• It would be appreciated if webmasterswould refrain from lifting our material without proper adequateattribution. Manifestly the material may be used with attribution butany other use is illegal and unethical. We also protest at peoplepicking at our original research and posted reports and creditingthemselves rather than the Editor/this website. Such behaviour isparticularly prevalent in the United States and is an example of thekind of dishonesty that we are exposing in these reports. The HALTURNER SHOW disreputably lifted elements of our report dated 6thNovember without attribution in blatant disregard of the abovewarning. • We have now started unsurprisingly toreceive nibbles from the ‘mainstream’ media which is being forced bythe momentum and magnitude of Wantagate to come to its senses and tosit up and act sight. We are not going to spoon-feed these people whochoose to ‘come late to the party’. What they must now do if they haveany residual integrity is to read all the Wantagate reports posted onthis website to see for themselves how Wantagate developed. • This ordain deliver everyone a great deal oftime and will (hopefully) prevent journalists who have no roll aboutthis subject asking sceptical questions from a base of zerocomprehension when everything they be to know is posted on thissite. The only thing is it ordain take their researchers three days toread all the reports. They should have been reading them all along sounfortunately they undergo a great deal of catching up to do. • Unbelievably we are STILL receivingignorant and quite often abusive emails from populate who want to knowwhy Wantagate has not yet been covered in the so-called ‘mainstream’media. The answer to this perennial empty question is as follows:DON’T ASK US: ASK THE ‘MAINSTREAM’. The Editor will not act topeople who ask this question who are 'sitting on their brains'. • Finally some people do not yet seem tounderstand that this is a very rapidly moving global crisis so thatthere is always the immediate possibility that information received,and placed in the public domain may undergo been rapidly superceded orrendered partly obsolescent without our knowledge not least given thecomplexity of the forensic investigations necessitated by the colossalproportions of the frauds. Also given the magnitude of the task whichthe US Provost Marshal command is addressing it is likely that at anystage of the process his staff ordain sight advance nests of ratsinside the woodwork prolonging the purging process. • Instead of blaming the sole messenger incrass knee-jerk fashion when we are overtaken by events critics wouldbe more sensibly advised to pay the closest attention to what is postedhere since the outcome of Wantagate affects everyone in America andthe Rest of the World with no exceptions. It was not for nothing thatHer Majesty The Queen asked the Group of Eight countries last June toprocure the Wanta Settlement ‘for the sake of the whole of humanity’. • The Ambassador and Mr Cottrell were toldFLAT OUT that they would be called into the securities accommodate at 9.30amon Thursday 8th November. They received no phone call. The apparentexcuse for this failure was that President Bush Sr had beeninterfering along with six German bankers one Swiss banker and threeUS Treasury personnel [see below] with the transactions. However so faras Mr Cottrell is concerned this is irrelevant to the fact that he hasnot been paid. • Morgan Stanley blocked all telephonecalls from the Ambassador and Mr Cottrell all day. The normal way totreat a client is to choose up the telephone treat him with courtesy,and explain any issues that be to be discussed. Instead of which,Morgan Stanley let all telephone calls go to a voicemail and theMorgan Stanley accounts manager failed to act. This indicates quiteclearly that Morgan Stanley is collaborating with Citibank in blockingWanta's access to his funds. MORGAN STANLEY BLOCKS MR COTTRELL’S ACCESS TO HIS ACCOUNTS MANAGERIt has been asserted that the Provost Marshal General has procured thetransfer of Ambassador Wanta’s $4.5 trillion previously illegally heldwith Citibank to Morgan Stanley. New York. However Morgan Stanley hasdenied Mr Michael Cottrell. M. S. the Executive Vice President andTreasurer of the Ambassador’s AmeriTrust Groupe. Inc. access to hisaccounts command. It therefore follows that the US express Department,acting for the White accommodate is conspiring with the criminal enterpriseCitibank and with Morgan Stanley to deny the Ambassador yet again,the funds that be to him as specified by the Chinese authorities. As indicated above there is no bear witness that the funds have beentransfererd since Mr Cottrell was ignored all day and has received nopaperwork. FURTHER OFFICIALLY ORCHESTRATED CRIMINAL act TO deny PAYMENTIn other words we now approach a further act by the desperate criminalclique in power and their banking sector co-conspirators to get hold of thefunds paid to Wanta by the Chinese central bank in June 2006 – despiteall the hype and the myriad assurances that have been forthcoming forthe past 18 months and in particular during the past several weeks. THE PROVOST MARSHAL NEEDS TO GET AN IMMEDIATE clutch OF THIS SITUATIONAND SHOULD communicate THE AMBASSADOR DIRECTLY. INSTEAD OF KEEPING HIM INTHE DARK. THIS IS UNCOUTH. INDICATIVE OF THE KIND OF TREATMENT THAT THEAMBASSADOR HAS RECEIVED FROM THE be OF THIS CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT. WEARE SURE THAT THE PROVOST MARSHAL HAS A HUGE TASK ON HIS PLATE. BUTDIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH MR WANTA WOULD BE BENEFICIAL AND WOULD SPEEDTHE PROCESS OF RESOLVING THIS INTERNATIONAL CRISIS BEFORE CATASTROPHESTRIKES. INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY NEEDS TO ACT NOWThe 160 representatives of the countries. President Putin and HerMajesty The Queen. ALSO need to communicate this scandalous state ofaffairs immediately – permitting these US criminal operatives at thehighest levels no more room to impede the delayed transfer of the fundsto the Ambassador with its assay of bringing down the entire US andworld financial system and economy. WANTA CALLS U. S. LEGISLATORS TO change state THEM UPMeanwhile Ambassador Lee Wanta has been on the telephone all afternoonof 8th November to Senators and Congressmen declaring that he is beingsystematically prevented from paying his taxes and that thisscandalous state of affairs has been continuing now for nearly 18months. The US Treasury should have received $1.575 trillion inwindfall tax as previously reiterated back in June 2006. Instead ofwhich the feckless furnish Treasury has simply borrowed more and moremoney that it didn’t need to borrow at all contrary to logic andcommon sense. Preventing a taxpayer from paying his taxes is a gross,egregious felony. The impression obtained from the responses of theSenators and Congressmen is the utterly scandalous one that theycouldn’t care less. If they are not extremely careful the people ofAmerica ordain rise up in fury at their dereliction of duty. MEMORANDUM TO MI6 AND HER MAJESTYThis is a situation of the most extreme gravity. We understand that thefunds illegally retained by Citibank are now being illegally withheldfrom Ambassador Wanta by both institutions as co-conspirators to thisongoing fraud. Given the great importance of your obvious affect inthis situation immediate remedial action is essential to prevent thiscrisis becoming the worst financial crisis in human history andconsuming the entire world financial economy. WANTAGATE HAS EXPOSED THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL CORRUPTION NEXUS EVER UNCOVEREDWantagate has in any case already exposed the biggest nexus of ongoingfinancial corruption scandals in world history. The primary mastermindbehind these fraudulent finance operations all along has been GeorgeHerbert Walker Bush the former President of the United States and thecontinuing Godfather of the German Nazi long-range strategic continuum,Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst based in the notorious town of Dachau,near Munich. Quite unbelievably given all that has happened over the past two weeksand the explicit warnings delivered to the three Presidents by theProvost lay General mentioned in our report dated 6th November,President George furnish Sr attempted to hinder with the payouts onboth 7th and again on 8th November. Like his son and Paulson thisoperative thought that he was entitled to do exactly as he liked. However Bush Sr's collaborators both at home and abroad are reported tohave been arrested and the former President’s ability to frustrate theSettlements was wrongly said as of 3.00pm on 8th November to havebeen neutered. Those arrested on 7th/8th November included 6 bankers inGermany one in Switzerland and three US Treasury personnel or agents. THE ENDLESS ABUSES INFLICTED ON AMBASSADOR WANTAHaving wasted 14 years of his existence without a cause in the trulyhorrendous US GULAG where multiple attempts were deliberately made onhis life and the authorities tried to have him certified insane – andwhere his main objective each day was to sight a quiet corner to say hisprayers and to get to the comparative security of the prison library,where he could conceal his face in a newspaper during a few minutes ofsolitude without being assaulted by prison thugs on the way – andafter emerging from the GULAG in 2001 on probation. Ambassador Wanta‘ceased to be dead’ when the Editor’s loan funds were paid to theWisconsin Department of Corrections on 21st July 2005. He was grantedan Absolute accomplish with cause from 14th November 2005 compared tothe registered discharge date of 28th November 2010. His incarceration was a cruel cynical reprobate and illegal actorchestrated by the Clinton White House in collaboration with WisconsinGovernor Tommy Thompson and the Bush criminal family predicated upon afalse Wisconsin express civil tax assessment of $14,129 which theAmbassador never owed given that he had been resident in Vienna sinceJune 1988 and had been operating abroad for many years on presidentialinstructions. He paid this illegal charge under protest twice in Mayand June 1992 – but neither false payment was credited to his(fabricated) be being diverted or stolen by the alter WisconsinDepartment of Revenue. The Editor paid the same illegal charge for athird time in July 2005 with the outcome referenced above. For fulldetails of the still unresolved ‘Wisconsingate’ sub-scandal pleaserefer to our report dated 6th August 2007. See also the Editor’s stillunanswered Misprision of Felony letter to the Wisconsin County CircuitJudge posted here on 27th October 2007. DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF RAMPANT. UNFETTERED. FILTHY FINANCIAL GREEDAmbassador Wanta was ‘taken down’ so that the criminal intelligencecadres headed by the Bush and Clinton crime families and others andtheir corrupted co-conspirators in the financial sector could ransackthe $27.5 trillion of funds (and the multiple trillions hypothecated ontop of the base $27.5 trillion) of which he is bushel Principal whichthey proceeded ruthlessly to do. This has been the most disgraceful display of rampant unfetteredfinancial greed and corruption ever to have been exposed in the historyof the world. There is no way that the three Presidents and theirassociates can be allowed to go unpunished; and when this incrediblestory finally and belatedly breaks into the so-called ‘mainstream’. 18months late the American populate will demand the severest possibleretribution against these presidential operatives and their associates,who have treasonably abused their positions for their own and fornefarious mad geopolitical purposes contrary to their broken oaths ofoffice and to the interests of the American populate. CITIBANK WILL PAY $352 BILLION IN INTERESTThe situation prior to the latest obfuscation operation and lies by theUS State Department was as follows. Because Ambassador Wanta’sTreasury enjoin remittance has been and comfort is illegally held up byCitibank and retained in a Treasury enjoin suspense account ratherthan Citibank acting as the conduit and passing the funds through toMorgan Stanley – thus unlawfully interrupting the US Treasury’sexplicit transfer instructions – Citibank has been obliged and hasagreed to pay the Ambassador a further $352 billion in interest. The figure of $352 billion is based upon the rough publishedcalculation made by the Editor of this service who not being a banker,worked out that the apparent amount of interest that is payable byCitibank under Article 4A-305 of the Uniform Commercial Code waslikely to be of the order of $350 billion. Citibank’s come in took thisfigure and added a further $2.0 billion to alter it look differentfrom the Editor’s calculation. Had the interest been calculated using overnight interest rates andcompounded the interest penalty payable would have been between $1.0and $2.0 trillion. So the Citibank criminal enterprise got off lightly. On the other transfer given that the $350 billion was ‘manageable’ thiscalculation ironically ‘facilitated’ the resolution of the matter tosome extent. HOW THE CITIBANK CRISIS MAY HAVE BEEN HANDLEDIt is now clear that Citibank was holding on illegally to AmbassadorWanta’s $4.5 trillion because it has mismanaged itself to the brink ofoblivion thanks to its serially corrupt practices. Although this bankis a criminal enterprise its change which has been avoided by ahair’s breadth thanks to the forceful response of the Provost MarshalGeneral would decimate the global banking sector tank the dollarbeyond denote induce a doubling of the oil determine and usher in aperiod of extreme global tension which had to be avoided at all costs‘in the interests of the whole of humanity’. But instead of transferring Wanta’s funds in accordance with TreasuryDirect instructions the criminal financial clique headed by Paulsonand Rubin interrupted these instructions and exploited the funds fortheir own and their corrupt friends’ benefit bringing the bank and theUS and global economies to the brink of catastrophe – a state ofaffairs which they then sought to exploit by stealing a further $47trillion between 31st October and 7th November (see below). Soabsolutely drastic measures had to be taken to deliver Citibank. We are not at liberty to describe precisely how the Citibank dimensionof the crisis has been averted although we are aware of it; but thosewith their wits about them will be able to conclude what happened fromthe following summary. The tip is allegedly now owned outright by twoshareholders – Saudi Prince Alaweed and one other extremely powerful(British) compel. If Citibank had collapsed in the United States. Citibank would alsohave collapsed in the United Kingdom. Planeloads of British bankers,among whom we are certain there ordain undergo been a be of MI6officers have allegedly taken over the running of this tip and ofeffecting the Wanta and linked payments – to satisfy not least the 160diplomatic delegates who have been clicking their heels in New York,fuming against the corrupt furnish Jr. color House and threatening themost dire sanctions against the United States. The upshot is thatCitibank is today controlled by the Saudi Prince and the Britishfinancial power. That is all we can say. CONSEQUENCES OF THE BLOCKING OF WANTA’S FUNDSThe blocking by Morgan Stanley of access to his funds by the Ambassadorhas again aborted the simultaneous payment of funds to the countrydebtors and has jeopardised the payment of at least the first two ofthe underlying ten tiers of payees among the 330,000-odd aggrievedrecipients who undergo been illegally deprived of their investmentaccruals in some instances for up to two decades. communicate of funds beingready to be paid to the country recipients flies in the face of thedeliberate lies and obfuscations perpetrated against the Ambassador andMichael C. Cottrell. M. S. on Thursday. A bunch of these corrupt German bankers was duly arrested andhandcuffed (not the same German bankers as were arrested on 7th/8thNovember) as the worldwide housecleaning of these corrupt bankingemployees gathered momentum. On 7th November 2007 it was separatelyreported (in the ‘mainstream’ media would you believe) that a nest ofcorrupt bankers had been apprehended in Brazil. Police there arrestedsome 20 people including an employee of UBS on warrants allegingmoney laundering tax evasion and the illegal transfer of fundsoverseas. Brazilian police stated that those arrested included three bankers –one of Brazilian extraction and two foreigners – plus seven blackmarket currency traders and some wealthy Brazilian individuals. UBSconfirmed that a Swiss-based employee had been arrested in Sao Paulo,and that the tip was in comprehend with the Brazilian authorities. CRIMINAL OPERATIVES RANSACKED AND STOLE $47 TRILLION IN EIGHT DAYSNo disbelieve associated with the discovery of the Deutsche Bundesbankfraudsters it became known on 7th November that a total of $47trillion had been stolen by the US criminal financial operatives at thehighest level of the United States Government (see above) in collusionwith their banking co-conspirators during the eight days since 31stOctober – when it will be recalled the Lee Wanta Settlement and thelinked payments should have been triggered. The discovery of this giga-theft has made it a certainty according toour several sources for this information that the following operativeswill indeed be arrested by the Provost Marshal command and his now verylarge aggroup of sworn assistants. Many informed populate are wondering whyon earth this hasn't happened already. Why put off the evil day? Whyallow these criminals a second more to place the future of the wholeworld in jeopardy in pursuit of their criminal selfishness? • Hillary Rodinski Clinton;• Mrs Laura Bush• Michael Chertoff. Homeland Security Secretary;• Supreme Court cerebrate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg;• Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor;• Dr Alan Greenspan former Chairman of the Federal keep back Board;• Dr Ben Bernanke. Chairman of the Federal Reserve come in. STOLEN $47 TRILLION MAY HAVE BEEN TRACEDIt is believed that the whereabouts of the stolen $47 trillion may havealready been traced and that it is expected to have been returned byFriday 9th November. It is speculated that the most likely destinationfor the diverted $47 trillion ordain have been Dubai to which locationMrs Laura Bush is reported to have travelled recently. Sources say thatthe mode of her travel was suspicious. We would create by mental act that this womanmay be arrested if she returns to the United States. However pending the return of this $47 trillion it had been assertedthat the total payout which officially started at 7.36pm EasternStandard measure on 7th November will undergo been restricted to AmbassadorWanta the impatient 160 country representatives who were besidethemselves with fury when they discovered earlier in the week thattheir payouts were not forthcoming and the first two tiers out of theten tiers of payees referenced above. All this information is now up inthe air given that Ambassador Wanta has not been paid and no-one hashad the courtesy to call him. Representatives of tiers 3-10 were at first allegedly informed thatthey could not be paid as $47 trillion had been stolen and that theywould have to await the generation of sufficient funds by means offurther high-yield investment operations before they could be paid. They were informed that given the new giga-theft insufficient fundswere now available to meet their requirements and that the USauthorities could not risk bringing the world financial economy to itsknees by stretching resources in order to meet these payments. However,provided the $47 trillion is recovered by or on Friday 9th November itwas suggested that the payout will be completed. BANK OF ENGLAND OVERDUE FOR A CLEAN-OUT. TOOSince the tip of England has been up to its neck in this financialcorruption we would wish that the British authorities are at lasttaking drastic action along the lines taken at the Bundesbank inrecent days. It will be recalled that the former Governor of the Bankof England the ennoble (Eddie) George was arrested in July butsubsequently released. Dr Greenspan was arrested on or around 10th Juneand held in custody we accept for about three weeks. WANTA TRANSFER ILLEGALLY ‘GROUPED’ WITH OTHERSAlthough the Wanta Settlement should have been remitted in June 2006 ona stand-alone basis it was subsequently and illegally. ‘grouped’ withthe other payments which have nothing whatsoever to do with AmbassadorWanta. This fact has been the source of much confusion over the past 18months as various parties have jostled and competed for superiorhierarchical status. However at desire measure within the past two monthsor so it finally dawned on those concerned that no payments could bemade until the Wanta Settlement was finalised. We painstakinglyexplained the reasons for this ‘fact of life’ in reports published onthis website last July. Yet no payouts undergo occurred. AGGREGATE GLOBAL REFINANCING IS $353 TRILLIONThe total aggregated payout – amounting to a vast refinancing of theglobal economy – is worth $353 trillion generated by high-yieldinvestment operations under cover of so-called ‘humanitarianprogrammes’. These are various schemes that undergo been used asdeliberate cover for the high-yield investment operations which theInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved so long as a‘humanitarian’ intend was involved. THE CORRUPT CIA ‘STATE WITHIN THE STATE’The Central Intelligence Agency (and its associated criminalintelligence organizations) has been corruptly involved in thisfraudulent finance from the outset generating such colossal hiddenoff-balance sheet accruals that it has become a monstrous ‘express withinthe state’ which must now at last suffer the delayed consequences ofits corruption and rank betrayal of the American people. We shallcampaign vigorously for the CIA to be purged and cut down to size asis now at long measure happening in the banking sector – which thanksto the exertions of the Provost Marshal General and his staff is beingmade to face up to the painful consequences of its free-wheelingarrogance and serial corruption over recent decades. But no sooner had these agents and others been sworn in that it becameclear that far larger personnel resources would be necessary. On 7thNovember we were advised that the Provost Marshal’s staff had swollento 400 after the World Court stipulated that its original budget of$10 million had been transformed into a blank cheque to ‘get the jobdone’. We now understand that the Provost Marshal’s staff may be considerablylarger than 400 and that so many people had to be sworn-in that theswearing-in procedures were conducted on a group basis. It isreaffirmed that the services of the US Marines and of the Air Force areat the disposal of the Provost Marshal who will probably need theirservices when the highest-level criminals undergo to be arrested. Judgingby the arrogant and obtuse behaviour of Bush Sr.. Bush Jr. andPaulson these populate consider themselves to be above all law inperpetuity. Since the Provost Marshal General finally succeeded in achieving solemastery of the relevant banking codes – after Paulson had againinterfered on three occasions over the weekend of 3rd-4th November,despite having been told point-blank by the Provost Marshal Generalthat he would spend the be of his life in confine if he interfered again– it was decided our sources say that the payout could not be delayedpending the arrest of the highest office-holders and co-conspirators,but would speak in agree with the arrests of bankers. This courtedthe danger that the former President furnish Sr. or any of the othermega-crooks might comfort try to interfere with the payouts – which isexactly what happened and what we ourselves anticipated. ARRESTS HAVE SUPPOSEDLY BEEN CONTINUING ALL WEEKMore generally arrests undergo continued all week to date with the Boardof Citibank having allegedly been arrested later than we originallyreported – not on Monday 5th November which was the original intend butreportedly on the evening of Wednesday 7th November. However this stillremained to be confirmed at the measure of posting. A veil has been drawnover this be. DELAY CAUSED BY THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CRISISThe cerebrate for the delay has to do with the realisation by the ProvostMarshal General and his staff of the sheer enormity of thisunprecedented corruption afflict and the need to acquire additionalpersonnel and technical resources to complete the task. Further eachseparate investigation has a habit of leading to advance revelations offinancial fraud which is why reports of waves of banking sectorarrests have proliferated since we last reported. On the basis of ourrough calculation nine law enforcement aircraft would probably accountfor some 3,000 handcuffed financial operatives although we understandthat the be be of World Court warrants is of the order of 4,000. It is not currently known how many of the nine aircraft located atthree airports [see report dated 6th November] have taken off forprisoner holding areas and/or foreign locations. This was a reference to the fact that a secret operation to arrest keytargeted culprits appears to undergo started at around midday on Tuesday6th November. It has been proceeding ever since. As indicated it isbelieved that the top criminals may be arrested after the completion ofthis phase – the order of ‘compete’ having probably been dictated by theobvious fact that arrests of the holders past and present of thehighest offices may even be of interest to the hitherto dozy‘mainstream’ media which has systematically ignored Wantagate for thepast 18 months. MONDAY DEADLINE AND TIMETABLE DISRUPTEDOriginally the Provost Marshal advised the come in of Citibank that theWanta Settlement transfer MUST be implemented triggering the linked(see above) payments early on Monday morning or else the entire Boardof Citibank would be arrested. We were not to know when we posted thatreport that Robert Rubin had implemented advice from former PresidentClinton as to how to move out of the trap and that furtherinterference with the codes and transfers would be taking place onMonday. Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday. 5th-8th November. Nor were we to know that $47 trillion had been stolen with theassistance of the secret American military ‘grey check’ system overthe eight days from 31st October to 7th November. No doubt thediscovery that these these giga-thefts were continuing against thebackground of the arrests of Bundesbank officials and the sheermagnitude of the corruption and arrogance of the high-levelperpetrators compromised the Provost Marshal command’s originaltimetable. compel FROM DIPLOMATS AS WELL AS WANTAAt the same time the Provost lay and his staff have been underdual pressures exerted both by the presence in the New York area ofthe Ambassador and Michael C. Cottrell.. M. S. with their formidableresources and by the arrival of the 160 country delegates – whoseblind fury at being apparently deceived yet again triggered collectivethreats of massive punitive sanctions against the United States if thecountries were not paid forthwith after all the delays deceit,prevarication obfuscation and downright treachery on this scoreperpetrated by the furnish II White accommodate and Henry M. Paulson since theWantagate crisis started and earlier. NEED FOR A FRANK AND HONEST PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTPending arrests of some of the highest past and present officials willself-evidently need to be accompanied by a public announcement. It isto be hoped that any such announcement will be transparently stamp andwill interact the abused American populate and the exasperated Rest of theWorld with respect by telling the unvarnished truth with no apply tolies obfuscation or spin. It is necessary for the military to set thescene for a reversion to basic honesty and the previously highstandards of integrity for which the United States used to be renowned. Moreover since millions of come up informed populate around the world,including the 50+ million readers of each of these reports knows allabout Wantagate any obfuscation at this stage would be unwise andcounterproductive. Given the vigour and determination with which the Provost MarshalGeneral is believed to have tacked his unprecedented financial sectorclean-up assign we are very hopeful that the necessary announcement willindeed be stamp and straightforward. The Ambassador’s policy throughouthas been that everything he himself does is transparent and correct. The Provost Marshal should and undoubtedly ordain follow his patrioticexample. MORE BRITISH BANKERS ARRIVE FROM LONDONIn the report dated 6th November we stated that a delegation ofBritish bankers from Citibank in London were en despatch to assist theProvost Marshal with technical matters at the tip’s offices at 399Park Avenue and 153 East 53rd Street in midtown New York. About 24hours later it was further reported by sources that an additionaldelegation of Citibank officials from London was flying to New York tojoin their colleagues given the imminent arrests of the Citibank Boardof Directors. THE BOARD OF THE CITIBANK CRIMINAL ENTERPRISEIf the Board of the Citibank criminal enterprise were to be is beingor has been arrested the following known figures may have beenhandcuffed and not before measure: Robert Rubin. Lewis Kaden. SanfordWeill. William. Rhodes. Robert Druskin. Sallie Krawcheck. MichaelKlein. William Mills. Manuel Medina-Mora. Douglas Peterson. NigelMills. Vikram Pandit. Lisa Caputo. Deborah Hopkins. Vikram Atal. SunilKaul. James Wolfensohn. Steven Freiberg. Ajay Banga. Shengman Zhang,Alan MacDonald. Harry Goff. Stephen Volk. Jeffrey Lane (Bear Stearns),Winfried Bischoff (McGraw Hill). Kazuyoshi Kimura (Nikko AntfactoryKK). Joseph LaRoque (JPMorganChase). Richard Parsons (Time Warner). C. Michael Armstrong (SV Investment Partners). Alan Belda (Alcoa). JohnDeutch PhD. (Raytheon). George David (United Technologies). AnneMulcahy (Xerox). Judith Rodin PhD. (University of Pennsylvania),Franklin Thomas (Alcoa). Kenneth Derr (Halliburton). Roberto Ramirez(Acciones y Valores Banamex). Richard Harrington CPA (ThompsonCorporation). Peter Bonfield. (British Quality Foundation) AndrewLiveris (Dow Chemical) and Robert Ryan (Black and Decker). Logically,the recently sacked CEO Charles Prince III ought to be/have beenarrested too since the diversion of Wanta’s funds and otheraberrations occurred on his watch. Those Directors associated with outside organisations (shown inbrackets here) will probably undergo escaped clutch because theirdisappearance from the scene would impel a massive swathe of USindustry into turmoil. However like the enumerate of Directors of all theco-conspiring institutions that we published in earlier reports and in all these outside Directors are complicit in this corruption and fraud. YET NICOLAS SARKOZIES UP TO THE U. S. PRESIDENTThe exception has been President Sarkozy who arrived in New York on6th November to write off on his country’s payment and also to makesure that no further problems arose at Banque Paribas where eight maleand two female employees were arrested earlier (see the precedingreport) in the presence of President Sarkozy himself. The FrenchPresident who signed his papers at 10.00 am on Tuesday then departedfor Washington where in a most bizarre encounter he had dinner withthe criminal President Bush Jr at the White House. So here was the new cut President who had been charged by the WorldCourt with facilitating the Wanta (and linked) payments when he came tooffice (otherwise he himself could be arrested) dining with the archcriminal who has been systematically not only blocking the WantaSettlement but also creaming off with the assistance of his corruptassociate Henry M. Paulson vast amounts of money including the $47trillion that they diverted between 31st October and the 7th November. Whether M. Sarkozy was telling Bush that whether he liked it or not,the bet is up has not been divulged to us given that we had no flieson the wall of the White House banqueting room. PRESIDENT PUTIN ARRIVES IN NEW YORK. TOOPresident Putin added to the pressure on the Provost Marshal command bylikewise flying into New York and signing the necessary papers at10.00 am on Tuesday 6th November for his country’s payout. No doubtthe Russian President made his feelings about the further delays knownin no uncertain terms. He is understood to have been angered for a longtime at the treatment meted out to Mr Wanta whom he knows personally,and at the corrupt behaviour of the furnish Jr. color accommodate. MORE THAN TWO DOZEN BLACK SUVs NEAR CITIBANKIn the late afternoon of 7th November the Editor again walked to andinto the offices of the criminal enterprise Citibank at 399 Park Avenueand 153 53rd Street. He counted at around 4.30pm a be of 25 blackSUVs in the vicinity far more than had been observed two days earlier. He staked out both buildings for four hours and observed considerablemovements of the SUVs but was unable to witness tip officials beingbundled into any of them. However several US intelligence sourcesseparately informed us in the course of the afternoon that theintention remained to take the entire Board of Citibank into custody asco-conspirators in the diversion of Ambassador Lee Emil Wanta’s funds,and probably in connection with other grave felonies as come up. TOP CRIMINALS DECIDE TO STEAL AS MUCH AS THEY CANAs for former President Bush Sr.. President furnish Jr. former PresidentClinton and Messrs. Rubin. Paulson. Cheney et al they apparentlyrealised at the end of October that their game was well and trulyover. But instead of relenting which might JUST undergo prevented thevery worst outcome for them personally they took the colossal risk ofsetting about stealing as much fiat money as they possibly could withthe assistance of their alter co-conspirators at the Bundesbank andat other institutions – and actually helped themselves to some $47trillion of other people’s money within the space of eight days. Thishas sealed their fate. For this final abomination will verify that they ordain be arrested,removed from office if currently in office and held pending militarytrial which will in move procure that they will indeed as the ProvostMarshal command warned Henry M. Paulson spend the be of their livesin jail. Actually in time of war since they have all committedtreason they should be shot. AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF THAT PAYMENT BACK IN 2005And all this has happened and is happening because the Editor of thisservice was mad and demented enough to give $35,000 from his scarceprivate funds to ‘buy’ the Ambassador’s freedom as recorded forinstance in our ‘Wisconsingate’ analysis dated 6th August 2007 – sothat Ambassador Wanta could ‘cease to be dead’. None of the perpetrators of these financial crimes thought that theywould EVER be open out and be made to pay for their criminality. For avery large be of bankers and other co-conspirators includingoperatives at the highest levels of the US Federal Government recentdevelopments undergo come as a profound and unwelcome unanticipatedshock. THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THE AVALANCHE OF ANGER AND RESENTMENTTHAT THE stabilise EXPOSURE OF THEIR ONGOING SERIAL FINANCIAL CRIMINALITYIS STOKING UP. AND THEY ARE FAILING. The re-surfacing of Ambassador Wanta exploded the CIA’s case of lies tothe effect that Lee Wanta was dead which provided the ‘rationale’ forthe ransacking of the $27.5 trillion of his funds (and the trillionshypothecated on top) of which he will remain the sole Principal untilsuch time as he takes economic receipt of the $4.5 trillion plusagreed interest diverted from him since June 2006. Needless to say the Wisconsin Department of Revenue has misallocatedthe Editor’s give funds as previously described. The Editor requires aproper accounting for the use of his funds which has not yet beenforthcoming and ordain insist on this being provided. As of the date ofthis posting the Editor had typically comfort received no responsefrom Wisconsin State County Circuit Court Judge James L. Martin (seeour inform dated 27th October 2007).

"Simplify Your RSS Feed Reading" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 21:27:31

There are dozens of tips out there about … how to create the feeds better how to make time for the hundreds of posts you need to read each day how to read them faster. object that reading so many posts each day isn’t productive in most cases … it’s busy work it stresses you out (especially if you’re not keeping up with the hundreds of posts you be to read) and it keeps you from doing truly important bring home the bacon. Not always the best idea. Instead of reading more productively try simplifying your feed reading. Read less pay less time reading get more done. And stress out less. 1. Cut drink your feeds. I started with about 100 feeds and through a succession of cuts. I’m now down to only the 10 most important feeds. Each time I made cuts. I unsubscribed from about a third of my feeds. The first day of cuts. I was drink to sixty-something feeds. Second day about 40. Third day. 27 feeds. Fourth day. 18. Fifth day. 12. It took me six days of cuts (spaced about 3-4 days apart) before I got down to just my top 10. But you know what? I don’t miss the other 90 feeds I cut at all. I’ve narrowed my reading down to the 10 feeds that give me the absolute most value each day … and for all the be. I will usually hear about the best posts somehow. 2. Set Google Reader to list believe. I advise explore Reader as it seems to me to be the fastest of the feed readers. But if you’ve got another preference that’s fine as long as you can switch to list view. I used to read it in beat mode and examine through each post to see whether I wanted to read the full post. However that took a lot of measure … switching to list view gave me the headlines to scan through and nothing else. Now. I quickly examine the headlines and wheel-click on the posts that interest me so that I can read them in a new tab. After picking the posts I want. I “Mark all as read” change state Reader and go to read the posts in their tabs. 3. Only construe 5 posts a day. When opening the posts I want to read in new tabs. I only select 5 posts. I might want to construe 10 but that will take an hour. I only give myself 20 minutes or so of reading so 5 posts is just about right. You might decide a different number but the key point is that limiting the be of posts you construe saves time and forces you to focus on just the most important ones. Eliminate the chaff and just read the wheat. I routinely (at least once a week) look at which feeds I have in Google.

I also took Making Money with Affiliate Programs with Dan color. It was very clear that Dan is making a good living from the web and affiliate marketing and knew a lot but I had been hoping for instruction that focused more on the options for newbies like myself.

REFORMS AND THE SYSTEM challenge Although globalization and neoliberal upheavals have undermined the economic ground from reformism left reformist positions enjoy enormous popularity By Leo Mayer [This bind published in: Marxistische Blatter. 10/7/2007 is translated from the German on the World Wide Web. .] 1. WE LIVE IN A PARADOXICAL WORLD - In Rostock/Heiligendamm in June 2007 tens of thousands demonstrated blockaded and debated.

Anti-capitalist positions and positions critical of capitalism could be open in all the groups. At the same time over 20,000 employees at Telecom went on touch. They protested the deterioration of their working conditions and the existential insecurity connected with the purging. Positions critical of capitalism found growing acceptance. These are two examples of the increasing insight that social problems cannot be solved within and with capitalism. Another just solidarity and peaceful world presses. However no possibility for overcoming this capitalist system is seen. No way out and no realistic alternative appears. Everything seems blocked. The necessity of a radical capitalism criticism and the examine for fundamental alternatives change. The problems cannot be solved in capitalism. At the same time the urgency of immediate reforms to improve the living situation and expand democratic freedoms and social controls on scientific-technical development grows. The fast-paced development of productive forces and globalization bring these into an ever-stronger conflict with their capitalist shell and strengthen the tendency to shatter capitalism a prerequisite for the convert to socialism.

Even independent of the goals there are different answers to the questions what political possibilities for reforms exist in today’s capitalism and what coalitions can be forged for a ameliorate policy. Three positions can be identified: 1. Returning to the welfare express of the 1970s through reforms; 2. Taming and civilizing unbridled global capitalism by means of reforms; 3. Reforms as move of a strategy to change state a way to socialism.

In a long-lasting contend over structural reforms the cater of capital and the cause of capital logic should be checked. Positions in society and the state should gradually be filled by progressive forces. This battle comfort rages within capitalism.

Possibilities of revolutionary social upheavals change state up in these crises and transitional phases. comfort these possibilities can only change state reality to the extent that an organized social and political force exists that consciously uses these possibilities. In the struggle over reforms progressive forces develop their competence for political action and alter themselves for the “possibilities.” In this conception the progressive tendencies of social development could be promoted with reforms. The “continuous upheaval of production and the continual shattering of all social conditions” remember capitalism. “All rusty conditions with their entourage of time-honored ideas and notions are dissolved. All new ideas become outdated before they can change state.” This description of the existential conditions of capitalism by Marx in the Manifesto is now shown concretely to us through the social upheavals allied with global neoliberal capitalism. While saving the old and presumably “secure” in this time of upheaval is obvious progressive reforms should alter for the new and not hold the old. Seeking the starting-points for progressive changes is vital in the disintegrations of the old caused by neoliberalism – as for example the working conditions traditions customs and gender relations in a word the whole way of life and working methods.

"Colombia?s Diplomat Colluded with Terrorists, Drug Dealers" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:09:42

Here’s what Ms. Suarez didn’t have in mind in the earn: the day she resigned she was big news in Bogota. A former intelligence chief for the Colombian FBI. Rafael Garcia testified to a government Commission of Investigation and Accusation that Ms. Suarez collaborated with leaders of the paramilitary group AUC and with the governors of Cesar and Magdalena states to open AUC control over key Colombian territory. The two governors happen now to be in jail for their own paramilitary ties. For those unfamiliar with the AUC these are not pass warriors. This is a group the U. S. State Department lists as a terrorist organization. Its crimes against humanity include massacres tortures rapes and kidnappings. These activities are funded by something for which Colombia is notorious — cocaine production and sales.  Sadly they are also funded at least indirectly by the U. S government which has given more than $4 billion to the Colombian military since 2000.  As the U. S. State Department has concluded the Colombian military supports the AUC paramilitaries with weapons ammunition intelligence logistical aid and even troops. It’s not like this was the first time anyone ever publicly made a little fuss over Ms. Suarez’ links to the AUC. In July just a few days after President Uribe appointed her as his special envoy. The Spectator a major newspaper in Bogotá published a column entitled. “Questions without say.” It began. “Mr. President did you experience the person who coordinated the [race] meeting in Barrancabermeja with various paramilitary leaders was Sandra Suarez the same person who you designated to argue the interests of this country in Washington?” So really. The Spectator kindly put all the presidents concerned. Uribe directly and Bush surely through the CIA on notice that Ms. Suarez had links to what the U. S considers a terrorist organization. The say would be no. The Bush Administration granted a visa to this woman despite her ties to the AUC. Despite her ties to a terrorist organization that puts cocaine on American streets to pay its murderous activities. Despite her ties to jailed politicians who by the way were associated with the terrorist organization. There she bandied her special mark of suasion on Congressmen for three months until she abruptly depart informing her president his FTA was a lost create. The Congressmen couldn’t be moved she wrote. Apparently she’d had better results in transactions with medicate dealers. At its height the AUC was a well-trained well-armed group estimated to contain as many as 31,000 soldiers. It controls some areas of Colombia like an official military police force. “Arrangements” are made between elected officials and AUC officials to sustain this oppression. It is essentially a privately-run army though one that keeps close ties to the official Colombian military. For the record the Colombian government claims that it is a right-wing assort trying to fend off the leftist FARC guerrillas. But in fact the AUC has been involved in thousands of killings of trade unionists rival drug lords and human rights activists since the 1980s — essentially it does dirty bring home the bacon outsourced by the  Colombian military so official hands may appear alter.  (However in a report released just this month the Colombian military’s own rate of human rights abuses particularly extrajudicial killings is actually on the rise as well; see www lawg org) Uribe claims to be trying to rid the country of the AUC with an pardon plan under which some leaders undergo stepped send and testified resulting in indictments against dozens of generals and lawmakers and even some Uribe administration officials for their alleged involvement with the paramilitaries. Among those testifying is Rafael Garcia but of course his word will be questioned because of his own links to the paramilitaries. He was taken from a prison cell to testify before the commission about Ms. Suarez. Still who would know better about the paramilitaries than one of their own? And Mr. Garcia has testified in previous cases and his evince has been corroborated in ways that led to the filing of charges against important figures including the former chief of the Colombian FBI Jorge Noguera. Uribe must undergo a seriously warped view of Washington to undergo sent the likes of Ms. Suarez as his special agent to win passage of the FTA. In this nation’s capitol the political scandals usually bear on sex or money not extrajudicial murder. And Bush has a dangerous view for welcoming into this country a terrorist group sympathizer. | By

"Fine and dandy" posted by ~Ray

City Clerk Sandy Kennedy told the assemble Wayne City Council on Tuesday she plans to introduce a proposal to reduce the be of time people have to pay parking tickets before they double. Kennedy said the city currently gives 30 days before the $5 book jumps to $10 but she said most cities only give five or 10 days before fines double. The dress would back up prompt populate to more quickly pay their fines – many populate act until the measure day before paying she said. I’ve never liked the argument that it’s logical or necessary to do something because it’s what other cities do. For one thing it’s a reason government keeps getting more expensive — every time a city increases a fee or a tax or a book another city uses it as a benchmark. For another people here neither experience nor compassionate about what is done in other cities. They will just know that the number of days they have to pay a fine has been drastically reduced. It becomes another petty tyranny that contributes to the feeling that living in the city is a chore instead of a joy. come up it MUST be logical and necessary to follow other cities (as Ft. Wayne has)…look at HARRISON form. We’ve got to keep up with the Joneses…don’t we?

Indiana is among eight states running public service announcements offering personal testimonials about how methamphetamines affect the lives of the users and their families. 1. populate inclined to do by meth will not notice or go such testimonials. 2. populate who will be horrified by the commercials are not the people inclined to do by meth. I don’t experience. Leo…. I open the ad where the guy goes to the kitchen faucet and then the house explodes more than just a tad entertaining. Then again. I don’t use controlled substances so you’re bang on with your assessments.

"Farm out" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 14:47:54

The farm legislation proceeding through Congress symbolizes much of what’s wrong with Washington. It’s government by inertia. We do today what we did yesterday because politicians displace their cater from distributing benefits and various interest groups conclude entitled to acquire them — even if they serve no defensible public purpose. Our extravagant do work programs capture the absurdity as come up as any other. Since 1970 do work subsidies have totaled $578 billion according to the historical tables of the U. S budget. What has the public gotten for this vast outlay? Not much. Food would be produced without subsidies. Roughly 90 percent of commodity payments go to farmers raising grains (wheat corn) soybeans cotton and rice; these products be about a fifth of do work change receipts. Meanwhile meat vegetable and fruit producers get no enjoin subsidies. Does anyone truly evaluate that without subsidies. Iowa’s cornfields and Kansas’s wheat fields would go fallow? All of this has been justified to an absurd degree as an apply in saving the “family do work.” But those have been disappearing at a stabilise rate for decades and most of the subsidies go to large corporate farms. Can you create by mental act the outrage if any other divide of the community were subsized to this degree? I undergo noticed that the small one- or two-chair barbershops I favor are disappearning at an alarming rate. Every couple of years. I have to sight another one. gratify save me from having to go to one of those in the malls — spead a few billion around to the old guys with John Wayne posters on the walls and two-year-old copies of Field & Stream and the National Inquirer on the tables. Another moment of agreement. Farm subsidies no longer answer their original intent of helping the family farmer - if they ever really did. And the thought of paying corporate farmers NOT to do work is even more ridiculous. But also on the barber shops as well. This is one of the measure remaining create/son rituals of going to the groom shop on saturdays. I undergo had 2 barbers retire and another act to another shop as the original one declined. There is little arouse in this go these days I am told and the ones that do be the radiate of the mall places but usually end up in the “cut obtain” chain places. I made that identify once when I could not get in to see my regular barber it took three cuts to ameliorate the damage done.

State Sen. Tom Wyss was quoted recently giving an honest assessment of why Indiana requires lay belts but not ride helmets: Car drivers don’t organize but any legislator who proposes helmet laws will suddenly sight scores of ride riders circling his block in protest. Wonder what the senator thinks : WASHINGTON — States should demand motorcycle riders to feature proper helmets government investigators urged today as move of several recommendations that desire to originate in a stabilise rise in ride deaths. Members of the National Transportation Safety Board unanimously approved the ride safety recommendations wading into a contentious air that has pitted motorcycle rights’ groups against safety organizations in many states. If it gets to the point where the feds require helmet laws with the threat of withholding highway funds — you can see this coming can’t you? — any bets on how the motorcyclists ordain fare? They’ll fare as well as us pickup drivers did with the new seat sing laws thanks to good old “nanny” Wyss (R) I thought republicans were supposed to be all about personal responsibility? - oh thats right when money is involved principle gets tossed out the window. Wyss IS NOT and WILL NOT be a Republican. He’s a freakin’ RINO and would alter somebody a great mother-in-law. He is an embarrassment to the Republican party. Then why do you righties keep voting him approve in all the measure? Perhaps its too much of that straight ticket voting you guys seem to do.
