The Manila Times Internet Edition | TOP STORIES > US helped steal war loot I like this one, Yashamita's gold and the phillipines has been a great story fro years, and that many people includng Marcos have searched for it and not found anything, and with this you have to remember that the Japanese documented that by todays standards they secreted Trillions of dollars worth of gold on the islands!! Did the CIA use it and fund themselves?? If you believe in a high level cabal of people who run things behind the facade of an elected government then this is a great idea!! Not everything has to be funded by black money from congress then!!!
