I still say they are Chinese agents. If not then they are Japanese working for China I say China is in there someplace.
The Japanese consulate general in Milan confirmed that the detention had taken place and said it was trying to confirm with Italian authorities whether the two were indeed Japanese nationals and their identities.


Doesn't make sense for the Chinese to try to devalue the dollar. They are the largest holder of US Treasury Securities in the world. Why would they want to devalue their investment?

Not much MSM media coverage about this and this should be pretty big new in the US. This is what America has become, some foreign agents are attempting to smuggle $134B worth of US Bonds and The headline on CNN.com right now is Chastity Bono changing gender. What a joke..

Makes perfectly good sense to me.

I'm pretty sure that all the bonds in question are US Federal Reserve or Treasury issued bonds. I've been googling, yahooing, and still haven't seen the answer to exactly what a Kennedy bond is. I did however find a great article explaining Bearer bonds at investopedia.

Bearer Bonds-- Investopedia Article

I did find an article on "Carter Bonds". Issued during the Carter administration.
Carter bonds

I didn't find a similar Kennedy Bond article at either Wiki or investopedia.

I'm going to take a WAG (wild assed guess) and assume that they are most likely Treasury issued bonds that were in some way associated with Kennedy like the Carter bonds are with Carter. As a matter of fact some argue that Kennedy was killed because he had decided to print US notes as and alternative to Federal Reserve Notes. Perhaps they are associated with him for that or were some type of bond issue that happened during the Kennedy admin. They could also be called Kennedy bonds simply because he is the President on the portrait on them.

Anyway, there is no where near enough information to make anything more than a WAG right now as to the source of these bonds right now.

You know I'm always one of the first to call BS on the Leo Wanta and GATA stuff that makes it's way around the conspiracy web from time to time, but this is one of those stories that makes those two almost plausible especially if the bonds are real.

There are U.S.-issued bearer bonds still in circulation because of their long lifespan - up to 50 years - but, according to an article that appeared in The New York Times on February 13, 2006, by 2013 most of these bonds will have become extinct.


From Investopedia

Looks like they could conceivably have been issued from anytime from 1959-1969 when the US last issued denominations in those amounts. Them being bearer instruments, they could have changed hands multiple times since first issue so if real there is no telling whose hands they have passed through.
