  1. Mark Arnold on history of BIS, http://fromanativeson.com/2016/11/07/hitlers-bank-the-unknown-story-of-the-bank-for-international-settlements-part-iv/

    “The conception seems to have formed in the popular mind that the Bank for International Settlements, which began at Basel, Switzerland, May 20, 1930, was organized merely to handle German reparations payments and the so-called inter-allied debt and that its principal operations are concerned with the German debt payments. That is a mistaken, although an understandable, view. / Although the prime reason for the bank’s creation was to administer the monthly sums paid into it by Germany, this duty has already become the smaller side of the Bank’s activities. The handling of the German reparations payments is a routine operation which any trust company could carry on. Within six months after opening for business the bank has developed much larger and more important activities and has become a medium of service, which is one of the saving features in a tense world situation… / The Bank is completely removed from any governmental or political control. No person may be a director who is also a government official. The Bank is absolutely non-political and is organized on a basis purely commercial and financial, like any properly managed banking institution. Governments have no connection with it nor with its administration.”

  2. Pay off mortgage? I am 67, about to retire. Have $127,000 30 year fixed mortgage at 2.3 %. If dollar gets devalued, we go to digital currency, and banks close etc. is it a good idea to use savings or cash in Roth IRAs to pay off mortgage to make good use of money now before everything crashes? How will I pay off mortgage if bank closes?

  3. How come Trump continues to rally, so successfully, with high security protection, without consequences considering attacks to him and to his family? How can he pull it of? Between that and the stocks doing so well, some times I wonder!

    1. The catch there is probably the neighbors have jobs where they get paid in paper checks and then just go to your nearest check cashing place. It is how its been done for decades in working class communities. A more optimal situation in my opinion would be to have a cash-only business. Boy would I personally love that scenario.

      1. That’s right, I agree. But the real smooth ones get paid in cash. I use to do things like this when I was younger, no checking account, just savings. Never thought much about removing the bank as a middle man until 2008 crap. Very leery now. Just direct deposit money in and bills paid out as quickly as possible. As little balance as possible.

    The analysis showed staple food crop prices will still increase approximately threefold globally relative to 2010 levels and fivefold in many parts of the world where inequities in the cost of climate change already exist.

    climate change mitigation measures estimated to increase staple food prices by 300－500%

    how would a household budget look where food prices went up threefold?

  7. It was a pretty big deal when a semi carrying a cargo of Moderns vaccines went off I-79 into a creek in West Virginia near Morgantown. The DOD came out in force to rescue the payload and burn the ground to destroy any residue. This is not typical protocol for “50 gallons of diesel fuel and antifreeze.” Additionally, there were rumors of a 2 mile radius temporary flight restriction over the crash site, which had the site closed for a day. Again, exceptional measures.

    “12 News has a reporter on scene, however, the hazardous response team will not allow anyone near the area of the accident.”

    They wear hazmat suits to handle something they want people to get injected into themselves? Curious.

    1. Wow, the presstitute was silent on this one. Thank you for sharing. This goes to show you, it is a bioweapon, they treated it as such. Even Bobby Kennedy said in an interview. If a doctor wants to inject you with a “vaccine”. Grab one of the bottles, smash it on the floor and see how they react. If they evacuate the clinic for contamination, that is a big clue, you don’t want that crap inside your body. You see I could smash a bottle of chlorophyl and no one has to evacuate
