Yes, you read that headline correctly, and no, it is not a rhetorical question: What do New Jersey and Saudi Arabia have in common, and no, it’s not “fossil fuels” or Standard Oil of New Jersey nor Exxon nor any other obvious answer.

My Merrill Lynch broker called to set up an appointment. I asked them to prepare financial strategies for shorting the dollar.
$1 trillion in interest debt every 100 days indeed.
Oh, that little pesky mountainous country in Western Europe with that peculiar reverse flag of former militant religious order, always in a center of world’s affairs. Who in Switzerland finally betrayed US dollar and hidden system of finance?
Will US let it go that easily or will it be met with fate of some of the Swiss banks when they tried to withhold holocaust survivors’ money deposited in few Swiss banks?
Michael Hausfeld was a broker or rather litigator in that lawsuit and brought Swiss banks to their knees.
Despite extensive google research almost zero info on M. Hausfeld bio, not to mention no wiki page available.
There must be gold in climate change too as he’s representing Greta Thunberg in a lawsuit against Germany. Bonds will no doubt be necessary at some point unless someone can ‘turn off’ climate change.

The Saudis’ willingness to accept payment for oil in currency other than dollars seems like a clue as to which of the two scenarios (attempt to weaken the old system vs. attempt to strengthen it) is more likely.
Of course, that’s just what we in the public know; what’s actually going on under the surface can always be totally different. Though since it looks more and more like a “League of Cambrai” moment against the U.S., my bet would be the Saudis’ move away from the petrodollar is actually what it looks like on the surface.
Interesting speculations. Remember though that gold is portable. It will go (relocate) to wherever the guns tell it to go. Yamashita’s guns took it from Chinese peasants…generations of accumulated wealth. US guns took it from Japan (via Phillipines…still don’t know why Japan stored it there). As long as the gold-rich countries don’t have strong military capability, it can be stolen or coerced to move back into hand of the strongest government (including deep state governments).
I see the bullion purchases as a hedge against decline of the dollar, and perhaps as ante to be allowed to join the BRICS game.
Yep, I saw it during my search, creep for hire by deep state with no wiki page. He really must be important to DS
None of the money he was fighting for of Jewish holocaust survivors ended in their or their families accounts. Most of it went to World Jewish Congress. It was a money grab Nazi style. Swiss banks complied pensively. This was a beta test in my opinion.
Now things are more serious, we my finally see disintegration of Switzerland, since it is there, where a lot of shadow money are deposited thru out the years. This is a match between NYC money changers, London City and Swiss (in my humble, walking in a dark opinion).
We may be at the cusps of what Jesus describes in Mathew 12:22-30
“25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?”

General Yamashita was never posted to China. The guns that took it in China were those of the Imperial Secret Service, the Kempai Tei.

What to make then of Dr Jan Halper - Hayes DOD Contractor revealing that the DOD had removed 650 plane loads of gold from the Vatican ( I would normally discard such statements however President Trump retruthed her interview from British TV) ?
Depending on the plane size one could easily deduct that the value of the gold exceeds several trillion dollars. My working thesis is that the 3rd privately owned central bank of the US is being phased out and replaced by treasury notes back at least in part by gold among other commodities.

Where to begin? The subject is like the tendrils of an octopus. Once you pry one loose, another has you in its grip.
I will start by commenting on the bearer bond issue. While the average person will never see a bearer bond (more or less own one), a definition may be helpful to the discussion. Bearer bonds are generally issued by governments without ownership being denoted on the bond itself or being registered with the issuer. Interest is paid to the bearer of coupons attached to the bond as is the principal on maturity. Therefore, bearer bonds ownership is anonymous.
The reason that governments would issue anonymous bonds is so no one could ascertain who was lending the government money (and hide its source of financing). One purpose why someone would lend the government money anonymously was to hide wealth (or launder the lender’s source of funds). So, to paraphrase from Shakespeare, if you want to hide the source of your money, it is “better a lender be”. One might think that governments would want to know where the source of their funds came from in order to tax (confiscate) the funds. However, this obviously was not the case or bearer bonds would never have been issued. As a result, bearer bonds (and bearer counterfeit bearer bond frauds), have been the playing ground for corrupt governments and their criminal sources of funds for ages.
The bearer bonds associated with Yamashita’s gold were originally issued by the US treasury to finance economic recovery in postwar Japan (being partially backed by gold recovered by US intelligence in the Phillipines from Japan’s seizure of China’s gold taken under Prince Takeda’s Golden Lily).
These, and other bearer bonds, that were originally backed by recovered Golden Lily gold and became the seed money for the off budget (black) treasury funding of secret projects. Thus, the government had to deny that the seized bearer bonds were real. By denying that the treasury had ever issued bearer bonds in billion dollar face amounts, they were not saying they were counterfeit bonds, but they were fakes. To even state they were counterfeit would be a tacit admission that real bearer bonds in billion dollar denominations had existed.
It is obvious that the Petro Dollars taken in payment for oil since 1973 were recycled into high denomination treasury bearer bonds held by the Saudis (rather than standard treasury bonds) since the Saudi royals did not trust the treasury (and did not want to have to reveal their names as owners on the bonds). Obviously, the fact that they are easiliy concealed and transported did not hurt.
In my opinion, the bearer bonds seized in Italy were being cashed in by the Saudis for Swiss gold, not dollars.

Thanks for the rundown. Minor correction/question; the Yamashita gold from the Phillipines was just taken as a war prize if I remember correctly, no bonds needed. The billion dollar bearer bonds, chests they were delivered in etc…if memory serves weren’t these from an earlier era? The thirties I believe. Can’t remember if they were swapped for gold with China or Japan. My copy of the Seagraves book is in storage.
The story isn’t over…people are still finding things in the Phillipines. Here’s a story I hadn’t seen.
No one knows truth about $300 billion bonds from alleged crash (southcoasttoday.com)
As I stated on the topic of bearer bonds, “where do I start”. The discussion can lead down many dark avenues.
Bearer bonds have been used for centuries for both legitimate and illegitimate purposes. (Reference turn of the century Mexican “blueberry bonds” among others). In my opinion, bearer bonds were an early form of “money laundering” turning ill-gotten lucre into legal debt instruments that could be negotiated freely, re-hypothecated or used as an asset upon which to issue derivatives.
However, to get more specific, no one knows precisely where the money to revive Japan (its version of the Marshall Plan in Europe), other than from the US government or US banks. I was referring to the speculation that Yamashita’s gold recovered by the US intelligence services was used as the asset upon which bearer bonds may have been issued. Once issued, the bonds can then be used as the basis for making loans to governments (or government run central banks), who spend the money into circulation thus stimulating Japan’s economy from a post-war depression. In effect, the US was using China’s stolen gold to finance Japan’s post-war economic recovery.
In point of fact, the money to finance Japan’s post-war economic recovery could have come from Hitler’s stolen gold or from some other stolen WWII source. Money is fungible and mostly exists as a ledger entry on some bank’s books. It can come from anywhere. My point was merely to point out the many uses of bearer bonds that have been historically used to hide illicit sources of funds.
The irony was that Japan, by surrendering to the allies (US mainly), got not only to keep the emporor but also to got the use of their Golden Lily gold stole from China and Malaysia.

No they were NOT from an earlier era. PLEASE DO READ MY BLOGS AND BOOKS ABOUT THE SUBJECT. That’s why I write them.
