Why Convicted Felon 's Don 't/Won 't Have to Register Their [Illegal] Firearms

Why Convicted Felon 's Don 't/Won 't Have to Register Their [Illegal] Firearms

U.S. Supreme Court's 1968 Haynes v. U.S. decision:

Haynes, a convicted felon, was convicted of unlawful possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun.  He argued that for a convicted felon to register a gun was effectively an announcement to the government that he was breaking the law and that registration violated his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

The court, by an 8 - 1 margin, agreed, concluding: "We hold that a proper claim of the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination provides a full defense to prosecutions either for failure to register a firearm…or for possession of an unregistered firearm." (Summary from American Rifleman, March 2000, page 20)

So, when these gun registration schemes are announced, be aware that only lawful gun-owners are required to register their firearms. Unlawful owners are exempted from registration laws due to their constitutional protection against self-incrimination.

Amazing but true…

SIGN THE PETITION, TO SAVE THE BEE'S 24 HR

(*) Wow! 500,000 signers in just 24 hours.

Sign and share this -- let's reach 2 million before tomorrow's key meeting!

Four EU countries have begun banning these poisons, and some bee populations are already recovering. Days ago the official European food safety watchdog stated for the first time that certain pesticides are fatally harming bees. Now legal experts and European politicians are calling for an immediate ban. But Bayer and other giant pesticide producers are lobbying hard to keep them on the market. If we build a huge swarm of public outrage now, we can push the European Commission to put our health and our environment before the profit of a few.

'Better Than Cash Alliance' Backed by Bill Gates to Usher in a 'Cashless Society'

'Better Than Cash Alliance' Backed by Bill Gates to Usher in a 'Cashless Society'

Posted By: RumorMail [Send E-Mail]

The Better Than Cash Alliance founding members and financiers boasts of a list of organizations that have their own sordid histories from the distant past all the way back to present times. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is instrumental in population reduction initiatives via vaccination programs, abortion and sterilization, and other programs; Citi, the major international bank who was intricately involved in the 2008 derivatives crisis; the Ford Foundation, representatives of which actually stated to Reece Commission Chief Investigator Norman Dodd that the goal of the foundation was to comfortably merge the United States with the Soviet Union; Omidyar Network; and VISA Inc. which has long been interested in creating a cashless society. Yet the Better Than Cash Alliance has more than just corporate and private sector sponsors as one of the key founding members and financiers is, in fact, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a “government” agency that answers directly to the U.S. Secretary of State. It has been understood for some time that USAID is nothing more than CIA front operation for intelligence gathering and as a facilitation mechanism for the CIA funding of foreign governments and organizations. In addition, the Better Than Cash Alliance founder and financier roster contains the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), the UN’s “capital investment agency” reserved for use with the “least developed” nations. The Better Than Cash Alliance also boasts of participation by the World Food Programme, Mercy Corps, Concern Worldwide, and CARE. The governments listed as taking part in the alliance are the governments of Afghanistan, Department of Social Prosperity of the Government of Colombia, Republic of Kenya, Republic of Peru, and Republic of the Philippines. Yet, even without the establishment of the Better Than Cash Alliance or the recent comments by Bill Gates, it is very clear that the world is moving in the direction of an entirely cashless society. I, myself, have written many articles on this issue. Unfortunately, what is being introduced as a method of convenience and upward social mobility will soon give way to mandates and eradication of choice. The creation of the Better Than Cash Alliance and the international push for digital transactions is one more step toward the ultimate goal of the Cashless Society and the requirement that even the most personal individual information such as iris scans, fingerprints, vein scans, facial photographs, and even DNA swabs be surrendered for the purpose of data security.

The Armored Car Driver; "Joe, the new currency is coming.."

Posted By: Jordon [Send E-Mail]
Date: Thursday, 31-Jan-2013 06:10:57

. Received via email from Dragon ~Jordon ~~~~~~~~~ The Armored Car Driver; State of The Union Report... Dragon's note: This conversation took place on the 29th day of December. I filed it for release at a later date, as I did not want to post it during the holiday season. Plus, I wanted to wait and see if I needed to add anything to it if events warranted. Or subtract. I've done neither. This is the conversation as it was transcribed. What is notable is the change of hot topics. Petraeus, the attempted coup, all that stuff that was so 'front burner' back in December is a dim, distant memory now. It is now a month later and new hot topics occupy the minds of the proletarians. The President's State of The Union address is scheduled for 2 weeks from today, the 12th of February. Abraham Lincoln's birthday, it is. Coincidence? Don't bet on it. Normally the President's State of The Union message is delivered in January. I think he delayed this one so as to give the Republicans more time to discredit themselves. +++ "Let's connect a few dots." That's what I said to Joe as the conversation got around to politics and world events. Shop talk, in other words. Joe and I were sitting in my office. The cocoa was warm, the atmosphere was end-of-the-year relaxed. January is almost upon us. January. Named after the Roman god Janus, he who looked backward and forward at the same time. Janus was the god of beginnings and endings and transitions. Joe and I were getting into the spirit of the season. Our conversation had turned to a year-end review and a speculative look at what next year might bring. Joe, for those of you who tuned in late, is the driver of the armored car that comes by to pick up Z-Force Group's receipts every Monday and Thursday. "So connect me up some dots, Dragon. And how's this for an idea? Let's do a State of The Union message for all the rest of the force who could not be here right now. I mean, the president does it every year. Why should he get all the glory and fame?" Joe was grinning widely at the thought. I grinned back at him and kept the mood going. "Do you think I could get on national TV with my State of The Union message?" Joe was laughing out loud now. "Yeah. And upstage the president!" "It is a good idea, though," I said to Joe. "Some of our operatives have not been back to headquarters in years. Some of them have never been here. And now, all of them, you and I included, are kind of at a loss as to what is the next mission for Z-Force Group now that powerful but unseen forces have taken an active role in cleaning up the earth and guiding its future." "Adjusting to civilian life is what we have to do now," Joe said. "And I'm still working on that." I told him that I am, too, and then we got into discussing this State of The Union idea. I told Joe that it was a good idea, but the hard part is finding a place to start. The president will go over the statistics on job growth and ending wars and stuff like that, but the real state of the union is not something you can objectify with statistics, I told Joe, and then took a sip of hot cocoa. Joe added this while I was sipping cocoa: "It's the unseen forces that shape world events, that change a nation's destiny. On the surface we see everything from job creation numbers to mass murders. This is surface reality. Surface reality, though, is a product of what Dooley Wilson sang about in Casablanca. 'It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory'........" ".....a case of do or die". I finished it for him. "There's so much going right with this country now, Joe. But it's all built on a foundation of lies and corruption and evil that goes back centuries, even beyond the centuries of this country's existence. For all the centuries of the existence of Western Civilization, and that ain't where it began but we'll stop counting at that point. "Clean-up is underway," I said. "All that messy, smelly history is being brought to the surface to be dealt with. Well, not all of it. Some of it is very public. Some of it, the most dangerous parts of it, that battle goes beneath the surface while the public lives out the drama of the fiscal cliff, or whatever the distraction du jour happens to be. And if we're going to do a State of The Union message for our operatives in the field, I think what we need to tell them, we need to tell them of the behind-the-scenes struggles that are going on right now." "You mean like what's happening with the CIA?" "That's one of the areas of conflict. A bit of history here. The CIA was something created by Harry Truman because he didn't trust the military's intelligence reports. Wasn't long before the CIA became an autonomous body, doing some work for the benefit of the country, but even more for the benefit of their corporate masters. And, as if that wasn't enough, they took to making money for themselves by dealing in guns and drugs. That story is well known and goes back at least to the Reagan years when it became public knowledge. It would take Ken Burns fifty years to make documentary films of the coups and assassinations they've staged. There have been that many of them. Not to mention the Dealey Plaza event." "The CIA is being cleaned up?" Joe asked. "Yes, but it is being done quietly. Clandestinely, I guess is the word. An appropriate way to dissolve or neutralize a clandestine outfit. Let's take it as a fact that Petraeus was sent to the CIA to get him out of the way so he would not be in a position to challenge Obama for the presidency. And the death of Osama Bin Laden, of course that was a staged event. Osama has been dead for years, but he was still alive in myth, press releases, and video messages. Obama had to officially dispatch him before Petraeus did so that Petraeus would not have that as a heroic deed to point to when he ran for president. He wanted to be another military hero president, like Eisenhower. Let's also take judicial notice, as they say in lawyer-speak, that he, Petraeus, is one of the ones involved in the planned military coup. Petraeus is gone from the CIA now." "Replaced by Panetta", Joe offered. "Right. Panetta started the clean-up right away. MaryK told me that Panetta looks like a consigliere. I only am aware of some of what he has done. The clean-up process has definitely begun, though." "But there's more", Joe prompted. "Lots more. Here's what I'm thinking, and it's going to be hard to put into a State of The Union message to all our operatives. Mainly because I'm detecting what appears to be sub-surface battles and only a few of the participants in the battle can be identified. Even then, it's like having a theory and then you go looking for evidence to support that theory. But in the real world...." Joe finished the thought for me. "In the real world, one gathers the evidence and then formulates a theory that explains it. But in this case, it's different. It's different because we know that even on the surface, there is a clean-up going on. The navy has fired 25 commanders this year. 25! Is that unprecedented?" "Exactly. A very good case in point. Even with those 25 guys, there was a cover story. And then the whole thing was dropped. There was a cover story, but in many, maybe even most of those cases, those were men who were involved in the planned military coup. So someone leaked it, or someone discovered it. And now there's housecleaning going on. And everything is connected to everything else." "Which means", Joe said, "that there is a connection to the CIA, or at least the renegade elements in the CIA. There is a substantial body of powerful and influential people who stand to lose a lot if Obama's agenda is made manifest. If they are not active participants, they won't stand in the way of those who are. I think that Obama may be in the same situation as was JFK. There were lots and lots of people who didn't like him, but didn't have the nerve or the muscle to knock him off. Someone did, and they all rejoiced and maximized the opportunity that his death presented. And now Obama has irritated and threatened a similarly large and powerful group. How big is this group? Does it reach outside our borders?" "All the way to Israel", I told him. "The Israeli mafia and the Russian mafia have made common cause. They wish to see Obama disappear, or maybe sleep with the fishes. I'm guessing that the military came up with the plan for a coup, and then they went trolling for support in the outer world. They were probably surprised at how much support they got. That may have led them to become over-confident and careless. So "Plan A", the military coup, failed. There is no "Plan B" because there are too many interested parties with big egos and big money involved. The military coup would have been a total take-over of the government, with no need to consider constitutional laws about succession. If they remove Obama, then there's Joe Biden. He may be Knights of Malta as I'm told, but he's not a leader that the country can rally around. "So without a coherent and workable plan, the separate factions are taking out their frustration in their own ways. Bibi, or his associates, are the ones behind the school and movie theatre massacres. There is evidence to support that working hypothesis. Veterans Today has run a series of stories on that subject. Bibi's best hope now is to destroy Obama's legacy and prevent him from moving forward with his legislative agenda. That could be done by getting him bogged down in gun control issues. That, and the so-called "fiscal cliff". Drag that thing out for as long as possible.The ambushed firemen and policeman, they may be copycat crimes done by those who wish to keep the anti-gun movement going." "The banks", Joe said. "Don't forget the banks." "They're part of the problem, too, and they'll be dealt with when the new currency gets put in place. Last we heard, the target date for that was February, but that is a moveable target. It's the clean-up efforts below the surface that I'd focus on in a State of The Union message to all our operatives." "Like as in.....?", Joe's left eyebrow went up. "I have not identified all the behind-the-scenes operatives. Perhaps I never shall. Let's call Julian Assange of Wikileaks one of them. Julian and Wikileaks have been around for a while. Couple of years, maybe? I dunno. In the beginning, he got a lot of attention in the press. That established Wikileaks as a brand name. Their targets were big name targets, enough to establish their credibility as hackers and their bona fides as "hackers of the people", if I can use that phrase. Simply stated, their manufactured image was one of practically unlimited ability and power, anonymity, and antagonism toward the Established Powers." I had to pause to refill my cocoa cup. Joe was thinking out loud, and said: "It does begin to look like an op. There was a continuing drama with threats of deportation. Then Assange holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy for a while. This got him more attention, more sympathy from the public. Now he's out, and he may be running for public office in Australia. But what's the mission, what's the point, of building up Wiki and Assange as formidable hackers? What's the payoff? The material they leaked from secret US files was not really damaging, but it did build their reputation. I can see that this was a cover. But what's the payoff?" "I have a theory. What I'm about to say is not from my over-the-event-horizon radar. Radar does pick up some images, but they're indistinct at this point. It's a gut feeling and a theory that fits the facts. It is one potential outcome and the whole thing may have been created as a backstop in case the larger plan is unworkable." "You're talking about the banks, aren't you?" Joe asked. And I nodded yes. "Joe, the new currency is coming. Been in the works for over a year. Maybe even two years. That doesn't matter. What we are hearing is that February is the planned release date. And it won't be like it was when they simply re-designed our existing currency. This time, it's for a whole new economic system. The ones who will be affected the most are the ones who have put up the greatest resistance. This was supposed to go down smoothly, all parties in agreement. It's not working out that way. Obama wants a radical change. The Established Powers do not. So here's what I think will happen. Again, it's a gut feeling and I'm not suggesting anyone make plans according to what I'm saying. This is more an illustration of behind-the-scenes manipulation and power plays. O.K.?" "O.K." Joe refilled his cocoa cup and waited for what was to come next. "To get the bankers to agree, it may take an emergency. They will have to be made desperate. Suppose someone hacked into the banks and messed with their accounting system? I don't have to know the details of what they did when they got inside the system. It's enough to assume that whatever they did, it would make the banks non-functional, inoperable, or completely broke. In a word, compliant. Ready to be rescued, even it it meant swallowing the bitter pill of Obama's radical changes. Radical changes, as I understand it, would be nationalization." "The man's a genius, a strategic genius." Joe was admiring Obama's strategy, if the plan is implemented. "We could go on for hours about that, and fill our operatives' IN baskets with more reading than they could handle. Let's go on to the next known player, or group of players, in this beneath-the-surface power struggle. I'm talking about the web site, Veterans Today. They have been running a series of expose' features that focus on Israel, or Netanyahu, since before the election. They claim that their work had an impact on the election totals. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/11/13/press-tv-obama-saddled-with-mythology-of-911/ "Effective and influential enough to be a worthy ally in the struggle. If I was to send a State of The Union message to our operatives, I'd tell them to just monitor Veterans Today. It's likely they already do. There are others out there working for the same goals as all of us. And, as usual, we are aware of their presence but don't know who they are. It's that way with Assange and the VT crew, too. Even Obama is not aware of all the help he is getting. There is a struggle going on under the surface, and that's what I'd tell our operatives. Look at the effects, look at what is presented, then look behind the scenes for the cause. Sun Tzu's dictum is still applicable: Know your enemy. "If you don't know your enemy, then you won't know who your friends are. Your enemy will come to you in the guise of a friend. I hope Obama knows this. "State of the union? The union is in a state of problems that all need to be dealt with simultaneously and effectively. Right now. Because all this stuff is connected. There's the CIA and it's drugs and money laundering which flows to the banks who make it all possible. There's Bibi and his wrecking crew out to destroy Obama, and America too, if that's what it takes. The economic system needs to be restructured. The evangelicals, let's not leave them out. They are both cause and contributors to the problem. My radar doesn't pick up any sign of violence or war until February, or when the new currency is issued. Whether there is war or violence in our streets depends on how that situation is handled. So, that's the state of the union as seen from Z-Force Group HQ right now. Stay tuned for updates", I told Joe. Joe was silent for a long minute as his mind processed all we had discussed. "Still working on ways for us to transition to civilian life?" "Only the stuff that you and I talked about before. I'm young and restless, but the Universe doesn't care. It takes its own sweet time. There's a lot of good stuff coming, both on the world and national scene and our personal scene. But we have to wait for it to manifest. For men of action, like you and me, waiting is the hardest part." "Waiting is the hardest part", Joe echoed. And then we both fell silent for a long time and sipped our cocoa. Then the talk went around to Republicans and other wacko types. We were both in agreement that such political trash, wacko types and nut jobs have always been with us. Difference is that now the Universe has put it in our face and demands that we deal with it. "Gonna take a lot of brooms", I observed. "More and bigger brooms", was Joe's reply. Dragon

. Disclosure Now: NEW 3-HR Russian Documentary Blasts Financial Tyranny! On January 30, 2013, top Russian network REN-TV aired "Shadow Gold"--ANOTHER three-hour documentary blasting Financial Tyranny. See it here NOW, before it is officially translated! India is also picking up the Financial Tyranny investigation as well. The alliance is finally revealing itself -- and demanding justice. THE GREATEST SECRET OF MODERN HISTORY The graphic you just saw at the top of this article is what all the official, on-the-books gold in the world looks like -- if you formed it into a single cube. This was produced by Oto Godfrey as part of his ongoing efforts to illustrate Financial Tyranny with visual metaphors. Once you see it as a cube, whose edges fit comfortably into an Olympic-sized swimming pool, it's easy to have a new perspective. FOURTEEN AND A HALF CUBES Is this really all the gold that has ever been pulled out of the Earth -- worldwide -- in all of recorded human history? Apparently not. The real amount is about 14 and a half of these cubes. The total volume -- now being hidden away by the international version of the Federal Reserve, called the BIS -- is 2,420,937.4 metric tons. That's two million, 420 thousand, 937.4 tons of gold. This is, quite literally, considered the greatest secret of modern history. Not anymore. [Scroll down to the bottom for the embedded video.] WORLD WARS I AND II HAD A HIDDEN PURPOSE World Wars I and II were fake. Both sides were secretly being run by the same people -- with the same goal. Over 100 million people died -- for a completely different reason than they thought. Both sides fighting these wars -- Axis and Allies -- were owned and controlled by the same international bankers. That is the great, ugly truth we must face if we want to heal this planet. These world wars were used to plunder central banks and private holdings of their gold -- worldwide -- and turn them over to the Federal Reserve. The mass seizures of gold continued both before, during and after World War I as well. NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR USING LAUGHTER AS A COPING MECHANISM Look... I know how horrible this is. It's almost beyond imagination. About one percent of our audience -- some of whom may be paid to do this -- attack us with astonishing passion, fury and violence online. Laughter and sarcasm is not going to help us get through this. Some may decide to do this in order to avoid facing a very uncomfortable truth. Others hyper-scrutinize the data, desperately seeking to find one incorrect point -- hoping to then discredit the entire investigation. In so doing, they feel like they have vanquished the demon of Truth -- and can continue to stay in the "real world" a little longer. Nonetheless, once this truth is exposed and healed, on a worldwide level, the resulting benefits will be absolutely spectacular. Now there are six hours of prime-time documentaries -- one one of the top Russian television networks -- directly supporting our investigation. REN-TV admitted to me that Financial Tyranny was "utterly groundbreaking" -- and was the main text they used to fuel both documentaries. THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION, CREATING THE USSR IN 1917, WAS A FEDERAL RESERVE PROJECT Here is a link to a Yale University Press article on the Bolshevik gold seizures -- the top item in a current Google search for "bolshevik gold 1917." The entire Bolshevik Revolution, which formed the Soviet Union from 1917-1922, was not-so-secretly financed by the Federal Reserve bankers. The political cartoon you see below was drawn by Robert Minor, in the St. Louis Dispatch, in 1911 -- and is featured on page 211 of "The Creature from Jekyll Island." If you don't believe me, type in "bolshevik revolution federal reserve" into any Internet search engine -- and start reading More here: http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/davids-blog/1107-new-russian-doc

Largest Glacier-Calving Ever Filmed.... PRETTY AWESOME!!

This took place on the Ilulissat Glacier in Greenland. Mike and I have

camped on a small island across from a glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska. If
this had happened while we were on that island, we would not be here
today. We'd have been under water. You could turn your speakers up to
full volume and then the sound probably still can't compare to what this
must have sounded like. At the end of this short video they give a
reference to the actual size of this event.

This 3 min. video has been around before and it worth hearing again.

Every American should see this video. It has nothing to do with any political party.  It has to do with common sense.  Is there such a thing anymore? No wonder this country is in such a big mess.  Our law makers have no idea what they are voting on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svGDZOW-brA

Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings

Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings

Michael Snyder
Economic Collapse
Jan 30, 2013
Does a shadowy group of obscenely wealthy elitists control the world?  Do men and women with enormous amounts of money really run the world from behind the scenes?  The answer might surprise you.  Most of us tend to think of money as a convenient way to conduct transactions, but the truth is that it also represents power and control.  And today we live in a neo-fuedalist system in which the super rich pull all the strings.  When I am talking about the ultra-wealthy, I am not just talking about people that have a few million dollars.  As you will see later in this article, the ultra-wealthy have enough money sitting in offshore banks to buy all of the goods and services produced in the United States during the course of an entire year and still be able to pay off the entire U.S. national debt.  That is an amount of money so large that it is almost incomprehensible.  Under this ne0-feudalist system, all the rest of us are debt slaves, including our own governments.  Just look around – everyone is drowning in debt, and all of that debt is making the ultra-wealthy even wealthier.  But the ultra-wealthy don’t just sit on all of that wealth.  They use some of it to dominate the affairs of the nations.  The ultra-wealthy own virtually every major bank and every major corporation on the planet.  They use a vast network of secret societies, think tanks and charitable organizations to advance their agendas and to keep their members in line.  They control how we view the world through their ownership of the media and their dominance over our education system.  They fund the campaigns of most of our politicians and they exert a tremendous amount of influence over international organizations such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO.  When you step back and take a look at the big picture, there is little doubt about who runs the world.  It is just that most people don’t want to admit the truth.
The ultra-wealthy don’t run down and put their money in the local bank like you and I do.  Instead, they tend to stash their assets in places where they won’t be taxed such as the Cayman Islands.  According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe.
U.S. GDP for 2011 was about 15 trillion dollars, and the U.S. national debt is sitting at about 16 trillion dollars, so you could add them both together and you still wouldn’t hit 32 trillion dollars.
And of course that does not even count the money that is stashed in other locations that the study did not account for, and it does not count all of the wealth that the global elite have in hard assets such as real estate, precious metals, art, yachts, etc.
The global elite have really hoarded an incredible amount of wealth in these troubled times.  The following is from an article on the Huffington Post website…
Rich individuals and their families have as much as $32 trillion of hidden financial assets in offshore tax havens, representing up to $280 billion in lost income tax revenues, according to research published on Sunday.
The study estimating the extent of global private financial wealth held in offshore accounts – excluding non-financial assets such as real estate, gold, yachts and racehorses – puts the sum at between $21 and $32 trillion.
The research was carried out for pressure group Tax Justice Network, which campaigns against tax havens, by James Henry, former chief economist at consultants McKinsey & Co.
He used data from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, United Nations and central banks.
But as I mentioned previously, the global elite just don’t have a lot of money.  They also basically own just about every major bank and every major corporation on the entire planet.
According to an outstanding NewScientist article, a study of more than 40,000 transnational corporations conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich discovered that a very small core group of huge banks and giant predator corporations dominate the entire global economic system…
An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.
The researchers found that this core group consists of just 147 very tightly knit companies…
When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
The following are the top 25 banks and corporations at the heart of this “super-entity”.  You will recognize many of the names on the list…
1. Barclays plc
2. Capital Group Companies Inc
3. FMR Corporation
4. AXA
5. State Street Corporation
6. JP Morgan Chase & Co
7. Legal & General Group plc
8. Vanguard Group Inc
9. UBS AG
10. Merrill Lynch & Co Inc
11. Wellington Management Co LLP
12. Deutsche Bank AG
13. Franklin Resources Inc
14. Credit Suisse Group
15. Walton Enterprises LLC
16. Bank of New York Mellon Corp
17. Natixis
18. Goldman Sachs Group Inc
19. T Rowe Price Group Inc
20. Legg Mason Inc
21. Morgan Stanley
22. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc
23. Northern Trust Corporation
24. Société Générale
25. Bank of America Corporation
The ultra-wealthy elite often hide behind layers and layers of ownership, but the truth is that thanks to interlocking corporate relationships, the elite basically control almost every Fortune 500 corporation.
The amount of power and control that this gives them is hard to describe.
Unfortunately, this same group of people have been running things for a very long time.  For example, New York City Mayor John F. Hylan said the following during a speech all the way back in 1922…
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.
They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.
These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.
These international bankers created the central banks of the world (including the Federal Reserve), and they use those central banks to get the governments of the world ensnared in endless cycles of debtfrom which there is no escape.  Government debt is a way to “legitimately” take money from all of us, transfer it to the government, and then transfer it into the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.
Today, Barack Obama and almost all members of Congress absolutely refuse to criticize the Fed, but in the past there have been some brave members of Congress that have been willing to take a stand.  For example, the following quote is from a speech that Congressman Louis T. McFadden delivered to the U.S. House of Representatives on June 10, 1932…
Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board has cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.
Sadly, most Americans still believe that the Federal Reserve is a “federal agency”, but that is simply not correct.  The following comes from factcheck.org…
The stockholders in the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks are the privately owned banks that fall under the Federal Reserve System. These include all national banks (chartered by the federal government) and those state-chartered banks that wish to join and meet certain requirements. About 38 percent of the nation’s more than 8,000 banks are members of the system, and thus own the Fed banks.
According to researchers that have looked into the ownership of the big Wall Street banks that dominate the Fed, the same names keep coming up over and over: the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Lazards, the Schiffs and the royal families of Europe.
But ultra-wealthy international bankers have not just done this kind of thing in the United States.  Their goal was to create a global financial system that they would dominate and control.  Just check out what Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley once wrote…
[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.
Sadly, most Americans have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is at the very heart of the global financial system.  The following is from Wikipedia…
As an organization of central banks, the BIS seeks to make monetary policy more predictable and transparent among its 58 member central banks. While monetary policy is determined by each sovereign nation, it is subject to central and private banking scrutiny and potentially to speculation that affects foreign exchange rates and especially the fate of export economies. Failures to keep monetary policy in line with reality and make monetary reforms in time, preferably as a simultaneous policy among all 58 member banks and also involving the International Monetary Fund, have historically led to losses in the billions as banks try to maintain a policy using open market methods that have proven to be based on unrealistic assumptions.
The ultra-wealthy have also played a major role in establishing other important international institutions such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO.  In fact, the land for the United Nations headquarters in New York City was purchased and donated by John D. Rockefeller.
The international bankers are “internationalists” and they are very proud of that fact.
The elite also dominate the education system in the United States.  Over the years, the Rockefeller Foundation and other elitist organizations have poured massive amounts of money into Ivy League schools.  Today, Ivy League schools are considered to be the standard against which all other colleges and universities in America are measured, and the last four U.S. presidents were educated at Ivy League schools.
The elite also exert a tremendous amount of influence through various secret societies (Skull and Bones, the Freemasons, etc.), through some very powerful think tanks and social clubs (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, Chatham House, etc.), and through a vast network of charities and non-governmental organizations (the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund, etc.).
But for a moment, I want to focus on the power the elite have over the media.  In a previous article, I detailed how just six monolithic corporate giants control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day.  These giant corporations own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites.
Considering the fact that the average American watches 153 hours of television a month, the influence of these six giant corporations should not be underestimated.  The following are just some of the media companies that these corporate giants own…

And of course the elite own most of our politicians as well.  The following is a quote from journalist Lewis Lapham…
“The shaping of the will of Congress and the choosing of the American president has become a privilege reserved to the country’s equestrian classes, a.k.a. the 20% of the population that holds 93% of the wealth, the happy few who run the corporations and the banks, own and operate the news and entertainment media, compose the laws and govern the universities, control the philanthropic foundations, the policy institutes, the casinos, and the sports arenas.”
Have you ever wondered why things never seem to change in Washington D.C. no matter who we vote for?
Well, it is because both parties are owned by the establishment.
It would be nice to think that the American people are in control of who runs things in the U.S., but that is not how it works in the real world.
In the real world, the politician that raises more money wins more than 80 percent of the time in national races.
Our politicians are not stupid – they are going to be very good to the people that can give them the giant piles of money that they need for their campaigns.  And the people that can do that are the ultra-wealthy and the giant corporations that the ultra-wealthy control.
Are you starting to get the picture?
There is a reason why the ultra-wealthy are referred to as “the establishment”.  They have set up a system that greatly benefits them and that allows them to pull the strings.
So who runs the world?
They do.  In fact, they even admit as much.
David Rockefeller wrote the following in his 2003 book entitled “Memoirs”…
“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
There is so much more that could be said about all of this.  In fact, an entire library of books could be written about the power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy international bankers that run the world.
But hopefully this is enough to at least get some conversations started.

Been seeing black helicopters overhead? Uniformed troops with guns drawn? Armored vehicles cruising through your residential neighborhood?

Worry not; it’s just the U.S. military’s Special Operations Command doing “realistic urban training” for military maneuvers on site in cities across the United States because that’s what they need to be able to do, according to the military.

One of the reports that has come up in just the past few days came from Miami.

There, the Herald reported military helicopters were “buzzing” neighborhoods.

It was similar to April 2011, the report said, when military helicopters “buzzed through Brickell, leading to sleepless nights for some people and a lot of griping on social media about it.”

And KTRK in Houston reported the sound of gunfire and the helicopters overhead “created a lot of concern Monday afternoon in one Houston neighborhood.”

According to the station’s report, “With military helicopters flying above her southeast Houston neighborhood, Frances Jerrals didn’t know what to think.

“‘When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst,’ Jerrals said.”

The report said the Army “took over the old Carnegie Vanguard High School. … There were armed men in fatigues, plenty of weapons and what many though were real live rounds.”

The events have a history of causing alarm.

During a recent drill in Miami, “A photographer … captured video of a military helicopter firing its machine guns as it flew over an area freeway. The chopper was firing blanks, but an artist visiting the city didn’t know.”

“‘I heard the machine gun fire and then I hit the deck … I didn’t know what to expect, and it was one of the loudest things I’d ever heard,’ Josh Epperson said,” according to the report.

Army spokesman Michael Noggle told WND that the military considers the drills routine, and it’s the responsibility of local authorities who give the military permission to stage practice assaults to notify their residents.

“These are standard training exercises known [as] realistic urban training conducted by units from United States Special Operations Command,” he said.

He continued, “The purpose of the realistic urban training is to give our Special Operators an opportunity to hone their skills in a controlled, but unfamiliar, realistic urban environment that cannot be replicated with the bare-boned facades found on military installation ranges.”

He said the Special Operations teams want to train away from their home bases because they know the layout there, maybe too well to make training effective.

“Though we have excellent training areas on military installations, it is impossible to replicate what a real urban environment offers,” Noggle said. “It is important for our military members to train in a variety of different locations and unfamiliar environments to prepare for combat overseas. This city provides a great opportunity to capitalize on the unfamiliarity of a large, urban environment and has worked well so far, thanks in large part to the cooperation of the mayor’s office and local law enforcement.”

He said people really shouldn’t be alarmed, because the military works with local authorities, who are supposed to notify their own residents if they want to.

“There is a very detailed DOD realistic urban training approval process that USSOCOM complies before conducting any training outside of a military installation,” Noggle told WND. “Foremost is notifying (and gaining permission from) the local law enforcement as well as local government officials. It is left to the discretion of the local law enforcement and government officials to notify the general public of military training.”

But when that fails, and people are alarmed, he said, it’s not the military’s fault.

“I think it is important to note that these training exercises are in coordination with local law enforcement officials,” he said. “We work very hard to inform and protect the local population, our interface is through the local authorities. We were invited by the cities to conduct joint training exercises to enhance the effectiveness of both services in order to better protect the residents.

“The Army sincerely appreciates the cooperation that we receive from the local residents and businesses in the vicinity of theses training exercises; we regret that this caused concern and angst amongst some residents.”

A CBS outlet in Chicago reported that a local “drill” also was being planned in a public school, this time by the local Gary Grove police department.

Cary Grove High School principal Jay Sargeant said the event would include “shooting blanks from a gun.”

That’s to condition teachers and students to the sound of gunfire, the report said.

The logic escaped some parents, the station said.

“If you need to run a drill, you run a drill,” parent Sharon Miller told WBBM. “They run fire drills all the time, but they don’t run up and down the hallway with a flamethrower.”

But writers at the Infowars.com site noted an alarming development.

“A decade ago, ‘black helicopters’ were fantasy according to the official account, and a favorite among conspiracy theorists. Today, it’s just an everyday occurrence, while the plans to ‘resettle’ the American people, or at least its dissidents, in concentration camps is officially on the books.”

The commentary linked to another site that has posted a 2010 report from the Army called “Internment and Resettlement Operations.”

“The public is being conditioned to give up its own defenses, in the way of 2nd Amendment infringements, all while being repeatedly trained to accept a constant police-military presence in its major cities…” the commentary said.

WND carried a report earlier when there were military “exercises” in Minneapolis. Records clerk Melissa Hill said, “To me it’s really frightening. Military copters flying around in our airspace in an urban setting – it kind of conditions people to accept a police state.”
