"Apple - the Symbol of Sin" in Jersey aka the Paradise Island

Apple has been the forbidden fruit - the "symbol of sin" ever since Adam & Eve emerged from the Garden of Eden.....
Yet the search for the modern-day £millions of the Apple Corporation  continues and on  the very same day ( 16 December 2017) that ATTAC France  came to Jersey looking for the modern Apple £millions in the Island (that some call the Garden of Eden aka Paradise)....

...yet another "major hoard" of ancient buried treasure was front-page news in the Jersey Evening Post.

So ATTAC were in Jersey looking for the Apple millions in this little Island but this has been the hiding place for thousands of years for "secret treasure" because other similar burials have been found over many years.

Already the local Jersey museum has been cleaning the huge bag of buried gold coins and jewellery discovered just five years ago and now reckoned to be worth many £millions.

But of course the question is who buried these treasures in the first place 2,000 years ago and who do they belong to now?

Obviously Jersey has been a hiding-place for "hidden treasure" for a very long time and the "Tax haven" business is very long established.
Perhaps these treasures are the true "pommes de terre" for which Jersey likes to be famous?
Maybe this ancient Breton gold was the profit from some historic apple cyder-making business 2,000 years ago - who knows - but maybe ATTAC must dig in the farmyards of Jersey rather than knocking on the doors of the Jersey lawyers and banks...

If ATTAC does find the Apple Corporation loot - or the buried treasure from thousands of other businesses and individuals here or around the word in the hundreds of other little "finance centres" - what will they do with it?

Who does it all really belong to and how might the wealth be more properly shared....?

  1. I think this story might explain why my blog had 15,000 hits in one day a few days ago, 4,000 from France alone. But Tom, where is the video you made of the event? I know VFC downloaded it.
