So, the question of the day is What is SIMBL Agent? What is it doing? And should I be concerned at 30gb+ of space being consumed? (OK, so thats 3 questions of the day! ) MacBook Pro (early fall 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.5) Helpful Answersby BobHarris, Kappy I have this question too (0) Categories: Using Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard Tags: using_macosx_v10.5, mac_os_x_v.10.5 Level 10 (169,060 points) Kappy Tampa, FL and Vancouver, BC Re: SIMBL Agent--what is it and why is its virtual memory footprint 30gb+? Jan 30, 2011 10:19 AM (in response to AstroMacMan) See this information. The amount of +virtual memory+ is a function of the program but does not actually involve any memory (hence the word, virtual.) If you use Activity Monitor what you should look at is

Real, not Virtual memory. The latter is irrelevant except to the developer. Since SIMBL is a third-party add-on you had to install it or other software that installed it. Although you can remove SIMBL, if you do then whatever you use that requires SIMBL will stop working.

Feb 1, 2011 9:51 AM (in response to Kappy) Thanks for the reply! My understanding is that virtual memory uses hard drive space... so 30 GB+ is excessive, right? Or, has "virtual memory" taken on a new meaning in Leopard, or OS X. Yeah, it was installed by a 3rd party Safari extension. It's intriguing... quit the process and it goes down to 8 gb, but is still there! Quit it again, and it does vanish--only to reappear a second or two later-- and back at 30 gb. This happens whether Safari is running or not (that needs more systematic checking, but quitting Safari did NOT change the VM usage).

Now, it seems to me it would be of interest to an end user, if it means that the computer is swapping to the hard drive back and forth from real memory (hence, my supposition of what's could be leading to fan noise), or if it means that a HUGE amount or % of the hard drive is being used by the virtual memory space. There's little or no CPU usage when the fan is going beserk!

Feb 1, 2011 11:02 AM (in response to AstroMacMan) Thanks for the reply! My understanding is that virtual memory uses hard drive space... so 30 GB+ is excessive, right? Or, has "virtual memory" taken on a new meaning in Leopard, or OS X. Virtual Memory information is mostly meaningless, except to software developers and very few of them. Virtual Memory is often times lled with holes of unused address space. The application code is mapped into this space, and the disk used for this is the actual executable code.

All the shared libraries and application frameworks that the application uses are mapped into the virtual address space, often times with empty gaps in the address space. Again the disk used are the shared library and framework les. If the application has loadable modules, such as browser or photoshop add-ons, then these get mapped into virtual address space. And the disk for this comes from the add-on les. Also these add-ons are most likely mapped into the virtual address space with gaps between them and other code. Then comes the data used by the application. This comes in different avors. Some might be memory mapped les, where an explicit le accessed as if it is part of memory (vs doing read/write operations). If the le is huge, then the virtual address space needed to map it will be large as well. Or an application can memory map a bunch of smaller les, but if you have enough of them then that adds up to a lot of virtual address space. NOTE: when memory mapping a le, the application has the opiton of specifying where in the virtual address space it would like the le to be mapped. So it is very possible for an application to specify they would like to map a le at the 29GB address offset, and everything from the lower address up to the now memory mapped le at 29GB is

empty address space. No RAM and no disk associated with this gap. So far everything I've mentioned does not need swaple space, as real les are used for all of the above. The application stack is mapped into the virtual address space. Since the stack grows as the application calls subroutines, it is necessary to leave lots of unmapped addresses for the stack to grow into. Since most stacks to not grow that big, a lot of that virtual address space is never mapped to RAM nor disk. And there is the actual data being worked on by the application. This could be local variables used as part of the program ow control, or it could be buffers used to hold data the program is working on. This data would get allocated potential space in swaples (/var/vm/swaple*), however, if the operating system does not run out of RAM, then it will not need to actually create any additional space in the swaples. Now I have no idea what your 30GB application is doing with all of its virtual address space. And it is possible that it is using all of it, and forcing RAM to /var/vm/ swaple* les. If you really want to know, you can always use the vmmap command from a terminal (man vmmap).

However, in my experience, no one really cares. All they really want to know is whether their Mac is spending a lot of time paging. And for that I like to use Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal sar -g 50 100 The command will display pageout information once a minute for 100 minutes (adjust values to suite your tastes). Now you do your normal work. When you come back an look at the sar output, if it is mostly zero or some small values, or a momentary burst, then you really do not need to worry. If you have sustained high values, or if you notice a the Mac is slow at the same time you getting high pageout numbers, then you could benet from more memory, or running fewer apps at the same time.

Am I mis-remembering that "Virtual Memory" in the old days (maybe System 7-9) did involve page swapping to the hard drive? Or, was that a different term for the memory written to the hard drive?

This helped meRe: SIMBL Agent--what is it and why is its virtual memory footprint 30gb+? Feb 10, 2011 8:31 AM (in response to AstroMacMan) Not really a different term but used in an unusual way. In Activity Monitor the VM gure relates to the maximum amount of VM the application is able to access but is not a measure of VM in use. The indirect measure of VM in use is provided in Activity Monitor by the PageIn and PageOuts gures. The direct measure can be obtained in the Terminal using vm_stat or looking at the Swap Used gure in Activity Monitor in the System Memory tab. If you select All Processes from the Processes menu then double-click on the CPU heading to display in descending order any process using a large amount of CPU time will be displayed at the top of the list.

Overview Norovirus is a very contagious virus. You can get norovirus from an infected person, contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated surfaces. The virus causes your stomach or intestines or both to get inamed (acute gastroenteritis). This leads you to have stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea and to throw up. Anyone can be infected with norovirus and get sick. Also, you can have norovirus illness many times in your life. Norovirus illness can be serious, especially for young children and older adults. Norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States. Each year, it causes about 21 million illnesses and contributes to about 70,000 hospitalizations and 800 deaths. Norovirus is also the most common cause of foodbornedisease outbreaks in the United States. The best way to help prevent norovirus is to practice proper hand washing and general cleanliness.

Norovirus, better known as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common stomach bug in the UK, affecting people of all ages. The virus, which is highly contagious, causes vomiting and diarrhoea. As there is no specic cure, you have to let it run its course, but it should not last more than a couple of days. If you get norovirus, make sure you drink plenty of uids to avoid dehydration and practise good hygiene to help prevent it from spreading.

What are DNA and RNA? DNA is the blueprint for making humans. It is a long molecule made up of stucktogether bits called bases which come in 4 avours C A G and T. These are the letters in which our genetic code is written. The DNA double helix is made up of two strands that line up side by side. Each strand is a string of bases, and the two strands are held together by chemical bonds between the bases on opposite strands. A pairs with T, and C pairs with G. To get from DNA to a protein, a working copy of the DNA needs to be made. The copy is called messenger RNA, or mRNA. RNA is closely related to DNA but looks a little different. mRNA is the template which tells a cell how to put a protein together. Whenever a cell makes any protein including the huntingtin protein it does so by reading the instructions in the mRNA that corresponds to that protein.

Interfering with huntingtin mRNA or shooting the messenger prevents the huntingtin protein from being put together, and is the basis of gene silencing in RNA interference.

Mice, men share 99 percent of genes December 04, 2002|Marsha Walton CNN When it comes to DNA, it turns out there's not that much difference between mice and men. Mice and humans each have about 30,000 genes, yet only 300 are unique to either organism. Both even have genes for a tail, even though it's not "switched on" in humans.

As part of RTBs creation model, we assert that its possible to understand the DNA similarity between humans and other animals (including chimps) as reecting the work of a Creator. (A more detailed presentation of the RTB Human Origins Model can be found in Who Was Adam?) Genesis 2 teaches that Adam and the beasts of the eld and birds of the air were made from the same stuff, namely the dust of the Earth. If this is the case, then the biological similarities between humans and other animals, like chimps, is expected. The DNA similarity can be understood as reecting the work of a Creator who used the same materials and the same design templates to make humans and chimps. Some of the genetic difference can be understood as intentionally introduced by the Creator to make each creature unique.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2010 Variable Constants? Whether all the constants in science (especially physics) are truly constant is a question that sometimes comes up (often, with respect to the anthropic principle and a ne tuned universe). Obviously, such a thing would have huge implications for the assumptions and the conclusions of science.

A third reason for studying human genetics is that it gives us a powerful tool for understanding and describing human evolution. At one time, data from physical anthropology (including information about skin color, body build, and facial traits) were the only source of information available to scholars interested in tracing human evolutionary history. Today, however, researchers have a wealth of genetic data, including molecular data, to call upon in their work.

How do we measure genetic variation within and between populations? The most direct way to measure genetic differences, or genetic variation, is to estimate how often two individuals differ at a specic site in their DNA sequences -that is, whether they have a different nucleotide base pair at a specic location in their DNA. First, DNA sequences are obtained from a sample of individuals. The sequences of all possible pairs of individuals are then compared to see how often each nucleotide differs. When this is done for a sample of humans, the result is that individuals differ, on average, at only about one in 1300 DNA base pairs. In other words, any two humans are about 99.9 percent identical in terms of their DNA sequences.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer genes 1 and 2) are the most well-known genes linked to breast cancer risk. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations can be passed to you through your mothers or father s side of the family and can affect the risk of both female and male cancers. Like other gene mutations, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are rare in the general population. In the U.S., between one in 400 and one in 800 people in the general population carry a BRCA mutation. However, prevalence varies by ethnic group. Among Ashkenazi Jewish men and women, about one in 40 carry a BRCA mutation [5].

It's all there in the code, but the code is nothing without the stuff that powers the code. Genes represent only a tiny fraction -- 1 percent -- of our overall genetic material. Then there's the other 99 percent of our DNA -- the stuff that doesn't make protein.

What is a French Grande cole? In France, the majority of managers and executives in both industry and commerce are graduates of Grandes coles. More than 60% of the presidents and managing directors of the 100 largest French companies are graduates from these coles. The French "ingnieur" that graduates from a Grande cole plays an essential role in the research and development of innovative technologies such as the Ariane satellite launcher, the European Airbus, the High Speed Train System (Train Grande Vitesse TGV), electro-nuclear power stations, software development, etc. The international scientic community recognizes these engineers in their elds; some are members of the Acadmie des Sciences. The Grandes coles, the leading institutions for educating engineers and managers in France, deliver graduate degrees. The "diplme d'ingnieur", (equivalent to a Master of Engineering) is accredited by the Commission des Titres d'Ingnieurs, created in 1934. The Grandes coles are characterized by the following: - A rigorous selection procedure * This requirement makes the Grandes Ecoles very competitive and can lead to a hierarchy following relatively steady

criteria. Admission is based on a nation-wide examination or on records, * Of 800,000 pupils in a class of age, each year nearly 500,000 pass the Baccalaureate, the nal secondary teaching examination. The top students normally choose the scientic Baccalaureate and around 140,000 manage to obtain it. Those that pass with distinction may enter the preparatory classes. After two or three years of university level preparatory studies, more than 10,000 sit the entrance examinations for the cole Centrale Paris. The cole Centrale Paris accepts around 330 each year that are amongst the 800 best science students in France, * All of the students, including those coming from abroad or those coming from University, are judged on the same selection criteria. - High level teaching programs that are both varied and adaptable * Long studies (4 to 6 years), broad-based and general (except in specialized Grandes Ecoles) with a strong emphasis on basic knowledge in the core disciplines, a multidisciplinary approach and the acquisition of working methods and tools, * Mobility and various backgrounds of the teaching staff: beside permanent faculty, composed of academic experts, guest and

visiting lecturers coming from industry, consultancies and the professions guarantee openness and efciency, *Teacher/student ration around 1/10, * Integrated and exible education methods: based on lectures but also on small class work, case study, individual or team projects, on the growing use of new methods and tools such as computers, audio-visual, language laboratories, information and * communication technologies, data bases etc, Complemented by continuous education programs for managers in management and advanced technologies. - Traditional links with industry * That ensure periods of industrial training, * Allowing contributions from part time lecturers from French and international industry, from consultants or technical or service professionals in general. - A capacity for adaptation and cooperation * That guarantees the autonomy of each Grande cole to develop its own programs, often in liaison with other establishments, within the French education structure,

* Allowing the establishments to remain modest in size and human in character (300 to 4,000 students) and to pool resources regionally, thus attaining the dimension of technological universities. - Advanced research * That allows rapid research and development activity in the European Union, * That leads to more than 1,000 PhDs per year, * That facilitates the collaboration of groups of Grandes coles with regional economic activities and companies specializing in specic technologies, as well as an interaction with similar networks abroad. - An European and international dimension * That brings direct experience of foreign languages and cultures thanks to student exchanges, to teaching teams, to project work and to industrial experience abroad,

* That reinforces technical and management disciplines, an international presence, either individually or collectively, with their international partners.

Ivy League Ivy League is the name generally applied to eight universities (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale) that over the years have had common interests in scholarship as well as in athletics. Stanley Woodward, New York Herald Tribune sports writer, coined the phrase in the early thirties. In 1936 the undergraduate newspapers of these universities simultaneously ran an editorial advocating the formation of an ``Ivy League,'' but the rst move toward this end was not taken until 1945. In that year, the eight presidents entered into an agreement ``for the purpose of reafrming their intention of continuing intercollegiate football in such a way as to maintain the values of the game, while keeping it in tting proportion to the main purposes of academic life.'' To achieve this objective two inter-university committees were appointed: one, made up primarily of the college deans, was to administer rules of eligibility; the other, composed of the athletic directors, was to establish policies on the length of the playing season and of preseason practice, operating budgets, and related matters. Two other inter-university committees on admission and nancial aid were added later.

As President Dodds pointed out at the time, the general principles agreed on by the eight universities were essentially the same as those set forth in the Harvard-YalePrinceton Presidents' Agreement of 1916 (see Big Three). The rst step toward organizing full league competition came in 1952 with the announcement that, beginning with the fall of 1953, each college would play every other college in the group at least once every ve years. This plan was superseded in 1954 when the presidents announced the adoption of a yearly round-robin schedule in football, starting in 1956, and approved the principle of similar schedules in ``as many sports as practicable.'' Thereafter, the Ivy Group (as the league was called in the Presidents' Agreement of 1954) established schedules in other sports, including some in existing leagues with nonIvy members. As of 1977, the Ivy League colleges competed, round-robin, in football, soccer, basketball, and, with certain variations as noted, in baseball (also Army and Navy), fencing (except Brown and Dartmouth), ice hockey (except Columbia), squash (except Brown, Columbia, and Cornell), swimming (except Columbia, but also Army and Navy), tennis (also Army and Navy), and wrestling (except Brown and Dartmouth). Ivy championships in crosscountry and track were determined at the annual Heptagonal Meets, in golf at an Ivy

championship tournament, and in rowing at the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Regatta. The mid-seventies brought the inclusion of women's teams in the Ivy League program with the institution of championship tournaments in basketball and ice hockey, and a move toward round-robin competition in eld hockey, lacrosse, and other sports. Other instances of increasing formalization of the Ivy League occurred in the seventies -- two of them involving Princetonians. Since 1971, the Bushnell Cup has been awarded to the Ivy football player of the year, who is selected by vote of the eight coaches. This trophy, presented to the Ivy League by the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Ofcials, was named in honor of Asa S. Bushnell '21, the rst commissioner of the Eastern College Athletic Conference, in appreciation of ``his great contribution to the advancement of college athletics.'' In 1973, to provide greater coordination of the athletic interests of the eight universities, the post of executive director of the Council of Ivy League Presidents was created, and Ricardo A. Mestres '31, nancial vice-president and treasurer of the University, emeritus, was elected rst incumbent. Mestres served in this post until

1976, when he was succeeded by James M. Litvack, visiting lecturer in economics and public affairs in the University. From Alexander Leitch, A Princeton Companion, copyright Princeton University Press (1978). Go to Search A Princeton Companion

Net Threat: The Dangers From Global Web Regulation - Robert Pepper 3 Oct 2012 "A grave threat to the Internet as we know it has emerged as part of well-intentioned, but fatally awed proposals to update an international telecommunications treaty. If these radical changes are adopted, the results could be devastating. It could break the global Internet into unconnected islands of national or regional networks, extend telecommunications regulations to computing, or lead to onerous government regulation of the Internet." Is the WCIT Indeed Wicked? 2 Oct 2012 "The best way ahead is rst of all to untangle the mess, see what the issues are, which ones are national problems and which need international attention, and to then decide which is the best group to handle them. It should be an all-encompassing effort from everyone involved, and indeed in close cooperation and collaboration." U.N.

What to Say About the Treaty on the ITRs: Crib Notes 28 Sep 2012 "Look past the panic over December's World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT); it's unlikely to be a catastrophe for several practical reasons: (1) the negotiation lasts ten days, so there is not enough time for 193 countries to agree on how to phrase catastrophe (2) large multilateral events tend to converge, like so many voters, on the centre, and (3) the putative chairman of the event is a seasoned grown-up, and will not allow the treaty to break the global information grid. So we can, from now, put hyperbole aside. It creates tension and encourages animosity, and we need none of that in Dubai." Steve Pearlstein and the Internet Ecosystem Verizon PolicyBlog 27 Sep 2012 "The key to success in such a fast-changing environment isnt developing clairvoyance. Its keeping a mind open to numerous possibilities, having the discipline to

experiment with several conicting strategies and moving quickly to embrace one of them when the direction of the market becomes clear.A second lesson is that as long as the technology remains unsettled, so will be the business models around that technology.

The decisions taken in Dubai in December have the potential to put government handcuffs on the Net. To prevent that and keep the Internet open and free for the next generations we need to prevent a fundamental shift in how the Internet is governed.

It may be hard for the billions of Web users or the optimists of Silicon Valley to believe that an obscure agency of the U.N. can threaten their Internet, but authoritarian regimes are busy lobbying a majority of the U.N. members to vote their way.

Why is this Happening? From the beginning, the Internet has been governed almost exclusively by the engineers who designed it and who continue to enhance and extend its capabilities. The core standards and protocols are overseen by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Website domain names and IP addresses are registered by ICANN. And the constant redesign of the Web itself is the job of the World Wide Web Consortium. These are all multi-stakeholder, non-governmental organizations, beholden only to the over two billion Internet users around the world. Its not much of a stretch to say that the Internet works as well as it does precisely because it has managed to stay largely immune from interference and oversight from traditional governmentsslowmoving, expensive, secretive, jealous, partisan governments.

Today we face a dependency on government largesse for almost every need. Our liberties are restricted and government operates outside the rule of law, protecting and rewarding those who buy or coerce government into satisfying their demands. Here are a few examples: Undeclared wars are commonplace. Welfare for the rich and poor is considered an entitlement. The economy is overregulated, overtaxed and grossly distorted by a deeply awed monetary system. Debt is growing exponentially. The Patriot Act and FISA legislation passed without much debate have resulted in a steady erosion of our 4th Amendment rights. Tragically our government engages in preemptive war, otherwise known as aggression, with no complaints from the American people. The drone warfare we are pursuing worldwide is destined to end badly for us as the hatred builds for innocent lives lost and the international laws aunted. Once we are nancially weakened and militarily challenged, there will be a lot resentment thrown our way.

Its now the law of the land that the military can arrest American citizens, hold them indenitely, without charges or a trial. Rampant hostility toward free trade is supported by a large number in Washington. Supporters of sanctions, currency manipulation and WTO trade retaliation, call the true free traders isolationists. Sanctions are used to punish countries that dont follow our orders. Bailouts and guarantees for all kinds of misbehavior are routine. Central economic planning through monetary policy, regulations and legislative mandates has been an acceptable policy. Excessive government has created such a mess it prompts many questions: Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison? Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk? Why cant Americans manufacturer rope and other products from hemp?

Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution? Why is Germany concerned enough to consider repatriating their gold held by the FED for her in New York? Is it that the trust in the U.S. and dollar supremacy beginning to wane? Why do our political leaders believe its unnecessary to thoroughly audit our own gold? Why cant Americans decide which type of light bulbs they can buy? Why is the TSA permitted to abuse the rights of any American traveling by air? Why should there be mandatory sentences even up to life for crimes without victims as our drug laws require? Why have we allowed the federal government to regulate commodes in our homes? Why is it political suicide for anyone to criticize AIPAC ? Why havent we given up on the drug war since its an obvious failure and violates the peoples rights? Has nobody noticed that the authorities cant even keep drugs out of the

prisons? How can making our entire society a prison solve the problem? Why do we sacrice so much getting needlessly involved in border disputes and civil strife around the world and ignore the root cause of the most deadly border in the world-the one between Mexico and the US? Why does Congress willingly give up its prerogatives to the Executive Branch? Why does changing the party in power never change policy? Could it be that the views of both parties are essentially the same? Why did the big banks, the large corporations, and foreign banks and foreign central banks get bailed out in 2008 and the middle class lost their jobs and their homes? Why do so many in the government and the federal ofcials believe that creating money out of thin air creates wealth? Why do so many accept the deeply awed principle that government bureaucrats and politicians can protect us from ourselves without totally destroying the principle of liberty? Why cant people understand that war always destroys wealth and liberty?

Why is there so little concern for the Executive Order that gives the President authority to establish a kill list, including American citizens, of those targeted for assassination? Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when its wrong. Why is it is claimed that if people wont or cant take care of their own needs, that people in government can do it for them? Why did we ever give the government a safe haven for initiating violence against the people? Why do some members defend free markets, but not civil liberties? Why do some members defend civil liberties but not free markets? Arent they the same? Why dont more defend both economic liberty and personal liberty? Why are there not more individuals who seek to intellectually inuence others to bring about positive changes than those who seek power to force others to obey their commands?

Why does the use of religion to support a social gospel and preemptive wars, both of which requires authoritarians to use violence, or the threat of violence, go unchallenged? Aggression and forced redistribution of wealth has nothing to do with the teachings of the world great religions. Why do we allow the government and the Federal Reserve to disseminate false information dealing with both economic and foreign policy? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when its the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? Why should anyone be surprised that Congress has no credibility, since theres such a disconnect between what politicians say and what they do? http://washingtonexaminer.com/ transcript-ron-pauls-farewell-address-tocongress/article/2513544

If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a nding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent. It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of inuence--on inltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efcient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientic and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a

war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.

"There is... little doubt that the American power elite has... planned and plotted... The power elite is not altogether 'surfaced.'... With the wide secrecy covering their operations and decisions, the power elite can mask their intentions, operations and further consolidation.... New men come into it [the power elite] and assume its existence without question." -- from "The Power Elite" (1956) by Columbia University sociologist C. Wright Mills "The nation's immediate problem is that while the common man ghts America's wars, the intellectual elite sets its agenda. Today, whether the West lives or dies is in the hands of its new power elite: those who set the terms of public debate, who manipulate the symbols, who decide whether nations or leaders will be depicted on 100 million television sets as 'good' or 'bad.' This power elite sets the limits of the possible for Presidents and Congress. It molds the impressions that move the nation, or that mire it." -- from "The Real War" (1980) by President Richard Nixon "At the national level, this conditioning of the public might be brought about via certain crises, such as a terrorist attack... For the sake of peace and security, people may be willing to give up certain of their freedoms to some extent."

Organizational Structure As of March 2006, the BIS had 55 shareholding central banks from around the world. As of March 2006, the Banks assets were approximately $221 billion, including $5.8 billion of its own funds. When the BIS initially raised capital, participating banks were given the option to buy BIS shares or arrange for those shares to be bought by the public. Currently, 86 percent of the shares of the BIS are registered in the names of central banks, and 14 percent are held by private shareholders. The shares owned by private shareholders consist of part of the French and Belgian issues and all of the shares that were in the original U.S. issue in 1930.

The Happiest Countries In The World Posted: June 1, 2011 at 6:36 am The Happiest Countries in the World 10. Austria > Life Satisfaction Score: 8.39 > Debt As a Pct. of GDP: 65.7% (23rd lowest highest) > Employment Rate: 7.87 (9th best) > Self-Reported Health: 6.57 (19th best) > Employees Working Long Hours: 8.01 (24th best) > Disposable Income: 5.34 (3rd best) > Educational Attainment: 8.43 (13th best) > Life Expectancy: 7.58 (13th best) Austria has the one of the highest levels of scores for disposable income (the amount of money the household earns after taxes) in the OECD. Roughly 72% of Austrians between the ages of 15 and 64 are working, compared to the OECD average of 65%. Only 1.13% of working-age Austrians have been unemployed for more than a year, compared to an average of 2.7% across the 34 OECD nations, which contributes to the countrys long-term employment. According to the OECDs latest economic outlook report, Austrian businesses have largely avoided having to implement layoffs to offset the effect of the recession, employing practices like labor hoarding which reduces working hours and requires workers to work part-time and share job shifts.

9. Israel > Life Satisfaction Score: 8.71 > Debt As a Pct. of GDP: 74.7% (26th lowest) > Employment Rate: 4.23 (25th best) > Self-Reported Health: 8.29 (10th best) > Employees Working Long Hours: 5.05 (29th best) > Disposable Income: n/a > Educational Attainment: 8.46 (12th best) > Life Expectancy: 8.24 (8th best) Israel is an outlier among OECD nations because it has a relatively high life satisfaction score, but performs poorly for many of the 19 quality of life measurements. For example, Israel has the sixth worst scores for student reading and the fourth worst scores for long hours worked, with 0.23% of workers maintaining extremely long hours compared to a OECD average of less than .1%. However, Israels score for household wealth (which measures the total worth of a familys income and property after liabilities) is the fth-highest across all nations on this list. Each household has an average estimated wealth of more than $62,000, compared to an average of less than $37,000. Part of the reason is low taxes the country has an income tax rate of 6.3% of GDP, the sixthlowest in the OECD.

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that proted from their involvement with the nancial backers of Nazi Germany. The Guardian has obtained conrmation from newly discovered les in the US National Archives that a rm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the nancial architects of Nazism. His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

Unless the economy recovers quickly, the pressure on central bankers to do more will only increase. The BIS worries that this puts at risk central banks price stability objective, their credibility and, ultimately, their independence. True enough, but as long as the likely alternative to heroic measures is a global slump, there will be no realistic alternative. In a new Great Depression, these principles will be even harder to defend than they are today.

Who is a Jew? A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism. It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultraOrthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship. See What Is Judaism? This has been established since the earliest days of Judaism. In the Torah, you will see many references to "the strangers who dwell among you" or "righteous proselytes" or "righteous strangers." These are various classications of non-Jews who lived among Jews, adopting some or all of the beliefs and practices of Judaism without going through the formal process of conversion and becoming Jews.

Once a person has converted to Judaism, he is not referred to by any special term; he is as much a Jew as anyone born Jewish.

http://www.jewfaq.org/whoisjew.htm

Who is a Jew according to Halacha (Jewish Law)? According to Jewish law, a child born to a Jewish mother or an adult who has converted to Judaism is considered a Jew; one does not have to reafrm their Jewishness or practice any of the laws of the Torah to be Jewish. According to Reform Judaism, a person is a Jew if they were born to either a Jewish mother or a Jewish father. Also, Reform Judaism stresses the importance of being raised Jewish; if a child is born to Jewish parents and was not raised Jewish then the child is not considered Jewish. According to the Orthodox movement, the fathers religion and whether the person practices is immaterial. No afrmation or upbringing is needed, as long as the mother was Jewish.

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ jsource/Judaism/whojew1.html

About the Jew Score We evaluate how Jewish a person is based on three factors. How Jewish they are internally, how Jewish they are externally and how much we want that person to be a Jew in the rst place. In practice, the I Score tends to refer to birth history with some adjustments for how we imagine they see/saw themselves. The O Score is for how Jewish they look and act. The K Score stands for Kvell (pride) and is subject to the whims of the creators of this website. Each score ranges from 0 to 5. The Jew Score refers to our opinion only and is affected by but not denitive of one's actual Jewishness.

Warnings If you want to convert to Judaism, it's a 100% commitment, meaning you have to renounce ALL tenets of your former faith - including Christmas and Easter. Orthodox Jews don't consider other branches of Judaism "valid" because they don't do things their way. Judaism is the most EXPENSIVE religion, and you may or may not want to deal with that.

I am a non-Jew who is considering proposing to my girlfriend, who is Jewish. She has said she wants to be married in a Jewish temple/ synagogue. Are we able to be married there if I am not Jewish? Click here for a(n) Orthodox answer by Rabbi Stuart Grant You would not be able to be married in an Orthodox Jewish synagogue nor mostly likely in a Conservative Jewish temple. From an orthodox perspective intermarriage is the greatest threat to Jewish continuity and is greatly discouraged. You might want to investigate Judaism to see if it appeals to you, and if you would consider converting even if you were not marrying a Jewish woman. In that case after a period of study and Jewish practice you could convert and be welcomed even in an orthodox synagogue. Answered by: Rabbi Stuart Grant Click here for a(n) Conservative answer by Rabbi Ute Steyer How wonderful that you have found someone that you plan to share your future with. I understand from your question that you have not converted to Judaism but that your girlfriend would like to get married in a synagogue (I assume in a Jewish wedding ceremony). Jewish law (halakha) requires that both participants are Jewish by birth or have converted to Judaism prior to marriage. The

traditional branches of Judaism (which includes Conservative Judaism) will not allow you to get married in a synagogue or elsewhere in a Jewish wedding ceremony and neither will rabbis in those branches ofciate at such a marriage. Answered by: Rabbi Ute Steyer Click here for a(n) Reform answer by Rabbi Bonnie Margulis The question is really whether you want to have a Jewish wedding and be married by a rabbi? If the answer is yes, and if you can nd a rabbi who will perform the wedding, I don't see why it couldn't be in a synagogue. But there is no requirement that a Jewish wedding be held in a synagogue, as a matter of fact, they usually aren't. Jewish weddings can be performed anywhere. Traditionally, they were performed outdoors, in the town square or other public place. Today they are performed in hotel ballrooms, in restaurants, in parks, in reception halls, in private homes, and other places. What makes a wedding Jewish is not its location, but that the ofciant is a rabbi or cantor, that the Jewish blessings are said, the Jewish rituals are observed, and that other religions' traditions are not included. Please be aware that many rabbis will not perform intermarriages, and those who will usually have different criteria under which they will agree to perform the wedding. A Jewish wedding involves blessings and readings that

celebrate the creation of a new Jewish family and establishment of a new Jewish home. I suggest before you and your girlfriend decide to get married, you have some serious conversations about the place Judaism and your religious tradition, if any, will have in your lives together. Your wedding should be a reection of who you both are as individuals and who you intend to be as a married couple. I hope this helps. Answered by: Rabbi Bonnie Margulis

The word "race"is dened as a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits. In most regions of the world, this would apply to skin color, hair texture, and facial features. Saldana's race is black. If you think hard enough about it, I'm sure you would be able to name a few people, who you consider black, who look just like her. And I say all of that, to say this: It's perfectly understandable for there to be some opposition to the casting of Zoe Saldana in the role of Nina Simone, but not because she's Latina. I think the belief that Saldana is stealing jobs from "real" black actresses is an ignorant one; but one that can be easily remedied with a little bit of education. So there you have it. Zoe Saldana-- a selfidentifying black Latina actress. And she's not the only one, either.

Top 10 Military Slang Phrases That Work At Home 1. High and tight. One day I was sitting in the base barber shop as my husband and our son got haircuts. I looked at the men sitting in the chairs around me, clutching their numbered tickets as they waited their turn to be called. And you know what I noticed? Not a single one of them needed a haircut! The stubble on the sides of their heads barely covered their scalps. Thats the high and tight. 2. Bravo Zulu or BZ. Doesnt that sound so much cooler than saying well done? 3. Hit the head Im gonna hit the head. I guess this phrase is better than some of the alternatives to announcing your intention to use the restroom. Its just really strange hearing your 8-year-old son saying it. 4. Soup sandwich. I actually used this phrase when I taught kindergarten. My students thought it was hysterical to imagine trying to eat a sandwich lled with soup. Yes, things are really messed up if you have a soup sandwich on your hands. 5. Mandatory fun. Who hasnt gone to that command picnic or holiday party because their husband was invi-told to attend? Thats mandatory fun. Just remember, this term is ne to use in the privacy of your

own home, but its probably best not to use it while youre at the event itself. 6. and a wake-up My husband will be home in 4 days and a wake-up! That sounds so much more doable than 5 more days, doesnt it? 7. Hooah. I havent quite pinpointed its exact meaning, but it seems to be the comprehensive response to just about anything requiring abundant enthusiasm. 8. Got your 6. I got your back. A phrase all MilSpouses should be saying to each other. 9. Zero dark thirty. This is my daughter s favorite time of day. Really, really, really early in the morning. 10. Rog/Roger/Roger that. My favorite, constant xtures in my emails/phone calls/ text messages. Message received. I understand. Roger that.

Is Free Will an Illusion? Free will has long been a fraught concept among philosophers and theologians. Now neuroscience is entering the fray. For centuries, the idea that we are the authors of our own actions, beliefs, and desires has remained central to our sense of self. We choose whom to love, what thoughts to think, which impulses to resist. Or do we? Neuroscience suggests something else. We are biochemical puppets, swayed by forces beyond our conscious control. So says Sam Harris, author of the new book, Free Will (Simon & Schuster), a broadside against the notion that we are in control of our own thoughts and actions. Harris's polemic arrives on the heels of Michael S. Gazzaniga's Who's In Charge? Free Will and the Science of the Brain (HarperCollins), and David Eagleman's Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain (Pantheon), both provocative forays into a debate that has in recent months spilled out onto op-ed and magazine pages, and countless blogs. What's at stake? Just about everything: morality, law, religion, our understanding of accountability and personal accomplishment, even what it means to be human. Harris predicts that a declaration by the scientic community that free will is an illusion would set off "a culture war

far more belligerent than the one that has been waged on the subject of evolution." The Chronicle Review brought together some key thinkers to discuss what science can and cannot tell us about free will, and where our conclusions might take us.

CNN, the self proclaimed "Most Trusted Name in News", trumpets the headline: "Is eating egg yolks as bad as smoking?" They then proceed to - paraphrasing one of the researchers - deal with the fact that "the general public believes smoking is far worse for your health [than eating eggs]." Perhaps there's a reason for that? The study in question, performed by researchers from the University of Western Ontario's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, and published online in the journal Atherosclerosis, examined 1262 patients, with a mean age of 61.5 years, all of whom were at high risk for heart disease. It found that people who ate a lot of eggs had 2/3 the plaque build-up in their arteries as smokers.

New media, old process Early on the morning of September 1995, Hindus at a temple in Hong Kong claimed that an idol of the god Ganesh was drinking milk. News of the miracle spread with the rising sun helped along by international direct dialling. By nightfall on September 21, millions of believers spilt perhaps hundreds of thousands of litres into gutters across the world. In a thoughtful commentary, the Economic & Political Weekly noted the Milk Miracle was located in the midst of a recrudescence of medieval superstitious beliefs among the educated middle classes which, disillusioned with secular and democratic ideologies and bereft of any alternative and convincing programmes, are today seeking security and solace in miracles provided by religious charlatans. It might have added that the Milk Miracle also demonstrated that millions were turning away from the mass media, one of the key instruments of modernity, to word of mouth.

Not many people realize, that information is the same valuable product, like a brand or production of Mercedes Benz, Louis Vitton, Microsoft. When newspapers or internet-sites publish information without rights for it, and sometimes they even do not refer to a source, they hardly realize they are involved in thievery, or they just pretend that they do not realize it. In fact, a number of leading newspapers, internet and other mass media in western countries close public access or sell it on fee base.

What Is Alternative Media? Alternative media is generally considered to be any type of media that is not under the control of a business operation or syndicate, or a government agency. This form of media may involve traditional outlets such as newspapers and magazines, or radio, television, and movies. Alternative media may also involve the newer media outlets of web sites, e-books and e-magazines, streamed audio and video, or other media outlets that are found online. The main function of alternative media is to offer a different perspective that what is presented in the media that is under the control of a government or a big business. At one time, alternative media was also known as counter-cultural or underground media, terms which helped to identify the media outlets that provided opportunities for dissenting points of view and ideas to be shared outside the established media. This was often thought necessary when other media alternatives were unwilling or unable to offer these dissenting views equal time with views that were more widely held.

The Great Moon Hoax of 1835 Throughout the nal week of August 1835, a long article appeared in serial form on the front page of the New York Sun. It bore the headline: GREAT ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERIES LATELY MADE BY SIR JOHN HERSCHEL, L.L.D. F.R.S. &c. At the Cape of Good Hope [From Supplement to the Edinburgh Journal of Science] The article started by triumphantly listing a series of stunning astronomical breakthroughs the famous British astronomer, Sir John Herschel, had made "by means of a telescope of vast dimensions and an entirely new principle." Herschel, the article declared, had established a "new theory of cometary phenomena"; he had discovered planets in other solar systems; and he had "solved or corrected nearly every leading problem of mathematical astronomy." Then, almost as if it were an afterthought, the article revealed Herschel's nal, stunning achievement. He had discovered life on the moon. The article was an elaborate hoax. Herschel hadn't really observed life on the moon, nor had he accomplished any of the other astronomical breakthroughs credited to him in the article. In fact, Herschel wasn't even aware until much

later that such discoveries had been attributed to him. However, the announcement caused enormous excitement throughout America and Europe. To this day, the moon hoax is remembered as one of the most sensational media hoaxes of all time.

Have you heard the one about how Christians are being nailed up on crucixes and left to die in front of the Egyptian presidential place?

The Egyptian crucixion story gained critical mass ve days ago, when WorldNetDaily, a popular right-wing web site that promotes anti-gay and antiMuslim conspiracy theories from an Evangelical perspective, published a story entitled Arab Spring run amok: [Mulsim] Brotherhood starts crucixions. The Arab Spring takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood has run amok, with reports from several different media agencies that the radical Muslims have begun crucifying opponents of newly installed President Mohammed Morsi, author Michael Carl declared. Middle East media conrm that during a recent rampage, Muslim Brotherhood operatives crucied those opposing Egyptian President

NUCLEAR LOGIC PEASEHEAD - 02/26/2012 - 19:30 I believe that as long as the (White) nations of the West continue to reserve the "right" to possess the most modern nuclear weapons systems for themselves while attempting to deny it to others, non-proliferation is an unworkable non-issue. The fact that the West has allowed (aided and abetted) both apartheid South Africa and Zionist Israel's acquisition of nuclear weapons while attacking others for even attempting to do so, reeks of White racism on an international scale. Why do the nations of the West fret endlessly about Iran triggering a nuclear arms race while, apparently, at the same time having no concern that Israel's nuclear stockpile could have the same effect? The West's practice of selective outrage and selective enforcement when it comes to the issue of nuclear proliferation, proves that at the end of the day, the nations of the West do not want a safer world, they want one in which they remain free to continue to ex their military muscle, whenever and wherever they wish.

My name is Augustino Gnassingbe Eyadema, the 4th son of late president Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo. I hope you are aware that our father died a few weeks ago and our elder brother Faure Gnassingbe in collaboration with some military ofcers took over power from the speaker of the parliament contrary to the provision of the constitution. There was a world wide condemnation of this action and even the Ecowas countries, international community refused to accept it and threatened to sanction our country. My self and my mother stood against our eldest son and he decided to eliminate me and my mother since he has a different mother from mine. Security reports came to us right on time and I and my mother escaped to our neighbouring country of Benin Republic to save our lives. This is where we are at the moment and we want you to come to our rescue by helping us to relocate either to your country or any other country of your choice which you deem safe for us. One of our major problems is that we have some cash money which my mother removed from my late fathers vault in the government house as soon as he died and we do not know how to take this money across to overseas for investment purposes. We would therefore want you to

arrange on how to receive this money in your country. Note that we cannot pass it through a bank here because of the amount of money involved and our present condition, but we can use diplomatic method to courier the box to you if you agree to receive it, after which we will then y to join you. The money is $8M (Eight Million United States Dollars) and we are prepared to compensate you with $3M (Three Million United States Dollars) if you can assist us in receiving and investing the money as well as relocating us. This is our plea. However, if you cannot handle this assignment please keep it secret and dont expose us but if you are prepared to help us, reply this mail and let us agree on how it will be done. There is no risk involved on your side. Presently, we dont have access to telephone but we can arrange to call you secretly when the need arises. Thank you. Augustino Gnassingbe Eyadema.

Where in The World Will You Find A Man More Loved by His People Posted on December 9, 2012 When I was in Syria last year I was constantly told how Bashar Al Assad would visit the houses or businesses of people unannounced. Everyone I spoke to had a dream that one day they would open the door and nd Bashar Al Assad on the doorstep. This is the dream of everyone in Syria; just being in the country you could feel the love for him everywhere. In this lm you will see the reaction of the people when he makes one of these unannounced visits with his wife. He is hugged, he is kissed, where in the world would you see this. Note the date on the lm, it is this year, when the world is accusing him of killing all his people and he is out and about visiting them. Driving himself as he usually does, because he knows he is loved by his people. It is only the likes of Hillary Clinton who makes him out to be a monster, to spread propaganda and lies to get her own way.

Julian Assange Presentation to EU Parliament on Corruption Revealed in Cablegate Wednesday 5th December , 16:00 GMT Julian Assange was asked to present at the European Parliament S&D party seminar on Corruption in member states of the European Union. Bivol made a presentation in this seminar entitled Government Level Corruption and Ties to Organized Crime. Julian Assange spoke as part of this presentation on the wider corruption revealed in Cablegate, and legal cases that have used the cables as evidence. Id like to thank our Bulgarian partner Bivol for their courage and meticulous research over the last two years on many important corruption stories. It has been reported by others, but let me say it again, the work of Bivol is impressive and a model to be followed. Since WikiLeaks was founded in 2007 we have exposed thousands of cases of corruption. But before looking at the specics I want us to y up into the sky for a moment to look down on where we are. The Oxford English dictionary denition of corruption is: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery: the

journalist who wants to expose corruption in high places the action or effect of making someone or something morally depraved the process of decay; putrefaction: the potato turned black and rotten with corruption We must keep these roots of corruption in our minds in order to see clearly. Corruption involves a knowing betrayal of stated purpose, typically for advantage at the expense of others. It is a type of fraud. From this we can look at corruption in practice, and see that corruption runs all the way from corrupt ticket inspectors to corruption at the geopolitical level, where false claims are made by a states leadership in order to justify the invasion and destruction of another state. Weve published a lot about corruption. Corruption hidden by secrecy and corruption hidden by complexity. According to Google, there are more than 1.5 million web pages on WikiLeaks corruption revelations. Cablegate revelations have been used in many court cases from the International Criminal Court (the ICC) to domestic appeals courts. The most recent has been running since July and involves geopolitical

corruption in which the UK government deported the entire native population of the Chagos Islands, turned it into a secret U.S. military base, Diego Garcia, and then conspired with the U.S. to falsely declare it a Marine park to prevent the native population from claiming a right of return. What the UK Government said to try to not testify: Steven Kovats QC, appearing for the UK Government, said: "My clients are not opposing cross-examination because they have anything to hide. We are opposing it because, as a matter of principle, it does not seem right in relation to an improperly leaked document. We, as a matter of principle, do not accept that WikiLeaks can effectively compel the Government to defend something which absent WikiLeaks there would be no question of it coming before the court at all." What the judge said when ordering that the UK Government must testify due to information revealed in WikiLeaks documents: On Wednesday 25th July, Mr Justice Stanley Burnton rejected the Governments objections and ordered that crossexamination should go ahead. He ruled: "I do not see how the present claim can be fairly or justly determined without resolving the

allegation made by the claimant, based on the WikiLeaks documents." Many types of corruption in the cables are covered up, under the "our son of a bitch" doctrine, where one type of corruption, institutional corruption, turns into another, geopolitical corruption. In a September 2009 cable from Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, the U.S. ambassador had lunch with Maxim Bakiyev, the son of President Bakiyev: "Bakiyev came across as very pro-U.S., well educated, and dedicated to the betterment of his country. Of course, we have information from many other sources suggesting that he is also very dedicated to his own advancement and corrupt nancial interests." The US title of that section of the cable? "Smart, Corrupt, and a Good Ally to Have"

Julian Assange: "Online Totalitarianism Is Near, Entire Nations Are Intercepted" Posted by Unknown Lamer on Sunday December 02, @04:21PM from the war-and-disorder dept. dryriver writes "Russia Today's correspondents have visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where Assange has been holed up for nearly 6 months now. In the 12 minute long interview with RT, Assange has many interesting things to say about privacy, and government data interception in particular. A small excerpt: 'The people who control the interception of the Internet and, to some degree also, physically control the big data warehouses and the international ber-optic lines. We all think of the Internet as some kind of Platonic Realm where we can throw out ideas and communications and web pages and books and they exist somewhere out there. Actually, they exist on web servers in New York or Nairobi or Beijing, and information comes to us through satellite connections or through ber-optic cables. So whoever physically controls this controls the realm of our ideas and communications. And whoever is able to sit on those communications channels, can intercept entire nations, and that's the new game in town, as far as state spying is concerned

intercepting entire nations, not individuals. ... So what's happened over the last 10 years is the ever-decreasing cost of intercepting each individual now to the degree where it is cheaper to intercept every individual rather that it is to pick particular people to spy upon.'"

The Verge gets to the crux of SOPAs problem: Now, you may have noticed that while all these rules are totally insane, theyre all at least theoretically restricted to foreign sites dened by SOPA as sites with servers located outside the US. Thats important to know: at its simplest level, SOPA is a kneejerk reaction to the fundamental nature of the internet, which was explicitly designed to ignore outmoded and inconvenient concepts like the continuing existence of the United States. Because US copyright holders generally cant drag a foreign web site into US courts to get them to stop stealing and distributing their work, SOPA allows them to go after the ISPs, ad networks, and payment processors that are in the United States. It is a law borne of the blind logic of revenge: the movie studios cant punish the real pirates, so they are attacking the network instead.

Is this merely people over reacting to the approaching Mayan end date of December 21st, 2012 or is there something to the Mayan end date afterall? Take a look at this image from today (top) and compare it to another recent image of the sun (below). What is going on with the far side of the sun? Why does it appear to be blacked out? SOHO watchers share that this has never happened before in all of their years of sun watching. The excellent video at the bottom of the story shares that many people believe that some type of an exotic solar are event will accompany the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21st, 2012. Is that what is now beginning to occur which is causing this anomaly? According to Spaceweather.com, we have nothing to worry about as sun activity is quite low.

Debunking Conspiracy Theorists: The Tin Foil Mad Hatters Need to Get a Grip by Josh McDonald3 December 20125 Comments If you believe the internet, the Illuminati control the world and aliens built the pyramids. Well I think you should all just shut up and take off your tin hats, you idiots! Conspiracy theorists are stupid people. Thats right, I said it, STUPID PEOPLE! Do you know what really annoys me? Mental conspiracy theorists and their hair brained ideas of what the truth is. When trying to give logical reasoning for the real reasons behind their paranoid ideas, Im usually met with youre ignorant, youre a sheep, open your eyes and look at the bigger picture man!, etc, etc, etc. Conspiracy theorists are by far one of the most ignorant groups of people I have ever had the displeasure to come across. When faced with logical answers that are easily explained, most resort to threats and petty name calling, keeping their heads buried in the sand. So here is what I believe to be logical sane answers to what many people conspiracy theorists are touting as the truth. These are concise answers and by my own admission, are probably not going into enough depth for the crazies, but if you need more truth you can read up on these yourself and

hopefully see the other side of conspiracy madness. 1. 9/11 The Twin Towers Were Demolished With Bombs Theory This is one of many 9/11 theories, but I chose this because of the simple fact so many people believe in it, yet its so easily disproved with logic. See the explosions at the towers? Well below everything else falling, thats apparently an explosion from a charge meant to help with the demolition, implicating a bigger conspiracy and a homegrown plot for this horrible event. OR! It could be gas being pushed through lift shafts from the collapsing oors above, blowing out windows on lower oors. Seriously look at the size of the explosions, then compare it to the size of the building, there is more logic in saying it was gravity that pulled down the towers than explosions. Anyway, moving on. 2. Area 51 This is my all time favourite. It has everything a conspiracy needs: aliens, ying saucers and a lying government. My problem is the aliens part, its just too unbelievable that in all these years (Roswell in 1947), nobody has been able to bring any undeniable proof to the table and oust it

once and for all. Stories of the U.S government apparently cross breeding humans and aliens; its all just too sci- for me. Dont get me wrong, I hold the strong belief there is life out there. But there is no chance it has arrived in America and is being experimented on by the US Government. WHAT ABOUT THE UFOs? I hear you scream, well there is undoubtedly UFOs inside Area 51, but they just have nothing to do with aliens. Extraterrestrial craft have never been to this insignicant little blue dot. If they did, we would know about it. The US government have admitted to lying about covert operations in the past, and the UFO stories are just snowballed from those original lies, Chinese whispers has turned feeble little sightings into fully blown psychiatric conditions in some cases. When testing for the U2 spy plane was at its height, so were UFO sightings. But Im sure to all you free thinkers and truth seekers out there this is just a coincidence.

3. The Pyramids Were Built By Aliens WRONG! Why would a higher intelligence y millions of light-years, to build stone pyramids and then leave no denitive and irrefutable evidence they were ever here? Its just not logical. Humans couldnt have done it alone. Really? There was more than a dedicated workforce working on them, the Pharaohs army of Jewish slaves, with slave drivers whipping them till they couldnt be whipped any more. What about the paintings on the walls of aliens? Well back then people werent known for their artistic accuracy, were they? If David Hockney painted aliens it could possibly mean he wanted to interpret aliens in his work. Ancient Egyptians couldnt even read! Their alphabet was made up of pictures. So to say because something which has a big head or big eyes and was drawn over 2000 years ago is an alien, well, its just plain silly isnt it. Stop reading into things too much. Imagine if you wrote a letter right now saying you were waiting for the guy from Sky to come x your dish, and miraculously it was found thousands of years from now, they could read it and think a man literally from the sky was coming to x your spaceship. A lot of literal and implied meaning can be lost in translation, never mind translating effectively dead languages.

4. The Illuminati / NWO (New World Order) The people who support this theory are fed some of the most unbelievable drivel and believe it to a point of near Biblical fascination. Take this picture of Eminem, for example. Basically the ringed areas are proof of his involvement, yes, thats right; he is an Illuminati puppet because he has an eye and hands This really is shite of the highest order, but people still lap it up. There is seriously very little reason to believe in a NWO, and most of the proof is like this picture. All proof is just coincidences that have been threaded together for a piss poor excuse as to why bad things happen. Apparently they are behind wars, disease, famine and worst of all, the conspiracy theory holy grail, CHEMTRAILS! 5. Chemtrails Basically the governments (or NWO if you are that way inclined) are seeding the skies with chemicals. Why? Nobody is really sure. What with? Again, no idea. What proof do we have for this? Well you know sometimes, you see that trail behind a plane in the sky? Thats the proof there

If you need an in depth explanation of why this is brain food for stupid people, see this insane conspiracy forum post. Take into account the replies this professional got, too, this is what we need to stop. The NWO isnt a problem, but stupid people are, and we need to ditch the dead weight or we will end up with no more advances in society or technology and just become paranoid shutins who trust no-one and shoot anything that moves. If you ever meet someone who believes Princess Diana was assassinated by the Royal family, who are incidentally lizards, just try to talk to them logically, and most of all GOOD LUCK! Because they will put up one hell of a pointless ght.

4. The Pentagon Attack Scientically Doesnt Hold Up The Pentagon crash may be the most puzzling event of the day.

They also question why the plane was not shot down prior to impact, as well as why the plane impacted into a section of the Pentagon that was vacant due to renovations.

Americans Are as Likely to Be Killed by Their Own Furniture as by Terrorism 181 JUN 6 2012, 8:43 AM ET Terrorist attacks killed 17 U.S. civilians last year and 15 the year before. MORE FROM THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS Egypt's Farcical Trial A Nation Polarized China's Real Soft Power Palestinian Disunity Today, the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) released its 2011 Report on Terrorism. The report offers the U.S. government's best statistical analysis of terrorism trends through its Worldwide Incidents Tracking System (WITS), which compiles and vets open-source information about terrorism--dened by U.S. law as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents." Although I invite you to read the entire thirty-one page report, there are a few points worth highlighting that notably contrast with the conventional narrative of the terrorist threat: "The total number of worldwide attacks in 2011, however, dropped by almost 12 percent

from 2010 and nearly 29 percent from 2007." (9) "Attacks by AQ and its afliates increased by 8 percent from 2010 to 2011. A signicant increase in attacks by al-Shabaab, from 401 in 2010 to 544 in 2011, offset a sharp decline in attacks by al-Qa'ida in Iraq (AQI) and a smaller decline in attacks by al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)." (11) "In cases where the religious afliation of terrorism casualties could be determined, Muslims suffered between 82 and 97 percent of terrorism-related fatalities over the past ve years." (14) Of 978 terrorism-related kidnapping last year, only three hostages were private U.S. citizens, or .003 percent. A private citizen is dened as 'any U.S. citizen not acting in an ofcial capacity on behalf of the U.S. government.' (13, 17) Of the 13,288 people killed by terrorist attacks last year, seventeen were private U.S. citizens, or .001 percent. (17) According to the report, the number of U.S. citizens who died in terrorist attacks increased by two between 2010 and 2011; overall, a comparable number of Americans are crushed to death by their televisions or furniture each year. This is not to diminish the real--albeit shrinking-threat of terrorism, or to minimize the loss and suffering of the 13,000 killed and over 45,000 injured around the world. For

Americans, however, it should emphasize that an irrational fear of terrorism is both unwarranted and a poor basis for public policy decisions.

5 Comments Posted by kcsaff June 5, 2012 at 6:30 pm Stats: 3 out of 978 is about 0.3%, not 0.003%. 17 out of 13,288 is about 0.1%, not 0.001%. Posted by Peter Duveen June 6, 2012 at 6:52 am As Mr. Zenko has pointed out (and as was similarly pointed out by John Mueller in an article in the October 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs, and in his book, Overblown), the threat of terrorism is in contrast to a comparable number of Americans (who) are crushed to death by their televisions or furniture each year. If Americans are afraid, it is because the threat is surreptitiously hyped by government agencies and a compliant press. This is particularly true of the so-called domestic terrorist incidents such as bombing plots against synagogues and pipelines, etc., the overwhelming majority, if not all, of which were crafted as FBI as entrapment schemes. When these are announced, public ofcials decry them as if they were real, homegrown plots, and their statements are repeated in the press. The Associated Press, the primary conduit for national and international news, repeats the government meme verbatim, rarely representing any statements to the contrary. We must ask, what is to be gained by such an articial crafting and hyping of the terrorist threat?

Posted by Javed Mir June 6, 2012 at 10:26 am As usual, impartial reporting by Mr. Zenko. This hyping of terrorism should now stop. Men and resources should be diverted for developing the American economy and any leftover be utilized for the welfare of those who do not afford primary education and basic health needs. Posted by nikos June 7, 2012 at 11:21 am Wow how soon we forget 9/11, and we simply forget the 11 thwarted attempts since 9/11 in our country. Islam has a direct goal and it is a cancer within society and the root cause of the majority of the problems in the world today. It is a regressive ideology masked as a religion and luckily people are awakening to the reality of their goals. Europe should be a good lesson for us as they are 20 years ahead in letting these people emmigrate whiel watching them contribute nothing to society other then pumping out kids, collecting checks from the governments and trying to instill their beliefs on others. And no this is not a right wing extremist view there is a reason that almost 100% of the governments in Europe are standing up to Islam and tightening controls.

Military Suicide Epidemic: More U.S. Soldiers Have Killed Themselves Than Died on Battleeld in 2012 More U.S. soldiers have died this year by taking their own lives than on the battleeld. The Pentagon says there have been at least 154 suicides among active-duty troops in 2012, a rate of nearly one each day. Were joined by three guests: Kevin Hines, who survived a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and now counsels suicidal soldiers; Bonnie Carroll, co-chair of the Pentagons Task Force on the Prevention of Suicide in the Armed Forces and president of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors; and journalist Aaron Glantz, author of the book "The War Comes Home: Washingtons Battle Against Americas Veterans."

Thanks to all the brave service men and women who have given their lives for our country. And thanks to those who made it home too. 0 1 Share Luke Baeckelandt 3 months ago Before I start this post I would like to thank all of our servicemen and women and their families who have given so much these past 11 years. Words can not express how grateful we are for your service to our country. You

give everyday to ensure our freedom, thank you from the bottom of my heart. May god bless you always... That being said, I feel frustrated with the way our politicians have handled this war. Initially, I felt that we went to Afghanistan with good intentions, to take our Bin-Laden and to end Al-Queda's tricks and stop the Taliban's reign of terror on the Afghan people. However, we crippled our own war effort when we launched Operation Iraqi freedom and labeled Afghanistan as the supporting war just as Phillip Carter said. We should have gone in deep and hard in Afghanistan but we didn't. So now we are paying for it with our Servicemen's lives. I think it is good we are getting out of Afghanistan in 2014, we killed Bin-Laden and we took out Al-Queda's leadership. I also don't believe that we need anymore death's both on the civilian side and on the military side. The downside to all of this is that once the Afghanistan government takes over, the guerrilla force will quickly overthrow the republic. Like Phillip Carter stated in the clip, this war is very reminiscent of Vietnam. 0 Share

SEAL Team Six: The raid on Osama bin Laden National Geographic Channel, US TV review The rst full length dramatisation of Osama bin Ladens killing is low key and uncontroversial. Political fur had been ying over President Obamas direct participation in this dramatisation of Osama bin Ladens killing, produced for the National Geographic Channel by the Weinstein Company coowner Harvey Weinstein is one of the presidents supporters and fund-raisers. And its air date on Sunday, two nights before the presidential election, had some partisan types worried that it might create an unfair advantage for President Obama, who had promised in his 2008 campaign to capture bin Laden. Interestingly, National Geographic Channel is owned primarily by Fox Cable Networks, a division of News Corporation. Despite inevitable comparison to the intensely provocative and controversial Showtime production Homeland, there is nothing overly exciting or even truly dramatic about this docudrama. Its more of a study in process how the US governments huge intelligence bureaucracy tries to methodically and meticulously sync with the executive branch, which must answer to the American public.

But the documentary, National Geographics usual production genre, does satisfy some obvious curiosity about the Osama bin Laden raid. It was a woman intelligence analyst who doggedly pursued bin Laden to his Pakistani compound. Although she could never prove conclusively that the terrorist was actually living there, she ultimately prevails with circumstantial evidence. Named in the lm as Vivian Hollins, her college roommates father and brother were both killed in the 9/11 attack. Hollins is played in understated, bureaucratic style by Canadian born actress Kathleen Robertson, an otherwise powerhouse performer in the acclaimed television drama Boss starring Kelsey Grammer. Viewers also get an inside look into how action ready SEAL team members operate and relate to each other. As one SEAL noted, these highly trained soldiers live for the call to undertake a special operation. But the only factual surprise is that team member Cherry (played engagingly by Anson Mount), had obvious worries about the team leader, a man younger than himself. It was on his watch that a SEAL colleague was blown up by a woman terrorist. There is one truly tense moment in the operation when the SEAL helicopter crashes in the compound courtyard and concern seems to skyrocket in all quarters over

whether the operation can be carried out. And of course it was. File footage of President Obamas public statements are intercut with the dramatic action as well as his own thoughts on approving the raid. The show wraps up with perhaps the two best known phrases to come out of the incident. The Commanding Ofcer informs the White House situation room and intelligence ofcers, For God and country, Geronimo is KIA. And when President Obama appears before the American people via television, he states that for a terrorist who has been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives, justice has been done. Ah, theres the political rub. SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden will be available in the US on Netix on November 5.

Fact 1: In a piece titled "Assessing the TradeOffs Between Security And Civil Liberties," The New York Times Tuesday tells us that national security apparatus in America is today so extensive that no fewer than 4.86 million people in the United States have some form of "security clearance" as part of the nation's response to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Fact 2: In the same piece, The Times' Scott Shane reports: "In return for the bulked-up surveillance and the costly security industry boom, some counterterrorism ofcials would say the nation has gotten a good deal: there has been nothing even close to a repeat of 9/11. Islamic extremists have killed 14 people in the United States since 2001, 13 of them in the shooting spree by an Army psychiatrist at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009." Fact 3: Last month, the National Counterterrorism Center issued its 2011 report. Its drafters concluded that "seventeen U.S. private citizens worldwide were killed by terrorist attacks in 2011" and that "fourteen U.S. private citizens were wounded by terrorism in 2011." In the NCTC's 2010 Report, those gures were 15 killed and nine wounded. Fact 4: Last year, around the anniversary of the terror attacks, David Sanger of the Times estimated the cost of America's counter-terrorism program following 9/11 to be $3.3 trillion. On Tuesday, my Atlantic

colleague Steve Clemons put the gure at $2.7 trillion for just defense spending alone. Let's agree, whatever the exact gure, that it's an awful lot. Fact 5: According to 2008 statistics, compiled by the CDC's National Center for Injury and Violence Prevention and Control and chronicled by the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence, 31,593 people died in America as a result of gun violence. Of those, 12,179 people were murdered. Nearly 3,000 children died as a result of gun violence that year, and another 66,749 people were injured. Fact 6: According to 2009 statistics, again compiled by the CDC, 31,147 were killed in America by rearms. Of this gure, 11,493 were murdered. The Brady Campaign estimates that 334,182 people have been killed by gun violence since the Twin Towers fell. Fact 7: In Colorado Friday, an alleged lone gunman, armed with an assault rie, body armor, and gas grenades, killed 12 people and wounded 58 more. Last month, during a single weekend in the city of Chicago, eight people were killed and 45 wounded as a result of gun violence. Approximately 33 people are murdered each day in America. Fact 8: According to a 2011 CRS Report, from FY2001 to FY2010 "Congress increased direct appropriations for the ATF by 50.2%, from $771.0 million to $1.158 billion... The proposed

FY2011 rearms program allocation accompanying the Administration's budget request is $837.4 million, or 72% of the FY2011 budget request ($1.163 billion)." In the end, Congress evidently approved an ATF 2011 budget of $1.113 billion. For FY2012, that number evidently is $1,152 billion. (The ATF puts the increase at only 45% over the period, and says the appropriations through 2010 came to $1,115 billion). Fact 9: Of course the ATF isn't the only federal bureau which addresses the issue of the enforcement of existing gun laws in America. Other arms of the federal government also are involved. Although I could not nd these expense gures on short notice (earnest crowd, please feel free to source), let's stipulate that another $2 billion dollars of federal money* goes toward these efforts. I think that's a generous estimate.

My question now is simple: Why do we spend at least 1,000 times more money protecting ourselves from terrorism than we do protecting ourselves from gun violence? I'm not necessarily suggesting that we spend less on anti-terrorism programs. Like everyone else, I am grateful there have been no mass casualty terror events since 9/11. I'm just wondering, instead, what possible justication there could be for spending so relatively little to try to reduce the casualties of gun violence.

Money disappearing? That sounds crazy! The concept of money disappearing sounds so strange that some people have trouble believing it. We would like to assure you that among monetary economists this idea is not at all contentious. To help appreciate why money should disappear, consider the following: Borrowing money from a bank can be considered as an exchange of IOUs. The IOU the borrower gives to the bank is the loan agreement with the borrower s signature on it. The IOU the bank gives to the borrower is the cheque book money. Cheque book money can be seen as a spendable IOU from the bank. When the loan is repaid, the two IOUs simply cancel each other out. They will both cease to exist. This does not mean that real paper money needs to be torn up or burned. If the borrower pays back their loan in paper money, then the bank will simply remove the equivalent amount of electronic money within its computer systems.

http://fullreservebanking.com/book// chap1.htm

Best Answer Fractional reserve banking is when a bank is entitled to loan out more money than it has in reserves. Which is often about 10 to one. So a local bank may give 20 million in mortgage loans, but only have 2 million on reserve. This encourages lending and borrowing but also comes with risks, such as the "run on the bank" we've heard about happening leading to the Great Depression. Sometime an agency like the FDIC (The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) in the US guarantees a given amount of savings a preson has in a bank in case of failure or excessive withdrawals to protect against this and guarantees up to $250,000 as of January 2009.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/ How_does_the_fractional_banking_system_ work

A Monetary System for the New Millennium by Roger Langrick The Debt Engine is a phrase to describe unrelenting, forever increasing private and government debt. The need to stay ahead of escalating debt fuels practically everything we do; it forces us out of bed in the morning to go to jobs that most of us despise. Corporations make all their decisions around rst how to service their snowballing debt, and secondly around prot. Governments spend all their time worrying about how to meet their social agendas while at the same time service the increasing debt load of decit spending. As a motivating force, the Debt Engine now exceeds all others in the insane dash of the planet towards self destruction. Universal unrepayable debt creates a social environment in which certain types of behavior ourish and inhibits or destroys any tendency towards long term concerns and nourishment. Unrepayable Debt is different than the everyday debt of normal life. Unrepayable Debt is an actual built in aw of our present monetary system: The Fractional Reserve System. It benets no-one except those intimately connected with the banking industry and in spite of its devastating repercussions, it is a aw that can be xed.

Everyone has some ideas about money, who controls it, where it comes from and how it operates. Some say the government prints it; others say hard work makes money, while others would guess that it's something to do with gold. They might also picture it as a vast pile with everyone competing for as much as they can get. Bankers sometimes iname our passions by claiming that the government has grabbed all the money and there is none left for private industry. It's all poppycock. Our money supply isn't created by the government; a brilliant idea doesn't make money and neither does hard work (unless you happen to be in the counterfeiting business.) Our money is a national accounting system of who owes what to whom, and it is a system that is owned and operated by the private banking industry. There is no such thing as a static heap of money created by hard work and business cunning. Money icks in and out of existence as credit and debit balances; the money supply swells and contracts continuously as loans are created and then destroyed. Money is simply a bookkeeping system; a man created device. The man who invented the monetary system which we use today was a Scotsman, John Law, who lived during the 18th. century. He invented a new type of money to replace the old one of specie (the use of coins). In doing so

he created the mechanism to nance the industrial revolution, and ultimately our modern technological world. Much has been made of the astounding inventions of that era but what is often forgotten is that most of them would have never have seen the light of day without John Law and his invention: the Fractional Reserve Money System. Without it, there would have been no railroads, no Nissans or G.M.'s, nor would there have been any super highways to drive them on. There would have been no space shuttle, no Love Canal, no drift net shing, no heart transplants and no Cruise missiles. What John Law did with his invention of a new money system was enable the Industrial Revolution, with all of its good and bad aspects, to take place. Without him, the Revolution would have zzled and died and with it, our technological world. Here was the problem which John Law solved. In the early 1700's the newly industrializing nations of the world were in a perpetual state of economic crisis because their coinage system of money could not keep up with demand. Governments tried everything to increase the money supply. One trick was to make new coins much smaller than the old thereby getting more per ounce, but it was a stop gap measure at best.

To grasp the magnitude of the problem, try to imagine building just one modern skyscraper using only gold coins as nance. The industrialists of the Industrial Revolution were faced with a similar problem; how to build their factories, mills and railroads using only scarce gold coins. John Law's solution was to create a national paper money supply; banknotes that would be ofcially recognized as "real money". The advantages were obvious. Paper money could be expanded indenitely and was much cheaper than specie to make. To get and keep initial public condence, Law suggested a fraction of gold be always kept on hand for the few people who wanted to redeem their notes. Through a process of trial and error it was found that specie could support about ten times its value in paper money. That is, a bank which held $10 in gold could safely print and loan out about $100 in paper money. The gold held in reserve was obviously a mere fraction of the banknotes which it supported and so the system became known as the Fractional Reserve System. The private banking industry was chartered by government to create the new money supply of paper notes. Until earlier in this century, banks literally printed their own supply against their own gold reserves with their name on each note, and lent them out to the public and government. Now the federal government has taken on the

printing job but the notes are still drawn on private banks. In the 1930's the convertibility of bank notes was dropped but the Fractional Reserve System is alive and well today, albeit in a more sophisticated form. Cheques or credit cards have largely replaced paper money but the principle remains the same; the banking industry creates the money which government and society then borrows. John Law's method of money creation is still the dynamo that powers our present world. By replacing specie with a simple national accounting system of credit and debit, he made money innitely more exible, able to be contracted or expanded to meet any situation. However, using the Fractional Reserve System has not been a universally happy experience. It has a built in mechanical aw that always keeps total national and private debt ahead of the money available to repay it. In fact the more a nation expands, the more it automatically goes into debt to the system over and above the money that it borrows. To explain, imagine the rst bank which prints and lends out $100. For its efforts it asks for the borrower to return $110 in one year; that is it asks for 10% interest. Unwittingly, or maybe wittingly, the bank has created a mathematically impossible

situation. The only way in which the borrower can return 110 of the bank's notes is if the bank prints, and lends, $10 more...at 10% interest. When presented with this scenario, there is often a tendency to think :"Ah, but the borrower can always make the extra $10 somewhere else, through hard work or a deal overseas." However, although we frequently inter change the two sayings, earning money is not the same as making it. Earnings are simply a transfer of money from on ownership to another and neither increase nor decrease the total money in existence. Making money actually does increase the nation's money supply but noone can do that but the banking industry itself as laid down in its charter from the federal government. The result of creating 100 and demanding 110 in return, is that the collective borrowers of a nation are forever chasing a phantom which can never be caught; the mythical $10 that were never created. The debt in fact is unrepayable. Each time $100 is created for the nation, the nation's overall indebtedness to the system is increased by $110. The only solution at present is increased borrowing to cover the principle plus the interest of what has been borrowed. The business or government that cannot expand its borrowing every year is seized by its increasing debt load and dragged under.

Many economists are not unmindful of the problem but pass it off as irrelevant. They say that if the marketplace economy keeps expanding, thereby fuelling an increase in the total money supply, there is no problem with meeting interest payments on an increasing debt load. But under such circumstances, economic expansion is not a luxury but an imperative to stay ahead. In John Law's day, the need to continuously expand to meet growing debt repayments was seen as a minor problem of no consequence. Today however we all know the planet cannot sustain unlimited growth. Even so, we are stuck with a monetary system that demands continuous expansion or face the chaos of total economic collapse. The consequences of the Debt Engine are everywhere. Political and business leaders are sacricing the planet to stay ahead of bankruptcy. Technology is not being used to create a sane and sustainable lifestyle for us all but is being channeled into the most narrow band of activity: the market place activity of "making" money. Just as governments are forced into ignoring vital social and environmental questions in their efforts to balance the books, so many corporations are putting to one side such things as resource depletion and the destruction of the ecosystem in their frantic efforts to remain economically alive.

But the situation is not completely bleak. Just as John Law found a way around the impasse of coinage, so there are solutions for the problem of unrepayable debt. Obviously the rst thing to do is make sure that the ratio of credit to debt is always the same. Under the Fractional Reserve System, $100 credit is created and $110 debt is demanded in return; that is, there is always more debt than credit. This equation should be $100 credit equals $100 debt. The mechanics of how to achieve this were proposed over one hundred and fty years ago. It was proposed that the nation's money be created by two agencies: the banking industry and government. Instead of taxes, government would be empowered to create money for its own expenses up to the balance the debt shortfall. Thus, if the banking industry created $100 in a year, the government would create $10 which it would use for its own expenses. Abraham Lincoln used this successfully when he created $500 million of "greenbacks" to ght the Civil War. A government which creates its own money supply becomes independent and the most important result of freeing government from its present debtor relationship to the banking industry would be to make it more able to respond to social pressures for reform. A nancially independent government would be able to pursue long

term agendas for the betterment of society. For instance, a twin source of money creation could not only rapidly reduce taxes, but create additional funding for other initiatives. A government having the same right of issue as is now monopolized by the banking industry could fund vital job creating initiatives such as environmental repair and sustainable technology on a scale that is hard to imagine. America has the resources to lead the world into a sustainable future. But it needs a monetary system which will allow for its resources to be mobilized towards a greater destiny than marketplace superiority. Such a new monetary system with all of its potential would require a dramatic upgrading of society's consciousness and understanding of money. We have to move from a simplistic belief in money having an intrinsic value of its own and see it as a bookkeeping system of the real wealth of our nations. Ultimately our money is not dependent on gold in Fort Knox but on the human and natural resources which it represents. The world has passed beyond an age of scarcity and the challenge of the new era is not about solving problems of want, but dealing with abundance and how to use it to create a sustainable future. Above all we need the visionaries able to point the way.

In my forthcoming book Superproduction I try to address the potential which is now in our grasp. With computerization, robotics, advances in genetics and food growing, we have the potential to turn the planet into a sustainable ecosystem capable of supporting all. We have the technology to genuinely contemplate colonizing the solar system. This is not a time to be saddled with an 18th century money system designed around the endless rape of the planet. John Law enabled humanity to scrabble out of scarcity but now his system is antiquated. Philosophically it is based on the robber baron mentality and technically it is awed with Unrepayable Debt. As such it is unable to respond either to the abundance which it created or the problems which it spawned. The Debt Engine has distorted the potential of the Industrial Revolution and forced us into a narrow focus of marketplace ethic. A new monetary system with enough government control to ensure funding of vital issues could unlock the creative potential of the entire nation. By redirecting the focus of our national economy, a new monetary system would enable men and women who can think in terms of abundance not only for themselves but how also to use it for the benet of the entire planet. I know John Law would approve.

Typical criticisms On 5 March 1997, in a speech in the House of Lords in London England, the Earl of Cathiness made the following observations: [51][52] ...it is also a good time to stand back, to reassess whether our economy is soundly based. I would contest that it is not, not for the reason to which the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, alluded, which is that it is the Governments fault, but our whole monetary system is utterly dishonest, as it is debt-based. Dishonest is a strong word, but a system which by its very actions causes the value of money to decrease is dishonest and has within it its own seeds of destruction. We did not vote for it. It grew upon us gradually but markedly since 1971 when the commodity-based system was abandoned. Let us look at what has happened since then. The money supply in 1971 was just under 31 billion. At the end of the third quarter of last year, it was about 665 billion. In 25 years it has grown by a staggering 2,145 per cent. Where has the money come from? Interestingly, the Government have only minted a further 20 billion in that time. It is the banks, the building societies and our commercial lenders who have created the balance of 614 billion. If this rate of growth is projected over the next 25 years, the money supply in 2022 will be over 14,000 billion.

All that new money bears interest paid either by us as individuals, by companies or by the Government. Today the Government pay over 30 billion annually in interest charges coincidentally about the same as the total money supply only 25 years ago. Governments since then have abdicated their responsibility for producing new money and controlling the money supply so that now they are marginalised. In 1971 government notes and coins accounted for 14 per cent of the money supply. Now it is only about 3.5 per cent. So what?, noble Lords might ask. The problem is that it is commercial lending that has boosted the money supply, thus increasing debt and, as sure as night follows day, ination follows growth in money supply of this sort... Conventional wisdom tells us that in order to create new jobs and boost the economy, interest rates have to be reduced. That has happened. People are encouraged to borrow to invest and spend. That has happened. As the continuing ow of new money nds its way into the economy, ination will follow and up will go interest charges again to reduce the level of borrowing. In order to pay the increasing levels of interest, borrowers will once more have to reduce expenditure in other areas of economic activity. The cycle will continue, but the next time, as before, we will all start deeper in debt and with a burden harder to carry. Personal debt has already increased by nearly 3,000 per cent since 1971. How much more can we

take? I hope, for the sake of our economy, without which we cannot nance what we want to see a good health service and a good social security system among other things we will question this conventional wisdom. We all want our businesses to succeed, but under the existing system the irony is that the better our banks, building societies and lending institutions do, the more debt is created. The noble Lord, Lord Kingsdown, said that there is little that can be done about debt. No, I do not believe that. There is a different way: it is an equity-based system and one in which those businesses can play a responsible role. The next government must grasp the nettle, accept their responsibility for controlling the money supply and change from our debt-based monetary system. My Lords, will they? If they do not, our monetary system will break us and the sorry legacy we are already leaving our children will be a disaster.

It is important to stress that the government does not and cannot bestow value on its paper money. This seems to be a widespread myth, as evidenced by this quote from, Philip Coggans recent book Paper Promises (p. 37): If people think that the value of something is equal to the cost of creating it, which in the case of paper and electronic money is virtually zero, then why do we accept it at all? We know there is no longer enough gold or silver to support it. The answer must be that we have faith in the government that stands behind it. The government can raise the taxes necessary to give the currency value.

In truth, just as there are no sellers without buyers, there are no borrowers without savers; thus rendering the very notion of a money multiplier moot. $1 million doesnt multiply into $10 million if it changes hands enough times; rather for someone to borrow someone else must be willing to cease using money in the nearterm so that they can.

Proof that Banks Create Money Do banks really create money? Yes! But we know its hard to believe. After all, the police spend time and energy hunting down any criminal gang that starts printing their own 10 notes. But when it comes to digital money the numbers in your bank account the same rules dont apply. Dont take our word for it this is Sir Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England: When banks extend loans to their customers, they create money by crediting their customers accounts. Sir Mervyn King, Speech to the South Wales Chamber of Commerce at The Millenium Centre, Cardiff on 23rd October 2012 And here is Martin Wolf, chief economics editor for the Financial Times: The essence of the contemporary monetary system is creation of money, out of nothing, by private banks often foolish lending Martin Wolf, Financial Times, 9th November 2010 In other words, when banks make loans, they create brand new money (in the form of the numbers in our bank accounts). The chairman of the Financial Services

Authority, Lord Adair Turner has described this system as being at the root of the nancial crisis: The nancial crisis of 2007/08 occurred because we failed to constrain the private nancial systems creation of private credit and money. Adair Turner, Speech to the South African Reserve Bank, 2nd November 2012 Heres further conrmation from a Bank of England paper: By far the largest role in creating broad money is played by the banking sector When banks make loans they create additional deposits for those that have borrowed the money Bank of England, Interpreting movements in broad money, p.377 Even before the crisis banks enjoyed various kinds of state support, including the effective right to create money. Independent Commission on Banking Interim Report, p65 So when you take out a loan from the bank, the money is just typed into your account and created effectively out of nothing. Heres further proof from Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England

and Member of the Monetary Policy Committee (the term extend credit is a synonym for make loans): Banks extend credit by simply increasing the borrowing customers current account That is, banks extend credit [i.e. make loans] by creating money Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor for Financial Stability, Bank of England. Speech: Money and Credit: Banking and the Macroeconomy [Banks] can lend simply by expanding the two sides of their balance sheet simultaneously, creating (broad) money. Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor for Financial Stability, Bank of England. Speech: Shadow Banking: thoughts for a possible policy agenda Thats a very mundane way of saying that the creation of money in the UK has been privatised. In other words, banks are able to create all the money in the economy and lend it to us. This has a wide range of rarely-discussed consequences and effects upon the economy and society, and is surely something that we should be questioning in the wake of a huge nancial crisis. If youve always thought that banks took money in from savers and lent it to borrower (as we did, before we started

researching this issue), this can be quite hard to believe. But heres the chairman of the Financial Services Authority, Lord Adair Turner: The banking system can thus create credit and create spending power a reality not well captured by many apparently common sense descriptions of the functions which banks perform. Banks it is often said take deposits from savers (for instance households) and lend it to borrowers (for instance businesses) with the quality of this credit allocation process a key driver of allocative efciency within the economy. But in fact they dont just allocate preexisting savings, collectively they create both credit and the deposit money which appears to nance that credit. Adair Turner, Chairman of the FSA, Speech: Credit Creation and Social Optimality, Sept 2011 However, the UK is not a special case the same system operates in every country in the world. But isnt this just the Money Multiplier? It is important to note that what is being described in these comments is not the money multiplier model of banking so beloved of economics textbooks (which implies the central bank has complete control over the amount of money that banks can

create). Empirical research has proved that banks do not need reserves to make loans: There is no evidence that either the monetary base or M1 leads the [credit] cycle, although some economists still believe this monetary myth. Both the monetary base and M1 series are generally procyclical and, if anything, the monetary base lags the [credit] cycle slightly. Nobel prize winners Finn Kydland and Ed Prescott , Federal Reserve bank of Minneapolis (1990) MPs Talk about Banks Creating Money Conservative MP Jesse Norman sits on the Treasury Select Committee, a group of MPs that is responsible for scrutinising the Treasury, Bank of England and Financial Services Authority. In 2011 he wrote the following in a paper entitled The Case for Real Capitalism: [C]ommercial banks have an even greater power than that: they have the power to create creditthat is, moneyby expanding their balance sheets. It is not widely understood how important this power is: of the money presently in circulation in the UK economy today, three per cent takes the form of cash; 97 per cent is in credit and deposits. This nancial alchemy is an extraordinary privilege, which we as citizens and taxpayers underwrite.

Jesse Norman MP, The Case for Real Capitalism Even Major City rms talk about Banks Creating Money: A recent paper from Legal and General Investment Management conrmed the fact that most money is created by banks. This is a rm with nearly 10,000 employees and revenue of over 18bn. Their paper opens with: We all know that money makes the world go round. But where does it come from? Before the recent descent into central bank money printing, the answer was that banks created money whenever they made a new loan. Legal and General Investment Management In America: The actual process of money creation takes place primarily in banks. Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (1992) Modern Money Mechanics In the real world, banks extend credit, creating deposits in the process , and look for the reserves later.

Alan Holmes, then Senior Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of New York (1969) And in Europe: At the beginning of the 20th (century) almost the totality of retail payments were made in central bank money. Over time, this monopoly came to be shared with commercial banks, when deposits and their transfer via checks and giros became widely accepted. Banknotes and commercial bank money became fully interchangeable payment media that customers could use according to their needs. Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, then Member of the Executive Board, European Central Bank. Speech: Domestic payments in Euroland: commercial and central bank money In the Eurosystem, money is primarily created through the extension of bank credit. The commercial banks can create money themselves, the so-called giro money. (Bundesbank (2009), Geld und Geldpolitik, as cited and translated by Richard A. Werner, (2009), Topics in Monetary Economics, Lecture Slides for Master in Money and Finance degree course, Goethe University, Frankfurt

This paper contends that the emphasis on policy-induced changes in deposits is misplaced. If anything, the process actually works in reverse, with loans driving deposits. In particular, it is argued that the concept of the money multiplier is awed and uninformative in terms of analyzing the dynamics of bank lending. Under a at money standard and liberalized nancial system, there is no exogenous constraint on the supply of credit except through regulatory capital requirements. An adequately capitalized banking system can always fulll the demand for loans if it wishes to. Piti Distayat and Claudio Bori, Bank for International Settlements (2009) It is argued by some that nancial institutions would be free to instantly transform their loans from the central bank into credit to the non-nancial sector. This ts into the old theoretical view about the credit multiplier according to which the sequence of money creation goes from the primary liquidity created by central banks to total money supply created by banks via their credit decisions. In reality the sequence works more in the opposite direction with banks taking rst their credit decisions and then looking for the necessary funding and reserves of central bank money.

Vitor Constancio, vice president of the ECB (2011) In Canada: Each and every time a bank makes a loan, new bank credit is created new deposits brand new money Graham Towers (1939), former Governor of the Central Bank of Canada, quoted in Rowbotham, M (1998) The Grip of Death, p.12 And a few more quotes from the UK: Broadly speaking, at present, the moneycreating sector covers UK banks and building societies, whereas the moneyholding sector consists of UK households and private companies. Bank of England, Proposals to modify the measurement of broad money in the United Kingdom p.402 In the United Kingdom, money is endogenous the Bank supplies base money on demand at its prevailing interest rate, and broad money is created by the banking system Bank of England, 1994, Q3 Quarterly Bulletin, p.264

Bank of England, Interpreting movements in broad money, p.378 The money stock is a dependent, endogenous variable. This is exactly what the heterodox, Post-Keynesians, from Kaldor, through Vicky Chick, and on through Basil Moore and Randy Wray, have been correctly claiming for decades, and I have been in their party on this. Charles Goodhart, (2007), Whatever became of the Monetary Aggregates? Given the near identity of deposits and bank lending, Money and Credit are often used almost inseparably, even interchangeably Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor for Financial Stability, Bank of Engalnd. Speech: Money and Credit: Banking and the Macroeconomy

the banking sector plays such an important role in the creation of money. Changes in the terms for deposits will affect the demand for money, while changes in the terms for loans will affect the amount of bank lending and hence money supply. Bank of England, Interpreting movements in broad money, p.383 Money-creating organisations issue liabilities that are treated as media of exchange by others. The rest of the economy can be referred to as money holders Bank of England, Proposals to modify the measurement of broad money in the United Kingdom, p.402 And if you need further proof, heres a letter written by a correspondent of ours to the Bank of England (see the original here). He asked them: When a commercial bank makes a loan to a borrower, does the commercial bank in effect create new money? In other words, when a bank makes a loan to a borrower, is that money just created out of thin air?

And the Bank of England response was: When banks make loans, commercial banks do indeed create much of the money in the economy. From the Mainstream Press [M]uch as they might like to think they are in charge, it isnt really the central bank in a country that creates the money it is the commercial banks. Every time they expand their lending they increase the supply of money in the economy. And every time they contract lending they reduce it.

The Federal Reserve is not a private corporation. It is part private and part public, with the Board of Governors an agency of the United States government. The regional Federal Reserve Banks are private corporations acting as agents of the government, owned by their member banks. No individuals hold stock in the Fed. Corporate control of the regional Federal Reserve Banks is limited and based on one vote per stockholding bank (so that big banks cannot control the system).

Key to Liability Management The key to liability management is always being able to borrow. Therefore a bank's most vital asset is its creditworthiness. If there is any doubt about its credit, lenders can easily switch to another bank. The rate a bank must pay to borrow will go up rapidly with the slightest suspicion of trouble. If there is serious doubt, it will be unable to borrow at any rate, and will go under. In recent years, large banks have been making increasing use of asset management in order to enhance liquidity, holding a larger part of their assets as securities as well as securitizing their loans to recycle borrowed funds.

Guatemalan workers have been struggling against Coca-Cola since the 1970s. In the years between 1976 and 1985, three general secretaries of the main union were assassinated and members of their families, friends and legal advisers were threatened, arrested, kidnapped, shot, tortured and forced into exile. The violations of workers' rights continue. And Coca-Cola workers and their family members, with ties to unions, have reportedly been subjected to death threats. Elsewhere in countries such as Peru, Russia and Chile, Coca-Cola workers have been protesting against the company's anti-union policies. Coca-Cola claims to exist "to benet and refresh everyone it touches" and to try to sustain this positive image, the company spends $2 billion a year on advertising alone. Yet there are signs that the image is beginning to crumble.

LIBOR, information about the London InterBank Offered Rate For current LIBOR interest rates please click here. This page contains detailed background information about LIBOR. LIBOR in brief LIBOR stands for London InterBank Offered Rate. LIBOR is an indicative average interest rate at which a selection of banks (the panel banks) are prepared to lend one another unsecured funds on the London money market. Although reference is often made to the LIBOR interest rate, there are actually 150 different LIBOR interest rates. LIBOR is calculated for 15 different maturities and for 10 different currencies. The ofcial LIBOR interest rates (bbalibor) are announced once a day at around 11:45 a.m. London time by Thomson Reuters on behalf of the British Bankers' Association (BBA). The rates may only be published by partners of the BBA like us. This website shows the current LIBOR interest rates daily between 5 and 6 pm London time. The creation of LIBOR At the start of the nineteen eighties there was a growing need amongst the nancial institutions in London for a benchmark for lending rates. This benchmark was

particularly needed in order to calculate prices for nancial products such as interest swaps and options. Under the leadership of the BBA a number of steps were taken from 1984 onwards which led in 1986 to the publication of the rst LIBOR interest rates (bbalibor). LIBOR panel banks As has already been indicated, LIBOR is an average interest rate at which a selection of banks will lend one another funds. These banks are called panel banks. The selection is made every year by the British Bankers' Association (BBA) with assistance from the Foreign Exchange and Money Markets Committee (FX&MMC). A panel is made up for each currency consisting of at least 8 and a maximum of 16 banks which are deemed to be representative for the London money market. Banks are assessed on market volume, reputation and assumed knowledge of the currency concerned. Because the criteria applied are strict, the rates can generally be considered to be the lowest interbank lending rates on the London money market. LIBOR calculation method The LIBOR interest rates are not based on actual transactions. On every working day at around 11 a.m. (London time) the panel banks inform Thomson Reuters for each maturity at what interest rate they would

expect to be able to raise a substantial loan in the interbank money market at that moment. The reason that the measurement is not based on actual transactions is because not every bank borrows substantial amounts for each maturity every day. Once Thomson Reuters has collected the rates from all panel banks, the highest and lowest 25% of value are eliminated. An average is calculated of the 50% remaining mid values in order to produce the ofcial LIBOR (bbalibor) rate. The signicance of the LIBOR interest rates LIBOR is viewed as the most important benchmark in the world for short-term interest rates. On the professional nancial markets LIBOR is used as the base rate for a large number of nancial products such as futures, options and swaps. Banks also use the LIBOR interest rates as the base rate when setting the interest rates for loans, savings and mortgages. The fact that LIBOR is often treated as the base rate for other products is the reason why LIBOR interest rates are monitored with great interest by a large number of professionals and private individuals worldwide. LIBOR currencies Originally (in 1986) LIBOR was published for 3 currencies: the US dollar, the pound sterling and the Japanese yen. Over the years that followed the number of LIBOR

currencies grew to a maximum of 16. A number of these currencies merged into the euro in 2000. At the moment we have LIBOR rates in the following 10 currencies (click on the currency for the current interest rate for each maturity): American dollar - USD LIBOR Australian dollar- AUD LIBOR British pound sterling - GBP LIBOR Canadian dollar- CAD LIBOR Danish krone - DKK LIBOR European euro - EUR LIBOR Japanese yen - JPY LIBOR New Zealand dollar - NZD LIBOR Swedish krona - SEK LIBOR Swiss franc - CHF LIBOR LIBOR maturities Because there are 15 different maturities there are 15 different LIBOR rates in total.

Overnight (1 day) 1 week 2 weeks 1 month 2 months 3 months 4 months 5 months 6 months

Q: How is Libor calculated? A: Once a day, major London banks tell Thomson Reuters the interest rate they would expect to pay on a loan from another bank. Thomson Reuters drops those rates in the highest and lowest 25% and averages the 50% in the middle. There are actually 150 Libor rates, with maturities from overnight to one year, and in different currencies. Libor is an important element in many interest rate swaps, a way of insuring oating-rate loans from a surge in interest rates. Q: Wait, what? The interest rate they would expect to pay? Not the rate they actually pay? A: Right. It's kind of an honor system. At the heart of the controversy: Some banks articially inated or deated their rates, depending on what would benet them most. Some may have deated their rates to give the impression that they were more creditworthy than they actually were. During the nancial crisis of 2008, the rate was more of an estimate, since banks weren't lending to anyone. Q: So who was hurt? A: It depends. If Libor was articially high when you took out a loan, then you paid

more on the loan than you should have. Conversely, if Libor was articially low, you may have paid less than you should have. Naturally, those who gure they were ripped off are ling lawsuits. The city of Baltimore, for example, is suing large banks involved in setting Libor, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Barclays, Citibank and Deutsche Bank. Barclays agreed to settle charges of manipulation and pay U.S. and British regulators $450 million. Both JPMorgan Chase and Citibank have said in the past few weeks that they, too, are under investigation.

In the simplest terms, LIBOR is the average interest rate which banks in London are charging each other for borrowing. Its calculated by Thomson Reuters the parent company of the Reuters news agency for the British Banking Association (BBA), a trade association of banks and nancial services companies.

WALL STREET CONFIDENCE TRICK: HOW INTEREST RATE SWAPS ARE BANKRUPTING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Ellen Brown March 20, 2012 www.webofdebt.com/articles/ interestrateswap.php Far from reducing risk, derivatives increase risk, often with catastrophic results. Derivatives expert Satyajit Das, Extreme Money (2011) The toxic culture of greed on Wall Street was highlighted again last week, when Greg Smith went public with his resignation from Goldman Sachs in a scathing oped published in the New York Times. In other recent eyebrow-raisers, LIBOR ratesthe benchmark interest rates involved in interest rate swapswere shown to be manipulated by the banks that would have to pay up; and the objectivity of the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) was called into question, when a 50% haircut for creditors was not declared a default requiring counterparties to pay on credit default swaps on Greek sovereign debt. Interest rate swaps are less often in the news than credit default swaps, but they

are far more important in terms of revenue, composing fully 82% of the derivatives trade. In February, JP Morgan Chase revealed that it had cleared $1.4 billion in revenue on trading interest rate swaps in 2011, making them one of the banks biggest sources of prot. According to the Bank for International Settlements: [I]nterest rate swaps are the largest component of the global OTC derivative market. The notional amount outstanding as of June 2009 in OTC interest rate swaps was $342 trillion, up from $310 trillion in Dec 2007. The gross market value was $13.9 trillion in June 2009, up from $6.2 trillion in Dec 2007. For more than a decade, banks and insurance companies convinced local governments, hospitals, universities and other non-prots that interest rate swaps would lower interest rates on bonds sold for public projects such as roads, bridges and schools. The swaps were entered into to insure against a rise in interest rates; but instead, interest rates fell to historically low levels. This was not a ood, earthquake, or other insurable risk due to environmental unknowns or acts of God. It was a deliberate, manipulated move by the Fed, acting to save the banks from their own folly in precipitating the credit crisis of 2008. The banks got in trouble, and the Federal Reserve and federal government rushed in to bail them out, rewarding them

for their misdeeds at the expense of the taxpayers. How the swaps were supposed to work was explained by Michael McDonald in a November 2010 Bloomberg article titled Wall Street Collects $4 Billion From Taxpayers as Swaps Backre: In an interest-rate swap, two parties exchange payments on an agreed-upon amount of principal. Most of the swaps Wall Street sold in the municipal market required borrowers to issue long-term securities with interest rates that changed every week or month. The borrowers would then exchange payments, leaving them paying a xed-rate to a bank or insurance company and receiving a variable rate in return. Sometimes borrowers got lump sums for entering agreements. Banks and borrowers were supposed to be paying equal rates: the fat years would balance out the lean. But the Fed articially manipulated the rates to the save the banks. After the credit crisis broke out, borrowers had to continue selling adjustable-rate securities at auction under the deals. Auction interest rates soared when bond insurers ratings were downgraded because of subprime mortgage losses; but the periodic payments that banks made to borrowers as part of the swaps plunged, because they were linked to

benchmarks such as Federal Reserve lending rates, which were slashed to almost zero. In a February 2010 article titled How Big Banks' Interest-Rate Schemes Bankrupt States, Mike Elk compared the swaps to payday loans. They were bad deals, but municipal council members had no other way of getting the money. He quoted economist Susan Ozawa of the New School: The markets were pricing in serious falls in the prime interest rate. . . . So it would have been clear that this was not going to be a good deal over the life of the contracts. So the states and municipalities were entering into these long maturity swaps out of necessity. They were desperate, if not naive, and couldn't look to the Federal Government or Congress and had to turn themselves over to the banks. Elk wrote: As almost all reasoned economists had predicted in the wake of a deepening recession, the federal government aggressively drove down interest rates to save the big banks. This created opportunity for banks whose variable payments on the derivative deals were tied to interest rates set largely by the Federal Reserve and Government to prot excessively at the expense of state and local governments. While banks are still collecting xed rates of from 4 percent to 6 percent, they are now

regularly paying state and local governments as little as a tenth of one percent on the outstanding bonds with no end to the low rates in sight. . . . [W]ith the fed lowering interest rates, which was anticipated, now states and local governments are paying about 50 times what the banks are paying. Talk about a windfall prot the banks are making off of the suffering of local economies. To make matters worse, these state and local governments have no way of getting out of these deals. Banks are demanding that state and local governments pay tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in fees to exit these deals. In some cases, banks are forcing termination of the deals against the will of state and local governments, using obscure contract provisions written in the ne print. By the end of 2010, according to Michael McDonald, borrowers had paid over $4 billion just to get out of the swap deals. Among other disasters, he lists these: Californias water resources department . . . spent $305 million unwinding interest-rate bets that backred, handing over the money to banks led by New Yorkbased Morgan Stanley. North Carolina paid $59.8 million in August, enough to cover the annual salaries of about 1,400 full-time state employees. Reading, Pennsylvania,

which sought protection in the states scally distressed communities program, got caught on the wrong end of the deals, costing it $21 million, equal to more than a years worth of real-estate taxes. In a March 15th article on Counterpunch titled An Inside Glimpse Into the Nefarious Operations of Goldman Sachs: A Toxic System, Darwin Bond-Graham adds these cases from California: The most obvious example is the city of Oakland where a chronic budget crisis has led to the shuttering of schools and cuts to elder services, housing, and public safety. Oakland signed an interest rate swap with Goldman in 1997. . . . Across the Bay, Goldman Sachs signed an interest rate swap agreement with the San Francisco International Airport in 2007 to hedge $143 million in debt. Today this agreement has a negative value to the Airport of about $22 million, even though its terms were much better than those Oakland agreed to. Greg Smith wrote that at Goldman Sachs, the gullible bureaucrats on the other side of these deals were called muppets. But even sophisticated players could have found themselves on the wrong side of this sort of manipulated bet. Satyajit Das gives the example of Harvard Universitys bad swap deals under the presidency of Larry

Summers, who had fought against derivatives regulation as Treasury Secretary in 1999. There could hardly be more sophisticated players than Summers and Harvard University. But then who could have anticipated, when the Fed funds rate was at 5%, that the Fed would push it nearly to zero? When the game is rigged, even the most experienced gamblers can lose their shirts. Courts have dismissed complaints from aggrieved borrowers alleging securities fraud, ruling that interest-rate swaps are privately negotiated contracts, not securities; and a deal is a deal. So says contract law, strictly construed; but municipal governments and the taxpayers supporting them clearly have a claim in equity. The banks have made outrageous prots by capitalizing on their own misdeeds. They have already been paid several times over: rst with taxpayer bailout money; then with nearly free loans from the Fed; then with fees, penalties and exaggerated losses imposed on municipalities and other counterparties under the interest rate swaps themselves. Bond-Graham writes: The windfall of revenue accruing to JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and their peers from interest rate swap derivatives is due to nothing other than political decisions that have been made at the federal level to

allow these deals to run their course, even while benchmark interest rates, inuenced by the Federal Reserves rate setting, and determined by many of these same banks (the London Interbank Offered Rate, LIBOR) linger close to zero. These political decisions have determined that virtually all interest rate swaps between local and state governments and the largest banks have turned into perverse contracts whereby cities, counties, school districts, water agencies, airports, transit authorities, and hospitals pay millions yearly to the few elite banks that run the global nancial system, for nothing meaningful in return. Why are these swaps so popular, if they can be such a bad deal for borrowers? BondGraham maintains that capitalism as it functions today is completely dependent upon derivatives. We live in a global sea of variable interest rates, exchange rates, and default rates. There is no stable ground on which to anchor the economic ship, so nancial products for hedging against risk have been sold to governments and corporations as essentials of business and trade. But this nancial engineering is sold, not by disinterested third parties, but by the very sharks who stand to prot from their counterparties loss. Fairness is thrown out in favor of gaming the system. Deals tend to be rigged and contracts to be misleading.

How could local governments reduce their borrowing costs and insure against interest rate volatility without putting themselves at the mercy of this Wall Street culture of greed? One possibility is for them to own some banks. State and municipal governments could put their revenues in their own publicly-owned banks; leverage this money into credit as all banks are entitled to do; and use that credit either to fund their own projects or to buy municipal bonds at the market rate, hedging the interest rates on their own bonds. The creation of credit has too long been delegated to a cadre of private middlemen who have agrantly abused the privilege. We can avoid the derivatives trap by cutting out the middlemen and creating our own credit, following the precedent of the Bank of North Dakota and many other public banks abroad.

In a pair of lawsuits led in the Federal District Court in San Francisco, the rm accused the banks, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, of colluding to depress the London Interbank Offered Rate. That conspiracy, the suits allege, allowed the banks to articially deate the numbers used to calculate the benchmark, thereby throwing off interest rates for Libor-based securities and depriving investors of the returns they would have earned had the numbers been accurate.

Fears of Mortgage Rate Re-Sets May Fuel LIBOR Manipulation and Mask Deeper Banking System Problems OCTOBER 23, 2008 BY SHAH GILANI, Capital Wave Strategist, Money Morning [This is the ninth installment of an ongoing series in which retired hedge-fund manager R. Shah Gilani breaks down the credit crisis for readers.] By Shah Gilani Contributing Editor Money Morning Its panic time for U.S. legislators, regulators, banks and lenders. More than $24 billion worth of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are expected to re-set to higher interest rates in November boosting the likelihood of further home foreclosures. And it gets worse. That increase in borrowing costs will spread to other parts of the global debt market, representing an across-the board threat to corporate, institutional and sovereign borrowers. If interest rates remain high and interbank lending remains tight, the credit crisis is not likely to recede. This raises two key questions. Are desperate times prompting desperate measures? Is LIBOR

being manipulated by banks that are trying to make their nancial positions appear better than they really are? If thats the case, its one more reason the credit crisis will fester and spread undetected: The articially low interbank lending rates removed a key early warning indicator, leading investors to believe the credit market was healthy when it actually wasnt. The Lowdown on LIBOR LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is arguably the most important interest rate in the world. It is used to calculate the interest rates on hundreds of billions of dollars of corporate debt, mortgages and innumerable other loan products including hundreds of trillions of dollars of derivatives. It is important to understand that LIBOR is a reference rate, meaning it isnt imposed on a borrower by any regulation or law. Developed in the middle 1980s, LIBOR is the benchmark rate banks use when they offer to lend unsecured money to other banks in the London wholesale money market. LIBOR was created to make sure that banks that offer loans with oating or adjustable interest rates know just what their constantly changing cost-to-borrow actually is.

Lenders offering oating or adjustable rate loans typically charge borrowers a spread above LIBOR. When you hear: Your cost on this loan is three-month LIBOR plus 5, it means the lender is charging you the three-month LIBOR rate plus an additional ve percentage points. If three-month LIBOR is 4%, your actual rate is 9% (4% + 5% = 9%). If your loan re-sets in the future, it will do so based on the LIBOR rate that day plus an additional ve percentage points. LIBOR is calculated for 15 different loan durations, ranging from overnight to a year, and is listed in 10 different currencies. For this discussion, we are focusing on only the dollar LIBOR rate, which is the rate, in terms of dollar borrowings, that banks theoretically charge each other when buying and selling dollars in the London market. Each morning, panels of banks submit loan data to Thomson Reuters PLC (ADR: TRIN) in London, usually by 11:10 a.m. London time, and Reuters (a news, information, data and market quoting service corporation) calculates LIBOR, which is subsequently published each day by the British Bankers Association (BBA). Subverting the System That brings us to the current problem in the LIBOR market: As Money Morning has previously reported, theres substantial

evidence that LIBOR is being managed. This has been happening and the BBA is actively looking into it. In fact, several months ago, when the BBA announced it was speeding up its probe, LIBOR jumped. The dollar LIBOR rate, or xing, as it is known, is calculated based on the submission of quotes from 16 major world banks. The banks send in data as to what they paid, or could pay, to borrow from other banks at each maturity level. Reuters throws out the four highest and four lowest quotes, and calculates the average of the eight that remain to come up with the dollar LIBOR xing. If banks are seeking to charge one another higher rates, thats telling us one of two things. Either: Banks dont have excess cash to lend. Or they are unwilling to lend freely to other banks, which they fear are facing potential troubles because of bad loans, defaulted mortgages, and other pending hits to their capital and threats to their solvency. [Pending hits to capital could include anticipated higher foreclosure rates brought on by mortgage re-sets]. No bank wants to admit it is being charged a premium to borrow: That sends a bad signal. If a reporting bank submits data that shows its own borrowing costs are higher than average, it will very likely raise questions about that institutions

nancial strength and stability the kind of uncertainty that recently brought down such nancial institutions as The Bear Stearns Cos. [now part of JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM)], and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ). So what might that bank do? Since the submitting banks providing data to Reuters are on the honor system, maybe this institution has an incentive to not submit its actual borrowing costs? Maybe this bank submits rates at which it could borrow which it is permitted to do, by denition, under the submitting rules if those rates are lower by virtue of only being a quote it received? Maybe this bank and the rest of its brethren would like to keep LIBOR lower than the interbank rate should actually be, realizing that if rates rise, bad-loan exposure increases. And if bad-loan exposure increases, derivative exposure will escalate, too. What if U.S. ARM re-sets (based on LIBOR) bump up the interest-rate charges that already-strapped homeowners have to pay? What will more foreclosures do to alreadybattered bank balance sheets? We already know the answers to those questions. Since the interbank-lending markets here in the United States have not been freed up, the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S.

Federal Reserve have gone to extraordinary lengths to thaw out the frozen markets and get credit owing across the economy. Included in their buckshot-pattern arsenal of misguided turnaround initiatives is one that forces the largest U.S. banks to borrow directly from the government. That initiative hasnt helped because banks are simply afraid to lend to other banks because of the problem of toxic balance sheets and future loan-loss probabilities. Worst of all, no banks balance sheet has become a single bit more transparent. Nor will that ever happen if we do away with fair-value, mark-to-market accounting. But, last Friday, at the same time Citigroup Inc. (C) reported November re-sets on adjustable rate mortgages will exceed $24 billion which can only lead to further mortgage defaults it was also revealed that some of the banks our government gave money to actually lent it to banks in London. Strange? Not really. When JP Morgan, Citigroup and other big U.S. banks place money with London banks, specically banks that submit borrowing cost statistics to Reuters that ultimately determines the LIBOR xing, could it be that theres more than free-owing lending going on? Did the London banks lend any of the pittances that the U.S. banks lent across the pond?

By simple virtue of actually having more money to lend, and without any lending between themselves, London banks have the cover to say: Theres money available to borrow, but we didnt borrow any, but we could have borrowed and the cost to us would have been lower than it has been. So, they submit to Reuters the lower cost at which they could have borrowed and, presto, the LIBOR xing is lowered. Blueprint for a Turnaround Desperate times, it has been said, require desperate measures. While it is imperative that credit ows freely here and around the world, the desperate and manipulative measures that banks, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are employing are the equivalent of the Air Force using a carpetbombing campaign when its clear that a couple of smart bombs would do a better job. As a result, U.S. taxpayers are being bombed into a deeper, wider and steeper crater from which it will be very difcult if not impossible to climb out of. Theres just not enough dirt to ll in the craters created by the repeated pounding of the errant policy bombs, as well as the disinterested and abetting regulation, unencumbered Wall Street greed and the

proigate orgy of spending thats come to dene Main Street. Fixing this massive problem of which LIBOR is just an element will take time. But we can start by taking all the lobbyists, exlegislators and ex-regulators and their former staff members (and perhaps some current legislators who are serial enablers of such problems, and who enrichen themselves each time along the way) and burying them in the craters as we ll the holes in. That rant aside, devising an actual x for our problems starts by understanding just what it was that caused them. We can assign blame later. For now its far more important to stop the ood of red ink thats washing down Main Street.

First, Libor is the basis for pricing over $10 trillion of loans. As the CTFC noted: US dollar Libor is the basis for the settlement of the three-month Eurodollar futures contract traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which had a traded volume in 2011 with a notional value exceeding $564 trillion. The Wall Street Journal puts total in contracts affected at $800 trillion. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/07/ massive-furor-in-uk-over-libormanipulation-wheres-the-outragehere.html

#6. Convince the World That a Common Substance Is Rare So, why do you think diamonds are valuable? Most people will probably tell you the same reasons: they're very strong and visually striking, but most importantly, they're rare. There's only one problem with that: that last one isn't true. To explain why you think diamonds are scarce, let's rewind about a hundred years. For much of human history, diamonds were valuable because they could only be found in a select few places in the world. In the 19th century, however, that actually changed as people started to nd massive deposits, most notably in Africa. Those deposits were large enough that the rarity of diamonds was quickly becoming a thing of the past. Faced with stockpiles that were on the verge of being signicantly devalued, the owners of those deposits had three options: A) Compete against each other and watch the value of their diamonds plummet as the law of supply and demand drove prices down; B) Forget the diamond market and just use their land to invest in Six Flags Over Zimbabwe;

C) Band together to form an evil multinational monopoly that would inate prices and earn them billions upon billions of dollars. Go gure, they chose the third option, forming the cartel we know as De Beers. To maintain the perception that diamonds were rare, De Beers not only signicantly limited how many diamonds they mined each year, but also literally started buying up all the other diamonds and just stockpiling them (along with their own excess supply). Combined with a decades-long advertising campaign, they created a perception out of thin air that diamonds were rare and valuable, and that you had to drop thousands of dollars on one to prove you loved your spouse. So, if all that's true, how in the hell do they get away with it? Shouldn't it be illegal? Actually, it totally is. The monopoly De Beers holds is so blatantly illegal by U.S. antitrust laws that they've been banned from selling in the U.S. (they're forced to sell to intermediaries on the international market). Until they pleaded guilty to price xing charges in 2004, their executives wouldn't even set foot on American soil because they feared they'd be arrested on sight.

While there are indications that the cartel might nally be slowly losing its grip on the market, it's been a pretty damn impressive run.

If the Government Wants Your Email, It Gets Your Email By CHRISTOPHER DANZIG Weve been talking a lot recently about the secretly authorized stuff our government does to us like killing us, or molesting us at airports. Heres another one for the list: digging through our emails or Twitter feeds or cell phone data, without probable cause, our permission, or our knowledge. This isnt necessarily shocking in and of itself; back in April, Kashmir Hill wrote about how often the government requests information about private individuals from tech companies. Whats shocking is the ease with which the government gets that information and the secrecy with which it does so. Somehow its all based on a law that is older than the Internet. The policy recently came to light when authorities ordered a small Internet provider, as well as Twitter and Google, to turn over information about Jacob Appelbaum, an American who volunteers with WikiLeaks.

Survey of chemical migration from food contact packaging materials in Australian food Food packaging is vital for ensuring foods are not contaminated, providing physical protection and extending the shelf life of foods. Packaging materials are becoming increasingly complex in their design and composition. As such, the safety of materials is being considered by regulators around the world.

Our list of the top 15 chemical additives and their possible side effects will help decipher ingredient lists at your supermarket. 1-methylcyclopropene This gas is pumped into crates of apples to stop them from producing ethylene, the natural hormone that ripens fruit. Commonly known as SmartFresh, this chemical preserves apples for up to a year and bananas up to a month. Sulphur dioxide serves the same purpose when sprayed on grapes. Articial Colors Researchers in the early 1900s developed many articial colors from coal-tar dyes and petrochemicals. Over the years, the FDA banned many of these chemicals as proven carcinogens (cancer-exacerbating agents). Today, the FDA only allows 10 colors in foods, four of which are restricted to specic uses. This restriction suggests some risks remain. Check out the the color additives section of the FDA Web site for more information. Articial Flavoring This blanket term refers to hundreds of laboratory chemicals designed to mimic natural avors. For example, some imitation vanilla avorings are made from petroleum or paper-mill waste. In fact, a single articial avoring can be created from hundreds of individual chemicals. New studies suggest articial-

avoring additives can cause changes in behavior. Aspartame This sugar substitute is sold commercially as Equal and NutraSweet and was hailed as a savior for dieters unhappy with saccharine's unpleasant after-taste. Unfortunately, one out of 20,000 babies is born without the ability to metabolize phenylalanine, one of the two amino acids in Aspartame. As a result, it's not recommended for pregnant women or infants. Astaxanthin Almost 90-percent of salmon sold in supermarkets today come from farms. The diet of farmed salmon doesn't include crustaceans, which contains a natural astaxanthin that causes pink esh in wild salmon. As a result, producers add astaxanthin to farm-salmon diets for that fresh-from-the-water appearance. Asthaxanthin is manufactured from coal tar. Benzoic Acid/Sodium Benzoate Often added to milk and meat products, these preservatives are used in many foods, including drinks, low-sugar products, cereals and meats. Both temporarily inhibit the proper functioning of digestive enzymes and cause headaches, stomach upset, asthma attacks and hyperactivity in children.

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) These antioxidents are similar but nonidentical petroleum-derived chemicals added to oil-containing foods as a preservative and to delay rancidity. They are most commonly found in crackers, cereals, sausages, dried meats and other foods with added fats. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer considers BHA a possible human carcinogen. Canthaxanthin Egg yolks don't always come out golden yellow, so producers use this pigment to make them more palatable. Although the amounts used are very small, tests have shown greater quantities of canthaxanthin can cause retinal damage. Emulsiers Emulsiers, made from vegetable fats, glycerol and organic acids, extend the shelf life of bread products and allow liquids that wouldn't normally mix, such as oil and water, to combine smoothly. Many reduced-fat or low-calorie products use emulsiers. Commercial emulsiers also are used in low-calorie butter, margarine, salad dressings, mayonnaise and ice cream. Emulsifying agents used in foods include agar, albumin, alginates, casein, egg yolk, glycerol monostearate, xanthan gums, Irish moss, lecithin and soaps.

High-fructose Corn Syrup This ubiquitous sweetener helps maintain moisture while preserving freshness. A little fructose isn't a problem but the sheer quantity of "hidden" fructose in processed foods is startling. The consumption of large quantities has been ngered as a causative factor in heart disease. It raises blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride fats, while making blood cells more prone to clotting and accelerating the aging process. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) There was much hue and cry years ago when the public learned Chinese restaurants commonly added MSG to Chinese foods as a avor enhancer. We then learned MSG could be found in many other processed products, such as salad dressings, condiments, seasonings, bouillons and snack chips. Some reports indicate MSG causes tightening in the chest, headaches and a burning sensation in the neck and forearms. While MSG is made of components found in our bodies -- water, sodium and glutamate (a common amino acid) -ingesting it is an entirely different matter. Olestra The FDA approved this fake fat for use in snack foods several years ago, over objections from dozens of researchers. Their concern was that Olestra inhibits our ability to absorb the healthy vitamins in fruits and vegetables thought to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. Even at

low doses, Olestra is commonly known to cause "anal leakage" and other gastrointestinal problems. Perhaps this is why the FDA requires foods containing Olestra carry a warning label. Partially-hydrogenated Oils Hydrogenation is the process of heating an oil and passing hydrogen bubbles through it. The fatty acids in the oil then acquire some of the hydrogen, which makes it more dense. If you fully hydrogenate, you create a solid (a fat) out of the oil. But if you stop part way, you create a semi-solid, partially hydrogenated oil with the consistency of butter. Because this process is so much cheaper than using butter, partiallyhydrogenated oils are found in many, many foods. Their addictive properties have linked partially-hydrogenated oils to weight problems caused by a slowed metabolism and the development of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Potassium Bromate Potassium bromate increases volume in white our, breads and rolls. Most bromate rapidly breaks down to an innocuous form, but it's known to cause cancer in animalsand even small amounts in bread can create a risk for humans. California requires a cancer warning on the product label if potassium bromate is an ingredient.

Sodium Nitrite and Nitrate These closely related chemicals have been used for centuries to preserve meat. While nitrate itself is harmless, it easily converts to nitrite which, when combined with secondary-amines compounds form nitrosamines, a powerful cancerexacerbating chemical. This chemical reaction occurs easily during the frying process.

The contamination of food by chemical hazards is a worldwide public health concern and is a leading cause of trade problems internationally. Contamination may occur through environmental pollution of the air, water and soil, such as the case with toxic metals, PCBs and dioxins, or through the intentional use of various chemicals, such as pesticides, animal drugs and other agrochemicals.

Shopping was easy when most food came from farms. Now, factory-made foods have made chemical additives a signicant part of our diet. In general, it's best to avoid the following ingredients. * Sodium nitrite * Saccharin, Aspartame, Acesulfame-K * Caffeine * Olestra * Food Dyes And don't forget to cut back on sugar and salt, which cause more harm than all the other additives combined.

brizzadizza Jan 20, 2010 Rank: 5 / 5 (1) You know what seems an odd correlation to me, the same people who claim the scientists involved in AGW modeling and theory are corrupting data for the phat grant money suddenly trust food chemists when they say some chemical byproduct of an industry process is a safe food additive. It seems strange to me that many of the people who claim that an entire branch of science is corrupt and obviously wrong don't apply that same degree of skepticism to industry scientists employed by the producers of these same chemical additives. I'm sure many chemical additives are absolutely harmless, but a quick perusal of the relevant literature demonstrates the corrupting inuence of chemical manufacturers on public safety studies. An example is the use of aluminum manufacture byproducts in the uoridation of municipal water supplies without adequate safety testing or even any clear demonstration of the bio-availability of uorosilic acid as opposed to natural NaF which clearly uoridates teeth.

To The Worlds Religious Leaders The enduring legacy of the twentieth century is that it compelled the peoples of the world to begin seeing themselves as the members of a single human race, and the earth as that races common homeland. Despite the continuing conict and violence that darken the horizon, prejudices that once seemed inherent in the nature of the human species are everywhere giving way. Down with them come barriers that long divided the family of man into a Babel of incoherent identities of cultural, ethnic or national origin. That so fundamental a change could occur in so brief a period virtually overnight in the perspective of historical timesuggests the magnitude of the possibilities for the future.

Plastics packaging has brought enormous benets to food hygiene and safety. Do we really want to go back to the day when ies swarm around butter pats at the corner shop or even worse fatalities arising from the consumption of grain stored in rotting sacks? The very same plastics used in packaging are those used in life saving medical devices such as heart valves and articial limbs. Following an accident, do people want to shun a life saving blood transfusion because the tube carrying the blood is made exible by phthalates? Human exposure to Bisphenol-A (BPA) is extraordinarily tiny, a point made by independent authorities such as the EFSA and the FSA. Eminent endocrinologists have pointed to the unrepeatability of the work of BPAs opponents. You can be very condent indeed in the safety of plastics. - Philip Law , London, UK, 13/6/2012 09:58

Mark Golding 11 months ago The secure and therefore secret networks operated by individuals working under the protection of State Security sections of covert Government Agencies and Departments legally beyond the scope of congressional or parliamentarian jurisdiction are not hiding just military data but all kinds of data pertaining to the activities of elite groups using clandestine public services for furthering aristocratic aims. The reasons why a huge amount of data is kept hidden from the public is because those who most benet from its hived existence, the ones who contract themselves to employers, both public and private, who knowingly agree to bind themselves to covenants and agreements that indemnify them against individual liability as State agents of mass destruction, propaganda, distortion, kidnapping, torture, deception, murder and falsication of evidence, are the ones who get highly paid as an army of professionals to work clandestinely on behalf of small sections of society that collectively own the Bricks and Mortar of the State. To give you a clue of the dimension and scale of the operating structures in society where data is obfuscated. The Land Registry. The structure of Land Ownership in Europe and the UK is a closely guarded secret and protected by International Law from being divulged to the public. No-one can access a registry that shows who owns vast estates

across a vast area of land and a corresponding audit trail that shows how much revenue each year they receive and how much of this ends up in off shore tax havens. Data is available but it is hidden. On the contrary, data is freely available to government agencies and other networks that give details of every aspect of your life as a member of the great uninformed public. They know everything about you but you have no right to know everything about them. What Julian is doing is addressing this age old paradigm of secret power being used by sociopaths and extremely wicked people simply because they have inherited between them the BULK of the wealth of the State. By the beginning of the 20th century only approx 2% of the UK population owned most of the land between them. The public owned nothing. All land is rentable b ut not taxable. So you must ask yourself the question why is it that this fact has not been made public? mmm?

How do I create a computer virus? Question How do I create a computer virus? Answer If you are interested in creating a computer virus, Trojan, worm, malware, or other malicious program as revenge, payback, or as a prank we suggest you rethink. Creating a virus that deletes les or causes other issues resolves nothing and will result in prosecution by the law. In other words, you could be ned or sent to prison. Instead of creating computer viruses or other malware consider learning a computer programming language. You'll learn a lot more by learning one or more programming languages and become more qualied in getting hired at a company that designs programs or analyzes viruses. No one ever got hired because they wrote a computer virus. Below is additional questions and answers that relate to this same subject. I only want to write a virus to learn how they work.

You will learn a lot more about how computer programs and viruses work by learning to program than you ever will by writing and tinkering with computer viruses. A computer virus is only a program designed to do malicious tasks on the computer such as deleting les, inserting its code into other les, and copying itself to other places and computers accessible to the computer that is running the virus. By learning to program, you'll not only know how these tasks are possible, but also learn much more. If I create a good computer virus, I will be famous. No, the only fame you may get is a brief news article or a picture of you being handcuffed and sent to prison. Once incarcerated it will go on your record and make it next to impossible to get hired at any respectable computer company or impossible to get hired by any government agency. If you were to write a computer virus that was successful you would want to remain anonymous in fear of being prosecuted by the law. Also, if you think about it, almost everyone knows who Bill Gates is and what he has done for computers but have no clue about Jeffrey Parson.

If I write a good virus, I'll get hired at a security rm or antivirus company. False, no respectable security rm or antivirus company wants to afliated with a virus or malware creator that infected potential customer computers. If you're interested in getting a job with a security rm or antivirus company you'll have a much better chance by learning to programming, becoming a participant in security discussions, being a beta tester, or nding vulnerabilities in programs and reporting them to the developers. Companies such as Google will even pay good money to anyone who reports bugs or security vulnerabilities about any of their products. Can Computer Hope send me additional details, examples, or other information about creating viruses? No, Computer Hope will not send anyone any other additional information about creating computer viruses, worms, or Trojans. This document was only created to help deter people from creating computer viruses and learn computer programming instead.

What programming languages should I learn? Programming language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python are all good programming languages for new computer programmers. See the below link if you're not exactly sure what language to start learning rst.

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) / Booby Traps IED Overview An IED can be almost anything with any type of material and initiator. It is a "homemade" device that is designed to cause death or injury by using explosives alone or in combination with toxic chemicals, biological toxins, or radiological material. IEDs can be produced in varying sizes, functioning methods, containers, and delivery methods. IEDs can utilize commercial or military explosives, homemade explosives, or military ordnance and ordnance components. They are unique in nature because the IED builder has had to improvise with the materials at hand. Designed to defeat a specic target or type of target, they generally become more difcult to detect and protect against as they become more sophisticated. IEDs fall into three types of categories: Package Type IED Vehicle-Borne IEDs (VBIEDs) Suicide Bomb IED Though they can var widely in shape and form, IEDs share a common set of components and consist of the following:

A switch/trigger; An initiator (fuze); Main charge (explosive ll); A power source for the switch/trigger; and A container. Improvised devices are characterized by varying employment techniques. In most of the techniques shown below, an unexploded ordnance (UXO) can easily be engineered to replace a mine or explosive device using one of the several following techniques: Coupling. Coupling is a method of linking one mine or explosive device to another, usually with detonating cord. When the rst device is detonated, it also detonates the linked explosive. This technique is often used to defeat countermine equipment, such as mine rollers Rolling. The roller will pass over the initial, unfuzed device and set off the second fuzed device. This in turn detonates the overpassed device underneath the clearing vehicle. When the linked devices are directional fragmentation mines, they can create a large, lethal engagement area. Boosting. Buried mines, UXOs, or other explosive devices are stacked on top of one another. The device buried deepest from the surface is fuzed. Fuzing only the deepest ordnance helps mask no- and low-metal explosive hazards placed near the surface. This reduces the probability of detection by metal detectors, and it increases the force of the blast.

Sensitizing antitank (AT) mines. On some nonmetallic AT mines, the pressure plate is cracked and the spring is removed to reduce the pressure required to initiate the mine. Similarly, the pressure plate can be removed from metallic AT mines to create the same effect. A pressurefuzed AP mine can be placed on the top of an AT mine, thus creating a very large AP mine as an alternative method. Daisy chaining. AP mines may be used in daisy chains linked with other explosive hazards. Enemy forces may link the mines together with trip wire or detonating cord. When the initial mine is detonated, the other mines may detonate. This may also create large, lethal engagement areas.

Article | February 2012 The Evolution of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) By: Peter W. Singer Email Share Tweet StumbleUpon Will the weapon of choice of todays insurgents also be the weapon of tomorrow? That is the question posed by new data on the proliferation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). While the IED is sometimes described as a new technology, it actually has a lengthy history. Ships loaded with explosives were used as far back as the 1500s, while various jury-rigged bombs and mines were used in our own Civil War, such as at the naval battle of Mobile Bay and the land battle of Petersburg. Even the new version of IEDs whose explosively formed penetrators can pierce even the armor plating of the U.S. militarys mine-resistant vehicles actually dates back to World War II. But the use of such weapons in the past was fairly limited and certainly without strategic consequences. The very name improvised was originally meant as a sort of putdown. An IED was used when you couldnt get something better, not

something to be widely emulated. This turned with Iraq and Afghanistan, where the weapons helped neutralize the U.S.s overwhelming advantage. They proved particularly effective against softer military targets such as Humvees, trucks and foot patrols, as well as civilians, and became the signature weapon in those wars. Last year in Afghanistan, they caused just over half of U.S. military deaths, according to iCasualties.org. But what has gone relatively unnoticed is that the number of IED attacks outside these two nations has doubled over the past three years. The rst nine months of 2011 saw an average of 608 attacks per month in 99 countries, according to the Defense Department. The implications are manifold. The rst is that the danger will not disappear even after the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan ends. The IED has proved to be a cheap, relatively easy-to-use tool against both civilians and advanced militaries. And so it will continue to be copied. The IED is not disappearing; rather it is proliferating. This means that we need to stop visualizing the weapon as a tool only for insurgents or groups afliated with al-Qaida or the Taliban. There have been many actual or attempted homemade bomb attacks inside the U.S. a substantial number made by people who couldnt nd Mecca on a map. A good

example is the Spokane, Wash., plot in January 2011. Kevin Harpham, a white supremacist afliated with the National Alliance group, recently pleaded guilty to placing a shaped charge, designed to emit a blast of shrapnel covered with rat poison (which would have kept victims wounds from coagulating) along a parade route for the Martin Luther King holiday. Disaster was averted when a parking lot maintenance man discovered the bomb just 30 minutes before the parade. While the incident received far less media coverage than it would have were it connected to alQaida, Harphams IED would have likely hurt more people than any other terrorist incident inside the United States since 9/11. An enduring threat requires an enduring capability to counter it. With their growing and spreading use, however, IEDs present increasingly difcult balance-of-costs problems. The United States has spent roughly $17 billion on various anti-IED gear over the last decade, and thats not counting the $45 billion weve spent on mineresistant vehicles. We have to gure out how to alter the investment ratio. This is not just a budgeting issue. It is unsustainable to keep throwing billions of dollars to ght a technology that costs the other side tens of dollars. We need not silver-bullet solutions but ones that are cheap and scalable.

The second challenge is that much of our effort has gone toward the IEDs of yesterday and today, rather than where they are headed tomorrow. We have spent billions of dollars to develop and buy gear that deals with relatively simple IEDs, the kind that are usually buried in the dirt in rural regions. We have, for example, made great advances in standoff metal detection and can now spot a single piece of metal along a dirt road in Afghanistan. The problem is not every future battleeld will resemble the rural villages that Alexander the Great fought over 2,000 years ago. We need to ensure our countermeasures also work in the more likely urban battle zones of the future. City streets, for example, tend to have more metal in them than rural dirt roads. Thus, the key investments will not just be to nd more cost-effective systems but ones that can handle any IED in any locale. These include systems that detect the telltale chemical residue at a distance. Finally, we need to prepare for weapons that get up and move. While todays IEDs are generally planted in dirt, we have seen modied ground robotic ones used in Iraq and attempts at aerial ones inside the United States. In September, the FBI arrested Rezwan Ferdaus, who allegedly plotted to load an explosives-packed, remotecontrolled aircraft the size of a small car into the Pentagon. The hard part reportedly

was not getting the technology of a drone. Rather, according to authorities, Ferdaus made the mistake of asking an FBI informant where to get C-4 explosive. When it comes to how we think about IEDs, we need to face facts: Threats evolve, even improvised ones.

1. What is the Poverty Line, anyway? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it's a family of four (two adults, two children) that earns less than $21,834. 2. Still, $35,000 is basic-needs budget for a U.S. family of four (two adults, two children), as calculated in An Atlas of Poverty in America. 3. In 2008, nearly 43.6 million people Americans lived in poverty (about 13.2% of the population); 12.9 million were under the age of 18. 4. In the US, poverty is still tied to race: 24.7% of the African American population live below the poverty line while 8.6% of Caucasians do. 5. School budgets are tied to property taxes. This is why schools in poor neighborhoods get about half as much money per student than schools in afuent neighborhoods. 6. Three-quarters of the nation's schools (almost 60,000) report needing repairs, renovations or modernization in order to reach good condition. 7. Not surprisingly, most schools in bad condition are in cities where at least 70% of students are below the poverty line.

8. Urban students are less likely to graduate than their suburban counterparts. High school graduation rates are 15% lower in the nations urban schools when compared with those located in the suburbs. 9. Graduation rates are also lower among certain groups, particularly ethnic minorities and males. In 2008, the graduation rate among African-Americans was 61.5% compared to 81% for whites. 10. In 2008, 17 of the nation's 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50%, with the lowest rates reported in Detroit (24.9%), Indianapolis (30.5%) and Cleveland (34.1%). 11. Children of poor families are up to six times more likely to drop out than wealthy children. Are you inspired to make a difference? Check out our tips and ideas for your drive!

To summarize: 1. American education is not broken. Our less than spectacular international test scores are not because of bad teaching, but are because of our high rate of child poverty. 2. Reducing poverty will improve educational attainment, not vice-versa. 3. A reasonable rst step is to protect children from the effects of poverty: No child left unfed, more health care, improve access to books. 4. We can easily pay for much of this by reducing testing.

OVERVIEW Two major projects examined the formation and role of attitudes and aspirations towards education: The rst helped us understand more about how important attitudes and behaviour are in the educational attainment of poorer children. We are now looking in more detail at the implications of this research for policy and practice, in school and children's services and more widely. We also asked for people's views on these ndings: whether they have had any personal experience of the issues raised; if they know of any actions being taken to address the issues; and what other factors they believe are important. A second project aimed to understand how attributes of the individual, family, place and school in deprived urban areas come together to shape aspirations in the critical early years of adolescence. In particular, it explored how parental circumstances and attitudes, the school as an institution and the opportunities available within neighbourhoods inuence children's identities and aspirations towards education and employment.

Two nal reports in this programme explored what part policies and practice that address attitudes and aspirations could play in closing the attainment gap. They set out the evidence on whether these links are causal and on whether interventions addressing attitudes and aspirations have a good chance of reducing the attainment gap between richer and poorer children. A Roundup of the key ndings from the programme of work has also been published. In autumn 2012, three thinkpieces will examine education and poverty in England, Scotland and Wales.

Poverty remains the greatest risk for a child's development in Germany, according to a long-term study released on Tuesday. Social experts say more than 2.5 million children in Germany live in poverty. The long-term study by AWO, a charity with links to trade unions, and Germany's ISS social educational institute tracked 900 children in diverse family settings over 15 years. It concludes that the determining factors are the parents' educational backgrounds, level of income and family structure. While 51 percent of the children remained in long-term poverty, the study found that the expression "born poor, stay poor" did not always apply. AWO chairman Wolfgang Stadler said better futures for children are possible when parents, kindergartens and schools cooperate. "It depends on continual caregiving," Stadler said when presenting the study in Berlin on Tuesday. One critical moment is whether the switch from kindergarten to primary school is poorly coordinated.

Better resourced youth and child services "must take more responsibility for childrens' development," Stadler said. "Only then can social justice and equality be produced." The study also found that young adults living in single-parent families received less personal attention at home. In these cases, poorer children were found to be more selfsufcient. In poorer families, 51 percent of parents believed that their children were old enough to care for themselves; that number was just 35 percent in families not trapped in poverty. 'Not small adults' "Children need orientation," said lead researcher Gerda Holz. "They are not small adults." Even for 16- or 17-year-olds, a breakdown in joint care by parents and educators has big impacts, Holz said. Such children and teenagers ended up as substitute parents for younger siblings, jobbing to earn extra income. "Poverty leads to more burdens and poorer chances," Holz said.

The study also found that children's migratory backgrounds play a lesser role in poverty. The bigger inuences lie in the parents' backgrounds. Germany's DKSB Child Protection Federation estimates that 2.5 million children in German live under the poverty line as dened by law. That amounts to 19.4 percent of all people under 18 years of age in Germany. Poor-rich gap grows A more general report recently published by Germany's Labor Ministry points to a growing gap between rich and poor. In 1998, 45 percent of Germany's total wealth was owned by the wealthiest 10 percent of the population. Ten years later, that proportion had risen to 53 percent, while around half of all households owned just 1 percent. Chancellor Angela Merkel, who faces a federal election next year, quickly ruled out suggestions of a redistribution of wealth, possibly via higher taxes for the rich. mkg/ipj (epd, kna, dpa, dpad)

Higher unemployment in France, greater poverty in Germany December 4th, 2012 By Eric Heyer Will France be the new Greece, as The Economist has argued? Should French reforms be accelerated and be modelled on those implemented in Germany ten years ago? For German public opinion, for its authorities and for a large number of economic experts, the answer is obvious. Not only does Germany have a lower decit, but unlike its French neighbour it has also managed to signicantly reduce its unemployment rate. Starting from a similar level in the early 2000s (close to 7.7% at end 2001), the unemployment rate now stands at 5.4% of the labour force in Germany, 4.5 percentage points below the level in France (Figure 1). The purpose of this note is not to revisit the reasons for this difference, which have already been the subject of posts on this blog (see in particular the impact of demography, by G. Cornilleau, of the reduction in working hours, by E. Heyer and M. Plane, and of the rise in male-female inequalities, by H. Privier). The point rather is simply to note that the reduction of unemployment in Germany has been accompanied by a steep rise in poverty.

According to Eurostat, over the past six years the poverty rate (measured at the threshold of 60% of median income) has risen by 3.6 percentage points in Germany, four times more than the rise observed in France (0.9 point). In 2011, despite the sharp drop in unemployment and the large differential with France, the poverty rate in Germany was 1.8 points higher than the level observed in France, i.e. a difference of over 11% (Figures 2 & 3). There is, therefore, a hidden side to the reforms implemented in Germany over the past ten years, which have led to lower unemployment but greater poverty.

Germans in more danger of poverty than Czechs Published: 27 Mar 12 12:28 CET Germans are in greater danger of falling below the poverty line than their closest European neighbours, the German Statistics Ofce announced Tuesday. * Berlin bats back Berlusconi barbs (11 Dec 12) * Flush Germany balances budget early (3 Dec 12) * Self-employed struggle - more need state support (3 Dec 12) As many as 13 million Germans, 15.6 percent of the population, are in danger of falling into poverty, the latest statistics, from 2009, show. That is a signicantly higher proportion than in Austria, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Overall, though, Germans are relatively well-off, since the overall average of the European Union is 16.4 percent. The ofcial denition of being "in danger of poverty" is anyone whose income including state benets - is less than 60 percent of the national average. In Germany that means anyone living on less than 940 a month is ofcially vulnerable to poverty.

By this standard, the Czech Republic has the lowest poverty rate, at only nine percent, followed by the Netherlands at 10 percent and Austria at around 12 percent. The rate has edged up slightly in Germany in the past few years. In 2007, only 15 percent were threatened with poverty. But taken as a whole, wealth in Germany is relatively well-distributed compared to the rest of the EU. The richest 20 percent of Germans earn around four times as much as the poorest while the EU average is ve times as much. The Local/DAPD/bk What do you think? Leave your comment below.

Child poverty in Germany, chances to escape and the Governments approach to face it November 14, 2012 by studentnovasbe | Leave a comment Melanie Rathmann (Student number 1129) The Federal Statistical Ofce stated that 15% of the German population is threatened by poverty (2012)[1] and over 2.5 Million children live in income poverty.[2] The used poverty line is set at 60% of the national median equivalized household income per capita. Children from parents who are considered as poor have relatively low chances from escaping poverty since they have less money, less books and other materials for education. And many of those children have less time to learn because they have to work besides school to get some pocket money or they have to take over the duties of their parents. That is why people keep saying: Once you are poor, youll stay poor. A long term study (over 15 years) examined the chances of children, who grew up in poor families, to escape from poverty and the determinants of poverty exits or entries. The result is that they are able to exit poverty if parents, kindergartens and schools work together very closely. In the study 43% of the respondents were able to escape from poverty but in the long run 20% of them fell back into poverty. The reason in

most cases was that the continuous support was missing. Another result was that the origin of the parents was even less important for the chances of a child than the social background. To judge people with a migrant background as a problematic social group is just a prejudice.

While the nationwide poverty rate rose slightly to 15.1 percent in 2011, up from 14.5 percent the year before, the increase was more than double that in big cities -- 19.6 percent in 2011 compared to 18.1 percent in 2010. The ndings, published last week by the Institute of Economic and Social Research, part of the Hans Bckler Foundation, were based on data from Germany's 15 mostpopulous cities, in which about 14 million people live. The study dened poverty according to the scientically accepted standard of 60 percent of the average net income, weighted to an individual's or family's needs -- about 848 per month for a single person.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2012 Money laundering: JP Morgan in the frame for Venezuelan drugs Moral Tones employers face difcult questions about Venezuelan drug monies Those slightly dense British politicians convinced that American attacks on our banks involved in drug-money laundering were motivated by envy may be in for a few jolts in the next few weeks, I hear. The rst of these comes in the shape of US regulators being on the verge of ling such charges against that most un-British of banks (save for the presence of Tony Blair) JP Morgan. While the extent of the inquiry taking place into JPM is for the moment vague, Im told the liabilities could be gigantic. Morgan has already gone public to say it expects heightened scrutiny of its compliance with laundry regulations. But I understad that, in turn, the Ofce of the Comptroller of the Currency is about to conrm it will examine Morgan activities and failures in detecting the use of its bank to render grubby drug money clean. This new investigation does not, apparently, involve Colombia, but rather Venezuela. Although the Venezuelan government has trumpeted one major blow after another against drug trafckers, recent investigations suggest that the claims are

exaggerated. And poor diplomatic relations with President Hugo Chvez of Venezuela, mean that the reach of American drug agents is limited in the region. In September 2011, Barack Obama signed a memorandum designating Venezuela as a country that failed to meet international obligations to ght drug trafcking. He cited a federal report that concluded that the country was one of the preferred trafcking routes out of South America and had a generally permissive and corrupt environment. Earlier this year, British bank HSBC set aside $700 million to cover investigations that could result in one of the biggest ever nes. A U.S. Senate report criticized a pervasively polluted culture at the bank, its panel examining transactions tied to Mexico, Iran, the Cayman Islands and Saudi Arabia. And last month, New Yorks banking regulator reached a $340 million settlement with British bank Standard Chartered after the regulator investigated transactions tied to Iran. Both events were attacked by London Mayor Boris Johnson and British Chancellor George Osborne. How we Brits wish the gobby end of the Conservative Party would engage brain before tongue.

This has long been the case in Colombia, though there of course the collaboration there is between the right wing paramilitaries, the narcos, various politicians and the army. Despite all the talk of disbanding the paramilitaries and peace with the FARC, no one in any position of power has much interest in the status quo changing.

I doubt that the banks really care about the source of the money they transfer and I am sure they think they are being asked to do law enforcements job for them, without any recompense, which is understandable.

Money Laundering Through The Criminals Eyes by Julie DiMauro on July 13, 2012 There are untold numbers of money laundering schemes involving legitimate businesses. Legal businesses, especially those involved in trade based transactions, have played a much bigger role in the cleaning of illicit funds than most people realize. Money laundering is a process that begins with placement, usually involves layering and often winds up including the integration of funds into the legitimate economy. Sophisticated money laundering is carried out typically by a loose-knit group of people with varying resources. It is multifaceted and more complex than an otherwise two-dimensional approach carried out by just one method. Its not typical that one person or resource can, in any sustained manner, entirely complete the money laundering process without detection. Legitimate businesses may participate with banks (wittingly or unwittingly) to complete a series of transactions to launder illicit funds. 1. The purchase of goods from legitimate businesses inside free trade zones is a common method of laundering large amounts of illicit funds.

It is an extraordinarily popular technique; it not only enables the disposal of illicit cash, but offers a legitimate-appearing source of revenue to organizations when purchased goods are sold. In those zones, representatives of organizations tender large amounts of bulk cash, wire transfers, third-party checks, cashier s checks, money orders and traveler s checks to businesses that offer the bulk sales of goods manufactured all over the world. These forms of payment are accepted readily and labeled normal in free trade zones. The major free trade zones operating around the globe are often situated inside haven countries with limited or ineffective transaction reporting. Dubai is a prime example of the type of free zone that is attractive to those with illicit funds. My anti-money laundering (AML) contacts tell me that it is amazing to them that some sources suggest trade-based transactions in Dubai are an emerging money-laundering technique. The truth is that it has been used by crooks to clean dirty money for decades. 2. Another popular money-laundering scheme involves the exploitation of the legitimate export companies operating in many countries, such as Colombia. Colombian export companies offer a unique opportunity for individuals in South America who own illicit funds abroad and want to repatriate dirty money to their

countries. The laundering of funds through export companies based outside the United States can best be illustrated with a hypothetical example. Lets say that export company A in Colombia sells $150m worth of coffee to Starbucks in the United States every year. At the time of exportation, export company A receives a document of exportation documenting that $150m worth of coffee was sent to various U.S. ports on behalf of Starbucks. With that document of exportation, export company A can coordinate with its local bank and the Bank of the Republic in Colombia to take advantage of special high exchange rates given to exporters, thus enabling the $150m to end up in Colombia. Heres how it works: The U.S.-based buyer sends wire transfers to a U.S.-based correspondent bank, for credit to the account of the Colombian bank in the United States, and for further credit to their foreign branch in Colombia. In some instances, notation is also made that the wire is intended for further credit to export company A. Within 30 days, those funds are converted to Colombian pesos and credited to the account of export company A in Colombia. What the rest of the world doesnt know is that export company A left much of their U.S. dollar revenue outside of Colombia, because it had no interest in repatriating all $150m. Some of the money

might be kept out of Colombia because of concerns about local inationary rates, or because some of the $150m was needed for other types of US-dollar transactions carried out by export company A. Hypothetically, lets say that $30m of the $150m was not repatriated. What often happens is that trafcking organizations pay export company A an under-the-table fee (usually an amount equal to two percent to ve percent of the illicit funds moved) to transfer $30m of narco-dollars from the United States to Colombia, under the guise that it came from the sale of coffee. This process creates a legitimate appearance for the $30m that crossed the borders of the United States to Colombia. 3. Large volumes of manufactured goods in the United States are also purchased with illicit dollars converted to third-party checks, cashiers checks, money orders and travelers checks. These funds are tendered routinely to US companies with Latin American divisions that market products in Latin America. Poultry, cigarettes, aircraft and even global greeting card companies receive these funds, usually through a lock-box arrangement with their local U.S. bank, and often fail to le the 8300 forms disclosing their receipt of these funds. An AML expert with whom I spoke told me that he has spoken to credit managers around

the United States who collect debt from Latin American buyers purchasing container loads of U.S.-produced goods. They have reported to him that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of payments from Latin American companies are received most often in the form of thirdparty cashiers checks, money orders and travelers checks in increments under $10,000. Compliance and AML ofcers need more support when these types of situations arise. They should be given a means by which when the circumstances warrant it they have the time and resources to come to a fair risk assessment and evaluate the big picture, and not just the snapshot transaction of the moment. If many compliance ofcers dont have that opportunity, they need to escalate the matter up the line to those with the authority to give them this access and ability to maintain an effective an up-todate AML program.

But let's get back to textbook basics so you get familiar with the lingo. The money laundering process involves these three basic steps that, in banking parlance, are known as: 1. Placement physically placing illegal cash in banks or purchasing goods with it...such as art, precious metals, real estate, gems or jewelry and so forth. 2. Layering the act of separating the proceeds from their criminal origins through complex moves such as wire transfers; conversion of cash to nancial instruments; sale of high value goods such as art, precious metals etc.; and real estate investments. And "offshore shell companies" are a common layering tool as well. Shells obscure the benecial owners through restrictive offshore bank secrecy laws, not to mention attorney-client privilege. 3. Integration making the wealth derived from the illicit proceeds appear legitimate. Using funds on deposit in foreign nancial institutions as security for domestic loans is a favorite technique. Another ploy is overbilling or producing false invoices for goods allegedly sold across borders.

Latvian ports lavatories for money laundering? Seamen have a proverb with a questionable government undertone: the border control knows 1000 places where contraband can be stashed on a ship; the crew of the ship knows 2000 places where contraband can be stashed. The same principle applies to marine tax avoidance and illegal money legalization schemes. Unfortunately, there is an abundance of such crafty people in Latvia.

How to clean up the dirty business of money laundering Economic and monetary affairs 14-11-2012

Money laundering continues to be a problem BELGA_EFE_A.Diaz The crisis and new technologies have made it easier for criminals to launder money despite the current EU directives in place and the best efforts of law enforcement agencies. The Parliament's special committee on organised crime held a public hearing on 12 November to discuss with experts what can be done. The scope of the problem Money laundering accounted for 2.7% of the world's gross domestic product in 2009, which equals about $1,600 billion. Criminals launder their ill-gotten gains in many different ways. For example, it can be through using ctitious transactions, creating false gambling winnings or by taking advantage of online banking services. Using online gambling to launder money Online gambling is used by criminals as an efcient way to launder money, said Ingo Fiedler of the University of Hamburg. He gave the committee an example of how easy

this method is. For example, if you had made 200,000 from illegal drug trafcking, you could deposit the money in a bank account in a tax haven. You then open a poker account using this bank account. After playing, you wire the remaining sum to your real bank account as a gambling win. As money won during gambling is tax free, this method has a low visibility and costs very little. Inltrating the banking system The crisis has created additional opportunities for organised crime to inltrate the banking sector, warned Antonio Maria Costa, the UN's fomer under-secretary general. Banks have had to search for fresh money as the nancial crisis has paralysed inter-banking lending. Gangs can make use of this to increase their inuence by for example depositing banknotes, acquiring shares and sitting on boards. Banks that are involved in money laundering usually go unpunished.

How to Launder Money Through Art and Antiquities Posted on September 12, 2012 3 With $4.79 billion in sales last year, the Chinese art market has overtaken art markets in the US and UK to become the largest in the world. According to a recent report in Business Insider, however, the booming industry is not for the love of art. Experts believe that the growth of the Chinese art market is due to articial or show bidding, a tool used to launder money. According to founder of Skates Art Market Research Sergey Skaterschikov, The Chinese market is really big on money laundering. The good thing about art from that perspective is you can always say I bought it for $100 and now its worth $10 million. Its very difcult to argue with that because of poor transparency of the art price. Art transactions have quickly become the method of choice for those wishing to hide their ill-gotten gains. These transactions can also be used to legally pass bribes. To do this, a buyer simply pays the seller many times what an object is worth.

The problem of laundering money and committing other crimes through art and antiquities is not limited to China. According to the Association for Research into Crimes against Art, art crime is the third largest grossing criminal activity worldwide.

Rather than simply being used as a conduit for money laundering the proceeds of other crimes, there is some sort of activity relating to player transfers that is generating cash proceeds from criminal activity.

How to Launder Money by Philip Brewer on 1 September 2007 Money laundering is not a simple concept. It's two simple concepts, because there are two different in fact, nearly completely opposite activities that are called money laundering. Here's how to do both of them. (See also: How to Make Moonshine) Classic Money Laundering The classic money launderer was someone who had illicit income drug dealer, jewel thief, con man and worried that he'd get the Al Capone treatment and be convicted of tax evasion even if the government couldn't pin any of the underlying criminal activity on him. If the illicit income is small and especially if you also have a straight job that you do pay taxes on, there's no need to do any money laundering. For example, suppose you work in some cube farm that pays most of what you need to live on, but you also turn the occasional trick to bring in a hundred dollars a week. You probably don't need to launder that money. Cut down on the amount of cash you take from your paycheck and use the money from hooking to make up the difference. As long as you still take some cash from your paycheck, the government would have a hard time

proving that your cash expenses exceed what you're taking from legitimate sources. But suppose that illicit income is a bit larger. Once you've got more than a few hundred dollars a week more than can be conveniently hidden in your ordinary cash expenses you've got a problem. As soon as you do anything with the money spend or invest it it might well come to the attention of the tax man. The solution classic money laundering is to create a business to ostensibly earn that money. Any business that brings in a good deal of cash will do. You run the business as usual during the day. Then, after closing, you feed in your day's illicit receipts, pretending that they'd been received by the business. In due course the business pays its taxes and all the tax man can see is that you're running an unusually protable business. Now, the tax man may well take an interest in such a protable business, so it's best if it'd be hard to prove that you couldn't be doing the business you're paying taxes on. A bar, for example, wouldn't be the best choice, because you wouldn't have ordered enough booze to pour all the drinks your books will say you've sold. Coin operated laundries and car washes are classics, because the only way to prove that you hadn't actually done all that business would be to have an undercover agent surveil your place for

weeks, counting every coin inserted by every customer. (Although agents have been known to subpoena the water bill and try to make the case that way.) Modern Money Laundering The other thing sometimes called money laundering is when you have some big lump of cash that you'd rather not have people nd out about. Sometimes it's an effort to keep the money from the tax man (literally the opposite of classic money laundering), other times the goal is to keep it from coming to the attention of someone else who might feel like they have some claim to the money an ex-spouse, a creditor, the guy who owns the land where you found the bag of gold coins in the culvert. In this kind of money laundering, the point is to make the money disappear. This is the sort of money laundering where you might make use of foreign banks, shell companies, and so on. There are two parts to these strategies. First, you need to make the money disappear. Second, you need to make it reappear in some gradual fashion that doesn't bring it to the attention of whoever you're trying to hide it from.

Disappearing the money The easiest way to disappear the money, especially if it's already cash (as opposed to, let's say, silver bullion or a winning lottery ticket) is to just stash it in a safety deposit box. You miss out on any investment income, but it's safe and you know where to nd it. If you really want to be able to invest the money, get it overseas. If it's an amount that you can just carry with you, buy a vacation package to the Cayman Islands or visit your family roots in Europe and take a little side trip to Switzerland or Austria or Liechtenstein. There are plenty of fancy, complex ways to get the money overseas, that mostly require an accomplice. The most basic is an invoice scam. Establish a business that imports or exports something. Meet with your customer or supplier and arrange with him to either over-pay or under-bill, and then to have your counterpart deposit (most of) the excess into your foreign bank account. An ongoing scheme is good, because the guy knows that the lucrative cash ow will stop if you nd out the money isn't getting deposited as it should, but you can also work this as a one-shot deal if your counterpart can be trusted.

Banks used to help their good customers get money discretely overseas, but nowadays there are a bunch of laws against such things, and bankers are particularly averse to going to jail for their customers. Expect them to refused to get involved and to rat you out. Reappearing the money Now we're basically back into classic money laundering territory. If you stashed a duffel bag full of cash it in a safety deposit box (or under your bed), all you need to do is pull out a few bills now and then when you're heading out for a night on the town. You can raise your standard of living modestly. Alternatively, you could increase the amount that's going into your 401(k) and then use the cash to keep your standard of living about the same gradually turning the hidden money into above-board money. If you've got the money overseas somewhere, bring it back in some way that makes it legit. The easiest would be to create an overseas company that then hires you to do something. You do whatever it is and send an invoice whenever you want some cash. You can also reverse the invoice scam that let you get the money overseas in the rst place now you under-pay (or over-bill), while making up the difference out of your foreign bank account. A third option is a

fake loan where you "borrow" the money and then simply fail to pay the money back. Instant disappear-reappear cycles If you can't wait to reappear the money gradually, and the amount involved isn't too big, you can always use a simple casino scam. Go to a casino and buy some chips. Do a little low-risk gambling. (For example, bet each chip, one at a time, on red. Do that 20 or 30 times and you'll have about the same amount you started with.) Get a few more chips and repeat. Play a few different games (blackjack, craps, slots). Ideally, go to several different casinos and repeat the whole process there. Eventually, cash in all your chips and go home with a story about how you won a bunch of money at roulette. Pay taxes on your winnings.

#1 St. Albans School, Washington, D.C. Boarding student tuition: $54,151 Enrollment: 575 Endowment: $45 million Perks: St. Albans offers its own school of public service for a month each summer. Methodology: The boarding schools taken into consideration come from several lists of the nation's top private high schools. Rankings are based on tuition (including room, board, and fees) for boarding-only students in grades 9 through 12 for the 2012-2013 school year. Source: St. Albans School

http://www.businessinsider.com/mostexpensive-boarding-schools-2012-2012-10?op=1

Basically, these expensive universities/ colleges are private schools that are attached with expensive tags. Here is the list of the top ten most expensive universities in the world. Sarah Lawrence College In 2010, this college was the second most expensive university in the globe but with an annual cost of $53,150, it is now the most expensive university in the world. The amount mentioned above includes a $1870 cost of insurance but excludes the cost of miscellaneous and travel expenses. George Washington University A student in George Washington University pays an annual fee of about $53,000 which included the cost for books, tuition, boarding, rooming and other necessary expenses. George Washington University is considered as one of the most generous colleges in terms of nancial aid with students receiving an average aid of $22,500. Kenyon College If you are just taking into account tuition and fees, then Kenyon College tops the list with an estimated tuition fee of USD 46,830. But it helps out students in the fact that as many as seventy percent of the students who attend Kenyon receive some or the other form of nancial aid and twenty four percent of the students at the college are on academic scholarships.

Vassar College Vassar is the university for the elites and rich which offers an annual fee of $49,250. Vassar claims that you dont have to be rich in order to attend the college because it grants its students with nancial aids and meets the appropriate aid for its students. Bucknell University Bucknell University charged its students with $48,380 annual fee which include room and boarding expenses but excludes travel, book and personal expenses. According to the university, 62% of its students are receiving nancial aid and average aid package amounts to $25,000. It claims that compared to other universities, it has lower hike rate. Carnegie Mellon University Considered as one of the top universities for research, Carnegie Mellon University is one of the most expensive universities in the world. It offers an annual tuition fee of $40,000. It allows students to take advantage of payment plans which enable them to pay their tuition fee over a tenmonth period with zero percent interest. Colgate University Located in New York, Colgate University is a liberal art college which requires its students to pay an annual tuition fee of $39,545. Students are required to stay in the campus on their rst year thereby

charging them an extra $9625 for board and rooming. The university also offers grand funding and aid package to its students. Columbia University The tuition fee in Columbia University may not be as expensive as what the other universities have offered but the standard of living in Columbia is quite higher. A student in Columbia University normally pays an amount of $51,886. Students receive an average aid of about $30,000. St. Johns College St. Johns College is hailed as one of the most expensive universities in the world which charges its students with a total fee of $49,513 including tuition fees, books, personal expenses and boarding fee. The university offers an average aid package amounting to $26,000 annually and as high as 65% of the students are enjoying this privilege. Wesleyan University Each student from Wesleyan University pays an annual tuition fee amounting to $38,900 with a residential fee of around $11,000. It also offers a payment plan to its students with 0-interest repayment for a period of ten months. http://www.therichest.org/most-expensive/ universities-in-the-world/

So what drives European companies to be more-sustainably minded? One could point to cultural values and the legacy of consumer activism that pushes companies to act as corporate citizens. A more probable explanation is its tighter regulatory environment. Sustainability strategies are often triggered by the need for compliance with environmental policies, with climate change regulations among the most noteworthy. Ambitious targets by the European Union have been set for 2020 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent to 30 percent below 1990 levels, to reduce energy consumption by 20 percent, and to increase the use of renewables. In turn, companies operating in this region, especially in the extractive sectors, have implemented rigorous internal targets and deadlines to comply with these standards. Meanwhile, in North America, the Clean Energy and Security Act was approved in June 2009 but never made it through the Senate. Regulatory support for sustainability is lacking and companies tend to be divided on emerging regulatory changes. Yet the sustainability trend appears to be moving in the right direction. In 2010 a decision was reached by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue denitive guidance to companies on disclosing climate change risks to investors.

This represents a strong incentive for environmental transparency, though company uptake to date has been somewhat underwhelming.

The 2000s Bear Stearns Companies Inc.: Bear Stearns ranks as one of the largest global investment banks, securities-trading and brokerage rms in the world. Nearly bankrupt last month, the company sold itself to JPMorgan Chase for $2 a share, or $240 million, bolstered by the Federal Reserves guarantee of $30 billion worth of Bear Stearns loans. The government bailout is alleged to have avoided a domino effect of similar failures in the nancial world. Swissair: The Swiss government owned 30 percent of the stock of this former national airline of Switzerland and major international airline. In the1990s, Swissair implemented a major expansion program called the Hunter Strategy. The spending resulted in a nancial crisis for parent company SAirGroup, which was hurt by the September 11 attacks. The entire Swissair eet was grounded in October 2001. Crossair and liquidation rm Jrg Hoss later acquired the companys assets. Swissair ofcially dismantled in March 2002. WorldCom/MCI Inc.: The U.S.s second-largest long-distance phone company at the time, WorldCom/MCI led the largest Chapter 11 bankruptcy in American history in July 2002. The company used fraudulent accounting methods, namely underreporting expenses and inating revenues with bogus accounting entries, to hide its declining

nancial condition between 1999 and 2002. An internal audit uncovered approximately $3.8 billion in fraud in June 2002, and in 2003, it was estimated that the company's total assets had been inated by around $11 billion. Verizon Communications purchased the enterprise in January of 2006 and renamed it the Verizon Business division. Tyco Ltd.: Tyco International, a diversied manufacturing conglomerate incorporated in Bermuda, with U.S. operational headquarters in New Jersey, dealt with electronic components, health care, re safety, security and uid control through mid-2007. Dennis Kozlowski, former Chairman and CEO, and Mark H. Swartz, former CFO, were charged with more than 30 counts related to the theft of $600 million from the company in 2004. After a retrial in June 2005, Kozlowski and Swartz were found guilty on all but one count and will carry jail terms of up to 25 years. Parmalat: This Italian company presided as the leading global producer of UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk and also made food until its downfall. Accusations of nancial wrongdoing befell founder Calisto Tanzi in 2003 when a 14 billion hole was discovered in Parmalat's accounting records, leading to one of the biggest corporate scandals in history. The companys questionable accounting practices included selling itself credit-linked notes. Tanzi was jailed and reportedly admitted that he had diverted

funds from Parmalat into Parmatour, its travel unit, and elsewhere. The company, however, didn't fully implode and continues its operations today. BANINTER (Banco Intercontinental): BANINTER was the second-largest privatelyheld commercial bank in the Dominican Republic before its 2003 demise resulting from fraud and political corruption. Fraudulent bookkeeping and political inuence had apparently lasted for many years and through the administrations of all major Dominican political parties. The bungling of the situation by former President Hiplito Mejas administration helped send the Dominican economy into a steep decline. The $2.2 billion decit resulting from the scandal was equal to 12 to 15 percent of the Dominican national GDP (gross domestic product). Arthur Andersen: One of the world's top ve accounting rms prior to the Enron Corp. scandal, the Chicago-based company voluntarily surrendered its licenses to practice as CPAs (certied public accountants) in the U.S. pending the result of prosecution by the Department of Justice, resulting in the loss of 85,000 jobs and a corporate rebranding.

Adelphia Communications Corp.: Pennsylvania-based Adelphia Communications ranked as the fth largest cable company in the country before internal corruption and a $2.3 billion debt led to its 2002 bankruptcy. The Adelphia founders were charged with securities violations. Five ofcers were indicted and two, John and Timothy Rigas, were sentenced to 15 years and 20 years in prison, respectively. The Rigases secured $100 million for themselves through a complicated cashmanagement system that spread money around to various family-owned entities. Time Warner Cable was allowed to distribute approximately $6 billion in shares to Adelphia stakeholders and succeed the company as a publicly traded corporation in February 2007. Global Crossing Ltd.: In terms of assets, this computer-networking services companys bankruptcy was the seventh largest ling in American history. Its ling listed total assets of $22.4 billion and debts amounting to $12.4 billion, amassed largely by gross corporate and executive spending. Four of Global Crossing's CEOs received at least $23 million in personal, ultimately forgiven, loans from the company. The organization, however, is additional proof that an incredible implosion is not necessarily the end of the business road. Since 2004, it has been able to improve margins and take steps toward gaining cash ow. In late 2006, the company announced acquisitions of

FiberNet, a U.K. provider of privatenetwork services, and Impsat, a South American Internet provider. Enron Corp.: In 2001, this Houston-based energy company toppled into a spectacular bankruptcy resulting from painstakingly planned accounting fraud orchestrated by its accounting rm, Arthur Andersen. Much of the businesss prots and revenue spawned from limited partnerships and were not reported in its nancial statements. Once considered a blue-chip stock, Enron shares dropped from over $90 to less than $0.50, which spelled disaster in the nancial world. HIH Insurance: Australias second-largest insurance company entered into provisional liquidation in 2001 with losses totaling $5.3 billion. Its corporate downfall is considered the largest in Australia's history. In 2005, former HIH director Rodney Adler was sentenced to four and a half years jail after pleading guilty to criminal charges including obtaining money by false or misleading statements and failing to discharge his duties as a director in good faith and in the best interests of the company. HIH insurance is now in runoff, which means it is managing its outstanding claims and not writing any new business, which could take as long as a decade to complete.

Montgomery Ward: This clothing companys 2000 liquidation was, at the time, the largest retail bankruptcy in U.S. history. Its end came after lower-than-expected sales during the Christmas season, which resulted in closing of 250 retail outlets and layoffs of 37,000 employees. TWA: From 1930 to 2001, TWA (Trans World Airlines) ew the friendly skies as a major U.S.-based airline. It encountered bankruptcy in 1992 and 1995, but got back on its feet for a short time in 1998 after it reorganized as a primarily domestic carrier. But the move proved to be a BandAid approach, and the company was acquired by American Airlines three years later. TWA planes also were involved in several accidents and terrorist acts throughout the 60's, 70s, 80s and 90s. The last major incident occurred on July 17, 1996, when TWA Flight 800 exploded over the Atlantic Ocean near Long Island, killing all aboard. Urban Bank: One of the largest banks in the Philippines before PDIC (Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp.) closed it on the basis of illiquidity in 2000, Urban Bank merged with Export and Industry Bank in 2001. Dont let the liquidation grounds fool you, though. Urbans ofcers were later criminally charged with economic sabotage related to the company submitting falsied SES (supervision and examination sector) reports to the Monetary Board.

3dfx Interactive Inc.: 3dfx Interactive manufactured cutting-edge 3-D graphics processing units and graphics cards and held court in the industry throughout the 1990s. In late 2000, it fell victim to one of most high-prole demises in the history of the PC industry when its rival company, Nvidia Corporation, acquired 3dfxs intellectual assets and many employees. The once enormously inuential enterprise led for bankruptcy on October 15, 2002. 1990s LTCM (Long-Term Capital Management): A hedge fund founded in 1994 by John Meriwether, the former vice chairman and head of bond trading at Salomon Brothers, LTCM met success with annualized returns of over 40 percent in its rst years. But in 1998, it made many regret taking risks on the hedge-fund industry after losing $4.6 billion in less than four months. The fund folded in early 2000. Bre-X: This junior Canadian mining company bought a purported gold-deposit site at Busang, Indonesia in March 1993 and in October 1995 announced the discovery of a veritable treasure chest. Initially a penny stock, Bre-X's stock price soared to CAD $286.50 on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) with a total capitalization of over CAD $6 billion. Bre-X's gold resource at Busang was actually found to be the most elaborate mining scandal of all time, which lead to an equally colossal stock scandal. Workers

had falsied crushed core samples by salting with placer or supergene gold constitutes. Bre-X fell down the mine shaft in 1997 after its shares became worthless. Barings Bank: The bookkeepers at Londons Barings Bank, the oldest merchant bank in the City of London, the Queen's personal bank and the nancier of the Napoleonic Wars, wrote the book on accounting fraud. Over a period of three years, Singaporebased management employee Nick Leeson squandered 827 million, the equivalent of $1.4 billion, on futures contract speculation, masked by manipulated records. In February 1995, the losses came to light, and Barings Bank defaulted on its accounts. The scandal became a turning point in the history of banking, resulting in more oversight of accounting practices. After eeing, Nick Leeson was later arrested in Germany and extradited back to Singapore, where he was convicted of fraud and sentenced to six and a half years in prison. Barings Bank does not exist on its own corporately, but Barings endures as the MassMutual subsidiary Baring Asset Management. BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International): BCCI became the world's worst nancial scandal in 1991 in when at least $13 billion was found to be unaccounted for in their records. U.S. and U.K. regulators discovered money laundering, bribery, support of terrorism,

arms trafcking, the sale of nuclear technologies, the commission and facilitation of tax evasion, smuggling, illegal immigration and the illicit purchases of banks and real estate. MiniScribe: This former Colorado-based manufacturer of disk storage products designed and sold stepper motor-based hard disks with generous supplies of onboard intelligence before dabbling in voice coil motor designs. Its 1990 bankruptcy was spurred by one of the rst major accounting scandals in the computer industry, which involved losing a supply contract with IBM Corp.'s PC division in 1985 followed by the falsication of sales records for several years. Maxtor later acquired the company. The Pyramid Building Society: Part of the Farrow Group of building societies, based in Geelong, Australia, along with the Geelong Building Society and the Countrywide Building Society, the Pyramid Building Society disintegrated in 1990 under a mountain of a $2 billion debt. Victoria taxpayers reportedly lost more than $900 million, which led to a ve-year fuel levy of $.03 per litre to recover funds. 1980s

Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc.: In the 1980s, this major Wall Street investment banking rm rose to the top as the fth-largest investment bank in the country and then toppled to the bottom by engaging in illegal activities. Drexel employee Michael Milken dabbled in junk bond market fraud and later pleaded no contest to six felonies three counts of stock parking and three counts of stock manipulation and agreed to pay a ne of $650 million, which was the largest ne ever levied under the Great Depression-era securities laws at the time. Crazy Eddie: The Northeastern U.S. consumer electronics chain Crazy Eddie operated 43 stores in four states and brought in more than $300 million in sales. But the company came under some crazy heat in 1987 after the New Jersey district attorneys ofce initiated a federal grandjury investigation into the nancial activities. Certain Crazy Eddie ofcers and employees were suspected of violating federal securities laws. In December 1986, cofounder Eddie Antar gave himself a Christmas present of millions of dollars worth of stock and resigned from the company. The companys board of directors approved its sale in November 1987, but the new owners were unable to recover funds from the fraud, declared bankruptcy and ended business in 1989. Antar was eventually charged with a series of crimes. After escaping to Israel in February 1990, he was extradited back to the U.S. where he stood

trial for fraud. Though his conviction was overturned in 1993, Antar pleaded guilty in 1996. He served two years in prison. ZZZZ Best: ZZZZ Best was a carpet-cleaning company lead by ex-convict turned religious leader Barry Minkow. It became ZZZZ worst after its 1987 collapse, which cost investors an estimated $100 million. Minkow was convicted of fraud and several other offenses related to his ventures demise and served seven years of a 25-year prison sentence. In the slammer, Minkow found God and now serves as senior pastor of the Community Bible Church in San Diego. He turned his devious past into a divine calling by also becoming an expert on fraud, which he speaks about to college students and business professionals across the country. First Jersey Securities: Penny-stock brokerage rm First Jersey Securities specialized in promoting pump and dump penny stocks to unsuspecting investors who lost their savings after the stocks crashed. Company owner Robert E. Brennan became a target of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), and his rm went belly-up in 1987. Brennan was found guilty of securities fraud in 1994 and was ordered to pay $75 million. Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company: At one time the seventhlargest bank in the U.S. in terms of deposits, the company became insolvent in 1984 in part because of the bad loans it purchased

from crippled Penn Square Bank N.A., which to this day ranks as one of the FDIC's (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.) "most difcult and most colorful bank resolutions," according to that agency's reports. John Lytle, an executive in charge of oil lending, later pled guilty to one count of fraud for scamming Continental of $2.25 million and stealing $585,000 in kickbacks for approving risky loan applications. Lytle was sentenced to three and a half years in a federal prison. Laker Airways: This independent British airline was a pioneering one. It made global aviation history when it became the world's rst long-haul, low-cost and "no frills" airline following the implementation of the rst-ever low-fare Skytrain service between London and New York in 1977. Laker Airways went bankrupt in February 1982, mostly because it lacked monetary muscle to survive the recession of the early 1980s and competition from bigger airlines. 1970s United Fruit Company: This major American corporation traded tropical fruit grown in developing countries and sold in the U.S. and Europe. The United Fruit Company allegedly partook in several questionable activities, including bribing government ofcials and exploiting its workers. Workers in Central and South America went on strike several times, most notably during the Banana Massacre of 1928, in

which dozens died after Colombian Army troops opened re. In 1970, United merged with AMK to become the United Brands Company. In 1984, United Brands was changed to the well-known Chiquita Brands International. Franklin National Bank: This Long Island, NY bank was once the countrys 20th largest. Its October 1974 demise was at the time the largest bank failure in the history of the country. Michele Sindona, an Italian banker involved with the Maa, a fake Freemasonic lodge called P2 and the Nixon administration allegedly mismanaged funds and committed fraud involving losses in foreign-currency speculation and poor loan policies. Several bank ofcers were convicted of falsifying nancial records, and Sindona was extradited to Italy, where he died of cyanide poisoning while serving a life sentence. European American Bank, which was later acquired by Citigroup, bought Franklin's assets. Penn Central Transportation Co.: This Philadelphia-headquartered railroad company went for broke in 1970 after only two years of business. It was the largest corporate bankruptcy in American history up until that time. Its breakdown ended long-haul private-sector passenger train service in the U.S. which trickled down to other railroads. After Amtraks creation in 1971, a skeleton service operated on the tracks of Penn Central and other U.S.

railroads. Penn Central continued to operate freight service under bankruptcycourt protection, but when the company failed to be resurrected by the private sector, Congress folded it and ve other northeastern railroads into an entity called Conrail (Consolidated Railroad Corp.). The holding company, the Penn Central Company, continued through the 1970s and 1980s as a separate, small conglomerate largely comprised of the diversied subrms acquired by the old Penn Central before their bankruptcy. It changed its name to American Premier Underwriters Inc. in March 1994 and joined up with American Financial Group Inc. That company still owns Grand Central Terminal, which is leased by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. 1950s IG Farben: IG was a collection and monopoly of dye and chemical companies in Germany. During World War II and the Nazi regime, it used slave labor and manufactured Zyklon B, a poison used in the gas chambers at concentration camps Auschwitz and Majdanek. In 1951, the Allied Forces split up the original main companies of IG, three of which remain today. The company was ofcially liquidated in 1952, but continued to be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as a trust until November 2003. It had contributed 500,000 DM (160,000 or 255,646) towards a

foundation for former captive laborers under the Nazi regime. Pre-20th Century Overend, Gurney and Company: Overend, Gurney and Company was a London wholesale discount bank that fell to pieces in 1866 owing about 11 million pounds (828 million at 2003 prices). It collapsed in 1866 and bank ofcials were charged with fraud. After one of the partner s, Samuel Gurney, retirement the bank took on substantial investments in railways and other long term investments, which lead to liabilities of around 4 million and liquid assets of only 1 million. To catch up, the business was incorporated as a limited company in July 1865 and sold its 15 shares at a 9 premium. It still couldnt make ends meet, however, and looked to the Bank of England for a bailout. They were refused, and panic ensued among its bank members. The bank rate subsequently rose to 10 percent for three months, and more than 200 companies, including other banks, broke down. Bank ofcials were charged with fraud based on false statements in the prospectus for the 1865 offering of shares, but later acquitted. The South Sea Company: In the early 1700s and 1850s, this English company secured a monopoly under a treaty with Spain to trade with South America. It grew by trading debt for equity. Its obtaining of a charter in mid-1720 buoyed share prices, a

peak that encouraged people to start to sell. The South Sea Companys directors ordered their agents to buy, which raised the price to about 750 around June. It climbed to 1,000 in early August, but the level of selling started driving the price down to as little as 100 per share at year s end. Investors who had bought shares on credit plunged into bankruptcy and the stock reached full ruin. A subsequent Parliament investigation a year later uncovered fraud among company directors. First Lord of the Treasury Robert Walpole then introduced a series of measures to restore public faith. Surprisingly, South Sea stayed in business until the end of the Seven Years' War, but dealt mainly in managing government debt, rather than trading with the Spanish colonies, until the 1850s.

Of Microbes and Mock Attacks 51 Years Ago, The Military Sprayed Germs on U.S. Cities By Jim Carlton Wall Street Journal 10-26-1 SAN FRANCISCO - Fifty-one years ago, Edward J. Nevin checked into a San Francisco hospital, complaining of chills, fever and general malaise. Three weeks later, the 75year-old retired pipe tter was dead, the victim of what doctors said was an infection of the bacterium Serratia marcescens. Decades later, Mr. Nevin's family learned what they believe was the cause of the infection, linked at the time to the hospitalizations of 10 other patients. In Senate subcommittee hearings in 1977, the U.S. Army revealed that weeks before Mr. Nevin sickened and died, the Army had staged a mock biological attack on San Francisco, secretly spraying the city with Serratia and other agents thought to be harmless. The goal: to see what might happen in a real germ-warfare attack. The experiment, which involved blasting a bacterial fog over the entire 49-square-mile city from a Navy vessel offshore, was recorded with clinical nonchalance: "It was noted that a successful BW [biological warfare] attack on this area can be launched from the sea, and that effective dosages can be produced

over relatively large areas," the Army wrote in its 1951 classied report on the experiment. Now, with anthrax in the mail and fear mounting of further biological attacks, researchers are again looking back at the only other time this country faced the perils of germ warfare - albeit selfinicted. In fact, much of what the Pentagon knows about the effects of bacterial attacks on cities came from those secret tests conducted on San Francisco and other American cities from the 1940s through the 1960s, experts say. "We learned a lot about how vulnerable we are to biological attack from those tests," says Leonard Cole, adjunct professor of political science at Rutgers University in New Jersey and author of several books on bioterrorism. "I'm sure that's one reason crop dusters were grounded after Sept. 11: The military knows how easy it is to disperse organisms that can affect people over huge areas." In other tests in the 1950s, Army researchers dispersed Serratia on Panama City, Fla., and Key West, Fla., with no known illnesses resulting. They also released uorescent compounds over Minnesota and other Midwestern states to see how far they would spread in the atmosphere. The particles of zinc-cadmium-sulde - now a known cancer-causing agent - were

detected more than 1,000 miles away in New York state, the Army told the Senate hearings, though no illnesses were ever attributed to them as a result. Another bacterium, Bacillus globigii, never shown to be harmful to people, was released in San Francisco, while still others were tested on unwitting residents in New York, Washington, D.C., and along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, among other places, according to Army reports released during the 1977 hearings. In New York, military researchers in 1966 spread Bacillus subtilis variant Niger, also believed to be harmless, in the subway system by dropping lightbulbs lled with the bacteria onto tracks in stations in midtown Manhattan. The bacteria were carried for miles throughout the subway system, leading Army ofcials to conclude in a January 1968 report: "Similar covert attacks with a pathogenic [disease-causing] agent during peak trafc periods could be expected to expose large numbers of people to infection and subsequent illness or death." Army ofcials also found widespread dispersal of bacteria in a May 1965 secret release of Bacillus globigii at Washington's National Airport and its Greyhound bus terminal, according to military reports released a few years after the Senate hearings. More than 130 passengers who had been exposed to the bacteria traveling to 39

cities in seven states in the two weeks following the mock attack. The Army kept the biological-warfare tests secret until word of them was leaked to the press in the 1970s. Between 1949 and 1969, when President Nixon ordered the Pentagon's biological weapons destroyed, open-air tests of biological agents were conducted 239 times, according to the Army's testimony in 1977 before the Senate's subcommittee on health. In 80 of those experiments, the Army said it used live bacteria that its researchers at the time thought were harmless, such as the Serratia that was showered on San Francisco. In the others, it used inert chemicals to simulate bacteria. Several medical experts have since claimed that an untold number of people may have gotten sick as a result of the germ tests. These researchers say even benign agents can mutate into unpredictable pathogens once exposed to the elements. "The possibility cannot be ruled out that peculiarities in wind conditions or ventilation systems in buildings might concentrate organisms, exposing people to high doses of bacteria," testied Stephen Weitzman of the State University of New York, in the 1977 Senate hearings. For its part, the Army justied its experiments by noting concerns during World War II that U.S. cities might come

under biological attack. To prepare a response, the Army said, it had to test microbes on populated areas to learn how bacteria disperse. "Release in and near cities, in real-world circumstances, were considered essential to the program, because the effect of a builtup area on a biological agent cloud was unknown," Edward A. Miller, the Army's secretary for research and development at the time, told the subcommittee. But in at least one case - the bacterial fogging of San Francisco - the research may have gone awry. Between Sept. 20 and Sept. 27 of 1950, a Navy mine-laying vessel cruised the San Francisco coast, spraying an aerosol cocktail of Serratia and Bacillus microbes all believed to be safe - over the famously foggy city from giant hoses on deck, according to declassied Army reports. According to lawyers who have reviewed the reports, researchers added uorescent particles of zinc-cadmium-sulde to better measure the impact. Based on results from monitoring equipment at 43 locations around the city, the Army determined that San Francisco had received enough of a dose for nearly all of the city's 800,000 residents to inhale at least 5,000 of the particles. Two weeks after the spraying, on Oct. 11, 1950, Mr. Nevin checked in to the Stanford Hospital in San Francisco with fever and other symptoms. Ten other men and women

checked in to the same hospital - which has since been relocated to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. - with similar complaints. Doctors noticed that all 11 had the same malady: a pneumonia caused by exposure to bacteria believed to be Serratia marcescens. Mr. Nevin died three weeks later. The others recovered. Doctors were so surprised by the outbreak that they reported it in a medical journal, oblivious at the time to the secret germ test. After the Army disclosed the tests nearly three decades later, Mr. Nevin's surviving family members led suit against the federal government, alleging negligence. "My grandfather wouldn't have died except for that, and it left my grandmother to go broke trying to pay his medical bills," says Mr. Nevin's grandson, Edward J. Nevin III, a San Francisco attorney who led the case in U.S. District Court here. Army ofcials noted the pneumonia outbreak in their 1977 Senate testimony but said any link to their experiments was totally coincidental. No other hospitals reported similar outbreaks, the Army pointed out, and all 11 victims had urinarytract infections following medical procedures, suggesting that the source of their infections lay inside the hospital. The Nevin family appealed the suit all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to overturn lower court

judgments upholding the government's immunity from lawsuits. Today, the U.S. military is again patrolling San Francisco's coastline, guarding against someone who might try to copy the Army tests of half a century ago. Local ofcials say such an attack is unlikely, given the logistical problems of blasting the city without Navy ships. Partly as a result of Mr. Nevin's death, says Lucien Canton, director of San Francisco's emergency services, "one thing we now know is that it takes an awful lot of stuff to produce casualties, especially in a place like San Francisco that always has a stiff breeze."

Stratospheric Welsbach seeding for reduction of global warming Abstract A method is described for reducing atmospheric or global warming resulting from the presence of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, i.e., from the greenhouse effect. Such gases are relatively transparent to sunshine, but absorb strongly the long-wavelength infrared radiation released by the earth. The method incudes the step of seeding the layer of heattrapping gases in the atmosphere with particles of materials characterized by wavelength-dependent emissivity. Such materials include Welsbach materials and the oxides of metals which have high emissivity (and thus low reectivities) in the visible and 8-12 micron infrared wavelength regions.

June 5, 2012 How Geoengineering And The Aerosol Spraying Of Our Skies Is Destroying Our Health For decades, governments and scientists worldwide have been denying the existence of discreet operations which (for various reasons) use military aircrafts to spray our skies with chemical toxins. Such operations have often been dismissed as conspiracy theories, or in many cases a misinterpretation of condensation trails (contrails). Governments are now nally admitting that geoengineering is a reality and have stated that despite any detrimental affects to our health, will continue these operations indenitely.

The Famous Bernie Cornfeld Bernard Cornfeld's ponzi scheme (Investors Oversea Services) started out by selling stock to GIs in Europe, and eventually the general public. He stole $2.5 billion and spent a total of 11 months in a Geneva prison. 5 Bernard Cornfeld was born in Turkey. His father was a Romanian-Jewish actor; his mother was from a Russian-Jewish family. He lived like a Sultan with ve mansions, sleeping with 12 young blonde gentiles. Barry Minkow He starts a carpet cleaning business, fakes the contracts, takes it public, and scams at least $200 million. He spent seven years in a Country Club prison, and after release converted from Judaism to a Christian preacher. His opulent lifestyle included mansions and a bevy of gentile women. 9 Ivan Boesky Boesky worked with Denis Levine, the takeover manager at Drexel Lambert, who provided him with inside information. He amazed a fortune of over US$200 million by betting on corporate takeovers. The case was quickly resolved because of the vast network of Jewish people involved, and the resulting destruction of condence in Wall Street. 6

Martin Frankel Frankel bought up insurance companies, and then transferred an estimated $3 billion to Israel. He claimed he was a philanthropist, but people doubted that because of his 12 limos and a California mansion with wall to wall blondes. He sits in Big Springs, a federal country club prison. 4 Michael Milken Milken was indicted on 98 counts of racketeering and securities fraud in 1989 as the result of an insider trading investigation. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, but was released after less than two years. Milken promised to pay some $60 million out of his $2.2 billion net worth. 4 Dennis Kozlowski Kozlowski was convicted of grabbing $560 million from Tyco. He started as a Jewish accountant and ended up throwing million dollar parties in Sardinia, where 'Male Models' entertained his friends. 4 Bernie Madoff Bernie Madoff scammed at least $65 billion of retiree's funds, and banks. The money sits in Israeli banks, and Bernie was sentenced to

150 years. Most speculate that Bernie will suffer a heart attack, and a closed cofn, similar to Irv Rubin. 8 Eli M. Black Eli Black (nee Elihu Menashe Blachowitz) was a Jewish-American businessman who controlled the United Brands Company/ Chiquita Brands International. When the government closed in the Rabbi took a leap off a 44 story building. There was a closed casket, and most say Eli is in Israel.8 Conrad Black Black, an heir to a Canadian brewing empire, became a media magnate, who bought up newspapers. He was caught embezzling. At its peak in 1999, he had major holdings in about 400 newspapers around the world, including the Chicago Sun-Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Jerusalem Post. Black is in a country club prison, and his wife 'Baroness Estelle Amiel' was never tried. Tom Billman Billman looted his Savings and Loan for $390 million, and hid it in Israeli banks. As the feds closed in Billman ed the country, after a 4 yr manhunt he was caught in Paris. He was sent to a Country Club prison, and has since been quietly released. 7

Marc Rich Rich (nee Reich) was a commodity trader who was arrested and then pardoned by Bill Clinton 5.

This Is Just A Partial List These are just some of the ones caught. The real scams are the New York stock market, where Zionists have grabbed over $5 trillion in retiree's wealth. The next scam is the banks where trillions have been lost in friendly loans, and real estate transactions. The end result will be an economic implosion. The only solution will be bankrupting America, dissolving the currency, and redistributing the wealth similar to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The difference being, the Bolsheviks will be the ones sent to the gulags this time.

The amount of bank notes in circulation had increased 186% in one year due to the rampant issuance of notes to fund share purchases. As a result, a powerful inationary episode ensued in which the price of goods doubled between July 1719 and December 1720. Much of the Mississippi Companys share price gains were due to ination as well, rather than from pure investor demand (Smant). As more Banque Generale notes were issued without a corresponding increase in the banks precious metals holdings, the majority of notes were no longer backed by precious metals, essentially rendering them worthless. A scandal struck in May 1720 when John Law decided that Company stock prices were overvalued, causing him to devalue its shares. John Law also devalued Banque Generale notes by 50%. Intense protest resulted in a compromise in which the bank notes value was restored but payment in precious metals was stopped. The public was outraged against the Company and the Banques near-worthless paper money. Under intense selling pressure and Laws devaluation, shares had collapsed from 10,000 livres per share to 1,000 by December 1720. At the end of 1720, John Laws enemies conscated two-thirds of shares, giving them control of the company. Share prices further deated to 500 livres by 1721 (Moen). Investors were nancially devastated and

many former millionaires lost their entire fortunes. The collapse of the Mississippi Company plunged France and neighboring European countries into an economic depression, which layed the groundwork for the French Revolution that occurred later in the century. John Law was viewed as a scamartist and was exiled from France. Law returned to his gambling roots in mainland Europe and died in poverty.

100 tons of cocaine ingredients each year let's do the math Approximately 100 metric tons of coca leaves are imported to the Stepan Company each year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Stepan_Company) under "special permission" from the DEA. Keep all this in mind when you consider the total fraud of the current "War on Drugs" and how young African American men are given ten-year prison sentences for pot possession while one of the largest corporations in America is actually importing leaves that are used to manufacture cocaine. Once the coca leaves are imported into the USA under these special permissions from the DEA, the cocaine is extracted out of the coca leaves. Coca-Cola doesn't use the cocaine, you see. There is no cocaine in Coca-Cola today. This brings up an obvious question: Where does all the white powder cocaine go if not to Coca-Cola? It turns out that this cocaine is sold to a St. Louis company called Mallinckrodt Incorporated. Mallinckrodt receives not only all the cocaine from the Coca-Cola imports, but also imports opium from India (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallinckrodt). In addition, this company also buys THC extracted from marijuana grown in the United States. So much for the War on Drugs, huh? It turns out if you buddy up to

the DEA and federal regulators, you can make all the cocaine you want while buying opium and marijuana by the ton -- as long as you're a powerful corporation with ties to Coca-Cola and other wealthy organizations.

We talk about races all the time, I am just wondering do we have some sort of grip as to what constitutes a race? First on a very broad sense, from the looks of the people, I am just counting. You guys can correct me if I mix up a race with something else 1. Blacks: They must be a separate race. Mostly found in Africa. 2. Chinese: By the shape of their eyes and bone structure they seem a separate race. 3. Polynesian: Island people have heavy set bones and distint facial structures. Mostly in pacic islands. Maybe they have the same gene pool as aboriginal people of America and Australia 4. Caucasians: Light skin, light hair, colored eyes. Maybe they are the same people as Aariyans, who came from central asia to conquer India. 5. Indian aboriginals: The people in south india, short statured, dark skinned. They were the ones conquered by aariyans. Arabs and others: From the facial structure they seem like caucasians, and then some cross-bred with other races to come up with different styles. Pathans, for example, have heavy-set bones but fair complexion like caucasians. I don't know if

these should be considered separate races or what. Many races are now present due to crossbreed, but I am trying to which are the original races of mankind.

Most anthropologists recognize 3 or 4 basic races of man in existence today. These races can be further subdivided into as many as 30 subgroups. Ethnographic division into races from Meyers Konversationslexikon of 1885-90 is listing: * Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites) * Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian), * Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, Negrito, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese) Caucasion: Skull: Dolicephalic(Long-Head),High forehead,Little supraobital development. Face: Mainly Leptoproscopic( Narrow)Sometimes Meso- or even Euryproscopic, Neither Facial nor alveolar prognathism occurs except among some archaic peoples. Nose:Long,narrow,high in both root and bridge.

Mongoloid: Skull: High incidence of Brachycephaly(Short Round Head) American Indians while Mongoloid are often Dolicephalic. Foreheads slightly lower than that of the Caucasoid. No Supraobital development. Face: Wide and short, projecting cheek bones, Prognathism rare. Shovel shaped incisors common especialy in Asia. Nose: Mesorine(Low and Broad in both root and bridge. Negroid: Skull: usually Dolicephalic, a small minority are Brachycephalic. Forehead most often high, little supraobital development. Face: Leproscopic (to a much lesser degree than the Caucasion), Prognathism common in most Negro populations. Nose: Low & broad in root and bridge with characteristic depression at root.

The Five Human Races, Ethiopian. American. Caucasian. Mongolian. Esquimaux. The Black Or Negro Race The Negro, proper, inhabits all that part of Africa from Senegal along the coast of Guinea south of the Equator, to the 16th degree of latitude. Voluntarily the Negro never leaves this country, but, from being carried into involuntary servitude, millions of this people are now to be found in America, the West Indies, and other parts of the world. Their most striking characteristics are the jetty blackness of skin, black, crisp, curly hair, low forehead, high cheek-bones, at, broad nose, broad and small chin, strong, white teeth. The skull is decient in all the higher intellectual manifestations. The Hottentots and Caffres of South Africa, though black, and generally classed with Negroes, differ from them on many points. The Negroes are often called Ethiopians. This is a mistake; the Ethiopians were the inhabitants of the Upper Nile and Abyssinia, and though a dark, were by no meaus a black race. The Negroes have no written language; the Arabic is generally used for all business purposes.

The Red Or Indian Race This race occupied the whole of the two Americas and the neighboring islands; although there were manifest differences in the people of the North and those of the South. The North American Indians are tall and straight, forehead low and broad, nose aquiline, eyes black and deeply set, full lips, skin a warm, coppery red, hair long, black, and straight. They show rather a lack of disposition than of ability to become procient in the arts of agriculture and manufacture. White Or Caucasian Race The Caucasian race occupies all of Europe, Western Asia, Australia, and the greater part of America. Skin varying from a pure white to a rich brown, hair all shades, from blonde to black, beard full, soft and owing, nose high and thin, lips medium. Surpass all other races in ability to comprehend and work out both mental and physical problems. This race is gradually but surely dominating the habitable part of the globe. Yellow, or Mongolian. - This race dwells principally in the East Indies, China, Japan, and the adjacent islands. In person they are usually small, slender, and remarkable for their agility and skillful manipulation; excelling in taste and execution, rather than invention. Skull

small and narrow, with rather at sides, forehead low and retreating, skin a yellowish tawny, eyes narrow and almondshaped, hair long, black, and straight, beard very scanty. The Samoids, Esquimaux, and Tartars. - These people are all supposed to have had a common origin, and their differences are attributed to local habitation or other accidental circumstances. They are short in stature, but sturdy, foreheads low, eyes narrow, nose at, hair black and straight. In many respects they closely resemble the Mongolian race. The Tartars show capacity for improvement, but the Esquimaux, owing to their painful struggle for mere existence, have little opportunity to exhibit their mental abilities. They are docile and kind.

Eex tha Vybe Scientist 04-18-02, 02:00 PM Race is a social construct. Ethnicities do exist, no doubt. but grouping hundreds of millions of humans into categories such as yellow,red,black,white and brown is illogical there is but one race, the human race.

http://www.sciforums.com/Do-DifferentHuman-Races-Exist-t-6925.html

Over time many different racial classications have existing numbering anywhere between 6 and several hundred. Below are a few of these. * Khoid (Hottentot) race * Sanid (Bushmen) race * Central Congoid race (Geographic center and origin in the Congo river basin) * Bambutid race (African Pygmies) * Aethiopid race (Ethiopia, Somalia) * Mediterranid race (from Mediterranean areas) * Dinaric race (predominant in western Balkans [Dinaric Mountains] and northern Italy) * Alpine race * Ladogan race (named after Lake Ladoga; indigenous to Russia; includes Lappish subrace of arctic Europe) * Nordish or Northern European race * Armenid race (Armenia, Syria, Lebanon and northern Iraq) * Turanid race (Kazakhstan, Hungary and Turkey)

* Irano-Afghan race (Iran and Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey) * Indic or Nordindid race (Pakistan and northern India) * Dravidic race (India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) * Veddoid race (remnant Australoid population in central and southern India) Melanesian race (New Guinea, Papua, Solomon Islands) * Australian-Tasmanian race (Australian Aborigines) * Northeast Asian or Northern Mogoloid race (China, Manchuria, Korea and Japan) * Southeast Asian or Southern Mongoloid race (China, Indochina, Thailand, Myanmar [Burma], Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines) * Micronesian-Polynesian race * Ainuid race (remnants of aboriginal population in northern Japan) * Tungid race (Mongolia and Siberia, Eskimos)

* Amerindian race (American Indians)

Mother of 7 Suffers Complications After Forced Sterilization in China

http://www.christianpost.com/news/motherof-7-suffers-complications-after-forcedsterilization-in-china-78959/

1849 Gordon Lincecum, a famed Texas biologist and physician, proposes a bill mandating the eugenic sterilization of the mentally handicapped and others whose genes he deems undesirable. Although the legislation is never sponsored or brought up for a vote, it represents the rst serious attempt in U.S. history to use forced sterilization for eugenic purposes. 1897 Michigan's state legislature becomes the rst in the country to pass a forced sterilization law, but it is vetoed by the governor. 1901 Legislators in Pennsylvania attempt to pass a eugenic forced sterilization law, but it stalls. 1907 Indiana becomes the rst state in the country to successfully pass a mandatory forced sterilization law, in this case impacting the "feebleminded" (mentally handicapped). 1909 California and Washington pass mandatory sterilization laws. 1922 Harry Hamilton Laughlin, director of the Eugenics Research Ofce, proposes a federal

mandatory sterilization law. Like Lincecum's proposal, it never really goes anywhere. 1927 In Buck v. Bell, the U.S. Supreme Court rules (8-1) that laws mandating the sterilization of the mentally handicapped do not violate the Constitution. Writing for the majority, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes makes an explicitly eugenic argument: It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unt from continuing their kind. 1936 Nazi propaganda defends Germany's forced sterilization program by citing the United States as an ally in the eugenic movement, and its laws as proof of its status as same. World War II, and the atrocities committed by the Nazi government, would rapidly change U.S. attitudes towards eugenics. 1942 In Skinner v. Oklahoma, the U.S. Supreme Court rules unanimously against an Oklahoma law targeting some felons for sterilization (the plaintiff, Jack Skinner, was a chicken thief) while excluding whitecollar criminals. The majority opinion, written by Justice William O. Douglas, rejects

the broad eugenic mandate previously outlined in Buck v. Bell (1927): [S]trict scrutiny of the classication which a State makes in a sterilization law is essential, lest unwittingly, or otherwise, invidious discriminations are made against groups or types of individuals in violation of the constitutional guaranty of just and equal laws. 1970 The Nixon administration dramatically increases Medicaid-funded sterilization of low-income Americans, primarily Americans of color. While these sterilizations are voluntary as a matter of policy, anecdotal evidence later suggests that they are often involuntary as a matter of practice as patients are often misinformed, or left uninformed, regarding the nature of the procedures that they have agreed to undergo. 1979 A survey conducted by Family Planning Perspectives nds that approximately 70% of American hospitals fail to adequately follow U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines regarding informed consent in cases of sterilization.

1981 Oregon performs the last legal forced sterilization in U.S. history.

THE YEAR WAS 1979 AND THE place was the state capitol in Sacramento, Calif. Assemblyman Art Torres, chairman of the Health Committee, introduced a bill to the legislature to repeal the states sterilization law. First passed in the same chambers 70 years earlier and modied several times over the decades, this statute had sanctioned over 20 000 nonconsensual sterilizations on patients in state-run homes and hospitals, or one third of the more than 60 000 such procedures in the United States in the 20th century.

Monday, 14 May 2012 04:59 U.S. & U.K. Taxpayers Funding Forced Sterilization in India Written by Alex Newman U.S. and British taxpayers are funding brutal forced sterilizations and a growing network of appalling camps in India through foreign-aid programs and even the World Bank, according to human rights activists and news reports.

A United Nations resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly specically designed to implement Agenda 21 reads: .population growth rates have been declining globally, largely as a result of expanded basic education and health care. That trend is projected to lead to a stable world population in the middle of the twenty-rst century The current decline in population growth rates must be further promoted through national and international policies that promote economic development, social development, environmental protection, and poverty eradication, particularly the further expansion of basic education, with full and equal access for girls and women, and health care, including reproductive health care, including both family planning and sexual health, consistent with the report of the International Conference on Population and Development. Likewise, the March 2009 U.N. Population Division Policy brief began with the statement, What would it take to accelerate fertility decline in the least developed countries?

Imagine going to sleep one night and waking up many years later in a totally different world. In this futuristic world, literally everything you do is tightly monitored and controlled by control freak bureaucrats in the name of "sustainable development" and with the goal of promoting "the green agenda". An international ruling body has centralized global control over all human activity. What you eat, what you drink, where you live, how warm or cold your home can be and how much fuel you can use is determined by them. Anyone that dissents or that tries to rebel against the system is sent off for "re-education". The human population is 90 percent lower than it is today in this futuristic society, and all remaining humans have been herded into tightly constricted cities which are run much like prisons. Does all of that sound good to you? Well, this is what Agenda 21 is all about.

London, England (CFAM/LifeNews) The British government gave $268 million to the government of India for a program that forcibly sterilizes poor women and men, according to the Guardian newspaper. This news comes as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation prepares to co-host a family planning summit with the British government in London this July.

CAPITALISM BELIEVES 1. Reality is Absolute Reality is that which exists. It is absolute. It is the standard of the true, the false, and the arbitrary. Things are what they are, independent of our or anyone else's feelings, ideas, wishes, desires, and emotions. Or, in the immortal words of Aristotle: A is A. To be, is to be something: nite, limited, and non-contradictory. 2. Reason is man's means of survival Reason is man's only means of knowing reality, upon which his survival in reality depends. Whether man is alone on a desert island, scurrying around with a pack of savages, or living in a city of billions: man must think -- and then act on his thinking, if life is his goal 3. The individual is sovereign Man is a rational animal, and reality dictates that to survive, man must be rational -- by choice.

Man is a being of free will. Man can choose to think, drift, or evade -- but choose he must. His thoughts determine: his character, his values, his emotions, and his actions, and so his thoughts determine his destiny. As reason is solely the attribute of an individual, and man's thinking determines his choices and actions, then each man is the master of his own destiny. The individual sovereign. 4. Man is an end in himself, and not a slave to the ends of 'society'. Man can gain immense values from living with other men in society -- namely knowledge and trade -- if it is a human society. A human society is one in which each man holds as an absolute: that every man is an end in himself, and that other men are not his pawns, nor is he theirs. Individualism is not opposed to man living in society. Individualism is opposed to man living in society as a slave. 5. To live in society man needs rights To live rationally in society, man requires only one thing from his fellow men: freedom of action. Freedom of action does not mean freedom to act by permission, which may be revoked at a dictator's, or a

democratic mob's, whim, but the freedom to act as an absolute -- by right. Man requires rights to those actions necessary to support his own life, the most fundamental right being the right to life, from which all other rights, including the right to liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness, derive. 6. Rights are moral principles... Rights are moral principles dening a man's freedom of action in a social context. Rights are inalienable -- they may not be morally infringed upon, i.e., a thief may rob you, but morally he is in the wrong, and you are in the right. Rights are not guarantees to things, but only guarantees to freedom of action (right to liberty) -- and a guarantee to the results of those actions (right to property). The only obligation one's rights impose on others is for them to leave you alone, i.e. free to act within your sphere of rights. 7. In a political context, freedom has only one meaning -- freedom from the initiation of force by other men.

Only by the initiation of force can a man be: prevented from speaking, or robbed of his possessions, or brutally murdered. Only by the initiation of force can a man's rights be violated. Only the initiation of force against a man can stop his mind, thus rendering it useless as a means of survival. http://www.bill-wink.com

International Institutions and Global Governance Program World Order in the 21st Century A New Initiative of the Council on Foreign Relations May 1, 2008 The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has launched a comprehensive ve-year program on international institutions and global governance.

Out of Californias 478 cities, 386 operate redevelopment agencies. No vote of the residents affected was required. No review by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) was done. (Only 21 of 58 counties have agencies, but these affect only shrinking unincorporated areas and constitute barely 4% of all redevelopment expenditures.) Californians often confuse redevelopment with federal urban renewal projects typical of large eastern cities of the 1940s-60s. Sadly, the methods and results are often similar. Yet redevelopment is a state-authorized layer of government without federal funds, rules or requirements. It is entirely within the power of the California legislature and voters to control, reform, amend or abolish.

Text of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Speech Published: October 30, 2005 This is a translation, by Nazila Fathi in The New York Times Tehran bureau, of the October 26 speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to an Islamic Student Associations conference on "The World Without Zionism." The conference was held in Tehran, at the Interior Ministry. The text of the speech was posted online, in Persian, by the Iranian Student News Agency (www.isnagency.com). Bracketed explanatory material is from Ms. Fathi. I thank God that I have had the opportunity to participate in the event today . We need to examine the true origins of the issue of Palestine: is it a ght between a group of Muslims and non-Jews? Is it a ght between Judaism and other religions? Is it the ght of one country with another country? Is it the ght of one country with the Arab world? Is it a ght over the land of Palestine? I guess the answer to all these questions is no. The establishment of the occupying regime of Qods [Jerusalem]was a major move by the world oppressor [ the United States] against the Islamic world. The situation has changed in this historical struggle. Sometimes the Muslims have won and moved

forward and the world oppressor was forced to withdraw. Unfortunately, the Islamic world has been withdrawing in the past 300 years. I do not want to examine the reasons for this, but only to review the history. The Islamic world lost its last defenses in the past 100 years and the world oppressor established the occupying regime. Therefore the struggle in Palestine today is the major front of the struggle of the Islamic world with the world oppressor and its fate will decide the destiny of the struggles of the past several hundred years. The Palestinian nation represents the Islamic nation [Umma] against a system of oppression, and thank God, the Palestinian nation adopted Islamic behavior in an Islamic environment in their struggle and so we have witnessed their progress and success. I need to thank you for choosing this valuable title for the conference. Many who are disappointed in the struggle between the Islamic world and the indels have tried to spread the blame. They say it is not possible to have a world without the United States and Zionism. But you know that this is a possible goal and slogan. Lets take a step back. We had a hostile regime in this country which was

undemocratic, armed to the teeth and, with SAVAK, its security apparatus of SAVAK [the intelligence bureau of the Shah of Irans government] watched everyone. An environment of terror existed. When our dear Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder the Iranian revolution] said that the regime must be removed, many of those who claimed to be politically wellinformed said it was not possible. All the corrupt governments were in support of the regime when Imam Khomeini started his movement. All the Western and Eastern countries supported the regime even after the massacre of September 7 [1978] and said the removal of the regime was not possible. But our people resisted and it is 27 years now that we have survived without a regime dependant on the United States. The tyranny of the East and the West over the world must should end, but weak people who can see only what lies in front of them cannot believe this. Who could believe that one day we could witness the collapse of the Eastern Empire? But we have seen its fall during our lives and it collapsed in such a way that we have to refer to libraries because no trace of it is left. Imam [Khomeini] said Saddam must go and he said he would grow weaker than anyone could imagine. Now you see the man who spoke with such arrogance ten years ago that one would have thought he was immortal, is being tried in his own country in handcuffs and shackles by those who he

believed supported him and with whose backing he committed his crimes. Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime [Israel] has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world. But we must be aware of tricks. For over 50 years the world oppressor tried to give legitimacy to the occupying regime and it has taken measures in this direction to stabilize it. About 27 or 28 years ago they took a major step and unfortunately one of the leading countries made a mistake which we hope will correct it.[an apparent reference to the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel]. Recently they [the Israelis] tried a new trick. They want to show the evacuation from the Gaza strip, which was imposed on them by Palestinians, as a nal victory for the Palestinians and end the issue of Palestine with the excuse of establishing a Palestinian

government next to themselves. Today, they want to involve Palestinians with mischief and trick them into ghting with one another over political positions so that they would drop the issue of Palestine. They want to convince some of the Islamic countries that, since they evacuated the Gaza strip with good intentions, the legitimacy of their corrupt regime should be recognized. I hope Palestinian groups and people are aware of this trick. The issue of Palestine is not over at all. It will be over the day a Palestinian government, which belongs to the Palestinian people, comes to power; the day that all refugees return to their homes; a democratic government elected by the people comes to power. Of course those who have come from far away to plunder this land have no right to choose for this nation. I hope the Palestinian people will remain alert and aware in the same way that they have continued their struggle in the past ten years. If we get through this brief period successfully, the path of eliminating the occupying regime will be easy and downhill. I warn all leaders of the Islamic world that they should be aware of this trick.

Anyone who recognizes this regime because of the pressure of the World oppressor, or because of naivet or selshness, will be eternally disgraced and will burn in the fury of the Islamic nations. Those who are sitting in closed rooms cannot decide for the Islamic nation and cannot allow this historical enemy to exist in the heart of the Islamic world.

FULL TRANSCRIPT In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful All Praise Belongs to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and May Peace and Blessings be upon the Greatest and Trustworthy Prophet and His Pure Progeny, His Chosen Companions, and upon all Divine Messengers. Oh, God, Hasten the Emergence of Your Chosen Beloved, Grant Him Good Health and Victory, Make us His Best Companions, and all those who attest to His Rightfulness. Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank the Almighty God for having once more the chance to participate in this meeting. We have gathered here to ponder and work together for building a better life for the entire human community and for our nations.

Coming from Iran, the land of glory and beauty, the land of knowledge, culture, wisdom and morality, the cradle of philosophy and mysticism, the land of compassion and light, the land of scientists, scholars, philosophers, masters of literature, and writers, the land of Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Haz, Maulana, Attar, Khayyam, and Shariar, I represent a great and proud nation that is a founder of human civilization and an inheritor of respected universal values. I represent a conscious nation which is dedicated to the cause of freedom, peace and compassion, a nation that has experienced the agony and bitter times of aggressions and imposed wars, and profoundly values the blessings of peace and stability. I am now here for the eighth time in the eighth year of my service to my noble people in this august assembly of sisters and brothers from across the world, to show to the world that my noble nation like its brilliant past, has a global vision and welcomes any effort intended to provide and promote peace, stability and tranquility which can be only realized through harmony, cooperation and joint management of the world. I am here to voice the divine and humanitarian message of learned men and women of my country to you and to the whole world; a message that Iran's great

orator and poet, presented to humanity in his eternal two-line poetry: Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul, If one member is aficted with pain Other members uneasy will remain, I have talked in the past seven years about the current challenges, solutions and prospects of the future world. Today I want to raise and discuss such issues from a different perspective. Thousands of years has passed since children of Adam (peace be upon Him) started to settle down in various parts of Earth. Peoples of different colors, tastes, languages, customs and traditions pursued persistently to fulll their aspirations to build a noble society for a more beautiful life blessed with lasting peace, security and happiness. Despite all efforts made by righteous people and justice seekers, and the sufferings and pains endured by masses of people in the quest to achieve happiness and victory, the history of mankind, except in rare cases, is marked with unfullled dreams and failures.

Imagine for a moment: -Had there been no egoism, distrust, malicious behaviors, and dictatorships with no one violating the rights of others; - Had humanitarian values been viewed as the criterion for social dignity in place of afuence and consumerism, - Had humanity not experienced the dark age of medieval periods, and centers of power not hindered the ourishing of knowledge and constructive thoughts, - Had the wars of Crusade and the ensuing periods of slavery and colonialism not happened, and had the inheritors of these dark periods followed a course on the premises of humanitarians principles, - Had the rst and second World Wars in Europe, the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Africa, Latin America, and in the Balkans not happened, and if instead of the occupation of Palestine and imposition of a fake government, displacement and genocide of millions of people around the globe, the truth behind these wars had been revealed based on justice, - Had Saddam Hussein not invaded Iran, and had the big powers supported the rights of Iranian people instead of siding with Saddam,

- If the tragic incident of September 11, and the military actions against Afghanistan and Iraq that left millions killed and homeless had not happened, and if, instead of killing and throwing the culprit into the sea without trial or without informing the world and people of America, an independent fact-nding team had been formed to make the general public aware of the truth behind the incident, and prepare for bringing to justice the perpetrators, - Had extremism or terrorism not been used to secure political goals, - Had the arms been turned into pens, and military expenditures been used to promote well-being and amity among nations, - Had the drum of ethnic, religious or racial conicts not been beaten, and if differences had not been used for the purpose of advancing political agendas, - Had the right to criticize the hegemonic policies and actions of the world Zionism been recognized to allow the world media to freely report and shed light on the realities, instead of taking deceitful gestures of backing freedom bent on offending the sanctities and most sacred beliefs of human beings and divine messengers, who as the purest and most

compassionate human beings are the gift of the Almighty to humanity, - Had the Security Council not been under the domination of a limited number of governments, thus disabling the United Nations to carry out its responsibilities on a just and equitable basis, - If the international economic institutions had not been under pressure and were allowed to perform their duties and functions by using their expertise based on fairness and justice, Had the world capitalists not weakened or victimized the economies of nations in order to make up for their own mistakes, - If integrity and honesty had prevailed on the international relations, and all nations and governments were treated equally and justly in the global efforts to build and expand happiness for the entire mankind, - And if tens of other unfavorable situations had not occurred in human life, - Imagine how beautiful and pleasant our lives and how lovely the history of mankind would have been. - Let us take a look at the world situation today.

a): The Economic Situation -Poverty is on the rise and the gap is widening between the rich and the poor. -Total foreign debt of 18 industrial countries has exceeded 60 trillion dollars, whilst the repayment of half of this amount is sufcient to eradicate poverty in the world. -Economies dependent on consumerism and exploitation of people only serve the interests of a limited number of countries. -Creation of worthless paper assets by using inuence and control over the world's economic centers constitutes the greatest abuse of history, and is considered a major contributor to global economic crisis. -It has been reported that only 32 trillions of paper assets were printed by one government alone. -Development planning based on capitalist economy that runs in a vicious circle, triggers unhealthy and devastating competitions and is a failed practice. b) The Cultural Situation: From the standpoint of the politicians who control the world power centers, concepts such as moral principles, purity, honesty, integrity, compassion and self-sacrice are

rejected as defunct and outdated notions, and an impediment to the accomplishment of their goals. They openly talk about their disbelief in the relevance of ethics to the political and social affairs. Pure and indigenous cultures as the product of centuries - old efforts of nations, the common denominator reecting human profound feeling and love towards beauties, and the force which breeds diversity, cultural vividness, and social dynamism, are under constant attacks, and susceptible to extinction. A specic life style devoid of individual or social identity is being imposed on nations by organized and systematic destruction and humiliation of identities. Family as the noblest institution of societies and a center emanating love and humanity has been seriously weakened and its constructive role is on the decline. Woman's sublime role and personality, as a heavenly being, a manifestation of divine image and beauty, and the main pillar of every society, has been damaged and abused by the powerful and the wealthy. Human soul has become frustrated and the essence of humankind humiliated and suppressed.

c): Political and Security.Situation Unilateralism, application of double standards, and imposition of wars, instability and occupations to ensure economic interests, and expand dominance over sensitive centers of the world have turned to be the order of the day. Arms race and intimidation by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass-destruction by the hegemonic powers have become prevalent: Testing new generations of ultra-modern weaponry and the pledge to disclose these armaments on due time is now being used as a new language of threat against nations to coerce them into accepting a new era of hegemony. Continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists to resort to military action against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality. -A state of mistrust has cast its shadow on the international relations, whilst there is no trusted or just authority to help resolve world conicts. - No one feels secure or safe even those who have stockpiled thousands of atomic bombs and other arms in their arsenals. d): The Environmental Situation -The environment as a common wealth and heritage of the entire humankind and a

constant guarantor of man's survival has been seriously damaged and devastated as a result of irresponsible and excessive use of resources particularly by capitalists across the world, a situation that has caused massive drought, ood, and pollutions inicting irreparable damage and jeopardizing seriously human life on Earth. Dear Colleagues, Despite advances in scientic knowledge and technology, the aspirations of Adam's children have not yet been fullled. Does anybody believe that continuation of the current order is capable of bringing happiness for human society.'? Today everyone is discontent and disappointed with the current international order. Dear Colleagues, Human beings do not deserve to be under continued sufferings of the present situation. God of wisdom and compassion who loves all human beings has not ordained such a destiny for mankind. He has ordered human, as the Supreme Creature, to make the best and most beautiful life on Earth along with justice, and dignity. We must, therefore, think of a solution.

Who is responsible for all these sufferings and failures? Some people try to justify that everything is normal and a reection of divine will, putting the blame on nations as responsible for all prevalent vices and evils. They are of the opinion that: -It is the nations that succumb to discrimination and tyranny; -It is the nations that surrender to dictatorship and greed; -It is the nations that accept the hegemony of Arrogant and expansionist powers; -It is the nations that are inuenced by the propaganda tactics of powers, and most all vices in our world are the result of their passive attitudes with the inclination to live under the supremacy of the world powers. -These are the arguments raised by those who tend to blame nations for the unfavorable conditions prevailing in the world, with the intention to justify the attitudes and destructive behaviors of the ruling minority. -These claims, supposedly authentic, can not in any way justify continuation of the present oppressive international order. Indeed, Poverty is imposed on nations, and

powers' ambitions and goals are pursued either through deceits or resort to force. -To justify their inhuman actions, they propagate the theory based on ' the Survival of the ttest'. -While in principle, most governments and nations of justice-seeking people are humble and submissive in the face of Right, and are after fostering dignity, prosperity and constructive interactions. -Masses of people never want to expand their territories, nor do they seek to obtain legendary wealth. They have no disputes among themselves in principles and have never played any role in the creation of any disastrous events in the course of history. -I do not believe that Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and others have any problems, or are hostile against each other. They get along together comfortably and live together in an atmosphere of peace and amity. They are all devoted to the cause of justice, purity and love. -The general tendency of nations has always been to accomplish positive common aspirations reecting exalted divine and human beauties and nobilities.

-The current abysmal situation of the world and the bitter incidents of history are due mainly to the wrong management of the world and the self-proclaimed centers of power who have entrusted themselves to the Devil. -The order that is rooted in the anti-human thoughts of slavery and the old and new colonialism are responsible for poverty, corruption, ignorance, oppression and discrimination in every corner of the world. The current world order has certain characteristics, some of which are as follows: - It is founded on materialism, and that is why it is in no way bound to moral values. It has been shaped according to selshness, deception, hatred and animosity. 3- It believes in classication of human beings, humiliation of other nations, trampling upon the rights of others and their domination. _ It seeks to expand its domination by spreading discord and conicts amongst ethnic groups and nations. It aims to monopolize power, wealth, science and technology.

Policies of the world's main centers of power are based on the principles of domination and the conquering of others. These centers only seek supremacy, and are not in favor of peace and denitely not at the service of their nations. -Are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars on election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their hearts? -Despite what big political parties claim in the capitalistic countries, the money that goes into election campaigns is usually nothing but an investment. -In such countries, people have to vote for parties that only represent a small number of people. -The will and the views of the masses have the least impact and inuence on the big decisions especially those made about the major domestic and foreign policies. Their voices are not heard even if they constitute 99% of their societies. -Human and ethical values are sacriced in order to win votes and the willingness to listen to the demands of the people has become only a tool at the time of election. 7- The current world order is discriminatory and based on injustice.

Distinguished Friends and Colleagues, What should be done and what is the way out of the current situation? There is no doubt that the world is in need of a new order and a fresh way of thinking: 1- An order in which man is recognized as God's Supreme Creature, enjoying material and spiritual qualities and possessing a pure and divine nature lled with a desire to seek justice and truth. 2- An order that aims to revive human dignity and believes in universal happiness and perfection. _ An order which is after peace, lasting security and welfare for all walks of life around the globe. An order that is founded upon trust and kindness and brings thoughts, hearts and hands closer to each other. Rulers must love people. A just and fair order in which everybody is equal before law and in which there is no double standard. Leaders of the world must regard themselves as committed servants of their people, not their superiors.

Authority is a sacred gift from people to their rulers, not a chance to amass power and wealth. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Is it possible to have such an order without having everybody's contribution to the way the world is run? It is abundantly evident that when all the people and governments start to think and commit themselves to the above-mentioned principles and become sensitive to the internationally important issues and participate in decision makings, their wishes nd a chance to be materialized. By raising collective awareness, the seeking of a joint global management becomes more vivid with the chances of its implementation increased. Therefore, Together We Need to: 1-Place our trust in God Almighty and stand against the acquisitive minority with all our might, so that they become isolated, and can no longer decide the destiny of other nations. 2-Believe in the God's bounty of blessing and mercy and seek it in the integration and unity of human societies. Governments emerging from the free will of nations must believe in their own ceaseless

capabilities and know that they can achieve victory if they vigorously ght the unjust order and defend human rights. 3-Pave the ground for the joint global management by insisting upon justice in all its aspects, strengthen unity, friendship and expand economic, social, cultural and political interactions in independent and specialized organizations. 4-Care about the interests of all the people of the world and join hands to reform the current structures of the UN with our joint efforts and coordination. It is necessary to note that the UN belongs to nations. Thus, the existence of discrimination amongst the members is a great insult to all. The existence of discrimination and monopoly in the UN is in no way acceptable. 5-Have more coordinated efforts to generate and propagate and rmly establish the language needed for designing the required structures of the joint global management lled with justice, love and freedom. Participation in global management is the basis of lasting peace. The Non-Aligned Movement as the second largest trans-regional group after the UN, held its 16th summit in Tehran with the motto of "Joint Global Management", cognizant of the importance of this issue and the shortcomings of the current mismanagement in the emergence of crises

and problems aficting the world today. During the Summit, participating Heads of State and representatives of more than 120 countries underscored the necessity of a more serious and effective participation of all nations in the global management. -Fortunately, we are now at a historic juncture. On one hand, Marxism is no longer around and is practically eliminated from the management systems, and on the other, capitalism is bogged down in a self-made quagmire. It has indeed reached a deadlock and does not seem to be able to come up with any noteworthy solution to the various economic, political, security and cultural problems of the world. NAM is proud to once again emphasize the rightfulness of its historic decision to reject the poles of power and the unbridled hegemony ruling the world. On behalf of the members of NAM, I would like to invite all countries of the world to play a more active role in making it possible for everybody to contribute to the global decision-making processes. The need to remove the structural barriers and encourage the process of universal participation in global management has never been greater before. The UN lacks the efciency to bring about the required changes. If this inefciency persists, nations will lose hope in the global structures to defend their rights. If the UN is not restructured, international

interactions and the spirit of collective global cooperation will be tarnished and the standing of the UN will be damaged. The UN that has been created with the purpose of expanding justice and reinstitution of the universal rights has in practice been engulfed by discrimination preparing a supportive ground for the domination of a few powerful countries. Consequently, UN's inefciency has been on the rise. Moreover, the existence of the veto right and monopolization of power in the Security Council have made it nearly impossible to defend the rights of the nations. The issue of UN re-structuring is very vital and is a need that has been emphasized time and again by the representatives of nations, a goal that has not yet been accomplished. I would like to urge the honorable members of the United Nations and H.E.. the Secretary General and his colleagues to place this issue high on their agenda and devise an appropriate mechanism to make it happen. NAM stands ready to aid the UN in this essential endeavor. Mr. President, Friends and Dear Colleagues, Creating peace and lasting security with decent life for all, although a great and a

historic mission can be accomplished. The Almighty God has not left us alone in this mission and has said that it will surely happen. If it doesn't, then it will be contradictory to his wisdom. -God Almighty has promised us a man of kindness, a man who loves people and loves absolute justice, a man who is a perfect human being and is named Imam A1-Mahdi, a man who will come in the company of Jesus Christ (PBUH) and the righteous. By using the inherent potential of all the worthy men and women of all nations and I repeat, the inherent potential of "all the worthy men and women of all nations" he will lead humanity into achieving its glorious and eternal ideals. -The arrival of the Ultimate Savior will mark a new beginning, a rebirth and a resurrection. It will be the beginning of peace, lasting security and genuine life. -His arrival will be the end of oppression, immorality, poverty, discrimination and the beginning of justice, love and empathy. -He will come and he will cut through ignorance, superstition, prejudice by opening the gates of science and knowledge. He will establish a world brimful of prudence and he will prepare the ground for the collective, active and constructive participation of all in the global management.

-He will come to grant kindness, hope, freedom and dignity to all humanity as a girl. -He will come so mankind will taste the pleasure of being human and being in the company of other humans. -He will come so that hands will be joined, hearts will be lled with love and thoughts will be puried to be at service of security, welfare and happiness for all. -He will come to return all children of Adam irrespective of their skin colors to their innate origin after a long history of separation and division linking them to eternal happiness. -The arrival of the Ultimate Savior, Jesus Christ and the Righteous will bring about an eternally bright future for mankind, not by force or waging wars but through thought awakening and developing kindness in everyone. Their arrival will breathe a new life in the cold and frozen body of the world. He will bless humanity with a spring that puts an end to our winter of ignorance, poverty and war with the tidings of a season of blooming. -Now we can sense the sweet scent and the soulful breeze of the spring, a spring that has just begun and doesn't belong to a specic race, ethnicity, nation or a region, a spring that will soon reach all the

territories in Asia, Europe, Africa and the US. -He will be the spring of all the justiceseekers, freedom-lovers and the followers of heavenly prophets. He will be the spring of humanity and the greenery of all ages. -Let us join hands and clear the way for his eventual arrival with empathy and cooperation, in harmony and unity. Let us march on this path to salvation for the thirsty souls of humanity to taste immortal joy and grace. Long live this spring, long live this spring and long live this spring. Thank you.

TRANSCRIPT: Hugo Chavez, September 28th 2011 Venezuela Analysis Caracas, Venezuela September 26th, 2011 Your Excellency, President of the General Assembly: Honorable Representatives of the Peoples of the World: Ladies and Gentlemen: I address these words to the United Nations General Assembly, to this great forum where all the peoples of the earth are represented, to express Bolivarian Venezuelas truths and to reassert our inalienable commitment to justice and equality, that is to say, to peace. Peace, peace, peace We do not look for the peace of the cemetery, as said Kant ironically, but a peace based on the most zealous respect for international law. Unfortunately, the UN, through all its history, instead of adding and multiplying efforts in favor of peace among nations, ends up supporting, sometimes through its actions and other times by omission, the most ruthless injustices. It should always be remembered that saving future generations from the scourge of

war is mentioned in the Preamble of the Charter of the United Nations its just a dead letter. From 1945 on, wars have done nothing but inexorably increase and multiply themselves. We see, once again, Libya destroyed and bloodstained by the will of the powerful. I want to call on the governments of the world to reect: since September 11th, 2001, a new and unprecedented imperialist war began, a permanent war, in perpetuity. We have to look directly at the terrifying reality of the world we live in. It is necessary to ask a series of questions on the basis of the risks and threats we face: Why is the United States the only country that scatters the planet with military bases? What is it afraid of to allocate such a staggering budget for increasing its military power? Why has it unleashed so many wars, violating the sovereignty of other nations which have the same rights on their own fates? How can international law be enforced against its insensible aspiration to militarily hegemonizing the world in order to ensure energy sources to sustain their predatory and consumer model? Why does the UN do nothing to stop Washington? If we answer these questions sincerely we would understand that the empire has awarded itself the role of judge of the world, without being granted this responsibility by anyone, and, therefore, imperialist war threatens us all.

Washington knows that a multi-polar world is already an irreversible reality. Its strategy consists ofstopping, at any price, the sustained rise of a group of emerging countries, by negotiating great interests with its partners and followers in order to guide multipolarity along the path the empire wants. What is more, the goal is to recongure the world so it is based on Yankee military hegemony. Mankind is facing the very real threat of a permanent war. The empire is ready to create the political conditions for triggering a war anywhere, and the case of Libya proves it. Within the imperial view of the world, the well-known Clausewitzs axiom is being reversed: politics is the continuation of war by other means. What is behind this new Armageddon?: the absolute power of the military-nancial leadership which is destroying the world in order to accumulate ever more prots; the military-nancial leadership which is subordinated, de facto, to an increasingly larger group of States. Keep in mind that war is capitals modus operandi: the war that ruins the majority and makes richer, up to the unthinkable, a few people. Right now, there is a very serious threat to global peace: a new cycle of colonial wars, which started in Libya, with the sinister objective of refreshing the capitalist global system, within a structural crisis today, but

without any limit to its consumerist and destructive voracity. The case of Libya should alert us to the attempt to implement a new imperial kind of colonialism: that of military interventionism backed by the antidemocratic organisms of the United Nations and justied on the basis of prefabricated media lies. Humanity is on the brink of an unimaginable catastrophe: the world is marching inexorably toward the most devastating ecocide; global warming and its frightening consequences are announcing it, but their perspective on the ecosystem, which resembles the ideology of the conquistadors Corts and Pizarro, as the inuential French thinker Edgar Morin rightly pointed out, pushes them to continue degrading and destroying. The energy and food crises are sharpening, but capitalism continues to trespass all the limits with impunity. Given such a meagre outlook, the great U.S. scientist Linus Pauling, awarded the Nobel Prize on two occasions, continues enlightening our path: I believe that there is a greater power in the world than the evil power of military force, of nuclear bombs there is the power of good, of morality, of humanitarianism. I believe in the power of the human spirit. Let us mobilize all the power of the human spirit: it is time now. It is imperative that we unleash a great political counter-offensive

in order to prevent the powers of darkness from nding justications for going to war, from unleashing a widespread global war through which they attempt to save the western capital. Venezuela calls for the establishment of a broad alliance for peace and against war, with the supreme aim of avoiding war at all costs. The warmongers, and especially the military-nancial leadership that sponsors and leads them, must be defeated. Lets build the balance of the universe foreseen by the Liberator, Simn Bolvar the balance that, according to his words, cannot be found within war; the balance that is born out of peace. It is necessary to remember that Venezuela, alongside the member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), was actively advocating for a peaceful and negotiated solution to the Libyan conict. That is also what the African Union did. However, in the end, the logic of war decreed by the UN Security Council and put into practice by NATO, the armed wing of the Yankee empire, was imposed. The logic of war having its spearhead in corporate mass media: let us bear in mind that the Libyan Case was brought before the Security Council on the basis of an intense propaganda by the western mass

media, who lied about the alleged bombing of innocent civilians by the Libyan Air Force, not to mention the grotesque media setting of the Green Square of Tripoli. This premeditated bunch of lies was used to justify irresponsible and hasty decisions by the Security Council, which paved the way for NATOs military regime change policy in Libya. It is worthwhile to ask: What has the no-y zone established by Security Council resolution 1973 become? How could NATO perform more than 20,000 missions against the Libyan people if there was a no-y zone? After the Libyan Air Force was completely annihilated, the continued humanitarian bombing shows that the West, through NATO, intends to impose their interests in North Africa, turning Libya into a colonial protectorate. How can we say that an arms embargo was imposed on Libya when it was NATO itself that introduced thousands of heavy weapons to support a violent upheaval against that countrys legitimate government? The embargo was, of course, meant to prevent the Libyan government from defending its sovereignty. This demonstrates, once again, the cruel logic of international relations, where the law only applies to the weak. What is the

real reason for this military intervention?: Recolonizing Libya in order to capture its wealth. Everything else is related to this goal. Nobody colonizes innocently, as the great Martinican poet Aim Csaire said, quite rightly, in his extraordinary essay called Discours sur le colonialisme. By the way: the Residence of the Venezuelan Ambassador in Tripoli was invaded and looted, and the UN kept it to itself, remaining ignominiously silent. We call for the immediate cessation of bombing operations in Libyan territory. Similarly, we will continue calling for respect for international law in the case of this sister nation. We will not remain silent in light of the evil intention of destroying the basis of its sense and reason. Therefore, we ask this Assembly: Why is the Libyan seat in the UN granted to the national transitional council, while the admission of Palestine is blocked by ignoring, not only its lawful aspiration, but also the existing will of the majority of the General Assembly? Venezuela hereby raties its unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian people and its total support for the Palestinian national cause, which naturally includes the immediate admission of Palestine as a full member state within the United Nations.

And the same imperialist pattern is being repeated regarding Syria. If some permanent members of the Security Council had not taken the rm stance that was missing in the case of Libya, it would have authorized shooting missiles and bombs in Syria. It is intolerable that the powerful of this world intend to claim for themselves the right to order legitimate and sovereign governments rulers to step down. This was the case in Libya, and they want to do the same in Syria. Such are the existing asymmetries in the international setting and such are the abuses against the weakest nations. It is not for us to bring forward a conclusive judgment about the national situation in Syria; rst, because of the inherent complexity of any national reality and, second, because only the Syrian people can solve their problems and decide their fate in light of the peoples right to self-determination, which is an inalienable right in all respects. If we direct our eyes to the Horn of Africa we will witness a heartbreaking example of the UNs historical failure: most serious news agencies report that 20-29,000 children under the age of 5 have died in the last three months.

The great journalist Frida Modak, in her article, To Die in Somalia, reveals all the misery there, which is worse than that ravaging the rest of the vast region of the Horn of Africa, and which undermines the role of large international organizations, the UN in the rst place. She writes: What is needed to face this situation is $400 million, not to solve the problem, but just to address the emergency that Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia are going through. According to all sources, the next two months will be crucial to prevent more than 12 million people from dying, and the worst situation is that of Somalia. This reality could not be more atrocious, especially if, at the same time, we ask ourselves how much is being spent to destroy Libya. This is the answer of U.S. congressman Dennis Kucinich, who said: This new war will cost us $500 million during its rst week alone. Obviously, we do not have nancial resources for that and we will end up cutting off other important domestic programs funding. According to Kucinich himself, with the amount spent during the rst three weeks in Northern Africa to massacre the Libyan people, much could have been done to help the entire region of the Horn of Africa,saving tens of thousands of lives. The reasons behind the criminal military engagement in Libya are not humanitarian

at all: they are based on the Malthusian notion that there are just too many people in the world and they have to be eliminated by generating more hunger, destruction and uncertainty, and creating at the same time more nancial prots. In this regard, it is frankly regrettable that in the opening address of the 66th General Assembly of the UN, an immediate appeal to solve humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa was not made, while instead we were assured that the time has come to act on Syria. As of 2010, 19 UN General Assembly votes conrm the universal will demanding that the United States stop the economic and trade blockade against Cuba. Since all sensible international arguments have been exhausted, we have no choice but to believe that such cruel actions against the Cuban Revolution result from imperial arrogance in view of the dignity and courage shown by the unsubmissive Cuban people in their sovereign decision to determine their own fate and ght for their happiness. From Venezuela, we believe it is time to demand of the U.S. not only an immediate and unconditional end to the criminal blockade imposed against the Cuban people, but also the release of the ve Cuban antiterrorist ghters held hostage in the prisons of the American Empire for the sole reason of seeking to prevent the illegal

actions of terrorist groups against Cuba, under the shelter of the U.S. government. From Venezuela, we believe it is time to demand the United States not only the immediate and unconditional end to the criminal blockade imposed against the Cuban peoples, but also the release of the ve Cuban antiterrorist ghters held hostage in the prisons of the American Empire for the sole reason of seeking to prevent the illegal actions that terrorist groups prepare against Cuba, under the shelter of the Government of the United States. Mr. President of the General Assembly and distinguished representatives of the peoples of the world: We want to reiterate that it is impossible to ignore the crisis of the UN. Before this same General Assembly we expressed, back in 2005, that the UN model had been exhausted. Back then, we also expressed the urgent need for it to be rebuilt. Up until now, nothing has been done. The political will of the powerful has prevailed. Certainly, the UN, in its current functioning, docilely serves their interests. For us, it is obvious that the UN is not improving, nor will it improve from the inside. If the Secretary General, along with the President of the International Criminal Court, take part in an act of war, as in the case of Libya, nothing can be expected from

the current structure of this organization and there is no longer time for reform. The UN does not accept any reform whatsoever; the illness at its core is deadly. It is unbearable that there is a Security Council that turns its back, whenever it wants to, on the clamor of the majority of nations by deliberately failing to acknowledge the will of the General Assembly. If the Security Council is some sort of club with privileged members, what can the General Assembly do? Where is its room for manoeuvre, when Security Council members violate international law? Paraphrasing Bolvar when he spoke of nascent Yankee imperialism in 1818, we have had enough of the weak following the law while the strong commit abuses. It cannot be us, the peoples of the South, who respect international law while the North violates it, destroying and plundering us. If we do not make a commitment, once and for all, to rebuilding the United Nations, this organization will lose its remaining credibility. Its crisis of legitimacy will be accelerated until it nally implodes. In fact, that is what happened to its immediate predecessor: the League of Nations. A crucial rst step in rebuilding the United Nations would be to eliminate the category

of permanent members and veto power within the Security Council. Likewise, the decision-making power of the General Assembly must be maximized democratically. We also require an immediate, in-depth revision of the UN Charter with the aim of drafting a new Charter. Peoples of the World: The future of a multi-polar world, in peace, resides in us, in the organization of the majority of the people on earth to defend ourselves against the new colonialism, in order to achieve a balance in the universe that is capable of neutralizing imperialism and arrogance. This broad, generous, respectful, and inclusive call is addressed to all the peoples of the world, but especially to the emerging powers of the South, which must assume, with courage, the role that they are called on to play immediately. From Latin America and the Caribbean, powerful and dynamic regional alliances have emerged, seeking to shape a regional democratic space, respectful of differences and eager to emphasize solidarity and complementarity in order to foster the ties that bind us and settle what keeps us apart politically. And this new regionalism allows for diversity and respects the various rhythms of nation. Thus, the

Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) advances as an avant-garde experiment of progressive and antiimperialist governments, seeking ways to break the prevailing international order and strengthening the capacity of the people to face, together, the prevailing powers. But this does not prevent its members from making an enthusiastic push for the consolidation of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), a political bloc that federates the 12 sovereign States of South America with the purpose of grouping them under what the Liberator Simn Bolvar called a Nation of Republics. Furthermore, the 33 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are currently preparing to take the historic step of establishing a great regional entity that joins us all, without exclusions, where we can together design the policies that will ensure our wellbeing, our independence, and our sovereignty, on the basis of equality, solidarity, and complementarity. Caracas, the capital of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is proud to host, next December 2nd and 3rd, the Summit of Heads of State and Government that will establish, denitively, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). The people of Venezuela place our hopes on a broad alliance among the regional organizations of the South, such as the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR),

CARICOM (the Caribbean Community), SICA (the System of Central American Integration), the African Union, ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) or ECO (the Economic Coordination Organization), and especially the crossregional instances of coordination among emerging powers, such as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), which should become a pole of inuence in coordination with the peoples of the South. I want to conclude by remembering the great Venezuelan singer, Al Primera. In one of his songs he asks us: What is mans struggle to achieve peace? And what peace, if they want to leave the world just as it is? Today more than ever before, the worst crime against peace is to leave the world as it is: if we leave the world as it is, the present and future will be determined by perpetual war. On the contrary, to quote Al Primera, achieving peace involves radically reversing all that impedes humanity from being humane. Hugo Chvez Fras, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

Complete Transcript [Historic Speech of Gadda to UN General Assembly, 2009] Note: United Nations removed the English transcript of his speech from its website and western media removed the transcript from all types of media resources. MetaExistence Organization made an effort to restore the original transcript from his video speech. Gadda showed a actual evil face of UN and security council to the world. Truth always be truth . . . . You never hide it Here is complete transcript of what he said: Distinguished members of the General Assembly of the United Nations, in the name of the African Union, I would like to welcome you. This gathering will be an historic one in the world and the history of the world. And in the name of the General Assembly that is presided by Libya now, in the name of the African Union, and in the name of 1,000 traditional African kingdoms in your own name, I would like to seize this opportunity to present congratulations to our son, Obama, because this is the rst time that he is attending the General Assembly in this capacity as the president of the United States, and we greet him because it is the hosting country of this gathering.

This meeting comes at the corner at the (inaudible) of so many challenges that face us, and that the whole world should come together and unite and should put all efforts together. Serious efforts should be put together by the world so that the world will defeat these challenges which constitute the main common enemy to all of us challenges of climate, challenges of international crises, or the economic capitalist deterioration, and the food crisis (inaudible). Perhaps this swine virus may be one of those viruses that was created in the laboratory and it got out of control because it was meant in the beginning to be used as a military weapon, as well as the military, the nuclear proliferations, as well as the hypocrisy, the deteriorations, and the control of (inaudible). Dear brothers, as you know, the United Nations was established and founded by countries where against the Germans at the time. The United Nations that we have today is different today. But the United Nations it is the countries or the nations that would come together against Germany during the Second World War. These countries constituted (inaudible) and give members seats its own members. And granted we were not present at the time. And the United Nations was tailored according to these countries and wanted

from us to wear the clothes or the suit that was tailored against Germany. That is the real substance and context of the United Nations as it was founded 40 years or 60 years ago. This happened during the absence of over 165 countries where the ratio was one of eight. And one was present and eight were absent. Those they created or they made the charter, and you know I have the charter, a copy of it. And one should read the charter of the United Nations. The preamble of the United Nations is different from the provisions and the articles. How this came to existence, those who attended in San Francisco in 1945, they all participated in the preamble, but they left articles and the provisions and the procedures the (inaudible). They left it to the job of the experts and the countries who are interested, which are the countries who created the Security Council, which countries came together united against Germany. The preamble is very tempting, and no one is objecting to the preamble, but everything that came after that is completely in contradiction with the preamble. This is what we have now this is what we are injecting, and we should never continue. This came to an end during the Second World War. The preamble says that the

nations are equal whether they are small or big. Are we equal in the permanent seats. No. We are not equals. And the preamble says that all nations are equal whether they are small nations or whether they are big nations as far as rights. Do we have rights of a veto. Are we equals. The preamble says that we are equals in our rights whether we are big or small. This is what is stated, and this is what we have agreed in the preamble. So, the veto is against the charter. The permanent seats are against the charter. We do not accept it and we do not acknowledge it, neither do we recognize it. (Gadda ripped up a UN charter at this point) The charter states that we in the preamble, I mean that we should not resort to military force unless it is a common interest. This is the preamble which we were happy and we signed, and we joined the United Nations because we wanted the charter to be like that. It says that the armed forces only use it when it is a common interest to all nations.

But after that, what happened? Sixty ve wars broke out after the establishment of the United Nations and after the establishment of the Security Council, and after this establishment. Sixty ve, and the victims are millions more than victims of the Second World War. Are these wars and the aggressions and the force that was used, and the power (ph) in the 65 wars, in the common interest of all of us? No. It was the interest of one country or three countries or four countries or one country. But it was not in the interest of all the nations. And we shall come and discuss about the wars, whether these wars broke out was in the interest of one country or were in the whole nations. This is in full contradictions and full intervention of the United Nation charters, and we signed that. And unless we do things in the charter of the United Nations, according to which we agreed, otherwise we don't speak diplomatically, we are not afraid. We don't (inaudible), and we were not being nice to anybody. Now we are talking about the future of (inaudible). There is no hypocrisy, no diplomacy, because it is a decisive and important matter. (inaudible) of understanding and hypocrisy created to 65 wars after the establishment of the United Nations.

The preamble states also that if there is a use of force, then there must be then it must be the United Nations force, or the United Nations military interventions, according to the joint ventures of the United Nations, not country, or one, two country, or three country, using the force or the military power. The United Nations, all of it, will decide to go to war to maintain peace and world security. And if there's any aggression by one country against another after the 45 after the establishment of this United Nations, if there is any aggression against any country, the United Nations, all together, should deter and stop this aggression, and should check this aggression. I mean, if a country, any country, Libya, for instance, makes an attack or an aggression against France, then the whole United Nations should check the Libyan aggression against France, because France is a member state, an independent state in the United General Assembly, that is a sovereign country, a member state of the United Nations. And all of us, we have to protect the sovereignty of all nations collectively. But 65 wars, aggressive wars, took place without any actions from the United Nations to stop and check these wars. And eight erce, big wars and victims of these wars among 2 (ph) million made or initiated by the countries who have member states and veto. Those countries who are

believed that they would maintain the sovereignty and independence of the people, these countries actually use aggressive force against people. We wanted to believe that these countries will make peace and security in the world and protect the people. These countries actually resorted to aggressive wars and (inaudible) wars. And as a matter of fact, they enjoyed the veto that was given to them by themselves and enjoyed the member states of the Security Council. But in the meantime, they actually initiated the war which amounted to millions of victims. So, in this charter, there is nothing that the United Nations will interfere which will be the pure business of the internal affairs I mean, the government. It is the internal affairs of a certain government. No country has the right to interfere in this affair, the sort of government whether it is a socialist, capitalist system, or whether it is a reactionary progressive. This is the responsibility of the society. It is an internal matter of the people concerned of a certain country. Rome one day the senators of Rome they gave him (ph) the amendment (ph) to be a dictator, because at the time it was good for Rome. No one can say to Rome at the time that you give Caesar this veto. The veto is not mentioned in the charter.

(inaudible) we joined the United Nations because we thought we are equals. And then there is one country that can object to all of the decisions that we make, and it has a member seat. And who has given this country this member seat? These four countries, they have given themselves member states. The only country that we have voted in this General Assembly is China. China, we have voted to give China a member state in the Security Council. This was done democratically, but the other member seats was not Democratic, was imposed upon us. This should not be accepted by us, and it was a dictatorial procedure that was done against our will. United (ph) reform is not increasing of the member states. It is just making things worse. I don't know how this will be translated, but if we add more water, it will be more muddy. This is a typical expression (ph) to add insult to injury. I mean, to make things worse, and to make things even worse by how? Because many big countries will be added further to the former big countries that we already have, and like this it will be (inaudible). So we'll have more superpowers. Then from here we reject having any more seats done in this way. The solution is not in having more seats. And the most dangerous

one, if we have more superpowers already, the superpowers that we already have this will crash down the peoples of all small peoples of third-world countries which now are coming together in what may be called the G100. There are 100 small countries coming together in a forum that is called a forum of small states. These countries will be crushed by superpowers, because further superpowers, further big countries will be added to already (inaudible). This door should be closed, and we reject that strongly and categorically. Then you open the door to have more seats in the Security Council. This will add more poverty, more injustice, more tension at the world level, and more competition and the level of the Security Council. And then we shall have there will be high competition between certain countries between Italy, Germany, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Japan, Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina, Brazil, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, Congo, South Africa, Tanzania, Turkey, Iran, Greece, Ukraine (ph). All of these countries will ask to have a seat at the Security Council. And like this, we shall have a raise (ph) of competitions, then it will be impractical. So, what is the solution? The solution is that for the solution presided for the General

Assembly by (inaudible), which will be a binding resolution taken by the General Assembly, which will not (inaudible) any other quarter. The solution is that we shall close the admission of the member states and we don't have anymore member states. This is an item that is provided for the General Assembly, presided by Dr. Thratcher (ph) right now. And in place of that will be the achievement of the democracy based on equality between member states. There should be equality between member states and instrumentation of the powers and demanded of the Security Council, the General Assembly. And the membership will be for the associations, not for countries, because if we open the door for more members and more memberships for the countries because this will give the right to any country to have a member seat in the country. And the preamble allowed that. No country can say, for instance, you don't have a seat in the Security Council if a seat is given to Germany. Italy will Germany, maybe for the argument of Italy, will say it was not Germany was an aggressive country, was (inaudible), and was defeated in the Second World War. And if we give India a seat, then Pakistan will say we are a nuclear country and we are at war, and then Pakistan that would be a danger thing.

If we give it to Japan, then we should give Indonesia, being the biggest Muslim country in the world. And then Turkey or Kenya will have the same rights. What can we say to them? Argentina, Brazil, Libya. Libya, that has discarded the WMD program, because it will deserve a member state because then it then has done service to security by discarded this program. And South Africa will do the same and Tanzania will do the same. All these countries are important, and (inaudible). This door should be this is falsehood, and this is a trick, and if we went to reform the United Nations, and then we bring more superpowers, more countries, and then we add more to the already big superpowers which did quite a lot of suffering to us. And then the solution is to achieve democracy at the level of the general congress of the world, which is the General Assembly, which is transformation of the Security Council power to the General Assembly. And the Security Council will be just an instrument to implement the decisions taken by the General Assembly. It will be the parliament of the world and the legislative assembly of the world, and this is democracy, and the Security Council should be responsible before the General Assembly, and we should not accept it.

These are the legislators which are the members of the General Assembly and the resolution should be binding. It is said that the General Assembly should do this and this at the recommendation of the Security Council. The Security Council should do this and that according to the rules and the orders of the United Nations. These are the United Nations, are including all the members of the world, not the Security Council, which include only 10 member states. How can we be happy about the world peace and security if the four countries or 10 countries controlled the whole world? We are 190 nations and countries, and we are like the (inaudible). I mean, we just speak and nobody is implementing our decisions. We are just like decor. You are made like decor. You are like a Hyde Park. You were I mean, without any real substance. It's just according to speaker like the speakers of the Hyde Park corner. No more, no less. You just make a speech and then disappear. This is who you are right now. The Security Council is an executive body for the resolution taken by the General Assembly only. And in this case, there will be no competition for the Security Council member states, because once the Security Council becomes a tool to implement the

resolution taken by the General Assembly, there will be no need for any competition. The Security Council should just be a representative for all nations, but not by a state this is what is submitted now to the General Assembly but a permanent seat for all space, for all union, I mean. Twentyseven countries for European Union. They should have a permanent seat at the Security Council. The African Union should have a member seat in the Security Council, 53 countries. And Latin Americans should have a permanent seat and the (inaudible) should have a permanent seat. And the (inaudible), plus two or countries, should have a permanent seat. The Russian federation should have a permanent seat. The United States of America, which is 50 states, it has already a permanent member seat at the Security Council. (inaudible), once it is established or is about to be established should have a member state. (inaudible) should have a member seat, 22 countries. The Islamic Conference, 45 countries, should have also a member seat. Then (inaudible) should have a permanent member seat in the Security Council. Then we have the G 100. Then we think about that perhaps all small countries, the

forum (ph) of small countries, perhaps they would have a permanent member seat also. If there are countries outside of the (inaudible) that I mentioned, maybe we can assign a permanent seat will be given to them by rotation every six months. Japan, Australia, may be outside any union, or Australia, or in other countries. Perhaps they would not join the (inaudible) or the Russian Federation, or not a member in the European Union or the Latin American Union, or in the African Union. Perhaps any country will be given this is the solution, that now this is meant for a vote for the Security Council for the General Assembly to take a vote. This is a vital, important issue. And I mentioned, the General Assembly is the congress of the world, the parliament of the world, the master of the world, and no one should object. No one should we are the nations. Anyone outside this General Assembly we do not recognize. (inaudible) and Ban Ki moon, his Excellency, the secretary general of the United Nations, will make the draft, the legal draft, and set up the necessary committees to submit this for voting. The Security Council from now will be made of unions. This is justice. This is democracy. And then we put an end to the Security Council will be occupied by the countries which one has

nuclear weapons, which one has technology. This is terrorism. We cannot have the Security Council and the countries which have the superpowers. This is terrorism in itself. If you went a world that lives in peace, united, we should do that. If we want a world, then it's up to you. Then we have conict, and then we should continue ghting each other, or conict until doomsday or until the end of the world. These members which have a veto or they don't have a veto. All the Security Council, they should have the right of the veto. All of these unions belonging to the seats. Or we should cancel the whole veto with the new formation. This is the real Security Council. And anyhow, the new Security Council that is submitted to the new proposals, submitted to the General Assembly for voting, will be an executive council which will be under the control of the General Assembly. The General Assembly, which will have the real power and the real (inaudible), like all countries will be equal in the Security Council in the same way they are equal in the General Assembly.

We are in the General Assembly. We have equal votes. We should also be equals next door, which is the Security Council. A country has a veto, a country doesn't have a veto, a country has a member seat, and then a country should not have a member seat, we should not accept it and it should be a mandate (ph) from now. And we should not be subjected to it, and we should not accept any resolution taken by the Security Council according to the composition right now. We were (inaudible). We are independent. And now we are here to decide the future of the world in a democratic way that will maintain world and peace security. All people, small and big, are equals. This is terrorism, like the terrorism of the Al Qaida. This is terrorism. Terrorism is not just Al Qaida, but it can be also in other forms. We should resort to the maturity of the votes of the General Assembly alone, and we should not vote (ph). If the General Assembly takes a vote, then it should be implemented and should be taken, and taken into decision. And it should be enforced. And no one should say I am above and higher than the General Assembly. Anyone who says that I'm higher than or above the General Assembly should leave the United Nations and be alone.

Democracy is not for the rich or for the for the rich or for the one who terrorizes. So, for the one who is more powerful than us, (inaudible) democracy? No. The higher (inaudible) should be their own nations at equal footing. Now the Security Council is security feudalism, political feudalism for those who have permanent seats protected by them. And they are used against us. It should not be called the Security Council. It should be called the " Terror Council. " You see, my brothers, that in our life, in our political life, that if the Security Council is used against us, then they go to the Security Council, they resort to the Security Council. If they have no need to use it against us, then they ignore the Security Council. If the charter, they have interests, an ax to grind to use against us, they respect the charter. They look for the seven chapters of the Security charter (inaudible). But if they want to violate the charter, they would ignore the charter as if it doesn't exist at all. If the veto on the permanent seat is given to the one who has the power is injustice and terrorism that will not be accepted by us, and we should not live under the shadow of this injustice and this terror. Superpowers

have interests, complicating (ph) interests, and they use the interests, they use the (inaudible), they use the power of the United Nations to protect their interests. And these terrorized and intimidated the Third World. The Third World is terried and being terrorized and living under the fear of terror. The Security Council ever since it was established in 1949 did not provide us with security, but provided us, on the contrary, terror and sanctions. It is used against us only. For this reason, we are not committed to adhere to the Security Council resolutions after this speech of the fortieth anniversary. Sixty-four wars took place broke out against the war (ph) against the world, against small (inaudible). That it is ghting between small countries or aggression in wars against by superpowers against countries, big countries against us. And United Nations or the Security Council did not take any actions to stop these wars and aggressions in violation of the charter of the United Nations against small nations and small peoples. And the General Assembly will vote for these historic resolutions. Either we continue together in one nations or we go into break into two equal nations, have its own general assembly, its own security council belonging to it, where they have equal footing, standing on equal

footing or and the big countries who have the permanent seats, who have their rights, will stay in their own councils, whether there are four or three, as they wish (inaudible). And they should exercise veto against themselves, and this is not of our interest. And if they want to stay in permanent seats, OK, that's OK, but permanent is a threat for (inaudible) but we shall never stay under the supervision or the control of the veto and the right of veto to given countries. We are not (inaudible) to give we are not fool to give the right of a veto to big powers to use us, and we are treated like second class and like despised nations. We have not decided that these are big nations, (inaudible) nations, respected nations. These are the nations of the world which represent 190 countries. We know that now ignoring the resolutions of the Security Council is now though it is injustice, and it is only used against us. It is not used against the big countries who have the permanent seats or those countries who have the right of veto. They never use any resolution against them. In the countries, it is used against us. So, any resolutions taken against us, it has become a travesty of the United Nations, and it has become wars and violations of independent states authorities (ph) and

committing war crimes and genocides. And these are all in violation of the Security Council, even though there is a Security Council, and nobody cares about the Security Council and even though now each now, each country has each (inaudible) community have become security councils, establishing its own security councils and with the security councils in its own formation. Now it has the Security Council (inaudible) has become isolated. The African Union has already established MASS (ph), which is the peace and security for Africa, and the European Union has already established the security council. The (inaudible) already establishing its own security councils. America will have its own concerns, nonalignment (ph). One hundred twenty countries will have its own peace and security council. This means that we have already lost the trust in the Security Council, which have not provided us with security. And now that's why we are creating regional peace securities or regional security councils. We are not committed to obey the rules or the resolutions of the security councils in this formation because it is undemocratic, unjust, and no one can force us to be a member of the security councils and to obey or adhere to resolutions or all of this given by Security Council in its composition as it is right now.

Now, brothers, there is no respect to the United Nations. No regard to the General Assembly, which constitutes (ph) actually the real substantive (inaudible), and which it has no decisions that is abiding. The International Court of Justice, it is a judicial international body, and resolutions only implemented against the small countries, the small nations. And big countries are rejected to be implemented against the big countries. There are resolutions or court orders taken against these big countries, but they have been refused to be implemented against them. The International the IAEA (ph), an important one in the United Nations, are not big countries are not responsible for it, or are not under control. And we have discovered that this is only used against us. It is a (inaudible) against us. You told us, this is an international one, so if it is an international one, then all the countries of the world should be under jurisdictions of this one. If it's not international, then we close the door and arrive from this now, from this speech, we shall close the door, and we should not accept it. And adopt a (inaudible) president of the General Assembly. He will talk to the director of the Baradei (ph) or the (inaudible). They will ask him, do you inspect the nuclear supplies of all? Do you supervise the increase of this nuclear storage? Then if he says, yes, then OK, then we accept that

we'll be under control. But if he says that we cannot go to these countries who have the nuclear powers, and I cannot have any jurisdiction, then we should close the door, and we not accept it to be under its control. For your information, I told Baradei when we had the problem (inaudible) nuclear bomb, and predecessor, I called them and I told them, Mr. Baradei, the agreements to increase to decrease the nuclear supplies between the superpowers, is it under control? Is there any provisions that if it's in a country increased its nuclear heads, are you aware of that? He said to me, no. These big powers I cannot go so close to it. I cannot ask them. I cannot.... so, you are only coming to us??? I said that this is not an international organization. So, it is meant only for us. Security Council against us. International IAEA against us. International Court of Justice against us. And they (world powers) are free. This is not justice. This is not United Nations. This is rejected totally. As regards Africa, Dr. (inaudible), if you want to reform whether they reform the United Nations or not, and even before you take any historic decisions or vote against Africa, a need is now for now a permanent member seat in the Security Council because this is (inaudible). Even if we are not talking about the United Nations reform, Africa was colonized, was isolated, was persecuted,

was usurped (ph), was treated like animals, was treated like slaves, was treated colonies, was colonized, was put under the trusteeship. These countries, the African Union deserves a permanent seat for the past. It's an outstanding bill to be paid, like (inaudible). And it has nothing to do with the United Nation reforms. This is a priority and high on the agenda for the General Assembly, and no one can say that the African Union does not deserve a permanent seat. Who has the argument? Anyone can talk to me even right now or argue with me. Any proof that the African Union does not deserve a permanent seat or that the African continent does not deserve a permanent seat. No one can argue, or no one can refute what I am saying. It is also for voting for the General Assembly for compensation to countries who were colonized. And why? So that no more repetition of colonizations and no more usurpation and stealing of the wealth of the people. And why the Africans should go to Europe? Why do Africans go to Europe? Why do Asians go to Europe? Why do Latin American people go to Europe? Because Europe was colonized by they took the mines (ph), the wealth, all the resources of Africa, of Asia, of Latin America. And they took all the oil, the fruit,

the vegetables and the stock and the people, and they used them. Now, the new generation, the African generations whether it is Asian, whether it is Latin America or it is in Africa, now they are looking for these ones which have been usurped and stolen. Now, when I stop one African (inaudible) going to Europe (inaudible), I told them where are you going? They told me, I'm going to take my usurped wealth. If you bring my reserved wealth, then I don't go. I stop. Who can bring back the wealth that was taken to me? Make a decision to bring all these resources and wealth so that no more immigration from the Philippines to Latin America, to Mauritius, to India. Let us have the wealth that was taken from us and looted from us. Africa deserves compensation trillion $7.7, $7.77 trillion. That's the compensation Africa deserves from the countries who colonized Africa. Africa will call for that. And if you dont give us this amount, 7.77, the Africans will go to where you have taken these trillions. They have the right. They have to follow. Bring the money back. And then they can be (inaudible). No Libyan immigration to Italy, even though Libya's so (inaudible). Why there is no Libyan immigration to Italy? Because Italy

(inaudible) compensation for the Libyan people (inaudible) and accepted the compensations and signed the (inaudible), a treaty, an agreement with the Italian with Libyan, and it was endorsed by the Italian parliament, and accepted that the colonization was wrong, and we should not be repeated again. And Italy would not accept to be attacked whether by air, sea against the Libyan people and that Libya will compensate for the next 20 years, will pay a quarter of billions and will build hospitals for the Libyans who are lost their members of their hands or their ngers because of the mines during the Second World War when the mines were laid upon the Libyan land. Italy made apology and was sorry and said that it will never be a country will occupy other country, the territories of other countries. And it was Italy when it was a kingdom and it was Italy during the fascist regime. And Italy has done a gloried thing and a civilized thing and should be commended during the Berlusconi and even the predecessor to Berlusconi did their own contribution until we achieved this result. The Third World calls for compensation, why? So that we don't have any more colonizations, so we don't have a repeat of colonizations. And so that no country will be big and will covet (ph) to colonize another country. So that this country will

know that there will be compensation, and will not go on (inaudible). Colonization should be eliminated, and countries should pay compensations who have done damage to the peoples during the colonization area, and they should be compensated for the damage and the suffering that they have inicted during their colonial power. The other point I would hope that we have to face patiently but before I say this point, it s is rather sensitive to a certain extent. There are sentences between two brackets I would like to shed some light upon and mention. We as a matter of fact that we Africans are happy, proud, that one son of Africans governs the United States of America, of Africa. This is a historic event. One day that the black doesn't go where the white go and cannot be in a bus where the white is. Now, the American people, the black African Kenyan, young voted for him and made him a president. This is a great thing, and we are proud of that. You are the beginning of a change. He did go for a change. But as far as I'm concerned, Obama is a glimpse in the dark for the four years or the next eight years, and Im afraid that we may go back to square one. How can you guarantee America after Obama? Can you guarantee after Obama how America will be governed? No one can guarantee America. We are content and happy if Obama can stay

forever as the president of the United States of America. The speech made by Obama just before me, it is completely different when (ph) an American president that we have witnessed or that we have lived with or the former Americans, they used to say, and I quote, they say, We shall send you the all the weapons. We shall send you the road clusters and the sandstorms and the rolling thunder, and we shall send you the poisonous roses to the Libyan children. This was the logic. The American presidents used to say to us, they shall terrorize us. We shall send you the like rolling thunder like the one was sent to Vietnam. We shall send you rolling thunder the same way that was sent to Vietnam, and the sandstorm like it was sent to Iraq. We shall send you the night (ph) as it was sent to Egypt in 1956 even though America was against the night operations. And we shall send you the poisonous rose that Reagan sent to the Libyan children. Can you imagine the president of a permanent country, a big country has a permanent seat at the Security Council, has a right to veto? We thought that America will protect us and send us peace. What is it? These are lesser-guided bombs sent to us according to the carried on the F-1 airplanes. This was the logic. And we shall

lead the world, and we shall punish anyone who anyone whether they like it or not. We shall punish anyone who will be against us. Now, what our son Obama said is completely different today. He's calling for the seriously, for discardment (ph) or the deproliferation (ph) of nuclear weapons, and we should applaud that. America cannot solve the problem alone, and the whole world should come together. And he said that the position we are at now, we should not continue. Now we are meet (ph) and making a speech it should not be like that. We accept it. We applaud it. And then the United Nations also we come here to United Nations to talk against each other. It's true that we come here, we should have equal footing and equal unions and equal associations, and he says that democracy we should not be imposed from outside. So, the reason there is the American president who recently says that we should impose democracy against Iraq and against so on, so on, so on. He did say that this is an (inaudible) of everybody. This was lost (ph) words, and what we hear right now is the true sense of the word when he said that democracy cannot be imposed from outside. So, we have to be cautious, and before I just say my sensitive remark or the whole the whole world has so many problems (ph).

Shh, whole world, shh, listen, listen. World of so many problems (ph). Should be like that, should we have so many problems (ph)? Can't we nations on equal footing? Can't we let's have an answer. Anyone have an answer that it is better to have a world of so many polarities? Why cant we have equal standing? Should we have a patriarch (ph)? Should we have bombs? Should we have guns? Is it and this is why should we have a world of so many polarity? We reject - we accept - we don't - we do not accept that a world living not equal, big and small. The other point that is sensitive, the quarters of the United Nations. Please, can I have your attention? Please, can I have your attention? All of you came across the Atlantic, crossing the Atlantic oceans, the Asian continent or the African continent to reach this place. Why? Is this the Jerusalem? Is this the Vatican? Is this Mecca? All of you are tired, having jet lag, suffering from jet lag, tired, had sleepless night, and very tired and physically speaking, you are very low. One just arrived now, ying 20 hours, and then you want him to make a speech and talk about this. All of you are asleep. All of you are tired. It is clear that all of you are lacking the energy because of having to travel a long

journey. Why do that? Your country now, some of our countries are in nighttime, and they are asleep, and now you should be asleep because your biological hour or your biological mind is accustomed to be asleep at this time. I wake up 4:00 at New York time, before dawn, because in Libya it is 11:00 in the morning. Because when I wake up at 11:00, I am supposed to be daytime. At 4:00 I'm awake. Why do you think? Why do you think, why? Think about it. If this was put in 1945, should we keep it up to now? Why can't we think about a place that is in the comfortable? The other point, America, the hosting country, that bears the consequences the expenses and the looking after the headquarters and the looking after the peace and security of heads of state who come here, very strict, and they spend a lot of money and New York and all of America being very tired. I want to relieve America from this hardship. We should thank America, and we say to America, thank you for all the trouble that incurred upon itself. And we say thank you to America. We want to help America. We want to make America secure and New York secure, and we should not have the responsibility of looking after the security. Perhaps somebody would do any terrorists will make an explosion or a bomb of an aircraft or a president or an American,

and then this place is a target by targeted by the Al Qaida. This very same place, the same building. And if it was and why? Because on the 11th of September, it did not hit it. That was beyond their power. And the next target, that would be and I'm not saying this out of the record that we have tens of members of Al Qaida being detained in the Libyan prisons and (inaudible), very scary. And this makes America lives in under tension, and perhaps you never know what will happen. Perhaps America will be targeted again by a rocket, or by perhaps tens of heads of state will die. We want America, to relieve America from this worry, and we shall take the place to a place where it is not targeted. Now, after 50 years, should be taken to another part of the hemisphere. Fifty years in the western hemisphere. Now for the next 50 years should be in the eastern hemisphere or in the middle hemisphere, like this by rotation. Now 64 years now, now we have extra 14 years over the 50 years that the quarters should have been taken from this. This is not any insult to America. This is a service to America. We should thank America. This was possible in 1945, but we should not accept it now. And, of course, this is also put for vote in the General Assembly. Only in the General Assembly,

because Article 23 of the of the agreement 64, it says that (inaudible). After the America has the right to make any tight securities because America is targeted by the terrorists and by Al Qaida. America has the right to be to take all the security measures. We are not blaming America for that. But we don't tolerate these measures. We don't have to come to New York. And we don't have to be submitted to all these measures. One president told me that your copilot should not come to America because there is restrictions. He said, how can I come how can I cross the Atlantic without a copilot? Why, why? He doesn't have to. He doesn't have to come here. When another president complained that his guard cannot his honor guard cannot come because there is some misunderstanding in his name and granting him a visa. He came one other president came and said, my own doctor, he couldn't get a visa, and he could not come to America because he was not granted an entry visa. You see, the security measures very strict. And, of course, if there is any problem that a country has with America, then they will put restrictions for the movement of the member delegations like in Guantanamo. Is this a member state of the United Nations or he is a prisoner in the Guantanamo camp that he cannot allow free movement?

So, this is what is submitted for voting for the United for the General Assemblies. The transformation or the moving of the headquarters. If 51 percent say, then we come to the second vote. To the middle of the globe or to the eastern part of the globe. If we say that we have to take the headquarters, then certain the place is (inaudible). Whether the middle whether the center hemisphere. Why don't we go to (inaudible). If you go to 1,000 (inaudible), and no one can blame you? And no you can come even without a visa. Once you come with a president, it's a secure country (ph). We are not going to restrict you to 100 or 500 meters, and Libya has no hostile actions against anybody. And again, I think we'll be in the same positions. And if the vote, it say that we shall have to take the vote to the eastern part, then it will be Delhi or Beijing in China, the capital of China or the capital city of India. And this is logic, I believe, my brothers. And I don't think there will be any objection to that. And then you will play you will say that thank you will thank me for this proposal for eliminating the suffering and the trouble of ying over 20 hours and 15 hours to come to this place, and no one can blame America, can say that America will reduce its contribution to the United Nations.

No, nobody should have this bad thought. America, I'm sure, will be committed to its international obligations, and America will not be angry, and America will thank you for alleviating the hardship of America. And America should thank us for taking all the hardship and all the restrictions for the this, plus even though this place is targeted by terrorists. Then we come to the we come to the issues that will be taken by the General Assembly. Either we have to try ourselves. Either we do the right thing, or whether we have a new meeting. This is not a normal meeting. This is not a normal gathering. This is even my son, Obama said that. He said that this is a historical one. This is not a normal gathering. This is not a normal one. Now, the wars that took place after the establishment of the Second World War, why did it happen? Where was the Security Council? Where was the charter? Where was the United Nations? There should be investigations, and there should be court orders. And why there was massacres? We start with the Korean War. This was taken after the establishment of the United Nations.

How a war broke out and millions of people fell victims, and perhaps there was even a nuclear a nuclear the world was about the world was about to witness a nuclear war. And those who are responsible, and those who caused the war should be tried and should pay the consequence. Then we come to the Suez Canal war in 1956. The le should be opened. Why three countries who have permanent seats in the Security Councils enjoyed the right, the veto of the Security Council's attack, a member state in this General Assembly? A country that is Egypt in this case, that was a sovereign state, was attacked and the army was destroyed. And thousands of Egyptian people were killed, and towns, villages were destroyed. How could such a thing happen during the era of the United Nations? And how can we guarantee that such a thing will not be repeated unless we redeem the past? And this is a very dangerous thing. The Suez Canal war, the Korean War, we should open the les. And then we come to the Vietnam War. Three million victims of the Vietnam War. During 11 days, bombs were used more than the bombs used during the whole war. And during the Second World War, all the shells and the bombs that were used, or bombed

during the four years of the war, the bombs that were used in the 12 days were more than. This was a erce war. And this war took place after the establishment of the United Nations. And we decided that there would be no wars. This is the future of the mankind, and we cannot keep quiet. How can we be how can we be safe? How can we feel accomplished? How can we feel complacent, I mean. This is the future of the world and this is the General Assembly of the world, and we have to make sure that such wars will not be repeated in the future. Then Panama was attacked, even though it was an independent state, a member state of the General Assembly, of the United Nations. And 4,000 peoples were killed, and the president of this country was taken as a prisoner and was taken put in prison. And Noriega should be released, and we should open the le. And how we give the right to a country that is a member state of the United Nations to go and wage a war against a country and take the president of such a country and take him as a criminal and put him in prison? Who would accept that? This may be repeated. And we should not be quiet, and we should make investigations,

and we should each one of us may face the same destiny. Each member state of us may face the same, especially if this aggression is made by a member state that is has a member seat in the Security Council and supposed to look and maintain the world peace security. Then we have the Grenada war. This country was attacked, was invaded even though it was a member state, by 7,000 - 5,000 warships and using 7,000 troops. It is the smallest country in the world. And after the establishment of the Security Council, after the establishment of the United Nations, and the (inaudible). And the president of this country, Maurice Bishop, was assassinated. How this can be done with impunity? This is a tragedy. And then how can we guarantee that the United Nations is good or not, that the Security Council is good enough? Can we be safe and happy about our future or not? Can we trust the Security Council or not? Can we trust the United Nations or not? Then we have to check and investigate the bombing of Somalia. Somalia was a member state of the United Nations. It is an independent country. And (inaudible).

Why? Who allowed that? Who gave the green light for such a country to attack to be attacked? Then the Yugoslav war. No country that is peaceful country like Yugoslavia, that was built that was built step by step, piece by piece, after it was destroyed by Hitler. We destroy it as if we are doing the same job like Hitler. Hitler after the death of Tito and he built this country step by step and brick by brick, and then we come and dismember it for imperialist personal interests. How can we be satised? How can we be happy? If a peaceful country like Yugoslavia faced this tragedy, the General Assembly should make investigations and the General Assembly should decide who should be tried for the (inaudible). Then we come to the Iraqi war, the mother of all evils. The United Nations also should investigate. The General Assembly presided by (inaudible) should be investigated by the General Assembly, the invasion of Iraq itself. This was in violation of the United Nations charter without any justications made by several countries who have member seats in the Security Council. Iraq is an independent country, member in this General Assembly. How this country is

attacked and how this country how we have already read in the general in the in the charter that the United Nations should have interfered and stopped. We have come to General Assembly, and we have resorted to the General Assembly. We said that we should go to the General Assembly and use the charter for the checking (ph). We were against this invasion of Kuwait, but Arab countries fought with foreign countries in the name of the General Assembly with foreign countries. In the rst place, the U.N. charter was respected. And the second time we wanted to use to it stop the war against Iraq, no one used the U.N. charter. And it was discarded in the dustbin. Why? General Assembly should investigate. Why? Why there was any reason to invade Iraq? Because it is mysterious, ambiguous, and we may face the same destiny. Why did we invade Iraq? The invasion in itself is a serious violation of the U.N. charter. I mean, the invasion itself, per se, is wrong. Then the total massacre, or the genocide. More than 1.5 million Iraqi people were killed. We want the we want to take this le and we want to those who have committed the general mass murder against the Iraqi people should be tried. Yes.

Make it easy for (inaudible) to go to be tried, or Bashir to be tried. Or it is easy for (inaudible) to be tried, or Noriega to be tried. That is an easy job to be done. OK. What about those who have committed mass murder against Iraqis? Cannot be tried? Cannot go to the we should not accept it. Either it is meant for all of us, big or small, or we should not accept it and refuse it. If anyone who commits a crime and can be tried, we are not animals in the livestock, or in that we slaughter we have the right. We are ready to ght. We are ready to defend ourselves. And we have the right to live dignied under the sun, on the Earth, and they have already tested us, and we can put up to test. The other thing, how come that prisoners of war of Iraq can be sentenced to death? Then when Iraq was invaded and the president of the Iraqi war was caught, it was made as a prisoner of war. He should not be tried. He should not be hanged. And after the end of war, he should be released. So, we want to know why the prisoner of war have been tried or should have been tried. Who sentenced to death the president of Iraq? Is there an answer to that? We know who tried who tried him, the name of the judge, the identity of the judge. Who

put on the sacrice day the rope around the neck and killed or hanged the president? People we dont know, they have a mask over their face. If this is a civilized war, these are prisoners of war under civilized countries, under the international law. How a member of a government and the president of a country should be sentenced to death and hanged, do they have the right? Are they legal people? Are they a member of a judicial system? Do you know what other people say or what the people say? People say that the American president and the president the British president are wearing the masks, and they have already put to death the president of Iraq. This is why don't they uncover their face? Why don't we know their ranks? Why don t we know, is he an ofcer or a judge, a doctor? Who is he? How come a president of a country, a member state, is sentenced to death and killed? We don'tknow the identity. Those countries, the implementation the United Nations has the duty to answer these questions. Who have exercised or implemented the death sentence? Those foreigners, they should have the legal status (ph), and they should have the legal status (ph), and we should know the identity

of the presence of the doctor, and all the legal procedures should be, even for a layman, let alone as the president of a country, a member state in the United Nations to be sentenced in such a way and put to death in such a way. This is the Iraqi war. Point number three in the Iraqi war is the Abu Ghraib situation, which is a disgrace to mankind. I know America made the investigations for this scandal, or the authorities under the Americans, but the United Nations also should not forget it. The United Nations should the General Assembly of the United Nations should investigate and look into this matter. The Abu Ghraib decisions, the prisoners of war who were prosecuted there and who were badly treated, and dogs were used on them, and men were made love to. And no one has done this before in previous wars, sodomy, and this is unprecedented. No one no previous aggressions, or no or aggressors and prisoners of war, there are there are soldiers, and they are raped in prisons. Then by a member state of the Security Council, this Security Council, this is against civilization. And this is a humane kind, and we should not keep quiet. We should know the facts.

And up to now, a quarter of a million prisoners are still men and women are in Abu Ghraib. They are badly treated and persecuted and raped. We should never forget, and we should open an investigation for that. Then Afghanistan. Then we have the Afghani war. There should also be an investigation for the Afghani war. Why are we against Taliban? Why are we against Afghanistan? Who's Taliban? If Taliban wants to make a religious state, OK, like the Vatican. Does the Vatican pose any threat to us? No it is a very peaceful, religious state. If the Afghans want to establish an Islamic emirate let it be like the Vatican. Who said the taleban are the enemy and has to be struck by the armies? Is bin Laden an Afghan. Is he a taleban. Bin Laden is not from the taleban and not from Afghanistan. The terrorists who struck New York? Are they Afghans? Are they from the taleban? No they are not Afghani and they are not from the taleban. So why were Iraq and Afghanistan targeted? If I want to deceive my American and English friends I would not tell them this.

But I would encourage them and tell them go on, send more troops to Afghanistan and send further troops until they drown in a blood bath because they will achieve no result in Afghanistan or in Iraq. You have seen what happened in Iraq. That took place even though Iraq is a wide open desert. Then what do you think of Afghanistan with these mighty mountains. No one could defeat it till the hereafter. They are just hitting the rock. They will scratch it but they will not demolish it. Continue the war in Afghanistan in Iraq. But I want to save them. I want to say these hapless nations. America and the other countries that ght in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are saying you have to leave Afghanistan for the Afghanis. You have leave Iraq for the Iraqis. Leave them even if they ght each other. They are free to do so. The civil war took place even in the USA. Nobody interfered. The civil war also took place in Spain and in China and in many parts of the world and nobody interfered. If it is a civil war let it go on. Leave it for the Iraqis and for the Afghans to ght each other, they are free. Who says that if the taleban rule Afghanistan they will become a threat? Do the taleban have any intercontinental missiles? The airliner that hit New York. Did it come from Afghanistan or Iraq. These airliners took off from Kennedy airport in

New York. So why do we go and strike Afghanistan. They are not Afghans, not taleban, nor Iraqis. Why should we keep silent about these things. Those who keep silent regarding what is right is like a silent devil. We won't be silent devils. It is our right because we are keen on world peace. We are keen on the destiny of the world. We do not want to undermine humanity in this manner. Then after that Mr Ali Tereki, the general assembly has to launch investigations of the assassinations. You have to launch an investigation once again on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. We want this recorded in our African history. How an African leader, an African liberator was assassinated. We want to establish who killed him and to record that for history so that our sons will learn history and they will known why Patrice Lumumba the hero of African-Congolese liberation was killed. Even after 50 years. And that act has to be denounced and those responsible have to be held accountable. This le has to be opened and we have to go back to the old documents. Then we would like to know who killed the UN Secretary General Hamashold. Who bombed his aircraft in 1961, the same year in which Lumumba was killed. We want to know who bombed the plane of the UN Secretary General. We want to know who bombed it and who had an interest in that. Then we come to Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The UN General Assembly has to open

the le of Kennedy's assassination. We want to know why he was killed. He was killed by someone called Lee Harvey and someone called Jack Rubbi killed Lee Harvey, the assasin of Kennedy. We want to know why this Jack Rubbi, the Israeli, killed the assassin of Kennedy. And Jack Rubbi himself, the killer of Kennedy's killer also died in vague circumstances before his trial. We have to return to these les and we have to know. What I know and what the world knows and what we studied in history is that Kennedy decided to inspect the Israeli Dimona reactor to see whether it has nuclear bombs. That is the reason he was got rid of. As long as the case in international in this manner and it concerns world peace and weapons of mass destruction we have to open investigations into the reason why Kennedy was killed. You should also open the le of Martin Luther King. This vicar who was a black activist and human rights campaigner and his assassination was a conspiracy. This le has to opened to establish who killed him and prosecute him. And further more who killed Khalil Al Wazir the Palestinian Abu Jihad. He was attacked in a sovereign country, a member of this assembly. That is Tunisia where he stayed in its captial. But there was an attack by four warships, two submarines and two helicopters. The independence of that state was not respected as is clear from the assassination of Khalil Al Wazir.

How could we keep silent about such matters. If we keep silent there could be submarines coming to our countries and we could see warships coming to our coasts and pick up anyone they like without being held accountable. Then we have the death of Abu Ayad. He was killed in very ambiguous circumstances. Then we have operations such as Al Fardan Operation and the Youth Spring Operation where Kamal Nasser was killed and where Kamal Udwan and Abu Yousif Al Najar were killed. These three Palestinians were killed in Lebanon which is a sovereign state and member of the UN General Assembly. We have to establish who killed them. We have to prosecute them so that such havoc is not repeated. You would like to know as well why Maurice Bishop the head of Grenada was killed. We have tackled how Grenada was attacked, with how many war ships and troops. We said they launched an attack on Grenada with 7,000 soldiers, 15 war ships and scores of ghter planes. The president of this member state of the general assembly Maurice Bishop was killed. We can't keep silent about these crimes. Otherwise we will all become victims and sacrices and every year it would be the turn of someone. We are not animals and we are not sacrices. We are defending our existence, we are defending ourselves our sons and our grandsons. We are not afraid. We have the right to live. This globe is not only for

the super powers. God created it for all of us. We should never live in humiliation. Then we have to open investigations into the evil massacres of Sabra and Shhatila which claimed 3,000 human victims. This village was under the protection of the occupying Israeli army. Then a massacre was carried out of Palestinian men, women and children. Most of them were Palestinians. How could we keep silent. Lebanon is an independent state and a member of this assembly. The area of Sabra and Shatila was occupied and 3,000 were slaughtered. Then there is the massacre of Gaza in 2008. And for your information there were a thousand woman killed an injured. And 2,200 children. It means that there were 3,200 women and children only. Fifty educational centers belonging to the UN were demolished. Thirty nongovernmental organizations were demolished including international relief organizations. Sixty clinics were demolished.. Forty doctors and nurses were killed while they were doing their humanitarian work. That was the outcome the Gaza massacre in December 2008. The culprits are still living. They have to be prosecuted in the international criminal court. But if the International Criminal Court is only targeting the smaller states and Third World countries this is not right. Those culprits have to be tried in the court unless it was not international. Then we

would not recognize it. If it is international everybody is subjected to it. As long as the International Court of Justice is not respected and its rulings not implemented and as long as the International Atomic Energy Agency does not include all countries and the general assembly is doing nothing and the Security Council is monopolized then the United Nations is nothing. There is no United Nations. Then we come to piracy. This phenomenon may spread to all the seas. It could become a threat like terrorism. Let us tackle Somali piracy. I am telling you the Somalis are not pirates. The pirates are ourselves because we exploited all the shing grounds. We undermined their livelihood. We undermined their economies and their regional waters. All the ships of the world, whether from Libya, India, Japan or America exploited Somali waters and we are the aggressors. After the Somali state collapsed we came to pick up the remnants. The Somalis had to defend their marine wealth which is their food and the food of their children. Then they transformed themselves into pirates to defend themselves. They are not pirates. They only defend their livelihood. And now you are handling it in the wrong way. You are saying let us send warships to strike the Somalis. No. warships should go to strike the pirates who undermined the Somali wealth and resources. You have to strike the foreign shing boats.

Anyhow I held a meeting with the pirates. I told them I would make an agreement between them and the world. The world has to respect the Somali economy area up to 200 nautical miles according to the law of the seas. All the marine wealth in that area belongs to the Somalis. The world has to respect this economic area. This is rst. Then second, all the countries should abstain from dumping hazardous waste in the Somali economic area of the Somali coast and in return the Somalis will abstain from attacking ships. We will draft this agreement and we will present it to the UN General Assembly. That is the solution. The solution is not more strikes against the Somalis. What is worse is that their warships are preventing the Somalis from going into the sea for shing. This is the wrong handling, this is the wrong approach. Our way of tackling terrorism is wrong. Our handling of matters is actually wrong. If the vaccination for swine u is produced and there could be more us of God or us of sh then the factories that belong to the intelligence operate and they sell at a high price. This is trade. They produce a virus and they spread it across the world so that capitalist companies gain money from selling vaccines. This is shameful. The vaccines are not to be sold. Medicines are not to be sold. You have to read the Green Book. It does not allow the selling of medicines. If we say the medicines

are free and the vaccines are free and no viruses are spread because it is they who produce these viruses in order to produce vaccines. That is how capitalist companies work. This is the wrong approach. You have to declare that medicines are free and not for sale. Even if the viruses are real we should not sell the vaccines. They have to be offered for free. All these matters are submitted in les to be discussed by the UN General Assembly. It has nothing to do but this work. Then we have the Ottowa agreement which bans the production, the shipment or sale of mines etc. This is wrong. The mines are not offensive weapons. They are defensive. The mines do not move. They do not attack. It remains wherever it is planted. That means you went to it. Why did you go to it? I would like to plant mines on the borders of my country because you are aggressing my country. Let your hand or leg be amputated. I urge you to review this Ottowa agreement. This appeal could be seen in the internet, in the website Al Qadha talks. This agreement has to be revoked or amended. They want to deprive us even from the mines which are anti personnel. If I want to plant a mine in front of my home or farm then this is my way of defense. It is not offensive. You may cancel the atomic weapons the missiles and inter-continental missiles.

As for the Palestinian cause the two-state solution is impossible. I urge you not to speak about it. The only solution is one democratic state for Jews and for Muslims for Palestinians and Christians and all others like Lebanon. The two state-solution is not practical and impossible. There can be no two neighboring states which are to much overlapping. Any division will inevitably fail. Firstly the two states are not neighbors but are overlapping from all aspects, population, geography and so forth. There are no states. You cant establish a dividing no mans land between them because it doesn't exist. The West Bank has half a million Israeli settlers. The so-called Israel has a million Palestinian settlers. How can we establish two states. The world has to go to impose one democratic state without any religious, nationalist or linguistic bigotry. Bigotry is reactionary and it is time is well over. These are thoughts of the guard. The ideas of the Third World War. The ideas of men like Yasser Arafat and Sharon. All these are over. The new generation wants one democratic state. We have to exert every effort to impose on them one state where all people co-exist. Look at the Palestinian youth. Look at Israeli youth. They want peace. They want to live in one state. This is the way to end this headache which undermines and poisons the whole world. The White Book has the solution for Israel. You have to consider it,

Ali Al Treiki. (Gadda Throw a book to President of UN at this point) The Arabs have no animosity with the Israelis. They are cousins and they live with them in peace. Arabs have no future. Arabs have no future. The future is Isral (Angel). I tell you again, our future is Isral (Angel). The Palestinian refugees must return and they have to live peacefully in one state. It is you who make the holocaust for them. You burned them down in the chambers of gas in Europe. It is you who hate the Jews but we don't. We have accommodated them, we protected them since Roman days and since they were expelled from Andulsia. We also protected them in the days of Hitler and from the gas chambers of Hitler. It is ourselves who protected them and it is you who expelled them. You expelled them and told them go and ght the Arabs. Let us expose this reality. We are not enemies of the Jews. They are our cousins. The Jews will need the Arabs one day but the Arabs will not protect them as they did in the past. Let us have a look at what Tito did. What Hadrin did. What Edward 1 did and what Hitler did to the Jews. You hate them and you are anti-Semitic. As for the issue of Kashmir in short in has no solution unless it becomes one independent state to buffer between India and Pakistan. It will become neither Indian nor Pakistani and the conict will be over.

As for Darfur I hope that the aid you sent to international aid organizations are transferred to other projects, development, industrial and agricultural. Darfur is now living in peace and there is no war. It is you who blew it up soas to interfere and establish a foothold for the sake of oil and you sacriced the people of Darfur. Why do I tackle all these issues? It is because we have to investigate these issues. Previously you have submitted the case of Al Hariri, God have mercy on him, to the United Nations. Why did you do so? Is it because you wanted to sacrice the blood of Al Hariri and you sold the body of Al Hariri in order to settle scores with Syria. If it not so why did Lebanon, which is an independent state with a judiciary laws and police and everything and could determine who the culprits are. But in this matter it is not the culprits who are wanted. What is wanted is the settlement of scores with Syria and sacricing the issue of Al Hariri and we will get nowhere in the issue of Al Hariri. Therefore all the cases of Abu, Khalil Al Wazir, Kennedy, Lumumba, Hammershold should be transferred to the United Nations as the others were.At any rate the UN General Assembly is chaired by Libya and this is its right. The work that could be done by Libya is to help the world in moving from one phase to another, from this world which is lost, bitter, shameful, terrorised and threatened to move to a more human world where there is peace and tolerance.

I will follow up this work with the General Assembly and with Ali Al Teriki and with the UN Secretary General because we will not be complacent and we will not be submissive regarding the fate of humanity. Humanity has to struggle in order to live in peace. The struggle by the Third World and the smaller states, 100 of them in order to live in dignity and in freedom is a continued struggle and it has to continue till the end. Peace and blessings. Muammar Gadda Hero of the Islamic World who ripped up the UN Charter at the UN platform - 2009 Comments Gadda should be treated with respect (Analysis by Gulf News) After this speech, Gadda become a Hero of Islamic World who show the courage to tell the truths.
