During World War II, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito directed the looting of the national treasures in 13 nations his army had conquered. This included the wealth of Britain, Netherlands, and France, which had moved some of their gold to Asian colonies for safety. What happened to these treasures, estimated at around 100 billion in 1945 dollars? This loot was combined with treasure seized from the Germans to create a vast slush fund called the Black Eagle Trust, which was used to finance clandestine activities of the CIA. These funds allowed the creation of a huge organized crime syndicate in Asia that supplement their funds via drug and arms trafficking, and government contract and bank fraud.

I don’t think that you should, either. I don’t want my credibility to rest on ‘sources’ such as that. Why do you?
His bio suggests that he knows some things: Sterling Seagrave (born 1937) is the author of thirteen non-fiction histories and biographies, many co-authored with his wife, Peggy Seagrave. He grew up in Asia, in the remote Golden Triangle opium country on the Burma-China border, when Burma was still part of British India. He is in the 5th generation of American medical missionaries, teachers, and doctors who first came to Burma in 1832. He was in Burma when it was invaded by Japan in 1942, but with other family members were aboard the last refugee ship to India. His father, bestselling… Read more »
That’s ad-hominem about the book’s author; and on that basis you consider him to be trustworthy on the thousands of allegations he makes that have no documentation. I don’t cite anyone as being trustworthy on anything unless I can see the evidence. If a supposed non-fiction book supplies no evidence it is a novel, not a history, as far as I am concerned. Your defense of ad-hominem and willingness to go without any ad-rem is discrediting to your own allegations, so that an ad-hominem against what you yourself allege becomes based entirely upon ad-rem; namely, your willingness to be entirely… Read more »
