U.S. Begs Russia to Remain in ‘SWIFT’ - The One Bank Fails Again

Does it get any funnier than this? Well, arguably, we’ve already seen an even funnier episode from these financial “Wile E. Coyotes”. But let’s begin with a look at the most recent “botched operation” by the psychopaths of the One Bank.

 

 

To any readers with even a moderate comprehension of global events, it has been completely obvious that the Western financial crime syndicate which rules over us (the One Bank) has targeted Russia for (at least) economic destruction – and perhaps political destruction, as well. It has commenced this campaign by unleashing its most-ferocious attack dog on Russia: the United States (aka “the Fourth Reich”).

 

 

The political/economic terrorism against Russia began with the coup in Ukraine, which was fully and completely orchestrated by U.S. Neo-Cons (most unelected), who actually “run” the U.S. government. This was immediately followed by a two-pronged strategy, directed squarely against Russia itself.

 

 

One-half of the campaign was an enormous, steaming mound of anti-Russia propaganda, continuously defecated by the West’s corporate media monopoly. This absurd, nonsensical propaganda relentlessly attempts to “blame Russia” for anything-and-everything even remotely connected to the West’s cannibalization of the Ukraine, and often simply fabricates “acts of Russian aggression”. This has continued even as these fascists have ordered their Ukraine Thugs to perpetrate ever more-aggressive and barbaric acts, primarily against the large, ethnic Russian population within their own nation.

 

 

The other half of this campaign was massive, overt economic terrorism against Russia, in virtually any-and-every form which could be dreamed-up by the One Bank’s army of (financial) psychopaths. They first launched an all-out attack on the Russian ruble. They then deliberately/ruthlessly manipulated oil prices to ½ their previous level, because Russia is the world’s largest energy exporter.

 

 

They also had the U.S. pressure the West’s other Lackey Governments to adopt round after round of ever more-punitive “economic sanctions” against Russia, “punishing it” for supposed misdeeds which were nothing more than the fabrications of its own propaganda. Then, as the supposed coup de grace, they had ordered that Russia be expelled from “SWIFT”.

 

 

For those readers not familiar with yet another one of the One Bank’s “tools” for financial oppression/control, SWIFT is the Western created/controlled electronic system for managing most large, commercial transactions between nations. Living in the 21st century’s electronic/computerized era, this financial crime syndicate assumed that Russia could not survive (economically) without access to this system.

 

 

The psychopaths miscalculated, badly, in almost every respect of this operation. But before summarizing this chain-of-blunders by this pack of Wile E. Coyotes, let’s review what was at least an equally botched “operation”: the economic terrorism and economic blackmail which they perpetrated against the government (and people) of India.

 

 

Regular readers are already familiar with this episode, so this summary will be as brief as possible.

 

a) The One Bank caused a stampede out of the (ultra-fraudulent) paper-called-gold market it operates, after it perpetrated the Cyprus Steal [an unintended consequence].

 

b) Because this fraudulent, paper market was (is) literally a hundred times larger than the real gold market, this stampede out of the paper-called-gold market caused a sharp drop in the price of gold.

 

c) This sharp drop in the price of gold then precipitated a stampede into real, physical gold – with import levels in China and India skyrocketing to an all-time high [another unintended consequence].

 

d) Having already squandered most of their gold inventories via their reckless/incompetent/perennialprice-suppression, this explosion in demand for real gold terrified the banksters so much that they immediately sought some way to squash this demand. With China insulated from the One Bank’s economic terrorism, the banksters chose India as their target/victim.

 

e) (As with Russia) they launched a ruthless attack on India’s currency, blackmailing India’s government into imposing a near-total embargo on gold imports before they would cease their economic attack.

 

f) This gold embargo immediately caused a massive explosion in Indian demand for silver [an unintended consequence], a massive explosion in gold-smuggling into India [another unintended consequence], and the beginning of a separate, blackmarket, real-world price for gold [another unintended consequence].

 

zxcv55

 

g) Having decided that the “cure” for its previous malady was more painful than the “disease”, the One Bank completely reversed itself, and has allowed India’s government to remove all of the previous import restrictions.

 

 

This cartoon of failure-and-incompetence provides us with more than an opportunity for a good laugh, at the expense of these Wile E. Coyotes. It illustrates an important psychological concept which has previously been raised in an earlier commentary: the difference (in mentality and behavior) between psychopaths and“chess players”.

 

 

What makes the One Bank’s colossal failure with its Indian gold embargo so humorous is not merely the long chain of “unintended consequences” which were provoked by its own extreme-and-malicious behavior (in typical, Wile E. Coyote style). What makes this folly so humorous is that all of these “unintended consequences” were totally obvious.

 

 

Deprive the world’s most-ardent “precious metals lovers” of their (legal/official) gold market, and it was obvious they would do several things: buy lots more silver, start smuggling lots of gold, and selling it in a blackmarket. Making this even more obvious, gold-smuggling has been an Indian ‘tradition’ which its government had only recently brought under control.

 

 

But it gets still funnier. From where did much (most?) of this “smuggled” gold come? From Switzerland, thehomeland of the banksters themselves. Again, this unintended consequence was also an obvious development, since (as we all know) “there is no honour among Thieves”. And showing the corrupt level to which the West has devolved, while all this Swiss gold entered India illegally and unofficially as “smuggling”, it left Switzerland officially (and legally?) as its “gold exports”.

 

 

The point here is that any moderately intelligent child would (using elementary logic) have been able to project this entire chain of events in his/her mind, anticipate the reactions to this crime and thus predict(easily) all of these unintended consequences – assuming that child was a chess-player. This is how chess players program themselves to think.

 

 

The chess player doesn’t simply plot some scheme (i.e. “move”) and then devote all his time/energy to admiring his own ‘genius’. Rather, he first tentatively imagines making that move, and then he seeks to envision any-and-all rational responses to that move (i.e. the potential “moves” of his opponent). It is only after the chess player has thoroughly analyzed all potential counter-moves, and still sees the move as bettering his own “position” that he actually follows through on that strategy.

 

 

Such thinking is almost entirely beyond the capacity of the psychopath. By their very nature, these predators have a short-term, instant-gratification mentality. Compounding this tunnel-vision, their own extreme arrogance and narcissism means they are prone to simply ignoring their enemies/opponents (i.e. victims). It is thus inevitable that these defective predators will be continually vulnerable to being “surprised” by unintended consequences.

 

 

Hopefully readers are not already laughed-out from this first Wile E. Coyote cartoon, as we are about to be treated to a second, courtesy of Simon Black: US plan to drop Russia from global banking system hilariously backfires. Black himself sets the context for the latest escapades of these Wile E. Coyotes:

 

Russia is once again Arch-Enemy of the United States. It’s like living through a really bad James Bond movie, complete with cartoonish villains. And for the last several months, the US government has been doing everything it can to torpedo the Russian economy, as well as Vladimir Putin’s standing within his own country.

The economic nuclear option is to kick Russia out of the international banking system. And the US government has been vociferously pushing for this. Specifically, the US government wants to kick Russia out of SWIFT, short for the Society of Worldwide Interbank Financial Communications.

 


Well, the Psychopaths did want to get Russia expelled from SWIFT. But that was yesterday, and this is today, and today these Wile E. Coyotes are contemplating an old cliché, which is now staring them in the face: ‘Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.’

 

 

Being ultra-arrogant, psychopaths tend to ignore the ‘common wisdom’ of the Little People, which is what most clichés represent. But if they were to commit themselves to learning (and understanding) only one of our numerous clichés, it would be this one – given their own, glaring propensity to be “surprised” by unintended consequences.

 

 

Black then explains for our benefit how this cliché, and yet more “unintended consequences” fit into this latest cartoon:

 

Here’s what’s utterly hilarious[.]

On Monday afternoon, not only did SWIFT NOT kick Russia out…but they announced they were actually giving a BOARD SEAT to Russia. That is basically the opposite of what the US government was pushing for.

Awkward…But the story is even bigger than that. Because at the same time that the US government isn’t getting its way with SWIFT, the Chinese are busy putting together their own version of it called CIPS. CIPS stands for the China International Payment System, it’s intended to be a direct competitor to SWIFT, and a brand new way for global banks to communicate and transact with one another in a way that does NOT depend on the United States. [emphasis mine]

 

 

Shortening Mr. Black’s characterization somewhat, CIPS is the One Bank’s worst nightmare. Why have these banksters spent (literally) a hundred years trying to get people (primarily Western populations) to stop holding their wealth in precious metals? Because it’s only when we use the banksters’ fraudulent paper instruments (i.e. their worthless/fraudulent fiat currencies) that they can ‘efficiently’ steal from us en masse.

 

 

If we don’t “play in their sandbox”, the One Bank can’t steal from us – or least it makes it much more difficult for this crime syndicate to steal. What would it mean, what will it mean, what does it mean, when we not only have (China’s) renminbi as our new ‘reserve currency’, but it also offers the world its own electronic system for handling all their (our) commerce? It means that we won’t be playing in the One Bank’s “sandbox”, any longer.

 

 

Once again, the Law of Unintended Consequences has risen up to bite the One Bank in its enormously bloated ass. Once again its servants, a collection of psychopathic, Wile E. Coyotes have treated us to a cartoon which illustrates their own genetic deficiency. They even wrote the punchline for this cartoon themselves. After malevolently scheming to have Russia kicked-out of SWIFT, the One Bank’s henchmen now dangle a ‘carrot’ in front of Russia – as they beg it to stay.

I'm trying to be neither too critical nor too laudatory of my country, but my country these days makes the first hard and the second easy. By "country" I mean government.

He gets more right than wrong.

The One Bank is The House of Rothschild. So he gets that right along with his web of corporations that control more than 50% the Global Economy.

http://www.bullionbullscanada.com/intl-commentary/26287-the-one-bank

He explains is fairly well here as well:

In 1980, in an infamous episode of “American Justice”; the Hunt Brothers were charged (and convicted) with attempting to “corner the silver market” – i.e. an attempt to monopolize it. At the time prosecution commenced, the Hunt Brothers had only managed to acquire less than 20% of total global inventories.

Nonetheless, given the strict provisions of our anti-trust laws this was a violation. In this one (relatively tiny) market; even a 20% concentration by a single entity is considered unacceptable. But that was when our governments were less-corrupt, and still enforced these laws on at least a semi-regular basis.

Flash ahead to 2013, and readers of my previous commentary were presented with the earth-shattering findings of a trio of Swiss researchers:

In detail, nearly 4/10 of the control over the economic value of [all transnational corporations] in the world is held, via a complicated web of ownership relations, by a group of 147 [transnational corporations] in the core, which has almost full control over itself. The top holders within the core can thus be thought of as an economic “super-entity” in the global network of corporations. A relevant additional fact at this point is that ¾ of the core are financial intermediaries. [emphasis mine]

In 1980, it was intolerable for one entity to have even a 20% share of one, small market. In 2013, the same cabal of (Western) governments has allowed a “super-entity” to acquire double that share – not of a single (small) market, or a whole sector, or even an entire economy. Rather, this is a single “super-entity” with 40% control of everything.

Of course when these researchers coined their term “super-entity”, they had no need of inventing new terminology. The word they were searching for was “monopoly”: a single monopoly with 40% control over the entire global economy.

Obviously what is being implied here is not minority control in every single market/sector/economy. Clearly this One Monopoly has a stranglehold over 40% of all markets/sectors/economies – with this obscene level of control spreading rapidly, like a particularly virulent economic cancer.

When the researchers speak of the ¾ of the “core” which are “financial intermediaries”; what this euphemistic language means is that ¾ of this giant monopoly are banks and bank holding-companies. The One Monopoly is one, big bank.

Despite its fraud-bloated size; the entire Western financial sector (all of these rapacious, utterly criminal Big Banks) would form only a small component of this One Bank. Thus while it is not necessarily true that the One Bank has effective control of all these fraud-factories; it is undoubtedly true that it controls the vast majority of them.

A “banking monopoly” with 40% control of all sectors of the global economy will obviously have a much, much higher concentration of control in the Heart of the Beast. The Big Banks of the West are literally “partners in crime” in the truest sense of that expression.

What is the crime being perpetrated by the One Bank? Anyone who reads even the diluted accounts of the Corporate Media will already know that the One Bank is involved in a cornucopia of crime, with the Attorney General of the United States, himself, publicly pledging to cover up all this (literal) organized crime. The One Bank is a crime syndicate.

However, among this litany of financial/economic atrocities, one grandiose scheme stands out above all others: nothing less than the economic enslavement of all humanity. While the “web” of corporate fronts which hides this obscene/illegal monolith may be intentionally convoluted; its strategy couldn’t be simpler.

Persuade/coerce all the Puppet Governments under its influence to intentionally become over-indebted, literally to the brink of bankruptcy…and then blood-suck. Steal a (large) portion of all the labours of all productive members of our society as so-called “interest payments” – forever.

The One Bank is above all else a gigantic parasite, claiming a large piece of all human production while earning none of it.

Understand that in one way or another, all of the massive/unrepayable bond debts of these Deadbeat Debtors are thoroughly tainted with fraud. How did (nearly) all of the West’s governments bury themselves in debt, far past the point of insolvency? They had a lot of help.

 

After these governments were already all on the threshold of insolvency; the One Bank sent its minions to begin whispering in the ears of all these Puppet Governments. The One Bank had “discovered” a magical way for all these governments to all borrow much, much more – and still remain solvent (claimed the minions).

The “magic” was via all the extremely complex (and entirely illegal) “financial derivatives” which the Puppet Governments had allowed these bankers to bring into existence. Indeed, the most-destructive/most-illegal form of these derivatives (credit-default swaps) had been explicitly banned in the U.S. for nearly a century based on anti-gambling statutes.

The promises of the minions of the One Bank were all lies. There was no “magic” way to permanently reduce interest rates, and thus permanently be able to (viably) finance much more debt.

When these financial fiduciaries (i.e. the minions of the One Bank) made their financial warranties which were unequivocally false, that was fraud. Moreover, the primary tool to perpetrate this fraud was credit-default swaps – i.e. illegal instruments.

All Western bond debts are the product of fraudulent misrepresentation, perpetrated through the use of illegal instruments (credit-default swaps, et al). According to the most basic tenets of the Rule of Law; all of these bond debts are now thoroughly tainted with fraud – and thus null-and-void as a matter of law.

The fact that our corrupt governments have (at best) passively facilitated the rape of their own economies, and “legitimized” all this bond fraud/crime by refusing to enforce their own laws cannot redeem the inherent fraud of these transactions.

When Debt Jubilee arrives and all these bond-debts are wiped clean (as they have been in previous historical episodes of similar, systemic fraud); the basis for eradicating all this debt will not be purely in morality, but also clearly in legality. The crime must end. Humanity must be allowed to remove the Yoke of the One Bank.

While undoubtedly many reader questions still remain about this malevolent “super-entity”, certainly one question rises above all others. Can we put a specific name to this “one bank”? Apparently so: Rothschild.

Many historical sources document the Rothschild clan as being unquestionably the wealthiest “house” on the planet in the 19th century, my own favorite source being the superlative documentary, The Money Masters. This clan has never suffered any significant, publicly-recorded financial set-back. Yet flash ahead to the early 21st century, and on any (so-called) “world’s wealthiest list” you will never see the Rothschild name appear.

Simply having “more money” makes it easier to accumulate (i.e. steal) even more money. Thus our presumption (if anything) is that House Rothschild would have extended the financial gap which separates these Misers from humanity.

The implication here is clear. The “world’s richest” lists compiled in the propaganda of the Corporate Media are simply the “B-list” billionaires. What does it mean to really be one of the “world’s wealthiest”? Being able to have your name removed from that propaganda list.

The Rothschilds, world’s wealthiest bankers of the 19th and 20th centuries, have (apparently) succeeded in creating One Bank, in order to greatly expand/accelerate their looting of all the wealth of humanity in the 21st century. How important is such a corporate front to the malevolent aspirations of House Rothschild?

Here the Swiss researchers are unequivocal:

In particular, the top ranked actors hold a control ten times bigger than what could be expected based on their wealth. [emphasis mine]

The One Bank is nothing less than a gigantic “amplifier” of financial crime – apparently the new crimes of House Rothschild. Such a paradigm leads one to paraphrase a piece of immortal verse from the legendary J.R.R. Tolkein:

One Bank to rule them all,

One Bank to find them,

One Bank to bring them all,

And in the darkness bind them.

We are all “bound” by the fraud-bonds of the One Bank. And until we finally/completely/irrevocably destroy this One Bank; we will remain the financial thralls of these real-life Dark Lords.

 

I'll take TRUTH for $500 Alex.....

Have read Jeff's work for several years and don't think the argumentitive points made by posters are inconsistent with most of his work.  Mr. Nielson has for the sake of this work made some remarks that are targetted but not all inclusive.  He is well aware of the his tenacious adversary.  But enjoys picking on  its tactics and shorterm reactions.   The beast isn't perfect its fallible Jeff has great insight and sarc to destruct their path.

It seems a lot of people think that the US is special somehow. We were blessed with oceans for borders and vast resources. But our specialness came from the freedom to achieve a better life which gave incentive to the people gifted with ability and drive, making a better life made a better country. But now the golden goose is cooked. There is no reason to try to become more than a corporate minion. You can't compete in the market place no matter what you offer. Maybe a person with a good functioning business handed to them from parents or a few technical niche type operations can succeed. But by and large the american dream is over. So goes the last hope of humanity and anyone thinking it will be back soon is delusional.

Compare how SWIFT was manipulated to kick Iran out. It was not even part of the legislated sanctions, but mostly a lobbying success among tribal friends.

These friends realized that kicking Russia out would mostly disadvantage their oligarch brothers, so they decided that a board seat should go to one of these brothers instead.  That will give them the opportunity to kick selectively.

The neocons who want to kick Russia in the teeth have to use more subtle means than those employed agains Iran.

This is a better explanation than just psychopathic incompetence.

The One Bank will be willing to start WWIII before losing their monopoly, that is the prime worry. These “Wile E. Coyotes” think they can survive a nuclear war in their bunkers. These people have no souls!

Most people only describe the symptoms and miss the core issue; there is a psychopath in all people manifested by various degrees based on perceptions (one's perception is one's reality) and circumstances.  The human nature is rotten to the core. No disrespect; many of these comments are very good.

-

See if you are on this list:  "And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,  being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,  slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;  and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."  This is heavens perspective and should be obvious to all who are honest with themselves that they are on this list multiple times.  If you compare this to the definition by Mr. Webster on "psychopath"...one will begin to understand the root problem lies within each individual by nature.

And how exactly is it garbage?

The only thing I'd disagree with is his portraying the psychopaths as short-termist. This applies only to your hood rat psycho.  The people he's referring to think long term. Very long term, spanning generations in fact.  They couldn't have achieved what they've done to us any other way.

When it comes to CIPS and The One Bank, I guess one could really say that we're talking about two cultures of similar age, sort of competing against each other...?    Both have a few thousand years around the block of human nature, virtue & vice, etc., so they're both quite capable of maneuvering and manipulating people.   One of these 'tribes' just so happens to have a keen nose for appropriating other people's money, while the other has a keen knack for keeping its cards from view.   Interesting match-up...

By their very nature, these predators have a short-term, instant-gratification mentality.

 

WRONG.

To be sure, many low-level predators have short-term mentality.  But those near the top levels (central banksters) most definitely think in decade and century long timeframes... and beyond.  And they are vastly better at long-term thinking and almost all regular folks, and most thoughtful folks.

HOWEVER.

The real phenomenon involved is this.  These psychopathic predators have thousands of years of evidence that the masses are clueless, confused and brainwashed.  So much so that the predators-that-be have been able to almost literally get away with anythingANYTHING.

Seeing how stupid, clueless and accepting of their abuse the world population was, they simply observed --- they could get away with anything.

Their "mistake" (if it was a mistake) was to assume they could enact ever greater numbers of ever more egregious and outrageous abuses... and everyone would accept them (rather than take the slower "boiled frog" approach).

Fact is, virtually all "regular folks" continue to accept whatever they dish out.

However, a few of their fellow predators-that-be are no longer willing to accept or tolerate such extreme, rapid-fire abuses being directed at them.

Like Putin and China, for example.  And when the predators-that-be AKA "leaders" of Europe realize the predators-that-be in the USSA intend to maneuver Russia and Europe into a nuclear war on the soil of Europe, they too start to draw lines and refuse to accept their own vaporization lying down... just because the psychopaths in the USSA want them to.

The example of SWIFT is admittedly hilarious.  If not for the replacement systems now created by China and Russia, the predators-that-be most certainly would kick Russia out of SWIFT.  But China and Russia DID create replacement systems, so the result of kicking Russia out of SWIFT would be... the predators-that-be in the USSA would lose their monopoly on control of ALL international financial transactions.

THAT is unacceptable to the predators-that-be, because THAT is one of the most potent sources of their predatory power.  And so those predators who control SWIFT are terrified to lose that monopoly.

Hopefully their egregious behavior DOES cause them to lose this monopoly power.  The WORST thing that can possibly happen to sentient beings is monopoly powers, monopoly control of important aspects of life (trade being one of them).

-----

Note that I pretty much agree with the article, but disagree with this one characterization because it is important to NOT underestimate your adversary.  And the author has done that.  The banksters and top-level predators-that-be most certainly have long-term plans, and have been quite expert at guiding the human species down the tubes.

It doesn't matter if they have a short-term or long-term mentality. They are benefiting from a naturally evolved system.

It's the innate behaviors nature has bestowed on the two participants: the desire of the rulers to control and the willingness of the dupes to obey - all reinforced by a couple million years of promoting the survival of both groups.

They wouldn't exist as such otherwise.

Yes, that's how essentially mindless creatures would behave.  But humans need not "be essentially mindless".  And given the technology that exists today, no human has any excuse for being essentially mindless (assuming the human mind is impotent).

Also, those behaviors are not innate.  However, they are in a sense "bestowed" by their programmers (parents, relatives, teachers, etc).

You and most others only describe the symptoms and miss the core issue; there is a psychpath in all people manifested by various degrees based on perceptions and circumstances.  The human nature is rotten to the core. No disrespect; your analysis is good.

I was in India when the freeze was on- no talk of TPTB or the US behind it from businessmen.

Not that it would be impossible. Gold was way high, cheaper in USD than rupee. But they smuggle it all the time anyways.

This seems a bit of disconnect here.\or I can't see the forest for the trees...

What we are seeing, and what the author might be referring to, is their modus operandi aka: 'new normal'.  This is why the ordinary people & their cliches' generally make sense, often in a satirical way the management is revealed for what it is.

 

And this is not just at the central banking level, wayyyyyyyy down here at the hamburger flipping level, it seems just as scary.  Management screams during the circus, and they never quite 'get it' that if you don't respect your labor, your money, your customers, nor your product then don't expect your store to turn a profit...just ask any 12 year old.

 

The sad thing is we have to watch the intentional but futile efforts, and even document the blow by blow often requiring deadly headlines.

IMHO, there are some omissions and inaccuracies in this commentary:

First, Russia has developed its own equivalent of SWIFT (Not mentioned in the Article) which was completed before CIPS. It could be deployed independently or in conjunction with CIPS which, incidentally is not yet complete.

Second, SWIFT is an International business and the US on;ly has so much sway over the other members. Russian transactions now account for over 15% of all SWIFT volume so it is an understandable business decision by the members as a whole (Not begging by the US) not to want to see Russia pull out, especially if it would create new competition for the first time. But both Russia and China have more strategic goals which will ultimately see them establish their own system (See below)

Third, the most important point was missed entirely and that is the USD. The US can ONLY impose sanctions and other penalties on non-compliant regimens if the USD is involved, All international transactions in USD are "Cleared" through NY so the use of the USD and the clearing process through US territorial jurisdiction is what allows the US to act as the bully on the block. The use of an alternative system which DOES NOT USE USD or the US Financial system is the key to breaking free from US control. More than anything, that explains why the alternative(s) WILL happen in due course. China and Russia will commence this process but it can be anticipated that many other countries, also tired of US bullying, will soon get on board.
