Clinton’s last day: Resignation, farewell to staff, disappointment at critics; Kerry sworn in

By Associated Press, Published: February 1

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as America’s secretary of state, capping a four-year tenure that saw her shatter records for the number of countries visited. John Kerry was sworn in to replace her.

In a letter sent to President Barack Obama shortly before she left the State Department for the last time in her official capacity, Clinton thanked her former opponent for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for the opportunity to serve in his administration. Clinton said it had been an honor to be part of his Cabinet.

I am more convinced than ever in the strength and staying power of America’s global leadership and our capacity to be a force for good in the world,” she said in the letter.

Her resignation became effective at 4 p.m. EST, when Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan swore in John Kerry as the top U.S. diplomat. The former Massachusetts senator and 2004 presidential candidate is the 68th secretary of state.

“I’m just very, very honored to be sworn in and I’m very anxious to get to work,” Kerry told reporters after the private ceremony at the Capitol. “I’ll be reporting Monday morning at 9 o’clock to do my part,” he said, but he refused to say what global hotspot he would visit first.

In the State Department’s main lobby, Clinton pushed through a throng of American foreign service workers who clamored for handshakes and smartphone photos with her and gave an emotional goodbye speech.

She told them to continue to “serve the nation we all love, to understand the challenges, the threats and the opportunities that the United States faces and to work with all our heart and all of our might to make sure that America is secure, that our interests are promoted and our values are respected.”

Clinton, however, also left office with a slap at critics of the Obama administration’s handling of the September attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya. She told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that critics of the administration’s handling of the attack don’t live in an “evidence-based world,” and their refusal to “accept the facts” is unfortunate and regrettable for the political system.

Clinton told the AP that the attack in Benghazi was the low point of her time as America’s top diplomat. But she suggested that the furor over the assault would not affect whether she runs for president in 2016.

Although she insisted that she has not decided what her future holds, she said she “absolutely” still plans to make a difference on issues she cares about in speeches and in a sequel to her 2003 memoir, “Living History,” that will focus largely on her years as secretary of state.

Clinton spoke to the AP Thursday in her outer office on the seventh floor of the State Department less than 24 hours before she walks out for a final time as boss. She was relaxed but clearly perturbed by allegations from Republican lawmakers and commentators that the administration had intentionally misled the public about whether the attack was a protest gone awry or a terrorist attack, or intentionally withheld additional security for diplomatic personnel in Libya knowing that an attack could happen.

More on the UK sexual abuse investigations and past failed investigations.... this is coming out in the Daily Mail - UK mainstream media. Looks to me as tho' chunks of it are taken from information from some of the internet blogs on the subject.

Timebomb at Elm Guest House: Pop stars, a bishop and a top politician appear on a list seized by police investigating child abuse at the London hotel in the 1980s

Police have reopened investigation after new information emerged that suggests the hotel was a venue for a paedophile ring of VIPs

Former co-owner Carole Kasir said to have list of high-profile visitors

Could this be the biggest Establishment cover-up yet?

Peter Hatton-Bornshin killed himself six days after his 28th birthday. He had taken an overdose of codeine and choked to death. ‘The tragic end to a tragic life,’ is how the coroner summed up the stark facts presented to the inquest.

And who at the time would disagree? Peter was only a baby when his father died in an accident. He was orphaned at 13 when his mother threw herself in front of a train. His stepfather then handed Peter and his older brother to social services.

And that is how Peter ended up at the Grafton Close Children’s Home, which was run by Richmond borough council in South-West London. Truly, he was a lost soul.

When his life finally came to an end in a Kingston-upon-Thames bedsit, he left a note which explained that he feared he would be unable to control his violent fantasies against women if he remained alive.

This personality disorder had caused him briefly to be a patient at Broadmoor mental hospital. His case worker said that while he did not consider Peter to be a danger to society, his mental problems were partly a result of the abuse he had suffered while in local authority care. One line in his suicide note seemed to refer to this. It read: ‘I will get those bastards.’

But while it was the ‘tragic end to a tragic life’, his story does not finish there.

Eighteen years after his death, the police are again looking at the Peter Hatton-Bornshin case, as part of a wider investigation, launched last month, into allegations that in the early Eighties a paedophile ring of VIPs preyed on boys from the Grafton Close Children’s Home.

If the historic allegations at the heart of Operation Fernbridge are proved, they would represent one of the more sensational and disturbing Establishment sex scandals of the modern era.

Long-existing allegations of a cover-up would again have to be aired.

During a police raid on a property in central London last month, detectives seized a list of names of high-profile alleged visitors to the Elm Guest House in Barnes, South-West London — a gay-friendly establishment, and one where under-age rent boys and children from the Grafton Close home were reportedly brought to have sex with adult men.

The list includes a number of senior MPs, a high-ranking policeman, a leading tycoon, figures from the National Front and Sinn Fein, an official of the Royal Household, an MI5 officer, two pop stars and the traitorous Soviet spy Anthony Blunt.

Cyril Smith, the late Liberal MP for Rochdale, has already been named as a regular at the guest house, where he allegedly met teenage rent boys when the homosexual age of consent was 21.

The guest house has also been linked to a now-defunct Tory fringe group that promoted homosexual rights.

Operation Fernbridge detectives are also believed to be on the trail of almost two dozen photographs that are supposed to have been taken by the guest-house owner — which place a number of these figures from the worlds of politics, showbusiness and national security at her establishment.

Some pictures are said to show these men in the company of under-age boys.
New police interest in the Elm Guest House allegations stems from October last year, when the campaigning Labour MP Tom Watson called for an investigation into the political links of one Peter Righton, a notorious paedophile who had first been exposed 20 years before.

In September 1992, Righton pleaded guilty to three charges of importing or possessing obscene material — paedophile gay porn — after customs officers at Dover intercepted two packages addressed to him.
It was a squalid case that in other circumstances might have warranted only local interest.

But Righton, then aged 66, was no ordinary child sex offender. He had been a very senior and respected figure in the field of residential child care, and a former consultant to the charity the National Children’s Bureau, whose patrons included the then Health Minister, Virginia Bottomley.

After his conviction, it emerged that Righton was a founder member of the Paedophile Information Exchange — a contact group for men interested in sex with children. He is now believed to be dead.

Westminster sources say that following his intervention in the House, Mr Watson received more than 200 phone calls, many of them from alleged victims of paedophile abuse by public figures unconnected with Righton. The MP passed the information on to the police.

Righton’s links to figures in the Thatcher government are still being assessed by detectives.
The Mail understands that no formal decision has been taken yet on whether Watson’s allegations will be formally probed.

However, one person who contacted Mr Watson had specific information about boys from Grafton Close Children’s Home being abused at the Elm Guest House.

In 1982, Britain was a very different place for gay males than it is today. Only 15 years had passed since homosexual acts between consenting adults had been decriminalised.

Gay public figures did not come out of the closet voluntarily and places where they met were still necessarily discreet. Apparently one such rendezvous was the Elm Guest House in Rocks Lane, Barnes.

It was only yards from Barnes Common, which was, and still is, a well-known gay cruising ground.
Run by Indian-born Haroon Kasir and his German wife Carole, the guest house was openly advertised in the gay press of the time as nothing more sinister than a place where homosexual men could meet.
There was a sauna with ‘video facilities’ and a solarium.

One publication to ‘strongly recommend’ the guest house to its readers was the newsletter of the Conservative Group for Homosexual Equality. There is a review of it in a June 1982 edition.

The CGHE campaigned for the lowering of the gay age of consent to 16.
One of its chairmen was Ian Harvey, a junior foreign office minister who was forced to quit government in 1958 after being caught having sex with a Coldstream guardsman in a London park.

Other residents of Rocks Lane were aware that the Elm Guest House was unlike the other small hotels in what was then a ‘scruffy’ area. Some understood it to be a brothel.

Yesterday, another long-time resident told us: ‘It had a reputation. Somebody told me that their daughter had come home and saw a lot of naked men in the front room as she walked past.

‘She was very shocked. I don’t know if she made a complaint to police about it. I just assumed it was a male brothel.’
The woman, who did not wish to be named, witnessed a 1982 police raid which saw Mr and Mrs Kasir and two others arrested. One of those detained was a 17-year-old rent boy who acted as ‘in-house masseur’.

We understand he was a teenage actor who had appeared on television in Doctor Who, as well as on stage at a Royal Command performance.

The youth — paid more than £100 a night when working at Elm Guest House — was initially charged with assisting in running the brothel.

The charge was later dropped. This week, he declined to comment when approached by the Mail.
Undercover police officers had been inside the property for a number of days posing as clients, while watching sex parties that took place there.

A planned police raid had to be brought forward after a hidden police radio was activated by accident. Officers had hoped to catch several dozen clients — and who knows how many public figures — but there were fewer than ten customers there when the operation was compromised.

The Kasirs were subsequently charged with running a disorderly house. At the Old Bailey the following year they were convicted, fined and given suspended sentences.

All other charges in relation to the raid had been dropped by then.
We understand that the police had become interested in the guest house not simply because it was a male brothel, but because of concerns for an under-age boy at the address.

At the time of the raid, the child was removed from the premises and placed in local authority care.

So where was the child ‘safely’ accommodated following his rescue? At the Grafton Close Children’s Home in Hounslow, some eight miles away . . .
Several figures at the centre of these allegations are no longer alive. One of them is Carole Kasir, a diabetic, who died of an insulin overdose aged 48, in 1990.

Shortly after her death, a child protection campaigner from the National Association Of Young People In Care (NAYPIC) called for a criminal investigation into events at Elm Guest House.

The campaigner claimed that he had been told by Mrs Kasir that boys had been brought in from a children’s home for sex. She had told him she had photographs or video of many establishment figures at her hotel, including a bishop.
One photograph allegedly showed a former cabinet minister in a sauna with a naked boy.

The same campaigner told us this week that he could not speak at length because the police wanted to interview him.
However, he claimed he knew of 11 boys from Grafton Close Children’s Home who had been abused at the Elm Guest House.

He added: ‘Carole Kasir had logbooks, names, times, dates, even pictures of people who went in and out of Elm Guest House. Her house was raided in the Eighties.

‘The police say it was done by a local force, but I know it was done by Special Branch. That evidence — of who visited Elm Guest House — no longer exists.

‘I’ll leave people to draw their own conclusions, but Carole Kasir was held without charge for three days, and you don’t do that on a run-of-the-mill vice raid. There was more to it than that.’
He added: ‘There were boys found in the home, but they were only ever interviewed as witnesses to the brothel, never as victims of abuse.

‘I won’t say any more as I don’t want to risk prejudicing this inquiry, because finally it seems the police are doing the right thing.’

The same allegations were pursued for several years by Mary Moss, a former colleague of the campaigner at NAYPIC (which is now defunct).

Ms Moss is clearly a troubled soul, who on her blog website claims that she, too, was abused as a child.
In another online posting, apparently written by her, she described meeting Carole Kasir. ‘She told me she was running a hotel and had some fab parties.

‘Yes, there were prominent people there but, hey, this was a nice suburb and [the guest house] was her business . . . but it was only on that night the police raided, when she stupidly thought it was just gay-bashing, that her eyes were peeled open for years to come about what was going on under her nose.’

Ms Moss believes Carole Kasir was murdered to cover up for the famous people who had used her brothel.
Detectives now investigating the allegations of paedophilia at Rocks Lane have been in a protracted dialogue with Ms Moss, which led to them executing a search warrant on her home in central London last month. There is no suggestion that she was involved in any offences.

What, then, is the truth about Elm Guest House and Grafton Close Children’s Home, which have both long since closed?
The acid test for the Operation Fernbridge detectives is whether or not — as happened in the Jimmy Savile child sex abuse inquiry — there is now an ‘avalanche’ of credible witnesses and victims, encouraged by this new investigation to unburden themselves after years of nursing horrible secrets.

The police need several victims telling the same stories in order to make a case.
The fallout from the Savile revelations means there is renewed interest in historic child abuse allegations against famous figures. And the police do not want to be accused of doing nothing again.

We have seen in the case of Lord McAlpine what can happen when an apparently politically-motivated witchhunt latches onto an innocent man.

But there is the other, longer-term human cost. The abused can become abusers in a perpetual cycle. Such might have been the case with the tragic figure of Peter Hatton-Bornshin.

At his inquest, the coroner paid tribute to him by saying: ‘It is clear he had decided to avoid causing any distress or grief to other people by taking his own life.’

But were Peter’s traumatic ‘fantasies’ really about women?
A child protection campaigner told us this week: ‘Peter was a victim at Elm Guest House in the Seventies — but by the time I knew of him in the Eighties, he was an abuser.

‘He had been groomed as a child, but he crossed the line at some stage: as an adult, he was organising the abuse of kids. By the mid-1980s we were pushing for his arrest. We weren’t treating him as a victim any more.’

Naming Names

Over the last few days I’ve named a number of living people who are likely to be ‘people of interest’ to the Operation Fernbrigde paedophile investigation. It may well be that some people might come to The Needle looking to find out if I’m going to name more. I’m not, and I’d like to explain why. I have a very large list of names but it is very difficult to identify some people 100%. Some of them I can identify 99% but on something as serious as this I need to be absolutely sure. I do not put myself above the law and any of those living people could sue me if they believe that what I’ve published is inaccurate. Though I doubt any will as I can easily demonstrate that each post is accurate.

It may also be that someone I named would like to contact me and explain why it is that their name is on the list. I always keep an open mind and I can assure anyone who did contact me would receive the same confidentiality that everyone else who contacts me is assured of. My email address - see at link.
I would also like to guarantee a right to reply on this blog for anyone I’ve named, however critical it is of me.

For now, I’ve listed everyone alive and dead that I’ve named for easy reference.

Naming The Living – Part 1
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that the then Chief Secretary to the Treasury, later Home Secretary,and current Trade advisor to this Coalition Government, Leon Brittan was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such Leon Brittan is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

Leon Brittan left British politics suddenly in 1989 to become a European Commissioner after receiving a Knighthood.. He became Baron Brittan of Spennithorne in 2000.

As Home Secretary, with oversight of the police and the judiciary, he took a slow, ‘step by step’ approach to requests that the then legal organisation, The Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), should be outlawed. He was presented with lists of known perpetrators and members of PIE. It is unclear at this stage what action, if any, he took.

Naming The Living – Part 2
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that[B] Cliff [/B]Richard, Pop Star and Actor, was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such Cliff Richard is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

Cliff Richard is currently on tour in New Zealand.

Naming The Living – Part 3
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that Jess Conrad, Singer and Actor, was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such Jess Conrad is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

Naming The Living – Part 4
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that the then Conservative MP for Woolwich West, Peter Bottomley, was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such Peter Bottomley is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

Peter Bottomley later served in Margaret Thatcher’s Government in the Department for Employment , Department of Transport , and in the Northern Ireland Office.

Naming The Living – Part 5
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that the then Conservative MP for Basildon from 1979 to 1983 and later for Billericay from 1983 to 1987, Shirt Shop Proprietor, now Private Secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Rutland , was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such Harvey Proctor is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

In 1987, Harvey Proctor was charged with gross indecency, he pleaded guilty and was fined a total of £1,450.

Naming The Living – Part 6
I can confirm that documents seized under warrant by members of the Operation Fairbank police investigation team (now Operation Fernbridge) as evidence in the Elm Guest House paedophile scandal (1979-1982) allege that George Tremlett, former deputy leader of the Greater London Council, Author, and Bookshop Owner , was a regular visitor to the guest house where the abuse of young boys trafficked in from local care homes took place.

As such George Tremlett is likely to be a ‘person of interest’ to the police in regards to the Operation Fernbridge paedophile investigation.

Naming The Dead – Part 1
I can confirm that Cyril Smith the former Liberal MP was a guest at the Elm Guest House and is therefore implicated in the paedophile scandal currently being investigated by the Operation Fairbank team.

Naming The Dead – Part 2
I can confirm that former leader of the far right wing organisation The British Movement, Colin Jordan, was a guest of the Elm Guest House and is therefore also implicated in the ongoing Operation Fairbank investigation.

Naming The Dead – Part 3
An MP called Ron Brown was a regular guest at the Elm Guest House and is therefore implicated in the Operation Fairbank investigation.

The MP in question used the pseudonym ‘Naismith’.

Ronald Brown MP (English Labour and then SDP)

Naming The Dead – Part 4
I can confirm that Charles Irving MP (Conservative), later Sir Charles Irving, was a guest at the Elm Guest House and is therefore implicated in the Operation Fairbank investigation. Sir Charles Irving was a member of the ‘Monday Club’.

Naming The Dead – Part 5
I can confirm that Ray Wyre British criminologist and pioneer in the treatment of sex offenders, was a guest of the Elm Guest House and is therefore implicated in the ongoing Operation Fairbank investigation.

Naming The Dead – Part 6
Finally (today) I can confirn that Anthony Blunt, art historian and spy, was a guest at the Elm Guest House and therefore is also implicated in the ongoing Operation Fairbank investigation. He used the pseudonym ‘Goldstein’

The dead can’t sue for libel, nor can they be prosecuted.

But the living should take note, your names are no longer a secret and it is only because I want to see you all prosecuted that I don’t name you also.

Naming The Dead – Part 7
I can confirm that Commander Michael Testrail, disgraced former royal equerry, and the butt of the above joke, visited Elm Guest House and although now dead is therefore implicated in the Operation Fairbank investigation.

Notice how this bogus letter is also satirically signed by Sir Anthony Blunt who regular readers will have read is also implicated ? See Here. It must have been common knowledge amongst those in the know………..

Notice the mention of Kincora Boy’s Home as their address ?

You might consider that this is a sick joke on part of Private Eye, or you might think that this is an open and not too subtle implication of another establishment paedophile cover-up.

You decide.

I’m only passing on the information.

(see top link for copy of bogus article in satirical magazine Private Eye.

Naming The Dead – Part 8
I can confirm that Professor Peter Campbell, founding head of the Department of Politics and International Relations at Reading University, and author, was a guest at the Elm Guest House and therefore is also implicated in the ongoing Operation Fairbank investigation.

2 Top Officers at Barclays to Step Down

LONDON – Barclays said on Sunday that its chief financial officer and its general counsel would resign, the latest departures after the British bank’s involvement in a series of scandals, including an investigation into the manipulation of global interest rates.

The announcement comes less than two weeks before Barclays is to announce a far-reaching overhaul of its business. The finance chief, Christopher G. Lucas, and the group general counsel, Mark Harding, will remain in their jobs until the bank appoints their successors, Barclays said in a statement.

Mr. Lucas is one of four current and former Barclays executives who have been ensnared by a regulatory investigation into how the bank raised capital from a Qatari fund during the financial crisis.

Antony P. Jenkins, the bank’s chief executive, said Mr. Lucas and Mr. Harding told him late last year that they were considering resigning.

“The rationale which each shared with me was consistent and, typically, grounded in wanting to do what is best for the bank,” Mr. Jenkins said. “Their decision to retire was theirs alone.”

Mr. Lucas said it was an “appropriate time, as we start the implementation of the transform program, to begin my retirement from my role on the board and executive committee, and to pass the mantle on to a successor.”

Since taking over the top job from Robert E. Diamond Jr. last year, Mr. Jenkins has been seeking to repair the bank’s reputation and regain trust among investors by improving profitability and reducing risks.

Mr. Diamond resigned amid an investigation into the bank’s role in the manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, which Barclays settled for $450 million in June. Marcus Agius resigned as chairman, and the chief operating officer, Jerry del Missier, also left Barclays.

Mr. Jenkins said on Friday that he would give up his bonus for 2012, which could have totaled as much as $4.3 million, under some pressure from lawmakers. The bank also recently faced a $1 billion bill to compensate clients to whom it inappropriately sold payment insurance, and it might yet have to compensate some customers that had bought a certain interest rate-hedging product.

In the statement, Mr. Jenkins said he planned to turn Barclays into the “go to” bank for customers and said the planned changes were expected to take five to 10 years.

Mr. Lucas became finance chief in 2007. He previously worked for the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he was head of financial services in Britain.

Mr. Harding joined Barclays in 2003 from the law firm Clifford Chance. He is also chairman of the bank’s reputation council.

Julia Gillard cabinet reshuffle: new ministers sworn in

Two senior ministers resigned from government after Australian prime minister set election date of 14 September

Julia Gillard has sworn in a new cabinet to replace two senior ministers who quit their posts a few days after the Australian prime minister named 14 September as the date for general elections.

The reshuffle was forced by the surprise resignations of the two government ministers at the weekend. The attorney general, Nicola Roxon, and the Labor party's Senate leader, Chris Evans, cited personal reasons for their decisions to quit the front bench and make an exit from politics.

Nine ministers were sworn in, three for the first time, at a ceremony in Canberra on Monday ahead of parliament sitting on Tuesday for the first time this year.

Gillard has said she expects to make no further changes to her ministers before the elections, which were surprisingly announced last Wednesday.

Evans will leave the Senate once a replacement is chosen from within the Labor party ranks. Roxon will stay on until the next election.

The first major opinion polls published since Gillard last week named the election date showed opposition leader Tony Abbott's Liberal-National conservative coalition clearly ahead of Gillard's Labor party.

Newspoll on Monday found support for Labor was trailing the coalition 44% to 56%. A Newspoll survey in mid-January gave the coalition a shorter lead, 51% to 49%. A poll by Sydney-based Galaxy Research found the coalition was leading Labor 54% to 46%.

Connecting the OPPT Dots: More Evidence that the
Off-ledger Global Accounts Are Real

Connecting the OPPT Dots: More Evidence that the Off-ledger Global Accounts Are Real
by Paula

• • •

Gotta ask: what is the nature of the fraudulent activity that major banks have undertaken?

As best I can tell, national and international banks, like the governments reporting to them, follow a business model that leans entirely on enormous off-ledger accounts backed by undisclosed gold holdings. All banking transactions are fully backed by gold, secured in a series of public trusts that were originally intended to be payable to each person on earth. Bank principals do not disclose this fact to their customers.

The public trusts in question are very old and they are astronomically valuable. The One People's Public Trust, for example, assigns a minimum value of five billion gold-backed U.S. dollars to each citizen of earth, irrespective of nationality. Keeping these points in mind sheds new light on standard banking transactions. Let's consider a handy example.

Effectively, when a bank customer requests money in the form of a 'loan', the bank immediately covers the full amount of that 'loan' by drawing funds from the customer's public trust account, via a computer link to a central bank. The bank records the transaction by adding the amount of the so-called 'loan' to its own asset base. In this way, the customer's debt is paid as soon as that debt is created on the bank's ledger. This is the point in the transaction at which fraud is committed: the bank does not tell the customer that the bank has already been paid. Instead, the bank tells the customer that a 'loan' has just been created in the customer's name, and insists that the customer must pay the bank the full amount of that 'loan', plus compound interest, by some assigned future date. This is the mechanism by which a bank creates money ex nihilo, 'from nothing'.

It strikes me that this may still seem a tad implausible, so let's investigate further. AK on this blog and D at Removing the Shackles have helpfully been providing us with documents over the past several days that trace the shadowy outline of yet another public trust.

So how does this connect to Ferdinand Marcos's will and the Philippines' gold?

In recent posts, AK has presented a copy of Ferdinand Marcos's Last Will and Testament and also a copy of an intriguing agreement between Marcos and a person named Anthony Santiago Martin. AK's transcription of Marcos's barely legible will clears our vision. As Sophia Love says, "The gift of this moment is clarity... We have only to choose where to focus." [ LINK: http://obiwankabuki.blogspot.ca/2013...d-glasses.html ]

Now we can see the provenance of the Philippine gold, because Marcos's will outlines a trail going back a thousand years. Indeed, we read that:

"[t]he blissful period of pre-Hispanic Philippines clearly indicates a sophisticated cultured people who focused on peaceful commercial trade, maritime exploration while maintaining friendly and viable economic relations with their neighbors. A far cry from the depictions made by European historians who portrayed a people whose existence began as a colony of Spain and for many years was deemed as the only source for the study of Philippine history." [ LINK: Charity Beyer, The Philippines Before Magellan http://ebookbrowse.com/the-philippin...doc-d143095187 ]

A vast amount of wealth existed under Marcos's charge. The details of both documents, Marcos's will and the 'Ultimate Agreement', caught my attention right away. Both documents repeat the names and features that had me scratching my head when I earlier looked at information concerning off-ledger trusts: Spiritual Wonder Boy... King ASM... Those 'infinity' symbols again... [LINK to 'OPPT Shoe Dropped' http://americankabuki.blogspot.ca/20...ence-that.html ]

After further head-scratching, here's what I've provisionally discerned:

In 1945, Marcos "was the lawyer utilized by Sta. Romano, aka Antonio Diaz (plus many other pseudo names) who was a CIA agent, Ambassador for the Vatican and working closely with General McArthur and General Lansdale. At the time the Philippines was American Territory. At that time Marcos was just a good lawyer, but he eventually became a Congressman, then Senator, then President. Marcos was appointed the Custodian of the assets held in the Philippines, whilst he was still just a lawyer which continued through until 1986... without the signature of the Primary Custodian no one could do anything with the assets, so effectively Marcos had full control of the assets... It was Marcos who appointed Spiritual Wonder Boy and the others (as he was legally [able] to do) based upon his trust in these people and their faith and honesty." [ LINK: Philippines: Wealthiest Nation on Earth http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/inde...&#entry4789683 ]

As we know courtesy of AK's transcript, Marcos signed a will dated December 20, 1985, leaving the assets in his charge to the people of the Philippines and entrusting management of the assets to one Anthony Santiago Martin, aka. 'King ASM'. Meanwhile, back at the palace,

"Marcos refused to 'play ball' with President Reagan when Reagan, a long-time associate of Marcos, requested (unsuccessfully) that the Philippine dictator provide Washington with a hoard of black gold to back Reagan's new 'Rainbow Dollar', which was an attempt by the American president to create a new gold-backed U.S. currency. When Washington became aware that Marcos was essentially getting 'too big for his britches,' it was decided that he needed to be removed from power so that the U.S. could gain full access to the hoards of gold hidden away within Malacanang Palace, the official residence of the Philippine president. Thus, the seeds of revolution were sown, and the masses were stirred up in a revolt against their currently sitting president." [ LINK: New Tomorrow Part II: The Off-Ledger, Occult Economy http://newtomorrow.us/part2.html]

By the time that Marcos died in 1989, Cory Aquino was President of the Philippines. She was not receptive to Marcos's last wishes. At this point, I can contribute another document to the pile. In 2009, the Supreme Court in Manila ruled that Imelda Marcos and her son, Ferdinand II, should continue to control the assets as the executors of Marcos's will, notwithstanding a the prosecution of a lawsuit on behalf of the Philippine people to have the assets repatriated to them directly: [ G.R. Nos. 130371 &130855 http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprud...371_130855.htm ]

Where do we go with all this info? Where did the gold wind up? How does this connect back to OPPT? Let's consider what Heather Tucci-Jarraf, Trustee of the One People’s Public Trust has to say on the subject:

“From the old paradigm banking position, right now, the People’s Trust and the One People, All Equally, have the only valid, lawful, legal commercial paper worth anything on the Planet! And as far as what’s backing it, truly what’s backing it is Prime Value, but as of right now, all the gold, silver and precious metals is backing it!”

Well, amen to that.

Is Osborne brushing the dust off a white hat, or is this empty rhetoric fed to the compliant press. Banks aren't happy which must be a good thing ...

George Osborne threatens to break up banks

The chancellor will issue separation warning to institutions that flout the rules over high street and investment
banking divisions

George Osborne will threaten to break up banks if they flout new rules intended to prevent another taxpayer bailout of the financial system.

The chancellor's pledge to force through changes to the industry came amid continued upheaval at Barclays , which is losing two more top executives after being hit by a £290m fine for rigging Libor, the rate at which banks lend to each other. Royal Bank of Scotland also faces a £500m fine for manipulating the key interest rate.

Osborne will publish legislation to ringfence high street banking operations from so-called "casino" investment banking arms and go one step further by handing regulators symbolically important powers to punish those banks which fail to erect the division correctly.

"My message to the banks is clear: if a bank flouts the rules, the regulator and the Treasury will have the power to break it up altogether - full separation, not just ring fence," Osborne is expected to say.

In his speech in Bournemouth, Osborne will not bash banks, instead blame Labour for the regulatory system that led to the bank bailout and outline changes he is making to break up the Financial Services Authority and hand more powers to the Bank of England.

"Any bunch of politicians can bash the banks, chase the headlines, court the populist streak. But what good would that do our country? The jobs, the investment, the banking system we all need would go with it. Let's take the anger we feel about the banks and turn it into change to build the banking system that works for us all," said Osborne.

The announcement by Barclays that Chris Lucas, its finance director since 2007, is planning to retire, came alongside an announcement that general counsel Mark Harding is also preparing to leave after 10 years. Their departures are the latest management upheaval at the bank which has also lost its chief executive, Bob Diamond, chairman Mark Agius and chief operating officer Jerry del Missier in the wake of the Libor scandal.

Lucas has health problems which have had a bearing on his decision to retire but have not affected his ability to do his job. He also faces an investigation by the City regulator about disclosures the bank made during a 2008 fundraising that prevented Barclays taking a taxpayer bailout. He will stay on until his successor is found.

The bank insists that the disclosures it made when it raised the crucial lifeline from investors, including from the Gulf state of Qatar, were adequate. Lucas is one of four current and former Barclays bankers' being investigated.

With RBS facing a multi-million pound fine for Libor rigging, Osborne has called on the bailed out bank to use its bonus pool to pay the penalty, the majority of which will go the US regulators.

Labour's shadow Treasury minister accused the chancellor of "rhetoric".

Also on the ratings issue, David Wilcock recently ran a story about Nielsen being sued by India's largest TV network over fraud last year. He noted the major power outages in India and massive floods after this. People have also noted the inexplicable power outage at the Superbowl recently. All those pieces of the jigsaw...

July 30: India’s Largest Network Sues Nielsen for Billions Over Manipulating TV Ratings

Standard & Poor's expects lawsuit over subprime ratings




Standard & Poor's says it is to be sued by the US government over the credit ratings agency's assessment of mortgage bonds before the financial crisis.

The civil lawsuit would focus on S&P's high ratings in 2007 for some mortgage-backed securities that later collapsed in value, said the agency.

S&P says the case is entirely without factual or legal merit.

The suit would be the first such case over alleged wrongdoing by a ratings agency tied to the financial crisis.

S&P said the justice department had informed them of the impending civil suit, although the federal agency declined to comment.

The move follows a breakdown in talks between the justice department and S&P, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Several states are expected to join the suit, US media report.

Shares in S&P's owner, the US publishing and media group McGraw Hill, fell 14% on Wall Street on Monday following the announcement, while those in fellow ratings agency Moody's fell 10% - indicating the market expects that they may be next in the justice department's sights.

'Key enablers'
S&P and other agencies have faced criticism from investors, politicians and regulators for assigning their top AAA ratings to thousands of subprime and other mortgage securities that later collapsed in value.

Such agencies are paid by the issuers of bonds and other securities for ratings, raising concern about potential conflicts of interest.

Grades assigned by these firms can affect a company's ability to raise or borrow money as well as how much investors will pay for their securities.

In the case of the subprime mortgage bubble, ratings agencies including S&P were hired to assess collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) - complex financial transactions that packaged together thousands of loans to individual homebuyers.

The ratings agencies' job was to assess the likelihood that the home loans - and therefore the CDOs - would ultimately be repaid. Their ratings enabled the investment banks which put the CDOs together to then sell them to investors around the world.

In its January 2011 report, the US Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission called the agencies "essential cogs in the wheel of financial destruction" and "key enablers of the financial meltdown".

S&P has previously disclosed a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation into its rating of a specific $1.6bn (£1bn) CDO known as Delphinus CDO 2007-1.



Delphinus was the basis of a $127m settlement by Mizuho Financial Group over allegations that the US unit of the company obtained false credit ratings for the CDO using millions of dollars in dummy assets.

It is unclear if Delphinus is included in the expected civil suit.

S&P has also faced lawsuits from investors, and argues its ratings constitute opinions protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

The firm says it "deeply regrets" how its CDO ratings failed to anticipate mortgage market conditions as the financial crisis hit, and that it has since spent $400m to help bolster the quality of its ratings.

"Every CDO that [the department] has cited to us also independently received the same rating from another rating agency," S&P said in a statement on Monday.

"The Department of Justice would be wrong in contending that S&P ratings were motivated by commercial considerations and not issued in

Anonymous posts over 4000 U.S. bank executive credentials

Summary: Anonymous appears to have published login and private information from over 4000 American bank executive credentials its Operation Last Resort, demanding US computer crime law reform.

By Violet Blue for Zero Day | February 4, 2013


Following attacks on U.S. government websites last weekend, Anonymous seems to have made a new "Operation Last Resort" .gov website strike Sunday night.

Anonymous appears to have published login and private information from over 4,000 American bank executive accounts in the name of its new Operation Last Resort campaign, demanding U.S. computer crime law reform.


A spreadsheet has been published on a .gov website allegedly containing login information and credentials, IP addresses, and contact information of American bank executives.

If true, it could be that Anonymous has released banker information that could be connected to Federal Reserve computers, including contact information and cell phone numbers for U.S. bank Presidents, Vice Presidents, COO's Branch Managers, VP's and more.

The website used in this attack belongs to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC). The page extension URL is titled, "oops-we-did-it-again."

Twitter:
OpLastResort @OpLastResort

Now we have your attention America: Anonymous's Superbowl Commercial 4k banker d0x via the FED http://acjic.alabama.gov/documents/o...-it-again.html … #opLastResort #Anonymous
3:16 AM - 04 Feb 13

The spreadsheet document contains usernames, names of individuals and their titles at banks across the U.S., hashed passwords (not passwords in plain text). It was placed on a .gov website and on Pastebin, and publicized via various Anonymous accounts on Twitter and Facebook.

A Reddit member called the numbers and commented,

OK, I called a few of them. What must be so problematic for the Federal Reserve is not the information so much as this file was stolen from their computers at all.

The ramifications of that kind of loss of control is severe.
Banks listed on the document claim credentials from management at community banks, community credit unions, and more, across the United States.

A visit to the bank websites on the document shows that these are current employees at each of the banks.

Anonymous stated in its first Operation Last Resort defacement last friday (ussc.gov) it had infiltrated multiple federal websites over a period of time. The hacktivist entity dropped enough technical details to make it clear that its tracks were covered and that Anonymous still had access to .gov websites.

Significance of Monday, February 4?

While today in the United States it is the day of a major American sporting event (the Superbowl), this Sunday night's timing of Anon's document release coincides with another event more important to the new Anonymous campaign Operation Last Resort - a campaign anchored on the Swartz tragedy.

After the Anonymous OpLastResort hacks last weekend, last Monday a House panel issued a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder (.pdf link) with seven specific questions, and demanding answers regarding the Swartz prosecution.

Tomorrow, Monday February 4, is the deadline for Attorney General Eric Holder to answer specific questions regarding the Aaron Swartz prosecution.

Anonymous may be focusing on that deadline, as well.

Previously on the defaced ussc.gov website Anonymous cited the recent suicide of hacktivist Aaron Swartz as a "line that has been crossed."

The statement suggested retaliation for Swartz's tragic suicide, which many - including the family - believe was a result of overzealous prosecution by the Department of Justice and what the family deemed a "bullying" use of outdated computer crime laws.

With the letter to Holder, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requests a briefing with the Justice Department. CNET writes,

"Many questions have been raised about the appropriate level of punishment sought by prosecutors for Mr. Swartz's alleged offenses, and how the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, cited in 11 of 13 counts against Mr. Swartz, should apply under similar circumstances," [Reps. Issa and Cummings] say in the letter, which requests a briefing no later than February 4.
The letter is another voice from the Federal side of the discussion, joining a chorus led by Democratic congresswoman Rep. Zoe Lofgren who has authored a bill called "Aaron's Law" that aims to change the 1984 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (with which Swartz was being prosecuted).

Last friday February 1, Lofgren submitted a draft of the bill to be reviewed on Reddit. Ars Technica reported that after its online critique, a revised version of the bill was published today, with more far-reaching reforms.

Read more: Feds stumbling after Anonymous launches 'Operation Last Resort'
Last weekend Anonymous commandeered the US Sentencing website to launch Operation Last Resort "warheads" (encrypted files suggested by Anonymous to be sensitive US government documents).

The defacement demanded reform on US computer crime laws, citing the January 11 tragic suicide of young hacker and digital rights activist Aaron Swartz.

See also: Anonymous hacks US Sentencing Commission, distributes files
Tragedy cited as cause behind the attacks: Hacker, Activist Aaron Swartz Commits Suicide
Anonymous spent last weekend playing cat-and-mouse with the Department of Justice after taking over the ussc.gov website (still decimated and now "under construction" over a week later).

After the US government regained control of the .gov website used in the hacks and defacements, Anonymous regained control of two .gov sites and turned the sites into a mocking video game of Asteroids.

Public interest in Sunday's Asteroids game created a crowdsourced DDoS, downing the websites for days.

It is possible that banks and user information on tonight's new "oops we did it again" document may be connected to accounts at The Fed (The Federal Reserve Bank).

The Fed has a collection of services called Fedline, which operates at highly critical junctures across the U.S. banking system.

For instance, one of the services offered by Fedline is money and funding transfers via the U.S. Federal Reserve.

It enables financial institutions to transfer funds between member participants. These participants are estimated to be around more than 9,000 financial entities (such as banks).

Fedline is the primary U.S. network for high value, time-critical and international payments.

In 2007 the estimated average daily value of funds transferred via Fedline products was 2.7 trillion (an estimated 537,000 payments daily, the average was over $5 million per transaction).

At this point, the information on the document is unverified and exactly what banking systems the information may affect is not known. ZDNet will update this article with new information as it becomes known.

The Operation Last Resort video, posted Friday on the U.S. Sentencing Commission website now has 1,183,000 views.

It is interesting to note that this second "official" #OpLastResort salvo does not cite AntiSec, as seen in the Asteroids game.

Anonymous appears intent to influence federal action - one way or another.

Benjy Fulford's take on it all via American Kabuki, including Bilderberger Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands' resignation as mentioned here last week. Well, let's see if Queen Elizabeth does resign as he says - that would be an unexpected event...


http://americankabuki.blogspot.co.uk...rix-quits.html

Queen Beatrix quits, the Rockefellers flee, the Bushes are rats in a trap; Queen Elizabeth, the Pope and the Rothschilds are still standing

Benjamin Fulford

February 5, 2013

The announcement last week that Queen “Bilderberg” Beatrix of the Netherlands was abdicating the throne is but a visible sign of some fundamental changes in the secret power structure of the West. In a yet to be publicly confirmed move, David and J. Rockefeller have fled to an Island near Fiji, according to a CIA source. The Bush family, for its part, tried to flee via an airport in Arkansas but were prevented from doing so by the FBI, the same source says.

This source, who correctly predicted the resignation of Queen Beatrix is also saying that Queen Elizabeth will resign in favour of her grandson in the near future.

These moves are all connected to the ongoing counter-attack against the genocidal Western elitists affiliated with the Bilderberg group, the Council on Foreign Relations and other related organizations. As will be described below, there is a lot more to come.

Also, at the time of this writing Lord James Sassoon has not responded to a hand-written letter delivered to him last week at the House of Lords in England asking for comment on the allegations that he bribed 82 politicians (actually paid actors) affiliated with Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

There are also plenty of indications of escalating infighting within the financial elite. The SWIFT international banking transfer system, for example, is becoming dysfunctional because large money transfers are being intercepted and diverted to unknown destinations before the intended recipients get their money, according to both MI5 and CIA sources. “The SWIFT system has several operational and procedural features that allow anyone with big computing power, i.e. cabal controlled bank servers, to spot and arrest large transactions, especially over $50 million,” the MI5 source says. “SWIFT has in the past been temporarily disabled to allow Bush 41 to steal large transactions,” he adds. The lack of trust between different cabal factions has meant that opposing factions have been regularly hijacking each other’s bank transfers, the CIA source corroborates.

The recent shouting match between Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF, and Deutsche Bank CEO Jurgen Fitschen, reported by Tom Heneghan, was almost certainly related to one such major hijacking of funds.

Also, more and more gold plated tungsten bars are being found in bank storage vaults worldwide. So far it can be confirmed that the IMF, The Bank of China, the Bundesbank and the Bank of England have all had some or all of their gold replaced with tungsten. This is leading to a frantic search for the missing gold by various governments. Perhaps they should follow Richard Armitage, who is now taking global collateral accounts gold from Indonesia and gold from royal vaults in Thailand, refining it in Hong Kong and taking it to parts unknown (Paraguay, the Antarctic?), according to a CIA source.

Two separate US sources, one FBI and one CIA, have both contacted this writer and said that a lady by the name of “Madame Wong” has been installed as Empress in China and placed in charge of the 85% of the world’s gold whose last legitimate owner was the Qing dynasty. This is strange to hear because my Chinese sources tell me the current heir to the Qing dynasty is a man by the name of Dr. Yi. Perhaps this is an attempt by certain parties to claim rights to the world’s treasure by using a proxy.

In any case, you cannot eat gold and technically owning 85% of the world’s gold does not automatically give a person the right to decide the future of humanity. That right belongs to the people of the world.

On that front, there seems to be a major power struggle coming to a head in the US. As mentioned above the founding families of the Federal Reserve Board in the US have either fled or are trying to flee in order to avoid imminent arrest, according to the CIA. There is also apparently some complicated plot brewing in which the Congress and the Senate will trigger their own demise by impeaching Obama, at least so the CIA is saying. After Obama is impeached, he will announce that he is just a spokesperson and the Vice-President Biden was actually sworn in as is actually President. Following that, the members of the Congress and Senate will be arrested and Obama will be formally reinstated as President, the CIA says. At this point a systematic purge of traitors will begin and no more dual Israeli/US citizens will be allowed in government. Once that is done, the newly restored US Republic will legally and rightfully renounce debt owed by the private Federal Reserve Board consortium to the rest of the world, or so the story goes. Believe it when you see it.

What is real though is that top Bilderberger Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has resigned. The CIA source in Europe who correctly predicted this says Queen Elizabeth will also resign soon in favour of her grandson William. MI5 could not confirm this. A Dutch intelligence source says Beatrix’s resignation was planned long in advance and was connected to the fact that she turned 75.

Here is what an Italian royal family member had to say about Queen Beatrix: “I know she has been part of a ‘consortium’ with the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, the Yamato Dynasty and Adam Hapsburg that has been and is still fighting the evil so called Illuminati.” A gnostic Illuminati source responds by saying they are not evil, just opposed to dynastic rule by Satanic bloodlines.

Speaking about Satan, there has been new intrigue in the Vatican. A certain Monsignor Egidio Vagnozzi died suddenly near the Vatican recently and was buried without an autopsy, according to an Italian aristocrat. Vagnozzi was pressing for a full investigation of the IOR – Instituto di Opere Religiose –Institute for Religious Works, i.e. the Vatican Bank. The “dark soul” behind the Vatican Bank is a Monsignor Donato de Bonis, the Italian aristocrat says. The Vatican Bank has been without a president for the past 8 months after a reformist president Ettori Gotti was controversially dismissed. Recently, credit card payments and ATMs in the Vatican have stopped because the Vatican bank is not complying with international money laundering regulations.

The Vatican Bank is reluctant to open its books to international scrutiny because massive bribes paid to senior politicians around the world would be exposed, according to several sources. The terms of the members of the oversight committee for the bank will expire on February 23rd. Let us see if the Vatican finally comes clean after that date.

One final note, a White Dragon Society member in Europe was attacked by two men with knives last week. The two men were beaten up and then arrested. They claimed they were paid $15,000 each by “Bilderbergers from Holland,” to kill that WDS member. They were amateurs, indicating the Bilderbergers are running out of professional talent.

Anything to declare? Man caught by customs officers entering Germany with a single cheque worth £45MILLION

A man caught trying to enter Germany with a cheque worth £44.5 million is believed to have been Iran's former central bank chief.

According to a German newspaper, customs officers at Duesseldorf Airport allegedly found the cheque in Tahmasb Mazaheri's luggage on January 21 upon his arrival from Turkey.
German customs issued a statement on Friday saying a cheque for 300 million bolivars issued by the Bank of Venezuela was found on an unnamed 59-year-old man.

Neither customs nor Iran's embassy could be reached for comment last night.
Mr Mazaheri was the governor of the Central Bank of Iran until 2008.
Newspaper Bild am Sonntag said German police and customs were investigating possible money laundering.

UK 4 Feb

Now this politician is likely to end up in prison after thinking he was above the law...

Chris Huhne's career in tatters as lies finally catch up with former minister

Chris Huhne has been exposed as a serial liar who was prepared to sacrifice his relationship with his son and run up taxpayer-funded bills of £250,000 in his attempts to cheat justice.

The former energy secretary quit politics in disgrace and faces the prospect of prison after he finally admitted asking his former wife to take speeding points for him.

On the day he was due to be tried for perverting the course of justice, he unexpectedly changed his plea to guilty, having protested his innocence for almost two years, and was warned by a judge that he should have “no illusions whatsoever” about his likely sentence.
It can now be disclosed that Huhne tried to get the case against him thrown out during a series of pre-trial hearings at which his defence claimed the case against him was “at best gossamer thin” and sought to portray him as the victim of a potential miscarriage of justice.

During 12 days of hearings, which were the subject of a reporting ban, a judge was shown a series of text messages in which Huhne’s 18-year-old son, Peter, begged him to “accept the consequences”.

The teenager’s pleadings fell on deaf ears as Huhne, 58, exhausted every legal option open to him to avoid trial, arguing that there was no case to answer and that any trial would be an abuse of process.

He finally gave up after a judge ordered the trial to go ahead, bringing his career and an extraordinary saga to an end with the single word “guilty” when the charge was put to him at Southwark Crown Court in London. His former wife, Vicky Pryce, 60, who denies a charge of perverting the course of justice over the speeding ticket, is due to stand trial.
Miss Pryce indicated at a previous hearing that she will use the defence of marital coercion, arguing that Huhne forced her to take the points in 2003.

Huhne, a multi-millionaire, is estimated to have spent between £350,000 and £500,000 on his defence. The Crown Prosecution Service said that it would ask the court to order Huhne to pay the prosecution’s costs, estimated at £150,000. He also faced calls to pay the estimated £100,000 cost of Operation Nigella, the Essex Police investigation into the speeding offence, and Operation Solar, a review of Operation Nigella, which was carried out after Huhne’s legal team raised concerns about the inquiry.

Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP who made a formal complaint to the police in 2011, said: “Chris Huhne had the opportunity to plead guilty in front of magistrates over six months ago. Instead, he decided to put the CPS to no doubt considerable expense in preparing the case for trial only for him to change his mind and suddenly plead guilty. I sincerely hope the judge in sentencing will make Huhne repay these wasted costs. None of us are above the law, including ministers.”

Downing Street said it was “a matter for him” whether Huhne returned a £17,000 severance payment he received when he stood down as energy secretary last year.
Huhne left court to announce that “having taken responsibility for something which happened 10 years ago the only proper course of action is now to resign my seat in Parliament”. Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, who beat Huhne in the Liberal Democrat leadership race in 2007, said he was “shocked and saddened” but said his colleague had “taken the right decision in resigning as an MP”.

Allegations that Huhne had persuaded his wife to claim she was driving his car so he could avoid a driving ban surfaced in newspapers in May 2011, when Huhne dismissed the reports as “simply incorrect”. He maintained the deceit throughout the police investigation and during a year of court hearings, only changing his plea to guilty when he had run out of options.

Mr Justice Sweeney told Huhne: “I will deal with your sentence on a date to be notified. You should have no illusions whatsoever as to the sort of sentence that you are likely to receive. Understood?”

Huhne nodded in reply. In the public gallery, his partner, Carina Trimingham, the bisexual former aide for whom he left his wife, wiped a tear from her eye. Huhne did not look at his former wife as they sat in the dock, with an empty seat between them.

Huhne’s resignation from politics will trigger a by-election in his seat of Eastleigh, where the Tories believe they can overturn his 3,800 majority. Keith House, the Liberal Democrat leader of Eastleigh borough council, said: “It is very, very sad to learn of Chris’s resignation. He has been a hard-working MP for Eastleigh for the last eight years.”

I think it is hard for some people to get their heads around it - linking the spiritual and financial/constitutional technicalities. But I agree that it feels like big news and people will all have to use their own intuition on it all.

Earth's magnetics and untruths?

http://networkedblogs.com/HZZUy

Occurs to me that this might be why it is getting so hard to keep untruths (well some of them) hidden any longer. THis is Tom Kenyon's view on it:

Tom Kenyon – Earth’s Magnetic Field – 6 February 2013
(full article at link)


Let us give you an overview of the current planetary situation as we view it.

The magnetic field of earth is involved in a perturbation or morphing. This is taking place interdimensionally, and the net effect is incremental surges in amplitude or strength of the magnetic field. This morphing of earth’s magnetic field is like a wave that rises and falls very quickly, and the oscillations are minute, but distinct. This is having a very strange effect upon human consciousness, specifically your biological experience. Many people are experiencing an increase of exhaustion and weariness. (As we have mentioned in previous communications, these symptoms are also caused by movements of energies from deep space as they pass through your galaxy and your solar system.)................................................

We have said before that there are forces on your planet that actively resist the impulse for spiritual evolution. They are invested in continuing their lies through the misappropriation of information in order to control you. Their job is getting more difficult.

Their job is getting more difficult because the perturbation of the magnetic field creates gaps in the creation of mental realities projected by the human mind. They—meaning those who wish to control and manipulate you—have vast resources at their command, and they are employing every one of them. But they cannot control the magnetic field of the earth! And for this, you should give thanks.

The impulse that is affecting the magnetic field of the earth comes from far beyond their locus of influence. It is our expectation, based upon our understanding of hyper-dimensional physics, that the perturbations of your magnetic field are going to increase over the next several years. Those of you who are sensitive energetically are the ones feeling this most intensely at the present moment, but we suspect that in the next two to three years most people will be affected by this in a way they are consciously aware of, even if they do not know why.

Yet another scandal about abuse of the young refuses to go away - this time in Ireland.

5 Feb Ireland

Ireland finally says sorry to the 10,000 'Magdalene Sister slaves' of its Catholic workhouses who were locked up and brutalised by nuns

10,000 young Irish girls were sent to the laundries between 1922 and 1996
Taoiseach Enda Kenny expresses sympathy for survivors and their families
Survivors reject apology and demand full admission from state and church
It follows a 10 year campaign for an apology and compensation scheme

Women who had their childhoods ‘stolen away’, locked up in Catholic-run workhouses received a qualified apology from the Irish government yesterday.

Over a period of 70 years, an estimated 10,000 were sent to the ‘Magdalene laundries’ to carry out unpaid manual labour under the supervision of nuns.

Some were sent because they were the children of unmarried mothers, others for crimes as minor as not paying a train ticket.

Incredibly the last of the ten laundries, which washed clothes and linen for major hotel groups, the Irish armed forces and even the brewer Guinness, was in operation until 1996. They were established in 1922.

Irish prime minister Enda Kenny apologised for the stigma and conditions saying they were a product of a ‘harsh and uncompromising Ireland’.

The taoiseach expressed his sympathies with survivors and the families of those who died but stopped short of a formal apology.
His words drew scorn from victims’ groups, who insisted the institutions were worse than prison and demanded a much stronger statement.

The move follows an 18-month inquiry chaired by senator Martin McAleese which found one in four of the women sent to the laundries had been sent by the state.

Mr Kenny said: ‘To those residents who went into the Magdalene laundries from a variety of ways, 26 per cent from state involvement, I’m sorry for those people that they lived in that kind of environment.’

But he added the report found no evidence of sexual abuse in the laundries, that 10 per cent of inmates were sent by their families, and that 19 per cent entered of their own volition.

Survivors quickly rejected his apology, and demanded a fuller and more frank admission from government and the religious orders involved.

Maureen Sullivan, 60, of Magdalene Survivors Together, and the youngest known victim, said: ‘He is the taoiseach of the Irish people, and that is not a proper apology.’

She was 12 when taken from her school and put in the Good Shepherd Magdalene Laundry in New Ross, County Wexford, because her father had died and mother remarried.

Miss Sullivan said she was told it would further her education, but she never saw her schoolbooks again.

For 48 years she says she has been haunted by memories of a lost childhood and slave labour and is demanding a full apology from the government and religious orders for stealing her education, name, identity and life.

‘I feel that they are still in denial, but other parts of this report clearly state that we were telling the truth,’ she said.

By day she worked in the laundry, was fed bread and dripping, and then made sweaters or rosary beads before bedtime. ‘It was long, hard tedious work,’ she said.

‘I remember being hidden in a tunnel when the school inspectors came. I can only assume this was because I should not have been working in the laundry.’

At the weekends, she was forced to clean the floors of the local church instead of having time off to play.

‘How come all this was taken from me?’ she said. ‘The nuns have destroyed my life and they never allowed me to develop as a young girl.’

'PRISONS FOR THE DISAPPEARED'
Set up in the 19th century as refuges for prostitutes, the Magdalene Laundries became prisons for the 'disappeared'.
Orphans with nowhere else to go, single girls who found themselves pregnant and hence abandoned in a morally repressive state, children whose parents could no longer afford to keep them and those judged by priests or the religious to be in 'moral danger' because they were too pretty or flirtatious.

Women were forced into Magdalene laundries for a crime as minor as not paying for a train ticket, the report found.

The majority of those incarcerated were there for minor offences such as theft and vagrancy as opposed to murder and infanticide.
Another survivor, Mary Smyth, also 60, said she was forced to follow in the steps of her mother who had also been one of the Magdalene women when she became pregnant.

She said she was treated like a slave and had her dignity, identity and life taken from her.
‘My name was changed, my hair was chopped off, all my possessions were taken from me,’ she said. ‘I didn’t eat for three weeks. I wanted to die.’

Miss Smyth has described her time in the Good Shepherd Convent in Sunday’s Well, Cork, as Hell and revealed she was afraid to have children as an adult in case she was locked up.
‘It was horrendous and inhumane. It was worse than any prison,’ she added. ‘It was soul destroying, it will never ever leave me,’ she said.

Senator McAleese’s inquiry found women were forced into Magdalene laundries for minor offences such as theft and vagrancy as opposed to major crimes such as infanticide.

Despite the stigma of being known as Maggies – a slang term for a prostitute – only a small number of the women were sent to them for prostitution.

In 2011, the UN Committee Against Torture called on the Irish government to set up an inquiry into the treatment of women in the laundries.

The McAleese inquiry spoke to more than 100 women and 40 per cent spent more than a year incarcerated.

In 2002, a film titled The Magdalene Sisters, written and directed by Peter Mullan, was released telling the story of three girls who were sent to 'Magdalene laundries'.

The film's director initially said that he had been inspired to undertake the project as the victims had never been given closure.
