Dead Men Talking - About Today

Jefferson Lincoln and Kennedy v. Today's Bankers...they want YOU and YOUR country.

Some people rely on messages from mediums and intuitives, channels and psychics to get their information about the future.

Having seen intuition work in extraordinary ways, and also having had prophecies about my personal future come to pass, I'd be the last person to discount such out-of-the-ordinary things.

Nevertheless, I'd also be the first to say that when it comes to the bottom line, a person has to rely on their own judgment when evaluating information, from any source - me included.

Further, having been a journalist since 1960, I have a preference for being able to cross check whatever information comes my way on a subject of interest. In this case, it happens to be the world financial crisis.

This week, natural disasters seem to have taken a back seat in the news to a man-made one - the global economic melt down that has almost every country in the world scrambling to prop up their financial institutions.

There is a vast amount of classical punditry out there too...and it is so predictable it is almost not worth reading. Except that, if you ignore it, you could wake up tomorrow more penniless than you are today.

Before getting to the prognostications (that means something like 'forecasts') of several recognized psychics and mediums, let us briefly visit the global financial train wreck.

On the face of it, it appears that it was started in the United States through greed and stupid financial shenanigans. (I am going to go to the point of explaining how it was started deliberately, but we'll get to that later).

According to what the mainstream is telling us, banks and other types of lending institutions began lending to people who wanted to buy houses - but with very little down in the way of a deposit, and very little possibility of actually paying off the mortgage.

They were able to do this, along with other shady practices, because the US Congress some time ago lifted various regulations that were supposed to prevent this type of loan...called (and rightly so) "predatory lending."

Sidebar: A Countrywide real estate agent actually encouraged me to lie about my personal annual income when I was seeking a loan, so I know of what I speak. I backed out of that real quick, because dealing with dishonest people means you're dealing with a dishonest company, and if they go bust...where does that leave you? At the mercy of yet another predator most likely. Or out on the street.

_________________________________

What few people are aware of is that it was at the federal level that this rash of carnivorous behavior was enabled.

By deregulating the financial institutions in various ways, the national banks were not only enabled in their predatory habits, they were quick to take the opportunity to add sleight of hand to calumny.

If you didn't understand what that means, let's put it this way.

Having conned 100 low income people into buying houses worth say $300,000 each, the lenders then stacked those loan papers together, and said to some idiots in another financial outfit, "hey - look, 100 house loans with a face value of $3 million. WOW! Imagine what they'll return over a 30-year mortage...something like $9 million....PLUS the house will ALWAYS have intrinsic resale value...so how about you buy this bundle from us for, let's say, ONLY $1 million?"

"Great idea," says Avaricious Idiot B. "I've got a line of credit with so-and-so, so I can borrow the money to buy this bundle..so it won't cost me a cent. Great idea."

And so this new game of US Roulette (or should that read u/s for 'useless'?) got started.

And eventually, inevitably, the roulette wheel spun out of control and started gobbling up everyone's marbles, raking in their chips, and giving the croupier a big big smile on his face. (We'll identify him somewhere ahead).

Now that may not be exactly how it's done, but who cares? The fact is that they set up these "financial instruments" that were so convoluted and full of BS that all the other players in this get-rich-now game had virtually no clue what they were getting into....just like the low-income home buyers.

Nevertheless, the game was not only country-wide, it went world-wide, with bigger and bigger players getting into it with more and more money backed by less and less anything.

Sure, the various governments can point the finger at the United States as the initial incubator of this disease, but the truth is, their banks and financial institutions were just as remiss in their own way - like people who know there's a possible plague coming on, but who insist on playing with the disease carrier anyway.

Could this have been prevented?

Yes, it could. But those who saw it coming were sidelined. Brutally.

Imagine the United States as a body with many parts - those parts being the states.

The states all have their own watchdogs, the attorneys general who are tasked with making sure predators and thieves don't get on to the property.

Now we switch metaphors and talk about something that could make you sick. Like any body, even yours, if a virus gets a foothold, it's going to spread, and you're going to get very sick, and soon other people will get sick as well.

Fifty 'doctors,' the attorneys general of the 50 states, diagnosed the disease in its early stages - but their efforts to contain and eradicate it, were stymied...and that is clearly spelled out by the former Governor of New York, Elliot Spitzer, in this Washington Post article of February 14 2008.

In the game room where the roulette wheel spins, there's also another table where you can play dirty pool. Shortly after that op ed piece was published, Spitzer, who had been described by Fox News as "the most feared man on Wall Street, Spitzer has made a name for himself as a crusader by fighting organized crime and political corruption" was politically assassinated by an FBI sting operation.

Without pausing for a second to ask "why" the FBI leaked information claiming Spitzer was involved with a prostitute, the media put his head on the block, dropped the axe and watched his head roll. They also effectively cut out his tongue and cut off his writing hand.

But despite that, thanks to the Internet and its files, we can still read Spitzer's op ed piece, which tells us very clearly that the states were aware of the sub-prime virus five years ago.

And yet, as Spitzer says, the federal government, rather than moving to put a stop to this gathering storm, actually did all it could to encourage it to grow bigger, and stronger, and more violent - until finally, like a hurricane gathering strength, it made landfall and started destroying everything in its path.

But unlike your usual hurricane, this one did not lose strength as it came ashore. Instead, it seemed to ingest subprime loans as if they were jet fuel and before long, it had crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean the Tasman Sea and all points in between.

Today, it is whistling round the ears of (almost) every banker and investor in the world.

Needless to say, the politicians and the pundits are doing their predictable thing. They're telling us they'll find a solution, or they're whipping us into a panic about the future.

But what if you, personally, have a mental hurricane shelter?

What if, from the calm space of that retreat, you are watching the storm from its beginnings, and you are objectively aware that storms do not "just happen."

They require certain preconditions in order to even begin to build - or, to use the virus metaphor, they require an unsuspecting host to fulfill their nasty destiny.

_____________________________________

So much for a brief history of how we got where we are, which is currently a global state of panic with governments everywhere nationalizing banks and saying they'll protect all your savings - plus they'll find a way out before the crisis turns into a recession and possibly a Depression.

In other words "Trust me, I'm from the government, I'm here to help you."

Isn't that a bit like opening the door and you see the local undertaker standing there - with a smile on his face and a cocked .45 in hand?

Adding strangeness to strangeness, the very banks - the Central Banks - that have been so instrumental in all this "recovery" planning, may soon be 'nationalized' - in the public interest.

Other banks and finance houses are rapidly restructuring themselves, going bankrupt, selling themselves off, buying each other up, turning the international stock exchanges to froth, foam and blood as the minnows and sharks thrash around in a blind panic...completely unaware that 'up there' there is a huge mother ship of a trawler with a monstrous invisible net that few if any will ever escape.

Looked at objectively once again, we can see a couple of interesting issues.

The first is that it appears from what we're being told that this was a totally unexpected, unforeseen, impossible to prevent situation - and the only people who can solve it are a few politicians and several hundred bankers and experts from the private sector (which created the problem) that they will rely on for advice.

(The obvious question is "why should I trust the guy who just stuck a K-bar in my ribs to sew me up?").

The second possibility - probability- likelihood - is that the whole deal was rigged, stacked and carefully dealt to us from the bottom of the pack.

It wasn't a K-bar (a Marine fighting knife) that was shoved into our ribs, it was a slim but very sharp stilleto inserted from the back in the dark of night as we lay sleeping.

Yes it can.

Which brings us to dead presidents - talking dead presidents and founding fathers.

(What secret society was he referring to? Was it this one that Peter Jennings fronted and ABC News reported about Skull and Bones perhaps?).

Yes - that was one of them. But the secret society Kennedy referred to is in fact a global one. And it has been around for centuries.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies," said the late Thomas Jefferson.

Was he a prophet? It would seem so, according to this interview with the late Aaron Russo, a one-time friend of one of the Rockefellers.

Russo knew, because he was told face to face, that the banking families - the old established ones - were bent on total control of the world.

He was also told that after an "event" (which turned out to be 9/11) there would be a war with Afghanistan and then Iraq, and a never-ending "global war on terror."

One way to control the world would be to control its finances, would it not? Another would be to have an endless war against an invisible and manufactured "enemy."

John Kennedy told us that there was a very grave danger that any "need for increased security...will be seized upon...to the very limits of official censorship and concealment."

Kennedy too spoke of a global conspiracy.

Kennedy was murdered. Russo died of cancer.

The aristocracy lives on, as do their banks which have outlived and (almost) out-maneuvered anything that Jefferson might have had to say.

Could ownership of the media, contributions to would-be presidents (of both main parties), and influence of the legislative process further a hidden agenda? Or is that a rhetorical question.

From our hurricane bunker, let us now look calmly at where this storm might go next - and what may occur once the full damage has been wrought.

But first, another word from a dead president.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson.

The law as it stands right now in the United States allows for martial law to be imposed at the behest and will of the president alone. Other countries no doubt have their equivalents.

The law allows for banks to cease trading, without notice, to avoid a "run on the bank" that would - if it happened - reveal the fact that the money you thought you had placed in their safe keeping, is as ephemeral as smoke, as solid as plasma, as good as a click of the mouse that created it in the first place.

The institutions which have bundled all those pretend-money mortgages do not have anything like the cash reserves they would need to give you your money back.

Ironically, and it is stupefyingly ironic, you are expected to bail out them .

Oddly, strangely, as if speaking lines from a script that has an intended outcome (a surprise ending, at least to you) our politicians are now saying that their governments will take control of the banks.

Who told them to say that? - The bankers? Quite likely, since the evidence is that the banks control the governments - and a short term hurricane is no disaster when the clean-up operation has you owning the entire world.

It seems obvious that 'appropriate' laws have been set in place well in advance of today's circumstances - laws that eerily foretold that they would be required and used when the situation developed...or was engineered.

What was once freedom, is in grave danger of becoming true serfdom.

Lastly, instead of going to today's prophets and mediums and their talk of martial law, bank holidays, the New World Order and even the introduction of the draft, let us return to some dead presidents.

Or shift the blame somewhere else.

Now to Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Neither man was perfect, but both were honest.

Jefferson said: "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

And he also said: "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts."

It is underpriced PLUS there's no shipping and handling.

Sincerely.

Michael Knight.
