Chapter Two
The Evidence
Confusing and varied to say the least, especially the various statements made jointly by Watanabe and Yamaguchi. Two people but one mouthpiece so that there was no evidential conflict between them.
No doubt from the time of their arrest (1st June 2009) to the hearing for indictment (27th June 2009) there was ample time to structure their story and even plan their escape from justice, after all, these were two con artists, one of whom Yamaguchi had already spent Twelve (12) years in prison for fraudulent activities back in the early 1980’s; and now the indicted suspect criminals were on the run from justice, fleeing back to their home country and the Government department and officials who had provided the Diplomatic Passports, for maximum protection against such justice.
Part of the joint statement by Watanabe and Yamaguchi, made at Chiasso, Switzerland to the Border Police and the Financial Crime Police stated, quote :
These Certificates and Bonds are real and genuine and we were taking them through to Switzerland for depositing in a Swiss Bank where the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who knew all about these Certificates and Bonds would verify them, as the Federal Reserve Bank were the ultimate authority over these Financial Instruments.
Several points can be questioned within this part of the statement.
Let’s just look at the latter part of Yamaguchi and Watanabe’s joint statement here, quote “as the Federal Reserve Bank were the ultimate authority over these Financial Instruments”.
As will be shown in the next chapter, part of the US Federal Reserve, US Treasury and US Intelligence Service, as extracted from Police and Court records states, quote “Bonds and financial documentation similar to those seized have been used in the past for international fraud, especially the “Advance Fee Fraud”, well known on an international basis”.
So what are they actually saying here, they are not saying that the seized Financial Instruments are real or that they are fake. All they are saying is that such financial documentation, as seized, are used for international fraud, indicating “Advance Fee Fraud”. The former of the above hits the “Nail on the Head” as these Financial Instruments have no commercial value (Yamaguchi’s own words in his statement to the Financial Police). In other words these Financial Instruments can not be utilised within the commercial banking system which would give them value. They can only be utilised by The International Treasury Controller as the Legal Heir and Owner of the Global Debt Facility.
According to the Police records there was no mention of evidence of “Advance Fee Fraud” being committed by Yamaguchi or Watanabe. However, Alessandro Santi in his evidence admits he paid substantial expenses for Yamaguchi and Watanabe whilst they were in Italy and Switzerland. That is as bad as Advanced Fee Fraud, as the police had decided, because Yamaguchi and Watanabe had used fraudulent statements to coerce Santi, and probably others as well, into providing substantial expenses and some accommodation so they could further their fraudulent activities.
Were these Financial Instruments actually real and genuine Financial Instruments?
The answer is that there are very few people in the world that know about such Financial Instruments, and even fewer that hold the authority to verify these Financial Instruments. Yamaguchi being a former officer of the Ministry of Finance of Japan would certainly know that the Japanese 57 Series Bonds were as real and genuine as the country, shaped like a knee length boot jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, with his experience in a Ministry of Finance, he would also know that the Kennedy Bonds and Federal Reserve Notes were also real and genuine.
Without any doubt whatsoever, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York who hold no power or authority whatsoever to undertake any verification of these instruments; would be almost certainly aware of these Financial Instruments and know that these Financial Instruments are real, after all, the majority of these Certificates, known as Federal Reserve Bonds (FRB’s), or Federal Reserve Notes (FRN’s), were actually issued by the Federal Reserve and their 12 national branches way back in 1933 and 1934.
The answer to the actual question is a reserved yes, subject to full and proper sight of same to determine their authenticity and legitimacy. There is a simple process, which if you know what to do and what to look for, will determine 95 - 98% as to whether these Certificates, Bonds, Notes etc, are genuine. Any fakeness / falseness about these Certificates / Bonds would show up immediately and without much effort expended.
The only thing one needs to look out for is the real fakes which although printed on the same paper, which America foolishly left behind in the Philippines and China, along with inks, boxes, printing plates etc; the fakes will show a different face value on the Certificate, Bond, Notes, etc, relative to the paper used, because the Filipinos who are responsible for printing the fake Financial Instruments always got the combination of printing plate and paper mixed up.
These particular Certificates / Bonds are in fact, Debt Obligation Certificates, Notes, Bonds, written / issued in favour of the Global Debt Facility, and are part of the Global Debt Facility.
The Federal Reserve Notes and the Kennedy Bonds are 100% Debt Obligation Financial Certificates issued by the United States through the Federal Reserve Bank and many of its branches in various states of the USA. (Note the use of the words by and through utilised here - there is a very big legal difference between the two words which actually defines who, or which party, carries the ultimate liability against these Financial Instruments). In this case, the issuer is not liable against these Financial Instruments. It is the Government that authorised the issuance of these Financial Instruments that is legally and financially liable for these Financial Instruments.
These Financial Instruments, exclusive of the Japanese 57 Series Bonds, are all written / issued against Gold and other precious metals owned by the Combined International Collateral Accounts of the Global Debt Facility, used by America to refinance the USA by underpinning the US Dollar utilising the Gold Standard, following the Great Depression of the 30’s, and for the upcoming change of the International Reserve Currency, at that time the UK Pound Sterling, to the US Dollar in compliance with the 1910 Jekyll Island Treaty (The Monster from Jekyll Island), the 1913 Establishment of the Federal Reserve as the Central Bank of America, the 1920 London Treaty, and ultimately the 1945 Bretton Woods Treaty.
The Japanese 57 Series Bonds, are slightly different, but again issued against Gold and other precious metals of the Combined International Collateral Accounts of the Global Debt Facility. The difference is in how these Bonds are used. They are in fact only usable by Governments for specifically approved projects, and are transmitted strictly on a Government to Government basis through the Central Bank of Japan on behalf of the issuer, being the Global Debt Facility, who is the Legal Owner of the accounts and assets behind, or that collateralise the accounts, which in turn is The International Treasury Controller as Legal Heir, and Owner, under International Treaty, of the Global Debt Facility.
The point here is that neither Watanabe nor Yamaguchi should have been in possession of these “Special” Financial Instruments. Neither were they the owners of these Financial Instruments. In fact, in one way or another, stated in simple terms, they were stolen, and had the Italian Authorities realised that at the time of arrest of the “Defendants”, the criminal charges applicable would have more likely been “In Possession of Stolen Property”, “In possession of Stolen Property with the intent to defraud”, “Criminal and Fraudulent Deception”, and so on.
