U.S. bonds worth $134.5B found in Japanese travellers' suitcase confirmed to be forgeries...skepticism remains.
HAARETZ
On June 3, two Japanese citizens were arrested in Chiasso by "La Guardia Di Finanza" Italian finance police, while attempting to cross into Switzerland with $134.5 billion worth of U.S. bonds.
Authorities discovered the bonds in the false bottom of a suitcase, after searching the men at a train stop near the Swiss border in Chiasso.
The Times of London quotes officials as saying that the massive sum was divided into "249 U.S. Federal Reserve bonds each worth $500 million, plus ten Kennedy bonds with face values of $1 billion, in addition to various other types."
Conspiracy theories flooded the internet soon after the story hit newswires. Many thought that someone was trying to quietly dump U.S. treasury bonds without disrupting the bonds market. Others suggested the possibility of a foreign government attempting to flood the market with counterfeit U.S. bonds.
However, last week American officials confirmed that the notes were forgeries. Despite this confirmation, many still remain skeptical.
The Times says that "[t]he amount of $134 billion would place the two travellers as the fourth most important investors in U.S. debt, well ahead of Britain ($128.2 billion) and just behind Russia ($138.4 billion)."
According to the British broadsheet The Independent, the bonds are "equivalent to the entire GDP of Kazakhstan."
The massive sum also equates to 1% of the U.S. GDP, which is enough to destabilize markets worldwide.
The events in Iran have pushed the incident out of the headlines, but the fallout from this discovery could have dramatic implications for the U.S. and its already shaky position as the world's economic superpower.

Why is it that that so little is being written or televised about this? The amount involved raises serious questions. Something smells rotten in Italy!

I would highly suggest looking into Benjamin Fulford's blog on this matter: He has some very up-to-date views on this subject.
About the $134.5 billion bonds found in Italy and the secret financial system - Benjamin Fulford
"There is a lot of confusion these days among people who still believe the Zionist web of lies formerly known as the “mainstream consensus.” The story about the $134.5 billion in bonds found in Italy is adding to that confusion. Perhaps a bit of background information will help clarify the situation somewhat.
First of all people need to realize that there are two sets of books used in global finance: the “official” data put out by government agencies etc. and the secret financial arrangements used between sovereign entities (countries as well as organizations). When members of the British and Japanese royal families first contacted me and started talking about thousands of trillions of dollars, I thought they were bonkers. Officially world GDP is $55 trillion so their numbers seemed impossible. However, after meeting multiple sources ranging from freemasons, to yakuza, to MI6 to Japanese security police, to CIA etc. I can now confirm there is a secret financial system whose total worth is “quintillions of dollars.” I think the numbers got this big as a result of some sort of ridiculous contest to see who had the largest penis among the folk who control the printing presses for dollars and euros etc.
In any case, the bonds found in Italy are connected to a massive operation that took place in the Far East before and during WW2. Part of that involved the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. When the Japanese invaded Manchuria in 1931 the owners of the Federal Reserve Board contacted the Chinese emperor and said “the Japanese are about to steal the treasure you have in Manchuria. How about we take that treasure to the Philippines for safe keeping? In exchange we will give you 70-year US government bonds that you can use to buy stuff from around the world.”
The emperor agreed to the deal and the Americans started issuing huge numbers of bonds backed by the emperor’s gold. To keep these shenanigans out of the US public eye, they printed the bonds in the Philippines. Some of these bonds are the ones the two Japanese were carrying in Italy.
This whole thing also ties into 911 big time. When the emperor made his deal with the Feds he asked them what would happen when the bonds came due and the Feds refused to pay back the principal. He was told US criminal authorities would take action.
The owners of the Fed thought they would never have to pay back the money because they thought the last emperor died as a gardener in communist China. What they did not realize was that the man in China was a double and that the real emperor escaped to Taiwan. His grandson, the current emperor, is now the dean of a University (I know his name and what university but to protect him I cannot tell)."
