Can this be related to the stolen Japanese/Chinese/Korean Gold that the allies stole from the axis powers after the war? The tunnels in the Philippines and Indonesia were epic. Could we (the international banking cartels and their willing lackeys in the United States government/military/industrial complex) done the same?
That's about the sum of it, though Pappy was just a front man for the cabal. Course, he did buy a lot of Texas and oil.
