Paper money is a paper
promissary note or bearer
bond.
Mammon is Syriac for "money" or "riches," and is used in Luke
16:9.
Occuring frequently in the
Tanakh, but not in the
Septuagint.
4th century AD Jerome finds it in
use in Syria, and it is found in the writings of
Augustine in the dialect of
his native Berber country.
Berber is spoken by large populations of
Morocco, Algeria and
Libya, by smaller populations of
Tunisia, northern Mali, western and northern Niger, northern Burkina Faso and
Mauritania and in the Siwa
Oasis of Egypt.
There is no ground for believing that it ever
became the name of any deity, who, like the Plutus of the Greeks, was
worshipped as the god of
wealth.
Here, there is obviously an approach to a personification
for the sake of contrasting the service
or worship of money with that which is due to
God.
Milton describes
Mammon as among the fallen
angels.
"Money is an imaginary
value, an artificial
creation of human
speculation.
It has nothing to do with nature, nothing to do with
organic
things.
Money does not make a man stronger, wiser or
nobler.
The capability
conferred on it by the human
imagination, of possessing,
not only buying power, but -
in the form of loan capital -
power to produce interest, has
invested it with an almost supernatural
might."
F. Roederich-Stoltheim (Theodor
Fritsch)
"Very little is more
stressful
in modern life than
the acquisition of money.
Money is a complex signifier in
contemporary western culture.
It encompasses
the movement of social
patterns both towards desire and
away from social survival
concerns.
In tribal
cultures, survival and
desire are linked to community.
Expulsion is then the greatest fear;
used by cults throughout
history.
In contemporary society,
people are separate, while
desire and fear are linked to jobs by way
of income.
With such stress attached to money, convincing someone to
spend money means the communication to
direct action requires a
very strong emotional appeal." - Edward Wilson & Wes

Office of Thrift
Supervision
| James Gilleran of the Office of Thrift Supervision
(chainsaw) and John Reich (Vice Chairman, FDIC and later, OTS)
and representatives of three banker trade associations: James McLaughlin of the
American Bankers Association,
Harry Doherty of America's Community Bankers, and Ken Guenther of the
Independent Community Bankers of America. |
James Gilleran, an impassioned advocate of
deregulation,
cut a quarter of the
agency's 1,200 employees between 2001 and 2004, even though the value of
loans and other assets of the firms regulated by the OTS doubled.
Scott
M. Polakoff claimed the Office of Thrift Supervision closely monitored
allowances for loan losses at Countrywide
Financial, Washington Mutual and Downey
Savings among others and considered them sufficient.
Darryl W. Dochow,
the official in charge of regulating Washington Mutual, Countrywide Financial
and Downey Savings played a key role in the collapse of Charles Keating's
Lincoln Savings and Loan by impeding oversight.
Darryl W. Dochow, Ellen
Seidman, James Gilleran and Scott M. Polakoff knew what was happening and let
it happen.
Washington Mutual paid 13% of their budget in the 2007-2008
fiscal year while Countrywide provided 5%.
1985
IndyMac Bank is founded by David S. Loeb and Angelo Mozilo as a means of
collateralizing Countrywide Financial.
2003
Stanford L. Kurland, at the center of that culture shift at Countrywide
Financial, acknowledged pushing Countrywide into the type of higher-risk loans
- loans that came with low "teaser" interest
rates.
July 9, 2008 IndyMac shares
closed at $0.31 in trading on the New York
Stock Exchange, a loss of over
99% from its high of $50
in 2006.
July 11, 2008 $32 billion in IndyMac
Bank assets are seized.
Stanford L. Kurland founds PennyMac
with the purchase of $558 million in deliquent Countrywide mortgages held by
the FDIC for pennies on the dollar.
Stanford L. Kurland then
renegotiated the mortgage with the mortgagee writing down the value of the
mortgage and reducing the interest rate.
Eric Lipton predicted
PennyMac stands to make a profit of at least 50% on mortgage defaults.
Others suggest PennyMac may only return 15% to 25% a year.
"Kurland is seeking to capitalize on a situation that was a product of his
own creation. It is tragic and ironic. But then again,
greed is a growth industry." - Blair A.

Washington Mutual
"Three decades ago, a single income could purchase
a house and pay taxes, utilities, gas, insurance, etc. Today, debt - not hard
work and saving - makes the American dream
possible." - Regina Powers 01/08December 2006Washington Mutual states in a securities filing
that it is continuing to qualify borrowers based on their ability to afford a
teaser interest rate.
September 25, 2008 The
Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) seizes Washington Mutual and placed it into
the receivership of the FDIC.
The FDIC sells
Washington Mutual assets and liabilities, including covered
corporate bonds and other
secured debt valued in a 2007 SEC
filing at $327.9 billion to JP Morgan Chase
for $1.9 billion.
"Our efforts at The Hamilton Securities
Group to help HUD achieve maximum return on the sale of its defaulted
mortgage assets coincided with a widespread process of "privatization" in which
assets were, in fact, being transferred out of governments worldwide at
significantly below market value in a manner providing extraordinary windfall
profits, capital gains and financial equity to private corporations and
investors.
I now refer to privatization as "piratization." - Catherine
Austin Fitts
1986
Camilo Padreda, a former conterintelligence officer for Fulgencio
Batista and GOP
campaign finance chair for Dade county, hires Jeb Bush to be the exclusive
leasing agent of a Padreda building built with HUD funds.
1990 Camilo Padreda pleads guilty to falsifying
HUD documents in order to get the $17.8 million loan for the building Jeb Bush
leased exclusively.
1991 Hamilton
Securities Group designs Community Wizard software is mapping
financial flows of HUD government money to specific
communities.
Hamilton Securities, a HUD contractor, is attempting
to return excess market value to
the community in which
the repossession took place.
Concept: HUD sells a foreclosure to the local city
government for a dollar.
Local city government resells the home to
a low income family but in reality it is typically sold to a speculator who
later flips it at a substantial profit.
"I started an
investment bank and financial
software firm in Washington called The Hamilton Securities Group. As I
served as Assistant Secretary of Housing-FHA Commissioner at HUD, I tried on
numerous occasions to persuade Secretary of HUD Jack Kemp not to propose new
policies that would result in the abrogation of government contracts or
contractual obligations with respect to financial assets." - Catherine Austin
Fitts
Foreclosures are picked up
for 1⁄100 value and resold at substantial
profit.
The flow of US government funds showed US agencies are
complicit in the laundering of
massive amounts of money from criminal activities.
Instead of
selling repossessed properties at below market value where . thanks to HUD
regulations the idea was to allow people in the community to purchase the
distressed property creating equity value for the new community based property
owners.
During the criminal investigation of the Hamilton Securities
Group the departments of the federal government acted
in a normative manner - normal for a
fascist police state.
" We were later to discover that the
Department of Justice was using CACI International Inc as
a litigation support contractor on
our case.
CACI, the leading supplier of Geographic
Information Systems software, was in the headlines as a result of the
prison at Abu Grahbi in
Iraq.
DoJ took our
entire digital infrastructure.
Shortly thereafter CACI came
out with a geographic information systems mapping tool to help support
increased policing and enforcement product.
This begs the question whether
DoJ was paying our
competitor to help themselves to our proprietary software and databases.
The fastest way to connect the
dots would have been for me and my teammates to have looked at the maps of
high HUD single family defaults.
Hamilton Securities
software tools and
databases dive into government financial flows would have identified
patterns of mortgage securities
fraud.
Why not use
Community Wizard software to increase surveillance?
The
suppression and theft of
our software tools,
databases and computer
system was orchestrated throughout government." -
Catherine Austin
Fitts
CACI International Inc, motto Ever Vigilant,
provides services and solutions to federal clients "national security, improve
communications and collaboration, secure integrity of information systems and
networks, enhance data collection and analysis, increase efficiency and mission
effectiveness."
According to the CACI paper Assymetric Threat Global
Snapshot, November 2009 the
greatest future terrorist threats will emanate from within from
disgruntled radicalized
Americans who are sympathetic with Islamic jihad.
"There is
consensus that asymmetric threats, including acts of terrorism, will be
a prominent feature of the
threat environment." - National Security Strategy, asymmetricthreat.net
Herb Karr and Harry Max Markowitz* founded California Analysis
Center Inc., precursor to CACI International Inc., in Santa Monica,
California.

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt Ѵersion of
Яeality on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs
when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us
beliefs or persons due to their philosophical ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ
of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts
no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and
every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with
Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in
the cu☮ing the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that has enveloped
the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent
acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is
considered a "hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way
c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to
reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race.
The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the
w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary
en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the
coλλapse of moraλs, the eg● w●rship and the
destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel has
garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the
populace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng
em☠ti☠nal butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed
into the πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media
psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the
destruction of the fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures
that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the
dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has
been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt
internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which
