David Wilcox and Fulford are onto something!
It will become easier to see where the real alliances are between nations once full-on world war starts, which seems to be planned to happen soon, as in maybe three months or less.
You just can't have one single world entity, Stalin and Hitler tried it and it never works out. Too many people think they can jump in and be the big dog.

people seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding about these. These bonds are real, they were given by the US to the east in exchange for their gold. The US had invaded Japan and installed a puppet government, they were trying to steal the gold from China so China turned to the US (BIG MISTAKE) to help them out by looking after the gold and to stop Japan invading them and stealing it.
The US knew they would never allow the bonds to be cashed so they didn't care what value they put onto them, they made such huge ridiculous numbers as to give China the sense of security. The bonds were deliberately made with tiny mistakes so that they would never be able to be cashed.
In the mid 1990's the bonds matured and that is when the SHTF, because China either wanted their gold back or to cash the bonds, neither of which was ever going to happen. The US just looked at the bonds and said "sorry dude, we have no record of these bonds ever being given and there are mistakes on them so they are fake and worthless KTHXBYE (slam the door in the face)
That's the scam, the banks and the US want to get rid of them and destroy them and forget about them, where as the east want their gold back.
WOW~!!!!

my thoughts exactly.. !
Fraudulent "Federal Notes" or "Bonds"
These bogus securities are commonly known as "Morganthaus." Henry Morganthau, Jr. was Secretary of the Treasury in 1934. These "federal notes" are not currency, nor are they bearer bonds. They are crude forgeries that appear to have originated out of the Philippines. The story being told is that the United States shipped them to Philippine freedom fighters during World War II to help with the war effort. Some "investors" have brought them to us in so-called "Federal Reserve" metal boxes, along with other related certificates, such as:
Global Immunity (file size 277K, JPG file uploaded 12/12/02),
FDIC Insurance (file size 261K, JPG file uploaded 12/12/02),
Gold Bullion (file size 325K, JPG file uploaded 12/12/02),
Shipping manifests,
"Gold" coins.
These crude forgeries were likely made by inserting images of $100, $1,000, and even $1 bills into a computer program, then altering the amounts to read $100 million or $500 million, and adding coupons in both English and Chinese script. Most were printed on modern color printers or copiers, which did not exist in 1934 - when these bogus notes are alleged to have been issued. The U. S. Treasury did not issue securities (bonds) in $100 million or $500 million denominations during the period alleged in this fraud. Click to view a full-size image of the thumbnail image pictured.
The largest Federal Reserve note ever printed was $100,000 and was only used inside the banking system. For more information on this currency item, please review the FAQ at www.treas.gov...
Why haven't the Swiss found them and reported it

Also, if this website is really populated by intelligent people, why is THIS story not at the top of the list and flagged 500 times? I mean, this is HUGE if these things really aren't counterfeit...
Perhaps because deep down, everyone knows that regardless of what nation you live in, we all know that we are getting screwed over and sometimes people just say, what the hell, let me read up on another thread as ive had enough for today.

Oh brother.. they should have just stood back and watched to let this one play out. The punch line would have been hilarious at the end. Your link there says that these scams are not at all uncommon. This was just a shocker for how wild someone got about the amounts they printed on them this time. I admit, they sure got a head full of stupid and just plain crazy greed for this.
The Nigerian angle is just the topper though. That IS rich. They don't say these people were looking to buy Uranium? Just Plutonium. Can someone explain where Nigerians came by Plutonium?? African nations MINE Uranium. That would have been no shock...but Plutonium is almost exclusively a man made thing and a highly refined and processed one at that.
Umm.. Okay.. So the Mob prints buckets of bogus bonds....and then seems to be in the process of falling for a whole new version of a Nigerian scam. Yeah..they should have gone right ahead and let it run it's course while they watched it all real close. When they stopped laughing, they could have arrested both ends of the bogus deal and closed the whole thing in a nice, neat package.

The fake bonds gave the impression they had been issued by the US Federal Reserve in 1934, and were worth an amount equivalent to almost half of the US’s public debt.
So suddenly 6 trillion fake U.S. bonds have been found in a nation that has financial problems. Anyone here getting a weird feeling of something that is to erupt across the world.

BS - that is the story told by the Philipine hucksters to get people to invest in crackpot schemes to find and redeem them - they regularly turn up in there in amounts of 10's of Billions, and i$2 Trillion in 2001
They ARE fake - they are well known to be fake, and anyone who thinks otherwise is welcome to send me some dosh - I'll sell you some for only 50% of the face value!!

I can't even begin to express the mess of thoughts I'm having on this. I'm honestly scared of what direction the chain of lies will take with this news.

The eight people arrested are all Italian nationals and include 69-year-old Rocco Menzella, a former mayor of the town of Montescaglioso in southern Italy.
I am assuming if they planned to use these with banks, surely they had confidence in their fake bonds for the banks to accept them?
