-->sie kommt, dürfte klar sein

Golden Comet"Yank-Hank W" pointed out an anomaly in the monthly foreign treasury holding report that was posted here last night where Caribbean Banking Centers accounted for 41% of the total increase. What in fact is the"Caribbean Banks?" Well let's say that at times the Grand Caymans have represented one of the largest dealers n US short term treasuries. Now what type of money do you think that is?

Nefarious tax dodge and laundered $$$'s float in and out of the Caribbean. Come on, the tourist business, straw hats and turtle shell market never produced funds like that. So when the US depends on the mob - be they corporate or drug related to finance the deficit - you might say we are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
