CASPER UPDATE - JANUARY 18 2015
CASPER UPDATE: JANUARY 18, 2015
CAUTION!!!! READ WITH DISCERNMENT!!!!
Wendy has kept us (WE) informed about the many request for an update. Every time we get started unfolding world events cause previous work to be dated, so WE start over. With events this week and more to come next week maybe this would be a good moment in time to slip one in. Many disjointed items today in no particular order.
To me, but not necessarily my compadre’s, the most interesting thing this past week was the post Monday night (I think) written by heretofore unknown (to us) Dr. Mount. He said The Ambassador had been charged with delivering a message to the Rothschild’s and the Committee of 300 headed by the Queen, the following morning, Tuesday I think. The message? “Obey or Die. You have 24 hours to decide”. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is an update. Within 48 hours Russia guts off gas to Europe and the Swiss de-peg from the Euro. Coincidence? I smell something but I don’t think it’s a coincidence I smell.
Many reports from the Texas Gulf Coast saying chemtrails have never been thicker or more often than the last ten days. Huge increase in number of flyovers.
White House tells ‘POLITICO’ Tuesday night State Of Union speech will not be regular fare. Will be a ‘Messaging Event’, they said. Same week world bankers and power players have annual confab in Davos. European Central Bankers Meeting in Europe same time. A huge meeting of Worlds Primary Leaders of the Muslim faith, Texas I think, next week. And Ron Paul casually throws out this red meat: “A major geopolitical or economic event is fast approaching. It will be a surprise to the majority of politicians and economists, and it will be bigger than ’08”.
Friday morning a ‘Breaking News’ headline posted and flashing at the top of the UPI (United Press International) website. “ Naval battle with China in South China sea underway now. USS George Washington damaged”. No other details were provided. Within one hour it was taken down. Censorship? Cover up? Website mistake? WE have not been able to confirm this with China Sources.
There was a lengthy statement by Putin a month ago saying ‘the U.S. will not be allowed to defang and declaw the Bear’, in which he mentioned nukes.
Several articles say ‘U.S. Law Enforcement arming up for something really really big." A newspaper publishes a picture of a newly delivered mine resistant armored vehicle to the local COLLEGE Police Department.
Another Government Bozo discusses “MMT”, Modern Monetary Theory. ‘If we all increase our money supply via Q.E. at the same time by approximately the same amount, there will be no consequences’.
SAUDI-- Fence, two actually. 100 yards apart, 600 miles long, mote in middle. Razor wire atop both. Unbelievable amount of sensors, fiber optics, etc. underground. Behind that 32 major military installations, rapid response helicopters, etc. Must be expecting a visit from the Shia’s. All of them.
FRANCE: Obama a no show. Nor Biden or Kerry or Holder who was in Paris. Spin, spin, spin goes the White House Press Secretary. Our sources say Obama demanded France guarantee his security even beyond the security in place to protect all world leaders present. Arrogance, extreme narcissism. Another ally says 'screw you' as most of the world has already done. Merkel’s phones bugged.
Financial writer says only 5 of 300 tons of promised gold actually returned by N.Y. Fed. This writer I am quoting says U.S. holding (stealing?) 4500 tons German Gold, not 300 as reported by MSM. What a shame. There would be no America were it not for France. WE hear the U.S. position is ‘War Reparations not fully repaid’. I thought things got fixed with the Marshall Plan Money provided by U.S. taxpayers. And, by the way, the documents, as told to us, calls for left over funds (M.P.) to be returned to the American people from whence it came, not to the American Government. Funds are plenty big now what with accrued interest. Just one more example of the CORPORATION blocking any and all funds to the people.
Another ‘by the way.’ When WE went to Switzerland seeking copies of the incorporation papers of the CORPORATION and an original copy of the CORPORATION’S Constitution, which replaced our original Constitution, and had been assured by phone WE would be allowed to have a copy and then learned upon arrival that the CORPORATION had ordered the Swiss National Bank not to allow us to see copies much less have copies, WE learned that it is not just money rightfully belonging to the people they are withholding but also the documents which would lay bare their lies, deceit, treachery and TREASON against their own people.
There are not two political parties, not really. There is only employees of the CORPORATION. After the tsunami of the mid-terms with nary a Democrat left standing in any State or Federal office from Texas to the Carolina's, what was the very first thing the Republicans did? They joined with Democrats to fund Obama’s Amnesty Program and Obamacare, also.
Ten or nine or eleven States held referendums in which the people overwhelmingly voted against same sex marriage. In each case it was immediately taken before a FEDERAL Judge and each of them 100%, reversed the votes of the people saying, essentially, ‘ME heap big boss, you nothing. Your vote no count in CORPORATION COURTROOM. You hush now. You mention Constitution one more time, you go to jail’.
Two parties opposing each other? Hardly, it’s just a picture show. The CORPORATION and its employees are opposing the American people. Whether chemtrail pilots, Intel agents bugging phones, Patriot Act or the militarization of the Police, Politicians representing the Corporation rather than the people or Federal Judges reversing the will of the people, all of it becomes more and more obvious every day.
Complain? Now you are a terrorist. As we have said before, Obama is a mirror image of Stalin or Hitler, take your pick. Communist or Fascist, it doesn’t matter. The outcome will be the same. Democrat or Republican, it doesn’t matter. The outcome will be the same. OUR bet has always been Communist since he was raised by them and has associated with them all his life. Sorry, didn’t mean to go so far astray.
CHINA: No change from our primary source there (Ming). They still do not know Zap. They say they of course know the one Zap refers to as ‘Grandfather’(also Ming) since he is a member of the family. This man has been identified on the net by Mr. Bellringer at www.Fourwinds10.com twice, first years ago and more recently a month or so ago (WE are avoiding discussing him by name).
Our source is very high level Ming (appointment needed to talk) and is one of the oldest of the ‘elders’. WE have been talking to this source for many many years and have been invited several times to come over and spend time with them. On three occasions we have done the unthinkable, asking them to recheck/re investigate their previous findings they shared with us regarding funding of R.V., etc. coming from the family . They have done so each time. They have always said 'no' and they continue to say 'NO'. Did I mention that they have known ‘grandfather’ since they were all in diapers together a very long time ago?
CHINA: Today WE again spoke to another high level contact in China who WE have mentioned in previous updates (not Family). He personally has been holding one billion Iraq Dinar since 1992. In his estimation (today), the chances of it paying out are “slim and none”.
DINAR: Today WE were discussing the ramifications and implications of the Dinar R.V. being a fraud, if it is, with still other sources. Recall please, that’s what our sources told us two and one half years ago. The consensus is that everyone seems to forget Iraq made many many announcements in November and December of 2013 that all 3 zero notes would be null and void January 1st, 2014. Not once did they say ‘inside Iraq’. Last Friday an Iraqi Gov’t. Official reminded us of those announcements. I personally have Dinar and Dong. I consider it an insurance policy.
I want the Gurus to be right, our sources to be wrong. It was ‘tomorrow or certainly by Tuesday’ way back then and it still is. Our sources, having said it is a Gov’t. Sponsored Scam way back then, now say they think it is a worldwide scam and that all Western Governments are part of it as are the Banks and all Fiat Financial Institutions. Trillions of Dinar are still being sold all over the world, every day. WE know of 4 times ‘exchangers’ were reloaded with additional trillions of Dinar and no telling how many times WE don’t know about.
APR (as previously reported) WE have ‘visited’ with four of them obtaining one admission they are getting their currency from Treasury. The other three said there is a ‘middle man’ between themselves and the currency they get. The purpose, IOP, is preservation of the status quo, maintaining themselves in power and keeping their utterly corrupt fiat financial carousel spinning. And it appears to be a commitment ‘unto death’.
How many Trillions of DOLLARS do you suppose they have raised by selling what is currently toilet paper to the public? Now add in the rest of the world. Fiat Governments/Treasury Departments acting in unison raising Trillions in Cash Flow. If this is the correct analysis, the IMF, World Bank and BIS are all in on it.
GURU’s: A message just for you. At the height of our efforts, which you are now repeating, ‘they’ couldn’t go to the toilet without us knowing. WE had many very highly placed ‘helpers’. One Senator said to us “I have never seen anything like this. You guys know what is going on 24 hours before I do and I am a United States Senator”. Another Senator said “Every one of you guys should have been FBI Agents”.
It was at this time, after reporting to our readers every tit and whittle of what they were doing, that they basically went beserk. Geithner called his big meeting of his big shots in Treasury and began screaming at all present, “You do not work for the Government. You do not work for The Treasury Department! YOU WORK FOR ME. From now on all your phones are tapped. Your office phones, your cell phones, your house phones. I am sick and tired of the leaks. Anyone caught talking will be fired immediately and never work in Government again. "
At one point WE had them convinced their offices were bugged as we knew so much so quickly. At another point we had them convinced the Freedom Packs had tracking gizmo’s in them. All the while WE knew about the professional dis-info agents (liars), teams of liars in Treasury and in the Agencies. So what did they do, which is the point of this paragraph. After releasing their daily barrage of vomit domestically, they waited a few hours and had very similar vomit released in China, usually through bankers. A few hours later, or the next day, they released similar disinformation in Europe.
Now WE have our pail of B.S. plum full and triple confirmed, don’t you see, from very high level places around the world. It took us almost two years to cut through their jungle and figure out for sure what they were doing. Our Intel was ‘confirmed,’ don’t you see, from all over the world. Meanwhile, hundreds of ‘ours’ died owing greatly to the EVIL that is Washington D.C. My best friend committed suicide as did many others. Then, over time, it became thousands, 28 in my own small world died.
It is possible, maybe probable, that you don’t understand what you are dealing with. After five or ten years ‘on the job,’ you are still the ‘new kids on the block’ with no historical understanding of what has gone on before your arrival. Is it possible the very very bad guys have you wrapped around their little fingers? Is it possible there is an ongoing scam so big, so widespread, with so many high level participants participating that you cannot get your mind wrapped around such a thing? Is it possible your ‘mentor/leader/big shot’ who appeared to you out of the blue, by phone, is your handler not your friend?If Tuesday again comes and goes, maybe it’s time you Gurus get yourselves together for a ‘Come To Jesus’ meeting to figure out what you really know versus what the highly paid lying employees of the Corporation and the Bankers committed to protecting Fiat and Fractional at any cost, are telling you.
APR, all the ‘make ready’ in the world does not influence the decisions ‘at the top’. If it is a scam, Banks participation in false Intel may only be known to Bankers at the very top. The CBI is part and parcel of the utterly corrupt existing fiat system, as is the PBOC. Consider please. WE are aware of your comment this afternoon ‘Super Bowl kick-off 5 p.m. eastern.' We get your drift. We shall see Big Tony, we shall see.
In a post last week ‘Mr. Anonymous’, a retired Intel agent with plenty of research time on his hands, included Casper in a list of those trying to claim the Collateral Accounts. Shame on you Mr. Anonymous. You're off to a bad start. As our readers know, we have never said or even insinuated that WE have any claim on the Collateral Accounts. We have defended ‘program participants’ from Crayford’s never ending claims that OITC owns every dime on the planet. WE have had plenty of public boxing matches with Crayford so perhaps you assumed WE are claiming the Collateral Accounts based on that. Our updates are a matter of record, archived at www.fourwinds10.com. It was because of Crayford’s OITC claims that WE did so much investigating regarding his claims. WE then reported to readers as we received feedback from the top people in the U.N., the U.N. General Counsel himself and many banks and courts around the world. If you want to know what they said go research the Casper updates at Fourwinds. WE take no offense. WE suspect your mistake is accidental, however, this business of calling Crayford the Lone Wolf, now that’s another matter entirely. You see, sir, WE are the original Lone Wolf (Pack) from a dozen years before anyone ever heard of Mr. Crayford. If you want to refer to him as the Lone Wolf Of Europe, well that will be okay as we are not greedy or possessive. Be warned though, your house may be haunted from here on by Mr. Christopher Story. As you research the updates you will see the number of times we referred to ourselves as being ‘Out On A Limb’ all by ourselves. Time and again we referred to how lonely and cold it is out here, a reference to our Intel always being different than others. In recent years we have said its still lonely but we are getting used to it. And so it was-and is, a pack of Lone Wolves out on a tree limb, unsure how we got here and unsure which direction back to the tree. By the way, WE have ‘retired intel’ folks on our team too. They send greetings.
ZAP called about a month ago, first time ever. Wendy set it up and participated. WE had a pleasant talk, I had a sleepless night. The next morning I sent him a two page e-mail seeking clarification to some of the things discussed. No reply. Two weeks later I sent a one liner, ‘should we expect a reply to our e-mail from two weeks ago’? No reply. I am not going to repeat everything we discussed but three things I have decided to share with you. 1). Zap, as you now readily admit and said to me, you don’t know anything about the ‘programs’ and never have so how is it that you were Poof’s source for extremely positive program info updates for 10 or 15 years? 2). Do you think it Kosher that you are using multiple Internet personalities to confirm your own Intel? 3). Why is it that your Intel from ‘Grandfather Ming’ cannot be confirmed by family members who have known him for a hundred years after three attempts by them to do so? There was no request by Zap that we keep our talk confidential. WE are not attacking Zap, we are doing our duty of reporting to our readers, our friends, some of whom go back to times long before Casper, Zap or the Dinar were ever heard of by the ‘public’.
KEENAN: WE are sorry your first attempt to film the contents of the bunkers and the bunkers themselves didn’t work out and WE are so looking forward to seeing the results of your current attempt. Our source in regard to this subject was involved with the crating and loading of Bunker Contents onto American warships at the end of WW2. He says the amount of ‘treasure’ involved was not nearly as great as hand-me-down reports over the years have implied. Perhaps you and yours have discovered additional bunkers?
IRAQ: Is broke, can’t pay bills or balance its budget says various articles. Suddenly they begin finding trillions of Dinar here, there and yonder. Trillions found lying around ‘left over from previous budgets’. Trillions found in secret Maliki? Bunkers and being returned. How convenient. The overprinting of the Dinar by Iraq, the U.S. and France (Zap) is well known. That’s the neat thing about owning one of the magic funny money machines. You never run out of recently located suitcases full of money.
WE always ask, expecting someone somewhere will eventually be bold enough to provide a plausible answer: Why would they sell Dinar to the public for 1/8thof a penny only to buy it back soon, -certainly by Tuesday-for three or more dollars? Who does that make sense to? Which way is the money flowing friends, assuming you can get over the hump of calling FRN debt instruments money? The ‘money’ is flowing from us to them and has been for many years. What’s flowing to us is the toilet paper Iraq announced was ‘null and void’ in late 2013. . In our opinion it all amounts to the Cabals ‘asset stripping’ of America progressing down to the people level. Anything, anything at all, even WW3, to maintain themselves in power, preserve the status quo of Fiat and Fractional and to keep their fraudulent financial carousel spinning.
WAR: For well over a decade WE have used this word to emphasize the magnitude of what is going on behind the scenes. Now you can see in vivid color every day the magnitude of this war. Now, as Europe decides which furniture to burn first Putin issues a public call for the E.U. nations to desert the U.S. and to join the Russia/China led ‘Easter Alliance’. ‘Playtime is Over’ says Putin. I can’t remember whether it was Edgar Casey or Nostradamus who said ‘it will be Russia that saves the world’. The goal of the Cabal is to make Russia submit to the Petro Dollar and not let them escape under any circumstances from the net of Central Bank Control. Putin responds, paraphrasing, “Screw You, we have Nukes and we are not afraid to use them”.
ECONOMY: Massive store closings and layoffs throughout Western Countries, especially the U.S. and Canada. Two days ago announcements say 133 Target stores closing in Canada, 17,600 layoffs. Our sources say only the first wave announced, 1500 stores in Canada to close, as many as 1800 in the U.S. with accompanying layoffs. 9000 laid off at Schlumberger. Papers say 4000 at Std. Charter, 4000 at Bk.of America. Our sources in Charlotte say ‘that’s just the first wave, 15,000 layoffs coming soon’. More and more announced every day. 23% unemployment now says ‘Shadow Stats’. Obama lives in a fantasy world of his own creation. Like Hitler he has surrounded himself with yes men, women and Democrats. Anyone who speaks up, Civilian or Military, is immediately fired for him by his Muslim blood hound, Valarie Jarret. Is it simple stupidity and incompetence as it must appear to most? Or is it part of the Obama plan (Cloward/Pivin) to destroy America from within as WE have been reporting to you for six plus years? Truth is available, it’s not that hard to find but it does not come from the massively manipulated Gov’t. Statistics or the mouth of the pathological liar standing in front of you with his bully pulpit and his teleprompter. There are literally dozens of Financial Analyst , experts and writers from all over the world speaking to you in volume saying the situation is worse than we are being told and steps must be taken now to protect yourself and your family. What a great service our ‘big Three’ websites provide as they deliver so much info each day for which all the ‘seek and find’ hard work has been done for you. It IS work and cost money for them to provide so many items for our discernment, hence our solicitation once again to help them financially as best you can.
INFORMATION: The intake of information leads to knowledge leads to understanding leads to wisdom which leads to the realization that LOVE really is the most important thing. Single Sourced Information is risky business. It is important to gain as many perspectives as possible before forming your opinion in cement.
There are so many interesting and important pieces of information not touched upon here as I am too tired to continue. Writing is considerably more trying than reading. The Swiss leaving the Euro to flounder, for example, especially in light of the E.U.’s announcement of massive new QE interventions next week, is an extremely important item disclosing how far the WAR has progressed. Remember, APR, the 16T bailout of European Banks by the Fed a couple of years ago. Remember, all the derivatives structured around oil and its subsets (gas, plastics, etc.) are two sided, long/short. With a fifty dollar drop in oil someone, many many someone’s, are getting crushed, murdered actually. Things are happening so fast and furious now there is no telling what this coming week will bring.
Remember now, ‘when the going gets tough the tough get going’.
With that said I am off to take a nap.
Casper, Wendy and WE 1-18-15
URGENT!!!! A MUST READ!!!!! PONZI SCHEMES UNRAVEL - BIG BANKS IN AMERICA
PONZI SCHEMES UNRAVEL BUT THE DEADLINE IS NEAR
by Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert
Monday January 19, 2015

UNITED States of America - At this hour the Central Bank of Japan has suspended any more alleged QE (quantitative easing) under massive political on orders of the Emperor given the destruction of Japanese pension funds, rising unemployment triggered by the inability of Japanese banks to loan money based on negative zero interest rates.
Again, the policies of the current Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been to depreciate the yen as to create a 'carry trade', which has been designed to reward criminal U.S. banks in regards to support a stock market bubble in both the United States and Japan.
The current Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a treasonous piece of filth who has used U.S. TAXPAYERS' money in concert with the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve to create ass backwards derivatives (with the assistance of ponzi scheme operator Ambassador Leo Wanta) that will now explode on both Japanese and U.S. pension fund holders.
P.S. It gets worse!
At this hour, U.S.-based Wells Fargo Bank and its branch out of Reno, Nevada is in total violation of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 as they are trying to bail out, along with Jefferies Inc out of Chicago, Illinois, the massive debits and margin calls of Bank of America tied to their naked short positions in the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen.
P.P.S. Wells Fargo is now putting in jeopardy all of its depositors and account holders by using Dodd-Frank legislation as a vehicle to use the deposits of their customers to meet the margin calls of Bank of America and other FX firms who were blindsided by the Swiss National Bank.
What is forthcoming is a massive 'BAIL-IN' by crooked U.S. banks STEALING AND LOOTING OF THEIR CUSTOMERS' FUNDS to meet their massive margin calls tied to their naked short undermargined positions in the Japanese yen.
P.P.P.S. Tonight I had a discussion with Ambassador Leo Wanta (202) 379-2904 ext 001, in regards to the final implementation of the Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols that would be an extreme benefit to both the U.S. and French Treasuries.
I told Wanta, who had discussions with criminal U.S. banks today on a holiday, that the pimping of the Japanese yen aka creating more cross-collateralized derivatives to other U.S. banks like Wells Fargo (Reno, Nevada branch) and Bank of America HAS TO STOP NOW!
Note: The Central Bank of Japan has already signaled that they are done with the depreciation of the yen.
So, what happens next. Liar and traitor and cheat Wanta, who says he is an American patriot, creates more bogus derivatives with U.S. TAXPAYERS' MONEY, continue to pimp out the Japanese yen on behalf of the criminal bank, Bank of America, which is completely and totally broke in ass backwards short Japanese yen derivatives, which could easily collapse the entire U.S. banking system thanks to the duplicitous Wanta, along with Wells Fargo, Bank of America, but not the Central Bank of Japan.
In closing, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) has had enough and the American People have had ENOUGH!
Message to Wells Fargo: You either put the money back, punks, or you are going to have a major IRS problem tied to the London LIFFE Exchange with the International Revenue Service office out of Reno, Nevada.
P.S. It gets worse!
ALERT! URGENT MESSAGE FOR PP & FARM CLAIMS PARTICIPANTS WAITING FOR FUNDS!!!
URGENT MESSAGE TO FOURWINDS READERS
USE DISCERNMENT - USE CAUTION
WITH THIS MESSAGE
January 20, 2015
URGENT MESSAGE TO FOURWINDS READERS
This message is specifically for those who Prosperity Program participants, have Farm Claims, or are waiting funds for projects. You may be contacted by Zap/Poof, Susan and their staff to send them your bank address, banking coordinates such as bank account numbers routing and SWIFT numbers, etc.
Do NOT give out to Zap or to anyone your personal banking information. Zap is a con man, a fraudster, and will access your bank accounts via the information you give him, and will take your money and leave you destitute.
Zap is not who you think he is! Zap is Jerzy Babkowski, an international con-man, known widely for his fraud in China, Hong Kong, Europe, Canada and many other countries. Over the years he has taken much money from many people through fraud and deceit.
Zap is planning to use the lists of names of Prosperity Program participants, Farm Claims people and Project people, contact them with the promise of providing 25K of “first money” to each by Thursday or Friday (Jan. 22, 23, 2015) of this week.
There is no liquidity, no money available at this time for anyone. It is a trick to get you to give your banking information to Zap so he can access your accounts and take what little money you do have.
If you do not believe me, Google “Jerzy Babkowski” and see for yourself. My most important and most trustworthy contacts are telling me that Zap is Jerzy Babkowski. Zap has proven this by sending an email that I now hold in my hand.
The “Grandfather” that Zap speaks of is NOT M1. This "Grandfather” has no authority to release any funds to anyone. It is all a lie. The sole signatory of the Global Family wealth is Dr. Tsai Cheng Lee, the true Grandfather/Mi. The reason I know this is because I have known Dr. Lee and some of his people of Global Family for a very long time, and with whom I have direct communication. I cannot say more for reasons of confidentiality.
Please understand that Zap is a total fraud, as are his reports. Unless, you are a sponsor and have paid your monthly fee of $35., Zap, Susan and staff refuse to answer your emails or talk to you by phone. They have made a lot of money over the years from gullible people, and they plan to make a whole lot more.
Do NOT be tricked! Be wise, and know that true funding shall be forth coming in due time. The new gold standard international banking system shall be operational soon. Without it your money would be lost to the fraudulent Federal Reserve Bank.
We shall present more information on this matter yet this week.
In Love and Light,
Patrick H. Bellringer

ARKANSAS: 7 HOMESCHOOL KIDS 'STOLEN' BY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
POLICE STATE, USA
7 homeschool kids 'stolen' by sheriff's deputies
Anonymous complaint from neighbor sparks family nightmare
According to Health Impact News, the product, called MMS, can be purchased online and used to purify water. The family said the water was used on the garden.
The report said the product “has been used in Africa by the Red Cross to treat malaria,” but its presence in the home of the Christian family – the father is a pastor – was reported by an anonymous caller.
Deputies responded by asking the parents to step outside into the cold winter air and answer questions.
They were then served with a search warrant, and the house was searched for five hours with the children inside.
Friends launched an immediate social media campaign, including a BringTheStanleyKids Home page on Facebook and a GoFundMe page, to help Hal and Michelle Stanley organize a legal defense and obtain the children’s release from state custody.
Health Impact News released a copy of an email composed by Michelle Stanley after the raid. The DHS has come and stolen our kids from us under the guise of ‘protecting our children,’” she wrote. She said the dispute started a month earlier when an anonymous caller complained about the family allowing the children to be barefoot.
When an investigator arrived, “We showed her some of the ’200 and something’ pair of shoes and told her (actually the kids told her) how it was their preference to go barefoot and that it was like a tradition to briefly run out in the snow barefoot and take a picture of the footprints.”
Then, weeks later, “Several people showed up at our door, all obviously here for the investigation and we welcomed them in. However, they desired us to step outside in order to speak privately with Hal and I and not in front of the kids. I tried to tell them it was much warmer inside and that it was nothing for the kids to go to the back of the house for us to have privacy talking. They refused and insisted on us stepping outside."
She continued: “After stepping outside they issued us a search warrant and said we could not enter our house or talk to our kids until the search and the investigation was through. … They said the charge was that we had a poisonous substance in our house and that the kids were being exposed to it and it endangered their welfare.”
Regarding the supplement, she continued, “Never has it been used in any way to ‘poison’ our kids or even expose them in such a way as to endanger their lives.”
She said eventually “6 intimidating brute looking males and 1 DHS female all lined up in our den to tell us they would be taking our kids into their custody for 72 hours.”
That time period, however, has extended to more than a week already, family supporters said. Their GoFundMe support team reported the parents were allowed to see the children Saturday.
“This family is a Christian family who homeschools their children. They live a peaceful, [quiet] life and are wonderful parents. I have know[n] them for over 20 years, my children have grown up with theirs. Hal is my former pastor. If this can happen to this family [it] can happen to mine, it can happen to yours,” wrote the page organizer.
The county sheriff’s office declined to respond to WND requests for comment, and messages left with the state police and state health and human services department were not returned. One state investigator’s answering machine on Monday said he was out of the office Oct. 13-17 and would return the following week.
Health Impact reported the product is sodium chlorite and is available on Amazon or eBay. The report said studies have investigated its possible beneficial effects in cases of Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, but the government said it can be turned into a bleach that would be poisonous if taken, the report said. (bleach is purchased every day at local supermarkets - already made - not a substance to be 'turned in to bleach'!!!!!)
Local television station KARK reported the family explained that they used the substance for purifying water for their garden. The “Miracle Mineral Solution” has been cited by the FDA for being able to be turned into bleach. Hal Stanley told the station, “If they had asked me if I had MMS, I’d say 'yes' and give it to them.”
The mother noted in her email the anonymity of the complaint. "We asked who made the charge and if anyone could just make any accusation and they have to act on the call regardless of its validity. They said it could be a hateful neighbor, a prank caller, someone with malicious intent and they still would have to act on the call,” she wrote. “The call was anonymous and therefore the caller was protected while all our rights were taken away.”
At a website called Medical Kidnap, one reader, Jacquie Trump, noted that government authorities, under the standard used against the family, should lose their own children because “there are dangerous chemicals in their own homes.”
Deputies responded by asking the parents to step outside into the cold winter air and answer questions.
They were then served with a search warrant, and the house was searched for five hours with the children inside.
Friends launched an immediate social media campaign, including a BringTheStanleyKids Home page on Facebook and a GoFundMe page, to help Hal and Michelle Stanley organize a legal defense and obtain the children’s release from state custody.

That time period, however, has extended to more than a week already, family supporters said. Their GoFundMe support team reported the parents were allowed to see the children Saturday.
“This family is a Christian family who homeschools their children. They live a peaceful, [quiet] life and are wonderful parents. I have know[n] them for over 20 years, my children have grown up with theirs. Hal is my former pastor. If this can happen to this family [it] can happen to mine, it can happen to yours,” wrote the page organizer.
The county sheriff’s office declined to respond to WND requests for comment, and messages left with the state police and state health and human services department were not returned. One state investigator’s answering machine on Monday said he was out of the office Oct. 13-17 and would return the following week.
Health Impact reported the product is sodium chlorite and is available on Amazon or eBay. The report said studies have investigated its possible beneficial effects in cases of Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, but the government said it can be turned into a bleach that would be poisonous if taken, the report said. (bleach is purchased every day at local supermarkets - already made - not a substance to be 'turned in to bleach'!!!!!)
Local television station KARK reported the family explained that they used the substance for purifying water for their garden. The “Miracle Mineral Solution” has been cited by the FDA for being able to be turned into bleach. Hal Stanley told the station, “If they had asked me if I had MMS, I’d say 'yes' and give it to them.”
The mother noted in her email the anonymity of the complaint. "We asked who made the charge and if anyone could just make any accusation and they have to act on the call regardless of its validity. They said it could be a hateful neighbor, a prank caller, someone with malicious intent and they still would have to act on the call,” she wrote. “The call was anonymous and therefore the caller was protected while all our rights were taken away.”
At a website called Medical Kidnap, one reader, Jacquie Trump, noted that government authorities, under the standard used against the family, should lose their own children because “there are dangerous chemicals in their own homes.”
“Bleach, draino, toilet bowl cleaner, Tylenol, stain, varnish, glues and the list goes on and on. It is criminal that this gestapo organization can break into your home and terrorize anyone at any time over any one reporting anything.”
WND long has reported on government disputes with homeschoolers. In December a home schooling mother in Virginia filed a lawsuit against six social workers after they seized her two children and placed them in foster care. One of the social workers claimed a diabetic 4-year-old’s blood glucose levels were too high.
The case was brought on behalf of Vanessa Wilson against workers from the Riverside County Department of Social Services Child Protective Services by the Home School Legal Defense Association. The claim explains officials “then deliberately kept the children separated from their mother in spite of clear evidence that the separation was unnecessary – and concealed that evidence from Vanessa and the court.”
WND has reported on other cases in which authorities have taken children from their families, including when authorities in Germany dispatched a SWAT team armed with a battering ram to take custody of several homeschooled children.

This is fact: There are no medical tests in existence that can prove ADHD or any other mental disorder these children are being diagnosed and drugged for is a physical abnormality, brain dysfunction, chemical imbalance or genetic abnormality. Period.
Even the National Institute of Health Consensus (NIH) issued a statement admitting, “We do not have an independent, valid test for ADHD, and there is no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction.”
Millions of children have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), BiPolar disorder, OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and many other psychiatric labels (diagnosis) none of which are supported by medical test or confirmed as physical malfunctions (disease) by science.
Parents are simply told their child is mentally ill and more often than not, told to place their child on psychiatric drugs, including ADHD drugs which the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration categorizes in the same class of highly addictive substances as cocaine, morphine and opium. They are not being provided with non-harmful, non-drug solutions for problems of attention, mood or behavior.
The purpose of this page is to give parents facts about mental disorders, psychiatric drug risks, and non-harmful medical alternatives to psychiatric labels and drugs.
The first thing parents should know is that there are no medical tests that can prove your child is “mentally ill” and any diagnosis of mental disorder is based solely on opinion—in fact, a simple checklist of behavior.
Therefore, if a psychiatrist or doctor says your child has a “mental disorder” and needs to be on “medication” (drugs):
1) Demand to see the lab test, brain scan, blood test or X-ray that proves your child has a mental disorder—(there isn’t one) that would require drug “treatment”
You can also print off this page, with psychiatrists and doctors admitting there is no medical test for any mental disorder and no evidence that any “mental disorder” is a medical condition
2) If drugs are recommended for your child, print off summaries of international drug warnings/studies on whatever type of drug is being recommended and provide this to the doctor/psychiatrist recommending drugs and ask if they are aware of the international studies and warnings on these drug risks (unfortunately, many doctors get their information on drugs safety from Pharmaceutical representatives)

3) If the psychiatrist/doctor provides you with what they claim is evidence of a ‘mental disorder’ forward this claim to CCHR International here— and we will provide you with the evidence that whatever claim is being made, is false.
4) There are non-harmful, non-drug medical alternatives to treating children’s problems with mood, attention and behavior that do not require a stigmatizing psychiatric label (not based on science or medicine but strictly on opinion) or a dangerous drug.
You have the right to know about these- and to ask your doctor about non-drug treatments.

After A Tsunami Wiped Out A 200 Year-Old Company, Competitors Helped Them Rebuild
An award winning Japanese soy sauce
company lost everything in the 2011 Tsunami. The entire town, including
the 200 year-old factory, was completely destroyed.
With support from all over Japan, the company is now rebuilding. Competitors - yes, competitors - provided soy products allowing them to build a new factory and continue trading. One of Japan's largest department stores chose to pay more than the asking price for their products. The local bank manager swore a solemn oath to protect the Kono family from bankruptcy.

Hero Cat Saves Abandoned Baby From Freezing To Death
A long-haired tabby cat named Masha
saved the life of an abandoned baby in the streets of Russia after she
climbed into the box he was discarded in and kept him warm, health
officials said.

The whiskered hero even meowed to get the attention of a passerby.
"She is very placid and friendly, so when I heard her meowing, I thought that perhaps she had injured herself," said Obninsk city resident Irina Lavrova. "Normally she would have come and said hello to me. You can imagine my shock when I saw her lying in a box next to a baby."

"Clearly her mothering instincts had taken over and she wanted to protect the child," Lavrova explained. "He was well-dressed with a little hat, and whoever left him here had even left a few nappies and some baby food."
The baby was immediately rushed to a local hospital, where he was given a checkup and declared fit and healthy, officials said. Since the child was found, Masha has been hailed as a hero by local residents - and she's been reaping the benefits.

Iran sees no OPEC shift toward a cut, says oil industry could withstand $25 crude
DUBAI (Reuters) -
Iran sees no sign of a shift within OPEC toward action to support oil
prices, its oil minister said, adding its oil industry could ride out a
further price slump to $25 a barrel.
The comments are a further sign that despite lobbying by Iran and
Venezuela, there is little chance of collective action by the 12-member
OPEC to prop up prices - entrenching the reluctance of individual
members to curb their own supplies.In remarks posted on the Iranian oil ministry's website SHANA, Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh called for increased cooperation between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"Iran has no plan (to hold an emergency OPEC meeting) and is currently in consultations with other OPEC member states in a bid to prevent the sharp fall in the oil price, but these consultations have yet to bear fruit," he said.
Oil has plunged by more than half since June 2014 to below $50 a barrel on Monday, pressured by a global glut and OPEC's refusal at its last meeting in November to cut its output.
OPEC decided against a production cut despite misgivings from non-Gulf members such as Iran and Venezuela, after top producer Saudi Arabia argued the group needed to defend market share against U.S. shale oil and other competing sources.
Since the meeting, lobbying by Iran for a cut and a diplomatic tour by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has failed to soften the stance of the Gulf members, who can live with relatively low oil prices.
Reinforcing the impasse, the Gulf members are frustrated with the position of other countries, who call for supply cuts but do not offer any themselves.
Zanganeh said Iran had no plans to cut its own oil production and that it had no further meetings with Saudi Arabia - Iran's main political rival in the Gulf - since the OPEC meeting.
Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said countries behind the price fall would regret their decision and warned that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would suffer alongside Iran from the price drop.
Zanganeh said Iran's budget should be based on oil at $72 per barrel, but Iran could withstand lower oil prices.
"Even if the oil price goes down to $25 a barrel, the oil industry will not be threatened," the Fars news agency quoted him as saying.

New police radars can 'see' inside homes
At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies quietly deployed radars that let them effectively see inside homes, with little notice to the courts or the public.
WASHINGTON — At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies have secretly equipped their officers with radar devices that allow them to effectively peer through the walls of houses to see whether anyone is inside, a practice raising new concerns about the extent of government surveillance.
Those agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service, began deploying the radar systems more than two years ago with little notice to the courts and no public disclosure of when or how they would be used. The technology raises legal and privacy issues because the U.S. Supreme Court has said officers generally cannot use high-tech sensors to tell them about the inside of a person's house without first obtaining a search warrant.
The radars work like finely tuned motion detectors, using radio waves to zero in on movements as slight as human breathing from a distance of more than 50 feet. They can detect whether anyone is inside of a house, where they are and whether they are moving.
Current and former federal officials say the information is critical for keeping officers safe if they need to storm buildings or rescue hostages. But privacy advocates and judges have nonetheless expressed concern about the circumstances in which law enforcement agencies may be using the radars — and the fact that they have so far done so without public scrutiny.
"The idea that the government can send signals through the wall of your house to figure out what's inside is problematic," said Christopher Soghoian, the American Civil Liberties Union's principal technologist. "Technologies that allow the police to look inside of a home are among the intrusive tools that police have."
Agents' use of the radars was largely unknown until December, when a federal appeals court in Denver said officers had used one before they entered a house to arrest a man wanted for violating his parole. The judges expressed alarm that agents had used the new technology without a search warrant, warning that "the government's warrantless use of such a powerful tool to search inside homes poses grave Fourth Amendment questions."
By then, however, the technology was hardly new. Federal contract records show the Marshals Service began buying the radars in 2012, and has so far spent at least $180,000 on them.
Justice Department spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said officials are reviewing the court's decision. He said the Marshals Service "routinely pursues and arrests violent offenders based on pre-established probable cause in arrest warrants" for serious crimes.
The device the Marshals Service and others are using, known as the Range-R, looks like a sophisticated stud-finder. Its display shows whether it has detected movement on the other side of a wall and, if so, how far away it is — but it does not show a picture of what's happening inside. The Range-R's maker, L-3 Communications, estimates it has sold about 200 devices to 50 law enforcement agencies at a cost of about $6,000 each.
Other radar devices have far more advanced capabilities, including three-dimensional displays of where people are located inside a building, according to marketing materials from their manufacturers. One is capable of being mounted on a drone. And the Justice Department has funded research to develop systems that can map the interiors of buildings and locate the people within them.
The radars were first designed for use in Iraq and Afghanistan. They represent the latest example of battlefield technology finding its way home to civilian policing and bringing complex legal questions with it.
Those concerns are especially thorny when it comes to technology that lets the police determine what's happening inside someone's home. The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that the Constitution generally bars police from scanning the outside of a house with a thermal camera unless they have a warrant, and specifically noted that the rule would apply to radar-based systems that were then being developed.
In 2013, the court limited police's ability to have a drug dog sniff the outside of homes. The core of the Fourth Amendment, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, is "the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion."
Still, the radars appear to have drawn little scrutiny from state or federal courts. The federal appeals court's decision published last month was apparently the first by an appellate court to reference the technology or its implications.
That case began when a fugitive-hunting task force headed by the U.S. Marshals Service tracked a man named Steven Denson, wanted for violating his parole, to a house in Wichita. Before they forced the door open, Deputy U.S. Marshal Josh Moff testified, he used a Range-R to detect that someone was inside.
Moff's report made no mention of the radar; it said only that officers "developed reasonable suspicion that Denson was in the residence."
Agents arrested Denson for the parole violation and charged him with illegally possessing two firearms they found inside. The agents had a warrant for Denson's arrest but did not have a search warrant. Denson's lawyer sought to have the guns charge thrown out, in part because the search began with the warrantless use of the radar device.
Three judges on the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the search, and Denson's conviction, on other grounds. Still, the judges wrote, they had "little doubt that the radar device deployed here will soon generate many questions for this court."
But privacy advocates said they see more immediate questions, including how judges could be surprised by technology that has been in agents' hands for at least two years. "The problem isn't that the police have this. The issue isn't the technology; the issue is always about how you use it and what the safeguards are," said Hanni Fakhoury, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The Marshals Service has faced criticism for concealing other surveillance tools. Last year, the ACLU obtained an e-mail from a Sarasota, Fla., police sergeant asking officers from another department not to reveal that they had received information from a cellphone-monitoring tool known as a stingray. "In the past, and at the request of the U.S. Marshals, the investigative means utilized to locate the suspect have not been revealed," he wrote, suggesting that officers instead say they had received help from "a confidential source."
William Sorukas, a former supervisor of the Marshals Service's domestic investigations arm, said deputies are not instructed to conceal the agency's high-tech tools, but they also know not to advertise them. "If you disclose a technology or a method or a source, you're telling the bad guys along with everyone else," he said.

Banksters Discover The Good Times Can Quit Rolling... 50K Banksters Axed...
New York Post – by John Aidan Byrne
There’s blood on the Street.
In a wild swing of the ax that has shocked many
pundits, Wall Street’s biggest banks have slashed nearly 50,000 jobs,
and bonuses and expense money are being cut as profit opportunities dry
up.
And there’s no easy way out, analysts say,
because the Fed’s quantitative easing that once rescued the financial
system with trillions of cheap dollars is — at least for now — history.
But while some analysts were unnerved by the carnage announced by banks last week during their earnings calls, the warning signs
were there before — from lower trading and commodities revenues to
currency risks and long-term interest rates that have trended lower.
The fourth quarter saw thousands more workers
fired. Total reductions for 2014 were about 20,000 at Brian Moynihan’s
Bank of America; 10,000 at Citigroup led by Michael Corbat; and 10,000
at Jaime Dimon’s JP Morgan. Morgan Stanley reports on Tuesday.
Many job losses were already flagged —
attributed, for example, to a decline in servicing of delinquent loans
as banks cleared troubled mortgages. But analysts also see brutal
cost-cutting.
“Look, I think head count in the banking industry is likely to decline,” said CLSA investment group bank analyst Mike Mayo. “And if this environment remains, headcount would get significantly reduced.”
By Mayo’s calculations, bank revenues are the weakest in eight decades, a shocking throwback to the Great Depression.
And the carnage is ongoing as global growth slows and commodity prices and currency movement roil the markets.
“I think there have been heavy potential and
paper losses at this point. Clearly, nobody bet properly on oil — nobody
thought it was going to be below 50 a barrel,” said Tim Quast,
president of market analytics firm ModernIR.
Even mighty Goldman Sachs didn’t escape last
week’s destruction. Although the firm reported fourth-quarter earnings a
tad better than forecast on Friday, that came from painful
expense-shearing as revenues, hurt by a plunge in bond trading, posted a
nauseating double-digit decline. Declines in bond activity also rocked
JPMorgan, Citigroup and Bank of America.

A breached oil pipeline in
Montana has spilled as many as 50,000 gallons of crude oil in and around
the Yellowstone River, according to the state. Bridger Pipeline LLC has
yet to determine the cause, but has claimed the public is in no immediate danger.
Cleanup crews were at work
on Monday to address the mess, which emanated from a break in the
Poplar Pipeline system about 9 miles upstream from Glendive in eastern
Montana.
