LIBOR: EU to make rate fixing a crime. Rate fixing scandal an excuse to create One World Bank! New CIBOR scandal!

26 July 2012, the European Union’s European Commission is asking its members to pass a new law making currency and interest rate manipulation a crime.

The scandal involves mainly U.S. and British Too Big to Fail banks and the British based LIBOR, Belgium based EURIBOR and Japan based TIBOR systems.  Recently it was revealed that such systems are also being used to help elites hide $20 trillion USD worth of wealth from tax collectors.

In Denmark, the Danish government is wrapping up their investigation into their own CIBOR system.  Officials running the Copenhagen Interbank Offered Rate are suspected of setting rates unjustifiably higher than the EURIBOR.

The Wall Street Journal recently said the scandal “…could lead to a new system of calculating a benchmark…”

Too Big to Fail Morgan Stanley is asking British officials to put the Bank of England in direct control of LIBOR.

Also, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, stated he will be reviewing the proposed introduction of a new global rate system that will replace current LIBOR like systems.

The rate fixing scandal involves banks in North America, Europe and Japan (the regional members of the Trilateral Commission).

What Economic Recovery? Hoku Corporation voluntarily de-lists, chapter 11 coming soon, “Liquidate Hoku Materials”

“How much longer can Hoku Corp keep the tsunami of debt, liabilities, liens, foreclosures and material breaches of contract at bay? What’s the delay in filing for bankruptcy protection? I believe that it may be driven by their energetic attempts to sell their solar subsidiary before the much tighter restrictions on selling assets that would come under bankruptcy.”-Marco Mangelsdorf, ProVision Solar

Hoku Corporation, parent company of failed Hoku Materials in Pocatello, Idaho, voluntarily de-listed itself from NASDAQ, and will probably file chapter 11 bankruptcy.

On 29 June it was reported that Hoku Corp had enough cash for only nine weeks of operation!

“If Hoku is unable to secure additional financing, it believes it will need to seek protection in bankruptcy from its creditors and to liquidate and wind-down Hoku and Hoku Materials. “-Hoku SEC statement, 25 June 2012

Officials also said they were unable to complete required financial reports and would miss the filing deadline for the end of the fiscal year.

At the beginning of July 2012, Hoku Corp announced it would voluntarily de-list from NASDAQ.  This after NASDAQ stopped trading of Hoku stocks, after share price fell to below $1.00 back in December 2011.  Hoku said their de-listing would take place on 10 July.

Now, Hoku has been trading as a penny stock, and as of 17 July was worth only 4 cents per share!

HOKU CORP GOING BUST! POCATELLO WASTED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ON TAX BREAKS!  WHO’S GONNA BUY ALL THOSE NEW HOMES NOW MR MAYOR?

What Economic Recovery? Sales up, yet profits down for Nissan. Sales & profits down for Ford!

26 July 2012, Japan’s Nissan Motor has reported an increase in sales for the April to June quarter, but decreased profits.

Nissan officials said sales were up in China and North America, but, because of the rising value of the Japanese yen, and increasingly stiff competition, the overall profits fell 19.7%.  Their profit was still a hefty $1.5 billion USD (oh those greedy stockholders)!

Nissan said the only way they can keep profits up is to send more of their Japanese production to other countries, and use parts made in countries where the money is worth less than the yen.  Of course, this means more job losses in Japan!

U.S. based Ford also reported down profits, by 57%!  Ford, a much bigger company than Nissan, made about the same profit as their Japanese competitor, but Ford’s profit loss is tied directly to decreased sales worldwide.

Officials with Ford said they lost money big time in Europe, where the iconic car company saw a 15% drop in sales, losing more than $400 million USD.  They also lost sales in Asia, and profits were down in South America.

Ford expects that by the end of the year they will lose more than $1 billion USD because of the European crisis!

What Economic Recovery? Britain in worst double dip recession ever, blame the Queen!

“It is clear that Britain is in the midst of the most prolonged period of stagnation it has faced in decades.”-John Longworth, British Chambers of Commerce

25 July 2012, Office for National Statistics announced another drop in GDP, for the third month in a row, officially putting the United Kingdom back into a recession.

U.K. economic performance data started being recorded in 1955, and the current situation is worse than anything on official record!

Officials with the Office for National Statistics are still adding up the costs of celebrating the queen’s Diamond Jubilee, but are already calling it a “significant hit” to the British economy.  Any public event involving the Royals is paid for by the government/taxpayers.

Some analysts say the Diamond Jubilee celebration actually stopped any economic recovery in Britain.

“They [government leaders] need to change course as their policies are causing permanent damage to our economy.”-Brendan Barber, Trades Union Congress

World War 3: Trilateral Commission advances; United States, European Union & Japan to go it alone against Syria, no longer working through United Nations!

25 July 2012, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States will no longer use the United Nations Security Council, instead it has formed an alliance with the Arab League and the new French led group called Friends of Syria (which is made up of the European Union and Japan).

Clinton also said that the U.S. no longer cares what Russia and China thinks, saying their concerns are now “on the far backburner” as far as the U.S. is concerned.

Back on 06 July 2012, Clinton told the Friends of Syria they needed to stand up to Russia and China in order to make sure “…that Russia and China will pay a price.”

Now the United States has joined the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in officially announcing they will increase support for rebels, however Clinton did not go into details.

Note that this new alliance is made up mainly of the EU, Japan and North America, who are the regional members of the Trilateral Commission (the true shadow government).

Corporate Incompetence or Evil? Investigation into Bile duct cancer spreads from Printing industry to Semiconductors and Metal industries. U.S. workers suffering same cancer!

“The research conducted in the United States shows that the hazardous nature of dichloromethane had been pointed out some time ago. The warning of the health hazard to humans was issued more than 20 years ago!“-Shinji Kumagai, University of Occupational and Environmental Health

Back at the end of June 2012, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced an investigation into the high rate of bile duct cancer among workers in the printing industry.  Now, they are warning the semiconductor and metals industries they will be investigated as well.

The common factor is a cleaning chemical called dichloromethane (aka methylene chloride).  “Dichloromethane is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.”-Report on Carcinogens, Twelfth Edition (2011)

According to a study by University of Occupational and Environmental Health, cancer rates among printing industry employees is 600 times higher than than the average Japanese man who dies from bile duct cancer!

The identification of dichloromethane, and other cleaning solvents, is leading investigators to look at other industries that also use those chemicals.

Japanese doctors will now question people who get bile duct cancer (or related cancers), as to what industry they work in.  Health officials are concerned that industries are not taking the proper precautions, such as proper ventilation of work place.

On 10 July 2012, a report by The Mainichi revealed that workers in certain U.S. industries suffer high rates of cancer.  The thing is the study was released back in 1990, not in U.S. publications but in a European magazine!  (Mortality update of cellulose fiber production workers)

U.S. health researchers studied 1,271 people who worked at a factory in South Carolina between 1954 and 1977.  Workers had developed liver cancer, from cancerous bile duct cells.  The mortality rate was 20 times higher than the U.S. average! The main culprit;  dichloromethane!

When Japanese health researchers read the study, more than a decade later, they decided to investigate Japanese industries. It was that initial study that revealed the outrageously high cancer rates of printing industry workers!

World War 3: U.S. & Israel plotting for demise of Syrian government, Israel threatens war, Israeli defense boss warns it could be the wrong move!

Israeli officials confirmed that U.S. envoys are working with their Israeli counterparts to come up with a plan to manage a Syrian government collapse.

War Pig Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said that if Syrian WMDs make it out of the country “We will act decisively and without hesitation or restraint.”

The Syrian government recently said that if they are attacked by other countries they will use their WMDs for self defense.  That has Israelis panicking, because their own politicians have been threatening to attack Syria.

On 23 July 2012, 3,700 gas masks were requested by Israeli citizens: “There’s a smell of chemical weapons in the air, the sense that a war could be triggered.”-Maya Knobler, in Mevasseret Zion

Israeli officials say they are monitoring the WMDs of Syria: “At the moment, the entire non-conventional weapons system is under the full control of the regime.”-Amos Gilad, adviser to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak

However, IDF Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, warns that any attack by Israel against Syria could backfire, leading to “…a broader offensive than we planned.”

In a round-a-bout way, Gantz is saying the Israel Defense Forces are not prepared to handle a full blown regional war, of course that’s why the U.S. envoys are in Israel, now, helping to make bigger plans!

Government Evil: U.S. Consumers who use Cash make F-B-I list of Terrorists! Working for cash in the U.K. is a crime?

“These kinds of schemes are where we are focusing our efforts, and they are all, to borrow a phrase from the chancellor, ‘morally repugnant’. These schemes damage our ability to fund public services and provide support to those who need it. They harm businesses by distorting competition. They damage public confidence. And they undermine the actions of the vast majority of taxpayers, who pay more in tax as a consequence of others enjoying a free ride.”–David Gauke, ass hole British exchequer secretary to the Treasury, referring to people who get paid in cash!

At the beginning of this year the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released Community Against Terrorism (CAT) warning signs, which include people who “Use cash for large transactions”!  But did you know that in the United Kingdom you can go to prison for being paid with cash!

Of course people who don’t report their cash earnings when they file their tax paperwork can end up spending time in prison, but, why are governments so focused on the small fry individual, who might owe hundreds to thousands in taxes, when a tiny minority of elites have gotten away with a combined total of USD $20-trillion in unreported income/revenues?!

Just last week, the U.K. government sent a plumbing company owner to prison for not paying USD $77-thousand in taxes.  Here’s the thing, British government officials claim they’re owed about USD $54-billion in unpaid taxes every year, but according to the latest study by the British government established Tax Justice Network, the big tax evaders are not the individuals getting paid in cash, but they are the teeny tiny minority of elites that sucked off USD $20-trillion from the western economies in the past few years!

Why don’t the elected and appointed officials get some balls and go after those elitist economic terrorists?!  At least those individuals who are being paid in cash are spending the money, keeping the Circular Money Flow of the economy going! The elites are money vampires sucking it out of the Circular Money Flow system, crashing the economy!

By the way I’m amazed how many people in the United States still can’t believe that the FBI (under orders from Homeland Security) considers the use of cash an act of terrorism, but just go to this link and read the FBI CAT lists for yourself.

Long ago cash became king, and barter became the enemy. Anyone entering a city to do business had to first do business with money changers, to acquire the authorized cash for that specific city state.  Now credit is king, and cash is the enemy. If you want to continue doing business in the new world order then you have to give up the cash ghost: “…and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”–Revelation 13:17, Young’s Literal Translation

World War 3: Iraqi leader defies U.S. & Arab League, says stay out of Syria!

“If the Arab nations who met in Doha were honest about wanting to stop the bloodshed, they would have stopped supplying arms…All their statements are hypocritical.”-Jihad Makdissi, spokesman for Syria’s Foreign Ministry

“This call is not appropriate at this time because it is interfering in the sovereignty of another country.”-Labid Abbawi, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iraq

23 July 2012, Iraqi leaders are denouncing the Arab League’s call to support the Free Syrian Army, create a de facto government supported by outsiders, and offer of a “safe exit” for President Bashar al-Assad.

Iraqi officials say the issue is “…the sole responsibility of the Syrian people” and everyone else should butt out!

World War 3: Yemen’s intelligence HQ targeted

23 July 2012, Yemen security officials say they’ve diffused a bomb at their intelligence headquarters.  This comes a day after unconfirmed reports said a Saudi Arabian deputy intelligence official was assassinated by an explosion at their intelligence HQ in Riyadh.

Yemen shares a border with Saudi Arabia, and the Yemen government is supported by the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

On 22 July, a Yemeni air force commander was attacked. His convoy was bombed, he survived.  Security officials say they have information indicating that rebels are now focusing on attacking senior military leaders and intelligence operatives.
