The lawsuit that could end the gangster rule of Western civilization

November 24^th, 2011

A lawsuit was filed today (November 23^rd US time) that could end the secret government that has ruled Western civilization for at least the past 300 years. The lawsuit claims that close to $1 trillion was stolen by, among others, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and the UN, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the Italian government, Giancarlo Bruno and the Davos World Economic forum and others believed to include many of the owners of the US Federal Reserve Board. The lawsuit was filed in New York by Neil Keenan, acting as representative of the Dragon family, a reclusive group of wealthy Asian families. This filing is the result of extensive evidence gathering by international police and law-enforcement agencies including Interpol, the CIA, the Japanese Security Police, Eastern European secret services and has the backing of the Pentagon as well as the armed forces of Russia and China.

The ultimate defendants in this legal action are believed to be the same cabal behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy and many other major international crimes.

03JUN09 U.S. Federal Reserve Note Series 1934 interest coupon bond face valued at $1,000,000,000.00 (USD) billion each, that were seized from two ( 2 ) Japan nationals in Italy enroute to Switzerland

This particular lawsuit was triggered by the illegal detainment of two Japanese citizens,  Akihiko Yamaguchi and Mitsuyoshi Watanabe, as well as the seizure of $134.5 billion in bonds they were holding in Italy on June 3, 2009. After the bonds were stolen, self-described 33^rd degree Freemason Leo Zagami contacted this writer and said the Montecarlo P2 masonic lodge could cash the bonds with the help of Vatican banker Daniel Dal Bosco. This writer forwarded the information, via a member of the UK Royal family, to the dragon family who entrusted a further $1 trillion worth of similar bonds to the plaintiff Neil Keenan. Keenan then, after much negotiation, entrusted the bonds to Dal Bosco.

Dal Bosco subsequently absconded with the bonds and was followed 24-hours a day by various intelligence service agents to see what he would do with them. The Dal Bosco trail led to the Davos World forum, the UN, the Italian government and the Vatican, among other places. Following this, Keenan was approached by a who’s who of powerful figures including top Vatican officials, Wall Street bankers, European nobles and former US presidents, most offering him astronomical bribes to go away. He was also poisoned with ricin and nearly killed.

According to Keenan “The roots of this case go back to between 1927 and 1938, when, under arrangements made between T.V. Soong (Finance Minister of China) and Henry Morgethau, Secretary of the Treasury, The United States Government purchased some 50 million ounces of silver and leased vast amounts of gold from the Nationalist Chinese Government, known as Kuomintang. For all the treasure handed in, certificates were given to those who surrendered their precious metals.”

Many of the bonds seized by Dal Bosco are backed with the Chinese gold taken by the Federal Reserve Board during those years and never returned to its legal owners.

Other bonds seized were Kennedy bonds. These bonds were backed by gold held in trust for the people of the planet and were supposed to be used to finance the economic development of the world. Instead they have mostly been stolen and misused by members of the cabal that has seized control of the Western financial system on behalf of private interests.

The original signatory to the Kennedy bonds was former Indonesian President Soekarno. Soekarno’s heir Dr. Seno Edy Soekanto has given Keenan power of attorney to return to their rightful owners the Kennedy bonds and other property allocated to the people of the world via something known as the global collateral accounts.

The lawsuit is only the first salvo in a legal battle to restore control of the global financial system to the people and governments of the world as well as the rightful owners of historical assets that have been seized by members of the banking cartel.

The lawsuit has been filed as Civil Action #8500 at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on November 23, 2011.

Background information on the problems with the global financial system

By Neil Keenan and Keith Scott.

The entire cause of the problem.

The United States is a private corporation owned by the British Crown (Rothchilds), the Bank of England (Rothchilds) and the Vatican (Rothchilds again). It was previously called the Virginia Company until 3/9/33 when it was dissolved by Roosevelt under the Emergency Banking Act. On 5/5/33 Congress elected to dissolve the Gold Standard and Sovereign Authority of the U.S. and all of its official capacities including government offices, departments and officers. The U.S. is a corporation, not a nation. The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor a Reserve. It is a private counterfeiting organization run by Jewish bankers who lend the money they print out of thin air at interest while we keep on paying these criminals to fleece the People.

That technology of theft and deception that has been exported from the United States through their promotion of this fraud as the paradigm of global finance is an obscenity that has set the seeds of its own destruction.

This has been compounded by the refusal of ordinary people to realize, know and understand that it is the duplicity of Governments and the deceit and endless greed of bankers that combined to simply fleece them like the apathetic sheep they are. Apathy and ignorance of the truth, creates belief in the lie. The truth is self-evident, but most people choose to neither hear it nor understand it. The debts of the Federal Reserve are the debts of a private corporation that is robbing the people of the United States.

The United States Dollar is a Federal Reserve Note and the obligations against the currency are the obligations of the Federal Reserve, not the people of the United States.

Understanding the History

1.  Between 1927 and 1938, under arrangements made between T.V.Soong (Finance Minister of China) and Henry Morgethau, Secretary of the Treasury, The United States Government purchased some 50 million ounces of silver and leased vast amounts of gold from the Nationalist Chinese Government, known as Kuomintang. During this period China was partly occupied by Japanese troops and there was the fear of China being overrun by the Japanese.

2.  For all the treasure handed in, certificates were given to those who surrendered their precious metals. The surrendered precious metals and gemstones were sent to the United States under a lease agreement made between T.V. Soong and Henry Morgenthau. The Certificates became the underlying funds of the Kuomintang and were good and accepted securities.

3. In 1934 a new Securities Act was promulgated in the United States, together with the Gold Act, which required all bullion gold and gold coin to be surrendered to the Federal Reserve, a private corporation chartered to operate as the Central Bank of the United States and to be the issuer of the currency known as the United States Dollar.

4.  Domestically owned gold was purchased. Foreign Gold held by the Treasury was also surrendered to the Federal Reserve, so, was leased to the Federal Reserve. This began the series 1934 Notes issued by the Federal Reserve. These have never been redeemed and the interest cost was met by further issuances of the 1934 series FRN’s.

5. These 1934 FRN’s guarantee the lease payments and to allow the Chinese Government to continue financially. These came under the control of the Kuomintang, the Nationalist Government in China from whom the Gold had been received.  Many were left in China when the Kuomintang had to flee to Taiwan. The Gold had been nationalized by the Kuomintang who moved much of the FRN’s (but not all) to Taiwan  which was built on these notes. These Notes were the underlying wealth of Taiwan and they were good for value as they were backed by gold.

6. During the war in China, most owners of the depository notes issued by Chinese Banks were killed by the Japanese, others later being killed by both the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists, thus the Gold became property of the Nation, especially so, the Kuomintang. In Europe, Jews who had owned wealth were stripped of that wealth through various means and were then eliminated. The gold was taken either by stealth or by force, that is a reality of history.

7. The Kuomintang appointed guardians of this Gold and the securities issued by the United States; they are euphemistically known as the Dragon Family.  The Dragon Family is in fact an organization that operates between old families within China and Taiwan, and as such is above the political divide of the two independent Chinese Governments. Chinese are remarkable in this regard, that old family ties and functions supercede political arrangements which, though they might last for generations, are regarded as inconsequential over the passage of time to most Chinese. Attached to this is the wealth of several nations. The United States in support of the Kuomintang and resistance groups actually printed more of these FRN notes inside China itself. These operations were run by the CIA to buy loyalty of various factions in the fight against the communists, eventually being driven out into Burma around 1960. Largely due to the additional printing of these notes, the additional Notes were given in lieu of interest, but directed to specific persons and parties.

8.  At the end of the World War II, with Communist and Kuomintang factions at war in China, the International Community and the Chinese assented to the Gold being placed under the overt control of Indonesian President Soekarno.  Soekarno then, on August 17, 1945, came to be known as M1 under United Nations Approval No. MISA 81704  “Operation Heavy Freedom. This was because much of the world’s gold had been delivered into Indonesia and the Philippines. Canada, Australia, Great Britain, India and other British Colonies sent their gold to the so called “impregnable Singapore”.  The Japanese, as per the arrangements agreed to by Hirohito in the 1921 Pact Between Nations made in London, delivered much of this gold to Indonesia (Then a Dutch Colony) and to Philippines (Then a US Colony) into secret bunkers that had been mostly constructed by the Japanese between 1924 and 1945. This is why the Allied troops in Malaya had no air cover or sufficient supplies to that would have allowed them to resist the Japanese. Singapore had to fall so most of the global wealth could be “lost” into a secret system that made the gold standard redundant and fiat currencies a reality.

This gold was documented into accounts through the Swiss Commercial Bank Union Bank of Switzerland, placed under protection of the Swiss Attorney General, registered through the Swiss National Bank into the Bank for International Settlements International Collateral Combined accounts and then from within the BIS, blocked to form the Institutional Parent Registration Accounts of the Federal Reserve System.

Later President Marcos of the Philippines was appointed and held the position of M1 until 1987 and then the position was transferred to Dr. Ray C. Dam, in October of 1987, under Legal Decadency to Heir RCD1087 Far East Entire with formal Power of Attorney and Assignment of Indonesian Assets signed by Sarinah Soetiwi  (holder of the assets on behalf of the Nation of Indonesia as assigned by President Soekarno) in 1992, Dam’s authority later promulgated January 20, 1995. Dam proved to be impossible for the entire system to work with, (either because he refused to allow those who placed him in authority to steal, or because of his personal arrogance…. Difficult to know which is correct) and his authority over the Institutional parent registration Accounts set aside and the system reverted to the three Nations who had controlled these accounts since World war II, United States, Great Britain and France, who systematically and illegally subverted the established system since 1996.

9.  From this we can see that there are two functional operations. One was ownership and Depository control by the owners of the Gold and the other a control system set in place to administer and control the Collateral Combined Accounts as an independent Arbiter.  Ownership rights are held by the signatory to the Depository Accounts in Commercial Banks and Control Rights have been held by M1.

10. So it was, that the entire world supply of bullion and coinage gold was withdrawn and fiat currencies became the order of the day. However, underneath the notes and money issued by the Federal Reserve was the underlying wealth within a centralized system that Nations was intended to be used equitably, but Bankers determined they would use to raid national economies.

11.  In 1963, President John F. Kennedy entered into an Agreement with President Soekarno to provide the funds to allow the United States Treasury to print its own currency, thus subverting the “right” to print the currency held by the Federal Reserve. The Agreement would have transferred some 59,000 tons of gold to underpin this currency. The problem with this was that the US domestic currency would have then been backed by gold which would have been a violation of international agreements meant to stabilize currencies.  11 days after signing this agreement, President Kennedy was assassinated.  President Johnson the suspended EO11110 as issued by Kennedy and transferred the bullion to the Federal Reserve. The Green Hilton Agreement was not implemented until 1968 when Soekarno fell from office and when Global Trade made it imperative that the world have a Global Currency. As the Gold had been transferred to the US Treasury in 1968, a series of Bonds known as Kennedy Bonds were issued in order to honor the terms of the Green Hilton Agreement made between Kennedy and Soekarno, the 1968 terms of the gold delivery to the United States being different than made in 1934.  When after 30 years, interest had not been paid as promised, a reissue of the bonds in an increased number were issued as commemorative notes and were accepted by the owners of the Gold, the Dragon Family.

12. From copies of Bank documents received by Neil Keenan, within the Green Hilton Memorial Agreement, the funds the amounts of gold and platinum are specified. These amounts of gold are certificated and the certificates and ledger copies with full and exact identification and recognition codes are available. These certificates are further proven by the bank reports, copies of which are now held by Neil Keenan. The truth of these instruments can be vigorously defended through documentation in our hands and further through interrogation of the Black Screens where the off ledger collateral is held, together with an interrogation of the grey and blue screens where we will find enormous fraud from the illegal use of these assets.

13. In the few documents we present with this complaint we can see that the assets have been deposited, the counter-assets created and presented to the depositors, the depositors have been cheated for over 70 years through the intentional and fraudulent failure of the Obligor to honor the Agreements.

14. In recent weeks we have come into possession of the books and records of the late President Soekarno, and all the codes and ledgers of the Global Accounts. The size of these accounts can be seen by reviewing the Collective Agreement between the Garuda Memorial Hilton Indonesia and the Green Memorial Hilton Geneva, established, structured and made operational between 1961 and final signature in 1972. Under this Agreement the assets of the international collateral combined were established and brought forward, then, within a short period of time misused to change the operating systems of banks.

15. Reviewing these books, we can now see that Banks set aside the notion of operating under the Charters they hold as banks, instead of being Banks they became like very poor casino operators and traders, selling what they do not own. The records in our possession, signed and registered by the receiving and managing commercial bank, show the underlying funds in numbers and amounts that stagger the imagination. The Green Hilton and Garuda Memorial Agreements demonstrate clearly the value of the global account system.

a)  Gold and Platinum Deposits ran into millions of tons.

b)  1934 series Federal Reserve System Bonds, Notes issued in 1928 , Kennedy Bonds ran into Quadrillions of US Dollars, Dragon Bonds are all recorded and acknowledged within the Green Hilton and Memorial Hilton Collective Agreements. Both Assets in the form of Bullion surrendered to the Global Accounts through the United States Government and then entrusted to a private corporation, the Federal Reserve System.

....during my research I have learned that the story of the disappeared Japanese war loot is connected with several other stories, secrets, military, and political events in the United States, Germany, Soviet Union, and Far East. To hide these connections, the United States has manipulated the history with a massive suppression of historical facts and events.

Two ( 2 ) examples only:

Have you ever heard about the Russian invasion plans of Japan in 1945?

What do you know about the secret mission of the American "Target Intelligence Committee" ( TICOM ) in March 1945 thru April 1945 in Germany and especially, what Truman learned thanks to TICOM about the soviet plans already in the Spring of 1945 ( I don't speak about the "Project Venona" )?

What Truman has learned thanks to TICOM is still - nearly 60 years after WW II - one of the biggest state secrets of the United States. The documents remain classified.

These things as well as many other events between 1939 und 1945 - among them one of the most spectacular war crimes of WW II - the U.S. government is hiding till today to prevent, that their connection to the gold looted by Japan and the embezzlement of the booty by the United States becomes known.

One part (of three parts) of the Japanese precious-metal-booty in 1945 was hid on the more than 7000 islands of the Philippines and was recovered mainly between 1971 and 1986. First the recovering was planed as an American-Philippine joint venture operation. But soon Marcos started to work on his own account, recovered and embezzled most of the gold. The result of this arbitrary deeds of Marcos was the fall of the dictator with the help of the CIA in 1986.

That was the moment, the United States finally were able to embezzle the third ( 3rd ) and last part of the Japanese war loot. After the death of Marcos in 1989 the twice-embezzled Japanese loot hidden on the Philippines was definitive disappeared.

But the corrupt oligarchy of power in the Philippines - approximately 400 family clans - knew about the part of the loot original hidden in their country, recovered by Marcos and embezzled twice. They still want a part of it.

That is the actual situation in connection with PCGG on the lookout for the Marcos' billions they are trying to find now since nearly 18-years without much success. The situation for the United States is very delicate. Their ex-accomplices are trying to blackmail them ( read the Philippine newspapers which you find online in the www ).

Since years the American negotiations on this subjects with the different Philippine governments were held backstage mostly. Both parties are knowing, that they can't discuss openly about the embezzled gold, otherwise it could impulse an international discussion about the "disappeared" Japanese loot as it happened in Europe in connection with Nazi - Raubgold some years ago. It could become known not only the existence of gold looted by Japan, but the embezzlement by the United States too.

An international discussion about this subject could have uncovered the incredible secrets behind the gold-secret and the therewith-connected politics and crimes during WW II.

"Uncle Sam" would stay in the center of international critics, much more as actually in connection with the events in the Near and Middle East.

To prevent such a situation, the U.S. Intelligence Agencies are running a disinformation campaign in connection with Marcos gold certficates since 1986.

They have produced and distributed by their global intelligence network fakes of Marcos gold certificates in more or less good quality, with the aim, to transform the upcoming rumors about the embezzlement of the Japanese loot into a legend.

                ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...."during the last 2-years I read several hundred articles published by newspapers around the world in connection with Marcos gold certificates.

With no article it was possible to verify, who has printed the faked gold certificates.

Sometimes names and locations where mentioned, but the people supposed to be involved in the forgeries had no biography which could be verified, they were like ghosts. They entered the scene suddenly then disappeared in the same way and were nowhere anymore to locate. They had no biography, which could have been screened or traced back, like in the case of William Morales in Thailand and the Philippines, like in the case of Michael Meiring, like in the case of Karl Dietlich Salzleder, like in the cases of Chase Tisoni and Edilberto del Carmen and many others. In the case of Edilberto del Carmennot even his exact age is known. Authorities have spread around adverse and bewildered information.

To understand all this, it is necessary to go back to the history of Word War II and the post-war years and to scrutinize rumors and research the historical information about gold looted by Japan during WW II, which I have done during the last 2-years by studying thousands of documents from the U.S. National Archives, British Foreign Office archive, as well as Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hongkong, Japan, South-Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and the former Soviet Union.

Fact is, that Japan looted gold systematically in twelve ( 12 ) Asian countries, which I am able to prove, and the fact is that the gold looted by Japan has "disappeared" under mysterious circumstances after World War II.

If you have time to look in the Final Report of Edwin Pauley he has written by order of Truman in 1945 or in the Reports of General Douglas MacArthur, or if you compare the Charta of the Nuremberg trial with the Charta of the Tokio trial - what no historian up to now has done - you will get a first idea about what happened with Japanese war loot. Also read the "american definition" of restitution in the Pauley Report.

Try to inform yourself about some of the historical facts, which - until today - you will not find in American or European history books.

Have you ever heard about Soviet plans of an invasion of Japan in 1945? Or, about the reasons why General Marshall sent "Target Intelligence Committees" (TICOM ) to Germany in March and April 1945? And, more importantly, which information Truman was able to receive because of TICOM in April 1945?

Have you heard or could you read in history books something about the British drafts of the San Francisco Peace Treaty and why John Foster Dulles gave the British government an order they were not allowed to mention ( "looted gold" and not even the single word "gold" ) in their drafts.

Those are only a few of several hundred manipulations that can be proven in connection with the "disappeared" - better identified as "embezzled" - gold looted by Japan before.

All these facts are connected with two ( 2 ) horrible events - August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945 - to prevent a Russian occupation zone on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. With the Russians in Japan, it would been impossible to embezzle the gold looted by Japan during World War II.

Try to analyse the USGS gold statistics - as I have done and with experts - und you will find out they are faked in such a way that gold, which came into possession of the United States after WW II, was attached to pre-war statistics, but remember, pre-war statistics were first published in 1975. You will understand, why the USGS is publishing gold production figures of 100,000 metric tons for the 'last' century, while Gold Field Minerals is publishing 140,000 tons and James Turk 126,000 tons - a difference of 14,000 to 40,000 tons! Do you remember gold experts calculated that, since WW II, huge quantities of "black gold" is flown on the international market, without finding an explanation for that mystery?

Are you beginning to get a vague picture?

Now you are on the way to understanding why a disinformation campaign - in connection with Marcos gold certificates - was established immediately after the death of Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1989. After the "Tokio Gold" and the "Pacific Gold" ( in Japanese ship wrecks, which were salvaged since 1954; salvage plans for large depths of water are in preparation just now ) was already secretly embezzled. Marcos became a danger for the United States, because he embezzled most of the part of the Japanese war loot on the Philippines.

Questions concerning the origin of Marcos' legendary wealth were asked worldwide in 1986 and became therefore a danger for the United States too because it could lead to the gold looted by Japan, which was embezzled already by the United States before. A lead to the real motive of August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945.

Why do you think the United States never established a fact-finding committee for the Far East as they did with the Eizenstat Committee concerning Germany?

Why do you think claims of compensations for victims of Japan atrocities as well as claims of American POW's were rejected in America and Japan courts referring to the San Francisco Peace Treaty of John Foster Dulles?

Try to see the mysteries concerning the faked Marcos gold certificates in an historical and international context."

Βρετανικό σχέδιο εκκένωσης από την Ελλάδα!

αναδημοσίευση απο εδω / reposted from here

Άκρως απόρρητο ενημερωτικό σημείωμα που έφτασε στην βρετανική πρεσβεία της Αθήνας όπως αναφέρουν πληροφορίες του defencenet.gr, δίνει οδηγίες έτσι ώστε ότι η διπλωματική αντιπροσωπεία της χώρας στην Αθήνα, πρέπει να είναι έτοιμη να παράσχει "κάθε απαραίτητη βοήθεια ώστε να προστατεύσουν και να προσφέρουν κάθε βοήθεια στους Βρετανούς πολίτες που κατοικούν στην Ελλάδα, όταν η χώρα βγει από το ευρώ και ξεσπάσουν ταραχές"!

Το εντυπωσιακό είναι ότι οι εντολές αφορούν παροχή προστασίας και σχέδιο εκκένωσης από την Ελλάδα των Βρετανών καθώς θεωρούνται "αναπόφευκτες οι ανεξέλεγκτες κοινωνικές αναταραχές"!

Έχουν μάλιστα προσδιοριστεί σημεία συγκέντρωσης και τρόπο αποχώρησης των Βρετανών από την Ελλάδα, ακόμα και "ειδικές επιχειρήσεις" τύπου Λιβύης για να επιστρέψουν ασφαλείς στην χώρα οι Βρετανοί πολίτες

Η εφημερίδα Telegraph επιβεβαιώνει αυτές τις πληροφορίες και ανώτατο στέλεχος της βρετανικής κυβέρνησης ανέφερε πριν λίγο στην εφημερίδα πως η κατάρρευση του ευρώ είναι απλώς θέμα χρόνου και ως εκ τούτου οι πρεσβείες στις χώρες της ευρωζώνης πρέπει να βοηθήσουν  τους πολίτες που βρίσκονται σε αυτές τις χώρες, είτε με την παροχή οικονομικής βοήθειας είτε λόγω ανεξέλεγκτων κοινωνικών αναταραχών. 
Οι βρετανικές πρεσβείες θα φροντίσουν να παρέχουν ρευστό σε όσους πολίτες της χώρας δεν θα μπορέσουν να πάρουν λεφτά από τις τράπεζες της ευρωζώνης, λόγω της κατάρρευσης του ευρώ(!) αναφέρει χαρακτηριστικά η εφημερίδα!

The European project is now sustained by coup

Daniel Hannan

What we have witnessed is a coup d’état: bloodless and genteel, but a coup d’état none the less. In Athens and in Rome, elected prime ministers have been toppled in favour of Eurocrats – respectively a former Vice-President of the European Central Bank and a former European Commissioner. Both countries now have what are called ‘national governments’, though they have been put together for the sole purpose of implementing policies that would be rejected in a general election.

Italy and Greece are satrapies of Brussels, just as surely as Bosnia or Kosovo. In its Balkan protectorates, the EU overtly favours technocracy as the antidote to ‘populism’ (ie, democracy). Left to themselves, the locals have a tendency to vote for parties that want ethnographic frontiers. The EU's solution is to rule through a series of appointed governors – diplomats (and the odd retired politician) in Bosnia, generals in Kosovo.

Now, like many previous empires, the EU is applying lessons learned through colonial administration to its metropolitan core. Politicians who lean too closely to what their voters want are removed. I don’t mean, of course, that the EU sent in agents provocateurs on a secret mission to destabilise the Italian and Greek regimes. Nor am I suggesting that Brussels was the sole factor in their downfall. Like Margaret Thatcher in 1990, Silvio Berlusconi and George Papandreou already faced strong domestic opposition; in all three cases, the EU simply gave the final shove.

If this sounds like fanciful, read Fraser Nelson in the current Spectator. Fraser reveals the meetings between bankers and federalist leaders who identified the Italian premier as an obstacle to holding the euro together, and quotes oficials boasting that ‘we’re on our way to moving out Berlusconi’. If this is a conspiracy, it’s what HG Wells called an ‘open conspiracy’.

The putsch is the logical culmination of the European scheme – though many Euro-idealists remain blind to that logic. The EU has always been an anti-democratic project. Lacking popular support, rejected in referendum after referendum, it depends on a tight-knit group of functionaries in the Commission and in the member states. Now, in a crisis, the democratic appurtenances and fripperies are discarded. Technocrats in Brussels deal directly with technocrats in Rome and Athens. The people are cut out altogether.

What’s terrifying is that these ‘technocrats’ caused the disaster in the first place. They decided that the survival of the euro mattered more than the prosperity of its constituent members; they presided over the rise in spending and debt; they deliberately overlooked the debt criteria when the euro was launched so as to admit Italy and Greece. Indeed the new Greek prime minister, Lucas Papademos, was running his country’s central bank at the time.

In appointing these two Euro-apparatchiks, our masters are signalling in the clearest possible way that nothing will change. Closer integration matters more to them than freedom, more than prosperity, more than the rule of law, more than representative government itself.

Daniel Hannan is a writer and journalist, and has been Conservative MEP for South East England since 1999. He speaks French and Spanish and loves Europe, but believes that the European Union is making its constituent nations poorer, less democratic and less free.

THE VERY NARROW SIGHTED NAROPEAN UNION

The name of Europa is of Greek etymology.  It is derived from the Greek roots meaning broad (εὐρ(υ)- eur(u)-) and eye (ὤψ/ὠπ-/ὀπτ- ōps/ōp-/op(t)-), henceEurṓpē, "wide-gazing", "broad of aspect" (compare with glaukōpis (γλαυκῶπις 'grey-eyed') Athena or boōpis (βοὠπις 'ox-eyed') Hera). 
Opposite of wide is narrow, hence the Naropean Union of the 21st century...

Ο ΜΑΓΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΟΖ

ΕΜΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΙΔΙΟΥ

Χωρίς καπνούς -απο την καπνοδόχο του προεδρικού μεγάρου- δημοσιοποιήθηκε -φευ! κι εν τέλει- απο τους τρείς παρευρισκόμενους πολιτικούς αρχηγούς ο νέος πρωθυπουργός, ο κος Λουκάς Παπαδήμος.

Ο κος Λουκάς Παπαδήμος, πετυχημένος διεθνώς ακαδημαικός και καθηγητής της Οικονομικής επιστήμης, καριερίστας ανώτατος διοικητικός τραπεζίτης διεθνούς εμπειρίας, αναγνωρισιμότητας  και εμβέλειας, αναλαμβάνει τις τύχες του Ελληνικού έθνους την ύστατη στιγμή του αδιεξόδου στο οποίο μας οδήγησε η κυβερνητική ανεπάρκεια του απερχόμενου πρωθυπουργού κου Παπανδρέου Γ'.

Ο κος Παπανδρέου, του οποίου τελικά η γνωσιακή καμπύλη σε θέματα παγκόσμιας διακυβέρνησης και η μακροχρόνια συμμετοχή του σε σχετικά διεθνή fora δεν τον βοήθησαν να πλοηγήσει με την επιτυχία ενός Οδυσσέα το λαβωμένο σκαρί της χώρας και την ψυχή του λαού της πίσω στην Ιθάκη με το ταξίδι-εθνική τραγωδία  που σαλπάρισε μεσούσης της καταιγίδας απο το Καστελλόριζο. Το πλοίο του και το πλήρωμά του, δίκην Τιτανικού, δεν άντεξε ούτε τις Σειρήνες και τις Κίρκες των "διεθνών αγορών", ούτε τους Λαιστρυγόνες και τους Κύκλωπες των fora που τον συνόδευσαν στον υπερεικοσιτετράμηνο τοκοφόρο "υπέρ τρίτων" πλου του απο το κακό στο χειρότερο. Στο τέλος, το ραντεβού με το παγόβουνο των "διεθνών αγορών" και την ανυποληψία σε διεθνές επίπεδο ήταν αναπόφευκτο. 
Μιάς και τα διευθυντικά στελέχη κρίνονται απο τα αποτελέσματα, ο κος Παπανδρέου και οι κυβερνήσεις του διεκδικούν παγκόσμια αναγνώριση ειδικού τύπου, μιάς και κατάφεραν επί πρωθυπουργίας του να μετατρέψουν τα ελληνικά κρατικά ομόλογα σε σκουπίδια μηδενικής αξίας -junk status.  
Αν και γνώριζε πολύ καλά και την προσωπική ανεπάρκειά του να διοικήσει το σκάφος μέσα στην κρίση καθώς και την αναποτελεσματικότητα της κομματικής αυλής του να παράγει ανάπτυξη και θέσεις εργασίας - ήδη απο τον έκτο μήνα μετά τις εκλογές του Νοέμβρη του 2009,-  προτίμησε για τους δικούς του "ανεξήγητους" λόγους να φορτώσει με πολλά δις φρέσκα δολλάρια και ευρώ το έλλειμα της χώρας, εκτοξεύοντας το δημόσιο χρέος και τους νέους τόκους τόκων στην στρατόσφαιρα και υποθηκεύοντας εμπραγμάτως και βάσει του αγγλοσαξωνικού δικαίου τους πόρους και την περιουσία του Ελληνικού κράτους για δεκαετίες. 
Βύθισε την κοινωνία στην μιζέρια και την κατάθλιψη καίγοντας την ελπίδα και τις ψυχές, έστειλε δεκάδες χιλιάδες άξιων εργαζομένων στην μετανάστευση, κατέστρεψε χιλιάδες επιχειρήσεις, ανέβασε την ανεργία μιάν ανάσα απο τον οριακό αριθμό του ενός εκατομμυρίου συμπολιτών μας, βύθισε την χώρα στην ύφεση  -6% και τον στασιμοπληθωρισμό , διέλυσε την φοροεισπρακτική μηχανή και όποια φοροδοτική συνείδηση είχε απομείνει, συμπαρέσυρε την Κύπρο στο χείλος της καταστροφής, γελειοποίησε την χώρα στα διεθνή fora...
Και δυστυχώς, ενώ οι διαχειριστές των εταιρειών υπόκεινται μετά απο τέτοια καταστροφή σε πλήθος διαδικασιών απο τις αρχές και τους μετόχους,  ο κος Παπανδρέου καλύπτεται στο απυρόβλητο απο τους συστημκούς νόμους που κόπηκαν και ράφτηκαν απο την κοινοβουλευτική παρέα με σκοπό την θωράκιση των αποτυχημένων και την αποφυγή των όποιων ποινικών ευθυνών για τους επιζήμιους διαχειριστές του κράτους. 






Η τελευταία περίοδος της καταστροφικής Παπανδρεικής διακυβέρνησης, και το περίφημο δημοψήφισμα που προτάθηκε -επισήμως- "απο πασοκικούς εγκεφάλους" ελάχιστες μέρες πρίν την χορήγηση της "δόσης" , άνοιξαν τον δρόμο για την "παραδειγματική τιμωρία" της Ελλάδος απο το δίδυμο Μερκοζύ, την εύσχημη δραπέτευση του κου Παπανδρέου απο τις οχλήσεις των αντιδρώντων και τις διαχειριστικές ευθύνες, καθώς και την έλευση του κου τραπεζίτη στο τιμόνι της χώρας δίκην λυτρωτή, εναν απο μηχανής θεό στην νεοελληνική τραγωδία " Πασοκ εν εξουσία". 


Ετσι λοιπόν, ο νέος πρωθυπουργός θα πρέπει με το "καλημέρα" να εκταμιεύσει απο τους πρώην συναδέλφους του την "έκτη δόση" προς την χώρα του, και να απαντήσει δημοσίως και επι της ουσίας στην αριστερά και τις θέσεις που παρουσιάζονται στο παρακάτω απόσπασμα απο πρόσφατο άρθρο του Ν.Μπογιόπουλου στον Ριζοσπάστη : 

Η "έκτη δόση".

Να, λοιπόν, που πάει - όλη - η 6η δόση, όπως όλες οι προηγούμενες και όλες οι επόμενες:

Μέχρι και το τελευταίο της ευρώ, μέχρι και το τελευταίο σεντ της δόσης πάει στους τοκογλύφους!

Ούτε στους μισθούς, ούτε στις συντάξεις.

Η 6η δόση, μαζί με τα κλεμμένα από τα αλλεπάλληλα χαράτσια που τα φορτώνεται ο ελληνικός λαός ώστε να συμπληρώνονται τα ληξιπρόθεσμα που «χρωστάμε», πάνε στα τοκογλυφικά!

Τι θα πάθαινε, επομένως, ο ελληνικός λαός αν δεν εκταμιευόταν το ποσό των 8 δισ. ευρώ της 6ης δόσης;

Τίποτα!

Υπό μια προϋπόθεση:

Οτι ο ελληνικός λαός θα πετάξει πάνω από το σβέρκο του τους τοκογλύφους που του πίνουν το αίμα. Σε αυτή την περίπτωση ο ελληνικός λαός δε θα πάθαινε απολύτως τίποτα!

Αυτοί που θα «πάθαιναν» θα ήταν οι «φίλοι» και οι «σωτήρες» μας, που δε θα εισέπρατταν τα τοκογλυφικά.

Να, επομένως, γιατί ο ελληνικός λαός δεν έχει ανάγκη καμία 6η δόση.

Να γιατί σε κάθε δόση, ο ελληνικός λαός δεν πρέπει να βλέπει τι «παίρνει» - όπως τον κοροϊδεύουν οι «παλιές» και «νέες» κυβερνήσεις - αλλά τι δίνει!

Την 6η δόση - και κάθε δόση - την έχει ανάγκη το πολιτικό σύστημα των καπιταλιστών για να ταΐζει την πλουτοκρατία και να γεμίζει τα σεντούκια των εγχώριων και ξένων «δανειστών» μας.

Να γιατί ο ελληνικός λαός πρέπει να απαλλαγεί και από τις δόσεις και από τις κυβερνήσεις των... «δοσή-λογων».

Να γιατί ο ελληνικός λαός πρέπει να αρνηθεί να πληρώνει αυτά τα τοκογλυφικά.

Γιατί εφόσον αρνηθεί να πληρώνει το χρέος που άλλοι το προκάλεσαν και άλλοι το «γλεντάνε», τότε ο ελληνικός λαός- μη πληρώνοντας τους τοκογλύφους, δηλαδή τα μονοπώλια και τις τράπεζες -θα έχει στη διάθεσή του τόσο τα 8 δισ. ευρώ, όσο και τα επιπλέον 7,5 δισ. ευρώ (μέχρι να συμπληρωθούν τα 15,5 δισ. ευρώ) που τώρα,διά της 6ης δόσης, οδεύουν προς τοκογλύφους!

MERKOZY vs PAPANDREOU @ US BANKS

 

reposted from here / αναδημοσίευση απο εδώ

Brilliant Moves by Papandreou;

EMU Mentions Eurozone Exit Possibility First Time Ever; 

 Who the Hell is Merkozy to Dictate Terms of a Greek Referendum?

As the days progress, the strategy of George Papandreou has become increasingly clear. He does not like the terms forced on him by Eurozone bureaucrats especially French president Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Not only is he fed up with Eurocrats, he is fed up with Greek protests as well as pressure from political opposition.

I talked about this previously in my post In Praise of Papandreou's Referendum Decision; Eurocrats Terrified of Democracy; Parade of Cowards

Who the Hell is "Merkozy" to Dictate Terms of a Greek Referendum?
The reaction to Papandreou's referendum proposal was swift and severe, not only in the markets, but also at the emergency meeting Cannes between Merkel, Sarkozy, and Papandreou.

Sarkozy and Merkel proclaimed the Referendum was about an exit from the Eurozone.

Really? I ask again, Really?

Who the hell is "Merkozy" to dictate terms of a Greek referendum?

That said, I appreciate the fact that Merkozy now accept the simple fact that an exit from the Eurozone is possible.

This is a major step in the right direction, even if it constitutes effective blackmail on Greece.

Blackmail by IMF, Merkozy

The IMF upped the ante saying Greece will not get the next tranche of money until after the referendum. Hmmm. It seems the IMF and EMU should have thought about that before the last release of funds.

By the way, this helps explain the timing of Papandreou's announcement.

Papandreou's Timing Perfect

Papandreou cleverly waited until he had the funds and anti-Papandreou sentiment was extreme before announcing his referendum ploy.

What transpired immediately following his announcement was a series of on-off-on referendum announcements culminating with Papandreou convincing his cabinet to go along with the idea (please see Greek Referendum Off or On? Who is in Control? Anyone?)

That was an incredibly gutsy but also exceptionally well-timed move by Papandreou.

Yes or No, But to What?

With the above backdrop, please consider Greece to Decide Euro Membership in December Vote as EU Cuts Aid Payments

European leaders cut off aid payments to Greece and said a referendum in five weeks will determine whether the debt-strapped nation becomes the first to exit the 17-country euro area.

Crisis talks ended in the French resort of Cannes late yesterday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy withholding 8 billion euros ($11 billion) of assistance and warning Greece it will surrender all European aid if it votes against a bailout package agreed upon only last week.

“The referendum will revolve around nothing less than the question: does Greece want to stay in the euro, yes or no?,” Merkel told reporters. Sarkozy said Prime Minister George Papandreou’s government won’t get a “single cent” of aid if voters reject the plan.

The Greek premier declined to say how the referendum will be worded, saying it “is not the moment” to give the exact language, only that “the question is not just about a program but do we want to be in the eurozone.” More than seven in 10 voters said they favored Greece remaining in the euro, a poll last week of 1,009 people published in To Vima newspaper showed.

“Markets will remain very nervous, but with the hope that this hard stance will get to more clarity on Greece’s situation soon,” Marco Annunziata, chief economist at GE Capital in San Francisco, said by phone. “The EU is casting this as a stark choice on Greece’s part rather than reopening discussions on the bailout package.”

Who Has the Upper Hand?

Quite frankly that Bloomberg headline is nothing but bullsheet until Papandreou relents. But why should he?

Who is it that has the upper hand?

I encourage Papandreou to go "All In". He has nothing to lose. He will not win the next election and he is tired of playing puppet to Merkozy.

Bear in mind Greece desperately needs reforms. However, the manner in which the IMF, EMU, and Merkozy have forced various issues is in a manner that helps only Greek and French banks, and not Greece at all.

Most Greeks would agree with that assessment, whether it is truer or not. That is the likely reason Papandreou's cabinet went along with the referendum idea, after initially rejecting it.

In short, this was a brilliant series of perfectly timed maneuvers that shoves the ball smack back into the face of of the arrogant Merkozy coalition.

Stuff the Ball Down Merkozy's Thoat Until they Puke

Papandreou's next move should be to stuff the ball down the throats of Merkozy so hard that both of them puke.

All he has to do to accomplish that would be to go ahead and word the referendum how he wants. In short, the referendum needs to include a proposal to stay in the Eurozone, as well as a proposal to reject the terms of the EFSF as presented.

Look at the beauty of this setup from the point of view of Papandreou.

Assuming the proposal to stay in the Eurozone passes but approval of the terms of the EFSF does not, Merkel and Sarkozy will have to do one of two things:

1. Kick Greece out of the European Monetary Union
2. Renegotiate terms of the EFSF

Either way, Papandreou wins.

Explanation of My Position

Please do not read any more into this than exists. The facts of the matter are French, German, and other European banks made stupid loans to Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, etc.

Banks that make stupid lending decisions (and not taxpayers) should pay the price for those actions.

Greece desperately needs reforms, particularly in the public union area. I support those reforms.

However, I do not support the bailing out of banks. Unfortunately, all this alleged "help" to Greece is nothing more than an obvious attempt to bail out banks at the expense of Greece and European taxpayers in general.

MF Global Bankruptcy Exposes Vulnerability of U.S. Banks to Eurozone Debt Crisis

 link, σύνδεσμος

November 2, 2011

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning

The bankruptcy of MF Global Holdings (NYSE: MF) was a distressing signal to investors that it is possible for U.S. financial institutions to fall victim to the Eurozone debt crisis.

MF Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday after credit downgrades led to margin calls on some of the $6.3 billion in Eurozone sovereign debt the bank held. The position was five-times MF Global's equity.

Although the major U.S. banks have less exposure relative to available capital, their many tendrils in Europe - particularly to European banks - will inevitably drag them into any financial meltdown in the Eurozone.

Even the U.S. banks' estimated direct exposure to the troubled European nations of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain (PIIGS) is disturbingly high - equal to nearly 5% of total U.S. banking assets, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS).

And according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), U.S. banks actually increased their exposure to PIIGS debt by 20% over the first six months of 2011.
But the greatest risk is the multiple links most large U.S. banks have to their European counterparts - many of which hold a great deal of PIIGS debt.

"Given that U.S. banks have an estimated loan exposure to German and French banks in excess of $1.2 trillion and direct exposure to the PIIGS valued at $641billion, a collapse of a major European bank could produce similar problems inU.S. institutions," a CRS research report said

Of course, the major banks say their exposure to the Eurozone debt crisis is much lower because they've bought credit-default swaps (CDS) to hedge their positions. Credit-default swaps are essentially insurance policies that pay off in the event of a default.

Unfortunately, this same strategy was one of the root causes of the 2008 financial crisis involving American International Group (NYSE: AIG) and Lehman Bros.

"Risk isn't going to evaporate through these trades," Frederick Cannon, director of research at investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc., told Bloomberg News. "The big problem with all these gross exposures is counterparty risk. When the CDS is triggered due to default, will those counterparties be standing? If everybody is buying from each other, who's ultimately going to pay for the losses?" earlier this month.

Indecent Exposure

Although the next MF Global will be tough to spot - most small brokerages that clear futures trades are private - the major U.S. banks all have enough exposure to put them at risk.

U.S. banks have made about $181 billion in direct loans to PIIGS nations, according to BIS.

One bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JP) already has been stung by the Eurozone debt crisis via the MF Global bankruptcy; it was the fallen firm's largest creditor with $1.2 billion in exposure.

According to JPMorgan's own disclosures, it has $14 billion in direct exposure to the PIIGS nations, with 26% of that tied to sovereign debt.

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) reported $16.7 billion in exposure, while Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) reported exposures between $3 billion and $5 billion.

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) reported exposure in August to the PIIGS of $31.7 billion - more than double the $13.5 billion it reported in July.

The French (and German) Connection

Those figures don't include the indirect exposure via their connections to the European banks most at risk if any of the PIIGS default. Morgan Stanley, for example, reported exposure to European banks in excess of $60 billion - three times the company's market cap.

While U.S. banks have loaned just $60.5 billion to banks in the PIIGS nations, they've lent $275.8 billion to French and German banks, according to BIS.

"Although American banks have limited their exposure to Greece, they have loaned hundreds of billions of dollars to European banks and European governments that may not be capable of paying them back," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.

With U.S. banks so deeply connected to those in Europe, particularly through the $600 trillion global credit-default swap market, Fitz-Gerald said a meltdown over there would trigger a meltdown here in the United States.

"Imagine the fallout from a $600 trillion explosion if several banks went down at once," Fitz-Gerald said. "It would eclipse the collapse of Lehman Brothers in no uncertain terms."

Essentially, the major U.S. banks have made a collective bet that the Eurozone governments will bail out any European banks that get into trouble - a faith-based bet that could backfire if the governments fail to act accordingly, either because of political resistance or because they won't be able to raise the money.

"We could have an AIG moment in Europe," Peter Tchir, founder of TF Market Advisors, told Bloomberg News. "Let's say Greece defaults, causing runs on other periphery debt that would trigger collateral requirements from the sellers of CDS, and one or more cannot meet the margin calls. There might be AIGs hiding out there."
