[artmeister2] Poppy 3 made a post this morning and he agrees with Randy K in that the GOI wants the Rv done NOW!@!! However the IMF and CBI want to make sure Maliki does not have a chance to get re-elected and if he Rv's now, he will look good and just maybe pull something they don't want. At least that is the reasoning for maybe Now to the 15th or even end of April. So, just reporting.

[wycoffjul] Could this be what we are waiting for? BAGHDAD / Center Brief for the Iraqi Media Network (IMN) - A member of the National Bloc Cdhir Qais, said deputies bloc led by Iyad Allawi, to attend a meeting on Sunday to complete the quorum and proceed with the second reading of the draft budget.

[mort] anyone know much about cdars

[mort] .How CDARS work:   http://www.cdars.com/howcdarsworks/default.aspx

[Sallypuff] mort - Cdar accounts are where the depositing bank, transfers funds, in excess of the FDIC Ins limits to other banks offering Cdar service. This enables your deposit to be insured for the total amount on deposit. I don't recall if Cdar accounts are non interest bearing accounts. Many small banks do not offer Cdar service. Maybe DAZ or someone else can answer whether Cdar accounts are NIB.
....

[Sallypuff] mort - you need to check prior to making a deposit with the bank to find out if it offers Cdar service.

[Sallypuff] mort - Request CDARS coverage if available. Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, operated by the Promontory Inter-financial Network, FDIC insured up to 50 million dollars. Paid for by the bank, so they won't tell you about it.

[Sallypuff] mort - if you will have more than $50 million then to have Cdar protection for all your funds you would need to make deposits in more than one bank offering Cdar service.

[Sallypuff]   http://www.dinarrecaps.com/1/post/2014/04/repost-per-request-preparing-for-exchange-meeting.html

 [imperium] Sallypuff CDARS are interest bearing.

[Sallypuff] imperium - Thanks for the clarification.

Bunnsarelli] imperium so would you do NIB or CDARS?

[imperium] Bunnsarelli Depending on your needs either one serves its purpose.

 [imperium] Bunnsarelli CDARS is a product that allows deposits above $250k to be spread into many $250k max accounts and thereby still be within the FDIC ceiling... which is rediculous anyway because if a bank goes belly up the FDIC will cover your loss, but they have up to 99 years to do so. Guess you'll never get paid. oy vey

[Bunnsarelli] imperium I agree with you on that and I'm fairly certain Lloyds of London will insure anything for a price so that needs discovery and applicability

[imperium] Bunnsarelli yes

[Bunnsarelli] imperium sallypuff mentioned having over 50 mill that CDARS would be a good fit. That alone is 200 bank accounts....

[imperium] Bunnsarelli it's a good fit if it fits your needs and intentions. There's no 'pat hand' here... it depends on your personal needs & preferences. I'd never put that kind of money into CDARS accts.

[Bunnsarelli] yes that was pretty much my point….. agreed

[imperium] Until something changes, the interest would never cover the losss in purchasing power due to inflation. Interest is a scam.

Fort Hood gunman vented on Facebook about Sandy Hook shooter, Iraq

By Ray Sanchez, CNN

updated 7:53 PM EDT, Sat April 5, 2014

(CNN) -- Spc. Ivan Lopez vented about a range of subjects in Facebook posts before his shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas, including his outrage at Adam Lanza's mass school shooting in Connecticut, the overpowering fear experienced during an insurgent attack in Iraq and the feeling of all-consuming hatred after being "robbed."

Lopez took his own .45-caliber handgun onto the sprawling post Wednesday and killed three people and wounded 16 more before taking his own life, according to authorities.

They are trying to piece together what in his background and psychiatric treatment could have triggered a new round of bloodshed at the same Killeen post where an officer killed 13 people in 2009.

A 34-year-old Iraq war veteran with a history of depression and anxiety, Lopez was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder before his shooting spree. He arrived at the post in February after being transferred from Fort Bliss in El Paso.

His Facebook posts, which were obtained from a Lopez family friend, appeared under the account name of "Ivan Slipknot," a reference to a heavy metal band. A family spokesman confirmed the account belonged to Lopez.

Images of Spc. Ivan Lopez taken from a Facebook page.

It is unclear whether his posts might help explain his mental state or a possible motive in the shootings. Authorities have said the motive is not known.

"Given that the alleged shooter is deceased, the possibility does exist that we may never know exactly why the alleged shooter did what he did," said Chris Grey, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

In early March, around the time investigators said he purchased the .45-caliber pistol used in the shootings, Lopez wrote: "My spiritual peace has just gone. Full of hate. Now I think I'll be damned. Last night I was robbed and I'm pretty sure there were 2 skinny ones. Green light and thumb down. That easy."

The details of the robbery are unknown. Killeen, Texas, police said the records department was closed Saturday.

In another Facebook post, Lopez talked about Lanza, 20, who killed his mother, Nancy, before fatally shooting 20 children, six staff members and himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown in December 2012.

Three soldiers slain at Fort Hood identified

Lanza wanted his minute of fame, Fort Hood shooter writes

Lopez wrote that Lanza "pretends to be a victim of a mental illness followed by addiction to violent video games" and that the shooter sought "international attention" and a "minute of fame as a villain."

He added, "It is stupid to me that anyone can have easy access to a powerful weapon without being mentally evaluated. This makes the government indirect accomplice... These bastards have perfected their way of attacking studying previous massacres to gain publicity and their minute of fame as a villain. But thanks to Hollywood and the sensational profiling by the media [they] give more power to those intelligent cowards."

Another post dealt with his time in Iraq: "Celebrating life. It has been exactly 1 year and 2 days since left Iraq seeing in Fallujah the most brutal explosion... I was left paralyzed and started a discussion over the radio... I was only focused on breathing deeply so that I don't lose focus and continue the mission. [Those] were hours of agony waiting for an attack by the insurgency but we were able to exit Fallujah all alive. I was in vehicle #6.The worst was that #5 was a diesel truck, the perfect target. And I was only thinking about getting back with my family."

Lopez added: "To be in the line of fire is f----- up but even more f----- is the suffering of the families."

Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, the post's commanding general, said Lopez did not experience direct combat in Iraq.

"So far, we have not discovered any specific traumatic event, wounds received in action, contact with the enemy or anything else specific that he may have been exposed to while deployed," the general said.

Grey said authorities had "credible information" that Lopez "was involved in a verbal altercation with soldiers from his unit just prior to him allegedly opening fire."

Messages left Saturday by CNN for Grey about the Facebook posts were not immediately returned.

In a statement Friday, Lopez' father, also named Ivan, asked for prayers for all those affected. He described the soldier as "a calm family man" and "a good son."

"My son could not have been in his right mind," he said. "He was not like this."

Lopez was Iraq vet being treated for mental health issues

Looking for clues into GI's actions, motive

Before Wednesday's shooting, Lopez stopped at the post's personnel office to pick up a leave form, according to the sister of one of the soldiers injured in the attack.

Armetra Otis, sister of Sgt. Jonathan Westbrook, said on CNN's "The Lead" that her brother "was at work and a guy came in and asked for a leave form."

The soldier was told he would have to come back later, Otis said.

"And apparently I guess he didn't want to hear that, so he came back and just opened fire, " Otis said.

Westbrook was shot four times, but released from a hospital Friday, his sister said.

Law enforcement sources told CNN that investigators were searching for possible motives, including whether Lopez was angry over canceled leave.

If Lopez sought a leave this week, it wouldn't be his first.

Glidden Lopez Torres, a family spokesman, said Lopez' mother, Carmen, an emergency room nurse in their hometown, died of a heart attack in November. A month earlier, Lopez' grandfather had died in Guayanilla,a tight knit municipality on the southern coast of Puerto Rico.

The spokesman, not related to the soldier, said Lopez attended the funeral but was disappointed that it took about five days for his 24-hour leave to be approved by the military.

In Friday's statement, the soldier's father said his son's medical treatment, the recent deaths of his mother and grandfather and changes related to a transfer of military installations "surely affected his condition."

Again, a female cop is hero at Fort Hood

Bill Clinton Is Right: There Are Aliens in Space

• Jeffrey Kluger @jeffreykluger

April 3, 2014

The former president weighs in on the existence of ET—and he's probably right

One of the good things about being an ex-President is that you get to say the kinds of things you could never say when you were still the most powerful person in the world. Take aliens—the space kind. Last night, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, the 42nd prez admitted not only that when he was in the White House he ordered a review of all of the documents related to the long running rumors over aliens landing in Roswell, N.M. in 1947, but that he would not be surprised if we did eventually get a cosmic caller.

“If we were visited someday I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said, “I just hope it’s not like Independence Day,” a reference to the 1996 movie in which aliens do land—and behave very, very badly.

Has Clinton gone ’round the bend? Not a bit–depending on whether you subscribe to the life-is-easy or life-is-hard school of thought. Physicist, broadcaster and author Paul Davies of Arizona State University is one of the leading proponents of the we’re-all-alone camp, arguing in his aptly titled book The Eerie Silence that biology emerging from dead chemicals was such a cosmic longshot that it’s entirely possible it happened only once, here. But that position is becoming increasingly untenable.

First, there are about 300 billion stars in the Milky Way and our galaxy is one of at least 100 billion in the universe. So, as the overworked idiom goes, do the math. What’s more, ever since the Kepler Space Telescope was launched in 2009, close to 4,000 candidate planets have been discovered in the Milky Way and close to 1,000 have been confirmed.

Planets aren’t the same as biology—witness Earth’s lifeless brothers and sisters in our solar system—but the increasingly evident presence of water and organic chemicals in asteroids, comets and throughout the interstellar medium suggests that the ingredients for life are everywhere. If that’s so, it may take little more than that chemistry plus some energy source (light or heat) plus time to cook up something living. Clinton may have had his political critics in his eight years in the White House, but science, in this case, appears to be on his side.

Rwanda wasn't what I thought it would be

Join the conversation

CNN iReport

By LeAnn Hager, Special to CNN

updated 4:28 PM EDT, Fri April 4, 2014

Editor's note: Twenty years ago, Rwanda was nearly ripped apart by an inter-tribal genocide that killed an estimated 800,000 people, mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group. LeAnn Hager works for Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. She was the organization's Country Representative in Rwanda between 2012 and 2014. She now heads a team in Central African Republic. Hager's story first appeared on CNN iReport. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.

(CNN) -- When I first arrived in Rwanda's capital in 2012, I deliberately did not visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I did not want that experience to influence how I approached the country and its people.

In my mind, Rwanda was going to be this country that was still on the brink of economic disaster. It would be very poorly set up, with a bad road system and difficult telecommunications. Frankly, I despaired of working with the government, thinking it would be extremely challenging to work with.

I remember 1994 well. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa and the Rwandan genocide, right on the heels of Nelson Mandela's election in South Africa, was big news across the continent.

The child-run household I met after the genocide

When I was assigned to Rwanda 18 years later, my first thought was the genocide -- this is probably true for most people. But when I asked friends and colleagues who had lived there for advice, they spoke highly of the country and her people. I started seeing this as another adventure on this continent that I love, though I had visions of the film "Hotel Rwanda" resounding in my mind.

Those preconceptions were quickly dispelled once I got there.

When you get to Rwanda, you are hit by the incongruity that strikes so many: How could such a horrible thing have happened in such a beautiful country? The nickname Land of a Thousand Hills is not an exaggeration. Rwanda's countryside is dotted with what appear to be literally a thousand hills that are a mixture of mountains, volcanoes and hillocks. The beauty is reflected in the people: Rwandans are incredibly friendly and hospitable. But just as you cannot see the other side of a mountain, you cannot always tell what is going on behind those eyes.

Rwandans obey their country's many rules. I love that, to reduce pollution, plastic bags are forbidden and even taken from you when you arrive at the airport! For anyone who has spent time in Africa, it's incredible to see people actually wearing helmets on motorcycles, drivers and passengers alike, both in Kigali and in the countryside.

National pride and a commitment to the idea that Rwandans should lead the development of their country are strong. From them came the concept of Umuganda, or community service. During the last Saturday of each month, citizens do some type of community work in their neighborhood, like picking up garbage or cutting the grass. If they do not show up, they're fined an amount determined by the neighborhood leader. (These days the neighborhoods are like anywhere else: Some are made up of different tribes and ethnicities and others are homogenous.)

Amid the beautiful parks and tea plantations are the somber genocide memorials found in virtually every community. They serve as a daily reminder to never forget the atrocities. At the same time, they allow for personal reflection on mankind's capacity for both evil and resilience.

 

Rwandan's mission: Justice after genocide

 

Why 'eye for eye' couldn't work in Rwanda

 

20 years on, children of Rwanda's rape

Four months after my arrival, I was ready to see the Kigali Genocide Memorial. I was glad I had waited. You walk alongside slabs of cement: a mass grave where over 250,000 people killed in Kigali are buried. At the end of one of the cement tombs is a wall with names, an attempt to identify some of the souls lost during the tragic 100 days of the genocide. You almost weep when you realize they will never identify them all.

One room tells the tale of other genocides or "cleansing" events in history around the world, reminding us that the international community has not been diligent about the oft-quoted pledge, "Never again." And in the room dedicated to children who were killed -- you see their names, what they enjoyed doing and who was their best friend -- your heart starts to tear. I was never able to actually read all the remembrances to these children. Though I have always considered myself a pretty tough and realistic humanitarian worker, I had never seen anything like this.

A single visit ensures that the memorial realizes its purpose -- you will never forget.

It's an experience that makes you wonder how any society can come back together after something that tears so deeply. But I know from what I had seen, and from my organization's work, that it is possible. Many genocide survivors and perpetrators have since been able to seek and grant forgiveness and now live peacefully, side by side.

I watched a woman tear up and embrace a man who had killed her family.

Witnessing these scenes is almost surreal, but deeply moving and humbling. Could I ever forgive? Could I ever confess and ask for forgiveness?

Looking at Rwandans today with a certainty that such an atrocity can never happen again, you wonder "How did this ever happen in the first place?" When Rwandans say "never again," I believe them. But when I look at the international community, those words don't have the same meaning. Are we really a community in which most of us watched this suffering and death from the sidelines?

It will happen again somewhere else. We've seen it in history.

In March of this year, I was asked to head our program in the Central African Republic. The lessons from Rwanda still echoing in my head, I was compelled to say "yes" to a country being torn apart by intercommunal fighting, just as Rwanda had been. My time in Rwanda has shown me the limitations of what the international community will do in situations like this, but also taught me lessons and given me hope.

Just 20 years ago, Rwandans went through genocide, but they came back and they came back quickly. I attribute a lot of that to the strong will, the leadership and most importantly, to the resiliency of the Rwandan people.

Peace is possible. Reconciliation is possible. I pray that we can realize the same here in Central African Republic. And we can, with a little influence and a lot of political will.

Former top Dutch banker found dead with wife, daughter

13 Hours Ago

Reuters

A Dutch former top banker who came under fire for taking a large pay-off after the nationalization of his troubled bank was found dead along with his wife and daughter on Saturday in what police called a family tragedy.
Jan Peter Schmittmann, 57, ran the domestic operations of Dutch bank ABN Amro between 2003 and 2007 and was widely criticized for landing an 8 million euro ($10.95 million) pay-off after the bank's collapse and subsequent nationalization.
Police said they visited his house in the wealthy commuter town of Laren early on Saturday after being alerted by a family friend. There they found his body along with those of his 57-year-old wife and 22-year-old younger daughter.
A police spokeswoman said an investigation was underway but that all early clues pointed to a family drama having taken place. There was no indication that Schmittmann's business dealings had played any role in the tragedy.
The daily Algemeen Dagblad said the three were found by Schmittmann's elder daughter who had come to visit before departing for India, where she had been due to do an internship.
The elder daughter was in the care of wider family and the police victim care unit, police spokeswoman Leonie Bosselaar said.
Schmittmann paved the way for ABN Amro's break-up and sale in 2007 to a consortium of the banks Royal Bank of Scotland, Fortis and Santander. After they came into difficulties during the global financial crisis, the Dutch government nationalized the core Dutch operations of ABN Amro.
When he left the bank after its nationalization in 2008, Schmittmann was contractually due a 16 million euro pay-off, a sum that was halved after then finance minister Wouter Bos described it as "exorbitant".

Top American official charges U.N. patent organization chief with 'serious violations of national and international law'

By George Russell

Published April 04, 2014

FoxNews.com

The top American official at the United Nations’ World Intellectual Property Organization has accused its Director General, Francis Gurry, of “serious misconduct”  and “violations of national and international law” in connection with a bizarre series of alleged 2008 burglaries of staffers’ offices to obtain samples of their DNA.
The official, James Pooley, is one of Gurry’s four top deputies, and also a highly regarded U.S. patent lawyer, who was nominated for his WIPO job by the Obama Administration in 2009.

ADVERTISEMENT

Pooley himself is head of the Innovation and Technology branch of WIPO, which administers the international Patent Cooperation Treaty, and which offers patent protection and garners tens of millions in fees annually for providing access to patents in 148 countries.
The accusations he has formally brought forward to WIPO’s member states are not new: they have been put forward by other former WIPO staffers in tribunals that consider internal U.N. justice matters, but no one of Pooley’s rank has done so.
Pooley, in a “Report of Misconduct,” filed Wednesday with the legislative branches of the Geneva-based organization known as WIPO and also sent to the U.S. Mission in Geneva, calls for WIPO’s  member states to “demand immediate answers and explanations from Mr. Gurry” about the charges, and suspend him from duty pending an independent investigation if he fails to comply.
Through his attorney, Pooley declined an interview request from Fox News, “on account of his duty of confidentiality as a staff member of WIPO.”
For his part, Gurry told Fox News, “The allegations are without foundation and I have no further comment.” But he has previously stated  that “I have not seen any allegation that is substantiated. Every single allegation is a repetition of a previous allegation that is being made.”
Pooley’s accusations, obtained by Fox News, are just the latest eruption of controversy at WIPO, a low-profile U.N. “specialized agency” that is gatekeeper for international protection of, and access to, the huge trove of largely Western-originated patents and other forms of intellectual property that are the centerpiece of the 21^st Century economy. 
Few countries have a bigger stake in WIPO’s welfare than the U.S., which is by far the largest filer of international patents under the treaties administered by the organization.
Much of WIPO’s spate of controversy has had to do with the autocratic Gurry, an Australian who was recently re-selected by WIPO’s 83-nation Coordinating Committee for a second term starting in October. The decision must still be ratified by the 187 members of WIPOs General Assembly in May.
That ratification is still considered likely.
Gurry has already survived several fierce international storms in the past two years, mostly to do with his penchant for taking controversial actions without informing  the countries that make up WIPO’s membership.
In September, 2012, an investigative committee picked by Gurry himself found “inexplicable” and “unfathomable” a WIPO decision to provide sensitive U.S.-made computers and other high-tech equipment to North Korea and Iran as part of a renovation of WIPO facilities, without informing the U.N.’s committees that monitor sanctions against them. 
Gurry refused to let staffers, including his current accuser, testify before Congress about the WIPO actions.
Last October, another major fuss erupted when participants in WIPO’s annual assembly learned that he had agreed to open new offices in Russia and China without asking for approval. That kicked off an uproar as other countries demanded the same privilege, and the ten-day assembly closed without passing a biennial budget.
Pooley’s complaint, however, is focused on a tangled series of  actions that go back even further in WIPO’s convoluted history, prior to Gurry’s first election as Director General in March 2008.
A variety of evidence, Pooley argues, points toward the likelihood that Gurry, then WIPO’s de facto No. 2, directed security officers to break into the offices to obtain DNA samples from various small personal items of selected staffers as part of a secretive effort to find and root out some faceless opponents.
The samples were used by Swiss police to  check if any of the staffers were the authors of  a series of anonymous letters filled with vague charges of financial impropriety against  Gurry and his wife, which had appeared the previous October. 
At the time, Gurry had filed a criminal defamation charge with Swiss authorities against his unnamed detractors.
All of the staffers Gurry had allegedly suspected were cleared—after their diplomatic immunity was temporarily lifted and their DNA formally checked by police. The formal clearances, Pooley says, came a week after Gurry was confirmed as WIPO’s new Director General.
Even though none of the staffers was charged, Pooley argues, what happened between the secret acquisitions and the police checks was “nothing less than a burglary of personal property that carried biological evidence of the persons who owned it,” an “unlawful act” that was also a “violation of human rights.”
According to Pooley, the alleged crime was discovered after one of the affected staffers persisted in obtaining the police lab reports on the issue, and discovered that DNA samples had been taken months before the formal police checks.
One of the samples in the lab report, it turned out, came from a WIPO security officer with ties to Gurry, who now works at another U.N. agency. Pooley argues—circumstantially—that “it does not stretch our understanding of human behavior to infer” that Gurry could have ordered the actions.
Since then, according to Pooley, Gurry has actively been involved in covering up the case. One of the offended staffers filed her own criminal complaint about the privacy violations in 2009, and the next year filed a case with the International Labor Organization Administrative Tribunal, which handles WIPO staff justice issues. 
Amid charges and counter-charges, Pooley says that Gurry suddenly ordered the woman transferred from Geneva to Singapore, a move she did not want to make; the woman subsequently reached a settlement with WIPO that included a non-disclosure agreement.
The DNA theft issue was taken up again in 2012 by another staffer—Gurry’s newly-created Strategic Advisor to the Director General, Miranda Brown, a fellow Australian who arrived at WIPO as the previous case was reaching its height.   Brown subsequently resigned from her job in December, 2012, charging that Gurry had made her work “impossible.”
BROWN’S RESIGNATION LETTER
Before she left, however, Brown also filed a request for an investigation of Gurry that eventually included the alleged DNA theft. According to Pooley, that probe was squelched after Gurry put severe pressure on WIPO’s chief internal watchdog, who reports to the Director General as well as an independent audit committee.
In February 2014, Brown brought her own complaint against Gurry to the ILO Administrative Tribunal, over the lack of investigation by WIPO of her charges. Among other things, Brown argued that her resignation from WIPO was “forced,” the investigation of her charges was “completely corrupted,” and that having exhausted the “internal means of redress,” she demanded an “independent investigation into these disturbing circumstances.”
That case is still grinding through the ILO justice machinery, and according to Pooley “is likely to take years to resolve.”
The question is whether Pooley’s intervention will make much anything happen much faster. The response of the State Department to his “Report of Misconduct” hints that the Obama Administration is not about to come charging into battle any time soon.
In response to e-mailed queries from Fox News, a State Department spokesman said the WIPO official had “discussed his concerns with the U.S. Mission in Geneva in advance of his decision to make his allegations public,” and that Pooley’s report “has been shared with appropriate offices throughout the United States government. 
The spokesman added that “We take the allegations in Mr. Pooley’s report very seriously and are reviewing the report carefully.    The U.S. Government is committed to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse at the United Nations and elsewhere, and will continue to work to assure that whistle blowers can report wrongdoing without fear of reprisal.”
Moreover, the spokesman declared,  “The State Department has expressed to Mr. Gurry its concerns about the need for continued reform at WIPO to improve management practices and efficiency.   We continue to work with WIPO, as we do with all international organizations, to promote transparent procedures and accountability.” 
Likely translation: don’t hold your breath.

US. Government Guilty of Martin Luther King’s Murder – The Corporate Media Covers it Up

2014 Worldwide Wave of Action: Arrest Dr. King’s killers: US government, media ‘leaders’ By Carl Herman Global Research, April 04, 2014 Washington's Blog “We have done what we can to reveal the truth, and we now urge you as members of the media, and we call upon elected officials, and other persons of influence to do what they can to share the revelation of this case to the widest possible audience.” – Coretta Scott King, married to Martin for 15 years, worked to communicate the facts of his assassination by the US government for 31 years: King Family Press Conference, Dec. 9, 1999. Today’s US government and media “leaders” are criminally complicit among Martin’s killers because they ongoingly cover-up the assassination year-after-year with known lies. The following summary of documentation from the King Family 1999 civil trial’s verdict of US government guilt for Martin’s execution prove that ongoing lies from government and corporate media “leaders” were obviously required and planned in their conspiracy to assassinate Martin. Without ongoing cover-up, the damning facts the King family brought to trial would expose US government and corporate media oligarchs conspired to murder one of the most powerful, loving, and virtuous Americans in history. Justice requires Americans to demand arrests of today’s leaders as not merely accessories after-the-fact, but ongoing principal actors required to assassinate Dr. Kingby lying about the evidence, and also directly involved today for the reason to assassinate Martin in 1968: to stop the occupation of Washington DC until the unlawful Wars of Aggression of his day were ended, and full resources committed to economic prosperity and ending poverty. Martin’s speech to end a US unlawful War of Aggression, the Vietnam War, speaks to us today with our inclusion of the legal argument that these US wars are not even close to lawful, based on lies known to be false as they were told, and with criminal conspiracy of corporate media to both lie and hide these fundamental facts from US military and public. Martin would be thrilled to know of economic answers to fully fund economic prosperity in America and around our beautiful but dominated planet: monetary reform, public banking and credit, and CAFR reform. Today’s leaders’ lies extend to psychopathically “praising” Martin on the national holiday created after killing him. In these presidents’ hypocrisy, we can find truths to empower the 2014 Worldwide Wave of Action (in fairness to Reagan, I conclude he was largely unaware how he was being used): “During his lifelong struggle for justice and equality, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave mighty voice to the quiet hopes of millions, offered a redemptive path for oppressed and oppressors alike, and led a Nation to the mountaintop. Behind the bars of a Birmingham jail cell, he reminded us that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’… I encourage all Americans to… appropriate civic, community, and service projects in honor of Dr. King.” – Obama (2014) “Those who advocate a course that I have called ‘cutting and running’ have not studied the wisdom of the Rev. King. Peace, he understood, cannot come as the fruit of cowardice or the failure of will.” –Bush (2007) “… we are still far from achieving the world for which Dr. King struggled, toiled, and bled. He did not live and die to create a world in which people kill each other with reckless abandon… If we are to be faithful to Dr. King’s vision, we must each seize responsibility for realizing the goals he worked so tirelessly to fulfill.” - Clinton (1995) “In his words and deeds, Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded all Americans of the stern admonition issued by Abraham Lincoln in 1858, when he warned the people of Edwardsville, Illinois, of the tragic consequences that continued tolerance of slavery could hold for the United States. President Lincoln, like great Americans of all generations, knew that our Nation’s strength lies in the conviction that every human being is of inestimable worth and that the only legitimate end of government is to protect the God-given rights of each individual. ‘Destroy this spirit,’ Lincoln warned, ‘and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors. Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.’ – Bush Senior (1990) “Let all Americans continue to carry forward the banner that 18 years ago fell from Dr. King’s hands… Today we honor him with speeches and monuments. But let us do more. Let all Americans of every race and creed and color work together to build in this blessed land a shining city of brotherhood, justice, and harmony. This is the monument Dr. King would have wanted most of all. – Reagan (1986) The 2014 Worldwide Wave of Action (and here) begins on the April 4 anniversary of Martin King’s assassination by the US government (civil court trial verdict), with this operation completing ~July 4 (Martin’ 2-minute plea to you). Purpose of this operation: Expose 1% oligarchs in the US and elsewhere as OBVIOUS criminals centering in war, money, andmedia (also in ~100 other crucial areas). Cause their surrender through arrests or Truth & Reconciliation. Initiate true freedom for all Earth’s inhabitants to explore ready breakthroughs in economics (links here) and technology, and discover what it is to be human without psychopathic criminals whojoke about killing millions, harming billions, and looting trillions. Dr. Martin Luther King’s family and personal friend/attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King Center fully documents the case, with full trial transcript. The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of a guilty plea were denied. Mr. Ray said that his government-appointed attorney told him to sign a guilty plea to prevent the death penalty for his part in delivering the murder weapon for Dr. King’s assassination, and to prevent arrests of his father and brother as probable co-conspirators. Mr. Ray produced a letter from his attorney stating the promise that Mr. Ray would receive a trial. When Mr. Ray discovered that he was solely blamed for Dr. King’s assassination and would never receive a trial, the King family’s and Mr. Ray’s subsequent requests for a trial were denied. The US government also denied the King family’s requests for independent investigation of the assassination. Therefore, and importantly, the US government has never presented any evidence subject to challenge that substantiates their claim that Mr. Ray assassinated Dr. King. US corporate media did not cover the trial, interview the King family, and textbooks omit this information. Journalist and author, James Douglass: “I can hardly believe the fact that, apart from the courtroom participants, only Memphis TV reporter Wendell Stacy and I attended from beginning to end this historic three-and-one-half week trial. Because of journalistic neglect scarcely anyone else in this land of ours even knows what went on in it. After critical testimony was given in the trial’s second week before an almost empty gallery, Barbara Reis, U.S. correspondent for the Lisbon daily Publico who was there several days, turned to me and said, “Everything in the U.S. is the trial of the century. O.J. Simpson’s trial was the trial of the century. Clinton’s trial was the trial of the century. But this is the trial of the century, and who’s here?” ” For comparison, please consider the media coverage of O.J. Simpson’s trials: “Media coverage of the Simpson trial, which began in January 1995, was unlike any other. Over two thousand reporters covered the trial, and 80 miles of cable was required to allow nineteen television stations to cover the trial live to 91 percent of the American viewing audience. When the verdict was finally read on October 3, 1995, some 142 million people listened or watched. It seemed the nation stood still, divided along racial lines as to the defendant’s guilt or innocence. During and after the trial, over eighty books were published about the event by most everyone involved in the Simpson case.” The overwhelming evidence BIG SNIP MORE AT LINK

A mere two weeks since former JPMorgan banker, Kenneth Bellando jumped to his death, Bloomberg reports that the former CEO of Dutch Bank ABN Amro (and his wife and daughter) were found dead at their home after a possible “family tragedy.” This expands the dismal list of senior financial services executive deaths to 12 in the last few months. The 57-year-old Jan Peter Schmittmann, was reportedly discovered by his other daughter when she arrived home that morning. Police declined to comment on the cirumstances of his (and his wife and daughter’s) death. This is not the first C-level ABN Amro banker to be found dead. In 2009, former CFO Huibert Boumeester was discovered with (assumed self-inflicted) shotgun wounds. Read more: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-05/abn-amro-ex-ceo-found-dead
