no train wreck, just folks trying to understand this investment from articles....never going to happen. The Tony's and Okies of the world scared everyone with a brain into thinking they could actually follow this investment by reading every article and trying to guage the timing. Most of these articles regarding the revalue directly are pure smoke and silliness. The lower denoms are printed and in the banks now. These 50k and 100k note articles are just bunk. NO ONE HAS BEEN PAID IN MONTHS, everyone is waiting on the budget to be opened, and when it is, voila a new value and everyone will be happy. The rest of this is just to keep newshounds busy sniffing around at dirt.

you people would believe anything....lol. Just to make you understand the real reality....read Milliondays news from last night.

Hence the JADE HELM PROGRAM. . . . You can look it up on YouTube. Very, very Insidious. Get ready folks !

***/// ... and he's done a swell job of purging many Military Commanders who disagree with his dictatorship so the ones left would almost certainly blindly follow his orders to attack the people and The Republic he so reviles.

I don't want to be pessimistic about the RV happening, but it seems that it is looking less and less likely every day. http://www.ammoland.com/2015/05/what-the-fall-of-ramadi-means/#axzz3bG9di9KO USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The fall of Ramadi, capital of Anbar, largest province in Iraq, after a rout of the Iraqi army by a few hundred ISIS fighters using bomb-laden trucks, represents a stunning setback for U.S. policy. When President Obama declared that we shall “degrade and defeat” the Islamic State, he willed the ends, but not the means. The retreat from Ramadi makes clear that the Iraqi army, even backed by 3,000 U.S. troops, cannot drive ISIS out of Anbar and Mosul and back into Syria. Baghdad cannot alone reunite Iraq. Republicans are almost gleeful in charging that Obama’s withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq created the vacuum the Islamic State has now filled. Blaming Obama for ISIS in Iraq is shaping up to be the 2016 GOP attack line. But when it comes to the critical question — do Republicans favor reintroducing U.S. ground troops to retake Ramadi and Mosul and drive ISIS back into Syria? — no credible GOP presidential candidate is clamoring for a return to Mesopotamia. None of the mice wants to bell that particular cat. Yet, absent American leadership and U.S. troops, who is going to expel the Islamic State? The only forces in Iraq able to attempt that are the Shiite militias whose sectarian barbarity is exceeded only by that of ISIS itself. For the Sunnis of Anbar to be liberated by Shiite militias is like the Catholic Poles being liberated by the Red Army in 1945. Many Sunnis fear a rescue by Shiite militias more than they do the domination of the Islamic State. America’s choices in Iraq, none good, come down to these: One: Reintroduce 10,000 ground troops and Marines to retake Ramadi and Anbar, and thousands more to retake Mosul and cleanse Iraq of ISIS. Another surge, like 2007.Yet that does not solve the problem of the Islamic State, which would retreat to Syria and wait for the Americans to leave Iraq again. Two: Adopt a policy of degrade-and-contain by continuing air strikes on the Islamic State in Iraq, while training and backing the Iraqi army and Kurds in keeping ISIS out of Baghdad and Irbil. Three: Accept the inevitable — that the Shiite-led Iraq we created by dethroning Saddam and smashing his Baathist state and army is going to be in the orbit of Iran. For we cannot now, without a major and indefinite reintroduction of U.S. forces, alter the existing balance of military and political power in Iraq. Before the United States replicates the epochal blunder Bush II and the neocons committed, we should look hard at the realities of Iraq and the region, as we failed to do before we invaded. The relevant realities are these. First, the Iraqis are incapable of reuniting and pacifying their country themselves. To hold Iraq together and keep it out of Iran’s sphere would require a large and indefinite presence of U.S. forces. How much more American blood and treasure is that worth? Second, while the reintroduction of U.S. ground forces may be cheered by our Western allies, no NATO troops will be there beside us. As far as the West is concerned, Iraq is America’s problem. Nor will the Turks, Jordanians, Saudis or Gulf Arabs be sending troops to fight ISIS in Iraq or Syria. For them, the greater long-term dangers are: Iran, Hezbollah, Bashar Assad’s Syria, Shiite Baghdad, and the Houthi rebels of Yemen, the so-called Shiite Crescent. Another reality is that neither Syria, nor Iraq, nor Libya, nor Yemen is likely, soon, to be brought together as a unified nation-state under a government supported by a great majority of its people. Any regimes that rise in the capitals of these four nations seem certain to be seen by a significant slice of the population as illegitimate, and valid targets for revolutionary violence. The Middle East is becoming a basket of failed states. And as we look around that region, every country is looking out for No. 1. The Turks looked the other way as volunteers entered Syria to join ISIS. The Turks then let Kurds cross into Syria to keep ISIS out of Kobane. Now, according to Assad, the Turks are aiding al-Qaida (the Nusra Front) in establishing its own caliphate in Idlib. The Saudis and Gulf Arabs also, says Assad, aided the Nusra Front in taking Idlib. And what of us? Considering the millions of dead, wounded, uprooted, homeless, sick and suffering, American-born and native-born, have our wars and bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen been, on balance, more a blessing than a curse to the people we went to help? Before we plunge back into these Middle East wars from which, at long last, we have begun to extricate ourselves, we ought to recall the words of that anonymous U.S. officer in Vietnam: “We had to destroy the village — in order to save it.” Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.“ Read more: http://www.ammoland.com/2015/05/what-the-fall-of-ramadi-means/#ixzz3bG9peTdK Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Follow us: @Ammoland on Twitter | Ammoland on Facebook

Texas Senate Passes Bill to Establish Bullion Depository, Help Facilitate Transactions in Gold and Silver Texas Senate Passes Bill to Establish Bullion Depository, Help Facilitate Transactions in Gold and Silver You are here: Home Issues Federal Reserve AUSTIN, Tex. (May 26, 2015) – A bill taking a step towards gold and silver as commonly-used legal tender in Texas passed in the state Senate today by an overwhelming 29-2 vote. Introduced by State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione (R- Southlake) and four co-sponsors on Feb. 12, House Bill 483 (HB483) would create a state bullion depository. It reads, in part: (a) The Texas Bullion Depository is established as an agency of this state in the office of the comptroller. ( The depository is established to serve as the custodian, guardian, and administrator of certain bullion and specie that may be transferred to or otherwise acquired by this state or an agency, a political subdivision, or another instrumentality of this state. What the bill essentially does is create a means for transactions to occur in precious metals. It allows people to open an account and deposit their precious metals in the state depository. They could then use the electronic system to make payments to any other business or person who also holds an account. This opening of the market is considered by many insiders to be the most important first step towards bringing sound money to mainstream acceptance. “The key is to make it so people can use gold and silver instead of fiat paper money,” said Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center. “A bill like this won’t nullify the Fed on its own, but it is an important step forward in that direction.” THE CONSTITUTION Currently, all debts and taxes in Texas must either get paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars), authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them. But the United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” The legislation in Texas takes a step towards that constitutional requirement, ignored for decades in every state. Such a tactic would undermine the monopoly the Federal Reserve system by introducing competition into the monetary system. Professor William Greene is an expert on constitutional tender and said when people in multiple states actually start using gold and silver instead of Federal Reserve Notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal government’s monopoly on money. Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a “reverse Gresham’s Law” effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes). As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state’s treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions. Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state by state level is what will get us there. The passage of HB483 would mark the first step toward that ultimate goal. NEXT UP HB483 previously passed the House by a vote of 140-1. After some amendments were added in committee on the Senate side, the bill will first go back to the House for concurrence. On Twitter, Capriglione said the amendments were “minor” and in the vote, he “will concur.” Should the House join with Capriglione, the bill will move to Gov. Abbott’s desk for a signature. Michael Boldin contributed to this report. http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2015/05/texas-senate-passes-bill-to-establish-bullion-depository-help-facilitate-transactions-in-gold-and-silver/

from another source... Luigi says...All the Bills before the Parliament vacation have been passed. The Investment Law was not part of the block of Bills passed for one reason or another. BGG believes we can still RV without the Investment Law. Others say otherwise. Do you believe we need the Investment Law to be passed after Parliament returns in order to RV? Could we be possibly be waiting at least another month? Your opine please. 5-30-2015 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG [do you think parliment got enough done to have a currency change now or do they need more laws to go thru first...was wonderig since it looks like parliament is on vacation till July?] I do not believe anything needs to pass Parliament first - maybe the Investment Law shortly after - but that is it.

sure....but its long distance to speak to my banker in the green zone

What I like about the credit rating is, that Iraq have to show the real numbers. M0, M1, M2, Hard currency Reserves, Gold Reserves.! Go Iraq Go credit rating Go dinar Go strong

Inside the Ring: Memo outlines Obama’s plan to use the military against citizens President Barack Obama salutes military service members while watching the inaugural parade from the reviewing stand on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, 2013. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) more > By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans. The directive contains noncontroversial provisions on support to civilian fire and emergency services, special events and the domestic use of the Army Corps of Engineers. The troubling aspect of the directive outlines presidential authority for the use of military arms and forces, including unarmed drones, in operations against domestic unrest. PHOTOS: Top 10 U.S. fighter jets “This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s decision to use force within the United States against its citizens,” said a defense official opposed to the directive. Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” was issued Dec. 29, 2010, and states that U.S. commanders “are provided emergency authority under this directive.” “Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or permitted under emergency authority,” the directive states. “In these circumstances, those federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” under two conditions. The conditions include military support needed “to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order.” A second use is when federal, state and local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.” “Federal action, including the use of federal military forces, is authorized when necessary to protect the federal property or functions,” the directive states. Military assistance can include loans of arms, ammunition, vessels and aircraft. The directive states clearly that it is for engaging civilians during times of unrest. A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundyand his armed supporters. Mr. Bundy is engaged in a legal battle with the federal Bureau of Land Management over unpaid grazing fees. Along with a group of protesters, Mr. Bundy in April confronted federal and local authorities in a standoff that ended when the authorities backed down. The Pentagon directive authorizes the secretary of defense to approve the use of unarmed drones in domestic unrest. But it bans the use of missile-firing unmanned aircraft. “Use of armed [unmanned aircraft systems] is not authorized,” the directive says. The directive was signed by then-Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn. A copy can be found on the Pentagon website: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/302518p.pdf. Defense analysts say there has been a buildup of military units within non-security-related federal agencies, notably the creation of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams. The buildup has raised questions about whether the Obama administration is undermining civil liberties under the guise of counterterrorism and counternarcotics efforts. Other agencies with SWAT teams reportedly include the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department. The militarization of federal agencies, under little-known statues that permit deputization of security officials, comes as the White House has launched verbal attacks on private citizens’ ownership of firearms despite the fact that most gun owners are law-abiding citizens. A White House National Security Council spokeswoman declined to comment. President Obama stated at the National Defense University a year ago: “I do not believe it would be constitutional for the government to target and kill any U.S. citizen — with a drone or with a shotgun — without due process, nor should any president deploy armed drones over U.S. soil.” A Pentagon official who defended the directive said it was signed in December 2010 after four years of thorough consultations within the Pentagon and with other federal agencies The 2010 directive replaced several previously published directives in 1980, 1991, and 1993. The last time military forces were used to quell civil unrest was 1906 following the San Francisco earthquake to protect the federal mint and restore order in the city. The official said: “I suppose that in a very extreme case, one can imagine a combination of natural and man-made disasters that result in the cascading failure of communication infrastructure, or some electro-magnetic pulse that shuts down all electronic communication.” “In the event that it should happen in today’s day and age, we would want our senior military leaders in the field to do all they can to assist their fellow Americans to prevent significant loss of life or malicious destruction of property and to protect federal property or federal governmental functions,” the official said.

Texas Lawmakers Approve Licensed Open Carry of Handguns, Governor Says He Will Sign Bill Into Law May. 29, 2015 7:37pm Oliver Darcy In a win for gun rights advocates, Texas lawmakers on Friday approved a bill that would allow for individuals to openly carry handguns.

Thanks DM. The problem in my opinion, is 'religion' itself, and what that has birthed over the millenia. From the time we are young, we are told things and programmed to think a certain way. Often this is without explanation, other than the threats if we do not do this and that, we will go to 'hell' and be tormented, in addition to so many struggling through this life, doing the best they can, and yet someone will inevitably tell them they face an 'eternity in some unimaginable place after this life, IF they do not submit to a certain creed or belief', or do not do things just right, and the list goes on and on, always used against its target. This is what religion reflects, organized religion is often poison covered in nice sayings and beautiful structures, always making people think God is always outside of them, that they always must work to earn this gods favor, OR ELSE! It is a completely failed system and one that should make everyone question. God does not need excuses, sweeping the evil and oppression often seen in life under the table by saying it is all mans fault is pathetic, as some always do. If one looks closely at what we call the bible, and many other sources of writings going back thousands of years before the bible, we see very similar stories written about, so similar that one must wonder about the origins, instead of blindly thinking one is true and the rest are false, etc. Religion was created by men, in order to control and too often add to the oppression and tyranny seen and felt around this world, and for anyone to try and make excuses for these is both shallow and empty. If a machine is created by someone that is filled with promise, and is touted as being the crown of its creation, and it is given the ability to operate under its OWN guidance and given certain automated parameters to operate within certain boundaries, and this machine begins to cause harm where it has been placed to operate, breaking down and is a constant source of problems. If one of us owned a machine like this that failed its purpose, WHERE would we place the blame? On the unruly machine, or on the creator of this machine? Think about it...we would be holding the creator of the device responsible. Why? Because we would feel the machine did not live up to the promise of its creator, and we would want its creator to take responsibility for it. How can it be any other way? Its creator *could* say "it was created with all the necessary abilities to conduct itself properly, and it was given freedom of choice and automation within programmed boundaries, and the machine simply made bad choices, so I can not be held responsible for those choices." This is exactly how religion works, never blame the creator, tell the machine it is a bad machine, and it has made very bad choices and if it does not change, it will be exterminated. This is how it works, whether we admit it or not, always blame the creation, never its creator. This goes against all fairness and logic, yet it is believed and taught everywhere. Perhaps the other problem is we were taught a narrative that is flawed, yet for most, it can never be questioned without being punished in some way. If one honestly looks deep within what we think we "know", we all must admit we know so very little about the true nature of so many matters that surround us. It is OK to question in a manner of heart that seeks truth. The problem is, so few seem to care enough to actually ask the tough questions as to the why, and how, and who is behind it all. It is not enough to blame the creation, it is not enough to sweep it all away and blame some other 'deviant power' who only exists to disrupt and weaken the creation., and then add to it it is the machines fault because it made the choices that were opposed to its creator. if we are honest, no matter how many scripture verses are quoted, or how many excuses are made to shift blame to the creation, it can never remove the evidence that we were placed under something we did NOT choose from the beginning. Who would choose death and destruction, decay and corruption, pain and suffering for all creation WILLINGLY? Who could have the power to choose this for ALL creation if it was not granted by its creator? So then we end up right back to the same circular argument of who is to blame that is never solved. Romans 8 appears to clearly state that creation was subject to vanity, NOT of its OWN will...so then this begs the question...then who subjected it? If it was God, which is what it goes on to say, then it is fair to place the blame squarely on the one who subjected it to this vanity, futility and frailty. Any other excuse offered in this light, cannot be considered fair and just, because creation did NOT choose its own path, it was subjected to something it had no idea of the consequence on a broad scale, nor did it understand. So does this God who subjected its own creation to futility simply get excused away, or should we in fact look deeper for perhaps an answer that can only be found outside organized religion, outside of the influence of thousands of years worth of indoctrination and borrowed created stories created by corrupt and controlling minds of men? There is nothing new under the sun, we have no idea what has been altered when it comes to so much of what we think is true just because it is within the bible, or any other supposed holy writ. The stories are the same, only names were changed, but the stories all share the similar themes, going back many thousands of years, well before there was a bible or quran, etc., both of which are late in the stage of history. Both contain often harsh and sadistic type actions in the midst of some beautiful sayings and quotes, both contain hateful language, yet we think one is better than the other. Most writings often contain the similar threats aimed at the fragile creation, as if creation needs any additional pressue placed upon its already sagging shoulders. Many questions, no answers unless we are willing to think outside traditional venues, and reject what has so often been nothing more than slavery and oppression, wrapped up in a little bow of threats in order to force some manner of decision which is always the only way out of some form of sadistic torture...and we than somehow are to believe this is called LOVE. In addition to all the above, we have many followers of these matters who support violence, murder, the destruction of life, the forcing of its creeds upon others "for their own good". History does not show favor upon religion as a whole, and the deeds accomplished in the name of the gods represented is nothing less than pure horror. Things are so twisted and became so after around 315 AD, when much of christianity was altered and literally corrupted, that few ever consider how and for what purpose. Ancient libraries were destroyed, anything that could ever compete against the new state religion was literally cleansed, leaving little else to consult to try and understand our origins and who we are. Our history was formed for us, our learning became scripted for us, our thoughts became formed FOR us so little was left for our own diligent seeking and understanding. I hope this does not turn into the usual bickering DM, I am just offering another point of view, one that most refuse to consider because of fear or whatever else we have been programmed to think. Maybe one day, we will understand better why all the suffering, but for anyone to sweep it under a rug by offering the traditional excuses is an insult to anyone seeking truth. The days of constant threats and religious bullying are coming to an end, and rightfully so, because it has itself failed to accomplish anything that is beneficial for creation. We are surrounded by amazing creation amded without hands, and I have to take to heart that whatever created this breath taking display is nothing short of LOVE and beauty, beyond anything we are able to grasp at this time.

I will send this on! thanks FlyHi

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the Magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, It’s not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" Or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?" The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the Captain's' parrot. Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it ... With the parrot. They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day... And then 2 days. And then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said.... "OK, I give up. Where's the f***n' ship?"

Expectations constantly fluctuating dinar exchange rate in the near term Hits: 19 Published on: Today, 17:16 Published by: Messenger Delphi Iraqi banking official predicted continuing volatility of the dinar exchange rate against the dollar in the near term due to increased demand for hard currency, after the financial authorities recently taken new measures in an effort to support the local currency. A member of the administrative board of the Central Bank said that "the approved measures to increase the supply of the dollar in the Iraqi market has been unable to cover the increasing demand for the dollar, presumably to other government agencies outside the central bank, banks should take other measures to combat capital flight operations." He added that "the Iraqi Central Bank grants $ 125 thousand for each banking institution in the country," pointing out that "financial speculation and lack of security and political stability in the country helped the decline of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate."

Rand Paul vs. Mitch McConnell: US Senate Wrestles With Patriot Act Changes As Deadline ApproachesBy http://Weekly Address: Pass the USA Freedom Act Sens. Rand Paul (left) and Mitch McConnell, both R-Ky., are at odds over provisions of the Patriot Act, due to expire Sunday at midnight. They are pictured here at a 2013 White House event. Getty Images/Brendan Smialowski/AFP The centerpiece of U.S. efforts to prevent terrorism at home was on the chopping block Sunday, as political factions in the Senate jockeyed for position. The USA Patriot Act, which allows the National Security Agency to collect cell phone data indiscriminately, is due to expire at midnight, and it appears legislation to prevent that from happening, or to modify the law, will be blocked. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination, vowed Saturday to let the clock run out. He staged a filibuster last week against the law, which was passed in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. The NSA's data collection practices were revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, triggering a political firestorm. Paul, who espouse strong libertarian beliefs, said on his website that though he supports robust efforts to fight terrorists, "we do not need to give up who we are to defeat them." The Senate has scheduled a rare Sunday session to deal with the measure. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., opposes any changes to the Patriot Act. The House, however, has modified the intelligence-gathering provisions to require a warrant for collection of cell phone data as part of the USA Freedom Act, which President Obama has endorsed. The Senate meets in rare Sunday session to head off the expiration of the Patriot Act and its provisions for gathering cell phone date. Pictures is the National Security Agency data gathering facility in Bluffdale, Utah, about 25 miles south of Salt Lake City, Dec. 16, 2013. Reuters/Jim Urquhart/Files Obama warned in his Saturday morning radio address that the expiration of the Patriot Act, without a substitute measure, could lead to a terrorist attack. "This shouldn’t and can't be about politics. This is a matter of national security. Terrorists like al Qaeda and ISIL [the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS] aren’t suddenly going to stop plotting against us at midnight [sunday]. And we shouldn’t surrender the tools that help keep us safe. It would be irresponsible. It would be reckless. And we shouldn’t allow it to happen," Obama said. Unlike earlier incidents that saw the federal government lurching from crisis to crisis as a result of partisan bickering, the current standoff is among Republicans, who control both houses of Congress, the New York Times noted. McConnell and his allies fear ending the bulk collection of data by the NSA under national security letters issued by the FBI will endanger national security. To mitigate those fears, the House and Senate Intelligence committees developed a series of options, including the authority to track "lone wolf" terror suspects not associated with a state sponsor and "roving" surveillance of a suspect rather than a phone number, the Times said. Among the issues stalling the bill is whether technology can be developed quickly enough to enable phone companies to take over the storage of data so that when the NSA presents a warrant, the material can be turned over. The bill allows for a six-month transition but McConnell and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., doubt that's enough time, the Times said. http://www.ibtimes.com/rand-paul-vs-mitch-mcconnell-us-senate-wrestles-patriot-act-changes-deadline-1945329 https://youtu.be/BLlKojPit0o Weekly Address: Pass the USA Freedom Act

Planned a long time ago, described in Prospect for America: The Rockefeller Panel Reports. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Studies_Project If one has a chance to read the book, the plans were assembled from 1956 - 1961. The BRICS formation is part of it all, and is being hailed as a financial savior, of course. China actually is far ahead of the game, and the kings of the east are slowly dismantling the western illusion, but it is still a creation of the money men. The west has pushed the system to a very destructive point, and you will not hear it on the 'news'. Greed always has its day of reckoning, this time will be no different. Don't be fooled though by the BRICS, although at first it will be presented as the next best thing since sliced bread, once the newness wears off, and it will, the level of bondage will increase. Why? Because of those who exercise control of the current system are still involved. In the aftermath of World War 2 and the resulting formation of the United Nations (which the Rockefellers were instrumental in creating and funding), the Special Studies Project, directed by Henry Kissinger, was formed to carry out two apparent tasks: 1) to create an action plan to bring about the “elite’s” long-sought world government within the existing postwar environment, and 2) to spin the agenda in such a way that it could be sold to the American people as being in their best interest. Upon completion of their work, the Special Studies Project’s various panels compiled their reports in an incomplete, sanitized, and heavily spun book, the above-mentioned Prospect for America. The book spells out how to sacrifice the national interests of the United States for…a 'new world order'. Nothing "new" about this phrase 'new world order'. It is being sold now to the people, and so few understand its inception. It is nothing new, we just did not pay attention.
