Eurozone financial system heading for collapse due to ECB actions, says German economist

From Case about Bird Flu 

By Jane Burgermeister

Economist Hans-Werner Sinn has warned that the euro system of central banks is facing collapse because the ECB, acting as a lender of last resort, has directed such a huge proportion of the total eurozone money creation flow – 68% — towards banks in the struggling economies of Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain (GIPS) in return for collateral which is significantly overvalued.

These banks in turn often only have the bonds of insolvent country’s as capital, are insolvent and cannot afford to repay loans to German and French banks.

Only 32% — or 180 billion euros — of the financial flows related to eurozone money creation are directed to the other eurozone countries even though these represent 82% of the economic output, Sinn has said.

“The danger goes far beyond the danger to individual countries,” Sinn said.

The German Bundesbank is the main creditor inside the eurozone bank system but it is highly unlikely it will ever see much of the money it has lent again in the name of tax payers.

In breach of ECB rules, Greek, Irish and Portuguese and Spanish banks have been receiving hundreds of billions of euros of special financing from the ECB under the pretext that they are just illiquid — emergency liquidity assistance operations – when these banks are largely insolvent like their governments and highly likely cannot repay the loans made to them by German, French and other commercial banks.

Much of the collateral they have offered in return for loans at benchmark interests is extremely overvalued, research by Der Spiegel revealed.

These banks have, in turn, lent the money to insolvent governments at penal 6% interest rates imposed on countries by the EU and IMF. The banks are using their profits, it seems, to repay debts owned to German and French banks in a huge scam.

In the event of a default or credit event by Greece, Ireland or Portugal, the ECB will have to write down the losses and face the ire of tax payers – one reason the ECB is opposing a default.

The tax payers of the eurozone are set to stump up for the losses amounting to hundreds of billions of euros incurred by the euro system of central banks when th insolvent commercial banks attached to insolvent governments eventually fail.

Even the UK will have to stump up for the inevitable losses to insolvent under the so called emergency liquidity assistance operations in proportion to its central bank share capital even though the UK is not even in the eurozone.

The ECB and eurozone governments seem to be trying to draw out the moment of collapse as long as possible but a collapse is inherent in the Ponzi scheme structure that is emerging.

 “By shifting so much of the eurozone’s money creation towards indirect finance of deficit countries, the system has had to withdraw credit from commercial banks in creditor countries. Within two years, he states, the latter will have negative credit positions with their national central banks – in other words, be owed money by them. For this reason, these operations will then have to cease,” explains Martin Wolf in the FT.

Or else  the ECB will have to print money to cover the external deficits of the GIPS countries, creating inflation.

Eurozone coins and notes in circulation account for just 9 per cent of broad money (M3) supply. Almost all of the money in a contemporary economy consists of the liabilities of financial institutions inside the eurozone central bank system.

From Twelfth Bough:

In comments at the last post, we have been discussing the possible mechanism for how this e coli illness works. Just theorizing.

As we know the e coli strain is resistant to eight classes of antibiotics, which cannot happen in nature.

A13 writes in her last post:

We know that this type of RARE bacteria is   resistant to all the following classes and combinations of antibiotics:


• penicillins
• tetracycline
• nalidixic acid
• trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol
• cephalosporins
• amoxicillin / clavulanic acid
• piperacillin-sulbactam
• piperacillin-tazobactam


And it is a CHIMERA, a DNA/ Genetic mutation.


We also know that the source of this bacteria has not been found.


Some of us have been speculating that this could be a BIOWEAPON? or Maybe a TEST of One?

Life Technologies was able to very quickly develop a custom test for this exact strain, in record time.

Some facts about Life Technology from their press release:

• a global biotech company
• in approximately 160 countries
• with one of the largest intellectual property estates in the industry
• including approximately 3900 patents and exclusive licenses
• supporting work across the biological spectrum
• on "translational research, molecular medicine, stem cell-based therapies, food safety and animal health, and 21st century forensics"

Very high tech. This company manufacturers the Ion Torrent Sequencer technology which uses semiconductors to directly translate DNA information to data, which is what sequencing means. Then Life Technologies within days developed a custom assay test for the novel e coli strain, to be used to screen suspect food.

Life Technologies' Simone Guenther, Ph.D., who carried out the sequencing work, said: "The severity of this outbreak meant that speed was of the essence. We were able to provide the data in record time to University Hospital Muenster. In previous outbreaks it would have taken much longer to reach this stage." To prevent further spreading of the bacterium, Life Technologies began shipping its custom E. coli testing kits to European laboratories this week to screen contaminated food thought to be at the center of the outbreak that has killed 17 people and affected more than 1,000 in Europe. 

Still they could not find the source of the e coli.

Then we learned, thanks to A13's research, that another company which makes ONE drug, the most expensive drug in the world, is giving it away for FREE to the health authorities in Germany. And this company, Alexion, has been popular with investors because it can make "an unlimited amount of antibodies." Which, as A13 explains, means they are cloning:

Eculizumab (SOLIRIS) is one of these TYPES OF ANTIBODIES

...Ever since the discovery that monoclonal antibodies could be generated in-vitro, scientists have targeted the creation of 'fully' human antibodies to avoid some of the side effects of humanised and chimeric antibodies." 

Watch CEO of Alexion, Leonard Bell, M.D., as he talks about the company's prospects back in 2008.

Innovation, you betcha.

So this disease that Alexion started with, Paroxysmal Noctural Hemoglobinuria, means that red blood cells are destroyed and turn the person's urine red or dark colored. A form of anemia. People who develop this disease have blood cells missing a gene called PIG-A.  

Without PIG-A, important proteins cannot connect to the cell surface and protect the cell from destructive substances in the blood. As a result, blood cells break down too early. The cells leak hemoglobin into the blood, which can pass into the urine. 

An ACQUIRED disease. No one knows how it happens, what the risk factors are, or how to prevent it. Just a total mystery how some people start making blood cells missing a gene...?

PNH is the only hemolytic anemia caused by an acquired (rather than inherited) intrinsic defect in the cell membrane (deficiency of glycophosphatidylinositol leading to absence of protective proteins on the membrane).

Chemtrails in the old days?

We sure don't know either. All these medical mysteries.

It reminds us of the GAP we've talked about before. The gap about how amazing some technologies are, and then when something goes wrong, they offer up the Junk Shot, the Spraying Water With a Firehose on the Nuclear Meldtown, whatever bullshit Duct Tape and Cardboard FIX they can scam onto some graphics for the teevee talking moron to explain to the people, so they can wait on tenterhooks for it to fail to resolve the very serious problem created by the amazing technology that was regrettably struck by Terrorists, or Human Error, or that Bitch Mother Nature, or of course, the Acts of an Angry God, etc., while said loser solutions allow the very serious problem to fester for months on end, polluting the earth and every living thing on it? WIN WIN WIN.

But it was very LUCKY that Alexion selected this ultra-rare disease, that nobody seems to know how it happens, because product sales have grown 40%, they've doubled the employee footprint, and this company has presented at the following healthcare conferences:

• the Goldman Sachs 32nd Annual Healthcare Conference on 6/7/11
• the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch 2011 Health Care Conference on 5/12/11
• the Deutschs Bank Securities 36th Annual Health Care Conference on  5/3/11
• the Citi 2011 Global Health Care Conference on 3/1/11
• the 29th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on 1/12/11

... and many more! source: http://www.alxn.com/News/Default.aspx

Who knew the banks cared so much to be having annual healthcare conferences for over three decades?

^^^^^^^

But let us return to the sprouts, and the MECHANISM of this disease, which remains a mystery.

We covered the other day that sprouts are grown in steel drums, without soil and without fertilizer, and that the testing revealed NO CONTAMINATION at the accused farm.

So it really doesn't seem POSSIBLE for sprouts to be the source, unless the sprout seeds themselves were implanted with the bacteria, suggesting that the chain of evidence go one more step, to whoever supplied the sprout seeds and got the bacteria inside the very seeds.

And then the sprouts were cleared by the officials.

But TODAY we learn that it IS the sprouts, after all, even though the sprouts are not contaminated with the e coli. The people who ATE the sprouts got sick.

NO ONE EXPLAINS HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN. There's just a lot of regrettable CONFUSION.

BERLIN — After days of confusion, German authorities finally concluded on Friday that an E. coli infection, which has claimed at least 29 lives, unsettled the nation and thrown European agriculture into disarray, had been caused by contaminated bean sprouts and not, as first was feared, by other produce.

...But tests carried out on bean sprout samples produced only negative results. At the news conference on Friday, Mr. Burger said investigations centering on interviews with patients and even the chefs at restaurants where they had eaten showed that people who had consumed bean sprouts were nine times more likely to become infected than those who had not.  
     No harmful bacteria had been found in any samples, he said. But from the pattern of the outbreak, “it was possible to narrow down epidemiologically the cause of the outbreak of the illness to the consumption of sprouts.”   

OK, we understand what that says, we just don't see any EXPLANATION of how that can happen. So either, 1) it's total bullshit; or 2) our brilliant scientists are neglecting to tell us something. Because otherwise, how can eating uncontaminated sprouts cause a deadly e coli illness?



"The outbreak’s cause may never be found, Health Minister Daniel Bahr said." Wink wink wink....

Something is missing.

EATING UNCONTAMINATED SPROUTS + 

UNIDENTIFIED MYSTERY PROCESS ==> 

DEADLY INFECTION

So, we don't know what this mystery process could be, other than total fucking bullshit, but we see that this is a "wake up call" to Congress.

While U.S. health officials are assuring the American public that this rare strain of E. coli is unlikely to migrate here, they call it a "bellwether." "Pathogens evolve," said Elizabeth Hagen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's undersecretary for food safety....Last Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its 2010 results for food-borne illnesses. They showed that, for the first time, a group of rare E. coli strains, related to, but not as potent as, the German strain, are causing more illnesses in this country than the more common strains, known as 0157s. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which regulates meat products, has formulated new rules for dealing with the non-0157 strains, but they have not yet been made public. Which could pose more funding problems, since the meat industry, strongly opposed to another ban, has many friends in Congress.

That's very convenient.


Or is something else going on? We really don't know. There has to be some explanation, and we doubt we will ever be told what it is, but seems to me this blaming the sprouts is total bullshit. There seems to be a LACK OF EVIDENCE for this claim. Because last we checked, eating NON CONTAMINATED FOOD is not supposed to make you deathly ill. Alternatively, we would have to ask if the sprouts were genetically engineered to have the e coli strain inside, ready to blossom under certain conditions, perhaps conditions common to women, hormones, something like that? And who, pray tell, would have the wherewithal to do that? Al qaeda terrorists in their bio caves? Or brilliant scientists working in prestigious laboratories with the full support of bankers?

The bottom line is these people got very sick, and some of them died, and so far there has been NO VALID EXPLANATION for where this disease came from. And in a world of total information awareness, we find that Not Credible.

Speaking of missing evidence, we think everyone should take a look at the work of Dr. Stefan Lanka, who asks, Where are the isolated viruses?

And in this interview here, 1998, he talks about blood, and life, and energy, and the dogmatic thinking he rejected when studying molecular biology. This is an amazing read.

This excess energy is the basis of all higher life, and if you violate it -- if you don't let the oxygen come into the organism; if the blood is oxidized by poppers [nitrites] or sulfinamides [including sulfa drugs like Bactrim and Septra]; or if the transit way between the blood and the cells is poisoned by heavy metals, or the lack of essential fatty acids; or when the mitochondria are destroyed in the cells, due to the lack of nutrition, or antibiotics -- the oxygen cannot be transported from the blood to the cells. Then the cell is not able to produce enough energy. It either may die, resulting in inflammation; or when it's possible for a cell to survive, it will become cancerous. When the cell is producing only fermentation, then that's cancer, as Otto Warburg already detected in the 1940's.

They knew from the very beginning that cancer cells have only embryonic markers on their surface. From a biological, evolutionary point of view it makes sense that a cancer cell is a reduction to an embryonic stage. It de-differentiates due to the lack of energy, and it waits until the lack of energy is over in order to differentiate again. Of course, if the lack of energy persists, it loses genetic material; and these were the old criteria to define cancer, when cells lost a lot of genetic material, because then they lost the ability to differentiate again.

Zenger's: In other words, cancer occurs when the cell is programmed to behave like a cell very early in fetal development and just divide like crazy....

Beginning in 1977, starting in the United States, it was possible to patent biological entities or biological techniques, so people started to make money out of biological ideas....This is the definite turning point when modern medicine and modern biology lost their 'Unschuld', their innocence.

That's funny, because that must have been right around the time when big banks started having annual healthcare conferences.

A Great Racket (If You're On The Inside)

From the Daily Reckoning Australia  10 June 2011
By Dan Denning


WHAT IS "The Money Power"?

My description below may not sound sinister. And it probably isn't, at least in the sense that the ultimate aim of wealth and power through ill-gotten advantage is more or less the same goal of organized crime. It's as old as humanity, really.
"The Money Power" is the disparate group of financiers and bankers who profit the most from accumulating assets when they're cheap and selling debt to the government and the public.
What makes the Money Power so destructive is that it achieves its aims through the control of the price of money. This allows it to engineer a cyclical wealth transfer from the public purse to the private purse and from the Middle Class to the Bankers.
Now normally we wouldn't use such incendiary and populist rhetoric. And to be clear we don't mean to suggest there's any kind of global conspiracy by a secret and shady group of elite trans-national criminals. That would be a good story, though.
No, what we mean is that there has always been profit in controlling the price of money. Think about it for a moment. Imagine you run a business where you can create the product you sell at no cost AND charge interest for its use. You turn your cost of capital into a rental income. That is a pretty clever trick.
The Money Power has accomplished this trick through the artificial setting of interest rates and fractional reserve banking. With fractional reserve banking, banks can expand credit far in excess of the accumulated savings on deposit in the banking system. Through manipulating interests, the banks can make the cost of this credit appear attractive to the public.
And indeed, for a while, the low cost of credit—or what is also referred to here as "access to mortgage finance"—induces people to borrow so they can buy assets (stocks and bonds and houses). A vast accumulation of private debt ensues, driving up asset prices and looking rather benign.
But then, when a crisis hits and asset values begin to fall—as they always do when they become too expensive relative to the income they generate or the value they deliver—the debts accumulated at low interest rates do not change in value. The Money Power can then buy up the assets at bargain basement prices, while tending to its debt slaves and collecting interests.
There is a further wrinkle, too. The government! US interests rates (at least short-term rates)—otherwise known as the price of money—are set by a private cartel of bankers (the Money Power). The Money Power is happy to encourage large government debts because it makes money by lending money to the government. Whether the government is borrowing money for foreign wars or domestic wars doesn't matter.
The Money Power benefits from the permanent expansion of the Welfare/Warfare State because it means the permanent expansion of government debt (debt that will never be paid off, only refinanced or defaulted on). The result is the same as in the private sector, only this time the State is forced to sell assets off to the Money Power at fire sale prices. This is what's happening in Greece now.
And of course, this is what's been happening in cycles for years. The advocates of debt-based money have simply sunk their tentacles into the financial life of the world more effectively now than at any other time in history. Private and public debt has exploded across the globe. Creditors earn interest on the loans they've made. But because of fractional reserve banking, they are able to create new product (money) out of thin air at no cost.
It's a great racket if you're on the inside. But if you're on the outside, this systematic transfer of wealth through manipulation of money and interest rates turns the economy into a boom-bust nightmare. It also impoverishes a lot of people, leaving them with no assets and a lot of debts.
This is why the Money Power both loves and hates gold. It loves gold and owns it because gold is money that is not anyone else's debt. It hates gold because it allows the common man to insulate himself against the manipulation of interest rates and inflation.
This cycle of inflating assets and increasing debts through fiat money and fractional reserve banking isn't necessarily by design. And you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe it. But you do have to be willing to entertain the idea that the entire edifice of the modern financial system is based on a monetary fraud.

Arguing Against The Violence Of The State Is Futile And Unnecessary

From LibertarianNews, June 9, 2011

By michaelsuede

The more I learn about history, the more I have come to realize that trying to explain why using violence and coercion to redistribute property always leads to worse economic outcomes is a futile exercise that I should not waste more time on.  People do not want to recognize the fact that the State is a violent looting system because they see themselves as being beneficiaries of the looting.
If people think they are getting more back from the looting than they have taken from them, they have a natural incentive to ignore the violence as being justifiable.  Some even go so far as to claim it is good and proper that the State uses coercive force to take property from the innocent.
Consider the perspectives of the following two people:
1.  The welfare collecting bum who sits around all day playing video games and smoking weed.
2.  The welfare collecting bum who is the CEO of a major defense corporation.
In the first case, the man obviously feels he is getting more from the State than he is paying in taxes.  He enjoys his sedentary lifestyle and doesn’t really feel any need to have more in life.  As long as he has a roof over his head, food in his belly, and a game to keep him occupied, he’s perfectly content to do nothing productive with his life.  His loyalty to the statist system is deep and profound.  He religously votes democrat to ensure the greatest amount of handouts keep flowing his way.  He has no concern for the economic health of the nation as a whole.
In the second case, this man too obviously feels he is getting more from the State than he is paying in taxes.  He would gladly fork over another 10% of his income in taxes if it meant that he could keep the defense contracts flowing his way.  His loyalty to the statist system is also deep and profound.  He religiously votes republican to ensure the greatest amount of handouts keep flowing his way.  He has no concern for the economic health or security of the nation as a whole.
In both cases, each man perceives benefits to keeping the statist system in place.  Neither the wealthy defense contractor nor the bum would ever consider eliminating the system that provides them with stolen booty.  People like those examples I just provided make up the bulk of our society today.  Each individual perceives some benefit that they feel the State is providing them from the booty.  Thus, since everyone has an incentive to ignore the violence, they do.
It follows that if the majority of people feel they have an economic incentive to keep the system of looting in place, removing the cancer of the State by trying to convince enough people to change it is an impossible and futile task.  The State provides profits without risk, safety from the evil horrors of competition, and security from other mafia syndicates who might try to take their stolen tax booty for their own cronies.
The State will eventually destroy itself.  I am fairly confident that the American empire will collapse in the same way the Soviet Union collapsed.  The State always grows like a cancer until it destroys its host.   The great question that had remained unanswered to me was how to prevent it from coming back.  I have obviously spent a great deal of time writing articles, arguing on internet forums, writing politicians, making propaganda videos, etc.. etc.. etc..  and I see little to no effect on anything.  People will act to loot each other as long as they think they will economically benefit from the looting, even if the destruction of the monetary unit results from their actions.
Then I found Bitcoin.
The realization that the end of the State would come about through technological markets has just struck me recently.  Here we have a currency system that can not be manipulated and can not be stopped.  As the State ultimately and inevitably destroys its own currency, the masses will seek a sound currency to replace it with.  Many will clamor for metals, but metals standards always lead to the same system of enslavement we have today.  It is as ridiculous to think the State can be restrained by a metals standard as it is to think the State can be restrained by a constitution.  As soon as digital numbers are used to represent gold in transactions, they instantly become suseptiable to fractional reserve banking and arbitrary inflation.
The only way to eliminate the State is to create a currency system that has no possible way for a State to assume control over it.  - and that currency is Bitcoin.
Nothing more needs to be done other than promoting the Bitcoin currency.  The currency sells itself.  Anyone who wants to protect their wealth can immediately see the benefits of Bitcoin.  Anyone who wants to transact without a money trail (all black markets) can immediately see the benefits of Bitcoin.  Anyone who wants to conduct international settlements without banking fees or State regulations can immediately see the benefits of Bitcoin.  There are simply too many people who stand to benefit from using the currency to stop it.  When this fact is coupled with the fact that States always destroy their currencies, Bitcoin (or another currency like it) will insidiously push the other junk currencies out of existence.  When Thiers’ Law takes root, the violent looting will come to an end.
The ease of transactions, scarcity, fungibility, divisibility, and recognizably of Bitcoins is superior to gold or silver.  They are more easily hidden, harder to coercively take, and easier to transport.  The markets will chose Bitcoins over metals.  There is no question that Bitcoins are superior to metals as a monetary unit.  The markets will chose them.
When a State loses the ability to tax and inflate, it will collapse.  The only transactions that can take place with Bitcoins are voluntary ones.  The cryptographic security of the coins is so strong that no one can loot them.  The networked nature of the coins makes it so that no one can stop them from being traded.  The international nature of the network prevents any one nation from regulating and controlling them.
Any attempt by a State to ban them or regulate them will simply further legitimize them as a real currency that poses a real threat to the statist quo.  Stopping Bitcoins in a first world nation would require shutting down the web; an impossible task that not even a totalitarian State could accomplish.  The futility of trying to stop them will become apparent to all once the State does try to stop them (which it will).
The end of the State has arrived, its name is Bitcoin.

The Federal Reserve Cartel: Freemasons and The House of Rothschild

From Global Research June 8, 2011
by Dean Henderson 

Part two of a four-part series

In 1789 Alexander Hamilton became the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.  Hamilton was one of many Founding Fathers who were Freemasons.  He had close relations with the Rothschild family which owns the Bank of England and leads the European Freemason movement.  George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Ethan Allen, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, John Brown and Roger Sherman were all Masons.
Roger Livingston helped Sherman and Franklin write the Declaration of Independence.  He gave George Washington his oaths of office while he was Grand Master of the New York Grand Lodge of Freemasons.  Washington himself was Grand Master of the Virginia Lodge.  Of the General Officers in the Revolutionary Army, thirty-three were Masons.  This was highly symbolic since 33rd Degree Masons become Illuminated. [1]
Populist founding fathers led by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Thomas Paine- none of whom were Masons- wanted to completely severe ties with the British Crown, but were overruled by the Masonic faction led by Washington, Hamilton and Grand Master of the St. Andrews Lodge in Boston General Joseph Warren, who wanted to “defy Parliament but remain loyal to the Crown”.  St. Andrews Lodge was the hub of New World Masonry and began issuing Knights Templar Degrees in 1769. [2]
All US Masonic lodges are to this day warranted by the British Crown, whom they serve as a global intelligence and counterrevolutionary subversion network.  Their most recent initiative is the Masonic Child Identification Program (CHIP).  According to Wikipedia, the CHIP programs allow parents the opportunity to create a kit of identifying materials for their child, free of charge. The kit contains a fingerprint card, a physical description, a video, computer disk, or DVD of the child, a dental imprint, and a DNA sample.
The First Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in 1774 under the Presidency of Peyton Randolph, who succeeded Washington as Grand Master of the Virginia Lodge.  The Second Continental Congress convened in 1775 under the Presidency of Freemason John Hancock.  Peyton’s brother William succeeded him as Virginia Lodge Grand Master and became the leading proponent of centralization and federalism at the First Constitutional Convention in 1787.  The federalism at the heart of the US Constitution is identical to the federalism laid out in the Freemason’s Anderson’s Constitutions of 1723.  William Randolph became the nation’s first Attorney General and Secretary of State under George Washington.  His family returned to England loyal to the Crown.  John Marshall, the nation’s first Supreme Court Justice, was also a Mason. [3] 
When Benjamin Franklin journeyed to France to seek financial help for American revolutionaries, his meetings took place at Rothschild banks.  He brokered arms sales via German Mason Baron von Steuben.  His Committees of Correspondence operated through Freemason channels and paralleled a British spy network.  In 1776 Franklin became de facto Ambassador to France.  In 1779 he became Grand Master of the French Neuf Soeurs (Nine Sisters) Lodge, to which John Paul Jones and Voltaire belonged.  Franklin was also a member of the more secretive Royal Lodge of Commanders of the Temple West of Carcasonne, whose members included Frederick Prince of Whales.  While Franklin preached temperance in the US, he cavorted wildly with his Lodge brothers in Europe.  Franklin served as Postmaster General from the 1750’s to 1775 – a role traditionally relegated to British spies. [4]
With Rothschild financing Alexander Hamilton founded two New York banks, including Bank of New York. [5]  He died in a gun battle with Aaron Burr, who founded Bank of Manhattan with Kuhn Loeb financing.  Hamilton exemplified the contempt which the Eight Families hold towards common people, once stating, “All communities divide themselves into the few and the many.  The first are the rich and the well born, the others the mass of the people…The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge and determine right.  Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share of government.  They will check the unsteadiness of the second.”[6]
Hamilton was only the first in a series of Eight Families cronies to hold the key position of Treasury Secretary.  In recent times Kennedy Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon came from Dillon Read (now part of UBS Warburg).  Nixon Treasury Secretaries David Kennedy and William Simon came from Continental Illinois Bank (now part of Bank of America) and Salomon Brothers (now part of Citigroup), respectively.  Carter Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal came from Goldman Sachs, Reagan Treasury Secretary Donald Regan came from Merrill Lynch (now part of Bank of America), Bush Sr. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady came from Dillon Read (UBS Warburg) and both Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Bush Jr. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson came from Goldman Sachs.  Obama Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner worked at Kissinger Associates and the New York Fed.
Thomas Jefferson argued that the United States needed a publicly-owned central bank so that European monarchs and aristocrats could not use the printing of money to control the affairs of the new nation.  Jefferson extolled, “A country which expects to remain ignorant and free…expects that which has never been and that which will never be.  There is scarcely a King in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh – get first all the people’s money, then all their lands and then make them and their children servants forever…banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.  Already they have raised up a money aristocracy.”  Jefferson watched as the Euro-banking conspiracy to control the United States unfolded, weighing in, “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”. [7[
But the Rothschild-sponsored Hamilton’s arguments for a private US central bank carried the day.  In 1791 the Bank of the United States (BUS) was founded, with the Rothschilds as main owners.  The bank’s charter was to run out in 1811.  Public opinion ran in favor of revoking the charter and replacing it with a Jeffersonian public central bank.  The debate was postponed as the nation was plunged by the Euro-bankers into the War of 1812.  Amidst a climate of fear and economic hardship, Hamilton’s bank got its charter renewed in 1816.

Old Hickory, Honest Abe & Camelot

In 1828 Andrew Jackson took a run at the US Presidency.  Throughout his campaign he railed against the international bankers who controlled the BUS.  Jackson ranted, “You are a den of vipers.  I intend to expose you and by Eternal God I will rout you out.  If the people understood the rank injustices of our money and banking system there would be a revolution before morning.”
Jackson won the election and revoked the bank’s charter stating, “The Act seems to be predicated on an erroneous idea that the present shareholders have a prescriptive right to not only the favor, but the bounty of the government...for their benefit does this Act exclude the whole American people from competition in the purchase of this monopoly.  Present stockholders and those inheriting their rights as successors be established a privileged order, clothed both with great political power and enjoying immense pecuniary advantages from their connection with government.  Should its influence be concentrated under the operation of such an Act as this, in the hands of a self-elected directory whose interests are identified with those of the foreign stockholders, will there not be cause to tremble for the independence of our country in war...controlling our currency, receiving our public monies and holding thousands of our citizens independence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and military power of the enemy.  It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government for selfish purposes...to make the rich richer and more powerful.  Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer by acts of Congress.  I have done my duty to this country.”[8]
Populism prevailed and Jackson was re-elected.  In 1835 he was the target of an assassination attempt.  The gunman was Richard Lawrence, who confessed that he was, “in touch with the powers in Europe”. [9] 
Still, in 1836 Jackson refused to renew the BUS charter.  Under his watch the US national debt went to zero for the first and last time in our nation’s history.  This angered the international bankers, whose primary income is derived from interest payments on debt.  BUS President Nicholas Biddle cut off funding to the US government in 1842, plunging the US into a depression.  Biddle was an agent for the Paris-based Jacob Rothschild. [10]
The Mexican War was simultaneously sprung on Jackson.  A few years later the Civil War was unleashed, with London bankers backing the Union and French bankers backing the South. The Lehman family made a fortune smuggling arms to the south and cotton to the north.  By 1861 the US was $100 million in debt.  New President Abraham Lincoln snubbed the Euro-bankers again, issuing Lincoln Greenbacks to pay Union Army bills. 
The Rothschild-controlled Times of London wrote, “If that mischievous policy, which had its origins in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost.  It will pay off its debts and be without debt.  It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce.  It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world.  The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America.  That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.” [11]
The Euro-banker-written Hazard Circular was exposed and circulated throughout the country by angry populists.  It stated, “The great debt that capitalists will see is made out of the war and must be used to control the valve of money.  To accomplish this government bonds must be used as a banking basis.  We are now awaiting Secretary of Treasury Salmon Chase to make that recommendation.  It will not allow Greenbacks to circulate as money as we cannot control that.  We control bonds and through them banking issues”.
The 1863 National Banking Act reinstated a private US central bank and Chase’s war bonds were issued.  Lincoln was re-elected the next year, vowing to repeal the act after he took his January 1865 oaths of office.  Before he could act, he was assassinated at the Ford Theatre by John Wilkes Booth.  Booth had major connections to the international bankers.  His granddaughter wrote This One Mad Act, which details Booth’s contact with “mysterious Europeans” just before the Lincoln assassination.
Following the Lincoln hit, Booth was whisked away by members of a secret society known as Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC).  KGC had close ties to the French Society of Seasons, which produced Karl Marx.  KGC had fomented much of the tension that caused the Civil War and President Lincoln had specifically targeted the group.  Booth was a KGC member and was connected through Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin to the House of Rothschild.  Benjamin fled to England after the Civil War. [12]
Nearly a century after Lincoln was assassinated for issuing Greenbacks, President John F. Kennedy found himself in the Eight Families’ crosshairs.  Kennedy had announced a crackdown on off-shore tax havens and proposed increases in tax rates on large oil and mining companies.  He supported eliminating tax loopholes which benefit the super-rich.  His economic policies were publicly attacked by Fortune magazine, the Wall Street Journal and both David and Nelson Rockefeller.  Even Kennedy’s own Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, who came from the UBS Warburg-controlled Dillon Read investment bank, voiced opposition to the JFK proposals. [13]
Kennedy’s fate was sealed in June 1963 when he authorized the issuance of more than $4 billion in United States Notes by his Treasury Department in an attempt to circumvent the high interest rate usury of the private Federal Reserve international banker crowd.  The wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, who was conveniently gunned down by Jack Ruby before Ruby himself was shot, told author A. J. Weberman in 1994, “The answer to the Kennedy assassination is with the Federal Reserve Bank.  Don’t underestimate that.  It’s wrong to blame it on Angleton and the CIA per se only.  This is only one finger on the same hand.  The people who supply the money are above the CIA”. [14]
Fueled by incoming President Lyndon Johnson’s immediate escalation of the Vietnam War, the US sank further into debt.  Its citizens were terrorized into silence.  If they could kill the President they could kill anyone.

The House of Rothschild

The Dutch House of Orange founded the Bank of Amsterdam in 1609 as the world’s first central bank.  Prince William of Orange married into the English House of Windsor, taking King James II’s daughter Mary as his bride.  The Orange Order Brotherhood, which recently fomented Northern Ireland Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where he ruled both Holland and Britain.  In 1694 William III teamed up with the UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.
The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street- as the Bank of England is known- is surrounded by thirty foot walls.  Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. [15] 
The Rothschilds and their inbred Eight Families partners gradually came to control the Bank of England.  The daily London gold “fixing” occurred at the N. M. Rothschild Bank until 2004.  As Bank of England Deputy Governor George Blunden put it, “Fear is what makes the bank’s powers so acceptable.  The bank is able to exert its influence when people are dependent on us and fear losing their privileges or when they are frightened.”[16]
Mayer Amschel Rothschild sold the British government German Hessian mercenaries to fight against American Revolutionaries, diverting the proceeds to his brother Nathan in London, where N.M. (Nathan and Mayer) Rothschild & Sons was established.  Mayer was a serious student of Cabala and launched his fortune on money embezzled from William IX- royal administrator of the Hesse-Kassel region and a prominent Freemason.
Rothschild-controlled Barings bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades.  It financed the Louisiana Purchase.  When several states defaulted on its loans, Barings bribed Daniel Webster to make speeches stressing the virtues of loan repayment.  The states held their ground, so the House of Rothschild cut off the money spigot in 1842, plunging the US into a deep depression.  It was often said that the wealth of the Rothschilds depended on the bankruptcy of nations.  Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “I care not who controls a nation’s political affairs, so long as I control her currency”.
War didn’t hurt the family fortune either.  The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French.  Nathan Rothschild made a huge financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding the Duke of Wellington’s peninsular campaign againstNapoleon.  Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were goldmines for the family.
One Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an “International Banking Syndicate” decided to pit the American North against the South as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy.  German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War.  These bankers were afraid that the United States…would upset their financial domination over the world.  The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.”  Rothschild biographer Derek Wilson says the family was the official European banker to the US government and strong supporters of the Bank of the United States. [17] 
Family biographer Niall Ferguson notes a “substantial and unexplained gap” in private Rothschild correspondence between 1854-1860.  He says all copies of outgoing letters written by the London Rothschilds during this Civil War period “were destroyed at the orders of successive partners”. [18]
French and British troops had, at the height of the Civil War, encircled the US.  The British sent 11,000 troops to Crown-controlled Canada, which gave safe harbor to Confederate agents.  France’s Napoleon III installed Austrian Hapsburg family member Archduke Maximilian as his puppet emperor in Mexico, where French troops massed on the Texas border.  Only an 11th-hour deployment of two Russian warship fleets by US ally Czar Alexander II in 1863 saved the United States from re-colonization. [19] 
That same year the Chicago Tribune blasted, “Belmont (August Belmont was a US Rothschild agent and had a Triple Crown horse race named in his honor) and the Rothschilds…who have been buying up Confederate war bonds.”
Salmon Rothschild said of a deceased President Lincoln, “He rejects all forms of compromise.  He has the appearance of a peasant and can only tell barroom stories.”  Baron Jacob Rothschild was equally flattering towards the US citizenry.  He once commented to US Minister to Belgium Henry Sanford on the over half a million Americans who died during the Civil War, “When your patient is desperately sick, you try desperate measures, even to bloodletting.”  Salmon and Jacob were merely carrying forth a family tradition.  A few generations earlier Mayer Amschel Rothschild bragged of his investment strategy, “When the streets of Paris are running in blood, I buy”. [20]
Mayer Rothschild’s sons were known as the Frankfurt Five.  The eldest – Amschel – ran the family’s Frankfurt bank with his father, while Nathan ran London operations.  Youngest son Jacob set up shop in Paris, while Salomon ran the Vienna branch and Karl was off to Naples.  Author Frederick Morton estimates that by 1850 the Rothschilds were worth over $10 billion. [21]  Some researchers believe that their fortune today exceeds $100 trillion.
The Warburgs, Kuhn Loebs, Goldman Sachs, Schiffs and Rothschilds have intermarried into one big happy banking family.  The Warburg family- which controls Deutsche Bank and BNP- tied up with the Rothschilds in 1814 in Hamburg, while Kuhn Loeb powerhouse Jacob Schiff shared quarters with Rothschilds in 1785.  Schiff immigrated to America in 1865.  He joined forces with Abraham Kuhn and married Solomon Loeb’s daughter.  Loeb and Kuhn married each others sisters and the Kuhn Loeb dynasty was consummated.  Felix Warburg married Jacob Schiff’s daughter.  Two Goldman daughters married two sons of the Sachs family, creating Goldman Sachs.  In 1806 Nathan Rothschild married the oldest daughter of Levi Barent Cohen, a leading financier in London. [22]  Thus, Merrill Lynch super-bull Abby Joseph Cohen and Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen are likely descended from Rothschilds.
Today the Rothschild’s control a far-flung financial empire, which includes majority stakes in most world central banks.  The Edmond de Rothschild clan owns the Banque Privee SA in Lugano, Switzerland and the Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich.  The family of Jacob Lord Rothschild owns the powerful Rothschild Italia in Milan.  They are founding members of the exclusive $10 trillion Club of the Isles – which controls corporate giants Royal Dutch Shell, Imperial Chemical Industries, Lloyds of London, Unilever, Barclays, Lonrho, Rio Tinto Zinc, BHP Billiton and Anglo American DeBeers. It dominates the world supply of petroleum, gold, diamonds, and many other vital raw materials. [23]
The Club of the Isles provides capital for George Soros’ Quantum Fund NV – which made substantial financial gains in 1998-99 following the collapse of currencies of Thailand, Indonesia and Russia.  Soros was a major shareholder at George W. Bush’s Harken Energy.  The Club of Isles is led by the Rothschilds and includes Queen Elizabeth II and other wealthy European aristocrats and Nobility.[24]
Perhaps the largest repository for Rothschild wealth today is Rothschilds Continuation Holdings AG – a secretive Swiss-based bank holding company.  By the late 1990s scions of the Rothschild global empire were Barons Guy and Elie de Rothschild in France and Lord Jacob and Sir Evelyn Rothschild in Britain. [25] 
Evelyn was chairman of the Economist and a director at DeBeers and IBM UK. 
Jacob backed Arnold Schwarzenegger’s California gubernatorial campaign.  He took control of Khodorkovsky’s YUKOS oil shares just before the Russian government arrested him.  In 2010 Jacob joined Rupert Murdoch in a shale oil extraction partnership in Israel through Genie Energy – a subsidiary of IDT Corporation. [26] 
Within months, Sarah Palin had hired former IDT executive Michael Glassner as her chief of staff. [27]  Is Palin the Rothschild choice in 2012?

New NASA research points to possible HAARP connection in Japan earthquake, tsunami

From Natural News June 10, 2011

By Ethan Huff 

Recent data released by Dimitar Ouzounov and colleagues from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland highlights some strange atmospheric anomalies over Japan just days before the massive earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11. Seemingly inexplicable and rapid heating of the ionosphere directly above the epicenter reached a maximum only three days prior to the quake, according to satellite observations, suggesting that directed energy emitted from transmitters used in the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) may have been responsible for inducing the quake.
Published in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) publication Technology Review, the findings are presented alongside a different theory called Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling, which hypothesizes that the heating in the ionosphere may have been caused by the impending earthquake as the fault line released radioactive radon. This theory, of course, is not actually proven, but is instead presented as a possible explanation for the presence of the high-density electrons and emitted infrared radiation that was observed.
Another explanation for this strange heating — and one that, upon analysis, seems much more likely — is that it was an indication that concentrated energy was used to induce the earthquake, and not the other way around. Numerous credible reports and scientific observations reveal that HAARP technology is fully capable of being used as a scalar weapon, meaning it can emit strong electromagnetic pulse bombs that can alter weather or trigger seismic fault lines.

Evidence that HAARP is not only capable of inducing earthquakes, but that it appears to have been used on Japan

A casual glance at the graphics presented as part of Ouzounov’s research data shows near-perfect heat rings present above the epicenter of the quake. If radon emissions from the fault line were truly responsible for creating these heat zones, they would more than likely have had irregular, scattered appearances, rather than concentric circles. This anomaly by itself debunks the theory that the impending earthquake caused the heat patterns.
Also, readings from the HAARP Induction Magnetometer, which visualizes the frequency spectrum of signals detected in the earth’s geomagnetic field, show that a steady, ultra-low frequency (ULF) of roughly 2.5 Hz was being broadcast days before the earthquake. The 2.5 Hz ULF happens to be the exact same frequency as thenatural resonance produced by an earthquake – and since there were no constant earthquakes occurring on the days before the quake as the HAARP Induction Magnetometer appeared to indicate, the logical conclusion is that the signal was being broadcast to induce the quake (http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=1624).

Some would argue that HAARP is not capable of producing such frequencies, especially at the power levels that would be required to induce a massive earthquake like the 9.0+ that occurred in Japan. But testimony by various governments says otherwise.

On April 28, 1997, then US Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen gave an important keynote address at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and US Strategy at the University of Georgia in Athens. When asked a question about terrorism, Cohen had this to say as part of his response about the type of technology that existed, even back then:
“Others are engaging even in an eco-type terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves” (http://www.defense.gov/transcripts/…).

This admission counters the claims made by some that no such technology exists, and that it is impossible to create seismic activity using directed energy. Clearly the technology has been around for a while, and the notion of it being used as a weapon is anything but a baseless conspiracy theory.
Then, there is the EU report on the environment, security and foreign policy, that was released on January 14, 1999 (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides…). This report outlines various types of weapon threats, including a section entitled, “HAARP – a weapons system which disrupts the climate.”
The paper explains that HAARP is “run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy,” and that one of its purposes is “to heat up portions of ionosphere with powerful radio beams.” It also states the following important details:
“HAARP can be used for many purposes. Enormous quantities of energy can be controlled by manipulating the electrical characteristics of the atmosphere. If used as a military weapon this can have a devastating impact on an enemy. HAARP can deliver millions of times more energy to a given area than any other conventional transmitter. The energy can also be aimed at a moving target which should constitute a potential anti-missile system.”
Later references to HAARP describe it as “a matter of global concern,” emphasizing that most people have no idea it even exists. This was written, of course, more than a decade ago – and yet not much has changed since that time, despite several pushes to make HAARP more transparent. But if HAARP is truly responsible for helping to induce some of the seemingly natural disasters that occur in the world, it is no surprise that the program continues to be kept largely under wraps.

US universities join in Africa ‘land grab’

Institutions including Harvard and Vanderbilt reportedly use hedge funds to buy land in deals that may force farmers out

John Vidal and Claire Provost | The Guardian | June 8, 2011

Harvard and other major American universities are working through British hedge funds and European financial speculators to buy or lease vast areas of African farmland in deals, some of which may force many thousands of people off their land, according to a new study.

Researchers say foreign investors are profiting from “land grabs” that often fail to deliver the promised benefits of jobs and economic development, and can lead to environmental and social problems in the poorest countries in the world.

The new report on land acquisitions in seven African countries suggests that Harvard, Vanderbilt and many other US colleges with large endowment funds have invested heavily in African land in the past few years. Much of the money is said to be channelled through London-based Emergent asset management, which runs one of Africa’s largest land acquisition funds, run by former JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs currency dealers.

Researchers at the California-based Oakland Institute think that Emergent’s clients in the US may have invested up to $500m in some of the most fertile land in the expectation of making 25% returns.

Emergent said the deals were handled responsibly. “Yes, university endowment funds and pension funds are long-term investors,” a spokesman said. “We are investing in African agriculture and setting up businesses and employing people. We are doing it in a responsible way … The amounts are large. They can be hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not landgrabbing. We want to make the land more valuable. Being big makes an impact, economies of scale can be more productive.”

Chinese and Middle Eastern firms have previously been identified as “grabbing” large tracts of land in developing countries to grow cheap food for home populations, but western funds are behind many of the biggest deals, says the Oakland institute, an advocacy research group.

The company that manages Harvard’s investment funds declined to comment. “It is Harvard management company policy not to discuss investments or investment strategy and therefore I cannot confirm the report,” said a spokesman. Vanderbilt also declined to comment.

Oakland said investors overstated the benefits of the deals for the communities involved. “Companies have been able to create complex layers of companies and subsidiaries to avert the gaze of weak regulatory authorities. Analysis of the contracts reveal that many of the deals will provide few jobs and will force many thousands of people off the land,” said Anuradha Mittal, Oakland’s director.

In Tanzania, the memorandum of understanding between the local government and US-based farm development corporation AgriSol Energy, which is working with Iowa University, stipulates that the two main locations – Katumba and Mishamo – for their project are refugee settlements holding as many as 162,000 people that will have to be closed before the $700m project can start. The refugees have been farming this land for 40 years.

In Ethiopia, a process of “villagisation” by the government is moving tens of thousands of people from traditional lands into new centres while big land deals are being struck with international companies.

The largest land deal in South Sudan, where as much as 9% of the land is said by Norwegian analysts to have been bought in the last few years, was negotiated between a Texas-based firm, Nile Trading and Development and a local co-operative run by absent chiefs. The 49-year lease of 400,000 hectares of central Equatoria for around $25,000 (£15,000) allows the company to exploit all natural resources including oil and timber. The company, headed by former US Ambassador Howard Eugene Douglas, says it intends to apply for UN-backed carbon credits that could provide it with millions of pounds a year in revenues.

In Mozambique, where up to 7m hectares of land is potentially available for investors, western hedge funds are said in the report to be working with South Africans businesses to buy vast tracts of forest and farmland for investors in Europe and the US. The contracts show the government will waive taxes for up to 25 years, but few jobs will be created. … Full article

Silver Shield: The 3 Coming False Flags

From Dont-tread-on.me June 9th, 2011
By Silver Shield

I have been tempted to write about False Flags for sometime, because I feel we are on the verge of seeing another one very soon.

False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. (Wikipedia) False flags do not happen very often, but when they do happen, they change the paradigm we operate in. Now that we supposedly killed bin Laden last month, it seems like the deck is clear for another one.

Historically, false flags are military in nature, but I feel going forward, they will morph into something worse. Every system built on debt needs constant debt to be created, or the system implodes. If the Elite can expand the system through asset bubbles, then all is well. What happens if they can’t get more debt created?

They need to either steal other assets to provide capital to the system or they need a reason to create massive debts that the masses will sacrifice for. Wars do both. With war, the Elite can confiscate natural resources of other nations and provide the context to create massive amounts of new debt.

Our system is failing and there is NO fixing it. There is so much inequity built into the system, at every level, the only answer is a complete collapse.

This collapse will leave a generational scar, so that humanity never again consider fractional reserve banking and the war machine it enables. Until that collapse, the Elite will do what they have always done, create more debts and wars.

In my opening blog post this year, Doom is Always 6 Months Away, I wrote that the Elite see their power paradigm collapsing on its own cancerous self. A silver default, debt doom, dollar collapse, peak oil or whatever leads to the end of the Anglo American Petro Dollar financial paradigm.

I hypothesized the our Anglo-America Elite might need to pull off 3 false flags in order to fail forward. This might include the typical Military false flag, an Economic false flag and an Internet false flag.

These dramatic measures will seem necessary to the Elite and the horrific toll on humanity will be justified in their minds. This upheaval will be the time for the Elite to settle all of the threats to their power paradigm.

The first of the three threats to their power is the death of the dollar. The dollar is the basis of all of the Elites power, without it or an equivalent of it, they have no means to create the debt that enslaves nations, states, corporations, and citizens of the world. This debt provides the Elite and unlimited checkbook to fund the most powerful military in the world.

It controls the world’s natural resources so that their corporations can harvest them. It also protects the shipping lanes that transports the rest of the world’s trade. This debt also buys the political power for which the Elite rig the game to their favor. Finally, the Elite use the their money to own all of the major media in order to distract the masses from the real problem in this world, the Elite bankers.

It is no secret that the dollar is going to die, it is a mathematical inevitability. Nothing can stop the ultimate collapse of the dollar. Our monetary system is based on debt and in order for it to work, more debt needs to be created every year in excess of the debt AND interest accrued the year before.

If it does not happen, there would be a massive wave of defaults that would suck the system dry in a few weeks. When you truly understand this debt based money, you realize that debt cannot ever be repaid because there would not be 1 dollar in existence. In our sick system, money is created when debt is created. When debt is paid off money is destroyed.

The Elite don’t necessarily care if the Dollar lives or dies, they just want to control the world’s reserve currency. They would ultimately like to have an global international currency that would be far away from the pesky national politicians. So if the Dollar is doomed, how can the Elite fail forward?

Create a financial crisis so incredible that desperate people will beg the Elite to make the pain stop. They did it in 1907 to set the stage for the Federal Reserve. They did it in 2008 when they held up America for $700 billion. They will do it again and use the line of stability as the main reason why we should accept their new corrupt plan.

I don’t think they can pull off something so large like that without a much larger distraction to silence the masses, which brings me to the second threat. The only thing I think big enough to scare the masses under the “protective” hug of the Elite, is another World War. Nations outside the Anglo American empire have been gaining power the further we slip into debt and this is a huge threat.

Countries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, South Africa and many more like to a lesser extent like Japan, Germany, and France have been on the losing end of the Anglo American Empire for over a century. These nations have a history of Anglo American losses like the Cold War, Opium Wars, Operation Ajax, CIA attempted coup of Chavez, Apartheid, Hiroshima, Treaty of Versailles, and Waterloo.

These are only some of the examples our Elite have used in the past to ensure our supremacy. The Elite feed us some lie about us making the world safe for democracy, while they pull the most evil and disgusting power grabs to eliminate threats to their paradigm.

I believe that the collapse of the dollar will be blamed not on our corrupt and doomed monetary system that the Elite are in sole control of, they will blame it on China. Let me first state that I am NO fan of China. Their Elite have human rights violations against their own citizens that would make you sick to your stomach. Let’s be honest, China would not be a threat to us if our Elite did not build them up. Our Military Industrial Complex needs an enemy to justify their war machine.

The War on Terror was a good ride, but after almost a decade, it is getting a little old. Our banking system needed another country to buy into our paper Ponzi scheme. China became the most obvious target, after Japan gorged itself on our debt to death. Our Elites, made deals with their Elites, to move our manufacturing overseas to use their slave labor and pollute their environment.

The Chicoms got all of the technology, manufacturing and dollars to build up China as a threat. Our Elite did this to make tremendous profits and keep the dollar paradigm going. In the end, I believe the Elite intend to use the Chinese as the next enemy in a paradigm shifting war.

When China said no more American debt, the Federal Reserve stepped in as a buyer of last resort. This has bought us some time, but it is becoming obvious that even when QE3 happens, this won’t end good. The American economic system is like the heroin guy from the movie Se7en, any flash of inflation or deflation will create a massive heart attack.

The Elite must some how solve Triffin’s Dilemma where a world reserve currency reaches its apex and must be allowed to default, but somehow not drag down the rest of the world with it. The Elite have been trying to get regional and ultimately global currencies in place to solve this dilemma.

Now no nation is going to give up their power to create money, especially now that we are looking at the Euro imploding. The only option in to do it the old fashion way, through war.

The only thing the United States is good for is exporting debt and bombs. There is way too much at stake for our Elite to just walk silently into the night without a fight. They are trying to keep things going by fighting now four wars in the oil rich MENA region, but the writing is on the wall. The debt ceiling will be raised, more money/debt will be created and the war machine will churn.

This will not end because the Elite will say, “we can’t do this anymore.” If anything, history has shown when the chips are on the table and they are up against the ropes, they double down and go off to war. The destruction of the dollar will either be the cause of war or the war will be the destruction of the dollar. If there is a Economic False Flag, like a massive treasury sell off, that will be the cause for war with China.

Or if there is a Military False Flag, that will be the cause for the dollar’s destruction and forced introduction of a new money paradigm, possibly a global currency. The Elite will use this upheaval to destroy any competitors. In the smoking aftermath of the war, they will impose an new paradigm based off of the same destructive seeds of the old paradigm.

“Never waste a good crisis.” Hillary Clinton

There is a third threat to the Eilte’s power paradigm, the Internet. There is no doubt that the Internet has gotten away from the Elite and their lies have been exposed. Small sites like mine a hundreds of others show over and over again, the Emperor has no clothes.

I can see an Internet False flag to coincide with this Economic and Military false flag. They will blame China for massive Internet shut downs of many sites. I believe that the big corporations will still have functioning internet, but small sites will be shut down. If this does not happen, they may do something more tyrannical, and shut down sites that speak out against this lie of war and debt.

Most tyrannies go after the heads of the revolution like local leaders and/or opinion makers like journalists and bloggers. They may ignore us at first, then call us crazy or unpatriotic, but ultimately they may detain or kill us. My hope is that people see the big picture and spread this truth so that it becomes impossible to put the genie of truth back in the bottle.

One of the major reasons I created the Sons of Liberty Academy is to provide enough high level information to as many people so that they may conduct a leaderless resistance to the real enemy of us all, the Banksters.

My other hope is that those that are in charge of squelching dissent during these trying times will beOath Keepers, who will not follow un-Constitutional orders against their fellow citizens. The most likely outcome is the the government minion’s pay checks will bounce and their pensions stolen before we get to that kind of tyranny.

At that point, those minions will most likely be the strongest allies to the truth movement, as they spill the beans and point the fingers. I wrote and article Who Will Be the Most Dangerous Man in The World?, in it I describe a man that sees what he is doing evil and has the power to destroy the system he once created.Daniel Ellsberg exposed the Vietnam scam and ended that war.

We cannot fight evil, we only need to expose evil and it will cease to have power. The real challenge is to show people that the good that they think they are doing is really evil and they will no longer do it. We need to convince our fellow citizens that debt and war are evil and that we rid this scourge from humanity once and for all.

The timing and order of all of this is unknown, but just know that it is going to get dramatically worse before this gets any better. Every 80 years or so a paradigm dies and a new one is born out of the ashes of the old. 80 years ago we had the Great Depression and World War II and this was the creation of the current paradigm.

80 years before that we had the Civil War and 80 years before that we had the Revolutionary War. So far the United States has survived and gone on to become a Global Super Power. This time around we could have the possibility of a Revolutionary War, a Civil War, or a World War or even the combination of all three. There is nothing writing saying that America will go on. If fact given our horrible record of debt and war, this system deserves to die an awful death.

What lays ahead? I don’t think the United States will be invaded, but we will retreat from our 777 military bases all over the world. We will no longer be able to consume 25% of the world’s oil and create unlimited amounts of debt. Our lives will become much slower and local.

If the Internet does continue to be free, there is a great chance of a new Renaissance for humanity as we move past debt and war. If the Elite somehow win, you will see the rise of American Oligarchs. The Elite will fund and create front men to buy up strategic assets while there is blood on the streets. This happened during the collapse of the Soviet Empire and I believe it will happen here.

During the collapse of the Soviet Empire the Ruble was devalued, the economy collapsed and people starved. The Rothschilds came in with hard currencies like the Dollar and the Deutschmark and set up average men with banks and capital to buy state assets for a song. When our crisis comes, the Banksters will be screaming for state assets like land, roads, buildings, mining and drilling rights and other assets. They are doing this in Greece and they will do it here.

While all of this may be too scary or too much for you to believe or even too big for you to deal with, I encourage you to not hide from this coming reality. Things are only scary if you do not understand them. I have created the Sons of Liberty Academy to speed you through the 5 Stages of Awakening.

When you are aware, you can prepare. You can stay ahead of the curve to at the very least, stay out of danger, and at the most, be able to spot opportunities along the way. Mental preparation is by far the most important thing you can be doing right now.

Nothing will help you mentally prepare as quickly as the Sons of Liberty Academy. After that, you need to physically prepare to have food, shelter, and the means to protect yourself. Finally, I recommend you read the Silver Bullet and the Silver Shield to create generational wealth on the other side of this coming paradigm shift.
