Gold Warriors possible inaccuracy?

Why the heck does "'" appear each time I try to use an apostrophe in this forum? Anyways, I'm off to scan some earth.

It only appears if you have a link embedded in your post. Don't use contractions with links. It's a flaw, not a bug, in the HTML process when it is generated by a PHP file. The SMF (Simple Machines Forum) is written in PHP.

	What about the formation of the bank? Did it form from a group of older banks? Almost all modern banks have their foundation in older banks. It seems to me that just casual research on my part determined that the Bank Negara was set up specifically for the exchange of gold and world currencies controlled by a central source. Almost certainly the bank was formed from nationalized banks just after WWII ended. The world, both physical and financial, was in serious turmoil and needed the stability of government (centralized) control.

How and from what Bank Negara was formed is inconsequential in this matter. It did not exist in WW2 while the Japanese had invaded and were in control of Malaya.

	guys, im a filiipino...i was 12 years old when marcos was sent off to Hawaii... im a lawyer now...but here are my lingering questions 1.) how possible is it that indeed the japanese looted the other asian countries even before and during the two world wars ? and how possible is it that they buried their loot here? 2.) how possible is it that before Marcos died he discovered/found some of those gold in our country well, most of you here are older than me i cannot even answer that... but as I told you before, i talked with the lead diver last July who was ordered to dive into the seas off the visayas (where the greatest naval battle in history took place)the order from Malacanang was simply to verify if the cargoes off the japanese warship was still there...and after they confirmed that the cargoes still existed, they were not allowed to dive again....maybe he lied to me maybe he did not... 3.) is the Hawaii court wrong in ruling in favor of the person who found the Golden Buddha? the book GW may have stories which cannot be corroborated...it may not even be worth reading for some....but its a good read just the same, for me at least  -seeker-

About 2 years after Marcos fled the Philippines, I met by sheer chance an American and we had a pleasant conversation. He claimed he a member of the USAF and was one of the pilots on the plane that carried Marcos to Hawaii and that the aisle between the seats of the plane was about 11/2 feet deep in US currency notes that were hastily thrown aboard. I do not know if he was telling a tall tale, but I saw no lie in his eyes.

Ever since then, I have run across in the Philippines and Malaysian Borneo, USAF staff both active and retired. Over the years I thought nothing much of it as many Americans like being in the Philippines, and the USAF had many C-130s refurbished by contractors in Malaysia prior to the 9/11 incident. But then something clicked: the Jewish American gold buyers I knew in Makati were retired USAF. The treasure hunters I met in Gen. Santos, Davao and Zamboanga were active and retired USAF. So many USAF people here; could it be that the man who claimed to be a pilot saw "something" during Marcos' flight, and that "something" spurred him and his air force buddies to be involved in the treasure hunting industry?

Anyhow, history is often re-written by the victorious. The chance for ordinary people to get the real story is slim. Glad you enjoyed the Gold Warriors book. I shall resume reading it when I am bored.
