spends keeping the Chinese and Japanese invested in dollars should be devoted to well-financed men crossing the Italian-Swiss border.

This tale has gotten little attention in markets, perhaps because of the absurdity of our times. The last year has been a decidedly disorienting one for capitalists who once knew up from down, red from black and risk from reward. It almost fits with the surreal nature of today that a couple of travelers have more U.S. debt than Brazil in a suitcase and, well, that's life.

Clancy Bestseller

You can almost picture Tom Clancy sitting in his study thinking: "Damn! Why didn't I think of this yarn and novelize it years ago?" He could have sprinkled in a Chinese angle, a pinch of Russian intrigue, a dose of Pyongyang and a bit of Taiwan-Strait tension into the mix. Presto, a sure bestseller.

Daniel Craig may be thinking this is a great story on which to base the next James Bond flick. Perhaps Don Johnson could buy the rights to this tale. In 2002, the "Miami Vice" star was stopped by German customs officers as he was traveling in a car carrying credit notes and other securities worth as much as $8 billion. Now he could claim it was all, uh, research.

When I first heard of the $134 billion story, I was tempted to glance at my calendar to make sure it didn't read April 1.

Let's assume for a moment that these U.S. bonds are real. That would make a mockery of Japanese Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano's "absolutely unshakable" confidence in the credibility of the U.S. dollar. Yosano would have some explaining to do about Japan's $686 billion of U.S. debt if more of these suitcase capers come to light.

'Kennedy Bonds'

Counterfeit $100 bills are one thing; two guys with undeclared bonds including 249 certificates worth $500 million and 10 "Kennedy bonds" of $1 billion each is quite another.

The bust could be a boon for Italy. If the securities are found to be genuine, the smugglers could be fined 40 percent of the total value for attempting to take them out of the country. Not a bad payday for a government grappling with a widening budget deficit and rebuilding the town of L'Aquila, which was destroyed by an earthquake in April.

It would be terrible news for the White House. Other than the U.S., China or Japan, no other nation could theoretically move those amounts. In the absence of clear explanations coming from the Treasury, conspiracy theories are filling the void.

On his blog, the Market Ticker, Karl Denninger wonders if the Treasury "has been surreptitiously issuing bonds to, say, Japan, as a means of financing deficits that someone didn't want reported over the last, oh, say 10 or 20 years." Adds Denninger: "Let's hope we get those answers, and this isn't one of those 'funny things' that just disappears into the night."

This is still a story with far more questions than answers. It's odd, though, that it's not garnering more media attention. Interest is likely to grow. The last thing Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke need right now is tens of billions more of U.S. bonds -- or even high-quality fake ones -- suddenly popping up around the globe.

The mystery bonds: Enter the cult! (Now it gets ULTRA strange...) - One news story -- immediately taken offline -- identified Wilfredo Saurin and Joseph Daraman

the polemicist

(Update: My articles have been vindicated. After you read the piece below, check out the sixth update to this Cryptogon article on the mystery bonds. The main Cryptogon article was written before my work but the update -- which gloms onto the Filipino connection -- was written afterward, independently. The giveaway was the "1934" date on the bonds. Apparently, when someone tried to pull this trick back in 2005, the bonds amounted to $3 trillion. Those guys on the Italian-Swiss border were pikers. For lots more info (included a damning photo), see my updated post, "Vindication.")

Our previous story on "The Italian job" has gotten stranger.

Before we get to the new stuff, we must recap: Two "Japanese nationals" (who may not actually come from Japan) were caught in Italy just as they were about to take $134.5 billion dollars in bonds into Switzerland. Most of these bonds, we are told, were of such a ridiculously high denomination ($500 million each) as to make them non-negotiable by normal humans. Only states could hope to use such things.

Mystery number 1: What did the "Japanese nationals" hope to do with these instruments?

Mystery number 2: Are the bonds counterfeit or real? If real, Italy stood to gain a windfall -- Italian law allows the government of that country to take 40 percent of the booty.

Mystery number 3: Why has the American press kept mum about a possible swindle that dwarfs the Madoff affair? The Europeans and the Asians are all over it.

Now that we are caught up, here's the latest: This site by Karl Denninger quotes a translated German news article which indicates that the bonds are probably real, or so sayeth the Italians. That clear up Mystery number 2.

Or does it? Recall that the Italians, who are conducting the investigation, have a strong financial stake in the outcome. Below, we will examine good evidence that the bonds are actually outrageous fakes.

Real or fake, just how did the two "Japanese" hope to cash such bonds? Who are these guys? Why are their names being kept out of all news accounts?

One news story -- immediately taken offline -- identified one of the "Japanese" as a notorious con man from the Philippines named Yohannes Riyadi, a.k.a. Wilfredo Saurin, whose associates in international crime are fairly well-known. The other guy may have been his comrade Joseph Daraman. These two men are the right ages, and they both could pass for Japanese. They've been trading in fake documents from the Federal Reserve for years.

A more basic question: Just what ARE these bonds?

Karl Denninger seems to think that we are dealing with bearer bonds. Such bonds are like the bills in your wallet (only lots more compact) -- they bear no record of the transaction. If you possess them, the money's yours. That is, if you can figure out how to cash a $500 million bond, which you probably couldn't.

But are they bearer bonds? The original Italian story referred to the bonds as mostly "Federal Reserve Bonds" plus "Kennedy Bonds." BabelFish it:

Duecentoquarantanove bond della Federal Reserve statunitense per un valore nominale di 500 milioni di dollari ciascuno, più 10 bond Kennedy da 1 miliardo di dollari ciascuno

And now I'm trying to figure out just what these words mean.

Maybe you'll have better luck than I did, but when I looked up the phrase "Kennedy bonds," I encountered no previous usage of that term. The classification almost certainly does not exist.

"Federal Reserve Bond" is a more difficult term. This site offers a discussion of the Italian mystery which includes an eye-opening comment by one sjfan:

I used to trade treasury bonds and cash for several institutions... there's no such thing as "Federal Reserve Bond". It doesn't exist. The fed do not issue their own debt instrument.

Is that claim true? The improper subject-verb agreement does not necessarily mean that we should dismiss what sjfan has to say. I've been researching the term "Federal Reserve Bond" and have found no hard evidence that such an animal has ever stomped the earth. Yes, there are Federal Reserve Notes, which we all know about. But the bonds shown in the photograph are not those.

So what are they? Here's where we enter the land of high strangeness.

I found a surprisingly relevant YouTube video produced by a group of Asian religious fanatics. This video allegedly displays old Federal Reserve Bonds, dug up from an underground stash. You really must watch this video, because it has a direct impact on our tale. Sorry about the annoying music, but at least the Beethoven is nice:

At about the 1:26 mark, you'll see a rather soiled financial instrument that looks an awful lot like the ones pictured in the photo taken of the Italian job. There must be a connection.

So where did these bonds come from? This cache is attributed to "Queen Salvacion A. Legaspi," who, near as I can tell, heads up a cult in the Philippines. As you will recall, we have tentatively identified the two "Japanese" nationals as a pair of notorious high-level Filipino grifters.

And where did the Queen supposedly find all this stuff? I'm dying to hear her tale of treasure and adventure, which I'm sure will be very entertaining.

In a 2007 press release preserved here (but currently missing from her web site), she announced that she was keeping the bonds in a secret location but was willing to give them to President Bush because they were originally issued by the United States, long, long ago. Alas, the press release does not explain how she "found" them. The Queen also says that there are enough $500 million bonds to fill up an airplane.

One comment on the YouTube page refers to these Federal Reserve Bonds as

"...fakes. Not forgeries. Just plain fakes. You can find a lot of those things in the Philippines. From Yamashita's treasure maps to these so-called war bonds."

Side note: Over the past few decades, there have indeed been many maps floating around, allegedly identifying the location of Yamishita's gold, the legendary horde best described by someone doing an expert imitation of Sidney Greenstreet. Think of it! All the gold looted in Asia during World War II! So much gold that acknowledging it would force authorities to double their estimates of how much gold has existed in all of history! And not just gold but silver and jewels and other valuables!

Author Sterling Seagrave, whom I respect, says that the stolen war loot is or was real. Perhaps -- but that does not mean that the maps are real. Many a wild goose has been stalked.

End side note; back to our story. My internet research has uncovered a few references to "Federal Reserve Bonds" of 1934 vintage being stashed in the Philippines. As far as I can tell, these yarns are pure legend. If you know differently, feel free to educate us all.

(Recall that the queen says that she has enough of these $500 million bonds from 1934 to fill up an airplane. Hm. So what was the U.S. gross national product back in 1934...?)

One thing's for sure: Those Filipinos do love their buried treasure stories.

Are you curious to learn more about Queen Legaspi, possessor (printer?) of the bonds? Looks like she's latest incarnation of JC. (He keeps coming back...and back...) If you want to see her in action, she has a couple of silent videos up, here and here. Lo, it is written:

On this anointment as God's Chosen as Manifested on her saga, these collective of events are being put together as a proof of her events as the Anointed Spirit of God, and The Chosen One. In any of all the places she goes, wherever she was, the Tribal Leaders/ Lumads, Religious Organization Leaders, Islamic or Muslim group, had blessed her and appoint her to be their Queen. This all happened unknowingly what is to come in the future.

Translation: She's a toon. But she's a toon with money and political ambition, or so it would appear. A toon like Moon.

Except for this one video, which was produced by a bizarre Asian religious sect, I have seen no visual evidence that Federal Reserve Bonds exist.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in a 2005 announcement, says that

The Federal Reserve is aware of several scams involving high denomination Federal Reserve notes and bonds, often in denominations of 100 million or 500 million dollars, dating back to the 1930s, usually 1934. In each of these schemes, fraudulent instruments are claimed to be part of a long-lost supply of recently discovered Federal Reserve notes or bonds.

The Federal Reserve has never issued any bonds or notes with coupons attached. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not aware of any currency or debt stockpile of large denomination Federal Reserve notes from the 1930s and warns that any institution that pays out on such a claim does so at its own risk.

It should also be noted that the largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere!

The same page offers a warning about Riyadi (a.k.a Saurin), the likely culprit. And this Bloomberg story mentions that the bonds in the Italian cache supposedly date from 1934. (They sure look new in the photo! The ones in the video look aged. That sort of thing can be faked, of course.)

So not only are the bonds captured in Italy a probable hoax, the entire concept of a "Federal Reserve Bond" seems to be a myth. Nevertheless, such bonds did become a topic of discussion recently, within a section of the blogosphere not normally traversed by Cannonfire readers. On Lew Rockwell's site, one Michael Rozeff claims that

Rumor has it that the Federal Reserve is considering selling bonds. The legality is in question. Leaving that aside, why would the Fed do such a thing? If it did, how would such a thing work? What would be its effects?

Rozeff goes on from there, and it's all pretty interesting. But he speaks of the Federal Reserve Bond as a theoretical construct. Such things do not yet exist -- and may never exist, since they are probably not allowed by the law which created the Federal Reserve.

So: What are our options? Can we cobble together a revised theory of the Italian mystery, based on all of this additional information?

1. The Italian news story got it wrong. They used the term "Federal Reserve Bond" incorrectly; the financial instruments are actually bearer bonds.

This theory has one big problem: That damned video! The bonds captured by the Italians look exactly like the bonds pictured in the video, and they are clearly marked "Federal Reserve Bonds." The bonds in the video -- which has a terribly unpersuasive provenance -- are probably fake.

Yet the Italian authorities (according to the German article) lean toward the theory that these bonds are not counterfeit. Not only that: In their first press release, the Italians said that the bonds were virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. How could they make such a claim if Federal Reserve Bonds do not even exist?

2. The bonds are real. Maybe there is such a creature as a Federal Reserve Bond. It's not just a theoretical possibility; they've been around for decades. But they are traded on a very august level, far from the sight of we ordinary mortals. Thus, there is no mention of this type of bond in Wikipedia or on any other "respectable" web site. The Federal Reserve of New York is lying when it claims that such bonds do not exist.

Is that theory possible? If you say "Yes," then perhaps you also think that space lasers destroyed the twin towers.

3. "We got a great big con-job; ain't it a beautiful sight?" Our pals Wilfredo and Joseph decided to put together their own cache of fake financial instruments, probably using the same printing press which "Queen Salvacion A. Legaspi" used. Why? Perhaps their intent was not to negotiate the bonds but to use them to fleece the gullible. There are lots of ways a con artist can cause mischief if he can convince a dupe that he (the conster) has a lot of money.

So why did the Italians say that the bonds are indistinguishable from real?

As noted earlier, under Italian law, the government gets-a to keep-a 40 percent-a da money -- if the bonds are genuine financial instruments.

Maybe Berlusconi somehow got wind of what Wilfredo and Joe-Joe were up to -- hey, SISMI is not entirely useless -- and decided to turn the situation to his advantage. Maybe he decided to put the bonds in a bank and simply credit the money to a government account. (Berlusconi to bank officer: "These bonds are real. You want proof? My pal Vito the leg-breaker will give you proof.") Like magic, fake money becomes genuine coin.

But is such a thing possible? Could Silvio Berlusconi falsely label fake bonds real, stash them in a government bank account, and then start singing the Italian version of "We're in the money"?

Again, it all seems highly unlikely. Of course, Silvio's whole life has been one massive experiment in unlikelihood.

the polemicist

The two "Japanese" ( actually both were Filipinos ) arrested in Italy recently reportedly with $134.5 billion worth of F.R.N. s, ( THE AMOUNT WAS IN FACT SOME FIVE HUNDRED BILLION IN CERTIFICATES ) were also carrying a series of documents signed by the likes of Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke with federal reserve logos and stamps embossed, signed and witnessed .　The two were released after proving their credentials, and were released because they were carrying genuine diplomatic passports. The Pictures of the documents they carried are attached and we would like to hear some expert opinion on their contents (somebody is preventing us from uploading more than one picture).

According to the official story put out to the corporate media, the Treasuries were forgeries (no doubt they will say the same about the documents pictured here) but if that is the case, why were the people carrying the "forgeries" immediately released, by extreme persons in high places in Italy, who had the power to silence Prime Minister Belosconi ?

The truth is the Treasury certificates they carried were legitimate and are now in the safe hands of a new financial system. The instruments will be used to finance part of a Program at ending war, poverty and environmental destruction. It will also be used to develop previously forbidden technology. We may see some visible changes as early as next week as they carry out the new banking paradigms being incorporated, but, not with out resistance from the old abusive Wall street guard .

Bernanke's latest check has bounced but, as mentioned before, things will drag on to the September 30 secret fiscal year end then all hell will break out as the financial world, takes a ninety degree down-turn . The information above comes from very highly placed sources.

Ben; would you care to comment on what Tom Hennegan released today:

"P.S. We can now report that the two (2) Japanese citizens arrested on the Swiss-Italian border possessing $134 BILLION in U.S. Treasury gold certificate bonds, were carrying North Korean diplomatic passports supplied to them by the U.S. State Department under the direct supervision of current dysfunctional U.S. Secretary of State, sociopath loser and lesbian in-the-closet Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton."

Let me add I have never totally trusted Hennegan's intel, and I do not care for his sensational comments about people's irrelevant sex lives. I suspect he is used, perhaps without his knowledge, as a source of disinformation about certain important matters, in order to discredit more correct reports by others. Yet he does perform an important service by exposing the degree of massive corruption in DC.

After I read your article, I understood something that I had wanted not to believe. The fact is that there will be global governance. It has been made inevitable by the greed, kleptomania and myopia of the cabal of spoiled trust fund babies running the US and the UK. Because they cannot understand that it is their abuse of the world at large and their insatiable lust for EVERYTHING of value that makes it impossible to reform them. I hate to admit it, but without global enforcement of some type, these lunatics will not stop. They really expect the rest of us to believe that it is the billions of POVERTY STRICKEN PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE CREATED THAT ARE CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING. (actually nobody is causing it, but some people are making climate worse) How can billions of people, many of whom live in huts without running water, electricity or sewage and without cars be responsible for producing millions of tons of CO2? How can people who cultivate the earth with people power, oxen and other unpowered tools and no nitrogenous fertilizers be creating lots of NO2 and CO2 pollution? Even if their oxen flatulated all day long, they would not be approaching the amount of warming produced by the agribusinesses owned by the 'elite."

It is time that we held these idiots accountable for their many stupid decisions. Every decision that they made for their own benefit has had an unforeseen and terrible consequence. They did not want to honor the laws of the commons because it might deprive them of a few pennies of profit off the oil that they bought for a nickel a barrel for decades. They freely dumped volatile organic compounds in the waterways, air and land. When that proved to be disastrous for the ecology of the earth, they wanted the rest of us to pay to clean it up. If they had just not dumped it in the first place, everyone would have been better off. They wanted the nuclear bomb so they could dominate the earth. They even used it on a country that was trying to surrender JUST TO SHOW THEIR POWER. We are all still suffering from the radioactive dust that was released by that stupid move. It will take millions of years to clear the earth of the effects of radioactive isotopes. Again, this was the "ELITES" bad decision.

I could go on and on, but I think that you get the idea. The people of the United States want to restrain these people, but they have bought off so many Congressmen, Senators, intelligence people and the highest levels of most government agencies that there is not much hope for justice or restoring accountability to US government. Without accountability, the US government is very very dangerous to everyone, not just Americans, to the entire world. I can see that now.

Posted by: pUre Warrior | 07/12/2009 at 00:04

Hi, Benjamin...

I understand that Wilfredo Saurin, a Filipino 'playboy' of sorts, has been the appointed 'trustee' of the former Suharto/Sukarno (Soekarno) gold and in essence, is a major power player in S.E. Asia as a result. This information has been out there for more than a year. It would be interesting to know if he was one of the two arrestees. Likely not, but it would be revealing to know who the couriers were. I shudder at the thought that a major portion of those funds belongs to a foundation that's fighting to have those funds which, by the way, are legitimate and to be used for kick starting what you've described. I suspect that Saurin might be considered a nemesis of H.E. Dr. Ray C. Dam of UNOITC fame. Many say that the UNOITC is a ruse. If so, why do they have an address listed at 1133 Connecticut Ave., Washington, D.C.? By the way, Alan Greenspan has an office in the same building. Feel free to follow up for more particulars. Keep up the good work.

フルフォードさん。
もう少し常識で納得出来る情報を発表してくださいよ。そもそもフィリピン人と中国人がどうして日本人としての外交官パスポートが持てるのですか。それにそのお金を世界の為になる良いことに使うのなら、堂々と事前に発表して米国債を換金するでしょう。

それに、イタリアからの発表では、日本人の一人は私が前に書いた通り山内恒夫だと言っているではありませんか。逮捕された二人を米国債を持たせて釈放したという事実から、日本と米国両政府からの要請があったからである事は自明でしょう。日銀が二人に持たせたのだから、ベルナンキのサイン入りの正式文書を持っていて当然です。私が今まで読んだ記事で最も信憑性の高いのは

です。米国の傀儡である自民党が９月の選挙で起死回生する為の闇資金を作ろうとして、日銀がFRBに交渉し、以前に秘密に米国政府に無理矢理買わされた債券を密かに換金して欲しいと頼みこんだのだと私は思います。

フィリピンと中国の外交官旅券をもっていたのですぐ釈放された…なぜ最初日本人と報道されたのですか？イタリア警察が逮捕したのですから、身分ぐらいは正しく報道去るはずですが？

Hi Benjamin,

if this is real, than a part of the money should be spent to support honest truth seekers in the west. 134,5 bilion is a lot of money. If they would only spent one bilion dollar each year to support the truth movement in western countries like Germany, this would have an enormouse impact. More and more people are looking through the matrix of the ruling illuminati slave system. This process should be accellerated. (If you need a contact person in Germany, I would offer myself)

Best Regards,

Sokrates

and

More about the OITC

The man in charge of the secret organization known as the Office of International Treasury Control (IOTC) is R.C. Dan. Dan claims to be a Cambodian Prince and now lives in the Thai Royal family complex in Bangkok, Thailand. The man known to us as whistleblower is an Australian who used to work for him. The U.S. educated Mr. Dan claims special privileges in the Senate and the House by the United Nations. These may have been granted but then again it is hard to find many treaties or agreements the U.S. has not broken. He claims to be the sole arbiter, owner and controller of the The international collateral combined accounts of the global debt facility. He also claims to have 3^rd to 5^th level security clearance granted to him by the U.S. Congress. Dan was appointed in 1995 as the sole arbiter for the Bank of International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland. He also has the codes for 60 types of special "debt instruments" connected to a complex combination of countries, treaties, banks and other financial institutions. Most of these are now in deep trouble because of the quadrillions of dollars of toxic financial products based on nothing but fiat (out of nothing) money. So long as the Ponzi scheme known as Wall street collapses and economic discipline is imposed, the whole mess can be cleared up within 3 years.
These so-called "debt instruments" were created by the U.S. treasury department over the years and given to countries that have trade surpluses with the U.S. There are, for example, special sets of boxes specific only to certain countries or institutions.

The problem is that after nearly a century of issuing these debt boxes, the chickens are coming home to roost. President Obama tried at the recent G8 plus 5 meeting in Italy to borrow more money than George Bush junior did in 8 years. He was told a resounding no. The result should be total economic chaos in the U.S. by September 30^th. The good news for the Americans is that it is not the U.S. that is bankrupt but rather a corporation known as the United States of America Corporation headquartered in the independent statelet known as Washington D.C. Once the Feds go down the drain of history, the American people will be provided with extremely generous funding to rebuild their industry and develop suppressed technology. The Pentagon will also be given generous funding to help it transform itself into a more benevolent organization. In the meantime, we know the Feds are not going to go quietly into the night so we have to be extremely vigilant in stopping whatever crazy thing they try next. The question for Mr. Dan is, when are you going to go public and tell the world the truth?

from WHISTLEBLOWER: "THE BONDS WERE TO BE UTILIZED IN A SIMILAR MANNER TO WHAT HAPPENED TO RUSSIA IN THE LATE 80s & 90s"

In Response To: Benjamin Fulford: SECRET WAR BETWEEN THE ROYAL FAMILIES WITH REAL TREASURE AND THE ARISTOCRATS WITH PRINTNG PRESSES (hobie)

from Whistleblower - yellow highlighted text is comprised of quotes from the post of Fulford's blog entry:

=====

Dear Hobie,

Benjamin Fulford's article:-

"Here's Benjamin Fulford's blog entry for Jun 24: About the $134.5 billion bonds found in Italy and the secret financial system"

is an excellent one for which I need to respond to with some additions and small corrections.

First of all people need to realize that there are two sets of books used in global finance: the "official" data put out by government agencies etc. and the secret financial arrangements used between sovereign entities (countries as well as organizations). When members of the British and Japanese royal families first contacted me and started talking about thousands of trillions of dollars, I thought they were bonkers. Officially world GDP is $55 trillion so their numbers seemed impossible. However, after meeting multiple sources ranging from freemasons, to yakuza, to MI6 to Japanese security police, to CIA etc. I can now confirm there is a secret financial system whose total worth is "quintillions of dollars." I think the numbers got this big as a result of some sort of ridiculous contest to see who had the largest penis among the folk who control the printing presses for dollars and euros etc.

Effectively two (2) systems with one so big that people can not comprehend it, but totally real.

In any case, the bonds found in Italy are connected to a massive operation that took place in the Far East before and during WW2. Part of that involved the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. When the Japanese invaded Manchuria in 1931 the owners of the Federal Reserve Board contacted the Chinese emperor and said "the Japanese are about to steal the treasure you have in Manchuria. How about we take that treasure to the Philippines for safe keeping? In exchange we will give you 70-year US government bonds that you can use to buy stuff from around the world."

The emperor agreed to the deal and the Americans started issuing huge numbers of bonds backed by the emperor's gold. To keep these shenanigans out of the US public eye, they printed the bonds in the Philippines. Some of these bonds are the ones the two Japanese were carrying in Italy.

This is largely correct, however these are not the Bonds ($134.5 bill USD) discovered in Italy.

In his statement above, Benjamin is referring to a different type of Bond. What Benjamin states about the Japanese, Chinese Manchurians and the USA is totally correct, whereby this was a private arrangement between two Nations. The Bonds issued, and as referred to, are not the same as the ones discovered in Italy. They are very similar, and do contain a coupon, but are of a different size and the content is different. These were issued (if my memory is correct) between 1927 and 1937. Another striking point is that there are numerous spelling mistakes and several letters, or words, dislodged from the main line of flow. This was not by accident but deliberate and allows the US to deny liability on the basis that the Bonds are fake / forged because no Government would make such mistakes in such a Certificate.

We do have copies of these bonds within our archives, although they are nothing to do with us or the Collateral Accounts of the Global Debt Facility. When practically possible I will pull them out and post them.

The Bonds discovered in Italy (photograph below) are definitely 1933/34 Debt Obligation Certificates issued by the USA in President Roosevelt's time. Other details on these I have previously posted.

They have been confirm as genuine by the US Treasury Expert, but the US Treasury will publicly state (the usual and always the same) that they are Fakes and Forgeries.

We can also confirm that this was a "Black Ops" whereby the Bonds were to be utilized (illegally of course, as they are part of the Collateral Accounts) in a similar manner to that which happened to Russia in the late 80's with Glasnost, Peristroyka, and the decimation of Russia in the 90's.

The "Target" country this time …….. one of the Middle East countries. Now if readers observe the present day news and put two and two together, it should not be difficult for anyone to come up with the answer of 4 on this one.

the emperor made his deal with the Feds he asked them what would happen when the bonds came due and the Feds refused to pay back the principal. He was told US criminal authorities would take action.

This is basically correct. They were 70 year Maturity Bonds with the majority due for payment in Gold in 2001 onwards.

The grandson had many other treasures in addition to the one taken to the Philippines and so he sued the Feds using top lawyers. A giant investigation was set up in the US involving the Treasury police, the Naval Office of Investigations, the FBI and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities. When first bonds came due for redemption on September 12, 2001, they were set to move against the Feds.

Not correct. The Chinese Treasures, including the majority of the Ming Dynasty Treasure are all part of the Collateral Accounts under the China Foundation and the Mae Hua Trust. Yes, a substantial part of this was secreted away in the Philippines from 1920 onwards, including during the years of World War II. The part(s) which did not go to the Philippines went in the opposite direction to another country.

The Chinese Emperors and their descendents are fully aware of this and are fully aware that China was a Primary Signatory to the numerous International Treaties relative to all of this. However, there are elements of Chinese Society (some claim they are descendents of the Ming Dynasty) that can never accept what their forefathers did at the time, and even today these descendents illegally lay claim to these treasures and openly, but wrongly, state that they control these treasures.

The Collateral Accounts are controlled by the International Treasury Controller, not the Chinese, whether part of the Ming Dynasty or otherwise.

There is now a secret war going on between the royal families who have real treasure (the British, the Chinese, the Thai etc.) and the aristocratic families who own dollar and Euro printing presses. At stake is the future of this planet.

This is basically correct but I feel that the "Aristocrat" part should receive more definition as it includes not just Aristocrats, but also Elitists, Heads of Secret Societies, Groups and Organizations that are more in the public eye and for which readers here will be well aware of.

The owners of the real treasure want to start a new financial system backed by metals and start a campaign to permanently end war, poverty and environmental destruction. The owners of the money printing presses want to continue their cycle of perpetual war and terror in order to keep control over humanity.

True, and the
Collateral Accounts are linked to the former of these. Having seen the proposals for a new Financial System and new International Monetary Unit, I can say that my own opinion is one where the new system will bring a balance to the world, will ultimately remove a large portion of poverty from the World, or eliminate it completely, and allow countries to be Financially Independent without any control by duress or other means, from external sources.

The Japanese arrested in Italy were part of that secret war and they were released immediately and sent on their way with their bonds.

This is something I have explained and detailed to a point, above.

It is correct that they were released. Our Intell confirms they were under Diplomatic Protection and therefore could not be held or charged. The Bonds, well that is a different matter, because they were sent to the US for examination and verification, not released with the Italians. The US Treasury has still to issue its finding to the Italian authorities, but one thing for sure is that publicly they will be referred to as "Fake or Forgeries".

There is so much contradictory information from the Italian Treasury Police, MI6 and Japanese military intelligence sources that I cannot say whose side these guys were on. I am just glad the astronomical numbers released to the corporate media created cognitive dissonance among the still brain washed.

"Contradictory Information" is an understatement. There is far too much of it, hence why I write this to ensure the Facts and Truth are made available to the Public. If they do not believe it, or don't want to believe it, that is their prerogative, but at least the truth and facts are there for all to see.

On a final point. Did anyone ever wonder, or ever have any idea, as to what the financial outcome would have been had these Bonds been utilized to support a long term Trade via Switzerland. The overall returns would have realized approximately $30 trillion USD. One wonders therefore what this money would have been used for, or, who may have been the recipient(s) this money.

Now the readers here should be able to put another 2 and 2 together, making a straightforward and simple 4. and start to realize how this World got into the astronomic Financial mess that it is in, and how, and by whom, allowed it to get into this astronomical mess.

Regards

Whistleblower.

Whistleblower: Response on Rumor Mill News re "DG's" Remarks on the $134.5B in Bonds
By Whistleblower: An agent of the OITC
Jul 12, 2009, 21:35

DG:
Please consider: REFERENCING THE VALIDITY OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS CARRIED BY WILFREDO SAURIN AND HIS COMRADE
Date: Friday, 10-Jul-2009 15:05:03

'I do not desire to discredit Benjamin Fulford on the contents of his posting because much of what Benjamin states, in his postings, has real foundation.

However, I feel that on this one there is a little confusion, probably in the way Benjamin's informant relayed this to Benjamin, which has resulted in the mixing of information within itself.

The first thing for me to say is that I will stick solidly to the content of my previous posting on this as it was based upon real documented intell information made available to us, which was further supported by Reuters, the first news service who released the story publicly and the Italian Police statement

Both Reuters and the Italian Police clearly stated that the persons involved were Japanese. On this issue, there is a big difference in visible characteristics between Japanese and Filipino, whereby I am of the opinion that the Immigration Police and Financial Police of Italy, after viewing of the passports of these two persons and from visible inspection, would not be confused as to the Nationality of these two people. If it was Chinese as to Japanese I could understand some confusion, but Filipino as to Japanese is as different as chalk and cheese especially if you look at the photographs posted. The information we have on the Japanese is from official intell sources which does in fact coincide with the statements of the Italian Police and Reuters.

That being said, I did state that there was a third person (There may have been others) with these two Japanese who was carrying a Diplomatic Passport and that the two Japanese were under Diplomatic protection. We still do not know who that third person is, as the names of Diplomatic passport holders are rarely released until the applicable country authorizes such a release of information.

Let me now refer to Wilfredo Saurin. We are fully aware of Wilfredo Saurin and of the fact that for many years he has attempted to utilize instruments such as the 1933/34 FR Bonds and other assets that he obtains from his many contacts in the Philippines. Yes, Wilfredo Saurin is Filipino as are many of his associates, but Wilfredo Saurin lives, and has done for many years, in Bangkok.

I stated in my previous post on this that the two Japanese did actually stay in Bangkok for a period of 2 weeks before traveling on to Italy on an Alitalia flight.

It may therefore be practical and possible that the two Japanese made contact with Wilfredo Saurin in Bangkok, and obtained the FR Bonds during that contact time. It may also be that Wilfredo Saurin flew with the Japanese to Italy, but he does not have a Diplomatic Passport. This is only my opinion as we do not yet have any information that would support this, but logically it makes sense.

We are also aware that in approximately 2004/5 Wilfredo Saurin claims he holds a letter from the Federal Reserve granting him appointed, by the Federal Reserve, to handle the assets of the Collateral Accounts.

I have not seen this letter, but one of our officers has. We can not state whether this is a forgery, fake, or actually real.

If real, it brings into question many issues, the main one being that the Federal Reserve hold no authority whatsoever over the Collateral Accounts or any part thereof, so what are they doing issuing a Letter of Authority to a person, no matter who that person is, granting such authority. The Federal Reserve know very well who the Legal Heir and Owner is of the Collateral Accounts, and they also know that legally they are obliged to undertake the instructions of the Legal Heir and Owner of the Collateral Accounts, failure of which would be construed as fraudulent activity on the part of the Federal Reserve. To supplement that point, Wilfredo Saurin is not engaged by the OITC and does not hold any authority issued by the Legal Heir and Owner of the Collateral Accounts.

If the aforementioned letter is fake, then it compliments the illicit activities of these people, or the people involved.

Wilfredo Saurin also claims that he is the legal Heir of the Sultan of Sulu, being the son born to one of the previous Sultan's Filipino wives. Whether this is true or not I have no idea and wouldn't waste my time on researching this based upon the person involved.

In respect of DG's comments

a). In order for Bernanke and Smith to sign for a 'bank instrument confirmation' they would need to have possession of the original instrument, which this confirmation letter is based upon?

If they had the original instrument(s), the US Treasury Notes of 1933/34, then they have committed fraud (goes without saying, but I said it).

I could not agree more with this comment. Bernanke and Smith would be fully aware of who the real owners were of these instruments (1933/34 FR Bonds), and should have confiscated them immediately upon receipt. There again, we are use to the fraudulent activities of the Federal Reserve, both generally and in respect of assets of the Collateral Accounts, so what is claimed they did is not surprising or unusual as far as we are concerned.

b). If you read this article here: http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2009/06/mystery-bonds-enter-cult-now-it-gets.html you will find that Saurin has been known to do this in the past as well. So what we have here is a classic money laundering case involving the Federal Reserve.

Not only Money Laundering, but Fraud, Wire Transfer Fraud, Criminal Deception, and all by what should be a respectable institution working under the rules of the BIS in the protection and stable operation of the country's financial system. I believe Bernanke and Smith have actually incited a criminal action, been part of it, and on the basis on issuing that Letter of Confirmation (if real) have actually self confessed to the crime.

c). The Federal Reserve Bank instrument confirmation letter refers to two US Treasury cheques numbers. Are these separate instruments from those confiscated in Italy? Or are they instruments layered against the US
Treasury notes 1933/34 confiscated in Italy?

Confusion here. The Federal Reserve confirmation Letter refers to US Treasury Cheques. Wait a minute, the Federal Reserve is in no position to confirm US Treasury Cheques,. Confirmation should be through the US Treasury. Two separate legal entities, one a private organization (Federal Reserve) and the other being a Government Authority / organization (US Treasury). That smells worse than a mountain of raw sewage.

As a guess, irrespective of the above but based upon knowledge and experience, I would say that to cover up the illegal use of the 1933/34 FR Bonds, other instruments would be issued against them and then a bank somewhere would receive Swift verification from the Federal Reserve (acting on behalf of the US Treasury as their Client), enabling the Bank, once verified, to issue a credit line against the new instruments.

d). The letter is dated May 11, 2006. Have the funds made available to Raiffeisen Bank beneficiary Matthias Supersberger been utilized in any manner? For example, an illegal bank-trading program, sometimes referred to as High Yield Investment Program (HYIP)? If they have, Leo Wanta would be impressed.

More than likely based upon our knowledge of how these frauds work. Supersberger ……. Sounds like something out of McDonalds rather than a legitimate person. I would certainly investigate that factor.

e). Benjamin Fulford makes the claim that the managers of the new financial system will utilize these funds for the ending of wars and other humanitarian projects? These funds may have been generated in an illegal manner using the fiat system. Since it is the goal of many that the new system is gold backed, why would a fiat currency be used in this manner? Any comments?

If Benjamin is referring to the proposed new Financial System that we have designed, I can say that we do not need to even think about trading and using the funds accordingly. The assets of the Collateral Accounts would cover what was required, hundreds of times over, and still leave substantial change on account.

I can only assume therefore that some Chinese Group that Benjamin knows about is also proposing a new Financial System using some assets somewhere to generate further funds out of "Trading" to support their proposals.

Excuse me, but that is not what "Trading Programs' are for. If that is the case, then bring on the IMF and World Bank who are desperate for money and have just received, or about to receive, and extra $500 bill USD in "TAXPAYERS" money to support them. Let them use the "Trading Programs" instead of always putting the onus on the "TAXPAYER"

Even if such "Programs" were allowed for such use, the generated funds would be "Fiat" money with no intrinsic value or backing, which in turn would only support the existing "Fiat" Financial System which all of us appreciate is structurally destroyed and generally beyond repair.

Maybe that is exactly what Bernanke / US Government, is trying to do. Support the existing dysfunctional system by illegal means using someone else's assets through "Trading Programs", thus protecting the Federal Reserve and its elitist / banking supporters as well as a Financial System that is corrupt and benefits only a very small portion of society.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is so much going on behind the scenes at the moment that no one knows what new Fairy Tales the Federal Reserve and US Government are going to come up with next.

It's like the recent G8 communiqué and Obama's visit to Ghana. Suddenly there is going to be a few billion USD thrown around to help Africa support itself by investing in Agriculture, etc. That is in 2009, when in 2005 our proposals for Africa submitted to the G8 were discarded and ignored. Those proposals would have seen $900 bill USD injected into Africa by the OITC whereby many countries would be well on their way to recovery by now, but no, the Politicians must have their way and get their "Brownie Points" for re-election next time.

Japanese Nationals with Diplomatic Immunity?

07/20/09 10:38:26

Wilfredo Saurin gets a visit from two Japanese nationals with diplomatic immunity at his location in Bangkok Thailand? The nationals take the Federal Reserve 1933/34 bonds and then take a flight to Italy, then a train ride north into Switzerland? There may have been a third man pulled off the train stopped by Italian authorities? Somebody knew they were coming?

Wilfredo Saurin is known but never arrested? According to the document in this thread actually has an account with the Federal Reserve Bank in New York? Also according to the Fed document signed by Chairman Bernanke, a Mr. Matthias Supersberger is beneficiary of the $1B Fed Confirmation Bank Letter sent to Saurin and Supersberger?

Here is what I want to know. (1)Why were the Japanese nationals traveling with the original FR Bonds? (2)Why was nobody arrested and charged? Japanese nationals were released without being charged or for that matter rigorously questioned? (3)This is a long shot, but can anybody verify the authenticity of the Fed document?

This is a highly sophisticated black ops financing scheme, another question would be, what were the funds going to be used for?

Scams Involving the Federal Reserve Name

Scam Involving the Use of Actual Federal Reserve Bank of New York Employees' Names in Unsolicited E-mails
April 2009

Please be alert to a fraudulent scam involving individuals who claim to be actual Federal Reserve Bank of New York employees in unsolicited e-mails to defraud the public.

In most versions of the scam, the fraudster poses as a Federal Reserve Bank of New York employee and falsely claims that the individual contacted has millions of dollars on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Then the fraudster tries to get the individual to pay a fee, sometimes $950, in order to obtain these (fictitious) funds. The fee will be stolen by the fraudster, and no funds will be provided to person paying this fee.

Click to see various samples of this fraudulent scheme:

Sample Fraud 1 ›› (pdf - 1,235 kb)
Sample Fraud 2 ›› (pdf - 1,286 kb)
Sample Fraud 3 ›› (pdf - 203 kb)
Sample Fraud 4 ›› (pdf - 147 kb)
Sample Fraud 5 ›› (pdf - 630 kb)
Sample Fraud 6 ›› (pdf - 4,767 kb)

Details of this Fraud Scheme
In many instances, the fraudster claims that the (fictitious) funds were "with-held due to improper and un-official payment documentations, lack of proper verification documents from the beneficiary to ascertain the legality, source/origin and authenticity of these funds." The fraudster claims that their need for proper documentation will require the payment of a fee, which is then stolen by the fraudster.

These e-mails are part of an elaborate scam to lure the public into making payments to the scammer for fictitious documents that the scammer claims are necessary to release the (fictitious) funds. The fraudster often claims that to obtain payment of these funds, the individual must remit a "Subsidized Charge" fee, sometimes in the amount of $950, for a "Payment Documentation / Payment Confirmation" service. Other times the scammer asks for a fictitious "Tax Clearance Receipt" which allegedly "will officially enable and allow us officially to release your payment to you."The fraudster usually requests that the funds be sent via Western Union or Money Gram. These systems allow the fraudster to pick up the fee in various jurisdictions around the world, even though the remitter believes that the funds are being picked up in New York by an employee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The fraudulent scheme includes multiple documents purportedly signed by various senior officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The e-mails usually contain sham e-mail addresses and phone numbers that are not assigned to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In some instances, these documents request personal information from the individuals receiving the e-mails, possibly for identity theft purposes. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not maintain accounts or funds on deposit for individuals, or non- financial institutions. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will never send an e-mail asking for personal information.

If you are contacted in an unsolicited e-mail claiming that you have funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or have information regarding this fraud please contact Robert Amenta, Senior Special Investigator at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He can be reached at the following e-mail address:report.fraud@ny.frb.org

Scam Involving Fraudulent Checks Purporting to be From a University of Illinois Account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
March 2009

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has recently become aware of a large number of fraudulent checks presented for processing through the Federal Reserve system. The checks purport to be from the University of Illinois and bear a Tampa, Florida address, rather than an Illinois address. These sham checks claim to be drawn on a University of Illinois account allegedly maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, routing number 021001208.

These sham checks are usually made out to individuals in the United States in amounts between $3,500 and $4,800. It appears that these checks originate from overseas. In some instances the checks are received by individuals trying to sell items on eBay or craigslist. In those instances, the checks received by the sellers are in amounts exceeding the cost of the goods, with the "Purchaser" requesting that the seller remit the overage back to the buyer, less a small fee for their inconvenience. In other instances, "new employees" are solicited to engage in check cashing activities, keeping a fee and remitting the remainder via a money remitter.

These checks are fraudulent. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not offer commercial account services of this type.

If you receive a check purporting to be from a University of Illinois account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or have information regarding this fraud please contact Robert Amenta, Senior Special Investigator at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Federal Reserve Board alerts public to instances of questionable solicitations directed at consumers
November 2008

The Federal Reserve Board on November 4 alerted the public to instances of questionable solicitations directed at consumers. These solicitations promise consumers access to personal loans through a nonexistent Federal Reserve lending program.

Under this fraudulent scheme, targeted individuals are told that that they can work through a broker to access a Federal Reserve program that extends sizable secured loans to consumers. Consumers are encouraged to deposit large sums of money into a bank account, under the guise of a security deposit, in order to receive the purported loan. The Federal Reserve is advising consumers that it has no involvement in these solicitations and does not directly sponsor consumer lending programs. The matter has been referred to the appropriate authorities for action.

Consumers are strongly urged to verify the legitimacy of potential service providers before entering into a business transaction. Individuals seeking personal finance options are encouraged to do business only with reputable lenders and to shop around for the most favorable loan terms.

Scam Involving Yohannes Riyadi and/or Wilfredo Saurin
November 2007

The Federal Reserve is aware of a fraudulent scam involving individuals using the names Yohannes Riyadi and/or Wilfredo Saurin, or persons claiming to be representatives of these two men. In a typical version of this scam, Mr. Riyadi and/or his delegates falsely claim that they have on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York several U.S. Treasury Checks issued to Mr. Riyadi amounting to billions of dollars.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been contacted by several brokers and financial institutions worldwide inquiring about the validity of this fraudulent account documentation, which is being offered as collateral for lines of credit or other types of asset based financing. The fraudulent scheme includes multiple documents which purport to have the signatures of various Federal Reserve officials, including Chairman Ben Bernanke.

In some instances, individuals involved in this fraudulent scheme claim to have met with Federal Reserve officials and claim to have verified that the alleged account is in order. We have also learned that the fraud may include the purchase of certain documents by the introducing brokers.

If you have information regarding this fraud please contact either Robert Amenta, Special Investigator at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or Erik Rosenblatt, Senior Special Agent at the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Discovered 1930s Notes and Bonds
July 2005

The Federal Reserve is aware of several scams involving high denomination Federal Reserve notes and bonds, often in denominations of 100 million or 500 million dollars, dating back to the 1930s, usually 1934. In each of these schemes, fraudulent instruments are claimed to be part of a long-lost supply of recently discovered Federal Reserve notes or bonds.

Fraudsters often falsely claim that the purported Federal Reserve notes or bonds that they hold are somehow very special and are not known to the public because they are so secret. Fraudsters have attempted to sell these worthless instruments, or to redeem or exchange them at banks and other financial institutions, or to secure loans or obtain lines of credit using the fictitious instruments as collateral.

The Federal Reserve has never issued any bonds or notes with coupons attached. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is not aware of any currency or debt stockpile of large denomination Federal Reserve notes from the 1930s and warns that any institution that pays out on such a claim does so at its own risk.

It should also be noted that the largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934, through January 9, 1935, and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. The notes were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public.

Private Placement Programs/High Yield Investment Programs
July 2005

So-called high yield investment programs or "capital enhancement programs" purport to be highly secretive, very lucrative programs of investment in various financial instruments, such as medium term notes, standby letters of credit and "prime bank" guarantees. These fraudulent "programs" are presented as legitimate investment vehicles being offered by "invitation only" by the "U.S. Federal Reserve Bank."

Scam artists claim that proceeds from the programs are slated for investment, often abroad. Fictitious letters are often used to convince targets that the programs are legitimate.

Targets are told that in order to participate they must provide the scam artist with verification of large (usually multi-million dollar) deposits in a personal bank account, and to provide an enlarged color copy of the signature page of the target's passport. Scam artists give "guarantees," frequently in writing, that the money will remain in the target's account, under her sole control, throughout the term of the program.

The purpose of these schemes is to obtain enough information about the target to allow the scam artist to impersonate the target and take the money from the designated account.

Additional material and information that may be requested include a color photo, a reproducible copy of the target's signature and other key personal information, including a passport number, a personal bank account number, routing number and SWIFT code.

Employees of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve System do not offer investments to the general public. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve does not use any agents that are authorized to deal with the general public.

Development Investment Programs
January 2003

Numerous investment scams purport to "enhance assets" for project development. These scams often invoke the name of the Federal Reserve or cite Federal Reserve research.

The scam artist tries to convince a would-be investor to place his funds with an asset manager, who will enhance the investment while funding various humanitarian projects, such as building bridges in developing countries.

Federal Trading Program
July 2005

In this scam, a target is told that the Federal Reserve uses a "Federal Trading Program" to enhance the U.S. economy.

According to the scam artist's explanatory documents, participation in the program requires proving ownership of unencumbered assets worth $100 million or more. The target is told that these assets must then be transferred to a "safe keeping account," conveniently at the target's bank, where the target will have "complete access to [his/her] funds at all times."

Once the money is in this account, the Federal Reserve purportedly assigns a "federal trading number" so that the number of trades can be monitored. The Federal Reserve also purportedly will guarantee, in writing, the rate of return.

The purpose of the scheme is to obtain enough initial information about the target to allow the scam artist to impersonate him and take the money from the designated account.

World National Treasure found in Mindanao, Philippines

TREATY OF PARIS (Original Certificate of Title) - O.C.T.01-4

http://download.macromedi...ash.cab#version=6,0,40,0 height=280 width=320 classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>

Her Majesty Salvacion A. Legaspi, the Head Elder and the Founder of The Gospel Ministry of the Holy Spirit for Salvation (GMHSS) and United Humanitarian Organization Philippines Inc. (UHO P.Inc), after press conference in Cagayan de Oro, which was done and moderated by the Cagayan de Oro Press Club last July 8, 2007, she invited all the press people to make a documentary report, on a tri-media level, of the National treasured found in Mindanao or in the entire Philippines, so that the help for Humanitarian Aid for the poverish country and people in need and for the service of the Ministry and Humanitarian Aid for God's people and country and to propagate the Righteousness of God!

She asked us to help her on sending a news coverage nationwide and international coverage as well. She tried to send letters to the countries involved including United Nation General Secretary Bank Moon, during the ASEAN Summit in the Philippines last July 29, to August 2, 2007 including all charter nations and the President of the Philippines and Supreme Court of Justice.

She also accepted and was not even surprised why no one accommodated her petition, instead she gave me a nod and a smile, why nobody is entertaining her plea.

Then she added, it is okey, for everything is written in the scriptures, it must happen first, otherwise the scripture can not justify God's wrath to the people, to those who are disobedient and can not follow the laws of God and even the laws written by men, and how can they follow the words which was written by God himself?

The Words that come from heaven? Let us be real! Today, everything is Biblical! Doomsday is present, Rapture they call it!

Scripture also called it "End of Time" and "the event and of the destruction of the world" and the present and the rising of the Son of God!

But I wanted the people to know that the Light of the World is now present?!

That there is a New Beginning for the people who are not blind and deaf?

Those who live in the dark that there is no Light?

To those who reverence God. That the dead can now be resurrected? That life everlasting will be here to those who follow and reconcile with the truth!

The Heaven is here on earth? You do not have to die physically, but just in spirit and be resurrected with the Truth and the Light of God!

God is Life and evil is Death! So, who wants to die now? At least not me, for God told me how good is the Hero, the Hero is Dead! So, let us keep alive! We are only terrified because God is already not present in our lives. We are used to practice worshiping a dead God!

God is for the Living not for the Dead! We pray to God to have extended life, but we do not and can not accept to have a Living God!

Now is the fulfillment of the promise of inheritance and eternal life here on earth. And the Judgment day!

That this lost treasure is not really lost and it is now found! It just waited for the right time when God already can present and appear publicly to world!

And the world is ready to accept it, only then this will be opened and I hope it will be soon so people can all live and be in the praise and glory of God! So be it!

You ever notice how in the last year or so, all these royal bloodlines suddenly pop up? While their at it, I am a royal descendant of Alexander the Great. Yes, that's it.

Seriously, though, the Fed and the UST have no choice but to deny it. Wilfredo Saurin's location has been known for at least the last few years, if he were a common criminal he would have been arrested a long time ago. He is a free man today, as are the Japanese nationals. It was an exotic route these chaps took to get to Switzerland, a rather bothersome path to transport 'fakes'.

U.S. Authorities Probing $100 Billion of Bonds Seized in Italy

By Sonia Sirletti and Elisa Martinuzzi

Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Secret Service is examining more than $100 billion of U.S. government bonds confiscated in northern Italy in August, just two months after $134 billion of allegedly fake securities were seized in a nearby town.

The Secret Service is analyzing whether the bonds taken in August may be counterfeit, said a spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Rome. Italy's financial police in Varese, north of Milan, arrested two individuals carrying the securities in a briefcase, according to a person involved in the case.

The two men currently are in custody as prosecutors in the town of Busto Arsizio carry out their investigation, the person said. The seized notes include securities with face values of $500 million and $1 billion, Italian daily MF reported today, without saying where it got the information.

"There must be a well-organized group behind these alleged crimes," Fabio Polimeni, a Milan lawyer specializing in counterfeiting cases, said.

Italian authorities seized U.S. treasuries on June 4 with a face value of more than $134 billion from two Japanese travelers attempting to cross into Switzerland. The two men later disappeared and the case is still under investigation. The U.S. government bonds found in the false bottom of a suitcase carried by the men were fake, a U.S. Treasury spokesman said June 18.

"As financial markets become more sophisticated, creative and bigger, we can expect criminal activity to go with it and it's happening everywhere," Livia Oglio, a Milan lawyer, said. "The amount seized is phenomenal."

Since the beginning of the year the police at border stations in Italy have seized 1.7 million euros of genuine money and bonds, and have confiscated more than 100 million euros of bonds that have been determined to be false, according to an Italian finance police statement in July.
