Friday Updates in late February 2010

Money is an important subject. The Citibank controversy puts dubious FDIC guarantee back in the spotlight. The 7 day restriction on bank withdrawals could mean the difference between preserving or destroying your life savings if the U.S. dollar collapses. It's shows the vulnerability of the fractional reserve banking system and the FDIC's shaking guarantee that it can insure desposits in the event of a bank run. Citibank's notice informed its customers of the right to request 7 days notice before funds can be withdrawn from all checking, savings and money market accounts was necessary to ensure compliance with Federal Reserve regulations. FOX news business reported on this little known regulation yesterday in a piece written by Darryl R. Isherwood. “The requirement is part of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. It applies to all accounts classified as Negotiable Order of Withdrawal [NOW] accounts – basically interest-bearing checking and savings accounts held by individuals and non-profits. Banks are not required to hold reserves in place to cover NOW accounts, so the rule prevents a run on withdrawals for which there are no reserves,” states the report. For those still unaware of the fact, it comes as a shock that your has no reserves with which to cover withdrawals (if there was a sudden loss of confidence and a good old run on the bank as has happened on many times over the past 2 years in the UK and the U.S.). The report says that a spokeswoman says that the bank chagned the status of the bulk of its consumer checking accounts last year to take advantage of an FDIC policy (to provide unlimited account protection to certain types of accounts. When Citi transferred the accounts back to their original status, it triggered the notification of the seven day requirement. FDIC claims it gurantees insurance to the tune of $250,000 per depositor per bank, but the rising number of bank failures and those placed on the "problem list" has created frears that the tank is running dry. Alarmingly, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. only has about $50 billion to “insure” about $1 trillion in assets across the nation’s financial institutions. This was even admitted in a Yahoo.com article shortly after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. When Americans realize the fact that banks are “going to run out of money”, the article nonchalantly stated, a run on the banks will accelerate. On Tuesday, the FDIC said that its deposit insurance fund suffered a $12.6 billion drop in the final three months of 2009 due to accelerating bank closures. The fund's reserve ratio was -0.39% at the end of the quarter and the lowest on record for the combined bank and thrift fund according to the announcement. Financial experts have predicted that the failure of 300-500 U.S. banks would absorb all of the FDIC's insurance funds. This is why people are worried that banks imposing delays on access to their savings, not as a result of some Internet conspiracy going out of control (as the FOX News Business article implies), but as a consequence of true magnitude of what could plausibly heppen in a worse case sceanario. If the U.S. dollar was to suffer a sudden and drastic collapse as some financial expert predicted (and hyperinflation occurs, then people might have real access to money or swap it for another currency of a period of 7 days could be the difference between preserving your life savings or having them rendered practically worthless). If the United States suffered a Weimar Republic style collapse and the cost of a pound of butter soared to a million dollars. Generations of wealth could be gone overnight with people to not be able to access their savings. Many people are flocking to physical gold and silver builion in trying to preserve their wealth. With banks affording themselves the power to loan out increasing multiples of what they hold at any one time while the money supply is artificially doubled, being reminded of the fact that our nest eggs consist of nothing more than numbers on a computer screen which can be withheld from us at the discretion of the banks isn’t exactly going to restore trust in traditional methods of saving.


An Oregon Planned Parenthood group is beginning to sell women a dangerous abortion drug. This group is found in southwestern Oregon. This drug have killed more than 13 women worldwide. It has injured thousands more people. Planned Parenthood of Southwest Oregon will sell the mifespristone drug to women starting next month. A study last year found 20 percent of women using the abortion drug face media complications. Planned Parenthood CEO Cynthia Pappas informed media outlets the abortion business will sell the abortion drug to women whose pregnancies are not yet at the ninth week. Pappas said the coming retirement of more abortion pracitioners makes it so Planned Parenthood needs to look more closely at increasing access to the dangerous abortion drug. She also indicated the decision makes abortion avaliable to rural women. The Register Guard newspaper also indicates Pappas said nurse practitioners workign at Planned Parenthood centers will be able to dispense the abortion drug even through the FDA recommends that it be given out under the supervision of a licensed physician. With 28,000 customers and eight centers from Eugene to Aushland, Pappas will likely sell a large number of the abortion drugs, which come in a two part process that first starves the unborn child to death and then expels the body of the dead baby. Oregon Right to Life Executive Director Gayle Atteberry told the newspaper she was disappointed to learn the abortion drug is coming to that part of the state and that it kills an unborn child in the same way as a surgicial abortion. “We're totally opposed to that. It kills a baby just as much as a surgical abortion does,” she said. Because Oregon does not have a parental involvement law, Atteberry worries pregnant teenagers may be more likely to have an abortion because the abortion drug makes it easier for them to hide their pregnancy and abortion from their parents. In 2009 in fact, a high school basketball coach near Portland was charged with five counts of sexual abuse involving a 17 year old girl he oversaw as a coach. Police arrested 51 year old Howard Avery and charged him with 3 counts of sexual abuse and other charges. The court documents make it clear that the sexual acts were done without consent and involve statutory rape since the girl is underage. These acts weren't the first time since Avery admitted to the Oregonian newspaper in years past that he had sexual relationships with other students. He said that he had a sexual relationship with one student in the 1990's and paid for her to have an abortion when she became pregnant as a result. Pappas claimed that the abortion businees urges teens to contact their parents even though undercover videos show they have helped conceal cases of sexual abuse and statutory rape. In Oregon in 2007, 12,000 women had abortions.

The United Nations is heavily New Age. That's the truth. The United natiosn have been ruled by people that agree with globalism or the power of a few people to control the affairs of most of the world. The U.N. have an anti-Semite past. One of the U.N. Secretary-Generals, Kurt Waldheim, was a former Nazi German officer who committed crimes against the Jews and was listed by the War Crimes Commission as a war criminal. The information about his past did not become public until after his term as Secretary-General, but it is not surprising that Waldheim condemned Israel’s dramatic rescue of Jewish hostages in Entebbe in 1976. He also was at the helm when the United Nations passed the “Zionism Is Racism” resolution. They claim to care for the Third World, but did nothing to stop the genocide going on in the nation of Rwanda (some Papists were war criminals in that affair). Some times, the United Nations don't make a distinction between arming oneself for protection and using aggression in foreign affairs unfjustifably. Robert Muller joined the U.N. in 1951 and has been a New Age proponent. He supported the U.N. Mediation Room in 1977 that believes in a comsic unity of people. He believed that man can reach divinity. He of course ecumenicalism and a new Age religious paradigm. In 1956-57 Hammarskjöld completely remodeled the UN chapel. It had been opened in 1952 as a non-denominational prayer room, the brainchild of a Christian lay organization whose members included the department store millionaire J.C. Penney. Hammarskjold turned it into a New Age Meditation Room. The arm chairs, flags of the nations, draperies, and potted plants were removed, and a six-and-a-half ton block of iron ore was deposited in the center of the room, the polished top of which is lit by a single beam of light from the ceiling. The light depicts “divine wisdom,” and the block depicts an empty altar representing “God worshipped in many forms” (http://www.aquaac.org/un/sprtatun.html). Hammarskjöld said, “It is the altar to the God of all” (“A Room of Quiet,” http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/dag/meditationroom.htm). U Thant was the UN Secretary General from 1961 to 1971 and he supported the agenda of the New Age Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin. He believed in tolerance and desire to use philosophy to develop a new world. The Vatican have worked with the U.N. in religious matters as well like promoting world unity at the expense of national sovereignity. The Luciferian Lucis Trust is linked to the U.N. Alice Bailey was one leader in it who hated nationalism, hate Israel, and wanted an unversial world religion. He was oppose to mainstream Christianity that denied the existence of Hell (his husband was the 32nd Degree Freemason and occult proponent Foster Bailey). From the Earth Charter to other groups, the New Age components to the United Nations is easy to comprehend.

AIDS is a series matter. There are numerous symptoms to AIDS. Symptoms in HIV spread slowly when a first has just been infected. Some people have been infected with HIV for 10 or more years with no symptoms of illness. They can still infect other human beings in that span of time with a reduce risk of infecting other with safe sex or abstinence. Testing is an easy way to see if a person is infected with HIV. HIV infection symptoms can include a dry cought, a fever that comes and goes, a deep tiredness that can't be explained, blotches that can be red, pink. or purplish under the skin or inside the mouth, nose of eyelids, heavy night sweats, rapid weight loss, memory loss, etc. These symptoms doesn't mean a person has HIV or AIDS. Only an HIV test can make certain whether a person has HIV or not. Some doctors feel that HIV can transform into AIDS into a matter of years. Children who are born with HIV and people who got HIV through a blood transfusion tend to get sick more quickly. HIV according to mainstream doctors is the last stage of HIV infection. Since 1996, powerful virus-fighting drugs have been introduced that dramatically delay the progression of HIV to AIDS. Other new treatments and drugs are now being used to treat illnesses associated with AIDS. People with AIDS, HIV, just like all of us should live a life with the right food to eat, have regular exercise, don't use illict drugs, reduce stress, avoid smoking, avoid alcohol, etc. There are of course many HIV/AIDS myths that are commonly shown even in 2010. One myth is that AIDS is a death sentence or your life is over. Nothing can be further form the truth. Antiretrovial therapy and other treatment have made numerous people to live a very long and joyful life with AIDS. People are trying to find cures as we speak for HIV and AIDS. Another myth is that HIV/AIDS only affects homosexual men, drug users, prostitutes, and sexual promisicous people. HIV is an equal opportunity virus that can affect anybody under certain circumstances (like newborn babies, women, teens, seniors, and folks of every race, ethnicity, nationality, and background). It is true that unsafe sex, multiple sex partner, and intravenous drug use that's unsafe can increase the risk for HIV infection and AIDS. More women recieve HIV since they are being infected by contaminated needles or some have sex with HIV-infected men. One other myth is that HIV/AIDS can spread by casaul contact with someone with HIV, mosquitoes, tattoes, breather the air, and kissing a HIV infected person on the check. HIV is spread only when someone is exposed to blood, semen, vaginal fluid or mother's milk from someone who is infected with HIV. The virus doesn't live long in the open environment outside the body. There is virtually no evidence that HIV infection can be spread from tears or sweat.

Secret Societies dealing with world history is real. Some have pointed out that Grand Orient 's goal is rather overt in trying to promote political influence in remoudling Europe under the guise of secularism plus humanism (beyond just charity, helping burn victims, and chipping children). Many religious groups oppose the Grand Orient's agenda. In 2008, Marcel Conradt, Freemason and parliamentary assistant to the Socialist MEP Veronique De Keyser, criticized religious lobbies and sects. He wants to influence legislation and decision makers especially MEPs. In other words, Marcel want God out of politics not just criticizing cults like Scientology or the Raelian movement. Since then, a special recognition was given to churches. The Lisbon Treaty guarantees them an “open, transparent and regular” dialog with the institutions. They are regarded as “partners” rather than as “lobbyists” who are required to divulge their sources of funding. Secularists believe that imbalances exxist among religion and government. Marcel mentioned that the Commission head named Barroso, Parliament (Buzek) and the Council (Van Rompuy) are chaired by people with religious conviction. There is controversy on whethe the EU can display religious symbols in public buildings causing tensions. Some don't like Papal influence in the EU. Jean-Michel Quillardet, former Grand Master of the Grand Orient de France, outlines the transformation undertaken by Freemasonry throughout Europe. He sid that he wants Masonry to defend secularism (and that Europe apart from its Christian roots owes much to the philosophies of Greece plus Rome). He met with the President of European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso. Jean-Michel Quillardet said that the Grand Orient wants to create a Masonic federation in Europe, which is one of the few times Masons admit their real globalist tendencies and agenda overtly. It's out in the open what Freemasonry desire. They not only want the revival of Solomon's Temple , but a federalized world system of Lodges. The truth is that we don't extreme secularism as advocated by some Masons or a theocratic empire promoted by the Catholic Church (and Dominionists). We just need religious freedom and political freedom.
