The Great Silver Mystery (...and the greatest secret of all time!)
Bix Weir
During WWII, in order for
the scientists to enrich enough Uranium
for the A-bomb they had to make the
largest electro magnet ever built. It would be called a
Calutron and according
to the narrator, they needed many tons of
copper wiring which they claim was not
available at the time due to war shortages. Instead of copper
they went to the
US Treasury and "borrowed"
14,700 TONS OF SILVER. (...of course
silver is a much
better conductor of electricity
than copper,
so the copper shortage story was
likely intentionally planted to conceal
the necessity of silver).
My Conclusions:
1)
The Manhattan Project needed and received 470,000,000 ozs of silver for the
Calutrons in 1941.
2) There was no reason to
"give back" the silver in
1954 because it would just sit in a vault and the
enriched uranium was the most important item in the world to the new nuclear
super power. According to the program, enriched uranium was very difficult to
mass produce and the calutrons were the best at it.
3) The US could
retrieve
the silver when it was needed it
by dismantling the calutrons.
4) The calutrons ran for
50 years without any technological obsolescence.

5)
In the 1990's something
changed such that the US had to a) shutdown the calutrons for three years
b) bring them back on line for a few years c) then completely
dismantle them by order of the DOE.
6) From1995-1998
approximately 10,000 additional tons of US silver
was exported to the UK to
suppress the physical silver market on the LME (London-metal-exchange).
7) The
mid 1990's corresponds directly with the "strong dollar policy" (fixing of the commodity
markets by Greenspan, Clinton, Rubin etc.)
