Dishonest Money: CHAPTER 3 The Bailout by Joseph Plummer

 

Dishonest Money: CHAPTER 3 The Bailout by Joseph Plummer

 

CHAPTER 3
The Bailout

Enough with the set up, let’s take a look at the Federal Reserve System in action. Limiting our focus to a period of roughly 20 years (1970 through 1990), we’ll pick out some of the more interesting and well-documented bailouts.

 

While reading, keep in mind that there are “bigger and better” bailouts in the works right now. As long as it’s profitable for the financial elite to make these kinds of “mistakes,” the stories that follow will never end.

Penn Central Railroad

 

In 1970, Penn Central was America’s largest railroad. It employed 96,000 people, had a weekly payroll of $20 million, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. If ever there was a candidate for a “protect the public” bailout, this was it. One thing to keep in mind as we proceed, many of the large banks that had loaned Penn Central into inescapable debt also had bank officers on Penn Central’s board of directors. In other words, Penn Central was “mismanaged into insolvency” by the very banks it owed money to. They helped dig the giant hole from which the company (and the bankers) would eventually be rescued.

 

The House Banking and Currency Committee Chairman, Wright Patman, conducted an investigation in 1972 and found:

Our Republican Form of Government: Section 46 — No Pledges Ever by Anna Von Reitz

 

Our Republican Form of Government: Section 46 — No Pledges Ever by Anna Von Reitz

 

Section 46 — No Pledges Ever
We all grew up being exposed to “The Pledge of Allegiance” as schoolchildren. We were indoctrinated from an early age to mindlessly recite something without knowing what it really meant.
Start with the fact that a “Pledge” is a Feudal Oath given by a Serf or Tenant to a sovereign, promising “allegiance” another word from the feudal relationship vocabulary, subjecting yourself to the sovereign and promising to support and protect the sovereign.
And what was standing in the “sovereign” position in “The Pledge of Allegiance”?
The flag of something calling itself “the United States of America” — they just didn’t bother to tell
anyone which United States of America.
Most Americans have been kept from ever knowing that there are many different variations of both “United States” and “United States of America” and yes, it does matter which one you are talking about.
There is the unincorporated version of The United States which refers to the sovereign soil jurisdiction State Republics and their “Union” formed in 1776, and there is the unincorporated version of The United States of America, our Holding Company formed September 9, 1776, which refers to the sovereign International Land Jurisdiction of the unincorporated States of the Union.

Chris Hedges: Genocidal Scorecard

Bibi on Board – by Mr. Fish

By Chris Hedges / Original to ScheerPost

A United Nations report, published on Monday, lays out in chilling detail the advances made by Israel in Gaza as it seeks to eradicate “the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine.” This genocidal project, the report ominously warns, “is now metastasizing to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.” 

The Nakba or “catastrophe,” which in 1948 saw Zionist militias drive 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, carry out more than 70 massacres and seize 78 percent of historic Palestine, has returned on steroids. It is the next and, perhaps, final chapter in “a long-term intentional, systematic, State-organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.”

Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, who issued the report, titled “Genocide as colonial erasure,” makes an urgent appeal to the international community to impose a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel until the genocide of Palestinians is halted. She calls on Israel to accept a permanent ceasefire. She demands that Israel, as required by international law and U.N. resolutions, withdraw its military and colonists from Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. 

At the very least, Israel, unchecked, should be formally recognized as an apartheid state and persistent violator of international law, Albanese states. The U.N. should reactivate the Special Committee Against Apartheid to address the situation in Palestine, and Israel’s membership in the U.N. should be suspended. Short of these interventions, Israel’s goal, Albanese warns, will likely come into fruition.

How to…Rig Your Rigged Elections

How to…Rig Your Rigged Elections

Five tips for the ambitious autocrat just starting out.

Kit Knightly

Are you an aspiring oligarch, dictator or autocrat? Do you want to wield power whilst maintaining a façade of popular support and democratic mandate? Do you want to make your proles believe they have a choice?

Well then, welcome to the first of our “How to…” series. A selection of articles dedicated to teaching aspiring authoritarians how to hide tyranny behind a reassuring mask of  freedom.

Here we’ll go into the finer points of how it’s possible to have “elections” that mean almost nothing.

What we talk about when we talk about rigging an election

First things first, we need to establish what we mean when we talk about “election rigging”.

Controlling the outcome of an election is a comparatively simple, even vulgar, process. All you need to do is manipulate the count and/or simply lie about the result.

However doing this efficiently  – rigging an election with as little effort as possible and disguising that fact is more difficult.

In short, if your rigged election is entirely reliant on simply forging ballots you have done something wrong. If you want to reliably and consistently control the results of your “elections” you need to be more creative than that.

The vast majority of your work pre-election will be dedicated to laying the groundwork, building infrastructure, and lubricating the public.

The vote itself is the final destination in a long journey that starts with…

SHENANIGANS ALREADY REPORTED; ARE THEY TRYING TO WALK AWAY?

Well as we approach the final day of voting in this years American (s)election season, there are already reports of election shenanigans, a fact which does not bode well for the outcome. Consider the following stories, shared by V.T., and L.H.:

All of this is, I suspect, in aid of preparing the narrative for another massively contested election. Indeed, as Catherine Austin Fitts and I observed in her last quarterly wrap up report, it certainly seems as if "they" are trying desperately to split the country. As Ms. Fitts has often observed, a split of the country could enable the banksters and politicians to literally walk away from their obligations.  In any case, the following article lays out, as good as any I've seen, the "options" available to contest the election:

Will Secession be the real winner in November?

What is intriguing about this article is its mention of a scenario that has been entertained on this website before, and that, again, Ms. Fitts and I have also mentioned as a possibility in her quarterly-wrap ups in the past couple of years. Here's the way the article puts it:

It is no secret that America faces a very uncertain future heading into the November 5th elections. On one side are a desperate cadre of elites, criminals, and rabid cultists cowering at the fear of what a Trump electoral victory could mean for their exclusive clique which has run the American political system for at least the last century. On the other side are many ordinary Americans who have been driven to the edge domestically in all aspects of their lives by failed elitist policies and criminal enterprises sanctioned by the increasingly imperial government in Washington DC. It is a mercurial period which is bearing much resemblance to the lead-up of several flashpoints in American history, such as the conflicts in the 1770s, 1860s, and 1940s.

Patrick J. McShay, Kamala Harris Is Controlled By Communists and Globalists

 

Patrick J. McShay, Kamala Harris Is Controlled By Communists and Globalists


“Keep voting Democrat…One day they will restrict your freedom, restrict your history, and restrict your safety. All in the name of professional victims that don’t understand the consequences of their ignorance”

— Ronald Reagan, US President

“It’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell rampaging Trump mobs that he is disqualified, and then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions”.

— Jewish Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin

Kamala Harris has just six days left to do something she has yet to do since being crowned as Braindead Joe’s replacement candidate, due to his advanced dementia and cognitive impairment. She has yet to articulate why she wants to be president and what she would do differently than “Dementia Joe”. Unfortunately, she’s got nothing but abortion and continuing her globalist controller’s disastrous policies that have destroyed the country.

While killing their babies seems way too important to the slags on the left, who in their right mind would give this woman, who has destroyed the country for four years and has a track record of failing upward most of her life, four more years in office?

Harris used Affirmative Action for a leg up to get into college and was also the recipient of assistance through the Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) at UC Hastings Law School, originally called “The Minority Assistance Program”, a program designed to assist disadvantaged students. For some reason, Harris is angered when she is referred to as a DEI candidate, but she is, after all, the quintessential DEI candidate.

What were her disadvantages? Her father was a tenured economics Professor at Stanford University, her mother was a scientist and Cancer researcher, and she grew up in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Canada. The poor thing.

Kamala and her Marxist handlers are panicking, and the cries of “Hitler” and “Nazis” are all anyone hears from these fake media hacks in the mainstream media, absurdly comparing the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday night to the 1939 Nazi Party rally that was held in the old MSG building that was demolished nearly 60 years ago. The Trump rally was in the new MSG building built in 1968. Harris, whose father is an admitted Marxist, is using the Communist playbook in her attacks on Trump and Vance because that’s all she has left.
