Banking Crimes and Financial Criminals - The Global and Local
Impact
The general public are even starting to wake up and realise that the elite bankers have in fact
been conspiring to rip them off. This is the first realisation and following this leads one to
understand the reasons for and further reaching plans of the global elitists.
Anyone who thinks that this is "an problem for America" is either dangerously uninformed or in
denial. The controlled dempolition of the United States economy is not intended to be a one-off
event. The destruction of the global financial system is not a recently hatched plot, it has been
underway for far longer than most good people could conceive.
This section details not only the financial and banking crimes of the Cabal and their minions, but
also postitive news in terms of exposing and defeating such efforts.
The European Union Initiates Cashless Society Project

January 8 2017 | From: GlobalResearch
A few months back The Guardian ran an article stating that Swedes are blazing a trail in Europe,
with banks, buses, street vendors and even churches expecting plastic or virtual payment as if
the cashless society was something to be celebrated by modern society.
I dont use cash any more, for anything, said Louise Henriksson, 26, a teaching assistant. You just dont need it.
Shops dont want it; lots of banks dont even have it. Even for a candy bar or a paper, you use a card or phone.

Cash transactions are already outdated in Sweden. According to central bank the Riksbank, cash transactions will make
up up barely 0.5% of the value of all payments made in Sweden by 2020.
Likewise and according to The Independent, Denmark has moved one step closer to becoming the worlds first cashless
society, as the government proposes scrapping the obligation for retailers to accept cash as payment because, as they
say, its to do with the burden of managing change and notes.
Strange then that all this is happening in an environment where EUR bank note circulation is still rising.
The European Payments Council (EPC), a subdivision of the European Central Bank, are taking steps in their quest to fully
eliminate all cash. The reason is not to lift the burden off retailers or to make transactions more convenient but in reality to
raise desperately needed taxes.
Highly respected ArmstrongEconomics reports that the EPC are going full steam ahead to enable immediate payment
systems throughout not just the Eurozone but the entire European Union.
The Single European Payments Area (SEPA) has been devised with the ultimate goal of eliminating ATM cash machines
and force everyone to use their mobile phones or plastic cards, the project starting as early as November 2017.
In the absence of confirmed information on this point, it is likely that tourists and business people will be forced to pre-pay
Euros onto an App if they come from a country outside the eurozone, currently made up of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal,
Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.
The final goal of the EU Commission is best described in their own words:
The Single Euro Payments Area (or SEPA for short) is where more than 500 million citizens, over 20 million
businesses and European public authorities can make and receive payments in euro.
SEPA also means better banking services for all: transparent pricing, valuable guarantees ensuring that your
payments are received promptly and in full, and banks assuming responsibility if something goes wrong with your
payment.
This year, meetings and conferences called Towards a cashless society were started to get the information transfer across
to the infrastructure, supported very heavily by the banks.
It looks as though the initial battleground for banning cash will be Greece.
Greek banks propose a series of measures to combat tax evasion, strengthen the electronic transactions and limit
the use of cash in the economy. One of the measures proposed is a special tax on cash withdrawals.
Bankers reportedly stress that cash money can easily and largely be channeled in the black economy. Therefore, a
tax on cash withdrawals will drastically reduce cash transactions and by extension the black economy.
- From KeepTalkingGreece (27/11/16)
The proposal includes reforming the tax system by introducing a revenue-expenditure system. Households and/or
workers will only be taxed on the amount of income that is has not been spent. In this way, people will have a strong
incentive to seek receipts for any expenditure in order to increase their expenditure and reduce the tax amount they will
have to pay.
There will also be an obligation for all businesses and regardless of their size to pay electronically every salary and wage.
There is another tactic in play to push the cashless society even quicker. As Sratfor Global Intelligence reports:
The eurozone has found a new scapegoat for international crime: the 500-euro note.
The Continents leaders are seriously discussing decommissioning the euros highest denomination,
which is favored by crime groups for transferring massive sums across international borders.
Eliminating the bank note could help temper criminal activity, but in reality the implications are much broader. The
idea is just the most recent step in an ongoing process moving Europe, and indeed the world, closer to an entirely
cashless economy.
None of this will go down well in both Germany and Austria who experienced periods of extreme hyperinflation after the
world wars. This, along with life under dictatorships and in high-surveillance societies, has given both populations a fierce
desire to protect their privacy (please note) - something that is afforded by the anonymity of using cash - and to keep wealth
in physical form to avoid relying on systemic institutions.
There is another more sinister reason for forcing a cashless society. TruePublica reported last September that a deal had
been signed by the administrations of the US, UK and EU when it comes to bank depositors. We said that:
Procedures in the event of the failure of a systemically important bank clearly states that depositors are to be
protected that is, until options have ceased to exist.
Next time, the state will be last in line, not first. Depositor bail-in schemes are now a reality.
In other words, if a big bank fails you will be unable to cause a run on a bank by withdrawing your cash.
Indeed, the rescue of Italys Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, reported by all the press as imminent has one other thing in
common, none of them are sure if this will be full or partial nationalisation, state bail-out or a depositor bail-in.
What the authorities want to do is avoid this nightmare scenario that happened on Britains streets: The Economist (Sept
2007 just before the full blown financial crisis erupted) - The queues that formed outside Northern Rock, the countrys fifth-
biggest mortgage lender, represented the first bank run in Britain since 1866.
Related: Washington is Behind Indias Brutal Demonetization Project
The panic was prompted by the very announcement designed to prevent it. Only when the Bank of England said that it
would stand by the stricken Northern Rock did depositors start to run for the exit.
Attempts by Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the exchequer, to reassure savers served only to lengthen the queues of
people outside branches demanding their money.
Bitcoin Surge Explained and The Future Of Cryptocurrencies
The run did not stop until Mr Darling gave a taxpayer-backed guarantee on September 17th that, for the time being, all the
existing deposits at Northern Rock were safe.
In addition to all of this, the use of negative interest rates, never implemented in 5,000 years since the invention of money, is
designed to force money out of the banks and into the economy which can be manipulated simply by changing the rate
when required.
The holy grail of economic measurement is rising GDP, which has eluded the ECB policymakers since the financial
crash reared its ugly head leaving wave after wave of social crisis.
Its answer was to print money and push 50% more into the economy and yet achieved an inflation rate barely above zero.
Taxing cash at ATMs or forcing it out of banks via punitive interest will be the norm in a few years.
Finally, with all money moving electronically the banks and government have another distinct advantage over you.
Eighteen months ago, there was a run on the banks in Greece so the central bank imposed capital controls, highly
restricting the amount of cash that could be withdrawn daily. In the few weeks prior to those controls 45billion
was withdrawn and stuffed under mattresses. This wont happen again if there are no ATMs and cash transfers have all but
been eliminated.
One way to the other in the end, you are not going to be in control of your own money in a cashless society,
thats for sure.
What Is The Obama Regime Up To? + Seven Ways Obama Is Trying To Sabotage The
Trump Administration
January 5 2017 | From: PaulCraigRoberts / Breitbart / Various
Obama has announced new sanctions on Russia based on unsubstantiated charges by the CIA
that the Russian government influenced the outcome of the US presidential election with
malicious cyber-enabled activities.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a report related to the declaration of 35 Russian
officials persona non grata for malicious cyber activity and harassment.
Related: Its A Plot, The Russians Are Coming: Obama Illegally Sanctions Russia for Nonexistent US Election
Hacking
The report is a description of:
Tools and infrastructure used by Russian intelligence services to compromise and exploit networks and
infrastructure associated with the recent U.S. election, as well as a range of U.S. government, political and private
sector entities.
The report does not provide any evidence that the tools and infrastructure were used to influence the outcome of the US
presidential election.
The report is simply a description of what is said to be Russian capabilities .
Related: DHS/FBI Issues Joint Analysis Report: GRIZZLY STEPPE Russian Malicious Cyber Activity
Moreover, the report begins with this disclaimer: DISCLAIMER: This report is provided as is for informational purposes
only. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information
contained within.
Related: GRIZZLY STEPPE Russian Malicious Cyber Activity
In other words, the report not only provides no evidence of the use of the Russian tools and infrastructure in order to
influence the US presidential election, the report will not even warrant the correctness of its description of Russian
capabilities.
Related: 18 Major Scandals in Obamas Scandal-Free Presidency
Thus the DHS report makes it completely clear that the Obama regime has no evidential basis for its allegations on the
basis of which it has imposed more sanctions on Russia.
What is going on here?
First there is the question of the legality of the sanctions even if there were evidence. I am not certain, but I think that
sanctions require the action of a body, such as the UN Security Council, and cannot legally be imposed unilaterally by one
country. Additionally, it is unclear why Obama is calling the expulsion of Russian diplomats sanctions.
No other country has to do likewise. During the Cold War when diplomats were expelled for spying, it was not called
sanctions. Sanctions imply more than unilateral or bilateral expulsions of diplomats.
Second, it is clear that Obama, the CIA, and the New York Times are fully aware that the allegation is false. It is also clear
that if the CIA actually believes the allegation, the intelligence agency is totally incompetent and cannot be believed on any
subject.
Third, President Trump can rescind the sanctions in 21 days, a third reason that the sanctions are ridiculous.
So why are President Obama, the CIA, and the New York Times making charges that they know are false and for
which they have not produced a shred of evidence?
Related: Soros Launches Plan to Bring Down US and Israel
One obvious answer is that the neoconized Obama regime is desperate to ruin US-Russian relations past the point that
Trump can repair them. As the New York Times puts it;
Mr. Obamas actions clearly create a problem for Mr. Trump. The question the New York Times says, is whether
Trump stands with his democratic allies on Capitol Hill or his authoritarian friend in the Kremlin.
Can Trumps foreign policy be controlled by false allegations?
According to the New York Times, Trump has relented and agreed to being briefed by the CIA about the Russian hacking
now that Republicans such as Paul Ryan, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham have lined up with Obama and the CIA in
accepting charges for which no evidence has been presented.
However, a briefing without evidence would seem simply to further discredit the CIA in Trumps eyes.
As I have emphasized in my columns, facts no longer have a role in the United States and its empire. Allegations alone
suffice, whether in court cases, interrogation centers, foreign and domestic policies, or classrooms.
The US even bases its military invasions on false allegations - weapons of mass destruction. Indeed, the entirely
of US foreign policy since the Clinton regime has been based on nothing but false allegations.
The Russian government should have learned by now, but perhaps Moscow still thinks that facts matter in Washingtons
decisions.
Possibly we should consider that more is going on than meets the eye. Perhaps the propaganda about the Russian cyber
threat to democracy is being used to prepare American and/or European populations for an incident.
The CIA has morphed into a deep state that uses disinformation and propaganda to align decisions of Congress, the
executive branch, and foreign governments with secret behind-the-scenes agendas. Many books, such as Stephen
Kinzers The Brothers and Douglas Valentines CIA As Organized Crime have described some of these secret agendas.
Related: Trumans True Warning on the CIA
In order to deter Trump from restoring normal relations with Russia, an incident would have to be severe and irreversible.
Rather than accept defeat for their agenda of US world hegemony, the neoconservatives are prepared to take high risks.
The willingness to take risks is demonstrated by the public effort of the CIA Director to discredit the president-elect.
As expected, Putins response to the latest provocation is low key as the sanctions appear to be meaningless on the
surface.

However, in the event that something dangerous is below the surface, the Russian government might want to consider
putting its military forces on alert.

Seven Ways Obama Is Trying To Sabotage The Trump Administration
President Barack Obamas final weeks in office seem dedicated to setting foreign and domestic
policy on fire to make life as difficult as possible on his successor, Donald Trump.
Here are some of the biggest mousetraps Obama scattered across the White House floor on his way out:
Related: Assange: Obama Is Obviously Trying To Delegitimize Trump - Wikileaks founder says source of email
hack is '1000% Not Russia'
1. Betraying Israel at the United Nations: Obamas refusal to block a United Nations vote against Israel, his
administrations shadowy machinations to bring that ugly motion to the floor, and Secretary of State John Kerrys long-
winded broadside against Israel will leave President Trump with a massive political crisis in the Middle East, and quite
possibly a security crisis, if terror groups and their political wings are emboldened by the rebuke of Israel.
Obamas Israel maneuver also damages American credibility, teaching would-be allies that the United States is not the best
friend to have. Americas erstwhile battlefield allies in Syria can teach the same lesson, assuming any of them are left alive
to take the podium.
This comes at the very moment aspiring hegemons in China and Russia are showing their allies how Beijing and Moscow
will go to the mat for them.
Related: Obama Publishes $7.4 BILLION Worth Of Regulations In One Night
Obamas team thinks it was clever to saddle Trump with an international edict the U.S. president cannot easily reverse.
They might not have thought this all the way through, because some of the options that are available to Trump could leave
internationalists, and Palestinian leaders, cursing Barack Obamas memory.
Note that even some commentators friendly to Obama, and sources within the Obama Administration itself, have described
the Israel vote as a deliberate act of sabotage aimed at Trump, because Obama is alarmed by some of Trumps
appointees.
2. A New Cold War With Russia: After eight years of relentlessly mocking anyone who said Russia was a major
geopolitical threat to the United States (most famously including his 2012 presidential opponent, Mitt Romney) Barack
Obama suddenly realized: You know what? Russia is a major threat!
He also awoke to the dangers of cyber-warfare, after an entire presidency of treating electronic espionage as a purely
political problem to be minimized and spun away, because taking it seriously made him look bad. Who can forget how
Obama left victims of the OPM hack twisting in the wind for weeks, because the administration didnt want to admit how
serious the attack was?
But then a top Democrat political operative fell for a crude phishing scam, and the Democratic National Committee got
hacked, so Obama well, he still didnt take cyber-espionage seriously.
He slapped the snooze bar again, because as one anonymous official put it, they thought Hillary Clinton was a
cinch to win the 2016 election, so they were willing to kick the can down the road.
No, it was Hillary Clintons loss in the election, and the desperate push to damage President-elect Trumps legitimacy, that
made the president who politely ignored China hacking 25 million American citizens private data get tough on information
security.

Until now, states involved in cyber-espionage never got anything worse than a few carefully-chosen words of sour
disapproval from the expiring administration, but the Russkies received a sprinkling of sanctions, and 35 diplomats
were expelled.
Russia responded by unleashing an army of ducks and trolls from the depths of the Kremlin. The New Cold War is only a
few days old, and its already weirder than the old one was.
Presumably Obama thinks hes maneuvered Trump into a position that will make whatever rapprochement he might have
entertained with Moscow more difficult, or at least more politically costly for the new President.
Related: Buoyant Putin and Sinking Western Mis-Leaders
The end result might be easier relations between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and a lingering memory of
how little Barack Obama cared about cybersecurity until it was politically expedient for him to freak out.
3. Ban on Oil Drilling: An overt act of sabotage directed at the American economy itself, leaving an especially heavy
bootprint on Alaska. Smug administration flacks spent the past couple of weeks assuring media talking heads that
Obamas unprecedented abuse of an obscure law was impossible for his successor to reverse.
Its like they stayed up all night, looking for executive actions that cant be undone by the new President four weeks later.
(Amusingly, Obama dropped this bomb on our energy sector just a few weeks after publicly advising Trump not to abuse
executive orders.)
Its likely that legions of lawyers will battle throughout 2017, and perhaps beyond, to determine if Obamas latest poke at
Trump (as Politico put it) really is irreversible. What a lovely parting gift from the departing President to the country that
elected him twice: a pile of gigantic wealth-destroying lawsuits!
4. National-Monument Land Grab: The other theoretically irreversible presidential edict discovered by Obamas
munchkins is the ability to designate national monuments. Another 1.65 million acres in Utah and Nevada was yanked off
the market in the last week of December, bring Obamas Antiquities Act acreage up to an unprecedented 553 million acres.

"This arrogant act by a lame duck president will not stand. I will work tirelessly with Congress and the incoming
Trump administration to honor the will of the people of Utah and undo this designation, thundered Senator Mike
Lee of Utah.
Sixty-five percent of his state is now under the wise and compassionate environmental protection of the same government
that turned the Colorado River into a toxic-waste dump.
5. Eliminating the National Immigration Registry: Just in case Trump got any ideas about using it as the basis for the
enhanced vetting he has promised for immigrants from terrorist-infested regions, the Obama administration killed a long-
dormant program called NSEERS that once committed the unforgivable politically-incorrect sin of tracking military-age males
from violently unstable Muslim-majority countries.
Its highly debatable whether the NSEERS program was of any practical use. When it pulled the plug, the Department of
Homeland Security noted that the post-9/11 program called for collecting data that is now routinely collected for most foreign
visitors, along with more sophisticated biometric information.
Almost everyone saw the elimination of these roles as a purely symbolic act - i.e. political sabotage directed at the incoming
President.
6. The Great Guantanamo Jailbreak: After paying little more than lip service to his promise to close the Guantanamo Bay
prison for much of his presidency, Obama went into overdrive in his last years, transferring over 150 detainees. A shocking
number of them ended up back on the battlefield.
Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week to sound the
alarm about Obamas midnight push to empty out Guantanamo.
The White House has repeatedly released detainees to countries it knew lacked the intent and capability to keep
the detainees from returning to terrorism. The results have been deadly, Royce wrote, challenging the wisdom of
such Obama administration brainstorms as dropping al-Qaedas top bomb maker into Bosnia, a country with
limited security services but plenty of radical mosques and unemployed military-age males.
Related: 2017: The Year Of Microchipping Americans. The Law Was Just Passed
Royces committee has been investigating allegations the administration tried to pay the bomb-maker $100,000 to refrain
from passing his deadly skills along to eager apprentices. Hunting down the rest of the transferred prisoners who transferred
themselves right back into the global jihad will be a job for the Trump administration.
7. Depicting Trumps Election as a Disaster: Lets not forget Obamas acts of rhetorical sabotage, such as describing
Trumps presidential campaign as a crime against American class and racial harmony, or his wife wailing that all hope was
lost for Americas children. Trump himself has taken note of the many inflammatory President Obama statements and
roadblocks.
Its hard to remember a previous instance of the outgoing president attacking the legitimacy of his successor this way,
especially during the transition, before the new chief executive has actually done anything.
And its probably not over yet. The time for big executive orders is growing short, but Obama is always just one day away
from calling a press conference and saying something else that will make the transition more difficult.

Of course he can still talk all he wants after January 20th, and hes given every indication he wont follow the dignified path
of his predecessors and allow the new president time to chart his own course, but theres no substitute for the bully pulpit of
the presidency.
The timber of Barack Obamas political voice will be very different on January 21st than it was on January 19th. More likely
than not, hell use it before he loses it.

Exxon Mobil Is Fighting To Keep It's Dangerous Chemicals In Childrens Toys

December 26 2016 | From: TheIntercept
Most of us know Exxon Mobil Corp. as an energy giant, which makes sense given that it is the
worlds largest publicly held oil and gas company.
Rex Tillerson, the companys CEO, has spent his entire professional life prioritizing Exxon Mobils corporate
interests over human rights, the environment, and the diplomatic interests of the U.S., all of which has prompted
many journalists and commentators to point out that his appointment as secretary of state is not just a terrible
idea but a joke seemingly ripped from the pages of a Marxist comic book. [Comment: Blah blah blah, if you aren't
properly informed neither will your judgements be from afar].
Related: Yes, women are being poisoned by toxic chemicals from feminine hygiene products
Whats less well known is that Exxon Mobil is also one of the worlds biggest chemical companies, and that its chemical
interests also sometimes run counter to those of people in the U.S. and beyond.
Petrochemicals accounted for more than a quarter of Exxon Mobils $16 billion in net profits last year and wound up in wide
range of consumer products such as plastics, tires, batteries, detergents, adhesives, synthetic fibers, and household
detergents.
Among Exxon Mobils chemical products are phthalates, a family of chemicals widely used to make plastic pliable. Phthalates
are in everything from food containers and plastic wrap to rattles, pacifiers, bottle nipples, and teething toys for babies. More
than 75 percent of Americans have at least five of the chemicals in their body, according to a 2000 study by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Exxon Mobil insists its products pose no harm. In response to inquiries for this story, the company emailed a statement to The
Intercept saying that:
Exxon Mobil phthalates have been thoroughly tested, and evaluations by multiple government agencies in the
U.S., EU, and Australia show they are safe in their current applications.
(The email also included a link to the companys webpage on the health and environmental impacts of phthalates.)
But numerous independent studies have linked the chemicals to health problems, including cancer, neurodevelopmental
effects, endocrine disruption, and adverse harm to the male reproductive system.
Given the risks, Congress permanently banned several phthalates in 2008, temporarily banned a few others, and directed the
Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to study whether several other phthalates should also be removed from kids
products. The law required the CPSC to act within 180 days of its final decision.
An expert committee appointed by the CPSC came out with its final report on phthalates in 2014. After years of meetings,
public comments, and peer review, the panel of scientists decided that eight phthalates should be banned from use in
childrens toys.
Related: Warning: USDA allowing over 20 synthetic substances in organic foods
The report cited studies showing that babies who were exposed to higher levels of some phthalates in utero tended to have
smaller anogenital distances and other reproductive tract problems, effects that were also seen in animals exposed to
phthalates.
Despite the clear directive of the scientific experts and the Congress-mandated timeframe, the CPSC has yet to finalize its
ban. During the almost two years since the deadline passed, Exxon Mobil has been working hard to slow and reverse the
commissions decision, drafting at least one legislative rider designed to keep some of their phthalates on the market and
submitting lengthy comments and objections to the ban.
Exxon has been sending letters, having meetings, theyre just constantly in CPSCs face in a way designed to
suggest that, if you go the wrong way on this, were going to sue you, said Eve Gartner, an attorney with
Earthjustice.
Related: Artificial turf fields linked to cancer in young athletes
Gartner and a few other environmental advocates try to attend these meetings whenever possible, but they describe being
outgunned by the big companys lobbying efforts.
I dont have the time to attend all Exxons meetings, but they have the time to attend all of ours, said Jennifer
Sass, a senior scientist at Natural Resources Defense Council. Theres a lot more of them and they have a lot
more resources.
As a political force, kids are no match for one of the worlds biggest chemical companies, and theyll suffer for the lack of clout.
While the CPSC fails to finalize its own rule, more and more kids are exposed to phthalates.
The inaction speaks to the power of Exxon to frighten federal agencies away from doing their jobs, as Earthjustices Gartner
put it. And that was before the companys CEO had a top government job.

14 Eyebrow-Raising Things Google Knows About You

December 24 2016 | From: NetworkWorld
Some are fascinating, others are frightening - but here's how to find out what Google has on
you. Google may know more about me than I know about myself.
I'm not just saying that, either: I recently started poking around in Google's personal data repositories and realized
that, between my wide-reaching use of the company's services and my own brain's inability to remember anything
for more than seven seconds, Google may actually have the upper hand when it comes to knowledge about my life.
Related: Google Employee Sues the Company for Internal Spying Program
From face-tagged photos of my past adventures (what year did I go to Nashville, again - and who went with me to that Eddie
Vedder show?) to the minute-by-minute play-by-play of my not-so-adventuresome days (wait, you mean I really only left the
house once last Wednesday - and just to get a freakin' sandwich?!), Google's got all sorts of goods on me.
Heck, even my hopes and dreams (which may or may not involve sandwiches) are probably catalogued somewhere in its
systems. And the data itself is only half the story: Google also compiles oodles of stats - stats that, for better and for worse,
shed light onto the tech-connected habits of our modern lives. And don't doubt Apple does the exact same things either.
How many emails have you actually sent over the years, for instance, and how many thousands of web pages have you
pulled up in your browser? It really is enlightening, among other things, to see your actions broken down so precisely .
Before you freak out, though, remember: The only way anyone else could get at any of this info would be if they were to gain
access to your Google account - something two-factor authentication and good mobile security hygiene make highly unlikely.
And remember, too, that all this data collection is completely optional - and very much a tradeoff: By agreeing to let
Google store and use your data, you're getting access to an ever-expanding array of futuristic features at no
monetary cost.

But the decision is ultimately in your hands. To learn more about how Google uses specific types of data and how you can opt
out of any or all areas of collection, see the "Opting out and taking control" section at the end of this story.
All of that being said, here are some of the more amusing - and maybe slightly surprising - things you might find about yourself
by prodding the right parts of Google's noggin. How many of these items actually apply to you depends on which Google
services you use and how exactly you use them.
To wit: Android users who take advantage of built-in features such as voice commands, location history and photo
backups will almost certainly have more data tracked by Google than non-Android users.
But anyone who regularly uses Gmail, Google search, Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome and/or other Google services from
any mobile device or computer will likely find at least some interesting nuggets from the following list.
1. A full history of your voice commands with any Google product - including actual audio
recordings
Everything you've ever said to Google, in one convenient place. OK, Google: Remind me how silly I sound when talking to my
phone (you know, when it seems like no one else is listening). If you use voice commands on Android or any other Google
product (for instance, voice searches in the Google iOS app when you're logged in with your Google account), head to the
"Voice & Audio" section of Google's My Activity site to see and hear a comprehensive list of everything you've ever said to that
inanimate object in your pocket.
And yes, your voice really does sound like that.
2. An objective breakdown of your real BFFs (according to Google)
Data doesn't lie. Discover whom among your Google contacts you interact with the most by clicking the "Contacts" header
on Google's account dashboard. Just be prepared to make up excuses if your significant other doesn't make the "Frequently
contacted" list.
3. How much stuff Chrome has saved about you
Your browsing habits, broken down into indisputable numbers.

If you use the Chrome browser and typically stay signed into it, check out your account's Chrome Sync settings page to see all
sorts of brag- and/or shame-worthy stats about your personal browsing habits - things like how many bookmarks you've
saved, how many tabs you have open across different devices and how many websites you've typed into Chrome's address
bar (since last resetting your browser's history).
Free cookie* if you guess within five points of any of your values. * A free browser cookie, that is. C'mon - what did you
expect?
4. How many Gmail conversations you've had
Provided you use Gmail's archiving system instead of permanently deleting messages, you may be in for a shock: Click the
aptly named "Gmail" header in Google's account dashboard, and get ready to see why your days always seem so short.
Case in point: I have 145,810 message threads in my Gmail account -- with just over 28,000 sent messages. Let me repeat
that: Twenty-eight thousand sent messages. No wonder I never get anything accomplished.

5. A full history of everywhere you've ever been
File this one under "Cool Yet Creepy": Google Maps' Timeline feature contains a detailed diary of your every move -- down to
the minute.
No exaggeration: If you carry an Android phone and have opted into location history, the site will show you where you were
every moment of every day. And if you really want to weird yourself out, open Timeline from a desktop and click the year tab

Top Doctors Reveal Vaccines Turn Our Immune System Against Us + Study Pulled
From Publication After Proving Truth Of Vaccinated Versus Unvaccinated Children
December 24 2016 | From: NaturalBlaze/ NaturalNews
The research is hard to ignore, vaccines can trigger autoimmunity with a laundry list of diseases to
follow. With harmful and toxic metals as some vaccine ingredients, who is susceptible and which
individuals are more at risk?
No one would accuse Yehuda Shoenfeld of being a quack. The Israeli clinician has spent more than three decades
studying the human immune system and is at the pinnacle of his profession.
Related: Nursing student expelled for questioning directives to use threats, lies to coerce patients to vaccinate
You might say he is more foundation than fringe in his specialty; he wrote the textbooks. The Mosaic of
Autoimmunity, Autoantibodies, Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Diseases, Infection and Autoimmunity, Cancer and
Autoimmunity the list is 25 titles long and some of them are cornerstones of clinical practice.
Hardly surprising that Shoenfeld has been called the Godfather of Autoimmunology the study of the immune system turned
on itself in a wide array of diseases from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis.
But something strange is happening in the world of immunology lately and a small evidence of it is that the Godfather of
Autoimmunology is pointing to vaccines - specifically, some of their ingredients including the toxic metal aluminum as a
significant contributor to the growing global epidemic of autoimmune diseases.
Related: Trump: Vaccines Cause Autism And Will Be Investigated
The bigger evidence is a huge body of research thats poured in in the past 15 years, and particularly in the past five years.
Take for example, a recent article published in the journal Pharmacological Research in which Shoenfeld and colleagues
issue unprecedented guidelines naming four categories of people who are most at risk for vaccine-induced autoimmunity.
On one hand, vaccines prevent infections which can trigger autoimmunity, say the papers authors, Alessandra Soriano, of
the Department of Clinical Medicine and Rheumatology at the Campus Bio-Medico University in Rome, Gideon Nesher, of the
Hebrew University Medical School in Jerusalem and Shoenfeld, founder and head of the Zabludowicz Center of Autoimmune
Diseases in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
He is also editor of three medical journals and author of more than 1,500 research papers across the spectrum of medical
journalism and founder of the International Congress on Autoimmunology.
On the other hand, many reports that describe post-vaccination autoimmunity strongly suggest that vaccines can
indeed trigger autoimmunity.
Defined autoimmune diseases that may occur following vaccinations include arthritis, lupus (systemic lupus
erythematosus, SLE) diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, dermatomyosiositis, Guillain-Barre syndrome
and demyelinating disorders. Almost all types of vaccines have been reported to be associated with the onset of
ASIA.
Related: Herd immunity is a myth: Why un-vaccinated children are not a threat to others
ASIA or Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (also known as Shoenfelds syndrome) - first appeared
in the Journal of Autoimmunology four years ago.
It is an umbrella term for a collection of similar symptoms, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, that result after
exposure to an adjuvant an environmental agent including common vaccine ingredients that stimulate the immune
system.
Since then an enormous body of research, using ASIA as a paradigm, has begun to unravel the mystery of how environmental
toxins, particularly the metal aluminum used in vaccines, can trigger an immune system chain reaction in susceptible
individuals and may lead to overt autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune disease results when the bodys system meant to attack foreign invaders turns instead to attack part of the body
it belongs to (auto is Greek for self). If the immune system is like a national defence system, antibodies are like drones
programmed to recognize a certain type of invader (a bacteria say) and to destroy them or mark them for destruction by other
special forces.
Autoantibodies are like drones that are misidentifying a component of the human body and have launched a sustained attack
on it. If they mistakenly target a component of the conductive sheath around neurons, for example, nerve impulses stop
conducting properly, muscles go into spasm and coordination fails; multiple sclerosis results.
If autoantibodies erroneously focus on joint tissue; rheumatoid arthritis results. If they target the islets of Langerhans in the
pancreas, Type 1 diabetes, and so on
Throughout our lifetime the normal immune system walks a fine line between preserving normal immune reactions
and developing autoimmune diseases, says the paper.
The healthy immune system is tolerant to self-antigens. When self-tolerance is disturbed, dysregulation of the
immune system follows, resulting in emergence of an autoimmune disease. Vaccination is one of the conditions
that may disturb this homeostasis in susceptible individuals, resulting in autoimmune phenomena and ASIA.
Who is susceptible is the subject of the paper entitled, Predicting post-vaccination autoimmunity: Who might be
at risk? It lists four categories of people:
1. Those who have had a previous autoimmune reaction to a vaccine
2. Anyone with a medical history of autoimmunity
3. Patients with a history of allergic reactions
4. Anyone at high risk of developing autoimmune disease including anyone with a family history of autoimmunity,
presence of autoantibodies which are detectable by blood tests and other factors including low vitamin D and
smoking.
Previous Reaction
Regarding those who have had a previous adverse reaction to vaccines, the paper cites five relevant studies including the
case of a death of a teenage girl six months following her third Gardasil injection against HPV virus.
Related: Gardasil Fully Exposed: HPV Vaccine Being Tested on Infants Has Killed, Permanently Injured Thousands
She had experienced a range of symptoms shortly after her first dose, including dizziness, numbness and tingling in her
hands, and memory lapses. After her second injection, she developed intermittent arm weakness, frequent tiredness
requiring daytime naps, worse tingling, night sweats, chest pain and palpitations.
A full autopsy was unrevealing but blood and spleen tissue analysis revealed HPV-16 L1 gene DNA fragments - matching the
DNA found in vials of the Gardasil vaccine against cervical cancer - thus implicating the vaccine as a causal factor.
The DNA fragments had also been found to be complexed with the aluminum adjuvant which, according to the report, have
been shown to persist for up to 8 to 10 years causing chronic immune system stimulation.
Although data is limited, Shoenfeld and his colleagues concluded, it seems preferable that individuals with prior
autoimmune or autoimmune-like reactions to vaccinations, should not be immunized, at least not with the same
type of vaccine.
Established Autoimmune Condition
The second group which the paper cites for vaccine exemption is patients with established autoimmune conditions. Vaccines
dont work so well in them, say Shoenfeld and his colleagues, and they are at risk for flares following vaccination.
Inoculations that contain live viruses including chickenpox, yellow fever and the measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine
(MMR) are generally contraindicated for people with autoimmune conditions because of the risk of uncontrolled viral
replication. But inactivated vaccines are not such a good idea either because they usually contain the added ingredient
aluminum, linked to autoimmunity.
The immunologists describe recent studies in which patients with autoimmune rheumatic disease given the influenza vaccine
(without aluminum) suffered more joint pain and fever than controls and whose levels of autoantibodies (the drones that attack
self) increased after receiving the flu vaccine.
Related: How The CDC And Vaccine Court Create An Epidemic Of Autism
Whats more, they developed new types of autoantibodies that werent present before the vaccines, and those persisted. As
the presence of autoantibodies can be predictive of developing autoimmune disease in patients without symptoms, even
years ahead of disease onset, this is troubling to those who understand immunology.
A number of studies claim vaccines are safe for the overwhelming majority of patients with established autoimmune
diseases, the study allows, but they only looked at rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and not at severe and active cases so the
potential benefit of vaccination should be weighed against its potential risk, they cautioned.
Patients With a History of Allergy
Vaccine trials have usually excluded vulnerable individuals - only extremely healthy individuals with no allergies are
recruited. Its a selection bias, say Soriano and Shoenfeld, and has likely resulted in serious adverse events being
considerably underestimated in real life where vaccines are mandated to all individuals regardless of their susceptibility.
The true incidence of allergic reactions to vaccines, normally estimated at between one in 50,000 to one in a million doses, is
probably much higher and particularly where gelatin or egg proteins are on the ingredients list, they say.
Theres a long list of vaccine ingredients that are potential allergens: besides the infectious agents themselves, there are
those from hens egg, horse serum, bakers yeast, numerous antibiotics, formaldehyde and lactose, as well inadvertent
ingredients such as latex.
Related: New Study Confirms That Mercury Is Linked to Autism
Peoples allergic histories have to be taken before vaccination say the researchers. But some signs of reaction dont
show up until after the shot.
The public health nurse or GP might tell patients that a long-lasting swelling around the injection site after a vaccine is a
normal reaction, for example. But that is not what the immunologists say. [A]luminum sensitization manifests as nodules [hard
lumps] at the injection site that often regress after weeks or months, but may persist for years. In such cases, they say, a
patch test can be done to confirm sensitivity and to avoid vaccination.
According to a growing body of research, though, allergy may be only the beginning of many dangerous aluminum-induced
phenomena.
The Trouble With Aluminium
Aluminum has been added to vaccines since about 1926 when Alexander Glenny and colleagues noticed it would produce
better antibody responses in vaccines than the antigen alone. Glenny figured the alum was inducing what he called a depot
effect slowing the release of the antigen and heightening the immune response.
For 60 years his theory was accepted dogma. And over the same time, the vaccine schedule grew decade on decade, but few
ever questioned the effects of injecting aluminum into the body, which is strange considering its known toxicity.
A PubMed search on aluminum and toxicity turns up 4,258 entries. Its neurotoxicity is well documented. It affects memory,
cognition, psychomotor control; it damages the blood brain barrier, activates brain inflammation, depresses mitochondrial
function and plenty of research suggests it is a key player in the formation of the amyloid plaques and tangles in the brains of
Alzheimers patients.
Related: The WHO's condescending tips for EU healthcare workers to convince informed patients that vaccines are
safe
Its been implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and autism and demonstrated to induce allergy.
When kidney dialysis patients were accidentally infused with aluminum, the dialysis-induced encephalopathy (DAE) they
developed neurological symptoms: speech abnormalities, tremors, memory loss, impaired concentration and behavioural
changes. Many of the patients eventually went into comas and died. The lucky ones survived: when the source of toxicity,
aluminum, was removed from their dialysis they recovered rapidly.
With these new observations, researchers began investigating the adjuvant effects of aluminum and in the past decade there
has been a flurry of research. Far from being a sandbag that holds the antigen for a while and then gets excreted, it turns out
that aluminum salts trigger a storm of defence action.
Vaccines: A Violation of Human Rights

The video below is a rational discussion about vaccines with Christina Hildebrand, President of A Voice For Choice,
Inc. where she explains why mandatory vaccines are a violation of your human rights and how they are potentially
dangerous to you or your child's health.
Christina is passionate about ensuring people know what they are putting into their bodies - be it food, air, water or
medications. For the past 12 years, Christina has spent many thousands of hours researching and sharing her knowledge
within her local community.
However, with the growth of the Big Ag and Big pHARMa's influences on US politics, Christina realized that she needed to
take this to a different level and educate the masses on their right to informed choice and transparency of what goes into their
bodies.
Within hours of injection of the same aluminum oxyhydroxide in vaccines into mice, for example, armies of specialized
immune cells are on the move, calling in grid coordinates for more specialist assault forces. Within a day, a whole host of
immune system commandos are in play - neutrophils, eosinophils, inflammatory monocytes, myeloid and dendritic cells,
activating lymphocytes and secreting proteins called cytokines.
The cytokines themselves cause collateral damage but they send out signals, directing cell-to-cell communication and
recruiting other cells into action. If the next phase of the attack is launched: fibroblast growth factor, interferons, interleukins,
platelet derived growth factor, transforming growth factor and tumour necrosis factor might all be engaged.
Theres evidence that poorly understood and pesky inflammasomes, (currently a topic of cutting- edge cancer causation
research) such as the Nod-like receptor 3( NLRP) are activated too, but its all still too early to say exactly what theyre doing.
Related: The most evil people in medicine today
New research emerging from University of British Columbia has found that aluminum adjuvant injected into mice can alter the
expression of genes associated with autoimmunity.
And in their recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, immunologists at the University
of Colorado found that even host DNA is recruited into the aluminum assault, that it rapidly coats injected alum, triggering
effects that scientists have barely scratched the surface of understanding.
The Significance of Macrophagic Myofasciitis
This mobility or translocation of aluminum in the body is perhaps the most disturbing of the mounting evidence in current
aluminum research. In 1998, French researcher Romain Gherardi and his colleagues observed an emerging condition of
unknown origin which presented in patients post-vaccination with Chronic Fatigue like symptoms including swollen lymph
nodes, joint and muscle pain and exhaustion.
Tissue biopsies of the patients deltoid revealed lesions up to 1 cm in diameter and unique from similar lesions of other
diseases. They went to the lab for analysis and to Gherardis astonishment, they mainly consisted of macrophages large
white blood cells in the immune system whose job is to swallow up foreign invaders in the body. Enclosed in the cellular fluid
of these phagocytes were agglomerates of nanocrystals of aluminum.

Gherardi and his colleagues began injecting mice with aluminum to see what happened. Their research published in 2013
revealed that the metal particles were engulfed by macrophages and formed MMF-like granulomas that dispersed to distant
lymph nodes, spleen, liver and eventually brain.
This strongly suggests that long-term adjuvant biopersistence within phagocytic cells is a prerequisite of slow
brain translocation and delayed neurotoxicity, writes Gherardi in his February 2015 review of the relevant
research in Frontiers in Neurology.
A more frightening animal study of aluminum is that of Spanish veterinary researcher Lluis Lujans study of ovine ASIA.
After huge numbers of sheep in Spain died in 2008 in the wake of a compulsory multiple vaccine campaign against
bluetongue in Spain in 2008, Lujan set out to find out what killed them and he began by inoculating them with aluminum.
His 2013 study found that only 0.5% of sheep inoculated with aluminum vaccines showed immediate reactions of lethargy,
transient blindness, stupor, prostration and seizures
Characterized by a severe meningoencephalitis, similar to postvaccine reactions seen in humans.
Most of them recovered, temporarily, but postmortem exams of the ones who didnt revealed acute brain inflammation.
The delayed onset chronic phase of the disease affected far more of the sheep - 50-70% of flocks and sometimes virtually
100% of animals within a given flock, usually including all of those who had previously recovered.
The reaction was frequently triggered by exposure to cold and began with restlessness and compulsive wool-biting, then
progressed to acute redness of the skin, generalized weakness, extreme weight loss and muscle tremors, and finally, entered
the terminal phase where the animals went down on their front quarters, became comatose and died.

growth... explains aggressive vaccine push
Post-mortem examinations revealed severe neuron necrosis and aluminum in the nerve tissue.
The immune systems reaction to aluminum represents a major health challenge, Gerhardi declares in his recent review, and
he adds that;
Attempts to seriously examine safety concerns raised by the bio-persistent character and brain accumulation of
alum particles have not been made A lot must be done to understand how, in certain individuals, alum-
containing vaccines may become insidiously unsafe.
Back to the problem of which certain individuals should avoid vaccination to avoid autoimmune disease.
People Prone to Develop Autoimmunity
Soriano and Shoenfelds identify a final category: anyone at risk of developing autoimmune disease. Since a number of them
have been shown to have genetic factors that would include anyone with a family history of autoimmune disease.
It also includes anyone who has tested positive for autoantibodies which can indicate disease years before symptoms show
up. Vaccinations, the doctors say, may trigger or worsen the disease.
Smokers too, have an exceptionally high risk of developing an autoimmune disease, says the report. The American Cancer
Society estimates that about 18% of Americans smoke. That means about 42 million Americans have an elevated risk of
developing an autoimmune disease and theyre stacking the odds with every vaccine.
Related: Vaccinations: An analysis of the health risks
And finally, factors that Shoenfeld and Soriano associate with high risk of developing autoimmunity are high estrogen and low
vitamin D - which means anyone taking birth control or hormone replacement therapy and, according to one 2009 study of
vitamin D status, about three quarters of American teens and adults should be wary of vaccines.
Shoenfeld doesnt seem to mean to exclude all of these people from immunization, however. The paper concludes that for
the overwhelming majority of individuals, vaccines carry no risk of systemic autoimmune disease and should be administered
according to current recommendations.
Which is in stark contrast to the body of the paper. The final word is cautionary about weighing the potential benefit of
vaccinationagainst its potential risk.
Its exemplary of a strange sort of schizophrenia in a wide range of recent immunology papers. The doctors seem to be trying
to reconcile a century of safe and effective vaccine dogma with the last decades worth of terrifying research findings.
Theres a lot of on the one hand and on the other hand in them.
Related: Gary Null: Are we being lied to about 'vaccine efficacy'?
The new research seems about to gain the upper hand, however. A 2013 overview of ASIA by six immunologists including
Shoenfeld, for example, is a catalogue of vaccine side effects from Gardasil deaths, narcolepsy epidemics, infertility, chronic
fatigue, dead sheep and aluminum-addled brains. It is rife with statements that would have been virtually unheard of inside
mainstream medicine a decade ago. Like this shocker:
Perhaps, in twenty years, physicians will be dueling with better characterized particles of autoimmunity, and the
vaccines may become fully safe as well as effective.
Nonetheless the recognition of ASIA has initiated the change to put more efforts in identifying the good, the bad
and the ugly of vaccines and in particular of adjuvants as triggers of autoimmunity.
Bad and ugly of vaccines? Whats wrong with the adjuvants? Thats not in the CDC hand-out.
Or How About This One:
Despite the huge amount of money invested in studying vaccines, there are few observational studies
and virtually no randomized clinical trials documenting the effect on mortality of any of the existing
vaccines.
One recent paper found an increased hospitalization rate with the increase of the number of vaccine doses
and a mortality rate ratio for 5-8 vaccine doses to 1-4 doses of 1.5, indicating a statistically significant
increase of deaths associated with higher vaccine doses.
Since vaccines are given to millions of infants annually, it is imperative that health authorities have
scientific data from synergistic toxicity studies on all combinations of vaccines
That could be any anti-vaxxer jabbering onbut its not.
But Here is the Topper:
The US Supreme Court ruled that vaccines makers are immune from lawsuits charging that the design of the
vaccine is defective. Thus there is need for innovative clinical trial design and the vaccines themselves should be
redesigned.
Immunologists including the worlds leading authority on autoimmunity are saying it is time to take vaccines back to
the drawing board.
Autoimmune disease is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and now among the top 10 killers of
young American women.
The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association estimates that 50 million Americans suffer from one of 88
autoimmune diseases - from type 1 diabetes to systemic lupus erythematosus - and some research puts the figure at one in
five globally.
At least 40 more diseases are suspected to be immune-mediated. Most of them are devastating - frequently crippling,
expensive to treat and incurable. And they are increasing at an astonishing pace.
Related: Mercury and autism: New research provides yet more damning evidence that mercury exposure leads to
ASD
At this stage, it looks like the more the research pours in, the harder it is going to get for pro-vaccine immunologists to keep
multiple personality disorder or complete nervous breakdown - at bay. Ten years of cutting edge research into aluminums
effects on the immune system has revealed primarily how wrong they were.
And how little they know. If, after 90 years, doctors finally have begun to seriously examine the mechanism and question the
merits of injecting metal toxins into newborn babies, what have they yet to discover? ASIA sounds awful. (Too bad for all the
people whose kids suffered through chronic fatigue when it was just a Freudian yearning to sleep with their mother.)
But what if, like Lujans sheep, the negligible minority that has been paying the price for the good of humanity is actually only
the tip of the iceberg? What if some people with no apparent adverse immune reactions still have nanocrystals of aluminum
silently depositing in their brains? What if ASIA really includes Alzheimers? ALS, autism? ADD? And thats just the As.
Related: New Transmissible Vaccine Spreads Like Virus, No Consent Necessary
Even if immunologists keep wearing their rose coloured glasses, and vaccine ingredients are only responsible for a tiny
fraction of the exploding autoimmunity, the ugly in vaccines will still get harder and harder to ignore.
When everyone on the planet is getting injected, 20 years is a long time for disabled people to stack up while scientists duel
with the characterized particles of autoimmunity.
In the fury over the Disneyland measles outbreak that is gripping the worlds vaccine promoters, time is running out for
doctors and researchers who see the bad and ugly side of vaccines and their adjuvants to do something about it.
Theres slim chance of a vaccine redesign in the absence of a profit incentive and a strong chance of universal vaccine
mandates for one and all - previous anaphylactic shock reaction or not.
Study Pulled From Publication After Proving Truth Of Vaccinated Versus Unvaccinated
Children
The censorship of science is nothing new. In Canada, for instance, there were serious concerns
about the federal governments increasingly strict regulations that prevented scientists from sharing
their findings with the public.
Censorship, on the whole, is a persistently under-acknowledged problem in our society. The election of Donald
Trump certainly showcased the fact that the mainstream media only portrays the narratives they want us to see.
In the latest instance of scientific censorship, an article from a scientific journal was unpublished, but only after vaccine
enthusiasts proclaimed that it needed to be removed. The study, you see, examined the differences in health outcomes
between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
The studys results indicated that:
Vaccinated children were significantly less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with
chickenpox and pertussis, but significantly more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis
media, allergies and NDDs (defined as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,
and/or a learning disability).
From the mothers reports, the researchers found that vaccinated children were more likely to have allergies and
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The team noted that even after controlling for other factors, vaccination remained
significantly associated with the presence of an NDD.
VaxXed Stories: Social Engineering of Medical Professionals

Dr. Suzanne Humphries attends a meeting called "Confronting Vaccine Resistance: Strategies For Success" at NYU
Langone Medical Center in New York, New York on November 21, 2016.
This meetings speakers were Senator Richard Pan, Dr. Paul Offit and Dorit Rubenstein Reiss. Afterwards she comes out to
the VaxXed Bus to share what happened. Camera and editing by Joshua Coleman.
Indeed, those that were vaccinated were three times more likely to be diagnosed with an NDD such as autism. The
combination of preterm birth and vaccination produced an even higher risk of NDD, increasing the chances of it by more than
six-fold.
In the abstract, the researchers wrote in their conclusion;
In this study based on mothers reports, the vaccinated had a higher rate of allergies and NDD than the
unvaccinated. Vaccination, but not preterm birth, remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for
other factors.
However, preterm birth combined with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the
odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples is needed to verify and understand these
unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on childrens health.
Baxter Dmitry from Investment Watch Blog notes that the study was unpublished from the journal Frontiers In Public Health.
Normally, one can still view the cached version in internet archives.
But Baxter says this too was removed, noting that a cached version available on internet archives has also been removed,
suggesting there is a serious campaign to stop members of the public from viewing the study.
Fortunately, a screenshot of the study was saved before the whole thing was scrubbed off the internet for good.
Prior to being removed from the internet, the study was subjected to massive amounts of scrutiny; apparently in this instance,
the use of surveys which are widely used for data gathering somehow invites bias.
Some of the colorful public comments included;
This study is of poor design, though not impossible results. Study relies of self-report of moms, inducing
bias, and, Another garbage vaccine study in Frontiers journal. Scientists, stop reviewing/publishing there.
This, of course, is not the first time that a study that showcased the potential ill effects of vaccines has been pulled from the
internet. In February, the journal Vaccine temporarily removed, and eventually retracted, a study that linked the HPV vaccine
to behavioral issues in mice.
Publishing research that contains information that conflicts with the mainstream narrative continues to prove to be a quick and
easy way to find yourself blacklisted and censored by conventional media. This just underscores the importance
of independent research and alternative media outlets.

our planet for a very long time is gathering momentum by the day.
Remember, the elites modus operandi is to crush any form of hope or belief that things can or will get better.

Truth prevails though and we are seeing the old world order crumble. 2017 is sure to be an exciting year. Continue to dream
big.
1. June 23rd, 2016: Britain votes to leave the European Union. While some are choosing to see this as an extremist act
whose focus was on securing the border from immigrants, there is a much bigger picture to that event.
While it must be said that the immigration issue is in the minds of some who were pro-Brexit (and thus needs to be humanely
and compassionately addressed), the bigger issue was that Britain reclaimed its sovereignty back from the imperialistic
banking and political cabal.

As it has been reported in The Telegraph, a mainstream media outlet in the UK, the CIA and the U.S. State Department have
been heavily involved in the creation of the European Union from the very beginning.
As Professor Alan Sked said in the article: Voters in Britains referendum need to understand that the European Union was
about building a federal superstate from day one.
2. July 22nd, 2016: Wikileaks releases over 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Convention and shows the deep
collusion between the Clinton Campaign and the DNC itself. These revelations ultimately helped force the resignations of the
top 4 positions within the DNC.
3. October 8th, 2016: Shortly after Wikileaks began dumping the PodestaFiles, emails were revealed that John Podesta, the
Clinton campaign chairman, was receiving emails about UFO/E.T. disclosure as well as free energy technology, whose emails
came from former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell.
These are highly significant in the fact that it is admitted by Mitchell that such technologies do exist and that even the Vatican
knows of them.
Once these technologies are known about on an even wider scale, the lies and corruption of the oil industry will fall apart and
humanity can then reclaim its freedom.
4. October 10th, 2016: Turkey defies the banking cabal and signs the Turkish Stream gas pipeline deal with Russia.
Because Russia is in opposition to the cabal, or NWO, as some would prefer, this is a massive financial and geopolitical
game-changer.
5. October 20th, 2016: The Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte visits China with 200 Filipino businessmen to mend ties
with China. He also announces his separation from the U.S. (which is a blow to the cabal) and seeks an alliance with not only
China, but Russia too. The BRICS Alliance continues to grow.
6. October 30th, 2016: Icelands Prime Minister steps down as the activist, anti-establishment party, known as The Pirate
Party, comes in second in national elections and jumps its number of parliament seats from 3 to 10.
As more people around the world herald the call for true freedom, political parties reflecting such ideals will continue to prevail.
The Pirate Party is in over 40 countries around the world currently, and the movement continues to grow.
7. November 4th, 2016: Wikileaks emails reveal the Podesta brothers were invited to a spirit cooking dinner and involved
eating sperm and menstrual blood. While some surely laughed this off, keep in mind that former FBI special agent Ted
Gunderson spent several years investigating and exposing this information to the public, before being murdered.
We must also keep in mind that former BBC star Jimmy Savile was revealed to being involved in a massive, elite-ridden
pedophile ring.
Related: Report: Obama Threatened Putin With WAR Over Election Hacking Conspiracy Theory
The pedophilia and ritualistic claims against many of the elites is well known around the world and is a very serious issue. The
fact that even a small bit of this came out in the Wikileaks revelations is significant and a sign of the times. So much more is
coming.
8. November 8th, 2016: It was revealed by Neil Keenan that several globalists/cabalists, including Mark Carney of the Bank
of England, Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve, the Rothschilds, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and others were
involved in a deal to steal 1 million metric tons of Gold from the global collateral accounts.
As of this writing, the deal has been stopped and it very beneficial to humanity.
While this story might not make much sense to many readers, understand that the global collateral accounts are the cabals
biggest financial secret on this planet. It is the reason JFK was killed and it also relates to 9/11.
9. November 13th, 2016: The European countries of Moldova and Bulgaria elect new presidents, both of whom are pro-
Russia. This is yet another major setback for the globalists plans of creating a superstate out of Europe. Watch for even more
countries to begin aligning with Russia.
10. November 15th, 2016: More than 200 rallies around the U.S. take place to protest the North Dakota pipeline that is
being attempted to form.
The world is continuing to awaken and sees the lunacy of oil and gas for energy. Clean solutions already exist.
What are some other stories that you believe are signs that the elites ship is sinking? Some believe that the election of
Donald Trump is a sign.
Further signs are the recent resignations of Cabal-placed heads of state, namely the resignation of the Prime Minister of New
Zealand, the Prime Minister of Italy and the President of France - all three of which announced their intention to resign their
positions withinn the same 24 hour period.

Viral Image Shows Why The Global Elite Are Panicking - Former U.S. VP To Media We
Dont Need You Guys Anymore
There is a direct correlation between populism growing across the globe, replacing the global
elite one by one, and the fall of the mainstream media. The media has not become irrelevant
because the globalists are falling, but rather the global elite are falling because the media has
become irrelevant.
That is a very important distinction and a lesson learned in 2016 that must not ever be forgotten.
Populism is described as a political doctrine that stems from a viewpoint of struggle between the populace and a ruling
faction. Nationalism on the other hand is defined as patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts.
Globalism is the exact opposite of both. Globalists believe what is best for the international community, should override what
is best for individual countries, basically sacrificing the welfare of a nations populace to benefit the international community
as a whole.
One Globalist Leader Left Standing
With the passing of the Brexit referendum in the UK which caused David Cameron, the Prime Minister, to resign, the election
of Donald Trump in the U.S. as a repudiation of globalist leader Barack Obama, the Italian referendum which
caused the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to resign, and the recent announcement by French President Francois
Hollande that he will not be seeking re-election, there is one global elite leader left standing
Angela Merkel, who has suffered some major losses herself in Germany.
Camerion, Obama, Merkel, Hollande, Renzi at G5 Summit
The image above, minus the X marks on their heads, has been going viral on social media, with messages like Three pro-EU
globalists down, one more pro-EU globalist to go, and four down, Merkel to go, according to the Independent UK, in an
article headlined Last world leader standing: The photo that shows just how much the world has changed in 2016.
Each of these leaders have been seen as betrayers by the populists in their respective countries, putting the good of
others above the good of those they were elected to represent, and each have been repudiated in elections and
referendums in 2016 by the very people they have betrayed with their globalist policies.
Jobs, manufacturing, the economy, all sacrificed by the five globalists above in pursuit of their New World Order, and all but
one will be gone in 2017, with Angela Merkel seeking a fourth term, despite a historic loss in the Berlin state election in
September, which many believe was a backlash against her open immigration policies.
Globalist Cheerleaders (Mainstream Media) Become Irrelevant
The globalist supporting media in each of the unexpected losses had campaigned hard to prevent populism from overcoming
globalism or to rephrase, to prevent the people from overcoming the elite and their agenda.
Before the Brexit vote, the media hyperventilated and claimed the whole world and markets would be thrown in turmoil, in an
attempt to influence the referendum results.
Headlines from before the referendum included Brexit would have huge economic impact and spark turmoil in global
markets from the Daily Mail and Brexit would create turmoil and damage Irish trade, from the Irish Times. One of the most
amusing headlines came from the UK Mirror at the time, who declared Brexit could end Britains hopes of hosting another
World Cup or Olympics.
The same hyperbolic headlines proceeded Italys recent referendum, with promising chaos if the No vote one and Renzi
resigns.
The same type of howling preceded the U.S. elections with dire warnings of what would happen if Donald Trump beat globalist
Hillary Clinton, where CNN headlined on November 6 with:
US election 2016: this is the global market turmoil that would be triggered by a Donald Trump victory, to which
not only didnt happen, but just the opposite occurred, as one day after the election, markets rallied and stocks
soared, with increases still being seen as CNBC reports today that Stocks have been on a rip-roaring rally
since the U.S. election.
One pattern here is that in every case, the mainstream media had attempted to influence the outcome, always in favor of the
globalists, but the more important pattern is that the populace in each instance in their respective countries.. ignored
them.
Ignored the consistent flow of skewed polls claiming the populist candidate or position had no chance, ignored the constant
negative stories being slammed out daily, in many case multiple times a day, against the candidate or position the media
didnt favor.
While polling over the decades has shown an increase of distrust toward the mainstream media, until 2016, they were still
able to influence primaries, elections, referendums and votes. those days are gone, and that is why the global elite are
panicking.
Former US VP to Media: "We Don't Need You Guys Anymore"
Former U.S. VP Dick Cheney recently sat down with Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and CNNs Barbara Starr at
the Reagan Library, and said something horrifying to the mainstream media and the globalists.
Love him or hate him... the truth is the truth. Starr asked Cheney about the language of President-elect Trumps tweets and
after answering her Cheney stated:
I think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He
doesnt have to rely upon, uh, rely upon - this is the modern era, modern technology. Hes at the point
where we dont need you guys anymore.
The laughter from the audience is clearly heard but nothing from CNNs Starr, because those are the words the global elite
and the MSM are all terrified of because they are the truth.
That comment comes at the 3:20 minute mark in the clip below:
Bottom Line
The mainstream media and their fake news, along with their fake polls, using skewed demographics intended to create an
illusion meant to influence the public, has failed, and with it they took the last thing propping up globalism and touting it as the
way forward, in an attempt to create a New World Order.
The term leader of the free world has often been used to describe the United States and more commonly the U.S. President
of the United States, and having a populist U.S. President is a tremendous blow to globalists across the world, so it is no
coincidence that after an election to where the populist candidate won, Clinton teamed up with Green Party candidate Jill
Stein to petition for recounts in the three states that Trump flipped, which if successful would have handed the election to the
globalist candidate Hillary Clinton.
It is also no coincidence that organized protests, funded by globalist George Soros, have been seen across America after the
election or that we are seeing dire warnings of bloody Friday, with reports warning that ISIS could attack on inauguration
day.
The panicked globalists will not give up...
Why Now? Tangled Webs: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, The Internet Giveaway, And
The Wild, Wild West Of Information
December 17 2016 | From: AmericanPolicy
The use of lies and deception, or as the new term coming into vogue; fake news, has been a
standard tool of the trade for over a century by the government and their willing and/or unwilling
stooges in the mainstream media.
A few examples include Newspaper owners William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, with the unspoken
blessings of US President, William McKinley, spreading lies to stir up the masses enough to start a war with Spain.
Related: The Oppression of the Internet is Global

This allowed McKinley to start an American empire by taking over the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico at the close
of the 19th century. In the following decades, the media has obediently followed along coving up such things as the
fraudulent Gulf of Tonkin incident, the governmental attack on the Branch Davidians, 9/11, and the Obamacare fiasco.
In spite of the lies and distortions presented by the government then spread by an obedient media, there were still
some journalists who were doing their job by reporting the truth.
In 1983, fifty companies controlled 90% of the American media, today it is just six multinational corporations. They are
Viacom, Comcast, Time-Warner, Disney, CBS, and News Corp and these companies are working very hard to make sure that
the news you hear is the news they and the government want you to hear.
From the anti-Muslim video that caused the killing of four Americans at Benghazi, lying about the state of the economy
before the 2008 meltdown, to the massive push to promote Obamacare, the main stream media is relentless in pushing the
government / corporatist agenda to its audience.
This control is the dream of every tyrannical state in history and the US government has almost achieved it.
Only, they have, like the American Army in the WWII Battle of Arnhem, pushed their power too far and too fast causing the
American people to no longer trust the main stream media.
In the spring of 2016, a major poll was conducted by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute; they found that just 6% of those polled have confidence
in the main stream media for news.
The bias and outright lies have become so bad that even a 30 year insider like Sharyl Attkisson commented on it:
There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere.
By well-orchestrated and financed campaign of special interests, political interests and corporations. I think all of
that comes into play.
ICANN is arguably the single most powerful institution in the world - Jeff Baron
In every format, the main stream media is losing patrons. From failing newspapers to falling television ratings, the old model is
dying because of the internet.
The Internet has become the primary source for information for a huge percentage of Westerners today.
In fact, in the last 25 years the internet has transformed the world. It has completely revamped the way people do
business, communicate, purchase household goods, plan vacations, find friends, look up information and just about
every human activity imaginable.
Since it first became available for average people, the internet has been a way to find information the elites did not want
exposed and they have been looking to shut down that freedom of information for years.
Subsequently with the support of numerous multinational corporations like Microsoft, Google, Dell, Yahoo, Amazon,
and Facebook along with the blessing from globalist mouth pieces like the Council on Foreign Relations, the LA
Times, NBC, the International Chamber of Commerce and Human Rights Watch, President Obama failed to renew the
contract with ICANN effectively giving the control over the internet to a private company.
That company is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and it is a CA based nonprofit corporation.
In 1998, the Commerce Department began contracting with ICANN, to take over management of IANA (The Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority) and the internets domain name system.
The US Commerce Department has, for the most part, let ICANN govern itself, but it maintained the authority to pull the
nonprofits contract.
In essence ICANN records the numbers (easier for computers to use) using words (easier for humans to use)
through DNS.
Domain name system (DNS) is basically a directory for internet-connected devices that helps translate domain names to
numerical IP addresses. Without DNS it is difficult for people to access websites as it requires remembering large numbers of
IP address, a series of numbers such as 194.66.82.10.
So President Obama just ceded power over the allocation of domain names from Google.com to your churchs website
without the consent of Congress and over the objections of millions of citizens.
Those supporting the transfer are quick to report that there is nothing to fear from this transfer, after all ICANN is a private
company under a global multi-stakeholder group to oversee its Board of Directors. What can possibly go wrong with the
internet in the hands of a private company? Plenty.
ICANN is first and foremost, a complete monopoly. It has exclusive rights to allow and renew domain names and that
is a power it has not always been used benevolently.
It also has complete control over how much to charge for a top level domain such as .com, .net, .biz and several
times in the past, it has abused those powers.
For instance it allowed a top level domain named .sucks to be purchased by the company Vox Populi which charges $2,500 to
protect a companys or individuals name from being purchased and slandered with a .sucks after it, then failed to rein the
company in when it was running an extortion operation.
ICANN has also been accused numerous times of siding with those who have the most to pay its fees and since it costs over
a million dollars to have ICANN officially look into a complaint, not many decisions are overturned.
Another troubling aspect of ICANN is that ICANN has made a fortune off of its rapidly expanding list of Generic Top Level
Domain Names (gTLDs). Names like .lawyer; .google; .africa are going for at least $200,000 each and then annual fees.
The .web domain brought $135,000,000 into their coffers giving them not only a complete monopoly on issuing domains but
the means to create a very monopolistic self-supporting group of elites.
Amazon, the giant online retailer, applied to register the gTLD .amazon. ICANN has written limitations that govern the sale of
a domain name but since the name .amazon does not fall, into any of the categories that are forbidden there should have no
problems with Amazons request.
Only there was, the South American countries of Brazil and Peru, through the interest group Government Advisory Committee
(GAC), declared this application to be illegal, based on the fact that the Amazon River is a geographical area inhabited by
some 30million people.
ICANN sided with the governments proving that the advantage of being a monopoly is that you get to make up rules
as you go along. Amazon is now in the process of suing ICANN over the matter.
The exact same thing happened to the sports company called Patagonia when it filed for the .patagonia domain. The
governments of Argentina and Chile objected and ICANN decided against selling the name to the company.
This trend shows that not only are rules made to be broken but governments are meant to be appeased.
This pattern is more than disturbing considering that since 1998, nations that routinely censor the internet of their citizens
including Russia, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia have pushed extremely hard to place the functions of ICANN under the control
of the U.N.s Russian dominated International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and President Obama may very well have just
handed them their chance.
For, as stated above, ICANN holds a COMPLETE monopoly over the World Wide Web root zone and complete
monopolies in private hands are illegal in most of the world. When operating under contract with the Commerce
Department, ICANN becomes a legal monopolist as it becomes an instrumentality of government.
As L. Gordon Crovitz points out in his article U.S. Surrender: Internet Giveaway to the U.N.?, once ICANN became
independent, they lost that umbrella of US Government protection leaving them open to legal challenges from every despotic
government on earth looking to force them under the control of the United Nations.
Hence President Obama, in another case of: if you want your doctor, you can keep your doctor;
Simply lied again when he pledged that ICANN would not replace U.S. control for a government-led or an inter-
governmental organization solution.
This fact is verified on 10/14/16 When Obama gave a speech in Pittsburg, PA in which he glorified the days of the three major
networks delivering the news that most people trusted.
Obama went on to say:
We are going to have to rebuild within this wild-wild-west-of-information flow some sort of curating
function that people agree to.
There has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some
basic truthiness tests and those that we have to discard, because they just dont have any basis in
anything thats actually happening in the world, Obama added.
That is hard to do, but I think its going to be necessary, its going to be possible. The answer is
obviously not censorship, but its creating places where people can say this is reliable and Im still able
to argue safely about facts and what we should do about it. he added.
There should be no longer any doubt as to why Obama went against Congress and the people to give away the internet; we
can no longer have the wild-wild-west-of-information flow out there to inform the people of what is really going on in the
world.
German Chancellor Merkel, speaking at a press conference with out-going President Obama on 11-17-16, reinforced what
ship we will soon see coming to the internet port; censorship. She christened the surge of populist or right wing politics as a
wave that engulfs us that emanates from the United States.
Look at the European parliament. There are a lot of people who are looking for simplistic solutions and are
preaching simplistic solutions which are very unfriendly policies. We have them here in Europe; too, we have them
in Germany too.
Digitization is a disruptive technological force that brings about deep-seated change and transformation in society.
Look at the history of the printing press, when this was invented what kind of consequences it had, or
industrialization, what consequences that had.
Very often, it led to enormous transformational processes within individual societies and it took a while until
societies learned to find the right kinds of policies to contain this, to manage and steer this. We live in a period of
profound transformation.
Directing her ire against the Germans who are angered with her flooding Germany with Muslim invaders and massive job loss,
she lashed out against PEGIDA, the anti-mass migration and counter-Islamisation movement, repeating their slogan:Wir Sind
Das Volk - We Are The People - the chancellor said:
The most important and noble task of politicians these days is to see that each and every person can find his
place. But those who purportedly belong to certain groups say we are the people, and not others.
In another of those frequent ironies so often dumped on the citizens, Merkel, a former (?) East German communist,
now says of PEGIDA:
At the time when we had [this saying] in the GDR [East Germany] when the people stood in the streets and said
we are the people it filled me with great joy, but the fact these people have hijacked it does not fill me with joy.
How long will it be before other world leaders join Ms. Merkel and president Obama in demanding web censorship?
Certainly foreign media is now calling for it as Germanys Zeit newspaper published a piece calling for controls to prevent a
German Donald Trump, while Britains Independent former newspaper website published a list of fake news sites which
they claimed may have swayed votes towards Donald Trump.
Even the British news outlet The Guardian is in on the fake news bandwagon. That list is the same list being circulated by
Google and Facebook.
Consequently, now, the very instrument that has become the great equalizing force against corporatism/globalisms control
over the main stream media might now become just another weapon in their arsenal of global censorship.
Unfortunately, it is only one of several ways the internet is being manipulated for corporatist/governmental advantage. One
only needs to look at the two most popular search engines and the most popular social media site to see complete censorship
in action.
What kind of drug does one have to take to believe Microsoft is a friend? - Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Google, Bing and Facebook have an unbroken record of suppressing sites, postings and searches that dont follow their world
view. Of the three, Bing is certainly the smallest but being part of Microsoft, perhaps they try harder. Bing claims to be neutral
and in fact, the subscriber can set the search engine to their own preference of conservative; liberal; Christian; etc. so how
can they be biased?
Well the Bing headline on August 16, 2016 for the conservative bias setting in Bing featured three negative Trump articles:
Donald Trump plots strategy on ISIS - and campaign revival (CNN)

Analysis: Making Sense of Donald Trumps Disjointed Foreign Policy Pitch (NBC News)
Early Voting Limits Donald Trumps Time to Turn Campaign Around (New York Times)
The first headline implies Trumps campaign had stalled and needs revival. The second inferred Trumps foreign policy was
chaotic and the third noted that the early vote will give Hillary such a lead that discouraged Trump supporters wont vote.
Microsoft, donated $650,000 to the Hillary Clinton campaign and both Bill and Melinda Gates were considered as possible
Vice Presidential running mates for her Presidential campaign.
This is the Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, whose obsession with globalism and censorship is well known and on Sept. 20,
2016 at a conference in Vancouver, B.C. he openly stated that opposition to globalism is a huge concern, and says the
underlying issues of resistance to it warrant a close examination.
This is the same Bill Gates that along with Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland in early 2015 on the critical need for immigration and more H-1B visas because of a shortage of high tech
workers, and then laid off some 18,000 American high tech workers.
In 2010, China demanded that Google and Microsoft censor the results of their search engines in China.
Google resisted but Microsoft was more than willing to go along. Bill Gates even criticized Googles decision to uncensor their
search engine in China by saying:
Youve got to decide: do you want to obey the laws of the countries youre in or not? If not, you may not end up
doing business there.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer then said If the Chinese government gives us proper legal notice, well take that
piece of information out of the Bing search engine.
Chinese President Xi Jinping also stopped in for dinner at Bill Gates house in September of 2015 before meeting with the
heads of Microsoft, Google and Facebook amongst other business leaders.
So great is the Bing Censorship of China that the Chinese Web anti-censorship monitoring service has gone to great lengths
to show that Bing censors content in China even more than the Chinese State owned search engine Baidu does. But dont
worry; Microsofts support of the ICANN was completely in the name of a free internet.
Privacy is no longer a social norm. - Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook is just as bad. In addition to being an outspoken advocate of globalism and a liberal, Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg is the controlling force behind the most powerful social media platform ever created. Facebook controls the global
dialogue used by over a billion people with an invisible touch that is unprecedented.
Almost two-thirds of American adults get news from social media, with 44% of them getting their news from
Facebook alone.
This means Facebooks algorithms dominate the information of almost half the American public. As Gizmodos Michael Nuez
puts it, with Facebook, we dont know what were not seeing.
And he controls that platform with an iron grip.
Facebook has conducted numerous studies to better understand how information spreads in a social network. For
instance, in 2010 Facebook conducted a secret experiment on 61 million unknowing people by tampering with their
news feeds to find out how successfully it could manipulate the real-world voting habits of those people.
Later, Facebook released the findings and claimed that they increased voter turnout by more than 340,000 people. Facebook
regularly skews the news it posts; in 2012 it manipulated the feeds on 700,000 people without their consent to make them feel
sad and then published the results in the respected (?) scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The results showed fairly conclusively that Facebook had found the key to intentionally influencing peoples emotions. That
year they did the same type of experiment on 1.9 million people to influence the US election. In 2014 Facebook used the
rainbow flag as another experiment to get people to be more accepting of same-sex marriage.
Facebook has made an empire of selling information about every person they can. It openly manipulates
the feeds and posts they allow on Facebook and the posts people are allowed to place for other members of Facebook.
Facebook is now reluctantly being forced to manipulate their algorithm to crack down on fake news being posted on
Facebook.
Though this sounds like a noble goal, the potential for censorship is unmistakable, especially when one looks at the
list of websites they plan on censoring.
The sites Facebook and Google are going to censor as fake was created by a self-proclaimed feminist assistant
professor at Merrimack College who did not like the sites her students citing in their research papers.
Sites like Breitbart; Realfarmacy; Lew Rockwell; Zerohedge; and World Net Daily.
Though all have posted articles that have proven to be false, Facebook has no problem with posting articles from even less
reliable news site like USA Today; MSNBC; CNN; BBC and the New York Times. Google is now planning on using this same
list to censor content. It does not take a rocket scientist to see where this censorship is headed.
In fact, in one of the most blatant acts of fake news to ever hit the news media was perpetrated by the New York Times in
early 1957, when a former war correspondent, Herbert L. Matthews, wrote numerous articles filled with the glories and praises
of a young Cuban revolutionary named Fidel Castro.
Article after article spewing from Matthews typewriter glowed with tales that eventually created a Robin Hood persona for a
murdering communist thug. It cannot be understated how important the fake news was to propel Castro into power. Yet
the New York Times stands as a purveyor of honest journalism according to our Ministry of truth.
The New York Times; Unrepentant Communist Enabler
We know where you are. We know where youve been. We can more or less know what youre thinking about. - Eric
Schmidt
The last of the big three masters of manipulation is Google, and they are arguably the biggest of the bunch. Google CEO Eric
Schmidt is about as open with his liberal bias as one could ever be. The Bilderberg attendee bankrolled a startup company
called The Groundwork to provide technical experts Hillary Clinton needed to run her campaign. Schmidt was instrumental in
getting Barack Obama elected both times as he was the main supplier of technical experts for all three campaigns.
Technology is right up Schmidts alley as Google is the defacto gateway to information. Google averages some 40,000
search queries every second equaling over 3.5 billion searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches per year worldwide.
Google conducts over 64% of all internet searches in the US and over 90% in some countries. Google has indexed some 45
billion web pages while Bing, its closest competitor has only 14 billion.
Of course the 45 billion web pages are only part of the Schmidt plan to control everything on earth. Schmidt has
stated that privacy is an excuse to hide wrongdoing:
If you have something that you dont want anyone to know, maybe you shouldnt be doing it in the first place.
In his plan to deprive you of your privacy, Schmidt has employed some of the worlds top technocrats to find ever
more powerful ways to pry into every corner of your life since Googles business is, literally, mass surveillance, and
they have become amazingly good at it.
They are also a contractor to the US Government, including the NSA and several military contractors as well. When
Edward Snowden revealed to the world the unimaginable world of government spying on US citizens, he also
revealed that the NSA has direct access to the information stored on Googles computers as they do to Facebook,
Twitter, Bing and every other company storing online information on you.
In a US News and World Report article published on 6/22/16, contributor Robert Epstein wrote an extremely troubling article
on just how powerful Google is. According to Epstein:
When Googles employees or algorithms decide to block our access to information about a news item, political
candidate or business, it causes opinions and votes to shift, reputations to be ruined and businesses to crash and
burn. Because online censorship is entirely unregulated at the moment, victims have little or no recourse when
they have been harmed.
Epstein then exposes blacklists that Google wields like Jack the Ripper did his knives with the first being the autocomplete
blacklist. This one is simple enough; it quietly guides the searcher to where the company wants you to go.
From directing away from negative articles on Hillary Clinton to pointing to negative articles on Donald Trump, there
is little doubt that Google had a large impact on the recent US election. In any search you make, the algorithm is your
spiritual guide.
Google maps is a stalkers dream showing just about every house and area in the US and huge sections of the world. They
did not ask for permission to film your house, they just did it.
Military installations and a few other places are excluded but chances are, your house is there.
Googles You Tube blacklist allows users to tag certain clips as inappropriate and Googles censors may or may not remove
them.
However, You Tube is notorious for removing politically and morally conservative videos on a regular basis while

videos will be allowed to be shown in the country.
The Google account blacklist can cut peoples access to their own email account as well as You Tube and other
Google products without any notice or recourse.
The Google News blacklist is insidious in every way. They are the biggest news aggregator on the planet, tracking
tens of thousands of news sources daily and converting them to numerous languages.
They have been accused on numerous occasions of excluding conservative news feeds as well as certain writers and
competing companies. This is an incredibly powerful and nearly unnoticeable tool to promote political, moral and/or religious
agenda.
Google Adwords blacklist is how Google gets the lions share of its money (some $56 billion annually) by selling keywords to
the highest bidders.
These keywords are how the website is found by searchers so if your site does not have them, you are going to sink.
On numerous occasions, Google has simply deleted those keywords on sites effectively making them invisible and
financially crushing them.
The search engine blacklist is a make or break situation for many web pages. Google, for many unknown reasons will push
web page down the list of rankings effectively ruining many businesses in a very short time.
The power to blacklist a site is Googles most dreaded weapon however. Google claims this power is to keep the internet
free from malicious malware which, they claim is a public service. The problems with this argument are many however.
Googles crawlers often make mistakes, blacklisting websites that do not contain malware.
Because of how extensively Google crawls the web, all the other main search engines use their blacklist which means that
once on the list, the site is effectively cut off from public access.
Google has used this power on numerous occasions on people they do not like.
Google even profits from this arrangement as they collect information from every user that accesses Googles results and then
sells it. Google has, for all intents and purposes, become the internet police man and they use this power to further their
globalist agenda on a regular basis and it is now supporting the same list of fake news sites that the British Independent and
Facebook are touting.
Google, Microsoft and Facebook have all three censored users on the behest of world governments and all three; have
consistently censored users for no apparent reason. They, along with Twitter (another social media monster) sided with
Obama to give away Americas right the control the internet.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire
Tragically, the US now finds every purveyor of media has been compromised and censored by those with globalist views.
Once ICANN loses its independence to the UN, the corporatist/governmental takeover will be complete.
Controlling access to information is every tyrants dream and our government is no different.
The main stream media did a masterful job of concealing the 2008 economic meltdown from the masses just like they have
the corruption of Hillary Clinton; the imploding Deutsche Bank; the growing threat of nuclear war with Russia; the threat of an
EMP from North Korea and now the escalating violence of the Clinton supporters after the election of Donald Trump.
It was only the access of the people to alternative news sites that alerted and continue to alert those willing to listen to truth
that news of these events get out at all.
Post-election America is now a powder keg awaiting a spark. The Green Party candidate for President, Jill Stein, started a
fund to recount the votes in three states in hopes of overturning the election of Donald Trump and now Democratic
candidate Hillary Clinton has joined her in what is only going to create a greater rift in our already shredded national tapestry.

This is only a part of the drama as now; the Washington Post has publically called the Drudge Report, Zero Hedge and former
Congressman Ron Paul agents of Russian Propaganda. As if on cue, the call has come from numerous governments on the
spread of hate speech in the US and the call to regulate it.
Which Mark Zukerberg is only too happy to oblige as he outlined a seven point plan to help stop the spread of fake news
on Facebook. So convincing is this fake news that it fools most students a new study finds which of course means that our
very Ministry of Truth will need to decipher it for us. In fact, the media is now calling on the FBI to investigate the fake news
without a shred of evidence to support them.
With a growing population of closed minded bigots unwilling to even listen to opposing opinions or facts, the US is slowly
returning to the Dark Ages with only a few sources controlling access to information.
Freedom loving people everywhere should all be asking themselves why this particular time was chosen for Obama to open
the door for the UN takeover of an already censored internet.
It is past time to look into a ham radio and other forms of communication that cannot be controlled by the elites. Here in the
Pacific Northwest we have an excellent source for information called the Radio Free Redoubt.
Time is of the essence as the days of the open internet are coming to a rapid close.

Climate Scare Declared Officially Over- Error In Model Calculations Discovered

December 16 2016 | From: RickWells
Acclaimed climate realist and former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Lord
Christopher Monckton, has some major news of a breakthrough discovery he has made in the area
of climate science. Comment: How long are the Cabal going to try to bury this latest hit?
Hes interviewed at the Global-Warming; an Inconvenient Lie conference in Phoenix, AZ by Millie Weaver, a
reporter for Infowars.
Related: Inconvenient Truths About the Man-made Global Warming Scam
Moncton is proud to be able to announce that he and his;
Team of very distinguished professors and doctors of science have discovered a major, significant,
substantial error in the way in which the computer models calculate how much warming they would
predict should be happening.
He says, Take that error away and there is no longer any climate problem. You might get one or two Celsius
of warming with a doubling of CO2 concentration but you wont get much more than that.
He says, All the suggestions that were facing some tipping point and suddenly we might see five or six, seven,
eight, ten, twelve, thirteen Celsius of warming for a doubling of CO2, the kind of dramatic figures that have been
appearing in some scientific papers, we can now prove that all of those very high end forecasts of how much
warming we might get are based on an error in mathematics.
Correct for the error and we are back down to a maximum of two, perhaps two and a half Celsius of warming for a
doubling of CO2.
Monckton says, I have been looking for this error in the mathematics for ten years. I have known it was
there but I didnt know what the error was, I just knew theyd made a mistake."
He then goes on to explain in some mathematical detail how he knew it, describing himself as a classical mathematician.

He also has an announcement regarding a discovery by one of his esteemed colleagues, Professor William Happer of
Princeton, who discovered that the central estimate of global warming has been exaggerated by forty percent.
When his result is combined with the discovery by Monckton declares, officially, that the climate scare is over.
Infowars Reporter Millie Weaver interviews Lord Christopher Monckton who reveals a breaking
discovery which may prove the entire 'climate change' scare is based on faulty mathematics.
At the "Global-Warming; an Inconvenient Lie" conference in Phoenix, AZ Lord Monckton covers in depth the mathematical
discovery his team has made and announces that these findings have been submitted for proper peer review.

Michigan Recount Exposes Clinton Electoral Fraud: Half Of Detroit Votes Show Signs
Of Tampering
December 16 2016 | From: RussiaInsider
This is some next-level poetic justice: A Michigan recount backed by Jill Stein and the Democrats,
and intended to deligitimize Trump's astonishing victory on November 8, has actually
exposed widespread fraud in precincts which voted heavily for Clinton.
Hillary even sucks at cheating. Via the Detroit News:
Related: Pro-Monsanto think tank helped funnel Republican money into the Hillary Clinton campaign
Michigans largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials
couldnt reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late
last month.
Most of those are in heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match
those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.
According to state law, precincts whose poll books dont match with ballots cant be recounted. If that happens,
original election results stand.
Its not good, conceded Daniel Baxter, elections director for the city of Detroit."
Understatement of the millenium?

Clinton's legendary "blue firewall"
Related: Wikileaks: Colbert Report Gave Clinton Foundation Control Over Production
Here's the best part: Officials blame the scanners used to tally votes for the huge discrepancies. Hard to believe:
Once they started the Michigan recount in earnest, and knowing he would be exposed, the Detroit City Clerk
Daniel Baxter all of a sudden started claiming that the optical scanners which read the paper ballots did not work
the day of the election.
Baxter blamed the discrepancies on decade-old voting machines. That is his cover story. Nothing like this was
mentioned until he realized their voting fraud scheme would be detected.
Baxters claim is that, when trying to push the ballots through the readers, the ballots would be stuck and theyd
have to push them through again thus ACCIDENTALLY resulting in a double count.
He says the poll workers sometimes FORGET to adjust the machine count and instead let the ballot count
twice."
Sounds reasonable.
It gets worse, though. Vigilant citizens who observed the recount said that there were numerous signs of vote tampering in
Hillary-heavy precincts.

Ken Crider, a 2014 Republican candidate for District 19 of the Michigan House of Representatives, said he watched the
recount effort in Cobo Hall in Detroit with his wife, Penny. In a Facebook post Tuesday, he claimed to have witnessed some
serious ballot discrepancies. Crider wrote:
Penny Crider and I just got back from helping watch the recount at Cobo Hall in Detroit. On Nov. 8th (Election
Day) the election officials at 8:00 p.m. shut down the polls.
They then reconciled the differences from the machine count and the voter count on the computer. At this point, a
Metal tag/seal with a serial number is put on the box and the box was taken away.
Pennys precinct, Detroit Precinct #152 had an unbroken seal and everything looked proper. The tag on the box
said 306 and the book said 306 and the ticket said 306, so there should be 306 paper ballots on the box, right.
Well when they pulled out the ballots the stack seemed short and when they finished separating the two page
ballot to count the Presidential page only guess how many ballots were in the box?
304 no, 299 nope, 200 nada, how about 100 wrong again. There were only exactly 50 paper ballots in a locked
sealed box that again was supposed to have 306. Hmm.
Oh I forgot to add, since there was a discrepancy in the two numbers, the original count stands.
One more thing my precinct (sorry I forgot the number), had 525 votes on the book, tag and ticket and we
counted 525 ballots the election official was praising the Lord Hallelujah we have a countable precinct
Jill Stein had three (3) votes."
In other words: In Democratic Detroit, each vote was counted 6 times!

Just imagine the landslide popular vote victory Trump would have enjoyed if the Democrats played fair on Election Day.

A little simple logic demolishes the CIAs claims. The CIA claim they know the individuals involved. Yet under Obama
the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers, and its pursuit of foreign hackers through
extradition.
We are supposed to believe that in the most vital instance imaginable, an attempt by a foreign power to destabilise a
US election, even though the CIA knows who the individuals are, nobody is going to be arrested or extradited, or (if in
Russia) made subject to yet more banking and other restrictions against Russian individuals?
Plainly it stinks. The anonymous source claims of We know who it was, it was the Russians are beneath contempt.
As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless
times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks there is a major difference between the two.
Related: The Conspiracy to Shut Down Truth, Donald Trump, and The American People
And it should be said again and again, that if Hillary Clinton had not connived with the DNC to fix the primary schedule to
disadvantage Bernie, if she had not received advance notice of live debate questions to use against Bernie, if she had not
accepted massive donations to the Clinton foundation and family members in return for foreign policy influence, if she had not
failed to distance herself from some very weird and troubling people, then none of this would have happened.
The continued ability of the mainstream media to claim the leaks lost Clinton the election because of Russia, while
still never acknowledging the truths the leaks reveal, is Kafkaesque.
I had a call from a Guardian journalist this afternoon. The astonishing result was that for three hours, an article was
accessible through the Guardian front page which actually included the truth among the CIA hype:
The Kremlin has rejected the hacking accusations, while the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has previously
said the DNC leaks were not linked to Russia.
A second senior official cited by the Washington Post conceded that intelligence agencies did not have specific
proof that the Kremlin was directing the hackers, who were said to be one step removed from the Russian
government.
Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, who is a close associate of Assange, called the CIA
claims bullshit, adding: They are absolutely making it up.
I know who leaked them, Murray said. Ive met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian
and its an insider. Its a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
If what the CIA are saying is true, and the CIAs statement refers to people who are known to be linked to the
Russian state, they would have arrested someone if it was someone inside the United States.
America has not been shy about arresting whistleblowers and its not been shy about extraditing hackers. They
plainly have no knowledge whatsoever."
But only three hours. While the article was not taken down, the home page links to it vanished and it was replaced by a
ludicrous one repeating the mad CIA allegations against Russia and now claiming incredibly that the CIA believe
the FBI is deliberately blocking the information on Russian collusion.
Presumably this totally nutty theory, that Putin is somehow now controlling the FBI, is meant to answer my obvious objection
that, if the CIA know who it is, why havent they arrested somebody. That bit of course would be the job of the FBI, who those
desperate to annul the election now wish us to believe are the KGB.
It is terrible that the prime conduit for this paranoid nonsense is a once great newspaper, the Washington Post, which
far from investigating executive power, now is a sounding board for totally evidence free anonymous source briefing of utter
bullshit from the executive.

In the UK, one single article sums up the total abnegation of all journalistic standards. The truly execrable Jonathan
Freedland of the Guardian writes Few credible sources doubt that Russia was behind the hacking of internal Democratic
party emails, whose release by Julian Assange was timed to cause maximum pain to Hillary Clinton and pleasure for Trump.
Does he produce any evidence at all for this assertion?
No, none whatsoever. What does a journalist mean by a credible source?
Well, any journalist worth their salt in considering the credibility of a source will first consider access. Do they credibly
have access to the information they claim to have?
Now both Julian Assange and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access?
Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it
is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness.
Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents
WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth
telling.
Contrast this to the credible sources Freedland relies on. What access do they have to the whistleblower? Zero. They have
not the faintest idea who the whistleblower is. Otherwise they would have arrested them. What reputation do they have
for truthfulness? Its the Clinton gang and the US government, for goodness sake.
Related: The Wisconsin Vote Recount Raised Trumps Vote Count (And the Michigan vote recount found that in
Detroit some Hillary votes were multiplied by 6.)
In fact, the sources any serious journalist would view as credible give the opposite answer to the one Freedland
wants.
But in what passes for Freedlands mind, credible is 100% synonymous with establishment. When he says credible
sources he means establishment sources. That is the truth of the fake news meme. You are not to read anything unless it
is officially approved by the elite and their disgusting, crawling whores of stenographers like Freedland.
The worst thing about all this is that it is aimed at promoting further conflict with Russia. This puts everyone in danger for the
sake of more profits for the arms and security industries including of course bigger budgets for the CIA. As thankfully the
four year agony of Aleppo comes swiftly to a close today, the Saudi and US armed and trained ISIS forces counter by moving
to retake Palmyra.
This game kills people, on a massive scale, and goes on and on.

How To Instantly Tell If Russia Hacked the Election
December 11, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "Moon Of Alabama" - Anonymous CIA officials claim that Russia hacked
the U.S. election by accessing emails from top Democratic officials and then leaking them to Wikileaks.
But the Washington Post notes:
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) voiced doubts about the veracity of the intelligence, according
to officials present.
***
A senior U.S. official said there were minor disagreements among intelligence officials about the agencys
assessment, in part because some questions remain unanswered.
For example, intelligence agencies do not have specific intelligence showing officials in the Kremlin directing the
identified individuals to pass the Democratic emails to WikiLeaks .
***
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has said in a television interview that the Russian government is not
the source. [The former intelligence analyst, British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, and chancellor of the University of
Dundee (Craig Murray) who is close friends with Wikileaks Assange said he knows with 100% certainty that
the Russians arent behind the leaks.]
***
Ill be the first one to come out and point at Russia if theres clear evidence, but there is no clear evidence
even now, said Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and a
member of the Trump transition team. Theres a lot of innuendo, lots of circumstantial evidence, thats it.
Indeed, some cybersecurity consultants claim that its impossible to ever know for sure who is behind hacks of this nature.
But thats wrong
In reality, it would be childs play to determine whether or not the Russians really hacked the Dem emails and shared
them with Wikileaks.

Specifically, Edward Snowden says the NSA could easily determine who hacked the Democratic National Committees emails:
Evidence that could publicly attribute responsibility for the DNC hack certainly exists at #NSA, but DNI traditionally
objects to sharing."
- Edward Snowden (@Snowden) July 25, 2016
But dont trust Snowden
The NSA executive who created the agencys mass surveillance program for digital information, who served as
the senior technical director within the agency, who managed six thousand NSA employees, the 36-year NSA veteran widely
regarded as a legend within the agency and the NSAs best-ever analyst and code-breaker, who mapped out the Soviet
command-and-control structure before anyone else knew how, and so predicted Soviet invasions before they happened (in
the 1970s, he decrypted the Soviet Unions command system, which provided the US and its allies with real-time surveillance
of all Soviet troop movements and Russian atomic weapons) confirmed to Washingtons Blog that the NSA
would definitely know who the hacker was.
Binney told Washingtons Blog in July:
Snowden is right and the MSM is clueless.
***
Do they have evidence that the Russians downloaded and later forwarded those emails to wikileaks? Seems to me
that they need to answer those questions to be sure that their assertion is correct.
***
You can tell from the network log who is going into a site. I used that on networks that I had. I looked to see who
came into my LAN, where they went, how long they stayed and what they did while in my network.
Further, if you needed to, you could trace back approaches through other servers etc. Trace Route and Trace
Watch are good examples of monitoring software that help do these things. Others of course exist probably the
best are in NSA/GCHQ and the other Five Eyes countries. But, these countries have no monopoly on smart
people that could do similar detection software."
In October, Binney told us:
If the idiots in the intelligence community expect us to believe them after all the crap they have told us (like WMDs
in Iraq and no we dont collect data on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans) then they need to give
clear proof of what they say. So far, they have failed to prove anything.
Which suggests they dont have proof and just want to war monger the US public into a second cold war
with the Russians.
After all, theres lots and lots of money in that for the military-industrial-intelligence-governmental complex of
incestuous relationships.
***
If you recall, a few years ago they pointed to a specific building in China that was where hacks on the US were
originating. So, lets see the same from the Russians. They dont have it. Thats why they dont show it. They want
to swindle us again and again and again. You can not trust these intelligence agencies period."
Related: Rogue Elements of the CIA Are Operating Against President-elect Trump
That same month, Binney told Newsweek:
U.S. officials know how many people [beyond the Russians] could have done this but they arent telling us
anything. All theyre doing is promoting another cold war.
Binney compared allegations about Russian hacks to previous U.S. fabrications of intelligence to justify the
invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the bombing of North Vietnam in 1964.
This is a big mistake, another WMD or Tonkin Gulf affair thats being created until they have absolute proof of
Russian complicity in the DNC hacks, he charged during a Newsweek interview. He noted that after the Kremlin
denied complicity in the downing of a Korean Airlines flight in 1983, the U.S. exposed the conversations where
[Russian pilots] were ordered to shoot it down. Obama officials have the evidence now of who hacked the DNC,
he charged. So lets see it, guys.
Last month, Binney explained:
If it were the Russians, NSA would have a trace route to them and not equivocate on who did it. Its like
using Trace Route to map the path of all the packets on the network. In the program Treasuremap NSA has
hundreds of trace route programs embedded in switches in Europe and hundreds more around the world. So, this
set-up should have detected where the packets went and when they went there.
In other words, theres no need to speculate on whether the Russians were the hackers. The NSA could easily determine
who was behind the hacks.
Of course, in an era where challenging officials to provide evidence may get one labeled as a Russian propagandist, the

Fake News Hysteria Hinges On The Laughable Assumption That Corporate-Run Media Has A
Divine Monopoly On Facts + US Lawmakers Move To Criminalize Fake News, Propaganda On The
Web
December 14 2016 | From: NaturalNews / Sputnik/ Various
The insidious assumption behind the fake news accusations being flung far and wide by the
fakestream media (CNN, NPR, WashPost, NYT, MSNBC, etc.) is that somehow the corporate media
has a divine monopoly on facts.
The Cabal Establishment is in Panic Mode as Alternative Media Blasts the Controlled-Mainstream
Media Out of the Water - the Corporate Media Lies are Being Exposed Virally, Worldwide.
The assumption is ludicrously demonstrated when MSNBC rolls out convicted liar Brian Williams to decry fake
news.
Related: Fake News: Who is Really Making the War on Truth?
Youd be hard pressed to find any fake news propagandist who churned out more fake news than Brian Williams and hes
still working at MSNBC!
Back in early 2015, Breitbart News presented a list of at least 32 times that NBC News let Williams present such fake news to
the American people - lies and disputed stories - including his false claims about being in a helicopter that was hit by an
RPG, reports Breitbart.com, one of the new media giants accused of publishing fake news by the collapsing lamestream
media.
As long as the government engages in intelligence activities that violate our rights secured by our Constitution,
any Intel Authorization bill should be opposed, Justin Amash told Sputnik News.
Williams also made up stories about Seal Team 6, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Pope, Hurricane Katrina, quitting
college, rescuing a puppy from a house fire, and more, Breitbart continues.
If the Media Establishment Only Tells the Truth, Why are so Many of Their News Reports Obviously
Faked?
If the corporate-run media really had some sort of divine monopoly on facts, then none of us would be able to find examples
of laughably fake news on their websites, would we? Yet even the Washington Post has now been exposed for, if you can
believe it, faking a news story about fake news!
Any honest investigation can go right down the list: CNN, NYT, WashPost, HuffPost, LA Times, USA Today, NPR, MSNBC,
Fox News and so on every one of these news organizations has run genuinely fake news while claiming it was
fact.
Its not even difficult to find examples of these organizations deliberately fabricating fake news in order to alter the outcome of
the recent election.
Nearly all of them reported, for example, some variation of the absurd claim that Donald Trump cant win the
election.
These are also the same fake news organizations that obediently and enthusiastically repeated Obamas fabricated claims
about Obamacare. Remember If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?
Or how about the claim that Obamacare will save American families $2500 a year, on average? Not only were these glaring
examples of fake news, they were known to be false at the time they were published by the corporate-run media.
Another way the Media Fakes the News: Censorship of Important Stories they Dont Want you to
Learn
And then there are the stories the entire fakestream media censors because they dont want anyone to learn about actual
facts. As a particularly egregious example, it is an established fact that CDC scientist Dr. William Thompson publicly admitted
to falsifying scientific data at the CDC to obscure the statistical link between vaccines and autism in African-Americans. That is
not only indisputable, its also an incredibly important piece of news for the health of all Americans.
Did the fakestream media cover that story? Not by a long shot: They censored it.
Every single fakestream media organization across the country obediently blackballed the story. The censorship was
obviously coordinated, deliberate and malicious. Remember, censorship of important facts is another way the insidious
corporate-run media lies to its misinformed viewers.
Hilarious Videos of CNN Staging Fake Locations, Fake Missile Attacks and Fake Seafaring
CNN has forever used fakery, theatrics and false reporting to influence public opinion rather than report the news. Perhaps the
most hilarious example of dishonest CNN fakery is the Charles Jaco video from the first Gulf War.
In order to pretend to be covering the Gulf War from a live set in Saudi Arabia, CNN built a Saudi stage in the USA and
faked a SCUD missile attack on its news anchor Charles Jaco.
Hilarious, as the video shows below, while Charles Jaco grabs a gas mask, his co-anchor grabs a helmet (see the 7:00 mark
in the video below). Its funnier than a really bad SNL skit!
Remember, this was all broadcast as CNN Live, where CNN literally pretended this was all real and true.
Faking the news is a specialty of CNN, and there are countless examples of the network going out of its way to stage fake
sets, fake locations and even use actors following mass shootings to make sure the proper narrative is delivered to the
public.
For example, this video interview reveals a comprehensive collection of CNN news fakery such as the bizarre
moment when CNN anchors try to pretend they are not in the same parking lot.
That incident, detailed in this UK Daily Mail article, involved a CNN anchor and guest desperately trying to pretend they were
broadcasting live from distant locations when, in reality, they were in the exact same parking lot. (This is evidenced by the
simple fact that the exact same vehicles pass behind them, in the exact same sequence)
CNN frequently uses green screens to fake locations.
The hilarious video below shows CNN building an entire fake ship on a green screen set to try to create the illusion that their
reporter is on the scene in the Black Sea, covering US war ships near Ukraine.
During the hilariously bad fake set report, the CNN journalist even points off in the distance behind him to try to
make the green screen illusion more convincing:
Youll discover another jaw-dropping compilation of fake, scripted news from the mainstream media in this next
video, covering media fakery involving the Gulf War, the defamation of Ron Paul, 9/11 attacks, Bin Laden and more:
The entire Sandy Hook mass shooting narrative was deeply layered in all sorts of CNN fakery, including the use of actors
who were told to read lines to the cameras while sobbing uncontrollably for maximum effect.
Related: Censorship Shock: Amazon.com Bans Investigative Book Nobody Died At Sandy Hook Because It
Disagrees With Government Version Of What Happened
In one case, a cheerful white man is laughing it up in the background, then when signaled to approach the
microphone to speak on camera, starts hyperventilating and crying while reading his obviously scripted lines. (The
guy turns out to be a professional actor.)
In the same video, shown below, another actor is caught on a hot mic asking, Do you want me to read the card? right before
sobbing on camera, playing the part of a grieving parent.
Yet another Sandy Hook theatrical fake news hoax was the use of David Wheeler, a professional actor, as both a
grieving parent and a SWAT team sniper.
As with all the other actors rolled out for CNNs cameras, this professional actor performed a scripted role in order to evoke
a powerful emotional response with the sole purpose of repealing the Second Amendment (a necessary step before
America can be overrun and controlled by radical leftist communists).
The way he carries his sniper rifle (upside down, by the magazine) makes it laughably obvious to anyone familiar
with firearms that he has absolutely no clue how to carry a rifle
The Corporate-Run Media has Done Nothing but Fake the News for Decades
Search YouTube for terms like CNN green screen or crisis actors or Sandy Hook or faked news and you can spend
hour and after watching clear examples of outlandish news fakery by the mainstream media. It doesnt take long for any
intelligent, clear thinking individual to realize the mainstream media has been faking the news for decades.
CNN, in fact, can be best described as a fake news theater organization pretending to be engaged in legitimate journalism.
I even recorded a podcast on this very subject, discussing all the news fakery weve all been subjected to over the years by
the deliberate fabrications of the corporate-controlled media.
Come to think of it, you probably need to go back and revisit what you think is really true about many historic events covered
by the lying media: Oklahoma City, 9/11, Sandy Hook, the assassination of JFK and even the nuking of Japan in World War
II.
In every case, what was reported by the lying mainstream media was a scripted narrative, not a serious investigation into
what really happened.

US Lawmakers Move To Criminalize Fake News, Propaganda On The Web
The witch hunt for fake news and Russian propaganda has been kicked up a notch, after the
House passed a bill quietly tucked inside the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017,
designed to crack down on free speech and independent media.
Under "Title V - Matters relating to foreign countries, the bill seeks to "counter active measures by Russia to exert
covert influence carried out in coordination with, or at the behest of, political leaders or the security services of
the Russian Federation and the role of the Russian Federation has been hidden or not acknowledged publicly.
It lists media manipulation as:
Establishment or funding of a front group
Covert broadcasting
Media manipulation
Disinformation and forgeries
Funding agents of influence
Incitement and offensive counterintelligence
Assassinations
Terrorist acts
It is easy to see how this law, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, could be used to
target, threaten, or eliminate so-called fake news websites, a list which has been used to arbitrarily define
any website, or blog, that does not share the mainstream medias proclivity to serve as the Public
Relations arm of a given administration, - Global Research reported.
The frightening attack on speech and independent media was opposed by only 30 members of the House, including Tulsi
Gabbard, Thomas Massie, and Justin Amash - who stated that he fought against it.
As long as the government engages in intelligence activities that violate our rights secured by our
Constitution, any Intel Authorization bill should be opposed, Justin Amash told Sputnik News.
The bill must now pass through Senate, though a senior Rand Paul aide has told Sputnik News that the Senator is currently
holding the intelligence bill for several reasons - and that they are looking at this specific issue very closely.
Curiously, the bill which was passed on November 30, was introduced on November 22, two days before the Washington
Post published its Nov. 24 article citing experts who claim Russian propaganda helped Donald Trump get elected, Zero
Hedge noted.
The experts the newspaper cited was a group called PropOrNot, although it have refused to name the experts behind the
operation. The organization has promoted a Ukrainian hacker group on their Twitter feed.
PropOrNot also listed over 200 websites that they accuse of peddling Russian propaganda, including extremely popular news
websites on all sides of the political spectrum, including The Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, TruthOut, Sputnik News, and even
WikiLeaks.
Former presidential candidate Ron Pauls website is also mentioned in many of the articles on so-called fake news, an issue
that should be concerning to those who believe in free speech, including his son, Senator Rand Paul.
The elder Paul has long been a vocal supporter of freedom of speech, as it is enshrined in the Constitution of the United
States, and he and his supporters have repeatedly been the target of finger pointing and demonization.
In 2012, a risk-assessment report from a Missouri-based fusion center stated that support for Ron Paul's presidential bid was
a sign of membership in a domestic terrorist group."
Related: Washington Posts Piece on Fake News Promotes Fake List of Unreliable Sources
For purposes of this definition it does not matter whether the sites listed here are being knowingly directed and paid by
Russian intelligence officers, or whether they even knew they were echoing Russian propaganda at any particular point: If
they meet these criteria, they are at the very least acting as bona-fide useful idiots of the Russian intelligence services, and
are worthy of further scrutiny, the so-called experts cited by PropOrNot state.
Many of those listed on censorship hit lists are speaking out against the attempt to stop independent media.
Information is dangerous and with this new reactionary shift of people making ban lists of so called fake
news, it shows us how afraid they are of knowledge and differences of opinion that spur people to have
an open mind, Luke Rudkowski, the owner of We Are Change, one of the sites on the blacklist, previously
told Sputnik News.
Information is very dangerous for the establishment status quo that tried to keep things the way they
are.
The bill, Zero Hedge notes, will soon proclaim much of the internet to be criminal Russian propaganda if it is allowed to pass.

Pike River: The Great Disgrace

December 13 2016 | From: Uncensored / Archvival
The recent open letter from the directors of solid energy regarding pike river - the greatest disgrace
& corrupt act of treason in new zealands history.
Solid Energy's penned an open letter defending its plan to permanently seal the Pike River mine reiterating it won't
change its stance. The company's directors maintain it's not safe to re-enter the mine, and say anyone who disagrees
is being reckless.
Related: 'The town bully just went down' - Pike River families say control of mine's access road given to them
But families of the 29 men who died in the in the 2010 explosions are protesting near the site and say Solid Energy is ignoring
expert research that shows the mine can safely be re-entered. The mine is expected to be permanently sealed by February.
According to Dr Jacob Cohens mind-blowing book Murder at Pike River Mine (on the Internet, (the NZ intelligence agencies
have been trying to censor censoring it) or it is available through Mr Lawrie Drew at Greymouth (a father of one of the victims):
1. The 29 miners at Pike River Mine explosion in 2010 were all deliberately murdered, to facilitate Pike River Coal
Ltd to collect a $100 million insurance pay-out, turn the publics attitude away from underground coal mining and
reduce opposition to open-cut mining.
This would allow BATHURST RESOURCES LIMITED (at the time registered on the Australian Stock Exchange but now dually
listed) which foreign bankers also secretly control with Pike River Coal, to overtly come into New Zealand and buy up all of the
countrys coal resources and then open cut mine it which has by now almost been fully completed!
2. Interestingly, Dr Cohen mentions in great detail with references from Bathursts own website, that just before the explosion
in the mine, BANK OF AMERICA was aggressively buying up shares in Bathurst Resources Limited. Guess who was working
for Bank of America before he became NZ Prime Minister.
3. COLLUSION BETWEEN THE DIRECTORS OF PIKE RIVER COAL LTD, THE DIRECTORS OF THE BIG
SHAREHOLDERS OF PIKE RIVER COAL, THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT, THE NZ PM, THE NZ MINISTER OF
POLICE, THE NZ JUDICIARY, THE NZ INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO THE PIKE RIVER
COAL MINE DISASTER, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND THE FOREIGN BANKING CRIMINALS THAT CONTROL THE
LOT AT THE TOP has ensured the New Zealand public have been totally brainwashed about the true facts of this
monstrous crime and cover-up.
4. And just to make sure the mine victims families, or the general public cant ever know the full truth about the crime, or
even get into the mine to inspect the crime scene, and cant sue the Government, the companies or Pikes criminal directors,
the spurious rat and High Court Judge heading the corrupt, Royal Commission of Inquiry.
Oh, the quandry for the corporate 'it', such that is has intentionally failed
According to Lawrie Drew, HAS EMBARGOED ALL THE CRITICAL EVIDENCE FOR 75 YEARS! And yes, this has all been
totally censored by the incredibly vile, corrupt mainstream media!
5. This means, in simple mans terms, that the corrupt lawyers and judiciary involved all now know, that when for example
the Government Department supposedly that wanted to bring CEO of Pike River Coal Peter Whittall to trial under Health and
Safety laws (actually it was just a pretence because they all knew that it would fail) all that Peter Whittalls legal counsel had to
say to the judge in the pre-trial hearing was:
Your Honour, as all the critical evidence has been been embargoed by the Royal Commission for 75 years, we
cannot get disclosure and my client cannot defend himself against the allegations because all the evidence is
being kept secret and cannot be accessed.
Judge: Case dismissed.
6. This therefore means that the NZ Government, police, the judiciary etc. at least at the top - ALL KNOW they are a pack of
lying criminals, including the drafters of this latest Open Letter FROM THE DIRECTORS OF SOLID ENERGY.
7. All I can say is, because of the widespread indifference of the the general public in putting up with this outrageous evil, we
all deserve the judgment coming on us all. Because inevitably it will come. If they will get away with this, what will be next?
8. Apparently, PM John Key was personally given a copy of Dr Jacob Cohens mind-blowing book so he cant say he was
not informed. Isnt it rather strange to see he is abruptly resigning around the same time they want to seal up the mine.
9. Finally these devils want to seal up the entrance to the mine with a 30 metre thick plug of concrete. 30 metres! Can you
believe it? They sure do want to make sure nobody ever investigates the crime scene dont they?
In the United States of America a similar coal mine explosion occurred at the Upper Big Branch Mine not long before Pike
River explosion when exactly 29 miners were also killed. Since then, the miners families have received millions of dollars in
pay-outs and the CEO of the company concerned Don Blankenchip is now in jail.
Yet here in New Zealand, not even one director has even been charged or brought to trial. We hear about the criminal
activities of government agencies in the United States being bad, but our government and corporate criminal cabal is a
hundred times worse! 29 miners cruelly killed, and yet nobody has even received a slap on the hand. What an utter disgrace.
Frankly, if we just sit back and put if with this rot and say nothing about the blatant lies being perpetuated by the mainstream
corporate media propaganda goons, nearly five million of us, seriously, I fear for the freedoms and liberties of every single
person in this country.
Isnt it about time things changed dramatically?
Truly.
Pike River Murder Of 29 Miners & Blocking Of Re-Entry

September 25 2014 | From: Dr Jacob Cohen & 'Jack' (see download link below)
A censored book claims corruption at the very highest level of Government, Poice, International
Bankers, Corporations and Media Propoganda - naming those who should be charged.
"Ive been watching the reports on TV and mainstream media over last couple of days, and hadnt realised that your
victims families had sought, successfully, under the Official Information Act the experts reports that say the drift 2.3
km access tunnel is now perfectly safe for re-entry, yet Solid Energy have been lying about this fact, and it is plain
what their delayed decision in October will be negative!"
"Clearly, there is something in the access tunnel that they know they dont want to be revealed to either you or the public.
It all points to the fact the serious allegations in Dr Jacob Cohens book, MURDER AT PIKE RIVER MINE are 100% correct,
and that all the miners were plainly murdered.
Further, in even greater support of Dr Cohens penetrating allegations now, is the undeniable fact that government intelligence
agencies (it couldnt be anyone else) have REMOVED and CENSORED the book almost entirely from the Internet. The only
copy I could find this morning was on this site below.
You can have a look at the few remaining references to it if you GOOGLE-search it and you will find the books references are
still there, but the book has been DELETED.
Perhaps, you and the families, could have copies of the book printed up and personally delivered to all MPs.
While this would not guarantee mine re-entry and police examination of some of the crime scene, at least it will mean that the
entire government, (representing the entire nation) has been properly informed of the real truth and the blatant cover-up,
headed by big business in collusion with the NZ Prime Minister John Key, brought out so vividly by Dr Cohen. "

Rothschilds Greater Israel Plan Is Effectively Defeated

December 12 2016 | From: Geopolitics
On the eve of the complete recovery of Aleppo City, Rothschild puppet Obama issued a rather
strange last minute attempt at saving the anti-Assad operation by granting a waiver for military
restrictions on the nature of war materiel aid to its proxies, i.e. moderate rebels and Al-Nusra
terror operatives.
A White House press release Thursday announced that foreign fighters in Syria supporting US special
operations to combat terrorism in Syria would be excused from restrictions on military assistance.
Related: 10 Signs The Global Elite Are Losing Control
I hereby determine that the transaction, encompassing the provision of defense articles and services to foreign
forces, irregular forces, groups, or individuals engaged in supporting or facilitating ongoing U.S. military operations
to counter terrorism in Syria, is essential to the national security interests of the United States,President Obama
affirmed in the presidential determination and waiver.
The order delegates responsibility to the US secretary of state to work with and report to Congress on weapons export
proposals, requiring 15 days notice before they are authorized.
Obama announced a similar waiver of the Arms Export Control Act in September 2013, following the Ghouta chemical
attack in August of that year.
That order facilitated the transfer of US military weaponry to select vetted members of opposition forces battling Syrian
President Bashar Assad, while Thursdays order appears less narrow in scope.
Related: Obama grants waiver for military support of foreign fighters in Syria - White House
Why would he issue such 11th hour executive order after he admitted the US incapacity to topple the Talibans in
Afghanistan?
The most probable reason would be that once Aleppo is completely liberated, the full degree of US involvement on the ISIS
misadventures in Syria and Iraq would be exposed for all the world to see.
Civilians who escaped from terrorists talk about new crimes committed by militants of the so-called moderate
opposition in eastern Aleppo. Cases of torture, public executions and massacres of the population have been
confirmed.

There wasnt any Plan B in Syria because there wasnt any need for it if only Hillary Clinton won the White House for the
Cabal.
All they could do now is to keep on imposing all sorts of sanctions against all Syrian allies as if they still control everything
just like before. Yet, while Russia and China have been buying more gold and other physical assets, the West keeps losing
on the economic front, and they just dont care because they, the policymakers, are all insulated from these crises.
While the politicians are barking at the Russian-led operations, US and EU companies are expressing their interest
in getting back to the Russian market.
Carter Page, a former adviser to US President-elect Donald Trumps presidential campaign, told Sputnik that US and
European companies are interested to get back to the Russian market.
Carter Page
There is a high level of interest amongst US as well as European companies to get back to the Russian market.
This interest cuts across a diverse array of sectors, Page told Sputnik.
He also commented on the recent Rosneft privatization deal. Page believes that efforts to punish the Russian oil
giant have backfired and primarily hurt Western companies:
The hostile efforts to punish Rosneft and their senior management team through Western sanctions have primarily
hurt Western companies, rather than their intended target. This weeks innovative transaction underscores these
constraints, as many other potential strategic investment partners were excluded, Page said.

The Obama desperate countermeasures to salvage the dire Daesh situation in Syria, and the expression of unwillingness on
the part of the business sector in the West are proof enough that the people are tired of wars and sanctions.
Still, tangible actions beyond the choice of lesser evil need to be done by the Europeans. The rise of the Pirate Party in
Iceland is a good template.
Elsewhere in Asia, the Khazarian Empire continues to lose some of its cooperative regimes. South Korean
President Park is impeached.
South Korean lawmakers voted overwhelmingly on Friday to impeach President Park Geun-hye over an influence-
peddling scandal, setting the stage for her to become the countrys first elected leader to be expelled from office in
disgrace.
The impeachment motion was carried by a wider-than-expect 234-56 margin in a secret ballot in parliament, meaning more
than 60 of Parks own conservative Saenuri Party members backed removing her. The votes of least 200 members of the
300-seat chamber were needed for the motion to pass.
The Constitutional Court must now decide whether to uphold the motion, a process that could take up to 180 days.

Russia and Japan are also inching closer to a settlement of the Kuril Islands dispute.
Andrei Fesyun, an expert at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, said that setting up joint ventures on the islands
was a highly complicated issue.
There was an idea to build a spa hotel there and other things but there are more to this than just economic gain
for business. For the Japanese the Kuril Islands are a very sensitive issue and what Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe is
now doing is nothing short of a heroic feat.
He is the first Japanese Premier to openly say that he wants to have better relations with Russia. I can imagine
how much resistance he has to deal with, thats why I dont think we should expect any quick breakthroughs here.
One thing is clear: we are now ready to meet and talk things over, he said.
Fumio Kishida arrived in Moscow on December 3 for a two-day visit ahead of President Vladimir Putins planned official
trip to Japan later this month.
Lavrov said that Kishidas meeting with President Putin on Friday showed directions in which Japanese-Russian relations
should progress.
Meanwhile, Japans Foreign Ministry has expressed hope that President Vladimir Putins visit to Japan on December 15-16
would further strengthen relations between the two countries. According to the statement, Putin will meet with Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Nagato and in Tokyo.

The fall of the South Korean puppet government, and Japans peaceful re-engagement with Russia, will make it impossible
for the installation of the US THAAD missile system, in both countries.
We are hoping that all of these positive developments should not make way for any desperate attempt at pushing the red
button, as predicted by multiple sources.

The Diabolical World Of George Soros: I Cannot And Do Not Look At The Social
Consequences Of What I Do
December 10 2016 | From: DaisyLuther / Uncensored / Various
Do you want to know who George Soros, the creepy grandaddy of globalization, really is? He told
us decades ago and nobody listened.
Check out the following chilling 60 Minutes interview from Deember 20, 1998.
Related: George Soros: A Psychopaths Psychopath
Soros destabilizes economies to add to his billions and he doesnt care about how this affects the people who suffer. During
the interview, he said, with regard to speculative market attacks:
I dont feel guilty. Im engaged in an amoral activity which is not meant to have anything to do with guilt."
Soros complete lack of guilt about anything seems to be an ongoing theme in his life. One segment of the interview is of
particular note the part that talks about his formative years.
To understand the complexities of his personality, you have to go back to the very beginning, to Budapest, where
George Soros was born 68 years ago to parents who were wealthy, well-educated, and Jewish.
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island
in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews,
he decided to split his family up.
He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear
that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag.
While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros
accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.
(Vintage footage of Jews walking in line; man dragging little boy in line)
KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros friends and neighbors.
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) Youre a Hungarian Jew
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) who escaped the Holocaust
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) byby posing as a Christian.
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that thats when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and and anticipate events and when when
one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted
godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Thats right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, thats that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for
many, many years. W as it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you dont you dont see the connection. But it was it
created no no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, Im Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I
should be there. None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being
taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldnt be there, because that was well, actually, in a funny way, its
just like in markets that if I werent there of course, I wasnt doing it, but somebody else would would would
be taking it away anyhow. And it was the whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was
being taken away. So the I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
And now, George Soros lives in America, according to some reports, in Bedford Hills, a suburb of New York City.
He donated millions to help Hillary Clintons failed presidential bid, and he funds organizations that organize
protests which often become violent.
We saw it in Ferguson and were seeing it right now in the anti-Trump protests going on across the US. Last week, I wrote:
Soros was busted for paying protesters to go into Ferguson and stir things up. This is not theory. Its FACT. The
Daily Mail reported that Soros spent $33 million to bankroll the protests. The Washington Times reported that it
was totally cool, though, because humanitarian that he is, Soros just wanted to help the civil rights movement.
What a guy. Of course, this seems to be a thing with the kabillionaires. The Ford Foundation and Rockefeller
foundation also fund social activism. Which is kabillionaire code for mess stuff up and wreak havoc.
And guess who footed the bill for the rent-a-thug protesters at Trump rallies in California and New York?
(Heres another source, too.) You guessed it. Everyones favorite Hungarian-American troll.
Keep in mind that the organization Black Lives Matter was born through the Ferguson riots.
If the Modus Operandi in these protests looks familiar, thats because MoveOn.org is organizing a lot of them,
and MoveOn is funded byyou guessed it: George Soros. The organization was originally founded to combat the
impeachment of Bill Clintonare you seeing a link here? Another proud instigator is the Answer Coalition which
also are you sitting down? Has links to Soros
Someone who wants to see America ripped apart is causing this division. Last summer, it was leaked that Soros
attempted to destabllize Russia and depose Putin in 2012. Putin responded by banning Soros and all of his
organizations from Russia. In 2014, Putin issued an international arrest warrant for Soros."
This is the background of the billionaire philanthropist who is opposing the Trump presidency. Hes betting against America
right now, hoping to cash in and make billions when our economy crashes due to the instability he is causing.
Without one drop of remorse. Because
I cannot and do not look at the social consequences of what I do.

The Orwellian War On Skepticism: Battling Fake News & Institutional Investors Now
Dominate Media Company Ownership
December 9 2016 | From: GlobalResearch / Scoop
Under the cover of battling fake news, the mainstream U.S. news media and officialdom are
taking aim at journalistic skepticism when it is directed at the pronouncements of the U.S.
government and its allies.
One might have hoped that the alarm about fake news would remind major U.S. news outlets, such as The
Washington Post and The New York Times, about the value of journalistic skepticism. However, instead, it seems
to have done the opposite.
Related: Who is Behind Fake News? Mainstream Media Use Fake Videos and Images
The idea of questioning the claims by the Wests officialdom now brings calumny down upon the heads of those who dare
do it. Truth is being redefined as whatever the U.S. government, NATO and other Western interests say is true.
Disagreement with the Wests group thinks, no matter how fact-based the dissent is, becomes fake news.
So, we have the case of Washington Post columnist David Ignatius having a starry-eyed interview with Richard Stengel, the
State Departments Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, the principal arm of U.S. government propaganda.
Entitled The truth is losing, the column laments that the official narratives as deigned by the State Department
and The Washington Post are losing traction with Americans and the worlds public.
Stengel, a former managing editor at Time magazine, seems to take aim at Russias RT networks slogan, question
more, as some sinister message seeking to inject cynicism toward the Wests official narratives.
Theyre not trying to say that their version of events is the true one. Theyre saying: Everybodys lying! Nobodys
telling you the truth!, Stengel said.
They dont have a candidate, per se. But they want to undermine faith in democracy, faith in the West.
No Evidence
Typical of these recent mainstream tirades about this vague Russian menace, Ignatiuss column doesnt provide any
specifics regarding how RT and other Russian media outlets are carrying out this assault on the purity of Western
information.
Its enough to just toss around pejorative phrases supporting an Orwellian solution, which is to stamp out or marginalize
alternative and independent journalism, not just Russian.
The Washington Post building in downtown Washington, D.C.
Ignatius writes:
Stengel poses an urgent question for journalists, technologists and, more broadly, everyone living in free societies
or aspiring to do so. How do we protect the essential resource of democracy - the truth - from the toxin of lies that
surrounds it? Its like a virus or food poisoning. It needs to be controlled. But how?
Stengel argues that the U.S. government should sometimes protect citizens by exposing weaponized information,
false information that is polluting the ecosystem.
But ultimately, the defense of truth must be independent of a government that many people mistrust. There are
inherent dangers in having the government be the verifier of last resort, he argues.
By the way, Stengel is not the fount of truth-telling, as he and Ignatius like to pretend.
Early in the Ukraine crisis, Stengel delivered a rant against RT that was full of inaccuracies or what you might call fake
news.
Yet, what Stengel and various mainstream media outlets appear to be arguing for is the creation of a Ministry of
Truth managed by mainstream U.S. media outlets and enforced by Google, Facebook and other technology
platforms.
In other words, once these supposedly responsible outlets decide what the truth is, then questioning that narrative will earn
you virtual expulsion from the marketplace of ideas, possibly eliminated via algorithms of major search engines or marked
with a special app to warn readers not to believe what you say, a sort of yellow Star of David for the Internet age.
And then theres the possibility of more direct (and old-fashioned) government enforcement by launching FBI investigations
into media outlets that wont toe the official line. (All of these solutions have been advocated in recent weeks.)
On the other hand, if you do toe the official line that comes from Stengels public diplomacy shop, you stand to get
rewarded with government financial support. Stengel disclosed in his interview with Ignatius that his office funds
investigative journalism projects.
How should citizens who want a fact-based world combat this assault on truth? Ignatius asks, adding:
Stengel has approved State Department programs that teach investigative reporting and empower truth-
tellers.
Buying Propaganda
After reading Ignatiuss column on Wednesday, I submitted a question to the State Department asking for details on
thisjournalism and truth-telling funding that is coming from the U.S. governments top propaganda shop, but I have not
received an answer.
Related: EU Demands Social Media Websites Censor Fake News Within 24 Hours
But we do know that the U.S. government has been investing tens of millions of dollars in various media programs to
undergird Washingtons desired narratives.
For instance, in May 2015, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a fact sheet summarizing its work
financing friendly journalists around the world, including:
Journalism education, media business development, capacity building for supportive institutions, and
strengthening legal-regulatory environments for free media.
USAID estimated its budget for media strengthening programs in over 30 countries at $40 million
annually, including aiding independent media organizations and bloggers in over a dozen countries.
In Ukraine before the 2014 coup ousting elected President Viktor Yanukovych and installing a fiercely anti-Russian and
U.S.-backed regime, USAID offered training in mobile phone and website security, skills that would have been quite helpful
to the coup plotters.
USAID, working with currency speculator George Soross Open Society, also has funded the Organized Crime and
Corruption Reporting Project, which engages in investigative journalism that usually goes after governments that
have fallen into disfavor with the United States and then are singled out for accusations of corruption.
The USAID-funded OCCRP collaborates with Bellingcat, an online investigative website founded by blogger Eliot Higgins.
Higgins has spread misinformation on the Internet, including discredited claims implicating the Syrian government in the
sarin attack in 2013 and directing an Australian TV news crew to what appeared to be the wrong location for a video of a
BUK anti-aircraft battery as it supposedly made its getaway to Russia after the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in
2014.
Despite his dubious record of accuracy, Higgins has gained mainstream acclaim, in part, because his findings always
match up with the propaganda theme that the U.S. government and its Western allies are peddling. Higgins is now
associated with the Atlantic Council, a pro-NATO think tank which is partially funded by the U.S. State Department.
Beyond funding from the State Department and USAID, tens of millions of dollars more are flowing through the U.S.-
government-funded National Endowment for Democracy, which was started in 1983 under the guiding hand of CIA Director
William Casey.
NED became a slush fund to help finance what became known, inside the Reagan administration, as perception
management, the art of controlling the perceptions of domestic and foreign populations.
The Emergence of StratCom
Last year, as the New Cold War heated up, NATO created the Strategic Communications Command in Latvia to further
wage information warfare against Russia and individuals who were contesting the Wests narratives.
NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium
As veteran war correspondent Don North reported in 2015 regarding this new StratCom, the U.S. government has come to
view the control and manipulation of information as a soft power weapon, merging psychological operations, propaganda
and public affairs under the catch phrase strategic communications.
This attitude has led to treating psy-ops - manipulative techniques for influencing a target populations state of
mind and surreptitiously shaping peoples perceptions - as just a normal part of U.S. and NATOs information
policy.
Now, the European Parliament and the U.S. Congress are moving to up the ante, passing new legislation
to escalate information warfare.
On Wednesday, U.S. congressional negotiators approved $160 million to combat what they deem foreign propaganda and
the alleged Russian campaign to spread fake news. The measure is part of the National Defense Authorization Act and
gives the State Department the power to identify propaganda and counter it.
This bipartisan stampede into an Orwellian future for the American people and the worlds population follows a shoddily
sourced Washington Post article that relied on a new anonymous group that identified some 200 Internet sites, including
some of the most prominent American independent sources of news, as part of a Russian propaganda network.
Typical of this new McCarthyism, the report lacked evidence that any such network actually exists but instead targeted
cases where American journalists expressed skepticism about claims from Western officialdom.
McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence. It
also means "the practice of making unfair allegations or using unfair investigative techniques, especially in order to
restrict dissent or political criticism."
The term has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from
1950 to 1956 and characterized by heightened political repression against supposed communists, as well as a
campaign spreading fear of their influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents.
Originally coined to criticize the anti-communist pursuits of Republican U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy of
Wisconsin, "McCarthyism" soon took on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts.
The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as
demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.
Consortiumnews.com was included on the list apparently because we have critically analyzed some of the claims and
allegations regarding the crises in Syria and Ukraine, rather than simply accept the dominant Western group thinks.
Also on the black list were such quality journalism sites as Counterpunch, Truth-out, Truthdig, Naked Capitalism and
ZeroHedge along with many political sites ranging across the ideological spectrum.
The Fake-News Express
Normally such an unfounded conspiracy theory would be ignored, but because The Washington Post treated the
incredible allegations as credible the smear has taken on a life of its own, reprised by cable networks and republished by
major newspapers.
Related: My interview with former CBS star reporter: fake news
But the unpleasant truth is that the mainstream U.S. news media is now engaged in its own fake-news campaign
about fake news. Its publishing bogus claims invented by a disreputable and secretive outfit that just recently popped up
on the Internet. If that isnt fake news, I dont know what is.
Yet, despite the Posts clear violations of normal journalistic practices, surely, no one there will pay a price,
anymore than there was accountability for the Post reporting as flat fact that Iraq was hiding WMD in 2002-2003.
Fred Hiatt, the editorial-page editor most responsible for that catastrophic group think, is still in the same job
today.
Two nights ago, MSNBCs Chris Matthews featured the spurious Washington Post article in a segment that - like similar
rehashes - didnt bother to get responses from the journalists being slandered.
I found that ironic since Matthews repeatedly scolds journalists for their failure to look skeptically at U.S.
government claims about Iraq possessing WMD as justification for the disastrous Iraq War.
However, now Matthews joins in smearing journalists who have applied skepticism to U.S. and Western
propaganda claims about Syria and/or Ukraine.
MSNBCs Hardball host Chris Matthews
While the U.S. Congress and the European Parliament begin to take action to shut down or isolate dissident sources of
information all in the name of democracy - a potentially greater danger is that mainstream U.S. news outlets are already
teaming up with technology companies, such as Google and Facebook, to impose their own determinations about truth on
the Internet.
Or, as Ignatius puts it in his column reflecting Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Stengels thinking;
The best hope may be the global companies that have created the social-media platforms.They see this
information war as an existential threat, says Stengel.
The real challenge for global tech giants is to restore the currency of truth. Perhaps machine
learning [presumably a reference to algorithms] can identify falsehoods and expose every argument that uses
them.
Perhaps someday, a human-machine process will create what Stengel describes as a global ombudsman for
information.
Ministry of Truth
An organization of some 30 mainstream media companies already exists, including not only The Washington Post and The
New York Times but also the Atlantic Council-connected Bellingcat, as the emerging arbiters or ombudsmen for truth,
something Orwell described less flatteringly as a Ministry of Truth.
Big Brother poster illustrating George Orwells novel about modern propaganda, 1984
The New York Times has even editorialized in support of Internet censorship, using the hysteria over fake news to justify
the marginalization or disappearance of dissident news sites.
It now appears that this 1984-ish MiniTrue will especially target journalistic skepticism when applied to U.S. government
and mainstream media group thinks.
Yet, in my four decades-plus in professional journalism, I always understood that skepticism was a universal journalistic
principle, one that should be applied in all cases, whether a Republican or a Democrat is in the White House or whether
some foreign leader is popular or demonized.

inaccurate news ever
As we have seen in recent years, failure to ask tough questions and to challenge dubious claims from government
officials and mainstream media outlets can get lots of people killed, both U.S. soldiers and citizens of countries
invaded or destabilized by outsiders.
To show skepticism is not the threat to democracy that Undersecretary Stengel and columnist Ignatius appear to think it is.
Whether you like or dislike RTs broadcasts - or more likely have never seen one - a journalist really cant question its
slogan: question more. Questioning is the essence of journalism and, for that matter, democracy.
[In protest of the Posts smearing of independent journalists, RootsAction has undertaken a petition drive, which can
be found here.]
PETITION: Defend Independent Media From Fake News Attacks
Ask President-elect Donald Trump to take a stand against the establishment's desperate move to label
independent media as fake news.
This is a red level emergency.
Infowars, Breitbart, the Drudge Report and other independent sources are destroying the mainstream media
narrative like never before, and the establishment is getting desperate.
In an effort to try and censor the liberty movement and free speech, the mainstream media is now attempting to
label legitimate news sources like Infowars as "fake news" to push towards a government-led shut down of
Infowars.com.
The Washington Post has even gone as far as to label sites like Infowars as "Russian propaganda fake
news" web sites, exemplifying the last attempt of a dying media conglomerate to force out any and all
dissenting voices.
Even more concerning, the United States House of Representatives quietly passed legislation
targeting 'Russian propaganda' websites.
But the calls for censorship do not end with the United States.
The European Union is demanding that Twitter, YouTube and Facebook censor illegal hate speech
within 24 hours and content that includes so-called fake news, a term so broad that it includes perfectly
legitimate news content.
Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have also announced that they will be ramping up efforts to remove
"extremist" content from their websites by using a shared database of offenders.
And perhaps most importantly, Twitter has recently gone on record stating the company will ban
President-Elect Donald J. Trump's Twitter account if he were to violate the company's "hate speech" rules.
We are calling on and asking President-Elect Donald J. Trump to take a stand against the establishment media's
"fake news" attacks and to stop the impending censorship of independent media platforms like Infowars.com and
others.

Institutional Investors Now Dominate Media Company Ownership
Institutional investors now dominate the ownership and governance of New Zealand media
companies, according to the sixth annual update on local media ownership from the Auckland
University of Technology's Journalism, Media and Democracy Research Centre.
"For the first time in six years, our media companies are exclusively owned by financial institutions and it is in their
interest to push structural changes through," the report's author, Merja Myllylahti, says in a review of a sector in
which two major mergers are proposed: between news publishers NZME and the New Zealand assets of Australian
media firm Fairfax Media; and between Vodafone New Zealand and Sky Network Television.
Related: Is the US Government Behind the Fake News Media Attacks on President-elect Trump?
Media owners have largely pulled out of the sector, she notes.
"Many of the directors have no declared media interests, but have directorships in financial firms and corporate
advisory businesses.The board structures of media corporates support further consolidation."
The report lists the most significant events in New Zealand media ownership this year as:
NZME separating from its Australian parent APN News & media, to become a standalone NZX-listed company; Rupert
Murdoch's News Corp selling all its NZME shares, inherited as a result of the APN split; the proposed merger between
NZME and Fairfax's New Zealand assets; Vodafone proposing a merger with Sky Network Television; and TV3 owner
MediaWorks getting a new board and senior management.
NZME, publisher of the New Zealand Herald newspaper and website and the Newstalk ZB radio network among
other assets, is 85.6 percent-owned by financial institutions, she said.
Myllylahti painted a grim outlook for traditional news publishers, saying merging was;
Not a solution for NZMEs and Fairfaxs troubled business models".
"The market challenges remain the same."
She noted a report by David Kaynes, an Australian-based analyst for multinational investment bankers Citi, reported in
Australian media yesterday, suggesting Fairfax's flagship titles in Australia have no future if digital revenue continues to
decline.
The only way for the merged company to stabilise its revenue in the short-term is to implement cost savings and
cut hundreds of jobs, and it is their intention to do so," said Myllylahti.
The report notes that media and telecommunications consolidation is accelerating in many countries.
The relations and dependencies between news media corporations, social media companies, search engines,
chat providers, and news app companies became increasingly intertwined and complex" in 2016.
NZME and Fairfax are arguing they must merge to have a chance of competing with global platforms like Facebook and
Google, which are becoming go-to venues for news while hoovering up digital advertising revenues, which are a far smaller
than the total pool of advertising spend once available to newspaper publishers.
That's in spite of new evidence that the total proportion of all ad spending committed to digital channels is growing fast.
The Standard Media Index, a measure of New Zealand advertising spend, shows some 31.6 percent of total ad spending
was on digital from January to September this year was 31.6 percent, compared with 26.2 percent in the same period last
year and 11.6 percent for the same period five years ago.

The War On Cash - One Giant Leap Forward For Government

December 9 2016 | From: ArmstrongEconomics
The European Payments Council (EPC), a subdivision of the European Central Bank, is taking one
giant step forward in their quest to eliminate all cash to increase taxes.
They have gone ahead and set up the technical bases last week to enable the immediate payments system
throughout Europe.
Related: Reserve Bank governor Wheeler not keen on bank deposit insurance
One of the stumbling blocks has been the fact you cannot transfer money same day for banks like to play with your money
and holding it for a few days. If the payment comes from overseas, the bank will not clear the funds usually for six weeks.
Unless money can become instant, it is really impossible to eliminate cash. The SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme will move to
allow instant transfers.
The goal is to eliminate ATM machines and force people to pay using their mobile phone beginning in November
2017.

Of course, there is nobody thinking about tourism. How will an American pay for something on a vacation in Europe?
One suggestion behind the curtain I was recently briefed on was they could pay in advance and have an app that
then pays for things in Europe.
The hunt for taxes is getting pretty bad. The entire reason for the introduction of passports was by the Roman Emperor
Diocletian following the collapse during the 3rd Century.
Diocletian introduced wage and price controls, and doubled the number of bureaucrats at the governments command;
Lactantius was to claim that there were now more men using tax money than there were paying it.
A form of introducing a passport not to travel to foreign lands since civilization was the Roman Empire, but to be able to
travel within the Empire because you could not leave your home town until you paid your taxes.
King Henry V of England (13871422) is credited with having invented what considered the first true international passport.
The king saw this as helping his subjects prove who they were in foreign lands and not the subject of the king where they
traveled. The reason for this 1414 Act of Parliament was legal.
You were the property of your King. If you committed a crime in France, the French king could not punish you.
He had to send you back to your king in chains noting the crime you committed and asked that you be punished by your
king. This legal foundation of jurisdiction was not overthrown until the American Revolution, which gave birth to territorial
jurisdiction.
Since it was a revolt against monarchy, it was seen as implausible that if an Englishman committed a crime in America, that
they would still recognize the authority of the king and send him in chains to Britain to be punished. This new idea
of territorial jurisdiction is directly outlined in the 6th Amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of
the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the
witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key Resigns - Warned In Person By United States
Secretary Of State John Kerry Of Arrest Status
December 6 2016 | From: TheGuardian / Secure
Key says he would vote for his deputy prime minister, Bill English, if he put his name forward for
leader, after shock announcement that he is quitting. The Cabal is falling and Key is the latest
casualty...
We are witnessing the publicised beginnings of the fall of the Khazarian Nazionist Luciferian Cabal right now
John Key, the New Zealand prime minister and leader of the National party, has resigned in a decision that has
taken the country by surprise.
Related: Italy Referendum: Prime Minister Renzi Quits as Voters Deliver Stinging Rebuke
Warning: Brace yourself for the horrific backslapping of Cabal minions... Wake up Rebecca.
Key held a media conference in Wellington at 12.45pm local time, after informing the cabinet of his decision.
His resignation will be effective from 12 December, when National MPs will meet to select a new leader.
Key said he would vote for his deputy prime minister, Bill English, if he put his name forward. English briefly led the party to
its worst-ever electoral defeat in the 2002 election, but has since served as a successful finance minister.
Key is widely regarded as one of the most popular prime ministers in New Zealands history. He was first elected in 2008,
and recently marked his 10-year anniversary as leader of the National party.
He said stepping down was the hardest decision he had ever had to make, but there was no way he could have served a
full fourth term.
This felt like the right time to go, he told reporters;

Sometimes youve got to make hard decisions to make right decisions, he said, adding it was an opportunity to
refresh the National partys leadership of the country and hopefully clinch a fourth term.
I think one of the reasons governments fail at that fourth-term hurdle is leaders dont want to leave, everyone says
Ive seen this before. This is the chance to demonstrate newness about us.
He said he had a pretty long discussion about standing for a fourth term with his wife, Bronagh Key.
I dont feel comfortable looking down the barrel of the camera and not being honest ... On a family basis, I dont
think I could commit much longer than the next election.
He denied that Bronagh had given him an ultimatum, but said his leadership had come at a cost to his family.
Its been a decade of a lot of long, lonely nights for her and its the right time for me to come home.
His children, Max and Stephie, had suffered an extraordinary level of intrusion along with the opportunities that came with
being New Zealands first family.
Related: Radio Station George FM Warns Staff About Max Key
In the past year, Key has had to answer to questions about his sons burgeoning career as a DJ and social media
personality. Spending more time with his family was a major factor in his decision to stand down, he said.
Key said he believed the mark of a good prime minister was one who left the country in better shape than they found it.
Over time others will judge whether Ive done that. All I can say is I gave it everything I had. I have left nothing in
the tank.
One of his regrets was not getting the Trans-Pacific Partnership over the line, as well as his failed bid to change the flag.
He said he considered his economic management of the country as a mark of success, even though New Zealand had
weathered some crises during his government, including the Canterbury earthquake and the Pike River mining
disaster. Very few countries are in the financial position were in.
But Winston Peters, the leader of the New Zealand First party, said Key had consistently misled the public about the state of
the economy, and his resignation showed he was unable to muddy the waters anymore.
Key said he would remain in parliament long enough to avoid a byelection, but would step down as an MP before the next
election. He said he stood down hoping and believing New Zealand had been well served by the government I led.
Related: Banker John Keys Corporate Repackaging Of War
Comment: Key was warned to get the hell out by John Kerry (on his recent visit when he was also declined access
to a secret facility in Antarctica) because the Cabal is going down and Key is fairly well up on the arrest list.
The reason for his placement at #4 is not clear, perhaps because of his bankster history. We are told that in the #1
spot is George Soros, followed by Hillary Clinton in the #2 spot. Interesting times indeed.
He plans to remain in Auckland after leaving politics, and enter the commercial sector.
English, who has Keys backing to replace him, praised the prime ministers intelligence, optimism and integrity and said
he would be judged by history as one of New Zealands greatest leaders. He said the National caucus would now
consider the implications of the prime ministers decision, and that Key left behind a united team with plenty of talent.
He told reporters at a press conference that he learned from Key he was considering leaving in September. English had not
yet decided whether to stand for leadership, but would not rule it out.
Related: Does John Key Run The NZ Meth Trade?
Ultimately, that is a matter for the caucus ... Weve put a premium on stability and unity, and I dont think you
should expect to see the kind of public brawling that you see over leadership changes in Opposition.
The country benefits from stable, clear direction and government.
English pointed out that the caucus had only known about Keys resignation for a few hours.
Say it aint so, bro - Australian PM
The leader of the Labour party, Andrew Little, and the Green party co-leader, Metiria Turei, both wished Key well for the
future on Twitter.
Australias prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said he was disappointed to hear from his very good friend that he was
resigning.
I sent him one very short message: Say it aint so, bro.
Turnbull said Key was one of the most outstanding national leaders in the world today, whose influence was out
of proportion to the size of the country.
New Zealand has never boxed above its weight as much as it has done with John Key as its Prime Minister. He is
truly outstanding.
Turnbulls only consolation, he said, was that Keys resignation meant he might see more of him.

If You Question The Establishment You Are Guilty Of Espionage, Says Corporate
Media - Because Russia + The Fake News Furor And The Threat Of Internet
Censorship
December 4 2016 | From: ActivistPost / GlobalResearch
Mainstream, corporate media has launched a dangerous and slanderous campaign to label any
news outlet not spewing accepted governmental narrative as professional Russian propagandists -
and those unaware theyd apparently been duped by Russia, useful idiots.
Ordinarily, the complete dearth of proof this claim has even a shred of truth would cause a reflexive eye roll but
in this case, the American exceptionalist machine behind the supposed analysis calls for FBI and Department of
Justice to investigate possible violations of Espionage Act.
Related: Establishment Media Declares War On Their Competition As Fake News

Conflating legitimate journalism with espionage because it refutes a narrative acceptable to the establishment is
categorically ludicrous.
This irresponsible, criminal violation of ethics devoid of any journalistic integrity came from the Washington Post, which
reported two teams of independent researchers discovered The Russians were behind fake news articles to help
Donald Trump win the election and undermine faith in American democracy.
It could be said you cant make this up - but apparently thats exactly what these so-called expert researchers
did.
The flood of fake news this election season got support from a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign that
created and spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping
Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who
tracked the operation, the Post declared in its lede.
Russias increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery - including thousands of botnets, teams of paid human trolls,
and networks of websites and social-media accounts - echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they
portrayed Clinton as a criminal hiding potentially fatal health problems and preparing to hand control of the nation to a
shadowy cabal of global financiers.
Who would have thunk such a thing?
The effort also sought to heighten the appearance of international tensions and promote fear of looming hostilities with
nuclear-armed Russia.
Related: The Myth Of Aggressive Russia
However, as has been the highly-suspect tendency thus far in the corporate medias war on ostensible disinformation,
literally no evidence accompanied the Posts report - nor the analyses provided by these two putatively independent
research groups - making the article a prime example of libel.

In fact, the credibility of this reporting is so wet tissue paper-flimsy, even the mainstream outlet Fortune refuted the contents
in an article appropriately titled, No, Russian Agents Are Not Behind Every Piece of Fake News You See, because
the case starts to come apart at the seams the more you look at it.
Fortune notes one of the two research groups, the Foreign Policy Institute, is:
A conservative think tank funded and staffed by proponents of the Cold War between the U.S. and Russia, which
says it has been researching Russian propaganda since 2014.
PropOrNot, the other group publishing the exhaustive list of even award-winning sites, tweets and retweets anti-Russian
sentiments from a variety of sources, has only existed since August of this year, according to Fortune. And an article
announcing the launch of the group on its website is dated last month.
None of the supposedly multiple people responsible for the fledgling PropOrNot website are named, even by the Post.
Its executive director, whom the Post quoted on the condition of anonymity to avoid being targeted by Russias legions
of skilled hackers- a laughable excuse worthy of its own tinfoil hat - claims;
The way that this propaganda apparatus supported Trump was equivalent to some massive amount of a media
buy. It was like Russia was running a super PAC for Trumps campaign... It worked.
Once again, the Russia did it narrative belies the underlying establishment frustration and inability to come to
terms with the loss of democratic election - a loss alternative, independent media undoubtedly assisted, but not for
the tiresome reasons corporate outlets repeat ad infinitum.
Hillary Clinton did not lose the 2016 presidential election because some shady, Russian-government crafted cabal of non-
mainstream outlets plotted her downfall for the benefit of Donald Trump. Indeed, most of the outlets listed - including The
Free Thought Project - castigated both Clinton and Trump when pertinent information became available.
No, Hillary Clinton lost because - even faced with as contentious a character as megalomaniacal Trump - the American
populace has grown too weary of Washington politics-as-usual, foreign policy-as-usual, and corruption-as-usual.

Independent media did a phenomenal job reporting on revelations published by WikiLeaks, and equally stellar
slaying of U.S. government propaganda reported as legitimate news by irresponsible corporate media presstitutes,
who some time ago abandoned journalism for establishment acceptance.
Pointing fingers will never make this any less true - and, in actuality, only deepens the shameful dereliction of journalistic
duty.
To wit, the Posts regurgitating this thinly veneered anti-Russian agenda as fact, when literally no investigation was
undertaken - no one contacted the outlets on this list to offer their side, for example - is precisely the sort of fake news the
establishment insists it needs to fight.
Fortune points out:
Theres also little data available on the PropOrNot report, which describes a network of 200 sites who it says are
routine peddlers of Russian propaganda, which have what it calls a combined audience of 15 million Americans.
How is that audience measured?
We dont know. Stories promoted by this network were shared 213 million times, it says. How do we know this?
Thats unclear."
Once again, we have literally unverifiable information coughed up by unknown entities, who employed unknown methods to
produce a blacklist of media sites - which incidentally includes a disparate mishmash from Ron Paul and Chris Hedges, to
the Drudge Report and Lew Rockwell - that the public should deem verboten because they said so. That, and because
Russia.
As The Intercepts Glenn Greenwald tweeted:
Yes, the WashPost is saying: some people who we wont identify, using methodologies we wont describe, created This
Important Blacklist!
Again, though its difficult not to laugh at this altogether ironic travesty, the peril lies in these unknown entities at
PropOrNot suggesting these outlets and the journalists behind them have violated the Espionage Act, the Foreign
Agent Registration Act, and other related laws, but determining that is up to the FBI and the DOJ.
Just two paragraphs prior, PropOrNot paradoxically claims it fiercely believe in the rights to freedom of expression and
freedom of the press, and have no interest in seeing anyone punished for exercising them.
Although PropOrNot flatly claims its questionably researched and flagrantly unvetted list shouldnt be considered
McCarthyistic, well, it is.
So in other words, any and every one who is anything but a liberal drone is now a Russian plant? Zero Hedge,
which also landed a spot on the Everyone the Establishment Dislikes Is a Russian Agent list, asked rhetorically. McCarthy
would be proud.

The Fake News Furor And The Threat Of Internet Censorship
In the weeks since the November 8 election, US media reports on the spread of so-called fake
news during the presidential campaign have increasingly repeated unsubstantiated pre-election
claims that the Russian government hacked into Democratic Party email servers to undermine the
campaign of Hillary Clinton.
There is more than a whiff of McCarthyism in this crusade against fake news on social media and the Internet,
with online publications critical of US wars of aggression and other criminal activities being branded as Russian
propaganda outlets.
Related: Fake News List Death Knell for MSM-Paul Craig Roberts
A case in point is an article published in the November 24 edition of the Washington Post headlined Russian propaganda
effort helped spread fake news during election, experts say.
The article includes assertions that Russian botnets, teams of paid human trolls, and networks of web sites and social
media accounts were used to promote sites across the Internet;
"As they portrayed Clinton as a criminal hiding potentially fatal health problems and preparing to hand
control of the nation to a shadowy cabal of global financiers.
Comment: Well they may not have been Russian bot-nets but they sure as hell were real people who have woken
up to the reality of that the psychopathic luciferial control-freak establishment wanted...
According to the Post, the exposure of Russian involvement in the spread of fake election news is based on the work of a
team of independent researchers and another anonymous group calling itself PropOrNot, which has expertise in computer
science, national security and public policy.
Oh for the love of Christ who do they think believes this hore shit anymore?
Pathetic.
Although no one from the PropOrNot organization is mentioned by name, the Post quotes the executive director of this
group anonymously. The organization has gone so far as to publish a list of 200 web sites - including WikiLeaks, the ultra-
right Drudge Report and the left-liberal Truthout - that are deemed routine peddlers of Russian propaganda.
It should be obvious that the Post report is itself an example of the state-sponsored pseudo-news that is
increasingly dispensed by the corporate-controlled media to promote the geopolitical and military aims of
American imperialism.
The New York Times has published similar articles, including one authored by David E. Sanger and posted on
the Times web site on November 25 under the headline US Officials Defend Integrity of Vote, Despite Hacking Fears.
Sanger, the chief Washington correspondent of the Times, is a regular sounding board for the military/intelligence
establishment, to which he is closely plugged in. He writes that:
Intelligence officials are still investigating the impact of a broader Russian information warfare campaign, in which
fake news about Mrs. Clinton, and about United States-Russia relations, appeared intended to influence voters.
He adds, Many of those false reports originated from RT News and Sputnik, two state-funded Russian sites.
The readers of this and virtually all other articles on the topic of Russias role in fake news will search in vain for a single
piece of evidence to substantiate the claims made.
Instead, the views and opinions of experts, usually unnamed, are cited and treated as indisputable fact - much in
the manner of Joe McCarthy and similar witch-hunters.
The editors and writers who produce these articles seem not even to notice that their publications have been caught in one
colossal lie after another - from the claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction used to justify the illegal invasion and
occupation of Iraq in 2003 to the more recent flood of government propaganda in support of neo-colonial wars in Libya and
Syria and drone killings in a growing number of countries - all justified in the name of human rights and the war on terror.
There are no institutions anywhere in the world more adept at producing fake news than the American corporate-
controlled media.
These same media outlets further discredited themselves by overtly slanting their news coverage of the election campaign
in favor of their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton, and predicting that she would secure a decisive victory.
Blindsided by the support for Trump among disaffected and angry lower-income people and taken unawares by the electoral
collapse of the Democrats, the corporate media are responding to the growth of popular distrust by seeking to discredit
alternative news sources.

This is not to deny the spread of false information and propaganda masquerading as news on the Internet.
Fabricated news stories and hoaxes have been circulating online since the World Wide Web began in the 1990s, but there
was a significant increase in fake political sites and content during the US elections.
Stories that stretched the truth or were entirely made up typically started on mock news web sites and were then amplified
by social media sharing.
Related: Putin awaits my application for citizenship, says Russian agent Paul Craig Roberts
Other false reports originated on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter and spread rapidly with the like, share and
comment features of social media.
An analysis published by Buzzfeed on November 16 showed that false political news stories in the final three
months of the election campaign, such as a report that the Pope had endorsed Trump for president, generated
more engagement on Facebook than the combined top stories of nineteen major US news organizations.
The Buzzfeed study noted the hyperpartisan right-wing nature of the top fabricated news items, as well as the spike in the
number of visitors to these sites during the final election months.
Another key aspect of online fake news has been the growth of its scope internationally. The Guardian reported in August,
for example, that a group of teenagers and college students from Veles, Macedonia set up dozens of political web site
faades to both influence and cash in on the Trump candidacy.
The Guardian report also pointed out that, although the pro-Trump sham news sites were more popular, both offshore and
domestic web sites became very popular and generated income for their publishers whether they were peddling phony
conservative or liberal misinformation.
That being said, the campaign in the corporate media against fake news on the Internet, including calls for social media
outlets such as Google and Facebook to vet the material that appears on their sites, is a reactionary attack on freedom of
the press.
It has already elicited positive responses from major Internet sites.

Both Google and Facebook have published statements acknowledging that they are working on systems that will
use third-party fact-checking of news content published on their services.
In the case of Facebook, this initiative - reminiscent of Orwells Thought Police - will be reinforced by barring
accounts identified as fake news sources from using online advertising tools.
Pressure to shut down or muzzle fake news sites and social media accounts are emanating from the offices of corporate
media organizations concerned about the loss of their influence over the public. Any moves to censor Internet content must
be opposed as an attack on democratic rights.
The measures being prepared today against fake news web sites and social media publishers will be perfected and used
tomorrow against the working class and the socialist media - the World Socialist Web Site - that articulates and fights for its
independent interests.

While establishment Democrats trumpet all sorts of excuses for Hillarys loss, few are willing to
admit that she represented the alliance of bureaucratic corruption and corporate greed people are
sick of.
The most insidious excuse being pushed by the establishment Left (consisting of party leaders and much of the
mainstream media) is the so-called fake news trope.
Related: The Western War On Truth
No one denies that publishing articles about made-up events, and presenting that as real news, is a terrible thing, which
unfortunately gets shared without people taking the responsibility of verifying information.
But the censorship crusade being carried out by MSM is about more than actual fake news.
It is a vehicle for silencing alternative media and dissenting voices that represent a threat to the narrative. The
target is not just the alt-right but alternative news and views from a range of political categories.
MSM outlets such as NYMag, LA Times and the Independent immediately picked up on a list of False, Misleading,
Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical News Sources produced by a university professor. Without providing reasoning or examples to
back up the claim that this list should be taken seriously, it was held up as a blacklist to be avoided.
That may have been only the first salvo, as far greater plans are in the works, represented by something called the First
Draft Coalition.
Related: NZ's Media Already Very Concentrated, Lacks Diversity
Funded by Google News Lab, this coalition of over thirty major news and technology organisations aims to tackle issues
of trust and truth in reporting information that emerges online. Notable members include the New York Times, Washington
Post, CNN and BBC.
They have anointed themselves as a sort of Ministry of Truth, as Robert Parry describes in his examination of the fake
news subject:
It has also led to some very real harassment of the people caught up in the theory, including the owner of the
Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in the District, James Alefantis.
Alefantis has received hundreds of death threats over the past couple of weeks, he told the New York Times this
week, after Pizzagate enthusiasts decided that his restaurant was the secret headquarters of a child sex-trafficking
ring run by Hillary Clinton and members of her inner circle."
However, these self-appointed deciders have their own dubious history with accuracy in journalism.
We recently reported on five campaigns of deception that mainstream media have happily marched along with, resulting in
the suffering of millions and the whitewashing of American foreign policy. The New York Times and Washington Post were
particularly irresponsible with their reporting of falsities on nuclear weapons and WMD in Iraq.
They have long pushed the narrative for the foreign policy establishment, from ignoring the Iran-Contra scandal to providing
cover for U.S. machinations in Syria.
Related: The Major Purveyor of Fake News is the CIA-Corporate Complex
CNN silenced their own reporter who found evidence of human rights abuses being carried out in Bahrain, a Middle East
dictatorship that also happens to host the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet.
But the irony of the First Draft Coalition goes even further. One of the founders of First Draft Coalition a citizen journalism
site called Bellingcat has published high-profile stories with false information, and, according to Parry, has a close
association with NATO through the Atlantic Council.
Despite Bellingcats checkered record and its conflicts of interest through the Atlantic Council, major Western
news outlets, including the Times and Post, have embraced Bellingcat, apparently because its articles always
seem to mesh neatly with U.S. and European propaganda on Syria and Ukraine.
Two of Bellingcats (or its founder Eliot Higginss) biggest errors were misplacing the firing location of the
suspected Syrian rocket carrying sarin gas on Aug. 21, 2013, and directing an Australian news crew to the wrong
site for the so-called getaway Buk video after the July 17, 2014 shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
But like many news outlets that support establishment group thinks, Bellingcat wins widespread praise and
official endorsements, such as from the international MH-17 investigation that was largely controlled by Ukraines
unsavory intelligence agency, the SBU and that accepted Bellingcats dubious MH-17 evidence blaming the
Russians.
Parry believes that if this Ministry of Truth called the First Draft Coalition existed during Iran-Contra and the Iraq invasion,
the voices of dissent that ultimately exposed government and MSM lies would have been quashed.
U.S. intervention in Syria and the nurturing of the Salafist sect that went on to become ISIS - as well as the McCarthyist
aggression against Russia - all could not have happened without the support of Washington think-tanks and MSM
cheerleaders toeing the government line.

So it comes back around to the problem of who gets to decide what constitutes fake news?
How can establishment outlets - who have purveyed a fake narrative of U.S. foreign policy that hides a truly
subversive, hegemonic and war-making nature - be trusted to tell us what is real?
There are undoubtedly great journalists among the members of the First Draft Coalition, who brave dangerous parts of the
world and the gauntlet of political retribution to bring us valuable information. Its the overarching agenda of establishment
media, acting as Praetorian Guard for Washingtons political elite, that has become so obvious and so troubling.
While its undeniable that some false or dubious stories get pushed during the heat of a political campaign and in
wartime and journalists have a role in fact-checking as best they can there is potentially a greater danger when
media insiders arrogate to themselves the power to dismiss contrary evidence as unacceptable, especially given
their own history of publishing stories that turned out to be dubious if not entirely false.
Its even more dangerous when these self-appointed arbiters of truth combine forces with powerful Internet search
engines and social media companies to essentially silence dissenting opinions and contrary facts by making them
very difficult for the public to locate.
Alternative media represent a choice for people who are fed up with the system, and it is the peoples responsibility to
research the news in order to achieve an accurate perspective on events.
It is not up to a self-proclaimed Ministry of Truth laden with the same corrupt baggage that acted as proverbial bouy for
Hillary Clinton during the campaign to dictate what is right and wrong.

New Zealands Reputation Stained By Corruption - Case In Point: The Turitea Wind
Farm
November 30 2016 | From: TuriteaDocuments
Observers of recent world events have witnessed a pushback against corruption and the poor
behaviour of governments. Unfortunately New Zealand is not corruption free. When making such a
claim there must be concrete evidence to back it up.
This evidence, which has taken more than six years to assemble, is provided in the link below.
Related: New Zealand Government Has Pledged Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Taxpayer Funds To The Corrupt
Clinton Foundation & Clinton Health Access Initiatives
The government, which self reports on its corruption status, secretly colluded with Mighty River Power, a then State Owned
Enterprise, and our local government authority, Palmerston North City Council [PNCC], to force a gigantic wind farm on the
local community; known as the Turitea wind farm.
This was initiated during the reign of former Prime Minister Helen Clark. The consummation of a hitherto punitive, secret
contract, which cancels the governments social contract with all New Zealanders, took place during the current
administration.
The Turitea Wind Farm is comprised of 60 turbines. The 60 3MW Turitea turbines are 10 metres taller than these at Tararua three and will tower over
the city
This mafia like contract imposes a 3 million dollar penalty on PNCC if it helps anyone affected by the wind farm and further
imposes unlimited liability if it changes its mind about supporting it.
A variation to the contract shows all participants would conspire to overthrow any decision by a court impeding the
wind farm.
The wind farm was "approved" and a consent issued by a judge, Shonagh Kenderdine. Kenderdine however was not a
judge as she had been automatically and compulsorily removed, by virtue of age, from the judicial register more than
13 months prior to issuing the consent at the conclusion of a Call-In process, which has higher legal authority than an actual
court of law.
This fraud by Kenderdine is certainly not a Commonwealth first. Kenderdine, without a warrant and just a member
of the public, took a very substantial bribe to bring the secret contract to a predetermined conclusion.
No one was supposed to find out. Virtually all the executive from the Prime Minister and Attorney-General down either know
about this or are actively in on the fraud.

Environment, Serious Fraud Office, Environment Court, Law Commission, Ombudsman, Office of the Auditor General, etc.
With the exception of one, which was compelled to give the game away, all have maintained a code of silence.
The factual account linked below has all the hallmarks of a systematic fraud; corruption at the highest levels of government,
subversion and alienation of existing law, illegal payments, securities fraud, media collusion, and PNCC ratepayers facing
severe financial loss, the whole nine yards, but with two laughably novel twists.
1. The Turitea and Puketoi wind farms have been deliberately located right on top of three of the country's most
dangerous active fault lines.
2. A 49% share in Mighty River Power, which owns the consents, was subsequently sold to unwitting investors.
Despite assurances the earthquake risk was not revealed. Taxpayers and individual investors will bear the inevitable losses.

Planned Obsolescence: How The Products You Buy Are Designed To Break
November 29 2016 | From: TheUnboundedSpirit
How many times have you bought an electronic device, only to find out that it has stopped
functioning properly just a short time after your purchase (or just after the Warranty ended)?
Planned Obsolescence: The absurd practise of designing products with a limited lifespan in order to maximise profits, based on the notion that infinite
economic growth can be balanced by the finite resources of the planet...
You spent so much money on it, and suddenly youre sad to know that its not working well anymore.
The result? Wasted expenses, labor, energy and finite resources, not to mention the toxic waste that ends up in landfills,
poisoning the planet. But why is that so? Why is it that most products lifespan is so short, considering the advanced modern
technological means of production?
Enter planned obsolescence.
Cyclical Consumption & Planned Obsolescence
Our economic system is based on consumption - the more we buy, the more money moves into the economy, and hence
the more the economy grows. If money stops moving, the economic system is bound to collapse, since people will not be
paid or have money to pay for the products and services they need or want.
There are two main ways our society manages to keep people buying stuff:
Firstly, through advertising. Were exposed to thousands of advertisements each and every day whose sole purpose is to
convince us to keep on shopping under the promise that doing so will make our lives better.
Through advertising, companies have managed to make us confuse our needs with our wants, thus making us desire to
acquire things that we dont truly need, so that we can fill in their pockets by emptying our own.
Secondly, through planned obsolescence, although this is not yet understood by many. If you didnt know, planned
obsolescence is a production technique that compels people to buy more and more stuff unnecessarily, by providing people
with products of short lifespan.
Instead of creating goods with the intention to last for as long as it is technically possible - considering that we are living in a
finite planet with finite resources as well as the importance of saving material and human energy - companies, whose sole
interest is to make sales, purposefully design products of low quality that will soon break, in order to assure repeat
purchases.
Planned Obsolescence & The Phoebus Light Bulb Cartel
In the early 20th century, technical efficiency brought about by industrial development in the US increased dramatically,
which resulted in the production of higher quality goods at a much quicker pace.
Although that was a great success from a technological standpoint, the fact that the goods produced had increased lifespan
was found to slow down consumption - hence it was an anathema for the economy.
In order to prevent this from happening even further, people were encouraged to make more purchases, but it was found
that this alone couldnt make a significant difference.
The solution given in the 1930s was to make it legally mandatory for all industries to produce goods of lower
lifespan, which was believed to help reduce unemployment and increase consumption.
This brings us to the case of the Phoebus light bulb cartel.
In the 1930s, a single light bulb could last for up to 25,000 hours, but the cartel forced all companies produce bulbs limited to
a maximum life of 1,000 hours in order to increase demand. Below is a trailer of The Light Bulb Conspiracy, a feature
documentary film that investigates the evolution and impact of planned obsolescence.
The Light Bulb Conspiracy
In order to make sure that people make repeat purchases, most manufacturers today create products that have short life
cycles. In other words, the products sold by most companies have been intentionally designed in such a way that they will
break shortly after theyve been purchased, so as to urge the general public to buy more of them in the future.
Market Efficiency vs Technical Efficiency
In our economic system, which is based on cyclical consumption, technical efficiency is only damaging to the market
efficiency - both cannot co-exist by any means.
Increased technical efficiency decreases market efficiency, which is disrupting the flow of our economy.
But how stupid is it to keep on having such an economic system, knowing how technically inefficient it is as well as its
tremendous negative impacts on society and the natural world?
Instead of urging people to buy more and more, would it not be wiser to make use of our current scientific knowledge to
create an economic system that is based on technical efficiency and environmental sustainability?
I would like to leave you now with these questions in mind, which will hopefully help you to realize how obsolete our
economic system is and urge you to seek out information about how alternative economic systems can be implemented that
would actually promote social and environmental well-being.
The Truth About Money Is Out & Austerity In 8 Minutes: Why It Does Not Work, Why It
Is Still Practised
November 28 2016 | From: TheGuardian / Yanis Varoufakis
The truth about money creation and Austerity. Back in the 1930s, Henry Ford is supposed to have
remarked that it was a good thing that most Americans didn't know how banking really works,
because if they did, "there'd be a revolution before tomorrow morning".
In 2014, something remarkable happened. The Bank of England let the cat out of the bag. In a paper called "Money
Creation in the Modern Economy", co-authored by three economists from the Bank's Monetary Analysis
Directorate, they stated outright that most common assumptions of how banking works are simply wrong, and that
the kind of populist, heterodox positions more ordinarily associated with groups such as Occupy Wall Street are
correct.
Archival: Russell Norman Starts Talking About The Fraudulent Money Creation System A Month Ago And Has Just
Resigned
In doing so, they have effectively thrown the entire theoretical basis for austerity out of the window.
To get a sense of how radical the Bank's new position is, consider the conventional view, which continues to be the basis of
all respectable debate on public policy. People put their money in banks.
Banks then lend that money out at interest either to consumers, or to entrepreneurs willing to invest it in some profitable
enterprise. True, the fractional reserve system does allow banks to lend out considerably more than they hold in reserve,
and true, if savings don't suffice, private banks can seek to borrow more from the central bank.
The central bank can print as much money as it wishes. But it is also careful not to print too much. In fact, we are often told
this is why independent central banks exist in the first place.
If governments could print money themselves, they would surely put out too much of it, and the resulting inflation would
throw the economy into chaos. Institutions such as the Bank of England or US Federal Reserve were created to carefully
regulate the money supply to prevent inflation.
This is why they are forbidden to directly fund the government, say, by buying treasury bonds, but instead fund private
economic activity that the government merely taxes.
It's this understanding that allows us to continue to talk about money as if it were a limited resource like bauxite or
petroleum, to say "there's just not enough money" to fund social programmes, to speak of the immorality of government debt
or of public spending "crowding out" the private sector.
The Bank of England has admitted that none of this is really true. To quote from its own initial summary:
Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates
deposits" "In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank
money 'multiplied up' into more loans and deposits."
In other words, everything we know is not just wrong it's backwards. When banks make loans, they create money.
This is because money is really just an IOU.
The role of the central bank is to preside over a legal order that effectively grants banks the exclusive right to create IOUs of
a certain kind, ones that the government will recognise as legal tender by its willingness to accept them in payment of
taxes.
There's really no limit on how much banks could create, provided they can find someone willing to borrow it. They will never
get caught short, for the simple reason that borrowers do not, generally speaking, take the cash and put it under their
mattresses; ultimately, any money a bank loans out will just end up back in some bank again.
So for the banking system as a whole, every loan just becomes another deposit.
What's more, insofar as banks do need to acquire funds from the central bank, they can borrow as much as they like; all the
latter really does is set the rate of interest, the cost of money, not its quantity.
Since the beginning of the recession, the US and British central banks have reduced that cost to almost nothing. In fact, with
"quantitative easing" they've been effectively pumping as much money as they can into the banks, without producing any
inflationary effects.
Austerity In 8 Minutes: Why It Does Not Work. Why It Is Still Practised
What this means is that the real limit on the amount of money in circulation is not how much the central bank is willing to
lend, but how much government, firms, and ordinary citizens, are willing to borrow.
Government spending is the main driver in all this (and the paper does admit, if you read it carefully, that the
central bank does fund the government after all). So there's no question of public spending "crowding out" private
investment. It's exactly the opposite.
Why did the Bank of England admit all this? Well, one reason is because it's obviously true.
The Bank's job is to actually run the system, and of late, the system has not been running especially well. It's
possible that it decided that maintaining the fantasy-land version of economics that has proved so convenient to
the rich is simply a luxury it can no longer afford.
But politically, this is taking an enormous risk.

Just consider what might happen if mortgage holders realised the money the bank lent them is not, really, the life savings of
some thrifty pensioner, but something the bank just whisked into existence through its possession of a magic wand
which we, the public, handed over to it.
Historically, the Bank of England has tended to be a bellwether, staking out seeming radical positions that ultimately become
new orthodoxies. If that's what's happening here, we might soon be in a position to learn if Henry Ford was right.
TPPA Dead In The Water At Last: Why Do Some NZ Commentators Continue To

Believe It Was A Free Trade Agreement?
November 20 2016 | From: KiwiWatch
The Trump victory has finally consigned the TPPA to the bin, certainly in its current form, yet here
in NZ our government has invested heavily into a treaty of the globalist elites pronouncing it free
trade when the main body of the treaty was the description of the powers the multi national
corporations would have over the sovereign laws of signatory countries.
How come it is only Trump who saw just how this treaty was going to impact his own country and our own
government and its commentators are all in favour? We were hell bent on consigning our national laws to the trash
in favour of multi national corporates.
Related: TPP has 'no chance' if Trump wins: Key
The TPPA was an agreement that was central to the US globalist establishment as represented by their candidate Hillary
Clinton and her announced pivot towards Asia having first completely destroyed the Middle east militarily. It was seen by
many as a mechanism for US multi nationals to challenge the emergence of China as a global trading and military force.
Globalists are behind the de-stabalising of nations and the implementation of trade deals according to their terms the world
over with George Soros as always in the thick of it.
Right now the city of Florence in Italy is facing being sued by multi national company McDonalds for $20m in lost
future profits because the Florence city council disallowed McDonalds to build one of their stores in what the
Florence people deemed to be a sensitive geographical site.
The NAFTA trade agreement already allows this sort of practice and the TPPA only enhances these powers further. Obama
was pushing for the TPPA and TTIP (with its fines for any government daring to impose standards that cost these multi
national companies money) as one of his legacies.
Now on the bright side, these trade agreements to enable corporations to block public laws protecting the environment,
consumers and society at large are now presumably dead.
5 Reasons NZ Should Not Sign The TPPA
Of course Trump recognised that multi national corporations of the U.S., companies like Apple, Microsoft, McDonalds,
Monsanto do not bring their corporate profits back home for the benefit of America and Americans as redistributed through
the tax system.
Mostly they employ hundreds of accountants and lawyers to disguise earnings and file their global returns in tax havens
virtually avoiding any contribution in tax to the Federal government in the U.S.
Multi nationals are not patriotic companies for America in that sense, they are simply the means of the elite owners to
extract massive profits for the elites and avoid contributing to the benefit of society wherever they are. Take Apple as an
example.
APPL sits on billions of cash hidden in accounts all round the world. As an APPL shareholder this is your asset, but do they
pay this out to shareholders in dividends? Hell No!
The corporate owners and directors keep this locked away for themselves, shareholders and the customers are only the
pawns that enable the company to be this money making machine.
I dont think Trump is impressed by this sort of behaviour and hes stated that getting these companies to pay up their fare
share to the Federal government will largely eliminate the need for tax increases, the reason why he is introducing tax cuts
for everyone.
The globalist agenda appears to have hit a wall with Trumps victory and they are reacting badly to his election making sure
the riots continue in cities around America busing in rioters from other states to keep the reaction going, as Soros is doing
right now.
The Hawkes Bay Today published and article today quoting Special Trade Envoy Mike Petersens comment that world
trade is now a lot more complicated because TPPA is dead his main emphasis being dairy access to the U.S. yet he goes
on to say NZ is still in a strong trading position.
Yes it is, look at the agreement with China, now we can complete agreements like that with who we wish individually and
without multi nationals being able to over ride sovereign laws of the signatory countries.
Lets face it, the claim of the TPPA proponents was that it was only going to increase New Zealands GDP by $1bn in 20
years time and now there is no reason why that still cant be the place with much more safety.
Frankly we should all be rejoicing. Thanks Donald Trump!
TPP Dead, Now Stop PPP Crony Capitalism by Another Name
Multinational corporations still looking to take advantage of America
Toll roads & other Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are being offered as the means of Trumps $1 Trillion
Infrastructure Plan.
They are crony capitalism by another name, not trickle-down economics but the metaphor from Outlaw Josey Wales - Dont
PPP down my back & tell me its raining.
PPP contains much of the crony capitalism, ownership & control by multinational corporations that we hoped to stop in TPP.
10 Recent Signs That The Global Elite's Ship Is Sinking
November 19 2016 | From: TheMindUnleashed
Times are continuing to shift in a big way and humanitys rise over the darkness that has plagued
our planet for a very long time is gathering momentum by the day.
Remember, the elites modus operandi is to crush any form of hope or belief that things can or will get better. Truth
prevails though and we are seeing the old world order crumble. 2017 is sure to be an exciting year. Continue to
dream big.
Related: The 5 Biggest Threats To Humanity Exposed
1. June 23rd, 2016: Britain votes to leave the European Union. While some are choosing to see this as an extremist act
whose focus was on securing the border from immigrants, there is a much bigger picture to that event.
While it must be said that the immigration issue is in the minds of some who were pro-Brexit (and thus needs to be
humanely and compassionately addressed), the bigger issue was that Britain reclaimed its sovereignty back from the
imperialistic banking and political cabal.
As it has been reported in The Telegraph, a mainstream media outlet in the UK, the CIA and the U.S. State Department
have been heavily involved in the creation of the European Union from the very beginning. As Professor Alan Sked said in
the article: Voters in Britains referendum need to understand that the European Union was about building a federal
superstate from day one.
2. July 22nd, 2016: Wikileaks releases over 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Convention and shows the deep
collusion between the Clinton Campaign and the DNC itself. These revelations ultimately helped force the resignations of
the top 4 positions within the DNC.
3. October 8th, 2016: Shortly after Wikileaks began dumping the PodestaFiles, emails were revealed that John Podesta,
the Clinton campaign chairman, was receiving emails about UFO/E.T. disclosure as well as free energy technology, whose
emails came from former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell.
These are highly significant in the fact that it is admitted by Mitchell that such technologies do exist and that even the
Vatican knows of them. Once these technologies are known about on an even wider scale, the lies and corruption of the oil
industry will fall apart and humanity can then reclaim its freedom.
4. October 10th, 2016: Turkey defies the banking cabal and signs the Turkish Stream gas pipeline deal with Russia.
Because Russia is in opposition to the cabal, or NWO, as some would prefer, this is a massive financial and geopolitical
game-changer.
5. October 20th, 2016: The Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte visits China with 200 Filipino businessmen to mend ties
with China.
He also announces his separation from the U.S. (which is a blow to the cabal) and seeks an alliance with not only China, but
Russia too. The BRICS Alliance continues to grow.
6. October 30th, 2016: Icelands Prime Minister steps down as the activist, anti-establishment party, known as The Pirate
Party, comes in second in national elections and jumps its number of parliament seats from 3 to 10. As more people around
the world herald the call for true freedom, political parties reflecting such ideals will continue to prevail. The Pirate Party is in
over 40 countries around the world currently, and the movement continues to grow.
7. November 4th, 2016: Wikileaks emails reveal the Podesta brothers were invited to a spirit cooking dinner and
involved eating sperm and menstrual blood. While some surely laughed this off, keep in mind that former FBI special agent
Ted Gunderson spent several years investigating and exposing this information to the public, before being murdered.
We must also keep in mind that former BBC star Jimmy Savile was revealed to being involved in a massive, elite-ridden
pedophile ring. The pedophilia and ritualistic claims against many of the elites is well known around the world and is a very
serious issue. The fact that even a small bit of this came out in the Wikileaks revelations is significant and a sign of the
times. So much more is coming.
8. November 8th, 2016: It was revealed by Neil Keenan that several globalists/cabalists, including Mark Carney of the
Bank of England, Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve, the Rothschilds, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and others
were involved in a deal to steal 1 million metric tons of Gold from the global collateral accounts.
As of this writing, the deal has been stopped and it very beneficial to humanity. While this story might not make much sense
to many readers, understand that the global collateral accounts are the cabals biggest financial secret on this planet.
It is the reason JFK was killed and it also relates to 9/11.
9. November 13th, 2016: The European countries of Moldova and Bulgaria elect new presidents, both of whom are pro-
Russia. This is yet another major setback for the globalists plans of creating a superstate out of Europe. Watch for even
more countries to begin aligning with Russia.
10. November 15th, 2016: More than 200 rallies around the U.S. take place to protest the North Dakota pipeline that is
being attempted to form. The world is continuing to awaken and sees the lunacy of oil and gas for energy. Clean solutions
already exist.

Fomenting A National Crisis And Color Revolution: Soros-Funded Anti-Trump

Protesters Riot In Cities Across United States
November 18 2016 | From: Sott / Various
Globalist investor in murder and mayhem George Soros is at it again, funding his MoveOn.org to
organize post-election "sour grapes" protests around the country in response to underdog
Trump's surprising President-elect victory.
Complicit crime partner mainstream media is having a field day deceitfully spinning these top down, billionaire
driven demonstrations as a spontaneous, grassroots populist uprising against racist dictator Donald. From a press
release from MoveOn.org:
Related: Soros And Liberal Mega-Donors Plot For War With Donald Trump
"The gatherings - organized by MoveOn.org and allies - will affirm a continued rejection of Donald Trump's bigotry,
xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny and demonstrate our resolve to fight together for the America we still
believe is possible."
The Soros-affiliated machine further boasts:
"Within two hours of the call-to-action, MoveOn members had created more than 200 gatherings nationwide, with
the number continuing to grow on Wednesday afternoon.
The Washington oligarchy's propaganda ministry wants the world to believe a groundswell of concerned, mindful citizens
have taken to the streets in a surge of moralistic patriotic fervor determined to derail the spread of Trump's legitimacy as the
so called leader of the "free world," that is if you still believe living in a fascist totalitarian police state called Amerika
is still "the free world."
Thanks to the likes of the Clintons, Obama and the Bushes who've for decades conspired to strip away all our constitutional
rights and freedoms in the name of New World Order deep state tyranny, "the free world" no longer exists on this planet.
But the self-righteous, follow-the-leader sheep of befuddled malcontents rioting in the streets across America
haven't a clue with propaganda lies now owning them.

In every large city in America that voted heavily for Hillary, a Soros organized and financed mercenary army has been
unleashed engaging in violent destructive behavior.
We're all supposed to accept MSM reporting that tens of thousands of fellow Americans who in good conscience just can't
accept a Trump-led United States are joining forces in righteous solidarity, defiantly marching now in large numbers crying
foul that that a "xenophobic racist" is soon to be our president.
They're violently hitting the streets in robotic, monkey see, monkey do support for a former serial rapist president
and his thug wife who intimidated and silenced all his victims and who also lost Tuesday's election.

And as far as their track record, the Clintons have been consistently supporting and implementing the globalist agenda that
exploits racial tensions promoting racial and religious division and war against dark skinned people.
Though the Clintons have always paid lip service pretending to support minorities in order to secure their votes,
they have never done anything beneficial for people of color.
Take a look at how they raked in millions from their Haiti post-earthquake scam, leaving the Western Hemisphere's poorest
nation's people abandoned, still suffering and thoroughly ripped off. If you want to get real with racism and sexual
perversion, than look no further than the Clintons.
But in a truth-starved, deep state world, the automatons now running violently in America's streets have systematically
been conditioned to be oblivious to the truth.
In Hillary and Bill's belated concession speech, each conspicuously wore purple in a symbolic covert message giving the
greenlight to the latest Soros' funded "color revolution" taking place in America.
As Paul Craig Roberts incisively observes, the anti-Trump protesters are mere tools of the oligarchy to "de-legitimize"
the Trump presidency the same way Soros funded while Hillary's US State Department NGO's were used to disfavor
the democratically elected Ukraine president three years ago that led to his overthrow in February 2014.
Soros-Hillary's blood-soaked hands in past color revolutions sponsored by the CIA destabilized the Middle East and North
Africa during 2011's Arab Spring Uprising that included Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya among others.
Related: Thanks to WikiLeaks, we now have direct email evidence of the collusion between the MSM and Hillary

The subversive objective is regime change by inciting domestic tensions and upheaval designed to destabilize wherever
Empire encounters resistance to its brutal rape and pillaging.
Lingering effects from these abominable, highly illicit Soros-Clinton operations interfering with the internal affairs of targeted
sovereign nations around the world are still lethally raging as wars in Ukraine, Syria, Libya and Yemen, chaotic disaster in
Venezuela, simmering violent tensions periodically boiling over in Armenia's Nagorno-Karabakh, South Sudan and now the
Philippines as well among many more.
Any nation state that refuses to be chewed up and spit out by US Empire/World Bank/IMF economic hit job becomes a
CIA/NGO target for violent coups and insurrections, and now it's USA's turn using the Trump presidency as its next victim.
As if the bloodshed and violence that George Soros' filthy money has caused around the globe isn't enough, as of late he's
been especially active in America trying to create race wars on US soil.

Spending millions to send busloads of his mercenary army of agitators to foment riots and violence in inner cities
right after another white cop kills another unarmed black man in Ferguson and Baltimore, Soros as a huge $25
million Clinton campaign donor also deployed mentally handicapped individuals to disrupt and incite brawls at
Trump rallies this year blaming it on opponents Sanders and Trump.
The bloodsucking Soros thrives on stirring up trouble and hostilities around the globe, pitting various people and groups
against each other as part of his elitist strategy to divide and rule over the world.
Since the late 1980's the double trouble kingpin has conspired insurgence and regime change revolts in Eastern European
nations like Poland and the Czech Republic and ran the show dictating at will with his money and unbridled power what
Secretary of State puppet Hillary needed to do in Ukraine, Albania and elsewhere in order to continue receiving both his
financial support and "guidance."
This week the Soros and Clinton paid minions are out in full force deployed onto the streets of Washington, New York,
Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Seattle and Austin, totaling over
a couple dozen cities.
Related: Blocks Of Anti-Trump Protest Buses Caught On Tape
As a matter of fact, photographic evidence proving the protests are nothing more than artificially staged "civil disturbances"
inflicted on America by Soros, a fleet of chartered buses showed up in Austin, Texas.
But of course the loyal Clinton presstitutes are creating the false narrative that an authentic citizen uprising is
organically growing out of moral indignation for Trump, and they're milking it for all its worth with headlines like
"Anti-Trump Protests Spread Around Nation."
Ironically it was supposed to be all the disgruntled Trump diehards who would angrily rise up in arms after the rigged
election triggers a violent national citizen revolt from Trump supporters. But instead it's the violent rabblerousing Hillary
camp starting fires and spreading anarchy in America's streets.
With purple Hillary and MSM's subtly hidden blessings, mainstream coverage of the ensuing violence and property damage
continuing to erupt for a third straight day in a row is predictably being downplayed. Reuters reports:
"The protests were for the most part peaceful and orderly, although there were scattered acts of civil disobedience
and damage to property."
Reuters goes on to explain only "a handful of protesters" were arrested in Portland, Oregon.
That said, in stark contrast, this is what "peaceful" pro-Hillary demonstrations actually look like. Enraged Trump haters
went out seeking revenge against the Donald's supporters celebrating early Wednesday morning at Times Square,
promptly crashing Trump's party with violent clashes. Pro-Hillary supporters resorted to widespread violence in at
least two dozen US cities.
Reports that American flags have been burned in multiple cities is actually right in synch with Hillary and her
globalists' masterplan to erase all sovereign borders in favor of their one world government.
So will the globalists' trade agreements like TPP and TTIP that Hillary secretly supports put the final nail in the
coffin of America as a sovereign independent nation.
The so called peaceful demonstrators turned into violent rioters in a number of locations like Oakland and Portland, setting
fire to garbage and tires and breaking windows.
An unruly mob of 7,000 Oakland protesters quickly grew out of control, engaging in acts of arson starting about 40 different
fires, throwing rocks, bottles, M-80's and Molotov cocktails at police injuring three officers who then fired tear gas to break
up the crowd as thick plumes of smoke filled the embattled city skies.
Related: PROOF The Trump protests utilizing paid professional protesters financed by George Soros
An Oakland police patrol car was also torched. One entire Oakland block was seriously vandalized. Protesters spray painted
graffiti messages "kill Trump" and "fuck Trump" as they set fires. At least 30 were arrested during the Oakland rampage.
The more vocal pro-Hillary outbursts began surfacing on America's college campuses. At the University of Oregon and
California universities like UCLA and UC Berkeley the anti-Trump forces converged... a far cry from the 60's and early 70's
when these same colleges were the bastions of the antiwar peace movement.
Now the same schools are spawning violence in support of their nasty crime boss who vowed to bomb
Russia and Iran. Meanwhile, the object of their violent hatred is a noninterventionist vowing to help Putin kill the
very same terrorists that their favored losing candidate helped create and continues supporting.
Sadly, times have vastly changed not for the better. Too many university students today are media brainwash victims.

Across America hundreds of protesters have been arrested. In Los Angeles about 3,000 demonstrators gathered in two
places, disrupting traffic commandeering the 101 freeway that passes through the downtown area. Another contingent of
angry anti-Trump protestors assembled outside of Los Angeles city hall.
A bloody head of Trump was burned in effigy. In all, 29 people were reported to be arrested in LA. A confrontation between
police and protesters in Orange County's Santa Ana witnessed a brick thrown into a police cruiser, two other cars damaged
and two businesses vandalized with 10 arrests.
4,000 protesters in Portland disrupted downtown traffic and forced train delays, shattered windows, lit a fire in a dumpster
and vandalized 19 vehicles at a car dealership. A group of violent anarchists led the crowd inciting property destruction
although a number of demonstrators chanted "peaceful protest."
But likely the Soros paid agitators succeeded in turning the protest into a riot, resulting in at least 26 arrests. Denver
protesters walked onto Interstate 25 shutting down both sides of the freeway for a half hour. 500 demonstrators assembled
in Louisville.
In New York City over 30 were arrested gathering in two locations, one outside the Trump Tower and another at Columbus
Circle. Clinton loyalists Lady Gaga, Madonna and Cher joined the Trump Tower protesters on Wednesday night where
American flags were burned as well as in Philadelphia and Washington. 15 arrests were made at the Trump Towers in New
York for disorderly conduct.
Speaking of has-been celebrities, in dire desperation the last week of her campaign, Hillary paraded her A-list
of star power onto the stage playing the pied piping idolatry card as a last gasp cheap ploy to condescendingly buy
votes from the younger generations.
Beyonc, husband Jay Z, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, LeBron James and Bruce Springsteen all payed homage to their favorite
crime boss. Meanwhile, Cher, Lena Dunham, Samuel L. Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Amy Schumer, Jon Stewart, George
Lopez, Al Sharpton, and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg have all gone on public record stating that they plan
to move out of the country if the rigged election still fails to get their murdering crime boss queen elected. Good riddance!
On Friday evening protests were organized in Miami and West Palm Beach as well. 1000 demonstrators each marched in
Milwaukee and Minneapolis, slightly less in Columbus, Ohio. Up to 2,000 marchers in Chicago gathered at Trump Tower
while others attempted to obstruct traffic.
Related: Anti-Trump Protests: Proof Of Professional Activist Involvement
USA Today counted over 50 protests since Tuesday night and over a dozen more known already planned.
The MoveOn.org supplying the centralized organizers of these nationwide protests in reaction to a Trump presidency is
intended to spread and grow over time into a political movement throughout the country.
Soros is prepared to fuel the protests with deep pockets and paid professional anarchists designed to incite
widespread violence, vandalism and civil unrest throughout the US.
The treasonous aging billionaire is seeking regime change right here in America in plain sight, clearly a direct
assault on our nation's democratic principles, against both the democratically elected leader as well as against the
will of the American people who specifically voted for the outsider as a rejection of the very corrupt dirty power
politics game represented by Soros, Hillary and her Democratic Party.

The hypocritical hubris of these diehard Clinton supporters is projected on full display when they resort to lawbreaking
anarchy violence at the same time that misguided, flowery language flows out of their mouths. In the words of one New York
protester:
"There's a man who's the human embodiment of hate who's going to become our next president, so the best thing
we can do is try to connect with people who are representing love and connection...
Hmm, like the most dangerous, warmongering presidential candidate in US history who promised the world that America
would go to war against both Russia and Iran... or the vicious, demonic mastermind who buys violence, death and
destruction like they're commodities on a monopoly board, or like the "loving" protesters spreading violence across America
right now, all in the name of love and connection.
Meanwhile, anti-Trump death threats showed up on Twitter calling for Trump and his Vice President-elect Mike Pence to
be assassinated. That's how some who object to Trump show their love.
If it were angry Trump supporters on a wild rampage like this, mainstream media would be calling protesters
committing this exact same behavior as hateful, anti-American racists bent on causing race wars in cities across
America, forcing the government to take measures to quell such out of control, Trump-inspired violent anarchy and
hate.
In the same way that Soros and the media giants both engage in race baiting that foments further violence and unrest in
places like Ferguson and Baltimore as part of a sinister globalist agenda, the same diabolical dynamic is currently underway
with the media inciting American citizens to hit the streets in protest and a meta-message to spread violence and bloodshed
that will invariably be blamed on Donald Trump, who is being demonized just like Putin and Assad.
The disturbing truth here is there's a hidden Soros-Clinton-MSM agenda purposely adding fuel to the fire so that
paid Soros-Hillary shills violently act out in efforts to lead another color revolution coup staged as an "out of
control crisis" and "national rebellion."
Remember the operative word here is perception where MSM covertly creates and stages a false narrative that a national
emergency will warrant President Obama to opportunistically call out the National Guard in order to stabilize the nation
"bordering on civil war," thus handing him the excuse to declare martial law prior to Trump's inauguration in January.
Or if that particular endgame scenario fails to materialize, as long as the civil unrest and widespread violence continues to
grow nationally, the ruling elite may engineer some other form of false flag crisis like a cyberattack on the US banking
infrastructure, then subversively blame the Trump-Putin duo for the conspiracy.

Or if Trump does manage to outlast his January inauguration date and become president, you can bet that the globalists will
soon thereafter unleash a full blown financial crisis where their house of cards global economy collapses like dominos into a
worse depression than the one that followed the 1929 stock market crash that they also initiated.
President Trump of course would be accused of causing that catastrophe as well.
That's why this election was rigged by preprogrammed voting machines to deliver the outcome that has shocked so many.
Once the elite deemed Hillary to be damaged goods and a liability with all her nonstop scandals and criminality, suddenly a
decision was made to fix the election so a narrow margin of victory could be claimed by Donald Trump.
Comment: The narrative that Trump is controlled opposition is yet another desperate attempt to derail positive
developments in the battle against the Cabal.
When just before the election Hillary and Bill were both accused of being pedophiles by honest members of the New York
Police Department and the FBI after discovering evidence on Anthony Weiner's laptop, directly connecting the Clintons to
their billionaire buddy, registered sex offender and fellow pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's international child sex slavery
trafficking ring, the elite conceded defeat and threw Hillary under the bus.
With this worldwide child sex ring threatening to expose not only the Clintons but the likes of the Bushes, Prince Andrew,
other members of European royalty, multiple high court judges in both North America and Europe, prominent politicians in
both US Congress as well as European parliaments, high ranking military officers and world famous entertainers as part of a
Satanic worshipping cabal that rules the world,
But it's too late for that now as the cat's already been let out of the bag .
Courageous whistleblowers in both law enforcement and journalism are pushing for the ugly truth to be fully exposed as the
best opportunity to remove this criminal cabal from power once and for all, seeking justice by placing the perpetrators on trial
for their unlimited high crimes that include treason, war atrocities, pedophilia, human genocide and crimes against
humanity.
An international truth and reconciliation commission will need to be organized to facilitate those from lower levels of this
international cabal to come forth providing evidence and testimony to hold those guilty at the top fully accountable. This tall
order is what "draining the swamp" will really be all about.
Getting rid of the subhuman scum that have controlled virtually all human affairs over the past few centuries will pave the
way for a new beginning where such advanced technologies as free energy and a resource-based global infrastructure can
be developed and built to sustain a population of 11 billion people.
By purging the crime cabal leaders and their puppet masters, the ruling elite's plan to commit human genocide by drastically
reducing the world population from its current 7.4 billion to just over a half billion people will be circumvented. Once we
"drain the swamp" of these Satanic mass murderers, a social, economic and spiritual transformation will then finally be freely
in place to promote humans into living in harmony and peace on this earth the way that God originally intended.

Are Microwave Transmission Weapons Of Mass Destruction Being Used To Trigger
Catastrophic Earthquakes? + New Zealand Earthquake: The Worlds Biggest Offshore
Seismic Blasting Ship The Amazon Warrior
November 17 2016 | From: GeoEngineeringWatch / TheContrail
Are unimaginably powerful microwave transmissions actively and aggressively being used as
weapons of mass destruction? If all available evidence is examined, the logical conclusions are
chilling.
Understanding the full potential of the power that can be projected from the ionosphere heater installations (like
HAARP) is difficult and complex.

Aftershock Shakes New Zealand After Powerful 7.8 Earthquake Kills At Least 2
We all know and understand that microwave transmissions produced in our countertop ovens can heat a cup of water
(or frozen TV dinners) at blinding speed. Unfortunately, most don't know and thus have never even considered (let alone
investigated) what massively powerful and interlinked microwave transmissions can do to the planet.
When immensely powerful microwave transmissions are bounced off the atmosphere (facilitated by the atmospheric aerosol
saturation) and directed back into the Earth's strata (in a seismically sensitive location), the triggering of seismic activity
becomes scientifically possible.
The constant jet aircraft spraying of reflective and electrically conductive particles into the atmosphere (as part of the
ongoing climate engineering/geoengineering assault) is a verifiable fact. Is New Zealand, yet again, the victim of microwave
transmission super-weapons?
There is a long list of shocking facts surrounding a number of recent catastrophic earthquakes. It is imperative to examine
these facts without preconceptions or programmed denial.
Let's start with the month leading up to the extremely destructive 2010 earthquake in Haiti, MIT satellite monitoring detected
a radical increase in ULF (ultra low frequency/microwave) radio transmissions over the quake epicenter.
Spacecraft Saw ULF Radio Emissions over Haiti before January Quake
A French satellite observed a dramatic increase in ultra low frequency radio waves over Haiti in the month before
the M7.0 earthquake earlier this year.
DEMETERs is an unusual mission. Its job is to monitor low frequency radio waves generated by earthquakes.
Today, a group of geoscientists release the data associated with the M 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti in January.
They say that DEMETER saw a clear increase in ultralow frequency radio waves being emitted from the Earths
the crust in that region in the build up to the quake.
The anecdotal evidence of electromagnetic effects associated with earthquakes is legion. Various accounts link
earthquakes with mysterious light and heating effects."
After the Haiti quake, the US military moved in and occupied the country. In addition, the long drawn-out Clinton Foundation
reconstruction debacle began.
The following year a deadly earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. Many circumstances surrounding this disaster
were also troubling. Did US officials know the earthquake was coming? Some excerpts from a report on the disaster are
below.
"Was the Christchurch earthquake a terrible natural disaster, or was it a terrible MAN MADE disaster?
9 members of US Congress were in Christchurch for a summit meeting on Feb 21 & 22 but left Christchurch 2.5
hours before the earthquake hit and relocated to Wellington even though the meeting was not due to finish until the
evening of Feb 22nd.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, was supposed to be visiting Christchurch and speaking
at the summit meeting on Feb 22, but on Feb 18 announced she was cancelling her visit 3.
The Deputy Administrator of FEMA (US Federal Emergency Management Agency), Timothy Manning, just
happened to be in Christchurch at the time with a US delegation.
All of the rest of the delegation left Christchurch shortly before the quake hit except for Mr Manning who stayed
behind, and then after the quake hit he assisted with directing the emergency response.
Exactly the same thing happened with FEMA delegates with the Haiti earthquake. In Haiti , the FEMA delegates
just happened to be there at the time conducting training exercises for responding to major earthquakes."
Recent releases from Wikileaks resulted in the headline below:
Hillary Clinton Emails Show Advanced Warning of Christchurch Earthquake.

In the days before the catastrophic Japanese Earthquake (that occurred on March 11, 2016), world renowned research
institution, MIT, yet again, noted extremely profound and anomalous atmospheric heating directly over the quake
epicenter. MIT published the following report:
"Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake
Infrared emissions above the epicenter increased dramatically in the days before the devastating earthquake in
Japan, say scientists.
They say that before the M9 earthquake, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over
the epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck.
At the same time, satellite observations showed a big increase in infrared emissions from above the epicentre,
which peaked in the hours before the quake. In other words, the atmosphere was heating up."
Though the science community is desperately trying to link pre-quake atmospheric heating to some unknown phenomenon
of an atmospheric coupling with the pressure buildup in the strata, is this a rational conclusion?
The much more logical and straightforward conclusion is this, the atmospheric heating is being intentionally created by the
global network of ionosphere heaters as immense microwave signals are bounced off of the atmosphere and back down into
the planet.
Unfortunately, the science community is not allowed to even consider this possibility, let alone talk about it. In the period
preceding the decimating Japanese earthquake, US Japanese relations were very strained.
The post-quake scenario of US/Japanese relations seemed to suddenly be unquestionable, was there a connection? Was
the catastrophic quake just a natural event? Or an engineered warning to Japan?
On the 13th of November, 2016, another catastrophic earthquake struck near Christchurch, New Zealand.
The list of troubling questions surrounding this earthquake is long and growing. Below are some quotes from seismologist
Anna Kaiser (who is investigating the latest New Zealand earthquake activity):
"We don't know what we are dealing with right now but it may be it involves potentially more than one fault we
need to figure out what was going on before and after the 7.5 magnitude quake "
Kaiser went on to say this:
"We're working very hard this is looking quite complex. The epicenter was possibly just south of the Hope fault,
but it did look like "something else was going on.
The seismologist statements are only the beginning, there are many more concerning factors surrounding the latest New
Zealand Earthquake that should be considered.
In spite of the unfolding US election circumstances, in the days before the latest New Zealand quake John Kerry first went to
Christchurch, and then on to McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
The stated purpose of Kerry's visit was to examine the effects of global warming and the record low sea ice, but this trip at
this time was criticized by some.
"US Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to head back to New Zealand after checking out summer in
Antarctica.
He's been criticized for heading to such a remote place while the US election riveted the world
He tweeted a photograph of himself boarding C-17 cargo plane in Christchurch saying "headed to Antarctica to see
firsthand some of the drastic effects of climate change".
In Antarctica he was scheduled to meet with scientists and researchers at McMurdo Station, the largest research
station of the US Antarctic programme, as well as visit surrounding areas on Ross Island, and the US
Government's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
He is the first secretary of state and the most senior US government official to ever travel to Antarctica.
He is hosted by the US National Science Foundation, which manages the US Antarctic program me."
In fact Antarctica has just broken a new climate record, with record low winter sea ice. After a peak of 18.5 million square
kilometers in late August, sea ice began retreating about a month ahead of schedule and has been setting daily low records
through most of September.
Though Antarctic sea ice (and global sea ice) are at record shattering low levels, why else might John Kerry go to McMurdo
Station at this exact window of time? Could the ionosphere heater (microwave transmission) facility that is constructed at
McMurdo be a factor?
Noctilucent clouds in the skies above Antarctica are an ominous harbinger of the atmospheric damage that is occurring there
"Many are under the belief that HAARP, now labeled IRI, no longer exists Operationally due to the
Gakona, AK spin. One must understand that these Frequency Generators are Globally Ubiquitous. There are so
many that are of dissimilar designs, and go by different acronyms, it is not seen as functionally one and the same.
In the case of McMurdos Radome and all of the Radar equipment there; Raytheon has had the contracts
beginning to end. The National Science Foundation and Raytheon Polar Services Company are housed in the
same building. For years the station has grown. It can house 1258 personnel and an average of 200 winter over."
Raytheon is one of the largest private "defense contractors" on the planet, this corporation is also the holder of
numerous climate engineering patents including some that relate directly to ionosphere heaters. The power structure is likely
microwaving the skies for a multitude of reasons, none of those reasons are in the interest of the common good.
Shocking atmospheric flashing lights were filmed in the skies above New Zealand as the massive Earthquake was
occurring.
Kerry returned to Christchurch from Antarctica, and then promptly (and conveniently) departed only hours before the
catastrophic earthquake struck.
The statement below is from CBS news.

"Sec. John Kerry had left the country before it struck, and just landed in Singapore on his way to Oman when news
of the quake was reported.
Is it just a coincidence that US officials always seem to safely depart quake impact zones just prior to the event?
Then there is this headline to consider:
"Worlds Biggest Seismic Testing Blast Ship Amazon Warrior Parked on top of New Zealand Fault
Line
Is this just a coincidence?
Another point of interest, New Zealanders protested against US Oil exploration continued right up to the day before the
quake. Then there was the conflict in New Zealand over the visit of a US warship, this story was covered the day before the
quake hit.
The New Zealand Prime Minister's apparent apprehension about the US election results just days prior to the quake are also
of interest.
Finally, could known massive oil deposits just off the New Zealand coast also be a part of the equation?
Microwave transmission signals/rings near Antarctica are clearly visible in the satellite composite image shown below.
The regions of New Zealand near the epicenter have been constantly assaulted with aerosols spraying and microwave
transmissions.
The uniform ribbing of aerosolized cloud cover is a clear indication of microwave transmission exposure.
Though some "official" sources try to explain this type of cloud pattern as being a result of the underlying land topography,
this explanation is patently false.
The same patterns are now regularly seen over oceans as well as land as is shown in the satellite photo below that was
taken of New Zealand directly over the quake region.
The image below bears testimony to what the global power structure does to those that try to get in the way of their agendas
and operations.
This photo is of the bridge of the Greenpeace ship "The Rainbow Warrior". It was bombed and sunk by the French Secret
Service in order to prevent the ship and its crew from witnessing ongoing illegal and unimaginably destructive nuclear
detonations.
Over 2 decades ago I dove alone on the wreck of the Rainbow Warrior, as it laid on the seafloor off the coast of New
Zealand. I swam through the area shown above, around the ship, and examined the gapping bomb blast hole in the hull of
the once noble vessel. I hovered over the wreck and contemplated the tyranny of those who rule the world.
We are all at a crossroads, and the horizon is darkening rapidly. The power structure wields weapons of unimaginable
destruction, they can only do so because of the order-followers that carry out their insanity. As the saying goes, "we have
seen the enemy, and they are us".
It is up to us, the people, all of us, to refuse any further participation in the insanity. It is up to us to fully investigate and fully
face the whole truth. It is up to us to prioritize the fight for the greater good because we owe that debt to our children, to the
planet, and to the whole.
Make your voice heard, while you can, while it can still matter.
New Zealand Earthquake: The Worlds Biggest Offshore Seismic Blasting Ship The
Amazon Warrior
Dots: Super-supermoon, Climate change huckster American Politician, Amazon Warrior, Oil
Exploration and Mapping for drilling, Earthquake M7.5 and plates shifting generating many
aftershocks the entire length of the fault line through NZ.
The 11/13/16 quake, with a magnitude of 7.8, was much stronger than the magnitude-6.3 quake in 2011. But it also
was much deeper - striking 23 kilometers (14 miles) below the earth's surface. The 2011 quake had a depth of just 5
kilometers (3 miles). The shallower a quake is, the more destruction it tends to cause.
The evil empire are after New Zealand's unobtainium. First shake up the locals, destroy infrastructure, weaken the economy
and then extort deals to rape the resources of the country.
If you were planning to do seismic blasting off the coast of a Country, the best time to do it would be with the super full moon
wouldnt it? So that people only discuss that as the possible reason.
Kaikoura was clearly the target now destroyed, and that basin is full of the precious oil for the foreign bankers and the only
thing stopping them was the people of Kaikoura - now homeless and to be relocated by NZ Navy ship. Kaikoura is also
known for its whale populations, the area should be protected from ALL sonic oil exploration and Naval activity!
The Worlds Biggest Seismic Testing Ship - The US "Amazon Warrior" - Parked On Top Of New
Zealand Fault Line during the November 13, 2016 Earthquake!
The Worlds biggest seismic blasting ship the Amazon Warrior was photographed off Rarangi Beach in Cloudy Bay last
night. Right on top of a major fault line. The ship was met with protests when it arrived on the 13th! It was seen off the
Coast of Kaikoura on Nov. 13th, but its ETA from Panama was 10 am on Nov 14th in Wellington.
The Amazon Warrior came from Panama, was seen off of Kaikoura on the 13th and then went to anchor off of Cloudy Bay
at the top of the South Island, across the channel from Wellington. If you are steaming to NZ from Panama, and your
destination is Wellington, then there is no need to go an extra 95 miles south before arriving at your charted destination;
after a long sea journey of 7,353 miles.
This fact alone shows that there was something very fishy going on in the state of Aotearoa.
If their scheduled arrival was for 10am on the 14th in Wellington, then their trip to Kaikoura was already calculated into their
original ETA. The AW's estimated project-to-project transit speed is 17 knots or 19.5633 mph. Thus traveling the 7353 miles
to NZ will take around 16 days, and the last report in Vessel Finder was Oct 25, 2016 17:52 UTC which was probably the
departure time from Panama.
Roughly Oct 26 to Oct 13 is 19 days, so they left plenty of leeway to ensure they could make it to Kaikoura before heading
to Wellingtonhowever rather than 3 days leeway, it is only 2 days because NZ is one day ahead of Panama.
On a ship like the Amazon Warrior... to travel 95 miles distance from Kaikoura to Wellington it takes around 5 hours, so they
have 1.75 days to engage in their seismic mayhem. The ship only pulled into Cloudy Bay to avoid the protesters at
Wellington. Yea, rather obvious isn't it. By their deeds shall they shall be known.
Further information on the Amazon Warrior is available here and here.
The Amazon Warrior is owned by WesternGeco which is a geophysical services company. It is headquartered in
the Schlumberger House on the property of London Gatwick Airport in Crawley, West Sussex, and also has an office in
Denver CO. The company provides reservoir imaging, monitoring, and development services.
The company, a business segment of Schlumberger, offers 3D and time-lapse seismic surveys, electromagnetic surveys,
and multicomponent surveys for delineating prospects and reservoir management.
The giant defense contractor Raytheon, now holds all 12 HAARP patents. HAARP devises can be made mobile on ships,
such as the HAARP Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) platform.
A HAARP phased array antenna system was transmitting the 2.5Hz ULF frequency and it triggered the 9.0 magnitude
earthquake off of Japan and ensuing tsunami.
The earthquake inducing 2.5 Hz ULF frequency was being broadcasted for two days prior to March 11, 2011during which
time the sky over Tokyo turned red as the ionosphere was pulled down into the oxygen rich atmosphere. DARPA is also
developing an airborne version of HAARP.

Any country that is in the way of an oil pipeline, has valuable and strategic resources, or threatens to drop the $US dollar
standard is in danger of being chemtrailed, HAARP zapped and attacked with earthquakes and extreme weather events.
The earthquake frequency can be focused on an area during a solar flare event or full moon and once the earthquake is
triggered, a seismic research vessel like the Amazon Warrior can take readings of the shockwaves moving through the
earths crust and get an excellent picture of oil deposits even at very deep levels.
Ray Tomes:
America and NZ tested a system of using bombs to cause seismic activity and make tsunamis as a weapon in
1944 off the coat of NZ (yes, 72 years ago). "Preliminary modelling suggests that the earthquake was caused by a
rupture of a northeast-striking fault that projects to the surface offshore"
Related: What happened in New Zealand's magnitude 7.5 earthquake?
The Amazon Warrior is due to commence imminent seismic testing for oil on behalf of Norwegian Oil giant Statoil. Seismic
testing involves the dragging of a seismic airgun along the seabed, emitting seismic blasts every 10 seconds, 24 hours a
day, from now until next May.
Statoil acquired their permit from American multinational oil corporation Chevron, and the permit extends along the eastern
seaboard and to depths that are unprecedented for New Zealand.
Seismic blasting has been proven to be disruptive and harmful to sea life, including marine mammals, and is opposed by
coastal fishing interests and eco-tourism operators including Ngi Tahus Whale Watch ventures.
Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) is an American multinational energy corporation. One of the successor companies of
Standard Oil, it is headquartered in San Ramon, California, and active in more than 180 countries.
Standard Oil Co. Inc. was an American oil producing, transporting, refining, and marketing company. Established in 1870
by John D. Rockefeller as a corporation in Ohio, it was the largest oil refiner in the world of its time.
Tesla-HAARP-Earthquakes
Tesla quaked Manhattan around Houston St. with a small resonant device attached to a beam in his workshop/lab, and
smashed it with a hammer when it started to shake things to a dangerous level, which stopped the quake instantly.
One of his basic working principles was resonance, mechanical and electromagnetic. It's how the Tesla coil drives up huge
voltage on a low current.
HAARP is an adaptation of Tesla technology used for nefarious purposes. The microwave array broils the Upper
Atmosphere to 100F with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam, that lifts areas of the ionosphere by heating those
areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything - living and dead.
Along with chemtrails and this heating of the atmosphere with HAARP dries up precipitation thus producing drought. I learnt
somewhere they
HAARP uses sunspot cycles, sunspots, solar flares, hurricanes, fault tension build ups etc... for a EMF assisted corporate-
political warfare. HAARP is boost assist and director of natural energies. They can even reflect of the moon to generate
massive explosions.
On the HAARP web site in 2001 discussed successful moon bounce experiments (done since the 1960's by HAM radio
operators) see: HAARP array may use Moon as a reflector to reach distant targets on Earth to create Nuclear-Sized
Explosions Without Radiation!. In order to target the moon you need a steerable array and three arrays minimum are
required.

HAARP is capable of creating weather like hurricanes and tornadoes and tsunamis and earthquakes. It is also capable of
altering peoples moods.
NASA tomographic image of the subducted Farallon Plate in the mantle beneath eastern North America
Earth tomography is used by the oil and gas industry to find deposits. Tomography refers to imaging by sections or
sectioning, through the use of any kind of penetrating wave or mechanical method. ELF waves or extremely low frequency
waves can trigger an earthquake on faults that have built up tension.
Thus a ship like Amazon Warrior with even weak exploratory ELF waves can trigger fault lines into concussive domino effect
earthquakes of any magnitude depending on how much tension is held in the tectonic ridges.
HAARP Weapon How to Make an Earthquake
Conclusion
It appears that the earthquake was accidentally triggered by the Amazon Warrior's exploratory ELF waves...then they
quickly pulled out of the area to avoid being held responsible, but didn't go to Wellington due to the protest, and possible
fear of reprisal from the New Zealand Navy.
However it is illegal to travel through New Zealand waters and conduct personal "business" PRIOR to checking in officially
at one's port of entry first.
I conclude that the 11/13 quakes were accidentally triggered by an oil exploratory vessel working for Chevron. So
Chevron should be made responsible for picking up the tab for repairing the damage to the countrys infrastructure
and the lives of the people by this little chiropractic adjustment to the backbone of New Zealand.
The ship went about their business conducting their "research" in New Zealand territorial waters PRIOR to officially
checking in with customs.
Plus this sortie was premeditated due to the original ETA, and so their actions were criminal and secretive... by going for the
gold (oil) first before being invited into the country.
However reading the shenanigans of US officials in Christchurch before and after the 2011 quake....it appears that the
11/13/16 quake swarm was likely deliberate, and appears to be an act of economic war.

Goldman Sachs And the Sacking of New Zealand
Goldman Sachs appears to be undertaking economic warfare on areas to drive up the prices of its commodities

Canadian wildfires, pipeline attacks in Nigeria and the Gulf Oil Spill are likely sabotage undertaken by Goldman Sachs to
drive up prices for its own benefit.
In New Zealand now, the Christchurch and Kaikoura quakes and the Rena shipwreck toxic spill event are acts of
war against a sovereign nation for economic gain and to intimidate and demoralize Kiwis into submission to the
poisoning and sacking of their country.
On 5 October 2011 the Rena ran aground near Tauranga, New Zealand, resulting in an oil spill. The spill has been
described as New Zealand's worst maritime environmental disaster.
The ship was carrying 1,368 containers, eight of which contained hazardous materials, as well as 1,700 tonnes of heavy fuel
oil and 200 tonnes of marine diesel oil.

Natural Health: The Silver Bullet To Medical Vampires + Australia To Search Out And
Prosecute Anti-Vax Nurses And Midwives; Calls For Public To Turn Them In
November 16 2016 | From: Sott / NaturalBlaze / Various
It turns out that unvaccinated children aren't little time bombs walking around ready to blow and
spread devastating disease in their wake. That's a myth. It's told by the medical cartel, for their
own obvious reasons.
And it turns out that children raised in a healthy way are strong, and have strong immune systems. This was once
viscerally known and understood and accepted as a truism.
Related: CDC Blocks Whistleblower From Vaccine Injury Testimony
Those who insist on 50 or 60 shots of germs and toxic chemicals for every child, like it or not, are participating in an ongoing
criminal enterprise.
Their vision is unnatural and perverse.
It turns out that stimulating the production of antibodies - which is the purpose of vaccines - is not the be-all and
end-all of existence. It isn't the road to health. It isn't an automatic lease on life.
Every aspect of a child's life contributes to, or detracts from, his immune-system health and strength. This is traditional
knowledge. This basic tree of knowledge has been shaken and hacked at by decades of remorseless propaganda from
official medical/government/corporate mob bosses.
The vaccine establishment has become a protection racket. Take your shots or pay the social and political consequences.
Natural health is a reality. It isn't a stunt.
When smallpox ravaged England, it wasn't the lone work of a virus. It was sewage in the city streets, horrendous
overcrowding, lack of basic nutrition, grinding poverty. It was also the smallpox vaccine:
"Smallpox, like typhus, has been dying out (in England) since 1780. Vaccination in this country has largely fallen into disuse
since people began to realize how its value was discredited by the great smallpox epidemic of 1871-2 (which occurred after
extensive vaccination)." (W. Scott Webb, A Century of Vaccination, Swan Sonnenschein, 1898.)
And then there is this:
The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen
shows that nearly 90 percent of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the
introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization.
In part, this recession may be attributed to improved housing and to a decrease in the virulence of micro-
organisms, but by far the most important factor was a higher host-resistance due to better nutrition."
- Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis, Bantam Books, 1977
Improve environmental conditions and the standard of living, and you pave the way for natural health. It's not a
mystery. It never was.
The basic purpose of promoting these dud "epidemics" that come down the pipeline every few years is: to
convince the population that they can't live in a state of natural health; there is no such thing as natural health;
everyone must live their lives under the constant supervision of doctors.
This is becoming the central myth of our times. It is becoming the primary form of surrender. Natural health is a silver bullet
to medical vampires.
Related: Former UK Govt Science Chief Warned Of MMR Vaccine-Autism Link
How many studies can you find that investigate the factors of health in children who do quite well without overriding medical
attention? How many studies in peer reviewed journals examine large groups of healthy unvaccinated children? None.
Health is basically a non-medical condition. The primary medical psyop is the effort to erase that understanding.
Every healthy unvaccinated child is a refutation of the medical cartel.
If your business is sickness, and you're unscrupulous, it stands to reason you'll try to find more and more
sickness, even, and especially, where it doesn't exist.
You'll never study health, because it would put you out of business.

Australia To Search Out And Prosecute Anti-Vax Nurses And Midwives; Calls For
Public To Turn Them In
While Australia whines about the lack of democracy and freedom in places like Syria, it is doing
everything in its power to ensure that nothing resembling either of those things is allowed within
its own borders.
Apparently having found itself in a race with France, Germany, the UK and the United States, for which country can
eliminate personal liberties, freedom of speech - or even thought - while launching wars all across the world on the
basis of protecting those things, Australia is proving itself to be a capable competitor.
Related: CDC police will eventually arrest the unvaccinated as diseased criminals
The examples of Australias thought control policies are legion, but the most recent is surrounding the vaccination hysteria in
the ability of free adults to choose whether or not they accept toxic chemicals (or life-saving medicines with no side effects)
into their bodies.
According to a report by the Guardian, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia has announced a fatwa of jihad against
nurses and midwives who discourage vaccination or are critical of vaccines.
After releasing vaccination standards the boards statement reads:
The board is taking this opportunity to make its expectations about providing advice on vaccinations clear to
registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives. The board expects all registered nurses, enrolled nurses and
midwives to use the best available evidence in making practice decisions."
Of course, when the board says best available evidence it means vaccine fanaticism and unquestioning
adherence to faith-based science.
Under Australian law, promoting false, misleading or deceptive information will be prosecuted by the Australian health
practitioner regulation agency. The NMBA is specifically targeting nurses and midwives who question the safety or
effectiveness of vaccination via social media.
The statement goes even further by urging members of the public to report nurses or midwives who are doing so even on
social media.
Obviously, Australia must consider one of its founding documents to be George Orwells 1984 although we are afraid
Australian leadership may have missed the point of the book.
Related: The end of medical freedom and the rise of mandatory vaccinations
Professor of Midwifery at the University of Western Sydney, Dr. Hannah Dahlan supports the new policy. She says;
I agree that they have a very serious obligation to provide the best available evidence, and it is of course
concerning that some are taking to social media in order to express a position not backed by science.
But Dahlan also says that she is worried that the policy may have some unintended effects.
The worry, she says, is the confirmation bias that can occur, because people might say: there you go, this is
proof that you cant even have an alternative opinion. It might in fact just give people more fuel for their belief
systems.
Actually, this is undeniably proof that you cant even have an alternative opinion. In case Mrs. Dahlans degree did
not require an understanding of logic, banning someone from expressing an alternative opinion does indeed serve
as proof to them that they are not allowed to have an alternative opinion.
In all fairness, neither Dahlan nor the NMBA are saying you cannot have an alternative belief that contradicts the Borg. They
are merely saying that if you express that belief even on social media, you will lose your job, have your license to practice
taken away and possibly be sent to jail.
If anyone ever proved Voltaires statement that in order to learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not
allowed to criticize the NMBA has closed the case.
Remember, when Dahlan worries about positions that are not backed by science, she does not mean science, but Big
Pharma, the NMBA that Big Pharma owns and the Australian government. Coming from a government that only 40 years
ago did not even consider its indigenous people to be humans, we definitely say there is room for error.
Predictably, the Australia Medical Association is getting in on the act too. The AMA President, Dr. Michael Gannon
stated, Immunization saves lives. That is an undeniable fact."
Notwithstanding the redundancy of the latter part of the brilliant Dr. Gannons statement, that immunization saves
lives is very deniable and is in no way a fact.
Gannon also touted the governments no jab, no pay policy as having improved public health because 6,000 children whose
parents who had previously registered as conscientious objectors were effectively threatened with the possibility of not being
able to feed those children, losing them, or losing their homes into vaccinating.
Of course, Gannons statement proves nothing, except that 6,000 children were vaccinated, not that public health
was improved.
Indeed, according to Gannons logic, we could disembowel 795 million people and claim that we eliminated world hunger.
Thankfully, no one is arguing to do that, but lets hope that Dr. Gannon is never made president of the World Food Program.
In all seriousness, however, the new initiative by the NMBA is just yet another example of the downward spiral of Australia
and most of the Western world into authoritarianism and into a scientific dictatorship.
While Westerners shiver in fear over Vladimir Putin defending his borders, they are none the wiser as their own
countries march directly down the same path as Russia in the early 20th century.

Catherine Austin Fitts: What's About To Happen To The Economy

November 9 2016 | From: Sott
"How is the government going to get people to pay their taxes if the government is not viewed as
legitimate?"- Catherine Austin Fitts
The world economy is designed to fail through the mechanism of a banking system that requires all users of
money to pay usury every time a transaction takes place.
Related: More Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man: "This Time, Theyre Coming For Your Democracy"
In this way, the financial systems of the world can be manipulated into a managed collapse, thereby causing global chaos so
that the world's nations and citizens can be tricked into demanding a global currency managed a global elite.
Who is Catherine Austin Fitts?
Catherine is the president of Solari, Inc., publisher of The Solari Report, and managing member of Solari
Investment Advisory Services, LLC, based in the US.
Catherine served as managing director and member of the board of directors of a Wall Street investment bank and
as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration.
Catherine offers a unique perspective on how to navigate the opportunities and risks in the global financial Isystem
and political economy.
The Solari Reports mission is to help people build wealth in ways that build real wealth in the wider economy.
She believes that personal and family wealth is a critical ingredient of both individual freedom and community
health and wealth.
Catherine graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (BA), the Wharton School (MBA) and studied Mandarin
Chinese at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She lives in Tennessee, USA.
Problem, reaction, solution. Economic hit man John Perkins wrote about this strategy as it was used in the 20th century to
bring developing nations under the control of the international monetary fund and transnational profiteers, and at present this
scheme is being globalized.
If an EHM is completely successful, the loans are so large that the debtor is forced to default on its payments after
a few years. When this happens, then like the Mafia we demand our pound of flesh.
This often includes one or more of the following: control over United Nations votes, the installation of military
bases, or access to precious resources such as oil or the Panama Canal.
Of course, the debtor still owes us the money - and another country is added to our global empire."
- John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
For decades now, the dollar has been in a slow burn style of collapse, and while many journalists, primarily outside of the
mainstream, have been warning the world about how and why this is happening, we're quickly approaching a turning
point, where the slow burn moves into something more severe.
While at first glance this seems like a frightening potentiality, the truth is that an economic collapse may very well be our
best chance at freeing ourselves from the rule of the Gods of Money.
A Whistleblower Warns Us and Gives Us Hope
Speaking to Greg Hunter of USA Watchdog news, former Wall Street banker and former Assistant Secretary of Housing
and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush
Administration, Catherine Austin Fitts explains why the slow burn is about to come to an end.
The system has the capacity with monetary policy in one sense to keep going forever if the force and military
capacity is there to do it, but at some point, you burn through the fat, you burn through the muscle and then you
have to change institutions."
- Catherine Austin Fitts
During the financial crisis of 2008, the government was able to prevent an uncontrolled firestorm collapse of the system by
colluding with the chiefs of the financial sector, giving them bailouts of extraordinary magnitude, then inflating the dollar by
the Federal Reserve's introduction of quantitative easing.
Eight years later, this tactic has reached its limit, however it has given the public significant reason and time to understand
why our economy functions the way it does, and people are losing faith in our leadership.
"It's going to be extremely difficult to get people to continue to pay their taxes when they're highly
confident the money's not being spent legally and it's going to the advantage of small parties or things
that they don't understand. And so you can't move further without institutional overhaul."
The thing that frightens her most is the fact that groups within the U.S., such as ALEC, are already calling for changes in the
law and even a new constitutional convention to overhaul these institutions.
The financial sector has already been operating outside of the law and beyond the constitution for some twenty plus years,
and if we haven't been using the constitution, she notes, then why do they wish to change it?
"If you want to enforce the Constitution or fix things, that's what you do. The reason you get a Constitutional
Convention is you want to tear it up because you're worried, now that people realize the extent of the corruption,
that they're going to try and enforce."
Her warning is that as people continue to wake up to the corruption of our government and financial rulers, the entrenched
elites who are fully invested in destroying the middle class will fight tooth and nail to prevent us from holding them
accountable, by means of bringing more Draconian laws into place to protect themselves.
In this light, the economic war that is brewing isn't completely technical, it is social as well, quickly becoming class
warfare. The world's financial elite are in grave danger of being held to the fire for their crimes, and surely they
know they how quickly things can change in favor of the populous, as historical events like the French Revolution
have shown.
Prepare Now
As individuals stuck in the debt-slave matrix, there is very little we can do to challenge this sort of massive global scheme as
it's happening, however, preparing now for collapse is our best chance of chucking our burden of debt to these people, if
they are even human, and of creating a future without such obvious criminal financial tyranny holding us back.
Working now to expose these criminals is imperative so that when the ball drops, ordinary people understand why, how and
who is truly to blame, thereby making resisting to the takeover possible.
Taking care of personal emergency preparations by gathering healthy storable foods, networking in your community, and
having plans in place to survive are absolutely necessary at this stage, and once this is done, efforts to awaken others are
critical.
New Zealand Government Has Pledged Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Taxpayer Funds
To The Corrupt Clinton Foundation & Clinton Health Access Initiatives
November 6 2016 | From: NationalBusinessReview / WakeUpNZ
The New Zealand government will continue supporting the Clinton Foundation's flagship project
by donating a further $6 million despite a new wave of recent controversy surrounding the
charitable organisation.
Question: WHY is John Key sending our money to a knowingly corrupt operation? Does this make him complicit in
the ongoing fraudulent machinations of the Clinton related criminal Cabal activities? Does he even have any choice
at this juncture? And what the hell will happen to John Key when this whole farce comes falling down given the
mathematical certainty of just that outcome?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) tells NBR it has "no intention to further review our support for the Clinton
Health Access Initiative (CHAI)."
CHAI began as an initiative under the Clinton Foundation but has since been separated out to a non-profit organisation with
a focus on reducing the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine in sub-Saharan Africa.
CHAI accounts for almost two-thirds of the Clinton Foundation's annual income and expense according to online disclosures
and was, until recently, vice-chaired by Chelsea Clinton with former US President Bill Clinton serving as a board member.
Following political pressure, CHAI released a list of all of its donors from the past six years, along with how much they had
donated in August.

Foundation FBI Has Enough Evidence To Indict
It turns out, MFAT was on the list and near the top alongside the likes of the World Health Organisation, Save the Children
and the Rockefeller Foundation, which all donated between &US1-5 million. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was one
of CHAI's biggest donors, along with the Australian government, which donated more than $US25 million to the
organisation.
MFAT says it has donated to the CHAI since 2013 through New Zealand's Aid Programme.
The programme has been providing funding and technological assistance for the agriculture-strengthening component of a
project in Rwanda and Ethiopia.
MFAT had an original budget of $13.7 million to distribute to CHAI, of which $7.7 million has been distributed to date, with a
further $6 million remaining. It has a $1.7 billion budget over three years, of which most will be delivered through
international organisations such as CHAI, an MFAT spokesman says.
MFAT's only support for CHAI has been through the funding of a project that aims to significantly reduce child malnutrition
and raise incomes in Rwanda and Ethiopia, he says.
In Hot Water
CHAI has recently found itself at the centre of controversy in the US. US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as been
forced to defend the Clinton Foundation on her campaign trail, following accusations by her Republican rival Donald Trump,
along with other Republicans, that wealthy donors may be expecting favourable treatment from the US Government.
Although Mrs Clinton denies this, the foundation last month revealed that it will no longer receive donations from foreigners
to corporations if Mrs Clinton won the race for the White House. But the organisation made no mention of CHAI at the time.
After weeks of speculation, in early September a CHAI spokeswoman announced that the initiative would take steps to
sever ties with the Clinton family and if Mrs Clinton is elected president and would spin CHAI into a "completely
independent" charity.

But CHAI does not plan on implementing restrictions on where it can raise money - meaning it can still accept donations
from New Zealand.
The controversy did not stop there. Just weeks after CHAI's decision, US Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn
released a 17-page report slamming CHAI's "self-serving" philanthropy in sub-Saharan Africa.
The report, titled: The Clinton Foundation and the "India Success Story: Self-serving philanthropy, watered down drugs and
money in sub-Saharan Africa, alleges the Clinton Foundation "likely facilitated the distribution of watered-down HIV/AIDS
medications in sub-Saharan Africa through it's Health Access Initiative [CHAI].
The report scrutinises the relationship the relationship between CHAI and Indian pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy, which
partnered with the initiative in 2003, working with CHAI to combat HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Ranbaxy Laboratories,
now owned by Sun Pharma, is a multinational pharmaceutical company.
Related: Bill Gates And George Soros Fund Monsanto And A World Depopulation Agenda
One of CHAI's main roles is to bring together buyers of antiretroviral drugs used to fight HIV/AIDS, such as governments,
non-profits and multilateral aid organisations, with sellers such as Ranbaxy.
The initiative has, by most accounts been successful in bringing down the price of the lifesaving drugs and has been
welcomed by the global community. But Ranbaxy has run into problems with US regulators.
Ms Blackburn's report says a former employee of the company turned whistleblower, Dinesh Thakur, confirmed the
company's HIV/AIDs antiretrovirals were adulterated.
The US government took Ranbaxy to court in 2007 resulting in the company pleading guilty to seven felonies and paying a
half billion dollar fine in 2013.
Related: Hillary Clintons Relationship With The Rothschild / Rockefeller Establishment Is Now On Full Display
Ms Blackburn also suggests the adulterated drugs may have "increased patient mortality rates" in the region.
MFAT won't comment on the report but says its funding is focused on providing technical assistance for agriculture-
strengthening components of projects in Rwanda and Ethiopia, as well as working with local farmers to aid in the
development of factories to produce food.
Comment: Horse shit. This is a PR spin - once the money is released to the Clinton Foundation, MFAT and the New
Zealand government have NO IDEA as to what use they are put. Then again, they very may well know all too well.

$13.7 Million Dollars Of New Zealand Taxpayer Funds Pledged To Shady Clinton
Charity
It has been revealed that millions of New Zealand taxpayer dollars have been donated by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to Hillary Clintons charity, the Clinton Health
Access Initiative (CHAI), a non-profit organisation created from the Clinton Foundation with the
stated goal to reduce HIV/AIDs in Africa.
An MFAT spokesman confirmed to the NBR that between January 2010 and June 2016, $7.7 million of taxpayer
funds had already been donated and another $6 million was to follow, keeping to a pledge to donate $13.7 million
made by the government organisation in 2013.

compromised' Clinton Foundation
ACT party member David Seymour commented:
In a world where New Zealanders can crowdsource to buy a beach, its not clear what role there is for the
government to collect taxes and contribute it to a global charity which is more than capable of reaching out and
raising its own money.
The big question is, why is our government sending millions of dollars overseas while at the same time cutting funding for
crucial services which desperately need the money here in New Zealand?
To fully understand how Clinton charities operate and decide whether a single taxpayer dollar should have been donated,
we first need to look at some of the controversies.
Over the past 15 years, the Washington Post can reveal the charities have raised over $2 billion dollars, mainly from big
corporates, foreign governments and political donors. Many have called the contributions pay for play, where powerful
donors exchange funds for future political favours.
Speeches make up a large part of the revenue stream, with the Clintons earning hundreds of thousands per speech from
the likes of big Wall Street banks including Goldman Sachs as revealed by WikiLeaks.
Related: The Clinton Chronicles
Hacked emails also released by WikiLeaks revealed that in 2012, Qatar pledged to donate US $1 million to the Clinton
Foundation raising a question of ethics after Hillary promised that while she was serving as secretary of the state donations
from foreign governments would no longer be accepted due to the potential influence on foreign policy.
It was also been revealed the Clinton charities utilised the devastating Haiti earthquake to implement disaster capitalism,
funneling funds into Haiti under the pretense of aid but only for the funds to flow away from the Haitians desperately in need
and instead to companies who had made previously large donations to the Clinton Foundation.
Then there is the $145 million pay for play contributions made to the Clinton Foundation by shareholders of Canadian
company Uranium One, a mining company with concessions in Kazakhstan and the US.
Uranium One sought to sell these concessions to the Russians, but the deal had to be approved by a government
committee due to the implications to national security.
Related: Criminal Roots: A Shocking Expos On The Clinton Family And Their Rise To Power
In return for the contributions and the extra $500,000 Bill Clinton received in speaking fees from a Russian investment bank,
the 20% purchase of US uranium assets by the Russians was approved, knowing this purchase would mean the production
of more nuclear weapons against Americas own interests.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative has also had its share of controversy.
US Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn recently released a 71 page report which slammed CHAIs self-serving
philanthropy in Africa, after the charity was found distributing watered down HIV/AIDS medications to sick Africans.
According to the report, these cheaper drugs which were provided by Ranbaxy Laboratories:
Subjected patients to increased risks of morbidity and mortality.
Ranbaxy later was found guilty of selling badly made generic drugs and fined a record US$500 million.

If Hillary is elected president, she has committed to changing how the Clinton Foundation operates. Bill Clinton has said:
The Foundation will accept contributions only from U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and U.S.- based
independent foundations, whose names we will continue to make public on a quarterly basis. And we will change
the official name from the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation to the Clinton Foundation. While I will continue
to support the work of the Foundation, I will step down from the Board and will no longer raise funds for it.
However, CHAI, which receives around 60% of the funds from the Clinton Foundation, has yet to decide whether it will also
refuse foreign government donations if she was to win, and when asked for comment on CHAI the Clinton campaign
spokesman declined.
Theres no doubt the Clinton charities have done some incredible work overseas through CHAI, but the manner in which
these charities are utilised as vehicles for personal benefit can not be ignored.
With strong financial ties to Wall Street, big pharmaceuticals and other large corporate sponsors, its clear the charities are
being used as avenues to channel funds under the guise of philanthropy.
What is of great concern here in New Zealand is the level of taxpayer funded donations made to Hillarys charity without
public knowledge, and how quiet the mainstream media has been about it.
John Key and the National Party clearly have no issue using millions of taxpayer funds as bribes, revealed by the
corrupt Saudi sheep deal, so it should be of no surprise to see the government fund a shady charity found to be
acting only for self serving interests.
We need to hold our government accountable for where taxpayer funds are being applied, especially when gifted to charities
operated by corrupt American political figureheads.
Our country currently can not afford to be sending millions of dollars overseas. Instead of donating the remaining $6 million
pledged to CHAI, we demand that MFAT reallocate the funds within New Zealand to help assist those struggling under our
poverty and homelessness crisis.

feature Inside the Clinton Donor Network.

resulting corruption which can be viewed here.
The Globalization Of Media: A Failing Strike Force

November 3 2016 | From: JonRappoport
I begin this piece with three quotes from my work-in-progress, The Underground:
There is a media metaphysics. Its basic principle states that nothing exists until it becomes information. Now we
have a new twist: information only becomes real when it reaches a mind already attuned to it. In other words, the
tree falling in the forest makes a sound only if a user/consumer who wants a tree to fall receives video and audio of
the event

Information can be dressed up a thousand different ways. But it tends to have an elastic quality. By that I mean you
eventually get to see the person who dressed it up. Thats a problem for chronic liars who inhabit the press. They expose
themselves, even though they dont want to. It takes a surprisingly small push to expose the whole operation. This is
happening now, right in front of our eyes.
The basis of big media is theater. News is theater. Its directors and producers think theyre doing a first-rate job. But
theyre sadly mistaken. Gaps and obfuscations are growing larger. The outright non-sequiturs and gibberish are becoming
more apparent. The audience is wising up to the farce. Who are these fools who direct the news?
Theyre simply people who want to sell their souls and have found an elite buyer. But that transaction doesnt contain any
guarantees about shelf life. Mainstream news is decaying, and the expiration date is approaching. Like civilizations, the
petty princes of information rise and fall
Globalized media. Its nice plan. Lets examine it.

The new technocratic media is based on profiling users. There is no impactful news unless each member of the audience is
surveilled and analyzed on the basis of what he already likes and wants.
Shocking? Its to be expected. How else would technocrats parlay the untold hours theyve spent sizing up their

In other words, non-news. If you thought media were irrelevant and deceptive before, you havent seen anything. The new
news will create millions of virtual bubbles in which profiled users can float contentedly, under the cozy cottage roofs of their
favorite little separate paradigms.

In case you missed it, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter appeared on the Thom Hartmann Program in 2015 and,
during the interview, stated that the political scheme in the United States is far from what it seems.
Carter stated that America is now an oligarchy in which unlimited political bribery has resulted in a total
subversion of the political system as a payoff to major contributors.

with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the
same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members.
So now weve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and

Facing
The main objective of humanity should be "to eradicate" capitalism and imperialism,
recommended the Indigenous head of state.
On the International Day of Peace, Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned the imperialist and warmongering
policies of Israel and the United States during his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York
Wednesday.
"Israel's warmongering policies are probably one of the most barbaric examples in the world," said
Morales, vigorously condemning Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians.
"We have to stop the genocide against the Palestinians."
" As for the U.S., they must immediately end the blockade on Cuba and gave the island reparations", he said.
Imperialism and capitalism are the root causes of the issues humanity is facing in the 21st century, he added, and the main
objective of humanity should be "to eradicate" capitalism.
"Capitalism is the worse enemy of life and humanity, and of future generations; it destroys Mother Earth;
concentrates wealth the hands of a few; and generates extreme poverty," he told global leaders.
"If we don't build another system soon for society, we will replace sustainable development with sustainable
death," he warned.
"A lot of people in the world are either refugees or displaced, because of global warming or because of the
wars and conflicts, while more than 800 million people in the world are hungry," he stated.
"This is the face of capitalism."
"We condemn violence and terrorism but in order to address terrorism we must address the roots of this
plague: wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few: the greater the poverty and inequality, the greater the
discrimination, which encourages violence."
The leader highlighted that since Bolivia kicked out U.S. military bases, the fight against drug trafficking has significantly
improved, as the U.N. documented - contradicting what Washington argues.
"Terrorism and drug trafficking are twins that the North American empire uses in order to invade and
control the world, I am certain of that," he said.
"When the Drug Enforcement Agency was in Bolivia, only half of the drugs seized was incinerated, the
other was to get rich," he said, quoting information from military officials.
He also rejected the management of Luis Almagro as the head of the Organization of American States, "We don't need a
manager from the empire to govern us," he said, stressing that the existence of the OAS would no purpose if the
organization did not respect the sovereignty of peoples.
He expressed his support for the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro which has been targeted by Almagro.

Last year, David de Rothschild was indicted by the French government after he was accused of fraud in a scheme that
allegedly embezzled large sums of money from British pensioners.
One by one the pensioners lost their money and pressed charges against the notorious banker, beginning a case that would
take many years to get even an indictment.
In June, Paris-based liaison judge Javier Gmez Bermudez ruled that Rothschild must face a trial for his crimes, and
ordered local police to seek him out in his various mansions that are spread throughout the country.

lawyer Antonio Flores of Lawbird told the Olive Press after the ruling."
In short, independently of what happened to the investment, Rothschild advertised a loan aimed at reducing
inheritance tax, which is a breach of tax law, he added.
While news of a single Rothschild being indicted is certainly noteworthy, a particularly important announcement was made
this Friday.
The French government announced that it has launched an investigation into the entire Swiss branch of the Rothschilds

During the Battle of Waterloo in the Napoleonic wars, Nathan Rothschild was responsible for one of the oldest cases of
insider trading, which led to the Rothschild family robbing a whole nation blind.
In 1815 when the battle of Waterloo took place, there were no quick methods of communication like we have today, so
messengers were used for communication in times of war.

The Rothschilds took advantage of this by having spies on the frontlines of the battle who would return information to the
family faster than the messengers used by the military.
When the British won the war, Nathan Rothschild, was of course, the first to know, and he immediately went to the stock
exchange and started selling stocks while putting out the rumor that the French had won the war.
This created a panic on the floor of the stock exchange and investors all over England began frantically selling their stocks.
With the price of all stocks plummeting Rothschild was able to buy out the whole English market for a fraction of its cost.
When word returned that the English had actually been victorious, the value of the market soared, and overnight Nathan
Rothschild expanded his familys wealth, and cemented their position as one of the richest families in the world.

Donald Trump Exposes Globalist Control & Criminal Clintons Live In Florida Speech
+ All-Out Effort To Destroy Trump Proves He's Not Part Of The Establishment
October 17 2016 | From: NextNewsNetwork / NaturalNews / Various
Do you want to see the most epic destruction of the Clintons and the Obama Administration ever
recorded? Of course you do.
There's no longer any question whatsoever about whether Trump is an insider or outsider.

This election will determine whether we are a free nation or whether we are not a democracy, but are in fact controlled by a
handful of global special interests, rigging the system, and our system is rigged."
The full speech is available here: Donald Trump Responds To False Harassment Allegations: Florida Speech
This election will determine whether we are a free nation or whether we are not a democracy, but are in
fact controlled by a handful of global special interests, rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
This is reality, you know it, they know it, I know it and pretty much the whole world knows it.
The establishment and their media enablers, wield control over this nation through means that are very
well known. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally
deformed.
They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and your family, they will
seek to destroy everything about you including your reputation.
They will lie, lie, lie. And then again they will do worse than that.
They will do whatever is necessary, the Clintons are criminals, remember that. They are Criminals.
This is well documented and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover up of
widespread criminal activity at the State Department and the Clinton Foundation in order to keep the
Clintons in power.
Never in history have we seen such a cover up as this."
All-Out Effort To Destroy Trump Proves He's Not Part Of The Establishment
There's no longer any question whatsoever about whether Trump is an insider or outsider. The all-
out attack on Trump by the leftist media, democrats and the republican establishment now confirm
that the political elite are terrified of Donald Trump and will do anything to stop him.
As proof, just consider the "hot mic" lewd talking tape that was rolled out last Friday. This recording of Trump
speaking in a lewd, insensitive way about his sexual exploits with women was surreptitiously recorded over a
decade ago. It's now being seized upon by the same leftist media that whitewashes the entire history of Bill
Clinton's sexual assaults against women as well as Hillary's long history of extreme profanity and cursing at
everyone around her.
Related: The Donald Lives!
Over the last two days, many members of the Republican establishment have seized upon the tape to denounce Trump yet
again, ridiculously proclaiming they hold the moral high ground in America only because they've never yet been caught
hiring prostitutes or sodomizing little boys. (Yeah, do you really think these power-hungry Washington insiders are CLEAN
LIVING people? Get a grip...)
Fascinatingly, That's Actually Happening Right Now Across America, as Far as I Can Tell, is Three
things:
1. The people who were already opposed to Donald Trump are even more disgusted with his hot mic recording. But that
alone doesn't change the election because they weren't voting for him in the first place. Just because they hate him more
doesn't mean they get to vote twice. He lost their vote on day one when he said Rosie O'Donnell was a pig (or whatever he
said).
2. The people who have been supporting Donald Trump aren't surprised at all by his rude, crude demeanor in private.
Trump isn't the kind of president you elect when times are great and you need a polite head of state to represent your nation
with subtlety and etiquette.
Trump is an attack dog you elect as a last resort to try to save your country from being run into the ground by a
criminal cartel of government thugs. Trump, in other words, is a political SOLDIER. And soldiers talk s**t about
everybody, including men, women and especially their enemy. I don't care what he SAYS in private. I care what he DOES to
save America from being utterly overrun and destroyed.
3. People are realizing that EVERY power-seeking person has had similar moments of lewd talk in the past. From Barack
Obama's, Gotta have them ribs and p***y too! to the President's B*tch ni**a buy your own damn fries! escapade, the truth is
that everybody in power has moments of lewd, inappropriate speech.
If you think Hillary hasn't spoken this way to her own Secret Service guards, you're simply not informed about reality. Check
out 56 documented examples of Hillary Clinton cursing like mad over the last three decades.
The Trump Movement is Bigger than Donald Trump - It's Larger than Any One Person, No Matter
How Foul
The other big ah-ha in all this is that even if Donald Trump were to bow out of the election, the Trump movement
would continue to grow.
You didn't really think this was all about one man, did you? The rising up of people against the corrupt criminal elite is a
global phenomenon that's much larger than any one person.
The "Trump movement" isn't about Donald Trump the person -- who is a crude, aggressive political outsider -- it's about the
idea of demanding an end to government corruption and political elitism.
The Trump movement is about ending the Clinton nightmare for America. It's about giving the finger to Washington D.C. and
taking back our democracy from a corrupt class of professional criminals who have been in power for far too long.
Voting for Donald Trump isn't a vote for the person, it's a vote for the movement: the idea that real people across America
might regain their freedom from tyranny and oppression. It's about stopping the deliberate destruction of America by the
Obama / Clinton crime cartel, restoring accountability at the highest levels, and even indicting and imprisoning key
members of the criminal Washington elite.
A Do-or-Die Moment for America
This is a do-or-die moment for America. It's a simple choice between the ultimate corrupt insider (Hillary) vs. a total political
outsider that the entire establishment is desperately trying to destroy (Trump). If we elect Clinton, it's over for America. We
go down the rabbit hole of police state totalitarianism, the utter destruction of the Bill of Rights and will most likely end up in
a protracted civil war.
If we elect the outsider, we have one last chance to halt the tyranny, end the Clinton nightmare and send the political elite
packing.
This November 8th, we must elect the outsider regardless of how lewd, crude or insensitive he is in his private,
personal conversations. We aren't electing him to be a Saint. We're electing him to stop the Devil. Sometimes, you need a
nasty attack dog to get that job done.
Truth be told, if Donald Trump turned to Hillary Clinton and blasted her with the most vicious, horrific words imaginable,most
of America would cheer. It has really come to that.
As Zero Hedge correctly explains;

There is a large swath of the American electorate that is simply fed up with the establishment and are intent upon
sending an outsider to shake up Washington... the more crass the better."
Curse at the man if you want, but don't abandon the movement. Vote Trump on November 8th, and stop the Clintons once
and for all. Stay informed at Trump.news

The Global Financial System Is About To Shift: Part II

October 15 2016 | From: TheMindUnleashed
Part 2 is a continuation from Part 1, which is a Mind Unleashed exclusive interview with Neil
Keenan, the man who is working to open the Global Collateral Accounts.
These accounts are arguably the banking cabals deepest secret in regards to planetary wealth and relates to
historical events like the Bretton Woods Agreement and JFK trying to end the Federal Reserve.
Q: Youve stated in some of your updates that youre working with multiple intelligence agencies, presidents and
prime ministers. Can you go into more detail on that for us without divulging things that cant yet be said?
I will not reveal any name or agency. My team knows who they are and that is all that matters at this time.
Q: Some people say that Sukarnos son is M1 and that he is working to open the accounts. Is that true? How does
Edy Seno fit into this picture?
There are many people who make many claims about opening the accounts and they have done so for many years in
which they have not completed one legal deal.
They are told to return home when they fly to Hong Kong or England attempting to cash things in.
Their great successes happened with illegal transactions whereas the Governmental Corporations steadily utilized the
assets for their own personal needs.
The Elders have been rightful in illegally utilizing some of the global currencies or gold considering that they have not been
paid one cent to this very day for providing the assets with security and safety.
The Elders have placed their own lives on the line for many years with some of them having either been killed or
imprisoned and for what? Protecting the humanitarian assets!
The rightful depositors will not hesitate in granting some sort of stipend for doing a great job under extreme pressure once
they are opened. I will see to it.
One final note here. If there is a Sukarno in charge then one simple question answers all this: Who does the Sukarno Trust
belong to? It is not a Sukarno! It is Edy Seno.
Neil Keenan with Edy Seno in Indonesia
He is the heir to the Sukarno Trust due to his fathers and familys allegiances to President Sukarno during his reign and the
West is attempting to steal all his assets if possible.
Edy is real and secure in his ways and feels very humble and sorry that he has not been able to open the accounts for
humanity seeing the accounts, as stated, are owned by the depositors that being the Dragon Family.
On the other hand Edy has many real assets belonging to the trusts but the West has shut him down with hopes of utilizing
the assets themselves. Nothing has ever been returned to the East. Soon, when things open up the West will
receive humanitarian packages issued by a professional team of people but the East will get theirs as well.
No more thievery and or slavery.
We can stop the Globalist movement and we absolutely will once we get things going. UBS, Credit Suisse, HSBC (already
being cleaned up by the family and & Sister. Do not play with Sister she is one piece of big banking knowledge) and others
like the EU, the Federal Reserve and THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA corporation will be exposed soon should they
not adhere to the new found principles of fairness and honesty.
In November of 2011 I was issued a deed of Authorization and Agreement from Dr. Edy Seno Soekanto, who was sworn in
to be the legal heir of record as stated in the last will and testament of the late legal holder of the Family Inheritance
Guarantee, as attached to all the gold deposits.
This was ordered by President Sukarno between 1948 and 1968 when he was granted such Inheritance Guarantee as
payment for his services to the World.
Dr. Soekanto swears that President Sukarno [often also spelt 'Soekarno'] had designated to him the collection all
those funds known as the Family Inheritance Guarantee and the accumulated interest thereon, and that
he has been acknowledged by depository bank, as evidenced by the bank instruments, books, record and ledgers
and codes in his possession, as the sole recognized heir to.
Under this agreement, and because of his severe and long-term chronic illness, Dr. Soekanto granted me [Neil Keenan]
the authority to act as one of his Attorneys in Fact: "To act jointly and/or severally and to undertake all means and methods
to recover the funds owing to him and the People of Indonesia.
Presidents Soekarno and Kennedy
Dr. Soekanto has further agreed and confirmed that he also holds the full secret Book of Codes, The Maklumat
Book and Ledgers and all records of the accounts as delivered to him and that, upon their request, he will deliver
or cause delivery of the originals of such books for presentment any court determined to have such
jurisdiction and for any other purpose I may require or need for the Books.
I have custody of certified copies of the said Book of Codes, The Maklumat Book and Ledgers, and with his POA,
authorization to use them when needed. Copies were given to others for safekeeping under my direction.
Q: Some organizations have come out in what appears to be an attack on you and your mission Neil. OPPT is one
that comes to mind. What is OPPT and who were they working for?
I have no reason to speak of OPPT ever again. We spent time, effort and money exposing them and they disappeared.
They are literally nothing more than a Cabal shill effort no matter where they hide.
They, Swiss Indo, Red Dragons, Karen Hudes (Hades) and others have no say and are worthless. If you wish to see what
happened between any of the above and Neil Keenan and Group K please go to neilkeenan.com and look into the archives
and you will see how we dealt with such matters.
Q: How come more bankers or politicians do not speak of the global collateral accounts? What percentage of those
in the know actually know that these accounts exist?
Lets be very clear about this point. The higher levels know very well about this matter and they used to play with the
notes daily, gambling them away. Imagine gambling with someone elses money when it does not matter if you win or
lose. This is what they did at the higher levels. The ones that have spoken about it have been killed or suicided(thrown off
roofs most likely amongst other things)
Would you speak of it? This is why those in the know, no matter which side of the fence they reside on, are following
my moves as close as you could imagine.
Q: Once open, what will these accounts be used for? Will free energy projects be involved too? Which ones are in
mind? Are you working with people/organizations/government who can bring these technologies out to the
masses?
The GCA have been allocated (by The Dragon Family) to be used for humanitarian purposes. Virtually any positive
development that one can imagine that will benefit the people of this world and our environment will fall within the scope of
this mandate.
This will clearly require the removal of those comprising the entity known as the Cabal and their enslavement of humanity
both financially and otherwise, and the ending of their legacy of control, depopulation and environmental destruction.
By definition this includes the release of free energy technologies along with thousands of other beneficial technologies that
have been suppressed, some of which for well over a century.
I am in contact with researchers and developers who have very advanced technologies which are waiting to be released,
once it is safe and practicable to do so.
Q: How much gold and metals actually exist in these accounts? Will this help to transform our financial system?
The amount of mined and processed gold is vastly underreported. There exists almost 14 times more gold bullion than is
acknowledged in terms of the status quo line on the topic.
In short, what this means is that there are far more physical assets with tangible value than are required to back our global
currencies and to fund the remediation of every issue that we face in our world.
Q: After the accounts are open, what is expected to happen in the following 3 months initially? The following year
after they are opened?
I have no idea how long it is going to take to set things up. It will not be an easy job and it will involve the people of the
planet and fixing things that have been broken by the West in their attempts towards taking over the Planet with their
Globalist policies. I am sure not so long, although we will surely find out!
Q: What role is the BRICS playing in resetting the financial and political systems of the world?
BRICS is doing what I (Group K) proposed years ago by holding the Monaco Accords and as well pushing for an Eastern
Financial System (think BRICS Bank, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, etc.).
All the ideas were there and they utilized them to get to where they are but they can be financially stronger and will be in the
very near future.
Q: What role specifically is Vladimir Putin playing? Is he helping humanity?
Yes. If either Vladimir Putin / Russia and or China turned their heads for one week it would be the end of the West as we
know it. They are what keeps us alive and standing in terms of maintaining balance. One slip and the West (whose leaders
do not represent we the people) will come down to the point where we will have to release the Kraken.
Expos On Cabal-Driven Worldwide Terrorism Implemented By The United States And

It's Allies
October 15 2016 | From: Sott / GlobalResearch / Various
J. Michael Springmann worked for the State Department in the 1980s, in Saudi Arabia. What he
witnessed and experienced did not make much sense at the time, but what he later learned put it
all in context, and helped to explain the entire course of U.S. foreign policy for the next 30 years.
In short, just as the CIA provided funding and training for radical Mujahideen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan,
they have been doing the same thing ever since. Prior to 9/11, this legion of foreign fighters was used to destabilize
and destroy Yugoslavia. Afterward, Iraq, Libya, and today Syria.

For this entire period of time, al-Qaeda has been a fighting force for America, a fact that has been known for years, but
which is only now going mainstream due to American failures and Russian successes in Syria.
Today, we interview Mr. Springmann about his time at the consulate in Jeddah, and the events that led him to blow the
whistle and expose the reality of the U.S.'s creation and support of terrorism around the globe.
In the second hour of the show, we discussed the latest Trump and Clinton leaks, and how they reveal what everyone
should have already known: politicians are two-faced and corrupt, and fairly unsavory individuals. Brent closed the show
with another Police State Round-up on police un-accountability.

Since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of
existence. In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.
To put this in perspective:
Pick any year since 1776 and there is a bout a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that
calendar year.
No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered war
presidents.
The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.
The Americans Stand on Our Side and Give us Weapons - Jabhat al-Nusra (Al Qaeda) Commander
in Syria
US weapons are being delivered to Al-Nusra Front by governments that Washington supports, a militant
commander has told German media. RT discusses the interview with Jrgen Todenhfer, the journalist who spoke
to the Al-Nusra commander.

The CIA has been coordinating weapon deliveries on the Turkey-Syria border, German journalist Jurgen Todenhofer, who
recently spoke with a Jabhat al-Nusra commander, told RT. He added that the US knows that the weapons it delivers to
rebels end up with terrorists.
This is a game everybody knows. Its very clear that the Americans know that their weapons will in the
end be in the hands of terrorists, Todenhofer said speaking to RT.
The only time in the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.
In most of these wars, the U.S. was on the offense. Admit- tedly some of the wars were defensive. However, the above list
leaves out covert CIA operations and other acts which could be considered war.
Lets update whats happened since 2011:
2012 War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen
2013 War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen
2014 War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine 2015 War on Terror in
Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine

So we can add four more years of war. That means that for 222 out of 239 years or 93% of the time America has been
at war. (We can quibble with the exact numbers, but the high percentage of time that America has been at war is clear and
unmistakable.)
Indeed, most of the military operations launched since World War II have been launched by the U.S. And Ameri- can military
spending dwarfs the rest of the world put together.
No wonder polls show that the world believes America is the number 1 threat to peace. Sott Comment: Rather staggering,
dont you think? Also, for many of the war years, the US had multiple opponents. After all this war practice, we might rightly
expect a simple bombing raid on ISIS to produce results.

Americas history reflects violence. Its blood-drenched. It glorifies war. It does so in the name of
peace. However, this agenda is not driven by the American people so much as it is driven from up
on high by the Cabal leadership who manipulate the sleeping masses to buy into actions that only
appear to be "American".
The US / NATO is the tool and the scapegoat of the 'global elite's' New World Order.
America believes war is peace. Its part of the national culture. Eventually its self-destructive. Todays super-weapons make
the unthinkable possible.
Hyman Rickover knew. He knew decades ago. He founded Americas nuclear navy. In 1982, he told Congress:
I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation. Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear
powered ships?
That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of the part I played in it. I did it because it was
necessary for the safety of this country.
Thats why I am such a great exponent of stopping this whole nonsense of war. Unfortunately limits attempts to
limit war have always failed.
The lesson of history is when a war starts every nation will ultimately use whatever weapon it has available.
Every time you produce radiation, you produce something that has a certain half-life, in some cases for billions of
years.
I think the human race is going to wreck itself, and it is important that we get control of this horrible force and try to
eliminate it.

Einstein feared it. He didnt know what WW III weapons would be used. He said World War IV will be fought with sticks and
stones.
Bertrand Russell was an Einstein contemporary. He knew. He warned. No one listened. He asked:
Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war. Its the only way to live in peace. The
alternative is annihilation."
The choice is clear. The wrong one assures disaster. Americas heading humanity toward it. A slow-motion train wreck
looms. The big one. Theres no second chance. Theres no coming back.
Historian Harry Elmer Barnes (1889 1968) once said:

If trends continue as they have during the last fifteen years, we shall soon reach this point of no return, and can
only anticipate interminable wars, disguised as noble gestures for peace.
Historian Arnold Toynbee worried about WW III. Only pigmies in remote jungles, apes and ants might be left to carry on the

It did so with enough overwhelming power to fight and win global wars against any adversary. Nuclear and other mass
destruction weapons would be used preemptively.
In 1961, General Curtis LeMay believed nuclear war with Soviet Russia was inevitable. He wanted thousands of missiles
launched preemptively. He called retaliation against major US cities a small price to pay.
At the same time, General Lyman Lemnitzer urged a surprise nuclear attack strategy. Jack Kennedy expressed disgust. He
walked out of a National Security Council meeting. He wanted none of it.
He told Secretary of State Dean Rusk: And we call ourselves the human race.
Secretary of Defense McNamara categorically rejected LeMay and Lemnitzer. He should have fired them on the spot. Other
extremists then and later urged the same lunacy.
Crazies have great influence today. Todays weapons make earlier ones look like toys. Armageddon could happen. Rogue
states cant be trusted. America most of all.
Eisenhower warned;
Against the acquisition of unwarranted influence. He named the military-industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist, he stressed.
Militarism writ large is the national pastime. Its a national addiction. The business of America is war. Its multiple wars. Its
permanent ones. Its ravaging one nation after another.
Its doing so for wealth, power, resource control, and unchallenged global dominance.

His expansion of covert drone strikes goes far beyond that of former President George W. Bush, and has blurred the line

the U.S. is not officially at war with - has people questioning not only the Obama administration's tactics, but also the

America never was the land of the free and home of the brave. Its a war on humanity society. Its a let em eat
cake one.
Its an out-of-control rogue state. Its ideologically over-the-top. It spends more on militarism and wars than the rest of the
world combined.
Doing so lets war profiteers gorge themselves at the public trough. Doing so makes peace impossible. Warrior
nations eventually self-destruct. Nations that live by the sword die by it. Americas no exception.
According too Navy Live, Air-Sea Battle (ABS):
Is designed to develop force over the long-term. (It) seeks to provide decision makers with a wide range of options
to counter aggression from hostile actors.
It targets China and Russia. It reflects the US commitment to maintaining escalation advantage during conflict and
sustaining security and prosperity in the global commons.
Its interoperable air and naval forces that can execute networked, integrated attacks-in-depth to disrupt, destroy,
and defeat enemy anti-access area denial capabilities.
Paul Craig Roberts quoted Amitai Etzioni. He asked:
Who Authorized Preparations for War with China?
The Pentagon has concluded that the time has come to prepare for with China, and in a manner well beyond
crafting the sort of contingency plans that are expected for with a wide range of possible confrontations, he said.
"Its a momentous decision. It hasnt received proper attention. Americas posture is largely Pentagon driven.
It stands out even more prominently because (a) the change in military posture may well lead to an arms race with
China, which could culminate in a nuclear war; and (b) the economic condition of the United States requires a
reduction in military spending, not a new arms race.
The start of a new term, and with it the appointment of new secretaries of State and Defense, provides an
opportunity to review the United States China strategy and the militarys role in it.
This review is particularly important before the new preparations for war move from an operational concept to a
militarization program that includes ordering high-cost weapons systems and forced restructuring.
History shows that once these thresholds are crossed, it is exceedingly difficult to change course.
In September 2001, Congress approved the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). It did so for the use of United
States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.
Carte blanche war-making authority was granted. Americas war on terror began. Its waged on humanity. It does so out of
control. It targets manufactured enemies at home and abroad.
It calls independent nations existential threats. Russia and China are targeted. They represent Americas [The
Cabal New World Order's] final battleground.
Challenging them risks WW III. Obamas no peacemaker. Hes a cold-blooded warrior. They threatens humanitys survival.
His 2010 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) reflects Bush era strategy.

Its old wine in new bottles. It reserves the right to use nuclear weapons preemptively. Americas only enemies
are ones it invents. Peace is verboten. So is disarmament. Theyre both non-starters.
Washington targets more nations to destroy. It invents reasons for doing so. It threatens humanity in the process.
Preemptive nuclear war assures it. Americas lunatic fringe may launch what cooler heads deplore. Elements in it have
mushroom shaped cloud delusions.
Nuclear war assures turning planet earth into an uninhabited wasteland. Toxic proliferation already is destroying life slowly.

The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families + 7 Not-So-Secret Homes Of Super
Secret Societies

The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo)
own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Chevron Texaco); in
tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their
monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch.
According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders
of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation.

So who then are the stockholders in these money center banks?
This information is guarded much more closely. My queries to bank regulatory agencies regarding stock ownership in the
top 25 US bank holding companies were given Freedom of Information Act status, before being denied on national
security grounds. This is rather ironic, since many of the banks stockholders reside in Europe.
One important repository for the wealth of the global oligarchy that owns these bank holding companies is US Trust
Corporation founded in 1853 and now owned by Bank of America.
A recent US Trust Corporate Director and Honorary Trustee was Walter Rothschild. Other directors included Daniel Davison
of JP Morgan Chase, Richard Tucker of Exxon Mobil, Daniel Roberts of Citigroup and Marshall Schwartz of Morgan Stanley.
J. W. McCallister, an oil industry insider with House of Saud connections, wrote in The Grim Reaper that information he
acquired from Saudi bankers cited 80% ownership of the New York Federal Reserve Bank- by far the most powerful Fed
branch - by just eight families, four of which reside in the US.
Jacob Rothschild and David Rockefeller kicking it
They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London;
the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.
CPA Thomas D. Schauf corroborates McCallisters claims, adding that ten banks control all twelve Federal Reserve Bank
branches.
He names N.M. Rothschild of London, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Warburg Bank of Amsterdam,
Lehman Brothers of New York, Lazard Brothers of Paris, Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York, Israel Moses Seif Bank of Italy,
Goldman Sachs of New York and JP Morgan Chase Bank of New York.
Schauf lists William Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Jacob Schiff and James Stillman as individuals who own large shares of the
Fed. The Schiffs are insiders at Kuhn Loeb. The Stillmans are Citigroup insiders, who married into the Rockefeller clan at
the turn of the century.
The Federal Reserve Board 1913
Eustace Mullins came to the same conclusions in his book The Secrets of the Federal Reserve, in which he displays charts
connecting the Fed and its member banks to the families of Rothschild, Warburg, Rockefeller and the others.
The control that these banking families exert over the global economy cannot be overstated and is quite intentionally
shrouded in secrecy. Their corporate media arm is quick to discredit any information exposing this private central banking
cartel as conspiracy theory. Yet the facts remain.
The House of Morgan
The Federal Reserve Bank was born in 1913, the same year US banking scion J. Pierpont Morgan died and the Rockefeller
Foundation was formed. The House of Morgan presided over American finance from the corner of Wall Street and Broad,
acting as quasi-US central bank since 1838, when George Peabody founded it in London.
J.P. Morgan
Peabody was a business associate of the Rothschilds. In 1952 Fed researcher Eustace Mullins put forth the supposition that
the Morgans were nothing more than Rothschild agents. Mullins wrote that the Rothschilds;
preferred to operate anonymously in the US behind the facade of J.P. Morgan & Company.
Author Gabriel Kolko stated; Morgans activities in 1895-1896 in selling US gold bonds in Europe were based on
an alliance with the House of Rothschild.
The Morgan financial octopus wrapped its tentacles quickly around the globe. Morgan Grenfell operated in London. Morgan
et Ce ruled Paris. The Rothschilds Lambert cousins set up Drexel & Company in Philadelphia.
The House of Morgan catered to the Astors, DuPonts, Guggenheims, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. It financed the launch of
AT&T, General Motors, General Electric and DuPont. Like the London-based Rothschild and Barings banks, Morgan
became part of the power structure in many countries.
By 1890 the House of Morgan was lending to Egypts central bank, financing Russian railroads, floating Brazilian provincial
government bonds and funding Argentine public works projects. A recession in 1893 enhanced Morgans power. That year
Morgan saved the US government from a bank panic, forming a syndicate to prop up government reserves with a shipment
of $62 million worth of Rothschild gold.
It's a little known fact the the Monopoly man was based on J.P. Morgan
Morgan was the driving force behind Western expansion in the US, financing and controlling West-bound railroads through
voting trusts. In 1879 Cornelius Vanderbilts Morgan-financed New York Central Railroad gave preferential shipping rates to
John D. Rockefellers budding Standard Oil monopoly, cementing the Rockefeller/Morgan relationship.
The House of Morgan now fell under Rothschild and Rockefeller family control. A New York Herald headline read, Railroad
Kings Form Gigantic Trust. J. Pierpont Morgan, who once stated;
Competition is a sin, now opined gleefully, Think of it. All competing railroad traffic west of St. Louis placed in the
control of about thirty men."
Morgan and Edward Harrimans banker Kuhn Loeb held a monopoly over the railroads, while banking dynasties Lehman,
Goldman Sachs and Lazard joined the Rockefellers in controlling the US industrial base.
In 1903 Bankers Trust was set up by the Eight Families. Benjamin Strong of Bankers Trust was the first Governor of the
New York Federal Reserve Bank.
The 1913 creation of the Fed fused the power of the Eight Families to the military and diplomatic might of the US
government. If their overseas loans went unpaid, the oligarchs could now deploy US Marines to collect the debts. Morgan,
Chase and Citibank formed an international lending syndicate.
The House of Morgan was cozy with the British House of Windsor and the Italian House of Savoy. The Kuhn Loebs,
Warburgs, Lehmans, Lazards, Israel Moses Seifs and Goldman Sachs also had close ties to European royalty. By 1895
Morgan controlled the flow of gold in and out of the US.
The first American wave of mergers was in its infancy and was being promoted by the bankers. In 1897 there were sixty-
nine industrial mergers. By 1899 there were twelve-hundred. In 1904 John Moody founder of Moodys Investor Services
said it was impossible to talk of Rockefeller and Morgan interests as separate.
Public distrust of the combine spread. Many considered them traitors working for European old money. Rockefellers
Standard Oil, Andrew Carnegies US Steel and Edward Harrimans railroads were all financed by banker Jacob Schiff at
Kuhn Loeb, who worked closely with the European Rothschilds.
Several Western states banned the bankers. Populist preacher William Jennings Bryan was thrice the Democratic nominee
for President from 1896 -1908. The central theme of his anti-imperialist campaign was that America was falling into a trap
of financial servitude to British capital.
Teddy Roosevelt defeated Bryan in 1908, but was forced by this spreading populist wildfire to enact the Sherman Anti-Trust
Act. He then went after the Standard Oil Trust.
In 1912 the Pujo hearings were held, addressing concentration of power on Wall Street. That same year Mrs. Edward
Harriman sold her substantial shares in New Yorks Guaranty Trust Bank to J.P. Morgan, creating Morgan Guaranty Trust.
Judge Louis Brandeis convinced President Woodrow Wilson to call for an end to interlocking board directorates. In 1914 the
Clayton Anti-Trust Act was passed.
Jack Morgan J. Pierponts son and successor responded by calling on Morgan clients Remington and Winchester to
increase arms production. He argued that the US needed to enter WWI. Goaded by the Carnegie Foundation and other
oligarchy fronts, Wilson accommodated.
As Charles Tansill wrote in America Goes to War;
Even before the clash of arms, the French firm of Rothschild Freres cabled to Morgan & Company in New York
suggesting the flotation of a loan of $100 million, a substantial part of which was to be left in the US to pay for
French purchases of American goods.
The House of Morgan financed half the US war effort, while receiving commissions for lining up contractors like GE, Du
Pont, US Steel, Kennecott and ASARCO. All were Morgan clients.
Morgan also financed the British Boer War in South Africa and the Franco-Prussian War. The 1919 Paris Peace Conference
was presided over by Morgan, which led both German and Allied reconstruction efforts.
In the 1930s populism resurfaced in America after Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bank and others profited from the Crash of
1929. House Banking Committee Chairman Louis McFadden (D-NY) said of the Great Depression;,
It was no accident. It was a carefully contrived occurrenceThe international bankers sought to bring about a
condition of despair here so they might emerge as rulers of us all.
Sen. Gerald Nye (D-ND) chaired a munitions investigation in 1936. Nye concluded that the House of Morgan had plunged
the US into WWI to protect loans and create a booming arms industry. Nye later produced a document titled The Next War,
which cynically referred to the old goddess of democracy trick, through which Japan could be used to lure the US into
WWII.
In 1937 Interior Secretary Harold Ickes warned of the influence of Americas 60 Families. Historian Ferdinand Lundberg
later penned a book of the exact same title. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas decried;
Morgan influencethe most pernicious one in industry and finance today.

Jack Morgan responded by nudging the US towards WWII. Morgan had close relations with the Iwasaki and Dan families
Japans two wealthiest clans who have owned Mitsubishi and Mitsui, respectively, since the companies emerged from
17th Century shogunates.
When Japan invaded Manchuria, slaughtering Chinese peasants at Nanking, Morgan downplayed the incident. Morgan also
had close relations with Italian fascist Benito Mussolini, while German Nazi Dr. Hjalmer Schacht was a Morgan Bank liaison
during WWII. After the war Morgan representatives met with Schacht at the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) in Basel,
Switzerland.
The House of Rockefeller
BIS is the most powerful bank in the world, a global central bank for the Eight Families who control the private central banks
of almost all Western and developing nations. The first President of BIS was Rockefeller banker Gates McGarrah - an
official at Chase Manhattan and the Federal Reserve.
McGarrah was the grandfather of former CIA director Richard Helms. The Rockefellers - like the Morgans - had close ties to
London. David Icke writes in Children of the Matrix, that the Rockefellers and Morgans were just gofers for the European
Rothschilds.
John D. Rockefeller
BIS is owned by the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Italy, Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank,
Nederlandsche Bank, Bundesbank and Bank of France.
Historian Carroll Quigley wrote in his epic book Tragedy and Hope that BIS was part of a plan;
to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country
and the economy of the world as a wholeto be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world
acting in concert by secret agreements.
The US government had a historical distrust of BIS, lobbying unsuccessfully for its demise at the 1944 post-WWII Bretton
Woods Conference. Instead the Eight Families power was exacerbated, with the Bretton Woods creation of the IMF and the
World Bank. The US Federal Reserve only took shares in BIS in September 1994.
BIS holds at least 10% of monetary reserves for at least 80 of the worlds central banks, the IMF and other multilateral
institutions. It serves as financial agent for international agreements, collects information on the global economy and serves
as lender of last resort to prevent global financial collapse.
BIS promotes an agenda of monopoly capitalist fascism. It gave a bridge loan to Hungary in the 1990s to ensure
privatization of that countrys economy. It served as conduit for Eight Families funding of Adolf Hitler- led by the Warburgs J.
Henry Schroeder and Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam. Many researchers assert that BIS is at the nadir of global drug
money laundering.
The Bank for International Settlements is the Mac Daddy at the top of the Worldwide Reserve Banking System, not just the US Federal Reserve
It is no coincidence that BIS is headquartered in Switzerland, favorite hiding place for the wealth of the global aristocracy
and headquarters for the P-2 Italian Freemasons Alpina Lodge and Nazi International. Other institutions which the Eight
Families control include the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Conference and the World Trade
Organization.
Bretton Woods was a boon to the Eight Families. The IMF and World Bank were central to this new world order. In 1944
the first World Bank bonds were floated by Morgan Stanley and First Boston.
The French Lazard family became more involved in House of Morgan interests. Lazard Freres - Frances biggest investment
bank- is owned by the Lazard and David-Weill families - old Genoese banking scions represented by Michelle Davive. A
recent Chairman and CEO of Citigroup was Sanford Weill.
In 1968 Morgan Guaranty launched Euro-Clear, a Brussels-based bank clearing system for Eurodollar securities. It was the
first such automated endeavor. Some took to calling Euro-Clear The Beast. Brussels serves as headquarters for the new
European Central Bank and for NATO.
In 1973 Morgan officials met secretly in Bermuda to illegally resurrect the old House of Morgan, twenty years before Glass
Steagal Act was repealed. Morgan and the Rockefellers provided the financial backing for Merrill Lynch, boosting it into the
Big 5 of US investment banking. Merrill is now part of Bank of America.
John D. Rockefeller used his oil wealth to acquire Equitable Trust, which had gobbled up several large banks and
corporations by the 1920s.
The Great Depression helped consolidate Rockefellers power. His Chase Bank merged with Kuhn Loebs Manhattan Bank
to form Chase Manhattan, cementing a long-time family relationship.
The Kuhn-Loebs had financed along with Rothschilds Rockefellers quest to become king of the oil patch. National City
Bank of Cleveland provided John D. with the money needed to embark upon his monopolization of the US oil industry.
The bank was identified in Congressional hearings as being one of three Rothschild-owned banks in the US during the
1870s, when Rockefeller first incorporated as Standard Oil of Ohio.
One Rockefeller Standard Oil partner was Edward Harkness, whose family came to control Chemical Bank. Another was
James Stillman, whose family controlled Manufacturers Hanover Trust.
Both banks have merged under the JP Morgan Chase umbrella. Two of James Stillmans daughters married two of William
Rockefellers sons. The two families control a big chunk of Citigroup as well.
In the insurance business, the Rockefellers control Metropolitan Life, Equitable Life, Prudential and New York Life.
Rockefeller banks control 25% of all assets of the 50 largest US commercial banks and 30% of all assets of the 50 largest
insurance companies.
Insurance companies - the first in the US was launched by Freemasons through their Woodmans of America - play a key
role in the Bermuda drug money shuffle.
Companies under Rockefeller control include Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco, Marathon Oil, Freeport McMoran,
Quaker Oats, ASARCO, United, Delta, Northwest, ITT, International Harvester, Xerox, Boeing, Westinghouse, Hewlett-
Packard, Honeywell, International Paper, Pfizer, Motorola, Monsanto, Union Carbide and General Foods.
The Rockefeller Foundation has close financial ties to both Ford and Carnegie Foundations. Other family philanthropic
endeavors include Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, General Education Board,
Rockefeller University and the University of Chicago - which churns out a steady stream of far right economists as
apologists for international capital, including Milton Friedman.
The family owns 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where the national Christmas tree is lighted every year, and Rockefeller Center.
David Rockefeller was instrumental in the construction of the World Trade Center towers. The main Rockefeller family home
is a hulking complex in upstate New York known as Pocantico Hills.
They also own a 32-room 5th Avenue duplex in Manhattan, a mansion in Washington, DC, Monte Sacro Ranch in
Venezuela, coffee plantations in Ecuador, several farms in Brazil, an estate at Seal Harbor, Maine and resorts in the
Caribbean, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Allen Dulles
The Dulles and Rockefeller families are cousins. Allen Dulles created the CIA, assisted the Nazis, covered up the Kennedy
hit from his Warren Commission perch and struck a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood to create mind-controlled assassins.
Brother John Foster Dulles presided over the phony Goldman Sachs trusts before the 1929 stock market crash and helped
his brother overthrow governments in Iran and Guatemala.
Both were Skull & Bones, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) insiders and 33rd Degree Masons.
The Rockefellers were instrumental in forming the depopulation-oriented Club of Rome at their family estate in Bellagio,
Italy.
Their Pocantico Hills estate gave birth to the Trilateral Commission. The family is a major funder of the eugenics movement
which spawned Hitler, human cloning and the current DNA obsession in US scientific circles.
John Rockefeller Jr. headed the Population Council until his death. His namesake son is a Senator from West Virginia.
Brother Winthrop Rockefeller was Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas and remains the most powerful man in that state.
In an October 1975 interview with Playboy magazine, Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller- who was also Governor of New
York- articulated his familys patronizing worldview;
I am a great believer in planning- economic, social, political, military, total world planning.
But of all the Rockefeller brothers, it is Trilateral Commission (TC) founder and Chase Manhattan Chairman David who has
spearheaded the familys fascist agenda on a global scale. He defended the Shah of Iran, the South African apartheid
regime and the Chilean Pinochet junta.
He was the biggest financier of the CFR, the TC and (during the Vietnam War) the Committee for an Effective and Durable
Peace in Asia- a contract bonanza for those who made their living off the conflict.
Nixon asked him to be Secretary of Treasury, but Rockefeller declined the job, knowing his power was much greater at the
helm of the Chase. Author Gary Allen writes in The Rockefeller File that in 1973;
David Rockefeller met with twenty-seven heads of state, including the rulers of Russia and Red China.
Following the 1975 Nugan Hand Bank/CIA coup against Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, his British Crown-
appointed successor Malcolm Fraser sped to the US, where he met with President Gerald Ford after conferring with David
Rockefeller.
7 Not-So-Secret Homes Of Secret Societies

In clandestine corners of the world, the elite come together in secrecy. Some of them dont mind
that we know of these society meetings, while others maintain that they do not organize at all.
Illustration by Miss Alice Heighes Donlevy of the "Secret Society Buildings of New Haven," with the former Skull & Bones headquarters at left center
(circa 1869-1903)
Yet doormen speak to their friends, initiation rites are leaked, people peek in windows, chanting in far underground
lairs can be heard by a passerby. Conspiracy theorists have long held that someone, and not the Fates, is
manipulating our world, and perhaps in these secret societies the strings are being pulled.
Here is a list of seven groups so secret some members will never admit to their involvement, and their meeting places hiding
in plain sight.
Skull and Bones Tomb
New Haven, Connecticut

The Tomb
Ivy league Yale University is considered to be one of the most selective higher educational institutions in the United States,
if not the world. Its motto lux et veritas translates to "light and truth." On the historic campus in New Haven, Connecticut,
there is a building where "light and truth" are reserved for carefully selected members and alumni.
What is known about the Skull and Bones secret society is minimal. The organization started in 1832. An official roster of its
members was published up until 1971. Bonesmen, as members are called, have been heads of corporations, senior
government officials, Supreme Court justices, and even presidents.
Theories about what the Skull and Bones actually do range from its members controlling the Central Intelligence Agency,
being a part of a global network aimed at world domination, to being a branch of the Illuminati.
Related: The Order / Skull and Bones / Chapter 322
Its also unknown exactly what happens in The Tomb, the group's headquarters, but there are strange rumors of what is
contained in the windowless sandstone building. The Egypto-Doric style of the structure makes it appear as an immense
sepulcher.
The tomb is thought to hold secret documents containing the roster of all members, ritual details, as well as
multiple stolen relics. Some of the bones rumored to be in The Tomb include the skulls of Geronimo, Pancho Villa, Martin
Van Buren, and the gravestone of Elihu Yale, the school's founder. Bonesmen are also known to take other societies'
belongings in a show of thievery and cunning known as crooking.
Bilderberg Club: Hotel de Bilderberg
Oosterbeek, Netherlands (note that this is not the office of the organisation, but the place of it's inaugural meeting).
Hotel de Bilderberg
In November of 1954, 50 delegates from 11 countries in Western Europe and 11 Americans spent three days in Oosterbeek,
Netherlands, at the Hotel de Bilderberg.
The purpose of the meeting was said to foster conversations between Europe and North America. Those in attendance
included a prince, a prime minster, and the head of the CIA. Since that meeting, each year a group of international leaders
in the fields of politics, business, media, and communications have met to discuss were not exactly sure.
There is no agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no voting of any kind is executed, and no positions or policy statements
are issued.
Related: The True Story Of The Bilderberg Group
The meetings are held in a different location each year and each year the topics of the meeting are up for the general public
to theorize over.
The roster of attendees is never officially made public, but there have been leaks over the years. Conspiracy theories
abound, especially because of the groups intense level of secrecy. Many believe the group is conspiring to impose capital
domination, a world government, or a planned economy. What is certain is that the more prominent you are, the more likely
youll be to get an invitation to next years Bilderberg conference.
Scientology's Trementina Base

Trementina, New Mexico
Trementina Base, New Mexico
Scientology is most visible today because of celebrity members like Tom Cruise and John Travolta, yet the organization has
been aggressive over the years in tackling critics and maintaining its secrets. One of the most controversial religious groups,
some characterize the movement as a cult.
Basic Scientology belief holds that humans are immortal beings who have reincarnated and have lived on other planets
before finding themselves now on Earth. One of the things that makes the religion controversial is its assertive nature, often
turning to character assassination or litigation in dealing with skeptics and critics who question their practices. The church is
also extremely secretive, holding many of its teachings from members until they have made it through multiple levels.
Scientology operates several churches called Celebrity Centres that are opened to the public, but are primarily meant for
"anyone with the power and vision to create a better world. The Church of the Spiritual Technology, or CST, is reserved for
the most trusted of members.
Related: Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief
Many of these members manage elaborate bases including the Trementina Base. The official word from the church is that
the base is a location used to preserve Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbards writings, which are said to be engraved on
steel sheets and encased in titanium cases. Its thought that Trementina is more than just a location to archive Hubbards
works, however.
Trementina contains underground dwellings and tunnels, but whats most interesting about the base is what you see from
the outside. Aerial photographs above the base show huge images dug into the Earth.
The images are that of the churchs logo. Former members have claimed that the symbols are to mark the return point for
members when they travel into the future. Other members have stated that this is the place where Hubbard is supposed to
go when he returns.
The Illuminati: Domus Sanctae Marthae
Vatican City, Vatican

Related: The Jesuits & The Vatican
Pope Francis entering Domus Sanctae Marthae

Established in 1776 in Bavaria, Germany, this group of freethinkers, humanists, and academics opposed superstition,
prejudice, religion, and its influence over the public, and they supported the advancement of women.
The Illuminati were a shadowy group, believed capable of influencing movements in government and the arts. The group
was infiltrated and shut down a decade after its founding, or so the official record goes. Conspiracy theorists have long been
obsessed that the world has been controlled by the Illuminati for generations.
There are many modern groups that claim to be the descendants of the original Bavarian Illuminati; they go so far as to use
the name Illuminati in their title, but there is no evidence that these recent organizations are tied to the original.
Related: The Order Of The Illuminati: Its Origins, Its Methods And Its Influence On World Events
Besides its actions, what is a major mystery of this group is the location of its headquarters. Theorists have claimed many
prominent locations are the headquarters of the Illuminati from Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the Mormon Temple in Salt
Lake City, Utah, the Statue of Liberty in New York City, Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C., and, among many others, the Vatican.
The theory that the Illuminati headquarters is located at the Vatican is especially interesting due to the group's opposition to
the church. It's believed by conspiracy theorists that the church was long ago infiltrated by the society and so that would
make its leader, the pope, one of the Illuminati's highest ranking members.
Today, the pope resides in a simple room at Domus Sanctae Marthae, a guest house adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica. The
five-story building containing 106 suites and 22 single rooms is for clergy who are in town on official Holy See business, or
perhaps for an Illuminati meeting or two.
Ordo Templi Orientis: Bay Area Thelemic Temple

Oakland, California
Mural of Aleister Crowley at the Abode of Chaos
The Order of the Temple of the East was founded between 1895 and 1906 in either Austria or Germany. It is believed
wealthy industrialist, Carl Kellner, began the religious movement, but it was famed occultist Aleister Crowley whose name
and additions to the group shrouded it in curiosity and mystery.
OTO was modeled somewhat after another secret society, Freemasonry. But Crowley added a layer, his own self-created
belief system called Thelema. Thelemas practices and beliefs are written out in a book titled The Book of Law and its core
belief is: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Ideas from occultism, and Eastern and Western mysticism, found their way into Thelema and thus OTO. The religion is
highly secretive and members move through the order in a series of rites and rituals, moving up levels in the forms of
initiations. Levels have curious names such as Minerval, Master Magician, Illustrious Knight, Grandmaster of Light, and so
on.
There are two components at the core of OTO: magical rituals, which have been rumored to include tantric sex, the
summoning of angels and demons, and astral projection.
Then there is the gnostic mass, reminiscent of a Catholic mass only because it contains a host and wine toward the end.
The gnostic mass includes elaborate costumes, and at the climax of the mass it's believed that the host turns into the Body
of God and the wine the Blood of God.
There are multiple locations of worship called camps, oases, or lodges. The majority of them keep their locations secretive
to the greater public. The relatively small location in Oakland is an oasis. They hold a weekly gnostic mass in a temple
decorated in candles and Egyptian imagery.
Its unknown exactly what takes place during initiation ceremonies and what knowledge is shared during these events.
According to Crowley's autobiography, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley: "the OTO is in possession of one supreme
secret. The whole of its system [is] directed towards communicating to its members, by progressively plain hints, this all-
important instruction.
Priory of Sion: Bibliothque Nationale de France

Paris, France
National Library of France Reading Room
The secret of this secret society is that many people believe in its existence, but scholarly claims have repetitively stated the
group is a complete myth, constructed by the imagination of a madman.
The myth begins that the Priory of Sion was a group charged with protecting the descendants of Jesus of Nazareth and
Mary Magdalene who eventually went on to settle in France.
It was leaked in the 1970s that the Bibliothque Nationale de France in Paris, the French National Library, was in
possession of a file called Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau that pointed to the Priory of Sion being located in France.
The file contained an introduction, maps of France, genealogies, newspaper clippings, letters and a list of grand masters of
the Priory of Sion that included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo Da Vinci.
The authenticity of these files has been questioned ever since they were left at the library. Eventually, they were traced to
Pierre Plantard. It is believed Plantard planted the document at the library in order to perpetuate an elaborate hoax. He
himself claimed to be a descendant of Jesus' bloodline.
Academics went on to agree that the Priory of Sion was a hoax constructed by Plantard. Yet, books, articles, and movies
continue to be made about this group. Whether or not there is a secret society dedicated to protecting a family descendant
from biblical times we may never know.
Rosicrucianism: Rosicrucian Park

San Jose, California
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum grounds
Several manifestos were anonymously published in the early 17th century that told of legends, mysticism, alchemy, and the
Order of the Temple of the Rosy Cross. One of these documents was the Fama Fraternitatis which was published in Cassel,
Germany.
The Fama spoke of the 15th century German doctor and mystical philosopher Christian Rosenkreuz who traveled through
parts of the Middle East where he learned esoteric wisdom, studying in places such as Turkey and Egypt.
There, he claimed to learn extensive knowledge regarding nature and the universe. When he returned, he attempted to
share what he learned but he was dismissed. He then formed a like-minded group called the Fraternity of the Rose Cross.
Related: The Rosicrucians
The year of his birth and death remain shadowy, but some documents claim he lived over 106 years. The group upheld
Christian beliefs, but strongly opposed Roman Catholicism, and was also said to have influenced Freemasonry along with
hundreds of other groups, many of which have adopted titles with similar names throughout modern times.
At its simplest form, the group aimed to promote a Universal Reformation of Mankind. Some reports claim that the
requirement for membership was that one must have been capable of using more than the average amount of brain power.
During Rosenkreuzs life, the group was thought to have only consisted of a handful of members, each of whom was a
doctor.
All members took an oath to remain bachelors, and also to treat the sick without payment and to find a replacement for
themselves before they died. Interest in the group peaked between 1607 and 1616 with the appearances of the anonymous
works that included the Fama Fraternitatis which ranged with content that included mysticism and apocalyptic warnings.
The Rosicricians were into their alchemy
Whether Rosenkreuzs original idea continued is unknown. One of the hundreds of groups claiming to be tied to the original
is the Ancient Mystical Order Rosea Crucis that has some connection to occultist Aleister Crowley. AMORC claims to be
devoted to the study of elusive mysteries of life and the universe.
They utilize ideas from major philosophers, including Thales and Pythagoras, healing techniques, alchemy, symbolism, and
mysticism. The group claims its history can be traced to pharaoh Thutmose III in 1477.
The AMORC headquarters is located at Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, California, which spans a city block and includes
several structures. The park is home to elaborate gardens, a research library, a planetarium, a temple, and it houses the
ashes of Harvey Spencer Lewis, founder of the secret society.
The Global Financial System Is About To Shift: Part I
October 13 2016 | From: TheMindUnleashed
Behind all the chatter of who will be the United States next President, there is something much
larger playing out. Something bigger than most people could even believe.
Though what you are about to read is indeed real and will soon be undeniable.
With almost all of the real money, that being gold, silver, metals, jewels and all the legitimate notes, bond and certificates,
the nations of the Eastern hemisphere are poised to shift the entire global financial system back to the rightful owners of this
massively large cache of assets.
What is known as the global collateral accounts, is something John F. Kennedy was working on opening up for humanity.
These accounts are what the Bretton Woods agreement was based upon (though fraudulently). These accounts are what
almost every nation and what all of the big banks have been unlawfully abusing.
Now though, an international alliance is working together to open these accounts for the benefit of humanity, which is being
spearheaded by a man known as Neil Keenan. Here are answers from Neil Keenan directly to questions we have asked
him.
Neil Keenan, John F Kennedy and President Soekarno

Timeline
This has been done as to educate a larger audience on what the global collateral accounts are as well as to prepare that
same audience for the large events that will be occurring in the very near future.
Q: For those that dont know what the global collateral accounts are, can you give us an explanation of what
they are and what purpose they are used for?
The term Global Collateral Accounts refers to the vast holdings of a Chinese consortium of depositors known as The Dragon
Family and their legacy is centuries old. These physical assets are for the most part located in Asia in secure underground
facilities comprising a total value in the order of 94 Quadrillion US Dollars.
Primarily the asset holdings are comprised of gold bullion, along with other precious metals and gemstones plus a great deal
of paper currency, notes and bonds.
The Silk Road or Silk Route was an ancient network of trade routes that for centuries were central to cultural interaction through regions of the
Asian continent connecting the East and West from China to the Mediterranean Sea
The accumulation of these assets began centuries ago, largely by way of the Silk Road trade routes which saw great wealth
accumulated by those in the equatorial region where there was an abundance of resources and produce, that were
purchased by people in other parts of the world in gold.
These were the days when payments were made in tangible assets with real value not FIAT currencies represented by
worthless paper. There have been many attempts to steal from the asset pool of the Global Collateral Accounts over the
centuries, and in part, the reason why these assets have come to be stored in bunkers in South East Asia, was for safe
keeping.
Count Albert of the Dragon Family with Neil Keenan
The assets are watched over and protected by local family groups who are known as The Elders.Unfortunately some of
these people, after a few generations in their role as guardians have come to confuse the terms guardian with the
depositor.
Q: Who is / are the Dragon Family? What is their role with the global collateral accounts?
The Dragon Family is, in fact, a organization that operates between old families within China and Taiwan, above the political
divide of the two independent Chinese Governments.
The Chinese are remarkable in this regard in that old family ties and functions supersede political arrangements which,
though they might last for generations, are regarded as inconsequential over the passage of time to most Chinese.
Attached to this is the wealth of several nations. The Dragon Family abstains from any public view and knowledge but acts
for the good and better benefit of the World and have had to deal with higher levels of the global financial
Organizations, Committee of 300 and in particular, the Federal Reserve System.
The Mount Washington Hotel, situated in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States
The Golden Dragons (Dragon Family) signed an agreement with the BIS / Bretton Woods / China in 1944 in which their
assets would be implemented as collateral in order to be used by the world at large for humanitarian purposes. At all times
the Dragon Family have been considered as being the Depositors.
This agreement was not signed by the Committee of 300 and / or the Federal Reserve or anything as of any official status,
but by the nations at large including the United States which was not a real government but a corporation controlled by
foreign interests.
Additionally, the US government borrowed a huge amount of collateral assets from the Dragon Family many years ago. The
base of the lent asset funds from the Dragon Family to the US Government were the Gold and Silver. Therefore the US
government was able to issue huge amounts of USD as currencies (FRNs) via the FRB system.
During the course of their relations over the last century, the Dragon Family has accumulated great wealth (and Trillions and
Trillions in interest payments still owing), in the form of a variety of Notes, Bonds and Certificates that are an Obligation of
the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York
These Bonds have values ranging in the many thousand of Trillions of United States dollars. The Western nations are run at
the discretion of the Committee of 300 and a number of nefarious collectives with various factions and groups including The
hidden Hand and The Federal Reserve System and many other such criminal outfits that worked towards maintaining
control over the Western hemisphere and its people.
This essentially is where we end up with the NWO.
The Dragon Familys investment was with respect to the best interests of the UN termed Third World nations and
especially such berated nations, however the stated intentions never made it to manifestation in said lands; which was
absolutely prevented by the Khazarian-run globalists who have been hiding within Judaism as cover and leveraging the anti-
semitism as a crybaby diversion for centuries.
The Humanitarian accounts were illegally and fraudulently repatriated almost immediately upon signing of the Bretton
Woods agreement and this has continued unabatedly almost o this day.
The financial doors have been closed to the cabal for a while and we are now observing the beginnings of a resistance-
driven man-made collapse / subversion of Cabal control.
The Cabal-driven West have been laboriously attempting to engineer a financial collapse given that they control much of the
food production and finance thereby leaving you, the people with little or nothing other than starvation or slavery should
they allow you to live only to be sucked dry by financial usury, unlawful taxation and the pharmaceutical industry, to name
but three machinations within their armory of assault.
The United Nations Agenda 21, and now also Agenda 2030 states publicly and in their own writing for anyone to see that
they wish to eliminate 80% of the people on the planet.
Related: Agenda 2030 Translator: Decoding The UNs New Sustainable Development Goals
A final note here is that the theft of the Global Collateral Accounts by the West did not include the Dragon Family, therefore
the East has waited a very long time to be finally in control of their own destiny without Western interference. Although the
Cabal are attempting to create a Third World War so that everyone is taken down with them.
Q: Was JFK was working with President Sukarno of Indonesia to open the accounts?
Yes. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy entered into an Agreement with President Sukarno to provide the funds to allow
the United States Treasury to print its own currency, thus subverting the right to print the currency held by the Federal
Reserve. [Note: Some publications spell Sukarno as Soekarno but it should be made clear that both spellings refer to the
same man, unless the author of any particular piece of writing is confused.]
JFK, Soekarno and Johnson
The Agreement would have transferred some 59,000 tons of gold to underpin this currency. The problem with this was that
the US domestic currency would have then been backed by gold which would have been a violation of international
agreements meant to stabilize currencies.
Pictures dont lie. John Kennedy was emotionally high at this meeting, as was Sukarno, but unbeknownst to them, Vice
President Johnson was a member of secret societies, the likes of which Kennedy had spoken against.
My Pentagon sources advised me that Johnson was involved in the murder of JFK. The entire scenario was set up not only
because of what Kennedy was doing in terms of ending the Federal Reserve System and replacing it with the new United
States Treasury currency, but also with regards to the dismantling of the CIA.
In addition it involved both Texaco and Standard Oil and their loss of income in West Papua.
In delivering all of the information that Johnson was getting from Kennedy and Sukarno in Washington D.C. to his cabal
bosses, the Cabal managed to stop Kennedy from moving forward by assassinating him.
With their plans, the Cabal had to stop Kennedy because he wanted to take down the Illuminati et al and the Federal
Reserve System. The daily reports to the Cabal from Lyndon Johnson in Jakarta, Indonesia, doomed Kennedy to his
assassination.
For his painstaking efforts, a CIA coup saw Sukarno removed from presidency and replaced by General Suharto, who then
imposed a lifetime of home imprisonment upon Sukarno.
Upon Kennedys return to the United States, he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, Lyndon Johnsons home state.
Furthermore it has been reported that before JFK was even officially declared dead, Lyndon Johnson himself had been
sworn in as the new President of the United States.
Now do you believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK? Absolutely not. Lyndon Johnson, George H.W. Bush and the Cabal
were responsible for the assassination of JFK.
Lyndon Johnson
Eight days after signing the Green Hilton Memorial agreement with President Sukarno of Indonesia, President Kennedy was
assassinated. President Johnson suspended the EO-11110 as issued by Kennedy and transferred the bullion to the Federal
Reserve. In Indonesia, President Sukarno was gradually being placed under house arrest.
The Green Hilton Agreement was not implemented until 1968 when Sukarno fell from office and at a time when Global
Trade made it imperative to have a Global Currency.
Q: What is your role with these accounts and how were you chosen to be involved?
It all started when I (Neil Keenan) was approached by the Dragon Family (DF), through a diplomat representative named
Akihko Yamaguchi.
Akihko Yamaguchi and Neil Keenan
Because of the assistance and political connections that I had provided him with previously, Yamaguchi persistently sought
out myself to provide direct services on his behalf related to international banking and trading transactions in furtherance of
Dragon family humanitarian programs (which are to be implemented when the Global Collateral Accounts are lawfully
opened).
Q: What is the Monaco Accords and what was accomplished there?
In August of 2011, myself and a very powerful political associate arranged a secret meeting of 57 global finance ministers
(none from any Western nations) aboard a yacht in Monaco for the purpose of setting up a new worldwide, asset-backed
financial system.
Word of the gathering reached the Rockefellers, the pre-eminent U.S. clan of that oligarchy, who dispatched Senator Jay
Rockefeller to essentially crash the party as an uninvited guest.
I physically blocked Rockefeller at the gangplank. When Rockefeller demanded;
Dont you know who I am? I responded, Yes, youre exactly the person we dont want on this boat.
After Rockefellers unceremonious ejection, the yacht was then buzzed by Blackhawk helicopters before French fighter jets
gave a warning pass overhead, whereupon the helicopters retreated.
Within several months, the agreement realized from that meeting, the Monaco Accords, was made official by its co-hosts,
and that document has now been signed by over 180 countries. This was an unprecedented collective step toward wresting
control from the criminal planetary domination by the West. Out of this was born the BRICS alliance.
Note that Part 2 to this interview will be released on Thursday October 13th. Neil will answer how much gold is
actually in existence with these accounts, what role the BRICS is playing, which governments and agencies he is
working with and what role Vladimir Putin is playing on a global level.

The Most Important Meeting Since JFKs Death Just Took Place
This Was The Week The World Got Really Anxious About Globalization's Future
October 11 2016 | From: Bloomberg
Markets might never be the same again.
Weak global trade, fears that the U.K. is marching towards a hard Brexit, and polls indicating that the U.S. election
remains a tighter call than markets are pricing in have led a bevy of analysts to redouble their warnings that a
backlash over globalization is poised to roil global financial markets - with profound consequences for the real
economy and investment strategies.
From the economists and politicians at the annual IMF meeting in Washington to strategists on Wall Street trying to advise
clients, everyone seems to be pondering a future in which cooperation and global trade may look much different than they
do now.
Brexit
Suggestions that the U.K. will prioritize control over its migration policy at the expense of open access to Europe's single
market in negotiations to leave the European Union - a strategy that's being dubbed a "hard Brexit" - loomed large over
global markets.
The U.K. government is strongly supportive of open markets, free markets, open economies, free trade, said Chancellor of
the Exchequer Philip Hammond during a Bloomberg Television interview in New York on Thursday. But we have a problem
- and its not just a British problem, its a developed-world problem - in keeping our populations engaged and supportive of
our market capitalism, our economic model."
Trade
Citing the rising anti-trade sentiment, analysts from Bank of America Merrill Lynch warned that:
Events show nations are becoming less willing to cooperate, more willing to contest," and a backlash against
inequality is likely to trigger more activist fiscal policies.
Looser government spending in developed countries - combined with trade protectionism and wealth redistribution - could
reshape global investment strategies, unleashing a wave of inflation, the bank argued, amid a looming war against
inequality.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew did his part to push for more openness. During an interview in Washington on Thursday,
he said that efforts to boost trade, combined with a more equitable distribution of the fruits of economic growth, are key to
ensuring U.S. prosperity.
Rolling back on globalization would be counterproductive to any attempt to boost median incomes, he added.
Trump
Without mentioning him by name, Lew's comments appeared to nod to Donald Trump, who some believe could take the
U.S. down a more isolationist trading path should he be elected president in November.
The emergence of Donald Trump as a political force reflects a mood of growing discontent about immigration,
globalization and the distribution of wealth," write analysts at Fathom Consulting, a London-based research firm.
Their central scenario is that a Trump administration might be benign for the U.S. economy.
However, in our downside scenario, Donald Dark, global trade falls sharply and a global recession looms. In this
world, isolationism wins, not just in the U.S., but globally," they caution.
Analysts at Standard Chartered Plc agree that the tail risks of a Trump presidency could be significant.

Sexist, Bigot That You Should Promptly Ignore
The main risk with potentially tough negotiating tactics is that trade partners could panic, especially if global
coordination evaporates."
They add that business confidence could take a big hit in this context.
The global trade system could descend into a spiral of trade tariffs, reminiscent of what happened after
the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930, and ultimately a trade war, possibly accompanied by foreign-exchange
devaluations; this would be a lose-lose deal for all."
Market participants are also concerned that populism could take root under a Hillary Clinton administration.
We believe the liberal bases demands on a Clinton Administration could lead to an overly expansive federal
government with aggressive regulators," write analysts at Barclays Plc.
"If the GOP does not unify, Clinton may expand President Obamas use of executive authority to accomplish her
goals."
Managing Risks
No matter who wins in November, Citigroup Inc. Head FX Strategist Steven Englander warns that investors are failing
to hedge against rising event risks, with the U.S. election serving as a possible stress test for global markets.
If everyone is positioning to pull the trigger on positioning as soon as they know the outcome, the repressed
volatility may emerge in a very sharp burst," he points out.
Amid political attacks on the apparent inequities generated by monetary policy in the U.K., sluggish trade challenging
Chinese growth, and the rise of populist movements in Europe, there are plenty of reasons why market players should snap
up volatility hedges, analysts say.
In our view, volatility is going to heat up in the coming months given the U.S. election, China's potential response
against a stronger currency, and Italian political risks," concluded Martin Enlund, chief currency strategist at
Nordea Markets.

How Can We Stop Drug Trafficking When Its The CIA Thats Running The Show / The
Philippines Fight The Cabal
October 9 2016 | From: Geopolitics
Historically, illegal drugs were being used to destroy sovereign countries, and by now the
Philippines war on drugs is a regular headline by CIA funded journalists and media networks, and a
constant object for criticism of the Soros Open Society Foundation funded pseudo-non-
government organizations, for being brutal and violative of human rights.
Those same critics, however, failed to put their money where their mouth is, especially when it comes to helping the
Duterte government rehabilitate close to a million drug surrendered.
Related: Duterte wants to liberate Philippines from U.S. shackles: foreign minister
They would rather focus our attention into the 3,700 deaths, some of which are the direct result of the decisive police action,
and the rest were victims of the drug syndicates who are now cleaning their own ranks from squealers, i.e. those who have
surrendered and subsequently named their suppliers.
The same bleeding hearts who chose to ignore the fact that
the statistics related to crime are just the same as in past
administrations.
Only this time it is the criminals who are dying, because

once a poor brat is hooked into meth, he must do whatever
he can get his fix for the day, which include cell phone
snatching, daylight robbery, etc.
Other sordid crimes relating to meth addiction were also

brought to light including cannibalism, and in the realm of
politics, it has sent a former justice secretary to the present
senate, on top of congressmen and mayors who are already
funded with drug money for years.
In short, the Philippines war on drugs is a necessary

measure that must be taken before the country plunges
completely into another failed state.
Still at 100th day in office, the Duterte government is able to

reduce the crime rate to 50% nationwide using only the
national budget crafted by his predecessor.
The same budget, which does not include the establishment

of rehabilitation centers necessary to help the projected 4
million drug dependents, and for whom the US, EU and UN
human rights advocates could help more than just paying
lip service to the 3,750 so called victims of extrajudicial
killings.
To those who would rather criticize the sensible actions of the Philippine government that is enjoying 97% trust rating, are you
really raising concerns over human rights vilolations, or just in it to protect the illegal drug industry?
CIA Drug Trafficking Exposed by Political Prisoner
The Real Drug Lords: A brief history of CIA involvement in the Drug Trade
1947 to 1951, France
According to Alfred W. McCoy in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, CIA arms, money, and disinformation enabled
Corsican criminal syndicates in Marseille to wrestle control of labor unions from the Communist Party.
The Corsicans gained political influence and control over the docks - ideal conditions for cementing a long-term partnership
with mafia drug distributors, which turned Marseille into the postwar heroin capital of the Western world. Marseilles first
heroin laboratones were opened in 1951, only months after the Corsicans took over the waterfront.
Early 1950s, Southeast Asia
The Nationalist Chinese army, organized by the CIA to wage war against Communist China, became the opium barons of The
Golden Triangle (parts of Burma, Thailand and Laos), the worlds largest source of opium and heroin.
Related: Duterte Winning vs. NarcoPolitics Left by Pro-West Liberal Party; Crossing the Rubicon towards BRICS
Air America, the ClAs principal airline proprietary, flew the drugs all over Southeast Asia. (See Christopher Robbins, Air
America, Avon Books, 1985, chapter 9)
1950s to early 1970s, Indochina
During U.S. military involvement in Laos and other parts of Indochina, Air America flew opium and heroin throughout the area.
Many Gls in Vietnam became addicts. A laboratory built at CIA headquarters in northern Laos was used to refine heroin. After
a decade of American military intervention, Southeast Asia had become the source of 70 percent of the worlds illicit opium
and the major supplier of raw materials for Americas booming heroin market.
1973-80, Australia
The Nugan Hand Bank of Sydney was a CIA bank in all but name. Among its officers were a network of US generals,
admirals and CIA men, including fommer CIA Director William Colby, who was also one of its lawyers.
With branches in Saudi Arabia, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and the U.S., Nugan Hand Bank financed drug
trafficking, money laundering and international arms dealings. In 1980, amidst several mysterious deaths, the bank collapsed,
$50 million in debt. (See Jonathan Kwitny, The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money and the CIA, W.W.
Norton & Co., 1 987.)
1970s and 1980s, Panama
For more than a decade, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega was a highly paid CIA asset and collaborator, despite
knowledge by U.S. drug authorities as early as 1971 that the general was heavily involved in drug trafficking and money
laundering.
Noriega facilitated guns-for-drugs flights for the contras, providing protection and pilots, as well as safe havens for drug
cartel otficials, and discreet banking facilities. U.S. officials, including then-ClA Director William Webster and several DEA
officers, sent Noriega letters of praise for efforts to thwart drug trafficking (albeit only against competitors of his Medellin
Cartel patrons).
The U.S. government only turned against Noriega, invading Panama in December 1989 and kidnapping the general once
they discovered he was providing intelligence and services to the Cubans and Sandinistas. Ironically drug trafficking through
Panama increased after the US invasion. (John Dinges, Our Man in Panama, Random House, 1991; National Security
Archive Documentation Packet The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations.)
1980s, Central America
The San Jose Mercury News series documents just one thread of the interwoven operations linking the CIA, the contras and
the cocaine cartels. Obsessed with overthrowing the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua, Reagan administration
officials tolerated drug trafficking as long as the traffickers gave support to the contras.
In 1989, the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations (the Kerry committee) concluded a
three-year investigation by stating:
There was substantial evidence of drug smuggling through the war zones on the part of individual Contras, Contra
suppliers, Contra pilots mercenaries who worked with the Contras, and Contra supporters throughout the region...
U.S. officials involved in Central America failed to address the drug issue for fear of jeopardizing the war efforts
against Nicaragua.
In each case, one or another agency of the U.S. govemment had intormation regarding the involvement either
while it was occurring, or immediately thereafter. Senior U S policy makers were nit immune to the idea that drug
money was a perfect solution to the Contras funding problems.
- Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy, a Report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and Intemational Operations, 1989
In Costa Rica, which served as the Southern Front for the contras (Honduras being the Northern Front), there were several
different ClA-contra networks involved in drug trafficking. In addition to those servicing the Meneses-Blandon operation
detailed by the Mercury News, and Noriegas operation, there was CIA operative John Hull, whose farms along Costa Ricas
border with Nicaragua were the main staging area for the contras.
Hull and other ClA-connected contra supporters and pilots teamed up with George Morales, a major Miami-based Colombian
drug trafficker who later admitted to giving $3 million in cash and several planes to contra leaders.
In 1989, after the Costa Rica government indicted Hull for drug trafficking, a DEA-hired plane clandestinely and illegally flew
the CIA operative to Miami, via Haiti. The US repeatedly thwarted Costa Rican efforts to extradite Hull back to Costa Rica to
stand trial.
Another Costa Rican-based drug ring involved a group of Cuban Amencans whom the CIA had hired as military trainers for
the contras. Many had long been involved with the CIA and drug trafficking They used contra planes and a Costa Rican-
based shrimp company, which laundered money for the CIA, to move cocaine to the U.S. Costa Rica was not the only route.
Guatemala, whose military intelligence service - closely associated with the CIA - harbored many drug traffickers, according
to the DEA, was another way station along the cocaine highway.
Additionally, the Medellin Cartels Miami accountant, Ramon Milian Rodriguez, testified that he funneled nearly $10 million to
Nicaraguan contras through long-time CIA operative Felix Rodriguez, who was based at Ilopango Air Force Base in El
Salvador. The contras provided both protection and infrastructure (planes, pilots, airstrips, warehouses, front companies and
banks) to these ClA-linked drug networks.
At least four transport companies under investigation for drug trafficking received US govemment contracts to carry non-lethal
supplies to the contras. Southern Air Transport, formerly ClA-owned, and later under Pentagon contract, was involved in the
drug running as well.
Cocaine-laden planes flew to Florida, Texas, Louisiana and other locations, including several militarv bases Designated as
Contra Craft, these shipments were not to be inspected.
When some authority wasnt clued in and made an arrest, powerful strings were pulled on behalf of dropping the case,
acquittal, reduced sentence, or deportation.
1980s to early 1990s, Afghanistan
ClA-supported Moujahedeen rebels engaged heavily in drug trafficking while fighting against the Soviet-supported
govemment and its plans to reform the very backward Afghan society. The Agencys principal client was Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar, one of the leading druglords and leading heroin refiner.
CIA supplied trucks and mules, which had carried arms into Afghanistan, were used to transport opium to laboratories along
the Afghan Pakistan border.
The output provided up to one half of the heroin used annually in the United States and three-quarters of that used in Western
Europe.
US officials admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against the drug operabon because of a desire
not to offend their Pakistani and Afghan allies. In 1993, an official of the DEA called Afghanistan the new Colombia of the drug
world.
Mid-1980s to early 1990s, Haiti
While working to keep key Haitian military and political leaders in power, the CIA turned a blind eye to their clients drug
trafficking. In 1986, the Agency added some more names to its payroll by creating a new Haitian organization, the National
Intelligence Service (SIN).
SIN was purportedly created to fight the cocaine trade, though SIN officers themselves engaged in the trafficking, a trade
aided and abetted by some of the Haitian military and political leaders.
Washingtons Hidden Agenda: Restore the Drug Trade
In 2014 the Afghan opium cultivation has once again hit a record high, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crimes 2014 Afghan Opium Survey.
In the course of the last four years, there has been a surge in Afghan opium production. The Vienna based UN
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reveals that poppy cultivation in 2012 extended over an area of more than
154,000 hectares, an increase of 18% over 2011. A UNODC spokesperson confirmed in 2013 that opium
production is heading towards record levels."
Source: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes 2014 Afghan Opium Survey.
According to the 2012 Afghanistan Opium Survey released in November 2012 by the Ministry of Counter Narcotics (MCN)
and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). potential opium production in 2012 was of the order of 3,700
tons, a decline of 18 percent in relation to 2001, according to UNODC data.
There is reason to believe that this figure of 3,700 tons is grossly underestimated. Moreover, it contradicts the UNOCDs own
predictions of record harvests over an extended area of cultivation.
While bad weather and damaged crops may have played a role as suggested by the UNODC, based on historical trends, the
potential production for an area of cultivation of 154,000 hectares, should be well in excess of 6000 tons. With 80,000
hectares in cultivation in 2003, production was already of the order of 3600 tons.
It is worth noting that UNODC has modified the concepts and figures on opium sales and heroin production, as outlined by the
European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).
A change in UN methodology in 2010 resulted in a sharp downward revision of Afghan heroin production
estimates for 2004 to 2011. UNODC used to estimate that the entire global opium crop was processed into heroin,
and provided global heroin production estimates on that basis.
Before 2010, a global conversion rate of about 10 kg of opium to 1 kg of heroin was used to estimate world heroin
production (17). For instance, the estimated 4 620 tonnes of opium harvested worldwide in 2005 was thought to
make it possible to manufacture 472 tonnes of heroin (UNODC, 2009a).
However, UNODC now estimates that a large proportion of the Afghan opium harvest is not processed into
heroin or morphine but remains available on the drug market as opium
- UNODC, 2010a). EU drug markets report: a strategic analysis, EMCDDA, Lisbon, January 2013 emphasis added
There is no evidence that a large percentage of opium production is no longer processed into heroin as claimed by the UN.
This revised UNODC methodology has served, through the outright manipulation of statistical concepts to artificially
reduce the size of of the global trade in heroin.
According to the UNODC, quoted in the EMCDDA report:

An estimated 3 400 tonnes of Afghan opium was not transformed into heroin or morphine in 2011. Compared with
previous years, this is an exceptionally high proportion of the total crop, representing nearly 60 % of the Afghan
opium harvest and close to 50 % of the global harvest in 2011."
What the UNODC, whose mandate is to support the prevention of organized criminal activity has done is to obfuscate the
size and criminal nature of the Afghan drug trade, intimating without evidence that a large part of the opium is no longer
channeled towards the illegal heroin marke.
In 2012 according to the UNODC, farmgate prices for opium were of the order of 196 per kg.
Each kg. of opium produces 100 grams of pure heroin. The US retail prices for heroin (with a low level of purity) is, according
to UNODC of the order of $172 a gram. The price per gram of pure heroin is substantially higher.
The profits are largely reaped at the level of the international wholesale and retail markets of heroin as well as in the process
of money laundering in Western banking institutions.
The revenues derived from the global trade in heroin constitute a multibillion dollar bonanza for financial institutions and
organized crime.
The following article first published in May 2005 provides a background on the history of the Afghan opium trade which
continues to this date to be protected by US-NATO occupation forces on behalf of powerful financial interests.
The Spoils of War: Afghanistans Multibillion Dollar Heroin Trade
Since the US led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, the Golden Crescent opium trade has soared. According to the US
media, this lucrative contraband is protected by Osama, the Taliban, not to mention, of course, the regional warlords, in
defiance of the international community.
The heroin business is said to be filling the coffers of the Taliban. In the words of the US State Department:
Opium is a source of literally billions of dollars to extremist and criminal groups [C]utting down the opium supply
is central to establishing a secure and stable democracy, as well as winning the global war on terrorism,
- Statement of Assistant Secretary of State Robert Charles. Congressional Hearing, 1 April 2004
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), opium production in Afghanistan in 2003 is estimated
at 3,600 tons, with an estimated area under cultivation of the order of 80,000 hectares. (UNODC at www.unodc.org/unodc ).
An even larger bumper harvest is predicted for 2004.
The State Department suggests that up to 120 000 hectares were under cultivation in 2004. (Congressional Hearing, op cit):
We could be on a path for a significant surge. Some observers indicate perhaps as much as 50 percent to 100
percent growth in the 2004 crop over the already troubling figures from last year.
(Ibid)
Operation Containment
In response to the post-Taliban surge in opium production, the Bush administration has boosted its counter terrorism
activities, while allocating substantial amounts of public money to the Drug Enforcement Administrations West Asia initiative,
dubbed Operation Containment.
The various reports and official statements are, of course, blended in with the usual balanced self critique that the
international community is not doing enough, and that what we need is transparency.
The headlines are Drugs, warlords and insecurity overshadow Afghanistans path to democracy. In chorus, the US media is
accusing the defunct hard-line Islamic regime, without even acknowledging that the Taliban in collaboration with the
United Nations had imposed a successful ban on poppy cultivation in 2000.
Opium production declined by more than 90 per cent in 2001.
In fact the surge in opium cultivation production coincided with the onslaught of the US-led military operation and the downfall
of the Taliban regime. From October through December 2001, farmers started to replant poppy on an extensive basis.
The success of Afghanistans 2000 drug eradication program under the Taliban had been acknowledged at the October 2001
session of the UN General Assembly (which took place barely a few days after the beginning of the 2001 bombing raids). No
other UNODC member country was able to implement a comparable program:
Turning first to drug control, I had expected to concentrate my remarks on the implications of the Talibans ban on
opium poppy cultivation in areas under their control
We now have the results of our annual ground survey of poppy cultivation in Afghanistan. This years production
[2001] is around 185 tons.
This is down from the 3300 tons last year [2000], a decrease of over 94 per cent. Compared to the record harvest
of 4700 tons two years ago, the decrease is well over 97 per cent.
Any decrease in illicit cultivation is welcomed, especially in cases like this when no displacement, locally or in other
countries, took place to weaken the achievement.
- Remarks on behalf of UNODC Executive Director at the UN General Assembly, Oct 2001
United Nations Coverup
In the wake of the US invasion, shift in rhetoric. UNODC is now acting as if the 2000 opium ban had never happened:
The battle against narcotics cultivation has been fought and won in other countries and it [is] possible to do so
here [in Afghanistan], with strong, democratic governance, international assistance and improved security and
integrity.
- Statement of the UNODC Representative in Afghanistan at the :February 2004 International Counter Narcotics
Conference, www.unodc.org/pdf/afg
In fact, both Washington and the UNODC now claim that the objective of the Taliban in 2000 was not really drug eradication
but a devious scheme to trigger an artificial shortfall in supply, which would drive up World prices of heroin.

Ironically, this twisted logic, which now forms part of a new UN consensus, is refuted by a report of the UNODC office in
Pakistan, which confirmed, at the time, that there was no evidence of stockpiling by the Taliban. (Deseret News, Salt Lake
City, Utah. 5 October 2003)
Washingtons Hidden Agenda: Restore the Drug Trade
In the wake of the 2001 US bombing of Afghanistan, the British government of Tony Blair was entrusted by the G-8 Group of
leading industrial nations to carry out a drug eradication program, which would, in theory, allow Afghan farmers to switch out
of poppy cultivation into alternative crops. The British were working out of Kabul in close liaison with the US DEAs Operation
Containment.
The UK sponsored crop eradication program is an obvious smokescreen. Since October 2001, opium poppy cultivation has
skyrocketed. The presence of occupation forces in Afghanistan did not result in the eradication of poppy cultivation. Quite the
opposite.
The Taliban prohibition had indeed caused the beginning of a heroin shortage in Europe by the end of 2001, as
acknowledged by the UNODC.
Heroin is a multibillion dollar business supported by powerful interests, which requires a steady and secure commodity flow.
One of the hidden objectives of the war was precisely to restore the CIA sponsored drug trade to its historical levels and
exert direct control over the drug routes.
Immediately following the October 2001 invasion, opium markets were restored. Opium prices spiraled. By early 2002, the
opium price (in dollars/kg) was almost 10 times higher than in 2000.
In 2001, under the Taliban opiate production stood at 185 tons, increasing to 3400 tons in 2002 under the US sponsored
puppet regime of President Hamid Karzai.
While highlighting Karzais patriotic struggle against the Taliban, the media fails to mention that Karzai collaborated with the
Taliban. He had also been on the payroll of a major US oil company, UNOCAL. In fact, since the mid-1990s, Hamid Karzai
had acted as a consultant and lobbyist for UNOCAL in negotiations with the Taliban. According to the Saudi newspaper Al-
Watan:
Karzai has been a Central Intelligence Agency covert operator since the 1980s. He collaborated with the CIA in
funneling U.S. aid to the Taliban as of 1994 when the Americans had secretly and through the Pakistanis
[specifically the ISI] supported the Talibans assumption of power.

History of the Golden Crescent Drug Trade
It is worth recalling the history of the Golden Crescent drug trade, which is intimately related to the CIAs covert operations in
the region since the onslaught of the Soviet-Afghan war and its aftermath.
Prior to the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-1989), opium production in Afghanistan and Pakistan was directed to small regional
markets. There was no local production of heroin. (Alfred McCoy, Drug Fallout: the CIAs Forty Year Complicity in the
Narcotics Trade. The Progressive, 1 August 1997).
The Afghan narcotics economy was a carefully designed project of the CIA, supported by US foreign policy.
The story of the take down of the BCCI was told in the excellent film "The International"
As revealed in the Iran-Contra and Bank of Commerce and Credit International (BCCI) scandals, CIA covert operations in
support of the Afghan Mujahideen had been funded through the laundering of drug money. Dirty money was recycled
through a number of banking institutions (in the Middle East) as well as through anonymous CIA shell companies , into
covert money, used to finance various insurgent groups during the Soviet-Afghan war, and its aftermath:
Because the US wanted to supply the Mujahideen rebels in Afghanistan with stinger missiles and other military
hardware it needed the full cooperation of Pakistan. By the mid-1980s, the CIA operation in Islamabad was one of
the largest US intelligence stations in the World.
`If BCCI is such an embarrassment to the US that forthright investigations are not being pursued it has a lot to do
with the blind eye the US turned to the heroin trafficking in Pakistan, said a US intelligence officer."
(The Dirtiest Bank of All, Time, July 29, 1991, p. 22.)
Researcher Alfred McCoys study confirms that within two years of the onslaught of the CIAs covert operation in Afghanistan
in 1979;
The Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands became the

worlds top heroin producer, supplying 60 per cent of
U.S. demand. In Pakistan, the heroin-addict
population went from near zero in 1979 to 1.2 million
by 1985, a much steeper rise than in any other
nation.
CIA assets again controlled this heroin trade. As the

Mujahideen guerrillas seized territory inside
Afghanistan, they ordered peasants to plant opium
as a revolutionary tax.
Across the border in Pakistan, Afghan leaders and

local syndicates under the protection of Pakistan
Intelligence operated hundreds of heroin
laboratories. During this decade of wide-open drug-
dealing, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in
Islamabad failed to instigate major seizures or
arrests.
U.S. officials had refused to investigate charges of

heroin dealing by its Afghan allies because U.S.
narcotics policy in Afghanistan has been
subordinated to the war against Soviet influence
there.
In 1995, the former CIA director of the Afghan

operation, Charles Cogan, admitted the CIA had
indeed sacrificed the drug war to fight the Cold
War..."
"...Our main mission was to do as much damage as possible to the Soviets. We didnt really have the resources or
the time to devote to an investigation of the drug trade, I dont think that we need to apologize for this. Every
situation has its fallout.
There was fallout in terms of drugs, yes. But the main objective was accomplished. The Soviets left Afghanistan.
(McCoy, op cit)
The role of the CIA, which is amply documented, is not mentioned in official UNODC publications, which focus on internal
social and political factors. Needless to say, the historical roots of the opium trade have been grossly distorted.
- See UNODC The Opium Economy In Afghanistan
According to the UNODC, Afghanistans opium production has increased, more than 15-fold since 1979. In the wake of the
Soviet-Afghan war, the growth of the narcotics economy has continued unabated. The Taliban, which were supported by the
US, were initially instrumental in the further growth of opiate production until the 2000 opium ban.
- See UNODC The Opium Economy In Afghanistan
This recycling of drug money was used to finance the post-Cold War insurgencies in Central Asia and the Balkans including
Al Qaeda.
Narcotics: Second to Oil and the Arms Trade
The revenues generated from the CIA sponsored Afghan drug trade are sizeable. The Afghan trade in opiates constitutes a
large share of the worldwide annual turnover of narcotics, which was estimated by the United Nations to be of the order of
$400-500 billion.
(Douglas Keh, Drug Money in a Changing World, Technical document No. 4, 1998, Vienna UNDCP, p. 4. See also United
Nations Drug Control Program, Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 1999, E/INCB/1999/1 United Nations,
Vienna 1999, p. 49-51, and Richard Lapper, UN Fears Growth of Heroin Trade, Financial Times, 24 February 2000).
At the time these UN figures were first brought out (1994), the (estimated) global trade in drugs was of the same order of
magnitude as the global trade in oil.
The IMF estimated global money laundering to be between 590 billion and 1.5 trillion dollars a year, representing 2-5 percent
of global GDP. (Asian Banker, 15 August 2003). A large share of global money laundering as estimated by the IMF is linked
to the trade in narcotics.
Based on recent figures (2003), drug trafficking constitutes:
The third biggest global commodity in cash terms after oil and the arms trade.
- The Independent, 29 February 2004
Moreover, the above figures including those on money laundering, confirm that the bulk of the revenues associated with the
global trade in narcotics are not appropriated by terrorist groups and warlords, as suggested by the UNODC report.
There are powerful business and financial interests behind narcotics. From this standpoint, geopolitical and military control
over the drug routes is as strategic as oil and oil pipelines.
However, what distinguishes narcotics from legal commodity trade is that narcotics constitutes a major source of wealth
formation not only for organised crime but also for the US intelligence apparatus, which increasingly constitutes a powerful
actor in the spheres of finance and banking.
In turn, the CIA, which protects the drug trade, has developed complex business and undercover links to major
criminal syndicates involved in the drug trade.
In other words, intelligence agencies and powerful business syndicates allied with organized crime, are competing for the
strategic control over the heroin routes. The multi-billion dollar revenues of narcotics are deposited in the Western banking
system.
Most of the large international banks together with their affiliates in the offshore banking havens launder large amounts of
narco-dollars.
This trade can only prosper if the main actors involved in narcotics have political friends in high places. Legal and illegal
undertakings are increasingly intertwined, the dividing line between businesspeople and criminals is blurred.
In turn, the relationship among criminals, politicians and members of the intelligence establishment has tainted the structures
of the state and the role of its institutions.
Where does the money go? Who benefits from the Afghan opium trade?
This trade is characterized by a complex web of intermediaries. There are various stages of the drug trade, several
interlocked markets, from the impoverished poppy farmer in Afghanistan to the wholesale and retail heroin markets in
Western countries. In other words, there is a hierarchy of prices for opiates.
This hierarchy of prices is acknowledged by the US administration:
Afghan heroin sells on the international narcotics market for 100 times the price farmers get for their opium right
out of the field.
(US State Department quoted by the Voice of America (VOA), 27 February 2004).
According to the UNODC, opium in Afghanistan generated in 2003 an income of one billion US dollars for farmers and US$
1.3 billion for traffickers, equivalent to over half of its national income.
Consistent with these UNODC estimates, the average price for fresh opium was $350 a kg. (2002); the 2002 production was
3400 tons.
The UNDOC estimate, based on local farmgate and wholesale prices constitutes, however, a very small percentage of the
total turnover of the multibillion dollar Afghan drug trade.
The UNODC, estimates the total annual turn-over of international trade in Afghan opiates at US$ 30 billion. An examination
of the wholesale and retail prices for heroin in the Western countries suggests, however, that the total revenues generated,
including those at the retail level, are substantially higher.
Wholesale Prices of Heroin in Western Countries
It is estimated that one kilo of opium produces approximately 100 grams of (pure) heroin. The US DEA confirms that;
SWA [South West Asia meaning Afghanistan] heroin in New York City was selling in the late 1990s for $85,000 to
$190,000 per kilogram wholesale with a 75 percent purity ratio."
- National Drug Intelligence Center
According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA):
The price of SEA [South East Asian] heroin ranges from $70,000 to $100,000 per unit (700 grams) and the purity
of SEA heroin ranges from 85 to 90 percent
(ibid).
The SEA unit of 700 gr (85-90 % purity) translates into a wholesale price per kg. for pure heroin ranging between $115,000
and $163,000.
The DEA figures quoted above, while reflecting the situation in the 1990s, are broadly consistent with recent British figures.
According to a report published in the Guardian (11 August 2002), the wholesale price of (pure) heroin in London (UK) was of
the order of 50,000 pounds sterling, approximately $80,000 (2002).
Whereas as there is competition between different sources of heroin supply, it should be emphasized that Afghan heroin
represents a rather small percentage of the US heroin market, which is largely supplied out of Colombia.
Retail Prices
United States
The NYPD notes that retail heroin prices are down and purity is relatively high. Heroin previously sold for about
$90 per gram but now sells for $65 to $70 per gram or less.
Anecdotal information from the NYPD indicates that purity for a bag of heroin commonly ranges from 50 to 80
percent but can be as low as 30 percent.
Information as of June 2000 indicates that bundles (10 bags) purchased by Dominican buyers from Dominican
sellers in larger quantities (about 150 bundles) sold for as little as $40 each, or $55 each in Central Park.
DEA reports that an ounce of heroin usually sells for $2,500 to $5,000, a gram for $70 to $95, a bundle for $80 to
$90, and a bag for $10. The DMP reports that the average heroin purity at the street level in 1999 was about 62
percent.
The NYPD and DEA retail price figures seem consistent. The DEA price of $70-$95, with a purity of 62 percent translates into
$112 to $153 per gram of pure heroin. The NYPD figures are roughly similar with perhaps lower estimates for purity.
It should be noted that when heroin is purchased in very small quantities, the retail price tends to be much higher. In the US,
purchase is often by the bag; the typical bag according to Rocheleau and Boyum contains 25 milligrams of pure
heroin.( Office of National Drug Control Policy )
A $10 dollar bag in NYC (according to the DEA figure quoted above) would convert into a price of $400 per gram, each bag
containing 0.025gr. of pure heroin. (op cit). In other words, for very small purchases marketed by street pushers, the retail
margin tends to be significantly higher. In the case of the $10 bag purchase, it is roughly 3 to 4 times the corresponding retail
price per gram.($112-$153)
United Kingdom
In Britain, the retail street price per gram of heroin, according to British Police sources, has fallen from 74 in 1997 to 61 [in
2004]. [i.e. from approximately $133 to $110, based on the 2004 rate of exchange] (Independent, 3 March 2004).
In some cities it was as low as 30-40 per gram with a low level of purity. (AAP News, 3 March 2004). According to
Drugscope ( www.drugscope.org.uk ), the average price for a gram of heroin in Britain is between 40 and 90 ($72- $162
per gram) (The report does not mention purity). The street price of heroin was 60 per gram in April 2002 according to the
National Criminal Intelligence Service.
The Hierarchy of Prices
We are dealing with a hierarchy of prices, from the farmgate price in the producing country, upwards, to the final retail street
price. The latter is often 80-100 times the price paid to the farmer.
In other words, the opiate product transits through several markets from the producing country to the transshipment
country(ies), to the consuming countries. In the latter, there are wide margins between the landing price at the point of entry,
demanded by the drug cartels and the wholesale prices and the retail street prices, protected by Western organized crime.
The Global Proceeds of the Afghan Narcotics Trade
In Afghanistan, the reported production of 3,600 tons of opium in 2003 would allow for the production of approximately
360,000 kg of pure heroin. Gross revenues accruing to Afghan farmers are roughly estimated by the UNODC to be of the
order of $1 billion, with 1.3 billion accruing to local traffickers.
When sold in Western markets at a heroin wholesale price of the order of $100,000 a kg (with a 70 percent purity ratio), the
global wholesale proceeds (corresponding to 3600 tons of Afghan opium) would be of the order of 51.4 billion dollars.
The latter constitutes a conservative estimate based on the various figures for wholesale prices in the previous section.
The total proceeds of the Afghan narcotics trade (in terms of total value added) is estimated using the final heroin retail price.
In other words, the retail value of the trade is ultimately the criterion for measuring the importance of the drug trade in terms of
revenue generation and wealth formation.
A meaningful estimate of the retail value, however, is almost impossible to ascertain due to the fact that retail prices vary
considerably within urban areas, from one city to another and between consuming countries, not to mention variations in
purity and quality (see above).
The evidence on retail margins, namely the difference between wholesale and retail values in the consuming countries,
nonetheless, suggests that a large share of the total (money) proceeds of the drug trade are generated at the retail level.
In other words, a significant portion of the proceeds of the drug trade accrues to criminal and business syndicates in Western
countries involved in the local wholesale and retail narcotics markets. And the various criminal gangs involved in retail trade
are invariably protected by the corporate crime syndicates.
90 percent of heroin consumed in the UK is from Afghanistan. Using the British retail price figure from UK police sources of
$110 a gram (with an assumed 50 percent purity level), the total retail value of the Afghan narcotics trade in 2003 (3,600 tons
of opium) would be the order of 79.2 billion dollars. The latter should be considered as a simulation rather than an estimate.
Under this assumption (simulation), a billion dollars gross revenue to the farmers in Afghanistan (2003) would generate global
narcotics earnings, accruing at various stages and in various markets of the order of 79.2 billion dollars.
These global proceeds accrue to business syndicates, intelligence agencies, organized crime, financial institutions,
wholesalers, retailers, etc. involved directly or indirectly in the drug trade.
In turn, the proceeds of this lucrative trade are deposited in Western banks, which constitute an essential mechanism in the
laundering of dirty money.
A very small percentage accrues to farmers and traders in the producing country. Bear in mind that the net income accruing
to Afghan farmers is but a fraction of the estimated 1 billion dollar amount. The latter does not include payments of farm
inputs, interest on loans to money lenders, political protection, etc.
- See also UNODC, The Opium Economy in Afghanistan, The Opium Economy In Afghanistan, Vienna, 2003, p. 7-8.
The Share of the Afghan Heroin in the Global Drug Market
Afghanistan produces over 70 percent of the global supply of heroin and heroin represents a sizeable fraction of the global
narcotics market, estimated by the UN to be of the order of $400-500 billion.
There are no reliable estimates on the distribution of the global narcotics trade between the main categories: Cocaine,
Opium/Heroin, Cannabis, Amphetamine Type Stimulants (ATS), Other Drugs.
The Laundering of Drug Money
The proceeds of the drug trade are deposited in the banking system. Drug money is laundered in the numerous offshore
banking havens in Switzerland, Luxembourg, the British Channel Islands, the Cayman Islands and some 50 other locations
around the globe.
It is here that the criminal syndicates involved in the drug trade and the representatives of the worlds largest commercial
banks interact. Dirty money is deposited in these offshore havens, which are controlled by the major Western commercial
banks.
The latter have a vested interest in maintaining and sustaining the drug trade. (For further details, see Michel Chossudovsky,
The Crimes of Business and the Business of Crimes, Covert Action Quarterly, Fall 1996)
Once the money has been laundered, it can be recycled into bona fide investments not only in real estate, hotels, etc, but also
in other areas such as the services economy and manufacturing. Dirty and covert money is also funneled into various
financial instruments including the trade in derivatives, primary commodities, stocks, and government bonds.
Concluding Remarks: Criminalization of US Foreign Policy
US foreign policy supports the workings of a thriving criminal economy in which the demarcation between organized capital
and organized crime has become increasingly blurred.
The heroin business is not filling the coffers of the Taliban as claimed by US government and the international community:
quite the opposite!
The proceeds of this illegal trade are the source of wealth formation, largely reaped by powerful business/criminal
interests within the Western countries. These interests are sustained by US foreign policy.
Decision-making in the US State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon is instrumental in supporting this highly profitable
multibillion dollar trade, third in commodity value after oil and the arms trade.
The Afghan drug economy is protected.
The heroin trade was part of the war agenda. What this war has achieved is to restore a compliant narco-State, headed by a
US appointed puppet.
The powerful financial interests behind narcotics are supported by the militarisation of the worlds major drug triangles (and
transshipment routes), including the Golden Crescent and the Andean region of South America (under the so-called Andean
Initiative).

Inflation: The Most Evil Threat = Governments Robbing Their Citizens

October 8 2016 | From: FinalWakeUpCall
Inflation, is an invisible, secret tax that not even 1% of common people understand. It is dangerous
and most of the time a fatal disease.
If not under control in time, it can destroy society. No government is willing to accept responsibility for causing
inflation. They always find an excuse; such as greedy businessmen, selfish trade unions, spendthrift consumers,
Arab sheiks that have raised the price of oil, bad weather, or anything else that seems plausible.
Although all these can temporarily produce higher prices for individual items; they cannot produce continuing inflation for
one very simple reason; None of the above alleged culprits possesses a printing press, to turn out pieces of paper called
money; None can legally authorise a bookkeeper to make entries on ledgers that are the equivalent of those pieces of
paper.
Over time, the result will be an immensely lower standard of living, resulting from the declining purchasing power and
increasing commodity prices. Real wages will be much lower, as employers will not readily increase wages to keep up with
inflation.
Under a paper system without backing, the entire monetary system is controlled by the political class, which has
the power to allocate capital or to deny it.
This implies that the people heading the worlds capital markets, rather than acting as capital allocators, have become mere
speculative marionettes, whose strings are controlled by the well connected and the influential.
Inflation is a printing press phenomenon. The two important basic questions are:
Why do governments increase the quantity of money?
Why do they produce inflation when they understand the potential harm?
If the quantity of goods and services available for purchase for short-term output were to increase as rapidly as the
quantity of money, prices would tend to be stable.
Prices may fall gradually, as more became available, while people keep their wealth in the form of money. Inflation occurs
when the quantity of money rises more rapidly than output and the more rapid the rise in the quantity of money, the greater
the rate of inflation.
Output is limited by the physical and human resources available, and by the improvement in knowledge and capacity to use
them. At best the output can grow only fairly slowly. The same is the case, although always temporarily and for a brief period
of time, for money backed by a commodity. While, paper money has no limitation as does commodity-backed money.
Inflation is a Monetary Phenomenon:
In short; Inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon, produced by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in
output. Excessive monetary growth produces inflation, caused by governments. In general, inflation is worse than a
financial crisis.
Taxpayers money is spent for nothing without reform in sight; Increase in unemployment, as businesses go bankrupt.
Bankers that caused the 2008 financial crisis were bailed out with peoples money and their managers were left in
charge who in turn were taking on even more risks with taxpayers deposits in order to rake up even larger
bonuses.
Eventually these schemes will result in a massive inflation, never witnessed before. The debt is structural; its irresolvable,
there is no way to repair this economy.
Inflation is Legalised Theft:
Inflation is nothing more than legalised theft by your government; inflation is only two percent, is what the Statistics suggest.
But these numbers dont show the truth. Todays real inflation rate is probably closer to 9 %, maybe even higher.
Who knows? All published inflation data are a blatant lie, as these numbers are made up to suit the government.
Showing lower inflation in statistics looks better. The theft committed by governments is concealed.
When central banks print reserves far in excess of domestic savings, the result is inevitably inflation. The more they print,
the more capital is available forinstitutions central banks to invest.
Related: Who Owns New Zealand's Banks - And Australia's Banks - Anyone's Banks?
This creates massive asset inflation, in the price of assets, as central bankers buy bonds, stocks, and real estate to push
economies upwards all around the world. Instead of triggering an immediate currency flight, as seen in Argentina or
Zimbabwe, this inflation has produced an investment-generated boom.
The ongoing financial boom is a fallacy of historic portions. Nobody knows exactly when, but eventually the world will lose
faith in central banks ability to boost markets.
A Better Way Than Creating Inflation:
If additional government spending was financed either by taxes or by borrowing from the public, that would not lead to more
rapid monetary growth. In this case the government would have more to spend, while the public would have less.
But the easy way out is increasing the quantity of money, because thats more attractive since the public doesnt understand
the severe implications, and it seems like magic, like getting something for nothing! But the fact of the matter is that the
holders of the money pay for the extra spending, as the extra money raises prices when it is injected into the economy.
Moreover, inflation indirectly yields extra revenue by automatically raising effective tax revenues, as income from the people
goes up to compensate for inflation, and people are consequently pushed into higher tax rate brackets.
Additionally, there is the benefit of paying off debt with less valuable currency less purchasing power as less valuable
units are paying for original units that were more valuable.
Reduction of Monetary Growth:
The cure for inflation is the reduction in the rate of monetary growth, as this is the cause of inflation. Eventually it is
a curable disease. Although the bad effects a temporarily lower economic growth, and higher unemployment would be felt
first, the good effects a lower to zero inflation would come later.
This would result in a healthier economy, with the potential for rapid noninflationary growth.
But as usual there is the lack of a true desire to cure the addiction of free money, resulting in this disease. In a sense people
enjoy inflation. Although they would like to see the prices of goods they buy go down, or at least stop going up, they are
more than happy to see the prices of the things they own or sell go up.
Inflation is Destructive:
One reason inflation is so destructive is because while some people benefit greatly, other people suffer. Society is divided
into winners and losers. The winners regard the good things that happen to them as the natural result of their own foresight,
prudence, and initiative.
They regard the bad things; the rise of prices of goods purchased, as caused by forces outside their control. Almost
everyone will say they are opposed to inflation. What they generally mean is that they are opposed to the bad things that
have happened to them due to certain effects of inflation.
The paper value of homes is rising. With a mortgage, the interest rate generally is below the rate of inflation. As a result of
this, inflation in effect is paying off the mortgage interest payments as well the principal. This effect is an advantage to the
home owner, as his equity in the house goes up rapidly. The flip side of the coin is that an interest rate below inflation results
in a loss for savers.
As inflation accelerates, rather sooner than later, it is causing so much damage to the fabric of society, by creating so much
injustice, and suffering.
The Side-Effects:
Everywhere one looks it is repeatedly published that unemployment and slow growth are cures for inflation; that all
alternativemeasures taken will result in more inflation or higher unemployment, which is nonsense. The truth is that slow
growth and high unemployment are not cures for inflation. They are the side-effects of a successful cure of a diseased
economy.
The general signal of increasing demand will be confused with the specific signals reflecting changes in relative demands.
That is why the initial side effect of faster monetary growth is the appearance of prosperity and greater employment.
When it is discovered that the rise in wages does not coincide with higher demand, the flaw in the system is discovered.
Wages and prices are higher not because of higher demand, but primarily to allow for the rises in the prices of goods they
buy.
Subsequently people are off on a price-wage spiral that itself effectively is inflation, and by no means the cause of it. If
monetary growth does not speed up faster, the initial stimulus to employment and output will be replaced by the opposite;
both will go down in response to the higher prices and wages.
By the way; governments can actually not create jobs, they can only steal from people and give it to others.
If it were politically profitable and feasible to generate a 10% inflation rate, the temptation would be great if inflation indeed
reached this level, to raise it to 11, or 12 or 15 %. Zero inflation is a politically feasible objective; 10% is not.
This is the verdict of experience. Nevertheless, central bankers create excessive quantities of money, as they tell us the
world needs more inflation to fight deflationary forces, which basically is nonsense as the deflationary forces are the result of
the increase of monetary supply.
The Best Solution to Create Inflation:
Moreover, if they want to create inflation, there is no need for excessive money printing. They can create inflation instantly
byraising the price of gold, which is the easiest way to create inflation.
A higher dollar price for gold is practically the definition of inflation. The Fed would just declare the price of gold to be, say,
$5,000 an ounce and make the price stick using the gold in Fort Knox assuming it is still there? Their printing press
would maintain a two-way market.
The Fed could sell gold when it hits $5,050 an ounce and buy gold when it hits $4,950 an ounce. Thats a 1% band around
the target price of $5,000 an ounce. The band and the use of physical gold would make the target price stick.
A higher price for gold is the same as a lower value for the dollar. The world of $5,000-per-ounce gold also means $10 per
gallon gas at the station and $40 for a movie ticket. Nothing happens without consequences.
Santa Claus Doesnt Exist:
Inflation, in contrast to what economic leaders lead us to believe, is not equivalent to Santa Claus. It cant bring gifts to
everyone. All it does is shift the benefits of the economy around. In the immortal words of President Obama: inflation
spreads the wealth around a little.
Inflation penalises wage earners, savers, and retirees to the benefit of asset owners. It benefits debtors at the expense of
creditors. Theres no net increase in the nations wealth. One group is merely taxed for the benefit of the other. This is sold
as a benefit to the country by governments. They have to sell it to the people because without inflation they wont be able to
pay their bills.
However, wealth cannot be created by a printing press. This will cause price inflation, asset inflation, credit collapse or a
mixture of all three. Everyone knows this. Nevertheless, our leaders pretend otherwise.
If credit is expanded in excess of savings, it historically always ends in a collapse. So there should be no surprise. When
creditors begin to ask the critical question: Can these debts really be financed? Will we get our savings back? If credit has
been expanded radically beyond savings, as is the case today in the developed world, the answer is always NO.
It is true that dramatic increases in the money supply eventually lead to inflation. But the key word here is eventually.
Sometimes it can take a while. The extent of the delay depends on general conditions, and a very important concept known
as monetary velocity.
Velocity of Money:
Inflation and deflation are not purely products of how much money is in the system. They are products of how fast this
moneyis moving through the system.
When banks are lending, businesses are borrowing, and consumers are spending, money changes hands quickly. Under
these conditions, the monetary velocity is high.
Conversely, when banks dont lend the money, businesses are hunkered down, and consumers are saving or paying down
debt, money does not change hands quickly. It moves slowly. If the economy grinds to a near halt, as is the case today,
eventually money stops changing hands completely.
Inflation is not purely from an increase in the money supply. Sufficient monetary velocity is required to spur a general and
persistent increase in the price of goods and services. Without velocity if money doesnt move through the system there
is no reason for prices to rise.
The point is that its not just about how many units are being printed. Its about where those units go and how fast they are
moving through the system. The end game may indeed be accelerating monetary velocity. The cumulative effect on the rise
in prices and a spectacular loss of faith in the system will result in a decline in the desire for owning dollars will plummet, and
that means hyperinflation.

Smoking Gun For Christchurch Killer Quake: Hillary Clinton Emails Show Advance
Warning Of Christchurch Earthquake
October 7 2016 | From: MediaWhores / TheContrail
Recently releases Hillary Clinton emails show US State Department advanced knowledge of the big
Christchurch Earthquake on 22nd February 2011. This appears to be proof that the killer
earthquake was a planned disaster "And on cue..."
The first email sent by the State Department to head of the department Hillary Clinton was sent a full 6 hours before
the actual quake hit. Washington being 18 hours behind NZST. The second email was sent as the quake hit.

On the presumption the emails are real this proves advanced knowledge by the US State Department of the Christchurch
Earthquakes.
Clinton Christchurch Earthquakes Emails Source, Wikileaks
Sources for these emails are being actively and aggressively blocked worldwide. It seems they even knew the size of the
quake: 6.3 a possible reference to the Freemasonic Kabbalah number 666. There is substantial evidence that the quake
was in fact much bigger than 6.3 magnitude.
Interestingly the US disaster relief team FEMA was also in Christchurch the week before the big earthquake, and they
flew out just hours before the earthquake hit leaving behind their head disaster coordinator

More Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man: "This Time, Theyre Coming For Your
Democracy"
October 7 2016 | From: ZeroHedge
Twelve years ago, John Perkins published his book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Today, he says things have just gotten so much worse.
Twelve years ago, John Perkins published his book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, and it rapidly rose
up The New York Times best-seller list.
Related: The Poisoned Chalice: From Eurozone to Dead Zone
In it, Perkins describes his career convincing heads of state to adopt economic policies that impoverished their countries
and undermined democratic institutions. These policies helped to enrich tiny, local elite groups while padding the pockets of
U.S.-based transnational corporations.
Perkins was recruited, he says, by the National Security Agency (NSA), but he worked for a private consulting company. His
job as an undertrained, overpaid economist was to generate reports that justified lucrative contracts for U.S. corporations,
while plunging vulnerable nations into debt.
Countries that didnt cooperate saw the screws tightened on their economies. In Chile, for example, President Richard
Nixon famously called on the CIA to make the economy scream to undermine the prospects of the democratically
elected president, Salvador Allende.
If economic pressure and threats didnt work, Perkins says, the jackals were called to either overthrow or assassinate the
noncompliant heads of state. That is, indeed, what happened to Allende, with the backing of the CIA.

Perkins book has been controversial, and some have disputed some of his claims, including, for example, that the NSA was
involved in activities beyond code making and breaking.
Perkins has just reissued his book with major updates. The basic premise of the book remains the same, but the update
shows how the economic hit man approach has evolved in the last 12 years.
Among other things, U.S. cities are now on the target list. The combination of debt, enforced austerity, underinvestment,
privatization, and the undermining of democratically elected governments is now happening here.
I couldnt help but think about Flint, Michigan, under emergency management as I read The New Confessions of an
Economic Hit Man.
I interviewed Perkins at his home in the Seattle area. In addition to being a recovering economic hit man, he is a grandfather
and a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, organizations that work for a world that
future generations will want to inherit.
Sarah van Gelder: Whats changed in our world since you wrote the first Confessions of an Economic Hit Man?
John Perkins: Things have just gotten so much worse in the last 12 years since the first Confessions was written.
Economic hit men and jackals have expanded tremendously, including the United States and Europe.
Back in my day we were pretty much limited to what we called the third world, or economically developing countries, but now
its everywhere.
And in fact, the cancer of the corporate empire has metastasized into what I would call a failed global death economy. This
is an economy thats based on destroying the very resources upon which it depends, and upon the military. Its become
totally global, and its a failure.
Related: Why Young Americans Are Giving Up on Capitalism
van Gelder: So how has this switched from us being the beneficiaries of this hit-man economy, perhaps in the past, to us
now being more of the victims of it?
Perkins: Its been interesting because, in the past, the economic hit man economy was being propagated in order to make
America wealthier and presumably to make people here better off, but as this whole process has expanded in the U.S. and
Europe, what weve seen is a tremendous growth in the very wealthy at the expense of everybody else.
On a global basis we now know that 62 individuals have as many assets as half the worlds population.
We of course in the U.S. have seen how our government is frozen, its just not working. Its controlled by the big
corporations and theyve really taken over. Theyve understood that the new market, the new resource, is the U.S. and
Europe, and the incredibly awful things that have happened to Greece and Ireland and Iceland, are now happening here in
the U.S.
Were seeing this situation where we can have what statistically shows economic growth, and at the same time increased
foreclosures on homes and unemployment.
van Gelder: Is this the same kind of dynamic about debt that leads to emergency managers who then turn over the reins of
the economy to private enterprises? The same thing that you are seeing in third-world countries?
Perkins: Yes, when I was an economic hit man, one of the things that we did, we raised these huge loans for these
countries, but the money never actually went to the countries, it went to our own corporations to build infrastructure in those
countries.
And when the countries could not pay off their debt, we insisted that they privatize their water systems, their sewage
systems, their electric systems.
Now were seeing that same thing happen in the United States. Flint, Michigan, is a very good example of that. This is not a
U.S. empire, its a corporate empire protected and supported by the U.S. military and the CIA. But it is not an American
empire, its not helping Americans. Its exploiting us in the same way that we used to exploit all these other countries around
the world.
van Gelder: So it seems like Americans are starting to get this. What is your sense about where the American public is in
terms of readiness to do something?
Perkins: As I travel around the U.S., as I travel around the world, I see that people are really waking up. Were getting it.
Were understanding that we live on a very fragile space station, and its got no shuttles; we cant get off. Weve got to fix it,
weve got to take care of it, and were in the process of destroying it.
The big corporations are destroying it, but the big corporations are just run by people, and theyre vulnerable to us. If we
really consider it, the market place is a democracy, if we just use it as such.
van Gelder: I want to push back on that one a little bit because so many corporations dont sell to ordinary consumers, they
sell to other companies or to governments, and so many corporations have such an entrenched reward system where if one
person doesnt perform by exploiting the earth theyll simply get replaced with somebody else who does.
Perkins: Ive recently been speaking at a number of corporate conferences. I hear time after time after time that many of
them want to leave a green legacy. Theyve got children, theyve got grandchildren, they understand we cant go on like this.
So what they say is;
Go out there, start consumer movements. What I want is to receive a hundred thousand emails from my
customers saying, Hey, I love your product but Im not going to buy it anymore until you pay your workers a fair
wage in Indonesia, or wherever, or clean up the environment, or do something.
And then I can take that to my board of directors and my big stockholders, to the people who really control whether
I get hired or fired.
van Gelder: I agree, and those campaigns, as you know, have been going on for decades now, and sometimes they have
little incremental changes around the edge. But then we look back on it later and we see that theres enormous resistance
because of the profits to be made in continuing the system.
Perkins: I think weve seen tremendous changes, though. Just in the last few years, weve seen organic foods become very
big. Twenty years ago they couldnt make a go of it. Weve seen women having bigger positions in corporations, and
minorities, and we need to get better at this.
Weve seen the labeling of many foods. GMOs arent included yet, but nutrition and calories and so forth are. And what we
really need to do is convince corporations that theyve got to have a new goal.
Weve got to let corporations know what their job is: Its to serve a public interest, and make a decent rate of return for
investors. We need investors, but beyond that, every corporation should serve a public interest, should serve the earth,
should serve future generations.
van Gelder: I want to ask you about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and other trade deals. Is there any way that we can beat
these things back so they dont continue supercharging the corporate sphere at the expense of local democracies?
Perkins: Theyre devastating; they give sovereignty to corporations over governments. Its ridiculous.
Were seeing terrible desperation from people in Central America trying to get away from a system thats broken, primarily
because our trade agreements and our policies toward Latin America have broken them.
And were seeing, of course, those similar things in the Middle East and in Africa, these waves of immigrants that are
swarming into Europe from the Middle East. These terrible problems that have been created because of the greed of big
corporations.
I was just in Central America and what we talk about in the U.S. as being an immigration problem is really a trade
agreement problem.
Theyre not allowed to impose tariffs under the trade agreements - NAFTA and CAFTA - but the U.S. is allowed to subsidize
its farmers. Those governments cant afford to subsidize their farmers. So our farmers can undercut theirs, and thats
destroyed the economies, and a number of other things, and thats why weve got immigration problems.
van Gelder: Can you talk about the violence that people are fleeing in Central America, and how that links back to the role
the U.S. has had there?
Perkins: Three or four years ago the CIA orchestrated a coup against the democratically elected president of Honduras,
President Zelaya, because he stood up to Dole and Chiquita and some other big, global, basically U.S.-based corporations.
He wanted to raise the minimum wage to a reasonable level, and he wanted some land reform that would make sure that his
own people were able to make money off their own land, rather than having big international corporations do it.
The big corporations couldnt stand for this. He wasnt assassinated but he was overthrown in a coup and sent to another
country, and replaced by a terribly brutal dictator, and today Honduras is one of the most violent, homicidal countries in the
hemisphere.
Its frightening what weve done. And when that happens to a president, it sends a message to every other president
throughout the hemisphere, and in fact throughout the world: Dont mess with us.
Dont mess with the big corporations. Either cooperate and get rich in the process, and have all your friends and family get
rich in the process, or go get overthrown or assassinated. Its a very strong message.
van Gelder: I wanted to ask about your time spent in Ecuador with indigenous people. Im wondering if you could talk about
how that experience has changed you?
Perkins: Many years ago when I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Amazon with the Shuar indigenous people there, I
was dying.
I got very ill, and my life was saved in one night by a shaman. Id come out of business school this is 1968, 69, and I had no
idea what a shaman was, but it changed my life by helping me understand that what was killing me was a mindset - what
they would call the dream.
I spent many years studying all this, and working with many different indigenous groups, and what I saw was the power of
the mindset.
The shamans teach us - the indigenous people teach us - once you change the mindset, then its pretty easy to have the
objective reality change around it. So, instead of the kind of economy we have now, a death economy, if we can change the
mindset we can very quickly move into a life economy.
van Gelder: So what are the mechanisms by which a change in consciousness actually shifts things on the ground?
Perkins: Well, in my opinion the biggest catalyst that needs to go forward to change this is weve got to change the
corporations. Weve got to move from that goal that was stated by Milton Friedman in the 1970s, that the only responsibility
of corporations is to maximize profits regardless of social and environmental costs.
We change the big corporations by telling them were not going to buy from you anymore unless you change your goal. No
longer should your goal be to maximize profits regardless of social and environmental costs. Make a decent rate of return for
your investors, but serve us, we the people, or were not buying from you.
van Gelder : You quote Tom Paine in your book: If there must be trouble let it be in my day that my child may have
peace. Why did you decide to use that quote?
Perkins : Well, I think Tom Paine was brilliant in that statement. He understood how that would impact people. And he wrote
that statement in December 1776.
Washington had lost just about every battle he ever fought; he wasnt getting any support from the Continental Congress;
they werent giving his men guns or ammunition or even blankets and shoes, and he was bogged down at Valley Forge.
Paine realizes that hes got to somehow write something that will rally people, and theres nothing that rallies people more
than to think about their children.
That to me is where were at right now. Ive got a daughter and Ive got an 8-year-old grandson. Bring on the trouble for me,
OK, but lets create a world theyre going to want to live in. And lets understand that my 8-year-old grandson cannot have
an environmentally sustainable and regenerative, socially just, fulfilling world unless every child on the planet has that.
And this is new. It used to be all we had to worry about was our local community, maybe our country. But we didnt have to
worry about the world. But what we know now is that we cant have peace anywhere in the world, we cant have peace in
the U.S., unless everybody has peace.
Why Capitalism Creates Useless Jobs

October 6 2016 | From: Strikemag
Ever had the feeling that your job might be made up? That the world would keep on turning if you
werent doing that thing you do 9-5? Anthropology professor and best selling author David
Graeber explored the phenomenon of bullshit jobs for our recent summer issue everyone whos
employed should read carefully
In the year 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted that technology would have advanced sufficiently by centurys
end that countries like Great Britain or the United States would achieve a 15-hour work week.
Theres every reason to believe he was right. In technological terms, we are quite capable of this. And yet it didnt happen.
Instead, technology has been marshaled, if anything, to figure out ways to make us all work more. In order to achieve this,
jobs have had to be created that are, effectively, pointless.
Huge swathes of people, in Europe and North America in particular, spend their entire working lives performing tasks they
secretly believe do not really need to be performed. The moral and spiritual damage that comes from this situation is
profound.
It is a scar across our collective soul. Yet virtually no one talks about it.
Why did Keynes promised utopia still being eagerly awaited in the 60s never materialise? The standard line today is
that he didnt figure in the massive increase in consumerism.
Given the choice between less hours and more toys and pleasures, weve collectively chosen the latter. This presents a nice
morality tale, but even a moments reflection shows it cant really be true.
Yes, we have witnessed the creation of an endless variety of new jobs and industries since the 20s, but very few have
anything to do with the production and distribution of sushi, iPhones, or fancy sneakers.
So what are these new jobs, precisely? A recent report comparing employment in the US between 1910 and 2000 gives us
a clear picture (and I note, one pretty much exactly echoed in the UK). Over the course of the last century, the number of
workers employed as domestic servants, in industry, and in the farm sector has collapsed dramatically.
At the same time, professional, managerial, clerical, sales, and service workers tripled, growing from one-quarter to three-
quarters of total employment. In other words, productive jobs have, just as predicted, been largely automated away (even if
you count industrial workers globally, including the toiling masses in India and China, such workers are still not nearly so
large a percentage of the world population as they used to be).
But rather than allowing a massive reduction of working hours to free the worlds population to pursue their own projects,
pleasures, visions, and ideas, we have seen the ballooning not even so much of the service sector as of the administrative
sector, up to and including the creation of whole new industries like financial services or telemarketing, or the
unprecedented expansion of sectors like corporate law, academic and health administration, human resources, and public
relations.
And these numbers do not even reflect on all those people whose job is to provide administrative, technical, or security
support for these industries, or for that matter the whole host of ancillary industries (dog-washers, all-night pizza
deliverymen) that only exist because everyone else is spending so much of their time working in all the other ones.
These are what I propose to call bullshit jobs.
Its as if someone were out there making up pointless jobs just for the sake of keeping us all working. And here,
precisely, lies the mystery.
In capitalism, this is exactly what is not supposed to happen. Sure, in the old inefficient socialist states like the Soviet Union,
where employment was considered both a right and a sacred duty, the system made up as many jobs as they had to (this is
why in Soviet department stores it took three clerks to sell a piece of meat).
But, of course, this is the very sort of problem market competition is supposed to fix. According to economic theory, at least,
the last thing a profit-seeking firm is going to do is shell out money to workers they dont really need to employ. Still,
somehow, it happens.
While corporations may engage in ruthless downsizing, the layoffs and speed-ups invariably fall on that class of
people who are actually making, moving, fixing and maintaining things; through some strange alchemy no one can
quite explain, the number of salaried paper-pushers ultimately seems to expand, and more and more employees
find themselves, not unlike Soviet workers actually, working 40 or even 50 hour weeks on paper, but effectively
working 15 hours just as Keynes predicted, since the rest of their time is spent organising or attending
motivational seminars, updating their facebook profiles or downloading TV box-sets.
The answer clearly isnt economic: its moral and political. The ruling class has figured out that a happy and
productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger (think of what started to happen when this
even began to be approximated in the 60s).
And, on the other hand, the feeling that work is a moral value in itself, and that anyone not willing to submit themselves to
some kind of intense work discipline for most of their waking hours deserves nothing, is extraordinarily convenient for them.
Once, when contemplating the apparently endless growth of administrative responsibilities in British academic departments,
I came up with one possible vision of hell. Hell is a collection of individuals who are spending the bulk of their time working
on a task they dont like and are not especially good at.
Say they were hired because they were excellent cabinet-makers, and then discover they are expected to spend a great
deal of their time frying fish. Neither does the task really need to be done at least, theres only a very limited number of fish
that need to be fried.
Yet somehow, they all become so obsessed with resentment at the thought that some of their co-workers might be spending
more time making cabinets, and not doing their fair share of the fish-frying responsibilities, that before long theres endless
piles of useless badly cooked fish piling up all over the workshop and its all that anyone really does.
I think this is actually a pretty accurate description of the moral dynamics of our own economy.
Now, I realise any such argument is going to run into immediate objections:
Who are you to say what jobs are really necessary? Whats necessary anyway? Youre an anthropology
professor, whats the need for that?
(And indeed a lot of tabloid readers would take the existence of my job as the very definition of wasteful social expenditure.)
And on one level, this is obviously true. There can be no objective measure of social value.
I would not presume to tell someone who is convinced they are making a meaningful contribution to the world that, really,
they are not. But what about those people who are themselves convinced their jobs are meaningless? Not long ago I got
back in touch with a school friend who I hadnt seen since I was 12.
I was amazed to discover that in the interim, he had become first a poet, then the front man in an indie rock band. Id heard
some of his songs on the radio having no idea the singer was someone I actually knew. He was obviously brilliant,
innovative, and his work had unquestionably brightened and improved the lives of people all over the world.
Yet, after a couple of unsuccessful albums, hed lost his contract, and plagued with debts and a newborn daughter, ended
up, as he put it, taking the default choice of so many directionless folk: law school.
Now hes a corporate lawyer working in a prominent New York firm. He was the first to admit that his job was utterly
meaningless, contributed nothing to the world, and, in his own estimation, should not really exist.
Theres a lot of questions one could ask here, starting with, what does it say about our society that it seems to generate an
extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians, but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law?
(Answer: if 1% of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call the market reflects
what they think is useful or important, not anybody else.)
But even more, it shows that most people in these jobs are ultimately aware of it. In fact, Im not sure Ive ever met a
corporate lawyer who didnt think their job was bullshit. The same goes for almost all the new industries outlined above.
There is a whole class of salaried professionals that, should you meet them at parties and admit that you do something that
might be considered interesting (an anthropologist, for example), will want to avoid even discussing their line of work
entirely.
Give them a few drinks, and they will launch into tirades about how pointless and stupid their job really is.
This is a profound psychological violence here. How can one even begin to speak of dignity in labour when one secretly
feels ones job should not exist? How can it not create a sense of deep rage and resentment.
Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way, as in the case of the fish-fryers, to ensure
that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work.
For instance: in our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously ones work benefits other people,
the less one is likely to be paid for it.
Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire
class of people to simply disappear?
Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, its obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of
smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic.
A world without teachers or dock-workers would soon be in trouble, and even one without science fiction writers or ska
musicians would clearly be a lesser place.
Its not entirely clear how humanity would suffer were all private equity CEOs, lobbyists, PR researchers, actuaries,
telemarketers, bailiffs or legal consultants to similarly vanish. (Many suspect it might markedly improve.)
Yet apart from a handful of well-touted exceptions (doctors), the rule holds surprisingly well.
Even more perverse, there seems to be a broad sense that this is the way things should be. This is one of the secret
strengths of right-wing populism.
You can see it when tabloids whip up resentment against tube workers for paralysing London during contract disputes: the
very fact that tube workers can paralyse London shows that their work is actually necessary, but this seems to be precisely
what annoys people.
Its even clearer in the US, where Republicans have had remarkable success mobilizing resentment against school
teachers, or auto workers (and not, significantly, against the school administrators or auto industry managers who actually
cause the problems) for their supposedly bloated wages and benefits.
Its as if they are being told but you get to teach children! Or make cars! You get to have real jobs! And on top of that you
have the nerve to also expect middle-class pensions and health care?
If someone had designed a work regime perfectly suited to maintaining the power of finance capital, its hard to see
how they could have done a better job.
Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited.
The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the universally reviled unemployed and a larger
stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives
and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc) and particularly its financial avatars but, at
the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value.
Clearly, the system was never consciously designed [actually you were right up until this statement]. It emerged from
almost a century of trial and error. But it is the only explanation for why, despite our technological capacities, we are not all
working 3-4 hour days.

Western Banks Crumble While Yuan Joins The IMF SDR Basket
October 5 2016 | From: Geopolitics
The gradual Global Reset continues with the official inclusion of the Chinese Yuan (RMB) as prime
alternative to the US dollar as global currency of exchange which should provide a smooth
transition away from fiat dollar.
While this SDR inclusion was preannounced months ago, still the multiple investigations of fraudulent bank
services, and the ongoing fall of the Big Banks suggest that the ongoing Global Reset will continue no matter the
geopolitical noise, which are all part of the hybrid World War 3 being fought against the outgoing Nazionist Word
Order.
Related: Bix Weir On Global Financial Collapse: Its Happening, Right on Time
When one considers the fact that the Chinese Yuan is backed with real, tangible hard assets, e.g. gold and industrial
infrastructure, it would be very easy to say that the US dollar is doomed as it should be since its integrity and real value are
nil at this point in time.
Yes, the Khazarian bankers cant hide it anymore. They have a problem, a very big one, and they want to pass it on to the
Western taxpayers, one more time.
Deutsche Bank Troubles Raise Fear of Global Shock
"Germanys largest bank appears in danger, sending stock markets worldwide on a wild ride. Yet the biggest
source of worry is less about its finances than a vast tangle of unknowns - not least, whether Europe can muster
the will to mount a rescue in the event of an emergency.
In short, fears that Europe lacks the cohesion to avoid a financial crisis may be enhancing the threat of one.
The immediate source of alarm is the health of Deutsche Bank, whose vast and sprawling operations, are
entangled with the fates of investment houses from Tokyo to London to New York.
Deutsche is staring at a multibillion-dollar fine from the Justice Department for its enthusiastic participation in Wall
Streets festival of toxic mortgage products in the years leading up to financial crisis of 2008.
Given Deutsches myriad other troubles - a role in the manipulation of a financial benchmark, claims of trades that
violated Russian sanctions and a generalized sense of confusion about its mission - the American pursuit of a stiff
penalty comes at an inopportune time.
It heightens the sense that Deutsche - whose shares have lost more than half their value this year - needs to
secure additional investment, lest it leave itself vulnerable to some new crisis."
- Deutsche Bank Troubles Raise Fear of Global Shock
Who will provide the additional investment if not the German people who will be forced to swallow a slew of legislated
austerity measures later on?
But the bigger problem for the Banking Canal is: Deutsche bank is just one domino in the entire fraudulent fractional banking
system that is visibly in turmoil, and it is expected to bring down the entire fiat financial system with it.

Why Deutsche Bank is Now the Biggest Worry in the Financial World
"Shares in Deutsche have lost more than half their value so far this year. The IMF hasnt helped matters, saying in
June that the bank is the greatest contributor to systemic risk in the worlds biggest lenders.
Q How is Deutsche Bank reacting?
A John Cryan, the Briton who became chief executive last summer, has set out a five-year restructuring plan that
will cut about 15,000 of Deutsches 101,000-strong workforce. Its dividend has been suspended for two years, and
Cryan expects to close dozens of overseas sites. It sold Abbey Life, its old portfolio of British life insurance
products, for euros 1billion on Wednesday.
Q What else can the bank do?
A Rumours surfaced over the summer of a possible merger between Deutsche and Commerzbank, its biggest
competitor, and more recently the idea of another multi-billion-euro rights issue has been floated. Again, these
reports have been played down by the bank.
Deutsche also has the option to switch off regular coupon payments on its coco bonds, providing a small amount
of breathing space. Analysts at Autonomous have also suggested that the bank could save euros 2.8billion by not
paying staff bonuses."

The bank said its decision to cut almost one in five of its employees worldwide and merge two of its largest
businesses will result in a 700m write-off and a loss for this quarter.
The banks Mittelstand division, seen as the engine room of Germanys mid-sized corporate economy, will be
combined with its corporate branch, while investment activity will be scaled back.
Commerzbank also warned that ongoing weakness in the shipping markets would push up its loan loss
provisions in the coming months. The bank decided four years ago to exit the ship financing business but still has
about 8bn on its books.
We simply dont earn enough money to lead the bank sustainably and successfully into the future. And this
situation will get worse if we dont do something about it, chief executive Martin Zielke said in a draft note to
employees, according to Reuters.
The bank will cease dividend payments for the time being, prompting analysts at RBC Capital Markets to scrap
their forecasts for payments until at least 2018."

"ING Groep NV, the largest Netherlands lender, will announce thousands of job cuts at its investor day on Monday,
Dutch newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad reported Friday, citing unidentified people with knowledge of the
matter.
The reorganization will result in more central management and may generate billions of euros in savings, the paper
said. Raymond Vermeulen, a spokesman for the Amsterdam-based bank, declined to comment on the report. The

Stanford Endowment Joins Long List of College Funds Doing Poorly
"The Stanford University endowment posted a 0.4 percent loss on its investments for fiscal 2016, underperforming
some large rivals but doing better than Harvard Universitys 2.0 percent loss. The median return for foundations
and endowments tracked by the Wilshire Trust Universe Comparison Service was negative 0.3 percent.
Harvard is the largest university endowment, with $35.7 billion in assets. Harvard president Drew Faust said the
disappointing investment return would constrain our budgets, according to the Harvard Crimson.
Harvard Management Co. is seeking a new chief executive after the departure this summer of Stephen Blyth after
a short, year-and-a-half stint. The endowment manager is under pressure to boost performance; Blyth had said it
needed to produce at least a 5 percent return annually to meet its obligations to Harvards annual operating
budget."

Reckoning Comes for U.S. Pension Funds as Investment Returns Lag
"The $1.9 trillion shortfall in U.S. state and local pension funds is poised to grow as near record-low bond yields
and global stock-market turmoil reduce investment gains, increasing pressure on governments to put more money
into the retirement systems.
With the Federal Reserve deciding to hold interest rates steady at its meeting Wednesday, the funds will continue
to be squeezed by rock-bottom payouts on fixed-income securities just as stocks fall overseas and post only
modest U.S. gains.
As a result, pensions in Illinois, Missouri and Hawaii this year have moved to roll back the assumed rate of return
on their investments, joining the dozens that have taken that step over the past two years.
Theres little light at the end of the tunnel as far as pension funding is concerned, said Vikram Rai, head of
municipal-bond strategy at Citigroup Inc. in New York.
I expect funded ratios will drop further. Itll require increased pension contributions on the part of the states and
local government, but most state and local governments dont have the ability to do so.

Surely, the complete Western financial collapse will just be a matter of time, and contrary to some assertions, its not
something that the Khazarian bankers are fretting much about.
They have already invested their loot in China, India and even in Russia. They have profited from every systemic shift which
have happened before.
But unlike before, they will now have a two-pronged approach which assures their continued occupation of the Halls of
Power in the West.
Aside from the simple transfer of financial assets to the winning side which they dont have full control of anymore, they will
also be using the event to install in the West what they have been eagerly egging on, and that is the full digitization of fiat
currencies, and the full integration of European human resources into their quantum supercomputer AI-based economic
system.
In order to effect this gigantic automated NWO plan, the United States has recently transferred its authority over the ICANN;
A nonprofit organization that is responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of several databases
related to the namespaces of the Internet thereby ensuring the networks stable and secure operation...
- to the United Nations, in addition to all measures already in the pipeline, e.g. drone squadron, surveillance mechanisms,
armed police, etc.
This march towards Technocratic Dictatorship will continue unless the people in the US and Europe will take a decisive
action against the PuppetMasters right in their own countries.
To make these regressive changes happen, the United Nations is already conditioning the minds of its subjects about the
3rd leg of the global financial crisis with prospect of epic debt defaults.

UN Fears Third Leg of the Global Financial Crisis With Prospect of Epic Debt Defaults
"The third leg of the worlds intractable depression is yet to come. If trade economists at the United Nations are
right, the next traumatic episode may entail the greatest debt jubilee in history.
It may also prove to be the definitive crisis of globalized capitalism, the demise of the liberal free-market
orthodoxies promoted for almost forty years by the Bretton Woods institutions, the OECD, and the Davos fraternity.
Alarm bells have been ringing over the explosion of corporate debt levels in emerging economies, which now
exceed $25 trillion. Damaging deflationary spirals cannot be ruled out, said the annual report of the UN
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
We know already that the poisonous side-effect of zero rates and quantitative easing in the US, Europe, and Japan
was to flood developing nations with cheap credit, upsetting their internal chemistry and drawing them into a snare.
What is less understood is just how destructive this has been.
Much of the money was wasted, skewed towards highly cyclical and rent-based sectors of limited strategic
importance for catching up, it said.
Worse yet, these countries have imported the deformities of western finance before they are ready to cope with the
consequences. This has undermined what UNCTAD calls the profit-investment nexus that ultimately drives
growth and prosperity.
The extraordinary result is that some countries are slipping backwards, victims of premature deindustrialisation.
Many of them have fallen further behind the rich world than they were in 1980 despite opening up their economies
and following the global policy script diligently.
The middle income trap closed in on Latin America and the non-oil states of the Middle East a long time ago, but
now it is beginning to close in such countries as Malaysia and Thailand, and in some respects China. The benefits
of a rushed integration into international financial markets post-2008 are fast evaporating, it said.
If policymakers fail to mitigate the negative impacts of unchecked global market forces, then a turn to protectionism
could trigger a vicious downward spiral for everyone.
What is clear is that world will soon need a massive and coordinated spending push by governments to create
demand and bring the broken global system back into equilibrium. UNCTAD is entirely right about that.
If this does not happen, it is sauve qui peut."
- UN Fears Third Leg of the GLobal Financial Crisis with Epic Debt
The key phrase of that article is the next traumatic episode may entail the greatest debt jubilee in history which may
sound good until we realize that they are just resetting the same old fiat debt-based slavery system because the derivative
bubble numbers are getting so large, it complicates the manipulations even more, much like they reset the calendar from
BCE to CE, or AD, to hide those countless genocides that their bloodlines have committed thousands of years ago.
At the same time, and in addition to simplifying the whole corrosive system, what these economic gurus are trying to project
is that economics and finance are so complicated, but the solution still lies within that same grossly defective monetary
system of controlling resources.
There can never be anything better than this debt slavery quicksand in spite of the existence of exotic technologies that
would render the whole economic system obsolete.
It must be known to all, that the progressive BRICS are not suppressing these same exotic technologies but are gradually
raising global awareness to the fact, as some Russian scientists have already announced the discovery of an industrial
method to produce any element, known and unknown, which runs counter to the economics of scarcity, at the press of a
button.
China, for its part, is already manufacturing and selling HHO kits to increase the fuel efficiency of existing internal
combustion engines, or eliminate the use of fossil fuels altogether.
A HHO system is basically a small device that uses electricity to release hydrogen based gas from water, called HHO, which is then directed into a
vehicles air intake system. The new air, is enriched with hydrogen now and it is highly explosive. This enriched air can now be mixed with less
fuel in order to achieve the same explosive inside the engine. This is basically how HHO kits save fuel.
The dense fog of highly distractive lies and deceptions is covering both sides of the Atlantic. But here in Asia, the options
are pretty clear, i.e. continued participation of the Globalist Empire, or the total separation through a parallel system of the
BRICS Alliances New Silk Roads, CIPS bank transfer system, and a separate internet backbone.
But just like the Syrian crisis, the ultimate solution to the Western financial crisis is the total defeat of the Khazarian Criminal
Syndicate which has full control of the Western governments, before the march towards global prosperity can commence in
earnest.
$40 Billion US In Aid To Israel: For Whom And For What? + Documentary Reveals How
Israel Convinces Americans: Palestine Occupies Israel
October 4 2016 | From: Sott / GlobalResearch / Various
Recently, the United States just renewed military aid to Israel in a decade-long, $38 billion deal -
the largest of its kind in American history.
It represents a significant increase in aid, roughly $3.8 billion a year - expected to be supplemented by additional
assistance through US Congress - up from $3 billion per year previously.
Related: Israel - A Nation Founded Upon A Monumental Lie
The Atlantic in an article titled, Why Does the United States Give So Much Money to Israel?, attempted to explain the
reasoning behind the otherwise unreasonable and unprecedented assistance by claiming:
Defenders of the deal would say it's necessary. Dalton described the uptick in spending as a natural extension of
the long-standing relationship between the United States and Israel, "as well as close ties between those countries
and their peoples."
She described the "fraught neighborhood" surrounding Israel: war-torn Syria to the northeast, Hezbollah-influenced
Lebanon to the north, and an Islamist insurgency in Egypt's Sinai to the south, all of which help explain the
historically high promise of $5 billion in missile funding over the next 10 years."
However, experienced geopolitical analysts will point out that the United States does not have "friends," "allies," or
"relationships" - only interests and those who serve them.
And while The Atlantic attempts to explain the deal as a means of maintaining a "relationship," it and other publications
admit that there are "strings attached." If examined carefully, these strings reveals just what interests this supposed
"relationship" serves.
Related: New IDF chief rabbi: Soldiers can rape Arab women to boost morale
CNBC would say just that in its article, Big US military aid package to Israel has strings attached, claiming:
...it's structured so that more Israeli defense spending goes to U.S. companies. Israel's long-standing special
arrangement for funds from the United States previously allowed Israel to spend 26 percent of the money in Israel -
on Israeli-made defense products. But that provision is being phased out over the first five years of the deal."
In other words, the ten year, $38 billion aid package is first and foremost welfare for US defense contractors, not
Israel whose own defense spending adds up to $16 billion per year - dwarfing annual US "aid." The deal is to encourage
further Israeli dependency on America - dependency that lends Washington further leverage over both Israel and the
region.
The purpose of aid and those who have arranged it on both the Israeli and American sides of the negotiating table is to
continue directing Israel's domestic and foreign policy to suit America's interests, not the Israeli people's.
An Israel at peace with its neighbors in a stable Middle East and North Africa is an Israel that negates the supposed
need of a US presence in the region. It also negates the need for such extravagant defense spending in both Israel and
the United States.
Related: $40 billion aid to Israel is largest ever to any country, says Susan Rice
CNBC would also reveal that the new assistance package would include provisions making it difficult for Israel to lobby
for additional spending unless war broke out.
Considering the track record of various Israeli regimes, does one suppose this is an incentive for Israel to avoid conflict,
or actively seek it out?
In every way the aid deal is meant to perpetuate unpopular regimes, unpopular and inhumane policies, as well as
perpetuate conflict and human misery.
The role the US plays in "stabilizing" the Middle East is revealed instead as a constant conspiracy to overturn it.
US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia - Trifecta of Conflict and Instability
The only other nation in the Middle East sowing as much conflict and instability as Israel's current regime is Saudi
Arabia. It has flooded Iraq and Syria with militant groups triggering years of devastating war as well as directly launched an
extensive air and ground war against neighboring Yemen.
Saudi Arabia - like Israel - is the recipient of extensive US backing. While the US made history by granting Israel
unprecedented foreign aid, it sealed with Saudi Arabia recently an equally historic and unprecedented weapons
deal amounting to some $60 billion - a single deal significantly larger than the 10 year aid package the US is providing
Israel.
Israel's Haaretz would report in its article, U.S. Announces $60b Arms Sale to Saudi Arabia, Says 'Israel Doesn't Object',
that:
The United States plans to sell up to $60 billion worth of military aircraft to Saudi Arabia, the U.S. State
Department announced on Wednesday in a move designed to shore up a region overshadowed by Iran.
Andrew Shapiro, the assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs, told a news conference the U.S.
administration did not anticipate any objections to the sale from Israel, traditionally wary of arms sales to nearby
Arab countries."
Indeed, Israel does not object to US weapon deals with Saudi Arabia. Despite feigned adversity between the two regimes,
the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia work in tandem toward a singular regional vision with very few points of
contention and with the common denominator being the way each nation's role enhances their joint sponsor - the United
States - and its hegemony over the region.
It is then not surprising to see US-funded Israeli forces defending Saudi subsidized terrorists on the Golan Heights
coordinating violence against Syrian forces throughout the destructive, ongoing Syrian conflict.
Unlike Saudi Arabia, which does not exist as a functioning legitimate nation-state beyond its petrodollars and its US-backed
military power, Israel does possess the economic infrastructure and human capital to transition into a functioning,
independent nation-state - if only its population can overcome the engineered strategy of tension that has ensnared it for
decades and the regime behind it.
The United States' $38 billion is to ensure that regime remains in power for another 10 years, the strategy of tension
continues to play out, and the Israeli people, as well as their neighbors are denied any opportunity to live in peace and move
forward in progress for another decade to come.
Rather than underwriting Israel's security for the next decade, the US is ensuring Israel struggles under another 10 years
of uncertainty, perpetually impending war, all while its regime continues to partner with neighboring regimes - including
Saudi Arabia and Turkey - to undermine regional stability and further threaten the future of the Israeli people and the
survival of the Israeli nation.
The Israeli regime's signing of yet another compromising, dependency-inducing aid package with the United States is proof
once again that Israel's own government constitutes the Israeli nation's worst enemy.

Documentary Reveals How Israel Convinces Americans: Palestine Occupies Israel
In this episode of Behind the Headline, host Mint Press Mnar Muhawesh meets Sut Jhally, an
expert on media manipulation and propaganda. In the film The Occupation of the American Mind,
Jhally and others examine how high-paid spin doctors control the media message on Israel.
Following the Holocaust, the world community - led by the United States and Britain - sought to create a European
Jewish-only state.
This humanitarian move, though, utterly failed in respecting the humanity of the lands indigenous inhabitants - Christian and
Muslim Palestinians.
Starting in December of 1947, their land and property was seized and destroyed to make way for the state of Israel, where
white only European Jews would live . Over 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 10,000 were killed by the British
and US armed Zionist militias, and later Israeli forces, during the Nakba, an Arabic word meaning catastrophe.
Those expelled by the Nakba and their Palestinian descendants who make up the worlds largest refugee population in the
world are not allowed to return to their land.
Yet a recent poll found that nearly half of Americans believe Palestine occupies Israel - not the other way around.
Thats because the mainstream, corporate-owned media continues to spin a propaganda wheel that dehumanizes
Palestinians and paints Israel as a beacon of democracy.

Meanwhile, special interest groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, buy their way into the
hearts and minds of our elected officials. Ever wonder why Israel gets $3 billion in annual military funding from Uncle Sam?
Connect the dots from the campaign contributions to the spending bills.
Theres a lot riding on our relationship with Israel: Apart from serving as a proxy for U.S. relations in the Middle East and
Africa, Israel is Americas second-top destination for arms exports. Yep - the countrys thats no bigger than the state of New
Jersey is basically a black check for the military-industrial complex.
But not all Americans are on board with the notion of Israel as the victim of Palestinian oppression.
Important: Gaza In Context
Another study showed that 62 percent of the population now believes Israel gets too much foreign aid, and the Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions movement has made waves across the world, imposing a kind of sanction against Israels
economy by targeting Israeli products.
A new documentary, The Occupation of the American Mind, brings attention to how Israels public relations campaign has
successfully manipulated the narrative of the Israel-Palestine conflict in that, its not a conflict at all but a matter of
modern-day colonialism, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
Today Im joined by Sut Jhally, executive producer of The Occupation of the American Mind and a professor of
communication at the University of Massachusetts. The film was produced, written and directed by Loretta Alper and Jeremy
Earp.
I asked Jhally to explain how Americans are being kept in the dark about Palestine, and how that prevents a mass
movement against Israeli apartheid from forming in the U.S.

October 3 2016 | From: Farouk
Currently the global Stock Market capitalization stands about USD 69 Trillion, with an average daily
turnover of around USD 190 Billion. The size of the international Bond Markets in outstanding
issues is USD 140 Trillion and with daily trading volumes around USD 700 Billion.
Global Currency Trading dwarfs Stock and Bond Markets with an estimated turnover of USD 5.3 Trillion DAILY. And
as this is essentially an unregulated market based on pair swaps (one currency swapped for another) it is
impossible to estimate actual annual turnover and market capitalization.
The global Derivatives Market is another unregulated financial hedge market with an essentially an unknown number of bets
being placed on any number of hedging situations associated with Stock, Bond, Commodity and/or Currency Market
conditions. Global Derivative market size estimates vary between USD 800 Trillion to over USD 4-6 Quadrillion in
outstanding bets most of which are backed by NOTHING.
And to all this can be added Commodity Exchanges, Credit Card Companies and interlocking International Corporations in
various major economic sectors.
All of these markets are simple gambling operations. They produce virtually nothing except BETS in poorly or un-regulated
markets dominated by Central Banks, major international banks, large hedge funds and trusts, pension funds and insurance
companies who automatically trade using computer algorithms and direct collusions between these main traders resulting in
price fixing scams.
There is no real Free Market Trading.
It is all rigged.
What would happen if all that daily traded money were to be spent on real productive development?
OH! I can hear the screams from Wall Street! WE NEED FREE TRADING MARKETS!
1,001 Excuses will come. Rats trying to save their sinking ship and their cushy jobs that produce nothing. Most of
these shysters have never run a productive business and cannot see beyond their adrenalin gambling addictions
and money playpens.
It is clear that the World is transitioning from the Debt Slavery Model to a newer paradigm of more equitable balancing of
financial wealth, particularly within the Middle Class populations that are the productive backbone of all economies.
This will result in a reduction of funds flowing into gambling markets and an increase in funding real projects that produce
real things.
We do not expect these global markets to close completely, except for Currency and Derivative Markets, but merely down-
size their trading activities by channeling funds to productive or new investment opportunities and because currencies will be
asset (GOLD) backed in accordance with the Paris Accords.
Stock Markets that have been FIAT INFLATED by Central Banks and the FED will have to fall as stocks and companies
they represent will fall back to historic and real value levels.
Related: The Fed's destabilizing, wealth-shifting policies amount to the biggest heist in human history
Expect 50+% drops in US, European and Japanese stocks as a direct result of real revaluation and a major decline in bank
liquidity to these markets resulting in margin calls and further downward pressures.
Bond markets will also fall because of the lack of market liquidity and corporate revaluations but will rebound with higher
interest rates. Underwriting for new issues will be difficult but due to a lack of new issues, those that do get underwritten will
enjoy higher margins and increased market demand. New Bonds may face a Sellers Market if they can find underwriters.
The derivatives market is, in a word, gigantic, often estimated at more that $1.2 quadrillion. Some market analysts estimate the derivatives market at
more than 10 times the size of the total world gross domestic product, or GDP. The reason the derivatives market is so large is because there are
numerous derivatives available on virtually every possible type of investment asset, including equities, commodities, bonds and foreign currency
exchange.
We do advocate closing down the Derivative Markets entirely as these produce only hedge bets currently far beyond the
Global GDP and thus are absolutely un-recoverable. This is clearly bringing down the Too Big To Bailout Banks like
Deutsche Bank who will collapse the entire derivatives market, not IF, but When it goes into receivership or financial
restructuring.
Similarly, Currency Markets will be totally unnecessary once a countrys currency is gold backed and issues are pegged to
that value or to the value of a single international reserve currency (International Trade Dollars issued by a new International
Central Clearing Bank).
Currency Pegging eliminates trading margins and the ability of major financial players from influencing currency price
movements. Gold and real asset backing together with internationally agreed currency revaluation rates essentially freezes
exchange rates.
What these financial market changes will do is to release TRILLIONS in capital investments into real development projects
globally.
This will sprout new industries in renewable and free energy, electric autonomous vehicles, vertical farming, sea ranching,
cities in the sea, and advances in AI and virtual reality networking. These and many more are known technologies that just
have yet to be fully financed. All that is about to change.
Generally through various financial redistribution programs and the Golden Dragon Familys gold backing of all currencies,
there will be a financial re-saturation of the Middle Class on a global basis.
Not everyone will be rich all of a sudden, but wealth dispersion at all lower levels will be gradually accomplished. Happy
Days ahead for most of humanity.
Happy Days will not be coming to many Governments though. These governments will be kicked out as they were
part of the primary cause for the raping of the middle classes through ever increasing taxation and over-spending.
The announcement of the US returning to its REPUBLiC roots will be the harbinger call for global political reform.

Neil Keenan is a very important pin prick in this Western Financial Fiat Bubble. His and his teams efforts to reclaim control
over the Global Collateral Accounts are fundamentally altering the Western Banking World by financially restructuring the
underlying assets that the Western Banking is based on.
Related: The Connection Between 9/11, JFK And The Global Collateral Accounts
Before the ink dried on the Bretton Woods Agreement, the Western Banksters were already stealing and illegally using
these account funds, legally negating and voiding the Agreement and any subsequently related agreements. The theft and
abuse of these GCAs is well documented, thus a day in Court can never be avoided (and that is coming soon).
Neils organizing the first BRICS boat trip has forever altered the financial World. A whole new financial structure has quickly
emerged that almost all the countries of the World have now signed onto the BRICS Group, AIIB and its secure financial
transfer network.
All countries are now well prepared for the gold backed RVs and GCRs that are to follow shortly.
Neil still has some unfinished business to attend to with officially taking charge of the Global Collateral Accounts (GCA).
That has been made much easier with the pending final ratification of the Paris Accords that now launches the global gold
and asset backed currencies, RVs and GCRs as this causes a mandatory compliance and the abandonment of issuing fiat
currencies.
Here is a primer on the BIS and the Central Banking system
The next step for Neil is to secure the GCAs which is basically a legal battle of house cleaning with the FED, Bank of
England, Bank of International Settlements, the top Swiss Banks and the rest of the European Banks and financial services
organizations that have been illegally and fraudulently feeding at this financial trough for the past 50-years.
If there has ever been a bigger ball of string to unwind, this one takes top spot.
Neils job is not to pull the financial underpinnings out from under the Western financial empire, but is more to place the
ownership of these financial institutions into the proper hands of those depositors whose money actually funded these
institutions through the GCAs.
This will most likely be some serious negotiations concerning transfers of ownership from those who illegally and fraudulent.
US Dollar Disaster Looms? China And Russian Currencies Break Away

October 2 2016 | From: TheDailyBell / Various
Russia leaves the Dollar based monetary system and adopts a system of Sovereign Currency.
The implications are phenomenal! In 1990 the first priority of Washington and the IMF was to pressure Yeltsin and
the Duma to privatize the State Bank of Russia, under a Constitutional amendment that mandated the new
Central Bank of Russia, like the Federal Reserve or European Central Bank, be a purely monetarist entity whose
only mandate is to control inflation and stabilize the Ruble. In effect, money creation in Russia was removed from
state sovereignty and tied to the US dollar.
Comment: Insiders report that the Cabal in the US is planning on dropping the US Dollar but before that they must
have control over much of the gold in the Global Collateral Accounts, however this is not going to be allowed to
happen.
2016: "The Stolypin club report advises to increase the investment, pumping up the economy with money from the state
budget and by the issue of the Bank of Russia. Putin decided to follow the Stolypin club advice as the new monetary policy
of the country.
Money is changing fast and the US dollar is going to crash.
Heres an excerpt from yet another recently published article (translated from the Russian) describing how the ruble may
now evolve (here).
We must nationalize the ruble. What does it mean? It means that we must separate the internal markets from the
external ones.
Thus, the first step for Russia is secession from the IMF and others similar institutions designed to keep the
entire world in bondage. The dollar noose must be cut.
Now the amount of printed rubles will not be determined by how many dollars we have but by the actual needs of
our economy.
We have absolutely no need in the central bank in its current form, but we do need a financial regular.
Under any regime, it was the Treasury that performed this function. Let it remain the same now regardless of the
official name. It may continue to be called the Central Bank. If the essence is changed, there is no need in
changing plaques."
Related: This Is How Much Liquidity Deutsche Bank Has At This Moment, And What Happens Next
You can also see an article (here) that goes into this issue more deeply and claims that Putin has in mind backing a portion
of the ruble with gold as well. (We should note there are claims the ruble is backed by gold already.)
The dramatic historical Russian currency changes (if these articles are accurate) seem a little difficult to discern in full at
this moment, but obviously things are changing fast. And they are changing for Chinas money as well. In fact, some have
speculated China and Russia could launch a joint, gold-backed currency (here, see bottom of article).
At the beginning of October, the yuan joins the IMFs SDR basket (here). This means that major international institutions can
issue bonds payable in yuan (actually RMB, the Chinese external currency).
IMF SDR Currency Basket as at: 1 October 2016
Source: IMF
Related: IMF Launches New SDR Basket Including Chinese Renminbi, Determines New Currency Amounts
And that is just what has happened already. The World Bank is issuing a large yuan/RMB tranche and this will be the first of
many (here).
Investors who want to place funds in RMB rather than dollars will use the new yuan/RMB-based instruments. The US will
continue to print dollars but those dollars may not find a home abroad so easily. Instead they may circulate back into the US
economy creating significant price inflation.
The US was able to do so much damage domestically and abroad because of its virtually unlimited spending power. Its
been able to prosecute endless, horrible wars and imprison up to five percent of its adult population at any one time.
Now things are changing. Between the Russian announcement and yuan/RMB convertibility, the US will gradually have
more trouble printing money at will. Perhaps the corrupt military-industrial complex will be impelled to shrink and large-scale
social programs like the wretched Obamacare will have more difficulty with funding as well.
We are well aware that the same banking influences that created the monstrous, modern state is ruining US and the West
generally in order to build up a more febrile internationalism.

banks like a raging firestorm
It seems natural, of course, as directed historyalways does. But it is not natural in the slightest. From what we can tell, it is
pre-planned.
Remember both the IMF and the World Bank are controlled by the US. And yet it is these two organizations that are
facilitating the rise of the yuan/RMB.
[Important Point: "Pre-planned" does not always mean by the Cabal, nor that if it was the Cabal who pre-planned it,
that it will go their way - as numerous insiders will attest.]
Also, please pay attention to how Russia will issue rubles into the economic system (from the same translated article we
quoted previously):
How can we calculate [how many rubles Russia needs]? In exactly the same way as the United States calculates
the amount of dollars needed for its economy. Just as the European Union does the same.
The best justification would be that from now on Russia issues rubles based on the value (in rubles) of all natural
resources explored on its territory. It is quite amusing that subsequent steps are no rocket science; they are
dictated by common sense itself. Since we are breaking down the disadvantageous system."
Putin may be taking a big step, but by circumventing his central bank (initially imposed by the West) he can be seen as
moving toward more state control of Russian currency.
And for years, we have debated heatedly with people like Ellen Brown (here) who believe that federal governments can do a
much better job of printing money than quasi-independent central banks. Good Lord! Whats wrong with a little monetary
freedom?
All Putin has to do if he wants a healthy currency is declare that the new ruble will be backed by gold and that its issuance
will be a private or regional matter.

Let a thousand gold mines bloom. Let the circulation of gold and its related paper notes travel up or down depending on
quantity and demand not the determinations of yet another shadowy, elite clique.
This is the way the US ran before the Civil War and created one of the worlds most prosperous and freest cultures. Those
in the US live yet on the dregs of that golden period.
But this is not well understood. As time goes on the often-illiterate alternative media may join in hosannas for Putins
upcoming currency shift. But, again, just because Russia will now control its currency instead of a central bank reporting to
the IMF, doesnt necessarily create a better system.
Of course, the argument will be made this sort of system is what Hitler installed in Nazi Germany in order to create the
German miracle of the 1930s (which we are supposedly not able to talk about). But that system might have destroyed itself
over time. Surely it would have.

To begin with, such systems may work very well. But since the money is being created by human deciders rather than the
competitive market, distortions are inevitable. Price-fixing, which is what it is, never works.
And while we are making the point that this newfound ruble freedom may not be so profound as advertised, let us note that
the advent of a currency war is being accompanied by military tension as well.
Conclusion: Whether such tensions are legitimate or dramatized is difficult to say. But given elite banking control of so
much around the world, we would not be surprised if we are simply being exposed to a gigantic performance of sorts
directed from the top down.Ironically, despite apparent setbacks, Londons City surely leads the way.

Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes For Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In
Donations
October 1 2016 | From: Propublica / Various
The neighborhood of Campeche sprawls up a steep hillside in Haitis capital city, Port-au-Prince.
Goats rustle in trash that goes forever uncollected. Children kick a deflated volleyball in a dusty lot
below a wall with a hand-painted logo of the American Red Cross.
In late 2011, the Red Cross launched a multimillion-dollar project to transform the desperately poor area, which was
hit hard by the earthquake that struck Haiti the year before. The main focus of the project called LAMIKA, an
acronym in Creole for A Better Life in My Neighborhood was building hundreds of permanent homes.

Today, not one home has been built in Campeche. Many residents live in shacks made of rusty sheet metal, without access
to drinkable water, electricity or basic sanitation. When it rains, their homes flood and residents bail out mud and water.
The Red Cross received an outpouring of donations after the quake, nearly half a billion dollars.
The group has publicly celebrated its work. But in fact, the Red Cross has repeatedly failed on the ground in Haiti.
Confidential memos, emails from worried top officers, and accounts of a dozen frustrated and disappointed insiders show the
charity has broken promises, squandered donations, and made dubious claims of success.
The Red Cross says it has provided homes to more than 130,000 people. But the actual number of permanent homes the
group has built in all of Haiti: six.
After the earthquake, Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern unveiled ambitious plans to develop brand-new communities. None
has ever been built.

Aid organizations from around the world have struggled after the earthquake in Haiti, the Western Hemispheres poorest
country. But ProPublica and NPRs investigation shows that many of the Red Crosss failings in Haiti are of its own making.
They are also part of a larger pattern in which the organization has botched delivery of aid after disasters such
as Superstorm Sandy. Despite its difficulties, the Red Cross remains the charity of choice for ordinary Americans and
corporations alike after natural disasters.
One issue that has hindered the Red Cross work in Haiti is an overreliance on foreigners who could not speak French or
Creole, current and former employees say.
Documents: Inside The Red Cross Haiti Failures
Confidential memo warns of failed results
Report on key project finds no contributions of any sort to the well being of households
Red Cross CEO emails about wonderful helicopter idea to spend money
In a blistering 2011 memo, the then-director of the Haiti program, Judith St. Fort, wrote that the group was failing in Haiti and
that senior managers had made very disturbing remarks disparaging Haitian employees. St. Fort, who is Haitian American,
wrote that the comments included, he is the only hard working one among them and the ones that we have hired are not
strong so we probably should not pay close attention to Haitian CVs.
The Red Cross wont disclose details of how it has spent the hundreds of millions of dollars donated for Haiti. But our
reporting shows that less money reached those in need than the Red Cross has said.
Where did the half billion raised for Haiti go? The Red Cross wont say.

Lacking the expertise to mount its own projects, the Red Cross ended up giving much of the money to other groups to do the
work. Those groups took out a piece of every dollar to cover overhead and management. Even on the projects done by
others, the Red Cross had its own significant expenses in one case, adding up to a third of the projects budget.
In statements, the Red Cross cited the challenges all groups have faced in post-quake Haiti, including the countrys
dysfunctional land title system.
Like many humanitarian organizations responding in Haiti, the American Red Cross met complications in relation
to government coordination delays, disputes over land ownership, delays at Haitian customs, challenges finding
qualified staff who were in short supply and high demand, and the cholera outbreak, among other challenges, the
charity said.
The group said it responded quickly to internal concerns, including hiring an expert to train staff on cultural competency after
St. Forts memo.
Minouche Lamour, a member of the Community Platform for Development in Campeche, says she doesn't see how millions of dollars from the Red
Cross could have been spent in her neighborhood
While the group wont provide a breakdown of its projects, the Red Cross said it has done more than 100. The projects
include repairing 4,000 homes, giving several thousand families temporary shelters, donating $44 million for food after the
earthquake, and helping fund the construction of a hospital.
"Millions of Haitians are safer, healthier, more resilient, and better prepared for future disasters thanks to generous
donations to the American Red Cross, McGovern wrote in a recent report marking the fifth anniversary of the
earthquake."
In other promotional materials, the Red Cross said it has helped more than 4.5 million individual Haitians get back on their
feet.
Oops. Busted - The Order of St. John; a secret society under deep cover - hidden in plain sight, a classic esoteric 'laughing at the goyim who are too
stupid to see' hallmark. Compare the St. John logo with the flag above. St. John is admittedly run by The Knights of Malta. Similarly, Red Cross has
it's origins in the esoteric and was influenced by John D Rockefe;ler. While the Freemasons are lees inclined to admit their stewardship directly.
Charities? Throw your money away if you like. It is quite well known nowadays that most of the money given to charity organisations never get's to
where it was intended. Those pulling the strings simply play on peoples good nature

It has not provided details to back up the claim. And Jean-Max Bellerive, Haitis prime minister at the time of the earthquake,
doubts the figure, pointing out the countrys entire population is only about 10 million.
"No, no, Bellerive said of the Red Cross claim, its not possible.
When the earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, the Red Cross was facing a crisis of its own. McGovern had become
chief executive just 18 months earlier, inheriting a deficit and an organization that had faced scandals after 9/11 and Katrina.
Gail McGovern
Inside the Red Cross, the Haiti disaster was seen as a spectacular fundraising opportunity, recalled one former official who
helped organize the effort. Michelle Obama, the NFL and a long list of celebrities appealed for donations to the group.
The Red Cross kept soliciting money well after it had enough for the emergency relief that is the groups stock in trade.
Doctors Without Borders, in contrast, stopped fundraising off the earthquake after it decided it had enough money. The
donations to the Red Cross helped the group erase its more-than $100 million deficit.
The Red Cross ultimately raised far more than any other charity.
A year after the quake, McGovern announced that the Red Cross would use the donations to make a lasting impact in Haiti.
We asked the Red Cross to show us around its projects in Haiti so we could see the results of its work. It declined. So earlier
this year we went to Campeche to see one of the groups signature projects for ourselves.
Street vendors in the dusty neighborhood immediately pointed us to Jean Jean Flaubert, the head of a community group that
the Red Cross set up as a local sounding board.
Sitting with us in their sparse one-room office, Flaubert and his colleagues grew angry talking about the Red Cross. They
pointed to the lack of progress in the neighborhood and the healthy salaries paid to expatriate aid workers.
"What the Red Cross told us is that they are coming here to change Campeche. Totally change it, said Flaubert.
Now I do not understand the change that they are talking about. I think the Red Cross is working for themselves.
The Red Cross initial plan said the focus would be building homes an internal proposal put the number at 700. Each
would have finished floors, toilets, showers, even rainwater collection systems. The houses were supposed to be finished in
January 2013.
The Red Cross promised to build hundreds of new homes in Campeche but none have been built. Many residents still live in
crude shacks. (Marie Arago, special to ProPublica)
None of that ever happened. Carline Noailles, who was the projects manager in Washington, said it was endlessly delayed
because the Red Cross didnt have the know-how.
Another former official who worked on the Campeche project said, Everything takes four times as long because it would be
micromanaged from DC, and they had no development experience.
Shown an English-language press release from the Red Cross website, Flaubert was stunned to learn of the projects $24
million budget and that it is due to end next year.
"Not only is [the Red Cross] not doing it, Flaubert said, now Im learning that the Red Cross is leaving next year. I
dont understand that.
(The Red Cross says it did tell community leaders about the end date. It also accused us of creating ill will in the community
which may give rise to a security incident.)
The project has since been reshaped and downscaled. A road is being built. Some existing homes have received earthquake
reinforcement and a few schools are being repaired. Some solar street lights have been installed, though many broke and
residents say others are unreliable.
The groups most recent press release on the project cites achievements such as training school children in disaster
response.
The Red Cross said it has to scale back its housing plans because it couldnt acquire the rights to land. No homes will be
built.
Other Red Cross infrastructure projects also fizzled.
In January 2011, McGovern announced a $30 million partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development, or
USAID. The agency would build roads and other infrastructure in at least two locations where the Red Cross would build new
homes.
But it took more than two and a half years, until August 2013, for the Red Cross just to sign an agreement with USAID on the
program, and even that was for only one site. The program was ultimately canceled because of a land dispute.
A Government Accountability Office report attributed the severe delays to problems in securing land title and because
of turnover in Red Cross leadership in its Haiti program.
Other groups also ran into trouble with land titles and other issues. But they also ultimately built 9,000 homes compared to
the Red Cross six.
Asked about the Red Cross housing projects in Haiti, David Meltzer, the groups general counsel and chief international
officer, said changing conditions forced changes in plans. If we had said, All were going to do is build new homes, wed still
be looking for land, he said.
The USAID projects collapse left the Red Cross grasping for ways to spend money earmarked for it.
"Any ideas on how to spend the rest of this?? (Besides the wonderful helicopter idea?), McGovern wrote to
Meltzer in a November 2013 email obtained by ProPublica and NPR.
Can we fund Conrads hospital? Or more to PiH[Partners in Health]? Any more shelter projects?
Jean Jean Flaubert says the Red Cross promised to transform his neighborhood. Now I do not understand the change that
they are talking about, he said. (Marie Arago, special to ProPublica)
Its not clear what helicopter idea McGovern was referring to or if it was ever carried out. The Red Cross would say only that
her comments were grounded in the American Red Cross strategy and priorities, which focus on health and housing.
Another signature project, known in Creole as A More Resilient Great North, is supposed to rehabilitate roads in poor, rural
communities and to help them get clean water and sanitation.
But two years after it started, the $13 million effort has been faltering badly. An internal evaluation from March found
residents were upset because nothing had been done to improve water access or infrastructure or to make contributions of
any sort to the well being of households, the report said.
The Red Cross says 91% of donations went to help Haitians. Thats not true.
So much bad feeling built up in one area that the population rejects the project.
Instead of making concrete improvements to living conditions, the Red Cross has launched hand-washing education
campaigns. The internal evaluation noted that these were not effective when people had no access to water and no soap.
(The Red Cross declined to comment on the project.)
The groups failures went beyond just infrastructure.
When a cholera epidemic raged through Haiti nine months after the quake, the biggest part of the Red Cross response
a plan to distribute soap and oral rehydration salts was crippled by internal issues that go unaddressed, wrote the
director of the Haiti program in her May 2011 memo.
Throughout that year, cholera was a steady killer. By September 2011, when the death toll had surpassed 6,000, the project
was still listed as very behind schedule according to another internal document.
The Red Cross said in a statement that its cholera response, including a vaccination campaign, has continued for years and
helped millions of Haitians.
But while other groups also struggled early responding to cholera, some performed well.
"None of these people had to die. Thats what upsets me, said Paul Christian Namphy, a Haitian water and
sanitation official who helped lead the effort to fight cholera. He says early failures by the Red Cross and other
NGOs had a devastating impact.
These numbers should have been zero.
So why did the Red Cross efforts fall so short? It wasnt just that Haiti is a hard place to work.
"They collected nearly half a billion dollars, said a congressional staffer who helped oversee Haiti reconstruction.
But they had a problem. And the problem was that they had absolutely no expertise.
Lee Malany was in charge of the Red Cross shelter program in Haiti starting in 2010.
He remembers a meeting in Washington that fall where officials did not seem to have any idea how to spend millions of
dollars set aside for housing. Malany says the officials wanted to know which projects would generate good publicity, not
which projects would provide the most homes.
"When I walked out of that meeting I looked at the people that I was working with and said, You know this is very
disconcerting, this is depressing, he recalled.
The Red Cross said in a statement its Haiti program has never put publicity over delivering aid.
Malany resigned the next year from his job in Haiti.
"I said theres no reason for me to stay here. I got on the plane and left.
Transitional shelters like these on the outskirts of Port-Au-Prince, paid for by the Red Cross, typically last three to five years.
Sometimes it wasnt a matter of expertise, but whether anybody was filling key jobs. An April 2012 organizational chart
obtained by ProPublica and NPR lists 9 of 30 leadership positions in Haiti as vacant, including slots for experts on health and
shelter.
The Red Cross said vacancies and turnover were inevitable because of the security situation, separation from family for
international staff, and the demanding nature of the work.
The constant upheaval took a toll. Internal documents refer to repeated attempts over years to finalize and complete a
strategic plan for the Haiti program, efforts that were delayed by changes in senior management. As late as March 2014,
more than four years into a six-year program, an internal update cites a revised strategy still awaiting final sign-off.
The Red Cross says it provided homes to more than 130,000 Haitians. But they didnt.
The Red Cross said settling on a plan early would have been a mistake. It would be hard to create the perfect plan from the
beginning in a complicated place like Haiti, it said. But we also need to begin, so we create plans that are continually
revised.
Those plans were further undermined by the Red Cross reliance on expats. Noailles, the Haitian development professional
who worked for the Red Cross on the Campeche project, said expat staffers struggled in meetings with local officials.
"Going to meetings with the community when you dont speak the language is not productive, she
said. "Sometimes, she recalled, expat staffers would skip such meetings altogether.
The Red Cross said it has made it a priority to hire Haitians despite lots of competition for local professionals, and that over
90 percent of its staff is Haitian. The charity said it used a local human resources firm to help.
Yet very few Haitians have made it into the groups top echelons in Haiti, according to five current and former Red Cross
staffers as well as staff lists obtained by ProPublica and NPR.
That not only affected the groups ability to work in Haiti, it was also expensive.

According to an internal Red Cross budgeting document for the project in Campeche, the project manager a position
reserved for an expatriate was entitled to allowances for housing, food and other expenses, home leave trips, R&R four
times a year, and relocation expenses. In all, it added up to $140,000.
Compensation for a senior Haitian engineer the top local position was less than one-third of that, $42,000 a year.
Shelim Dorval, a Haitian administrator who worked for the Red Cross coordinating travel and housing for expatriate staffers,
recalled thinking it was a waste to spend so much to bring in people with little knowledge of Haiti when locals were available.
"For each one of those expats, they were having high salaries, staying in a fancy house, and getting vacation trips
back to their countries, Dorval said.
A lot of money was spent on those people who were not Haitian, who had nothing to do with Haiti. The money
was just going back to the United States.
Soon after the earthquake, McGovern, the Red Cross CEO, said the group would make sure donors knew exactly what
happened to their money.
The Red Cross would lead the effort in transparency, she pledged. We are happy to share the way we are spending our
dollars.
That hasnt happened. The Red Cross public reports offer only broad categories about where $488 million in donations has
gone. The biggest category is shelter, at about $170 million. The others include health, emergency relief and disaster
preparedness.
After the earthquake, Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern unveiled plans to develop brand-new communities. None has ever been built.
It has declined repeated requests to disclose the specific projects, to explain how much money went to each or to say what
the results of each project were. There is reason to doubt the Red Cross claims that it helped 4.5 million Haitians.
An internal evaluation found that in some areas, the Red Cross
reported helping more people than even lived in the
communities.
In other cases, the figures were low, and in others double-

counting went uncorrected.
In describing its work, the Red Cross also conflates different

types of aid, making it more difficult to assess the charitys
efforts in Haiti.
For example, while the Red Cross says it provided more than
130,000 people with homes, that includes thousands of people
who were not actually given homes, but rather were trained in
proper construction techniques. (That was first reported by the
Haiti blog of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.)
The figure includes people who got short-term rental assistance

or were housed in several thousand transitional shelters,
which are temporary structures that can get eaten up by
termites or tip over in storms.
It also includes modest improvements on 5,000 temporary

shelters.The Red Cross also wont break down what
portion of donations went to overhead.
McGovern told CBS News a few months after the quake,

Minus the 9 cents overhead, 91 cents on the dollar will be
going to Haiti.
And I give you my word and my commitment, Im banking my

integrity, my own personal sense of integrity on that statement.
But the reality is that less money went to Haiti than 91 percent.
Thats because in addition to the Red Cross 9 percent

overhead, the other groups that got grants from the Red Cross
also have their own overhead.
In one case, the Red Cross sent $6 million to the International

Federation of the Red Cross for rental subsidies to help
Haitians leave tent camps.
The IFRC then took out 26 percent for overhead and what the
IFRC described as program-related administration, finance,
human resources and similar costs.
Beyond all that, the Red Cross also spends another piece of each dollar for what it describes as program costs incurred by
the American Red Cross in managing the projects done by other groups.
The American Red Cross management and other costs consumed an additional 24 percent of the money on one project,
according to the groups statements and internal documents. The actual work, upgrading shelters, was done by the Swiss
and Spanish Red Cross societies.
"Its a cycle of overhead, said Jonathan Katz, the Associated Press reporter in Haiti at the time of the earthquake
who tracked post-disaster spending for his book, The Big Truck That Went By.
It was always going to be the American Red Cross taking a 9 percent cut, re-granting to another group, which
would take out their cut.
Given the results produced by the Red Cross projects in Haiti, Bellerive, the former prime minister, said he has a hard time
fathoming whats happened to donors money.
"Five hundred million dollars in Haiti is a lot of money, he said. Im not a big mathematician, but I can make some
additions. I know more or less the cost of things. Unless you dont pay for the gasoline the same price I was
paying, unless you pay people 20 times what I was paying them, unless the cost of the house you built was five
times the cost I was paying, it doesnt add up for me.

Can Russia Learn From Brazils Fate? Cabal Meddling In South America
October 1 2016 | From: PaulCraigRoberts / NewEasternOutlook / Various
William Engdahl recently explained how Washington used the corrupt Brazilian elite, which
answers to Washington, to remove the duly elected President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, for
representing the Brazilian people rather than the interests of Washington [see follow up article
below].
Unable to see through the propaganda of unproven charges, Brazilians acquiesced in the removal of their
protector, thereby providing the world another example of the impotence of democracy.
Everyone should read Engdahls article. He reports that part of the attack on Rousseff stemmed from Brazils economic
problems deliberately created by US credit rating agencies as part of Washingtons attack to down grade Brazilian debt,
which set off an attack on the Brazilian currency.
Brazils financial openness made Brazil an easy target to attack. One might hope that Vladimir Putin would take note of the
cost of economic openness. Putin is a careful and thoughtful leader of Russia, but he is not an economist. He has
confidence in neoliberal Elvira Nabiulina, Washingtons choice to head the Russian central bank.
...
Note: The rest of Paul Craig Robert's article has not been republished here. Whilst he is a very smart man on many matters
the rest of this article demonstrates his fundmental lack of understanding of the central banking system. His belief that
Russia needs to rely upon it's central bank, while it is still under the unfluence of the Rothschild cabal - is woefully
misinformed.
He is right in the idea that any country would be better to rely on itself for financing itself - doing that by using a privately-
owned foreign central bank is insane - and how we have come to be in this mess in the first place. Mr. Roberts is not playing
the game with all of the pieces on this matter but you can read his full article here.
Washington Tries To Break BRICS Rape Of Brazil Begins
Washingtons regime change machinery has for the time being succeeded in removing an
important link in the alliance of large emerging nations by railroading through a Senate
impeachment of the duly elected President, Dilma Rousseff.
On August 31 her Vice President Michel Temer was sworn in as President. In his first speech as president, the
cynical Temer called for a government of national salvation, asking for the trust of the Brazilian people. He
indicated plans to reform, and has also signaled his intention to overhaul the pension system and labor laws, and
cut public spending, all themes beloved of Wall Street banks, of the International Monetary Fund and their
Washington Consensus.
Related: Brazilian Senate approves Rousseffs impeachment
Now after less than three weeks at the job, Temer has unveiled plans for wholesale privatization of Brazils crown
jewels, starting with oil. The planned Wall Street rape of Brazil is about to begin.
Its important to keep in mind that elected President Rousseff was not convicted or even formally charged with any
concrete act of corruption, even though the pro-oligarchy mainstream Brazil media, led by OGlobo Group of the
billionaire Roberto Irineu Marinho, ran a media defamation campaign creating the basis to railroad Rousseff into
formal impeachment before the Senate.
The shift took place after the opposition PMDB party of Temer on March 29 broke their coalition with Rousseffs Workers
Party, as accusations of Petrobras-linked corruption were made against Rousseff and former president Luiz Incio Lula da
Silva.
On August 31, 61 Senators voted to remove her while 20 voted against removal. The formal charge was manipulation of
the state budget before the 2014 elections to hide the size of the deficit.
She vehemently denies the charge.
Indeed, the Senate issued its own expert report that concluded there was:
"No indication of direct or indirect action by Dilma in any illegal budgetary maneuvers. According to the Associated
Press, Independent auditors hired by Brazils Senate said in a report released Monday that suspended President
Dilma Rousseff didnt engage in the creative accounting she was charged with at her impeachment trial.
Under an honest system that would have ended the impeachment then and there. Not in Brazil.
In effect, she was impeached for the dramatic decline in the Brazilian economy, a decline deliberately pushed along as US
credit rating agencies downgraded Brazilian debt, and international and mainstream Brazilian media kept the Petrobras
corruption allegations in the spotlight.
Importantly, the Senate did not ban her from office for 8 years as Washington had hoped, and she has promised an electoral
return. The Washington-steered Temer has until end of 2018 to deliver Brazil to Temers foreign masters before his term
legally ends.
Related: There Has Been A Coup In Brazil
Notably, Temer himself was accused of corruption in the Petrobras state oil company investigations. He reportedly asked
the then-head of the transportation unit of Petrleo Brasileiro SA in 2012 to arrange illegal campaign contributions to
Temers party which was running a Washington-backed campaign to oust Rousseffs Workers Party.
Then this June, only days into his serving as acting president, two of Temers own chosen ministers, including the Minister
of Transparency, were forced to resign in response to allegations that they sought to subvert the probe into massive graft
at Petrobras.
One of the two, Temers extremely close ally Romero Juc, was caught on tape plotting Dilmas impeachment as a way to
shut down the ongoing Petrobras corruption investigation, as well as indicating that Brazils military, the media, and the
courts were all participants in the impeachment plotting.
In brief, the removal of Dilma Rousseff and her Workers Party after 13 years in Brazils leadership was a new form of Color
Revolution from Washington, one we might call a judicial coup by corrupt judges and congressmen.
Of the 594 members of the Congress, as the Toronto Globe and Mail reported, 318 are under investigation or face charges
while their target, President Rousseff, herself faces no allegation of financial impropriety.
And the cabal moves in - Michel Temer
Related: Brazil: Rousseff ousted, VP assembles right-wing government
The day after the first Lower House impeachment vote in April, a leading member of Temers PSDP party, Senator Aloysio
Nunes, went to Washington, in a mission organized by former Bill Clinton Secretary of State Madeline Albrights lobbying
firm, Albright Stonebridge Group.
Nunes, as president of the Brazilian Senates Foreign Relations Committee, has repeatedly advocated that Brazil once
again move closer to an alliance with the US and UK.
Madeline Albright, a Director of the leading US think-tank, Council on Foreign Relations, is also chair of the prime US
Government Color Revolution NGO, the National Democratic Institute (NDI). Nothing fishy here, or? Nunes reportedly went
to Washington to rally backing for Temer and the unfolding judicial coup against Rousseff.
A key player from the side of Washington, Rousseffs de facto political executioner, was, once again, Vice President Joe
Biden, the Dick Cheney dirty operator-in-chief in the Obama Administration.
Bidens fateful Brazil trip
In May, 2013, US Vice President Joe Biden made a fateful visit to Brazil to meet with President Rousseff. In January 2011
Rousseff had succeeded her Workers Party mentor, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, or Lula, who constitutionally was limited to
two consecutive terms.
Related: New Political Earthquake in Brazil: Is It Now Time for Media Outlets to Call This a Coup?
Biden went to Brazil to discuss oil with the new President. Relations between Lula and Washington had chilled as Lula
backed Iran against US sanctions and came economically closer to China.
In late 2007 Petrobras had discovered what was estimated to be a mammoth new basin of high-quality oil on the Brazilian
Continental Shelf offshore in the Santos Basin.
In total the Brazil Continental Shelf could contain over 100 billion barrels of oil, transforming the country into a major world
oil and gas power, something Exxon and Chevron, the US oil giants wanted to control.

In 2009, according to leaked US diplomatic cables published by Wikileaks, the US Consulate in Rio wrote that Exxon and
Chevron were trying in vain to alter a law advanced by Rousseffs mentor and predecessor in her Brazilian Workers Party ,
President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva.
That 2009 law made the state-owned Petrobras chief operator of all offshore oil blocs. Washington and the US oil giants
were not at all pleased at losing control over potentially the largest new world oil discovery in decades.

Lula had not only pushed ExxonMobil and Chevron out of the controlling position in favor of the state-owned Petrobras, but
he also opened Brazilian oil exploration to the Chinese, since 2009 a core member of the BRICS developing nations with
Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.
In December, 2010 in one of his last acts as President, Lula oversaw signing of a deal between the Brazilian-Spanish
energy company Repsol and Chinas state-owned Sinopec. Sinopec formed a joint venture, Repsol Sinopec Brasil, investing
more than $7.1 billion towards Repsol Brazil.
Already in 2005 Lula had approved formation of Sinopec International Petroleum Service of Brazil Ltd as part of a new
strategic alliance between China and Brazil.
In 2012 in a joint exploration drilling, Repsol Sinopec Brasil, Norways Statoil and Petrobras made a major new discovery in
Po de Acar, the third in block BM-C-33, which includes the Seat and Gvea, the latter one of the worlds 10 largest
discoveries in 2011. USA and British oil majors were nowhere to be seen.
Bidens task was to sound out Lulas successor, Rousseff, about reversing that exclusion of US major oil companies in favor
of the Chinese. Biden also met with leading energy companies in Brazil including Petrobras.
Related: BRICS Should Prepare for 'Braxit': A Brazilian Exit
While little was publicly said, Rousseff refused to reverse the 2009 oil law in a way that would be suitable to Biden,
Washington and US oil majors. Days after Bidens visit came the Snowden NSA revelations that the US had also spied on
Rousseff and top officials of Petrobras.
She was livid and denounced the Obama Administration that September before the UN General Assembly for violating
international law. She cancelled a planned Washington visit in protest. After that, US-Brazil relations took a dive.
After his May 2013 talks with Rousseff, Biden clearly gave her the kiss of death.
Before Bidens May 2013 visit Dilma Rousseff had 70% of popularity rating. Less than two weeks after Biden left Brazil,
nationwide protests by a very well-organized group called Movimento Passe Livre, over a nominal 10 cent bus fare increase,
brought the country virtually to a halt and turned very violent.
The protests bore the hallmark of typical Color Revolution or Twitter social media destabilizations that seem to follow Biden
wherever he makes a presence. Within weeks Rousseffs popularity plummeted to 30%.
Washington had clearly sent a signal that Rousseff had to change course or face serious problems.

The Washington regime change machine, including its entire array of financial warfare operations ranging from a leaked
PwC audit of Petrobras to Wall Street credit rating agency Standard & Poors downgrade of Brazil public debt to junk in
September 2015, went into full action to remove Rousseff, a key backer of the BRICS New Development Bank and of an
independent national development strategy for Brazil.
Selling the Crown Jewels
The man who has now manipulated himself into the Presidency, the corrupt Michel Temer, worked as an informer for
Washington the entire time.
In documents released by Wikileaks, it was revealed that Temer was an informant to US intelligence since at least
2006, via telegrams to the US embassy in Brazil classified by the Embassy as sensitive and for official
use only.
Washingtons man in Brazil, Temer, has lost no time appeasing his patrons in Wall Street. Even as acting President this
May, Temer named Henrique Meirelles as Minister of Finance and Social Security.
Meirelles, a Harvard-educated former President of the Brazilian central bank, was President of BankBoston in the USA until
1999, and was with that bank in 1985 when it was found guilty of failing to report $1.2 billion in illegal cash transfers
with Swiss banks.
Meirelles is now overseeing the planned selloff of Brazils crown jewels to international investors, a move that is intended
to gravely undercut the power of the state in the economy.
Another of Temers key economic advisers is Paulo Leme, former IMF economist and now Goldman Sachs Managing
Director of Emerging Markets Research. Wall Street is in the middle of the Temer-led economic rape of Brazil.
On September 13, Temers government unveiled a massive privatization program with the cynically misleading comment,
"It is clear the public sector cannot move forward alone on these projects. We are counting on the private sector.
He omitted to say the private sector he meant were his patrons.
Temer unveiled plans that would complete the countrys largest privatization in decades. Conveniently, the process us to be
completed by end of 2018, just before Temers term must end.
The influential US-Brazil Business Council detailed the privatization list on its website. The US-Brazil Business
Council was founded forty years ago by Citigroup, Monsanto, Coca-Cola, Dow Chemicals and other US
multinationals.

Tenders for the first round of concessions will be issued before the end of this year. They will include privatization of four
airports and two port terminals, all auctioned in the first quarter of 2017.
Other concessions include five highways, one rail line, bidding on small oil blocks and a later round for large, mainly
offshore, oil development blocks. As well the government will sell selected assets currently controlled by its Minerals
Research Department plus six electric power distributors and three water treatment facilities.
The heart of his planned privatization are, not surprisingly, Joe Bidens coveted state oil and gas companies along with
chunks of the state Eletrobrs power company. Temer plans to get as much as $24 billion from the selloff. Fully $11 billion
of the total are to come from sale of key oil and gas state holdings.
Related: Defiant Rousseff says Brazil's democracy on trial with her
Of course, when state assets such as huge oil and gas resources are sold off to foreign interests in what will clearly be a
distress sale, it is a one-off deal.
State oil and gas or electric power projects generate a continuing revenue stream many times any one-off
privatization gains. Brazils economy is the ultimate loser in such privatization. Wall Street banks and multinationals are of
course, as planned, the winner.
On September 19-21, according to the US-Brazil Business Council website, the Brazilian governments key ministers for
infrastructure including Minister Moreira Franco; Minister Fernando Bezerra Coelho Filho, Minister of Mines and Energy; and
Minister Mauricio Quintella Lessa, Minister of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation, will be in New York City to meet with Wall
Street infrastructure investors.
This is Washingtons way, the way of the Wall Street Gods of Money, as I title one of my books. First, destroy any
national leadership intent on genuine national development such as Dilma Rousseff.
Replace them with a vassal regime willing to do anything for money, including selling the crown jewels of their own
nation as people like Anatoli Chubais did in Russia in the 1990s under Boris Yeltsins shock therapy.
As reward for his behavior, Chubais today sits on the advisory board of JP MorganChase. What will Temer and associates
get for their efforts remains to be seen. Washington for now has broken one of the BRICS that ultimately threaten her global
hegemony. It is not likely to bring any lasting success if recent history is any guide.

The War On Reality: How Globalists Occupy Your Mind To Control Everything
September 26 2016 | From: TheHealthRanger
There is a war going on for reality and the battlefield for that war is your consciousness.
Almost everything you see going on in society or frm official sources is fabricated or rigged. It's fictional. It's all
designed to weave this artifical tapestry of beliefs and ideas and truths in your mind that actually are not true. They
are not based on reality.
The point of this it to create a prison for your mind that gives you the illusion of thinking you have freedome of thought,
freedom of choice or that you live in a democracy when in reality thie entire system around you is all fabricated to force you
into making certain decisions or taking certain actions or avoiding certain actions, all of which further the desires and the
consolidation of power of the totalitarian regime in power...
Crash Predictor Ann Pettifor: 'We're No Longer Citizens, We're Customers'

September 24 2016 | From: RadioNewZealand
One of the few analysts to correctly predict the 2008 global financial crash says we need to start
worrying about the economic attempts to turn citizens into consumers.
UK economist Ann Pettifor was also one of the leaders of the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign that successfully pushed
to cancel $100 billion worth of debt owed by some of the world's poorest nations.
Ms Pettifor, the director of left-wing economic think tank Policy Research in Macroeconomics, has been in New Zealand to
deliver public lectures on the current state of the financial world.
Speaking to Nine to Noon today, she said many of the current issues facing the world came from attempts by economists
and the finance sector to 'marketise' society and to "turn us all into customers for everything".
"We're no longer citizens, we're no longer workers, we're customers, all along the line. And all of our relationships
must, they argue, be marketised.
They're also turning us into 'rentiers', so when we rent out our house as part of Airbnb, or we rent out our car as
part of Uber, we are learning that with the ownership of an asset, it becomes possible, almost effortlessly, to earn
rent."
She said the global economy was increasingly about earning rent from money, property and any other assets people owned.
"We are using up everything we have to earn a bit more money, and that is partly because the way the system is
geared, and those who do have assets are able to earn rent on those assets, whether it's interest rates or
whatever, and those without assets are poor, and those people are cross, they are very cross."
Ms Pettifor said people were feeling increasingly desperate due to low wages and salaries.
"I'm not against people using Airbnb, and I understand why they are doing it, and the reason they are doing it is
because they are getting poorer, because they cannot live on their existing income, because we don't pay wages
or salaries that allow people to live a decent life. So they have to supplement that, with all of these additional
marginal activities.
That's what's wrong with the way we have allowed the markets to take control of our economies and for the
invisible hand to decide who gets what, is those who are left behind - and the left-behinders voted for Brexit, the
left-behinders are voting for Trump, and they're voting for Le Pen, the fascist in France - we need to worry about
that."

Currently, this One World Corporatocracy uses the United States and the European Union to consolidate and wield power
over the entire globe. But there are vulnerabilities in the world of Wall Street Globalism. The EU appears to be
disintegrating.
The ECB (European Central Bank) under the ex-Goldman Sachs VP Mario Draghi seems to be as suicidal as His Japanese
counterpart. And America is stretched thin by its constant warfare. Russia Today said the US had military operations in 134
countries in 2014.
Wikileaks, Snowden and others have revealed way more truth than the public can digest.
The US has been funding Al Qaeda and ISIS. And now Putin has shown his superiority by being able to actually
find ISIS and bomb them into oblivion.
The only economic and military advantage America had is about to disappear. Dr Michael Hudson wrote Super Imperialism
in 1972. That was the year after Nixon closed the Gold Window on August 15, 1971 and the year before Henry Kissingers
invention of the Petrodollar in 1973 after the Arab-Israeli war.
Hudson went to the Pentagon and the State Department in 1972 to explain that the US was making nations overseas pay
for their occupation by American troops by accepting worthless Federal Reserve Notes in exchange for real goods and
services.
When an American general finally understood what Dr Hudson was saying about foreigners paying for their own occupation,
he exclaimed, Were ripping people off.
The days when The Federal Reserve could print stacks of dollars to the moon and the Saudis could fund the US budget
deficit with their oil revenues are rapidly coming to an end. Very soon American politicians will have to recognize that we can
no longer afford all of those wars and forget about over 700 military bases overseas.
The American consumer will have to deal with the doubling of the price of imported goods. Of course that will mean a drastic
drop in the American standard of living which will lead to instability at home. This cold light of economic reality will force
America to either start WW III or go home.
Most sane people would like to avoid either a thermonuclear war with Russia or a conventional one as they have far
superior weapons. American politicians and the Pentagon spent $400 billion on the F-35 which does not work. Russia is too
poor to spend trillions of dollars on failed projects so the Elite can line their pockets at our expense.
What would be nice is for American voters to join with the citizens of Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Mideast in
their revolt against Globalism. That is to say the workers of the world unite to end Global Occupation by Bankers.
The following describes an eleven point program to undo what has been done to us by design. But first I need to explain
what causes Depressions.
Related: Motives for the Conspiracy
Ask your friends what a Depression is. Most answers will describe the effects, such as, unemployment, starvation and
bankruptcies. Depressions are solved by cancellation of debts either through discharge in bankruptcy court or by inflation
devaluing the real value of the burden of debt.
The third alternative would be for the government to void Unpayable Debts as the Kings of ancient Babylon and Sumer did.
We would need to devise a more sophisticated plan as those were relatively simpler agricultural societies.
I would like to make 11 suggestions which can both end a Depression and take down our Banker
Occupied governments:
1) Offer $25,000 in debt cancellation to every adult US citizen who is not institutionalized. This should be an
international effort so people in foreign countries will get equivalent amounts in pounds, euros and other local currencies.
This is to be financed by seizing the assets of financial war criminals that were stashed in Liechtenstein, the Cayman Islands
and other such offshore money laundering centers.
We need to get the assets of the private banks and the account numbers of all the corporations and the trusts the criminals
who declared war against us.
2) Seize all the assets of war criminals. A lot of assets have been converted into real estate. In America we also have
problems with mortgages. To evade taxes and to intentionally create clouded titles to homes the war criminals created the
Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS). I would suggest that MERS be made illegal and require all mortgages be
registered at reduced rates at the local county courthouse. I would give everyone 90 days to register for a clear title.
I would also challenge the title to every property to show that it did not belong to a corporation or trust fund owned by a war
criminal. For example, if a shopping mall is owned by a corporation, the actual people who own the shares must identify
themselves.
The World Bank did a study of 213 banking scandals and found that 150 were traced bank to offshore trusts linked either to
drug cartels or to the 30 or so families whose wealth has been fully invested in slave trading, drug smuggling and other
crimes against humanity for centuries.
All of these assets need to be seized so we can cancel debts and get the economy moving again. We also need to take
away their assets not just because they were stolen from us but to reduce their ability to wage war against us to zero.
We can take the seized real estate and use it to fund Social Security and stolen pension funds.
The seized stock and bond assets should also be used to fund public and private pensions and to cancel government debts.
I would also use the tens of trillions of dollars in government agency assets listed at www.CAFR1.com to cancel debts and
fund pensions.
3) All federal, sate and local government debt should be made illegal. President Lincoln (and Kennedy (both
assassinated)) issued Greenbacks which bore no interest. Greenbacks eliminated the need for bonds to be issued.
4) I would issue a non-interest bearing currency in America and require the same of any foreign country that
would want our assistance to cancel their government and personal debts.
It was the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 that allowed bankers to create money out of nothing and charge us interest.
That interest was designed to transfer all wealth from us to the bankers. It created Unpayable Debts which grow at
exponential rates due to the law of compound interest.
Since prices are a ratio of the Money Supply to goods and services for sale, if we increase both at the same rate, we would
have price stability. We could at current rates spend 535 billion dollars a year into circulation. We could create 535 billion
dollars and spend it without raising taxes to pay for it. If we increased the GDP and the Money Supply to twice our current
levels, then we could spend a trillion dollars a year into circulation while maintaining stable prices.

5) I would spend 200 billion dollars a year to repair Americas infrastructure. We have spent too much money on
foreign wars so our infrastructure is collapsing.
I would divide up 100 billion dollars a year amongst the 50 states on a proportional basis so a state with 2% of the US
population would get 2 billion dollars to spend on bridges, roads, dams, levees, water purification plants, sewers and school
buildings. This would be matched by another 100 billion dollars in federal infrastructure repair.
6) I would make pensions illegal. A pension is a promise to pay you something in 20 or 30 years. These pension funds
currently attract maggots seeking to feed on your retirement funds. I would pass a law saying that your employer must pay
you this year for any money that was intended to be set aside for your retirement. This money would go into a retirement
account in your name at a local cooperative trust. Neither politicians nor anyone from Wall Street should ever be allowed to
touch your retirement funds.
7) Use those cooperative trusts to overpower Wall Street and the City of London. Allow them to offer low interest
credit cards and consumer loans.
Let them issue simple life, fire and auto insurance. Plow the profits back into retirement funds. Commercial banks would be
geared to small businesses.
8) To boost the economy release all of the secret government technology to new corporations that would receive
the patents and a 5 billion dollar grant to bring cheap and abundant energy and other advances onto the market. If
needed, they could trade patent rights for regions overseas in exchange for the machinery needed to produce products in
America.
Shares should be issued to American citizens who are over 35. If a stock valued at $50 splits 6 times in 20 years, then it will
be worth $3,200 and ten original shares would be valued at $32,000. They will need the extra growth in their stock portfolio
more than couples 18 to 30 who have longer growth curves and can expect to retire with a million dollars in stocks.
Young people would no longer contribute to Social Security. Their employer would pay into their retirement account at their
cooperative trust but they would pay nothing to Social Security.
If a married couple making no more than the minimum wage were able to set aside everything they paid into Social Security
into a mutual fund, they would retire at age 65 with a million dollars. That had to be said for the benefit of those who do not
understand money and compound growth.
9) Make fractional reserve banking illegal. In 1348 the people of Venice were on a gold standard. If you deposited one
gold coin, the banker could loan 50 certificates said to be equal to 50 gold coins. The banker was allowed to collect interest
on that paper note as if it were 50 gold coins.
This system collapsed even though the people had a gold standard. Bankers pay people to spread false doctrines about the
gold standard. The bankers have stolen most of the gold and would love a return to the gold standard. But to function as
money the medium of exchange must be plentiful enough so everyone can buy and sell.
The only way a gold standard could work is if we allowed bankers to loan out 100 or more paper certificates in exchange for
each gold coin. That would impoverish us with interest payments on money the Bankers created out of nothing. Sound
familiar?

10) Make property taxes on a primary residence illegal. A home should be one of the primary savings plans for
retirement. Taxing homes harms taxpayers. It should no longer be the policy of the government to do harm to us.
Property tax revenues would be more than balanced by the cancellation of state and local debts and 200 billion dollars a
year in federal capital grants. And all those new infrastructure workers will be paying taxes.
11) Establish an incomes policy. My goal is self-determination for the working class. The current government is
bankrupting small businesses and the middle class while encouraging welfare dependency.
I would make the first $30,000 a year on a single person or $60,000 for a married couples tax free. I would give the custodial
parent $600 a month for the first child and $400 a month for the second child. Nothing for additional children except in cases
of twins and triplets.
I would also change the name of the IRS to Internal Revenue and Benefits Services. I would also take away their armed
agents and their police powers. A separate police force would be responsible for arresting tax cheats. The IRS has killed too
many innocent Americans for them to survive without a serious overhaul.
I would also pass a negative income tax. Under this system a person making $8.50 an hour would be paid $1.50 an
additional hour by the employer from federal sources. Under this plan a married couple both working 40 hours a week would
earn a guaranteed $40,160 a year tax free. If they had 2 children, they would receive $1,000 a month or $12,000 a year for
a total of $52,160 tax free.
I would pay for this in part by ending the wars and the surveillance state. Someone said we spent 7 trillion dollars on wars
we did not need after we allowed Israel to blow up the World Trade Center. I also would no longer allow bankers to steal 3
billion or more dollars a week from unaudited federal spending.
We should also eliminate a lot of federal, state and local jobs and even entire departments. We currently have 30 million
federal, state and local government workers if you count contractors.
I would eliminate most tax deductions. I would trade your interest rate deduction on a home mortgage for the elimination of
property taxes on a principal residence. And I would trade your tax exemptions for children by paying you $12,000 a year for
the first two children.
Eliminating tax deductions would pay for a greater part of the reforms we need. Any deduction that gives you a thousand
dollars gives others $100,000 in tax breaks.
An oil man once paid $17.95 in federal income tax on an income of $75,000,000. That was when tax rates were higher but
deductions still shifted the burden to the middle class. By giving married couples $12,000 for children, we will make the flat
rate tax fair for the middle class.
We need strong middle and working classes to counter the power of Wall Street. By creating our own currency and making
home ownership more affordable and getting control of our retirement funds and savings in co-operative trusts, we will
guarantee that the Elite stop all this nonsensical talk of killing a few billion of the common people.

But so far, the biggest geopolitical event this year is the epic expressed rejection of US interference in the ASEAN-China
region.

Xi officially denied Obama the luxury of insulting Asia right on its doorsteps. The phrase This is our country. This is our

China positively responded to the ASEAN Communitys establishment of a well-defined Code of Conduct in the West
Philippine Sea to avoid miscommunications in the area, and all parties have agreed that the best way to find resolution in

cooperation, and the sharing of natural resources in these contested areas, as it had been done for thousands of years prior
to Westerns divide and conquer intervention.
The straight talking Duterte complemented the whole covert and not-so-covert anti-Khazarian advances in the region by
directly confronting Obama and Ba Ki Moon during the East Asian Summit, with photos of human rights violation against
600,000 Muslim Moro, 6,000 of whom were massacred and buried in a common pit, at the turn of the 20th century, which is
the root cause of the secessionist movements in Southern Philippines.
Obama and Ban Ki Moon were caught off guard and the two found themselves out of ammunition to respond accordingly.
Heres the mainstream media summary of the event:
All headline hugging Duterte tirades prior to the ASEAN Summit 2016 were meant to underscore the fact that the
Philippines is no longer a US vassal state.
To Dutertes credit, Indonesia is buying up weapons after its Police Anti-Narcotics Chief Budi Waseso announced that the
largest Muslim country in the region will duplicate Dutertes methods of dealing with drug trafficking.
Duterte has just visited Indonesia in order to discuss the two countries coordination in the field of economics and terrorism.
Both countries share a border where CIA-ISIS affiliated Abu Sayyaf is operating.
Here in the Philippines, it is our understanding that the Chinese government will eventually abide by the UNCLOS arbitral
ruling in the future when the subject is already properly explained to its people, and if the Philippines maintains its
independence from the US beyond Dutertes presidency.
Ironically, China is a signatory to the UNCLOS, but not the perennial conflict instigator known as the United States.
All of these great milestones occurred while Americans were busy watching the Kardashians.
The official declaration of the Fall of the US Empire has been held in the peace loving countries of Asia.

Global Financial Meltdown - One Of The Best Financial Crisis Documentary Films
September 17 2016 | From: RebelMystic
Meltdown is a four-part investigation into a world of greed and recklessness that brought down the
financial world. The show begins with the 2008 crash that pushed 30 million people into
unemployment, brought countries to the edge of insolvency and turned the clock back to 1929.
It's a bloody good watch and goes into specific detail as to how the house of cards was built and
subsequently fell.
Caveat Emptor.
But how did it all go so wrong? Lack of government regulation; easy lending in the US housing market meant
anyone could qualify for a home loan with no government regulations in place. Also, London was competing with
New York as the banking capital of the world. Gordon Brown, the British finance minister at the time, introduced
"light touch regulation" - giving bankers a free hand in the marketplace.

Meltdown moves on to examine the epidemic of fear that caused the world's banks to stop lending and how the people
began their fight back. Finally, it asks how the world can prepare for the next crisis even as it recognises that this one is far
from over.
We hear about the sheikh who says the crash never happened; a Wall Street king charged with fraud; a congresswoman

We Are The Death Merchant Of The World: Ex-Bush Official Lawrence Wilkerson
Condemns Military-Industrial Complex
September 14 2016 | From: Salon / Various
The military-industrial complex "is much more pernicious than Eisenhower ever thought," says the
retired US colonel.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson is tired of the corporate interests that we go abroad to slay monsters for.

Research Report
As the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, Wilkerson played an important role in the George W. Bush
administration. In the years since, however, the former Bush official has established himself as a prominent critic of U.S.
foreign policy.
I think Smedley Butler was onto something, explained Lawrence Wilkerson, in an extended interview with Salon.
In his day, in the early 20th century, Butler was the highest ranked and most honored official in the history of the U.S. Marine
Corps. He helped lead wars throughout the world over a series of decades, before later becoming a vociferous opponent of
American imperialism, declaring war is a racket.
Wilkerson spoke highly of Butler, referencing the late generals famous quote:
Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in
three districts. I operated on three continents.
I think the problem that Smedley identified, quite eloquently actually, Wilkerson said, especially for a Marine - I
had to say that as a soldier, the retired Army colonel added with a laugh;
I think the problem is much deeper and more profound today, and much more subtle and sophisticated.
Today, the military-industrial complex is much more pernicious than Eisenhower ever thought it would
be, Wilkerson warned.
In his farewell address in 1961, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously cautioned Americans that the military and
corporate interests were increasingly working together, contrary to the best interests of the citizenry. He called this
phenomenon the military-industrial complex.
As a case study of how the contemporary military-industrial complex works, Wilkerson pointed to leading weapons
corporations like Lockheed Martin, and their work with draconian, repressive Western-allied regimes in the Gulf, or in
inflaming tensions in Korea.
Was Bill Clintons expansion of NATO - after George H. W. Bush and [his Secretary of State] James Baker had
assured Gorbachev and then Yeltsin that we wouldnt go an inch further east - was this for Lockheed Martin, and
Raytheon, and Boeing, and others, to increase their network of potential weapon sales? Wilkerson asked.
You bet it was, he answered.
Is there a penchant on behalf of the Congress to bless the use of force more often than not because of the
constituencies they have and the money they get from the defense contractors? Wilkerson continued.
Again, he answered his own question: You bet.
Its not like Dick Cheney or someone like that went and said lets have a war because we want to make money for
Halliburton, but it is a pernicious on decision-making, the former Bush official explained.
And the fact that they donate so much money to congressional elections and to PACs and so forth is another
pernicious influence.
Those who deny this are just being utterly naive, or they are complicit too, Wilkerson added.
And some of my best friends work for Lockheed Martin, along with Raytheon, Boeing and Halliburton, he
quipped.
Wilkerson - who in the same interview with Salon defended Edward Snowden, saying the whistle-blower performed an
important service and did not endanger U.S. national security - was also intensely critical of the growing movement
to privatize public functions, like prisons.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
I fault us Republicans for this majorly, he confessed - although a good many prominent Democrats have also
jumped on the neoliberal bandwagon.
In a 2011 speech, for instance, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared, Its time for the United States to start
thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity for U.S. corporations.
Wilkerson lamented, Weve privatized the ultimate public function: war.
In many respects it is now private interests that benefit most from our use of military force, he continued.
Whether its private security contractors, that are still all over Iraq or Afghanistan, or its the bigger-known defense
contractors, like the number one in the world, Lockheed Martin.
Journalist Antony Loewenstein detailed how the U.S. privatized its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in another interview with
Salon. There are an estimated 30,000 military contractors working for the Pentagon in Afghanistan today;
they outnumber U.S. troops three-to-one. Thousands more are in Iraq.
Lockheed Martin simply plans to sell every aspect of missile defense that it can, regardless of whether it is needed,
Wilkerson said. And what is best to maximize corporate interest is by no means necessarily the same as what is best for
average citizens.
We dwarf the Russians or anyone else who sells weapons in the world, the retired Army colonel continued.
We are the death merchant of the world.

Putin Bans Rothschilds From Russia + Hungary Becomes First European Nation To
Ban Rothschild Banks
September 13 2016 | From: NosComunicamos / WakingTimes / Various
Brave Vladimir Putin has banned Jacob Rothschild and his New World Order banking cartel family
from entering Russian territory under any circumstances.
Putin recently reminded his cabinet that he paid off the Rothschilds debt and grabbed them by the scruff of the
neck and kicked them out Russias back door.

This meeting featured the President pounding his fist on the table and vowing to destroy the New World Order, and
according to a Kremlin source Putin is making great strides towards this goal.
They do not own the world, and they do not have carte blanch to do whatever they want. If we do not challenge
them there will be other issues. We will not be bullied by them.
It is understood that the Rothschild banking racket was a noose tied around the neck of the Russian economy. Once the
knot was tightened, the economy would struggle and choke.
Early in his presidency he made a priority of uniting Russia socially, spiritually, and economically. He ordered the arrest of
the Rothschild backed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky who had made Rothschild, Henry Kissinger and Arthur Hartman
directors of the Open Russia foundation.
He was so upset with the banksters in his temple, he tipped over their tables and drove them out with a whip.
A keen student of history, well versed in world affairs, the Russian President has studied the history of the worlds most
elusive organisation and understands the central role their financial collaborators have played in fomenting the major
international conflicts of the 20th century.

Now they want to plunge us into World War III.
The New World Orders invasive roots and branches keep spreading around the world, but President Putin has stopped
them expanding into Russia. This is a major blow to their plans for world domination and now they view him as a real threat.
Hes got them running scared, which is why he is degraded in the Western media at every opportunity.
The reality is that Putin is leading us towards a multi-polar world, far from the one government, one religion future plotted by
the New World Order. When he took his forces into Syria to protect a sovereign state he further enhanced his reputation as
a powerful leader.
People around the world have started to wake up and notice.
Putin's Eye-Opening Speech About US Foreign Policy
This video goes back to a Russian TV show in 2011, when Putin's foreign policy wasn't quite as clear to the Russian public
as it is today. Nevertheless, he makes his stance known on US foreign policy, and notably, his feelings toward Mr McCain.

Hungary Becomes First European Nation To Ban Rothschild Banks

The name Rothschild is literally associated with wealth. This is because for over 200 years, the
family has remained the most powerful and wealthy family in the world.
The head of Hungarys central bank has called for the International Monetary Fund to close its office in Budapest
Most of the Rothschild fortune has been made in the world of banking, but investments in other industries, such as
coal, real estate, and construction, have helped secure the familys wealth and immense power.
One of the banks owned by the Rothschild group (the biggest banking group in the world) is the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), AKA Imposing Misery and Famine.
Not only does the group make money off usurious interest rates at the misfortune of crumbling economies, it literally owns
Governments and people of power. Because its nearly impossible to escape the clutches of the banking group, news
of IMF being booted from Hungary is being heralded as a victorious happening.

TapNewsWire reports that in 2008, Hungary survived economic turmoil by relying on a 20 billion ($26 billion) loan from the
IMF and aid from the EU. This was before Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn was elected into office.
In 2013, however, the former economy minister and current central bank governor, Gyorgy Matolcsy, wrote a letter to IMF
Managing Director Christine Lagarde calling for the fund to close its representative office in Budapest. Matolcsy noted that it
was not necessary to maintain it any longer. In addition, he said in July of 2016 that Hungary would repay the 2008 loan in
full by the end of the year.
Prime Minister Orbn hasnt had a good relationship with IMF since taking office, and this latest move has taken it to a new
low. However, many are hailing Hungarys decision to boot the IMF from the country as an intelligent decision.
NeonNettle reports:
Paying the loan back early has meant Hungary have saved 11.7 million worth of interest expenses, but Gordan
Bajnai, leader of the electoral alliance E14-PM, claimed that they had actually lost 44.86 million by March 2014
because of the early repayment as all they did was replace the loan from the [IMF] with a more expensive one,
labelling the stunt as Propaganda.
And what made further nonsense; another loan at high interest rates was signed to finance a nuclear upgrade,
which will mean not only higher repayments but also high electricity costs. But they do have economic sovereignty
now.
The central bank governor says that the government succeeded in pushing its budget deficit below the EU ceiling of 3% in
GDP and reduced government debt. Though the EU Commission expected it to return to weak growth shortly after the
decision, the unorthodox system of imposing heavy special taxes on large companies seems to be working for the country.
YourNewsWire relays that Iceland joined Hungary in 2014 when it paid back its $400 million loan ahead of schedule after
the collapse of the banking sector in 2008.
In addition, Russia has refused to bow down to any Western puppeteer and gained financial independence in 2005.
Reportedly, this is the FIRST time a European country has stood up to the international fund, since Germany did so in the
1930s.
The Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (TTIP) Is Dead + Earthquakes
September 12 2016 | From: Geopolitics / VeteransToday
This is one of those incremental changes that we can celebrate on, but it doesnt mean that we can
let our guards down already.
The enemy is very cunning and knows how and when to play dead only to rise at some opportune time in the
future.

Mass actions against corporate tyranny should be decisive and perpetual. Even better, refuse all rigged political exercises,

Good News for the People of Europe: The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Is Dead. Negotiations
have Failed.
The German Minister of Economy and Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Sigmar Gabriel, a few days ago has declared that the
European Union should not submit to the demands of the United States, referring to the negotiations on the TTIP
(Transatlantic Trade and Investments Partnership). He said the negotiations failed. By saying so, he joined French
Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, as well as French Secretary of State for External Trade, Mr. Matthias Fekl.
Related: The [Attempted] Final Control: TPP, TTIP, TISA Global Corporate Takeover
Negotiations started in 2013. After 14 rounds of talks dealing with 27 points, no agreement has been reached, none
whatsoever, leading to the conclusion that the deal is dead. Even though Mme. Merkel defended the treaty with all her heart
up to the end of July 2016, both Germany and France now request a definite end to the negotiations.
The collapse of the TTIP is one of the best news for Europe and I mean the people of Europe in recent times; an
initiative of the two major players in the EU.
This decision has several meanings:
1. European countries are gradually taking back their sovereignty from Brussels and decide for themselves what
is good for them and for Europe;
2. With a failed TTIP Europe escapes, or avoids, being enslaved by US corporatism, financial institutions and US
legislation;
3. Europe may now continue making its proper policies on socioeconomy, environment, food safety, agriculture -
and
4. Europe is now freer to pursue its own monetary policy. Under the grip of the TTIP, it would have been difficult,
say impossible, to adopt a monetary policy outside of the Euro which many countries would like, openly or covertly
some without making a lot of noise for fear of being reprimanded by Brussels.

The fact that authorities of both, France and Germany, stated in unison that the negotiations failed, is a sign that there is still
a spirit of autonomy in Europe.
What is called negotiations were never really negotiations a give and take between equal partners. It was from the
beginning a one-way street, where the exceptional nation imposed its rules. There was no way of getting the slightest
concession from them not an iota.
No doubt Washington had no intention to share any of the benefits of this Free Trade Agreement with Europe.
The exceptional people wanted it all. For example, the term Appelation Contrle for wine and cheese in France and other
European countries, used to protect the farmers of a given region would have disappeared. The US wanted everything to
be open for the ever dictating market.
Nothing was to be clearly defined, as far as Europe was concerned. No transparence just a vast base for cheating,
consumers and nations.
TTIP talks were held in top secret, behind closed doors. Not even politicians, let alone the public at large which eventually
would have had to bear the consequences of the deal, had access to the documents being negotiated. It showed the
Machiavellian nature of empire at its best.
Related: TPP Posing Serious Threat To Global Internet Users
China knew very well why they were not even interested in participating in the TPP (Transpacific Partnership), a similar
trade agreement with eleven Pacific nations and the US.
Lets recall the key point that would have meant disaster for Europe:
A private corporate tribunal that would have had supremacy over sovereign government legislation. For example,
the tribunal could have imposed sanctions or fines on governments, whose legislation, say for health, environmental
protection and other social reasons, would have reduced corporations profit margins.
Similar in the banking sector, monetary policy would have been firmly dictated by the FED, Wall Street (i.e.
Goldman Sachs see Greece and the head of the ECB, a former GS exec) and the European Central Bank. This for
now is still the case, but with an unsustainable and unreformable EU and Euro, both are destined to disappear sooner or
later. It is likely that many countries are already quietly and clandestinely arranging for Plan B preparing exit strategies.
Indeed, since BREXIT, there are numerous political movements to this effect under way and this not only in the most
devastatingly affected southern European countries, but also in northern Europe.
Agriculture policy would have been dictated by Washington, especially with regard to GMOs and ag-subsidies.
Monsanto and the like would have had free access to all of Europe, and none of the EU members could have passed
legislation prohibiting genetically modified seeds.
Standards for health and nutrition would have been imposed by Washington, i.e. by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Most of these standards are considerably weaker than European equivalents, potentially exposing
European citizens to greater health risks than current EU standards foresee.
Labor laws would have been weakened in according to US standards which foresee virtually no protection for
workers. The Brussels imposed new labor law in France, dubbed as the El Khomri law, after the French Minister of Labor,
Myriam El Khomri, would reduce significantly French labor rights, fought for and attained with decades of efforts literally
sweat and tears by French workers and unions.

The new French labor law, signed as a decree by PM Manuel Valls under a dubious special provision in the Constitution
(instead of being passed through Parliament), was a precursor for things to come in the rest of Europe had the TTIP gone
forward.
This controversial law is currently at the demand of more than 60 French Parliamentarians being reviewed by the
French Conseil dEtat (equivalent to other countries Supreme Court) and may quite possibly be either canceled or sent to
Parliament for a decision. Now that the TTIP is dead, it is possible that the law will be repealed.

The day the TTIP died was a great day for Europe. Although Europe is far from being out of the woods. Her own problems
keep piling up, many of them also a direct or indirect consequence of empire.
To mention just a few:
Immigration from US-NATO war-destroyed countries;
The never ending financial cum economic crisis;

The complete absence of solidarity among EU nations;
The lack of EU countries sovereignty; the missing EU Constitution giving member countries a common
perspective and political agenda;
The increasing (false flag) terror attacks throughout Europe; and not least NATO which through its
aggression towards Russia is increasingly becoming a risk of war of WWIII that would for the third time in 100
years devastate Europe.

This time the rest of the world would very likely not be spared. Many countries are conscious of this danger and would like to

Italy, The Phillipines And Oklahoma Get An Earthquake
If the tsunami in Sumatra in 2004 and the earthquakes in the Pacific Rim during 2011- 2012 taught
me anything, it is that tsunamis and earthquakes happen for a reason.
Related: Countries Sign The TPPA: Whatever Happened To The 'Debate' We Were Promised Before Signing?
As a recap, with regard to the former. The northern part of Sumatra was going to break away from the southern part
and nationalize their oil resources and free themselves from ExxonMobil. They were the worst hit in the tsunami of
2004. To quote from Wikipedia:
"Aceh has substantial natural resources, including oil and natural gas; some estimates put Aceh gas reserves as
being the largest in the world. Aceh was the closest point of land to the epicenter of the 2004 Indian Ocean
earthquake and tsunami, which devastated much of the western coast of the province.
Approximately 170,000 Indonesians were killed or went missing in the disaster. The disaster helped precipitate the
peace agreement between the government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM).
A little bit too convenient dont you think?
With regard to the latter, the Pacific Rim and the countries within it just happen to also be party to the TPP agreements
which Obama is attempting to get signed and sealed before he leaves office.
Christchurch earthquake, New Zealand
I have to conclude that the earthquakes and tsunamis that hit this region, two examples being Christchurch in February
2011 and Fukushima in March and April of that year, were and in many instances still are weather warfare and methods of
persuasion against those who have attempted to resist the Pivot to Asia and the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement.
With regards to the Fukushima catastrophe, most people outside the loop cannot conceive or accept that such evil could be
perpetrated against the Japanese people. Those within the loop, many considered to be the tin foil hat brigade, are fully
aware that such evil intentions are not out of the realm of the global, corporate fascists agenda.
Japan, the only country who has experienced a full frontal nuclear attack, not once, but twice, in spite of being in the process
of surrendering at the end of WW2, has no such illusions.
For an in depth analysis of the TPP see: In The Court That Rules The World by Chris Hamby. Here is an extract:
Imagine a private, global super court that empowers corporations to bend countries to their will.
Say a nation tries to prosecute a corrupt CEO or ban dangerous pollution. Imagine that a company could turn to this super
court and sue the whole country for daring to interfere with its profits, demanding hundreds of millions or even billions of
dollars as retribution.
Imagine that this court is so powerful that nations often must heed its rulings as if they came from their own
supreme courts, with no meaningful way to appeal. That it operates unconstrained by precedent or any significant
public oversight, often keeping its proceedings and sometimes even its decisions secret.
That the people who decide its cases are largely elite Western corporate attorneys who have a vested interest in
expanding the courts authority because they profit from it directly, arguing cases one day, and then sitting in
judgment another. That some of them half-jokingly refer to themselves as The Club or The Mafia.
And imagine that the penalties this court has imposed have been so crushing - and its decisions so unpredictable - that
some nations dare not risk a trial, responding to the mere threat of a lawsuit by offering vast concessions, such as rolling
back their own laws or even wiping away the punishments of convicted criminals.
This system is already in place, operating behind closed doors in office buildings and conference rooms in cities
around the world. Known as investor-state dispute settlement, or ISDS, it is written into a vast network of treaties
that govern international trade and investment, including NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which
Congress must soon decide whether to ratify.
On the 24th of August 2016 an earthquake hit central Italy.

My condolences and sympathies go out to the Italians. But what interests me more here is the political and economic
background noise. On the 5th of July an Italian minister said:
"A free trade deal being negotiated by the European Union and the United States is at a dead end and an
agreement with Canada is also at risk.
I think (the TTIP deal) will fall through, and the agreement with Canada is at risk of doing the same. We have been
negotiating it for too long, Carlo Calenda, Italys industry minister said at an event in Rome.
Calenda said confidence in the negotiations was lacking.
The TTIP is the EU-US equivalent of the Pacific Rim/ Pivot to Asia/ TPP agreements.
On the 8th of July Alessandro Nicolette pointed out that the TTIP would be a disaster for the Italian economy.
"The TTIP approval would see European markets invaded by approximately 1,300 chemical substances which are
forbidden by European law. In fact, there are more than 80 pesticides that are used in the US whose production
was blocked by the European Commission for being hazardous.
Moreover, there are animal growth hormones and genetically modified organisms among the banned substances
which are allowed in the US. Other EU banned practices, such as feeding antibiotics to animals or washing
chickens with chlorine are also permitted in the US
As the Italian Department of Economic Development pointed out, it entails the counterfeiting of Italian products in
the US and pushing the consumer to associate such products with the Italian original ones. According to the official
body, about 75% of Italian products abroad are not authentic, and it damages Italian production. The signing of
TTIP would bring Italian sounding products to Europe: another blow to Italian agro-food producers.
With regard to the Phillipines they have had ongoing weather disasters.
Philippines' President Rodrigo Duterte
Before Typhoon Hagupit struck in 2014, the government voted not to allow a US military base in their country. Shortly
afterwards a US military base was established. Since then they have had a number of earthquakes. The most recent on the
4th of September 2016.
Newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte is a mixed bag. He is cracking down on illegal drug trafficking, possibly paving the
way for Big Pharma patents on narcotics such as opium. Heroin junkies that are increasing world wide are not the only
market for this commodity, opium is an essential component in health care medication and pain relief for those who really
need it.
It is also big money for anyone with a patent on this product and when freely available through drug traffickers undermines
their profit margins.
So you have to wonder about the Philippine governments war on narco-politics, and the killing of over 400 drug dealers
that has reportedly led to an additional 500,000 turning themselves in
Duterte: Ill really have you killed My order is shoot to kill you. I dont care about human rights, you
better believe me.my mouth has no due process.
Duterte has also promised the voters free wi-fi (more opportunity for Google and social media brainwashing), lower taxes,
polygamy being legalised, (will pedophilia and child marriages also be included considering that child sex trafficking is rife in
Asia?) and higher wages for government employees.
He wants to lift foreign investment limitations and join the TPP. This is in stark contrast to current legislation:
Duterte has expressed interest in granting foreign investors access to sectors currently restricted to
Philippine nationals and allowing them to own at least 70 percent and possibly up to 100 percent of
companies they establish in the country, up from the current limit of 40 percent. Getting rid of the so-
called 60:40 rule should pose a challenge, however, as it requires amending the countrys 1987
constitution."
Sectors that are currently heavily restricted to foreign access include:
Mass media and broadcasting
Retail trade
Domestic shipping
Pharmaceuticals
Advertising
Public services
Small-scale mining
Private security
Utilization of marine resources
While there is no guarantee that all or even many currently restricted industries will be opened to foreign investment if
Duterte successfully amends the constitution, there could still be significant opportunities on the horizon in these largely
untapped sectors.
Further, Duterte has also indicated support for joining the TPP, which in itself could require altering the constitution due to
foreign ownership restrictions. However, it appears that he will maintain restrictions on foreign ownership of land, which is
currently limited to long-term leasing.
Which makes me conclude that Duterte is a Trojan Horse.
In many of his campaign promises he has said that he will make congress illegal. This would pave the way towards getting
rid of major obstacles and politicians that currently block TPP agreements and getting rid of foreign investment limitations as
they currently stand.
If the newly appointed President, who shows all the signs of becoming yet another CIA Kissingertype dictator and
Pinochet/ Videla/ Suharto clone, does not succeed in bringing the country into compliance with corporate fascist
monopolistic globalist ambitions, then a few more earthquakes and a couple more tornadoes just might be needed in order
to get the message across.
Weather Warfare
"The significant expansion in Americas weather warfare arsenal, which is a priority of the Department of Defense
is not a matter for debate or discussion.
While, environmentalists blame the Bush administration for not having signed the Kyoto protocol, the issue of
weather warfare, namely the manipulation of weather patterns for military use is never mentioned."
The US Air Force has the capability of manipulating climate either for testing purposes or for outright military-intelligence
use. These capabilities extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes.
In recent years, large amounts of money have been allocated by the US Department of Defense to further developing and
perfecting these capabilities.
"Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally It
could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes.
The ability to generate precipitation, fog, and storms on earth or to modify space weather, and the production of
artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of technologies which can provide substantial increase in US, or
degraded capability in an adversary, to achieve global awareness, reach, and power."

Dady Chery (News Junkie Post) who has investigated the activities of the Clinton Family Foundation, the

I think the reason that they do not want people to look too closely at Haiti is because Haiti is such a perfect
example of what a Clinton administration would be. And I want people to keep in mind that we are heading toward
a situation where we are going to have more planetary change disasters.
We are going to have more floods, we are going to have more hurricanes if Clinton becomes president and stays
president for the next eight years.
We can expect that there might be a major hurricane that causes a major disaster in the Gulf for example and
other kinds of disasters in the United States. In Haiti we have a pretty good idea how the Clintons would handle

On the Saturday the 3rd of September an earthquake struck Green County Oklahoma.

Dakota Access Pipeline Sage Turns Violent Amid Largest Gathering Of Native Americans Since The Little
Bighorn
In what has become the largest gathering of Native Americans in more than 100 years, a coalition of dozens of
tribes across the country oppose the pipelines construction, citing concerns that it would put the Missouri River
as well as the network of lakes and tributaries that the Big Muddy is connected to at risk of contamination via oil
spill and lead to the destruction of culturally significant sites for the Sioux tribes in the area.
Saturdays clash began when a group of several hundred protestors gathered near construction crews on Saturday
afternoon at a site close to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The demonstrators aimed to act as a human
shield against the pipelines further development, after the removal of topsoil from a 150-feet wide and 2-mile long
portion of land caused devastating damage to the tribes sacred lands.
Stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline which endangers the water supply to Native American
reservations.
The Dakota Access pipeline is set to be constructed near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North
Dakota, crossing under the Missouri River which is the only source of water to the reservation. The
pipeline is planned to transport approximately 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The potential of oil
leaks would contaminate the only source of water for the reservation.
While Dakota Access claims oil leaks are unlikely, an oil leak from a separate pipeline in North Dakota was
discovered (8/15/16) to have leaked over 500 barrels of oil since the leak began on July 19, 2016. You can
read the article here: http://bit.ly/2aVm5cv. A leak like this from the Dakota Access pipeline would leave the
Standing Rock Sioux without any clean water.
Or - are we talking natural gas reserves and Fracking in Green County, which the Pawnee would be correct in resisting.
Space Weather makes an oh so brief reference to it when covering the earthquake in Oklahoma at 1.50 mins and if you
are not up to speed on the damage that Fracking does to the groundwater, soil, air and contributes to health hazards
causing cancer for one, here is what Bernie Saunders thinks of it.
Does John Key Run The NZ Meth Trade?

September 9 2016 | From: MediaWhores
Meth has never been so big in New Zealand, and John Key is the man pretending to lead the
Country so this seems like a fair question in our view, does John Key run the NZ meth industry?
Lets look at the evidence: New Zealand now has one of the highest meth usage rates in the World.
Obviously meth was introduced here prior to the bankers putting their puppet John Key in power, but it has grown and grown
under the John Key regime, presumably because the John key regime wants it that way.
New Zealand has very easy borders to protect, being a small island Nation. There is no cocaine flooding the streets of NZ,
because the shadow Government/ bankers do not want cocaine flooding the streets.
Same goes for ecstasy and other drugs, if the shadow government do not want it here, it is policed and kept out.
They even do a pretty good job policing marijuana, a weed that can be grown in the backyard, investing 10s of millions each
year in helicopters and police pulling out those plants Nationwide.
Somehow though they just cant seem to be able to keep out the meth, or the precursors to make meth. Strange
isnt it?
Meth is obviously a huge business, not just in the estimated $50 million each week generated in cash sales, but it also
creates a huge state / Crown run business in terms of policing, mental health, WINZ (the governments biggest business),
courts and jails.
An estimated $900 million generated in burglaries, crime, policing, court and jails each year as a direct result of the meth
trade in NZ. Not to mention the insurance companies who make a killing off the burglaries and ever increasing premiums.
Its big big business, and the last thing the Crown wants, is for it to end.
Indeed in recent years the Nazi like government of John Key, along with all the other puppet Zionist regimes controlling the
Western World, have implemented sweeping new spy laws which gives them the right to spy on their own citizens.
Cell phone towers in every neighborhood pick up all text messages and cell phone calls made in that region, and
the police & GCSB now have software which can go through and pick up any keywords they plug into the system
e.g. meth, bag, hundy bag, point, puff, fire, burn, pipe, gram etc etc.
Not to mention the ability to categorize and identify those who regularly send strange text messages all night another
indication of possible meth dealers. Yet with all of those new spy laws and technology, the Government cant seem to get the
problem under control.
Ridiculous isnt it. They could be doing huge busts everyday with that technology and quickly clean up every major
dealer in every town but they clearly choose not to.
Because business is good!
So clearly the state is allowing the meth trade in NZ if not directly encouraging it via their WINZ payments and by allowing
the same dairies Nationwide to sell the glass pipes for the past 15 + years but that alone is not evidence that John Key
runs the meth trade.
So is there any real evidence of this?
The Government clearly allows the meth trade, but could John Key be the man actually running it?
Numerous stories have made it clear that the Auckland Casino is a central hub for meth trafficking and money laundering
the Casino being one of John Keys favorite projects, giving them tax cuts, funding and special grants to build bigger and
bigger. Key is also a regular to the place, where many of NZs biggest meth lords gather to buy and sell and launder their
profits.
Many of these meth lords are Chinese of course, and we all know John Key does a lot of business with the Chinese, selling
us out to them each week. We also see wealthy Chinese businessmen paying off and bribing our pathetic corrupt Justice
system these days.
Related: William Yan agrees to pay $43 million
Still- that is not hard evidence that John Key is running the meth trade in NZ. Lets look at more evidence.
The posts below came from a Facebook thread doing the rounds the other week (source withheld for obvious reasons -
these bastards are very dangerous people).
Meth in New Zealand: All the meth leaders who have gangs underneath are meeting in the elite VIP sky casino
room like citizen tan in yesterdays herald 11/20 of Chinas most wanted are now in New Zealand like citizen tan.
Shun Key knows they are here because they pay $ to meet him and approve their visas.
Shun Key knows what they are doing also. You cant tell me Shun Key didnt know Dotcom existed. Why is shun
key protecting Chinese meth leaders? The bust on northland beach was sacrificed to get people off what is really
happening with meth and Chinese in VIP room at casino
Again Auckland VIP casino room is potentially the most powerful meeting room in the country because they own
MPs politicians and control Chinese policy by buying national party!
So the national party not winston in my opinion set that meth bust up to get heat off with meth because you have to
show the media some wins now and then Correct?
I dont trust anything re Key he knows about the Auckland vip casino he knows about citizen bill spending
$128m at casino in a year he could have shut him down and sent him to China then for extradition why didnt he ?
Because the govt is in bed with these meth pushers at VIP casino somehow.
A lot of them are Chinas fugitives committing money fraud and cleaning their dirty money here in housing and
meth ! Two very very profitably industries monopolized by these wealthy Chinese fugitives who use front men
trusts etc and they are controlling it all, while the national government protect them and even represent them in the
media.
So that blogger seems pretty sure John Key is in with the Chinese meth gangs. Still - no hard evidence of such.
The record bust of meth in Northland mentioned in the above posts seemed to go nowhere didnt it? There was talk of a few
arrests, then no court trial we have heard of. If the police were doing their jobs they should have been able to clean up the
whole ring, but dont think they did.
Related: More arrests made in country's record meth haul
Someone also reported that one of the cars pulled up during that accidental bust was registered to the Masala restaurant
chain. Winston Peters is apparently a good mate of many of those Indian businessmen, who are also famous for running visa
and illegal worker scams. Perhaps the Indians are into the meth business also?
Seems everyone is really. Also interesting Winston Peters never mentioned NZs largest meth haul in his own electorate
(having taken over post Mike Sabin). Perhaps Northland is the main gateway for the meth trade, and the bankers just put
Winston in there to keep things going? Certainly strange he never mentioned it.
Perhaps someone should have searched Winstons boat also?

And lets not forget the previous top cop in Northland, Michael Blowers in charge of the regions organised crime unit lol
who stole millions of dollars of meth from a police evidence room and tried to sell it. What a bloody joke.
Related: Cop swapped meth for salt, says Crown
Presumably the latest record haul will also find its way onto the streets of NZ, with the help of more corrupt cops.
In fact there have been numerous NZ police busted both taking and selling meth even police prosecutors working straight
out of the court room.

And top lawyers:

It seems fairly clear that meth is here because the establishment is hooked on both the money and the actual drug.
Fucking meth heads running the country.
And what about Mike Sabin?- Mike Sabin was the Governments lead man in the war on meth via MethCon a government
subsidized company.
Probably no accident they called it Meth Con in our view. Sabin was also chairman of the governments powerful Law and
Order Select Committee which meets with police each month to discuss problems and strategy.
He then went on to become the National MP for Northland but suddenly stepped down under a cloud of allegations and court
appearances, all the details of which were suppressed. There was then a secret trial, more name suppression and eventually
a promotion to a job running an International/ luxury gold course in the Far North, for a Chinese company.
The judiciary, media and government all did a stellar job keeping that whole story suppressed. Still no hard evidence linking
Mike Sabin to John Key and the meth trade. Just speculation and name suppression really.
Oddly enough, it was NZ author Greg Hallett who first said the NZ police and judiciary run the meth trade in NZ. This was
before John Key came along, so perhaps it is possible that Key just took over the management of the meth trade from Hellin
Clark (another criminal posing as a leader)? Lets look at that video...
Greg Hallett has also claimed online that Winston Peters was involved with the real Mr Asia that being Peter Williams QC,
and his heroin trafficking operations. No mention of Winston or John Key and the meth trade though.
So no hard evidence that it is John Key running it all it appears more that it is the judiciary, Criminal Bar Association and
the police who run the meth trade in NZ, and have done so since before John Key was placed here by the foreign bankers as
a smiling dictator.
Having said that it is impossible to think that John Key doesnt know how the trade works and who is running it. Perhaps he
even smokes it himself? His son Max Key has lost enough weight to be on meth, and his favorite DJ track is called Cut me
another line (by his own admission).
Our conclusion is that there is reasonable grounds to suspect John Key is very close to the meth trade and meth traffickers
operating in NZ giving them a free pass to operate here and destroy our communities and Kiwi lives, because it is all just
good business at the end of the day.
But we have no direct evidence yet that John Key is actually running the whole business.
Much like the Opium Wars in China, where the Zionist controlled British Government used opium to take over China and
destroy their royal family, it seems clear that meth is being used to do the same in NZ - wiping out Kiwis and their
communities while John Key sells everything off to the Chinese, on the instruction of his Zionist handlers the Zionists being
the people who have run the illicit drugs trades around the globe for at least the past 200 years and John Key himself
being a Zionist puppet leader in NZ.
And why are the Zionists selling NZ off to China you ask? Because it fits their globalization agenda, destroying all
sovereign nations around the world, bringing them all under their new global corporate (fascist) control.

Who Is Obamas Boss? And Why It Matters

September 8 2016 | From: JonRappoport
Its called the Trilateral Commission, and its original stated goal was to create a new international
economic order"
Here is another question that has the same answer: who is in charge of destroying economies? Who keeps
pushing new economy-destroying trade treaties, like the upcoming TPP? Who is in the business of killing jobs and
hope? Who demands that these treaties must be ratified?
Related: The Conspiracy to Rule the World: #58. The Trilateral Commission
Who is breathing down Obamas neck, as he stages a last-ditch effort to ratify the TPP and further bury US sovereignty
under the weight of global corporations? Who demands that more US jobs disappear overseas and never come back?
One group has been virtually forgotten. Its influence is enormous. It has existed since 1973. Its called the Trilateral
Commission (TC).
Keep in mind that the original stated goal of the TC was to create a new international economic order.
In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was tutored by the co-founder of the
Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Four years before birthing the TC with his boss of bosses, David Rockefeller, Brzezinski wrote:
[The] nation state as a fundamental unit of mans organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force.
International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the
political concepts of the nation state.
Goodbye, separate nations.
Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs
(2003):
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my
family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political
and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington, points out there are only 87 members of the Trilateral Commission
who live in America. Obama appointed eleven of them to posts in his administration.
For example:
Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary
James Jones, National Security Advisor
Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee
Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence
Here is the payoff. The US Trade Representative (appointed by Obama in 2013), who is responsible for negotiating the TPP
with 11 other nations, is Michael Froman, a former member of the Trilateral Commission.
Dont let the word former fool you. TC members resign when they take positions in the Executive Branch of government.
And when they serve in vital positions, such as US Trade Representative, they arent there by accident. Theyre TC
operatives with a specific agenda.
Im now going to print a stunning piece of forgotten history, a 1978 conversation between a US reporter and two members of
the Trilateral Commission. (Source: Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management; ed.
by Holly Sklar, 1980, South End Press, Pages 192-3).
The conversation was public knowledge at the time. Anyone who was anyone in Washington politics, in media, in think-
tanks, had access to it. Understood its meaning.
But no one shouted from the rooftops. No one used the conversation to force a scandal. No one protested loudly.
The conversation revealed that the entire basis of the US Constitution had been torpedoed, that the people who were
running US national policy (which includes trade treaties) were agents of an elite shadow group. No question about it.
And yet: official silence. Media silence. The Dept. of Justice made no moves, Congress undertook no serious inquiries, and
the President, Jimmy Carter, issued no statements.
Carter was himself an agent of the Trilateral Commission in the White House. He had been plucked from obscurity by David
Rockefeller, and through elite TC press connections, vaulted into the spotlight as a pre-eminent choice for the Presidency.
The 1978 conversation featured reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission members, Karl Kaiser and
Richard Cooper. The interview took up the issue of who exactly, during President Carters administration, was formulating
US economic and political policy.
The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing. Its as if theyre saying;
What were revealing is already out in the open, its too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up,
weve already won
NOVAK (the reporter): Is it true that a private [Trilateral committee] led by Henry Owen of the US and made up of [Trilateral]
representatives of the US, UK, West Germany, Japan, France and the EEC is coordinating the economic and political
policies of the Trilateral countries [which would include the US]?
COOPER: Yes, they have met three times.
NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this committee should remain informal because to formalize this
function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral and other countries which do not take part. Who are
you afraid of?
KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany plays at these [Trilateral]
meetings.
COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent such coordination [of policy].
NOVAK: But this [Trilateral] committee is essential to your whole policy. How can you keep it a secret or fail to try
to get popular support [for its decisions on how Trilateral member nations will conduct their economic and political
policies]?
COOPER: Well, I guess its the press job to publicize it.
NOVAK: Yes, but why doesnt President Carter come out with it and tell the American people that [US] economic
and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral] committee made up of Henry Owen and six others? After
all, if [US] policy is being made on a multinational level, the people should know.
COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this in their speeches. [a lie]
KAISER: It just hasnt become an issue.
This interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was buried.
US economic and political policy run by a committee of the Trilateral Commission - the Commission had been created in
1973 by David Rockefeller and his sidekick, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
When Carter won the presidential election, his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said that if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and
Brzezinski came on board as secretary of state and national security adviser, Weve lost. And Ill quit.
Lost because both men were powerful members of the Trilateral Commission and their appointment to key positions would
signal a surrender of White House control to the Commission.
Vance and Brzezinski were appointed secretary of state and national security adviser, as Jordan feared. But he
didnt quit. He became Carters chief of staff.
The nation state as a fundamental unti of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative
force: Internaiotnal banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in
advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.
- 1972, 'Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era
Now consider the vast propaganda efforts of the past 40 years, on so many levels, to install the idea that all nations and
peoples of the world are a single Collective.
From a very high level of political and economic power, this propaganda op has had the objective of grooming the
population for a planet that is one coagulated mass, run and managed by one force. A central engine of that force is the
Trilateral Commission.
How does a shadowy group like the TC accomplish its goal?
One basic strategy is: destabilize nations; ruin their economies; ratify trade treaties that effectively send millions and millions
of manufacturing jobs off to places where virtual slave labor does the work; adding insult to injury, export the cheap products
of those slave-factories back to the nations who lost the jobs and undercut their domestic manufacturers, forcing them to
close their doors and fire still more employees.
And then solve that economic chaos by bringing order. What kind of order?

The UN
Eventually, one planet, with national borders erased, under one management system, with a planned global economy, to
restore stability, for the good of all, for lasting harmony.
The top Trilateral players, in 2008, had their man in the White House, another formerly obscure individual like Jimmy Carter:
Barack Obama. They had new trade treaties on the planning table. Obama was tasked with doing whatever was necessary
to bring those treaties, like the TPP, home. To get them passed. To get them ratified. No excuses.
Thats why, over a year ago, when anti-TPP criticism and rhetoric were reaching a crescendo, when Obama was seeking
Congressional fast-track authority for the treaty, he was in a sweat and a panic.
He and his cabinet were on the phones night and day, scrambling and scraping for votes in Congress. This was the Big
One. This was why he was the President. To make this happen.
His Trilateral bosses were watching. These men run US policy, when and where it counts. They dont like failure.
This is also why, after Obama was inaugurated for his first term, he shocked and astonished his own advisors, who
expected him, as the first order of business, to address the unemployment issue in America.
He shocked them by ignoring the number-one concern of Americans, and instead decided to opt for his disastrous
national health insurance policy - Obamacare.
Obama never had any intention of trying to dig America out of the crash of 2008.
That wasnt why he was put in the Oval Office. He could, and would, pretend to bring back the economy, with
fudged numbers and distorted standards.
But really and truly, create good-paying jobs for many, many Americans? Not on the TC agenda. Not in the cards.
It was counter-productive to the TC plan: torpedo the economy further.
Obama is on the move. Hes traveling to far-flung places, trying to shore up global consensus on the TPP treaty. His people
are working around the clock to round up the necessary votes for TPP ratification in Congress.
Obama plans to sneak through the treaty during Congress lame-duck session after the November election, before newly
elected Congressional members take office.
Pushing through Globalist trade treaties: this is why he was put in the White House. This is his appointed task. This
is his real job. His bosses are watching.
I pledge allegiance to the Trilateral Commission, and to the domination for which it stands, one planet, indivisible,
with tyranny and poverty and top-down order for all

The Court That Rules The World

September 7 2016 | From: Buzzfeed
A parallel legal universe, open only to corporations and largely invisible to everyone else, helps
executives convicted of crimes escape punishment.
Part one of a BuzzFeed News investigation - Read the whole series here.
Imagine a private, global super court that empowers corporations to bend countries to their will.
Say a nation tries to prosecute a corrupt CEO or ban dangerous pollution. Imagine that a company could turn to this super
court and sue the whole country for daring to interfere with its profits, demanding hundreds of millions or even billions of
dollars as retribution.
Imagine that this court is so powerful that nations often must heed its rulings as if they came from their own supreme courts,
with no meaningful way to appeal.
That it operates unconstrained by precedent or any significant public oversight, often keeping its proceedings and sometimes
even its decisions secret.
That the people who decide its cases are largely elite Western corporate attorneys who have a vested interest in expanding
the courts authority because they profit from it directly, arguing cases one day and then sitting in judgment another.
That some of them half-jokingly refer to themselves as The Club or The Mafia.
And imagine that the penalties this court has imposed have been so crushing - and its decisions so unpredictable - that some
nations dare not risk a trial, responding to the mere threat of a lawsuit by offering vast concessions, such as rolling back their
own laws or even wiping away the punishments of convicted criminals.
This system is already in place, operating behind closed doors in office buildings and conference rooms in cities around the
world.
Known as investor-state dispute settlement, or ISDS, it is written into a vast network of treaties that govern international trade
and investment, including NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Congress must soon decide whether to ratify.
These trade pacts have become a flashpoint in the US presidential campaign. But an 18-month BuzzFeed News
investigation, spanning three continents and involving more than 200 interviews and tens of thousands of documents, many
of them previously confidential, has exposed an obscure but immensely consequential feature of these trade treaties, the
secret operations of these tribunals, and the ways that business has co-opted them to bring sovereign nations to heel.
The BuzzFeed News investigation explores four different aspects of ISDS. In coming days, it will show how the mere threat
of an ISDS case can intimidate a nation into gutting its own laws, how some financial firms have transformed what was
intended to be a system of justice into an engine of profit, and how America is surprisingly vulnerable to suits from foreign
companies.
The series starts today with perhaps the least known and most jarring revelation:
Companies and executives accused or even convicted of crimes have escaped punishment by turning to this special forum.
Based on exclusive reporting from the Middle East, Central America, and Asia, BuzzFeed News has found the following:
A Dubai real estate mogul and former business partner of Donald Trump [not that that means anything, he's had
hundreds of business partners] was sentenced to prison for collaborating on a deal that would swindle the Egyptian
people out of millions of dollars - but then he turned to ISDS and got his prison sentence wiped away.
In El Salvador, a court found that a factory had poisoned a village - including dozens of children - with lead, failing
for years to take government-ordered steps to prevent the toxic metal from seeping out. But the factory owners
lawyers used ISDS to help the company dodge a criminal conviction and the responsibility for cleaning up the area
and providing needed medical care.
Two financiers convicted of embezzling more than $300 million from an Indonesian bank used an ISDS finding to
fend off Interpol, shield their assets, and effectively nullify their punishment.
When the US Congress votes on whether to give final approval to the sprawling Trans-Pacific Partnership, which President
Barack Obama staunchly supports, it will be deciding on a massive expansion of ISDS. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
oppose the overall treaty, but they have focused mainly on what they say would be the loss of American jobs.
Clintons running mate, Tim Kaine, has voiced concern about ISDS in particular, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren has lambasted
it. Last year, members of both houses of Congress tried to keep it out of the Pacific trade deal. They failed.
ISDS is basically binding arbitration on a global scale, designed to settle disputes between countries and foreign companies
that do business within their borders. Different treaties can mandate slightly different rules, but the system is broadly the
same.
When companies sue, their cases are usually heard in front of a tribunal of three arbitrators, often private attorneys. The
business appoints one arbitrator and the country another, then both sides usually decide on the third together.
Conceived of in the 1950s, the system was intended to benefit both developing nations and the foreign companies
that sought to invest in them.
The companies would gain a fair, neutral referee if a rogue regime seized their property or discriminated against them in
favor of domestic companies. And the countries would gain the roads or hospitals or industries that those foreign
corporations would, as a result, feel confident building.
It works, said Charles Brower, a longtime ISDS arbitrator. Like any system of law, there will be disappointments;
youre dealing with human systems. But this system fundamentally produces as good justice as the federal courts
of the United States. [Not a benchmarch which should be aspired to.]
He defended the lawyers who often serve as arbitrators, saying
they:
"Are very aware of their responsibilities. Unlike

politicians, we are up for election every minute of
every day - somewhere in the world, somebody is
trying to figure out whom to appoint in a case. Were
only as good as our reputations.
As proof that ISDS delivers justice, Brower pointed to a wave of

nationalizations by the Venezuelan government, many while
Hugo Chvez was in charge, that led to:
"Huge awards against them for uncompensated

expropriation.
ISDS has not only put rapacious leaders on notice, its

defenders say, but it has also encouraged investment,
especially in poor countries, helping to raise overall economic
development.
Charles Brower
Some even say that it helps avoid gunboat diplomacy and tense
international showdowns because countries have agreed on a
forum where they can resolve disputes involving major
investments.
But over the last two decades, ISDS has morphed from a rarely used last resort, designed for egregious cases of
state theft or blatant discrimination, into a powerful tool that corporations brandish ever more frequently, often
against broad public policies that they claim crimp profits.
Because the system is so secretive, it is not possible to know the total number of ISDS cases, but lawyers in the field say it is
skyrocketing. Indeed, of the almost 700 publicly known cases across the last half century, more than a tenth were filed just
last year.
Driving this expansion are the lawyers themselves. They have devised new and creative ways to deploy ISDS, and in the
process bill millions to both the businesses and the governments they represent. At posh locales around the globe, members
of The Club meet to swap strategies and drum up potential clients, some of which are household names, such as
ExxonMobil or Eli Lilly, but many more of which are much lower profile.
In specialty publications, the lawyers suggest novel ways to use ISDS as leverage against governments. Its a sort of
sophisticated, international version of the plaintiffs attorney TV ad or billboard: Has your business been harmed by an
increase in mining royalties in Mali? Our experienced team of lawyers may be able to help.
A few of their ideas: Sue Libya for failing to protect an oil facility during a civil war. Sue Spain for reducing solar energy
incentives as a severe recession forced the government to make budget cuts. Sue India for allowing a generic drug company
to make a cheaper version of a cancer drug.
In a little-noticed 2014 dissent, US Chief Justice John Roberts warned that ISDS arbitration panels hold the alarming power
to review a nations laws and effectively annul the authoritative acts of its legislature, executive, and judiciary. ISDS
arbitrators, he continued, can meet literally anywhere in the world and sit in judgment on a nations sovereign acts.
That fate has not yet befallen the United
States - but largely because of sheer luck,
former government lawyers said.
In theory, ISDS arbitrators must follow the

rules laid down in trade pacts.
But in practice, they have interpreted the

vague language of many treaties as
enshrining broad, unwritten rights far beyond
protections against property seizures and
blatant discrimination - even finding, in one
case, a right to a reasonable rate of return.
Some entrepreneurial lawyers scout for ways

to make money from ISDS.
Selvyn Seidel, an attorney who represented

clients in ISDS suits, now runs a specialty
firm, one that finds investors willing to fund
promising suits for a cut of the eventual
award.
Some lawyers, he said, monitor

governments around the world in search of
proposed laws and regulations that might
spark objections from foreign companies.
"Huge awards against them for

uncompensated expropriation.
You know its coming down the

road, he said, so, in that year
before its actually changed, you
can line up the right claimants
and the right law firms to bring a
number of cases.
The US officials who negotiated the Trans-

Pacific Partnership have argued that it
contains new ISDS safeguards, including
opening up hearings and legal filings to the
public.
The changes, however, have loopholes, and

lawyers at some big firms are already
advising clients how they might use the new
deal to their benefit.
Opposition to ISDS is spreading across the

political spectrum, with groups on the left
and right attacking the system.
Around the world, a growing number of

countries are pushing for reforms or pulling
out entirely.
But most of the alarm has been focused on

the potential use of ISDS by corporations to
roll back public-interest laws, such as those
banning the use of hazardous chemicals or
raising the minimum wage.
The systems usefulness as a shield for the
criminal and the corrupt has remained
virtually unknown.
Reviewing publicly available information for

about 300 claims filed during the past five
years, BuzzFeed News found more than 35
cases in which the company or executive
seeking protection in ISDS was accused of
criminal activity, including money laundering,
embezzlement, stock manipulation, bribery,
war profiteering, and fraud.
Among them: a bank in Cyprus that the US

government accused of financing terrorism
and organized crime, an oil company
executive accused of embezzling millions
from the impoverished African nation of
Burundi, and the Russian oligarch known as
the Kremlins banker.
Some are at the center of notorious scandals, from the billionaire accused of orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme in
Mauritius to multiple telecommunications tycoons charged in the ever-widening 2G scam in India, which made it
into Time magazines top 10 abuses of power, alongside Watergate.
The companies or executives involved in these cases either denied wrongdoing or did not respond to requests for comment.
Most of the 35-plus cases are still ongoing. But in at least eight of the cases, bringing an ISDS claim got results for the
accused wrongdoers, including a multimillion-dollar award, a dropped criminal investigation, and dropped criminal charges. In
another, the tribunal has directed the government to halt a criminal case while the arbitration is pending.
Of course, there are governments that dont have clean hands themselves, and some claims by businesses have been
justified. The legal systems of some countries are flagrantly unfair or riddled with corruption.
Moreover, authoritarian or kleptocratic regimes sometimes do use their justice systems as political weapons. For example,
arbitrators ordered Russia to pay compensation after finding that Vladimir Putin and his administration had used criminal and
tax proceedings to destroy his political rival Mikhail Khodorkovskys oil company.
Lawyers say that some governments, faced with a legitimate ISDS claim, will even trump up a criminal charge to deflect from
their own wrongdoing. For example, arbitrators found there was evidence suggesting that Bolivia had launched a fraud case
against mining-company executives as a ploy to get the companys ISDS claim thrown out.
But even some members of The Club said they were concerned by how often credible allegations of criminality arise. Many
ISDS lawyers say that the system helps promote the rule of law around the world.
If ISDS is seen as protecting criminals, they fear, it could delegitimize a system that is working well for many others.
One lawyer who regularly represents governments said hes seen evidence of corporate criminality that he
couldnt believe.
Speaking on the condition that he not be named because hes currently handling ISDS cases, he said;
You have a lot of scuzzy sort-of thieves for whom this is a way to hit the jackpot.

Monsanto Promoting Worldwide Infertility? + Academic GMO Shills Exposed: Fraud

And Collusion With Monsanto
September 6 2016 | From: Sott / NaturalNews
Monsanto has a long and infamous history of manufacturing and bringing to market such
chemicals as DDT, Agent Orange, aspartame, Roundup and dioxin - chemical compounds from
which society continues to feel the effects.
In an effort to distance the current corporation from past deeds, Monsanto refers to the company prior to 2002 as
"the former Monsanto" in their news releases. However, nothing has really changed aside from their PR machine.
While Monsanto has branched into genetic engineering (GE) of plants, the sale of patented GE seeds simply feeds the need
for the company's pesticides. Monsanto is STILL primarily a purveyor of toxins, not life.
Monsanto began forging a unique and financially advantageous relationship with the U.S. government starting with the
company's involvement in the Manhattan Project that produced the first nuclear weapons during World War II. During the
Vietnam War they were the leading producer of Agent Orange.
Related: The Complete History Of Monsanto, The Worlds Most Evil Corporation
The specialization in the production and distribution of toxic chemicals continues today.
Their influence over government runs so deep that despite the fact 64 other countries have been labeling genetically
engineered (GE) foods for years, the U.S. now has the distinction of being the first country to un-label GE foods at
the urging of a company producing mass amounts of GE seeds.
Monsanto and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
In the latter part of the 1920s, Monsanto was the largest producer of PCBs. This chemical was used in lubricant for electric
motors, hydraulic fluids and to insulate electrical equipment. Old fluorescent light fixtures and electrical appliances with PCB
capacitors may still contain the chemical.
During the years PCB was manufactured and used, there were no controls placed on disposal. Since PCBs don't break
down under many conditions, they are now widely distributed through the environment and have made the journey up the
food chain.
Between the inception and distribution of the product and its subsequent ban in the late 1970s, an estimated 1.5 billion
pounds were distributed in products around the world.
Monsanto was the primary manufacturer of PCBs in the U.S. under the trade name Aroclor. Health problems associated
with exposure to the chemical were noted as early as 1933 when 23 of 24 workers at the production plant developed
pustules, loss of energy and appetite, loss of libido and other skin disturbances.
According to Monsanto's public timeline, it was in 1966 that "Monsanto and others began to study PCB persistence in the
environment." However, seven years earlier, Monsanto's assistant director of their Medical Department wrote:
... [S]ufficient exposure, whether by inhalation of vapors or skin contact, can result in chloracne which I think we
must assume could be an indication of a more systemic injury if the exposure were allowed to continue."
In 1967, Shell Oil called to inform Monsanto of press reports from Sweden, noting that PCBs were accumulating in
mammals further up the food chain. Shell asked for PCB samples to perform their own analytical studies.
With full knowledge of the devastation expected to the environment and humanity, it wasn't until 11 years later, in 1977, that
Monsanto reportedly pulled production on PCB.
PCBs Are Probable Human Carcinogens
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National
Toxicology Program, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIEHS) have identified PCBs as either
probable, potential or reasonably likely to cause cancer in humans.
If it seems like these agencies are couching their words, they are. Human studies have noted increased rates of liver
cancer, gall bladder cancer, melanomas, gastrointestinal cancer, biliary tract cancer, brain cancer and breast
cancer when individuals had higher levels of PCB chemicals in their blood and tissue.
However, the EPA limits the ability of researchers to link a chemical as a carcinogen unless there is conclusive proof. While
this proof is evident in animal studies, you can't feed these chemicals to humans and record the results. Thus PCBs are a
"probable" carcinogen in humans.
Other health effects from PCBs include:
Babies born with neurological and motor control delays including lower IQ, poor short-term memory and poor
performance on standardized behavioral assessment tests
Disrupted sex hormones including shortened menstrual cycles, reduced sperm count and premature puberty
Imbalanced thyroid hormone affecting growth, intellectual and behavioral development
Immune effects, including children with more ear infections and chickenpox
Once PCBs are absorbed in the body they deposit in the fat tissue. They are not broken down or excreted. This means the
number of PCBs build over time and move up the food chain. Smaller fish are eaten by larger ones and eventually land on
your dinner table.
Chemical Poisoning Begins Before Birth
A recent study at the University of California demonstrated that PCBs are found in the blood of pregnant women. Before
birth, the umbilical cord delivers approximately 300 quarts of blood to your baby every day.
Not long ago, researchers believed the placenta would shield your developing baby from most pollutants and chemicals.
Now we know it does not.
The umbilical cord is a lifeline between mother and child, sustaining life and propelling growth. However, in recent research
cord blood contained between 200 and 280 different chemicals; 180 were known carcinogens and 217 were toxic to the
baby's developing nervous system.
The deposits of chemicals in your body or the body of your developing baby are called your "body burden" of chemicals and
pollution.
A steady stream of chemicals from the environment during a critical time of organ and system development has a
significant impact on the health of your child, both in infancy and as the child grows to adulthood.
Tracey Woodruff, Ph.D., director of the University of California San Francisco Program on Reproductive Health and the
Environment, was quoted in a press release, saying:
It was surprising and concerning to find so many chemicals in pregnant women without fully knowing the
implications for pregnancy. Several of these chemicals in pregnant women were at the same concentrations that
have been associated with negative effects in children from other studies.
In addition, exposure to multiple chemicals that can increase the risk of the same adverse health outcome can
have a greater impact than exposure to just one chemical."
Butyl Benzyl Phthalate - Another Monsanto Product
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), also manufactured by Monsanto, was recently implicated in cell fat storage. This specific
phthalate was found in human fluids and had an effect on the accumulation of fat inside cells.
BBP is used in the manufacture of vinyl tile, as a plasticizer in PVC pipe, carpets, conveyer belts and weather stripping in
your home and office.
Like other phthalates used in the production of plastics, BBP is not bound to the product and can be released into your
environment. It may be absorbed by crops and move up the food chain. The biggest source of exposure is food.
Drive-through hamburgers and take-out pizzas may be increasing your intake of phthalates. The danger is not in the food
itself but in the products used to handle it. The study analyzed data from nearly 9,000 individuals, finding the one-third who
had eaten at a fast food restaurant had higher levels of two different phthalates.
Potentially, BBP may adversely affect your reproductive function. However, at lower doses it also has an effect on your
kidneys, liver and pancreas. Increased risks of respiratory disorders and multiple myelomas have also been reported in
people who have exposure to products manufactured with BBP. An increasing waistline from BBP exposure may also
reduce your fertility.
Low Sperm Count and Infertility Affecting Animals and Humans
A 26-year study of fertility in dogs, published recently, has distinct similarities to infertility rates in humans. In this study,
researchers evaluated the ejaculate of nearly 2,000 dogs. Over the 26 year period, they found a drop in sperm motility of 2.4
percent per year.
Additionally, both the semen and the testicles of castrated dogs contained by PCBs and phthalates, implicated in other
studies to reduction in fertility. Phthalates have been implicated in both decreased sperm motility and quality of your sperm,
affecting both fertility and the health of your children.
Researchers used dogs in this study as they live in the same environment as their owners, and often eat some of the same
food. This correlation between sperm function and concentration, and environment and food in dogs and humans is
significant.
In those 26 years there was also a rise in cryptorchidism in male pups (a condition where the testicles don't descend into the
scrotum) born to stud dogs who experienced a decline in sperm quality and motility.
Cryptorchidism and undescended testicles, occurs at a rate of 1 in 20 term male human infants and 1 in 3 pre-term babies.
Problems with infertility are also affecting marine animals at the top of the food chain. In the western waters of the Atlantic,
the last pod of Orcas are doomed to extinction. High levels of PCB have been found in the fat of over 1,000 dolphins and
Orcas in the past 20 years. Now taking a toll on the animal's fertility, this pod of Orcas has not reproduced in the 19 years it
has been under study.
Orcas were living in the North Sea until the 1960s. At that time PCB pollution peaked in the area and the Orca whales
disappeared. The same happened in the Mediterranean Sea, where the whales flourished until the 1980s. This pod off the
coast of the U.K. is the last living pod in that area.
Monsanto's Argument in PCB Lawsuits
Although Monsanto denies culpability and knowledge of the danger behind the chemical PCB, you'll discover internal
documentation in this video that they did, in fact, know of the danger while manufacturing and distributing the product.
Monsanto is currently embroiled in several lawsuits across eight cities and the argument is over who owns the rain. The
cities are suing Monsanto in Federal Court, saying PCBs manufactured by Monsanto have polluted the San Francisco Bay.
Monsanto attorney Robert Howard argues that because the city does not own the water rights, the city does not have the
right to sue. And, because the PCBs have not damaged city property, such as corroding pipes, Howard claims it is a state
problem. Scott Fiske, attorney for three cities, countered with the city's regulatory interests in management of storm water as
a fundamental function of the city.
While Fiske claims he can prove Monsanto knew the product was hazardous as early as 1969, Howard maintains the
company should not be liable for the use of the chemicals it produced.
In 2001, Monsanto attorneys in the Owens v. Monsanto case, acknowledged only one health threat from exposure to PCBs:
chloracne, and instead argued that since the entire planet has been contaminated, they are innocent of all liability. The
attorney for Monsanto was quoted in the Chemical Industry Archives, saying:
The truth is that PCBs are everywhere. They are in meat, they are in everyone in the courtroom, they are
everywhere and they have been for a long time, along with a host of other substances."
The cities currently engaged in lawsuits against Monsanto for damage to the environment and waterways include Berkley,
Oakland, San Jose, Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Long Beach and San Diego. All eight cities attempted to combine their
cases against the agrochemical giant but were unsuccessful when one judge found the issues were different enough to
warrant separate cases.
Monsanto's Deep Pockets
Monsanto petitioned the Federal Court to dismiss Portland's lawsuit, claiming it would countersue, adding years to the
process. It is likely Monsanto would increase the scope of the case and include companies who used the product and
released the PCBs.
Meanwhile, three plaintiffs in St. Louis received better news in May 2016 when a jury awarded them a total of $46.5
million, finding Monsanto negligent in the production of PCBs.
This suit claimed Monsanto sold PCBs even after it learned about the dangers, bringing to court internal documents dated
1955, which stated: "We know Aroclors [PCBs] are toxic but the actual limit has not been precisely defined."33 To date this
win over Monsanto has been rare. Williams Kherkher, attorney for the plaintiffs, explained in EcoWatch:
The only reason why this victory is rare is because no one has had the money to fight Monsanto."
Kherkher and other firms pooled their resources in this case and expect wins in upcoming lawsuits. The firm has
accumulated the names of approximately 1,000 plaintiffs with claims against Monsanto and PCBs.

SAD NEWS: House Passes DARK Act Compromise
The House passed a compromise to the DARK Act that will force food distributors to disclose the presence of genetically
engineered (GE) ingredients with a smartphone scan code. President Obama has signed the bill that removes states' rights
for labeling GMOs. The bill is full of loopholes, which may allow genetically modified ingredients to slip through
unannounced.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), aka GE foods, are live organisms whose genetic components have been artificially
manipulated in a laboratory setting through creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and even viral genes
that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.
GMO proponents claim that genetic engineering is "safe and beneficial," and that it advances the agricultural industry. They
also say that GMOs help ensure the global food supply and sustainability.
But is there any truth to these claims? I believe not. For years, I've stated the belief that GMOs pose one of the
greatest threats to life on the planet. Genetic engineering is NOT the safe and beneficial technology that it is touted
to be.

The FDA cleared the way for GE Atlantic salmon to be farmed for human consumption. Thanks to added language in the
federal spending bill, the product will require special labeling so at least consumers will have the ability to identify the GE
salmon in stores. However, it's imperative ALL GE foods be labeled clearly without a smartphone scan code because not
everyone owns a smartphone.
The FDA is threatening the existence of our food supply. We have to start taking action now. I urge you to share this article
with friends and family. If we act together, we can make a difference and put an end to the absurdity.

Boycott Smart Labels Today
When you see the QR code or so-called Smart Label on a food product, pass it by. Products bearing the Grocery
Manufacturer's Association's (GMA) Smart Label mark are in all likelihood filled with pesticides and/or GMO ingredients.
The GMA's 300-plus members include chemical technology companies, GE seed and food and beverage companies.
Monsanto, Dow and Coca-Cola are just some of the heavy-hitters in this powerful industry group, which has showed no
qualms about doing whatever it takes to protect the interest of its members.
Don't waste your time searching through their website, which may or may not contain the information you're looking for. If
they insist on wasting your time and making your shopping difficult, why reward them with a purchase?
A little known fact is that the GMA actually owns the "Smart Label" trademark that Congress has accepted as a so-called
"compromise" to on-package GMO labeling, and that's another reason why I believe the Smart Label mark is the mark of
those with something to hide, such as Monsanto.
Will you financially support a corrupt, toxic and unsustainable food system, or a healthy, regenerative one? There are many
options available besides big-brand processed foods that are part of the "GMA's verified ring of deception."
You can:
Shop at local farms and farmers markets
Only buy products marked either "USDA 100 percent Organic" (which by law cannot contain GMOs), "100 percent
Grass-Fed" or "Non-GMO Verified"
If you have a smartphone and you don't mind using it, download the OCA's Buycott app to quickly and easily
identify the thousands of proprietary brands belonging to GMA members, so you can avoid them, as well as
identify the names of ethical brands that deserve your patronage
Last but not least, encourage good companies to reject QR codes and to be transparent and clear with their labeling. This
will eventually ensure that all GMO foods can easily be identified by the GMA's "verified ring of deception" mark that is the
Smart Label.
Campbell's, Mars, Kellogg's, ConAgra and General Mills all vowed to voluntarily comply with Vermont's GMO labeling law by
labeling all of their foods sold across the U.S.
Will their plans change now that the law has been passed by Congress and signed by the President? That remains to be
seen, but if you like these companies, I would encourage you to reach out to them and ask them to remain steadfast in their
promise.

Few corporations in the world are as loathed - and as sinister - as Monsanto. But the threat it poses to people and planet
could be reaching new heights, as the World Health Organization has recently upgraded Monsanto's main product as
carcinogenic to humans. With protests against the agrochemical giant held in more than 40 countries in May, learn why the
global movement against Monsanto is of critical importance to our future.
In this episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin issues a scathing expose on the corporate polluter, chronicling it's rise to

Academic GMO Shills Exposed: Once-Secret Emails Reveal Gross Collusion With
Monsanto, Academic Fraud At The Highest Levels Inside U.S. Universities
U.S. Right to Know (USRTK), a non-profit organization dedicated to exposing the fraud and
corruption surrounding the food industry, launched an investigation into the intimate and
unethical relationship between the biotech industry and university faculty and staff, which is used
to manipulate public opinion about GMOs and to coerce the government into passing legislation
supportive of Big Ag's patented seeds and pesticides.
The investigation, which is still ongoing, reveals how biotech industry giants Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta, Dow
AgroSciences and others, buy academics employed by taxpayer-funded universities to push GMOs and lobby
Congress to pass legislation favorable of their products, with one of the most high-profile examples including
attempts to derail states' rights to enact GMO-labeling laws.
The collusion between Big Food, its front groups and university staff has been exposed through thousands of emails and
documents obtained through a USRTK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was meticulously filed over a six-
month period.
USRTK: Public deserves to know about flow of money and level of coordination between Big Ag
and public university scientists
The FOIA request sought to obtain emails and documents from 43 public university faculty and staff to learn more about the
biotech industry's public relations strategies. Records were requested from scientists, economists, law professors, extension
specialists and communicators, all of whom are employed by taxpayer-funded public institutions and steadily promote GMO
agriculture under the "independent" research.
Currently, USRTK has received thousands of documents in nine of their requests; however, much more information is
expected to be released as FOIA requests continue to be answered.
The documents received thus far expose how the biotech industry funds expenses for university faculty to travel the globe
promoting and defending GMOs and their associated pesticides, highlighting the shift that scientists have made from being
researchers to being actors in Big Ag PR campaigns.
Named the "Biofortified boys" by Alicia Maluafiti, executive director of Hawaii Crop Improvement Association (HCIA), a
biotech front group, the academics were awarded thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars in
unrestricted grant money.
Dr. Kevin Folta, professor and chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department at the University of Florida, Gainesville, is
one of the biotech industry's most cooperative "Biofortified boys." Emails show that Folta was enlisted to travel to Hawaii and
later to Pennsylvania to "testify to government bodies to oppose proposed mandatory genetically modified labeling
measures."
Folta has repeatedly denied ties to Monsanto or having accepted funds from them; however, newly released documents
prove otherwise, exposing him as a bald-faced liar and attack dog for the biotech industry.
Sponsored and organized by the HCIA, which includes Monsanto, DuPont, Dow AgroSciences, Syngenta and BASF, Folta
and others were recruited to meet with local business execs to lobby against Hawaii's proposed GMO-labeling law.
HCIA's Maluafiti writes:
"So please know that you are part of our overall public education strategy and specifically how do we use your
valuable time wisely while you are here in Hawaii (besides hitting the beaches!) I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Aloha!"
A second email authored by Renee Kester, wife of Dow AgroSciences R&D Leader Kirby Kester, who is also president of
the HCIA, thanks them for their support:
"First off I would like to thank you for all of the support you have given us over here in Hawaii with regards to our
recent legislative battles, it means a lot to all of us over here."
Monsanto asks academics to author articles promoting GMOs
In an effort to influence "thought leaders and influencers," Monsanto reached out to Dr. Folta and other academics, asking
them to author a series of pro-GMO policy briefs to be used for "outreach and engagement with policy makers and
consumers." The briefs were to be promoted as being authored by "independent scientists."
Eric Sachs, the chief of Monsanto's global scientific affairs group wrote:
"The key to success is participation by all of you recognized experts and leaders with the knowledge,
reputation and communication experience needed to communicate authoritatively to the target groups."
"You represent an elite group whose credibility will be strengthened by working together."
Recognizing participants' careers are at stake, Sachs offers the academics assurance by promising that he will protect their
"independence," as well as their reputations.
Some of the topics the academics were asked to write on include:
Meeting World Challenges (discuss how GMOs will save the world by addressing shrinking agricultural resources, food
security, food affordability and environmental sustainability).
Stifling Innovation (discuss how GM crop regulations stifle technological advancements and prevent GMOs from
improving overall quality of life).
Holding Activists Accountable assigned to Kevin Folta (discuss how anti-GMO activist campaigns spread false
information and if left unchallenged will limit consumer choice, increase food prices, decrease farmer viability and undermine
global food security).
GM Crop Safety (address consumer and policy maker concerns that GM crops aren't tested for safety, convince public
that they are proven safe).
Consequences of Rejecting GM Crops (address public health fears and political resistance and concerns about
biodiversity and biological safety and intellectual property rights that create barriers to GM acceptance).
Sustainable Crop Systems (discuss how GM crop technology provides environmental benefits, increases yields and
improves productivity).
Responsible Choice (highlight the role GM crop technology plays in ensuring increase production and how it balances
our needs for food, feed, fiber and fuel). Academics were asked to include a "call to action," which would be used in the
briefs to influence the public on a variety of platforms including social media, blogs, websites and allied organizations.
Montano enlists university scientists to pressure EPA to abandon proposed pesticide regulations
Documents reveal that Monsanto also used academics to put pressure on regulatory agencies like the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in one instance pressuring the EPA to abandon its proposal to tighten regulations regarding
pesticide use on insect-resistant crops.
"Is there a coordinated plan to maintain pressure and emphasis on EPA's evolving regulations?" asked Sachs in
an email to Dr. Bruce Chassy, a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign.
Sachs continued, "Have you considered having a small group of scientists request a meeting with Lisa Jackson
[referring to the EPA's administrator at the time]?"
With the help of an industry lobbyist, Chassy was eventually able to set up a meeting with Jackson, after which the agency's
proposal was ultimately dropped.
Stay tuned for more as Natural News continues to dissect documents exposing the incestuous relationship between the
biotech industry and university scientists.

How To Stay Rich In Europe: Inherit Money For 700 Years

September 5 2016 | From: Bloomberg
The richest Florentine families in 1427 still are: New research shows Europe leads the world in
inherited wealth.
Lamberto Frescobaldi sets two wine glasses atop a wooden barrel in the spacious cellar of his company's winery in
a 1,000-year-old castle not far from Florence. Uncorking a bottle of Nipozzano, he takes a sip and nods. The red that
his family supplied to Michelangelo and Pope Leo X still tastes pretty darn good.
Related: The Venetian Black Nobility And The Concept Of Oligarchy
To Frescobaldi, 53, directing the family business is something of a trust. Its a way to preserve a dynasty that began with
wool traders in about the year 1000 and made its money financing the English crown almost 200 years later.
You have to feel that what you have inherited, you actually do not own, he said, seated on a wine cask.
You only have to run it properly, and to carry on to something else.
Maintaining inherited wealth has worked for generations of Frescobaldis over 700 years, and it has let the descendants of
Jakob Fugger in Germany continue to run the social-housing complex the Emperors banker founded almost half a
millennium ago.
Its less of a blessing for Europe as a whole, where family fortunes are more prevalent than in the U.S. or Asia [not
correct regarding Asia]. Their relatively high level is a sign of the continents low social mobility, keeping education, income
and social connections from evolving over generations.
Lamberto Frescobaldi
The richest Florentine families today were already at the top of the socioeconomic ladder almost 600 years ago, according
to a recent study by the Bank of Italy.
And research by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that in many European countries, not
only wealth and income but even occupations tend to be sticky, passed on from generation to generation.
More than one-third of Italys richest people inherited their fortunes, compared with just 29 percent in the U.S. and 2 percent
in China, according to a 2014 study of the worlds billionaires by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Germany
has the highest share of inheritor-billionaires among developed economies, 65 percent. Overall, heirs and heiresses make
up about half of Western Europes billionaires.
Europes income classes arent much more rigid than in the U.S. The lack of social mobility is more of a concern, though,
because economic output and the number of available jobs are smaller.
The U.S. has grown 9.9 percent in real terms since 2007; the comparable figure for the European Union over the same
period, based on Eurostat data, is 2.8 percent. Gross domestic product per capita in the EU is almost one-third lower than in
the U.S when adjusted for purchasing power; the unemployment rate is nearly twice that of the U.S.
Because Americas economy is expanding, they need more engineers, more chemists, more economists, more analysts,
more bankers than in Europe, said Antonio Schizzerotto, professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Trento and
scientific director of the Research Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies in the same city. The number of positions
open is higher than the number of sons and daughters of.
At a time when some European economies are stalling, wealth and social inheritance must be closely watched because if
inequality reaches a certain limit, it can further constrain countries' ability to revive growth, Schizzerotto said.
For Frescobaldi, the family patrimony can be summed up in one word: wine. His first experience with red came at the age of
six, when he got drunk and fainted at a summer party with vineyard workers.
I almost feel a little bit more like a trustee,'' said Fugger-Babenhausen, head of one the three surviving family
branches that still run the housing complex through a foundation.
As for the family business, I become very frugal in what I take for myself.
They couldnt give me water, I was the son of the boss! he said.
Today, after getting a degree in viticulture at the University of California, Davis, he chairs a company, Marchesi Frescobaldi
Group, that produces 11 million bottles a year, one of the biggest in Italy. He even named his dog Brunello, after the
Brunello di Montalcino the company makes.
Nipozzano Castle, owned by the Frescobaldi family
Before entering winemaking in 1308, the Frescobaldis were wool traders and bankers, financing King Edward Is wars in
Wales and France. The family - which also built Florences first-ever bridge, Santa Trinita -- also includes Girolamo
Frescobaldi, one of the main composers of keyboard music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, as well as
poet Dino Frescobaldi.
The latter collected and conserved the first seven Canti of the Divine Comedy for Dante Alighieri when he was sent to exile,
allowing him to complete the work.
The Frescobaldis long lineage is hardly unique in Florence, Tuscanys capital. Bank of Italy researchers Guglielmo Barone
and Sauro Mocetti compared tax records of Florentine taxpayers in 1427 and 2011 to track inter-generational mobility, and
found that there was meaningful persistence of socioeconomic status across the centuries.
Piazza di Santa Croce in Florence
The huge political, demographic and economic upheavals that have occurred in the city across the centuries were
not able to untie the Gordian knot of socioeconomic inheritance, the authors wrote.
Germany may be prone to even more concentrations of inherited wealth, research shows.
In hardly any other country does social origin influence ones income as much as in Germany, wrote Marcel
Fratzscher, head of the Berlin-based German Institute for Economic Research, in a recent book.
The richest citizens are also those with the highest income. For to everyone who has, more shall be given.
Count Alexander Fugger Babenhausen
Germanys high share of family wealth is in part a consequence of a tax system that until this year allowed family-owned
businesses - including a large proportion of the medium-sized companies that are the backbone of its economy - to pass on
their financial assets while paying almost no estate tax.
Count Alexander Fugger-Babenhausen, a descendant of arguably Europes richest man in the 16th century, says
maintaining the fortunes integrity is a responsibility. The 34-year old returned to Germany to manage the familys wealth
and charitable activities after working in investment banking and private equity in London.
Its not the fast-lived, dynamic sector that forces you to take high risks, he said at the Fuggerei, the affordable-
housing complex founded by Jakob Fugger in 1521.
In every decision we make for the Fuggerei, we try to consider that and be prudent. It would be disastrous if a
mistake brought sustainability to an end after 19 generations.
The Fuggerei social housing complex in Augsburg, Germany
Jakob Fugger ordered the construction of the Fuggerei to give back to his city, and try to save his soul in the meantime.
Those living in the complex of cozy, two-story terrace houses pay a yearly rent of 0.88 euros, as per Fugger's decree that
the cost be one Rhenish florin, and must make three daily prayers for the founders soul and family.
Similarly, the Frescobaldis, who since the Renaissance have commissioned works from artists such as Filippo Brunelleschi,
have introduced a contemporary art award called Artists for Frescobaldi. For this project, 999 special bottles are produced
every year and some of the proceeds are reinvested to support contemporary art.
A bronze bust of Jakob Fugger, founder of the Fuggerei social housing complex, stands in a communal garden area in Augsburg, Germany
The Fuggereis 140 apartments have survived innumerable wars and partial destruction during World War II. While they
have been renovated, they still follow the original floor plans and feature some unique Renaissance decor, such as a lever-
activated door-opening mechanism that in the past let tenants allow visitors in without leaving the apartments only heated
room.
I almost feel a little bit more like a trustee,'' said Fugger-Babenhausen, head of one the three surviving family
branches that still run the housing complex through a foundation. As for the family business, I become very frugal

The War On Cash & The Politics Of Negative Interest Rates

September 4 2016 | From: FinalWakeUpCall / ProjectSyndicate
Wealth confiscation: The War on Cash and negative interest rates are radical and insane
measures. They are a sign of desperation.
They are also huge threats to your financial security. Central planners are playing with fire and inviting a currency
catastrophe. Most people have no idea what really happens when a currency collapses, let alone how to prepare.
Related: The Real Reasons Behind Negative Interest Rates And Banning Cash
Throughout the Western world the financial system has become an exploiter of the people and a deadweight loss on
economies. There are only two possible solutions. One is to break the large banks up into smaller and local entities such as
existed prior to the bank deregulation. The other is to nationalise them and operate them solely in the interest of the general
welfare of the population.
However, the TBTF-banks are too powerful for either solution to be allowed to occur. But the greed, fraud, and self-serving
behaviour of Western financial systems, aided and subsidised by governments, could be leading to such a complete
breakdown of economic life, that the idea of a private financial system will become as unacceptable in the future as Nazism
is today.
Meanwhile, it should be clear that the RKM-cabal want you to use money that they can easily control, tax, and confiscate
and paper currency is getting in their way. Governments are instructed to confiscate your wealth, by steadily debasing the
currency via printing money or in other words inflation. Its a stealthy way to confiscate from savers and hard working
people.
Imagine the car you have paid to someone before driving off. Imagine the rent to be paid to someone before moving into a
home. When you pay someone to take their claim off your hands, you experience how much your money really is worth.
Eliminate Paper Currency:
Governments might collectively attempt to eliminate paper currency in favour of an electronic currency transferred from
party to party solely through licensed banks. Sound farfetched? Well, maybe, but what if the U.S. and EU agreed on an
overall plan, and then suggest it to other governments?
On the face of it, this may seem like a conspiracy theory, but all governments would benefit from this control and would be
likely to get on board. They might say that this will prove to be the only way out of their present economic problems.
And when your bank the RKM-cabal wants to confiscate your money, who will stop them from implementing the P-R-
S myth: Problem Reaction Solution, that links the free movement of cash to terrorism, creating a consciousness that any
movement of large sums of money suggests criminal activity?
Designate a maximum amount of money that may be moved without reporting to some government investigatory agency;
Periodically lower these limits; Accustom people to making all purchases, however small or large, with a bank card; Create a
consciousness that the mere possession of cash is suspect, since its no longer necessary.
And thus start; the War on Cash.
Running out of Time:
Governments are running out of time. The one reason why theyd rush a programme that normally would be given more time
for people to accept, is that they see a crash coming before the completion of their new programme to be implemented.
The next step is the intent of creating a definitive false flag event that demonstrates how physical cash is the primary means
of funding evil acts in the world so that they can declare a date on which paper currency will become illegal. Until that date, it
may be deposited into a bank.
Thereafter, it will become criminal to possess it. Once all cash has been deposited in the banks, negative interest rates
will be increased, as interest rates can only be lowered further if cash currency is banned; Confiscation of deposits can
then be implemented, as desired by banks, because recently the confiscation of deposits has been legalised in Canada, the
U.S., New Zealand, the EU and other countries.;
Confiscate contents of selected safe deposit boxes; End voluntary taxation. All taxation will in future be by direct debit;
Declare money to be the property of the State that issued it, as people are only allowed to trade with it, but it is not truly
theirs. The State therefore can freeze or confiscate the funds in any account, if any crime is suspected.
Once completed, state wealth control will exist. This may seem a mere fiction. But then, less than a year ago, the War on
Cash was regarded by only a few as being even within the realm of possibility, let alone right around the corner. Now it is
accepted as being an unsettling reality.
If you have cash in a bank, dont think of it as your own. This is not the case. It is wealth that you have loaned to the bank.
In the near future, the bank, with governmental approval, will have the power to decide if and when they return all, or a part
of this cash to you. They will set the rules as to how this decision will be determined and the rules will be changed
periodically.
At least if you possess your money in cold, hard cash, they will have to come and physically get it from you. When it is in
the bank existing in the form of electronic account balances all they have to do is push a button.
Thats what happened in Cyprus. The banks were about to fall off the cliff so they confiscated deposits to help make
themselves whole again. Who will stop the same thing from happening again wherever you may reside?
The judge is RKM appointed. The police are on the RKMs payroll. The politicians are RKM bought and paid-off to do what is
required by them. When cash is outlawed, only outlaws will have cash. And the best advice to you is; intend to be among
them.
Escape Confiscation:
Seek alternatives, the War on Cash will be international, but it wont be fully global. There will still be jurisdictions that,
following tradition, will not fall in line with the worlds foremost powers. They will not wish to go off the same cliff as the
others and will take a different course. They will be the safe havens for those people who seek to escape the collapsing
system.
If youre a resident of any country thats presently going down this anti-cash road, move your money to a jurisdiction that has
a consistent history of a stable government, low, or no direct taxation, and minimal interference or regulation of wealth;
Convert your wealth into those forms of assets that are most difficult for greedy governments to confiscate, like foreign-held
precious metals and real estate.
Only a tiny fraction of the population owns gold. This wasnt the case in 1933, when the U.S. was still on a variation of the
original gold standard. This is why the government will probably not repeat the 1933 rip-off. Its simply not worth the effort.
If governments want to confiscate wealth, its far more likely they will go for the easy option, by steadily debasing the
currency by printing money, in other words: Inflation. Its a stealthy way of confiscating from savers. This does not mean
gold owners are invincible.
This time, governments are likely to try a new scam: taxing windfall profits on gold. This would make it much easier for
governments to accomplish something similar to its 1933 heist. In short, they will apply a windfall taxation on profits they
dont like.
The whole concept is a scam. It is camouflaged, legalized theft. If the price of gold explodes, Parliaments will pass a Fair
Share Gold Windfall Profit Tax Act, levying a tax of 80%, to 90%, or more on gold profits.
Fortunately, there are some practical steps be taken in order to protect yourself from this form of politically motivated
expropriation. When such a law is discussed in Parliament, its time to sell your gold, or better still, move your gold
beforehand into a tax-free jurisdiction zone.
What is most important is that governments cannot destroy golds value with reckless policies. Their destructive actions only
lead people to buy more gold.
Ousting the Cabal:
Germany, after Turkey has turned its back on the Khazarians and NATO, with its largest European base in Ramstein, now
the 2nd closure is, after the NATO base in Turkey, both of which are actively used by the Bushes and Clinton for drugs
smuggling activities include opium from Afghanistan into Western markets to prop up finances.
The Germans decided for this decisive break with the RKM-mafia, after receiving a request for a massive false flag attack on
its territory involving Angela Merkel, creating the argument for attacking Russia and start WW3.
Good willing leaders in Germany decided to refuse this request and to allying themselves with the Russians. Effectively,
joining the UK and Turkey in a Western led move against the RKM controlled US-government, while ordering citizens to
stockpile 10 days worth of emergency food supplies in preparation for a war of independence, for which the German
government is mobilising 600,000 militias.
So the good news is; Germany separates itself as a Khazarians vassal state.
Schnell! Schnell!
That is a huge blow to the RKM, after the first failed coup in Turkey earlier on. Expect similar moves in many other countries
during this autumn, watch France, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Brazil among other countries that are going to follow.
Russia is aware of all this, and has mobilised itself too. Merkel appears to have lost effective power, accordance to
statements made by her vice president on Sunday, and the Minster of Trade who said that TTIP is finished and off the table.
Mr. Brexit Nigel Farage Speaks at Donald Trumps Rally in Jackson, MS - USA:
There is hope, as the ordinary people stand up and fight the big banks. We did it on June 23rd when we smashed the
establishment. Not wanting to be run by a bunch of unelected old men in Brussels. They told us our economy would fall off a
cliff. We might even well get WW3.
We reached those people that felt let down by government. We have taken back our country and our borders and self
respect.

U.S. Elites Are Losing All Their Power:
In the video below, Dr Willie explains that not if, but WHEN the United States Dollar loses its status as the Global Reserve
Currency, the U.S. government will be forced to increase its activities in an area most dont like to talk about: its narcotic
sales.
The United States government does a tremendous amount of narcotic trafficking around the world, but it will be forced to do
even more so, because their economy is already in a shambles, and their military still devours over $800 BILLION per year
to be maintained.
Under Obama the economy has grown at an average of 1.5% annually, and that is using the numbers Obama provides,
which means in all likelihood, that the economy has actually been shrinking throughout his entire term. It is known that
Obama tends not to be honest about much of anything.
Turkey has quietly turned East, and Germany is slowly following suit, frustrating NATO in the process, eliminating the
largest NATO base in Europe, in Ramstein, Germany. This will be the second base to be withdrawn after Turkey, both
bases heavily involved in drug trafficking for the Bushes and Clintons.
The Politics Of Negative Interest Rates

Yanis Varoufakis: Objects of desire come at a cost. Only bad things, like toxic waste, have a
negative price, the equivalent of a fee payable to anyone willing to make them disappear. Does this
mean that negative interest rates embody a new perspective on money that it has gone bad?
In market economies, money is the measure of the value of goods and services. And the interest rate is the price of
that metric of money itself. When the price is zero, it makes no difference whether money is kept under a mattress
or lent, because there is no cost to holding or borrowing cash.
Related: DiEM25: Bring it on!
But how can the price of money which, after all, makes the world go round, or, as Karl Marx put it, transforms all my
incapacities into their contrary be zero? And how can it possibly ever become negative, as it now is in much of the global
economy, with the worlds moneyed people bribing governments to borrow from them more than $5.5 trillion?
The answer can only be of a type that economists loathe: philosophical, political, and thus irreducible to neat positivist
explanation. In other words, the answer must concern the essence of money.
In a farmers market, sellers with many unsold potatoes start dropping the price until a level is reached (possibly very low,
but still positive) at which all of the potatoes are bought. In contrast, since the 2008 global financial crisis, every time the
price of money has been reduced, demand for it falls and excess savings rise. Clearly, money is not like potatoes or any
other well-defined thing.
To understand how money can be our societies supreme good while fetching a negative price, it helps to start with the
realization that, unlike potatoes, money has no intrinsic private value. Its utility comes from what its holder can make others
do. Money, to recall Lenins definition of politics, is about who does what to whom.
Imagine you are an entrepreneur with money in the bank, or have a bank eager to lend large sums to invest in your
business. You spend sleepless nights wondering whether you should invest in a new product that is, whether you should
exploit your access to money to cause an array of others to work on your behalf.
In our current Great Deflation, what worries you most is your customers future purchasing power and sentiment. Will they
be able and willing to buy your new product at high enough prices and quantities?
Suppose that, sleep-deprived, you then switch on the radio or TV only to hear that US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen
and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi are considering reducing interest rates further. Will you rejoice at the
prospect that your financing costs will fall? Will you be motivated to invest your own money now that it earns lower (perhaps
even negative) interest?
No and no. Your reaction is most likely to be one of alarm: Oh, my God! If Janet and Mario are considering another interest-
rate cut, they must have good reason to believe that demand will remain low!
So you abandon your investment plan. Better to borrow money at almost no cost, you think, and buy back a few more of
my companys shares, boost their price, earn more on the stock exchange, and bank the profits for the rainy days that are
coming.
And so it is that the price of money falls, even as the supply of it burgeons. Central bankers who never predicted the Great
Deflation are now busily trying to find a way out with economic and econometric models that could never explain it, let alone
point to solutions.
Unwilling to question the political dogma that central banks must be apolitical, they refuse to think of money as more than a
thing. And so they continue the search for a technocratic fix to a problem crying out for a philosophically astute political
solution.
Its a futile quest. Once the price of money (interest rates) hit zero, central banks tried buying mountains of public and
private debt from commercial banks to give them an incentive to lend freely. The ECB went so far as to pay banks to lend to
business while, at the same time, punishing them for not lending (via negative interest rates for excess reserves).
But bankers and businesses, viewing these measures as desperate responses to self-fulfilling deflationary expectations,
went on an investment strike, while using the central-bank money to inflate the prices of their own assets (stocks, art, real
estate, and so forth).
This did nothing to defeat the Great Deflation; it only made the rich richer, an outcome that somehow reinforced central
bankers belief in central bank independence.
Not all central bankers, thankfully, are incapable of responding creatively to the Great Deflation. Andy Haldane, Chief
Economist at the Bank of England, has courageously suggested that all money should become digital, which would permit
real-time negative interest rates to be imposed on all of us, thus forcing everyone to spend at once.
John Williams, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, recently argued that the Great Deflation
could be beaten only by targeting the price level and nominal national income simultaneously a New Deal-like approach
featuring joint action by the Fed and the government.
What separates these central bankers from the herd is their readiness to jettison the myth of independent monetary policy,
to accept that money is the most political of commodities, to challenge the sanctity of cash, and to concede that defeating
the Great Deflation requires a progressive policy agenda.
Simone Weil once said, If you want to know what a man is really like, take notice of how he acts when he loses money.
Likewise, if we want to know what our societies are really like, we must take notice of how they react to negative interest
rates.

Kim Dotcom Wins Bid To Livestream On YouTube His Extradition Appeal

September 1 2016 | From: TVNZ
Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has won a bid to livestream on YouTube his battle against
extradition to the United States.
The 42-year-old Megaupload founder has this week returned to court to appeal a decision allowing him to be
extradited from New Zealand over criminal copyright charges.
Related: Genius move: Live-stream file-sharing chaos will play into Dotcoms hands
Comment: The final outcome of this court case here in New Zealand right now ultimately will decide the freedom
of the entire global Internet as we know it!
On top of that, at issue is national sovereignty, and whether multinational corporations can be allowed to
manipulate the sovereign laws of one country or through international trade agreements etc. to take precedence
over the sovereign laws of another independent country in this case New Zealand.
Incredibly, against strong opposition from the US Government yesterday, the judge is allowing this appeal trial to
be live-streamed to the world on YouTube, starting today, but as yet, I havent been able to find it.
So all this means, if the live-streaming goes ahead, the multinational corporate media cannot CENSOR the truth
about the case as they have been.
Today, the presiding judge gave permission for the entire six weeks of the appeal hearing to be broadcast on YouTube by a
cameraman hired by Dotcom.
Between the direct effect on millions of Megaupload users as well as the precedent the case would set, the public interest
merited complete coverage standard media channels could not provide, Dotcom's lawyer, Ron Mansfield, had argued at the
High Court in Auckland.

This is a case of the internet age," he said.
Lawyers for the United States oppose the livestream, saying Dotcom was not sufficiently accountable for the coverage - as a
media organisation would be - and that the footage could prejudice a criminal case in the US if the extradition went ahead.
But Justice Murray Gilbert allowed the stream to go ahead, on the grounds the comments and live-chat features for the
video were disabled, the video was taken down after the trial and the broadcast was delayed for 20 minutes to avoid
publishing of sensitive material.
"This is breaking new ground. New Zealand at the forefront of transparent justice! Leadership!" Dotcom tweeted
moments later.
The livestream will start tomorrow. In December, Judge Nevin Dawson ruled Dotcom and his three associates - Mathias
Ortmann, Finn Batato and Bram van der Kolk - had criminal charges to face in the US over their part in running file-sharing
website Megaupload.
The four men face charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to commit money laundering, wire fraud and
two kinds of criminal copyright infringement based on an FBI investigation going back to 2010.
If extradited and found guilty in the US, the men could be up for decades in jail.
The Overthrow Of America - By Its Enemies Within

August 30 2016 | From: Sott
My recent article exposes a brand new propaganda infomercial starring Angelina Jolie and 15
other high profile card-carrying members of the treasonous elitist "think tank" the Council on
Foreign Relations.
I outed the its obvious attempt at an image makeover, upgrading its Mr. Burns-David Rockefeller image of wrinkled,
old white men ruling the world to a new generation of bright young stars brilliantly working together to solve the
planet's most daunting challenges and problems facing humanity in the 21st century.
Yet a brief US history of the last 100 years with a more detailed focus on the last decade and a half since 9/11 reveals the
true story in plain sight of how infiltrated traitors within our own government have long had scheming eyes on their sinister
prize of one world government tyranny.
Council on Foreign Relations' new PR video - that still can't undo its NWO one world government agenda
This article will demonstrate how a subhuman class of murderous psychopaths epitomized in the modern day era by the
likes of the Bush-Clinton-Obama-CIA crime cabal family have treasonously overthrown America's democratic republic and
replaced it with today's technocratic fascist totalitarian police state oligarchy.
But the story could just as easily begin the same year America's Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence
in July 1776. Another historically significant figure in Bavaria in southern Germany barely two months earlier was busy
founding the secret Order of the Illuminati.
The son of a rabbi but trained in Jesuit tradition he later came to despise, German philosopher Adam Wieshaupt dabbled in
Freemasonry and the Cabbala before developing his own secret society. With fellow Jewish [read: Khazarian
Zionist] Rothschild money, they plotted an ambitious, highly subversive plan for their anti-Catholic secret society of elitists to
implement global governance.
Influenced by both ancient Talmudic roots and Egyptian occult nearly two and a half centuries ago, prior to the United States
even becoming a sovereign, independent nation, Weishaupt and his "illumined" order already identified the three major
barriers deemed the true enemy of one world government.
For well over a century traitors within the US federal government have persistently sought to undermine and vanquish
Weishaupt's three declared enemy obstacles to one world government - American citizens' love of God and their
predominant Christian religion, patriotic love of country and national sovereignty, and love of family and parents that include
private property inheritance.
What is striking is that Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto also calls for abolishment of family, private property,
countries/nationalities and religion as well. One world government is the fait accompli umbrella that unites Marxists, Zionists,
Fabian Socialists, the United Nations, the EU, the Parliamentary Group for World Government, Trilateral Commission, CFR,
Bilderberg Group, Trans-Pacific Partnership, the TTIP, the Vatican and the World Council of Churches.
Obviously this globalist agenda has been winning on all accounts, overcoming aforementioned barriers targeted centuries
earlier. Subsequently with the direction this nation has taken since 9/11 under the Bush-Obama regime, the US populace is
more confused, polarized and conflicted than ever before.
The ruling elite has historically used US Empire to do its dirty bidding as both global bully and nation exterminator. From
behind a thinly veiled curtain, the CFR's been the Intel handler directing all US wars in a nonstop foreign policy conquest
of global unipolar hegemony for the last 95 years now.
The same founders of the 1921 Council on Foreign Relations a few years earlier had deceitfully snuck through their secret
Jekyll Island masterplan called the Federal Reserve Act as its financial WMD on the eve of Christmas Eve 1913 right after
most Congress members had already left Washington on holiday break.
Thus a band of powerful thieves was stealthily successful in infiltrating the government and hijacking America on their way
to destroying our democratic republic. For good measure, during that same fateful year that our republic took it first fatal
blow, they also finagled passage of their unconstitutional "1%" Federal Income Tax Act when they took license to begin
stealing, misappropriating and bleeding working class Americans dry while monopolizing mega-giant corporations enjoy tax-
free, corporate welfare subsidies.
The US government oligarchy squeezes ten times more out of overburdened taxpayers for obscene corporate welfare
programs than for welfare for America's most poverty-stricken families. The rich get richer while a growing disenfranchised
class of Americans are thrown to the Wall Street wolves as purged useless eaters as part of the elite's eugenics endgame.
Once their Ponzi schemed 1913 Federal Reserve Act was in place, it took the parasitic traitors only a few months
to began what was to become history's deadliest "war to end all wars" killing 17 million people. Little more than a decade
later the bankers' intentionally manipulated the Great Depression and the treasonous failed coup of 1934 that "war is a
racket" General Smedley Butler heroically stopped and exposed.
Then the banking vultures like George W's grandpa Prescott Bush turned to financing Hitler's rise to power in order to cause
history's bloodiest of all wars in WWII killing over 60 million, followed immediately by the elite's contrived cold war against
their next bankrolled enemy the Communists that included both the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Fact based evidence clearly shows time and time again that all of America's wars have been brought to us exclusively by
the bankster gangsters who hijacked our government a century ago and been in the driver's seat ever since.

In 1913 private bankers were able to seize control over America's money supply, allowing them to print it out of thin air and
over the years loaning the government trillions of dollars the US taxpayers would forever be footing the bill to pay
off interests on all those war loan debts and big government pork barrel spending that keep mounting into the colossal,
unpayable US debt (standing at near $20 trillion that's doubled under Obama to match all previous presidencies
combined!).
The corrupt system of thievery has taxpayers paying for wars that bankers create, always financing both sides as in
Germany's pre-WWI militarization and the Bolshevik Revolution and later Hitler's prewar rise to power. Washington and its
allies have been busted for all along secretly funding America's so called war on terror enemy - the al Qaeda/ISIS terrorists.
By elite design, virtually every military conflict in US history has been intentionally started by bankers using false flag
operations as their deceptive pretext for nonstop war 93% of the time.
After inventing al Qaeda (then mujahedeen) as paid CIA mercenaries that proved instrumental in breaking up the Soviet
Empire in the "graveyard of empires" Afghanistan throughout the 1980's, and again throughout the 90's balkanizing a
shattered Yugoslavia into a half dozen broken pieces, Washington's Zionist neocons in control of foreign policy then decided
to reinvent al Qaeda and their hitherto proxy war ally Osama bin Laden as the latest post-Soviet era bogeymen - Islamic
terrorists.
Using 19 box-cutting patsies on 9/11 led not by Osama but by CIA and 9/11 mastermind and former CFR president who was
then Vice President Dick Cheney, with direct assistance from both Israel's Mossad as well as the Saudi government, the
infamous Bush regime traitors sloppily staged their pre-plotted PNAC "new Pearl Harbor" as the biggest false flag in history
on 9/11 murdering 3,000 of their own citizens and, in one fell swoop, began scapegoating over 2 billion Muslims worldwide
in order to launch their "endless war on terror" that's still raging stronger than ever today.
Their inside 9/11 job along with their anthrax terrorism (produced in a federal lab) was then used to rush through their Patriot
Act, already pre-penned by the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war criminal chain gang to finish the task begun back in 1913
to destroy the US as a democratic republic . The same secret societies like the Freemasons, Skull and Bones disciples and
CFR lifers that infiltrated and hijacked our federal government a century earlier are even more firmly in control today.
The Bush-Clinton-Obama crime cabal dynasty has been calling the shots ever since the assassination of John F. Kennedy,
and they're currently in the final stages of implementing their long awaited one world government tyranny. Recognizing that
Americans are finally catching on to their endless crime cabal debauchery, the globalists are rushing to their NWO finish
line.
A year after 9/11-Patriot Act inside job, the Department of Homeland Security artificially emerged to ostensibly protect
Americans, but like all things Orwellian, does exactly the opposite. As part of the bloated, self-serving, bureaucratic security
state apparatus, and terminal cancer to our lost democratic republic, it's done little to none in stopping terrorism.
What it does do is purge any records linking the Muslim Brotherhood to terrorism. Local San Bernardino and nearby Orlando
Fort Myers mosques that had connections to the alleged false flag shooters were ordered erased. DHS has been repeatedly
caught bussing unvetted illegal aliens from Somalia and who knows where else.
The Orlando shooter was employed for nearly a decade at the world's largest private security company GS4 that's under
contract with DHS transporting illegals from the border into America's heartland as part of its catch and release policy.
An eyewitness video captured a UPS plane under the cover of darkness flying in human cargo presumably from the Middle
East, loading them onto 30 busses and whisking them away from the Harrisburg, PA airport. State governors are
complaining Obama is secretly sending refugees into states without even notifying the governors.
With 6,227 Syrian refugees arriving this year as of July, Obama promised the UN he'd take in an additional 10,000 Syrians
by the end of next month. Fulfilling promises to the global elite and UN obviously mean everything, unlike all his broken
campaign promises like transparency to the American people. During Obama's first five years in office alone, green cards
were issued to 680,000 immigrants arriving from Muslim nations.
Each year the US admits a quarter million Muslim migrants. Thanks to our treasonous commander-in-chief, unvetted and set
free, ISIS cells in America are alive and well.
For the first time in a decade, near half the total refugees arriving in the US this year are Muslims outnumbering Christians.
Obama's open border policy has DHS ordering Border Patrol officers to stand down, permitting known drug traffickers and
MS13 criminal gang members to freely enter and commit crimes against Americans.
DHS is treasonously working with the UN to allow criminals and potential terrorists into our country at the same time DHS is
targeting law abiding citizens who happen to be patriots, veterans, gun owners, constitutionalists and dissidents as its
homegrown enemy.
Meanwhile, returning to those three sworn Illuminati enemies, through mass media propaganda and the likes of fourth wave
feminism and the LBGT-PC agenda, the elite's been busily engaging in social engineering that has globally undermined
male-female relations, confused gender roles and sexuality, and subsequently by design seriously weakened the family
bond.
As a former licensed therapist working within the child welfare system, I can attest to deep state authoritarianism
perpetrated by overzealous child protective services Nazis that wrongfully break up families and further abuse children who
were my victimized clients.
Oppressive overreach in both education and social services at federal, state and county levels has clearly usurped
autonomous rights of America's parents. The "progressive" idea being pushed nowadays insists that children no
longer belong to their parents but the globalized community.
Much has been written about the subversive forces of social indoctrination heavily tainted in communist and socialist
ideology now being so aggressively deployed by the so called progressive left. As an example, the Obama
administration coerced 46 out of 50 states into accepting Common Core standards as a condition to receiving much needed
federal aid funding.
The systemic brainwash of today's youth through a purposely dumbed down public education system is insidiously polluting
impressionable young minds with Common Core garbage.
The collectivist dogma frowns upon individuality and individual achievement as one's value is only as good as one's
contribution and benefit toward the collective group. Unthinking conformity, group mindset and the Political Correctness
agenda have suppressed, stifled and supplanted critical thinking, innate creativity and natural inquiry in pursuit of truth that
dare questions authority.
The brainwash factory in America goes to work early on in our schools to churn out mindless little robots who simply do what
they're told as zombified cogs in the factory wheel, only to find out that when they graduate the factory's been
closed, outsourced overseas for cheaper slave labor.
For over a decade US Homeland Security Department and FEMA have been recruiting and training America's clergy to align
as deep state propagandist oppressors during a national emergency under martial law. Many religious leaders have sold out
on both God and their flock of worshippers to covertly join forces with the feds' treasonous authoritarian tyranny.
In order to retain their 501c3 IRS tax-exempt status, churches, synagogues, temples and mosques across America have
been co-opted into nefariously leading their religious followers to the eugenics slaughterhouse, consequently forcing pastors
and clerics to betray their own spiritual principles and teachings as taught by Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha.
Per a whistleblowing pastor, FEMA enlisted the biblical passage Romans 13 as the preaching talking point to use in
sermons to brainwash their congregations into blindly obeying both them and the federal authorities as preparation for the
[intended] coming crises.
It's an over-the-top, all too obvious government ploy to turn community religious leaders into secret police enforcers,
rehearsing preparedness for potential bio-terrorist attacks, natural as well as unnatural disasters, declared national
emergencies and martial law.
Religious leaders will be counted on by the feds to help tame the "cowboy mentality" of American citizens determined to
stand up for their property and Second Amendment rights when by executive order under martial law forced relocation, gun
confiscation and property and livestock confiscation will be enforced.
The training sessions call upon the religious community to preach subservience well in advance of what's coming and that
the planned forced relocation of citizens will be "for their own good," evoking benevolent Orwellian Big Brother assurance of
guaranteed safety and protection as the lure to foster sheep-like obedience.
FEMA trainers emphasize that the program is part of a nationwide preparedness directive under the umbrella of the National
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) and ten years ago already had over 13,000 counties in the US on
board. FEMA reps also reassure the religious leaders that they will receive full backup and cooperation from law
enforcement at all levels when and where citizen resistance is encountered.
A year after this story broke mainstream television station KSLA 12 confirmed the existence of these Clergy Response
Teams operating as extensions of the federal government to help quell civil unrest and rebellion under national emergency
conditions.
Meanwhile while the feds have been brainwashing pastors to become martial law pacifiers, Obama's practically made it a
sin to be a Christian in America. In the US military it literally is against the law to openly share your Christian faith,
punishable by court martial. Obama has destroyed troop morale and devastated retention rates in the armed forces.
Biblical scenes and Merry Christmas greetings as an annual Americana tradition has been outlawed in communities across
America, replaced by the contrite PC clich "happy holidays." Daily prayer and a "God"-less Pledge of Allegiance has been
surgically removed from every public education classroom across America.
The rigid intolerance enforced in the name of PC radicalism that's taken hold of America today shuns any display remotely
Christian while going to extreme lengths not to offend Muslims seems oddly hypocritical, one-sided and unfair.
And to those who succumb to ignorance and hate toward 2 million plus Muslims around the world because the US
hired a few Godless mercenary thugs to commit heinous atrocities for the US Empire of Chaos and Destruction of
course makes no logical or moral sense either.
Obama's bizarre reaction last year to a Jordanian pilot burned alive by the Islamic State terrorists that he and Hillary created
and the slaying and selling of children by ISIS is very telling.
He told Christians to "get off your high horse" in response to the ISIS savagery, adding that Christians committed terrible
deeds in the name of Christ referring to the Crusades and Inquisition against Islam and hanging blacks during Jim Crowism.
But an astute critic asked, "Has he ever said ISIS has committed terrible deeds in the name of Muhammad?"
Despite his repeated actions that indicate otherwise, Obama insists that he's a Christian. But he has many doubters. In a
poll taken last September, 29% of Americans (43% of the Republicans) think Obama is a Muslim while 43% of Americans
believe he's a Christian.
Having been caught telling over a thousand proven lies, Obama is a pathological liar and psychopath. His notorious
character is shady from the get-go, a complete fraud demonstrated by his refusal to produce a valid birth certificate to
illegally using a dead immigrant's social security number issued in Connecticut where he's never lived. But then
psychopaths lie all the time.
Barry and Micheal
It's their second nature, their Modus Operandi and a primary symptom of their mental illness that only feeds their self-
serving drive for power, advantage and self-aggrandizement. Incapable of possessing either empathy or a moral
conscience, hence Obama the actor's only capable of shedding those crocodile artificially induced tears.
As a condition of his and others like the Clintons and the Bushes, their callous, coldhearted, destructive actions that have
harmed and murdered millions of humans produce zero guilt or remorse.
So no matter how many times Obama attempts to explain he's really a Christian, people pay far more attention to his actions
speaking louder than any of his deceitful words. In a C-SPAN speech last year in Turkey as well as a 2008 ABC interview
with George Stephenopoulos, Obama momentarily let his guard down and rare honest words slipped out. The 2008 "my
Muslim faith" admission was immediately corrected by Democratic faithful George.
In addition to these faux pas, Obama once assured an Egyptian foreign minister that "I am a Muslim" and at another Islamic
State dinner he uttered, "I am one of you." And once a Pakistani government minister asked Obama to be the world leader
for all Muslims.
His alleged Kenyan biological father was Muslim and in his youth from 6-10 he lived as Barry Soetoro in the most Muslim
populated country on earth Indonesia with a Muslim stepfather. His third grade teacher told the LA Times he was a Muslim,
stating that he registered as such in school and attended Muslim classes.
Obama repeatedly omits Christian references to God and Creator when reciting historic passages like the Declaration of
Independence. On a number of occasions he has mocked biblical scripture but even more frequently defends Islam. Before
speaking at Georgetown and Notre Dame Universities, he ordered that the cross and religious symbols be covered yet
whenever he visits mosques, he never requests a dcor adjustment where Allah is posted everywhere.
Vatican court's highest ranking Cardinal Raymond Burke accuses Obama of being "hostile toward Christian civilization" and
"promotes anti-life and anti-family policies." Recall Illuminati and Marxist foremost NWO enemies - family and religion.
If that's not enough to question where Obama's loyalty lies, his Kenyan half-brother Malik Obama is a known Muslim
Brotherhood member affiliated with a group the State Department classifies as terrorist. That might also explain why
Obama's DHS is wiping clean all incriminating records linking terrorism to Muslim Brotherhood.
Additionally, Obama's longtime senior advisor perhaps exerting the most influence and control over the president is Iran-
born Muslim Valerie Jarrett.
Through a freedom of information request, Judicial Watch obtained FBI investigative files showing that Jarrett's father,
father-in-law and maternal grandfather are/were Communists.
Fellow Chicagoan Valerie Jarrett and her family also have ties to Obama's old mentors terrorist Bill Ayers and Communist
Frank Marshall Davis as well as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Last year former Admiral James "Ace" Lyons, Jr. went public accusing Barack Hussein Obama as anti-American, pro-
Islamic, pro-Muslim Brotherhood, outing both Valerie Jarrett as well as CIA director John Brennan as Muslims.
According to a former FBI agent, Obama's choice of CIA director John Brennan converted to Muslim while stationed in
Saudi Arabia years ago. A military intelligence whistleblower also outed the Muslim Brennan while he was CIA station chief
in Jeddah maintaining that Brennan approved visas for the [supposed] 19 alleged 9/11 terrorists.
A couple of other credible sources have also come forth to further corroborate the veracity of these Muslim claims, among
them former naval intelligence officer turned investigative journalist Wayne Madsen. Madsen contends that there's "growing
evidence" the CIA director's a Wahhabist convert.
Also recall the highly suspicious death in June 2013 of muckraking journalist Michael Hastings who at the time was writing
an expose on Brennan and US intelligence when his car was very likely remotely hacked and accelerated up to 80 MPH on
an LA surface street before it suddenly exploded blowing the engine 100 feet from the charred body and vehicle.
A WikiLeaks leak from Stratfor, a CIA linked global intelligence firm, mentioned how Brennan was on "a witch hunt" against
snooping journalists. A nervous Hastings knew he was being investigated by the FBI and even had asked a friend to borrow
her car earlier that same day. Michael Hastings had written two very high profile, unflattering Rolling Stone articles on two
prominent generals in charge of the Afghanistan War.
General Stanley McChrystal lost his job over Hastings' revealing portrayal and then a second piece on General David
Petraeus who seven months earlier was forced to resign as Brennan's CIA predecessor after Petraeus' scandalous
affair with his biographer broke. Again, truth becomes the enemy to dark evil forces.
Having a standing US president and US head of intelligence both treasonous Muslims covertly promoting terrorism around
the world amounts to the worst breach of both national as well as global security this planet's ever known.
Understanding the profound damage being done to the world by these two partners-in-crime working in tandem, this The
New York Times article noting how close Obama and Brennan are suddenly makes more sense:
"In the 67 years since the CIA was founded, few presidents have had as close a bond with their intelligence
chiefs."
Other deeply disturbing influences on Obama's life are his mentors. His longtime mentor Bill Ayers who first got him started
in politics is a well-known terrorist from the Weather Underground back in the 1960's and 70's that somehow managed to
avoid jail time. Ayers told an FBI informant that had infiltrated his group that once Weather Underground overthrew the US
government, 50 million Americans would need to be rounded up and taken to re-education camps.
If re-education failed, Ayers estimated that 25 million Americans would need to be exterminated. The informant was
interviewed revealing Ayers diabolical plan in the 1982 documentary No Place to Hide: The Strategy and Tactics of
Terrorism.
With his white mother a CIA employee, his grandparents CIA assets and raised among CIA handlers in both Hawaii,
Indonesia and perhaps his entire life, Obama was carefully groomed as the Manchurian president selected by the elite to
suddenly catapult out of obscurity onto the national stage.
Early in Obama's life from adolescence into young adulthood his closest mentor (and possibly his biological father) was
African American Communist, poet and journalist Frank Marshall Davis. Davis was a victim of racism and hated it and
America for that reason. As an alternative to the racist pecking order of imperialistic elitism, Frank Marshall Davis turned to
Communism Soviet Stalinism style where he believed a black man would be on a more equal footing.
During the time Obama knew him he'd become old and bitter. How much of that resentment and political ideology rubbed off
on the young impressionable mulatto Barack struggling to find his blackness growing up in a white family without a black
father? Probably quite a bit.
Obama mentions Frank (only by his first name) in his autobiography Dreams from My Father 22 times. But when it came
time for his book to go audio in 2005 leading up to his run for presidency, Obama cunningly chose to totally erase Frank the
Communist out of his life.
With a violent subversive white radical terrorist and an angry bitter black Stalinist Communist most influential in making him
the man he is today, steeped and bred in Manchurian CIA candidacy to become the most "powerful" front man in the world
as long as he on cue successfully destroys racist Christian America for his ruling masters, I'd say he's followed his script like
the dutiful puppet he is to the T.
His horrendous track record at deceit speaks volumes that only his demonic handlers can be proud of.
By the way, as power hungry puppets spawned from the same criminally psychopathic pond, the Muslim
Brotherhood waters still run deep in crime boss Hillary's shady world as well. Look no further than her right hand Muslim gal-
pal who's been her top aide the last 20 years - Huma Abedin. When Huma was two-years old her family moved from
Michigan to Saudi Arabia where she lived until 18, returning to America to attend college.
It turns out all the while Huma was working for Clinton, she also had a gig as assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim
Minority Affairs from 1995 through 2008, a radical Sharia law publication where her Pakistani-born mother is editor out of
offices in Jeddah. Mama Abedin also sits on the staff of an organization run by the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The New York Post just ran a detailed article uncovering the family's extremist views endorsing female circumcision,
opposing women's rights, attributing domestic violence to men's stress in the world and blamed 9/11 on the US. This
shocker is just the latest from the scandal-ridden Clinton campaign.
While using a private internet server, Abedin helped Hillary sell off America to dangerous foreign interests. For more than a
dozen years Huma Abedin worked for an organization whose stated objective is to infiltrate and conquer the West in the
name of Islam.
The elite has seen to it that all its major players are in place to destroy the United States from within by traitors who secretly
hate America. Welcome to New World Disorder [but it won't be allowed to run it's course].
While practicing Christianity openly under Obama's watch is becoming criminalized, or even displaying the American flag in
front of your home on Flag Day can get you arrested, Obama and his Attorney General Loretta Lynch are making the politics
of Political Correctness the new American law and religion.
Uttering statements that may potentially offend someone in the universe is fast becoming a crime. Being critical of Muslims,
apartheid Israel, the LGBT agenda or the federal government are increasingly construed as so called hate crimes that could
land you in prison, especially if uttered by potential "homegrown extremists" deemed enemies of the state.
Even filming the police in a police state can get you arrested.
The assault on free speech and flagrant violations of the US Constitution that they took sworn oaths to uphold and protect is
overwhelming. The First Amendment right of free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly for peaceful protest
are no longer recognized as our rule of law, and exercising those rights increasingly runs the risk of being beaten, thrown in
jail or even killed. Freedom of press amongst the 6-oligarch owned MSM mega-media corporations is completely
nonexistent.
MSM puppets on each network read from the same disinformation script. And if the Trans-Pacific Partnership passes, the
last vestige of a free press and free speech that still can be found on the internet will be totally censored, banned and lost. In
this age of tyrannical deceit, truth becomes the enemy.
Our Fourth Amendment rights to unreasonable search and seizure as well as the right to privacy have been completely
obliterated with electronic tracking and storing our every move, communicated utterance and transaction. Through civil asset
forfeiture laws, police are able to legally rob us blind without warrants or probable cause, literally stealing our cash with no
connection to any crime.
But now since May law enforcement has taken it a step further with new scanning devices electronically capable of
snatching money right out of our bank accounts. Cops took more assets from Americans in 2014 than all the burglars
combined. Eminent domain allows the government at any level from local to federal to steal our home and property not
always for public use but for private development as well.
Executive Order 13603 authorizes Obama and his traitors to confiscate our 2nd Amendment right to bear firearms, to
confiscate our stored food and water, our vehicles and all our property. Without pay until further notice, the presidential
dictator can also literally conscript Americans into slavery.
2012 NDAA ended the 1878 Posse Comitatis law that prohibited US military from interfering in civil affairs. It authorizes
military troops to break into our homes without warrant, without charges, arrest and imprison citizens without due process,
without legal representation and without trial for an unlimited length of time... Gulag USA.
Bail-in laws give the criminal banksters the right to literally steal all our life savings right out of our "private" unsecured bank
accounts. We're now living in a lawless age of New World Disorder where grand theft rape and pillaging everything
American citizens always cherished as our freedoms are gone.
The treasonous traitors from within our own government have openly declared an apartheid war on Americans of every
persuasion, color, creed, criminalizing anyone who demands accountability for the egregious acts of treason committed by
agents from the federal as well as state and municipal levels.
After decades of war in the Middle East and North Africa, the globalists manufactured the migration crisis of near two million
and counting (1.3 million in 2015 alone) in Europe and per Obama many more to come to America. The globalist plan is to
weaken and destroy the West, creating such a clash of civilizations that a volatile enough racial and religious divide will
foment race/religious civil wars.
Speaking of race war, in addition to being a top financier of Hillary's crooked path to a rigged presidency, billionaire George
Soros first helped fund her and her assistant Nuland's illegal 2014 Ukraine coup, singlehandedly ushering in cold war 2
against Russia.

Backing the fascist corrupt Kiev regime, Soros, Hillary and Obama have caused the bloody civil war still raging in eastern
Ukraine that could easily ignite World War III that Hillary promises to deliver. And in recent weeks the war in the Donbass
region is intensifying.
A recently released CIA report has surfaced pointing the finger at Soros financing a series of bombing attacks in
Czechoslovakia during 1986 and 1987 in efforts to overthrow the then Communist government. Meet the terrorist behind the
terrorists who's been free to operate his paid for violence evil with impunity throughout the world now for 30 years.
Let us not forget Soros' evil misdeeds in America with his intention to incite race wars on US soil. He dropped 33 million in a
single year to deploy his paid army of bussed in agitators and co-opted Black Lives Matter protesters to invade inner cities
whenever Obama's coldblooded police force murder another unarmed black man.
With near weekly incidents now of police killing unarmed Americans and Intel handled MK Ultra patsies killing police, at this
point Obama, Hillary and Soros' wet dream has almost been fulfilled. While racism exists in America, deep state is using it
as an exploited, divide and conquer weapon to intentionally cause such out of control civil and racial violence that it will then
be used as the convenient trigger for dictator Obama or dictator Hillary to declare martial law.
Comment: While it is true that police state USA is exacerbating racial tensions we would be doing BLM an injustice if we
were to paint its existence with one Soros-dipped brush stroke. See this.
With ma and pa neighborhood stores selling made-in-America products long dead now, and America's malls fast
becoming dying ghost towns minus a disappearing, once vibrant middle class, times ahead look mighty grim for America.
All 133 Target stores in Canada were closed last year and 154 Walmarts in the US are boarded up under contract
with Homeland Security, most likely waiting to be reopened when the SHTF as FEMA roundup processing centers.
With Obama dropping doom and gloom hints ominously warning Americans to be prepared for impending coming disasters,
get ready for a series of rapid fire false flag crises, like a so called massive cyber-hack attack breaching America's bank
security declaring on Friday a banker's holiday and inaccessibly frozen ATM's and private bank account assets on Monday.
Or an EMP attack that's been waiting to happen on America's extremely vulnerable power grid that the feds have known
about for years but refuse to invest in infrastructure to protect the 90% of Americans who would likely die without electricity
within 12 months.
Or the highly amplified weaponized cell towers capable of delivering non-thermal, radioactive heat that could fry us in our
own backyard neighborhoods. Or the black ops Tesla inspired pulsar weapons technology related
to HAARP weather warfare through diabolically staged unnatural disasters like earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, floods and
droughts, combined with towers that resonate with brain frequencies for massive mind control using heavy metals as EMF
conductors from geoengineered chemtrails.
Or any fake or real human-made Zika, Ebola or any other virus in the military's vast array that can easily be aerially
launched as biological and/or chemical warfare on large swaths of the human population.
Nuclear weapons could begin disappearing in Turkey into unaccounted hands potentially with ISIS fingerprints on them.
After all, the US has consistently been the main supplier of terrorists' weapons - always "mysteriously" ending up in their
hands.
Speaking of weapons and supplies, recent sightings of massive movement of UN military vehicles and weapons in the US
have been sighted perfectly timed with recent authorization for UN troop deployment on US soil under backdoor stipulation
to "protect" civilians but could just as easily kill us under martial law orders when they come to lock us up and confiscate our
guns.
Or another flimsily veiled executive order signed on July 1st that authorizes new rules of engagement for deadly drones
eradicating declared combatants moving amongst civilian populations that under Obama's loose definition could easily be
applied to homegrown civilians believing in the sanctity of our US Constitution and national sovereignty.
The most eminent danger of them all posed by the elite's meticulously planned perfect storm of global economic
collapse co-timed with World War III against Russia, China and Iran carrying the very real threat of nuclear annihilation [but
again, this is very unlikely to eventuate].
This growing collection of extremely plausible doomsday scenarios seem as endless as the globalists' war on terror, except
the terror being perpetrated on us is nothing short of premeditated human genocide by a Satan worshipping, pedophilia-
addicted, trans-human elitist crime cabal syndicate.
When history keeps repeating itself, more than convincingly demonstrating that the ruling elite possesses both the criminal
means and willful intention to purge 90% of the global population, while enslaving the rest under absolute tyrannical one
world government control, it's time to wake up from this nightmare and start fighting back for our very lives.
Comment: Ultimately - the wost case scenario simply will not be allowed to happen. There are far too many contingency
plans in place - BUT the masses need to be awakened to the full gravity of the situation and what was planned for them.

The Real Reason Your Rural Banks Are Closing Kiwis - Its Not Lack Of Funds
August 28 2016 | From: EnviroWatchRangitikei
Recent reports tell us that in spite of $1 billion Profit, Westpac is still looking to close 19 rural
Branches. So it isnt because theyre not making money.
Same scenario with Housing NZ. Those homes are being hocked off by the thousands currently, not because they
are an encumbrance, in fact the Housing Corporation is/was running at a profit.

Cast your eye back to the late 80s and the new Neoliberal rip-off economy that promised us they were working smarter
amidst a whole palaver about restructuring aka structural adjustment that seemed to mysteriously only affect the workers
and equally as mysteriously fatten the purses of the already wealthy. The gap is getting wider, watch.
These closures began back in the aforementioned late 80s when banks, hospitals, pharmacies, postal, transport and
medical services and so on, collapsed slowly, one by one, like a house of cards. Folks at the time put up a huge fight to
retain these services and were successful for a time, however, they eventually closed.
The seemingly inevitable. And back then, like now, they were simply decisions from the top echelon in Wellington
economic priorities, not inevitabilities at all.
And slowly, as was the intended effect, folks drifted to the cities in order to support themselves and their families. Kiwis are
resourceful and not lazy like the current regime would have you believe. We had full employment before the new banking /
corporate government took control.
Slowly, as services were closed, the result of economic decisions in Wellington, people moved to the cities in order to
support their families
If you would like to know the agenda behind those decisions you need to look at the UN Long Term Plan, called
specifically Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030. It is very long hence few will have read it. However there are many commentaries
/ exposes / critiques of it online fortunately, by those who have read it cover to cover, notable people like ex Aussie
politician, Anne Bressington.
This is the forward thinking plan that superficially looks great and touts sustainability and global cooperation. Be assured it is
everything but. Look now at our District Councils, our Local Governing bodies and see how they flout the
term sustainability (in practice that is).
Their websites however have all the right spin. People are now waking up to the fact and the reality that our nation is being
in fact, severely polluted to the extent we can only swim safely in 40% of our rivers.
And so in line with this change of regime that has been creeping on us since the late 80s
Mangaweka in the central North Island, a once thriving town, drastically affected historically by the closure of servicesand
Rogernomics, the closure of facilities in rural areas is designed to drive us to the cities. Friends tell me their rates in the rural
towns are far dearer than city rates with less amenities.
If you take the time to research Agenda 21/30 you will see the long term plan in short is for us to live in high rise city
apartments and riding bicycles for transport. That is the general shift that is in motion.
Related: Agenda 2030 Translator: Decoding The UNs New Sustainable Development Goals
For a local expose of the plan visit our Agenda 21 / 30 in NZ pages. Dr Naomi Jacobs has written an ebook about it
(downloadable from that page), triggered by the rising rates scenario (an increasingly familiar theme) in Kaipara in the North.
No this is not conspiracy theory, it is a documented UN Agenda fact. You owe it to yourself to read it. It concerns you & your
descendants.

Why Are Prices So High In New Zealand? + Homeless In New Zealand - Thousands
Living In Garages And Cars
August 27 2016 | From: MediaWhores / Aljazeera
Dear Leader Knows Best and the Stats (Satanists) dont lie.
Luciferian Zionists are incapable of speaking the truth
The media today are debating why prices are so high in New Zealand. They have decided to ask the experts. The
experts are all pretty sure there is no inflation. The Government told us so. And the experts all work for the
Government or for the banks, who run the Government.

Sounds like a story out of Soviet Russia doesnt it?
Prices in NZ have in fact risen by at least 200% since the 2008 Global financial crisis. 400+ % on my favorite cheese, and
my honey for example. 200% plus on housing, and power bills some say also. Yet somehow the Government and the
corporate media all agree that there hasnt really been any inflation at all in the past 10 years.
It should be noted that wages and salaries are almost unchanged in that same period in economics speak, this translates
to lower real wages or the amount of purchasing power of your money / pay.
If prices are 200% or more up, and your wages remain the same you might be experiencing budgeting problems.
And the bottom 5% will all be living in their cars. Which is precisely the case under this Soviet like John Key regime who
pose as capitalists.
We need to explain why those prices have been rising (money counterfeiting by the banks essentially) but first, lets consider
the other thing putting upwards pressure on our prices exports.
New Zealand is now feeding upwards of 60,00, 000 people overseas. That is how much food we produce a massive
amount. One of the biggest food producers per capita in the entire World.
We are a giant farm really, with some traffic jams in the middle. All of the very best food is exported to the likes of 5 star
hotels across Asia and Europe, and thousands of tonnes more to supermarkets and chain stores all over.
You can of course buy anything you want here but you just have to pay the same price as top corporate executives are
offering for it in Tokyo and London.
If that makes you feel a little queasy, also keep in mind that most of the corporates shipping all of our food and resources
overseas, are paying almost no tax these days. They all have advanced offshore licensing fees and trusts to launder the
profit through to.
Assholes like Graeme Hart (above) are held up for us as some kind of hero when he is in fact one of the single biggest
causes of poverty in our modern day history.
In fact - Kiwis are now not only dealing with 100-200 % lower real wages these days but are also paying around 65% net
taxes on their salaries and wages. That includes 20-30% income tax, 15% GST, ACC rates, petrol taxes, tobacco taxes,
alcohol taxes, local rates, and on and on. Then thanks to privatisation you have to pay for most Government Services
anyway.
It is in fact beyond madness it is looking more and more like some type of Corporate Fourth Reich. A corporate holocaust
being run by our Government in conjunction with their Corporate partners.
The Corporate Fourth Reich is apparently well underway in New Zealand and under a Prime Minister who claims to be
Jewish oddly enough. Zionists I hear some people refer to them as. Which looks suspiciously like the word Nazi to me.
Turns out now the experts in the media want to tax sugar as well. The poor can only afford cheap foods full of sugar these
days. So the new tax is clearly designed to make their lives even harder. Fact is, if they had any interest in keeping people
healthy, they would simply remove taxes off fruit and vegetables.
That is the reality of New Zealand these days a small handful of apparently very well connected and financed people are
doing just great, overseas trips, baches, overseas homes, etc and everyone else is being slowly killed off via a
scientifically designed and deployed corporate extermination program.
The others have nice large distilled water (h2o) treatment plants for them and their family, and everyone else is drinking
sodium fluoride and chlorine if they are lucky the unlucky rate payers are actually dying from preventable diseases in
their water supplies. This is apparently the new standard.
Interesting to note that no one has been held responsible for the Havelock North Water Crisis these leaders are
now poisoning everyone and still get to keep their jobs.
Hapless sellout idiot and Mr. Agenda 21 New Zealand, Lawrence Yule expects to be re-elected and he cannot even tell 5,000 + people why they are
sick for weeks from a poisoned water supply
One wonders how bad it is going to get?
One thing is for sure the amount of crap that Kiwis are prepared to put up with has increased exponentially in just 25
years. Probably at the same rate as the size of their TV screens.
And why do we have inflation on our remaining food ? Mostly due to the money printing / counterfeiting operations of the
foreign banks that money you sign for and they lend you, at interest?
Yeah, it came out of thin air... a very sophisticated magic trick, that only certain qualified magicians are apparently allowed
to do.

Finally, The CIA Admits Covering Up JFK Assassination

August 26 2016 | From: TrueActivist / Politico
Yes, the CIA Director Was Part of the JFK Assassination Cover-Up: Even if you have to wait over 50
years, eventually the truth will out. [While they have not admitted to everything - the red links below
fill in the gaps.]
Suspicions that the CIA covered up JFKs murder have finally been confirmed, according to an explosive Politico
report (further below) out this week.
Related: JFK Jr. Told The World Who Murdered His Father - But Nobody Was Paying Attention
Fifty-two years after the Presidents death, declassified documents show that the CIA were in communication with alleged
assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before JFKs murder in 1963, and they were monitoring his mail since 1959.
Not only that but John McCone, who was Chief of the CIA at the time, allegedly hid evidence from the Warren commission,
set up by Lyndon Johnson to investigate JFKs assassination. The spymaster and other senior CIA officials are accused of
withholding incendiary information from the commission and therefore perverting the course of justice.
The CIA has admitted this.
The Politico report is based on evidence given by CIA historian David Robarge. He has claimed the cover-up was intended to
keep the commission focused on:
"What the agency believed at the time was the best truth - that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined
motives, had acted alone in killing John Kennedy.
McCone directed the CIA to provide only passive, reactive and selective assistance to the Warren commission, meaning the
investigation was severely compromised and did not follow up any other leads which may have been crucial in the search for
truth.
Robarge also believes that John McCone, who died in 1991, withheld vital information relating to various CIA plots to
assassinate Fidel Castro. The historian points out that these plots may well be linked to JFKs assassination - theres a strong
chance his murder was a revenge attack for CIA operations in Cuba - but McCones unwillingness to explore other
potentialities outside of prime suspect Lee Harvey Oswald could have resulted in a grave miscarriage of justice.
JFK was Americas youngest ever and most charismatic President, and his death shocked the nation. Alternative murder
theories are popular across the States:
A 2013 poll found that only 30% of Americans believe Oswald shot JFK, and that he acted alone. 61% believed that
others were involved in a conspiracy (see the embedded video to find out why).
David Robarge first published these exclusive claims in a secret internal CIA magazine in 2013. His claims have now been
declassified and can be publicly accessed here on the George Washington Universitys National Security Archive.
Robarge has also written a biography of John McCone, but his book continues to be classified. What else might the historian
have uncovered? Heres hoping that the full truth of what happened in Dealy Plaza on that fateful day will very soon be
common knowledge.
Yes, The CIA Director Was Part Of The JFK Assassination Cover-Up
John McCone was long suspected of withholding information from the Warren Commission. Now
even the CIA says he did.
John McCone came to the CIA as an outsider. An industrialist and an engineer by training, he replaced veteran
spymaster Allen Dulles as director of central intelligence in November 1961, after John F. Kennedy had forced out
Dulles following the CIAs bungled operation to oust Fidel Castro by invading Cubas Bay of Pigs.
McCone had one overriding mission: restore order at the besieged CIA. Kennedy hoped his management skills might prevent
a future debacle, even if the Californian - mostly a stranger to the clubby, blue-blooded world of the men like Dulles who had
always run the spy agency - faced a steep learning curve.
After JFKs assassination in Dallas in November 1963, President Lyndon Johnson kept McCone in place at the CIA, and the
CIA director became an important witness before the Warren Commission, the panel Johnson created to investigate
Kennedys murder.
McCone pledged full cooperation with the commission, which was led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, and testified that the CIA
had no evidence to suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin, was part of any conspiracy, foreign or domestic.
In its final report, the commission came to agree with

McCones depiction of Oswald, a former Marine and self-
proclaimed Marxist, as a delusional lone wolf. But did
McCone come close to perjury all those decades ago?
Did the onetime Washington outsider in fact hide agency

secrets that might still rewrite the history of the
assassination?
Even the CIA is now willing to raise these questions.
Half a century after JFKs death, in a once-secret report

written in 2013 by the CIAs top in-house historian and
quietly declassified last fall, the spy agency acknowledges
what others were convinced of long ago:
That McCone and other senior CIA officials were

complicit in keeping incendiary information from the
Warren Commission.
According to the report by CIA historian David Robarge,

McCone, who died in 1991, was at the heart of a:
"Benign cover-up at the spy agency, intended to

keep the commission focused on what the Agency
believed at the time was the best truth - that Lee
Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives,
had acted alone in killing John Kennedy.
The most important information that McCone withheld from the commission in its 1964 investigation, the report found, was the
existence, for years, of CIA plots to assassinate Castro, some of which put the CIA in cahoots with the Mafia. Without this
information, the commission never even knew to ask the question of whether Oswald had accomplices in Cuba or elsewhere
who wanted Kennedy dead in retaliation for the Castro plots.
While raising no question about the essential findings of the Warren Commission, including that Oswald was the gunman in
Dallas, the 2013 report is important because it comes close to an official CIA acknowledgement - half a century after the fact -
of impropriety in the agencys dealings with the commission.
The coverup by McCone and others may have been benign, in the reports words, but it was a cover-up nonetheless,
denying information to the commission that might have prompted a more aggressive investigation of Oswalds potential Cuba
ties.
Initially stamped SECRET/NOFORN, meaning it was not to be shared outside the agency or with foreign governments,
Robarges report was originally published as an article in the CIAs classified internal magazine, Studies in Intelligence, in
September 2013, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.
The article, drawn from a still-classified 2005 biography of McCone written by Robarge, was declassified quietly last fall and
is now available on the website of The George Washington Universitys National Security Archive.
In a statement to POLITICO, the CIA said it decided to declassify the report to highlight misconceptions about the CIAs
connection to JFKs assassination, including the still-popular conspiracy theory that the spy agency was somehow behind the
assassination. (Articles in the CIA magazine are routinely declassified without fanfare after internal review.)
Robarges article says that McCone, quickly convinced after the assassination that Oswald had acted alone and that there
was no foreign conspiracy involving Cuba or the Soviet Union, directed the agency to provide only passive, reactive and
selective assistance to the Warren Commission.
This portrait of McCone suggests that he was much more hands-on in the CIAs dealings with the commission - and in the
agencys post-assassination scrutiny of Oswalds past - than had previously been known. The report quotes another senior
CIA official, who heard McCone say that he intended to handle the whole (commission) business myself, directly.
The report offers no conclusion about McCones motivations, including why he would go to lengths to cover-up CIA activities
that mostly predated his time at the agency. But it suggests that the Johnson White House might have directed McCone to
hide the information.
McCone;shared the administrations interest in avoiding disclosures about covert actions that would
circumstantially implicate [the] CIA in conspiracy theories and possibly lead to calls for a tough US response
against the perpetrators of the assassination, the article reads.
If the commission did not know to ask about covert operations about Cuba, he was not going to give them any
suggestions about where to look.
In an interview, David Slawson, who was the Warren Commissions chief staff investigator in searching for evidence of a
foreign conspiracy, said he was not surprised to learn that McCone had personally withheld so much information from the
investigation in 1964, especially about the Castro plots.
"I always assumed McCone must have known, because I always believed that loyalty and discipline in the CIA
made any large-scale operation without the consent of the director impossible, says Slawson, now 84 and a
retired University of Southern California law professor.
He says he regrets that it had taken so long for the spy agency to acknowledge that McCone and others had
seriously misled the commission. After half a century, Slawson says, The world loses interest, because the
assassination becomes just a matter of history to more and more people.
The report identifies other tantalizing information that McCone did not reveal to the commission, including evidence that the
CIA might somehow have been in communication with Oswald before 1963 and that the spy agency had secretly monitored
Oswalds mail after he attempted to defect to the Soviet Union in 1959.
The CIA mail-opening program, which was later determined to have been blatantly illegal, had the code name HTLINGUAL.
"It would be surprising if the DCI [director of central intelligence] were not told about the program after the
Kennedy assassination, the report reads.
If not, his subordinates deceived him. If he did know about HTLINGUAL reporting on Oswald, he was not being
forthright with the commission - presumably to protect an operation that was highly compartmented and, if
disclosed, sure to arouse much controversy.
John McCone
In the 1970s, when congressional investigations exposed the Castro plots, members of the Warren Commission and its staff
expressed outrage that they had been denied the information in 1964. Had they known about the plots, they said, the
commission would have been much more aggressive in trying to determine whether JFKs murder was an act of retaliation by
Castro or his supporters.
Weeks before the assassination, Oswald traveled to Mexico City and met there with spies for the Cuban and Soviet
governments - a trip that CIA and FBI officials have long acknowledged was never adequately investigated. (Even so, Warren
Commission staffers remain convinced today that Oswald was the lone gunman in Dallas, a view shared by ballistics experts
who have studied the evidence.)
In congressional testimony in 1978, after public disclosures about the Castro plots, McCone claimed that he could not have
shared information about the plots with the Warren Commission in 1964 because he was ignorant of the plots at the time.
Other CIA officials;
"Withheld the information from me, he said. I have never been satisfied as to why they withheld the information.
But the 2013 report concluded that McCones testimony was neither frank nor accurate, since it was later
determined with certainty that he had been informed about the CIA-Mafia plots nine months before his appearance
before the Warren Commission.
Robarge suggests the CIA is responsible for some of the harsh criticism commonly leveled at the Warren Commission for
large gaps in its investigation of the presidents murder, including its failure to identify Oswalds motive in the assassination
and to pursue evidence that might have tied Oswald to accomplices outside the United States.
Dealey Plaza
For decades, opinion polls have shown that most Americans reject the commissions findings and believe Oswald did not act
alone. Four of the seven commissioners were members of Congress, and they spent the rest of their political careers
badgered by accusations that they had been part of a coverup.
"The decision of McCone and Agency leaders in 1964 not to disclose information about CIAs anti-Castro schemes
might have done more to undermine the credibility of the commission than anything else that happened while it
was conducting its investigation, the report reads.
In that sense - and in that sense alone - McCone may be regarded as a co-conspirator in the JFK as sassination
cover-up.
If there was, indeed, a CIA cover-up, a member of the Warren Commission was apparently in on it: Allen Dulles, McCones
predecessor, who ran the CIA when the spy agency hatched the plots to kill Castro.
"McCone does not appear to have any explicit, special understanding with Allen Dulles, the 2013 report says. Still,
McCone could rest assured that his predecessor would keep a dutiful watch over Agency equities and work to
keep the commission from pursuing provocative lines of investigation, such as lethal anti-Castro covert actions.
(Johnson appointed Dulles to the commission at the recommendation of then-Attorney General Robert Kennedy.)
In fact it is doubtful that Castro had anything to do with the assassination of JFK other than being used as false flag cover. See the red related links for
more detail
The 2013 report also draws attention to the contacts between McCone and Robert Kennedy in the days after the
assassination. In the wake of the Bay of Pigs disaster in 1961, the attorney general was asked by his brother, the president,
to direct the administrations secret war against Castro, and Robert Kennedys friends and family acknowledged years later
that he never stopped fearing that Castro was behind his brothers death.
"McCone had frequent contact with Robert Kennedy during the painful days after the assassination, the report
says. Their communication appears to have been verbal, informal and, evidently in McCones estimation, highly
personal; no memoranda or transcripts exist or are known to have been made.
Because Robert Kennedy had overseen the Agencys anti-Castro covert actions - including some of the
assassination plans - his dealings with McCone about his brothers murder had a special gravity, the report
continues.
Did Castro kill the president because the president had tried to kill Castro? Had the administrations obsession
with Cuba inadvertently inspired a politicized sociopath to murder John Kennedy?
The declassification of the bulk of the 2013 McCone report might suggest a new openness by the CIA in trying to resolve the
lingering mysteries about the Kennedy assassination.
At the same time, there are 15 places in the public version of the report where the CIA has deleted sensitive information -
sometimes individual names, sometimes whole sentences. It is an acknowledgement, it seems, that there are still secrets
about the Kennedy assassination hidden in the agencys files.

Obama Tries To Sneak Through TPP In Lame-Duck Congress / Trade Deals Getting
Derailed
August 24 2016 | From: JonRappoport / TheGuardian / Various
First: know that the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is a huge Globalist trade deal among 12
nations that would a) phase out thousands of tariffs (NY Times, 6/1/16) and b) set up corporate
tribunals to punish nations that refuse to import goods (e.g., toxic pesticides, toxic medical drugs,
GMOs).
In short, its a nightmare. Wiping out tariffs is the cornerstone of the Globalist agenda. It allows companies in
industrial countries to move their factories to Third World hell holes, pay slave wages, ignore environmental
conditions, and then export their products back to the countries they abandonedwith no tariffs. No taxes. No
penalties.
Related: 8 Terrible Things About the Trans-Pacific Partnership
The absence of tariffs is the gift that keeps on giving. Its the ONLY way these corporations can exports products from their
factories in the Third World and make a profit. Its the un-level playing field. It creates a world run by and for mega-
corporations.
Obama is the Rockefeller Globalists man in the White House. Hes tasked with pushing through Congressional ratification of
the TPP, come hell or high water.
He sees hell on the horizon and the water is rising. If Trump wins, the TPP is likely toast. If Hillary wins, who knows whatll
happen? Her latest flip-flop was to come out against the TPP. That was her strategy as she tried to win over Bernie Sanders
supporters. Sanders was virulently against the TPP treaty.
SoObama is aiming to have Congress ratify the TPP during its lame-duck session, which takes place after the November
election and before new winners assume office in January.
In other words, during the lame-duck session, all members of Congress who occupy office at this current moment will still be
there, before the newly elected Congress (whoever they are) takes over. Obama calculates his best chance of passing the
TPP is with the present membership of Congress.
Twilight Zone? You bet. Heres the picture: the election is over, the newly elected Congress is ready to take charge in
January, but in November, with the old Congress still there (the lame ducks), Obama will make his last-ditch stand to leave
the US and 11 other Pacific nations with one final exploding disaster, as he moves to a lavish home near one of his favorite
golf courses.
As we speak, hes on a nationwide tour, drumming up support among recalcitrant Congressional members and fence sitters,
offering whatever he can to turn the tide in his favor.
Imagine this: youre a member of Congress whos just been voted out of office. Youre still there in November, though, one
of the lame ducks sitting in chambers, sipping good scotch, watching Law&Order reruns, boxing up mementos, playing
poker, running out the string on your expense account. One of Obamas people drops by to convince you to vote for the
TPP.
What can he offer you? Youre done in Congress.
So whatever the deal is, chances are its going to be sleazy. Maybe youd like a cushy gig with a big pharmaceutical
company. Maybe youd like a seat on the board of a Wall St. firm. Maybe you can score a great price on a house in the
Bahamas. Maybe your neer-do-well son can get into Harvard, once hes out of drug rehab. Maybe the video of you and that
three-thousand-dollar hooker in a DC hotel will vanish Whatever it takes.
Because of these Globalist trade deals, good jobs in the US have been running away like marathon runners from the
starting line. But who cares? The sinking US economy is a fact of life. Youre a lame duck. You need comfort and gifts in
the next phase of your life. Inside the Beltway, its make-a-deal all the time. Nothing new.
You need to grab whatever is on the table before you go out the door. By the process of Washington DC alchemy, lame
ducks can become vultures and buzzards and even eagles.
Thank you, Mr. President. Your mission is nearly done. Thank you for this one final messianic miracle. The American worker
is in your debt. Literally.
Protest Never Changes Anything? Look At How TTIP Has Been Derailed
People power has taken on big business over this transatlantic stitch-up and looks like winning.
We should all be inspired
For those of us who want societies run in the interests of the majority rather than unaccountable corporate
interests, this era can be best defined as an uphill struggle.
So when victories occur, they should be loudly trumpeted to encourage us in a wider fight against a powerful elite of big
businesses, media organisations, politicians, bureaucrats and corporate-funded thinktanks.
Today is one such moment. The Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) that notorious proposed trade
agreement that hands even more sweeping powers to corporate titans lies wounded, perhaps fatally. It isnt dead yet, but
TTIP is a tangled wreckage that will be difficult to reassemble.
Those of us who campaigned against TTIP not least fellow Guardian columnist George Monbiot were dismissed as
scaremongering. We said that TTIP would lead to a race to the bottom on everything from environmental to consumer
protections, forcing us down to the lower level that exists in the United States. We warned that it would undermine our
democracy and sovereignty, enabling corporate interests to use secret courts to block policies that they did not like.
Scaremongering, we were told. But hundreds of leaked documents from the negotiations reveal, in some ways, that the
reality is worse and now the French government has been forced to suggest it may block the agreement.
The documents imply that even craven European leaders believe the US demands go too far. As War on Want puts it, they
show that TTIP would open the door to products currently banned in the EU for public health and environmental reasons.
As the documents reveal, there are now irreconcilable differences between the European Unions and Americas positions.
According to Greenpeace, the EU position is very bad, and the US position is terrible.
The documents show that the US is actively trying to dilute EU regulations on consumer and environmental protections. In
future, for the EU to be even able to pass a regulation, it could be forced to involve both US authorities and US corporations,
giving big businesses across the Atlantic the same input as those based in Europe.
With these damning revelations, the embattled French authorities have been forced to say they reject TTIP at this stage.
President Hollande says France would refuse the undermining of the essential principles of our agriculture, our culture, of
mutual access to public markets. And with the countrys trade representative saying that there cannot be an agreement
without France and much less against France, TTIP currently has a bleak future indeed.
"David Cameron is [was] happy to undermine British sovereignty and democracy, as long as it is corporate
interests who benefit"
There are a number of things we learn from this, all of which should lift hopes. First, people power pays off. European
politicians and bureaucrats, quite rightly, would never have imagined that a trade agreement would inspire any interest, let
alone mass protests.
Symptomatic of their contempt for the people they supposedly exist to serve, the negotiations over the most important
aspects of the treaty were conducted in secret. Easy, then, to accuse anti-TTIP activists of scaremongering while revealing
little of the reality publicly.
But rather than give up, activists across the continent organised. They toxified TTIP, forcing its designers on the defensive.
Germany the very heart of the European project witnessed mass demonstrations with up to 250,000 people
participating.
For all President Obamas hope-change rhetoric, his administration which zealously promoted TTIP has all too often
championed corporate interests. However, though Bernie Sanders is unlikely to become the Democratic nominee, the
incredible movement behind him shows particularly among younger Americans a growing desire for a different sort of
US.
Protesters wear masks of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel as they demonstrate against TTIP free trade agreement
In the coming months, those Europeans who have campaigned against TTIP should surely reach out to their American
counterparts. Even if TTIP is defeated, we still live in a world in which major corporations often have greater power than
nation states: only organised movements that cross borders can have any hope of challenging this unaccountable
dominance.
From tax justice to climate change, the protest never achieves anything brigade have been proved wrong. Heres a
potential victory to relish, and build on.

Globalism: A Psychological GPS System For The Masses
August 20 2016 | From: JonRappoport
Globalism presents a conception of space, in which billions of people fit into their best slots.
Thats the theme. Thats the construct.
Of course, its proponents and bosses sell it as if the world couldnt exist in any other form.
All isms operate in this fashion. Once the definition is laid down, the fictional field is laid out, and people are urged to
navigate to their places.
If you dont, dire things will happen. People arent generally aware of fictional spaces and their psychological impact.
Therefore, they go along.
This is why a museum can be so instructive. A thousand paintings, each with its own area. Im not talking about a place on a
wall, Im talking about interior space, which the artist invents and shapes on the canvas.
With Globalism, the space is all about establishing control and distribution points for goods and services. Its about erasing
borders and nations. Its about co-opting the notion of a unified planet, in order to broadcast fake cheesy messages of
universal share and care. Its about every individual having his place.
When I began painting in 1962, one of the first things I noticed was the abundance of space - on each canvas. Waiting to be
shaped. The psychological carry-over was enormous. The notion of fitting into a position in life disintegrated. It made no
sense and had no impact.
Globalism is a hustle in a long, long line of planetary hustles. It erects a space and claims it is the future for all. Its a minor,
minor painting by a group of minor artists, hardly worthy of a spot on the wall of a second-rate museum.
If we were living in a reasonably aware society, many people would be asking themselves: What space do I want to invent,
and for what purpose?
Which of course takes things back to the individual and his inner resources. And away from overarching ideologies
with their perverse themes.
If you were a painter, what would you paint? That question is a lot like asking: if you could invent your future and all the
space that comes with it, what would you do?
To come up with an answer, you dont need any of the GPS reference points of Globalism. They would only be a hindrance.
They would be delusions, masking your power.
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a
more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty,
and I am proud of it.
- David Rockefeller, Memoirs, 2002

The man who wrote those words represents a family that has dominated banking, oil, modern medicine, behind-the-scenes
politics, and powerhouses of Globalism (e.g., the Council on Foreign Relations) for a century.
Globalism asserts that no nation can be independent from the family of other nations, as if it were a matter of fact
beyond dispute. A nation claiming its sovereignty thus becomes a lunatic traitor to the natural order of things.
What really binds nations to one another is propaganda, and treaties which are based on the same propaganda,
resulting in engorged super-profits for mega-corporations.
Globalism is a secular piece of messianic hype. A Disneyesque altruism is the prow of the ship. Spend 10 minutes
educating any street hustler on Globalist principles, and he would recognize it as a standard con.
Obamas warning to the Brits, that their withdrawing from the Globalist European Union would put them at the back of the
line in negotiating a separate trade treaty with the United States, was sheer fiction.
Britain, or any nation, that has goods to sell and a desire to buy will find trade partners. An agreement could be scratched
out on a napkin over dinner.
Impending trade deals like the TPP and TTIP are thousands of pages and take so long to negotiate, because the heavy
hitters at the table are looking for new ingenious ways to cut and paste the world into larger profits for themselves.
Globalism, hiding behind thousands of academic analyses, picks up jobs from one nation, where wages are reasonable and
working conditions are tolerable, and dumps them in hell holes where wages are nearly invisible and conditions are
poisonous.
Its that simple, and any moron could see how the job-exporting nations would sufferif by nations we meant people.
Instead of criminal corporations and criminal investors. But all this is layered over with share and care sop.
The United States government could repeal the NAFTA, CAFTA, and GATT trade treaties tomorrow, and throw current TPP
and TTIP negotiating documents out the windowand all would be well. Better. Much better.

For instance, without NAFTA, US producers wouldnt have been able to flood Mexico with cheap corn, throwing 1.5 million
Mexican corn farmers into bankruptcy, leading many of them to cross the border and come to the US to find work.
No US President since Nixon has disturbed the march of Globalist free trade. All Presidents since then have been on
board with the Rockefeller plan. And the US economy - which is to say, jobs - has thus faltered.
The 2008 financial crash was only one factor in the decline. The promise of cheap imports for sale in the US - the
justification for free trade - doesnt work when people here have no jobs and no purchasing power.
Major media, fronting for free-trade, have panicked over Donald Trumps claim that hell reject Globalism. They would have
panicked over Bernie Sanders similar promise, if they thought he had any chance of defeating Hillary Clinton for the
Democratic nomination. The media have their orders from on high - the deck is stacked, the cards were dealt long ago.
Hillary Clinton mouths pathetic and empty generalities about creating jobs. Small tax breaks for small businesses
that share profits with employees, the removal of government red tape, funding breakthroughs in scientific
and medical research, expanding job training opportunities - the truth is, her basic method for stimulating the
economy has always been: find a war, any war, and fight it.
Now, let us consider The Individual. Is he just a tiny force pitted against a colossus?
No. Unless he sees himself that way. But what can he do?
First: find the thing within himself that defies the odds, supersedes the normal response, casts aside all ordinary
formulations of what he is.
That thing, that power is imagination. Imagination has the ability to come up with solutions and strategies - on both a
personal and planetary level - that have never been considered before. Imagination is the wild card.
Imagination belongs to The Individual.
The individual is not the group.
Exercises and techniques for accessing and deploying imaginationthese would be essential. Exercises that
allow the individual to reinstate his basic creative position in life. Exercises that allow the individual to use his
imagination in many different ways. Ramping up power.
- Preliminary notes for Exit From the Matrix, Jon Rappoport

What does the individual have to offer? He has everything he is capable of doing, when he liberates himself from petty ideas
and limitations about what he is. That journey of liberation is his own. It isnt anybody elses.
It is, as Ive pointed out many times, a journey of imagination. Imagination lets a person know what could exist but doesnt
now exist. Imagination lets a person know what he could invent. Imagination lets a person know that, despite claims to the
contrary, the future is open and unwritten.
Imagination lets a person know that he can think thoughts that have never been thought before. The journey of individual
liberation is, therefore, much more than discovering what already exists in ones own mind.
The world as it is, things as they are, Globalism as it is, collectivism, the group - this is the sensation of depleted
imagination.
Of course, imagination never diminishes, it just waits. For you.
The deployment of imagination unlocks hidden energies. A power, sought after and never found in other endeavors,
appears.
Imagination is larger than any universe. It needs no sanction from the world. It is not some secret form of physics. It is not
religion. It is not cosmology. It is not any one picture of anything. Its what you invent.
The Collective does not have imagination. It poaches on individuals with imagination. The Collective is a graveyard where
imagination has been downgraded and forgotten.
Imagination soars. It is the individual at the edge of his own exploration.
Imagination was the source for the building of modern civilization. But then civilization became dedicated to itself AS THE
GROUP.
The individual never goes away, and neither does his imagination. Imagination can light up a room, a house, a city, a nation,
a planet, a galaxy, a universe.
So what will the individual do about Globalism?
The challenge isnt going to be resolved by taking mere traditional approaches. It isnt going to be solved by thinking along
traditional lines. People tend to ask for answers - but what if the ordinary answers dont work?
What if something else has to happen?

What if many individuals have to wake up to the range and scope and power of their own imaginationsand come up with
new answers? What if thats the case?
What if thats the exit from the situation in which we find ourselves?
It IS the exit.
Soros Hacked: US Billionaire Manipulated Europeans Into Accepting Maidan
The bulk of George Soros' documents hacked and published on DC Leaks website shed the light on the magnates'
meddling into Ukrainian affairs and shaping public opinion in Western Europe regarding the February coup of 2014
in Kiev through a series of projects and media campaigns.
DC Leaks' release of almost 2,576 files from groups run by US billionaire George Soros, has exposed the magnate's
involvement in Ukraine's Euromaidan affairs as well as manipulation of public opinion in Western and Southern Europe in
order to "legalize" the February 2014 coup in Kiev.
"The emergence of a New Ukraine carries with it the opportunity to reinvigorate the European project," read a 2015
document by the Open Society Initiative for Europe (OSIFE) entitled "The Ukraine debate in Western Europe."
"However, this is complicated by the reluctance of some EU actors to accept the Maidan revolution as democratic
and the Ukrainian government as legitimate.
These actors have their own agendas - related to geopolitical and economic considerations with Russia - and will
therefore be difficult to influence," the OSIFE document underscored, adding that "for other groups and individuals,
on the political left and across various social movements, one can detect confusion regarding the state of affairs in
Ukraine."
OSIFE specified that this "second group" comprised key opinion-makers, a number of traditional mainstream players,
emerging political parties - especially in Southern Europe - such as M5S in Italy, Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece,
and "a wide range of liberal NGOs in western Europe."
In order to tackle the "problem," the organization offered to kick off a series of initiatives aimed at shaping public opinion in
the West regarding the Ukrainian affairs.
The document revealed that OSIFE pursued three major objectives.
First, it sought to "stimulate debate and doubt in those democratic left movements, parties and audiences of
Western Europe where a negative perception of the transformation of Ukraine is hegemonic, or very preponderant."
Second, it wanted to "discredit the idea that the independence and integrity of Ukraine is an ideological cause of
the Right."
Third, OSIFE intended to "influence the way information about Ukraine is heard and perceived in Southern
Europe, especially among the group of doubters."
The issue was dramatically complicated by the fact that the major driving forces of the so-called "Euromaidan Revolution" of
February 2014 were the Ukrainian far-right groups, most notably the nationalist All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda and Right
Sector, founded by ultra-right Trident and the Ukrainian National Assembly-Ukrainian National Self-Defense (UNA-UNSO)
paramilitary group.

Youre Looking At The Greatest Monetary Policy Experiment In History:

Lord Rothschild
August 19 2016 | From: Geopolitics
Currently, the world is experiencing the greatest financial experiment ever in history. Those are the
words of a Rothschild referring to the low interest rates, negative yields on government debt and
quantitative easing
that have been implemented throughout their entire fiat banking system, i.e. most central banks on the planet, in
order to mitigate the effects of the switch to asset-based financial instruments initiated by the BRICS Alliance.
Related: The Khazarian Global Checkmate Has Been Sealed
RT reports:
Low interest rates, negative yields on government debt and quantitative easing are part of the biggest financial experiment
in world history, and the consequences are yet unknown, says RIT Capital Partners Chairman Lord Rothschild.
The six months under review have seen central bankers continuing what is surely the greatest experiment in
monetary policy in the history of the world. We are therefore in uncharted waters and it is impossible to predict the
unintended consequences of very low interest rates, with some 30 percent of global government debt at negative
yields, combined with quantitative easing on a massive scale, Rothschild writes in the companys semi-annual
financial report.
The banker notes this policy has led to a rapid growth of stock markets US stocks have grown threefold since 2008 with
investments growing and volatility remaining low.
However, the real sector of economy didnt enjoy such a profit, as growth remains anemic, with weak demand and deflation
in many parts of the developed world, according to Rothschild.
The billionaire underlined that many risks remain for the global economy with the deteriorating geopolitical situation. Among
those risks Rothschild included Britains vote to leave the European Union, the US presidential election, and Chinas slowing
economic growth. Another risk is global terrorism, which Rothschild says is a consequence of the continuing conflict in the
Middle East.
According to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report in June, interest rates in developed countries, in particular Americas
0.5 percent, are now at the lowest level in 5,000 years. In their battle against deflation, countries such as Sweden,
Switzerland or Japan have even turned to negative key lending rates.
Another woe is negative yields on government bonds. In June, 10-year German government bonds dipped below 0 percent
for the first time in history. Janus Capital has estimated that global yields are the lowest in 500 years, and the total amount
of such bonds is $10 trillion. The investment groups lead portfolio manager, Bill Gross, is calling it a supernova that will
explode one day.
They can admit the experiment theyre doing on your lives because they know [most of you] you would do nothing about it.

With the upcoming celebrations around the 2016 NZ DIA (NZ Defense Industry Association) Forum

celebrations, Operation Neptune, I took a peek at their website.
You can reserve your sponsorship spot with cocktails and trimmings for just $10,000.

This is an issue which has been raised on numerous occasions with progressive organizations and WSF activists: you cannot
effectively confront neoliberalism and the New World Order elites and expect them to finance your activities.
The NZ DIA was formed in 1993, as an industry development initiative. Its major emphasis today is on networking,
and encouraging the membership to work together on developing joint approaches to defence projects in NZ and
overseas
Right there in the DIAs mission statement is the strategic use of the word defence. The corporate bankers have need of
war, its an integral part of the Rothschild banking empire, however, in order to not be too obvious, they need to sanitize it with
nicer words.
Profiteering from war is no conspiracy but documented fact.

Cheneys Halliburton made $39.5 billion on the Iraq war. My elderly father who fought in one of the World Wars and was
fortunate enough to return alive, had worked out that fact later in life that wars would never end because wars make
money. His oldest brother, a machine gunner, so deeply affected, he wept whenever he talked about war.
So, there on the DIAs website is the standard tribute of poppies to these brave men who served as basically cannon fodder
for the war machine, a machine peopled by those who never spent one minute in trenches and never experienced the terror
of combat.
Remember Mrs Rothschilds infamous words if my sons did not want war there would be none.
Returning to the planned forum for November this year, Keys corporation parading as a government (NZ is a US SEC
registered corporation) put out a White Paper that was compiled we are told from the publics and the academic communitys
views, involving over 300 written submissions and meetings around the country. (See White Paper info here also).

Corporations are about profits. We are told in the White Paper that terrorism remains an enduring global problem.
Those who do their own research will know that the so called war on terror has been effectively drummed up since the very
dodgy 9/11 attack that looked extremely like a controlled demolition.
And the current threat to security, ISIS, has equally dodgy

origins (watch Truth Media: the Origin of ISIS for more info on
that).
The war industry is ticking along quite nicely in Aotearoa with

banker Key at the helm, and synchronising equally as nicely with
his growing partnership with the US.
"The Government[corporation] says Key, has provided

What I find particularly distasteful about this whole affair is the spin. One of my favourite investigative journalists John Pilger,
describes their convoluted rhetoric so well in his essay, Arming the World (in his book Hidden Agendas p 115). Describing
the weapons (defence) industry he says:
Refined absurdity is always close at hand in the arms business. It squeezes into bed with secrecy, corruption and
stupendous greed.
Asking what a British cluster bomb does (gleaming under soft backlight, like the latest showroom Jaguar) he is told they
need his request in writing for MOD approval as the information is classified, the reason for which is also classified.
The cluster bomb, Pilger explains:
Is not really a bomb at all, but an area denial sub-munition, a land mine in all but name. It is dropped from the air
and explodes into forty-seven little mines, which are shaped like spiders."
These are scattered over a wide area and deny life to anything that moves or grows. Theyve been found says Pilger, in
Bosnia and Croatia where between two and four million mines threaten to main and kill long after the war ends.
These salesmen he says, have great difficulty saying words like people, maim and kill. Describing a cluster
bombs effectiveness he cites the little girl who in a Vietnam village lost her family
My mother and father were lying there covered in blood, and my sister had pieces of metal in her, and so did
her doll.
The corporates know it is wrong, trading in weapons (theyre not averse to supplying both sides), this is why they have
difficulty with these words.
There is enough of old fashioned conscience there for them to need to cover their wording well, however not enough to stop
the killing by curtailing their obscene greed.
They are therefore very adept at reframing and repackaging. And so the weapons trade becomes the defence trade.

upcoming conference. Corporate sponsorship of cocktails and food depending on your budget:
However, if youre a bit strapped for cash, theres always the $5,000 slot minus cocktails and food.
A list of members of the NZ DIA can be seen here. You will see Fulton Hogan (that company that liberally sprays your streets
and public places with carcinogenic glyphosate) along with Lockheed Martin and others. All proudly members of the Defence /
Industry partnership.
And to put the proverbial icing on the cake, there are even awards for improvement to defence industry relationships.
The Award will identify the Defence person or persons who have best contributed to building or improving the
Defence / Industry relationship.
The aim of the Award is to publicly recognise good performance in this area and provide the opportunity for the NZ
DIA and Defence to promote constructive and collegial relationships between Defence and Industry."
Your PM Key continues to tax himself and friends at 2.8%, continues to profit from your countrys indebtedness and the so
called global war on terrorism, and is intent on the TPPA agreement which will give both he and his corporate friends even
more control. Lets face it, he is likely not too interested in changing any of the current status quo.

Rockefeller, Ford Foundations Behind World Social Forum (WSF): The Corporate
Funding Of Social Activism
August 14 2016 | From: GlobalResearch
This year the World Social Forum is being held in Montreal, regrouping committed social activists,
anti-war collectives and prominent intellectuals.
Most of the participants are unaware that the WSF is funded by corporate foundations including Ford, Rockefeller,
Tides, et al. Much of this funding is channelled to the WSF organizers under the helm of the WSF International
Council.
This is an issue which has been raised on numerous occasions with progressive organizations and WSF activists: you
cannot effectively confront neoliberalism and the New World Order elites and expect them to finance your activities.
The World Social Forum operating under the banner of Another World is Possible was founded in 2001 at its inaugural
venue of Porto Alegre. Brazil.
From the outset in 2001, the WSF has been upheld as an international umbrella representing grassroots peoples
organizations, committed to reversing the tide of globalization. Its stated intent is to challenge corporate capitalism and its
dominant neoliberal economic agenda.
The World Social Forum at its inaugural meeting defined itself as a counter-offensive to the World Economic Forum (WEF)
of business leaders and politicians which meets annually in Davos, Switzerland. The 2001 Porto Alegre WSF was held
simultaneously with that of the WEF in Davos.
While there have been many important accomplishments of the WSF, largely as a result of the commitment of grassroots
activists, the core leadership of WSF rather than effectively confronting the New World Order elites has (often
unwittingly) have served their corporate interests. In this process, co-optation has been achieved through the corporate
funding of the WSF.
Among the two major accomplishments are the participation of the WSF in the February 2003 Worldwide protest against the
US led war on Iraq. The WSF has also supported progressive movements and governments, particularly in Latin America.
In contrast, at the Tunis 2013 WSF, the final declaration paid lip service to to the US sponsored Syrian opposition.
Similarly the Al Qaeda affiliated Libya Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) which allegedly led the Arab Spring against the
government of Muammar Gaddafi was tacitly upheld as a revolutionary force. Several workshops on Libya applauded
Western military intervention.
A session entitled Libyas transition to democracy focused on whether Libya was better off without Muammar Gaddafi.
Funding Dissent
From the outset in 2001, the World Social Forum was funded by governments and corporate foundations, including the Ford
Foundation which has ties to US intelligence.
The anti-globalization movement is opposed to Wall Street and the Texas oil giants controlled by Rockefeller, et al. Yet the
foundations and charities of Ford, Rockefeller et al will generously fund progressive anti-capitalist networks as well as
environmentalists (opposed to Wall Street and Big Oil), etc. with a view to ultimately overseeing and shaping their various
activities.
The mechanisms of manufacturing dissent require a manipulative environment, a process of arm-twisting and subtle co-
optation of a small number of key individuals within progressive organizations, including anti-war coalitions,
environmentalists and the anti-globalization movement. Many leaders of these organizations have in a sense betrayed their
grassroots.
The corporations are funding dissent with a view to controlling dissent.
The Ford Foundation (which has links to the CIA) provided funding under its Strengthening Global Civil Society program
during the first three years of the WSF.
When the WSF was held in Mumbai in 2004, the Indian WSF host committee declined support from the Ford Foundation.
This in itself did not modify the WSFs relationship to the donors. While the Ford Foundation formally withdrew, other
foundations positioned themselves.
The WSF (among several sources of funding is supported by a consortium of corporate foundations under the advisory
umbrella of Engaged Donors for Global Equity (EDGE).
This organization, which previously went under the name of The Funders Network on Trade and Globalization (FTNG),
has played a central role in the funding of successive WSF venues. From the outset in 2001, it had an observer status on
the WSF International Council.
In 2013, the Rockefeller Brothers representative Tom Kruse co-chaired EDGEs program committee. At the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund, Kruse was responsible for Global Governance under the Democratic Practice program. Rockefeller
Brothers grants to NGOs are approved under the Strengthening Democracy in Global Governance program, which is
broadly similar to that put forth by the US State Department.
A representative of the Open Society Initiative for Europe currently sits on EDGEs Board of directors. The Wallace Global
Fund is also on its Board of Directors. The Wallace Global Fund is specialized in providing support to mainstream NGOs
and alternative media, including Amnesty International, Democracy Now (which supports Hillary Clintons candidacy for
president of the US).
Several members of the EDGE BoD, however, are from non-corporative and family foundations with a social mandate. (see
below).
In one of its key documents (2012), entitled Funders Network Alliance In Support of Grassroots Organizing and Movement-
Building (link no longer available)EDGE acknowledged its support of social movements which challenge neoliberal market
fundamentalism. including the World Social Forum, established in 2001:
From the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas (1994) to the Battle in Seattle (1999) to the creation of the World Social
Forum in Porto Alegre (2001), the TINA years of Reagan and Thatcher (There Is No Alternative) have been
replaced with the growing conviction that another world is possible.
Counter-summits, global campaigns and social forums have been crucial spaces to articulate local struggles, share
experiences and analyses, develop expertise, and build concrete forms of international solidarity among
progressive movements for social, economic and ecological justice.
But at the same time, there is an obvious contradiction: another world is not possible when the campaign against
neoliberalism is financed by an alliance of corporate donors firmly committed to neoliberalism and the US-NATO military
agenda.
The following is the EDGE Montreal WSF Communique. The donors not only fund the activities, they also influence the
structure of the WSF venue, which was determined in Puerto Alegre in 2001, namely the decentralized and dispersed
mosaic of do it yourself workshops.
With regard to the Montreal WSF, the Consortium of Donors (EDGE) intent is:
to develop an intersectional space for funders and various movement partners organizers thought leaders and
practitioners to build alignment by cultivating a shared understanding of the visions, values, principles and
pathways of a just transition. (See edgefunders.org)
Just Transition implies that social activism has to conform to a shared vision with the corporate foundations, i.e. nothing
which in a meaningful way might upset the elite structures of global capitalism.
From the standpoint of the corporate donors investing in the WSF constitutes a profitable (tax deductible) undertaking. It
ensures that activism remains within the confines of constructive dialogue and critique rather than confrontation. Any
deviation immediately results in the curtailment of donor funding:
Everything the [Ford] Foundation did could be regarded as making the World safe for capitalism, reducing social
tensions by helping to comfort the afflicted, provide safety valves for the angry, and improve the functioning of
government (McGeorge Bundy, National Security Advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson
(1961-1966), President of the Ford Foundation, (1966-1979))
The limits of social dissent are thereby determined by the governance structure of the WSF, which was tacitly agreed
upon with the funding agencies at the outset in 2001.
No Leaders
The WSF has no leaders. All the events are self-organized. The structure of debate and activism is part of an an open
space (See y Francine Mestrum, The World Social Forum and its governance: a multi-headed monster, CADTM, 27 April
2013, at cadtm.org).
This compartmentalized structure is an obstacle to the development of a meaningful and articulate mass movement.
How best to control grassroots dissent against global capitalism?
Make sure that their leaders can be easily co-opted and that the rank and file will not develop forms of international
solidarity among progressive movements (to use EDGEs own words), which in any meaningful way might undermine the
interests of corporate capital.
The mosaic of separate WSF workshops, the relative absence of plenary sessions, the creation of divisions within and
between social movements, not to mention the absence of a cohesive and unified platform against the Wall Street corporate
elites, against the fake US sponsored global war on terrorism, which has been used to justify and US-
NATOs humanitarian R2P interventions (Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, etc).
The corporate agenda is to manufacture dissent.The limits of dissent are established by the foundations and
governments which ultimately finance this multimillion dollar venue.
The financing is twofold:
1. Core financing of the WSF Secretariat and the Costs of the WSF venue.
2. Many of the constituent NGOs which participate in the venue are recipients of donor and / or government
support.
3. The WSF venue in Montreal also receives funding from the Government of Canada as well as from the Quebec
provincial government.
What ultimately prevails is a ritual of dissent which does not threaten the New World Order. Those who attend the WSF from
the grassroots are often misled by their leaders. Activists who do not share the WSF consensus will ultimately be excluded:
By providing the funding and the policy framework to many concerned and dedicated people working within the
non-profit sector, the ruling class is able to co-opt leadership from grassroots communities,
and is able to make the funding, accounting, and evaluation components of the work so time consuming and
onerous that social justice work is virtually impossible under these conditions
- Paul Kivel, You Call this Democracy, Who Benefits, Who Pays and Who Really Decides, 2004, p. 122
Another World is Possible is nonetheless an important concept, which characterizes the struggle of the peoples
movements against global capitalism as well as the commitment of thousands of committed activists who are currently
participated in the Montreal 2016 WSF.
Activism is being manipulated: Another World is Possible cannot, however, be achieved under the auspices of the WSF
which from the outset was funded by global capitalism and organized in close liaison with its corporate and government
donors.
The important question for activists in Montreal:
Is it possible to build an Alternative to global capitalism, which challenges the hegemony of the Rockefellers et al
and then asks the Rockefellers et al to foot the bill?
We call upon participants of the Montreal World Social Forum (WSF) to raise and debate these issues: the campaign
against neoliberalism is financed by corporate foundations (and governments) which are firmly committed not only to the
tenets of neoliberalism but also to the US-NATO led military agenda.
Why would they fund organizations which are actively campaigning against war and globalization? The answer is obvious.
Varoufakis Alert: Financialized Capital May Choose To Support Fascists + On The

Need To Re-Boot The World Economy
August 12 2016 | From: KiwiWatch / YanisVaroufakis / SOTT
Yanis Varoufakis had the audacity to tell the European banking and political elite something
everyone else knows is true. Greece is bankrupt we cannot pay! Lets negotiate our way out of
this.
He was forced to resign after being let down by the current Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras who came to power to
fight austerity and who folded to German banking demands. His thinking however is clear.
Varoufakis alert: financialized capital may choose to support fascists
Eric Draitser sits down with economist, and former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis to discuss the shifts in the
political landscape of both Europe and the US, and what they mean for political activism and progressive politics.
Eric and Yanis discuss the nature of the EU and whether it can be reformed or democratized, as well as the forces at play
within it. The conversation also touches on the US election as Yanis and Eric debate the utility of lesser evil politics, while
also examining the ascendance of the fascist right in Europe and the US, with particular attention to the Brexit vote and its
implications.
The bond bubble and potential economic collapse, the long view of the 2008 crisis, the importance of addressing climate
change, the necessity of internationalism, and many other topics are discussed in this wide-ranging interview with one of the
best economic minds in the world today.
- GlobalInfoFreeExchange
Some interesting parts of Varoufakis comments:
Brexit is also an economic phenomenon. Its not just a political revolt against the elites, against the EU, against the city of
London the bankers. The main reason why the English, not the British, the English working class voted to get out of the
EU, is the slow burning recession.
The fact that living standards in almost every town outside of London, within England is depressed. You walk through city
centers in Doncaster, in Leeds, in York and all you find is misery and desperation. A whole working class feels utterly
abandoned by the elites, even by the Labor Party, the Social-Democrats, and this is the reason why Brexit won.
The period between 2010 and today can be seen from a Greek perspective as an experiment. Greece was a laboratory in
which the globalized/financialized elites experimented with how they would try to deal with a crisis of their own making. And
the experiment produced monsters.
One of these monsters is the neo-nazis of Golden Dawn. The Donald Trump experience is also quite intimately connected.
The very notion that you have somebody like Trump running as candidate of one of the two major political parties in the US,
back in 2010-2012 it would be absurd.
The cruel, vicious austerity policies that were created in the Greek laboratory were then exported to the rest of Europe. This
experiment backfired because you can never deal with financial crisis through austerity.
This is one thing weve learned from the early 1930s which gave rise to the nazis in Germany. A period of deflation gave rise
to the worst kind of xenophobic Right-Wing populism. And this is what we have in the form of the Golden Dawn thugs hitting
Greece, Donald Trump in the US, the Right-Wing Brexiters in Britain.
What we have now is a bifurcation, word-wide not just in Greece, we are seeing the formation of two political blocs. One is
very similar to the troika of creditors that we had to deal with in Greece last year, who crushed us in the end.
Its a technocracy of globalized, financial capital, together with bureaucrats that want to spread their wings and
power globally.
They also corporate Atlanticists, those who want to utilize brute force in order to become, or remain the policemen of the
Cosmos. This political bloc of globalized, financialized Atlanticists have developed a capacity to be more tolerant with
minorities, less tolerant with racism, quite relaxed about migration, as long as it doesnt threaten their political capital.
In opposition to that, we have the xenophobic Populist Right, which is investing on racism, fear and nativist myths about the
return to some kind of kingship within the nation-state where you erect walls around your country the riffraff away. It is this
toxic confrontation between the nativists xenophobic Populist Right and the financialized, globalized Atlanticists pack who
dont even know how to stabilize the world that they aspired to create.
This conflict is always going to give rise to rather unpleasant developments for the whole of humanity. Hillary Clinton never
was and never will be part of the Left. The Social-Democrats in Germany are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
We have an opportunity now to cease upon the way this global economic and political crisis is developing, in order to do
what we failed to do in the 1930s. In other words, to create a solid, internationalist, progressive bloc that opposes the vicious
cycle between the globalization elites and the xenophobic populist reaction to it.
Hillary Clinton is part of the problem. Hillary Clinton run an outrageously, scandalously, sinister campaign against Bernie
Sanders. Hillary Clinton is in the pocket of the establishment. Hillary Clinton will probably start another war.
The crisis that hit us in 2008 has never gone away. It is simply transforming itself taking different guises and different parts
of the world even within our own countries. One day its the crisis of banks, the next day its the crisis of real investment, the
third day its the crisis of deteriorating the jobs quality and so on. But the crisis of Capitalism that hit us in 2008, just like the
crisis of Capitalism that hit in 1929 did not go away until the beginning of the WWII.
If you look at the 1920s and 1930s, fascism became dominant, hegemonic and took over governments with mass support,
only when industrial capital, at some point, in order to stem the rise of the Left Wing that was antithetical to capitals
interests, threw their lot in with the fascists. It was the support of industrialists in Germany and Italy that gave rise to the
nazis and the fascist governments.
So far, the establishment, the financialized capital, military-industrial complex and so on, have not thrown the lot in with the
fascists movements. Its what keeping them from power, but we should not take it for granted that this wont happen and we
should be prepared.

On The Need To Re-Boot The World Economy

Interviewed by David de Jong, Bloomberg News
We spoke to Yanis Varoufakis about what it would take to get the global economy back on track and restore investor
confidence. As you might expect, he had a very original perspective, and the economics to back it up.
Yanis Varoufakis on the European Constituion, Economic Disintegration and

Orwellianism
In this video the former finance minister of Greece and founder of DiEM25 (Democracy in Europe Movement 2025), Yanis
Varoufakis, provides us an insight into why the European constitution does not represent the people of Europe and lacks
substance.
He also talks about disintegration of the European Union, what forces are driving its demise and how Orwellian language is
used to hide this.
Do we have a constitution that represents the voice of the European people?
Could the EU disintegrate in the near future?
What are the observations that are pointing towards a disintegrating European Union?
Is Orwellianism being employed to deceive the population?
These questions and more are addressed in this video.
HSBC Global Head Of FX Cash Trading Arrested At JFK Airport

July 22 2016 | From: ZeroHedge
A historic event took place today ago when Mark Johnson, the global head of cash FX at HSBC
was arrested at JFK airport for his role in a "conspiracy to rig currency benchmarks", and
specifically for frontrunning customer orders. He is the first person charged by the US in the
ongoing FX rigging probe.
As Bloomberg reports, a "senior manager at HSBC Holdings Plc was arrested in New York for his role in a
conspiracy to rig currency benchmarks, according to two people familiar with the matter, becoming the first person
to be charged in the Justice Departments three-year investigation into foreign-exchange rigging at global banks."
The DOJ adds that Mark Johnson, 50, a U.K. citizen and U.K. and U.S. resident, and Stuart Scott, 43, a U.K. citizen and
resident, were charged by complaint with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Johnson was arrested last night at JFK
International Airport in Queens, New York, and will be arraigned later today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom of the
Eastern District of New York.
From his bio: Johnson is global head of foreign exchange cash trading at HSBC, based in London. Prior to joining HSBC in
2010, he was founding managing partner and chief investment officer at Johnson Stewart Partners. Before that, he was
global head of trading at Deutsche Bank.
More details:
Mark Johnson, HSBCs global head of foreign exchange cash trading in London, was taken into custody at John F.
Kennedy International Airport Tuesday and is scheduled to appear before a judge in federal court in Brooklyn
Wednesday morning, said the people, who asked not to be named because the case hasnt been made public.
Hes charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, the people said.
According to Bloomberg, Johnsons arrest comes more than a year after five global banks pleaded guilty to
charges related to the rigging of currency benchmarks. HSBC, which wasnt part of those criminal cases, in
November 2014 agreed to pay $618 million in penalties to U.S. and British regulators to resolve currency
manipulation allegations.
HSBC, which still faces investigations by the Justice Department and other authorities for the conduct, has set
aside $1.3 billion for possible settlements, according to an August filing.
Rob Sherman, an HSBC spokesman, and Peter Carr, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to comment.
From the DOJ complaint:

As alleged, the defendants placed personal and company profits ahead of their duties of trust and confidentiality
owed to their client, and in doing so, defrauded their client of millions of dollars, stated United States Attorney
Capers.
When questioned by their client about the higher price paid for their significant transaction, the defendants wove a
web of lies designed to conceal the truth and divert attention away from their fraudulent trades.
The charges and arrest announced today reflect our steadfast commitment to hold accountable corporate
executives and licensed professionals who use their positions to fraudulently enrich themselves.
The defendants allegedly betrayed their clients confidence, and corruptly manipulated the foreign exchange
market to benefit themselves and their bank, said Assistant Attorney General Caldwell.
This case demonstrates the Criminal Divisions commitment to hold corporate executives, including at the worlds
largest and most sophisticated institutions, responsible for their crimes.
The full details, as revealed in the DOJ complaint, allege that in November and December 2011, Johnson and Scott
misused information provided to them by a client that hired HSBC to execute a foreign exchange transaction related to a
planned sale of one of the clients foreign subsidiaries.
HSBC was selected to execute the foreign exchange transaction which was going to require converting approximately
$3.5 billion in sales proceeds into British Pound Sterling in October 2011.
HSBCs agreement with the client required the bank to keep the details of the clients planned transaction
confidential. Instead, Johnson and Scott allegedly misused confidential information they received about the clients
transaction.
On multiple occasions, Johnson and Scott allegedly purchased Pound Sterling for HSBCs proprietary accounts,
which they held until the clients planned transaction was executed.
The complaint alleges that, as part of the scheme, both Johnson and Scott made misrepresentations to the client about the
planned foreign exchange transaction that concealed the self-serving nature of their actions.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Johnson and Scott caused the $3.5 billion foreign exchange transaction to be
executed in a manner that was designed to spike the price of the Pound Sterling, to the benefit of HSBC and at the expense
of their client.
In total, HSBC allegedly generated profits of roughly $8,000,000 from its execution of the FX Transaction for the Victim
Company, including profits generated from the front running conduct by Johnson, Scott, and other traders whom they
directed.
...
Also on Tuesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve banned former UBS Group AG trader Matthew Gardiner from the banking
industry for life for his role rigging currency benchmarks.
Gardiner used electronic chat rooms, with names including The Cartel and The Mafia, to facilitate the rigging of foreign-
exchange benchmarks and to disclose confidential customer information to traders at other banks, the Fed said in
astatement Tuesday. That matter is separate from the one involving Johnson, the people said.
Recall that DOJ unwillingness to prosecute HSBC was the ultimate catalyst that prompted former AG Eric Holder to admit
that some banks are "too big to prosecute." Perhaps with this arrest things are slowly starting to change.
Now, if frontrunning clients is officially an arrest-worthy offense, we can't wait for the DOJ to unleash a crackdown on
criminal HFT algos whose only purpose in "life" is to do just that.

Some have even likened Serco to the infamous Umbrella Corporation of the Resident Evil game and movie franchises, in
that it's tentacles stretch all around the world into numbers markets and industries.
Looking at the interests of Serco, it is not hard to see how such a parallel could be drawn:
The following video is a segment from the ABC's Australian production 'Hungry Beast' which identifies the
multinational giant 'Serco Sodexo' as an intercontinental beast whose tentacles reach from boarder to boarder.
As the ABC point out Serco run the Australian prison and immigration detention centres, soon to be the largest operator of
private prisons in the UK. They run half of London's Traffic Lights and all of Dublin's.
They are the largest Air Traffic Controllers in the World, multinational transportation services provider and hold a multitude of
Defence Security Contracts across the globe. They even run everything from Schools to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Serco runs navy patrol boats for the ADF, as well as search and salvage operations through their partnership with
P&O which form Maritime Defense Services.
Serco runs two Australian Jails already, Acacia in WA and Borallon in Queensland
Theyre one of the biggest companies In the UK for running electronic tagging of offenders under house arrest or

How George Soros Singlehandedly Created The European Refugee Crisis - And Why
July 11 2016 | From: GarretGalland
Rothschild bag man George Soros could seamlessly step into the role as the real-life version of a
super-villain in a James Bond novel. To give credit where credit is due, Stephen did the
considerable leg work for this article and what he uncovered surprised even me.
George Soros is trading again. The 85-year-old political activist and philanthropist hit the headlines post-Brexit
saying the event had unleashed a financial-market crisis.
Related: George Soros: A Psychopaths Psychopath
Well, the crisis hasnt hit Soros just yet. He was once again on the right side of the trade, taking a short position in troubled
Deutsche Bank and betting against the S&P via a 2.1-million-share put option on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF.
More interestingly, Soros recently took out a $264 million position in Barrick Gold, whose share price has jumped over 14%
since Brexit. Along with this trade, Soros has sold his positions in many of his traditional holdings.
Soros had recently announced he was coming out of retirement, again.

First retiring in 2000, the only other time Soros has publicly re-entered the markets was in 2007, when he placed a number of
bearish bets on US housing and ultimately made a profit of over $1 billion from the trades.
Since the 1980s, Soros has actively been pursuing a globalist agenda; he advances this agenda through his Open Society
Foundations (OSF).
What is this globalist agenda, and where does it come from?
The Humble Beginnings
The globalist seed was sowed for young George by his father, Tivadar, a Jewish lawyer who was a strong proponent of
Esperanto. Esperanto is a language created in 1887 by L.L. Zamenhof, a Polish eye doctor, for the purpose of transcending
national borders and overcoming the natural indifference of mankind.
Tivadar taught young George Esperanto and forced him to speak it at home. In 1936, as Hitler was hosting the Olympics in
Berlin, Tivadar changed the family name from Schwartz to Soros, an Esperanto word meaning will soar.
George Soros, who was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, benefited greatly from his fathers decision.
Allegedly, in 1944, 14-year-old George Soros went to work for the invading Nazis. It is said that until the end of the war in
1945, he worked with a government official, helping him confiscate property from the local Jewish population.
In an 1998 interview with 60 Minutes, Soros described the year of German occupation as the happiest time in my life.
Soross Venture into Finance
When the war ended, Soros moved to London and in 1947 enrolled in the London School of Economics where he studied
under Karl Popper, the Austrian-British philosopher who was one of the first proponents of an Open Society.
Soros then worked at several merchant banks in London before moving to New York in 1963. In 1970, he founded Soros
Fund Management and in 1973 created the Quantum Fund in partnership with investor Jim Rogers.
The fund made annual returns of over 30%, cementing Soross reputation and putting him in a position of powerone he
utilizes to this day to advance the agenda of his mentors.
The Currency Speculations That Threw Britain and Asia into Crisis
In the 1990s, Soros began a string of large bets against national currencies. The first was in 1992, when he sold short the
pound sterling and made a $1 billion profit in a single day.
His next big currency speculation came in 1997. This time Soros singled out the Thai baht and, with heavy short-selling
volume, destroyed the bahts artificial peg to the US dollar, which started the Asian financial crisis.
Humanitarian Efforts
Today, Soross net worth stands at $23 billion. Since taking a back seat in his company, Soros Fund Management, in 2000,
Soros has been focusing on his philanthropic efforts, which he carries out through the Open Society Foundations he founded
in 1993.
So who does he donate to, and what causes does he support?
During the 1980s and 1990s, Soros used his extraordinary wealth to bankroll and fund revolutions in dozens of European
nations, including Czechoslovakia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia. He achieved this by funneling money to political opposition
parties, publishing houses, and independent media in these nations.
If you wonder why Soros meddled in these nations affairs, part of the answer may lie in the fact that during and after the
chaos, he invested heavily in assets in each of the respective countries.
He then used Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs to advise the fledgling governments to privatize all public assets
immediately, thus allowing Soros to sell the assets he had acquired during the turmoil into newly formed open markets.
Having succeeded in advancing his agenda in Europe through regime change - and profiting in the process - he soon turned
his attention to the big stage, the United States.
The Big Time
In 2004, Soros stated;
"I deeply believe in the values of an open society. For the past 15 years I have been focusing my efforts abroad;
now I am doing it in the United States.
Since then, Soros has been funding groups such as:
The American Institute for Social Justice, whose aim is to transform poor communities through lobbying for increased
government spending on social programs
The New America Foundation, whose aim is to influence public opinion on such topics as environmentalism and global
governance
The Migration Policy Institute, whose aim is to bring about an illegal immigrant resettlement policy and increase social
welfare benefits for illegals
Soros also uses his Open Society Foundations to funnel money to the progressive media outlet, Media Matters.
Soros funnels the money through a number of leftist groups, including the Tides Foundation, Center for American Progress,
and the Democracy Alliance in order to circumvent the campaign finance laws he helped lobby for.
Why has Soros donated so much capital and effort to these organizations? For one simple reason: to buy political power.
Democratic politicians who go against the progressive narrative will see their funding cut and be attacked in media outlets
such as Media Matters, which also directly contribute to mainstream sites such as NBC, Al Jazeera, and The New York
Times.
Apart from the $5 billion Soross foundation has donated to groups like those cited above, he has also made huge
contributions to the Democratic Party and its most prominent members, like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and of course Bill and
Hillary Clinton.
Best Friends with the Clintons
Soross relationship with the Clintons goes back to 1993, around the time when OSF was founded. They have become close
friends, and their enduring relationship goes well beyond donor status.
According to the book, The Shadow Party, by Horowitz and

Poe, at a 2004 Take Back America conference where
Soros was speaking, the former first lady introduced him
saying;
"[W]e need people like George Soros, who is

fearless and willing to step up when it counts.
Soros began supporting Hillary Clintons current presidential

run in 2013, taking a senior role in the Ready for Hillary
group.
Since then, Soros has donated over $15 million to pro-

Clinton groups and Super PACs.
More recently, Soros has given more than $33 million to the
Black Lives Matter group, which has been involved in
outbreaks of social unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and
Baltimore, Maryland, in 2015.
Both of these incidents contributed to a worsening of race

relations across America.
The same group heavily criticized Democratic contender

Bernie Sanders for his alleged track record of supporting
racial inequality, helping to undercut him as a competitive
threat with one of Hillary Clintons most ardent
constituencies.
This, of course, greatly enhances the clout Soros wields through the groups mentioned above. It is safe to assume that he is
now able to drive Democratic policy, especially in an administration headed by Hillary Clinton.
Simply, what Soros wants, he gets. And its clear from his history that he wants to smudge away national borders and create
the sort of globalist nightmare represented by the European Union.
In recent years, Soros has turned his attention back to Europe. Is it a coincidence that the continent is currently in economic
and social disarray?
Another Home Run: the Ukrainian Conflict
Theres no doubt about Soross great influence on US foreign policy. In an October 1995 PBS interview with Charlie Rose, he
said, I do now have access [to US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott]. There is no question. We actually work together
[on Eastern European policy].
Soross meddling reared its ugly head again in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which began in early 2014.
In a May 2014 interview with CNN, Soros stated he was responsible for establishing a foundation in the Ukraine that
ultimately led to the overthrow of the countrys elected leader and the installation of a junta handpicked by the US State
Department, at the time headed by none other than Hillary Clinton:
CNN Host: First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you during the
revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in Eastern Europe and Poland, the
Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?
Soros: Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation
has been functioning ever since and played an important part in events now.
The war that ripped through the Ukrainian region of Donbass resulted in the deaths of over 10,000 people and the
displacement of over 1.4 million people. As collateral damage, a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet was shot down, killing all 298
on board.
But once again Soros was there to profit from the chaos he helped create. His prize in Ukraine was the state-owned energy
monopoly Naftogaz.
Soros again had his US cronies, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and US consulting company McKinsey, advise the
puppet government of Ukraine to privatize Naftogaz.
Although Soross exact stake in Naftogaz has not been disclosed, in a 2014 memo he pledged to invest up to $1 billion in
Ukrainian businesses, but no other Ukrainian holdings have since been reported.
His Latest Success: The European Refugee Crisis
Soross agenda is fundamentally about the destruction of national borders. This has recently been shown very clearly with his
funding of the European refugee crisis.
The refugee crisis has been blamed on the civil war currently raging in Syria. But did you ever wonder how all these
people suddenly knew Europe would open its gates and let them in?
The refugee crisis is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It coincided with OSF donating money to the US-based Migration
Policy Institute and the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, both Soros-sponsored
organizations.
Both groups advocate the resettlement of third-world Muslims into Europe.
In 2015, a Sky News reporter found Migrant Handbooks on the Greek island of Lesbos. It was later revealed that the
handbooks, which are written in Arabic, had been given to refugees before crossing the Mediterranean by a group
called Welcome to the EU.
Welcome to the EU is funded by - you guessed it - the Open Society Foundations.
Soros has not only backed groups that advocate the resettlement of third-world migrants into Europe, he in fact is the
architect of the Merkel Plan.
The massive Muslim integration into Europe is a Trojan Horse plan
The Merkel Plan was created by the European Stability Initiative whose chairman Gerald Knaus is a senior fellow at none
other than the Open Society Foundations.
Related: Atlantic Puppeteers: Who is Behind 'The Merkel Plan' and EU Refugee Policy
The plan proposes that Germany should grant asylum to 500,000 Syrian refugees. It also states that Germany, along with
other European nations, should agree to help Turkey, a country thats 98% Muslim, gain visa-free travel within the EU starting
in 2016.
Political Discourse
The refugee crisis has raised huge concern in European countries like Hungary. In response to 7,000 migrants entering
Hungarian territory per day in 2015, the Hungarian government reestablished border control in order to keep the hordes of
refugees from entering the country.
Of course this did not go down well with Soros and his close allies, the Clintons.
Bill Clinton has since come out and accused both Poland and Hungary of thinking democracy is too much trouble and
wanting to have a Putin-like authoritarian dictatorship.
Seeing through Clintons comments, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn responded by saying:
"The remarks made about Hungary and Poland have a political dimension. These are not accidental slips of the
tongue.
And these slips or remarks have been multiplying since we are living in the era of the migrant crisis.
And we all know that behind the leaders of the Democratic Party, we have to see George Soros.
He went on to say that although the mouth belongs to Clinton, the voice belongs to Soros.
Soros has since said of Orbns policy toward the migrants:
His plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle.
Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle.
Its hard to imagine that he could be any clearer in his globalist intentions.

The Profit Motive
So why is Soros going to such lengths to flood Europe with hordes of third-world Muslims? We cant be sure, but it has
recently come to light that Soros has taken a large series of bearish derivative positions against US stocks. Apparently, he
thinks that causing chaos in Europe will spread the contagion to the United States, thus sending US markets spiraling
downward.
The destruction of Europe through flooding it with millions of unassimilated Muslims is a direct plan to cause
economic and social chaos on the Continent.
Another example of turmoil equaling profit for George Soros, who seems to have his tentacles in most geopolitical events.
We all understand correlation is not causation. However, given Soross extraordinary wealth, political connections, and his
long track record of seeing and profiting from chaos, he is almost certainly a catalyst for much of the geopolitical turmoil now
occurring.
He is intent on destroying national borders and creating a global governance structure with unlimited powers.
From his comments directed toward Viktor Orbn, we can see he clearly views national leaders as his juniors, expecting them
to become puppets that sell his narrative to the ignorant masses.
Soros sees himself as a missionary carrying out the globalist agenda taught to him by his early mentors. He uses his vast
political connections to influence government policy and create crises, both economic and social, to further this agenda.
By all appearances, Soros is conspiring against humanity and is hell-bent on the destruction of Western
democracies.
To any rational thinker, some global events just dont make sense. Why, for example, would Western democracies take in
millions of people whose values are completely incompatible with their own?
When we look closely at the agenda being actively promoted by the leading globalist puppet master, George Soros, things
become a little clearer.
On Soros & Gold
There is a naturally occurring and constant collaboration about shared interests occurring amongst the heads of governments,
corporations, investment managers and all of the bottom feeders that survive off their scraps.
What is so interesting about Soros is that he is so obvious in his intentions and persistent in their pursuit. Given the
consequences of his actions, it is also clear hes a believer in moral relativism and that the ends justify the means.
That he turns a nice buck in his crusade for what certainly rhymes with a one-world government is a Soros hallmark.
It allows me the money needed to fund my philanthropies he might answer to the charges he is profiting from blood in the
streets he was instrumental in spilling.
Going forward when something big is happening geopolitically, I am going to start my analysis by checking under rocks for
signs of Soros.
At the beginning of this article we noted that Soros has gone big into American Barrick (ABX), a leading gold producer. As of
the end of March it was his single largest holding at 7.36% of his overall portfolio.
As telling, he has dumped a lot of his more conventional stocks in recent months.

Given the mans inside track and active manipulations you might want to take the hint and pick up some physical gold as
an insurance policy against a systematic shock.
If you already own gold, I probably wouldnt chase it here as it has had a good run of late. Ditto silver which is up 46% year to
date. But if you dont own some, adding precious metals to your portfolio as a long-term holding, even at todays prices,
makes sense.
As always with gold shares, it is important to remember a few things:
In most cases, these are speculations. Thats because their financial metrics often dont line up with anything looking like
a good value. What you are really betting on is a revaluation of the ounces of gold or silver a company is sitting on. Thus, if a
company is sitting on one million ounces of gold and gold goes up by $100, the company just got a lot more valuable.
Never fall in love with a gold stock. Set a rational return goal and once hit, at least scrape your original investment off the
table. That way you are playing with the casinos money.
Also per my article last week, keep in mind that should gold stocks buck the trend in a future global equities correction, the
money managers who own big positions in gold stocks will almost certainly dump their holdings in order to dress up the rest of
their portfolios. As the trading volume in precious metals share is relatively thin, you want to beat them out the door.
Embrace the volatility. The low trading volume of most of these stocks is a key reason they have such explosive upside.
Any significant uptick in investor interest can send a stock soaring.
Here Come the Clowns
Nothing comes close to the Get Out of Jail card handed by the clowns at the FBI to Hillary over her private email servers. This
despite pretty much no one disputes she broke any number of federal laws of the sort which would have landed a lesser
clown in jail.
To quote FBI Director James Comey;
"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information,
our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
There is nuance in that statement. For starters, that there is evidence of violations. But also the stark political reality that no
reasonable prosecutor would enforce the laws, considering who the perp is: the standard bearer for the Democrats going
into this election.
Besides, going after Clinton means crossing swords with Soros and no reasonable prosecutor would want to do that.

Switzerland Follows Iceland In Declaring War Against The Banksters & Switzerland
Withdraws Longstanding Application To Join EU
July 6 2016 | From: WakingTimes / RT
If you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let
bankers continue to create money and control credit. - Josiah Stamp
Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world
seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit.
Their effective revolt against the banking class, who drove the tiny nation into economic crisis in 2008, is the
brightest example yet that the world does not have to be indebted in perpetuity to an austere and criminal wealthy elite. In
2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry.
Inspired by Icelands progress, activists in Switzerland are now making an important stand against the banking cartels and
have successfully petitioned to bring an initiative to public referendum that would attack the private banks where it matters
most: their power to lend money they dont actually have, and to create money out of thin air.
"Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money.
The Swiss federal government confirmed that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000 people signed a
petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system.
The campaign led by the Swiss Sovereign Money movement and known as the Vollgeld initiative is designed to
limit financial speculation by requiring private banks to hold 100pc reserves against their deposits.
- The Telegraph
Switzerland is in a key position to play a revolutionary role in changing how global banking functions. In addition to being the
worlds safest harbor for storing wealth, it is also home to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a shadowy private
company owned by many of the worlds central banks, and acting as a lender to the central banks.
The BIS is the very heart of global reserve banking, the policy that enables banks to lend money that does not actually exist
in their bank deposits, but is instead literally created electronically from nothing whenever a bank extends a line of credit.
Reserve banking is the policy that guarantees insurmountable debt as the outcome of all financial transactions.
The Sovereign Money initiative in Switzerland aims to curb financial speculation, which is the intended and inevitable result
of reserve banking, the tool that makes financial adventurism possible by supplying the banks with endless quantities of fiat
money.
Limiting a banks ability to produce money from nothing would be a direct blow to the roots of the banking cartel, and would
cripple their ability to manipulate the world economy. Heres how it works, in rather simplified terms:
"if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the
imaginary stuff we are trained to think of as important money in whatever quantities we liked.
This is how it works: when they print quite a lot of this stuff there is a boom. When they print too much of it, there is
inflation (actually, the printing of money is inflation). When they stop printing it or simply hold on to it, there is a
depression.
- Source
In Switzerland, 90% of all money in circulation is electronic, and for this, The National Bank of Switzerland has become the
direct target of the Sovereign Money Campaign.
Swiss law has in the past required required banks to back all currency creation with collateral assets like physical silver or
gold, however in recent decades the climate has changed, and, due to the emergence of electronic payment
transactions, banks have regained the opportunity to create their own money.
The grass roots campaign said in a public statement regarding the intentions of the referendum, banks wont be able to
create money for themselves any more, theyll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks.
Related: Former Presidents Warn About the Invisible Government Running the United States
This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or
not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated by Sam Gerrans:
" it does say that the central bank should be given sole right to create money. This would essentially leave the
creation of money in the same hands as those who control the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England rather than
allow them to farm out the process. But at least it shows that people are beginning to wake up to where the true
power lies.
In the unlikely event that this grass-roots movement in Switzerland should get its way and its proposed legislation
be enacted, and then begin to morph into something which really does threaten the banking elite, we must not be
surprised if Switzerland is shortly discovered to be harboring weapons of mass destruction, or to have
masterminded 9/11, or to be financing Islamic State.
Part of the cultural conditioning of our time is an ingrained, pre-assumed dependency on sacred cow institutions like
banking. Just like it is impossible for most Americans to envision a world without Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult
for most people to imagine a world without predatory global banking.
Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world.
This is not the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their
collective wealth, so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater
awareness to the truth about central banking.
Switzerland Withdraws Longstanding Application To Join EU

The upper house of the Swiss parliament on has voted to invalidate its 1992 application to join the
European Union, backing an earlier decision by the lower house.
The vote came just a week before Britain decided to leave the EU in a referendum.
Related: Euro-court outlaws criticism of EU

Twenty-seven members of the upper house, the Council of States, voted to cancel Switzerlands longstanding EU
application, versus just 13 senators against. Two abstained.
In the aftermath of the vote, Switzerland will give formal notice to the EU to consider its application withdrawn, the countrys
foreign minister, Didier Burkhalter, was quoted as saying by Neue Zrcher Zeitung.
The original motion was introduced by the conservative Swiss Peoples Party MP, Lukas Reimann. It had already received
overwhelming support from legislators in the lower house of parliament in March, with 126 National Council deputies voting
in favor, and 46 against.
Thomas Minder, counsellor for the state of Schaffhausen and an active promoter of the concept of Swissness, said he was
eager to close the topic fast and painlesslyas only a few lunatics may want to join the EU now, he told the
newspaper.
Hannes Germann, also representing Schaffhausen, highlighted the symbolic importance of the vote, comparing it to
Icelands decision to drop its membership bid in 2015.
"Iceland had the courage and withdrew the application for membership, so no volcano erupted,he said, jokingly.
Switzerlands longstanding application to join the EU has not had a significant impact on the countrys politics for more than
20 years, as its accession negotiations have been suspended since 1992 in the wake of a referendum to join the European
Economic Area, when the Swiss voted down the idea of closer ties with the EU.
Some politicians even argued that the vote was an unnecessary formal procedure that didnt make much sense as
Switzerland is no longer regarded by the EU as an official candidate to join the bloc.
Related: Brexit, austerity & refugee crisis knock Britain out of global soft power ranking lead
Filippo Lombardi, from the Christian Democratic Peoples Party, said that it was not very clever to discuss it once
again, calling the debate about Switzerlands accession at this stage a bit ridiculous, Neue Zrcher Zeitung
reported.
Switzerland, never a member of EU, shares free trade with the union and free movement of people as part of the Schengen
zone.
The timing of Switzerlands reassurance of its sovereignty and independence from the EU institutions, if accidental, may
come in handy for campaigners in the UK advocating a British exit from the EU. Polls show the UKs referendum on EU
membership, to be held in a week on June 23, as being extremely close, with Leave slightly in the lead.

Can Brexiters Overcome False Flag Murder & Rothschild UK Collapse

Fearmongering? + Soros, Rothschild Warn Of Brexit Doom; Osborne Threatens With
"Suspending" Market
June 24 2016 | From: Geopolitics / ZeroHedge
We believe that the UK Brexit is just a small yet very important step towards freedom from the
SuperState European Union that is managed by non-elected Khazarian Nazionists.
If successful, the people still have to deal with the bogus Saxe-Coburg- Gotha UK monarchy.

Nevertheless, the big guns of the Khazarian Mafia are in full force in making statements aimed at sowing fear into the public
who will suffer from an immediate and dramatic impact on financial markets, investment, prices and jobs, once the Brexit
campaign succeeds.
These doom and gloom scenario is peddled on top of the recent false flag murder of a drugged man who, according to
mainstream press, even shouted Britain First in reference to the most radical group among the Brexit campaigners.

Truth be told, most citizens of the corporate monarchy of the United Kingdom dont have enough information about the true
purpose of the European Union. This topic is summarily dismissed in the mainstream media as being just another
conspiracy theory.
Thats why a mere statement of economic consequences from a George Soros is enough to tremble the hell out of them.
According to him;
As opinion polls on the referendum result fluctuate, I want to offer a clear set of facts, based on my six decades of
experience in financial markets, to help voters understand the very real consequences of a vote to leave the EU.
The Bank of England, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the IMF have assessed the long-term economic
consequences of Brexit. They suggest an income loss of 3,000 to 5,000 annually per household once the
British economy settles down to its new steady-state five years or so after Brexit. But there are some more
immediate financial consequences that have hardly been mentioned in the referendum debate.
To start off, sterling is almost certain to fall steeply and quickly if there is a vote to leave even more so after
yesterdays rebound as markets reacted to the shift in opinion polls towards remain.
- TheGuardian
Remember, this is just a poll which they control and not the actual voting sentiments. But they are now conditioning the mind
of a failure for the Brexit.
Now, if that is true, why would the likes of Soros and his master issue statements urging the people against Brexit if indeed
the Leave campaign is losing?
I would expect this devaluation to be bigger and more disruptive than the 15% devaluation that occurred
in September 1992, when I was fortunate enough to make a substantial profit for my hedge fund investors, at the
expense of the Bank of England and the British government.
It is reasonable to assume, given the expectations implied by the market pricing at present, that after a Brexit vote
the pound would fall by at least 15% and possibly more than 20%, from its present level of $1.46 to below $1.15
(which would be between 25% and 30% below its pre-referendum trading range of $1.50 to $1.60).
If sterling fell to this level, then ironically one pound would be worth about one euro a method of joining the euro
that nobody in Britain would want.
Brexiters seem to recognise that a sharp devaluation would be almost inevitable after Brexit, but argue that this
would be healthy, despite the big losses of purchasing power for British households. In 1992 the devaluation
actually proved very helpful to the British economy, and subsequently I was even praised for my role in helping to
bring it about.
But I dont think the 1992 experience would be repeated. That devaluation was healthy because the government
was relieved of its obligation to defend an overvalued pound with damagingly high interest rates after the
breakdown of the exchange rate mechanism. This time, a large devaluation would be much less benign than in
1992, for at least three reasons.
Today, there are speculative forces in the markets much bigger and more powerful. And they will be eager to
exploit any miscalculations by the British government or British voters. A vote for Brexit would make some people
very rich but most voters considerably poorer.
- TheGuardian
The logic being that he is the expert in currency manipulation and people should listen to him. Against that rationale is the
Iceland experience when they severed their monetary policies away from the vulture bankers.
Once the initial disruptions are contained, the more independent economy will strengthen itself as the fundamentals are
stabilized.
And he is not part of the speculative forces he is talking about, that will be eager to exploit any miscalculations by the
British government or British voters.
Yes, he considers a vote for Brexit as a miscalculation, as if he is really good with math when even his rise to prominence in
world finance is only by the virtue of his having privileged access to information within a system that has been rigged also by
his cohorts.
George Soros talks with Jim Flaherty, centre, and Peter Munk, right. Soros spoke to a crowd of Canada's business elite on Monday at the Canadian
International Council gala.
The truth of the matter is, these Khazarian Mafiosi are afraid that the Brexit campaign might just win because their Brexit
arguments are more level headed, and for the open minded thats a positive way to move forward.
While the Remain campaign are dwelling mostly on pessimism as if the world would end with Brexit.
This Jacob Rothschild opinion piece came much earlier

Success stories in any field are built on one great idea. This was certainly the case with my forebear Mayer
Amschel Rothschild, who at the end of the 18th century sent his five sons to the five financial capitals of Europe to
set up the first truly international banking system, a common market.
Operating from London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and Frankfurt, the brothers, working together to exchange
information and ideas, built an extraordinary business that operated across boundaries and cultures.
A hundred and fifty years later, the foundation of the EEC operated on similar principles, namely that we are
stronger
- TheTimes
With reference to the articles title, when does evidence come before the action, i.e. Brexit?
The key message right there is the statement We shouldnt accept a diminished role on the world stage, which is not
addressed at the great people of great Britain but could only mean that the Rothschild dynasty is not ready yet to have a
diminished role on their lives.
Heres the kicker: Great Britain was already great before the European Union came into being. Most of all, the EU is
collapsing whether Bexit succeeds or not. The only difference is, with Remain, Britons will be at the front seat when it
happens.
This is the reason why the Rothschild camp is campaigning for Remain, for the UK taxpayers to absorb a major portion of
the impact of the impending EU economic collapse.
To put it simply, the Rothschild dynasty is far more concerned on the accelerated collapse of their brainchild European
Union through the Brexit, than being genuinely troubled over the fate of the UK.
Bear in mind, the collapse of these megacorporations masquerading as government entities doesnt necessarily mean the
collapse of your ability to survive. In fact, your life would be a lot better without these bankers and their stooges in your
midst.
So, while the Remain campaigners are focusing on fear and pessimism, the Leave campaign is straightforward in reminding
that Britain will become great again, alone.
It would become even greater once the true blooded Britons kicked out their bogus and useless monarchy, together with the
Rothschild banking system, after the Brexit.
Of course, thats a tall order, but as we say here in Asia,A journey of a thousand miles, begins only with a single step.
That single step, my British friends, is the Brexit.

The Big Guns Are Out: Soros, Rothschild Warn Of Brexit Doom; Osborne Threatens
With "Suspending" Market
Recently, we recounted the story of "Black Wednesday" when on September 16, 1992, the UK was
forced out of the EUs exchange-rate mechanism, or ERM, when the BOE tapped out and allowed
the British pound to float freely, leading to 15% losses in the sterling. As we noted, this was
George Soros' infamous trade which "broke the Bank of England" and made the Hungarian richer
by over $1.5 bilion.
24 years later Soros is back, and this time he is warning against the kind of devaluation that made him a billionaire
and which he believes will be unleashed by Brexit, when in a Guardian Op-Ed he wrote that U.K. voters are grossly
underestimating the true costs of a vote to leave the EU, saying that there would be an "immediate and dramatic
impact on financial markets, investment, prices and jobs."
He predicts that the pound would decline "precipitously", seeing a gargantuan drop of at least 15% and possibly >20% to
below $1.15. Considering it has now become trendy for analysts to come up with ever "doomier" forecasts of just how low
cable would plunge in case of Brexit, we are surprised Soros stopped there.
Here Soros makes the distinction how the collapse in cable would be different from the one that made him richer by saying
that this devaluation wouldnt be healthy like the one in 1992 because BOE wouldnt cut rates, U.K. has large current
account deficit and devaluation unlikely to improve manufacturing exports this time. Just don't tell that to the BOJ, which
would gladly leave the EU - twice if it had to - if it meant a 20% devaluation.
Brexit would make some people very rich - but most voters considerably poorer; there are speculative forces in the,
markets much bigger and more powerful" than the speculators that profited from the 1967 devaluation at Britains
expense. "A vote to leave could see the week end with a Black Friday, and serious consequences for ordinary people."
Here is the gist of Soros' scaremongering, from the Guardian op-ed titled "The Brexit crash will make all of you poorer
be warned":
David Cameron, along with the Treasury, the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund and others have
been attacked by the leave campaign for exaggerating the economic risks of Brexit.
This criticism has been widely accepted by the British media and many financial analysts. As a result, British voters
are now grossly underestimating the true costs of leaving.
As opinion polls on the referendum result fluctuate, I want to offer a clear set of facts, based on my six decades of
experience in financial markets, to help voters understand the very real consequences of a vote to leave the EU."
Of course, Soros' set of facts may be clouded by his far greater equity stake in equity interests around Europe, and the
globe, which would be drastially impacted by not only a Brexit, but by a European Union which is suddenly on the rocks.
From that point on, Soros' entire analysis is on the "worst case" scenario centered around a collapsing pound, something
which most ironically every other central bank around the globe is so desperate to achieve:
... Sterling is almost certain to fall steeply and quickly if there is a vote to leave even more so after yesterdays
rebound as markets reacted to the shift in opinion polls towards remain.
I would expect this devaluation to be bigger and more disruptive than the 15% devaluation that occurred in
September 1992, when I was fortunate enough to make a substantial profit for my hedge fund investors, at
the expense of the Bank of England and the British government."
At least he is honest.
It is notable that Soros' warning comes just days after that of Jacob Rothschild himself who said in another Op-Ed, this time
for The Times, that leaving the EU could lead to a "damaging and disorderly situation" in the UK as he urged Britons to vote
'remain'.
Just like Soros, Lord Rothschild, suddenly exhibiting a rare strain of humanitarian concern, said readers should not "risk the
wellbeing of our country" and European countries are "better off together".
He said that "at present we enjoy being a permanent member of the UN security council and we are essential to the G8 and
Commonwealth. But diplomacy, defence, the environment and our values of being a liberal democracy will all be at
risk" adding that "I can see no good reason why we should accept our playing a diminished role on the world
stage," especially if his own personal fortune would be jeopardized.
...
Finally, completing the doom loop, was none other than Chancellor George Osborne who, according to the Telegraph,
"refused to rule out suspending trading on the London stock market if Britons vote to leave the European Union on
Friday morning...
The threat from the Chancellor, made in an LBC radio interview on Monday evening, after the market had closed
could force shares down in London as early as Tuesday morning."
Iain Dale, the presenter, asked Mr Osborne: If the financial markets do plummet on Friday would you have to
consider suspending trading on the FTSE?
The Chancellor responded: Well look, the Bank of England and the Treasury Governor Carney and myself we
have of course discussed contingency plans.
But the sensible thing is to keep those secret and make sure you are well prepared for whatever happens
but if you set them all out in advance then you rather undermine the power of those plans.
Pushed again on the contingency plans, Mr Osborne said: I have a responsibility to the people listening to this
programme to do all I can to protect them. But I have to tell you that you cannot in the end protect people
from the economic shock that leaving the EU would bring about.
And in case the threat of shuttered markets was not enough, Osborne also hinted at imminent mass layoffs, suggesting that
redundancy notices could be issued hours after Britons vote to leave the EU at the vote.
Mr Osborne pointed to warnings from the London Stock Exchange there would be 100,000 job losses in the City
after a Brexit.
Mr Osborne was challenged about whether redundancies warned by the bank JP Morgan could come as early as
Friday the day after the referendum. Mr Osborne replied: I think that will start to happen very quickly,
sadly.
Amid all this gloom, Osborne presented the "only" alternative that would not lead to the imminent economic collapse he so
forcefully imagines:
He added that if the UK voted to remain there would be a quick snap back for the British economy, he said that
decisions will be taken and investment will come in.
Asked if these redundancy notices would be issued on Friday morning if Britons vote to leave, Mr Osborne said:
That will start to happen very quickly sadly.
Now if only the people will do what these noble public servants tell to do in their own best interest...
Finally, Osborne also played down claims he could be forced to leave the Treasury after the referendum amid anger form
Tory backbenchers over the way he has campaigned, saying: Its really not about my job.
Oh but is George, just like it is in Soros and Rothschild's own self interest for the people to vote "Remain." To suggest
otherwise is naive, but it may also be irrelevant.
With very little time until the vote, the scaremongering tactic, not to mention the murder of an innocent woman, may have
already done its job judging by the reveral in public opinion.
In any case, one can only hope that unlike the case of the failed Greek referendum where the people voted one way only to
get the opposite, no matter how the Brits vote, it will truly represent the democratic will of the majority and that particular
outcome is what they get.
Mainstream Media Finally Admits 72 Mass Banker Suicides Were Likely A Vast
Criminal Conspiracy
June 22 2016 | From: HumansAreFree
There is no question that this is a story that just won't die, even if 72 bankers in its path had to die
before the story could get to this point. Hopefully no more will die before the wizard behind the
curtain is finally revealed and brought to justice for his or her crimes however that seems rather
distant at the moment.
Jay Syrmopoulos is the original author of this particular article at Humans are Free, however, since Ive been
following this story since 2014 as well, I have supplemented his original article with previous findings of mine and
the end result almost tripled the size of the article. At the bottom of this post, youll see several sections containing
relevant and supporting links, the first section having seven stories I did on the mysterious banker suicides.
Naturally throughout all of 2014 and 2015, anyone trying to make sense of how 72 high profile banking professionals all
died in mysterious suicides, was labeled a conspiracy theorist, because after all theres nothing suspicious
about that at all right?
It's nice to see that what some were once ignorant enough to say looked like wild speculation, is now beginning to
resemble a vast criminal conspiracy connected to the Libor, interest-rigging scandal as you can read in Jays
article below.
First though, in the following video, Dahboo77 discusses an article by Dave Hodges of the Common Sense Show about the
banker death phenomena. In addition to the banker deaths, Dahboo77 brings up the unexpected and sudden deaths of men
like Andrew Breitbart, Tom Clancy, and Andrew Hastings (whos covered more in detail below).
In the video you just saw, Dahboo77 claims all of those men went to their graves with stories untold. Was that by design?
The next video titled, "Why Andrew Breitbart, Michael Hastings and Tom Clancy were Murdered" certainly makes the case
that they were killed because they knew too much.
Im going to go out on a limb and say that anyone reading an article about 72 high level bankers all dead from mysterious
suicides is open to the idea that Dahboo77 mentions in the first video when he talks about how this is all tied together, and
how, its so obvious.
There probably was a time when hearing about the global elites (also known as the Illuminati) master plan to enslave every
man women and child on earth might have sounded like lunacy to you, but no more loony than 72 dead bankers, right? The
skeptics can read some of my links at the bottom about HOW some of the dead bankers died.
That will erase any doubt. Dahboo77 also talks about moving toward the ultimate goal: One World Government with One
World Currency, and he even mentions underground bunkers.
For those ready to open their eyes, Dahboo77 is correct Every ounce of all of this ties together. There are many pieces
we don't know, however the pieces that we have been able to put together are very frightening.
Much of it is detailed in the links that follow my video below (to the extent possible). My video explains what to expect both in
the links that follow and the remainder of this crazy post.
To anyone out there rolling their eyes:
1. The families of the 72 dead arent rolling their eyes This is VERY real for them
2. John F. Kennedy himself said he was aware of a plan to enslave every man, woman, and child, but before
leaving office he planned to expose that plan. He was referring to the plan of the Illuminati. You see how well that
worked out for him right?
Understand something: The bogeymen ARE real, they DO have a plan for humanity, and it's NOT good. There is so much
information available to anyone willing to break free from the very same corporate media the bogeymen control, nut you
have to unplug from the Matrix. I explain below.
What once looked like wild speculation is now beginning to resemble a vast criminal conspiracy connected to the Libor,
interest-rigging scandal.
Over forty international bankers allegedly killed themselves over a two-year period in the wake of a major international
scandal that implicated financial firms across the globe.

However, three of these seemingly unrelated suicides seem to share common threads related to their connections to
Deutsche Bank.
These three banker suicides, in New York, London, and Siena, Italy, took place within 17 months of each other in 2013/14 in
what investigators labeled as a series of unrelated suicides.
In each case, the victim had a connection to a burgeoning global banking scandal, leaving more
questions than answers as to the circumstances surrounding their deaths, according to the New York
Post.
But all three men worked for, or did business with, Deutsche Bank.
Financial regulators in both Europe and the U.S. in 2013 began a probe that would ultimately become known as the
Libor scandal, in which London bankers conspired to rig the London Interbank Offered Rate, which determines the
interest banks charged on mortgages, personal and auto loans.
The scandal rocked the financial world and cost a consortium of international banks, including Deutsche Bank, about $20
billion in fines.
David Rossi, a 51-year-old communications director at the worlds oldest bank, Italian Monte dei Paschi di Siena, which was
on the brink of collapse due to heavy losses in the derivatives market in the 2008 financial crisis, fell to his death on March
6, 2013.
At the time of his death, Monte Paschi was being investigated for its handling of billions in these risky derivative bets
involving Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch.
According to a report in the NY Post:
A devastating security video shows Rossi landing on the pavement on his back, facing the building - an odd
position more likely to occur when a body is pushed from a window.
The footage shows the three-story fall didnt kill Rossi instantly. For almost 20 minutes, the banker lay on the
dimly lit cobblestones, occasionally moving an arm and leg.
As he lay dying, two murky figures appear. Two men appear and one walks over to gaze at the banker. He
offers no aid or comfort and doesnt call for help before turning around and calmly walking out of the
alley.
About an hour later, a co-worker discovered Rossis body. The arms were bruised and he sustained a head wound that,
according to the local medical examiners report, suggested there might have been a struggle prior to his fall.
Ultimately Italian authorities ruled Rossis death a suicide. Rossis widow, Antonella Tognazzi, protested vigorously
at the suggestion her husbands death was a suicide, telling the Italian press that her husband knew too much.
Tognazzi pointed to the alleged suicide note from Rossi as a prime example of the suspicious nature of his death.
In the note, Rossi refers to Antonella Tognazzi as Toni, but according to Tognazzi, that was not something he ever
called her.
In October 2014, two Monte Paschi executives were convicted of obstructing regulators and misleading investigators by
Italian authorities over the bailed-out Italian banks finances in the wake of the acquisition of Banca Antonveneta which
was heavily financed by Deutsche Bank.
In January of this year, Italian authorities civilly implicated three Deutsche Bank executives, including Michele Faissola, the
wealth management director of the German bank - charging them with colluding with Monte Paschi in falsifying accounts,
manipulating the market and obstructing justice.
Another of the mysterious deaths being revisited is that of William Broeksmit, 58, a Deutsche Bank exec was found
hanging from a dog leash tied to a door at his London home in January 2014.
Broeksmit was found among a mess of financial papers, with a number of notes to friends and family nearby. A Deutsche
Bank colleague, Michele Faissola, was called and arrived minutes later and began suspiciously going through the financial
documents and reading the suicide notes.
Yes, he killed himself, stepson Val Broeksmit told the NY Post.
But theres a question: could it be suicide by extortion, could it be suicide by pressure or saying if you dont do
this, were going to do this? Theres a couple suspicions I have.
Broeksmits stepson still wonders what his fathers colleague was searching for amongst the mess of financial documents.
Adding to the suspicious nature of his stepfathers death, Val provided the NY Post email messages revealing that prior to
his death, Broeksmit had just messaged friends about his excitement for an upcoming ski vacation scheduled for one week
later.
Although a clinical psychologist revealed Broeksmit had been treated due to being very anxious about authorities
investigating areas of the bank at which he worked, his depression over the Libor scandal had subsided, as his doctor gave
him a clean bill of health only a month before his death.
According to the report by the NY Post:
A month before his death, William Broeksmit wrote - in what his son says shows his anger - to fellow
executives, asking why he should take the lead on the sticky matter of the upcoming Federal Reserve-
mandated stress test for the bank.
He also questioned the 'generous' loan-loss numbers being used by the bank, afraid that federal regulators would
see the bank was losing more on loans than the books showed. Large losses could lead the feds to slap the bank
with restrictions.
Who is recommending that I do this? I am supposed to be an independent director and this puts me further into a
role aligned with management, he wrote.
New York City attorney, Calogero Charles Gambino, 41, was a married father of two, and Deutsche Banks in-house
lawyer for 11 years at the banks downtown headquarters. Gambino primarily worked on defending the Deutsch Bank
against Libor charges and other regulatory probes.
In October 2014, Gambinos was found hanging from an upstairs balcony of his Brooklyn home, with a rope that
was snaked through the banister and tied off on the newel post on the first floor. There was no note found and the
family has steadfastly refused to comment on his death.
In his work as corporate counsel for Deutsche, Gambino had dealings with many of the banks European executives -
including Michele Faissola and William Broeksmit and had intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the banks
operations. Gambinos death was ruled a suicide.
In the cases of Gambino, Rossi and Broeksmit, authorities seemingly never looked for, nor discovered, the apparent
connections that reveal a deadly international criminal conspiracy at work.
However, authorities in Siena, Italy have recently exhumed the body of banker David Rossi, 51, and reopened their
investigation into his death. They are expected to release their findings at the end of the month.
The common thread in each of these deaths is that all of the dead bankers had intimate knowledge of the international Libor
scandal as it related to Deutsche Bank.
It seems apparent that these men were killed to ensure their silence, thus allowing those responsible for the
interest rigging scandal within Deutsche to avoid responsibility.

An investment banker jumped to his death from a luxury apartment building in Manhattan. Authorities confirmed
Thomas J. Hughes was 29-years-old.
A man leaping from a luxury lower Manhattan apartment building met a grisly end Thursday when he was
decapitated after crashing into a railing, horrified witnesses said.
The unidentified man jumped from a West St. building at about 11 a.m., officials said. His body exploded apart
after it hit the railing bordering Battery Place and the underpass that leads to FDR Drive - leaving stunned
onlookers covered in blood.
There were body parts all over the floor, said Hans Peler, 48, manager of the GGMC parking garage, which
stands just a few feet from the gory scene. Blood was all over (my employees) shirt. I sent him straight home. He
was very upset, said Peler. Its terrible, man.

Body parts may have also hit or bounced off a Honda CRV that stopped short on the roadway and remained at the scene,
witnesses said. I dont know where he came from! I dont know where he came from! a passenger of the SUV was heard
screaming.
Witness Mario Mroczkowski, 37, said the impact was so bad, the mans body was left in pieces. I got close, but when I
looked, all I saw were body parts guts everywhere, Mroczkowski said. He hit the railing and got his head cut off.
Taxi driver Tony Santos, 45, was in his SUV in front of the Ritz-Carlton across the street when he was startled by the sound
of the bodys impact. I heard like a boom, Santos said.
Hours after the apparent suicide, the man remained unidentified. Body parts were found under the CRV, witnesses said.
Blood was found pooled under the car and spattered on both sides of the railing, witnesses said. Hes a mess, a police
source said. His face is barely decipherable.
Witnesses believe the man jumped from the 18th floor of 1 West St., home of Ocean Luxury Residences where one-
bedroom apartments go for up to $4,000 a month. At least one witness said he jumped from the roof of the 31-story
building.
Styled after a 14th-century palace, 1 West St. has a Venetian-look lobby, fitness center and outdoor decks overlooking New
York Harbor. Cops were investigating the mans death Thursday afternoon.

At this point we have lost count of how many bankers have taken their own lives in the past year, despite stocks rising to all
time highs and an artificial wealth effecting environment which if nobody else, benefits the banker class. We dread to think
what happens to New Yorks pavements once the central planners finally lose control.

Spark Boss Accuses Google Of 'Despicable Behaviour'

June 19 2016 | From: NationalBusinessReview
Sorry, don't want to foist a story-based-on a tweet on NBR readers but I couldn't help but highlight
Spark boss Simon Moutter's post on Twitter last night.
The chief executive retweeted an NBR story on Google NZ's latest financial filing, adding his own comment:
"Despicable behaviour posting $10m revenue despite generating $67m annual ad revenue in NZ to offshore
entity."
The $67 million is the estimate of Google's ad revenue booked in New Zealand in the Fairfax-NZME merger application
and the pair's figures seem in line with estimates by the IAB and others.
However, social media consultant Louis van Wyk hit back with a couple of good jabs, tweeting to NBR:
"So will Moutter put his money where his mouth is? Will Spark avoid Google ads in favour of supporting local
media?"
And:
"Spark spends a lot on Facebook too. How much tax did Facebook pay in NZ?" [Answer: very little].
Mr van Wyk makes a good point. NBR has asked the Spark boss if he thinks his company should stop promoting itself
through Google and Facebook ads, thereby helping to line the pockets of these profit-shifters.
Don't hold your breath for a boycott. Google and Facebook command a huge share of New Zealander's online attention.
Spark would be cutting off its nose to spite its face.
Mr Moutter has previously called on the government to move faster on revenue and profit-shifting by multinationals (and,
elsewhere noted that Google and other tech companies are now competitors to Spark with their "over-the-top" voice and
video-conferencing services).
Australia and the UK have introduced so-called "Google tax" measures against such behaviour. The Spark boss says doing
the same here would level the playing field. Revenue Minister Michael Woodhouse says a process is in train in alignment
with an OECD initiative that could see tighter rules from July 2017.
With the separate investigation into offshore trusts wrapping up early, Mr Woodhouse might want to turn his attention to Mr
Moutter's favourite topic (and remember, the Spark boss was part of the lobby that successfully pushed for the so-called
"Netflix tax" or the new provision for offshore providers of online services to charge GST).
An overwhelming majority of NBR readers agree with Mr Moutter. However, NBR economics editor Rob Hosking is wary of
policy being driven by "moral panic".
A Google spokeperson told NBR earlier this month:
"Google complies with the law in every country where we operate. We believe international forums like the OECD
are the right places to decide tax rules for multinational businesses because everyone would benefit from a simpler
and more transparent system.
Googles average global corporate tax rate in recent years is around 19%, and we incurred taxes of more than
US$3.3 billion in 2015."
The Destructive Effects Of Negative Interest Rates

June 14 2016 | From: KiwiWatch
One of the best things that ever happened to me was my mother taught me to save from a very
young age. Indeed when I first started primary school we had school banking where every pupil
had a small Post Office bank book and every week someone from the Post Office appeared to do
school banking.
We were encouraged to save our threepences (3 cents), sixpences (6 cents) and shillings (10 cents) from what ever
jobs we had done for mum & dad over the past week. House jobs were normal play, no house keepers where we
lived.
In those days my parents had lived through two world wars and the great depression of the 1930s. They knew hardship and
struggle. Our family was working class but in business albeit one that required hard labour.
They knew what thriftiness was all about, just to get by to raise their three children as best they could and school banking
was part of that era of saving for a rainy day. They had lived through a period where the rainy day lasted years and years
and poverty was reality for a huge number of people.
I can still recall the pleasure that I got once I was old enough to know what was going on from seeing the amount in my
deposit book build up. Even more fun was it when at the end of the year someone else added some more shillings on top of
my savings, my introduction to interest.
But this is no longer the way it is, central bankers have embarked on a grand manipulation, a manipulation that
destroys the centuries old paradigm that those that save and accumulate savings are rewarded with interest by
depositing the savings with institutions that are able to lend it to someone else who needs additional capital to
expand a business or purchase a property and who will pay interest for the privilege of using funds they dont
have.
The paying of or charging of interest becomes a silent arbitor of risk: when interest is added to an investment decision by a
borrower it has a governing effect on investment decision making.
But now in some countries banks are paying people to borrow whilst not rewarding the savers upon whose funds the
advances are made. This is an absurdity.
Central bankers have manufactured a distortion and it simply doesnt make sense. I still cant get my head around it, even
worse try to explain it to others.
Sure, Im not an economist but I live in the real world and logically know that this financial experimentation will deliver
unintended consequences and like all experiments those consequences will only become apparent after the fact. I never
thought negative interest rates were even possible.
It is as though central bank activity is criminally working against everyones interests accept their own.
Such is the desperation of central bankers to avoid a recession or even another depression that they are simply doing
everything they can to rig market outcomes, simultaneously not allowing the markets to be the free regulator of risk. Indeed
so many comment that free markets no longer exist.
Financial derivatives appear to be the only instruments that can generate a positive return because you can bet against the
market. Now central bankers, cornered by their own stupidity will watch as fundamental rules of saving, investment and
return are destroyed.
We need to question why they would allow this to happen and who is going to profit from this. One thing I know is that they
will be safe if a major blow out occurs.
Perhaps you'd like to email the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and ask them to explain tis dubious scenario and
how it might impact New Zealand?
For you can be sure that if he was not on board with the privately owned Rothschild-driven central banking
system that he WOULD NOT be the Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
It makes saving for your retirement a questionable activity as the return on saved capital has been stolen by bankers from
those who have saved or invested and effectively disbursed to the bankers all around the world. They pay virtually nothing
now on deposits but they can embark on riskier lending activity that result in distortions and bubbles, particularly in asset
markets.
Bonds, a conventional financial asset that are an integral part of any diversified portfolio now yield negative returns
completely destroying the historical actuarial calculations that superannuation funds rely on to pay superannuitant pensions.
This too forces the funds to invest into riskier assets for return. Many super funds have calculated return in the 6-8%pa
range but because the funds can barely generate yield they are now massively underfunded. Central banker manipulation of
interest rates is responsible for this.
Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific capital sums negative interest rates:
Negative interest rates are a disaster. Its not working in Japan, its not working in Europe, its not going to work
here. Just because it doesnt work doesnt mean were not going to do it, because everything we do doesnt work
and we do it anyway.
It shows desperation, that youve had all these central bankers lowering interest rates and expecting it to revive the
economy. And then when they get down to zero, rather than admit that it didnt work, because clearly if you go to
zero and you still havent achieved your objective, maybe it doesnt work.
Instead of admitting that they were wrong, theyre now going negative.
It has allowed the distortion to impact global share markets and created a misallocation of capital such as acquisitions
(companies taking over a competitor) and companies purchasing their own shares to (falsely) show an increase in earnings
per share. In other words markets become distorted from reality bloated by cheap money that disguises underlying a
competitive reality.
While US acquisition activity is through the roof it rarely adds value often muddying the earnings quality of the acquirer. With
interest rates so low, companies are overpaying to grow. This poses problems for investors as it makes it more difficult to
value a company that is bolted together with acquisitions.

Low interest rates have also led companies to spend money to buy back shares, often using cheap debt. Revenue growth
has been anemic and the only way to grow earnings per share is by lowering the share count but those buybacks have
added future trouble.
Instead the balance sheet of buy-back corporates holds a whole lot more debt that may backfire if / when interest rates are
allowed to rise back to normal levels. It now appears that companies that have completed aggressive share buy backs
have actually under performed since 2011. Hard to explain.
Another unintended consequence is that is that it encourages banks to go out and make as many loans as they can forcing
money to be lent to risky borrowers, presumably to fight the global deflationary environment.
Its hard to see how this will end well. We are truly in uncharted territory. The bankers are well educated, but theyre doing
something thats never been done before. No one knows exactly whats going to happen when they try to unwind it, but it
stands to reason that it wont be pretty.

Satans Credit Card: What The Mark Of The Beast Taught Me About The Future Of
Money
June 11 2016 | From: Buzzfeed
Silicon Valley has sold us on a cashless, cardless, walletless, supposedly frictionless future - but as
I learned living in it for a month, were not quite there yet.
Its the dead of winter in Stockholm and Im sitting in a very small room inside the very inaptly named Calm Body
Modification clinic. A few feet away sits the syringe that will, soon enough, plunge into the fat between my thumb
and forefinger and deposit a glass-encased microchip roughly the size of an engorged grain of rice.
Related: Why Is There Suddenly Such A Huge Push For Mark Of The Beast Technology?
You freaking out a little? asks Calms proprietor, a heavily tattooed man named Chai, as he runs an alcohol-soaked cotton
swab across my hand. Its all right. Youre getting a microchip implanted inside your body. Itd be weird if you werent freaking
out a little bit. Of Course It Fucking Hurts!, his T-shirt admonishes in bold type.
My choice to get microchipped was not ceremonial. It was neither a transhumanist statement nor the fulfillment of a childhood
dream born of afternoons reading science fiction.
I was here in Stockholm, a city thats supposedly left cash behind, to see out the extreme conclusion of a monthlong
experiment to live without cash, physical credit cards, and, eventually, later in the month, state-backed currency altogether, in
a bid to see for myself what the future of money - as is currently being written by Silicon Valley - might look like.
Some of most powerful corporations in the world - Apple,
Facebook, and Google; the Goliaths, the big guys, the
companies that make the safest bets and rarely lose - are
pouring resources and muscle into the payments industry,
historically a complicated, low-margin business.
Meanwhile, companies like Uber and Airbnb have been forced

to become payments giants themselves, helping to facilitate
and process millions of transactions (and millions of dollars)
each day.
A recent report from the auditor KPMG revealed that global

investment in fintech - financial technology, that is - totaled
$19.1 billion in 2015, a 106% jump compared to 2014; venture
Chai and the writer at Calm Body Modification in Stockholm
capital investment alone nearly quintupled between 2012 and
last year.
In 2014, Americans spent more than $3.68 billion using tap-to-pay tech, according to eMarketer. In 2015, that number was
$8.71 billion, and in 2019, its projected to hit $210.45 billion. As Apple CEO Tim Cook told (warned?) a crowd in the U.K. last
November, Your kids will not know what money is.
To hear Silicon Valley tell it, the broken-in leather wallet is on life support. I wanted to pull the plug. Which is how, ultimately, I
found myself in this sterile Swedish backroom staring down a syringe the size of a pipe cleaner. I was here because I wanted
to see the future of money. But really, I just wanted to pay for some shit with a microchip in my hand.
The first thing youll notice if you ever decide to surrender your wallet is how damn many apps youll need in order to replace
it. Youll need a mobile credit card replacement - Apple Pay or Android Pay - for starters, but youll also need person-to-
person payment apps like Venmo, PayPal, and Square Cash.
Then dont forget the lesser-knowns: Dwolla, Tilt, Tab, LevelUp, SEQR, Popmoney, P2P Payments, and Flint. Then you might
as well embrace the cryptocurrency of the future, bitcoin, by downloading Circle, Breadwallet, Coinbase, Fold, Gliph, Xapo,
and Blockchain. Youll also want to cover your bases with individual retailer payment apps like Starbucks, Walmart, USPS
Mobile, Exxon Speedpass, and Shell Motorist, to name but a few.
Plus public and regular transit apps - Septa in Philadelphia, NJ

Transit in New Jersey, Zipcar, Uber, Lyft. And because you have
to eat and drink, Seamless, Drizly, Foodler, Saucey, Waitress,
Munchery, and Sprig. The future is fractured.
This isnt lost on Bryan Yeager, a senior analyst who covers

payments for eMarketer.
"This kind of piecemeal fragmentation is probably one of

the biggest inhibitors out there, he said.
Ill be honest: Its very confusing, not just to me, but to

most customers. And it really erodes the value
proposition that mobile payments are simpler.
On a frigid January afternoon in Midtown Manhattan, just hours

into my experiment, I found myself at 2 Bros., a red-tiled,
fluorescent-lit pizza shop that operates with an aversion to frills.
As I made my way past a row of stainless steel ovens, I watched

the patrons in front of me grab their glistening slices while
wordlessly forking over mangled bills, as has been our countrys
custom for a century and a half.
When my turn came to order, I croaked what was already my least-favorite phrase: Do you, um, take Apple Pay? The man
behind the counter blinked four times before (wisely) declaring me a lost cause and moving to the next person in line.
This kind of bewildered rejection was fairly common. A change may be coming for money, but not everyones on board yet,
and Yaegers entirely correct that the simple value proposition hasnt entirely come to pass.
Paying with the wave of a phone, I found, pushes you toward extremes; to submit to the will of one of the major mobile wallets
is to choose between big-box retailers and chain restaurants and small, niche luxury stores.
The only business in my Brooklyn neighborhood that took Apple Pay or Android Pay was a cafe where a large iced coffee
runs upwards of $5; globally, most of the businesses that have signed on as Apple Pay partners are large national chains like
Jamba Juice, Pep Boys, Best Buy, and Macys.
Partially for this reason, the primary way most Americans are currently experiencing the great fintech boom isnt through
Apple or Android Pay at all, but through proprietary payment apps from chains such as Target, Walmart, and Starbucks - as
of last October, an astonishing 1 in 5 of all Starbucks transactions in the U.S. were done through the companys mobile app.
It wouldnt be all that hard to live a fully functional - if possibly

boring - cash-free consumer life by tapping and swiping the
proprietary apps of our nations biggest stores.
If that doesnt feel revolutionary or particularly futuristic, its

because its not really meant to. But the future of mobile retail is
assuredly dystopian.
Just ask Andy ODell, who works for Clutch, a marketing

company that helps with consumer loyalty programs and deals
with these kinds of mobile purchasing apps.
"Apple Pay and the Starbucks payment app have

nothing to do with actual payments, he told me.
The power of payments and the future of these

programs is in the data they generate.
Imagine this future: Every day you go to Starbucks before work

because its right near your house.
You use the app, and to ensure your reliable patronage,

Starbucks coughs up a loyalty reward, giving you a free cup of
coffee every 15 visits. Great deal, you say! ODell disagrees.
According to him, Starbucks is just hurting its margins by giving

you something youd already be buying. The real trick, he
argued, is changing your behavior.
He offers a new scenario where this time, instead of a free

coffee every 15 visits, you get a free danish - which you try and
then realize it goes great with coffee.
Venmo screenshot So you start buying a danish once a week, then maybe twice a
week, until it starts to feel like it was your idea all along.
In that case, ODell said;

Starbucks has changed my behavior and captured more share of my wallet, and theyve also given me more of
what I want.
Thats terrifying, I told him.
But thats the brave new world, man, he shot back.
Moving payments from plastic swipes to digital taps is going to change how companies influence your behavior.
Thats what youre asking, right? Well, thats how were doing it.
In this sense, the payments rush is, in no small part, a data rush. Creating a wallet thats just a digital version of the one you
keep in your pocket is not the endgame.
But figuring out where you shop, when you shop, and exactly what products you have an affinity for, and then bundling all that
information in digestible chunks to inform the marketers of the world?
Being able to, as ODell puts it;
Drive you to the outcome they want you to have like a rat in a maze by understanding, down to your personality,
who you are?
Thats disruption worth investing in [ ?! ].
For all its complexity and bureaucracy and importance, money, at its core, is really just information. When FDR weaned the
United States off the gold standard in 1933, cash, no longer backed by physical gold, became an abstraction.
Today, that abstraction is pushed to new extremes: Not only does 92% of the money in the world exist as a series of ones
and zeroes, but now its being transferred from place to place by any number of digital intermediaries looking to take a cut.
That process is complicated, but the key issue is trust. Money, argues David Wolman in The End of Money, is not much more
than a belief in a shared purpose, or at least a shared hallucination.

This faith in the particular religion of cash has been at the center of standardized currencies since Kublai Khan, and the loss
of that faith has been associated with every major economic catastrophe in history. But trust - especially when it comes to
new forms of currency - takes time to build.
The first two weeks of my experiment, most people balked when I offered an alternative means of payment. Im a little
worried this might not go through in time, one server at a German beer hall told me when I asked if I could Venmo her for my
bill.
A waiter at a different establishment scoffed when I tried to pay him or the restaurant via PayPal, suggesting his manager
would think he was getting ripped off.
Yaeger sees this as standard for a nascent technology. I kind of equate now to where things were 10 to 12 years ago with e-
commerce, he told me. The concept of putting credit cards on a screen was new. Retailers and normal people were
concerned about that. So innovative companies like PayPal and Amazon built that trust up over a decade while others slowly
moved in.
There are, of course, legitimate reasons not to trust these new forms of payment. Anyone whos been mugged or lost a wallet
knows cash is far from perfect, but this constellation of new digital payment products introduces a whole new category and
scale of ways to get robbed, hacked, scammed, and screwed. Venmo - the social payment service thats now transferring
over $1 billion per month - may, in some ways, be the truest glimpse at a mobile payment future, but its not exactly entirely
secure.
Smartphones can be as easily lost and stolen as wallets, but theyre also eminently breakable, orders of magnitude more
expensive, and obsolete after two or three years. And the payment-apps landscape is still such that living cashlessly in 2016
means entering your credit card information or routing number into dozens of stand-alone apps, some of which look as if
theyve been built overnight by a high school computer science class.
All this risk and all this friction, in the service ofwhat, exactly? Plastic works really well, Randy Reddig, an entrepreneur
who was a part of Squares founding team, told me, taking a shot at what he called mobile wallet hysteria.
I have a wallet right now in my pocket, and its great. It can feel like this is something that nobody is asking for. Its
solutioneering: Take something that exists just fine in the meatspace world and make it digital and somehow were all
supposed to believe its better.
To Reddig, the true future of payments is revealing itself inside
many of Silicon Valleys biggest new companies.
Airbnb, he said, has one of the most sophisticated payments

infrastructures of any company in the world, handling deposits
and disbursements in hundreds of markets, many with different
currencies.
All the innovation around payments is a means to an

end - table stakes, he said.
Uber has one of, if not the most used mobile payments
methods in the world, and it was absolutely crucial -
they had to do it to create the experience and service
they wanted.
Payment technology created certainty for riders and

drivers that theyd get paid - it facilitated trust.
Much as the true value of a retailers mobile payment app is in

the metadata it gobbles up, the real power of digital payments
lies in the largely invisible infrastructure that undergirds them.
Fintech companies like Square arent exactly sexy, but they

Venmo screenshot allow small businesses and individual merchants to process
transactions without prohibitively expensive equipment or the
fees that legacy credit companies charge.
Its about financial inclusion and serving real, normal people, Reddig said.
There is a lot of opportunity to build very profitable businesses that operate better than incumbents in
transparency, great design, great user experience. Millennials dont trust banks, but they trust Apple and Google.
This is already happening, just outside the U.S. If fintechs true believers think itll fundamentally change the way we live, the
developing world is where their vision is revealing itself most clearly. In Kenya, for example, the payment messaging service
M-Pesa has attracted over 13 million monthly active users (out of a population of 44.3 million).
As of last May, roughly 42% of Kenyas GDP was transacted via M-Pesa, all without tying Kenyans to expensive,
cumbersome bank accounts.
But more than that, M-Pesa has effectively invented a new form of credit thats based on a history of reliable transactions from
phone to phone, rather than through a bank.
In a world where 2.5 billion people dont have bank accounts, systems like M-Pesa are set to leapfrog Western banking the
same way much of the developing world skipped the desktop and went straight to the smartphone for its computing needs.
In reinventing money transfers, M-Pesa and its ilk offer more than a new way to pay - they are opportunity engines, offering
the ability to build credit in a world that previously shut them out. And in the process, there are billions to be made in transfer
fees.
By my third week, the cashless, frictionless future Id hoped to live began to feel glitchy, burdensome, and alienating. I had
to meticulously plan my every move hours or even days in advance - a haircut required me to convince my barber to start
using Venmo, going out for a meal meant lining up a dining companion willing to submit to confused stares and drawn-out
check-settling processes.
One January afternoon, I found myself trying to persuade a prodigiously bearded, flannel-shirt-wearing barista named Michael
to allow me to pay him personally via Square Cash for a coffee, which he would then pay the register for. After a confession
that this was all for a story from me and a pity laugh from him, Michael reached for his phone, but not before he locked eyes
with me.
Im only doing this because I want you to write about how much this sucks for us,he said.
He went on to talk about a popular coffee app called Cups, which allows customers to order and pay all inside the
phone.
Its like, now everyone who comes in is a robot - they just stare at their phone and wait to have their name called.
Nobody even looks at us, he said.
At this point, replacing my wallet with a phone struck me as little more than a shallow gimmick, an academic exercise, like
living in a house mid-construction, before the appliances work and the water and electricity have been switched on:
Its entirely doable, and chances are no ones going to get hurt,
but thats an awful reason to do anything. I needed something
more drastic, which is how I found Hannes Sjoblad, who told
me, with surprisingly little fanfare, that he could make me a
cyborg.
When I contacted Sjoblad, whose LinkedIn profile lists him as

the chief disruption officer at the Swedish biohacking
group BioNyfiken, hed been experimenting
with NFC and RFID chip implants by hosting chipping parties
for curious biohackers-to-be.
His xNT NFC chip is really just a prototype: Sjoblads

implantees are guinea pigs testing out what they believe could
become common uses for a technology thats usually reserved
for phones and credit cards.
Sjoblad himself uses his as a replacement for his house keys,

business cards, and bike locks.
I asked him if I could use the chip - the same kind, more or less,
that sits in and powers the Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay
parts of our phones - to pay for things in a store; he wasnt sure,
but he knew a programmer who could link it to a bitcoin wallet.
We Skyped once and formalized plans to make me an

implantee.
I think when you meet us youll see that were pretty normal mainstream persons, he told me over a grainy video
chat. Were not like some underground den of hackers. He let out the kind of nervous, mischievous laugh you might let slip if
you ran an underground den of hackers.
In the meantime, if I couldnt bring the future to myself, I would have to do the next best thing: get into bitcoin. At its most
basic, bitcoin is the very complicated product of advanced mathematics and cryptography, a peer-to-peer system for online
payments that does not require a trusted central authority.
Bitcoin can be mined by those who donate part of their computing power to help verify the peer-to-peer transactions going on
in bitcoins ecosystem via the blockchain, which is a string of bundled past transactions. (Its a bit like if you loaned part of
your computer to your bank to help it process payments across the world and got a very tiny reward for the donation).
But bitcoins real beauty, according to its disciples, is that its not really governed by any entity, making it nonreversible,
unfreezable, and anonymous, all with very low transaction fees. Its a powerful idea, and bitcoin has been a bolded and
underlined bullet point in every future-of-finance argument. But in 2016, almost eight years since its creation, using bitcoin is a
world-class exercise in frustration.
If living without cards and cash meant planning all my

purchases in painful detail, living without state-backed currency
of any kind only exacerbated the problem.
To buy anything immediately out in the physical world, I had to

use bitcoin to buy gift cards and then redeem them at the store
for groceries, meals, and anything else.
When I ran out of toilet paper, I loaded up Gyft, a digital gift

card site, and purchased a $15 CVS card, which
I then redeemed for Cottonelle as the store opened - all told, a
45-minute ordeal.
Splitting the bill was impossible without a friend willing to set up

their own bitcoin wallet, and sending money through bitcoins
blockchain technology felt almost purposefully intimidating, with
long, wonky wallet addresses, exchanges, and codes.
And again, theres trust - using bitcoin means transferring real

money into a volatile currency, which hit home when bitcoins
value dropped almost 18% just hours after I converted $800
dollars to book a flight.
Though today bitcoin is niche but somewhat stable, its not

exactly hard to imagine the whole thing melting down overnight.
(As a challenge, my editor tasked me with buying something tangible with bitcoins jokey, basically defunct cousin,
Dogecoin: I was rejected by a meme memorabilia merchant on Etsy when I asked to pay for a mug with a cartoon frog using
Dogecoin. A new low.)
But simply replacing paper dollars with digital ones isnt the draw for bitcoins biggest advocates. Olaf Carlson-Wee, a 23-
year-old early employee at the bitcoin startup Coinbase, has been living almost exclusively on bitcoin for three years.
The exciting things are not where bitcoin competes with regular money, he told me, but where the tech is so
radically different it creates new modes of behavior.
Carlson-Wee sees apps like Apple Pay as abstraction layers, basically just a digital copy of a common credit card
- unlike bitcoin, which is a whole new platform.
Adi Chikara, a strategist for 3Pillar Global who has been advising on and investing in companies using blockchain technology
for years, sees its elegant, unbreakable cryptographic security as a new way to ensure trust.
In some scenarios, he argues, blockchain technology can act as a replacement for currency as a whole. Imagine a system
where legal contracts are automatically executed through the blockchain - for example, your monthly car payments are
directly linked to your ability to unlock your vehicle and put it in gear. The particulars are complicated, but blockchain has the
potential to act as a powerful reinvention of 21st-century bartering.
Its also, ultimately, maybe the only way to ever move past a state-backed currency.
We had paper and it was backed by gold, and right now were trusting the government - but with the blockchain
you may not necessarily need the state, Chikara told me.
The early signs of this are around today - Circle, for example, is a peer-to-peer money transfer app, similar to Venmo, which
is powered by the blockchain, meaning, unlike Venmo, the payments are instantaneous and can easily be converted into
different currencies without fees.
Chikara readily admits were years, if not decades, away from a viable, universal blockchain-centric financial system. Like
Venmo and Apple Pay and cash, bitcoin is still subject to human error, like in 2014, when the executive in charge of Mt. Gox,
a popular cryptocurrency exchange, embezzled and lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin. But Chikara still
proposes a scenario with no banks and no federal reserve.
There is no printing of money, he said. Its owned jointly by the people themselves, and they trust each other.
detoxification/protection."
Blockchain technology is already being tested by traders across the world and has been implemented in the Australian stock
exchange. IBM, Nasdaq OMX, Intel, and Cisco are exploring the blockchain and blockchain-based open ledger projects for
trading, along with banks like Wells Fargo and JPMorgan. And recently Goldman Sachs filed a patent for SETLCoin, the
companys very own blockchain-powered currency.
But perhaps the best description of bitcoins potential came from Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, who sees blockchain
technology as nothing less than the most significant open platform since the web.
We take what was once a highly controlled system and turn it into a software development problem where people
can go nuts, he said.
And it becomes like the internet, where you have a big open network, people can build whatever they want. The
market decides whats good and whats not. And before you know it, you have this great big open network that has
all these great ideas on it and things can really start to get interesting.
It was the beginning of week four and bitcoin had driven me deeper into my hermetic state -most of my purchases were being
made online and my relation to the real world was almost exclusively conducted through a screen of some sort. I needed a
change of scenery.
As it turns out, if you yammer about the future of money long enough, somebody is likely to tell you to go to Sweden and see
it for yourself. There, among the bountiful sweaters, sunless winters, and impossibly good genes, is the closest thing youll
find to a truly cashless society.
Just 20% of all consumer payments are conducted using cash in Sweden; according to a 2015 survey, only 2% of Swedens
economy revolves around the ancient, dirty exchange of paper money and coins. I booked my flight rather painlessly using
bitcoin (thanks, Expedia!) to figure out how and why 9 million polite socialists have beaten the rest of us to the paperless
money future.
With its standing desks, glass-walled meeting rooms, and long corridors lined with stark black-and-white portraits, the office
of Situation Stockholm looks like a startup. In fact, its almost the complete opposite: a 21-year-old glossy print magazine sold
primarily by the citys homeless population. The portraits on the wall are of the magazines vendors, who are, incidentally,
some of the first pioneers of cashless street busking.
A common response from presumptive customers was Sorry, I dont have any cash, Jenny Lindroth, an
operations manager at the magazine, told me. So we started to think of ways to take this cash business - a lot of
our vendors dont have bank accounts - digital.
In 2007, Situation Stockholm started giving select vendors the ability to sell the magazine by having customers text a number,
which would then add a charge to their cell phone bill. In 2013, the company bought card readers from a Swedish payment
company called iZettle and sent its most reliable vendors out with them.
According to Since then, Situation Stockholm has seen an uptick

in sales for vendors, as well as a newfound agency.
People outside the country seem to think that its

interesting or funny that homeless people have these
phones and card readers, but its not really big news
here in Sweden, Lindroth said.
Its just common practice now - in Sweden you dont

have cash.
Walking around Stockholms icy cobblestoned sidewalks and

winding, low-arched alleyways, I found myself ducking into
countless shops, bars, and konditori cafs, eavesdropping on
checkout registers and craning my neck for a peek at local
wallets.
Not once did I see a paper bill.
Paying by phone was commonplace, and I didnt even get a

weird look when I scanned a QR code at a grocery store
checkout and wordlessly strolled away with my basket of
smoked meats.
Situation Stockholm
Jacob de Geer, the CEO of iZettle, Swedens cashlessness can be traced back to the early 1990s, when tax subsidies
encouraged citizens to buy early personal computers en masse, thereby making the country extra technologically
adventurous.
But all that early adoption hasnt been easy for everyone. Swedish banks have drastically cut back on ATMs, raised cash
transaction fees roughly 300% in the last four years, and made depositing as inconvenient as possible.
Recently, Lindroth witnessed an elderly woman being turned away at the bank after she attempted to deposit a large amount
of cash shed been storing at home.
If she had transferred that money from her phone, she wouldnt have been questioned in the same way.
Related: Cashless Crisis: With Digital Payments, Civilization Comes To An End Until Power Is Restored
The problem, according to Bjrn Eriksson - a former head of the Swedish police and Interpol, and a prominent dissenting
voice in the countrys rush to cashlessness - is not the end of paper money, but the speed of the transition, which is especially
hard on older generations, those in rural areas, tourists, and new immigrants who come to the country without cards or bank
accounts.
Its gotten so that some people are resorting to hiding money in their microwave because they have nowhere to
put it, Eriksson told me.
It can even be dangerous to public health: Just last September, Swedens highest court ruled against the Kronoberg County
Health Authority and reprimanded them for not accepting cash as legal tender for medical services in all but two of their health
clinics.
Access to new technology is never evenly distributed. And even those like iZettles de Geer, who are enabling and profiting
from a digital payments revolution, have reservations about abandoning paper money outright:
Everyone thinks Id like to see the death of cash, but privacy is a big issue for all of us.
Cashs benefit is privacy. Theres plenty thats legal to buy out there that you dont want everyone to know youve bought. If
America is headed down Swedens cashless path, we have much to learn from our Scandinavian friends. Or get comfortable
finding stacks of twenties in the fridge next time youre at grandmas place.
Chai at the Calm Body Modification clinic
As I pushed through the door of Calm Body Modification, a bell tinkled amiably, as if to reaffirm the shops namesake. I
looked up at the proprietors, tall men with all their exposed skin covered in tattoos. Above one, a sign advertised genital
piercings for 1,000 kronor.
My piercer, Chai, and I retired to the backroom where my skewering would take place. So now Im going to tell
you something you probably didnt consider before,he said, furrowing his brow.
People - very conservative right-wing Christian types - might come after you for this. They see it as the Mark of
the Beast. I just want you to be prepared.I nodded like this is something I had expected to hear.
This comes from the Book of Revelation: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to
receive a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads; and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
The passage essentially describes a closed economic system, where power is consolidated and financial gatekeepers can
shut anyone out. It made for a potent metaphor. Id spent the last three weeks in search of a connected, seamless future, but I
found myself more separated than ever from the people around me.
Around week two, Id noticed how robotic my interactions had
become during any financial transaction: walk into some reliable
big-box establishment, mumble order, flash phone, move down
the line.
Moments like my conversation at the coffee shop with Michael,

the barista, heightened these concerns.
The brick-and-mortar world of commerce is in the midst of a

rewiring - one thats supposed to bring in more merchants and
give consumers more access to what they want when they want
it. But that means new behaviors, some of which are likely to be
harmful.
New commerce apps and technology may have a lower barrier

to entry than, say, credit cards, but many of these programs -
like miles cards - reward you and work best when youve got
money to spend.
And while much of fintech is billed as liberating us from the old

ways and institutions, new gatekeepers are bound to emerge, in
many respects, guiding us - perhaps unwittingly, at times -
toward the outcomes that their data analysis has told them we
want.
Bitcoin evangelists are optimistic, but the legacy banking

system is as inescapable as it is flawed. Even todays most
disruptive money solutions are still reliant on traditional
institutions.
Situation Stockholm
While Kenyas M-Pesa allows money to be transferred from phone to phone outside of banks using the cellular company
Vodafones network, at the end of the day, the transferred money is still backed by the pooled accounts held in regulated
commercial banks.
Bitcoin or blockchain-based currencies could free us from the tyranny of service fees and interest rates and all the regulations
that complicate and ultimately exclude merchants and large populations from the global economy. Or bitcoin could be
adopted by legacy institutions that will strip the technology of its open platforms and use it to create a slick, more efficient
model of the current system.
The fumes from Chais alcohol swab jolted me back into the moment. OK, just a slight pinch, here, he said. Sometimes it
helps to look away.

Being chipped was oddly anticlimactic. A trip to the doctor revealed that I hadnt done anything too horrible to myself.
Wait, youre telling me I can unlock doors with that thing? my physician cheerily inquired when I asked if I should be worried
about my body rejecting the chip. I might have to get one myself!
Over the course of a few weeks, the whole thing became an afterthought; a piece of me that stored information, like a low-
tech flash drive that I couldnt misplace.
But there was still the problem of payments. I reached out to former Venmo employee and co-founder Iqram Magdon-Ismail,
who then enlisted the help of Nuseir Yassin, another former Venmo employee, to help me become the first person to pay for a
meal with his hand.
I asked Magdon-Ismail, whod had a hand in building one of the most successful person-to-person money transferring apps,
to explain the allure of the payments industry. One side effect of this industry is that you make a lot of money if you move a
lot of money, he said.
If youre serving an underbanked community with a financial product, you get a couple hundred thousand users
and you make a small return on each one of them - well, thats a really good business, right there.
Its a big pie, eMarketers Yeager said of the money to be made in the payments space.
Its going to be around $100 billion by the end of this year, and thats just retail mobile commerce.
Similarly, Jeremy Allaire, who runs Circle, cited a study by the Aite research group suggesting that personal
payments in the U.S. is a $1.2 trillion market, 90% of which is cash and checks.
What if you can help introduce a new behavior? he said of the opportunity to capture some of that money.
As Alex Rampell, a general partner and fintech investor at the

Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, told
me, the genius of Apple Pay isnt in the tap to pay in the
physical world at Whole Foods but the ability to store payment
credentials and personal information for millions of cardholders
and create a one-touch fingerprint payment method across the
entire web.
If successful, Apple will have cemented itself as the most widely

used and reliable online payment passport, allowing consumers
to stop paying premiums at online retail giants like Amazon for
the simple convenience of one-click payments.
And then, Rampell suspects, Apple will make the digital wallet available to developers.
If Apple and Google are smart about this, theyll encourage opening the wallet up as the next platform, he said.
Imagine allowing budgeting apps like Mint to operate on top of the wallet so that they help you budget your
finances in real time.
Or allowing lending companies to build a plugin to the Apple Wallet so every person who uses Apple Pay saves
50% on their interest rates? That could force a company like Capital One into bankruptcy by no fault of its own.
And thats a big, big deal.
All that potential is intoxicating. Over the course of my month, I found myself unexpectedly buying into the possibilities of
bitcoin, seduced by the ease of phone-waving payment. It feels good to be hopeful about these things, to imagine that theres
a way beyond crazy fees you never asked for - a way to replicate the safety, trust, and stability of banks without their
consolidation of power and bureaucracy.
But disrupting at software speeds in the physical world means feeling growing pains - usually important, ignore-at-your-own-
peril signals - without having time to consider and interpret them. It turns progressive early adopters like those in Sweden into
a system that can exclude its elderly and consolidate power in a handful of banks, all in the name of some kind of progress.
The future of money is coming - theres no stopping it. But there is a matter of control, of receiving the future incrementally
and responsibly.
Weeks passed and normal life returned, save for the still-unused microchip in my left hand. It had become a life raft for the
experiment, which had largely failed to yield the kinds of aha moments I had assumed Id be having when I locked away my
wallet.
And despite the hype and the influx of money and the feeling
that everything is just about to change, its going to take real
time.
(Its very much worth noting that just in the week before this
story was published, the fintech peer-to-peer lending darling
Lending Clubs CEO resigned over an internal
probe concerning improper loan sales; a security breach in a
Hong Kong cryptocurrency exchange resulted in the loss of at
least $2.14 million; and the massive retailer-led consortium
MCX has significantly delayed - perhaps killed - the rollout of its
digital wallet, CurrentC, to concentrate more heavily on other
non-mobile-commerce areas of the financial sector.)
Thats because todays fintech is more evolutionary than it is revolutionary. And when this change does happen, it will do so
on the backs of a new generation that isnt just asking for a new money model but is demanding it. Buying a sandwich with my
fist isnt some paradigm shift - its a stand-in for something weightier: a future that feels just a bit less recognizable.
One April morning, my inbox pinged. Id given Yassin full access to my Venmo account, after which he set up a server linked
to my unique Venmo payment key. Now his code was working in test runs.
We picked a restaurant - a Sri Lankan place on New Yorks Lower East Side thats partly owned by Magdon-Ismail and of
course accepts Venmo - and Yassin coded the chip so that it would launch a website on the merchants device when
scanned.
The site would trigger a payment from my Venmo account with an automatic 20% tip. All Id need was my hand.

We got to the restaurant a bit after noon on a cold, rainy Monday. Absentmindedly forking spicy lamb into my mouth, I was
sure wed be derailed by a glitch or a bug.
Word of the impending hand payment spread in the cramped restaurant. Our waiter, a friendly guy in a flat-brimmed Yankees
cap and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt, was excited but announced his skepticism. This is crazy, dude, he said, half
excitedly, half exasperatedly.
When the bill came, I ambled up to the counter of the cramped restaurant as the other diners craned their necks.
Our waiter held out the phone as I thrust my clammy fist forward. Nothing registered. My stomach dropped. He waved the
phone like a metal detector around the whole of my fist.
Finally, a beep. We locked eyes, pupils dilated. Numbers were input. Another beep. Then, the ching of a cash register.
The sweetest sound.
United States Government Intentionally Destroyed 9/11 Evidence

June 9 2016 | From: PaulCraigRoberts / WashingtonsBlog
If the story that the US government told us about 9/11 were true, why did the government destroy
the evidence, lie to the 9/11 Commission, and prevent a real investigation?
The clear and indisputable answer is that if the evidence had not been destroyed and a real investigation had
occurred, the conclusion would have been that 9/11 was an inside job designed to give the neoconservatives their
new Pearl Harbor necessary to launch their wars in the Middle East.
Related: Is the War on Terror a Falsity?
The extraordinary gullibility of the American people is responsible for 15 years of warfare, destroyed countries, and millions
of dead, maimed, orphaned, and displaced people, and for the rise of a police state in the United States. The ignorance and
gullibility of the American people are responsible for these massive crimes against humanity and for Americans loss of their
constitutionall protections.
Presumption of a Cover-Up
Judges and lawyers know that if someone intentionally destroys evidence hes probably trying to hide his
crime. American law has long recognized that destruction of evidence raises a presumption of guilt for the person who
destroyed the evidence.
So what does it mean when the US government intentionally destroyed massive amounts of evidence related to 9/11?
Related: CIA Veteran Announces Live on RT That All Terrorist Attacks in US Are False Flags
Judge and Prosecutor Destroy Evidence
For example, it was revealed last week that the judge overseeing the trial of surviving 9/11 suspects conspired with the
prosecution to destroy evidence relevant to a key suspects defense. And see this.
(The Defense Department has also farmed out most of the work of both prosecuting and defending the surviving 9/11
suspects to the same private company. And the heads of the military tribunal prosecuting the 9/11 suspects said that the
trials must be rigged so that there are no acquittals.)
Destruction of Videotapes
The CIA videotaped the interrogation of 9/11 suspects, falsely told the 9/11 Commission that there were no videotapes or
other records of the interrogations, and then illegally destroyed all of the tapes and transcripts of the interrogations.
Related: Obama Administration Caught Conspiring to Destroy Key 9/11 Evidence in Trial at Gitmo
9/11 Commission co-chairs Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton wrote:
Those who knew about those videotapes - and did not tell us about them - obstructed our investigation."
And:
Daniel Marcus, a law professor at American University who served as general counsel for the Sept. 11
commission and was involved in the discussions about interviews with Al Qaeda leaders, said he had heard
nothing about any tapes being destroyed."
If tapes were destroyed, he said, its a big deal, its a very big deal, because it could amount to obstruction of
justice to withhold evidence being sought in criminal or fact-finding investigations."
Related: How the CIA Writes History
Destruction of Air Traffic Control Tapes
The tape of interviews of air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 was intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand,
cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building as shown by this
NY Times article (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view) and by this article from the Chicago Sun-Times.
Black Boxes
The FBI long ago found and analyzed the black box recorders from the airplanes which hit the Twin Towers, but
has consistently denied that they were ever found.
Pentagon Fibs
The 9/11 Commissioners concluded that officials from the Pentagon lied to the Commission, and considered
recommending criminal charges for such false statements.
Soviet-Style Minders
The chairs of both the 9/11 Commission and the Official Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 said that Soviet-style government
minders obstructed the investigation into 9/11 by intimidating witnesses (and see this).
In other words, the minders obstructed witnesses from openly and candidly talking about what they knew.
Undermining Investigation
President Bush and Vice-President Cheney took the rare step of personally requesting that congress limit all 9/11
investigation solely to intelligence failures.
The administration also opposed the creation of a 9/11 commission. Once it was forced (by pressure from widows of 9-11
victims) to allow a commission to be formed, the administration appointed as executive director an administration insider,
whose area of expertise is the creation and maintenance of public myths thought to be true, even if not actually true, who
was involved in pre-9/11 intelligence briefings, and who was one of the key architects of the pre-emptive war doctrine.
This executive director, who controlled what the Commission did and did not analyze, then limited the scope of the
Commissions inquiry so that the overwhelming majority of questions about 9/11 remained unasked (see this and this).
The administration then starved the commission of funds. The government spent $175 million over $300 million in todays
dollars investigating the Challenger space shuttle disaster. It spent $152 million on the the Columbia disaster
investigation. It spent $30 million investigating the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But the government only authorized $15
million for the 9/11 Commission.
The government also failed to provide crucial documents to the 9/11 investigators. And see this.
The government refused to share much information with the Commission, refused to force high-level officials to testify under
oath, and allowed Bush and Cheney to be questioned jointly.
Moreover, as reported by ACLU, FireDogLake, RawStory and many others, declassified documents shows that Senior
Bush administration officials sternly cautioned the 9/11 Commission against probing too deeply into the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001.
The 9-11 Commission took this warning to heart, and refused to examine virtually any evidence which contradicted the
administrations official version of events. As stated by the State Departments Coordinator for Counterterrorism who was
the point man for the U.S. governments international counterterrorism policy in the first term of the Bush administration
there were things the [9/11] commissions wanted to know about and things they didnt want to know about.
Saudi Role
Investigation into Saudi government aid to 9/11 conspirators was also obstructed.
For example, Philip Shenon the 20-year New York Times reporter who wrote a book on the 9/11 Commission reports:
The [911] commissioner said the renewed public debate could force a spotlight on a mostly unknown chapter of
the history of the 9/11 commission: behind closed doors, members of the panels staff fiercely protested the
way the material about the Saudis was presented in the final report, saying it underplayed or ignored
evidence that Saudi officials especially at lower levels of the government were part of an al-Qaida
support network that had been tasked to assist the hijackers after they arrived in the US.
In fact, there were repeated showdowns, especially over the Saudis, between the staff and the
commissions hard-charging executive director, University of Virginia historian Philip Zelikow, who joined
the Bush administration as a senior adviser to the secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, after leaving the
commission.
The staff included experienced investigators from the FBI, the Department of Justice and the CIA, as well as the
congressional staffer who was the principal author of the 28 pages.
Zelikow fired a staffer, who had repeatedly protested over limitations on the Saudi investigation, after she
obtained a copy of the 28 pages outside of official channels.
Other staffers described an angry scene late one night, near the end of the investigation, when two
investigators who focused on the Saudi allegations were forced to rush back to the commissions offices
after midnight after learning to their astonishment that some of the most compelling evidence about a
Saudi tie to 9/11 was being edited out of the report or was being pushed to tiny, barely readable footnotes
and endnotes.
The staff protests were mostly overruled.
***
But Kean, Hamilton and Zelikow clearly do not speak for a number of the other commissioners, who have
repeatedly suggested they are uncomfortable with the perception that the commission exonerated Saudi
Arabia and who have joined in calling for public release of the 28 pages."
Indeed, an FBI informant hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000. Specifically, investigators for the Congressional
Joint Inquiry discovered that an FBI informant had hosted and even rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when
the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and
that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House.
As the New York Times notes:
Senator Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat who is a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
accused the White House on Tuesday of covering up evidence.
The accusation stems from the Federal Bureau of Investigations refusal to allow investigators for a Congressional
inquiry and the independent Sept. 11 commission to interview an informant, Abdussattar Shaikh, who had been the
landlord in San Diego of two Sept. 11 hijackers."
Letting Terrorists Go Free
A former FBI translator who Senators Leahy and Grassley, among others, have claimed is credible, and who the
administration has gagged for years without any logical basis - has stated that this administration knowingly and
intentionally let many directly or indirectly involved in that terrorist act [September 11th] go free untouched and
uninvestigated?
Destruction of Physical Evidence
The former head of fire science and engineering for the agency responsible for finding out why the Twin Towers and World
Trade Center 7 collapsed on 9/11 (the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) who is one of the worlds
leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering wrote that evidence
necessary to determine the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Centers was being destroyed. And see this.
Note the demolition charges going off...
In addition, the official investigators themselves were largely denied access to the site and the evidence contained there, or
even access to such basic information as the blueprints for the World Trade Center.
The government has also refused to release the computer models showing how the trade centers fell, making it impossible
for anyone to double-check its assumptions.
Whether you believe the Twin Towers and World Trade Center building 7 were brought down with explosives or by airplanes
and fires, destroying evidence prevented engineers and scientists from figuring out what went wrong to prevent
skyscrapers from collapsing in the future.
9/11 Commissioners Disgusted and Call For a New Investigation
The 9/11 Commissioners publicly expressed anger at cover ups and obstructions of justice by the government into
a real 9/11 investigation:
9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says I dont believe for a minute we got everything right, that the
Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate
should continueThe 9/11 Commission chair said the Commission was set up to fail
The Commissions co-chairs said that the CIA (and likely the White House) obstructed our investigation
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative
to what we outlined in our version . . . We didnt have access . . . .
9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were
getting
9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: It is a national scandal; This
investigation is now compromised; and One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11
issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up. When asked in 2009 if he thought
there should be another 9/11 commission, Cleland responded: There should be about fifteen 9/11 commissions
The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staffs inquiry said At some level
of the government, at some point in timethere was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened. He
also said I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described. The tapes told a radically
different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin. This is not true.
The Co-Chair of the congressional investigation into 9/11 Bob Graham and 9/11 Commissioner and former
Senator Bob Kerrey are calling for either a PERMANENT 9/11 commission or a new 9/11 investigation to get to
the bottom of it
9/11 Commissioner John Lehman says that a new investigation should be vigorously pursued
Planting False Evidence
Planting false evidence is another act which creates presumption of guilt.

The type of torture used by the U.S. on alleged surviving 9/11 co-conspirators is of a special type. Senator Levin revealed
that the the U.S. used Communist torture techniques specifically aimed at creating FALSE confessions. (and
see this, this, this and this).
According to NBC News:
Much of the 9/11 Commission Report was based upon the testimony of people who were tortured
At least four of the people whose interrogation figured in the 9/11 Commission Report have claimed that they told
interrogators information as a way to stop being tortured
One of the Commissions main sources of information was tortured until he agreed to sign a confession that he
was NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO READ
The 9/11 Commission itself doubted the accuracy of the torture confessions, and yet kept their doubts to
themselves
Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh who broke the Iraq torture and Vietnam massacre stories writes:
Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about the terrorists identities
and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant to be found.
A former high-level intelligence official told me, Whatever trail was left was left deliberately - for the F.B.I. to
chase.
Panama Papers Show How Rich United States Clients Hid Millions Abroad
June 8 2016 | From: NewYorkTimes
Over the years, William R. Ponsoldt had earned tens of millions of dollars building a string of
successful companies. He had renovated apartment buildings in the New York City area.
Panama City, Panama, home to the law firm Mossack Fonseca. A trove of the firms internal documents, known as the Panama Papers, have
shaken the financial world.
Bred Arabian horses. Run a yacht club in the Bahamas, a rock quarry in Michigan, an auto-parts company in
Canada, even a multibillion-dollar hedge fund.
Related: IRD poised to pounce as Panama Papers go public
Now, as he neared retirement, Mr. Ponsoldt, of Jensen Beach, Fla., had a special request for Mossack Fonseca, a
Panama-based law firm well placed in the world of offshore finance: How could he confidentially shift his money into
overseas bank accounts and use them to buy real estate and move funds to his children?
He is the manager of one of the richest hedge funds in the world, a lawyer at Mossack Fonseca wrote when the
firm was introduced to Mr. Ponsoldt in 2004.
Primary objective is to maintain the utmost confidentiality and ideally to open bank accounts without disclosing his
name as a private person.
In summary, the firm explained: He needs asset protection schemes, which we are trying to sell him.
Thus began a relationship that would last at least through 2015 as Mossack Fonseca managed eight shell companies and
a foundation on the familys behalf, moving at least $134 million through seven banks in six countries - little of which could
be traced directly to Mr. Ponsoldt or his children.
These transactions and others like them for a stable of wealthy clients from the United States are outlined in extraordinary
detail in the trove of internal Mossack Fonseca documents known as the Panama Papers. The materials were obtained by
the German newspaper Sddeutsche Zeitung and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, and have now
been shared with The New York Times.

How the Panama-based law firm set up offshore corporations, foundations and bank accounts for wealthy clients:
In recent weeks, the papers revelations about Mossack Fonsecas international clientele have shaken the financial world.
The Timess examination of the files found that Mossack Fonseca also had at least 2,400 United States-based clients over
the past decade, and set up at least 2,800 companies on their behalf in the British Virgin Islands, Panama, the Seychelles
and other jurisdictions that specialize in helping hide wealth.
Many of these transactions were legal; there are legitimate reasons to create offshore accounts, particularly when setting
up a business overseas or buying real estate in a foreign country.
But the documents - confidential emails, copies of passports, ledgers of bank transactions and even the various code
names used to refer to clients - show that the firm did much more than simply create offshore shell companies and
accounts. For many of its American clients, Mossack Fonseca offered a how-to guide of sorts on skirting or evading United
States tax and financial disclosure laws.
Primary objective is to maintain the utmost confidentiality and ideally to open bank accounts without disclosing his
name as a private person.
- An email from a Mossack Fonseca lawyer
These included locating an individual from a tax-convenient jurisdiction to be the straw man owner of an offshore account,
concealing the true American owner, or encouraging one client it knew was a United States resident to use his foreign
passports to open accounts offshore, again to avoid scrutiny from regulators, the documents show.
If the compliance department at one foreign bank contacted by Mossack Fonseca on behalf of its clients started to ask too
many questions about who owned the account, the firm simply turned to other, less inquisitive banks.
And even though the law firm said publicly that it would not work with clients convicted of crimes or whose financial
activities raised red flags, several individuals in the United States with criminal records were able to turn to Mossack
Fonseca to open new companies offshore, the documents show.

Federal law allows United States citizens to transfer money overseas, but these foreign holdings must be declared to the
Treasury Department, and any taxes on capital gains, interest or dividends must be paid - just as if the money had been
invested domestically. Federal officials estimate that the government loses between $40 billion and $70 billion a year in
unpaid taxes on offshore holdings.
Experts in federal tax law, money laundering and offshore accounts - asked by The Times to examine certain documents or
at least to identify legal issues raised by the money management techniques that Mossack Fonseca advocated - said the
law firm at times had come up with creative, but apparently legal, strategies to save clients money.
A common tactic: selling real estate as a shift of corporate assets, instead of as a piece of property subject to transfer
taxes.
While the experts were reluctant to declare that the law firm or its clients had broken any laws given that no charges have
been filed, they said they were surprised at how explicitly Mossack Fonseca had offered advice that appeared carefully
crafted to help its clients evade United States tax laws.
For many of its American clients, Mossack Fonseca offered a how-to guide of sorts on skirting or evading United States tax and financial disclosure
laws.
The more correspondence that you have between a U.S. person and a bank or law firm discussing tax issues and
efforts at concealment, the stronger the government will see it as a potential case worth prosecuting, said Kevin
M. Downing, the lead Justice Department prosecutor in the UBS offshore banking and tax evasion cases, now at
the Washington law firm Miller & Chevalier.
Mossack Fonseca has said repeatedly in recent weeks that its lawyers and staff members have honored international tax
and banking laws, and that it is the victim in this case of an illegal hacking attack.
But presented with summaries of several cases by The Times, Mossack Fonseca did not try to explain its actions. It simply
said that its standards had improved in recent years, as rules internationally had tightened.
Our significantly expanded compliance office today not only evaluates new client candidates, but also existing
accounts, and especially those that were established prior to the new international regulatory regime coming into
effect, a spokeswoman said in a written statement, referring to a 2010 law passed by Congress.
It wasnt always this way.
The firms American client list does not appear to include the sort of high-profile political figures who have emerged from
reporting on the Panama Papers in many other countries around the world.
But the services offered by Mossack Fonseca, with 500 employees in more than 30 offices worldwide, were in high
demand by the rich and famous in the United States.
In 2001, Sanford I. Weill, then the chief of Citigroup, set up an offshore account called April Fool for his yacht. Alfonso
Soriano, a former Major League Baseball All-Star player with the Yankees and other teams, had a Panamanian corporation
created for him.
John E. Akridge III, a leading real estate developer in Washington, flew to Panama to meet with Mossack Fonseca lawyers,
who in 2011 created the Cyclops Family Foundation in Panama, along with a related bank account.
A spokesman for Mr. Weill said the accounts were used for legitimate purposes, and appropriate disclosures were filed.
Mr. Akridge and Mr. Soriano did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Related Document: William Ponsoldt and Mossack Fonseca
For its best customers, like the Ponsoldts, who declined repeated requests to discuss their work with Mossack Fonseca,
the firms ministrations went far beyond legal services and banking.
It acted as a concierge for all details regarding your properties and worldwide business affairs, for example, helping the
family confidentially purchase (and dispose of) luxury condominiums at resort destinations and even arranging repairs for a
car stored at a vacation home and hiring a contractor to fix broken poolside tiles, the documents show.
You deserve the best Mr. Ponsoldt, and we will try to help you the most we can, the firm explained in an email.
The firms American clients often expressed disbelief at how much they could lighten their tax burden by using the
techniques advocated by Mossack Fonseca.
At hearing that he can make nearly $8 million per year just on tax savings, a client from Pennsylvania was now
wide awaken, a Mossack Fonseca staff member wrote.
I could even detect sweats coming down from his forehead and his cheeks were beginning to blush with crimson
excitement. Noticing his interest, I went in for the kill.
Black Hole for Assets
In 2006, using a secret email account set up by Mossack Fonseca so his correspondence would not be traced by the
authorities, a businessman from Washington State asked a common question among the firms potential American clients:
How does a US citizen legally get funds to Panama without the knowledge of the US government and how can
those funds be profitably invested without the US government knowing about them?
The reply came from Ramss Owens, then a partner who helped run the firms trust division, offering clients effective
solutions to enhance your privacy, protect your wealth. Mr. Owens laid out a basic menu of services: a package deal
setting up an offshore company in what he promised would be a relatively cheap and quick transaction.
We have right now a special offer by which we create a Private Foundation/company combination for a flat fee of
US$4,500.00, Mr. Owens said.
It includes Charter Documents, Regulations, nominee officers and directors, bank account and management of
funds, provision of authorized signatories, neutral phone and fax numbers and mail forwarding services for both
the private foundation and its underlying company.
With this legal structure in place, Mr. Owens went on to explain, any money placed in these accounts would essentially go
into a black hole.
If we create a Private Foundation and the underlying company for you, the funds become completely private (US
cannot know) as soon as the funds are deposited under a bank account or investment account in the name of the
underlying company or the private foundation, he wrote.
The benefits of such an arrangement were numerous, he added, detailing how the client could effectively evade United
States tax laws while protecting himself - and the firm.
You can take the money in cash, you can do a bad investment; you can purchase something and not receive
anything (an expensive piano, an expensive software), Mr. Owens wrote.
You can receive an invoice from Panama or any other location and that would justify some of the outgoing
moneys. You can also declare everything to the tax administration.
Any decision you make, please be aware that you will have to sign a disclaimer to us. We can only suggest, but
the final decision to take the money out of the country is fully yours, and under the professional opinion of
someone in USA.
This was the sort of menu sold to the Ponsoldt family - in a very big way.
William Ponsoldt, now 74, had come to Mossack Fonseca with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, the firms staff
estimated in due diligence memos that also laid out how he had become so wealthy.
He has started off in the seventies purchasing run-down apartment buildings in New York, in order to refurbish
and sell them off, noted one memo from 2007, shortly after the firm had started to handle the familys investment
accounts.
Having done this for a while he spread out to various businesses and his CV is the typical profile of a serial
entrepreneur.
The memo went on to list nine businesses he had created, taken over or helped run, including Glas Aire Industries Group,
an automotive parts supplier; Zeus Energy Resources, a Texas oil-drilling company; Regency Affiliates, which owned a
Michigan rock mine; and Pegasus Ranch, one of the countrys largest Arabian-horse-breeding operations.
Few American clients, the records show, demanded and received as much attention as Mr. Ponsoldt and two of his
children, Tracey and Christopher, each of whom was assigned a secret email account and a code name - father,
daughter and son. Mossack Fonsecas V.I.P. service consisted of everything from securing lunch reservations at a
popular French bistro in Panama City to pressing the government to make an exception and grant Mr. Ponsoldt and his
wife Panamanian passports.
Over the years, tens of millions of dollars flowed into a series of shell companies - Escutcheon Investment, with its money
at the Banca Privada in the Pyrenees principality of Andorra; Probity Investments, with deposits at Andbanc Grup Agricol,
also in Andorra; Royal Pacific Investments, with deposits at Balboa Securities in Panama; and Valdano Investments Group,
with deposits at Berenberg Bank in Switzerland, among others, the bank records and other documents show.
An email from Christopher Ponsoldt, code-named son, to a Mossack Fonseca lawyer. Employees of the Panama law firm were named as officers
of shell companies created to conceal any links between the assets and the Ponsoldt family.
Mossack Fonseca employees were named as the companies officers, avoiding whenever possible any link to the Ponsoldt
family. The firm even asked a Hong Kong branch of Barclays, the international bank, to override its rules for proof of the so-
called beneficial owners of the accounts.
This is a very special client of ours, a Mossack Fonseca lawyer wrote, conceding that the firm had intentionally created
such a maze of companies so it leaves us in the position to legally argue that our client is NOT the owner of the
structure. It was not clear if the bank complied.
The most important part of this elaborate structure was an entity called the Edenstone Foundation.
Panama has long specialized in creating unusual foundations like Edenstone that are neither subject to Panamanian taxes
nor required to support charitable causes. They do, however, allow the investors who contribute their financing to shield
themselves from legal claims in the United States.

In secret meetings documented in the Panama Papers, Mossack Fonseca named the Ponsoldt family as the beneficiary,
through the foundation, of the money placed in bank accounts around the world.
Among the early requests: confidentially transfer $800,000 from father to son, meaning moving the money to yet
another offshore account - called LBFH of Panama - which Mossack Fonseca had set up on Christopher Ponsoldts behalf
with bank accounts in Andorra and Panama.
One motivation for Christopher Ponsoldt to stash money overseas in accounts not traceable to him: He owned a dirt
racetrack in Florida, and he was concerned racers may get hurt and might then try to sue him for damages, the law firm
notes on his case file said.
Please notify me when the money is deposited in American dollars, Christopher Ponsoldt wrote to the law firm a
few months after his fathers accounts had been set up and $800,000 was in the process of being transferred to
another offshore account Christopher Ponsoldt controlled via the firm.
I want to have U.S. dollars, Australian Dollars, Indian Reals and some kind of China index, to be determined.
Mossack Fonseca agreed to prepare a service agreement between two of the legal entities it managed for the family, to
make it look as if there were an actual expenditure of money for a business purpose.
After receiving the money, we will explain to them the nature of this transaction without giving details of your
name, the firm explained to William Ponsoldt, regarding the Caribbean bank through which the money was
moving to his son.
Please let us know if you agree with this and if you will instruct the relevant parties to execute the wire transfer.
Federal law generally limits such tax-free transfers between family members to $14,000 a year.
But for this transfer, described as a pre-inheritance distribution, the documents give no indication that any United States
gift taxes were paid, as would most likely have been required, said Jack Blum, a lawyer and expert in international tax
evasion who served for more than a decade as a consultant to the Internal Revenue Service.
This is one way in which people with a lot of money step away from being average, Mr. Blum said after reviewing
the documents.

Christopher Ponsoldt declined to comment. I am sorry, I cant help you, he said before hanging up.
Tracey Ponsoldt Powers, William Ponsoldts daughter, approached the firm in October 2008 with an urgent request for help
in secretly moving some of her familys money to Panama and then into gold coins. She feared political developments at
home.
I feel VERY unsettled with this election and how the media is censoring information and spinning the American
Public to vote Obama, she wrote to Mr. Owens at Mossack Fonseca.
It is so obvious to me, that they are setting us up with a Socialist - but most people cant see it happening before
their eyes! Its like propaganda that is brainwashing Americans to forget the Principles of Hard Work, Ingenuity,
Risk and Boundless Success!
Mr. Owens suggested shifting the money into a charity account, controlled by the firm on the familys behalf, in
increments of less than $100,000, so it would not be detected.
Tracey Ponsoldt Powers, code-named daughter, approached Mossack Fonseca in October 2008 because she was concerned about the potential
election of Barack Obama as president. Around then, William Ponsoldt had the firm move $100,000 to a Swiss account for his daughter.
Separately, that same month, William Ponsoldt moved $100,000 from a company Mossack Fonseca controlled on his
behalf into the name of his daughter. This was confirmed in an email from Mossack Fonseca to the code name daughter.
The USD 100.000 is deposited as call Money with high liquidity at Berenberg Bank Schweiz, Zrich, said the
email, which added: Your Father initiated this process as you know. We will treat you with the same esteem and
conditions and service as the family is used to.
The subsequent series of complicated transfers - money from the account would eventually be used by Mossack Fonseca
in 2013 at Ms. Powerss request to buy real estate - would be a challenge for American enforcement authorities, Mr. Blum
said.
Simply by constructing all this in such a complex way, they make it extremely hard for enforcement officials to
ever have resources to reconstruct what taxes should have been paid, he said. What this is all about is obscuring
the trail.
Ms. Powers did not respond to a series of calls and emails, and then declined to answer questions when reached on a
cellphone.
I have no idea what you are talking about, she said before hanging up.
Live This Potential Risk
Across the United States, Mossack Fonseca picked up clients who had similarly urgent and delicate demands.
For more than 30 years as the founder of Boston Capital Ventures, Harald Joachim von der Goltz has built a reputation as
a savvy investor in emerging companies.
What few know, however, is that over roughly that same span of time and with the help of Mossack Fonseca, Mr. von der
Goltz has also come to command a vast offshore empire: interconnected corporations, foundations and bank accounts with
about $70 million in assets, according to internal emails.
Related Document: Harald Joachim von Der Goltz and Mossack Fonseca
A lawyer for Mr. von der Goltz said the beneficial owner of all of the trusts and accounts is Mr. von der Goltzs 100-year-old
mother, who resides in Guatemala. One document also suggests that the tens of millions of dollars in the accounts
originally came from businesses operated by Mr. von der Goltzs father.
But numerous other documents prepared by Mossack Fonseca and signed by Mr. von der Goltz list him as the founder,
manager and first beneficiary of the foundation that controls most of the familys wealth. Mr. von der Goltz also put assets
from companies he helped operate into the accounts, documents show.
Most important, Mossack Fonseca registered Mr. von der Goltz as a resident of Guatemala, which tax experts said could
help him protect the family money from certain United States tax obligations.
MF Trust has registered Harald Joachim von der Goltz as a client of Guatemala. However, we know he lives in
Miami; and makes his residence for 5 months of the year in Boston, Mr. Owens, the Mossack Fonseca
partner, wrote in an email in 2009 to top executives at the firm.
The firm recognized that claiming the Guatemala residency represented a risk, but considered it a risk worth taking, given
Mr. von der Goltzs importance to the firm.
My suggestion: Leave everything as it is with von der Goltz, i.e. stay and live this potential risk, we might prefer to
send money orders and cashiers checks, which have a slightly lower risk than bank transfers. Its all well done,
customer understands well and accepts it as is, Mr. Owens wrote.
I agree with your suggestion on my part, responded Ramn Fonseca, one of the firms founders.
Ramn Fonseca, one of the firms founders, in April in his office in Panama City. Documents show he agreed with a suggestion to accept a clients
residency in Guatemala despite the risk and the knowledge that the client lived in the United States.
Money was frequently transferred from several of the offshore accounts to accounts in the United States to fund
investments at Mr. von der Goltzs firm, the documents show. A foundation paid for his daughters education, as well as his
granddaughters high school tuition.
In a 2008 email, Mr. von der Goltzs Boston-based accountant asked executives at Mossack Fonseca to wire money from
Mr. von der Goltzs mother, Erika.
Erika would like to make a gift to Tica of $100,000 for his birthday. She hadnt given him anything, the email said,
providing an account for Mr. von der Goltz at Esprito Santo Bank in Miami.
Ohh, yes, I know ERIKA wants it to be done quickly, we will proceed, Mr. Owens responded before confirming
that the money should be moved as requested.
Legal experts consulted by The Times said it was difficult to determine definitively if the arrangements related to Mr. von
der Goltz violated United States laws. But they said such moves were commonly used by investors seeking to hide their
assets and evade federal taxes.
There is reason to question if she was really directing that shift of money, Mr. Blum said, referring to Mr. von der
Goltzs mother.
In a statement, Mr. von der Goltz said the companies were established for legal purposes, and that both he and
the companies were compliant with United States tax and reporting requirements.
There has never been any illegal activity associated with these companies, the statement said.
Other case files examined by The Times show how Mossack Fonseca may have turned a blind eye in the vetting process
while helping Kjell Gunnar Finstad, a Texas resident, set up an oil company offshore in 2013.
Mossack Fonseca has long maintained that it will not work for individuals with criminal records or whose conduct raises
red flags during its due-diligence process. But the firm somehow either missed or overlooked Mr. Finstads past when it
conducted a background search of potential directors for the new offshore oil company, OK Terra Energy, which was run
out of Houston but registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Three years earlier, Mr. Finstad, the companys controlling partner and lead investor, had been convicted in Norway for
various breaches of securities and accounting laws involving a company called Norex Group. The case was major news in
Norway.
The records examined by The Times show that Mossack Fonseca collected a copy of Mr. Finstads passport, and
conducted a basic internet search and a cursory background check. But there is no mention of the fraud case, and no
discussion of whether to proceed with setting up the new company, in light of Mr. Finstads involvement.
Reached at his office in Texas and asked about the Panama Papers, Mr. Finstad said only, I dont want to talk about that.
For another client, Mossack Fonseca offered a special service for a premium price.
Marianna Olszewski, the New York City-based author of Live It, Love It, Earn It: A Womans Guide to Financial Freedom,
wanted to shift $1 million held by HSBC in Guernsey to a new overseas account. The catch? She did not want her name to
appear anywhere near the transaction.
Mr. Owens, the Mossack Fonseca lawyer, again offered a solution. Mossack Fonseca would locate what he called
a natural person nominee in a tax-convenient jurisdiction to stand in for Ms. Olszewski as the owner of the account.
The Natural Person Trustee is a service which is very sensitive, Mr. Owens wrote.
We need to hire the Natural Person Nominee, pay him, make him sign lots of documents to cover us, make him
sign resignations, make him get some proofs evidencing that he has the economic capacity to place such amount
of moneys, letters of reference, proof of domicile, etc., etc.
The process, he suggested, would cost her at least $17,500.
Ms. Olszewski approved the maneuver - only to see the firm, at one point, accidentally disclose her name to the banks
involved.
Ramses, Please call me ASAP!! This is important!!!! she wrote to Mr. Owens.
HSBC said someone said marianna olszewski is the principal / beneficary! Who has done this!! I need you to call
me immediately and tell them hsbc that was a mistake!!!!!!!!!! This is not good and I asked you NOT to do this! this
is why we have this structure.
Mr. Owens sought to calm her down, saying that Mossack Fonseca could tell the bank that the natural person nominee
actually controlled the account. This can be solved, he wrote.
Ramss Owens, then a lawyer with Mossack Fonseca, explained the concept of a natural person trustee to Marianna Olszewski in an email.
Ms. Olszewski sent a panicky email to Mr. Owens upon discovering that her name had been disclosed to a bank involved in a transfer of her
assets.
Mr. Owens did not tell his client the identity of the natural person nominee, saying simply;
We would appoint a UK citizen residing in Panama since 50 years ago, engineer, entrepreneur, as they needed
someone who would be expected to have such a large amount of money available to transfer.
Twelve days later, Mr. Owens sent HSBC a copy of a passport for a man named Edmund James Ward.
Kindly please find hereto attached the due diligence documents of the beneficial owner, said the email sent to
HSBC, noting that the documents duly correct.
The $1 million from Ms. Olszewski was then transferred to the new accounts, with an assurance that she need not worry.
If for any reason something happens, please also bear in mind that Mossfon is covered by insurance policies for
US$10 Million (per event), Mr. Owens wrote. We have never used our insurance policy to cover a fraud, or
something like this.
The use of a stand-in to hide the true ownership of an account is one of the remaining illegal ploys favored by Americans
today as international banks, under pressure from the United States, demand proof of account ownership, said Jeffrey
Neiman, a former federal prosecutor from Miami who specialized in criminal tax offenses, adding that he could not
comment directly on this case. The fact that a law firm was willing to do this legitimizes the process for their clients, he
said.
A Firms Inner Doubts
Many of the client files - like those for Mr. Weill, the banker; Mr. Soriano, the ballplayer; and Mr. Akridge, the developer -
contain little information on the purpose of the offshore accounts, or how they were used after they were set up, making it
impossible, based on the records available, to assess whether they were used legitimately.
But the experts who reviewed some of the documents related to the Ponsoldts, Mr. von der Goltz and Ms. Olszewski said
that the firm itself seemed to realize it was taking risks.
They were not always sure themselves which side of the line they were on at any given moment, said Ross S.
Delston, a former federal banking regulator who now specializes in combating money-laundering efforts.
It is apparent that members of the firm were aware they were treading very close to the line.
In fact, the files contain instances, beginning before the Panama Papers came to light, of Mossack Fonseca lawyers
second-guessing their actions. (In recent weeks, the firm has shut down many of its operations in Nevada, as well as
British locations in Jersey and the Isle of Man, and is closing the asset-management division that served many of its United
States clients.)
In 2013, Mossack Fonseca advised Ms. Olszewski to seek outside counsel and consider reporting herself to the I.R.S.,
warning of possible severe repercussions if she did not. The warning came in the wake of a Justice Department
investigation of the role that certain Swiss banks had played in helping United States citizens evade federal taxes.
Records show that Mossack Fonseca had been paid at least $102,000 over nine years to help Ms. Olszewski handle
various transactions.
Ms. Olszewski took the firms advice, and belatedly disclosed her accounts to the I.R.S., the documents show. And by
2014, she asked Mossack Fonseca to shut down her accounts and offshore entities, which collectively held at least $1.7
million.
Im in complete compliance with all my U.S. tax and reporting requirements, Ms. Olszewski said in an emailed
statement when The Times asked about the accounts.
In a second statement, she said she had relied on the advice of legal counsel to establish a trust for her family
while living abroad. I am confident that I have acted properly, she added, and any insinuation otherwise is false.
Reached by telephone in late May, Mr. Owens, who is no longer with the law firm, said only, Regretfully, I cannot
speak about individual clients or my time at Mossack Fonseca.
Mossack Fonseca sent a series of similar and increasingly dire warnings to the Ponsoldts in 2013 and 2014, telling them
that they had to provide a Swiss bank with documentation that they had paid all required United States taxes - or face
possible investigation.
Neither your ex Trustees nor us would like to be involved into any measure the US Department of Justice might
try to enforce, the firm wrote. In this regard, again we strongly urge you to take the necessary steps to avoid any
negative consequences for you as well as us.
The records examined by The Times give no indication whether the Ponsoldts complied, and family members would not
say when asked.
I dont know what you are talking about, Christopher Ponsoldt said in a second brief conversation before he again
hung up.

Former Morgan Stanley Chief Asia Economist: "Don't Listen To The Ruling Elite, The
World Economy Is In Real Trouble"
June 6 2016 | From: ZeroHedge
Andy Xie says the world's elite that are attending the G7, G20, Davos and other wasteful meetings
are wrong to try to pin the blame for the turmoil on peoples psychology; all signs point to a
prolonged period of global stagnation and instability.
Authored by Andy Xie, the former Morgan Stanley chief Asia-Pacific economist, originally posted Op-Ed at The
South China Morning Post.
Andy Xie says the world's elite that are attending the G7, G20, Davos and other wasteful meetings are wrong to try to pin
the blame for the turmoil on peoples psychology; all signs point to a prolonged period of global stagnation and
instability.
Before the current G7 meetings waste of time, The G20 working group meeting in Shanghai didnt come up with any
constructive proposals for reviving the global economy and, instead, complained that the recent market turmoil didnt reflect
the underlying fundamentals of the global economy.
The oil price has declined by 70 per cent since June 2014, while the Brazilian real has halved, and the Russian rouble is
down by 60 per cent. The global economy is on the cusp of another recession, and these important people blamed it
all on some sort of psychological problem of the people.
Over the past two decades, the global economy has been blessed with the entry and participation of 800 million hard-
working Chinese, plus the information revolution. The pie should have increased enough in size to make most people
happier. Yet, the opposite has happened.
The world has gone from one crisis to another. People are complaining everywhere. This is due to mismanagement
by the very people who attend the G20 meetings, the Davos boondoggle, and so many other global meetings that
waste taxpayers money and put inept leaders in the limelight.
One major complaint that people have is that the system is rigged that is, the rising income concentration is not due to free
market competition, but a rigged system that favours the politically powerful.
This is largely true. The new billionaires over the past two decades have come mostly from finance and property. Few made
it the way Steve Jobs or Bill Gates did, creating something that makes people more productive.
The most important factor in the rigged system is monetary policy being used to pump up financial markets in the
name of stimulating growth for peoples benefit.
This is essentially the trickle-down wealth effect, that is, making some people in the financial food chain rich while the
spillover gives people a few crumbs.
Yet, instead of crumbs, the wealth effect has pumped up property prices in Manhattan, London and Hong Kong, as well as
the price of modern art. Essentially, the wealth effect has stayed within the small circle of the wealthy. And these people
show up at Davos to congratulate policymakers on their successes.
Wasting resources is an equally important factor in making the global economy weak and prone to crisis. After the
2008 financial crisis, the US government and Federal Reserve spent trillions of dollars to bail out the people who created the
crisis. Instead of facing bankruptcy and jail, these people have become richer than ever. Predictably, they have used their
resources to rig the system further.
After 2008, when Beijing launched a massive investment push, the global ruling elite all praised China for saving the global
economy. China has increased credit by over US$20 trillion to finance the construction of factories and homes.
However, investment does not guarantee final demand.
The process of building up a factory creates demand. But, when it is completed, it needs to sell its goods to someone. What
China did was build even more factories to keep this factory occupied. This Ponzi scheme couldnt last long. We are just
seeing the beginning of its devastating consequences.
Chinas overinvestment has pumped up commodity prices, which has led to another Ponzi scheme. As major central
banks cut interest rates to zero, credit demand didnt respond in general, as businesses didnt see growing demand from
people who were suffering income erosion.
The commodity boom justified credit demand for the time being. Trillions of dollars were poured into the energy sector, and
trillions more into other commodity industries. Businesses in emerging economies that were pumped up by rising commodity
prices borrowed US$9 trillion.
This mountain of debt is floating on a commodity Ponzi scheme that is floating on Chinas investment Ponzi
scheme. Its bursting is just the beginning. Its impact on the global financial system could be bigger than the 2008
financial crisis.
In addition to the bursting of the global commodity bubble, Chinas overcapacity bubble will kill global capital
expenditure for many years to come. Even though Chinese investment isnt growing like before, investment at half of
gross domestic product is still adding overcapacity by over US$1 trillion per year the problem is getting bigger.
All indications are that China wants to export the overcapacity. And why not? China overinvested to bail out the
global economy. It shouldnt pay the whole price for the mistake.
Chinas strategy would lead to de-industrialisation in most of the world, in particular middle-income emerging
economies. Weak capital expenditure would lead to weak employment and labour income. The resulting bankruptcies may
further weaken the global credit system.
The global economy is facing years of stagnation, deflation and financial crises. The current economic managers will
resort to the same tricks of pumping up the financial markets with liquidity, to no avail. In the meantime, political instability
will spread around the world. It will take a long time for the right leaders to emerge.
Initially, populists will win. Their policies, unfortunately, will focus on protectionism and rolling back the World Trade
Organisation system.
That will lead to further economic turmoil in the global economy. Protectionism may suddenly jump-start inflation
that will quickly become hyperinflation, which would certainly lead to violent revolutions.
The world is on the cusp of a prolonged period of stagnation and instability. Our ruling elite is blaming it on people
seeing things. Their strategy is to change peoples psychology. Unfortunately for them, the world is catching fire
and that fire will eventually reach their Davos chalets.
Wikileaks Asks If This Is The "Smoking Gun" Email That Will Bring Down Hillary + The
Full List Of 92 Paychecks Hillary Collected From Wall Street
June 4 2016 | From: ZeroHedge / NewPatriotsBlog
All along Hillary Clinton has pled that when it comes to her violation of Federal regulations, she
was at worst naive, hardly malicious and - as of recently - merely doing what each of her state
department predecessors has done.
And she has been very careful to make it clear that she never purposefully and intentionally "stripped"
confidentialdata in order to send it through her unsecured server as such an act would imply not only a breach of
email retention policy, but a willful abuse of confidential documents.
Well, moments ago Wikileaks unveiled what it believes may be the FBI's "smoking gun" in its case against Hillary. In a
tweet, Wikileaks highlights one specific email and asks "Is this email the FBI's star exhibit against Hillary Clinton
("H")? "
The email in question (link)

The full email chain is below (link):
The Full List Of 92 Paychecks Hillary Collected From Wall Street

What was her advice to Deutche Bank, Cisco and the Council of Insurance Agents? What did she tell eBay? Or the
American Camping Association and why on earth would the American Camping Association pay $260,000 to hear from
Hillary?
Has she ever been camping? We may never know because she refuses to tell us.

Not Just Surveillance: 3 Current Phenomena Exposing 1984 As An Instruction Manual
For The State
June 3 2016 | From: TheFreeThoughtProject
Assessing current conditions in the United States, it would be next to impossible not to grasp
innumerable parallels to George Orwells dystopic portent, 1984.
Though other fictional dystopias could similarly elicit comparisons to the dark turn taken by American empire,
aspects of 1984s creepy authoritarian nightmare ring all-too-true.
And Big Brother-like surveillance - though undoubtedly relevant - imparts only the most obvious, and therefore least
pertinent, connection on the list.
War Is Peace
Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia, Orwell wrote of two of the three
remaining nation-states on the planet. Though it analogizes Russias mercurial relationship with Nazi Germany, the same
volatility aptly fits U.S. involvement in the Middle East - where, though propaganda would purport a decisive enemy, the truth
remains far murkier.
A constant state of undeclared but active war rules foreign policy - driven almost exclusively by the war machines
profiteering from plundering of foreign lands natural resources.
Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the multi-faceted defense industry have experienced exponential profits since perpetual war
became the de facto basis of foreign policy - and Big Banks share in the reward. But all of this war requires the U.S.
government maintain support from the public - and what better way to win them over than appeal to fear of the Other?
When John Brady Kiesling, a career diplomat, tendered his letter of resignation to Secretary of State Colin Powell, he
piercingly criticized the warped factors driving both American domestic and foreign policy surrounding the needless war in
Iraq - with barbs unfortunately equally applicable today:
We spread disproportionate terror and confusion in the public mind, arbitrarily linking the unrelated problems of terrorism
and Iraq. The result, and perhaps the motive, is to justify a vast misallocation of shrinking public wealth to the military and to
weaken the safeguards that protect American citizens from the heavy hand of government. September 11 did not do as
much damage to the fabric of American society as we seem determined to [do] to ourselves []
Has oderint dum metuant [Let them hate so long as they fear] really become our motto?
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, it became immediately evident American government had its jackpot ticket for war
in perpetuity - the only necessary condition being wool sufficiently ambiguous to cover the publics eyes in fear.
Since that time, under the guise of national security, Big Brother-like domestic surveillance has become so thoroughly
entrenched in our lives as to be virtually ignored by the general populace.
As a necessary and insidious outgrowth of massive spying, the government attempts to cultivate fearful citizen-spies, by
employing the not-at-all ominous If You See Something, Say Something catchphrase-titled program. Of course, the
government arm responsible for this and other programs - the overarching Department of Homeland Security - seems ripped
directly from the pages of 1984.
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of
solidity to pure wind,Orwell noted in his 1946 essay, Politics and the English Language.
This observation aptly summarizes U.S. war propaganda in its entirety - with a constant government-backed corporate media
blitz surrounding the war on terror shaping public perception of what constitutes terrorism, and who, a terrorist.
Betting on Americans cognitive dissonance, historical amnesia, and tacit acceptance of spoon-fed, baseless patriotism, the
government doesnt often find barriers to inculcating a blanket support for obtuse military missions. War so saturates every
aspect of life, when the Pentagon announced last week forces had already been on the ground in Yemen for two weeks, the
public instead trained its focus to the latest installation of Captain America.
And nevermind the detail that ground support of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in Yemen would be allocated for
fighting al-Qaeda - a different faction of the same group the U.S. currently employs as somehow less dangerous terrorists to
assist deposing Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
Moderate rebels is thus the Newspeak term for terrorists the American empire finds usable - making terrorist and terrorism
utterly conditional terms.
Of course, the government failed to explain how a war on the concept of terrorism should play out if that terrorism depends
on circumstance - or, more accurately, whim - but once instituted, paranoia surrounding the word opened the floodgates for
battling terrorism inside the United States.
Exactly as Orwell cautioned in 1984 - and precisely as Kieslings foreboding resignation letter predicted it would.
Freedom Is Slavery
How does a government persuade its citizens their enslavement would be desirable and beneficial? Frame it as necessary
protection against any threat to their fundamental security - and implement more contentious aspects of said servitude in
palatable microsteps.
Fear of terrorism - or, more directly, xenophobia - constitutes

sufficient reason for many to cast off basic human rights
through increasingly invasive laws and governance.
Legislation, however, isnt by far the sole vehicle available to

the government.
In a culture so utterly imbued in paranoia, neighbors arent only

willing to spy on neighbors - or complete strangers, to that end -
theyre willing to alert law enforcement should they observe
Something.
One perfect example of the absurdity of the If You See

Something, Say Something citizen spy program occurred this
week when a woman, suspicious of cryptic notes penned by the
person seated next to her on an American Airlines
flight, decided to Say Something.
The flight was delayed for over two hours, the FBI was called,
and an egregious commentary on paranoia and xenophobic
profiling in the U.S. became one of an unfortunate many for the
history books.
This unbelievably unaware woman told on acclaimed University

of Pennsylvania economics professor, Guido Menzio - who had
been scribbling a complex math formula in a notebook.
Menzio posted his experience on Facebook, describing his

encounter with the FBI after being briefly pulled from the plane,
writing:
They ask me about my neighbor. I tell them I noticed nothing strange. They tell me she thought I was a terrorist
because I was writing strange things on a piece of paper. I laugh. I bring them back to the plane. I show them my
math.
Menzio, to the unnamed woman, was guilty of terrorism because his Italian ancestry gifted him with darker complexion and
hair, and because her lack of education and state conditioning caused her to see dark terrorist plots in mathematical
formulae - possibly, and disturbingly, because she mistook it for Arabic.
Restrictions on travel arent limited to fearful passengers, either, as the notoriously invasive Transportation Security
Administration has made air travel an almost unbearably onerous task. A recent report predicts grueling airport delays due to
the combination of a 10 percent reduction in TSA staff and a 15 percent increase in the number of expected travelers.
Though a PreCheck program is offered by the TSA, people simply arent signing on - likely because theyre forced to submit
to an even more invasive background check. And it isnt as if the TSA has a stunning success rate in thwarting terror attacks,
either - though it does have a successful track record for restricting freedom of travel.
While the government would like you to believe TSA safety measures protect the country from terrorism, evidence lies with a
far more laughable reality - like the time a CNN journalist once had her container of pimento cheese confiscated by agents.
Another report indicated the underpaid and understaffed TSA is largely incompetent. Congressman Stephen Lynch
explained;
We had folks - this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other
weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate.
Essentially, terrorist paranoia is working exactly per the Dept. of Homeland Securitys design - otherwise ordinary Americans
are now guilty, simply by being present. Guilty of being non-white. Guilty of speaking a language other than English. Guilty of
math. Guilty of possession of cheese spread.
But most of all, guilty under the system that would rather pit neighbor against neighbor - lest those neighbors realize they
have more in common with one another than with the powers claiming to have their security in mind - because that
realization might bring anger, dissent, and potentially action to topple those powers-that-be.
And entirely different dystopic restrictions on travel - harkening almost exactly to the 1930s Nazi Germany that so influenced
Orwell - can be found in police checkpoints.
Of dubious legality, law enforcement checkpoints for
everything from drunk driving to heroin - to seatbelts - have
become commonplace around the U.S.
In the name of safety, police bottleneck traffic, test sobriety,

search cars, write revenue-generating tickets, and even
arrest those found guilty or who try to avoid the trap.
And this lack of the ability to travel freely- the basic right to
mobility without restriction - is only one highly specific
example of coercion as the new norm.
Entire books could be justifiably penned to discuss

the ridiculousness of licensing requirements - summarized
briefly as the state taking a right away from you in order to
give it back to you at an often red-tape-heavy price.
In the dystopic new millennium, the State requires children

to seek permitting for such traditional activities as shoveling
snow or setting up their own lemonade stands - and
alarmingly have been shut down for failing to do so.
You dont even have to be accused, much less charged,

with a crime to have your own property and cash seized - or
more accurately, stolen - by the State, which it then may
use for whatever shady purpose it chooses.
This unchecked policing-for-profit scheme has created a

freakishly telling figure, as described by The Free Thought
Project, law enforcement in America has stolen
$600,000,000 more from Americans than actual criminal
burglars.
Freedom to simply live ones life, without harming another, has been co-opted by a State hell bent on maintaining slavish
control of its people.
Ignorance Is Strength
Considering at least one of the aforementioned examples would be sufficiently blood-boiling to even those who consider
themselves law-abiding or patriotic, the State also has in place multiple strategies to thwart the dissemination of accurate,
truthful information - thus preemptively quashing dissent.
State indoctrination begins early with compulsory schooling beating the victors history into impressionable, young minds.
William Blum, journalist, author, and CIA and U.S. foreign policy critic, describes in his book, Americas Deadliest Export:
Democracy - The Truth About US Foreign Policy and Everything Else, how indoctrination has so insidiously usurped
education as to be imperceptible to the unaware [emphasis added]:
"American leaders have convinced a majority of the American people of the benevolence of their governments
foreign policy. To have persuaded Americans of this, as well as a multitude of other people throughout the
world - in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary - must surely rank as one of the most
outstanding feats of propaganda and indoctrination in all of history []
It is not at all uncommon to grow to adulthood in the United States, even graduate from university, and not be
seriously exposed to opinions significantly contrary to these prevailing myths, and know remarkably little about the
exceptionally harmful foreign policy of the government.
Its one thing for historical myths to rise in the absence of a written history of a particular period, such as our beliefs
concerning the Neanderthals; but much odder is the rise of such myths in the face of a plethora of historical
documents, testimony, films and books.
Indoctrination stands as perhaps the most powerful tool a State could wield without imposing actual, physical violence.
Patriotism often acts as a means of self-policing - whereby a populace relentlessly criticizes any segment not wholly on
board with devotion to that State.
Orwell also keenly understood this, as is clear in 1984s protagonist, Winston Smiths description of the youngest citizens of
Ingsoc (an abbreviation for English Socialism - the governmental ideology firmly entrenched in that fictional time period).
Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the
Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency
whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party.
On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners,
the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother - it was all a sort of
glorious game to them.
When the State manages to hoodwink millions of people, facilitating an imperialist empire isnt a cumbersome task. Blum
analogizes the American people to the children of a Mafia boss who do not know what their father does for a living, and
dont want to know, but then wonder why someone just threw a firebomb through the living room window.
Endlessly frustrating those who have taken advantage of self-education in the age of information, arguments proffered by
government propaganda - such as waging wars to bring about peace, or that the U.S. aggressively and violently invades
other countries for democracy and freedom - take root with no basis in reality.
Belief other nations will steal our (already nonexistent) Democracy if we dont invade them first insidiously infiltrates even
learned segments of the population.
Though such inexplicable reasoning readily evidences justifications necessary for popular support when the U.S.
spontaneously violates international law concerning war, the people still believe the lie - in great part, thanks to corporate
medias incessant confirmation of American exceptionalism.
Ignorance of the breadth of American imperialism - the reality of its plundering resources around the planet, its actions as an
enforcement arm of the plutocratic corporatocracy, and the violence it employs on innocent civilians wherever it chooses -
remain unknown to the majority in this country.
With essentially all information available a click away, this ignorance amounts to little more than a flat denial of reality. Saying
my government would never do that might be one thing, but refusing to investigate whether or not the statement holds
weight is essentially admitting the government takes precedence over truth.
Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?" Orwell wrote in the dystopic classic.
It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and
treachery and torment, a world of trampling and of being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more
merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain."
But the American indoctrination of ignorance most chillingly corresponds with a particular passage from 1984 - one marking
the self-imposed homogeneity of a people scrambling over one another to exemplify patriotism.
The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering - a world of steel and concrete, of
monstrous machines and terrifying weapons - a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity,
all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing,
persecuting - three hundred million people all with the same face.
Much of what Orwell proffered as dystopic fiction has since manifested - perhaps not so much, as is popularly believed,
because the government took the novel as an instruction manual. But because 1984s dire warning seems so inconceivable,
perhaps most people have yet to realize its darker portents have already come to pass.
Protagonist Winston Smith ultimately succumbs to the lure of Big Brother and the State - but it remains up for debate whether
the authoritarian nightmare will take as firm a chokehold on the United States.
To resist such a reality is the work of a true protagonist - not through violence or destruction, but through seeking a lesser
ignorance. The lynchpin to Orwells dystopia, and to the current one, is the perception of ignorance as strength. War is most
certainly not Peace to a well-informed populace, nor is Freedom Slavery.
It is up to us to plant the seeds of knowledge which will inevitably grow into that well-informed populace who will then see
the reality of the horrid path weve since embarked. Tis the nature of humanity to err, but weve managed to be resilient
nonetheless - sometimes the hardest path is the only way there.
Keynes Must Die

June 2 2016 | From: Mises
In 2012, Barack Obama warned that the United States would fall into a depression if Ron Pauls plan
to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget were enacted.
Wait, I beg your pardon. It wasnt Obama who warned that budget cuts would lead to a depression.
It was Mitt Romney. Romney went on to become the nominee of the self-described free-market party.
An ideological rout is complete when both sides of respectable opinion take its basic ideas for granted. Thats how complete
the Keynesian victory has been.
In fact, Keynesianism had swept the boards a decade before Romney was even born.
The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, the seminal treatise by John Maynard Keynes, appeared during the
Great Depression, a time when a great many people were beginning to doubt the merits and resilience of capitalism.
It was a work of economic theory, but its boosters insisted that it also offered practical answers to urgent, contemporary
questions like: how had the Depression occurred, and why was it lasting so long?
The answer to both questions, according to Keynes and his followers, was the same: not enough government intervention.
Now as Murray N. Rothbard showed in his 1963 book Americas Great Depression, and as Lionel Robbins and others had
written at the time, the Depression had certainly not been caused by too little government intervention. It was caused by the
worlds government-privileged central banks, and it was prolonged by the various quack remedies that governments kept
trotting out.
But that wasnt a thesis governments were eager to hear. Government officials were rather more attracted to the message
Keynes was sending them:
The free market can lead to depressions, and prosperity requires more government spending and intervention.
Lets say a brief word about the book that launched this ideological revolution. If I may put it kindly, the General Theory was
not the kind of text one might expect to sweep the boards.
Paul Samuelson, who went on to become one of the most notable American popularizers of Keynesianism, admitted in a
candid moment that when he first read the book, he did not at all understand what it was about. I think I am giving away no
secrets, he went on, when I solemnly aver - upon the basis of vivid personal recollection - that no one else in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, really knew what it was all about for some twelve to eighteen months after publication.
The General Theory, he said;
"Is a badly written book, poorly organized; any layman who, beguiled by the authors previous reputation bought
the book, was cheated of his five shillings. It is not well suited for classroom use.
It is arrogant, bad-tempered, polemical, and not overly generous in its acknowledgments. It abounds in mares
nests and confusions. In short, it is a work of genius."
Murray N. Rothbard, who after the death of Ludwig von Mises was considered the dean of the Austrian school of economics,
wrote several major economic critiques of Keynes, along with a lengthy and revealing biographical essay about the man.
The first of these critiques came in the form of an essay written when Murray was just 21 years old: Spotlight on Keynesian
Economics. The second appeared in his 1962 treatise Man, Economy and State,and the third as a chapter in his book For a
New Liberty.
Murray minced no words, referring to Keynesianism as:
"The most successful and pernicious hoax in the history of economic thought.
All of the Keynesian thinking, he added, is a tissue of distortions, fallacies, and drastically unrealistic
assumptions.
Beyond the problems with the Keynesian system were the unfortunate traits of Keynes himself. I will let Murray describe
them to you:
"The first was his overweening egotism, which assured him that he could handle all intellectual problems quickly
and accurately and led him to scorn any general principles that might curb his unbridled ego. The second was his
strong sense that he was born into, and destined to be a leader of, Great Britains ruling elite...
The third element was his deep hatred and contempt for the values and virtues of the bourgeoisie, for conventional
morality, for savings and thrift, and for the basic institutions of family life."
While a student at Cambridge University, Keynes belonged to an exclusive and secretive group called the Apostles. This
membership fed his egotism and his contempt for others. He wrote in a private letter:
"Is it monomania - this colossal moral superiority that we feel? I get the feeling that most of the rest [of the world
outside the Apostles] never see anything at all - too stupid or too wicked.
As a young man, Keynes and his friends became what he himself described as immoralists. In a 1938 paper called My
Early Beliefs, he wrote:
"We entirely repudiated a personal liability on us to obey general rules. We claimed the right to judge every
individual case on its merits, and the wisdom to do so successfully.
This was a very important part of our faith, violently and aggressively held, and for the outer world it was our most
obvious and dangerous characteristic. We repudiated entirely customary morals, conventions and traditional
wisdom. We were, that is to say, in the strict sense of the term, immoralists."
Keynes was 55 years old when he delivered that paper. And even at that advanced stage of his life he could affirm that
immoralism is:
"Still my religion under the surface I remain and always will remain an immoralist.
In economics, Keynes exhibited the same kind of approach he had taken toward philosophy and life in general. I am afraid
of principle, he told a parliamentary committee in 1930. That, of course, is the attitude of anyone who craves influence and
the exercise of power; principle would only get in the way of these things.
Thus, Keynes supported free trade, then turned on a dime in 1931 and became a protectionist, then during World War II
favored free trade again. As Murray puts it, Never did any soul-searching or even hesitation hobble his lightning-fast
changes.
The General Theory broke down the worlds population into several groups, each with its own characteristics. Here Keynes
was able to vent his lifelong hatreds.
First, there was the great mass of consumers, dumb and robotic, whose consumption decisions were fixed and determined
by outside forces, such that Keynes could reduce them to a consumption function.
Then there was a subset of consumers, the bourgeois savers, whom Keynes especially despised. In the past, such people
had been praised for their thrift, which made possible the investment that raised living standards.
But the Keynesian system severed the link between savings and investment, claiming that the two had nothing to do with
each other. Savings were, in fact, a drag on the system, Keynes said, and could generate recessions and depressions.
Thus, did Keynes dethrone the bourgeoisie and their
traditional claim to moral respectability. Thrift was
foolishness, not wisdom.
The third group was the investors. Here Keynes was

somewhat more favorable. The activities of these people
could not be reduced to a mathematical function.
They were dynamic and free. Unfortunately, they were also

given to wild, irrational swings in behavior and outlook.
These irrational swings set the economy on a roller coaster.
And now we arrive at a fourth and final group. This group is

supremely rational, economically knowledgeable, and
indispensable to economic stability.
This group can override the foolish decisions of the others

and keep the economy from falling into depressions or
inflationary excess.
You probably wont be shocked to learn that the far-seeing

wizards who comprise Keyness fourth group are
government officials.
To understand exactly what Keynes expected government

officials to do, lets say a brief word about the economic
system Keynes developed in the General Theory.
His primary claim is that the market economy is given to a

chronic state of underemployment of resources.
If it is not to descend into and remain mired in depression, it
requires the wise supervision and interventions of the
political class.
Again, we may safely reject the possibility that the political classes of the Western world embraced Keynesianism because
politicians had made a profound study of the works of Keynes. To the contrary, Keynesianism appealed to two overriding
motivations of government officials: their need to appear indispensable, and their urge to wield power.
Keynesianism dangled these ideas before the political class, who in turn responded like salivating dogs. There wasnt
anything more romantic or dignified to it than that, I am sorry to report.
By the early 1970s, however, Keynesian economics had suffered a devastating blow. Or, to adopt Murrays more colorful
phrase, it had become dead from the neck up.
Keynesianism could not account for the stagflation, or inflationary recession, that the US experienced in the 70s.
It was supposed to be the role of the Keynesian planners to
steer the economy in such a way as to avoid the twin
threats of an overheating, inflationary economy and an
underperforming, depressed economy.
During a boom, Keynesian planners were to sop up excess

purchasing power by raising taxes and taking spending out
of the economy.
During a depression, Keynesians were to lower taxes and

increase government spending in order to inject
spending into the economy.
But in an inflationary recession, this entire approach had to

be thrown out.
The inflationary part meant spending had to be reduced, but

the recession part meant spending had to be increased.
How, Murray asked, could the Keynesian planners do both

at once?
They couldnt, of course, which is why Keynesianism began

to wane in the 1970s, though it has made an unwelcome
comeback since the 2008 financial crisis.
Murray had dismantled the Keynesian system on a more

fundamental level in Man, Economy, and State.
He showed that the relationships between large economic aggregates that Keynesians posited, and which were essential to
their system, did not hold after all. And he exploded the major concepts employed in the Keynesian analysis: the
consumption function, the multiplier, and the accelerator, for starters.
Now, why does any of this matter today?
The errors of Keynes have empowered sociopathic political classes all over the world and deprived the world of the
economic progress we would otherwise have enjoyed.
Japan is a great example of Keynesian devastation: the Nikkei 225, which hit 38,500 in 1990, has never managed to reach
even half that level since. A quarter century ago the index of industrial production in Japan was at 96.8; after 25 years of
aggressive Keynesian policy that gave Japan the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world, the index of industrial production is
still 96.8.
The United States, meanwhile, has had sixteen years of fiscal stimulus or preposterously low-interest rates, all of which
Keynesians have cheered. The result? Two million fewer breadwinner jobs than when Bill Clinton left office.
No amount of stimulus ever seems to be quite enough. And when the stimulus fails, the blinkered Keynesian establishment
can only think to double down, never to question the policy itself.
"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things
for the greatest good of everyone.
- John Maynard Keynes
But there is an alternative, and its the one Murray N. Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises championed: the Austrian school of
economics and its analysis of the pure market economy.
Against the entire edifice of establishment opinion, the Mises Institute stands as a rebuke. To the dissidents, to the
intellectually curious, to those inclined to be skeptical of so-called experts who have brought us nothing but ruin, the Mises
Institute has been a beacon.
We have trained an entire generation of Austrian scholars, journalists, and financial professionals. We put in the hard work
so that when a catastrophe like the 2008 crisis occurred, an Austrian response was ready.
But with your help, we can do so much more. The Keynesians are pretending they have everything under control, but we
know thats a fantasy.
An even greater opportunity than 2008 awaits us, and we want to help guide public opinion and train a cadre of bright young
scholars for that day. With your help, we can, at last, awaken from the Keynesian nightmare.
As the Korean translator of an Austrian text put it;
"Keynes must die so the economy may live.
With your help, we can hasten that glorious day.
Saudi Press: The United States Blew Up World Trade Center To Create War On Terror
May 25 2016 | From: Breitbart
This is happening in real time. Last week the US Senate voted to allow the Saudi's to be sued for
9/11. Now we have Saudia Arabia coming out and saying the US alone created 9/11. Cabal
infighting escalating?
The Saudi press is still furious over the U.S. Senates unanimous vote approving a bill that allows the families of
9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia. This time, the London-based Al-Hayat daily has claimed that the U.S. planned the
attacks on the World Trade Center in order to create a global war on terror.
Related: Hyping of Saudi role in 9/11 a diversionary tactic by U.S. and Israel
The article, written by Saudi legal expert Katib al-Shammari and translated by MEMRI, claims that American threats to
expose documents that prove Saudi involvement in the attacks are part of a long-standing U.S. policy that he calls victory
by means of archives.
Al-Shammari claims that the U.S. chooses to keep some cards close to its chest in order to use them at a later date. One
example is choosing not to invade Iraq in the 1990s and keeping its leader, Saddam Hussein, alive to use as a bargaining
chip against other Gulf States. Only once Shiism threatened to sweep the region did America act to get rid of
Hussein since they no longer saw him as an ace up their sleeve.
[Comment: This is not to say that 9/11 was solely a machination of the United States Government. The Saudi's were
involved - but it was not them alone of course. Israel and it's Mossad were also involved. Ultimately, it was not so
much an effort of particular countries, rather it was driven by the 'Illuminati' NWO 'Cabal' agenda which operates
beyond national boundaries.]
He claims that the 9/11 attacks were another such card, enabling the U.S. to blame whoever suited its needs at a particular
time; first it blamed Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, then Saddam Husseins regime in Iraq, and now Saudi Arabia.
September 11 is one of winning cards in the American archives, because all the wise people in the world who are
experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what
happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S.
Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings Expert
structural engineers demolished them with explosives, while the planes crashing [into them] only gave the green
light for the detonation they were not the reason for the collapse.
But the U.S. still spreads blame in all directions."
Related: Saudi Press Just Accused US Govt of Blowing Up World Trade Centers as Pretext to Perpetual War
The intention of the attacks, writes al-Shammari in his conspiracy article, was to create an obscure enemy terrorism
which became what American presidents blamed for all their mistakes and that would provide justification for any dirty
operation in other countries.
The terror label was applied to Muslims even though it was Muslims who helped America defeat the Soviets and bring an
end to the Cold War, he writes.
The problem, asserts al-Shammari, is that the U.S. must always find a new impetus to have an adversary, for the
nature of the U.S. is that it cannot exist without an enemy.
Al-Shammaris article comes amid a torrent of vociferous articles in the Saudi press that range from accusing the U.S. of
being schizophrenic and in cahoots with Iran to publishing warnings that if passed, the Satanic bill would open the gates
of hell.

What Would Happen If We Just Gave People Money?

May 22 2016 | From: FiveThirtyEight
Daniel Straub remembers the night he got hooked on basic income. He had invited Gtz Werner, a
billionaire owner of a German drugstore chain, to give an independent talk in Zurich, where Straub
was working as a project manager for a think tank.
He had read an article about the radical proposal to unconditionally guarantee citizens an income and spent a few
years casually researching the idea.
Related: Labour Leader Andrew Little Promises Debate On Universal Basic Income
Straub had heard Werner was a good speaker on the topic, and that night in 2009 he was indeed excellent at connecting with
the audience, a sold-out house of 200. It was a very intense evening; people were paying attention, Straub recalled.
Werner posed a pair of simple questions to the crowd: What do you really want to do with your life? Are you doing
what you really want to do?
Whatever the answers, he suggested basic income was the means to achieve those goals. The idea is as simple as it is
radical: Rather than concern itself with managing myriad social welfare and unemployment insurance programs, the
government would instead regularly cut a no-strings-attached check to each citizen. No conditions. No questions.
Everyone, rich or poor, employed or out of work would get the same amount of money. This arrangement would provide a
path toward a new way of living: If people no longer had to worry about making ends meet, they could pursue the lives they
want to live.
Straub had studied business, international policy and psychology at school and spent years working for IBM, the International
Red Cross and a Montessori school. Basic income struck a nerve, he said.
People are burned out more than ever. You come to Switzerland and talk to people, they arent happy. They fear
for their jobs. There is a gap between the economic possibility in this country and the quality of life.
After Werners talk, Straub quit his job at the think tank and began to campaign for a basic income full time. He and a few
hundred volunteers gathered 126,000 signatures over two years to force a referendum, now slated for June 5, to amend the
Swiss Constitution to guarantee a basic income to all citizens. (The suggested amount is 2,500 Swiss francs per month, or
about $1,700 after adjusting for the cost of living.)
Switzerland is one of the worlds richest countries, and compared to the United States, it offers far more generous health care
and education to its citizens. But supporters of the referendum think the government can provide even more security.
We limit ourselves too much, Straub said. Im interested in consciousness, expanding consciousness. And basic
income is a wonderful tool for that - it challenges a lot of assumptions we have.
The entirety of the Swiss government opposes the referendum, citing potential effects on peoples willingness to work and the
huge fiscal costs as reasons to vote no. Even Straub and his fellow supporters dont expect it to pass. But hes excited by
the enthusiasm, and media attention, hes seen for the idea in the past few years. Just getting on the ballot was a moment of
hope, for me and for a lot of other people, he said. It was a moment of departure.
Hes right that interest in basic income is spreading across the world. Finland and the Netherlands are developing plans to
study the idea. Canada will likely see an experiment in Ontario, if not on a national level. In France, several members of
Parliament have supported running an experiment, and the finance minister is open to it. And in January, Sam Altman, the
president of Y Combinator, announced that the San Francisco-based startup fund was organizing a basic income study in the
U.S.
In the last five years weve taken on a new respectability. But in the last two years it has become an avalanche, said Guy
Standing, a British economist who co-founded the Basic Income Earth Network in 1986 to promote debate and research on
the topic. Initially a small cabal of young economists, philosophers and activists, BIEN has grown into the largest hub for basic
income supporters - a global network with national organizations in 23 countries.
Basic income, Standing says, is more than good policy. He calls it essential, given that more and more people in developed
economies are living a life of chronic economic insecurity. He sees this insecurity fueling populist politicians, boosting far-
right parties across Europe and the rise of Donald Trump in the U.S. Economic stagnation increases the appeal of extreme
politicians, and unless those insecurities are addressed, Standing said, that appeal is only going to get stronger.
The economic uncertainty surrounding basic income is

huge, and the politics of bringing such a program about on a
large scale are daunting.
But something makes this radical proposal so exciting that

people and governments are increasingly willing to try it.
Basic income challenges our notions of the social safety
net, the relationship between work and income, and how to
adapt to technological change.
That makes it one of the most audacious social policy

experiments in modern history. It could fail disastrously, or it
could change everything for the better. Basic income has
attracted a motley crew of supporters, spanning the
ideological spectrum. Efficiency-minded libertarians like the
idea of streamlining the bureaucracy of the welfare state.
Silicon Valley techies hope a guaranteed income would

cushion the blow as automation replaces human jobs.
Those with a more utopian bent, such as the organizers of
the Swiss referendum, want to open up more options, to let
people create art and free the world of what Straub calls
bullshit jobs.
Critics of the idea say its too expensive, would encourage

people to stop working and possibly tank a countrys
economy. Its thought to be a political non-starter, too,
especially in countries less wealthy and with less generous
welfare states than Switzerland.
And because basic income proposes a radical reform to the existing welfare system - one that many progressives, at least in
the United States, have been defending tooth and nail over the last 30 years - it makes anti-poverty advocates nervous. Max
Sawicky, a former economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank in the U.S., outlined a progressive case
against basic income in 2013, calling it a distraction from raising the minimum wage, guaranteeing full employment, rolling
back Clinton-era welfare reforms and supporting unions - all policies, he argues, more in keeping with our current system and
our political culture.
Both lovers and haters of basic income often miss an important point: We dont have great data on how it would work or what
would happen if it did. Similar policies were tested in both Canada and the U.S. in the 1960s and 70s, but studies of their
effects were either flawed or abandoned.
To be honest, a full long-term universal basic income has never been tried, let alone rigorously evaluated, said
Michael Faye, the co-founder and executive chairman of Give Directly, a nonprofit that has pioneered direct cash
transfers to the extreme poor, primarily in Kenya and Uganda.1
Earlier this month, Faye announced Give Directlys plan to launch a large basic income pilot in Kenya, giving at least 6,000
people a guaranteed income for 10 to 15 years. They hope to find out what happens when everyone in a randomly selected
place receives a guaranteed basic income for a long period - something that has never been done before.
Experiments like this are important for our understanding of how basic income would work. But the idea has always been
about politics as much as economics. Until we have more evidence, the best thing basic income has going for it is its broad
appeal - after all, who doesnt like free money?
Basic income is not a single idea but a family of closely related ideas, which go by an assortment of names:
universal basic income, unconditional basic income, social dividend, guaranteed annual income, citizens income,
negative income tax, etc. But the core motivation - to address social ills by just giving people money - has a long
history.
Thomas Paine, the intellectual founding father and

pamphleteer, outlined a plan in his 1797 essay Agrarian
Justice to create a national fund making payments of 15
pounds sterling to each adult over 21 years old.
In the early 20th century, socialists and labor activists took

up the cause, arguing basic income could empower workers
and transform economies: British philosopher Bertrand
Russell backed it, along with those in the social
credit movement in Britain; left-wing Louisiana Gov. Huey
Long supported it while pushing to Share the Wealth.
But basic income never really caught on. In the U.S., the
New Deal - which focused on boosting employment through
public works projects, expanded workers rights and new
forms of social assistance like Social Security - was the
approach that won out instead.
In the 1960s, basic income became intertwined with the civil

rights movement and the War on Poverty. Martin Luther
King, Jr. was a fan. In his 1967 book Where Do We Go
From Here: Chaos or Community? King wrote:
"I am now convinced that the simplest approach will

prove to be the most effective - the solution to
poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely
discussed measure: the guaranteed income.
Around the same time, its appeal expanded rightward. Libertarian economist Milton Friedman began to advocate for a
negative income tax, whereby those earning below a certain threshold would get money from the government instead of
paying taxes.
At the end of the 60s, President Richard Nixons plan for a partial basic income passed the House of Representatives before
stalling in the Senate. No longer a proposal of bleeding-heart lefties, basic income was endorsed by a slew of notable
economists (including several who went on to nab Nobel Prizes).
But by the early 1980s, enthusiasm had petered out again. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher took power in the U.S. and
Britain, riding a wave of conservative backlash to expansive government programs. The tenor of debate shifted from
improving the welfare state to cutting it.
Those receiving government assistance were called lazy, if not corrupt. Welfare queen entered the lexicon and President Bill
Clinton promised to end welfare as we know it. Progressives and anti-poverty advocates went on the defensive. Basic income
was tabled, if not forgotten.
In the U.S., were left with a patchwork benefits system, an indecipherable alphabet soup of programs: SNAP, TANF, CHIP,
Section 8, EITC, WIC, SSDI. The U.S. government spends nearly $1 trillion across dozens of separate programs at the state
and federal level,2 as this byzantine diagram from the House Ways and Means Committee shows. This all requires enormous
administrative oversight on the part of the government, and it requires the ability to navigate multiple agencies on the part of
recipients.
The problems with this system go beyond its complicated structure. Because eligibility for most social assistance is based on
income (or is means-tested), recipients lose their benefits as they earn more income - this is often labeled the welfare trap
or poverty trap. For example: A family of four cant qualify for food stamps if it earns more than $31,536. These benefit
phase-outs, or cliffs, essentially create steep marginal tax rates on the poor.
Even welfare advocates are critical of the incentives embedded in this system. If youre a dollar over, you cant get
assistance, said Wessita McKinley, founder and director of Sistas United, a nonprofit working with individuals in poverty
around the Washington, D.C., area. Sometimes it feels like a governmental control; youre on a leash, and you can only go
so far.
Basic income promises an escape from the welfare trap - all the benefits would be the same, regardless of circumstance. And
by cutting a single check for the same amount of money, it could dramatically reduce administrative costs.
The money we spend on welfare will be better spent - more productive for the kind of ends we want - if we spend
it through a basic income, said Matt Zwolinski, a philosophy professor at the University of San Diego and one of
the most prominent libertarian advocates for basic income.
Despite squeamishness at the idea of government handouts, some libertarians see basic income as a more efficient
replacement for current social programs, one that would streamline the welfare bureaucracy and reduce costs overall.
He also argues that basic income is superior on moral grounds. People could spend their money however they want. No
longer would food stamp recipients, for example, be constrained to using their benefits to buy food, or even certain types of
food.
There is something objectionable about paternalism: treating adults as children who need to have their decisions
made for them, Zwolinski said.
A basic income could be any amount, but estimates typically begin with how much is currently spent on social assistance
programs (thats more or less how the Swiss basic income advocates arrived at 2,500 Swiss francs).
This method is practical for both quantitative and political reasons: Its fairly simple to evaluate existing social spending and to
advocate basic income as a replacement. Its harder, amid government austerity, to argue for more generous benefits, though
many supporters of basic income would like to see spending increase.
Welfare spending varies widely from country to country. In 2011, per capita public social spending in the U.S. totaled about
$700 per month, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group composed mostly of rich
countries.
This includes some programs commonly thought of as welfare, like food stamps and housing vouchers and bigger expenses
like pensions (Social Security) and health care (Medicaid and Medicare). Among 35 OECD countries, the U.S. ranks 11th in
this kind of social spending.
These figures are just a floor for a basic income; other economists researching the idea envision something high enough to
ensure a material existence and participation in society, said Valerija Korosec in an email. Korosec is a sociologist at the
Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development in Slovenia, and the author of the first proposal for a basic income in
her country.
She suggests a target between the current poverty level and as high as 60 percent of the median income. Yes, that would
require a huge increase in government revenues and thus, most likely, a big hike in tax rates to fund the redistribution as
basic income.
Replacing existing benefits with a single, universal check also raises eyebrows among advocates for the poor who might
otherwise be friendly to the basic income idea. There are some benefits that could be made universal but there are some
benefits that are targeted to people in need, said Deborah Weinstein, the executive director of the Coalition on Human
Needs, a Washington, D.C.-based anti-poverty alliance. People with disabilities, for example, have requirements that not
everyone has.
Even if you could agree on an amount, there are other economic costs. The biggest concern among critics is that with a
guaranteed basic income, too many people would stop working, or would be deterred from working more than they already
do. Its not clear exactly what work effects would materialize under a basic income scheme. However, over the last 50 years
there have been numerous attempts to study this question.
Between 1968 and 1980, the U.S. ran four major negative
income tax experiments in which families were assigned
into treatment and control groups, given cash and tracked
over several years.
The experiments were located all over: in New Jersey and

Pennsylvania; Iowa and North Carolina; Gary, Indiana; and,
the largest, in Seattle and Denver.
We learned an enormous amount from those

experiments, said Karl Widerquist, a Georgetown
University-Qatar professor who has studied the NIT
experiments extensively.
But the results were a political failure.
The core question unanswered by either side: What is an

acceptable decline in work?
Unsurprisingly, work effort did decline. Some NIT recipients

cut back their hours, but the declines were modest: no more
than 5 to 7 percent among primary earners, and a bit more
for secondary earners.
But participants quitting altogether didnt happen, and

people who did cut back their hours used their newly
available time to pursue other goals, including going to
school.
Some of the experimenters said that they were unable to find even a single instance of labor-market
withdrawal, wrote Widerquist in his 2005 paper summarizing the studies.
While the purpose of the NIT pilots was to observe changes in work effort, an unrelated phenomenon caught the eye of
critics: divorce. Controversy erupted when data from the Seattle and Denver studies seemed to show an increase in the
divorce rate among participants (those findings were later discovered to be the result of a statistical error).
The press spun wild stories, and the political credibility of NIT - and of basic income, for that matter - began to unravel. Sen.
Harrison Williams of New Jersey threatened to prosecute families in the experiments with welfare fraud. The experiments
were allowed to run their course but the divorce controversy and concerns about work disincentives effectively killed the
momentum behind the program.
As time has passed, the interpretation of these experiments has become more positive. While work declined, it fell by a
modest amount. That gives hope to advocates, who cite these studies as evidence that basic income can be implemented
with few economic side effects. I dont worry as much about work disincentives as some other people, said Zwolinski, the
libertarian advocate.
The original seed planted by Friedmans negative income tax idea eventually blossomed into the Earned Income Tax Credit,
thought by both conservative and liberal economists to be one of the more effective anti-poverty programs in the U.S.
because it manages to encourage work while avoiding the benefits cliff. The argument for a basic income as an anti-poverty
program over something like the EITC is that it would be easier to administer.
What do we know about giving a guaranteed income to everyone? Not much. Negative income tax policies such as the EITC
target specific groups, usually the poor. They have been tested. But basic income is often pitched as universal - everyone
would get the same amount, regardless of their circumstances.
And that has never been examined in a rigorous way.

The closest research we have to how a universal basic
income could work comes from a small town in Canada.
From 1974 to 1979, the Canadian government partnered

with the province of Manitoba to run an experiment on the
idea of providing a minimum income to residents.
The result was MINCOME, a guaranteed annual income

offered to every eligible family in Dauphin, a prairie town of
about 10,000, and smaller numbers of residents in
Winnipeg and some rural communities throughout the
province.3
MINCOME remains one of the most influential studies of

basic income in a rich-world country.
Evelyn Forget, now an economist at the University of

Manitoba, was a student in Toronto at the time. I knew this
was happening in Manitoba.
I just stopped hearing about it, she said. When Canadas

governing party changed midway through the MINCOME
experiment, funding dried up and the researchers were told
to archive their data for later analysis.
No database was created, and the results of MINCOME

were not examined.The closest research we have to how a

database was created, and the results of MINCOME were not examined.
Decades later, Forget started digging for the data. She unearthed 1,800 dusty cardboard boxes - with information on each
family receiving MINCOME - at Canadas National Archives. Forget digitized the materials and matched MINCOME records
with those in the database of Canadas universal health insurance program, which was introduced around the same time.
That allowed her to compare the health of those receiving MINCOME to the health of similar people who didnt. It resulted in a
blockbuster research paper, decades in the making: The Town With No Poverty, published in 2011.
Families receiving MINCOME had fewer hospitalizations, accidents and injuries, Forget found. Mental health hospitalizations
fell dramatically. And the high school completion rate ticked up during the years of the experiment, with 16-to-18-year-old
boys, in particular, more likely to finish school. Younger adolescent girls were less likely to give birth before age 25, and when
they did, they had fewer kids.
The program brought most recipients above Canadas poverty line. And the employment effects in Dauphin were modest.
For primary earners - those with full-time jobs - there was virtually no decline in work, Forget said. Nobody was quitting their
jobs. Cash from the government eased families economic anxiety, allowing them to invest in their health and plan over a
longer horizon.
MINCOME is now serving as inspiration for basic incomes comeback in Canada. The Liberal Party, which recently swept to
power behind Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is seriously flirting with the idea. There are several popular petitions to add it to
the partys platform, and a Liberal-dominated committee in Parliament is recommending the federal government study the
idea. In its 2016 budget, the provincial government of Ontario announced plans to conduct a basic income pilot this year.
The U.S. negative income tax experiments and the Canadian MINCOME pilot, while useful, can only tell us so much about
what happens when you give people free money. One reason is that they dont meet rigorous modern standards for
randomized control trials, the gold-standard of experiments. A number of basic income experiments popping up around the
world are designed to get better data.
Give Directly, which is launching the basic income pilot in Kenya, has previously run RCTs to examine the effects of giving
cash unconditionally; those experiments have shown that cash works wonders, and the peer-reviewed results have won over
economists. The children of recipients are healthier and get more education; adults earn more income by using the cash to
plan investments over a longer horizon; spending on alcohol and other vices - a worry some critics of cash grants raise - stays
flat or even declines.
Give Directlys work has gained broad acclaim as a more efficient and effective form of charity. We have learned a lot about
the positive impacts of cash transfer programs, Faye, the groups executive chairman, said. But taking the next step requires
addressing many more questions that havent even begun to be answered: Should the transfer be one-time or recurrent?
How long should the transfer last? What is the right amount?
Give Directlys analysis of previous basic income experiments finds them coming up short. A bullet-proof experiment on basic
income should be universal, randomized, long term and basic (that is, the income should be sufficient to live on). No
experiment has met all four: Some are basic, but not randomized; some are randomized, but not universal; and so on.
The MINCOME pilot, for instance, was randomized and basic but lasted less than five years. The U.S. negative income tax
experiments were similarly limited. Some highly touted experiments, including in Namibia and India, either werent
randomized or didnt provide enough income to be called basic. (Give Directly has a detailed breakdown of why every basic
income experiment attempted so far has failed to be rigorous.)
With basic incomes credibility on the line, Faye worries a flimsy study could be worse than none at all. He points to the
excitement over microfinance as an instance where evidence later disappointed expectations. Basic income should avoid
letting anecdote get ahead of the data.
There is no empirical evidence on whether basic income works or not, said Markus Kanerva, the founder of Tnk, a think
tank working with the Finnish governments social security agency to design and prepare the implementation of a basic
income pilot. The study has been promised 20 million euros over two years and could provide a partial basic income up to
750 euros per month to more than 1,000 Finnish citizens.
Researchers in the Netherlands have a similar aspiration to run a rigorous randomized controlled trial of basic income in
municipalities around the country. Just dont call it basic income. For political strategy reasons, theyre staying away from the
term basic income, said Jurgen De Wispelaere, a research fellow at the University of Tampere in Finland, who is in contact
with those running the Dutch experiments.
Instead, the pilots are billed as trust experiments and the basic income is often called a citizens wage. The cities of
Utrecht, with a population over 300,000, and Tilburg, at over 200,000, are the largest Dutch municipalities planning to conduct
an experiment. Two other major municipalities are on board but are waiting to get a green light from the minister of social
affairs; and 15 smaller municipalities are hoping to get clearance, too.
Its not just governments and charities attracted to the idea of basic income. The private sector is curious, too. Silicon Valley
in particular. These enthusiasts are motivated less by an interest in improving the welfare state and more by a desire to guard
against much bigger economic changes coming down the pike.
In a much-written-about 2013 paper, two Oxford economists estimated that 47 percent of all U.S. jobs were at risk of
computerization. Increasingly, technologists envision basic income as a hack, or fix, to the system - it offers a way of coping
with an economic future dominated by automation, a fallback plan for when most human labor isnt valued or needed.
We think there could be a possibility where 95 percent - or a vast majority- of people wont be able to contribute to
the workforce, said Matt Krisiloff, the manager of Y Combinators basic income project.
We need to start preparing for that transformation.
Sam Altman, Y Combinators president, committed $10 million personally toward YC Research, out of which this experiment
will be run. Plans are still in early development but the study will most likely be a randomized control trial, said Krisiloff. That
means giving cash to randomly selected Americans, hopefully over a long period.
To really do this well, youd have to do it on a large swath of the nation, Krisiloff acknowledged. The ultimate goal,
he hinted, will be to inspire some local or state government to launch a basic income pilot of its own.
Basic income is about wanting to embrace automation, said Albert Wenger, a partner at the venture capital firm Union
Square Ventures. In his forthcoming book World After Capital, Wenger argues scarcity has driven epoch shifts: The
invention of agriculture changed the scarcity from food to land; the Enlightenment and subsequent industrial developments
shifted scarcity from land to capital; but as computers and the internet have transformed us into an information society, capital
is no longer scarce.
We have enough physical capital in the world. but its unequally distributed, Wenger said. The last big scarcity is
attention.
What are we actually spending our time on, both collectively and individually?
Wenger wants less time spent on tasks that could be automated and more time spent on issues he thinks are insufficiently
addressed: fighting climate change, exploring space, preventing the next global pandemic.
Like the backers of basic income in Switzerland, he thinks providing for basic needs will allow innovation to flourish.
With a basic income, he said, youre put in charge of your time. Youll have 100 percent of your time available to
you.
Cameron Ottens wasnt going to wait on some government or company to run an experiment. There is some steam behind
basic income, he said, so he wanted to start the ball rolling. For some hard-core advocates, basic income is less about pure
science than living a lifestyle.
Ottens is a co-founder of My Basic Income, a San Francisco-based, one-year basic income raffle.
Yes, thats right - anyone can enter, for free, to win a basic income of $1,250 per month for a year. My Basic Income
successfully raised $15,000 and plans to raffle it off at the end of April or in early May. The group plans to track the winner as
a case study in what a basic income can free us up to do. The idea has already attracted interest from sweepstakes and raffle
enthusiasts who may not know much about basic income but like a free shot at $15,000.
Others have crowdfunded their own basic income. About two years ago, Scott Santens, a New Orleans-based writer,
discovered Patreon, a Kickstarter-like crowdfunding site with a focus on creative types.
It enables musicians, artists and niche bloggers to raise money directly from their fans. He took as his starting goal to raise
enough to live on $1,000 per month; it took about a year to reach that goal, but at the end of last November he hit $12,000
and hasnt looked back. Since then, hes been living entirely off his personally crowdfunded basic income.
Popular interest in basic income has exploded, affording him the opportunity to fund a basic income for himself, mostly from
fans of his writing - about basic income. Santens sees the rapid change happening in the world as driving this curiosity.
We have all this technology, and it scares some people. Youre thinking, when is my job going to be eliminated?
In this context, Santens believes basic income will be extremely impactful. Were going away from a traditional,
40-hour per week economy there is going to be a lot more flexibility and variety in what were doing, he said.
From Switzerland to the Netherlands to Kenya to Silicon Valley, a mixture of insecurity and curiosity are driving interest in
basic income, but its dominant ideology - and appeal - is utopian. The core existential struggle lurking in the debates over
basic income centers on what meaning work holds in our lives.
Straub, the Swiss referendum organizer, remembers his great-grandfather working 10 hours per day, six days per week. That
kind of toil is no longer necessary, nor desirable. The dream of a world where we produce more than we need has come true.
Back when he was gathering signatures in 2012, he would joke about the supposedly impending Mayan apocalypse as a way
to engage listeners on the core questions of basic income, questions he thinks still resonate: Well, if the world really was
going to end, how would you live this year? Why dont you live your life like that?
The market economy is great, but we want to substitute it with another system - take it to the next level, he said.
The big picture is about changing how we live.
This is a paradigm shift, and we want a referendum on that paradigm shift.

Anonymous Strikes The Heart Of The Empire - Takes Down U.S. Federal Reserve Bank
May 21 2016 | From: TheFreeThoughtProject
After announcing a global call to arms against the corrupt global banking cartel, the hacker
collective known as Anonymous, in conjunction with numerous other hacktivist groups, have
taken over 20 central banks offline, including striking at the heart of the Western imperialist
empire; the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Bank of England and the Bank of France.
A press release by Anonymous explained in the intentions behind the operation know as #OpIcarus:
"The banks have been getting away with murder, fraud, conspiracy, war profiteering, money laundering for
terrorists and drug cartels, have put millions of people out on the street without food or shelter and have
successfully bought all our governments to help keep us silenced.
We represent the voice of the voiceless. We are uniting to make a stand. The central banks which were attacked in
recent days were attacked to remind people that the biggest threat we face to an open and free society is the
banks. The bankers are the problem and #OpIcarus is the solution.
Operation Icarus was relaunched in conjunction with a video release announcing the beginning of a 30-day campaign
against central bank sites across the world.
Since that time, the scope and magnitude of the attacks have increased exponentially, with Anonymous, Ghost Squad
Hackers, a number of Sec groups and BannedOffline coordinating attacks - each focusing on separate financial institutions
in an effort to maximize the number of targets hit.
Some individuals have expressed reservations about Anonymous attacking the central banking system thinking that this
will in some way impact their individual accounts held in the banks. In an exclusive interview with The Free Thought Project,
an Anonymous member explained that this operation is directed solely at the 1%:
"We would just like to make it very clear that all targets of #OpIcarus have been Rothschild and BIS central owned
banks. In fact most of the targets so far such as Guernsey, Cyprus, Panama, Jordan, British Virgin Isles, etc are in
the top 10 places of tax havens for the elite.
No on-line consumer accounts were harmed, no ATMs were blocked and no personal client data was leaked. This
has been a protest against the Central Banks and the 1% - no innocent or poor people were harmed.
The operation began with an initial attack on the Central Bank of Greece and was quickly followed up with a similar DDoS
attack on the Central Bank of Cyprus. Last weekend, hackers reportedly targeted the Central Bank of the Dominican
Republic, the Dutch Central Bank, the Central Bank of Maldives, and Guernsey Financial Services Commission, according
to the official @OpIcarus Twitter account, which has been taken offline - presumably by Twitter. The National Bank of
Panama and the Central Bank of Kenya were also reportedly targeted a day later, according to hacking news publication
HackRead.
Additionally, reported Ghost Squad Hacker, s1ege also tweeted about taking the Central Bank of Bosnia-Herzegovina offline
and provided a screenshot to verify.
The Twitter account @BannedOffline also reported the Central Bank of Mexico had succumbed to a DDoS attack by the
hacking collective. The online hacktivist groups have continued to conduct a series of high-powered distributed denial-of-
service (DDoS) attacks, which forced the website of Central Bank of Jordan, Central Bank of South Korea, Bank of
Compagnie, Monegasque and the Central Bank of Montenegro offline.
On Saturday, hackers conducted a series of 250 Gbps DDoS attacks on the Bank of France, Central Bank of the United
Arab Emirates, Central Bank of Tunisia, Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago and Philippine National Bank. The recent
attack, on Monday morning, took down the Central Bank of Iraq.
In the most high-profile hacks thus far, during OpIcarus, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Bank of England and
the Bank of France all fell victim to separate cyber attacks.
In an exclusive interview with The Free Thought Project, an Anonymous representative explained:
"OpIcarus in support of Nuit Debout took the bank of France off line throughout the day as we continue to address
the corruption of the banking elite.
We are acting on behalf of the countless victims and the voiceless as the banking cartels continue their agenda of
buying the governments while selling out the people they are supposed to govern. This Op in no way is meant to
harm or disrupt the common person and their day-to-day activities.
We are you, we may be your neighbors, those you pass in the street and we are the working class. A Filipino
hacker within Anonymous was also able to disrupt services in the Philippines as an act of protest against his
nations corrupt and brutal government.
We will not and cannot sit by idly while the banking systems strip man of his dignity.
Anonymous has released a list of institutions the collective plans to target, which is divided into four sections; websites
associated with the U.S. Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), sites owned by the World Bank, and over
150 sites associated with national banks around the globe.
In two weeks, OpIcarus hackers have hit dozens of financial institutions listed in their online manifesto.
Any questions about whether the hacktivists would be able to take out some of the more high-profile institutions seem to
have been answered with the recent successful attacks on the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank in Boston, the Bank of France
and the Bank of England - the central banks of the U.K. and France.
The attack on the Bank of England was unique from the previous attacks, as it reportedly took down the internal email
server.
While some have questioned the effectiveness of OpIcarus, senior director at Corero Network Security, Stephanie
Weagle told Info Security magazine:
"While the impact on the individual targets of the DDoS attack campaign, OpIcarus is unclear; obstructing or
eliminating the availability of email servers is significant.
In an online world any type of service outage is barely tolerated, especially in the banking industry where
transactions and communications are often time-sensitive, and account security is of utmost importance.
Make no mistake that this operation has already been extremely effective - evolving and growing rapidly. In the world of high
finance time is money, and every minute that a bank is forced offline it is losing potential revenue, which in turn hurts the
bottom line of those that support the imperial war machine.
Thus far, all targeted banks have refused to comment on the damage inflicted by the continuous cyber attacks.
Khazarian Crime Syndicate: The Rotten Society We Live In
May 17 2016 | From: FinalWakeUpCall
An Evaluation of Crimes Against Humanity:
Jacob Rothschild lounging with David Rockefeller. Sorry to fuck up your shit boys.
Most of the Khazarian committed crimes over the last centuries are ingrained in humanity and are seen as business
as usual. These crimes are so unbelievable deceitful and corrupt why they require additional explanation in waking
up everyone, because we all are victim of this grand scale fraud on a daily basis.
Related: The Globalist Agenda
Frauds that have been set in motion so long ago that nobody even recognise these as crime.
The real power in the world is not the elected government that is employed by the people to serve the people, but it is
the Illuminati controlled banking world that manipulates every one of us. Politicians supported by party funds, big business
contributions, campaign funds, etc. are owned and controlled by these criminals.
They are hired and brainwashed being motivated to support new rules of law that facilitate the Khazarians to penetrate their
network into society even deeper, and secure continuation of their fraud.
Their fake money represents priority; keeping revenue short ensures laws are revised and the money from the middle class
flows to the rich.
Contrary real money has to have value of itself, as it is used as exchange for other things of value. This kind of money
cannot be manipulated.
Inconceivable Fraud;
Inconceivable quantity of fraud has engulfed the world over the last hundreds of years, enacted in particular through the
criminal banks and governmental services corporations, with extended tentacles to the farthest reaches of the globe.
This vast criminality cannot be defeated by the efforts of one or even thirty nations, as these crimes have been replicated in
almost all countries throughout the world with the same results, those must be addressed as a global issue and resolved in
favour of the people, because the people have not authorised nor benefited from these criminal activities caused by the
Central Banksters and their corporate affiliates.
All people have been victimised along with the rest of the world, by the wrong doings and fiduciary trust fraud on an
inconceivable scale.
The people of the western world, Japan and Australia have been all but destroyed by the British Controlled Federal United
States and their endless warmongering and deceitful deliberate money value manipulations through inflation.
Over the last one hundred years alone the US dollar, and mutatis mutandis all other major paper currencies have been
devalued by over 98%, as direct result of reckless, criminal, unlawful and fiduciary trust fraud on the part of central
banksters and their banking cartels.
In order to grasp the enormity of the perpetuated crime and fraud upon all of us, it is important to know that most of it is
accomplished through the corporate banks and government services corporations, presented as legalised banking
institutions and the so called elected governments that instead of serving the people, are simply hired contractors of the
British Crown in the City of London.
All these corporations are owned by foreign Bloodline families. They are private corporation, most of them franchisees of
the privately owned Bank of London located in the City of London, a private Khazarian Mafia nation-state with its own
ambassadors and police. The City of London is not part of the UK and doesnt pay taxes.
The Rothschild Banking family used covert maleficent operations to extract illegally enormous amounts of money with which
they bought the UK. They expanded their private central banking kingdom, and became the functional head of the Khazarian
Mafia, the Worlds leading Organised Crime Syndicate.
It is known that the RKM private central banking system is international, and functions like an octopus with many tentacles.
The only reason people pay taxes is because the RKM Banksters have transformed each country into their own police state
with their owned judicial system, and their ability to use their unbridled power of the boot in your face and threatened
imprisonment to force compliance.
It is of the highest priority to rooting out these criminals and imposters responsible for all of todays misre the world is in.
These banks and governments are all foreign Khazarian controlled corporations, contractors, and agencies that are
responsible for the mismanagement of the greatest part of the world.
Royalty is Involved:
Her Royal Majesty Elizabeth II and her predecessors with the Lords of the Admiralty, the Lord Mayor of London, and their
predecessors have betrayed their Sacred Trust and have been in breach of trust with respect to the corporate Nations Trust
for at least over the last 150 years.
Sorry if this bursts anyone's bubble but the supposedly lovely, harmless, perfunctual old woman is in actual fact a viscious bitch that finds it most
pleasing that everyone loves her; despite the fact she and her duplicitous, inbred family of criminals have been fucking you over for as long as they
have been around. It's an illuminati-type thing that will not make any sense to most, but hey that's what these hapless charlatans do. Not to mention
the most hideous posit that they do indeed want 90% of you dead. These people are not "elite" - they are nothing more than common
psychopathic criminals.
Comment: The Rothschilds sit above the Windsors in the scheme of things. Matters are becoming unstuck. And oh,
how unbecoming. It has come to our attention that a leading member of the Rothschild family noted that it seemed
a shame that the family had put so much effort into forming a world only to destroy it. Interesting. Not all is in
alignment.
And as all western nations are involved in this same fraud scheme, this demonstrates the international conspiracy to control
and defraud entire nations.
Insomuch the Holy See has declared and strived to build a Global Estate Trust on the Convocation of 1537 that includes all
nations within that trust and endeavour to establish Global Jurisdiction and common government services for all nations,
with other words the New World order.
In fact, this obliges the Holy See to obtain a peaceful resolution and enforce the return of peoples property assets. If the
Holy See doesnt correct and stop this systematic fraud against humanity the Global Estate Trust will also stand in breach of
trust.
The Vatican:
Actually the Holy See and the Vatican have been instrumental in converting all national governments on the planet into
national corporations deceitfully with the same name in capital letters, operating in the international jurisdiction of the sea
and the Roman Curia that made all those fraudulent manipulations a legal fiction.
It now is the unique responsibility of the Holy See and Pope Francis to correct this breach of trust and the mismanagement
of the corporate nations, as they in the first place are responsible for their creation.
Debt Fraud:
The private Federal Reserve bank, the United States Inc. the United Nations Inc. and their agents and contractors have
acted as criminals and these companies should be liquidated with their offending subcontractors and agencies. Because
these enterprises have never been authorised by the people to offer us credit or using our assets or private estates for the
security of debts of any governmental services corporation whatsoever.
They pretend that we the living people are responsible for paying of their debts as they made us deceptively corporations
named trust, with the same name in capital letters, to be plundered by the banking cartels, when in fact those that created all
this are responsible.
They are merely using deceptively similar names and exercising what appears to be public office for their private
benefit.
The Federal Reserve and central banks are running the bankrupt incorporated nations as a bankrupt pass-through to
purposefully advance vast sums of credit based on peoples assets and their respective earthly nation, and use this fraud
scheme in exchange for establishing unseen bonds against us the people, while our property and assets serve as security
as part of the overall fraud designed to entrap peoples assets and credit for the benefit of the criminals.
For this scheme they literally stole peoples identity by using their names for the creation of companies to claim they own
and control each individual person.
Complex Fraud Scheme:
They made the fraud scheme complex and long term, hidden by deceptive covers of sham to create lucrative fraud
schemes, carried out over decades and even centuries on a mindboggling scale.
The Federal Reserve and central banks unlawfully converted private accounts of millions of people into corporate accounts,
technically belonging to corporate contractors simply named after living people, to facilitate the seizure of these accounts
that banks unlawfully convert into accounts belonging to the central banks without disclosure, and eventually being
converted into ownership of the IMF, all executed without peoples knowledge or consent.
Fortunately, the Germans are beginning to understand that their country is not sovereign as it should be, but a corporate
vassal state of Washington DC, and that their chancellor Angela Merkel serves those crooks and their financial interests,
and not the interests of the Germans.
The Holy See:
The abuses of the corporations continue and have reached legendary proportions while still there is no comprehensive
statement from the Holy See revealing the fictitious nature of these entities that have been spawned under its auspices and
without public denunciation of criminality, and there is no visible undertaking to punish, regulate, or liquidate them.
The Holy See officially has been informed for about a decade of the illegal and immoral actions against humanity and
against humanitys lawful government, which has been on going since the 1800s, as all these acts have been accomplished
by fraud and deceit.
All these illegally established corporations must be liquidated without harming the millions of innocents who have been
misrepresented and mischaracterised by them as willing contractors. Unfortunately, many people still dont have a clue
what has been done in their names and assets, and never have had the opportunity to respond.
It is at the Popes discretion that these evil men continue their actions unopposed and each day drag more innocent people
into the web as accomplices-after-the-fact and still many others fall victim to this system of lies.
Mortgage Lending:
As a matter of fact the bank also unlawfully has converted your mortgage and mortgage contract into negotiable
instruments showing your signature. You may have noticed that nobody representing the bank ever signed any of this type
of paperwork. The only signatures appearing are yours.
The first thing the bank does beyond stealing your mortgage contract, is qualifying it to be a Promissory Note,
underconditions of deceit and non-disclosure in order to create a conduit loan not a home loan between you and
unknown investors, usually money markets or institutional investors, and then they place you in default by never transferring
your mortgage into a Real estate mortgage investment conduit, called REMIC.
This negligence on their part means that you are always in default from the moment the paperwork is signed no matter
what you do or how much you pay or how timely you are about paying.
It also means that they arent providing you with a home loan, but they also are cheating the institutional investors. The
banks play both ends of the loan game. They are cheating you and are cheating the investors and they get away with this
because politicians are stupid, corrupt, and most of the time bought.
Corrupt politicians and governmental services corporations run by banks have sold us out. The bankers make money at
our expense. They steal people blind, and enslave them for their profit, and invent legitimacy by buying the judges. So it is
time to permanently shut down these banks.
Did You Know?
Did you know that your national identity theft has occurred?
Did you know that all the mortgages already have been paid off, but these bankster crooks are continuing to bill
clients for non-existent debts and to take them to phoney corporate courts and steal their private property and
deceive investors on the stock market?
Did you know that they are using private commercial mercenaries paid for with our taxes to steal us blind and instigate
wars? This isnt a matter of politics. This is crime and conflict of interest, pure and simple, committed against humanity.
Wake Up folks and lets get our legitimate world back out of the hands of these criminals!
Promissory Note and Mortgage Contract Fraud:
A promissory note is basically an IOU that contains the promise to repay the loan, as well as the terms for repayment. The
purpose of the mortgage or deed of trust is to provide security for the loan that is evidenced by a promissory note.
It is legitimately proven that banks and lending institutes organised under the same system, never give anything of
equitable value in exchange for the Promissory Notes and mortgage contracts that they obtain.
And this relates to debt collectors as well. Under contract law all you have to do is ask them to show you the contract that you signed with them
agreeing you are liable to any debt. No contract. No debt. F*ck off. The entire debt collection industry is a SCAM
This demonstrates the basic fraud process; the banks create the credit for they loan out of thin air simply by entering
numbers in a ledger and that credit is based on the borrowers own assets not the banks assets.
The bank loans nothing of value of its own! All these institutions act under the same system. As evidenced by jurisprudence
from a court case that confirms that banks gave no equitable consideration, and that no valid contract ever existed. This
establishes the motive for the banks deceit.
They were able to obtain funds equal to the entire amount of the loan from the borrower without his/her knowledge. This
enabled the banks to deposit the borrowers own funds in a bank account and write a check off those funds back to the
borrower, thus creating the illusion that they gave the borrower a loan of the banks own assets.
For moneylending is this common practice, its an on going systematic fraud, committed by the crime syndicate in
cooperation with the courts, law enforcement agencies, and magistrates.

Rothschild Bank Now Under Criminal Investigation Over Missing $4 Billion In Global
Corruption Probe
May 16 2016 | From: DCclothesline
Last year the veil of invincibility seemingly came off the secretive Rothschild banking empire, as
Baron David de Rothschild and his company the Rothschild Financial Services Group
were indicted by French prosecutors for allegedly defrauding British pensioners in a scheme that
saw large sums of money embezzled.
Only two months ago, we reported on the Swiss branch of the Edmond de Rothschild Group announcing that they
were the target of a French criminal probe regarding a business relationship managed by a former employee.
Now, the Luxembourg unit of Rothschild banking empire is being investigated by the Luxembourg state prosecutors office
alleged to have sent hundreds of millions of dollars to an account at a bank in Luxembourg that originated from 1Malaysia
Development Berhad (1MDB).
The fund, 1MBD, was established by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009 as a government investment fund.
There have been widespread accusations of corruption surrounding Razak after $1 billion dollars in deposits into his
personal bank accounts were revealed.
The deposits totaled hundreds of millions of dollars more than had previously been exposed by probes into state fund
1MDB, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Luxembourg investigation stems from an international probe of money that may have flowed from the Malaysian
government investment fund, which is at the center of various worldwide corruption probes.
According to a report in the WSJ:
"The Luxembourg unit of Edmond de Rothschild Group, a private bank that manages money on behalf of wealthy
clients, said it is cooperating with an official investigation of money that may have flowed from a Malaysian
government investment fund at the center of various world-wide corruption probes
The Luxembourg investigation widens probes of 1MDB already under way by authorities in Switzerland, Malaysia,
Singapore, Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi.
Swiss authorities said in January that 1MDB-related losses from misappropriation could reach $4 billion. The
Luxembourg prosecutor said its case was connected to the investigation in Switzerland.
1MDB was created to invest in local energy and real-estate projects to boost the Malaysian economy. The fund
amassed $11 billion in debt which it has struggled to repay. Last July,The Wall Street Journal reported that almost
$700 million was transferred to Mr. Najibs bank accounts via a web of entities, money which investigators believe
originated with 1MDB.
1MDB has denied sending money to Mr. Najibs accounts and denied wrongdoing and said it is cooperating with
probes."
Edmond de Rothschild Europe is actively cooperating in the judicial proceedings, a spokeswoman for the Edmond de
Rothschild Group told the WSJ.
The Edmond de Rothschild Group oversees roughly $164 billion in assets, according to Bloomberg. The private bank and
asset management firm to the elite was founded by Edmond de Rothschild in Paris in 1953.
Baron Edmond de Rothschild
Edmonds son Benjamin de Rothschild succeeded his father as head of the group in 1997. Last year, Benjamin appointed
his wife, Ariane, chairwoman of the executive committee. The Swiss unit traces its roots to the acquisition of Banque Privee
in Geneva in 1965.
But the history of the Rothschild banking empire stretches far further back in time.
According to The Richest:
"The Rothschild Family as we know it is descended from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who was born in what is now
Frankfurt, Germany. The son of Jewish moneychanger and trader Amschel Moses Rothschild, Mayer Amschel
Rothschild was the fourth of 8 children, and went on to establish a huge international banking empire.
Through his 5 sons, Mayer Amschel Rothschild expanded his banking business, which was founded in the 1760s,
to international areas and, as such, managed to bequeath his huge wealth, unlike many rich members of the
Jewish community at the time.
Mayer Amschels 5 sons were each stationed at one of the major European financial centres, one in Frankfurt,
London, Naples, Vienna, and Paris.
This passing on of Mayer Amschels wealth and business meant that his sons could continue to build on the
foundations of their fathers success. In the 19th century the Rothschild Family were at the height of their powers,
and were known all around the financial world.
Their great fortune and ingenious business minds meant that they carried great power during this time. They
utilised this power by affecting some very significant events in human history in order to profit greatly from it.
This included backing the British forces with huge sums of money during the Napoleonic Wars (more on that later)
and funding Brazils claim for independence from Portugal."
Historically, there is ample evidence to show that the family has used insider trading to bilk money from both
private and public funds.
Towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars, in 1813, Nathan Mayer Rothschild saw Napoleons war efforts as a threat to his
business practices and decided to step in to help defeat the French conqueror. He became the most important financier of
the British war effort pouring the equivalent of $900 million dollars in todays dollars in 1815 alone.
The defeat of Napoleon, and subsequent ending of the Napoleonic Wars, which started in 1803 and raged throughout the
continent for 12 years before finally coming to an end in 1815.
insider trading, which led to the Rothschild family robbing a whole nation blind. When the battle of Waterloo took place in
1815, horse messengers were the fastest method of communicating information.
The Rothschilds took advantage of this by having their own spies on the frontlines of the battle that would then expedite the
information to the family faster than the messengers used by the military.
When the British won the battle, Nathan Rothschild, was, of course, the first to know, and he immediately went to the stock
exchange and started selling stocks while putting out the rumor that the French had won the war. This created a panic on
the floor of the stock exchange and investors all over England began frantically selling their stocks.
Rothschild expanded his familys wealth and cemented their position as one of the richest, and most influential families in
the world.
Although the Rothschild family now keeps a very low public profile, they still have significant business operations across a
wide spectrum of sectors.
While you may not find any one particular Rothschild on the Forbes most rich list, the family is estimated to control $1 trillion
dollars in assets across the globe, thus having a strong voice across the geopolitical spectrum that many perceive as a
hidden hand manipulating events silently from behind a veil of virtual secrecy and silence.
Foreign Control Of New Zealand: Key Facts
May 13 2016 | From: CAFCA
Foreign direct investment (ownership of companies) in New Zealand increased from $15.7 billion in
March 1989 to $110.6 billion at March 2015 over seven times.
As a proportion of the total output of the economy, Gross Domestic Product, it has risen from 22% to 46%.
Ownership of overseas companies by New Zealand residents has not grown as fast over that period (over five times) so net
foreign direct investment has grown eight and a half times from a net liability of $8.8 billion to $74.6 billion, and as a
percentage of GDP multiplied two and half times from 13% of GDP to 31%.
Foreign Direct Investment from International Investment Position, National Accounts, Statistics New Zealand, InfoShare series IIP088AA. GDP from
National Accounts, Statistics New Zealand, InfoShare series SNE038AA.
Foreign owners controlled 33% of the share market in 2015. In 1989, the figure was 19% and it was estimated to be below
5% in 1986.
At March 2014, they owned an estimated 29% of all equity (shareholdings) and 37% of privately owned equity, including
shares not listed on the stock exchange.
Foreign investors owned 27% (or $355 billion) of wealth in New Zealand whose commercial net value totalled $1.3 trillion at
March 2015.
This comprised housing, land, other property, plant, equipment and financial assets owned directly or indirectly by
households, government and foreign investors. New Zealand residents owned a further $202 billion of investments abroad.

decreasing order: Australia, US, Hong Kong, UK, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Netherlands, British Virgin Islands, Ireland,
Cayman Islands, China, Switzerland, Norway and France.
All had over $160m in foreign direct investment in New Zealand. These accounted for 96% of foreign direct investment in
New Zealand and Australia alone accounts for 52%. British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands are tax havens, and a
Statistics New Zealand study showed that in 2010, large proportions of the foreign direct investment from the Netherlands,
Singapore, Hong Kong and tax havens was in fact from other countries, led by the UK, US, Germany and Canada.

Transnational corporations (TNCs) make massive profits out of New Zealand. These can truly be called New Zealand's
biggest invisible export. In the year to March 2015, they were $9.0 billion. Over the last decade they have averaged more
than the combined exports of seafood and milk powder.
In the decade 2006-2015, TNCs made $77.5 billion in profits from New Zealand, an average rate of profit after tax on their
shareholdings of 12.5% (12.0% in the year to March 2015). Only 26% was reinvested (only 15% in the year to March 2015).

Another $7.9 billion left New Zealand in the year to March 2015 made up of investment income from debt and smaller

More than two out of every five dollars of the $16.9 billion went to the owners of New Zealand's banking sector: $6.9 billion.
The investment income from overseas ownership of the banking sector ("Deposit taking corporations") after taking account
of its small investment income from abroad, accounted for four out of every five dollars of New Zealand's current account
deficit in the year to March 2015: $6.5 billion compared to $8.1 billion.
The investment income deficit (income on New Zealand investment overseas less income on foreign investment in New
Zealand) has been greater than the current account deficit for all but two years since 1989, which further increases New
Zealand's foreign liabilities.

Foreign investors are not great for employment - they only employ 17% of the workforce (down from 21% in 2000), despite
owning a large proportion of the economy. Foreign ownership does not guarantee more jobs. In fact, it quite often adds to
unemployment. TNCs have made tens of thousands jobless.

Foreign ownership does nothing to improve New Zealand's foreign debt problem. In 1989, total private and public foreign
debt stood at $47.5 billion, equivalent to about two-thirds of New Zealand's Gross Domestic Product, and worth $86.4 billion
in March 2015 dollars.
As of March 2015, it was $246.2 billion (or $270.9 billion including derivatives), equivalent to 102% of New Zealand's Gross
Domestic Product despite being helped out temporarily by $20.2 billion of insurance claims for the Canterbury earthquakes

Key Responds To Cook Islands Allegation By Panama Papers Leaker
May 10 2016 | From: NationalBusinessReview
Prime Minister John Key took the unusual step of arranging a 1pm Saturday press conference to
respond to allegations from the anonymous source behind the Panama Papers.
This morning, the source named only as John Doe released an 1800 word statement on the website of the
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the group that has released various documents leaked
from Panama-based law firm and foreign trust specialist Mossack Fonseca.
Related: Mossack Fonseca's man in New Zealand denies any wrongdoing
Mr Key was the only world leader named in the statement.
"I have as much responsibility for tax in the Cook Islands as I do for Russia," said Mr Key this afternoon.
"Prime Minister John Key of New Zealand has been curiously quiet about his countrys role in enabling the financial
fraud Mecca that is the Cook Islands," John Doe wrote (in his statement's only reference to Mr Key or New
Zealand).
But at his 1pm press conference, the PM said, "The whistleblower has got confused about my responsibilities. I
have no responsibilities fro the tax jurisdiction of the Cook Islands. New Zealand has responsibilities for foreign
policy and defence of the Cook Islands, but not for tax. I have as much responsibility for tax in the Cook Islands as
I do for tax in Russia."
Video of Key's full stand-up:
Closed Down After 1988
Asked about why the Panama Papers leaker would tie the Cook Islands to Mr Key, he said he asked tax officials about it this
morning and they replied with the theory that "He or she is likely to be European, and Europeans get terribly confused about
the Cook Islands because they use New Zealand dollars."
It's also possible, however, that the "confused" European was making a reference to the winebox controversy.
Comment: As has been previously observed, this whole 'Panama Papers' debacle is clearly being implemented to
expose and wipe out some of the lower minions within the cabal. Very interesting indeed; that Mr Key should have
the distinction of being the only western political figure to have been publicly named.
Key did make an oblique reference to thr Cook Islands scandal, saying: "Prior to 1988, there were issues with New
Zealanders avoiding their tax by having a structure in the Cook Islands," he told reporters at his 1pm stand-up. In 1988 that
all closed down and subsequently there have been no issues.
Since 1988, New Zealanders have been taxed on their worldwide income, the prime minister noted. He also added that the
Cook Islands tax controversy was before his time.
No Responsibility, but Some Care [!?]
Commentator Bernard Hickey was quick to take issue with the prime minister on social media, saying;
Has New Zealand pressured the Cook Islands to change its trust secrecy/info sharing laws? If not, why not? The
Cook Islands uses the New Zealand dollar and Cook Island citizens are New Zealand citizens."
Mr Hickey added, If New Zealand is serious about not being tarred with the tax haven brush, why not stop the
Cook Islands from being a tax haven?"
"New Zealand does actually try to support the Cook Islands in improving its tax and the way it operates its
system," Mr Key said this afternoon, though qualifying, "It has its own double tax agreement, its own tax sharing
agreement and, over the years since 1988, New Zealand's been working with the Cook Islands to make sure
they've got a better structure, and that they're operating in a way with much greater transparency."
The New Zealand government doesn't get directly involved but officials try to provide support and encourage the Cook
Islands to have best practice, Mr Key said.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister's office released a statement saying an independent review of foreign trust disclosure rules
is now under way by former PwC chairman John Shewan. Mr Shewan is due to report on June 30. Additionally, Inland
Revenue is participating in an OECD review of international tax arrangements.
Overnight, there was more Panama Papers grief for the prime minister, with the Australian Financial Review name-checking
his personal lawyer, Ken Whitney, in an extended report on how a controversial Mexican construction tycoon put $100
million into three tax-free New Zealand trusts.
More to Come
Today, Mr Key called New Zealand a "footnote" in the Panama Papers. That may be true so far but more could be revealed
when a fully searchable version of the leaked Mossack Fonseca papers is released on May 9.
Peter Bale, the New Zealander behind the ICIJ, has already said he thinks there is more to come on New Zealand in the
Panama papers.
And this morning on the Nation (where he was interviewed on the same programme as Mr Bale), Winston Peters said he
agreed and hinted he was ready to reopen his winebox.
Well, I said some time ago that these papers would be very, very serious revelations because 11 and a half million
documents and New Zealand mentioned 60 times and us being positioned here in the South Pacific giving aid to
countries who were at the same time running tax haven utilities or using all sorts of fancy phrases for cheating and
fraud and money laundering, I think that the mention of Mr Key relates to where theyre going to go in one part of
the world on this matter," Mr Peters said.
For his part, John Doe said he (or she) was willing to cooperate with authorities "to the extent that I am able", expressing a
willingness to help authorities but also noting actions taken against recent whistleblower including Edward Snowden,
currently exiled in Russia.

Panama Papers: The Gift That Keeps On Giving & The Controversial Mexican
Construction Tycoon Put $100m Into New Zealand Trusts, Report Says
May 8 2016 | From: NationalBusinessReview / Various
Controversial Mexican construction magnate Juan Armando Hinojosa Cantu put around $US100
million into three tax-free trusts in New Zealand, according to a report by Neil Chenoweth - the only
Australasian journalist who has been granted access to documents leaked from law firm Mossack
Fonseca and known as the Panama Papers.
Correspondence published by Mr Chenoworth indicates Mr Hinojosa's $US100 million in three trusts (formed in
2015) could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Mossack Fonseca [apparently actually only one of the smaller players in tax haven schemes] has been on a marketing drive
to promote NZ trusts, he says.
He also highlights a letter from Ken Whitney (Prime Minister John Key's personal lawyer at the time) in which Mr Whitney
offered a professional endorsement for Auckland law firm Cone Marshall, which was seeking professional accreditation with
Mossak Fonseca.
Mr Chenoweth doesn't make any accusation that any laws were broken, and NBR politics editor Rob
Hosking says allegations of Mr Whitney's influence on foreign trust policy don't stack up. Nevertheless, Mr Chenoweth's
article has become a fixture in the Australian Financial Review's top five most-read list - provides another spotlight on the
foreign trust issue that the government will find unwelcome.
UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne says ongoing Panama Papers revelations - and more are expected involving NZ once the
ICIJ's database becomes searchable on May 9 - are potentially very negative.
If the label tax haven is being bandied about now as it is, sticks, then thats extremely damaging. You think of the
way we perceive other countries that weve historically labelled as tax havens. We dont view them credibly, and I
think thats the big risk to New Zealand," he says, closely echoing concerns raised by IRD in 2013.
According to a New York Times report, Mr Hinojosa has been close to Mexican President Enrique Pena Neito since
Mr Pena Neito was a young political aide.
Mr Hinojosa struck controversy in early 2015 after he built a $US7 million house for Mr Pena Neito's wife, but only $US3
million was paid upfront (the balance was covered by a promissory note).
Juan Armando Hinojosa Cantu
Around the same time, media highlighted that Mr Hinojosa had been awarded several large government contracts that did
not go to tender. Several ran way over budget, to the benefit of his companies.
Mr Hinojosa was not charged with any wrongdoing, but companies associated with him did subsequently see several of their
government contracts cancelled, including a $US3.7 billion rail contract.
The government has drafted former PwC chairman John Shewan to review rules around foreign trust disclose. He is due to
report on June 30.

"If you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let
the bankers continute to create money and control credit." - Josiah Stamp
Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world
seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit.
Their effective revolt against the banking class, who drove the tiny nation into economic crisis in 2008, is the
brightest example yet that the world does not have to be indebted in perpetuity to an austere and criminal wealthy elite. In
2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry.
Inspired by Icelands progress, activists in Switzerland are now making an important stand against the banking cartels and
have successfully petitioned to bring an initiative to public referendum that would attack the private banks where it matters
most: their power to lend money they dont actually have, and to create money out of thin air.
Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money.
The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000
people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system.

Switzerland is in a key position to play a revolutionary role in changing how global banking functions. In addition to being the
worlds safest harbor for storing wealth, it is also home to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a shadowy private
company owned by many of the worlds central banks, and acting as a lender to the central banks.
The BIS is the very heart of global reserve banking, the policy that enables banks to lend money that does not actually exist
in their bank deposits, but is instead literally created electronically from nothing whenever a bank extends a line of credit.
Reserve banking is the policy that guarantees insurmountable debt as the outcome of all financial transactions.
The Sovereign Money initiative in Switzerland aims to curb financial speculation, which is the intended and inevitable result
of reserve banking, the tool that makes financial adventurism possible by supplying the banks with endless quantities of fiat
money.
Limiting a banks ability to produce money from nothing would be a direct blow to the roots of the banking cartel, and would
cripple their ability to manipulate the world economy. Heres how it works, in rather simplified terms:
if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the
depression. [Source]
In Switzerland, 90% of all money in circulation is electronic, and for this, The National Bank of Switzerland has become the
direct target of the Sovereign Money Campaign. Swiss law has in the past required required banks to back all currency
creation with collateral assets like physical silver or gold, however in recent decades the climate has changed, and, due to
the emergence of electronic payment transactions, banks have regained the opportunity to create their own
money.
The grass roots campaign said in a public statement regarding the intentions of the referendum, banks wont be able to
create money for themselves any more, theyll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks.

This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or
not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated by Sam Gerrans:
if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the
depression. [Source]
Part of the cultural conditioning of our time is an ingrained, pre-assumed dependency on sacred cow institutions like
banking. Just like it is impossible for most Americans to envision a world without Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult
for most people to imagine a world without predatory global banking.
Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world. This is not
the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their collective wealth,
so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater awareness to the
truth about central banking.
From The Archives For ANZAC Day: All Wars Are Bankers' Wars
April 14 2015 | From: MichaelRivero / Various Sources
A very eloquent and relatively concise video discourse on how and why the title of this piece is so
tragically true, followed by a very detailed article for those who wish to read more.
This really is a must see / must read piece to be aware of the real history of banking and
warmongering over the last 100 years - along with the how and why such nefarious plans were
implemented; and to what ends.
This exposes the same plan that is being rolled out globally, not just in the United States.
"The common enemy of all human kind are private central banks issuing the public
currency as a loan at interest, and as history will show, they will do anything up to, and
including global war - to keep their lock on yours and your children's economic wellbeing
and productivity.
We are not a free society. Media will tell us that we are free, but we are not free.
We are slaves, our slave chains are made of paper - and that paper is the Federal Reserve
note [including the central bankster issued debt-based-notes of every other country]."
Too few of our leaders have tried to stand up to this system of enslavement, usually with lethal results. But if all of the people
of the world stood up at the same time and said "No more private central banks", it will come crashing down, just as slavery
did, just as rule by divine right did and we will be embarking on a new era in human history where the emphasis on human
development is on the people and not on the money junkies.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but
leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back
again.
However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this
world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the
cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits."
- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain
I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to
force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is
mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this.
The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to
conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.
Interest Bearing bank note from the Bank of England, 1764
"The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing."
- William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694

After the revolution, the new United States adopted a
radically different economic system in which the government
issued its own value-based money, so that private banks like
the Bank of England were not siphoning off the wealth of the
people through interest-bearing bank notes.
"The refusal of King George 3rd to allow the

colonies to operate an honest money system, which
freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the
money manipulators, was probably the prime cause
of the revolution."
- Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father
Following the revolution, the US Government actually took

steps to keep the bankers out of the new government!
"Any person holding any office or any stock in any

institution in the nature of a bank for issuing or
discounting bills or notes payable to bearer or order,
cannot be a member of the House whilst he holds
such office or stock."
- Third Congress of the United States Senate,

23rd of December, 1793, signed by the
President, George Washington
But bankers are nothing if not dedicated to their schemes to

King George III
acquire your wealth, and know full well how easy it is to
corrupt a nation's leaders.
Just one year after Mayer Amschel Rothschild had uttered his infamous "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care
not who makes the laws", the bankers succeeded in setting up a new Private Central Bank called the First Bank of the United
States, largely through the efforts of the Rothschild's chief US supporter, Alexander Hamilton.
Founded in 1791, by the end of its twenty year charter the
First Bank of the United States had almost ruined the
nation's economy, while enriching the bankers.
Congress refused to renew the charter and signaled their

intention to go back to a state issued value based currency
on which the people paid no interest at all to any banker.
This resulted in a threat from Nathan Mayer Rothschild

against the US Government, "Either the application for
renewal of the charter is granted, or the United States will
find itself involved in a most disastrous war."
Congress still refused to renew the charter for the First

Bank of the United States, whereupon Nathan Mayer
Rothschild railed, "Teach those impudent Americans a
lesson! Bring them back to colonial status!"
The British Prime Minister at the time, Spencer Perceval

was adamently opposed to war with the United States,
primarily because the majority of England's military might
was occupied with the ongoing Napoleonic wars.
Spencer Perceval was concerned that Britain might not

prevail in a new American war, a concern shared by many
in the British government.
Alexander Hamilton
The First Bank of the United States
Then, Spencer Perceval was assassinated (the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated in office) and replaced by
Robert Banks Jenkinson, the 2nd Earl of Liverpool, who was fully supportive of a war to recapture the colonies.
"If my sons did not want wars, there would be
none."
- Gutle Schnaper, wife of Mayer Amschel

Rothschild and mother of his five sons
Financed at virtually no interest by the Rothschild controlled

Bank of England, Britain then provoked the war of 1812 to
recolonize the United States and force them back into the
slavery of the Bank of England, or to plunge the United
States into so much debt they would be forced to accept a
new private central bank.

And the plan worked. Even though the War of 1812 was won
on the assassination of Spencer Perceval together with the declaration
of the War of 1812 by the United States, Congress was forced to grant a new
charter for yet another private bank issuing the public
currency as loans at interest, the Second Bank of the United
States.
Once again, private bankers were in control of the nation's money supply and cared not who made the laws or how many
British and American soldiers had to die for it.
The Second Bank of the United States

Bank Note from the Second Bank of the United States
Once again the nation was plunged into debt, unemployment, and poverty by the predations of the private central bank, and in
1832 Andrew Jackson successfully campaigned for his second term as President under the slogan, "Jackson And No Bank!"
True to his word, Jackson succeeds in blocking the renewal of the charter for the Second Bank of the United States.
"Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men
watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the
breadstuffs of the country.
When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me
that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true,
gentlemen, but that is your sin!
Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and
thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you
out!"
- Andrew Jackson, shortly before ending the charter of the Second Bank of the United States.
From the original minutes of the Philadelphia committee of citizens sent to meet with President Jackson (February
1834), according to Andrew Jackson and the Bank of the United States (1928) by Stan V. Henkels
Shortly after President Jackson (the only American President
to actually pay off the National Debt) ended the Second
Bank of the United States, there was an attempted
assassination which failed when both pistols used by the
assassin, Richard Lawrence, failed to fire.
Lawrence later said that with Jackson dead, "Money would

be more plenty."
President Zachary Taylor opposed the creation of a new

Private Central Bank, owing to the historical abuses of the
First and Second Banks of the United States.
"The idea of a national bank is dead, and will not be

revived in my time."
- Zachary Taylor
Taylor died on July 9, 1850 after eating a bowl of cherries

and milk rumored to have been poisoned. The symptoms he
displayed are consistent with acute arsenic poisoning.
President James Buchanan also opposed a private central

bank. During the panic of 1857 he attempted to set limits on
banks issuing more loans than they had actual funds, and to
require all issued bank notes to be backed by Federal
Government assets.
He was poisoned with arsenic and survived, although 38

The public school system is as subservient to the bankers'
wishes to keep certain history from you, just as the corporate
media is subservient to Monsanto's wishes to keep the
dangers of GMOs from you, and the global warming cult's
wishes to conceal from you that the Earth has actually been
cooling for the last 16 years.
Thus is should come as little surprise that much of the real

reasons for the events of the Civil War are not well known to
the average American.
"The few who understand the system will either be

so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon
its favours that there will be no opposition from that
class, while on the other hand, the great body of
people, mentally incapable of comprehending the
tremendous advantage that capital derives from the
system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and
perhaps without even suspecting that the system is
inimical to their interests."
- The Rothschild brothers of London writing to

associates in New York, 1863
President Zachary Taylor, ca 1850 When the Confederacy seceded from the United States, the
bankers once again saw the opportunity for a rich harvest of
debt, and offered to fund Lincoln's efforts to bring the south
back into the union, but at 30% interest.
Lincoln remarked that he would not free the black man by

enslaving the white man to the bankers and using his
authority as President, issued a new government currency,
the greenback. This was a direct threat to the wealth and
power of the central bankers, who quickly responded.

President James Buchanon
"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its

origin in North America, shall become endurated
down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish
its own money without cost.
It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have

all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It
will become prosperous without precedent in the
history of the world.
The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to

North America. That country must be destroyed or it
will destroy every monarchy on the globe."
- The London Times responding to Lincoln's

decision to issue government Greenbacks to
finance the Civil War, rather than agree to
private banker's loans at 30% interest.
In 1872 New York bankers sent a letter to every bank in the

United States, urging them to fund newspapers that opposed
government-issued money (Lincoln's greenbacks).
"Dear Sir: It is advisable to do all in your power to sustain

such prominent daily and weekly newspapers... as will
oppose the issuing of greenback paper money, and that you
also withhold patronage or favors from all applicants who are
not willing to oppose the Government issue of money. Let
the Government issue the coin and the banks issue the
President Abraham Lincoln paper money of the country...
[T]o restore to circulation the Government issue of money, will be to provide the people with money, and will therefore
seriously affect your individual profit as bankers and lenders."
- Triumphant plutocracy; the story of American public life from 1870 to 1920, by Lynn Wheeler
"It will not do to allow the greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that." --
Triumphant plutocracy; the story of American public life from 1870 to 1920, by Lynn Wheeler "Slavery is likely to be abolished
by the war power, and chattel slavery destroyed.
This, I and my European friends are in favor of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care for the
laborer, while the European plan, led on by England, is for capital to control labor by controlling the wages. THIS CAN BE
DONE BY CONTROLLING THE MONEY."
- Triumphant plutocracy; the story of American public life from 1870 to 1920, by Lynn Wheeler
Goaded by the private bankers, much of Europe supported the Confederacy against the Union, with the expectation that
victory over Lincoln would mean the end of the Greenback. France and Britain considered an outright attack on the United
States to aid the confederacy, but were held at bay by Russia, which had just ended the serfdom system and had a state
central bank similar to the system the United States had been founded on.
Left free of European intervention, the Union won the war,

and Lincoln announced his intention to go on issuing
greenbacks.
Following Lincoln's assassination, the Greenbacks were

pulled from circulation and the American people forced to go
back to an economy based on bank notes borrowed at
interest from the private bankers.
Tsar Alexander II, who authorized Russian military

assistance to Lincoln, was subsequently the victim of
multiple attempts on his life in 1866, 1879, and 1880, until
his assassination in 1881.
With the end of Lincoln's Greenbacks, the US could no

longer create its own interest free money and was
manipulated during the term of President Ruthford B. Hayes
into borrowing from the Rothschilds banking system in 1878,
restoring to the Rothschilds control of the US economy they
had lost under Andrew Jackson.

James A. Garfield was elected President in 1880 on a

platform of government control of the money supply.
"The chief duty of the National Government in

connection with the currency of the country is to coin
money and declare its value.
Grave doubts have been entertained whether
Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make
any form of paper money legal tender.
The present issue of United States notes has been

sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper
should depend for its value and currency upon its
convenience in use and its prompt redemption in
coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its
compulsory circulation.
These notes are not money, but promises to pay

money. If the holders demand it, the promise should
be kept."
- James Garfield
"By the experience of commercial nations in all ages

it has been found that gold and silver afford the only
safe foundation for a monetary system.
Confusion has recently been created by variations in

the relative value of the two metals, but I confidently
believe that arrangements can be made between
the leading commercial nations which will secure the
general use of both metals.
President James Garfield Congress should provide that the compulsory

coinage of silver now required by law may not
disturb our monetary system by driving either metal
out of circulation.
If possible, such an adjustment should be made that

the purchasing power of every coined dollar will be
exactly equal to its debt-paying power in all the
markets of the world."
- James Garfield
"He who controls the money supply of a nation

controls the nation."
- James Garfield
President William McKinley
Garfield was shot on July 2, 1881 and died of his wounds several weeks later. Chester A. Arthur succeeded Garfield as
President.
In 1896, William McKinley was elected President in the middle of a depression-driven debate over gold-backed government
currency versus bank notes borrowed at interest from private banks.
McKinley favored gold-backed currencies and a balanced government budget which would free the public from accumulating
debt.
"Our financial system needs some revision; our money is all good now, but its value must not further be
threatened.
It should all be put upon an enduring basis, not subject to easy attack, nor its stability to doubt or dispute. Our
currency should continue under the supervision of the Government.
The several forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, a constant embarrassment to the Government and a
safe balance in the Treasury."
- William McKinley
McKinley was shot by an out-of-work anarchist on September 14, 1901, in Buffalo, NY, succumbing to his wounds a few days
later. He was suceeded in office by Theodore Roosevelt.
Finally, in 1913, the Private Central Bankers of Europe, in particular the Rothschilds of Great Britain and the Warburgs of
Germany, met with their American financial collaborators on Jekyll Island, Georgia to form a new banking cartel with the
express purpose of forming the Third Bank of the United States, with the aim of placing complete control of the United States
money supply once again under the control of private bankers.
Owing to hostility over the previous banks, the name was changed to "The Federal Reserve" system in order to grant the new
bank a quasi-governmental image, but in fact it is a privately owned bank, no more "Federal" than Federal Express.
The Federal Reserve; it is neither "Federal" nor does it have any actual "Reserves", creating as it does money out of thin air.
In 2012, the Federal Reserve attempted to rebuff a Freedom of Information Lawsuit by Bloomberg News on the grounds that
as a private banking corporation and not actually a part of the government, the Freedom of Information Act did not apply
to the "trade secret" operations of the Federal Reserve.
"When you or I write a check, there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check; but when the
Federal Reserve writes a check, there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve
writes a check, it is creating money." -- From the Boston Federal Reserve Bank pamphlet, "Putting it Simply."
"Neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a 'dollar' bill is just a piece of paper.
Deposits are merely book entries."
- "Modern Money Mechanics Workbook" - Federal Reserve of Chicago, 1975
"I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who
control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of
the people."
- Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924
"States, most especially the large hegemonic ones, such as the United States and Great Britain, are controlled by
the international central banking system, working through secret agreements at the Bank for International
Settlements (BIS), and operating through national central banks (such as the Bank of England and the Federal
Reserve)...
The same international banking cartel that controls the United States today previously controlled Great Britain and
held it up as the international hegemon.
When the British order faded, and was replaced by the United States, the US ran the global economy. However,
the same interests are served.
States will be used and discarded at will by the international banking cartel; they are simply tools."
- Andrew Gavin Marshall
1913 proved to be a transformative year for the nation's economy, first with the passage of the 16th "income tax"
Amendment and the false claim that it had been ratified.
"I think if you were to go back and and try to find and review the ratification of the 16th amendment, which was the
internal revenue, the income tax, I think if you went back and examined that carefully, you would find that a
sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment."
- U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox, Sullivan Vs. United States, 2003.
Later that same year, and apparently unwilling to risk another questionable amendment, Congress passed the Federal
Reserve Act over Christmas holiday 1913, while members of Congress opposed to the measure were at home.
This was a very underhanded deal, as the Constitution explicitly vests Congress with the authority to issue the public
currency, does not authorize its delegation, and thus should have required a new Amendment to transfer that authority to a
private bank.
But pass it Congress did, and President Woodrow Wilson signed it as he promised the bankers he would in exchange for
generous campaign contributions.
Woodrow Wilson later regretted that decision.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined

my country.
A great industrial nation is now controlled by its

system of credit.
We are no longer a government by free opinion, no

longer a government by conviction and the vote of
the majority, but a government by the opinion and
duress of a small group of dominant men."
- Woodrow Wilson 1919
Thomas Edison, arguably the most brilliant man of the age,

was also well aware of the fraud of private central banks.
"People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the

project nor contribute a pound of material, will collect
more money from the United States than will the
People who supply all the material and do all the
work.
This is the terrible thing about interest ...

Constitution, only a new Amendment could transfer the government's
But here is the point: If the Nation can issue a dollar
authority to create the currency to a private party. bond it can issue a dollar bill.
The element that makes the bond good makes the

bill good also.
The difference between the bond and the bill is that

the bond lets the money broker collect twice the
amount of the bond and an additional 20%.
Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by

the Constitution pays nobody but those who
contribute in some useful way.
It is absurd to say our Country can issue bonds

and cannot issue currency.
Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer

and the other helps the People.
If the currency issued by the People were no good,

then the bonds would be no good, either.
It is a terrible situation when the Government, to

insure the National Wealth, must go in debt and
submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of
men who control the fictitious value of gold."
- Thomas A. Edison
The next year, World War One started, and it is

important to remember that prior to the creation of the
Federal Reserve, there was no such thing as a world
war.
President Woodrow Wilson
In 1913, the Rothschild KM was able to establish a beachhead by bribing crooked, treasonous members of Congress to pass the illegal,
Unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act on Christmas Eve without a required quorum. The Act was then signed by a crooked, bought off President, who
was a traitor to America, like the members of Congress who voted for it.
World War One started between Austria-Hungary and
Serbia with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
Although the war started between Austria-Hungary and

Serbia, it quickly shifted to focus on Germany, whose
industrial capacity was seen as an economic threat to Great
Britain, who saw the decline of the British Pound as a result
of too much emphasis on financial activity to the neglect of
agriculture, industrial development, and infrastructure (not
unlike the present day United States).
Although pre-war Germany had a private central bank, it

was heavily restricted and inflation kept to reasonable
levels.
Under government control, investment was guaranteed to

internal economic development, and Germany was seen as
a major power.
So, in the media of the day, Germany was portrayed as the

prime opponent of World War One, and not just defeated,
but its industrial base flattened.
Following the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was ordered to

pay the war costs of all the participating nations, even
though Germany had not actually started the war.
This amounted to three times the value of all of Germany

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination triggered World War itself.
One
Germany's private central bank, to whom Germany had
gone deeply into debt to pay the costs of the war, broke free
of government control, and massive inflation followed
(mostly triggered by currency speculators), permanently
trapping the German people in endless debt.
When the Weimar Republic collapsed economically, it

opened the door for the National Socialists to take power.
Their first financial move was to issue their own state

currency which was not borrowed from private central
bankers.
Freed from having to pay interest on the money in

circulation, Germany blossomed and quickly began to
rebuild its industry.
The media called it "The German Miracle".
TIME magazine lionized Hitler for the amazing improvement

in life for the German people and the explosion of German
industry, and even named him TIME Magazine's Man Of
The Year in 1938.
Once again, Germany's industrial output became a threat to

Great Britain.
Germany's state-issued value based currency was also a

direct threat to the wealth and power of the private central
banks, and as early as 1933 they started to organize a
global boycott against Germany to strangle this upstart
ruler who thought he could break free of private central
bankers!
Hitler as TIME's man of the year

"Should Germany merchandise (do business) again in the next 50 years we have led this war (WW1) in vain."
- Winston Churchill in The Times (1919)
"We will force this war upon Hitler, if he wants it or not."
- Winston Churchill (1936 broadcast)
"Germany becomes too powerful. We have to crush it."
- Winston Churchill (November 1936 speaking to US - General Robert E. Wood)
"This war is an English war and its goal is the destruction of Germany."
- Winston Churchill (- Autumn 1939 broadcast)

As had been the case in World War One, Great Britain and other nations threatened by Germany's economic power looked
for an excuse to go to war, and as public anger in Germany grew over the boycott, Hitler foolishly gave them that excuse.
Years later, in a spirit of candor, the real reasons for that war were made clear.
"The war wasn't only about abolishing fascism, but to conquer sales markets. We could have, if we had intended
so, prevented this war from breaking out without doing one shot, but we didn't want to."
- Winston Churchill to Truman (Fultun, USA March 1946)
"Germany's unforgivable crime before WW2 was its attempt to loosen its economy out of the world trade system
and to build up an independent exchange system from which the world-finance couldn't profit anymore. ...We
butchered the wrong pig."
-Winston Churchill (The Second World War - Bern, 1960)
As a side note, we need to step back before WW2 and recall Marine Major General Smedley Butler. In 1933, Wall Street
bankers and financiers had bankrolled the successful coups by both Hitler and Mussolini. Brown Brothers Harriman in New
York was financing Hitler right up to the day war was declared with Germany.
And they decided that a fascist dictatorship in the United

States based on the one on Italy would be far better for their
business interests than Roosevelt's "New Deal" which
threatened massive wealth re-distribution to recapitalize the
working and middle class of America.
So the Wall Street tycoons recruited General Butler to lead

the overthrow of the US Government and install a
"Secretary of General Affairs" who would be answerable to
Wall Street and not the people, would crush social unrest
and shut down all labor unions.
General Butler pretended to go along with the scheme but

then exposed the plot to Congress. Congress, then as now
in the pocket of the Wall Street bankers, refused to act.
When Roosevelt learned of the planned coup he demanded

the arrest of the plotters, but the plotters simply reminded
Roosevelt that if any one of them were sent to prison, their
friends on Wall Street would deliberately collapse the still-
fragile economy and blame him for it.
Roosevelt was thus unable to act until the start of WW2, at

which time he prosecuted many of the plotters under the
Trading With The Enemy act.
Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler
The Congressional minutes into the coup were finally declassified in 1967, but rumors of the attempted coup became the
inspiration for the movie, "Seven Days in May" but with the true financial villains erased from the script.
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service as a member of our country's most agile military force -
the Marine Corps.
I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent more of
my time being a high - class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers.
In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. "I suspected I was just a part of a racket at the time.
Now I am sure of it.
Like all members of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left the service. My mental
faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with
everyone in the military service.
Thus I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti
and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.
I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of
racketeering is long.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-12. I brought light to the
Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916.
In China in 1927 I helped see to it that the Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the
boys in the back room would say, a swell racket.
I was rewarded with honors, medals and promotion. Looking back on it, I feel I might have given Al Capone a few
hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three city districts. I operated on three continents."
- General Smedley Butler, former US Marine Corps Commandant,1935
President John F. Kennedy
As President, John F. Kennedy understood the predatory nature of private central banking. He understood why Andrew fought
so hard to end the Second Bank of the United States. So Kennedy wrote and signed Executive Order 11110 which ordered
the US Treasury to issue a new public currency, the United States Note.
Presidents Kennedy and Soekarno
Kennedy was working with President Soekarno of Indonesia who was at that time the signatory for the Global Collateral
Accounts which were intended to be used for humanitarian purposes but which were subverted at the time of the Bretton-
Woods agreement at the end of WWII.
The intention of Kennedy and Soekarno was to end the reign of the globalist privately owned central banking system
- which is the main reason that Kennedy was killed, and for his part Soekarno remained under house arrest for the
rest of his life.
The efforts to regain control of the Global Collateral Accounts are now being led by Neil Keenan.
The West had been stealing from the Collateral Accounts for nearly 100 years but this has now been stopped by Neil Keenan
and his associates, who have gone to considerable expense and risk in their mission to ensure the Global Collateral Accounts
are accessible - for the humanitarian purposes for which they were established.
Kennedy's United States Note - with the lack of reference to the FEDERAL RESERVE
Kennedy's United States Notes were not borrowed from the Federal Reserve but created by the US Government and backed
by the silver stockpiles held by the US Government. It represented a return to the system of economics the United States had
been founded on, and was perfectly legal for Kennedy to do.
All told, some four and one half billion dollars went into public circulation, eroding interest payments to the Federal Reserve
and loosening their control over the nation. Five months later John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas, and
the United States Notes pulled from circulation and destroyed (except for samples held by collectors).
John J. McCloy
John J. McCloy, President of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and President of the World Bank, was named to the Warren
Commission, presumably to make certain the banking dimensions behind the assassination were concealed from the public.
As we enter the eleventh year of what future history will most certainly describe as World War Three, we need to examine the
financial dimensions behind the wars.
Towards the end of World War Two, when it became obvious that the allies were going to win and dictate the post war
environment, the major world economic powers met at Bretton Woods, a luxury resort in New Hampshire in July of 1944, and
hammered out the Bretton Woods agreement for international finance.
The British Pound lost its position as the global trade and reserve currency to the US dollar (part of the price demanded by
Roosevelt in exchange for the US entry into the war). Absent the economic advantages of being the world's "go-to" currency,
Britain was forced to nationalize the Bank of England in 1946.
The Bretton Woods agreement, ratified in 1945, in addition to making the dollar the global reserve and trade currency,
obligated the signatory nations to tie their currencies to the dollar. The nations that ratified Bretton Woods did so on two
conditions. The first was that the Federal Reserve would refrain from over-printing the dollar as a means to loot real products
and produce from other nations in exchange for ink and paper; basically an imperial tax.
That assurance was backed up by the second requirement, which was that the US dollar would always be convertible to gold
at $35 per ounce.
The Bretton Woods resort, New Hampshire
The Federal Reserve, being a private bank and not answerable to the US Government, did start overprinting paper dollars,
and much of the perceived prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s was the result of foreign nations' obligations to accept the paper
notes as being worth gold at the rate of $35 an ounce.
Then in 1970, France looked at the huge pile of paper notes sitting in their vaults, for which real French products like wine and
cheese had been traded, and notified the United States government that they would exercise their option under Bretton
Woods to return the paper notes for gold at the $35 per ounce exchange rate.
The United States had nowhere near the gold to redeem the paper notes, so on August 15th, 1971, Richard Nixon
"temporarily" suspended the gold convertibility of the US Federal Reserve Notes.
Nixon announced the end of gold convertability
Later termed the "Nixon shock", this move effectively ended Bretton Woods and many global currencies started to delink from
the US dollar.
The "Nixon Shock"
Worse, since the United States had collateralized their loans with the nation's gold reserves, it quickly became apparent that
the US Government did not in fact have enough gold to cover the outstanding debts.
Foreign nations began to get very nervous about their loans to the US and understandably were reluctant to loan any
additional money to the United States without some form of collateral.
So Richard Nixon started the environmental movement, with the EPA and its various programs such as "wilderness zones",
Roadless areas", Heritage rivers", "Wetlands", all of which took vast areas of public lands and made them off limits to the
American people who were technically the owners of those lands.
But Nixon had little concern for the environment and the real purpose of this land grab under the guise of the environment was
to pledge those pristine lands and their vast mineral resources as collateral on the national debt. This was part of the
forerunner to the UN Agernda 21 "Sustainability" farce.
The plethora of different programs was simply to conceal the true scale of how much American land was being pledged to
foreign lenders as collateral on the government's debts; eventually almost 25% of the nation itself.
All of this is illegal as the Enclave Clause of the Constitution limits the Federal Government to owning the land under Federal
Government buildings and military bases, and that Enclave Clause was written into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers
to specifically to prevent the Federal Government simply seizing the land belonging to the people to sell off, pledge as
collateral, or rent!
With open lands for collateral already in short supply, the US Government embarked on a new program to shore up sagging
international demand for the dollar.
The United States approached the world's oil producing nations, mostly in the Middle East, and offered them a deal. In
exchange for only selling their oil for dollars, the United States would guarantee the military safety of those oil-rich nations.
The oil rich nations would agree to spend and invest their US paper dollars inside the United States, in particular in US
Treasury Bonds, redeemable through future generations of US taxpayers.
The concept was labeled the "petrodollar". In effect, the US, no longer able to back the dollar with gold, was now
backing it with oil.
Other peoples' oil. And that necessity to keep control over those oil nations to prop up the dollar has shaped America's foreign
policy in the region ever since.
But as America's manufacturing and agriculture has declined, the oil producing nations faced a dilemma. Those piles of US
Federal Reserve notes were not able to purchase much from the United States because the United States had little (other
than real estate) anyone wanted to buy.
Europe's cars and aircraft were superior and less costly, while experiments with GMO food crops led to nations refusing to buy
US food exports.
Israel's constant belligerence against its neighbors caused them to wonder if the US could actually keep their end of the
petrodollar arrangement. Oil producing nations started to talk of selling their oil for whatever currency the purchasers chose to
use.
Saddam Hussein
Iraq, already hostile to the United States following Desert Storm, demanded the right to sell their oil for Euros in 2000 and in
2002, the United Nations agreed to allow it under the "Oil for food" program instituted following Desert Storm.
One year later the United States re-invaded Iraq under the lie of Saddam's nuclear weapons, lynched Saddam Hussein,
and placed Iraq's oil back on the world market only for US dollars.
The clear US policy shift following 9-11, away from being an impartial broker of peace in the Mideast to one of unquestioned
support for Israel's aggressions only further eroded confidence in the Petrodollar deal and even more oil producing nations
started openly talking of oil trade for other global currencies.
Gaddafi
Over in Libya, Muammar Gaddafi had instituted a state-owned central bank and a value based trade currency, the Gold Dinar.
Also see: Libya: From Africas Richest State Under Gaddafi, to Failed State After NATO Intervention
Gaddafi announced that Libya's oil was for sale, but only for the Gold Dinar. Other African nations, seeing the rise of the Gold
Dinar and the Euro, even as the US dollar continued its inflation-driven decline, flocked to the new Libyan currency for trade.
This move had the potential to seriously undermine the global hegemony of the dollar. French President Nicolas
Sarkozy reportedly went so far as to call Libya a threat to the financial security of the world.
So, the United States invaded Libya, brutally murdered Qaddafi (the object lesson of Saddam's lynching not being enough of
a message, apparently), imposed a private central bank, and returned Libya's oil output to dollars only. The gold that was to
have been made into the Gold Dinars is, as of last report, unaccounted for.
General Wesley Clark blew the whistle on US plans to conquer the oil-rich Middle East, to attack and take over 7 countries in 5 years.
According to General Wesley Clark, the master plan for the "dollarification" of the world's oil nations included seven targets,
Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran (Venezuela, which dared to sell their oil to China for the Yuan, is a late
addition).
What is notable about the original seven nations originally targeted by the US is that none of them are members of the Bank
for International Settlements, the private central bankers private central bank, located in Switzerland.
This meant that these nations were deciding for themselves how to run their nations' economies, rather than submit
to the international private banks.
Now the bankers' gun sights are on Iran, which dares to have a government central bank and sell their oil for whatever
currency they choose.
The war agenda is, as always, to force Iran's oil to be sold only for dollars and to force them to accept a privately
owned central bank.
Malaysia, one of the few remaining nations without a Rothschild central bank, is now being invaded by a force
claimed to be "Al Qaeda" and has suffered numerous suspicious losses of its commercial passenger jets.
With the death of President Hugo Chavez, plans to impose a US and banker friendly regime on Venezuela are clearly being
implemented.
Germany's gold bullion. Where is it?
The German government recently asked for the return of some of their gold bullion from the Bank of France and the New York
Federal Reserve. France has said it will take 5 years to return Germany's gold. The United States has said they will need 8
years to return Germany's gold.
This suggests strongly that the Bank of France and the NY Federal Reserve have used the deposited gold for other
purposes, most likely to cover gold futures contracts used to artificially suppress the price of gold to keep investors in the
equities markets, and the Central Banks are scrambling to find new gold to cover the shortfall and prevent a gold run.
So it is inevitable that suddenly France invades Mali, ostensibly to combat Al Qaeda, with the US joining in. Mali just
happens to be one of the world's largest gold producers with gold accounting for 80% of Mali exports. War for the
bankers does not get more obvious than that!
Mexico has demanded a physical audit of their gold bullion stored at the Bank of England, and along with Venezuela's vast oil
reserves (larger than Saudi Arabia), Venezuela's gold mines are a prize lusted after by all the Central Banks that played fast
and loose with other peoples' gold bullion.
So we can expect regime change if not outright invasion soon.
You have been raised by a public school system and media that constantly assures you that the reasons for all these wars
and assassinations are many and varied.
The US claims to bring democracy to the conquered lands (they haven't; the usual result of a US overthrow is the imposition
of a dictatorship, such as the 1953 CIA overthrow of Iran's democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and
the imposition of the Shah, or the 1973 CIA overthrow of Chile's democratically elected government of President Salvador
Allende, and the imposition of Augusto Pinochet), or to save a people from a cruel oppressor, revenge for 9-11, or that tired
worn-out catch all excuse for invasion, weapons of mass destruction. Assassinations are always passed off as "crazed lone
nuts" to obscure the real agenda.
The real agenda is simple. It is enslavement of the people by creation of a false sense of obligation.
That obligation is false because the Private Central Banking system, by design, always creates more debt than money with
which to pay that debt.
Private Central Banking is not science, it is a religion; a set of arbitrary rules created to benefit the priesthood, meaning
the owners of the Private Central Bank.
The fraud persists, with often lethal results, because the people are tricked into believing that this is the way life is suppoed to
be and no alternative exists or should be dreamt of.
The same was true of two earlier systems of enslavement, Rule by Divine Right and Slavery, both systems built to trick people
into obedience, and both now recognized by modern civilizatyion as illegitimate.
Now we are entering a time in human history where we will recognize that rule by debt, or rule by Private Central Bankers
issuing the public currency as a loan at interest, is equally illegitimate.
It only works as long as people allow themselves to believe that this is the way life is supposed to be.
But understand this above all; Private Central Banks do not exist to serve the people, the community, or the nation. Private
Central Banks exist to serve their owners, to make them rich beyond the dreams of Midas and all for the cost of ink, paper,
and the right bribe to the right official.
Behind all these wars, all these assassinations, the hundred million horrible deaths from all the wars lies a single policy of
dictatorship. The private central bankers allow rulers to rule only on the condition that the people of a nation be enslaved to
the private central banks.
Failing that, said ruler will be killed, and their nation invaded by those other nations enslaved to private central banks.
The so-called "clash of civilizations" we read about on the corporate media is really a war between banking systems, with the
private central bankers forcing themselves onto the rest of the world, no matter how many millions must die for it.
Indeed the constant hatemongering against Muslims lies in a simple fact. Like the ancient Christians (prior to the Knights
Templars private banking system) , Muslims forbid usury, or the lending of money at interest. And that is the reason our
government and media insist they must be killed or converted. They refuse to submit to currencies issued at interest. They
refuse to be debt slaves.
So off to war your children must go, to spill their blood for the money-junkies' gold. We barely survived the last two world wars.
In the nuclear/bioweapon age, are the private central bankers willing to risk incinerating the whole planet just to feed their
greed?
Apparently so. This brings us to the current situation in the Ukraine, Russia, and China.
The European Union had been courting the government of the Ukraine to merge with the EU, and more to the point, entangle
their economy with the private-owned European Central Bank.
The government of the Ukraine was considering the move, but had made no commitments. Part of their concern lay with the
conditions in other EU nations enslaved to the ECB, notably Cyprus, Greece, Spain, and Italy. So they were properly
cautious.
Then Russia stepped in with a better deal and the Ukraine, exercising the basic choice all consumers have to choose the best
product at the best price, dropped the EU and announced they were going to go with Russia's offer.
It was at that point that agents provocateurs flooded into the Ukraine, covertly funded by intelligence agency fronts like
CANVAS and USAID, stirring up trouble, while the western media proclaimed this was a popular revolution. Snipers shot at
people and this violence was blamed on then-President Yanukovich.
However a leaked recording of a phone call between the EU's Catherine Ashton and Estonia's Foreign Minister Urmas Paet
confirmed the snipers were working for the overthrow plotters, not the Ukrainian government. Urmas Paet has confirmed the
authenticity of that phone call.
This is a classic pattern of covert overthrow we have seen many times before.
Since the end of WW2, the US has covertly tried to overthrow the governments of 56 nations, succeeding 25 times.
Examples include the 1953 overthrow of Iran's elected government of Mohammed Mossadegh and the imposition of the Shah,
the 1973 overthrow of Chile's elected government of Salvador Allende and the imposition of the Pinochet dictatorship, and of
course, the current overthrow of Ukraine's elected government of Yanukovich and the imposition of the current unelected
government, which is already gutting the Ukraine's wealth to hand to the western bankers.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa have formed a parallel financial system called BRICS, officially launched on
January 1, 2015. As of this writing some 80 nations are ready to trade with BRICS in transactions that do not involve
the US dollar.
Despite US economic warfare against both Russia and China, the Ruble and Yuan are seen as more attractive for
international trade and banking than the US dollar, hence the US attempt to fan the Ukraine crisis into war with Russia, and
attempts to provoke North Korea as a back door to war with China.
The US Corporate Government: "These are the enemies of everything we hold dear in America: Your
children must kill them for us..."
Flag waving and propaganda aside, all modern wars are wars by and for the private bankers, fought and bled for by
third parties unaware of the true reason they are expected to gracefully be killed and croppled for.
The process is quite simple. As soon as the Private Central Bank issues its currency as a loan at interest, the public is forced
deeper and deeper into debt.
When the people are reluctant to borrow any more, that is when the Keynesian economists demand the government borrow
more to keep the pyramid scheme working.
When both the people and government refuse to borrow any more, that is when wars are started, to plunge everyone even
deeper into debt to pay for the war, then after the war to borrow more to rebuild.
When the war is over, the people have about the same as they did before the war, except the graveyards are far larger and
everyone is in debt to the private bankers for the next century. This is why Brown Brothers Harriman in New York was funding
the rise of Adolf Hitler.
As long as Private Central Banks are allowed to exist, inevitably as the night follows day there will be poverty,
hopelessness, and millions of deaths in endless World Wars, until the Earth itself is sacrificed in flames to Mammon.
The path to true peace on Earth lies in the abolishment of all private central banking everywhere, and a return to the
state-issued value-based currencies that allow nations and people to become prosperous.
"Banks do not have an obligation to promote the public good."
- Alexander Dielius, CEO, Germany, Austrian, Eastern Europe Goldman Sachs, 2010
"I am just a banker doing God's work."
- Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman Sachs, 2009
From the film "The International" which tells the story of the take-down of the corrupt Bank of Credit and Commerce International which was the 7th
largest private bank in the world.
'The question the people of the world should be asking is not whether to raise debt
ceilings, but rather why our governments, which are authorised to create and issue
interest-free money, instead borrow that money at interest from a privately-owned central
banking system, thereby plunging future generations into debt slavery to that bank?'
Three steps from Private Central Bank to World War:

Step 1: Enslave the nation to a private Central Bank issuing the public currency as a loan at interest to trap the
people in unpayable debt
Step 2: When the people cannot borrow any more, have the government borrow on their behalf (and without their
permissiono) to keep the pyramid scheme working
Step 3: When both the people and the government can no longer borrow, start a world war to conquer other
nations wealth to "balance the books"

9/11 Cover-Up Imploding As Mainstream Media Forced To Report Saudi Link

April 23 2016 | From: Infowars / FreeThoughtProject / Various
Establishment media finally coming clean about attack: New evidence reveals a link between Saudi
Arabia and 9/11, according to an international newspaper.
Ghassan Al-Sharbi, a Saudi bombmaker, is said to have taken flying lessons with the 9/11 hijackers and U.S.
investigators found his flight certificate in an envelope from the Saudi embassy in Washington, D.C., the
Australianreported, citing a recently declassified U.S. memo.
Related: Its Time to Admit: The 9/11 Truthers Were Right
The envelope points to the fundamental question hanging over us today: to what extent was the 9/11 plot
facilitated by individuals at the highest levels of the Saudi government? Asked Brian McGlinchey, the activist who
uncovered the 2003 memo known as Document 17.
Al-Sharbi was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and has since been held in Guantanamo Bay, which may indicate why President
Obama has kept the detention center open despite promising he would close it immediately during his 2008 presidential
campaign.
And Document 17 may explain why Saudi Arabia is freaking out right now, including the recent threat to dump nearly $750
billion in U.S. Treasury bonds and other assets if Congress passes a popular bill that would allow 9/11 victims to sue the
country.
And it may also explain why both House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are trying to
derail the bill, but they face a losing battle in the long-run: other mainstream outlets are finally coming clean about the Saudi
connection to 9/11.
The kingdoms involvement was deliberately covered up at the highest levels of our government, and the coverup
goes beyond locking up 28 pages of the Saudi report in a vault in the US Capitol basement, Paul Sperry of the
N.Y. Post reported. Investigations were throttled, co-conspirators were let off the hook.
Case agents Ive interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward
operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police
Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in
Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
After 60-Minutes Bombshell, White House Says Secret 9/11 Docs Could Be Declassified In 60 Days
Related: Censored 28 Pages of 911 Half Truths Plaguing Mainstream Media
On a recent episode of 60-Minutes, former Florida governor, Democratic U.S. Senator and onetime chairman of the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence, Bob Graham implicated a US ally for their role in the September 11th attacks.
I think its implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didnt speak English, most of whom had never
been in the United States before, many didnt have a high school education, could have carried out such a
complicated task without some support from within the United States, says Graham in the interview, implicating
Saudi Arabia for thier role in 9/11."
CBS reported that Graham and his Joint Inquiry co-chair in the House, former Representative Porter Goss (R-FL) - who
went on to be director of the CIA - say the 28 pages were excised from their report by the Bush Administration in the interest
of national security.
Graham wouldnt discuss the classified contents, but says the 28 pages outline a network of people he believes supported
hijackers in the U.S. He tells Steve Kroft he believes the hijackers were substantially supported by Saudi Arabia. Asked if
the support was from government, rich people or charities, the former senator replies, all of the above.
Until now, anyone who questioned the highly suspect official narrative on the 9/11 attacks has been labeled a conspiracy
theorist or a kook. But when current and former members of Congress, U.S. officials, and the 9/11 Commissioners
themselves call for the release of these 28-pages, which tells a different story of what happened that fateful day - people will
listen - and listen, they did.
On Tuesday, after Grahams appearance on 60-Minutes, he says he received a phone call - from the White House.
The Tampa Bay Times then spoke with Graham about that call.
Graham told the Tampa Bay Times that Brett Holmgren, a senior policy adviser to the assistant to the president
for Homeland Security, told him the declassification review of the documents withheld from a report issued by a
Joint Congressional Commission in 2003 will soon be completed.
Graham, who asked the president to declassify the records more than two years ago, said he asked how soon he
could expect a decision and was told one or two months.
Graham was co-chairman of a joint congressional committee that investigated the attacks.
The 28 pages were classified at the request of the FBI. Graham has been pushing for release of the documents since 2011
when he learned that the FBI had failed to disclose part of its investigation that included reports that high-ranking Saudi
Arabian officials provided financial aid and other help to the 19 hijackers who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon.
He says the FBI initially denied there were such reports but has since turned over 80,000 pages in a federal lawsuit seeking
the release of all reports on the investigation.
The decision makers at the White House have realized the public cares about it and there is an urgency to come to
a decision, Graham said, noting that he appearance on 60-minutes prompted the White House to finally address
the issue.
For over a decade, the families of the victims have demanded the full story on what happened and have only been met with
ridicule and closed doors.
This information being aired on mainstream television followed by an official response and plan to declassify the
information is historical and heartening news to those seeking the truth. Now, we the people may finally receive more insight
into the murderous actions on that day, bringing us closer to the closure we so sincerely deserve.

Emergency Meetings, Banker Summits, Crashing European Banks, And The Worst
Bank Reports Since The Great Recession
+ Is The American Debt-Note Factory Nearing Its End?
April 21 2016 | From: ActivistPost / PoliticalVelCraft / VeteransToday / Various
Just about every major banker and finance minister in the world is meeting in Washington, DC, last
week, following two rushed, secretive meetings of the Federal Reserve and another instantaneous
and rare meeting between the Fed Chair and the president of the United States.
These and other emergency bank meetings around the world cause one to wonder what is going down. Lets start
with a bullet list of the weeks big-bank events:
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors just held an expedited special meeting on Monday in closed-door
session.
The White House made an immediate announcement that the president was going to meet with Fed Chair Janet
Yellen right after Mondays special meeting and that Vice President Biden would be joining them.
The Federal Reserve very shortly posted an announcement of another expedited closed-door meeting for
Tuesday for the specific purpose of bank supervision.
A G-20 meeting of finance ministers and central-bank heads starts in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, too, and
continues through Wednesday.
Then on Thursday the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund meet in Washington.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta just revised US GDP growth for the first quarter to the precipice of recession
at 0.1%.
US banks are widely expected this week to report their worst quarter financially since the start of the Great
Recession.
The European Unions new bail-in procedures for failing banks were employed for the first time with Austrian
bank Heta Asset Resolution AG.
Italys minister of finance called an emergency meeting of Italian bankers to engage last resort measures for
dealing with 360-billion euros of bad loans in banks that have only 50 billion in capital.

China Launches Yuan Gold Fix

Its official. Overnight, China launched its gold-backed Yuan to boost its control over the gold and paper
currency market at the same time. Although, mainstream media are saying that it is a Yuan gold fix
where gold has a fix Yuan units equivalent, its basically the same banana.
Earlier, Deutsche Bank was forced to admit its culpability in rigging the prices of gold and silver in connivance with
other players in the precious metals market, which put resource rich countries at a gross disadvantage.
With Yuan basically the same as gold, and worthless fiat dollar not allowed to swap with Yuan, this is the beginning
of the end for the Federal Reserve fiat dollar.

President Obamas meeting with Fed Chair Yellen
It is rare for presidents to meet with the chair of the Federal Reserve. The last time President Obama met with Janet Yellen
was in November of 2014, a year and a half ago. It is even more rare for the vice president of the United States to join them.
In fact, Ive heard but havent verified that it has never happened in a suddenly called meeting with the Fed before.
For security reasons, the president and vice president dont regularly attend the same events.
There are, of course, many planning sessions or emergency meetings where they do get together, but not with the
head of the Federal Reserve.
Emergency meetings where the VP is included in the planning session would include situations related to dire national
security in case the VP winds up having to take over.
(George Bush and Dick Cheney were exceptional to the point that everyone commented on how often the VP was included
in meetings with the president, but I always figured that was because George Bush couldnt think and speak without Cheney
acting as the ventriloquist.)
In fact the meeting with the prez and vice prez is so rare that the White House is bending over backwards to assure the
entire nation that the president is not meeting with Yellen to try to influence the Fed, which is required to act independently of
politics (so they claim).
According to the White House, President Obama is meeting with the Fed chair and Biden to discuss the nations longer-term
economic outlook, even though Yellen just told the entire nation that the economy was strong and had arrived nearly back
at full health. The president says they will be comparing notes. Do their notes about the nations outlook
disagree? Compare notes sounds sufficiently vague to cover everything imaginable.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said both Obama and Yellen are focused on ways to expand economic
opportunities for the U.S. middle class. He called the meeting an opportunity for the two to trade notes while
emphasizing that Yellen makes decisions about monetary policy independently."
Either such meetings are, indeed, extremely rare, or the White House doth protest to much because they spent more time
this week emphasizing what the president was not going to do than what he was going to do in assuring us all that the
president will not try to influence Yellen.
The president has been pleased with the way that she has fulfilled what is a critically important job, Earnest said.
He added that Obama has the utmost respect for the independent nature of her role.
Earnest also said that, even in a confidential setting Obama would not have a conversation that would undermine the
Feds ability to make critical financial decisions independently.
Im waiting to here the next words - trust us!
If such meetings with the Fed are so rare they require careful defensive explanation, why the sudden call of the meeting,
oddly timed between two specially called, emergency meetings of the Fed - or, at least, expedited meetings of the Fed.
It cant just be that the president wants to plan what he will be saying at this weeks G-20 conference, if hes to speak there.
That kind of planning would happen in advance because one knows the conference is coming.
One striking peculiarity of the presidents meeting with the Fed is that it appeared to have been called immediately after the
Fed announced Mondays expedited meeting of the Board of Governors.
We are in an election cycle, and I already speculated in my last article that, with the anti-establishment, Fed-hating
candidates Sanders and Trump doing so well in their bids for the presidency, we could be sure the Administration would be
doing all it can with the Fed to put some accelerant on this economy and forestall the recession that I believe we have
already begun.

Another Point to Consider: Shanghai Shock April 19, 2016: Yuan Based Gold Standard
Chinas new gold-backed Yuan was issued on Tuesday April 19, 2016; the entire world now has the choice of a new
currency to use for international trade: The old US Dollar which is backed by nothing, or the new Chinese Yuan, which is
backed by gold. Which currency would YOU use?
The Great Tectonic Shift of Gold from West to East:

Switzerland plays a key role in the gold market because it is home to many big gold refiners, so its report confirms what
weve been saying about golds move out of the West to the strong hands of the East. Swiss report showed an incredible 80
percent of gold shipments went to Asia.
Bloomberg states that theres no evidence that China seeks to adopt a traditional gold standard. 6/5/2015
China is warning foreign banks that they must participate in Yuan-based gold price fixing. The first-ever Chinese
benchmark is set to launch in April of this year. 1/5/2016
If China were to partially back its yuan with gold it would require a gold price of $64,000 per ounce, 50 times gold bullions
price today, according to a recent article from respected Bloomberg Intelligence.
China has been quietly accumulating a significant amount of gold bullion in recent years. They are now the top producer and
top consumer of gold in the world. They are believed to keep all of their domestic production, plus import significant amounts
from other nations. In addition, they have been buying up gold mines around the globe at steep discounts and bringing home
gold they had stored in London, New York and Switzerland.
After accumulating all of this gold, along with their close ally Russia, many believe they will eventually break the metal free
from the price manipulation undertaken by the banks/governments in the United States and United Kingdom. Once price
discovery moves from West to East, they will allow the price to float to free-market levels and the value of all the gold they
have been accumulating will skyrocket.
Removing the gold price suppression will be accompanied by wholesale dumping of U.S. treasury bonds and test the worlds
faith in the US dollar debt-based fiat currency system.
This will give China, Russia and others a greater influence in world financial markets and better stability in their currencies. It
may give them a considerable strategic advantage over the United States, a nation that many believe no longer has the
gold that they claim.
Indeed, with a lack of a comprehensive audit and unwillingness of officials to allow one, many believe the gold is no longer in
Fort Knox.
Now we move to the really interesting part of this story. Not only has China been accumulating huge amounts of gold (on and
off record), but they also launched their own international gold trading platform on the SGE. It has become the largest
physical gold exchange in the world, with an estimated 52 times more physical gold withdrawals versus the predominantly
paper exchange of the COMEX.

Is the American debt-note Factory nearing its end?

It's becoming pretty obvious that the days of Federal Reserve System hegemony are now limited, in that much of
the world is dumping the US Petro Dollar and plans to shift to direct trade and use of Gold, Silver and commodity-
backed real currencies.
Everyday more and more people that didnt already know are now finding out that the Federal Reserve System is a
private corporation, owned by foreign Bloodline families, and is neither Federal nor a Bank.
They are finding out it is a private corporation, a franchisee of the privately owned Bank of London located in the City of
London, a private Khazarian Mafia nation-state with its own ambassadors and police.
The City of London is not a part of the UK and pays no taxes to England.

It was infiltrated and completely hijacked by the Rothschild Banking family by use of some crafty covert operations.
The most notable major covert operation by the Luciferian Rothschild money-changers was a stock price suppression
operation which allowed them to buy up vast quantities of stock at fire-sale prices. This was based on a false announcement
a victory of Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo, when it was just the opposite.
Another lessor but still very important covert operation was the use of Rothschild money power to place Oliver Cromwell in
power in England. This prepared the way for the Rothschilds to deeply infiltrate the City of London.
Cromwell was a Rothschild family puppet who was willing to harass, abuse and even murder Rothschild opposition which
allowed them to complete their hijacking of the City of London financial and Banking enterprises and make England the
center of their ancient Luciferian dark-side Babylonian Talmudic black-magick powers.
From their new home base in England they were able to expand their private central banking kingdom as a
replacement for the eroded and dying British Empire which when at it peak was claimed that the Sun never set upon
it it was so worldwide and vast.
It was the Rothschilds who were allegedly anointed by Lucifer (Satan) to become the functional head of the Khazarian Mafia,
the Worlds biggest Organized Crime Syndicate based on the power of the dark side.
Those who run the dark side using the RKM and its Worldwide occult network of Evil must first give up their souls to Lucifer
and must function as non-humans dedicated to living in an occult world of secret evil dedicated to performing the opposite of
everything that is good, loving, just and righteous.
Hierarchy advancement to the higher positions of extreme power, privilege, wealth and status is based on participation in evil
initiation rites based on deviant, perverted criminal acts such as satanic black masses, drug usage, pedophilia, child torture,
child-hunting at private hunting lodges, child sacrifice, and human vivisection all secretly videoed for later blackmail purposes
in the initiate ever goes outside their allowed behavioral parameters.
The RKM learned of the addictive nature of Turkish Opium and its medicinal and intoxicating powers, and its ability
to temporarily stop time and remove all worldly cares.
Battle between the British war ships and the Chinese junks from the first Opium War it is interesting that the RKM used its proprietary cutout the East
India company as its chief opium trafficker
The English had been buying a lot of tea, spices and silk from China and had paid them a lot of silver and gold in exchange
for these products which the English people demanded and paid high prices for.
The Rothschild decided they would traffick opium into China to create massive addictions and thereby recover all the silver
and gold they had paid out to the Chinese for tea, spices and silk. Opium was deployed by the Khazarian mafia associated
bloodline families as a weapon of covert economic war.
It didnt take too long for the Chinese warlords to figure this all out and fight back. Thus the Opium Wars occurring. English
troops prevailed but because they had suffered some losses negotiated treaties allowing some opium sales but with
significant curtailment.
Ever since, at various times, the Khazarian Mafia has continued to deploy illegal, habit forming narcotics that are able to steal
a persons very soul and dirty them up for life in most cases, an addiction that usually takes everything they have including
their life itself.
The Rothschild Khazarian Mafia (RKM) Beast is centered in the City of London (COL) and is run by the Luciferian
Rothschilds.
It is these Banksters who are reputed to have been anointed and empowered directly by Lucifer who are the head of the
occult beast known as the Hierarchy which uses the High Freemasonry, and the Worldwide Satanic and occult networks as
cover, and has continually trafficked illegal habit forming narcotics.
The RKM have trafficked numerous illegal drugs into America as covert weapons of war to not only destroy America the
Constitutional Republic but to raise vast off the books black funds for various worldwide covert criminal activities as well as
to make the Bloodline families participating in the drug trade rich beyond reason.
Many of these funds are used to finance vast mercenary operations of mind-kontrolled dupes pretending to be and acting like
bloodthirsty terrorists who have lost their souls and are no longer functionally human.
Because the RKM basically owns and control every head of most of the American Intel and Law Enforcement
Agencies they are basically immune from any arrest and prosecution for their massive illegal drug trafficking into
and across America and much of the World.
Only their small time cutouts are ever arrested as token LE prosecutions to fool everyone.
After many years of failed attempts, the Rothschild COL Banksters were able to buy off most members of the US Congress
and the sitting US President and were able to establish a foothold inside America with their passage of the Federal Reserve
Act of 1913.
President Andrew Jackson a true Constitutional Populist
President Andrew Jackson had driven the RKM Banksters out of America and felt they were evil. He was correct. He
fully understood that these COL Banksters were foreign based vipers and parasites.
Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the
bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when
you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I
shall ruin ten thousand families.
That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and
that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.
If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given to be used by themselves, not
to be delegated to individuals or corporations.
These are quotes from Andrew Jackson, who was a distinguished Constitutional President of the United States 1829-1837,
and who killed the RKM Bank and drove it out of America. Sadly, it successfully bribed its way back into America in 1913,
this time to last for over 100 years; and the RKM bank effectively parasitized millions of American soldiers lives and health,
along with most Americans earned wealth and assets.
Once these COL RKM Banksters were able to set up their stateside franchise, they were able to slowly and
systematically change the US Dollar from Gold and Silver Certificates (real money) to their own FRS Fiat
(counterfeit) money better known as Federal reserve notes.
These FRS notes are actually pernicious interest bearing debt-notes and slowly but surely all Gold and Silver backing was
removed in 1971 by Richard Nixon and they became debt-notes only.
This final act of the JFK Assassination coup detat occurred in 1971 by the man Richard Nixon who was deeply involved in
what he called that Bay of Pigs Thing with GHWB.
It was GHWB who served as the titular head of the Bush Crime cabal which ran the CIA as its personal tool on behalf of the
Fourth Reich and it was he who planned and ran the JFK assassination of the behalf of the Fourth Reich which was
functioning as a part of the RKM.
The Federal Reserve Board, 1913
This seems so counter-intuitive but when one pulls back the curtain one finds the RKM Babylonian Talmudic
Zionists at the core of the RKM who work with every other major crime syndicate including the Fourth Reich which
they set up and ran in the first place.
Henry Kissinger, Nixons national security advisor and high ranking secret RKM appointee of David Rockefeller and former
Soviet Mole (Soviet secret code-named according to FBI files of Bor).
David Rockefeller has been the head of the American RKM franchise. Kissinger negotiated the US Petro Dollar deal with the
Mideast Oil producers. The deal was the US Military and NATO will protect you and will make sure you have plenty of
profitable western markets only if you agree to accept US Dollars for your oil sales.
If you want to know the ugly truth about Heinz Kissinger (Bor) invest about 8 hours listening to Kay Griggs video affidavit, a
truly great American Hero like Gwenyth Todd and Sibel Edmonds.
This deal was made and soon the US Petro Dollar became the Worlds Reserve Currency, a distinct advantage for the FRS
franchisee of the COL RKM private central Banking System.
We now know for certain that the RKM private central banking system is international, and functions like an octopus
with many tentacles.
That is why insiders have called it both the Octopus and the Baby which is short for the current form of the ancient
Babylonian Talmudic black magick money from nothing Zionist system (aka the secret Sionist Luciferian occult black-
magick money-creation system).
Related: Babylonian Money Magic & How Modern "Commercial Law" Is Based On Ancient Babylonian Codes
And we know that without question a strong association between the RKM private banking octopus has always been
associated with both illegal narcotics and drug trafficking and the massive Rockefeller created oil cartel which started out as
the Seven Sisters and has now morphed into a smaller number of much larger corporations.
We know that one of the main methods used by the RKM to infiltrate and hijack many nations has been through the
infiltration and capture of control over the underworld or criminal organizations in each nation, as well as by
infiltrating their banking and corporations and consolidating them.
All the significant RKM leaders are initiated into secret societies using criminal, sadistic and highly deviant rituals, which
increase in intensity and severity at each higher level as one become initiated to move up to the next higher level in the RKM
system (aka the Hierarchy). Once the RKM gains control over the leaders in every sector, the rest is relatively easy.
And if these leaders go outside their prescribed and allowed parameters, they are sanctions and sometimes their evil
activities during initiations are weakened to the public through Press stooges for the Hierarchy.
We now have gained a simple understanding of how the RKM buys its way into (infiltrates), then hijacks large
corporations and then consolidates them into larger and larger entities that operate as virtual monopolies in
function only but not corporate structure.
The joke was on us, the American people with the Bankster Bailouts. The FRS threatened that there would be blood in the streets and martial law
would have to be declared unless the FRS and the too big to fail Wall Street Banks were bailed out by the US Taxpayers. This trick was successfully
pulled off TWICE
Once an industry is consolidated, be it oil, manufacturing or entertainment or media, it is easy for the RKM to exercise control
over these virtual monopolies because all of the CEOs are owned and controlled by the RKM or its Cutouts one way or
another.
Despite the incredible power and control the RKM has exercised over every American institution including the Pentagon,
Intel, Law Enforcement, Congress, the Judiciary and almost every administration, their system has been exposed and such
knowledge is rapidly diffusing to the masses who are beginning to connect the dots and have now had about enough.
The question of how long the American masses are going to continue to allow several wrinkled up old Luciferian
occult masters in wheel chairs to run their lives and destroy everything they ever worked for and America too, is
now becoming a prominent issue.
These wrinkled up old Satanic pedophile mass-murderers and child-sacrificers have run the Hierarchy and gained reach all
the way down to your street level through their control of local police, and state and federal agencies.
The answer seems to be not much longer. Why does this now seem a certainty? The answer will surprise many.
The private Federal Reserve System as well as it franchiser the City of London RKM are both nearing complete
collapse.
And this is all due to a strange convergence of different factors including the end of the US Petro Dollar as the oil sales
medium and the Worlds reserve Currency, the emergence of the BRICs Development bank, the Chinese AIIB and their new
swift type electronic exchange system, and numerous direct trade agreements between nations that avoid any use of the US
Dollar at all.
FRS insiders know that the days of the FRS are limited and because they realize the whole RKM system is collapsing under
a web of debt and runaway oil based derivatives that are now collapsing thanks to the Russians lowering their price of oil and
collapsing the price down to reasonable levels.
The FRS has been buying up US Treasury notes from the Chinese and other nations who
fear they are soon approaching a complete loss of value. Thus the FRS and the US
Treasury are monetizing debt, which means they are kiting up the whole system to
manipulate the statistics to look good, while the whole system nears ultimate collapse.
The top FRS officials know this as do the real owners of the FRS, who are the Bloodline families who have made immense
unjustified riches off of the American taxpayer and renter of their fake FRS Debt-notes, which are little more than mere
promises to repay the debt with pernicious accrued interest.
Obviously it is clear that the FRS is seeing themselves in a serious emergency state and is seeking consultations with the
Administration about it. After the special FRS Board Meeting this last Monday April 11th, FRS Chief Janet Yellon met with
President Obama. This itself seemed quite irregular and suggests something big is in the wind.
How can we be sure that the FRS nears complete collapse?

Their Controlled Major Mass Media have not been telling us the truth.
These six Major Media News Outlets who are a virtual monopoly claim in unison that the US unemployment rate is 5% or
less when it is at or near 40% or over 95 million able workers who are out of work.
This 40% figure does not include the many millions that are grossly under-employed.
Recently an associate of the FRS approached several key members of Congress and proposed that the USG
federalize the Federal Reserve System and take ownership for it.
Certainly this is some kind of an admission of near complete FRS insolvency and a coming financial storm.
But it is also a request for a get out of jail free card and an
apparent attempt to shift responsibility from the Bloodline
owners of the FRS to the US Public.
This is a crafty new way to monetize the debt by shifting

ownership of it to the American people.
It is being proposed because the FRS Bloodline families who

are the true stockholders and owners of the FRS realize that
they cannot squeeze much more value out of it anymore.
The FRS was used to covertly kite the system through built-in
inflation by using each local member bank loan to create money
from nothing and then charging pernicious usury to use what
should have been owned by the American people directly
themselves in the first place.
Soon there will be no alternative but to set up a new

American monetary system.
Most of the BRICS and AIIB members have already discussed

in secret that these various new currencies will have to be
linked to gold, silver and commodities as their backing for
money.
Some believe it will end up being digitally based but still linked
to Gold, Silver and commodities.
And there will have to be trade boards to adjust exchange rates

between trading countries in a mutually agreeable fashion.
It was all the unConstitutional Free trade Agreements and the mad addiction by Wall Street Banks to various pyramid Ponzi
scams such as the S&L scam and the Enron scam (CIA black fundraisers), the Mortgage balloon Scam, and addiction to out
of control derivatives and their continual repackaging and fraudulent sales as equity backed securities when they were
anything but securitized by equity, and actually were fraudulent paper.
And we still have numerous top corporate leaders claiming on behalf of the RKM that
America has a shortage of educated skilled workers and are continually begging for more
H1B foreign visad immigrant workers.
This claim is of course based on a lie and is designed to keep the wages low and to destroy America the Republic by
removing jobs from mainstream highly educated American workers.
And that the lies surrounding free trade and unrestricted immigration that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are
now exposing is just one major reason why their words are resonating with so many Americans.
Many Americans are starting to envision the new dream team of Trump for President with Bernie Sanders as his VP running
mate. Actually they agree on most of the most important issues. If both are cheated out of becoming their party candidates,
they should quit their parties and join forces to become independents which both have been before. This team if they could
iron out their differences would be unbeatable.
Bernie Sanders is popular among college students and the younger, and Donald Trump is popular among a wide spectrum,
including many African Americans and Hispanics which is turning out to be a surprise to many so-called political experts.
The American masses do not want the sleazy Clintons back in the White House with all Bills un-prosecuted rapes and
sexual abuse incidents, and Hillarys Whitewater scam, the Web Hubbell love child in the former First Family, the Vince
Foster murder and being rolled up in the W.H. rug incident, and her W.H. Waco bloodfest tantrum.
Hitlery is the Satanic RKMs choice, and we shall see if their current diminished state of American political power is great
enough to keep her out of jail for running a company covert op on her email, while getting a big chunk of money for herself or
enough fake votes to get her elected as POTUS.
So far, her course has been completely protected, and she has been promoted to a status similar to the Queen of England.
No wonder she acts so haughty and laughs off every good question without answering it.
Related: Shocking Hillary Quotes + Hillary's Emails Confirm France And US Killed Qaddafi For His Gold And Oil
She has the whole Hierarchy leadership behind her and is serving as a major Cutout right now. Of course they want her to be
elected POTUS. If elected, she will be open for Hierarchy business 24/7.
With Hillary everything is always for sale, everything to anybody with enough money, and believe you me, it takes a lot to get
what you want in DC these days.
But there are other secret forces at work here to expose her and block her, and these go deep within certain secret factions
in the Pentagon and some powerful Intel agencies, and even Majesty, the beyond-black group that is alleged to handle the
most sensitive Alien ET matters including secret negotiations and treaties with some such groups.
Far too many of their crimes were covered up and went unprosecuted because of their
being appointed by the RKM Hierarchy to serve as master RKM puppets.
The Establishment wants the Clintons back in power because with them everything is for sale 24/7 and this is what the RKM
members want so they can remain feeding off USG pork like pigs at the taxpayer trough.
Conclusion
As the RKM is now cornered by the rest of the World that is tired of their debt note private central Banksters Fiat
counterfeit currency scam, it is becoming obvious by the day that the RKM is losing power and soon the Hierarchy itself will
be taken apart at the seams.
Top Hierarchy members know this is happening and are scrambling to shift the FRS into the USG as a US Federal Agency
owned by We The People to create cover and provide an escape from the peasants and their pitchforks.
Many Americans are now learning that the US Congress is spending about 40% more than it takes in in Tax revenues.
This means that it must borrow more and more FRS Petro-Dollar debt-notes from the unending, elastic American Money
Factory which is a true monopoly and completely illegal and unConstititional.
If a law is unConstitutional, it is by definition illegal and no American has any obligation to obey it.
The only reason that 'We The People' pay taxes is because the RKM Banksters have
transformed this world into their own police state with their owned judicial system, and
their ability to use their unbridled power of the boot in your face and threatened
imprisonment to force compliance.
[They know that. Now you know that. Wake up and stand up.]
This year it has been reported tax revenues are up. This is of course due to the secret actions of the Plunge Protection
team which kites up stock with direct secret purchases and intercepts electronic trades using A.I. algorithms to make profits
not otherwise available.
You can bet the Plunge Protection team has also been making secret tax deposits through various complex means to kite up
the system and fool everyone.
When any government reached such a state that it has to borrow 40% or more money to balance its books, this is a scenario
that is certainly a formula for complete financial collapse.
And when you add so-called Free Trade Agreements, massive foreign immigration into the picture, H1B visas and a World
increasingly saturated in US Petro Dollars that are losing value by the day, you can see this is a formula for coming
catastrophe.
The rest of the World is now catching on and is deeply committed to constructing serious firewalls against the US Petro
Dollar such as BRICs, AIIB and direct trade agreements without the use of the US Petro Dollar.
The handwriting is on the wall, the days of the FRS and RKM World hegemony are now limited, and the end for them
is near.
100 Days - Claiming Back New Zealand

April 20 2016 | From: 100DaysToDemocracy
Horrified and shocked-she isnt the only one: This isnt the New Zealand our parents and
grandparents lived in* - and were certainly not the better for it.
So isnt it high time we started holding to account the politicians whove been so very largely responsible for this,
and for the fact that many New Zealanders are now finding it difficult to afford living here in what is (or was?)
our own country?
Its not a good sign when those returning from the UK, for example, comment on how much more expensive everything is
now food, electricity, very basic living costs.
Even more crucially, we now have the least affordable houses of any country in the world in relation to income although
we all remember Prime Minister John Key blatantly denying there was even a housing shortage in Auckland. How could he
have not known?
NZ Herald: Home truths: Can you afford to buy in New Zealand?
So perhaps its not surprising that PM John Key has been so very keen to get rid of the flag that they* and we have long
lived underthe one flying over us all. John Key wanted the Union Jack removed, and apparently, the politicized Chinese
with whom he gets on so very well agreed with him. Of course.
Related: What Is The Real Agenda Behind John Key's Drive To Change The New Zealand Flag: Due Authority - A
Very Silent Coup?
But not Hong Kong Chinese, fighting for basic freedoms against their predatory neighbour. Hong Kong Chinese apparently
value the Union Jack, saying it represents the freedoms they had under the British and no longer have, and that it expresses
the difference in values between Hong Kong and its over-authoritarian Communist government.
All the nonsense talked by Key and parroted by the inner circles of government about New Zealanders needing to discover
our national identity and our own place in the world is basically manipulation.
How many of us go to sleep fretting about our national identity?
Mind you, as its increasingly not being seen as our own country any more, this question is going to be raised but not as
the PM apparently wants. We pretty well knew our own place in the world in fact we owned our own place. But do we
now?
Increasingly New Zealanders feel that we dont. Nor will many of us have been impressed by learning that Key also sent a
text to former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw (whom weve recently seen in an advertisement for an Australian-owned
bank) and his team-mate, Dan Carter, asking them to watch his video promoting a flag change.
Whether this is appropriate behaviour for a Prime Minister, and whether sporting figures would be wiser to refrain from being
lured into looking too close to powerful politicians is another issue.
The PM, of course, has his devoted cheerleaders among the media, so perhaps its not so extraordinary as it would
otherwise be that we can guarantee many of them are managing not to look too closely at the essentially vulgar antics which
have been his trademark at a personal level.
However, more worryingly, what should be a proudly independent fourth estate manages to pretty well look the other way
and to barely, if at all, mention happenings which are so extraordinary that they should have us all shocked and horrified
not just the individual who heard, second-hand, of the one below.
It has been, culpably, so little reported that we should be doubly grateful to Senior Herald reporter, David Fisher, for making
us aware that the Prime Minister was the guest of honour at a private fundraising lunch held at an Auckland Chinese
restaurant.
The point is that it was hosted by the Change the Flag lobby group to raise cash from wealthy Chinese donors who
supported the flag change. A small handful of Nationals MPs were there, too.
It was all to fund a last-minute push for votes, including a pamphlet to send out just days before the voting started.
This small, exclusive lunch was not publicly advertised, and the Change the Flag chairman, Lewis Holden,
confirmed not the names of the donors, but that over $100,000 was raised for the entire campaign.
He admitted that some was donated by the Chinese donors who wanted the Union Jack gone from the New Zealand ensign,
Mr Holden commented naively, some would say.
In January, Taiwan elected its first female president after a furoreWe knew there was support in the Chinese community
because of the Union Jack" just before Election Day when a 16 year old Taiwanese singer for a girl band was forced to give
a forlorn apology for holding a Taiwanese flag on a TV show. China has refused to allow the 7.2 million people of Hong
Kong a free vote next year on deciding who will lead the city.
And reportedly, an uproar in Hong Kong over the disappearance of five dissident booksellers believed to be in the hands of
the Chinese security services has also understandably a had huge impact on public opinion in Taiwan.
This of course, is typical behaviour from a brutal Communist rgime which imprisons, tortures and even executes
dissidents (let alone its continued opposition to Chinese Christians, and its appalling record of farming the Falun
Gong to forcibly remove their organs for live transplants organs.
Not that New Zealand ever officially and publicly protests any more than many countries similarly turned a blind eye to the
appalling and barbarous treatment that Nazi Germany showed to its Jewish population, in World War 11.
And yet, does or does not a country have a moral responsibility to make its views publicly known about a trade partners
oppression of its own people? Is it okay to just look away, to pretend it isnt happening or doesnt really count?
Mr Holden should have specified that he was referring only to the increasingly large Communist Chinese community in this
country.
Other long-settled Chinese in New Zealand would not only disagree (including a highly respected academic who protested
in his youth at the butchery of Tiananmen Square) but are deeply concerned at the influence that Communist Chinese
interests are apparently having on our National Party government, dominated by its acknowledged authoritarian leader.
In fact, Mr Holden admitted he was pretty surprised that John Key agreed to come. Concerned New Zealanders who have
been asking what is happening to this country, and why we have the state we are now in, are not all surprised. After all, the
buck stops at the top.
Interestingly enough, too, back in November, 2015, a Facebook user John Miller spotted another flag design one of those
proposed appearing on the labelling for New Zealand apples in Shanghai. He asked, Do the Chinese know something
about the outcome of our flag referendum that we dont know yet?"
NZ Herald: Alternate flag design used in Shanghai

The same flag was reported as being flown at a butchers shop in the United Arab Emirates. Somebody must have been
pretty certain that the flag change was a done deal.
Three cheers for the New Zealanders who got the whiff, from somewhere, of a decaying rat, and put a stop to this attack on
a heritage we can be proud of, in spite of all the unfair, and highly suspect, disparaging of colonialism.
As Hong Kong can testify, and as other African nations show us, its a wise observation that there are far worse things than
colonisation, and that post-colonisation is apparently one of them.
Similar to the Prime Ministers former denial of any problem with the Auckland current housing market has been his
repudiating any connection with the uncontrolled immigration flooding the country.
The migration influx is breaking all records with, as reporter Hamish Rutherford informs us, the net gain last year being
equivalent to a city the size of Nelson. In one year alone
John Keys simplistic assertion that unrestricted immigration is of economic benefit to the country has long been
disproved. So why does he keep repeating it?
As Westpac senior economist Anne Boniface says, record immigration:
"Is helping to maintain a semblance of strong economic growth but the preponderance of people in the labour
market is keeping wage growth lower than would otherwise be.
And of course it is the unprecedented demand for housing from those flooding into the country, plus the ability of far more
wealthy immigrants to outbid New Zealanders for our own houses, which has us at crisis point although the government of
course is not acknowledging this.
Nor is the building of new houses anywhere near able to compensate for the extraordinary demand, not with virtually 68,000
in the year ended in February this year.
The result is not only a dramatic shortage of houses but of decent jobs (some now observably preferentially offered to
Chinese workers paid less by Chinese business owners and employers).
The flow-on effect includes shortages not only of housing and of wealthy property investors outbidding New Zealanders to
rent back what should be their own houses to them.
Theres now an unprecedented exodus to the provinces with a leap of house-buying driving house prices outside Auckland
up beyond the reach of local residents.
Pressure has increased on land, on hospitals and all other social services
So the questions are being asked:
Why is National, under its leader, John Key, more interested in protecting the interests of potential NZ migrants and
offshore investors over and above the large and growing number of Kiwis priced out of the market?
The comments keep coming that National has been in Government for 9 years and it has the power to effect change, but
that it wilfully does not because John Key thinks that rising house prices are good politics.
But if it isnt being brought home to more and more New Zealanders that it is shameful for our government to protect the
interests of people who dont even live here above those of New Zealanders themselves -then it should be.
But is there more to all this than a seemingly nave National Party leader having his own way? In the real world, where the
uber-wealthy are looking for bolt-holes to escape the increasing scrutiny of their governments, New Zealand has long been
viewed as a ripe plum ready for the picking.
Super-rich overseas owners, with obliging specialists lawyers to hand, have already hoovered up our high country sheep
stations and farms, some owning multiple properties, including our scenic assets and, seemingly whatever takes their
fancy (in spite of the OIOs supposed scrutiny of the value of these land grabs to New Zealanders).
It doesnt take anything more than commonsense to take on board the fact as more and more of our farms, our land and our
houses are bought up by immigrants or pass into overseas ownership, more and more New Zealanders are being squeezed
out of owning these.
Its a depressing scenario for the dairy sector as banks face possible billions in write-offs. John Key admits that low dairy
prices may see banks facing losses with farmers forced to sell, but, in a cavalier fashion dismisses the prospect as
normal for businesses.
This sort of pragmatism, an indifferent approach to those facing the devastating prospect of losing their family farms and
homes, walks past the point of who is going to be in a position to actually buy the land particularly when the Reserve Bank
states that under its severe scenario it is unclear whether there would be sufficient cash among buyers to absorb the added
number of farms which would inevitably be put up for sale.
Unclear in relation to New Zealand buyers, perhaps, but there is no shortage of finance from Chinese sources.
While a number of foreign nationals have been busy acquiring what they can, more or less under the radar, it is the very real
threat to our sovereignty from Communist Chinese interests underpinning Chinese investment which is most ominous.
A Financial Times article of March 2016 by Lucy Hornsby The Great Land Rush: Chinas Pengxin hits overseas hurdles
points to the marketing of Theland with where cows gaze on emerald grass below white clouds shaped like New Zealand.
It makes the point that Pengxin;
"A little-known Shanghai real estate developer that owns Theland, will become the worlds largest private
landowner if Australias authorities clear its most ambitious bid yet, to gain control of the grazing lands of the S
Kidman & Co cattle empire. That, plus holdings in New Zealand, makes Pengxin the boldest of Chinese
corporations investing in land, and has helped trigger a backlash."
It continues: The financial Times, in a series of reports, is examining governments and private investors
increasing interest in grand scale land deals. With the commodity supercycle ending, land the ultimate resource
could either become the next big thing or the source of cross-border disputes In November, Australia blocked
the A$350 million sale on security grounds. But there are further complications.
Pengxins bid for Kidman draws on its experience as Chinas largest land investor in New Zealand. However,
(reportedly) its expansion there has reached a limit only months after it announced plans to double its Kiwi assets
to NZ$1bn, or 50 farms. In reply to written questions from the FT, Terry Lee, the president of overseas investment
for Pengxin, wrote that investing in New Zealand farmlandhas been more challenging than we thought.
This is excellent news and is no doubt due to those very few reporters and columnists to whom New Zealanders owe
a great deal for their spotlighting of these issues as well as to those who have been asking the questions that our
government would apparently prefer not to answer.
What the Financial Times also noted was the understandable rising resentment in this country;
"After property documents, leaked to New Zealand media, showed buyers with Chinese surnames accounted for
half the purchases of Auckland homes worth more than NZ$1m.
Meanwhile, in Australia. Canberra is reviewing foreign investment rules, and has cut the threshold for approval of foreign
acquisitions of rural land from A$252m to A$15m.
Moreover, a new registry of foreign-owned agricultural land goes public this year. Already, in Australia, there is much more
scrutiny of foreign investors wanting to buy Australian housing stock, and each application must undergo appropriate review.
The paper further states that as Chinas urban sprawl consumes and pollutes farmland, Beijing has given tacit blessing to
agricultural investment overseas.
This is a considerable understatement. As a 60 Minutes programme pointed out, Chinese investors are being financially
equipped by the Chinese government to buy up as much in the way of productive farmland, stock, and business fed by this
industry as well as means of transport, including shipping for the benefit of China alone.
"Australia and New Zealand are top destinations because foreigners can own land outright, but resentment over
Chinese investors buying residential property has curdled the political environment.
In the eyes of New Zealanders it hasnt curdled it enough, given that the government has not moved to protect New
Zealanders from being disadvantaged in our own land.
Moreover, as one of the three primary obligations of government is the defence of the realm, it can be legitimately argued
that the government is failing in its responsibility to defend New Zealanders from these takeovers.
Why, it is increasingly asked, can foreigners still buy up own land outright? Why is it is still being allowed to
happen?
Reportedly, wooing Maori sellers and flying well-heeled Chinese tourists around New Zealand has paid well for those
promoting sales of our assets. It can also be legitimately argued that enthusiastically promoting Chinese tourism may be
working to our own disadvantage, for obvious reasons.
The fact, too, that Pengxin is reportedly building its own integrated dairy business, is a direct challenge to our already
struggling Fonterra, our major dairy exporter upon whom thousands of New Zealand farmers depend.
No wonder that global market forces are coming into conflict with local populations, given the fact that nobody is making
more land (except, in fact, the Communist Chinese, arousing disquiet through their aggressive military expansions as well
as through attempts to circumvent legal requirements within a host country) .
Yes, this comes from another political party. But don't let that fool you - notice how it doesn't matter which party is in power, they all follow the same
agenda. And so while Labour is critical as the opposition - nothing would change under their leadership
Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese studies at Kings College London, points out that China is a real problem for Australia
and New Zealand with its huge markets growth potential and very real needs. His warning is timely, namely, that
underneath;
China remains alien in terms of fundamental values and political beliefs."
The implications are clear, and as has been well stated, those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. The
lesson of the Trojan horse Timeo Danaos, et dona ferentes
I fear the Greeks, especially when they are bringing gifts is to all intents and purposes ignored by the John Key
government enthusing over a damaging flood of immigration and a level of foreign investment which threatens our own
productive economy.
A recent National Business Review editorial points out Chinese companies have so far this year bought more foreign
companies than during the whole of last year.
In the past few years, most of the interest has been in agri-business. Recent deals in New Zealand have included
dairy farms and factories, meat companies and horticultural ventures as well as companies such as PGG
Wrightson
The Chinese are also seeking high technology companies but this is proving difficultthe wave of purchases has
spread to the hospitality sector and entertainment.
An additional NBR editorial, discussing the revelations of the Panama Papers, notes that a third of the business of a law firm
involved has been in helping Chinese clients ship their money overseas and out of reach of the Communist regime.
A BBC report How Chinas wealth is sneaked abroad, implicates New Zealand as a major target for a property-
buying spree totalling US$ 32 billion around the world last year.
A featured comment will have resonated with many:

The government should be embarrassed by this not only have they turned a blind eye to the Communist
Chinese money coming into NZ (despite the anti-money laundering rules), they have allowed the Auckland
property market to be grossly inflated by a Chinese investors.
Where to from here? The lesson from all this is that China is trouble. Not only are its Communist values in direct contrast to
those of the democratic West, it is notorious for its electronic spying, including attempting to hack into government and
defence security systems.
This of course, will predictably, include our own a fact which raises the question: What was former left-leaning Prime
Minister Helen Clark thinking when she allowed, in fact welcomed a procession of top-ranking Chinese military officials
coming to be shown around New Zealand inspecting our military bases, our equipment and familiarising themselves with
our obvious inability to defend this small country?
Does anyone really believe she was simply ignorant of Communist Chinas ambition in this area? If not, what was
her motive in doing so?
And now, at the very time when concern about Chinese military aggression in the Pacific has America considering setting up
military bases in Australia, it needs to be far more widely known that that late in 2015, National s Defence Minister, Gerry
Brownlee, farcically lectured our giant, predatory neighbour, exhorting it to behave like a big country in the South China
sea (where it is causing tension with other regional powers, and with the USA.)
Sent of course by our Prime Minister, he thought it fit to sign a five-year military defence alliance with this Communist
country, while clumsily stating that New Zealands relationships with Chinese and US defence forces are not mutually
exclusive.
But in fact they are. Its almost incomprehensible that we should have signed such a military defence pact with this
aggressively confrontational country. Chinas Communist leadership, with its natural affinity for North Korea, is, for all its
trade alliances, no friend to the West a fact that most New Zealanders perceive even though Keys National government
is apparently determinedly avoiding facing this fact.
As a consequence, and given the weakness of what should be our major Opposition party, New Zealanders are well and
truly on the way to becoming tenants in our own country.
For this reason, even those who do not support the left-wing Chris Trotters political views, may well agree with his
statement that New Zealanders disengagement from the political process (in which we were once among the worlds most
enthusiastic participants) has been accompanied, and justified, by the widely held belief that politics has become an almost
entirely disreputable profession.
His vague assertion that the answer lies with, and in us the New Zealand electorate suggests no concrete solution.
But there is one. It does not matter that it would be a most unwelcome one to by far the majority of our politicians, and to
those with the money and influence to assist the government in its decision-making. And here I recall former Finance
Minister Ruth Richardson thanking millionaire Doug Myers, then Chairman of the New Zealand Business Roundtable for his
valuable help to her in her portfolio)
We all know that we have moved a long way from being a far more democratic country that we once were. The loss of our
freedoms has been gathering pace even freedom of speech let alone the ability to be genuinely involved in the decision-
making of our governments although this very much affects us.
Reforms are undertaken from time to time as with the now signalled, but well overdue simplification of our tax system. Too
little, too late for so many. But apart from our ability to routinely throw out governments which have caused perceivable
damage to our country, in the interval between our elections the government elected as the lesser of two evils inevitably
claims a mandate for actions for which it has no genuine mandate at all.
The solution? It is what the highly intelligent Swiss have long insisted on the reform of our political system so that any
legislation passed by Parliament, no matter what party is in power, nor what deal-making has gone on behind the scenes,
has to wait for 100 Days.
This mandatory stop on all proposed laws gives the people of the country time to examine it for fishhooks. If satisfied, they
allow it to pass. If they are not, it takes a very small proportion of their electorate (50,000 in a county with double our
population) to call for a special kind of referendum, the results of which are binding on their government.
The fact that this provision is there puts a stop to constant trade-offs, in contrast to the never-ending passing of legislation
which pours forth from our own government whereas Swiss parliamentarians meet only once a week, and are able to hold
down day jobs.
For more information on how the Swiss govern themselves, visit our website at www. 100days.co.nz
Above all, we need to remember that there is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come and there is
nothing more effective than individuals joining together to achieve a tipping point to insist on being genuinely part
of our countrys decision-making.
Controlling our politicians though the eminently achievable 100 days initiative, now well under way, is available to each of
us.
Each of us not everybody else. If you are concerned about what is happening to our country, please support us! We need
you all.

The Trillion Dollar Lawsuit

April 19 2016 | From: Ellaster
Part One: Neil Keenans battle Against the World Wide Conspiracy of Bankers
End of 2011 the Irish-American businessman Neil Keenan (agent of the Asian Dragon family) filed a claim in the
Federal court in New York. [1] Neil Keenans lawsuit is not just about the stolen bonds with a face value of 134,500
billion dollars.
Related: Neil Keenan / Group K: History & Events Timeline
It entails the largest fraud in the financial world. The story behind the claim exposes the corruption within the banking
industry. It also uncovers the involvement of world leaders with these corrupt practises and unveils the sinister agenda of the
Cabal (secret ruling elite, also called Illuminati). Furthermore it reveals the true motivations behind the Second World War
and 9/11.
And if the claimed amount of more than a trillion dollar is not spectacular enough, the list of defendants is at least as
impressive: Dal Bosco (financial advisor of the Vatican), the Italian government, Prime Minister Berlosconi, the United
Nations, Ban Ki-moon (UN), World Economic Forum and the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. [1]
One would almost think that this is not a serious case, but nothing could be further from the truth. This case is dead serious
and everything indicates that this story is the absolute truth. A chilling truth, at least for the Cabal, as this most likely will be
the sword of Damocles that hangs over their head.
The Claim
In June 2009 two Japanese men were arrested in the Italian Chiasso, near the Swiss border. The two Japanese, Yamaguchi
and Watanabe, carried in the double bottom of their suitcase Federal Reserve Bonds with a face value of 134,500 billion
dollar. [2]
The two were accused of having counterfeits in their possession and after the arrest their bonds were confiscated by the
Italian police. After they were brought before the court, they were quickly released and there is no police or legal report
anywhere to be found, neither in the Italian police record, nor at the Financial Police, nor at Interpol.
However, the confiscated bonds remained in the hands of the Italians and there is proof that they have been redeemed by
the Italian government and the Federal Reserve Bank in new York and placed in a financial program of the United Nations.
The History of the Dragon Bonds
In order to understand the origin of these bonds and their astronomical value, one needs to go back to the time of the silk
route. For thousands of years the West is engaged in trade with the East and particularly since the era of the East Indian
Trading Company this trade intensified.
Merchandise like silk, ceramics, spices and other valuable goods were imported from Asia. The Asians only accepted gold
as payment and this is how 85% of the worldwide gold ended up in the East.
This gold belonged to the Dragon family - Chinas dynastic rulers before the communists came to power - and is now spread
over various Asian countries: Indonesia, Thailand, South-Korean, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Taiwan. [3]
In order to regain this gold, the Cabal in the West made a secret agreement to plunder it from Asia by means of three world
wars. This plan dates from 1776, the year that the Illuminati was founded as well.
Later on in 1921, 18 years prior to when World War II would start, another secret agreement was signed by the American,
British and French government, the future Japanese Emperor Hirohito and the Chinese communist leaders, to start the
Second World War and steal the gold of the Dragon family. A copy of this agreement will be submitted in Neil Keenans
lawsuit.
Part of the plan was a false flag attack by a Japanese proxy that stole part of the gold in China in the twenties. [5] This
convinced the Dragon family to safely put away part of their gold in the Federal Reserve Bank in the US. The first part was
shipped in 1934 and in 1938 seven tankers fully loaded with gold-bars left for the US.
Example of Federal Reserve bond with face value of $ 100,000. Bonds with higher values, half a million to 100 million per bond, were also issued
In exchange the Dragon family received Federal Reserve Bonds with gigantic values, varying from a million to 100 million
dollar per bond. A condition of this deal was that the gold would be used to finance humanitarian projects to develop and
modernize Asia and Africa.
Bretton Woods Agreement
In 1944 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank were founded as part of the Bretton Woods agreement.
[6] This was the start of the current worldwide financial system. The US demanded that from then on the Federal Gold
Reserve would form the basis of the monetary system.
The 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement: Power Bloc Coup
At the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, from July 1 to
July 22, 1944. The agreement included the formation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and, most importantly, the proposed introduction of an
adjustable pegged foreign exchange rate system.
Currencies were pegged to gold and the IMF was given the authority to intervene when an imbalance of payments
arose.
The truth is that in 1944, Britain, France and United States were given a fifty-year term of Global Control over the
global financial system. The Agreement was supposed to develop and modernize the planet, when in fact,
Roosevelt was poisoned (assassinated) and then most of the worlds gold was taken off-market, blacklisted or
hidden in caves.
This allowed the fascist coup to finalize their fiat currency system control over the world. The military-industrial
complex, instead of developing the planet, would actually start controlling and stealing from the world.
It was a clever ruse to make sure that a large part of the gold in the hands of the Dragon family that was not part of the
Federal Reserve, would this way be non-tradable. The gold that was handed over to the Federal Reserve Bank was lent for
a period of 60 years. When this term ended in 1994 for the 1934 bonds the Dragon Family demanded their gold back.
Because the promises made by the West to modernize the third world by humanitarian projects were not kept and
furthermore the funds were used to finance various wars.
9/11 Was Related to 200,000 Tons of Gold
Because the Federal Reserve Bank did not want to return the gold, the Dragon family filed a lawsuit at the International
World Court in The Hague. The trial took place behind closed doors and when the Dragon family won the case the Federal
Reserve Bank was obligated to return 200,000 tons of gold.
The deadline when this gold had to be sent back was September 12 2001, the day after 9/11. The gold was stored in the
vaults in the basement of the World Trade Centre, and has disappeared ever since the attacks. Cantor Fitzgerald Securities
the shipping company that was in the possession of the insurance and transportation documents was located in WTC 1.
During the 9/11 attacks all 600 employees were killed and all documents vanished. The Treasury Police was located in WTC
7 and when this building came down, their documents disappeared as well.
The message to the Dragon family was loud and clear; the Fed did not have the intention to return the gold. [3]
The gold that had to be sent back was stored in the vault below the WTC. The shipping and insurance documents were
destroyed after WTC 1 and WTC 7 came down after the 9/11 attacks
The Chiasso Incident
In 2009 the Dragon family appointed the Irish-American businessman Neil Keenan to help them with the bonds. This
successful international businessman was experienced with negotiating with top diplomats and heads of state and was
known for his integrity. Keenan was also granted a mandate of the DFFI (Dragon Family Financial Instruments).
Yamaguchi and Keenan reviewing bonds and notes
According to Neil Keenan, also spokesperson for the Dragon family, another lawsuit took place after 9/11. Again the Federal
Reserve Bank was obligated to return the gold. Thereon the US sent false gold bars back to China, made of a worthless
tungsten covered by a layer of gold. [7]
In the meantime the Federal Reserve Bank neglected to pay the (full) interest over the bonds since the sixties. The yearly
interest is significantly higher than the value of the bonds when redeemed, where just a small part of the face value would
be paid out. Despite this, Keenan and the Dragon Family decided to redeem part of their bonds on a trial basis.
With the first part of bonds, just a very small amount, all the required authorisations were provided, a procedure that could
take a number of weeks. Then two representatives of the Dragon Family, the Japanese Yamaguchi and Watanabe travelled
to Italy with 134,500 billion dollar bonds in their possession.
After the arrest of the Japanese and the confiscation of their bonds a news paper article was published in an Italian
newspaper that the two had carried counterfeits. However, these bonds have never been formally declared false.
Furthermore, Neil Keenan has proof that Prime Minister Berlosconi redeemed these bonds and shared half of the loot with
the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. The redeemed bonds are placed in a program of the United Nations. This program
had a revenue of 20-30% and this profit went directly to the defendants.
Italian police with confiscated bonds. After Yamaguchis and Watanabes arrest an article in the Italian press claimed that the two were taken into
custody because they carried counterfeits.
Lies and Deceit at the Highest Level
That the bonds were secretly and illegitimately redeemed [8] would be discovered by Neil Keenan much later in the game.
After the arrest of Yamaguchi and Watanabe, Neil Keenan travelled to Italy and Switzerland to mediate with representatives
of the Italian government.
There he also met Dal Bosco that promised to help him to redeem the bonds through the Italian Treasury Police. Dal Bosco
was a financial advisor of the Vatican and treasurer of the P2 lodge in Rome. [9]
As part of the negotiations Keenan always took his own stack of bonds with him, a set comparable with Yamaguchis
confiscated set of bonds and with a face value of 145,500 billion dollars.
To make sure they would not be stolen when traveling he entrusted them with Dal Bosco, also knowing they could not be
redeemed without the required signature of Yamaguchi. At least, that is what he thought
However, a dirty game was played and Dal Bosco offered Neil Keenan a 100 million dollar bribe in return for transferring the
mandate of the DFFI (Dragon Family Financial Instruments) to them. The DFFI have an actual value of several trillions. Dal
Bosco assured Neil Keenan that it was safe to go along with the proposed deal and implied that the Italian government,
Vatican and P2 lodge agreed with the deal.
Dal Bosco:
So you see there is no possible way we can have a problem. We can cloak ourselves with the immunity shield
and everyone will go away. Just another day in the UN!
Ban Ki-moon of the UN had stated: From the very top were protected. There is no reason for anyone, including
Keenan, to worry about any sort of repercussions. The Federal Reserve Bank had no problems with the actions
about to be taken so long as some candy was tossed to them." [10]
Implications of Neil Keenans Lawsuit
The above story became the basis of Neil Keenans claim against the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and the other
defendants.
This will by no doubt become one of the most outstanding lawsuit of all times and the implications of this lawsuit are
enormous.
It will irrevocably lead to the Federal Reserve Banks bankruptcy. Many whistle-blowers have stated that the Federal
Reserve no longer has the gold and by no means can return it.
Furthermore, through the submitted evidence a network of large scale financial fraud will be exposed, a criminal cartel at the
highest level. A team of experts around Keenan, who call themselves Group K, prepares the final death blow. Group K
claims to have truck loads of evidence that irrefutably prove their claims. There are documents, audio recordings, bank
statements, etc.
Beginning of 2012 Neil Keenan redrew the lawsuit after the first judge was replaced by a corrupt judge with close
connections to Washington DC.
Moreover there was a jurisdiction problem, because part of the claim was addressed to several Italian parties and the
International United Nations, but filed in the US. Meanwhile Keenan now has collected enough evidence to undoubtedly
prove the complicity of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.
He expects to refile the case this year, first in New York, later in Europe. Hopefully the case will lead to many arrests and will
end the era of financial tyranny, the financial system as we know it today. [11]

Part Two: The End of Financial Tyranny is the Beginning of the Golden Age
Neil Keenans lawsuit was initially a claim and request for compensation for the stolen bonds. Now it has become a case
about the future of the world. There is something fundamentally wrong and that needs to be rectified. Team-K, a team of
experts like: former bankers, financial and legal advisors, assist Keenan in his mission to expose the Cabal (secret ruling
elite) and cut off their funds.
Keenan:
The Cabal has built the financial system and were trying to tear it down because its just no damn good. Because
they wanted to kill 5-6 billion people, out of 7 billion people. We woke up in time. [1]
Benjamin Fulford, investigative journalist and spokesperson for the White Dragon Society (an Asian secret society) verified
this. Members of the White Dragon Society eavesdropped on one of the conversations at the Bohemian Grove conference
and heard about their plans to start World War III and reduce the world population through a created pandemic (by means of
the SARS or Ebola virus). [2]
Subsequently Benjamin Fulford suggested that the Asians could stop this insane plan by cutting off their funds, because it
could not be executed without Chinese and Japanese money.
Keith Scott (former member of Group K) confirms this:
If you take the money away from them, you take away their chance to do anything. [] This lawsuit is the key to
doing that. Its like a key to Pandoras box that we are going to open.
The world is then going to see what is really going on. Then people will see that the entire system is corrupt. [3]
Chris Bosnahan (former top banker and now assisting Team-K) about the banking industry: The amount of corruption its
absolutely completely and utterly rotten with corruption. Its a dangerous machine to stop. [4]
Black Book of Codes
How corrupt the financial system really is becomes evident now Team-K gained access to the black banking system. Since
they got hold of a copy of the Black Book (also called the Book of Codes) they can get access to this black shadow
economy, which in size is at least as big as the official world economy.
Group K has a certified copy of the JP Morgan Blue Book with an overview of the Cabal families that illegally controlled the black shadow economy.
Chris Bosnahan:
The Black Books got the codes to open the black screens. [] You have to be a government level or royal family
to open up a black screen.
With the codes from the Black Book heads of state and royal families have access to add millions, even billions to
their own bank account. The black screens are a high-tech network where all the black money is been kept
hidden.
Bosnahan: The Black Books have the full history of every government that has been using leased gold [through
the Federal Reserve]from 1934 to today. The Black Book is the key to open everything that can not be argued with
and Neil has those books secured." [5]
95% of the money is nothing more than numbers in the computer. Just 5% of the money is physical money. Digital codes
provide access to this money and bankers do not want to give up these codes.
Through the codes in the Black Book and opening the black screens bankers have added ridiculous amounts of trillions of
dollars to their accounts; 33 times more than is present as capital in the total world economy. This happened especially
when the US went off the gold standard. According to Chris Bosnahan the current monetary system is rotten to the core and
can not be repaired.
With the codes to open these black screens, Group K can demonstrate that the gold of the Dragon family that was lent to
the Federal Reserve Bank and meant for humanitarian purposes, in reality was used for military and industrial purposes.
With the Black Book Keenan has a powerful weapon in his possession to prove the corruption of the Cabal.
An Indictment Against the Bilderberg Group and Other Secret Societies
The Cabal is not one group, but a number of various factions like the Illuminati, the Nazis, the Zionists and Jesuits, that
gather in secret societies used to roll out their world agenda.
These secret societies are also guilty of stealing large sums of money as becomes evident in an additional claim by Team-K
that was filed against all 12 Federal Reserve Banks in the US. [6] Quote:
All persons from several organizations of persons who consider themselves to be the global elite have illegally
used these assets - making fortunes for themselves, or otherwise benefiting from the illegal use of these accounts.
Key among these are members of (but not limited to):
The Committee of 300
Skull and Bones Society
The Bilderberg Society
The Trilateral Commission
Council on Foreign Relations"
The hidden agenda of these secret societies like the Bilderberg Group, is to create a world government and total control of
their own banking system. Dismantling the current socio-economic structures and destruction of the society as we now know
it, are part of this occult agenda.
The Dutch Royal family founded the Bilderberg Group. In an additional claim that Neil Keenan filed against the 12 Federal Banks in the US, the
Bilderberg Group is mentioned to be one of the secret societies that through the black screens large sums of money were credited to their own bank
accounts.
Murder and Bribes
As to no ones surprise, there were several murder attempt on Neil Keenans life and his team members. At least one person
from Team-K got killed, another survived a staged car accident.5 Additionally large sums of bribes were offered to Keenan
again and again to withdraw himself from the case or sell the Black Book of codes.
Amounts of 15 to 20 trillion were offered, even though its a mystery how one thinks to pay these amounts. But it doesnt
matter, as Keenan is not interested. This is a battle between good and evil.
He will not give up until the Federal Reserve Bank is brought down. After that he will target the European Union & the
European Central Bank. Neil Keenan:
We have a bunch of counterfeit notes and we want to be compensated for them. Were not talking a trillion or two,
were talking tons. And if they cant do it, well throw them into bankruptcy. End of European Union, bye bye. [7]
Neil Keenan
It is evident that something is at stake in the financial world. This is also illustrated by the large number of suicided bankers
since 2013. Suicided is a term used for people forced to commit suicide when put under enormous psychological pressure,
or being killed where their death appears the be the result of either suicide or a tragic accident.
This faith happened to at least 72 bankers. [8] Whether these people had to be eliminated as potential witnesses or if these
bankers are in any way related to Neil Keenans case is not clear, but it is an indication of major changes in the financial
world.
A Financial Reset and Mass-Arrests
Neil Keenans case will irrevocably lead to a reset of the world wide financial system. Besides this case there are other
initiatives to remove the power from the Cabal. Much of the world capital, placed in a Central World Fund, has been used for
their own benefit by the Cabal. They played Money Magick by means of computer games and created money based on a
gold reserve they in fact had no access to.
In the past years these financial institutes have been heavily infiltrated by White Hats (opponent of the Cabal), whereby
certain transactions by the Cabal could no longer go through the system and had their funds confiscated.
Thereby the Cabal has lost their access to the Central World Fund. This has caused huge panic among the Cabal. This was
also a reason for the 3/11 Fukushima attack and had everything to do with a confiscated banking transaction. [9]
When all secrets will be revealed through the trillion dollar lawsuit: the actual gold reserve, the fraud with the bonds, the
financing of wars, the truth behind 9/11, the fraud with the black screens, then the entire system comes crashing down.
Thats why a plan for a financial reset was developed.
This plan for the reset goes hand in hand with the plan of the freedom movement in the US and other countries to overthrow
the government and restore justice. There is a concrete mass arrest plan that includes hundred thousands of bankers and
politicians to be arrested.
According to Drake bailey - contact of whistle-blowers within the American military, the Pentagon, CIA and other government
agencies, as well as the US Militias - there are sufficient legal grounds to arrest (former) political leaders like Bush and
Obama. Neil Keenan is well connected with Drake Bailey to prepare this final death blow. [10]
Benjamin Fulford, investigative journalist, broke the story about the stolen bonds and the pending lawsuit.
Reason for Optimism: A New Golden Age
During the financial reset the banks will close down for a while. During this time the Cabals bank accounts will be frozen.
That will also be the end of the debt crisis. According to Benjamin Fulford (former bureau chief of Forbes Asia Pacific
edition) a financial reset will lead to the blossoming of the economy. He states that there is enough capital to completely
solve world poverty and environmental pollution.
Besides the capital in the current world economy, Asia is perched on top of a gold mine. [11] The amount of gold present in
Asia is not even closely related to the official gold standard. Most of the gold was never made part of the Federal Reserve
and has been deliberately kept off the books.
The exact amount of gold is up for debate, some claim it is 10 times larger, some even claim it is 100 time larger than the
official gold reserve.
The Dragon family who are the guardians over a large part of this gold reserve, wish to use it through the Global Collateral
Accounts for humanitarian purposes, but only after the Cabal is arrested.
It will be a big shock to many people when they realize how much gold there really exist and how this has been
systematically plundered from mankind. There is so much gold. And when this gold is being put into the system in a dosed
and responsibly fashion, there is enough capital to have 7 billion people live in prosperity.
That will be a major paradigm shift. There is no scarcity. And that is perhaps the Cabals biggest secret. Because once that
sinks into the peoples mind, they will demand their piece of the pie.

Panama Papers Have Caught UK Politicians Off Guard + John Key Testy With Media
Over Link To Foreign Trust?
April 17 2016 | From: VeteransToday / TVNZ / Various
Oh my, our prayers have been answered. The Panama Papers scam is being burned down as I
type, and with it what little reputation that corporate media and the think tank subverts thought
they might still have.
London has shot itself in both feet on the Panama Papers scam
The British papers were nothing more than a lynch mob with their over-the-top coverage that Putin was the new
Midas in Russia, when they never met a Russian thieving oligarch whom they did not love on sight, no matter how
unscrupulously they have obtained their wealth.
Related: The Panama Papers: The people have been deceived; a who's who and what's what
The idea of moral leadership coming out of Britain itself is a bad joke, as it treats its own people like coolies while being a
purveyor of modern colonialism to the best of its ability. This includes wanting to spend tens of billions on their Trident
nuclear submarine upgrade, so they can have their version of Teddy Roosevelts Big Stick.
The City of London is the unofficial pirate base of Europe, even having special laws passed to not have its
financial independence fiddled with. This is a more polished version of when the Italian-Jewish mob in the US
tried to take over Cuba to have their own country to operate from with diplomatic immunity. They forgot to get
Castro on board that effort.
VT will have its teeth in this story until there are none of the hypocritical scoundrels left to eat. I have an new submission in
NEO on the Brookings Institution assigning one of their in-house hacks, Clifford Gaddy, to do a damage control piece
that was out of this world.
Here we have AIPAC Zionist Martin Indyk hosting Erdogan last week at the Brookings Institution
He actually was pitching Putin as being behind the document release as a Russian psyop on the West, and Gaddy included
some of his friends as a smokescreen cover which he knew would not hurt him.
It was slickly done, but made the mistake of revealing how even the most prestigious Washington think tanks involve
themselves in major intelligence psyops as part of their team dues.
We published NEO - Christopher Blacks article yesterday that just nailed the uber Washington insiders who are behind
the funding of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which is now tainted forever Jim W. Dean.
John Key Testy With Media Over Link To Foreign Trust?

'You don't want to get your arses sued off you.' The Prime Minister has hit back at attention on whether he has
financial interests with a firm that specialises in setting up foreign trusts in New Zealand.
Related: New Zealand Prime Minister John Key declares deposit in trustee firm specialising in foreign trusts
The Prime Minister has been questioned about his links to Antipodes Trust Group, and is not happy about it
John Key has a short term deposit with Antipodes Trust Group to cover the costs of a family trust.
Mr Key says he has no foreign trust interests and his deposit is handled by Antipodes Trust Group because his long-time
personal lawyer moved to the firm.
"I don't deal with people unless they're highly ethical and they do things well. He's (Mr Key's lawyer, Ken Whitney)
changed firms and that might get everyone else excited but from my point of view it's just situation normal," said Mr
Key.
Asked if Mr Key would prefer that Antipodes Trust Group didn't advertise itself as being able to help out people wanting to
set up foreign trusts here, Mr Key said;
"There's a legitimate place, as I've been saying, for financial services when it comes to foreign trusts."
Addressing journalists after a business lunch in Wellington, Mr Key went on to say;
"As you guys were very careful last night, I think, in your coverage of these matters; the reason you were is
because you don't want to get your arses sued off you because actually they are a legitimate business. They're not
the Devil incarnated."
"I mean, if a political party wants to say, 'I'm no longer going to have foreign trusts being allowed to be registered
and supported in New Zealand' that's a call they can make. I mean, I think there'd be significant implications of
that."
It has been estimated that foreign trust business earns New Zealand around $24 million annually.
Focus on foreign trusts has arisen after the leak of the so-called Panama Papers suggesting that, in some cases, such
trusts are used to avoid paying tax.
Although Washington is using the so-called Panamanian Papers to wage a

propaganda war against politicians it despises, especially in Russia and China, this
operation has recently come to a screeching halt due to the lack of convincing
evidence in those papers.
So what we are witnessing now is simple allegations that the political elites of the two above mentioned countries
are engaged in some inappropriate financial activities.
Related: Journalist asserts Panama Papers are an inside job to eliminate tax haven competitors to the U.S.
However, this recent information attack has already backfired against Washington itself along with its closest allies. For
instance, weve learnt from these papers that London is most probably the global capital of money-laundering.
The responsibilities of Mossack Fonseca were reduced to purely technical functions while the actual transfer and
concealment of money was carried out by a number of banks and law firms.
The Times would note in one of its articles:

"Almost 2,000 British middlemen helped to create a network of offshore companies and move billions of pounds
secretly around the world, according to the Panama papers. Lawyers, accountants, banks and company formation
agents based in Britain were involved in setting up 32,000 of the 200,000 offshore companies incorporated by
Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm."
Furthermore, as it follows from yet another publication of The Times for over 16 years thousands of offshore companies that
own property in the Great Britain were providing the addresses of the largest UK largest law firms in the City like Clifford
Chance, Farrer & Co and Withers as their own.
For instance, A British banker Nigel Cowie who resided in North Korea for over two decades created an offshore finance
company that was allegedly used by the Pyongyang regime for arms trade and be able to carry on developing its nuclear
program, says The Guardian.
According to the released documents, Nigel Cowie was behind a Pyongyang front company, DCB Finance Limited,
registered in the British Virgin Islands.
The full responsibility for the unprecedented scale of shadowy business scheme being pulled out in the UK is being placed
on the British Prime Minister David Cameron. For instance, The Independent took a somewhat straightforward approach,
claiming:
"Whats most stinging is the sheer hypocrisy of Cameron. After all, this is the man who made great efforts to
increase funding for HMRC tax inspectors; abolished permanent non-dom status from April 2017 and proposed an
international anti-corruption drive in the light of the Fifa scandal.
David Cameron is a man with a reputation seemingly made of titanium. Really, who does this guy have to piss off
to merit serious calls for his resignation Considering its just been revealed that he did actually have a stake in his
fathers offshore investment fund, the lack of outrage is astonishing."
Related: Panama Papers: Why Arent There More American Names?

Its now clear that Ian Cameron was part of the scheme as a director of Blairmore Holdings Inc. On top of it The Guardian,
one of the 109 international media sources that was granted access to the Panamanian Papers, claims that over the past 30
years Blairmore Holdings Inc. hasnt been paying any taxes to the British treasury.
Moreover, in a brochure for investors released back in 2006 it would state (emphasis added):
"The directors intend that the affairs of the fund should be managed and conducted so that it does not become
resident in the UK for UK taxation purposes Accordingly the fund will not be subject to UK corporation tax or
income tax on its profits."
Those facts manifest the blatant hypocrisy of the British Prime Minister. After all, he publicly opposed offshore practices
back in May at the recent Anti-Corruption Summit in London, while claiming that his supporters would develop a
comprehensive legislation that will put an end to the illegal activities of the so-called British tax haven.
Back in 2012 David Cameron criticized offshore structures, while claiming that they are definitely not fair and not right. At a
G8 summit in Enniskillen three years. ago, he demanded even more transparency, claiming that:
"Ill continue to make the case for transparency with international partners, including the British overseas territories
and crown dependencies and I am willing to go further, and take concrete steps to force the pace."
Under these conditions, the British society seems to be determined to pursue the resignation of the vicious Prime
Minister, forcing a vote of no confidence to be taken.
Several British parliamentarians said that after the scandal with offshore companies, David Cameron should leave the
position of the deputy chairman of the Labour Party, while Labours deputy leader Tom Watson urged Cameron to hand over
all the money that he received through offshore companies to the British treasury.
But the Panamanian Papers have not simply exposed the shadow schemes that are constantly being at play in London, that
Washington and London have been desperate to impose upon the Middle East and Africa and other regions around the
world along with the so-called Western style democracy.
It also makes one to wonder why in recent decades the UK has become a safe heaven for numerous political foundations
for the struggle for democracy (such as The National Endowment for Democracy and the likes of it), and whether those are
also involved in such financial scams under the guise of fighting for the right cause?

The Truth Is Coming And It Cannot Be Stopped

April 16 2016 | From: TheSpiritScience
Shortly after Edward Snowden went public with his findings on the NSAs surveillance program, he
uttered some very powerful words: All I can say right now is the US Government is not going to
be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.
Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.Exciting words for most of the general population, but troubling for a
select few in Washington, New York, London and Brussels.
From Snowdens testimony, he covertly said from the very beginning that there was and is an end-game in play. Whos?
That is not yet made known.
What he is describing, believe it or not, is the true definition of Apocalypse The Lifting of the Veil, when all truths
become known and public Hidden information revealed, including, that pertaining to the purposeful use and abuse of the
common people of earth.
From Snowdens testimony, he covertly said from the very beginning that there was and is an end-game in play. Whos?
That is not yet made known.
Graffiti that is sympathetic to NSA leaker Edward Snowden is seen stenciled on the sidewalk on June 11, 2013 in San Francisco
In other words, there are white hats (good guys) within the matrix aimed at taking down the banking / political cabalists.
Though it may be difficult for many to believe that such powerful forces will see the darkness and corruption of their actions
and rituals exposed, the world is already seeing the beginning of such things come to lightand with much more to come.
For those who are interested, here is some key ingredients in the current dramas are unfolding.
Putin
In middle November of 2015 at the G-20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey, Vladimir Putin surprised most of the world when he
announced that Russias collected data showed that ISIL was (and probably still is at the time of this writing) being financed
by 40 countries and that some of those countries were G-20 members.
In other words, he stated at the G-20 Summit that members present at the gathering were helping to fund ISIL.
This call-out is of extreme magnitude.
What is most important to evaluate from this disclosure is that this situation is also still in play. Since that time, Russia has
publicly presented evidence that Turkey is one of those countries, but has not listed the other 39. Are we really to believe
Putin and Russia will just forget about this and not reveal the other 39 countries?
It seems much more likely that a chess game is being played behind the geopolitical scenes of the world and that Putin may
be simply waiting for the right time to reveal such things.
Imagine the ramifications, especially in the United States and Europe, when this high-level disclosure takes place. It is truly
not difficult to see why we are seeing the elite panic in so many different directions right now, as well as continue to
unsuccessfully attempt to propagandize Putin as the bad guy.
In reality, Putin could have several aces up his sleeves and the global elite know it.
FBI and Hillary Clinton

Related: Bringing Down Hillary
In early January 2016, former US attorney Joe Digenova stated that the FBI is coming to a critical mass point in its
investigation of Hillary Clinton. He followed that by saying that if the Department of Justice does not indict, the FBI is in a
position to basically revolt.
More easily put, the global elite are in a very difficult spot. Let the DoJ indict their preferred choice for president (Hillary), or
do not allow an indiction and watch the FBI and other intelligence agencies begin coming forth to the public en masse with
their evidence on this case and most likely evidence of even deeper stories.
Related: Former US Attorney: Grand Jury IS Investigating Hillary
Since January, much more has come to light as over 30,000 emails have been released. Just a few of the biggest
stories within these emails, as Wikileaks has revealed, include Hillarys extremist role in Libya, her push to privatize oil
Mexico, claiming a Sunni-Shiite war would be good for the West and Israel.
They also included her suggestion to overthrow a sovereign government in Syria and remove Assad.
Though some people believe all of this will lead to nothing and to her getting off the hook, that scenario is becoming
increasingly less likely as the Washington Post just a few days ago reported that at least 147 FBI agents are investigating
this case. Even if the DoJ would choose not to indict, do you really believe these 147+ FBI agents (and probably many other
intelligence agency members) would simply stay quiet? Or would they indeed revolt as Joe Digenova stated earlier?
The Dam Is About To Break
As we can see, there are huge stories all still in play and all affecting each other in different ways. What is clear is that we
are indeed in the quickening of this entire scheme and that the truth is continuing to come out at an ever-increasing rate.
In fact, we may already be at the critical mass point in relation to disclosures of truth occurring.
As Charlie Munger has said;
"The notion of critical mass-that comes out of physics is a very powerful model. Adding success factors so that a
bigger combination drives success, often in a non-linear fashion, as one is reminded by the concept of breakpoint
and the concept of critical mass in physics. You get a little bit more mass and you get a lollapalooza result.
Pillow talk these nights in Washington, New York, London, Brussels and elsewhere must be getting very interesting.
These stories are all incredibly important and deserves questioning and investigation, though one must ask what Snowden,
Wikileaks and Anonymous know on an even bigger story most media outlets have yet to touch:
The Global Collateral Accounts and their relation to global finance, politics and gold.
Lots of gold.
Why Is April Always A Big Month For Illuminati Mischief?

April 14 2016 | From: CosmicConvergence
First things first, when referring to the mythology of Aries, it is important to note that there are two
distinctions to make. Myths about Aries, the Ram are different from myths about Aries, the
Greek god (whose name is more often spelled Ares).
In Greek mythology Ares is the god of war. It is important to make a distinction between the role that Ares (Greek
mythology) plays and the role that his sister Athena (Greek mythology) plays. Athena was also a god (goddess) of
war, but unlike Ares, Athena was strategic and disciplined, where Ares was chaotic and destructive.
Having these two Greek gods represent the two different sides of war is very telling as to how the ancient Greeks viewed
war. If Athena was Napoleon then Ares was Rambo. Ares was known for his lust for blood, his chaotic nature, and his
thoughtless aggression.
"Interestingly enough some of these characteristics (to a much lesser extent) are attributed to those born under
Aries, the Ram, in astrology."
- The Mythology of Aries
Very few residents are aware but those who truly run the world consult astrology and mythology, numerology and mythology
just as much (and even more) than they refer to the hard sciences.
TPTB who rule the entire planet via a World Shadow Government (WSG) have always conceived and timed their major
events according to the stars. They employ the very best astrologers in existence and conduct their many enterprises
according to the arcana of occult astrology and numerology.
Its now quite obvious to those who have researched these matters that the very business of the ruling elites is perfectly
timed according to the confluence of astrology (e.g. Aries), numerology (e.g. power numbers 11, 22, and 33) and
chronology (e.g. Shemitah phenomenon).
Remember, the same cabal set up every major chronological system in use today. The World Shadow Government, in fact,
is quite meticulous about executing their black operations and implementing their false flag terror attacks on specific dates
and in certain places in order to greatly intensify their impact and desired effects on the planetary civilization.
Your Birth Date and Location, Your DNA and Bloodline
Did you know that those who own and operate Planet Earth, Inc. have access to the birth date and birth location of every
human born ever born here? They also have a massive database of the DNA records and bloodline history of every single
person alive today. All the birth records, which they have quick and easy access to, provide them with this information and
much, much more.
You see, in this way TPTB leave absolutely nothing to chance. On a certain level, that is, they know everything they
think they need to know about each one of us. Our karmic blueprints are revealed by our astrological birth chart just as our
destinies are carried through our bloodlines.
Of course, nature is only one piece of this very complicated puzzle of destiny. Its well known that nurture can change the
future of one whose nature is to do good or do evil. Nurture is really the controlling factor here, but not when the nature is so
strong that it cannot be overridden. This will occur when the karmic influences are so heavy that the destiny is literally
carved in stone.
Hence, they (TPTB) know - without any doubt - exactly who those old souls are who will be as predictably incorrigible as
they are intractable. As they say in America, theyve got their number - ALL OF THEM -both literally and figuratively. In so
doing the ruling cabal is quite aware of who precisely will give them problems and how they might do so.
If the renegades chart shows much promise as a writer or speaker, that individual will most likely become a Thomas Paine
or Thomas Jefferson or Sir Thomas More or Thomas Merton or Thomas Mann or Thomas Becket.
Yes, TPTB are also obsessed with onomastics which concerns itself with the esoteric meaning of ones personal name.
Both the numerology of a persons full name and its etymological origin reflect the energetic imprint associated with the
individuals current incarnation. If they happen to be born in the month of Aries they will be courageous and bold, impulsive
and pioneering. They will charge ahead with the missions in life like a battering ram.
What Does All of this Have to do With April of 2016?
The forgoing revelations were only presented in order to impress upon the reader that they really do have your number just
as they use their various numerological systems to control the Global Economic & Financial System.
Everything the ruling cabal does is perfectly timed and coordinated for maximum effect on human consciousness with the
explicit purpose of exerting complete control over the entire Earth realm. This is their domain, so they think, and they are
determined to keep the place in total lockdown - 24/7.
Toward that end they routinely use certain months to accomplish certain goals. The month of April has always been one of
their favorites for many reasons.
Not only is the weather very nice with Spring in full bloom, many folks around the world have full-blown Spring
Fever. However, it is the astrological energies associated with Aries which they really like to exploit.
They do this by capitalizing on the vibrations of war that are inherent in the very astrology and numerology of the month of
April. The window of April 15th through the end of April is usually a very active time for these inveterate war-makers.
"Were one to deeply research the individual astrology and numerology of all the government soldiers and
mercenary soldiers of fortune, it would become apparent how they have all been corralled on this battle flied or that
battleground in order to fight it out in good fashion.
Since most 'Men are originally from Mars' just as most 'Women are from Venus', it ought to be clear how easy it
has always been to move the warmongering males to just about any theater of war in Creation.
Likewise, TPTB are fully cognizant of how easy it is to ramp up the war cries with this battle cry or that battle hymn,
this military-adnminstered vaccine or that recreational war drug."
CAPTAGON: Tons Of Amphetamine Drugs Smuggled Into Syria To Fuel ISIS Terrorism
Now many will ask the question about Aries officially ending on or about April 19th or 20th from year to year. And, yes, thats
correct, except that there are different astrological systems at work here. As follows:
"Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this sign mostly between March 20 and April 19 each year. This time
duration is exactly the first month of Solar Hejri calendar (Farvardin). Under the sidereal zodiac, the sun currently
transits Aries from April 15 to May 15 (approximately)."
- Aries (astrology)
Heres an historical example of how TPTB use the earlier Aries energies to wage their wars of aggression around the globe.
"The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signaled the start of the Iraq War, which was
dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States (prior to 19 March, the mission in Iraq was called Operation
Enduring Freedom, a carryover from the War in Afghanistan)."
- 2003 invasion of Iraq
Not only was that war of conquest and control deliberately initiated on March 20, it was started on that date in order to
inaugurate a multi-year campaign of war and terrorism to transform the whole Middle East in to a regional theatre of war and
conflict.

Age conflicts
What Else has the Controlling Cabal Done During the Month of April?
Make no mistake about it, from the 15th to the 30th of April is the real playtime for the mischievous elites. This is when they
line up their battle plans for optimal effect both locally and globally.
The "Germans introduced poison gas on Apr 22, 1915" which was the first time chemical weapons had been
known to be used on a wide-scale basis.
Its also interesting that Adolf Hitler allegedly committed suicide on April 30 in 1945.
The Falklands War was officially begun on Friday, 2 April 1982.
On April 30, 1975 Saigon falls and the North Vietnamese take Saigon; the war in Vietnam ends.
The whole orchestrated Arab Spring was actually timed around the bellicose frequencies of the main month of
Spring - April.
Many countries throughout the Mideast saw the most violent protests and revolutions during March and April of
both 2011 and 2012.
The ongoing Syrian War began on 15 March, 2011.
The civil war in the Ukraine was started on 6 April 2014.
What follows is another list of momentous April events which fall into the very same April timeline. Each of these
meticulously manufactured happenings was highly consequential and fabricated to produce a desired outcome by the WSG.
- All Hell BreakS Loose in 2014
Back to April of 2016
April 17th has already been placed very high on the radar screen by various astrologers. Not only does this date fall
squarely within the preferred range of the ruling elites to make war or perpetrate crimes against humanity, it also serves as a
HUGE trigger point.
That does not necessarily mean that Sunday, April 17th will see a major earth-shattering event; rather, only that it may
trigger the energies toward a future conflagration of some sort. It may manifest as a single short-term calamitous event or
function as the start date for a long-term march to a World War III.
Heres what one astrologer (a practitioner of Jyotish) has written about this April:
- Vedic Astrologer Put The World On Notice For April 17th, 2016
The same Vedic astrologer had earlier presented her predictions about this April during her 2016 Forecast as follows:
- 2016 Vedic Astrology World Predictions
Whats the Real Point of this Discussion?
Whenever humanity sheds the light of awareness on a predicted event, they hold the power to transform it, for good or for ill.
This is exactly what happened with last years widely prophesied Shemitah financial breakdown and economic crash.
Yes, it happened in various ways, but was significantly diminished in its effects because so many had written and spoken
about it.
As follows:
"If, during the years leading up to 9/11, there were books written about a scheme to take down the Twin Towers via
a controlled demolition, would the false flag operation still have been executed?
If the internet was abuzz with conspiracy theories - before September 11, 2001 - about a cruise missile from the
U.S. military arsenal being fired at the Pentagon, would the perpetrators still have followed through?
If the modern-day prophets and televangelists, rabbis and ministers were warning the people of a grave event that
would close the stock market for a week and shut down the airline industry, would the conspiracy proceed as
planned?
The point is that the September Shemitah is very much a manmade event that would only have proceeded if there
was no likelihood of exposure. If those who conceive and coordinate the 7 year Shemitah crashes and collapses
dont want to be known, would they still implement their conspiratorial plot?
Particularly during the month of September of 2015 - the prognosticated biggest month of the millennium, why
would they dangerously give themselves away?"
- Septembers Shemitah: What really happened? What will the 2016 Super Shemitah bring?
Conclusion
Change your mind, change the world you live in.

Should you change your attitude toward whatever befalls you or your community, the whole world will conform itself to your
positive and life-affirming posture. The heavens will support your every effort to overcome the seemingly insurmountable
obstacles.
Whenever the light of consciousness is directly aimed at a particular worry or concern, an anxiety about the future or regret
about the past, it will slowly defuse it. The sheer knowledge of a prognosticated event can either magnify it or minimize it.
By facing the upcoming challenges of 2016 and beyond with great courage and undeterrable resolve, the unseen forces of
the Universe will congregate in your corner.
The more one understands that the predominant collective awareness, which is held around any specific prophecy, will
either bring it into Creation or keep it from manifesting. By becoming aware of these possibilities, much can be done to
prevent many of the more severe prophecies from occurring. After all, True Prophecy Is Always Uttered To Avert
Catastrophe, NOT Predict It.
True, there is no stopping some of the earth-shaking changes which are nearly upon us, but they can be alleviated. The
more we pay attention to the cosmic messages being delivered from on high daily, the more compelled we will be to make

Soft-Power Tax Dodge" + Rothschild's Primer: How To Launder Money In U.S. Real
Estate And Avoid "Blacklists"
April 10 2016 | From: ZeroHedge / ZeroHedge / Various
The Panama Papers are yet another example of how the 'Elite's' little games are being exposed in
increasingly shorter amounts of time. One almost wonders why they even bother.
There is actually too much to cover here, but following are a couple of articles to begin with and number of links
with further elaboration.

Earlier this week, for the first time we got a glimpse into some of the American names allegedly contained in the "Panama
Papers", largest ever leak. "Some", not all, and "allegedly" because as we said yesterday;
"one can't help but wonder: why not do a Wikileaks type data dump, one which reveals if not all the 2.6
terabytes of data due to security concerns, then at least the identities of these 441 US-based clients. After
all, with the rest of the world has already been extensively shamed, it's only fair to open US books as well."
The exact same question appeared in an interview conducted between Wired magazine and the director of the organization
that released the Panama Papers, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, or ICIJ, Gerard Ryle.
This is what Ryle said:
"Ryle says that the media organizations have no plans to release the full dataset, WikiLeaks-style, which
he argues would expose the sensitive information of innocent private individuals along with the public
figures on which the groups reporting has focused.
Were not WikiLeaks. Were trying to show that journalism can be done responsibly, Ryle says. He says he
advised the reporters from all the participating media outlets to go crazy, but tell us whats in the public interest for
your country.
Question aside about who it is that gets to decide which "innocent private individuals" are to be left alone, Wikileaks clearly
did not like being characterized as conducting "irresponsible" journalism - and to the contrary, many in the public arena have
called for another massive, distributed effort to get to the bottom of a 2.4TB treasure trove of data which a handful of
journalists will simply be unable to dig through - and on Twitter, accused the ICIJ of being a "Washington DC based Ford,
Soros funded soft-power tax-dodge" which "has a WikiLeaks problem."
Moments later, in a subsequent tweet it added that the "Putin attack was produced by OCCRP which targets Russia &
former USSR and was funded by USAID & Soros."
And so, a new contest is born: one between the "old" source of mega leaks, and the new one. We wonder if and when
Edward Snowden and/or Glenn Greenwald will also chime in.
But we are far more interested if now, that there appears to be a war brewing between Wikileaks and ICIJ, who what
"information" will be released next, and whether whatever comes out will put the entire Panama Papers project in a different
perspective, one which, as even Bloomberg has hinted, may have been to benefit the last remaining global tax haven
around, the United States itself, as well as the most notorious provider of "tax haven" services in in said country: Rothschild.
Here Is Rothschild's Primer How To Launder Money In U.S. Real Estate And Avoid
"Blacklists"
Anyone closely following the Panama Papers tax haven story, is by now familiar with the role that Rothschild plays
in providing virtually identical services right inside the US by the Rothschild Trust, as explained in our recent
article "Rothschild Humiliates Obama, Reveals That "America Is The Biggest Tax Haven In The World."
Related: New Zealand Government ignored foreign trust threat for over 15 years Transparency International NZ
They are also probably familiar with the name Andrew Penney profiled in January by Bloomberg as follows:
"Rothschild, the centuries-old European financial institution, has opened a trust company in Reno, Nev., a few
blocks from the Harrahs and Eldorado casinos. It is now moving the fortunes of wealthy foreign clients out of
offshore havens such as Bermuda, subject to the new international disclosure requirements, and into Rothschild-
run trusts in Nevada, which are exempt.
...
For financial advisers, the current state of play is simply a good business opportunity. In a draft of his San
Francisco presentation, Rothschilds Penney wrote that the U.S. "is effectively the biggest tax haven in the
world." The U.S., he added in language later excised from his prepared remarks, lacks the resources to enforce
foreign tax laws and has little appetite to do so.
So for all those now former Mossack Fonseca clients, or their "Panamanian" peers who have not been rooted out yet, or for
anyone else who wishes to open a domestic "trust", here is the primer straight from Rothschild Trust.
Key highlights:
In the year since we opened Rothschild Trust North America in Reno, Nevada, we have discovered the versatility
of Nevada trusts and their usefulness within the context of our international business.
Rothschild Trust has long embraced clients with US connections and the complexity this brings to planning. Our new US
offering has enabled us to offer creative solutions not only to anticipated situations, but also to unusual or complex scenarios
that require bespoke structures.
In our experience, Nevada trusts can be useful planning tools not only for onshore or first generation American
families, but also for foreign offshore families looking to invest in the US.
Such structures maintain privacy and block US estate tax liability, but are subject to two layers of income tax (at both
the corporate and shareholder level) as well as high levels of both income and capital gains tax, making them inefficient for
appreciating or income-generating property.
Worried about FATCA exposure abroad? Just use Rothschild domestically:
In the build-up to FATCA implementation, some US clients who had assets in offshore trusts for historic reasons
have decided to domesticate these structures to lower the burden of reporting. These domestications form part of the
general trend we have seen towards moving structures onshore.
The US, and Nevada in particular with its favourable trust laws and attractive state tax regime, offers a variety of
planning opportunities that can achieve complex planning aims with simplified reporting obligations and
compliance concerns.
Here Rothschild explains to foreigners how to launder money using U.S. real estate:
The foreign company contributes its shares to the US LLC and then liquidates, and the US corporate subsidiary it owns
elects to be treated as a qualifying sub-chapter S subsidiary. The end result is a single layer of US income tax and
reduced rates on income and capital gains tax, though in the case of property that has appreciated greatly in value
such as, for example, prime New York condominiums there can be a significant tax cost to the liquidation.
We have recently seen the usefulness of foreign Nevada trusts for offshore foreign investors in US real estate.
The appointment of a foreign protector to a trust that would otherwise qualify as a US domestic trust causes the trust to fail
the control prong of the US court and control test for trust situs, and therefore prevents the trust from qualifying as tax-
resident for US federal income tax.
Generally, this type of structure is useful for foreign offshore investors in US real estate (or other US situate
assets) who do not wish to file US tax returns in their own name and who, having no personal US nexus, would like to
minimize the amount of US tax payable on the investments.
This, of course, would not be possible if the National Association of Realtors was not complicit. Which it is, as we have
covered since 2012:
"Many of you reading this will undoubtedly have spent time in an international bank and been forced to sit through
countless hours of know your client and AML training. Fascinating to note that the National Association of
Realtors lobbied for and received a waiver from such regulation.
Thats right, realtors actually went to the U.S. government and said: we want to be able to help foreign
business oligarchs and other nefarious business people launder money through the real estate markets of
the United States and prevailed.
Here's their official position:
"NAR supports continued efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism through the regulation
of entities using a risk-based analysis. Any risk-based assessment would likely find very little risk of money
laundering involving real estate agents or brokers.
Regulations that would require real estate agents and brokers to adopt anti-money laundering programs
may prove to be burdensome and unnecessary given the existing ML/TF regulations that already apply to
United States financial institutions."
So far, regulations that prevent foreigners from laundering money in the US have indeed proven "burdenseome." The result:
record high luxury real estate prices which is now used by foreign oligarchs and money launderers as the modern day
"Swiss bank account", and which make this particular sector of US housing accessible only to other foreigners.
If you are still not convinced to use Rothschild, here is one more reason: to avoid a "blacklists" - after all, everyone
is anonymous:
Nevada foreign trusts may also prove attractive to settlors from politically sensitive countries who are
grappling with blacklists and strict CFC regulations as they seek to structure their assets.
And here is where Rothschild comes as close as it possibly could to putting that US-based tax havens are used for tax
evasion:
"The use of Nevada foreign trusts avoids blacklists and the stigma that can come with placing assets in
jurisdictions typically viewed as tax havens, without creating exposure to US income tax on non-US
income.
As more countries adopt blacklists, strict CFC regimes and other measures designed to shut-down perceived tax
havens, the flexibility and higher degree of certainty afforded by US trusts may become increasingly
attractive."\
The question, then, is why does the US not adopt such a regime which makes money laundering impossible for both
foreigners and in more limited instances, residents? For now, however, it hasn't and probably won't, despite Obama's
heartfelt appeal on Tuesday that "Tax avoidance is a big, global problem."
So for all those who can't wait to use Rothschild for all their "Trust" needs, here is your contact:

April 9 2016 | From: PaulCraigRoberts / Various
In my archives there is a column or two that introduces the reader to John Perkins important
book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. An EHM is an operative who sells the leadership of a
developing country on an economic plan or massive development project.
The Hit Man convinces a countrys government that borrowing large sums of money from US financial institutions
in order to finance the project will raise the countrys living standards. The borrower is assured that the project will
increase Gross Domestic Product and tax revenues and that these increases will allow the loan to be repaid.
Related: "There's An Insurrection Coming... The American People Are Sick & Tired Of Crony Capitalism"
However, the plan is designed to over-estimate the benefits so that the indebted country cannot pay the principal and
interest. As Perkins puts it, the plans are based on distorted financial analyses, inflated projections, and rigged accounting,
and if the deception doesnt work, threats and bribes are used to close the deal.
The next step in the deception is the appearance of the International Monetary Fund. The IMF tells the indebted country that
the IMF will save its credit rating by lending the money with which to repay the countrys creditors. The IMF loan is not a form
of aid. It merely replaces the countrys indebtedness to banks with indebtedness to the IMF.
To repay the IMF, the country has to accept an austerity plan and agree to sell national assets to private investors. Austerity
means cuts in social pensions, social services, employment and wages, and the budget savings are used to repay the IMF.
Privatization means selling oil, mineral and public infrastructure in order to repay the IMF.
The deal usually imposes an agreement to vote with the US in the UN and to accept US military bases.
Occasionally a countrys leader refuses the plan or the austerity and privatization. If bribes dont work, the US sends in the
jackals - assassins who remove the obstacle to the looting process.
Perkins book caused a sensation. It showed that the United States attitude of helpfulness toward poorer countries was only
a pretext for schemes to loot the countries. Perkins book sold more than a million copies and stayed on the New York Times
bestseller list for 73 weeks.
Now the book has been reissued with the addition of 14 new chapters and a 30-page listing of Hit Man activity during the
years 2004-2015.
Perkins shows that despite his revelations, the situation is worse than ever and has spread into the West itself. The
populations of Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the United States itself are now being looted by Hit Man activity.
Perkins book shows that the US is exceptional only in the unbridled violence it applies to others who get in its way. One of
the new chapters tells the story of France-Albert Rene, president of Seychelles, who threatened to reveal the illegal and
inhumane eviction of the residents of Diego Garcia by Britain and Washington so that the island could be converted into an
air base from which Washington could bomb noncompliant countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Washington sent in a team of jackels to murder the president of Seychelles, but the assassins were foiled. All but one were
captured, tried and sentenced to execution or prison, but a multi-million dollar bribe to Rene freed them. Rene got the
message and became compliant.
In the original printing of his book, Perkins tells the stories of how jackals arranged airplane crashes to get rid of Panamas
non-compliant president, Omar Torrijos, and Ecuadors non-compliant president, Jaime Roldos.
When Rafael Correa became president of Ecuador, he

refused to pay some of the illegitimate debts that had been
piled on Ecuador, closed the United States largest military
base in Latin America, forced the renegotiation of
exploitative oil contracts, ordered the central bank to use
funds deposited in US banks for domestic projects, and
consistently opposed Washingtons hegemonic control over
Latin America.
Correa had marked himself for overthrow or assassination.

However, Washington had just overthrown in a military coup
the democratically elected Honduran president, Manuel
Zelaya, whose policies favored the people of Honduras over
those of foreign interests.
Concerned that two military coups in succession against

reformist presidents would be noticed, to get rid of Correa
the CIA turned to the Ecuadoran police.
Led by a graduate of Washingtons School of the Americas,

the police moved to overthrow Correa but were
overpowered by the Ecuadoran military.
However, Correa got the message. He reversed his policies

toward American oil companies and announced that he
would auction off huge blocks of Eucadors rain forests to
the oil companies.
He closed down, Fundacion Pachamama, an organization

with which a reformed Perkins was associated that worked
to preserve Ecuadors rain forests and indigenous
populations.
Western banks backed up by the World Bank are even worse looters than the oil and timber companies. Perkins writes:
"Over the past three decades, sixty of the worlds poorest countries have paid $550 billion in principal and interest
on loans of $540 billion, yet they still owe a whopping $523 billion on those same loans.
The cost of servicing that debt is more than these countries spend on health or education and is twenty times the
amount they receive annually in foreign aid.
In addition, World Bank projects have brought untold suffering to some of the planets poorest people.
In the past ten years alone, such projects have forced an estimated 3.4 million people out of their homes; the
governments in these countries have beaten, tortured, and killed opponents of World Bank projects.
Perkins describes how Boeing plundered Washington state taxpayers. Using lobbyists, bribes, and blackmail threats to move
production facilities to another state, Boeing succeeded in having the Washington state legislature give the corporation a tax
break that diverted $8.7 billion into Boeings coffers from health care, education and other social services. The massive
subsidies legislated for the benefit of corporations are another form of rent extraction and Hit Man activity.
Perkins has a guilty conscience and still suffers from his role as a Hit Man for the evil empire, which has now turned to the
plunder of American citizens. He has done everything he can to make amends, but he reports that the system of exploitation
has multiplied many times and is now so commonplace that it no longer has to be hidden. Perkins writes:
"A major change is that this EHM system, today, is also at work in the United States and other economically
developed countries. It is everywhere. And there are many more variations on each of these tools. There are
hundreds of thousands more EHMs spread around the world.
They have created a truly global empire. They are working in the open as well as in the shadows. This system has
become so widely and deeply entrenched that it is the normal way of doing business and therefore is not alarming
to most people.
People have been so badly plundered by jobs offshoring and indebtedness that consumer demand cannot support profits.
Consequently, capitalism has turned to exploiting the West itself. Faced with rising resistance, the EHM system has armed
itself with:
"The PATRIOT Act, the militarization of police forces, a vast array of new surveillance technologies, the infiltration
and sabotage of the Occupy movement, and the dramatic expansion of privatized prisons.
The democratic process has been subverted by the Supreme Courts Citizens United ruling and other court decisions, by
corporate-funded political action committees, and by organizations such as the American Legislative Exchange Council
financed by the One Percent.
Cadres of lawyers, lobbyists, and strategists are hired to legalize corruption, and presstitutes work overtime to convince
gullible Americans that elections are real and represent the workings of democracy.
In a February 19, 2016 article in OpEdNews, Matt Peppe reports that the American colony of Puerto Rico is being driven into
the ground in order to satisfy foreign creditors.
The airport has been privatized, and the main highways have been privatized in a 40-year lease owned by a consortium
formed by a Goldman Sachs infrastructure investment fund. Puerto Ricans now pay private corporations for the use of
infrastructure that tax dollars built. Recently Puerto Ricos sales tax was raised 64% to 11.5%. A sales tax increase is
equivalent to a rise in inflation and results in a decline in real incomes.
Today the only difference between capitalism and gangsterism is that capitalism has succeeded in legalizing its gangsterism
and, thus, can strike a harder bargain than can the Mafia.
Perkins shows that the evil empire has the world in the grip of a death economy. He concludes that we need a
revolution in order to bury the death economy and birth the life economy. Dont look to politicians, neoliberal economists,
and presstitutes for any help.

The Very Nasty Truth About The Panama Papers?

April 6 2016 | From: ZeroHedge
This is a curly one. This topic is incredibly devisive and so this informaiton is offered only for your
consideration. The truth will out eventually. Given to the Mossad... to seed, fabricate and censor...
just like Wikileaks?
Last week when VT published information gotten during the interrogation of a Turkish intelligence agent, Sawash
Yeldiz, captured by Popular Party of Kurdistan (PPK) militia inside Syria, information tying Turkish President
Erdogan to the Brussels terror attacks, we saw how real leaks are dealt with.
The conduit for this information, European Department for Security and Information (DESI) Secretary General
Haissam Bou Said, was threatened by Israeli security agents who may have had a part in the Brussels attacks and,
moreover, DESI, an EU organization was threatened with sanctions for the leak. This is real investigative
journalism

"The Panama Papers are a scam". This is one claim, another is that this is that: "They are clearing house. The
people on the top are cleaning out the bottom and raising a lot of hell while at it."
These 'leaks" always seem to target the US Dtate Department's foreign policy enemies. Any prominent Americans
noted? No.
Real documents turned over to a Mossad run organization that now has dirt on even more people and more power to make
a very nasty world an even darker and nastier place. This is what Wikileaks was and is, as exposed by VT and Zbigniew
Brzezinski in December 2010.
The filth of the world will be protected and the innocent, should such things exist, can be targeted in the name of
investigative journalism as teams seed phony material in and launder out damage to the politicians, names like Netanyahu
and Bush, Cheney and Guiliani, Hollande and Blair, Kasich and Snyder, Gingrich and Romney, especially Romney.
The Panama Papers are a leak to a German newspaper of tens of thousands of corporate records from a law firm in
Panama that ran much of the worlds money laundering.

When a German newspaper received this dump over a year ago, they turned, unknowingly, to an organization actually run
by intelligence agencies, in fact those with the most to risk from the leak itself, the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists.
The entire time this trove has been available it should have been in the hands of forensic accountants working for
an agency or authority that none of us can name as such an agency simply doesnt exist. There is no international
authority without an agenda to serve drug cartels and money launderers.
As observed earlier, the Panama Papers looked more like a poor propaganda retaliation against Putin and Assad
than anything else, for the successful interruption to the Greater Israel plan of the Rothschilds."
- Geopolitics
For the last year, lists of owners of thousands of phony corporations used to launder money, have been reviewed by dozens
of journalists. The result thus far has been to mention soccer officials, attack Russian president Putin and to smear the
reputation of a well known worthless chiseler, Ian Cameron, father of slimeball David Cameron, long a blackmail victim tied
to the News of the World phone hacking scandal.
I am not going to begin to repeat what was found out about David Cameron, but sick is an understatement. From Craig
Murray:
But why focus on Russia? Russian wealth is only a tiny minority of the money hidden away with the aid of
Mossack Fonseca. In fact, it soon becomes obvious that the selective reporting is going to stink.
The Suddeutsche Zeitung, which received the leak, gives a detailed explanation of the methodology the corporate
media used to search the files. The main search they have done is for names associated with breaking UN
sanctions regimes. The Guardian reports this too and helpfully lists those countries as Zimbabwe, North Korea,
Russia and Syria.
The filtering of this Mossack Fonseca information by the corporate media follows a direct western governmental
agenda. There is no mention at all of use of Mossack Fonseca by massive western corporations or western
billionaires the main customers. And the Guardian is quick to reassure that much of the leaked material will
remain private.
What do you expect? The leak is being managed by the grandly but laughably named International Consortium of
Investigative Journalists, which is funded and organised entirely by the USAs Center for Public Integrity.
Their funders include:
Ford Foundation
Carnegie Endowment
Rockefeller Family Fund
W.K. Kellogg Foundation
Open Society Foundation (Soros)
Among many others. Do not expect a genuine expose of western capitalism. The dirty secrets of western
corporations will remain unpublished.
Expect hits at Russia, Iran and Syria and some tiny balancing western country like Iceland. A superannuated UK
peer or two will be sacrificed someone already with dementia.

Like Britains pedophile scandals, this one will lead the same way, the very old or targeted folks who got out of line will be
thrown to the wolves. The Mossad loves this dump, it gives them dirt on thousands of political leaders around the world they
can now control even better.
As a real investigative journalist, with real sources in government, with first person sources watching drugs being smuggled
out of Afghanistan, biological and chemical weapons out of Georgia or who has, with the team at VT, broken more stories in
the past decade than all other publications combined, I know something about these things.
James Corbett: What I Learned From The Panama Papers
I also worked in banking as senior officer of an offshore banking operation and as a UN representative working with
currency and development issues. I saw it all first hand and know the mechanics very well. I could teach this and probably
should.
We know who the biggest players are in the Panama Papers. The real list doesnt start with David Camerons dad or a FIFA
(soccer) official. Bain Capital and Mitt Romney, followed by the Walton family of Walmart fame, the Canadian Bronfmans,
Sheldon Adelson and, perhaps most newsworthy of all, several thousand corporations that tie the worlds drug cartels to
American political leaders, including members of congress, state governors, city mayors, members of the US Supreme
Court and a handful of former presidents. Craig Murray goes further in his analysis:
The corporate media the Guardian and BBC in the UK have exclusive access to the database which you and I
cannot see.
They are protecting themselves from even seeing western corporations sensitive information by only looking at
those documents which are brought up by specific searches such as UN sanctions busters. Never forget the
Guardian smashed its copies of the Snowden files on the instruction of MI6.
What if they did Mossack Fonseca database searches on the owners of all the corporate media and their
companies, and all the editors and senior corporate media journalists? What if they did Mossack Fonseca
searches on all the most senior people at the BBC? What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every donor to
the Center for Public Integrity and their companies?
What if they did Mossack Fonseca searches on every listed company in the western stock exchanges, and on
every western millionaire they could trace?
That would be much more interesting. I know Russia and China are corrupt, you dont have to tell me that. What if
you look at things that we might, here in the west, be able to rise up and do something about?
And what if you corporate lapdogs let the people see the actual data?

Back in 2012, two months prior to the presidential election, a former senior FBI official, actively employed by the FBI,
came to us. He had a story to tell. He said that Mitt Romney, working with a series of financial organizations in the US
including banks owned by the Walton family, maintained accounts overseas for hundreds of American political leaders.
The story of these accounts, not whose name was on them, but confirming they existed, hit the newspapers only a few short
days before, citing Romney as having thousands of secret bank accounts in the Cayman Islands.
We were told of how Romney and Carlos Salinas, former president of Mexico, met at Harvard Business School, and
together built an empire out of the drug cartels that, through buying 5 US Supreme Court Justices who passed Citizens
United, legalized drug cartel bribery, done through corporations set up by a law firm in Panama with offices around the
world.
The FBI had audio and video tapes of Romney with Maria Perez, his mistress in Cuba, daughter of former KGB chief Yuri
Andropov and his Cuban mistress. The tapes told of drug running and money laundering and more, so much more.
The source of the tapes was Mexican intelligence that had been after Salinas for years and had worked with our FBI source
who had been the liaison between the US and Mexico on drug investigations through the 1990s. Of course we have all of
these interviews recorded, some of them on YouTube.
The Pentagon missing trillions investigation died with the entire DC Able Danger team called in for an emergency meeting that day
The biggest single set of interlocking corporations that should have been exposed are tied to the nearly 3 trillion dollars
missing from the US Department of Defense, money disappeared when the investigative records were mysteriously the
victim of an aircraft accident on 9/11/2001 at the Pentagon, one of the most defended buildings on earth.
Not only were all the records destroyed but the 35 investigators were killed as well, having been asked to gather for a
meeting with a White House official who never showed up. But thats another story.
Snowden seems on board?
What we are saying is this, when former crimes were erased there was a reason. Bigger crimes were planned. Nearly every
defense and intelligence contractor, from Google Idea Groups to the Blackwater network and hundreds more, were all tied
to interlocking Panamanian corporations with ownership by members of congress, key Federal judges, and all of this run
through a legal advocacy group known as the Federalist Society.
The Panama Papers could eventually expose certainly who is really behind 9/11. In 2014, we were given documents out of
Russia that included a preliminary report on 9/11 by the US Department of Energy, outlining that event as nuclear and not
as the result of terrorism, not as it is typically defined. The term false flag terrorism would apply, however.

Wikileaks Reveals International Monetary Fund Plan To "Cause A Credit Event In

Greece And Destabilize Europe"
One of the recurring concerns involving Europe's seemingly perpetual economic, financial and
social crises, is that these have been largely predetermined, "scripted" and deliberate acts.
This is something the former head of the Bank of England admitted one month ago when Mervyn King said that
Europe's economic depression "is the result of "deliberate" policy choices made by EU elites.
It is also what AIG Banque strategist Bernard Connolly said back in 2008 when laying out "What Europe Wants"
To use global issues as excuses to extend its power:
Environmental issues: increase control over member countries; advance idea of global governance
Terrorism: use excuse for greater control over police and judicial issues; increase extent of surveillance
Global financial crisis: kill two birds (free market; Anglo-Saxon economies) with one stone (Europe-wide
regulator; attempts at global financial governance)
EMU: create a crisis to force introduction of European economic government
This morning we got another confirmation of how supernational organizations "plan" European crises in advance to further
their goals, when Wikileaks published the transcript of a teleconference that took place on March 19, 2016 between the top
two IMF officials in charge of managing the Greek debt crisis - Poul Thomsen, the head of the IMF's European Department,
and Delia Velkouleskou, the IMF Mission Chief for Greece.
In the transcript, the IMF staffers are caught on tape planning to tell Germany the organization would abandon the troika if
the IMF and the commission fail to reach an agreement on Greek debt relief.
More to the point, the IMF officials say that a threat of an imminent financial catastrophe as the Guardian puts it, is needed
to force other players into accepting its measures such as cutting Greek pensions and working conditions, or as Bloomberg
puts it, "considering a plan to cause a credit event in Greece and destabilize Europe."
According to the leaked conversation, the IMF - which has been pushing for a debt haircut for Greece ever since last
August's 3rd Greek bailout - believes a credit event as only thing that could trigger a Greek deal; the "event" is hinted as
taking place some time around the June 23 Brexit referendum.
As noted by Bloomberg, the leak shows officials linking Greek issue with U.K. referendum risking general political
destabilization in Europe.
The leaked transcript reveals how the IMF plans to use Greece as a pawn in its ongoing negotiation with Germany's
chancelleor in order to achieve the desired Greek debt reduction which Germany has been pointedly against: in the leak we
learn about the intention of IMF to threaten German Chancellor Angela Merkel to force her to accept the IMF's demands at a
critical point.
From the transcript:
THOMSEN: Well, I don't know. But this is... I think about it differently. What is going to bring it all to a decision
point? In the past there has been only one time when the decision has been made and then that was when
they were about to run out of money seriously and to default. Right?
VELKOULESKOU: Right!
THOMSEN: And possibly this is what is going to happen again. In that case, it drags on until July, and clearly
the Europeans are not going to have any discussions for a month before the Brexits and so, at some stage
they will want to take a break and then they want to start again after the European referendum.
VELKOULESKOU: That's right.
THOMSEN: That is one possibility. Another possibility is one that I thought would have happened already and I am
surprised that it has not happened, is that, because of the refugee situation, they take a decision... that they
want to come to a conclusion. Ok?
And the Germans raise the issue of the management... and basically we at that time say "Look, you Mrs. Merkel
you face a question, you have to think about what is more costly: to go ahead without the IMF, would the
Bundestag say 'The IMF is not on board'? or to pick the debt relief that we think that Greece needs in order to
keep us on board?" Right? That is really the issue.
***
VELKOULESKOU: I agree that we need an event, but I don't know what that will be. But I think Dijsselbloem is
trying not to generate an event, but to jump start this discussion somehow on debt, that essentially is about us
being on board or not at the end of the day.
THOMSEN: Yeah, but you know, that discussion of the measures and the discussion of the debt can go on
forever, until some high up.. until they hit the July payment or until the leaders decide that we need to come
to an agreement. But there is nothing in there that otherwise is going to force a compromise. Right? It is going to
go on forever.
The IMF is also shown as continuing to pull the strings of the Greek government which has so far refused to compromise on
any major reforms, as has been the case since the first bailout.
As the Guardian notes, Greek finance minister Euclid Tsakalotos has accused the IMF of imposing draconian measures,
including on pension reform. The transcript quotes Velculescu as saying: What is interesting though is that [Greece] did
give in they did give a little bit on both the income tax reform and on the both on the tax credit and the supplementary
pensions.
Thomsens view was that the Greeks are not even getting close [to coming] around to accept our views. Velculescu argued
that if [the Greek government] get pressured enough, they would But they dont have any incentive and they know that
the commission is willing to compromise, so that is the problem.
Below is Paul Mason's summary of what is shaping up as the next political scandal.
The International Monetary Fund has been caught, red handed, plotting to stage a credit event that
forces Greece to the edge of bankruptcy, using the pretext of the Brexit referendum.
No, this is not the plot of the next Bond movie. It is the transcript of a teleconference between the IMFs chief
negotiator, Poul Thomsen and Delia Velculescu, head of the IMF mission to Greece.
Released by Wikileaks, the discussion took place in Athens just before the IMF walked out of talks aimed at giving
Greece the green light for the next stage of its bailout.
The situation is: the IMF does not believe the numbers being used by both Greece and Europe to do the next
stage of the deal. It does not want to take part in the bailout. Meanwhile the EU cannot do the deal without the IMF
because the German parliament wont allow it.
***
Let me decode. An event is a financial crisis bringing Greece close to default. Just like last year, when
the banks closed, millions of people faced economic and psychological catastrophe.
Only this time, the IMF wants to inflict that catastrophe on a nation holding tens of thousands of refugees and
tasked with one of the most complex and legally dubious international border policing missions in modern history.
The Greek government is furious: we are not going to let the IMF play with fire, a source told me.
But the issue is out of Greek hands. In the end, as Thomsen hints in the transcript, only the European Commission
and above all the German government can decide to honour the terms of the deal it did to bail Greece out last July.
The transcript, though received with fury and incredulity in Greece, will drop like a bombshell into the Commission
and the ECB. It is they who are holding E300bn+ of Greek debt. It is the whole of Europe, in other words, that
the IMF is conspiring to hit with the shock doctrine.
The Greeks are understandably angry and confused; As Bloomberg reported earlier, "Greece wants to know whether
WikiLeaks report regarding IMF anticipating a Greek default at about the time of the U.K. June 23 referendum on its EU
membership is the funds official position" government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili says Saturday in e-mailed statement.
For its part, an IMF spokesman in e-mail Saturday said it doesnt "comment on leaks or supposed reports of internal
discussions."
Two side observations:
1. has a "Snowden" leaker now emerged at the IMF; if so we can expect many more such bombshell accounts in
the coming weeks; or perhaps the reason for the leak is less nuanced: a bugged hotel.
2. it may be another turbulent summer in Europe.

Credit Suisse On The Brink Of The Abyss
April 5 2016 | From: GlobalResearch
Traders Run Amok. Lack of Control, Further Losses, $90 Billion of Distressed Debt.
Credit Suisses ability to survive in its present form is threatened by the latest revelations of past mismanagement
and dysfunctional trading.

Credit Suisse Group is a Switzerland-based multinational financial services holding company, headquartered
in Zrich, that operates the Credit Suisse Bank and other financial services investments. The company is
organized as a stock corporation with four divisions: Investment Banking, Private Banking, Asset Management,
and a Shared Services Group that provides marketing and support to the other three divisions.
Credit Suisse was founded by Alfred Escher in 1856 under the name Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA, English:
Swiss Credit Institution) in order to fund the development of Switzerland's rail system. It issued loans that helped
create Switzerland's electrical grid and the European rail system.
It also helped develop the country's currency system and funded entrepreneurship. In the 1900s Credit Suisse
began shifting to retail banking in response to the elevation of the middle-class and the growing popularity of
savings accounts. Credit Suisse partnered with First Boston in 1978.
After a large failed loan put First Boston under financial stress, Credit Suisse bought a controlling share of the bank
in 1988. In the 1990s, Credit Suisse acquired the Winterthur Group, Swiss Volksbank, Swiss American Securities
Inc. (SASI) and Bank Leu among others. In the year 2000, it added the U.S. investment firm Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette.
The company restructured itself in 2002, 2004 and 2006. It was one of the least affected banks during the global
financial crisis, but afterwards began shrinking its investment business, executing layoffs and cutting costs.
During the period between 2008 and 2012, Germany, Brazil, and the United States began a series of
investigations into the use of Credit Suisse accounts for tax evasion. In May 2014, the company pleaded guilty to
decades of conspiring to help US citizens "hide their wealth" in order to avoid taxes, and agreed to pay $2.6 billion
in fines.

Follow this Blog which will carry the latest updates as the drama unfolds.
CS CEO Tidjane Thiam admitted in a video interview that the bank had followed a Pursuit of Revenue At All Costs policy
which had facilitated traders secretly holding high risk illiquid positions. Losses may eventually run into billions of
dollars. Updates here and here point to fractured internal communications.
The drama is unfolding of a massive amount of illiquid debt scrip. (Illiquid scrip or illiquidity refers to investments for which
there is no market, i.e. no buyers. Forced sales can result in massive price drops.) Credit Suisse wants to unload $90 billion
of thinly traded debt scrip in unfavourable conditions.
CSs weak position is an ironic reversal for a bank which often strove to exploit weaker counterparties. Thousands of those
exploited by the banks greed will regard it as due comeuppance. Lisa Abramowiczs video report on Credit Suisses
woes highlights poor risk management by senior officers.
The banks capital ratio was already down to 11.4% after the $6 billion capital raising. Those investors lost badly in the
massive drop in CSs share price. The bank can hardly expect further capital from that source.
The bank currently carries $380 billion of leverage. A loss of 10% on the $90 billion it is attempting to divest in the current
difficult market would cost $9 billion and drive the bank close to junk territory.
A loss of 5% on its $380 billion of leverage would take $19 billion off its balance sheet and could have it looking for a bailout.
Both scenarios are conservative if the uncertainties described below eventuate. Bank of America has just reiterated its Sell
Rating for Credit Suisse.
No Buffer from Credible Uncertainties
There is no buffer from credible uncertainties. The deflation cycle looks set in for a while and resource prices are heading
down (again). Chinas stock market is teetering (again) and The Street is confident a Chinese crash is imminent. ISIS want
to explode a dirty nuclear bomb and some respected experts are only surprised it hasnt already happened. Central banks
are playing a dangerous game which has the probable outcome that deflation will morph into stagflation for which there is
no known remedy.
Any significant combination of these would turn Credit Suisse into junk or worse. Thiam now expects further Q1 losses
following the banks massive Q4 loss of $5.75 billion.
CSs Crazy Creation It is Taking Out Catastrophe Insurance

Matt Levine has unpackaged the complexities of CSs drama. Here is a quick paraphrase: CS intends to sell its risk of a
catastrophe so that it doesnt need extra capital to cover it. It includes risk of big losses from illiquid investments and rogue-
trading. But it is more complex resembling a Mbius strip or a Klein bottle:
"Credit Suisse packaged that risk into securities, gave some of the securities to its own bankers as part of their
bonuses (surprise!), hedged the rest of them by buying yet another derivative from yet another counterparty, and
then agreed to fund any amounts that the counterparty owed under the derivative.
It is projected to include rogue-trading risk at the same time it is under criminal investigation for allowing rogue-trading. It is
projected to be sold as an Operational Risk insurance policy through Operational Re Ltd. (Bermuda!) claiming it is
catastrophe insurance with a relatively remote risk, with the expected loss said to be just 0.15%.
My estimate of the risk is multiples of that and I wouldnt want to litigate any claim in Bermuda.
To understand it, first read Matt Levine, then this, and this and this and then that and then this post.
The upshot of this is that the banks official 11.4% capital adequacy may be an over-estimate. Perhaps the bank is already
on the brink of a Liquidity Death Spiral. Note that about 40 percent of the bonds in the $1.4 trillion U.S. junk-debt
market didnt trade at all in the first two months of this year, and those that did were absolutely crushed. An estimated loss
of only 10% on the $90 billion fire sale may be over-optimistic.
The Insiders Version of the Story
Apart from Thiams video the other half is in the confessions of a top ex-Credit Suisse banker Mr X - who managed
some of its wealthiest billionaire clients. Mr X, who was identified as CS private banker Patrice Lescaudron, got the job
because he could speak Russian.
Banking experience? He had none before joining the bank.
Less than two years after joining Credit Suisse, he said, he was handling the banks biggest clients in the region. He
reportedly became one of Credit Suisses most successful bankers, until he was fired.
Credit Suisse said it suffered a 1.5 billion Swiss franc outflow of client funds. The bank has set aside 250 million Swiss
francs in provisions for litigation related to the bankers case, a person familiar with the matter said.
Bank Ignored Warnings for Years
We repeatedly warned the bank of a similar situation in Credit Suisse but they refused to accept our reports and covered
up the illegal activity instead.
An account manager who had no relevant experience, but was chosen because he could speak the right language.
In our case, his banking ignorance was convenient because there was a huge securities scam going on between various
bank people and entities in organized crime (outside the bank).
The Swiss accomplice had an arrest warrant out for him for wire fraud and money laundering. However, the Swiss ignored
the US arrest warrant.
Mr Xs inside information
Mr Xs inside information (courtesy of Matt Levine) makes for good TV drama:
He joined Credit Suisse at age 40 with no prior banking experience, and almost immediately got some big clients, including
Georgian politician-tycoon Bidzina Ivanishvili.
"Around April-May, I told myself that all my clients had to make profits so they would stop annoying me with their
criticism about lack of performance, he told bank investigators.
Can you imagine? Mr. X is new to banking, hes good at client relationships, he picks up some big clients, he has
fun going out to dinner with them or whatever.
Within weeks, he said, he was actively trading without permission, using Ivanishvilis credit line to buy about $100
million in Russian stocks and bonds. And: With markets around the world surging, he had soon more than made
up the missed gains, he said.
But: a trade lost money, there were margin calls to clients who werent aware they were trading on margin, and the whole
thing unraveled. He told investigators he could have prevented the margin calls with more unauthorized trading. But he was
trying to enjoy the last day of his Italian vacation, he said. I had had enough of this situation that had upset me so much.
Was It Pursuit of Revenue or Illegal Profit At All Costs?
It is apparent that the banks criminal convictions, its fractured internal communications and its bloated distressed debt were
intimately intertwined. The burning question is:
Were they all caused by policies designed to protect corporate crime through ingrained deliberate ignorance and
wilful blindness?
Thiams 7 minute video interview has inspired a multitude of media comments:
It is going from bad to worse for Credit Suisse.
Mr. Thiam said the problems in the investment bank were connected to the pursuit of revenue at all costs.

Liquidity Death Spiral Traps Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse CEO Blindsided as Bank Added to Risky Positions
There was clearly an active decision to retain illiquids that CS took which other firms didnt take
Thiam said he was blindsided by a buildup of illiquid trading positions that will probably spark a first-quarter loss, and
pledged to make deeper cost cuts.
For him to say he was surprised by the size of the position is clearly not good .. It highlights, at best, historic control
failures and is not good for confidence.
The shares dropped to the lowest since 1989 last month and are down 33 percent this year.
Thiam also warned trading revenues are expected to fall by up to 45 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.
But investors should know there is no quick fix for a bank the size of Credit Suisse.
Fixed-income revenue was down 61 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter
Thiam says his bank will report a bad first quarter
CFTC Fines Credit Suisse $665,000 Over Futures Debacle and giving the regulator false information.
The bank suffered $258 million of writedowns this year through March 11, and $495 million of losses in the fourth quarter,
because of its holdings of distressed debt, leveraged loans and securitized products.
Apparently people at Credit Suisse dont talk to each other?
if I ever got hired by an investment bank to be its CEO, I would spend my first week or two just sort of wandering around
the trading floors, sidling up to people to ask questions like so do you have any illiquid credit positions that might trigger oh
say $1 billion of write-downs?
Credit Suisse Confusion on Costly Trades Adds to CEOs Woes
Credit Suisses $90 Billion Bitter Pill
As any trader knows, when a big player like Credit Suisse exits, its a shock for everyone involved. Thats even more
true when the market is highly illiquid.
How is the bank going to reduce leverage in its global markets unit to $290 billion from $380 billion by the end of 2016?
Thats $90 billion of assets that may be unloaded at fire-sale prices. If these positions are illiquid, which some of them
seem to be, it could have a major impact on several markets.

Dutch Investigators Raid Shell Headquarters In Multinational Corruption Probe
April 4 2016 | From: HumansAreFree
The Royal Dutch Shell has been drawn into a multinational corruption probe related to the 2011
Nigerian oil deal, British media reported Wednesday.
British and Italian authorities placed Shell and Italys Eni under investigation for the $1.1 billion joint purchase
of the oil block in mid-2014.
"Representatives of the Dutch Financial Intelligence and Investigation Service and the Dutch public prosecutor
recently visited Shell at its headquarters.
The visit was related to OPL 245, an offshore block in Nigeria that was the subject of a series of longstanding
disputes with the federal government of Nigeria," Shell said in a statement quoted by The Financial Times daily.
The company confirmed earlier reports of being under investigation by prosecutors in Milan relating to the same purchase,
noting that it is cooperating with officials in both countries.
Most of the $1.1 billion is believed to have gone to the Nigerian governments bank account in London. Prosecutors,
however, are investigating whether the ultimate beneficiary was a fake company allegedly set up by Nigerias former
Petroleum Minister Dan Etete.
The Wall Street Journal cites Italian court documents as saying Italian prosecutors are investigating whether Shell and Eni
had been aware of the moneys final destination. The OPL245 is estimated to contain 9 billion barrels of oil.
Green Climate Fund: Where Big Banks Profit Again from Crisis They Helped Create
April 1 2016 | From: CommonDreams
Letting big financial institutions manage climate adaptation funds 'would pose serious reputational
and moral risk' to global body
"There is no profit to be made in building the resilience of those adversely impacted by climate change," says Sam Ogallah of the Pan African
Climate Justice Alliance.
As the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the financial mechanism for the UN climate agency, meets this week in South
Korea, more than 170 civil society groups are calling on the international body to reject bids from big banks HSBC
and Crdit Agricole to receive and manage funds to help poorer nations tackle climate change.
Comment: This is poetry. A farce within a farce. Zombie banks, completely unnecessary fossil fuels and fraudulent
man-made climate change (minus the chemtrails) all mixed up into a NWO clusterf*ck.
Given their role in financing climate pollution and their poor records on human and environmental rights, approving the
financial giants' applications would run counter to the Fund's goals, the groups say.
"Creating new business for big banks with large fossil fuel portfolios and poor records on human rights and
financial scandal would undermine the very purpose of the Fund," said Karen Orenstein of Friends of the Earth
U.S. on Monday.
"There is no profit to be made in building the resilience of those adversely impacted by climate change," added
Sam Ogallah of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance.
"Public funds must be used to support local communities in developing countries, not to subsidize big banks."
What's more, "accrediting HSBC and Crdit Agricole would be inconsistent with...the Paris Agreement," said
Annaka Peterson of Oxfam, referring to the deal hammered out at the COP21 climate talks.
"Any private sector partner of the GCF must have a credible strategy in place to make its entire portfolio and
operations consistent with keeping global temperature rise to no more than 2 C, let alone well below 1.5 C."
Friends of the Earth, Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, and Oxfam are just three of 172 NGOs that released
a statement (pdf) earlier this month arguing that offering accreditation to HSBC and Crdit Agricole:
"Would pose serious reputational and moral risk to the GCF" due to the banks' historic conduct.
Including:
Well-documented involvement in recent money laundering or other fiduciary mismanagement scandals;
Large exposure to the coal industry and other climate polluting sectors; and
Poor-quality policies and weak compliance arrangements meant to manage the social, gender, and environmental
impacts of their lending, and consequent harm on-the-ground.
For example, a report from BankTrack has shown that HSBC and Crdit Agricole provided $7 billion and $9.5 billion,
respectively, to the coal industry between 2009 and 2014, "and their coal financing does not show a clear downward
trend," notes BankTrack's Yann Louvel.
The Fund's board meeting runs Tuesday through Thursday in Songdo, South Korea. GCF executive director Hla
Cheikhrouhou told the Thomson Reuters Foundation last week that she will ask for an increase of between 80 and 120 new
staff in order to meet its targets. She also said it was too early to say whether the Fund could meet the board's goal to
allocate $2.5 billion in 2016.
This isn't the first time the Fund has engendered criticism from climate justice groups or frontline communities, who say
developed nations, despite their role in driving global warming, have been slow to pony up the necessary - and just -
financing.
Last year, environmental and social justice organizations expressed outrage when the Fund accredited Deutsche Bank, one
of the worlds largest financiers of coal, to receive and distribute climate adaptation and mitigation funds.
"We want the Green Climate Fund to succeed," groups wrote at the time. "But for it to do so, it needs to change
direction away from accrediting controversial big banks that are heavily invested in fossil fuels and thus actually
exacerbating climate change. If the [Green Climate Fund] continues in such a direction, this would reinforce our
fears that in the near future we may have to protest an institution we have thus far been supportive of and integral
to creating."
The Amerikan Way A Study in Psychopathy

March 29 2016 | From: ZenGardner
Just look at everything Amerika stands for as a whole. Corruption, greed, violence, military
aggression, social degradation, scientific insanity and on and on. Its footprint on the world is
nothing but horrific if you view it in the overall context.
Sure there are good people living there and those unwittingly caught up in the mass hysteria, but theyre
participating nonetheless. That accountability wont go away. Unless they stand up to it and fully withdraw their
consent and work to reverse the madness theyre clearly part of the problem.
Thats not an easy spot to be in when the very fabric of the sociopolitical and economic support structure is an every day
fact of psychopathic driven existence. It breeds acquiescence, apathy and hence continued participation. A pathetic state of
affairs.
Looking honestly at this collective insanity is imperative if were to draw any kind of enlightening and empowering
perspective.
Breaking Down the Nature of the Psychopathic Beast
Scientists researching the common characteristics of psychopathy now use a list of predominant qualities displayed by
psychopaths that theyve meticulously studied. The characteristics are quite telling and perhaps disturbing, as many can
recognize these attributes in people around them.
While they estimate only 2 to 4% of the population are psychopaths, Amerika ranking with a high percentile of those they
have identified, they clearly understand that these types of non-empathic dehumanizing freaks gravitate towards positions of
power.
See how these attributes ingrained in such ideas as manifest destiny and American supremacism match up to the collective
American way of life and its effect on the world of today, following the brief introduction:
The Hare Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R) is a diagnostic tool used to rate a persons psychopathic or
antisocial tendencies. People who are psychopathic prey ruthlessly on others using charm, deceit, violence or
other methods that allow them to get with they want.
The symptoms of psychopathy include: lack of a conscience or sense of guilt, lack of empathy,
egocentricity, pathological lying, repeated violations of social norms, disregard for the law, shallow emotions, and a
history of victimizing others.
Originally designed to assess people accused or convicted of crimes, the PCL-R consists of a 20-item symptom
rating scale that allows qualified examiners to compare a subjects degree of psychopathy with that of
a prototypical psychopath. It is accepted by many in the field as the best method for determining the presence and
extent of psychopathy in a person.
The twenty traits assessed by the PCL-R score are:
Glib and superficial charm
Grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self
Need for stimulation
Pathological lying
Cunning and manipulativeness
Lack of remorse or guilt
Shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
Callousness and lack of empathy
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral controls
Sexual promiscuity
Early behavior problems
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Many short-term marital relationships
Juvenile delinquency
Revocation of conditional release
Criminal versatility
Does That Hit the Mark?
Ill let your own imagination extrapolate each of those qualities rather than break it down as I see it. Its overall quite stunning
that a collective entity could be so blatantly psychopathic and to such a degree.
Its something to be faced head on.
But really its nothing new. This is the definition of the behavior of empires and oligarchies throughout history. Humanity
beats and flails its arms over and over when these qualities are recognized on so many humanity exploiting, oppressing and
destroying levels but its generally been to no avail, according to written records and the whirled were witnessing before
us.We protest and rant to whatever degree but the show goes on.
So what to do?
The Solution Awakening
Only a mass awakening can shake the foundations of this kind of destructive insanity. These power structures are built on
the fearful allegiance to those who make it possible. When we withdraw our support and participation in these types of
foisted machinations they cannot continue.
That may sound vague or simplistic to some but its extremely practical at the most basic level. If youre employed in
something supporting this paradigm, leave it.
If youre giving attention and therefore energy to their charade, including the political, media and entertainment sideshow,
stop it. If youre still socializing on shallow levels of energy, or contributing to the fear and scarcity models by your
sycophantic hand wringing and repeating of their fear programming, snap out of it.
Have some guts. Take a stand for truth and love while you still can. Dont wait for affirmation and some comforting collective
movement. Be your own being. Leave your participation in what is obviously wrong and lend your energy to what you know
is right.
It couldnt be simpler. If youre waiting for the right conditions youre still firmly in their psychopathic pocket.
Get out now. The hour is late. More on Psychopathy in a terrific film here.

The Power Elites Plans For You

March 26 2016 | From: KiwiWatch
Jim Rickards has had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with the elite of financial circles and has
been involved in the highest of discussions about economic issues from the Rothschilds &
Rockefellers down. Now he has shared his views on the agendas the elites have for you and me.
Forget Trump and if you can, forget Clinton although she is simply evil and should already be in prison so I find it
hard to put her out of mind. It doesnt matter who sits in the Oval office at the White House after US elections.
Look how feeble Obama has turned out to be, apart from the Nobel Peace Prize winner being one of the most murderous
Presidents of recent years delivering the agenda of the power elites. The people who pull the strings and run the world by in
large are not politicians but are almost faceless behind the scenes or in powerful self-appointed positions the President has
little say over.
Currently the world watches in amazement the farce that is the American primary elections to select delegates to the
national party conferences prior to the end of year Presidential elections. One by one the hopeful candidates are dropping
out but this whole parade is nothing more than a disgrace, played out in front of a disbelieving world.
If I was an American I would be embarrassed at this satirical joke consuming the American public (and us) on a daily basis.
It has little to do with how the free world exercises democracy.
Regrettably once you dig down a little you find supposedly intelligent people locked in a polarisation that will never deliver to
them the hopes and aspirations they hope for similar to the hopes and dreams of those who voted around the time of John F
Kennedy.
JFK spoke and lectured about the real meaning of peace and freedom, what it means for every individual and countries;
negotiated his way out of a potential nuclear calamity during the Cuba crisis; and new all to well about the subversive
forces that he wanted to confront as that which was likely to erode peace and freedom for individuals.
He wanted to see them broken into a thousand pieces so as liberty and freedom is maintained.
That was too much for the elites. President Harry Truman had spoken about this too in his valedictory speech; the
corporations, the military industrial complex, the surveillance state, the moneyed elite and that was gathering greater and
greater strength in the US.
As we know they took care of JFK; yes I say they shot their own President, blamed a punk called Lee Oswald but more than
that they also took out Robert F Kennedy who JFK ordained to complete the task of breaking up the CIA before he became
a Presidential threat to them.
Getting shot from behind eliminates the guy they blamed (Sirhan-Sirhan) from being the culprit as he was in front of RFK
when he was murdered. But that is history...
So what does Rickards talk about today?
The exceedingly rich dont necessarily become an elite although being exceedingly rich eliminates one barrier to becoming a
Power Elite. Rickards in his March 2016 newsletter discusses the Power Elites plan for you and me indeed the entire world.
He says the agenda of the global power elite is world money, world taxation, world government, a cashless society. The
primary long term goal of the power elite is world money.
He believes that world money will be issued by the shadowy organisation called the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that
is supposedly the central bankers central bank. It will set benchmarks for oil prices and other essential goods and services
in world trade.
Unelected officials will control money as a means to control societies and social welfare he argues. This will be done he
says through Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) that will be issued not to individuals but to governments.
Close behind world money is world taxation.
"Continual sources of revenue are needed by global elites to enrich themselves and pursue programs to perpetrate
their control. The primary path to achieve this is climate change. This explains why the IMF, World Bank, BIS and
other financial bodies continually speak about climate change.
In order to to impose global solutions (such as taxation) you need global problems (climate Change). Since climate
change know no borders it is the perfect vehicle to impose solutions that know no borders.
"Administration of world money and world taxation will be conducted by world government. Most of this
architecture is already in place. The United Nations is mostly a debating club except for the climate change
agenda.
The real world government is being conducted through the IMF and G-20 leaders summit. The G-20 is a de facto
board of directors for world government. The IMF is a de facto central bank for the world.
The power elite is also implementing the cashless society. This is needed to in order to impose hidden taxation
in the form of negative interest rates. Cash is one way to avoid negative interest rates. With cash at least you
preserve the principal but with negative interest rates on bank accounts you dont.
Its like rounding up cows in slaughterhouse pens before killing them! Negative interest rates is a way to confiscate wealth
from savers. (Note: it makes a mockery of saving for your retirement).
Club Etiquette and Rules:

He says that although the power elite is not a conspiracy is does function as a club and there are house rules. Violation of
the rules results in expulsion from the club. (Where does Trump sit here?)
Rule 1. Elites help elites. A closer example is how CEOs name other CEOs to their board of directors
Rule2. Elites never criticise other elites. In this context criticism means exposure of the real motives and
methods behind the elite game. Election politicking disagreements are allowed but what is not allowed is
discussion of the fact that left and right wing elites are in the same club and elections are basically a show to
appease citizens.
Rule 3. Silence is rewarded. Elites have access to enormous amounts of inside information about policy, plans
and back room dynamics. Going onto TV or radio and spilling the beans in some interview or book must be
avoided.
Rule 4. Patience pays. Not criticizing your ideological opponents and keeping your mouth shut for decades while
difficult has its rewards. Top jobs go to elites, loyalty is recognised.
Who are some of the Power Elite players? A by no means complete list starts with:
Robert Rubin formerly CEO of Goldman Sachs, US Secretary of the Treasury. Look him up he is on the Council of
Foreign Relations too
Christine Legarde manging director of the IMF

James A. Johnson, former CEO of Fannie Mae, including director of Goldman Sachs and also on the Council for Foreign
Relations
James Wolfensohn former president of the World bank and also on the Council for Foreign Relations
A continuing theme with all of the people Rickards mentions is the Council for Foreign Relations and New America
Foundation.
It would pay to look these secretive organisations up. Interesting.. neocon populated and very pro Israel!
The End Of Anglo-American Hegemony

March 22 2016 | From: HendersonLeftHook
Not long ago, Chocolate Oligarchs and their fascist gendarmes seized Ukraines fertile wheat and
barley fields, whilst bankster-funded Islamist rebels took Mosul & the adjacent Kirkuk oilfield one
of the worlds largest for Exxon Mobil.
BRIC nations saw imperial over-reach and, led by Putin, busied themselves preparing for the slow-motion
unraveling of the Anglo-American financial empire.
The Rothschild / Rockefeller / banking / energy / arms / drugs oligopoly that has enslaved humankind and decimated planet
earth for the last few centuries is coming apart at the seams. The arrogance and stupidity of the self-proclaimed illuminated
ones, who operate their matrix from the city of London, is being writ large for all to see.
Their Mideast gendarmes Israel & Saudi Arabia now falter.
A while back, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) entered Bahrain to help the al-Khalifa petro-
monarchy put down pro-democracy protests. This intervention condoned by Western powers represented a last-ditch
effort at salvaging the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) the chief neocolonial modus operandi which underwrites the
London eurodollar money laundering scheme while propping up both the pound and the dollar.
But heads of monarchs will soon roll. The people of the GCC nations remain restless, particularly in Saudi Arabia and
Bahrain. It was no coincidence that the unstable House of Saud financed Syrian rebels, sent them to destabilize Iraq, then
launched a ruthless bombing campaign in Yemen.
Things on the Saudi domestic front are a bit dicey for the embattled and divided royals. It is important to know how we got
here:
(Excerpted from Chapter 5: Persian Gulf Rent-a-Sheik: Big Oil & Their Bankers)
The six GCC nations- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar and Oman- sit atop 42% of the worlds oil.
The single-family monarchies that control them were hand-picked by the British Empire. They work in tandem with Israel to
steal crude oil from the Arab people. They, not China or Japan, are the biggest purchasers of US Treasuries. Their interests
lie not with their people, but with the City of London and Wall Street.
The bloodline elite of the six GCC nations are heavily invested in Western economies. High volume crude oil production
keeps this investment capital flowing to Wall Street and the City of London while allowing the GCC elites to live opulent
lifestyles. As Saudi Oil Minister Hisham Nazer put it, We now have a mutual bond of self-interest and reciprocal security
interests.
As Western dependence on Third World resources has increased, it has become increasingly necessary for the international
bankers and their corporations to include local elite cliques in their capital accumulation schemes, making a small group of
local people extremely wealthy so that this group will cooperate in selling local resources cheaply to the West.
An example of this utilization of local elites as surrogates can be seen through the case of the richest man in the world. He is
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah- Sultan of Brunei- a tiny oil enclave on the island of Borneo, where Royal Dutch/Shell holds a virtual
monopoly over the oil industry and has paid the Sultan well to keep it that way. The Sultan of Brunei is worth over $60 billion
and lives in a 1,778-room palace.
These local elite, in turn, hand over their wealth to Western bankers for protection from devaluation and bank failure. This
robs their home country of much-needed capital and often precipitates devaluation and debt crises. The US has itself
become a debtor nation and owes its debts, in part, to these same Third World elites, who own trillions on deposit at large
US banks, while their fellow countrymen live in abject poverty.
Egyptian elites, for example, hold $60 billion in deposits in foreign banks, while the average Egyptian earns $650/year. In the
case of the GCC, the amount of recycled petrodollars flowing back into Western investments is truly staggering.
The Saudis have over $600 billion invested abroad. Citigroup owns 33% of the Saudi American Bank but is itself now
controlled by members of the House of Saud. In 1993 Saudi Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, owner of Saudi Commercial Bank,
plunged $590 million into Citibank.
Bin Talal now owns 17.34% of Citigroup, while Crown Prince Abdullah owns a 5.4% share, making them the banks two
largest shareholders. Bin Talal is also the 2nd largest shareholder in Rupert Murdochs Newscorp, parent of both Fox News
and the Wall Street Journal.
The Saudi Citigroup share purchases were facilitated by the Washington-based Carlyle Group, which is 20%-owned by the
Mellon family that owned Gulf Oil and now owns a large chunk of Chevron Texaco.
Carlyle is led by former Reagan and Bush Defense Secretary and Reagan NSC Chairman Frank Carlucci. George
Bush Sr., James Baker III and former British Prime Minister John Major are senior advisers and board members at
Carlyle. Bush Sr. served as Carlyle investment advisor to the bin Laden family until November 2001.
In 1995 Prince bin Talal teamed up with Canadian developer Paul Reichmann, Loews chairman Larry Tisch and Lebanese
financier Edmund J. Safra- a close friend of war-criminal Henry Kissinger- to buy Londons Canary Wharf complex for $1.04
billion.
UAE ruling Sheik Zayed runs the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Much of its money is handled by private investment and
equity firms like Carlyle Group and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette- which is 18% owned by the Saudi Olayan Group. Olayan
also owns big chunks of JP Morgan Chase and CS First Boston. The director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority serves
as Carlyle Groups Asian adviser.
Bahrain plays a role in this petrodollar recycling, serving as the key unregulated offshore banking center for both the GCC
sheiks and their international mega-bank partners. Bahrain is also home to the US Fifth Fleet and a large number of
refineries, which process Saudi crude.
Lebanon had been the premier banking center of the Middle East in earlier days, but with Beirut reduced to rubble by Israeli
shelling, merchant banking has moved to the duty-free port of Dubai in the UAE, now the biggest gold market on the
planet. Investment banking is centered in Kuwait.
But it is Bahrain which is home to the vast multi-billion dollar pool of money market funds derived from GCC/Four Horsemen
petrodollar revenues. Most banks in Bahrain are foreign-owned and all US mega-banks have operations there. Many of
Bahrains banks are owned by GCC elite and serve as a major conduit in the petrodollar recycling process.
The Kuwait Burgan Bank, for example, owns a 28% stake in one of Bahrains largest banks- the Middle Eastern Bank.
The most powerful firm in Bahrain is Investcorp, which took big stakes in Saks Fifth Avenue, BAT, Tiffany, Gucci, Color Tile,
Carvel Ice Cream, Dellwood Foods, New York Department Store of Puerto Rico, Circle K and Chaumet. Investcorp was co-
founded in 1983 by Bahrain ruling family scion Sheik Khalifa bin Sulman al-Khalifa- who also owned a big chunk of the
infamous BCCI.
A recent Investcorp prospectus lists the Bahrain Minister of
Finance as an owner.
Investcorps chairman is Abdul-Rahman Al-Ateeqi, former

Oil and Finance Minister of Kuwait. Its Vice-President is
Ahmed Ali Kanoo of the wealthy Saudi Kanoo family, which
is worth an estimated $1.5 billion.
Former Saudi Oil Minister Sheik Yamani was one of

Investcorps founding shareholders, along with seven
members of the Saudi royal family.
Investcorp has its eight-story headquarters in Bahrain,

along with a Park Avenue New York office and a Mayfair
district office in London.
Sheik al-Khalifas partner in launching Investcorp was Nemir

Kirdar, the banks president who was in charge of Chase
Manhattans Persian Gulf operations. Numerous Investcorp
senior executives are Chase alumni as well.
Many Investcorp purchases turned out to be flops and there

is a shady side to the bank.
French jeweler Chaumet executive Charles Lefevre said

Investcorp fudged Chaumet numbers to entice shareholders
while trying to pawn its shares off at a higher price to other
Persian Gulf investors.
Another complaint alleged that Investcorp attempted to loot

the Saudi European Bank in Paris.
Investcorp board member Abdullah Taha Bakhsh, a

reclusive Saudi billionaire, invested heavily in George W.
The story of the BCCI was told in the thriller movie 'The International' Bushs Harken Energy.
So did Bahrains ruling Sheik al-Khalifa. Bush and co-owner Dick Cheney morphed their Arbusto Energy into Harken when
Bush friend James Bath provided them with $50,000 in seed money.
Bath owned Skyway Aircrafts and was under investigation by the DEA for working with GCC sheiks in flying $100 bills to the
Cayman Islands. Since Bath often borrowed money from Saudi Sheiks Khalid bin Mahfouz- BCCIs largest shareholder- and
Mohammed bin Laden, these wealthy Saudis likely provided the $50,000 in seed money to launch what became Harken
Energy.
Bin Mahfouz and bin Laden helped Harken sign an exclusive offshore oil drilling agreement just prior to the Gulf War. In
January 1990 President Bush Sr. had approved preferential trade status for the Iraqi regime. That very same month Harken
Energy was awarded the biggest offshore oil concession ever in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Bahrain.
Other notable Harken investors included the Ft. Worth-based Bass brothers, the South African Rupert family, the Harvard
Endowment Fund, and Rothschild lieutenant George Soros.
In 1989 the government of Bahrain abruptly cut off talks with Amoco concerning the same oil concession after Emir al-Khalifa
decided to grant it instead to Harken Energy at the urging of Mobils Middle East operations chief Michael Ameen. Financing
for the project was arranged by Bush Jr. friend Jackson Stephens, the Arkansas owner of Worthen Bank who was
instrumental in bringing BCCI to the US and who donated $100,000 to the Bush Sr. 1988 Presidential Campaign.
New York attorney Allen Quasha and his father William Quasha of Manila helped swing the Harken deal with Bahrain. In
1961 Bill Quasha helped George Bush Sr. secure rights to drill the first oil well in Kuwait via Zapata Offshore Oil Company.
Later Quasha served as legal counsel to the CIA drug laundry Nugan Hand Bank in the Philippines.
His son Allen became the biggest stockholder in Harken The Quashas own 21% of a Swiss company controlled by the
South African Rupert family, who were major backers of that countrys former apartheid regime.
Just one month before Iraq invaded Kuwait, George W. Bush sold 66% of his stake in Harken Energy at a 200% profit. While
stock analysts like Charlie Andrews of 13D Research were putting out buy recommendations on Harken, on June 22, 1990
Bush cashed in $840,000 in Harken stock, later saying he sold into good news. Bush knew that Harken had violated the
terms of a loan package and was now on the ropes financially. Five weeks later Harken reported a $23 million loss and its
stock price crashed.
Bush didnt report his timely Harken Energy stock sale until March 1991. This was illegal, but Bush claimed the SEC had
misplaced the forms and was never prosecuted. In 1993 Bush stepped down from Harkens board. With heavy financial
backing from Enron, he became Governor of Texas.
Bush was defended during the Harken scam by Baker Botts

lawyer Robert Jordan, who was paid back in 2000 with an
appointment as US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
The forgiving SEC chief during the Harken debacle was

Richard Breeden, one of Bush Sr.s biggest political
supporters.
SEC counsel was James Doty, another Bush supporter who

helped George W. buy the Texas Rangers baseball team.
When George W. Bush merged Harken with Spectrum 7

Energy, he brought in Investcorp insider Abdullah Taha
Bakhsh, who bought 17.6% of Harken through a
Netherlands Antilles holding company.
Some say Baksch was a front man for Sheik Khalid bin
Mahfouz. Baksch was a major investor at the Bahrain-
based Investcorp, which was launched by former Chase
Manhattan executives. In 1988 he looted an Arab bank in
London.
Bakhsh was also accused of looting the Al Saudi Banque of Paris when it collapsed in 1988 just ahead of the strikingly
similar collapse of BCCI. Bakhsh is a shareholder in First Commercial Financial Group, a Chicago-based commodity futures
trading firm which was sanctioned by US regulators for check-kiting and fraud. Just before the Gulf War broke out, Investcorp
sold a 25.8% share to an Iraqi company, despite a Bahrain law prohibiting such transactions.
The Saudis and Kuwaitis are the clear leaders in GCC overseas investments. The Kuwaiti Investment Authority has over
$250 billion invested abroad and is the biggest foreign investor in Japan and Spain. Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase handle
Kuwaiti investments in the US, where the al-Sabah clan owns stock in each of the 70 largest firms listed on the New York
Stock Exchange.
Their US holdings include 100% of Occidental Geothermal, 29.8% of Great Western Resources, 100% of the Atlanta Hilton
Hotel, 45% of the Phoenician Hotel and 11% of Hogg Robinson.
In Germany they own 14% of Daimler-Chrysler, 25% of Hoechst (the Nazi IG Farben spin-off and the worlds 2nd largest
pharmaceutical company), 20% of Metallgesellschaft and part of German retailer Asko. In Italy they own 6.7% of Afil, the
Agnelli family holding company which owns Fiat and several other endeavors.
In the UK Kuwait owns St. Martins Properties and 5.4% of Sime Darby. In Malaysia their K-10 company owns the biggest
newspaper- the New Straits Times Press. In neighboring Singapore, the Kuwaitis own 10.6% of Singapore Petroleum, 37%
of Dao Heng Holdings and 49% of the securities firm J. M. Sassoon.
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), was technically nationalized in the early 1980s, but remains close to its former parents-
Chevron Texaco and BP Amoco- selling these two Horsemen oil at a discount. KOC made wealthy the al-Sabah emirs and
the al-Ghanim family, who acted as the companys agent for decades.
By 1966 KOC bought a Danish subsidiary and became the first Middle Eastern oil company to retail gasoline in Europe.
KOC has been the most aggressive GCC firm in its overseas downstream investments. In 1982 it bought hundreds of Q8
gas stations across Europe. By 1987 it owned over 5,000 gasoline retailers in Europe and South Asia. Just last week KOC
was awarded a contract to build oil refineries in South Korea.
The Kuwaitis even bought into one of the Four Horsemen- BP Amoco. As of 1988 they owned a 22% share. They have since
reduced their share to 9.85%, still a controlling interest. They purchased the Naples, Italy refining operations of Mobil, own
nearly 4% of ARCO (now part of BP Amoco), and 2.39% of Phillips Petroleum (now merged with Conoco). In Spain the
Kuwaitis operate the Torras Hostenchchemical firm. In Japan they operate Arabian Oil.
All told GCC investments in Western banks and corporations total in the trillions. The bulk of this is invested in long-term US
and Japanese government bonds. The GCC sheiks are crucial to floating the entire house of cards that is the global
economy.
Their guaranteed purchases of US debt, which has largely been accrued through defense spending in the Persian Gulf
region, keep the US dollar strong and prevent the international financial architecture from crumbling.
The emirs and their elite friends also bankroll CIA covert operations, while re-balancing their trade surpluses with the West
through the purchase of US weaponry to protect their oil fiefdoms.
Events in Ukraine and the Middle East have exposed the desperate position of the Rockefeller/Rothschild energy oligopoly.
Putin has just begun playing his extremely good hand of cards.
The GCC puppets remain embattled and circling the wagons. The end of the petroleum standard can only be staved off by
permanent war. Strange days indeed.
The Financial System Is A Larger Threat Than Terrorism

March 21 2016 | From: PaulCraigRoberts
In the 21st century we have been distracted by the hyper-expensive war on terror. Trillions of
dollars have been added to the taxpayers burden and many billions of dollars in profits to the
military/security complex in order to combat insignificant foreign threats, such as the Taliban,
that remain undefeated after 15 years.
All this time the financial system, working hand-in-hand with policymakers, has done more damage to Americans
than terrorists could possibly inflict.
The purpose of the Federal Reserve and US Treasurys policy of zero interest rates is to support the prices of the over-
leveraged and fraudulent financial instruments that unregulated financial systems always create.
If inflation was properly measured, these zero rates would be negative rates, which means not only that retirees have no
income from their retirement savings but also that saving is a losing proposition. Instead of earning interest on your savings,
you pay interest that shrinks the real value of your saving.
Central banks, neoliberal economists, and the presstitute financial media advocate negative interest rates in order to force
people to spend instead of save. The notion is that the economys poor economic performance is not due to the failure of
economic policy but to people hoarding their money.
The Federal Reserve and its coterie of economists and presstitutes maintain the fiction of too much savings despite the
publication of the Federal Reserves own report that 52% of Americans cannot raise $400 without selling personal
possessions or borrowing the money.
Negative interest rates, which have been introduced in some countries such as Switzerland and threatened in other
countries, have caused people to avoid the tax on bank deposits by withdrawing their savings from banks in large
denomination bills. In Switzerland, for example, demand for the 1,000 franc bill (about $1,000) has increased sharply. These
large denomination bills now account for 60% of the Swiss currency in circulation.
The response of depositors to negative interest rates has resulted in neoliberal economists, such as Larry Summers, calling
for the elimination of large denomination bank notes in order to make it difficult for people to keep their cash balances
outside of banks.
Other neoliberal economists, such as Kenneth Rogoff want to eliminate cash altogether and have only electronic money.
Electronic money cannot be removed from bank deposits except by spending it. With electronic money as the only money,
financial institutions can use negative interest rates in order to steal the savings of their depositors.
People would attempt to resort to gold, silver, and forms of private money, but other methods of payment and saving would
be banned, and government would conduct sting operations in order to suppress evasions of electronic money with stiff
penalties.
What this picture shows is that government, economists, and presstitutes are allied against citizens achieving any financial
independence from personal saving.
Policymakers have a crackpot economic policy and those with control over your life value their scheme more than
they value your welfare.
This is the fate of people in the so-called democracies. Any remaining control that they have over their lives is being taken
away. Governments serve a few powerful interest groups whose agendas result in the destruction of the host economies.
The offshoring of middle class jobs transfers income and wealth from the middle class to the executives and owners of the
corporation, but it also kills the domestic consumer market for the offshored goods and services. As Michael Hudson writes,
it kills the host.
The financialization of the economy also kills the host and the owners of corporations as well. When corporate executives
borrow from banks in order to boost share prices and their performance bonuses by buying back the publicly held stock of
the corporations, future profits are converted into interest payments to banks.
The future income streams of the corporations are financialized. If the future income streams fail, the companies can be
foreclosed, like homeowners, and the banks become the owners of the corporations.
Between the offshoring of jobs and the conversion of more and more income streams into payments to banks, less and less
is available to be spent on goods and services. Thus, the economy fails to grow and falls into long-term decline. Today
many people can only pay the minimum payment on their credit card balance.
The result is massive growth in a balance that can never be paid off. It is these people who are the least able to service debt
who are hit with draconian charges. The way the credit card companies have it now, if you make one late payment or your
payment is returned by your bank, you are hit for the next six months with a Penalty Annual Percentage Rate of 29.49%.
In Europe entire countries are being foreclosed. Greece and Portugal have been forced into liquidation of national assets
and the social security systems. So many women have been forced into poverty and prostitution that the hourly price of a
prostitute has been driven down to $4.12.
Throughout the Western world the financial system has become an exploiter of the people and a deadweight loss on
economies. There are only two possible solutions. One is to break the large banks up into smaller and local entities such as
existed prior to the concentration that deregulation fostered.
The other is to nationalize them and operate them solely in the interest of the general welfare of the population.
The banks are too powerful currently for either solution to occur. But the greed, fraud, and self-serving behavior of Western
financial systems, aided and abeted by governments, could be leading to such a breakdown of economic life that the idea of
a private financial system will become as abhorent in the future as Nazism is today.
Helicopter Money: Get Ready To Be Showered

March 20 2016 | From: KiwiWatch
Day after day we are insulted by wannabe broadcasters like (in New Zealand) Paul Henry and Mike
Hosking, who continue to interview bank economists or central bank analysts attempting to
discover why the global economy is slowing down, what central bankers are doing about it and
why our own economy is showing signs of this distress.
Only Luddites would interview the people who are the very cause of the problem hoping to get a glimpse of the
solution.
Massive government and private debt that has spiraled hugely since the unresolved 2008 Global Financial Crisis is the
major cause of the problem. 2008 wasnt an event with an ending. Its continuing and just got a whole lot worse in the
interim due to massive central bank money printing, zero interest rates (ZIRP), Quantative Easing (QE), now negative
interest rates (NIRP) and now a war on cash.
Central bankers are out of time, clueless as to what to do. Everything they try is an experiment, the consequences are
unknown. Why bother interviewing the fools causing the problem? Instead why not interview people who can come up with a
non bank solution?
Spiraling debt comes from the manner in which banks create money by the Fractional Reserve system that has empowered
banks to become the almighty and powerful entities, too large to fail. That is the cause of the problem along with the now
massive deflationary force of an aging baby boomer generation keeping their wallets in the hip pocket, spending less.
Back in the 1970s a local (N.Z.) politician called Bruce Beetham promoted a political party called Social Credit whose basis
was that the government should be the sole creator of credit in a nation disempowering bankers out of this role.
He was maligned as a funny money man. In hind sight this solution would have solved the problem of bankers becoming
the all powerful and kept our country from being beggars in the global credit markets controlled by banks.
But maybe, just maybe there are politicians who themselves are going to be attacked and maligned by the powerful bank
lobby as nutters are thinking about ways governments are going to monetize the debt they cant repay. Whatever result the
lunacy of central bank thinking is past the use by date.
Countries Sign The TPPA: Whatever Happened To The 'Debate' We Were Promised
Before Signing?
March 18 2016 | From: TechDirt
In New Zealand there is a pathetic "Roadshow" PR excercise because of the 30,000 strong
protesters that gridlocked Auckland city on the day of the globalists 'signing' of the TPPA - a
protest that state-controlledTVNZ news said was only around 1,000 people.
The New Zealand Traitor Prime Sinister John Key is even pushing for the law changes the TPPA would enforce
EVEN BEFORE ratification and says the law changes WILL NOT be undone if the TPPA fails ratification.
Related: Maori Elder Kingi Taurua Sends TPPA Partners, Queen A Formal Notice Of Veto Of Trade Agreement
Representatives from 12 different nations recently officially signed the Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP) agreement in
Auckland, New Zealand. The date, February 4th (New Zealand time) is noteworthy, because it's 90 days after the official text
was released. There was a 90 day clock that was required between releasing the text and before the US could actually sign
onto the agreement.
The stated purpose of this 90 day clock was in order to allow "debate" about the agreement. Remember, the entire
agreement was negotiated in secret, with US officials treating the text of the document as if it were a national security secret
(unless you were an industry lobbyist, of course).
So as a nod to pretend "transparency" there was a promise that nothing would be signed for 90 days after the text was
actually released.
So... uh... what happened to that "debate"? It didn't happen at all. The TPP was barely mentioned at all by the administration
in the last 90 days. Even during the State of the Union, Obama breezed past the TPP with a quick comment, even though
it's supposedly a defining part of his "legacy."
But there's been no debate. Because there was never any intent for an actual debate. The 90 day clock was just something
that was put into the process so that the USTR and the White House could pretend that there was more "transparency" and
that they wouldn't sign the agreement until after it had been looked at and understood by the public.
Of course, the signing is a totally meaningless bit of theater. The real fight is over ratification.
The various countries need to ratify the TPP for the agreement to go into effect. Technically, the TPP will enter into force 60
days after all signers ratify it... or, if that doesn't happen, within two years if at least six of the 12 participant countries ratify
it and those six countries account for 85% of the combined gross domestic product of the 12 countries.
Got that? In short, this means that if the US doesn't ratify it, the TPP is effectively dead.
The US needs a majority of both houses of Congress to approve it, similar to a typical bill. And that's no sure thing right now.
Unfortunately, that's mainly because a group of our elected officials are upset that the TPP doesn't go far enough in helping
big businesses block competition, but it's still worth following.
Inevitably, there will be some debate during the ratification process, though there are enough rumors suggesting that no one
really wants to do it until after the Presidential election, because people running for President don't want to reveal that
they're happy to sell out the public's interest to support a legacy business lobbyist agenda.
But, even that debate will likely be fairly limited and almost certainly will avoid the real issues, and real problems, with the
TPP.
Either way, today's symbolic signing should really be an exclamation point on the near total lack of transparency and debate
in this process. The 90 day window was a perfect opportunity to have an actual discussion about what's in the TPP and why
there are problems with it, but the administration showed absolutely no interest in doing so.
And why should it? It already got the deal it wanted behind closed doors. But, at least it can pretend it used these 90 days to
be "transparent."
Vampire Technocrats Fly To Jekyll Island To Stop Trump

March 14 2016 | From: JonRappoport
Its such a secret place, only heavy hitters and big shots can fly in, from private airports - which,
by the way, have no TSA security. So they could have been packing heat for all we know. Or bags
of blood for nighttime drink fests.
Sea Island is where they met. Its in the same Georgia gaggle as the infamous Jekyll Island, where the Federal
Reserve was born many moons ago. But now the goal was narrow: stop the crazy cowboy; stop Trump.
Were secret effigy-burning rituals held? Hard to say. Did one of the tech giants unveil a new algorithm that would suddenly
direct all Trump remarks to a new Hitler Facebook page?
Here are some of the Island attendees, according to the Huffington Post (At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top
Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump, 3/7/2016). Get this:
"Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker, and
Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk all attended.
So did Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), political guru Karl Rove, House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP
Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who
recently made news by saying he cannot support Donald Trump.
Along with Ryan, the House was represented by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton (Mich.),
Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas) and almost-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), sources said, along with leadership figure
Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.), Financial Services Committee
Chairman Jeb Hensarling (Texas) and Diane Black (Tenn.).
Philp Anschutz, the billionaire GOP donor whose company owns a stake in Sea Island, was also there, along with
Democratic Rep. John Delaney, who represents Maryland. Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York
Times, was there, too, a Times spokeswoman confirmed.
Quite a collection. And they all have hernias and a major case of red-ass about the crazy cowboy running for President.
At the confab, Karl Rove, the old grubby prince of darkness, opined that stopping Trump was a matter of emphasizing how
un-Presidential he is. Karls come a long way down since his glory days with George W. Im told hes about to launch his
own Daily Racing Form.
Henry Miller, the American writer who, in his time, in his own way, was as reviled and infamous as Trump is now, once wrote
(paraphrasing): People say America needs a President who will restore sanity to the country. Thats wrong. What America
needs is a President wholl drive everybody crazy.
Well, here he is. Trump. The gilded, self-inflating hustler whos never met a success story (of his own) he didnt love. Trump.
The master of off-the-cuff. The ham-fisted swaggering hair stylists nightmare who pushes open the swinging doors to The
Secret Club bar and strides in, bat-shit angry, to lecture snooty tight-ass titans on how to make America great again.
"I was telling my wife the other day I should buy Alaska. And by the way, were going to dump Common Core, and
vaccines cause autism.
Whats the algorithm that stops that?
Regardless of what happens from this point on, Trumps major contribution to Presidential elections is smashing standard
political rhetoric; and thats no small accomplishment. Next to him, Hillary and Obama and Mitt and Marco are 100%
pharmaceutical-grade Thorazine on a slow Sunday afternoon.
Hillary, in particular, can make bloodthirsty war-mongering with torn bodies lying everywhere come across like row-row-row-
your-boat at a picnic in the park, in between her coughing fits.
But heres the thing, Donald. You havent gone far enough.
To destroy the walking-dead politicians of our time, you need to get a lot crazier - on your own live-streaming webcasts,
night and day, to five million, 10 million, 20 million people around the world. From your car, by your fireplace in Trump
Tower, in a Burger King, in the mens room at the Pierre Hotel, in a homeless encampment in San Diego, on a lonely snowy
street in Cleveland at 3 in the morning. Ramp it up.
Youre standing in the field of a family farm in the Midwest with a hollow-faced man whose life has been blown away by
Monsanto, with its GMO crops and cancer-causing Roundup. There you are talking to him, the farmer, destitute, his family
destitute, near a giant acre of weeds eight feet high that resisted Roundup and didnt die. His crop yield shrank.
His expenses, courtesy of Monsanto, grew. He went down. Talk to the man. Listen to his story. Beam it out to 20 million
people. Tell him how youre going to help him put himself back together. Lay out a plan to resurrect the small farmer in
America.
Stand inside a building in Chicago where people have built their own urban farm and grow vegetables for the local poor
community, for themselves. Show what a success it is. Listen to these people. Tell them how youre going help them build
5000 of these urban farms in poverty-stricken inner cities across America. People are going to rise up.
Theyre not going to be a permanent underclass eating government cheese for the rest of their lives.
Sit in a homeless camp with veterans of wars and listen to their stories, listen to how the VA threw them in the garbage
heap, after they served their time. Get busy, Donald. These vets are all over America. They have something to say. Dont
hold back. Tell them whats happened in Iraq and Afghanistan since they were there. Some of them already know. Let them
tell you how those countries have gone down the toilet. Raise hell.
In a trailer park, talk to a few former members of the American middle-class, who were shoved down into debt and
unemployment by the fanatic Globalist export of jobs to faraway hell holes where workers slave for 3 cents an hour. In fact,
under heavy guard, visit a few of those overseas hell holes and expose what they look like and feel like and are. Go the
distance.
Travel the southern border of America. Live-stream whats happening. Talk to US border personnel. Listen to their stories.
Emphasize that the US already has 60 million immigrants living here, which makes it the most generous country, per capita,
in the world. Talk to Mexican corn farmers coming up into America. Let them describe how 1.5 million of them were put into
bankruptcy, because the NAFTA trade treaty allowed US companies to flood Mexico with cheap corn.
Crack the egg of slumber in the Big Cocoon. With your live webcasts, pull in more viewers than NCIS and CSI. Drive your
former employer, NBC, crazy.
Talk to truckers and limo drivers and shoe salesmen and working wives and newly minted PhDs who cant find work. Talk to
people on the street, people in bars, people coming out churches and strip clubs and malls. Tear down the walls between
politicians and people.
Youre starting to sound a bit mainstream these days. Youre not going to work with Congress. Congress isnt going to
work with you. Get off that horse. Okay, you want to sound like a unifier who likes people? Do that for a day. But then get
back to doing what you were before. Mangling politicians and media buffoons.
People talk like robots because they are robots. Thats your opening, Donald. Keep pressing it. Destroy political-speak.
Rake it over the coals. Offend more human androids. Your numbers will keep rising. Improvise.
I keep writing about the Trump phenomenon because its explosive.
It intrudes on so much business-as-usual political life in America. I really want to drive home this point. People, so many
people, are so timid and scared and provincial and tight - and they think that the usual parade of ghouls who run for office in
this country is acceptable because the candidates mouth empty dead words.
People expect the walking smiling dead to run for office. Big grins, empty words. Thats considered safe, despite the fact
that these hideous creatures are perfectly ready and willing to send planes anywhere to drop bombs on populations for no
goddamn good reason. But as long as the candidate has a wan shit-eating grin, and as long as says hes caring, its all
right.
Then Trump comes along and hes suddenly the Dangerous One. Hes suddenly a threat.
You mean all those other ghouls werent?
Hes Hitler, and they were messiahs? Are you kidding? All of a sudden we have a dangerous Presidential candidate where
there were none before? REALLY? People are getting so worked up about the first dangerous candidate in recent memory?
REALLY?
I see. Building a wall is the worst idea ever to occur in America? Nothing like it? Ever? What about Vietnam? 1.4 million
dead bodies, countless wounded, and even more suffering cancers and birth defects from Agent Orange. That was nothing
compared to the suggestion of building a wall on the southern border?
What about bombing Libya, ripping that country to shreds? Might have been a mistake, but it was nothing compared with the
suggestion to build a wall? Putting in economic sanctions between the two wars in Iraq and thereby killing 500,000 children?
Sad, but nothing compared to the suggestion of building a wall?
The White House funding, backing, creating, arming ISIS in conjunction with US allies? Yes, perhaps a regrettable error in
judgment, but nothing compared to the suggestion of building a wall?
Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama? Angels from heaven.
Trump? The anti-Christ.
Well, that settles that.
Get busy, Donald, push harder. Do a webcast to 20 million people from a bar off Wall Street, where you chat with an ex-
broker about the giant ongoing con called investment banking, the astonishing ripoffs, the real details of the bailout.
Visit a half-deserted town where a factory closed and went to Asia to make their products on the cheap. Talk to the people
of that town as they sit and wait for something to happen thats never going to happen.
Assemble a group of media people who were drummed out of their profession for speaking the truth about vital scandals
and let them talk. Have a conversation about what lies under the surface of American life, about the themes the stuffed
media shirts who still have their jobs are concealing, as they attack you around the clock. Break open the whole stinking
mess and show it to the American people, and reveal what their robot-talking politicians have been doing to them.
For a long, long time.
Coda - I realize Im branching out into an area where the actual Donald Trump doesnt exist. The disruptive force that he is
may have, behind it all, severe limits. He may only want to upset a few apple carts. Hes only a moon rising, and never goes
full. On the other hand, weve never seen a politician who is what he should be. And we need to flesh out a better idea about
who that is, as an intensely disruptive radical force, in the best and original sense of that word.
Radical equals root. Politics as it never was. But could be.
Not the skunk-ridden Leftist hideous mask of we care, behind which commissars try to drive us all into a shit heap of
senseless lowest-common-denominator equality.
Not the Rightest pork-fat scumbags pushing predatory corporations to make more weapons and take over more countries in
the name of fatuous democracy. Not the Centrists who work both sides against the middle.
No. Instead, radical. The root.
The place where the individual has a vision and follows it. The place where such individuals come together and make
futures of freedom.
And this is what the establishment are afraid of:
And well they should be...

KiwiSaver Accounts Missing Millions
March 12 2016 | From: RadioNewZealand
Tens of thousands of workers are missing millions of dollars from their KiwiSaver accounts
because their employers have failed to either pass on payments docked from their pay, or pay their
own employer contributions.
Figures obtained by RNZ News show Inland Revenue is chasing thousands of employers for $29.3 million in
outstanding payments and penalties that have accumulated since the retirement savings scheme was launched in
2007.
Related: NZ Super Fund's $200m Loss
At the end of June 2015, 1663 employers had failed to pass on $15.3m in KiwiSaver payments deducted from their
employees' own salaries to the IRD. These deductions were government guaranteed so workers would eventually get the
money.
But since 2007, 2210 employers had failed to pay $10.6m in KiwiSaver contributions to 46,154 employees.
Businesses are legally required to pay 3 percent of an employee's gross salary towards their KiwiSaver.
IRD collections manager David Udy said the vast majority of the businesses that had failed to pay were small and employed
between three and five staff. He said in some cases the businesses had simply gone bust and were unable to pay, but the
department was doing all it could to collect the debt from others.
Last year, the IRD collected $4m in outstanding debt, reducing the total to $29.3m. David Udy said the IRD was making
progress.
"It has a priority with us however, one needs to realise there's many reasons employers get into difficulty and
obviously if the business doesn't have funds then we are unable to obtain those."
Mr Udy said some of the employers who owed money were repeat offenders but he could not say how many there were.
He said IRD was doing all it could to recover any money and slow paying employers were notified of any missed payments
within a month.
Mr Udy said the IRD tried to work with them to recover the money and legal action was only used as a last resort.
Tax consultant Terry Baucher said the IRD was often too slow to act and it needed to do more to educate small businesses
about their obligations to pass on, and pay their own, KiwiSaver contributions.
"There's a lot of employers and people slip through the cracks. We have seen instances where five or six years
have passed without Inland Revenue taking any action," he said.
While employees' KiwiSaver deductions were guaranteed by the government, employers' contributions were not.
Labour's finance spokesperson Grant Robertson said that might need to change.
"I am prepared to look at the idea of a guarantee because I think the workers who enrol in KiwiSaver deserve to
know they'll get all the benefits of being part of the scheme."
But he said it first needed to be worked out whether IRD was doing all it could to try and recover the missing money.
IRD said any workers who were missing KiwiSaver payments should first talk to their employer or contact them for advice.
Warning: New Zealand Government And Big Banks In Collusion For Farm Land Grab:
The Same Scam As Run In The United States And Australia

Possibly the most painful part of this will be watching all of the big bank / corporate sponsored 'experts' in the filthy corrupt
media & Government try and explain it all away in terms of "interest rates" and "market forces". Farmers are enticed into
taking out loans at low interest rates which are then intentionally later raised, in a blatantly criminal plan to seize land. It
worked in the US. Copy and paste in Australia. And now copy and paste in New Zealand.
New Zealand company Fonterra is the worlds largest dairy exporter, exporting products to over 100 countries
The truth is, it is an agenda planned even before the inception of Fonterra, specifically for this end goal - the 'Globalization' of
our land and all of our natural resources - using rigged (Libor) interest rates, market manipulations, fake printed debt and
various other financial frauds.
Say good bye to 95% of your farm land Kiwis - thanks to the filthy inbred banking mafia and their army of soulless, bribed,
sexual pervert CEO's and senior management. Unfortunately, the average Kiwi farmer is far too dumbed down with the All

their offices awaiting slaughter. You are what you eat. Chattel.

Oz Farm Foreclosures: ANZ Behaving Badly:
Farmers whose properties were foreclosed on by the ANZ bank since 2010 have made explosive claims about the devastation
suffered by those who defaulted.
Two have given evidence at a parliamentary inquiry hearing, in Sydney, into the banking industry's practice involving loans.
Rod Culleton, of Williams in Western Australia, and Margaret Menzel, representing sugar cane farmers, gave evidence. Mr
Culleton was a cereal and sheep farmer until he lost the farm in 2013 and has been fighting the ANZ in the courts and in the
media ever since.
He said ANZ had admitted to overcharging in fees incurred during the transition [from Landmark to ANZ] and "is giving a lot of
that back".
In answers to the committee, Mr Culleton said he, and others in positions of default to ANZ, were "held at gunpoint" after
receivers were sent in.
"That's reality," Mr Culleton said.
"Ten [police] came to my place that day [the receivers came in 2013].
At Bruce Dixon's it was caught on TV. There were four police with their pistols on us and there were SWAT teams
up in the bush, and we were held at gunpoint that day, quite horrific really.
"We went there to support Bruce Dixon," Mr Culleton said.
He also claimed another defaulter with ANZ was "victimised that much by receivers and police" tipped 15 litres of petrol over
his head and set himself on fire".
According to Mr Culleton he was in a coma for six months. During the hearing, Mr Culleton asked Brett Fallon of the
Whitsunday region to stand to demonstrate his maimed and burnt hands, after his self-immolation.
He submitted the story of Mr Fallon to the inquiry, describing him as a Queensland cane and cattle farmer who had a
Landmark loan of $3.5 million and ANZ demanded it be repaid in 2010.
"Over the next three years Brett Fallon sold assets and all the proceeds [$3.7 million] were paid to the ANZ.
Mr Fallon then attended the Ingham branch of the ANZ in May 2013 and was told his outstanding loan was $4
million, and his cattle and crops belonged to [someone else, name withheld]."
Mr Fallon claimed outside the hearing that a lot of people could not attend because they had taken their own lives.
He echoed calls for a Royal Commission into banking practice and the establishment of a nationalised Rural Development
Bank, to give a break to farmers who had seen their land devalued.

When ANZ took over Landmark's loan book in 2010, from the scandal-ridden Australian Wheat Board, Mr Culleton said he
received a series of emails outlining the transition.

Reading from the emails he said, "'Landmark and ANZ will be working together to keep you informed of any changes'".
"You aren't required to do anything, and until 2010 your accounts and cheque book will work the same way as they
always have.
"If you have any questions please speak to your rural financial manager,'" Mr Culleton quoted from the email.
But he said there was no local manager in Bunbury and he could never speak to anyone on the phone to discuss the new
ANZ bank terms.

Mr Culleton claimed he would have been able to repay the loan, but did not want to bank with ANZ.
"I never signed over to ANZ Bank," he said.
"They created new bank accounts calling me a customer, and then they defaulted me on accounts that were
foreign to my company and companies."
He explained in submissions that he wanted to have the freedom to move loans, but felt he was prevented from doing so.
"I have the right to go elsewhere," he said.
"We're not on some conspiracy theory, we're telling the truth," Mr Culleton told the hearing.
ANZ and Commonwealth Bank of Australia are expected to give evidence in April, delaying a report which was due in March
2016.

Rothschild Bank Now Under Criminal Investigation After Baron David de Rothschild
Indictment
March 10 2016 | From: ActivistPost
Last year, Baron David de Rothschild was indicted by the French government after he was
accused of fraud in a scheme that allegedly embezzled large sums of money from British
pensioners.
It has taken many years to bring this case against Rothschild and his company the Rothschild Financial Services
Group, which trapped hundreds of pensioners in a bogus loan scheme between the years of 2005 and 2008.
One by one the pensioners lost their money and pressed charges against the notorious banker, beginning a case that would
take many years to get even an indictment.
In June, Paris-based liaison judge Javier Gmez Bermudez ruled that Rothschild must face a trial for his crimes, and
ordered local police to seek him out in his various mansions that are spread throughout the country.
It is a good step in the right direction. The courts are now in agreement with us that there is enough evidence to
interrogate Baron Rothschild. The first thing they will have to do is find him. Once they have done that they can
begin to question him. It is a real breakthrough moment for everyone involved, lawyer Antonio Flores of
Lawbird told the Olive Press after the ruling.
In short, independently of what happened to the investment, Rothschild advertised a loan aimed at reducing
inheritance tax, which is a breach of tax law, he added.
While news of a single Rothschild being indicted is certainly noteworthy, a particularly important announcement was made
this Friday.
The French government announced that it has launched an investigation into the entire Swiss branch of the Rothschilds
banking empire.
According to Bloomberg,
The Swiss unit of Edmond de Rothschild said its the subject of a French probe regarding a former business
relationship managed by a former employee.
Edmond de Rothschild (Suisse) SA is actively participating in the criminal investigation under way, the Geneva-
based bank said in an e-mailed statement on Friday. The bank denies all the allegations that have been made
against it.
Edmond de Rothschild, a private banking and asset management firm established in Paris in 1953, oversees about
150 billion euros ($164 billion) and is led today by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and his wife Ariane. The Swiss
unit traces its roots to the acquisition of Banque Privee in Geneva in 1965.
The company has no further comment at this time, according to the statement. Officials in Geneva werent
immediately available to respond to a telephone call from Bloomberg News on Friday."
The Rothschild empire has been instrumental in helping move the global elites wealth from traditional tax havens like the
Bahamas, Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands to the U.S.
Last month, the Free Thought Project reported on the above the law tax haven established inside the United States by the
Rothschilds.
After opening a trust company in Reno, Nev., Rothschild & Co. began ushering the massive fortunes of the worlds most
wealthy individuals out of typical tax havens, and into the Rothschild run U.S. trusts, which are exempt from the international
reporting requirements.
Jacob Rothschild. At least Evelyn de Rothschild has a sense of humour.. Remember the catnip meeting Evelyn? Haha... [Keenan]
Historically, there is ample evidence to show that the family has used insider trading to bilk money from both private and
public funds.
insider trading, which led to the Rothschild family robbing a whole nation blind. In 1815 when the battle of Waterloo took
place, there were no quick methods of communication like we have today so messengers were used for communication in
times of war.
The Rothschilds invented the concept of the courier - little wonder that they control FedEx, which ironically is about as federal as the Federal Reserve
The Rothschilds took advantage of this by having spies on the frontlines of the battle who would return information to the
family faster than the messengers used by the military.
When the British won the war, Nathan Rothschild, was of course, the first to know, and he immediately went to the stock
exchange and started selling stocks while putting out the rumor that the French had won the war. This created a panic on
the floor of the stock exchange and investors all over England began frantically selling their stocks.
Rothschild expanded his familys wealth, and cemented their position as one of the richest families in the world.
What They Want You To Fear Versus The Real Threats We Face
March 8 2016 | From: WakingTimes
The uniting global culture of the 21st Century does have risks that it needs to address as it moves
into a new era that can finally be classed as a civilized society. Yet, any report that identifies the
threats to our species needs to be holistic and progressive in its approach; otherwise it is just fear
propaganda manufactured to elicit our blind consent.
In an article on the well-recognized Australian propaganda site news.com.au the three biggest threats that were
identified in the Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community report were outlined. Simply,
this was a stunningly transparent piece of the establishments disinformation agenda.
Allegedly, the three biggest threats to the world are:
1. ISIS
2. Cyber-Espionage
3. Nuclear North Korea
As stated in the second paragraph:
US National Intelligence Director James Clapper and other officials warned an attack by Islamic State on US soil
was imminent, that North Korea now had the capability to produce up to 100 nuclear bombs and that Russian and
Chinese hackers could dismantle critical defence, supply and information networks and were in fact already
starting to do this.
We can see straight away the fear theyre trying to push: there are no internal threats; the big bad entities of the East are
who we all need to be worried about. This would be hilarious if it wasnt so dangerous, because as per design, it aims to
keep the mainstream herd of breaking free from the false narratives which unfortunately characterize living in this day and
age.
As the post-mainstream community has long understood, the primary threat that we collectively face is the shadow power
structure which has bought out our financial, informational, political, medicinal and educational systems.
The way in which money and resources are controlled in our society, as well as what information the matrix-media provides,
is determined by this oligarchy which has long infiltrated western governments and the minds of the masses.
Therefore, we all need to be concerned that we no longer have a representative government. Abraham Lincolns famous
quote is regrettably being transformed for the worse: a government of the people, by the people, for the people, is perishing
from the earth.
More On What They Want You to Fear
Power is shifting from West to East. The reign of the American superpower is coming to an end which will be driven home
after the death of the Petrodollar and the US dollar as the worlds reserve currency. Because the powers-that-be have
foreseen this for a long time, theyre putting into place strategies, such as secret resource and power consolidation
agreements, to ensure their hegemony is not lost.
As part of this agenda, Islamic State (IS) is a proxy army of this global cabal. IS is made up of Sunni radical extremists, and
was directly massaged into a well-equipped army by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-dominated Middle Eastern
states. Weaponry and other equipment were also directly and indirectly supplied to them by Western nations.
As I noted in the article, The Risks for 2016: Economic Collapse, More False Flags and WWIII:
The prevailing view in the conscious society is that there is a shadow order thatcontrols US and other western foreign policy.
It is believed that they created Al Qaeda, and its offshoot Islamic State (IS), as proxy armies to overthrow leaders of the
Middle East and obtain control of the governments, banking sectors and resources, as part of their global unification plan.
This is also known as the New World Order (NWO) and is thought to be controlled at its core by ancient bloodlines that are
fronted by Zionist and / or Jesuit agents.
The rise of terrorism has been a well planned ingredient to this recipe, officially beginning in 2001. In orchestrated stride, the
war-on-terror continued to escalate in 2015 with supposed terror attacks being carried out in dozens of areas across the
Middle East and Africa, as well as the well-known Paris Attacks and San Bernardino shootings later in the year.
Of course, many of these incidents might well be false-flag operations carried out by these ruling elite, who are hell-bent on
uniting the world under their impenetrable rule.
Because there has been a war in the Middle East between the Sunnis and Shiites for centuries, the Israeli/US elites have
picked a side to meet their own ideological and geopolitical goals.
Syria and Iran are primarily Shiites, whilst Turkey and Saudi Arabia are Sunni nations that have been allies of the U.S for
decades. Turkey is also a part of NATO, so they were always going to choose this particular side.
It appears that Russia is the unplanned wildcard. They have allied with Iran and Syria because they have their own
ideological, economical and geopolitical agendas.
For this end, they have absolutely pumped the Sunni radical extremists since mid to late last year, which is why Saudi
Arabia and their alliance have organized up to 350 thousand ground troops in early February to potentially enter Syria in a
ground invasion.
They of course will say this is to fight IS, but thats just pure deception; the real aim would be to ensure that they dont lose
the battle for supremacy that theyve invested so much time, energy and pride in.
Furthermore, Russia and China, among other nations, have collaborated to build new economic institutions for the future,
including the BRICS bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). As noted in this Global Research
article in February 2016:
China and Russia are investing in neighboring economies on terms that cement Eurasian integration on the basis
of financing in their own currencies and favoring their own exports. They also have created the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO) as an alternative military alliance to NATO.
And the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) threatens to replace the IMF and World Bank tandem in which
the United States holds unique veto power.
As stated, this is in direct opposition to the oligarchical-controlled IMF and World Bank, although it must be noted that
originally there was some endorsement by these institutions. In any case, as noted in an article by former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts:
The basis of US foreign policy is the commitment to prevent the rise of powers capable of constraining
Washingtons unilateral action. The ability of Russia and China to do this makes them both a target.
Washington is not opposed to terrorism. Washington has been purposely creating terrorism for many years.
Terrorism is a weapon that Washington intends to use to destabilize Russia and China by exporting it to the
Muslim populations in Russia and China.
In other words, Washington and the gullibility of its European vassals have put humanity in a very dangerous situation, as
the only choices left to Russia and China are to accept American vassalage or to prepare for war.
Based on this analysis, Russia and China are only threats because the US (and Israel) oligarchy has made them
into exactly that.
The majority of people do not want further war, so the question then begs, will they stand up against this authoritarian
agenda or will a well-orchestrated false flag convince the masses that its the only way forward to protect their freedoms?
Note: for those who vehemently say NO TO WAR, please see this initiative led by the infamous war veteran Ken OKeefe.
The Real Threats We Face
As discussed, there is a shadow order that has taken control of the way that we organize and economize our societies. They
use their corporate monopolies to enact their agenda. If we dont do something to stop this tyranny then the 11 Toxic
Realities Society is Finally Waking Up About will continue its carnage across our collective minds and hearts.
In addition, the global economy is tanking due to a saturation of debt and near worthless global currency. How this plays out
in the coming months and years is hard to predict, yet the potential destruction of our current way of life, as well as massive
social unrest, is very real. This is something we all need to hedge our bets against; hope for the best, but prepare for the
worst.
Yet, theres something even more powerful that if we dont do something about, then nothing will change for the better. That
threat is the ignorance of the masses. If the majority of people actually understood the issues, and were prepared to stand
up and be counted in ensuring humanitys next phase of evolution comes to fruition, then no matter how much money and
resources are at the disposal of the despots, people power would inevitably reign supreme.
As I explained in a recent article titled The Control-Matrix is Crashing because the Truth-Seekers are Winning, the last
several decades have resulted with:
The Military - Industrial - Media - Politico - Banking Complex Increase their Power and Continue
their Pillage Across the World:
Pharmaceutical monopolies amplifying the drugging of society, as well as keeping many of us sick so
that they maximize their profits;
Movements rise up only to be vilified and disassembled, such as the Occupy Movement;
Science turned into a corporate institution, as well as further hijacked by an inaccurate and small-minded
philosophy of reality;
Wars purposely created with millions of people dying for the whims of the shadow empire;
Radical extremists massaged into proxy armies to do dirty work for the collapsing power structure;
Air, medicine, food and water becoming purposely more toxic;
Governmental policy increasingly being determined by corporate/elite interests;
Police being militarized all around the globe;
The education model struggling to become less of an indoctrination system; and

The agenda of global governance becoming closer to fruition.
Once the tipping point occurs and the masses wake up to these and other realities that threaten the future of our species,
the paradigm shift will be in full swing. To do so, apathy will need to be transcended so that the awareness of the
dysfunctions leads to effective and sustained action and the transformation of our social systems.
The goal? Design them so that we can truly say they are for the benefit of not just all of our fellow man, but our natural
systems too.
Final Thoughts
The original article cited above uses fear to sedate the masses. It claims that one of the biggest threats are attacks on US
and European soil. Of course known false flags like 911, and suspected ones like the 2015 Paris attacks, are insider moves
on the geopolitical chess board, so when the masses are warned that one might occur, its only natural for the indoctrinated
to automatically believe that it was whoever the presstitute media says it is.
Therefore, we must be vigilant when it comes to any significant events which arise. To do so, just stay tuned into the
alternative media because there are many independent truth-seekers and social commentators who are disproving the false
narratives to ensure the truth really is out there.
In addition, to save me reinventing the wheel, in my latest article I note that:
Theres escalating conflict all across the planet. The global economy is deflating from a decades-old debt bubble.
Ignorance, apathy, ill-health and suffering are commonplace.
Politics has sold-out. Money rules the rules. Then of course the consolidation of power has been very successful
by the oligarchs, who have taken primary control of how money and information is circulated throughout society.
There is a bigger picture though. It is important to understand what were dealing with in all its forms, because if we align
ourselves to it then we can co-create with it, no matter if its of positive or negative charge. Yet regardless of the exact
details of all these realities, this is all part of a deeper energetic shift which is not only organic, but being fueled by individual
and community action.
Ultimately, the potential for it to get worse before it gets better is something that we need to accept. Think smart, act smart.
Do it for yourself and your loved ones, but also for the community that you call your home.
Because after all, were all on the same team; help those around you to realise it so that you can begin to build the future
that you dream of in your own backyard, to the best of your ability.
Much love and strength to you all.
The Real Reasons Behind Negative Interest Rates And Banning Cash
March 8 2016 | From: EpochTimes
It's another [planned] bank bailout and it won't end well.

James Grant, the chief editor of Grants Interest Rate Observer, recently said about negative interest rates and a
ban on cash:
What precedes implementation of these ideas is a discussion of them. I think this is coming.
Related: Financial Times Calls For Abolishing Cash In Order "To Give More Power To Central Banks"
Indeed, the orchestrated support from the usual suspects among the mainstream media, pundits, think tanks, banks, and
governments around the world is astounding.
Both editorial boards of Bloomberg and The New York Times wrote two pieces in favor of banning cash. Former Treasury
Secretary Larry Summers and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi voiced their support for the elimination of
large currency notes. Only The Wall Street Journal didnt exactly endorse the idea.
Willem Buiter, the chief economist of Citigroup, summed up the benefits - at least from the governments point of view: All
financial transactions can be taxed by the government or charged a fee by the banks, and bank runs are eliminated because
there is nothing in the bank thats worth making a run for.
Something is going to go wrong is what Im saying."
- James Grant
Germany wants to introduce an initiative in the European Union to ban the 500 euro note and also ban all transactions
above 5,000 euros in cash.
All of the proponents know that negative interest rates, a key element in central banks objective to achieve meaningful
inflation, needed to reduce the debt burden of overextended speculators and businesses, wont happen unless they also
ban cash. Thats why the two ideas often go hand-in-hand in public discussion.
Bank Bailout
They will try negative rates to some extent. I think its going to be hard to push the Fed Funds rate below negative
1.
Thats going to be difficult. People can basically take out cash and put it in a vault and they get a zero return on
it, said Joseph Gagnon, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and former associate
director at the Federal Reserve board.
Buiter and Gagnon are honest and cut straight to the chase of the economics involved. Banning cash and imposing negative
rates allow one to tax and charge consumers even more than today, forcing them to either spend more in the process or
invest in more speculative arenas, such as the stock market.
"'There is an alternative to saving which is called investment or speculation. It involves much greater risk.
A negative interest rate is not only a tax on saving, it is the destruction of saving,said Grant.

James Grant: Something Is Going to Go Wrong
Book Review: International Political Economy
If I have $1,000 in the bank, the next year I will only have $990 because the bank takes the other $10. In fact, this policy is
another bank bailout. Most other proponents of a ban on cash say the measure would reduce money laundering, crime, and
terrorism.
While this is essentially true, it is somewhat odd that the same people didnt think about this 10, 20, or 30 years ago, as
crime, money laundering, and terrorism unfortunately have been around since at least then. Instead, it took them until now:
Conventional and unconventional monetary tools have reached their limit, and negative interest rates seem to be
the only choice left.
Radical monetary policy begets more of the same, that has been the rule. What doesnt work theres more of
it, said Grant.
Unintended Consequences
What is not astounding, however, is the way the general public meets the two ideas with wholesale skepticism. To illustrate
Mr. Gagnons point, the sales of safes are booming in Japan, one of the countries further along in the quest to pass negative
interest rates to the public.
In fact, there are many indicators that pushing negative interest rates on to consumers - many institutions are happily paying
them in the form of negative yields on government bonds - will not be a linear move from 1 to 0 to -1. The system may break
crossing the magical number zero.
According to a survey undertaken by Dutch bank ING, 77 percent of respondents said they would take their money out of
the bank if interest rates went negative, precisely the bank run that Buiter would like to avoid and precisely the reason
negative interest rates would have to go hand-in-hand with a ban on cash.
In addition, lower rates dont mean savers will spend more; instead, it seems to have the opposite effect. Data compiled by
Bank of America shows that in countries with very low or negative deposit rates, savers tend to save more, not spend more.
Related: Why The Powers That Be Are Pushing A Cashless Society
In Switzerland, for example, as the deposit rate moved from a bit less than 1 percent in 2008 to close to 0 percent in 2015,
the savings rate increased from 21 percent to 24 percent. The same move can be seen in Denmark and Sweden in more
recent years. The motto: If I am getting a lower return on my savings, which lowers my total savings goal, I just have to save
more to achieve my target.
So negative interest rates are a conceit of the academic economists who run the monetary institutions of the
world. I think the theory is dubious and the practice, as we have seen it so far, is equally doubtful, said Grant.
I think this is a terrifically bullish moment for gold. I think its a very sad moment for the institution of fiat money.
But fiat money has never worked out well in the very long run. Maybe were in the very long run, he added.
Even if all cash were banned and people were forced to accept negative rates on their bank deposits, it may well not lead to
more consumption, but merely bid up the prices or other stores of value, like gold.
People may even prefer to own heavy pieces of machinery, art, diamonds, and musical instruments, which preserve
purchasing power relatively better than a negative rate on banking deposits. People usually chose those methods to
preserve purchasing power during times of hyperinflation, like in the Weimar Republic.
And while stocks and real estate will certainly get a boost, most studies show that real, inflation-adjusted returns are often
negative because wrong incentives distort the pricing mechanism. Capital is misallocated, and transactions slow down if
people are trading goods and services in gold ingots rather than wire transfers.

In short, the push for negative interest rates and a ban on cash has nothing to do with terrorists or money laundering. It has
everything to do with bailing out the banks and trying to remedy central bank policy that didnt work in the past. As James
Grant put it: Something is going to go wrong is what Im saying.
The [Attempted] Final Control: TPP, TTIP, TISA Global Corporate Takeover
March 6 2016 | From: 21stCenturyWire
This is a new geopolitical war, taking place between the United States and China.
The rise of the so-called BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with countless
other emerging economies, means that global power relations are gradually tipping away from the Anglo-American
Axis, and towards Eurasia.

How Billionaires Use Non-Profits To Bypass Governments And Force Their Agendas
On Humanity
March 4 2016 | From: Alternet
As wealth becomes concentrated in fewer hands, so does political and social power via
foundations and non-profits.
As wealth becomes concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, the billionaire class is increasingly turning to
foundations and non-profits to enact the change they would like to see in the world.
Amid the rise of philanthrocapitalism, growing numbers of critics are raising serious questions about whether this outsized
influence is doing more harm than good.
In the January issue of the New York Review of Books, veteran journalist Michael Massing noted that, in the past 15 years
alone, the number of foundations with a billion dollars or more in assets has doubled, to more than eighty.
The philanthropic sector in the United States is far more significant than in Europe, fueled in part by generous tax write-offs,
which the U.S. public subsidizes to the tune of $40 billion a year.
As Massing observes, billionaires are not just handing over their money, they have ideas about how it should be used, and
their vision often aligns with their own economic interests. For this reason, the philanthropy industry deserves rigorous
scrutiny, not a free pass because it is in the service of good.
Massings argument followed a study released in January by the watchdog organization Global Policy Forum, which found
that philanthropic foundations are so powerful they are allowing wealthy individuals to bypass governments and international
bodies like the United Nations in pursuit of their own agendas.
Whats more, this outsized influence is concentrated in the United States, where 19 out of the top 27 largest foundations are
based. These 27 foundations together possess $360 billion, write authors Jens Martens and Karolin Seitz.
Such dramatic wealth accumulation has disturbing implications.
What is the impact of framing the problems and defining development solutions by applying the business logic of
profit-making institutions to philanthropic activities, for instance by results-based management or the focus on
technological quick-win solutions in the sectors of health and agriculture?" the report asks.
These questions are not new, as social movements have long raised the alarm about the global impact of the ever-
expanding philanthropy sector. In 2010, the international peasant movement La Via Campesina blasted the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundations acquisition of Monsanto shares as proof that its role in privatizing the global food supply and exporting
big agribusiness, from Africa to North America, should be viewed through a commercial rather than humanitarian lens.
It is really shocking for the peasant organizations and social movements in Haiti to learn about the decision of the
[Gates] Foundation to buy Monsanto shares while it is giving money for agricultural projects in Haiti that promote
the companys seed and agrochemicals, said Chavannes Jean-Baptiste of the Haitian Peasant Movement of
Papaye and Caribbean coordinator of La Via Campesina at the time.
The peasant organizations in Haiti want to denounce this policy which is against the interests of 80 percent of the
Haitian population, and is against peasant agriculture - the base of Haitis food production.
The Gates Foundation more recently fell under scrutiny from the advocacy organization Global Justice Now, which released
a report in January raising concerns about the institutions track record on education, food and health care policies.
The Gates Foundation has rapidly become the most influential actor in the world of global health and agricultural
policies, but theres no oversight or accountability in how that influence is managed, said Polly Jones of Global
Justice Now.
This concentration of power and influence is even more problematic when you consider that the philanthropic
vision of the Gates Foundation seems to be largely based on the values of corporate America. The foundation is
relentlessly promoting big business-based initiatives such as industrial agriculture, private health care and
education. But these are all potentially exacerbating the problems of poverty and lack of access to basic resources
that the foundation is supposed to be alleviating.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, raised eyebrows in December when they announced they
would give away 99 percent of their wealth. As it turned out, this was not a giveaway at all, but a shifting of funds into their
own limited liability company (LLC).
Just weeks later, Zuckerberg lashed out at Indian media justice advocates who raised concerns about his companys efforts
to undermine net neutrality protections in their country.
Like many others, Massing is calling for greater transparency, not only for foundations but for think tanks, Hollywood, Silicon
Valley and universities. Pointing to the website Inside Philanthropy, whose stated purpose is to pull back the curtain on one
of the most powerful and dynamic forces shaping society, Massing argues that far greater and better-resourced scrutiny is
needed. There remains the question of how to pay for all this, writes Massing, posing: Is there perhaps a consortium of
donors out there willing to fund an operation that would part the curtains on its own world?
But some argue that we already have all the information we need to be concerned. In December, Vandana Shiva, an
ecofeminist and activist, wrote in response to Zuckerbergs move in India that a:
Ccollective corporate assault is underway globally. Having lined up all their ducks, veterans of corporate America
such as Bill Gates are being joined by the next wave of philanthro-corporate Imperialists, including Mark
Zuckerberg.
It is an enclosure of the commons, she continued, which are commons because they guarantee access to the
commoner, whether it be seed, water, information or internet.
Cashless Crisis: With Digital Payments, Civilization Comes To An End Until Power Is
Restored
February 28 2016 | From: SHTFPlan
As most of the Western world is pushed into abandoning cash and embracing a fully digital
cashless grid, it is apparent how vulnerable populations will become in times of crisis.
If the power grid were to go down in a storm or an attack, it is readily apparent that the system of commerce would
go down with it; payments would stop and desperate people would line up for help.
Related: Marc Faber On Cashless Society Insanity And Why Wall Street Hates Gold
Those with their own supplies, barter items and physical commodities will remain the most comfortable, but the very fabric of
society could come unglued.
Will they really ban cash when so much could go wrong?
Paul-Martin Foss writes for the Carl Menger Center:
Cash is being displaced by credit and debit cards, which are themselves beginning to be displaced by
new digital currencies and payment systems
But despite all the advances brought about by the digital revolution, there are still quite a few drawbacks.
The most obvious is that it is reliant on electricity. One major hurricane knocking out power, a mid-
summer brownout, or a hacker attack on the power grid could bring commerce to a halt.
With cash, transactions are still possible. With digital payments, civilization comes to an end until power is
restored. Unless you have food stored or goods with which to barter, youre out of luck. Just imagine a city like
New York with no power and no way to buy or sell anything. It wont be pretty.
[]
With digital currencies such as Bitcoin, there is the problem that they are created out of thin air. One bitcoin
represents the successful completion of a cryptographic puzzle, but all that means is that some computing power
was used up to create a unique electronic file. Thats all it is, just a series of ones and zeros.
There is nothing tangible about Bitcoin and, indeed, if you lose the hard drive on which you stored your
bitcoins, those bitcoins are lost forever."
On top of that, the potential for manipulation and the built-in assault of surveillance and tracking is enough to cripple liberties
in the world that is cementing its patterns around this new technology.
Related: When Cash Is Outlawed... Only Outlaws Will Have Cash
What happens when online platforms dont like your speech or your rights? What happens if their policy blocks you from
buying something like a gun that you have the right to buy, or prevents you from spending your money, potentially
freezing your account without notice. Again, the Menger Center makes the point:
Take a look at PayPal, for instance. PayPals terms of service forbid use of the service to buy or sell
firearms, firearms parts, or firearms accessories. Many individuals who have used PayPal to sell firearms
parts find their accounts frozen or shut down by PayPal.
Similar things have happened to gun stores having their bank accounts frozen or having their credit card payment
processors refuse to process
[]
Cases such as this will only be more widespread in the future, especially as governments continue to
pursue the war on cash. If cash is eliminated and electronic systems become the only way anyone can pay
for anything, all it will take is a little bit of government pressure on payment system operators to stop
processing payments for X or Y and voila, you can longer buy X or Y.
What good is money in the bank if you cant use it to buy what you want? In fact, governments may dispense with
pressure on payment systems and just monitor transactions as they occur, automatically rejecting payments for
goods they dont want
Every transaction made electronically can be tracked and traced. If every purchase you make is done
electronically, your entire purchase history is open to scrutiny."
The powerful banking lobby, of course, wants a digital cashless system, because it will enrich them with transaction fees
and penalties, continue and expand fractional reserve lending, and give them the power to monitor all the transactions, at
detailed levels with data for every purchase. But despite this monitoring, money and transactions will not necessarily be
more secure.
You cannot hold your money, you must be able to access it, and that depends upon authorization of the system. It can be
hacked or erased in a split second.
Can you keep the financial system from limiting your rights and invading your privacy?

Jumping The TPPA Gun Could Backfire [Depending On Your Point Of View]
February 25 2016 | From: Greens [This is not a political endorsement but pertinent questions are asked with highly revealing
answers]
Yesterday in Parliament I asked the Prime Minister if he is planning to change our laws to
implement the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), even before it is clear if the US
Congress will ratify it.
The Prime Minister said he was going to push ahead with changing our laws and wouldnt wait to see if the US was
going to actually ratify the agreement.
If Congress doesnt agree to the TPPA, or if the Japanese Parliament doesnt, the whole deal falls apart. This is because the
TPPA requires ratification by countries representing at least 85 percent of the total GDP, and that means the US and Japan
have to be on board.
The problem is that its far from clear if the US Congress will ever ratify the TPPA in its current form.
A majority is currently opposed. Some members are demanding further concessions for the US tobacco industry or the big
pharmaceutical companies, which would be bad for New Zealand.
While President Obama is supportive, none of the Democratic or Republican front-runners to replace him support the TPPA.
We could find ourselves in a lose-lose situation where weve changed our laws to suit the TPPA, but the TPPA itself
never comes into force so the tariffs and other trade barriers dont disappear for our exporters.
So then I asked, if the TPPA becomes null and void because the US Congress dumps it, will New Zealand reverse the
changes to our laws that well have already made?
The Prime Ministers answer was no. The Government wont delay introducing and passing legislation to ratify the
TPPA, and then wont reverse the laws if it doesnt go ahead.
Figure 1.1: Globalist minion bitches do as instructed
He seems to be saying that we could be left with several alarming changes to our laws, with absolutely no trade
benefit in return. These include:
Raising the threshold at which Overseas Investment Office approval is needed from $100 million to $200 million,
making it easier for overseas investors to buy up our farmland and industry.
Changing the length of copyright from 50 years to 70 years, with an annual cost of around $55 million. Well also
need to establish new enforcement powers for Customs, and new civil and criminal penalties for copyright
infringement [in part to shut down websites that expose the actions of the criminal cabal].
Changes to the Patents Act, which are likely to complicate Pharmacs access to cheaper medicines.
Changing the Plant Varieties Act, making it harder for farmers to save seeds for use in the following season, and
the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act to strengthen the rights of agricultural chemical
manufacturers.
Changes to the Tariff Act and the Customs and Excise Act dropping our tariffs for other TPPA countries.
Changes to the Trade Marks Act.

Thankfully, some of the most alarming aspects of the TPPA, such as the investor state dispute process that allows
corporations to sue governments, dont require legislative change. So if the TPPA does fall apart in the US Congress, we
wont have already swallowed that particular dead rat. But we will have swallowed others.
Should I Keep All My Savings In A Bank Or Not?

February 21 2016 | From: Jack
In answer to questions about investment and keeping money in the bank for a rainy day in
anticipation of an impending global banking liquidity crisis;
Basically the global banks have been printing trillions of dollars out of thin air, and loaning it out to governments,
corporations and individuals to buy shares and property thus massively inflating the value of those products. You
can see numerous references to this in the Banking Crimes & Criminals section of this website.
Related: Open Bank Resolution Policy a Scary Bank Secret
This massive mountain of debt is now becoming unsustainable and to temporarily stop the stack of cards from collapsing,
they are lowering interest rates down to even negative rates, to delay the inevitable which is now getting very close.
Simplified, this unethical process works like this:
A young farmer bought a farm at the end of WW2 for $NZ3000 dollars. In 2016, because of inflation in the currency it is
now worth $10 million, but he is now too old to farm it so wants to sell it.
Another young farmer comes along who wants to buy it but hasnt got the money to pay for it, so he goes to his local bank
who loans him $10 million to buy it (which money the bank has created out of thin air).
The bank give him a cheque, and the young farmer gives the old farmer his $10 million with the bank placing a mort-gage
(death-bond in French) over the farm as security for the loan which they have created out of thin air.
The old farmer, who by this time is financially well off retires to his holiday home at the beach, and says to his dear wife.
Darling, what shall we do with the proceeds from the farm? Dear, she says, I think we will be conservative and just deposit it
back in the bank.
So they go to their local bank to deposit the $10 million back into the same bank that wrote the cheque for the young
farmer in the first place.
So all that has happened is that the ownership of the property has been transferred from the old farmer to the bank by
way of their mortgage over the security. However, the increase in the deposits held by the bank has risen by $10 million.
In New Zealand, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand calls this rise massive in deposits of money created out of thin
air C17 Household Deposits.
Related: International Ownership of New Zealand Banks
They keep a record each month of the growth in these deposits in all the banks registered with the Reserve Bank, as do all
other countries controlled by the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland, in turn controlled by the Bank of
England.
If banks did not take this counterfeit toilet paper out of the system, the whole system would collapse and we would have
hyperinflation. When the system soon collapses, the banks are going to steal these C17 household deposits and recapitalise
the banks with peoples saving through a devious system called Open Bank Resolution.
Related: Reserve Bank of New Zealand: Open Bank Resolution
Here are the current statistics of C17 Household deposits of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which shows people are re-
depositing most of this massive growth in credit back into their savings accounts and superannuation funds which all will
be taken when Open Bank Resolution is implemented.
Note the growth in deposits currently is rising at about $1 to $2 billion per month at present simply horrendous. now with
$151 billion sitting in savings accounts or one and a half times the current market capitalisation of the NZ Stock market at
present.
They cannot allow this money to be withdrawn to go into share of property investment as it would again double its value over
night. As they continue to drop interest rates to negative interest rates, the danger of this happening is guaranteed, and thus
is the period that Open Bank Resolution will occur.
Look at the list closely! But a house, commercial property or whatever, but do not leave your life savings in the bank or in a
superannuation fund!

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: Obsolete, At Birth

February 20 2016 | From: Werewolf
Already, the European Commission wants to scrap the TPPs investor-state dispute mechanisms.
One of the great clichs of the Trans Pacific Partnership debate is that the deal is a comprehensive, high quality,
21st century trade agreement.
Conveniently, this flatters the self-image of TPP proponents who like to think of themselves as rational, forward-thinking
economic realists, even as they dismiss TPP critics as misinformed, overly emotional, anti-American featherbrains with an
ingrained hostility to all forms of free trade.
Prime Minister John Key has gone out of his way to frame the debate in those terms .
So then, what are we to make of the fact that one of the central elements of the TPP the investor state dispute
settlement (ISDS) mechanisms is already obsolete? In November, barely two months after the TPP deal was completed,
the European Trade Commission formally presented to the US its proposal to scrap the existing ISDS system, and to
replace it in all future trade deals with an Investment Court System.
The EC envisages for instance, that this new system and not the ISDS tribunals enshrined in the TPP should govern any
and all trade disputes arising from the upcoming Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
"The EU has formally presented to the US its proposal for a reformed approach on investment protection and a
new and more transparent system for resolving disputes between investors and states: the Investment Court
System...
The final text includes all the key elements of the Commissions proposal of 16 September, which aims at
safeguarding the right to regulate and create a court-like system with an appeal mechanism based on clearly
defined rules, with qualified judges and transparent proceedings.
The proposal also includes additional improvements on access to the new system by small and medium sized
companies.
The new system would replace the existing investor-to-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism in TTIP and in
all ongoing and future EU trade and investment negotiations.
Today marks the end of a long internal process in the EU to develop a modern approach on investment protection
and dispute resolution for the TTIP and beyond, said EC Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
Malmstom has elaborated on the concerns that she has about the current ISDS system. Ironically, her concerns echo the
same criticisms of the ISDS tribunals that TPP opponents in New Zealand have expressed, and that the likes of Key and
Steven Joyce continue to pooh-pooh.
As Malstrom puts it:
"From the start of my mandate almost a year ago, ISDS has been one of the most controversial issues in my brief.
I met and listened to many people and organisations, including NGOs, which voiced a number of concerns about
the old, traditional system.
Its clear to me that all these complaints had one common feature that there is a fundamental and widespread
lack of trust by the public in the fairness and impartiality of the old ISDS model. This has significantly affected the
publics acceptance of ISDS and of companies bringing such cases."
So how do we create public trust?
Malmstrom asks herself:
"We need to introduce the same elements that lead citizens to trust their domestic courts. Concretely, I want to
restore trust by setting up an Investment Court System under TTIP one that is accountable, transparent and
subject to democratic principles.
It will be judges, not arbitrators, who sit on these cases. They must have qualifications comparable to those found
in national domestic courts, or in international courts such as the International Court of Justice or the WTO
Appellate Body.
Also the judges will be publically appointed in advance. And, like in courts, you wont be able to choose which
judges hear your case. Furthermore, we will guarantee there is no conflict of interest. Again, like in domestic and
international courts, the judges wont be able to continue any activities which might interfere with their judicial
functions. Finally, I want to introduce an Appeal Tribunal. Just like in domestic legal systems and the World Trade
Organization.
The Investment Court System will also enshrine governments right to regulate. Our proposal includes a direct
instruction to the judges, which the appeal tribunal will ensure is properly respected. All this will be done in a
system where there is even greater transparency than in domestic courts, with all documents online and all
hearings open to the public.
An overview of the proposal can be found here. The full text of the proposal along with a readers guide is also
available."
In other words, the European Trade Commissioner has heard, and shares, many of the same concerns that TPP opponents
have voiced about the foreign investment mechanisms contained in the TPP. Moreover, the EC has formally proposed a
means to resolve them.
So why should New Zealand which has two years to ratify the TPP rush into:
a) Ratifying an ISDS process that the European Commission has deemed to be faulty and
b) Where an alternative system that resolves many of its faults is in train and which
c) Is very likely to be included in the next cab off the global trade rank : the TTIP. Surely, even Phil Goff can see the
wisdom of holding fire, and implementing what Malmstrom is advocating.
If we want a TPP that is truly a high quality, comprehensive, 21st century deal the answer is obvious : we should wait for as
long as is possible within the two year window open to us, and seek to incorporate the Investment Court System within it. (
Probably, the US Congress wont be voting to ratify the TPP until 2017.)
That wouldnt make the TPP an ideal document, or even a very good deal for the wider public. But it would improve it, and it
would help to remove one of the central, entirely valid public objections to it.
At the very least, we should not be rushing into rubber-stamping a deal whose most contentious feature is outmoded and
out of step with where trade policy is now headed, via the upcoming TTIP.
In the meantime, Key and Joyce should stop badmouthing the New Zealanders who feel concerned about ISDS. Because it
is Key and Joyce who are pushing an out-of-date measure that was never fit for purpose.
Throughout the debate on the TPP, there have been claims and counter claims about whether ISDS mechanisms do pose a
threat to this nations sovereignty. Proponents point to previous trade deals containing ISDS provisions that have not yet
resulted in threats to sovereignty.
These so far, so good responses are illogical in that they dont follow the same logic that we pursue in areas such as
arms proliferation, where we pre-emptively try to minimise the dissemination of potential dangers, rather than waiting for
them to blow up in our face before deciding to act.
In that respect, surprisingly little of the sovereignty debate on the TPP has mentioned the precedents that exist in ISDS case
law, which give ample reason for concern about the ability of nation states to remain able to regulate in the public interest.
The rest of this article will cite some of the relevant precedents.
1. Actions Against Governments Regulating for Environmental Reasons
Example : Bilcon of Delaware Inc v Canada et al.
One of the most contentious areas of ISDS case law is the extent to which countries can be held liable after:
a) Giving investors every indication that a project would be welcome and would proceed, but then
b) Backtracking after factors such as the environmental impact (and the political reactions to it) have been
assessed. Ultimately, it all hinges on the extent to which the early representations made by the host state (or
region) are deemed to have aroused legitimate expectations among the investors that then qualify them for
compensation if the project is subsequently quashed.
Obviously, countries (and needy regions) routinely make rosy overtures to investors before the full implications (and the
environmental impacts and political blowback) of the project become known. Not all of these enticements render the host
country legally liable.
Yet one can readily imagine the likes of John Key or Murray McCully or Steven Joyce promising the moon to a wealthy
prospective foreign investor in New Zealands oil exploration or mining sectors, and then ordering public servants to make it
happen. Any rash promises (that the permit system will be no problem etc) can return to bite a host country, in court.
Because under certain conditions, such enticements generate legitimate expectations under the fair and equitable
treatment standard. The question becomes one of just how specific, and just how unambiguous those enticements must be
in order to land the host country in multi-million dollar trouble.
The relevant cases here are Waste Management v United Mexican States, Parkerings-Compagniet AS v Republic of
Lithuania, and Sampra Energy International v the Argentine Republic. In that last case, the ruling confirmed that the
legitimate expectations rule applies when the investment has been attracted and induced by means of assurances and
representations.
The 2015 case that put major heat on the TPP negotiators to reach a consensus wording about when and how ISDS
provisions should apply was Bilcon v Canada, a case taken under the NAFTA trade deal.
In a majority opinion delivered last March, the courts found that Canada had to pay compensation to US investors who had
been planning to build a quarry in Nova Scotia that is, until regional and federal panels vetoed the quarry on the grounds
that it would damage the environment and would breach core community values.
A Toronto Globe and Mail article on the Bilcon case can be found here.
This ruling now lays Canada open to a $300 million damages suit. It came just one month after Canada was ordered to pay
$US17.3 million in compensation to Exxon Mobil (and its joint partner) after an ISDS panel ruled that the provinces of
Newfoundland and Labrador had violated NAFTA by imposing research requirements retro-actively onto offshore oil
producers, as part of a benefits package to the local regions adjacent to where the oil was being extracted.
Good law, or a case of corporate bullying being richly rewarded?
As University of Vienna legal expert Stefan Dudas has pointed out, the Bilcon finding against Canada was all the more
important given the abundance of ISDS treaty disputes worldwide that are related to the mining sector.
"There are more than 130 cases registered with ICSID [World Bank}alone that deal with oil, gas and mining
disputes, and broken promises by host state officials is a recurring issue.
The Bilcon firm successfully argued that Nova Scotia and Canada had shifted the goalposts on the environmental standards
for the quarry after the company had responded to their welcoming noises, and Bilcon further alleged that this change of
heart had been politically driven.
In his minority dissent, as reported in the Toronto Globe and Mail article cited above, University of Ottawa law professor
Donald McRae counter-claimed that the Bilcon ruling represents a significant intrusion into domestic jurisdiction, and would
create a chill among environmental review panels that will now be reluctant to rule against projects that would cause undue
harm to the environment, or to human health.
Dudas, while sympathetic to the investors, reaches a not dissimilar conclusion about the Bilcon outcome :
"[It] confirms that host State representations, assurances or promises aimed at persuading a specific investor to
make an investment commitment may give rise to reasonable expectations that can result in, or at least serve as
starting point for a breach of the international minimum standard of treatment if the State does not live up to its
word..
While one may understand the desire of capital-importing states to attract foreign investments.a lesson to be
learnt from past experience is that encouragements to invest by state officials should not be taken lightly,
especially when environmental-law concerns are at stake."
So how does this relate to the TPP? Last September, the influential US Congressman Sander Levin wrote a well publicised
memo seeking re-assurance that TPP negotiators would devise language to shut the stable door on the ISDS provisions, in
order to ensure:
a) That the Bilcon findings could not be repeated and
b) That the burden of proof was shifted onto the investor, by requiring them to prove that any damage done to their
realistic profit expectations had truly been due to arbitrary changes of policy by the host country.
Unfortunately, such sensible safeguards have not been built into the final TPP text and safeguards that were contained in
a leaked 2012 TPP draft of the ISDS provisions have now been dropped. Certainly, some side issues have been
addressed.
Tobacco health policy by governments has been exempted from ISDS challenge, and frivolous suits will be harder to bring
yet the ambit of what can be subject to ISDS challenge has actually been expanded. Financial regulation will now be subject
to ISDS.
This means that for example the governments discretion to regulate the marketing of the kind of toxic instruments that
created the GFC only six years ago, will henceforth be liable to ISDS challenge. Also, under the finalized TPP, the World
Trade Organization rules on the creation, limitation or revocation of intellectual property rights will be ISDS-actionable.
Before now, this wasnt the case.
The list goes onunder the final TPP text, no requirement has been placed on disgruntled foreign investors to first seek
redress in the New Zealand courts before launching their ISDS actions.
As a consequence, foreign firms will be free to bypassd our courts and shop around overseas for an ISDS tribunal with a
track record of sympathy for their grievances.
Even when governments win, they will remain be liable for ISDS tribunal costs, which as Public Citizen has pointed out,
currently average around $US8 million per case. Crucially, the burden of proof in ISDS cases has not been shifted in line
with the Levin memo.
It is easy to see why multinational corporations having just had their powers to challenge, punish and intimidate sovereign
governments via the ISDS tribunals whose reach has just expanded by the TPP would be hostile to the more impartial and
more transparent judicial system that Malmstrom and the European Commission is proposing to replace the ISDS tribunals.
Obviously, any future court cannot allow itself to be shackled by the narrow and flawed precedents set by that system.
In the coming weeks and months, John Key and his fellow travellers (eg, Phil Goff ) should explain why they would want to
rush to ratify the TPP and the ISDS provisions it contains, when a fairer system thats better able to allay public fears, is
already waiting in the wings.
Footnote : Here are some other cases that illustrate how the ISDS procedures pose a genuine risk to the sovereign right of
governments to rule in the public good. Much of this subsequent information comes from Pia Eberhardts July 2014 report
Investment Protection At A Crossroads published by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, a think tank associated with the Social
Democratic Party (SPD). Since December 2013, the SPD has been part of a grand coalition led by Angela Merkel. Where I
can, Ive updated Eberhardts paper.
2. ISDS Actions Against Governments Seeking to Phase out Nuclear Plants
Example: Vattenfall v. Germany (II):
Aberhardts precis: Since 2012, the Swedish power company Vattenfall has been suing the German government on the
basis of investment protection rules in the multilateral Energy Charter Treaty.
Vattenfall wants over 3.7 billion euros in compensation for the decommissioning of the Krmmel and Brunsbuttel nuclear
power plants in the context of the German nuclear phase-out following the Fukushima disaster.
Both of these fault-prone reactors were already offline when the German parliament passed the law to phase out nuclear
power.
My footnote: A previous case brought against Germany by Vattenfall was settled via an agreement by the Germans to
water down their environmental permit system, in favour of the corporation.
The settlement of this previous Vattenfall case is summarised here:
"The Vattenfall I Dispute Case (20092011) Regarding Environmental Regulations Applying to the Coal-Fired
Power Plant Hamburg-Moorburg In 2009, the company Vattenfall filed its first complaint against the German
federal government with the ICSID in Washington, D.C. This was the first (known) investor-state arbitration
procedure against Germany.
At issue in that case was the construction of a new coal-fired power plant in Hamburg-Moorburg, situated on the
River Elbe. The Hamburg Environmental Authority had issued a licence imposing water quality standards, which,
according to Vattenfall, made the whole investment project unviable.
The corporation argued that the environmental permit violated the provisions set out in Part 3 of the Energy
Charter Treaty regarding the promotion and protection of investments and proceeded to file a compensation claim
against Germany of about 1.4 billion, plus arbitration costs and interest.
The dispute between Germany and Vattenfall was settled in the spring of 2011, with Germany agreeing to a
watered down environmental permit in favour of the corporation."
It should be noted that this watering down of government regulation occurred even though the claim that Vattenfall had
suffered damage had been rejected by the ISDS panel.
3. ISDS Actions Against Governments Seeking to Regulate to Limit the Environmental Damage
Caused by Fracking
Example: Lone Pine v. Canada:
Aberhardt summary: The oil and gas company Lone Pine has been suing Canada since 2012 for $250 million in Canadian
dollars in damages. Because of the danger of environmental destruction posed by fracking, the province of Quebec issued a
moratorium on the controversial deep drilling technique and in this context revoked a number of drilling licenses.'
Lone Pine is headquartered in Canada, but it is suing the country through a letterbox company in the US tax haven of
Delaware based on the investment protection provisions in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between
the US, Canada and Mexico.
My footnote : this case seems to be ongoing. This confidentiality order issued in March 2015 and the subsequent
redactions perfectly illustrate the difficulty in the public gaining any transparency about the ISDS tribunal procedures, even
though the public may end up footing the bill.
4. ISDS Actions Against Governments Seeking to Regulate to Ensure Water Protection
Example: Pacific Rim v. El Salvador:
Aberhardt : Since 2009, the mining company Pacific Rim has been conducting a lawsuit against a mining moratorium in El
Salvador based on the investment protection rules in the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) between the
United States and several Central American countries.
The moratorium was imposed following massive popular protests against environmental destruction and water pollution from
mining activities. Because Pacific Rim cannot open its planned gold mine El Dorado as a result, the corporation wants
301 million US dollars in compensation for the loss of the expected profits, hence about 1 per cent of the gross domestic
product of the country.
Pacific Rim is headquartered in Canada (which is not a party to CAFTA) and is conducting its action through a subsidiary in
the US state of Nevada.
My footnote : a January 2016 Counterpunch article on the fracking/water protection issues in North America with respect to
ISDS can be found here.
5. ISDS Actions to Limit Corporations Having to Pay Compensation for Environmental Crimes
Example: Chevron v. Ecuador:
Eberhardt: 'Since 2009, the US multinational oil company Chevron has been suing Ecuador on the basis of the United
States-Ecuador investment agreement, because it had been sentenced by Ecuadorian courts to pay 9.5 billion US dollars in
compensation to indigenous communities for massive environmental pollution wrongly, according to Chevron.
To date, the three-man tribunal which is hearing the case has found in favour of the corporation and has called upon the
government of Ecuador not to carry out the sentence.
Lovin' their Loosh
The fact that Ecuador has rejected this by appeal to the separation of powers in its constitution is now being interpreted by
Chevron as a violation of the standard of fair and equitable negotiation in investment law for which Chevron is in turn
seeking compensation.'
My footnote. On January 20, 2016, a District Court of Justice panel in the Hague found in favour of Chevron on its
counterclaim for a $106 million arbitration award against Ecuador. The International Court has not yet ruled on the central
$9.5 billion claim. Ecuador is appealing the arbitration decision.
Clearly, this case should be special interest to Maori in their role as kaitiaki over customary rights, in the event of an oil spill.
Ecuador is not only being denied compensation for the pollution damage that its indigenous communities have suffered at
the hands of Big Oil, but it has been successfully counter-sued by Chevron for the way it went about bringing its suit.
6. ISDS Actions Against Governments Trying to Regulate to Protect their Banking Systems
Example: Potov Banka & Istro-kapital v. Greece:
Eberhardt: 'The Slovak Potov Banka and its Cypriot shareholder Istrokapital have been suing Greece since 2013 on
account of the haircut on the countrys sovereign debt. In 2010, Potov Banka had bought Greek government bonds at a
knockdown price.
When Greece was negotiating a reduction of the debts with its creditors two years later, the bank opposed the haircut. The
legal basis for the action is provided by bilateral investment agreements between Greece and Slovakia and between Greece
and Cyprus. The level of damages demanded is not known.'
My footnote : In mid 2015, a court ruling found in favour of Greece, in a ruling that largely turned on the different treatment
of loans and bonds under the relevant treaties.
Again, this ruling should be of interest to New Zealand, given the widening of the TPPs ambit to include financial regulation.
7. ISDS Actions to Prevent Governments from Regulating to Raise the Minimum Wage
Example: Veolia v. Egypt:
Eberhardt summary: 'Since 2012, the French utility company Veolia has been suing Egypt based on the bilateral investment
agreement between France and Egypt for an alleged breach of a contract for waste disposal in the city of Alexandria.
The city had refused to make changes to the contract which Veolia wanted in order to meet higher costs in part due to the
introduction of a minimum wage. In addition, according to Veolia, the local police had failed to prevent the massive theft of
dustbins by the local population. According to media reports, Veolia wants 82 million euros in compensation.'
My footnote : as far as I can tell, this case is still pending. But there is a more extensive account of the case and that is
more sympathetic to Veolia available here.
8. ISDS Actions to Prevent Governments to Acting Reverse the Illegal Privatisation of State
Assets
Example: Indorama v. Egypt:
Eberhardt summary : 'Since 2011, the Indonesian textile group Indorama has been suing Egypt because an Egyptian court
ordered the re-nationalization of a textile factory that had been privatized according to the court, unlawfully under the
Mubarak regime.
The judgement had been preceded by a strike and occupations by textile workers calling for the re-nationalization of the
company and for better working conditions and wages.' (Perry 2011)
My footnote : this case was finally settled in July 2015. The company claimed $150 million as compensation; the settlement
awarded them $55 million.
9. ISDS Actions to Prevent Governments from Regulating to Ensure Cheaper Medicines
Example : Eli Lilly v. Canada:
Eberhardt: 'The US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly has been conducting an action since 2013 against Canadas patent
law on the basis of the investor protection in NAFTA, because Canadian courts had declared two of its patents on medicines
void.
The patents for Strattera to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and Zyprexa to treat schizophrenia were revoked
because the promised benefit had not been adequately demonstrated in a short test phase with a small number of test
persons.
Eli Lilly wants 500 million US dollars in compensation and is also attacking Canadian patent law, according to which a patent
is granted only if the promised benefits of an invention can be adequately proven at the time of the patent application.'
My footnote : the progress of this case can be followed here.
The latest manoeuvre a belated jurisdictional challenge suggests that Canada is running out of options to avoid another
defeat under NAFTA.
10. ISDS Actions to Prevent Governments from Regulating in Favour of Environmental Protection
Example: Renco v. Peru:
Eberhardt: 'Because the mining company Doe Run had not satisfied the promised environmental protection measures at a
metal smelting plant in the town of La Oroya in the Peruvian Andes, the government revoked its operating licence.
As a result, the corporation has been conducting a lawsuit since 2011 based on the bilateral United States-Peru free trade
agreement through its US parent, the Renco Group, for 800 million US dollars in damages.
Environmental organizations have repeatedly declared La Oroya to be one of the most polluted places in the world'
My footnote: the outcome in this case seems to be still pending.
The Strangest Banking Trend that No One Thought Could Happen, Is Happening
February 19 2016 | From: AtlasObscura
For centuries, if you gave someone a loan, that money usually came with a cost. This cost,
otherwise known as interest, whether formalised in legal documents, agreed to with a handshake,
or enforced with an implicit or explicit threat, was one of the few constants in banking.
But for some of the worlds largest government banks, an idea that was dismissed as outlandish has recently
become a strange reality: negative interest rates.
Related: Banking & Negative Interest Rates: The Truth About "Austerity": = Wealth Transfer
It's exactly as it sounds - Banks can now charge people for the privilege of holding their money.
This would seem to de-incentivize formerly desired behavior. Why would depositors continue to buy government bonds if it
made more financial sense, on paper, to stuff it in their mattress?
In 2009, however, Sweden became the first country in modern times to lower interest rates below zero, both to fight the 2008
financial crisis and to avoid a so-called liquidity trap, when money becomes trapped in government banks.
Less than five years later, the European Central Bank, which
administers monetary policy for the eurozone, also installed
negative interest rates - currently at negative 0.3 percent.
The Bank of Japan became the most recent government bank

to do so, narrowly voting in January to adopt a negative 0.1
percent rate.
Government banks for years encouraged spending by lowering

interest rates on government bonds and other investments,
getting ever closer to zero and, in the process, steering
depositors toward spending money instead of stashing it away.
The influential British economist John Maynard Keynes [cabal

minion - pictured left] predicted decades ago that government
banks might someday consider negative interest rates to hasten
this process, in part to help fight low inflation or deflation.
But Keynes didnt actually think it would happen, not expecting

that anyone would pay banks to hold their money instead of
withdrawing it as cash.
Yet, Swedens 2009 lowering of rates - seemingly without many

of the negative consequences that some economists had
predicted - paved the way for larger government banks to
experiment with the approach.
The European Central Bank lowered its rate twice more after
initially going below zero in June 2014.
The phenomenon created ripples stateside even though negative interest rates remain a tough sell in the U.S. Investors felt
the most immediate effects, as bank stocks in Europe took a dive after government banks went below zero.
Consumers may see lower rates but negative interest rates doesn't mean that, say, banks will suddenly give you money
when you take out loans. Retail banks probably won't be charging consumer depositors to hold their money any time soon,
lest they risk a bank run.
Anything is possible, though. Their swift transformation from theoretical abstraction to real possibility seemed unlikely as
soon as three years ago, when former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers floated the idea, only to be dismissed by many
economists, who argued then that negative interest rates would unnecessarily spook investors.
It could affect confidence and be a challenge to the animal spirits, Joseph LaVorgna, the chief economist for
Deutsche Bank, told Bloomberg then.
Other commentators insisted that negative interest rates would likely never happen on American soil, because, as economics
blogger Felix Salmon said, they were possibly "un-American.
(Salmon did allow for the possibility that it was more of a psychological problem than a real one. If you pay fees on your
checking account, he pointed out, youre likely already paying a negative interest rate in real terms, even if you dont know it.)
American officials also expressed skepticism. Negative interest rates werent an idea they considered very seriously,
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said in September 2015. (Some experts, meanwhile, questioned whether negative rates
could potentially expose the Fed to legal risk, though the courts have generally given the Fed wide latitude in administering
monetary policy.)
Just last week, however, Yellen walked back previous statements that going below zero wasnt much of a possibility. Yellen
said that a chance of a recession in 2016 meant that the Fed would be considering every option for boosting the economy,
including negative interest rates.
I wouldnt take those off the table, she said.
Central Banks Are Trojan Horses, Looting Their Host Nations

February 17 2016 | From: GlobalResearch
A Nobel prize winning economist, former chief economist and senior vice president of the World
Bank, and chairman of the Presidents council of economic advisers (Joseph Stiglitz) says that the
International Monetary Fund and World Bank loan money to third world countries as a way to force
them to open up their markets and resources for looting by the West.
Do central banks do something similar?
Related: Capitalism Has Become Socially Dysfunctional - How We Have Fallen Victim To "Economic Hit Men"
Economics professor Richard Werner who created the concept of quantitative easing has documented that central
banks intentionally impoverish their host countries to justify economic and legal changes which allow looting by foreign
interests.
He focuses mainly on the Bank of Japan, which induced a huge bubble and then deflated it crushing Japans economy in
the process as a way to promote and justify structural reforms.
The Bank of Japan has used a heavy hand on Japanese economy for many decades, but Japan is stuck in a horrible slump.
But Werner says the same thing about the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB has used loans and liquidity as a
weapon to loot European nations.
Indeed, Greece (more), Italy, Ireland (and here) and other European countries have all lost their national sovereignty to
the ECB and the other members of the Troika.
ECB head Mario Draghi said in 2012:
"The EU should have the power to police and interfere in member states national budgets.
...
I am certain, if we want to restore confidence in the eurozone, countries will have to transfer part of their
sovereignty to the European level.
...
Several governments have not yet understood that they lost their national sovereignty long ago. Because they
ran up huge debts in the past, they are now dependent on the goodwill of the financial markets."
And yet Europe has been stuck in a depression worse than the Great Depression, largely due to the ECBs actions.
What about Americas central bank the Federal Reserve? Initially contrary to what many Americans believe the
Federal Reserve had admitted that it is not really federal (more).
But even if its not part of the government hasnt the Fed acted in Americas interest? Lets have a look
The Fed:
Bailed out foreign banks more than Main Street or the American people. The foreign banks bailed out by the Fed
include Gaddafis Libyan bank, the Arab Banking Corp. of Bahrain, and the Banks of Bavaria and Korea
Offered to bail out Mexico, if it would agree to join the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Threw money at several billionaires and tens of multi-millionaires, including billionaire businessman H. Wayne Huizenga,
billionaire Michael Dell of Dell computer, billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, billionaire private equity honcho J.
Christopher Flowers, and the wife of Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack
Bailed out wealthy corporations, including hedge funds, McDonalds and Harley-Davidson
Artificially front-loaded an enormous [stock] market rally. Professor G. William Domhoff demonstrated that the richest
10% own 81% of all stocks and mutual funds (the top 1% own 35%). The great majority of Americans the bottom 90%
own less than 20% of all stocks and mutual funds. So the Feds effort overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Americans
and wealthy foreigninvestors
Is largely responsible for creating the worst inequality in world history
Turned its cheek and allowed massive fraud (which is destroying the economy). Fed chair Greenspan took the position
that fraud could never happen. Fed chair Bernanke also falsely stated that the big banks receiving Tarp money were
healthy when they were not
Acted as cheerleader in chief for unregulated use of derivatives at least as far back as 1999 (see thisand this), and is
now backstopping derivatives loss
And for subprime loans
Allowed the giant banks to grow into mega-banks, even though most independent economists and financial
experts say that the economy will not recover until the giant banks are broken up. For example, Citigroups former chief
executive says that when Citigroup was formed in 1998 out of the merger of banking and insurance giants,
Greenspan told him, I have nothing against size. It doesnt bother me at all
Argued that economists had conquered the business cycle, and that modern, technologically advanced financial markets
are best left to police themselves
Preached that a new bubble be blown every time the last one bursts
Had a hand in Watergate and arming Saddam Hussein, according to an economist with the U.S. House of Representatives
Financial Services Committee for eleven years, assisting with oversight of the Federal Reserve, and subsequently Professor
of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. See this and this
Intentionally discouraged banks from lending to Main Street, which has increased unemployment and stalled out the
economy
Moreover, the Feds main program for dealing with the financial crisis quantitative easing benefits the rich and hurts the
little guy, as confirmed by former high-level Fed officials, the architect of Japans quantitative easing program and
several academic economists. Indeed, a high-level Federal Reserve official says quantitative easing is the greatest
backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time. And see this.
Some economists called the bank bailouts which the Fed helped engineer the greatest redistribution of wealth in history.
Tim Geithner as head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was complicit in Lehmans accounting fraud, (and
see this), and pushed to pay AIGs CDS counterparties at full value, and then to keep the deal secret. And as Robert
Reich notes,
Geithner was very much in the center of the action regarding the secret bail out of Bear Stearns without Congressional
approval. William Black points out:
"Mr. Geithner as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since October 2003, was one of those senior
regulators who failed to take any effective regulatory action to prevent the crisis, but instead covered up its depth
Timothy Getiner
Indeed, the non-partisan Government Accountability Office calls the Fed corrupt and riddled with conflicts of interest.
Nobel prize-winning economist Joe Stiglitz says the World Bank would view any country which had a banking structure like
the Fed as being corrupt and untrustworthy. The former vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas said said he
worried that the failure of the government to provide more information about its rescue spending could signal corruption.
"Nontransparency in government programs is always associated with corruption in other countries, so I dont see
why it wouldnt be here, he said.
But arent the Fed and other central banks crucial to stabilize the economy?
Not necessarily the Fed caused the Great Depression and the current economic crisis, and many economists including
several Nobel prize winning economists say that we should end the Fed in its current form.
They also say that the Fed does not help stabilize the economy. For example:
"Thomas Sargent, the New York University professor who was announced Monday as a winner of the Nobel in
economics cites Walter Bagehot, who said that what he called a natural competitive banking system
without a central bank would be better. nothing can be more surely established by a larger experience
than that a Government which interferes with any trade injures that trade. The best thing undeniably that a
Government can do with the Money Market is to let it take care of itself.
Earlier U.S. central banks caused mischief, as well. For example, Austrian economist Murray Rothbard wrote:
"The panics of 1837 and 1839 were the consequence of a massive inflationary boom fueled by the Whig-run
Second Bank of the United States.
Indeed, the Revolutionary War was largely due to the actions of the worlds first central bank, the Bank of England.
Specifically, when Benjamin Franklin went to London in 1764, this is what he observed:
When he arrived, he was surprised to find rampant unemployment and poverty among the British working
classes Franklin was then asked how the American colonies managed to collect enough money to support their
poor houses. He reportedly replied:
We have no poor houses in the Colonies; and if we had some, there would be nobody to put in them, since there
is, in the Colonies, not a single unemployed person, neither beggars nor tramps.
In 1764, the Bank of England used its influence on Parliament to get a Currency Act passed that made it illegal for
any of the colonies to print their own money. The colonists were forced to pay all future taxes to Britain in silver or
gold. Anyone lacking in those precious metals had to borrow them at interest from the banks.
Only a year later, Franklin said, the streets of the colonies were filled with unemployed beggars, just as they were
in England. The money supply had suddenly been reduced by half, leaving insufficient funds to pay for the goods
and services these workers could have provided.
He maintained that it was the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament which
has caused in the colonies hatred of the English and . . . the Revolutionary War. This, he said, was the real
reason for the Revolution: the colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not
been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction.
(For more on the Currency Act, see this.)
And things are getting worse rather than better. As Professor Werner tells Washingtons Blog:
"Central banks have legally become more and more powerful in the past 30 years across the globe, yet they have
become de facto less and less accountable. In fact, as I warned in my book New Paradigm in Macroeconomics in
2005, after each of the recurring banking crises, central banks are usually handed even more powers.
This also happened after the 2008 crisis. [Background here and here.] So it is clear we have a regulatory moral
hazard problem: central banks seem to benefit from crises. No wonder the rise of central banks to ever larger legal
powers has been accompanied not by fewer and smaller business cycles and crises, but more crises and of larger
amplitude."
Georgetown University historian Professor Carroll Quigley argued that the aim of the powers-that-be is:
"Nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the
political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.
This system is to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert
by secret agreements, central banks that were themselves private corporations.
Given the facts set forth above, this may be yet another conspiracy theory confirmed as conspiracy fact.
Conspiracy: This Is Why Brazil Is Ground Zero For The Latest Bio-Engineered
Pandemic
February 11 2016 | From: TheMilleniumReport
Every Major Disease Outbreak Has Been Manufactured in the Biological Weapons Laboratories of
the Western Powers.
The U.S. and U.K. possess the most advanced scientific knowledge and applied technology for producing bio-
weaponry, which they routinely utilize to create bio-weapons of mass destruction.
Related: Zika: Sex and Bloodsucking Vampire Bugs: the Movie
Decades ago the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) of the United States of America (in collaboration with their British
counterparts) committed itself to the deliberate path of exerting full-spectrum dominance over the entire planetary realm.
The essentially Anglo-American Military-Industrial Complex undertook various and sundry endeavors simultaneously in
order to fulfill this critical mission to attain and maintain world domination.
Related: SERCO: A Corporate Octopus With Tentacles Wrapped Around The Globe
Not only did the MIC achieve nuclear superiority within the world community of nations, the U.S. Armed Services also
created a global network of military bases unrivaled in world history.
One of the key pillars of attaining full spectrum dominance is the capacity to execute bio-weaponry programs surreptitiously,
quickly and efficiently anywhere on Planet Earth.
Toward that end the many bio-weapons laboratories which now dot the landscape of the USA have worked assiduously to
fabricate the perfect biological weapons for the right applications and perfect situations.
Its important to understand that the USA and UK form the very backbone of a supranational entity known as the Anglo-
American Axis[1]. This large group of countries, which is dedicated to maintaining the Anglo-American Empire - by every
means possible - has been locked in a century-long war against the BRICS nations.
As a matter of fact, the First and Second World Wars were both waged in an effort to establish the USA as the military arm
of the New World Order.
NATO is merely an extension of the Anglo-American military juggernaut.
Related: The USA: Military Arm Of The New World Order
Whats the Larger Point Here?
Although it has not been declared, a full-blown World War III has been and is being waged under the radar between the
AAA and the BRICS.
The entire Middle East is obviously just one major military theater of this ongoing global conflict. So are Africa and South
America. Only on those two continents the preferred weapons of mass destruction are of a biological nature.
History of Genocide via Bio-Weapons
You see, the white man learned long ago that the people of the African continent are deathly afraid of contagious diseases
and infectious epidemics. The populations of many of the South American countries suffer from the very same phobia.
They dont understand illness and disease the way that the educated and industrialized nations of the Northern Hemisphere
do. There is much superstition which still surrounds any kind of disease outbreak, especially throughout the rural areas. The
resulting taboos run very deep throughout society.
With this hidden knowledge it is now quite easy to understand why so many disease outbreaks first occur in either Africa or
South America. Whether it is Ebola in West Africa or the West Nile Virus in East Africa, HIV/AIDS in West Central Africa or
Malaria anywhere in Africa, Chagas disease in South America or Dengue fever throughout the whole Southern Hemisphere,
so many pandemics find their origins south of the border.
No one denies that the southern climes and predominant biota cultivate an extremely conducive environment for mosquito-
borne diseases and the like. This scientific fact is quite well established.
The point here is that because these scary diseases are well known among the local populations, they can be furtively
spread by those who wish to do them harm by their silent enemies to the north.
The deliberate vector of disseminations are many to include stealth vaccinations, GMO mosquitoes, tainted prescriptions,
contaminated water supplies, infected farm animals, toxic produce, corrupted restaurant food, chemtrail aerosols, etc.
This is a subtle but very important point. These diseases are known to be common in these regions of the world; therefore,
no one suspects that they have been meticulously weaponized to make them much more deadly.
They have also been precisely bio-engineered to target specific gene pools and bloodlines.
In this fashion the Indigenous Peoples can be gradually killed off so that they no longer pose an obstacle to giving
up their lands to the covetous Anglo-American corporate interests.
This very same tactic was of course used against the Native American Indians by the U.S. Federal Government that was
determined to wipe out the tribes across America in order to steal their lands. That strategy really worked like a charm for
them. And they have never forgotten it.
After all, how could the Indian warriors, who contracted smallpox from the blankets provided to them by the friendly white
brothers, ever fight on the harsh battlefields?
As for the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, how are they expected to respond to a terrible disease that shrinks the human head
and arrests brain development. Yes, that is what the Zika virus does, unless the public is being misled about the true source
of this medical crisis.
Fast Forward to the 2016 Olympics in Brazil
Whenever bio-weapons of mass destruction are used with such great effect there are always several goals on the agenda of
the perpetrators. The Zika virus outbreak is no exception.
Because of where the exact ground zero of this explosive epidemic is located in Brazil, it is certain that this public health
disaster was quite purposefully manufactured there to disrupt the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Brazil has already been under continuous assault by the AAA, as it represents the South American cornerstone of the
BRICS economic union. The Brazilian economy is also the largest in South and Central America, therefore, it provides a
much-needed financial engine to keep the BRICS momentum going throughout the world.
The AAA knew that if they took down Brazil economically, as they have been doing relentlessly on the political front, the
BRICS union would be weakened considerably. The new world reserve currency would then likely stay with the still
dominant petrodollar during this crucial period where it is also under serious assault.
Both Russia and China have already undermined the petrodollar in profound and irreparable ways. So have Iran and India
and other quieter BRICS-aligned nations
The important point about Brazil is that a substantial amount of public money and resources have been allocated to this
formidable and demanding enterprise known as the Summer Olympics. The private sector, as always, has also dedicated
much investment to making the Olympics a commercial success.
With the Zika virus and ensuing epidemic raging in the back yard of Rio de Janeiro, what else could be expected but the
second prong of the AAA strategy to sabotage the 2016 Summer Olympiad.
See headlines below:

Conclusion
The Anglo-American corporatocracy has enjoyed the status of global hegemon since the advent of the Industrial
Revolution. Because of the rapacious nature of the predatory capitalism that it systematically employs, it only knows how to
take from those who have what they want. This is the way it has always been since the incorporation of the East India
Company in London in 1600.
The Huge difference between now and when India was pillaged, China was plundered and Africa was raped is that the
BRICS are now well aware of the true enemy and its unrelenting tactics.
Russia and China, India and Brazil, Iran and South Africa are under constant attack by the AAA. However, they now have a
very secret weapon that is being trained on the City of London and Washington, D.C.
More accurately, the BRICS have a number of secret weapons which will be employed with great consequence and
awesome effect on the primary nations of the AAA. Part II of this series will further discuss those secret weapons. In the
meantime, the reader is encouraged to contemplate the overwhelming repercussions of just one of those weapons known
as: Free Enegy
Editors Note
It has been rightly pointed out by many that the looming Zika virus pandemic may be to a great extent based on fraudulent
data and false information. Inasmuch as it is being reported by those agencies like WHO which are completely controlled by
the AAA, why should the MSM ever be believed?
Because of all the fake false flags and fictitious disease outbreaks occurring over many decades such as the recent Ebola
scare, its clear that these trumpeted pandemics have a huge component of purposefully deceptive reporting.
However, it is virtually impossible to ferret out the truth about a manufactured and bogus pandemic. To what degree is there
a real mosquito-borne Zika virus causing the profiled symptoms is extremely difficult to say. Especially given the typical
demographics of these types of mosquito-borne public health disasters, its even more challenging to arrive at the
truth. After all, they ALL occur in virtually the same geographic areas.
With that said, we leave it up to the reader to decide how much of this fastidiously ZIKA health scare is real disease and
how much is phony baloney.
Authors Note
We almost forgot to mention what the original source of the Zika virus was, as well as who originally deposited it in 1947
- the Rockefeller Foundation.

to the AAA but some of these may be changing. The World Shadow Government is an ultra-secret, supranational
organization which completely controls the Anglo-American Axis, as well as the European Union, NATO, among many other
institutional entities which constitute the Global Control Matrix.

Some Of The Biggest Lies Of Science
February 11 2016 | From: ActivistTeacher
The maintenance of the hierarchical structures that control our lives depends on Pinters vast
tapestry of lies upon which we feed.
The maintenance of the hierarchical structures that control our lives depends on Pinters vast tapestry of lies
upon which we feed. Therefore the main institutions that embed us into the hierarchy, such as schools,
universities, and mass media and entertainment corporations, have a primary function to create and maintain this
tapestry. This includes establishment scientists and all service intellectuals in charge of interpreting reality.
In fact, the scientists and experts define reality in order to bring it into conformation with the always-adapting dominant
mental tapestry of the moment.
[T]he majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the
maintenance of that power.
To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even
the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.
Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture (Literature), 2005
They also invent and build new branches of the tapestry that serve specific power groups by providing new avenues of
exploitation. These high priests are rewarded with high class status.
The Money Lie
The economists are a most significant example. It is probably not an accident that in the United States at the end of the
nineteenth century the economists were the first professional analysts to be broken in, in a battle that defined the limits of
academic freedom in universities. The academic system would from that point on impose a strict operational separation
between inquiry and theorizing as acceptable and social reform as unacceptable.
Any academic wishing to preserve her position understood what this meant.
As a side product, academics became virtuosos at nurturing a self-image of importance despite this fatal limitation on their
societal relevance, with verbiage such as: The truth is our most powerful weapon, the pen is mightier than the sword, a good
idea can change the world, reason will take us out of darkness, etc.
So the enterprise of economics became devoted to masking the lie about money. Bad lending practice, price fixing and
monopolistic controls were the main threats to the natural justice of a free market, and occurred only as errors in a mostly
self-regulating system that could be moderated via adjustments of interest rates and other safeguards.
Meanwhile no mainstream economic theory makes any mention of the fact that money itself is created wholesale in a
fractional reserve banking system owned by secret private interests given a licence to fabricate and deliver debt that must
be paid back (with interest) from the real economy, thereby continuously concentrating ownership and power over all local
and regional economies.
The 'Federal Reserve' Bank of New York

The rest of us have to earn money rather than simply fabricate it and we never own more when we die. The middle class
either pays rent or a mortgage. Wage slavery is perpetuated and degraded in stable areas and installed in its most vicious
varieties in all newly conquered territories.
It is quite remarkable that the largest exploitation scam (private money creation as debt) ever enacted and applied to the
entire planet does not figure in economic theories.
Economists are so busy modeling the ups and downs of profits, returns, employment figures, stock values, and the benefits
of mergers for mid-level exploiters that they dont notice their avoidance of the foundational elements. They model the
construction schedule while refusing to acknowledge that the terrain is an earthquake zone with vultures circling overhead.
Meanwhile the financiers write and re-write the rules themselves and again this process does not figure in macroeconomic
theories. The only human element that economists consider in their predictive mathematical models is low-level consumer
behaviour, not high-level system manipulation.
Corruption is the norm yet it does not figure. The economies, cultures and infrastructures of nations are wilfully destroyed in
order to enslave via new and larger national debts for generations into the future while economists forecast alleged
catastrophic consequences of defaulting on these debts
Management tools for the bosses and smoke and mirrors for the rest of us thank you expert economists.
The Medicine is Health Lie
Weve all heard some MD (medical doctor) interviewed on the radio gratuitously make the bold proposal that life expectancy
has increased thanks to modern medicine. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Life expectancy has increased in First World countries thanks to a historical absence of civil and territorial wars, better and
more accessible food, less work and non-work accidents, and better overall living and working conditions. The single
strongest indicator of personal health within and between countries is economy status, irrespective of access to medical
technology and pharmaceuticals.
Its worse than that because medicine actually has a negative impact on health. Medical errors (not counting misattributed
deaths from correctly administered treatments) are the third leading cause of death in the US, after heart disease and
cancer, and there is a large gap between this conservative underestimate in the number of medical error deaths and the
fourth leading cause of death.
Since medicine can do little for heart disease and cancer and since medicine has only a small statistical positive impact in
the area of trauma interventions, we conclude that public health would increase if all MDs simply disappeared. And think of
all the time loss and stress that sick people would save
One of the most dangerous places in society is the hospital. Medical errors include misdiagnoses, bad prescriptions,
prescriptions of medications that should not be combined, unnecessary surgery, unnecessary or badly administered
treatments including chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and corrective surgeries.
The lie extends to the myth that MDs anywhere near understand the human body. And this well guarded lie encourages us
to put our faith in doctors, thereby opening the door to a well orchestrated profit bonanza for big pharma.
The first thing that Doctors Without Borders (MSF) volunteers need to do in order to contribute significantly in disaster zones
is to forget their medical training and get to work on the priority tasks at hand: water, food, shelter, and disease
propagation prevention; not vaccinating, or operating, or prescribing medication Public health comes from safety, stability,
social justice, and economic buying power, not MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) units and prescription drugs.
These bone heads routinely apply unproven recommended treatments and prescribe dangerous drugs for everything from
high blood pressure from a sedentary lifestyle and bad nutrition, to apathy at school, to anxiety in public places, to post-
adolescence erectile function, to non-conventional sleep patterns, and to all the side effects from the latter drugs.
In professional yet nonetheless remarkable reversals of logic, doctors prescribe drugs to remove symptoms that are risk
indicators rather than address the causes of the risks, thereby only adding to the assault on the body.
Its unbelievable the number that medicine has done on us: Just one more way to keep us stupid (ignorant about our own
bodies) and artificially dependent on the control hierarchy. Economically disadvantaged people dont die from not having
access to medical care They die from the life constraints and liabilities directly resulting from poverty. How many MDs
have stated this obvious truth on the radio?
Environmental Science Lies
Exploitation via resource extraction, land use expropriation, and wage slavery creation and maintenance are devastating to
indigenous populations and to the environment on continental scales. It is therefore vital to cover up the crimes under a veil
of expert analysis and policy development diversion. A valued class of service intellectuals here is composed of the
environmental scientists and consultants.
Environmental scientists naively and knowingly work hand in hand with finance-corporate shysters, mainstream media,
politicians, and state and international bureaucrats to mask real problems and to create profit opportunities for select power
elites. Here are notable examples of specific cases.
Freon and Ozone
Do you know of anyone who has been killed by the ozone hole?
The 1987 Montreal Protocol banning chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) is considered a textbook case where science and
responsible governance lead to a landmark treaty for the benefit of the Earth and all its inhabitants. How often does that
happen?
At about the time that the DuPont patent on Freon(TM), the most widely used CFC refrigerant in the world, was expiring the
mainstream media picked up on otherwise arcane scientific observations and hypotheses about ozone concentration in the
upper atmosphere near the poles.
There resulted an international mobilization to criminalize CFCs and DuPont developed and patented a replacement
refrigerant that was promptly certified for use.
A Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded in 1995 for a laboratory demonstration that CFCs could deplete ozone in simulated
atmospheric conditions. In 2007 it was shown that the latter work may have been seriously flawed by overestimating the
depletion rate by an order of magnitude, thereby invalidating the proposed mechanism for CFC-driven ozone depletion.
Not to mention that any laboratory experiment is somewhat different from the actual upper atmosphere... Is the Nobel
tainted by media and special interest lobbying?
It gets better. It turns out that the Dupont replacement refrigerant is, not surprisingly, not as inert as was Freon. As a result it
corrodes refrigerator cycle components at a much faster rate. Where home refrigerators and freezers lasted forever, they
now burn out in eight years or so.
This has caused catastrophic increases in major appliance contributions to land fill sites across North America; spurred on
by the green propaganda for obscenely efficient electrical consumptions of the new appliances under closed door (zero use)
conditions.
In addition, we have been frenzied into avoiding the sun, the UV index keeps our fear of cancer and our dependence on the
medical establishment alive, and a new sun block industry a la vampire protection league has been spawned.
And of course star university chemists are looking for that perfect sun block molecule that can be patented by big pharma.
And as soon as it is, I predict a surge in media interviews with skin cancer experts
Acid Rain on the Boreal Forest
In the seventies it was acid rain. Thousands of scientists from around the world (Northern Hemisphere) studied this most
pressing environmental problem on the planet. The boreal forest is the largest ecosystem on Earth and its millions of lakes
were reportedly being killed by acid from the sky.
Coal burning plants spewed out sulphides into the atmosphere causing the rain to be acidic. The acid rain was postulated to
acidify the soils and lakes in the boreal forest but the acidification was virtually impossible to detect. Pristine lakes in the
hearts of national parks had to be studied for decades in attempts to detect a statistically significant acidification.
Meanwhile the lakes and their watersheds were being destroyed by the cottage industry, agriculture, forestry, mining, over
fishing and tourism. None of the local and regional destruction was studied or exposed. Instead, scientists turned their gaze
to distant coal burning plants, atmospheric distribution, and postulated chemical reactions occurring in rain droplets.
One study found that the spawning in aquarium of one fish species was extremely sensitive to acidity (pH). Long treatises
about cation charge balance and transport were written and attention was diverted away from the destruction on the ground
towards a sanitized problem of atmospheric chemistry that was the result of industrialization and progress rather than being
caused by identifiable exploiters.
As a physicist and Earth scientist turned environmental scientist, I personally read virtually every single scientific paper
written about acid rain and could not find an example of a demonstrated negative impact on lakes or forests from acid rain.
In my opinion, contrary to the repeated claims of the scientist authors, the research on acid rain demonstrates that acid rain
could not possibly have been the problem.
This model of elite-forces-coordinated exploiter whitewashing was to play itself out on an even grander scale only decades
later with global warming.
Global Warming as a Threat to Humankind
n 2005 and 2006, several years before the November 2009 Climategate scandal burst the media bubble that buoyed public
opinion towards acceptance of carbon credits, cap and trade, and the associated trillion dollar finance bonanza that may still
come to pass, I exposed the global warming cooptation scam in an essay that Alexander Cockburn writing in The
Nation called "one of the best essays on greenhouse myth-making from a left perspective".
My essay prompted David F. Noble to research the question and write The Corporate Climate Coup to expose how the
media embrace followed the finance sectors realization of the unprecedented potential for revenues that going green could
represent.
Introductory paragraphs from Global Warming: Truth or Dare? are as follows:
I also advance that there are strong societal, institutional, and psychological motivations for having constructed
and for continuing to maintain the myth of a global warming dominant threat (global warming myth, for short). I
describe these motivations in terms of the workings of the scientific profession and of the global corporate and
finance network and its government shadows.
I argue that by far the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and profit-driven
corporations and their cartels backed by military might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that
contributes to hiding this truth. In my opinion, activists who, using any justification, feed the global warming myth
have effectively been co-opted, or at best neutralized.
Other passages read this way:
Environmental scientists and government agencies get funding to study and monitor problems that do not threaten
corporate and financial interests. It is therefore no surprise that they would attack continental-scale devastation
from resource extraction via the CO2 back door. The main drawback with this strategy is that you cannot control a
hungry monster by asking it not to shit as much.
Global warming is strictly an imaginary problem of the First World middleclass. Nobody else cares about global
warming. Exploited factory workers in the Third World dont care about global warming. Depleted uranium
genetically mutilated children in Iraq dont care about global warming. Devastated aboriginal populations the world
over also cant relate to global warming, except maybe as representing the only solidarity that we might volunteer.
Its not about limited resources. [The amount of money spent on pet food in the US and Europe each year equals
the additional amount needed to provide basic food and health care for all the people in poor countries, with a
sizeable amount left over.
(UN Human Development Report, 1999)] Its about exploitation, oppression, racism, power, and greed. Economic,
human, and animal justice brings economic sustainability which in turn is always based on renewable practices.
Recognizing the basic rights of native people automatically moderates resource extraction and preserves natural
habitats. Not permitting imperialist wars and interventions automatically quenches nation-scale exploitation. True
democratic control over monetary policy goes a long way in removing debt-based extortion. Etc.
And there is a thorough critique of the science as band wagon trumpeting and interested self-deception. Climategate only
confirms what should be obvious to any practicing scientist: That science is a mafia when its not simply a sleeping pill.
[Recent development (March 2011): Incisive deconstruction of the dominant climate science narrative - here.]
Conclusion
It just goes on and on. What is not a lie?
Look at the recent H1N1 scam another textbook example. Its farcical how far these circuses go:
Antiseptic gels in every doorway at the blink of an eye; high school students getting high from drinking the alcohol in the
gels; out datedness of the viral strain before the pre-paid vaccine can be mass produced; unproven effectiveness; no
requirement to prove effectiveness; government guarantees to corporate manufacturers against client lawsuits; university
safety officers teaching students how to cough; etc.
Pure madness. Has something triggered our genetically ingrained First World stupidity reflex? Is this part of our march
towards fascism?
Here is another one. Educators promote the lie that we learn because we are taught. This lie of education is squarely
denounced by radical educators.
University professors design curricula as though the students actually learn every element that is delivered whereas the
truth is that students dont learn the delivered material and everyone only learns what they learn. One could dramatically
change the order in which courses are delivered and it would make no measurable difference in how much students learn.
Students deliver nonsense and professors dont care. Obedience and indoctrination are all that matter so the only required
skill is bluffing. Students know this and those that dont dont know what they know, dont know themselves.
Pick any expert opinion or dominant paradigm: Its part of a racket.
We cant know the truth because the truth is brutal.
Non-Dollar Trading: Emerging Economies Deal A Heavy Blow To Petrodollar

February 8 2016 | From: Sputnik
Experts have given the petrodollar a fatal diagnosis. Falling crude prices have accelerated the
petrodollar's demise, dealing a heavy blow to the system that has long facilitated the US dollar's
world reserve currency status.
Emerging economies are abandoning the US dollar as a means of payment for oil, having shifted to national
currencies.
Ditching the dollar, Iran and India have agreed to settle all outstanding crude oil dues in rupees in preparation
to future trade in their national currencies. The dollar dues - $6.5 billion equaling 55 per cent of oil payment - would
be deposited in National Iranian Oil Co account with Indian banks," The Indian Express reported on January 5,
2016.
Half a year earlier, Russia's state-owned oil company Gazprom Neft announced that it had started settling shipments
of crude to China in the renminbi (yuan). The strategy proved effective and Russia has become Beijing's top oil exporter,
outpacing Saudi Arabia.
Interestingly, part of Russia's success in China has been attributed to its willingness to accept Chinese yuan
denominated currency for its oil. (And not, as others have suggested, because of any sort of allegiance to the Sino-
Russo friendship.)," Elena Holodny of Business Insider noted in one of her latest articles.
Incredible as it may seem, experts recommend Saudi Arabia to follow Russia's example and switch from dollars to yuans:
If Saudi Arabia wants to recapture its number one ranking, it needs to accept the renminbi for oil payments
instead of just the dollar," Gordon Kwan, the Hong Kong-based head of regional oil and gas research at Nomura
Holdings Inc. told Bloomberg back in June 2015.
What does it mean for the petrodollar?
Two years ago, in hushed tones at first, then ever louder, the financial world began discussing that which shall
never be discussed in polite company - the end of the system that according to many has framed and facilitated
the US Dollar's reserve currency status: the Petrodollar," Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, a news site for global
finance, noted back in 2014.
It seems that the prognosis is about to come true.
In January 2016 Zero Hedge reported that the petrodollar's demise is obvious, bolstered by falling crude prices.
Citing Goldman Sachs, the global investment banking firm, the media outlet noted that "a new oil
price 'equilibrium' (i.e. a sustained downturn) could result in a net petrodollar drain of $24 billion per month on the
way to nearly $900 billion in total by 2018."
The end of the petrodollar recycling chain would affect the world's affairs tremendously, it added.
Simultaneously, China is pushing ahead with its Silk Road Fund and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)
China will push for the yuan to play a prominent role in the settlement of AIIB transactions and may look
to establish special reserves in both the AIIB and Silk Road fund to issue yuan-denominated loans," the media-
outlet emphasized, adding that in November 2015 SWIFT data indicated clearly that 15 new countries had joined a
list of nations settling more than ten percent of their trade deals with Beijing in the renminbi.
The oil price slump has contributed to the first net outflow of petrodollars from financial markets with the prospect
of a further drain. Meanwhile, experts observe the ascendancy of the renminbi."
Apparently, it is time to say goodbye to the petrodollar-based world order.
A Large Number Of Bank Accounts Have Been Seized With Regards To The 1MDB-
Goldman Sachs Laundering Scandal
February 5 2016 | From: Geopolitics
Slowly but surely, Khazarian stooges are being taken down everywhere.
Since three days ago, Goldman Sachs Asia Chairman, Tim Leissner, has taken a personal leave obviously to
escape from the recent money laundering and bribery scandals involving with no less than Malaysia Prime Minister
Najib Razak, involving Saudi royal money.
It turns out that the unexplainable disappearance of some portion of the $681 million of Saudi royal family donation to
Razak are scattered through various bank accounts throughout Asia.
Najib Razak
This is huge because now we can see a possible correlation of this scandal to the two Malaysian airliners disappearance in
the Indian Ocean and false flag shot down inside Ukrainian airspace.
Recently, Bloomberg reported;
Singapore has seized a large number of bank accounts in connection with possible money-laundering in the
country, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Commercial Affairs Department said in a joint e-mailed
statement in response to queries on 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
In connection with these investigations, we have sought and are continuing to seek information from several
financial institutions, are interviewing various individuals, and have seized a large number of bank accounts, the
agencies said on Monday. They added Singapore has been actively investigating possible money-laundering and
other offenses since mid-2015."
1MDB, the debt-ridden government investment fund of neighboring Malaysia whose advisory board is headed by Prime
Minister Najib Razak, has been the subject of overlapping investigations at home plus countries such as Switzerland and
Hong Kong amid allegations of financial irregularities.
Swiss prosecutors said in a Jan. 29 statement they are seeking legal assistance from the Southeast Asian nation after a
probe they conducted into 1MDB revealed serious indications that about $4 billion may have been misappropriated. Najib
is not one of the public officials under accusation in that investigation, Andre Marty, a spokesman for the Swiss attorney
generals office, said Monday in a statement.
Illicit Funds
Singapore is cooperating with relevant authorities including those in Malaysia, Switzerland and the U.S., the agencies said
in their statement.
We have responded to all foreign requests for information and have requested for information from relevant
counterparts to aid in our investigations, according to the statement. Singapore does not tolerate the use of its
financial system as a refuge or conduit for illicit funds.
- Bloomberg
RT recounted,
A number of investigations into 1MDBs activities are being carried out in various countries, prompted by claims of
corruption involving Razak, who chairs 1MDB."
Switzerlands chief prosecutor, Attorney General Michael Lauber, said in a statement on Friday that he has asked for
Malaysias help in investigating possible violations of Swiss law by 1MDB, Reuters reported.
Michael Lauber
The suspected misappropriations reportedly amount to $4 billion and concern bribery of foreign officials, misconduct in
public office, money laundering and criminal mismanagement.
It was discovered this week that Leissner has moved from Singapore to his Los Angeles home, calling it a personal
leave, Bloomberg reports.
Goldman orchestrated the $6.5 billion sale of three 1MDB bonds in 2012 and 2013, from which the bank earned
$593 million in fees and expenses. The deal has raised questions, as such fees in Malaysia are usually much
lower.
It has since emerged that Razak received a $681 million donation to his personal bank account, which his opponents say
is linked to the deal.
The results of an investigation into the matter by Malaysian Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali, who was appointed by
Razak in 2015, were published this week, but found no wrongdoing.
The probe found that the money had come from a Saudi Arabian royal family and that $620 million was returned within the
following five months. There was no indication in the report as to what happened to the unaccounted for $61 million.
State agencies in Hong Kong and the United States are also investigating other deals involving 1MDB.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak doesnt have a respectable track record in governance and has been a perennial
recipient of popular protests.
Fed up with years of alleged corruption, Malaysian activists escalated their protests, demanding the resignation of
Prime Minister Najib Razak and the overhaul of a political system its critics argue is racist and favors the few who
are political connected.
Police estimated that 25,000 people took to the streets of Kuala Lumpur for the weekend Bersih 4.0 rally, which
unlike previous demonstrations passed off peacefully. Organizers said the numbers were much higher, at around
200,000.

- TheDiplomat
Malaysias embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak has entered negotiations for a face-saving exit from the
turbulence of his nations politics, according to independent reports, after the anti-corruption commission referred
37 charges to the attorney-general for prosecution.
Sources told the London-based Sarawak Report and the Hong Kong-based Asia Sentinel that Najib entered talks
to ensure his departure from a tenure blighted by allegations of massive corruption and three murders, including
Kevin Morais, a lead investigator with the commission.
That prospect has fed social media commentators and prompted a rear-guard offensive by Malaysias mainstream
newspapers, who are trying to convince a troubled wider world that the country remains an island of Muslim
moderation amid a sea of Islamic militancy and terrorism. While this may somehow be seen as mitigating Najibs
legacy, the costs seem absurdly high given the allegations enveloping him.
Horrific photos of Morais were published earlier this week by Malaysia Chronicle. He had led investigations into
the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal before his remains were found in a cement filled oil drum,
submerged in a swamp.
This is not the first time Najib and those around him have been linked to murder.
- TheDiplomat
Is the more than half a billion dollar Saudi donation a payoff for the deafening Malaysian governments silence of the two
airliners disappearance?
How about the recent Islamic State terror attack against Indonesia? Was it financed by Saudi royal money, too?
Will Tim Leissner be made to answer his complicity to the conspiracy?
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: She'll Be Right Rings True

Fitting New Zealand should be the location for the signing of the TPPA, because the country could
be help up to be the crowning glory of the Friedman "Chicago School" economic doctrines - the
first where the more brutal methods of shock and awe have had to be used to cow and enslave the
population.
Instead we have gone willingly to our subservience, embracing the corporations as they strip our natural and
sovereign rights, beseeching them to drip a few pennies into our outstretched hands while they pillage the bulk of
our nation's intrinsic wealth.

And in return all we have had to do is meekly accept the sale of our primary assets, and extra hundred billion dollars debt (to
date), and the fact that the sub-class - the unemployable, the sick, the disabled, the tragically bankrupt - are beyond
redemption, but thankfully, a relatively small percentage of the population.
Not for us the "test case" genocidal generals of Chile or Argentina, the repressions of Thatcher's Britain, the civil wars of
Russia or the "reconstruction" of Iraq. No, here we are all-but unscathed in the scale of things, a blissful wanton land where
Milton Friedman's neo-liberal economics can finally boast some apparent success.
We're even English-speaking and notionally developed and democratic!
Why, it's so good that billionaires by the dozen are snapping up private spots to build "getaway retreats" - places they can
hole up when the proverbial hits the big fans in their own countries, which (ironically thanks to the same policies) it is doing
with increasing regularity.
Whereas here, we may be dipped in it but we come up smiling. That's the Kiwi way: she'll be right.
If yesterday our troubles seemed so far away, today they are on our doorstep and here to stay - or even right in our homes,
should we happen to be in any way protesting the fact.
Which, next Thursday, I expect a sizeable horde of citizens to do outside Sky City while the pens stroke and the
teeth glisten within as the bought and paid for politicians of a dozen nations place their countries irrevocably in
corporate hands.
In almost any other place it would be a day of civil uprising, of armed mayhem and blood on the streets - and clearly that's
what is expected of us, since everyone from John Key down has been talking up the threat of violence.
However, I suspect all that riot training the police have undertaken will not be needed. At least, not unless some "plants" in
the crowd start throwing things.
But why trigger the violent phase (complete with its internment camps and CIA torture manuals) of these "economic reforms"
when we are, to all intents and purposes , already willing to have our jewels cut off?
Adding a few more names on the "to be harassed and raided and maybe disappeared" list is small beer in comparison, one
of the most right-thinking New Zealanders you will accept with a sigh of relief.
Yes, anger with restraint, and a quiet celebration with both sides after, is likely more they way of it.
We are a passionless people.
The shock doctrine which author Naomi Klein has so graphically exposed as the method of choice for disempowering the
world's masses while creating a super-elite is something that happens "over there". Even when it's happening right right
here, and we're having our noses rubbed in it.
So don't expect war. That won't happen for a generation or so, after we've run out of everything else the oligarchs can take
money from. [Comment: All is not lost but do whatever you can to voice opposition to this treasonous "trade deal].

The Ongoing Historic Fall Of The Khazarian Empire

January 30 2016 | From: Geopolitics
The Khazarian Empires defeat in the Middle East coupled with migration and financial crises back
home have all contributed to the massive failure of its hegemonic ambitions.
This massive defeat is also made possible when the myth about its military superiority was unmasked when both
Russia and China displayed portions of their covert military arms development during its 70th Victory Parade, and
the highly publicized space age technologies.
Not to mention, the successful flybys of two Sukhoi warplanes a few meters away from USS Donald Cooked whereby the
latters Aegis advanced electronics were rendered totally useless to the point of its crew tendering their resignations once
ashore. Most Russian war equipments are now equipped with advanced electronic jammers.
For the first time in the history of modern commerce, no ship transporting physical goods from the East to the West is at
sea. What were seeing instead is the continuing crash of the derivatives market which is the lifeline of the fiat currency
which some Western analysts are considering to be another deliberate action pursuant to the original NWO agenda.
It is our understanding that the ongoing march towards the Khazarian version of the New World Order against Western
population is to mitigate the resulting fallout from the BRICS Initiative of instituting a separate economic system that is asset-
backed.

In short, while the Western Oligarchy is putting out every measure, i.e. cash ban, mass surveillance, highly militarized police
force, to counter a growing dissent resulting from the worsening economy attributed to the covert recovery of the Collateral
Accounts lent to them 80 years ago, the East is laying the groundwork for a post-Khazarian massive economic development
dubbed as the One Belt, One Road.

This turning point in our history should teach everyone a lesson how not to run a planet, and why we should not allow
anyone to systematically take our freedoms away.
At this very moment, people all over the globe can have a rare chance of creating a totally different world free of wars,
poverty, disease, and planetary destruction.
The Fall of Europe: EU Infighting, Refugee Crisis Signal Historic Collapse

"The migration crisis reflects the weakness of the EUs architecture, which is leading to the rapid disintegration of
the supranational unions member states, according to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Europe is swiftly falling to pieces as EU countries remain at odds over many pressing issues, including those
related to the ongoing migration crisis, political analyst Berthold Kohler Migration wrote in an article for the German
newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
According to the author, the migration gridlock and a raft of other problems inside the EU may finally result in the
biggest disintegration of Europe in history.
The struggle to preserve the currency union forced Europeans to realize how strongly political ideas differ in EU
countries, where a variety of mentalities, experience and cultures is still in place, Kohler said.
He added that even the location of countries and their size can cause discrepancies in terms of national interest, while
disparities in standards of living between rich and poor EU members have led some to envy others.
The fall of Europe will be followed by the Federal Reserves collapse. Heres why:

The Vatican has also apologized for its past mistakes excluding only the planned population reduction and Satanic
practices.
Pope Francis apologised on Wednesday for scandals within the church at a general audience in St. Peters Square.
I would like to ask for forgiveness in the name of the church for the scandals that have happened in this last
period both in Rome and at the Vatican, the Pope said, the New York Times reports. I ask for your forgiveness.
While it remains unclear what the Pope was referring to - Pope Francis did not clarify what scandals he was apologizing for -
the Times cites reports in Italian media that a priest in Rome had sexual relations with men with the knowledge of his
bosses. In another recent incident, an Italian priest said in an interview that many child-sexual-abuse victims were at fault for
their abuse because they sought affection that priests could not always resist.
Native Americans also scored big, although not that big compared to the damage done to them by the colonialists, when the
US government was told to pay $554 million:

The Obama administration will pay the Navajo Nation a record $554 million to settle claims by the most populous Native
American tribe that funds and natural resources on its reservation were mismanaged by the US government for decades.
The agreement will be formally signed on Friday at Window Rock, Arizona, the capital of the Navajo reservation, the largest
in the US by land mass.
The accord was borne from litigation that accused the government of mishandling Navajo funds and natural resources on its
more than 14 million acres across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, all held in trust for the tribe and leased out for purposes
of farming, energy development, logging, and mining. The Navajo claims date back as far as 50 years.
In return for $554 million, the Navajo have agreed to drop its lawsuit and forego any future litigation over past US
management of Navajo funds or resources held by the federal government, Reuters reported.
The deal does not, though, negate future trust claims or any other claims over water and uranium pollution on the
reservation, Navajo Attorney General Harrison Tsosie said. Based on non-disclosure clauses, he could not say how much
the Navajo had claimed it was owed ahead of the settlement.
Surprisingly, the once Cabalist online magazine on finance prefers to take the matter lightly.
How to Get Over Losing an Empire | Financial Times
There are some post-imperial techniques to make you feel great. The best is winning a small war.
For Brits of a certain age, Donald Trumps campaign slogan, Make America great again, rings a bell. In the 1987 British
elections, Margaret Thatchers campaign slogan was Britain is great again. Dont let Labour wreck it.
Of course, Im not accusing Trump of plagiarism. Americas next president is a winner, a magnanimous figure who has even
won the praise of Vladimir Putin. However, his echo of Thatcher is not coincidental. Like Britain before it, the US is now
losing its empire.
This is a painful problem thats hard to talk about. Often its accompanied by feelings of shame. The fading empires leaders
always pretend that the loss isnt happening. Proud imperialists, such as todays Republican candidates, insist the loss could
be easily reversed if only certain leaders werent pygmies and traitors. The anger just worsens the pain.
However, it is possible to be post-imperial and happy. The British are, at least on our good days. Here are some tips for
coping with loss of empire.
The first step is to be straight with yourself. Look in the mirror and say: I am losing my empire, but it neednt be traumatic.
Accept the loss as inevitable. True, the US still has the worlds strongest military but thats like Kodak being the worlds
leading maker of camera film: its an obsolete skill.
Only once since the second world war has the US secured its national interests through war: the defeat of Saddam Hussein
in 1991.
If Americans want to keep a large military as a jobs project, or a Keynesian stimulus programme that dare not speak its
name, thats fine. But having lived through the past 14 years, they must know that a military isnt much use at fighting a
global terrorist franchise. Nor can it stop Russia from invading former Soviet republics, unless Americans are willing to fight
world war three.
When you lose your empire, its perfectly normal to worry that you will become poorer.
"The prosperity of our people, argued the British conservative politician Julian Amery in 1962, rests really on the
oil in the Persian Gulf, the rubber and tin of Malaya, and the gold, copper and precious metals of south and central
Africa. If those went, he warned, we would lose the lot.
This kind of argument (now echoed in Trumps scheme to grab Iraqi oil) makes psychological sense. After all, its an
empirical fact that economic wealth and imperial acquisition go together. However, Americans neednt worry: its the wealth
that prompts the acquisition, not the other way round.
Having an empire doesnt necessarily make you rich. Indeed, when Britain and France shed their empires, their economies
boomed. Buying other countries stuff is easier than grabbing it through conquest.
But the damage done by loss of empire is, above all, psychological. The post-imperial country is left feeling futile and
pointless. I recently met an old British army officer at his gentlemans club in London. Sitting beneath portraits of Victorian
generals who had conquered places like Sudan, he scoffed that todays Britons were softies who preferred creature
comforts to greatness. He missed the empire like a lost limb.
Luckily, there are some simple post-imperial techniques to make you feel great again. The best is probably winning a small
war. Thatcher did it in the Falklands (hence her 1987 slogan) but the textbook example was the American invasion of tiny
Grenada (population 90,000) under President Ronald Reagan in 1983.
This was an un-losable war. Reagans biographer Garry Wills noted:
"Two-thirds of American casualties were inflicted by other Americans or by accident.

Coming two days after a terrorist truck bomb killed 241 US service personnel in Beirut, the invasion helped to cheer up
Americans.
Having restored military pride, Reagan then quietly withdrew US troops from Lebanon. The sequence was a masterclass in
post-imperialism. No wonder British politicians now reach hopefully for their sabres whenever a Spanish politician mentions
our pocket-sized imperial remnant, Gibraltar.
There are other routes to post-imperial glory. You can win a football World Cup. Since the Suez debacle of 1956, the British
have also found their kicks in what historian Robert Skidelsky calls vicarious imperialism. This is usually safe - a simple
matter of banging on about the special relationship whenever the US bombs somebody - but, as Tony Blair found in Iraq,
vicarious imperialism can go horribly wrong.
The most enjoyable way to cope with post-imperialism is to laugh at yourself. The British have been doing this since Suez.
In 1957, in his play The Entertainer, John Osborne created the faded old comedian Archie Rice to symbolise a faded old
country. Rice boasts:
"Ive played in front of them all. The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, and the...what was the
name of that other pub?
Ideally, the US would now replace Trumpian anger with humour about national decline. The TV comedian John Oliver - a
Briton raised on post-imperialism - could lead the way, until, eventually, declinist jokes become so clichd that they reach
the big networks. That will be the sign the US has gotten over empire.
We will continue to document the ongoing hard fall of the Khazarian Empire and the continuing covert operations of the
Reformist Collective, together with our own independent analysis on their possible objectives.

The Strawman Is The Ego: The Parasite Cleanse Begins At Home

January 28 2016 | From: KitWalker
Humanity needs a parasite cleanse, I think thats not difficult to see at this point. Its becoming
more and more obvious that, no, it is NOT human nature to kill, steal, rape, destroy.
Anyone with their eyes and heart open can see that some of us have in fact been infected by a kind of virus, a
parasitic cancer of the soul, which is also contagious, and is spreading rapidly.
And those of us who have contracted this sickness can be recognized by a cold blooded lack of compassion and basic
humanity, a lack of true sense of humor or humility, and the tendency to put oneself and ones greed first, with no concern
for the effects of our actions on others, or on the planet. It sounds corporate, doesnt it? We should probably be asking
ourselves: Am I becoming like this?
In case you have never heard the term, in Native American traditions they have a word for this malignant virus of the psyche
and soul. It is called Wetiko. More about it here.
In this essay i am going to endeavor to bring to light to just how we can begin to deal with this malignancy, before it
overtakes us completely. In order to do that, we will need to see how it has infected us, and how it is using our energy.
Although this is not a pleasant topic, take heart. It must be done, and my feeling is that to SEE it clearly is most of the battle.
We can see the nuts and bolts of how it works in the system of corporate commerce.
The Strawman and the Ego are two sides of the same coin
What is the Strawman? You may have heard this term, and you may even be familiar with what it is, but perhaps you are not
really aware of how it works in your life, or, why it is something that you need to be aware of.
But if you are concerned about the encroaching corporatism that is enslaving humanity and destroying the planet, and you
want to be able to be effective in helping to stop this, then your Strawman is the place to start, because it is the corporation
that you are supposed to think is you. Yes, thats right, you are a corporation. The parasite cleanse begins at home, by
taking responsibility for your corporate self.
But when i say you, i mean your ego, not the infinite being that you truly are.
Here is a great introduction, a very short video called Meet Your Strawman
The way to identify your Strawman is that it is simply your name in all capital letters. It is the name that is used in all
business, on your passport, drivers license, bills, bank account information, and so forth.
Just like your ego, your Strawman is an artificial person. But the trick, the deception, is that you are never told that your
name in all capital letters is not really you, but a fictitious corporate entity. And you are tricked, time and time again, to sign
for this entity, all the while thinking it is you.
In the same way, most humans walk around thinking that they are the mental duality construct in their heads, which is kept
in place by unconscious reactivity, and built on uninspected assumptions about reality, inherited from parents, schools,
religions, and so forth. This psycho-somatic infection of unconscious society, just going through the motions, like a machine,
is called ego.
They Work Together
Lets notice the correlations between the strawman and the ego. They reinforce each other.
The ego is a false persona, i.e., a mask, a fictitious entity that we have been inculcated from birth to believe is us. It is just
an idea, the I thought.
That which rises as I in the body is the mind. If one inquires as to where in the body the thought I rises first, one
would discover that it rises in the Heart.
That is the place of the minds origin. Even if one thinks constantly I, I, one will be led to that place. Of all the
thoughts that arise in the mind, the I thought is the first. It is only after the rise of the I-thought that other
thoughts occur.
- Sri Ramana Maharshi

This ego persona has a name, a nationality, and later, religious beliefs, job, and so forth. It identifies itself by what it does,
how much money it has in the bank, whether it is a father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife, etc. It exists as a part of
time, because there is no place for it in timelessness. It is how we are bound in time.
Time is ruled in astrology by Saturn, which is also the ruling planet of the ego. It is Satan, and the sense of separate self. It
is the planet of Capricorn, which has to do with business, the corporate world, and the structures of society. No wonder so
much Satanic activity exists in the upper echelons of government, religion, and the entertainment (illusion) business! Saturn
is the ring-pass-not, the walls of society, outside of which you pass at your own risk. It is the rules, written and unwritten,
that are enforced outwardly by the legal system, and inwardly by group-think.
Scared, or Sacred
This is what i am noticing, and I am not seeing anyone mentioning this: the Strawman is the real-world representation
of the ego. It is a fictitious entity ascribed to you at birth, without your knowledge. When your parents signed your birth
certificate, and registered you with the state, your Strawman came into being. It is the corporate version of you. It is what
binds you into the system of commerce.
When you really start to contemplate and comprehend the correlations between the strawman and the ego, everything falls
into place. It is the only way the matrix is able to interact with you and steal your energy. And every time it does interact
with you it steals your energy.
And ego is the way that your energy gets robbed psychologically, because it places a limit on your infinite being. It locks you
in fear. The strawman is the scarecrow. Its purpose is to keep you in fear and without a soul. Made of straw. Scared, not
sacred.
Ego is Self-Contraction
The ego is the self-CONTRACTion. When you begin to understand exactly how ego works, you see how there is a subtle
contraction going on in the subtle energy bodies, as well as in the physical body, which gives the sense of I and other,
the sense of duality and separation, which is really the primal wound.
So we have to see how the system is constantly inviting, and moreover, coercing us to contract with it, in SO many
different ways, from gross to subtle. Any time you sign any kind of official document, or license, that contains your straw
man all-caps name, you are entering into a contract, you are contracting within the system of commerce.
Saturn is Satan, ego, and the principle of contraction, and rules contracts in general. All these things are really of the same
energy, that of limitation, and the binding force of duality and separation. We say we are bound by a contract.
You may say, well, so what, that doesnt affect me at all. Dont be so sure. Remain open. Investigate for yourself. Notice
how you feel. You may begin to recognize that in whatever contract you enter into within that system, you will be giving
consent for the system to use your energy, to use your life-force like a battery.
The Parasite
The system has been referred to in many shamanic teachings and traditions as the Parasite, and for good reason. We have
to see beyond the presentation it shows us, into what it is really doing with our energy. Why? Because, the more we
contract with it, the more it is eating our souls, and thus destroying our capacity to be creative and truly alive.
Negative emotions of all kinds are food for it. From the Toltec tradition :
The Parasite is a garbage eater. It loves fear and drama; it loves anger, jealousy, and envy; it loves any emotion
that makes you suffer.
- Don Miguel Ruiz : The Four Agreements
Notice how many of your problems are centered around money, and the commercial system. Notice the way it is designed
to keep you in fear, through the scarcity paradigm. If money was not an issue, how many of our problems would be left?
This is done by design.
When someone has no soul, they have lost connection to the Primal Source Consciousness beyond all duality, which is the
true source of all energy. The Sun we see in the sky is but a reflection of this Source Consciousness.
So when we begin to unravel the deceptions that fuel the whole ego process, we will inevitably come up against their real-
world applications, and we will find the roots of those applications in the Uniform Commerce Code, the commercial system.
Remember as well, that the legal system used all over the world, and centered in the private city-state within London called
the City of London, in the form of the BAR Association, is completely tied into the UCC as well.
We will see how ego is reinforced by conditions of the system, and our relationships with others. We will begin to understand
how unwelcome we have become in the land of the walking dead. It can be a very frightening experience for the awakening
soul to really get the ramifications of this.
As John Lennon said: the more real you get, the more unreal the world gets. We begin to see that this is a massive
deception going on here, much like in the Truman Show movie. A hologram, a dream (even a nightmare), a virtual reality.
Uniform Commerce Code (UCC)
The Uniform Commerce Code is the system by which all corporations interact, and it is in effect all over the planet. Since
corporations can only interact with other corporations, and not with living beings, using this code, it became necessary that
each human being become a mini-corporation of one.
Related: The Birth Certificate Odyssey
Since that is something no human being in their right mind would want to be, and since our consent is necessary for it to
happen, our consent has to be obtained by way of deception. Why would anyone agree to having their energy stolen?
Imagine if farm animals could understand how they were being used? Do you think they would agree to that?
One way to get your consent is to get it right when you are born, before you know better. And it is done by tricking your
parents into signing you away, registering you to the state, as property of the state, much like cattle, or chattel, through the
birth certificate. This is what the term human resources refers to. But your parents are not told that. The truth of what is
really happening is hidden from them, so they simply think they are doing the right thing.
But then also we have to understand how the language of the legal system has been twisted, by assigning alternate
meanings to words we use all the time. So that when we agree to one thing, we are in fact agreeing to something else
entirely, which, if it were fully disclosed to us, we would never otherwise consent to.
There is so much great information available now about all of this, that i encourage you to do your own research, to
understand exactly how this works.
Check your Cheques
Here is a dead giveaway. Seemingly small, but the implications are huge. If you have a chequing account at a bank, take a
look at one of your personal checks.
Notice the line where you are supposed to sign the cheque. Notice at the end of the line it says MP. What does MP mean?
It means Micro Print. In other words, that line on which you would sign your name is not really a line, it is actually micro print
of some words. But in order to see those words you need a magnifying glass. And what do they say? Authorized
Signature. Dont believe me? Check your checks!
Lets look at the crux of the issue. Why is it, that you are not supposed to know that the strawman is not you? Why does it
say authorized signature SO small on your checks, that you cant read it without a magnifying glass? The official answer
is that it prevents fraud. Well, of course, like all official answers, the truth is the exact opposite. Actually, it IS fraud, and you
are not supposed to see that.
Look, if you are the financial officer of a large corporation, and it is your job to sign the checks, theres no problem. You
know what you are doing. You know that you arent that corporation, and that it is just your job to sign the checks. It says
authorized signature in big letters, so you can see that the person who is signing is administrating the account. On the
checks of a company or corporation, authorized signature is written large enough to see. It is only on personal checks that
you have to use a magnifying glass.
So in the case of your own checking account, you are not supposed to recognize that it is the exact same process going on !
WHY? inquiring minds want to know!
Your Natural Sign
It is because in fact, the state wants to be the administrator of your account, because in the states mind, it OWNS you. But,
in order to activate your account in the myriad ways it wants to, it needs your signature. It needs the SIGN of your NATURE.
Your natural, living self. Your ALIVENESS. It needs your CONSENT. And when you put that signature there, the state, and
whatever it is behind that, receives your infinite energy.
In many cases, like when you are receiving a bank loan, your signature represents years of your time, energy, and attention,
and you are receiving money that was created out of thin air, with a couple of clicks in a computer. Now, THAT is fraud.
Artificial Intelligence
The entity behind the corporate state is parasitic. It is artificial intelligence. It has no infinite energy of its own. It NEEDS your
energy, and it needs you to remain UNCONSCIOUS. It does not like conscious energy. Consciousness Itself is
KRYPTONITE to these entities. It is like sunlight to mold, it kills it. This entity survives by being hidden, and in the dark. Like
a vampire, it cannot go out in the sun. It will die.
Think of the wizard in the Wizard of Oz. There is a big sleight-of-hand light show going on, that is mesmerizing everyone.
And where does this light show get its electricity? From you, from us, from those of us who unconsciously consent to being
used as batteries. As you watch TV, your consciousness is the electricity that lights it up, as it is drained out of you.
So to me, the crux of the issue, more than anything, is that if you are going to enter the commercial system, you need to do
it consciously. You need to understand exactly what is happening, and what are the far reaching ramifications of engaging
with it, for yourself, and for others. Understand the ways that it is powered by your energy, and take responsibility for that.
When you understand that YOU are the administrator of the straw man account, rather than the trustee, YOU are the one in
control of it. So it is your decision to enter into a contract or not, fully understanding the ramifications. You remain in your
power. But you also are aware of the risks.
Ego as Servant
Similarly, sometimes we need to use the ego, as a protective shield, as a vehicle for navigating 3D reality, and so forth.
When ego is the servant, its true function is restored. When someone awakens to the Divine Reality, it is as if the King has
returned home, much like Odysseus in the Greek masterwork, the Odyssey.
The King regains His throne, in the heart. And the impostor ego-mind is pushed out of the throne he has been occupying
illegally. He is pushed back down to the floor and simply Outshone. The Sun Heart King says, I am the administrator here,
and you are the servant. Get thee behind me.
But it is not desirable to the state that you enter into the contract consciously, because you will immediately perceive the
fraud, and you will have taken back your power. You are no longer the trustee, or the slave, the pawn, the one acted upon.
And then the state is restored to its true function, as nothing more than servant.
Understanding this is key to understanding how commerce can steal your soul, and thus cut you off from the source of
creation. And if you are a creative artist, then your art will gradually take on the quality of the corporate system, which is
imitation. Artificial intelligence, not real human intelligence. It will happen incrementally, so you wont ever really notice until
its gone, and then of course, you wont have the capacity to notice any more.
Source Creation: Spontaneous Unlimited Manifestation
The enlightened view includes the process of manifestation, includes this constant effulgence that creates all the
things in the world from the void, that materializes each thing from nothing. In that sense, reality is a wizard. Out of
complete nothingness appears all that we perceive and experience. And its as simple and as easy as dreaming
something.
When you dream, you create a whole universe that feels like solid matter; people get hurt and various things
happen, but its really not taking any effort. You are completely asleep, completely resting, and it is all happening. It
is the same with Quintessence; it is completely still and silent, and at the same time it is unfolding everything with
effortless ease and spontaneity.
- From Diamond Heart Book Five: Inexhaustible Mystery, ch. 13, by A.H. Almaas
Source creation is the spontaneous abundance of infinite Life. It knows no end, it knows no limitation. It is this unlimited
abundance that the Parasite needs to feed off of, because it has no direct access itself to this energy. So its main purpose is
to keep you, through the process of attention, distracted from your connection to Source.
It does this through commerce, as well as religion and many other means. Ultimately it would prefer to see you permanently
disconnected, with it acting as middle man, so it can use your eternal energy without any interference from you. Thats why
it needs to obtain your consent through deceptive means.
Strawman as Corpse
Just as some original cultures feel that every photograph would steal their soul (careful, selfie-takers!!), every time you sign
whatever legal or financial documents, it is important to see the process that happens, through your corporation, your
corporate persona, your corpse, your straw man.
The straw man is a corpse. A dead body. A corp(se)oration. It is worth nothing to the state without your consent. It needs the
LIVING SIGNATURE to receive the energy it needs to survive. Please recognize this!
And understand, as well, that merely seeing this thoroughly, completely changes the game. We do not need to fight against
the state. That is exactly what it wants, actually. It can just as easily steal your energy if you are fighting against it, as if you
are cooperating with it. When you SEE what is really happening, you can choose to participate or not. Sometimes it will be
to your advantage to participate in some way, sometimes not. But you will be able to make an informed decision. And
ultimately, when you refuse to play the game, the Parasite loses one more food source.
Going Truly Off-Grid
This ups the ante considerably on the whole process of going off-grid. It is so much more than just having a solar panel,
although perhaps having the solar panel could be a metaphor for having your own direct connection to the Invisible and
Indivisible Sun of Divine Reality.
To withdraw from the entire system at once is tricky. Since there is no alternative yet to that game, its the only game in
town. Leaving it, is to truly go off-grid.
This requires a total transformation on all levels at once, which is not something that is going to happen for most of us
overnight. But there are steps that can be taken, once we recognize the nature of this game. We can gradually plug the
leaks, so to speak, by eliminating all the ways that energy is taken, one by one. Being in debt, especially to a bank, is the
first and very obvious one. All debt needs to be eliminated.
Cooperation is the Antidote to the Corporation
Also, wherever possible, pass money from hand to hand, without running it through the commercial system. Simplify your
life. If we cant grow our own food, we can perhaps buy it from people we know who do grow it. Whenever possible pass
money directly to people who are making a real contribution. Avoid giving your money to large corporations, and avoid
getting it through large corporations.
All of this requires a major reorientation of your life. But every little bit helps to starve the beast. And, we have to work
together. Cooperation is the antidote to the corporation.
But the most important part is to go off-grid within. To drop back from the grid of the mind and time, into the mirror state of
the witness, and simply reflect, until all dissolves. The outer will follow suit, especially if enough of us practice this and we
sustain it.
Realisation and Renunciation
As the great masters have said, realization and renunciation are two sides of the same coin. To really see through and
dissolve the ego leads to the dismantling of the egos part in creating the false construct that is overlaid on Reality. The
Strawman is the egos evil twin. Without the energy of the ego, the straw man falls down, dead.
Then one sees through the illusion of ownership, worldly success, power over others, control, and the binding power of the
ten thousand things on the soul is dissolved.
As far as i can tell, to have a fully embodied enlightenment that becomes actualization, the inner and outer aspects of our
lives need to coincide, and in fact, will, since outside is a reflection of inside.
It is not that in renouncing the world, one pushes the world away through an act of will. This is just more ego. It is just
simply that one sees that they can no longer participate in the fruitless and illusory drama of having and doing for its own
sake. One wakes up from the dream, which is habitually superimposed on Reality, and one sees things as they truly are.
The Power of Witnessing
Lets not be afraid to look at this. And lets understand how powerfully transformational it is to the entire morphogenetic field,
just to simply see, to simply reflect, to BE the Witness and see all of it, as in a mirror, unclouded by any agenda, whether
someone elses, or our own.
Yes, maybe something will need to be done, but it is important to understand that all the so-called power that this parasitic
system has comes from it being hidden, occult, a secret.
Bringing it fully into the light will kill it, just like sunlight kills a vampire. It is counting on your denial, and your unwillingness to
face it head on, with open eyes. Until we all do that, en masse, nothing will truly change.
And when we do, EVERYTHING will change in an instant.
2016 Market Meltdown: We Have Never Seen A Year Start Quite Like This
January 25 2016 | From: TheEconomicCollapse
We are about three weeks into 2016, and we are witnessing things that we have never seen
before.
There were two emergency market shutdowns in China within the first four trading days of this year, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average has never lost this many points within the first three weeks, and just yesterday we learned that
global stocks had officially entered bear market territory.
Related: Global Stocks Enter Bear Market: One-Fifth Of All Worldwide Stock Market Wealth Is Already Gone
Overall, more than 15 trillion dollars of global stock market wealth has been wiped out since last June. And of course the
markets are simply playing catch up with global economic reality. The Baltic Dry Index just hit another new all-time record
low today, Wal-Mart has announced that they are shutting down 269 stores, and initial jobless claims in the U.S. just surged
to their highest level in six months. So if things are this bad already, what will the rest of 2016 bring?
The Dow was up just a little bit on Thursday thankfully, but even with that gain we are still in unprecedented
territory. According to CNBC, we have never seen a tougher start to the year for the Dow than we have in 2016
The Dow Jones industrial average, which was created in 1896, has never begun a year with 12 worse trading
days. Through Wednesdays close, the Dow has fallen 9.5 percent. Even including the 1.3 percent gains as of
noon Thursday, the Dow is still down nearly 8 percent in 2016."
But even with the carnage that we have seen so far, stocks are still wildly overpriced compared to historical averages. In
order for stocks to no longer be in a bubble, they will still need to decline by about another one-third. The following comes
from MarketWatch
Data from the U.S. Federal Reserve, meanwhile, say U.S. nonfinancial corporate stocks are now valued at about
90% of the replacement cost of company assets, a metric known as Tobins Q. But the historic average, going
back a century, is in the region of 60% of replacement costs.
By this measure, stocks could fall by another third, taking the Dow all the way down toward 10,000. (On
Wednesday it closed at 15,767.) Similar calculations could be reached by comparing share prices to average per-
share earnings, a measure known as the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio, commonly known as CAPE,
after Yale finance professor Robert Shiller, who made it famous."
Of course the mainstream media doesnt seem to understand any of this. They seem to be under the impression that the
bubble should have lasted forever, and this latest meltdown has taken them totally by surprise.
Ultimately, what is happening should not be a surprise to any of us. The financial markets always catch up with economic
reality eventually, and right now evidence continues to mount that economic activity is significantly slowing down. Here is
some analysis from Brandon Smith
Trucking freight in the U.S. is in steep decline, with freight companies pointing to a glut in inventories and a fall in
demand as the culprit.
Morgan Stanleys freight transportation update indicates a collapse in freight demand worse than that seen during
2009.
The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of global freight rates and thus a measure of global demand for shipping of raw
materials, has collapsed to even more dismal historic lows. Hucksters in the mainstream continue to push the lie
that the fall in the BDI is due to an overabundance of new ships. However, the CEO of A.P. Moeller-Maersk, the
worlds largest shipping line, put that nonsense to rest when he admitted in November that global growth is
slowing down and [t]rade is currently significantly weaker than it normally would be under the growth forecasts we
see.
In addition, another very troubling sign is the fact that initial jobless claims are starting to surge once again
The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits in mid-January reached seven-month highs,
perhaps a sign that the rate of layoffs in the U.S. has risen slightly from record lows.
Initial jobless claims climbed a seasonally adjusted 10,000 to 293,000 in the seven days stretching from Jan. 10 to
Jan 16, the government said Thursday. Thats the highest level since last July."
Since the last recession, the primary engine for the creation of good jobs in this country has been the energy industry.
Unfortunately, the oil boomtowns are now going bust, and workers are being laid off in droves. As I mentioned the other
day, 42 North American oil companies have filed for bankruptcy and 130,000 good paying energy jobs have been lost in this
country since the start of 2015. And as long as the price of oil stays in this neighborhood, the worse things are going to get.
A lot of people out there still seem to think that this is just going to be a temporary downturn. Many are convinced that we
will just go through another tough recession and then we will come out okay on the other side. What they dont realize is
that a number of long-term trends are now reaching a crescendo.
For decades, we have been living wildly beyond our means. The federal government, state and local governments,
corporations and consumers have all been going into debt far faster than our economy has been growing. Of course this
was never going to be sustainable in the long run, but we had been doing it for so long that many of us had come to believe
that our exceedingly reckless debt-fueled prosperity was somehow normal.
Unfortunately, the truth is that you cant consume far more than you produce forever. Eventually reality catches up with
you. This is a point that Simon Black made extremely well in one of his recent articles
Economics isnt complicated. The Universal Law of Prosperity is very simple: produce more than you consume.
Governments, corporations, and individuals all have to abide by it. Those who do will thrive. Those who dont will
fail, sooner or later.
When the entire financial system ignores this fundamental rule, it puts us all at risk.
And if you can understand that, you can take simple, sensible steps to prevent the consequences."
Sadly, the time for avoiding the consequences of our actions is now past.
We are now starting to pay the price for decades of incredibly bone-headed decisions, and anyone that is looking to Barack
Obama, the Federal Reserve or anyone else in Washington D.C. to be our savior is going to be bitterly disappointed.
And as bad as things have been so far, just wait until you see what happens next.
2016 is the year when everything changes.

Neil Keenan Update: Indonesia At Bat: Connect The Dots

January 24 2016 | From: NeilKeenan
The Prelude: I believe you know me by now and realize that I like cracking jokes, despite the
pressure. And to be frank, if I have a choice on how to handle things I would rather joke about the
entire mess and deal with it without your having to face it, or even know it is being dealt with and
then finally reappear making light of the entire issue.
There is no need for everyone to feel the pressure if a few can make it go away. I would rather be the one that faces
that music. It is apparent that the music playing today is a familiar song to me and understand this game we have
been playing for years now always would determine the outcome of our civilization.
First of all our opposition has had their side picked for a long time, while we are near formation of ours and about ready to let
things fly, so the best I can think of saying is give me that damn bat we are not losing today or any day I just have to be
ready for the spitter, you see, they do not play fair
Raymond Reddington is taking out the cabal in his world (in the television series The Blacklist) and now it is time for us to
do the same in our world, the real world.
I have said for many years that Indonesia is at the epicenter of everything that needs to transpire. It had to be. It has been
at the center since the 1950s when the Western Alliance and Japan moved their stolen assets (mostly from China)
throughout Asia to be used by them at a later date.
With the stolen assets being the real prize of the war which coincidentally was planned no later than 1921 by Emperor
Hirohito and the Western Powers in London. No sooner had the First World War ended and we had conspiracies beginning
for a Second World War.
Soon after the Second World War and the theft and rape of many nations we had the Bretton Woods agreement which only
gave the West, who created their own financial system, the opportunity to steal whatever it is and was they tucked away.
And they did tuck it away for a rainy day and that day is now, and the place is Indonesia.
Without the stolen assets placed in locations such as Indonesia the West is going to suffer a horrible defeat. China is up on
its heels, along with Russia, India and others including usual friends England and Germany and to be frank they are not
going to put up with Western bullshit any longer.
They have been stripping them down without firing a shot and magnificently so at that. Then again the United States voted
in a layman as President and he will be the one in the history books to take the blame for all that has happened and
although unjust it is rightful seeing the mouthpiece of the West has no idea what he is doing (or does he?).
In the following preface you will see not only do the dots connect with what is happening now in Indonesia but how it all
coincides with the Presidential election of Donald Trump; the only man that can and will be able to help us.
We no longer need Democrats or Republicans, both are of the same smelly ilk anyway (Soros/Rothschild) and although Mr.
Trump is running as a Republican you can quickly reflect back a couple of months when he was ready to leave the party if it
continued playing games.
He is not one of their boys simply because he is his own man paying his own way. And on this worldwide stage and with the
entire game at stake and Indonesia at bat you can clearly see a repetition of the Sukarno/Kennedy alliance emanating in the
very near future between Trump and Widodo (the current President of Indonesia).
I have spent a lot of time in Indonesia and I see how they can be (not just they but all) joined at the hips, thereby making this
world a better place as it was meant to be.
There are necessary steps that have to be taken and things that have to be done by the Indonesian people in order to bring
about certain specific outcomes; but when this is all over with not only Indonesia and the East win this ballgame, but we all
win.
Yet the Key to winning is the same as in any game and that is the Trump card and be sure the United States holds the one
and only unique Trump card in the world.
The Preface
In his typical lighthearted fashion, on this occasion Neil begins by introducing us to his Snow Woman, Thasja; who is
blessed with M&Ms for eyes and shells from Bali as buttons.
Neil notes that this post has been, unfortunately, a bit of a rushed job but there are a few serious matters that need to be
tabled.
The mall attack in Jakarta had nothing to do with foreigners. This attack was another attempt to spread the cabal-
engineered brand of the Islamic State and Islamic extremism further around the world. It was also a message from the
cabal that they do not want the Global Collateral Accounts assets released.
But they have no choice in the matter. The truth is that this latest false flag event was carried out by an Indonesian national
who used to work for the Islamic State in Syria. This man had previously spent over two years in jail in Indonesia on
terrorism charges.
Neil also reminds us about the insurrection in Indonesia that was financed by Rothschild bagman George Soros - that the
Indonesian military had to put an end to.
He recalls Bill Clintons Arkansas Foundation funneling drug money into the country so that they could try to assassinate the
Vice President of Indonesia with a plan to plant a western cabal-run Vice President in his place there.
Neil reminds us that the Japanese military mobilized for the first time since WW2, in an attempt to invade and steal the
Indonesian Gold; only to be derailed by Keenan who publicly exposed the planned attack.
Neil further exposes the plot regarding Colombian drug money being sent by the Clinton Arkansas Foundation directly to
Indonesian globalists and politicians, in their attempt to create panic and chaos in Indonesia and to manufacture a cabal-
controlled government.
Remember, the plan was to assassinate the Indonesian Vice President.
The Clinton Gang had flown in on their private jets, the Japanese Emperors sister had also flown in on her jet with her
Indonesian husband, and money transfers had taken place through Bill Clintons Arkansas Foundation directly to a political
party.
Said funds were illegal, confiscated Colombian drug funds which somehow found their way from the US Drug Enforcement
Agency coffers through the Arkansas Foundation into Indonesia with the main objective being to steal what does not belong
to either the Clintons nor the Japanese Emperors sister. The assets belong to the depositors.
We advised long ago that this was the plan, and of course that the Japanese Military is on standby. Should they not be able
to purchase the gold, the West and their allies will attempt to take the assets one way or another.
Neil recalls the World Economic Forum meeting in Jakarta and their efforts to get their sticky mitts further into Indonesia. It is
important to acknowledge that the World Economic Forum is another name for the Bilderberg network. These
organizations are the same but different, in some respects.
In any event, we know for sure that the way that these thugs infiltrate countries is by way of heavy investment investment
with certain devious terms. And then soon enough, when a nation cannot repay the debt owed to said WEF, demand for
payment will be made in terms of resources and assets, including political placements.
Neil reiterates that China and other countries have made it very clear that they no longer want any of these US dollar
Federal Reserve Notes. They are dumping them and they are working towards taking down the US dollar as the global
reserve currency, by requiring that payments for goods and services rendered be made in their own national currencies.
This further serves to weaken the grip of the cabal with regards to their already-sinking ship. The US corporation dollar could
have been saved once upon a time but now it has to go; as it is too far gone.
Everybody is fed up with the puppet Obama and the machinations of his handlers.
These people; the likes of Barack Obama in the US, David Cameron in the UK, John Key in New Zealand, and whomever
the current Prime Minister of the day happens to be in Australia do only what their handlers instruct them to do.
Neil reflects upon the current Presidential race in the US and asserts his belief only one of the candidates that is going to be
of any assistance to the people of America and the world that being Donald Trump.
While there are many people still trying to get their heads around the concept of a President Trump; he is the only
candidate that refuses to deal with moneyed lobbyists and corporate funding. He is fully self-funded and will not let anybody
attach strings to him, such that they would like to pull.
The rest of the candidates are hopeless bipartisan system cut-out phonies and Hillary is going to wind up in jail.
Neil states that without a President Trump, it would be extremely difficult to get assets from the Global Collateral Accounts
into the United States without said resources being swiped by the cabal.
Therefore; Donald Trump should not only be the officially elected President of the United States of America; but as for We
The People of America, and We The People of the World he should become known as the Trump card.
And as we understand the Trump card supersedes all others.
He will rid us of the vermin that reside within, and who occupy and control the system. And in essence, we talk about the
Pied Piper often, but this is one individual who will clean up the mess that others created. He is a winner, but most of all he
is Donald Trump, and that is what makes him unique.
Neil notes again the increasing number of properties being purchased in New Zealand, because the cabal now realize that
the strongholds they had established in places such as Costa Rica are now not far away enough for them; from the mess
that they intentionally created. And the cabal are keenly aware that this mess is soon to catch up with them.
It has emerged that many members of the cabal have planned to relocate to remote New Zealand locations and
to exterminate the Maori population they intend to take control of their remote tribal landholdings in order to establish
strongholds there.
But the Maori are a warrior race; and there are many in NZ who are all too well aware of the game that is afoot.
Neil notes that the funding and projects that will come to New Zealand from the Global Collateral Accounts will come only by
way of Richard, who is a member of Group K, and who was born in, and who lives in New Zealand.
In New Zealand, as in all places, the Global Collateral Account assets will be distributed by way of foundations that will be
especially established in order that the cabal and their minions cannot gain access to any GCA assets.
Neil reflects upon the point that we could have had this whole thing done earlier, and that in the early days resources were
not perhaps always used in the best possible ways but this is to be expected when one is gaining an assessment of the
lay of the land and whos who in the zoo, so to speak.
Additionally, contributing to the fact that we are not out of this bind yet are the actions of the numerous shills such as the
Italian Daniel dal Bosco, who got in the way and created trouble on the behalf of the P2 Lodge / Vatican.
This is all covered in the recently published History and Events Timeline section of our website. (There are now PDF
download versions of this material available, and at the time of writing these are available in English and Russian. We also
have further translations in the works for other recent posts).
Neil reminds us of the threat made by John Kerry when he visited Indonesia; that he wanted the gold and when he was
told that he could not have any gold - he remarked about the weather and earthquake technologies that the West (the
Zionist Nazi faction of the Cabal) have access to.
Kerry indirectly threatened to sink Indonesia (and any other country that attempts to stand in their way) and this threat is on
the record just so you know. One further note; Indonesia has already felt the wrath of the HAARP machines, as have
Turkey and a number of South American nations.
The cabal will not be taking over Indonesia.
Neil notes that he is very clear on the steps that need to be taken from here. We are just about there, and we will win. There
are no second thoughts, we will win.
Neil recalls that when John F. Kennedy returned home from his last meeting with President Sukarno in Indonesia relating to
efforts to establish a new US financial system that at that time, JFK already had two strikes against him.
The first being Kennedys return of West Papua from the Dutch, to the Indonesians; thereby alienating the oil and corporate
magnates that had significant control over strategic locations, also noted for gold deposits.
Secondly, Kennedy overlooked the deception with regards to his very own Vice President Lyndon Johnson who
was receiving all information pertaining to the proceedings in Indonesia and who was forwarding this information to his
handlers; information relating to the dissolution of both the CIA and the Federal Reserve Banks.
This directly led to to John F. Kennedys assassination.
Both Presidents Kennedy and Sukarno were working on numerous projects to make their nations stronger and greater; but
one such project in particular was the new American financial system; eliminating all privately owned Federal Reserve FIAT
currency printing and returning the power of issuance of the nations currency to the American government itself.
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority
to basically strip the Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.
With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon
be out of business.
The text of Executive Order President Kennedys Executive Order (E.O.) 11110 modified the pre-existing
Executive Order 10289 issued by U.S. President Harry S. Truman on September 17, 1951, and stated the
following:
The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby designated and empowered to perform the following-described functions
of the President without the approval, ratification, or other action of the President
The order then lists tasks (a) through (h) which the Secretary may now do without instruction from the President.
None of the powers assigned to the Treasury in E.O. 10289 relate to money or to monetary policy. Kennedys E.O.
11110 then instructs that: SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 9, 1951, as amended, is hereby
further amended (a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph:
The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31
U.S.C. 821(b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury
not then held for redemption of an outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver
certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption, and (b) By
revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof. SECTION 2.
The amendments made by this Order shall not affect any act done, or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or
proceeding had or commenced in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such liabilities
shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not been made.
John F. Kennedy,
THE WHITE HOUSE, June 4, 1963.
And in concluding this update, Neil touches on the point that he has a number of Irons in the fire and it is simply a matter of
time until he gets things moving either now and / or once he is back in Indonesia. We are very close to our goal now and so
Neil is choosing his words with great consideration.
Neil Keenan and Group K.

Crashing Oil Prices And The Conspiracy To Free Us From Debt Slavery
January 24 2016 | From: WakingTimes
With cheap gasoline at the pump, and increased interest rates, youd think we were just recovering
from a bad financial hang-over, but something much more sinister is at place. Dont worry though,
there is a happy ending. A revolution is happening before our eyes.
Oversupply is not the reason that oil is dropping in price faster that Exxon Corporation can say uh-oh. Canadian
oil is dropping even lower, in some cases to $8 a barrel.
Russia is not suffering from these falling oil prices, either, as the mainstream press would convey. Similarly, despite the
recent Fed hike in the US interest rate, which is the first in more than a decade, this does not herald an economic turning
point, at least not for the debt-slavery system that is currently in place, but that is crumbling. The magic-money system of
debt and quantitative easing based on the petro-dollar is on its knees. This was an act of desperation.
Falling oil prices are not driving Moscow to expand its austerity program in an attempt to balance an expected deficit of
$38.6 billion in 2016. You can be sure President Vladimir Putin was at least three chess moves ahead of tumbling oil prices.
Marek Dabrowski, co-founder of the Center for Social and Economic Research in Warsaw and a professor at Moscows
Higher School of Economics, recently ran the numbers on the oil-exporting economies and discovered a paradox. Russia is
not even close to being the most oil-dependent of these countries.
It gets even more interesting though. China has announced that the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is up and
running as promised late last year. Members of the bank include China, Russia, Denmark, Egypt, Iran, Italy, Poland,
Sweden, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Kuwait, and others noticeably absent is the United States of America.
Moreover, the BRICS Bank, headed by Russia, is also moving forward. A recent Forbes article, titled, With Russian Official
Said to Head BRICS Bank, Will Dollars Get Dissed? invokes the underlying theme of the silent revolution happening under
our noses.
Add to the picture commerce between Europe and North America has literally come to a halt. For the first time in known
history, few cargo ships are in-transit in the North Atlantic between Europe and North America. All of them (hundreds) are
either anchored offshore or in-port. NOTHING is moving, reports ZeroHedge. Some claim that shipping companies
are demanding to be paid in Chinese yuan, and this is why no goods are moving.
Add these little tidbits:
The Swiss National Bank decoupled from the Euro.
Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts claimed the Federal Reserve doesnt have any more gold. Thats
why they could only give Germany 5 tons of the 1,500 tons its holding. In fact, when Germany asked for this delivery, the
Fed said no.
China has been dumping US debt.
Commerce that is dry goods going from other countries to the US as measured by the Baltic Dry Index, has been greatly
slowed if not stopped.
China and Russia have been buying up physical gold.

12,000 oil-smuggling trucks have been caught taking Iraqs liquid gold into Turkey for use via ISIS.
Russia now has access to cheap oil from Iran.
Countries have been clamoring to exit the cabal banking system propped up by US Mafioso banks and criminal drug
cartels, as well as a rigged stock market.
The US Stock market took a nose dive at the beginning of the year.
As Matt Taibi wrote for Rolling Stone last year in an article titled, Everything is Rigged, Continued: European Commission
Raids Oil Companies in Price Fixing Probe,: the European Commission regulators yesterday raided the offices of oil
companies in London, the Netherlands and Norway as part of an investigation into possible price-rigging in the oil markets.
The targeted companies include BP, Shell and the Norwegian company Statoil. The Guardian explains that officials believe
that oil companies colluded to manipulate pricing data.
To many, it is old news that the US Corporate government is bankrupt. The new news is how they are being taken down
systematically by the white hats and other benevolent interests within our world organizations that are tired of being pushed
around by criminals using the petro-dollar, and fiat money.
These signs tell of a larger picture.
Secret bank bailouts are soon to be a thing of the past. So are bank bail-ins. Industry corruption such as the Fifa bribe
which was funneled via HSBC in Hong Kong came from a US bank fined for a link to Colombian drug cartel will continue to
be exposed, and huge fines will be paid. In other cases, bankers representing the cabal will be fired or put in jail.
At the end of 2015, the CEO of Brazils largest investment bank was arrested. This was accompanied by huge layoffs at
major banks across the US. Regions bank has announced 260 layoffs for 2016. Bank of America, Citibank and other cabal-
fronts will also lay off thousands of people this year. As part of a crackdown on corruption, China has also uncovered the
largest underground bank in the country.
Over 370 individuals involved in the scheme have been arrested, according to the Peoples Daily, for handling 400 billion
yuan ($64 billion) in illegal foreign-exchange transactions. It seems the crime syndicate had tentacles everywhere. Though
slow, the preliminary schedule for mass arrests and for the re-chartering of the worlds fraudulent banking system is
underway.
With cyber warfare becoming part of leaked news daily, the strategic moves of Putin, and the new banking institutions
coming into the fore, we may finally see the end of Cabal rule.
Corporate Philanthropism: Who Exactly Benefits Most From The Global Giving By
Billionaires?
January 23 2016 | From: GlobalResearch
As the worlds political and economic elite gather to discuss their top concerns at the annual
Davos summit in the Swiss Alps and with attention this week focused on the scourge of economic
inequality, a new report begs questions about the potentially disastrous role the super-wealthy are
playing when it comes to addressing key problems of global inequity, endemic poverty, and
international development.
Released on Wednesday, the study by the UK-based social justice group Global Justice Now takes a specific look
at the impact of the worlds largest philanthropic charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), to assess
how large-scale private giving may be skewing how international aid works.
In its conclusion, the report argues that what may look like altruism on a grand scale may actually mask a sinister reality
about how the billionaires of the world insulate their personal fortunes while using their out-sized influence to project their
private ideologies and further financial interests. The result, the report suggests, is that many of the people and communities
who such charities purport to be helping, may actually be worse off in the long run.
With more than $43 billion in assets, the Gates Foundation is often lauded as a global force for social good that uses its vast
financial resources to launch initiatives and support existing projects in order to, according to its mission, help all people
lead healthy, productive lives.
The new report, however - entitled Gated Development: Is the Gates Foundation Always a Force for Good? - argues
that regardless of good intentions or motivations, the foundations concentration of power is undemocratically and
unaccountably skewing the direction of international development which in turn is exacerbating global inequality and
entrenching corporate power internationally.
As Mark Jones, lead researcher and author of the report, explains in the introduction:
"Analysis of the BMGFs programmes shows that the foundation, whose senior staff is overwhelmingly drawn from
corporate America, is promoting multinational corporate interests at the expense of social and economic justice.
Its strategy is deepening and is intended to deepen the role of multinational companies in global health and
agriculture especially, even though these corporations are responsible for much of the poverty and injustice that
already plagues the global south.
Indeed, much of the money the BMGF has to spend derives from investments in some of the worlds biggest and
most controversial companies; thus the BMGFs ongoing work significantly depends on the ongoing
profitability of corporate America, something which is not easy to square with genuinely realising social
and economic justice in the global south."
Polly Jones, head of campaigns and policy at Global Justice Now, highlights why the foundations unique role as a private
organization is so troubling when it comes to putting a check on its enormous influence on the world stage.
The Gates Foundation has rapidly become the most influential actor in the world of global health and agricultural policies,
but theres no oversight or accountability in how that influence is managed, argues Polly Jones.
"This concentration of power and influence is even more problematic when you consider that the philanthropic
vision of the Gates Foundation seems to be largely based on the values of corporate America.
The foundation is relentlessly promoting big business-based initiatives such as industrial agriculture, private health
care and education. But these are all potentially exacerbating the problems of poverty and lack of access to basic
resources that the foundation is supposed to be alleviating.
Based on a careful review of the charitys behavior, the report offers these specific criticisms of the Gates
Foundation:
The relationship between the money that the foundation has to give away and Microsofts tax practices. A 2012 report
from the US Senate found that Microsofts use of offshore subsidiaries enabled it to avoid taxes of $4.5 billion a sum
greater than the BMGFs annual grant making ($3.6 billion in 2014).
The close relationship that BMGF has with many corporations whose role and policies contribute to ongoing poverty. Not
only is BMGF profiting from numerous investments in a series of controversial companies which contribute to economic and
social injustice, it is also actively supporting a series of those companies, including Monsanto, Dupont and Bayer through a
variety of pro-corporate initiatives around the world.
The foundations promotion of industrial agriculture across Africa, pushing for the adoption of GM, patented seed systems
and chemical fertilisers, all of which undermine existing sustainable, small-scale farming that is providing the vast majority of
food security across the continent.
The foundations promotion of projects around the world pushing private healthcare and education. Numerous agencies
have raised concerns that such projects exacerbate inequality and undermine the universal provision of such basic human
necessities.
BMGFs funding of a series of vaccine programmes that have reportedly lead to illnesses or even deaths with little official
or media scrutiny.
In Polly Jones forward to the report, she explains why the ideological underpinnings of the foundationoften overlooked or
ignored in mainstream assessments - are essential to understanding the downside of BMFGs powerful influence:
"[This report] demonstrates that the trend to involve business in addressing poverty and inequality is central to the
priorities and funding of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
We argue that this is far from a neutral charitable strategy but instead an ideological commitment to promote
neoliberal economic policies and corporate globalisation. Big business is directly benefitting, in particular in the
fields of agriculture and health, as a result of the foundations activities, despite evidence to show that business
solutions are not the most effective.
For the foundation in particular, there is an overt focus on technological solutions to poverty. While technology
should have a role in addressing poverty and inequality, long term solutions require social and economic justice.
This cannot be given by donors in the form of a climate resilient crop or cheaper smartphone, but must be about
systemic social, economic and political change issues not represented in the foundations funding priorities."
Earlier this week, Oxfam International released a report showing that economic inequality across the globe has soared to
such heights that now a mere 16 individual billionaires, including Bill Gates, own more wealth than the 3.6 billion people who
represent the poorest half of the worlds population. In total, the report confirmed, the richest 1% of people now own more
than the bottom 99% combined.
These shocking levels of unequal distribution of wealth are the cause, say experts, of increasingly intractable poverty levels
in places like sub-Saharan Africa and across the Global South.
The richest, said Oxfams executive director Winnie Byanyima, can no longer pretend their wealth benefits
everyone their extreme wealth in fact shows an ailing global economy. The recent explosion in the wealth of the
super-rich has come at the expense of the majority and particularly the poorest people.
Last week, as Common Dreams reported, international watchdog group The Global Policy Forum put out its own critical
report critical regarding the impacts of large philanthropic foundations and charities. Employing the term
philanthrocapitalism to described the phenonomen, the report argues that the influence of large foundations in shaping the
global development agenda, including health, food, nutrition, and agriculture raises a number of concerns in terms of how it
is affecting governments and the UN development system.
And the intersection between outrageous levels of inequality on the one hand and the rise of powerful private foundations on
the other shows how interlocked these phenomenons have become. As Gary Olson, professor of political science at
Moravian College in Pennsylvania, wrote recently at Common Dreams, The one thing that Big Philanthropy must overlook
is the green elephant astride the boardrooms conference table, the economic system that causes and extends [economic
and social] injustices in perpetuity.
World Market Turmoil: NZ Braces For Big Share Market Drop

January 19 2016 | From: NationalBusinessReview
Local investors and fund managers are braced for what could be the biggest drop in share prices
this year as world market turmoil continues.
Wall Street tumbled 390.9 points on Friday and is down 8.2% so far this year on concerns a further decline in the
Chinese economy and weak US shopping data in December.
US markets are closed today for the Martin Luther King Day and the three-day holiday weekend at a time of falling
international markets added to investor nervousness.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 15,988.08, the first time since August 25 that it has dropped below 16,000.
This occurred after the New Zealand market finished the week on a high at 6169 on the S&P/NZX 50 index.
Oil prices continue to fall
Elsewhere, the Chinese market is down 18%. Energy shares have led the worldwide drop, reflecting reduced demand for oil,
which has fallen below $US30 a barrel in the US.
Oil has fallen 20% this year and is off 52% from its 2015 peak. Low oil prices have resulted in a supply glut, which will be
exacerbated by the lifting of sanctions against Iran.
But it is the situation in China that has dominated thinking among market analysts. China has borrowed huge amounts to
stimulate its economy, leading to serious overcapacity in everything from factories to luxury apartments.
This has fuelled concerns of a hard landing in the Chinese economy, one of the main drivers of world economic growth.
Although the US is slowly recovering [horseshit], investors have turned their attention to how it might be affected by
overseas events.
Some say this could lead to a rerun of the 2008 global financial crisis. But others point out this was caused by heavy
indebtedness and this is no longer a feature of the US economy [more horseshit].
Household debt is well below 2007 levels, when borrowing equalled 130% of income. Today that is down to 103% as of last
years third quarter.
Further, super-low interest rates mean households are now devoting 15.3% of income to meeting debt and other financial
obligations versus 18.1% in 2007. Banks are also in a far better position to absorb losses than during the global financial
crisis. Countering this is the lack of monetary or other tools to stimulate the economy.
So investors have sought safe-haven assets, including US government bonds, which have dropped to below 2%, and gold,
which surged 1.6% on Friday to $US1091.50 an ounce.
Bankers Charged In Euro Rate-Rigging Case + Six Ex-Barclays, Deutsche Bank

Traders To Stand Trial In 2017
January 18 2016 | From: DW / Bloomberg
Nearly a dozen former top bankers have been charged with colluding to rig a key euro benchmark
borrowing rate. But almost half the defendants didn't appear in court.
A group of former bankers on Monday became the first to be formally charged with manipulating the Euro Interbank
Offered Rate (Euribor) - a daily reference rate compiled from estimates that Eurozone banks give of their cost of
borrowing.
The case involves former employees of Deutsche Bank, Barclays and Societe Generale, and includes former middle
managers, traders and rate submitters of six nationalities.
However, nearly half of the defendants were no-shows in the London court, with just six of the total 11 suspects appearing
for the preliminary hearing. A first hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.
Lawyers for the absentees, four of them German and one French, cited different reasons for their clients' nonattendance,
including ongoing investigations in Germany.
The six who did appear - Christian Bittar, Colin Bermingham, Philippe Moryoussef, Sisse Bohart, Achim Kraemer and Carlo
Palombo - were released on conditional bail. Bittar, a Singapore-based star trader who was once one of Deutsche Bank's
most profitable money markets managers, was set a bail of 1 million British pounds (1.34 million euros, $1.45 million). None
of the others was ordered to pay more than 150,000.
The case is the latest legal effort to hold accountable dozens of bankers involved in a global rate-fixing scheme, which also
involved the Euribor's British counterpart, the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). The benchmark rates are used to set
terms for $450 trillion (414 trillion euros) in securities worldwide.
Global investigations into the money-making scheme, which was first revealed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, have
so far culminated in banks and brokerages paying some $9 billion in regulatory settlements, and more than 30 individuals
being charged.
Six Ex-Barclays, Deutsche Bank Traders To Stand Trial In 2017

Trial scheduled for September 2017 by London judge Wednesday
Five other defendants in case yet to appear in U.K. court
Six defendants accused of conspiring to manipulate a key interest-rate benchmark while working at Deutsche Bank AG and
Barclays Plc will stand trial in September 2017 in a London court.
Former Deutsche Bank trader Christian Bittar and one-time colleague Achim Kraemer, as well as ex-Barclays employees
Philippe Moryoussef, Colin Bermingham, Carlo Palombo and Sisse Bohart appeared in court Wednesday in front of Judge
Nicholas Loraine-Smith. All six are scheduled to enter pleas in December.
The group is among 11 traders accused of conspiring

among themselves and with other bank employees between
Jan. 1, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2009, to "procure or make
submissions" in relation to the euro interbank offered rate
that were false, according to court documents.
They are the first to face charges globally in relation to

Euribor, the euro counterpart of the London interbank
offered rate.
A number of former traders are facing prosecution for

allegedly rigging Libor.
The other five defendants in the Euribor case worked at

Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale SA and live in
Germany and France.
They didnt appear at the first court hearing Monday to face

the charges from the U.K. Serious Fraud Office.
Loraine-Smith said the SFO must inform the court how it

Clockwise from top L-R: Kraemer, Bohart, Bermingham, Moryoussef,
would proceed with those five at a hearing in March.

Lowest Ever: The Baltic Dry Index Plunges To 394 As Global Trade Grinds To A
Standstill
January 17 2016 | From: ActivistPost
For the first time ever, the Baltic Dry Index has fallen under 400. As I write this article, it is sitting at
394. To be honest, I never even imagined that it could go this low.
Back in early August, the Baltic Dry Index was sitting at 1,222, and since then it has been on a steady decline. Of
course the Baltic Dry Index crashed hard just before the great stock market crash of 2008 too, but at this point it is
already lower than it was during that entire crisis.
This is just more evidence that global trade is grinding to a halt and that 2016 is going to be a cataclysmic year for the
global economy.
If you are not familiar with the Baltic Dry Index, here is a helpful definition from Wikipedia
The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is an economic indicator issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange. Not
restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the index provides an assessment of the price of moving the major raw
materials by sea.
Taking in 23 shipping routes measured on a timecharter basis, the index covers Handysize, Supramax, Panamax,
and Capesize dry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal, iron ore and grain."
The BDI is one of the key indicators that experts look at when they are trying to determine where the global economy is
heading. And right now, it is telling us that we are heading into a major worldwide economic downturn.
Some people try to dismiss the recent drop in the Baltic Dry Index by claiming that shipping rates are down because there is
simply too much capacity out there these days. And I dont dispute that. Without a doubt, too many vessels were built
during the boom years, and now shipbuilders are paying the price. For example, Chinese shipyards reported a 59 percent
decline in orders during the first 11 months of 2015
Total orders at Chinese shipyards tumbled 59 percent in the first 11 months of 2015, according to data
released Dec. 15 by the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry.
Builders have sought government support as excess vessel capacity drives down shipping rates and prompts
customers to cancel contracts. Zhoushan Wuzhou Ship Repairing & Building Co. last month became the first state-
owned shipbuilder to go bankrupt in a decade."
But that doesnt explain everything. The truth is that exports are way down all over the world. China, the United States,
South Korea and many other major exporting nations have all been reporting extremely dismal export numbers. Global
trade is contracting quite rapidly, and I dont see how anyone could possibly dispute that.
The global economy is a mess, but many people are not paying any attention to the economic fundamentals because they
are too busy looking at the stock market.
The stock market does not tell us how the economy is doing. If the stock market is up today that does not mean that the
economy is doing well, and if the stock market is down tomorrow that does not mean that it is doing poorly.
Yes, the health of the financial markets can greatly affect the overall economy. We saw this back in 2008. When there is a
tremendous amount of panic, that can cause a credit crunch and make it very difficult for money to flow through our
system. The end result is a rapid slowdown of economic activity, and it is something that we will be experiencing again very
soon.
But dont let the day to day fluctuations of the stock market fool you. Just because the Dow was up 227 points today does
not mean that the crisis is over. It is important to remember that stocks are not going to go down every single day.
On Thursday, the Dow didnt even regain two-thirds of what it lost on Wednesday. Even in bear markets there are up days,
and some of the biggest up days in stock market history were right in the middle of the crash of 2008.
It is critical that we take a long-term view of things and not let our vision be clouded by every tick up and down in the
financial markets. Initial jobless claims just hit their highest level in about six months, and companies like Macys and GoPro
are laying off thousands of workers. Things are already bad, and they are rapidly getting worse.
And let us not forget the great amount of financial carnage that has already happened so far this year. According to CNBC,
approximately 3.2 trillion dollars of stock market wealth was wiped out globally during the first 13 days of 2016
Almost $3.2 trillion has been wiped off the value of stocks around the world since the start of 2016, according to
calculations by a top market analyst.
It has also been the worst-ever start to a year for U.S. equities, said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at
S&P Dow Jones Indices, as both the S&P 500 and the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average have posted their
steepest losses for the first eight days trading of a year."
Over the past six months, there have now been two 10 percent corrections for U.S. stocks. The only other times we have
seen multiple corrections like this were in 1929, 2000 and 2008. If those years seem familiar to you, that is because they
should. In all three years, we witnessed historic stock market crashes.
The stunning collapse of the Baltic Dry Index is just more evidence that we have entered a global deflationary crisis. Goods
arent moving, unemployment is rising all over the planet, and commodity prices have fallen to levels that we have not seen
in over a decade.
Around the globe, there have been dramatic stock market crashes to begin the year, and we should expect to see much
more market turmoil during the weeks and months to come.
If the markets have calmed down a bit for the moment, we should be very thankful for that, because we could all use some
additional time to prepare for what is coming.
The debt-fueled standard of living that so many of us are enjoying today is just an illusion. And many of us wont even
understand what we have been taking for granted until it is taken away from us.
A great shaking is coming to the global economy, and the pain is going to be unimaginable. So let us enjoy every single day
of relative normalcy while we still can, because there arent too many of them left.
Fiat Bankers Massive Layoffs Now, Potential Bail-Ins Soon; Withdraw Bank Deposits
While You Can
January 11 2016 | From: Geopolitics / Various
The fiat banking industry continues its downward spiral as manifested by its cost cutting
measures including computerization and laying off of bank employees, but it doesnt mean that the
monster is already dead.
Aside from those mitigating measures, bank depositors are also being targeted just like what happened in Cyprus
where deposits of certain threshold amount are being skimmed literally to feed and sustain the system of interest
fraud and swindle.
The planned automation would also tie in nicely with the Bilderbergers planned technocratic dictatorship where paper based
slavery [fiat currency] is replaced with virtual currency starting this year that could easily be erased from your account at will.
This would mean that the Khazarian Mafia still has the motivation to implement their globalist ambitions, although the BRICS
are interfering on their capacity to do so at the moment.
Chinas initial financial attack in 2007 that led to the Wests economic plunge a year later can still be felt until today.
Wall Street banks are getting smaller.
Around the world, banks have been cutting down on their workforce in the face of new regulation and declining
profits, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Since 2010, the number of workers in the front office has fallen by 20 percent globally, according to a report from
Coalition Ltd. These cuts are happening across the worlds largest investment banks. For the top ten banks, the
number has fallen four percent since last year, a total loss of 2,100 workers.
This is the fourth consecutive year of a declining workforce on Wall Street, continuing a trend in which bankers and
traders are no longer on top.
Among the disappearing are bankers, traders, salespeople, and analysts. Meanwhile, banks are stocking up in
cybersecurity, IT, and compliance departments.

Half a Million Bank Jobs Have Vanished Since 2008 Crisis: Chart
Yalman Onaran Yalman_Onaran, December 31, 2015 6:00 PM HKT
Staff reductions at some of the worlds biggest banks are far from over. Deutsche Bank AG, which has held employment
close to its 2010 peak, plans to slash 26,000 positions by 2018, following a trend that began with the financial crisis.
Announced cuts in the fourth quarter total at least 47,000, following 52,000 lost jobs in the first nine months of
2015. That would bring the aggregate figure since 2008 to about 600,000.
UniCredit SpA says it will eliminate about 18,200 positions. Citigroup Inc., which has reduced its workforce by
more than a third, plans to eliminate at least 2,000 more jobs next year.

U.S. Treasury yields are below where we thought they would be a year ago as a decline in oil prices capped
inflation, Francesco Garzarelli, Goldman Sachss co-head of macro and markets research in London, wrote in a
report Wednesday. Higher policy rates in the U.S., a pickup in inflation and economic growth will propel yields
higher in 2016, Garzarelli said.
An investor would lose about 3.2 percent if Goldman Sachss yield forecast proves to be accurate, data compiled
by Bloomberg show. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are both primary dealers, the 22 firms that trade directly with
the Fed and underwrite the U.S. debt.
Yields may move up slowly, said Tony Crescenzi, a market strategist at Pimco, which has $1.47 trillion in assets
and manages the worlds biggest actively run bond fund. Ten-year yields will probably be in a range of about 2.25
percent to 2.75 percent, with the band rising from 2 percent to 2.50 percent, Crescenzi, who is based in Newport
Beach, California, said in an interview with Bloomberg Wednesday.

Why Im Closing My Bank Accounts While I Still Can
From: MoneyMorning
Not long ago I walked into a local branch of my bank the 13th largest bank in the United States based on consolidated
banking assets, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations (FDIC) second-quarter 2015 data.
I wanted to cash a check for a few thousand dollars. It was a business check made out to cash; it was my business account
and there was plenty of money in it.
What happened next was, frankly, frightening. And it has profound implications for everyone.
Thats because it means capital controls, courtesy of the government and the U.S. Federal Reserve, could be right around
the corner. Theyre already in effect in some form.
That means you might not be able to get the money you want out of an ATM. You might not be able to cash a check when
you have plenty of money in your account. Or worse your bank could take your deposited cash and convert it to shares of
stock in that bank.
In other words, if you think youll always be able to get your money out of your bank, youre wrong.
Heres what happened
It Started Innocently Enough

When I went to cash the check, a routine activity that must happen millions of times every day in the United States, the
woman behind the big, thick glass partition said:
"Im sorry. I cant cash this for you.
Pardon me, I said. What do you mean you cant cash that?
She replied matter-of-factly, I dont know you.
You dont know me because youre new here, I replied. Please get the branch manager, I requested politely.
Ill call her, but youll have to fill out this form, she told me as she reached into a drawer under the counter.
Just then the branch manager came over to the teller inside the cage. Hi Mr. Gilani, is there a problem? she
asked.
Yes, there is a problem, I replied. Im trying to cash a check and first this young lady said she didnt know me
and couldnt cash the check, then she said Id have to fill out some forms to get my money out. Whats going on?
The manager told me there were some new rules they had to follow. She acknowledged she knew me, telling the
teller I was okay, but told me Id still have to fill out the form.
I am not filling out any form ever to take my money out of my account, I stated. Is that a federal law or is that this
banks idea of customer service?
Its just what we have to do now, the manager replied.
So I looked at her as if to say, Really? Youre not going to tell me why I have to fill out a form to take cash out of
my account?
Then I said, very calmly, Im sorry and I dont want to be a jerk but if you dont cash this check or if Im ever
asked to fill out a form again when I cash a check, Ill close all my accounts here.
I got my cash and a seriously creepy feeling.
No one has ever been able to tell me why the teller wouldnt cash my check, not even my friends who own banks. The best
answer I got was, it was a new teller and she probably didnt understand the SARs rules and figured shed better not cash
the check, in case she got in trouble.
Which begs the question, what are SARs?
They are Suspicious Activity Reports. And according to the FDICs website
A bank shall file a suspicious activity report with the appropriate federal law enforcement agencies and the
Department of the Treasury, in accordance with the forms instructions, by sending a completed suspicious activity
report to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) in the following circumstances:
Insider abuse involving any amount.
Transactions aggregating $5,000 or more where a suspect can be identified.
Transactions aggregating $25,000 or more regardless of potential suspects.

Transactions aggregating $5,000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the Bank
Secrecy Act.
Banks fill out these reports regularly. They have to.
In fact, according to a post on the well-respected ZeroHedge.com site;
Banks have minimum quotas of SARs they need to fill out and submit to the federal government.
If they dont file enough SARs, they can be fined.
They can lose their banking charter.
And yes, bank executives and directors can even be imprisoned for noncompliance.
As annoyed as I was with the difficulty of getting my money out of my account (and the teller no doubt filing a SAR on me),
at least I was able to get my money.
But that can change.
There are two scenarios where depositors could either be restricted from withdrawing their cash or have their deposits
confiscated and converted into bank stock shares. What if they replace all bank branch managers, too, so that the new ones
could say, I dont know you , so you cant cash out your own check?
Will the massive lay-offs and system automaton be able to avert an impending fiat banking collapse?
Honestly, we dont really think so, because thats the whole idea of why the BRICS Alliance are establishing their own
financial system.
A sizable number of [not just] Americans already know that the Internal Revenue Service is a private corporation based in
Puerto Rico and its collection of income taxes is grossly unconstitutional, we are wondering what keeps them from paying
taxes still.
It is our definite conclusion that the only measure that could finally slay the beast for good is the publics non-participation to
the whole fiat system charade by withdrawing their money while they can and invest on real estate, or other hard currencies.
This is the least they could do. Will these freedom loving people rise to the occasion this year?
The Swiss are already moving towards that direction
"Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money.
The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000
people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system.
limit financial speculation by requiring private banks to hold 100pc reserves against their deposits."

Financial Armageddon Approaches: U.S. Banks Have 247 Trillion Dollars Of Exposure
To Derivatives
January 7 2016 | From: TheEconomicCollapse
Did you know that there are 5 too big to fail banks in the United States that each have exposure
to derivatives contracts that is in excess of 30 trillion dollars?
Overall, the biggest U.S. banks collectively have more than 247 trillion dollars of exposure to derivatives
contracts. That is an amount of money that is more than 13 times the size of the U.S. national debt, and it is a
ticking time bomb that could set off financial Armageddon at any moment.
Comment: The sharing of this information is not intended as 'fear-porn'. What this illustrates is the situation engineered by
the Khazarian / Zionist / Luciferian Cabal that is now out of their control. Yes, there will have to be a collapse of the current
economic system to a degree; in order to remove the establishment system from its control - but it will not be the end of
everything. Please do not lose hope - all we are seeing presented here, effectively; is the scale of the absolutely insane,
engineered financial debt horse-and-pony-show that these psychopathic idiots thought would enable them to bring about
their NWO end game.
FAIL.
Globally, the notional value of all outstanding derivatives contracts is a staggering 552.9 trillion dollars according to the Bank
for International Settlements. The bankers assure us that these financial instruments are far less risky than they sound, and
that they have spread the risk around enough so that there is no way they could bring the entire system down. But that is
the thing about risk you can try to spread it around as many ways as you can, but you can never eliminate it.
And when this derivatives bubble finally implodes, there wont be enough money on the entire planet to fix it.
A lot of readers may be tempted to quit reading right now, because derivatives is a term that sounds quite
complicated. And yes, the details of these arrangements can be immensely complicated, but the concept is quite
simple. Here is a good definition of derivatives that comes from Investopedia
"A derivative is a security with a price that is dependent upon or derived from one or more underlying assets. The
derivative itself is a contract between two or more parties based upon the asset or assets. Its value is determined
by fluctuations in the underlying asset. The most common underlying assets include stocks, bonds, commodities,
currencies, interest rates and market indexes."
I like to refer to the derivatives marketplace as a form of legalized gambling. Those that are engaged in derivatives trading
are simply betting that something either will or will not happen in the future. Derivatives played a critical role in the financial
crisis of 2008, and I am fully convinced that they will take on a starring role in this new financial crisis.
And I am certainly not the only one that is concerned about the potentially destructive nature of these financial
instruments. In a letter that he once wrote to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett referred to derivatives as
financial weapons of mass destruction
"The derivatives genie is now well out of the bottle, and these instruments will almost certainly multiply in variety
and number until some event makes their toxicity clear. Central banks and governments have so far found no
effective way to control, or even monitor, the risks posed by these contracts. In my view, derivatives are
financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal."
Since the last financial crisis, the big banks in this country have become even more reckless. And that is a huge problem,
because our economy is even more dependent on them than we were the last time around. At this point, the four largest
banks in the U.S. are approximately 40 percent larger than they were back in 2008.
The five largest banks account for approximately 42 percent of all loans in this country, and the six largest banks account for
approximately 67 percent of all assets in our financial system.
So the problem of too big to fail is now bigger than ever. If those banks go under, we are all in for a world of hurt.
Yesterday, I wrote about how the Federal Reserve has implemented new rules that would limit the ability of the Fed to loan
money to these big banks during the next crisis. So if the survival of these big banks is threatened by a derivatives crisis,
the money to bail them out would probably have to come from somewhere else.
In such a scenario, could we see European-style bail-ins in this country?
Ellen Brown, one of the most fierce critics of our current financial system and the author of Web of Debt, seems to think so
"Dodd-Frank states in its preamble that it will protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts. But it does this
under Title II by imposing the losses of insolvent financial companies on their common and preferred stockholders,
debtholders, and other unsecured creditors. That includes depositors, the largest class of unsecured creditor
of any bank.
Title II is aimed at ensuring that payout to claimants is at least as much as the claimants would have received
under bankruptcy liquidation. But heres the catch: under both the Dodd Frank Act and the 2005 Bankruptcy
Act, derivative claims have super-priority over all other claims, secured and unsecured, insured and
uninsured.
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivative market (the largest market for derivatives) is made up of banks and other
highly sophisticated players such as hedge funds. OTC derivatives are the bets of these financial players against
each other. Derivative claims are considered secured because collateral is posted by the parties.
For some inexplicable reason, the hard-earned money you deposit in the bank is not considered security or
collateral. It is just a loan to the bank, and you must stand in line along with the other creditors in hopes of getting
it back."
As I mentioned yesterday, the FDIC guarantees the safety of deposits in member banks up to a certain amount. But as
Brown has pointed out, the FDIC only has somewhere around 70 billion dollars sitting around to cover bank failures.
If hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars are ultimately needed to bail out the banking system, where is that money
going to come from?
It would be difficult to overstate the threat that derivatives pose to our too big to fail banks. The following numbers come
directly from the OCCs most recent quarterly report (see Table 2), and they reveal a recklessness that is on a level that is
difficult to put into words
Citigroup
Total Assets: $1,808,356,000,000 (more than 1.8 trillion dollars)
Total Exposure To Derivatives: $53,042,993,000,000 (more than 53 trillion dollars)
JPMorgan Chase
Total Assets: $2,417,121,000,000 (about 2.4 trillion dollars)
Goldman Sachs
Total Assets: $880,607,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)

Bank Of America
Total Assets: $2,154,342,000,000 (a little bit more than 2.1 trillion dollars)
Morgan Stanley
Total Assets: $834,113,000,000 (less than a trillion dollars)
Wells Fargo
Total Assets: $1,751,265,000,000 (more than 1.7 trillion dollars)
As the real economy crumbles, major hedge funds continue to drop like flies, and we head into a new recession, there
seems to very little alarm among the general population about what is happening.
The mainstream media is assuring us that everything is under control, and they are running front page headlines such as
this one during the holiday season: Kylie Jenner shows off her red-hot, new tattoo.
But underneath the surface, trouble is brewing. A new financial crisis has already begun, and it is going to intensify as we
head into 2016. And as this new crisis unfolds, one word that you are going to want to listen for is derivatives, because
they are going to play a major role in the financial Armageddon that is rapidly approaching.
Royal Deceit? The Queen's Bank Under Investigation Over Tax Evasion
December 22 2015 | From: Sputnik
British banking has been hit with another scandal with the private arm of the taxpayer-funded
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) under investigation by German authorities over allegedly helping
wealthy customers evade paying taxes.
Coutts, also known as the Queen's Bank, as it manages the Queen's private accounts, is owned by the RBS and
exclusively open to those with significant financial funds.
Related: Dirty Dealing in Londons Biggest Banks
The RBS confirmed that the inquiry was focusing on Coutts' Swiss operations, with the investigation also looking into the
actions of current and former employees.
An RBS spokesperson said they were cooperating with the investigation, after publishing the details in its annual report.
RBS chief executive Ross McEwan says the bank will take action if anyone is found guilty of improper conduct.
"I want to be very clear, if we find any evidence of wrongdoing we will come down incredibly hard. It's just not the
type of behaviour we'll have in our organisation.
I think it is too early to pre-judge. We take situations like this, no matter how big or small, very seriously. It's the
reputation of our business and how we've acted."
The RBS is still 79 percent owned by the British government after a 45 billion bailout in 2008 and 2009.
The latest developments involving Coutts come at a time of increased public scrutiny over the actions of banks in relation
to tax evasion, with the private arm of HSBC's Swiss operations found to have helped clients evade paying taxes.
HSBC Chairman Douglas Flint and Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver fronted a panel of UK lawmakers earlier this week where
they admitted a shared responsibility for the actions of the bank's Swiss arm.
The investigation into alleged improper conduct at Coutts is still under way.
The Federal Reserve Has Lifted Interest Rates: What Does This Rate Hike Mean?
December 18 2015 | From: PaulCraigRoberts
The Federal Reserve raised the interbank borrowing rate today by one quarter of one percent or 25
basis points. Readers are asking, what does that mean?
It means that the Fed has had time to figure out that the effect of the small rate hike would essentially be zero. In
other words, the small increase in the target rate from a range of 0 to 0.25% to 0.25 to 0.50% is insufficient to set off
problems in the interest-rate derivatives market or to send stock and bond prices into decline.
Related: Rip-Off by the Federal Reserve
Prior to todays Fed announcement, the interbank borrowing rate was averaging 0.13% over the period since the beginning
of Quantitative Easing. In other words, there has not been enough demand from banks for the available liquidity to push the
rate up to the 0.25% limit.
Similarly, after todays announced rate hike, the rate might settle at 0.25%, the max of the previous rate and the bottom
range of the new rate.
Comment: Multiple sources have long warned of the signs of a monumental financial crash; Lindsay Williams'
insider told him that the derivatives crash would signal the time was close at hand. A rise in interest rates will
cause a derivatives crash...
However, the fact of the matter is that the available liquidity exceeded demand in the old rate range. The purpose of raising
interest rates is to choke off credit demand, but there was no need to choke off credit demand when the demand for credit
was only sufficient to keep the average rate in the midpoint of the old range.
This rate hike is a fraud. It is only for the idiots in the financial media who have been going on about a rate hike forever and
the need for the Fed to protect its credibility by raising interest rates.
Look at it this way. The banking system as a whole does not need to borrow as it is sitting on $2.42 trillion in excess
reserves. The negative impact of the rate hike affects only smaller banks that are lending to businesses and consumers.
If these banks find themselves fully loaned up and in need of overnight reserves to meet their reserve requirements, they will
need to borrow from a bank with excess reserves. Thus, the rate hike has the effect of making smaller banks pay higher
interest expense to the mega-banks favored by the Federal Reserve.
A different way of putting it is that the rate hike favors banks sitting on excess reserves over banks who are lending to
businesses and consumers in their community.
In other words, the rate hike just facilitates more looting by the One Percent.
The Fundamental Flaw Of Mainstream Economics

December 15 2015 | From: GoldSurvivalGuide
Hugo Salinas Price casts his eye back a few hundred years to see what is wrong with modern
mainstream economics
Bacon's thinking had a profound influence upon the development of Western civilization, because he founded what
is known as the scientific method. All the scientific advances of mankind up to the present day, are based on this
method, which is - in a few words - controlled experimentation upon things of the natural (physical) world in order
to arrive at a truth. He was the first to outline the bases of the methodology to discover physical truths.
In contrast to his way of approaching reality, we have the example of alchemy, the forerunner of chemistry. For the
alchemist, there was not a clear separation between the physical and the spiritual properties of matter.
Francis Bacon, an Englishman, was born in 1561 and died in 1626. Problems in mainstream economics begin with using Francis Bacons scientific
methodology to determine human behaviour where conscious choice is involved.
Thus, the alchemist was typically fascinated by the possibility of manipulating the spiritual properties of metals, in order to
transmute a metal of very low value, such as lead, into the metal of highest possible value, gold. Infinite riches would be the
prize for discovering that method.
The processes were mysterious and thought to be hidden in codes provided by earlier alchemists. Even the great physicist,
Sir Isaac Newton (1642 -1726) still dabbled in alchemy, while doing his enormous work in astronomy.
Sir Isaac Newton
Logicians tell us that the process of arriving at a truth through prior experimentation is inductive reasoning, where the mind
is led into the truth through experiment. If you put a fresh egg into boiling water for, say, 12 minutes, your egg will be a hard-
boiled egg.
Repeat this experiment as many times as you want, and you have a physical law: "Fresh egg boiled for 12 minutes
produces hard-boiled egg." Such is Physics.
The truth expressed by the aforementioned Law is arrived at through induction.
The huge and unquestioned successes which the world has enjoyed through the application of the scientific method
founded by Francis Bacon have led to an overvaluation of the scientific method and to its abuse.
For while this method is the correct method for the investigation of the natural world and knowledge of its characteristics,
both down to the sub-atomic level and up to the level of knowing what the landscape of Pluto looks like, it is not the only
scientific method of acquiring knowledge.
The other method of acquiring scientific knowledge is not based on prior experimentation and is not based on induction.
I do not know what to call this alternative method of acquiring scientific knowledge - perhaps an indication of the more
humble position which it enjoys, in our highly materialistic world.
However, there exist examples of this alternative method of acquiring scientific knowledge: One of them is Logic and
another is Mathematics.
Logic is not born of experience and experimentation. It is inborn in the human being. Where Bacon's scientific method
reveals truths a posteriori, that is to say, after experimentation, Logic is a priori - inborn in us, and exists in
us before experience. The same holds for Mathematics: the science of number is independent of prior experience.
The truths derived from Logic and from Mathematics are a priori, and all further truths arrived at in Logic and in Mathematics
are arrived at by an intellectual process which is different from that applied in Bacon's scientific method: they are arrived at
by deduction, and not by induction.
There is a third field in which scientific knowledge is obtained through deduction. I refer to Economics. Economics is the
study of the Logic of Human Action.
It is an a priori science, whose postulates are arrived at through a deductive process from the initial a priori truth - a truth
within each human being - that human beings act; from which we deduce that human beings choose, from which we deduce
that the human being prefers one thing to another. From which I deduce that the reader is preferring to read this article
rather than doing something else with his time. And so on and so forth.
Thus Economics is the study of conscious human behavior.
Such is the hold which Bacon's scientific method for the study of the natural world exerts upon mankind, that in our day all
"mainstream economists" are trained to study human events through the methodology of induction, which is by its nature
based on experiment.
This is highly unfortunate, for induction through experiment is logically inapplicable in the field of human events,
because controlled experiment, the foundation of Bacon's scientific method, is impossible when studying how humans
behave. Atoms have no choice, they must always behave in the same manner under similar conditions.
Planets have no choice, they follow their orbits without fail. On the other hand, human choice, whether individual or
collective, varies from instant to instant. You, the reader, have the choice to continue reading, or not, for instance.
All true Economics is based on an undeniable fact: humans act, from which we deduce another undeniable fact:
humans choose.
True Economics applies a different methodology - the methodology of deduction - to the study of human affairs; this
methodology is radically different from the methodology which is appropriate for the study of the natural world.
All the present woes, uncertainty, unjustified speculation and enrichment of a few to the detriment of whole nations, the utter
madness of ZIRP and now NIRP, the call for the banning of cash, and so on and so forth, all the anomalies which now
plague our world are due to the false methodology upon which "mainstream economics" operates.
The High Priests of the Fed and the ECB, of the Central Banks of China, of Russia, of the whole world in fact, are doing
nothing more than experimenting upon mankind. They are "Sorcerer's Apprentices" and attempt one policy after another,
hoping that the next experiment will provide the success they wish for.
They are all looking at numbers, at graphs, at percentages of change, at trend-lines, at the results of prior experiments in
past years, attempting to derive some knowledge of what they must do. But a posteriori information is useless - it only can
show what happened in the past, and not what they desperately need: scientific certainty of what they must do now to
achieve the ends which they seek.
"Mainstream Economics" functions on the basis of an inappropriate method. The inductive method cannot apply in the realm
of human affairs, where each situation, individual or collective, is unique and not repeatable; no matter how well-intentioned
"mainstream economists" may be, their methodology - induction - must fail to solve the problems they face.
In order to de-throne these impostors, it would seem advisable to undercut their presumptuous airs with the argument that
they really do not know what they are doing, because they are basing their policies on the wrong methodology and cannot
possible achieve any success. This argument attacks the very foundation upon which "Mainstream Economics" has built its
castle.
The most influential and prestigious universities of the world, such as Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, MIT, and
the London School of Economics, are all training would-be economists in the wrong methodology:
In the scientific method which is applicable to the natural world, induction through experimentation, which is,
however, utterly useless and counter-productive when applied in the realm of human behavior, where only
deduction from a priori knowledge, as taught by the New Austrian School of Economics, is the correct
methodology.
All we can expect from these young men and women who will graduate from their studies as "accredited
economists" will have to be further chaos and disorder, and further breakdown of prosperity, which will end in the
complete impoverishment of humanity.
For more on this subject and the misguided efforts of "Mainstream Economics" I refer to you Ludwig von Mises' fascinating
book, "Epstemological Problems of Economics" and to the work of Professor Antal E. Fekete, founder of the New Austrian
School of Economics, whose work can be found at www.professorfekete.com.
Hungary Kills The Rothschild Banks: Ordered To Vacate Country

November 14 2015 | From: PoliticalVelCraft
Hungary is making history of the first order along with Iceland & Russia.
Not since the 1930s in Germany has a major European country dared to escape from the clutches of the
Rothschild-controlled international banking cartels.
This is stupendous news that should encourage nationalist patriots worldwide to increase the fight for freedom from financial
tyranny.
Already in 2011, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn promised to serve justice on his socialist predecessors, who sold
the nations people into unending debt slavery under the lash of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the terrorist state
of Israel.
Those earlier administrations were riddled with Israelis in high places, to the fury of the masses, who finally elected
Orbns Fidesz party in response.
Hungarys Orban & Russias Putin
According to a report on the German-language website National Journal, Orbn has now moved to unseat the usurers
from their throne.
The popular, nationalistic prime minister told the IMF that Hungary neither wants nor needs further assistance from that
proxy of the Rothschild-owned Federal Reserve Bank.
No longer will Hungarians be forced to pay usurious interest to private, unaccountable central bankers
Instead, the Hungarian government has assumed sovereignty over its own currency and now issues money debt free, as it
is needed. The results have been nothing short of remarkable.
The nations economy, formerly staggering under deep indebtedness, has recovered rapidly and by means not seen since
Germany.
The Hungarian Economic Ministry announced that it has, thanks to a disciplined budget policy, repaid on August 12, 2013,
the remaining 2.2B owed to the IMF - well before the March 2014 due date.
Orbn declared: Hungary enjoys the trust of investors, by which is not meant the IMF, the Fed or any other tentacle of the
Rothschild financial empire. Rather, he was referring to investors who produce something in Hungary for Hungarians and
cause true economic growth.
This is not the paper prosperity of plutocratic pirates, but the sort of production that actually employs people and improves
their lives.
With Hungary now free from the shackles of servitude to debt slavers, it is no wonder that the president of the Hungarian
central bank, operated by the government for the public welfare and not private enrichment, has demanded that the IMF
close its offices in that ancient European land.
In addition, the state attorney general, echoing Icelands efforts, has brought charges against the last three previous prime
ministers because of the criminal amount of debt into which they plunged the nation.
The only step remaining, which would completely destroy the power of the banksters in Hungary, is for that country to
implement a barter system for foreign exchange, as existed in Germany under the National Socialists and exists today in the
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, or BRICS, international economic coalition.
And if the United States would follow the lead of Hungary, Americans could be freed from the usurers tyranny and likewise
hope for a return to peaceful prosperity.
The Connection Between 9/11, JFK And The Global Collateral Accounts
November 12 2015 | From: TheMindUnleashed
The purpose of this article is to shed light on some topics that have garnered considerable
attention over the years and to identify the underlying thread, that surprisingly connects them all.
With the facts that will be presented, we can move forward with hope and optimism that there are indeed great
things happening in our world and that there are those out there continuing to ensure the truth is known. Great
times for us are at hand.
On November 22nd, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, one of the most beloved and famous US presidents was assassinated
in Dallas, Texas. Though there are many theories as to who killed him, to get closer to the truth we must ask why he was
killed. In any murder investigation, the victims enemies are often looked at first. In this respect, it was well known that
Kennedy strongly opposed the military-industrial complex, which included The Federal Reserve and the C.I.A.
In a speech on April 27th, 1961 before the American Newspaper Publishers Association in New York City, Mr. Kennedy
openly stated opposition to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. He stated further opposition to
a ruthless conspiracya highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and
political operations.
Creating considerable dissent with the status quo and more specifically with The Federal Reserve and C.I.A.,
Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 into law on June 4th, 1963, which gave the president the right to issue gold-backed
currency, and completely without permission from The Federal Reserve. But where was Kennedy going to receive such
large amounts of gold to back a new Treasury note?
A Little History
In the 1930's, royal Asian families had seen that some of their gold and silver holdings in Southeast Asia were being
plundered by the Japanese and needed to do something about it. In 1938, the Chinese Kuomintang government sent 7
warships loaded with gold and silver to the US Federal Reserve for safekeeping.
In return, the Chinese were given 60 year gold bondsa subject we will return to further down. A few years later in 1944, the
infamous Bretton Woods Conference took place in which the US, France and Britain were given a 50 year mandate to
modernize and transform the world for the better. Backing this new global financial system that had just been set up was a
now estimated 2 million metric tons of gold, held by this group of royal Asian families, which is also known as the Dragon
Family.
By August 17th, 1945, President Soekarno of Indonesia had been elected M1 or Monetary Controller of this large cache of
assets, granted under United Nations Resolution MISA 81704, Operation Heavy Freedom.
These assets are better known as the Global Collateral Accounts and were originally intended to be used for the
modernization of the world through several humanitarian projects. The Dragon Family are the legitimate Depositors of these
accounts.
By 1955, it was shown that the International Monetary Fund, which was also created at Bretton Woods, was not living up to
its word and was instead serving only the interest of the banking and political elite. It was at this time that a growing alliance
began to see that these funds were being used to fuel the Cold War tension and decided to strongly oppose the shady
banking cabal.
By 1963, this alliance pooled their financial resources together to create the Green Hilton Memorial Agreement, which was
signed by John F. Kennedy and President Skoearno and was finished on November 14, 1963.
This agreement was to utilize the Global Collateral Accounts for global development and humanitarian projects (along with a
new US Treasury Note, a new supernational/international note backed by gold and would bring an end to The Federal
Reserve system and the CIA). Just 8 days later, JFK was assassinated.
The above pictures show The Green Hilton Memorial Agreement and signatures of President Soekarno and President John F. Kennedy along with
several others with listed amounts of gold-backed certificates.
A short time following Kennedys passing, President Soekarno was driven from power by way of a coup. By 1968, the Bush,
Kissinger, Rockefeller and other influential families created a fake heir to the rights of the Global Collateral Accounts. Up
until the writing of this article in November of 2015, these accounts have been illegally and fraudulently used by the central
banking system.
The 9/11 Connection
In 1998, 60 years after the Federal Reserve Board and the Chinese swapped gold for gold bonds, the Chinese requested
their gold back. After refusal from the Fed, the Chinese Kuomintang government followed with a lawsuit. The International
Court of Justice ruled that the Fed needed to return the gold, which was later agreed upon by the Fed. The first payment
was scheduled to be delivered September 12th, 2001.
Interestingly, on September 10th, 2001, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced that 2.3 trillion dollars went
missing from the Pentagon defense budget. Even more conspicuous, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, the company that was
handling the paper work for the gold to be delivered back to the Chinese, was inside One World Trade Center on floors 101-
105. All 658 of their employees were murdered on that day as the towers fell and the gold was not returned to the Chinese.
The Monaco Accords, The Trillion Dollar Lawsuit and the BRICS
In August of 2011, representatives from 57 nations (none were invited from the West) came together off the coast of
Monaco to create an alliance designed to legally take down the central banking cabal and create a new global financial
system using the Global Collateral Accounts for many development and humanitarian projects.
Neil Keenan (right) with Count Albert of the Dragon Family
Reports from Neil Keenan, who helped arrange this historic meeting and has been entrusted with protecting and restoring
the legal rights back to the Dragon Family and settling the Global Collateral Accounts for the benefit of humanity, has stated
that this Monaco meeting alliance has now swelled to 182 countries and is being spearheaded by the BRICS nations (Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa).
Neil also filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York on November 23, 2011 to the tune of over a trillion dollars
against the United Nations, the Office of International Treasury Control, Silvio Berlusconi, Ban Ki-Moon, the World Economic
Forum and several others.
For those that want proof of this lawsuit, here is a screenshot of the filed case. This comes from pacer.gov, which is used to look up filed cases. Take
a look at the plaintiff and defendants.
Since that time, Neil has withdrawn the suit (Obamas economic advisors brother became the judge and he previously had
never been a judge before) to refile in an even more effective jurisdiction and plans to do this in the very near future. This
new lawsuit will be bigger and will expose the EU, the Federal Reserve and all the parties mentioned above, plus much
more.
Neil Keenan has also filed liens and a Cease and Desist order against all twelve central banks in the U.S. and a Cease and
Desist order on behalf of the Dragon Family against names like Queen Elizabeth II, Hilary Clinton, George Herbert Walker
Bush, George W. Bush, David Rockefeller and several other well known names.

Is Our World to Be Set Free?

Is this massive alliance about to make its move on the banking and political cabal? Is Neil Keenan and his team about to
finish what JFK, President Sukarno and many others were trying to accomplish? Will the 9/11 connection to the Global
Collateral Accounts finally come to light? To these questions, Neil Keenan has a statement for the world:
JFK, Soekarno, 9-11 and everything surrounding it all boils down to one and the same groups or organizations
etc., that being what is known as the Cabal or NWO. Look no further than Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and on a
lesser scale Bushs, Netanyahus etc. We must always remember that according to these people we the goyim
are the enemy and furthermore we must understand not only are they Khazars (read Khazars and their empire) but
Satanists and clearly want us all dead.
They want the world, this planet and everything they touch. They taint everything they make, put together,
manufacture, and one way or another are taking precious seconds and minutes away from our lives. They go so
far as to poison baby food (Johnson and Johnsons most recently caught, simply stated we are sorry and will take
the toxins out of the baby food) but when caught they simply walk away leaving a path of utter destruction for many
families.
It is time we defend our families, our planet, our friends and those who will soon be life long friends. It is time to
bring our planet together as one, to fight these evil criminals disguising themselves as politicians. It is time to fight
them as they fight us and stop talking about it.
The road to the collateral accounts was initially filled with litter. From OITC (Ray Dam), OPPT (Heather Tucci),
Swiss Indo (Sino), Karen Hudes (who never did understand the collateral accounts and had never heard of the
Dragon Family when she requested my help), Red Dragon Family, World Economic Forum (Davos and Giancarlo
Bruno), the UN, and many others I have never mentioned all decided at one time or another they owned or
managed the accounts when in fact not a one ever had any of the DEPOSITORS permissions to represent said
accounts.
We took them all down and we laid them to rest but similar to a film script they often return to life and take a
second shot at things after taking a deep breath but they are all just fiction.
We are on the road to the accounts. The litter has been tossed into the garbage where it belongs and upon
completing this road the accounts will be open. The big question, even one from the Dragon Family is will I be
able to move the notes and the answer is YES! We will be able to complete this impossible task and release the
funds as initially planned for humanitarian purposes. I need a little more time to get to where we must be but we
will be there and when so, the Cabal is finished... FRODO LIVES... ha ha

The TPPA Is Worse Than We Thought: Environmental Risks, Runaway Corporate

Power, Weakened Democracy: A Total Corporate Power Grab Nightmare
November 8 2015 | From: MFAT / GlobalResearch / Various
If ratified, the TPP will sneak in SOPA-like attacks on Internet freedom, overturn protections
against Wall Street recklessness, and allow corporations to sue sovereign nations to overturn the
decisions of democratically elected officials.
The New Zealand government has released the full text of the TPP here.
And just as we thought, it's full of giveaways for big business. The TPP still has to be ratified to become law, but were
running out of time to stop it.
The TPP is a disaster for jobs, and environment and our democracy. It is the latest stage in the corporate capture
of our society, said Global Justice Now Director Nick Dearden in response to the release of the
text.
In fact, the text of the deal reveals new and expanded rights for corporations to take such legal action against governments.
Analysts say the rules will empower fossil fuel companies and other corporate giants to challenge environmental and other
regulations, and ultimately worsen climate change.
According to Global Justice Nows Dearden, the TPP is a turbo-charged NAFTA, referring to the 1994 trade deal between
Canada, Mexico, and the United States that resulted in more inequality and major job losses in the U.S.
TPP has less to do with selling more goods, than with rewriting the rules of the global economy is favor of big
business, said Dearden.
Like the North American Free Trade Agreement, 20 years ago, it will be very good for the very richest, and a
disaster for everything and everyone else.
Whats more, Wikileaks has shown that the TPP will crack down on whistleblowing and make investigative journalism even
more difficult. According to Wikileaks, the TPP text also reveals a NSA-friendly provision regarding telecommunications.
Section J, which addresses Internet Service Providers (ISPs) is one of the worst sections that impacts the openness of the
Internet, according to the digital rights group, which explained further:
This section requires Internet Service Providers to play copyright cops and assist in the enforcement of copyright takedown
requests - but it does not require countries to have a system for counter-notices, so a U.S company could order a website to
be taken down in another country, and there would be no way for the person running that website to refute their claims if,
say, it was a political criticism website using copyrighted content in a manner consistent with fair use.
Section J makes it so ISPs are not liable for any wrongdoing when they take down content - incentivizing them to err on the
side of copyright holders rather than on the side of free speech.
Public Review Is Needed.

Why Do We Allow Private Banks & Families To Control The Worlds Money?
+The Truth Is Out: "Money" Is Just An IOU, And The Banks Are Rolling In It
November 6 2015 | From: RiseEarth / TheGuardian
The masses can no longer escape the knowledge that theyre being taken for a walk down a dark
alley. The way money is created in our global society benefits the so-called elite at the expense of
the 99.9%. It doesnt have to be this way though, all we have to do is stand up and demand that it
change.
Jacob Rothschild with David Rockefeller
Money is no longer backed by anything concrete. It used to be, when it was attached to the gold standard, but for
the last several decades if you and I were to get a loan from a bank were not actually being loaned anything that
they physically have. Instead, they punch numbers into a computer, which creates new money that is placed
directly into our bank accounts.
Thats right they create new cash out of nothing. They dont get it from their vault, or borrow it from another source, they
just create it on their computer.
This begs the question: why do we allow private stakeholders, such as the banking families that control the worlds financial
and political spheres, to profit from money that was created out of thin air?
Cant we just generate new funds for the benefit of the people and direct the profits back into the community?
Apparently NO! Under their psychopathic regime! - lest they lose control -
Of course we can. If so, we could genuinely attempt to finally overcome poverty, homelessness and other socioeconomic
disadvantage. In fact, there are some places on earth that have already taken the lead in transforming the way money is
created and distributed in their society.
First of course is Iceland, who not only jailed 26 bankers for their fraudulent behavior that contributed to their economic
meltdown during the GFC, but they are also initiating massive reforms to their banking sector. Additionally, they are going
to give every citizen a share of the profit from the sale of one of their biggest banks.
Its only the beginning, but well done Iceland, youre killing it (the monetary-madness, that is).
Another example is North Dakota, who operates under a public-banking model. They have designed their state-owned bank
in a way that was essentially immune to the 2008 GFC. It has also outperformed the private banking industry in terms of
profitability.
Many matrix-media explanations focus on excess deposits or the oil boom for its success, however that is simply not true.
As explained in a Global Research article:
"To what, then, are the remarkable achievements of this lone public bank attributable? The answer is something
the privately-owned major media have tried to sweep under the rug: the public banking model is simply more
profitable and efficient than the private model.
Profits, rather than being siphoned into offshore tax havens, are recycled back into the bank, the state and the
community.
When some people hear that a system like banking can be re-designed to actually benefit society, they automatically hear
socialism, and it offends them. The reality is, the celebration of the capitalist structure and the contempt towards socialism
and communism achieves nothing. Just have a look at where capitalism has gotten us, regardless if it was taken over
by crony capitalism and socialism for the rich.
The simple fact remains that going backwards is not an option, and right now humanity is being controlled by a
monetary system that is, to put it bluntly, a joke.
We need new approaches and innovative designs to move forward to build real peace and prosperity on planet earth, so as
a collective we should make it a fundamental priority to seriously look at the available short and long term solutions that we
could potentially implement, to once and for all put an end to being ruled by the banking oligarchy.

The Truth Is Out: Money Is Just An IOU, And The Banks Are Rolling In It
The Bank of England's dose of honesty throws the theoretical basis for austerity out the window
'The central bank can print as much money as it wishes.' Photograph: Alamy 1930s, Henry Ford is supposed to
have remarked that it was a good thing that most Americans didn't know how banking really works, because if they
did, "there'd be a revolution before tomorrow morning".
Last week, something remarkable happened;
The Bank of England let the cat out of the bag. In a paper called "Money Creation in the Modern Economy", co-authored by
three economists from the Bank's Monetary Analysis Directorate, they stated outright that most common assumptions of
how banking works are simply wrong, and that the kind of populist, heterodox positions more ordinarily associated with
groups such as Occupy Wall Street are correct. In doing so, they have effectively thrown the entire theoretical basis for
austerity out of the window.
To get a sense of how radical the Bank's new position is, consider the conventional view, which continues to be the basis of
all respectable debate on public policy. People put their money in banks. Banks then lend that money out at interest - either
to consumers, or to entrepreneurs willing to invest it in some profitable enterprise.
True, the fractional reserve system does allow banks to lend out considerably more than they hold in reserve, and true, if
savings don't suffice, private banks can seek to borrow more from the central bank.
The central bank can print as much money as it wishes. But it is also careful not to print too much. In fact, we are often told
this is why independent central banks exist in the first place. If governments could print money themselves, they would
surely put out too much of it, and the resulting inflation would throw the economy into chaos.
Institutions such as the Bank of England or US Federal Reserve were created to carefully regulate the money supply to
prevent inflation. This is why they are forbidden to directly fund the government, say, by buying treasury bonds, but instead
fund private economic activity that the government merely taxes.
It's this understanding that allows us to continue to talk about money as if it were a limited resource like bauxite or
petroleum, to say "there's just not enough money" to fund social programmes, to speak of the immorality of government debt
or of public spending "crowding out" the private sector.
What the Bank of England admitted this week is that none of this is really true. To quote from its own initial summary:
"Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates
deposits"
"In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank money
'multiplied up' into more loans and deposits."
In other words, everything we know is not just wrong it's backwards.
When banks make loans, they create money. This is because money is really just an IOU.
The role of the central bank is to preside over a legal order that effectively grants banks the exclusive right to create IOUs of
a certain kind, ones that the government will recognise as legal tender by its willingness to accept them in payment of
taxes.
There's really no limit on how much banks could create, provided they can find someone willing to borrow it.
They will never get caught short, for the simple reason that borrowers do not, generally speaking, take the cash and put it
under their mattresses; ultimately, any money a bank loans out will just end up back in some bank again.
So for the banking system as a whole, every loan just becomes another deposit. What's more, insofar as banks do need to
acquire funds from the central bank, they can borrow as much as they like; all the latter really does is set the rate of interest,
the cost of money, not its quantity.
Since the beginning of the recession, the US and British central banks have reduced that cost to almost nothing.
In fact, with "quantitative easing" they've been effectively pumping as much money as they can into the banks, without
producing any inflationary effects.
Money created out of thin air - the debts you owe - your mortgage - DO NOT EXIST - and the elite 'banksters' are FUCKING YOU
What this means is that the real limit on the amount of money in circulation is not how much the central bank is willing to
lend, but how much government, firms, and ordinary citizens, are willing to borrow.
Government spending is the main driver in all this (and the paper does admit, if you read it carefully, that the central bank
does fund the government after all). So there's no question of public spending "crowding out" private investment. It's exactly
the opposite.
Why did the Bank of England suddenly admit all this? Well, one reason is because it's obviously true.
The Bank's job is to actually run the system, and of late, the system has not been running especially well. It's possible that it
decided that maintaining the fantasy-land version of economics that has proved so convenient to the rich is simply a luxury it
can no longer afford.
MORTGAGE = DEATH PLEDGE: Latin words Mort-Gage Literally Translated Mort Means (Death) Gage Means
(Pledge) Debt Slavery=Human Mortgages=Debt Till Death.
The word mortgage comes from the French mort-gage, literally death-pledge. The French peasants were
working until they died for the privilege of owning a house. Same Game! Same People! Different Time!
But politically, this is taking an enormous risk. Just consider what might happen if mortgage holders realised the money the
bank lent them is not, really, the life savings of some thrifty pensioner, but something the bank just whisked into existence
through its possession of a magic wand which we, the public, handed over to it.
Historically, the Bank of England has tended to be a bellwether, staking out seeming radical positions that ultimately become
new orthodoxies. If that's what's happening here, we might soon be in a position to learn if Henry Ford was right.
Did The All Blacks Use Stolen AIG Money To Win The Rugby World Cup?
November 6 2015 | From: DailyCommie
The short answer is yes. AIG was bailed out during the staged 2008 Global Financial Crisis with
money stolen from US tax payers - 1000s of whom ended up homeless.
$182 billion stolen in total, straight out of the pockets of struggling middle class American tax payers. Theft on a
grand scale.
Related: The AIG Bailout Scandal
A miniature Holocaust of types that ruined lives and destroyed families right across the US and even in NZ where 10s of
thousands of elderly hard working Kiwis lost their entire savings funds.
Jewish [Zionist] owned AIG took the stolen money, gave all their top Jewish executives bonuses worth 10s of millions of
dollars and then promptly showed up in New Zealand with bags of that stolen money and sponsored the NZ All Blacks.
If they had any pride at all- they would have turned down that money.
What sort of message does it send to future generations when the All Blacks take stolen money to try and win a Cup?
Is this what the NZ youth should strive for? Winning at any cost, even if it means stealing money and ruining the lives of
others?
We now have the NZ Black Caps players bribing and fixing matches- and the All Blacks using stolen money to show off their
skills.
This is what happens to the morals of a Nation that gets taken over by the Global Banking Mafia the fish starts rotting from
the head down.
"The story of American International Group explains the larger catastrophe not because this was the biggest
corporate bailout in history but because AIGs collapse and subsequent rescue involved nearly all the critical
elements, including delusion and deception.
These financial dealings are monstrously complicated, but this account focuses on something mere mortals can
understand - moral confusion in high places, and the failure of governing institutions to fulfill their obligations to the
public.

12 Days Before 08 Crash, Congress Was Secretly Told To Sell Off Their Stocks
October 31 2015 | From: ActivistPost
Earlier this month, it was reported that less than two weeks before the economic collapse of 2008,
several members of Congress took their money out of the stock market.
Many high-ranking government employees were given a heads-up about the impending market crash in secret
meetings with the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. Then they used that information to engage in
insider trading.
It was revealed that Senator Shelley Capito and her husband sold $350,000 worth of Citigroup stock at $83 per share, just
one day before the stock dropped to $64 per share. Another shady trader was Congressman Jim Moran, who had his
biggest trading day of the year days after the secret meeting, sellings stock in nearly 100 different companies.
These actions would be illegal for any American in any other circumstance, but members of Congress and high-ranking
government officials are actually exempt from insider trading laws.
Years later, a 60 Minutes investigation aired on television which highlighted the governments deep history of insider trading.
The investigation sparked outrage, prompting Congress to pass the STOCK Act which was said to hold members of the
government to the same standards as any American when it came to insider trading.
However, Congress watered down the bill and changed key elements that would hold them accountable, allowing them to
return to business as usual, and escape any consequences for their prior crimes.
In an interview during the 60 Minutes investigation, Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institute told Steve Kroft that:
Its really the way the rules have been defined. And the people who make the rules are the political class in
Washington and theyve conveniently written them in such a way that they dont apply to themselves.
These meetings were so sensitive - that they would actually confiscate cell phones and Blackberries going into
those meetings. What we know is that those meetings were held one day and literally the next day Congressman
Bachus would engage in buying stock options based on apocalyptic briefings he had the day before from the Fed
chairman and treasury secretary. I mean, talk about a stock tip, he added.
Since it was passed, the STOCK Act has been more or less worthless. Whenever a politician is accused of anything, they
are defended by other politicians and the investigation is immediately stonewalled.
For example, a former staffer for the House Ways and Means Committee, Brian Stutter was guilty of insider trading.
However, he avoided charges because House Speaker John Boehner refused to hand over the evidence, and claimed that
Sutter had legal immunity.
It seems that America operates on two different sets of laws one set for those who claim to rule us, and another for
everyone else.

What it basically boils down to is that John Key has presented his banking masters with a $477 million bonus by
giving the contract to Fletcher Construction.
Last week Christchurch rapper Trillion drew my attention to a list of shareholders in Fletcher Construction relating to the
news media writing about the old boys network finding cushy jobs for their offspring.
I thought it was time I brought out the information I was able to put together, which shows exactly how incestuous the upper
echelons of the international elite are, how connected John Key is to all this - and why we should not be surprised to see
nepotism rear its ugly head in Christchurch.
Trillion asked on his facebook page 'who owns Fletcher building' and wondered intoning my facebook page (which I thought
was very flattering) as to which of those shareholders, the majority of which were banks, John Key would have shares?
The questiong posited was: could John Key have benefited indirectly from the Christchurch earthquake rebuild and have a
possible conflict of interest in appointing Fletcher building as a lead company in rebuilding Christchurch?

Here is what I found, the shareholders of Fletcher building are according to the Companies Register:
1. NEW ZEALAND CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY LIMITED with 296215920 shares
2. JP MORGAN NOMINEES AUSTRALIA LTD with 43521538 shares
3. NATIONAL NOMINEES LIMITED with 38404045
4. RBC DEXIA INVESTOR SERVICES AUSTRALIA with 38263529 shares
5. HSBC CUSTODY NOMINEES AUSTRALIA LIMITED with 20757955 shares
6. COGENT NOMINEES PTY LTD with 11165996 shares
7. CITICORP NOMINEES PTY LIMITED with 10882102 shares
8. UBS Nominees Pty Ltd with 5391125 shares
9. CITICORP NOMINEES PTY LIMITED with 4866790 shares
10. RBC DEXIA INVESTOR SERVICES AUSTRALIA (PIIC A/C) with 4839937 shares
Bear in mind this is only the 10 biggest share holders and it might be interesting to ask for Fletcher buildings entire list of
share holders but for the purpose of this post the list above is enough.
Next I want to give you another list. The list of the biggest shareholders of Bank of America in which John Key holds a large
chunk in shares according to the government site pertaining to personal interests of Politicians.
As you see the lists share some of the names. Dont let the Australia extension fool you because technically that might
mean they are a different financial entity but in reality it just means its the same company with branches in Australia.
So lets go over the first list one by one shall we?
NEW ZEALAND CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY LIMITED with 296215920 shares

This company is none other than a branch of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and while most people still think that this is
just a benign separate entity invented to help the incompetent NZ government to manage our funds - this is of course a
branch of the Rothschild banking empire which incidentally also controls the Bank of America and the Bank of England
JP MORGAN NOMINEES AUSTRALIA LTD with 43521538 shares
In August 2007 a small news paper article appeared in the Waikato times if I remember correctly announcing that JP
Morgan Chase had opened a branch in New Zealand. They announced at the same time that they would not be open to the
wider public but would only be handling larger industrial projects.
JP Morgan is notorious for financing mountain top removal and is also a major share holder in Bank of America.
NATIONAL NOMINEES LIMITED with 38404045

National Nominees Ltd (A NAB (National Australia Bank) entity - which also has a shareholding in BNZ and itself!) is what is
commonly referred to as an Agent Bank which means it operates on behalf of other banks making this shareholder a bit of a
mysterious grey horse as it is not clear who really holds the shares and what made it even more intriguing was the fact that
their website was not accessible.
RBC DEXIA INVESTOR SERVICES AUSTRALIA with 38263529 shares and -
RBC DEXIA INVESTOR SERVICES AUSTRALIA (PIIC A/C) with 4839937 shares
Dexia is a Franco Belgian bank whose biggest trading partners are Goldman Sachs and Morgan chase. The bank received
$6 billion in the 2008 crisis and was recently the first European bank called too big to fail and was bailed out a la A.I.G and
the US banks.
HSBC CUSTODY NOMINEES AUSTRALIA LIMITED with 20757955 shares
HSBC is another fine example of banking rectitude. It is the biggest issuer of credit cards in the US were they charge loan
shark interests and they have just been convicted of scamming thousands of vulnerable old age pensioners out of their
savings on products which would mature well after their deaths.
Together with Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and Societe General they were also the biggest bank to Mohammar
Gaddafi.
COGENT NOMINEES PTY LTD with 11165996 shares
A group which also holds huge shares in Rio Tinto and Sirtex medical (about which more later)
CITICORP NOMINEES PTY LIMITED with 10882102 shares and -
CITICORP NOMINEES PTY LIMITED with 4866790 shares
Citicorp is the old name of what is after a merger now called Citigroup and the bank like Morgan chase is also one of the
biggest shareholders in Bank of America.
When John Key was part of the Foreign Exchange committee he shared that honour with James Kemp from Citigroup.
UBS Nominees Pty Ltd with 5391125 shares
Is a Branch of the Swiss bank UBS AG. This bank is also heavily exposed to the international derivatives trade. No personel
has been recorded and no profile for clients has been given. I could serve as a front for other banks and also shows up on
other corporation shareholders list indicating it could be involved in the privatisation of ACC (more on that later)
The fact that two banks hold more than 1 lot of shares could indicate that these are divided into to investor groups.
In fact it could be that all these banks just service large groups of investors with these shares as investment funds. In fact it
is more than likely.
However it must be remembered that while these investors themselves are not the bad guys as all they want is just the
biggest return on their money as they can get but that the corporations servicing these funds are bound by law to give their
investors the biggest return on their money as they can and they do so in a psychopathic manner. If you doubt this I suggest
you watch the film The Corporation.
But what has John Key has to do with this you ask?
Apart from the fact that John Key has two trusts, one of which is 'blind' (of which both could be holding shares in said
investment funds which, would be a conflict of interest) he also has quite a substantial number of shares in the Bank of
America.
The Bank of America is one of the five banks which are "too big to fail" and heavily exposed to the Derivatives trades
currently destroying the global economy.
If The Bank of America collapses John Key loses a lot of money and these banks are investing heavily in real world assets
with their soon to be worthless United States Dollars.
In order for John Key to protect his wealth he has to keep on supporting the system in which these banks operate.
Having shares in the company which does most of its restoration and rebuilding work in Christchurch, which is being given
the money by the New Zealand government to do so is one such operation.
In giving Fletcher Construction the job the National government helped John Key do just that.
In researching the names of the shareholders I also uncovered a series of PDFs and links to other companies
about which I will write at length in the coming days, connecting these same shareholders to Rio Tinto and several
Medical corporations - indicating the same conflict of interest with the coming privatisation of ACC and the mining
tsunami also coming our way.

Babylonian Money Magic & How Modern "Commercial Law" Is Based On Ancient
Babylonian Codes
October 24 2015 | From: WayOfMessiah / BibleBelievers
The modern magic of creating money out of thin air had its roots in the ancient city of Babylon,
some 600 years before the birth of Messiah. Practitioners of the craft were known historically as
money changers, as in change your money from your hand to mine.
Today, adepts in the monetary black arts go by the sanitized term banker, practicing the same evils as their
forebears with increasingly more sophisticated methods of robbing from the poor to give to the rich, a modern day
sick and twisted Robbing Hood.
The Magic of Money
Money is created in a debt-based monetary system. Money only comes into being when credit is established.
You walk into a bank, borrow $250,000 for a new Ferrari, a mark is made on the banks ledger, and VOILA! $250,000 exist
where it didnt exist before, simply by virtue of the fact you signed your name on a piece of paper promising to pay back that
sum of money.
And now, by the magic of fractional reserve banking, the fraudsters can now loan out 10 times that amount to other
unsuspecting victims. A thing of real beauty, isnt it?
Heres how it all started.
From Goldsmith to Money Maker
Back in the day, goldsmiths were an honest bunch, plying their trade like any other hardworking citizen of the realm. Having
the ability to safely store valuables, the goldsmiths vault was an obvious choice that people naturally gravitated to for
storage of their own gold and silver. It was much easier to hold a receipt than to carry around a ton of weight in gold and
silver coin. Made your pants sag. Painted a big target on your forehead for muggers and thieves, too.
Soon, the goldsmith / banker got the bright idea to suggest to the people they could just trade the paper for their everyday
purchases rather than make regular trips to the vault. Much more convenient, eh? And theres still that ever-present highway
robbery to think about. (Muahaha he chuckles in private, wringing his hands and licking his lips in gleeful anticipation).
For you see, the goldsmith turned banker had realized that by making the receipt payable to the bearer rather than to the
individual depositor, it would be readily transferable without the need for a signature. He also realized that very few
depositors ever came in at one time to demand their gold or silver.
So he began to think to himself (people hadnt learned to think to others back then), Why not take advantage of that little
fact? Why not loan out more receipts than we have gold to back them and collect the interest on them? No one will be the
wiser, nobody gets hurt, we get rich, and the world is indeed a very happy place!
And thus, Fractional Reserve Banking was born. Or spawned, considering the source. And Jezebel, the bride of Baal, the
Queen of Heaven, the Spirit of Babylon, dug her talons deeply into the hide of the worlds finance. And the world is indeed
not a very happy place because of it.
The infographic below shows that after roughly 28 times of the fractional-reserve process, the banking system has
created 9,000 dollars from the initial deposit of $1,000.
How you ask? How do we come out of Babylon? Read this short history of the money changers control of nations first, then
Ill give you a couple of clues. As my Mama used to say, if the shoe fits, wear it. If the message isnt for you, then I praise
Yah youve begun clawing your way out of the clutches of the pervasive Babylonian system.
Money Changers A Brief History
Around 50 B.C. Julius Caesar took control of the monetary system of the realm by minting coins to be used in daily
commerce. With a plentiful supply of real money, the kingdom prospered, business flourished and everyone benefited.
Everyone but the money changers that is, whose livelihood was turned upside down as their control over the nations
finance was stripped out from under them.
Their power would not lie long dormant however. They set about scheming to retake control, and Caesar was assassinated
shortly after. It wasnt long that corruption returned, taxes increased and the money supply was reduced by 90%, causing
businesses to fail, people lost homes and lands, and poverty became the norm. Sound familiar?
As an aside, the U.S. dollar has lost over 96% of its purchasing power since 1913 when the money changers (Federal
Reserve) first took control of Americas money system.
30 A.D. Yahshua stormed the Temple with righteous anger, overturning the money changers tables and whipping them
severely about the head and shoulders to run them out of the Temple, declaring make not my Fathers house an house of
merchandise. These same money changers called for His death days later.
1000 A.D. The money changers had long ago discovered that control over a fraudulent money supply not only gave them
control over the assets of the people, but in a very real way, control over the government of the people.
Heres how they learned to make money on the backs of the people with the sanction of their own government:
Lets say the goldsmith pays you, the depositor, 5% interest on gold you have deposited with him. He then charges you 5%
interest for the money, or the receipts he loans you in return. A wash, right? Well, sort of. Except he now lends out ten
times in fraudulent receipts what you have deposited with him.
You earn 5% while hes earning 50%. ON YOUR GOLD! Did I say earn? Sorry. Its theft, pure and simple.
They exacted their control by a process of easy money/tight money cycles. By making money easy to borrow, the amount of
money in circulation is increased. When the money grubbers, errchangers are satisfied enough suckers have taken the
bait, the trap is sprung.
The boom and bust cycles are all rigged:
Suddenly money supply is tightened. They make loans difficult or impossible to get which results in a decrease of money in
circulation.
The end result was that a percentage of the people would be unable to repay their loans and being unable to make new
loans, they went bankrupt, forced to sell their assets to the lenders for pennies on the dollar.
This trick is still being used to suck the financial life blood out of the people of the world to this day.
Its called by sophisticated words like boom and bust, the business cycle, inflation, recession, depression and it
keeps you and me confused and blind to their dark magic. The language has changed, but the fraud is the same as it
always has been. And the world is indeed a much less happy place for it.
1100 A.D. The reign of King Henry I brings a new form of money that stripped the money changers of their unrighteous
dominion over people and nations that lasted for over 700 years. He created a currency called a tally stick. It was a stick of
polished wood with notches cut along one side, the number of which indicated the denomination of the amount of money
represented by the stick.
It was then split lengthwise with each half bearing identical notches. One half went into circulation, the other half was kept by
the king. It made counterfeiting impossible.
The system was a huge success, as the Kings taxes were to be paid by tally stick, which increased circulation and assured
its acceptance as a legitimate form of money. It also kept the money changers from gaining control of the money supply.
Which didnt sit well with them for a very long time. And the world was indeed a much happier place. More on the money
changers in a future essay, which will deal more specifically with a certain Mr. Amschel Mayer Bauer and his progeny.
Meanwhile, back to the question of How To Come Out Of Babylon. Very simply in the words of our old friend Kaye Large
- ADMIT IT AND QUIT IT! You certainly cant Come out of Babylon if you dont admit youre in it!
Christmas and Easter are so obviously Babylonian in their historical roots that it astounds me so many Christians continue
to celebrate them. Everyone has the internet these days. Do a search for the pagan roots of both of these holidays.
Deu 12:30-32 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,
after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after
their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do
likewise.
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the
LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and
their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.
It was on the basis of this passage that I and my family turned from celebrating
these holidays more than twenty five years ago. I say this in love, especially to
those of my friends who have known me since then.
For the sake of yourselves, your children, the God you say you want to please,
let His Word speak to you and then do as He says!
Modern "Commercial Law" Is Based On Ancient Babylonian Codes

A Historical Research Article Linking the "Slave-Trading Codes" of Ancient Babylon to the Modern
Laws of "Commerce", "Equity", and Civil/Municipal Jurisdictions.
Meyer Amschel Rothschild said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes
its laws . . . enforced unemployment and hunger, imposed on the masses because of the power we have to create
shortages of food, will create the RIGHT of Capital to rule more surely than it was given to the real aristocracy."
A new union between Babylonian religions, Babylonian banking and Babylonian law is returning the world to serfdom.
When the Romans Conquered the Nation of Israel, shortly before the time of Jesus Christ or Yeshuah Messiah; they set-up
a "Puppet Regime" in Israel, so-as-to more effectively Mask the harsh reality that the Israelites were a Conquered People.
And because "Law" was frequently administered by a "Priesthood" in these ancient cultures, a group of priests known as
"Pharisees" thereunder Combined with the Romans to Deceive, Confuse, Plunder, and En-Slave the common Israelite
People.
And because Christ / Messiah Jesus / Yeshuah was a Threat to that Oppressive / Despotic system; both factions of these
over-lapping "special-interest-groups" Conspired to have Jesus / Yeshuah Nailed to the Cross / Stake.
The Pharisees were Direct Participants in this Lawless Conspiracy to Murder this Innocent Man; even tho is seems that it
was Roman Soldiers who actually completed the execution.
These same Pharisees base their entire Religious Belief-System upon a body of Laws which is Not from the Ancient Jewish
/ Israelite Laws, which reach back to the teachings of Moses. Rather these Pharisees look to a body of so-called "Laws"
which derive from "Slave-Trading Codes" in Ancient Babylon; and quite probably reaching back to Nimrod himself.
The fact that the religion of the Pharisees has never been recorded as having become extinct, indicates that they and their
Slave-Trading practices continue on to exist to this very day. In their own literature, the modern practitioners of "Rabbinical
Judaism" Admit (quietly) that they are decedents from those ancient Pharisees.
In their own book entitled "The Jewish Encyclopedia", and "prepared by more than Four Hundred Scholars and Specialists",
and published by the "Funk and Wagnalls Company", in 1905, Page 665; the following text is presented:
"With the destruction of the Temple, the Sadducees disappeared all together, leaving the regulation of all Jewish
affairs in the hands of the Pharisees.
Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees, the whole history of Judaism was re-
constructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new
chain of tradition supplanted the older, priestly tradition (Abot i. 1).
Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future."
Here is shown clearly that the ancient Pharisees are still alive and well writing textbooks for Funk and Wagnals in 1905, and
disseminating such beliefs among their followers.
The ancient counterparts of these modern Pharisees had schools in Babylon from a very early pre-Christian date. We may
read concerning these matters from a scholarly work entitled "The Babylonian Talmud", by Sedner Nezikin, London; The
Soncino Press, 1935.
In the Foreword to this book is an introductory few pages by (The Very Rev. The Chief Rabbi) J.H. Hertz. Herein he speaks
on pages 13, 14, 15 to say:
"The beginnings of Talmudic literature date back to the time of the Babylonian Exile in the sixth pre-Christian
century . . . When a thousand years later, the Babylonian Talmud assumed final codified form in the year 500 of
the Christian era, the Western Roman Empire had ceased to be. . .
When we come to the Babylonian Gerama, we are dealing with what most people understand when they speak or
write of the Talmud. It's birthplace, Babylonia, was a autonomous Jewish center for a longer period than any other
land, namely, soon after 586 before the Christian era to the year 1040 after the Christian era - 1,626 years . . . "
"For a long time it was held that the language in which the Babylonian Talmud was written defied grammatical
formulation. This is now seen to be nothing but prejudice. . ."
"The style of the Babylonian Talmud is one of most pregnant brevity and succinctness. It is at no time "easy
reading". Elliptical expression is a constantly reoccurring feature, and whole sentences are often indicated by as
single word. In discussions, question and answer are closely interwoven, and there is an entire absence of
demarcation between them.
"Hard thinking and closest attention are required under the personal guidance of an experienced scholar, or of an
elaborate written exposition of the argument, for the discussion to be followed or to be understood. And that
understanding cannot be gained by the aid of Grammar or Lexicon alone.
Even a student who has fair knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic, but who has not been initiated into the Talmud by
Traditional Jewish guides, will find it impossible to decipher a page!"
Here we have plain admissions from this J.H. Hertz (Chief Rabbi) wherein he reveals that the source of the material which is
Codified within their "Talmud" is from "Babylon". Other sources affirm this also.
This "Babylonian Talmud" is that root-source-repository of so-called "Law" from which the modern Talmud draws its
historical roots. J.H. Hertz (Chief Rabbi) and others of the same belief are all quite comfortable referring to it amongst
themselves as the "Babylonian Talmud".
But as the ancient city of Babylon is clearly related to terms such as "Babble" aka: "Confusion", and as ancient Biblical texts
indicate plainly that this is the source for all of the language confusion and much other problems which has spread
throughout the entire world, it is understandable that these ones do seek to downplay the fact that "Babylon" is the spiritual
source/center for Their body of "Spiritual-Law Codifications".
We here-in merely seek clear labels of what is going on with regard to this body of codifications which seemingly so
significantly affect our modern sociological structures. We have a Right to ask these questions.
Everyone is affected by these concerns. And it seems clear that many who modernly claim to be "Jews" are following this
set of Spiritual Codifications which have originated in ancient Babylon, and which thereunder are properly known and
referable to as the "Babylonian Talmud".
We find similarly enlightening source material in a profoundly insightful work from a gentleman named Guy Carlton, Lee; of
Johns Hopkins University in his work: "Historical Jurisprudence", 1922; Pages 12, 17, 18, 38-40, 188-189:
"The law of Babylonia has had an immense effect upon that of nearly all the countries of Europe . . . The literature
of Babylon has perished; but the element of culture which has endured was greater than the literature. That
element is law, an organized intelligible system of rights and duties enforced by the State. . .
The great work of the nation was the production of a system of law, necessary to the extended commercial activity
of the city . . . The complex Babylonian civilization, which produced a commercial law in advance of any other
ancient system . . . was . . . the product of . . . its relations to the other countries of the world.
The exercise of judicial functions, at least in matters of commercial law, seems to have been in the hands of the
hierarchy. The reasons for this may have been in part those which, in the mediaeval period of European history,
threw the control of legal procedure largely into the hands of the ecclesiastics. In Babylon, the custom of
documentary evidence in almost all transactions . . .
and the wide extent to which written contracts were employed, made the notarial and judicial functions of the
priests very extensive. But the part taken in business transactions by the priesthood was appropriate for another
reason, which perhaps had more influence in the time of the early law, before the purely commercial side had been
developed.
This was the part which was connected with contractual oaths, which at first were numerous. The contracting
parties were obliged in their contracts to swear by the principal god of the country, and by the reigning prince, that
they would abide by the conditions of the contract . . ."
The Babylonian Law developed to the fullest extent the idea of a Contract. Almost any possible business
transaction was reduced to the form of a contract and was executed with the same formalities - i.e., with witnesses,
notary, and signature. Thus the points as to deeds, sales, mortgages, loans, and banking are in no respect
different in form from the matter of hiring, rent and leases, partnership, testaments, and domestic relations,
including adoption.
Transactions so very different could be reduced to the same principle, or brought under the one head, only by a
highly abstract conception of contract itself. From forms of contract . . . we pass to the relations of master and
servant, leases, and future delivery of goods.
Sub-section A. Master and Servant. . . a man might well make a contract with another whom he hired for a year, or
whom he contracted to serve for a year. . . example . . . In connection with this contract, it should be noted that
Ubarru was regarded as a free agent, hiring himself out. But since he enters into a relation to his master in which
he is temporarily in the condition of a slave, he has a representative, or guardian . . .
. . . In the case of a slave the name of the slave's father is never given. The slave is not regarded or spoken of as a
man, but as a thing, and is reckoned in the same way as cattle. The actual point of this contract is the transfer of
the right to a man's services. Such a transaction is but a part of the whole Babylonian system, whereby every
credit or right was passed from one to another by means of contracts. . .
The law was very strict as to the beginning and termination of these contracts. . . If the servant did not appear, he
could be arrested and brought to his master, as he was his master's man. ...
This species of . . . slavery was of great importance and very customary in Old Babylon.
Babylon('s) . . . commercial customs . . . became . . . the commercial law of the whole known world. Of . . . these
Rome was . . . possessed from the earliest period . . . "
Here-under, we see a number of significant items for our study. But at this point it seems best to re-visit Chapters 17 and 18
of the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Here in is Revealed that a particular Body of People are recognizable as a "Great
Prostitute" who "Rules over the Kings of the Earth" through the use of "Deception", "Magic", and "Merchants". This "Great
Prostitute" who uses Deceptive Magic is clearly labeled therein as "BABYLON".
The above work from Johns Hopkins University by Mr Lee clearly recognizes that Babylon's Religious Priesthood is
commonly recognizable as the source of all of the modern so called "Laws of Commerce".
These "Laws of Commerce" are shown to be a specific body of Codes which authorize the Administration of the Compelling
Force of the State in the En-Force-ment of Contracts, mostly for Payments of Debts.
The ancient Babylonian Priests were involved because Contracts were deemed to be a form of "Oath" entered into by the
contracting parties; and the approval of their Gods were invoked so as to more effectively legitimize / bamboozle the entire
process in the minds and the consciences of the contracting parties and all public witnesses.
These Babylonian Religious Codes recognized the ability to buy and sell contracts between merchants in "Commerce".
They sold and "bought . . . slaves and the souls of men" in the time of Christ, and before and after, just precisely as is
recognized in Revelation 18: 11-13.
Under this system of Babylonian Codes, contracted-debtor-people were Forcibly Compelled to perform the contract
regardless of Conscionability, or who was the original contract-creditor. This Babylonian Religious Commercial-Code
depended in large part on a deeper set of Slave-Trading Codes. And these all are still recognizable and very frequently
enforced under what modern legal text-books refer to as: "Master-Servant Relationships".
Under the ancient Babylonian Religious Codes, "Slavery" is clearly facilitated. People were not recognized as
People there-under, but were items in Commerce.
The Slave could be arrested and assaulted by government officers for not showing up for work on time. The text-book says
that "The slave is not regarded or spoken of as a man, but as a thing, and is reckoned in the same way as cattle".
Not too long ago, in American History, "Slavery" was a very Common Practice, both against the Black Race, and also
against all other races, including Orientals and the economically disenfranchised Caucasian / White Race. The Problem of
"Oppression" is Not a Race Problem, it is a Economic-Class and Religious Problem.
In the above quoted text, and with reference to these ancient Babylonian-based "Slave-Trading" Codes; Mr Lee goes on to
make it clear they were passed down to the Roman Slave-Traders in his statement "Of . . . these Rome was . . . possessed
from the earliest period . . . ".
History seems to tell that many Israelites had been Captured into Slavery in Babylon. Yet by the time of Jesus / Yeshuah,
many had returned. During that Captivity; many of the Babylonian Commercial / Slave-Trader / Merchant Codes seemed to
have Infected Israelite-Society. It does not take a lot of intelligence to suppose that this worked to Under-Mine the Godly
Principles of the more ancient Israelite Torah-Laws.
Yet the "Pharisees" Openly Embraced this Babylonian System of Slave-Trading Codes. Christ / Messiah Jesus / Yeshuah
and his followers were Crucified for speaking-out boldly against these Evils of the Romans and their False-Israelite Pharisee
Puppet-drones. As revealed above, the Romans were already followers of those same Babylonian Slave-Trading Codes.
This indicates that the Connection between the Roman Slave-Traders and the Pharisees was more than a mere
coincidence. This indicates that at some point in the even more ancient history; the Roman Slave-Traders and the Pharisee
of Israel; were of Common Cultural Ancestry.
As the name signifies, the "Babylonian Talmud" contains much of the Commercial Slave-Trading Mercantile Codifications of
"Master-Servant Relationships" which originated in Babylon.
Those of the "Pharisee" (Rabbinical-Judaism) belief-system, refer in their "Babylonian Talmud" to those who are Not of their
culture; as "Goim" or "Gois".
These words translate to mean "Human Cattle".
This is precisely how historical textbooks indicate that the ancient Babylonians referred to their Slaves. As Mr Lee stated in
his above quoted text, "The slave is . . . reckoned in the same way as cattle".
Though the "Babylonian Talmud" seems to contain few direct citations to Slavery itself, it does set forth a significant amount
of evidence showing that Non-Pharisees "Goim" are to be treated with all of the contempt of "Slaves". Citations from the
"Babylonian Talmud" read:
"All things pertaining to the Goim are like desert, the first person to come along and take them can claim them for
his own." Babha Bathra 45.
"It is permitted to deceive a goi." Babha Kama 113b.
And though citations are not clear that this is directly from the Talmud, other Pharisaical Literature states:
"The Life of a Goi and all his physical powers belong to a Jew." A. Rohl. Die Polem. P.20
And articles published by Henry Ford's newspaper, the Dearborn Independent in 1920 - 1922 discuss the "Kol Nidre" as a
Pharisaical:
"Prayer, named from its opening words, "All vows"," (kol nidre). It is based on the declaration of the Talmud: "He
who wishes that his vows and oaths shall have no value, stand up at the beginning of the year and say: 'All vows
which I shall make during the year shall be of no value.'""
The list goes on and on. The Historical Documentation is Massive of the Malicious Plunder-Oriented Slave-Trading Behavior
of these people. Coke and others have defined them as "Infidels", precisely Because History has clearly Shown that the
Sworn "Oath" of those ones Means Nothing to them.
They cannot be "Bound" by "Conscience", and they habitually "Lie" at every turn which may serve their own self-serving
interests or those of their "Synagogue of Satan", as referred to by Christ Jesus at Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. This is the nature
of their "Law", They Believe they have a God-Given Right to be "Slave-Masters".
They can-not be expected to be bound to tell the Truth. They feel that they are En-Titled by the Authority of their Evil God to
Lie to others, so-as-to Control Them and there-by to reduce them to their unsuspecting Slaves.
Such "Infidels" were Expelled from almost every country in Europe between the 13th and 15th centuries for this precise
Reason. Their tenacious adherence to this Dis-Honest Babylonian Master-Slave system of Human Conduct Codes, and
their relentless Lying and Deception was the Direct Cause of their Ostracism from All of these European Nations.
The Sadducees apparently gave the Pharisees opposition against this corrupting influence, but their days were numbered,
for after the destruction of the Temple by Rome in 70 AD, the religious belief system of the Sadducees had apparently met
genocide and extinction.
The Pharisees (on the other hand) were conspicuously left in the position of authority over all Jews who did not profess
Christianity. The ancient Religion of the Pharisees has been in Continuous Total Control of what is fashionably recognized
as the "Jewish Religion", ever since the destruction of Solomon's Temple. Again quoted, but more focused and brief than
above, it reads:
"With the destruction of there Temple . . . Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees .
. . Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future." The Jewish
Encyclopedia: (1905; Page 665)
With the extinction of the Sadducees, the only Jewish entity which thereafter stood in opposition to the Pharisees and their
Babylonian Codified Talmud were the Christians. The powers in Rome itself were Compromised by this influence. As
revealed else-where here-in, the Religion of the Pharisees continues to this day under their self-proclaimed banner of
"Judaism" or "Jews".
These people are Not True "Jews". Nor are they Racial "Semites", or "Israelites", or even "Zionists". Rather they are of the
"Synagogue of Satan", and they merely "Say they are Jews"; all precisely as Jesus/Yeshuah is declared to have clearly
started in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.
These modern Pharisees merely proclaim they are "Jews"out of a Strategy to effect their Ancient Plunder-Oriented Slave-
Trading purpose. Approximately 85% of them are not even of the "Semitic" bloodline, but rather are of the Ashkenazi /
Khazar Race / Bloodline.
They seem to have adopted the Pharisaical-Babylonian Talmudian Religion in about the year 740 or so, out of convenience.
They know they are Not True Semitic / Israelites; yet they scream "Anti-Semite" with spine-chilling fervor when-ever anyone
seeks to hold them to accountability for their crimes.
Multitudes of such Honorable Americans as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Henry Ford; have all Documented
their Culturally Evil-Agenda in great detail.
George Washington
Modern "Rabbinical Judaism" is the Religious Descendant of those very same Pharisees, and they all look to the same
"Babylonian Talmud" Code of "Master / Slave Laws" as the Primary Written "Code of Conduct" for their lives.
The preponderance of Ashkenazi / Khazars who serve this modern dso-called "Religion" of "Rabbinical Judaism" (with its
talmudian codifications designed to support slave-trading), all indicate to this author that the underlying Conflict between the
True Nation of Israel (aka: the "True "Jews" (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9), and these Ashkenazi/Khazars, reaches back way
Further than their professed "Conversion to Judaism" in the year 740-ad or so.

I am inclined to believe they are "Canaanites", in large part from the very obviously similar phonetics of their names. I also
tend to believe this proposition because of the historically documented Evils of the Canaanite peoples. And I think those
likely reach-back even further to "Cain"; the legendary son of "Adam", who allegedly first slew his brother "Abel".
. . . I feel it is undeniable that these very powerfully-intense forms of Evil still walk this earth, with every bit of acidic-venom of
those other very ancient, evil, and suspiciously similarly-named cultures. [Overwhelmingly supported by such
anthropologists as Ripley, Weissenberg, Hertz, Boas, Mead and Fishberg, Arthur Koestler's The Thirteenth Tribe proves the
vast majority of today's Jews are descendants of the Khazars of South Russia as do the Scripture, encyclopaedias, and
scores of historians.]
"Civil-Law" and "Municipal-Law" and Their History
Textbooks show plainly that Rome is the source of English and American "Civil Law". Civil Law is recognized in Black's Law
Dictionary as synonymous with "Municipal Law"; as follows:
Civil Law: That body of law which every particular nation, commonwealth, or city has established
peculiarly for itself; more properly called "municipal" law, to distinguish it from the "law of nature", and
from international law. Laws concerned with civil or private rights and remedies, as contrasted with
criminal laws.
Rome is well recognizable as an Aggressively Warring and Conquering nation. A reputable Textbook of History
entitled "Apollo, History of Rome" by Cyril E. Robinson (1956), on pages 26 and 27 reads:
"Many factors contributed to (Rome's) success; but more important than her military powers, were the political
methods where by she contrived to . . . conquer. . . In 381, after overcoming the . . . town of Tusculm, she . . .
admitted it to terms . . . (under which it was) compelled to pay the war-tax, and . . . a town thus treated was known
as a muni-cipum or "burden-holder".
Many of the peoples conquered by Rome were reduced to Slaves. No reputable historian contests this fact. Webster's New
International Dictionary (1950, 2nd Edition) links the above term "Municipum" to our modern term "Municipal"; as follows:
Municipal: . . . munia official duties + root capere to take. . . . Rom. Hist. Of or pertaining to, or of the nature
of, a municipum.
It further goes on to make the following most note-worthy statement:

Municipal District: A subdivision of a region inhabited chiefly by non-Christians.
The Roman merchants engaged in much Slave Trade. The establishment of "Slave-Markets" was one of their top priorities.
Contracts Exchanged hands among Merchants for the Delivery of Slaves. The Codes which Governed these Contracts for
Slaves was based on the Same Codes which the Babylonians had developed.
"Of . . . these Rome was . . . possessed from the earliest period . . . ". ("Historical Jurisprudence" - Lee, above).
Such Babylonian Master/Slave so-called "Law" is modernly still recognizable under either term of "Civil" or "Municipal" Law.
[Rome is the Seven-Headed "Beast" described in Revelation.
The "Great Prostitute" there-in described as sitting on or controlling the "Seven-Headed Beast" of the Roman Empire which
has gathered within itself all the power and evil of the previous three Gentile world powers, is the Roman Catholic church.]
This Beast was in existence at that time of Christ as the Civil / Military Government of Rome. . .
The Norman Conquest of England in 1066-ad
The Norman Conquest over the Anglo-Saxon / Celtic People of England in 1066 is vastly under-rated in its significance for
understanding modern models of good government.
From Rome, the "Norman Invasion" had the "Solemn Blessings of the Pope". This is shown in many citations, among which
is the following:
"William had some difficulty in securing the help of his barons for his proposed invasion of England; it was
necessary to convince them individually by threats and persuasions.
Otherwise conditions were favorable. William secured the benevolent neutrality of the emperor Henry IV., and the
expedition had the solemn approval of Pope Alexander II." Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol # 23, p.609; William 1: . . .
Conquest of England . ..
The Pharisaical system of "Commercial Law", as codified in the "Babylonian Talmud"; was at that time Forcibly Imposed by
the Romanistic-Normans over the previously Non-Romanized Christian / Common-Law Saxon-Anglo / English People.
This is shown as follows:
"The Jews, whom the Normans brought to England . . . [or who financed and followed the invasion - Ed.] brought a
refined system of commercial law: their own form of commerce and a system of rules to facilitate and govern it.
. . Several elements of historical Jewish legal practice have been integrated into the English legal system. Notable
among these is the written credit agreement - shetar, or starr, as it appears in English documents.
The basis of the shetar, or "Jewish Gage," was a lien on all property (including realty) that has been traced as a
source of the modern mortgage. Under Jewish law, the shetar permitted a creditor to proceed against all the goods
and land of the defaulting debtor. . .
Jewish law that debts could be recovered against a loan secured by "all property, movable and immovable" was a
weapon of socio-economic change that tore the fabric of feudal society and established the power of liquid wealth
in place of land holding. . . .
Jewish Law, wherein personal debt superseded rights in real property had become the law of the land." "Foootnote
11: H.C. Richardson, The English Jewry Under Angevin Kings 94 (1960) (Jews liquidation of land obligations broke
down rigidity of feudal land tenure and facilitated transfer of land to new capitalist class). Footnote 15: CF. 1 F.
Pollock and F.W. Maitland, supra note 3 at 469... (alien to English law for creditor not in possession of land to have
rights in it)."
"The Shetar's Effect on English Law", The Georgetown Law Journal; V. 71, P 1179 - 1200); Judith A. Shapiro.
Here-under; the Pharisees worked with the Normans under the "Blessing of the Pope" of Rome. Here-under,
Roman Civil/Municipal Codes were Forcibly Imposed over the Non-Romanized Christian/Common-Law People of
England. As this Pharisee/Roman-Catholic Military Machine was Forcibly-Imposed, the above text makes clear
(seemingly happily) that a "Weapon of Socio-Economic Change that Tore the Fabric" of the Society of the Anglo-
Saxon/Celtic Peoples.
These ruthlessly shocking words are not composed by this author; but they are the words chosen by Ms Shapirro
as they appear in her Georgetown Law Journal article.
It seems that the aggressively warring nature of that Babylonian-Talmudian based Code of Pharisaical Conduct is
not in question among that circle of scholars. It seems to clearly be a body of Master's Slave-Trading Codes, which
are designed to "Tear at the Fabric" of any Society which it targets.
[The invading Jews established the Exchequer - Ed.].
The "Shetar" is a corruption of the word "Star", and it refers to the infamously abusive "Star Chamber Courts". This is shown
in the following citations:
"The name star chamber . . . has been thought to be . . . because the roof was originally studded with stars,
because the Jewish covenants (called starrs or stars . . . ) were originally kept there." Bovier's Law Dictionary;
1860.
"Starr or starra. The old term for contract or obligation among the Jews, being a corruption from the Hebrew word
"shetar", a covenant, . . . and Blackstone conjectures that the room in which the chests were kept was thence
called the "Star-Chamber"."
"Star Chamber: A court which originally had jurisdiction in cases where the ordinary course of justice was so much
obstructed by one party, . . . that no inferior court would find its process obeyed. . .
In the reign of Henry the 8th, and his successors, the jurisdiction of the court was illegally extended to such a
degree (especially in punishing the kings arbitrary proclamations) that it became odious to the nation, and was
abolished." Blacks Law Dictionary, 5th Edition
These courts of Pharisaical Commercial Master/Slave Codes became so heinous for their "Secret Proceedings" and for their
infliction of "Cruel and Unusual Punishments", that they were abolished. They are the essence of our modern
Anglo/American so-called "Equity" Jurisdiction.
It was all run by "Chancery Priests", and they were referred to deceptively as "Courts of Equity". The only thing "Equal"
about them, is that all Conquered "Slaves" there-under were treated as "Equal-Slaves".
"Courts of Chancery" is the more honest name which they also frequently used, because a great "Chance" was being taken
if a man were forced to go before them. The linkage between "Equity Jurisdiction" and Romanistic "Civil / Municipal Law", is
shown in the following:
"The whole of equity jurisprudence prevailing in England and the United States is mainly based on the civil
law". Boviers Law Dictionary; 1868.
"Civil Law" is from Rome. There was no "Equity Jurisprudence" in England prior to the Norman Conquest.
The Norman Conquest had the "solemn approval of the Pope" of Rome according to the above-quoted Encyclopedia
Britannica, and many other sources.
The battle of Hastings
The obvious Conclusion is that the Norman's "War of Aggression" was jointly backed by the Pharisees and the Pope of
Rome, all so as to Forcibly Impose the Roman Civil/Municipal Codes of Babylonian-Talmudian based Master / Slave
relations. These were mere Tools for Slave Control which were early Imposed by Evil Men with great influence with-in the
Pharisaical and Roman-Catholic religious communities.
All Conscience-Bound People will Recognize that No True Spirituality could Possibly have been brought in-to England at
that time. The "Forces of Evil" Were In "Full Control" during the so-called "Norman Conquest". Just like at the Crusades; and
at the Inquisition. The religious forces consistently behind these movements have a very consistently-evil track-record.
Evil men Aggressively made Religious War against the Christian / Common-Law - Anglo-Saxon / Celtic Peoples of England
in 1066. The "Babylonian-Talmud" was completed well before the Norman Conquest of 1066. It's all the same basic Master /
Slave Commerce form of Code of Human Conduct.
It all treats living / breathing People as "Merchandise" in Commerce to be bought and sold as those "Slaves and the Souls of
Men" as referred to in Revelation 18:13.
This entire body of Codified Human-Conduct is all so amorally lacking in fidelity to the Supreme Laws of "Love of Neighbor"
from YHVH, as taught by His Son Yeshuah; as to be clearly a policy of the "Synagogue of Satan" as referred to at
Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.
It is easy to summarize that this is that precise same Code of Human Conduct of which the Pharisee "Money-Changers"
were using to corrupt the Temple in Jerusalem, and of which Christ / Messiah Jesus / Yeshuah over-turned their tables and
drove them out of His Father's House with the whip.
It is easy to summarize that this is the Code of Conduct upon which the Pharisees moved to whipp-up the mob into such a
fervent state of Anarchy as to abort "Due Process of Law" and to have Yeshua the Christ/Mesiah Lawlessly Nailed to the
Cross / Stake.
Modern Applications of Ancient Babylonian Slave-Trading Codes:

This Code of Conduct embodied within the "Babylonian Talmud" is very large, but it contains specific portions which are
designed to "Tear at the Fabric" of the society which is its target. These are the words of Ms Shapirro, as set forth in
the Georgetown Law Journal. This is not the wording of "Anti-Semitic Right Wing Extremists". Ms Shapiro's term "Tear" is
specifically used to denote that process which obliterated the "Fabric of . . . Society", as it had existed prior to that War of
Aggression.
It would seem Reasonable to conclude that this is a "Code of Human Conduct" based on "Terrorism". Certainly the word
"Tear" seems related to "Terrorism". Certainly the Anglo-Saxon / Celtic Christian People were greatly Fear Inspired by the
forcible imposition of this "Babylonian Talmud" based Code of Human Conduct.
The wording of Ms Shapirro Reasonably seems to be an acknowledgment that "Terrorism" was used by the Normans and
the Pharisees "who call themselves Jews" as a "matter of Policy" under that Code of Human Conduct; all known as the
"Babylonian Talmud".
This entire body of Roman "Civil-Law" is Designed to Centralize the "Decision-Making Authority" of the Entire Community in-
to the Hands of a "Single Arbitrator".
This is How All "Contracts" were En-Forced in the "Court of Equity". It was early incorporated into what was known as
English "Law Merchant", which many fine scholars have confused as being a true part of the English "Common-Law". Such
happened only after the corrupting influence of the "Norman Conquest".
Contracts are only enforceable in Courts of so-called "Equity".

"Equity" jurisdiction was allowed to enter into American Jurisprudence by way of Article 3 Section 2-1 of the so-called "U.S.
Constitution". Such was a slap in the face of Christ / Messiah Jesus / Yeshuah, and much Evil has worked its purpose in this
land by way of that compromise of Godly Principles.
How-ever, in the USA at the Federal Level and most (probably all) State Levels; there are Protections in place against
Summary Equity / Chancery Slave-Trader Jurisdictions being imposed over American People.
These Protections are available through Constitutional, Statutory, and Case-Law Precedent Provisions. A full explanation of
these protections is not presented here; but in another study / document by this same author which is centered around the
so-called "US Supreme Court"'s Case-Law Precedent of "Beacon Theaters v Westover".
Here-by; the "Equity" Jurisdiction is Purged from All of its Lawful Authority to adjudicate anything; If a proper "Due Process
of Law" is invoked.
By presenting a "Counter-Complaint", which there-by super-cedes and over-rides what is there-by recognized as
the constitutionally antagonistic "Equity" Jurisdiction; this modern essence of "Law" allows the people to Free
Them-Selves from the Babylonian Master / Slave-Traders Jurisdiction of so-called "Equity".
Meet The Hedge Funders And Billionaires Who Pillage Under The Shield Of
Philanthropy
October 5 2015 | From: Alternet
For every dollar they give, they take 44 from the rest of us. Americas parasitical oligarchs are
masters of public relations. One of their favorite tactics is to masquerade as defenders of the
common folk while neatly arranging things behind the scenes so that they can continue to plunder
unimpeded.
Perhaps nowhere is this sleight of hand displayed so artfully as it is at a particular high-profile charity with the
nerve to bill itself as itself as New York's largest poverty-fighting organization.
British novelist Anthony Trollope once wrote;
I have sometimes thought that there is no being so venomous, so bloodthirsty as a professed philanthropist.
Meet the benevolent patrons of the Robin Hood Foundation.
Robin Hood in Reverse
The Robin Hood Foundation, named for that green-jerkined hero of redistribution who stole from the rich to give to the poor,
is run, ironically, by some of the most rapacious capitalists the country has ever produced - men who make robber barons of
previous generations look like small-time crooks.
Founded by hedge fund mogul Paul Tudor Jones, the foundation boasts 19 billionaires on its leadership boards and
committees, the likes of which include this sample of American plutocracy:
- Hedge fund billionaire Steven A. Cohen, who, when he is not being probed for insider trading (his company, SAC Capital
Advisors, plead guilty to securities and wire fraud) is busy throwing parties for himself worthy of a Roman emperor at his
Hamptons palace and bragging about his $700 million art collection. He suspends a 13-foot shark in formaldehyde from the
ceiling his office, perhaps as an avatar of his business practices.
- Billionaire Home Depot founder Ken Langone, who threatened to turn off the charity donations if Pope Francis dared to
continue criticizing capitalism and inequality, and also likened the plight of the wealthy in America to Nazi Germany.
The GOP megadonor doesnt care for bank regulation and its no surprise that he is the main booster for New Jersey
Governor Chris Christies presidential bid, as his plan to shred Social Security is a fond wish of the tycoons.
- Hedge fund billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller, funder of right-wing causes who dedicates himself to spreading deficit
hysteria and ginning up generational warfare on college campuses by trying to convince young people that they are being
robbed by seniors using Social Security and Medicare.
A long-time anti-tax crusader and supporter of such anti-labor enthusiasts as Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker,
Druckenmiller warned President Obama that any attempt to tax the rich to pay for social services for the poor would be
futile.
By occupation (the more useless and parasitical the better), it comes as no surprise that 12 of the 19 men in leadership
positions at the Robin Hood Foundation happen to be hedge fund managers.
A group called Hedge Clippers, supported by a coalition of labor unions and community groups and devoted to exposing
how billionaires scheme to inflate their wealth and influence, has pointed out in a scathing report that the Robin Hood
Foundation has close ties to an organization called the Managed Funds Association (MFA) that - shocker! - lobbies tirelessly
for unjustified tax breaks for hedgies.
Paul Tudor Joness top deputy, John Torell, chairs the MFA, and 31 members of Robin Hoods governing board and
leadership committees are executives at firms that belong to the highest membership levels of the organization.
The MFA was relatively small until 2007, when Congress started eyeing the carried interest tax loophole. Then it brought
out the heavy artillery to protect elites from paying their fair share. The carried interest loophole is the MFAs top priority.
The King of Scams

The carried interest loophole, as economist Dean Baker put it, is likely the worst of all the:
Sneaky and squirrelly ways that the rich use to escape their tax liability.
It goes down like this: Hedge fund managers brazenly claim they deserve to pay a special low tax rate on the money they
earn overseeing the funds they manage because, um, its not guaranteed. So they pay 20 percent instead of the 39.6
percent they would pay if the money were taxed as ordinary income.
They get very rich from this windfall, just ask Mitt Romney. But you know what? Lots of workers have no guarantee about
the money theyll earn, from people selling cars to the guy who just served you a burger. Do they get a special tax rate? No,
they dont. They pay full freight. In fact, almost nobodys income is guaranteed.
You could get a pay cut tomorrow. Or a pink slip. Do you still pay regular income tax? Yep, you do.
This unfair tax break basically allows hedge fund managers to screw their fellow Americans out of money that could do
things the illustrious patrons of the Robin Hood Foundation claim are so dear to their hearts, like building schools and
feeding the poor.
According to a Congressional Research Service cited in the Hedge Clippers report, closing the carried interest loophole
would generate $17 billion a year. How many hungry children in New York City could that feed? All of them?
The loophole makes absolutely no economic or social sense, its just a way for the rich to say, hey, were powerful enough
to lobby for this insanity, so you little people just go ahead and pay for that airport where our private jets are about to land
and that road where our Porsches and limos cruise. Its a middle finger held up to every hard-working person in America.
Dirt kicked in the face of the poor.
Its a driver of inequality and encourages risky speculation on Wall Street. Hillary Clinton, perhaps hoping to ward off the
threat of Bernie Sanders, has been making noise about closing the carried interest loophole, which many a politician has
made before. Given the cultural focus on inequality and the egregiousness of the policy, it may just be vulnerable. Lets
hope so.
Den of Thieves
The mission statement of the Robin Hood Foundation brays about all the funding it provides for school programs,
generating:
Meaningful results for families in New York's poorest neighborhoods. Soup kitchens! Homeless shelters! Job
training! The tuxedoed tycoons throw money at all these causes to give New Yorks neediest citizens the tools
they need to build better lives.
How far does this largesse actually go toward ameliorating New Yorks poverty problem? Unsurprisingly, not very far at all.
In fact, as Hedge Clippers points out, the poverty rate in the city has grown over the course of the Robin Hood Foundations
history, from 20 percent in 1990 to 21.2 percent in 2012.
Guess whats also grown? The bank accounts of 19 billionaires on the Robin Hood Foundations boards, which have
ballooned 93 percent since 2008.
Hedge Clippers applied a delicious tactic to expose the hypocrisy at the heart of the Robin Hood Foundation with stark
mathematical precision - they used the organizations own metrics as an analytical tool. The foundation is famed for using
grantee evaluations, cost-benefit analyses, and performance measures, including a metrics system freakishly named
relentless monetization.
So the Clippers applied these methods to the foundations hedge fund backers themselves, systematically exposing the
degree to which they increase inequality and poverty.
How bad it is? A chilling ratio summarizes just how bad - 44:1. That is to say, for every dollar the Robin Hood Foundation
hedge fund managers studied give to the organizations antipoverty efforts, they soak up $44 from the public in the form of
tax avoidance and anti-tax advocacy. The authors of the report believe that to be a conservative estimate.
Take the case of Steve Cohen, he of the shark in formaldehyde, and board member emeritus of the Robin Hood
Foundation.
The tally of his recent donations to the foundation: $4,850,000.
The estimated amount he ripped off the public in 2014 by paying special low tax rates: $1,300,000,000.
Quite a difference.
When they arent advocating tax swindles, members of the Robin Hood Foundation put in plenty of time fighting fair wages,
trying to shred the social safety net, and killing worker protections through their associations with organizations like the
Manhattan Institute, the Partnership for New York City (the voice of big business in NYC and a big foe of paid sick leave),
and Fix the Debt (a notorious group devoted to crushing Social Security and Medicare).
When you think about it, it looks as if the Robin Hood Foundation members are actively trying to strip the public and strangle
working people to such a degree that poverty and nickels thrown by billionaires will be all thats left of America.
The rest of us will all be living in Sherwood Forest.
The Robin Hood Foundations new motto: Increasing poverty is our business.
Former New York Stock Exchange Head Says That The Stock Market Is Rigged
September 23 2015 | From: TrueActivist
Richard Grasso acted as the chairman and chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange from
1995 to 2003, and he has come out in a recent interview saying that the stock market is rigged.
Considering that he spent nearly a decade at the head of the institution, he would obviously have
legitimate experience to speak on.
The interview was reported by the Wall Street Journal this week and is set to appear on the television show Wall
Street Week this Sunday.
During the interview Grasso said;
A fast market is not necessarily a fair market, as evidenced by that Monday open. Frankly, some of the things that
went on that day need very close scrutiny.
Speaking of the erratic stock activity that occurred in late August, he said that:
A day like that, where Facebooks shares go from $86 to $72 to $84 in a matter of minutes will cause the public to
lose confidence in the markets.
Grasso also spoke of how the game was rigged to create an advantage for certain players.
Creating an advantage to an institutional user or a particular type of trader that disadvantages the retail investor is
bad for the country, bad for the markets and bad for your business, he said.
Grasso has not been absent of controversy himself, he was actually forced to step down from the NYSE back in 2003 after
he was accused of embezzling millions in retirement pay from the organization.

Financial Times Calls For Abolishing Cash In Order "To Give More Power To Central
Banks"
September 1 2015 | From: Sott
The Financial Times has published an anonymous article which calls for the abolition of cash in
order to give central banks and governments more power
Entitled The case for retiring another 'barbarous relic', the article laments the fact that people are stockpiling cash
in anticipation of another economic collapse, a factor which is causing, "a lot of distortion to the economic
system."
Related: Bankers Plan Secret London Meeting To End Cash
Comment: People should be stockpiling cash, precious metals and all sorts of supplies in anticipation of a
probable economic collapse. The only "distortion to the economic system" will be in the distorted minds of
individuals who experience a sense of loss of control over individuals who would seek to protect themselves and
persevere through the turmoil to come.
"The existence of cash - a bearer instrument with a zero interest rate - limits central banks' ability to stimulate a
depressed economy. The worry is that people will change their deposits for cash if a central bank moves rates into
negative territory," states the article.
Complaining that cash cannot be tracked and traced, the writer argues that its abolition would:
"Make life easier for a government set on squeezing the informal economy out of
existence."
Comment: What about the government making life easier for the people that they are supposed to serve? But that
doesn't quite enter the equation does it? 'Informal' economies, or black markets as they are sometimes called, are
the only way the vast majority of normal people can make it through the really tough times.
Have a listen to Dmitry Orlov a Russian engineer who's lived through Soviet Russia's collapse in the early 90's:
SOTT Talk Radio #66 - Lessons from collapse of USSR for USA: Interview with Dmitry Orlov
And read: Dmitry Orlov interview: Are Americans prepared for a Soviet style collapse?
Abolishing cash would also give governments more power to lift taxes directly from people's bank accounts, the author
argues, noting how "Value added tax, for example, could be automatically levied - and reimbursed - in real time on
transactions between liable bank accounts."
The writer also calls for punishing people who use cash by making users "pay for the privilege of anonymity" so
they will, "remain affected by monetary policy." Dated bank notes would lose their value over time, while people would also
be charged by banks for swapping electronic reserves for physical cash and vice versa.
Comment: Wonderful. As though being subject in any way, shape or form to the bankers, financiers - and the
politicians who are in bed with them - isn't already punishing enough! In the meantime many of these arch
criminals are making moves behind the backs of 99% of the world's population in utter anonymity themselves...
If your blood isn't boiling at the complete arrogance and malevolence behind this pathological shite, then it darned
well should be!
The article echoes an argument made by Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, who
has called for high denomination banks notes such as the 100 and 500 notes to be phased out of existence.
As we previously reported, Rogoff attended a meeting in London earlier this year where he met representatives from the
Federal Reserve, the ECB as well as participants from the Swiss and Danish central banks. The issue of banning cash
was at the forefront of the agenda.
Last year, Rogoff also called for "abolishing physical currency" in order to stop "tax evasion and illegal activity" as
well as preventing people from withdrawing money when interest rates are close to zero.
The agenda to ban cash was also discussed at this year's secretive Bilderberg Group meeting, which
was attended by the Financial Times' chief economics commentator Martin Wolf.
Comment: And that's how it works: An IMF guy (who's probably gotten his orders from some BIS member,
Rothschild or some other 'Master of the Universe') talks to a bunch of Fed and ECB guys, gets them on board, and
then talks to his Bilderberg clubhouse cronies where he gets everyone on board:
Including some sycophantic nitwit from an elitist financial publication like the Financial Times or The
Economist. Then everyone in that world who wants to continue being in that world "gets with the program". Though
this particular mode of control - a cashless system - has no doubt been in the works for a very long time.
Former Bank of England economist Jim Leaviss penned an article for the London Telegraph earlier this year in which he
said a cashless society would only be achieved by" "forcing everyone to spend only by electronic means from an account
held at a government-run bank," which would be, "monitored, or even directly controlled by the government."
In the UK, banks are treating the withdrawal of cash in amounts as low as 5,000 as a suspicious activity, while in France,
citizens will be banned from making cash payments over 1,000 euros from Tuesday onwards.
The withdrawal and deposit of cash over the amount of 1,000 euros will also be subject to ID verification.
"There is no more egregious anti-liberty economic policy imaginable than banning cash," writes Michael Krieger
"Of course, if cash were involuntarily "ended," there would be a surge in demand for physical gold and silver, which
would then necessitate a ban on those items. Then the cycle of economic and financial tyranny would be complete,
and crawling our way out of it, nearly impossible."
Comment: Have a listen also to Fernando "Ferfal" Aguirre to get a sense of just how indispensable cash is during
an economic disaster - even after its buying power has been severely reduced:

September 1 2015 | From: Stuff
A Nelson beneficiary was shocked to receive a monthly power bill for more than $800 for her two
bedroom house despite her efforts to use less power.
Kelly Stewart of Nelson with a $821.85 power bill from Contact Energy. Stewart says she won't be using her heater till the power bill has been paid
off.
Since Kelly Stewart posted about her situation on the Nelson Pay it Forward Facebook page on Tuesday, over 250
people have commented with some saying they had similar experiences with unexpectedly large power bills and
problems after the installation of smart meters.

Stewart, who receives a sickness benefit due to ongoing health issues and also works two part time jobs is worried about
how she will be able to pay the bill.

I have cried for two days over this account because where the hell am I going to come up with this money?" said
Stewart.
She lives in a rented house that was insulated earlier this month as part of the Warmer Healthier Homes project which
meant she hadn't needed to use her heater as much.
"I'm not a power user as such, I've got that many blankets on my bed to keep it warm," said Stewart. "I'm on a
benefit so I have to watch every single cent that I spend."
She has not started using any new appliances, doesn't have a heat pump, had a plumber in to check the thermostat in the
hot water cylinder and is unsure of why her bill has almost doubled from one month to the next. Her power bill for the
previous month was $421.
Stewart had a smart meter installed on August 13.
I don't get it, the only thing I have done differently is drop my heater (turn it down)," said Stewart.
She said power companies should be responsible for letting customers know when their usage is uncharacteristically high.
You know a courtesy call to say hey your power is way higher than it has ever been, is there something new in
your home? Just to make people aware instead of just getting a bill like this," she said.
But she was keen to speak up about her experience after becoming aware through the huge public response on Facebook
that there were many others in who were in a similar situation.
Honestly it doesn't just hurt me to see what I'm getting, it hurts me more to see what everyone else is getting
too,"said Stewart.
"This is robbery, I feel damn sorry for those low income earners, those families with solo mothers. How
the hell do they do it?"
When she first called Contact Energy to query the bill she was told it showed the amount of power she had used and there
was nothing that could be done about it but to pay it off.
A customer service representative told Kelly her energy use was between 47 and 49 kWh per day and it was likely to be her
heater. Stewart has organised for an electrician to test her appliances.
A spokeswoman for Contact Energy said they had made contact with Kelly and were working with her to find a resolution to
the issues.
Stewart said she had since heard back from Contact Energy who had offered her a discount and said they would change
her plan from a low user to standard which would save money
Nelson budget service adviser Rosalie Grant said it was reasonably common for power bills to sharply increase over winter.
What we normally advise is for people to pay their bills weekly or to consider pre-pay power, it takes away the
surprise of a big bill," she said.
She also advised people who were faced with significantly increased power bills to contact their power provider in the first
instance to arrange a pre-payment.
Hot water tank leaks, or a lack of insulation in a home was a common cause of a significantly increased power bill during the
winter, she said.
#BlackMonday: From Panic To Judgment Day

August 26 2015 | From: FramingTheWorld / Bloomberg
The final phase of the global financial reset is here and its ugly for the stock markets worldwide.
Its still red all over the place.

It so happens that red is the favorite color for the Chinese. And this is Just the first round, Mr. Big Stuff!
From Panic to Judgment Day, Investors Struggle to Describe Rout
Panic. Judgment Day. Carnage. Meltdown. Fearful. Depressing. Psychologically draining. Wired.
As global markets tumbled, investors, strategists and asset managers across the world struggled for words to describe the
selloff that wiped $490 billion from emerging-market equities, dragged Saudi stocks into a bear market and pushed Russias
ruble toward its lowest closing level on record.
David Welch, the head of equity sales trading at Reorient Group in Hong Kong:
Im trying to process the whole thing. Its just ugly.
Michael Wang, a strategist at Amiya Capital LLP, based in Londons Mayfair:
It makes it more stressful and psychologically draining to say the least. It means not losing your head, staying
calm and not drinking too much caffeine! It will make you even more wired.
Hertta Alava, who helps oversee the equivalent of about $395 million as the head of emerging markets at FIM Asset
Management Ltd. in Helsinki:
What a Monday! I stare a little more at Bloomberg at home, before work and after work.
Nabil Rantisi, managing director at Mena Corp Financial Services LLC in Abu Dhabi:
It feels like its judgment day. Ive spent my entire holiday working.
Wafik Dawood, a portfolio manager at Compass Capital in Cairo:
The situation in Egypt is even more depressing and more intense as investors and traders were hoping recent
economic developments would provide a catalyst for markets, but the situation keeps worsening as assets trade in
a Lehman-style meltdown.
Darius McDermott, managing director of London-based fund broker, Chelsea Financial Services:
This is a market meltdown, but its for different reasons than the 2008 financial crisis. Weve had a few clients
phoning in and weve been reminding them what their goals are and what their time frame is.
Some will want access to capital as theyre fearful contagion will continue, but our clients tend to buy funds long
term and some are seeing this as a decent buying opportunity.
Sanjiv Bhasin, executive vice president at India Infoline Ltd., the countrys largest listed brokerage:
The simple adage to be followed is fear is greater than greed and in this carnage shorting is the key.
Nilesh Dedhia, a Mumbai-based director at Vidhi Wealth Management Ltd., which oversees about $236 million in assets:
Just take a break and let the storm settle. We are urging clients to avoid bottom fishing.
Andrew Clarke, director of trading at Mirabaud Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong:
This move down is likely to cause some nasty margin calls. Brokers are in damage limitation mode. Markets in
general have gone into panic mode, or at the very least, are about to.
Chen Gaomin, 26, an individual investor who works at Baidu Inc. in Beijing:
There is a super gloomy atmosphere talking about stocks. I just want the performance to go back to normal soon,
so I can get my money back.
Julian Mayo, co-chief investment officer at Charlemagne Capital in London:
Its surprising how much of a sell-off its been. It illustrates how addicted the markets have become to free money.

2015 Systemic Market Crash - Friday's 530-Point Market Crash Proves Why You Need

August 25 2015 | From: NaturalNews
Nearly all Natural News readers already understand that global stock markets are headed for a
massive systemic collapse, but this simple economic fact remains denied by most consumers of
the brain-dead mainstream media.
For weeks, months and even years, the leaders of the new media (independent media) have been warning about the
coming implosion of the global debt pyramid. I'm just one of many, and the larger group includes people
like Gregory Mannarino, Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff, Dave Hodges, Susan Duclos, the Silver Doctors, the Liberty
Brothers, Steve Quayle, Mac Slavo from SHTFplan.com and many others.

All of us have taken the unique step of putting our reputations on the line by publicly warning you about the coming
stock market crash, often in the face of ridiculous denials and delusional thinking by the hypnotized masses (who are all
being led to the slaughter).
Several weeks ago, I released a hugely important mini-documentary called Systemic Market Crash.
This documentary was released entirely as a public service, to warn people about what's coming. There's nothing being
pitched in the video, it's simply a powerful economics lesson that every person desperately needs to learn right now,
BEFORE the S really HTF.
Now that the U.S. stock market has suddenly crashed more than 530 points in one day, suddenly a lot more people are
watching this video and realizing things like "Holy crap, he's right!" If you don't want to get absolutely slaughtered by the
systemic market crash that's coming, you need to watch this video and understand what I'm teaching here.

China currency devaluation signals endgame leaving equity markets free to collapse under the
weight of impossible expectations
When the banking crisis crippled global markets seven years ago, central bankers stepped in as lenders of last
resort. Profligate private-sector loans were moved on to the public-sector balance sheet and vast money-printing
gave the global economy room to heal.
Time is now rapidly running out. From China to Brazil, the central banks have lost control and at the same time the global
economy is grinding to a halt. It is only a matter of time before stock markets collapse under the weight of their lofty
expectations and record valuations.
The FTSE 100 has now erased its gains for the year, but there are signs things could get a whole lot worse.

Germany Made 100 Billion Euros From The Greek Crisis + The Global Financial
System Swindle
August 13 2015 | From: Geopolitics / Sputnik
Heres one more item of proof that the whole financial system is one big swindle.
The paper-based monetary system started with nothing, literally. It came into life just by virtue of an imposed
agreement. Played with rosy promises, the whole system was put into action with deliberately complex layers of
paper shuffling and mind-numbing plethora of financial gobbledygook to cover its empty, shallow foundation.
When a country borrows money from a global development bank, the finance minister wont be coming home with crates
of printed money, or tons of gold, to back up the subsequent money printing. The minister will be travelling home with a
mutually signed paper giving instructions on how the borrowed sum plus interest would be paid in full before the next
borrowing will be entertained.
Normally, one would expect to have borrowed something of value which would then be repaid with something of much
greater value, but it doesnt work that way. The whole fiat system is based on a complex system of projecting value in order
to gain real value from your blood, sweat and tears.
When our finance minister went home with a paper instruction to pay, the actual payment of real value will then come from
the actual hard asset that the people has built, e.g. bridges, airports, sea ports, roads and highways, out of the borrowed
perceived value, i.e. loan, paper money, and bonds.
Any income from decades of collecting toll from every commuter, or users of such endemically constructed
facilities will go to the issuer of the paper instructions, i.e. the bank.
Modern Recent Fiat Currency Failures:

1922: Austria - Suffered inflation as high as 134%
1932: Argentina - 8th largegst economy before monetary collapse
1944: Greece - 8.5 billion / month - prices doubled every 28 hours
1946: Hungary - 4.19 quintillion percent inflation - it doubled every 15 hours
1984: Israel - 445% inflation rate
1990: Peru - 397% monthly inflation rate
1992: Norway - Experienced major problems with their fiat currency
1993-94: Yugoslavia - 5x10 to the 15th power inflation (requires mathematical equations)
1993-95: Ukraine - 1,400% inflation rate per month
1994: Mexico - Peso collapsed in what is known as the 'Tequila Hangover'
1997: Thailand - Bhat collapsed and the effects spread to other nations
1998: Russia - Ruble collapsed, similar to German Weimar Republic
2001: Turkey - 1 new Lira exchanged for 1,000,000 old Lira - reformed in 2005
2007: Zimbabwe - 11,250,000% inflation at it's highest in the worst month
This simple scheme has been replicated worldwide for centuries through incorporation, treaties, and closed door trade
agreements. And due to having born with it already in place, we normally think that the existence of the whole system is just
normal and even natural as the next mornings sunrise.
"Paper money eventually returns to it's intrinsic value - Zero"
- Voltaire, 1694 - 1778
We have learned to accept things as condemnable as the current financial system - to be the result of the normal course of
things because every institution that lives and breathes within the system says so. Thats how malleable our mind really is.
And when a borrower nation could not pay the loan principal and corresponding interest, i.e. percentage charges for using
the systems valueless paper instruments [principal], it must unload itself of its sovereign assets to pay for arrears.
This is a standard requirement before the borrower can borrow again from the lenders valueless instruments, more
precisely, to be permitted to print debt-based currency.
Worse, they can manipulate the interest rates at will so that they could benefit even further while their clients bleed
even more.
This is whats happening in Greece and elsewhere
Revealed: Germany Makes 100 Billion Euros From The Greek Crisis
The German government, which has taken a hard line on Greece, has saved some 100 billion euros ($109 billion) in
the countrys financial crisis thanks to lower borrowing costs, a study has found.
Germany saved through lower interest payments on funds the government borrowed amid investor flights to safety, the
German-based non-profit Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) said in its paper published Monday.
These savings exceed the costs of the crisis even if Greece were to default on its entire debt, the study said.
Germany has clearly benefited from the Greek crisis.
In the face of turmoil, investors seeking a safe haven for their money within the euro zone turned to export champion
Germany, which disproportionately benefited from that during the debt crisis, the IWH said.
Every time financial markets faced negative news on Greece in recent years, interest rates on German
government bonds fell, and every time there was good news, they rose.
Germany, the euro zones effective paymaster, has demanded fiscal discipline and tough economic reforms
in Greece in return for consenting to new aid from international creditors, Agence France-Presse reported.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has opposed a Greek debt write-down while pointing to his own governments
balanced budget.
Wolfgang Schaeuble
The balanced budget, however, was facilitated largely by Germanys interest savings amid the Greek debt crisis, according
to the study. The estimated 100 billion euros Germany saved since 2010 accounted for more than 3% of GDP, according
to the IHW.
Even if Greece doesnt pay back a single cent, the German public purse has benefited financially from the
crisis, said the paper.
At the same time, the bonds of other countries including the United States, France and the Netherlands also
benefited, but to a much smaller extent.
Greece and its creditors are working on the draft of a new bailout of up to 86 billion euros ($94 billion) in exchange
for further reforms, AFP reported. They are aiming for a deal before Greece must repay 3.4 billion euros to the European
Central Bank on August 20.
One would then ask why do we have to go abroad to borrow nothing, i.e. permission to print money, when we can
construct these critical facilities on our own, using home grown materials and know-how?
Of course, we can. We just need to agree on all the details, i.e.:
1. The local government / community will have to print IOU's or paper currency to reflect the actual value of the
project to be undertaken, i.e. farm to market roads, interconnecting highways;
2. The people will agree on the value of the project and will be willing to accept the value printed on the IOUs as
payment in exchange for their labor;
We can do and establish a separate system. But we need to armed ourselves first because all those who have
attempted to do so are now dead.
You would think that this hypnotic scheme would not go unperturbed by our 'smartest leaders' but they are part of the
whole game. They are already living and breathing within it.
Breaking from such well entrenched, well defined scheme takes a whole lot of courage and self-sacrifice, and most of these
people dont know how to survive off-grid.
Therefore, you alone can set yourself free from it all. You alone can pull yourself from the whole control structure and move
into real freedom.
Or, we can collectively eliminate all of them and regain control of the whole system.
Those are the choices.
Stalling The Trans-Pacific Partnership: The Failure Of The Hawaii Talks +

TPPA Ministerial Fails Time For NZ Government To Cut Losses
August 7 2015 | From: CounterPunch / Scoop
Anti-TPP activists and a bevy of other groups would have had reason to cheer the delays that
afflicted the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks in Hawaii last week. The obstacles seemed to loom so
large that they, in the end, were irreconcilable.
There are various takes on this. One is that the delay will force negotiators into a Damascus conversion in the
name of the public interest.
Related: New TPP leak shows Canada would be required to massively overhaul copyright, damaging free
expression and censoring Internet
In Ian Verrenders words, writing from the Australian perspective;
This break will steel the resolve of our negotiators to actually fight for our interests.
But this is wishful thinking, given that the entire philosophy of the TPP is corporate rather than individual, the executive
memoranda stemming from unelected individuals, rather than parliamentary scrutiny and representation.
Australia has already done well to destroy its own standing on various domestic policies in a desperate attempt to bend over
backwards to receive the mammon of free trade. It is willing to append its signature to a document that will abandon
reference pricing to peg medicines to a set low price as part of its traditional Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
Even as the Australian delegation is ready to slash the wrists of sovereign credibility, along with other colleagues in the TPP
circle, the litigation mounted by Philip Morris continues to take place against Canberra in secret.
Australias former treasurer Wayne Swan found himself in Singapore in February to provide evidence in that sizeable case,
in which the tobacco giant is suing for lost profits occasioned by the plain packaging regime for cigarettes sold in Australia.
Having had their case demolished in the High Court, the corporate giants swooped in on the provisions of the Hong Kong-
Australian trade deal which had, crucially, an Investor-State Dispute Settlements clause.
These have flowered like vicious weeds in trade deals since the 1990s, when they were deemed exceptional.
From the very beginning, the entire TPP negotiations came from a tilted plane, rather than an equal one. Partners are being
treated, less as equals than discomforted stakeholders. The release by WikiLeaks of its latest round of cables, this time on
the Tokyo-Washington relationship, continue to show that when it comes to treaties, economic agreements and commerce,
an intelligence agency is around the corner doing the hoovering.
The US delegation remained impregnable on the issue of its dairy market, preventing such states as Australia and New
Zealand from selling more milk, cheese and butter. In fact, the entire agricultural issue proved to be one of the most
stubborn of sticking points, with negotiators salivating about getting access to the large US market.
Another point of unmoving obstinacy is that of intellectual property. The TPP is Washingtons Trojan horse in this regards,
an attempt to insinuate pharmaceutical interests into several economies, thereby stifling the use of generic drugs and
maintaining the monopoly of data protection on biologics for up to 12 years.
The chairman of the US Senate Finance Committee, Orrin Hatch, has stated that support for a final deal could not be
guaranteed without it. In contrast, Chiles vice minister for trade, Andres Rebolledo, made it clear that his country wanted an
agreement that balances public policy goals for intellectual property in medicines.
This is not so much a case of free trade, as a form of globalised protectionism of medical knowledge. Such rules, asserts
Dani Rodrik of Harvards John F. Kennedy School of Government, tend to have an uncertain impact on innovation while
generating substantial rents for US patent and copyright holders.
It acts as a form of aggressive mercantilism: We will import less from you while our exports will be guaranteed access
and protection in recipient markets.
The positions of the various 12 states varies, with some parties taking the high stand, and others taking a much lower one.
Officials in Canberra have been pursuing tariff-free trade with an insentient, dogmatic insistence even as other countries
resist opening agricultural markets and keeping their doors shut. All this callow enthusiasm, despite the US-Australia free
trade arrangement resulting in the loss of $53 billion in trade, rather than the promised gain of $5.6 billion Canberras
fantasists promised.
In the words of a Crawford School of Public Policy report from the Australian National University;
"The evidence reveals [that the agreement] resulted in a fall in Australian and US regional trade with the rest of the
world that the agreement led to trade diversion.
Something in this may suggest why negotiations, and the entire process itself, has been cloaked in a secrecy that almost
seems venal in nature. Transparency would kill it, precisely because the propaganda of infinite benefits would not cut the
mustard.
Again, the issue in such trade agreements lies less in the nature of what is free, so much as what is not. This has not
prevented the detractors from being optimistic. New Zealands Trade Minister, Tim Groser, suggested that much:
"Undergrowth has been cleared away in the course of the meeting in a manner that I would say is streets ahead of
any other ministerial meetings we have had.
May these delays continue to be chronic, extensive, and prolonged.
As long as they are, there may still be some lifeblood, however little, in the veins of democratic sensibility.
TPPA Ministerial Fails: Time For NZ Government To Cut Losses

The final ministerial meeting on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) in Maui has
failed.
Not opting to stay another day shows the gridlock is serious and potentially intractable, according to University of
Auckland law professor Jane Kelsey.
Everyone is blaming each other in Maui, Kelsey said. But the underlying reason for the gridlock is the domestic
opposition in almost all the TPPA countries.
People simply dont believe a deal that raises the price of medicines and handcuffs the right of governments to
regulate is in their national interests.
Despite erecting a shroud of secrecy around the negotiations, politicians know they cant sign a final deal that they
cant sell at home.
Professor Kelsey notes that Minister Grosers sales job got much harder this week.
After years of denial, he and the Prime Minister have now confessed that medicines will indeed cost more, that the TPPA
will prevent tighter restrictions foreign investments, and that foreign investors might indeed sue New Zealand and win under
the TPPA.
Those confessions raised the political price of the TPPA and meant the Minister couldnt accept a cosmetic deal.
Despite downgrading his ambitions from the initial full liberalisation to something commercially meaningful for
dairy, even that was not achievable.
Time has now almost run out. The US Fast Track law sets out a complicated process the US must follow. US consumer
organisation Public Citizen calculates the absolute minimum amount of time is about 3 months.
Under the more likely timeframe, if negotiations do not conclude until September the earliest Congress would vote on the
TPP is January 2016, when the path to passage will be more politically fraught. That is US election year. The last thing
Hilary Clinton, other Democrats and many Republicans want is a vote on a politically toxic deal mid-campaign.
Hopefully the groundswell of media coverage and discussion in New Zealand this week, along with a stronger
position from Labour and the Waitangi Tribunal claim, have created enough pressure on the government to cut its
losses and walk away, Kelsey said.
At the very least, before the negotiations resume we need to see the text and the options clearly laid out, and have
an independent and comprehensive cost benefit analysis that can be debated in an open and democratic way.
I and others will seek to advance that openness with the judicial review proceedings of the Ministers refusal to
release documents under the Official Information Act, to be filed early next week.
The Quadrillion Dollar Derivative Debt And The Bail-in: When You Deposit Funds In
A Bank, It Becomes Their Money
The world is awash with promises. Nearly everything we think of as having value is because of
a promise behind it. A few examples; your bank accounts, retirement funds, bonds and even the
dollar bills in your pocket.
Your bank account for example, once you deposit the money it is no longer yours. You can argue this if you wish
but we now know this is true for sure after recent bail in legislations passed throughout the west. When you
deposit funds into a bank, it then becomes their money held for you they owe it to you.
Comment: In New Zealand all of the NZ Reserve Bank registered banks are subject to the bail-in legislation. Credit
Unions are not all subject to the legislation; depending on their status and structure however it appears.
Do not take this lightly, lawmakers around the world have made this the new reality. A little known fact, in 1845 Britain
passed banking law that made depositors (unsecured creditors), this is still precedent to this day. When you deposit money
you accept a liability from your bank and are classified as an unsecured creditor. In other words, get in line with everyone
else!
Same thing with many retirement accounts. Think about Social Security. When you get your annual statement form, it
comes with an asterisk. This is to inform you they might need to reduce benefits. With any retirement account you are
relying on the custodian to make payments to you upon retirement.
Think about state and municipal retirement accounts promising the good life, they are nearly ALL underfunded. Meaning
there is not enough money in there to make (promised) future payments unless some sort of magically higher returns are
realized. These are underfunded by the TRILLIONS of dollars!
Bonds are an obvious asset class where a promise is relied on. Dollars on the other hand seem the most misunderstood
by the public while being the biggest leap of faith in all asset classes. Dollars rely on the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government (a bankrupt entity) yet the populace sleeps through the night secure knowing they own dollars.
ALL non backed, fiat currencies in the past have failed. The dollar is the widest spread and widely owned fiat the
world has ever known, its failure will be spectacular upon arrival!
I wanted to point out the above promises as a basis to speak about trust or confidence. The financial world turns on the
axis of trust. This trust was nearly broken in 2008 and is the reason the Federal Reserve needed to secretly lend $16
trillion all over the world.
If the Fed had not come up with these funds, failures would have spread and trust would have been broken amongst the
banks/other financial institutions and even between the central banks themselves! The Feds largesse worked and trust was
maintained.
Now, I believe we are set for another test of trust. We have gone five+ years with QE this and QE that, the reality being
outright monetization. In fact, central banks today are buying more sovereign bonds than are even being issued.
The public and even the professional funds have backed away from the debt markets, you cant blame them because the
interest received does not even cover inflation not to mention a risk premium. Globally the pace of trade and business
activity is slowing or even declining which will bring to a head the difficulties in meeting debt service and other promises.
They even made a movie about it: Margin Call is a 2011 American independent drama film written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The story takes
place over a 36-hour period at a large Wall Street investment bank and highlights the initial stages of the financial crisis of 200708. In focus are the
actions taken by a group of employees during the subsequent financial collapse.
The fictional head of a Wall Street firm John Tuld (a composite character resembling Merrill Lynchs John Thain and Lehman Brothers Dick Fuld
and played by the wonderfully villainous Jeremy Irons) is told that the firm is drowning in toxic mortgage-backed securities. Tuld orders his traders to
rid the firms balance sheet of the junk by dumping it on unsuspecting counterparties and customers.
I ask, what will happen when inevitably trust begins to wane? Or even fully break? It is at this point the system goes into
The Great Call. Margin call? Of course, because nearly everything financial has leverage behind it but there is more to it
than this.
The call I am speaking of is for contracts of all sorts to perform. In particular I am thinking derivatives contracts will be
called on to perform their contractual duties.
All in all, there are over $1 quadrillion worth of derivatives outstanding. The problem with this is the tail is bigger than
the dog. In other words, the amount of derivatives outstanding dwarfs the total amount of money outstanding and thus the
ability to pay and make good on the contracts.
The other side of this coin are contracts promising to deliver something. Here I am thinking both gold and silver. There are
far more (100-1 or more) obligations outstanding than there are ounces or kilos available to deliver. This is a default just
waiting to happen.
If you listen to the Harry Dents of the world, the dollar will be the safe haven and where all fear capital will go. In a world
based on nothing but trust and promises, will fear capital really pile INTO a currency based ONLY on trust and promises
when trust is exactly what is come into question.
Actually, it can be said the dollar was originally set up in 1971 on a never pay model. The dollar (and bonds) only promise
to pay more dollars and nothing else. This game worked for many years, now it looks like the Saudis after doing many
deals with both Russia and China may be set to transact in currency other than dollars. Are they displaying confidence?
The Chinese are now net sellers of U.S. Treasuries. Ask yourself this question, if China could sell all of their Treasuries and
turn it all into gold, silver, oil, copper and other real tangible assets (without destroying the Treasury market or making gold
and silver go no offer), would they?
I say yes, they absolutely would love to be out from under their Treasury position. Apologetic others might say China is
comfortable, we will soon see.
Because confidence is the only thing at this point holding the game together and its fickle nature, it is important for you to
think this through. What will be standing when confidence breaks? Can banks globally survive runs when depositors come
calling? Can commodity exchanges deliver all they promise?
Can borrowers borrow more if they cannot redeem past issues with new debt? This is where we are headed both
systemically and globally!
Before finishing I want to tie two connected thoughts together. First, the great Paul Craig Roberts said last week he feared
precious metals could be suppressed forever. I received MANY fearful e-mails regarding this thought process. Mr. Roberts
would be entirely correct if it were not for one small detail, REAL gold and REAL silver must be available to deliver.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Otherwise the game comes to an end and the fraud is exposed. He is entirely correct, price can be jammed or rammed
with enough margin posted. Dan Norcini once upon a time had it correct when he said, nothing will unnerve the shorts
more than the longs standing for delivery and making a call for the product.
I would like to remind you, COMEX currently has only 11.7 tons of gold for delivery. This is roughly $400 million. If I were
short, this paltry sum would not add to my confidence.
Another thought going hand in hand with this is where we are now versus 2008. Back then we were within overnight hours
of the entire system coming down, this is fact. What has changed since then? Nothing, but in reality quite a bit. Nothing
has changed from the standpoint of tools used. We have not altered or changed anything that got us to the brink only
done more of it!
We have far more debt and more derivatives outstanding now. In fact, central banks and sovereign nations have even
sacrificed their balance sheets to prolong the game. It has worked so far.
The only problem is the entire arsenal of the central banks have already been tried and failed to provide the real
economy with any stimulus.
The result has been capital pushed into financial markets and blowing the bubble(s) far larger than they were. Now, we have
far larger markets with far more leverage than 2008.
These will need to be met with central banks and sovereign treasuries with weaker balance sheets and almost no ability to
borrow in an effort to reflate. It is a recipe for disaster.
We already know the sovereign debt markets are very thin on the bid side as liquidity has dried up. We also know equity
markets are displaying horrible internal breadth. China is actually nearing a 1929 scenario and will be there shortly if they
cannot steady.
Confidence is a fickle girl, if it breaks, then we go back to the 2008 scenario and well find out just how powerful the central
banks really are. I believe the coming Great Call cannot nor will be met and only then will we see what is left standing.
It is imperative here and now to position yourself in assets that do stand on their own, everything else will be a broken
promise!

Your bank account for example, once you deposit the money it is no longer yours. You can argue this if you wish
but we now know this is true for sure after recent bail in legislations passed throughout the west. When you
deposit funds into a bank, it then becomes their money held for you they owe it to you.
Comment: In New Zealand all of the NZ Reserve Bank registered banks are subject to the bail-in legislation. Credit
Unions are not all subject to the legislation; depending on their status and structure however it appears.
Do not take this lightly, lawmakers around the world have made this the new reality. A little known fact, in 1845 Britain
passed banking law that made depositors (unsecured creditors), this is still precedent to this day. When you deposit money
you accept a liability from your bank and are classified as an unsecured creditor. In other words, get in line with everyone
else!
Same thing with many retirement accounts. Think about Social Security. When you get your annual statement form, it
comes with an asterisk. This is to inform you they might need to reduce benefits. With any retirement account you are
relying on the custodian to make payments to you upon retirement.
Think about state and municipal retirement accounts promising the good life, they are nearly ALL underfunded. Meaning
there is not enough money in there to make (promised) future payments unless some sort of magically higher returns are
realized. These are underfunded by the TRILLIONS of dollars!
Bonds are an obvious asset class where a promise is relied on. Dollars on the other hand seem the most misunderstood
by the public while being the biggest leap of faith in all asset classes. Dollars rely on the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government (a bankrupt entity) yet the populace sleeps through the night secure knowing they own dollars.
ALL non backed, fiat currencies in the past have failed. The dollar is the widest spread and widely owned fiat the
world has ever known, its failure will be spectacular upon arrival!
I wanted to point out the above promises as a basis to speak about trust or confidence. The financial world turns on the
axis of trust. This trust was nearly broken in 2008 and is the reason the Federal Reserve needed to secretly lend $16
trillion all over the world.
If the Fed had not come up with these funds, failures would have spread and trust would have been broken amongst the
banks/other financial institutions and even between the central banks themselves! The Feds largesse worked and trust was
maintained.
Now, I believe we are set for another test of trust. We have gone five+ years with QE this and QE that, the reality being
outright monetization. In fact, central banks today are buying more sovereign bonds than are even being issued.
The public and even the professional funds have backed away from the debt markets, you cant blame them because the
interest received does not even cover inflation not to mention a risk premium. Globally the pace of trade and business
activity is slowing or even declining which will bring to a head the difficulties in meeting debt service and other promises.
They even made a movie about it: Margin Call is a 2011 American independent drama film written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The story takes
place over a 36-hour period at a large Wall Street investment bank and highlights the initial stages of the financial crisis of 200708. In focus are the
actions taken by a group of employees during the subsequent financial collapse.
The fictional head of a Wall Street firm John Tuld (a composite character resembling Merrill Lynchs John Thain and Lehman Brothers Dick Fuld
and played by the wonderfully villainous Jeremy Irons) is told that the firm is drowning in toxic mortgage-backed securities. Tuld orders his traders to
rid the firms balance sheet of the junk by dumping it on unsuspecting counterparties and customers.
I ask, what will happen when inevitably trust begins to wane? Or even fully break? It is at this point the system goes into
The Great Call. Margin call? Of course, because nearly everything financial has leverage behind it but there is more to it
than this.
The call I am speaking of is for contracts of all sorts to perform. In particular I am thinking derivatives contracts will be
called on to perform their contractual duties.
All in all, there are over $1 quadrillion worth of derivatives outstanding. The problem with this is the tail is bigger than
the dog. In other words, the amount of derivatives outstanding dwarfs the total amount of money outstanding and thus the
ability to pay and make good on the contracts.
The other side of this coin are contracts promising to deliver something. Here I am thinking both gold and silver. There are
far more (100-1 or more) obligations outstanding than there are ounces or kilos available to deliver. This is a default just
waiting to happen.
If you listen to the Harry Dents of the world, the dollar will be the safe haven and where all fear capital will go. In a world
based on nothing but trust and promises, will fear capital really pile INTO a currency based ONLY on trust and promises
when trust is exactly what is come into question.
Actually, it can be said the dollar was originally set up in 1971 on a never pay model. The dollar (and bonds) only promise
to pay more dollars and nothing else. This game worked for many years, now it looks like the Saudis after doing many
deals with both Russia and China may be set to transact in currency other than dollars. Are they displaying confidence?
The Chinese are now net sellers of U.S. Treasuries. Ask yourself this question, if China could sell all of their Treasuries and
turn it all into gold, silver, oil, copper and other real tangible assets (without destroying the Treasury market or making gold
and silver go no offer), would they?
I say yes, they absolutely would love to be out from under their Treasury position. Apologetic others might say China is
comfortable, we will soon see.
Because confidence is the only thing at this point holding the game together and its fickle nature, it is important for you to
think this through. What will be standing when confidence breaks? Can banks globally survive runs when depositors come
calling? Can commodity exchanges deliver all they promise?
Can borrowers borrow more if they cannot redeem past issues with new debt? This is where we are headed both
systemically and globally!
Before finishing I want to tie two connected thoughts together. First, the great Paul Craig Roberts said last week he feared
precious metals could be suppressed forever. I received MANY fearful e-mails regarding this thought process. Mr. Roberts
would be entirely correct if it were not for one small detail, REAL gold and REAL silver must be available to deliver.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Otherwise the game comes to an end and the fraud is exposed. He is entirely correct, price can be jammed or rammed
with enough margin posted. Dan Norcini once upon a time had it correct when he said, nothing will unnerve the shorts
more than the longs standing for delivery and making a call for the product.
I would like to remind you, COMEX currently has only 11.7 tons of gold for delivery. This is roughly $400 million. If I were
short, this paltry sum would not add to my confidence.
Another thought going hand in hand with this is where we are now versus 2008. Back then we were within overnight hours
of the entire system coming down, this is fact. What has changed since then? Nothing, but in reality quite a bit. Nothing
has changed from the standpoint of tools used. We have not altered or changed anything that got us to the brink only
done more of it!
We have far more debt and more derivatives outstanding now. In fact, central banks and sovereign nations have even
sacrificed their balance sheets to prolong the game. It has worked so far.
The only problem is the entire arsenal of the central banks have already been tried and failed to provide the real
economy with any stimulus.
The result has been capital pushed into financial markets and blowing the bubble(s) far larger than they were. Now, we have
far larger markets with far more leverage than 2008.
These will need to be met with central banks and sovereign treasuries with weaker balance sheets and almost no ability to
borrow in an effort to reflate. It is a recipe for disaster.
We already know the sovereign debt markets are very thin on the bid side as liquidity has dried up. We also know equity
markets are displaying horrible internal breadth. China is actually nearing a 1929 scenario and will be there shortly if they
cannot steady.
Confidence is a fickle girl, if it breaks, then we go back to the 2008 scenario and well find out just how powerful the central
banks really are. I believe the coming Great Call cannot nor will be met and only then will we see what is left standing.
It is imperative here and now to position yourself in assets that do stand on their own, everything else will be a broken
promise!
Global Derivatives: $1.5 Quadrillion Time Bomb
August 6 2015 | From: Geopolitics
The glorified usury system of the West has superheated past its boiling point and is ready to
explode. Financial instruments of false value amounting to multiple trillions of US dollars that are
currently intoxicating the global economy are ready to vaporize.
China has been in the process of unleashing its Western treasury bonds in favor of harder currencies like gold, oil,
real estate and exotic technology.
Related: The Keiser Report: Debunking Economics
When investing becomes gambling, bad endings follow. The next credit crunch could make 2008-09 look mild by
comparison. Bank of International Settlements(BIS) data show around $700 trillion in global derivatives.
Along with credit default swaps and other exotic instruments, the total notional derivatives value is about $1.5 quadrillion
about 20% more than in 2008, beyond what anyone can conceive, let alone control if unexpected turmoil strikes.
The late Bob Chapman predicted it. So does Paul Craig Roberts. It could destroy Western civilization, he believes.
Financial deregulation turned Wall Street into a casino with no rules except unrestrained making money. Catastrophic failure
awaits. Its just a matter of time.
Ellen Brown calls the derivatives casinoa last-ditch attempt to prop up a private pyramid scheme slowly crumbling
under its own weight.
For years, Warren Buffett called derivatives financial time bombs for economies and ordinary people.
Warren Buffett
Unless collateralized or guaranteed, their worth depends on the creditworthiness of counter-parties. Earnings on derivatives
are wildly overstated, Buffett explains because theyre based on estimates whose inaccuracy may not be exposed for
many years.
When corporate bosses ask financial executives how profits look in any quarter, they, in turn, ask how much do you want,
then manipulate things to oblige when told.
Since 2008, too-big-to-fail banks consolidated to much greater size than ever. Theyre financial and political powerhouses
controlling world economies to their own advantage.
Civilizations only hope is smashing them dismantling them into small, impotent pieces, or ideally putting money
back in public hands where it belongs.
Its too important to be privately controlled. Financial predators entrap small/weak nations into unrepayable debt
peonage like Greece, bleed them dry, and thirdworldize developed ones into dystopian backwaters while they grow richer
and more powerful than ever ahead of the whole corrupt system going bust, decimating billions worldwide in greater human
misery than already.
Washington Post editors support what demands condemnation. Dont worry, be happy, they say. On July 23,
they headlined The Feds stance on banks and capital makes good sense.
Janet Yellen
Half-intelligent economics students know better. The Wall Street owned, controlled and operated Fed is the problem, not the
solution.
Monied interests buy politicians like toothpaste. They write business friendly legislation, getting Congress to pass it in return
for generous campaign contributions and other special favors.
Americas economy and financial system are house-of-cards disasters waiting to happen. Not according to WaPo editors.
The US financial system has made significant progress toward being less bailout-prone since the dust settled on
the 2008-09 crisis, they said.
Big banks are considerably better capitalized than half a decade earlier enough to withstand (another) Great
Recession.
The source: The Wall Street controlled Feds last stress test assessment made public in March ignoring the monstrous
derivatives ticking time bomb weighing them all down along with the entire financial system.
WaPo editors endorse too-big-to-fail banks. They tout so-called economies of scale and greater soft power for US foreign
policy.
Near the end of his tenure, Bill Clinton signed legislation repealing Glass-Steagall (the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
letting insurance, investment and commercial banking merge) and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (permitting
unregulated commodity and derivatives trading).
A casino culture of anything goes persists. When counter-parties dont have funds to pay on demand, bubbles begin
deflating. Its just a matter of time before current market mania ends.
For failing to fulfil its commitments to and for using the Collateral Accounts of the East for its own globalist
ambitions, the West is about to hear the loudest and most destructive explosion of its economy anytime soon.
When that happens the ignoramuses will panic, but those in the know will take over the reigns of power to restore order.
There will be hardships at the beginning but conditions will improve once a new system is put in place.
The Chinese people have, all this time, shown the world how collective labor and sacrifices can improve their economy.
Now, they are more than ready to use the capitalist own weapons against it.
The whole journey is all part of a greater education for everyone; lessons needed to be learned before we can classify
ourselves to be part of a thriving civilization.
Murder On Queen Elizabeth II's Orders

July 28 2015 | From: Geopolitics / ExecutiveIntelligenceReview
July 16 - It was Queen Elizabeth II personally, who ordered German Finance Minister Schubles
virtual murder of the nation of Greece in Eurozone debt-summit negotiations over July 12-13.
The Greek debt negotiations had been proceeding in June. Germanys demands against Greece were much more
moderate at that time, according to an AP wire of today carried in the New York Times. But then, those negotiations
were adjourned on June 26, to await the results of the Greek referendum which was held on July 5. (In that
referendum, Greeks overwhelmingly rejected the austerity demands of Germany and the Eurozone countries.)
Comment: This is a very strange situation. People have chastised the Greek finance minister for resigning and also
the Greek PM for conceding to the new bailout. But the fact is that the finance minister was forced to resign and the
government forced to toe the line because of sever threats to their families and the families of the rest of the
government. The situation has become that serious. The Greek debt is manufactured yes, but if Greece defaults
then that will destroy the European Union and the Illuminati do not want that. Some say this is all a push for WWIII -
but that is a war that is never going to be allowed to take place.
Now during just the same period the negotiations were interrupted, Britains [Germany's] Queen Elizabeth made a rare state
visit to Germany over June 23-26, and met there with Chancellor Angela Merkel, among others. It is not known at this time
whether she also met with German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schuble.
Related: A Few Inconvenient Truths About The 'British Royal Family'
But on June 25, during the Queens visit, Chancellor Merkel complained that Greek negotiations had lost ground, and
Schuble warned that the sides were moving apart.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (right) receives Queen Elizabeth II in Berlin, June 26, 2015.
Then, last Saturday, July 11, on the eve of the summit which resumed the broken-off negotiations, Schuble and the
German delegation showed up with new demands, the toughest ever, which even their allies said came out of the blue,
AP reports.
One summit participant said that the extra demands were immediately perceived as provocative. Schuble had received
and carried out the Queens orders.
He even demanded that Greece be thrown out of the eurozone. Although Greece was not thrown out at that time, the
violations of sovereignty and genocidal conditions were so brutal that they amounted to Greeces murder .
This makes it very clear, Lyndon LaRouche said today. Schuble is barking for the Queen.
Yet Schuble was still insisting on a Greek exit from the Euro today, even after Greece had signed on to his diktat. And hes
going to get the exit he wants, said LaRouche.
Its obvious hes going to get an exit. And thats when Greece will go to Russia. And once they go to Russia, at
that point what will happen is that the European continental region will go into a spin-dive downward. And that will
then shape everything".
This is where the British are counting on Obama, to set forth a casus belli, which will actually be a British casus
belli. Saving the situation will be the pretext for the war. Russia will get an ultimatum: either you submit to us, or we
will go to war with you. The British will create a confrontation between Russia and the Presidency of the United
States, and Obama, the President of the United States, will go to war with Russia."
Thats the scenario. And the game against China, is part of the same pattern. The case is clear. The question is:
whos got the guts to face the reality? And there are very few people who have the guts to face that reality.
Because, whats going to happen, is that suddenly the institutions of the United States government, will then
launch war."
What Schuble has done on the Queens orders, will be part of the pretext. The British Empires policy will be,
then, to get the United States to launch warfare against Russia. For which Russia will be prepared. It means the
extermination of much of the human species, but the British Empire wants to reduce much of the human population
anyway."
But thats the reality. Lets see what kinds of guts and brains people may have. Because theres nothing else we
can do beyond that. Weve got to make that the challenge, LaRouche concluded.
Comment: There are so many factions vying for control and various agendas at play here. One thing is for sure, the
Greece situation is pivotal and it will be an interesting drama to watch unfold, although our thoughts are with the
people of Greece, who are but pawns in the game.

The Corporation is a Canadian documentary film written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark
Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary examines the modern-day corporation, considering
its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the world at
large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person.
This is explored through specific examples. Bakan wrote the book, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of
Profit and Power, during the filming of the documentary.
Further to this, the documentary provides insighst into very poignant hostorical points, including the role of IBM in providing

Revealed: Where Your KiwiSaver Cash Ends Up

July 23 2015 | From: Stuff
When your money goes into KiwiSaver it goes on a journey into the global financial system and
some of the places it ends up will surprise you.
Some KiwiSaver schemes invest a lot in New Zealand deposits, bonds and shares, but most have big chunks
invested in overseas companies and with overseas governments.
That means KiwiSavers fund a dizzying array of activity from building drones to owning Disney princesses.
And often, global headlines from deep sea oil exploration protests here, to Russian pressure on Ukraine have a direct
KiwiSaver link too.
Princesses and Bluebirds

Cinderella and her bluebirds are owned by Walt Disney, and Walt Disney is partly-owned by many KiwiSaver funds.
KiwiSaver funds invest a lot of their money in shares, many of them giant US companies. Walt Disney is among them, so
many KiwiSavers in effect own an entire battalion of princesses from the soapy, pre-feminist Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty
to feistier (though still frock and prince-obsessed) modern-day ones.
ANZ's KiwiSaver Growth fund was 0.65 per cent invested in Walt Disney at the end of March, its public annual disclosure
datafile shows. Westpac's Balanced fund had 0.44 per cent.
Deep Sea Oil Exploration in New Zealand
If you have seen those Stop Deep Sea Oil posters and car stickers around, or been stopped in the street by an activist with
a Greenpeace clipboard, you'll know some New Zealanders are nervous about ongoing deepwater oil prospecting in our
seas.
They fear the impact a spill would have on our coasts and marine environments.
What you may not realise is that two of those prospectors, Chevron and Anadarko, are listed companies which are both
partially-owned by some KiwiSaver growth funds.
BNZ's Growth fund, for example, had 0.05 per cent of its assets in Chevronat the end of March. Westpac's Growth fund had
0.01 per cent of its money in Anadarko.
Hammer of the Ukrainian Economy

KiwiSavers unwittingly take part in global political affairs through their ownership or shares and bonds.
Russian company Gazprom stopped selling gas to Ukraine on July 1 and the Ukraine economy is hurting. Ukraine lost
Crimea to Russia last year. Tensions are high. Gazprom issues bonds to investors to fund its operations.
Some KiwiSaver funds by them. Westpac's balanced fund had a small stake in Gazprom.
Assassin's Creed
Violent video games may not be your thing, but some KiwiSaver funds invest in their makers.
London, 1868. The Industrial Revolution has brought in an age of invention, but the poor are little more than legalised
slaves, until assassin Jacob Frye decides to fight on their side.
KiwiSavers in BNZ's growth fund are among those who should be hoping that Frye will make Ubisoft, the games publisher a
heap of money.
It's another example of the stories buried away in the heart of KiwiSaver.
Funds within Funds
KiwiSaver schemes invest your money in stocks and shares. They often do that through other funds, which in turn may
invest in yet further funds.
KiwiSaver can feel a little like a set of Russian dolls that way.
Take the Westpac KiwiSaver Growth fund as an example.
At the end of March, its single biggest holding was with Ramius Alternative Solutions. It is a US hedge fund specialist which
was looking after 9.01 per cent of the Westpac Growth fund at that date. And its speciality is investing the money entrusted
to it with other fund managers.
The Vampire Squid

Goldman Sachs tower in New York from which global financial domination is plotted
KiwiSavers are, by default, passive players in the highest levels of global capitalism because KiwiSaver funds are
shareholders in some of the biggest names in financial services, including some that have been pinged with some enormous
fines and have agreed to pay enormous sums to end lawsuits.
Goldman Sachs is among them. It was described by Rolling Stone magazine in 2009 as "great vampire squid wrapped
around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
It's coughed up some staggering fines and settlements for its past actions.
It is also a staple of KiwiSaver portfolios.
AMP's growth fund owns a little, for example, and its not alone. Most big growth KiwiSaver funds also own other big banks
whose records are far from spotless like HSBC, Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase.
Droning on
Many KiwiSaver schemes are invested in companies that supply war machines. One example is giant US engineering firm
Honeywell. The BNZ KiwiSaver Growth fund owns a piece of it, and it is not alone.
Honeywell makes reaper drones which have made plenty of headlines for their use in the Middle East.
Ethical KiwiSaver funds do their best to exclude things like tobacco, pornography and arms manufacture, but it's hard.
Take Koinonia, the KiwiSaver scheme for Christians. It aims to do that, but its Growth fund's joint fifth largest holding at the
end of March was Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway, and it owns TTI, an electronics company, which in June was
awarded the title of "Military/Aerospace Distributor of the Year" by manufacturer Souriau. TTI is a small part of the Buffet
empire, but its still there.
Support their Veterans

KiwiSaver funds invest in hundreds of companies. Each has its own story, and some of them are fascinating. Take The
Kroger Company, which was a top 10 holding in Kiwibank's KiwiWealth KiwiSaver growth fund.
It's a US supermarket operator, which in 2014 did over US$108billion of sales, and its got a big drive on to support returning
US war veterans.
There's a parallel there to retailers here like The Warehouse and Z Energy raise funds for good causes.
Foreign Country Bonds

Slovenian government debt is a lesser known KiwiSaver asset.
Many of the world's countries are big debtors, and KiwiSavers are profiting from this.
Conservative and balanced funds buy government bonds. Income is earned off the interest they pay, but there can be
capital gains.
Take the example of the BNZ Conservative fund.
It's got US Treasury bills, British bonds alon with German, Kiwi, Irish, Mexican, Norwegian, Japanese, Danish, Malaysian,
Canadian, South African, Australian, Swedish, Polish, French, Slovenian, Finnish, Italian and Belgium bonds.
It's not just countries. Local councils are increasingly indebted. BNZ's Conservative fund has Dunedin City Council bonds
and Auckland Council bonds.
Merivale Mall
KiwiSaver schemes tend to hold "liquid" assets that are easy to sell. But, because they are huge, KiwiSaver funds are able
to hold illiquid assets.
An example is Growth Fund of the Fisher Funds Two scheme, which owns Christchurch's Merivale Mall.
Commodities Crash Could Turn Australia Into A New Greece

July 22 2015 | From: TheTelegraph
The commodities boom made Australia the lucky country but rising debt and a slump in Chinese
demand for resources signal tough times ahead Down Under.
Last month Gina Rinehart, Australias richest woman and matriarch of Perths Hancock mining dynasty delivered
an unwelcome shock to her workers in Western Australia: accept a possible 10pc pay cut or face the risk of future
redundancies.
Ms Rinehart, whose family have accumulated vast wealth from iron ore mining, has seen her fortune dwindle since
commodity prices began their inexorable slide last year. The Australian mining mogul has seen her estimated wealth
collapse to around $11bn (7bn) from a fortune that was thought to be worth around $30bn just three years ago.
This colossal collapse in wealth is symptomatic of the wider economic problem now facing Australia, which for years has
been known as the lucky country due to its preponderance in natural resources such as iron ore, coal and gold. During the
boom years of the so-called commodities super cycle when China couldnt buy enough of everything that Australia dug out
of the ground, the countrys economy resembled oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
Gina Rinehart, Australias richest woman, has seen her fortune dwindle because of the fall in commodity prices
While the rest of the world suffered from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, Australias economy closely tied to
China appeared impervious, with full employment and a healthy trade surplus.
However, a collapse in iron ore and coal prices coupled with the impact of large international mining companies slashing
investment has exposed Australias true vulnerability. Just like Saudi Arabia, which is now burning its foreign reserves to
compensate for falling oil prices, Australia faces a collapse in export revenue.
Recently revised figures for April show that the countrys trade deficit with the rest of the world ballooned to a record
A$4.14bn (2bn). That gap between the value of exports and imports is expected to increase as the value of Australias
most important resources reaches new multi-year lows.
Iron ore is now trading at around $50 per tonne, compared with a peak of around $180 per tonne achieved in 2011. Thermal
coal has also suffered heavy losses, now trading at around $60 per tonne compared with around $150 per tonne four years
ago.
For an economy which in 2012 depended on resources for 65pc of its total trade in goods and services these dramatic falls
in prices are almost impossible to absorb without inflicting wider damage. The drop in foreign currency earnings has seen
Australia forced to borrow more in order to maintain government spending.
The respected Australian economist Stephen Koukoulas recently wrote of the dangers that escalating levels of foreign debt
could present for future generations. Could a prolonged period of depressed commodity prices even turn Australia into
Asias version of Greece, with China being its banker of last resort instead of the European Union.
Mr Koukoulas points out that by the end of the first quarter this year, Australias net foreign debt had climbed to a record
$955bn, equal to almost 60pc of gross domestic product. Although this is far behind the likes of Greece, which boasts an
unenviable ratio of over 175pc, it is nevertheless unsustainable, especially if it is allowed to widen further.
The government in Canberra and the Reserve Bank of Australia had bet that depreciation in the value of the countrys
currency would help to offset the decline in its overbearing mining industry. However, that hasnt happened to the extent
they would have wished.
Although recent surveys of business confidence have been encouraging, outside mining the economy appears hopelessly
weighted to the only other area of significant growth, real estate.
The problem is that Australia, after decades of effort to diversify, is looking ever more like a petrodollar economy of the
Middle East, but without the vast horde of foreign currency reserves to fall back on when commodity prices fall.
Instead, Australians must borrow to maintain the standards of living that the country has become accustomed to, which even
some Greeks will admit is unsustainable.
Collapse Of Eurozone Has Started - The Troika Swindle: Greeks Owe Nothing +
Germany Is The Country Thats Never Repaid Its Debts &Troika Lenders Are
Terrorists!
July 16 2015 | From: Geopolitics / InfoWars / Sputnik / Geopolitics
Its Germany thats been pressuring the Greeks to pay up even though the former has dodged its
sovereign debts in the past. Now, even a German medium is predicting a dire scenario for the
Eurozone
Beginning of the End: Collapse of Eurozone Has Started German Media
Many international observers called the recent EU summit a humiliation of the Greeks. The talks which were the longest
in the history of the Union diminished all values for which the EU once stood, they said.
According to DWN, this is the end of the EU in its previous form - a political union, cherishing mutual trust and democratic
principles. The democracy is now becoming a marginal phenomenon. Strong states now give ultimatums to weak ones
in a way that was never done before.
On Monday, Greece and Eurozone leaders are finally reported to have reached a unanimous agreement, according to which
Greece may get 86 billion euros over the next three years if it conducts the necessary reforms.
The imposed economic policies, however, will destroy the Greek economy. The Greek banks will partially collapse, while
many savers will lose their money. The policy of austerity has not worked in the past five and a half years, and is unlikely
to work now, the newspaper wrote.
The consequences for Eurozone countries will be dramatic. The Greek banking panic could in seconds become a European
banking panic which would be uncontrollable. The solidarity in the EU is eroding, with countries acting in their own selfish
interests. The refugee crisis is likely to become the next failure in the EU, which will have members acting in their own
interests and not in the interests of the Union as a whole, the article said.
According to DWN, Angela Merkel and Wolfgang Schuble have overnight transformed the EU into an entity that is no
longer held together by trust, but only by naked fear.
With the signing of the agreement with Greece the nightmare for the EU has begun. Life in Europe is no longer determined
by contracts, but by the law of the jungle, the newspaper wrote.
The Troika Swindle: Greeks Owe Nothing
245 billion debt was fraudulently dumped on the country. In June the Greek "Truth Committee on
Public Debt" established by Zoi Konstantopoulou the speaker of the Greek parliament came to
the conclusion that Greece should not pay this debt because it is illegal, illegitimate, and odious.
The establishment media has hidden from view the facts behind the debt and has sided with the banks in declaring
the population of Greece deserves austerity and its attendant poverty and misery because of the Greek
governments intransigence and refusal to accept the harsh conditions of the Troika, consisting of the IMF,
European Commission and European Central Bank.
Left unsaid is the fact a large portion of the debt totaling about 245 billion was fraudulently dumped on the country in the
course of huge bank bailouts in 2010 and 2012.
And since the huge bank bailouts, Greek debt exists only on the basis of the Wall Street practice for unpayable
debt, known as extend and pretend. Its interest and repayment terms have been so dramatically changed by the
creditors in a backhanded admission that it cannot be paid that in debt-market terms, it is nearly worthless,
- Paul Gallagher wrote in February.(source)

Gallagher explains that the Greek debt swindle is similar to the TARP scam foisted on the American people following the
subprime fiasco and a move by the Federal Reserve to print $4 trillion of new money to cover the gambling debt of the
financial class. Its political perpetrators are the same huge banks, and the European Central Bank working with the Federal
Reserve, he writes.
In the course of buying up toxic mortgage securities and derivatives from the United States, the European banks engaged in
their own subprime scam and made unrepayable loans to governments in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Hungary.
Big Wall Street banks were involved, particularly Goldman Sachs, which created magic derivatives in 2001: Take
a bank loan to Greece, make it look like a mere currency swap rather than a debt - but turn it into a much bigger
debt ten years later, Gallagher points out.
Related: Goldman Sachs could face lawsuit for helping hide Greek debt - report
But most of the loaned money did not stay in Greece. More than 90% went directly and immediately to Deutschebank,
HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, and their fellow sharks, with small amounts crumbling to the hedge funds swimming alongside.
Former Greek Labor and Social Security Minister and chair of the National Bank of Greece Louka Katseli said Greece
actually spent a meager 3% of the $275 billion loaned by the banksters.
One of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep Greece in the euro is so that the banks do not have
to take a serious hit on their faulty lending policies"
- Nigel Farage, Member of the European Parliament from the UK Independent Party, told RT in 2011.
It is almost as if there is an unholy alliance of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people.
Germany Is The Country Thats Never Repaid Its Debts
According to pertinent records, only 10% of Greeks debt to the Troika actually went into the
national economy, i.e. as much as 90% went to German and French banks. They were bailing out
themselves in 2008 at the cost of the pensions of the elderly, and massive unemployment.
But thats not all. Those who were claiming to have the moral high ground to this issue come from a country that
has never repaid all its debts. In fact, is a beneficiary of a debt write-off.
German Hypocrisy: Never Repaid Own Debts, Forces Others to Pay Up
Thomas Piketty, a renowned French economist, pulled no punches with Germany and its harsh stance towards the Greek
debt, pointing out true hypocrisy on behalf of Berlin, since the Germans have never repaid their own debts.
When I hear the Germans say that they maintain a very moral stance about debt and strongly believe that debts
must be repaid, then I think: what a huge joke! Germany is the country that has never repaid its debts. It has no
standing to lecture other nations, Piketty told German newspaper Die Zeit in an interview.
Piketty noted that German debts were restructured or forgiven in some ways by its creditors after World War II, which helped
the country stabilize its economy and reach high rates of economic growth.
After the war ended in 1945, Germanys debt amounted to over 200% of its GDP. Ten years later, little of that
remained: public debt was less than 20% of GDP. Around the same time, France managed a similarly artful
turnaround. We never would have managed this unbelievably fast reduction in debt through the fiscal discipline
that we today recommend to Greece.
French economist Thomas Piketty
The French economist wasnt afraid to point out World War II and the German history of forcing other countries to repay
their debts, regardless of how hard it was for the economies of unfortunate nations at the time. For example, Germany made
France pay back reparation costs after the end of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
At the same time, Piketty told Die Zeit about the importance of forgiveness, something that Germany seems to lack.
We cannot demand that new generations pay for the mistakes of their parents for decades If we [the French]
told you Germans in the 1950s that you have not properly recognized your failures, you would still be repaying
your debts. Luckily, we were more intelligent than that, Piketty reminded.
The French economist also urged the German government to soften its stance on the Greek debt, otherwise it could lead
to the destruction of Europe and the European idea of unity and forgiveness.
We need to look ahead. Europe was founded on debt forgiveness and investment in the future. Not on the idea
of endless penance. We need to remember this, the Frenchman stressed.
Greece is one of the countries hit worst by the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The country received financial help from the
European Union twice, in 2010 and 2012, but austerity caused a decline in GDP and as a result lead to the countrys
inability to resolve its debts in 2015.
Greece owes about $270 billion of its total $350-billion debt to the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank
and some Eurozone countries [Really?].
Troika Lenders Are Terrorists!
Greek Minister Compares Actions of International Creditors to Terrorism
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis referred to the actions of Athens international lenders as terrorism
in an interview with the Spanish El Mundo newspaper published Saturday.
There is a name for what they are doing to Greece: terrorism Why did they forced us to close banks? To strike
fear into people. And when we are talking about inciting fear, this phenomenon is called terrorism,
- Yanis Varoufakis
Brussels and Greeces major foreign lenders, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central
Bank, (ECB) want Greek voters to accept the bailout terms proposed to Athens by the creditors at the Sunday referendum.
But we will not allow them humiliate us, we will show that we have no fear, Varoufakis said.
Greeces overall debt to international creditors stands at about $350 billion, of which $270 billion is owed to the European
Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and eurozone countries.
On Sunday, Greek voters will take part in a referendum to decide whether Greece should accept its creditors demands
for spending cuts and tax increases in exchange for financial aid.
The Trail of the Troika: A must-see to understand the situation in Greece
What is happening in Europe in the name of the troika? A must-see for anyone who wants to understand the
situation in Greece.
The European Union and International Monetary Fund have lent more than 400 billion Euros to Greece, Portugal, Ireland
and Cyprus to keep these countries solvent. The lenders granted enormous power to the three institutions of the so called
troika: the IMF, the European Central Bank and the European Commission.
Without any public accountability, the troika is forcing the crisis states to implement policies that are tearing the social fabric
of their countries apart. German journalist and best-selling author Harald Schumann travelled to Athens, Lisbon, Dublin,
Nicosia, Brussels, Washington, New York and London, in order to find out who has actually benefited from austerity
measures.
He puts this question to ministers, parliamentarians, economists, bankers, doctors and also to the victims of these policies,
the unemployed and the ill. Among the many people we meet are Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, IMF Director Paulo
Batista and Yanis Varoufakis, the newly elected Greek finance minister.
Schumanns revelations are often devastating and shocking. Given the negotiations currently taking place between the
newly elected Greek government and their European partners, this film is of great political and economic relevance.
The 75 Trillion Dollar Shadow Banking System Is In Danger Of Collapsing

July 15 2015 | From: TheEconomicCollapse
Keep an eye on the shadow banking system it is about to be shaken to the core. According to the
Financial Stability Board, the size of the global shadow banking system has reached an
astounding 75 trillion dollars.
It has approximately tripled in size since 2002. In the U.S. alone, the size of the shadow banking system is
approximately 24 trillion dollars. At this point, shadow banking assets in the United States are even greater than
those of conventional banks.
Related: The Secret Bank Bailout
These shadow banks are largely unregulated, but governments around the world have been extremely hesitant to crack
down on them because these nonbank lenders have helped fuel economic growth. But in the end, we will all likely pay a
very great price for allowing these exceedingly reckless financial institutions to run wild.
If you are not familiar with the shadow banking system," this is a pretty good definition from investinganswers.com
"The shadow banking system (or shadow financial system) is a network of financial institutions comprised
of non-depository banks - e.g., investment banks, structured investment vehicles (SIVs), conduits, hedge
funds, non-bank financial institutions and money market funds.
How it works / Example:
Shadow banking institutions generally serve as intermediaries between investors and borrowers, providing credit
and capital for investors, institutional investors, and corporations, and profiting from fees and/or from the arbitrage
in interest rates.
Because shadow banking institutions dont receive traditional deposits like a depository bank, they have escaped
most regulatory limits and laws imposed on the traditional banking system. Members are able to operate without
being subject to regulatory oversight for unregulated activities. An example of an unregulated activity is a credit
default swap (CDS)."
These institutions are extremely dangerous because they are highly leveraged and they are behaving very recklessly.
They played a major role during the financial crisis of 2008, and even the New York Fed admits that shadow banking
has increased the fragility of the entire financial system";
"The current financial crisis has highlighted the growing importance of the shadow banking system, which grew
out of the securitization of assets and the integration of banking with capital market developments.
This trend has been most pronounced in the United States, but it has had a profound influence on the global
financial system. In a market-based financial system, banking and capital market developments are inseparable:
Funding conditions are closely tied to fluctuations in the leverage of market-based financial intermediaries. Growth
in the balance sheets of these intermediaries provides a sense of the availability of credit, while contractions of
their balance sheets have tended to precede the onset of financial crises.
Securitization was intended as a way to transfer credit risk to those better able to absorb losses, but instead it
increased the fragility of the entire financial system by allowing banks and other intermediaries to
leverage up by buying one anothers securities".
Over the past decade, shadow banking has become a truly worldwide phenomenon, and thus it is a major threat to the
entire global financial system.
In China, shadow banking has been growing by leaps and bounds, but this has the authorities deeply concerned. In
fact, according to Bloomberg one top Chinese regulator has referred to shadow banking as a Ponzi scheme";
"Their growth had caused the man who is now Chinas top securities regulator to label the off-balance-sheet
products a Ponzi scheme, because banks have to sell more each month to pay off those that are maturing."
And what happens to all Ponzi schemes eventually?
In the end, they always collapse.
And when this 75 trillion dollar Ponzi scheme collapses, the global devastation that it will cause will be absolutely
unprecedented.
Bond expert Bill Gross, who is intimately familiar with the shadow banking system, has just come out with a major
warning about the lack of liquidity in the shadow banking system;
"Mutual funds, hedge funds, and ETFs, are part of the shadow banking system where these modern
banks are not required to maintain reserves or even emergency levels of cash. Since they in effect now
are the market, a rush for liquidity on the part of the investing public, whether they be individuals in 401Ks or
institutional pension funds and insurance companies, would find the market selling to itself with the Federal
Reserve severely limited in its ability to provide assistance."
As far as shadow banking is concerned, everything is just fine as long as markets just keep going up and up and up.
Bill Gross
But once they start falling, the whole system can start falling apart very rapidly. Here is more from Bill Gross on what might
cause a run on the shadow banks in the near future;
Long used to the inevitability of capital gains, investors and markets have not been tested during a stretch of time
when prices go down and policymakers hands are tied to perform their historical function of buyer of last
resort. Its then that liquidity will be tested.
And what might precipitate such a run on the shadow banks?
1) A central bank mistake leading to lower bond prices and a stronger dollar.
2) Greece, and if so, the inevitable aftermath of default/restructuring leading to additional concerns for Eurozone
peripherals.
3) China a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." It is the mystery meat of economic sandwiches
you never know whats in there. Credit has expanded more rapidly in recent years than any major economy in
history, a sure warning sign.
4) Emerging market crisis dollar denominated debt/overinvestment/commodity orientation take your pick of
potential culprits.
5) Geopolitical risks too numerous to mention and too sensitive to print.
6) A butterflys wing chaos theory suggests that a small change in non-linear systems could result in large
changes elsewhere. Call this kooky, but in a levered financial system, small changes can upset the status quo.
Keep that butterfly net handy.
Should that moment occur, a cold rather than a hot shower may be an investors reward and the view will be
something less than gorgeous." So what to do? Hold an appropriate amount of cash so that panic selling for
you is off the table.
In order to avoid a shadow banking crisis, what we need is for global financial markets to stabilize and to resume their
upward trends.
If stocks and bonds start crashing, which is precisely what I have projected will happen during the last half of 2015, the
shadow banking system is going to come under an extreme amount of stress. If the coming global financial crisis is even
half as bad as I believe it is going to be, there is no way that the shadow banking system is going to hold up.
So lets hope that the financial devastation that we have seen so far this week is not a preview of things to come. The global
financial system has been transformed into a delicately balanced pyramid of glass that is not designed to handle turbulent
times.
We should have never allowed the shadow banks to run wild like this, but we did, and now in just a short while we are going
to get to witness a financial implosion unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
JPMorgan Tech Workers Have New Conspiracy Theories

July 9 2015 | From: WallStreetOnParade
Since December 2013 there have been a rash of unusual deaths among workers at JPMorgan Chase,
including alleged leaps from buildings and two separate alleged murder-suicides in New Jersey.
JPMorgans European Headquarters at 25 Bank Street, London Where Technology Executive Gabriel Magee Died on Jan 27 or Jan 28, 2014
A noteworthy number of the deaths have been among technology workers. With the exception of Julian Knott, who
was a high level technology expert for JPMorgan in both London and later at the firms high tech Global Network
Operations Center in Whippany, New Jersey, all of the individuals were under 40. (See names and incidents below.)
Last Thursday, 29-year old Thomas Hughes allegedly took his life by jumping from a luxury apartment building at 1 West
Street in Manhattan. According to Hughes resume at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), he had previously
interned at JPMorgan Chase, as well as held jobs at Citigroup and UBS after graduation from Northwestern University.
Hughes was employed at investment bank, Moelis & Company LLC, at the time of his death. JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and
UBS pleaded guilty to criminal felony charges for conspiring to rig markets the week prior to Hughes alleged leap from the
building.
The fact that JPMorgan Chase holds an estimated $179 billion in life insurance on its workers, and in some cases, prior
workers, whose death benefit pays to the bank not the family of the employee, has raised concerns of more than just trading
conspiracies at JPMorgan Chase.
Now, according to Sarah Butcher at EFinancialCareers, at least two executives at JPMorgan have forbidden their technology
workers from explaining exactly what they do at the bank on their LinkedIn profiles. One tech worker imagines that its a plot to
restrict their ability to market their skills to prospective competitors as JPMorgan moves tech workers from the glitter of
London to cheaper corporate digs in Bournemouth, England or Glasgow, Scotland. Says one worker, according to Butcher,
Weve been joking that the plan is to make us technologists invisible in the market and then forcing us to move to
Bournemouth or Glasgow.
JPMorgan Chase could have other reasons for restricting information as to just what its tech workers are up to. There are
ongoing lawsuits and investigations across Wall Street into the use of computerised trading to rig markets.
In his annual shareholders letter in 2014, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said the firm had;
Nearly 30,000 programmers, application developers and information technology employees who keep our 7,200
applications, 32 data centers, 58,000 servers, 300,000 desk-tops and global network operating smoothly for all our
clients.
According to Anish Bhimani, Chief Information Risk Officer at JPMorgan Chase, in an interview published at the Information
Networking Institute (INI) at Carnegie Mellon, JPMorgan has;
More software developers than Google, and more technologists than Microsoft we get to build things at scale
that have never been done before.
One thing that JPMorgan has never before done in its 200-year history is to plead guilty to a criminal felony.
That occurred on May 20 while the bank was still under a two-year probation and a deferred prosecution agreement for two
felony counts in aiding and abetting the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Its certainly a bank worth keeping an eye on from
many levels.
Following are the names of individuals who, at the time of their death or previously, were employed by JPMorgan Chase and
experienced unusual deaths since December 2013. With the exception of the Knotts, all of the individuals were under 40 at
their time of death a striking statistic.
The following list is re-published with respect to those whom have passed on under such unfortunate circumstances; and may
they rest in peace.
Joseph M. Ambrosio, age 34, of Sayreville, New Jersey, passed away on December 7, 2013 at Raritan Bay Medical Center,
Perth Amboy, New Jersey. He was employed as a Financial Analyst for J.P. Morgan Chase in Menlo Park. On March 18,
2014, Wall Street On Parade learned from an immediate member of the family that Joseph M. Ambrosio died suddenly from
Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
Jason Alan Salais, 34 years old, died December 15, 2013 outside a Walgreens in Pearland, Texas. A family member
confirmed that the cause of death was a heart attack. According to the LinkedIn profile for Salais, he was engaged in Client
Technology Service L3 Operate Support and previously FXO Operate L2 Support at JPMorgan. Prior to joining JPMorgan
in 2008, Salais had worked as a Client Software Technician at SunGard and a UNIX Systems Analyst at Logix
Communications.
Gabriel Magee, 39,died on the evening of January 27, 2014 or the morning of January 28, 2014. Magee was discovered at
approximately 8:02 a.m. lying on a 9th level rooftop at the Canary Wharf European headquarters of JPMorgan Chase at 25
Bank Street, London. Hisspecific area of specialty at JPMorgan was Technical architecture oversight for planning,
development, and operation of systems for fixed income securities and interest rate derivatives. A coroners inquest in
London, which relied heavily on information provided by JPMorgan Chase, determined the cause of death to be suicide.
Ryan Crane, age 37, died February 3, 2014, at his home in Stamford, Connecticut. The Chief Medical Examiners eventually
ruled that the cause of death was ethanol toxicity/accident. Crane was an Executive Director involved in trading at JPMorgans
New York office. Cranes death on February 3 was not reported by any major media until February 13, ten days later, when
Bloomberg News ran a brief story.
Dennis Li (Junjie), 33 years old, died February 18, 2014 as a result of a purported fall from the 30-story Chater House office
building in Hong Kong where JPMorgan occupied the upper floors. Li is reported to have been an accounting major who
worked in the finance department of the bank.
Kenneth Bellando, age 28, was found outside his East Side Manhattan apartment building on March 12, 2014. The building
from which Bellando allegedly jumped was only six stories by no means ensuring that death would result. The young
Bellando had previously worked for JPMorgan Chase as an analyst and was the brother of JPMorgan employee John
Bellando, who was referenced in the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report on how JPMorgan had hid
losses and lied to regulators in the London Whale derivatives trading debacle that resulted in losses of at least $6.2 billion.
Andrew Jarzyk, age 27, went missing in the early hours of March 30, 2014 after leaving friends at a supper club in Hoboken,
New Jersey. His body was recovered from the Hudson River in Hoboken on April 28, 2014. According to police, there were
no signs of trauma to the body. Jarzyk was employed at PNC Financial at the time of his disappearance. He had worked
previously as a technology intern at JPMorgan.
The bodies of Julian Knott and his wife, Alita, ages 45 and 47, respectively, were discovered by police on July 6, 2014 at
approximately 1:12 a.m. in their home in the Lake Hopatcong section of Jefferson Township. After a two-day investigation,
police announced that they believed Julian Knott shot his wife repeatedly and then took his own life with the same gun. Knott
had worked on JPMorgan computer networks in London since 2001, initially as a subcontractor for Computer Science
Corporation and, later, IBM.
Knott formally joined JPMorgan Chase at its London operations in January 2006 and remained there until 2010 when he
transferred to JPMorgans large complex in Columbus, Ohio and rose to the rank of Technical Director of Global Tier 3
Network Operations. Knott was transferred again in 2012 and began work in JPMorgans high tech Global Network Operations
Center in Whippany, New Jersey. Six months before his death he was promoted to Executive Director.
Michael A. Tabacchi, 27 years old, and his wife, Iran Pars Tabacchi (who also went by the name Denise) were discovered
dead on Friday evening, February 7, 2015 in their home in Closter, New Jersey. Their infant son was in the home and
unharmed. A text message from the home had been sent to the father of Michael Tabacchi asking him to come to the home,
according to media reports.
The father found the couple. On the very evening the bodies were discovered, before any autopsy had been performed,
Bergen County, New Jersey Prosecutor John Molinelli characterized the deaths in a tweet as a probable murder
suicide. Michael Tabacchis LinkedIn profile lists him previously as an Operations Analyst at JPMorgan with the current
JPMorgan title of Associate.
Thomas J. Hughes, age 29, was found dead on May 28, 2015 outside his residence at 1 West St., Manhattan. A
spokeswoman for the NYPD said his injuries were consistent with a fall from an elevated location. Hughes death came the
week after JPMorgan Chase, Citi, and UBS each pleaded guilty to criminal felony charges of engaging in a conspiracy to rig
markets. Hughes had worked for all three firms previously. He was currently employed at the investment bank, Moelis &
Company LLC.
Man Rebuked For Claiming To Be 'Fictional Entity' In Court

July 9 2015 | From: NewZealandHerald
A man who fell off a moped and said his identity was a fiction created by the State has been rebuked
for trying to be "funny" in an unusual court judgement. [For a start, the headline is misleading. He
wasn't claiming to be a fictional entity rather that the so called 'State' has created one and assigned
it to him which is perfectly true].
Malcolm France fell off his moped in Auckland and refused to give his name and address to police, who later found
out he had no licence and was banned from driving.
[Comment: While it has become clear to many that the admiralty / maritime law system that has been imposed upon
us by the imperial corporations run by the "elite" are clearly an absolute legal farce; the precise measures by which
these circumstances must be challenged and exposed are still unclear to some.
While some approaches have proven to be successful, such undertakings must be considered very carefully indeed
as there are those within 'the system' who are very much aware of, and part of the current legal 'reality' and who have
vested interests in maintaining the status quo. And many "freeman" efforts have had terribly unfortunate outcomes
for some brave people with the best of intentions; operating with incorrect information and / or procedures.
There are also many clueless bureaucrats who will do what is prescribed to them no matter what. And then there are
those 'at the top' - who know and understand what they are part of; whether doing so willingly, under duress; as
sellouts - or a combination thereof.]

A man who fell off a moped and said his identity was a fiction created by the State has been rebuked for trying to be "funny" in
an unusual court judgement.
Malcolm France fell off his moped in Auckland and refused to give his name and address to police, who later found out he had
no licence and was banned from driving.
Following a lengthy court battle, in which he appeared in court claiming to be someone else who was acting on his behalf,
France was rebuked by judges who were unimpressed by his "frivolous behaviour", and described it as a "mischievous
attempt to avoid or overturn a conviction", in a Court of Appeal decision released today.
France said he was angry about the decision and planned to appeal it again. He said he was quite serious about the argument
he had put forward in court.
"I'm quite angry to be honest. It proves my point that when people want to oppose what the state is doing ... the
state will use all its force and might to protect itself."
France said the decision was not about justice because he claimed he had no legal responsibility to hold a driver's licence,
because he rejected any authority the state of New Zealand held over him.
"I no longer accept the Government as lawful and valid."
This issue was a symbolic stand against his larger crusade against the state, Mr France said.
"This is a starting point of opposing the Government because the Government is actually being malicious and
trying to harm me," he said.
He said he had no intention to pay the fines.
"I'm going to find out my next avenue [to appeal], probably the Supreme Court."
France famously attacked Act Party candidate John Boscawen with a lamington in 2009, squashing the delicacy on the
politician's head during a speech.
After the cake attack, some activists referred to him as Lamington Steele. Following the moped incident, France was charged
with driving while forbidden and failing to provide information. He was convicted, fined and ordered to pay court costs in
October 2013.
The Court of Appeal said France had filed an affidavit, apparently claiming he was Malcolm Freeman, possessing "a right of
attorney, someone to represent Mr France".
According to the Court of Appeal, France began interrupting the district court and forced an adjournment as the Justices of the
Peace and a security officer sought to establish his identity.
It's understood France supported the Freeman-on-the-Land movement. Such a 'Freeman' can be someone in a common law
jurisdiction who refused to give consent to be governed and said no statutory obligations applied to them, according to one
Freeman's website.
France was declined a re-hearing in the District Court and filed a notice of appeal in the High Court.
"Mr France appeared in support of both appeals, but claiming he was Malcolm-Daniel, the man acting for Mr
France," the Court of Appeal said.
"He contended Mr France was a fictional entity, created by the state. He claimed Mr France was neither driving nor
travelling on the moped (he called it the 'travelling apparatus') involved in the incident on 29 June 2013."
Justice Brendan Brown dismissed France's first appeal.
"He was unable to detect, in the nonsensical argument Mr France had put to him on appeal, any question of law of
sufficient general or public importance to warrant a second appeal," the Court of Appeal said.
France then went to the Court of Appeal, but that court said there were procedural errors in France's application , which was
filed seven months' late.
The Court of Appeal said France offered an incomprehensible explanation for the delay. It said France appeared to be
drawing a distinction between himself and the affiant (affidavit-maker) who was referred to as "Malcolm Daniel AR".
"...This matter was appealed not by Mr France but by the Affiant, - the living man - in the form of leave of court/writ
of error to be taken to a common law court," France told the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal judges were unimpressed.
"The courts are vexed by the occasional person who pretends not to be who he - or she - is. Some of these people
may have a genuine identity crisis, but more usually they are engaged in a mischievous attempt to avoid or
overturn a conviction. These people may think they are funny or clever, but they are not," the court said in a newly-
released judgement.
"Courts are busy and serious places, and judges are busy people. This sort of frivolous behaviour is not wanted in
courts."
France could not immediately be reached for comment.
'It's Time To Hold Physical Cash,' Says One Of Britain's Most Senior Fund Managers
July 8 2015 | From: TheTelegraph
It may be time to put money under the mattress. High profile fund managers explain how to prepare
for a 'systemic event'
Ian Spreadbury, who invests more than 4bn of investors money across a handful of bond funds for Fidelity,
including the flagship Moneybuilder Income fund, is concerned that a systemic event could rock markets, possibly
similar in magnitude to the financial crisis of 2008, which began in Britain with a run on Northern Rock.
Systemic risk is in the system and as an investor you have to be aware of that, he told Telegraph Money.
The best strategy to deal with this, he said, was for investors to spread their money widely into different assets, including gold
and silver, as well as cash in savings accounts. But he went further, suggesting it was wise to hold some physical cash, an
unusual suggestion from a mainstream fund manager.
His concern is that global debt particularly mortgage debt has been pumped up to record levels, made possible by
exceptionally low interest rates that could soon end, and he is unsure how well banks could cope with the shocks that may
await.
He pointed out that a saver was covered only up to 85,000 per bank under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
which is effectively unfunded and that the Government has said it will not rescue banks in future, hence his suggestion that
some money should be held in physical cash.
He declined to predict the exact trigger but said it was more likely to happen in the next five years rather than 10. The current
woes of Greece, which may crash out of the euro, already has many market watchers concerned.
Mr Spreadbury's views are timely, aside from Greece. A growing number of professional investors (see comment, right) and
commentators are expressing unease about what happens next. The prices of nearly all assets property, shares, bonds
have been rising for years. House prices have risen by 26pc since the start of 2009, and by 68pc in London. The FTSE 100 is
up by 75pc.
Although it feels counter-intuitive, this trend of rising prices should continue if economies remain weak, because it gives
central banks licence to keep rates low and to carry on with their quantitative easing programmes.
Conversely, if the economy does pick up and interest rates need to rise, the act of doing so is likely to stall the economy and
force them to be reduced again. Once more, demand for those mainstream assets would be rekindled and the asset boom
continues.
But then there is the shock event. Daily Telegraph columnist Jeremy Warner also captured some of the concerns this
week when he wrote that the trigger for an inevitable correction could come from a clear blue sky a completely
unanticipated event.
How are fund managers preparing for this gloomy possibility?
Mr Spreadbury sticks to bonds because of the remit of his funds. Within that world, he said a shock to the system would cause
a flight to safety and the price of British government bonds, or gilts, would rise sharply. He also holds bonds of companies that
would be most protected in times of turmoil water companies, power network operators and those where the bonds are
secured on a solid asset, such as land or buildings.
Examples include Center Parcs and Intu, which owns shopping centres.
Marcus Brookes, another well regarded fund manager who looks after billions of pounds worth of investments, is less
constrained in where he invests, because of the different remit of his funds. Schroder Multi-Manager Diversity, for example,
can pick and choose between assets.
Mr Brookes said the probability of a major shock event was small but even he holds 29pc of the Diversity portfolio in cash, a
huge proportion compared with most funds. This decision is due to his concern that bonds are overvalued and may fall. He
aims to deliver returns of 4pc above inflation so cant afford to put too much in assets that he believes will lose money.
The problem is that people are struggling to work out how to diversify if QE programmes stop, he said.
Mr Spreadbury added: We have rock-bottom rates and QE is still going on this is all experimental policy and
means we are in uncharted territory."
The message is diversification. Think about holding other assets. That could mean precious metals, it could mean
physical currencies.
Leaked: How The Biggest Banks Are Conspiring To Rip Up Financial Regulations
Around The World
July 8 2015 | From: InvestmentWatch
Its almost impossible to keep anything secret these days not even the core text of a hyper-secret
trade deal, the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), which has spent the last two years taking shape
behind the hermetically sealed doors of highly secure locations around the world.
According to the agreements provisional text, the document is supposed to remain confidential and concealed from
public view for at least five years after being signed! But now, thanks to WikiLeaks, it has seeped to the surface.
The Really, Really Good Friends of Services
TiSA is arguably the most important yet least well-known of the new generation of global trade agreements. According to
WikiLeaks, it is the largest component of the United States strategic trade treaty triumvirate, which also includes the Trans
Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Pact (TTIP).
Together, the three treaties form not only a new legal order shaped for transnational corporations, but a new economic grand
enclosure, which excludes China and all other BRICS countries declared WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange in a press
statement.
If allowed to take universal effect, this new enclosure system will impose on all our governments a rigid framework of
international corporate law designed to exclusively protect the interests of corporations, relieving them of financial risk, and
social and environmental responsibility.
Thanks to an innocuous-sounding provision called the Investor-State Dispute Settlement, every investment they make will
effectively be backstopped by our governments (and by extension, you and me); it will be too-big-to-fail writ on an
unimaginable scale.
Yet it is a system that is almost universally supported by our political leaders. In the case of TiSA, it involves more countries
than TTIP and TPP combined: The United States and all 28 members of the European Union, Australia, Canada, Chile,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama,
Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey.
Together, these 52 nations form the charmingly named Really Good Friends of Services group, which represents almost
70% of all trade in services worldwide.
As WOLF STREET previously reported, one explicit goal of the TiSA negotiations is to overcome the exceptions in GATS that
protect certain non-tariff trade barriers such as data protection. For example, the draft Financial Services Annex of TiSA,
published by Wikileaks in June 2014, would allow financial institutions, such as banks, to transfer data freely, including
personal data, from one country to another in direct contravention of EU data protection laws.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the treatys Annex on Financial Services, we now know that TiSA would
effectively strip signatory governments of all remaining ability to regulate the financial industry in the interest of depositors,
small-time investors, or the public at large.
1. TiSA will restrict the ability of governments to limit systemic financial risks.
TiSAs sweeping market access rules conflict with commonsense financial regulations that apply equally to foreign and
domestic firms.
One of those rules means that any governments that seeks to place limits on the trading of derivative contracts - the largely
unregulated weapons of mass financial destruction that helped trigger the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis - could be dragged
in front of corporate arbitration panels and forced to pay millions or billions in damages.
2.TiSA will force governments to predict all regulations that could at some point fall foul of TiSA.
The leaked TISA text even prohibits policies that are formally identical for domestic and foreign firms if they inadvertently
modif[y] the conditions of competition in favor of domestic firms:
For example, many governments require all banks to maintain a minimum amount of capital to guard against bank collapse.
Even if the same minimum is required of domestic and foreign-owned banks alike, it could be construed as disproportionately
impacting foreign-owned banks This common financial protection could thus be challenged under TISA for modifying the
conditions of competition in favor of domestic banks, despite governments prerogative to ensure the stability of foreign-
owned banks operating in their territory.
3. TiSA will indefinitely bar new financial regulations that do not conform to deregulatory rules.
Signatory governments will essentially agree not to apply new financial policy measures which in any way contradict the
agreements emphasis on deregulatory measures.
4. TiSA will prohibit national governments from using capital controls to prevent or mitigate
financial crises.
As we are seeing in Greece right now, capital controls are terrible. But for a government facing the complete breakdown of the
financial system, they serve as a last resort for restoring some semblance of order.
Even the IMF, which urged countries to abandon capital controls in the Washington Consensus years of the 1990s, recently
endorsed capital controls as a means of maintaining the stability of the financial system. But if TiSA is signed, the signatory
governments will be prohibited from using them:
The leaked texts prohibit restrictions on financial inflows used to prevent rapid currency appreciation, asset bubbles and
other macroeconomic problems and financial outflows, used to prevent sudden capital flight in times of crisis.
5. TiSA will require acceptance of financial product not yet in invented.
Despite the pivotal role that new, complex financial products played in the Financial Crisis, TISA would require governments to
allow all new financial products and services, including ones not yet invented, to be sold within their territories.
6. TiSA will provide opportunities for financial firms to delay financial regulations.
If signed, TISA will require governments to address financial firms criticism of a regulatory proposal when publishing a final
version of the regulation. Even then, governments would be obliged to wait a reasonable time before allowing the new
regulation to take effect.
In the United States, such requirements have produced delays sometimes lasting years in the enactment of urgently needed
financial and other safeguards. If the same process is applied across the globe, it would make it almost impossible for
government to constrain the activities of the worlds largest banks.
What that would likely mean is that when (not if) a new global financial crisis takes place in the not-too-distant future, the
banks will once again be on hand to lead efforts to clean up and rebuild with taxpayer money the very sector that they
themselves have destroyed. Lather, rinse, repeat. Only this time, on an even grander scale. By Don Quijones, Raging Bull-
Shit.

Taxes And Government Fraud Against Citizens Around The World
July 7 2015 | From: CAFR1
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Swindle - The Biggest Game In Town
Taxes are no longer necessary. This video exposes a deliberate and massive swindle that is perpetrated by every
government agency from your local school district all the way up to the State / Federal / National governments.
This brief video does an excellent job of exposing how the 'budget' scheme actually operates and how local and national
government has been systematically screwing us all since - forever. Warning: this will make you furious!
Below the video is an earlier article re-posted with more information. It is so critical that the public are aware of this information
- the governments and their sellout politicians know what they are doing and must be held accountable.
A key agenda behind the CAFR swindle is ensuring that communities and countries never make any real progress and in fact
degrade over time. It's all part of the Agenda 21 / NWO grand plan.
Unmasking The CAFR Scam In Your Country / City / Town / Council

August 11 2014 | From: Rense / RealityBlogger | See Update Below
It is perhaps not widely known that governments and councils use complicated accounting
practices to hide their wealth from the people, providing 'justification' for rates hikes and other
methods of wealth extraction.
In a world where council rates and infrastructure costs are conitinually on the increase, in most places the CAFR
(Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) Accounting system is used, which hides wealth and provides the 'powers
that be' with more reason to financially rape and pillage the people.
While much of the content below pertains to the US, the principles in play with CAFR Accounting are used in most countries.
Examples include:
New Zealand Treasury Annual Report
Australia Treasury Annual Report
Melbourne City Annual Report

Australia Future Funds ($100 billion) and Nation Building Fund
Government of Canada (Annual Financial Report)

Ireland National Pension Reserve Fund scheme
Belfast City Council Annual Financial Report
The British Monarchy
City of London Police Department

What Are CAFRs?
First, what is a CAFR? A CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) is government's complete accounting of "Net
Worth".
It has been reported that trillions of collective dollars not shown in government Budget reports are shown through Government
CAFR reports and they are virtually never openly-discussed by the syndicated NEWS media, both the Democratic and
Republican Party members, the House, Senate, and organized public education.
With, and being that the CAFR is "the" accounting document for every local government, and with it being effectively
"BLACKED OUT" for open mention over the last 60 years, that this fact of intentional omission of coverage is the biggest
conspiracy that has ever taken effect in the United States. Read more at: Rense
As more and more cities, counties, districts, and states across America falsely declare their near - insolubility, bankruptcy
warnings, fiscal deficits, and budgetary quandaries, I am left with the sinking feeling that the people just cant wrap their
heads around how to point out these misleading and downright fallacious claims made by their councils, mayors, and
professional con-men in places of public trust.
So today I want to share with you a simple way to factually stand before your local or state political leaders and give
indisputable proof that, when stating the facts about their own budget shortfalls, limited choices, and necessary raising of
your hard-earned monies as taxation (revenue) to balance the budget, your own little criminal syndicate of elected mayors
and council men and women are lying bold-faced to the entire citizenry through the act of subterfuge and omission.
This little factoid is uniform throughout the entirety of the financial structure of government, as reported in the audited
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and required by Federal and State laws. It is always reported in the same fashion
and under the same heading as all other governments (municipal corporations).
The figures are not disputable. The truth is unshakable. And yet the doublespeak will never end For even as you present
this one simple line item to the scoundrels themselves behind their raised and protective pedestals, they will still attempt to
deny what is undeniable, be it in ignorance or in deceit; usually a mix of both.

Capitalism Has Become Socially Dysfunctional

July 7 2015 | From: PaulCraigRoberts / TruthOut
If you have not read John Perkins book, Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man, you should. The
book is easy to read and explains clearly from the inside how US corporations deceive foreign
governments into debts that they cannot service or repay and then use the IMF and World Bank as
looting mechanisms and reduce the indebted countries to penury.
Capitalism has become a socially dysfunctional system focused on pillage and not on the growth of consumer
income that sustains and grows markets for goods and services. Once the last prospect is looted, there is nothing
left to sustain capitalism.

In this interview John Perkins describes the looting process in Greece. Tomorrow the Greek people face the same decision
that the people in Iceland and Ireland faced. In Iceland the people rejected the debts and refused to pay them. Now Iceland is
recovering. Somehow the feisty Irish were brainwashed into accepting austerity programs so that the looting of Ireland could
continue, and Ireland continues to suffer. Sunday will tell us if Greeks have learned from the examples.

How Greece [And The World] Has Fallen Victim To "Economic Hit Men"
"Greece is being 'hit', there's no doubt about it," exclaims John Perkins, author of Confessions of an
Economic Hit Man, noting that "[Indebted countries] become servants to what I call the
corporatocracy ... today we have a global empire, and it's not an American empire. It's not a national
empire... It's a corporate empire, and the big corporations rule."
John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, discusses how Greece and other eurozone countries
hve become the new victims of "economic hit men."
John Perkins is no stranger to making confessions. His well-known book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, revealed how
international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, while publicly professing to
"save" suffering countries and economies, instead pull a bait-and-switch on their governments:
Promising startling growth, gleaming new infrastructure projects and a future of economic prosperity - all of which would occur
if those countries borrow huge loans from those organizations .
Far from achieving runaway economic growth and success, however, these countries instead fall victim to a
crippling and unsustainable debt burden.
That's where the "economic hit men" come in: seemingly ordinary men, with ordinary backgrounds, who travel to these
countries and impose the harsh austerity policies prescribed by the IMF and World Bank as "solutions" to the
economic hardship they are now experiencing.
Men like Perkins were trained to squeeze every last drop of wealth and resources from these sputtering economies, and
continue to do so to this day. In this interview, which aired on Dialogos Radio, Perkins talks about how Greece and the
eurozone have become the new victims of such "economic hit men."
Michael Nevradakis: In your book, you write about how you were, for many years, a so-called "economic hit man."
Who are these economic hit men, and what do they do?
John Perkins: Essentially, my job was to identify countries that had resources that our corporations want, and that could be
things like oil - or it could be markets - it could be transportation systems. There're so many different things.
Once we identified these countries, we arranged huge loans to them, but the money would never actually go to the countries;
instead it would go to our own corporations to build infrastructure projects in those countries, things like power plants and
highways that benefitted a few wealthy people as well as our own corporations, but not the majority of people who couldn't
afford to buy into these things, and yet they were left holding a huge debt, very much like what Greece has today, a
phenomenal debt.
[Indebted countries] become servants to what I call the corporatocracy ... today we have a global empire, and it's
not an American empire. It's not a national empire ... It's a corporate empire, and the big corporations rule."
And once [they were] bound by that debt, we would go back, usually in the form of the IMF - and in the case of
Greece today, it's the IMF and the EU [European Union] - and make tremendous demands on the country:
Increase taxes, cut back on spending, sell public sector utilities to private companies, things like power companies and water
systems, transportation systems, privatize those, and basically become a slave to us, to the corporations, to the IMF, in your
case to the EU, and basically, organizations like the World Bank, the IMF, the EU, are tools of the big corporations, what I call
the "corporatocracy."
And before turning specifically to the case of Greece, let's talk a little bit more about the manner in which these
economic hit men and these organizations like the IMF operate. You mentioned, of course, how they go in and they
work to get these countries into massive debt, that money goes in and then goes straight back out. You also
mentioned in your book these overly optimistic growth forecasts that are sold to the politicians of these countries
but which really have no resemblance to reality.
Exactly, we'd show that if these investments were made in things like electric energy systems that the economy would grow at
phenomenally high rates. The fact of the matter is, when you invest in these big infrastructure projects, you do see economic
growth, however, most of that growth reflects the wealthy getting wealthier and wealthier; it doesn't reflect the majority of the
people, and we're seeing that in the United States today.
"In the case of Greece, my reaction was that 'Greece is being hit.' There's no question about it."
For example, where we can show economic growth, growth in the GDP, but at the same time unemployment may be going up
or staying level, and foreclosures on houses may be going up or staying stable. These numbers tend to reflect the very
wealthy, since they have a huge percentage of the economy, statistically speaking.
Nevertheless, we would show that when you invest in these infrastructure projects, your economy does grow, and yet, we
would even show it growing much faster than it ever conceivably would, and that was only used to justify these
horrendous, incredibly debilitating loans.
Is there a common theme with respect to the countries typically targeted? Are they, for instance, rich in resources or
do they typically possess some other strategic importance to the powers that be?
Yes, all of those. Resources can take many different forms:
One is the material resources like minerals or oil; another

resource is strategic location; another resource is a big
marketplace or cheap labor.
So, different countries make different requirements. I think

what we're seeing in Europe today isn't any different, and
that includes Greece.
What happens once these countries that are targeted

are indebted? How do these major powers, these
economic hit men, these international organizations
come back and get their "pound of flesh," if you will,
from the countries that are heavily in debt?
By insisting that the countries adopt policies that will sell

their publicly owned utility companies, water and sewage
systems, maybe schools, transportation systems, even jails,
to the big corporations.
Privatize, privatize. Allow us to build military bases on their

soil. Many things can be done, but basically, they become
servants to what I call the corporatocracy.
You have to remember that today we have a global empire,

and it's not an American empire. It's not a national empire. It
doesn't help the American people very much. It's a
corporate empire, and the big corporations rule.
They control the politics of the United States, and to a large

degree they control a great deal of the policies of countries
like China, around the world.
John, looking specifically now at the case of Greece, of course you mentioned your belief that the country has
become the victim of economic hit men and these international organizations . . . what was your reaction when you
first heard about the crisis in Greece and the measures that were to be implemented in the country?
I've been following Greece for a long time. I was on Greek television. A Greek film company did a documentary called
"Apology of an Economic Hit Man," and I also spent a lot of time in Iceland and in Ireland.
I was invited to Iceland to help encourage the people there to vote on a referendum not to repay their debts, and I did that and
encouraged them not to, and they did vote no, and as a result, Iceland is doing quite well now economically compared to the
rest of Europe. Ireland, on the other hand: I tried to do the same thing there, but the Irish people apparently voted against the
referendum, though there's been many reports that there was a lot of corruption.
"That's part of the game: convince people that they're wrong, that they're inferior. The corporatocracy is incredibly
good at that."
In the case of Greece, my reaction was that "Greece is being hit." There's no question about it. Sure, Greece made mistakes,
your leaders made some mistakes, but the people didn't really make the mistakes, and now the people are being asked to pay
for the mistakes made by their leaders, often in cahoots with the big banks.
So, people make tremendous amounts of money off of these so-called "mistakes," and now, the people who didn't make the
mistakes are being asked to pay the price. That's consistent around the world: We've seen it in Latin America. We've seen it in
Asia. We've seen it in so many places around the world.
This leads directly to the next question I had: From my observation, at least in Greece, the crisis has been
accompanied by an increase in self-blame or self-loathing; there's this sentiment in Greece that many people have
that the country failed, that the people failed . . . there's hardly even protest in Greece anymore, and of course there's
a huge "brain drain" - there's a lot of people that are leaving the country. Does this all seem familiar to you when
comparing to other countries in which you've had personal experience?
Sure, that's part of the game: Convince people that they're wrong, that they're inferior. The corporatocracy is incredibly good
at that, whether it is back during the Vietnam War, convincing the world that the North Vietnamese were evil; today it's the
Muslims.
It's a [deliberately devisive] policy of them versus us:

We are good. We are right. We do everything right. You're wrong. And they play us like fools against one another.
And in this case, all of this energy has been directed at the Greek people to say "you're lazy; you didn't do the right thing; you
didn't follow the right policies," when in actuality, an awful lot of the blame needs to be laid on the financial community that
encouraged Greece to go down this route.
And I would say that we have something very similar going on in the United States, where people here are being led to believe
that because their house is being foreclosed that they were stupid, that they bought the wrong houses; they overspent
themselves.
"We know that austerity does not work in these situations."
The fact of the matter is their bankers told them to do this, and around the world, we've come to trust bankers - or we used to.
In the United States, we never believed that a banker would tell us to buy a $500,000 house if in fact we could really only
afford a $300,000 house.
We thought it was in the bank's interest not to foreclose. But that changed a few years ago, and bankers told people who they
knew could only afford a $300,000 house to buy a $500,000 house.
"Tighten your belt, in a few years that house will be worth a million dollars; you'll make a lot of money" . . . in fact, the value of
the house went down; the market dropped out; the banks foreclosed on these houses, repackaged them, and sold them
again.
Double whammy. The people were told, "you were stupid; you were greedy; why did you buy such an expensive house?"
But in actuality, the bankers told them to do this, and we've grown up to believe that we can trust our bankers. Something very
similar on a larger scale happened in so many countries around the world, including Greece.
In Greece, the traditional major political parties are, of course, overwhelmingly in favor of the harsh austerity
measures that have been imposed, but also we see that the major business and media interests are also
overwhelmingly in support. Does this surprise you in the slightest?
No, it doesn't surprise me and yet it's ridiculous because austerity does not work. We've proven that time and time
again, and perhaps the greatest proof was the opposite, in the United States during the Great Depression, when President
Roosevelt initiated all these policies to put people back to work, to pump money into the economy. That's what works. We
know that austerity does not work in these situations.
"What I didn't realize during any of this period was how much corporatocracy does not want a united Europe."
We also have to understand that, in the United States for example, over the past 40 years, the middle class has been on the
decline on a real dollar basis, while the economy has been increasing. In fact, that's pretty much happened around the world
[and by design].
Globally, the middle class has been in decline. Big business needs to recognize - it hasn't yet, but it needs to recognize - that
that serves nobody's long-term interest, that the middle class is the market. And if the middle class continues to be in decline,
whether it's in Greece or the United States or globally, ultimately businesses will pay the price; they won't have customers
[which is great if your intention is to crash the system].
Henry Ford once said: "I want to pay all my workers enough money so they can go out and buy Ford cars." That's a very good
policy. That's wise. This austerity program moves in the opposite direction and it's a foolish policy.
In your book, which was written in 2004, you expressed hope that the euro would serve as a counterweight to
American global hegemony, to the hegemony of the US dollar. Did you ever expect that we would see in the
European Union what we are seeing today, with austerity that is not just in Greece but also in Spain, Portugal,
Ireland, Italy, and also several other countries as well?
What I didn't realize during any of this period was how much corporatocracy does not want a united Europe. We need to
understand this. They may be happy enough with the euro, with one currency - they are happy to a certain degree by having it
united enough that markets are open - but they do not want standardized rules and regulations.
Let's face it, big corporations, the corporatocracy, take advantage of the fact that some countries in Europe have much more
lenient tax laws, some have much more lenient environmental and social laws, and they can pit them against each other.
"[Rafael Correa] ... has to be aware that if you stand up too strongly against the system, if the economic hit men
are not happy, if they don't get their way, then the jackals will come in and assassinate you or overthrow you in a
coup."
What would it be like for big corporations if they didn't have their tax havens in places like Malta or other places? I think we
need to recognize that what the corporatocracy saw at first, the solid euro, a European union seemed like a very good thing,
but as it moved forward, they could see that what was going to happen was that social and environmental laws and
regulations were going to be standardized.
They didn't want that, so to a certain degree what's been going on in Europe has been because the corporatocracy wants
Europe to fail, at least on a certain level.
You wrote about the examples of Ecuador and other countries, which after the collapse of oil prices in the late '80s
found themselves with huge debts and this, of course, led to massive austerity measures . . . sounds all very similar
to what we are now seeing in Greece. How did the people of Ecuador and other countries that found themselves in
similar situations eventually resist?
Ecuador elected a pretty remarkable president, Rafael Correa, who has a PhD in economics from a United States university.
He understands the system, and he understood that Ecuador took on these debts back when I was an economic hit man and
the country was ruled by a military junta that was under the control of the CIA and the US.
That junta took on these huge debts, put Ecuador in deep debt; the people didn't agree to that. When Rafael Correa was
democratically elected, he immediately said;
"We're not paying these debts; the people did not take on these debts; maybe the IMF should pay the debts and
maybe the junta, which of course was long gone - moved to Miami or someplace - should pay the debts,
maybeJohn Perkins and the other economic hit men should pay the debts, but the people shouldn't."
And since then, he's been renegotiating and bringing the debts way down and saying, "We might be willing to pay some of
them."
That was a very smart move; it reflected similar things that had been done at different times in places like Brazil and
Argentina, and more recently, following that model, Iceland, with great success.
I have to say that Correa has had some real setbacks since then . . . he, like so many presidents, has to be aware that if you
stand up too strongly against the system, if the economic hit men are not happy, if they don't get their way, then the jackals
will come in and assassinate you or overthrow you in a coup.
There was an attempted coup against him; there was a successful coup in a country not too far away from him,
Honduras, because these presidents stood up.
We have to realize that these presidents are in very, very vulnerable positions, and ultimately we the people have to stand up,
because leaders can only do a certain amount. Today, in many places, leaders are not just vulnerable; it doesn't take a bullet
to bring down a leader anymore.
A scandal - a sex scandal, a drug scandal - can bring down a leader. We saw that happen to Bill Clinton, to Strauss-Kahn of
the IMF; we've seen it happen a number of times. These leaders are very aware that they are in very vulnerable positions:
If they stand up or go against the status quo too strongly, they're going to be taken out, one way or another.
They're aware of that, and it behooves we the people to really stand up for our own rights.
You mentioned the recent example of Iceland . . . other than the referendum that was held, what other measures did
the country adopt to get out of this spiral of austerity and to return to growth and to a much more positive outlook for
the country?
It's been investing money in programs that put people back to work and it's also been putting on trial some of the bankers that
caused the problems, which has been a big uplift in terms of morale for the people.
So Iceland has launched some programs that say;
"No, we're not going to go into austerity; we're not going to pay back these loans; we're going to put the money into
putting people back to work,"
- and ultimately that's what drives an economy, people working.

If you've got high unemployment, like you do in Greece today, extremely high unemployment, the country's always going to be
in trouble. You've got to bring down that unemployment, you've got to hire people.
It's so important to put people back to work. Your unemployment is about 28 percent; it's staggering, and disposable income
has dropped 40 percent and it's going to continue to drop if you have high unemployment.
So, the important thing for an economy is to get the employment up and get disposable income back up, so that people will
invest in their country and in goods and services.
In closing, what message would you like to share with the people of Greece, as they continue to experience and to
live through the very harsh results of the austerity policies that have been implemented in the country for the past
three years?
I want to draw upon Greece's history. You're a proud, strong country, a country of warriors. The mythology of the warrior to
some degree comes out of Greece, and so does democracy! And to realize that the marketplace is a democracy today, and
how we spend our money is casting our ballot.
Most political democracies are corrupt, including that of the United States. Democracy is not really working on a governmental
basis because the corporations are in charge. But it is working on a market basis. I would encourage the people of Greece to
stand up: Don't pay off those debts; have your own referendums; refuse to pay them off; go to the streets and strike.
And so, I would encourage the Greek people to continue to do this.
Don't accept this criticism that it's your fault, you're to blame, you've got to suffer austerity, austerity, austerity. That
only works for the rich people; it does not work for the average person or the middle class.
Build up that middle class; bring employment back; bring disposable income back to the average citizen of Greece. Fight for
that; make it happen; stand up for your rights; respect your history as fighters and leaders in democracy, and show the world!
The Lies And Deception Known As The European Union + We Are All Greeks:
Understanding The Economic Collapse Of Greece And The Subsequent Impacts On
The Global Economy
July 3 2015 | From: Geopolitics / PaulCraigRoberts / Various
Weve long known that trade pacts and organized economic blocks are not really instituted for our
benefit but for facilitating totalitarian control in its grandest scale, and the recent leaking of the IMF
document, emphasizing the futility for Greece to have accepted the Troikas terms, only proves
that sinister objective even more.
Related: IMF has made 2.5 billion profit out of Greece loans
Related: Do you know the truth about the EU?
How about BRICS? Is it not just another NWO sleight of hand?
We would like to believe that it is not. For one thing, every member in the AIIB and NDB banks of the BRICS have equal
voting rights irrespective of GDP size. Otherwise, China would dominate everyone which should defeat the very purpose of
establishing an alternative world bank and is obviously not the reason why governments are jumping into the
bandwagon, as one might find below.
In contrast, the European Union is, as events unfolded for the last five months, a patently undemocratic institution that is
shove right into the throats of the Europeans solely for the purpose of making them incapable of derailing the advancement
of vested interests of the political and banking elite.
The IMF was just lying and playing dice on the fate of the Greeks all along
Austerity not enough to save Greece Leaked IMF documents
Even if Greece accepted all of the austerity measures demanded by its main creditors, the Troika, it still would not be able to
make ends meet by 2030, according to IMF estimates revealed in a set of documents obtained by a German newspaper.
The most optimistic scenario shows that Greece would face an unsustainable debt in 2030 even if it agreed to the package
of tax increases and spending cuts proposed by the European commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF in
exchange for a five-month 15.5bn loan from its creditors.
These prospects were outlined in six documents that were part of the final proposal offered to Greece by the three main
creditors on Friday. The papers were obtained by the German newspaper Sddeutsche Zeitung and seen by The Guardian.
The estimates provide support for Greeces decision not to accept the bailout deal. They prove that for Greece to survive
economically, it needs real debt relief measures, not austerity reforms.
According to the IMF, Greece would be unable to sustain a debt level of 118% of GDP. In 2012, the organization said that
110% of GDP is the highest debt threshold the country could take on. Currently the countrys debt level amounts to 175% of
GDP, and that percentage could easily rise if the country were to slip into recession.
The documents stressed that even if Greece posted stellar economic growth for 15 years, the debt level would still be higher
than 110% of GDP, adding that Greece had no chance of meeting that target.n Even if the economy managed to maintain a
growth rate of 4% a year for the next five years, the national debt level would only decline to 124%.
It is clear that the policy slippages and uncertainties of the last months have made the achievement of the 2012
targets impossible under any scenario,one of six secret documents, titled the Preliminary Debt Sustainability
Analysis for Greece, stated.
There are also mentions of much needed significant concessions, but no specifics are revealed.
The files were reportedly sent to all German MPs for review and approval, but were never voted on since Greek Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras rejected the proposal and called for a referendum.
Other documents reveal further details about the proposed deal. For example, there is a description of how Greece would
eventually gain access to 15 billion. The plan was to consist of five separate tranches beginning as soon as June. They
were said to cover Greeces immediate financing needs, with 93% of the money going towards paying the cost of maturing
debt.
Other details were about reforms Greece should be forced to implement if it were to accept the proposal. The debate over
pension reforms was particularly heated. The documents show that the three creditors wanted substantial reform, including
changes to early retirement penalties and the phasing out the solidarity grant (EKAS).
Late on Tuesday evening, Greece became the first developed country to default on its international obligations, after the IMF
confirmed that it had failed to receive the 1.5 billion debt payment from Athens that was due by the end of June 30.
IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said in a statement that Greece had asked for a payment extension earlier on Tuesday and that
the Funds board would consider it in due course. This was largely expected by the markets. Greek Finance Minister Yanis
Varoufakis had warned earlier that Greece would not be able to make its IMF debt payment on time.
It is still unclear how the Greek debt saga will play out, as the Europgroup, made up of eurozone finance ministers, prepares
to meet on Wednesday to discuss new proposals from the Greek government.

Greece Again Can Save The West - Paul Craig Roberts
Like Marathon, Thermopylae, Plateau and Mycale roughly 2,500 years ago, Western freedom again depends on
Greece. Today Washington and its empire of European vassal states are playing the part of the Persian Empire, and
belatedly the Greeks have formed a government, Syriza, that refuses to submit to the Washington Empire.
Few people understand that the fate of Western liberty, what remains of it, is at stake in the conflict, and, indeed,
the fate of life on earth. Certainly the German government does not understand. Sigmar Gabriel, a German vice-
chancellor, has declared the Greek government to be a threat to the European order. What he means by the
European order is the right of the stronger countries to loot the weaker ones.
The Greek crisis is not about debt. Debt is the propaganda that the Empire is using to subdue sovereignty throughout the
Western world.
The Greek government asked the collection of nations that comprise the democratic European Union for one weeks
extension on the debt in order for the Greek people to give their approval or disapproval of the harsh terms being imposed
on Greece by the EU commission, the EU Central Bank, and the IMF with Washingtons insistence.
The answer from Europe and the IMF and Washington was NO.
The Greek government was told that democracy doesnt apply when creditors are determined to make Greek citizens pay
for the creditors mistakes with reduced pensions, reduced health care, reduced education, reduced employment, and
reduced social services.
The position of the Empire is that the Greek people are responsible for the mistakes of their foreign creditors, and
the Greek people must pay for their creditors mistakes, especially those mistakes enabled by Goldman Sachs.
As has been proven conclusively, the Empires claim is false. The austerity measures that have been imposed on Greece
have driven down the economy by 27%, thus increasing the ratio of debt to GDP and worsening the financial situation of
Greece. All austerity has accomplished is to drive the Greek people further into the ground, thus making debt repayment
impossible.
The Empire rejected Greeces democratic referendum next Sunday, because the Empire doesnt believe in
democracy.
The Empire, like all empires, believes in subservience. Greece is not being subservient. Therefore, Greece must be
punished. The Persians Darius and Xerxes had the same view as Washington and the EU. The Greek government is
supposed to do what previous Greek governments have done, accept a pay-off and allow Greece to be looted.
Looting is the only way left for the Western financial system to make money. In pursuit of short-term profits, western
corporations, encouraged and coerced by the financial sector, have moved offshore western industry, manufacturing, and
professional skills such as information technology and software engineering. All that remains for the West are highly
leveraged derivative bets and looting. Apple is an American corporation, but not a single Apple computer is made in the US.
The German, French, and Dutch governments together with Washington and the western financial system have come down
in favor of looting. For a country to be looted, its peoples voice must be silenced. This is why the Germans and the EU
object to the Greek government handing the ability to decide the future of Greece to the Greek people.
In other words, in the West today, the sovereignty of peoples and accountability of governments are inconsistent with the
financial interests of the One Percent who control the financial and political order.
To conclude: If democracy can be destroyed in Greece, it can be destroyed throughout Europe.
The Greek people not only hold in their hands the fate of democracy in the West, but also the fate of life on earth.
Washingtons mechanism for creating conflict with Russia is the EU and NATO. By violating agreements made by previous
US governments, Washington has brought NATO to Russias borders and is currently deploying more troops, armaments,
and missiles on Russias borders, all the while speaking aggressively toward Russia.
Russia has no alternative but to target these insensible military deployments. As military deployments rise and the
irresponsible and totally inaccurate Western propaganda against Russia and Russias government escalate, war can launch
itself.
Clearly Washington and its vassal states have eschewed diplomacy and instead use demonization and attempted coercion
to force Russia to accede to the Empires will.
This reckless policy continues despite the many warnings from the Russian government to the West not to deliver
ultimatums to Russia. As empires are characterized by arrogance and hubris, the Empire doesnt hear the warnings.
Recently we have had from Washingtons stooge prime minister in London British threats against Russia, despite the fact
that the UK can deliver no force against Russia and can be destroyed in a few minutes by Russia. This kind of insanity is
what leads to war.
The crazed British prime minister thinks he can call out Russia.
Washington is brewing armageddon. But Greece can save us. All the Greek people need to do is to support their
government and insist that their government, the first in awhile to represent the interests of the Greek people, give the finger
to the corrupt EU, default on the debt, and turn to Russia.
This would begin the unravelling of the EU and NATO and save the world from armageddon. Most likely, Italy and Spain
would follow Greece out of the EU and NATO, as these countries also are targeted for merciless looting. The EU and NATO,
Washingtons mechanism for creating conflict with Russia, would unravel. The world would be saved and would owe its
salvation to the ability of the Greeks to realize what really is at stake. Just as they did at Marathon, Thermopylae, Plateau
and Mycale
It is difficult to imagine another scenario that would save us from World War III. Pray that the Greeks understand the
responsibility that is in their hands not merely for liberty but also for life on earth.
We Are All Greeks
Heres a good rundown which we can all relate to whats happening over there in Greece. After all, both sides of the
Atlantic and thereabouts are being choked and bled upon by the same group of financial Corporatocracy leeches.
What the Greeks need to understand that while they are being pushed towards the corner, these kleptocrats really are just
bluffing all these time. In fact, they are already preparing for the inevitable, i.e. the possible rise of the peoples armed
resistance and their own dishonorable exit.
June 22 - Stepping above the furious confrontation with banking powers over Greek debt, Greek Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras observed on June 15:
Im certain future historians will recognise that little Greece, with its little power, is today fighting a battle
beyond its capacity, not just on its own behalf but on behalf of the people of Europe.
Touching the same idea two centuries ago, the great English poet Percy Shelley wrote lines quoted many times since,
though never by the current German Chancellor, French President, or the IMF Managing Director.
"Civilization owes its very existence to the accomplishments of ancient Greece", wrote poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1821.
Here, the Parthenon, which graces Athens Acropolis.
The apathy of the rulers of the civilized world, Shelley wrote in 1821, when Greece was a captive nation in revolt
against the Ottoman Empire, to the astonishing circumstances of the descendants of that nation to which they
owe their civilization, is something perfectly inexplicable to a mere spectator of the shows of this mortal scene. We
are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts have their root in Greece."
The human form and the human mind attained a perfection in Greece, Shelley continued, which has impressed
its image on those faultless productions, whose very fragments are the despair of modern art, and has propagated
impulses which cannot cease, through a thousand channels of manifest or imperceptible operation, to enoble and
delight mankind.
In the drama, Hellas, to which these lines were prologue, Shelley had a Greek chorus look on this scene:
Let there be light! said Liberty,

And like a sunrise from the sea
Athens arose! - Around her born,
Shone like the mountains in the morn
Glorious states; - and are they now
Ashes, wrecks, oblivion?
Today, for the sake of imposed debts, Greek cities and islands, in a mere five years of dictated and savage austerity, have
been forced back toward the condition Shelley referred to, and Greeks back toward their living standards of a century ago.
But in the Greek governments attempt to break out of the austerity trap, it is the wrecked economy of Europe as a whole
which is at stake - standing before either a new financial collapse, or a revival in collaboration with the growth and the
development institutions of the BRICS-allied nations.
Deadly Debt
The core of the fight over Greece and its debt, is that the new Greek government, with a popular mandate, has been
asking the European Union to shut down a tremendous Wall Street-London bank swindle and make economic growth
possible again in Europe.
If that doesnt happen, the worsening bankruptcy of the whole trans-Atlantic banking system will continue to generate
desperate confrontations with major powers Russia and China, with the threat of world war.
The rest of Europe, so far, has refused to shut down that Wall Street swindle, and on Feb. 18, Obamas Treasury Secretary
Jack Lew backed up that refusal, including by a threatening phone call to the Greek finance minister.
The refusal to write down unpayable debt, by Europes bankrupt giant banks and governments, is the fundamental reason
the economies of the whole European Union have been dead in the water for seven years. Since the 2008 financial crash,
these banks have sat with @eu2 trillion of toxic real estate debt on their books, tangled in tens of trillions in derivatives
contracts - unable and unwilling to lend into the European economies, through year after year of economic recession and
depression.
Anything suggesting bank reorganization to deal with these dead debt securities under Glass-Steagall principles, has been
refused, and Europes bankrupt megabanks lie, like undead monsters, blocking the road to productive credit, investment,
and recovery.
Now, the battle over whether Greece can adopt an economic recovery strategy has exposed the fact that large amounts
of government debt, accumulated by various European governments bailing out their big banks, is also unpayable and must
be written down - starting with that of Greece.
A Bankers Coup Attempt
Speaking at the Paris Schiller Institute conference on June 14, Stlios Kouloglou, a European MP from the Greek Syriza
party, exposed the plot by the IMF, European Central Bank (ECB) and European Commission - the so-called European
institutions or Troika - to use the debt issue to overthrow the current Greek government.
Comparing the situation to the overthrow of Chiles President Salvador Allende in 1973, Kouloglou said, Before Pinochet
came in with the tanks in 1972, President Nixon told the CIA: Make the economy scream. And the banks cut off all credit to
Chile.
Today, the coup is not by tanks, but by the banks. As soon as Syriza came to power, explained Kouloglu, Mario Draghi of
the ECB cut off, without the slightest justification, the main source of financing of Greek banks. He replaced it with the so-
called Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA), a facility which must be renewed every week. This, he used as a sword of
Damocles hanging over the head of the Greek government.
Kouloglou used the occasion to address bitter remarks to France: Abandoned by those forces whose support it was
counting on - the French government - Greece cannot solve the major problem of the country: an intolerable debt, which
was used essentially to bail out French and German banks assets in Greece.
The proposal for an international debt conference like that of 1953, which freed Germany from the greater part of debt
reparations, opening the road to the economic miracle, has been drowned in a sea of threats and ultimatums, he charged. In
that loaded climate, Russias positive answer to Greeces request to participate in the new BRICS bank, came as a sigh of
relief and optimism for Greek public opinion.
We will resist, Kouloglou concluded, underscoring that time is of the essence, best wishes for the Greek government are
no longer enough, and the solidarity it deserves must be expressed by action.
Greece Under Siege
After returning from a high-pressure week of meetings in Athens, co-author Dean Andromidas can testify to the brutal
evidence of the charges by Kouloglou of a bankers plot to overthrow the fighting Greek government. The siege of Greece is
everywhere to be seen, from beggars on the streets, to shuttered storefronts in Athens main business district, and more.
The blackmail of cutting off liquidity, something that would not be possible if Greece had its own currency, is destroying the
Greek economy as much as the austerity itself. Banks are unable to extend credit lines to viable companies; even hotel
operators are unable to get simple medium-term credit lines to refurbish their hotels.
Large Greek multinational companies have moved their headquarters to places like Luxembourg, because Greek-registered
companies are unable to access credit inside or outside of the country. Such moves mean not only loss of jobs but tax
revenue as well.
One Greek financial expert told EIR, There is absolutely no liquidity. The economy is collapsing every day because of this.
He added that small and medium businesses, one of the major sources of employment for Greece, are being hit the
hardest; companies are closing down every day. Over three hundred thousand have closed. He added that no
foreign investors can even consider investing in Greece because of the uncertainty being created by the siege
being laid against the country.
The liquidity siege does not allow Greece to borrow short-term, up to three months, to cover temporary revenue shortfalls,
making it impossible for the government to implement emergency measures to deal with the humanitarian catastrophe
created by five years of the brutal regime under the jackboot of the Troika enforcers.
Nowhere is the situation more dramatic than in the health sector, where the previous Quisling government reduced the
budget by no less than 50 percent. The new Minister of Health, Panagiotis Kouroumplis, who is blind, and one of the most
respected political figures in the country, has taken on the mission impossible of finding the resources to rebuild the
system.
Not only have the countrys hospitals been stripped of doctors and essential medical personnel, but 40 percent of the
population does not have health insurance, which means they are denied healthcare. The minister is attempting to create a
community healthcare system to answer this need, which is a matter of life or death for thousands of Greeks who are now
unable to access health care. The cutting-off of liquidity makes his mission virtually impossible: a recipe for more death and
suffering.
Every aspect of the Troikas policy, which the government is trying to reverse, has been, and continues to be, genocidal in
its intent. Greeces creditors demand cuts in pensions, which have already been cut by 25 to 40 percent. Hundreds of
thousands of Greeks live on the reduced 400 Euro pension of their grandparents.
In many cases we are talking about as many as eight or ten people relying on one pension. The creditors demand an end to
early retirement. In reality, early retirement means government employees retiring in order to reduce the number of public
workers. Ending early retirement means laying off workers and simply throwing them onto the street with no income.
The creditors are demanding even more taxes. In Greece the poor, the unemployed, children, and the unborn all pay
taxes. The tax regime created by the Troika demands that the first euro earned is taxed, thus eliminating a minimum income
not subject to tax, which has been the norm in every civilized society. All pensions are taxed, even the 400 euro pension that
is supporting ten people. If you have children, you pay extra tax for each child, which is also unheard of in civilized countries.
The divorce rate has dramatically increased since married couples pay more tax, thus in effect taxing the unborn.
Thousands of self-employed professionals, such as engineers, lawyers, and doctors, pay taxes whether they have worked
or not. One IT engineer reported that tens of thousands of engineers have fallen into tax debt, despite the fact that they have
been unemployed and have no earned income; this leaves them open to the seizure of their homes and property because of
tax debt. In 2014, 65 to 70 percent of the engineers did not earn any income, yet owe thousands in taxes.
The result is that thousands of Greeces professionals are forced to leave the country. Greeces main source of wealth is not
its beautiful islands, but its well educated population. This is another case of genocide, since Greece has a relatively high
number of engineers and medical doctors who could play a central role if the economy were expanding.
Resistance and the BRICS
The very fact that Syriza, which prior to the crisis would receive only three to four percent of the vote, and the Independent
Greeks, a new party organized to oppose the memorandum, are now in power, is testament to the spirit of resistance that
has taken hold among a large percentage of the population. Those of all ages have mobilized themselves.
The young take to the streets and join the ruling parties, or are ready to re-elect the ruling parties if elections have to be
held. One finds pensioned former government workers, including diplomats and economists, back in government doing the
jobs of younger men because they are fighting the fight of their lives, as one party leader told EIR.
Crucial to the success of this resistance is its ability to gain allies, and here the government has clearly chosen the BRICS
option. In his speech before the St. Petersburg Economic Forum June 19, Prime Minister Tsipras made clear he was in
Russia, and not in Brussels negotiating, because Greece wants to pursue a multidimensional policy and engage with
countries that are currently playing a key role in global economic developments.
He explicitly mentioned the BRICs and the Eurasian Economic Union. He declared that Greece seeks to be a bridge of
cooperation linking three continents. (See below)
Greece has already strengthened ties to China through its port of Piraeus, whose container terminal, under lease to China,
has become the latters main port of entry for its ship-bound exports to Central and Eastern Europe. Greece is linked to
Russia not only through energy imports, but through sharing the same Orthodox Christian religion and a history of centuries
of cultural and political interaction.
The June 18-20 St. Petersburg Economic Forum saw this cooperation between Greece and the BRICS go to a new level.
On the sidelines of that event, Tsipras and Greek Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Minister Panagiotis
Lafazanis met with the directors of the new BRICS development bank; the latter stressed their strong interest in the
cooperation between Greece and the New Development Bank.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras speaks at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 19, 2015.
Tsipras and Lafazanis also met with Gazproms head Alexey Miller to discuss the extension into Greece of the Turkish
Stream Gas pipeline. This was followed by a meeting between Lafazanis and the head of Russias Bank for Development
and Foreign Economic Affairs (Vnesheconombank), Vladimir Dimitriev, where it was decided to form a new company called
Energy Investments Public Enterprise SA. It will be owned by the Greek state, and with financing from Vnesheconombank,
will build the Greek pipeline, to be named the South European Pipeline.
Fraudulent, Unpayable Debt
On June 17, the Debt Truth Commission of the Greek Parliament issued a preliminary, but extremely important report on the
more than 240 billion-euro debts which the European institutions - the European Financial Stability Fund, European
Central Bank, and IMF - claim against Greece.
After extensive hearings and examination of evidence, the Commission found all of this claimed debt to be
illegitimate, and that it should not be paid.
The findings strengthen the Greek governments position against these same institutions demands for new, and suicidal,
economic austerity measures against the Greek population. Furthermore they confirm the analysis published by EIR on
behalf of Editor-in-chief Lyndon LaRouche in late February of this year, which found that the so-called bailout debt of
Greece was a huge swindle, transferring European taxpayers funds, via Greek government accounts, to bankrupt
megabanks in London and Europe.
The Debt Truth Commissions report says:
"All the evidence we present in this report shows that Greece not only does not have the ability to pay this debt, but
also should not pay this debt, first and foremost because the debt emerging from the Troikas arrangements is a
direct infringement on the fundamental human rights of the residents of Greece. Hence, we came to the conclusion
that Greece should not pay this debt because it is illegal, illegitimate, and odious.
It has also come to the understanding of the Committee that the unsustainability of the Greek public debt was
evident from the outset to the international creditors, the Greek authorities, and the corporate media. Yet, the
Greek authorities, together with some other governments in the EU, conspired against the restructuring of public
debt in 2010 in order to protect financial institutions.
The corporate media hid the truth from the public by depicting a situation in which the bailout was argued to benefit
Greece, whilst spinning a narrative intended to portray the population as deserving punishment for their own
wrongdoings."
Political forces in other superindebted countries in the Eurozone will also be affected by these findings.
LaRouches February analysis had likewise found:
"In the case of Greece, much of that debt was fraudulently piled on the country in the course of huge bank bailouts,
in 2010 and 2012, totalling about EU245 billion. These rocketed the countrys debt, as a ratio of its GDP, from
126% at the end of 2009 to 175% at the end of 2014. The impact on other national debts was equally dramatic:
Irelands, for example, rose from 25% of GDP before it bailed out Londons banks headquartered in its territory in
2009, to 125% afterwards.
The debt piled on Greece in the past 12 years (since it joined the euro currency) is significantly illegitimate in
regard to its causes and relationship to the real economy of the country. It cannot be paid in the next half-century,
and it cannot be paid by continued cuts in employment, pensions, wages, health-care services, or by selling off
national income and infrastructure."
The Debt Should Be Cancelled
The casino lending of the biggest London, Frankfurt, and Paris banks, the deliberate rule-breaking by the IMF and ECB
regarding Greece, and the irrational intransigence of German and French officials have made Greeces debt both illegitimate
and odious - a giant swindle.
The country went on a borrowing binge after joining the Eurozone in 2002, making its imports cheaper, and pricing its
exports off the market. There are no irrational borrowers without irrational lenders, and the banks threw money wildly at
Greece to finance German, French, and U.S. exports, especially military.
When Greece reached clear insolvency by 2010, the banks refused to allow any debt writeoff. Instead, the European
institutions started giving bailout loans with taxpayers funds - committing the unbelievable mistake of lending new funds
to a bankrupt which had no protection from its creditors (the London-centered banks).
The IMF and ECB compounded the mess by jumping in to buy up Greek debt from private financial institutions at 100% face
value, violating their own charters and piling new, shorter-term debt on Greece. In 2012 the bank bailout process was
repeated on an even larger scale, and 240 billion euros of new debt piled on, again with taxpayers funds.
Ninety percent of all 350 billion euros of the bailout loans passed through Greek federal accounts at the speed of
light, and landed at the very same German, French, and British megabanks, allowing them not to write off their
casino-wild Greek debt assets.
On June 19, days after the June 13-14 Schiller Institute event in Paris and LaRouches new statements, the influential senior
former Social Democratic Chancellor of Germany, Helmut Schmidt, spoke to the Greek semi-official press agency, ANA-
MPA.
While saying an unorganized Greek exit from the euro could lead to disaster, Schmidt said that Greece should
never have joined the Eurozone, and that its problems could more easily be solved if it still had its national
currency, the drachma.
When asked about a cancellation of Greek debt, as modeled on the London Debt Agreement of 1953 on German debt,
Schmidt was clear: I want to tell you that I think that it is completely excluded that Greece will be able to repay its debt. The
majority of it should be cancelled.
Schmidt made his own proposal for a solution to the crisis, calling for a European investment program for the benefit of
Greece, which can be financed not only from Germany, but also via an agreement to write off a large part of the
accumulated debt of Greece. He also made clear that it is nonsense to say that the German people have been bled by
Greece, which is what Germans read every day in their media.
A Way to the Future
LaRouche had called in February for full international backing for the Greek governments position, stating:
Looting does not constitute legitimate debt. The debt is illegal, it is unpayable, and it is the fruit of a London-led
criminal enterprise that must be shut down altogether, if the world is to survive the coming months without an
eruption of general war in the center of Europe. This [issue] has to be put loud and clear on every doorstep in the
United States. If you want to avoid World War III, thats what youll do.
He called for creating a buffer of credit for the real economy - a credit institution on Alexander Hamiltons principles. Such a
new development bank in Greece will be linked to the European Investment Bank - and to China and the BRICS-allied
nations.
One week ago on June 18, LaRouche said;
You cannot sustain the euro system, it is intrinsically bankrupt. If you base a debt deal on that system - any debt
deal, - that deal will fail. The fraud of what Wall Street and London banks are calling their debt assets, has to be
eliminated, because populations - not only the Greeks - are being beaten down by worthless claims.
Cancel those claims. Relieve the nations of the claims of this speculation, these investments in gambling bets,
and an opening is created for internal economic development of European nations and the United States.
The solution, he said, is an international policy of Glass-Steagall banking; agreements among these nations to
implement Glass-Steagall principles. Most important by far: LaRouche said, Restore the Glass-Steagall Act to
force in the United States. That is the driver for this whole effort. That opens up the issuance of national credit for
productivity and development.
LaRouche also addressed the campaign by forces behind German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schuble, to force Greece
out of the euro system.
If Greece goes out, goes back to the drachma, the negotiated value of the drachma can be increased significantly,
and problems solved, he said.
"It is not correct to say that the drachma must collapse in value against the euro. The pressure on Greece is
coming from the London-Wall Street banking system, and the claims of that system are worthless. Its speculation
on unpayable debt has to be cancelled.
The euro will be falling because of its bankruptcy; the value of the drachma against the euro can be maintained,
and may go up.
Again, the critical action is Glass-Steagall in the United States, and force it in European countries.
With that, the United States and Europe can generate national credit institutions, linked to the BRICS new
international development banks, and issue a surge of credit for productive employment.
The Greek Parliament has thus done a service to the future, if we take the right actions now, LaRouche
concluded.

Big Money: Pump And Dump As A Way Of Life
July 2 2015 | From: JonRappoport
Big money: pump and dump as a way of life. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Vampires on Wall
Street and Main Street. Capitalism vs. meta-capitalism
Imagine this: you want to buy and own Product X, which is valued at $10,000. Youre in a rare position. You can
make that product sell for $1. You can do that. Then you can buy it and own it. In fact, you can do that with lots of
products.
Now, instead of products, imagine you can do that with whole companies, with industrial sectors, and even with
large chunks of nations. You can spend $1 instead of $10,000. But wait, theres more. You can re-inflate what you
just reduced to $1. You can make it worth $10,000 again and you still own it.
You can go up and you can go down. You control both sides of the mountain, the upside and the downside. This is
money-management, Globalism-style. This is day-in, day-out manipulation. Its done with the same routine
configurations as making and having breakfast. A few of these configurations are called trade treaties.
- 'The Underground', Jon Rappoport
Lets start with the analogy of the stock market. To boil it down, here is how the game is played by insiders:
They acquire many, many shares of a stock and then they push the price up, up, up, and then they create a top, crash it,
sending the stock price off a cliff to a dismal bottom.
They profit greatly on the way up (pump), and then, selling short (dump), they pile up more profits on the way down.
Getting away with it is like having a license to print money.
But this single pump and dump doesnt have to be the end of the game. As the crashed stock creeps along a new
discouraging bottom, the insiders quietly buy it again, preparing for a repeat cycle - up, up, up, top, top, top, crash, crash,
crash, down, down, down.
Now imagine this pump and dump strategy applied to companies. Better yet, imagine it applied to a number of companies
within a given industry all at once.
This is euphemistically called a bubble.
For instance, the dot-com bubble of the 1990s. The conventional wisdom was, overenthusiastic investors jumped on the
new Internet dot-com bandwagon, put money into every crazy company they could find in this sector, all the companies
were vastly overvalued, and then came the crash.
Of course, this was a false picture. Insiders propagandized the (false) worth of the dot-com sector, pumped the stocks, lured
mad investors and speculators to the table, created a top, and then busted it, causing a collapse.
Then, the insiders bought up these companies (the outfits that had useful technology) for pennies on the dollarand began
a second trip up the ladderthis time with a seriousness of purpose and the intent to create a viable dot-com sector. Which
they did.
The same thing has happened to the genetic sector. Many companies promising breakthroughs possessed no real
science; what they had was a group of shills who drew in investors hoping to make a killing. When those companies failed,
insiders bought the ones that did have some technological promise.
The genetic biotech sector has experienced several such bubbles, and there will be more - because in most cases the
promise of results far outdistances what the science can produce.
The current trade treaties (e.g., the TPP) coming to a vote purposely embody a pump and dump for the near future: look to
the pharmaceutical and robotics-automation sectors for boiling bubbles.
Smaller drug companies will be edged out of the new trade advantages Big Pharma enjoys. Those smaller outfits will crash,
and the big boys will buy some of them up, for pennies on the dollar.
In robotics-automation (for factories), something similar will happen. Certain companies, sensing the revolution is at hand,
will overextend themselves with huge loans, only to discover their profits dont justify the expenditures for reconfiguring their
assembly lines. They, too, will drown in red ink, and their mega-competitors will buy them up and initiate a far more
successful robotics revolution.
The bigger swallow the smaller.
Its all about pump and dump, bubble, bubble, rise and fall, and absorption into the greater body.
The Globalist plan to a T. Put more and more assets, human talent, and money into fewer and fewer hands. Top-down
economic rule.
What Im describing in this article could be called meta-capitalism. Thats my name for it. Capitalism is merely the voluntary
exchange of money for non-harmful goods and services. But at the meta-level, you have predators, on their perches, looking
down at the marketplace and devising concealed ways to manipulate the global flows of money and assets.
Consider the 2007-8 financial crash. Many people had bought houses with what they thought were fixed-rate mortgages. But
they didnt realize that only the monthly payments were fixed. That was the come-on, the con. Lurking below the surface, in
the small print, was another part of the loan theyd taken: it was for the down payment, and that piece was variable.
So when banks closed in on home owners and told them their down payments were suddenly far higher nowthe roof fell
in. The home owners couldnt make their payments. They were foreclosed on.
At the same time, all these mortgages were being traded like stocks - packaged and rolled up into bundles.
The insiders, of course, knew this trading operation was a bubble; theyd created the bubble and they knew the bundles
were faulty, to say the least. Theyd pushed the trading prices higher; and they sold and got out with their profits before the
crash.
Some of the insiders were the banks who had been both offering the faulty mortgages and trading the bundles.
These banks knew they were too big to fail. They knew the federal government would bail them out.
A highly successful variation of pump and dump.
In turn, the federal government knew it could rely on the Federal Reserve to keep inventing money out of thin air.
So rescuing the banks was no problem.
Very, very cozy. Yes, there was a bit of stare-down, high-stakes, poker-bluffing along the way, but the ultimate outcome was
assured.
Part of that outcome was: banks now held many properties on which theyd foreclosed. This is was made to appear as a
negative factor for the banks - but if you know youre going to be bailed out, its really not.
In fact, you could say the entire crash of 2007-8 was a massive distraction, engineered in order to cover up a much larger,
ongoing, long-term Globalist crime: the overwhelming leakage of jobs from industrial countries to underdeveloped countries
where slave labor, land, and resources were available.
That job transfer is the meat and potatoes of Globalism. This is what all the trade treaties guarantee. This is how free-
floating international mega-corporations continue their plundering operations.
And of course, the result is disastrous unemployment in the industrial nations. Anyone with a few active brain cells can see
that.
Therefore, a cover story needed to be adopted and promoted. A story that would shift blame away from the mega-
corporations and the Globalist trade treaties (e.g., NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT).
And that cover story was the 2007-8 crash.
It pointed the accusing finger for the horrendous and ongoing job losses at the home-lending crisis.
Big banks took press attacks on the chin, with a bland smile. They absorbed the name-calling in high style, as the federal
government handed them trillions of dollars.
This is the game. No-limit holdem, where the banks and the Fed Reserve and the federal government and the mega-
corporations are the house casino and decide, at any given moment, how much money they want to invent, show, hide,
collect, transfer, and pay out.
Nice work if they can get it, and they can.
That is why governments cant truthfully assure their citizens a better job picture in the future. They can certainly mouth
share and care sentiments while laughing up their sleeves. They can crow about the rise of a more tolerant progressive
culture and correcting past inequalities. But that is just window dressing meant, again, to distract from the ongoing plunder.
Cabal Markets Plunge As Greeks Scream We Dont Owe, We Wont Sell, We Wont

Stock markets worldwide are plunging just by the virtue of the Greeks unwillingness to bite the

Greece crisis: markets begin to tumble as investors flee
Share prices began to plummet across Asia on Monday as hopes dwindled for a resolution to the Greek debt crisis.
Japans Nikkei stock average briefly fell by more than 500 points in early trading, while the euro dropped more than
3% to 133.80 yen, its lowest level for five weeks. The common currency fell as much as 1.9% to $1.0955, its lowest
level in almost a month.
All banks closed for at least a week, cash withdrawals capped at 60 a day and foreign money transfers banned ahead of
referendum on bailout terms
The Nikkei fell 2.1%, while MSCIs broader index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 0.8%. US stock futures
dived 1.8%, hitting a three-month low, while US Treasuries futures price gained almost two points.
More than $35bn was wiped off the Australian stock market in the first hour of trading on Monday as investors brace for an
increasingly likely Greek exit from the eurozone.
Turmoil in Asia had been widely expected after the failure of 11th-hour talks in Europe over the weekend raised the
possibility of a Greek exit from the eurozone.
The embattled country looks set to default on its debt repayment this week, forcing Athens to impose capital controls to halt
bank runs. On Monday morning Greeks will find their savings blocked and their banks closed for a week following a
weekend that has shaken Europes single currency. The Athens Stock Exchange will not open on Monday either.
Despite the Chinese central banks monetary easing on Saturday, investors were seen flocking to safer assets on the
spectre of an unprecedented debt default.
In Tokyo, manufacturers that rely on European sales were among the hardest-hit by early losses, along with banks and
insurance companies. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was down 37.67
points, or 2.26%, to 1,629.36.
The US Treasury secretary, Jack Lew, stressed the need for Greece to take necessary steps to maintain financial stability
ahead of the referendum. He told the Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, on Sunday that Athens and its creditors needed
to continue working toward a resolution ahead of a Greek referendum on 5 July on the creditors demands for austerity.
A cash-strapped Greece looks certain to miss its debt repayment on Tuesday as Greeces European partners shut the door
on extending a credit lifeline after Greeces surprise move to hold a referendum on bailout terms.
Fear of an imminent default by Greece hit Greek banks, a major buyer of Greek government bills, triggering bank runs at
weekend and forcing Tsipras to announce a bank holiday on Monday and capital controls.
In a brief televised address to the nation, Tsipras threw the blame onto the leaders of the eurozone. But he did not say how
long the banks would remain shut, nor did he give details of how much individuals and companies would be allowed to
withdraw once they reopened.
All over Athens people queued at cash machines, particularly outside National Bank branches because the National Bank
supplies the banknotes, and lots of other Greek banks, by midnight on Sunday, had no more of those.

Secret War On Cash: Discussions At Bilderberg Centered Around Capital Controls,
Abolition of Cash
June 17 2015 | From: SHTFplan
According to some, a very quiet stealth war on cash has begun. May your bank account, debit card
and gold reserves be on guard
The worlds elite met in secret this week at the Bilderberg meeting, set at a luxury resort in Telfs-Buchen, Austria.
Investigative journalists have confirmed that the private discussions among top power brokers across the globe
include arrangements to restrict currency and penalize or ultimately even ban cash.
Read the attendees list real power and wealth are running with the movers and shakers. With bankers, equity giants and
financiers all present, the agenda is quite in line with recent reports, aslong reported.

The initiation of an coup on cash is underway:
The powerful Bilderberg Group will discuss imposing more capital controls on average citizens while HSBC, whose
Group Chairman will attend the conference, is set to pay more than $40 million dollars for illegal money laundering
involving arms dealers and helping the wealthy avoid taxes.
Its very much a case of do as we say, not as we do.

[]
Ironic therefore it is that HSBC representatives will be party to discussions at Bilderberg centered around moving
towards the abolition of cash and the imposition of capital controls on ordinary citizens in the name of stopping tax
fraud and allowing more state control over peoples finances.
During the conference, Bilderberg will set the consensus for green lighting economic restrictions under the
justification of stopping financing for terror groups like ISIS. Bilderberg will also discuss new controls on the sale of
precious metals throughout Europe.
Numerous influential voices have recently called for eliminating physical currency altogether, giving central banks
and governments the power to directly control your finances under the justification of preventing an economic
collapse and bank runs.
If it involves too big to jail bankers and secrecy, it cant be good for ordinary people.
If cash is criminalized, then everyone will be forced to be on the grid, and using what is essentially a digital currency inside a
system controlled and watched from beginning to end by the banking industry.
The insiders will then have total power, information on and profit from every transaction.
That, surely, is the mark of the beast a world in which free men are outlawed, and compliance is the only acceptable form
of payment.

Reserve Bank Funding Agreement Ratified - But Who / What The Hell Is "The Reserve
Bank Of New Zealand"?
June 6 2015 | From: WakeUpKiwi / ReserveBankOfNewZealand
A new five-year Funding Agreement for the Reserve Bank was ratified by Parliament yesterday. But
what is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, who owns it - and why are they selling us our own
currency?
What Do Central Banks Actually Do? Central banks all make convoluted cover statements in order to justify their
existence. That is not to say that all of the staff are in on it, but those who are at the top of each reserve bank know
exactly what they are doing.
They are either part of the cabal, or minions of it under bribery and or threat.
What Central Banks Say They Do:
Ensure that, throughout the economy, money works as well as possible as a mechanism for making transactions,
storing value, and keeping account.
The Bank also promotes a sound and efficient financial system. To fulfil these functions, the Bank carries out a
wide range of tasks, from operating monetary policy to monitoring and supervising the health of the financial
system, maintaining foreign reserves, operating in the financial markets if necessary, and issuing currency as
required.
Quote excerpt from The Reserve Bank of New Zealand
The last thing that any of them want you to know is that they are not part of the government (governments are all actually
corporations anyway and as such cannot govern legally but that is another paper) as central banks are in fact privately
owned. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is officially listed as an asset of the crown, which is effectively the banksters
which run the City of London not the Queen of England.
The first and most important question that arises with regards to central banks is:
Why is a privately owned and run banking institution issuing and controlling
the currency of my country?
It is interesting to note that within the very large Reserve Bank of New Zealand coat of arms, located on the wall to the rear
of the reception area of said central bank, you will see a red shield. As we know, in old German, red shield translates to
Roth-schild (red-shield).
What Central Banks Actually Do:
Central banks do more harm than good. From obscuring the true cost of credit to causing confusion about good
investments, central bankers end up papering over economic problems. And when they send the wrong messages to savers
and consumers trying to coordinate their plans, boom and bust cycles lengthen and worsen.
In effect, the central banks have almost complete control of a countrys economy, and can create and control boom
and bust cycles.
There are a number of ways the Reserve Bank helps to maintain financial stability, including through the
regulation and supervision of banks, non-bank deposit takers and insurers, promoting the smooth operation of
financial markets, and building sound financial market infrastructure.
It is also important to understand developments that could make the financial system vulnerable to instability, and
respond appropriately. The Reserve Bank conducts regular surveillance of financial risks and reports on its
assessments in the six-monthly Financial Stability Report.
This is an important point, because it ties us back into our shareholder investigation:
All of the financial institutions of virtually every country are registered with, regulated by and supervised by their local central
bank.
Central banks and central bankers are the reason why the world is in economic and martial turmoil and why many
millions of people languish in the pits of poverty and financial ruin.
Central banks are privately owned or controlled cartels which covertly run the world.
They operate for the exclusive profit of a small group of powerful families whose death grip on global finance can be traced
back generations. They control governments, monarchies, and multinational organisations like the UN, the WHO, the World
Bank, and a host of other influential bodies.
Using massive wealth accumulated fraudulently over generations theyve managed to co-opt or illicitly influence political
parties, trade unions, the law courts, medical associations, religious hierarchies, universities & academies, mass media, and
the like, to promote their policies and to eradicate all opposition.
They wield their inordinate global control by indoctrinating chosen leaders into powerful secret societies and insider groups
like the Freemasons, Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, just to name a few.
Three essential pillars of their domination of the world economy and global finance are the World Bank, the International
Monetary Fund, and the Bank for International Settlements. The first two were set up at Bretton Woods in 1944 to plunder
and loot and enrich a handful of bankster dynasties.
The latter is known as the central bank to the worlds central banks. It was set up by British and American banksters in
conjunction with the Nazis in 1930 and was guilty of appalling war crimes for which it was never ever punished.
We were fortuitously alerted to the plot of Rothschild-controlled central banks ruling the world by Professor Caroll Quigley in
his 1966 book, Tragedy And Hope, a scholarly tome of almost 1,400 pages. Quigley was an insider in the exclusive world of
the corporatists and the international bankers and had access to private research material. For some unknown reason, the
original publisher Macmillan only printed 9,000 copies.
Professor Quigley wrote:
The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of
financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the
world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in
concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.

And so the Reserve Bank of "New Zealand" press release continues;
The Funding Agreement ensures that the Bank has sufficient resources to meet its expanded role and obligations
while maintaining tight control of costs, Governor Graeme Wheeler said.
The Funding Agreement is an important instrument for maintaining the Banks operational independence in that it
provides multi-year funding and specifies how much of the Banks income may be used to fund the Banks
operating expenses. The new Funding Agreement is valid from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020.
The new agreement sees the Banks core operating expenditure increase marginally from $49.0 million in 2014-15
to $49.6 million in 2015-16, and then increase to $52.1 million by the final year, 2019-20. Funding for the direct
costs of issuing banknotes and coins is separate within the agreement, and amounts to $14.4 million in 2015-16
and $20.2 million in 2016-17 before reducing to $11.1 million in 2019-20.
The increase in core operating expenditure over the five years is modest, averaging 1.3 percent per year, said Mr
Wheeler.
The Bank has a number of important projects underway, including those related to issuance of new banknotes,
development of the Banks treasury systems, and an upgrade of its payment and settlement systems.
Mr Wheeler said the new Funding Agreement has been made in an environment of fiscal constraint. Productivity
improvements, which include some reductions in staffing levels that began in February 2015, will restrain the
growth in costs.
The Reserve Banks responsibilities have expanded considerably since 2008, including prudential supervision of
insurers and anti-money laundering supervision, and it has developed its macro-prudential policy capabilities and
toolkit.
New Zealanders are taxed to fund the Corporate New Zealand Government [controlled by "The Crown'];
[The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has the government of New Zealand registered as a
corporation under the name of HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND IN RIGHT OF NEW ZEALAND ]
Which in turn funds a privately owned central bank, that then creates the New Zealand dollar -
Which then proceeds to sell that currency to the New Zealand Corporate Government - WITH INTEREST CHARGED;
The hoodwinked New Zealand public are mostly oblivious to this and are fiscally raped by a malfeasant, degenerate
would-be 'elite ruling class'.
A set of 'leaders' that are so corrupt and compromised that they fall all over one another in their attempts to keep
their hideous transgressions from seeing the light of day; and thereby from being held to account for them.
But the inevitable time of publicised truth, is just about to arrive for these criminals.
And if you are stupid enough to still not see the smokescreen that they have put then shame on you.

Flying Sheep & Dodgy Deals: The NZ Government Paid $11 Million In Taxpayer Funded
Hush Money To An Influential Saudi Businessman To Prevent A Possible Lawsuit
June 5 2015 | From: Actionstation
The Government paid $11 million in taxpayer funded hush money to an influential Saudi
businessman to prevent a possible lawsuit over a false promise the National Party made to the
businessman before they were in Government.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murray McCully, has been caught paying what looks very much like a bribe to a Saudi
businessman called Hamood Al-Ali Al-Khalaf whose live sheep exporting business was damaged by this countrys
ban on such exports back in 2003.
This demands a serious investigation by the Auditor-General to get to the bottom of what looks very much like a
bribe.
Sign and share to demand an investigation into why $11 million was paid by the Minister to a Saudi businessman.
When the Labour-led government first banned the live exports of sheep, Al Khalaf allegedly contacted the National Party to
express his opposition to the change. The National Party then made a promise to Al Khalaf that once they were in
Government they would reverse the ban on live exports.
When National won the election in 2008, Al Khalaf is said to have invested tens of millions of dollars in New Zealand
farmland and a ship that could transport sheep to Saudi Arabia.
But National didnt change the law.
Using Cabinet papers obtained under the Official Information Act, NBRs Jamie Ball raised a number of questions
about whether proper processes had been followed. He has also uncovered evidence that appears to confirm that the
deal making has been carried out in order to advance negotiations for a trade deal with the Gulf states. [2]
As part of the deal the Minister even flouted NZ law and had 1000 live sheep flown over to the Middle East.
Only the Auditor-General can get to the bottom of this deal with a full investigation to work out how the Minister
can justify this highly unorthodox use of taxpayer money.
The Minister seems to be taking taxpayer money, giving it wholesale to private business in Saudi Arabia in order to smooth
the way for a trade deal. If this is completely true it sets a dangerous precedent for international business.
Ironically, Parliament has just passed the second reading of the Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Legislation Bill [4].
The legislation includes new measures Making both fines and imprisonment available as sanctions for the offence of
foreign bribery.
Sign now and tell everyone that we need a full investigation into this dodgy deal.

Denmark The First Country To Ban Cash

June 5 2015 | From: Pravda
In the last few weeks there has emerged a great deal of chatter in both the alternative and
mainstream media about efforts to reduce the use of cash or ban it altogether - from many different
sources and countries. Denmark looks to be the first to ban cash.
The government has already declared it as part of cost-saving measures. It is directed at taxes securing and
preventing banks from complete collapse that is possible due to bank runs.
People should be ready that they won't be able to pay in cash in stores, restaurants and petrol stations within the
territory of the country in the near future. There will be also considered some measures in order to prevent the capital
flight from other countries. Otherwise, there may be a major capital disturbance unless all nations abolish cash
simultaneously.
This appears to be the big issue that is likely to unfold with the ECM turning point at the end of September 2015.
Pravda.Ru has already reported on the economic totalitarian regime that will lead to the total control of money by the
state. No ability to buy or sell anything without government approval will be provided.
Freedom of movement and travel will be restricted in Rome, if you owe money to the state.
The USA has already introduced passport revocation practice in case you owe the government more than $50,000.

Rule By The Corporations - Paul Craig Roberts

June 5 2015 | From: PaulCraigRoberts
"Free Trade" Agreements = The Corporate Empowerment Act. The Transatlantic and Transpacific
Trade and Investment Partnerships have nothing to do with free trade. Free trade is used as a
disguise to hide the power these agreements give to corporations to use law suits to overturn
sovereign laws of nations that regulate pollution, food safety, GMOs, and minimum wages.
The first thing to understand is that these so-called partnerships are not laws written by Congress. The US
Constitution gives Congress the authority to legislate, but these laws are being written without the participation of
Congress. The laws are being written by corporations solely in the interest of their power and profit. The office of
US Trade Representative was created in order to permit corporations to write law that serves only their interests.
This fraud on the Constitution and the people is covered up by calling trade laws treaties.
Related: Secret TISA Trade Deal Plans Exposed
Indeed, Congress is not even permitted to know what is in the laws and is limited to the ability to accept or refuse what is
handed to Congress for a vote. Normally, Congress accepts, because so much work has been done and free trade will
benefit us all.
The presstitutes have diverted attention from the content of the laws to fast track. When Congress votes fast track, it
means Congress accepts that corporations can write the trade laws without the participation of Congress. Even criticisms of
the partnerships are a smoke screen.
Countries accused of slave labor could be excluded but wont be. Super patriots complain that US sovereignty is violated by
foreign interests, but US sovereignty is violated by US corporations. Others claim yet more US jobs will be offshored. In
actual fact, the partnerships are unnecessary to advance the loss of American jobs as there is nothing that inhibits jobs
offshoring now.
What the partnerships do is to make private corporations immune to the laws of sovereign countries on the grounds that
laws of countries adversely impact corporate profits and constitute restraint of trade.
For example, under the Transatlantic Partnership, French laws against GMOs would be overturned as restraints on trade
by law suits filed by Monsanto.
Countries that require testing of imported food, such as pork for trichnosis, and fumigation would be subject to lawsuits from
corporations, because these regulations increase the cost of imports.
Countries that do not provide monopoly protection for brand name pharmaceuticals and chemical products, and allow
generics in their place, can be sued for damages by corporations.
Obama himself has no input into the process. Here is what is going on: The Trade Representative is a corporate stooge. He
serves the private corporations and will go on to a million dollar annual salary. The corporations have bribed the political
leaders in every country to sign away their sovereignty and the general welfare of their people to private corporations.
Corporations have paid US senators large sums for transferring Congress law-making powers to corporations.When these
partnerships pass, no country that signed will have any legislative authority to legislate or enforce any law that any
corporation regards as inimical to its bottom line.
Yes, the great promiser of change is bringing change. He is turning Asia, Europe, and the US over to rule by the
corporations.
Only those who have sold their integrity for money sign these agreements. Apparently Merkel, a Washington vassal, is one
of them.
According to news reports, both of Frances main political parties have sold out to the corporations, but not Marine Le Pens
National Front Party. In the last EU elections, the dissident parties, such as Le Pen and Farages, prevailed over the
traditional parties, but the dissidents are yet to prevail in their own countries.
Marine Le Pen objects to the secrecy of the agreements that establishes corporate rule. As Europes only leader, she
speaks:
It is vital that the French people know about TTIPs content and its motivations in order to be able to fight it.
Because our fellow countrymen must have the choice of their future, because they should impose a model for
society that suits them, and not one forced by multinational companies eager for profits, Brussels technocrats
bought by the lobbies, and politicians from the UMP [party of former president Nicolas Sarkozy] who are
subservient to these technocrats.
It is vital that the American public also know, but not even Congress is permitted to know.
How does it work, this freedom and democracy that we Americans allegedly have, when neither the people nor their
elected representatives are permitted to participate in the making of laws that enable private corporations to negate the law-
making functions of governments and place corporate profit above the general welfare?
Bankers Plan Secret London Meeting To End Cash

June 1 2015 | From: TheEventChronicle
Economist Martin Armstrong claims there is a secret meeting to end cash set to take place in
London before the end of the month involving representatives from the ECB and the Federal
Reserve.
Armstrong, who is known for successfully predicting the 1987 Black Monday crash as well as the 1998 Russian
financial collapse, expressed his shock that no news outlet has reported on this upcoming conference.
I find it extremely perplexing that I have been the only one to report of the secret meeting in London. Kenneth
Rogoff of Harvard University, and Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup, will address the central banks to
advocate the elimination of all cash to bring to fruition the day when you cannot buy or sell anything without
government approval, writes Armstrong.
When I googled the issue to see who else has picked it up, to my surprise, Armstrong Economics comes up first.
Others are quoting me, and I even find it spreading as far as the Central Bank of Nigeria, but I have yet to find any
reports on the meeting taking place in London, when my sources are direct.
Armstrong first brought attention to the alleged meeting earlier this month when he revealed that representatives from the
Federal Reserve, the ECB as well as participants from the Swiss and Danish central banks would all be attending a major
conference in London at which Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University, and Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup,
would give presentations.
Kenneth Rogoff, Professor of Economics at Harvard University.
We better keep one eye open at night for this birth of a cashless society that is coming in much faster than
expected. Why the secret meeting? Something does not smell right here, concludes Armstrong.
Discussions and moves towards banning cash have repeatedly cropped up in recent weeks.
Willem Buiter, who Armstrong claims is speaking at the secret meeting, recently advocated abolishing cash altogether in
order to solve the worlds central banks problem with negative interest rates.
Last year, Kenneth Rogoff also called for abolishing physical currency in order to stop tax evasion and illegal activity as
well as preventing people from withdrawing money when interest rates are close to zero.
Striking a similar tone, former Bank of England economist Jim Leaviss penned an article for the London Telegraph earlier
this month in which he said a cashless society would only be achieved by:
forcing everyone to spend only by electronic means from an account held at a government-run bank, which would
be, monitored, or even directly controlled by the government.
Big banks in both the United Kingdom and the U.S. are already treating the withdrawal or depositing of moderately large
amounts of cash as a suspicious activity.
Reports emerged in March of how the Justice Department is ordering bank employees to consider calling the cops on
customers who withdraw $5,000 dollars or more.
Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist at Citigroup.
Meanwhile in France, new measures are set to come into force in September which will restrict French citizens from making
cash payments over 1,000 euros. Armstrong suggests that financial police could enforce this new law by, searching
people on trains just passing through France to see if they are transporting cash, which they will now seize.
As Armstrong notes, banning cash in order to eviscerate what little economic freedoms people have left to avoid disastrous
Keynesian central bank policy is nothing short of economic totalitarianism.
In the mind of an economic tyrant, banning cash represents the holy grail, writes Michael Krieger. Forcing the
plebs onto a system of digital fiat currency transactions offers total control via a seamless tracking of all
transactions in the economy, and the ability to block payments if an uppity citizen dares get out of line.
Greece Is At Breaking Point; Grexit Will Trigger ECB Demise
May 29 2015 | From: GeoPolitics / DavidStockman
Graccident Will Trigger The Demise Of The ECB And The Worlds Toxic Regime Of Keynesian
Central Banking
Three days ago, Greece interior ministry admitted it wont have money to pay its June obligations to the IMF. A
sizable $1.8 billion needed to be raised and from the looks of it, nobody in the EU is willing to kick the can one
more time.
During the G7 Summit later this week, the United States is anticipated to put pressure on the Eurozone to provide the
Greeks some leeway or else it will turn to Russia.
Whatever the case, the entire EU economy is already freezing and the imminent Grexit will only makes matter worse for the
single currency.
Graccident Will Trigger The Demise Of The ECB And The Worlds Toxic Regime Of Keynesian
Central Banking
It is not surprising that in a few short months Yanis Varoufakis has proven himself to be a thoroughgoing Keynesian statist.
After all, what would you expect from an economics PhD who co-authored books with Jamie Galbraith? The latter never saw
an economic malady that could not be cured with bigger deficits, prodigious printing press stimulus and ever more intrusive
state intervention and redistribution.
In what is apparently a last desperate game theory ploy, however, Varoufakis has done his countrymen, Europe and the
world a favor. By informing his Brussels paymasters that they must continue to subsidize his bankrupt Greek state because
it is the only way to preserve the European Project and vouchsafe the Euro, the Greek Finance minister blurted out the truth
of the matter, albeit perhaps not intentionally:
It would be a disaster for everyone involved, it would be a disaster primarily for the Greek social economy, but it
would also be the beginning of the end for the common currency project in Europe, he said.
Whatever some analysts are saying about firewalls, these firewalls wont last long once you put and infuse into
peoples minds, into investors minds, that the eurozone is not indivisible, he added.
He sure got that right. People who believe in democracy and economic liberty anywhere in the world should pray for a
Graccident. During the next several weeks, when $1.8 billion in IMF loans come due that Greece cannot possibly pay, there
will occur a glorious moment of irony for Syriza.
If it holds firm to its leftwing statist agenda and takes Greek democracy back from the clutches of the EU / IMF
apparatchiks, Syriza will strike a blow for democracy and capitalism in one great historic volte-face.
That is to say, defiance of the Germans and the troika would amount to a modern monetary Marathon; it would trigger
a thundering collapse of the ECB and the cancerous superstate regime built upon it in Frankfurt and Brussels - and, along
with it, cast a mortal blow upon the worldwide Keynesian central banking regime, too.
The hour comes none to soon. In a few short years under Draghi and in the context of Europes fiscal and economic
enfeeblement, the ECB has been transformed into a hideous reverse Robin Hood machine. So doing, it has gifted
financial gamblers and front-runners with hundreds of billions of ill-gotten gains in the euro debt markets.
In the days shortly before Draghi issued his whatever it takes ukase, for example, the Italian 10-year bond was trading at
7.1%. So speculators who bought it then have made a cool 350% gain if they were old-fashioned enough to actually buy the
bonds with cash.
And they are laughing all the way to their estates in the South of France if their friendly prime broker had arranged to hock
these deadbeat Italian bonds in the repo market even before payment was due. In that case, Marios front-runners are in the
1000% club and just plain giddy.

Former Governor Of The Bank Of England Says Banking Fraud Is Threat To Civilisation
May 21 2015 | From: PublicCreditOrBust
This document contains perhaps no greater insight of the international private banking pyramid
scam crime ring from perhaps no higher authority.
Former Governor of the Bank of England - Vincent C Vickers - ran the loan book for a global elite for a decade
before coming out against it until the day he died.
The document titled - Economic Tribulation - he wrote in 1939 outlines how the senior elements of private banking had made
record profits from the finance, military, industrial complex of World War 1 and the dangers to humanity if it were to continue.
I am puzzled at the lack of interest when compared to similar articles of evidence I have posted?
I am wondering if it is because the first 4 chapters are a bit heavy for all but the serious students of the history of money and
suggest that others might find it more palatable by reading first the note + forward then start reading from:
Chapter V Democracy or Financial Dictatorship
The full document may be read online here.
This document was published in 1941 - How many lives could have been saved if the warnings and solutions of this man had
got the attention they deserved?
Vincent Cartwright Vickers
"He was a Deputy Lieutenant of the City of London, a director of Vickers, Limited, for twenty-two years, and a director of the
London Assurance from which he resigned in January 1939. In 1910 he was made a governor of the Bank of England, and
resigned this appointment in 1919. Later, he became President of the Economic Reform Club and Institute.
I therefore decided to take the unprecedented course of offering to my readers my own qualifications for putting down before
the British people the very precarious condition of our monetary system as it exists in this country to-day; that this our money
system forms the most important part of our, economic system, and that the nations economic system forms part of our
social system.
Let us acknowledge the truth. Humanity is not suffering from unavoidable circumstances over which it has no control, but
from the results of deliberate and dishonest actions of its own creation and invention.
Fundamental laws, originally designed for the common welfare of the individuals of a community, have been broken
community laws which were never intended to permit the individual to grow fat upon the poverty of others; nor to permit him,
in pursuit of his own personal profit, to base his standard of honesty upon his own flexible conscience, consoling himself with
gratitude that he is within the law.
Nevertheless, just as man has brought, upon himself, or has permitted, this world tribulation, so can he play his part in
undoing the harm that has been done. But how is this possible? How can the ordinary individual change the world?
Shall the man in the street become an expert economist, or

a banker, or a cabinet minister and control the press and
public opinion?
How otherwise can he assist in the regulation of mankind?
What is meant by lack of economic equilibrium, sound

finance, stability of foreign exchanges, currency
restrictions, the creation of credit, the inverted pyramid of
credit, and a host of other such phrases?
They smell of long study, special technical ability, and great

learning. Surely, then, it is commonly felt, it is better that
ordinary individuals should leave economics to the
economists, finance to the bankers, and national policy to
the politicians?
But, alas, that is exactly what we have for too long been
doing. Look at the result! The experts have hopelessly
failed. What is needed is a little less economics and a little
more common sense.
Although it is the money system which is to be accused of

dishonesty, those who use and depend upon a dishonest
system, knowing that system to be dishonest, cannot
themselves be regarded as honest men.
Moreover, it may be that the present system, which international finance has forced our democratic government to adopt,
uphold, and protect by every possible means, has undermined the character of the people and forced them to alter their
definition of the word honesty so that it may be made to comply more nearly with modern practice.
No greater threat to humanity and the progress of civilisation can be conceived than the general spread of the Hitler regime
of brute force. To crush out that regime for all time even if it stood alone as our sole war aim, would seem enough in itself
without the necessity of searching for other objectives.
Although we recognise how serious and how immense is the task that we have undertaken, the vast majority of us gain
added strength from the knowledge that righteousness and justice are on our side. The nation has reached a state of
preparedness, both mentally and physically, both for offence and defence, which will render the sacrifices and hardships and
swift calamities that we must inevitably endure powerless to divert it from the set course which it has determined to pursue to
the end.
Yet even then, even when this first great objective shall have been gained, our labours will by no means be over. There is
still a long way to go before we can begin to contemplate that promised land of peace and justice for mankind which no
destructive war can ever of itself attain, and there remains vital work of preparation and reconstruction at home which cannot
be neglected or delayed.
Unless we can contrive to design and establish an improved and reformed financial system, which is the first essential
towards a new and better economy in our own country, no satisfactory outcome of the war is possible; for where there is still
widespread injustice and discontent there can be no ending to that war, unless it be a tangle of internal revolts and
revolutions.
How can we presume to hold up our own social System as a pattern for other nations to follow, whilst it breeds selfishness,
unrest, and dishonest competition amongst our own people, and whilst it is dominated by a decadent financial system in
which we possess an ever-diminishing confidence and which is not even under the unbiased control or management of
Government chosen by the will of the people?
How can we hold out to the German people or to the world, the promise of justice under a new and better economic system
that will eliminate poverty, malnutrition, and unemployment, whilst no such system exists, and whilst our own system is still
permeated with these same evils?
On the other hand it is unthinkable that we should pretend to ourselves that we can, first of all, and by the successes of our
arms, create in Germany an economic vacuum and, having done so, compel her to adopt a money lending system of
international finance, designed for the benefit of international financiers who will become more and more anxious to preserve
their monopoly and their immunity from governmental control.
Are we now fighting to uphold freedom and democracy, or are we fighting to uphold and strengthen the dictatorship of
international finance?
The Direction of Future Policy

Stabilisation of the wholesale price level of commodities.
That is to say, a fixed and constant internal purchasing power of money; so that a pound will buy tomorrow what it bought
yesterday; an honest pound, not a fluctuating pound.
And this can be done by so issuing and regulating the volume of available credit and currency that it shall at all times be
adequate to permit of the purchasing power of the consumer being equated with the volume of production; not by limiting the
purchasing power, but by firstly increasing purchasing power more in proportion to the productive capacity of industry.
Any additional supply of money should be issued as a clear asset to the State; so that money will be spent into existence,
and not lent into existence.

Five Major Banks To Plead Guilty To Rigging Currency Markets

May 20 2015 | From: BlacklistedNews
Five major international banks are expected to plead guilty as soon as next week to criminal
charges in the US related to their deliberate manipulation of global foreign exchange markets,
which allowed them to rake in billions of dollars at the expense of retirees, university endowments
and municipalities.
The Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) is one of the oldest, dirtiest banks in existence. In cahoots with the Bank for
International Settlements (BIS) they have illegally mirrored, raped and pillaged the Global Collateral Accounts for
over 75 years. These assets were the primary sources of stolen funding used by the 'elite' Illuminati / Khazarian /
Zionist / Cabal / criminals in attempting to bankroll their 'new world order' into existence.
Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Barclays and UBS are expected to plead guilty to
felony fraud and antitrust charges. They will pay fines totaling several billions of dollars, according to bank and
regulatory officials who spoke anonymously with the New York Times, Bloomberg and Reuters.
Also See: Settlement by 5 Big Banks Consistent With History of Fraud
The effect of the guilty pleas will be essentially zero, beyond the immediate costs of the fines levied on the institutions. As
the Times put it;
life will go on, probably without much of a hiccup.
But we will see.
In the years since the financial crisis, federal regulators avoided bringing criminal charges against banks and their
executives, opting instead for either cash settlements and so-called deferred-prosecution agreements, in which charges are
delayed on the basis of the banks compliance with certain conditions.
In 2012, it became clear that major global banks, including UBS and Barclays, were systematically engaged in manipulating
LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), the benchmark global interest rate on the basis of which hundreds of trillions of
dollars of financial contracts are valued.
In June of that year, Barclays was fined $200 million by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and $160 million by
the United States Department of Justice.
This was followed by UBSs agreement in December 2012 to pay regulators $1.5 billion in connection with the scandal and
an agreement by Deutsche Bank in 2015 to pay $2.5 billion to regulators. Numerous other banks, including Citigroup and
JPMorgan, were fined by European authorities.
UBS was offered a deferred-prosecution agreement in connection with the LIBOR scandal, but broke the terms of the
agreement by manipulating the $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange markets in the subsequent periods.
In late 2014, six banks - JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, UBS, Royal Bank of Scotland and HSBC - agreed to
pay $4.3 billion to federal regulators to settle civil charges.
[In effect these minuscule pay-offs amount to a 'license to defraud', paid in arrears, because word got out]
The investigation charges also had a criminal component, which the Justice Department is now seeking to settle with guilty
pleas from the banks. Unlike some previous cases, however, these guilty pleas are expected to come not merely from the
subsidiaries of the banks, but from bank holding companies themselves.
Financial regulators have released voluminous records in connection with the foreign exchange scandal, showing how
brazenly and openly bank traders discussed rigging currency rates, even as they knew their employers were being
investigated for similar activities with regard to LIBOR.
Despite the unprecedented character of the pleas, the actual impact of the admissions of criminal wrongdoing by the banks
is expected to be next to nothing.
As the Times reports;
Behind the scenes in Washington, the banks lawyers are also seeking assurances from federal regulators -
including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Labor Department - that the banks will not be barred
from certain business practices after the guilty pleas.
In particular the banks are seeking waivers to retain their status as well-known seasoned issuers, allowing them to raise
credit more easily, as well as the ability to operate mutual funds. The Times reports that a majority of commissioners of the
SEC are in favor of granting such such waivers.
In fact, for the biggest corporations, being convicted of a felony is increasingly becoming legally irrelevant, and just one
element of their normal operations. As the Times points out, the guilty pleas are merely an exercise in stagecraft.
One former Justice Department official told the Times that an underlying assumption of the Justice Department is
thatthe bank is not a criminal operation.
But the emergence of scandal after scandal, including the selling of toxic mortgage-backed securities that caused the
financial crisis, the forging of foreclosure documents, widespread complicity in Bernard L. Madoffs Ponzi scheme, money
laundering, and tax evasion by Wall Street testifies to the fact that the banks are, in fact, criminal outfits.
Since taking office shortly after the onset of the financial crisis, the Obama administration has sought not to hold the banks
to account and prevent criminal wrongdoing, but rather to conceal their crimes and, when this becomes impossible, to issue
wrist-slap punishments that allow the banks to go on largely as before.
In these cases, the fines levied by financial regulators remain a cost of doing business, and pale in comparison with the
billions of dollars made by the major banks every year through criminal activities.
The guiding principle of the Obama administration, in the words of former Attorney General Eric Holder, is that the giant
banks are too big to jail. As the Times article explained, prosecutors are mindful that too harsh a penalty could imperil
banks that are at the heart of the global economy.
[Or that their failure would be the death knell of the cabal's already faling control mechanism].
In exchange for their services, top financial regulators are almost universally provided with high-paying positions in Wall
Street after their stints with the government.
Most notably, Ben Bernanke, the former Federal Reserve chairman who funneled trillions of dollars in government funds to
Wall Street, announced last month that he has been hired by Chicago-based hedge fund Citadel LLC.
This followed the announcement in November 2013 that former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner joined the hedge fund
Warburg Pincus.
To this day, not a single executive at any major bank has been criminally prosecuted for helping to cause the
financial crisis, or any of the crimes that followed.
Mega-Banks Are On The Brink Of Failure Again: 'The Damage Will Not Be Contained'
May 15 2015 | From: Sott
The banksters, who nearly tanked the global market in their collective effort to loot the peoples of
the world, are operating out of "larger than ever" big banks.
They are not only "too big to fail," but too big to contain. The derivatives have not been stopped or controlled;
leveraging ratios are still out of control; and bank runs could happen at anytime, subjecting big banks to desperate
calls on cash they would be unable to fulfill; apparently everything they have is loaned out and sometimes
demanded back "each and every day."
The entire thing is a dangerous high wire act that looms over our otherwise ordinary lives with great peril.
The Corporate Reform Coalition (CRC) did a study titled Still Too Big to Fail (PDF) that underscores the dangers of the
current funny money schemes and the fact that even the weak-kneed requirements of the Dodd-Frank "Wall Street Reform
Act" have not been fulfilled.
Big surprise:
"The top six bank holding companies are considerably larger than before, and are still permitted to borrow
excessively relative to the assets they hold," the report states.
"They are dangerously interconnected and remain vulnerable to sudden runs, because they borrow billions of
dollars from wholesale lenders who can often demand their cash back each and every day."
It goes on: "Banks can still use taxpayer-backed insured deposits to engage in high-risk derivative transactions
here and overseas. Compensation incentives fail to discourage mismanagement and illegality, given that when
legal fees, settlements, and fines mount, it is usually the shareholders, not the corporate executives who pay."
And, the report warns, "[s]hould one of these giant banking firms fail again, it appears that the damage will
not be contained."
"Avoiding another meltdown depends on the will of federal regulators to use the new powers they were
granted in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act," said Jennifer Taub, author of
the report and professor of law at Vermont Law School. "If they behave as if they are beholden to the banks, we
will likely face a more severe crisis in the future."
So, we are admittedly completely vulnerable to another devastating economic meltdown... and virtually nothing can stop the
contagion completely pandemic and global in proportions. Brace yourself and breathe.
Among the many other details setting the stage for another market conniption fit and another round of banksters behaving
badly is the Federal Reserve, which is not only set to drop a bomb if it announces a rate increase, but who are scrambling to
keep their power unchecked and unwatched by the public sector.
Washington lawyers are introducing legislation attempting limit the Fed's ability to unleash the floodgates and use
"emergency loans" as a means of pipeline-delivered liquidity for the 'Too Big to Fail Banks' - rightly criticized as a "backdoor
bailout."
This easy money continues today under QE3 and has driven investor interest rates to below 0%, shafting savers,
pensioners, insurance holdings and middle class America in general.
This on-going "emergency" to manipulate the money supply is reaching catastrophic proportions. While no single
act of Congress is going to reverse the magnitude of these economic events, the unprecedented power of the Federal
Reserve undoubtedly deserves scrutiny:
The Federal Reserve's ability to give emergency loans to distressed institutions in a crisis would be restricted
under legislation being prepared by lawmakers who want to stop "backdoor bailouts".
The Fed contained panic during the crisis by offering emergency loans to institutions facing liquidity crunches. But,
after the meltdown, Congress introduced restrictions to prevent the bailout of single struggling entities, while
preserving Fed powers to provide liquidity to groups of firms.
And voices from the Federal Reserve are ready to scream about the sky falling if their power is threatened:
Jerome Powell, a Fed governor, said in February that "it would be a mistake to go further [than the Dodd-Frank
amendments] and impose additional restrictions."
He added: "Because we cannot anticipate what may be needed in the future, the Congress should preserve the
ability of the Fed to respond flexibly and nimbly to future emergencies."
So, everything is at risk. Nothing has changed. Our lives are at risk. And later they will say no one saw it coming, even
though everyone is pointing out how ominous and foreboding things already look.
Comment: While this article is both timely and relevant, do not let it take you into fear. There are efforts afoot on
multiple fronts to mitigate any negative eventuality - if such destructive outcomes are even able to take place.
Why The Powers That Be Are Pushing A Cashless Society

We can't reign-in the banks if we cannot pull our money out of them - awareness is required;
Click here to watch 'Evolution of a Cashless Society (1:49)
Related: The War On Cash: Australia Leads The New Age Of Economic Totalitarianism
Martin Armstrong summarizes the headway being made to ban cash, and argues that the goal of those pushing a cashless
society is to prevent bank runs ... and increase their control:
"The central banks are ... planning drastic restrictions on cash itself. They see moving to electronic money will first
eliminate the underground economy, but secondly, they believe it will even prevent a banking crisis.
This idea of eliminating cash was first floated as the normal trial balloon to see how the people take it. It was first
launched by Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Willem Buiter, the chief economist at Citigroup. Their
claims have been widely hailed and their papers are now the foundation for the new age of Economic
Totalitarianism that confronts us.
Rogoff and Buiter have laid the ground work for the end of much of our freedom and will one day will be
considered the new Marx with hindsight. They sit in their lofty offices but do not have real world practical
experience beyond theory.
Considerations of their arguments have shown how governments can seize all economic power are destroy cash
in the process eliminating all rights. Physical paper money provides the check against negative interest rates for if
they become too great, people will simply withdraw their funds and hoard cash.
Furthermore, paper currency allows for bank runs. Eliminate paper currency and what you end up with is the
elimination of the ability to demand to withdraw funds from a bank.
***
In many nations, specific measures have already been taken demonstrating that the Rogoff-Buiter world of
Economic Totalitarianism is indeed upon us. This is the death of Capitalism.
Of course the socialists hate Capitalism and see other peoples money should be theirs. What they cannot see is
that Capitalism is freedom from government totalitarianism. The freedom to pursue the field you desire without
filling the state needs that supersede your own.
There have been test runs of this Rogoff-Buiter Economic Totalitarianism to see if the idea works. I reported
on June 21, 2014 that Britain was doing a test run. A shopping street in Manchester banned cash as part of an
experiment to see if Brits would accept a cashless society.
London buses ended accepting cash payments from July 2014. Meanwhile, Currency Exchange dealers began
offering debt cards instead of cash that they market as being safer to travel with. The Chorlton, South Manchester
experiment was touted to test customers and business reaction to the idea for physical currency will disappear
inside 20 years.
France passed another Draconian new law that from the police parissummer of 2015 it will now impose cash
requirements dramatically trying to eliminate cash by force. French citizens and tourists will then only be allowed a
limited amount of physical money.
They have financial police searching people on trains just passing through France to see if they are transporting
cash, which they will now seize. Meanwhile, the new French Elite are moving in this very same direction. Piketty
wants to just take everyones money who has more than he does. Nobody stands on the side of freedom or on
restraining the corruption within government.
The problem always turns against the people for we are the cause of the fiscal mismanagement of government
that never has enough for themselves.
In Greece a drastic reduction in cash is also being discussed in light of the economic crisis. Now any bill over 70
should be payable only by check or credit card it will be illegal to pay in cash. The German Baader Bank founded
in Munich expects formally to abolish the cash to enforce negative interest rates on accounts that is really taxation
on whatever money you still have left after taxes.
***
Complete abolition of cash threatens our very freedom and rights of citizens in so many areas.
***
Paper currency is indeed the check against negative interest rates. We need only look to Switzerland to prove that
theory. Any attempt to impose say a 5% negative interest rates (tax) would lead to an unimaginably massive flight
into cash.
This was already demonstrated recently by the example of Swiss pension funds, which withdrew their money from
the bank in a big way and now store it in vaults in cash in order to escape the financial repression. People will act
in their own self-interest and negative interest rates are likely to reduce the sales of government bonds and set off
a bank run as long as paper money exists.
Obviously, government and bankers are not stupid. The only way to prevent such a global bank run would be the
total prohibition of paper money. This is unlikely, both in Switzerland and in the United States because the
economies are dominated there by a certain liberalism to some extent but also because their currencies also
circulate outside their domestic economies.
The fact that but the question of the cash ban in the context of a global conference with the participation of the
major central banks of the US and the ECB will be discussed, demonstrates by itself that the problem is not a
regional problem.
Nevertheless, there is a growing assumption that the negative interest rate world (tax on cash) is likely to increase
dramatically in Europe in particular since it is socialism that is collapsing. Government in Brussels is unlikely to
yield power and their line of thinking cannot lead to any solution.
The negative interest rate concept is making its way into the United States at J.P. Morgan where they will charge a
fee on excess cash on deposit starting May 1st, 2015. Asset holdings of cash with a tax or a fee in the amount of
the negative interest rate seems to be underway even in Switzerland.
***
The movement toward electronic money is moving at high speed and this says a lot about the state of the financial
system. The track record of the major financial institutions is nearly perfect they are always caught on the wrong
side when a crisis breaks, which requires their bailouts.
The fact that we have already seen test runs with theory-balloons flying, the major financial institutions are in no
shape to withstand another economic decline.
For depositors, this means they really need to grasp what is going on here for unless they are vigilant, there is a
serious risk of losing everything. We must understand that these measures will be implemented overnight in the
middle of a banking crisis after 2015.75. The balloons have taken off and the discussions are underway.
The trend in taxation and reduction of cash seems to be unstoppable. Government is not prepared to reform for
that would require a new way of thinking and a loss of power. That is not a consideration. They only see one
direction and that is to take us into the new promised-land of economic totalitarianism."
People cant pull cash out of their bank accounts for political reasons, because theyve lost confidence in the bank, or
because bail-ins are enacted if cash is banned.
The Financial Times argued last year that central banks would be the real winners from a cashless society:
"Central bankers, after all, have had an explicit interest in introducing e-money from the moment the global
financial crisis began
***
The introduction of a cashless society empowers central banks greatly. A cashless society, after all, not only
makes things like negative interest rates possible, it transfers absolute control of the money supply to the central
bank, mostly by turning it into a universal banker that competes directly with private banks for public deposits. All
digital deposits become base money."
The Government Can Manipulate Digital Accounts More Easily than Cash
Moreover, an official White House panel on spying has implied that the government is manipulating the amount in peoples
financial accounts.
If all money becomes digital, it would be much easier for the government to manipulate our accounts.
Indeed, numerous high-level NSA whistleblowers say that NSA spying is about crushing dissent and blackmailing
opponents not stopping terrorism.
This may sound over-the-top but remember, the government sometimes labels its critics as terrorists. If the government
claims the power to indefinitely detain or even assassinate citizens at the whim of the executive, dont you think that
government people would be willing to shut down, or withdraw a stiff penalty from a dissenters bank account?
If society becomes cashless, dissenters cant hide cash. All of their financial holdings would be vulnerable to an attack by
the government.
This would be the ultimate form of control. Because without access to money people couldnt resist, couldnt hide and
couldnt escape.

The TPP Investment Chapter, published today, is dated 20 January 2015. The document is classified and supposed
to be kept secret for four years after the entry into force of the TPP agreement or, if no agreement is reached, for
four years from the close of the negotiations.
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks editor said:
"The TPP has developed in secret an unaccountable supranational court for multinationals to sue states.
This system is a challenge to parliamentary and judicial sovereignty. Similar tribunals have already been shown to
chill the adoption of sane environmental protection, public health and public transport policies.
Current TPP negotiation member states are the United States, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Chile,
Singapore, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand and Brunei.
The TPP is the largest economic treaty in history, including countries that represent more than 40 per cent of the
worlds GDP.
The Investment Chapter highlights the intent of the TPP negotiating parties, led by the United States, to increase the power
of global corporations by creating a supra-national court, or tribunal, where foreign firms can sue states and obtain
taxpayer compensation for expected future profits.
These investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals are designed to overrule the national court systems. ISDS tribunals
introduce a mechanism by which multinational corporations can force governments to pay compensation if the tribunal
states that a countrys laws or policies affect the companys claimed future profits.
In return, states hope that multinationals will invest more. Similar mechanisms have already been used. For example, US
tobacco company Phillip Morris used one such tribunal to sue Australia (June 2011 ongoing) for mandating plain
packaging of tobacco products on public health grounds; and by the oil giant Chevron against Ecuador in an attempt to
evade a multi-billion-dollar compensation ruling for polluting the environment.
The Philip Morris companies' cigarette brands include Pall Mall and Marlboro
The threat of future lawsuits chilled environmental and other legislation in Canada after it was sued by pesticide companies
in 2008/9. ISDS tribunals are often held in secret, have no appeal mechanism, do not subordinate themselves to human
rights laws or the public interest, and have few means by which other affected parties can make representations.
The TPP negotiations have been ongoing in secrecy for five years and are now in their final stages. In the United States the
Obama administration plans to fast-track the treaty through Congress without the ability of elected officials to discuss or
vote on individual measures.
This has met growing opposition as a result of increased public scrutiny following WikiLeaks earlier releases of documents
from the negotiations.
The TPP is set to be the forerunner to an equally secret agreement between the US and EU, the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade
and Investment Partnership).
Negotiations for the TTIP were initiated by the Obama administration in January 2013. Combined, the TPP and TTIP will
cover more than 60 per cent of global GDP.
The third treaty of the same kind, also negotiated in secrecy is TISA, on trade in services, including the financial and health
sectors. It covers 50 countries, including the US and all EU countries. WikiLeaks released the secret draft text of the TISAs
financial annex in June 2014.
All these agreements on so-called free trade are negotiated outside the World Trade Organizations (WTO)
framework. Conspicuously absent from the countries involved in these agreements are the BRICs countries of
Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Important TPPA Update: Not Just Relevant To US - Senator Warren Challenges Obama
Administration To Make Secretive Terms Of TPP Trade Agreement Public
April 27 2015 | From: Sott
Senator explains the real reason why TPP remains so secret, even as Congress begins voting on
measures to ram it through, is because 'if the American people saw what was in it, they would be
opposed to it.'
Visit: itsourfuture.org.nz
Prove it. Let the American voters, the press, and the global public see and read the fine print of this so-called "free
trade" deal.
That's the basic message contained in a new statement released by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) after President
Obama said earlier this week that she and other opponents of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) were "wrong" when it
came to their objections to the pending 12-nation agreement.
"The Administration says I'm wrong - that there's nothing to worry about," Warren wrote in a blog post addressed to
constituents and the general public on Wednesday. "They say the deal is nearly done, and they are making a lot of
promises about how the deal will affect workers, the environment, and human rights. Promises - but people like
you can't see the actual deal."
Warren's statement came as members of the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday eveningdespite an attempt by
Sen. Bernie Sanders to slam the brakes on the process - voted to pass trade promotion authority, or Fast Track, that would
give President Obama and his administration the ability to negotiate the final terms of the TPP (as well as a similar deal with
Europe), while relegating the congressional role to "all or nothing" up-or-down votes on the trade pacts.
Passed by a vote of 20-6, the Fast Track measure received support of seven Democrats on the committee and all but one
Republican. In addition to Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), who co-sponsored the bill, the other Democrats who voted in favor of
Fast Track were Sens. Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Ben Cardin (Md.), Bill Nelson (Fla.), Tom Carper (Del.), Mark Warner (Va.),
and Michael Bennet (Colo.).
In his recent comments, Obama has called the TPP the "most progressive trade deal in history," but critics like Warren have
responded by saying if that is true - if the deal is so great and wonderful - why won't the administration release the
details so the public can see for themselves? Though lawmakers have received numerous briefings and can see draft
versions of the agreement, they are forbidden from disclosing the details of what it contains.
So why hasn't the dealother than through bits and pieces of un-sanctioned leaksbeen made available to the general
public even though corporate interests have had a seat at the table throughout the multi-year negotiating process?
According to Warren, and despite assurances from Obama and others, the reason is simple: "We can't make this deal public
because if the American people saw what was in it, they would be opposed to it."
She continued:
"For more than two years now, giant corporations have had an enormous amount of access to see the parts of the
deal that might affect them and to give their views as negotiations progressed. But the doors stayed locked for the
regular people whose jobs are on the line.
If most of the trade deal is good for the American economy, but there's a provision hidden in the fine print that
could help multinational corporations ship American jobs overseas or allow for watering down of environmental or
labor rules, fast track would mean that Congress couldn't write an amendment to fix it. It's all or nothing.
Before we sign on to rush through a deal like that - no amendments, no delays, no ability to block a bad bill - the
American people should get to see what's in it."
Sen. Warren also appeared on The Rachel Maddow show on Wednesday night to explain her opposition. When mentioned
by Maddow that the White House has now promised that there would be a "public comment period" after the TPP was
approved by Congress but before President Obama signs it, Warren laughed out loud.
"They're asking [Congress] to vote now on greasing the skids," Warren said in response,
"so that we give up any chance to be able to amend it, any chance to be able to block it, any chance to be
able to slow it down. [The White House is saying,] 'Give all that up and then you'll get to see the deal on
the other side.' I just don't think that's reasonable."
With a separate vote on Fast Track scheduled for Thursday in the House Ways and Means Committee, the debate in
Congress - and across Capitol Hill - has now reached a fevered pitch.
In extended comments from the Senate floor on Wednesday, Sen. Sanders explained his ongoing opposition to TPP and his
attempt, though only briefly successful, to slow down the legislative push by TPP proponents who are currently moving as
fast as they can to ram the deal through:
And as Sen. Warren concluded in her latest statement, "We've all seen the tricks and traps that corporations hide in
the fine print of contracts. We've all seen the provisions they slip into legislation to rig the game in their favor. Now
just imagine what they have done working behind closed doors with TPP. We can't keep the American people in the
dark.
Comment: The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement is being negotiated in total secrecy by 12 countries. Despite
the wide-ranging effects on the global population, few people have access to the full text of the draft
agreement and the public, who it will affect most, have none at all.
The secrecy surrounding the terms is a broad hint that the beneficiaries of this agreement will primarily be
transnational corporations and the majority of the global population may well suffer from its effects.
Is the U.S. 'fast-tracking' its way to a toxic nightmare?

Uprooted & Evicted: World Bank-Funded Projects Force Millions Off Their Land
April 24 2015 | From: RT
World Bank ventures in less developed countries are hurting the people the organization has
sworn to protect, with almost four million people across the globe left homeless, forcefully evicted
and relocated as a result of World Bank-funded projects
A probe by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which examined World Bank's records
in 14 countries, discovered that some 3.4 million of the most vulnerable people were forced off their land in the
last decade.
The World Bank has regularly failed to live up to its own policies for protecting people harmed by projects it finances, ICIJ
states as one of its key findings.
The World Bank as well as the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which distributes the funds, have invested $455
billion in nearly 7,200 projects between 2004 and 2013 in the developing world, ICIJ says. More than 400 were confirmed to
have caused the permanent displacement of local communities, while another 550 may have made locals homeless.
An ICIJ analysis found that between 20 and 30 percent of all projects the bank funded from 2004 to 2013 were
deemed likely to cause resettlement, reports summary reads.
The World Bank finances thousands of projects ranging from major oil pipelines and dams to small schools and clinics. In
some countries the organization reportedly closed its eyes to numerous human rights violations. The ICIJ investigation was
surprised to discover that in some instances, the World Bank continued to fund projects in undemocratic states even after
evidence of abuses such as rape and torture emerged.
For instance in Ethiopia, former officials told journalists that the state used millions of dollars from health and education
projects to fund a violent campaign of mass evictions of local populations. Yet despite numerous complaints from human
rights groups and the indigenous Anuak population, the World Bank disputed claims that their money has been misused or
misappropriated.
Kenyan forest conservation project using World Bank cash is claimed to be another example where funds were used to
chase locals out of their ancestral homes.
The 11-month-long ICIJ investigation revealed that most of forced resettlement cases appear to take place in Asia and
Africa. In Asia almost 3 million people were either left homeless or resettled, while in Africa that number stands at over
400,000.
The organizations investment in China resulted in the resettlement of at least 1 million people, the investigation said.
In Vietnam alone some 1.2 million people were displaced during the construction of dams and power plants by the
organization.
Research has shown that millions of people have lost their livelihood and have been pushed into conditions of
poverty because of large hydro-electric dams, environmental and human rights activist and director of Right and
Ecology, Annie Bird, told RT.
It is an investment which has not resulted in furthering the mandate of the World Bank, which is eliminating
poverty.
The full list of affected countries also include Albania, Brazil, China, Ethiopia, Honduras, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Kenya,
Kosovo, Nigeria, Peru, Serbia, South Sudan and Uganda.
From 2009 to 2013, the study found, World Bank Group lenders pumped $50 billion into projects graded highest risk for
their irreversible or unprecedented' social or environmental impact. That numbers, the authors estimate, is twice as much
as the previous five-year span.
ICIJ informed World Bank of their discoveries in March, warning of systemic gaps.
We took a hard look at ourselves on resettlement and what we found caused me deep concern, Jim Yong Kim,
the World Banks president, said in a statement at the time.
One is that we havent done a good enough job in overseeing projects involving resettlement.
The organization also compiled a five page action plan that it said would improve its programs.
We must and will do better, said David Theis, a World Bank spokesman, in response to the reporting teams questions.
As the largest contributor to the Wold Bank, the US government is largely to blame for the organizations shortcomings, Bird
believes.
The Bank could take measures to find alternatives for people who are losing their livelihoods to large
infrastructure projects, it has just never been prioritized, she says.
I think a lot of responsibility for that lies with the member nations, particularly with the United States government
which has the largest share and voting power in the World Bank and therefore sets an important part of the Banks
lending agenda.

Iceland Stuns Banks: Plans To Take Back The Power To Create Money
April 22 2015 | From: GlobalResearch
Who knew that the revolution would start with those radical Icelanders? It does, though. One Frosti
Sigurjonsson, a lawmaker from the ruling Progress Party, issued a report today that suggests taking
the power to create money away from commercial banks, and hand it to the central bank and,
ultimately, Parliament
Cant see commercial banks in the western world be too happy with this. They must be contemplating wiping the
island nation off the map.
If accepted in the Iceland parliament , the plan would change the game in a very radical way. It would be successful too,
because there is no bigger scourge on our economies than commercial banks creating money and then securitizing and
selling off the loans they just created the money (credit) with.
Everyone, with the possible exception of Paul Krugman, understands why this is a very sound idea. Agence France Presse
reports:
Also reported in the Telegraph: Iceland Looks At Ending Boom And Bust With Radical Money Plan
"Icelands government is considering a revolutionary monetary proposal removing the power of commercial
banks to create money and handing it to the central bank.
The proposal, which would be a turnaround in the history of modern finance, was part of a report written by a
lawmaker from the ruling centrist Progress Party, Frosti Sigurjonsson, entitled A better monetary system for
Iceland.
The findings will be an important contribution to the upcoming discussion, here and elsewhere, on money creation
and monetary policy, Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson said.
The report, commissioned by the premier, is aimed at putting an end to a monetary system in place through a slew of financial
crises, including the latest one in 2008.
According to a study by four central bankers, the country has had; over 20 instances of financial crises of different
types since 1875, with six serious multiple financial crisis episodes occurring every 15 years on average.
Mr Sigurjonsson said the problem each time arose from ballooning credit during a strong economic cycle.
He argued the central bank was unable to contain the credit boom, allowing inflation to rise and sparking exaggerated risk-
taking and speculation, the threat of bank collapse and costly state interventions.
In Iceland, as in other modern market economies, the central bank controls the creation of banknotes and coins but not the
creation of all money, which occurs as soon as a commercial bank offers a line of credit.
The central bank can only try to influence the money supply with its monetary policy tools. Under the so-called Sovereign
Money proposal, the countrys central bank would become the only creator of money.
Crucially, the power to create money is kept separate from the power to decide how that new money is used, Mr
Sigurjonsson wrote in the proposal.
As with the state budget, the parliament will debate the governments proposal for allocation of new money, he
wrote.
Banks would continue to manage accounts and payments, and would serve as intermediaries between savers and lenders.
Mr Sigurjonsson, a businessman and economist, was one of the masterminds behind Icelands household debt relief
programme launched in May 2014 and aimed at helping the many Icelanders whose finances were strangled by inflation-
indexed mortgages signed before the 2008 financial crisis.

Another Former IMF Head Arrested: Rodrigo Rato Perp Walked In Madrid
As we reported earlier, the former chief of the IMF Rodrigo Rato, who was succeeded in 2007 by
another scandalous figure, Dominique Strauss-Khan, was recently put under investigation by
Spanish authorities for money-laundering, benefiting from a tax amnesty to repatriate previously
undeclared offshore funds.
This is in addition to at least one previous investigation into his role as chairman of Caja Madrid, the failed savings
bank, and its successor Bankia. And, unlike every single JPM banker pretty much ever, moments ago Rato became
the second former IMF head in several years (following DSK), to be placed under arrest.
From El Pais, google translated:
The former vice president of the Government and former director general of the International Monetary Fund,
Rodrigo Rato, has been arrested after a search of his home, practiced by the Tax Agency at the request of the
Office of Madrid, according to EFE. Rato has left his home accompanied by several officers who have gotten into a
police car waiting at the door of his house in a quiet street in the Salamanca district of Madrid.
Upon his release, he was not handcuffed but one of the officers, introduced him in the car, grabbing the neck.
"Sinverguenza" was one of the few words he was heard during transport.
Then the agents who carried out the registration, for more than three hours, have come out with at least four boxes
of documents. Subsequently, there have been directed by the former minister, the Castell street, where the
former vice president's office and which follows the record. In this building, agents have covered the windows with
cardboard.
According to reported sources of the investigation, the judge had to sign an arrest warrant for former IMF chief
could leave his home in a police car and continue logs out of your home.
The charges are levied on Rato fraud, concealment of assets and money laundering."
While it is notable that Rato apparently did not have enough cash with which to pay off the prosecuting judge and have the
case against him dropped, one wonders what the odds are for Christine Lagarde to complete the trifecta of arrests of people
who are in the one position which has become the most cursed in the New Paranormal world.
Because while the IMF was originally created to pay for "bail outs", in recent years its former heads are far more concerned
with paying just the "bail."
His arrest caught on tape:
Why You Need To Get Your Money Out Of The Banking System: Glitches, Freezes,
Holds, Collapse
April 6 2015 | From: Sott
If ever you needed a better motivation to get your funds out of the bank, this is a clear sign that a
digital clampdown is coming.
Related: The IMF Proposes Global Wealth Confiscation
There are increasing examples of technology failures and stricter bank policies that are keep people from getting
their money.
And they are happening all across the globe.
Ulster Bank in Ireland just made news after customers were locked out of their accounts by a glitch that disabled access to
wage money:
Following a number of complaints from those expecting their weekly and monthly salaries to post, the bank
apologised on Twitter for the glitch.
"We're aware that a number of customers are experiencing delays in receiving credits this morning, our tech team
are working on this at the moment," the bank's customer care account, @UlsterBank_Help tweeted.
I Supposedly the problem is minor, short term and only happening at the one local branch. The bank has apologized for
difficulties.
Unfortunately, the larger picture makes clear that this will happen again somewhere, and it could happen to many
more people.
Even routine maintenance and website updates can be enough to block customers out of their accounts, often without even
giving advanced notice; many credit unions, while offering a better choice, likely hold most of the same policies.
Consumer Affairs.com reported on many customers who've been shut out of their funds due to Suspicious Activities
Reporting including cases where small business owners were considered potentially money launderers for conducting
ordinary business by sending out checks to pay bills and employee salaries:
"I am a sole proprietor with a small business and have my income direct deposited into my checking account at
5/3. 3 days ago I went into the bank to get money orders and they treated me like I was robbing the bank.
After about 40 minutes, they gave me the money orders and unknown to me had placed two half-a-million-dollar
holds on my accounts with them. I was told it looked like money laundering and was treated like I had done
something wrong," she said.
"They won't give me my money and I can't pay my employees nor my bills. They basically stole my money
and I have to fight to get it back."
South Africa just set new rules requiring banks to freeze the accounts of anyone who has the wrong address listed on their
account.
If your bank statements are still being posted to an address that is no longer your residence, your bank account
could be frozen, according to the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC), which has urged
South Africans to update their personal details with their bank.
In terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), banks must have the correct customer information to
ensure FICA compliance. 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) documents include, among others, identity documents and
proof of address.
Similar policies in the United States, many of them established under terrorism laws, already require
banks to automate monitoring and reporting of any suspicious transactions, including any transfers above
$3,000 dollars, large cash withdrawals, all currency exchange activities and dozens of other details about
individual accounts.
The laws even give banks legal immunity from any harm or false imprisonment that may come from false
reporting "suspicious" activities.
As SHTF reported a few days ago, banks have even been ordered to seize cash from customers and alert police over large
cash activities:
The Justice Department has ordered bank tellers across America to contact law enforcement if they suspect your
cash withdrawal may have something to do with illicit activity. There doesn't need to be proof, or any sort of red
flag indicator - merely suspicion by the bank teller processing your transaction is now enough to have you
investigated by authorities.
Via The Sovereign Man Simon Black
What a lot of people don't realize is that banks are already unpaid government spies.
Federal regulations in the Land of the Free REQUIRE banks to file 'suspicious activity reports' or SARs on
their customers. And it's not optional.
Banks have minimum quotas of SARs they need to fill out and submit to the federal government.
A new wave of tech disruptions may even occur, as American consumers step inside of an era of cybersecurity full of hacks,
denials of service, account restrictions, password fails, lockouts and the integration of biometrics for authentication that
ultimately connects billions of people through millions of nodes on a global Internet dominated by corporations and ultimately
regulated by the highly political FCC.
What happens when individuals are locked out of their lives or unable to monitor their accounts due to changing rules and
standards for things like verifications, password retrieval, insufficient funds and suspicious (or misunderstood) transactions
that draw red flags.
Establishing the status quo of strict surveillance and control has played out under a narrative of white and black hackers
battling it out under the new rules of the game for cybersecurity.
"The banks are not only doing this for compliance purposes, but also to minimise customers' exposure to bank
crimes such as fraud, identity theft and cybercrime," Pillay insisted. (source)
Quite simply, banks are required to comply with any and all requests for information, and increasingly, you will be required to
comply with the banks on these policies, including verified up-to-date information on all manner of personal information and
transaction details.
How far will it go?
The Halifax bank in the UK is already running trials to wirelessly verify biometric readings of your heartbeat signature in
order to authorize ATM and bank transactions:
Halifax is believed to be the first British bank to trial technology which will allow customers to prove their identity
through the analysis of their heartbeat.
[...]
Bank customers of the future could wear slender bracelets which measure the intricate "cardiac rhythms" unique to
every person.
[...]
As with today's existing contactless card technology, the bracelet, called a "Nymi", will communicate with a
checkout till or cash machine to allow the customer to pay for goods or draw money.
Keeping your money in banks under these circumstances will make banking convenient only for the most compliant
members of society.
On the other hand, pulling all your money out can already draw suspicions. You are most certainly being watched.
Hence, many people have already opted out of the banking system. As Daisy Luther reported, an estimated 43% of
Americans don't rely on their deposits any more:
This means that 43% of the people who are saving money are not putting it in the bank. This is good news for
those of us who wish people would wake up and see the net being cast around them, but bad news for the banks
that depend on deposit accounts to be able to give out loans and earn interest.
[...]
In an recent interview, alternative asset manager Eric Sprott explains why stashing fiat currency in a bank is a bad
idea:
In my mind the biggest reason to own precious metals is because of the risks in the banking system... you
get nothing for putting your money in the bank... and yet when you have your money in the bank you take
on all the risks of a leveraged bank... and I've always thought it's the risks in the banking system that would
cause people to go to gold... (Source: SHTFplan)
Long term, there may be value and necessity in reorienting your efforts in the barter system, and not only being able to
buy and trade goods and services in gold and silver, but in being able to sustain yourself by providing a useful skill or
service.
Transitioning into that could be challenging, but is a worthwhile pursuit in your prepping readiness lifestyle, and a big part of
being self-sufficient, as Tess Pennington's Prepper's Blueprint explains in chapter 53 on the importance of bartering and
community for survival.
Don't say it couldn't happen, lest, we should wait for another MF Global to happen, and customers to take a loss on
their stolen funds.
Comment: So not only are there laws on the books effectively criminalizing one for taking out large amounts of
one's own money, not only are their "glitches" in withdrawing your money electronically, but the whole banking
system itself is dangerously over-leveraged ie., horrible "investments" have been made with your money, which
leaves your money in a very precarious position.

Meet The Secretive Group That Runs The World

March 15 2015 | From: Zerohedge
Over the centuries there have been many stories, some based on loose facts, others based on
hearsay, conjecture, speculation and outright lies, about groups of people who "control the world."
Some of these are partially accurate, others are wildly hyperbolic, but when it comes to the historic record, nothing
comes closer to the stereotypical, secretive group determining the fate of over 7 billion people, than the Bank for
International Settlements, which hides in such plain sight, that few have ever paid much attention.
This is their story.
The following is an excerpt from TOWER OF BASEL: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World by
Adam LeBor. Reprinted with permission from PublicAffairs.
The worlds most exclusive club has eighteen members. They gather every other month on a Sunday evening at 7
p.m. in conference room E in a circular tower block whose tinted windows overlook the central Basel railway station.
Their discussion lasts for one hour, perhaps an hour and a half.
Some of those present bring a colleague with them, but the aides rarely
speak during this most confidential of conclaves.
The meeting closes, the aides leave, and those remaining retire for
dinner in the dining room on the eighteenth floor, rightly confident that
the food and the wine will be superb.
The meal, which continues until 11 p.m. or midnight, is where the

real work is done.
The protocol and hospitality, honed for more than eight decades, are
faultless. Anything said at the dining table, it is understood, is not
to be repeated elsewhere.
Few, if any, of those enjoying their haute cuisine and grand cru wines -
some of the best Switzerland can offer - would be recognized by
passers-by, but they include a good number of the most powerful
people in the world.
These men - they are almost all men - are central bankers.
They have come to Basel to attend the Economic Consultative

Committee (ECC) of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS),
which is the bank for central banks.
Its members as at 2013 included Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve; Sir Mervyn King, the
governor of the Bank of England; Mario Draghi, of the European Central Bank; Zhou Xiaochuan of the Bank of
China; and the central bank governors of Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada, India, and Brazil. Jaime
Caruana, a former governor of the Bank of Spain, the BISs general manager, joins them.
In early 2013, when this book went to press, King, who is due to step down as governor of the Bank of England in June 2013,
chaired the ECC. The ECC, which used to be known as the G-10 governors meeting, is the most influential of the
BISs numerous gatherings, open only to a small, select group of central bankers from advanced economies.
The ECC makes recommendations on the membership and organization of the three BIS committees that deal with the global
financial system, payments systems, and international markets. The committee also prepares proposals for the Global
Economy Meeting and guides its agenda.
That meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning, in room B and lasts for three hours. There King presides over the central
bank governors of the thirty countries judged the most important to the global economy. In addition to those who were present
at the Sunday evening dinner, Mondays meeting will include representatives from, for example, Indonesia, Poland, South
Africa, Spain, and Turkey.
Reserve Bank Governors from fifteen smaller countries, such as Hungary, Israel, and New Zealand are allowed to sit in as
observers, but do not usually speak.
Reserve Bank Governors from the third tier of member banks, such as Macedonia and Slovakia, are not allowed to attend.
Instead they must forage for scraps of information at coffee and meal breaks.
The governors of all sixty BIS member banks then enjoy a buffet lunch in the eighteenth-floor dining room. Designed
by Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss architectural firm which built the Birds Nest Stadium for the Beijing Olympics,
the dining room has white walls, a black ceiling and spectacular views over three countries: Switzerland, France, and
Germany.
At 2 p.m. the central bankers and their aides return to room B for the governors meeting to discuss matters of interest, until
the gathering ends at 5.
In 2015 the chairman of the BIS is Frenchman Christian Noyer seen here with a nice masonic background
King takes a very different approach than his predecessor, Jean-Claude Trichet, the former president of the European Central
Bank, in chairing the Global Economy Meeting. Trichet, according to one former central banker, was notably Gallic in his style:
a stickler for protocol who called the central bankers to speak in order of importance, starting with the governors of the Federal
Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bundesbank, and then progressing down the hierarchy.
King, in contrast, adopts a more thematic and egalitarian approach: throwing open the meetings for discussion and inviting
contributions from all present.
The governors conclaves have played a crucial role in determining the worlds response to the global financial crisis.
The BIS has been a very important meeting point for central bankers during the crisis, and the rationale for its
existence has expanded, said King.
We have had to face challenges that we have never seen before. We had to work out what was going on, what
instruments do we use when interest rates are close to zero, how do we communicate policy.
We discuss this at home with our staff, but it is very valuable for the governors themselves to get together and talk
among themselves.
Those discussions, say central bankers, must be confidential.
When you are at the top in the number one post, it can be pretty lonely at times. It is helpful to be able to
meet other number ones and say, This is my problem, how do you deal with it? King continued.
Being able to talk informally and openly about our experiences has been immensely valuable. We are not
speaking in a public forum. We can say what we really think and believe, and we can ask questions and benefit
from others.
The BIS management works hard to ensure that the atmosphere is friendly and clubbable throughout the weekend, and it
seems they succeed. The bank arranges a fleet of limousines to pick up the governors at Zrich airport and bring
them to Basel.
Separate breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are organized for the governors of national banks who oversee different types and
sizes of national economies, so no one feels excluded.
The central bankers were more at home and relaxed with their fellow central bankers than with their own
governments, recalled Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, who attended the Basel
weekends.
"The superb quality of the food and wine made for an easy camaraderie", said Peter Akos Bod, a former governor
of the National Bank of Hungary.
The main topics of discussion were the quality of the wine and the stupidity of finance ministers. If you had no
knowledge of wine you could not join in the conversation.
And the conversation is usually stimulating and enjoyable, say central bankers. The contrast between the Federal Open
Markets Committee at the US Federal Reserve, and the Sunday evening G-10 governors dinners was notable, recalled
Laurence Meyer, who served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve from 1996 until 2002.
The chairman of the Federal Reserve did not always represent the bank at the Basel meetings, so Meyer occasionally
attended. The BIS discussions were always lively, focused and thought provoking.
At FMOC meetings, while I was at the Fed, almost all the Committee members read statements which had
been prepared in advance.
They very rarely referred to statements by other Committee members and there was almost never an
exchange between two members or an ongoing discussion about the outlook or policy options.
At BIS dinners people actually talk to each other and the discussions are always stimulating and
interactive focused on the serious issues facing the global economy.
All the governors present at the two-day gathering are assured of total confidentiality, discretion, and the highest
levels of security. The meetings take place on several floors that are usually used only when the governors are in
attendance. The governors are provided with a dedicated office and the necessary support and secretarial staff.
The Swiss authorities have no juridisdiction over the BIS premises.
Founded by an international treaty, and further protected by the 1987 Headquarters Agreement with the Swiss
government,the BIS enjoys similar protections to those granted to the headquarters of the United Nations, the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and diplomatic embassies.
The Swiss authorities need the permission of the BIS management to enter the banks buildings, which are described as
inviolable.
The BIS has the right to communicate in code and to send and receive correspondence in bags covered by the same
protection as embassies, meaning they cannot be opened.
The BIS is exempt from Swiss taxes. Its employees do not have to pay income tax on their salaries, which are usually
generous, designed to compete with the private sector.
The general managers salary in 2011 was 763,930 Swiss francs, while head of departments were paid 587,640 per annum,
plus generous allowances. The banks extraordinary legal privileges also extend to its staff and directors.
Senior managers enjoy a special status, similar to that of diplomats, while carrying out their duties in Switzerland, which
means their bags cannot be searched (unless there is evidence of a blatant criminal act), and their papers are inviolable.
The central bank governors traveling to Basel for the bimonthly meetings enjoy the same status while in Switzerland. All bank
officials are immune under Swiss law, for life, for all the acts carried out during the discharge of their duties. The bank is a
popular place to work and not just because of the salaries.
Around six hundred staff come from over fifty countries. The atmosphere is multi-national and cosmopolitan, albeit very Swiss,
emphasizing the banks hierarchy. Like many of those working for the UN or the IMF, some of the staff of the BIS, especially
senior management, are driven by a sense of mission, that they are working for a higher, even celestial purpose and so
are immune from normal considerations of accountability and transparency.
The banks management has tried to plan for every eventuality so that the Swiss police need never be called. The BIS
headquarters has high-tech sprinkler systems with multiple back-ups, in-house medical facilities, and its own bomb shelter
in the event of a terrorist attack or armed conflagration.
The BISs assets are not subject to civil claims under Swiss law and can never be seized.
The BIS strictly guards the bankers secrecy. The minutes, agenda, and actual attendance list of the Global Economy
Meeting or the ECC are not released in any form. This is because no official minutes are taken, although the bankers
sometimes scribble their own notes.
Sometimes there will be a brief press conference or bland statement afterwards but never anything detailed. This tradition of
privileged confidentiality reaches back to the banks foundation.
The quietness of Basel and its absolutely

nonpolitical character provide a perfect setting for
those equally quiet and nonpolitical
gatherings, wrote one American official in 1935.
The regularity of the meetings and their almost

unbroken attendance by practically every member of
the Board make them such they rarely attract any
but the most meager notice in the press.
Forty years on, little had changed. Charles Coombs, a

former foreign exchange chief of the New York Federal
Reserve, attended governors meetings from 1960 to 1975.
The bankers who were allowed inside the inner sanctum of

the governors meetings trusted each other absolutely, he
recalled in his memoirs.
However much money was involved, no

agreements were ever signed nor memoranda of
understanding ever initialized.
The word of each official was sufficient, and there

were never any disappointments.
An example of one of the many very dry documents that may be found
on the BIS website
What, then, does this matter to the rest of us? Bankers have
been gathering confidentially since money was first invented.
Central bankers like to view themselves as the high priests of finance, as technocrats overseeing arcane monetary
rituals and a financial liturgy understood only by a small, self-selecting elite.
But the governors who meet in Basel every other month are public servants. Their salaries, airplane tickets, hotel bills,
and lucrative pensions when they retire are paid out of the public purse.
The national reserves held by central banks are public money, the wealth of nations. The central bankers discussions at the
BIS, the information that they share, the policies that are evaluated, the opinions that are exchanged, and the subsequent
decisions that are taken, are profoundly political.
Central bankers, whose independence is constitutionally protected, control monetary policy in the developed world. They
manage the supply of money to national economies.
They set interest rates, thus deciding the value of our savings and investments. They decide whether to focus on
austerity or growth. Their decisions shape our lives.
The BISs tradition of secrecy reaches back through the decades. During the 1960s, for example, the bank hosted the London
Gold Pool. Eight countries pledged to manipulate the gold market to keep the price at around thirty-five dollars per
ounce, in line with the provisions of the Bretton Woods Accord that governed the post - World War II international financial
system.
Although the London Gold Pool no longer exists, its successor is the BIS Markets Committee, which meets every
other month on the occasion of the governors meetings to discuss trends in the financial markets. Officials from
twenty-one central banks attend. The committee releases occasional papers, but its agenda and discussions remain secret.
Nowadays the countries represented at the Global Economy Meetings together account for around four-fifths of global gross
domestic product (GDP) - most of the produced wealth of the world - according to the BISs own statistics.
"Central bankers now seem more powerful than politicians, wrote The Economist newspaper, holding the destiny
of the global economy in their hands.
How did this happen? The BIS, the worlds most secretive global financial institution, can claim much of the credit.
History of the Bank for International Settlements

From its first day of existence, the BIS has dedicated itself to furthering the interests of central banks and building the new
architecture of transnational finance.
In doing so, it has spawned a new class of close-knit global technocrats whose members glide between highly-paid
positions at the BIS, the IMF, and central and commercial banks.
The founder of the technocrats cabal was Per Jacobssen, the Swedish economist who served as the BISs economic adviser
from 1931 to 1956. The bland title belied his power and reach.
Enormously influential, well connected, and highly regarded by his peers,

Jacobssen wrote the first BIS annual reports, which were - and remain -
essential reading throughout the worlds treasuries.
Jacobssen was an early supporter of European federalism. He argued

relentlessly against inflation, excessive government spending, and state
intervention in the economy.
Jacobssen left the BIS in 1956 to take over the IMF.
His legacy still shapes our world. The consequences of his mix of economic
liberalism, price obsession, and dismantling of national sovereignty play out
nightly in the European news bulletins on our television screens.
The BISs defenders deny that the organization is secretive. The banks archives
are open and researchers may consult most documents that are more than thirty
years old.
The BIS archivists are indeed cordial, helpful, and professional. The banks
website includes all its annual reports, which are downloadable, as well as
numerous policy papers produced by the banks highly regarded research
Per Jacobssen department.
The BIS publishes detailed accounts of the securities and derivatives markets, and international banking statistics. But these
are largely compilations and analyses of information already in the public domain.
The details of the banks own core activities, including much of its banking operations for its customers, central banks, and
international organizations, remain secret.
The Global Economy Meetings and the other crucial financial gatherings that take place at Basel, such as the Markets
Committee, remain closed to outsiders.
Private individuals may not hold an account at BIS, unless they work for the bank.
The banks opacity, lack of accountability, and ever-increasing influence raises profound questions - not just about
monetary policy but transparency, accountability, and how power is exercised in our democracies .
When I explained to friends and acquaintances that I was writing a book about the Bank for International Settlements, the
usual response was a puzzled look, followed by a question: The bank for what?
My interlocutors were intelligent people, who follow current affairs. Many had some interest in and understanding of the global
economy and financial crisis. Yet only a handful had heard of the BIS.
This was strange, as the BIS is the most important bank in the world and predates both the IMF and the World Bank. For
decades it has stood at the center of a global network of money, power, and covert global influence.
First unofficial meeting of the BIS Board of Directors in Basel, April 1930
The BIS was founded in 1930. It was ostensibly set up as part of the Young Plan to administer German reparations payments
for the First World War. The banks key architects were Montagu Norman, who was the governor of the Bank of England, and
Hjalmar Schacht, the president of the Reichsbank who described the BIS as my bank.
The BISs founding members were the central banks of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and a consortium of
Japanese banks. Shares were also offered to the Federal Reserve, but the United States, suspicious of anything that might
infringe on its national sovereignty, refused its allocation.
Instead a consortium of commercial banks took up the shares: J. P. Morgan, the First National Bank of New York, and the
First National Bank of Chicago.
The real purpose of the BIS was detailed in its statutes:
to promote the cooperation of central banks and to provide additional facilities for international financial
operations.
It was the culmination of the central bankers decades-old dream, to have their own bank - powerful, independent, and free
from interfering politicians and nosy reporters. Most felicitous of all, the BIS was self-financing and would be in perpetuity.
Its clients were its own founders and shareholders - the central banks.
During the 1930s, the BIS was the central meeting place for a cabal of central bankers, dominated by Norman and Schacht.
This group helped rebuild Germany. The New York Times described Schacht, widely acknowledged as the genius behind the
resurgent German economy, as The Iron-Willed Pilot of Nazi Finance.
During the war, the BIS became a de-facto arm of the Reichsbank, accepting looted Nazi gold and carrying out
foreign exchange deals for Nazi Germany.
The banks alliance with Berlin was known in Washington, DC, and
London. But the need for the BIS to keep functioning, to keep the
new channels of transnational finance open, was about the only
thing all sides agreed on.
Basel was the perfect location, as it is perched on the northern

edge of Switzerland and sits almost on the French and German
borders. A few miles away, Nazi and Allied soldiers were fighting
and dying.
None of that mattered at the BIS. Board meetings were suspended,

but relations between the BIS staff of the belligerent nations
remained cordial, professional, and productive.
Nationalities were irrelevant. The overriding loyalty was to

international finance. The president, Thomas McKittrick, was an
American. Roger Auboin, the general manager, was French.
Paul Hechler, the assistant general manager, was a member of

the Nazi party and signed his correspondence Heil Hitler.
Rafaelle Pilotti, the secretary general, was Italian. Per Jacobssen,

the banks influential economic adviser, was Swedish. His and
Pilottis deputies were British.
After 1945, five BIS directors, including Hjalmar Schacht, were charged with war crimes. Germany lost the war but won
the economic peace, in large part thanks to the BIS.
The international stage, contacts, banking networks, and legitimacy the BIS provided, first to the Reichsbank and then to its
successor banks, has helped ensure the continuity of immensely powerful financial and economic interests from the Nazi era
to the present day.
For the first forty-seven years of its existence, from 1930 to 1977, the BIS was based in a former hotel, near the Basel central
railway station. The banks entrance was tucked away by a chocolate shop, and only a small notice confirmed that the narrow
doorway opened into the BIS.
The banks managers believed that those who needed to know where the BIS was would find it, and the rest of the world
certainly did not need to know. The inside of the building changed little over the decades, recalled Charles Coombs.
The BIS provided the the spartan accommodations of a former Victorian-style hotel whose single and double bedrooms had
been transformed into offices simply by removing the beds and installing desks.
The bank moved into its current headquarters, at 2,
Centralbahnplatz, in 1977.
It did not go far and now overlooks the Basel central station.
Nowadays the BISs main mission, in its own words, is
threefold:
to serve central banks in their pursuit of

monetary and financial stability, to foster
international cooperation in these areas, and to
act as a bank for central banks.
The BIS also hosts much of the practical and technical

infrastructure that the global network of central banks and
their commercial counterparts need to function smoothly.
It has two linked trading rooms: at the Basel headquarters

and Hong Kong regional office.
The BIS buys and sells gold and foreign exchange for its
clients.
It provides asset management and arranges short-term

credit to central banks when needed.
The BIS is a unique institution: an international

organization, an extremely profitable bank and a
research institute founded, and protected, by
international treaties.
The BIS is accountable to its customers and shareholders - the central banks - but also guides their operations. The
main tasks of a central bank, the BIS argues, are to control the flow of credit and the volume of currency in circulation,
which will ensure a stable business climate, and to keep exchange rates within manageable bands to ensure the value of a
currency and so smooth international trade and capital movements.
This is crucial, especially in a globalized economy, where markets react in microseconds and perceptions of economic
stability and value are almost as important as reality itself.
The BIS also helps to supervise commercial banks, although it has no legal powers over them. The Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision, based at the BIS, regulates commercial banks capital and liquidity requirements. It requires banks to
have a minimum capital of eight percent of risk-weighted assets when lending, meaning that if a bank has risk-weighted
assets of $100 million it must maintain at least $8 million capital.
The committee has no powers of enforcement, but it does have enormous moral authority.
This regulation is so powerful that the eight percent principle has been set into national laws, said Peter Akos
Bod. Its like voltage. Voltage has been set at 220. You may decide on ninety-five volts, but it would not work.
In theory, sensible housekeeping and mutual cooperation, overseen by the BIS, will keep the global financial system
functioning smoothly. In theory. The reality is that we have moved beyond recession into a deep structural crisis, one fueled
by the banks greed and rapacity, which threatens all of our financial security.
Just as in the 1930s, parts of Europe face economic collapse. The Bundesbank and the European Central Bank, two of
the most powerful members of the BIS, have driven the mania for austerity that has already forced one European
country, Greece, to the edge, aided by the venality and corruption of the countrys ruling class. Others may soon follow.
The old order is creaking, its political and financial institutions corroding from within. From Oslo to Athens, the far right is
resurgent, fed in part by soaring poverty and unemployment.
Anger and cynicism are corroding citizens faith in democracy and the rule of law. Once again, the value of property
and assets is vaporizing before their owners eyes.
The European currency is threatened with breakdown, while those with money seek safe haven in Swiss francs or gold. The
young, the talented, and the mobile are again fleeing their home countries for new lives abroad.
The powerful forces of international capital that brought the BIS into being, and which granted the bank its power
and influence, are again triumphant.
The BIS sits at the apex of an international financial system that is falling apart at the seams, but its officials argue that it does
not have the power to act as an international financial regulator.
Yet the BIS cannot escape its responsibility for the Euro-zone crisis.
From the first agreements in the late 1940s on multilateral payments to the establishment of the Europe Central Bank in
1998, the BIS has been at the heart of the European integration project, providing technical expertise and the
financial mechanisms for currency harmonization.
European Central Bank - Frankfurt, Germany
During the 1950s, it managed the European Payments Union, which internationalized the continents payment system. The
BIS hosted the Governors Committee of European Economic Community central bankers, set up in 1964, which coordinated
trans-European monetary policy.
During the 1970s, the BIS ran the Snake, the mechanism by which European currencies were held in exchange rate bands.
During the 1980s the BIS hosted the Delors Committee, whose report in 1988 laid out the path to European Monetary Union
and the adoption of a single currency. The BIS midwifed the European Monetary Institute (EMI), the precursor of the
European Central Bank.
Alexandre Lamfalussy, the "Father of the Euro"
The EMIs president was Alexandre Lamfalussy, one of the worlds most influential economists, known as the Father of the
euro. Before joining the EMI in 1994, Lamfalussy had worked at the BIS for seventeen years, first as economic adviser, then
as the banks general manager.
For a staid, secretive organization, the BIS has proved surprisingly nimble. It survived the first global depression, the
end of reparations payments and the gold standard (two of its main reasons for existence), the rise of Nazism, the
Second World War, the Bretton Woods Accord, the Cold War, the financial crises of the 1980s and 1990s, the birth of
the IMF and World Bank, and the end of Communism.
As Malcolm Knight, manager from 2003 - 2008, noted;
It is encouraging to see that - by remaining small, flexible, and free from political interference - the Bank has,
throughout its history, succeeded remarkably well in adapting itself to evolving circumstances.
The bank has made itself a central pillar of the global financial system. As well as the Global Economy Meetings, the BIS
hosts four of the most important international committees dealing with global banking: the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision, the Committee on the Global Financial System, the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems,
and the Irving Fisher Committee, which deals with central banking statistics.
Members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision are shown meeting at the Bank for International Settlements
The bank also hosts three independent organizations: two groups dealing with insurance and the Financial Stability Board
(FSB). The FSB, which coordinates national financial authorities and regulatory policies, is already being spoken of as the
fourth pillar of the global financial system, after the BIS, the IMF and the commercial banks.
The BIS is now the worlds thirtieth-largest holder of gold reserves, with 119 metric tonsmore than Qatar, Brazil, or
Canada.
Membership of the BIS remains a privilege rather than a right. The board of directors is responsible for admitting central banks
judged to make a substantial contribution to international monetary cooperation and to the Banks activities.
China, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia joined only in 1996. The bank has opened offices in Mexico City and Hong Kong but
remains very Eurocentric.
The BIS has opened regional offices in these buildings in Mexico and Hong Kong
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Slovakia (total population 16.2 million) have been admitted, while
Pakistan (population 169 million) has not. Nor has Kazakhstan, which is a powerhouse of Central Asia.
In Africa only Algeria and South Africa are members - Nigeria, which has the continents second-largest economy, has not
been admitted.
(The BISs defenders say that it demands high governance standards from new members and when the national banks of
countries such as Nigeria and Pakistan reach those standards, they will be considered for membership.)
Considering the BISs pivotal role in the transnational economy, its low profile is remarkable. Back in 1930 a New York
Times reporter noted that the culture of secrecy at the BIS was so strong that he was not permitted to look inside the
boardroom, even after the directors had left.
Little has changed. Journalists are not allowed inside the headquarters while the Global Economy Meeting is
underway.
BIS officials speak rarely on the record, and reluctantly, to members of the press. The strategy seems to work.
The Occupy Wall Street movement, the anti-globalizers, the social network protesters have ignored the BIS.
Centralbahnplatz 2, Basel, is quiet and tranquil. There are no demonstrators gathered outside the BISs headquarters, no
protestors camped out in the nearby park, no lively reception committees for the worlds central bankers.
As the worlds economy lurches from crisis to crisis, financial institutions are scrutinized as never before.
Legions of reporters, bloggers, and investigative journalists scour the banks every move. Yet somehow, apart from
brief mentions on the financial pages, the BIS has largely managed to avoid critical scrutiny.
Until now.
Stock Market Rigging Is No Longer A Conspiracy Theory
March 28 2015 | From: NewYorkPost
The stock market is rigged. When I started making that claim years ago and provided solid
evidence people scoffed.
Some called it a conspiracy theory, tinfoil hats and that sort of stuff. Most people just ignored me. But thats not
happening anymore. The dirty secret is out.
With stock prices rushing far ahead of economic reality over the last six or so years, more experts in the financial markets are
coming to the same conclusion even if they dont fully understand how its being rigged or the consequences.
Ed Yardeni, a longtime Wall Street guru who isnt one of the clowns of the bunch, said flat out last week that the market was
being propped up.
These markets are all rigged, and I dont say that critically. I just say that factually, he asserted on CNBC.
Yardenis claim is the most basic one: that the Federal Reserve wont do anything that will upset Wall Street and, in fact, is
doing all it can to help the stock market.
But there are other recent claims that come closer to the bulls-eye, even if the archers dont quite see what they are hitting.
The Wall Street Journal carried an intriguing story on March 11 about how the Bank of Japan was aggressively purchasing
stock funds. (The Journal is owned by News Corp., the parent of The Post.)
"By directly underpinning the market, [Bank of Japan] officials have tried to encourage private investors to follow
suit and put more money in stocks in the hope of stimulating the economy and increasing inflation, read the report
with a Tokyo dateline.
Thats called rigging the market for a higher purpose, or hoping people who can afford to invest in stocks will make lots of
money and spend it. The benefits, Japans central bank believes, will then trickle down to the rest of the economy.
The Journal provided lots of details that I wont get into here. But the paper also presumed that all these central bank stock
purchases were being done on the Tokyo market and that only the shares of Japanese companies were being rigged.
Thats not necessarily the case. The Bank of Japan and other central bankers around the world could easily be
purchasing shares of American companies to help out the US stock market.
And Japan [which is a cabal slave state and cash-cow] could even be doing it with the blessing of Washington, which is afraid
any direct intervention in equities on its part would be discovered by nosy people like me.
Last fall, we learned that one American exchange has made intervention in rigging foreign governments easier and
cheaper to accomplish. In October, it emerged that CME Group, the Chicago exchange that trades options and commodities,
had an incentive program under which foreign central banks could buy stock market derivatives like the Standard & Poors
futures contracts at a discount.
As Ive reported many times, S&P futures contracts are the vehicle of choice for rigging the market. They are a cheap and
very powerful way to cause an artificial buying frenzy.
After the markets sizeable drop on Wednesday the Dow alone lost 292.60 points be on the lookout today for aggressive
S&P futures buying today. It could start in Asia or Europe, but it almost always occurs.
Foreign central banks, of course, really dont need a discount to buy S&P futures contracts. Thats like billionaires clipping
cents-off coupons. But what the CMEs discount tells us is that the Bank of Japan and other central banks are probably
already customers.
So the rigging of US stock markets by foreign entities has likely been going on for some time.
Has the US ever directly rigged the stock market? Im sure it has. The sloppiest attempt seems to have occurred in 2008
during the financial crisis, when Washington was sure our whole financial system was toppling.
Phone logs that I received showed numerous calls between Treasury secretary Hank Paulson and Wall Street banks
Goldman Sachs, in particular that seemed to coincide nicely with stock market rallies.
Unlike the Bank of Japan, Washington would have been coy about rigging the stock market and probably would have used
proxies. The New York Federal Reserve Bank, for instance, would wink and nod at its favorite banks, and trades that turn the
stock market upward would suddenly be made.
Theres another kind of market rigging that is also going on. This is being done by companies themselves.
Since corporate profits and revenues arent growing enough to justify current high stock prices, companies have been
aggressively buying back massive quantities of their own shares.
By doing this, companies reduce the number of their shares owned by the public. This accounting trick boosts the calculation
of profit-per-shares because the numerator of the equation (earnings) remains the same while the denominator (outstanding
shares) is reduced.
Okay, so the markets are rigged. Basically everyone now agrees on that. But should we care?
America was built on capitalism and free and fair markets. Todays markets arent fair. In fact, they are unfair because they
are putting lots of money into the pockets of a small number of Americans.
The bigger problem is this: If stock prices are artificially inflated, nobody can tell what a company is really worth. And banks
are going to be hesitant to lend money to companies with fuzzy valuations.
Prime Minister's Response To TPPA Protests 'Ignorant And Arrogant'

March 17 2015 | From: Yahoo
"The Prime Ministers response to yesterdays [March 7] mass protests against the Trans-Pacific
Partnership Agreement (TPPA) across 23 towns and cities was both ignorant and arrogant", says
Edward Miller, who coordinated the protests for Its Our Future network.
"First, Key says people are being misled over a deal, but he insists the details must remain secret. Then he says
people can trust him not to do anything bad for New Zealand, even though he wont tell them what hes doing."
Miller says:
"The Prime Minister is insulting ordinary Kiwis in communities across New Zealand. People instinctively distrust
secret deals. If the TPPAs really so good for us the Prime Minister needs to release the text now. He wont
because it isnt."
The evidence shows that Key is misleading people about what the deal means for New Zealand, according to Miller.
"There is nothing to suggest there will be real economic benefits to the country. But the leaked texts show that
there are real costs. More expensive medicines, special rights for foreign investors to sue the government, limits
on Internet freedom are all there", says Miller.
"Despite some truly horrendous weather in certain parts of the country, more than 10,000 people attended
yesterdays rallies around the country. New towns came on board and groups like Doctors for Healthy
Trade and medical students associations had a strong presence nationwide. That demonstrates how
incensed Kiwis are that these negotiations that affect their lives are continuing behind closed doors."
The Foul Stench Of Desperation +
Whatever Became Of Economists And The American [Cabal Driven Global] Economy?
March 6 2015 | From: InvestmentResearchDynamics / PaulCraigRoberts
Something is really wrong behind the scenes. The insiders are exhibiting an extreme degree of
desperation to keep the price of gold and silver from trading freely and to keep the stock market
from plunging.
Every time the S&P 500/Dow are in a free-fall, one of the big HFT electronic commications networks (ECNs)
mysteriously breaks.
Today the S&P 500 was down 16 points and falling quickly.
Then the BATS ECN announced that it had to suspend
trading in all of its trade routing systems to the NYSE.
It just so happens that BATS is one of the largest, if not the

largest, electronic communication networks in the world.
This happens every time the stock market goes into cliff-
dive mode. How come it NEVER happens when the S&P
500 is going parabolic to the upside?
The economy is starting to fall apart. The plunging price of

oil is just one indicator.
Retail sales down nearly 1% two months in a row with one

of the months being December, which is historically the best
month of the year for retail sales.
DOWN 1%.
Declines in retail sales are not very common especially

back-to-back monthly declines just under 1%.
It means that consumers are not buying. They are not

buying because they have run out of money.
Revolving credit balances have been rising steadily now since 2011. The rise has begun to accelerate:
Contrary to popular Wall Street myth, consumers dont take out an increasing amount of high-cost credit card debt when they
feel good about the economy.
Since the mid-2000s people have been using credit card debt increasingly to pay for necessities: food, gasoline, etc. Many
will even put their monthly mortgage payment on their credit card.
This is part of the dynamic that lead to the credit market collapse in 2008. Banks are all too willing to issue them to
everyone with less than stellar credit ratings because they can charge 15% (current average APR) on money for
which they are borrowing from depositors for almost 0%.
How do we know that consumers dont feel good about the economy? Because if you review all of recent macro economic
surveys, youll find that they all have sub-indices which measure sentiment or expectations. Those sub-indices in particular
are plunging.
I dont know how much longer they can keep up this absurd charade, but I know when that when they lose control the
collapse will be spectacular.
Whatever Became of Economists and the American [Cabal Driven Global] Economy?
According to the official economic fairy tale, the US economy has been in recovery since June 2009.
This fairy tale supports Americas image as the safe haven, an image that keeps the dollar up, the stock market up,
and interest rates down. It is an image that causes the massive numbers of unemployed [not just] Americans to
blame themselves and not the mishandled economy.
This fairy tale survives despite the fact that there is no economic information whatsoever that supports it.
Real median household income has not grown for years and is below the levels of the early 1970s. There has been no growth
in real retail sales for six years. How does an economy dependent on consumer demand grow when real consumer incomes
and real retail sales do not grow?
Not from business investment. Why invest when there is no sales growth? Industrial production, properly deflated, remains
well below the pre-recession level.
Not from construction. The real value of total construction put in place declined sharply from 2006 through 2011 and has
bounced around the 2011 bottom for the past three years. How does an economy grow when the labor force is shrinking? The
labor force participation rate has declined since 2007 as has the civilian employment to population ratio.
How can there be a recovery when nothing has recovered?
Do economists believe that the entire corpus of macroeconomics taught since the 1940s is simply incorrect? If not, how can
economists possibly support the recovery fairy tale?
We see the same absence of economics in the policy response to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. First of all, the only
reason that there is a crisis is because instead of writing off that part of the debt that cannot be paid, as in the past, so that the
rest of the debt could be paid, creditors have demanded the impossible that all the debt be paid.
In an attempt to achieve the impossible, heavily indebted countries, such as Greece, have been forced to reduce old age
pensions, fire government employees, reduce social services such as health care and education, reduce wages, and sell-off
public property such as ports, municipal water companies, and the state lottery.
These austerity packages deprive the government of revenues and the population of spending power. Consequently,
consumption, investment, and government spending all fall, and the economy sinks lower. As the economy sinks, the existing
debt becomes a larger percentage of the GDP and becomes even more unserviceable.
Economists have known this ever since John Maynard Keynes taught it to them in the 1930s. Yet there is no sign of this
foundational economics in the policy approach to the sovereign debt crisis.
Economists it appears have simply vanished from the earth. Or, if some are still present, they have lost their voices and do not
speak.
Consider globalism. Every country has been convinced that globalism is imperative and that not to be part of the
global economy means economic death.
In fact, to be part of the global economy means death.
Understand the economic destruction that globalism has wreaked on the United States. Millions of middle class factory jobs
and professional skill jobs such as software engineering and Information Technology have been taken away from the
American middle class and given to people in Asia.
In the short-run this drops labor costs and benefits the profits of the US corporations that offshore the jobs, but the
consequence is to destroy the domestic consumer market as jobs that permit the formation of households are replaced with
lowly paid part-time jobs that do not.
If households cannot form, the demand for housing, home appliances and furnishings declines. College graduates return
home to live with their parents.
Part-time jobs hurt the ability to save. People are only able to purchase cars because they can get 100 percent financing, and
more in order to pay off an existing car loan that exceeds the vehicles trade-in value, in a six-year loan. These loans are
possible, because those who make the loans sell them.
The loans are then securitized and sold as investments to those desperate for yield in a zero interest rate world.
Derivatives are spun off these investments, and a new bubble is put in place.
When manufacturing jobs are offshored, the US plants are closed, and the tax base of state and local governments declines.
When the governments have trouble servicing their accumulated debt, the tendency is not to meet their pension obligations.
This reduces retiree incomes, incomes already reduced by zero or negative interest rates.
This unraveling of consumer demand, the basis for our economy, was entirely obvious at the very beginning.
Yet junk economists or hired corporate mouthpieces promised Americans a New Economy that would provide them with
better, higher paying, cleaner jobs to take the place of the jobs moved abroad. As I have pointed out for more than a decade,
there is no sign of these jobs anywhere in the economy.
Why did economists make no protest as the US economy was shipped abroad and deep-sixed at home?
Globalism also devastates emerging economies. Self-sufficient agricultural communities are destroyed by the introduction of
large-scale monoculture agriculture. The uprooted peoples relocate to cities where they become a drain on social services
and a source of political instability.
Globalism, like neoliberal economics, is an instrument of economic imperialism. Labor is exploited, while peoples,
cultures, and environments are destroyed. Yet the propaganda is so powerful that people partake of their own
destruction.
Banks And The Enforcement Of Negative Interest Rates:

The Truth About "Austerity": = Wealth Transfer
February 10 2015 | From: MaxKeiser
Back in London, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss negative savings rates on the way for retail
savers in Europe because banks no longer need deposits nor do they need to make loans - in other
words, they are no longer really banks. This same framework has been laid out in virtually every
other country [including New Zealand] that has been subjected to the Rothschild central banking
system. Be aware.
This is very much worth the watch, and is only 30 minutes long. A prediction Max made two years ago that was then
laughed at by the mainstream media has eventuated as he predicted.
It's time for the people to wake up and stop allowing the currently ruling elite to ride them to impoverishment.
In the second half, Max interviews filmmaker, blogger and author Kerry-anne Mendoza about her new top-selling book
Austerity: The Demolition of the Welfare State and the Rise of the Zombie Economy.

TPPA Would Be Bad For New Zealand - Check Out The Real Story Behind The TPPA
February 4 2015 | From: SumOfUs
Top secret negotiations for the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement are wrapping up in
New York City today. World leaders claim they made major progress - and Prime Minister John Key
has just been reported saying that we could be just months away from passing this devastating
deal.
The TPPA will have massive implications for all of us - handing corporations new powers to sue governments for
passing laws and regulations that protect workers and the environment.
With talks rapidly nearing completion, its more important than ever to understand the problems with this dangerous deal.
Weve teamed up with a group of organizations, including Action Station, to make a video that explains one of the most
serious issues with the TPPA - investor state dispute settlement (ISDS), allowing big corporations to sue governments for
billions.
John Key and other leaders behind the deal know that most people wouldnt like the TPPA if they knew more about
it.
Thats why theyre going out of their way to keep the talks secret - like changing the location of the talks at the last
minute, and stopping media from getting proper information.
The only real facts we have about the deal have come from leaks published online.But heres what we do know: the TPPA
could have a huge impact on our lives. It could make vital medicines more expensive, threaten our Internet freedom, and
make it harder for governments to make laws that protect citizens -- and easier for corporations to do things that help
corporate profits.
Its vital that people get the facts fast -- so we can make our governments to do the right thing.
Russell Norman Starts Talking About The Fraudulent Money Creation System A Month
Ago And Has Just Resigned
January 31 2015 | From: AotearoaAWiderPerspective
Im sure the two have nothing to do with each other but when Russell started to talk about the
fraudulent money creation/interest system in December I thought that we had perhaps finally found
a high profile champion for our cause. Today Russell announces his resignation. Interesting times.
Russel Norman will stand down as co-leader of the Green Party in May, citing family reasons, but will remain an MP.
The statement he made was as follows:
"When you go the bank for a loan, most people think they are borrowing other peoples money, money that those
other people have deposited with the bank after working hard and saving it.
So paying interest for the privilege of using someone elses money seems fair. But as this Bank of England article
says, the majority of money in the modern economy is created by commercial banks making loans.
The remarkable truth is that the commercial banks actually just create the money they lend you. Still seem fair
and reasonable to pay high interest rates for the privilege?"
- Russell Norman 31-12-2014
Norman made the announcement this morning, saying it was time for a change. He will officially leave at the partys annual
meeting where a replacement will be voted in. Metiria Turei will stay on as co-leader.
Norman said it was time to find a new challenge for myself and to spend more time with my family, and now is also a good
time for new leadership for the party.
Normans partner Katya Paquin recently gave birth to their third child, a girl. Norman will stay on as a list MP.

Theres Something Fishy Going On In The Gold Market

December 8 2014 | From: MoneyWeek
Bear in mind that the physical gold market (dealing in wholesale bullion delivery) is tiny in relation
its paper-based cousin (futures, options, leveraged trades, collateralised obligations, ETFs, etc).
Paper beats rock
In fact, its estimated that the paper gold market which should be a derivative of the physical market is actually some 100
times larger than the physical market ie, if everyone holding paper gold stood for delivery at the same time, it would be
impossible for every party to fulfil their obligations.
The central banks dont like it
Because the derivative market is so large, paper gold makes physical golds market price. This is a problem for nervous
central banks because when prices are perverted in this way, it causes anomalies in the market.
The big one right now is how the gold price seems to be completely out of kilter with underlying demand.
For example, how on earth can China and others be importing such massive amounts of physical gold and yet the gold price
refuses to budge? All sorts of theories have been posited. One is that major Western central banks have been providing
physical supply to balance the books, by leasing gold into the market.
But heres the rub: this gold may belong to other nations, which is causing anxiety for countries that rely on the Western
depositories to store their gold.
World to banks: Wheres my gold?
First, it was the Venezuelas Hugo Chavez that kicked up a stink. He demanded Venezuelas gold back from London and the
US. That was a few years ago now. Some astute nations took note. After all, Venezuelas holdings are the 15th largest in the
world this was no piddling amount.
Then about a year and half ago, Germany was rumoured to be asking for an audit of its gold held in foreign depositories.
Supposedly the American custodians said take a hike. We dont know if thats true or not. But what we do know is that shortly
afterwards, the Germans asked for much of their gold back. 674 tons, in fact 374 from Banque de France and 300 from the
US Fed in Manhattan.
Now, this certainly wasnt a piddling amount either. But if the stuff was in the vaults, then whats the problem? Well, you can
only imagine the Germans response to the announcement that the transfer, of their gold back to them, would take eight years
to fulfil.
What? Eight years? The Venezuelans took delivery within a couple of months. Whats going on here?
What indeed? Perhaps the Americans placated the German delegation thus:
Now, now, keep calm. Dont make a fuss. If you rock the boat and everyone gets nervous, this process could take
a lot longer! We dont want anyone else getting concerned.
A full year after Germany asked for its gold back, a trifling 37 tons had been delivered. Thats way off the 87 tons envisaged
and even that figure was allowing eight full years for delivery. Whats more, a paltry five tons came from the US. The rest was
from Paris.
When asked about progress on getting its gold back, the Bundesbank was rather coy. Dont worry, they said.
They would, though, wouldnt they? It would hardly help to have other nations knocking on the Feds door asking for theirs
back too now, would it?
The rumour mill is back in action
More recently, Austria was said to be giving its London custodians a prod. A report in Austrian magazine Trend suggested
they were planning to send auditors to check on the countrys gold holdings in the Bank of England.
Hey up, this is how the German repatriation thing started! And Austria is no gold slouch either. Its IMF-reported reserves top
280 tons. Thats nearly half Austrias foreign exchange reserves. They like the stuff!
In response to the rumour mill, Ewald Nowotny, governor of Austrias central bank, recently played down matters:
I acknowledge the request. Any grocery store is obliged to do inventory once a year.
So the rumours of the audit appear to be true, then. And once again, the central bank tells everyone theres nothing to see
here. As I said they would, wouldnt they? If theres going to be a run, then get in line early, and dont go shouting about it.
The perfect crime
Everything Ive laid out above is conjecture, of course. But dont be surprised to learn that the central banks have been
leasing gold into the markets. In fact, we know for sure that they do theyve admitted as much.
And unlike dumping the stuff in the market like Gordon Brown did with half our pot lending the stuff can be done more
surreptitiously. In fact, its the perfect crime. This way they can dump it on the markets, and still record it on their own balance
sheet.
And why not? The stuff is supposed to come back again after the lease is up. But this isnt like shorting shares. In the bullion
markets, once the bullion has been lent short and dumped on the market, its mostly smelted into new bars that are demanded
in Asia. Its then shipped and stored in brand new vaults all over the globe.
Getting this stuff back after the lease is up could prove difficult for all the banks and hedge funds that have been shorting the
stuff. Only five tons delivery in one year kind of difficult!
Of course, if this story has legs, then it wont be endorsed by any official any time soon. Mums the word. It makes you
wonder, doesnt it? Venezuela, Germany, Austria where are the whispering rumours gathering next?
And could there be an almighty run on the Western custodian banks to come?
Watch this space.
The Real Inconvenient Truth & A Call For Critical Thinking By The 99%
November 19 2014 | From: BerkeleyDailyPlanet
A person might be stoned for heresy in Berkeley if they were to question belief in global warming.
But, as a decades long, left leaning, KPFA listening and sponsoring, commuter bike riding,
composting, plastic avoiding, bring your own cloth grocery bag environmental activist, I am seeing
too much hypocrisy and closed minded smugness, and a lack of critical thinking on the part of
those who I have always thought of as my people.
I have come to the conclusion that those with liberal roots like me, have been sent on a fools errand, sucked into an
unquestioning group-think and religiosity by a well-funded corporatised environmental establishment, that is scaring
us into accepting top-down, pre-prescribed faux solutions that have never had public input and are designed to
enrich bankers, diminish the rights of ordinary people, and funnel us into a controlled technocratic society.
We hear plenty of talk about lowering parts per million of carbon while basic principles of environmentalism are violated, such
as, dont pollute, do no harm, local control, conservation, recycle, reuse, live simply, less technology, not more.
The Democratic left has been hijacked and infiltrated, our ideals and beliefs distorted and twisted into a disciplinary social
agenda, which demonises rank and file humanity, and deflects responsibility away from the real perpetrators of the destruction
of our natural world.
Al Gore, the man charged with popularising the global warming theory, uses 20 times the energy of the average person in just
one of his multi-million dollar homes, yet his carbon footprint is never put under a spot light.
Few remember how as Vice President he used his Earth in the Balance environmental cred to stump for passage of NAFTA
and Free Trade policies, which started the environmental race to the bottom and the wholesale giving away of local power
over land and laws to multinational corporations.
Now Gore is investing with partners like Goldman Sachs in carbon trading schemes, espousing the self-enriching solution to a
problem he defines. It would seem subscribers to the theory of global warming never question the designation of CO2, as the
root of our environmental problems and its convenient, consequent value as a global taxable trading currency founded on the
commodification of nature and a newly invented right to pollute.
This unverifiable system run by bankers will accelerate, not slow, the pillaging of the planet.
It is my observation that all aspects of the left alternative media from the progressive weeklies to KPFA radio, are conducting
the environmental wing of the global war on terror, never missing an opportunity to frighten and guilt trip us that we will cause
game over for the planet if we dont vote for climate change legislation, aka, carbon taxes and carbon trading, and support
smart growth policies.
We are schooled that only crazy right-wingers could possibly question the settled science and the settled
remedies.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is always cited as the trusted go-to body of expertise, even though
their integrity was discredited with the Climategate scandal based on leaked emails, in which head scientists at the IPCC,
Michael Mann of Penn State and Phil Jones of East Anglia University discussed doctoring the data on the hockey stick graph
created by Mann, and punishing scientists and scientific journals that print contradictory evidence to the theory of global
warming.
So many are now feeding at the trough of climate change disaster capitalism that a rational open debate is almost
impossible. City councils throughout the land are curiously all subscribing to the same developer, banker- enriching, land-
grabbing policies of smart growth.
Unelected, unaccountable regional boards, made up of selected local officials, along with corporations and non governmental
organizations are drawing up dictatorial regional plans for growth that supercede city governments, depriving citizens of the
right to affect their own local land use policy.
In the name of climate change remediation, we are told we must pack more people into smaller areas of land, as our towns
are being transformed into mega Manhattanized cities with tall multi-unit apartment buildings that take our sunlight, and
ultimately our connection to the land and nature.
Old buildings, neighborhoods, and communities are wastefully being torn down and made over to fit the vision of elite
ideologue urban planners. In the upheaval, small local independent businesses are lost and replaced with national chains.
This is not protection of nature, but a transfer of wealth, power, property ownership, and autonomy of cities, towns
and rural areas, away from ordinary citizens.
Todays "environmentalists" are working towards increased government and corporate control and surveillance over our lives
through bio-hazardous technology, ie. smart grid and smart meters, with no regard for thousands of independent scientific
studies proving that digital microwave radiation damages biology.
Instead of a call to decentralise, simplify and conserve, citizens worldwide are being forced to apply smart meters to their
homes, even as they are complaining of heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, mental confusion, sleeplessness, headaches, ear
ringing, dizziness and more.
A technology is neither green nor sustainable if its byproduct harms humans, insects, plants and animals. This unseen
pollution from smart meters and smart grid infrastructure is increasing exponentially with no objections from official
environmentalists.
Unlike the old meters, smart meters use energy to power themselves 24/7. They are only advantageous to a centralized
corporate model of energy control.
Most shockingly, the left, who claim to have the corner on environmental stewardship, are the ones giving credence to
geoengineering-solar radiation management, (the spraying of chemical nanoparticle pollution, such as aluminum oxide and
sulphur dioxide via jet aircraft into the atmosphere in order to block the sun), as a solution for global warming.
On May 9, 2013, the Earth Island Institute sponsored a debate cavalierly dubbed, Hack the Sky? at the Brower Center in
Berkeley CA. The purported adversaries were Stanford geoengineer, Ken Caldiera, and so called ethicist, Clive Hamilton,
who belongs to the same geoengineering promoting, Solar Radiation Management Governance Group with Caldiera and
other geoengineers. That very morning the two debaters made an appearance on liberal KALWs Your Call.
A few months later the apprentices on Progressive radio KPFAs Full Circle hosted the same performance duo. Why are
environmental groups and left media putting on rigged debates legitimising and normalising a preposterous technology, which
poisons and desecrates nature, and can only cause irreparable harm, when they should be screaming warnings from the
rafters that scientists are recklessly playing God with our world.
These left media outlets are unconscionably frightening their following into accepting what amounts to nothing less than the
corporate scientific intervention into our natural weather and climate systems.
The environmental establishment chooses to ignore a whole area of inquiry relevant and crucial to the climate change
equation; that of scientific, military, university, and governmental, (NASA and NOAA) experimentation with our atmosphere
and weather, which has been going on for many decades.
The book Angels Dont Play This HAARP by Nick Begich and Jeanne Manning, documents the history of military
experimentation with the earths atmosphere, and chronicles the development (including twelve patents) of the High
Frequency Active Auroral Research Project, (HAARP), a field of giant antennas which can boil the upper atmosphere with a
focused steerable billion watt electromagnetic beam, sending electromagnetic waves back onto a target on earth, causing
changes in the jet stream and weather.
The Department of Defense and their military contractors operate outside of all laws that protect the environment.
Ironically, the climate change activists of today are listening to and trusting the very moneyed, powerful entities who have
brought us to the brink of ecological collapse and forced us into fossil fuel dependency, for diagnosis and treatment of our
environmental calamities.
The Rockefellers, one of the biggest funders and grant givers to the current environmental movement, have throughout the
decades, used their wealth and influence derived from BIG OIL to remain in control of energy.
They financed Prohibition in the 1920s and '30s to keep farmers from making their own alcohol fuel, and worked to criminalize
hemp, from which fuel was made. They killed the electric car and the municipal electric railways and influenced our
government to suppress more than 5000 energy technology patents, which have potential to end our energy crisis.
The rhetoric we hear of creating economic and environmental equity among people and nations, rings hollow when you realize
that the environmental establishment is being bought and commandeered by the richest fat cats in the world, who have the
inordinate means to create equity overnight, and to stop their destructive environmental practices, if that were their true
purpose.
Instead they are financing and manufacturing a phony grassroots campaign to pin the blame for environmental devastation on
the everyman who is living in a world choreographed by the corporate financial elite.
Their message is that the future of the planet is impossible unless we the little people submit to the measures
outlined by them. They have frightened, panicked, and demoralized the very people who would be fighting them with every
breath into being the enforcement arm for their vision of our future.
Fear of climate change is being manipulated to get the left to aid in the stealing of citizen rights and the corporatization of our
local government, land, business, nature and weather.
While the environmentalists are stuck on climate change, the nuclear accidents, toxic spills, pesticide contamination, deep sea
oil drilling, fracking, tree cutting, electromagnetic radiation, introduction into the ecosystem of new dangerous technological
compounds and organisms like GMOS, synthetic biology, nanoparticles, the geoengineering of our skies, destructive war and
weapons, and much more, continue unabated.
Now left wing pundits like The Nations, Mark Hertsgaard, tell us to be impressed, that the big time financial fleecers and
scammers, Hank Paulsen, hedgefund billionaire, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg have come on board with climate
change, as if they havent always been. The War On Climate Change has gone publicly mainstream as the likes of BP,
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Dow Chemical bankrolled the Peoples climate march in New York City in Sept. 2014.
No. It is way past time for the left to question where blind belief in billionaire, banker funded environmentalism is
taking us.

For most Americans with savings or checking accounts in federally insured banks, normal FDIC rules on deposit insurance
are still in play, but anyone with over $250,000 in any one account, or held offshore, will have their money automatically
subject to bankruptcy dispursements from the courts based on a much lower rank of priority, and a much lower percentage of
return.
This also includes business accounts, money market accounts, and any depository investments such as a certificate of
deposit (CD).
After Sunday at the G20 meeting, the risks of holding any cash in a bank or financial institution will have to be weighed as
heavily and with as much determination of risk as if you were holding a stock or municipal bond, which could decline in an
instant should the financial environment bring a crisis even remotely similar to that of 2008.
From a technical perspective, this is moving in line with Murray Rothbards perspective on bank deposit insurance, which he
saw as a scam:
Fractional reserve banking proved shaky, and so the New Deal, in 1933, added the lie of bank deposit insurance,
using the benign word insurance to mask an arrant hoax.
When the savings and loan system went down the tubes in the late 1980s, the deposit insurance of the federal
FSLIC [Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation] was unmasked as sheer fraud.
The insurance was simply the smoke-and-mirrors term for the unbacked name of the federal government.
The poor taxpayers finally bailed out the S&Ls, but now we are left with the formerly sainted FDIC [Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation], for commercial banks, which is now increasingly seen to be shaky, since the FDIC itself
has less than one percent of the huge number of deposits it insures.
The very idea of deposit insurance is a swindle; how does one insure an institution (fractional reserve banking)
that is inherently insolvent, and which will fall apart whenever the public finally understands the swindle?
Suppose that, tomorrow, the American public suddenly became aware of the banking swindle, and went to the
banks tomorrow morning and in unison demanded cash. What would happen?
The banks would be instantly insolvent, since they could only muster 10 percent of the cash they owe their
befuddled customers.
Neither would the enormous tax increase needed to bail everyone out be at all palatable.
No: the only thing the Fed could do and this would be in their power, would be to print enough money to pay off all
the bank depositors.
Unfortunately, in the present state of the banking system, the result would be an immediate plunge into the horrors
of hyperinflation.
Thus, the removal of protection for large depositors is eliminating the scam at this tier. It is, in other words, cutting down on
moral hazard.
I suspect what is going on here is that the government is fully aware that this change will create a separation between bank
deposits and government securities.
Government securities, especially short-term paper, will become a safer investment than large banks deposits. This will drive
funds away from banks, private sector lending, and push funds into the direction of government sponsored debt (where there
will be continued back up for such debt of the money printing presses).

Legislated Theft: Why Banks Pay Local Body Rates Arrears, Then Charge Customer
November 4 2014 | From: Scoop
New quick guide on why banks pay local body rates arrears, then charge customer - Or how to
legalise theft by the banking industry. If a person has a problem with their rates bill, it is NOT up to
the nanny state to step in with thievery legislation.
Why banks can take money from customer bank accounts to pay their council rates arrears is explained in a new
Banking Ombudsman Scheme quick guide on payment of overdue rates.
"We receive complaints every year from property owners with a mortgage complaining their bank paid off their
rates arrears to the local council and then took the amount from their account, said Banking Ombudsman Deborah
Battell.
Legislation permits local authorities to demand a bank pay its customers rates debt. Under the customers contract with the
bank, the bank is able to deduct the amount from the customers account. It is standard for this provision to be covered in
banks lending documentation.
"It affects a relatively small number of people but ratepayers sometimes contact us because they are already
under considerable financial pressure. Seeing their account debited for rates arrears can be a shock, said Ms
Battell.
Complaints to the scheme usually stem from bank customers saying:
They havent authorised the debit

Tthe bank failed to notify them
Non-payment of rates is part of wider dispute with their local authority.
Our investigations into these complaints consider whether bank communication and information is adequate. It is
usual bank practice to inform customers about the debit."
We are not generally able to overturn payments but if we find the bank has done something wrong we will
consider whether compensation for distress or inconvenience is warranted, Ms Battell said.
Why Are Our Economies In So Much Trouble?

November 3 2014 | From: TomatoBubble
Ever wonder about why our economy is in trouble? How can so many people can be in so much
debt at the same time? Does it seem strange to you no matter how hard one works, and in spite of
all the advances in society, most hard working people cannot escape the treadmill of perpetual
debt?
While this is an American article, the principles are global. Why are so many families losing their homes to
foreclosure? Why are many households dependent upon credit cards to supplement their income? Why does it take
TWO spouses to maintain a household when it used to take just one? Why have so many retirement savings been
wiped out? Why do prices always creep up?
Did you know that close to 1/3 of all income taxes are consumed just to pay interest on the Federal Debt? (National Debt
currently 17.5 TRILLION DOLLARS , or about $170,000 per household.)
Think about it. Every penny that you pay in income tax from January 1 - April 1 is consumed just to pay interest on Federal
debt; much of it to foreign banking families! And let's not forget the Government's unfunded future liabilities, estimated at 75
TRILLION. (an additional $750,000+ per household.)
Add those staggering sums to the 11 Trillion in total consumer debt (mortgages, car loans debt, credit cards, etc), student loan
debt (1 Trillion more), State debt, County debt, City/Town debt, small business debt, big business debt, and you will see that
the total of these debts actually exceeds (BY FAR) the amount of money supply in circulation.
So, how can such astronomical debt ever be repaid? Well, if you haven't figured it out yet - It can't.
The only way for society to service just the interest on these monstrous debts is to constantly inject new debts into
the system.
Finally, on top of all your Federal, State, gasoline, and local taxes, (30% - 40% of your gross income) and on top of your
personal debt service burden (another 25%-50%), there's this thing called "inflation", or "the cost of living." What exactly is
"the cost of living?" What causes it? Why does a dollar buy less and less each year while wages stay flat?
Is the stress of perpetual debt and rising prices keeping you up at night? How many strokes, heart attacks, and even suicides
are induced by financial stress each year? Money and debt may even have led to your drinking problem, or perhaps even to
depression. Debt may have been the underlying cause of your divorce or that of some couple that you know.
You know in your gut that something isn't right in this country. But you don't have the "Economics education" to figure it out. It
all seems too complicated for you to put your finger on, so you just keep slaving away to pay interest and taxes as your dollar
buys less and less. All you can do is keep working like a dog and leave the matter to the Wall Street "experts" and politicians
to handle for you.
But it's all quite simple really. So simple in fact, even a dummy can understand it when it is broken down to basic elements.
So then, how exactly did you all become such debt/tax/inflation slaves? Well, I'll let you in on my little secret. You will be
amazed at how easy it is to understand.

And So It Begins...
November 2 2014 | From: ZeroHedge
By eviscerating the U.S. Bond market, they have completely destroyed the intrinsic time value of
money. Thus, there no longer exists a viable and productive term deposit on savings.
Moreover, it is these very same savings deposits that provide an indispensable structural foundation for capital
formation, when leveraged through a fractional reserve banking system.
Those relatively riskless returns are gone forever, and what we are witnessing in Japan today is a desperate and perverse
attempt to recreate the same secure income streams, which are fundamental to a life spent prudently saving one's hard
earned wealth, via a central bank mandated synthetically juiced Nikkei Stock Average.
Regrettably, equities can never replace the security of steady moderate income provided by a normalized Treasury Bond
market.
Furthermore, in an environment of flatline economic growth, a reflated equity market will not only be unable to generate those
same reliable constant returns over time, but will also put those very savings themselves completely at risk.

US Federal Reserve Ends Quantative Easing Stimulus Programme
October 31 2014 | From: BBC
The US Federal Reserve has announced it is ending its quantitative easing (QE) stimulus
programme begun in 2008.

The Fed said it was confident the US economic recovery would continue, despite a global economic slowdown.
Comment: And so the news is now official that the cabal are about to turn off their funny-money printing presses in
the US. No matter what the spin they might try to put on this, nobody really knows for sure how this will impact the
markets.
However; it is well known that the QE programme was the only thing keeping the US economy afloat; whilst further
ushering the value of the 'Fed Dollar' to the inevitable (and engineered) point of value = zero.
There has been no such thing as the "US Dollar" since the Rothschild-instigated private banking-family owned cartel
that formed the international Reserve Banking system was designed in 1913. What has been since referred to as the
"US Dollar" and subsequently enforced as the global Reserve Currency, (or the 'Petrodollar') has never been
anything other than a baseless, ever depreciating debt reference record.
With many other nations (including but not limited to the BRICS Alliance nations) now aborting that criminal and
private Reserve Banking cartel standard 'currency' - the playing field is no longer tilted in terms of the favour of the
Khazarian Nazionists.
And so there will be more reports of 'flying banksters', deceased heads' of criminal family empires - and scuttling,
formerly well paid-off corporate and government underlings, coming to light as events continue to unfold - and more
publicly than ever before.
The targets for inflation and reduction in unemployment were on track, the Fed said in a statement.
The central bank, which also said it would not raise interest rates for a "considerable time", has gradually cut back QE since
last year.
'Sufficient strength'
The statement suggested that although the jobs market is strengthening, it is still not back to normal, which is why interest
rates are being held.
"The Committee continues to see sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing
progress toward maximum employment in a context of price stability," the Fed said.
Analysts said the news was in line with expectations.
"The Fed's announcement is exactly what everyone expected," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at
Phoenix Financial, in New York.
"The Fed sees enough improvement in economic activity to end QE, but at the same time, it will keep low rates
because it isn't yet seeing what it wants to see as far as inflation goes," he said.
Several analysts seized on the Fed's comments about slack in the labour market. Previous policy statements have referred to
"significant underutilization of labor resources".
Wednesday's statement left out the word "significant".
Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics, said: "In light of the latest drop in the unemployment rate to below
6%, the dropping of "significant" could be, well... significant."
Brian Jacobsen, strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management, added: "I was pleasantly surprised that they removed the
reference to there being significant underutilization of labour resources. I think that is a hat tip to some of the progress being
made in the labour market." [Which is a load of BS as the figures are cooked].
US shares were down ahead of the statement and continued to drift lower after the news was announced.
'Milestone'
QE started in November 2008 amid the financial crisis and fears that the US, and the rest of the world, might be facing
another great depression.
The Fed's traditional ammunition, cutting interest rates, was running low - there was one more cut the following month, taking
the main interest rate target down to practically zero.
So the central bank began buying financial assets and creating new money to pay for them.
In total, the Fed has added $3.7tn worth of assets to its holdings, about an eightfold increase.
BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker said that although the US economy is improving, the moderate unemployment
rate does not tell the whole story.
"There are still many people working part-time who would rather have longer hours, and many people not looking
for jobs who are not counted as unemployed but would actually like to work. And long term unemployment is still a
serious problem."
"The end of QE will nonetheless be an important milestone in the repair of the US economy," he said.
Recent data has pointed to increase spending by consumers and businesses. However, the housing market is still struggling
and pay is stagnant.
There is concern about the long-term impact of the US's persistent low inflation, which risks undermining consumer spending
as people delay purchases in the hope that prices will fall further.

Mike Maloney: Hidden Secrets Of Money

October 27 2014 | From: HiddenSecretsOfMoney
Money is a scam designed to steal your time and freedom and here is why:
Michael Maloney is the producer and host of Hidden Secrets of Money, an acclaimed investment education series
that aims to enlighten the world that maximum prosperity can only be achieved through individual freedom, free
markets, and sound money.
Known for the best-selling precious metals investment book of all time, Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, Mike has
become a persistent leader in helping demystify what is behind the currency curtain and the historic economic shifts that lead
to wealth transfer.
Hidden Secrets of Money is Mikes latest video series that explores the history of currency and money, the difference between
the two and, how in todays modern economy the historic rules of economic change persist.
Mike has been a regular speaker alongside financial educator Robert Kiyosaki, author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series, and
has been a featured speaker at investment seminars all over the world. He founded GoldSilver.com in 2005 to establish a
trusted online source for ordinary people to buy gold and silver with the knowledge and understanding of how the economics
of gold and silver play out over time in a persistent cycle.
"I believe that the best investment that you'll ever make in your lifetime is your own financial education"
- Mike Maloney
"Mike, you're a great investor, great businessman, great engineer, math genius, great researcher, but your real
desire in life isn't about money. You claim your start in the business was as a result for the need to be educated
about money and its origins, but I disagree about that being the primary reason for your start.
Your joy isn't about making money. I don't see that in your eyes. What I see is... you are happiest when you're
teaching others about what you have learned and have mastered."

Michael Maloney has been shouting from the rooftops about the world economy and showing people the fire exits since 2002.
Watch the video below to see him at the Silver Summit in 2005, making some bold predictions that all came true. Mike was

Report: 11 Banks Are About To Fail Europe's Biggest Ever Stress Tests
October 23 2014 | From: BusinessInsiderAustralia
Spanish news wire EFE says that that at least 11 of the 130 banks the European Central Bank is now
in charge of testing have failed their reviews. Thats across six countries.
Three of the banks are Greek, three are Italian, Two are Austrian, one is in Cyprus, one is Belgian and one is
Portuguese, according to the report.
It definitely looks like there was a market reaction: heres the euro falling against the dollar just as the report broke at 3:46
a.m. ET.
Full results on the stress tests are out this Sunday, deliberately timed out of market hours.
The stakes on the asset quality review, as the tests are formally known, are huge. Capital Economics Jessica Hinds explains
here (emphasis hers):
Given that previous stress tests failed to expose serious problems in a number of key financial institutions some
were given a clean bill of health only to need rescuing just months later there is a lot at stake, not least the
ECBs reputation and confidence in the entire euro-zone banking sector.

World Headed Towards Economic, Environmental Collapse
September 6 2014 | From: RT
Australian researchers have shown that a book written and written off four decades ago
accurately predicted where the world would be in terms of resource allocation and the environment.
And that does not bode well for the future of humanity.
Researchers from the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute (MSSI) at the University of Melbourne used data from the last
40 years to compare to predictions made by the authors of the 1972 book Limits to Growth. They focused on what the
original authors termed the business-as-usual (BAU) or standard run scenario, collating it to what has actually happened
since the publication.
Just two years after the globe celebrated its first Earth Day in 1970, Italian think tank Club of Rome commissioned
researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), led by husband-and-wife team Donella and Dennis Meadows,
to build a computer model to track the worlds economy and environment. They looked at industrialization, population, food,
use of resources and pollution through 1970.

Kissinger Admits Plan For New World Order

September 1 2014 | From: Infowars via WallStreetJournal
Former Secretary of State releases globalist plan for world government

Libya is in civil war, fundamentalist armies are building a self-declared caliphate across Syria and Iraq and
Afghanistans young democracy is on the verge of paralysis.
To these troubles are added a resurgence of tensions with Russia and a relationship with China divided between pledges of
cooperation and public recrimination. The concept of order that has underpinned the modern era is in crisis.
The search for world order has long been defined almost exclusively by the concepts of Western societies. In the decades
following World War II, the U.S. - strengthened in its economy and national confidence - began to take up the torch of
international leadership and added a new dimension.
A nation founded explicitly on an idea of free and representative governance, the U.S. identified its own rise with the spread of
liberty and democracy and credited these forces with an ability to achieve just and lasting peace.
The traditional European approach to order had viewed peoples and states as inherently competitive; to constrain the effects
of their clashing ambitions, it relied on a balance of power and a concert of enlightened statesmen. The prevalent American
view considered people inherently reasonable and inclined toward peaceful compromise and common sense; the spread of
democracy was therefore the overarching goal for international order.
Free markets would uplift individuals, enrich societies and substitute economic interdependence for traditional international
rivalries.
This effort to establish world order has in many ways come to fruition. A plethora of independent sovereign states govern most
of the worlds territory. The spread of democracy and participatory governance has become a shared aspiration if not a
universal reality; global communications and financial networks operate in real time.

Unmasking The CAFR Scam In Your Country / City / Town / Council
August 11 2014 | From: Rense / RealityBlogger | See Update Below
It is perhaps not widely known that governments and councils use complicated accounting
practices to hide their wealth from the people, providing 'justification' for rates hikes and other
methods of wealth extraction.
In a world where council rates and infrastructure costs are conitinually on the increase, in most places the CAFR
(Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) Accounting system is used, which hides wealth and provides the 'powers
that be' with more reason to financially rape and pillage the people.
While much of the content below pertains to the US, the principles in play with CAFR Accounting are used in most countries.
Examples include:
New Zealand Treasury Annual Report
Australia Treasury Annual Report
Melbourne City Annual Report
Australia Government - Department of Finance and De-regulation
Australia Future Funds ($100 billion) and Nation Building Fund
Government of Canada (Annual Financial Report)
Montreal, Canada (Annual Financial Report)
Ireland National Pension Reserve Fund scheme
Belfast City Council Annual Financial Report
The British Monarchy
City of London Police Department
Welsh Government
Japan Finance Corporation

What Are CAFRs?
First, what is a CAFR? A CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) is government's complete accounting of "Net
Worth".
It has been reported that trillions of collective dollars not shown in government Budget reports are shown through Government
CAFR reports and they are virtually never openly-discussed by the syndicated NEWS media, both the Democratic and
Republican Party members, the House, Senate, and organized public education.
With, and being that the CAFR is "the" accounting document for every local government, and with it being effectively
"BLACKED OUT" for open mention over the last 60 years, that this fact of intentional omission of coverage is the biggest
conspiracy that has ever taken effect in the United States. Read more at: Rense
As more and more cities, counties, districts, and states across America falsely declare their near - insolubility, bankruptcy
warnings, fiscal deficits, and budgetary quandaries, I am left with the sinking feeling that the people just cant wrap their
heads around how to point out these misleading and downright fallacious claims made by their councils, mayors, and
professional con-men in places of public trust.
So today I want to share with you a simple way to factually stand before your local or state political leaders and give
indisputable proof that, when stating the facts about their own budget shortfalls, limited choices, and necessary raising of
your hard-earned monies as taxation (revenue) to balance the budget, your own little criminal syndicate of elected mayors
and council men and women are lying bold-faced to the entire citizenry through the act of subterfuge and omission.
This little factoid is uniform throughout the entirety of the financial structure of government, as reported in the audited
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and required by Federal and State laws. It is always reported in the same fashion
and under the same heading as all other governments (municipal corporations).
The figures are not disputable. The truth is unshakable. And yet the doublespeak will never end For even as you present
this one simple line item to the scoundrels themselves behind their raised and protective pedestals, they will still attempt to
deny what is undeniable, be it in ignorance or in deceit; usually a mix of both.

Obama Calls For Collectivised New World Order

July 26 2014 | From: RedFlagNews / Infowars
"People are anxious.... the old order isnt holding"

During a fundraiser in Seattle this week, President Barack Obama called for a new order based around a collectivized
system in order to quell peoples concerns about geopolitical strife and the economy.
People are anxious. Now, some of that has to do with some big challenges overseas, said Obama, adding, But
whether people see whats happening in Ukraine, and Russias aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in
which its financing and arming separatists; to whats happened in Syria to the failure in Iraq for Sunni and Shia
and Kurd to compromise to whats happening in Israel and Gaza.
Part of peoples concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isnt holding and were not quite yet
to where we need to be in terms of a new order thats based on a different set of principles, thats based on a
sense of common humanity, thats based on economies that work for all people.
But here in the United States, what people are also concerned about is the fact that although the economy has
done well in the aggregate, for the average person it feels as if incomes, wages just havent gone up; that people,
no matter how hard they work, they feel stuck.

Asenati Lole-Taylor said in a Facebook post on Tuesday she was concerned about 90 per cent of New Zealand's
banks being foreign-owned.

Questioned about this by another Facebook user, who said the Reserve Bank was owned by the government, Ms Lole-
Taylor responded:
"No, it's not. Our Reserve Bank is run by overseas bankers."
Mr Peters told reporters he didn't consider her comments were "strictly accurate" and veered off into criticism of the profits
New Zealand's banks make.
"And who owns the US Federal Bank, you don't know, do you," he said before walking off.

TPP Risks A Weaker Global Trading System, Says Ex-World Trade Organisation Head
July 21 2014 | From: NationalBusinessReview
Comment: Why is the head of the WTO now making such comments about the TPP Agreement?
Also, it is interesting to note that Mike Moore (a politician from New Zealand) has also served both as Prime
Minister of New Zealand and Director-General of the World Trade Organization. He is the current New Zealand
Ambassador to the United States.
The World Trade Organisation, along with the World Bank and the the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for
International Settlements, forcibly integrate minor countries of the world into the globalist NWO cabal system.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a step backwards to the days before the World Trade Organisation when the the US and
Europe controlled the global trading system to the detriment of developing economies, says a former director-general of the
WTO, Supachai Panitchpakdi of Thailand.
In New Zealand for a meeting of the honorary advisers to the Asia-New Zealand Foundation, Supachai told BusinessDesk in
an interview that Asian economies had more to gain by pursuing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership
(RCEP), which includes China and India but not the US, than TPP, which he described as a "US-centric" trade deal.
New Zealand is one of three countries that initiated the TPP concept and has committed substantial resources to its
negotiation, but it only gained momentum once the US became a member of the 12-country grouping seeking a new set of
trade rules for an Asia-Pacific trade bloc.
The US and Europe are also negotiating a TPP-style deal, known as TTIP (Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership).
"TTIP amd TTP together could drive the world back into the old days before the WTO was conceived, a world
trading system predominated by major trading nations, which was something I thought we tried to adjust with the
more democratic participation of membership of the WTO,"
- said Supachai, who was director-general of the WTO from 2002 to 2005, immediately after former New Zealand
prime minister Mike Moore.
New Zealand belongs to both TPP and RCEP, which was initiated in 2012, and is part of the four year-old Association of
South-East Asian Nations Free Trade Area (AFTA), most of whose members are involved in both TTP and RCEP.
"For me, the priority should be for Asia to move in the direction of RCEP," said Supachai. "If there should be a
need for the US to join in or others, it should be in the context of RCEP."
As secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) between 2005 and 2013,
Supachai also oversaw analysis of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which found that Mexico had done poorly
from the deal while the developed economies in NAFTA - the US and Canada - had benefited.
"At UNCTAD, we pointed out that for a developing country that joins a regional agreement with major, much more
advanced economies, they are not easily going to gain much."
That risk existed with TPP, which would be "mainly driven by the major players of the world trade system to set up very
forward-looking, very avant garde" rules in areas that less developed economies would struggle to accommodate. These
included intellectual property restrictions that could thwart the availability of affordable universal healthcare and rules
requiring privatisation of state-owned enterprises with certain timeframes.
TPP negotiations have stalled for more than a year on such sticking points.
"TPP is US-centric," said Supachai.
"It leaves the question as to what would the rest of the membership of the TPP be able to contribute fairly to the
outcome? My general basic principle on the two so-called mega-deals (TPP and TTIP) is that we have to be a bit
cautious about the way we are practicing regionalism these days. I'm open-minded, but regionalism should
ultimately prove to strengthen the multi-lateral processes."
Regional trade deals have become increasingly commonly pursued as the global process overseen by the WTO has failed
over the last 13 years of the so-called "Doha Round" negotiations to produce a new global trade agreement.
The RCEP initiative was better suited to bolstering Asian economies' growing role in the world economy, said Supachai.
"RCEP is more ASEAN-centric and, for better or worse, ASEAN has a good record of expanding trade. Intra-
ASEAN trade is now 53 to 54 percent," he said. "This is only lower than Europe, which is 70 to 80 percent."
New trade agreements needed to be favourable to Asia if only because of the region's status as a "global public
good."
We are the ones now generating more than half of world growth and 67 percent of world trade and the area has
been excessively accumulating financial reserves," said Supachai. "That's why RCEP is important. TPP comes in
between."
Get Ready: Head Of Worlds Most Powerful Bank Issues Ominous Warning
July 15 2014 | From: RumourMillNews | This story also now on RT
Most people have never heard of Jaime Caruana even though he is the head of an immensely
powerful organization. He has been serving as the General Manager of the Bank for International
Settlements since 2009, and he will continue in that role until 2017
The Bank for International Settlements is a rather boring name, and very few people realize that it is at the very core of our
centrally-planned global financial system. So when Jaime Caruana speaks, people should listen.
And the fact that he recently warned that the global financial system is currently more fragile in many ways than it was just
prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers should set off all sorts of alarm bells.
Speaking of the financial markets, Caruana ominously declared that it is hard to avoid the sense of a puzzling disconnect
between the markets buoyancy and underlying economic developments globally and he noted that markets can stay
irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
In other words, he is saying what I have been saying for so long. The behavior of the financial markets has become
completely divorced from economic reality, and at some point there is going to be a massive correction.
So why would the head of the central bank of the world choose this moment to issue such a chilling warning?
Does he know something that the rest of us do not?

New Banknotes Next Step In NZ Currency Evolution
A speech delivered to the Royal Numismatic Society in Wellington
New Zealands currency will take another significant evolutionary step next year when modernised banknotes with more
advanced security features are introduced, Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Geoff Bascand said in a speech today.
In a speech titled The evolution of New Zealands currency, Mr Bascand said the Reserve Bank is committed to meeting New
Zealands future currency needs.
While other means of payment keep growing, cash remains in strong demand, and we need to keep it current and viable for
its users.
Security features and the technology for designing and printing banknotes have advanced considerably since the current
banknote series was first issued in the early 1990s. While counterfeiting rates in New Zealand are low compared to the rest of
the world, we need to stay one step ahead of the game.
Mr Bascand said the Reserve Banks project to upgrade and improve the security of New Zealands banknotes is progressing
well, and Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC) has been selected to design and print New Zealands next series of
banknotes.
CBNC has a strong reputation for technologically advanced printing, and the Bank has confidence that it will deliver high
quality banknotes which New Zealanders can continue to identify with and trust. CBNC currently manufactures New Zealands
passports and prints the Bank of Canadas banknotes, Mr Bascand said.
The new banknotes will be the same size and denominations as the current series, and will continue to be made of a flexible
polymer plastic. While the designs will be updated, the themes of the notes will remain the same, with the same New
Zealanders, flora and fauna remaining central to the designs. The Bank expects to publicly release the near final banknote
designs in November, after they have been thoroughly tested.
Subject to successful testing, the new notes will be progressively released by denomination, likely starting in the fourth quarter
of 2015. The new notes will co-circulate with the current notes for a period of time. Both the current series and new notes will
be legal tender.
The Reserve Bank will continue consultation with banknote equipment manufacturers and industry stakeholders in the lead-
up to the release of the new notes, to ensure a smooth transition.
Mr Bascand says the Bank is also evaluating new minting technologies which could allow coloured circulating coins, and is
working with New Zealand Post to develop opportunities to mark next years Gallipoli centenary.
Innovation is central to the New Zealand culture and important to the Reserve Bank. With this in mind, we will find new ways
to celebrate New Zealand in our currency while preserving the core integrity, functionality and confidence in the product.
Boehner Confirms Lawsuit Against Obama For Executive Actions

June 27 2014 | From: NBC
House Speaker John Boehner will file a lawsuit against the Obama administration for its use of
executive actions to change laws, he formally announced Wednesday.
House Speaker John Boehner will file a lawsuit against the Obama administration for its use of executive actions to change
laws, he formally announced Wednesday.
"I believe the President is not faithfully executing the laws of our country, and on behalf of the institution and our constitution
standing up and fighting for this is in the best long term interest of the Congress," he said.
Boehner would not say which executive action the lawsuit would target specifically.
The specifics and mechanics of the suit have yet to be worked out, but Boehner could enlist an organization called the
Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) to carry it out.
Because that body is controlled by the Speaker, the Majority Leader, the Majority Whip, the Minority Leader and the Minority
Whip, Republicans could order the lawsuit to go ahead even if Democrats objected.
The speaker insisted Wednesday that the lawsuit does not amount to an effort to impeach the president.
"This is not about impeachment, this is about his faithfully executing the laws of our country," Boehner said.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said he is confident the president has operated well within the confines of the law
and that Republicans have brought the suit simply because they disagree with Obama's policies.
The GOP's unwillingness to compromise has forced the president to take more executive actions, Earnest said.
"The fact that they are considering a taxpayer-funded lawsuit against the president of the United States for doing
his job, I think, is the kind of step that most Americans wouldn't support," Earnest said.
"This lawsuit is not going to consume the attention of the White House," he added.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Wednesday called the lawsuit "subterfuge."
"They're doing nothing here and so they have to give some aura of activity," she said.

United States New York Attorney General Files Lawsuit Against Barclays Bank:
Accusation Of 'Dark Pool' Fraud
June 26 2014 | From: BBC
Barclays accused of deceiving investors
Comment: Astute obervers will note that as part of the ongoing struggle-for-dominance infighting within the cabal,
the loosely describable 'UK and US' factions are taking pot-shots at one another. Another example has just
emerged:
A fraud lawsuit against Barclays in the United States has been filed by the New York attorney general.
The lawsuit alleges that the bank falsified documents and misrepresented systems in place to protect certain investors from
aggressive trading.
It relates to the bank's "dark pool" trading operations, which allow clients to trade large blocks of shares while keeping prices
more private.
Barclays said it was taking the allegations "very seriously".
Prosecutors said Barclays misrepresented the kinds of investors that were using the dark pool.
'Full of predators'
New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman said: "The facts alleged in our complaint show that Barclays demonstrated a
disturbing disregard for its investors in a systematic pattern of fraud and deceit."
"Barclays grew its dark pool by telling investors they were diving into safe waters. According to the lawsuit, Barclays' dark pool
was full of predators - there at Barclays' invitation," he said.
Analysis
Samira Hussain, BBC business reporter, New York:
Dark pools are under the spotlight.

There are at least 40 operating in the US where they compete against traditional exchanges.
But these private platforms operate outside the public eye.
And that's becoming a big issue, especially in this post-recession era, when banks have been blamed for a
crippling financial crisis.
Regulators are taking a much closer look at everything banks do, especially things that can so easily fall under the
radar.
The lawsuit said that Barclay's marketing material was misleading over the extent of high-frequency trading in its
dark pool.
High-frequency traders use fast, sophisticated trading software and can make large profits on very small moves in
share prices.
The lawsuit accused Barclays of telling investors trading was being closely monitored and "predatory" traders
would be held accountable."
'Inside help'
But in fact Barclays did not prohibit a single trader from operating in its dark pool, the lawsuit said.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges that Barclays operated its dark pool to favour high-frequency traders and "actively sought to
attract them".
In a statement the bank said: "Barclays has been cooperating with the New York attorney general and the SEC and has been
examining this matter internally. The integrity of the markets is a top priority of Barclays."
The attorney general said that the investigation had been significantly helped by a number of former Barclays' employees.
Other investigations
Barclays has been the subject of several investigations, fines and settlements in recent years.
In May it was fined 26m by UK regulators after one of its traders was discovered attempting to fix the price of gold.
In April, Barclays agreed to a $280m (167m) settlement with the US Federal Housing and Finance Authority (FHFA).
The agreement settles claims by the FHFA that Barclays misled US mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during
the housing crisis.
In 2012 it was fined 290m by UK regulators for attempting to manipulate an important lending rate, known as Libor.
Total US Debt Soars To Nearly $60 Trillion, Foreshadows New Recession

June 17 2014 | From: RT
Comment: The Cabal have made a successful job of manufacturing fake debts that are completely unaddressable -
just what they wanted. This typically starts with IMF / World Bank loans which require asset sales as part of the deal.
Sound familiar?
This is what happens when a country take out loans that are structured such as they can never be repaid and run a
privately owned reserve banking system with no backing - and create fiat money out of thin air. Much has been
written on this matter - such as this and this for example. Does anyone stop to think just to whom / what all this debt
is owed?
America - its government, businesses, and people - are nearly $60 trillion in debt, according to the latest economic data from
thethe St. Louis Federal Reserve. And private debt - not government borrowing - is the biggest reason for the huge deficit.
Total US debt at the end of the first quarter of 2014, on March 31 totaled almost $59.4 trillion - up nearly $500 billion from the
end of the fourth quarter of 2013, according to the data. Total debt (the combination of government, business, mortgage, and
consumer debt) was $2.2 trillion 40 years ago.
In 50 short years, debt has gone from being a luxury for a few to a convenience for many to an addiction for most
to a disease for all, James Butler wrote in an Independent Voters Network (IVN) op-ed. It is a virus that has
spread to every aspect of our economy, from a consumer using a credit card to buy a $0.75 candy bar in a vending
machine to a government borrowing $17 trillion to keep the lights on.

US-Based Ex-Barclays Staff Charged By UK In Libor Sandal

April 29 2014 | From: RT
The UK filed its first criminal proceedings against scandal-struck US-based Libor traders on Monday over the alleged rigging
of global benchmark interest rates. Three former Barclays traders are to be charged, according to the UKs Serious Fraud
Office.
Jay Vijay Merchant, Alex Julian Pabon and Ryan Michael Reich are the three former New-York based Barclays employees
who have been charged by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) with conspiracy to defraud.
He is not guilty of this offense and will vigorously contest these allegations at his forthcoming trial, British law firm Hickman &
Rose, which is representing Reich, said in a statement. The lawyers for the remaining two men were not available for
comment, reported Reuters.
While the SFO confirmed that the trio are in the US, they are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on
May 27. The occasion could set the ball rolling for the first extradition to the UK from the US in what has been a lengthy
investigation into Libor (London interbank offered rate) manipulation.
The Libor scandal dates back to 2005. Libor is the average interest rate that underpins trillions of dollars worth of loans,
contracts and mortgages through the interest rates of major London banks. The scandal drew in some of the worlds biggest
financial institutions, including the Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and Barclays.
Barclays was the first bank to settle in the wake of the rate manipulation accusations, paying some $450 million in fines in
2012 after admitting misconduct.
The subsequent backlash forced out four top Barclays directors, including chief executive Bob Diamond in 2012, who had
previously insisted that he would not resign.
So far, US and European authorities have fined 10 banks and brokerages a total of $6 billion.
Twelve people are now facing criminal charges in the US and UK, among them the three from Barclays for the manipulation of
denominated Libor. Twenty-two potential co-conspirators have also been identified, but not publicly named.
The charges fall at a time when a parallel investigation is underway into foreign exchange market rigging. On March 5, the
Bank of England was forced to suspend a member of staff.
A Brief 100 Year History Of 9/11 And The Jekyll Island Banks
April 25 2014 | From: PeterDrew
Currently our 9/11 group here in the UK are working on a major project to have true 9/11 evidence presented to university
students of political studies at major universities across the UK. While the evidence about 9/11 that will hopefully be presented
will be focussed on the controlled demolition of the three towers, a big focus of the presentations will also be to initially give
the students a much broader understanding of the historical context of 9/11 so that they can better understand the evidence
they are seeing.
Many people really struggle to take on board the evidence of 9/11 because they are looking at 9/11 in isolation rather than as
just one part of a very big story. When they can see where 9/11 fits as part of the big picture, and they can see the repeating
pattern of false flag attacks throughout history by the same power structures, then they will hopefully be better able to
comprehend the evidence about 9/11 that is being presented.
This is the intention of the following 100 year historical timeline for 9/11. For the purposes of our university presentations, this
time-line is currently being made into a 12 minute mini documentary, however this written document can hopefully serve as a
useful document for all newcomers to the subject of 9/11, the global banking cartel, the Military Industrial Complex, and the
New World Order.
A Brief 100 Year History of 9/11 and the Jekyll Island Banks
By Peter Drew MSc, Independent Journalist
False Flag Attack an act of terrorism or military aggression organised and perpetrated against ones self and then blamed on
the enemy in order to justify taking certain desired actions against that enemy
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) founder of the House of Rothschild banking dynasty - Let me issue and control a nations money and I care
not who writes the laws.
The following is a 100 year time-line of key events in history which paint a much broader history and context of the events of
9/11. As demonstrated in this time-line, 9/11 was just one piece of a very large and lengthy jig-saw puzzle, albeit an extremely
important piece. It also demonstrates a much clearer rationale for why experts from all over the world are claiming that the
true events of 9/11 are very different from what we have been told by our government officials and by our media.
Enormous amounts of irrefutable scientific evidence and eye-witness accounts have now proved beyond all reasonable doubt
that the official story of 9/11 is completely false. The evidence instead strongly suggests that the real perpetrators of 9/11 were
in fact rogue elements of the US government and the Military Industrial Complex, as part of an extremely powerful and
controlling global banking cartel, both inside and outside the US, and that 9/11 was in fact the largest False Flag attack in
history. This time-line provides the broader context for demonstrating this claim.
Note: The historical points below can all be officially verified, however there are several points where a personal interpretation
of a confirmed event has been made based on extensive research.
'The Clubhouse' on Jekyll Island, Georgia, USA. Birthplace of the United States Federal Reserve System
1910 - Top secret meeting of the most powerful global bankers at Jekyll Island, Georgia, led by the Rothschild and
Rockefeller banking dynasties. There they hatch a grand, long term plan to take control of the world through totally controlling
the worlds finances. Three key strategies for achieving this grand plan include; 1) manipulating the formation of central banks
which appear to the public to be federal/national banks, but are actually under their private control, 2) continually creating wars
through false flag attacks and then funding and supporting both sides of these wars for direct profit from the war machine via
the Military Industrial Complex (war is extremely profitable), and also for strategic geopolitical purposes, and 3) controlling
what the public thinks by owning and controlling the media
1913 - The Jekyll Island bankers con US President Woodrow Wilson and US Congress into agreeing to the formation of the
US Federal Reserve Bank, a privately owned bank, owned and run by the Jekyll Island bankers, including JP Morgan, which
can print its own money out of thin air and then lend it to the US government at interest
1914 - The Jekyll Island banks secretly fund both sides of WW1
1917 - President Wilson admits that he has made a huge error by creating the Federal Reserve Bank and that he has
destroyed the future of the US; I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is
controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated
It is not widely known that the famous cartoon banker of the 'Monopoly' board game was based upon John Peirpont "J.P." Morgan himself.
1917 - JP Morgan conducts a research project to look into how much of the media would need to be bought and controlled
in order to control what the public thinks. JP Morgan then buys up that amount of the US media (the top 25 newspapers). The
Jekyll Island banks continue to buy up more and more of the media over the next 90 years until 95% of todays mainstream
media is owned and controlled by just 6 mega corporations (GE, News-Corp, Viacom, Disney, Warner, CBS), which are
ultimately all owned by the Jekyll Island banks
1929 - Bursting of the first big financial bubble created artificially and intentionally by the Federal Reserve Bank
1933 - The Reichstag false flag incident is used to promote the rise of the Nazi Party and to create the political tensions with
the Soviet Union which eventually lead to WW2
1939 - The Jekyll Island banks, including Prescott Bush (George Bush Seniors father), fund both sides of WW2. Bushs
involvement in this is discovered by US authorities and his companys assets are stripped from him for trading with the
enemy
1941 - The US military, desperate to get into WW2, waves the red flag at Japan and then allows Pearl Harbour to occur in
order to justify entry to WW2
Operation Paperclip essentially served as a German / Nazi technology transfer programme
1945 Operation Paperclip secretly moves hundreds of Nazi Secret Service Officers and scientists to the US
1947 - Under the guidance of the Nazi SS Officers, the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) is formed to gather global
intelligence about the Soviet Union and the Cold War. This is the birth of the modern day 'Military Industrial Complex' and the
shadow government controlled by the Jekyll Island banks
1949 NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) is created. On the back of NATO, the new CIA organisation, guided by the
Nazi SS Officers, begins the highly covert and highly illegal implementation of Operation Gladio whereby the CIA covertly
engages with and supports right wing extremist groups to conduct false flag attacks and create internal social-political unrest
in targeted nations in order to facilitate government regime change. This regime change is invariably followed by the insertion
of a government that is compliant with the establishment of a central/national bank owned and controlled by the Jekyll Island
banks. Various high level testimonies in the early 1990s have now confirmed the existence and activities of Operation Gladio.
Operation Gladio is still in full swing today by the CIA, with recent high profile examples being Libya (2011), Syria (2011),
Venezuela (2013), and Ukraine (2014). Nearly all nations now have a central/national bank that is actually owned by the Jekyll
Island banking cartel
1960 - In his farewell speech, President Eisenhower warns the world, and incoming President Kennedy, about the
dangerous and uncontrolled rise of power of the 'Military Industrial Complex' (all linked to the covert and illegal CIA operations
and the shadow government/Jekyll Island banks)
JFK: Taken out for trying to end the Federal Reserve amongst other matters
1961 - President Kennedy makes a passionate speech to the world warning them of the rise of power and the covert
influence of the Military Industrial Complex, the shadow government, and secret societies. In that speech he pleads with the
media to do their job of informing the people of the truth (rather than just obeying the shadow government/Jekyll Island banks
and being the propaganda arm of this now extremely powerful cartel)
1962 - President Kennedy rejects the 'Operation Northwoods' proposal for the CIA to implement a major false flag terrorist
attack against US citizens to justify war with Cuba. The plan recommended hijackings and bombings of US citizens, followed
by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. The Operation Northwoods proposal was
openly confirmed in 1998 with the release of the official documents from the National Security Archive
June 1963 - President Kennedy begins moves to try to shut down the rising power and influence of the Military Industrial
Complex and the shadow government/Jekyll Island banks by moving to shut down the Federal Reserve Bank and the CIA
November 1963 - President Kennedy is assassinated. There is overwhelming evidence of a conspiracy, with much evidence
pointing towards CIA involvement. This evidence is covered up through the Warren Commission investigation and through
classification of a huge number of documents relating to this. These documents were due to be de-classified in 2014, however
President Obama deemed that their declassification would jeopardise National Security, so he had the documents classified
for a further 70 years
November 1963 - Lyndon Johnson takes over as President and immediately reverses everything that Kennedy was doing to
shut down the shadow government/Jekyll Island banks, and instead he hugely increases the push for war with Vietnam which
Kennedy was rejecting
1964 The Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident is used to justify war with Vietnam
1968 - Bobby Kennedy runs for President and says that if he becomes President he is going to find out who killed his brother
1968 - Bobby Kennedy is assassinated
1970s, 80s - The rise of the global resource war for oil
1976 - George Bush Senior becomes the Head of the CIA
1988 George Bush Senior becomes US President
1989 Plans are made by the City of New York and the Port Authority to completely dismantle the World Trade Centre
towers. These plans were initiated because of the huge problem of asbestos throughout the buildings. Over the next decade
these plans were repeatedly thwarted and eventually dropped because the WTC towers were considered prohibitively
expensive to dismantle safely (many billions of dollars)
1989 - The Berlin Wall falls and the Cold War ends. The US now needs a new enemy to keep feeding the Military Industrial
Complex war machine/profit generator
1990 George Bush Senior launches the Gulf War as a first attempt to take greater control of the Middle East
1991 - George Bush Senior tells the world that there needs to be a 'New World Order'
1997 PNAC (Project for a New American Century) is founded. PNACs stated goal is to Promote American global
leadership (clearly linked to George Bush Seniors call for a New World Order). Key members of PNAC include Dick Cheney
and Donald Rumsfeld
2000 - George Bush Junior steals the US election
2000 A detailed report by PNAC states that the US needs to take control of 7 specific countries in the Middle East, but that
this will be a very long and slow process unless there was a 'catastrophic and catalysing event.like a new Pearl Harbour'
to make the public more accepting of large scale war in the Middle East
January 2001 Extensive work begins throughout the World Trade Centre towers by ACE Elevators, a newly formed
elevator renovation company (experts in controlled demolition have since stated that if the World Trade Centre towers were to
be brought down by controlled demolition, it would require access to the elevator shafts in order to plant the explosives in the
required positions throughout the internal infrastructure of the towers)
June 2001 - Donald Rumsfeld changes the US air defence procedures so that no airliner can be shot down unless he
specifically gives the order (previously this decision could be made by the Air Force if the situation required). Shortly after
9/11, this policy reverts back to how it was originally
July 2001 - Larry Silverstein is given the lease on all seven of the World Trade Centre towers and then takes out a massive
insurance policy on them against total destruction from an act of terrorism
June-Sept 2001 - The CIA, Condoleeza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld receive warnings from all directions from home and
around the world that a major terrorist attack is imminent on US soil. This includes knowledge that several of the alleged 9/11
hijackers are currently in the US and planning something big. The FBI attempts to get information from the CIA on the
whereabouts of the alleged hijackers to make arrests but are prevented from doing so by the CIA (this is later publicly
confirmed by Richard Clarke, the Head of US Counter Terrorism at the time)
Sept 10th, 2001 - Donald Rumsfeld holds a press conference to inform the public that $2.3 trillion has gone missing from the
Pentagon budget
Sept 11th, 2001 - PNAC gets their 'new Pearl Harbour'. The 9/11 attacks also totally destroy the area of the Pentagon
where the investigation into the missing $2.3 trillion was being conducted. As the 9/11 attacks are underway, Donald
Rumsfeld cannot be located or contacted as military personnel track the unidentified aircraft heading towards the Pentagon,
and Dick Cheney maintains the stand down order for shooting down airliners despite being questioned on it as the
unidentified aircraft approaches the Pentagon. US Secretary of Transport, Norman Mineta, later testifies under oath to confirm
this fact, but his testimony is completely stricken from the 9/11 investigation (but is still available to see on YouTube)
Sept 12th, 2001 - Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are immediately 'confirmed' as the perpetrators of 9/11
Sept 21, 2001 While visiting the Pentagon, Four Star General Wesley Clarke discovers, and later tells the world, that in
response to 9/11 there are plans to overthrow 7 specific Middle East countries in the next 5 years. These 7 countries are the
exact same countries as previously listed in PNACs report in 2000
Sept 28, 2001 - Osama bin Laden is interviewed by the Karachi, Pakistan, daily newspaper Ummat and denies any
involvement in 9/11. The entire Western media, controlled by the Jekyll Island banks, refuses to show this interview and
instead they show an alternative interview of a man alleged to be Osama Bin Laden admitting to the 9/11 attacks, but which is
later exposed to be a crude fake
October 2001 - The Patriot Act is passed which effectively destroys the US Constitution and gives the US government,
which is now very much controlled by the Military Industrial Complex/Jekyll Island banks, the legal right to do virtually anything
they want to do, all in the name of national security. This effectively turns the US into a Police State overnight and strips the
US public of their 200 year old constitutional rights created by the Founding Fathers
2002 to 2014 - $4 trillion dollars is spent on the 'war on terror'. Much of this astronomical amount of money goes to the
Military Industrial Complex/Jekyll Island Banks, and over 1 million innocent lives are lost. 5 of the 7 countries listed in the 2000
PNAC report have major incidents of 'regime change' (several of them driven by Operation Gladio), and the other 2 countries
are currently a work in progress (Syria and Iran)
Larry Silverstein bought the World Trade Center just months before 9/11 - the $6 Billion insurance plan happened to cover terrorist attacks by chance
2007 Larry Silverstein wins his legal case with his insurance firm and receives payment of $4.55 billion for the total
destruction of the WCT towers by act of terrorism. The very expensive asbestos problem had miraculously become a massive
financial windfall for Larry instead
2011 The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology conducts a substantial research project which demonstrates that there is a
massive global network of interconnected corporations controlled by just 147 giant trans-national corporations. The study
confirms that these 147 trans-national corporations now control 80% of the worlds finances, and they all converge into a small
handful of the most powerful global banks, includingthe Jekyll Island banks
And so, the grand, long term plan of the Jekyll Island banks hatched back in 1910 is nearing completion just over 100 years
later, and President Woodrow Wilsons dire prophecy in 1917 has come to total fruition.
The events of 9/11 have been a vital part of consolidating the more recent stages of that grand plan.
The Physical Evidence for 9/11 being a False Flag Attack
The time-line above is a compelling demonstration of the systems and context for 9/11 being a massive False Flag attack. In
addition to this, the physical evidence to support this claim and eye-witness accounts from the first responder fire fighters is
absolutely overwhelming.
In particular the evidence is overwhelming that the Twin Towers and the third tower to collapse, WTC Building 7, were brought
down through controlled demolition rather than from fires from the crashed airliners as the official story of 9/11 has told us. As
a starting point for looking into the evidence for this, below are just a few very useful references:
1. The Creature from Jekyll Island best-selling book by G. Edward Griffin
2. The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 book by David Ray Griffin

7. Loose Change documentary
How do the Jekyll Island Banks get together to make their grand plans?
For information on how the Military Industrial Complex/Jekyll Island Banking Cartel conduct planning sessions for their global
plans and policies, research can be focussed on some of the following organisations which were previously unknown to
almost everyone, but are now increasingly having the light shone onto them by a much more aware public;
1) Bilderberg Group
2) Trilateral Commission
3) Council on Foreign Relations
4) Club of Rome
The Bilderberg Group is a particularly good

example. This group, made up of the most
influential financiers and political figures in
the world, gathers for three days every year
at what is supposed to be a top secret
location.
Only as recently as the late 990s, the

mainstream media was flatly denying the
existence of this group and labelling anyone
making this claim as crazy.
However, with the rise of the internet, over

the last decade the public awareness of the
Bilderberg Group has grown exponentially
every year.
At the 2013 Bilderberg meeting in

Hertfordshire, UK, the public crowds that
gathered outside the Bilderberg meeting
venue were so large (many thousands) that
a large percentage of the Hertfordshire
Police Force had to be called up to try to
maintain crowd control.
Not only did this force the mainstream media

to cover a Bilderberg meeting for the first
time ever, it also forced the existence of the
Bilderberg Group to be formally raised and
discussed in British Parliament for the first
time ever.
Concluding Comments
9/11 has directly led to the death of more than one million innocent lives so far, including thousands of US military officers and
hundreds of UK military officers. Indirect deaths will become tens of millions, or more, through the widespread use of depleted
uranium weapons which have effectively nuked Iraq , Libya, and other nations .
22 US military officers now commit suicide every day due to the horrific war crimes they have been asked to commit on behalf
of the Jekyll Island banking cartel/Military Industrial Complex.
The disparity between the richest 1% and the rest of the population is now the greatest it has ever been in history
Nations all over the world are currently in a state of national debt crisis that is mathematically impossible for them to escape
from, and as a consequence they are suffering from brutal austerity measures that are being dictated to governments by the
same banks who hold their debt. See Greece, Spain, Portugal and numerous others.
The majority of the debt incurred by these nations has been created by central/national banks which are actually privately
owned banks (owned by the Jekyll Island banking cartel). Those privately owned banks have the right to print their own money
out of thin air and then lend it to the government of that nation and charge them interest. A large portion of your taxes goes to
covering the repayment of the interest on those loans to the government. It is that completely fraudulent debt, created by
completely fraudulent interest, that is now crippling nations all over the world with brutal austerity measures.
In 2011, the global public began to wake up in mass to the realisation that there is something VERY wrong with the global
banking and finance system. The Occupy Wall Street protest quickly spread around the world to include 900 different cities
as it became the largest and longest running public protest movement in history.
Your taxes are what have funded the contrived global war on terror, and your taxes are what have funded the murder of the
one million+ innocent people who have died on the back of 9/11, as well as the genocidal irradiation of nations. Your taxes are
being used for highly illegal and highly immoral purposes. More and more of your money is being continually taken from you
through so-called austerity measures in order to fund more and more of this grand theft and genocidal activity. Every banking
transaction you make, every pound or dollar that you spend at a large corporate store, and every litre of petrol that you pump
into your car helps to fund and maintain this system.
This doesn't have to happen. We don't have to keep supporting this and accepting this.
Our governments, politicians, and controlled media certainly will not be stepping forward to tackle this problem.
ONLY YOU CAN.
Goldman Sachs Plans for the DEPOPULATION of the East Coast of New Zealand for Oil
& Gas Drilling by BP, Shell Oil & Todd Energy
Wednesday, 18 April 2012 02:49 | From MediaWhores
Goldman Sachs plans for the depopulation of the East Coast of NZ for oil & gas drilling by BP, Shell Oil & Todd
Energy
To check any of these facts- simply Google the names involved- it is all on public record & verifiable.
Goldman Sachs are the bankers for both BP Oil and Royal Dutch Shell- the Global oil company Goliaths owned by our friends
- the English & Dutch Royal Families.
Goldman Sachs recently instructed Ironbridge Capital of Australia to purchase Media Works in NZ - the owners of TV3, Radio
Live and around 15 other radio stations across NZ - giving Ironbridge, Goldman, BP and Shell Oil a surprisingly tight grip on
New Zealand public opinion.
Goldman Sachs are also invested in Kiwirail and various ex Goldman Sachs executives have been placed in management
positions throughout their new Kiwirail. Kiwirail have recently announced they don't think it will be 'viable' to rebuild the rail line
into the Gisborne area - thus shutting down Gisborne's horticultural industry and further depopulating NZ's East Coast.
Goldman Sachs were mostly responsible for the Finance Collapse of 2008 that wiped out the US middle class, stealing their
homes off them and selling enough of that bad debt to the European banks to kick start the continuing Euro Zone collapse.
Goldman Sachs were then bailed out by US Congress and tax payers to the tune of around $10billion dollars, then paying out
around $14billion in bonuses to staff the following year. Theft on a grand scale in short - and pushed through by the corrupt
US Congress/ House, also in their control.
Goldman Sachs were in control of BP Oil during the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster which decimated that Coast line of the USA. In
fact Goldman Sachs sold large chunks of their stock in BP just days before the disaster. Inside information one might say.
Ironbridge Capital, controlled by the criminal Goldman Sachs have just announced they wish to purchase Environwaste in NZ
which will then give them control over the movements of any toxic waste from BP, Shell & [the New Zealand Illuminati insider
Todd family owned] Todd Energy oil and gas drilling or fracking around the Country.
John Key can also be traced back to Goldman Sachs via Bankers Trust, suggesting he is also heavily invested in Goldman
Sachs and their various criminal enterprises and crimes against societies World Wide.
BP, Shell and Todd Energy can be proven to be involved/ behind EVERY oil and gas company with interests in New Zealand -
not least of which is TAG Oil who have the rights to drill up the Canterbury basin and whose share price quadrupled on the
news of the first ChCh earthquake (Canadian stock exchange). With their extensive criminal history of destroying
environments and communities around the Globe (from Angola to Nigeria and even Iraq and now Libya), these three oil and
gas Nazi's are very careful to use 'small' third party oil companies that they own anyway, but with different names.
Now please allow Media Whores to join the dots here:
John Key left Merrill Lynch, another well known partner of Goldman Sachs just prior to the US housing market collapse and
just in time to come back to New Zealand and suddenly become the leader of the National Party. On being elected, Goldman
Sachs (via Ironbridge) raced in to buy up Media Works and take control over 50% of NZ media. They also raced in to buy
Kiwirail around the same time - a deal in which John Key is on record lying about his shareholding to the public and then
profiting from the deal.
Since these events, we have had 'news' filtered through to us that proven oil,gas and mineral resources around NZ could be
worth as much as $4 trillion dollars (Stuff newspaper). Around 30 "fracking licenses" have been issued to oil and gas
companies around NZ to allow them to carry out toxic fracking which has been extensively proven World Wide to poison local
water supplies and cause earthquakes.
The East Coast of New Zealand has been suffering Earthquakes and 'record' floods ever since (please also refer our article
on HAARP - the military 'weather weapon' which targets the jet streams to cause massive floods and is proven to also cause
Earthquakes).
After two record floods in the Eastcape / Gisborne areas in the past 6 months, the Goldman Sachs controlled Kiwirail have
now announced they will not be able to rebuild the rail line for that area - which will destroy the likes of Watties and other large
agricultural businesses in that area, forcing even more people to leave their homes.
Shortly after the Christchurch earthquakes, a massive phosphate find was announced just 450km off the Coast of
Christchurch - enough to mine 1 million tonnes of phosphate per annum.
Tag Oil, whose share price rocketed on the news of the Christchurch earthquakes that killed 185 people and destroyed 10,000
homes in the City have since also announced that the entire Eastcoast of NZ could be a find "equal to the size of Texas". In
an investor-targeted presentation, TAG Oil has told investors in North America the East Coast is literally leaking oil and gas.
The Rena ship was also grounded during these developments, spilling toxic chemicals and trash into the Oceans and right
across the Eastcape region, effecting the locals food supply and tourism businesses and further encouraging people to leave
the area.
Could it be any clearer Kiwis?
The criminal Goldman Sachs have quite clearly planning and working towards the depopulation of the East Coast of NZ- or
anywhere they have found minerals, oil or gas. They have been employing the US military weapon HAARP to cause record
flooding in the areas they need to depopulate.
They paid off the captain & or owners of the Rena to go 50 miles off target and wreck the ship where it would cause the most
environmental damage possible. They used either HAARP or just underwater explosions to trigger Earthquakes around
Canterbury, killing 185 people and depopulating the whole East Coast suburbs of Christchurch.
They purchased our media and all the morons that work for them so as to divert any attention to all these facts and
information. They purchased Kiwirail so they could choose which rail lines to keep working and which to close down for the
purposes of more depopulation and economic migration away from the areas where the resources lie.
They now want to buy Environwaste so they can smuggle all the toxic waste from fracking & drilling away from public view and
try bury it somewhere it can't be monitored/ tracked.
This has all been happening right in front of our faces and could not be any clearer.
John Key was placed here and the media bought to help him get in power. he is heavily invested in Bankers Trust and
therfore Goldman Sachs and will be profiting both directly and no doubt indirectly from this massive treasonous attack on NZ
and Kiwi's.
The death toll is already rising and will only get worse.
And our prized environment and tourism industries are seriously under threat.
Wake up Kiwis - the Global Banking Cartel and their Oil Companies, on behalf of the English and Dutch Royal Families are
actually killing us off and depopulating whole sections of our Country so they can rape our oil and gas.
Rise up Kiwis. Tell your friends. Discuss these facts. Research all the FACTS above using Google and / or Youtube for
evidence.
John Key must be put on trial for High Treason and locked up for the rest of his life and the criminals behind this attack on our
way of life must be exposed and bannished from ANY further dealings in New Zealand - forever - including Todd Energy and
the English Royal Family.
And New Zealanders MUST waking up to the fact that these plans have been in place for many years - 30 years by some
estimates, since Muldoon, Think Big and Todd Energy oil / gas discoveries.
Kiwis MUST learn and understand that OUR WHOLE Government is behind this - almost all of our politicians and unless we
wipe out our current Government system, Goldman Sachs will simply put Labour or the Greens in charge next and nothing will
be done / changed. They will make a lot of noise about John Key and oil drilling so that they are elected, but they will still be in
the pockets of the same Nazi / criminal / murderous bankers and politicians and will make sure nothing is really changed and
those responsible get away with their crimes- as will they.
This is NOT a democracy and hasn't been for over a generation now.
Rise up and wake up Kiwis!
You are being raped.
US Military Protecting International Banking Cartel

April 9 2014 | From: PressTV
My assessment is that 90% of the value of the US dollar comes from the US military.
- Former Assistant Housing Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts
For decades, America has used its armed strength to enforce the use of the dollar as the worlds reserve currency, effectively
making the US military the armed wing of the international banking cartel (IBC). Since 1971 when President Richard Nixon
stopped paying US debt obligations with gold, America has increasingly used its military might to prop up the value of the dollar
and enforce a global financial structure whose primary beneficiary is the US itself, and whose central bank, the Federal
Reserve, serves as the IBCs supervisory authority.
Who or what is this IBC? It consists of Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo along with Deutsche
Bank, BNP and Barclays.
Eight families reportedly control the IBC: the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans, Kuhn Loebs, Rothschilds, Warburgs,
Lazards and the Israel Moses Seifs. Besides owning the US oil behemoths Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron
Texaco, IBC member institutions are among the top ten shareholders of nearly every Fortune 500 company.
While the IBC itself has no formal status, nevertheless its members are represented by an international body, the Financial
Stability Board (FSB). Organized as the Financial Security Forum in 1999 by G7 finance ministers and central bank governors,
the FSB seeks to give momentum to a broad-based multilateral agenda for strengthening financial systems and the stability of
international financial markets.
War is extremely profitable for the IBC, since not only do its members profit from financing arms sales to both sides
during the conflicts that they themselves often initiate, but also from the post bellum reconstruction. In fact, the most
powerful of the central banking institutions in the world, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), was established
in 1930 to oversee reparation payments imposed upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles that ended the First World
War.
In addition to providing banking services for central banks worldwide, the BIS supervised the Bretton Woods
international currency agreements from the Second World War until the early 1970s, when Nixon reneged on pledges
to pay US debt obligations in gold. The BIS also works with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to expand the IBC-
imposed debt-dependency cycle among the nations of the world.
The methodology for global financial domination is really quite simple: America imports more goods than it exports and
therefore dollars flow out of the US and accumulate in the central banks of other countries. Since the US has refused to honor
these obligations in gold, the central banks are forced to invest in US treasury bills, bonds and other US financial instruments
that pay interest which is financed by the issuance of further debt.
The result is a US-dominated global financial system dependent upon maintaining the value, or more correctly, minimizing the
rate of depreciation, of the dollar, allowing the US to enjoy an extravagant consumer-based economy at the expense of the rest
of the world.
Regarding the insidious US debt-domination process, Wall Street analyst Michael Hudson explains that by running balance-of-
payments deficits that it refuses to settle in gold, it has obliged foreign governments to invest their surplus dollar holdings in
Treasury bills, that is, to relend their dollar inflows to the US Treasury.
The system is somewhat self-perpetuating, for should a non-US central bank decide to divest its dollars, it would effectively
sabotage the economy in its own country. Of course, foreign central banks and financial institutions are well aware that by
investing in US treasury securities, they will lose money since the Federal Reserve will only turn around and print more
dollars, thus further diluting the value of their reserves.
However, if these foreign institutions would fail to reinvest their dollars in more T-bills, the rate of depreciation of their dollar
holdings would accelerate dramatically. Such awareness holds most governments in check, preventing wholesale dumping of
dollars, which of course would bring the entire global system down, along with the IBC.
Hence, demand for US dollars and government and agency bonds continues even as [dollar] value falls. The losses on
these holdings represent a tax paid to the Empire', writes Catherine Austin Fitts, adding, The fundamental system is
as old as the hills. It is based on force.
Conversely, this ability of the IBC to call upon the US military, which incidentally consumes 40 percent of global
military spending, whenever and wherever the cartel's interests are threatened, results directly from the global
dominance of the dollar. India-based scholar and social activist Rohini Hensm writes, It is the dominance of the dollar
that underpins US financial dominance as a whole as well as the apparently limitless spending power that allows it to
keep hundreds of thousands of troops stationed all over the world.
In short, dollar dominance allows the obscenely profligate spending to maintain the US military's global presence,
which in turn insures the continuing hegemony of the dollar.
Nevertheless, an increasing number of challenges to this dollar hegemony regime has arisen, some of which have
necessitated suppression by the US military. Iraq is a good case in point. In November of 2000, former Iraqi dictator Saddam
Hussein announced to the world that Iraq would no longer accept dollars for petroleum transactions.
Despite the declining value of the Euro, Saddam demanded payment for Iraqi oil in the troubled currency while declaring
dollars to be the currency of the enemy. By 2002, Iraqi oil was being traded in Euros, effectively dumping the dollar. Former
US President George W. Bush, who was a deputy of the IBC from the oil industry, used the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a
convenient excuse to invade Iraq in March 2003, thus eliminating Saddams threat to dollar domination.
When former Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi tried to establish a state-run central bank and trade petroleum in non-dollar
currencies, the IBC tapped NATO to intervene. On March 19, 2011, a mere month after initial internal unrest, the Transitional
National Council rebels announced they were establishing the Libyan Oil Company as the supervisory authority on oil
production and policies, and designated the Central Bank of Benghazi as the authority for monetary policies.
That a local group of rebels one month into a rebellion would form a national oil company and designate a private central bank
astounded Robert Wenzel of the Economic Policy Journal who remarked, I have never before heard of a central bank being
created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising. Confirming suspicions of IBC involvement, the US Treasury placed
sanctions on Qaddafis National Oil Corporation, but assured the rebels, Should National Oil Corporation subsidiaries or
facilities come under different ownership and control, Treasury may consider authorizing dealings with such entities.
Other countries have had enough of the IBC and its armed wing. Both Russia and China have expressed their distaste for the
dollar status quo and US threats of sanctions or military force. On Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012, China announced that any nation in
the world that wishes to buy, sell, or trade crude oil can do using the Chinese currency, not the American dollar.
Following suit the next day, Russia announced that it would sell China all the crude oil it wanted but it would not accept US
dollars. In addition, Russia has recently unveiled a payment system, called the PRO 100 Universal electronic card, designed to
bypass the IBC should it again decide to block credit card services to Russian banks. There is little doubt in my mind but that
Russia and China and no doubt many other countries around the world are getting angry as hell about the US abusing its
foreign currency privilege, wrote investment banker Jay Taylor.
Iran, of course, has long been targeted by the IBC for refusing to surrender to US-imposed sanctions and threats of
military force. Iran had completely eliminated the use of US dollars for oil trading by December 2007 and inaugurated
its Bourse (stock exchange) for trading petroleum in non-dollar currencies in February 2008, coinciding with the 29th
anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Additionally, the IBC has tried to cut off Iran from using SWIFT, Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunications, for international transactions. However, with the world's second-largest gas reserves and third-
largest oil reserves, Iran retains the potential to strike a major blow against US dollar hegemony.
The question is how can we put an end to this stranglehold on the global financial system by the IBC and its armed wing?
Hensm gives us a simple, straightforward answer: Destroy US dollar hegemony, and the Empire will collapse. If more
nations join Iran, Russia and China, and opt out of the US dollar protection racket, then this evil Empire will surely collapse
along with its armed wing.
Wall Street Banker New Zealand Prime Minister John Key Drops the US Dollar?
March 19 2014 | From: AotearoaAWiderPerspective and Stuff
This is big! John Key as a Wall street banker signed a deal with the Chinese to deal directly with them and not via the
global currency the US dollar? On whose orders you might ask!
The Great Hall of the People, Beijing
New Zealand has become one of the first countries in the world to be allowed direct currency trading with Chinese, a move
aimed at reducing the cost of business in the economic superpower.
Prime Minister John Key announced the deal after a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at the Great Hall of the People
in Beijing last night (NZ time), the first day of his state visit this week.
The deal would make doing business with China easier by reducing the costs of converting between the two currencies, and
will stimulate trade and investment, Key said.
The announcement was a sign of how close the relationship is growing. Since he became prime minister, exports had
quadrupled to $10 billion, he said.

SFO Charges Ex-Barclays Bankers Over Libor Rigging

February 17 2014 | From: TheTelegraph
Three charged by the Serious Fraud Office over alleged Libor manipulation
David Green, director-general, of the SFO, which has charged three former Barclays employees in connection with its investigation into Libor-rigging
Three former Barclays bankers have been charged by the Serious Fraud Office over allegations that they were involved in
attempts to manipulate Libor.
Peter Johnson and Jonathan Mathew, who both left Barclays in September 2012, and Stylianos Contogoulas, who worked at
the bank for just under four years before leaving in April 2006, have been charged by the SFO with conspiracy to defraud
between June 1, 2005 and August 31, 2007.
The charges were announced by the SFO and takes the total number of individuals facing criminal proceedings over
allegation linked to Libor-rigging to six.
Tom Hayes, a former trader at Citigroup and UBS, was charged last June, while brokers, Terry Farr and James Gilmour were
charged a month later.
The SFO is continuing to investigate the manipulation of benchmark interest rates and further charges are expected.
Speaking to The Telegraph in December, David Green, director-general of the SFO, described the investigation into Libor as
"enormous" and said he was "sure" more individuals would be charged in connection with the allegations.
Mr Johnson, Mr Mathew, and Mr Contogoulas were among a list of 104 current and former Barclays bankers who last year
attempted to keep their identities anonymous as part of a legal case brought against the bank by a care home operator that
claims it was defrauded into buying interest rate hedging products.
Barclays declined to comment.

International Ownership of New Zealand Banks
An Analysis of the Key Majority Shareholders of the Main New Zealand

and Australian Banks
Including a Global Overview and Implications of the Central Banking /

Federal Reserve Banking System
Who Owns New Zealand's Banks?

November 23 2013
This project began as a simple investigation into who owns

the main banks in New Zealand. We knew they were
Australian owned, but that's not quite all.
The research quickly became much more involved as the shareholding

structure traced right back up through the main Australian banks and into a
deeply entangled web of interlocking international shareholdings by way of
multiple entities, comprising many of the largest banking and financial
institutions in the world.
Data from the findings of other research is included and cross-referenced

into the upper echelons of corporate ownership, to the central banking and
reserve banking systems and ultimately to the Bank for International
Settlements. While this research started out with a New Zealand focus, it is
ultimately relevant to anyone in any country around the globe, the principles
seem to be very similar the world over - especially given who the mega
companies at the top are.

The Truth About Free Trade and Free Trade Agreements
Article Text From: Occupy
To discuss free trade agreements or the free market, we must first identify the theoretical versus the functional
definitions of these terms because theoretical definitions look at what those terms should mean, whereas
functional definitions look at what the terms mean actually.
The theoretical definition of a free market is one in which every individual actor in the realm of exchange exists in a state of
equality of opportunity; where all compete with one another to produce the best products at the cheapest prices for
consumers, thus the most innovative and efficient producers succeed while others fail, unregulated - and unhelped - by the
state.
Within free markets, what we call free trade agreements are meant to reduce barriers such as tariffs, subsidies and
regulations so that market "competitors" can freely move products and goods across borders and compete in an ever-
expanding global free market."
The functional, or technical, definition of a free market is one in which the state regulates the market the realm of economic
exchange and activity for the benefit of large transnational corporations and banks.
Barriers to profits, such as environmental, labor, safety and financial regulations, are dismantled. Meanwhile, subsidies and
legal rights and protections are granted to major corporations, undermining competition and supporting monopolization.
So while the rhetoric of free markets tends to be all about reducing state interference in the economy, in actuality
state interference increases - but only for the benefit of large corporations and banks.
At the same time, state interference decreases in sectors that benefit the actual population, such as welfare, social
services, pensions, healthcare, education, labor protections and so on. In the actual "free market," these protections
are dismantled, subjecting populations to market discipline quite unlike the large corporations and banks that
receive direct protection against market discipline.
The most obvious example of this is the post-2008 bank bailouts.
In a theoretical free market, all the banks that gambled badly would have failed and collapsed. But with the functional free
market we have today, the banks went to the state and got bailed out with trillions of dollars of taxpayer money.
The same dichotomy exists for the term free trade agreement, which in theory is the opposite of protectionism, where
states intervene in the market by establishing tariffs, regulations, subsidies and protections for various imports and exports,
thus undermining the free market.
The technical definition, however, is one in which protectionism is rampant, with enormous subsidies and protective barriers,
and very often includes thousands of pages of regulations and provisions. But because all of this is done to protect corporate
and financial interests, it is called free trade. It is protectionism if the barriers, regulations and protections benefit the nation
or population and prevent transnational corporations and banks from having unhindered access to the market?
Likewise, is it free trade if the barriers, regulations, and protections benefit corporations and banks at the expense of the
nation and population? In actuality, so-called free trade is a drain on the economy, creates enormous national debts,
undermines labor, creates poverty and exploitation, wastes natural resources and devastates the environment. However, it is
very profitable for banks and corporations, so is endlessly repeated as something good and necessary.
The Theory of Free Trade
In theory, free trade would enhance competition because it would allow all parties to compete on an even playing field
internationally, thus companies would have to find ways to lower their costs of production while increasing their product
standards, ultimately decreasing the final price to consumers. In this theoretical form of "free trade," the best and cheapest
product, the company that made it, and the consumer and society as a whole would all benefit.
The Reality of Free Trade
The reality is the exact opposite: the production cycle is broken up (this is commonly called offshoring), which increases the
use of transportation, resources and the overall cost of production, making the final product more expensive to consumers.
Case in point is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), where competition between corporations is undermined
while access to resources and markets is enhanced, subsidized and protected.
Corporate cooperation with each other and the state is enhanced while the poor, working and middle classes of Canada, the
United States and Mexico are put in direct competition with each other. Corporations in Canada and the U.S. close their
factories and move them to Mexico where labor is cheaper, increasing unemployment and poverty, destroying unions and
labor protections, and forcing down wages while costs and corporate profits increase.
The role of the state is to regulate these markets and agreements for the benefit of the corporations and banks, and to force
the populations to compete with each other in a race to the bottom: market monopolization for the elite, and market discipline
for the population.
The break-up of the production cycle, especially from the late 1980s onward, has redefined what trade actually is. Typically,
we think of trade as a system where countries export and import products or goods. With the era of free trade, the production
cycle was no longer confined within national borders, and was broken up between several countries.
The result was that a large percentage of what we call trade is actually one corporation moving parts or goods to a
subsidiary or another corporation in a different country, to continue the production cycle until it returns to the home country as
a finished product for consumption.
This is referred to as intra-industry trade (transporting parts or goods between corporations) or intra-firm trade (transporting
parts or goods between a corporation and its subsidiaries). When the parts move across borders, often several times before
the final product is created, customs agents at borders register the cumulative value of those products as a traded good, and
these numbers are then used to determine the actual contribution of that good to the economy.
For example, a product which has parts manufactured in Canada, assembled in Mexico, and sold in the United States, would
have to cross borders several times before it becomes a final product. Each time the parts cross a border, the total value of
those parts at that time of transport gets registered as an import/export, instead of differentiating between the value added at
each part of the production cycle. Thus, the statistics of exports and imports become heavily skewed and inflated since they
do not account for value-added. While the production cycle is broken up over several countries, the determination of value
is not broken up to fit the actual trading system as it exists.
For a hypothetical comparison to reveal how absurd this process is, imagine a country that attempts to measure the total
education of its population by including in its statistics the degrees and credentials of all the tourists who entered the country
for short periods of time. The recorded education level of the countrys population would be enormously inflated, since the
educated tourists entering the nation would not be staying and contributing their education to the benefit of the society.
Something similar happens when parts move across borders several times before they become a finished product, yet have
their total value registered each time they cross a border.
According to a report from a Canadian think tank, the Conference Board of Canada, if countries were to apply a value-added
measurement of trade instead of using inflated numbers applied to the cumulative value of a good, the actual contribution of
trade to a country would rapidly diminish.
In conventional measurements, trade accounts for 35% of Canadas economy, but with the value-added measurement, it
drops to 24%. These manipulations are important because they serve as a basis for claiming that countries like Canada are
trade dependent nations, which justify implementing more free trade agreements.
When a country imports more than it exports, it builds up a large amount of debt called a trade deficit. When a country exports
more than it imports, it establishes a trade surplus.
However, because the process of determining the value of imports and exports is enormously inflated and misleading,
countries are saddled with inflated and inaccurate debts. They are then pressured into reducing those debts through austerity
measures, which punish those countries' populations into poverty.
Foxconn, the company that manufactures Apple products in China has been plagued with disaster stories. The relentless working hours and conditions
had driven so many 'employees' to suicide by jumping off the roof that the company had to install preventative safety nets and window bars.
Apple is a great example of this process, often hailed as one of the great corporate success stories, being enormously
profitable and therefore good for the economy. As the Asian Development Bank Institute in Tokyo reported in 2010, while
Apple is a U.S.-based company, the iPhone is itself considered to be a Chinese export to the U.S.
The iPhone is produced in many different pieces and parts through several Asian and European countries, which are then
transported to China where they are assembled and shipped to the United States and elsewhere.
The estimated value of the Chinese laborers in assembling the iPhone was 3.6% (or $6.50) of the total value of the finished
product, estimated at $178.96 in 2009. Yet, the wholesale cost of the shipped iPhone is credited to China as an export. China
was merely the last stop in the production cycle, but China records the total value of the finished product as an export, while
the United States records it as an import. Thus, the researchers at the Asian Development Bank Institute concluded that even
high-tech products invented by U.S. companies will not increase U.S. exports.
Pascal Lamy, director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO), commented, What we call Made in China is indeed
assembled in China, but what makes up the commercial value of the product comes from the numerous countries... The
concept of country of origin for manufactured goods has gradually become obsolete.
If trade statistics were adjusted to reflect the actual value contributed to a given product by a country, the U.S. trade deficit
with China (which in 2010 stood at $226.88 billion) would likely be cut in half. In 2009, the iPhone left the United States with a
$1.9 billion trade deficit with China, but if the value-added approach to determining trade statistics were applied, the United
States would have a $48 million trade surplus with China (in relation to the iPhone alone).
With the production cycle broken up and scattered around the globe, this adds enormous costs to transportation of equipment,
machinery, goods and products between these nations, which in turn requires enormous quantities of oil and fuel to facilitate
this transport system, and thus produces unnecessary amounts of pollution.
Because of the high costs of transportation, fuel, and assembly, the value of the end product goes up, making it far more
costly than if it were simply produced in one or two countries.
With countries determining their exports and imports based on inflated and inaccurate statistics, populations are saddled with
enormous debts and thus the financial cost of breaking up the production cycle lands on the shoulders of the population, who
were already subjected to increased competition between labor forces, reduced environmental and social protections,
dismantled subsidies and regulations, increased personal debt and poverty.
So if free trade agreements are bad for people, bad for labor at home and abroad and bad for the environment and the
nation as a whole, why are they pursued?
The answer is simple: they create enormous profits for banks and corporations, whose losses are subsidized by the state. In
an actual free market, breaking up the production cycle would be far too costly to be a rational choice for a corporation, but
because the state takes on the cost of doing so (largely through its trade deficit), the process continues.
When it comes to agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it is not difficult to see what the results will be: increased
subsidies, protections and regulations for the benefit of large corporations and banks (notably the 600 corporations involved in
secretly drafting the agreement over recent years) and decreased protections, subsidies and regulations that benefit the
population, environment and society as a whole.
The TPP advances corporate monopolistic protections through intellectual property rights; undermines labor protections,
putting the working class of 11 different nations in direct competition with one another; dismantles environmental protections
and financial regulations; and expands corporate rights and privileges to allow undemocratic corporate institutions to
challenge national laws through an unaccountable international tribunal of corporate lawyers who are given powers to overturn
national laws or demand immense compensation from any nations that hinder those corporations' potential profits, thus
further increasing the heavy cost of free trade.
The Occupy movement and other activists have a strong mandate to oppose the TPP and all related free trade agreements.
Popular opinion is swinging against free trade as people seem instinctively to recognize even without all the details that
such agreements undermine labor, increase debt and benefit only the rich.
But while public opinion may oppose the TPP in principle, the bigger problem is that "the public" does not know the TPP even
exists. This is a challenge that the Occupy movement can step up to: promoting an educational campaign that crosses
borders, organizing international protests and actions against the TPP, and establishing a free market of resistance based
upon the free trade of information.
As corporate rights expand and democratic rights decrease, so must people demand an end to the TPP. Organized
resistance, information and action have stopped free trade agreements in the past, and they can and must do so in the
future. The coming corporate tyranny of the Trans-Pacific Partnership can only be defeated through a democratic movement
of Transnational People Power.
Our already frail and dying democratic institutions lack the capacity to take up the challenge, so the challenge now rests with
the people alone.

Central Banking and The Federal Reserve System
1. Central Banking
The Federal Reserve System of the United States and Central Banking in the rest of the world are parts of the same system.
The two countries remaining without a central bank are Monaco and the Vatican. If you understand anything about who is in
control of these places, you will understand why they do not have nor require central banks.
It is in fact true that the Rothschild family has been slowly but surely establishing their central banks in every country of the
world, giving them an incredible amount of wealth and power.
By 2000 there were seven countries left without an (effectively) Rothschild owned central bank:
Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, Iran
It is no coincidence that these countries were and are still being attacked by the western media, since one of the main reasons
these countries were under attack in the first place was because they did not have a central bank in place.
The first step in establishing a central bank in a country is to get them to accept an outrageous loan, which puts the country in
debt of the central bank and under the control of the Rothschilds.
If the country does not accept the loan, the leader of this particular country will be assassinated and a Rothschild aligned
leader will be put into position, and if the assassination does not work, the country will be invaded and a central bank will be
established with force all under the name of terrorism.
The Attacks of September 11th 2001 were an inside job, one of many reasons of which was to invade Afghanistan and Iraq to
then establish central banks in those countries.
After the ensuing engineered wars, by 2003 there were only five countries without a central bank:
Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, Iran
The only countries left in 2011 without a central bank were:
Cuba, North Korea, Iran
It should also be noted that neither Monaco nor The Vatican have a central bank. These however are very small, cabal
controlled entities and so would never be subjected to central banking.
After the instigated protests and riots in the Arab countries the banksters finally paved their way to establishing central banks,
getting rid of many leaders in the process - which gave them even more power.
Central banks are not owned by their local corporate governments, they are privately owned and are completely separate from
the Treasury departments of their respective governments.
What Do Central Banks Actually Do?
Central banks all make convoluted cover statements in order to justify their existence. That is not to say that all of the staff are
in on it, but those who are at the top of each reserve bank know exactly what they are doing. They are either part of the cabal,
or minions of it under bribery and or threat.
storing value, and keeping account. The Bank also promotes a sound and efficient financial system. To fulfil these
functions, the Bank carries out a wide range of tasks, from operating monetary policy to monitoring and supervising the
health of the financial system, maintaining foreign reserves, operating in the financial markets if necessary, and issuing
currency as required.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is officially listed as an asset of the crown, which is effectively the banksters which run the
City of London not the Queen of England.
Why is a privately owned and run banking institution issuing and controlling the currency of my country?
It is interesting to note that within the very large Reserve Bank of New Zealand coat of arms, located on the wall to the rear of
the reception area of said central bank, you will see a red shield. As we know, in old German, red shield translates to Roth-
schild (red-shield).
If you look closely you can see the red shield (Roths - Child in old German)
Central banks do more harm than good. From obscuring the true cost of credit to causing confusion about good investments,
central bankers end up papering over economic problems. And when they send the wrong messages to savers and consumers
trying to coordinate their plans, boom and bust cycles lengthen and worsen.
In effect, the central banks have almost complete control of a countrys economy, and can create and control boom and bust
cycles.
There are a number of ways the Reserve Bank helps to maintain financial stability, including through the regulation
and supervision of banks, non-bank deposit takers and insurers, promoting the smooth operation of financial markets,
and building sound financial market infrastructure.
All of the financial institutions of virtually every country are registered with, regulated by and supervised by their local central
bank.
Central banks and central bankers are the reason why the world is in economic and martial turmoil and why many millions of
people languish in the pits of poverty and financial ruin.
Central banks are privately owned or controlled cartels which covertly run the world. They operate for the exclusive profit of a
small group of powerful families whose death grip on global finance can be traced back generations. They control
governments, monarchies, and multinational organisations like the UN, the WHO, the WTO, and a host of other influential
bodies.
the like, to promote their policies and to eradicate all opposition. They wield their inordinate global control by indoctrinating
chosen leaders into powerful secret societies and insider groups like the Freemasons, Bilderberg, Council on Foreign
Relations, just to name a few.
Monetary Fund, and the Bank for International Settlements. The first two were set up at Bretton Woods in 1944 to plunder and
loot and enrich a handful of bankster dynasties.
We were fortuitously alerted to the plot of Rothschild-controlled central banks ruling the world by Professor Caroll Quigley in his
1966 book, Tragedy And Hope, a scholarly tome of almost 1,400 pages. Quigley was an insider in the exclusive world of the
corporatists and the international bankers and had access to private research material. For some unknown reason, the original
publisher Macmillan only printed 9,000 copies.
financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world
as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert
by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. Tragedy And Hope, (see Chapter 20).
2. The Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve System of the United States probably has the highest profile of all of the central banks. It is highly
influential in the central banking hierarchy.
G. Edward Griffin is an American film producer, author, and political lecturer. He is perhaps best known as the author of The
Creature from Jekyll Island (1994), a critique of much modern economic theory and practice, specifically the Federal Reserve
System.
In beginning to describe this situation, Mr Griffin reckons the best place to

begin is with the formation of the "creature from Jekyll Island"; the creation of
the Federal Reserve.
Jekyll Island is a real island that's off the coast of Georgia. It was on that
island back in 1910 that the Federal Reserve System was created at a highly
secret meeting that took place there.
The year was 1910, that was three years before the Federal Reserve Act was
finally passed into law. It was November of that year when Senator Nelson
Aldrich sent his private railroad car to the railroad station in New Jersey and
there it was in readiness for the arrival of himself and six other men who were
told to come under conditions of great secrecy.
Senator Nelson Aldrich was the Republican whip in the Senate, he was the
chairman of the National Monetary Commission which was the special
committee of Congress created for the purpose of making a recommendation
to Congress for proposed legislation to reform banking.
Senator Nelson Aldrich was the Republican whip in the Senate, he was the chairman of the National Monetary Commission
which was the special committee of Congress.
That was one of the purposes of the National Monetary Commission which was to propose legislation to break the grip of the
money trust and Aldrich was chairman of that committee. He was also the very important business associate of J. P. Morgan.
He was the father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. which means that eventually he became the grandfather of Nelson
Rockefeller, our former vice-president. His full name was Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller; his middle name being derived from his
famous grandfather.
Abraham Andrew who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He later became a Congressman and he was very important in
banking circles.
Frank Vanderlip was there. He was the President of the National City Bank of New York which was the largest of all of the
banks in America representing the financial interests of William Rockefeller and the international investment firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Company
Henry Davison was there, the senior partner of the J. P. Morgan Company. Charles Norton was there; he was the President of
the First National Bank of New York which was another one of the giants.
Benjamin Strong was at the meeting; he was the head of J. P. Morgan's Banker's Trust Company and three years later he
would become the first head of the Federal Reserve System.
Paul Warburg who was probably the most important at the meeting because of his knowledge of banking as it was practiced in
Europe. Paul Warburg was born in Germany and eventually became a naturalized American citizen. He was a partner in Kuhn,
Loeb & Company and was a representative of the Rothschild banking dynasty in England and France where he maintained
very close working relationships throughout his entire career with his brother, Max Warburg, who was the head of the Warburg
banking consortium in Germany and the Netherlands.
'The Clubhouse' on Jekyll Island, Georgia USA
These were the seven men aboard that railroad car who were at Jekyll Island. Amazing as it may seem, they represented
approximately 1/4 of the wealth of the entire world. These are the men that sat around the table and created the Federal
Reserve System.
Consider the composition of this group. Here we had the Morgans, the Rockefellers, Kuhn, Loeb & Company, the Rothschilds
and the Warburgs. Anything strange about that mixture? These were competitors. They were the major competitors in the field
of investment and banking in those days; these were the giants. Prior to this period they were beating their heads against each
other, blood all over the battlefield fighting for dominance in the financial markets of the world. Not only in New York but
London, Paris and everywhere. And here they are sitting around a table coming to an agreement of some kind.
A cartel is a group of independently owned businesses which come together for the purpose of reducing or eliminating
competition between themselves to enhance their profit margin or to secure their positions in the market. They do this by
various means one of which is price fixing i.e. no competition on price. There are other means.
On New Zealands Prime Minister John Key
In 1995 John Key became Merrill Lynch's Head of Asian

foreign exchange in Singapore, where later in that same
year he was promoted to the Head of Foreign Exchange of
Merrill Lynch Global in London.
He was also Head of Bonds and Derivatives, Merill Lynch

(around 2001 - according to his own website).
Key was a Member of the Foreign Exchange Committee of

the New York Federal Reserve Bank from 1999 to 2001.
Membership is by appointment only.

3. The Bank for International Settlements
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is the most powerful bank in the world.
The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of
financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world
as a whole.
Prof. Caroll Quigley, Georgetown University, Tragedy and Hope (1966)
The Bank for International Settlements has been called the Central Banks Central Bank and it is headquartered in Basel,
Switzerland.
The BIS is a closed organisation of 60 major central bank members (including the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the US
Federal Reserve of course), and the decisions made in Basel often have more of an impact on the direction of the global
economy than anything the president of the United States or the U.S. Congress are doing.
All you have to do is to look back at the last financial crisis to see an example of this. Basel II and Basel 2.5 played a major role
in precipitating the subprime mortgage meltdown. Now a new set of regulations known as "Basel III" are being rolled out. The
implementation of these new regulations is beginning this year, and they will be completely phased in by 2019. These new
regulations dramatically increase capital requirements and significantly restrict the use of leverage.
Those certainly sound like good goals, the problem is that the entire global financial system is based on credit at this point, and
these new regulations are going to substantially reduce the flow of credit.The only way that the giant debt bubble that we are
all living in can continue to persist is if it continues to expand. By restricting the flow of credit, these new regulations threaten to
burst the debt bubble and bring down the entire global economy.
Translated from the original German article Sept. 19 2013: The Bank for International Settlements warns the situation with financial markets is worse
than prior to the Lehman Bros. bankruptcy. This could be why the US Federal Reserve is now printing money indefinitely, as control over debt has long
gone.
Note that the current global financial system is sustainable by any means. Anyone with half a brain can see that the global
financial system is a pyramid scheme that is destined to collapse. But Basel III may cause it to collapse faster than it might
otherwise have.
The heads of these 60 central banks travel to the Basel headquarters once every two months, and the General Meeting, the
BISs supreme executive body, takes place once a year.
Formally registered as a stock corporation, it is recognised as an international organisation and, therefore, is not subject to any
jurisdiction other than international law. Interestingly, the BIS is largely immune from regulation, oversight or taxes and its
members and employees enjoy extensive immunity. No other institution regulates the BIS, despite the fact that it manages
about 4 percent of the worlds total currency reserves, or 217 trillion ($304 trillion), as well as 120 tons of gold.
Central bankers are not elected by the people but are appointed by their governments. Nevertheless, they wield power that
exceeds that of many political leaders. Their decisions affect entire economies, and a single word from their lips is capable of
moving financial markets. They set interest rates, thereby determining the cost of borrowing and the speed of global financial
currents.
The BIS has been scandal-ridden ever since it was branded with pro-Nazi leanings in the 1930s. Founded in Basel,
Switzerland, in 1930, the BIS has been called the most exclusive, secretive, and powerful supranational club in the world.
Charles Higham wrote in his book Trading with the Enemy that by the late 1930s, the BIS had assumed an openly pro-Nazi
bias, a theme that was expanded on in a BBC Timewatch film titled Banking with Hitler broadcast in 1998.
In 1944, the American government backed a resolution at the Bretton-Woods Conference calling for the liquidation of the BIS,
following Czech accusations that it was laundering gold stolen by the Nazis from occupied Europe; but the central bankers
succeeded in quietly snuffing out the American resolution.
Making the Most of Borrowed Time
23 June 2013 - 83rd BIS Annual Report 2012/2013
Originally forged to describe central banks' actions to prevent financial collapse, "whatever it takes" has become a
rallying cry for them to continue their extraordinary policies. But we are past the height of the crisis, and the goal of
policy today is to return to strong and sustainable growth.
Authorities need to hasten structural reforms so that economic resources can more easily be used in the most
productive manner. Households and firms have to complete the repair of their balance sheets.
Governments must redouble their efforts to ensure the sustainability of their finances. And regulators have to adapt the
rules to an increasingly interconnected and complex financial system and ensure that banks set aside sufficient capital
to match the associated risks.
Only forceful efforts at such repair and reform can return economies to strong and sustainable real growth.
The New Zealand Government: A United States SEC Registered Corporation
Why A Corporation May Not Legally Govern; Corporatised Governments of Other Countries
& An Investigation into the Reserve Bank of New Zealand 'Corporation'
Would you be surprised to discover that a company with the same name as

Confirmed - Loans & Mortgages Are Created Out Of Thin Air By The Banks
February 13 2013 | From: TVNZ / Youtube
This stunning news clip from New Zealand TV news show 'Seven Sharp' confirms the revelations shared by 'The Money
Masters' and other such pioneering thinkers and researchers who have long sought to bring forward the truth about how
money works.
The is as stunning as it is simple: whenever you apply for a loan or a mortgage THE BANK YOU APPLIED TO CREATES
THE MONEY OUT OF NOTHING.
It is not lent to you from the banks' holdings, it is not borrowed from other accounts. It simply is entered into a bank account
digitally and from that day forth you are contractually responsible for paying back the created money PLUS all the interest that
accrues.
This fiat currency is destroying the confidence, trust, and agreements that we hold with one another and with merchants on a
daily basis by corrupting the medium of exchange that we all collectively agree to use.
Many will go on to expound the details of promissory notes, double entry book keeping and all sorts of other confusing details,
but it is essential that this video or the source for it at Seven Sharp should be shared with every one you know.
Please, take 5 minutes now to share this video and explain why it is so important that everyone knows that the banks are
hoodwinking the people and it does not need to be this way any more.
Revealed - The Capitalist Network That Runs The World

October 24 2012 | From NewScientist
"You will find that 80 percent of the world's wealth is directly being earned by the top 737 corporations. This was proven by
Swiss scientists Glattfelder et al.
Those 737 companies are in turn being controlled by a "super-entity" of only 147 corporations. 75 percent of them are
financial institutions. The top 50 corporations' names were published.
The highest, most powerful names on the list are all the Federal Reserve banks. The single highest and most powerful entity
on Glattfelder et al's computer-generated list was Barclays Bank."
- David Wilcock
AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears.
An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of
companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.
The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall
Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It
combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among
the world's transnational corporations (TNCs).
"Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James
Glattfelder. "Our analysis is reality-based."

New Zealand Asset Sales Policy Began On Wall Street

April 8 2012 | From AotearoaAWiderPerspective and Scoop
And another Kiwi gets it. Clutha river is also on the block for more destruction and dam building but what makes it clear in this
article is that just like with the planned West coast seabed mining, fracking, Christchurch's rebuilding monopoly of Fletcher all
roads lead back to John Key's connection with Wall street and his spectacular and suspect rise in NZ politics.
NZ Asset Sales Policy Began On Wall Street
The Key government's asset sales agenda is derived from the Washington Consensus a set of Wall Street-driven policies
that were pronounced dead after the global financial meltdown in 2008. The New Zealand government, however, remains
loyal to this failed ideology.
Why? The obvious link is Prime Minister John Key a former investment banker for Merrill Lynch, the world's largest
brokerage failure.
In most other countries, state asset sales have become a last resort on the road to poverty and ruin, but for the Key
government, asset sales are business as usual.
So what's really behind asset sales?

All wealth extraction is facilitated by international and national economic policies, coupled with the private banking system,
which together deliver benefits to the financial elite by transferring wealth upward within and between nations.
The state asset sales policy is just one of several reforms under the Washington Consensus, a set of monetary and economic
policies designed to allow: the privatization of public resources and utilities, the removal of barriers to foreign investment and
ownership, the sale of state assets, trade liberalization, deregulation, the lowering of business taxes, and cuts to public
services.
These free market reforms are collectively termed neoliberalism. Simply, they provide big business with improved legal
access to markets and assets worldwide.

Is there any truth in the allegations that informed circles made substantial profits in the financial markets in connection to the
terror attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States?
Arguably, the best place to start is by examining put options, which occurred around Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to an
abnormal extent, and at the beginning via software that played a
key role: the Prosecutor's Management Information System, abbreviated as PROMIS. [i]
PROMIS is a software program that seems to be fitted with almost magical abilities. Furthermore, it is the subject of a
decades-long dispute between its inventor, Bill Hamilton, and various people/institutions associated with intelligence agencies,
military and security consultancy firms. [1]
One of the magical capabilities of PROMIS, one has to assume, is that it is equipped with artificial intelligence and was
apparently from the outset able to simultaneously read and integrate any number of different computer programs or
databases, regardless of the language in which the original programs had been written or the operating systems and platforms
on which that database was then currently installed. [2]

Goldman, Google Executives Resign in Public
March 15 | From TheNationalBusinessReview
It seems executive craze of 2012 is to lay out heart on your sleeve and extract a little utu with a public resignation letter.
Goldman Sachs executive director Greg Smith quit yesterday.
His bosses could read about it in the paper.
Mr Smith wrote a guest editorial for The New York Times lacerating his company. He alleged it now puts its own financial
interests ahead of those of clients, who were often described as muppets.
The byline tartly notes, Greg Smith is resigning today as a Goldman Sachs executive director.
Mr Smiths very public attack on his employer came on the heels of a similar diatribe from one James Whittaker, an executive
who says he keynoted four Google events during his time with the company as a director of engineering.
Since co-founder Larry Page took over as CEO last year, Google had lost its innovative culture. The company had become
obsessed by a series of misguided efforts to peg back Facebook's lead in social networking.
Products like Wave, Buzz and Google+ were "half-assed", and the company had become overly focused on ads.
"Truth is Ive never been much on advertising," Mr Whittaker wrote.
"I dont click on ads. When Gmail displays ads based on things I type into my email message it creeps me out."

Is Germany Actually Preparing To Leave The Euro?

March 12, 2012 | From InfoWars
For a long time, most analysts have believed that if someone was going to leave the euro, it would be a weak nation such as
Greece or Portugal. But the truth is that financially troubled nations such as Greece and Portugal dont want to leave the euro.
The leaders of those nations understand that if they leave the euro their economies will totally collapse and nobody will be
there to bail them out.
And at this point there really is not a formal mechanism which would enable other members of the eurozone to kick financially
troubled nations such as Greece or Portugal out of the euro. But there is one possibility that is becoming increasingly likely
that could actually cause the break up of the euro.
Germany could leave the euro. Yes, it might actually happen. Germany is faced with a very difficult problem right now. It is
looking at a future where it will be essentially forced to bail out most of the rest of the nations in the eurozone for many years
to come, and those bailouts will be extremely expensive. Meanwhile, the mood in much of the rest of Europe is becoming
decidedly anti-German.
In Greece, Angela Merkel and the German government are being openly portrayed as Nazis. Financially troubled nations such
as Greece want German bailout money, but they are getting sick and tired of the requirements that Germany is imposing upon
them in order to get that money.

611+ Resignations From World Banks: September 2011 to April 2012

March 7, Latest Update April 24, 2012 | From AmericanKabuki thanks to Benjamin Fulford
LATEST COUNT: 611 RESIGNATIONS FROM WORLD BANKS, INVESTMENT HOUSES, MONEY FUNDS
This list includes resignations from key senior staff at the World Bank and eleven central banks and regulators for Australia,
New Zealand, Ukaraine, The Vatican, Argentina, Kuwait, Nicaragua, The United Kingdom, Italy, Iceland and Russia.
"It is not known under what circumstances these [ five hundred and ninety four plus ] individuals have left their positions, I
make no judgement on that.
I find the timing of so many resignations extremely curious and a temporal marker in history of high significance.
No one should assume I make any judgement about the character of these people. I frankly don't know their reputations
except for a few rather famous ones.
This list includes Banks, Investment Houses, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Equity Funds, Savings Retirement Funds and other
shadow banking organizations.
The line is very blurry between these entities, some are owned by banks some are banks, some invest in banks as well as
owning entire industries (common in Hong Kong and Japan)."
Below are some interesting pickings, mostly from Australia and New Zealand. Make sure you read the whole list on the link
above as it is a fascinating read. For any of you who are familiar with the work of Benjamin Fulford, you will see what is really
going on here.
It is interesting to note that the number of resignations has increased exponentially, especially since the beginning of 2012.

Current New Zealand Police & Kiwibank Computer Glitch Trial Run In Preparation (To
Confiscate Depositor's Savings)
February 20 2014 | Various Sources
Have you noticed here in New Zealand at present, following announcements yesterday (18 February, 2014) in the controlled
mainstream media, that all of a sudden, at the same time, the NZ Police just happen to announce they are very sorry for a
very embarrassing ticketing computer glitch where more than 20,000 people have been sent erroneous infringement notices
while at the same time, over 6,000 Kiwibank customers have had their bank accounts abruptly cleaned out, also supposedly
by a computer glitch, with the affected depositors refused access to their accounts or money until the system can be fixed?
Now Ill agree, this may be genuine and just a coincidence, however, it shows just how quickly and easily with computers you
can lose your life savings in the bank overnight. The fact that all the banks in New Zealand and Australia have now met the
Reserve Banks requirements for Open Bank Resolution Policy, in a financial crisis to confiscate (steal) some or all of
depositors savings by computer overnight to recapitalize the banks and stop them from failing, shows how close we are to
such a crisis.
I was speaking to a group of elderly retirees yesterday, and one couple said they had over $15 million sitting on bank deposit,
bonds and a little in the stock market, and most of the others had their life savings just sitting in savings accounts in the bank
as is normal for the elderly these days.
As diplomatically as I could, I asked them all if they had early or advanced stages of dementia, or had completely lost their
marbles, or if they even knew about OBR?
Response: Youre crazy, they would never do that! My answer: Look, you might as well give all your money to your family, or
better, to me now and Ill put it to good use in real assets, a big schooner for myself, or charity, rather than just leave it in the
bank where these banking pirates are soon going to steal it, or inflation is going to rot it or Big Brother will tax it.
His reply: My wife makes very good scones. The ones with the blackberry jam are simply beautiful. Try one, simply delicious!

Alex Jones Names the New Zealand Prime Minister as a Bankster Plant
From AotearoaAWiderPerspective
Here is an interview with Max Keiser in which the New Zealand Prime minister is named as one of the international banker

Saxon countries such as New Zealand are part of an oligarchical global system and it should come as no surprise that like in
the US and Europe that Oligarchical elite gets richer and richer while you and I get poorer and poorer.

Who Is Going To Be The Next Unelected Rothschild Representative Running Our Money
Supply?
January 31st 2012 | From: AotearoaAWiderPerspective
Bollard who has been the unelected Rothschild representative running this countrys money supply needs to be replaced
apparently.
So here are the contenders. Anyone with knowledge about these individuals such as connections with the trilateral
commission or Bilderbergers is cordially invited to leave links here.
Reserve Bank chairman Arthur Grimes or former central bank deputy Murray Sherwin could be strong contenders to replace
governor Alan Bollard, who will step down later this year, former governor Don Brash says.
But there is likely to be a strong field to take on the $600,000-a-year job that Bollard, 60, is leaving after 10 years.

Inflation Is A Hidden Tax And Our Governments Are Taxing The Living Daylights Out Of
Us
Resource Article | From TheEconomicCollapseBlog
Ronald Reagan once famously declared that inflation is a tax , but sadly most Americans did not really grasp what he was
talking about. If the American people truly understood what inflation was doing to them, they would be screaming bloody
murder about monetary policy. Inflation is an especially insidious tax because it is not just a tax on your income for one
year. It is a continual tax on every single dollar that you own. As your money sits in the bank, it is constantly losing
value. Over time, the effects of inflation can be absolutely devastating. For example, if you put 100 dollars in the bank in
1970, those same dollars today would only have about 17 percent of the purchasing power that they did back then. In
essence, you were hit by an 83 percent "inflation tax" and all you did was leave your money in the bank. So who is
responsible for this? Well, the Federal Reserve controls monetary policy in the United States, and the inflationary monetary
policy that the Fed has gotten all of us accustomed to is taxing the living daylights out of us. This is madness, and it needs to
stop.
In previous articles I have discussed how the Federal Reserve creates money. If you have not read those articles yet, you
can find a few of them here , here and here .
The Federal Reserve system is designed to have the U.S. money supply expand indefinitely.
And that is exactly what has happened since 1913.
But when the money supply expands, there are very serious consequences.
Every time more money comes into existence, the dollars that you and I are already holding become less valuable because
now there are more dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services.
Right now, the U.S. government says that the annual rate of inflation is somewhere around 2 percent. Those of you that have
to buy food and gas on a regular basis realize how much of a joke that is.
Thankfully, there are others out there that keep track of these statistics as well. According to John Williams of
shadowstats.com , if inflation was measured the same way that it was back in 1980, the annual rate of inflation would be more
than 10 percent right now.
But let's use the doctored government numbers for a moment. Using the doctored numbers, what inflation has done to all of
us is still absolutely horrific. Just check out the chart below. This is what the Federal Reserve was designed to do. It was
designed to constantly expand the money supply and create inflation that never ends....

Banker Left Speechless by Irish Journalist

February 28 2012 | From: TheSolariReport
Irish journalist Vincent Browne confronts the ECB's (European Central Bank) Klaus Masuch demanding to know where the
money is going.
This is a case in point and it is frightening how many New Zealanders look upon these foreign events as if they are just that.
These exact same banking crises are planned for execution right here in New Zealand.
If you have 'money' in one of the big New Zealand Banks it is at risk because they are owned by Australian conglomerates
which are in turn owned by US and European based 'house of cards' banks which are subject to nefarious collapse plans.
In line with the globalist agenda, this is a local issue as much as it is for our fellow humans in whatever country.
Two Former New Zealand Justice Ministers Convicted in Lombard Finance Case
February 24 2012 | From NoRightTurn
Former Ministers Doug Graham and Bill Jeffries, and two other board members of Lombard Finance, have been convicted of
deceiving their investors. They face up to five years imprisonment, or a fine of up to $300,000. Good riddance. We don't get
many victories against corporate malfeasance in New Zealand, so its something to be celebrated.
Also to be celebrated: neither of these two will be leaching free travel off the taxpayer any more. As a five-term MP, he was
entitled (as a consequence of MP's self-interested feather-bedding) to a 90% rebate on private domestic and international
travel. Jeffries was entitled to 60%. But thanks to amendments passed to the Speaker's Directions [PDF] two years ago, those
entitlements are automatically stripped on conviction for serious crime. Its one way of cleaning up the tail of undeserving
former Parliamentary parasites, I suppose.
As for the question of Graham's knighthood, of course it should be stripped - not for criminality, but simply as a matter of
course. Feudal titles have no place in modern, democratic New Zealand, and they should all be revoked.

Goldman Sachs Steals Even More of Europe

February 24 2012 | From: AotearoaAWiderPerspective
If you or I would tell the bank which holds our mortgage we would only pay 90 cents on the dollar I think we would be out of
our house pretty darn quick and it would most definitely be because we defaulted on our loan. So what happened in Greece?
For a good explanation read this epistle.
But that is only part of the story and here is what happened too and why this means Goldman Sachs stole Europe!
Until Monday investors whether they be countries, banks, hedge funds or private investors who bought bonds issued by
countries knew what the rules were and the risks they were taking but the ECB has changed this overnight. They did so by
swapping the old Greek debt for new Greek debt in which a clause has changed excluding the European Central bank from
the collective action clause.

Joan Veon on the Engineered Financial Collapse
February 6 2012 | From AotearoaAWiderPerspective
As I am watching this fascinating presentation I have to urge you to watch this in its entirety. The structural changes chapter is
horrifying in the scope in which it transfers the powers of congress to the bankers and the chapter on derivatives (the source
of John Key's wealth) is just beyond comprehension in it's epic scale of deceit. Send this link to all your buddies who still think
the sun shines out of John Key's arse. And then give them the link to my open letter to Eugene Bingham .
Iain Parker , one of the most knowledgeable researchers on international finance and the banking system currently collapsing
our entire global economy by design pointed me to Joan Veon an amazingly knowledgeable woman presenting the history
and current financial situation before she passed away because of cancer.
Here is her enlightening presentation. Especially the tax law changes under Reagan are stunning.
Simplified Analyogy the International Banking Crisis:
The Laws of Economics for the Drinker and Banks
January 21st 2012 | From Reszatonline
Its time again to benefit from my very good friend and occasional co-author Tim Coldwell as a source of ideas and
connections. He discovered the following little text for us which allows us to enhance our understanding of economic relations
and policy processes, and of the rationale behind current financial regulation.
Here is a dummies guide to what went wrong in Europe:
Helga is the proprietor of a bar.
She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronise her
bar.
To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.
Helga keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans).
Word gets around about Helgas drink now, pay later marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers
flood into Helgas bar.
Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in town.
By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Helga gets no resistance when, at regular intervals,
she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Helgas gross sales
volume increases massively.
A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets
and increases Helgas borrowing limit.
He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral!
At the banks corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer
loans into DRINKBONDS. These securities then are bundled and traded on international securities markets.
Naive investors dont really understand that the securities being sold to them as AA Secured Bonds really are debts of
unemployed alcoholics.
Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the
nations leading brokerage houses.
One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has
come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Helgas bar.
He so informs Helga.
Helga then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their
drinking debts.
Since Helga cannot fulfil her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy.
The bar closes and Helgas 11 employees lose their jobs.
Overnight, DRINKBOND prices drop by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it
from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.
The suppliers of Helgas bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms pension funds in the
BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed
value of the bonds.
Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her
beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers.
Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion
dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the government.
The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers who have never
been in Helgas bar.
Now do you understand?
The Global Elite Are Hiding 18 Trillion Dollars In Offshore Banks

January 21st 2012 | From PrisonPlanet.com
In recent days, the fact that Mitt Romney has millions of dollars parked down in the Cayman Islands has made headlines all
over the world. But when it comes to offshore banking, what Mitt Romney is doing is small potatoes.
The truth is that the global elite are hiding an almost unbelievable amount of money in offshore banks. According to shocking
research done by the IMF, the global elite are holding a total of18 trillion dollars in offshore banks. And that figure does not
even count any money being held in Switzerland. That is a staggering amount of money.
Keep in mind that U.S. GDP in 2010 was only 14.58 trillion dollars. So why do the global elite go to such trouble to hide their
money in offshore banks?
Well, there are two main reasons. One is privacy and the other is low taxation. Privacy is a big issue for those that are
involved in illegal enterprises such as drug running, but the biggest reason why people move money into offshore banks is in
order to avoid taxes.
Some set up bank accounts in foreign nations because they want to legally minimize their taxes and others set up bank
accounts in foreign nations because they want to illegally avoid taxes.
You would be absolutely amazed at what some large corporations and wealthy individuals do to get out of paying taxes.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the rest of us dont have the resources or the knowledge to play these games, so we get
taxed into oblivion.

The Large Families that Rule the World

October 18 | 2011 | From: Pravda
Some people have started realizing that there are large financial groups that dominate the world. Forget the political intrigues,
conflicts, revolutions and wars. It is not pure chance. Everything has been planned for a long time.
Some call it "conspiracy theories" or New World Order. Anyway, the key to understanding the current political and economic
events is a restricted core of families who have accumulated more wealth and power.
We are speaking of 6, 8 or maybe 12 families who truly dominate the world. Know that it is a mystery difficult to unravel.
We will not be far from the truth by citing Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Loebs Kuh and Lehmans in New York, the
Rothschilds of Paris and London, the Warburgs of Hamburg, Paris and Lazards Israel Moses Seifs Rome.
Many people have heard of the Bilderberg Group, Illuminati or the Trilateral Commission. But what are the names of the
families who run the world and have control of states and international organizations like the UN, NATO or the IMF?
To try to answer this question, we can start with the easiest: inventory, the world's largest banks, and see who the
shareholders are and who make the decisions.
The world's largest companies are now: Bank of America, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan
Stanley.
Let us now review who their shareholders are.
Bank of America:
State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group, BlackRock, FMR (Fidelity), Paulson, JP Morgan, T. Rowe, Capital World
Investors, AXA, Bank of NY, Mellon.
JP Morgan:
State Street Corp., Vanguard Group, FMR, BlackRock, T. Rowe, AXA, Capital World Investor, Capital Research Global
Investor, Northern Trust Corp. and Bank of Mellon.
Citigroup:
State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group, BlackRock, Paulson, FMR, Capital World Investor, JP Morgan, Northern Trust
Corporation, Fairhome Capital Mgmt and Bank of NY Mellon.
Wells Fargo:
Berkshire Hathaway, FMR, State Street, Vanguard Group, Capital World Investors, BlackRock, Wellington Mgmt, AXA, T.
Rowe and Davis Selected Advisers.
We can see that now there appears to be a nucleus present in all banks: State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group,
BlackRock and FMR (Fidelity). To avoid repeating them, we will now call them the "big four":
Goldman Sachs:
"The big four," Wellington, Capital World Investors, AXA, Massachusetts Financial Service and T. Rowe.
Morgan Stanley:
"The big four," Mitsubishi UFJ, Franklin Resources, AXA, T. Rowe, Bank of NY Mellon e Jennison Associates. Rowe, Bank of
NY Mellon and Jennison Associates.
We can just about always verify the names of major shareholders. To go further, we can now try to find out the shareholders
of these companies and shareholders of major banks worldwide.
Bank of NY Mellon:
Davis Selected, Massachusetts Financial Services, Capital Research Global Investor, Dodge, Cox, Southeatern Asset Mgmt.
and ... "The big four."
State Street Corporation (one of the "big four"):

Massachusetts Financial Services, Capital Research Global Investor, Barrow Hanley, GE, Putnam Investment and ... The "big
four" (shareholders themselves!).
BlackRock (another of the "big four"):

PNC, Barclays e CIC.
Who is behind the PNC? FMR (Fidelity), BlackRock, State Street, etc.
And behind Barclays? BlackRock
And we could go on for hours, passing by tax havens in the Cayman Islands, Monaco or the legal domicile of Shell companies
in Liechtenstein. A network where companies are always the same, but never a name of a family.
In short: the eight largest U.S. financial companies (JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs,
U.S. Bancorp, Bank of New York Mellon and Morgan Stanley) are 100% controlled by ten shareholders and we have four
companies always present in all decisions: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and Fidelity.
In addition, the Federal Reserve is comprised of 12 banks, represented by a board of seven people, which comprises
representatives of the "big four," which in turn are present in all other entities.
In short, the Federal Reserve is controlled by four large private companies: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and
Fidelity. These companies control U.S. monetary policy (and world) without any control or "democratic" choice. These
companies launched and participated in the current worldwide economic crisis and managed to become even more enriched.
To finish, a look at some of the companies controlled by this "big four" group:
Alcoa Inc.
Altria Group Inc.
American International Group Inc.
AT&T Inc.
Boeing Co.
Caterpillar Inc.
Coca-Cola Co.
DuPont & Co.
Exxon Mobil Corp.
General Electric Co.
General Motors Corporation
Hewlett-Packard Co.
Home Depot Inc.
Honeywell International Inc.
Intel Corp.
International Business Machines Corp
Johnson & Johnson
JP Morgan Chase & Co.
McDonald's Corp.
Merck & Co. Inc.
Microsoft Corp.
3M Co.
Pfizer Inc.
Procter & Gamble Co.
United Technologies Corp.

Verizon Communications Inc.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Time Warner
Walt Disney
Viacom
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.,
CBS Corporation
NBC Universal
The same "big four" control the vast majority of European companies counted on the stock exchange.
In addition, all these people run the large financial institutions, such as the IMF, the European Central Bank or the World
Bank, and were "trained" and remain "employees" of the "big four" that formed them.
The names of the families that control the "big four", never appear.

Yuki Fujita Japanese MP
In March 2008 I was in Sydney. I had flown there to meet with some of the high profile 9/11 truth activists. I met with Bob
Bowman the ex US military who ran the Space war program for Reagan until he woke up to the fact that there was nothing
defensive about the program. I met with Yuki Fujita San the Japanese MP who broke into the MSM with his presentation
about the inconsistencies of the official 9/11 CT to name a few but the most important meeting in hind side was the meeting I
had with gentleman called G Edward Griffin. I had never met him before and never even heard of him and a participant of the
9/11 truth conference of 2008 in Sydney had flown him in at his own expense to give the presentation he is famous for.
After I heard his presentation I had the chance to speak to G Edward Griffin and I used the time I had to ask him some
questions and here are two poignant moments of the conversation I will never ever forget as long as I live.
I told him that we had an Ex Wall street banker running for Prime Minister which worried me greatly and he said I would be
too. I asked what he thought would happen if he was elected and he answered, He will sell your country down the drain and
throw in his mother with the deal!
I then told him he had served on the upon invitation only Foreign Exchange Committee (which his boss served on the period
before John Key with none other than Robert Rubin the big Goldman Sachs Cahoona and responsible for the repeal of
the Glass Steagall act ) and could he have been groomed to do just that and he answered with a smile, It has happened
before.
So without further ado let me introduce you to G Edward Griffin and may I suggest to you you show this presentation to your
loved ones, colleagues and most especially to your John Key voting friends!
Money As Debt-Full Length Documentary
Money As Debt is a fast-paced and highly entertaining animated feature by artist & videographer, Paul Grignon. It explains
today's magically perverse DEBT-MONEY SYSTEM in terms that are easy to understand.
Check out his website: http://www.moneyasdebt.net/
Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal, there is no human
relation between master and slave.
Debt- government, corporate and household has reached astronomical proportions. Where does all this money come from?
How could there BE that much money to lend? The answer is...there isn't. Today, MONEY IS DEBT.
If there were NO DEBT there would be NO MONEY.
If this is puzzling to you, you are not alone. Very few people understand, even though all of us are affected.
