________________________________________

1. Early life of John D. Rockefeller
This video shows the chronological time-line of the Rockefeller family, starting with how William Avery 'Devil Bill' Rockefeller Sr. (1810-1906) schooled his son John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) to be a cunning businessman. 'Devil Bill' Rockefeller's son John D. Rockefeller became successful in the commodities trade at a very young age

2. The creation of the biggest oil monopoly in the world.
John D. Rockefeller then decided to seek his fortune elsewhere and moved to Cleveland Ohio, where the oil business began to boom. There he established an oil refinery and gained prosperity through cunning plots, ruthlessness, conspiracy, shady deals and other criminal deeds. John D's. "Standard Oil" company would grow and expand to become the biggest oil monopoly in the world. The Standard Oil monopoly got so big and powerful, that in 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the oil company violated the US Antitrust Law and that it had to be split up. This created various new successful Rockefeller oil companies, such as Exxon-Mobil (Esso), Chevron Corporation, Texaco and Gulf Oil. Having a positive effect on the stock market, the 1911 Supreme Court decision in effect made the Rockefeller family even more rich and powerful.

The Rockefellers have always had intimate business and family relations with other powerful family dynasties, such as the Morgan banking family, members of the steel magnates of the Carnegie family, the DuPont family and the Rothschild banking families from Europe. The Rockefellers were connected to the Union Pacific Railroad company of E.H. Harriman. They were involved in the sponsorship of the Kuhn & Loeb bank in the United Kingdom and they had numerous business deals with Hitler's Nazi regime in Germany. There were the instrumental force behind the German chemical company I.G. Farben, which built and controlled the concentration camp Auschwitz, situated around the I.G. Farben chemical factory. Rockefeller's Standard Oil patented fuel even powered the entire Nazi air force 'the Luftwaffe'.

3. David Rockefeller in the 20th and 21st century.
During the 20th century David Rockefeller and other descendants of John D. Rockefeller maintained their wealth through banking, oil and expanded their power through politics and think-tanks or other non government organisations (NGOs). David Rockefeller, the oldest member of the Rockefeller family, is one of the founding members of the secretive Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.

4. The full dominance of the Rockefeller empire
The power of the Rockefeller family is not limited to the oil industry, they control large portions of the banking industry, the central banking system in the US through the Federal Reserve and overseas the European Central Bank. Through Rockefeller-controlled companies, organisations, think-tanks and other NGO's the family created The United Nations, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Planned Parenthood, the Population Council, the Council of the Americas and the Rockefeller Foundation. Among other Rockefeller companies are: Monsanto, United Airlines, American Airlines, American Railroads, AT&T, Honeywell, Quaker Oats, and AXA Equitable Life Insurance. The estimated combined Rockefeller fortune is so big that it can be expressed in percentages of the entire US economy. The ultimate plan of these international oligarchs is to enslave humanity under a tyrannical one world government, ruled and controlled by them.

The Modern International Monetary System By Sheikh Imran N Hosein

 SIGNS OF THE END TIMES  5/3/17 By Sheikh Imran N Hosein







 Lecture from Sheikh Imran N. Hosein from the IBN studio in Trinidad and Tobago on SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The topic is an "Islamic view of the modern international monetary system and our anticipation of the replacement, in toto, of bogus paper-money with even-more-bogus electronic, digital, virtual money in the not-too-distant future. We should prepare for that monetary Guantanamo by stocking-up on gold and silver coins, and we should also prepare ourselves to defy the IMF and its satraps by trading with gold and silver. If we do not act now, the future world of money will enslave us, so we should prepare ourselves for that slavery. This lecture will be repeated on Sunday February 12th on the website ibnttt.com. Subsequent lectures will be broadcast live every Sunday morning (Youm al Ahad) at 8am (Trinidad time) from the same website. Questions (which will be answered on the program), can be sent by email to inhosein@hotmail.com. Please let us know your city and country of residence. INH

Ancient Hidden Technology | Michael Tellinger

 A man who is a discovery-man, Michael Tellinger, is an author, scientist and explorer. Michael has made some really groundbreaking discoveries about ancient vanished civilizations at the southern tip of Africa. His continued efforts and analytical scientific approach have produced stunning new evidence that will force us to rethink our origins and rewrite our history books. Michael has discovered that the Sumerian civilization left behind a detailed account of human activity in millions of clay tablets that continue to reveal critical human behavior and outlines the relationship between the Anunnaki gods and the people of Sumeria.

Scholars have told us that the first civilization on Earth emerged in a land called Sumeria some 6000 years ago. And new archaeological and scientific discoveries made by Michael Tellinger, Johan Heine and a team of leading scientists, show that the Sumerians and even the Egyptians inherited all their knowledge and technology from an earlier civilization.

Saturn Creates our False Reality - David Icke

 Archons, Gnosticism & The Reptilian Agenda - David Icke






 Saturn creates our false reality.The Matrix prison of illusion. The Archons/Reptilians need it in order to create and maintain our false reality that is a manufactured illusion. The Archons and Reptilians do not have our power of creativity and are not
co-creators having the power to create. They can only copy and mimic. The power to create comes from us humans. We do not need a machine to create, we merely need the belief that we can in order to release our power within.
The problem is that the reptilian mind control has taught us that we have no such power and that we are products of random chance or powerless sinners before God. We are birds that have been taught that it is better to walk because flying is impossible and it is also heretical and blasphemous thinking.
The Reptilians have mind controlled us into believing that we have no spiritual power.
In the film used, Dark City, the Strangers Archons/Reptilians no longer need the machine of Saturn to have the power to create. This is because they are merging with the character John Murdock who has unlimited power, but he has no memory of any power until he is forced to remember through a replacement injection. He then remembers and begins to believe in himself as he releases the power. He now wakes-up from his spiritual slumber. The Archons are no match for this new Neo (The Matrix) and his power within.
Another main structure is a special Archon technology on the etheric plane. They are projection chambers that project certain images / emotional states that are not ours on our outer auric membrane. So other people feel this projected image and not our true state. This is the source of most conflicts / projections in human relationships. When this technology is removed, people will suddenly find much more harmony in their relationships.*
The Archons seem to often show senseless behaviour. They get a thrill from causing human emotions like fear and from creating confusion. It is implied that the Archons feed energetically of human emotions because they do not have any emotions themselves, thus do not have any emotional energy of their own

NSA Whistleblower Releases Documents Proving Trump Surveillance

These Government Intelligence Agencies are FAR TOO LARGE and go looking for ANYTHING they can get on anyone, especially people in power that disagree with them! If you are one that disagrees you are being watched! Since J Edgar Hoover the FBI has grown and have their own Agenda and do NOT get in their way or your arse belongs to them! The Intel Agencies have grown so much and not necessarily for We the People but Against us and the people we put in power! The people that voted for President Trump wanted REAL CHANGE and Intel has their own ideas about what and how much Change they will ACCEPT! We the People will always get it in the end, Shit runs downhill and we are at the bottom! We do NOT fit into Intel, or Politicians Plan for this ONCE Great Nation, we are only told what they want us to know and nothing more!

I have seen so much over the years that changed exactly who we were and where we are heading it scares me to death! Although it don't really bother me for myself, I am on the wrong side of life to be too worried about what MAY HAPPEN in America but I do have children and Grandchildren I do worry about and I do NOT like what I see going on in the Swamp they like to call DC!

 President Trump has been on the right side from the very beginning, almost like he has the book with what will happen IF things don't change for the better! Yes, we must #Drain the Swamp, set #Term Limits and Fire Everyone in prior administrations, no matter WHO becomes POTUS in the Future! All present and Future POTUS's should Drain the Swamp upon entering office to keep things running smoothly! Let NO Appointee stick around for another term! That only cements what THEY FEEL should be done and the direction on how they will work to advance their personal Agendas!

Gerald Celente Dire Warning : Bank Holiday Coming and it is not going to be a Holiday

 The Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting —The purpose of trend forecasting is to provide insights and directions in anticipation of what the future may bring -- and to be prepared for the unexpected.

Gerald Celente, a Close Combat practitioner and black belt trainer, well understands the importance of proacting rather than reacting: "The first rule of Close Combat is to attack the attacker. Action is faster than reaction. The same holds true for the future. You know the future is coming ... attack it before it attacks you."

Founder of The Trends Research Institute in 1980, Gerald Celente is a pioneer trend strategist. He is author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking (Warner Books) -- "Far better than Megatrends," and publisher of the internationally circulated Trends Journal newsletter.

Political Atheist — Gerald Celente is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is "think for yourself," observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends for what they are -- not for the way he wants them to be.

Like a doctor giving a diagnosis after gathering the facts, whether or not you like the prognosis doesn't alter the outcome, make him an optimist or pessimist -- it's simply what is. And while Celente holds a US passport, he considers himself a citizen of the world.

Globalnomic® Trend Forecaster — Using his unique perspectives on current events forming future trends, Gerald Celente developed the Globalnomic® methodology which is used to identify, track, forecast and manage trends.

The world's only trends analyst covering 300 diversified trends fields, Gerald Celente and the Trends Research Institute provide trend research studies and consulting services to businesses and governments worldwide. Celente also designed the nation's first professional course in trend forecasting.

The proof is in his past — Gerald Celente has earned his reputation as "The most trusted name in trends" by accurately forecasting hundreds of social, business, consumer, environmental, economic, political, entertainment, and technology trends. Among them:
Celente coined the term "clean foods" in 1993 and predicted sustained growth in organic products in 1988.

16 Years ago The Simpsons Predicted Trump will Bankrupt America !!

 The Simpsons Predicted Trump will Bankrupt America 16 Years ago !!
Donald Trump seems willing to plunge the world economy into chaos. He was quoted as saying that he “loves debt,” and is willing to allow the United States to go bankrupt to get a good deal.

“In an interview Thursday on CNBC, Donald Trump broke with tired clichés about the evils of federal debt accumulation. "I am the king of debt," he said. "I love debt. I love playing with it."

But he replaced fearmongering about debt with an even more alarming notion — a bankruptcy of the United States federal government that would incinerate the world economy.

"I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal," Trump said. "And if the economy was good, it was good. So therefore, you can't lose."

The Globalists want us all enslaved -- Mike Rivero

What Really Happened: Michael Rivero (Mike Rivero) Monday 3/20/17: (Commercial Free VIDEO)











Mike Rivero is the host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network and webmaster of whatreallyhappened.com, now in its 22nd year. Both the radio show and website enjoy a large and growing global audience. He is a frequent guest on talk-radio and has appeared in television programs such as History Channel’s “America’s Book of Secrets.”

Mike Rivero’s background is as eclectic as his radio show and website. Formerly with NASA, Mike transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as a child actor) into the then-new computer animation field, starting with award winning commercials, then working on films such as “Star Trek”, “The Day After Tomorrow”, and later supervising visual effects on “Brainscan”, “LOST”, and “Hawaii Five-0”. Mike Rivero has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism.

Mike Rivero’s foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the murder of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster.Since that abrupt beginning, What Really Happened, both website and radio show, has expanded to cover diverse topics including the assassinations, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddam’s non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and the ongoing propaganda used to trick the American people into wars of conquest in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and other nations.

Mike Rivero currently resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer, choir conductor, and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show, as well as occasionally participating as a commentator.

David Icke : They Are Building A Technological Prison For Humanity

 They Are Building A Technological Prison For Humanity - David Icke - Dot Connector Videocast Google is a prime driver in this transhumanist agenda, in league with DARPA, the tech development arm of the Pentagon, one of most sinister agencies on Earth, developing death rays, surveillance tech, mind control, effect ways of killing. This combo of DARPA and Google is at the forefront of pushing the transhuman agenda and Kurzweil is also an executive at Google, called chief futurist, or something like that, so you begin to see explanations for strange happenings. Some years ago a lady named Regina Dugan, head executive of DARPA moved from DARPA in a strange career move to Google. But when you do the research and see what’s going on… It was then actually in effect an interdepartmental transfer. Google is fundamentally involved in this entire scenario. They recently took over a company called Boston Dynamics, one of the prime organizations developing AI controlled machines, smaller-145d-darpa-m15robots who are under contract to…DARPA! And this combo is extremely important to understand in relation to this agenda of control, connecting the human mind to the tech CLOUD. Also in development is a robot army. I have long talked about the creation of the World Army for the World Government, but one step further is, in the end they don’t want that to be an army of humans, but an army of machines controlled by AI, making the decisions of who to kill and who to bomb. And this isn’t me surmising or pulling this out of the ether, you see this now in news headlines as these techs come to light, high tech, where in Dallas we had the first killing by a robot, claimed to be [because of a] shooting at police. So we are now in an arena of sci-fi and sci-fi is supposed to be fiction projecting into the future, coming from imagination, but is now science fact and is all around us, being driven by the Singularity University and Google. Google has changed much of its company’s name to ALPHABET, a reason for that I would strongly suggest, because all of these areas that they are involved in, have become so vastly much more than just a search engine. Deep Underground Militry Bases, DUMBS, Transhumanism, Human Robots, Smart Technology, Ray Kurzweil

Benjamin Fulford Update : Rothschilds surrender US Corporation bankrupt USA Republic accepts shared human destiny

The Satan worshipping cabal suffered crushing defeats last week on all fronts multiple sources agree. The biggest news is that US President Donald Trump announced last week that the cabal owned United States Corporation founded in 1861 has been replaced with the Republic of the United States of America that was founded in 1776.

The Satan worshipping cabal suffered crushing defeats last week on all fronts multiple sources agree. The biggest news is that US President Donald Trump announced last week that the cabal owned United States Corporation founded in 1861 has been replaced with the Republic of the United States of America that was founded in 1776. For details on this see here:

http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.jp/

That is why the talk of US government functions shutting down on March 15th as the US $20 trillion debt limit was reached failed to materialize. The debt belonged to the Corporation, not the Republic. The Corporation has been declared bankrupt and the debt null and void, multiple sources agree. That is because United States Corporation Secretary of State and slave to Corporation top shareholder David Rockefeller Jr. Rex Tillerson failed in his effort to get funding for it in Asia last week, Asian secret society sources say.

Japanese imperial family sources say Rockefeller bagman Henry Kissinger showed up with Rex Tillerson and both threatened the Imperial family in a failed effort to get them to cash a bogus 4京(kei) yen (40 trillion dollar) World Bank bond so that they could keep the US Corporation going and place their flunky Ichiro Ozawa as Prime Minister of Japan. Ozawa is despised in Japanese government circles and will not be allowed near the Prime Minister’s office so the request was denied, Japanese right wing sources say.

Frugal Living -- Debt-Free West Texas Estate

 Seven years ago John Wells sold his heavily-mortgaged home in upstate New York and bought 40 acres in West Texas for $8000. The area (Brewster County) is so isolated there are no codes or zoning restrictions so Wells built his own tiny home (in 9 days with $1600) relying on his set-building experience.

Not wanting to rely on outside labor, Wells has continued to build his own services: a solar shower, a basic composting toilet, a bike-powered washing machine, an Airstream guest house, and a huge greenhouse which also houses 4 shipping containers he hopes to convert to housing/office space.

Wells named his homestead (now 40 acres, he bought a second 20 acres for $500) the Field Lab (short for “Southwest Texas Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living Field Laboratory”) and he likes to experiment with off-grid solutions: one of his latest is a more-powerful solar oven.

Canada is Now The New Eldorado for The Illegal Aliens

The crackdown on immigration in the United States under the Trump administration has turned Buffalo, New York into a hiding spot for undocumented immigrants hoping to escape the Department of Homeland Security and eventually make their way to Canada, where they can claim refugee status.


VICE News Tonight correspondent Roberto Ferdman followed José Castillo, who recently decided he had no other alternative, as he fled the United States to make his journey to Canada and restart his life. He sought sanctuary in a church in Buffalo for weeks, where his family joined him so they could sneak their way up to the border.

5 Ways Technology is Changing War

the problem that America has is that it hasn't fought a major war with a REAL country in about 60 years. If world war three breaks out technology like this and the cost to produce it would get hit and removed quickly. They are demonstrating shooting fish in a barrel. If it isn't a backwater third world Muslim country there would be a lot of countermeasures and a lot better concealment. Also we seemed to have forgotten that if a major war breaks out it quickly will be about attrition. How many men into the grinder how fast can you manufacture vehicles and guns. During the second world war places like the Soviet Union had factories working around the clock to produce weapons quickly that were efficient but not very comfortable because they were designed to be destroyed. Look at these things they are luxury weapons. They won't last past the first month or two.

Top 10 Creepy Yet To Happen Simpson Predictions

10 Yet to Happen Simpson Predictions: Sex Robots, Cashless Society, Trump, Human Hybrid


1. Going Online With Your Mind -
* Not as far fetched as you would imagine. We already have technology that can project your thoughts into video image form!

2. Sex Robots -
* Seems like this one would never happen, but in actuality, we already have partial sex robots and more are under development as we speak!

3. Sharia Law in America -
* With the direction Europe has been going and the recent developments in Dearborn, Michigan, it would not be too shocking if Dearborn Michigan was one day under Sharia Law!

4. Human Clones -
* Though illegal in many countries, some recent legislation allows for some testing in Europe, which shows a president for this one day actually occurring as they already have the scientific capability.

5. Cashless Society -
* Wondering why they keep changing how you pay at your local grocery store? It is because they want us one day microchipped and paying by waving your hand over a payment processor. May sound interesting to some, but in actuality it is far less secure and definitely not in your best interest.

6. Soul extraction -
* Could something this crazy be standard in the future? Well, some ancient cults (such as unto Dionysus) trapped people's spirits in icons and bracelets. The concept was they could gain soul energy from drinking their blood and trapping their souls (animal or human!)

7. President Donald Trump -
* I am sure you have seen more than one video covering the Simpson prediction of a Donald Trump Presidency. But, I am pretty sure you did not know that the elevator scene on most of these videos is a spoof, as they claim it was from the year 2000 episode about Trump, when in reality, the Elevator scene was from the 2015 episode after he did it in real life.

8. Catastrophic Enviromental Event -
* With how technology and pollution is going, could a massive environmental catastrophe occur? Consider Japan's Fukushima disaster on a much larger scale.

9. People Rejecting New Tech Control Will be Outcasts -
* Could the rich and poor divide become a different division between those with the new technology and those who reject the microchip? Could we have a mad max underbelly in some parts of our society?

10. Genetic Hybrid Animal/Humans -
* With the cloning and dna manipulation of plants and animals, would it be too shocking if your pets one day could speak and be more of a hybrid? A shocking Orwellian future!

Why do we comply to elites?.. Is it because we are gullible, frightened, no where to go except them to protect us.. Remember God is watching & not only watching, God knows what's in our hearts. So let's fear God & be his servants & not fear humanity so to become their slaves!.. Life is a test be with the best!!!.











Putin is an atheist like most of the intelligent people, he is also a good politician and he knows the importance of the orthodox church in Russia... I wouldn't bet he is working with the rich jews of the world... Trump on the other hand is deep in dept to the east coast NY

RED ALERT : Again North Korea Threatens to Nuke Japan and The U.S.

 North Korea's Kim Jong Un has finally exhausted the patience that allowed the psychopathic regime to play its twisted inhumane games since Jong Un was declared Supreme Leader in 2011.

North Korea's 7.5 billion dollar military budget compared to the United States annual budget of 580 billion is laughable. Still, that isn't stopping Kim Jong Un from testing 4 ballistic missiles in the Sea of Japan and threatening to fire an intercontinental nuclear missile on the United States.

JAPAN TIMES writes "North Korea heralded the successful development of a new “high-thrust engine”
The facility is near the site where the isolated country launched four extended-range Scud missiles earlier this month as part of a practice exercise aimed at striking U.S. military bases in Japan.

#Trump's Jewish Entourage : A quick look at JARED KUSHNER

Lets make America jewsih again, sorry to break it to you but this is most trusted advisor and the man with his foot on the throttle of tearing the country apart for good.













That is why I continue to say: Is the wall being built to keep 'them' out or to keep us in?? Think about it.The BEAST SYSTEM will take over; it is the BEAST of the SEA written about in Revelation 13 and it's name is the UNITED NATIONS. The 7 heads: 1.Egypt 2.Assyria 3.Babylon 4.Medio-Persia 5. Greece 6. Rome 7. Great Britain and finally the last beast 8. United Nations is the beast system. The image of the beast? TV, Computers, Cellphones.When martial law is called soon, every citizen will be required to register with the postal service. There is where we will get our very own personal identification number based on a bar code. The "mark" system began when they created the UPC codes for tracking inventory. Each bar code has three guard bars. One in the beginning which tells the computer to start reading the bars for the item - one in the middle which tells the computer to stop reading the item bars and begin reading the manufacturer bars and finally the last guard bar which tells the computer to stop reading. Each guard bar has two lines and these lines are longer than the bars for the items and manufacturer. Each guard bar has a value of 6. So, three guard bars are 666 - of the Beast System. A law has already been written which will require each citizen to register with the postal service after martial law is called. Each citizen will receive a new identification number. It will be in bar code form which will include a guard bar followed by our location such as 33523-2230 followed by a guard bar and then our social security number and finally the last guard bar. So, each "man" will have an ID number with a 666 in it in guard bar form within the Beast System. The new ID numbers may come in the form of cards with a RFID chip, but eventually all citizens will be required to be micro-chipped with a RFID chip which will include our new ID number. Those who refuse will not be able to "buy or sell". Finally, those who continue to refuse will be killed. Revelation 17:10-11) "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. {11} And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."Seven Kings (beast systems) written at the time that John was at Patmos Island: 1.Egypt 2.Assyria 3.Babylon 4.Medio-Persia 5.Greece. One is: 6. Rome ----the other is not yet come: 7. Great Britain. After the U.K. was defeated after WW2, the very same group, not the men but the group i.e. Freemasons, devised a way to corrupt the American economy. They did so by creating the Federal Reserve in 1913. After that they created the Council on Foreign Relations and its sister Council in the U.K. along with the Bank of England. These are the Freemason Bankers. They then created, the they being the U.K. and U.S., the United Nations in the 1940's. So, the U.K. was of the 7, and is of the 8th. A map of the world (7 heads/continents) has been created dividing it up into 10 regions (kings) who will eventually give their authority over to the false messiah who will rule from the U.N. The Freemasons also have plans to build a likeness of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, but we know that the temple Satan wants to reside in is our temples (bodies).The seen world is temporary while the unseen world is permanent. When our flesh body dies, the spirit returns to the Father who gave it and the soul goes either to heaven or hell. Those who have repented of their sins and debts and have given their lives over to the Savior Jesus Christ will go to the Kingdom of Heaven and those who have not done so will go down into the lake of fire and eternal torment. Please choose wisely.

FUNNY : Trump Refuses to Shake Hands With Angela Merkel

Donald Trump has apparently refused to shake Angela Merkel's hand during a joint appearance at the White House. The pair held an awkward meeting that could help determine the future of the transatlantic alliance and shape the working relationship between two of the world's most powerful leaders. While the President greeted the German leader with a handshake upon her arrival at the White House, he appeared to ignore requests to do so as the pair sat together later in front of TV cameras.

#Trump : The Conspiracy Behind The Facts

 An ugly and controversial U.S. election campaign got even uglier – and more bizarre – after the election was over. In recent days, Donald Trump has faced a storm of questions about his Russian connections. Meanwhile, the  FBI is also taking incoming fire over how it publicly handled the Clinton email affair – while remaining silent about its probe of Trump’s Russian ties.  In the wild final days of the campaign, it seemed as if the name of Vladimir Putin was heard almost as much as Trump or Clinton. On Inauguration Day January 20, The Fifth Estate’s Bob McKeown looks at what was behind the triumph of Trump – and the disturbing questions left unanswered.

Can #Trump Defeat The Deep State - Shadow Government

 The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government


Every Four years, tempers are tested and marriages fray as Americans head to the polls to cast their votes. But does anyone really care what we think? Has our vaunted political system become one big, expensive, painfully scriped reality TV show? In this cringe-inducing expose of the sins and excesses of Beltwayland, a longtime Republican party insider argues that we have become an oligarchy in form if not in name. Hooked on war, genuflecting to big donors, in thrall to discredited economic theories and utterly bereft of a moral compass, America’s governing classes are selling their souls to entrenched interest while our bridges collapse, wages, stagnate, and our water is increasingly undrinkable.

Drawing on sinsights gleaned over three decades on Capitol Hill, much of it on the Budget Committee, Lofgren paints a gripping portrait of the dismal swamp on the Potomac and the revolution it will take to reclaim our government and set us back on course.




The Deep State by Mike Lofgren is a truly important book of contemporary history. Like a diagnosis of cancer, the subject matter of this book is something that you do not want to believe but must recognize in the face of overwhelming evidence before the difficult and dangerous task of rooting out the pathology can begin. The gift of this book can best be described as “wising up the suckers.” Please excuse the mobster terminology but we have been played so many times, in so many ways, that even those who think they are the “wise guys” are really the stooges who perform the grunt work for those who pack away the huge financial scores. The Deep State will help the scales fall from your eyes and you will see that we are no longer citizens but subjects to be financially farmed, quantified, conditioned and intimidated into adherence to a faux religion that worships money. Mike Lofgren handles the vast panorama of these volatile matters as a cool and disciplined scholar who unsparingly dissects each of the monstrosities and fallacies that underpin the Deep State. After delineating the vast sweep of these festering problems, Mike Lofgren concludes with a rational program to counter these menaces. The Deep State could be one of the most important books of this century.

Stock Market Will Fall at Least 50% | Michael Pento

 Money Manager Michael Pento predicted the bond market would ultimately collapse in his 2013 book titled “The Coming Bond Market Collapse.” He says the collapse has started and will get worse quickly. Pento is watching Europe and says, “When the European Central Bank (ECB) announces they are going to take the $60 billion a month of easing and take it to zero, you are going to see a bond market revolt. The free market, whatever is left of it, is going to aggressively start shorting bonds. You will see yields spike in Europe, which is going to drag up bond yields across the globe. That’s when this thing will all unravel and unravel very, very quickly.”

In closing, Pento predicts, “The stock market is a bubble. It’s going to fall at least 50% for starters and before Janet Yellen gets to helicopter money. You better be ready.”

Ethics and the International Monetary Fund

Ethics and the International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund is an international organization that oversees the global financial system and aims to help normalize exchange rate volatility and balance of payments.  The primary goal of the IMF is to help foster a competitive, healthy global economy.  One primary way that the IMF helps to foster a healthy global economy is by coming to the aid of counties that are facing major economic challenges.  Developed, industrialized nations never borrow money from the United States.  In fact, the U.S. government has not borrowed from the IMF since World War II.

One of the most common and primary actions of the IMF is to extend financial aid to weak countries.  If a country is facing extremely harsh economic conditions or even the prospect of possible sovereign default, which means it cannot meet its debt obligations, then the IMF will generally step in and help by providing funds to the country in need.  The country can then use these funds to pay back creditors and avoid a sovereign default.  Thus, the IMF helps to stabilize the economy of struggling nations.  It seems like everything is perfect, right?  Struggling countries get the funds they need to stave off creditors and financial markets stabilize.  Unfortunately, the picture is not always so perfect.

There is widespread criticism surrounding the IMF.  In order to understand the criticism, one must understand the process by which a struggling country secures funds from the IMF.  If a country is in need of a bailout, it approaches the IMF and presents a formal request for funds.  The IMF then does an in-depth analysis of fiscal and economic conditions of the country, and then decides how much money the country needs to stabilize the economy.  The IMF then commits to disburse these funds to the struggling country, but there are strings attached.  These strings are the cause of much criticism.

Once the IMF makes a decision to bail out a specific country, it then notifies the country how much financial aid it will be receiving.  However, the entire disbursement is not made at one time.  Instead, the IMF disburses the funds in several stages, typically 3, and at each stage, the struggling country will not receive the next disbursement unless it has taken specific steps that the IMF has demanded.

Typically, if a country is in need of a bailout it is because there are serious problems at the governmental level concerning basic money management.  Therefore, in most cases, the IMF will place very strict contingency requirements on its disbursement of funds.  For example, the most common type of requirement includes an immediate reduction in government spending and deficits.  This requires countries receiving IMF aid to institute what are referred to as austerity measures in hopes that the economy will stabilize and currency rates will stabilize in the forex market.

Austerity measures are specific actions a government takes in order to slash government spending and bring down deficits.  Austerity measures can include a wide array of actions, but common measures would be cutting government spending habits such as pensions, healthcare, education and other publicly funded operations, and austerity measures can also include significantly raising taxes.  These austerity measures are the strings that are attached to an IMF bailout, and these strings are why many critics accuse the IMF of unethical behavior.

The Impact of Austerity Measures

When a government is forced to enact strict austerity measures in its economy, it oftentimes is forced to cut government spending in key areas such as healthcare, education, and pensions.  A drastic spending cut in healthcare often leads to severe problems.  A cut leads to many doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals losing jobs, and it is common for entire hospitals and healthcare centers to shut down when austerity measures hit an economy.  Some studies have linked increasing tuberculosis and other preventable deaths to IMF austerity measures in several countries in Africa.

The major critics of the IMF state that decreased spending in these struggling countries may be needed, but should it be in the all-important sectors of education and healthcare?  It is true that every country that approaches the IMF for funds has managed finances and investments very poorly, or else they would not be in the situation they are in.  However, if spending in these areas is cut, sure it may bring the government deficit down and increase the competitiveness of the economy over time, but the ethical debate is—how much are these economic benefits worth as measured by human lives?  If austerity measures are going to result in the death of thousands of people, are they worth it?  This is the ethical debate.

On one side, proponents of the IMF state that a government cannot simply be allowed to continue mismanaging national finances forever, but on the other side, critics argue that it is not worth it to sacrifice thousands of lives in order to bring some economic advancement.  There must be a way to correct the economy without having to sacrifice human lives.
