The view from the top of the power pyramid

[The following is an excerpt from our new book, 7 Steps to Global Economic and Spiritual Transformation, which is now available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other sites.]

The Matrix

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
--T. S. Eliot, The Wasteland, I, 19-30

Under the poet's red rock, through the rabbit hole, on the other side of the matrix is a reality so different from most folks' perceptions that few are willing to do the due diligence to discover what lies there.

Which do you choose, reality or delusion?

Banks and their corporations control the mass media

Instead, their opinions are molded by the corporate-owned mass media, where analysis and reporting take place within an extremely confined framework, as if there are no connections between events--be they political, economic, military, medical, educational, artistic, athletic, etc.--nor any memory of the past, except where it has been mythologized by those in control.

"History ain't what it is. It's what some writer wanted it to be." --Will Rogers

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press. ... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.

"An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." --U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." --John Swinton, former Chief of Staff, The New York Times, circa 1880

"A handful of us determine what will be on the evening news broadcasts, or, for that matter, in the New York Times or Washington Post or Wall Street Journal. ... Indeed it is a handful of us with this awesome power ... a strongly editorial power. ... we must decide which news items out of hundreds available we are going to expose that day. And those [news stories] available to us already have been culled and re-culled by persons far outside our control." --Walter Cronkite, quoted by Carl Jensen in Censored: The News That Didn't Make the News--And Why, 1996.

Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. --A.J. Liebling

Judging from their editorial limitations, many of the so-called alternative media are owned and operated as well.

Newspeak

There is a good reason for such policies on behalf of the powers that be, for as Orwell explained, the destruction of language and thought precedes the destruction of freedom.

We realize there are some who will ask, "How does the depiction of events in the mass media destroy language and thought?" Here is our answer.

Nowhere in the mass media will you find a reference to who owns the world's currencies, corporations, and governments; rather, the implication is that the nations of the earth are sovereign, as is their currency and their "sovereign debt." In other words, if you get your information from the corporate media, your worldview is that most nations are sovereign, which means that freedom is a matter of improving governance.

The end of sovereignty

In truth, there are only a few nations left on the planet that can be considered sovereign, i.e., they own their own central bank and they control their own currency--Syria, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Sudan--and they are at the top of the bank-owned nations' enemies list. By creating a false flag event--9/11--and blaming it on Islamic terrorists, those at the top of the power pyramid created a smokescreen behind which they eliminated state-owned central banks (Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, etc.) that (by not charging interest) were dominating the markets against the usurers' cartel across Asia, Arabia, and North Africa.

What you will find in the media, however, are assertions that ownership of corporations is distributed among millions of stockholders, that elections are verifiable, that the media accurately reports events, that the medical industry is focused on health, and that the education system is focused on knowledge and empirical reasoning, etc.

All of these assertions are patently false. Despite what we were taught in civics and U.S. history classes, the priorities of those who control the playing field are: profit, power, propaganda, and population reduction.

David Rockefeller and George H.W. Bush

How did this happen?

It all starts with private control over money creation (e.g., the "Federal" Reserve, the E.U. Central Bank, etc.). As Meyer Amschel Rothschild, the patriarch of the banking clan that bears his name, once said, "Give me control over a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." Simply put, whoever controls the creation and destruction of money, as well as credit regulation, controls the government and its citizenry. Today this power rests in a few families. It was not always this way.

Petrus Christus, The Goldsmith, 1449
The Metropolitan Museum of Art. (566 years ago)

As we noted here and here, during the early Renaissance, goldsmiths residing in the sovereign monarchies of Europe began lending money (bills of credit) based on a fraction of their clients' gold reserves, which the goldsmiths held for "safekeeping." Because these goldsmiths were not yet bankers, they were loaning what they did not own, i.e., they were counterfeiting: If all the depositors asked for their gold, the goldsmith would be short. Nevertheless, despite occasional runs by their depositors, which often resulted in the execution of any goldsmith caught short, the profitability of such usury enabled goldsmiths to become royal-licensed bankers, eventually gaining control over the indigenous currencies and luring the sovereign powers into debt, most efficiently by creating wars. Game over. The bankers soon owned and controlled nation after nation, their power "guaranteed" in perpetuity by control over the central bank and credit regulation. It could be easily argued and defended that all of these hijackings of state sovereignty involved illegal, unconstitutional, and treasonous acts.

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call For the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People, Section I: "The Old Order Changeth," New York and Garden City, Doubleday, Page & Company, 1913, pp. 13-14.

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." --President Theodore Roosevelt

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. We would have found it quite impossible to develop our global project if we had been subject to the public spotlight during these years. But, the world has grown more sophisticated and willing to move towards a global government that no longer knows war, but only peace and prosperity for all of humanity. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national self-determination practiced in past centuries." --David Rockefeller, June 5, 1991, in an address to the Bilderberger meeting in Baden Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton), as reported and translated from the September, 1991, issue of the Monte Carlo-based Hilaire du Berrier Report (also reported elsewhere in the French press, including Minutes, June 19, 1991 and Lectures Francaises, July/August, 1991). Mr. Du Berrier closely followed and chronicled the activities of Bilderberg and its overlapping groups, for over four decades.

Bank of International Settlements (BIS), Basel, Switzerland
The central bank of the central banks

What is the basis of the power of the central bankers?

When one owns the central bank and rents the currency to corporations, governments, and individuals, one eventually accumulates all of the key assets. In a 2010 study, three complex systems analysts from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, inputted the names of those serving on the boards of directors of the most critical 43,060 transnational corporations (TNCs) and discovered that no more than 147 holding companies, mostly banks, controlled the core of the global economy. Likely, the number of controlling entities is much smaller, but due to the legerdemain of high-priced corporate lawyers, the exact figure is difficult to glean.

Couple this study with one done by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Banking in 1976 and you see that the same five families who controlled the Federal Reserve System in 1913 still exert the same power today, through their ownership of the banks that are the chief stockholders of the Federal Reserve, based on capitalization. For example, a 2010 study of the 50 largest U.S. corporations showed that 80% of the cash in the accounts of these organizations was held by four banks, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America:

Why does this mean that the banks control the government?

Once the banks were able to bribe enough Congressmen to pass the Federal Reserve Act over Christmas recess in 1913 with only three Senators present, U.S. sovereignty was officially ceded to a few foreign bankers and U.S. industrialists who owned the Federal Reserve System; that is, instead of being able to issue currency without cost (except for the printing), the U.S. government was forced to issue Treasury bonds, for which it paid principle and interest, in order to borrow money from the Fed to fund its operations.[1] At this point, U.S. government debt began to mount at an asymptotic rate and the U.S. became dependent on the demand for Treasury bonds, a market which is controlled by a couple of the banks that own the Fed. As noted in the earlier quote from David Rockefeller, this process enabled the central bankers to take control over the government, the operatives of which they handpick, based on the candidate's alignment with their objectives.

"... presidents are not elected, but selected by a small elite." --Franklin Roosevelt, in a letter to Edward Mandel House

This control is extended over all three branches of the federal government--legislative, executive, and judicial--including all associated operations, e.g., military and intelligence services, health, education, labor, treasury, etc., as well as the comparable branches of state governments,[2] and key counties and cities. Police at every level have been internationalized.

There are a few cracks in the facade, which we will discuss later, but for the moment, let's look at how such a power structure works and the mentality that it engenders and reinforces.

It is important to understand that underlying the use of all information and technology gathered under such a power structure is the modus operandi that everything is first vetted for military and intelligence applications, the foremost being weaponry and spying, as well as control of the weather, earthquakes, media, voting, health, education, etc. Before the masses are ever informed about any of these applications, and before any technology is deployed in the public marketplace, it has been thoroughly analyzed and applied for many years (usually multiple decades) in the service of secret programs. This is the nature of military and intelligence operations upon which power resides in a centralized system such as ours; or, as the military dictum goes, "Intelligence drives operations."

Nations, states, counties, cities, small businesses, and individuals
are at the bottom of the pyramid

What are the objectives of the New World Order (NWO)?

Again, referencing the previous quote from David Rockefeller, the main objective of the NWO must always be to expand its control over all that it surveys. That much is obvious. But beyond the basics of privatizing all planetary (and extraterrestrial) resources, processes, goods, and services, and having near total surveillance--via satellites, phones, networks, cameras, and drones--what is the point? In order to justify profiteering by creating war, disease, and ignorance, as well as controlling virtually all key corporations, currencies, markets, and governments, the self-described "New World Order" must necessarily consider itself a cut above the rest of humanity, often referring to its leadership as the "Illuminati." On the surface, the Illuminati is an organization begun in 1776 with the intent of emphasizing reason and rationality. It was forced to disband by the Bavarian state and the Roman Catholic Church.

Whether or not this group continued sub rosa is irrelevant, because despite their pretensions, the New World Order is neither reasonable nor rational, neither illuminated nor enlightened. For example, take the activities of the Rockefellers, one of the five families that own the Federal Reserve System, and their friends, the Bushes, Mellons, DuPonts, and Henry Ford. All of these folks supported Nazi Germany and eugenics.

The Rockefellers supported Joseph Mengele
before the Nazis came to power

"Reducing the surplus population"

Population control is a passion at the top of the power pyramid. To this end, in 1910, the Rockefellers helped fund the Flexner Report, which led directly to control, via licensing (by an Act of Congress), over the medical and pharmaceutical industries in the United States. What we have seen since then is ever-increasing rigidity regarding how disease is diagnosed and what must be prescribed, in order for medical professionals to keep their licenses and insurance (another subsidiary industry of the Rockefellers).

But control over the medical and pharmaceutical industries does not end with the unholy alliance of diagnostic and prescriptive profitability (and here). One must also consider the creation of diseases and medications in the laboratory. While the masses cannot imagine that such programs exist, there is plenty of evidence to be had, beginning with the lab at Plum Island, New York, including:

"... highly suspicious connections between Plum Island and the sudden appearance of Dutch duck plague (1967), Lyme disease (1975) and West Nile virus (1999) on the East Coast. All of these disease outbreaks were first documented within a few miles of the labs. Further, as if the appearance of these foreign disease organisms are not incriminating enough, the sudden and inexplicable appearance of the Lone Star Tick in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut should be, because this sedentary tick species was formerly confined to the state of Texas. Despite the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s repeated denials of their work with these organisms at Plum Island, there are documents that reveal otherwise." --from a review of Lab 257: the Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory

And then there are the Rockefeller labs, which have been directly connected to flu, smallpox, and polio outbreaks, not to mention the Center for Disease Control, which created and oversees the Ebola initiative. There are also efforts underway to create deadly diseases.

One of the largest biological experiments inflicted on the American public occurred in San Francisco in the 1950's.

Similarly, a new lab that studies the "most dangerous pathogens on Earth' opened in Wuhan, China shortly before the outbreak of a deadly SARS-like virus called 2019-nCoV. Days later, 23 million people in seven Chinese cities were placed on quarantine.

In addition to these programs, weather modification and geologic engineering (and here) are additional means of reducing populations and attacking nations ("friend" or "foe") that fail to toe the line. At the far left of the graphic above is Bill Gates, who is a major funding source for programs that tie together weather as a weapon, GMOs, global warming, chemtrails (geo-engineering), and population reduction, all the while making a profit. Mr. Gates recently confirmed his worldview toward "excess populations."

The illusion of a democratic republic

As noted earlier, control over the media enables the NWO to indoctrinate and promulgate information that distorts actual events and conditions. With no limits on election spending, the NWO is able to inundate the population with these distortions and sway many unsophisticated voters. Coupled with control over opinion polls and voting machines, it's relatively easy to create the illusion that the political races are closer than they really are, which makes the results of hacked voting machines and electoral theft seem credible.

Control over the federal, state, county, and city governments in the U.S. creates gridlock that makes bipartisan compromises in favor of the NWO agenda--e.g., sequestration, austerity, budget cuts--seem as if they are the best achievable solutions, when, in fact, they are scripted long beforehand, as a means to reduce and privatize public services and move public tax moneys into private pockets.

The Democrats and the Republicans are both owned and operated
by the banks and their corporations.

"We must go forward cautiously and consolidate each acquired position, because already the inferior social stratum of society is giving unceasing signs of agitation. ...

"When, through the law's intervention, the common people shall have lost their homes, they will be more easy to control and more easy to govern, and they shall not be able to resist the strong hand of the Government acting in accordance with the orders of the central power of imperial wealth, under the control of the leaders of finance. ...

"We'll therefore speed up the question of [fill in the issue] by the political organization called the Democratic Party; and we'll put the spotlight on the question of [fill in the issue] by the Republican Party. ...

"By dividing the electorate this way, we'll be able to have them spend their energies at struggling amongst themselves on questions that, for us, have no importance whatsoever, and on which we only touch upon as instructors of the common flock." --United States Bankers' Magazine, 1892

Such control by the banks, over corporate, government, and political policy continues on a worldwide basis.

Profiteering on disease and poisons

Another recent example of such "compromises" is the so-called Affordable Care Act (ACA), written by private insurance companies, to benefit themselves, but sold to citizens as a Democratic Party program (Obamacare) that aims to help the masses. Whether or not the ACA is a better program than much of what existed before, it is still a scam run by the AMA, pharmaceutical companies, and the insurance industry, to profit at the expense of the public's health. No other industrialized nation--except for the Netherlands, which destroyed its previously effective health care program--allows the health of its citizens to be sacrificed to profit.

In the U.S., however, the destruction of public health and the profiteering thereby is the across-the-board strategy of the Rockefellers and their criminal co-conspirators; for example, the farming industry, where genetically modified crops (GMOs) are not only permitted, but suppliers, such as Monsanto, have successfully sued farmers for "stealing," after their fields had been contaminated by airborne GMOs. As noted earlier, regarding gridlocked legislatures and parliaments, the banks and their lackeys are succeeding in introducing GMOs into Europe despite the objection of the vast majority of the population.

The President of the U.S. is a Monsanto rubber stamp

The examples go on and on, but the bottom line is that the NWO profits while reducing the population through disease engendered via vaccines, food, airborne particles, and vaccines.

How much control does the NWO actually have?

We're taught to believe that we live in a pluralist society, with events and policies the result of various interest groups each pressing for a different agenda; but, for the most part, such a characterization is nothing more than mythology. Once again, the previous quote by David Rockefeller tells us that the powers-that-be believe they have it locked up, but as we've learned from Percy Blythe Shelley's Ozymandias, hubris is nothing new; so, let us assess the current state.

As we've noted, the bankers at the top of the power pyramid own the central core of all global assets--corporations, governments, and resources. This includes a multitude of currencies and markets, as well as military and intelligence services. Within this latter group, there reside a number of technologies, including weaponry and surveillance mechanisms, that provide information on almost everyone and every entity of interest.

In addition, the mass media captures significant portions of the population into belief systems that enable the powers-that-be to maintain their stranglehold over the system. This totalitarian state, controlled by such a small minority, would not be possible without the lockstep loyalty of the military and the police, who fail to see that they are acting against their own class interests, while protecting those who impoverish them and use them for cannon fodder.

Nowhere was the absurdity of this arrangement clearer than when the local police, acting on federal orders, drove the Occupy Wall Street protesters from their campsites. It is now illegal in most cities to be homeless or to exercise one's 1st Amendment rights (i.e., no camping or protesting allowed), while prison for the protesters and homeless remains the preferred solution, since it has become a successful profit center for the fascist overlords, who seek control uber alles. All the while, not one bank officer has been prosecuted for practicing what has proven to be "fraud as a business model" (and here).

What this means is that, with the money supply still trillions of dollars less than it was in 2008, there is a conscious strategy to increase joblessness, drive people from their homes, reduce food stamps, and then arrest (or kill) them for doing whatever they must to survive. In other words, destroy people's lives and make a profit doing so.

How does the NWO exercise its power?

Given all the weapons that the NWO has at its disposal--military, political, economic, climatic, geologic, pharmacological, political, educational, media, electoral etc.--as well as its ability to leverage these to "convince" spokespersons, subject matter experts, and office holders, as well as influence the general public, it becomes difficult to determine the degree to which events are staged, or simply the actions of slaves whose ability to think for themselves has been lost.

However, it's worth providing some examples of how those at the top of the pyramid view the world and how they are able to manipulate events if they choose to do so. Keep in mind that these scenarios are based on extrapolating from factual information and that some of suppositions are not factually provable because the data is kept from public view through top secret classifications. We are simply connecting a series of rather emphatic dots.

Shock and awe

9-11:

Putting aside the "official version" of events, which blatantly contradicts the facts and violates scientific laws (despite the attempts of various scientists on the cartel's payroll to "prove" otherwise), we are left with a variety of motivations for the perpetrators of these events. However, as we noted above, the top priority in creating this false flag event was not stealing natural resources (oil) or gaining geo-political advantage (surrounding Russia) or creating an atmosphere in which the Constitution is (illegally) shredded--all of which are secondary objectives; rather, job number one is destroying countries that own their own central banks and control their own currency (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, etc.). As we have discussed, control over money creation is the source of the NWO's power and the root cause of global dysfunction.

Syria:

As noted in the preceding link, Syria (like Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Sudan) still controls its own central bank and currency, making it a prime target of the central bankers. While all Middle Eastern nations have many citizens who vigorously oppose their own government, most of the so-called civil wars, uprisings, or "color revolutions" (across Asia, Arabia, and North Africa) are nothing more than plots orchestrated by agents (the U.S. CIA and State Department and other "allies," including the U.N.) on behalf of the central bankers. In Syria's case, the mercenaries carry out various attacks, some of which are made to look as if they were done by the government, such as the gas attacks. The result, in this case, forced Syria to dismantle its stock of chemical weapons, without any proof that they were used, instead of an independent body investigating who (the U.S., through proxies) gave the chemical weapons to the mercenaries. Unable to achieve the destabilization of Syria by these means, U.S. intelligence forces created ISIS to serve as a premise for bombing Syria.

The only thing missing in this depiction is the puppet strings from the central bankers controlling Uncle Sam

Ukraine:

On the surface, the conflict in the Ukraine seems to follow a familiar pattern. However corrupt the Russian-supported regime was, it was legitimately elected according to international monitors. This did not stop the U.S. from carrying out a coup d'etat. As with Syria, noted in the previous example, this was not a popular uprising, but the work of mercenaries, including many fascist groups, directed by the U.S. State Department and CIA, as agents of the central bankers. And just like Syria, the mercenaries staged an attack on the protestors and claimed it was done by the government. Once the mercenaries were in power, Ukraine was put into debt by the IMF (for egregious terms, in contrast to what was being offered by Russia), and the gold reserves of the country were stolen. In retaliation for Russia seizing Crimea to protect its warm-water fleet, the international banking cartel took its long-standing attack on Russian currency and upped the ante. The U.S. denies that it staged the coup and calls Russian claims to the contrary "propaganda."

But, beneath the surface, a larger question still remains; that is, was the partitioning of Ukraine a pre-arranged scenario on the part of the cartel to maintain the illusion of nation-states at war; i.e., to use an Orwellian metaphor, "Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia"; or is Putin an actual alternative to the banking cartel? There is evidence on both sides of this questions; for example, given Putin's agreement to honor the results of recent Ukraine election (the results of which we can assume were pre-arranged) and his pull back of troops from the Ukraine frontier (following Obama's speech at West Point indicating his claim of unwillingness to fight more wars), it would seem that this entire conflict was staged, following the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, to partition Ukraine between two of the three main public sector administrative divisions of the international banking cartel. On the other hand, Putin appears to be moving troops into eastern Ukraine to annex the Russian-speaking sectors.

Even the Saudis agreeing to drop the price oil, ostensibly to drive down the ruble, does not necessarily dispel the notion that all of this could be a pre-arranged scenario. For example, if the cartel were interested in converting Federal Reserve Notes to rubles, the best bargain it could get would be with a strong dollar and a weak ruble. Then, after a sufficient amount of rubles were purchased on the cheap, oil prices could be raised and the ruble would rebound, giving the cartel leverage to operate within the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) system. Even the creation of the BRICS' New Development Bank, as well as the Russian-Chinese SWIFT system that begins operations in the spring of 2015, could also be framed to bolster arguments for either eventuality: an alternate system, independent of and counter to the cartel, or a cartel-sponsored evolutionary step away from the dollar (FRNs).

It's worth noting that cheap oil is also driving wildcat frackers out of business, which means these enterprises can be picked up for pennies on the dollar. So, the cartel and their corporations, including big oil, win via this peripheral effect as well, consolidating the industry, whether the Russians are legitimately resisting or just playing along, given that their central bank is out of their hands.

Venezuela:

Having failed at various coups and assassination attempts on Hugo Chavez (Who's to say they didn't give him [or Fidel] cancer? There are long-standing bio-weapons that can do this.), the banking cartel is attempting to use the same ("color revolutions") tactics outlined above (re: Syria and Ukraine) to conjure a post-Chavez "popular uprising" in Venezuela. The sticking point for the cartel is that the domestic oil resources have been nationalized for the most part, with the profits used to improve the lot of those living in Venezuela, particularly the poor, as opposed to the profits being extracted and expatriated by the cartel. The U.S. engineered uprisings are characterized in the corporate press as a mass movement against an unpopular regime, when in fact they are directed by intelligence services using their back door to social networks to provide an excuse for mercenaries and malcontents.

Japan:

Since the end of hostilities in WWII, Japan has been considered an ally of the U.S. Despite the close ties of the two countries and their economies, Japan has managed to find a way around the principal disadvantages of a privately held debt-based currency, with two of it's biggest banks--the Bank of Japan and the Japan Post Bank--being publicly owned. This means that despite a high debt to GDP ratio, the Japanese economy remains relatively stable, because the debt is owed to the nation, not to private banks or other nations or individuals. While this is not ideal, it is an healthier economic situation than in most countries, including the U.S., which are driven into debt by the IMF, World Bank, and the central banks, in order to enslave populations and steal resources.

One means the cartel has used to attack Japan is regulations from the central bank of the central banks, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), which, at the behest of British and U.S. bankers, instituted capital requirements (Basel II) designed to destroy the the Japanese economy. Although this regulatory attack did great harm, it did not force Japan to curtail its publicly owned banks. Given that the Japanese are still characterized as "allies," the cartel was forced to use a secret weapon that was framed as a natural disaster, i.e., the ongoing Fukushima debacle. Anyone doubting this scenario should check out this article (see footnote) in the Wall Street Journal reporting the "public" sale of the Japan Postal Bank, the largest public depository bank in the world, and tying the sale to the financing of the Fukushima cleanup.[3]

Similar "geologic" actions (using HAARP) have been taken against New Zealand, which also benefits from a large public bank (Kiwibank), and China, whose four largest state banks are still, just barely, majority-owned by the state.

Summary

Going back to David Rockefeller's quote, we see that NWO believes it has the power to eventually subdue the remaining pockets of sovereignty and have the entire planet at its merciless beck and call (We may see the NWO as immoral but, in and of themselves, they are amoral); yet, let us hope, as Shelley noted in Ozymandias (see poem below), that such hubris is nothing more than "famous last words." As far as what tactics should be employed to make our hopes become reality, we will cover these in future posts.

[1] One could argue that this process began with the National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864. In this context, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was the final nail in the coffin of U.S. sovereign currency. What we are witnessing today, in terms of the replacement of government functions with corporate control, is simply a charade in which banks and their lackeys make it appear as if such a takeover is constitutional; however, there is nothing in the Constitution that permits ceding sovereignty to private parties:

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." Thomas Jefferson

"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce ... And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." –-James Garfield

"This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations." --Rutherford B. Hayes

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." --Theodore Roosevelt

Japan Post Sets IPO Plans for Next Year

By KOSAKU NARIOKA

TOKYO-Japan's state-owned postal service said Friday the government would sell part of the company to the public as soon as August, and it also disclosed plans to list its banking and insurance units.

The initial public offerings of Japan Post Holdings Co. and its financial units would give Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration cash to finance recovery efforts from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The move also would be a response to long-standing criticism from commercial banks and insurers that their government-owned rivals have an unfair advantage.

Japan Post said the share offerings would start around the middle of the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2015 through March 2016.

Currently, the government owns 100 of Japan Post, which in turn wholly owns its postal, banking and insurance units.

The group's net assets amounted to about ¥14 trillion ($116 billion) at the end of September, with the banking unit accounting for about three-fourths of the total.

Japan Post said it would incrementally reduce its stakes in the banking and insurance units to about 50%. The company said it would decide the size of the initial offerings after reviewing market conditions. It said it would use the proceeds to buy back its own shares from the government, effectively channeling the money into administration coffers.

Japan Post didn't say what proportion' of the holding company would be sold by the government, and it didn't offer an estimate of how much money might be raised. Government officials have said they ultimately hope to raise tens of billions of dollars.

Postal privatization was a top priority of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, who waged a successful election campaign on the issue in 2005.

"The first step in postal privatization, in the true sense of the term, has finally begun," said Japan Post President Taizo Nishimuro at a news conference Friday.
