Benjamin Fulford's posts and reports

[David Ansible]

Wilcock thinks the torture report is such a big deal. But the truly heinous stuff was redacted out of the report. More importantly, the truth about 9/11 still remains "undisclosed." So we can still have Cheney on national television saying we "tortured" because we had to (he won't call it torture of course), and further that the real torture is what al Qaeda did to us on 9/11, which he did in fact
say. So the false narrative remains the same. Nothing really big or transformative has happened ... yet.... When and if it happens, we will know. There will be no question. God do we need some real revelations.

I have some questions:

1. Does David Wilcox have any history of criminal convictions for
smuggling or drug use ? What is there in his history that could justify
repeated visits to the vaseline room ? If there is nothing to justify it
then is there any legal action that David Wilcox could take ?
And if so, are there any lawyers out there willing to take this work
on a pro-bono basis ?

2. I'd like to hear more about 'metaphysical attack'.
What exactly is this ?
Does it happen when you sleep?
... or when you're awake, or both ?
Is there any martial arts to counter such an attack ?
eg: Yellow Bamboo .. or Chi Kung etc ?
Are there any defense to this type of attack ?

Thanks to anyone that chooses to offer answer(s) to my questions.
If you're reluctant to post to this thread, feel free to PM me. :-)

Be happy

DW likes to include some type of personal drama into his "essays," this one being "The simple fact is that in doing what I do, there are constant attacks by physical and metaphysical sources," neither of which can be disproved. He inflates his own self-importance by claiming that his "work" is making TPTB uncomfortable, so they harass him. He seems to have a hero complex and relish soliciting calls of concern and worry for his gallant bravery in battling the cabal, much of it, apparently, at the local multiplex "interpreting the signs."

I imagine they are having a field day at GLP with his vaseline comment.

does anyone knowing the truth of 9/11 hate watching Cheney explain why torture was critical to find out who was behind 9/11...

The CIA chief and Cheney ALWAYS drags out 9/11 and what we as Americans had to endure yada yada yada, when all else fails bring out 9/11. Caught torturing people bring out 9/11, caught spying on the whole planet, bring out 9/11. I watched the CIA chief's speech, and I am thinking when the truth about 9/11 breaks the news, boy people are going to get very angry. These guys are so good at lying, and Cheney, he can't talk without doing it on a regular basis ..Yeah it's hard to even listen to them without a straight face, I can't listen to Obama, never listened to one of his speechs why? What for.

The thing about Fulford is he drops little hints that do end up being true about a few years ago he dropped a hint about how windows was spying on people this was before Snowden, just a little line and 2 years later I remember his little ditty. He does this a lot, is everything writes true, well, I guess we will have to wait and see.

well Cheney was choking out the lies, they aren't flowing as easily as before...

maybe he trained to tip goats with his mind years ago, now the world is waking up and he is hearing us whispering in his mind...

I caught a bit of the mainstream news tonight(CBS). The story was about the cyber attack on SONY (Standard Oil of New York?-as Fulford has stated in the past?). I was shocked to see the acronym 'GOP' prominently displayed as the cyber attacker. So does this now mean 'GOP' no longer denotes Grand Old Party but now denotes Guardians Of Peace? It looks like things are heading that way on the main stream news. Heard of this first from Wilcock! And on TV just one day after his GOP=Guardians Of Peace post on Fulford's blog! (I bet Soros is not too happy about this, as these new GOP guys are definitely not his.)

As for the metaphysical attacks on David: Bill Ryan has been the recipient of such attacks which he has elaborated on in past posts. He can vouch for the fact that such attacks are very real! (and I hope he does refresh our memory). Wilcock seems to be cut from a Spiritual Warrior soul type and has been maintaining quite well despite the attacks.

I am looking forward to the 'Christmas Surprise' from the 'GOP' and also looking forward to David's new show on Gaiam! Only 9 days until Christmas!

Secretary Kerry just told Israel, US in not guaranteeing a Veto at the UN on Palestine...

when the White House told Netanyahu to stop dropping Thermo Nukes on Gaza civilians, Israel flipped them off and continued...

"WASHINGTON -- US Secretary of State John Kerry would not guarantee the US will veto unilateral Palestinian actions at the United Nations, speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

"We've made no determinations about language, approaches, specific resolutions, any of that," the secretary told the press in London. "This isn't the time to detail private conversations. or speculate on a UN Security Council resolution that hasn't even been tabled."

Tabled yet or not, Jordan and France have publicly declared their intentions to move forward with resolutions that would set a UN-mandated timeline for Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank, without approval or consultation with Jerusalem. The Obama administration, following its predecessors, has long opposed any actions on the Middle East peace process that fail to include the consent of both parties.

The Palestinian Authority has said it plans to submit its own resolution, possibly as early as this week.

While the secretary failed to guarantee a continuation of that policy— current US appropriations law requires the State Department cut funding to the Palestinian Authority if it seeks statehood recognition at the UN outside the peace process— Kerry did say that a solution to the conflict could not be imposed from the outside, but must be agreed upon through negotiation.

That line is consistent with past US policy on the peace process, and suggests Kerry's refusal to guarantee a UN veto may amount to pressure on Israel to return to the negotiating table.

"We now are having a constructive conversation with all of the sides to find the best way to go forward," Kerry said, adding that he hoped to create an atmosphere in which peace talks could be renewed." link

The MSM are setting up Russia to take the blame for any "global collapse" ... apparently, according to some media outlets, the Ruble is continuing to fall - no mention of America's multi-trillion debt in any of these reports (of course!). Here is just one...


Russia's sinking economy becoming a global threat
Fallout from troubled Russia risks triggering default and increased aggression in Ukraine

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Russia's suddenly escalating financial crisis risks spilling beyond its borders and endangering parts of the global economy.

With economies in Europe, Japan, China and Latin America already ailing, fresh threats have emerged from Russia's shriveled currency, its move to dramatically boost interest rates, the damage from plummeting oil prices and Western sanctions over Russia's action in Ukraine.

The alarming 10 percent drop in the ruble over the past two days has amplified the economic turmoil in Russia. Investors fear that Russia may default on its foreign debt obligations — a move that would inflict hundreds of billions in losses on lenders abroad.

Some analysts also worry that tensions will further escalate between Russia and the United States and its European allies that imposed the sanctions. The White House upped the pressure Tuesday when President Barack Obama committed to approving additional sanctions.

Few see President Vladimir Putin as backing down.

"I do not expect him to blink," said Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, a political risk and consulting firm.

The financial consequences for the United States could be modest because of Russia's diminished economic stature. Yet the geopolitical risk could ripple across continents.

Russia began the year as the world's eighth-largest economy, with a gross domestic product of $2.1 trillion, according to the World Bank. A single ruble is now worth less than two pennies, having lost about 50 percent of its value against the dollar since January.

This means Russia's GDP has been halved in dollar terms, putting it roughly on par with Mexico and Indonesia as the world's 15th largest economy.

Before financial markets opened Tuesday, the Bank of Russia hiked its key rate to protect the ruble's value. In doing so, the bank hopes investors will find it more financially appealing to keep their money in Russia. Nevertheless, the ruble fell in trading to close Tuesday at 80 rubles to a dollar, compared with 65 on Monday. It recovered in late trading to a rate of 68 to the dollar.

Russian officials have already projected that their economy will shrink nearly 5 percent next year. That will, by extension, affect its trading partners in Europe and Asia.

Russia imports about $324 billion in goods annually, primarily from China, Germany, Ukraine, Belarus and Japan. Those imports have grown costlier because of the falling ruble.

One potential global risk comes from Russia seeking to retaliate against the sanctions by stepping-up cyberattacks against U.S. targets and asserting itself more aggressively in Ukraine and other nearby countries, Bremmer said.

On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov argued in a French TV interview that the sanctions were intended to end Putin's regime.

Unlike during the previous ruble crash in 1998, Russia is unlikely to receive help from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, organizations backed by the United States and its European allies that contend that Russia has funneled direct support to rebels fighting in Ukraine.

Isolated and alone, Russia might then choose to default on some of its debt.

"Our deepest fear has been — and still is — that putting Mr. Putin in a 'nothing-to-lose' situation removes any constraint he might have had against reneging on his foreign debt obligations, which Russian borrowers probably cannot pay off or service now," writes Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. Foreign lenders would have to brace for $670 billion in losses.

This possibility has sparked an investor retreat from Russia. But that pullback has also caused investors to flee other emerging market currencies that are deemed risky. They include Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia, noted John Higgins, chief markets economist at Capital Economics.

Higgins said that oil prices are the central factor that will determine "the depth of Russia's problems and the consequences for the global financial markets." Should oil continue to collapse, the financial and geopolitical turbulence in Russia will worsen.

U.S. crude oil markets rose 2 cents to close at $55.93 a barrel Tuesday, while the international counterpart dipped below $60 a barrel for the first time since May 2009. Oil prices have been cut in half over the past six months.

Analysts generally attribute the plunge in oil prices to rising supplies and slowing demand as Europe and Japan falter and China's growth weakens. But as the price drops further, fears are intensifying that the decline is pointing to slower growth than many analysts had expected, said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise.

That could make the situation for Russia even more dire.

"Oil hasn't found a bottom yet, so the pain is only going to get worse as the price of oil continues to fall," Joy said.

Israel Interceptor, shut down by GOP?

right when Palestine is pushing forward at the UN for recognition...

Israel decided to show off their new Arrow 3 interceptor ballistic missile system... It failed, did Israel just realize they are sitting ducks to incoming missiles?

" Occupied Jerusalem: The Israeli regime’s upgraded Arrow ballistic missile shield failed its first live interception test on Tuesday, security sources said, a fresh setback for the US-supported system billed as a bulwark against Iran.

Operators of the Arrow 3 battery at Palmahim air base on the Mediterranean coast cancelled the launch of its interceptor missile after it failed to lock on to a target missile fired over the Mediterranean, the sources said.

“There was a countdown to the launch, and then nothing happened,” one source told said on condition of anonymity. “A decision was made not to waste the interceptor missile.” Arrow is among several elements of an integrated Israeli aerial shield built up to withstand potential future missile and rocket attacks by Iran, Syria or their guerrilla allies in Lebanon and Gaza.

In a statement, Israel’s Defence Ministry said that “within the framework of preparations for a future interception test, a target missile was launched and carried out its trajectory successfully”.

Asked whether Tuesday’s trial had been intended as a full interception that had failed, a Defence Ministry spokesman had no immediate comment..." link

Western Banks Cut Off Liquidity To Russian Entities

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/16/2014 18:01 -0500


As Zero Hedge first reported today, shortly before noon one (and subsequently more) FX brokers advised clients that any existing Ruble positions would be forcibly closed out because "western banks have stopped pricing USDRUB", over concerns of Russian capital controls. Ironically, it was this forced liquidation of mostly short RUB positions that pushed the RUB higher, which in turn had a briefly favorably impact on energy commodities and risk assets, as the market had by then perceived the Ruble selloff as excessive. Of course, since nothing had actually changed aside from a temporary market technical, the selloff promptly resumed into the close of trading once the market finally understood what we had explained hours previously.

And unfortunately for the bulls, various falling knife-catchers, and those who hope the Russian situation will stabilize imminently with or without capital controls, it appears things in Russia are about to get a whole lot worse because as the WSJ reports, the next driver of the Russian crisis is likely to come from within the banking system itself because "global banks are curtailing the flow of cash to Russian entities, a response to the ruble’s sharpest selloff since the 1998 financial crisis."

Presenting Russia's banks: now cut off from the outside world as the second cold war goes nuclear, at least when it comes to the financial system:

Such banks as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. this week started rejecting requests from institutional clients to engage in certain ruble-denominated repurchase agreements and other transactions designed to raise cash, according to people familiar with the matter.

Bankers and traders say the moves to restrict some ruble transactions have become increasingly widespread among major Western financial institutions this week, even as the same institutions continue to try to profit from the ruble’s wild swings. The moves, which the banks are deploying to protect themselves against further swings in the currency, have the potential to add to the strain on Russia’s financial system.

Goldman in recent days largely stopped doing longer-term ruble-denominated repurchase agreements, or repos, in which securities or other assets are swapped in exchange for cash, said a person familiar with the matter. The Wall Street bank is still doing short-duration ruble repos, those that mature in less than a year, this person said.

And where Goldman goes, everyone else follows, even though according to the WSJ this has not happened, yet:

Other banks, including Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc., haven’t changed their trading with Russia or in rubles, according to people familiar with those banks.

They will, it is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, the entire Russian capital market, and not just its currency, is becoming isolated from the rest of the Western world:

In one sign of the banking industry’s hasty retreat, the London-based manager of an emerging-markets hedge fund said Tuesday that he couldn’t get any banks to trade Russian government bonds with him.

Of course, anyone who read our article in early November explaining "How The Petrodollar Quietly Died, And Nobody Noticed", predicting the crunch in global intermarket liquidity as a result of the collapse in crude, would know this is coming. As for the death of the Petrodollar we warned about, a death which has resulted in the disintegration of market volume just as warned, suddenly everyone is noticing.

Regardless, what all of the above means is that Russia now has at best a few weeks in which to find an alternative source of short-term funding. One coming from the East.

The question is will Putin swallow his pride and proceed with the next logical step as the Eurasian axis realizes the time to abandon the dollar has long past, that now only actions matter and not words, and joins forces with China in a new monetary union, one which combines the Ruble and the Yuan, and is backed by China's gold and Russia's natural resources, as cheap as they may be for the time being... until one or more of the largest middle-east oil exporters experiences a major and "unexpected" geopoolitical incident, one which sends the price of oil soaring right back up.

Sorcha's report just came out on Russia's counter to financial attack...

"A chilling report published today by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) is warning of potentially “catastrophic unknown consequences” relating to President Putin’s issuance to the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) of orders to initiate what is commonly known within the Kremlin as the “Samson Defense” designed to crash the Russian ruble, while at the same time insuring the economic collapse of both the United States and European Union.

The CBR’s “Samson Defense” is a Russian monetary strategy designed to economically mirror Israel’s feared “Samson Option” deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a “last resort” if military attacks threaten its existence.

In Putin’s action against the US-EU, this report says, the CBR’s stunning move earlier today in raising the interest rate to 17% from 10.5% has had its desired consequence as the ruble plunged more than 20% and to date and has now lost about 57% of its value versus the US dollar since the start of the year, which exceeds the 36% plunge related to the 2008 global economic crisis.

Most importantly to note about this currency plunge, however, this report notes, are that Russia’s fiscal domestic accounts are denominated in depreciating rubles and its oil exports are invoiced in an appreciating US dollar, meaning that the fiscal blow from lower oil prices will be cushioned by a weak ruble, and was a strategy that Putin warned about earlier when he stated that the Federation was braced for a “catastrophic” slump in oil prices.

Equally as important to note, MED analysts in this report say, the CBR agreed to lend money this week against 625 billion rubles (over $10 billion) of bonds freshly printed by oil giant Rosneft allowing it to hoard its export dollars and meet a $10 billion loan repayment later this month, and another $4 billion in February.

As to how catastrophically low oil prices can fall, this report continues, it notes that OPEC has already stated that they are willing to push prices as low as $40 a barrel in their bid to take on Russia and US shale, a stance which began this past September when the Obama regime reached a secret deal with Saudi Arabia in order to flood the world with oil to collapse the Russian economy, but which has now backfired on them as the Saudis seek to bankrupt US shale producers too.

With 15% of US shale gas producers are already losing money because of the Obama regimes secret deal with Saudi Arabia, this report warns, up to half of all of Americas shale operations will face financial ruin if oil prices slip below $55 a barrel leaving millions without jobs in an already collapsing economy.

To the ability of the Federation withstanding a “Samson Defense” economic war against the US and EU, this report says, it should be noted that the current debt of the US stands at a staggering $18 trillion [an amount so large it is now mathematically impossible to ever pay back] while the EU is, likewise, at a equally staggering amount of €12 trillion ($15 trillion).

Compared to the combined US-EU debt of $30 trillion, this report notes, Russia has only $678 billion in foreign debt, has very little outstanding debt and its public debt to gross domestic product ratio is 10% - an excellent figure compared to the EU’s dismal average ratio of 90.9 and the US’s 71.8%.

Likewise to note, MED analysts in this report say, is that while Russia’s debt to GDP is roughly 14%, the EU currently stands at 90.9%, the US at 80.2%, and Japan’s at 227%, meaning, simply, that the Federation can withstand any economic hardship the Western alliance puts against it.

Also, and as independent analysts confirm, Moscow‘s coffers are well-filled, giving Russia the durability to weather a double external shock - tanking oil prices and Western sanctions.

The Finance Ministry controls two sovereign wealth funds, which contained some $172 billion as of December. The money, held in foreign currency, has been accumulated during the past 15 years of high oil and gas revenues and has been earmarked as a piggy bank, primarily for the pension system.

Additionally, the CBR’s overall foreign currency reserves stood at a healthy $416.2 billion dollars in early December.

And most critical to note about the “Samson Defense”, this report concludes, is that Russia will not cut its oil production against the headwinds of collapsing prices, and may, indeed, increase its amount as the plunging ruble, combined with a rising US dollar, actually makes Federation oil the most affordable in the world.

Well, I'll hope for the best, but I'm not holding my breath. I check Google News daily to see what TPTB are up to, and judging by the stories and headlines slanted in their agenda's favor, nothing has changed. When I start seeing the same stories on MSM as on truth sites and chemtrails and their resulting blanket of dreary muck disappearing from the skies, then I'll believe the "white hats" are accomplishing something. Until then, it's all just spin.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

Thanks for posting that, Rocky. I don't make it a habit of reading the "Sorcha Faal" stuff. The stories there are pretty obviously attributed to fake sources, and all start off with the sensational "shocking report from the _____ in Russia," etc., when there's never any evidence that these agencies ever published or otherwise said such a thing. But even though this is the case, I've looked at the site about as carefully as anyone else appears to have looked at it, and I really think they are mixing good information into their articles. It may be the case that the only way that they can continue to publish such information at that website, is to mix in obvious bull crap to allow plausible deniability.

And anyway, the story they present for dropping oil/gas prices makes sense to me. I knew it had something to do with international financial warfare but I didn't know the specifics of it, and I'm sure there's still some details out there that can clarify further.

Posted by Rocky_Shorz (here)
Jeb Bush just announced he's seriously thinking about running for President, why the uncertainly?

I'd say he'll run as long as the Bush faction is so entrenched in US politics. I saw some convincing information years ago that I've since forgotten, back when Bush Jr. was still in office, that his brother Jeb would be president in the future after a turn of a couple of democratic terms. I told others that I thought Jeb would be the next Bush elected president but everyone I told this seemed to think that the Bush image would be ruined by Bush Jr. After Obama that may not be the case anymore.

There was another media clip that made its rounds years ago, probably over 10 years ago, showing Obama in the Senate with a mainstream news anchor saying something like "This man may have a presidential career in his future." This was odd because Obama hadn't yet said anything about running for president and there was absolutely no apparent reason to say such a thing, except that the news anchor was reading from a script that someone "in the know" must have had some hand in.

[Rocky_Shorz]

a while back Ben commented about Jeb being the new head of the family since Daddy Bush lost mental facilities...

he says they're running, and suddenly Jeb is stepping towards President

Russia's value dropped 36%, the central bank stepped forward dumping dollars and bought up all the Rubles available at the lowest point. it jumped in value by 12% today... not a bad one day return...

must have been impressed by the Sony Hack...

Vladimir Putin just invited Kim Jong Un to visit Russia. Really...



"Officials in Moscow confirmed Friday that North Korean despot Kim Jong Un may attend ceremonies next year commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. It would be Kim's first public foreign visit since coming to power in December 2011.

"Yes, such an invitation was sent," confirmed Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, speaking to Reuters.

The news comes at a particularly conspicuous moment. On Friday, U.S. federal investigators accused North Korea of being behind the hacking attacking on Sony Pictures Entertainment. An escalation of cyber threats has compelled Sony to cancel the release of "The Interview," a controversial comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco that depicts the two being sent on a mission to assassinate Kim.

The film's plot riled Pyongyang — and, leaked e-mails revealed, Sony executives — and instigated one of the strangest geopolitical spats of the year, with many in the United States reacting angrily to Sony's acquiescence in the face of North Korean "terror."

Meanwhile, Putin has also been in the spotlight. On Thursday, he held a defiant three-hour-long year-end news conference, where he inveighed upon the "external" forces that had conspired to undermine Russia's economy. Sanctions imposed by the West, a slide in oil prices and a free-falling ruble have all made the end of 2014 a gloomy time for the Russian president.

But his invitation to Kim is not just meant as a rebuke of the U.S. and its allies. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union helped prop up the totalitarian regime in Pyongyang. Now, Russia needs North Korean cooperation in its bid to build a pipeline that would boost gas exports to South Korea, Reuters reports. As is often the case in Moscow, energy policy usually outweighs other imperatives.

Russia celebrates the Soviet Union's victory in World War II annually on May 9. This year, Putin marked the occasion in Crimea — the Black Sea region that had controversially been annexed from Ukraine just months before. Standing at the historic and strategic port of Sevastopol, Putin spoke at length of the Russian glory and sacrifice that inextricably bound Crimea to Moscow.

His ironclad nationalist rhetoric set the stage for the rest of the year. A pro-Russian separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine has led to thousands of deaths and deepened tensions between Russia and the West. Given that precedent, the presence of Kim among other dignitaries of the post-Soviet world could perhaps be less controversial." link
