Val(k)erie Jarrett Key Player in Fast and Furious Cover-Up After Holder Lied to Congress
Posted By: Watchman

President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, was a key player in the effort to cover up that Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about the Fast and Furious scandal, according to public records obtained by Judicial Watch.
The information is part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) “Vaughn index” detailing records about the gun-running operation known as Fast and Furious. JW had to sue the agency for the records after the Obama administration failed to provide them under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). A federal court ordered the DOJ to provide the records over the agency’s objections. Yesterday JW reported on the broad information in the records, including that Obama asserted executive privilege for Holder’s wife as part of the administration’s efforts to cover up the scandal.
Practically lost in the 1,000-plus pages of records is an index that shows Jarrett was brought in to manage the fact that Holder lied to Congress after the story about the disastrous gun-running operation broke in the media. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran the once-secret program that allowed guns from the U.S. to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels. Instead, federal law enforcement officers lost track of hundreds of weapons which have been used in an unknown number of crimes, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona.
The files received by JW include three electronic mails between Holder and Jarrett and one from former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke to Jarrett. The e-mails with Holder are all from October 4, 2011, a significant date because, on the evening of October 3rd, Sheryl Attkisson (then at CBS news) released documents showing that Holder had been sent a briefing paper on Operation Fast and Furious on June 5, 2010. The paper was from the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, Michael Walther.
This directly contradicted Holder’s May 3, 2011 testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, during which he stated that he, “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.” The October 4, 2011 date may also be significant because it came shortly after the August 30, 2011 resignation of U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke and reassignment of acting ATF director Kenneth Melson to the position of “senior forensics advisor” at DOJ.
The description of one of the e-mails, written from Jarrett to Holder, reads, “re: personnel issues.” Another, also from Jarrett, reads, “outlining and discussing preferred course of action for future responses in light of recent development in congressional investigation.” Unfortunately, the index is vague and that’s all the information we have about them. Nevertheless, given the timing and subject of these e-mails, it seems clear that Jarrett quickly became a key player in the Fast and Furious cover-up in the immediate aftermath of the revelation that Holder had lied to Congress.

Alex Jones: Flu Shot Spiked with KILLER Viruses

Alex Jones: Flu Shot Spiked with KILLER Viruses

  In March of 2009, pharmaceutical giants Baxter and Bayer attempted to infect the populations of 18 countries with a deadly laboratory-made bird flu which -- when introduced to sizable populations -- was certain to mutate and/or recombine with the non-lethal airborne seasonal flu virus in the vaccines which health departments of nations typically dispense to their citizenries. This means that the lethal, but non-airborne bird flu virus would become airborne to unleash a worldwide plague via the masses who are deceived into clamoring for the vaccine, their perceived agent of protection, which would have ironically been the agent of their demise.
  However, the eighteen victimized nations detected the lethality of this Baxter/Bayer trojan horse concoction, and voiced strong objections to this genocidal plot by "big pharma."
  Today, a comparably malicious plot is likely being foisted upon the world. Judging by their past treachery, we can be sure that this deadly ebola virus has been concocted in a laboratory and was released by the same demonic perpetrators (sitting atop the pyramid of world power) who tried to murder us with the lethally spiked seasonal flu vaccine
five and a half years ago.       JD

CLAIM YOUR SHARE OF $10 TRILLION! PASS THE OMNI LAW! FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - OCT. 23, 2014.



CLAIM YOUR SHARE OF $10 TRILLION! PASS THE OMNI LAW! FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - OCT. 23, 2014. ACTUALLY $10 TRILLION WAS MONEY PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN WANTED TO BE SPLIT BETWEEN YOU THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WASHINGTON POLITICIANS WANT TO POCKET THE MONEY. WE OF THE OMNI LAW DRIVE WANT YOU TO GET THE MONEY PRESIDENT REAGAN WANTED YOU TO RECEIVE AFTER THE COLD WAR WAS OVER! OBAMA AND OTHER CORRUPT POLITICIANS DON'T WANT YOU TO GET THIS!
     It has been widely reported that there is basically $33 trillion in a super fund set up by President Ronald Reagan to end the Cold War with and pay off the national debt with. Leftover money to be paid to the American people. He left Lee Wanta in charge of these funds for America. Crooked politicians in Wash., D.C. are trying to figure out how to steal this fortune of trillions of dollars from the American people without the American people knowing that they had trillions of dollars stolen from them. The politicians are crooked as all hell in Wash., D.C. is why you have never received nothing from this reported $33 trillion Reagan created fund under the appointed authority for the fund of Lee Wanta, a loyal supporter of President Ronald Reagan's plan to give America a bright future.
    
     It is said that $17 trillion should be enough to pay off the current national debt. So let's pay off the current national debt. This will release a giant sum of money to you for the rest of your lives so long as you don't let the politicians in Congress and White House conspire to mass tax you once more when there is no longer any reason to. On any job you suddenly have a giant pay raise created by the Reagan fund for you and for the rest of your life if you don't let the thieves in Congress take it away from you. It is now time for you to stand up for your rights or else soon the crooked politicians will steal this fund from you and you get nothing! Pass the Omni Law now by passing this report around and putting intense heat on politicians to pass the Omni Law now or else they will face your political wrath in voting. Most of your money goes to service the national debt and pay for tax increases decreed by the members of Congress who are poor stewards of your funds paid in taxes to Wash., D.C.

     I was a finance consultant years ago and used to get a 10% commission for collecting or raising money  that others could not. Only I am not really interested in this money for myself, but for my Camelot Project which will finance all sorts of things to bless America with such as new super industries for America, new super agriculture for America by natural means and not GMO, etc., adequate water supplies for all of America, and frankly whatever else occurs to me would bless the American people and also other nations would have their economies blessed also by industries, etc. we set up and whatever else we think will benefit the future of mankind on earth.
     Lee Wanta is to be taken care of nicely financially for fighting to save this money from the crooked politicians of Wash., D.C. and their allies who wanted to pocket this $33 trillion Reagan created fund and this fund might be worth more than $33 trillion at the time we disperse these funds for worthy purposes for America. We should have around $10 trillion left (could be more or less, but this figure is likely close to reality!) and we spit it equally between all Americans 18 years of age or older, but not split with illegal immigrants or those out to destroy America such as Muslim terrorists in America or now getting started also in Canada.  10 trillion is a handsome amount of money to get split between all Americans who are to receive their share of this Reagan created top secret fund for the time of the Cold War. It is a lot of money for each of you if you want to take the time to do the math. It is like you hit a big lottery and tax free at least as far as federal taxes go. Understand that the latest tax  law now secretly passed without your knowledge, banks can now forbid you to get your money from your bank account under this new tax law. This is a genocide violation of the ruling of the Nuremberg War Trial of 1945-6 and the advocated punishment for this is hanging until dead from the gallows according to the Nuremberg War Trials. It was called "Crimes Against Humanity" when Nazi Germany did this before World War II.
       There is a lot more money that you have been swindled out of by leaders in Wash., D.C. and you don't know how huge is the amount you have been swindled out of using Wash., D.C. as the front to trick you with! I recover some of these separate large funds swindled from you, then I want to target first pay off all state government debts in America. That lowers your state taxes and also gives the state governments a new start in life debt free if your elected leaders can be responsible enough to keep their state governments debt free after that!
      When all the dust settles, there should be no unemployed left in America and with me and others leading to the founding of powerful new industries in America, you can have the basis for a very long term national growth of the national economy, no shortage of jobs for those wanting to work, and prosperous times for all Americans who want to work and use their talents in life. Everyone already has talents within them or else can be trained in good professional talents so good jobs and business opportunities are available for all who want it in America.
     I studied with six of the most brilliant economists of America and Europe including a German economist endorsed by Albert Einstein as teaching the only true economic science in the 20th century! One international Who's Who type organization of America and Europe once wrote me up as "The Einstein of American Economics." The politicians in Wash., D.C. love to come up with dumb ideas how to spark off super hyperinflation in America meaning if you let them go far enough with hyperinflation, in the end you might as well use your money for wallpaper as what it can buy then is a joke created by corrupt and dumb politicians. I am a professional in economics. The politicians are a joke in economics. When politicians say raise wages to $15 per hour minimum and $1 hamburgers now cost you $4 instead of $1 if this is done, then the alleged wage increase can make your $15 minimum wage increase now buy you less for a work week than your prior $7 or $8 per hour in a job entry position in national employment. I spent eleven calendar years in military academies and once back then would buy first class stamps for 4 cents each. Now they cost 49 cents each which is more than 12 times more expensive in money than when I bought them on a cadet's weekly allowance back then.
     I have tricks as an economist which politicians are basically ignorant of. I don't tolerate inflation to eat away at and ruin the incomes of Americans. I keep improving the purchasing power of what money you earn or make in business so you can get richer in America all the time if you want to. You let me eliminate most or all taxes in America and I have given you a giant pay increase by national economic policy instead of your employer giving you a pay increase from his side. Not saying that he can't, but that decision is between him and you what official wage you work at for him. If the nation's economy is booming, then you can walk away from any job for a better job if your employer does not pay you right or give you benefits with your job that you expect or want with the job! The biggest worker right in America is a booming economy. Then every employer in America is ready to court you to join with him when there are potentially more jobs than available workers in America. Henry Ford once said which I agree with, "The national market of the nation consists of the wages of the working people of America."
     Pass my Omni Law now shown on my national website and one of our first targets in America will be to eliminate the need for most or all of taxes in America based upon income. That is a giant increase in wages and business has a bigger national market to now sell to. The original idea behind economic science was to find the best ways to manage a national economy so the workers and businesses are blessed to the maximum efficiency the nation is capable of. I am a strong free enterprise economist. Obama is an out and out Marxist socialist and his economics stink for America! Also, he is such a hero to the Democratic leaders because they are also Marxist socialists in convictions and very sour on free enterprise which they do not understand as an economic system.
     If the Democrats are again going to use their dirty tricks to switch votes from the Republican side to the Democratic side such as just happened this week in Cook County, Illinois, where a Republican candidate suddenly saw his vote for himself electronically switched to his Democratic rival and vote for other Republican candidates also switched to the Democratic side, under the Omni Law, we will treat such acts as acts of high treason and genocide conspiracy against the American people and put on trial with those charges officials and personnel of any side trying to falsify votes to the other side in national elections. If convicted, they can then face even potential lifetime imprisonment or else capital punishment for such acts as this repudiates the entire elective system of America for constitutional government if tolerated. Also, any business sources regardless of party aiding in such corrupt voting practices in America if once spotted can then also be put on trial for high treason and genocide conspiracy against the American people. This policy is already lawful under the U.S. Constitution and so this policy will also apply to this November, 2014 election even if the Omni Law is not passed until later. This will be put up to national referendum to become the law of America under the Omni Law, but I am confident that the people will support this by national vote of referendum once proposed to them. A quick fix this election. Give everyone a paper printout of how they voted before they submit their final vote and have them keep it after initialing the voter's paper slip. If the vote is questioned, bring in the paper voting slips and count them against the falsified claimed vote. If voter fraud is caught, call in the grand juries and criminally indict those guilty of high treason and genocide conspiracy by attempted voter fraud of changing votes cast in the election.
     Politics is won by strategy, not by dumb, naive moves. I spent eleven calendar years in military academies and learned well how to set up military strategies for victory which would also apply to national politics if necessary. Some previous national reports of mine showed some of the legal actions I can bring against members of Congress not deciding to back my proposed Omni Law. Only passage of my Omni Law can keep members of Congress safe from such as when I discussed how to sue members of Congress for even $500 trillion in damages. I have won legal upsets before, so not smart to underestimate me in legal strategies. I once beat in state court a Jewish lawyer who had never lost in any state court until facing me. When he lost, two lawyers sitting in the back of the courtroom grinned as I passed them and gave me a V for victory sign. I bet they had lost to him and were pleased that he got beat  for once in his life in court!
     Okay folks, time is short. Copy and paste this report into an email copy you can send out all over America. Blanket America like a spark lighting a giant forest fire in a strong wind and move fast. The full name of our Omni Law on our website is The Omnibus Civil Rights Act For America. It basically sets up 10 legal trustees over Wash., D.C. which can investigate Congress, federal agencies, etc. when they break the law such as the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Bill of Rights, call for grand juries to investigate and prosecute them, and call for national referendums for the people instead of a corrupt Congress trying to outwit the people and refuse to carry out the will of the American people. The people vote in national referendum whether to pass or reject any law or policy for the national government when it tries to revolt against the people and be their master instead of their servant in government. James Madison, "Father of the U.S. Constitution" and "Father of the U.S. Bill of Rights" endorsed this as the smartest idea of ancient man to protect his freedom from tyrannical government and to force the government to be his servant instead of intended master. The ancient name for this concept was the 10 Civil Tribunes of Rome. It kept the Roman Republic honest for centuries until the corrupt could figure out how to get rid of this control of the people over government wanting to become corrupt and disloyal to the people. As Thomas Jefferson once commented, the people cannot remain free and ignorant at the same time.

Read Nesara News (www.nesaranews.blogspot.com) for current reports showing Obama set up this Ebola Crisis for America and other nations. Being good at military intelligence, I located where the federal government found the total cure to this Ebola virus maybe around 12-15 years ago and so this entire Ebola Crisis is a giant fraud and hoax of Obama who needs to be immediately yanked from the White House to stop this Ebola Crisis that he created. And his new Ebola czar apparently just commented that the most pressing problem is getting rid of overpopulation in the world. Guess the Ebola Crisis solves that problem for him!
     Pass this report around, talk it up, and figure every way you can get this message out before the November election!
      Yours For God And Country, Erasmus Of America (pen name for that American leader who believes in the old policy of Erasmus of the time of Martin Luther to reform what is wrong in Christianity, but don't divide and destroy Christian civilization as that goes too far and is no longer good! A national economic study around 1987 concluded that American labor would make around one trillion more dollars per year in wages if prayer and the Bible had not been outlawed from the schools by decree of the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, that would be a trillion dollar bigger market for business to sell to but who wants all that prosperity for America when America wants to divorce itself from God and get financially burned by national poverty in the process? And the Bible taught that your judges you appointed nationally were to rule by the justice of God taught in the Bible or else later answer to God for trying to outlaw God from the nation ruled over by them. It is not a free ride economically to try and rule America by paganism and Marxist socialism instead of by the standards of the Bible which invented the free enterprise system in America on the two Bible standards of the God-given right to contract and the God-given right to property from which free enterprise was born and made America the richest nation in human history! And Jesus Money taught in the New Testament but censored from your schools that four times in history created the most prosperous societies in all of human history where poverty was eliminated and basically everyone became rich through Christian economics. For example, when blessing France for 100 years, the men only worked 6 hours a day 4 days a week and the wives stayed home to raise their children. They were now rich and did not need to work more hours a week than this! The bankers overthrew Jesus Money and then censored your school education so they could keep you poor and controlled by them so long as you never learned how Jesus Money worked and so spectacularly in history when used! The bankers control you by forbidding you to learn in school how to become super prosperous in a nation through Bible economics which four times in history worked so incredibly wonderful for mankind until overthrown by the bankers four times in history. It is a shame that the churches are paying only attention to the hereafter and not also to this life on earth as they do not know that the Bible also offers powerful answers needed now by mankind in economics, in health, and other fields important to mankind while still on earth! As the Bible teaches, if man will seriously be loyal to God on earth, then God will also bless mankind while on earth and not just in Heaven afterwards! Only rebels against God on earth allowed to rule the people remove the blessings of God intended for all of mankind.)

China launches new World Bank rival
Posted by BaNDiTo.RoX on October 24, 2014 at 11:10am

Published time: October 24, 2014 12:09 Get short URL

Beijing has launched the $100 billion Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Australia, Indonesia and South Korea were absent following hidden pressure from Washington concerned about the new challenge to the World Bank and Asian Development Bank.

The memorandum of understanding was signed on Friday in Beijing. The development bank was proposed a year ago by Chinese President Xi Jinping, and is to offer financing for infrastructure projects in underdeveloped Asian countries. The bank is headquartered in Beijing and Chinese banker Jin Liqun, the ex-chairman of the investment bank China International Capital Corp, is expected to take a leading role.

The bank will be operational by next year and will initially be capitalized with $50 billion, most of it contributed by China. The country is planning to increase authorized capital to $100 billion. With that amount the AIIB would be two-thirds the size of the $175 billion Asian Development Bank.

Twenty more Asian countries became bank members. India is the only major world economy to join the AIIB initiative, and will be second largest shareholder of the bank after China. Among other countries participating in the project are Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Nepal, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and all the countries of the Association of Southeast Asia, except Indonesia.

Australia, Indonesia and South Korea were absent from the ceremony as the United States said it had concerns about the new rival to Western-dominated multilateral lenders. Japan, China's main rival in Asia, which dominates the Asian Development Bank along with the United States, was also absent, but it was not expected to attend.

Indonesia refused to participate in the project at this stage, saying that the new government has not yet had time to discuss China’s proposal.

The Australian Financial Review said US Secretary of State John Kerry had personally asked Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to “steer clear” from joining AIIB, the Financial Review reports.

"Australia has been under pressure from the US for some time to not become a founding member of the bank and it is understood Mr. Kerry put the case directly to the prime minister when the pair met in Jakarta on Monday following the inauguration of Indonesian President Joko Widodo," the paper said.

South Korea, one of America’s closest allies in Asia, is giving more thought to participating in the bank. Last week its finance ministry said it spoke with China to request more time to consider such details as the AIIB's governance and operational principles.

US officials have said they do not want to support an initiative Washington thinks is unlikely to promote good environmental, procurement and human rights standards in the way the World Bank and ADB are required to do.

But Chinese officials are convinced the American opposition is an attempt to contain the global rise of China and its ambition to remain the dominant power in Asia.

“You could think of this as a basketball game in which the US wants to set the duration of the game, the size of the court, the height of the basket and everything else to suit itself,” Wei Jianguo, a former Chinese commerce minister, told the Financial Times

Matthew Goodman, scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC believes the initiatives of a BRICS Bank and AIIB “represent the first serious institutional challenge to the global economic order.”

Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei said the AIIB will set high standard and feasible safeguard policies and improve some of the bureaucratic, unrealistic and irrelevant policies, according to the Xinhua news agency.

Most Dinarians will not net over a million. The Dinarian whales who are planning "do good " projects are not a threat as there will still be enough poverty out there for PTB to exploit. We don't own banks or the major industries that currently shift the markets, therefore i believe they consider us fairly insignificant.

I think it's more about these other countries having increased purchasing power.and the overall global monetary shift away from the West and this is one area where they can wield some power.

The Wisdom Of Our Ancestors: -- That's The Main Thing Many Preppers Don't Seem To Stock Up On....

Think .... and then do..
When the great depression hit in the 1930’s, many people had a difficult time surviving. When the system they depended on ceased to function properly, they no longer had the ability to earn a living wage and care for their families. Even at a time when you could get a meal for a nickel, many people struggled to feed themselves.
In many rural areas, farmers faced the difficulty of being able to even grow enough to feed themselves. The drought that accompanied the depression left many no choice but to move to more hospitable locations where jobs could be found.
Some people were in a much better position to weather the national problems than others. They were not rich in monetary terms but they had a stable living condition that enabled them to get by as always.
In the rural community that my family had called home for over 100 years, my family got by better than most. The fact that many of the people were watermen, that made their living on the Chesapeake Bay catching various types of seafood throughout the year, made the depression different for them. As my father related to me, they really didn’t know there was a depression going on most of the time.
The men went to work every morning catching what they could. Anything they couldn’t sell was taken home for dinner. Everyone had a garden and maybe some chickens and a hog out back providing meat for the winter. The area was also surrounded by many small farms producing many things they could trade for. Nobody had much money but the area teemed with the things that were needed to get by and barter was the norm.
Electricity was not seen in the community until the late 1940’s and few people had a car. These people really did live off the grid. That was the norm for them and they got by very well even with the national economy in a state of hard times. They could not buy many of the things they needed so those things had to be made out of whatever materials they had.
There are many stories like this that have been told and they are worth listening to once again. These stories provide the foundation people will need when the economy fails again in spectacular fashion leaving many in dire straits. When everything fails you have to go back to what works. That is a lesson that our ancestors have left for us to follow if we have the sense to learn from their hardships.
The current generation has known nothing but excess and prosperity. When the system turns down again they will be lost without all of the creature comforts and gadgets they are used to getting with great ease. They have been raised with the notion that everything is easy and when that paradigm fails they will not know how to cope with reality. This is the problem we face and must deal with in the months to come.
There are two lessons that can be taken from this story. When hard times come your location and creativity can make up for many shortfalls in life. Those things can make the difference between suffering and having a decent standard of living. Living in an area rich with resources allows you to produce many of the things you need locally with little money and can even provide you with a stream of income. The lack of resources in your area can make things very difficult over the long term.
The current generation has lost the ability to trouble shoot the problems they are faced with and come up with simple solutions. Creativity is something many people no longer possess and that is one of the things that will make life hard on them. The greatest generation knew how to devise creative solutions to their problems that allowed them to get by and even prosper. That is a lesson we need to take away from the last depression.
It is good for people to plan for hard times by stocking up, learning to produce food and storing real money for times of need but that will not be enough when the time comes. Your location and the ability to be creative and solve the many problems you will face will be necessary ingredients to surviving the coming hard times. Keeping your plans simple and learning the ways of our grandparents will help in ways we cannot even contemplate at this time but their wisdom will be as critical as your other supplies. One of the many slogans that came from that time is worth remembering.
You will have four choices: Make do, do without, use it up, wear it out.
