There’s an old saying—when something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. This old saying brings up a story and blog comments from the London Telegraph Blog on Apr 8, 2009. The basis of the thread was a story by Edmund Conway on “Sleepwalking our way towards a world currency.”
The Conway Story
On the basis of the recent G20 meeting, Conway allowed the premise that we are on our way to a new world currency in the sense of the special drawing rights replacing the US dollar as the international reserve currency. He then postulated two possible scenarios—as follows: 1. That a shadowy sect of global leaders are conspiring together to set up this new world currency; or that, 2. Instead, clueless politicians are sleepwalking into this, not knowing precisely what they are doing.
Conway then commented on both scenarios. He first addressed the conspiracy theory and admitted that the “conspiracy theories that surround the SDRs usually assume the first scenario, and indeed the events of the past couple of weeks seem to bear this out. First you had the People's Bank of China surreptitiously publishing a discussion paper on the notion of replacing the dollar as the international reserve currency with SDRs. Then US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner appeared to acquiesce to such suggestions.
“Then, last week, you had the decision to issue $250bn more of the things at the G20, in what might be seen as a prelude to a more widespread plot to install SDRs permanently in place. Under what was approved by the world leaders, the IMF is suddenly behaving like a global central bank, issuing SDRs to control liquidity worldwide. This is a central bank without direct accountability to the people of the world, which only seems to underline the apparent outrageousness of this plot.”
Then Conway proceeded to dismiss his conspiracy argument by saying “But my strong suspicion is that this is no deliberate plot. I suspect the second scenario is far more likely. In fact I have heard that the plan to issue $250bn worth of SDRs at the G20 last week was not connected in the slightest with the Chinese paper, but was something instigated by the US Treasury, in conjunction with the UK Government, in the weeks running up to the G20. In fact, I gather that the IMF only learnt about the plan at the very last minute, leaving their legal officials scrambling around to try to find out whether it was even possible.
“Only last Wednesday, barely 24 hours before the G20's decision, panicked representatives from the IMF's legal department phoned the Treasury to find out whether this plan was really likely to happen. Geithner's comments in the wake of the PBoC, which were interpreted as an approval of the global currency plan, were in fact rather confusedly nodding towards the US-led IMF plan. Either he or the headline writers got confused. None of this smacks of a grand plot to lay down the foundations for a world currency, as indeed there was not...
“One thing we must all agree on in the wake of this crisis is that politicians do not always take the best decisions, and I doubt the idea of a new global reserve currency is desirable at all. For a start, what is one to tie it to? Gold? And consign ourselves to the same fetters which helped cause the Great Depression (Eichengreen is the master on this)?
“…Should we retain a fiat currency system I can't see the point of a global world currency. Sure, in the future we ought to have a system in which a few different currencies share the reserve currency status currently enjoyed by the dollar - the Chinese renminbi, the euro, perhaps - and where commodities are denominated depending on which of these countries most demands or produces them. But aside from the exchange rate risk (which can be hedged), it makes very little real difference to any company whether they buy their oil in dollars, pounds, rubles or yen.
“The debate to be had here is not about the currency itself, but about whether it should be tied to anything, or whether we will keep with fiat money: in other words, a Bretton Woods-style debate. With any luck, the G20 decision will trigger the beginning of just such a debate in the coming years. But having heard the shambolic way the SDR issue came about in the first place, I doubt whether anything so organised, well-thought out and openly-discussed is likely.”
Conway’s thesis elicited some 55 comments—most of which disagreed with Conway’s choice of scenario number two.
Perhaps the best disagreement was from Jacques Arden who said: “It was all deliberately planned. The international bankers loosened monetary policy after the Dotcom crash to keep the ball rolling knowing full well what the consequences were going to be later on down the line. It's absolutely absurd to think they didn't know what was going to happen. Greenspan used to be an advocate of Austrian economics and gold backed currency. What made him change his mind? He must have known that his tenure of the Fed was sowing the seeds of catastrophe.
“The Central bankers acted deliberately and in concert across the world. It's high time the central banks were subject to some serious scrutiny. They are always kept insulated by their political stooges. None of them has ever been properly audited and nobody knows who owns and controls them. We need to find this out...FAST.
“It is pretty well acknowledged now that the Federal Reserve system is a cartel of privately owned banks. The BoE however is a very different story. It was supposedly nationalised in 1946. It's all extremely dubious. Why is the Bank of England trading as a private company? You can find it listed on a credit rating agency like Dunne & Bradsteet, dnb.com.
“My conclusion is that a global cartel of bankers and politicians are manipulating the global economy in pursuit of their own agendas. There is method in their madness. Capitalism is being made the scapegoat with bankers like Fred the Shred being demonised like a Nazi show trial whilst the true protagonists of monetary fascism are excluded from any scrutiny. The fact is, the global central banking system is a means for the wealthiest people on this planet to control all resources and wealth by fixing the cost of money. It is a global cartel. They are price fixers. There is no 'free market' because the cost of borrowing is always being manipulated behind the scenes. It is an elaborate global system of 'resource allocation'. It is a COMMUNIST system, not capitalism.
“They BROKE the system deliberately. They want a single global currency, fiat of course, and it will be a cashless society. The concept of our electronic credit system is breathtakingly simple and demonic in its destruction of all that is honest, ethical and decent in society. Instead of backing money with tangible assets such as gold or silver, all money shall be debt, a futures contract between the people and the bankers that will keep humanity in perpetual bondage. The only thing that gives our monetary system value is the presumption that YOU and I shall service debt...FOREVER. We are bonded slaves and we don't even realize it.”
My Experience
In Nov 1963, I was in the army and stationed at Fort Stewart, GA. I remember the radio news of the JFK shooting and an order which made all of the military people assemble on the parade ground where the Post Commander read a notice of the death of the president.
As was true with so many others, I sort of went along with the eventual charge that Kennedy was killed by a lone Communist gunman. I could have been more alert on what was going on; but in those days I stupidly believed that our government and its leaders told us the truth (later, I learned that they lied to us back then as well as on other things both before and after the JFK shooting). In those days, I had no idea that our government lied to us regularly and often. Yes, I was very naïve, ignorant and uninformed.
What I Eventually was able to Piece Together on the JFK Murder
There were so many lies and acts of deception involved in the murder and cover-up on Kennedy that it is impossible to begin to cover them. Suffice to say, the Warren Commission was the prime cover-up agency. And President Lyndon Johnson led the cover-up in the executive branch. I don’t propose spending any time on this topic here, except to offer a few observations from the words of Parkland Hospital in Dallas and the doctors who worked on Kennedy in the Parkland Emergency Room.
Although a later US Navy autopsy in Washington was a joke, which served to help the Warren Commission cover-up, an honest Dr Charles Crenshaw of Dallas worked on Kennedy in the emergency room at Parkland Hospital in 1963. He publicly confirmed that JFK was shot at least two times from the front, once into his neck and the last fatal shot into the right front temple of his head--plus being shot from behind. The doctor published his first hand report on what happened in a 1992 book “JFK: Conspiracy of Silence.”
Crenshaw died in late November 2001. “Time” magazine for Dec 3, 2001 (p. 23), had a short report on the death of Crenshaw and his long contention that Kennedy was shot from both the front and back. There were two entrance wounds at the front plus two from the back. The doctor, who was an emergency room eye witness, plainly indicated an involvement of two or more gunmen.
As “Time” suggested, Crenshaw’s eye witness report and his book were “controversial.” Is this not a peculiar reaction from the controlled media in assessing the remarks of the emergency room doctor who worked on Kennedy at Parkland Hospital just after the shooting? But Crenshaw’s words had confirmation from other informed people at Parkland.
The other emergency room doctors present at Parkland all saw the same thing. There was never any conflict or controversy between the Parkland Hospital doctors and personnel on what happened. The only point of confusion surfaced when the Navy autopsy doctors (working under military orders) and the ridiculous Warren Commission addressed the subject.
The admission record at Parkland Hospital was signed by Dr Robert McClelland. It described the cause of death as a massive head and brain injury from a gunshot wound of the right temple (“On the Trail of the Assassin,” p. 92).
White House Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff gave a press briefing at the hospital at 1:30 PM to announce Kennedy’s death. He said that the fatal bullet entered the President’s right temple and then he pointed it out on television with his hand and finger. Other witnesses at Parkland--William Newman, Marilyn Sitzman and Highway Patrolman Hurchal Jacks--were on the newscasts that day and all three of them described the front right temple entrance wound (“Best Evidence,” p. 330).
The fatal bullet was a wound to the right front temple and a large exit from the back of the head. In terms of the throat wound, Dr Malcolm Perry, who did the emergency tracheotomy on Kennedy, said at a Parkland press conference at about 2:20 PM that day that the front throat wound was also an entry wound (“Best Evidence,” p. 702).
Despite the mountain of evidence of conspiracy and two or more shooters from both the front and back in Dallas that day, the world was told a story of absolute fiction and nonsense about a lone Communist nut named Lee Harvey Oswald who singularly killing JFK with two shots from the back. In view of the murder and strange deaths of some 200 witnesses to the Kennedy killing, it is no wonder that most of the people at Parkland chose to keep their mouths shut (or they too might have been murdered).
My purpose here is not to get into any lengthy discussion on the JFK killing or the cover-up. My topic is coordination and control in the financial markets. But this backdrop ushers in the subject of this paper on the need for incredible coordination and control of the huge number of players involved in an undertaking like this one.
For example, in the US executive branch we had the involvement of Bethesda Naval Hospital, Walter Reed Army Hospital, some military autopsy doctors, the US Air Force, the president’s personal physician, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Dept of Navy, the AG, and the office of President; and supposed independent agencies/sources like the US Congress, the Warren Commission, the US courts, the city of New Orleans, the state of Texas, the city of Dallas, Parkland Hospital, Jack Ruby’s Club in Dallas, the mob and on and on.
And if the above list is not enough, the controlled national media had a key role in the cover up of the murder of JFK. The reason was simple. The media loved Kennedy and disliked or even hated Lyndon Johnson. Yet, the media, with its power to move things in the US (like in the removal of Richard Nixon), completely went along with the cover up. Never once did the controlled media come out with stories that I recall, raising important questions about what happened at Parkland and what the later Navy autopsy and Warren Commission would say.
But the point in making the above statement of the cover-up and the vast number of people, agencies, etc involved, it brings up something which few have ever understood. And that is the incredible level of coordination and control exercised at a very top level to make sure that the cover up spin was consistent and harmonious among all the players and participants in the cover-up—to include what the media would report on the crime as time progressed.
But the murder of Kennedy and its after effects with the cover-up and the vast amount of coordination and control necessary to insure that the cover-up went over correctly brings up the reality that in any huge undertaking, like the murder of a president, a fantastic level of coordination and control is essential for it to succeed.
By the way, any reader interested in having a new look at the JKF killing can check out volume 23 at www.ageend.com which has a unique position on this matter. In that reference, the reader will find that the Rothschild Cabal was involved in both the murder and its later cover-up. The reason why the big bankers were concerned is because Kennedy had made promises and taken actions to move against the Federal Reserve Bank and the money changers in the US.
The Economic Fall in Real Estate, Mortgages and Commodities Since 2007
Just like the Kennedy cover up involved a vast number of people, agencies and activities, many of which were theoretically independent and impartial, the same backdrop exists with the extensive fall in the real estate, mortgage and commodity markets from 2007 until today’s date in 2009. In that vein, the Kennedy killing and the engineered economic collapse now on-going have much in common. In order to pull this present scam off, the different and diverse agencies and activities have been huge.
Of paramount importance, it has taken the participation of a number of Federal agencies like the Office of the President, the US Treasury, and all of the agencies and activities involved with the US economy (with obvious foreknowledge and understanding). Not only did it require the participation of these huge diverse agencies, but it involved two entirely different political parties—the Republicans and Democrats—who theoretically had a change in power in 2009.
And then there was the need for key members of the Congress to also be on board. And before it’s over, we may see a number or court actions which means that the courts could become involved.
Next the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank has been a key player. Obviously too, the huge international banks and large brokerage firms that have been in the position to manipulate and control the markets have had significant involvement. Then there are the exchanges themselves and their regulatory and supervising agencies—like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, COMEX and all the other exchanges.
Since the manipulation of particularly the currency markets have required and made use of other foreign central banks, foreign governments and foreign regulators, they too have had to be on board. Too, it is also clear that there are a number of so-called market analysts who could blow the whistle on the whole affair if it became known. Many or most of them have been willing players for whatever reason. The few not playing on the team (like GATA, Goldseek.com and analysis-news.com) were never in any position to do much about the manipulation.
Just like there was one key activity or group of people in a position to completely upset the whole Kennedy killing thing, the same is true with the real estate, mortgage and commodity collapse engineered in 2007-2009. Here I refer to the media. Can the reader possibly imagine what would have happened if there had been any honest and independent news reporters from 1963 on who would have dug out the truth on the JFK killing and reported it on ABC, CBS, NBC, the Washington Post, etc?
We face the same situation today with the engineered fall in the economy since 2007. If just one national TV network would have asked some hard questions and made an independent and fair evaluation of what was happening, the whole cover up of the big banker theft of the remaining wealth of America could have been exposed in a great expose. Instead, none of the national media had any interest in it; except to report the approved spin which made out that the fall involved spontaneous and random chance occurrences by different parties acting independently in their thinking and actions.
The point of this is that in order to coordinate, implement, monitor, supervise and control such an undertaking, as we have beheld since 2007 in the financial markets, it takes a huge, grand, powerful conspiracy at the highest levels (actually in much the same way as happened with the JFK murder and cover up conspiracies). It has to involve people who give orders and not just take orders.
We can make the argument that in both the Kennedy thing and now the economic fall since 2007 could have been coordinated and managed in the US presidential executive branch by the two political presidential administrations (Republican and Democrat), but this is only one part of the jigsaw puzzle that had to be put together at a very high level and coordinated and controlled at that same high level.
This effort had to be run and managed by people who give orders to government politicians and leaders, the big banks and brokerage houses, the so-called independent regulatory agencies, foreign governments and foreign leaders, and by all means the supposedly independent media which could have blown the whistle on the whole operation.
This effort was so big, complex, complicated and difficult, the needed coordination and control was extraordinary. Perhaps it was like a juggling act. If the juggler was juggling one ball, pin or whatever in the air, it would be no big deal. But as the number of balls, pins or objects increase, the difficulty rapidly expands. Thus, if the juggler was juggling ten balls or whatever, all at once in the air, it would require a great deal of skill, coordination and control.
The complexities and diverse parties and interests in this game of manipulating and controlling the imposed fall in real estate, mortgages, and commodities since 2007 was enormous. It has required a very powerful clique of super rich people who give orders and not take orders.
The Bottom Line
By now, I hope that there are no readers who still wish to maintain that all of the events in the financial markets for the past two years have happened on a spontaneous, random chance basis without any involvement of powerful people to coordinate and control the events as necessary.
The fall since 2007 has been gigantic and awesome. It has required the participation of both buyers and sellers. It would be a fantastic job to crash and control even one commodity or one item in today’s complex world. But to crash and/or control a whole litany of commodities, currencies, real estate, mortgages, etc, this is a big scale operation and can be accomplished only at the highest levels of world power.
And if I were to tell you that almost the same people who coordinated and controlled the Kennedy thing also coordinated and controlled the US economic and financial market falls since 2007 would you believe it?
The reader may want to attribute it all to Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. But there is no way that what we have beheld happening can be attributed to an accident or change occurrence. Something big has been involved.
The only way this think could have played out is if there was complicity, collusion and a conspiracy among extremely powerful people at the highest levels of world power. And please, the President of the US is not in that position. We can also exclude the German Chancellor, the British Prime Minister and all the other governments, politicians and state leaders (after all, these people are like the rest of us, they take orders from the real power brokers who do in fact call the shots).
And who are the most powerful people in the world today. Well, there are some religious, media and social leaders who are quite powerful. But all these persons are down the line from the power of the people with money. After all, with money you can buy most of the rest of the so-called world leaders, to certainly include the world’s government and political leaders.
The conclusion we must come to is that undoubtedly the super rich international bankers have been in the driver’s seat on this collapse from day one. They planned it and have supervised and controlled it all the way to do exactly what it is in fact doing. Thus, things are going just like they were planned to go. The crafty, wise, cunning, clever Franklin Rosenfeldt said that if it happens in politics, it was planned that way.
