Good thread from linksplatinum on the astrological Cardinal Cross coming up in April. Suspect this will set off a number of major happenings and changes, which should show up in this thread! We've been told to 'hold onto our hats' since the end of 2012. Perhaps this is the time to do it…

Secret CIA Torture Report To Be Released

The US Senate Intelligence Committee votes to declassify parts of a report into the CIA's use of brutal interrogation techniques.

By Sky News US Team

A US Senate panel has approved the declassification of a secret report that criticises the CIA's treatment of terror suspects after 9/11.

The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 11-3 to release key parts of the 6,300-page report that concluded waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation methods" were excessively cruel and ineffective.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama would instruct intelligence agencies to finalise the declassification quickly.

CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said his agency would "carry out the review expeditiously", but suggested the process may be difficult.

He said: "We owe it to the men and women directed to carry out this programme to try and ensure that any historical account of it is accurate."

The CIA and Senate panel have been embroiled in a dispute after senators accused the agency of spying on its investigation into the use of torture in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The CIA accused Senate staffers of illegally accessing information.

Intelligence committee chairman Sen Dianne Feinstein said the report "exposes brutality that stands in stark contrast to our values as a nation.

"It chronicles a stain on our history that must never again be allowed to happen."

The review concludes that waterboarding and other harsh techniques provided no key evidence in the hunt for terror suspects, including Osama bin Laden.

Sen Feinstein and other senators have accused the CIA of misleading officials about the effectiveness of its programme, including in statements the agency made to President George W Bush and Congress.

Members of the intelligence community, meanwhile, say the Senate probe failed to interview top agency officials who authorised or supervised the brutal interrogations, rendering the investigation incomplete.

Jose Rodriguez, the CIA's chief clandestine officer in the mid-2000s, said: "Neither I or anyone else at the agency who had knowledge was interviewed.

"They don't want to hear anyone else's narrative. It's an attempt to rewrite history."

Before the declassified parts of the report are released, the CIA will have the chance to scrub any passages that could compromise national security.

Sen Feinstein expressed hope most of the summary and findings would escape CIA censors and reach the public within 30 days.

Russia Has Already Backed its Currency With Gold

From ITAR-TASS news agency (30 March)

http://en.itar-tass.com/economy/725832

MOSCOW: An action in support of bank Rossiya which has decided to work exclusively with the national currency will take place in Moscow on Sunday.

The Golden Symbol of Russian Rouble installation in front of the bank’s office in Perevedensky pereulok in Moscow will symbolize the rouble’s stability and its backing by the country’s gold reserves, the action’s organizers explained to Itar-Tass.

Bank Rossiya plans to work only with Russia’s national currency The action is designed to voice support for the Rossiya bank, which is creating a precedent and can make those who have initiated penalties against Russia to feel sorry about their decision.

The bank’s transition to using exclusively the rouble may prove the Russian currency’s viability and independence in world economy.

“Russia, at its present stage of development, should not be dependent on foreign currencies; its internal resources will make its own economy invulnerable to political wheeler dealers,” the action’s organizers said.

The Russian joint-stock bank, AB Rossiya, decided on Friday that it would work only with the national currency to protect its customers from dishonest actions by foreign financial institutions.
“In order to protect the bank’s customers from dishonest actions by foreign financial institutions AB Rossiya has decided to operate only in the domestic market and exclusively with the national currency of the Russian Federation – the rouble,” AB Rossiya said in a statement released on Friday.

“The bank has already notified some U.S. banks that it is closing its correspondence accounts. Similar notifications have been sent to other foreign financial institutions,” the bank said in its statement.

Despite changes in its work, AB Rossiya will continue meeting its commitments to clients and partners.

“The bank will fulfill its commitments on time and in full volume. The bank does not need financial support for its current operations, including from the state regulator,” AB Rossiya said. The Visa and MasterCard international payment systems stopped servicing the plastic cards of four Russian banks, including AB Rossiya, on March 21 because of their links to sanctioned Russian businessmen included in the United States black list.

The bank Rossiya’s decision to give up foreign currency and start working exclusively with the Russian rouble is a step forward towards converting the Russian economy and banking sector to national currency, Andrei Kostin, the VTB bank president, said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV news channel commenting the decision of bank Rossiya to operate only in the domestic market and exclusively with the Russian rouble.

“We have been moving towards wider use of the Russian rouble as the currency of settlement for a long time. The rouble became fully convertible quite a long time ago. Unfortunately, we have seen predominantly negative consequences of this step so far revealed in the outpour of capital from this country. The influx of foreign investments into Russia has been speculative and considerably destabilizing to our stock markets,” Kostin went on to say.

The VTB chief said that Russia should sell domestic products – from weapons to gas and oil – abroad for roubles and buy foreign goods also for roubles.

“Only then are we going to use the advantages of the rouble being a foreign currency in full measure,” Kostin said, adding that AB Rossiya would form a vital part of the Russian banking system and would closely cooperate with other Russian banks, which would also expand the rouble’s use in settlements.

“A new imperative motive has appeared for that now,” the VTB chief stressed.

“I believe that other credit institutions, enterprises and citizens will be interested in working with bank Rossiya,” Kostin said in conclusion.

$6 Billion Goes Missing at State Department

The State Department has no idea what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.

In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years.

The alert was just the latest example of the federal government’s continued struggle with oversight over its outside contractors.

Related: Government Blatantly Wastes $30 Billion This Year

The lack of oversight “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”

In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contract file administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn't find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.

In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”

Related: Government Wastes More Money Than You Think

The auditor recommended that the State Department establish a centralized system to track, maintain and retain contract files.

The department responded and said it concurred with the recommendations to address the “vulnerability” in its contracting process.

Before Linick took office last fall, the State Department had been without an inspector general position for five years—the longest IG vacancy in the government’s history, as noted in The Washington Post.

What About The Dollar: Russia, Iran Announce $20 Billion Oil-For-Goods Deal

‘Spot what is missing in the just blasted headline from Bloomberg:

IRAN, RUSSIA SAID TO SEAL $20B OIL-FOR-GOODS DEAL: REUTERS

If you said the complete absence of US Dollars anywhere in the funds flow you are correct. Which is precisely what we have been warning would happen the more the West and/or JPMorgan pushed Russia into a USD-free corner.

Once again, from our yesterday comment on the JPM Russian blockade: “what JPM may have just done is launch a preemptive strike which would have the equivalent culmination of a SWIFT blockade of Russia, the same way Iran was neutralized from the Petrodollar and was promptly forced to begin transacting in Rubles, Yuan and, of course, gold in exchange for goods and services either imported or exported. One wonders: is JPM truly that intent in preserving its “pristine” reputation of not transacting with “evil Russians”, that it will gladly light the fuse that takes away Russia’s choice whether or not to depart the petrodollar voluntarily, and makes it a compulsory outcome, which incidentally will merely accelerate the formalization of the Eurasian axis of China, Russia and India?”

In other words, Russia seems perfectly happy to telegraph that it is just as willing to use barter (and “heaven forbid” gold) and shortly other “regional” currencies, as it is to use the US Dollar, hardly the intended outcome of the western blockade, which appears to have just backfired and further impacted the untouchable status of the Petrodollar.’

ABN Amro Ex-CEO Found Dead (Zerohedge)

A mere two weeks since former JPMorgan banker, Kenneth Bellando jumped to his death, Bloomberg reports that the former CEO of Dutch Bank ABN Amro (and his wife and daughter) were found dead at their home after a possible "family tragedy." This expands the dismal list of senior financial services executive deaths to 12 in the last few months. The 57-year-old Jan Peter Schmittmann, was reportedly discovered by his other daughter when she arrived home that morning. Police declined to comment on the cirumstances of his (and his wife and daughter's) death. This is not the first C-level ABN Amro banker to be found dead. In 2009, former CFO Huibert Boumeester was discovered with (assumed self-inflicted) shotgun wounds.

Banker ‘Hit Teams’ Take Out Another One! (BeforeItsNews)

Another dead banker has been found as shared in the newly released video below from Dahboo7. The former CEO of Dutch Bank ABN Amro was found dead (along with his wife and one daughter), merely two weeks after former JPMorgan banker, Kenneth Bellando, jumped to his death. As warned EXACTLY 2 months ago by ‘V’ the Guerrilla Economist via Steve Quayle, banker assassination ‘hit teams’ were fully operational and the ‘hit list’ contained 43 additional names. Were Jan Peter Schmittmann’s wife and daughter just in the wrong place at the wrong time as another ‘hit team’ carried out their latest assassination?

Co-op Group faces tough questions over bank's £1.3bn loss

Lord Myners under growing pressure to rethink reform plan as bank's delayed publishing of 2013 results sparks fears

The troubled Co-operative Group faces fresh controversy this week when its banking arm scrambles to explain how it racked up £1.3bn of losses last year. Lord Myners, the director appointed to overhaul the way the mutual organisation is run, is also coming under growing pressure to rethink his blueprint for reform.

The bank – now just 30% owned by the Co-op Group – delayed its 2013 results last month and pledged to publish the full detail of the losses "on or before" Tuesday 8 April . It is not yet clear when they will be released, potentially unleashing fresh controversy over pay, as details of the rewards to Niall Booker, the new bank boss parachuted in last year, are expected to be revealed.

Booker was part of the team assembled by Euan Sutherland, the boss of the Co-op Group, whose operations include supermarkets, funeral homes and pharmacies. Sutherland walked out last month, after details of his £6.6m two-year deal were published by the Observer, a departure that sparked a fresh crisis at the Co-op and forced Myners, appointed in December with a remit to overhaul the governance of the group, to publish his ideas a month earlier than planned.

Myners is under intense pressure to rethink his initial plans, which include scrapping the current board which comprises 15 members from regional boards, five from the independent co-op and himself, the sole independent director.

He is suggesting setting up a board more akin to a public company with a seat for the chief executive and a separate national members' council to represent the views of the 7 million members who own the Co-op.

But this idea will need the backing of the powerful regions, which have the potential to block Myners' plans, and it is also facing resistance from some quarters because it does not give members a direct voice on the boards. This has raised fears that the axing of the regional boards would reduce the accountability of senior management.

The regional boards have a say over 78% of the votes at crucial member meetings which will be called to endorse reforms. The North West board has yet to meet, but many of the boards met on Friday and Saturday and concerns are said to have been voiced about the initial proposals.

There are suggestions that they have voted against the Myners' proposals although some stress there has been no formal show of hands and that the proposals are not complete.

Myners, who was chairman of Guardian Media Group before he became Labour's City minister during the 2008 banking crisis, is expected to publish the full version of the first stage of his report later this month – after the Co-op's results are released on 17 April when losses of at least £2bn are expected.

Sutherland's departure has left the group without a permanent replacement as chief executive while it faces ongoing controversy over the retention packages handed to other members of his team.

The bank's annual report should reveal whether Booker received the retention packages handed to other members of the remaining group executives, including Richard Pennycook, the former Morrison's finance director. He is currently acting chief executive and under pressure to hand back the £900,000-a-year retention payment which came on top of his similar size salary. The annual report will reveal any ongoing payments to past directors of the bank.

The group also needs to decide whether to back a surprise £400m fundraising initiative announced by the bank last month to cover a fresh wave of compensation from customers. It would need to find £120m if it is to maintain its 30% stake.

The bank and the group declined to comment.

Kaupthing creditors fear Investec intends to walk away from £150m debt

Debt is legacy of Investec's administration of an offshore trust on behalf of corporate raider Robert Tchenguiz

Investec, the FTSE 250 banking and asset management group, is preparing to walk away from a debt of about £150m owed by one of its offshore businesses, according to those chasing the money on behalf of creditors to the failed Icelandic bank Kaupthing.

The debt, equivalent to almost 40% of the Anglo-South African group's profits for 2013, is an unintended legacy of Investec's administration of a hugely complex offshore trust on behalf of Robert Tchenguiz, one of London's most active corporate raiders before the 2008 banking crisis.

At its peak, the Investec-administered trust sat on top of a business empire that had heavily debt-financed interests in Sainsbury's, Mitchells & Butlers, Somerfield, Welcome Break and an extensive property portfolio – as well as homes, offices and yachts used by Tchenguiz. It had borrowings of £4bn.

The banking crisis saw many of Tchenguiz's investments come crashing down as the banks seized trust assets. Although it was not until last December that receivers were officially appointed over the trust, it has long been accepted that the Kaupthing claim, if successful, left Tchenguiz's empire horribly insolvent.

In January a court in the Channel Islands found that an Investec subsidiary, Investec Trust Guernsey (ITG), must be held liable for some of the borrowings Tchenguiz had taken on, through his trust, to finance investments. Investec is appealing against the judgment.

With remaining assets in the trust – Tchenguiz's home, his office in Mayfair and several other properties – estimated by creditors to be worth about £30m, the shortfall on the £180m owing to Kaupthing is likely to be enormous.

Tchenguiz is not personally liable for the shortfall. He is appealing against the Guernsey court's decision affirming Kaupthing's claim over trust assets.

ITG had been at the heart of Investec's offshore trust business for many years, targeting Europe's super-rich. But in 2010, Investec effectively wound down ITG to a shell company, with trust administrating functions shifting to offices in Jersey. Last November, the group's entire offshore trust operations, with offices in Switzerland, South Africa, Mauritius and Jersey, was sold.

Those acting for Kaupthing fear that, should ITG's appeal fail, then Investec will not honour the debt owed to Kaupthing creditors. ITG will be allowed to go bust.

Last December, this possibility was raised in court by the judge, lieutenant bailiff Sir John Chadwick. Addressing lawyers acting for Kaupthing creditors' interests, he said: "Your problem at the moment is that if the parent company … of ITG says: 'We are going to walk away from this. We are not going to support our subsidiary', you are left with a very personal judgment against somebody who is virtually worthless."

Lawyers for Kaupthing pointed to evidence submitted by Investec, insisting it showed: "That is exactly what the parent is saying, of course."

The Guardian put the allegation to Investec that it is planning to walk away from the ITG liability. In response, it would only stress that it is appealing against the Guernsey court's decision. It did, however, reiterate a statement from its annual report: "Investec does not expect the ultimate resolution of the proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the group."

It is not the first time Investec has clashed with receivers acting for Kaupthing. In late 2008, shortly after the Icelandic bank began rapidly calling in loans to Tchenguiz trust companies and liquidating assets, Investec trustees wrote to Reykjavik revealing that they had removed some of the remaining collateral assets – interests in Somerfield and Welcome Break – from Kaupthing's grasp.

These interests, trustees said, would be frozen, and courts in the British Virgin Islands invited to determine who had a rightful claim over them.

Receivers were furious, and accused Investec of fraud. Investec trustees, meanwhile, insisted such allegations were "scandalous and vexatious", and that the assets rightfully belonged with the trust.

Some 18 months later, Investec trustees decided to settle with Kaupthing. Frozen assets were released and Kaupthing's allegation of fraud dropped. Less than two weeks later, Tchenguiz – who at the time was pursuing a claim, since dropped, for "fraudulent misrepresentation" against Kaupthing – removed Investec as trustees.

Anadarko Petroleum Gets $5.15 Billion ‘Clean-Up’ Fine After US-Wide Pollution Case

From Reuters – April 3, 2014

http://tinyurl.com/lm2sp6k

(Reuters) – Energy company Anadarko Petroleum Corp agreed on Thursday to pay more than $5 billion to clean up areas across the United States polluted by nuclear fuel, wood creosote and rocket fuel waste that caused cancer and other health problems. The agreement resolves a long-running lawsuit against the Kerr-McGee energy and chemical company, which Anadarko bought in 2006. The case was brought by a trust representing the U.S. government, 11 state governments, Indian tribes and individuals.

The trust was seeking cleanup costs at more than 2,000 sites nationwide. It was also seeking payment for claims from more than 8,000 people who said their exposure to Kerr-McGee’s wood treatment plants in Avoca, Pennsylvania and Manville, New Jersey caused cancer, which in some cases led to death.

“If you are responsible for 85 years of poisoning the earth, you are responsible for cleaning it up,” the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, Preet Bharara, said at a news conference announcing the settlement.

Despite the size of the settlement, investors cheered, boosting Anadarko’s share price 14.5 percent to $99.02 per share. Analysts said the company was facing the possibility of having to pay a much higher price.

“This is a premier exploration company that has this dark cloud hanging over them and now its gone,” said Fadel Gheit, oil analyst at Oppenhemier.

Anadarko had argued the environmental liabilities belonged to Tronox Ltd, a paint and chemicals company that was spun off from Kerr-McGee. The sale of Tronox, which ultimately fell into bankruptcy, happened before Anadarko’s purchase.

In December, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper of New York said Kerr-McGee knew the spin-off would harm Tronox’s business by weighing it with heavy environmental liabilities. He said Anadarko should pay from $5.15 billion to more than $14 billion in cleanup costs. Anadarko said after the ruling the liabilities should be as little as $850 million.

Tronox, which makes titanium dioxide used in paints, said in a statement that the accord means “the cleanup of the Kerr-McGee legacy environmental damages can begin and people injured by those actions can finally be compensated.”

RECORD SETTLEMENT
At one point Kerr-McGee gave Tronox control of a nuclear fuel plant in Oklahoma, where activist worker Karen Silkwood had been employed years earlier. Meryl Streep portrayed her in the eponymous 1983 film about her fight to improve workers’ safety before her death in a car accident.

The settlement with Anadarko is the largest environmental enforcement settlement ever by the Department of Justice, larger even than its plea agreement with BP over its massive 2010 Gulf oil spill, which resulted in $4 billion in criminal fines for the British company.

The lawsuits blamed Kerr-McGee’s use of coal tar creosote, which the Environmental Protection Agency has said is a probable cause of cancer. Another troublesome operation was Kerr-McGee’s decades-old jet and rocket fuel manufacturing plant in Henderson, Nevada, where ammonium perchlorate, a primary fuel component, penetrated soil and then groundwater, causing potential harm to people in Nevada, California and Arizona.

Anadarko said in a statement that it would record a net $550 million tax benefit from the agreement.

“This settlement agreement with the Litigation Trust and the U.S. Government eliminates the uncertainty this dispute has created,” Anadarko Chief Executive Officer Al Walker said.
A Department of Justice source who asked not to be identified said “Anadarko was not found to have done anything wrong.”

CLEAN-UP
The $5.15 billion settlement will fund a wide array of projects, including $1.1 billion to address the perchlorate contamination in Nevada, the litigation trust said in a statement.

The Navajo Nation will get about $1 billion to address radioactive contamination from Kerr-McGee’s decades-old uranium mining operation. Another $1.1 billion will go toward cleanup at more than two dozen contaminated sites around the country.

Tronox used its Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection case to shed the environmental liabilities it had inherited in the spinoff by assigning them to a litigation trust. It emerged from bankruptcy in 2011.

The trust in turn sued Anadarko and Kerr-McGee, arguing the spinoff was a fraudulent ploy by Kerr-McGee to offload its clean-up responsibilities and make itself a more valuable takeover target for Anadarko, and that it doomed Tronox by loading it up with too much liability.

U.S. Attorney Bharara said Kerr-McGee had tried to avoid the cleanup “through a corporate shell game.”

CEO Of Liechtenstein Bank Frick Murdered In Broad Daylight

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/07/2014 10:05 -0400

Over the weekend the world was gripped by the drama surrounding the mysterious murder-homicide of the former CEO of Dutch bank ABN Amro and members of his family, and whether there is more foul play than meets the eye. However, that is nothing compared to what just happened in the tiny, and all too quiet Principality of Lichtenstein, where moments ago the CEO of local financial institution Bank Frick & Co. AG, Juergen Frick, was shot dead in the underground garage of the bank located in the city of Balzers.

Based on preliminary reports, the murder is the result of a disgruntled fund manager, Juergen Germann, who had previously been embroiled in a "bitter dispute" with the government and the bank. Bloomberg has more:

A 48-year-old man was shot dead in the underground garage of a financial institution in Balzers at 7:30 a.m. local time, the principality’s police said on its website. The suspect, Juergen Hermann, fled the scene in a Smart car with Liechtenstein number plates, according to police. Neither the victim nor the institution were identified in the statement.

The deceased was Juergen Frick, CEO of Bank Frick & Co. AG, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said in an e-mailed statement, citing employees of the bank. Calls to Bank Frick were answered by a voice-mail message saying the company is closed because of “a death.” It gave no further details.

Hermann is a fund manager who has been embroiled in a dispute with the Liechtenstein government and Bank Frick for many years, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said.

The Liechtenstein government and the country’s Financial Market Authority “illegally destroyed my investment company Hermann Finance and its funds, depriving me of my livelihood,” according to a website registered under the name Juergen Hermann of Hermann Finance AG.

He has filed lawsuits seeking recovery of 200 million Swiss francs ($225 million) from the government and 33 million francs from Bank Frick, according to the website. The lender “illegally enriched itself,” among other alleged crimes, it said.

A representative of Hermann’s lawyer declined to comment when reached by telephone. A call to Hermann Finance’s office was answered by an employee of a law firm who said his company isn’t related to Hermann Finance.

The narrative against the "publicly hostile" alleged shooter has already been flushed out.

Hermann has been “publicly hostile” to the country’s Financial Market Authority and some of its employees, forcing it to take security measures in consultation with the police, FMA spokesman Beat Krieger said in an e-mail today.

The escape vehicle was later found in the village of Ruggell, 25 kilometers (16 miles) north of Balzers, police said.

“The area is being searched by police with dogs and helicopters,” the 120-member police force said. Zurich police are helping to document the crime scene, spokesman Mario Cortesi said.

Here is the update form the local police station:

On Monday morning, it came in Balzers a homicide, the suspect is currently volatile.

Against 07.30 clock in an underground garage of a financial institution is a homicide occurred in which a 48-year-old man was shot. When volatile suspects are Jürgen Hermann from the Moors. He is armed and dangerous, according to police reports, the investigation of the National Police is in full swing.

Notes on a possible whereabouts of the suspects are requested immediately to the police landing +423 / 236 71 11. Upon encountering the suspect, it is important to exercise extreme caution.

Below is the profile of the murdered CEO, still on the bank's website:

As CEO Jürgen Frick is closely involved in all business activities of the bank with a special focus lying on client advisory, financing and financial product development. As well he supervises all real estate development projects of the Bank.

Jürgen is also Chairman of the Board at Crystal Fund Management AG, a subsidiary of Bank Frick & Co.

As for the bank itself:

Bank Frick is active in modern wealth management and provides a range of advisory services. As well it specializes in fund development and fund administration.

Our Bank entertains close ties to an efficient network of fiduciaries, insurers, tax experts, investment funds and law firms around the world.

We are completely independent. Our advice and our services cater exclusively to the individual needs and requirements of our clients.

Combinvest Establishment serves as holding for all bank shares. Family Frick is the majority stake holder.

After a successful career in international banking and fiduciary services, Kuno Frick senior founded in December 1998 Bank Frick & Co. AG. Due to his wide experience and excellent connections, Bank Frick proved an immediate success.

Since then, the bank’s assets under management have risen steadily. New business segments are continuously being added to the bank’s service portfolio, while existing ones are constantly being refined.

In autumn 2011, Bank Frick’s international presence was significantly enhanced with the opening of Bank Frick UK Branch in Mayfair, London.

Up until now it was mostly banker suicides. With the first open bank CEO murder, one wonders if there will be a change in the pattern.

The latest David Wilcock blog is out here. Just a few snippets below - fascinating stuff!



Our most important time-fractal was seeded throughout more than 30 ancient cultures -- and we know it as the 2,160-year Age of the Zodiac.

This is particularly interesting since we just shifted into a new 2,160-year cycle -- the Age of Aquarius -- as of December 21, 2012.

Less than six months later, the Cabal was very actively being exposed by the Snowden NSA revelations.

Now there are so many provocative and fascinating headlines coming out that I literally cannot keep up with them on a day-to-day basis………

Right now we are at the very end of World War III -- in cyclical terms…….


Although there is plenty of evidence that this villain does exist, there is also a great deal of evidence that a worldwide alliance is working to defeat them……..

The heads of all branches of the American military asked Kennedy to approve a plan to create multiple, fake terrorist attacks against American targets in order to start a new war.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662…….

OPERATION NORTHWOODS

Just to review what we've seen in the previous section, the highest-ranking military personnel in America recommended to President Kennedy that fake terrorist attacks be staged with airliners.

Real airliners would be swapped with drones, flown at extremely low altitudes and repainted.

The drones would then attack their intended targets. The attacks would be blamed on the enemy of choice -- in that case Cuba.

In other plans, the public would be told a plane had crashed -- such as a plane filled with passengers.

The real passengers would all be CIA agents. The plane would fly into a military base at a very low altitude.

The passengers would then re-assume their original identities and blend back into society.

Submarines and / or surface boats would then be used to plant fake wreckage in the water immediately after the event.



THIS IS NOT A "CONSPIRACY THEORY"

This plan was leaked by Congress and vetted out and published by ABC News in May, 2001 -- in partnership with NSA whistleblower James Bamford………………….

A secretive group may have been using staged terrorism to create wars for hundreds, if not thousands of years……………

LET'S START WITH A HIJACKING AND GO FROM THERE...

What if a mysterious hijacking -- so we think -- turned into the most devastating mass political assassination in human history?

What if the real plane was safely landed at a US military base and swapped out with a drone -- already pre-loaded with explosives?

What if you ended up blaming this same stunt on your enemy -- hijacking the plane, holding passengers hostage, and fitting it with explosives?

What if the drone -- a matching Boeing 777 -- was then crashed into a United Nations meeting?

What if this happened to be a meeting where the leaders from the top 53 nations on Earth -- mostly presidents and prime ministers -- had gathered?



IT WOULD BE THE MOST DEVASTATING TERRORIST ATTACK IN HUMAN HISTORY

(Many insiders believe the airliner that ditched in Pennsylvania during 9/11 was headed for the US Congress building)…….

The mainstream media has barely even mentioned how a Boeing 777-ER -- exactly like Flight 370 -- was escorted away from the Hague by two F-16s. (24 March 2014)…..

'Liechtenstein bank chief shot dead'

The chief executive of a private bank has been shot dead in the underground car park of his bank's headquarters in the principality of Liechtenstein, Swiss media report.

SRF online named him as Juergen Frick, head of Bank Frick, based in Balzers near the Swiss border.

Police confirmed the shooting of a 48-year-old man but did not name him.

Detectives named a former fund manager as the suspect and said they believed he may have taken his own life.

The suspect, Juergen Hermann, calls himself the "Robin Hood of Liechtenstein" on his website.

He is reported to have spent years feuding with Bank Frick and Liechtenstein's government over financial matters.

Liechtenstein police said officers had found Mr Hermann's passport which contained a hand-written note in which he confessed to the shooting and wrote "parting words".

Clothes found
They said that sniffer dogs had followed a trail to a stretch of the River Rhine where Mr Hermann's clothes were found.

Police said that although it appeared likely he had taken his own life, efforts to find him were continuing.

According to reports, Mr Hermann had been spotted on the car park's surveillance cameras.

Police quickly named him as the suspected gunman and warned the public that he was considered armed and dangerous.

Mr Hermann's car was later found abandoned in countryside near the Rhine, close to the borders with Austria and Switzerland.

Police sealed off a wide area and were using dogs and helicopters in the search.

Liechtenstein 'Robin Hood' believed dead after banker shooting

Police in Liechtenstein said Monday that a self-styled "Robin Hood" suspected of killing a banker in a financial feud is believed to have committed suicide, but that efforts to locate him continued.

Liechtenstein police said officers had found Juergen Hermann's driving licence and his passport, the latter containing a hand-written note in which he confessed to the shooting and bid farewell to the world.

Sniffer dogs followed a trail to the bank of the River Rhine, where the suspect's clothes were found.

As a result, it appeared likely that Hermann had taken his own life, police said, but efforts to locate him would nonetheless continue.

Hermann, an engineer, financier and technology investor, is the prime suspect in Monday's fatal shooting of Juergen Frick, the boss of Liechtenstein's Bank Frick.

The killing sparked a manhunt in the tiny Alpine principality, where violent crime is unusual, and police had warned the public that Hermann was considered armed and dangerous.

In an apparent challenge, content on Hermann's website Monday had been replaced with the English words: "Catch me if you can, dead or alive, reward 200,000,000 CHF".

Hermann, who calls himself the "Robin Hood of Liechtenstein" on his website, has spent seven years sparring with Bank Frick and the tax haven's government over what he alleges is wrongdoing that has cost him huge sums.

He is seeking 200 million Swiss francs (163 million euros, $225 million) from the state and 33 million Swiss francs from Bank Frick over the 2005 collapse of his hi-tech investment company and funds, which had been put on watch by the authorities.

Hermann has also challenged the "financial mafia" which, he alleges, control the country of some 37,000 people sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria.

In line with Liechtenstein legal custom, police did not identify Frick as the victim. But his name was published in several media reports, which also said he was related to the country's former prime minister.

The body was found by an employee Monday morning in a bank's underground carpark in Balzers, a town in southern Liechtenstein.

Hermann, who was spotted on the carpark's video surveillance, was believed to have followed Frick's car into the carpark on foot, where he shot him as he got out of the vehicle.

His getaway car was found later Monday abandoned in the countryside near the River Rhine in the north of the country and the Swiss and Austrian borders.

Police deployed dogs and helicopters to comb through the sealed-off area and urged the public to stay away and exercise maximum caution if they stumbled upon Hermann.

CEO OF LIECHTENSTEIN BANK FRICK SHOT DEAD IN PARKING GARAGE

The unprecedented recent string of banker “suicides” (which now includes the former CEO of ABN Amro) now has the first incident which even the MSM are describing as a murder, as the CEO of Liechtenstein Bank Frick has just been shot dead in broad daylight in the bank’s parking garage.

The media is initially reporting that the likely culprit is a fund manager Juergen Hermann, who reportedly had a major dispute with Bank Frick & Co and had a current 33 million franc suit open against the firm.

As Bloomberg reports:
A 48-year-old man was shot dead in the underground garage of a financial institution in Balzers at 7:30 a.m. local time, the principality’s police said on its website. The suspect, Juergen Hermann, fled the scene in a Smart car with Liechtenstein number plates, according to police. Neither the victim nor the institution were identified in the statement.

The deceased was Juergen Frick, CEO of Bank Frick & Co. AG, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said in an e-mailed statement, citing employees of the bank. Calls to Bank Frick were answered by a voice-mail message saying the company is closed because of “a death.” It gave no further details.

Hermann is a fund manager who has been embroiled in a dispute with the Liechtenstein government and Bank Frick for many years, Switzerland’s Radio 1 said.

The Liechtenstein government and the country’s Financial Market Authority “illegally destroyed my investment company Hermann Finance and its funds, depriving me of my livelihood,” according to a website registered under the name Juergen Hermann of Hermann Finance AG.

He has filed lawsuits seeking recovery of 200 million Swiss francs ($225 million) from the government and 33 million francs from Bank Frick, according to the website. The lender “illegally enriched itself,” among other alleged crimes, it said.

A representative of Hermann’s lawyer declined to comment when reached by telephone. A call to Hermann Finance’s office was answered by an employee of a law firm who said his company isn’t related to Hermann Finance.



While the initial reports lead us to believe the incident may be unrelated to the string of banker suicides that Jim Willie’s sources claim are related to FOREX Fraud, (particularly as the media are reporting the incident as a murder) we will update the story as more info becomes available.

Barclays settles Libor 'test case' before UK trial

(Reuters) - Barclays has reached a settlement with a UK care home operator weeks before the start of a court case that was seen as a test case for whether customers might sue banks over the manipulation of Libor interest rates.

Barclays had been accused by the care home operator of mis-selling products linked to benchmark interest rates and senior Barclays employees and former executives, including former chief executive Bob Diamond, had been due to testify at the trial.

The case was being closely watched by banks and their customers, after Barclays and several other lenders were fined for manipulating Libor or its euro equivalent Euribor.

If Barclays had lost it was expected to open the door for more bank clients to claim they were mis-sold products linked to Libor.

Graiseley Properties, the parent of Guardian Care Homes, had claimed that interest rate hedging products it was sold by Barclays were invalid because the bank had manipulated Libor rates, to which some of the products' prices were linked.

It sued Barclays for 70 million pounds. Barclays said Guardian owed it the same amount, and was trying to get out of repaying it.

"The parties have negotiated and agreed to a commercial restructuring of Graiseley's debt, which reflects the impact of changes in conditions in this sector over the last few years. Graiseley has withdrawn the litigation," a spokesman for Barclays said.

Guardian Care Homes and its law firm could not be reached for comment.

The terms of the settlement were not released.

The battle in London's High Court was due to go to trial on April 29 and had been expected to last for about six weeks. It had been due to be the first case tied to the manipulation of Libor to reach trial. Deutsche Bank is also involved in a London court case tied to benchmark rates.

Barclays had already had to hand over thousands of emails and other documents from its former bosses and staff.

Diamond, former investment bank bosses Rich Ricci and Jerry del Missier, and former finance director Chris Lucas were among 23 people who had been called as witnesses for the trial.

Diamond and del Missier left Barclays in 2012 shortly after Barclays agreed to pay a $450 million (271 million pounds) settlement with U.S. and UK authorities due to alleged Libor manipulation.

Guardian Care Homes' lawyers had said a $4 billion fund run by Barclays profited from low 3-month sterling Libor rates so the bank benefited from the downward manipulation of Libor, while at the same time selling customers an interest rate hedging product "on the basis that Barclays believed rates would go up".

Report: MH370 disappearance a criminal investigation, police chief says

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- The investigation into Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now classified as a criminal investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the Malaysian police chief.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said authorities have already recorded more than 170 statements and will interview more people for the Flight 370 probe, the Journal said.
But Bakar cautioned that what happened with Flight 370 might still be unknown after the investigation.

He added that the investigation into the flight simulator in the pilot's house is still inconclusive. Authorities are awaiting an expert's report on the simulator, he said.

After three and a half weeks, the search for the missing plane has come down to this: a lot of floating rubbish, hundreds of heartbroken relatives and, now, quibbling over words all acknowledge offer no clues into what happened to the doomed plane.

UK Urges US Congress to Stop Blocking IMF Reforms as China and Russia Lead Efforts to Bypass US

By Nicholas Winning, WSJ -April 7, 2014

http://tinyurl.com/kbmkhbn

Changes Would Give Developing Countries More Voting Power to Reflect Their Growth, Role in World

The failure of the U.S. Congress to ratify reforms to the International Monetary Fund is bad both for the institution and the international community, U.K. Treasury Chief George Osborne said on Monday in Rio de Janeiro.

“I urge the [U.S.] Administration and Congress to act to pass them now,” he said in a speech as he kicked off a three-day trade trip to Brazil ahead of the IMF spring meeting in Washington, D.C. at the end of the week.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde urged the same last month in The Wall Street Journal, saying the fund’s continued ability to fight economic and financial crisis rested on the approval of the reforms.

A large majority of the fund’s 188 member countries have ratified the changes which aim to strengthen the resources and governance of the fund, she said.

The changes would give developing countries, like Brazil, and China, more voting power to reflect their growth and larger role in the world economy. Increasing their voting power would also mean their financial contributions would rise, thereby broadening the IMF’s funding base and making it more representative of the membership, Ms. Lagarde said.

The U.S. is the only IMF member with veto power over major overhauls of its rules and governance and the changes cannot move forward until Congress ratifies the deal. However, some IMF members have set an informal deadline for looking at alternatives: the fund’s semiannual meeting on April 11-13, when finance ministers and central bank chiefs gather to discuss the state of the global economy.

“Let’s implement the reforms we have agreed to in our international institutions like the IMF so that countries like Brazil have the enhanced status and say that your economic strength earns you the right to,” Mr. Osborne said.

The British Chancellor of the Exchequer said the risks in the world economy, the situation in Ukraine, and the challenges of how to manage the withdrawal of Western monetary stimulus would be discussed at the IMF meeting.

“And we should agree both that those monetary authorities like the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England should continue to communicate their exit plans clearly with forward guidance; but that emerging markets must also continue with their crucial structural reforms,” he said. “We will look to see what more we can do together to build resilience in our financial systems and support growth in our economies.”

Mr. Osborne’s government has looked to boost British exports to Latin America and other fast-growing regions in an effort to offset the impact of the slowdown in Europe. The U.K’s trade deficit stood at £26.6 billion ($44 billion) in 2013, down from £33.4 billion a year earlier.

The Bank of England said Monday it will start accepting some export-finance securities as collateral for loans to commercial banks. Mike Rees, deputy group chief executive at lender Standard Chartered PLC, said the move will give banks “an increased level of comfort” over financing exports, which Mr. Osborne said should help spur greater lending to British firms trading overseas.

Tony Blair 'knew everything about CIA interrogation programme'

Tony Blair knew in detail about the CIA’s secret kidnap and interrogation programme after the September 11 attacks, a security source has told The Telegraph, the newspaper reported.

The then prime minster and Jack Straw, his foreign secretary, were kept informed “every step of the way” by MI6 and were shown Bush administration legal opinions that declared “enhanced interrogation” techniques such as waterboarding and stress positions to be legal, the source said.

“The politicians took a very active interest indeed. They wanted to know everything. The Americans passed over the legal opinions saying that this was now 'legal’, and our politicians were aware of what was going on at the highest possible level,” the source, who was reported to have direct and detailed knowledge of the transatlantic relations during that period, told The Telegraph.

“The politicians knew in detail about everything – the torture and the rendition. They could have said [to M16] 'stop it, do not get involved’, but at no time did they.”

The claims comes as Scotland Yard continues to investigate whether MI6 officers should face criminal charges for alleged complicity in the rendition of suspected terrorists, including two Libyan dissidents and their families, who in 2004 were kidnapped and flown to Tripoli where they were tortured.

The case was opened in 2012 following the discovery of documents recovered during the Libyan revolution that appeared to show that Sir Mark Allen, the former head of counter-terrorism at MI6, and other agents had been complicit in the rendition of Abdel Hakim Belhadj, who was captured by the CIA with his pregnant wife and sent back to Libya.

The Telegraph reported that it understood that MI6 had been forced to hand over top secret documents from that period to police and that senior officers who served at the time have been interviewed as part of the investigation. But the newspaper reported that it is not known whether Mr Straw, who intelligence sources have indicated was fully briefed on the rendition, has also been interviewed by police.

The source’s claims reinforce those made publicly by Sir Richard Dearlove, the head of MI6 from 1999 to 2004, who said in a speech in 2012 that MI6’s cooperation with the CIA’s rendition programme was a “political” decision.

The source said: “Tony Blair absolutely knew, Dearlove was briefing him all the time. He was meticulous about keeping the politicians informed. Whether there was anything in writing, well that is a different matter,” added the source, who said it was laughable to suggest that the approval for British security services to cooperate with the CIA programme had been authorised by Mr Straw alone.

“The understanding at SIS [Secret Intelligence Service] was it was acting in the 'national interest’ and with clear political approval.

“SIS is not a rogue organisation. It would never do this kind of thing alone and without explicit authorisation; that is just not how it works.”

The British government has never formally admitted its role in rendition or officially apologised to victims, but it has paid out millions of pounds in “no fault” settlements to rendition victims and former Guantánamo Bay inmates who sued for damages.

This week, the US Senate voted to declassify a summary of a 6,300-page report into the CIA’s rendition programme in a move that legal experts say will put added pressure on the British government to come clean about its role.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democrat chairman of the committee that conducted the research, said the “shocking” report had “uncovered the facts” behind the secret programme and could be made public within 30 days following a security review by the White House and the CIA.

This story of investigations into child abuse at a guest house in London, and links with children's homes, rumbles on - with links to top political figures. But it will come out one day when the intimidation collapses and is no match for the truth. The Lib Dem's response is pathetic.

'Influential' politician visited guest house at centre of child sex investigation

Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP who exposed Cyril Smith as a paedophile, says an 'influential' politician visited a guest house at the centre of a child sex investigation

An “influential” politician who is still sitting in Parliament allegedly visited a guest house at the centre of a child sex investigation, the Labour MP who exposed Cyril Smith has claimed.

Simon Danczuk last week published a book on Cyril Smith which reignited the scandal over the former Liberal MP, who used his power and influence to abuse hundreds of boys for over four decades.

He told The Telegraph that during his investigations he interviewed a man who was sexually abused by Smith at the Elm Guest House when he was 16-years-old.

The man gave him the name of another parliamentarian who had visited the guest house, describing him as a “much bigger fish” and significantly “higher up the food chain”.

Mr Danczuk said. “He was saying ‘is the book not going to include this person, I think he knew much more. He was clearly giving the impression ‘never mind Smith, what about this person’. There is someone higher up the food chain, much more important.”


Police are investigating allegations that the Elm Guest House in south-west London was used by a “VIP” ring of paedophiles including politicians, high-ranking policemen and celebrities.

Mr Danczuk said he was passed the details of a man who was forced to work at the guest house when he was 16-years-old. The man, who feared for his life, said that Smith had visited him several times at the guest house.

He disclosed that on one occasion, 29-stone Smith got stuck in the sauna and had to be hoisted out. However, the individual assumed that Mr Danczuk’s book would be about another more senior politician who had visited the guest house.

Mr Danczuk said he is convinced that there was a “network of paedophiles” operating in the Commons who helped to protect Smith.
He said: “I think some of these people are still in Parliament. I don't think it's substantial, but everything would indicate that ring has existed for some time."

He also criticised the Liberal Democrats for failing to take the allegations seriously.

He said: “They have been defensive, slippery and shifty, they are a party in denial. I don't think they're fit for government. They are a small political party, I find it incredible that they are claiming that they didn't hear the rumours about Smith."

Last week Nick Clegg said that the allegations took place “well before the party I now lead even existed – in fact, took place before I even existed”.

He said that Lib Dem whips had asked MPs and peers whether they were aware of the allegations against Mr Smith in 2012, but they knew nothing.

However Lord Steel, the former Liberal leader, admitted last year that he had been aware of Cyril Smith's "unusual behaviour with boys" since 1979 but accepted his denials of wrongdoing.

In 1979 the Rochdale Alternative Press, a local magazine, published details of Smith’s abuse at Cambridge House. A spokesman for Lord Steel, then leader of the Liberal Party: "All he seems to have done is spanked a few bare bottoms."

Mr Danczuk said: “Nick Clegg has failed to show leadership on this,” he said. “It is pretty close to cowardice. In the 90s people went to jail over Tory sleaze, but nothing is happening here.”

Public Information Update from The Prosecutor’s Office of The International Common Law Court of Justice

Bulletin No. 3: Thursday, April 17, 2014 – 10 pm GMT

In the Matter of the People v. Bergoglio, Pachon, Welby and others charged with global child trafficking and ritual murder

Summary:

The Court adjourns for two weeks after the first round in the Prosecutor’s Case discloses the startling testimony of eight witnesses.

Two separate witnesses describe their alleged rape and ritual torture by chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio (alias “Pope Francis”) in 2009 and 2010.

The Chief Prosecutor establishes a link between the British, Dutch and Belgian royal families and the disappearances and killing of Mohawk children at the Church of England’s Brantford Indian residential school in Canada.

Jesuit records are introduced as evidence detailing the so-called “Magisterial Privilege” decreeing papal involvement in “Ninth Circle” ritual murder of newborn children. The same records identify Joseph Ratzinger as a member of the “Knights of Darkness” S.S. sacrificial cult during World War Two.

ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett is scheduled to testify before the Court during its second round of sessions in early May to corroborate witnesses’ testimonies from his own work and experience.

A prominent Vatican official initiates back channel communication with the Court and offers key evidence, as Magistrates consider extending closed Court sessions during May.

The Court and its affiliates will issue an Easter Proclamation this Sunday, April 20 and endorse public actions at the Vatican and Catholic churches across the world. Rev. Kevin Annett will lead a public ceremony of “exorcism and replacement” at a prominent Catholic cathedral on that day.

The Details:

Following eight days of Court procedure and the commencement of the Citizen Prosecutor’s case against the three chief defendants, the first Common Law adjudication of evidence concerning global child trafficking has adjourned for two weeks, until 10 am GMT on Monday, May 5, 2014.

Commencing on Tuesday, April 8 after an opening Court session the day before, the case by the Citizen Prosecutor’s Office presented evidence directly linking all three chief defendants with the planning and execution of child trafficking networks within the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and with the practice and concealment of the ritual rape, torture and killing of children.

Along with considerable documentation, the Prosecutor introduced notarized affidavit statements from eight eyewitnesses to these crimes, including videotaped interviews with two adolescent women who claim to have been tortured and raped by chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio, alias “Pope Francis”, during the spring of 2009 and 2010, at horrific cult functions connected to the “Ninth Circle” child sacrifice network.

“Survivors of these rituals describe newborn babies being chopped to pieces on stone altars, and their remains were then consumed by the participants” described the Chief Prosecutor to the Court.

“The survivors during the 1960′s period were forced to rape and mutilate other children, and then cut their throats with ceremonial daggers. Former Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, Dutch Cardinal Alfrink, and Prince Bernhard were among the cult participants, according to these survivors. But significantly, the more recent incidents in 2009 and 2010 involved exactly the same kinds of ritualized murder of newborn infants in rural Holland and Belgium.”

Other witnesses described their personal knowledge of efforts by the defendants to conceal the involvement of not only the Catholic and Anglican church, but the British, Belgian and Dutch royal families, in the ritual killing of Mohawk Indian children at the Brantford residential school in Ontario, Canada.

These killings span over seventy years and include the period between 1942 and 1945 when exiled Dutch Queen Wilhemina and her family lived in Canada, and participated in Ninth Circle rituals at the Mohawk Indian school.

Introduced documentation* indicates that, to assist and conceal such involvement of Dutch “royals” in these cult killings, the Canadian government and Privy Council Office in London granted “extra-territorial exemption” to the Dutch royals from all criminal, civil and military jurisdiction while in Canada. (* The Canada Gazette , Issue No. 232, December 26, 1942, Ottawa)

Dutch and Belgian royal participants in the rape and killing of Mohawk children and newborns included Bilderberger founder Crown Prince Bernhard and King Hendrick, consort to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.

As part of the Prosecutor’s corroborating evidence, secret archives from the Jesuit Order were introduced into the Court record that describe in detail the so-called “Magisterial Privilege” compelling the participation of every new Pope in the Ninth Circle sacrifice of new born children.

The records suggest that the Ninth Circle was established by the Jesuits just prior to their staged “disbandment” in 1773 and their establishment three years later of the so-called Illuminati cult, although references are also made to organized child sacrifice rituals at Catholic cathedrals in Rome as early as the year 1528.

The Chief Prosecutor told the Court,

“These archives clearly indicate a premeditated plan for centuries by the Jesuits to ritually murder kidnapped newborn babies and then consume their blood, born of a twisted notion of deriving spiritual power from the lifeblood of the innocent and thereby assuring the political stability of the Papacy in Rome. Every Pope was expected to and did in fact participate in these monstrous rituals … These acts are not only genocidal but systemic and institutionalized in nature, and indict the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits as a whole, and every Pope since at least in the year 1773.”

The same collection of Jesuit archival records make reference to a child sacrificial cult known as The Knights of Darkness, established by the Nazi Waffen S.S. Division in 1933 with Jesuit backing. The archives identify former Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, as a member of the Knights and as an S.S. Chaplain’s assistant at the Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany, where he participated in sacrificial rites using children transported to the camp or kidnapped from political prisoners.

The latter practice was a common Jesuit undertaking in Spain, Argentina and other fascist regimes, and one implicating chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio while he was a priest, Bishop and front man for the military junta in Argentina during the 1970′s.

ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett is scheduled to appear as a witness during the second session of the Court commencing Monday, May 5. Annett will provide thorough corroborating evidence and personal testimony to support the Prosecutor’s case and the evidence concerning the Brantford killings, gained over twenty years’ work with residential school survivors in Canada, including during his targeted persecution by church and state. (www,hiddennolonger.com)

Meanwhile, in startling related news, a senior Vatican official initiated a back channel communication with the Court last week in order to offer key evidence to the Prosecutor’s Office concerning its case against the chief defendants.

The Vatican official has requested strict anonymity and security, prompting the Court Magistrates to consider extending the closed sessions of the Court during its next round in May.

Finally, this Easter Sunday, April 20, the Court and its affiliates in twenty one countries will issue a Public Proclamation to be read at Catholic churches in Rome and dozens of other cities.

Rev. Kevin Annett will lead a public ceremony of “Exorcism and Replacement” at a central Catholic facility on that day, and similar ceremonies will be held at the Vatican and at many other catholic churches. Details of the event will be posted this Sunday evening GMT at www.itccs.org .

The Slung Stone called the Truth, and its Consequences: Living in a post-Goliath World

The Slung Stone called the Truth, and its Consequences:
Living in a post-Goliath World

Then David chose some smooth stones and put them in his bag, and he held his sling in readiness as he drew near to Goliath … – 1 Samuel 17:40

………

The Killing Stone called the Truth

I definitely know the score now. But even as the Goliath of Rome and London is staggering from the blow and is going down, some lingering stupid part of me still finds it not quite believable that the miracle has happened, and the battle is won. Even in victory, our minds linger in the past.

And so that odd part of me found it strange last week that no reporters were calling me up to ask me how I felt for being right, all this time; or that the United Church of Canada wasn’t banging on my door with a formal “We’re sorry!” for needlessly destroying my life over something that was actually true: their own murder of little brown kids.

Well of course they’re not phoning, you dummy! I said to stupid me. They’re fleeing for their lives!

Those Philistines in Church and State are not the issue any more, after all; especially now that they’re in head long retreat after the fall of their Goliath-like Lie, as they spread the distractions and politically correct rhetoric they need to cover their withdrawal. But in their wake, the rest of you now have to decide how you’re going to live in the great void and brilliant light left by their absence.

I met an insider today who worked for decades as a senior RCMP official. He told me that every Mountie in Canada has been told that “under no circumstances” are they to harass or engage or even question me. Why? Because of the recent Stand Down Order that our Common Law Court issued to every agent of the English Crown, after the latter was found guilty of Genocide last year. The Mounties are, in short, afraid of that Order, because, to quote the official,

“We all know what we did”.

The news from Rome is even more revealing. Apparently even the Mafia isn’t using the Vatican Bank to launder their drug money anymore since “even the blind can see that the Church is on its knees, and not in prayer”, to quote an Italian Senator. And apparently, two more prominent Cardinals connected to the Bank are about to throw in the towel.

All of that looks to me like a Titan named Goliath lying prone in the dust, waiting only for one who is bold enough to slice off his head with his own sword.

That blow is coming, but first I want to share what really brought the Beast down.

I just turned fifty eight in February, and my hips don’t work so well these days, which comes from having to walk everywhere with my weighty bags of documents. It wasn’t so twenty two years ago, when I still had a driver’s license and a salary, and when I first heard about the Port Alberni Killing Fields as a young United Church clergyman there.

The particularly incurable kind of war weariness that comes from having fought for so long hadn’t taken hold of me back then. I was as blind as the rest of you in those days, and in that way, quite happy. And a lot of my Indian friends were still breathing then, too: folks who you’ll never hear about except through me, who knew all about the murdered children, and had even helped bury them. But those friends of mine are dead now too. All of them.

Ricky Lavallee was one of them: he with his two stringed guitar and wry grin who always bummed the same two bucks off me for pizza before setting out with a few other survivors and me to create a nuisance on Sundays in the downtown Vancouver churches that hated the sight of us and what we knew of their filth. Ricky and six of us once stopped all the traffic along Georgia street with our banner that cried, “All the Children Need a Proper Burial”, and he was smiling the entire time.

Last year, somebody whacked Ricky in the chest so hard he died, not too long after he spoke publicly about seeing another one of our buddies, Bingo Dawson, get beaten by Vancouver cops so badly that he died, too. But since Bingo “officially” expired from “alcohol poisoning” … well, Ricky quickly became just another inconvenient eyewitness.

Pictures of Ricky Lavallee and Bingo Dawson should hang in every classroom in our new, burgeoning Republic of Kanata, for they, and other fallen heroes, were the force that propelled the stone that brought the criminals down.

… and its Consequences

Well wishers who routinely urge me to “Be Safe” these days really haven’t caught up with events. It’s the bad guys who like to pretend they’re in charge who have to watch their collective ass nowadays, not me, because, like the Mountie said, they know what they’ve done.

As a homeless firebrand in Galilee used to say all the time, the kingdom of heaven is everywhere on earth, yet people do not see it. That about sums up our situation now, in the wake of the legal and soon to be spiritual disestablishment of the Vatican and the Crown of England, and all of the countries and corporations they’ve spawned. We are free to remake the world and ourselves now, but only if we stop seeing and believing the illusions spun in our head by fictitious entities, starting with the so-called courts and governments and churches that can seem so real.

A new friend of mine in the Canadian midwest is a farmer and a hell of an expert on the common law. He puts things this way,

“There was once only the Natural Law governing men and women, the de jure law of God, of equality and peace. But then de facto legal power subverted lawful power, and the de facto force was the unlawful power of self-appointed kings and popes who ruled arbitrarily and not from the natural law. But then Magna Carta came along to restore Natural Law to mankind, yet once again, the de facto power has chipped away at that until justice is effectively abolished in all the so-called courts.

“Today, there are no more de jure courts or governments anywhere: they’re all private contractors for the corporations that run our world. So we are now abolishing those de facto corporate powers with Magna Carta once more, through the common law courts. But this time, the see saw battle has to end. The People have to finally reclaim the law and the earth if they’re to have a future.”

Fine, so many of you awakening people are responding. But HOW?

Our work is showing all of you not only the why but the how of displacing criminal institutions, and not simply by exposing the crimes. For the past year, we have formed training workshops to teach people the common law and deputize them to be the sheriffs and peace officers and jury members who will replace the corrupt, private commercial courts of today. And starting in May, groups around the world will be systematically enforcing the Stand Down Orders issued against the existing criminal authorities, whether they be cops, priests, judges, politicians or popes.

And to give things a really nice push at the higher levels, during the upcoming Easter weekend of April 18-20, we will be spiritually converging on Rome to nullify the authority and rule of the Vatican and the entity that controls it.

The sword is lifted to finally sever Goliath’s head, O people. The problem isn’t the lack of a blade, but the cowardice and conditioning of the mass of people. And that’s why it’s only the remnant of called out warriors who will be able to create the example and spark the enlightenment that will rally the millions who can reshape our world. And so the clarity and will of that Remnant is now the decisive issue.

The consequences of a well aimed death blow: you’ve got to love them! So prove to yourself, to God, and to our descendents, that you are worthy of the freedom that you have been given now by the blood and the sacrifice of a few of us.

“Label” this a Victory… “GMO Labeling Law Victory in Vermont!” (USA)

“Today, by a vote of 28-2, the Vermont state Senate passed H.112, a bill to require mandatory labeling of foods sold in Vermont that contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The bill also makes it illegal to call any food product containing GMOs “natural” or “all natural.” Unlike bills passed last year in Maine and Connecticut, which require four or five other states to pass GMO labeling laws before they can be enacted, Vermont’s law contains no “trigger” clauses, making it the first “clean” GMO labeling law in the country.

“The bill now goes back to the House which is expected to agree to the Senate’s amendments, then to Gov. Peter Shumlin who is expected to sign it.”

The last line of the law says, “This act shall take effect on July 1, 2014.”

Quango chief Tony Caplin quits after bankruptcy emerges

A businessman appointed by David Cameron to head a multibillion quango handling public money has quit after it was revealed he was bankrupt.

Tony Caplin, former Conservative Party chief operating officer, resigned as chairman of the Public Works Loans Board (PWLB) which is responsible for £60 billion of loans in infrastructure projects.

The Mail on Sunday reported that Number 10 was forced to act after an investigation it carried out revealed he had been made bankrupt in 2012.

Whitehall rules require anyone serving on a public body who is declared bankrupt to inform the responsible minister immediately.

A Government spokesman said: "Tony Caplin was appointed to a number of public bodies by the Labour Party. He was re-appointed to the PWLB by the Prime Minister.

"He should have declared he was bankrupt. This has been pointed out to him and as a result he has resigned."

Mr Caplin, a former chairman of stockbrokers Panmure Gordon where Mr Cameron's father Ian was a partner, has also left his post on the Medical Research Council.

He previously served on a number of other public bodies, including the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust where he was chairman until January of last year.

He has been a commissioner on the PWLB for 10 years and in July 2013, he was appointed chairman by Mr Cameron.

Senior Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who chairs the Commons Public Accounts Committee, told The Mail on Sunday: "This raises serious questions which should be investigated."

Shadow chief treasury secretary Chris Leslie said: "For him to be bankrupted in 2012 and appointed by the Prime Minister as chairman of this key Treasury body the following year is surely a misjudgement too far by a Prime Minister with a track record of poor judgment in relation to his cronies."

Good that the main stream media is getting behind the exposure of extensive abuse in children's homes over decades and the coverups. When will the big names come out and the intimidation stop on this?

Shamed Co-op boss is to be quizzed over cover-up of child sex at Cyril Smith school: Flowers targeted by QC over suppressed reports exposing horrific 'sweet shop for paedophiles'

At the time of Cyril Smith abuse, Flowers was vice-chairman of Rochdale Council's social services committee, which oversaw Knowl View School

The disgraced Methodist minister will be sent a letter demanding he answer inquiry's questions. Nine others will be put on notice in same way

The interviews will take place early next month

Former Co-op chairman Paul Flowers will be formally questioned about his role in an alleged ‘cover-up’ of appalling sex abuse at a school founded by paedophile MP Cyril Smith.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal the ex-Methodist minister faces an official inquiry into claims that he and others ignored a series of damning reports.

At the time, he was vice-chairman of Rochdale Council’s social services committee, which oversaw Knowl View School during a time it was described as ‘a sweet shop for paedophiles’.

Boys as young as seven were abused by Smith and his depraved cronies in what is now viewed as one of the country’s worst-ever child sex scandals.

Despite countless warnings, the authorities failed to act and the crimes at Knowl View – for children with learning difficulties and behavioural problems – were kept hidden from the public.

This week Flowers will receive a letter saying that he must answer questions from Andrew Warnock QC, who is leading the investigation into Rochdale Council’s handling of the allegations.

Nine others will be put on notice in the same way.

18 April Labour List

In praise of Simon Danczuk

Simon Danczuk has led the front pages this week with his explosive account of how an MP could hide a lifetime of abusing children.

The Westminster reaction to his Cyril Smith allegations? Embarrassed coughs.

Good on Simon for having the courage to speak his mind. Since his 2010 election, itself a feat of endurance, he’s demonstrated a forensic mind and a canny eye for a story. He represents a diminishing Westminster breed, a ‘character’ who speaks with an authentic voice and with conviction. In the bland world of party slogans and ‘lines to take,’ he stands out. I admire him.

And despite these qualities, maybe even because of them, I hope our colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party are rallying round to support Simon. Because he’s about to realise what it’s like to be on the receiving end of the liberal establishment at its most savage.

Our central concern should always be the survivors of sexual abuse.

Yet the daggers are already being sharpened in the salons of North London. ‘How can he serialise in the Mail?,’ ‘Why is he criticising Labour people?,’ and ‘He’s not a proper journalist’ are just three of the attacks I’ve heard whispered in the last few days.

This is an attempt to undermine the substance of his argument: that career child abuser Cyril Smith covered up his activities with the collaboration of colleagues in Westminster and beyond. Since then the fog of collective amnesia has enveloped his party and anyone ever associated Smith.

I’ve not yet read Simon’s book but I saw the report of television journalist Liz MacKean, who was one of the first to highlight that Special Branch intervened so that Cyril Smith died avoiding the justice which his victims deserved.

As Simon pointed out on Radio 4 yesterday, Smith is not the first MP to be named as a child abuser. Two former ministers have named Sir Peter Morrison as a ‘well-known pedarast’.

There are three things that need to happen in relation to these serious allegations.

First, all the child abuse inquires in local authorities, the NHS and other public institutions such as the BBC must be wrapped into one national independent review of historic abuse cases. In Australia, they’re having a Royal Commission. We could adopt the same practice. MPs of all parties have written to the PM urging him to make a decisive move in the right direction.

Secondly, let’s acknowledge what the police privately admit: investigating child abuse is hopelessly under-resourced. Worse, whistle-blowers in the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre tell me their work is being diluted as the National Crime Agency (NCA) absorbs them into the new organisation. Recent parliamentary questions have yielded obfuscated answers on how many dedicated specialist investigators with arrest powers are working full-time on abuse inquiries. One whistle-blower told me that a very senior director at the NCA said child abuse is ‘not their priority.’

What also needs to happen is for political parties to unite on child abuse. They need to work with campaign groups who wish to see the law changed so we have mandatory reporting of suspected abuse in regulated settings such as private boarding schools. There’s a remarkable man called Tom Perry who runs the organisation Mandate Now- he needs our support.

I’ve already documented my reasons for asking the Prime Minister about an historic case of child abuse in October 2012.

Since then, there have been numerous arrests and people are facing charges, so I have to be careful what I write.

But I can say there have been some shocking claims made, many of which police are investigating.

The source of my original question is a retired child protection officer who was working with the Met police on a major child abuse inquiry in the 1990s. Their inquiries began to focus on a theory that an MP was involved with a group of known child abusers. At this point, the investigation was, according to my source, shut down after “orders from on high.”

Others were given the courage to contact me after the press picked up my parliamentary question and police launched an investigation into the alleged crimes.

The former civil servant who told me how he raised concerns that taxpayers may have been asked to fund the Paedophile Information Exchange has co-operated with the police but we await the results of the internal inquiry at the Home Office, set up last November.

The official also shared an interesting anecdote. The civil servant at the Home Office in charge of the budget that may have funded PIE was called to a crisis meeting at the Reform Club on the day the scandal involving Jeremy Thorpe broke in the newspapers.

In an interview at the time, Cyril Smith showed how he had some decision over the fate of his leader saying “Mr Thorpe had advised me that if I went to him and said that in my view he should resign then he would resign. I’ve not been to him and said that and I have no intention of going to him and saying that and so Mr Thorpe has not offered his resignation.”

Thorpe did eventually resign and was replaced by David Steel in July 1976, who made Smith the party’s Social Services spokesman, despite their relationship according to Smith being “not frigid but not at a high temperature”.

Even accounting for the times, Smith’s approach to his brief was distinctly illiberal. In a letter of complaint to the editor of Social Work Today in May 1977 he said “You describe myself as a ‘political buffoon’. All this is apparently because…in my view on occasions a juvenile offender was a case for a good hiding rather than a child psychiatrist”

Then there’s the matter of child abuser Peter Righton. I’m working with a number of courageous and dedicated former child protection workers who are concerned that Righton, after his conviction, retired to a cottage on the estate of Lord Henniker.

Henniker continued to allow his estate to be used by the Islington Suffolk project that gave holidays to vulnerable children from Islington. Many of the children were in the care system at a time when Islington was thought to have had a major problem with child abuse in its care homes. The retired social workers tell me that even despite the Chief Constable of Suffolk visiting personally to warn Henniker that Righton was a career paedophile, and would put the dozens of young boys who visited Thornham Magna at risk, he ignored this advice and Righton lived there until his death in 2008

My team have had two meetings with the woman who alleges rape by a man who went on to be a senior minister. It’s being investigated.

The child of a former MP came to see me alleging his father was an abuser. He claimed a teacher had told him his father had acted inappropriately with a child at a school and that it was covered up.

In a meeting in North Wales I met councillor who told me of police intimidation when he first raised concerns about child abuse in Bryn Alyn all those years ago.

All these people who’ve had misgivings are credible, honourable and decent. They believe that child abuse was covered up because powerful people wanted it to be so.

Yet there have also been a number of time-consuming false leads. The photograph of the cabinet minister at a ‘kings and queens’ party, as far as I can tell, does not exist. The story of the MP who abused his agent’s son is a myth. There are two vulnerable survivors who are undoubtedly the victims of abuse but it’s unlikely to have been carried out by a former minister as they claim, or at least their recollection of events is not good enough to stand up to detailed scrutiny.

Why do I reference these stories? Because they’re all scenarios that have been put to me as working theories by a number of journalists. Some journalists who called me have even investigated the claims, but not many. Those that do, embark on a complex trail that is yet to yield hard evidence.

Why is it important to know this? I say it because right now the Daily Mail is leading a campaign for deeper investigation into historic cases of abuse. Yet at any point in the future they are just as likely to do a ‘reverse ferret’ and claim that many allegations of sexual abuse involving politicians are sensationalised. Last year, after raising the question in Parliament, a columnist in the Mail described me as the ‘nonce finder general.’ They can’t make their mind up. But if you’re the Daily Mail, you don’t have to.

That’s why Simon Danczuk needs our support. There are many survivors of sexual abuse now depending on him, those who have never received justice and whose lives have been destroyed by the impact of child abuse.

As with Savile, the question we all have to ask ourselves is this: ‘How can an MP abuse kids and get away with it?’
