Switzerland Follows Iceland In Declaring War Against The Banksters

Galactic Free Press's picture

Waking Times

If you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.”Josiah Stamp

Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit.

Their effective revolt against the banking class, who drove the tiny nation into economic crisis in 2008, is the brightest example yet that the world does not have to be indebted in perpetuity to an austere and criminal wealthy elite. In 2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry.

Inspired by Iceland’s progress, activists in Switzerland are now making an important stand against the banking cartels and have successfully petitioned to bring an initiative to public referendum that would attack the private banks where it matters most: their power to lend money they don’t actually have, and to create money out of thin air.

Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money.

The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000 people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system.

The campaign – led by the Swiss Sovereign Money movement and known as the Vollgeld initiative – is designed to limit financial speculation by requiring private banks to hold 100pc reserves against their deposits.” [The Telegraph]

Switzerland is in a key position to play a revolutionary role in changing how global banking functions. In addition to being the world’s safest harbor for storing wealth, it is also home to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a shadowy private company owned by many of the world’s central banks, and acting as a lender to the central banks. The BIS is the very heart of global reserve banking, the policy that enables banks to lend money that does not actually exist in their bank deposits, but is instead literally created electronically from nothing whenever a bank extends a line of credit.

Reserve banking is the policy that guarantees insurmountable debt as the outcome of all financial transactions.

The Sovereign Money initiative in Switzerland aims to curb financial speculation, which is the intended and inevitable result of reserve banking, the tool that makes financial adventurism possible by supplying the banks with endless quantities of fiat money.

Limiting a bank’s ability to produce money from nothing would be a direct blow to the roots of the banking cartel, and would cripple their ability to manipulate the world economy. Here’s how it works, in rather simplified terms:

“…if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the imaginary stuff we are trained to think of as important – money – in whatever quantities we liked.

This is how it works: when they print quite a lot of this stuff there is a boom. When they print too much of it, there is inflation (actually, the printing of money is inflation). When they stop printing it or simply hold on to it, there is a depression.” [Source]

In Switzerland, 90% of all money in circulation is electronic, and for this, The National Bank of Switzerland has become the direct target of the Sovereign Money Campaign. Swiss law has in the past required required banks to back all currency creation with collateral assets like physical silver or gold, however in recent decades the climate has changed, and, “due to the emergence of electronic payment transactions, banks have regained the opportunity to create their own money.”

The grass roots campaign said in a public statement regarding the intentions of the referendum, “banks won’t be able to create money for themselves any more, they’ll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks.”

Swiis National Bank

This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated by Sam Gerrans:

“… it does say that the central bank should be given sole right to create money. This would essentially leave the creation of money in the same hands as those who control the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England rather than allow them to farm out the process. But at least it shows that people are beginning to wake up to where the true power lies.

In the unlikely event that this grass-roots movement in Switzerland should get its way and its proposed legislation be enacted, and then begin to morph into something which really does threaten the banking elite, we must not be surprised if Switzerland is shortly discovered to be harboring weapons of mass destruction, or to have masterminded 9/11, or to be financing Islamic State.”

Part of the cultural conditioning of our time is an ingrained, pre-assumed dependency on sacred cow institutions like banking. Just like it is impossible for most Americans to envision a world without Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult for most people to imagine a world without predatory global banking.

Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world. This is not the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their collective wealth, so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater awareness to the truth about central banking.

Top Climate Scientist Warns Against Injecting Stratospheric Particles Into The Atmosphere

Galactic Free Press's picture

Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: January 12, 2015

Dr. Matthew Watson, a PhD and researcher in the department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol has recently expressed his concerns regarding spraying various chemicals into the atmosphere in order to combat the effects of global warming.

Dr. Watson is also the principal investigator and researcher for the SPICE project (Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering). SPICE is a United Kingdom government funded geoengineering research project that collaborates with the university of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Bristol to further examine the idea of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) – which is the idea that injecting stratospheric aerosols into the atmosphere could combat global warming. It’s a multi-million dollar project to, again, pump chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays. (source)

Here is a paper published in the Journal PLOS Biology by Dr. Watson that goes into more detail about the governance of geoengineering research. You can view his other recent publicationshere.

“We are swimming, growing, in a sea of ignorance. This terrifies me. But doing nothing is not an option. Unless we’re very wrong about climate change or quickly change our ways, at some point we’re going to have to ‘go outside’ with these technologies.” Dr. Watson (source)

Anybody who is concerned about environmental degradation, pollution, and climate change should definitely be aware of geoenigneering. For those who are unaware, geoengineering is – as defined by the Royal Society in 2009 as: “the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the planetary environment to counteract anthropogenic climate change.” (source)

According to the BBC:

“Schemes to tackle climate change could prove disastrous for billions of people, but might be required for the good of the planet” (source)

Dr. Watson recently told the Daily Mail that he is ‘terrified’ of what this type of technology could potentially do to Earth. He expressed how these technologies will become inevitable if humanity fails to halt global warming.

“If we ever deploy these technologies it will be the closest indication yet that we’ve failed as planetary stewards. While it is clear that temperatures could be reduced during deployment, the misstep is considerable. Personally, this stuff terrifies me.” – Dr. Watson (source)

Geoengineering could cause irreversible damage to planetary ecosystems, as well as human health. It will also be:

“Much more expensive and challenging than previous estimates suggest and any benefits would be limited.” – Professor Piers Forester from the University of Leeds.

Scientists like Dr. Watson have admitted that this type of technology could lead to large scale damaging changes in the Earth’s climatic systems. It could lead to changes in rainfall patterns, droughts, floods and more.

“We are swimming, drowning, in a sea of ignorance. This terrifies me, but doing nothing is not an option.” –Dr. Watson (source)

Some of the candidate particles to spray in the air proposed by SPICE are (source):

  • Sulphate/Sulphuric Acid/Sulphur Dioxide
  • Titania
  • Silicon Carbide
  • Calcium Carbonate
  • Alumina
  • Silica
  • Zinc Oxide

Some of the key concerns regarding spraying these particles into the atmosphere are not only the potential detrimental effects on Earth’s climate, environment and natural systems, but also the potential effects on human health. These concerns (and more) are currently being and have been examined by various scientists, researchers and institutions around the world.

Here is the general gist of the main idea regarding Solar Radiation Management (SRM) :

top-climate-scientist-warns-against-injecting-stratospheric-particles-into-the-atmosphere2

Here is a document produced by the Department of Engineering at Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University that outlines some more concerns many scientists are having with this idea.

Is Large Scale Spraying Already Happening?

Although Dr. Watson did mention to the Daily Mail that these programs are not operational, that an in depth assessment and evaluation of the risks involved still need to be examined, many believe this type of activity is already taking place.

“In recent years there has been a decline in the support for weather modification research, and a tendency to move directly into operational projects.” – World Meteorological Association (source)

Weather modification programs have been operational for decades. Although it might not be large scale climate engineering, this type of activity, as Dr. Watson points out, has been happening since the cold war. (source)

The weather was even modified in China for the 2008 olympics. (source)

The idea of spraying stratospheric aerosols into our atmosphere to combat global warming has been around for a while. A great example of this is a patent from the Hughes Aircraft Company that dates back to 1990. It contains 18 claims to reduce global warming through stratospheric seeding with aluminum oxide, thorium oxide and refractory Welsbach material. You can view that patent here.

Here is a United States government document from the National Archives that was printed at the request of the United States Senate In November of 1978 that outlines some of these programs.

Here is a document outlining the history of weather modification programs that was prepared by Dr. Vermeeren, a professor at the Delft University of Technology.

“We do stuff in the stratosphere all the time off-course, so it’s not absolutely pristine. But you don’t want to have people going off and doing things that involve large radioactive forgings, or programs that go on for extended periods or for that matter provide lots of reactive surfaces that could results in significant ozone destruction.” – M. Granger Morgan, Carnegie Mellon University and Professor of Engineering. (Taken from the first film cited below)

It seems that these programs have been contemplated for more than 50 years, and possibly operational.

Another factor that has people questioning if spraying is already happening is the fact that many of these programs are backed by the department of defence. As a result this type of thing becomes a ‘national security’ issue and remains legally ‘classified.’ (source)

“In addition to specific research programs sponsored by Federal agencies, there are other functions related to weather modification which are performed in several places in the executive branch. Various federal advisory panels and committees and their staffs – established to conduct in-depth studies and prepare reports, to provide advice or recommendations, or to coordinate weather modification programs – have been housed and supported within executive departments, agencies, or offices.” (source)

People seeing trails in the sky that are thick, remain in the sky, spread out during the day and block the sun could be one of the biggest reasons many believe this type of atmospheric spraying is already happening, including myself. Some have argued and provided evidence that these are not and cannot be just ‘contrails.’ Others have argued that they are indeed just that, but it’s hard to believe that that’s all they are if you are an avid observer of the skies.

There have also been some great documentaries released within the past couple of years that examine this issue more in-depth. If you are interested in this subject I highly recommend them. The two listed below go into detail about various concerns that’ve been raised with regards to geoengineering and Solar Radiation Management.

These documentaries game from www.geoengineeringwatch.org/

What In The World Are They Spraying? (Full Length)

Why In The World Are They Spraying? (Full Length)

The list goes on and on as to why many people seem to believe these programs are already in operation. Many also seem to believe that there is some sort of ulterior motive that goes beyond weather modification and combating global warming. What are your thoughts on this subject?

Sanctuary sentinels: Churches establish armed security teams as shootings rise

(City of Colorado Springs )

The Rev. Brady Boyd believes there is no safer place to be Sunday morning than inside his church.

When Boyd takes to the pulpit at New Life Church, in Colorado Springs, Colo., he and the faithful are well protected. The 30-acre grounds are patrolled by uniformed police officers and an armed safety team made up of about 20 people, including Special Forces soldiers from one of four nearby military bases. One of Boyd's personal secuirty guards is a 24-year veteran Green Beret.

“It’s not like Soviet Russia,” he said. “But you plan for the worst, and pray for the best.”

" ... you plan for the worst, and pray for the best.”

- The Rev. Brady Boyd

New Life is one of a growing number of churches around the country that embrace armed security to protect the flock as they worship. A disturbing increase in shootings inside churches, including the shooting last Sunday of a pastor in Dayton, Ohio, and the tragic killing of nine last year at a South Carolina church has prompted extreme measures.

New Life was one of the first in the nation to embrace armed security, and it has already proven provident.

Boyd was in his office at the church following Sunday services Dec. 9, 2007, when a gunman killed two people outside and then entered the building armed with an assault rifle, two handguns and up to 1,000 rounds of ammunition.

The 24-year-old killer, Matthew Murray, was about 80 feet inside the building when his rampage was brought to an end by Jeanne Assam, an armed volunteer security guard.

“I saw him coming through the doors, and I took cover, and I waited for him to get closer,” Assam said afterward. “I came out of cover, I identified myself and engaged him and took him down.”

No one can say how many lives Assam saved, but there were several thousand people on the church's campus after Sunday's services. But Boyd estimated that over a hundred lives were saved.

“I love the people that I pastor," Boyd said ... “I want to protect them."

The argument about whether more guns in the hands of good guys make everyone safer is being played out in public schools, college campuses and workplaces around the country. Critics say a proliferation of firearms ultimately puts more people at risk, and say a house of worship is the last place for weaponry.

The Rev. Kristine Eggert, co-founder of God Before Guns, said there is no credible evidence to suggest that allowing guns inside churches would lead to a safer enviornment.

Concealed weapons have typically been banned inside churches, either by law or by church policy. But some states, including Arkansas, Louisiana and North Dakota have all passed laws explicitly allowing permit holders to carry concealed weapons in churches.

The Rev. John Elford, of University United Methodist Church in Austin, Texas, told KXAN.com it discourages guns in his pews.

“We feel the open carrying of weapons is part of a violent culture and we kind of want to push back against open carry and gun violence,” he said. “We welcome you to worship. We love the fact that you’re here, but please leave the gun in the car."

Church shootings have been a disturbing fact for decades, according to BuckeyeFirearms.org, which listed instances dating back to 1974. The most notorious shooting occurred last June, when a 21-year-old white supremacist named Dylann Storm Roof gunned down nine strangers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church in Charleston, S.C., after praying with them for more than an hour.

Last month, the FBI provided security training for 165 faith leaders at its Dallas headquarters.

"The key is to be proactive and plan for it ahead of time and train for it ahead of time, so in the unlikely event something does happen, you're ready and prepared to deal with that situation," John Smith, risk management director with the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, said.

Michael Lanford, co-owner of SC Firearms Training, provides firearm training and consulting for churches throughout South Carolina. He helps clients hiring outside security teams or to form their own.

Lanford, who has a background in the military and law enforcement, said taking down an active shooter in a church requires unique reactions, and that safety and training are critical.

“When you fire a bullet—from when it leaves your gun, to when it stops—you own that bullet,” he said. “These are split-second decisions.”

Boyd said worshipers may be especially vulnerable because their unarmed presence on Sundays is predictable. That's why domestic confrontations often unfold inside what should literally be a sanctuary.

That was the case in Sunday's shooting in Dayton, where the brother of the Rev. William B. Schooler, 70, fired a fatal shot inside the St. Peter’s Missionary Baptist Church while the choir was still singing.

But Eggert said the Dayton shooting is an example of how guns inside churches would do little to prevent a similar crime.

"It's the person who shoots first," she said. "If someone had a gun inside that church it would not have prevented that."

North Korea Is Threatening Nuclear War Against the US (Again)

Mic


Once again, North Korea's state-controlled media is reporting the power and capability of the country's nuclear program. "Under the extreme situation that the U.S. Imperialist is misusing its military influence and is pressuring other countries and people to start war and catastrophe, the only way for our people to protect sovereignty and rights to live is to strengthen the quality and quantity of nuclear power and realize the balance of power," North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, announced on Friday through KCNA, the country's news agency, reports CNN.

The announcement may be a response to a decision made earlier this week by the United Nations Security Council to put new sanctions on North Korea after the country conducted a missile launch and nuclear test in violation of existing international sanctions. In September, North Korea made a similar threat toward the U.S., echoing the same rhetoric about American hostility.

According to the state-run KCNA, Kim Jong Un announced that "nuclear warheads need to be ready for use at any time," reports CNN.

The Pentagon issued a response to the news out of North Korea on Friday, saying, unsurprisingly, "We are aware of the reports. We are closely monitoring the situation on the Korean Peninsula in coordination with our regional allies. We urge North Korea to refrain from provocative actions that aggravate tensions and instead focus on fulfilling its international obligations and commitments."

"The threat here is, to me right now, it's a lot of bluster," Philip Yun, executive director of the Ploughshares Fund, a non-profit that focuses on preventing and reducing nuclear stockpiles worldwide, told CNN. "For them to deliver on a threat, they have to have intent and they have to have capability. And quite frankly, I don't think they have both."

WANT TO KNOW WHO WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY? ASK THE POPE
BY

The beef between the Don and the pontiff — Pope Francis suggesting that it’s not very Christian to build a wall, Donald J. Trump responding that ISIS will attack the Vatican if he’s not in the Oval Office — has quelled, for now. But if Trump is serious about becoming President Trump, it may behoove him to show a bit more reverence to the man in white. After all …

The candidate who wins the Catholic vote has also won the popular vote in every election since 1972.

That’s four decades of picking the winner, according to exit poll estimates, from Nixon to Obama. What makes the Catholic vote unique is its ability to mimic the trends of the American populace as a whole, says Robert P. Jones of the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute. Add that to the the fact that Catholics make up almost a quarter of the U.S. population — and have a solid history of actually showing up at the polls — and you can understand why the demographic is highly sought by campaigners.

But does the correlation between the Catholic vote and the presidency suggest that papacy can sway an American election?

Yes and no. That record “is a little bit illusory,” Jones says, because the Catholic vote isn’t monolithic, even if its leadership appears to be. The church’s political divide runs along ethnic lines, which, by the way, holds true for the nation, too. In 2012, that split meant white laypeople supported Romney, while their brown brothers in faith overwhelmingly voted for Obama. Catholics might be good predictors because their demographics reflect the general population almost perfectly:

  • On race: In 2014, 41 percent of Catholics were Hispanic, compared to 38 percent generally.
  • On education: 26 percent of Catholics held a bachelor’s degree or higher, versus 27 percent overall.
  • On earnings: 47 percent of Catholics reported income levels under $50,000, compared to 55 percent overall.

The vote has changed — and become less associated with a single party — as Catholics have “become more assimilated into the overall population,” says Steve Krueger, president of the Catholic Democrats advocacy organization. Plus, as the Pew Research Center reported this year, millennials as a whole are less religious than any previous generation, and that reality affects young Catholics, too. (While neither Trump’s campaign nor the Vatican responded to a request for comment, the Pope’s spokesman released a statement after the wall remark, saying that building bridges versus walls is “his generic view, coherent with the nature of solidarity from the gospel.”)

The party gap will only get wider, especially if you’re a Catholic, thanks to a particularly divisive election year. “This is the church that cares about defending life in the womb and immigrants,” says the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Jonathan Reyes, director of the justice, peace and human development department. “Just in those two issues, there is no easy home.” In its official election-year reflection on voting faithfully, the church agrees that its vision isn’t contained in any one candidate or party. Adherents are free to decide — based on their conscience — which priorities most closely align with their faith, which is why it’s hard to round up Catholics, as a whole, into any one party’s back corner.
