I had the biggest put down of my life from my noble friend Lord Strathclyde when I told him this story. He said, "Why you? You're not important enough to have the answer to a question like that". He is quite right, I am not important enough, but the answer to the next question was, "You haven't got the experience for it". Yes I do. I have had one of the biggest experiences in the laundering of terrorist money and funny money that anyone has had in the City. I have handled billions of pounds of terrorist money.
Not into my pocket. My biggest terrorist client was the IRA and I am pleased to say that I managed to write off more than £1 billion of its money. I have also had extensive connections with north African terrorists, but that was of a far nastier nature, and I do not want to talk about that because it is still a security issue. I hasten to add that it is no good getting the police in, because I shall immediately call the Bank of England as my defence witness, given that it put me in to deal with these problems.

This is a sophisticated version of the well-known African email scam. Nothing more, nothing less.
Crazy lunatics dreamed up this scheme while under the influence of something(??). This time they are swinging for the fences.
Mention names like Vatican, Rothschild, Bank of England, Gold Bullions, etc. and you got the makes of what all gullible conspiracy theories are all about.
How they got to Lord James is beyond me. Thank God there are still intelligent people (even some in government) in this World that do not fall for these scams.
Connect the dots and they all lead to: Wikipedia - OITC.org
CON = Gain other's confidence and trust. Establish credibility. Drop names. Good intentions to help. Move in for the kill.

Yeah only it's difficult to see how this con would profit the con artists. In a con you convince someone you have something they want and make them pay for it. The only way i could see a con working is to gain publicity and interviews about how you conned a government, make some money that way. Of course you would probably still be under arrest so it may not work out to well. Any con artist would need to fool the intelligence services, because if a lord is involved and making these claims you can be damn sure MI5 and 6 are all over it.
Nope i'm not seeing how profit could be gained by lying here. Unless it's simply a joke of course. In the end though the Vatican does have vast reserves of money, people have tried to trace it all and utterly failed even after discovering and confirming billions.

I agree if the Rothschilds are in anyway involved it has to have a catch. The family has been involved in banking and shady deals for close to 200 years if I remember correctly. Remember the old saying, "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is."

What's that saying? "Even alligators shed tears" or something like that
Lord James is a City grandee, whose career spans five recessions and has been corporate restructuring expert for over 30 years. He is an adviser for Cerberus Capital Management, a US private equity house and distressed debt investor, that tried to bid for Northern Rock. He has also been involved with restructuring of Lloyd's of London in the 1980s, the Eagle Trust - the manufacturer involved in the Iraqi supergun affair, and the doomed Millennium Dome. In 2005 he was appointed as an adviser to Michael Howard, awarded the CBE in 1992 and made a life baron in 2006.
Bloggers have speculated that 'Foundation X' was the "United Nations Office of International Treasury Control" (UNOITC). Lord James said he had not been approached by UNOITC and that no links exist between Foundation X and UNOITC. Read more: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk... rer-14995248.html#ixzz159nvubWJ

If all debts world wide were erased, can you imagine what would happen?
I cant.
I'm willing to ride this rollercoaster till it breaks...And as my rail car shoots off in a fiery blaze I will roar in triumph for having drawn more then a single breath.
Enjoy your ride folks.
