"When you are dealing with a world chain of financial consulates, all
linking up in a world system, none of them regarded as
American banks,
or British banks, or
French banks, or
Italian banks, or
German banks, but all of them
members of the World Banking System, you are obviously not dealing with
individuals who are trying to make a living." -
Henry Ford
1930
Bank for
International Settlements (BIS) is established by
Charles G. Dawes (Vice
President under Calvin
Coolidge from 1925-1929), Owen D. Young (founder of
RCA and Chairman of
General Electric from 1922 until 1939), and
Hjalmar Schacht of
Germany (President of the Reichsbank).
The BIS is the "international
central bank for the central bankers."
"The
international bankers
swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side and
issued their orders with the imperiousness of absolute monarchs." - Lloyd
George, British Prime Minister
The International Monetary Fund and the
World Bank deal with governments. The BIS deals only with other central banks.
The BIS is a closed corporation owned by the 55 central banks.
Major shareholders include the Federal Reserve,
Bank of England, Bank of Italy, Bank of
Canada, Swiss National Bank, Nederlandsche Bank, Bundesbank and Bank of
France.
The heads of these central banks travel to the Basel
headquarters once every two months, and the General Meeting, the BIS's supreme
executive body, takes place once a year.
The Basel headquarters are
listening device proof.
There are no public minutes of the meetings.
Everything discussed is confidential.
"Central bankers can
sometimes be prima donnas." - BIS SG Gunter Baer
"BIS promotes
monopoly capitalist fascism." -
Dean Henderson
Central bankers wield power that exceeds that of many
political leaders.
Their decisions affect entire economies.
Central bankers set interest
rates determining the cost of borrowing, the
overall money supply and
the speed of global financial
currents.
Central bankers are in charge of bank supervision in most
countries.
1932 "We
have in this country one of
the most corrupt institutions in the world.
I refer to the
Federal Reserve Board.
This evil
institution has impoverished and
bankrupt the US.
It has done this through the corrupt practices of
the moneyed vultures." -
Louis T. McFadden, chairman House Banking &
Currency
"Zionist financial
power dominates the entire world in its material affairs.
Concentrated Zionist power is
working in unison
to destroy the existing order of
things." - Arthur Nelson Field, The Truth About the
Slump
1934 "A warehouseman, taking goods
deposited with him and devoting them to his own profit, either by use or by
loan to another, is guilty of a tort,
a conversion of goods for which
he is liable in civil, if not in criminal, law.
By a casuistry which is
now elevated into an economic principle, but which has no defenders outside the
realm of banking, a warehouseman who deals in money is subject to a diviner
law: the banker is free to use for his private interest and profit the money
left in trust. . . . He may even go further.
He may create
fictitious deposits on his
books, which shall rank equally and ratably with
actual deposits in any
division of assets in case of
liquidation." - Elgin Groseclose, Institute for International Monetary
Research
The BIS, a corporation, has
the status of a sovereign power and is immune from all governmental control.
A summary of this
immunity bath is
listed below:
1) Diplomatic immunity for persons and what they carry
with them (i.e., diplomatic pouches).
2) No taxation on any
transactions, including
salaries paid to
employees.
3) Embassy-type immunity for all buildings and/or offices
operated by the BIS worldwide.
4) No oversight of operations by any
government authority, never audited.
5)
Freedom from immigration
restrictions.
6) Freedom to encrypt any and all communications of
any sort.
7) Freedom from any legal
jurisdiction, they have their own police force.
The first President
of BIS is Rockefeller banker Gates McGarrah - an official at
Chase Manhattan and the Federal Reserve.
McGarrah is the grandfather of
former CIA director
Richard Helms.
Gates
McGarrah, a director of the Astor Foundation and chairman of the New York
Federal Reserve, was a member of the Pilgrims Society.
Historian Carroll
Quigley says BIS was part of a plan, "to create a world system of financial
control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country
and the economy of the world in
a feudalistic fashion
by the central banks acting in
concert by secret agreements."
1933 "Practices of the
unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in
the court of public
opinion, rejected by the
hearts and minds of men. The money
changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our
civilization." - Franklin D
Roosevelt inaugural address

a world system of financial
control in private hands.
This system was to be controlled by a
world central bank acting in concert through secret agreements arrived at in
frequent meetings and conferences.
The apex of the system is the Bank
For International Settlements - a private bank owned by state central banks,
themselves private
corporations.

Mark-to-market or
fair market value accounting
refers to inflating asset values to assume predicted market return at time of
future sale.
This is an unrealistic valuing strategy as true fair market
value can only be known for certain at the point the exchange contract is
executed.
Fair value accounting becomes a part of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) in the US.
Enron used the
concept of
fair market value to inflate the
future value of electricity transmission held by off-balance-sheet "special
purpose" entities as futures
contracts which lead to the collapse of the
Enron energy futures
exchange.
Failure to employee mark-to-market is given by
Wall Street as the mitigating cause

Lynch.

Naylor's prediction of the "mass criminalization of the financial business" and
the worst fears of Interpol chief Raymond Kendall have both come to
pass.
The BIS informed the author that "derivatives embedded in loans,
securities, and other on-balance sheet
assets (e.g. credit-linked notes) do not fall within the scope of our OTC
derivatives statistics and are therefore not reported to us unless they are a
derivative instrument that must be treated separately under FAS 133 or IAS 39.
This means that the $835 trillion in outstanding derivatives positions
reported to the BIS in June 2012 did not include the subprime mortgages market,
which De Soto estimated in excess of $500 trillion in 2009.
It is
reasonable to infer that at least one reason why the Federal Reserve has tried
to keep interest rates so low for so long is to avoid upsetting the derivatives
markets and the related hedge books of banks and other corporations." -
Patricia Goldstone

Chronic Illness and Bankruptcy
#1 Reason Americans File for Bankruptcy
March 23, 2009 Treasury Secretary Timothy Franz
Geithner, a protégé of
Henry Kissinger,
announces his latest plan which seeks to harness government and private
resources to purchase an initial half-trillion dollars of off-balance-sheet
toxic debt of investment banks.
Timothy Franz Geithner holds out the
expectation that the program will eventually could grow to $1 trillion.
"Here's the scenario:
The borrower is a retailer that has been
in business for 26 years.
They have five retail outlets, employ 90
people, have revenue of over $10 million and are
well-respected members
of their community.
In 2007, its bank approved a term loan to
expand the business.
The term loan balance is $650,000.
They
also have a $1 million working capital line of credit for inventory and they
owe $800,000.
The loan is supported by the personal guarantees of the
two business owners and UCC filings on the incorporation assets, which is
basically inventory.
The last three years, financial statements reflect
a decrease in revenue (sales) and they have sustained losses.
When the
bank made the term loan, the business's
financial statements already reflected losses.
Nonetheless, the bank wrote
covenants into their loan
agreement that required the business to produce a certain level of
profitability.
If the business did not meet this level of
profitability, the loan could be called for
"technical default" of the covenant.
From day one, the bank waived this requirement.
That is, until
this year, when they placed the loan in their "special assets/workout division"
and subsequently "called" the
loan.
The bank demanded payment in full by April 1.
It is
important to understand that this businmess never missed even one payment on
either loan.
The owners were working diligently to reduce expenses.
They hired seasoned retail consultants to guide them through the
process of restructuring their business so that they would be able to remain in
business.
The owners showed every willingness to work with the bank and
make the changes that would bring them through this
economic crisis with all commitments
met as agreed.
The owners were faced with the realization that the bank
was going to close them down.
Their new loan officers,
the decision
makers, were in another state and communicated with them through e-mail.
Let's examine the stupidity and short-sightedness of this bank's
decision.
If the bank demands payment in full on the loan, they put the
company out of business.
The bank will then sell the inventory and
perhaps get 50 cents on the dollar for the inventory.
The bank will
still sustain a loss of $750,000.
Additionally, the 90
employees will now
be out of work.
And five pieces of commercial property would become
vacant and no longer produce cash flow (rent) to the landlords.
If the
landlords cannot fill the space, and don't have the rental income, it is likely
that they will not be able to make their mortgage payments on the commercial
properties.
The domino
effect is astounding." - Joe Nocera March 10,

Secretive Swiss banks play a key role." - Dean Henderson

August 15, 2019 Blackrock
Inc., the world's most powerful investment fund (managing around $7 trillion in
stock and bond funds), issues a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn.
Essentially, the
paper instructs the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directly into the
financial system to prevent “a dramatic downturn.”
Again, the
message is unequivocal: “An unprecedented response is needed when monetary
policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough.
That
response will likely involve 'going direct': “finding ways to get central
bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders”
while avoiding “hyperinflation. Examples include the Weimar Republic in
the 1920s as well as Argentina and Zimbabwe more recently.” - Fabio

officially inaugurated by a sudden spike in the repo rates (from 2% to 10.5%).
'Repo' is shorthand for 'repurchase agreement', a contract where
investment funds lend money against collateral assets (normally Treasury
securities).
At the time of the exchange, financial operators (banks)
undertake to buy back the assets at a higher price, typically overnight.
In brief, repos are short-term collateralized loans.
They are
the main source of funding for traders in
the derivatives galaxy.
A lack of liquidity in the repo market can have a devastating domino
effect on all major financial sectors." - Fabio Vighi

gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church

pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the

American social mores and values have declined precipitously
over the last century as the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel
