Nobody Remembers: The Supernote

Nobody Remembers

I was thinking today— it’s funny the things you don’t remember, isn’t it? Okay, there was a three-day stretch in my life that I vaguely remember where I was. (Trust me, I was not drugged,)

Agatha Christie had one of those times too…only she forgot about 10 days out of her life. But in the history of everyday lives and news…

Do you remember the supernote? I didn’t, but I read about it today.

Back in 1989, a woman at a Philippine bank notice something didn’t ‘feel’ right about a $100 dollar bill she was counting. Yep. It was fake. It had been printed on the same type of $10 million device used by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing: It’s paper content was 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen. It was an exact copy of U.S. Currency. The best counterfeit every made.

It was so perfect, they called it the supernote, and it was showing up all over the world.

The FBI suspected Iran, (which had already purchased two of those presses) Syria, Russia, East Germany, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Some even suspected the CIA. (No doubt, Al Sharpton has one in his basement)

And then they figured out it was actually North Korea that was printing them. In fact, Kim Jong-Ils not only was printing money, but he was also dealing in black market cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, drugs and weapons just to keep his Elvis movie collection up-to-date.

Doesn’t that make you wonder how much counterfeit everything we see in this country, that they don’t even bother to report? Is that prescription you are taking actually real?

While over $60 million dollars of fake supernotes were eventually found, it was thought that over $964 billion is still in circulation. In fact, you could have some of it in your wallet.

You might ask: Did it cause any financial destabilization?

Sure. We just didn’t hear about it, and you know why?

Daddy Bush Was afraid that North Korea would walk away from nuclear weapons talks if he even complained about it, which in hindsight didn’t matter, because Bill Clinton won the election and gave Kim Jong Ills all the plutonium he needed to make nukes. (And they are STILL best friends!)

And even though THAT wasn’t on the evening news much, it’s true. Kim Jong Il’s promised he would never use it to make nukes. Like a typical politician: He lied. This could be the reason why nobody in the world would even dare to go to visit North Korea but a gay basketball player.

And I don’t remember what Bill Clinton got out of that deal for America…do you?

The reality is, the Federal Reserve makes North Korea’s inflationary tactics seem amateurish.

And every day, I ask myself, what is it that I won’t remember tomorrow besides what I left off my grocery list?

If Snowden had not told us about the NSA spying on us, would we one day be told and then say to ourselves…You know, I really don’t remember that. So from now on, if you don’t remember something, odds are, your government never bothered to tell you.

And by the way, just so you know, I’m pretty sure the Commander-in-Chief…is a fake, a counterfeit, not even as good as a supernote if you wanted to compare him to the real thing…

And you can either forget that…or not.

Billions of people all over the world…have already…. forgotten.
