Summary of Recent Wanta and Banking Events (Updated 17th February 2008)
Alciun Bramerton
The USA Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, was centrally involved in the administration of this theft. On several occasions in 2006 and 2007, the Chinese authorities and others pressed Paulson to instruct release of the $4.5 trillion. He refused to do this and was assassinated. His shooting took place on Friday 28th December 2007. He died on Wednesday 2nd January 2008. The Bush White House, after some initial confusion and panic, decided to conceal the fact of Henry Paulson's execution. This inexpert fiction was swallowed uncritically by the Western mainstream media. More details about the Henry Paulson assassination and the Bush White House's attempts to obfuscate the issue can be found further down this page, and on this separate page here.
The stolen $4.5 trillion originally came from The People's Bank of China in May 2006, at the time when Henry Paulson took over as USA Treasury Secretary in Washington. It was a private transfer of funds from China to an American financier called Lee Wanta of AmeriTrust Groupe. Henry Paulson stole this $4.5 trillion in June 2006. The provenance of the funds involved has been described in detail by the UK-based financial journalist Christopher Story here (11.01.08) and by Don Nicoloff here (22.01.08).
On Tuesday 30th October 2007, the Provost Marshal for the USA (Brigadier General Rodney Johnson), visited Citibank. Everything was set ready for payment of the $4.5 trillion to be made into the AmeriTrust Groupe securities account at Morgan Stanley at the latest by 6.00pm on Wednesday 31st October. This payment was not made.
Citibank and Morgan Stanley are mired in a criminal conspiracy with the USA Treasury and the USA White House which will result in the arrest, in the USA, of William R. Rhodes (Chairman of Citigroup), John Mack (Chairman of Morgan Stanley) and Henry Paulson (USA Treasury Secretary), among many others.
Now that this matter is in the public domain, it is possible that the affair will bring down not just Citibank, Morgan Stanley and their auditors, but also the American Stock Market and the White House.
The $4.5 trillion has become tangled up with banking release procedures to do with the much larger NESARA global prosperity programme shortly to be announced. The $4.5 trillion is referred to in G8 Nation memos as 'The Wanta Plan' funds. In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II of England conferred special diplomatic status upon Lee Wanta and his colleagues.
On Monday 26th February 2007, three Special Forces teams attempted to arrest Vice President Dick Cheney while he was on an aircraft parked on the runway at Sydney International airport (Australia). There was a firefight and three deaths were reported.
On Sunday 4th November 2007, after an emergency board meeting, the chairman and chief executive of Citibank, Charles Prince, resigned. He was replaced as chairman by former USA Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, and as chief executive by Sir Win Bischoff. The reason given was the recent losses in Citibank's mortgage-backed securities business.
Now relieved of his duties, Charles Prince is a dangerous man. He knows about Citibank's active involvement in the papertrail which used the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds to lubricate off-limits stealth trades. And he knows about the covert Citibank accounting strategies which kept knowledge of the Wanta Plan funds theft from several major shareholders.
On Tuesday 6th November 2007, it was reported that the entire Citibank Board of Directors had been arrested by the USA Provost Marshal. This report was premature. All members of the Citibank Board of Directors will be arrested by the Provost Marshal soon, but this has not yet taken place.
What did happen was that three thousand American banksters, corporate lawyers, accountants and others were taken into custody. It was said at the time that the others included Bill and Hillary Clinton, or two of their clones. (More information about the use of human clones in American political management can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.)
Nine aircraft were filled with handcuffed prisoners. Six of these planes were made available to the USA Provost Marshal at Dulles International Airport (Washington DC). Another aircraft came from the UK and another from Germany. The provenance of the ninth aircraft used is not yet clear.
The prisoners had their passports and mobile telephones confiscated, and after being moved to a military holding area were flown out of the USA to face the due process of international law in Europe and elsewhere. London and Frankfurt were two of the destinations. The miscreants involved are now beyond the reach of Presidential Pardons. The spouses and family members of many of those who have ‘disappeared’ have been turning up at police departments asking for information about their loved ones. The police are reported to be informing such people that the banker or lawyer concerned has been arrested for serious offences but that he’s in good health. The prisoners are now under systematic interrogation in multiple locations. Some of them are talking volubly about instructions received from line-managers above them who have yet to be arrested.
The whole operation is being funded and authorised by the World Court. This is The International Court of Justice based in The Hague (Netherlands). European involvement in what, at surface level, appears to be an American banking problem seems curious. But the Citibank scandal is about international financial fraud. And the USA's historical connections with The British Crown are still legally potent. The British Crown includes the Queen of England, but is much bigger than her. It is a covert financial cartel which embraces the British and European aristocracy, Rothschild bankers and pan-global Jewish finance. Based in the City of London and in the upper echelons of the United Grand Lodge of England (the mother lodge of world freemasonry), The British Crown is sometimes referred to as "The Club of the Isles" or as "The Crown Temple". The foundation documents of international law indicate that the USA is owned by The Crown Temple in London. All American attorneys and judges work for The Crown Temple, whether or not they aware of this technicality. From a modern American point of view, therefore, all USA attorneys and judges are foreign agents and cannot lawfully stand for public office at any level of government. But they do. This is a dog's breakfast of such legal complexity that it makes the Schleswig-Holstein Question look quaint.
A team of British specialist bankers from the UK Citibank HQ in London has flown into New York to take charge of due process at Citibank USA. This will include expediting the release of the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds.
On Monday 5th November 2007, an attempt was made by President George W. Bush to intercept the delivery of papers to the Provost Marshal. The agents sent by the White House were arrested at gunpoint.
Also on Monday 5th November 2007, the USA Provost Marshal, by Court Order, nullified the electronic codes used by the USA Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, and took over direct control of the United States Treasury himself.
A senior USA Treasury official, quoted by the Hal Turner Show, said: "This is a financial disaster caused by wilful criminal acts, perpetrated by the highest officials in the U.S. federal government during the course of several Presidencies. This ongoing criminal conspiracy is so terrible, so enormous, so far-reaching, the country may never be able to financially recover. It appears that officials in the Administrations of Bush I, Clinton I & II and Bush II, along with thousands of their closest banker buddies, have stolen upwards of $27 trillion (twenty seven trillion USA dollars) since 1988." Another source states that this $27 trillion was, in fact, stolen during an eight day period up to and including Wednesday 7th November 2007.
In related events in São Paulo, Brazil, on Tuesday 6th November 2007, Brazilian police arrested twenty people, including an employee of UBS, on suspicion of crimes including money laundering, tax evasion and illegal transfer of money overseas. Those arrested included three bank employees - two foreign and one Brazilian - six or seven black market currency traders, and several wealthy private Brazilian citizens. The group had been illegally transferring money overseas at a rate of $4m (four million USA dollars) a month for at least the past six months. The police operation involved 280 federal agents and 44 search warrants.
On Thursday 8th November 2007, the USA State Department said that Lee Wanta was collected in a car at 3.25pm, driven to Morgan Stanley and took economic receipt of his $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds. This did not happen. There was no car. Lee Wanta stayed in his hotel room all day. Morgan Stanley blocked every call from Lee Wanta, diverted him to voicemail and failed to respond. Lee Wanta is a major private client of Morgan Stanley. His Morgan Stanley account manager returned no calls.
At that time, the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds were still held at Citibank. Citibank had agreed to pay Lee Wanta $352 billion (three hundred and fifty two billion USA dollars) in interest payments on the $4.5 trillion principal tranche. It is not clear how many of Citibank's major shareholders are aware of this.
On Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th November, George Bush Snr attempted to interfere with the $4.5 trillion payout. His collaborators both in the USA and abroad have now been arrested. These included six bankers in Germany, one in Switzerland, and three USA Treasury personnel or agents.
It is now thought unlikely that the USA Provost Marshal will be able to safely instruct release of the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds until both George Bush Jnr and George Bush Snr have been arrested.
Early on Saturday 10th November 2007, the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds were transferred from Citigroup to Morgan Stanley. The money was paid into a fictitious account with a name very similar to AmeriTrust Groupe Inc, but subtly different. In this account they could not be accessed by Lee Wanta. Shortly afterwards, Christopher Story, the investigative financial journalist working with Lee Wanta, reported that the $4.5 trillion were transferred out of Morgan Stanley to an undisclosed account elsewhere, thought to be at Bank of America.
It is very possible that the only way, now, that the USA Provost Marshal will be able to effect the final purging of the Augean stables in the USA will be to impose Martial Law for a short period of time in order to round-up the malefactors. It is the USA Provost Marshal who is Commander-in Chief, not the President.
Residing in hotels and diplomatic residences in New York at the beginning of November 2007 were 160 high-status delegates from foreign countries waiting to take economic delivery of funds for their own countries which would be released as soon as Lee Wanta received his $4.5 trillion. They came to New York to receive these monies on Monday 5th November 2007. The fact that they were kept waiting by American banking fraud, and had to return home empty-handed, transformed the issue into an international crisis. This, rather than Iran, was the main focus of the talks which the German Chancellor Angela Merkel held with George Bush Jnr and George Bush Snr on Saturday 10th November 2007 in Crawford, Texas. The 160 international delegates returned to New York during the weekend of 19th and 20th January 2008. They then travelled to Connecticut and, at 10.00am on Thursday 24th January 2008, were sworn in en bloc at the operating location of a major trustee at a local branch of Bank of America. Thus empowered, the delegates could proceed to perform their allotted tasks under the mass settlement and refinancing schedule connected with release of the Wanta Plan funds. The penalty awaiting these international delegates, in the event of their failure to perform their duties in any respect, was arrest and immediate deportation to the World Court at The Hague (Netherlands). In this specific case, the arresting authorities acting for The World Court were Interpol and the UK's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6). No American law enforcement powers were to be involved.
Christopher Story's view was that the USA Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, had been trying to blackmail the USA Provost Marshal. In the period Monday 5th November 2007 to Saturday 10th November 2007, Paulson repeatedly disobeyed orders from the Provost Marshal to cease his illegal financial transactions. In effect, the USA Treasury Secretary was saying to the Provost Marshal: "You can't touch me, and you know it. If you arrest me, the stock market and the dollar will collapse, there will be an uncontrollable global crisis, and you will be blamed for it. So go to hell."
George Bush Senior's concealed Latin American bank accounts have now been traced and frozen by the Provost Marshal.
On Sunday 18th November 2007, it was reported that the USA Provost Marshal was allowing himself to be manipulated by the White House conspirators and was only doing half his job. The key task - the release of the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds - would only take twenty seconds. The Provost Marshal was under pressure from his political controllers to stall on this core responsibility in order to buy time for the major conspirators to assemble a cover-up. The USA Army Chief of Staff was poised to file formal charges against The Provost Marshal, Brigadier General Rodney Johnson, because he was in contravention of his oath as a commissioned officer in this matter. Other members of the USA Joint Chiefs of Staff were actively discussing this issue and were ready to urge due process. While quick to arrest many of the middle-ranking conspirators in the banks and the law firms, The Provost Marshal appeared unwilling to confront the major conspirators in any effective manner. (Late note: The Provost Marshal has now been replaced - see below). A large number of extra USA Special Forces personnel were called up for an undisclosed mission related to these events. These Special Forces units will be operational by the end of November 2007. It is likely that they will be involved in making, or supporting, high-level arrests of prominent public figures.
A probable consequence of this Wantagate scandal will be to engulf the Bush II Government in a nexus of investigations into complicity in the 911 mass murders in New York on the 11th September 2001. The cover story here had to do with a couple of hijacked passenger planes getting crashed into the World Trade Centre by Jihadist patsies. This did happen, but the permitted terrorist attacks were smoke and mirrors; subsequent studies have shown that the collisions and their consequential infernos were insufficiently energetic to raze the buildings to the ground. Something else that had been strategically positioned inside the buildings in advance did that. The Bush White House is now being associated with possessing prior executive knowledge of this controlled demolition of the WTC. For more background information about 911, see here, here, here, here and here. Both main political parties in the USA (Republicans and Democrats) have senior figures involved in the 911 cover-ups.
On the morning of Tuesday 20th November 2007, Lee Wanta and Michael Cottrell, Executive Vice President and Treasurer of Lee Wanta's Commonwealth of Virginia-based AmeriTrust Groupe, turned up, as officially instructed, at Citibank's office at 399 Park Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan, to sign the relevant documents to finalise the transfer of the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds to Lee Wanta's corporate securities account with Morgan Stanley, New York. The two men, accompanied by several others, visited the bank after the USA State Department, the USA Federal Reserve and the USA Treasury, had each separately advised, and had subsequently confirmed on Monday 19th November 2007, that the $4.5 trillion was on the books at Citibank.
Upon arrival at 399 Park Avenue on the 20th November 2007, Wanta and Cottrell asked to see William Rhodes, the Chairman of Citibank. They were told that he was away from the bank. They then asked to see William Ferguson and were told that he was not available. Richard Lava, the Securities Chief, and other Citibank officials, stated that Wanta and Cottrell had no business with Citibank.
Faced with this refusal by Citibank to implement the instructions of the USA State Department, the USA Federal Reserve and the USA Treasury, Wanta and Cottrell informed all three official parties, each of which expressed shock at the situation. Wanta and Cottrell then requested the USA Provost Marshal, Brigadier General Rodney Johnson, to come immediately to Citibank to enforce his official legal will and that of the USA State Department, the USA Federal Reserve and the USA Treasury. The USA Provost Marshal did not comply with this request and has now been replaced (see below).
The principal criminal conspirators at Citibank appear now to be William Rhodes, Robert Rubin, William Ferguson, and Richard Lava.
Shortly after the above events on the morning of Tuesday 20th November 2007, Lee Wanta, Michael Cottrell and three international diplomats holding diplomatic passports, were ordered off the Citibank premises by the owner of the building, Boston Properties. The Chief Executive Officer of Boston Properties is Edward Lynde. Armed New York Police Department personnel were summoned by Boston Properties in connection with this eviction. Boston Properties were acting on the instructions of Robert Rubin of Citibank.
It became apparent on Wednesday 21st November 2007 that there had been a major breach of established USA Constitutional practice. Several elements of the Executive Branch of the USA Federal Government were identified to have been dividing up the $1.575 trillion windfall tax payable by Lee Wanta, even though Citibank had blocked its disbursal to Wanta's securities account at Morgan Stanley. The USA Constitution provides for Congress to make appropriations, not the Executive Branch.
Citibank is now the object of a comprehensive Federal investigation. The USA Securities and Exchange Commission Code invoked is STILLPOINT. The investigation is involving more than ten responsible USA Federal agencies, including the Military. This scandal now has the potential to evolve into a full-blown American constitutional crisis which will result in the permanent closure of Citibank, Morgan Stanley and their auditors.
Christopher Story reports that de facto control of Citibank is now in the hands of British authorities representing Queen Elizabeth II of England. Major changes of personnel at the top of Citibank are underway. Four separate monitoring teams equipped with transaction-tracing packages using Inslaw/PROMIS enhanced software are now in place and active. Each of these software packages is capable of tracking financial provenances back for one hundred transactions. The software is at work twenty four hours a day investigating, tracking, tracing and logging the whereabouts of all Lee Wanta's converted, diverted, and stolen funds.
The senior Citibank official who has the authority to finalise the Wanta transfer of $4.5 trillion, and to expedite the agreed interest payment of $352 billion by means of a 60-day aval, is Catherine Weir. The Master Custodial Account involved here was originally set up by Brussels (Europe).
In the internal Citibank civil war which is now raging behind the scenes, the former USA Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin (who serves the personal financial interests of the Clintons), is actively impeding and compromising the authority of Catherine Weir. Rubin was recently installed as the temporary Chairman of Citibank.
It is understood that on Tuesday 20th November 2007, at a round-table conference in Washington DC, Michael Chertoff, the USA Secretary of Homeland Security, may have been recorded on tape explicitly demanding that Citibank refuse to pay Lee Wanta the $4.5 trillion due to him.
Upstairs at Citibank on 20th November 2007, while Lee Wanta was being evicted downstairs, George Bush Snr was engaged in an operation to transfer the Wanta Plan $4.5 trillion to bank accounts in the Middle East (thought to be in Dubai or Saudi Arabia). He was working on this with Robert Rubin. Immediately afterwards, Rubin flew to the Middle East to take economic receipt of the funds. He failed. The Inslaw/PROMIS software (mentioned above) identified the attempted transaction and the transfer was blocked.
Towards the end of November 2007, three reports from credible sources indicated that the USA Provost Marshal, Brigadier General Rodney Johnson, was dismissed and arrested (or placed under house arrest) at 5.00pm Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday 20th November 2007. The Provost Marshal was found to have been taking unlawful instructions from the USA Vice President, Dick Cheney. The Provost Marshal's Number Two was said to have taken over. The change was made by the USA Department of Defense (Internal Affairs) with International Court of Justice backing and authority. But military sources declined to confirm Johnson's reduced status and some reports indicated that he was still answering his office telephone. In the second week of December 2007, a well-sourced report from inside the banking industry (here) indicated that the USA Provost Marshal, Brigadier General Rodney Johnson, was fired on the afternoon of Thursday 6th December 2007. He had been taking unlawful instructions from both the USA President and the USA Vice President, and substantial bribes from George Bush Senior. His unlawful instructions had been given in the form of USA White House Executive Orders. Over 152 (one hundred and fifty two) different national governments around the world had protested about the Provost Marshal's blocking of Wanta and NESARA committed funds at Citibank and elsewhere. The World Court acted. Brigadier General Rodney Johnson was dismissed from his post as USA Provost Marshal by General George Casey, the USA Army Chief of Staff. In a very unusual measure, the Provost Marshal's telephone numbers have been deleted from all Federal and Military databases while the Wanta/Citibank operation continues. Multiple high-level military personnel are now performing the functions of the Provost Marshal and are operating from a number of different offices and locations.
The bribes, hush monies and fees for services rendered being disbursed by George Bush Snr to the USA Provost Marshal, and many others inside and outside the USA, were not, in most cases, handed over by him personally. The modus operandi was for George Bush Snr to close the deal verbally through an intermediary, and then get a Texan quartermaster to deliver the money. The identity of this itinerant moneyman was a closely guarded CIA secret until the beginning of January 2008, when several sources supplied pertinent information to the UK-based financial journalist, Christopher Story, and others. George Bush Snr's Texan quartermaster was Houston-based Marvin Davis. The CIA had killed and resurrected this paragon on more than one occasion. The present incarnation was thought to be working, also, for George Bush Jnr and Dick Cheney, when there was urgent largesse to be distributed. Marvin Davis was said to have historical operating connections with the Delmarva Timber Trust, Suite 110, 7333 Harwin Drive, Houston, Texas 770042. More details herehere (24.01.08), another shady bagman who sometimes distributed persuasion-money for George Bush Snr is said to be Marc Rich. Rich was one of the beneficiaries of a Bill Clinton Presidential Pardon in 2000. His American attorney is Lewis Scooter Libby, a close spiritual advisor to Dick Cheney. Marc Rich is based in Switzerland and has sometimes operated internationally under the alias of Hans Brand. (11.01.08). However, with the CIA by that stage so comprehensively penetrated by Israeli, Chinese and Russian intelligence, the identity of Marvin Davis' primary line manager was enigmatic, though he was reputed to keep meticulous records. Marvin Davis was thought, also, to operate under the codenames Marvin Bush, Joe Bush and, when dealing with BNP Paribas in France, Joe Gross. According to Tom Heneghan' blog
New ATM machines have been installed all over the USA. This was done during October and November 2007. ATMs are Automated Teller Machines (hole-in-the-wall cash dispensers). The new ATMs have replaced the older machines to accommodate the new global banking system which is being rolled out as part of the NESARA world prosperity programmes. Bank of America will shortly become the new Treasury Bank of the United States and will replace the Federal Reserve Board. The offices and buildings of the Federal Reserve Board will become branches of The USA Treasury. Bank of America now has the clearance and the capacity to operate the high-security grey screen money-wiring system. A new American gold-backed currency, possibly called the Amero, will be introduced. The USA dollar will be abolished. In order to facilitate these changes smoothly, a substantial replacement of senior staff took place at Bank of America in the last two weeks of November 2007.
At 1.12pm on Friday 30th November 2007, President George W. Bush finally decreed that Lee Wanta was to be paid his $4.5 trillion immediately. The USA Treasury Secretary, Henry M. Paulson refused to comply with the President's direction. For some time Paulson had been proclaiming at meetings that he would never pay Lee Wanta. He had also been explicitly stating that: "President Bush cannot sack me."
At this point, Henry Paulson's position became operationally untenable within the USA Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA changed sides in the dispute and demanded that Paulson procured the $4.5 trillion payment and released it for economic delivery to Lee Wanta. As USA Treasury Secretary, Paulson had sole signatory power in the matter. Henry Paulson refused to sign over the monies.
Further evidence that senior elements within the USA intelligence community had turned against the Bush White House came at the beginning of December 2007. The National Intelligence Estimate entitled: Iran: Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities was aggressively leaked to the mainstream media. The information in this November 2007 document was notified to the USA Government on the 31st October 2007. It stated: "We judge with high confidence that in fall (Autumn) 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons programme ...." This leak was particularly damaging. The Bush White House had been retailing the disinformation that Iran was a nuclear threat to the region. On the basis of this elite-led lie, the USA would have manufactured the pretext for another unnecessary war in the Middle East. Such a conflict would rally war industry stocks, create the environment for further repressive legislation to curtail individual freedoms under the expedient war-on-terror fiction, and support the control ambitions of the White House's Zionist bosses in the region.
A similar manufactured pretext had started the Iraq War in March 2003. Non-existent weapons of mass destruction were said to exist. These weapons were an occult security threat to the American homeland. In the years which followed, it became apparent that the real objectives of the Iraq War were rather different. The aims of the invasion were to stimulate American war-machine business, avoid a stockmarket crash, establish permanent American military bases in Iraq, equip local terrorist insurgencies to undermine Iraqi democratic procedures, get American hands on Iraqi oil, loot and take over the Iraqi Central Bank with its gold, and USA $ derivative papers, and to secure the interdimensional portal at the ancient Sumerian site of Entemenanki (the locality of the ziggurat of Marduk in ancient Babylon). The Iraq war was a covert business venture paid for by the blood of young American soldiers.
Between 3.00pm and 4.00pm Eastern Daylight Time on Friday 30th November 2007, a USA Federal Judge issued a writ for the immediate arrest of Henry Paulson. Several law enforcement and military special forces units scoured Washington DC and New York looking for Paulson who had gone into hiding. They found him at 4.15pm and the USA Treasury Secretary was served with the writ for his arrest. He stated to the law enforcement team who confronted him that he ".... didn’t realise that the President had authorised the Wanta payment’. He then told them that he would immediately order the release of the Wanta Plan funds from Citibank to Morgan Stanley by the Treasury Direct system. On the basis of this verbal undertaking, he was allowed to walk free. The legal instrument served in this case was probably a performance warrant. It was a court order which said: "If you do not take this prescribed action in this amount of time, you will be arrested."
By 10.00pm on Saturday 1st December 2007, no evidence was forthcoming that the $4.5 trillion payment had been made. Paulson's whereabouts were unknown and he was being actively sought by law enforcement teams, DOD Internal Affairs operatives and CIA agents. Paulson, like Robert Rubin, appeared to be on the run. This time the legal instruction was that Paulson was to be arrested if he could not provide immediate concrete documentary proof that the Wanta payment has been made. But a week or so later, both Paulson and Rubin gave every impression of acting freely again, and both were seen in public and at meetings.
At 10.00am Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday 1st December 2007, the new Basle II Global Banking System was activated. This was a core NESARA preliminary. Under the Basle II system no off-balance sheet financial operations are permitted. Every transaction must take place on-balance sheet. All banks, everywhere in the world, are required to adhere to this new rule, and others, if they are to continue trading. The major USA money centre banks came into compliance with Basle II at 2.00pm on Tuesday 4th December 2007. However, for technical accounting reasons related to Basle II, it is possible that American banks such as Citibank, Bank of America, Wachovia and JPMorganChase may very soon be bankrupt if the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds are not promptly released to Lee Wanta. The Citibank Board of Directors held an emergency meeting in New York on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th December 2007 to confront this difficulty.
On Tuesday 11th December 2007, the Citibank Board of Directors appointed Sir Win Bischoff to be their new Chairman. He replaced Robert Rubin. They also appointed Vikram Pandit to be their new Chief Executive Officer. He replaced Charles Prince. Bischoff was British; Pandit was Indian. Neither man had any experience in consumer banking. And Pandit had never before run a large public company of any kind. Robert Rubin returned to his old position as Chairman of the Citibank Executive Committee. These deckchairs were shifted less than an hour before a scheduled Citibank Board Meeting with law enforcement agents. At this meeting the Citibank Board were presented with documentary evidence of the existence, at Citibank, of a series of illegal secret accounts holding colossal sums of money. The beneficiaries were said to include George Bush Snr, George Bush Jnr, Dick Cheney, Henry Paulson, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Some Directors were unaware of the existence of these accounts, and anger was expressed. Vikram Pandit said that everything would be done to resolve the Wanta Plan funds problem very quickly, and that steps would be taken to effect the $4.5 trillion Wanta payment on Wednesday 12th December 2007. This was not done. The USA Treasury blocked the transaction. Legal papers from a Federal Judge were presented to the Citibank Board which made it clear that they must implement the Wanta Settlement payment or Citibank and its assets would be seized.
On Tuesday 11th December 2007, George Bush Snr was again detected trying to steal the Wanta funds and other monies. His intention was to transfer the funds to Bank of America, for onward transfer to Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi. The stolen funds were to have been split three ways between George Bush Snr himself, Bank of America and Iran. The assumption here was that the Bush circle had been funding Iran's support of the Al-Qaeda terrorist insurgency in Iraq. The missing monies were recovered within the space of two hours. Law enforcement agents informed George Bush Snr that if he attempted such a theft again, he would be shot dead on the spot. That this physical threat was explicitly made has been confirmed by four separate inside sources. Quite why such a Wild West approach was adopted when documentary evidence was conveniently at hand to substantiate an arrest is not clear.
During the second week of December 2007, it became apparent that warring factions within Israeli intelligence were beginning to interfere in due process at Citibank. Robert Rubin received a death-threat from one Israeli group who wanted the Wanta Plan Funds released to Lee Wanta without further delay. Post-Basle II, certain Israeli banks were on the verge of collapse if the Wanta logjam was not broken very soon. Meanwhile, another Israeli intelligence faction was also issuing death threats to Robert Rubin if he did release the Wanta Plan Funds. In December 2007, Zionist control of the USA executive was becoming ragged and scattershot. Rubin was reported to have passed on the Israeli threats to various senior colleagues at Citibank and the USA Treasury.
At 9.15am on Wednesday 19th December 2007, in Washington DC, a major fire broke out in the Eisenhower Executive Office building, located near the West Wing of the White House. The epicentre of the flames was on the second floor in the vicinity of Vice President Dick Cheney's ceremonial office. Firefighters entered the building to tackle the blaze and were seen breaking windows and removing furniture. The entire building was evacuated, including those parts well away from the fire. The Eisenhower Executive Office accommodates many of the President's senior military and security staff. The White House itself was not evacuated. No injuries were reported. Dick Cheney was safely in his West Wing office at the time. The incident carried the unmistakable hallmark of BlackOps arson. Which papers and computers associated with the Citibank scandal, if any, were destroyed in the conflagration remains to be seen. The carefully-targeted fire looked like a classic intelligence operation frightener, or a diversionary exercise to remove data. Against this, a Russian security source stated that there had been a firefight in the building between a USA military unit and a team of Secret Service Agents assigned to protect Dick Cheney. During the exchange of fire, a substantial explosion took place. A US Marine was seen to smash a fifth-floor window and had to be rescued from the ledge outside.
A third account stated that Dick Cheney had his ceremonial offices wired to act as a parallel White House. A duplicate and unlawful Emergency Alert System (EAS) was in place. The EAS is designed to enable the President of the United States to initiate an Emergency Action Notification (EAN). Here the President speaks to the people of the United States via all media links within 10 minutes of anything major happening - such as a real or fake alien invasion, or a tactical decision to impose martial law and close down public information flows and due-process media and legal scrutiny. The EAS has never been used. The fire/firefight in the Eisenhower Executive Office building destroyed Dick Cheney's parallel EAS. Subsequent security and health and safety inspections were likely to catalogue the existence of this illegal wiring.
On Friday 21st December 2007, it was reported that George Bush Snr and former President Bill Clinton had been blackmailing USA President George Bush Jnr in connection with the Citibank scandal. Also on Friday 21st December 2007, the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds were transferred out of Citibank to Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley then illegally refused to accept the funds. Lee Wanta's securities account for AmeriTrust Groupe had existed with Morgan Stanley, New York, since August 2006.
On Saturday 22nd December 2007, three senior USA administration officials were arrested and flown to The International Court of Justice in The Hague (Netherlands).
By the end of December 2007, forensic attention was shifting towards Citibank's auditors. How would they continue to rubber-stamp the concealment of the now-public hidden accounts at Citibank? Inside reports indicated that there were at least 1600 (one thousand six hundred) of these off-balance sheet slush fund accounts. These were being used to make illegal payments to lawyers, politicians and military personnel to retain their compliance in delaying the release of the Wanta Plan monies. The executive signatories to these accounts were said to be Robert Rubin and Anna Escobedo Cabral (Treasurer of the USA). These two individuals had a two-hour meeting on Friday 14th December 2007 which started at 12 noon. They each signed papers to release monies to the 1600 slush fund beneficiaries. In addition, there is another related tranche of money referred to as the Clinton/Burkle funds which is being held off-shore in the Cayman Islands. Exactly when this was transacted through Citibank is unclear. Given this increasingly public profile of due diligence at Citibank, it was being asked whether the Citibank auditors, for the first time, might be obliged to decline signing off the company's year-end and fourth quarter papers.
In the days before Christmas 2007, inside sources let it be known that one reason why the USA Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, was still in post was that nobody could be found to replace him.
Towards the end of December 2007, George Bush Snr was arrested and held in custody for at least three days. He could no longer trade, move money or access his major bank and brokerage accounts worldwide.
The 43rd President of the United States of America, George Bush Jnr, spent Christmas Day 2007 at Camp David (Maryland, USA). On returning home to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, he found a severed horse's head in his bed. The horse's head was well known to George Bush. It was severed from one of his most cherished horses, worth an estimated $350,000. At 3.04am on Thursday 27th December 2007, George Bush Jnr's childhood home in Odessa, Texas, (now a museum) was set on fire by an arsonist. It appeared that the Chinese Secret Society described by Benjamin Fulford was beginning to leave its calling cards. More details here, here and here. An alternative security reading was that the horse's head, at least, was placed in the President’s bed on the instructions of Russian intelligence. Russia, like China, is one of the major countries which wants immediate release of The Wanta Plan Funds and the NESARA global prosperity funds. George Bush Snr, George Bush Jnr and Henry Paulson had been obstructing these disbursements.
At the end of December 2007, Kommersant News Service and Komsomoskaya Pravda (a Russian intelligence outlet) reported that three Armenians armed with knives, pistols and a sabre were detained on Sunday 23rd December 2007 near the residence of the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Novo-Ogarevo. Under interrogation, the Armenians revealed that they were paid mercenaries of British MI5. They had in their possession travel documents linking them to a recent visit to the Vatican where, they said, they had been paid more than one million USA dollars for their mission to assassinate the Russian President.
On or around Friday 28th December 2007, Henry Paulson, the USA Treasury Secretary, was shot at close range in the chest, by an assassin. He was reported to be in a critical condition. On Tuesday 1st January 2008, Paulson was still alive, but with the bullet still lodged in his chest. He was too weak to be operated upon. Henry Paulson died on Wednesday 2nd January 2008. During 2007, Paulson had illegally conveyed substantial sums of money to Israel. The Bank of Israel was thought to be involved, and Henry Paulson's account there was thought likely to bear his Hebrew, rather than his American, name. At this point, like the American CIA, the Israeli intelligence community was in a state of internal civil war as to how best to manage the Citibank / Wanta / NESARA affair.At this stage, the Bush White House was said to be preparing an attempt to represent Henry Paulson's assassination as a heart attack. Other heart attacks were expected.
On Thursday 3rd January 2008, President George Bush Jnr was confronted verbally with the death of Henry Paulson at a meeting.
"That's a lie," Bush responded.
"Well, produce him."
"I can't, he's sick."
"Yes, dead men are usually sick before they die."
"Can you produce the five Cheney assistants who have been shot?"
"No."
The word in Washington DC was that Henry Paulson had been quietly cremated in an attempt to conceal the nature of his injuries and the manner of his death. More details here. And more details about the Henry Paulson assassination and the PsyOps background to its public management by the USA Executive Branch can be found here (09.01.08) and here (14.02.08).
On various occasions during the last week of December 2007 and the first two weeks of January 2008, the USA State Department and USA Treasury Compliance confirmed Henry Paulson's shooting.
A complicating factor for PsyOps analysts was that three of the Camp David George Bush Jnr clones were in active play at this time: Bush 41, Bush 42 and Bush 43. American clone-handlers took one or two of these mannekens to the Middle East for the USA State visit to Israel in the second week of January 2008. The other(s) remained in the USA. Follow the DNA. It's there in the lavatories, the handkerchiefs, the discarded nasal tissues, the cosmetics applicators, the bedroom dust, the cutlery, the drinking glasses and the coffee cups.
In the second week of January 2008, the whereabouts of Henry Paulson's Number Two, Robert Kimmitt, the USA Deputy Treasury Secretary, began to be questioned. Has anyone seen him recently? Pictures here and here. Or did he, too, forget to duck? More information please.Late note: Henry Paulson was assassinated by a Russian special operations unit, whose security colleagues had also put the severed horse's head in George Bush's bed at Crawford. By the weekend of 5th / 6th January 2008, the Bush White House had taken a tactical decision to pretend that Henry Paulson was not dead, and to prosecute this pretence in the media. A combination of library video footage, computer-generated imagery, holographic projection techniques, Paulson clones, and an articulate financial lookalike called Edward Lazear would be used to sustain the fiction of Henry Paulson's continued public presence.
One of the five Cheney assistants who were assassinated met his death on Saturday 29th December 2007. He was in his mid-forties and was a close aide of the American Vice President. The aide was shot at close range in the chest, and died. More details here.
It was reported that a list of 127 (one hundred and twenty seven) senior people in the USA had been targeted for assassination. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security were said to feature towards the top of that list. A second, separate, list of assassination targets applicable to European perpetrators of financial theft was also said to exist.
Late on Monday 7th January 2008, USA President George Bush Jnr made a final attempt to block the NESARA world prosperity programme disbursements. In response, on Tuesday 8th January 2008, the Global Basel II Banking authorities, China and other nations and international bodies, ordered the closing and lock down of all USA banks which had signed onto the new Basel II Global Banking system. Citibank was ordered to pay the $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds to Lee Wanta on Tuesday 8th January 2008 or be permanently closed down. Robert Rubin of Citibank and President George Bush Jnr manufactured further delays. The $4.5 trillion Wanta Plan funds were not paid to Lee Wanta. Shortly before 2.12pm on Tuesday 8th January 2008, Citibank was issued with a closure order, and its assets and gold were seized. Rightly or wrongly, among informed international banking professionals, Citibank had come to be seen as an Enron-style fake money mule run by thieves, treasoners and Zionist sock puppets. A radical reorganisation and redistribution of Citibank's personnel, plant and assets was underway. A similar reorganisation was reported to be imminent at Bank of America. In each case it was the home office and top management people who were being culled. The management teams below them had been kept expediently unaware of the high end corruption.
Bank of America had been an active player in moving large tranches of stolen money to offshore accounts. The beneficiaries of these accounts included George Bush Jnr and Henry Paulson.
On Tuesday 8th January 2008, USA President George Bush Jnr was informed that he would not be able to access his personal stolen funds in Israel, Dubai and two other Middle East locations. To engineer access to these accounts was the primary purpose of his projected trip to the region that week. The trillions of dollars of personal stolen funds referred to here were mostly held in Henry Paulson's name in Israel and in Laura Bush's name in Dubai.
Back in the USA, by the end of the second week of January 2008, China was in control of all major American banking operations, and was quietly taking firesale stakes in strategic places such as Citibank. China now owned America. This was the de facto achievement of nineteen years of Bush-Clinton-Bush stewardship of The American Dream. They had sold America abroad and were left holding nothing but handfuls of fiat paper, hundreds of thousands of foreclosure notices and millions of war dead.
On Sunday 13th January 2008, Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, visited the Middle East for his third trip to the area in three weeks. He was in the region at the same time as George Bush Jnr. Sarkozy's points of call on this occasion were Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Ostensibly, his visit was to sign papers in connection with a French contract to build nuclear reactors in UAE, and to continue bilateral talks on terrorism, the Iraq war, and the establishment of a 500-man French naval base in Abu Dhabi. The hidden agenda was to solicit funds to prop up failing French banks, said to include BNP Paribas, Société Générale and Banque Saudi Fransi. He was also in the region in a last attempt to access some of his own private money which had become entangled in machinations surrounding the Citibank/Wanta crisis. In early January 2008, Nicolas Sarkozy had attempted to administer the economic receipt of a sum totalling $44 trillion under cover of the disinformation fog surrounding the Henry Paulson assassination. The money was wired from Citibank (New York) to BNP Paribas (Paris) and was partially derived from stealth trades based on the Wanta Plan Funds. This illegal transfer of funds was detected and blocked. Prior to this attempted transaction, eight BNP Paribas senior management people had been arrested and charged with banking irregularities connected with the Citibank scandal.
Events began to move swiftly in the USA on Wednesday 16th January 2007. More than one hundred and fifty (150) further bankers were arrested. Another one thousand five hundred (1500) arrests of bankers were expected to follow very soon. Many of those taken away were from Citibank and Bank of America. The USA Banking Commission orchestrated the arrests. Dubai was providing funds to the CIA and the USA Navy for expenses associated with the banker arrest programme. Embezzlement at Bank of America had led to multiple external audits involving 2400 (two thousand four hundred) pink slips. Strong advice was being given by financial advisors to customers to pull all money out of Bank of America immediately; Bank of America stock should be sold, and pensions funds should be liquidated. Citibank cancelled all outstanding lines of credit to its customers. The World Court said that China now owned 61% of Citibank. The International Monetary Fund threatened an immediate worldwide embargo against China if the NESARA-related banking packages were not sent out immediately. The World Court ordered China to pay a 150% penalty on a $3 trillion sum it had illegally sequestered. Japan was actively competing with China and Dubai in making behind-the-scenes offers to buy failing USA banks, in particular Bank of America. Precious metals prices were about to be frozen. The USA stockmarket was expected to be closed at any moment, to avoid a Northern Rock-style run on banks and bank stocks. There was a suggestion that Brussels (Europe) was providing operating expenses for the USA Treasury. Public announcements about all this were about to be made soon, including disclosures of treason by USA Executive Branch officials in connection with the 911 planned demolition and mass murder at the World Trade Centre (New York) in September 2001.
The USA Federal Reserve domestic wire transfer system was not working on the afternoon of Wednesday 16th January 2008, or during the morning and early afternoon of Thursday 17th January 2008, and the telephone at the Wire Department of the Federal Reserve was not being answered. The Federal Reserve wire transfer system was restored to normal functionality at 3.00pm on the 17th January.
On or around Friday 18th January 2007, a prominent Roman Catholic called John Glover Roberts, the seventeenth Chief Justice of the USA, said that the NESARA global prosperity packages would "never be delivered". Roberts was holding the packages illegally in the vaults of the USA Supreme Court in Washington DC. His stance was thought to be supported by the Vatican in Rome and by the Crown Temple in London. Ranged against him were Rothschild Europe, Brussels Europe, Putin Russia, most of the major Chinese power factions, India, and more than one hundred other national governments. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) went to law against the USA Supreme Court. The global prosperity packages were released by Roberts and left the Supreme Court at 10.00am on Sunday 20th January 2008.
On Friday 18th January 2008, information emerged from banking insiders that, decades ago, the USA government had covertly supplied the Chinese government with a set of USA Treasury Currency Plates. With these, the Chinese were given the right to print the USA currency themselves (dollar bills) in amounts dependent upon (and as a percentage of) currency increases printed by the USA Treasury. The banknote paper used for these dollar bills is 75% percent cotton and 25% percent linen, produced on Fourdrinier papermaking machines. The Chinese process this paper into dollar bills using Intaglio printing presses, manufactured by KBA Giori (Wuerzburg, Germany). In China, in January 2008, there were retention centre warehouses filled full with high-denomination dollar bills, shrink-wrapped on pallets, waiting for distribution. One of the outlets for the Chinese-manufactured USA dollar bills is Bureau 39 in North Korea. From here, the counterfeit dollars are secreted into Europe through the Golden Star Bank in Vienna (Austria). The Executive Branch of the USA Government also allows the USA's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to manufacture off-the-record dollar bills illegally. This is done at a concealed printing facility north of Washington DC.
During the third week of January 2008, it became apparent that there were serious problems at the World Bank in Washington DC. On Wednesday 17th January 2008, Suzanne Rich-Folsom, Head of the World Bank's anti-corruption unit, the Department of Institutional Integrity (INT), resigned. So did her two top deputies, Glenn Ware and Allison Brigati. She and her colleagues had been frozen out by the World Bank President, Robert Zoellick, who, with other senior bureaucrats at the World Bank, had contrived to undermine the work of the INT over several months. Under the leadership of Suzanne Rich-Folsom, the World Bank INT had recently completed a devastating report on $569 million worth of corrupted bank projects in India. An alternative reading of Rich-Folsom's departure from the World Bank can be found here (16.01.08).
Late on Thursday 18th January 2008, there was a bomb scare at The World Bank. A bomb threat had been received by telephone. As a consequence, all seven World Bank buildings in Washington DC, and all 8,000 World Bank workers, were evacuated. The seven buildings were then kept closed for the following four days. It was the most effective bomb threat in human history. Exactly which computers, documents and data were abstracted from the empty buildings during this time, and by whom, remains to be discovered. More information please.
On Thursday 24th January 2008, it was announced in Washington that The Turd That Won't Flush had broken surface again. Paul Wolfowitz, who was forced to resign as President of the World Bank in May 2007, had been found a sinecure. The USA Department of State appointed Wolfowitz to be Chairman of the Secretary of State’s International Security Advisory Board (ISAB). The press release did not say whether Paul Wolfowitz's partner, Shaha Ali Riza, had been appointed Minuting Secretary.
By the fourth week of January 2008, the USA Federal Reserve Board was under strict instructions from the global financial authorities not to let the American stockmarket crash as the Bush White House wished. One of the Bush-Cheney endgame scenarios at this time was to crash the markets deliberately, declare martial law, and clean up with bank, property, land, data and gold grabs. In contradistinction, the Federal Reserve was charged with the task of holding the markets steady until the new Global Banking System was fully in place and fully funded. In this connection, on Tuesday 22nd January 2008, the Fed announced an unscheduled, emergency interest-rate reduction of three-quarters of a percentage point, bringing its key lending rate down from 4.25% to 3.5%. It was the most aggressive one-time cut in more than two decades, and brought a semblance of stability to volatile and nervous international markets. A week later, at a scheduled meeting on Wednesday 30th January 2008, the Fed reduced its lending rate by a further half of a percentage point, from 3.5% to 3.0%. "The Fed looks foolish. It seems they're afraid of the market," said David Greenwald, a partner at Scalene Capital Management (California, USA).
What the Fed did not know at the time it took its 22.01.08 decision, was what was happening at Société Générale's HQ in Paris. The French bank said that it had discovered a Nick Leeson-style rogue trader. Leeson had brought about the collapse of Barings Bank (UK) in 1995. But at SocGen, the rogue trading was on a much larger scale. A thirty one year-old equity derivatives trader, Jérôme Kerviel, was blamed for losing the bank €4.9 billion in a fortnight. He was trading futures on European share indices. In fact, Kerviel lost the bank about €1.5 billion; the SocGen Board themselves lost the other €3.4 billion as they panicked and prematurely unwound Kerviel's positions into a down-spiking market on Monday 21st January 2008. Had they waited two or three days until the markets bounced and stabilised, most of the losses could have been avoided. The SocGen Board was jinxed by the perception that the total value of Kerviel's trading positions at that time (€50 billion) was 43% greater than the market capitalisation of the entire bank (€35 billion). SocGen Internal Audit and Compliance had not spotted this until it was too late. Perhaps they should be selling onions in Montmartre. Daniel Bouton, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Société Générale was bouncing off walls trying to deal with a crisis which was beyond his ability to comprehend. He was expected to be discarded by SocGen within five or six months. Christine Lagarde, the French Finance Minister, was unambiguous in her view: "Certain internal control mechanisms at Société Générale did not work and those that did were not always followed up with the appropriate changes." Jérôme Kerviel said: "I accept my share of responsibility but I will not be made a scapegoat for Société Générale." Separate from the Kerviel affair, Société Générale was already facing a major money-laundering fraud case in the courts and is now thought likely to be broken up or taken over. Charts of SocGen's share price movements can be found here and here. A possible course in the current climate would be to sell off SocGen's investment banking division to someone like Crédit Agricole or, further afield, to the Qatar Investment Authority which is developing a predatory interest in distressed European banks. There is some derivative speculation that Jérôme Kerviel may be associated with the Sarkozy trading circle operating in and around BNP Paribas, Société Générale and Banque Saudi Fransi. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, visited Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the middle of January 2008.
On Wednesday 23rd January 2008, an attempt was made at BNP Paribas in Paris to frustrate the release of The Wanta Plan funds. President Nicolas Sarkozy was said to be the prime mover behind this obstruction of due process. On Thursday 24th January 2008, BNP Paribas was ordered by the World Court to release a related and enabling tranche of funds to the attorney of one of the major USA trustees, or the bank and its assets would be seized by the World Court. A further delay was engineered by BNP Paribas, placing the bank in contempt of the World Court. When this became known to the BNP Paribas Board, they finally caved in, defied the wishes of Nicolas Sarkozy to manufacture more retarding frictions, and released the due monies to the USA trustee.
Citibank began to run out of liquid cash in the middle of December 2007. It introduced a cap on the amount of money which could be withdrawn by personal customers from its ATMs. Some account holders in New York had their normal cash withdrawal limits halved without consultation or prior notification. The cover story put out by Citibank claimed that the New York Citibank ATM system had been hacked into and was the object of ongoing fraudulent activity. Then, at the beginning of February 2008, the internet bank Egg, a Citigroup subsidiary in the UK, announced that it would be withdrawing credit cards from 161,000 customers who, it said, posed an unacceptably high risk. Egg wrote to these account holders giving them 35 days notice of closure. Subsequent research by the BBC in London indicated that many of the Egg customers concerned were not high risk at all; they simply did not use their credit cards much or kept their payments up-to-date, and their accounts in the black. On Friday 15th February 2008, Citigroup moved to stop investors withdrawing their money from one of their London-based hedge funds called Corporate Special Opportunities Partners. Panic selling had seen investors pulling out more than 30% of the fund's $500 million assets. Citigroup suspended all redemptions with immediate effect. In January 2008, Citigroup had injected an emergency $100 million into CSOP to stabilise it. The hedge fund specialised in corporate debt. In January 2008, John Pickett, CSOP's long-term manager, had left the hedge fund after a dispute with senior Citigroup executives.
In America, by the end of Friday 15th February 2008, The Wanta Plan funds had still not been received by Lee Wanta from Citibank and Morgan Stanley. An informed back-of-an-envelope calculation indicated that in addition to the primary agreed sum of $4.5 trillion, as much as a further $2.0 trillion could now to be due from Citibank. This latter sum would be the total penalty interest payable by Citibank, on the basis of compounded overnight interest rates, under Article 4A-305 of the Universal Commercial Code concerning liability for late or improper execution, and/or failure to execute a payment order.
By the end of January 2008, in excess of six thousand corrupt banksters, accountants, corporate lawyers and ICT moneymovers had been arrested across the world. In the power vacuum left behind at the banks and financial institutions concerned, people were changing sides by the hour, and the resistance to the new Global Banking changes was diminishing exponentially.
At the end of January 2008, it became apparent to the Bush White House that as a result of their obstruction and serial sabotage of banking procedures connected with the Wanta Plan Funds disbursements, and the release of the NESARA-related global prosperity bank packages, the USA-Israel coalition had lost the Middle East and its oil. The region's oil producers, acting in concert, were quietly poised to ditch the USA dollar and denominate their oil sales in Euros (initially) and then in the new Gulf Cooperation Council monetary union single currency. This was originally planned for introduction in 2010 but because of the USA's banking sabotage, was being brought forward. The financial culture change in the Middle East sounded the final death knell for the USA dollar. The pain for the Bush White House was sharpened by advanced plans for the establishment, in February 2008, of the new Iranian Oil Bourse. This would actively trade supertankers full of petroleum in non-dollar currencies. A decision was taken by the USA and Israel to destroy the Middle East's internet access. At the end of January and beginning of February 2008, USA-Israeli BlackOps units moved in and cut eight or more major undersea internet cables in the region, crashing global internet access for the Middle East’s banking centres in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Iran, UAE, Turkey and Kuwait. Israel was unaffected by the sabotage. The deliberate severing of these cables immediately denied Gulf Cooperation Council members access to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), based in Brussels. This network carries thirteen million encrypted data instructions a day to do with international transfers of money between banks.
Initially it was thought that the first two or three internet cable severances might be caused by Earth changes. Tectonic plate movements in the region were pulling open stretch zones around the Arabian Plate. Some of the internet cables ran over these zones and might not have been provided with sufficient slack to compensate. But as the number of cable severances mounted in different places in the space of a few days, and as the selective protection of Israel's internet access became apparent, it was clear that a programme of deliberate and coordinated sabotage was under way. Russia recognised this immediately. President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian Air Force to take action to protect Russian access to vital undersea internet cables in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. Major aerial exercises involving Tupolev Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombing groups were initiated, and MiG-31 and Su-27 fighters were sent to the area.
In the USA, auditors were busy with their calculators. It became apparent that the officially announced book losses on USA mortgage bonds had been under-estimated by a factor of ten. The total of all USA dollar-based mortgage bonds was $8.4 trillion. Prime mortgages within this accounted for $7 trillion; subprime mortgages accounted for $1.4 trillion. In 2007, the AAA prime mortgage bond index lost 30% of its value ($2.1 trillion), and the BBB subprime mortgage bond index lost 80% of its value ($1.1). Total bond losses were $3.2 trillion. The question was put: How can you lose $3.2 trillion in a $14 trillion national economy? The answer was given: Theft.
By the first week of February 2008, most major American banks were capital impaired. They were borrowing at a rate unprecedented in financial history. And the small amount of capital which the banks did have was being quickly depleted. USA banks were being obliged by circumstances to borrow reserves from the Fed just in order to keep lending. $850 million in high-yield debt was issued for January 2008; a year previously, in January 2007, that figure was $8.5 billion - ten times larger.
The Sovereign Funds in the new cash-rich economies were beginning to have second thoughts about bailing out busted banks in the USA. The $7.5 billion loan to Citibank in November 2007 was made simply to protect Dubai's prior investments in the bank from outright collapse. Citibank agreed to pay the Sovereign Fund of Dubai 11% for the lifeline. This looked like silly money. What interest rate would Citibank have to charge its customers to meet the consequential overheads and pay back the loan? Citibank sold mandatory convertible securities which pay a fixed coupon of 11% percent. In November 2007, 11% was 1.6% above the average yield on American junk bonds. What had once been the world's largest bank had finally flushed due diligence down the pan.
Worldwide, the list of distressed banks and financial institutions was increasing. Those said to be in very serious trouble included Northern Rock, Paragon, Bradford & Bingley, Alliance & Leicester, Barclays Capital, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Fortis, ING, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Bank of America, Citibank, Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns, New York Mellon, Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, American Express, Washington Mutual, Countrywide, ACA Capital, Ambac Financial, MBIA, FGIC, XLCA, Nuveen, SunTrust, Westpac, Al Rajhi, Banque Saudi Fransi, Bank of Israel, Leumi, Hapoalim, Bank of China, ICBC, Japan Post and Sumitomo Mitsui.
The focus of the American financial crisis moved to the Finance Ministers' G8/G10 meeting in Tokyo (Japan) over the weekend Friday 8th February - Monday 11th February 2008. Infuriated by the Bush White House's continued blocking of the Wanta Plan Funds and the NESARA global prosperity disbursements, and enraged by American-Israeli sabotage of at least eight submarine internet cables to delay these disbursements, the rest of the planet gave a stark ultimatum to Bush America. If the funds were not released by 12.00 noon Eastern Daylight Time in the USA on Monday 11th February 2008, all USA military and commercial aircraft would be denied landing rights or facilities in all major G10 and OPEC countries. A complete worldwide blockage of all oil and energy deliveries to the USA would be rigorously enforced with immediate effect. OPEC/GCC would cease to trade oil in USA dollars. All international banking operations applicable to USA banks and to the branches and subsidiaries of USA banks would be impeded and closed down. All wire transfer servicing of USA payment and receipt transactions would be blocked; the USA would be unable to transfer or receive funds to or from most of the developed world. This package of sanctions was to be actioned and, if the funds were not released, would be announced publicly. International banking transactions and major world stockmarkets would be closed down, pending further developments.
Separate from this ultimatum was the implementation of pan-global legal measures against the USA and its administration. On Friday 8th February 2008, The World Court in The Hague ruled that the USA Supreme Court was acting in open contempt of the International Court of Justice. In the event of the Wanta Plan and NESARA funds not being released by the Bush White House by 12.00 noon EDT on Monday 11th February 2008, papers were prepared and held ready to be served for the arrests of George Bush Jnr, Dick Cheney, the USA Cabinet, the USA Congress and all members of the USA Supreme Court on multiple charges of Treason.
A further sixty (60) mobsters, banksters and their agents were arrested on Thursday 7th February 2008 in Washington, New York, New Jersey and Sicily. These were long-term criminal associates of Bush-Cheney-Clinton.
In the early hours of Saturday 9th February 2008, Russian warplanes buzzed the USS Nimitz battle group as it neared the coast of Japan for a long-planned friendship visit. Four Tu-95 Bear bombers from the Ukrainka air base at Svobodny, Amur Oblast, were involved. Two of the planes headed straight for the Nimitz. One of them dropped to about 610 meters, flew almost directly over the aircraft carrier and then turned and buzzed it for a second time. The other bombers continued to circle the carrier group at a range of 91km. On Sunday 10th February 2008, two American Navy vessels attempting to berth in Japan, were turned away from port and ordered out of Japanese waters. At the same time in international waters off Saudi Arabia, four oil tankers headed for the USA with Saudi oil on board were directed to stay put and proceed no further. At some time after 12.00 noon EDT on Monday 11th February 2008, the tankers were instructed to return to Saudi Arabia because the fund releases had not been actioned on schedule by the USA.
On Monday morning, 11th February 2008, President George Bush Jnr started grounding USA aircraft carrying USA politicians, Cabinet officials, and USA Supreme Court Justices in reaction to the arrest warrants which were in circulation for service on all of them.
By this stage, the USA military had sided with the World Court and the American Constitution against the Bush White House and its co-conspirators in Congress and the Supreme Court.
Late on Monday 11th February 2008, the USA Treasury's secure computer network was hacked into by cyber-specialists of USA domestic origin, thought to be working for one of the rogue elements within the CIA. A data crisis ensued which lasted several hours. Since the summer of 2007, the CIA had become a seriously fragmented and destablising influence in American polity worldwide. It had been comprehensively penetrated by Israeli, Chinese and Russian intelligence and there were turf wars being fought on nearly every corridor at Langley. The CIA Director, Michael Hayden, was said by in-house proctologists to be so far up himself with retentive panic that they were openly laughing about his discomfort over coffee. It was proving difficult to run a coherent national intelligence programme in the absence of a coherent national government. Hayden was in envy, in this regard, of the operational focus of Israel, China and Russia. But who he was working for was not in doubt.
On Tuesday 12th February 2008, the USA Supreme Court decoupled its operations from the Bush White House for the first time. The G10/OPEC/GCC-led international legal community comprehensively imposed the planned worldwide airlines, oil and banking sanctions against the USA at 6.00pm EDT. The NESARA banking packages left the vaults of the Supreme Court at 6.01pm EDT. There was to be no sanctions relief for the USA until all the packages had been delivered to, and received by, the due recipients. Public announcements would be made about the significance of the NESARA banking packages once they had been received. The Wanta Plan funds would be released for economic receipt by Lee Wanta at the same time as the NESARA announcements were made.
A meeting of the USA Supreme Court and other officials on Wednesday 13th February 2008 voted on the record against the actions of President George Bush Jnr and ordered him to release the Wanta Plan funds and the NESARA banking packages. Bush signed the release papers but then, for the sixth time, "changed his mind" and defied his legal instructions. These six sets of papers have been copied to legal authorities and others around the world and lie available on the file.
Persistent rumours about George Bush Jnr's intended resignation from the USA Presidency by Friday 15th February 2008 were being orchestrated and energised from Vice President Dick Cheney's office four or five days in advance of this date. One cover story being prepared was that Bush had become mentally unstable and for reasons of human compassion and national security would very soon need to be removed to hospital to deal with his heart problem. In this he would follow the examples of Henry Paulson, Kenneth Lay and Ariel Sharon before him. The Presidential resignation did not materialise on the 15th February 2008, and George Bush Jnr flew to Africa for a week-long visit after holding talks at the White House with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
By the middle of February 2008, American local government was being ground down by the corporate banking crisis. One of the effects of the collapse of the securitization markets was that local governments and public institutions were facing sharply increasing interest costs as they attempted to sell bonds and other securities to maintain their day-to-day operating liquidity. This was impacting many ordinary public bodies such as museums, hospitals and water-treatment utilities. The $330 billion municipal bond market for auction-rate securities was grinding to a halt through lack of buyers. Between Tuesday 12th and Friday 15th February 2008, one thousand of these auctions failed. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey found that its costs had quadrupled, and was having to pay 20% on its debt. The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art was paying 15%. These numbers compared unfavourably with those of the Federal Reserve Board announced three weeks earlier. Working, it seemed, from a parallel universe, the Fed had reduced its key lending rate from 4.25% to 3.00%. Eliot Spitzer, the Governor of New York, warned the monoline bond insurers to find substantial amounts of new capital within days, or face the prospect of the state stripping them of their municipal bond businesses and selling them to Warren Buffett or a Sovereign Wealth Fund. An action of this kind would sound the death knell for monoline insurers such as FGIC, Ambac and MBIA. They would have nothing left in the back office but Collateralized Debt Obligations and fifty seven varieties of yesterday's worthless paper. At the end of September 2007, FGIC insured $31 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $28 billion of Collateralized Debt Obligations. FGIC lost its triple-A credit rating from both Standard & Poor's and FitchRatings at the beginning of February 2008. This was followed, on the 14th February 2008, by the decision by Moody's Investors Service to cut FGIC's AAA insurer financial strength rating by six notches to A3, the seventh-highest investment grade rating. It also cut parent company FGIC Corp's senior debt rating from Aa2 to Ba1 (the highest junk level).
As the USA banking crisis reached its violent tipping point in the second and third weeks of February 2008, a number of individuals on the law enforcement and information-flow side were given special security protection. Some of this protection was from terrestrial sources (Europe and China, in particular) and some was organised by the Higher Evolution.
Related to the overclass corruption shakeout in the USA was increased activity at several major USA military bases. In Anchorage, Alaska, the Elmendorf Air Force Base and the Fort Richardson army base were particularly busy. There were various reasons for this (reviewed here). One concerned the existence deep below Elmendorf AFB of extensive cave and tunnel systems, some of which were in terrestrial use by military and covert agencies of the USA government. One of the end-game scenarios elaborated by international law enforcement was to allow the Bush-Cheney-Clinton cabal to discover an open back door in Washington DC, just before their arrests for Treason, so that they could "run away". That back door would lead to the bunkers at Anchorage. Another prepared back door was thought to be African in shape. Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia were on Bush's itinerary during his week-long trip to the continent starting on Friday 15th February 2008. Numerous run away options were possible there. Meanwhile, after mainstream media briefings in Washington, the long-prepared replacement USA government would be installed, new Presidential elections would be initiated and the NESARAclone-handlers would be retrieved from their dens in Alaska or Africa and would be processed legally in Blighty or moved off-planet. announcements would be made. A week or two later, when things had settled down, Bush-Clinton-Cheney and their
On the morning of Saturday 16th February 2008, the Yahoo website news page briefly carried a newsflash which read: "Bush cabinet arrested." Attorneys acting for each of the fifteen USA cabinet secretaries were then reported to have been fired by President George Bush Jnr, who was in Africa. Trillions of USA dollars were discovered to have been stolen from the Wanta Plan and NESARA funds in recent days. These monies were located and restored by the USA Supreme Court and its international agents, with substantive positive energy being supplied by the fifteen sacked attorneys. A resignation letter signed in the middle of February 2008, by George Bush Jnr, the 43rd President of the United States of America, was on the cusp of being accepted by the USA Supreme Court. This acceptance was thought likely to be followed by the arrest of the entire Bush cabinet on treason charges. Timing and international news management was being discussed. The Wanta Plan and NESARA funds were thought to be ready for release, delivery and economic receipt by the end of Tuesday 19th February 2008. The NESARA-designated temporary replacement USA administration was briefed and ready to take over. This was said to include Dennis Kucinich (Democrat - Ohio), among others. The current USA Presidential election campaign would be cancelled. In six months' time, after the abolition of the Federal Reserve Board, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Homeland Security, Patriot Acts I and 2, and the restitution of the lawful USA Constitution, new USA elections would be held.
In Europe, on Sunday 17th February 2008, the BBC reported that the distressed UK bank, Northern Rock, had finally gone under as an independent entity. After months of consultations, no private business consortium had come up with an offer for the bank which could satisfy the UK Government. Northern Rock was nationalised. It was a complete financial disaster for the City of London and a political disaster for the Labour Government. The upshot was that UK taxpayers were now subsidising the bank in loans and guarantees to other lenders to the tune of £55 billion. The decision was a body-blow to the bank's shareholders who, in the short term, would receive next-to-nothing for their shares.
Various USA prisons and military holding facilities were being emptied of deportable Mexican residents and others. It was said that this was being done to make room for the expected new intake of long-term financial corruption prisoners who would soon be filling up American jails as a consequence of the Citibank Wanta Plan funds theft. The criminal overclass of USA government and banking was expected to change address.
