Let’s say the U.S. wanted to pay another country’s government secretly for assistance in a strategic project against a third country’s government.
The Fed could issue to the CIA billions in bearer bonds to give to the cooperating government for the purpose.
Let’s say the Op didn’t go as well, or the recipient of the bonds turned out to be a bad guy, or we want to welsh on the deal. What to do?
Arrange to receive the bonds in Switzerland, but tip off the Italians about the couriers. Declare the bonds fakes, and wash your hands of the whole deal.
That scenario fits the facts I see.
If true, what country would’ve done enough services for the U.S. that we’d give them $130B in untraceable bonds?
Wasn’t there a thread yesterday about the Kyrgs’ being back in the Russian orbit now?
