If you are picking up this publication for the first time and

wondering what we are all about, the answer is freedom.We stand behind the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the

concept of 1776 expanding worldwide the idea of liberty all

over the planet.

We are a firewall standing between liberty and the tyranny

of a corporatist and monopolist system that is diabolically op-

posed to freedom and the free market, especially when it comes

to media and the unrestricted flow of information.

We oppose wireless NSA wiretapping and the secret arrest of

Americans under the NDAA. We oppose endless and criminal

proxy wars carried out in our names. We oppose the persecu-tion of people for religious or cultural reasons.

We are not left or right. We are constitutionalists. Because

Obama is currently the titular head of the global empire and

crime syndicate, a lot of this publication will be about his actions.

In the past, we were critical of Bush. We will also examine Rom-

ney and others who may replace Obama and his administration.

Infowars.com and Prison Planet.com, our flagship websites,

are rated by Alexa.com and similar metrics that gauge web

traffic as the top alternative media site in the world. Infowars.

com receives about twice the traffic of MSNBC.com.News via print is dying as a result of a perfect storm. People are

abandoning corporate newspapers and print publications and

instead are flocking to the web as so-called mainstream newspa-

pers just regurgitate corporate and government talking points.

Mainstream news is also dying online this is why we are able to

dominate them with film, videos, and our news websites.

Print is impervious to a government kill switch and any other

electronic scheme designed to shut down areas of the web the

government wants censored. Digital and networked technology

make it easy for corporate control freaks to track down dissi-

dents, delete their words and even kill audio files of their voic-

es, as they have done with my voice on YouTube. Corporations

have gone so far as to claim copyright on voices, including that

of Optimus Prime, a character from the Transformers franchise.

Thats right YouTube is now adhering to third party claims of

ownership many of them erroneous to peoples own voices,

and using this as a pretext to delete content representing a

new frontier of censorship via copyright.

Automated software bots are now being used to preemptively

censor content with no due process whatsoever.

Kindle recently demonstrated how it is possible to removecontent when it invaded privately owned devices without

permission or warning and deleted ebooks. As Apple co-found-

er Steve Wozniak recently warned, the very idea of cloud

computing poses a threat to the existence of digital materialand the idea of individual ownership. The director of the CIA

has admitted that the Internet is a surveillance tool that even

gives smart appliances the ability to spy on you.

This censorship war amounts to nothing less than electronic

book burning, where words and ideas can be digitally erased

from the cloud. The automated bots will now do the work of

the firemen in Ray Bradburys dystopian classic "Fahrenheit 451."

Print makes this sort of censorship virtually impossible. It

allows you to hold a physical copy in your hand a physical

copy that you can now pick up in your city or order onlinein bulk at cost price at www.infowarsshop.com and give to

friends and family.

Were going back to the very roots of free speech the

Gutenberg printing press while also continuing to expand in

an increasingly restrictive Internet space, where cybersecurity

legislation is little different from what the state is doing to the

freedom of expression in Russia. More and more, the web is

darkening as our authoritarian government expands its reach.

While we continue to fight for Internet and cyber freedom, it

is important to embrace print at a time when everyone is aban-doning it. Print media is important because it is not dependent

on a device that can be controlled, disabled or turned off by a

government kill switch or at the whim of a corporation. All you

need are your eyes; print gives the power to the reader.

Over the next year, we will transition from a monthly to a

weekly publication. We will also launch a franchising of the pub-

lication within the next few months. This will allow others that

share a passionate love of liberty to add their local stories to our

national and international content. Franchising will also allow

you to share ad space. In addition, we will offer a digital copy of

the publication which you can receive for FREE. All you have to

do is sign up for our newsletter at infowars.com/newsletter.

Ultimately, the success of this new venture is up to you and

other liberty lovers eager to see the message of resistance de-

livered across all media. Hopefully we will serve as an example

that will help lead print back from oblivion and make it a truly

useful activist tool in the fight against global control freaks

determined to dominate all media and to wipe out the message

of resistance as they move to consolidate power and dominate

the world.

The senseless and horrific killings at the movietheater in Colorado reminded Americans that

life is fragi le and beautiful, and we should not

take family, friends, and loved ones for granted.

Our prayers go out to the injured victims and the

families of those killed. As a nation we should

use this terrible event to come together

with the re solve to c reate a society that

better values life.

We should also face the sober real-

ity that government cannot protect

us from all possible harm. No matter

how many laws we pass, no matter

how many police or federal agents

we put on the streets, no matter how

routinely we monitor Internet com-

munications, a determined individual

or group can still cause great harm. We

as individuals are responsible for our

safety and the safety of our families.

Furthermore, it is the role of civil society

rather than government to build a culture of

responsible, peaceful, productive individuals.

Government cannot mandate morality or instill

hope in troubled individuals. External

controls on our behavior imposed

by government through

laws, police, and jails

usually apply only

after a terrible crime

has occurred.

Internal selfgovernance, by

contrast, is a much

more powerful regulator of human behavior than any law.This self-governance must be developed from birth, first

by parents but later also through the positive influence of

relatives and adult role models. Beyond childhood, char-

acter development can occur through religious, civic, and

social institutions. Ultimately, self-governance cannot be

developed without an underlying foundation of morality.

Government, however, is not a moral actor. The

state should protect our rights, but it cannot develop

our character. Whenever terrible crimes occur, many

Americans understandably demand that government

do something to prevent similar crimes in the future.

But this reflexive impulse almost always leads to bad

laws and the loss of liberty.

Do we really want to live in a world of police check-

points, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors? Do

we really bel ieve government can provide total security?

Do we want to involuntarily commit every disaffected,

disturbed, or alienated person who fantasizes about vio-

lence? Or can we accept that liberty is more important

than the illusion of state-provided security?

Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined bythe ability of citizens to live without government inter-

ference. Government cannot create a world without risks,

nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place.

Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute

safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total

state control over its citizens lives. Liberty has meaning

only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen

and a false government security blanket beckons.

costs are counted the Iraq invasion cost U.S. taxpayers

$3 trillion. Ditto for the Afghan war. In other words,

the two gratuitous wars doubled the U.S. public debt.

This is the reason there is no money for Social Security,

Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, the environment and

the social safety net.

Americans got nothing out of the wars, but as the

war debt will never be paid off, U.S. cit izens and their

descendants will have to pay interest on $6,000 billionof war debt in perpetuity.

Not content with these wars, the Bush/Obama

regime is conducting military operations in violation

of international law in Pakistan, Yemen and Africa,

organized the overthrow by armed conflict of the gov-

ernment in Libya, is currently working to overthrow

the Syrian government and continues to marshal mil-

itary forces against Iran.

Finding the Muslim adversaries that Washington

created insufficient for its energies and budget,Washington has encircled Russia with military bases

and has begun the encirclement of China. Washington

has announced that the bulk of its naval forces will

be shifted to the Pacific over the next few years, and

Washington is working to reestablish its naval base

in the Philippines, construct a new one on a South

Korean island, acquire a naval base in Vietnam and air

and troop bases elsewhere in Asia.

In Thailand, Washington is attempting to purchase

with the usual bribes an air base used in the Vietnam

War. There is opposition as the country does not wish

to be drawn into Washingtons orchestrated conflict

with China. Downplaying the real reason for the

airbase, Washington, according to Thai newspapers,told the Thai government that the base was needed

for humanitarian missions. This didnt fly. So

Washington had NASA ask for the ai r base in order to

conduct weather experiments. Whether this ruse is

sufficient cover remains to be seen.

U.S. Marines have been sent to Australia and else-

where in Asia.

To corral China and Russia (and Iran) is a massive

undertaking for a country that is financially busted.

With wars and bankster bailouts, Bush and Obamahave doubled the U.S. national debt while failing to

address the disintegration of the U.S. economy and ris-

ing hardships of U.S. citizens.

The annual U.S. budget deficit is adding to the accu-

mulated debt at about $1.5 trillion per year with no

In a recent column, Can The World Survive

Washingtons Hubris, I promised to examine

whether the U.S. economy will collapse before

Washington in its pursuit of world hegemony brings

us into military confrontation with Russia and China.

This is likely to be an ongoing subject, so this column

will not be the final word.

Washington has been at war since October 2001,

when President George W. Bush concocted an excuse toorder the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. This war took a

back seat when Bush concocted another excuse to order

the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a war that went on with-

out significant success for eight years and has left Iraq

in chaos with dozens more killed and wounded every

day, a new strong man in place of the illegally executed

former strongman and the likelihood of the ongoing

violence becoming civil war.

Upon his election, President Obama foolishly

sent more troops to Afghanistan and renewed theintensity of that war, now in its eleventh year, to no

successful effect.

These two wars have been expensive. According to

estimates by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, when all

move away from its use to settle their balance of payments, could set off

inflation that would take interest rates out of the Feds control. As interest

rates rise, bond prices fall.

In other words, bonds are now the bubble that real estate, stocks, and

derivatives were. When this bubble pops, Americans will take another

big hit to their remaining wealth.

It makes no sense to invest in long-term bonds at negative interest

rates when the federal government is piling up debt that the FederalReserve is monetizing and when other countries are moving away

from the flood of dollars. The potential for a rising rate of inflation is

high from debt monetization and from a drop in the dollars exchange

value. Yet, bond fund por tfol io managers have to follow the herd into

longer term maturities or see their performance relative to their peers

drop to the bottom of the rankings.

Some individual investors and foreign central banks, anticipating the

dollars loss of value, are accumulating gold and silver bullion. Realizing

the danger to the dollar and its policy from the rapid rise in the price of

bullion during 2011, the Federal Reserve has arranged offsetting action.When the demand for physical bullion drives up the price, short sales of

bullion in the paper market are used to drive the price back down.

Similarly, when investors begin to flee Treasuries, thus causing interest

rates to rise, J.P. Morgan and other dependencies of the Federal

Reserve sell interest-rate swaps, thus offsetting the effect on

interest rates of the bond sales. (Keep in mind that

interest rates rise when bond prices

fall and vice versa.)

The point of all this

information is to e s t a b l i s hthat except for the 1 percent, the

incomes and wealth of Americans

are being cut back across the

board. From 2002 through 2011

the economy lost 3.5 mill ion

manufacturing jobs. These jobs

were replaced with lower-paying

waitress and bar- tender jobs

(1.2 million), ambu- latory health

care service jobs (1.5 mill ion) and

social assistance jobs (578,000).

These replacement jobs in

domestic services mean that

on a net basis U.S. c o n s u m e r

income was moved out of the

country. Potential a g g r e g a t e

demand in the U.S. dropped by

the differences in pay in the job cat-

egories. Clearly and u n a m b i g u -

ously, job-offshoring lowered U.S.

disposable income and U.S. GDPand, thereby, employment.

Despite the lack of an economic

base, Washingtons hegemonic aspirations continue unabated. Other coun-

tries are amused at Washingtons unawareness. Russia, China, India, Brazil

and South Africa are forming an agreement to abandon the U.S. dollar as

the currency for international sett lement between themselves.

On July 4 the China Daily reported, Japanese politicians and promi-

nent academics from China and Japan urged Tokyo on Tuesday to aban-

don its outdated foreign policy of leaning on the West and accept China

as a key partner as important as the United States. The Tokyo Consensus,a joint statement issued at the end of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum, also cal led

on both countries to expand trade and promote a free-trade agreement

for China, Japan and South Korea.

This means that Japan is in play.

The Chinese government, more intelligent than Washington, is

prospect of declining. The financial system

is broken and requires ongoing bailouts. The

economy is busted and has been unable to cre-

ate high-paying jobs, indeed any jobs. Despite

years of population growth, payroll employ-

ment as of mid-2012 is the same as in 2005 and

substantially below 2008. Yet, the government

and financial presstitute media tell us that wehave a recovery.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics, employment in 2011 was only 1

million more than in 2002. As it takes about

150,000 new jobs each month to stay even

with population growth, that leaves a decade

long job deficit of 15 million jobs.

The U.S. unemployment and inflation rates

are far higher than reported. In previous col-

umns I have explained, based on statisticianJohn Williams work, the reasons that the gov-

ernments headline numbers are serious under-

statements. The headline (U3) unemployment

rate of 8.2 percent counts no discouraged

workers who have given up on finding a job.

The government has a second unemployment

rate (U6), seldom reported, which includes

short-term discouraged workers. That rate

is 15 percent. When the long-term discour-

aged workers are added in, the current U.S.unemployment rate is 22 percent, a number

closer to the unemployment rate of the Great

Depression than to the unemployment rates of

postwar recessions.

Changes in the way inflation is measured

have destroyed the Consumer Price Index

(CPI) as a measure of the cost of living. The

new methodology is substitution based. If the

price of an item in the index rises, a lower

priced alternative takes its place. In addition,

some price rises are labeled quality improve-

ments whether they are or not and thus do not

show up in the CPI. People still have to pay the

higher price, but it is not counted as inflation.

Currently, the substitution-based rate of

inflation is about 2 percent. However, when

inflation is measured as the actual cost of liv-

ing, the rate of inflation is 5 percent.

The Misery Index is the sum of the inflation

and unemployment rates. The level of the cur-

rent Misery Index depends on whether the newrigged measures are used, which understate

the misery, or the former methodology that

accurately measures it.

Prior to the November 1980 election, the

Misery Index hit 22 percent, which was one

reason for Reagans victory over President

Carter. Today if we use previous methodology,

the Misery Index stands at 27 percent. But

if we use the new rigged methodology, the

Misery Index is 10 percent.The understatement of inflation serves to

boost Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is

calculated in current dollars. To be able to

determine whether GDP rose because of price

rises or because of increases in real output,

GDP is deflated by the CPI. The higher the

inflation rate, the less the growth in real output

and vice versa. When the substitution based

methodology is used to measure inflation, the

U.S. economy experienced real growth in the

21st century except for the sharp dip during

2008 to 2010. However, if the cost-of-living

based methodology is used, except for a shortperiod during 2004, the U.S. economy has

experienced no real growth since 2000.

In the chart above, the lower measure (blue)

of real GDP is deflated with the inflation meth-

odology that measured cost-of-living. The

higher GDP measure (red) deflates GDP with

the new substitution based methodology.

The lack of employment and real GDP growth

go together with the decline in real household

median income. The growth in consumer debtsubstituted for the lack of income growth

and kept the economy going until consumers

exhausted their ability to take on more debt.

With the consumer dead in the water, the out-

look for economic recovery is poor.

Politicians and the Federal Reserve are mak-

ing the outlook even worse. At a time of high

unemployment and debt-stressed households,

politicians at local, state and federal levels

are cutting back on government provision ofhealth care, pensions, food stamps, housing

subsidies and every other element of the social

safety net. These cutbacks, of course, further

reduce aggregate demand and the ability of

income-stressed Americans to survive.

The Federal Reserve has interest rates so low

that retirees and others living on their savings

can earn nothing on their money. The inter-

est rates paid on bank CDs and government

and corporate bonds are lower than the rate

of inflation. To live on interest income, a per-

son has to purchase Greek, Spanish, or Italian

bonds and run the risk of capital loss. The

Federal Reserves policy of negative interest

rates forces retirees to spend down their cap-

ital in order to live. In other words, the Feds

policy is destroying personal savings as people

are forced to spend their capital in order to

cover living expenses.

In June, the Federal Reserve announced that

it was going to continue its policy of drivingnominal interest rates even lower, this time

focusing on long-term Treasury bonds. The Fed

said it would be purchasing $400 billion of the

Treasurys 30-year bonds.

Driving interest rates down means driving

bond prices up. With 5-year Treasury bonds

paying only seven-tenths of 1 percent and

10-year Treasury bonds paying only 1.6 per-

cent, below even the official rate of inflation,

Americans desperate for yield move into30-year bonds currently paying 2.7 percent.

However, the high bond prices mean that the

risk of capital loss is very high.

Chinese economy is now as large as the U.S. and on far

firmer footing, and as Japan now has more trade with

China than with the U.S., the enticement is appealing.

Washington, which flicked its middle finger to inter-national law and to its own law and Constitution with

its arrogance and gratuitous and illegal wars and with

its assertion of the right to murder its own citizens

to subsidize Washingtons wars of hegemony.

Washington is becoming an isolated and despised

How is money created? If you ask average people on the street this

question, most of them have absolutely no idea. This is rather odd,

because we all use money constantly.

You would think that it would only be natural for all of us to know

where it comes from. So where does money come from? A lot of people assume

that the federal government creates our money, but that is not the case. If the

federal government could just print and spend more money whenever it wanted

to, our national debt would be zero. But instead, our national debt is now nearly

$16 trillion. So why does our government (or any sovereign government for that

matter) have to borrow money from anybody? That is a very good question.

The truth is that in theory the U.S. government does not have to borrow a

single penny from anyone. But under the Federal Reserve system, the U.S.

government has purposely allowed itself to be subjugated to a financial system

in which it will be constantly borrowing larger and larger amounts of money.

In fact, this is how it works in the vast majority of the countries on the planet

at this point. As you will see, this kind of system is not sustainable, and the

structural problems caused by such a system are at the very heart of our debt

problems today.

So where does money come from? In the United States, it comes from the

Federal Reserve.

When the U.S. government decides that it wants to spend another billion

dollars that it does not have, it does not print up a bill ion dollars.

Rather, the U.S. government creates a bunch of U.S. Treasury bonds (debt)and takes them over to the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve creates a billion dollars out of thin air and exchanges

them for the U.S. Treasury bonds.

So why does the U.S. government go to all this trouble? Why doesnt the U.S.

government create the money itself?

Those are very good questions.

One of the primary reasons why our system is structured this way is so that

wealthy people can get even wealthier by lending money to the U.S. government

and other national governments.

For example, last year the U.S. government spent more than $454 billion juston interest on the national debt.

Over the centuries, the ultra-wealthy have found lending to national

governments to be a very, very profitable enterprise.

The U.S. Treasury bonds that the Federal Reserve receives in exchange for

the money it has created out of nothing

are auctioned off through the Federal

Reserve system.

But wait. There is a problem.

Because the U.S. government must

pay interest on the treasury bonds, the

amount of debt that has been created

by this transaction is greater than the

amount of money that has been created.

So where will the U.S. government get

the money to pay that debt?

Well, the theory is that we can

get money to circulate through theeconomy really, really fast and tax it at

a high enough rate that the government

wil l be able to collect enough taxes to

pay the debt.

But that never actually happens, does it?

And the creators of the Federa l

Reserve understood this as well. They

understood that the government would

not have enough money to both run the

government and service the nationaldebt. They knew that the government

would have to keep borrowing even

more money in an attempt to keep up

with the game.

That is why I call the Federal Reserve

a perpetual debt machine. The Federal

Reserve was created to trap the

government in an endlessly expanding

debt spiral from which there is no escape.

And the Federal Reserve is doing a great

job at what it was designed to do. Today,

the US national debt is more than 5,000

times larger than it was when the Federal

Reserve was first created.

Another way that money comes into

existence in our economy is through the

process of fractional reserve banking.

I originally pulled the followingsimplified explanation of fractional

reserve banking off of the website of the

Federal Reserve Bank of New York, but

it has been pulled down since then. But

I still think it is helpful in understanding

the basics of how fractional reserve

banking works.

If the reserve requirement is 10 percent,

for example, a bank that receives a $100

deposit may lend out $90 of that deposit.If the borrower then writes a check to

someone who deposits the $90, the bank

receiving that deposit can lend out $81.

As the process continues, the banking

system can expand the initial deposit of

$100 into a maximum of $1,000 of money

($100+$90+81+$72.90+=$1,000).

When you put your money into the

bank, it does not say there. The bank only

keeps a relatively small amount of money

sitting around to satisfy the withdrawal

demands of account holders. If all of us

went down to the banks right now and

demanded our money, that would create

a major problem.If I put $100 into the bank and the bank

lends out 90 of those dollars to you, now it

looks like there are $190 floating around.

I have $100 in my bank account and you

have $90 that you just borrowed.

The new debt that you have taken on

($90) has created more money. But of

course you are going to end up paying

back more than $90 to the bank, so more

debt has been created than the amount ofmoney that has been created.

And that is one of the big problems with

our financial system. It is designed so

that the amount of debt and the amount

of money are supposed to be perpetually

expanding, and the amount of debt

created is always greater than the amount

of money that is created.

So is it any wonder that our society is

swamped with nearly $55 trillion of total

debt at this point?

A debt-based financial system is

unsustainable by nature because it will

always create debt bubbles that will

inevitably burst.

Are you starting to see why so many

Americans are saying that we need to

abolish the Federal Reserve system?

Our founding fathers never intended for

our financial system to work this way.

According to Article I, Section 8 of theU.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is

supposed to have the authority to coin

Money, regulate the Value thereof, and

of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of

Weights and Measures.

So why has this authority been given

to a private institution that is dominated

by the big Wall Street banks and that has

actually argued in court that it is not an

agency of the federal government?Thomas Jefferson once said that if he

could add just one more amendment to

the U.S. Constitution it would be a ban on

all government borrowing:

I wish it were possible to obtain a

single amendment to our Constitution. I

would be willing to depend on that alone

for the reduction of the administration

of our government to the genuine

principles of its Constitution; I mean an

additional article, taking from the federal

government the power of borrowing.

But instead, we have become enslaved

to a system where government borrowing

actually creates our money.The borrower is the servant of the

lender, and we have allowed our

government to enslave us to the tune of

nearly $16 tri llion.

There are alternatives to this system.

Things do not have to work this way.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of

our politicians consider the Federal

Reserve to be good for America and

steadfastly refuse to do anything to

change the status quo.

So if you are waiting for solutions

to these problems on the national level

you are going to be waiting for a very

long time.

The debt problems that the United

States and Europe are experiencing did

not come into existence by accident. They

are the result of fundamental structural

problems with the financial system.

A debt-based financial system is

always going to fail in the long run.

Unfortunately, most Americans still do

not understand this and so we will all

get to suffer the consequences.

A

mericans know, deep in their bones, that

something terrible is happening.

Maybe you can't articulate it. Maybe you

don't have the statistics to understand exactlywhat's going on. But my bet is, you think about it a lot.

If you are at all like me, you know something has

gone wrong with America that's critical to our national

prosperity, something that jeopardizes the future for

our children and ourselves.

Something that threatens both the financial order,

like the stock market, and the political order.

Well today, Id like to help identify the real problem

with America, by telling two quick stor ies.

Both of these stories will give you a very good idea

about the current state of our nation and about where

we are heading next.

The first story involves some of the most powerful,

richest and most-connected people in the country.

Why Are TheseGuys Not In Jail?

Last fall, Bloomberg published an article based on

confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the

former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S.

Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a

secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers

in New York City in late July 2008.

This was about two weeks after he testified to

Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were

"well capitalized."

I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress

wasn't true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter

detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainlyhad billions of dollars in losses that they had not yet

revealed to investors$500 billion in losses, at least.

There was no question in my mindboth companies

were insolvent"zeros," as I expla ined.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury

Secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was

a liar...or he was.

Then...only a few days later...what did Paulson tell

those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in mynewsletter. He told them the opposite of what he'd said

publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors

that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster. They would

require an enormous, multi-billion-dollar bailout. The

U.S. government would have to take them over, and

their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

Here you had a high-government official explicitly

lying to Congress (and by extension, the general pub-

lic), while giving the real facts to a group of peoplewho represented the financial interests of the world's

wealthiest folks. The story didn't come to the public's

attention for two years.

This was the most outrageous example of graft and

corruption I had ever seen. Certainly it involves more

billions of dollars in misappropriated value than any

other similar story that I can recall. These managers

had the risk-free ability to make tensif not hun-

dredsof billions of dollars by using derivatives to cap-

italize on what they knew was the imminent collapse of

the world's largest mortgage bank.

Who picked up the tab? You know perfectly well: It

was you and me, the taxpayers.

In an interesting side note: One of the investment

managers present at this meeting was Steve Rattner,

who at that point was already deeply involved in

another bit of graft: his efforts to bribe New York state

pension-fund managers for large investments into his

hedge fund, from which he earned perhaps as much as

$100 million. He later settled the charges for a mere

$10 million shortly after Andrew Cuomo was elected

governor of New York.

The Bloomberg story about a crooked Treasury sec-

retary handing a room full of crooked billionaires'

inside information worth billions of dollars hardly

caused a ripple.

As far as I know, no actions are being planned against

Henry Paulson or any of the hedge-fund managers

involved. No other major media outlet picked up the

story. I saw nothing about it from the Department of

Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission.What does that say about our country when even the

most egregious kind of corruptioninvolving hun-

dreds of billions of dollarsis simply ignored?

It seems like everyone in our country has lost moral

bearing, from the highest government officials and

senior corporate leaders all the way down to school-

teachers and local community leaders.

And heres the point: the ethos of my fellow Americans

seems to have changed from one of personal integ-

rity and responsibility to "getting yours"an all-outattempt, by any means possible, to get the most amount

of benefits with the least amount of work.

Think Im exaggerating?

Well, that brings me to my second story, about

a group of people who are probably the most

egregious, money-grubbing and immoral class in

America today: r eti rees.

Now hold on...before you start sending hate mail my

way, keep in mind, I'm not talking about al l retirees.

No, there's a very special group who exhibit some of

the most disgusting behavior I have ever seen, even

though they are technically not breaking the law.

Let me show you an example of what I mean...

The Man With 10

JobsBellwood, Illinois is a small, mostly black residential

suburb of about 20,000 people, located just south of

O'Hare Airport.

It's about a 15-mile commute straight east todowntown Chicago.

The median salary in Bellwood is $57,000 a year,

according to recent census reports.

When I did a recent search on the Zillow real estate

website, I found just over 300 houses l isted for sale in

Bellwood right now.

Just one of these homes is listed at a price higher than

$200,000, and only 12 are listed above $100,000.

In other words, this is not a particularly wealthy place.

But the little town of Bellwood made news recently

when a story came out in the Chicago Tribune about a

local, white official named Roy McCampbell.

You see, for running this lit tle suburb West of

Chicago, Mr. McCampbell made an astonishing

amount of money.

In his final year before retirement, McCampbell

pulled in a whopping $472,255.

How did he make so muchmore than any other

municipal executive in the entire state of Illinois?

Well, according to McCampbell, he did the work of

10 people for Bellwood. This is great, comical really.

Let me show you the list of jobs McCampbell claims

to have done:

Comptroller, administrator, public safety CEO,

finance director, budget director, human resources

director, mayoral assistant, corporation counsel,

property commission director and development cor-

poration officer.

But hold on... it gets better...

As par t of his contract , McCampbel l was al lowed

FIVE MONTHS worth of sick days each year, startingin May of 2008.

Yes, you read that correctly... he got F IVE MONTHS

worth of sick days every single year.

And because it's completely impossible for anyone to

take five months of sick days in a year, especially when

you are doing the jobs of 10 people!, McCampbel l was

able to get paid for many of the sick days he never took.

This brought his salary up to close to half a million

dollars a year.

When asked about his pay, McCampbell told theTribune, "I didn't hold a gun to any body's head to get

this. I'm not try ing to do anything bad."

What kind of world do we live in where neither this

guy, nor any of the other local officials who approved

this contract, see a problem with this situation?

Welcome to Corruption, USAwritten by porter stansberry

PRISONPLANET.COM

And wait... theres sti ll more...

McCampbell also was given a free car and free gas

all paid by the taxpayers, who also covered his pre-

miums for health and life insurance, as well as his

pension contributions.

Asked by the Tribune if he ever felt like he was being

overpaid, McCampbell told the paper, "I truly didn't."

And to top it all off, taxpayers are stil l not done pay-

ing Mr. McCampbell.

Because of salary bumps, bonuses and cashing out his

unpaid sick leave, McCampbell was able to dramatically

increase his final year's pay, which in turn gives him a

pension estimated to be as high as $264,000 a year.

McCampbell, who was 55 years old when he

retired, could conceivably live another 30 years or

more, which could make his inflated pension worth

nearly $8 million.

And don' t forget , he did n't contr ibute a singl e

penny towards his pensionthat was also covered

by the taxpayers.

Unfortunately, in America today, there are Roy

McCampbells in every state, town, municipality and in

every level of government.

The $5 MillionTollbooth Worker

Maybe you heard about the tollbooth worker from

New York whose average salary was $70,000 a year.

Believe it or not, that's not the absurd part of this story,

although that in and of itself is pretty amazing.

Whats remarkable about this tollbooth worker is howhe was able to legally steal millions from taxpayers in

the coming years.

What this fellow did was work tons of overtime and

cash in dozens of sick days, which more than doubled

his final year's salary to $150,000.

Because his pension is based on his last year of work,

this guy will get a pension of $120,000 a year for the

rest of his life! That's 71 percent more than his highest

year of regular pay.

He's only 50 years old, which means taxpayers could

easily be on the hook for $5 million or more in total.

And like I said, these stories are the new normal

in what I call Corruption USA, where its all about

taking as much as possible, even if you didnt earn it

and dont deserve it.

The exact same thing is going on in every state, in every

county and in every municipality of America today.

We have state-funded janitors, firefighters, cops, may-

ors, council members, administrators, etc. who are retir-

ing as early as possible (some in their mid-40s), setting

themselves up for payouts of millions of dollars for the

rest of their lives, because of outrageous public pensions.

In my mind, this "pension padding" is the exact same

thing as stealing. You are taking money you didn't earn

and don't deserve.

And it happens at ever y level of government ,

starting at the top.

USA Today recently did a study on how various legis-lators around the country pad their final year's salary,

and thus their pension:

"Kentucky legislators add their annual allowance for

stationeryup to $1,500 for senators and $750 for

House membersplus another $15,000 to $17,000 a

year in expense payments to the salary on which pen-

sions are based. Connecticut lawmakers can increase

their pensions up to 50 percent by including mileage

reimbursements that add as much as $15,500 a year to

the salaries used to calculate their pensions."So the new normal is for government employees to

pad their final year salaries, then retire early, often on

pensions fattened by gaming the corrupt system.

It's a complete disgrace and another prime example of

what I call The Corruption of America.

Theres no doubt that something has gone terribly

wrong in our country.

Something has corrupted our society in a profound

way, to the point where most people in our coun-

try think it's normal to defraud the government, or

refuse to pay their debts, or even steal from their

employers or shareholders.

In fact, Id go so far as to say that almost every prob-

lem we face today is really only a reflection of the more

important things our country has lostlike our sense of

honor, humility and the dedication to personal respon-

sibility, which made America the greatest hope for man-

kind for more than 200 years.

As Americas engineered economic implo-

sion accelerates, the parallels with how the

Roman empire fell are staggering. It is now

abundantly clear that the ruling class is pre-

paring for a planned economic implosion after which

they will declare themselves the saviors.

A recent Reuters report highlighting how the Federal

Reserve has been telling major banks in the U.S. to

prepare for a worst case scenario financial collapse

and that these banks would not be able to rely on gov-

ernment support underscores once again how the elite

are positioning themselves to exploit the next leg of theorchestrated financial meltdown.

Just as happened in the aftermath of 2008, the rul-

ing class is getting ready to offer the solution of more

centralized control and more financial serfdom as the

solution to the problem they created in the first place.

By making the public and industry beg for QE3, the

Federal Reserve will once again try to manipulate the

crisis to portray itself as the guardian of a fragile sys-

tem and accumulate yet more power.

America is now ruled by a gaggle of completely corruptfinancial terrorists who will stop at nothing to hollow out

the country in pursuit of their own maniacal and selfish

gain.

This precisely parallels Romes rapacious ruling

Emperors and Senators of the fifth century who were

so obsessed with seizing wealth and control that they

ended up destroying their own culture, their own coun-

try and its empire in the process.

Just as in Rome, while the ruling elite got filthy rich,

the people struggled and starved.More than 100 million Americans are now on gov-

ernment welfare, a third of the entire country, and that

figure doesnt even include Social Security or Medicare.

22.3 million households and 46.5 million Americans

have now entered technical poverty and live off food

stamps.

Just as in Rome, where the need to constantly gener-

ate revenue to satisfy the cost of defense and a sprawl-

ing bureaucracy ultimately led to the country becoming

bankrupt as Nero and subsequently emperors hiked up

taxes and debased the currency, America is hurtling

towards a similar fate.

Entitlement spending, military defense and a

bloated federal bureaucracy has left the United

States almost $16 trillion dollars in debt, and the

prospect of QE3 threatens to sink the dollar as theworld reserve cur rency for good.

Just as Romans found their currency becoming

increasingly worthless, the U.S. dollar has lost almost

100 per cent of its value since 1900.

Just like Rome, America was once a Republic that has

been hijacked and turned into an empire. Just as the

Roman Empire crumbled under its rulers inability to

afford its maintenance, Americas overseas presence

(the U.S. has troops in a staggering 130 countries), is

bankrupting the country.Like America, Rome once had an influential middle

class whose wealth allowed them to have a political

stake in their country. Merchants and traders were able

to prosper because taxes were modest and economic

regulation was relaxed. However, beginning in the

third century B.C., the Roman economy became more

regimented and taxes were raised. This eviscerated and

disenfranchised the middle class, just as has unfolded

in America, where middle class neighborhoods are

disappearing and income is polarized between a strug-gling downtrodden mass of people and a tiny rich elite.

When the economic collapse arrives, it could be

more brutal than anything America has experienced

in its history as a nation.

Consider the fact that during the ten years of the

1929 Great Depression, some 8 million Americans

starved to death. And this at a time when 90 per cent

of the population lived in rural areas and were at least

somewhat self-sufficient. That number is now 50 per

cent and many people who live outside major cities are

not self-sufficient in any way.

Aside from economic factors, cultural and societal

parallels can also be drawn between Rome and 21st

century America.

Romes increasing use of illegal immigrants to do

agricultural work its host population refused to under-

take mirrors America in 2012. As Peter Heather writesin The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome

and Barbarians, The Roman government allowed

uncontrolled hostile immigration to dissolve the fabric

of their civilization. Illegal and legal Immigrants grew

more powerful while exercising their own character of

their cultures. They did not adopt Roman ways. Second,

vast blocks of once Roman lands became foreign held

and even the Roman population, once outnumbered,

was no match for hosti le immigrants.

Factors that destroyed Rome now manifest inaccelerating numbers in America. Los Angeles,

Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, New York City, San

Francisco, Raleigh and all large cities suffer millions of

illegal immigrants. Uncounted millions of them cannot

and do not speak English. Mil lions work under the table

without paying taxes. Millions use our hospitals with-

out paying. They immigrate but do not assimilate. They

colonize in ethnic enclaves separated from Americans.

They fracture our country, writes Frosty Wooldridge.

Just as Roman rulers created bread and circuses todistract their population from the fact that the coun-

try was collapsing, Americans are also enraptured by

entertainment and sports, which in turn encourages

them to lead superficial, meaningless lives.

As Roman poet Juvenal (circa 100 A.D.) wrote,

written by alexander jones and paul joseph watson

sexual promiscuity and infidelity is lauded. As Dr. Carle

Zimmermans 1947 book Family and Civilization docu-

mented, America shares the pattern of its moral decline

with Rome. Zimmerman identified a number of behav-

ior traits that signaled the decline of a civilization.

These included the breakdown of marriage and rise of

divorce, acceleration of juvenile delinquency, promis-

cuity and rebellion, refusal of people with traditionalmarriages to accept their family responsibilities, a

growing desire for and acceptance of adultery and

increasing interest in and spread of sexual perversions

and sex-related crimes.

All of these traits have come to shape American soci-

ety in the 21st century.

It does not take a crystal ball to see where all this is

heading, and the planned economic implosion is going

to be the trigger. Europe has already been rocked by

riots over the past two years and federal authorities arealready preparing for similar scenes in America only on

a far bigger scale.

As Ron Paul has warned, the coming engineered finan-

cial breakdown is leading directly to domestic unrest

which will inevitably lead to a state of martial law.

Riots prompted by food shortages, inflation, inequal-

ity and political corruption are inevitable should the

ruling class continue to deliberately implode the econ-

omy as is the brutal police state response that will

come as a result.

Just as Rome burned when it was sacked in 455AD,

the historical point which marked the formal end of the

Roman Empire, America faces the same fate.

The only way to prevent or try to lessen the kind of

collapse that could make the dissolution of Rome look

like a cakewalk is to use the tools that ordinary Romans

never had the power of the modern alternat ive media.

Only by relentlessly emphasizing that the collapse

is being deliberately engineered by those who seek to

exploit it for their own gain can we hope to deflate the

myth that the ruling class are our only saviors in thecoming time of peril.

Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no

man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the

People who once upon a time handed out military

command, high civil office, legionseverything, now

restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things:

bread and circuses.

This loss of interest in civic duty and its replacement

with an obsession for entertainment and folly is rou-tinely cited by scholars as one of the primary reasons

behind the collapse of Rome.

As Kyle Trottier writes, In many modern books

writ ten about Ancient Rome and her people, the

ancient Romans are often portrayed as people who

enjoyed violence and thought it amusing to see peo-

ple being injured and killed to the point of obsession.

It is now common knowledge that, in Ancient Rome,

people often attended (and enjoyed) gladiatorial

fights to the death, wild beast hunts, naval bat tles andchariot racing. Some public thinkers today have sug-

gested that entertainment today, as it was in ancient

times of Rome, reflects the decline of culture, into a

plethora of lust, greed, violence, selfish indiv idualism

and bad behavior. Some Scholars suggest that history

is repeating itself and we are now in a reoccurring

cycle of moral decay and social breakdown. From the

excessive amount of glorified violence in Hollywood

movies, video games, music and on the Internet, one

can easily see the downward spiral of decency.

The moral decay of the Roman culture is also being

aped almost precisely in America. While fertility and

birth rates of the host population continue to plummet,

the morning of February 15, an explo-

The United States occupied Cuba from

1898 until 1902, although an amendment

Prior to the sinking, the German

Nero and the Great Fire of RomeLegend claims Nero had one-third of thecity torched as an excuse to build Domus

Aurea, a 300 acre palatial complex that

included a towering statue of himself, the

Prior to the fire, the Roman Senate had

rejected the emperors bid to level a third

an urban renewal project.

The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that

when the population of Rome held Neroresponsible for the fire, he shifted blame

on the Christians for hating the human

The Spanish American War:Remember the Maine

By the late 1800s, the United States

was look ing for an excuse to kick Spain

out of Cuba. U.S. business was heavily

invested in sugar, tobacco and iron onthe Caribbean island.

The U.S.S. Maine was sent to Havana

in January of 1898 to protect these busi-

Hitler's Fascist Dictatorship:The Reichstag Fire

In February of 1933, a month after con-

Hitler then urged president Hindenburg

to issue an emergency decree restricting

personal liberty, including the right to

free expression and a free press, lim-

itations on the rights of association andassembly, warrantless searches of homes,

property confiscation, and violations of

postal, telegraphic and telephonic com-

munications permissible beyond the

legal limits otherwise prescribed.

The Nazis used the decree and cracked

down on their political opponents .

They worked behind the scenes to force

through the Enabling Act, which legally

allowed Hitler to obtain plenary powersand establish a dictatorship.

Gring would admit that the people can

Prelude to World War:The Gleiwitz Incident

Six years after the Reichstag Fire,

the Nazis staged the Gleiwitz incident.

Nazi commandos raided a German

radio station in Gleiwitz, Upper

Silesia, Germany. The raid was part of

Operation Himmler, a series of oper-

ations undertaken by the SS as Hitler

set the stage for the invasion of Polandand the start of the Second World War.

SS operatives dressed in Polish uni-

forms attacked the radio station, broad-

cast an anti-German message in Polish,

and left behind the body of a German

Silesian known for sympathizing with

the Poles. The corpse was then offered to

fact, North Vietnam had not attacked the

and the "unequivocal proof" of an

"unprovoked" second attack against the

U.S. warship was a ruse.

Operation Gladio: State

Sponsored Terror Blamed on theLeftFollowing the Second World War,

the CIA and Britain's MI6 collaborated

through NATO on Operation Gladio, an

effort to create a stay behind army to

fight communism in the event of a Soviet

invasion of Western Europe.

Gladio quickly transcended its orig-

inal mission and became a covert ter-

ror network consisting of right-wingmilitias, organized crime elements,

agents provocateurs and secret mili-

tary units. The so-called stay behind

armies were active in France, Belgium,

Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway,

Germany, and Switzerland.

Gladio's Strategy of Tension was

designed to portray leftist political groups

in Europe as terrorists and frighten the

populace into voting for authoritarian

governments. In order to carry out this

goal, Gladio operatives conducted a num-

ber of deadly terrorists attacks that were

blamed on leftists and Marxists.

In August of 1980, Gladio operatives

bombed a train station in Bologna,

killing 85 people. Initially blamed on

the Red Brigades, it was later discov-

ered that fascist elements within the

Italian secret police and Licio Gelli, the

head of the P2 Masonic Lodge, wereresponsible for the terror attack. Other

fascist groups, including Avanguardia

Nazionale and Ordine Nuovo, were

mobilized and engaged in terror.

Operation Gladio ultimately claimed the

lives of hundreds of people across Europe.

According to Vincenzo Vinciguerra,

a Gladio terrorist serving a life-sen-

tence for murdering policemen, the

reason for Gladio was simple. It wasdesigned to force these people, the

Italian public, to turn to the state to

ask for greater security. This is the

political logic that lies behind all the

massacres and the bombings which

remain unpunished, because the state

cannot convict itself or declare itself

responsible for what happened.

that pretended to be Egyptian terrorists.

The plan, however, contained a fatal

flaw. Israel's top secret cell, Unit 131,

was infiltrated by Egyptian intelligence.

After a member of the cell was arrested

and interrogated, he revealed the plot

and this led to more arrests. Israeli agents

were subjected to a public trial revealingdetails of the plan to firebomb the U.S.

Information Agency's libraries, a British-

owned Metro-Goldwyn Mayer theatre, a

railway terminal, the central post office,

and other targets.

In order to deflect blame, the Israeli

government tried to frame its own

Defense Minister, Pinhas Lavon, but the

true nature of the plot was eventually

made public.

Operation Northwoods:Targeting American CitizensIn the covert war against the communist

regime in Cuba under the CIA's Operation

Mongoose, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff

unanimously proposed state-sponsored

acts of terrorism in side the United States.

The plan included shooting down

hijacked American airplanes, the sink-

ing of U.S. ships, and the shooting of

Americans on the streets of Washington,

D.C. The outrageous plan even included

a staged NASA disaster that would claim

the life of astronaut John Glenn.

Reeling under the embarrassing failure

of the CIA's botched Bay of Pigs invasion

of Cuba, president Kennedy rejected the

plan in March of 1962. A few months later,

Kennedy denied the plan's author, General

Lyman Lemnitzer, a second term as thenation's highest ranking military officer.

In November of 1963, Kennedy was

assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

Gulf of Tonkin:Phantom Attack on the U.S.

MilitaryOn August 4, 1964, President Lyndon

Johnson went on national television and

told the nation that North Vietnam hadattacked U.S. ships.

"Repeated acts of violence against the

armed forces of the United States must be

met not only with alert defense, but with

a positive reply. That reply is being given

as I speak tonight, Johnson declared.

Congress soon passed the Gulf of Tonkin

Resolution, which provided Johnson with

pre-approved authority to conduct mil-

itary operations against North Vietnam.By 1969, over 500,000 troops were fight-

ing in Southeast Asia.

Johnson and his Secretary of Defense,

Robert McNamara, had bamboozled

Congress and the American people. In

to the National Post article Coloradoshooting suspect James Holmes was

seeing university psychiatrist.

Psychiatrists and psychologists have

been involved in developing torture

techniques for the CIA, so to believe in

their professionalism and morality

is blind foolishness. We live in an age

of moral bankruptcy and mass mind

control. Professional psychologists

help the government in many ways,

from lending their expertise to improve

the mental conditioning of the public

to performing outlandish research on

government subjects, mostly from the

military and universities.

The U.S. shadow governments love

affair with patsies has really gotten out

of hand. Oswald was only a prototype.

Washington has created an extraordi-

nary league of shadow patsies. Holmes

could be the next-generation model ofmind control assassins; the T-1000 of

government patsies.

Paul Joseph Watson describes the sim-

ilarities between Holmes and another

manufactured patsy in his article,

James Holmes Is Behaving Like Sirhan

Sirhan, writing:

The parallels between alleged Colorado

shooter James Holmes and Sirhan Sirhan

are staggering. Both appear to have beendrugged, both cannot remember the

shootings they were accused of carrying

out, and in both cases other shooters

were reported by eyewitnesses.

It is super convenient that individuals

who are connected to some of the big-

gest crimes in U.S. history are mentally

incapacitated at the moment the crime

is committed and never seem to remem-

ber pulling the trigger in the days andweeks after the event.

Moreover, the political ramifications of

the Dark Knight massacre are begin-

ning to be felt as establishment media

pundits, Supreme Court judges, and the

Near the end of 1999, a Memphiscourt held the trial of the

century that resolved the lin-

gering questions surrounding

the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther

King Jr. Attorney and author William F.

Pepper represented the King family.

After the 30-day trial was over, the

jury concluded that Martin Luther King

Jr.s death was caused by a government

conspiracy, not a lone gunman. The gov-

ernments version of Kings murder was

proven to be fake. A citizen jury legally

put to death the myth of the lone gun-

man that has overshadowed Americas

recent political history.

Fast forward to the year 2012. The

lone gunmen of the world are being

manufactured by the mind control

technicians in the U.S. deep state

like microchips. The secret manu-

facture-a-patsy government industryhas become so advanced and sophisti-

cated that it has enabled the hijacked

U.S. government to get away with the

most atrocious of crimes against the

Amer ican people and humanity.

Whenever a state crime is committed

by the deep state a patsy mysteriously

rises to the surface from the shadows.

There is disturbing evidence that sug-

gests the Dark Knight shooter JamesHolmes is a shadow patsy who was

involved in a secret government mind

control program. He was catapulted onto

the scene of the crime in the Colorado

movie theater after professional gov-

ernment killers finished off massacring

movie goers in the dark of night.

One of the most startling pieces of

evidence is that Holmes was under

the stewardship of an ex-governmentpsychiatrist named Dr. Lynne Fenton,

who is currently the medical direc-

tor for student mental health services

at the University of Colorado-Denver

Anschutz Medica l Campus, according

tion of self-defense.

Kurt Nimmo examines the bipartisan

war on American gun ownership in his

article, Establishment Media Circles the

Wagons on Gun Control. He writes:

The highly suspicious mass shoot-

ing in Colorado arrived at exactly the

right time for the globalists and their

corporate media scriveners. Outlawing

semi-automatic weapons with brand

spanking new assault weapons legisla-

tion will now take center stage and will

be used as a stepping stone for more dra-

conian legislation down the road.

The dangerous path to all-out gun con-

fiscation begins with government brain-

washing and media propaganda that

gain steam after ritualistic events like

the Dark Knight shooting. The fascist

tyrants begin with baby steps, as always,but their sight remains on their larger

goal: instituting a global totalitarian

regime run by criminal private interna-

tional banks and corporations.

For this dangerous and tyrannical goal

to be realized the American people must

first be disarmed.

Bank Cartel Conquers AmericaBanksters Declare We're All Slaves in Their Plot to Destroy the US Economywritten by Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson

In a recent CNBC clip, financial analysts admitted to viewers that America is

under the control of a group of central bankers who are building a world govern-

ment. The clip is a damning insight into how the establishment has dispensed

without any pretense of t ry ing to hide their agenda as i t is finalized.

During the video, the host asks guests, Do we all work for central

bankers is this global governance at last is it one world the

central bankers in charge.arent we all just living and dying for

what the centra l banks do?

To answer your question, we are absolutely slaves to central

banks, responds the guest.

We beholden to what central bankers and policy makers do rather

than the fundamentals in the economy, adds another.

This is just one of a deluge of examples where it is now being thrown

in our faces that a banking el ite is building a world government at the

expense of the American people.

From treating the issue as a conspiracy theory for decades, the estab-

lishment is now tearing away the veil in an effort to force Americans to

blithely accept what has been planned all along.

A global government is now being forcefu lly pushed as the solution

to all manner of problems, but specifically in relation to financial crises.

We are being brainwashed to accept the premise that centralized power in

the hands of a tiny elite is the only recourse, and that a one world

currency is inevitable.

At the height of the last economic crisis, Bilderberg member

and Financial Times columnist Gideon Rachman argued that

everything i s in place for a dictatorial world government to be

imposed by a technocratic elite.Rachmans 2008 call for authoritarian technocrats to be put in

charge of the global economy in preparation for the official

birth of global government is now well on its way to com-

pletion, with the economies of France, Ireland, Germany,

Belgium, Italy, Greece, along with the IMF and the

European Central Bank (ECB), all under

Goldman Sachs banker

occupation.

These technocrats have not been bashful in openly announcing what they are doing.

Upon his selection to become EU president in 2009, Herman Van Rompuy

announced that the financial crisis and efforts to combat global warming were

designed to precede the global management of our planet. He also declared 2009

to be the first year of global governance.

In the same year, Van Rompuy was joined by the Pope who also ca lled for a world

political authority to manage the global economy.

World Bank President and Bilderberg elitist Robert Zoellick also openly

admitted the plan to elim- inate national sovereignty and

impose a global government during

a speech on the eve of the G20

summit.

Calls for a one world cur-

rency to be a key compo-

nent of global governance

have been consistent.

In a 2000 speech, a member

of the executive board of the

European Central Bank, Sirkka Hmlinen

stated, In conclusion, I should like to come back

to Paul Volckers prophecy. He might be right, and

we might one day have a single world currency.

Maybe European integration, in the same way as

any other regional integration, could be seen as a

step towards the ideal situation of a fully integrated

world.

In a 2010 speech to the Council of Foreign Relations, for-mer president of the ECB Jean-Claude Trichet made it clear

that the Global Economy Meeting (GEM), which meets at the

BIS (Bank of International Set tlements) headquarters in Basel

would become the prime group for global governance among

central banks.

Trichet added that the BIS meetings were ensuring that the system

is moving decisively towards genuine g lobal governance.

Trichet went on to define how global governance would

operate.

There are numerous definitions of global gover-nance. In the economic and financia l sphere

I will propose that global governance

comprehends not only the con-

stellation of supranational

inst itutions including the

while using global redistribution of wealth and increased immigration to
