    The corrupt fear us. The honest support us. The heroic join us.

    AT LEAST 70,000 AND COUNTING… BIG MEDIA BLACKOUT “Occupy Wall Street”

    10 questions about “Occupy Wall Street” that should be answered urgently:

    1. Why are peaceful protesters being treated as if they are criminals?

    2. Why are thousands of police, and SWAT teams and police dogs, being mobilized to protect Wall Street bankers?

    3. Why are almost all the mainstream media outlets in America ignoring a major civil protest in the heart of New York?

    4. Why do the police not pursue criminal bankers and business leaders with the same venom and force that they use when pursuing protesters who have so far done nothing wrong?

    5. Why is nothing being done to address the genuine economic problems in America? Why, instead, is the old system – the one that failed disastrously in 2008 – being rebuilt brick by brick, fault by fault?

    6. How much longer will the doctrine of ‘plausible denial’ be allowed to act as an excuse for widespread corruption and criminality?

    7. Why (if true) was the Occupy Wall Street protest treated as a police code 1-34, which is used for riots? Are all protests now riots?

    8. Why has not one banker or corporate leader emerged to talk to the protesters or debate with them?

    9. Is it a coincidence that many people in the heart of the protest have had trouble getting mobile / cellphone / internet signals?

    10. Does the government genuinely believe the pent-up anger and frustration will simply go away?

  • The Coming World Crisis

    The Coming World Crisis

    En Route To Global Occupation“Chapter 7 – The Coming World Crisis

    […]

    Before the nations of the world ultimately embrace a system of global government, they must first have a reason to do so. Humanity, convinced that permenant world peace cannot be attanied without the creation of a powerful world authority capable of pretecting countries from one another, will eventually sacrifice the current world order – seeing no
    alternative. Significant strides have already been made in this directionsince the turn of the century, end if history repeats itself, further “progress” will be made soon.

    Two world wars have already been fought in the twentieth century. In each case, an aggresive power was used to ignite a crisis that drew in the rest of the world; and both times the aggressor was defeated. After each war, as supranational organization was established for the alleged purpose of
    promoting world peace, first the League of Nations, then the United Nations. Each organization has brought us one step closer to the realization of a one world government. The United Nations today is the closest thing to world government that humanity has ever known. Unlike the incomplete League of Nations, which consisted of only 63 countries and did not include the US, the United Nations consists of 159 nations, nearly every country in the world. Its infrastructure is all-encompassing and includes the World Court, the UN peace-keeping forces, and specialized organizations ranging from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to the World HealthOrganization (WHO). It oversees dozens of additional agencies ranging from UNESCO to UNICEF, covering virtually every aspect of life. The UN lacks only the power to implement and enforce its strategies.

    Could a third world war be used to finally lead mankind to accept a New World Order? If so, how might such a war begin? Who would be its main players? And what would be the outcome? To answer these important questions we must examine those areas where current events and the blueprints of the conspirators coincide with what the Bible teaches must yet take place.

    A Possible Scenario

    I believe that insiders will initiate a world crisis only if they feel it isnecessary to get the public to accept their New World Order. The mere threat of a major world conflict could be enough to scare the public into accepting such a change-especially when coupled with the existing problems of world hunger and global debt, and the created panic over the environment. As their campaign slogan openly proclaims, “Global Problems Demand Global Solutions!” Historically, however, wars have been effective in advancing the cause of
    world government; the fact is, major changes occur more easily during times of crisis. 

    Unlike the previous world wars in which Germany was the main instigator, the world’s next major conflict will undoubtedly be sparked by the hotbed of tensions surrounding the Middle East. If not Iraq a second time, then perhaps Iran or Syria.

    This writer believes that Syria might play a significant role in ushering in the New World Order, if not as an instigator of war, then as a middle man for negotiating peace. It is too critical a nation to remain on the sidelines for very long and, contrary to popular belief, Syria -not Iraq- is the most powerful Islamic military state in the Middle East. It therefore merits close watching.

    During the past several years, Syria appears to have been laying the groundwork for its own attack against Israel. Syrian troops now hold long sought after positions in Lebanon and have been prepared for such an invasion since early 1984. According to the USA Department of Defense publication, Soviet Military Power, Syria has also become the site of the largest Soviet arms build-up in the Third World, having contrasted for 19 billion dollars in military hardware. It currently boasts the largest number of Soviet military advisors of any Third World country. (1)

    The Syrian government, meanwhile, has effectively turned the tables by falsely warning its people of a coming Israeli attack on Syria, although Israel has repeatedly denied such allegations. (2) According to the Jerusalem Post during one of Syria’s propaganda campaigns several years ago it took a personal statement from Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzak Shamir, to maintain peace. Shamir voiced his “incomprehension” at Syrian “nervousness”, “which, he said, had triggered several strong Soviet warnings to Israel in recent days.” (3) I beleive the Syrian government was deliberately misleading its people in order to justify its own “pre-emptive” strike against Israel down the road. For these reasons, I have chosen to use Syria as our example in this scenario (although a similar scenario could beconstracted using Iraq, Iran, or even Libya).

    If the powers-that-be were to move Syria against Israel, it would be Syria’s fatal mistake, planned this way by the conspirators in order to precipitatea world crisis. Unlike previous invasions, the Jewish state this time would have almost no time to respond. Its back would be to the wall quickly as Syrian MIGs would strike over Jerusalem within 4 minutes. Israel would be faced with a very difficult decision -either allow itself to be conquered, or else launch its nuclear arsenal against Syria and possibly Iraq. In late 1986, “London’s Sunday Times printed an article stating that Israel may havea stockpile of as many as 200 nuclear warheads.” (4) So we know that a nuclear exchange is a very real possibility.
    There is an Old Testament prophesy concerning Damascus, the capital of Syria, which has yet to be fulfilled. Isaiah proclaimed: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.” (Is. 17:1). As it is, Damascus is the oldest standing city in the world, never having experienced mass destruction. This prophesy must be fulfilled some time before the return of Christ.

    Having lost several thousand of its military advisors in the exchange and with world opinion seemingly turned against Israel for her use of nuclear force, the Soviet Union could seize this opportunity to do what it has long desired – move against Israel. Arab pressure on the Soviets to invade Israel would add to the temptation.

    If the Soviet Union came to the rescue of Syria, it would suddenly find itself on opposite sides with the United States. What could happen next is unthinkable. Mankind will have been brought to the brink of destruction.

    Wicked man high places have been contemplating such a crisis for years. In a letter to the Italian revolutionary leader Giuseppe Mazzini dated 15 Agust 1871 Albert Pike, the leader of the Illuminati’s activities in the United States and the head of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry at the time, describeda distant final war, which he felt would be necessary to usher in the New World Order. (5) According to Pike, this conflict between two future superpowers would be sparked by first igniting crisis between Islam and Judaism. He went on to write:

    We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which, in all its horror, will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism, the origin of  savagery and of most bloody turmoil. Then, everywhere, the people, forced to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization; and multitudes, disillusioned with Christianity whose deistic spirits will be from that moment on without direction and leadership, anxious for an ideal but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the uiversal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out into public view; a  manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time. (6) (*)

    Should such a crisis be permitted to occur, the amount of destruction would be staggering. Humanity would tremble with fear believing that man is about to destroy himself. For even if Soviet Union or the United States were eliminated as military powers, over 30 countries would still have nuclear capacity. It would be a time of despair and mass confusion. Add to this the resulting chaos of global financial markets, which are already on the brink of disaster; the economic turmoil would only contribute to the world’s state of panic.

    En Route To Global Occupation back(*) It is a pure coincidence that the most powerful figures of the Middle East are Freemasons? Have they been destined to trigger the conflict about which Albert Pike wrote? A prominent Arab Christian leader recently informed me that according to his contacts in Lebanon, King Assad of Syria and King Hussain of Jordan are both Freemasons. If this is true, we could be closer to the New World Order than people realize. (He was uncartain about whetherSaddam Hussain belonged to the same secret society.)

    A few months ago, the son of this same Arab Christian gave me a masonic document – a membership certificate – which he found in Lebanon, issued by a Phoenician Lodge located in Lebanon. However, the document notes that the Lodge is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Jordan, which is under the authority of the Arab Supreme Council. For at least several centuries,Jordan has been a bastion of secret societies in the Middle East and has much more influence in the regions behind-the-scenes politics than most people realize. The same masonic symbol appearing on our dollar bill and found at ancient occult worship sites throughout the world, the all-seeing eye, is prominently displayed on the certificate.

    Turkish EU minister said, “our prime minister earlier said he would not go to Davos. Now Davos told us that ‘we can come to Turkey.”

    Turkish EU minister said on Tuesday that Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, told Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that they were eager to hold a summit in Istanbul.

    Replying to a question on meeting between Erdogan and Schwab in Istanbul, EU Minister and chief negotiator for EU talks Egemen Bagis said, “Schwab said they are eager to hold a summit in Istanbul in which the East and the West as well as the North and the South will meet. He asked Erdogan’s permission on this matter. Erdogan told Schwab that you can work on a draft program, then we will review it.”

    “Our prime minister earlier said he would not go to Davos. Now Davos told us that ‘we can come to Turkey’,” he said.

  • N Cyprus prepares its own drilling plan

    N Cyprus prepares its own drilling plan

    Northern CyprusTurkey and northern Cyprus are planning to sign an agreement to draw an exclusive economic zone in the Mediterranean Sea and invite foreign companies for gas and oil exploration, in retaliation to Greek Cyprus’ scheduled drillings set for October.

    “Turkish Cypriots will sign their own agreements and start their own offshore exploration activities, if the Greek Cypriot side fails to suspend its activities to explore and extract oil and natural gas off the southern shores of Cyprus,” Kudret Özersay, Turkish Cypriot leader Derviş Eroğlu’s special representative, told the Hürriyet Daily News on Friday.

    Before a unification deal with Turkish Cyprus is brokered, Greek Cypriot ambition to benefit from potentially rich gas and oil reserves in the Mediterranean Sea has once again increased regional tension. The announcement that a U.S. firm, Noble Energy, would begin drilling for natural gas off southern Cyprus’ coast on Oct.1 has drawn Ankara’s reaction both against Greek Cyprus and countries whose companies have been involved in the process.

    Turkey urged the United States to convince interested U.S. companies to stay away from these kinds of activities if they do not want to push the region into turmoil. It also said such moves would seriously hurt ongoing reunification talks between the two sides of the divided island.

    “We will act in the context of the principle of reciprocity,” Özersay said. Even if countries are divided, they could get all the benefits of a former partnership, he said, implying that if reunification talks fail and the island becomes divided into two states, the Greek Cypriots’ benefits from the island’s natural resources must be shared.

    “If Greek Cypriots do not suspend the natural gas drilling and receive its benefits in the future, Turkish Cypriots would obtain their share on the island’s natural sources,” he said. A unilateral act of the Greek Cypriot side did not mean that the island’s natural resources belong solely to them.

    Another official from the Turkish Cypriot administration, who wanted to remain anonymous, clarified their future plan for action if the Greek Cypriots insist on drilling for natural gas.

    “We can sign an agreement with Turkey for delimitation of the exclusive economic zone, so the ships of TPAO (Turkish Petroleum Company) can explore off the southern and western part of the island,” the official said.

    “In the past, foreign companies asked us about gas and oil exploration. We can also invite them and provide a license for them to perform explorations around the island,” he added.

    Since the early 2000s, Greek Cyprus has signed a number of agreements with littoral countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to draw economic zones, with each of them being able to benefit from gas and oil reserves. Turkey made counter-attacks against the move, urging all Eastern Mediterranean countries suspend these deals with Greek Cyprus.

  • On EU banks, Solvency or Liquidity? – Or BOTH?

    On EU banks, Solvency or Liquidity? – Or BOTH?

    I look at the financial statements of the big banks. 10-Qs and the like. I’ve concluded that, for the most part, it’s a waste of time. There are usually 70 or so pages of numbers and discussion. Tons of data. But what is missing is a realistic appraisal of what the assets are actually worth.

    Rather than go blind looking at small print I just look at market capitalization and assets. The balance sheet assets are a good proxy for what has to be funded. The market cap (shares outstanding X current market price) is the only number one can look at that is “real”. It is real because the “tape” and the market say so. It is a much more reliable number than what the accountants, auditors and management tell you.

    Market cap is critical because there is a presumption that a big bank can go to the equity market and issue preferred and common stock equal to about 10% of the existing market valuation. A big equity valuation is a cushion in troubled times.

    Societe Generale, Paris is a big bank that has been much in the news this week. SoGen is a top tier global bank. They have a very large deposit base and consumer business. They are also a big global trading bank. SG is well managed. I would call it one of the Crown Jewels of the financial picture in France. It is a classic Too Big to Fail.

    Having said all those nice things about SoGen I also have to point out that it has a very thin margin of market valuation to support its huge balance sheet. The market cap/asset ratios for SoGen, Wells Fargo and JPM:

    Market graph

     

    Looking at this one sees the problem. SoGen is levered 4-6 X’s the US banks.


    Under normal circumstances my way of looking at things is irrelevant. It only becomes significant when there are problems. Today we have problems.

    There are monstrous gobs of liquidity in the world. But every day that goes by that liquidity is getting more and more risk adverse. Globally there is about $60 Trillion of funded debt of one form or another. That huge amount has to be rolled over constantly. A very substantial portion of this has maturities of less than six months. It is a “faith based” system. The assumption is that there will always be ample liquidity from the holders of cash to roll over everything without a hiccup. At the moment there is not much faith in that system.

    The nice folks at FTAlphaville put up this interesting chart Friday afternoon. It tells the story perfectly. Everything is green except the month of August and the very short end of the funding spectrum. The red area is a Short Squeeze. This is also a big Red Alert!

     

    Grafics

     

    The lower the equity cap of any financial, the greater the risk that there are funding problems. This is what did in Lehman. Almost overnight they lost their funding sources. (Note: This is what happened to Drexel in 1989. I was there. It took ten days to go from soup to nuts.)

    SoGen, being what they are, will not be the first bank to suffer liquidity problems. I used their equity numbers to make a point. It is the second tier Euro banks that are going to get squeezed. I have no doubt but they are already feeling the pinch.


    I can’t see this going on much longer. We may have already passed the point where the downward spiral on funding availability is irreversible without global central banks stepping in.

    .

    That brings us to Jackson Hole. Damn near everyone I read is thinking that Bernanke is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat next weekend. Some new form of monetary stimulus will be announced and all will be well for the markets once again. I don’t agree.

    While the US has some major league problems, those issues can’t be addressed by the Fed. There is nothing more that the Fed can do. With short-term rates at zero (and planted there for years to come) and the ten-year at 2% there is nothing left to be done. Or is there?

    I maintain the next move by the Fed is to massively open up the dollar swap lines with European central banks. I don’t think Bernanke wants to announce this significant step at Jackson Hole. It is an EU issue and the Fed can’t take the lead on this. Opening the swap lines will prove to be very unpopular in the US. Politicians will jump on it as a bailout of Europe while America is struggling.

    Bernanke is going to take some heat, when this happens (I think this is now a certainty, just not sure of the timing). But I also think that Bernanke is pushing (as I write) for this to happen. The only option left for Bernanke is to put another half trillion or so into the global system. He can’t do that in the US, but he has a great excuse today to do it in Europe.

    I maintain the forum for this is not Jackson Hole. There is too much theater in all of this already. The Europeans don’t want this to be a circus (more than it already is). They want to be seen as responding to an EU problem, they don’t want to be seen as a slave to Bernanke and the Jackson Hole confab.

    The announcement of the swap lines will not come from Wyoming. It will happen on a Sunday night. It either happens before next weekend, or the weekend after. Given that things are rapidly unwinding in the EU funding markets I don’t think they want to wait another two full weeks to put a band aid on the problem. They have to do something sooner than that. If they don’t, they risk a full scale liquidity blowout before September. If the blowout were to happen it would be very difficult to reverse. They have to (attempt) to get ahead of the problem before it is a crisis.

    I think there is a decent chance this important next step takes place outside of Jackson Hole. It could happen this Sunday night. If I’m wrong, and we get nothing, the European funding markets are going to collapse next week. It will be very difficult to reverse the damage that this will cause. All the central bankers know this. They know that there is not much time left to act. They can’t wait another two weeks.

  • Turkey did not sponsor Gaza flotilla

    Turkey did not sponsor Gaza flotilla

    The aid convoy for Gaza organized in May 2010 was a humanitarian initiative with people from more than 30 countries (including the United States and Israel) in ships sailing under the flags of several nations. While there were private Turkish citizens among participants, the flotilla was not organized or even encouraged by the Turkish government, asDanny Danon conjures without evidence (“Why Turkey should apologize to Israel,” Commentary, Aug. 15). Quite the contrary.

    Ambassador Namik TanNine people lost their lives when Israeli commandos used excessive, lethal force and violated all established norms of international law by attacking the convoy in the international waters of the Mediterranean, as the U.N. Human Rights Council’s fact-finding mission concluded in its report on the incident. Eight of the nine killed were Turkish citizens, and one was an American citizen of Turkish descent.

    As any country – including Israel – would be, Turkey was shattered by the loss of its citizens. We also were shocked that for the first time in our history, our citizens were killed by a foreign armed force during peacetime. What has increased our sorrow is that this deplorable action was caused by a country Turkey has long considered a friend.

    Turkey rightly asks for a formal apology and appropriate compensation to the families of those killed. These acts will never fully ease the pain the families and the Turkish people feel, but they are essential to the normalization of relations, from which both Turkey and Israel benefit.

    It is meaningful that Mr. Danon, rather than supporting the efforts to leave this incident behind, is appealing to audiences in the United States and that he defines the essential ingredients of normalization as acts of humiliation. He does not recognize that rather than humiliation, these steps represent the cornerstones of civility upon which any strong friendship rests.
