    In 1990, the CIA faked the fall of the Berlin Wall to allow the Marines to steal $120 trillion in gold from the Vatican.

    Say WHAT?!?!?!? Uh, the Berlin Wall is in Germany and the Vatican is in Italy. Now, how pray tell, are the two connected? For grins and chuckles, how many Marines did we land in the middle of Rome to do a stealth incursion into the Vatican?

    Even back then, assuming the Vatican (let alone the world) ever had $120 Trillion in gold, it would have required millions and millions of half-tracks to haul it away!

    lets see 1990 gold prices at $400 a troy ounce that would be 300,000,000,000 troy ounces ~500,000 cubic meters (a lump of gold approximately the size of a 5 story apartment building) not to mention that it is 56 times the amount of gold mined ever in all of history.

    That’s not to say it didn’t happen…

    Um, didn’t the Berlin Wall fall in 1989?

    I missed the whole thing, but in Las Vegas you can see a piece of the Berlin wall, by going to the men’s room at the “Main Street” Hotel, a helluva place to put a place to put a piece of history!
