Well said sir or madam. I was thinking the same thing. There is so much proof of the CIA doing this, why is there no investigation... oh that's right, the government is "do as I say, not as I do".edit on 23-3-2013 by Catalyst317 because: (no reason given)

Seriously.. there are moments I wish ATS didn't have the bad bad history with drug topics they do for the T&C they had to develop on it. This is sure one of them. It sounds like a very interesting topic and one that doesn't shock me, given who is said to be pushing it for hard currency return.

I'd say it does need taken seriously because he has all the ability to do it. Any nation state can, of course. I've just never actually heard one using it in quite THIS way before. That's a new one...and a disturbing one, at that.

Well i dont know what to make of this, its something i would have never expected. This is either some major BS propaganda or NK are taking a leaf out of the CIA's "how to make quick illegal money" manual.
Things just get weirder and weirder. What do you think ATSers?, more propaganda? or are they really looking at all options before they have to strike?.
