Experts Suggest the CIA, Not Kim Jong-il, is Counterfeiting Dollars

[quote=source]The American secret service, the CIA, could be responsible for manufacturing the nearly-perfect counterfeit 50 and 100-dollar-notes that Washington pins on the terror regime of North Korea. The charge comes after an extensive investigation in Europe and Asia by the Sunday edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung of Frankfurt, and after interviews with counterfeit money experts and leading representatives of the high-security publishing industry.
The U.S.-dollar forgeries designated "Supernotes," which are so good that even specialists are unable to distinguish them from genuine notes, have circulated for almost two decades without a reliable identification of the culprits. Because of their extraordinary quality, experts assume that some country must be behind the enterprise.
The administration of George W. Bush officially accused Pyongyang of the deed in the autumn of 2005, derailing Six-Party Talks on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. Since then, tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased considerably. America charges that North Korea is financing its rocket and nuclear weapons program with the counterfeit "Supernotes."
North Korea is one of the world's poorest nations and lacks the technological capability to produce notes of such high quality. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung, North Korea is at present unable to even produce the won [the North Korean currency]. The sources, which do not wish to be identified, allege that the CIA prints the falsified "Supernotes" at a secret facility near Washington to fund covert operations without Congressional oversight.[/quote]
Wouldn't be surprised if methods like this were used to pay for programs like Blackwater.

Oh Dick Cheney, you so cra-zay.
Uh, where's the source? Without it it sounds like a conspiracy theory.
With it, it still sounds like a conspiracy theory.
It really does sound like a conspiracy theory...
:tinfoil:
Another conspiracy theory, if you ask me.
Seems like something they would do.
lol no source

Rate me clocks.
Why would the CIA do it when they have the Federal Reserve to do it for them.
A guy at home with Photoshop and a $100 dollar printer could damn near do the same thing
If the possibility of the CIA doing this is public knowledge, they wanted it to be public knowledge, or consider it unfounded enough to let slide, which is most likely.
Were they actually doing it and didn't want you to know, you wouldn't. The CIA tends to be a bit more competent than anyone is willing to admit.
So, your source is a fringe website, and THEIR source is an obscure German news website, and THEIR source is a group of unspecified "experts"
That's a little flimsy tbh

You can't be serious...
It's common knowledge that the CIA smuggled heroine and opium from Vietnam to the US during the Vietnam war, then sold it on the black market to make more money.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was legit.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is not an "obscure german news website", you DICK.

You would be right if the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wasn't the biggest and probably most unbiased (except for a slight conservative angle when it comes to German politics) newspaper in Germany. It's one of the best newspapers in the world.
So what I read is that North Korea probably didn't counterfeit the money, so obviously the CIA must have done it.
Ok.
I heard about this a while ago.
The funny thing is, if it was really the CIA, there would be no way to distinguish the fakes from real as they would presumably be made the same way, just on a much much smaller scale.

Blackwater (now Xe, inc.) was a private company. The only relation it had to the government was as a contractor.
It's yet another conspiracy theory.
Ugh.
Weird how this comes out after that scrap between the CIA and Nancy Pelosi.....
