Corrupt Agenda: UN Orders Troops To Surrender To U.S.-Backed Syrian Rebels

Wednesday 3rd September 2014 at 07:44 By david-icke





‘A United Nations’ peacekeeping commander ordered Filipino troops to surrender on
Monday at the hands of Obama-backed Syrian rebels. Thankfully they disobeyed that
order and fought bravely for their freedom.

This is just the latest example of a corrupt United Nations that is leading us all
toward a New World Order.

Why would anyone order a surrender to these savages when the likely reward is death?’

The Grand Saudi Reversal

Wednesday 3rd September 2014 at 07:42 By david-icke








While for the past 35 years Saudi Arabia has supported all the jihadist movements
to the most extremist, Riyadh seems suddenly to have changed policy. Threatened
in its very existence by a possible attack from the Islamic Emirate, Saudi Arabia
has given the signal for the destruction of the organization. But contrary to
appearances, the EIS remains supported by Turkey and Israel who sell their looted oil.
by Thierry Meyssan
Voltaire Network | Damascus (Syria) | 1 September 2014



In this photograph released by the Islamic Emirate, we see one of its fighters
armed with a French Famas while Paris denies any contact with this organization. In
reality, France has armed the Free Syrian Army with instructions to donate two-
thirds of its equipment to the Al-Nosra Front (that is to say, Al Qaeda in Syria), as
evidenced by a document provided by Syria to the Security Council of the UN.
Subsequently several units of Al-Nosra rallied with their weapons to the Islamic
Emirate. Moreover, contrary to official statements, the commander of the Islamic
Emirate, the current caliph Ibrahim, combined his duties with those of a member of
the staff of the Free Syrian Army.



‘The unanimity of the Security Council against the Islamic Emirate (EIS) and the passage of the
2170 resolution are only a facade attitude. This cannot induce us to forget the state support
provided the EIS and which it still has.

To take only the recent events in Iraq, everyone has observed that EIS fighters entered the
country in columns of brand new Humvees, straight from US American Motors factories and
armed with Ukrainian materials, also new. With this equipment they seized the US weapons
of the Iraqi Army. Also, everyone was amazed that the EIS had civil administrators instantly
capable of taking over the management of the conquered territories and communications
specialists that promote its activities on the Internet and on television; personnel obviously
trained at Fort Bragg.’

Jim Willie: Saudi’s are on the verge of joining Russia in non-dollar oil sales

Wednesday 3rd September 2014 at 07:39 By david-icke





‘Last week, Russia announced an game changing shift for energy in which they are now allowing
the sale of oil and natural gas to be done in both Roubles and Yuan, bypassing the dollar and
cracking the 40 year old petro-dollar system. And on Aug. 31, Dr. Jim Willie reported during an
interview with TFMetals Report that this break away from U.S. hegemony over the purchasing o
f oil is not being limited to just Russia, but that the foundational country of petro-dollar origin,
Saudi Arabia, is in talks with the Eurasian energy giant to join them in a partnership that will also
disconnect the Arab Kingdom from the dollar, and open energy sales within the OPEC nations to
be done in Roubles, Yuan, and perhaps even the Euro.’

Another article slightly off topic, but is linked to the underlying problem of 'control'
and how the rich and powerfull always undermind it. These maybe lower tier players
but you can be sure the big players Rothchilds etc are ripping off the public in all
countries.

Criminals and corrupt politicians steal $1trillion a year from the world’s poorest countries

Wednesday 3rd September 2014 at 07:15 By david-icke











‘At least $1trn a year is being “stolen” from the world’s poorest countries by
criminals and corrupt officials who siphon cash through money laundering, tax
evasion and embezzlement.

The staggering cost of corruption is revealed in a study published today by ONE,
the anti-poverty group co-founded by the rock star Bono. It calls on the G20 group
of rich nations, including Britain, to expose the anonymous shell companies which
are used to “rip off” poor countries. According to ONE, the millions diverted from
poverty-stricken nations is channelled through banks and secret companies in
places including London, Delaware and Hong Kong.’

If the money was retained by the developing nations, it could help avert 3.6m
deaths a year between 2015 and 2025, the study concludes. It would also mean
that these countries would no longer need to rely on overseas aid from rich nations.

The report found that $3.2trn of the world’s $20trn of undeclared assets originated
in developing countries. If the missing millions were taxed, it could bring in
revenues of $19.5bn a year. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, curbing corruption could
educate an extra 10m children a year; provide antiretroviral drugs for more than
1m people with HIV/Aids and pay more almost 16.5m vaccines.

David Cameron and George Osborne secured the backing of the eight leading
economies to crack down on shell companies and tax havens at last year’s G8
summit in Loch Erne, Northern Ireland. But ONE fears that progress around the
world is stalling and is warning that the drive must be extended to the top 20
economies, including China and India, at a G20 summit Australia in November.

A four-point plan proposed by ONE urged G20 leaders to:
•expose the “phantom firms” involved in money laundering by making information
about them publicly available
•bring in strong “payment disclosure laws” on oil, gas and mining to stop natural
resources being “stolen” from poor countries
•crack down on tax evasion through automatic exchange of information so that
poor nations can collect taxes they are due
•ensure all governments publish data so the public can “follow the money” and hold
their leaders to account.

Dr David McNair, ONE’s transparency and accountability policy director, said: “In
developing countries, corruption is a killer. Up to 3.6m lives could be saved if we
end the web of secrecy that helps the criminal and corrupt. When governments are
deprived of their own resources to invest in the essentials - like nurses and
teachers - the human cost is devastating.”

John Githongo, an anti-corruption campaigner and chief executive of the Inuka
Kenya Fund, said: “For too long, G20 countries have turned a blind eye to massive
financial outflows from developing countries which are channelled through offshore
bank accounts and secret companies. Introducing smart policies could help end this
trillion dollar scandal and reap massive benefits for our people at virtually no cost.
The G20 should make those changes now.”

The ONE report, The Trillion Dollar Scandal, says: “Corruption is perhaps the
greatest threat to economic growth in developing countries and the uncomfortable
truth is that, all too often, money diverted from their own budgets ends up in G20
countries and their related jurisdictions.”

It adds: “Illegal manipulation of cross-border trade is the biggest source of losses
to poor countries. The secrecy that allows that activity to thrive may also help to
conceal financial flows related to criminal bribery and theft by government officials,
human trafficking and/or the illegal sale of arms and contraband, depending on the
circumstances.”

Some 70 per cent of the 213 biggest corruption cases between 1980 and 2010
involved anonymous shell companies, according to ONE.

“These phantom firms are essential tools of the trade for money launderers. They
may hide the identities of individuals who profit from illegal activities, including the
trafficking of arms, drugs and people, the theft of public funds and/or illegal tax
evasion.

“In dozens of jurisdictions around the world, a phantom firm can be created with
less information than is needed to obtain a driving licence or open a bank account.
Currently completely legal, they exist solely on paper, and allow the people who
own or control them (the ‘beneficial owners’) to keep their identities hidden.”

The report says that governments, law enforcement agencies and ordinary citizens
face “an impossible task” when they try to reclaim the “stolen assets.” It
adds: “They are thwarted by the ease with which criminals can create complex,
multi-layered financial structures in which an anonymous shell company can be
owned by another shell company or a trust, resulting in a nearly impenetrable web
of secrecy that can block even the best law enforcement efforts.”

A spokesman for the Department for International Development said: “The UK has
made strong progress on trade, tax and transparency following last year’s G8 in
Loch Erne, benefiting countries across the world including the poorest nations.
Britain will maintain momentum to improve tax collection, break down trade
barriers and promote transparency in developing countries.”

How poor countries are robbed

In Zambia, a leaked audit report suggested that Mopani Copper Mines had failed to
pay tens of millions of dollars due in local tax. Glencore, which owned 73 per cent
of Mopani, denied the allegations.

Five African countries – Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda – lost
an estimated $15bn in tax revenues between 2002 and 2011 due mainly to “trade
mispricing” of imports or exports, allowing firms to shift capital to other countries to
evade taxes or launder money.

In 2011, subsidiaries of oil and gas firms Shell and Eni paid $1.1bn to the Nigerian
government for an offshore block containing estimated oil reserves of nine billion
barrels. The government then transferred precisely the same amount to an account
in the name of Malabu Oil & Gas, a phantom firm whose hidden owner was the
country’s former petroleum minister Dan Etete.

In 2008, the Zimbabwean army took control of the Marange diamond fields. Since
then, government diamond mining concessions have been allocated to several
companies in questionable circumstances – including Mbada Diamonds, which is
partly controlled through companies registered in the British Virgin Islands and
Mauritius.

I was just litening to the BBC news on the radio and the summery
from the NATO conference is that the US/UK are pushing for
another coalition of the willing to attack ISIS by air in Iraq
and possibly Syria as well. This looks like a set up to get rid
of President Assad thru the back door.

They tried last year to get the bombing of targets thru
Parliament last year and failed. Now with the ramping up
of ISIS attacks it would probably get Parliamentry
approval as a humanitarian act......

This is why it looks like an intelligence operation create
and cultivate ISIS. Let them loose then reign them in
taking out unco-operative leaders like Assad in the process..

ISIL preparing for offensive on air base in eastern Syria

Thursday 4th September 2014 at 04:03 By david-icke





‘The ISIL Takfiri terrorists are reportedly preparing for a major attack in the eastern
Syrian province of Dayr al-Zawr to take control of an air base.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Tuesday that the
militants were mobilizing as civilians escaped from the nearby villages.

Some 1,500 Syrian soldiers are stationed at the airbase in Dayr al-Zawr, which is
used by the Syrian air force for operations against ISIL positions in the province

MSM Bombshell - US Trained ISIS, Now We Know, They Want Us All Dead

http://www.stage2omega.com/msm-bombs...t-us-all-dead/

[Bob]

Confirmed - U.S. airstrikes Monday killed the leader of Somalia's al-Shabab militant group, Ahmed Abdi Godane

Al-Shabaab leader is no longer calling the "shots". Since 2008, Godane had commanded the group's militant operations, and forged a formal alliance with the al-Qaida terrorist network in 2012.

This group (and its sleeper cells in UK) is a prime concern for UK security. And a likely candidate for terrorist bombings in the motherland.

United States put a $7-million bounty on Godane through the Rewards for Justice Program - which targets terrorist leaders and their supporters.

But independent Horn of Africa analyst Abdiweli Sheikh Abdisamed says killing the group's leaders alone is not enough to stop al-Shabab.

“You can kill a person, you cannot kill the ideology. Ideology will take a long time,” he said.

Al-Shabab's high-profile and carefully plotted 2013 attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall - in which 67 people were killed - took place under Godane's watch.
