This was issued on July 5^th. On Part 2 about 50 minutes in, he says, “I think Turnkey is going to flip.” Real interesting.

The Corruption Cannot Stop The Masses (Part 1)

The Corruption Cannot Stop The Masses (Part 2)

There are actually three parts to this series; there's a big gap around the 39 minute mark of Part 2. Let it run, it picks up as Jim begins talking about Alan Greenspan. You'll find out about more loony ideas like supranational sovereign bond issuance from the IMF with a link from the BIS in Basel, Switzerland. They may try and “gold back” it and then it wont be popular. It's a matter of who gets to control the gold and value it, as we have said throughout this blog. This is the same old story that it has been from since forever; the gold backing of trade became necessary as Asian producers began to suspect operators working for trade westward of stealing from them. Gold is NOT an indication of trust; quite the contrary, one can trade with one's enemies because anybody will take and trade gold. THAT is the matter that all those who have some grudge against precious metals to understand. 

Golden Jackass

The Hat Trick letter, “reads like a non-fictional spy novel.

Lest we get this as a comment or question; of course we don't believe in gold being hoarded by central banks but distributed widely in each and every community. Why? Because local people have no reason to believe that any of their community's gold held far far away is really going to be there. At 55 minutes into Part 2 Jim describes a Chinese possibility, a BRICS gold bank distributing gold backed certificates, a gold trade note. A return to gold and perhaps silver certificates all involving contracts is envisaged. They describe somewhat about the financing of these possible deals. Jim talks about the worldwide dollar boycott through rejection of more T bills as underway affecting worldwide shipping. He opines on “just in time” inventory and supply chain efficiencies. Starting to see empty shelves. The situation he describes will revert to gold holding widely in the east and they wont trade unless they receive gold in trade because they have been cheated by the Western banker oligarchs and they know it. He's further intending that the gold trade note will take over the oil trade as well. All we have to say is; we'll see.

Jim mentions Brazil as in turmoil over a corruption scandal. He mentions Germany saying they are thumbing their noses at sanctions against trade with the BRICS. He mentions German access to China as scaring British elites into getting away from the EU to do their own deals with China. The key is the proposed gold backed trade note which is directly convertible to gold. Once you have gold at least you think your deal went through – barter for barter – you shipped goods and got gold in return.

Now if the Chinese can control the price above the current controllers of the price, then they can determine what its worth compared with everyone else's money and might even crash everyone else's money and force everyone to use gold trade notes. It would do something when people everywhere see these and demand them or don't show up to work and strike until they are paid in them. What then? The Disneyworld for the masses that the elites use to keep everyone asleep and enslaved, they call it “entertainment,” may be gouged through by the eastern trading partners. There's a lot more information about it. There's a lot of frank talk about robbery in locales outside the US. But you can be robbed anywhere. There's a lot of repetition of tracks on Part 2.

These appear to be previous podcasts recently published; some of them are months old at the time they're published.  They are being posted here for the information they contain:

Central Banks: The Untouchables

Central banks are key institutions responsible for issuing currency, monitoring private banks and carrying out a country’s monetary policy. In terms of their influence on a country’s economy, central banks may surpass all the economic agencies of an executive branch, including ministries of finance (treasuries).

Central banks are not a part of any of the three branches of government (legislative, executive and judicial). Their special status, which makes them independent from the state, is set out in constitutions and special laws. It is believed that such independence is necessary to pursue a balanced monetary policy and prevent the government from abusing the printing press and covering its expenses by printing unsecured currency.

These days, however, there are many who would prefer this argument to be forgotten seeing as the US Federal Reserve System (the central bank of the US), the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank and many other central banks in the Western world switched their printing presses to full power and masked what was going on with references to ‘quantitative easing programmes’.

The pyramid of financial power

It is clear today that a new structure is being built in the world alongside the state machine that has existed for centuries and represents national sovereignty, and this structure is designed to gradually replace nation states. It is called a world government and the supports of the structure are central banks. The structure is in the form of a pyramid. At the top is the US Federal Reserve System, which issues dollars that acquired the status of a global currency 72 years ago at the Bretton Woods Conference [July, 1944].

The next layer of the pyramid is made up of central banks that issue reserve currencies. These are first and foremost the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan. The layer below consists of central banks in the eurozone, which kind of act as ECB shareholders (chief among these is the Bundesbank and the Bank of France). It also includes the central banks of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some Scandinavian countries.

At the base of the pyramid are the vast majority of the other central banks in the world, which are such in name only. In practice, they are ‘currency boards’ that issue national currencies by purchasing US dollars or other reserve currencies. These ‘national’ currencies are really just repainted Federal Reserve dollars. This entire network of central banks is presided over by the US Federal Reserve System and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel. The BIS is a kind of private club for central banks that was established back in 1930 and played a not insignificant role in the build up to and unleashing of the Second World War.

Central banks may have the status of public sector organisations, private or mixed (public-private). The form of ownership has absolutely no effect on their ‘independence’. The US Federal Reserve System, for example, is a closed corporation. [Totally private] The Bank of England and the Bank of France used to be privately owned, but were later nationalised [They are still privately owned]. The central banks of Japan and Italy are organisations with mixed ownership [Still, ultimately privately controlled].

Every year, the central banks expand their range of functions and powers. Many of them are becoming ‘financial mega-regulators’ that are usurping control over the economy.

Some of the events taking place in the world can only be understood in light of the fact that central banks have immunity that protects them from any attempts by the state to encroach upon their ‘special’ status.

Slovenia puts the ECB in its place

On 7 July, global news agencies circulated two stories. The first came from the BBC and the second from Reuters. The headline of the BBC news item was «Argentina: Former leader Cristina Fernandez has assets frozen», while Reuters published its article under the headline: «ECB threatens legal action against Slovenia after police raid». At first glance, there does not seem to be any connection between the two stories, but a connection does nevertheless exist.

In 2013, one of the leading private banks in Slovenia found itself on the verge of bankruptcy. There was a possibility that the bank’s collapse would bring down the country’s entire banking system. The government of Slovenia, which is a member of both the European Union and the Eurozone, did not receive adequate financial support from Brussels and was forced to bail out its own banks, giving them more than €3 billion from the state budget. The distribution of public money took place on the basis of recommendations and suggestions prepared by the Central Bank of Slovenia.

And now three years later, compelling evidence has emerged that casts doubt on whether the Central Bank provided the government with an objective picture of the financial position of individual banks in the country’s credit system. There is a suspicion that some of the information the Central Bank of Slovenia gave to the government was corrupt. Slovenian police have searched the offices of the Central Bank and seized a number of documents that compromise the governor and senior officials of the Bank of Slovenia.

And all of a sudden, the actions of the Slovenian police have sparked a violent reaction from the European Central Bank. ECB President Mario Draghi said that he deplored the seizure of property and information, referring to it as a violation of the ECB’s legal privileges and immunities and calling on European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to look into the situation.

Mario Draghi has also sent a letter to the Slovenian State Prosecutor General that says: «Seized equipment contains ECB information and such information is protected under directly applicable primary EU law» [This is an instance of international intellectual property law: that which is yours is NOT yours, just as we have always said.].

The European Central Bank also threatened Slovenia with legal action (although the case will obviously be filed with the supranational European Court of Justice rather than the national court of Slovenia). It turns out that any attempts by national authorities to monitor and control their central banks are considered to be an encroachment upon the ‘independence’ of the European Central Bank. The incident in Slovenia has made it clear to the authorities of all Eurozone countries that their ‘national’ central banks are actually nothing more than subsidiaries of the supranational ECB. [We've told everybody this too, for years now.]

The money bosses take revenge on a woman

Now let us look at events in Argentina. A court in Buenos Aires has decided to freeze the assets of former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who has been accused of artificially propping up the exchange rate of the Argentine peso in the final months of her presidency. Following orders from Kirchner, the central bank allegedly sold US dollars on the futures market at «an artificially low price to the detriment of the country’s financial system». The tailor-made nature of the affair is beyond doubt. For many years, this tenacious woman has withstood the onslaught from the US and the money bosses in order to protect Argentina’s sovereignty.

Firstly, she resisted the attempts of ‘financial vultures’ to undermine the debt restructuring agreements that Argentina reached with its main creditors in the early 2000s. The ‘financial vultures’ (several speculative investment funds) that had not signed restructuring agreements began to take action through the courts of New York, achieving full repayment of Argentine debt securities that they had been able to buy on the market for next to nothing. This created a precedent allowing global sovereign debt restructuring agreements to be undermined. It also created a precedent for the blatant pressuring of foreign states using the decisions of courts belonging to other jurisdictions (courts that do not even formally have the status of an international court) [They are above the law, and if their law courts don't get you, their secret squads of paid “wet work” thugs will do you in.]. Here Cristina Fernández de Kirchner found herself on the front line of the battle against legal imperialism.

Secondly, Cristina Kirchner created a precedent a few years ago that was not to the money bosses’ liking. As head of state, she decided to place the Central Bank of Argentina under her control [oh no]. In 2010, she needed the central bank’s currency reserves to pay the country’s external debt. The amount needed was $6.6 billion, which was about a seventh of the central bank’s international reserves and half of the total amount of external sovereign debt.

Covering government debts by obtaining foreign loans would make the country even more dependent on global moneylenders, but by using the central bank’s reserves, Argentina would be able to completely rid itself of its foreign debt burden in a relatively short space of time. It is not difficult to guess how the money bosses reacted to this brave woman’s endeavour.

The then president of the Central Bank of Argentina, Martin Redrado, refused to obey Kirchner’s orders and she signed a decree for his dismissal. In response, Redrado appealed to the court in Buenos Aires and just a few days later (what efficiency!), the Argentine justice system annulled the president’s decree. The judge who presided over the case justified his decision by saying that «the president does not have the authority to dismiss the head of the Central Bank». [That is true everywhere and just as we have contended from the outset, NONE of THEIR money has ever been or ever will be yours. You merely use it, but THEY run it and can do as they please. Understood yet?]

Surprisingly, as well as deciding to reinstate Redrado as central bank president, the court also demanded that the Argentine President’s decision to use the central bank’s international reserves to pay the country’s debt be revoked. [They want the grip of their debt FOREVER, which is asking back that which was never created, else they play the “Sampson option.”]

Central Bank President Martin Redrado was finally dismissed, but the decision prohibiting the use of the central bank’s international reserves was upheld. It is interesting that in January 2010, accounts held by Argentina’s Central Bank in US banks were frozen by a court in New York. The decision was made based on the requirements of the holders of Argentina’s external debt. Officially, the decision of the New York court was not linked to Kirchner’s decision, but experts familiar with the rules of the game in the global financial system believe it was a warning to the Argentine president.

It is only in light of this story that one can understand why former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is now being persecuted. The money bosses are trying to completely destroy all traces of the ‘Argentine precedent’ that allows for a central bank to be removed from under the control of the global financial International.

#13.22 Peace Revolution Podcast 92

2016-05-26: #92 The National Security Coup / From Barry Seal to 9-11 

We congratulate young and brave Richard Grove on his 10 years of service to the ongoing mission of EXPOSURE of the criminals and their crimes. This better than 18 hour podcast, yeah you'll need to break it up into chunks to get at it with sufficient rest and attention, is sort of a watershed anyway as it ties many crimes together. It will definitely pay you to get into this material, that is if you really want to know the truth.

Perhaps if you can't handle the truth, then frankly you may not deserve it. Then you can't complain the next time anyone lies to you and you find out.  Certain things in life are really up to you and you wont so easily or successfully be able to project blame to anyone else. Grove has not yet grasped a few things, specifically what to do when their monetary system is finally fully exposed for what it is and fails.  What then of so called "taxpayer dollars" going to fund the atrocities he describes?  Those who still bring up "taxpayer dollars" are clearly not aware of how THEY see things.  He should track dollars from their source in the central bank through the system and become "taxpayer dollars." 

No Richard, with all die respect, NONE of the money you know anything about, including precious metals and precious stones, has ever been yours or mine, ALL of it is THEIR money.  AND since it is THEIRS, as long as we use it, we are THEIR slaves; free range too.  Now, here's something else; what do all the nefarious enterprises having to do with real human slaves throughout most of the developing world, precious metals (mines to trading desks), drugs and weapons all have in common?  They are all un-repoted or under reported on purpose.  This involves directly giving them more money that they have ready use to for all their corrupt practices, because all the money is on the books, not in the actual circulating notes.

Grove may be among those, I doubt it, that assume that after this much exposure of explosive truthful details, that things can be patched up and the whole wheezing, crazy, stupid, amoral machine can continue because we like the nastiness that come from it, let's be honest. We like all those time wasting activities, bad food and worse drink, and anyway those of us with jobs are being slowly ground down by the essential dishonesty of everything that we are shoved into accepting while we are paid less than required to live on: our barter for our time and labour is not being adequately reimbursed for food, clothes, HOUSING, etc.

Who but those who believe themselves superior as gods could possibly enjoy this style of life to the fullest? We've already shown, and it's everywhere so others know too, that the top less than 1% get half the income from all activities on earth! Since as we have seen, only that capable of producing an income is ever wealth, they are getting around 97% of it ... and of course as Grove knows there's the “shadow government” and that's certain enterprises that are always off the books, etc. Not reported “pools of liquidity” are merely what the Babylonian style resurgence has always been about; gold (money), slaves (all races), drugs (pharma included of course), weapons ... and for a little more than 100 years now, petroleum (distribution not development). 

These “gods” that aren't live way above the law, they are the too big to fails, because by being able to lend their money into existence, they control everything else, and we're just too stupid not to get with our own money so until we do, they can bludgeon us, scare us, threaten and terrorize us into one war after another serving two of their known objectives; genocide (ours) and profit (theirs).

We used to enjoy our lives more, or were perhaps only new to the better conditioning to come to think otherwise. We didn't see the creatures behind the windows of our conscious lives. Back then, things cost less, jobs were more plentiful and one could save one's money with the reasonable expectation that it would still buy about what it did years before.

Riegel died in 1953 and wrote mostly during the late forties when he saw the first wave of inflation. All we can say is that a dollar in 1930 or 1925 must have really bought a lot and was harder to earn. Do we really want to go back there? No, we are where we are now, so it's best to get used to what's happened in the past and get with whatever you can, beginning with this blog's parallel monetary proposal.
