Investigative Journalism

The title of the blog post seems to be synonymous with 'conspiracy theory' lately, with anyone saying anything outside of what the MSM tells you being labelled the latter. Being over 50, however, means that I remember when journalists used to dig up the dirt and expose criminality, corruption and malfeasance. Now this is no longer possible, under pain of sanctions, loss of job and livelihood, or at the very least, the approbation of your friends and colleagues.

Despite all of this, some of us bloggers out there have continued to look under the carpet, beyond the falsehoods and through the facade, to try to understand the true nature of events unfolding around us. To this end, I recently posted on the Max Keiser web-site, where I am a regular visitor. As is often the case, the comments section is full of interesting, stimulating and sometimes shocking information, often posted by 'Joe 6-pack' who invariably lives out in the woods, like me. Here I have been able to glean a lot of information about life on the ground for average people - whether it be in the US, UK, Europe, Asia, etc. So, I think that I have quite a good feel for BS when I read it, for facts, or for bluff. It's a long and frustrating road to follow, but some of us prefer it to receiving our already-chewed and spat-out news from some dippy talking head sitting on a sofa with a low-cut top.

Copies of my original posts on the Max Keiser link, regarding the fact that China has just bought the building in New York which houses JPMorgan's gold vaults, seem impossible to cut-and-paste below (which is a pity, as there was lots of jucy info!) but basically it boiled down to the same crony-capitalism: The Company which just bought N°1 Chase-Manhatten Plaza was a Chinese Company called 'FOSUN'. I looked up their history, and (surprise, surprise!) they had given many press conferences and presentations with all the major Western banks (all the bad guys) as well as having dealings in the past with the Carlyle Group (lots about them on the web, mostly bad) and Prudential Insurance (lots on them, too!). After a few hours of research and a couple of postings, the only comment I got in return was:

"Lot of trolls here...".

Which means that what I posted must have been pretty near-the-knuckle: they prefer to denigrate you than to argue or deny what you have said. I consider this a (small) victory, but the worrying consequences are that the media (even, now, the alternative media) is saying that China is buying up the West, and dumping the dollar, whereas the truth is, in fact, that China is actually 'China', a Corporation like all the others, managed behind the scenes by the same corrupt oligarchs that still run the West, but they are crashing the West and moving East. These are the same people who are buying all of the gold in the West, shipping it East, and who will bring in the new global gold-backed currency.

This is not going to end well.

FOSUN just purchased J Morgan’s Chase Plaza. Here is a list of Corporate events and patrners they’ve been involved with over the last few years:

‘Carlyle was able to complete an IPO of United Defense on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2001 selling a significant portion of its interest in the company. Carlyle completed a sale of its remaining United Defense stock and exited the investment in April 2004.[18] In more recent years, Carlyle has deemphasized its focus on defense industry investments.[19]
Carlyle’s 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that a member of the Bin Laden family had been in attendance and that they were investors in Carlyle managed funds.[20] Later reports confirmed that the Bin Laden family had invested $2 million into Carlyle’s $1.3 billion Carlyle Partners II Fund in 1995, making the family relatively small investors with the firm.[21] These connections would later be profiled in Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911. The Bin Laden family liquidated its holdings in Carlyle’s funds in October 2001.[22′

Sound familiar?
Also, on a recent trip to UK, the (omnipresent) HSBC advertising was talking of a change coming soon, emerging markets becoming top players, more south-to-south trade coming soon, etc.
Anyone who thinks these global banks have been wrongfooted by the Chinese is delusional. Just look at the picture at the top of this link: not a Chinese person in sight! A white, Western, corporate businessman.
