Well, there is so much news again from Ben that it is almost one continuous highlight. He reports Bill Gates and Bush, Sr., to have been arrested, according to Pentagon sources (in other words, don’t expect this on the MSM morning news!). I was a bit not-surprised by either, especially after learning of Mr. Gates connection to Monsanto (one of my least favorite of the dark oriented corporations) (where’s that link? [Poof mentioned him here and here]).

Highlights

• The ongoing financial war is accelerating…
• George Bush Senior and Bill Gates were arrested last week for sabotaging the new financial system after being fingered by Timothy Geithner, pentagon sources say.
• Hong Kong Police Chief Peter Stevens… is wanted on charges of smuggling into Japan the nuclear weapon that was used for the 311, 2011 nuclear and tsunami attack against Japan.
• The gnostic illuminati family and the hacker group anonymous have also agreed to join forces with the White Dragon Society with a program of attacks on Monsanto and other cabal strongholds.
• …cabal families will be systematically hunted down and rounded up if they do not surrender within the month of March.
• The Dragon family provided… a document… According to this document, all 69 “first and second world countries” together with 225 other sovereign groups, have signed on to the new financial system.
• …main backers of this system include the military forces of Russia, China and the US… [the] new system would eliminate all private ownership of central banks as well as “off the books” accounting.
• …the Dragon family has agreed to provide nations with funding to clear their debts and engage in new infrastructure and other spending aimed at “harmonious development.”
• The cabalists have also tried to either kill or else freeze the assets of supporters of the new system. Despite this, a growing number of banks have defied the banking families and “crossed the picket line,” into support of the new system. Just ask a bank if they are Basel 3 compliant or not and you can find out what side they are working for.
• The battle… took a decisive turn last week when Bill Gates was arrested on charges of sabotaging the new financial system.
• The hackers group anonymous has also promised to systematically attack all cabal linked corporations, media outlets, individuals and power centers in a campaign of steadily increasing pressure and intensity.
• In Japan as well, preparations for a coup d’etat against all banking cabal flunky politicians, bankers and media are nearly complete.
• A delegation from China has arrived in Japan this week to discuss the transition to a new regime in Japan and the Korean peninsula.

The hunt is on, cabal arrests accelerating

The ongoing financial war is accelerating with arrests and assassinations being seen on both sides. George Bush Senior and Bill Gates were arrested last week for sabotaging the new financial system after being fingered by Timothy Geithner, pentagon sources say. The Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate cabalists for their part murdered Lord James Blackheath on February 29th, after he denounced their theft of $15 trillion in the British House of Lords. [see NOTE below] The White Dragon Society, meanwhile has put out an all points bulletin seeking the immediate arrest for questioning of former Hong Kong Police Chief Peter Stevens.

Stevens is wanted on charges of smuggling into Japan the nuclear weapon that was used for the 311, 2011 nuclear and tsunami attack against Japan. Stevens is currently located at the Puerto Galera yacht club in the Philippines.

The gnostic illuminati family and the hacker group anonymous have also agreed to join forces with the White Dragon Society with a program of attacks on Monsanto and other cabal strongholds. The Rockefellers, Krugers, Openheimers, Mellons, Warburgs, Rothschilds, Bushes, Morgans and other cabal families will be systematically hunted down and rounded up if they do not surrender within the month of March.

The Dragon Family Royal Society group, meanwhile, provided this writer with more information about the ongoing financial war. The Dragon family provided a copy of a document (which we will publish on our free website this week) that was handed over to the world’s central banks a year ago. According to this document, all 69 “first and second world countries” together with 225 other sovereign groups, have signed on to the new financial system. The main backers of this system include the military forces of Russia, China and the US, according to a Dragon family source. The old royal families of the world have agreed to finance it initially with $15 trillion backed by gold, jewels and treasure owned by the royals. These are the same families that funded the initial Bretton Woods system that got hijacked in the post war years by the families that own the Federal Reserve Board. The new system would eliminate all private ownership of central banks as well as “off the books” accounting.

In addition, the Dragon family has agreed to provide nations with funding to clear their debts and engage in new infrastructure and other spending aimed at “harmonious development.” The funding is vetted by representatives from 10 major world religions located in Rome. It can be verified through “D.T.C. Euro Clear banks or Federal Reserve Board blue, grey or black screens,” the DF document states.

The opposition to this system is being run by the Federal Reserve Board banking families and their Bilderberger, CFR, Trilateral commission lieutenants. They are still issuing fiat dollars that are accepted inside the US, Germany, the UK, Italy, France and Switzerland. The rest of the world (and a large part of the Swiss banking establishment) is refusing to accept these dollars but constant attempts are being made by the cabalists to launder their fiat money. They also have a comprehensive list of politicians and other power-brokers they have bribed and blackmailed throughout the world.

The cabalists have also tried to either kill or else freeze the assets of supporters of the new system. Despite this, a growing number of banks have defied the banking families and “crossed the picket line,” into support of the new system. Just ask a bank if they are Basel 3 compliant or not and you can find out what side they are working for.

There’s been a rash of bankster resignations lately, as the following links amply demonstrate.

Links to Bankster Resignations

Now, this raises all sorts of questions and possibilities. Yesterday I blogged about the fake bonds that seem to keep popping up, bonds denominated in billion dollar increments, summing to trillions of dollars, and all allegedly from the US Federal Reserve and all allegedly backed by gold, leading to the conclusion that there is a hidden mechanism of finance out there for a market in such falsified securities to exist in the first place. Now, in the wake of the financial meltdowns we’ve been watching for the past few years, we do know of the existence of a public tier of what amounts to falsified securities, namely, the derivatives and credit default swaps that led to the whole bubble in the first place.

Now let’s recall a significant fact about those “bundles” of credit default swaps: the whole structure was made possible by the Gaussian copula formula of Chinese mathematician Dr. David Li, as I detailed in the preface to my book Babylon’s Banksters. And yesterday I pointed out that the Chinese would be one party that had knowledge of the vast sums of gold that were looted from that country during World War Two by the Japanese, under a plan headed by a member of the Japanese imperial family, gold which was subsequently buried by General Yamashita in the Philippines. Dr. Li, at the time he formulated his equation, was working for the Candian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

So what the credit default bundles represented was a vast tier of mega finance, exactly as was implied by the fake bearer bonds seized in Spain and Italy, and the more well-known Japanese Bearer Bond seizure a few years ago. So the inevitable question occurs: are the recent seizures of the fake bonds in Spain and Italy related to this latest round of bankster resignations? My guess, and it is only a guess, is yes. My reasoning is somewhat byzantine, but hinges upon the idea that even if the recent seizures are indeed fake securities, they nonetheless represent a market for such things, implying that there may indeed be genuine versions of such securities floating around out there. IN other words, whoever is responsible for the faked securities may be sending messages to the western financial elite, and that message may be, in part, blackmail….

….see you on the flip side.

RASH OF BANKSTER RESIGNATIONS: SOME THOUGHTS

[Giza Death Star.

This list from American Kabuki has an extensively documented and categorized list of these resignations. 12 of them are from today’s news. I don’t know who American Kabuki is, but looks they did a great job of putting this list together.

Lots of piggy banks breaking all around the world. Or maybe it’s just the piggies (found at RMN).

[Pardon, but you'll need to copy and paste the links; there's so many of them to fix up I chose not to do it]

Schneider, general counsel for shareholder Joseph Stilwell, resigned immediately when the company asked that his requests be placed on the agenda for a board meeting next month, the bank said yesterday.

2-27-12…”81 Resignations From World Banks” (and 12 from just today), from American Kabuki

[Kauilapele's Blog]

Rumours and conspiracy theories are flying all over the blogosphere tonight as it is becoming increasingly evident that there is a mass exodus amongst the ranks of the world’s leading bankers.

All of it comes as a stunning speech is made by

Sir James of Blackheath in the British House of Lords with allegations involving the stunning amount of $15 Trillion. Sir James described a set of mysterious transactions where over $15 trillion dollars was transferred via HSBC to RBS a few years back by one individual, who then proceeded to lose that money when RBS was taken over. There are also rumours Goldman Sachs CEO Blankenfein was asked to resign but refused. Is it all connected?  It’s worth keeping tabs on.

Mass Exodus of World Bankers… what’s going on?
