A Video Report about Biometric India

I didn't come up with the title for the video. This is a Sky News report about the Indian government's biometrically identifying everyone in the country. The professed reason is to stop government corruption. Huh? I guess the implication is that it will be tied to all financial transactions. It should go fairly nicely along with the coming required international internet i.d.

Did You Hear the One About Chiasso

So two Japanese guys were stopped at the Italian border with Chiasso, Switzerland. Some reports said that the two gentlemen worked for the Japanese finance ministry. In either case, they were found with $134 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds. This happened in June of 2009; but, I just now got around to writing about it.

The United States was called in to verify if they were real and there seems to be some confusing and conflicting data on the answer. Eventually the government said that they were probably fakes, probably.

Oh, the two men, we don't know who they were and they were allowed to leave. In fact, nothing has been said what became of the two. I find that a little odd. Each bond was for about $500 million. Now, who could you possibly sell them to, anyone would verify that they were good before accepting them. The total dollar amount is staggering and there is no way to use them without them being verified first.

In 2009 two Philippine nationals were stopped with $180 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds and then in 2011 in Italy, six people were caught with $20 billion in U.S. Treasury Bonds. What is interesting about the Italian case is that the people involved are being charged with receiving stolen goods. Doesn't that mean that the bonds were real?

So what are we supposed to believe? What the heck is going on. Either all the bonds are fake, in which case you have to ask why anyone would bother faking them or the bonds are real in which case, who could possibly think to move such amounts of money? While Glen Beck mentioned the Chiasso incident on his show, it failed to get any real attention in the mainstream media.

A Day Off and Things to Tag as Music

It is four in the morning and I am thinking, never a good thing. One thing I decided to do to keep my mind from wandering was tag all the posts that have music as Music. Hope you enjoy.

You know, I went across the street today to go to the store. When I got there I was told how much I was loved. Isn't that strange, isn't the fact that random young people tell me that they love me? We saw a baby and it smiled and blew me a kiss, I don't understand it. There are people that meet me and just like me and I don't understand why. I mean, I like kids and they seem to like me; but, I meet people that take an immediate liking to me and I cannot understand why. Is this normal?
