An Argentine opinion

global financial crisis, describing the whole Global Financial System as one vast Ponzi scheme. As a pyramid has four sides and is a predictable pattern. The four sides are: (1) Artificially control the supply of state service, the currency issued, (2) Artificially impose Banking Money as the primary source of financing of the economy, (3) Promote doing everything by Debt and (4) complex built canals that allow privatizing profits when the model is in expansion mode and socialize losses when the model enters a recession.

Geithner ADMITS in testimony ‘taxpayer exposed to losses’ of financial crisis

Visit ActivistPost.com for Independent News and Analysis. Geithner in Congressional testimony admits that taxpayers are responsible for absorbing the losses of Fannie and Freddie during the financial meltdown. “As you know, the history of financial crises is largely a history of banks and real estate together. And the government ultimately is there. It’s just behind the banks with this implicit support that they don’t charge for. It still leaves the taxpayer expected…I mean, exposed to loss.”

Q&A: Do you expect a diminished “New World Order” media presence as the financial crisis worsens?


by Meffi

Question by plenum222: Do you expect a diminished “New World Order” media presence as the financial crisis worsens?
The NWO is not possible without international financial cooperation. The current system is inadequate and has failed. The UN’s current summit admits as much by urging a complete overhaul of the world’s financial structure. Will the media presence of the NWO and their financial collaborators take a lower profile, reducing themselves as a target for the near-term, until the “crisis” has been reduced to a “concern” in the public’s mind?

Best answer:

Answer by Macrocompassion
I hope so. The NWO did nothing for the poor and only allowed the corrupt governments and their officials more access to wealth. Perhaps it will drive a bit of sense into those who are so keen to waste other people’s money.

Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial and housing crisis; meltdown

The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis — starting in 2002 (and actually even earlier — in the Clinton and Carter White Houses. Democrats resisted and kept to their party line, extending loans to people who couldn’t afford them — just like you would expect of socialists.

Despite what figures like Beck have portrayed, this global system is not run by Marxist ideologues or Communist revolutionaries; those groups and others are controlled by a psychopathic, offshore, corporate elite cabal who have sophisticated control over most of the world’s resources, peoples and territories.

Alex Jones extends his remarks on Glenn Beck, the co-opting of the Tea Party movement and who really runs the New World Order in a follow-up video address to “Is Glenn Beck for Real?”

New World Order Monetary System

This is a very interesting and revealing video I got from http://www.youtube.com/purdysw, and was originally posted by http://www.youtube.com/aodscarecrow

I’m sorry about the sudden unexpected ending, the video was obviously cut short. But the info is so real and powerful that it needs to be heard by as many people as possible. Only then can we hope to make the world a better place.
————————————–

Lost in all the Obama furor, the world’s leading economic powers — the so-called G-20 nations — are quietly laying plans for a November 15th summit in Washington, D.C., that may effect a revolution in world finance and global governance, a revolution with potentially much greater long-term impact on America than anything on President-elect Obama’s agenda.

According to an AP report, “EU leaders are set to call on the Nov. 15 summit to agree immediately on five principles: submit ratings agencies to more surveillance; align accounting standards; close loopholes; set banking codes of conduct to reduce excessive risk-taking; and ask the International Monetary Fund to suggest ways of calming the turmoil.”

Even discounting the deliberate vagueness of the phrase “closing loopholes,” such an agenda obviously contemplates a significant increase in the level of international regulation, presumably to be implemented and enforced by an international regulatory body or bodies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), created at the Bretton Woods economic summit near the end of World War II, is being touted as the obvious candidate for a global financial regulatory organization. Historically, the IMF’s mandate has been far more limited than many of its creators, including British economist John Maynard Keynes (one of the organizers of the Bretton Woods conference), originally envisioned. Keynes and the rest of the British and American delegations to Bretton Woods wanted the agreement to create a global reserve currency (which Keynes wanted to call the bancor), but ended up establishing the dollar as the world’s fallback currency instead. They also created the SDR (Special Drawing Right), a quasi-currency in which all acounts at the IMF were and are reckoned.

Now, it appears, the IMF is being primed for a much larger role, to be remade into a bona fide instrument of global governance — just as the original General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), also created at Bretton Woods, was later transformed into the World Trade Organization (WTO). The latter is a de facto global trade ministry with supranational authority, and it has already wielded over the United States and many other nations.

The IMF, in other words, is apparently being prepared to become for global finance what the WTO has become for international trade. At a recent planning session for the upcoming summit, “[EU leaders] discussed making the International Monetary Fund the world’s financial watchdog, suggesting it be given more power to curb financial crises and give more money to aid countries in trouble,” the AP reported.

EU leaders like France’s President Nicholas Sarkozy and Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown have seized the initiative in setting the agenda for the November 15 summit, which some are informally referring to as “Bretton Woods II.” The EU will be calling for an agreement to overhaul the global financial system within 100 days, with a second international summit to be held in March.

Additional proposals that may be implied by the aformentioned five agenda items might include: creating a world central bank; creating an international reserve currency to replace the ailing U.S. dollar; and levying fees or taxes on international financial transactions. Any of these would be potentially devastating blows to American sovereignty, and would immeasurably strengthen the UN-centered embryonic world government.

A global central bank with the power to create a truly international currency would give the international system the same power globally that the Federal Reserve enjoys domestically — the power to create money at will. In other words, the UN system would acquire at a stroke the power to fund itself by printing money, emancipating it from reliance on the contributions of member states. An international tax or fee assessed on financial activity would be the realization of another long-cherished but still-unfulfilled dream of globalists: a truly global tax.

Make no mistake about it: the upcoming series of global summits will be about creating and empowering new organs of world government. It will be about curtailing international economic and financial freedom, not enhancing it.
