Video series by Eric deCarbonnel of Market Skeptics about the Exchange Stabilization Fund

1st posted by CV  Wednesday, December 14, 2011

After posting yesterday TheDailyBell's informative reference to deCarbonnel & his videos, I was reluctant to belabor the issue, but a well-informed subscriber  prodded me, so here we go.

From Don't Tread on Me
My Critique of “What I Have Been Afraid To Blog About: The ESF and Its History.”

This is a very interesting video series by Eric deCarbonnel of Market Skeptics about the Exchange Stabilization Fund. It is a look into the secret slush fund that operates trillions of dollars of with no oversight. It is the nexus of money and the dark world of market intervention, covert operation, drug and other illicit activities the Elite run. The real purpose of this video series is very unsettling and turns out to be a very crafty piece of propaganda.

The Federal Reserve is the Secret Conduit to Funnel Your Money to Foreign Govts & US Corporations

It's an even bet that the NPR's Julia Simon is on the beam when she states below. "In fact, the appropriated funds never make their way directly to Egypt. “It goes to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, then to a trust fund at the Treasury and, finally, out to U.S. military contractors that make the tanks and fighter jets that ultimately get sent to Egypt,” wrote Julia Simon of National Public Radio (NPR)." - - Indeed, that 'trust fund' is the ESF!

 6 Major Corporations that Profit from U.S. Aid to the Egyptian Military

Geopolitical reasons have been cited repeatedly to explain why the United States continues to provide more than $1 billion in military aid to Egypt since the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi and the subsequent crackdown on his political party, the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Proof of US Meddling & PAYING Ukranians $100/daily to 'Revolt'

How our tax money goes to pay for overthrowing other regimes by death. Regimes that are of absolutely no threat to America.

There exist several secret conduits by which Washington can funnel money clandestinely to foment unrest overseas. ESF is the proven method by the CIA, the NED is the congressional vehicle for money transfer for disrupting over country's affairs, and, of course, USAID, lately in the forum discussions. The answer to 'where does the money go' after it leaves the taxpayer's pocket is amongst one or more of those three agencies.

"Been meaning to write to you.  My wife is from the former USSR and she talked with her mom the other day.  Evidently a woman from the village where my wife grew up invited their daughter and her husband/family to come live with them in their republic/country outside of Ukraine about a month ago. 

There is no fighting in the woman's village but her daughter lives in  _[censored]_  eastern Ukraine and there had been constant shelling and shooting which has made the daughter very scared/worried for herself and family.

Daughter and her husband/family moved to the mother's and the mother got her son in law a job in a near by city doing construction for $120/month but she let them live in her house for free and help provide them with food, etc..  After a few weeks the husband said they were moving back to Ukraine saying "The American government paid me $100 a day to revolt in Kiev square to oust Yanoukovich, why would I work here for $120/month".  He then proceeded to say that "I've been told that the American's are going to be paying again soon for more protests in Kiev and I would rather go there and get paid to protest than work here and get next to nothing".

It just so happened that a new round of protests and fires started in Kiev this week.  Thought you might like to hear that story."

The Covert Origins of ISIS *vid*

Evidence exposing who put ISIS in power, and how it was done.  28.Aug.2014 | SCG

The Islamic militant group ISIS, formerly known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and recently rebranded as the so called Islamic State, is the stuff of nightmares. They are ruthless, fanatical, killers, on a mission, and that mission is to wipe out anyone and everyone, from any religion or belief system and to impose Shari'ah law. The mass executions, beheadings and even crucifixions that they are committing as they work towards this goal are flaunted like badges of pride, video taped and uploaded for the whole world to see. This is the new face of evil.

Would it interest you to know who helped these psychopaths rise to power? Would it interest you to know who armed them, funded them and trained them? Would it interest you to know why?
 
This story makes more sense if we start in the middle, so we'll begin with the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
The Libyan revolution was Obama's first major foreign intervention. It was portrayed as an extension of the Arab Spring, and NATO involvement was framed in humanitarian terms.
 
The fact that the CIA was actively working to help the Libyan rebels topple Gaddafi was no secret, nor were the airstrikes that Obama ordered against the Libyan government. 

However, little was said about the identity or the ideological leanings of these Libyan rebels. Not surprising, considering the fact that the leader of the Libyan rebels later admitted that his fighters included Al-Qaeda linked jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq.
 
These jihadist militants from Iraq were part of what national security analysts commonly referred to as Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Remember Al-Qaeda in Iraq was ISIS before it was rebranded.
 
With the assistance of U.S. and NATO intelligence and air support, the Libyan rebels captured Gaddafi and summarily executed him in the street, all the while enthusiastically chanting "Allah Akbar". For many of those who had bought the official line about how these rebels were freedom fighters aiming to establish a liberal democracy in Libya, this was the beginning of the end of their illusions.

 
the highest standard of living of any country in Africa. This according to the U.N.'s Human Development Index rankings for 2010. However in the years following the coup, the country descended into chaos, with extremism and violence running rampant. Libya is now widely regarded as failed state (of course those who were naive enough to buy into the propaganda leading up to the war get defensive when this is said).
 
Now after Gaddafi was overthrown, the Libyan armories were looted, and massive quantities of weapons were sent by the Libyan rebels to Syria. The weapons, which included anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles were smuggled into Syria through Turkey, a NATO ally. The times of London reported on the arrival of the shipment on September 14th, 2012. 

(Secondary confirmation in this NYT article) This was just three days after Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed by the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. Chris Stevens had served as the U.S. government's liaison to the Libyan rebels since April of 2011.
 
While a great deal media attention has focused on the fact that the State Department did not provide adequate security at the consulate, and was slow to send assistance when the attack started, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh released an article in April of 2014 which exposed a classified agreement between the CIA, Turkey and the Syrian rebels to create what was referred to as a "rat line". The "rat line" was covert network used to channel weapons and ammunition from Libya, through southern turkey and across the Syrian border. Funding was provided by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
 
With Stevens dead any direct U.S. involvement in that arms shipment was buried, and Washington would continue to claim that they had not sent heavy weaponry into Syria.
 
It was at this time that jihadist fighters from Libya began flooding into Syria as well. And not just low level militants. Many were experienced commanders who had fought in multiple theaters.
 
The U.S. and its allies were now fully focused on taking down Assad's government in Syria. As in Libya this regime change was to be framed in terms of human rights, and now overt support began to supplement the backdoor channels. The growing jihadist presence was swept under the rug and covered up.
 
However as the rebels gained strength, the reports of war crimes and atrocities that they were committing began to create a bit of a public relations problem for Washington. It then became standard policy to insist that U.S. support was only being given to what they referred to as "moderate" rebel forces.
 
This distinction, however, had no basis in reality.

The Secret Money Fund the US Govt Uses to Hide the Truth from the American People

How the CIA, US Fed Reserve & Treasury Use the Secret Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) to Hide the Truth from the American People *video series*

In my amateurish belief this series of disclosure info & videos in this post contain the most dangerous of any info to the Conspiracy.

This is culled and abbreviated from a 12/14/2011 post of ours. We feel it is appropriate to review in light of the goings-on and increasing intensity to audit the Fed and gold reserves of our own, and those in Fed custody for other nations.

This is a very interesting video series by Eric deCarbonnel of Market Skeptics  about the Exchange Stabilization Fund. It is a look into the secret slush fund that operates trillions of dollars of with no oversight. It is the nexus of money and the dark world of market intervention, covert operation, drug and other illicit activities the Elite run. The real purpose of this video series is very unsettling and turns out to be a very crafty piece of propaganda.

CIA-funded corruption: Top Afghan officials on secret US payroll – report

Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai is often mistaken, more likely intentionally misled by our media, for an Afghan nationalist and patriot when in factuality is a CFR sock puppet. Karzai was installed for the political and financial benefit of the power elite. The Afghan people be damned.

What do you really know about this Criminal Insider Maurice R. Greenberg? | Public Intelligence

Maurice R. Greenberg

March 30, 2010 in United States

• Former CEO, American International Group, Inc., 1968-2005¹
• ^{Former Chairman, Council on Foreign Relations}
• Former Chairman, Director, and Deputy Director, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
• Former Director, New York Stock Exchange
• Chairman, Starr Foundation
• Chairman and CEO, C. V.  Starr & Co., Inc.
• Connected with several firms related to U.S. intelligence activities
• Previously nominated to be Director of Central Intelligence
• Frequent attendee of Bilderberg Meetings²

Maurice Raymond “Hank” Greenberg was born May 4, 1925 in New York City, the son of a Jewish candy store owner Jacob Greenberg.  His father died when he was seven and his mother, Ada Rheingold, married a dairy farmer who lived in the Catskill mountains.  Greenberg lied about his age in 1942, claiming he was seventeen, so that he could enlist in the Army.  He later became an Army Ranger, landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day and participating in the liberation of Dachau in 1945.  After the war, Mr. Greenberg received his undergraduate degree from the University of Miami Florida in 1948 and earned his L.L.B. from New York Law School in 1950.³  He was admitted to the bar in 1952.⁴  He went on to serve during the Korean conflict, taking a position in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

In 1953, Mr. Greenberg talked his way into a position at the offices of Continental Casualty in Manhattan.  In 1959, he was appointed vice-president, becoming the youngest executive in the company’s history.  In 1960, J. Milburn Smith, the president of Chicago-based Continental Casualty Co., recommended Greenberg to Cornelius Vander Starr, founder of C.V. Starr & Co.   Starr was a former/current intelligence operative with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the modern Central Intelligence Agency, who had run a succesful insurance company in Hong Kong and was utilized tapped by American intelligence officials to operate covert networks in China prior to the Communist Revolution.⁵

Towards the end of Mr. Starr’s life, he took a particular dislike of Mr. Greenberg.  A memo circulated to C.V. Starr shareholders in 1968 said:

Another sign of the effect of Mr. Starr’s illness on him has been his tendency lately to criticise severely or attack almost everybody with whom he works. In recent months, he has criticized Greenberg for being greedy, rough and Jewish; Manton for being stupid; Ahlers for being narrow, bad with people and endangering the UBank in illiquid Latin American investments; Tweedy for being weak and run by Mrs. Tweedy; Roberts as being inadequate to run AIUO worldwide, hence he should share it with Buck Freeman; Freeman for not knowing the business; Stempel for being merely a caretaker and one who could not run and should not run AIRCO; even K.K. he says is no good in recruiting and training people or building replacements. . . . I would hate to hear what he says about “yours truly.”⁶

Overseeing AIG’s Illicit Business Practices

During his tenure as CEO of AIG, Mr. Greenberg greatly expanded the company’s offshore reach, by overseeing the creation of hundreds of shell companies in offshore jurisdictions.

One of the heated criticisms people have made about AIG for many years, and especially since the company confronted its accounting and related crises, is that it is too complicated. 

When Starr was alive there were fewer than 100 companies, many offshore. By the time Greenberg resigned, there were hundreds of companies, again many offshore. Some would argue it is not only complex, but impenetrable to an outsider, and especially to insurance regulators. That has its advantages. Good for dealing with regulators, bad for investors, especially in this age of transparency. Yet to someone familiar with the corporation, the maze really is not so complicated, and Starr clearly was not trying to make it more complicated, especially since the regulatory issues of the 1940s were not what they are today. The overriding issue is that because so many of the companies are incorporated and domiciled offshore, it makes regulators suspicious, and it is true that the elaborate corporate organization chart could provide the means for chicanery.⁷

In 2004, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer brought bid rigging charges against Marsh & McLennan and several insurance companies, including AIG.  At the time of the alleged rigging, the CEO of Marsh & McLennan was Jeffrey W. Greenberg, son of Maurice Greenberg. ⁸

In 2003 and 2004, AIG became embroiled in a series of fraud investigations conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Justice Department, and New York State Attorney General’s Office.  One of the cases, involving PNC Financial Services, involved utilizing AIG’s Financial Products Division to create “special purpose vehicles” for moving $762 million into off-balance-sheet entities to improve the companies fiscal appearance. 

According to Fortune magazine, the board of AIG was particularly bothered by Mr. Greenberg’s “pushing around” regulators during the settlement process.  A group of individuals, including Council on Foreign Relations co-chair Carla Hills and Henry Kissinger, reportedly appealed to the board to not force Mr. Greenberg to leave amid the growing scandals.  On March 13, 2005 Greenberg was reportedly asked to resign in a meeting of AIG’s directors which he attended via periodic phone calls from his yacht, the Serendipity II, off the coast of Florida.⁹  On March 23, 2005 a team sent by Mr. Greenberg’s lawyer used an employee passkey to access the empty office of AIG’s Bermuda operations and removed 80 boxes of documents.

A Christian Science Monitor report in 2005 summarized the case:

American International Group (AIG) – which is part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average – which has now admitted to $1.7 billion in improper accounting. And, it has enveloped some legends in the financial arena: Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, forced out as chairman of AIG, and Warren Buffet, the Omaha stock market guru, who will be questioned about his possible involvement.

Because AIG is so massive and important to the financial world, regulators will have to tread carefully. The company’s main business is providing reinsurance, that is, it insures insurance companies. This helps the industry to spread its risk among many large and financially sound companies so a single event does not become a financial disaster for one company.

Also, because of AIG’s huge size, lawyers don’t think the government will bring a criminal charge against the company as it did for Arthur Andersen, Enron’s accountant. The criminal charge was a death sentence for the accountant.

“There is an increased reluctance to bring criminal charges that ultimately have the effect of killing a company that otherwise employs a lot of innocent people and has lots of value to it,” says Michael Gass, an expert on SEC enforcement at Palmer & Dodge, a Boston law firm. “Instead, there is an increased focus on the individuals responsible.” READ MORE>>

Fearfully, the US Treasury's Secret, 75-Year-Old Fund and Its Dark History Has Been Exposed

Tuesday, December 13, 2011 – by Staff Report

After months of work, the video series on the Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund is finally finished! Why you should watch these five videos: It is impossible to understand the world today without knowing what the ESF is and what it has been doing. Officially in charge of defending the dollar, the ESF is the government agency which controls the New York Fed, runs the CIA's black budget, and is the architect of the world's monetary system (IMF, World Bank, etc).

The Secret Government: The missing history of the CIA - PARTS I & II

We are not entirely in agreement with Prouty's views, notably his comfort levels with the Dulles brothers whom Prouty makes out to be "anti-communists", but are now recognized as key elements of the CFR and the subversion of our independence and merger with a world government.

PART II

An insider explains how we got to where we are today
Leroy Fletcher Prouty (January 24, 1917 – June 5, 2001) served as Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President John F. Kennedy. A former colonel in the United States Air Force, he retired from military service to become a banker, and subsequently became a critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the covert activities of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) about which he had considerable insider knowledge. Prouty, along with Richard Case Nagell, was the inspiration for the character "Mr. X" in Oliver Stone's movie JFK.

Sterilized Foreign Exchange

Intervention: The Fed

Debate in the 1960s

Robert L. Hetzel

[EXCERPT Richmond Fed] 

In early 1962, the Federal Reserve System (the Fed) began to buy and sell foreign currency. The decision to intervene in foreign exchange markets was controversial and generated considerable internal debate. The debate involved the fundamental issue of the Fed’s independence from the Treasury.
 
The Treasury has primary responsibility for official foreign exchange operations in the United States. Hence, participation with the Treasury in foreign exchange operations could jeopardize Fed independence. Moreover, the Federal Reserve Act safeguards this independence by requiring that acquisition of Treasury debt by the Fed be done in the open market, that is, at the Fed’s discretion rather than at the behest of the Treasury. The practice of acquiring foreign exchange directly from the Treasury in support of the Treasury’s operations could erode that safeguard...

US Treasury: Agency of Treason, Subversion and Destroyer of American Independence

Of all the most shocking evidence of our government's corruption, treachery, predatory, subversion, and criminal activities, this 5-Part video series on the ESF and Treasury takes the Gold Medal for reporting. It is truly disturbing to those of us who cherish and wish to preserve the independence of our flagging Republic. Shamefully, these illegal activities have continued for at least the past eighty years!

Many can make the argument that the seeds of corruption originated with Lincoln, and his Rothschild agent, August Belmont. Historians are certainly agreed that the Republican president Grant's administration under southern Reconstruction was the most corrupt of all time. Difficult to believe, huh? As for us we have to conclude that ALL presidents certainly this past century, have been piecemeal destroyers in varying degrees of American independence.

It becomes alarmingly clear how deeply embedded criminals are in our government. We see no recourse for the people other than to throw them all out. With congress now doing the bidding of the capos who control them, what other choice do we have?

The complete 5-Part video series is linked below.  We had a difficult time to watch the complete series. Most of you won't want to see/hear any more!
