The videos above are far better than average in regards to the issues at hand. Jim Willie does indicate that it will take 4 to 8 months to switch over to a new financial system once the current financial system collapses. He furthermore differentiates between a gold currency standard, gold banking standard and gold trade standard. Jim Willie does indicate significant events took place that likely removed the USA cabal from a position to interfere with the global reset. That does not mean the warfare and sabotage of industries will not continue until the monopolistic control over the financial system has been broken completely. I have reason to believe that Al Hodges' letters sent to the 'UK' and 'Switzerland' might actually have been the opposite of what they appeared to be in the sense of the utilisation of the greatest feats of diplomacy possible, whilst as far as I am concerned those locations are some of the greatest of greatest centres of power of this world and by extension of that a significant component in the causes behind many problems in the world.

Bix Weir-Implosion and Restart of Financial System Coming
Published on Oct 4, 2015 Is inflation or deflation coming? Financial analyst Bix Weir says, “It’s not really inflation or deflation. It is a ceasing of the system. After the system crashes, no one is going to accept a Federal Reserve Note. So, I wouldn’t call it deflation. I would call it a restart. What they call it at the Fed is a ‘creative destruction event.’ Meaning, in order to move on to the next step, you have to destroy all the bad that has built up, and there is a lot of bad. We see the derivatives, and we say oh, that’s bad. There is so much more going on behind the scenes. We’re talking hundreds of trillions, if not quadrillions, of dollars in electronic assets that need to be wiped away, wiped clean completely. Otherwise, where all these assets are concentrated, they will have control over us, and that’s what we need to get rid of. We need to get rid of their control of us. . . . They seem to be making decisions completely off the wall, but truthfully, it is all leading to the same thing. Blow the bubble as big as possible so that it implodes. Then, you will see a fight to get control of the monetary system after the implosion.” On war, Bix says, “The bad guys right now are trying to start World War III. That is the real dark side of how this thing might end. It will be China and Russia against us, and that is not a good thing.”

The real problem is getting control of the money that is being used by the bad guys in other countries. After we found hussein in Iraq with all the hidden stacks of money our eyes lit up. They had more stacks of U.S. Notes then some of the Fed Res in the USA. We need to be able to account for all our notes, that's why we number them. We have a system to take them out of the banking control when they are worn and they burn them up and take the numbers out of the system. The accountability of the USA dollar over sea is as bad as our trade system over seas. This is and has not been an easy task. We need all the IMF on the same page, it takes time. We should almost be there, if not done. JMHO

Drugs and crime chief says $352bn in criminal proceeds was effectively laundered by financial institutions
December 12, 2009
Drugs money worth billions of dollars kept the financial system afloat at the height of the global crisis, the United Nations' drugs and crime tsar has told the Observer.
Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, said he has seen evidence that the proceeds of organised crime were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks on the brink of collapse last year. He said that a majority of the $352bn (£216bn) of drugs profits was absorbed into the economic system as a result.
This will raise questions about crime's influence on the economic system at times of crisis. It will also prompt further examination of the banking sector as world leaders, including Barack Obama and Gordon Brown, call for new International Monetary Fund regulations. Speaking from his office in Vienna, Costa said evidence that illegal money was being absorbed into the financial system was first drawn to his attention by intelligence agencies and prosecutors around 18 months ago. "In many instances, the money from drugs was the only liquid investment capital. In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor," he said.
Some of the evidence put before his office indicated that gang money was used to save some banks from collapse when lending seized up, he said.
"Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade and other illegal activities... There were signs that some banks were rescued that way." Costa declined to identify countries or banks that may have received any drugs money, saying that would be inappropriate because his office is supposed to address the problem, not apportion blame. But he said the money is now a part of the official system and had been effectively laundered.
"That was the moment [last year] when the system was basically paralysed because of the unwillingness of banks to lend money to one another. The progressive liquidisation to the system and the progressive improvement by some banks of their share values [has meant that] the problem [of illegal money] has become much less serious than it was," he said.
The IMF estimated that large US and European banks lost more than $1tn on toxic assets and from bad loans from January 2007 to September 2009 and more than 200 mortgage lenders went bankrupt. Many major institutions either failed, were acquired under duress, or were subject to government takeover.
Gangs are now believed to make most of their profits from the drugs trade and are estimated to be worth £352bn, the UN says. They have traditionally kept proceeds in cash or moved it offshore to hide it from the authorities. It is understood that evidence that drug money has flowed into banks came from officials in Britain, Switzerland, Italy and the US.
British bankers would want to see any evidence that Costa has to back his claims. A British Bankers' Association spokesman said: "We have not been party to any regulatory dialogue that would support a theory of this kind. There was clearly a lack of liquidity in the system and to a large degree this was filled by the intervention of central banks."

Bernanke: The Housing Industry is Coming Back and That’s Good By Matthew Morrow ·Published October 06, 2015 ·FOXBusiness During an interview with Maria Bartiromo on FOX Business Network’s Mornings with Maria, former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was asked about the current state of the housing market. “There doesn’t seem to be anything remotely like we saw before the financial crisis, people have to look at their individual market, make good decisions, banks have to make good lending decisions, all those things,” notes Bernanke. Bernanke believes that the housing industry overall is coming back, and that’s good. But he does point out that “we’re nowhere near the boom kind of construction levels, for example, we saw in 2005. I mean right now, in fact, housing construction is below the level needed to provide shelter for a growing population.” He does acknowledge that prices are getting ahead of themselves in places such as New York, San Francisco and Miami. “Look, I know prices in New York are really high, that’s actually a good thing in a sense that one way of thinking about house prices is to ask whether the price/rent multiple like a price/earnings multiple on a stock, is really high or not.” Bernanke continued: “In the housing bubble, the prices of houses were way, way higher than the rents seemed to justify. In this case, you’ve got the high rents at least providing some kind of fundamental, which suggests that house prices in those particular areas, it’s certainly not a national thing, should be high.” Regarding the last housing bubble, Bernanke did admit that the Fed was responsible for missing some of it. “We missed some things, but we did, of course, know that house prices are very high. We knew that they could, very likely would come down.” Bernanke noted that in 2005, when he was in the White House working for President Bush, he made a presentation to him reporting that house prices could come down and what it would mean for the economy. “So we understand that housing prices were high; we knew at some point they would probably correct,” states Bernanke. “What we didn’t understand, and I don’t think many people at all understood, that the decline in house prices and the mortgage losses, the subprime mortgage problems, would in turn create a massive financial panic that we didn’t anticipate that was the damaging and dangerous part of the whole episode.”

Bernanke Discusses His Worst Day at The Fed
By Julia Limitone ·Published October 06, 2015 ·FOXBusiness
During an interview with The FOX Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke shared his personal experience regarding the 2008 financial crisis and his new book "The Courage To Act".
“I wanted to give my own personal viewpoint on what happened. And it was a chance for me to go back and look through my e-mails and records and think about what actually happened and try to understand it myself. And I thought it was important to give the perspective of the Fed, which was in the center of all the activities, and there hasn't been anything written by the Fed. And we cover not just the crisis, but also the period since then which has been quite interesting, with monetary policy and quantitative easing and the European crisis, all those things we talk about,” he said.
He described the hardest day as Federal Reserve Chairman.
“The toughest was clearly September 2008, the Lehman weekend, followed by what I think of as Lehman week with AIG, Merrill Lynch being taken over, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley under pressure. And we had to go -- I remember taking Secretary Paulson, we went to talk to Congress about AIG and we explained to them what we were going to do. And basically we're told, well, Congress is not supporting this, this is your choice, this is your decision, your responsibility, and it was very, very tough,” he said.
Bernanke argued that the Dodd-Frank and the Basel III changes were positive for the banking system.
“A lot of progress has been made… I think the [financial] system is a lot stronger now and I would point specifically to capital. Banks have a lot more capital. They have to be stress tested. Big banks have to hold more capital than other banks. They have to hold loss absorbing capacity in terms of bonds that can be converted to capital. So there is a lot more buffer now and that’s really good,” he said.
Bernanke argued requiring the banks to hold more capital has helped the U.S. stay competitive
“[The] U.S. banking system right now is very competitive in the world and moving into areas where other banking systems are… too weak enough to compete. So I think overall our system is doing quite well.”
He also discussed the state of the U.S. economy.
“I think it's improving. It's moving forward at a moderate pace. It’d be nice if it were stronger, but we've sure come a long way. I mean, in 2009 the unemployment rate was 10%; today it's 5. We've had, you know, six years of growth. Again, a stronger economy would be better, but we have certainly made a lot of progress and we’re doing well compared to other industrial countries,” he said.

The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
by Jim Clifton
Here's something that many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.
Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.
None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.
There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.
Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.
There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.
And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.
Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.
I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it." When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't "feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class.
Jim Clifton is Chairman and CEO at Gallup.

jrheadrick DIAMOND JEDI 14 hours ago portrush, rontroutfishing and 4 more like this. Post by jrheadrick on 14 hours ago
Absolutely outstanding .
I know you will enjoy this so please read all the way. Please don’t cheat by immediately scrolling to the end to see who the Pilot was...)
This 1967 true story is of an experience by a young 12 year old lad in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is about the vivid memory of a privately rebuilt P-51 from WWII and its famous owner/pilot.
In the morning sun, I could not believe my eyes. There, in our little airport, sat a majestic P-51. They said it had flown in during the night from some U.S. Airport, on its way to an air show. The pilot had been tired, so he just happened to choose Kingston for his stop over. It was to take to the air very soon. I marveled at the size of the plane, dwarfing the Pipers and Canucks tied down by her. It was much larger than in the movies. She glistened in the sun like a bulwark of security from days gone by.
The pilot arrived by cab, paid the driver, and then stepped into the pilot's lounge. He was an older man; his wavy hair was gray and tossed. It looked like it might have been combed, say, around the turn of the century. His flight jacket was checked, creased and worn - it smelled old and genuine. Old Glory was prominently sewn to its shoulders. He projected a quiet air of proficiency and pride devoid of arrogance. He filed a quick flight plan to Montreal ("Expo-67 Air Show") then walked across the tarmac.
After taking several minutes to perform his walk-around check, the tall, lanky man returned to the flight lounge to ask if anyone would be available to stand by with fire extinguishers while he "flashed the old bird up, just to be safe." Though only 12 at the time I was allowed to stand by with an extinguisher after brief instruction on its use -- "If you see a fire, point, then pull this lever!", he said. (I later became a firefighter, but that's another story.) The air around the exhaust manifolds shimmered like a mirror from fuel fumes as the huge prop started to rotate. One manifold, then another, and yet another barked -- I stepped back with the others. In moments the Packard -built Merlin engine came to life with a thunderous roar. Blue flames knifed from her manifolds with an arrogant snarl. I looked at the others' faces; there was no concern. I lowered the bell of my extinguisher. One of the guys signaled to walk back to the lounge. We did.
Several minutes later we could hear the pilot doing his pre-flight run-up. He'd taxied to the end of runway 19, out of sight. All went quiet for several seconds. We ran to the second story deck to see if we could catch a glimpse of the P-51 as she started down the runway. We could not. There we stood, eyes fixed to a spot half way down 19. Then a roar ripped across the field, much louder than before. Like a furious hell spawn set loose -- something mighty this way was coming. "Listen to that thing!" said the controller.
In seconds the Mustang burst into our line of sight. It's tail was already off the runway and it was moving faster than anything I'd ever seen by that point on 19. Two-thirds the way down 19 the Mustang was airborne with her gear going up. The prop tips were supersonic. We clasped our ears as the Mustang climbed hellishly fast into the circuit to be eaten up by the dog-day haze. We stood for a few moments, in stunned silence, trying to digest what we'd just seen.
The radio controller rushed by me to the radio. "Kingston tower calling Mustang?" He looked back to us as he waited for an acknowledgment. The radio crackled, "Go ahead, Kingston." "Roger, Mustang. Kingston tower would like to advise the circuit is clear for a low level pass." I stood in shock because the controller had just, more or less, asked the pilot to return for an impromptu air show! The controller looked at us. "Well, What?" He asked. "I can't let that guy go without asking. I couldn't forgive myself!"
The radio crackled once again, "Kingston, do I have permission for a low level pass, east to west, across the field?" "Roger, Mustang, the circuit is clear for an east to west pass." "Roger, Kingston, I'm coming out of 3,000 feet, stand by."
We rushed back onto the second-story deck, eyes fixed toward the eastern haze. The sound was subtle at first, a high-pitched whine, a muffled screech, a distant scream. Moments later the P-51 burst through the haze. Her airframe straining against positive G's and gravity. Her wing tips spilling contrails of condensed air, prop-tips again supersonic. The burnished bird blasted across the eastern margin of the field shredding and tearing the air. At about 500 mph and 150 yards from where we stood she passed with the old American pilot saluting. Imagine. A salute! I felt like laughing; I felt like crying; she glistened; she screamed; the building shook; my heart pounded. Then the old pilot pulled her up and rolled, and rolled, and rolled out of sight into the broken clouds and indelible into my memory.
I've never wanted to be an American more than on that day! It was a time when many nations in the world looked to America as their big brother. A steady and even-handed beacon of security who navigated difficult political water with grace and style; not unlike the old American pilot who'd just flown into my memory. He was proud, not arrogant, humble, not a braggart, old and honest, projecting an aura of America at its best.
That America will return one day! I know it will! Until that time, I'll just send off this story. Call it a loving reciprocal salute to a Country, and especially to that old American pilot: the late-JIMMY STEWART (1908-1997), Actor, real WWII Hero (Commander of a US Army Air Force Bomber Wing stationed in England), and a USAF Reserves Brigadier General, who wove a wonderfully fantastic memory for a young Canadian boy that's lasted a lifetime.
Note: You think General Stewart knew something about hot lead? And that mess was caused by the same thieves or their ilk who are still trying to steal our ROI and RV.
I'm sending 90 head of steers to market this week. That market is also rigged by the same thieves.

Rick Ackerman-Nothing Left Standing After Next Crash
Published on Oct 13, 2015 Analyst/trader Rick Ackerman says everything will shut down or be wiped out when the next crash explodes. Things like banks, brokerages and pensions can and will all go poof in a cloud of smoke. Ackerman goes on to say, “I don’t think anything will be left standing in the smoldering ruins. It’s very hard to imagine, but it is really going to be a complete disaster that is commensurate with the scope and scale of the lies we have been telling ourselves for so long. There are people who say you Chicken Little, doomsday, sky-is-falling guys almost seem to want the system to implode. I think the only way we get back to honest business is for a collapse to wipe away all the lies.
