February 6, 2014 -- (TRN) -- Edward Snowden, the former contractor at the National Security Agency took with him multiple "Doomsday" packages of information when he departed the country and began revealing how intensely the US Government is spying on its own citizens. He has the personal home info for all Elected Officials, Law Enforcement, Judges, Bankers, Corporate Boards of Directors and more!


At a classified briefing for members of Congress which took place on Wednesday, members found out that Snowden took with him:
  • a complete roster of absolutely every employee and official of the entire US Government.
  • The names, home addresses, unlisted personal home telephone and personal cellular phone numbers, dates of birth and social security numbers of every person involved in any way, with any department of the US Government.
  • The files include elected officials, Cabinet appointees, Judges, and  **ALL** law enforcement agency employees including sworn officers.
  • Similar files with the personal information of EVERY government contractor and all employees of that contractor!
  • Similar files with all the personal information of EVERY Bank Corporation, their operating officers and their Boards of Directors, including all current and former members of the Federal Reserve
  • Similar files with all the personal information about anyone holding any type of license from the Government such as Doctors, Lawyers, Stock Brokers, Commodities Traders . . . . and many more.
  • Similar files with all the personal information of EVERY non-bank Corporation in the U.S., including their operating officers and Boards of Directors.

Snowden has made it clear that if he is arrested, if he vanishes, or if he "dies" from any cause whatsoever, ALL of the information in his possession will be published publicly.

TRN has confirmed that, working through Julian Assange  and his "WikiLeaks" organization, copies of the encrypted data have already been distributed to more than one-thousand, two hundred (1200) web sites around the world.  Those sites have agreed to conceal the information until such time as contact with Snowden is "lost."  Once contact is lost, the sites have been told they will receive the Decryption keys via CD ROM, E-mail and P2P / Bit-Torrent file transfer.  Once the decryption keys are sent, the sites have been instructed to wait a specific amount of time to confirm Snowden's disappearance, arrest or death and upon expiration of that time period, to publish the decrypted materials.

Making the situation all the more dire for the government is that Snowden has made clear he will release some of the information under certain "other" circumstances.  For instance, if Martial Law is declared in the US or if any elections are canceled for any reason, all the government employee info goes out.  If an economic collapse takes place, all the Banker/Stock Broker/Commodities Trader information goes out.  If Corporations start hyper-inflating prices, all the information about them, their officers and Board of Directors will go out.

Snowden literally has the most powerful people in the United States in an inescapable stranglehold.  If any of the things articulated above take place, everyone throughout the country will know exactly who to blame and exactly where they live.   One can only speculate that under the right conditions, it might not be long until those responsible for the problems of our country, faced consequences for their actions; consequences delivered one at a time, in the dark of night, when there is no help . . . . and no escape.

Leading members of the House Armed Services Committee emerged from the classified briefing “shocked” at the amount of information he reportedly took with him beyond the NSA surveillance programs.

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), chairman of the Armed Service panel’s Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the briefing on the defense consequences of Snowden’s leaks was “very highly classified,” and therefore details couldn’t be discussed.

Thornberry did say that lawmakers “left the briefing disturbed and angered” after hearing that the leaks by the former Booz Allen Hamilton employee “went well beyond programs associated with the NSA and data collection.”

He characterized the leaks as so severe that they “compromise military capability and defense of the country” and “could cost lives” — while they “will certainly cost billions to repair.”

“His actions were espionage, plain and simple,” Thornberry said.

Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) read his statement rather than making comments on the fly “because of the seriousness of this issue and the sensitivity” of the information they’d just heard.

“Ed Snowden isn’t a whistleblower; he’s a traitor,” McKeon said.

No matter what opinion people hold of the data collection programs, he added, people should be “shocked and outraged to find that a substantial amount of the information has nothing to do with the NSA.”

The evidence is clear: Fukushima radiation is still tearing up West Coas...

NaturalNews) As cleanup crews gear themselves up to begin the treacherous task of removing 400 tons of spent fuel from the Fukushima Daiichi Reactor No. 4 in the coming weeks, reports continue to flood in showing that radiation from the stricken plant is still causing major environmental damage all over the world.

Particularly on the West Coast of the U.S., a multitude of strange animal deaths, high radiation readings and other recent anomalies suggest that the Fukushima disaster is far from over. It is simply ludicrous, in other words, for anyone to suggest at this point that these Fukushima woes are dwindling, as fresh evidence suggests that quite the opposite is true.

A recent report by Michael Snyder over at TheTruthWins.com highlights 28 signs that the U.S. West Coast is still being torn up by nuclear radiation from Fukushima. Many of these signs include strange illnesses and mass deaths among sea creatures and other animals, as well as high radiation readings from dozens of monitoring stations.

"Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean," writes Snyder about this one major sign. "That means that the total amount of radioactive material released from Fukushima is constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in our food chain."

Radioactive debris mass the size of California still impacting West Coast

Another obvious sign is the recent mass migration of radioactive debris the size of California across the Pacific Ocean. BBC News in the U.K. reported last year that literally millions of tons of radioactive debris had begun traveling across the Pacific Ocean, and that some of it had already impacted Hawaii and even the West Coast.

There has also been a series of strange animal deaths recently, including masses of sea lions, sockeye salmon and other sea creatures washing up on the shore. Many of the polar bears, seals and walruses observed along the Alaska coastline have also been found to have major fur loss and open sores, both of which are indicative of radiation poisoning.

Then we have the scientific reports that claim radioactive water will continue to impact the U.S. West Coast for many years to come, potentially doubling in strength over the next five or six years. Plankton, bluefin tuna and other sea life collected between Hawaii and California are already testing high for radiation, and these levels are expected to continue increasing.

"Look at what's going on now: They're dumping huge amounts of radioactivity into the ocean -- no one expected that in 2011," stated Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the University of California-Santa Cruz recently to Global Security Newswire. "We could have large numbers of cancer from ingestion of fish."

Initial Fukushima radiation release more than 100 times larger than Chernobyl, confirms study


There will most certainly be a major uptick in cancer rates due to the Fukushima incident, as the Japan Meteorological Agency's Meteorological Research Institute estimates that some 60 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and strontium are being dumped into the Pacific Ocean every single day. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) also admits that as much as 40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium have been released into the Pacific since the disaster began.

Those who still say that the Chernobyl disaster was worse than Fukushima may also want to consider that a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution study conducted in October 2011 concluded that Fukushima had already released up to 100 times more radiation into the environment than Chernobyl at that time. Today, this amount is likely astronomically higher, especially when you take into account all the airborne radioactive plumes that have been detected billowing across the ocean and over U.S. soil.

Eric Holder to step down this year: report

[Gdsgrl21] U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will step down this year...2/11/14   




Eric Holder to step down this year: report

Monday, February 10, 2014
The Washington Times
.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will step down this year, he said in an interview with the New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin in the magazine’s Feb. 17 edition.
In a feature article, Mr. Holder said he plans on staying in his position “well into” the year.
Last November, Mr. Holder, the first black attorney general, told CBS News he didn’t have “any plans” to step down.
Mr. Holder has made voting rights the test case of his tenure, the New Yorker reported. He has been a vocal critic of the Supreme Court case that invalidated key parts of the Voting Rights Act and has supported Congressional action to renew and revise the law.
During his five years as the nation’s top law enforcement officer, Mr. Holder has also weighed in on other controversial Supreme Court decisions. Mr. Holder said he wouldn’t defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court and over the weekend announced the Department of Justice’s plans to give same-sex couples the same rights in the federal legal system as married heterosexual couples, regardless of whether a state recognizes same sex marriage.

UFO Buffs Might Want To Take A Closer Look At Howard Hughes And His Modern Under The Radar Legacy, Hughes AC Corp

The Rumor Mill News Reading Room 

UFO Buffs Might Want To Take A Closer Look At Howard Hughes And His Modern Under The Radar Legacy, Hughes AC Corp
Posted By: Watchman
Date: Tuesday, 11-Feb-2014 09:27:10

There can be absolutely no doubt that one of the most enigmatic, mysterious and powerful figures of the 20th century was Howard Hughes. Born on Christmas Eve in 1905, in Humble, Texas, Hughes displayed a brilliant flair for aviation and new and novel aircraft designs – to the extent that in 1932 he created the Hughes Aircraft Company, which was noted for its work in the fields of aircraft, missiles, and NASA’s space-probes.
Despite his brilliance, Hughes was plagued by psychological conditions that blighted his life, including obsessive-compulsive disorder – something which played a major role in his descent into a definitive “reclusive eccentric” state. And then there were Hughes’ ties to the secret world of U.S. Intelligence and…the UFO phenomenon.
In 1977, an astonishing book, The Hughes Papers by Elaine Davenport, Paul Eddy and Mark Huwitz, was published, and disclosed a wealth of hitherto unknown material pertaining to Hughes, including his deep associations with none other than the CIA.
Moving on, there are a number of intriguing issues that link Hughes to the UFO subject. The earliest – and certainly the strangest – story suggesting a Hughes-Flying Saucer connection can be found in the FBI’s n0w-declassified files on UFOs, all of which are online at the Bureau’s website, The Vault. Contained within the approximately 1,700 pages of documentation is a very curious letter that was sent to the FBI’s Chicago office by a source unknown.
The letter is dated July 31, 1950 and reads as follows:
“Since we are on the brink of a third world conflict, the world is more air conscious than ever. Aviation in some phases is yet in its pioneering days. Much talk goes on about the flying saucers or discs. The saucer we speak about is not a military secret, and is not yet owned by the government. The flying saucer which was seen over south Chicago last April is a large fuel tank with crystal glass wings.”
The writer continued: “It has two large jet engines on both sides. It is radio controlled. It resembles a saucer very much when in flight. The wings cannot be seen on a clear day. This is so it is a most difficult target for anti aircraft gunners. The reason for the large flat gas or fuel tank is to give the ship a long range for atomic bombing.”
The letter then reveals something very illuminating (if true, of course): “The ship was financed by Howard Hughes, millionaire aviation enthusiast. It is now being tested by the Glen F. Martin Aircraft Co., makers of the Martin Marauder. The craft is only made for one way trips. It has a range of 4,000 miles, ceiling of 25,000 feet, and a speed of 750 miles per hour.”
howard-hughes-#####-pit
The Bureau’s informant also noted: “So far only a few of these craft have been made, and they usually are pitched in the lake or ocean as they cannot be landed. They are merely to carry a bomb of high destruction to enemy country. They have no wheels, but small steel rails on the bottom from which they take off. All other mechanics can be explained in detail.”
And, in closing, the FBI’s source explained that: “The man who welded the ship says it is by far the best long range bombing instrument he has ever seen. The name of the ship is the ‘Danse Macabre.’”
Then there is the notable saga of Howard Hughes’ associations and friendship with one of the most well known of all the “Contactees” of the 1950s: George Van Tassel. Prior to becoming a major player in Ufology, Van Tassel spent time in the 1940s working for Hughes Aircraft. He did far more than that, however. While employed by Hughes Aircraft, Van Tassel acted in an assistance capacity to none other than Howard Hughes himself.
As a demonstration of the fact that Hughes and Van Tassel were good friends, on many occasions Hughes flew into the Giant Rock, California area, where Van Tassel held his near-legendary UFO conventions from the 1950s to the 1970s. The reason: to specifically to hang out with Van Tassel and his wife, Eva, and to indulge in the tasty pies that Mrs. Van Tassel made and which Hughes apparently loved!
Moving onto 1964, it’s time to look at a potential connection between Howard Hughes and the famous “UFO landing” at Socorro, New Mexico in April 1964. Rich Reynolds, a long-time, well-respected researcher of the UFO phenomenon, has suggested the possibility that the strange craft seen by police officer Lonnie Zamora on that fateful day in Socorro was not an alien spacecraft, after all.
howard-hughes-#####-pit2
In an article titled Howard Hughes: Socorro (and Roswell?), Reynolds says: “UFO buffs and investigators have overlooked the Hughes connection to U.S. military testings of prototypical space vehicles, one of which we contend is what Lonnie Zamora saw in Socorro in April 1964.” As Reynolds also notes, both Hughes’ Tool Company and Hughes Aircraft “were employed by the U.S. military to devise various space craft and satellite equipment, including lunar landing modules in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s.”
Howard Hughes died on April 5, 1976, while being flown to Houston, Texas, for emergency medical treatment. He was a shell of his former, handsome self. The man who dated numerous Hollywood actresses, including Olivia de Havilland and Ava Gardner, was down to less than 100 pounds in weight at the time of his death. His hair was long and straggly, and his arms were riddled with needle marks. Hardly the best way to make an exit.
Was Howard Hughes really plugged deep into the world of the UFO? Right now, we have a few strands, a couple of thought-provoking leads, a few pieces of documentation, and that’s it. But, where there’s smoke, there is very often fire, too. Methinks someone out there should take a closer look at Mr. Hughes and his UFO associations. The strangest of all aspects of the man’s life may still be waiting to be uncovered…

Benjamin Fulford’s The countdown begins, Secretary of Skull and Bones Kerry goes on begging mission


Mon, February 10, 2014

http://benjaminfulford.net/

Posted by benjamin
February 11, 2014
The families that own the Federal Reserve Board missed making gold payments due on January 31st so they now have to scramble to find gold before February 27th or face the bankruptcy of their United States of America Corporation. That is why Secretary of Skull and Bones John Kerry is off this week to beg for gold from the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, South Korea and China. The cover story about the US Congress having to raise the debt ceiling in order to avoid government bankruptcy is only fooling a steadily shrinking group of the brainwashed living dead.
When they missed their payment last September 31st the cabalist were able to postpone bankruptcy by making a deal with Iran, selling weapons to China and a few other tricks. Let us see if they manage to kick the can down the road once again perhaps by offering the Okinawan archipelago to China or some such thing.
Otherwise President Obama can prove he is the real deal and start issuing US government currency instead of borrowing foreign Federal Reserve Board debt notes misnamed the US dollar.
Then again something entirely different might happen. According to the P2 Freemason lodge, Pope Francis and Obama signed an agreement
recently that was related to the formation of a world government. Obama was forced to sign the agreement because of the change in management of the Vatican Bank where bribe accounts for many world “leaders” are held. The recent meeting between the Pope and Vladimir Putin as well as meetings between the Pope and Obama in March and between the Pope and Queen Elizabeth in April are all connected to this, the source says. What is still not in the works, however, is a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Pope.
This reflects a fundamental rift between two factions still battling over the right to decide the world’s future course. That is what is at stake in the ongoing financial war because the right to issue Dollars, Euros, Yen etc. is basically the same as the right to decide what humanity does in the future.
The Chinese and their allies are saying that the West has ruled for long enough and now it is Asia’s turn to take charge. However, the Western faction says that China is too Sino-centric and is ignoring the rights of the rest of the world.
In the end some sort of compromise is going to be reached because the alternative is World War III.
It is also worth noting, as many people have, that many US and other banks are scheduling some sort of “drill” on the weekend of February 15th and 16th. This could for the introduction of a new currency in the US but then again it could be one of those many dates that come and go without the predicted “happening.” However, just as a precaution, it might be a good idea to keep some cash on hand.
There are many other signs that it is not business as usual in the financial world. For example, a German court ruled last week the European Central Bank bond buying was “probably illegal.” This bond buying is what temporarily calmed the Euro crisis. The ruling reflects the fact that Germans are tired of bailing out lazy, corrupt Mediterranean countries.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/10625484/German-court-parks-tank-on-ECB-lawn-kills-OMT-bond-rescue.html
Then in England, investigators are saying that not only were world interest rates rigged in the Libor scandal but that the Bank of England was directly involved in manipulating foreign exchange markets.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-07/boe-staff-said-to-have-condoned-currency-traders-conduct.html
A critical mass of people already know the financial system itself is a fraud and it is only a matter of time before the right to issue currency is taken away from the cabal and returned to the people.
In yet another sign time was running out for the cabal, in Bosnia last week massive demonstrations were demanding just that.

In the meantime, like lost Japanese soldiers fighting in the jungle years after World War II ended, cabal agents are continuing their puerile antics in many parts of the world.
In Japan, cabal stooge Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his fellow cabal slaves are continuing to follow orders by trying to manufacture a crisis with China. The most recent such maneuver involves having executives of the State Broadcasting agency regurgitate cabal manufactured provocations like the comfort woman story, denial of the Nanjing massacre etc.
The election of Yoichi Masuzoe as mayor of Tokyo, however, was not what the cabal had hoped for.
Although Masuzoe is supported by Abe, he is also promising to restart nuclear reactors in a move that will reduce Japanese payments for cabal controlled oil-powered electricity generation.

Abe also vanished for a few days after the Davos World Forum and appears to have had some sort of “re-education,” somewhere. Unlike other cabal leaders in the West, he is visiting the Sochi Olympics and his government is actively courting good relations with Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
The negative coverage of the Sochi Olympics in the cabal controlled Western press is a good example of the sort of petty, low level antics cabal psychological warfare agents get up to. Instead of enjoying winter sports in an apolitical manner, they manufacture gay rights crises or insult the facilities in a manner that reflects badly on the cabal more than it does on Russia.
Unfortunately, the cabal does not limit itself to disinformation but also continues to murder and threaten terror too.
On that front too, the cabal is not doing well. A planned nuclear terror attack against Sochi has been stopped, according to the gnostic illuminati. Also, at least 10 would be suicide bombers have been detained. Hopefully now the Olympics will be depoliticized.
In Afghanistan too, the Taliban have run out of money and cabal heroin production operations there are being shut down.
http://tribune.com.pk/story/124949/money-matters-taliban-strapped-for-cash-as-funding-routes-blocked/
What this means is that in addition to cocaine and amphetamines operations being shut down, cabal heroin income is also being cut off. Combined with increasing legalization of marijuana, this means a lot less money is available to pay for thugs and mercenaries.
Given all this bad news for the cabal, it is not surprising that top Davos officials contacted the White Dragon Society last week and said “perhaps it is time to push the reset button for the planet earth.” That is exactly what the WDS has been saying.
So, we can start with a one-off world-wide cancellation of all debt, public and private and a redistribution of illegally obtained wealth. After that, we can carry out a massive campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction. Once that is done (and it could be done within months given the right amount of collective will-power), finally, we can start a Golden age for humanity. What are we waiting for?
We have now started a weekly subscription newsletter. We will experiment at first with the following pricing policy: All subscribers will agree to pay whatever monthly subscription price they can afford. Those who are really poor can get it for free. If the service earns enough money we will use it to hire reporters and upgrade the quality of both the free and subscription news we provide.
  • Monday every week(except below : The fifth week, Year end and new year)
  • Our Price : $8.00(Rate for U.S.)/ 30days Subscription
  • Format: text
In order to finance an upgrade of free material and possibly (depending on revenue) hire reporters, we will be issuing a subscription only weekly report. The report will provide a minimum 2,000 word weekly intelligence update every Monday.
We go by the motto,“if it appears in writing,somebody has beaten us to the story.”Our reports will be based on information from a broad range of sources including: the yakuza, MI6, Freemasons, the CIA, KGB,Mossad, the triads, the Chinese government, Japanese military intelligence etc.
The reports will provide updates and summaries from an Asian perspective of the latest events in the ongoing secret war for the planet earth. We will also provide our own analysis and opinion.

FACTS DON'T LIE

Subject: Fwd: Hard to avoid the obvious conclusions (but no doubt there will be some who try)




FACTS DON'T LIE
These are the facts...Draw your own conclusions!
A lot of Americans and Canadians have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that the USA   can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

Pause a moment, reflect  back. These events are actual events from history.
They really happened.  Do You Remember?

1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed...By a Muslim male.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred...By Muslim  males.

3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to an Arab country where a fuse was lit on final approach and it was blown up shortly after landing...By Muslim  males.

4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome , with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades...By Muslim  males.

5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over...By Muslim  males.

6. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon ...By Muslim  males.
 
7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up...By Muslim  males.

8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair...By Muslim  males.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was  hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered...By Muslim males.

10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed...By Muslim males.

11.. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time...By Muslim males.

12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed...By Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon,
and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed...By Muslim  males.

14. In 2002, the United States and Canada and others fought a war in Afghanistan ...Against Muslim males.

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by---You guessed it---Muslim  males.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? These 15 incidents are merely coincidence. So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the US President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe  Foss, but...............

Leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of  Reason?

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Alreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves--if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it, 'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'.

Each opportunity that you have to  send it to a friend or media outlet........do  it!
 
Just the facts......
Better add>>> (and continue to add....)

16. In 2012 ... US Consulate in Benghazi .....Muslim males.

17. In 2013 ... Boston marathon bombers....Muslim males.

German court parks tank on ECB lawn, kills OMT bond rescue

German court parks tank on ECB lawn, kills OMT bond rescue

Doubtful whether ECB’s back-stop scheme for bonds can be implemented if Europe’s debt crisis blows up again

German court warns there are 'important reasons to assume' ECB bond-buying is illegal
It is the first time in the history of the German constitutional court that the judges have referred a question of law to the European Court of Justice 
7:48PM GMT 07 Feb 2014
Germany’s top court has issued a blistering attack on the European Central Bank, arguing that its rescue plan for the euro violates EU treaty law and exceeds the bank’s policy mandate.
The tough language leaves it doubtful whether the ECB’s back-stop scheme for Spanish and Italian bonds can be implemented if Europe’s debt crisis blows up again, and greatly complicates any future recourse to quantitative easing if needed to head off Japanese-style deflation.
The German constitutional court refrained from issuing a final ruling on the legality of the plan, known as Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT). It referred the case to the European Court instead, but only after having pre-judged the issue in lacerating terms that effectively bind German institutions. “The Court considers the OMT decision incompatible with primary law,” it said.
“This is a massive attack on Europe’s rescue strategy. I do not know whether the markets have understood this yet,” said Clemens Fuest, head of Germany’s ZEW Institute.
Marcel Fratzscher, from Germany’s Institute for Economic Research (DIW), said the judgment kills the OMT for the time being. “I don’t think the ECB can activate the programme as long as the case remains open at the European Court,” he said.

“The German Court has parked a tank on the lawn of the ECB,” said one expert closely involved with the case. “The bank’s nuclear weapon is no longer operational, but you could say they bought 18 months of eurozone calm, so the OMT served its purpose.”
The court judgment was shockingly harsh, though it left a possible way out if the OMT is redesigned and greatly limited in scope. “There are important reasons to assume it exceeds the ECB’s monetary policy mandate and thus infringes the powers of the Member States, and that it violates the prohibition of monetary financing of the budget,” said the court.
The eight judges said they were “inclined to regard the OMT decision as an Ultra Vires act”, adding that this “creates an obligation of German authorities to refrain from implementing it”.
The verdict is a blow to the ECB’s president Mario Draghi, who unveiled the OMT in July 2012 with his pledge to do “whatever it takes” to save monetary union. The gambit restored faith in Spanish and Italian sovereign debt almost overnight and averted the imminent collapse of EMU, but Mr Draghi was always sailing close to the wind. While the German finance ministry backed the scheme, the Bundesbank and top German economists opposed it vehemently as a fiscal blank cheque for Club Med, and a fatal erosion of ECB independence.
The ECB insisted on Friday that “the OMT programme falls within its mandate”. One EU official said the Bundesbank is legally obliged to take part in OMT operations if called upon, but admitted that nobody can force it to obey. “If necessary we could still implement the OMT without Germany, but it would not send a good signal,” he said.
Hans Redeker, from Morgan Stanley, said the court - or Verfassungsgericht - had crippled the ECB. “They taken away the ECB’s weaponry, and greatly increased the hurdle for QE. The ECB won’t be able to respond as another wave of deflation hits from Asia, leaving the eurozone a step closer to a Japanese crisis,” he said.
Ebrahim Rahbari, from Citigroup, said the surprise decision was a “clear negative” that binds the hands of the ECB. While the European Court may eventually validate the OMT, it cannot deviate far from the German verdict without provoking a political backlash.
Udo di Fabio, a former judge at the Verfassungsgericht and author of earlier rulings on the euro, said the court is deliberately fencing in the ECJ, constraining its room for manoeuvre by issuing its own prior judgment.
Investors reacted calmly to the news, with bond yields falling slightly in southern Europe. “Italian and Spanish bonds have a gigantic comfort zone of 600 basis points. The market view is that the ECJ will wink this through when the time comes so there is nothing to worry about,” said Andrew Roberts, from RBS.
This is the first time that the Verfasungsgericht has referred a case to the European Court. Contrary to general belief, however, the ECJ is not the higher judicial body. The referral is a courtesy, and in this case a clever political ploy.
The Verfassungsgericht ruled in its famous judgment on the Maastricht Treaty in 1993 that it reserves the right to strike down any EU law that breaches the German Grundgesetz or Basic Law.
It went even further in its ruling on the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, reminding the EU authorities in acid terms that the sovereign states are the “masters of the EU Treaties” and not the other way around.
It set out limits to EU integration and warned that whole areas of policy “must forever remain German”, adding that Germany must be prepared to “refuse further participation in the European Union” if EU aggrandizement threatens its democracy in any way. Today Europe's most powerful court dropped another bombshell.

Regulators are driving the banks out of NY: Bove

Regulators are driving the banks out of NY: Bove

New York regulators will not stop filing suit against the big banks until they have successfully driven most large financial institutions out of the Empire State, banking analyst Richard Bove told CNBC on Monday.
From questionable hiring practices in China to concerns about the home foreclosure process in the United States, New York regulators have filed lawsuit after lawsuit against the big banks. And, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight.
Bove, vice president of equity research at Rafferty Capital, argued the heightened scrutiny has sent New York banking jobs elsewhere. BNY Mellon shipped jobs to Bangalore, India, for example, while Goldman Sachs chose to grow its staff in New Jersey and Utah instead of the Big Apple, he said.
"There used to be at least a dozen, you know, banks and brokerage firms that were headquartered in New York that were of great size. They're not there anymore," said Bove, who entered the securities experience in 1965. "And the ones that are left, they're pulling money and jobs out of New York, and why are they doing it? Well, one of the key reasons, you've had three attorney generals in a row, who just can't stop suing them."
But, of course, not everyone shares Bove's sympathy for the banks.
Andrew Stoltmann, who appeared on "Closing Bell" with Bove, called his defense of the big banks "one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard."
"If you don't want to pay the fine, don't do the crime," said Stoltmann, a partner at Stoltmann Law Office, who specializes in securities litigation. "The banks have nobody to blame except themselves and for them to be pointing the finger and saying, 'The regulators are beating us up, this is so unfortunate, we're going to elsewhere'—look, you have yourself to blame."

FACT CHECK #97

FACT CHECK #97



Greetings, To All Of You!
The last two years have seen  information of a different character from ages past. Those who are in the trenches have come forward  to provide highly accurate pieces of information to be shared with those interested in reading it. This contrasts with information found in prior years that was from just about anyone and contained just about anything. All these years later we can look back and conclude that although many had their heart in the right place, there just was not a reliable way to cross check and verify the source. So, the information was just labeled as “from a source”.
This is certainly okay to come up with material for a blog, but leaves something to be desired in the accuracy department. Hence, for over a decade, we saw nothing come of the “updates” regarding the events germane to our discourse.
Well, as you have seen over the past several months, various analysts both inside and outside of the communication channels that GCR/WGS aficionados frequent, have seen converging news items pointing to the factual nature of a Global Currency Reset heading our way.  This was not the case, in terms of frequency of reporting, just six months ago. A few years ago, if you mentioned that we were going back to a metals backed US Dollar, you would have been called a psycho. As many of you know now, there is ample evidence from people with considerable credentials that it would be psycho to NOT believe it.
We are in a whole new ballgame now. We owe this to those who are working hard behind the scenes. It has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to make sure we had a conduit, no mater how slim, to someone with the truth, and could withstand scrutiny. Well, we have that with out WH contact, and I have done my best to see that the information in our Fact Check posts was accurate to a WH standard. It is the WHs who deserve your thanks for this. Don’t forget that.
Now, onto the business at hand.
The last 24 hours have been a frenzy. Out of that frenzy came this information, found at OneWorldofNations blog:
“Major moves on RV behind the scenes. Watch and see. It has now bypassed O for decisions. With or without him, it’s going forward. He still thinks he’s the real President? Lol. Well a Pig did fly.”
This information was confirmed by our generous WH contact as being true.
Now, contrast that with other blogs which posted the following in the last 24 hours:
“OBAMA finally signed off on the RV Sunday Evening at 6:00 pm in Reno Time. This signoff tardiness cancelled [sic]the announcements scheduled for Sunday.”
Well, I hope you can appreciate the difference here. One cannot sign off and be bypassed for that signature at the same time. If he signed off, then he obviously wasn’t bypassed. If he was bypassed, he wasn’t needed to sign off. Holy mackerel!  Imagine the power behind a process that can render a Presidential signature irrelevant when the whole world is about the change!
So, I leave it to you to decide which of the two scenarios probably played out. I wanted to show you a good example of what having the correct information can mean in forming an accurate picture of what is truly transpiring and just who is for the change, and who is not.
REMEMBER: Just cash in. Take the rate you see and run.
More to follow as needed.
Thank you all for your support. We are an all volunteer effort, and exist to make sure you have the most accurate, up to date information that we can bring, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood White Hat. 
For the first time in years I am feeling extremely optimistic about this world changing event. Even a very close friend of mine, whose son is a VP with a Deutsche Bank subsidiary, and is the equivalent of a human grumpy cat, admitted that there is talk of a “reset” in their office. He hated to admit it, but he did.
No word if he has jumped yet. 
Ha!
More when needed.
