In A.D. 1944, an international conference was held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to establish a new monetary system for the post-WWII world.  A fundamental principle of the resulting “Bretton Woods Agreement” was that the US dollar would be backed by gold and would come to be used as the world reserve currency.

In A.D. 1971, President Nixon closed the “gold window” and stopped redeeming foreign-held US dollars with gold.  Some people suppose that when the US dollar became pure fiat and was no longer redeemable in gold, the Bretton Woods Agreement ended.

However, the original Bretton Woods Agreement involved much more than merely promising to redeem foreign-held dollars with gold.  Vestiges of that Agreement continue to function and exert influence under the oversight of The Bretton Woods Committee.

According to the Bretton Woods Committee’s website,

“The Bretton Woods Committee is the nonpartisan network of prominent global citizens, which works to demonstrate the value of international economic cooperation and to foster strong, effective Bretton Woods institutions as forces for global well-being.

“The Committee was created in 1983 at the suggestion of two former Treasury officials—Secretary Henry Fowler and Deputy Secretary Charls Walker, a Democrat and a Republican—who saw the need for an organized effort to ensure that leading citizens spoke about the importance of the international financial institutions (IFIs).

“Committee members are leaders at the top of the business, finance, academicacademic, and non-profit sectors, including many industry CEOs, as well as former presidents, cabinet-level officials, and lawmakers who share the belief that international economic cooperation is essential and best served through strong and effective IFIs. Through the Committee, they champion global efforts to spur economic growtheconomic growth, alleviate poverty, and improve financial stability.”

Would you trust a group of men and woman who lived in the United States of America but who identified themselves as “prominent global citizens” to represent the best interest of the vast majority of the American people?  Would you trust that same group if they focused on building “international economic cooperation” and on supporting “international financial institutions” rather than building national (American) economic strength?

Insofar as the 32 signatories to his letter are “prominent global citizens,” are you and I also presumed to be “global [but not ‘prominent’] citizens”?

•  These “International Financial Institutions” (a/k/a “Bretton Woods Institutions”), “. . . were created in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in 1944 during the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference. At the conference, member nations agreed to create a family of institutions to address critical issues in the international financial system.”

These institutions include:  the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group, the International Finance Corporation, Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, World Trade Organization, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the Inter-American Development Bank.  Their stated objectives are to “promote economic growtheconomic growth,” “alleviate poverty,” and “improve global financial stability”.

That’s quite an impressive lineup of “international financial institutions”—all under the influence of The Bretton Woods Committee.

On reflection, The Bretton Woods Committee and its “family” of International Financial Institutions are at least close to, and almost certainly the foundation for, global governance and a New World Order.

If so, that’s more support for the “conspiracy theories” that the New World Order is primarily a coalition of banks and global bankers.   However, there’s also a faint suggestion that the backbone of the New World Order isn’t necessarily the world’s Central Banks so much as the “International  Financial Institutions” operating under, or in association with, The Bretton Woods Committee.

•  On March 12^th, A.D. 2014, The Bretton Woods  Committee sent a letter to Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House John Boehner, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The letter’s purpose was to ask Congress to enact a new law to allow the US government to guarantee a total of $2.6 billion in loans to Ukraine.  A pristine copy of that letter can be downloaded from: http://philosophyofmetrics.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/bwc-top-cabinet-and-national-security-officials-letter-on-imf.pdf

Perhaps this letter’s most impressive characteristic is the list of names associated with The Bretton Woods Committee and/or this particular letter:

2 Honory Co-Chairmen:  Presidents George Bush and Jimmy Carter

6 Former Committee Leaders:  Gerald R. Ford, Henry H. Fowler, Paul A. Volker, and others.

32 Signatories to this letter, including: Madeleine Albright, James Baker, Sandy Berger, Zbigniew Brezezinski, Frank C. Carlucci, Timothy Geithner, Alan Greenspan,  Henry Kissinger, Leon Panetta,  Henry Paulson, Condoleeza Rice, Robert Rubin, Brent Scowcraft, Lawrence H. Summers, three retired Generals,  and one retired Admiral.

That’s quite a crew of heavy hitters.

The letter reads as follows:

“Dear Majority Leader Reid, Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Pelosi:

“We write to urge Congress to maintain strong U.S. leadership in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by enacting IMF quota reform legislation. For over 60 years, the IMF has been a principal tool for advancing U.S. national security and economic interests globally.”

The second sentence fascinates in that the Committee admits that a principal duty of The International Monetary Fund is to advance US national security and economic interests globally.  They’re admitting that the IMF is little more than a puppet for the US government.

“The immediate importance of a strong IMF role for countries in crisis is apparent now in Ukraine, which seeks help from the U.S. and IMF to maintain its independence and economic health, and to reduce its energy dependence on Russia.  Implementation of IMF quota reform would mean Ukraine would be able to borrow 60% more in rapid IMF financing (from $1B to $1.6B) than is possible today. Coupled with the U.S. $1 billion in new loan guarantees for Ukraine currently being considered by the Congress, Ukraine would have a total of $2.6 billion in emergency resources to draw upon to stabilize its economy. This enhances the geopolitical position of Ukraine’s government in the current crisis with Russia.”

The proposed “IMF quota reform” would allow Ukraine to borrow another $600 million (total $1.6 billion) from the IMF, based the US guarantee to make good on the loan, if Ukraine defaults.  These loans from the IMF would be in addition to the $1 billion in loan guarantees already contemplated by Congress.

The Committee isn’t asking the US gov-co to actually lend more currency to Ukraine.  Instead, the objective seems only to be to persuade the US government (which wields ultimate control over IMF activities) to guarantee and act as surety for whatever currency is lent by the IMF to Ukraine.   The Committee doesn’t trust Ukraine to repay its loans, so the Committee is trying to protect IMF assets by getting the US to “co-sign” for those loans.  Thus, the Committee is not representing US interests, but is instead representing IMF interests.

•  The previous paragraph from the Committee’s letter includes the word “stabilize”.  In subsequent paragraphs you’ll see six more variations on that word, including “stabilize,” “destabilize,” “instability,” “stability”.  I conclude that a principal goal of The Bretton Woods Committee (and perhaps the US and IMF) is to maintain stability and the status quo for the world’s nations and economies.

If so, that’s a very defensive and ultimately untenable position.  Whether the Committee and/or our government like it or not, the world is overrun by growing forces for change.  The Committee and/or our government may be trying to prevent that change by maintaining the status quo.    That defensive posture implies that the elite want global stability in order to hold onto whatever power they have, in part because they can’t acquire any more, and in part, because they fear loss of whatever power they’ve got.  They’re trying to maintain an “orderly” financial system and suppress all evidence of instability.

I expect that most people in Europe and America would support maintaining stability.  But I’d bet that most people in Asia and the emerging markets would support destabilizing the current “global system” so as to grab a bigger slice of the global economic “pie”.

•  In the final analysis, is political or economic instability really a bad thing?  Or, is it a natural part of life that’s needed flush institutionalized corruption and imbalance out the system every so often?

Good or bad, instability (like the poor) will always be with us.  But whenever any government or special interest fears instability, that’s evidence that that government or special interest is losing power and fears losing even more.  “Law and Order” is not the mantra of the powerful.  It’s the mantra of the weak who fear being overwhelmed by the forces of change.  If you’re going to fight instability rather than take advantage of it as “opportunity,” odds are you’re going to lose and be left behind.

•  The object behind the new “IMF quota reform” is to increase the amount of currency Ukraine is able to borrow by increasing US guarantees that Ukraine loans will be repaid.

Given that the US government recently defaulted on its treaty obligation to defend Ukraine against Russia, the value of a US guarantee of loans made to Ukraine wouldn’t seem to be particularly valuable.  In fact, there’s a good chance that lenders might laugh at the idea of lending money to Ukraine based on US guarantees.

More, what part of the U.S. Constitution instructs or empowers the U.S. gov-co to guarantee loans made to foreign countries in order to preserve that country’s “geopolitical position”?  I know that the US gov-co has loaned currency to, and/or guaranteed loansguaranteed loans on behalf of, foreign countries in the past.  But given America’s current economic condition and our government’s insolvency, wouldn’t it be imprudent take on further debt obligations that might ultimately be imposed on the American people?

Wise or not, is it constitutional for our government to guarantee loans made by a third party to another nation’s government?

“The IMF doesn’t always get it right but it has been doing important work in countries for decades to stabilize their financial situation and put them on a path toward economic growtheconomic growth for decades.  This clearly serves our interests.”

Whose “interests” are being served?  Those of the American people?  Or those of the globalists represented by the “prominent, global citizens” of The Bretton Woods Committee?

“Advancing National Security Interests:  The IMF is often the first responder of choice for the United States and our allies, to help countries prevent or manage financial crises before they destabilize an economy and give rise to conditions of economic stagnation, poverty, and political instability, which can embolden terrorism.  When Russia went to war with Georgia in 2008, the U.S-backed IMF $750 million emergency loanemergency loan to Georgia countered the early financial fallout and kept our friend on a path of market-friendly economic policies. It was the IMF that stepped in to provide financial assistancefinancial assistance to the former Eastern European countries after the fall of the Berlin Wall.  U.S -supported IMF loans helped stabilize Pakistan after 9/11, and have reinforced fragile economies such as Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco to help ensure our partners can focus on counter-terrorism cooperation and combating radical extremism.”

The phrase “National Security Interests” is a euphemism for “Government Security Interests”.  Our government’s “national security interests” have little to do with protecting the nation or its people, but are primarily intended to protect the government.

Did the IMF loans helploans help “stabilize Pakistan after 9/11”?  Or were those IMF loans used to bribe Pakistani officers and officials to maintain “market-friendly economic policies”?

Are “market-friendly economic policies” conducive to supporting or diminishing each man’s “unalienable Rights” as declared in our “Declaration of Independence”?  Or do such policies only increase the wealth and power of the globalists?

It’s interesting that the Bretton Woods Committee seems to view “terrorism” and “radical extremism” as threats to “market friend economic policies” and “economic stability” rather than threats to people’s lives or political systems.  Apparently, for that Committee, it’s all about the money.  On the other hand, “terrorists” and “radical extremists” may be defined by the globalists as anyone who fights for national identity and against the idea of world governance and the New World Order.

“Promoting U.S. Economic Interests:  In its role to promote the stability of the international monetary and financial system, the IMF consistently promotes a growth-oriented agenda based on open markets and strong macroeconomic and structural policies.

“IMF support to the Euro Area during the recent financial crisis lessened the global fallout and financial instability of highly interconnected economies, and forced long-needed structural reforms to begin to take place. The IMF was first responder to the Asian crisis in the late 1990s, and helped restore growth to Asian economies and create robust export markets for U.S. businesses, which supports American jobs.”

That’s a bunch of crap.  Did the IMF’s lending to Asia during the 1990s develop “robust export markets” for the USA?   If so, why are we still running substantial trade deficits with the world?

How were “American jobs” “supported” by the IMF’s lending to Asia over the past 20 years?   Isn’t it true that many American jobs have fled this country to take residence in China?

By lending money to foreign counties, did the IMF primarily create markets for American products?  Or did the IMF create foreign industries able to effectively compete against American industries and thereby cause the loss of American profits, jobs, high wages, and standard of living?

The proof is in the pudding.  Are Americans blessed with lower unemployment rates today than we had in the 1990s?  Are American wages rising or falling? Is the American standard of living rising or falling?

Has the IMF really worked in the best interests of the people of the United States?  Or has it worked against those interests?   The answer’s obvious.  The Bretton Woods Committee’s claims that the IMF works for the best interests of the people of the United States are lies.

If it’s true that the IMF has worked against the best interests of the American people, and it’s known that the IMF is dominated, some say, controlled, by the US government, then it follows that our government has been working against the best interests of the American people for at least a generation.

“Implementing the IMF quota reforms negotiated by the United States in 2010 bolsters our leadership in the Fund without increasing the overall U.S. financial commitment.  It requires other countries to make additional financial commitments, effectively providing a larger and more stable source of financing that the U.S.—as the largest shareholder and only country with veto power over major IMF decisions—can leverage to continue to preserve our national security and economic interests abroad. A stronger IMF keeps emerging economies secured in the system we designed without sacrificing any of our influence.

“We would therefore urge the Congress to continue its longstanding, bipartisan support of the International Monetary Fund for our national self-interest and for the good of the global system.”

When the Bretton Woods Committee refers to bolstering “our leadership” and “our national self-interest” does the word “our” refer to the government of the United State, the people of the United States, or the “prominent global citizens” who comprise The Bretton Woods Committee?

Similarly, who are the “we” in the phrase “the system we designed”—the US government, American people or the Committee’s “prominent global citizens”?

Whoever those authors may be, it’s apparent that “the system we designed” is the current “global [fiat monetary] system”.

Knowing the identity of the “we” who designed that “global system” is important since that “we” will undoubtedly be the primary beneficiaries of that “global system”.

Does this “we” include the American people?  Or is that “we” only the “prominent global citizens” composed of super-rich and/or high former government officials who are closely associated with The Bretton Woods Committee and/or similar organizations?

Where does the U.S. Constitution grant powers to government, Congress or even “prominent global citizens” to “design” a “global system” and a New World Order that’s paid for, in part or in whole, by the wealth or guaranteed loans of the People of The United States of America?

If the American people aren’t part of the “we” behind this global system, they probably won’t benefit from that system—but will they even be impoverished, oppressed and even enslaved by that “global system”?

The letter concludes with “Respectfully yours,” followed by the signatures of 32 “prominent global citizens”¹ who include:

7 Secretaries of the Treasury:  Nicholas Brady, Timothy Geithner, Paul H. O’Neill, Henry Paulson, Robert Rubin, John Snow, Lawrence H. Summers,

6 National Security Advisors: Sandy Berger, Zbigniew Brzezinski , Stephen J. Hadley, Henry Kissinger, Robert McFarlane, Brent Scowcroft

4 Congressmen and/or Senators:  William Cohen, Lee Hamilton, Tom Ridge, Vin Weber

4 Generals and/or Admirals:  Michael W. Hagee (USMC; Ret.),  Brent Scowcroft (USAF; Ret.), Charles F. Wald (USAF; Ret.), James M. Loy (USCG; Ret.)

3 Secretaries of State:  Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, Condoleeza Rice

3 Secretaries of Defense:  Harold Brown, Frank Carlucci, Leon Panetta

2 U.S. Trade Representatives:  Charlene Barshefsky, Carla Hills,

2 Directors and/ or Deputy Directors of the CIA:  Frank Carlucci, Leon Panetta

2 Private Bankers:  Timothy Geithner, Robert Rubin

2 Homeland Security advisors:  Lee Hamilton, Tom Ridge

1 Chairman of the Federal Reserve:  Alan Greenspan

1 Secretary of Agriculture:  Clayton Yeutter

1 Secretary of Health and Urban Development:  Carla Hills

1 President of the World Bank:  Robert Zoellick

I have little doubt that this list of names is a “Who’s Who?” of the America’s “prominent global citizens” and proponents of globalism and the New World Order.

I have much doubt that any of these “prominent global citizens” are working for the best interests of the American people.

So long as Americans remain indifferent to the forces of globalism, The United States of America will continue to decline and  possible national destruction.

¹There are more than 32 offices included in this list because some of these “prominent global citizens” held more than one significant office and are therefore listed more than once.

A Most Important Message To All

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It seems that so many of you are focusing on “When is it going to happen?”, “What is the rate?”, or “I want my money!”. “It”, being the collective transactions encompassed in the Global Currency Exchange and the World Global Settlements, which includes the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar and the Vietnamese Dong, which many of you hold.

Many of you have allotted so many delirious hours reading “The blog of the moment”, deciphering “information”, cross referencing against previous or other “intel” (now there’s a concept) and rating the accuracy of alleged gurus and their “sources”.  The end result is that most of you still shake your fists at the sky, utter adult based comments and then, after verbally releasing all of your pain and suffering, do it all over tomorrow.  It seems that watching the entertainment value of the blogs should be a national past time worthy of their own award show and when the gurus are called up to receive their statue, they are able to slip in an update for you.  Now, as much as this might be humorous after all of the months, I do have a very serious question.

How many of you are focused on what to do once it does re-valuate?

This coming event is the largest financial transaction in the history of the world. People need to take those words seriously and respect the effort put into keeping humanity intact and to literally fix the shattered financial system.

If I may suggest, the center of your focus should not be “when”. Please allow me to suggest a few things you need to look at because it will be in direct relationship to your quality of life in these United States.

You all need to start looking very closely at our leadership – those that “We the People” elect.  Some tough decisions are going to have to be made, like what “We the citizens” say about the direction of our country and the humanitarian qualities we exude to the world.  For one, rid yourself of the idea that such leaders are “Kings” and “Queens”.

We question why you folks question gurus more than you question what is happening in your own communities.  Remember, all politicians have to start somewhere – you are the testing grounds for the perfection of their verbal diarrhea.  Hold on, that should be capitalized … there we go … Bullshit.  I am sure that some have fainted after you realized I used an eight letter word … get it together… off the floor.  Question their every action and word, and do not take the spin they issue to get elected. People need to start taking responsibility for whom they elect. Look at the carnage and corruption that has had to be reversed, and it all started in your own neighborhoods. Please, take a moment and think about it, then ask your neighbor his opinion.

The cabal, and their conspirators, need to continue to be isolated and thrown out.  When all is said and done, why are there 310 million Americans, and less than one thousand of them in the Washington D.C. beltway?! Why can’t we control them to represent our wishes? Why not take out your pitchforks and poke them in the keester?  Why not remind them, in all ways, who they represent?  Now I feel better that I was able to start my rant on the ol’ soapbox … it has been a while.

Some of you stand to be on the receiving end of a substantial windfall, and you need to understand some important things about the blessing.  For example, realize the Western European monetary system is the weakest it has ever been since its inception. Other countries with emerging economies will have equal say in the world. They are developing, and we are still here only because of many other countries and their good graces.  Our leaders sold us out in unimaginable ways and the rest of the world are not too keen on them at this point. Leaders always look at treasonous bastards as treasonous bastards regardless of were they come from.  The wealth of our country, and others, was diverted into our leaders’ pockets.  Sorry, I thought I was done ranting.

The world has now stepped up and started to correct the imbalances within it. The responsible world leaders have correctly determined that American leadership has failed after our leadership has fully looted the coffers of the US and various places around the world. By the good graces of the world, the people are now going to have good things bestowed upon them, not the leadership. Pay attention, because that means you will have to assume some unfamiliar responsibilities in the future.

If we, as a citizenry, wish to take possession of what is ours, we better understand what that means, and take control. It’s time to shift your focus. Start thinking about how you are going to take responsibility for your local communities, your cities, your States and national government. If someone does not perform in government, they need to go. Jail them if they lie, cheat and steal. Shift your priorities onto what you are going to be given to manage, and onto things that matter in keeping it and using it responsibly.

There will be no second chances. There will not be another group of 1800 people that wish to give up their lives for six years to resurrect the world’s financial system one more time. It will be our responsibility to safeguard such from now on. If we fail to maintain this gift, the next time around the consequences could be horrendous – war, famine, social collapse. It’s time to be responsible, to be engaged in your surroundings and band together irrespective of religious, racial, cultural, political or social differences. We won’t cure the ills of the world unless we do so.

Whether you believe it, or not, at some point in time we will have a revalue, and there will come an opportunity to exchange. The bank will ask, “Where do you want your money?” People will say, “Put it in my account, please”. Then, the spending will commence.  People have dreams of a fleet of luxury cars, multi-million dollar homes on the beach, a BBJ airplane, a yacht, mindless travel, etc.

Such rash actions are folly.  These people will be the first into bankruptcy. It is theorized that six out of ten of such people will be right back where they are today, within three to five years.

The reasons for such failures are simple to understand. Such people fail to hire the right professionals to properly manage wealth. Egos are allowed to get in the way, and this causes a failure to understand what money is and how it should be managed and utilized.

The smart advice is this: Once the funds go into your bank account, take three to six months off and just let it sit there. If you have bills to pay, then pay them. Save your house from foreclosure, get your car out of hock, pay junior’s college bill, catch up on your back taxes, and pay off all your debts. Then, just sit on the rest. At this point you have a period of time to research financial and wealth management. You have the time to interview professionals. You have time to ask other people who they use as their professionals, if any. Now is the time for you to consider how you wish to structure the rest of your life and your families life.

To be sure, be prepared. The bank will send a guy in a $1500 Armani suit urging you to buy all kinds of products that will be good for the bank, but not necessarily for you. The banks will also try to promote you to other such types in an effort to “save you”. These guys have been waiting for you for years. They see a lot of “new money”, ripe for the picking. Don’t participate. Wait for the advice of your selected professionals.

During your months of cooling your jets, deal with people who are experienced with management of substantial wealth. Do not place your fate into the hands of a bank employee wealth manager. If the bank tries to make an appointment with one for you, say, “No thank you”, and walk out the door.

In the area of tax help, you need to apply the same rules. If your 1099 CPA has never done work for high net worth clients, then ask him for a referral to one that has. If he gets insulted, well, tough. It’s time to grow up and realize that you are now in the big leagues, and you will have to do some things that may be uncomfortable. Best get used to it.

Again, exchange and do nothing for a while. Do your research, and take your time. Do it right. If you wind up with more money than you ever made in your life, then congratulations! You made it. BUT THAT IS ONLY 50% OF THE BATTLE.  THE OTHER 50% IS KEEPING IT.  Now, it’s time to think differently, be responsible and realize that you are not just some kid who has money to buy bubble gum.  If you do not listen to the right advice, you will end up bankrupt.

Managing money is a full time job. The sharks in the Armani suits will be circling, and they will bend you over without any conscience and with amazing alacrity, if you let them.

Lastly, let me speak from my spiritual perspective, and please adjust it to yours.

“When you die, you will stand before God and his Son and be judged for your time on earth. When He questions you, as to why you should be allowed eternal life in heaven, do you tell Him about your life of achievements and success, or tell Him what you did for your Brother…….the meekest of His children.”

Remember to…. PAY IT FORWARD.

This is a great explanation.
I am sure some of you know what the 3^rd Amendment was
all about… This is a great explanation.  Listen to the dummy.  This dummy is not so dumb after all. Maybe all the anti-gun advocates should be more aware of the 3^rd amendment.
