Financial Warfare

Geithner seems to abhor austerity and sacrifice, preferring any strategy which keeps debt growing to fund the investment banking, security, prisons and war industries on which the American economy now depends for so much of its GDP.

Libya - JPMorgan & Tony Blair

'Tis a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. This whole Libyan invasion was imperialism from the start, to get 'our' hands on their oil, water, and gold. The Western press has shown how powerful propaganda can be, and the majority of people believe the MSM lies. Meanwhile, Libyans are dying trying to defend their country from outside aggression.

Surprisingly, however, some snippets of truth come out, and here is one of them. Blair is a war criminal, and hopefully will be tried as one along with George Bush, when all of this is over. Whilst we're waiting, however, I recommend listening to Webster Tarpley, Cynthia McKinney and other non-affiliated journalists on the ground in Tripoli - they will tell you the truth:

China & The Global Debt Crisis

Debt Forgiveness by Max Keiser

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in what's happening in the financial world. Max and Stacey, although rather unorthodox, know their material, and they make it very clear in this video what is going on. It reminds me of the book 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman', where the author lays out for everyone to read, how this grand theft is orchestrated by the banks. Here Max and his guest Zeus explain in very clear terms how this happens, with debt and paying the interest on it:

Dmitri Orlov - Reinventing Collapse

I'm increasingly orienting this blog towards people who understand the end of the infinite growth paradigm, so here is a recommendation by a journalist for a book which will help steer you through the coming crisis:

http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-shirt-no-shoes-no-problem.html

I've been reading Dmitri's posts for many years now, and as he said so many years ago, the collapse of the USA will be worse than the collapse of the USSR, mainly because the people of the ex-Soviet Union knew better how to look after themselves. Present-day Americans are for the most part dependent on their unsustainable system. Oops!

In this week's show, Michael talks to the Zeitgeist Movement's mentor, Peter Joseph. Love 'em or hate 'em, you shouldn't ignore them, as both people have a lot of interesting, thought-provoking things to say:

Here, here! Death to the infinite-growth paradigm!

Webster Tarpley

His advice: drop the derivatives. Seems like very good advice to me, especially as he points out the obvious: the bail-outs are bail-outs for the banks, not for the Greeks. I highly recommend listening to Webster every week, for a dose of the truth, history, solutions and clear thinking:

Benjamin Fulford's Latest

This guy is considered a loon by some, a genius by others:

by Reena on September 6, 2011 · 7 comments

~~ Start ~~

The criminal cabal that has seized power in the G5 countries has reacted with new threats of mass terror to the concerted efforts by the nations and people of the world to remove them from power.

The latest threat, made by phone to a White Dragon Society member by some people who hid their identity, was that San Francisco and Damascus would be made “uninhabitable.” In reaction to this, a source contacted the White Dragon Society and promised that the entire extended families of any ruling bloodline found to be participating in genocide would be hunted down and exterminated down to the last individual. The source was not affiliated with the White Dragon Society but, they made it clear they that this threat was to be taken “very seriously.”

The repercussions of the secret late August meeting of financial representatives from 57 nations, meanwhile, continued to be felt last week. The criminal cabal that controls the Federal Reserve Board was engaged in a futile witch hunt trying to find who the participants were and what was discussed at the meeting. They are unlikely to find out much more than has been reported in this newsletter. That is to say White Dragon allies in the pentagon and US and world police agencies have access to the codes for the global collateral accounts. If necessary they will reveal who has accessed the world’s monetary assets for the past 60 years and what they spent that money on.

However, they would rather concentrate on the future and are still open to deals and compromises so long as the bottom line is that a major campaign to end poverty, end war and stop environmental destruction is agreed to. The window of opportunity is fast closing now, and the guiltiest cabal members are probably now certain to face prison time or worse.

There is also a need here to make a correction from last week’s report. It turns out that a representative from Canada (this writer’s native land) was present at the 57-member Monaco meeting. He said Canada is a small country (in terms of population) that has to pretend to go along with whoever is formally in power in the G5 but that the Canadian power structure was full of White Dragon sympathizers.

There has also been more confirmation from CIA and pentagon sources that there was indeed an attack on two major underground facilities controlled by the cabal in the US. The food, gold and weapons depot the cabal had near Washington D.C. was destroyed in an atomic blast, these sources now confirm. The nature of the second attack remains uncertain but two sources say it was the cabal’s underground facilities near Denver, Colorado that were destroyed. The people behind this attack have detailed maps of the US underground base and tunnel network and have promised more attacks if necessary to prevent the planned murder of 85% of humanity.

There are plenty of signs for all to see now that the criminal cabal that controls the G5 countries is on the ropes.

In the US, of course the 10th anniversary of the 911 terror attacks is coming and the perpetrators of this attack know that the world’s governments, military forces and intelligentsia know that it was a high level cabal in the G5 governments that was behind the attack. The perpetrators are now certain to face justice within a year. There is a critical mass of officials within the US military and law-enforcement community that is preparing for a legal takedown of the criminal cabal behind both the 911 attacks and the Kennedy assassination and much more.

In Europe, the signs of imminent collapse of financial control are also becoming impossible to hide. It has got to the point where even Deutschebank CEO Josef Ackerman is saying that many major European banks would become insolvent if they had to mark their sovereign debt to market. In plain English that means they are already bankrupt and are cooking their books. The situation will only get worse over the coming weeks.

In Japan, as well, there is serious intrigue going on under the surface. At present hoodlums associated with the Ministry of Finance are threatening officials of the Bank of Japan and trying to force them to resign. The fight is over which faction in the US battle for power is going to be on the receiving end of the steady supply of yen that is keeping the US economy from imploding. The BOJ is now affiliated with the White Dragon Society and wants the money to flow to white hats within the pentagon.

Recently deposed Prime Minister Naoto Kan as well as senior BOJ and MOF officials all called a White Dragon Society member about this conflict on Monday. The situation may have to be resolved through open gang warfare and a purge of all senior Federal Reserve Board agents from the Japanese power structure.

The cabal is obviously not going to take this sitting down. Their next big geopolitical move, according to CIA and pentagon sources, appears to be to try to provoke a war between Turkey and Israel. This is their latest attempt at a hail Mary pass to get them out of their predicament by starting WW3.

Unfortunately for them, the Israeli people are waking up to the fact they are being used by a criminal cabal. The demonstration of 450,000 people, about 25% of the population, was a clear sign of this.

To put that in perspective, it would be as if 75 million Americans turned out to demonstrate against their government. The complaints of the demonstrators for focused mainly on social justice which, at the end of the day, is what all the complaints against the ruling cabal are centered on.

It is unlikely either the Israelis or the Turks will allow themselves to be manipulated into war. Nor will people in other countries. The people of the planet earth want peace.

Zimbabwe

There are some fantastic bloggers out there - I salute you! Here is a comment on the Max Kziser website, explaining exactly what has happened to Zimbabwe. And guess who is bleeding the country dry? The Investment Banks, of course:

January 17, 2009
Hyperinflation and Zimbabwe – Myth, Misinformation and the “Expert”

The True Cause of Zimbabwe’s Hyperinflation
Austrians say the problem is too much paper. Keynesians say the government should spend more. Neither camp has a solid grasp on the effects of interest and both groups are in denial, when it comes to fully understanding debt.

In fact, in macroeconomic terms, you can hardly find a model that illustrates this: the money needed to pay interest is never created inside the system and that principal is extinguished from circulation when a payment of principal is made.

The more you learn about how it really works, who the “experts” are following, why they are following the wrong explanation, how old that theory is and who benefits from its propagation, the easier it is to realize why they can’t figure it out.

NEWS FLASH: Hyperinflation is not caused by paper money. It is not caused by too much money. It is caused by unpayable interest rates.

Fact: Interest Rates in Zimbabwe were 800% in 2007
Fact: The Overnight Rate Charged By Zimbabwe’s Reserve Bank is 10,000%
Fact: The 91 Day T-Bill is at an interest rate of 66.33%
Fact: Their Government has to hike taxes to pay the T-Bill rate at its maturity. Taxes up to 79%!
Fact: Unemployment in Zimbabwe is at 85% and HERE

QUESTION: If you’re a shopkeeper and you have a loan at an interest rate of 800% and your taxes are nearly 64% (plus a 15% “value added tax” for a total of 79%) of your income, do you think that you will have to raise your prices to stay in business?

ANSWER: Yes. Daily.

QUESTION: Why is this happening? Is someone manipulating their interest rates, causing economic chaos because they want Zimbabwe’s gold, platinum and diamonds?

Overview
Gold surrendered to a single company – find out who.
Manipulate, collapse, take.

ANSWER: Ya think?

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is refusing to pay for gold deliveries.
Most of the gold mines have collapsed.
Investment banks are buying up the mines at pennies on the dollar.

This did not happen to Zimbabwe because they did not have enough gold.
This did not happen to Zimbabwe because they did not have enough natural resources.
This did not happen to Zimbabwe because the government spent too little.
This did not happen to Zimbabwe because they had too much paper money.
This happened because they had too much debt and the unpayable interest is destroying them.

Say, aren’t the people dependent on bank loans for a medium of exchange and don’t the banks set the interest rates on their loaned money?

When the banks hike the interest rates to manipulate the money supply to the point that only 15% of the people can work, the medium of exchange is destroyed and the banks end up with the gold, is that financial terrorism?

911

Two things continue to amaze me:

1) the depth and breadth of corruption at the top;

2) and the inability, or unwillingness of all of us at the bottom to see it.

911 - look into it - it's all there!

Deep denial I suppose.

Webster Tarpley

What an incredible, information-packed show this week's is (27/08). Webster is the only person I've found who can tie it all together so effortlessley, and so logically - it can be nothing but the truth:

http://tarpley.net/world-crisis-radio/

Especially listen to the ten minutes or so from minute 42, which will give you the exact explanation of what is going on re international finance, oil, gold, Libya, the corrupt cabal, etc.

I don't actually see how his solution, however, can move forward unimpeded (re-build the US infrastructure) because of the limits of resources on a finite planet, and because it means printing more money, but these are details. He must have excellent inside information from people within the system who have had enough of ten years of constant war and high-level corruption, and then he gives it his personal spin with his historian's hat on.

Truly top-level information.

And shame on you all of those so-called media pundits, who toe the line and spread the lies.

911

Truth will out:
