The Bretton Woods Committee

This post comes from the hard work of readers BGSV and DANEACKERMAN who have been digging for nuggets of truth and evidence to support the thesis we are presenting here on this site.  Namely that the IMF 2010 Code of Reforms will be the first of many catalysts which will enact the required changes for the world to move from the old financial system to a new multilateral system centralized around the IMF and the SDR’s.

 

My approach to this subject was from underneath by way of pattern recognition and micro/macro comparisons.  As such, there were many things I missed along the way.

The quality of readers who have been attracted to my blog has overwhelmed me.  The links and supporting evidence that they have discovered and shared on this site have been outstanding.

In many cases the comment sections of each post is more valuable than the original information provided.  As an example, just over the last few days the readers I referenced above have discovered and shared information regarding The Bretton Woods Committee.  On their website it states:

“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.”

It would be beneficial for all readers to also explore that site and get a broader understanding of the quality and level of people involved in the movement to transition the world to a multilateral financial system which will be centralized around the IMF.  The SDR will no doubt become the much talked about supra-sovereign reserve currency.

The site can be found at the following link:

http://www.brettonwoods.org/

As BGSV and DANEACKERMAN have discovered, the Bretton Woods Committee released a “unified message” on March 12, 2014, encouraging the US Congress to pass the 2010 IMF Reforms.  From the press release:

“Today 190 policy experts, business and academic leaders, and former Senate-confirmed appointees who had oversight responsibilities for organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank delivered a unified message to Congress: promptly enact IMF quota reform legislation.”

For anyone who doubts the importance of these reforms, this message from the Bretton Woods Committee should make them think twice.  Including the demands of Russia and the G20 as well.

The full message from the group can be downloaded as a PDF below.  It contains the actual signatures of the authors.

BWC Top Cabinet and National Security Officials Letter on IMF

I’m on vacation this week from my regular job but have been trying to do some updates and a little writing.  I will continue to share when and as much as possible.

Things continue to happen quickly here, especially in regards to the Ukrainian situation.  Just today, the US stated that they will not become militarily involved in the Ukraine.  Ukraine military itself is retreating from Crimea and the final conclusion is pretty much what we were assuming it would be.

A few things to watch over the coming days will be how Russia responds to the weak sanctions opposed on them by the west.

And how will the world respond to the US reluctance to implement the 2010 Quota Reforms as we move into April and its G20 meeting?  Will Congress accomplish what the obviously influential Bretton Woods Committee is asking them to do?

If not, what will be the consequences?  The G20 has already stated that they will use aggressive measures to enact the reforms without US compliance.  This will mean the removal of the dollar as the worlds reserve currency by force, as Russia has threatened.  America will also be stripped of its veto vote on the IMF Executive Board.

Perhaps this is the ultimate plan.  Make the reforms impossible to pass in Congress so the aggressive measures can be justified.  Perhaps the members of the Bretton Woods Committee are attempting one last effort to save the United States from a Soviet Union style collapse.

Our televisions will say that no one saw this coming.  But there are those of us who do see it coming.  Will it be consolidation or collapse?  We still wait and wonder.  – JC Collins

Greetings, 
  
I have received information to share with you at this time. To clarify a few points concerning  all of you:
  • One World of Nations fully knows and understands how deeply important it is to all of you. For that reason, we have been assured that as soon as anything clears, WHA will be advised directly, and any further guidance given. Only two sites (OWoN and WHA) will be given this guidance. We will be looked after and helped.
  • Also, no, the OWoN parties do not have any grandiose attitudes. Please be assured of that. They always treat WHA respectfully and with a humble attitude. But, trouble usually finds those who ask for it, so please, now is not the time to act like a clown.  
  • There is a truly sensitive understanding of the need to help you all with clear information when possible.
  • There is also a clear lock down right now so as not to risk disrupting the process or stirring up Guru sites.

I am forever grateful for the assistance you are all giving this site. The White Hats, their associates and staff, are grateful to you for your patience as they work on the final stages of this monumental undertaking. 

WHA

Greetings,

We are getting daily help as needed from One World of Nations and they are looking after us as well as looking out for us. It is not going out anywhere but OWoN or WHA. 

Once the rates are known, and the PPs transacted, WHA will be advised how to rapidly assist.

Yes, we do care.

Once exchange procedures are known, WHA will advise you all.

OWoN will know instantly as it goes to London. 

Our questions are being handled courteously and with polite responses.

OWoN has direct access to both the Chinese Elders and M1, plus Reno so there is no better place to be. 

However,  they will not hold dialog with Gurus or parties with bad attitudes, as is their right, so please be patient. 

Whether this week or next, be assured, they are very much in the fight.   Once it is fully qualified it will be shared with us so we can help further.

Please understand the magnitude of this message. Please continue to conduct yourselves as adults. Your courtesy and cooperation has been appreciated!

WHA

EXCLUSIVE: ANONYMOUS LETTER FROM A FORMER MARINE ALL AMERICANS NEED TO READ…

 

http://www.americasfreedomfighters.com/2014/03/04/exclusive-anonymous-letter-from-a-former-marine-all-americans-need-to-read/

AMERICAS FREEDOM FIGHTERS RECEIVES MANY LETTERS FROM  MILITARY MEMBERS-ACTIVE DUTY AS WELL AS RETIRED VETERANS FROM ALL  BRANCHES EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERNS ON THE CURRENT STATE OF AMERICA AND  THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. WE FEEL IT IS OUR DUTY TO RELEASE SOME OF  THESE LETTERS TO THE PUBLIC AND TRUST YOU WILL FIND THIS VERY  INTERESTING.

To: Connecticut, DC, and the United States of America From: An American, a patriot, and a former US Marine.

I think you need to hear a bit of a history lesson. I think you need  to hear something about the men and women of the United States military. I think you need to rethink some things about current events.

Our nation was born of rebellion. Brave men stood up and pledged  “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” to the cause. The  cause of rebellion. The cause of throwing off the yoke of tyranny and  oppression. Why did they make this oath? They told King George, and the  world why, in the declaration they signed. The Declaration of  Independence stated that men were born free, endowed by a Creator with  inalienable rights. That ultimate liberty was the inherent state of man  -government didn’t give them rights, and could not rightly take them  away. On the contrary, the power of the government was only by the  consent of those being governed. They stated that King George had  committed numerous abuses and usurpations of power that made it their  “sacred duty” to “Throw off the yoke of his government, and create for  themselves their own.” They listed 21 of those “abuses and usurpations”,  and now our own government commits at least 16 of them on a regular  basis. Our government, like King George, usurps power that is not their  own. Presidents pass “executive orders” and pretend that they are law.  It used to be a few, 2 or 3 in a term, but George W. Bush passed 63 of  them in 8 years. Barack Obama has been in office less than 6, and has  passed over a thousand. The Supreme Court is supposed to interpret, not  pass laws. They are specifically forbidden to legislate from the bench.  But they do it on a regular basis. 16 of 21 abuses and usurpations that  King George was accused of, our government does daily. The founding  fathers wrote a Constitution for us, to be the highest law of the land.  It does not give rights, for freedom is the natural state of man. It  guarantees them. It exists to hold government in check. To protect the  people from the government. Not one colony would ratify the Constitution until it did list some specific rights of the people, and decree that  the United States government could never infringe on those rights. And  so we got the first ten amendments, called the Bill of Rights. Out of  those 10, our government completely ignores at least 6 of them. Our  elected officials think that they are our rulers, not our  representatives. But that’s ok. The founders saw that coming. They  accounted for it. They put right there in the Constitution that it is  the right of the American people to dissolve their government and start  over any time they deem it necessary. And the second right they listed  that government can not take away is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Make no mistake, they intended for American citizens to be  armed. George Washington said that the American people should be armed,  “and not only armed and equipped, but should be trained, and have  sufficient ammunition available to protect themselves from any who would attempt to abuse them. This includes their own government.” They  absolutely saw it coming. Thomas Jefferson said that “The Tree of  Liberty must needs be refreshed from time to time with the blood of  patriots and tyrants.” Ben Franklin said that “Rebellion against tyranny is obedience to God.” He even wanted to put that phrase on the official United States seal! He wanted to give us a reminder. When a young man  or woman enlists in the service of the US military, he or she raises  his/her right hand before God and men and swears an oath. “I (state your name), do hereby solemnly swear (or affirm), to uphold, support, and  defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all  enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to  the same”…. Think about that for a moment – millions of people, all of  our military and veterans, swore an oath to “defend the CONSTITUTION of  the United States of America. Against ALL ENEMIES, foreign AND DOMESTIC. We didn’t swear to uphold a political party, or a political system, and we definitely didn’t swear to defend any certain elected position. Our  oath was not to government, but to the Constitution. It is our “sacred  duty” to defend our Constitution from any who would usurp it’s  authority, subvert its principles, or attempt to do away with it. The  blood of patriots runs in our veins. We have something worth defending.  Worth fighting for if need be. And we have sworn an oath to do so. Think about that before you send officers to go door to door demanding the  people’s guns. Connecticut, you do not have the authority to undermine  your people’s God-given rights. You do not have the authority to  overthrow their Constitutional rights. The people have the authority to  overtake you. What do you think will happen? Do you think you’ll go  house to house and trample your people’s Constitutional rights, and  nothing will happen? You’re in for a very rude awakening if you do…

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

=====================================================================

We will update you later today on Dong / Dinar moves playing out as attempts are being made to re launch again from next week.

This WILL be orchestrated via a number of organized Private Placement only exchanges being contemplated first. For the rest it will be a case of Dog eat Dog in the free far all likely to follow. with the screams of “What about me? ” from vast armies of left behind. Between ourselves and WHA we will try to advise when the facts are clear, but we continue each day, communicating between Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong, London, Washington, and overlapping with our parties from Reno to the East Coast as we push for closure. 

Many Good Men (and Women) are Globally committed in unison trying to get the first stages released. 

Cashing out is YOUR own responsibility. You got yourselves into it and will have to get yourselves out of it finding your own conversion cash out exit. 5 million Banshees screaming what about me will not be a pretty site as chaos envelopes those left behind. As the Irish would say, Eejits  [Irish slang for “idiots”] will get killed in the Bums Rush once the signal is given. Those who do read daily will be ahead of the pack. Wait and your dead bait. One fault then, yours. The crumbs will be left so go for them fast. Damned big crumbs for those moving their Butts. It will be first come first served and lose the rest as overproduction waste. 

Cash in and get out fast because this won’t last. Chaos will follow. Think of a Sty at feeding time around the trough! Welcome to Dong and Dinar land. For those cashing out, well done. The rest, life?  As always, there are no absolutes and they may move the closings yet again but stay alert now. Snooze and lose. Good luck so be ready. All we can do is advise AFTER the PPs are done. Sure as hell not before. Ignore the usual lunatic sites nothing has happened, but if it triggers after Phase One we will advise when safe to do so once the PP.s are cleared safely. 

Maybe a few will get lucky this time. Good luck to all of you, you can but try.

=======================================================================

The above words, from John at One World of Nations, were posted today. I thought it would be best to post this as a new FC since the information comes from a known player; way, way up the ladder and someone identified as knowing the lay of the land. I know a lot of you would appreciate seeing some corroboration on the main idea we have been trying to make very clear to those of you with dinar and dong: Act quickly. 

We know many of you take exception to his abrasive style, but we would recommend that you head the words, warts and all. Let us focus on the matters of relevance and sharing what will do the most good for those that are fortunate enough to have found the right place to be so they may be properly informed.  

We will amend this post with any follow-up information as mentioned above, good or bad.

I can truly say that after careful observation of the process, I think that the main reason we have seen so much confusing “intel” over the years, along with so many missed deadlines, is simply because of one thing: The effort to release it all being pushed against by the counter efforts of others. These efforts, back and forth, take on a process that creates massive waves of information that travels over multiple relay points, losing details and accuracy along the way. Additionally, as that information becomes distorted, it then also becomes stale and outdated by virtue of sudden changes at the source point. You can only imagine the confusion that can result from this process.  

Please continue to remember those that are working and sacrificing much to push these projects forward to completion.

Be sure to read the last 2 paragraphs, good example of why we have so many disagreements with people who just don’t seem to get it. They get it, but their opinions are formed based on incomplete info that is presented by the “presstitutes”. The truth is often withheld.

 

Transl. Michael Colhaze     Freeman on March 12, 2014

The German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel (Daily Mirror) launched an online survey on March 6th, asking its readers in faulty German of how the West should react with regard to Russia’s incursions into Ukraine. What follows were the different answers from which the readers could choose.

  • Russia’s exclusion from the G8 summit should be considered 
  • The conflict can be only solved diplomatically, and the G8 summit is important in this respect
  • Western censure is hypocritical, since Russia defends legitimate interests
  • If the escalation continues, a military intervention by NATO forces should not be excluded

Freeman

By four o’clock in the afternoon, 9420 readers had answered the survey, and what they had to say filled the presstitutes from the Tagesspiegel with sheer horror.  Because only a puny four percent, and we know who those are, favoured a military intervention by NATO forces. Whereas a staggering seventy eight percent believed that Western  hacks like Kerry or Merkel were mere hypocrites and that Russia defended indeed legitimate interests.

So what happened? At four o’clock and five minutes, the survey was abruptly taken off the net  and never seen again. Which clearly indicates that the propaganda lies of our hostile elite and their once invincible  media outlets are losing ground. And which, as you will agree, is a ray of hope in the murky Western skies, particularly since the once so totally indoctrinated and docile Germans are seemingly waking up.

The Algorithmic Central Bankers

Algorithm

By JC Collins

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted today to include the 2010 IMF Reforms in the Ukraine aid bill.  It will now go to the Senate for vote.  If it passes there it will then be required to pass in the House of Representatives.  It is assumed that all of this will have to transpire by end of day Friday, which is when Congress goes on a short recess.

 

Additionally, the referendum over Crimean annexation takes place this weekend.  The United States will surely want to make a statement before then.

The bill also includes weak sanctions on both Ukraine and Russia for violations of human rights against government protestors.  This is merely for distraction purposes.

With Europe slowly and quietly sidestepping in Russia’s direction, and Ukrainian officials themselves stating that there will be no response from them over the annexation of Crimea, this whole charade is beginning to have the same feel as Syria 2013.

Let’s watch for the slow withdrawal of this matter from the media as the slight of hand directs our attention away from Ukraine and towards another hot spot revolution or sovereign debt crisis.

Its not clear yet if the Internal Revenue Service’s proposed rule governing 501(c)(4) groups was included in the same bill.  This proposed rule has been attached to the IMF 2010 Reforms up until now and there is no reason to think that it still isn’t.

For those who don’t know yet, this IRS rule change will severely restrict freedom of speech in America in staggered time segments leading up to elections.  It will prevent non-profit groups from expressing opinions on politicians before elections.  What the IRS and Treasury have to do with the expression of political opinions is one which should unsettle most Americans.  See comments sections of SDR’s and the New Bretton Woods – Part Nine.

There is very little information or attention given to this proposed IRS rule change, which I find surprising considering the volume of web based political dissent taking place right now against the US government.  Perhaps some sites are not what they profess to be.  I will leave this area for others to research as I’m more focused on the IMF Reforms and the coming changes to the world financial system.

Once the IMF 2010 Code of Reforms are passed we will hear very little of it in the media, if any.  The shift or de-pegging of the worlds currencies and commodities from the US dollar and to the Special Drawing Right of the International Monetary Fund will be well hidden within the “solutions” to the sovereign debt crisis in the world.

The television will bombard us with opinions and pointless debate on how the governments of the world have  been irresponsible with debt creation.  Not once will they explain how debt creation actually works and how capital is injected into the economy.

A pattern I see unfolding over the coming years is one where an opinion of flawed governments is pushed upon the masses and the importance or economic genius of central banks is peppered about like so much other idiotic office banter.

Governments will be blamed for the sovereign debt and currency crisis and central banks will be kindly referred to as the solution providers.  Watch for the social status of central bank leaders to increase across all media forms.

Challenges_for_central_banks_wider_powers_greater_restraints

The so called crisis in the Ukraine is a perfect example of the Hegelian Dialectic Triad of problem/reaction/solution which we have been discussing on this site.  What we are beginning to see is a multi-level micro and macro Hegelian approach to implement the new multilateral financial system.  We will shortly move to the next crisis and solution.  Watch for the trend of sameness in the solutions.  It will always be further centralization of the system at the macro level.

Interestingly enough, we will also begin to see more of the decentralization at the local micro level.  This will ensure a balance of both macro and micro levels of the emerging system.  The attempt is to restrict or self-limit the wealth transfer activities of the rent seeking elite.  I would suggest readers have a good understanding of the previous articles on this site in order to fully grasp the complexity of what we are stating here.

This balance between micro and macro to restrict corruption will most likely only be temporary as a “corruption of the process” is a natural component of the human condition.

As with any new system, there is an algorithm or code which makes up its invisible structure.  As perfect as we make these codes, they also eventually corrupt.

The new multilateral financial system and its SDR pegging component most have one of the most incredible algorithmic codes ever written.  It most have taken years and countless minds to structure its intricacy and complexity.  This we can reason as a logical extension or required skeleton of any new financial system.

Think back on last year and all the stock market system faults and glitches.  Think of the length of time it would take to install this algorithm onto specific servers and run real time tests to ensure functionality.  Think of how all the stock markets are being purchased by ICE.  Think further consolidation and centralization.

As we are obviously getting closer to the implementation of this multilateral system, I would question the significance and coincidence of 20 employees of the company Freescale Semiconductor being on the Malaysian Airlines flight that is now missing.

Additionally, most, if not all of the banker “suicides” which have been taking place over the last few months have involved individuals who were directly involved in IT departments or other algorithmic points of contact within their respective banks.

My intention is not to promote conspiracy theories or distract away from the main theme of this site, but only to draw attention to a very interesting side piece to the implementation of this emerging multilateral system.  Life has taught me that coincidences are usually anything but that.

As always, lets keep our eyes in the 2010 Code of Reforms.

Karen Hudes: Whistle-Blower Or Deceiver?

 

March 11, 2014 in News by RBN

Introduction:

With the enormous growth of the world Internet, many eminent people nowadays deliberately try to hide much of their biographical, business, family and relationship details from others, because if many of these secret details, especially if they contradict the image the person publicly represents , were accessible  by the public much of this information could portray them in an entirely different light. Karen Hudes is one of these such people.

Initially, I had great difficulty in finding out much about her other than the extremely sparse detail she has publicly volunteered to reveal about herself. Unfortunately, to succeed in pulling the wool over everybody’s eyes for an extended period you either have to be a great liar or have to be extremely meticulous in what you do. As a lawyer, and as we know all lawyers are simply highly paid liars, Mrs Hudes misses out on that one. And as far as being meticulous, she falls short on that one two.  It was hard work, but how I initially found out much more about her and her husband was through property transaction records, home sales and real estate listings in Washington D.C. posted on the Internet. It was through these records that I found out her husband’s real name which is different to her own! These property transaction records with a Google-earth view of her and her husband’s home at 5203 Falmouth Road, Westmorelan Hills, Bethesda, MD, an upmarket suburb out of Washington DC, can be viewed here: http://dc.blockshopper.com/property/7-048-00546615/5214_falmouth_road/  These records show the property was purchased by; Karen Hudes (Revocable Trust) and Barry Alexander Spergel (Trustee) and Barry Alexander Spergel (Revocable Trust) and Karen Hudes Spergel (Trustee) on June 3, 2010. From these details revealing her and her husband’s true name a whole new picture was created.

The Facts:

Here are some of Karen Hudes’s YouTube video clips:

http://republicbroadcasting.org/karen-hudes-whistle-blower-or-deceiver/

Both Karen and her husband are Marxist  Jews. They have a daughter, Elizabeth (about age 21). Karen is very careful never to reveal anything about her Ashkenazi Jewish background, family, private interests. Karen worked for the World Bank, controlled by Jews, as a senior lawyer for many years and her husband has also worked for the World Bank as well. So how come, all of a sudden, she leaves the World Bank to become a “whistle-blower” exposing corruption at the the World Bank, IMF, Federal Reserve, US Justice system and US government? – attacking her own  fellow Jews? – it simply doesn’t make sense does it?  The real truth is she is a Jewish ‘disinformation agent’ or ambassador of the bankers themselves working for the British. What she is saying is briefly this: “I am here to forewarn you all that the old, out-dated, corrupt, Bretton Woods banking system has had its day, and is about to be replaced with a new world order financial system and World Currency Unit.” It is really as simple as that.

Barry Spergel, her husband, was born on 23 May, 1952, and is an Environment Financing Consultant and international lawyer with his office at home. Amongst his many positions, he has helped design environmental funds in more than 25 countries, including drafting up legal documents, operations manuals, grant-making procedures, investment policies, and fundraising strategies. HE has also negotiated Debt-for-Nature swaps for the World Bank.  He has written global forestry laws and environmental protection laws; and designed new environmental taxes and user fees (user fees which will soon be introduced all around the world for the public to access their own privatized, UN-controlled national parks!!!!) and PES and REDD. He has also helped design and evaluate many projects for GEF, the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), KFW, AFD, USAID, WWF, CI, TNC, IUCN etc.

Barry Spergel attended Yale Law School 1975-1978, which Karen Hudes also attended, and it is presumed that is where they first met and subsequently he became Karen’s husband. Karen was born in 1948.

Barry Spergel was Senior Legal Counsel and Director for Conservation Finance at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) USA based at 1250 24th Street, NW Washington, DC, from 1989 to 2003, a very long time! The WWF was founded on 29 April 1961 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, with five others including Julian Huxley and Godfrey A. Rockefeller (all eugenicists). Today the WWF is based in Switzerland, has HRH The duke of Edinburgh as its president Emeritus, has revenues of over 525 million euros, has over 5 million supporters worldwide, is the world’s largest conservation organization, and derives approximately 57% of its funding from individuals and bequests, 17% from the World Bank, DFID, and USAID, and 11% from corporations. Karen Hudes, his wife, interestingly,  was a Senior Legal Counsel at the World Bank. Both the  WWF (USA) and World Bank work together, and indirectly are controlled by City of London Jews with the British Monarchy at the head.

Mr. Spergel has worked with Michael Rothschild of the Walton Family Foundation on the Forever Costa Rica Project, the first such program in a developing country to permanently meet the UN Global Protected-Area Goals. He is involved with the 2013-2017 Mediterranean MPA Network Strategy to introduce UN-mandated Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean. http://www.medmpaforum2012.org/en/partenaires  He has developed the Practice Standards for Conservation Trust Funds for the Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA) http://conservationfinance.org/news.php?id=185

Above all,Barry Spergel has personally written the UN/World Bank/IMF global plan for global ‘Conservation Finance’ called Limitations and Opportunities for financing protected areas all around the world – through World Bank/IMF bilateral debt reduction for biodiversity conservation swaps, debt-for-nature swaps, introducing new property tax surcharges to pay for conservation land acquisition, greatly increasing visitor fees to conservation areas etc. This involves massively increasing the current global spending of $6 billion per year to $45 billion per year. You can read his presentation about his plans here: http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/Saxaphone-8300-ESSD-Roundtable-G-Finance-II-Barry-Spergel-PPT-CONSERVATION-FINANCE-Global-Cost-Biodiversity-Conservation-Macroeconomic-Solution-3-Approach-ppt-powerpoint/

We remember, in 1987, at the 4th World Wilderness Congress held  in Denver Colorado, (the now late) Edmund de Rothschild set up the World Conservation Bank. The outstanding author and speaker, George W. Hunt (some of his video material is still on Youtube), who attended the Congress, later explained how it (or an equivalent organization to it in the future) was to be used as the final decoupling mechanism to take over the entire assets of the collapsed banks of the world during a global crisis, by providing a new world financial system and global currency called the “world conservation earth dollar” (or something like it) issued against the collateral of 34% of the entire earth’s surface that has been transferred into UN Conservation Parks and Biodiversity zones. Our own country here in New Zealand has long been completed.

Its all a very clever, ingenius, evil, cunning, Marxist, British Socialist plot to take over the world, and I regret to say, both Karen Hudes and Barry Spergel are, right now, a very nasty and integral part of it.

Russian-Ukrainian news site describes transfer of Ukrainian gold to U.S.

 

By: Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer, GATA

— Posted Tuesday, 11 March  2014 

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The Russian-language and pro-Russian Internet news organization, Iskra (“Spark”) News in Zaporozhye, eastern Ukraine, which perhaps has taken its name from the early socialist newspaper founded by Lenin —

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskra

— reported Friday that Ukraine’s gold reserves had been hasily airlifted to the United States from Borispol Airport just east of Kiev.

A Google-assisted translation is appended.

GATA tonight asked the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the U.S. State Department to disclose whether the United States has taken custody of Ukraine’s gold reserves. A publicist for the New York Fed immediately acknowledged the inquiry and said he would look into the issue right away. We’ll keep you posted.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.

From Iskra News Zaporozhye, Ukraine Friday, March 7, 2014

http://iskra-news.info/news/segodnja_nochju_iz_borispolja_v_ssha_strarto…

At 2 a.m. this morning an unmarked transport plane was on the runway at Borispol Airport. According to airport staff, before the plane came to the airport, four trucks and two Volkswagen minibuses arrived, all the truck license plates missing.

Fifteen people in black uniforms, masks, and body armor stepped out, some armed with machine guns. They loaded the plane with more than 40 heavy boxes.

After that a mysterious men arrived and entered the plane.

All loading was done in a hurry.

The plane took off on an emergency basis.

Those who saw this mysterious special operation immediately notified the airport officials, who told the callers not to meddle in other people’s affairs.

Later a returned call from a senior official of the former Ministry of Income and Fees reported that tonight, on the orders of one of the new leaders of Ukraine, the United States had taken custody of all the gold reserves in Ukraine.

 Kaye:  “That’s a good point, Eric.  The United States installed a former banker in Ukraine who is very friendly to the West.  He is also a guy with central bank experience.  This would have been his first major decision to transport that gold out of Ukraine to the United States.

A little clarity for the “subject”

 

Occasnl Trvlr says:

“Level Playing Field” & “Debt Jubilee”

Considering the temporal realm, what does “wealth” consist of?  For anyone answering something like “lots of cash,” or “money in the bank,” thanks for playing, and you get no consolation prize.  I doubt that very few, if any, readers of WHA’s blog would have given such an answer;  we see through the false promises of fiat currency.

Gold, silver, energy (oil and gas), farmland, real estate, water rights, mineral ores, machinery, patents;  these are better measures of, and stores of, actual (temporal) wealth.

Let’s look at gold as an example.  (I’m going to play a little fast and loose with the numbers, but they’ll be close enough to make the point.)  The amount of gold known to have come from the Earth is somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000 tonnes.  So let’s start with that, throw in the 170,500 tonnes that Karen Hudes talks about, and then just for fun, let’s throw in another 50,000 tonnes.  That would give us a wholly-unprovable, generously-high, world-wide estimate of a total of 370,500 tonnes.

Now, let’s level the playing field.  Given the estimate of some 7.2 billion of us on Earth, we each end up with about 1 and 2/3′s troy ounces of gold.  I would be delighted to receive 1 and 2/3′s ounces of gold;  it is nothing to sneeze at.  But I daresay, I don’t see that as a life-changing windfall for most people living in the developed economies.

The same is true of any measure of actual wealth or value:  all of it (including generous estimates of any hidden wealth), spread out throughout a truly level playing-field, doesn’t add up to a life-changing windfall for anyone except the world’s desperately poor.  And, remember, for such a theoretical exercise as I did above, the assets aren’t added to what each person already owns;  everyone who owns anything loses everything first, so that everything can be evenly redistributed.

Want to go a step further, and disannul all debts through a debt jubilee?  Keep in mind, in this cursed fiat-currency world we live in, every unit of currency that is anyone’s asset is someone else’s liability.  Any “money” anyone has saved in a pension, IRA, bank account, savings for education, or stuffed in the mattress, instantly becomes worthless.  It’s axiomatic, currency cannot exist without debt:  relieving everyone of their debt would dissolve the underlying obligation behind every existing unit of currency.

Thinking that a “level playing field” or a “debt jubilee” is in order?  Everyone should be fully aware of what they are hoping for.

Thank you, WHA, for the blog!

JPMorgan whistleblower gets $63.9 million in mortgage fraud deal

 

Finally, A whistle blower who lived to tell about it.

By Jonathan Stempel

Fri Mar 7, 2014 3:48pm EST

(Reuters) – A whistleblower will be paid $63.9 million for providing tips that led to JPMorgan Chase & Co’s agreement to pay $614 million and tighten oversight to resolve charges that it defrauded the government into insuring flawed home loans.

The payment to the whistleblower, Keith Edwards, was disclosed on Friday in a filing with the U.S. district court in Manhattan that formally ended the case.

In the February 4 settlement, JPMorgan admitted that for more than a decade it submitted thousands of mortgages for insurance by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs that did not qualify for government guarantees.

JPMorgan also admitted that it had failed to tell the agencies that its own internal reviews had turned up problems.

The government said it ultimately had to cover millions of dollars of losses after some of the bank’s loans went sour, resulting in evictions and foreclosures nationwide.

“There were a lot of bad loans made during the financial boom, and the United States taxpayer was left holding the bag through the VA and FHA loan programs,” Edwards’ lawyer, David Wasinger, said in a phone interview. “Hopefully the settlement sends a message to Wall Street that this conduct is not allowed, and that in the future it will be held accountable.”

Edwards could not immediately be reached for comment.

About $56.5 million of Edwards’ award concerns the FHA portion of the case, and $7.4 million concerns the VA portion.

Wasinger declined to discuss his legal fees.

Edwards, a Louisiana resident, had worked for JPMorgan or its predecessors from 2003 to 2008, and had been an assistant vice president supervising a government insuring unit.

He originally sued in January 2013 under the federal False Claims Act, which lets individuals sue government contractors and suppliers for allegedly defrauding taxpayers. The U.S. Department of Justice later joined as a plaintiff.

Whistleblowers can recover portions of False Claims Act settlements, which often grow if the government gets involved.

Wasinger also represented Edward O’Donnell, whose tips led to an October 2013 jury finding that Bank of America Corp was liable for fraud over defective mortgages sold by its Countrywide unit. The government is seeking $2.1 billion of penalties in that case.

Citigroup Inc, Deutsche Bank AG and Flagstar Bancorp Inc were among lenders that settled False Claims Act mortgage cases in recent years.

The Justice Department in December said it had paid out roughly $1.98 billion of whistleblower awards from 2009 to 2013.

The case is U.S. ex rel. Edwards v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 13-00220.

Markets hold breath as China’s shadow banking grinds to a halt

 

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

By

7:47PM GMT 10 Mar 2014

Fresh loans in China’s shadow banking system evaporated to almost nothing from   $160bn in January

A slew of shockingly weak data from China and Japan has led to a sharp   sell-off in Asian stock markets and the biggest one-day crash in iron ore   prices since the Lehman crisis, calling into question the strength of the   global recovery. 

The Shanghai Composite index of stocks fell below the key level of 2,000 after   investors reacted with shock to an 18pc slump in Chinese exports in February   and to signs that credit is wilting again. Iron ore fell 8.3pc. 

Fresh loans in China’s shadow banking system evaporated to almost nothing from   $160bn in January, suggesting the clampdown on the $8 trillion sector is   biting hard. 

“It seems that rising default risk has started to erode Chinese investors’    confidence,” said Wei Yao, from Societe Generale. “Together with continued   regulatory tightening on banks’ off-balance-sheet activity, we are certain   this slowing credit trend has further to go and will inflict real pain on   the economy.”

Japan’s economy is losing steam as the monetary stimulus from “Abenomics”    wears off and the country braces itself for a rise in the consumption tax   from 5pc to 8pc. Economic growth slumped from 4pc in early 2013 to 0.7pc in   the fourth quarter, while the country racked up a record trade deficit.

The Economy Watchers Survey saw the steepest drop last month since the March   2011 tsunami and is now lower than when Abenomics began. Marcel Thieliant,   from Capital Economics, said Japan faces a “sharp slowdown”. 

The renewed jitters in China come after the authorities allowed solar company   Chaori to default last week, the first ever failure in the country’s   domestic bond market. The episode is a litmus test of President Xi Jinping’s   new regime of market discipline, though the central bank has been careful to   cushion the blow by engineering a fall in interbank interest rates. “Such   adjustments are necessary for China in the long run, but are nothing if not   risky in the short term,” said Ms Wei. 

It is extremely hard to calibrate a soft landing of this kind, and the sheer   scale of China’s credit boom now makes it a global headache. China accounts   for half of all the $30 trillion increase in world debt over the past five   years. 

Zhiwei Zhang, from Nomura, said the central bank will be forced to loosen   monetary policy this year with repeated cuts in the reserve asset ratio to   head off a deeper slowdown. 

Nomura said China’s $23bn trade deficit in February masks capital outflows,   while data was in any case distorted by the Chinese New Year. 

Even so, there are signs that deflationary forces are taking hold in China.   Producer prices (PPI) fell by 2pc in February from a year earlier. Haibin   Zhu, from JP Morgan, said it is “disturbing” the PPI index has been negative   since November, a sign that China is struggling to cope with excess   manufacturing plant. 

China invested $5 trillion last year, as much as the US and Europe combined.   There are already signs that the country is trying to export its   over-capacity overseas by pushing down the yuan. If this amounts to a   competitive devaluation policy, it risks sending a fresh deflationary   impulse across the globe.

Tracking chemtrail flights

 

 

Dear Andy,  

  Here’s a video by someone who has discovered the area on the FAA’s registry website, who was able to find a fleet of aircraft, which are unquestionably and officially dedicated to weather modification, according to the FAA’s own website – and by the name of the operator of the fleet, itself.
You can track these planes which are solely dedicated to the spraying of chemtrails by first googling ‘FAA “N” Numbers.’ When you arrive on that page, which is one of the top results, click on “Name,” on the left hand menu, which, directs you to a page with an empty field.
When you input the words “weather mod”, as the narrator does, it reveals a list of aircraft produced by Cessna, Piper and Lockheed, etc. which appear to all be owned by a corporation called “Weather Modification, Inc.”, with most of these planes either departing from or arriving to Hector International Airport, in Fargo, North Dakota.
Drilling down further, the narrator says that by copying the numbers in the far left column of the FAA page and adding an “N” to the front of the numbers listed and then entering that “N” number to the search field on a separate website called Flightaware.com, on the left, down toward the middle of the page, the field called “Track Flight” (BY TAIL#), you will be directed to the latest trajectory of that particular plane.
I found the most recent flight of the plane he demoed in this video and found only a very prosaic direct flight, 3/4 of the way across the State of North Dakota, with no suspicious, chemtrail-y loops.
So then, I decided to go for the gold and tried to check the trajectory of the Raytheon craft number B200 – but my result on Flightaware.com was: “This aircraft (N840U) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator.”
As for the Lockheed jet listed under Weather Modification, Inc., the result was: “FlightAware couldn’t find flight tracking data for N57496 just yet.”
So I tried once again, with a very lowly Cessna, with the oldest serial number in the fleet. Once again, it showed a very prosaic, direct flight from Hector Airport to Litchfield Airport in Minnesota.
It could be that with the North Pole, now newly- located in that area, there is little need for chemtrailing this week!   In his case, the function of the flight he chose was readily demonstrated by its loopy flight pattern of and by characteristics in their flight itineraries.
Anyway, you can try this for yourselves, now! You might have better luck when the weather warms up.

We Are In FAR Worse Shape Than We Were Just Prior To The Last Great Financial Crisis

 

Source: Michael Snyder, BLN Contributor

Crushed Car By UCFFool
None of the problems that caused the last financial crisis have been fixed.  In fact, they have all gotten worse.  The total amount of debt in the world has grown by more than 40 percent since 2007, the too big to fail banks have gotten 37 percent larger, and the colossal derivatives bubble has spiraled so far out of control that the only thing left to do is to watch the spectacular crash landing that is inevitably coming.  Unfortunately, most people do not know the information that I am about to share with you in this article.  Most people just assume that the politicians and the central banks have fixed the issues that caused the last great financial crisis.  But the truth is that we are in far worse shapethan we were back then.  When this financial bubble finally bursts, the devastation that we will witness is likely to be absolutely catastrophic.

Too Much Debt

One of the biggest financial problems that the world is facing is that there is simply way too much debt.  Never before in world history has there ever been a debt binge anything like this.

You would have thought that we would have learned our lesson from 2008 and would have started to reduce debt levels.

Instead, we pushed the accelerator to the floor.

It is hard to believe that this could possibly be true, but according to the Bank for International Settlements the total amount of debt in the world has increased by more than 40 percent since 2007…

The amount of debt globally has soared more than 40 percent to $100 trillion since the first signs of the financial crisis as governments borrowed to pull their economies out of recession and companies took advantage of record low interest rates, according to the Bank for International Settlements.

The $30 trillion increase from $70 trillion between mid-2007 and mid-2013 compares with a $3.86 trillion decline in the value of equities to $53.8 trillion in the same period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The jump in debt as measured by the Basel, Switzerland-based BIS in its quarterly review is almost twice the U.S.’s gross domestic product.

That is a recipe for utter disaster, and yet we can’t seem to help ourselves.

And of course the U.S. government is the largest offender.

Back in September 2008, the U.S. national debt was sitting at a total of 10.02 trillion dollars.

As I write this, it is now sitting at a total of 17.49 trillion dollars.

Is there anyone out there that can possibly conceive of a way that this ends other than badly?

Too Big To Fail Is Now Bigger Than Ever

During the last great financial crisis we were also told that one of our biggest problems was the fact that we had banks that were “too big to fail”.

Well, guess what?

Those banks are now much larger than they were back then.  In fact, the six largest banks in the United States (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley) have collectively gotten 37 percent larger since the last financial crisis.

Meanwhile, 1,400 smaller banks have gone out of business during that time frame, and only one new bank has been started in the United States in the last three years.

So the problem of “too big to fail” is now much worse than it was back in 2008.

The following are some more statistics about our “too big to fail” problem that come from a previous article

-The U.S. banking system has 14.4 trillion dollars in total assets.  The six largest banks now account for 67 percent of those assets and all of the other banks account for only 33 percent of those assets.

-Approximately 1,400 smaller banks have disappeared over the past five years.

-JPMorgan Chase is roughly the size of the entire British economy.

-The four largest banks have more than a million employees combined.

-The five largest banks account for 42 percent of all loans in the United States.

-Bank of America accounts for about a third of all business loans all by itself.

-Wells Fargo accounts for about one quarter of all mortgage loans all by itself.

-About 12 percent of all cash in the United States is held in the vaults of JPMorgan Chase.

The Derivatives Bubble

Most people simply do not understand that over the past couple of decades Wall Street has been transformed into the largest and wildest casino on the entire planet.

Nobody knows for sure how large the global derivatives bubble is at this point, because derivatives trading is lightly regulated compared to other types of trading.  But everyone agrees that it is absolutely massive.  Estimates range from $600 trillion to $1.5 quadrillion.

And what we do know is that four of the too big to fail banks each have total exposure to derivatives that is in excess of $40 trillion.

The numbers posted below may look similar to numbers that I have included in articles in the past, but for this article I have updated them with the very latest numbers from the U.S. government.  Since the last time that I wrote about this, these numbers have gotten even worse…

JPMorgan Chase

Total Assets: $1,989,875,000,000 (nearly 2 trillion dollars)

Total Exposure To Derivatives: $71,810,058,000,000 (more than 71 trillion dollars)

Citibank

Total Assets: $1,344,751,000,000 (a bit more than 1.3 trillion dollars)

Total Exposure To Derivatives: $62,963,116,000,000 (more than 62 trillion dollars)

Bank Of America

Total Assets: $1,438,859,000,000 (a bit more than 1.4 trillion dollars)

Total Exposure To Derivatives: $41,386,713,000,000 (more than 41 trillion dollars)

Goldman Sachs

Total Assets: $111,117,000,000 (just a shade over 111 billion dollars – yes, you read that correctly)

Total Exposure To Derivatives: $47,467,154,000,000 (more than 47 trillion dollars)

During the coming derivatives crisis, several of those banks could fail simultaneously.

If that happened, it would be an understatement to say that we would be facing an “economic collapse”.

Credit would totally freeze up, nobody would be able to get loans, and economic activity would grind to a standstill.

It is absolutely inexcusable how reckless these big banks have been.

Just look at those numbers for Goldman Sachs again.

Goldman Sachs has total assets worth approximately 111 billion dollars (billion with a little “b”), but they have more than 47 trillion dollars of total exposure to derivatives.

That means that the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 427 times greater than their total assets.

I don’t know why more people aren’t writing about this.

This is utter insanity.

During the next great financial crisis, it is very likely that the rest of the planet is going to lose faith in the current global financial system that is based on the U.S. dollar and on U.S. debt.

When that day arrives, and the U.S. dollar loses reserve currency status, the shift in our standard of living is going to be dramatic.  Just consider what Marin Katusa of Casey Research had to say the other day

It will be shocking for the average American… if the petro dollar dies and the U.S. loses its reserve currency status in the world there will be no middle class.

The middle class and the low class… wow… what a game changer. Your cost of living will quadruple.

The debt-fueled prosperity that we are enjoying now will not last forever.  A day of reckoning is fast approaching, and most Americans will not be able to handle the very difficult adjustments that they will be forced to make.  Here is some more from Marin Katusa…

Imagine this… take a country like Croatia… the average worker with a university degree makes about 1200 Euros a month. He spends a third of that, after tax, on keeping his house warm and filling up his gas tank to get to work and get back from work.

In North America, we don’t make $1200 a month, and we don’t spend a third of our paycheck on keeping our house warm and driving to work… so, the cost of living… food will triple… heat, electricity, everything subsidized by the government will triple overnight… and it will only get worse even if you can get the services.

All of this could have been prevented if we had done things the right way.

Unfortunately, we didn’t learn any of the lessons that we should have learned from the last financial crisis, and our politicians and the central banks have just continued to do the same things that they have always done.

So now we all get to pay the price.

The Shifting Economic Singularity

 

By JC Collins

US Singularity

It appears Russia will not back down on their position in the Ukraine and the end game is fast approaching.  Many of my readers sent the following link yesterday:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/06/us-imf-reforms-idUSBREA251IN20140306

If you haven’t read that article yet I suggest you do.  Its telling us that the G20 countries will implement the IMF 2010 Reforms without the US if Congress doesn’t pass the required legislation by April.

 

“It was agreed that in the absence of progress by the United States on the 2010 package by the April meeting of the IMF and G20, that there will be formulated a list of ‘bad options,’ which will allow to move forward in this matter, excluding the opinions of the United States.”

Congress for its part is attempting to attach the reforms to the Ukrainian aid package which will be put before the Senate next Tuesday.  But if they are waiting for any concessions from Russia before passing it, I don’t think those concessions will be forthcoming.

The United States has found itself in the position where it has no other move but to attempt sanctions which will back fire, escalate military conflict, or accept that the economic reality has shifted away from the dollar reserve status and towards a more centralized and balanced system.

The 2010 Code of Reforms act as the singularity for the economic shift or transition from dollars to SDR’s with sovereign debt restructuring through the International Monetary Fund.

Its understood that America is attempting to secure its interests around the world before willingly agreeing to the dollars status change.  Unfortunately it cannot control all energy hubs and strategic borders without the ability to fund a large military machine with over 800 bases around the world.

Without the ability to print endless  money and export the inevitable inflation, the US will have to constrict the scope of its international ambitions.  In fact, without the reserve currency status, those ambitions will become irrelevant for the most part.

We have continued to state that its either consolidation of sovereign debt and currency reset through a centralized SDR system or collapse of the old system.

Based on the stance of the G20, being pushed no doubt by Russia and China,  the world is ready and prepared to  by-pass the dollar and allow the collapse of the American currency and stock market.

Predictions are being made that 2014 could see a 50% drop in the stock market.  This would obviously be a direct effect of a 50% devaluation of the dollar in the event the IMF Code of Reforms are not implemented.

The pressure on Congress, and White House administration, as well as American banks and industry must be huge.   Its this industry and banking sector which is being represented in Congress by way of delays in implementing the IMF reforms.

The consequences for middle and lower class Americans will be devastating if Congress doesn’t willingly pass the legislation and allow their sovereign debt to be restructured.  The currency will collapse and treasuries will be dumped.  The US will default as the QE policy of monetizing their own debt will inevitably fail as the dollar loses its reserve currency status and decades of exported inflation floods back to American shores.

The game behind the scenes is playing out very quietly in spite of the distraction taking place on the large stage.  The US cannot have it be known that they willingly signed off on what will mean a reduced influence and power structure for the dollar.  Military positioning is likely for show only as the sun sets on American economic and military control.  Just like it did on the British over 70 years ago.

aircraft-carrier-sunset-us-navy

The next week will show that support for the US over the Ukrainian “crisis” is weak or non-existent. We know this because the G20 has already announced their intentions to implement the IMF reforms with or without American agreement.

As such, there is no support for the US.  There will be no big coalition or integrated sanctions program enacted against Russia.  There will only be the US becoming more and more isolated as the end game plays out and we move from March into April.  There is no escape from the gravitational force which is pulling the world towards a more centralized and multilateral financial system.

From the Reuters link:

“A third source would not confirm it was Russia that brought up the issue, but said the G20 generally agreed to give the United States until the April meetings of the IMF and World Bank before taking more aggressive measures, a point confirmed by one of the other sources. All three sources spoke on condition of anonymity.” 

The common denominator to all that is happening is the IMF 2010 Code of Reforms.  The G20 is using wording such as “bad options” and “aggressive measures” to implement the reforms in the event the US fails once again to pass the required legislation.

What these “bad options” and “aggressive measures” entail can only be guessed at.  But its not hard to imagine it would include a process by which devaluation buffer substitution accounts will not be used as Russia and China begin to unload US treasuries directly onto the market.

In the interest of clarity, the 2010 Reforms are adjustments to quotas for each country.  It will level decision making power on the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund.  The lost of reserve currency status for the dollar is a direct consequence of this process.

Things continue to move fast but we need to keep our eyes on the 2010 reforms.  All countries involved want the reforms implemented.  Its only how they are implemented and who retains or gains control of strategic regions that has yet to be finalized.

Once the reforms are implemented, willingly or unwillingly, the real action will begin as commodities and currencies begin to shift from dollars to SDR’s.  If there is a peaceful transition, which I still contend there will be, this transition will be orderly with the media hyping the sovereign debt crisis and turmoil of the currency markets.  This will ensure the slight of hand continues.  Lets not forget the Hegelian Dialectic.  The engineered singularity approaches.

Sandy Hook Gun Grab Scandal Breaks Wide Open Under New Investigation

Added 2/26/2014:  BREAKING: Social Security Records Show No Deaths in Alleged Sandy Hook Massacre.  Manual search of the Social Security Death master file lists reveals no deaths and no victims in the alleged Sandy Hook murders  *** Continue

By Harold Saive and Wolfgang Halbig – 2/25/2014

 

NRA Refuses to Investigate Sandy Hook<img style=”border: 1px solid black; margin: 1px 3px;” alt=”NRA Refuses to Investigate Sandy Hook” src=”http://chemtrailsplanet.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/nra-refuses-to-investigate-sandy-hook.jpg?w=499″ width=”217″ height=”280″ />Just this morning, I received a call from the National Rifle Assocition (NRA) asking for my support to protect assaults on the second amendment of the US Constitution.

Aware that my remarks were recorded for “quality control”, I responded that my willingness to donate is based on the NRA’s tangible support of Wolfgang Halbig in his quest to demand justice in the coverup of the alleged Sandy Hook shooting.

I continued:

“With all the evidence available, we need to know why the NRA decided to cave on their duty to actively challenge the government’s story through demanding a prompt investigation of dubious events. It should be no secret to the NRA that the alleged Sandy Hook massacre is being used as a pretext to federal gun-grab legislation. Failure to protect their membership and the American people on this probable contrived event is a betrayal to those members who pay dues and rely on the NRA to protect the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.”

Corporate media and their army of pseudo-journalists began selling the public on the tragedy of the mass shooting committed by yet, another lone gunman – this time at Sandy Hook elementary school on Dec 14, 2012.

But as time goes by, inconsistencies including numerous instances of foreknowledge continue to create a mountain of doubt. Growing public skepticism combined with earned trust by non-corporate, alternative media is the most likely reason the FBI has now “classified” evidence in the shooting. The act of classifying evidence is designed to provide a fire-wall of secrecy and FOIA denials to effectively “cover-up” incriminating details that could send many officials to jail.

The answer to one important question is now subject to cover-up by virtue of being “classified”:

What are the names of the police who pronounced the children dead at the scene before licensed physicians and personnel, authorized to make such decisions, had a chance to examine the victims?”

A New Investigator, Wolfgang Halbig is determined to break the silence on the Sandy Hook Coverup.

His credentials and involvement in school tragedies qualifies him to help lead us to the truth.

  • Law enforcement: Florida State Trooper, US Customs Agent.
  • Education: teacher, assistant principal, principal.
  • Current school safety expert. Trained key personnel at over 4,000 US school districts, and over 3,500 school safety officers.

Halbig’s conclusion after ten months of motivated investigation:

“In my professional opinion, Sandy Hook was a scripted event… in planning for maybe two, two and a half years.”

The case for exposing the critical irregularities around the events of the alleged Sandy Hook shooting massacre are gaining national attention.

Citing no authority, they threatened him with criminal charges out of Connecticut if he didn’t stop “harassing” public officials with repeated phone calls and FOIA requests.

Halbig is demanding subpeona and/or arrest of leaders involved in Sandy Hook based on questions that reveal serious transgressions of procedure, ethics and law.

His FACEBOOK PAGE is a platform for pubic exchange with more questions raised every day.

Halbig: I must share with you that I pray to God everyday for the sake of my grandchildren that I am wrong about the Sandy Hook School Shooting Massacre on Dec 14, 2012.

But when you have two plain cloth Homicide Detectives show up at my home and threatend me by telling me that the CT State Police will have me arrested if I do not stop asking questions about the Sandy Hook Shooting it changed everything for me and my family.

Once we get the truth about just the first 16 questions I will go away and live out my retirement in peace.

They started it. As they say let the game begin.

Feb 25, 2014 – Good morning everyone and now lets look at two more huge questions that hopefully someone helping to solve this puzzle might have. If you do please let me and all of us know. You must stay focused on the 16 questions not 911 or Boston that is what they the government is counting on. They want this country to be fragmented because if they can keep us divided then they control us.

Sandy Hook Justice Puzzle – 16 simple questions ever changing that MUST require an answer.

Please stay focused on the first 16 questions then we go to the next ten questions and then we go to the videos and police reports.

1. Who directed the New Haven FBI field offices to classify the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting on Dec 14, 2012?

2. Why and for what reason would the FBI classify the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting when they did not classify the Columbine shooting which also was a Mass casualty shooting incident?

3. Who on Dec 14, 2012 was the Incident Commander as required by the Federal Emergency Management Administration in directing the Mass Casualty Shooting Incident at the Sandy Hook Elementary School?

• Who on Dec 14, 2012 at the Incident Command Center made the ordering of Porta Potties a high priority since they were delivered within 3 hours of the school shooting? Never ever heard off. • Who ordered those Port Potties from Southbury, Ct? • When I called the Porta Pottie Company after searching for over a week as to who and when they were ordered I was told that it is classified and they are not allowed to share that information with me. • The next morning I received a phone call from the Southbury Police Department at my home telling me not to call that company again since I was harassing them. • High priority for toilets but not for Life Star Trauma helicopters or paramedics.

4. Who and Why did they not request the Life Star Helicopters knowing that children and school staff are seriously injured and clinging to life?

5. Who and Why did they not allow the Paramedics and the EMT’S inside the Sandy Hook School to treat the seriously injured or those children and school staff clinging to life?

6. Who declared all 18 children and six school staff members legally dead within the first 8 minutes?

The school had high levels of lead paint throughout the entire school, Asbestos in the ceiling time and floor tile, asbestos in the insulation and most of all the school had very high levels of PCB?

10. Who provided the urgent medical care to the two children who were not transported to the Danbury Trauma Center until an hour after the school was deemed safe for that 15-mile drive?

11. Who treated those two children who had been shot multiple times like three to 11 times since they did not allow the paramedics and EMT’S inside the Sandy Hook Elementary School?

12. Why did the parents of the two children who died at the Danbury hospital not allow their children to donate their organs to other children waiting for the gift of life?

13. What happened to the 500 children and 60 school staff members from Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec 14, 2012?

14. Who was the police officer calling into the Newtown Police dispatcher stating in his words that he has multiple weapons, he has a rifle and a shotgun and who has the rifle and the shotgun as the chain of evidence should show that was found in classroom eight (8)?

15. Why would a police officer by the name of Lt Vangehle at 9:45:21 am on Dec 14, 2012 from the Newtown Police Department after finding a kindergarten female child in the hallway make her go into room eight (8) and leave her? Room eight is a gruesome crime scene with dead children and school staff. Why?

16. Why would two CT State Troopers enter room ten (10) at 9:55:31 am on Dec 14, 2012 which is a gruesome crime scene with dead bodies of children and school staff and tell a kindergarten boy who they find in the bathroom who’s name is redacted and tell them so it must be more than one to stay and they will be both back when it is safe?

Please all focus on those 16 questions then we will move to the next ten questions.

Thanks, Wolfgang

20 Facts About The Great U.S. Retail Apocalypse That Will Blow Your Mind

By Michael Snyder, on March 9th, 2014

If the U.S. economy is getting better, then why are major retail chains closing thousands of stores?  If we truly are in an “economic recovery”, then why do sales figures continue to go down for large retailers all over the country?  Without a doubt, the rise of Internet retailing giants such as Amazon.com have had a huge impact.  Today, there are millions of Americans that actually prefer to shop online.  Personally, when I published my novel I made it solely available on Amazon.  But Internet shopping alone does not account for the great retail apocalypse that we are witnessing.  In fact, some retail experts estimate that the Internet has accounted for only about 20 percent of the decline that we are seeing.  Most of the rest of it can be accounted for by the slow, steady death of the middle class U.S. consumer.  Median household income has declined for five years in a row, but all of our bills just keep going up.  That means that the amount of disposable income that average Americans have continues to shrink, and that is really bad news for retailers.

And sadly, this is just the beginning.  Retail experts are projecting that the pace of store closings will actually accelerate over the course of the next decade.

So as you read this list below, please take note that things will soon get even worse.

The following are 20 facts about the great U.S. retail apocalypse that will blow your mind…

#1 As you read this article, approximately a billion square feet of retail space is sitting vacant in the United States.

#2 Last week, Radio Shack announced that it was going to close more than a thousand stores.

#3 Last week, Staples announced that it was going to close 225 stores.

#4 Same-store sales at Office Depot have declined for 13 quarters in a row.

#5 J.C. Penney has been dying for years, and it recently announced plans to close 33 more stores.

#6 J.C. Penney lost 586 million dollars during the second quarter of 2013 alone.

#7 Sears has closed about 300 stores since 2010, and CNN is reporting that Sears is “expected to shutter another 500 Sears and Kmart locations soon”.

#8 Overall, sales numbers have declined at Sears for 27 quarters in a row.

#9 Target has announced that it is going to eliminate 475 jobs and not fill 700 positions that are currently empty.

#10 It is being projected that Aéropostale will close about 175 stores over the next couple of years.

#11 Macy’s has announced that it is going to be closing five stores and eliminating 2,500 jobs.

#12 The Children’s Place has announced that it will be closing down 125 of its “weakest” stores by 2016.

#13 Best Buy recently shut down about 50 stores up in Canada.

#14 Video rental giant Blockbuster has completely shut down all of their stores.

#15 It is being projected that sales at U.S. supermarkets will decline by 1.7 percent this year even as the overall population continues to grow.

#16 McDonald’s has reported that sales at established U.S. locations were down 3.3 percent in January.

#17 A home appliance chain known as “American TV” in the Midwest is going to be shutting down all 11 stores.

#18 Even Wal-Mart is struggling right now.  Just check out what one very prominent Wal-Mart executive recently admitted

David Cheesewright, CEO of Walmart International was speaking at the same presentation, and he pointed out that Walmart would try to protect its market share in the US – where the company had just issued an earnings warning. But most of the growth would have to come from its units outside the US. I mean, via these share buybacks?

Alas, outside the US too, economies were limping along at best, and consumers were struggling and the operating environment was tough. “We’re seeing economies under stress pretty much everywhere we operate,” Cheesewright admitted.

#19 In a recent CNBC article entitled “Time to close Wal-Mart stores? Analysts think so“, it was recommended that Wal-Mart should close approximately 100 “underperforming” supercenters in rural locations across America.

#20 Retail consultant Howard Davidowitz is projecting that up to half of all shopping malls in America may shut down within the next 15 to 20 years

Within 15 to 20 years, retail consultant Howard Davidowitz expects as many as half of America’s shopping malls to fail. He predicts that only upscale shopping centers with anchors like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus will survive.

So is there any hope that things will turn around?

Well, if the U.S. economy started producing large numbers of good paying middle class jobs there would definitely be cause for optimism.

Unfortunately, that is just not happening.

On Friday, we were told that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs during the month of February.

That sounds pretty good until you realize that it takes almost that many jobs each month just to keep up with population growth.

And according to CNS News, the number of unemployed Americans actually grew faster than the number of employed Americans in February…

The number of unemployed individuals 16 years and over increased by 223,000 in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

In February, there were 10,459,000 unemployed individuals age 16 and over, which was up 223,000 from January, when there were 10,236,000 unemployed individuals.

Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate continues to sit at a 35 year low, and a staggering 70 percent of all Americans not in the labor force are below the age of 55.

That is outrageous.

And things look particularly depressing when you look at the labor force participation rate for men by themselves.

In 1950, the labor force participation rate for men was sitting at about 87 percent.  Today, it has dropped beneath 70 percent to a brand new all-time record low.

The truth is that there simply are not enough jobs for everyone anymore.

The chart posted below shows how the percentage of working age Americans that actually have a job has changed since the turn of the millennium.  As you can see, the employment-population ratio declined precipitously during the last recession, and it has stayed below 59 percent since late 2009…

Employment Population Ratio 2014

If we were going to have a “recovery”, we should have had one by now.

Since there are not enough jobs, what is happening is that more highly educated workers are taking the jobs that were once occupied by less educated workers and bumping them out of the labor force entirely.  The following is an excerpt from a recent Bloomberg article

Recent college graduates are ending up in more low-wage and part-time positions as it’s become harder to find education-level appropriate jobs, according to a January study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The share of Americans ages 22 to 27 with at least a bachelor’s degree in jobs that don’t require that level of education was 44 percent in 2012, up from 34 percent in 2001, the study found.

Due to the fact that there are not enough middle class jobs to go around, the middle class has been steadily shrinking.

In 2008, 53 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be “middle class”.  Today, only 44 percent of all Americans consider themselves to be “middle class”.

That is a pretty significant shift in just six years, don’t you think?

For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled “28 Signs That The Middle Class Is Heading Toward Extinction“.

Despite what the politicians and the mainstream media are telling you, the truth is that something is fundamentally wrong with our economy.

On a gut level, most people realize this.

According to one recent survey, only 35 percent of all Americans say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago.  And according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, only 28 percent of all Americans believe that this country is moving in the right direction.

The frightening thing is that this is about as good as things are going to get.  The next great wave of the economic collapse is approaching, and when it strikes the plight of the middle class is going to get a whole lot worse.
