Benjamin Fulford

His site is by subscription ($8.00/month), so, I shouldn't quote him.

http://benjaminfulford.net/

I admit, some of the things he says, sound crazy.

But, that doesn't necessarily mean it is all wrong.

My interpretation of what he is saying, is that, the world financial system is going to collapse.

According to Fulford:

1)
The EU is teetering.

2)
In the US, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and, J.P.Morgan, have each moved 81 trillion dollars of derivatives, so that if they (the derivatives) go, "belly up", American taxpayers will be responsible for them, not the three corporations.

You can verify the move for at least Bank of America.

Just Google, "b of a moves derivatives".

Or, here is a link to an article.

of course the world economies will collapse, I am surprised they are still staggering along.
the warning signs are all over, not to mention that the USA is in self destruct, the seconds are ticking.

[danbaron]

Benjamin Fulford publishes one per week, on Mondays.

This week:

The "criminal elements" at the very top of the Western power structure are being prevented from printing any more money.

The result is that the IMF, and the major European and US banks are insolvent.

The governments of Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, etc., know the debts they supposedly owe to banks are fraudulent, and so do not have to be repaid.

That is why the banks just announced that Greece only has to pay back 50% of its debt - can you imagine banks doing that?

The banks are hoping for a taxpayer bailout, which will not occur.

The Rothschild banking nightmare is coming to an end.

Even the "brainwashed" Western financial "experts" are starting to notice that something is wrong.

The banks and governments are saying they will pay for half of the Greek debt, with money they do not have.

They say they will do it by "leveraging" the money they do have.

They don't say who will be stupid enough to "finance a bankrupt gambler who wants to quadruple his risk".

As soon as the "solution" was announced, "high level begging missions" were sent to Asia, including Sarkozy.

The IMF also continues to admit it has no money, the reason being that it is unable to prove that its money comes from legal sources.

The IMF and World Bank will soon be insolvent.

The entire Rothschild banking monopoly is disintegrating.

The controllers of the fiat system are unable to put new money into the system, because, the freeze of their secret, "trading platforms", continues.

The most they can do is to move around the money that is currently in the system.

An extremely senior Chinese official explained that the IMF and World Bank exist to force the Rothschild banking system on all of the countries in the world.

The original system was intended to be run by the Swiss, and enforced by the Americans.

The 100 countries that joined the new system that began in Monaco in August, are going to implement the new system in four stages.

A lawsuit will be filed on November 15 against those who abused the Federal Reserve system.

Liens will be placed against many of the largest financial institutions.

There will be mass arrests.

The entire system will be "rebooted".

The guys have been in power for a long time for a reason. They are smart and understand human nature and they see themselves as the elite class and the rest of us as their slaves. They created the conspiracy of many in the Kennedy Assassination so that they could have other fall guys in case there was a real inquiry. Kennedy wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve and also warned about the danger of secret societies, I think these two are the real reasons he was killed. All involved believed they were doing so on their own behalf, the mafia because of the crackdowns that started under his Presidency, the cubans for the bay of pigs... but these were just groups being used as part of the plan.

Anyways, I digressed... I just wanted to say that I don't think they will go down so easily. A few guys might go to jail at best, but none of the real power guys hidden in the dark shadows. They got away with murder of a popular President when their was still some real media left in the world. The only hope we have is if they wipe each other out in their infighting or leave each other open as a result for all to see.

[danbaron]

It's good, what you wrote.

I can't disagree with anything you said.

I can only hope that we can be successful.

Can you imagine how much easier life would be for most people without them?

This subject is one thing that really makes me angry.

(But apparently, most people either, think we are crazy; are too afraid to comment (the fear could include the thought that posting about this on the Internet could damage their careers); believe the situation is hopeless; are comfortable with the status quo, think their situations will remain good, and don't care about anyone else; or, just don't care at all. And, of course, the possibilities are not mutually exclusive.)

And, this article seems to provide evidence for what Fulford said yesterday, Greece showing the first public signs that it will refuse to pay anything at all.

[kryton9]

The news about Greece was on the news channels this afternoon, I saw it while out and about today. So as you mentioned Dan, he had the scoop on that.

[danbaron]

He claims to have inside information about what is actually going on concerning the world financial disaster, that is hidden from us.

Read it, and decide for yourself.

I don't see any of what he wrote about coming to be, but I wish we could see such moves.

[danbaron]

I don't understand this article.

Maybe it is something.

Maybe it is nothing.

Benjamin Fulford



The United States is a private corporation owned by the British Crown (Rothchilds), the Bank of England (Rothchilds) and the Vatican (Rothchilds again). It was previously called the Virginia Company until 3/9/33 when it was dissolved by Roosevelt under the Emergency Banking Act. On 5/5/33 Congress elected to dissolve the Gold Standard and Sovereign Authority of the U.S. and all of its official capacities including government offices, departments and officers. The U.S. is a corporation, not a nation. The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor a Reserve. It is a private counterfeiting organization run by Jewish bankers who lend the money they print out of thin air at interest while we keep on paying these criminals to fleece the People.

Again, I say to you, nothing is as it seems. It was a shook to you to find that England has not been ruled by sovereigns since 1215, since the reign of King John. The USA is not a free and sovereign nation either. The bankers and bar attorneys in the USA are a franchise, in oath and allegiance to the Crown (which has nothing to do with royalty) at Chancery, Crown Temple Church in London. Look to 1776. Check out this SCAM for yourselves.

The Dark Cabal will produce more ENEMIES that you "must fear and fight at all costs". Do not believe what you will be told, no matter who is telling you. Think what they did ten years ago, to create the excuse to fight totally unjust wars. Be aware of such deceptions — do not fall for them again. No more war. The killing must stop !

http://www.salon.com/2011/11/23/what_endless_war_looks_like/singleton/


The key trick of Endless War is to permanently maintain two contradictory official premises: (1) we’re on the verge of Victory!; and (2) the threat is grave and we cannot let up. Without both of those premises, the citizenry will wonder why endless war is necessary or wise. That’s been the dual-track propaganda that has sustained the Drug War for four decades and counting (yes, we’ve been waging this war for 40 years, but we’re making real progress, but the threat is still so severe that the war must continue into the foreseeable future), and it has been and continues to be the core propaganda that fuels the Terror War. Hence, (1) we have made Al Qaeda “operationally ineffective” and (2) they “will remain a major security threat for years.”

Absolutely, I think wars are fought only for those at the top. The people are tricked into doing the suffering and dying. Wave that flag! Do God's will! The war industry profits, and the people pay.

It's difficult for me to understand those who are happy to enrich themselves from mass scale killings of members of their own species - I can only think, "psychopaths", sadistic psychopaths. (The variation in humans, is unbelievable, isn't it? One thing I have learned, anything the human mind can imagine, and which is possible, both good and bad, someone will do.)

Who could trust such a person, could a family member?

(Remember Joseph Goebbels? As the Russians reached Berlin, the coward killed himself and his wife. He had six young children. Of course, without his presence, their lives would not be worth living - he was such a narcissist, that he killed them too. Interestingly, the top Nazis, responsible for so many deaths, were cowards. At least Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler, committed suicide. How many fled to South America? Mengele, Eichmann.. So fearless when deciding the fates of others, so timid when, "the tables were turned". Could it be that they could not tolerate the prospect of the humiliation they would experience, if tried? Does the proudest man live in constant terror of being humiliated?)

In my opinion, we are in the midst of an era in which war is an industry, a runaway industry. Can it be stopped?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For sure, I agree about the Federal Reserve.

But, I don't understand the things about England and America secretly being legally owned by others. Presumably, these, "others", are a very small group of people. How could they keep it secret? How could they get so many people to cooperate?

I can think of it like this. Say, I have a piece of paper that makes me the legal owner of the United States. What good would it do me? Unless I have the power to back my piece of paper, it's just a piece of paper. What can I do? Take the United States to the Hague (ICC)?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wouldn't a real, "kick in the pants" be, if, for instance, Montague Keen (I chose him only for dramatic effect.), was a disseminator for the Dark Cabal?

Who, if anyone, is trustworthy?

[Charles Pegge]

Who, if anyone, is trustworthy?
(http://galacticchannelings.of-the-light.com/community/thread-150.html)


... yet we do need to get something very clear. We have but five weeks left until the end of the year ... call me old fashioned ... but down here upon Earth when someone promises something to someone ... it is considered polite to see that promise through. If one doesn't, then one tends to lose faith in that which has been promised and one's Trust in the 'promiser' tends to wane a little.

(http://galacticchannelings.of-the-light.com/community/thread-150.html)

[danbaron]

I had already read her message, but, I didn't see the responses to it in the forum.

Usually, for any phenomenon, the simplest explanation which satisfies the data, is correct, yes or no?

Isn't the simplest explanation, that Blossom is a fraud (whether or not she knows it)?

That is simpler than concluding the ETs are unreliable, yes?

Because, if Blossom is a fraud, then, no ETs are required, and, that is simpler.

Just from glancing at the forum, my impression is of cult type personalities, who are blind to possibilities which challenge their entire belief systems.

Instead of looking at the "forest" in its entirety, they obsess about particular leaves.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The overall message of the galactic channelings, is one of hope, so, it is appealing.

But, if there is no reality behind it, then, I think it will gradually die.

If it all is fiction, then, my speculation is that some of the perpetrators know it, and, some don't.

The ones who know it will never say so, because, they are receiving some form of powerful gratification from perpetuating the fraud.

The ones who don't know it will never say so, because, they don't know.

If all of it (and similarly with Kryon) was publicly pronounced to be fiction, the stories would still be pleasant.

But, a large proportion of the interest would die, because, adults don't seek hope in fiction - escape, yes; hope, no.

Actually, I think my previous sentence is partially false.

For most people, pretending is preferable to suicide - in other words, hope (even if the hope is, to be saved by leprechauns) will survive in almost any circumstance.

Who can prove that leprechauns do not exist?

(Without hope, who would frequent this (thinBasic) forum?)

[Charles Pegge]

Some context:

THE OLIVER SHOW WITH GUEST BLOSSOM GOODCHILD


re: 14 Oct 2008


http://thefederationoflight.ning.com/forum/topics/blossom-goodchilds-interview

[danbaron]

I read the interview.

One impression I do have is that, a New Age believer (and even more so, a New Age Channeler), who is not in a relatively comfortable financial situation, is very very rare.

If I am correct, I wonder why that is?

I think the same could be said for the financial situations of spiritualists at the end of the 19th century.

I think it is a lot easier to send out, "energy beams of love", when you don't live with the constant prospect of extinction due to lack of money.

Most people are no longer farmers, --> sooner or later, "no money", equals, "no food, no shelter, no transportation, no healthcare, no social interaction", yes?

And, it's a lot easier to feel love for the oppressors, to feel that, "they know not what they do", when, you in particular are not being targeted - and by, "targeted", I mean, the group at the top of the pyramid trying to make you and those you care about, die, no matter how stealthily it proceeds.

I would like to see a New Age believer who suddenly became destitute, placidly sit on the ground starving to death, secure in the knowledge that he/she volunteered for the situation, and that it is all for, "love".

(The "game" can go on as long as there are listeners, right? A promise made, a promise broken, an explanation, a promise made..)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something else that is starting to irritate me:

Steve Beckow has deeply invested his credibility into his belief in the internal goodness of Obama.

I've read a lot of articles related to Obama, and the descriptors that resonate with me are, "careerist", and, "corporatist".

It seems to me that to follow Beckow, "down the yellow brick road", a person would have to discount his own reasoning about the available data.

It's strange to me, when people doubt Obama, Beckow responds like he carries the tedious burden of having to once again lecture small children about something that should be obvious, like, "I've told you a million times, if you put your hand in a flame, you will be burned.".

Could it be that there is a big ego there, and/or, an indicator of being, "cuckoo"?

I think he exhibits certitude.

Is it ever rational to be certain about anything at all?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like their, "story", to be true.

(On the other hand, my experience is that first impressions are usually correct. My first impression of the New Age movement was that, it was just a new version of religion - but not more objectively true. What is the fundamental difference between believing that an invisible Jesus is watching and will save us, and believing that invisible spaceships are watching and will save us? At this point I can start again down the, "road", about it being impossible, according to the theory of Relativity, to attain the speed of light. And then we're, "off to the races", about asking the question, how did spaceships from other stars get here? Someone could say, "through higher dimensions", and, we cannot prove the hypothesis is false. But, to my cynical mind, we also cannot prove that, leprechauns do not exist.)

As I said before, I think the human body is composed of approximately 100 trillion cooperating cells (how many for an elephant?).

I have hope that they (animals' too) exist for an objectively important purpose.

I have hope that, consciousness, is the fundamental substance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing I would like to know, are these visitors from other planets/stars, constructed from atoms?

If they are, then, we can begin to ask a lot of questions, like, how can SaLuSa be from a binary star system (Sirius)?

What is the shape of the stable orbit of the planet in the binary star system on which SaLuSa resides?

What is the temperature range on that planet?

What is the scientific explanation for channeling (this question applies no matter what the visitors are comprised of)?

If SaLuSa is now near Earth, how did he get here (Sirius is 8.6 light years from Earth)?

Etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it that Montague Keen regularly communicates, but, John Mack doesn't?

A cynic might say it is because, Montague Keen is easier to impersonate.

If I am correct, Montague Keen is channeled by his wife - if true, is that reasonable cause for suspicion?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are the aliens able to understand human slang?

Some of the channelers publish their conversations with the visitors.

I remember a channeler recently saying in one such conversation, "Do you understand where I'm coming from?".

How would the aliens know what that phrase ("where I'm coming from") means?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think there are ways that the ETs could prove their existence without manifesting.

They could be asked to solve a particular math problem (it's easy to start with the answer, and construct a numerical problem which no one can solve).

They could be asked to decrypt a coded message.

With their super-advanced technology, these tasks should be easy, yes?

But, I bet providing this kind of proof will never be proposed by any of the channelers.

A cynical person might speculate that, the reason is, if in reality the channeler is, "playing both parts", then, nothing can come out of a channeling which is beyond the channeler's capacity.

So, it seems to me that once a person turns on his skeptical mode, it can quickly, "snowball", into a, "runaway freight train".

Additionally, from the skeptical viewpoint, an outsider's perception of New Age believers, can quickly change from, enlightened, to, some combination of narcissism, and, an unconscious survival mechanism of the ego (the apparent reality is intolerable, so, a new reality is invented).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Otherwise, the universe is a wonderful place, and, it is an honor and a privilege, to be a conscious part of it!

[Charles Pegge]

How about posing a question on Pi digits? :)


Blossom Goodchild terminates her contract with the Federation.

http://galacticchannelings.of-the-light.com/community/thread-175.html

[danbaron]

To me, the question is, who is she conversing with?

If she is conversing with herself, and, she doesn't know it, how would she be classified?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, here is the latest post by Benjamin Fulford.

http://stevebeckow.com/2011/11/benjamin-fulford-11-28-11-chaos-prevails-at-the-highest-levels-of-government-in-the-west/

I bet most people would say that both he and Blossom Goodchild reside at the same place, "Cuckooland".

It seems to me that, like Blossom, he keeps predicting events which don't happen.

The difference being that, he doesn't, "look back".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a movie, right?, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of today I think, if you want to make money, always bet against every event with an assigned deadline, predicted by Benjamin Fulford or any of the galactic channelers.

I see them in a difficult situation - if they never predict dates, they just say a certain event will happen, "sometime", then, most people will lose interest.

If they supply dates, and the events don't happen, then, most people will lose interest.

[danbaron]

I guess I cannot resist playing amateur psychiatrist.

So, I could be analyzed too.

Anyway, with respect to Blossom Goodchild (Does that seem like a real name? Maybe, in Australia, it is not strange.), the following description comes to my mind.

(Certainly, part of my hostility is due to the fact that I view my own situation as being difficult. When I feel less pressure, I seem to become more tolerant, and, vice versa.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder

[Charles Pegge]

Histrionic Personality Disorder. A terrible affliction often suffered by opera divas and film stars :)

This may be be a better fit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healer_(Role_Variant)

There are two mp3 audios which are definitely worth sampling:

Interview with Joe Pena


http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/EnlightenMe-BlossomGoodchild.mp3


Speaking as White Cloud


http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/001_A_007_Blossom_wctalkblibli_2011_08_27.mp3

[danbaron]

I'll see if I can download and listen to the mp3s.

They can't be that big, with just audio, right?

But, here's how I view things now.

She (Blossom) thinks she is communicating telepathically with others.

To me, either she is, or, she isn't, I don't see anything in between.

If she is communicating telepathically with others, then, who can find anything wrong with her?

But, if she isn't communicating telepathically with others, then, I think that is a different situation.

Especially since, she publishes her interactions on the Internet.

Probably at least 1% of the population would be classified as, "healers", but, what percentage of them claim to be able to communicate telepathically with beings not of this planet?

And, what percentage of those, would be certain enough, to publish the messages, in order to expose her convictions to as many people as possible?

I admit that we can never determine whether or not she is actually doing what she claims.

But, still, her claim is either true or false.

So, she can be assessed based on one of two possibilities.

I guess it is a matter of opinion, if someone who wrongly believes she is doing what Blossom says she does, is emotionally healthy.

To me, in that case, something is wrong.

Hysterical personality? - I'm not an expert, and, I've only read what she has written.

------------------------------------------------------------

I think the same could be said for all of the channelers.

We have to consider the possibility that they are communicating with only themselves.

If none of their predictions ever materialize, that reinforces the possibility.

I think that, whether something is true, is independent of how many people believe it to be true.

One person doing an experiment, carries more weight than a billion people believing something without corroborating data.

------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of religious (I would classify the New Age movement as psychologically very close to a religion.) beliefs come and go.

If I am correct, never have any of them been unequivocally demonstrated to be true.

When a prediction is made with a date, that is usually the belief's, "death knell".

A hundred years from now, the New Age movement may be viewed similarly to the 19th century spiritualism movement.

Spiritualism used/uses, "mediums", the New Age uses, "channelers".

Are these two types of communicators, fundamentally different?

Could it be that ETs are the beings the channelers happen to claim to communicate with, only because of the age we live in?

[danbaron]

I would like the channelings to be genuine.

But..

I started listening to Blossom as White Cloud: http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/001_...2011_08_27.mp3

White Cloud: http://thefederationoflight.ning.com/group/whitecloud

During it, White Cloud says that the body is just a vehicle for the soul.

In that case, why does White Cloud still seem to have his old vehicle (He speaks like a tired old man.)?

And, of course, during the channeling, White Cloud uses the word, "vibrations", many times.

Does it seem like that word comes from someone who has been dead for 500 years, or Blossom?

He also use the phrase, "shower screen".

Is someone dead for so long likely to use that phrase, or, does he keep himself up to date on the current vernacular?

From Blossom's website: http://www.blossomgoodchild.com/


In addition to her spiritual work Blossom is also a wonderful actress, whose experience includes touring the UK in repertoires and musicals. Since immigrating to Australia in 2001 and settling in Noosa with her husband Goody and son Ritchie, she has firmly established herself as one of the finest actresses on the Sunshine Coast. Blossom has performed the one-woman show ‘Shirley Valentine’ as well as major roles in several David Williamson plays for the Noosa Long Weekend. She took on the challenging roles as the lead in ‘The Gingerbread Lady’ in which she won Best Actress and Performer of the Year for the Sunshine Coast Theatre Alliance STAR awards. She returned to the musical stage in Ian Mackellar’s ‘Now That’s Entertainment’ and has just finished performing in a world premiere season in Noosa in a new musical called MOMENTS, which was written for her and her co performer . Blossom is hoping to tour Australia with this production as and when the universe provides!!

(I guess since the above quote is written in the third person, we are supposed to believe that someone other than Blossom wrote it.)

"wonderful actress", "one-woman show" - could those be mistaken for when White Cloud speaks through her?

And, actresses are not prone to being histrionic?

In fact, what would psychiatrists classify as a better example of hysteria, than, a woman in front of an audience, believing that the old man's voice coming out of her mouth, is actually that of a dead American Indian? (Maybe, a better example would be, if, during her performance, she suddenly exclaimed, "I'm blind!".)

There's more.

Again, from her website:


Allow me to rewind ... For twenty years I had been suffering with a peculiar ailment which neither any kind of doctor or myself could put a name to, and therefore it seemed I had to be suffering from stress! The fact that in general when the symptoms arose, I was feeling positive and on top of the world, did not seem to change their attitude in any way. I saw all kinds of medical whizzes, underwent numerous tests for epilepsy, brain scans, pills and still nobody could find the answer. I seemed to be experiencing some form of attack, where I would have a series of build up symptoms, followed inevitably by collapsing into a sort of semi coma. Rather unfortunate and at times depending on where I was, rather embarrassing!

Then I met a very gifted clairvoyant. During a ‘reading' with her, White Cloud appeared and I was able to ask him questions. The attacks I was having at the time were getting me down, so I asked what was causing them. The answer was simple. Apparently I would get a build up of healing energy and because it was not being used consistently, it would reach a peak of explosion and conk me out. When I was in the collapsed state, I was aware of everything that was going on; I just couldn’t open my eyes or move, to let everybody know I was fine..

And, now from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder


People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and professionally. People with histrionic personality disorder usually have good social skills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_skills), but they tend to use these skills to manipulate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_manipulation) other people and become the center of attention.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder#cite_note-Cleveland-0) Furthermore, histrionic personality disorder may affect a person's social or romantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_%28love%29) relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures. They may seek treatment for depression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_depression) when romantic relationships end, although this is by no means a feature exclusive to this disorder.

They often fail to see their own personal situation realistically, instead tending to dramatize and exaggerate their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustration). Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression.

Additional symptoms include:



Exhibitionist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibitionist) behavior.
Constant seeking of reassurance or approval.
Excessive dramatics with exaggerated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaggerated) displays of emotions, such as hugging someone they have just met or crying uncontrollably during a sad movie (Svrakie & Cloninger, 2005).
Excessive sensitivity to criticism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism) or disapproval.
Proud of own personality, unwillingness to change and any change is viewed as a threat.
Inappropriately seductive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seductive) appearance or behavior.
Somatic symptoms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatoform_disorder), and using these symptoms as a means of garnering attention.
A need to be the center of attention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_seeking).
Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_gratification).
Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear superficial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial) or exaggerated to others.
Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are.
Making rash decisions.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder#cite_note-Cleveland-0)

And, now from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatoform_disorder


The somatoform disorders are actually a group of disorders, all of which fit the definition of physical symptoms that mimic physical disease or injury for which there is no identifiable physical cause.

In my opinion, the main reason most people don't suspect Blossom of being cuckoo, and some people don't publicly accuse her of being cuckoo, is because she is financially successful.

In our world today, that fact trumps everything else.

(Maybe I'm wrong, but, this seems pretty easy.)

For those have 90 minutes to spare. I'd also recommend the interview with Kerry Cassidy.

Benjamin Fulford is kidnapped in Japan by quasi-CIA operatives, David Wilcock gets a death threat for helping to spill the beans, and is assured protection by a mysterious off-world caller with an unplaceable (Irish/Australian/Scandanavian??) accent.

[kryton9]

Ben wrote that he was not kidnapped, but went away to meet an individual for a private meeting out by a stream in a valley.
I also listened to a short video from Coast to Coast, David sounds like he is OK. That the 3 day period has passed and he has enough hits on his site to make killing him off less likely.

I just finished reading this article. He mentions that most of the US debt will be written off. That strikes me as not possible unless all the countries in debt have their debts written off and a total world restructuring is done a'la the New World Order's plan for acceptance of their rule. Greece's debt is nothing compared to the US and look at how markets reacted to it?

On the other hand, it is so hard to figure out what is happening. How can any one person sift through the misinformation, lies, truths and cooped truths for wrongful deeds and report on it. He does a good job.

I suspect handing out large sums of money to everybody would cause massive inflation.

[danbaron]

It would for resources, the quantity of which remained fixed.

However, not for resources, the quantity of which simultaneously increased proportionately.

[kryton9]

I read elsewhere of his arrest and release, but no confirmation. I also keep reading on ATS that bank executives keep resigning in droves, but only there and nowhere else. Something is going on. If Bill Gates and Bush Sr, can get arrested or even questioned and it is covered up by the media, than they can cover anything up. I can't believe something like that could happen without someone in media seeing how big that is and letting it out. At least, you would think so.

[danbaron]

If this report was my first exposure to Fulford, probably I would guess that he was a paranoid schizophrenic, or something similar.

Even if I want them to be, how could most, or even any of his claims be true?

He made one scientific claim, Toyota making cars that get 300 mpg, I wonder if that is even theoretically possible, considering wind resistance, etc.

Is there any proof that anything he has ever claimed has actually happened?

Are looks always deceiving?

[kryton9]

Dan, here is an interesting video. It talks of facts, conspiracies and the fact that an attorney has filed suits on behalf of the dragon families. It looks like there is something there mixed with lots of fiction on purpose to help cover it up in my opinion. Trying to report on such matters would not only drive one crazy, but I am sure with the disinformation put out to make anyone look like they are nuts that look into it.

[danbaron]

Unfortunately, I still cannot watch videos, because of my slow connection.

So, I miss a lot.

But, I wonder if it is only a matter of time before, people who are able to read will be rare.

If you notice, since everything in our capitalistic world is for profit, everything is adjusted to suit the exact middle of the IQ curve (100).

Therefore, people with functional brains are forced to endure what pleases relative idiots.

----------------------------------------------------------

I hope as much as possible of what Fulford reports is true.

But, my life experience tells me not to, "hold my breath".

My experience is that, at least for most of the people in this country (United States), life makes you cynical about the prospect of positive change which moves faster than a glacier.

And, absolutely, I bet that overall since WWII, most of the people in the industrialized countries have experienced net negative change.

My guess is that if all the citizens knew the extent of the corruption in this country, a large percentage would immediately drop dead from horror and revulsion.

The older I get, the more clearly I think I see.

Whether or not I am correct is another question.

But, for instance, now I view military people as having personalities arrested at the development level of Boy Scouts - to me, that's why they love their uniforms, insignias of rank, and "merit" badges.

[kryton9]

It is very easy to feel negative reading the news and about world events. That is why I walked away from it. Well, it is not a daily thing for me anymore. More like a weekly, ok I'll take a look kind of deal. You do end up feeling better. At least with youtube(video sites in general) you get to see all the cool things humans do that you don't see in the mainstream media. There are way more positives in the world than negatives. It is just presented the other way around unfortunately by the media and tv talking heads.

[danbaron]

Usually each week's newsletter by Benjamin Fulford is posted at http://stevebeckow.com/ , but, at least so far, not this week.

Maybe Benjamin Fulford is becoming too far out, even for Steve Beckow. (Apparently, Beckow is not going to omment. I wonder why.)

At Fulford's website, you have to pay $8 per month to see the entire newsletter, but here is the beginning of this week's.

(I wonder if Fulford is, crazy, scamming, and/or working for someone else.)

Is this the real Emperor of Japan?
Naoshi Onodera holding what he claims is an 8000 year old Sumerian object, the Japanese imperial “Jewel.”

Naoshi Onodera claims he is the legal and rightful emperor of Japan and that Emperor Akihito is descended from a group of illegitimate pretenders who were put up as puppet rulers by foreign cabalists who use the Satanic star as their symbol. He says the sitting emperor is using fake replicas of the three ancient imperial treasures used to justify his position on the throne. These items are known as the jewel, the sword and the mirror and are said to be the oldest inherited items on earth. The real ones are in his possession and he is willing to have scholars and legal experts verify this and other evidence, Onodera says. This is an extremely important claim because it is intimately connected to the start-up of the new financial system and the possibility of fundamental regime change in Japan.

This is bizarre!




The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is now in Africa forcing families at gunpoint to accept the sterilization by vaccine of their daughters. In North America, Japan and elsewhere the mass sterilization by vaccine is taking place under the guise of protecting girls against cervical cancer. Message to Bill Gates: your company and foundation are going to be confiscated and you are going to spend the rest of your life making restitution.



I prefer this version of reality:

Bill Gates on Overpopulation and Global Poverty


Bill Gates responds to the question "Will combating global poverty contribute to overpopulation?" Gates explains reducing poverty will help reduce the population growth rate, citing the work of Hans Rosling
-The Borgen Project


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAG5V7x17A&feature=related

[danbaron]

I'm biased against Bill Gates (but, I didn't watch the video).

I remember the long history of the ruthlessness of Microsoft.

A corporation's actions originate at the top, correct?

I didn't like Steve Jobs either, but, before he died, didn't he say he thought there was something fundamentally wrong with Bill Gates?

In that case what can be said about Gates' wife - "Birds of a feather..".

-------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, apparently, either Benjamin Fulford is wrong or lying, or, Bill Gates is lying.

But, there was recently a guy on our radio show who said, and I agree, that population growth decreases when poverty decreases.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I think by now we can agree that there are very powerful people whose public personas are antithetical to their actual selves.

It seems the only way we can determine the truth is by doing all we can to monitor their actions.

Of course, those who have things to hide, will do all they can to prevent us from being able to see what they are really doing.

"In the US, the Pentagon has begun asking citizens to stock up with 72 hours’ worth of food because of possible disruptions associated with the imminent replacement of the US dollar with a new Treasury dollar, according to CIA sources in California."

I'm a citizen, who lives in California, and, the Pentagon hasn't asked me to do anything.

Maybe it will visit me today, yes?

"The arrest of Bill Gates, the announcement in an Italian paper that the pope will resign on April 15th, and the presence of a US marshal accompanying cabal operatives like Timothy Geithner are all signs that very little, if any, opposition remains."

From: http://the2012scenario.com/2012/03/benjamin-fulford-it-is-time-to-storm-the-bastille-vive-la-revolution/#more-102905

Was Bill Gates arrested?

Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter, because, the big news is that the pope will resign this Sunday, right?

It seems to me that, minimally, Fulford is "missing a few screws".

-----------------------------------------------------------

And, absolutely, I wonder if all of the Galactic Channelings, come from the same pile of bullcrap.

Charles said, that maybe they all should be viewed as pure fantasy.

But, to me, in that case, they should be indicated as such.

It's hard for me to believe that the channelers are so deluded that, they never doubt themselves.

Yet, instead of ever publicly expressing self-skepticism about whether they are actually communicating with anyone other than themselves, their channelings constantly make excuses for the delays and failures of predictions in their previous channelings.

Their consciences don't seem to be bothering them.

I guess there are two possibilities for why that might be so: they are scamming, probably in the sense that they get emotional gratification from being a "channeler", so, in a sense they are addicted to the process (I doubt they are benefiting much financially.); or, they are really delusional. Of course, they could be a combination of the two. And, of course, the reason(s) varies with the person. (And, I have to admit, the probability is greater than zero, that they are actually in telepathic communication with advanced beings.)

Cynically, I can imagine that there is a group channeler mentality. They read what each other write. They all work to reinforce the general storyline. They employ magical thinking - "There are so many of us, intelligent and perceptive, we must be doing what we think we are doing.". I'm again reminded of cults.

I'll bet, many of the 19th century spiritualists, were true believers.

The quote below is an example of what makes me really wonder if Fulford is nuts.

Who can make sense of it?

"In relation to this, the White Dragon Society was asked to relay the following message: A US agency “cleaner,” by the name of “Leftie,” has been sent to Italy to “remove scum.” Presumably this refers to the hygienic risk posed by clumps of bacteria to be found in Italian public facilities."
