#2 Bloomberg's Pesek wrote a piece on this a couple of days ago. He thought they could be Nork agents and the bonds fake.

Anyway fake or real. It's quite the story.

#4 And in other news....Workers at an agricultural cooperative in Zentsuji, Kagawa Prefecture, check square-shaped watermelons. The cooperative will ship 600 of the watermelons, with a price tag of about 14,000 yen each. The melons are grown this way by being put into cubes of translucent plastic while still on the vine. The idea is to make it easier for them to fit into refrigerators.

US Bonds to SZ news? Crickets. Only crickets.

#5 We have now entered the official "end game" for the United States Government. They are broke. Bankrupt. They have no hope of ever repaying their debts. Countries around the world know this and are starting to dump U.S. debt and U.S. currency because it will all become worthless very soon.

There's no stopping it. There's no avoiding it. There's no way to patch things up to make this go away.

The United States of America has been bankrupted by its own government. That government bears sole responsibility for the economic collapse that is coming. When the collapse happens, the American people - the most heavily armed population on Earth - will probably take up arms and overthrow the government by force. In our view, forcible overthrow is a fate the U.S. Government richly deserves.

Obviously he hates America for some reason.
