2. Cannonfire - Joe Cannon (bans '911 consiracy nuts')
Both are interesting mainly for the links to other sources rather than the editorial opinions expressed (IMHO anyway). Site 2 makes copious reference to 'Yamashita's Gold' with comment that is frankly risible. Nonetheless the links are worth some study.
Personally I'm uncertain how to categorise this whole caper, other than that it appears to be something more significant than the regular sucker scams warned about in various Fed circulars
Peter, the Cannonfire article has a number of interesting points. Not least is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's 2005 announcement in which they statep:
Quote: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 so double-speak that it opens up lots of questions. For instance, surely the Fed would be aware of any currency or debt stockpile issued in the past and not redeemed? I would be if it were my debt. And while I am at it, being "unaware" is not the same thing of never having issued currency or debt in the past that was stockpiled. To wit: when the Soviet Union reverted to Russia with Yeltsinman, the US Fed flew out a Boeing 747 stacked from floor to ceiling with brand spanking new US$100 bills on shipping pallets to float the new Russia in the American way (the Russian Mafiya were overjoyed). The same thing happened to Iraq: billions of dollars loaded on pallets of brand new 100 dollar bills. I also know of $4 billion worth of brand new $100 bills that were shipped to South Africa when Mandela became head honcho. In other words it happens a lot.
There is, imo, something being hidden here and, therefore, some culpability on the part of the FedRes of NY.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
