In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This 'Black Gold' gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years.

"Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a sweet story for kids that takes place in Seabreeze Cove, a small beach town. The stars of the story are Lily, Bailey's owner and best friend, and Bailey, a Golden Retriever who likes to explore. They fit together perfectly because they are always looking for fun and new things to do. Every day feels like a brand-new, exciting adventure for them. As they walk along the beach one sunny morning, Bailey's nose picks up a scent that is different from the smell of the water and the salty air. This scent starts their most recent trip. Because Bailey has such a great sense of smell, their trips have always been exciting, and this time is no different. They start their adventure when they find a treasure map partly buried in the sand. The map has beautiful pictures of a tall lighthouse, a delicate seashell, and palm trees. The map shows big experiences and hidden things that need to be found. The map in hand and a strong will to find the hidden treasure in Seabreeze Cove gave Lily and Bailey the courage to go. They visit other places on the map that their travels lead them to, like a grove of palm trees, a beautiful lighthouse, and a quiet bay full of seashells. They have setbacks and disappointments along the way, but their friendship and drive help them get through it. Finally, they find a treasure chest hidden in the sand of the faraway cove. Their finding backs up the idea that what makes them valuable is their friendship and the fun things they do together. They find many beautiful seashells and pearls inside the chest, along with a note that says, "The real treasure is the adventures you share and the love you hold." As Lily and Bailey go home with their new finds, they think about the day and decide that their best quality is their friendship. When the story ends, they are sound asleep, dreaming of new experiences. They are sure that their friendship will always be a treasure, no matter where their travels take them. "Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a story about excitement, friendship, and the fun of finding something new. It teaches kids about the importance of working together, having lasting friendships, and the strong bond between a child and her dog. This is how the story starts: Bailey was a smart and brave puppy who used to live in Seabreeze Cove, a cute seaside town. As a Golden Retriever, Bailey was full of life and had a great sense of fun. He had so much energy and could make every day an exciting experience and his family loved him. Between the wide ocean and the rising hills is Seabreeze Cove, a lovely place to hide away. Along the gravel roads were cute homes with gardens full of bright flowers that looked like they were dancing in the light sea breeze. The quiet people who lived in Seabreeze Cove loved their peaceful life, and Bailey, the active and daring dog, made the neighborhood a lot of fun. Bailey's boundless energy comes from his owner, a sweet little girl named Lily. As soon as Lily and Bailey met, they fell in love and couldn't be apart. They became best friends and stories about them spread all over Seabreeze Cove. Bailey was a wonderful dog who loved life very much. Even the dullest days could be turned into amazing trips with his magic. Bailey's eyes would light up with joy every morning as the sun rose over the sparkling water, and he would kiss Lily awake, eager to start their new journey. Lily and Bailey were always happy and excited when they got to Seabreeze Cove because they saw each day as a new adventure to be found. Lily and Bailey would start their trips together as the sun rose, making the sky a world of pink and gold. The ritual brought them closer together because it promised them excitement and new things every day. The sandy beach of the cove was where they played. It was a big space where they could run and chase birds for as long as they wanted. Bailey would run on the sand, leaving paw prints that showed where they had been, and his happy barks would fill the air. Lily would laugh as she looked at her loyal friend. His golden coat would shine like a happy star in the warm sun. They loved rolling around in the soft, foamy sea foam because it tickled their skin and made them want to play. The smooth salt air carried by the sea breeze made people dream of faraway places and riches that haven't been found yet. Early explorers felt the same way when they went out into the unknown: full of excitement. Lily and Bailey were no different. Their travels took them to places they hadn't been before, where rocks and sand met suddenly. Lily and Bailey would look into these secret places with awe and amazement, saying they would find buried wonders. They gathered seashells of every color you can think of driftwood with stories about the sea, and their footprints to show that they had been in these remote places of the world. Lily was interested in Bailey for hours because he was always asking questions, and he seemed to have endless energy. He would follow his nose as he looked into the secrets of the beach, checking out every nook and cranny. Lily would follow him, and her heart would burst with gratitude for her brave puppy.
