alien The US govt in the 1980s trotted out the Silver Users'Association with heartrending stories about silver being the lifeblood of industry & an every day need for mothers & babies. We haven't seen it this time around-yet. They concentrated their anger on wicked greedy speculators & hoarders who were stealing from honest hardworking basic necessity providing industrialists. What JPMorgan is doing is worse than Enron& is depriving 3rd world countries of their rightful income. We just happen to live in the remains of the once great Anglo countries & have a few years of prosperity left.
3b3b That's a great tale about the Silver Treasure of Bodando in the ancient temple of Puri. Real Indiana Jones stuff. But only 1 box was empty- if it was in America 3.6 boxes would be empty & they wouldn't bother to hold an enquiry into where the rest got to.
If the story was reported by Wilkie Collins in The Pioneer he'd have the Puri Temple guardians traveling to Sloane Square to cut off the heads of the descendants of the British Raj major who stole the silver idols . In the meantime the silver was melted down , thethief was shot & the loot lost (possibly).
I don't think the silver was from Dubai which was incredibly poor in the 20s & 30s.
