This surprised me. Nevada's biggest export trading partner is Switzerland. I have no idea what Nevada exports to Switzerland.

The first thing anyone with some knowledge of finance would suspect would be Swiss bank accounts -- but how this would be detected I'm not sure. It might also be the case that bank fees, rather than the capital itself, are what's being counted here

The major export: gold. Last year, Nevada exported $3.9 billion worth of gold in total.

So what's the source of that gold? Mining activity's probably not that intense, so I'm thinking -- pawnbrokers?

Switzerland is sucking gold out of Nevada before it reaches our own hands. That's what they do. When wars are won and lost (ask who causes them), all the money stays in Switzerland for all parties so that reparations never have to travel far from the loser to the victor. It's quite disgusting in principle.

Let me know when you finish making noise. That degree isn't helping you right now.

I finished with the “?” The clue was in the lack of additional words after it.

I am still waiting for your oh so informed response however.

Maybe the commies had a hand in it too? Or the illuminati?






(Note the lack of words after the “?” Again? That means it’s over to you. Again)

The Swiss are buying gold? So what? Do you suppose there is none left for you to buy?
