"Ever since the Basel Bank for International Settlements was created in 1930 by Bank of England Governor Montagu Norman, with help from the US bankers, nominally to deal with German World War I reparations payments under the Young Plan, but as it soon became clear, to serve as a politically independent world central bank monetary cartel, central bank independence has become dogma." - F.

"When you are dealing with a world chain of financial consulates, all linking up in a world system, none of them regarded as American banks, or British banks, or French banks, or Italian banks, or German banks, but all of them members of the World Banking System, you are obviously not dealing with individuals who are trying to make a living." - Henry Ford

1930

Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is established by Charles G. Dawes (Vice President under Calvin Coolidge from 1925-1929), Owen D. Young (founder of RCA and Chairman of General Electric from 1922 until 1939), and Hjalmar Schacht of Germany (President of the Reichsbank).

The BIS is the "international central bank for the central bankers."

"The international bankers swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side and issued their orders with the imperiousness of absolute monarchs." - Lloyd George, British Prime Minister

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank deal with governments. The BIS deals only with other central banks.

The BIS is a closed corporation owned by the 55 central banks.

Major shareholders include the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Italy, Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank, Nederlandsche Bank, Bundesbank and Bank of France.

The heads of these central banks travel to the Basel headquarters once every two months, and the General Meeting, the BIS's supreme executive body, takes place once a year.

The Basel headquarters are listening device proof.

There are no public minutes of the meetings.

Everything discussed is confidential.

"Central bankers can sometimes be prima donnas." - BIS SG Gunter Baer

"BIS promotes monopoly capitalist fascism." - Dean Henderson

Central bankers wield power that exceeds that of many political leaders.

Their decisions affect entire economies.

Central bankers set interest rates determining the cost of borrowing, the overall money supply and the speed of global financial currents.

Central bankers are in charge of bank supervision in most countries.





1932 "We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions in the world.

I refer to the Federal Reserve Board.

This evil institution has impoverished and bankrupt the US.

It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures." - Louis T. McFadden, chairman House Banking & Currency

"Zionist financial power dominates the entire world in its material affairs.

Concentrated Zionist power is working in unison to destroy the existing order of things." - Arthur Nelson Field, The Truth About the Slump

1934 "A warehouseman, taking goods deposited with him and devoting them to his own profit, either by use or by loan to another, is guilty of a tort, a conversion of goods for which he is liable in civil, if not in criminal, law.

By a casuistry which is now elevated into an economic principle, but which has no defenders outside the realm of banking, a warehouseman who deals in money is subject to a diviner law: the banker is free to use for his private interest and profit the money left in trust. . . . He may even go further.

He may create fictitious deposits on his books, which shall rank equally and ratably with actual deposits in any division of assets in case of liquidation." - Elgin Groseclose, Institute for International Monetary Research






The BIS, a corporation, has the status of a sovereign power and is immune from all governmental control.

A summary of this immunity is listed below:

1) Diplomatic immunity for persons and what they carry with them (i.e., diplomatic pouches).

2) No taxation on any transactions, including salaries paid to employees.

3) Embassy-type immunity for all buildings and/or offices operated by the BIS worldwide.

4) No oversight of operations by any government authority, never audited.

5) Freedom from immigration restrictions.

6) Freedom to encrypt any and all communications of any sort.

7) Freedom from any legal jurisdiction, they have their own police force.


The first President of BIS is Rockefeller banker Gates McGarrah - an official at Chase Manhattan and the Federal Reserve.

McGarrah is the grandfather of former CIA director Richard Helms.

Gates McGarrah, a director of the Astor Foundation and chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, was a member of the Pilgrims Society.

Historian Carroll Quigley says BIS was part of a plan, "to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks acting in concert by secret agreements."

1933   "Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization." - Franklin D Roosevelt inaugural address

1934   New Britain magazine of London publishes a statement made by former British Prime Minister David Lloyd George that, "Britain is the slave of an international financial bloc."





1944   US lobbys unsuccessfully for BIS demise at the post-WWII Bretton Woods Conference.

The IMF and the World Bank are forged at Bretton Woods Conference.

BIS holds at least 10% of monetary reserves for at least 80 of the world's central banks, the IMF and other multilateral institutions.

The financial underwriter for international agreements monitors the global economy and serves as lender of last resort in global financial collapse.

The IMF and World Bank are central to this "New World Order".

World Bank bonds are floated by Morgan Stanley and First Boston.

The French Lazard family becomes involved in Morgan interests.

Lazard Freres - France's investment bank - owned by Lazard and David-Weill families - old Genoese banking scions represented by Michelle Davive.

A major shareholder, Chairman and CEO of Citigroup was Sanford Weill.

In planning the post-war economy it is jointly decided that the Black Eagle Trust will be used to fight communism, bribe political leaders, enhance the treasuries of US allies, and manipulate elections in foreign countries.

This trust is headed by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, assisted by John J. McCloy (next head of the World Bank) and Robert Lovett (next Secretary of Defense) and consultant Robert B. Anderson (next Treasury Secretary).

Robert B. Anderson, operator of Commercial Exchange Bank of Anguilla in the British West Indies is convicted of running illegal offshore banking operations and tax evasion. Investors lose about $4.4 million.

1963   Eurodollar market is worth around $148 million.

1966 " The powers of financial capitalism had a far reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands.

This system was to be controlled by a world central bank acting in concert through secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.

The apex of the system is the Bank For International Settlements - a private bank owned by state central banks, themselves private corporations.

Each central bank dominates the state by control over treasury loans, by manipulating foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."- Carroll Quigley Tragedy And Hope

"Under a misguided set of international rules that took hold toward the end of the 1990s, banks were allowed to use internal risk measurements to set capital requirements." - Joe Nocera

Mark-to-market or fair market value accounting refers to inflating asset values to assume predicted market return at time of future sale.

This is an unrealistic valuing strategy as true fair market value can only be known for certain at the point the exchange contract is executed.

Fair value accounting becomes a part of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the US.

Enron used the concept of fair market value to inflate the future value of electricity transmission held by off-balance-sheet "special purpose" entities as futures contracts which lead to the collapse of the Enron energy futures exchange.

Failure to employee mark-to-market is given by Wall Street as the mitigating cause of the Orange County Bankruptcy (OCB).

"The more complicated these investments are, the more a question of appropriateness comes to the fore." - Felix Rohatyn, Lazard Freres partner and former chairman of the Municipal Assistance Corporation.

The largest investment bank to deal with Orange County was Merrill Lynch.





"It is difficult to avoid the observation that Lombardi's drawings make visible: that since the 1970s, criminals have warped the world banking system to their own bent.

RT Naylor's prediction of the "mass criminalization of the financial business" and the worst fears of Interpol chief Raymond Kendall have both come to pass.

The BIS informed the author that "derivatives embedded in loans, securities, and other on-balance sheet assets (e.g. credit-linked notes) do not fall within the scope of our OTC derivatives statistics and are therefore not reported to us unless they are a derivative instrument that must be treated separately under FAS 133 or IAS 39.

This means that the $835 trillion in outstanding derivatives positions reported to the BIS in June 2012 did not include the subprime mortgages market, which De Soto estimated in excess of $500 trillion in 2009.

It is reasonable to infer that at least one reason why the Federal Reserve has tried to keep interest rates so low for so long is to avoid upsetting the derivatives markets and the related hedge books of banks and other corporations." - Patricia Goldstone

Chronic Illness and Bankruptcy

#1 Reason Americans File for Bankruptcy


March 23, 2009 Treasury Secretary Timothy Franz Geithner, a protégé of Henry Kissinger, announces his latest plan which seeks to harness government and private resources to purchase an initial half-trillion dollars of off-balance-sheet toxic debt of investment banks.

Timothy Franz Geithner holds out the expectation that the program will eventually could grow to $1 trillion.

"Here's the scenario:

The borrower is a retailer that has been in business for 26 years.

They have five retail outlets, employ 90 people, have revenue of over $10 million and are well-respected members of their community.

In 2007, its bank approved a term loan to expand the business.

The term loan balance is $650,000.

They also have a $1 million working capital line of credit for inventory and they owe $800,000.

The loan is supported by the personal guarantees of the two business owners and UCC filings on the incorporation assets, which is basically inventory.

The last three years, financial statements reflect a decrease in revenue (sales) and they have sustained losses.

When the bank made the term loan, the business's financial statements already reflected losses.

Nonetheless, the bank wrote covenants into their loan agreement that required the business to produce a certain level of profitability.

If the business did not meet this level of profitability, the loan could be called for "technical default" of the covenant.

From day one, the bank waived this requirement.

That is, until this year, when they placed the loan in their "special assets/workout division" and subsequently "called" the loan.

The bank demanded payment in full by April 1.

It is important to understand that this businmess never missed even one payment on either loan.

The owners were working diligently to reduce expenses.

They hired seasoned retail consultants to guide them through the process of restructuring their business so that they would be able to remain in business.

The owners showed every willingness to work with the bank and make the changes that would bring them through this economic crisis with all commitments met as agreed.

The owners were faced with the realization that the bank was going to close them down.

Their new loan officers, the decision makers, were in another state and communicated with them through e-mail.

Let's examine the stupidity and short-sightedness of this bank's decision.

If the bank demands payment in full on the loan, they put the company out of business.

The bank will then sell the inventory and perhaps get 50 cents on the dollar for the inventory.

The bank will still sustain a loss of $750,000.

Additionally, the 90 employees will now be out of work.

And five pieces of commercial property would become vacant and no longer produce cash flow (rent) to the landlords.

If the landlords cannot fill the space, and don't have the rental income, it is likely that they will not be able to make their mortgage payments on the commercial properties.

The domino effect is astounding." - Joe Nocera March 10, 2009



April 24, 2009 Nonperforming on-balance-sheet assets of JP Morgan Chase grew 185% over the past year to $14.7 billion.

Bad assets of Bank of America increase 229% to $25.7 billion.

Bank of America hammered with foreclosure fraud lawsuits

Problem assets at Citigroup rose 128% to $27.4 billion, and Wells Fargo jumped 180% to $12.6 billion.





2009   Bank of America, General Electric and ExxonMobil pay no US federal taxes.

Exxon's net profit for that year is over $45 billion.


"Exxon utilized subsidiaries in the British Crown-controlled Bahamas, Bermuda and Cayman Islands to dodge the IRS.

These opaque offshore Eurodollar markets also launder Saudi petrodollars, CIA drug money and Mossad arms profits.

Illicit funds come out squeaky clean on the balance sheets of mega-banks.

Secretive Swiss banks play a key role." - Dean Henderson

2011   Rudolf M. Elmer, former head of the Cayman Islands office of the prominent Swiss bank Julius Baer, announces he has handed over to Wikileaks information on 2,000 prominent individuals and companies that he says engaged in tax evasion and other criminal activity.

Elmer described those exposed as "pillars of society".

End of Libor Creates Uncertainty for CME's Giant Eurodollar Market

August 9, 2019 The BIS issues a working paper calling for “unconventional monetary policy measures” to “insulate the real economy from further deterioration in financial conditions”.

(Un)conventional Policy and the Effective Lower Bound

August 15, 2019   Blackrock Inc., the world's most powerful investment fund (managing around $7 trillion in stock and bond funds), issues a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn.

Essentially, the paper instructs the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directly into the financial system to prevent “a dramatic downturn.”

Again, the message is unequivocal: “An unprecedented response is needed when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough.

That response will likely involve 'going direct': “finding ways to get central bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders” while avoiding “hyperinflation. Examples include the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as well as Argentina and Zimbabwe more recently.” - Fabio Vighi

September 16, 2019   "Downturn officially inaugurated by a sudden spike in the repo rates (from 2% to 10.5%).

'Repo' is shorthand for 'repurchase agreement', a contract where investment funds lend money against collateral assets (normally Treasury securities).

At the time of the exchange, financial operators (banks) undertake to buy back the assets at a higher price, typically overnight.

In brief, repos are short-term collateralized loans.

They are the main source of funding for traders in most markets, especially the derivatives galaxy.

A lack of liquidity in the repo market can have a devastating domino effect on all major financial sectors." - Fabio Vighi

Understandably unwilling to go to war with International Monetary Fund(IMF) and the World Bank(WB) that controlled their debt, crisis struck new democracies after WWII had to accept IMF and the WB rules.

In the early eighties, IMF and the WB rules got a great deal stricter.

The debt shock coincided precisely, and not coincidentally, with a new era in relations, one that would make military dictatorships largely unnecessary.

It was the dawn of the era of "structural adjustment" - dictatorship of debt.

Milton Friedman's Chicago School of Economics cracks China open.

"Economic reforms" turn China into the sweatshop of the world.

"The Princelings", billionaires, are children of Communist Party officials.

Although the IMF and the WB have loaned money to 'undeveloped' countries the costs have been staggering.

The IMF and the WB does not make loans for altruistic purposes.

Collateral includes infrastructure and natural resources.

WB and the IMF force countries to privatize their infrastructure to be eligible for debt relief as they did in the Asian financial crisis.

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their philosophical ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason 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 personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
