    LIBOR Bomb! 
    by Steve Quayle, www.stevequayle.com
    July 10, 2012
    -
    The recent theatrics in the media about the LIBOR forgets to underscore the BIG picture. It is not the “BIG BANKS” or the Central Banks that is the problem. It is the cabal of financiers and the system that they have propagated for hundreds of years in the Western World and almost hundred years here in the US , that is the main parasitic cancerous growth.
    -
    It is this growth that has been brooding in the veins of the financial system. Year after year, decade after decade, regulation after regulation, until one day the growth of this creature goes parabolic bringing sudden death to it’s host. I think many of you have no idea about how much your lives are about to change, in a drastic way for the worst. What they have planned for you, you will wish to die.
    -
    There is no making peace with the system, for this system makes no peace and it yields no quarter, no room for surrender. It’s actions will be swift and the more you lay off putting things in order in your life the more you pay for your procrastination and normalcy bias with a fine so weighty you will wish you were dead.
    -
    The LIBOR plays out like this and I will not repeat myself on what I have already said about it. Another crack/fissure in the derivatives market.  I can not stress enough to tell you how close to breaking this market is. For those who do not understand the critical nature of this market and it’s inevitable downfall, I can tell you this. It will be world ending in scope.
    -
    I mean what I said. The Hacks that are occurring in over 200 banks and their servers around the world is the Global  Stealth Cyber Bank Run (GSCBR). It is the elites way of finishing off your wealth. The last  touches before the carcass is burned to a hearth. The Bond market is finished, We all knew that there is a bubble in the bond market, This is the coup de grace that will not pop the bubble, but make it explode with the force of a thousand suns. America will be broke and barren in a blink of an eye! These are two events that I have been warning about are ones that  will end your life on this planet as you know it. Your cash will be worthless, your country at a standstill, No money, No food, no essential services,  AND WHEN IT ALL STOPS….. YOU STOP.

US Training The Dictators of Tomorrow?

  • The global drug trade is controlled by the 13 Satanic bloodlines via Illuminist intelligence agencies: CIA, MI6 …. etc. The Taliban effectively wiped out opium crops in Afghanistan by 2000. That pissed off the western Illuminati and thus (amongst other reasons) Afghanistan was invaded. Since the western invasion, Afghanistan is now the largest producer of the opium crop, something like 90+% of worldwide production. As long as US and NATO remains in Afghanistan, opium production will continue and flourish!

    Taleban Wipes out Afghanistan’s Opium Production
    Jim Teeple Jalalabad, 8 Apr 2001 21:23 UTC
    U.N. drug control officials say Taleban authorities in Afghanistan have wiped out the country’s opium crop – the largest such crop in the world. U.N. officials say the action is unprecedented, and Afghanistan’s former poppy farmers need urgent assistance to help them make the transition to farming legitimate crops. That transition is already well underway, but many Afghan farmers think giving up poppy farming will mean a harder life.

    Afghanistan, Opium and the Taliban
    JALALABAD, Afghanistan (February 15, 2001 8:19 p.m. EST)
    U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan — once the world’s largest producer — since banning poppy cultivation last summer. A 12-member team from the U.N. Drug Control Program spent two weeks searching most of the nation’s largest opium-producing areas and found so few poppies that they do not expect any opium to come out of Afghanistan this year.

  • Dateline report on CIA drug trafficking into the US with follow-up commentary by Alex Jones
    Dateline news report on how the CIA brought cocaine into the US during the 1980s, igniting the crack epidemic. The late investigative journalist Gary Webb discusses how “Freeway Ricky Ross” was only a small player in a much larger scheme by the CIA to traffic drugs into America. Former DEA agent Cele Castillo is also interviewed, speaking about how when he worked for the DEA and witnessed drug trafficking, he was told that it was a code operation being run by the White House! After the dateline report, Alex Jones offers further insight into the system of control that the US government has manufactured with it’s so called “War on Drugs”. This news piece is extremely damning evidence of the drug running conducted by the US government!

  • MI6 Are the Lords of the Global Drug Trade (emphasis mine)
    by James Casbolt, Former MI6
    It may be a revelation to many people that the global drug trade is controlled and run by the intelligence agencies. In this global drug trade British intelligence reigns supreme. As intelligence insiders know MI5 and MI6 control many of the other intelligence agencies in the world (CIA, MOSSAD etc) in a vast web of intrigue and corruption that has its global power base in the city of London, the square mile. My name is James Casbolt, and I worked for MI6 in ‘black ops’ cocaine trafficking with the IRA and MOSSAD in London and Brighton between 1995 and 1999.

    -
    My father Peter Casbolt was also MI6 and worked with the CIA and mafia in Rome, trafficking cocaine into Britain. My experience was that the distinctions of all these groups became blurred until in the end we were all one international group working together for the same goals. We were puppets who had our strings pulled by global puppet masters based in the city of London. Most levels of the intelligence agencies are not loyal to the people of the country they are based in and see themselves as ‘super national’.
    -
    It had been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the CIA has been bringing in most of the drugs into America for the last fifty years
    (see ex LAPD officer Michael Rupert’s ‘From the wilderness’ website for proof). The CIA operates under orders from British intelligence and was created by British intelligence in 1947. The CIA today is still loyal to the international bankers based in the city of London and the global elite aristocratic families like the Rothschild’s and the Windsor’s. Since it was first started, MI6 has always brought drugs into Britain. They do not bring ‘some’ of the drugs into Britain but I would estimate MI6 bring in around ninety percent of the drugs in. They do this by pulling the strings of many organised crime and terrorist groups and these groups like the IRA are full of MI6 agents.

    -
    MI6 bring in heroin from the middle east, cocaine from south America and cannabis from morocco as well as other places. British intelligence also designed and created the drug LSD in the 1950′s through places like the Tavistock Institute in London. By the 1960′s MI5, MI6 and the CIA were using LSD as a weapon against the angry protestors of the sixties and turned them into ‘flower children’ who were too tripped out to organise a revolution.
    -
    Dr Timothy Leary the LSD guru of the sixties was a CIA puppet. Funds and drugs for Leary’s research came from the CIA and Leary says that Cord Meyer, the CIA agent in charge of funding the sixties LSD counter culture has “helped me to understand my political cultural role more clearly”. In 1998, I was sent 3000 LSD doses on blotting paper by MI5 with pictures of the European union flag on them. The MI5 man who sent them told my father this was a government ‘signature’ and this LSD was called ‘Europa’.
    -
    This global drugs trade controlled by British intelligence is worth at least 500 billion a year.
    This is more than the global oil trade and the economy in Britain and America is totally dependent on this drug money. Mafia crime boss John Gotti exposed the situation when asked in court if he was involved in drug trafficking. He replied “No we can’t compete with the government”. I believe this was only a half truth because the mafia and the CIA are the same group at the upper levels. In Britain, the MI6 drug money is laundered through the Bank of England, Barclays Bank and other household name companies. The drug money is passed from account to account until its origins are lost in a huge web of transactions. The drug money comes out ‘cleaner’ but not totally clean. Diamonds are then bought with this money from the corrupt diamond business families like the Oppenheimers. These diamonds are then sold and the drug money is clean.

    -
    MI6 and the CIA are also responsible for the crack cocaine epidemic in Britain and America. In 1978, MI6 and the CIA were in south America researching the effects of the natives smoking ‘basuco’ cocaine paste. This has the same effect as crack cocaine. They saw that the strength and addiction potential was far greater than ordinary cocaine and created crack cocaine from the basuco formula. MI6 and the CIA then flooded Britain and America with crack. Two years later, in 1980, Britain and America were starting to see the first signs of the crack cocaine epidemic on the streets. On august 23, 1987, in a rural community south of Little Rock in America, two teenage boys named Kevin Ives and Don Henry were murdered and dismembered after witnessing a CIA cocaine drop that was part of a CIA drug trafficking operation based at a small airport in Mena, Arkansas. Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas at the time. Bill Clinton was involved with the CIA at this time and $100 million worth of cocaine was coming through the Mena, Arkansas airport each month. For proof see the books ‘Compromise’ and ‘Dope Inc’.

Big Pharma: Runaway Criminality And Fraud !

  • The history of modern western medical education and Big Pharma are tied up with the 13 Satanic bloodlines: Rothschild-Rockefeller. (emphasis mine)
    -
    Eustace Mullins: Murder by Injection!
    … The Merlin who was to wave his magic wand and bring about this dramatic development in the medical profession turned out to be none other than the richest man in the world, the insatiable monopolist, John D. Rockefeller. Fresh from his triumph of organizing his gigantic oil monopoly, a victory as well-blooded as any ancient Roman triumph, Rockefeller, the creature of the House of Rothschild and its Wall Street emissary, Jacob Schiff, realized that a medical monopoly might bring him even greater profits than his oil trust. In 1892, Rockefeller appointed Frederick T. Gates as his agent, conferring upon him the title of “head of all his philanthropic endeavors.” As it turned out, each of Rockefeller’s well-publicized “philanthropies” was specifically designed to increase not only his wealth and power, but also the wealth and power of the hidden figures whom he so ably represented.
    -
    Frederick T. Gates’ first present to Rockefeller was a plan to dominate the entire medical education system in the United States. The initial step was taken by the organization of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. In 1907, the AMA “requested” the Carnegie Foundation to conduct a survey of all the medical schools of the nation. Even at this early date, the Rockefeller interests had already achieved substantial working control of the Carnegie Foundations which has been maintained ever since. It is well known in the foundation world that the Carnegie Foundations (there are several), are merely feeble adjuncts of the Rockefeller Foundation. The Carnegie Foundation named one Abraham Flexner to head up its study of medical schools. Coincidentally, his brother Simon was the head of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. … He had been a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. This school had been established by Daniel Coit Gilman (1831-1908). Gilman had been one of the three original incorporators of the Russell Trust at Yale University (now known as the Brotherhood of Death) …. Not surprisingly, the American people found themselves saddled with even more debt and an even more oppressive federal bureaucracy, all the result of Daniel Coit Gilman’s Illuminati prospectus.

Jeffrey Saut: It’s a Systemic Problem, I’m Not Sure It Can Be Fixed !

The Eurozone Titanic is sinking!

  • Saut – The Systemic Problem, I’m Not Sure It Can Be Fixed ! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    With continued volatility in global markets, today King World News interviewed Jeffrey Saut, Chief Investment Strategist for Raymond James, which has $360 billion assets under management.  Saut spoke with KWN about Europe and warned, “As I’ve always said, the systemic problem, I’m not sure can be fixed.”   He also warned about possible conflict with Iran and class warfare, but first, here is what Saut had to say about the crisis in Europe:  “I think Europe took a step in the right direction a couple of weeks ago.  It was consistent with what I’ve been saying year, that when push came to shove that politicians, bureaucrats and bankers are the same over there as they are over here, and when you get to the ‘nth’ hour they are going to paper over ‘Euroquake’ and try to buy more time.”

    “In this particular instance I think the papering over was significant in some of the measures they took.  It actually looked like the first step in the right direction, ever.  Every three months I think they are going to have to come back and do some more QE-whatever it is over there, and try to continue to buy more time. As I’ve always said, the systemic problem, I’m not sure can be fixed….

Expect More Chaos As The Elites Are Now Totally Discredited !

Global collapse super storm is coming! Graphic source: http://akhater.deviantart.com

  • Expect More Chaos As The Elites Are Now Totally Discredited ! 
    by www.kingworldnews.com
    Today legendary value investor, Jean Marie Eveillard, told KWN that elites throughout the world are discredited.  Eveillard, who oversees $50 billion at First Eagle Funds, also said, “The implications (if the trend continues) would be a chaotic or semi-chaotic period.  If the economy does not recover, in what would appear to be a sustainable manner, then the politicians will be under pressure to take very unusual steps.”
    -
    He also discussed the gold market, but first, here is what Eveillard had to say about the danger elites and bankers are facing:  “Elites are discredited, not just in the US but throughout the world, including possibly in China if the economy there continues to do poorly.  And it’s not just government elites, it’s also business elites, particularly financial elites in many countries, including the US, the bankers and the like.  They will end up hanging a few.  I suppose I’ll be spared because I’m too old.”

World Mum on Israel Threatening Peace!

  • Noted Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared
    by
    http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/

    Noted Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared, stressing that Israel also considers Europe a hostile target.
    -
    This came in a press interview broadcast by the seventh Hebrew radio and was translated on Wednesday into Arabic by the press information analysis and study center.
    -
    “We have hundreds of nuclear warheads and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital,” Creveld said, adding that most of the European capitals would become preferred targets for the Israeli air force.
    -
    The Israeli historian reiterated Israel’s ability to destroy the whole world whenever it felt its existence would be doomed to extinction. As for the Palestinians, the historian said that Israel at the present time pursues a specific strategy based on mass deportation of the Palestinian people and has intentions to expel all Palestinians without exception, but it is awaiting the right moment to take this step.
    -
    “Two years ago, there was only seven to eight percent of the Israelis believing in this solution towards the Palestinians and just two months ago this percentage rose amongst the Israelis to 33 percent, but today, according to a survey conducted by Gallup institute, this figure surged to 55 percent,” he noted.
    -
    The historian highlighted that Israel must take advantage of any incident that would give it a golden opportunity to expel the Palestinians as happened in Deir Yassin massacre in 1948.
    -
    Replying to a question whether Israel does not have fears of being classified as a criminal state if it expelled Palestinians, he said, “Israel is a state that does not care about what others say about it and you must remember the saying of former defense minister Moshe Dayan when he said that ‘Israel must always act as a wild dog because it should be dangerous in the eyes of others, rather than be harmed.’”
    -
  • Alan Hart, Author of Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews
    I want to quote to you now from one of my Panorama interviews with Golda Meir …. “Prime Minister I want to be sure I understand what you’re saying… You are saying that if ever Israel was in danger of being defeated on the battlefield, it would be prepared to take the region and the whole world down with it?” Without the shortest of pauses for reflection, Golda replied: “Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.” ….. How, actually, would the Zionist state of Israel take at least the region down with it? It would arm its nuclear missiles, target Arab capitals, then fire the missiles.

Revelation 2:9 – …. and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“ … it turns out the creation of Israel had not, after all, been a haphazard fight in which the Arabs fled their homes at the directives of their own leaders, but it had been an unprovoked, systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing by the Jewish militia involving massacres, terrorism and the wholesale looting of an entire nation.” - from 4:22 onwards

Dr. Doom: “The 2013 Perfect Storm Scenario Is Unfolding”!

  • Emphasis mine:
    -
    Dr. Doom: “The 2013 Perfect Storm Scenario Is Unfolding”! 
    by Mac Slavo,
    http://www.shtfplan.com/
     

    There is no hiding the fact that the global economy is now teetering on the real possibility of a complete meltdown – one that promises to be far worse than the financial crisis of 2008.
    -
    Dr. Doom Nouriel Roubini, often cited by mainstream and alternative analysts alike, says that we are now in the midst of the “perfect storm” he detailed at the 2012 Skybridge Alternative Conference in Las Vegas in which he forecast a world-wide economic “train wreck”. Among other things, Roubini warned that the United States would fall back into recession, stock markets would go into a tailspin, Europe would begin to break up, emerging markets – namely China – would experience major slowdowns, and military conflict in Iran would lead to further geo-political turbulence. According to Roubini, that ‘Perfect Storm” scenario has now taken hold:
    -
    The 2013 perfect storm scenario I wrote on months ago is unfolding,” Roubini said… …Roubini said that unlike in 2008 when central banks had “policy bullets” to stimulate the global economy, this time around policymakers are “running out of rabbits to pull out of the hat.”

    “Levitational force of policy easing can only temporarily lift asset prices as gravitational forces of weaker fundamentals dominate over time,” he said. Source: CNBC 
    -
    It should be markedly clear that those green shoots which reportedly appeared to be sprouting in the summer of 2009 were nothing but conjecture promoted by governments and financial institutions in an attempt to maintain confidence and stability in the system.

    -
    That perceived stability will soon be overcome with a whirlwind of panic that could very well lead to a total destabilization of the economic, financial and geo-political systems as they exist today. In the United States the signs are readily apparent.
    -
    Retail sales for the month of June have collapsed, with fully two-thirds of retailers in America reporting lower than expected sales numbers – the WORST sales numbers in three years.
    -
    Although there are no simple answers for the retail downturn,a lack of consumer confidence is widely believed to have been the driving force behind June’s dismal sales figures. “Consumers are holding back, cautious and losing confidence,” said IHS Global Insight economist Chris Christopher.
    -
    Employment isn’t fairing any better, with the US having created just 80,000 jobs last month, a far cry from the millions predicted by Vice President Joe Biden after President Obama took office in early 2009. Americans and Europeans – the driving force behind global consumption – have no jobs, are out of money, and their credit cards are maxed out.
    -
    Record breaking numbers of Americans are on food stamps, prices for essential goods and services are continuously rising as inflation takes hold, and the only arrow left in the governments’s quiver seems to be to borrow trillions upon trillions of dollars just to make ends meet and pay the interest on our previous loans.
    -
    By all accounts, the entire system from top to bottom is completely broke and on the verge of insolvency. Prepare for the next wave. It’s coming and it can’t be stopped.

Endgame in Syria And Iran Risks War with China And Russia!

  • The sheeple will never awaken to what is really happening, unfortunately. The Illuminist plan is: global economic, financial and monetary collapse leading to their Satanic World War 3! This world war is really about getting 1 group of sheeple to kill another group of sheeple using false pretexts. It is Zionist West and their allies vs Muslim World and their allies. At the end of this war, both the Muslim world and Zionist ’666′ Israel, the Satanic counterfeit , will be destroyed. IMO, the Greater Middle East war will be nuclear. I do not think nuclear weapons will be used outside of the Middle East. However, bio-weapons, race specific weaponized Bird Flu will be employed.
    -
  • The Illuminists want to show the world the true nature and horror of the nuclear armed Zionist state. They want to destroy this Satanic counterfeit as part of their plan to destroy Christianity. Many Christian sheeple will fall when they see this nation destroyed. They have been taught the lie that Zionist ’666′ Israel, modern non semitic Ashekenazi Khazars (90+% of modern Jewry) are the Jews of the Bible! This is a LIE! (emphasis mine)

    Endgame in Syria and Iran Risks War with China and Russia
    by Kurt Nimmo, www.Infowars.com 
    Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul of Beacon Equity Research predicts that the coming conflict with Syria will be the trigger event that takes down the U.S. dollar. A military response to Syria and Iran would likely draw in Russia and China, he warns, and the result would be a conflagration the world has not witnessed since the Second World War.
    -
    “Cold War-like comments made at the ‘Friends of Syria’ conference in Paris by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton toward Russia and China strongly suggest that a showdown between the former Cold War rivals, now to include China, is on.” he writes. “The prize: oil – and by implications the future of the U.S. petrodollar standard and the American way of life.
    -
    On Friday, during a meeting with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Friends of the Syrian People (an umbrella organization created by Nicholas Sarkozy), Clinton demanded China and Russia pay a price for not supporting military action against Syria and its leader, Bashar al-Assad. Russia and China are “holding up progress and blockading it,” she insisted.
    -
    The Syrian opposition used the meeting in Paris to call for a “no-fly zone” in Syria, a move Russia opposes. A similar no-fly zone in Libya last year announced by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, was used to attack the north African country with Tomahawk cruise missiles and target air defense facilities, tanks, and artillery.
    -
    At least 30,000 people were killed and 50,000 wounded as a result of NATO bombing and attacks by U.S.-supported and armed rebels that included members of al-Qaeda.
    -
    In November, Paul Joseph Watson wrote that the “same Al-Qaeda terrorists who fought U.S. troops in Iraq and helped NATO overthrow Colonel Gaddafi are now being airlifted into Syria to aid rebels there in toppling President Bashar al-Assad.”
    -
    Also in November, Milliyet, a major Turkish newspaper, reported that France had sent its military trainers to Turkey and Lebanon to aid the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA). The FSA is supported by the British intelligence asset the Muslim Brotherhood and the al-Qaeda infested National Transitional Council in Libya.
    -
    In order for the coordinated attack to work in deposing al-Assad and arranging a government amenable to the bankster elite, Russia and China will require persuasion to drop their opposition:
    -
    The U.S. Secretary of State went on to accuse Russia, China and Iran of supporting Syria’s Assad regime economically and militarily, and called upon other nations to comply with UN sanctions levied upon Syria – sanctions which would also include refusing oil shipments from Syria’s vital economic support and trusted ally, Iran.  But for continued sanctions against Syria to be effective, “much will remain dependent on persuading the two reluctant powers [Russia and China] to pressure Assad into action [of peaceful regime change in Syria],” according to Canada’s CBCNews.
    -
    Though, Russia and China have already agreed to a peaceful resolution to the Syrian civil war, signing off on the Security Council plan drafted by former-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, it’s more likely that Moscow and Beijing are playing politics of cooperation to buy more time for the Assad regime. Russia and China do not want regime change in yet another Middle Eastern country for a host of economic and political reasons, of which, the primary one is to stop the U.S. from controlling the region’s oil supplies to Russia’s ally and co-founding member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), China.
    -
    Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul cites authors John Barry and Dan Ephron, who highlighted in 2004 during the height of neocon control of the Pentagon the central role of Syria in the effort to destabilize and topple disfavored regimes in the Middle East.
    -
    “Syria and Iran have been targets of interest of the U.S. for quite some time, as Washington under the George W. Bush Administration had known that a day would come when the U.S. and China would bang heads for precious crude supplies in the Middle East,” writes de Kevelioc de Bailleul.
    -
    “Whether it’s the Obama Administration or another neocon U.S. president in control of the executive branch, the petrodollar standard must be defended in the Middle East.  The Iranian/Syrian alliance has stood in the way of total U.S. dominance in the region, but now the matter has become urgent following Iran’s announcement in Feb. 2012, that it has broken ranks in the petrodollar scheme.  It now will not accept the dollar as payment for Persian oil.”
    -
    Pentagon wargame plans, Barry and Ephron note, would go badly for the United States. “The war games were unsuccessful at preventing the conflict from escalating,” they write for Newsweek.
    -
    Despite the risk of finally toppling the hegemony of the U.S. dollar and destroying dominance of the petrodollar, Obama and Clinton (and, if selected, Romney and his virulent clan of neocons) are determined to push forward with an endgame involving Syria (the fifteenth largest military in the world; 325,000 active troops) and Iran (the ninth largest military at 523,000 active troops).
    -
    “Either the U.S. dollar temporarily withstands an all-out war against the most formidable foes since the Germany-Japan-Italy axis of WWII, or it doesn’t,” Dominique de Kevelioc de Bailleul concludes. “But in the end, odds heavily favor an abandonment of the dollar as the world’s premier reserve currency; it’s just become too much trouble for too many nations, now.  The conditioning of the U.S. population to expect a heavy-handed government continues unchecked and unchallenged by the Congress, because internally Washington knows the dollar’s days are numbered – and it could be as close as the day of next scheduled military conflict in the Middle East.”
