Fukushima- Update by Dutchsinse

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Dutchsinse for putting together this very succinct run down of everything that happened during the past 24 hours with this story of the Fukushima fires.  Dutch outlines all the info and points a finger at the perpetrators of this hoax- because a hoax it is.

 To my readers, I apologize for fanning the flame of this hoax.  On the surface it looked legit, with dates on the reports coinciding with yesterday's date. In future I will try to vet out information like this more thoroughly.

 To the Perps..... you people disgust me.  We live in a world where we are lied to continuously by the main stream media and the governments and social and religious leaders.  When people wake up to this reality, they turn to other sources to get the truth.  WE, the alternative media, are suppose to bring the truth into the spotlight, not create pretend hype and drama, and perpetuate the fear mongering. Those of us who take this responsibility very seriously now have to deal with the clean up of this mess, and do what we can to repair the reputation of our sites and the alternative media genre in general. If cybertribe network and propheticseer think that this is the way to get traffic to their site, then they might as well go write articles for CNN and FOX news.

 As for me, I'll never click on their sites again.








10/23/2012 — Fukushima Reactor #4 fire HOAX — Cybertribenetwork the source / Propheticseer responsible for major panic

 by 
HOAX-Busters !  Fukushima false reactor fire story …. caused major panic … all traced back to one source!
Cybertribenetwork….
Im not doing this to be mean.. but blame MUST be put at the feet of those who made the hoax, caused false alarm, and duress to thousands.
————
THE ANATOMY OF THE Cybertribenetwork FUKUSHIMA HOAX
The whole cybertribenetwork Fukushima Reactor Fire HOAX started yesterday — Oct 21 going into Oct 22 2012 — cybertribenetwork started the whole thing by taking (and misrepresenting) an interview with Arnie Gunderson (recorded on Oct 21, talking about events from the WEEK BEFORE, where Gunderson was talking about a SMALL fire that happened outside of Fukushima).
A small fire occurred last week outside the fukushima plant — no radiation was released , and the fire was put out within the hour it started in the grass around the facility.
Full Arnie Gunderson interview is here:
Cybertribenetwork (robert propheticseer) then took the above interview.. spliced a few seconds out of it where Gunderson was talking about the small fire that was put out days earlier… and then cybertribenetwork PUT OUT THIS FALSE PICTURE of an oil refinery burning while passing it off to godlikeproductions, youtube, etc.. as being FUKUSHIMA REACTOR 4 burning currently !!!!!  totally false!
link to that bogus cybertribe video here:

Here is the original picture cybertribenetwork ripped off / posted as  Fukushima burning..http://www.businessinsider.com/japan-reactors-pose-no-risk-2011-3
This picture above was made into the original video that was cross posted by cybertribenetwork at godlikeproductions.. causing the massive scare yesterday..
Of course it was all a hoax made up by Robert Hauck , PropheticSeer , Cybertribenetwork.
links to the original false godlikeproductions threads: posted within minutes of cybertribenetwork uploading to youtube
————
That is where I came into the picture.  Got a phone call and text message to wake up and see whats going on.. that reports are coming in that Fukushima Reactor 4 is ON FIRE.
I immediately went to the live feeds (links I have for fukushima that most people don’t have — since I covered this from day 1)
Nothing showed at all.. regular day / night of cleanup on camera live streaming.. no smoke, no explosion, no fumes.. nothing.  Then I saw the fake news/pics/links from cybertribe popping up across the net…
So I posted the links here on facebook for all to see… along with this post:
Indeed there was NO FIRE at fukushima reactor 4, and also the picture used by cybertribe/seer was a fake one:
cams that I linked up :
———————
Cybertribenetwork was obviously monitoring my facebook page.. since they didn’t have the link to the Fukushima cams prior — as soon as I posted the link saying NO FIRE is occurring… cybertribenetwork/robert then took a video from the youtube http://www.youtube.com/fuku1live feed —— posted it in Godlikeproductions and on youtube saying they SEE FIRE and FUMES !!
here is a link to that bogus video of “fumes”:

———————
In reality, this above video shows no fire, no fumes, no smoke, or plume.. the distortion propheticseer/cybertribenetwork reported as ‘fumes’ is NOTHING but ‘mirage effect’ of wind and moisture over a distance (fukushima cam looks on the whole facility at a distance.. wind off the ocean causes the ‘wavy’ look in the cam)  .. this is seen EVERY day on the cams.. it is NOT FUMES OR FIRE !    even a cursory overview of the other videos from the place he took this vid, show what Im talking about.
After I posted a debunk of the “fumes” on facebook.. cybertribenetwork/seer began to refer to me by name “dutchsinse” in several comments below his videos..  (notice what he says about me below the false picture video he put out) — meaning he is fully aware at this point the information he is putting out is 100% false.. since he is referencing my facebook posts with the links showing NO FIRE in reactor 4.
Notice he’s referring to me in MORE than just one video — again meaning he is aware of what Im saying and showing .. yet he carries on with the hoax — renaming the video “Fukushima smoking up” and then posting IT AGAIN across godlikeproductions, abovetopsecret, and across youtube channels
Then, the same anonymous person in godlikeproductions posted THIS link ..http://www.deccanherald.com/content/145051/japan-warns-radiation-leak-quake.html
simultaneously posting it on cybertribenetwork.com
look at the timestamp of the above deccan herald article !!!  cybertribe put this out as “breaking news” (turns out this is from march 2011 )
original link to the bogus “confirmation report” put out by cybertribenetwork:
the links title , and the cybertribenetwork.com post BOTH said:
quote “BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CYBERTRIBE:  Japan confirms explosion and radiation leakage”
here is the text of the post made on cybertribenetwork as BREAKING NEWS — supposed “confirmation of explosion”:
——-
“Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano confirmed on Saturday there has been an explosion and radiation leakage at Tokyo Electric Power Co’s (TEPCO) (9501.T) Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
“We are looking into the cause and the situation and we’ll make that public when we have further information,” Edano said.
“At present, we think 10 km evacuation is appropriate.”
Japan earlier in the day warned of a meltdown at a reactor at the plant, damaged when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast, but said the risk of radiation contamination was small.”
Edano also said that Japan has expanded the evacuation area around the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant. “
——-
This above article — IS FROM MARCH 12, 2011 !
OVER A YEAR OLD !!  from when fukushima first exploded last year after the earthquake.
They ripped off and posted this this old text from reuters:
———-
Keep in mind, this whole time, I am posting the information on facebook (still viewable on my main dutchsinse facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dutchsinse/296574443728320 )
Propheticseer / cybertribe network was well aware at this point that the picture they had up, and the articles they had up were either 100% false, or 100% Old recycled news that was not accurate.
Literally, the information provided, and obviously reviewed by cybertribenetwork / propheticseer, debunked the fire, debunked the picture, and debunked the ‘confirmation’ old article from  2011…

$*&%$*# !!!!!!!! Blogger! grrrrrrrrrr

   

Just a quick note to my readers.  I am, yet again, fighting with this stupid blogger/Blogspot account.  Some comments are taking 24 hours, or longer, before I get notification of them.  Some of them have suddenly vanished after I click publish - and by that I mean real comments, not the troll dung that I've deliberately deleted.  And as of yesterday, there are several comments that I cannot reply to.  Yes, apparently Blogger is not allowing me to respond to the comments on my own blog.

Strange fact #1: did you know that there is pretty much no possible way to contact anyone from blogger/blogspot for technical help?

So please have patience with me, besides being swamped with comments- which I genuinely appreciate, I'm once again dealing with the ridiculous imbecility of Blogger.

....Oh Blogger, How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways....

I so look forward to the day that I can afford to hire someone to transfer all the articles I've written here over to a brand spankin' new site that I will have full control of!

Anyway, I'm finished complaining and whining for today. I'll just shut up and go sit in the corner and sulk.

I will be posting an update in a few hours.  I'm just waiting for confirmation on a few things and one update.  See ya soon!

The World looses an extraordinary activist: Russell Means




Indigenous people and human rights activists around the world mourn the loss of an amazing man. Russell Means spent the vast majority of his 72 years on this earth fighting for justice and the Rights of America's First Nations Indian peoples. The LA Times called him the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.
 Russell Means has lived a life like few others in this century - revered for his selfless accomplishments and remarkable bravery. He was born into a society and guided by way of life that gently denies the self in order to promote the survival and betterment of family and community. His culture is driven by tradition, which at once links the past to the present.
The L.A. Times has called him the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. His indomitable sense of pride and leadership has become embedded in our national character. Today, his path has brought him to Hollywood, thus enabling him to use different means to communicate his vital truths. Through the power of media, his vision is to create peaceful and positive images celebrating the magic and mystery of his American Indian heritage. In contemplating the fundamental issues about the world in which we live, he is committed to educating all people about our most crucial battle - the preservation of the earth.
Continue reading the accomplishments of Russell  HERE


 Means was strongly involved in the creation of the Republic of Lakota, which declared it's self a sovereign nation in December of 2007.

The Lakotah’s 158 Year Long Struggle for Justice

In December of 2007, the Republic of Lakotah was formed by the formal withdrawal from its Treaties of 1851 and 1868. This was the latest step in the longest running legal battle in the history of the World.
This was not a “cessation” from the United States, but a completely lawful “unilateral withdrawal” from the Treaties as permitted under the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, of which, the United States is a signatory.
The purpose of the Republic of Lakotah is to follow the Instructions given by the Elders at the first International Indian Treaty Council in 1974. The Council held a “Western Hemisphere” Conference at Wakpala on the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation. Over 5000 delegates of 97 Indigenous Peoples from the Americas gathered. The “manifesto” that was created on that occasion supports the rights of all Indigenous Peoples to live free and take whatever actions are necessary to uphold our sovereignty. This was the largest gathering of Indian People in the 20th Century where Indians paid their own way.
It was here that the Declaration of Continuing Independence was created. The conference was attended by numerous elders, including Chief Frank Fools Crow, pictured left. These were not your ordinary elders; most of them were born in the 1800’s to parents who had been born free, they had never been to schools. The majority spoke no English, and the rest spoke broken English. Russell Means was made a permanent trustee of the International Indian Treaty Council by the elders and the conference.
These Elders Gave the Conference and the Newly Formed International Treaty Council Two Mandates:
1. The first mandate was to become recognized by the International Communities. On September 2007, when the United Nations passed the Declaration of Indigenous Rights, that mandate was fulfilled.
2. We were to remember the words of Noble Red Man (Matthew King, pictured below), “We must always remember that we were once a free People, if we don’t, we shall cease to be Lakotah.” This second mandate is to return to our original status as free and Independent Nations. On December 17, 2007, the Lakotah Freedom Delegation presented to the Department of State of the United States of America, we are unilaterally withdrawing from all Treaties and Agreements entered into between the United States of America and Lakotah.
Leading up to the 2007 Unilateral Treaty Withdrawal, Russell traveled all over the five state area meeting with key people over a seven month period. Now in his seventieth winter, he is working on achieving better conditions for the Indian people for over forty years. Russell was appointed by the conference and the elders as a permanent trustee of the Indian Treaty Council.

Russell Means, Indian activist, actor, dies at 72

By DIRK LAMMERS and KRISTI EATON | Associated Press – 18 hrs ago
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Russell Means never shunned attention. Whether leading Native Americans in railing against broken federal treaties, appearing in a Hollywood blockbuster or advocating a sovereign American Indian nation within U.S. borders, the activist who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee reveled in the spotlight.
But it was only on his terms. Openly critical of mainstream media, the onetime leader of the American Indian Movement often refused interviews and verbally blasted journalists who showed up to cover his public appearances. Instead, he chose to speak to his fan base through YouTube videos and blog posts on his personal website.
When he did speak out publicly, he remained steadfast in his defense of AIM. He found himself dogged for decades by questions about the group's alleged involvement in the slaying of a tribe member and the several gun battles with federal officers during the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee, but denied the group ever promoted violence.
"You people who want to continue to put AIM in this certain pocket of illegality, I can't stand you people," Means said, lashing out an at audience member question during an April gathering commemorating the uprising's 40th anniversary. "I wish I was a little bit healthier and a little bit younger, because I wouldn't just talk."
Means, who announced in August 2011 that he had developed inoperable throat cancer but told The Associated Press he was forgoing mainstream medical treatments in favor of traditional American Indian remedies, died early Monday at his ranch in in Porcupine, S.D., Oglala Sioux Tribespokeswoman Donna Salomon said. He was 72.
Born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Means grew up in the San Francisco area before becoming an early leader of AIM. He often was embroiled in controversy, partly because of AIM's alleged involvement in the 1975 slaying of Annie Mae Aquash.
But Means also was known for his role in the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" and had run unsuccessfully for the Libertarian nomination for president in 1988.
AIM was founded in the late 1960s to protest the U.S. government's treatment of Native Americansand demand the government honor its treaties with Indian tribes. Means told the AP in 2011 that before AIM, there had been no advocate on a national or international scale for American Indians, and that Native Americans were ashamed of their heritage.
"No one except Hollywood stars and very rich Texans wore Indian jewelry," Means said. "And there was a plethora of dozens if not hundreds of athletic teams that in essence were insulting us, from grade schools to college. That's all changed."
The movement eventually faded away, the result of Native Americans becoming self-aware and self-determined, Means said.
Paul DeMain, editor of News from Indian Country, said there were plenty of Indian activists before AIM but that the group became the "radical media gorilla."
"If someone needed help, you called on the American Indian Movement and they showed up and caused all kind of ruckus and looked beautiful on a 20-second clip on TV that night," DeMain said.
Means and AIM co-founder Dennis Banks were charged in 1974 for their role in the Wounded Kneeuprising, but after a trial that lasted several months, a judge threw the charges out on grounds of government misconduct.
Means said he felt his most important accomplishment was the founding of the Republic of Lakotah and the "re-establishment of our freedom to be responsible" as a sovereign nation inside the borders of the United States. His efforts to have his proposed country recognized by the international community continued at the United Nations, he said, even as it was ignored by tribal governments closer to home, including his own Oglala Sioux Tribe.
But others may remember him for his former organization's connection to Aquash's slaying. Her death remains synonymous with AIM and its often-violent clashes with federal agents in the 1970s.
Authorities believe three AIM members shot and killed Aquash on the Pine Ridge reservation on the orders of someone in AIM's leadership because they suspected she was an FBI informant. Two activists — Arlo Looking Cloud and John Graham — were both eventually convicted of murder. The third has never been charged.
Means blamed Vernon Bellecourt, another AIM leader, for ordering Aquash's killing. Bellecourt denied the allegations in a 2004 interview, four years before he died.
DeMain, an Indian journalist who researched the case, said AIM's leaders know who ordered Aquash's killing but have covered up the truth for decades.
Also in 1975, murder charges were filed against Means and Dick Marshall, an AIM member, in the shooting death of Martin Montileaux of Kyle at the Longbranch Saloon in Scenic. Marshall served 24 years in prison. Means was acquitted.
In addition to his presidential bid, Means also briefly served as a vice presidential candidate in 1984, joining the Larry Flynt ticket during the Hustler magazine publisher's unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination. Flynt was typically a Democrat.
But Means always considered himself a Libertarian and couldn't believe that anyone would want to call themselves either a Republican or a Democrat.
"It's just unconscionable that America has become so stupid," he said.
His acting career began in 1992 when he portrayed Chingachgook alongside Daniel Day-Lewis' Hawkeye in "The Last of the Mohicans." He also appeared in the 1994 film "Natural Born Killers," voiced Chief Powhatan in the 1995 animated film "Pocahontas" and guest starred in 2004 on the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Means recounted his life in the book "Where White Men Fear to Tread." He said he pulled no punches in his autobiography, admitting to his frailties and evils but also acknowledging his successes.
"I tell the truth, and I expose myself as a weak, misguided, misdirected, dysfunctional human being I used to be," he said.
Salomon, the tribal spokeswoman, called Means' death a "great loss" for the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Means' death came a day after former U.S. Sen. George McGovern died in Sioux Falls at the age of 90. McGovern had traveled to Wounded Knee with U.S. Sen. James Abourezk during the 71-day takeover to try to negotiate an end.
"I've lost two good friends in a matter of two to three days," Abourezk said Monday morning. "I don't pretend to understand it."

SO: Oct 23- Xclass flare and earthquakes

I've been keeping my eye on sunspot 1598 since it appeared revolving into earthview, and I had a niggling feeling that this bad boy wasn't going to go out quietly.  Guess I was right.  Two days ago 1598 popped off two M class solar flares, both with CMEs which should impact earth with just a glancing blow today/tomorrow, and a hand full of C's.  Then last night 1598 gave us an M5 followed by an Xclass X1.8 Flare.  The good news is that neither produced a CME, the bad news is that 1598 is just rotating into earth view and is all geared up to party some more.  The flares did cause radio black outs, but only for an hour or so on the sunlit side of earth.

 Current Solar Forcast as spot 1598 rotates into direct earth view is 80% chance of M class, and 20% chance of X Class flares.


SuspiciousObservers video update for today has a lot of important information.

Fukushima update: Hoax or not?

I've been going through headlines and reading articles on and off all day on the latest news from Fukushima Japan.  There are articles saying the explosions happened- see my article earlier today HERE.  

 And articles coming out that debunk the explosions report as a hoax.  Paul Watson of Info Wars has put out his opinion that this is a hoax:


Conspiracy websites are buzzing with claims that spent fuel pools at the Fukushima nuclear reactor have exploded, with radiation levels off the charts, although the story appears almost certainly to be a hoax.
A post currently circulating on numerous websites quotes a “researcher” named Michael Eckstein who purportedly lives 50 miles from Fukushima in Japan.
“Explosions and fires have occurred at spent fuel pools two and four over the past four days and now radiation levels are spiking enormously,” states the post....
....Everyone acknowledges that the media is controlled, but if a deluge of people in Japan were panic buying food and rushing to airports, it would be all over Twitter and other social networks, which it isn’t.
Spreading false rumors about such a dangerous situation is highly irresponsible – precisely because of the very real threat posed by the potential meltdown of Fukushima, which still remains stricken over 18 months after the disaster despite the fact that it has disappeared from mainstream news coverage.
The spent fuel pool inside unit number 4 at Fukushima which stores the spent fuel rods is under dire threat of collapse. Scientists have predicted that there is a 98% chance the facility will be hit by a 7.0 magnitude or higher earthquake within the next three years, threatening a disaster that would be worse than three reactor meltdowns combined.
It has now been confirmed that the ground beneath reactor number 4 is sinking unevenly, causing the entire building which houses the fuel pool to tilt. Experts have petitioned the United Nations to help stabilize unit number 4, noting that the reactor contains 10 times the amount of Cesium-137 released during the Chernobyl disaster and that the complex is vulnerable to another earthquake.




...although I find it sorta humorous that Infowars is call us "Conspiracy Websites"- reminds me of a story I heard as a kid about a pot and a kettle and the colour black...

 The site Fukushima Facts has this comment:


Tully NewsInfo
RE: Fukushima Reactor Explosion And Leak | I have just received a reply from a trusted source. Here it is::: 10/22/12 From Cathy Iwane: Yes, we confirmed this is a hoax for now. If you did a search, the blog in question has no source. And the reuters article as well as others, reference Yukio Edano as the Cabinet Secretary which he is NOT, presently. I have 3 sources in Tokyo who are following closely and there is no word from trusted sources, as well. Iori san also confirmed this for me. I called my husband in Japan and his information is exactly as ours only in Japanese, so we can exhale for now...but be vigilant, reactor 4 is more precarious than ever...


This video is showing what is claimed as a live video feed of the Fukushima site:



All I can say at this point is that we need to weigh the information we are receiving carefully.  The media is empty of any reports, but if this is as serious as some are saying, there could very easily be a news black out.  Twitter and Facebook?  We know that creative editing happens on those sites regularly. As for the supposed radio active cloud heading towards America's West Coast, there have been a lot of strange things going on in various bases in California, and FEMA is gearing up for serious problems.  

 Regardless, if the explosions have indeed happened, they will not be able to keep it a secret for very long. Vice Versa, if they haven't happened, that will become apparent very soon too.

Keep your eyes peeled.  If you come across something interesting- either positive or negative- let me know.

 And to all the commenters that left their snide and snarky remarks on the article I published this morning on the Fukushima incident in question:  All the links I posted and all the articles I read this morning were dated either today or yesterday.  So gee, I'm sorry I'm not psychic and I posted something that may or may not be true, but at least I do my best with what I have.  And to further lower myself to the grade school rhetoric- what have YOU done lately?

Fukushima explosion- radiation levels spiking

Several people are following this closely and I will bring any more information I can find as soon as I have it.




Japan confirms explosion, leakage at nuke plant

FUKUSHIMA, Japan (Reuters)

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano confirmed on Saturday there has been an explosion and radiation leakage at Tokyo Electric Power Co's (TEPCO) (9501.T) Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

"We are looking into the cause and the situation and we'll make that public when we have further information," Edano said.
"At present, we think 10 km evacuation is appropriate."
Japan earlier in the day warned of a meltdown at a reactor at the plant, damaged when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast, but said the risk of radiation contamination was small.
Edano also said that Japan has expanded the evacuation area around the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant. (Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Joseph Radford)

“Allright Luke! We’re Goin In!” Latest Update for the Fix the World Project

Hopegirl2012 brings us up to speed on what's happening with the huge project that she has put together.  Hopegirl and 20 other volunteers from all over the world have been working non-stop for weeks on this amazing project- How to Fix the World!

 If you are unfamiliar with this project, start off by reading Hopegirl's original article HERE

 and the follow up with her next update HERE





“Allright Luke! We’re Goin In!” Latest Update for the Fix the World Project

POSTED ON  BY 
25
I write this now, as I felt it necessary to be as transparent as possible with all of you.  I wanted to provide a further update to the “Fix the World” project.
All submissions from readers were collected by September 24. We’ve got 300 essays filled with many ideas and solutions by the people and for the people. We’ve also established a team of 20 volunteers all over the world that have read through the submissions and pulled out the important data points. These data points (of which there are thousands) are being entered into a qualitative research tool as we speak. Starting this Thursday we are moving into “phase 3″ of the project. This is where I am going to use all the data gathered to create a summarized presentation. I am not doing this alone I have the help of two other very qualified people. Phase 3 will take about a week. The completed project will consist of 4 parts:
1. The Summary- a step by step blueprint plan with detailed solutions to all of the world’s problems
2. The Appendix- each submission in its original format (about 500 pages long)
3. A Reference Library- filled with all references to already established projects and educational information taken from the submissions
4. An audio/visual presentation of the summary to help bring the essence of the work to life.
Our goal is to have this complete before the end of October. I am positive that this document will be extremely helpful to many teams working for the light as it gives a pretty good idea of “what the people think” and how they want to get involved.
In a nutshell, we have answers. We have solutions. We have a blueprint. What does it include? To put it simply we will be providing an answer and a starting point plan for just about every real problem we can identify on the planet. How do we help the suffering? How do we clean up the earth? How do we wake up the people? Areas include, the environment, ascension, the governments of the world, the banking system, poverty, unemployment, technology, the list goes on and on.
This next part is important. This project, is by no means intended to be the “be all and end all” of solution thinking. It is intended to break the ice for many, many more conversations to begin. Real conversations on tangible levels, with individuals that have the ability to implement and execute change. For this reason we must all continue to ready ourselves to engage in the conversation of just how we are going to implement the solutions.
This project, and all that it entails has peaked a healthy interest from individuals in very high places. I’ve been on the phone for many hours. Many are contributing, and doing so in a big way. Please be prepared for the coming promotion aspects of this project once it is finished. So far we’ve got a lot of media lined up, and there is more to come.
While so many of us wait in anticipation for something to finally break, for miracles and real change to finally come through this much I can promise you: This is a tangible project that I have the ability to manifest. I am not doing it alone, but I promise you that I will do my part to make sure this comes through, of that you have my personal guarantee.
As you can probably see, the work so far has taken hundreds if not thousands of combined man hours, so we are working as fast as we can to get this done and presentable, recognizing that we don’t really have much time to waste as this is such an important time in our history. This project is divine. The results will be eye opening and world changing for everyone, establishing hope and clear solutions to all of our problems.
During the next week I will be in “lock down” mode. To get this wrapped up. It is absolutely necessary for me to do this in order to complete the project that is so important for all us. I will still be checking my emails, Skype and Facebook during this time, but there may be a long delay in my reply. Please understand that at this point I have been getting more emails and messages in one day than any one person can possibly keep up with, so please don’t take it personally if I can’t respond and know that I love you all!
I ask you all to please send your energy and good intentions to myself and the partners in this project as we do this great work. This project is so important for all of us. I encourage you to get very very excited!!!

VITAL UPDATE!!!!!! IMF plan to dethrone bankers and wipe out debt!!!!

Spread this VIRAL!!!!!!!!


IMF's epic plan to conjure away debt and dethrone bankers

So there is a magic wand after all. A revolutionary paper by the International Monetary Fund claims that one could eliminate the net public debt of the US at a stroke, and by implication do the same for Britain, Germany, Italy, or Japan.

IMF
The IMF reports says the conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money. Photo: Reuters
2:31PM BST 21 Oct 2012
Comments62 Comments
One could slash private debt by 100pc of GDP, boost growth, stabilize prices, and dethrone bankers all at the same time. It could be done cleanly and painlessly, by legislative command, far more quickly than anybody imagined.
The conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money -- roughly 97pc of the money supply -- with state-created money. We return to the historical norm, before Charles II placed control of the money supply in private hands with the English Free Coinage Act of 1666.
Specifically, it means an assault on "fractional reserve banking". If lenders are forced to put up 100pc reserve backing for deposits, they lose the exorbitant privilege of creating money out of thin air.
The nation regains sovereign control over the money supply. There are no more banks runs, and fewer boom-bust credit cycles. Accounting legerdemain will do the rest. That at least is the argument.
Some readers may already have seen the IMF study, by Jaromir Benes and Michael Kumhof, which came out in August and has begun to acquire a cult following around the world.
Entitled "The Chicago Plan Revisited", it revives the scheme first put forward by professors Henry Simons and Irving Fisher in 1936 during the ferment of creative thinking in the late Depression.
Irving Fisher thought credit cycles led to an unhealthy concentration of wealth. He saw it with his own eyes in the early 1930s as creditors foreclosed on destitute farmers, seizing their land or buying it for a pittance at the bottom of the cycle.
The farmers found a way of defending themselves in the end. They muscled together at "one dollar auctions", buying each other's property back for almost nothing. Any carpet-bagger who tried to bid higher was beaten to a pulp.
Benes and Kumhof argue that credit-cycle trauma - caused by private money creation - dates deep into history and lies at the root of debt jubilees in the ancient religions of Mesopotian and the Middle East.
Harvest cycles led to systemic defaults thousands of years ago, with forfeiture of collateral, and concentration of wealth in the hands of lenders. These episodes were not just caused by weather, as long thought. They were amplified by the effects of credit.
The Athenian leader Solon implemented the first known Chicago Plan/New Deal in 599 BC to relieve farmers in hock to oligarchs enjoying private coinage. He cancelled debts, restituted lands seized by creditors, set floor-prices for commodities (much like Franklin Roosevelt), and consciously flooded the money supply with state-issued "debt-free" coinage.
The Romans sent a delegation to study Solon's reforms 150 years later and copied the ideas, setting up their own fiat money system under Lex Aternia in 454 BC.
It is a myth - innocently propagated by the great Adam Smith - that money developed as a commodity-based or gold-linked means of exchange. Gold was always highly valued, but that is another story. Metal-lovers often conflate the two issues.
Anthropological studies show that social fiat currencies began with the dawn of time. The Spartans banned gold coins, replacing them with iron disks of little intrinsic value. The early Romans used bronze tablets. Their worth was entirely determined by law - a doctrine made explicit by Aristotle in his Ethics - like the dollar, the euro, or sterling today.
Some argue that Rome began to lose its solidarity spirit when it allowed an oligarchy to develop a private silver-based coinage during the Punic Wars. Money slipped control of the Senate. You could call it Rome's shadow banking system. Evidence suggests that it became a machine for elite wealth accumulation.
Unchallenged sovereign or Papal control over currencies persisted through the Middle Ages until England broke the mould in 1666. Benes and Kumhof say this was the start of the boom-bust era.
One might equally say that this opened the way to England's agricultural revolution in the early 18th Century, the industrial revolution soon after, and the greatest economic and technological leap ever seen. But let us not quibble.
The original authors of the Chicago Plan were responding to the Great Depression. They believed it was possible to prevent the social havoc caused by wild swings from boom to bust, and to do so without crimping economic dynamism.
The benign side-effect of their proposals would be a switch from national debt to national surplus, as if by magic. "Because under the Chicago Plan banks have to borrow reserves from the treasury to fully back liabilities, the government acquires a very large asset vis-à-vis banks. Our analysis finds that the government is left with a much lower, in fact negative, net debt burden."
The IMF paper says total liabilities of the US financial system - including shadow banking - are about 200pc of GDP. The new reserve rule would create a windfall. This would be used for a "potentially a very large, buy-back of private debt", perhaps 100pc of GDP.
While Washington would issue much more fiat money, this would not be redeemable. It would be an equity of the commonwealth, not debt.
The key of the Chicago Plan was to separate the "monetary and credit functions" of the banking system. "The quantity of money and the quantity of credit would become completely independent of each other."
Private lenders would no longer be able to create new deposits "ex nihilo". New bank credit would have to be financed by retained earnings.
"The control of credit growth would become much more straightforward because banks would no longer be able, as they are today, to generate their own funding, deposits, in the act of lending, an extraordinary privilege that is not enjoyed by any other type of business," says the IMF paper.
"Rather, banks would become what many erroneously believe them to be today, pure intermediaries that depend on obtaining outside funding before being able to lend."
The US Federal Reserve would take real control over the money supply for the first time, making it easier to manage inflation. It was precisely for this reason that Milton Friedman called for 100pc reserve backing in 1967. Even the great free marketeer implicitly favoured a clamp-down on private money.
The switch would engender a 10pc boost to long-arm economic output. "None of these benefits come at the expense of diminishing the core useful functions of a private financial system."
Simons and Fisher were flying blind in the 1930s. They lacked the modern instruments needed to crunch the numbers, so the IMF team has now done it for them -- using the `DSGE' stochastic model now de rigueur in high economics, loved and hated in equal measure.
The finding is startling. Simons and Fisher understated their claims. It is perhaps possible to confront the banking plutocracy head without endangering the economy.
Benes and Kumhof make large claims. They leave me baffled, to be honest. Readers who want the technical details can make their own judgement by studying the text here.
The IMF duo have supporters. Professor Richard Werner from Southampton University - who coined the term quantitative easing (QE) in the 1990s -- testified to Britain's Vickers Commission that a switch to state-money would have major welfare gains. He was backed by the campaign group Positive Money and the New Economics Foundation.
The theory also has strong critics. Tim Congdon from International Monetary Research says banks are in a sense already being forced to increase reserves by EU rules, Basel III rules, and gold-plated variants in the UK. The effect has been to choke lending to the private sector.
He argues that is the chief reason why the world economy remains stuck in near-slump, and why central banks are having to cushion the shock with QE.
"If you enacted this plan, it would devastate bank profits and cause a massive deflationary disaster. There would have to do `QE squared' to offset it," he said.
The result would be a huge shift in bank balance sheets from private lending to government securities. This happened during World War Two, but that was the anomalous cost of defeating Fascism.
To do this on a permanent basis in peace-time would be to change in the nature of western capitalism. "People wouldn't be able to get money from banks. There would be huge damage to the efficiency of the economy," he said.
Arguably, it would smother freedom and enthrone a Leviathan state. It might be even more irksome in the long run than rule by bankers.
Personally, I am a long way from reaching an conclusion in this extraordinary debate. Let it run, and let us all fight until we flush out the arguments.
One thing is sure. The City of London will have great trouble earning its keep if any variant of the Chicago Plan ever gains wide support.
