Conspiracy? Well, I admit that the gold doesn't interest me (I'm a believer in the old saying that money doesn't buy you happiness - just a damn good sh*g), but if you have such insights into the shenanigans of the CIA, perhaps you could help explain this:



Any help would be much appreciated - ta very much,

Moderator intervention!

Your posts are antagonistic and therefore not acceptable. If you have some information to post, then do so.

Any further "yelling" and demeaning rhetoric towards members will result in the thread being closed.

Eeek! Even the Moderator is a CIA agent! Quick, where is my tinfoil hat?

I've got it.

Personally I'm stilll laughing at the manno y maono comment. Why do they think someone with the username Kitty is a bloke?

Okay, serious question: If all of these Priental treasures were stolen, then why haven't the Japanese Government openly announced their intention to recover them as they were stolen from them in the first place?

And a note, any more spaces in the middle of sentences and I shall lose my temper.

I don't want to insult you, Colt.....so I'll let someone else have the final word:
Yamashita's Gold - Mysteries of History - U.S. News Online

It makes a good yarn–but that may be all. "We heard rumors, but we couldn't track any of them down," recalls Kay Tateishi, stationed in the Philippines with the Japanese news agency Domei in 1943-44. "As far as I know and the sources I talked to, it was a lot of hogwash."

And from Channel 4:

Despite all the disappointments and dead-ends, the fortune hunters remain undaunted. In a nation where the average annual income is $1,000, it is hardly surprising that, for the past 55 years, hundreds of Filipinos have also been busy looking for the lost treasure.

In fact, dozens have died digging up roads, riverbeds and mountainsides in a relentless pursuit of the Yamashita gold. For example, in late 2000, two men were buried alive when a tunnel collapsed near the Mindanao town of General Santos after they had dug as far as 24 feet (7.3 metres). Four others suffocated in Lumban, Laguna. And in 1998, three men were killed in Nueva Ecija in Luzon province when a tunnel they had dug caved in.

As many of these projects have ended in failure, a side industry has emerged based on the fever itself. Foreign investors are often enticed into funding the digging of holes known to contain nothing. In areas of high unemployment, workers are happy to dig meaningless holes for two or three US dollars a day. Con men claim to have recovered treasure but will only meet with buyers in secluded rural areas – abduction points for allegedly wealthy travellers. Others will try to sell gold-plated brass Buddhas and fake gold bars for thousands of times their actual value.

So my question is - how much are you asking for and how many people have you conned before?
