want to ask you Ophir - why you may think that the leaders of a nation as proud as the US would conspire against the foundation of their wealth? It doesn't make sense - unless the leaders were totally bent on power, wealth and therefore insanely corrupted. Like Hitler et al.
Historically believable - but likely? The US still allows free minds - I reckon some of those minds in Congress would be fighting to bring this up and make it known. Is it possible that everyone in the US congress could be bound in such corruption? That no-one is able to tell the truth?
If yes, then the US is cactus -and so are we.
And it only strengthens the case of precious metals to the moon.
