I recently posted about your criminal members of government in a post HERE. A common theme among them was that they all belonged to the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, and Trilateral Commission. So what are these goups and why do all your "representatives" belong to unelected thinkgroups which are completely ignored in the main stream media?
Well here is a brief summarization I took from a blog. Keep in Mind this was written in 2007. You have a computer at your fingers tips, cross reference anything here, and look up Bilderberg and Trilateral Commission for some more fun. Is your democracy just an illusion?
The goals of the CFR is best described by its very own members. Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor and CFR member Carroll Quigley states: "The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one world rule established.". Quigley differs from many of his CFR colleagues in that he believes their plan for a new world order should be more publicly disclosed. In his book Tragedy and Hope, Quigley concedes he is unique among his peers in that he believes the new world order plan of global government's "role in history is significant enough to be known". Quigley also admits that the two-party system allows for both groups to be controlled at the highest level but operate like bitter rivals. As Quigley says, this gives the voters the chance to "throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound of extreme shifts in policy.". Controlling Washington elite allowed private central banks to " dominate the political system... ...and economy of world as a whole" and implement a new system of "feudalist fashion" through "secret agreements". Although he believes the CFR's intentions should be more public, Quigley understands the average person doesn't understand feudalism or serfdom and will never read his book.
Surprisingly, many of its own members admit the CFR goal is to subvert the democratic process. CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the US Navy Admiral Chester Ward writes "The main purpose of the (CFR) is promoting the disarmament of US sovereignty and national dependence and submergence into and all powerful, one world government.". This high ranking military officer went on to explain their procedures for influencing policy, claiming: "Once the ruling members of the CFR shadow government have decided that the US government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.".
The CFR's strategy is also being used to promote world government as well as the new environmental agenda. Obama and most candidates have made the environment a major issue in the policy. The CFR has long suggested a global tax, specifically identifying the environmental movement as a means for its advancement. All CFR candidates align themselves with the position that the government has both the ability and responsibility to maintain the world's environment. Good intentioned individuals may genuinely seek environmental protection, but nongovernmental organizations are quickly capitalizing on land acquisitions and taxes in the name of global warming. While most scientist agree the planet earth is undergoing a degree of climactic change, the CFR admits the environmental argument will be used to erode national sovereignty and build up their global authority. Proposed "Carbon Taxes" place carbon expenditure ratings on mundane human activities. Contrary to popular misconceptions, CO2 is by no means a pollutant. As an essential gas for life, plants thrive on increased levels of CO2 which in turn they produce higher levels of oxygen. Furthermore, carbon based life forms emit carbon to the atmosphere, hence a "Carbon Tax" is a tariff for doing nothing but maintaining life. A popular movement lead by the CFR's own Al Gore would have you believe CO2 is the root cause of environmental woes while ignoring real industrial pollution in developing countries. There are serious environmental problems that are ignored in favor of issues that can be used to tax the broad population.
Environmental protection has already lead countries to willingly surrender control of natural resources. The US has ceded control of natural resources to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in a land grab under the guise of environmental protection. UNESCO is part of the United Nations, an organization controlled by many CFR members like permanent US ambassador John Bolton. The CFR's President Richard N. Haass boldly admits "Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change.". He adds that this "Globalisation thus implies that sovereignty... ...needs to become weaker.". While it is important to be conscious of humans' effects on the earth, nongovernmental organizations like the CFR see an opportunity to redistribute wealth through selective enforcement targeting the US. The CFR openly states its intentions of using the environmental movement and other emotional arguments to build up global authority and undermine US sovereignty.
The CFR backs other programs that promote regional governments. Another ambitious goal of the CFR is the implementation of regional unions under the control of a central world government. World leaders are moving towards a regional partnership of North America consisting of Canada, the US, and Mexico. In 2005, the CFR released a report titled "Building an American Community" which sought to eliminate borders between the three North American countries. One part of the plan called for decreasing government control of cross-border traffic in an effort to dissolve national borders. Robert Pastor, a vice chairman of the task force that released "Building a North American Community", names the " Amero" as a hypothetical unified North American currency similar to the Euro. Carried out with precision, the private, run-for-profit federal reserve bank has massively devalued the US dollar, allowing foreign corporations to buy up US resources for literal pennies on the dollar.
The European Union is a similar model to the North American partnership. The EU was hugely opposed by Europeans, and took a half century for the complicit European power elites to fully implement the union. During his time as Prime Minister, Tony Blair tried several times for the United Kingdom's adoption of the unpopular EU constitution that was also staunchly rejected by French and Dutch voters. The current Prime Minister Gordon Brown continues to advance a similar constitution under a new name. Like the EU, American countries would keep their governmental infrastructure but all policy would be superseded by a regional constitution.
Already in place in North America is the Security and Prosperity Partnership (spp.gov) established in a meeting between Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The SPP consolidates protection of the North American Union by establishing a security perimeter extending north of Canada to the Mexican/ Guatemalan border. This measure was authorized under Bush's ambiguous executive authority, thus avoiding any congressional input or oversight. It is a precursor to a trilateral authority between the three North American economies.
A similar measure to the SPP in the establishment of a unified North American region is the NAFTA "Superhighway" which eliminates border restrictions on shipping, allowing imported goods destined for the US to arrive in North America at ports in Mexico. Rather than arriving at the port of Long Beach, imported goods would enter the US via a "port" in the mid-west that lies along the shipping lane. This measure has been unanimously opposed by US cities in proximity of the highway, but the democratic voice is ignored as the government covertly advances. Congress has largely looked away from the issue. Members who are aware of this plan avoid this issue and prefer that it stay secret, and the CFR presidential candidates will not address it. The presidential candidates' association with the the self-described "shadow government" compromises the the voting process and defrauds the constituency.
Barack Obama has captivated voters from all parties with his refreshing new style of rhetoric. He has the voting record to back his criticism of the Iraq war. But like his CFR colleagues, he vows to continue the pursuit of a shadowy enemy under the vague threat of "terrorism" - a policy that has cost citizens their personal liberties, trillions in debt and untold lives. The war on terror has been crafted to spend the US into bankruptcy and setup a domestic police state. Money continues to be being printed out of thin air by the private run-for-profit Federal Reserve, while China remains leveraged with over $1 trillion in US dollar holdings. In the middle east, the CFR's blank check for U.S. military operations will deplete U.S. resources while inciting sectarian strife and anti-U.S. sentiment, ignoring the history of blowback as documented by the CIA. Obama and other CFR candidates affiliation with the organization is not promoted on their websites or in any press releases because the organization has centralized political power and financial capital to set policy the public would otherwise oppose. The career politicians in the CFR know corporate sponsorship is frowned upon by voters. The Council is one of the major conduits between government and business leaders in the US. The CFR is guaranteeing power by owning all the horses in the race that is the 2008 election. Obama is captivating unlike most of his competition, undoubtedly intelligent enough to understand his political niche. Another CFR US president guarantees more of the same costly foreign policy that protects corporate interests and isolates the US. Like his colleagues, Barack Obama's stated foreign policy intentions foment the long term militarization and balkanization of the middle east while resources will continue to be spent in deficit to finance an illegal foreign policy. Only when the control of the CFR is fully exposed will the voters have a real democratic choice.
It's time real history gets heard. You can verify or cross reference anything in this video. I've done my research, people need to get to the core of what is going on in the world. This video is one of the best that sums up YOUR LIFE. Please forward this video to everyone you know. Keep in mind this video was made in the 90's, and everything predicted has come true. width:400px;height
Here is a brief overview of the Cabinet (if you dig deep, some of the stuff gets insane) Some stuff they "forgot" to mention on the 6 o'clock news. Now this isn't an Obama bashing thread. You have to realize he had no say in who the cabinet was going to consist of. All these people are appointed by the people running the show, just as Obama was - his only job is to sell the lie - can't people see this?
Notice the relationship between the people's history and their job criteria. For example, look at the background of the monetary appointees - ie if you realize the history of the privately owned Fed.
If you look at Obama's advisors it's even more scary, but that can be for another topic.
Obama - A vote for change? It's the same people/theme from previous administrations. Look at the corralation between them - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Commission = your unelected thinkgroups who make the decisions which run your daily lives. I'd suggest you look them up.
FYI - John McCain is all CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission too. I know Obama was at least a CFR and Bilderberg guy. Can you not see that there are no party differences and it's just a two headed, one party system? I know you guys care (thank god because there are alot of sheep out there), because you are here, and you voice your displeasure about what is going on. So what is the core reason for the insanity? Why do politicians lie all the time? Why does an election never bring change? Who is making the decisions that effect your future?
Joseph Biden - Vice President - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral
Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff Member of Israeli Defense Force, staunch Zionist, congressman, Board of Directors for Freddie Mac, member of Bill Clinton's finance campaign committee, Emanuel made $16.2 million during 2.5 years as an investment banker for Wasserstein Perella. His father was a member of the Israeli Irgun terrorist group.
Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Commission Much has already been written about Hillary Clinton's criminal past, her poor record on domestic civil liberties issues, and now she can export her "It takes a village to raise a child" message to the entire world. Bilderberg, CFR, and Trilateral Commission member, Hillary Clinton will continue the phony global war on terror indefinitely. "It is essential that we win this war against these borderless terrorists, but it is, I believe, critical that we once again recommit ourselves to that American internationalism that I mentioned in the beginning," Clinton told Richard Haass and the Council on Foreign Relations in 2003. Internationalism, of course, is inseparable from neoliberal globalism of the sort the CFR has pushed for decades.
Timothy Geithner - Treasury secretary- Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Commission Geithner is president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and was intimately involved in the multi-Trillion dollar transfers to International banksters. He was also a former Clinton administration Treasury official, worked for Kissinger Associates and has also held a senior position at the IMF. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
He will likely push the New World Order agenda decided at the 2008 Bilberberg Meeting of a one world currency and global control of financial systems. Geithner wrote an article in the Financial Times calling for a global regulatory banking framework, and called for the Federal Reserve to have an instrumental role in this new framework.
Geithner wrote this piece right after the Bilderberg Meeting where some of the most powerful figures in the world of central banking attended. Not only did Geithner attend, but the attendee list included Ben Bernanke the Federal Reserve Chairman, Henry Paulson the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Jean-Claude Trichet the president of the European Central Bank, Robert Zoellick the president of the World Bank and other high profile bankers. With the who's who of central banking attending the Bilderberg Meeting, it is highly unlikely that what Geithner is proposing in his Financial Times article was not discussed at the Bilderberg Meeting. It is no secret that the true objective of the Bilderberg Meeting is to steer the world into accepting a global government. By establishing a new global regulatory banking framework, this will inch the planet ever closer to a one world currency operating in a cashless society where microchips are used to facilitate transactions. Make no mistake about it, this system will not be good, because it will be controlled by a bunch of criminal psychopaths like the one's who attended the 2008 Bilderberg Meeting.
Lawrence Summers - National Economic Council head - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Bildergerg, CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Treasury secretary for the final 1-1/2 years of the Clinton administration. It was Summers who forced through the deregulation of financial markets in the 1990s. Lawrence Summers played a key role in lobbying Congress for the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act. His timely appointment by President Clinton in 1999 as Treasury Secretary spearheaded the adoption of the Financial Services Modernization Act in November 1999.
Harvard University Economics Professor Lawrence Summers served as Chief Economist for the World Bank (1991-1993). He contributed to shaping the macro-economic reforms imposed on numerous indebted developing countries. The social and economic impact of these reforms under the IMF-World Bank sponsored structural adjustment program (SAP) were devastating, resulting in mass poverty.
Summers wrote a memo saying the World Bank should actively encourage the dumping of toxic waste in developing countries, particularly "under-polluted countries in Africa," since poor people in developing countries rarely live long enough to develop cancer.
In 1993, Summers moved to the US Treasury. He initially held the position of Undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs and later Deputy Secretary. In liaison with his former colleagues at the IMF and the World Bank, he played a key role in crafting the economic "shock treatment" reform packages imposed at the height of the 1997 Asian crisis on South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.
Larry Summers became Treasury Secretary in July 1999. He is a protégé of David Rockefeller. He was among the main architects of the infamous Financial Services Modernization Act, which provided legitimacy to inside trading and outright financial manipulation.
Summers was also a Consultant to Goldman Sachs and managing director of a Hedge fund, the D.E. Shaw Group. Under the helm of Larry Summers and as a direct result of the financial meltdown, the D. E. Shaw Group made record profits. At the end of October 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, the D. E. Shaw Group announced $7 billion in revenue, a 22 percent increase over the previous year, "with nearly three times more cash on hand than a year ago".
Considering that Summers is a chief architect of the current financial meltdown, we should be wondering why Obama isn't preparing an arrest warrant for him, instead of offering him a powerful economic role in the world.
Eric Holder - Attorney General - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Former Clintonite and Deputy Attorney General, he is probably best and infamously remembered for his role in the controversial pardon of billionaire fugitive Marc Rich, the FBI Most Wanted criminal who colluded with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages.
In private practice as an attorney, Holder represents Merck and helped negotiate an agreement with the Justice Department for Chiquita Brands International in a case that involved Chiquita's payment of "protection money" to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a group on the U.S. government's list of terrorist organizations.
Holder played an important role in the D.C. v. Heller ruling on handguns. Holder joined the Reno-led amicus brief, which urged the Supreme Court to uphold Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban and said the Department of Justice from Franklin Roosevelt through Bill Clinton had always believed that the Second Amendment does not protect the rights of individuals to own guns for personal use. In short, Holder is a gun grabber who is opposed to the Second Amendment. As attorney general, we can bet he will work tirelessly to outlaw all firearms in the United States.
Holder has advocated government censorship of the internet. "It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at," Holder told NPR after the Columbine massacre in 1999.
Robert Gates - Defense Secretary - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Robert Gates is a loyal Bush senior stooge. During Bush 41's presidency, Gates served as deputy national security adviser and then as CIA director. Robert Gates is a consummate insider. "Gates indeed worked under every U.S. president from Richard M. Nixon to George Herbert Walker Bush," notes the National Security Archive. He is closely connected to former Secretary of State James Baker III, a prominent CFR member.
"The Iran Contra affair in which Robert Gates was implicated was part of the architecture of the ‘war on terrorism'. What is rarely acknowledged is that part of the proceeds of the illegal weapons sales to Iran were also used to finance the CIA sponsored Islamic brigades (i.e. Al Qaeda) involved in the Soviet-Afghan war. These covert operations in support of Al Qaeda paved the way for the ‘war on terrorism' which constitutes the cornerstone of US National Security doctrine," writes Michel Chossudovsky.
Gen. James Jones - National Security Adviser - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Former Marine general and former NATO supreme commander James Jones sits on the board of directors of the Boeing Company, Chevron, and NATO's Atlantic Council of the United States. Jones is cozy with the Council on Foreign Relations.
In essence, Jones will serve as Big Oil's security chief. "Jones is currently a director of Chevron Oil. He also heads of the Chamber of Commerce's Institute for 21st Century Energy - a group lobbying on energy issues in DC and described by the Grist as ‘part of the Republican machine, dominated by - and lobbying fiercely for the interests of - Big Oil, Big Auto, Big Pharma, and other such Bigs,'" writes Mitchell Anderson.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jones remarked at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009, "As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through Generaal Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger..."
Paul Volcker - Economic Recovery Advisory Board, Bilderberg, CFT, Trilateral Longtime associate of the rockefeller family, Bilderberger and North American Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, Paul Volker was chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in the l980s during the Carter and Reagan era. He was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and played a central role in implementing the first stage of financial deregulation, which was conducive to mass bankruptcies, mergers and acquisitions, leading up to the 1987 financial crisis.
Ellen Moran - Director of Communications - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral As someone who has spent most of her public life as executive director of EMILY's List, a pro-choice eugenics organization, imagine the public propaganda messages that will now spew forth from this office.
Janet Napolitano - Secretary of Homeland Security - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral As a CFR member, Napolitano is onboard with the globalist agenda to impoverish the American worker. She will continue the do-nothing approach to illegal immigration. "Far from being a border hawk, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano frequently blocked efforts to curb illegal immigration, say enforcement advocates concerned about her expected nomination to be the Homeland Security secretary under President Barack Obama," reports Fred Lucas for CNS News. She opposes a border fence and favors a controversial technology visa program and favors a "stringent pathway to citizenship," in other words allowing millions of illegal aliens to become citizens.
Susan E. Rice - U.S. Ambassador to the UN - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Ms. Rice, a former assistant secretary of state for African Affairs under Clinton and a Rhodes scholar, is a minion of the Brooking Institution. Brookings is a neolib "think tank" par excellence. It is funded by the Ford Foundation, the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, American Express, the Bank of America, Lockheed Martin, Walmart, Goldman Sachs, and the United Nations.
Rice is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Aspen Strategy Group, the latter where she rubs elbows with the likes of Brent Scowcroft, the neocon Eliot A. Cohen (a "leading champion" of the war in Iraq), Madeleine Albright (a proponent of mass murdering Iraqi children), CFR president Richard N. Haass, and other crossover neocons and neolibs.
Carol M. Browner - White House coordinator of climate and energy policies. - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Member of the Socialist International and leader of the group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change. This highly influential group is headed by a Bilderberg Group luminary that calls for the implementation of global government.
It really is no surprise that Barack Obama chose this woman to oversee the effort to combat the global warming fantasy. She is a believer in the socialist doctrines behind the whole climate change scam created by the new world socialist order over 12 years ago.
You may remember Carol Browner from her days as President Clinton's EPA Administrator where she used the EPA to campaign against Republicans. A bipartisan letter from the House Government Reform and Oversight Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs on March 21, 1995, charged the Environmental Protection Agency and its administrator, Carol M. Browner, with violating the federal Anti-Lobbying Act by faxing unsolicited material opposing the Republican-sponsored regulatory reform package to various corporations and public-interest groups.
Sanjay Gupta - U.S. Surgeon General - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral CFR Member is part of the ongoing eugenics vaccination effort. Part of Gupta's "public message" is that thermersol and its mercury-based preservative has nothing to do with autism. In 2007, Gupta went on CNN to state there appears to be no relationship between thimerosal and autism. Gupta does not mention a study published in the March 10, 2006, issue of American Physicians and Surgeons that reveals that since mercury was removed from childhood vaccines, the alarming increase in reported rates of autism and other neurological disorders in children dropped sharply. Mr. Gupta appears to be part of an effort to deny there is an epidemic and try to hide the data from public scrutiny, while at the same time secretly putting in an addendum in to the Homeland Security Act specifically to prevent parents from suing vaccines companies for vaccine damage.
He was a White House Fellow in 1997 and served as special advisor to then-first lady Hillary Clinton.
Kathleen Sebelius - Health and Human Services Secretary - Bilderberg, CFT, Trilateral Kansas governor and Bilderberger attracted national attention in 2004 by signing a Kansas law granting illegal immigrants a tuition break at the state's public colleges and universities. Pro-abortion advocate, Sebelius also recently signed an executive order covering 25,000 of the state's 41,000 employees prohibiting on-the-job harassment against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and people who have undergone sexual-reassignment surgery.
Leon Panetta - CIA Director - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral He served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997.
George Mitchell - Special Envoy for the Middle East - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral CFR member and former director of the globalist organization. Mitchell sits on the steering committee of the American Friends of Bilderberg along with such luminaries as Conrad Black, Henry Kissinger, and David Rockefeller.
Richard Holbrooke - Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral He is on the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. A dedicated Clintonite and former ambassador to the United Nations, Holbrooke brokered the Dayton Peace Accords, the "peace agreement" that partitioned and reduced Bosnia to a NATO and IMF client state, a model of bankster privatization. Along with Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Paul Allaire, Holbrooke directs the American Friends of Bilderberg, an organization that takes money from Exxon, Arco, IBM, and other transnational corporations and has its meetings funded by the globalist Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and the Carnegie Endowment fund.
Thomas A. Daschle - Director of the Office of Health Reform - Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, former Senate majority leader, Citibank lackey, mentored by Robert Rubin.
Homes sales for May in London, Ontario stayed steady. Thanks to record low interest rates, home buyers are purchasing at a steady rate, particularly first time home buyers. While the economy has taken a beaten in the manufacturing sector, overall it's steady enough and combined with the low interest rates, people are purchasing homes. It is not uncommon to see multiple offer situations if a home for sale is priced at market value or below market value in the first time homebuyer price range - $200,000 and under. The full market report can be read HERE.
In unrelated (yet related news) one has to wonder why the general population is completely unaware that private banking corporations own and run the Federal Reserve Bank in the USA. Yes, that is correct, private banks are in complete charge of the worlds supposed super power and have been for the past 100 years. And these mega rich and powerful banking families own major banking institutions such as Lehman Brothers, Citibank etc (remember last fall?)
Think about this for a second - it's KIND OF IMPORTANT . (And if you think I'm making this up because you haven't heard this on the 6 O'Clock news or in the newspaper, upon a little research you will find that this banking cartel own 100% of the main stream media you think is giving you the real news).
It's easy to find information on this with a simple search on your browser.
Do your own search, your own research. As long as you ask some questions! Please don't be ignorant and think that this won't have a tremendous effect your future.
Yes it is possible. Very possible. More importantly, now that I have your attention, as we explore the topic I'm addressing hopefully you will experience just a small paridigm shift in your thinking to at least make you ask some questions. Questions which will hopefully help you see what is the single greatest issue facing every person in this country and around the world today. 99% of the population is completely unaware, not of their own ignorance, but by researching further you will learn that you are intentionally mislead and misinformed so you don't learn of their secret.
I'm going to keep this posting simple and not go into great detail. Since you are reading this I know that you have access to the Internet. I know that you have a search function on your browser. You are free to research, inquire, explore, confirm any information you want. You are free to question any facts or information presented to you. I not writing this to tell you what is fact or what is happening. I'm writing this so you will look at information and form your own questions and conclusions. As some of this information will come as a complete shock to people, it's important to keep an open mind and research, question, and confirm what is fact and fiction.
I would like to talk about the Central Bank. Boring topic you might be thinking. However, what you wouldn't find boring is who owns or controls the Central Bank. I'm talking about the Bank of Canada, Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and every other Central Bank that operates their nation's currency. News flash: the Government of Canada (aka you the citizen) DOES NOT OWN OR RUN the Bank of Canada. Ditto for the for the US govn't and the Federal Reserve, Bank of England etc.
So who runs, owns and controls the Bank of Canada? Answer: Private Banks. Yes, private banking corporations issue money, set interest rates, and control the monetary policy. When the Canadian government borrows money for whatever purpose, it does not print its own money and issue it. It borrows the money from the Bank of Canada - which is really a private banking cartel - at interest. To simplify things, the private banks print money out of thin air, "lend" it to the Government of Canada, and charge interest so you the taxpayer can pay for a debt that is impossible to pay off. What???
Now if you have read this far and this is the first you have heard of such a "scam" (cause that is what it really is) you are immediately questioning my sanity. You are thinking this is impossible, I'm just making this up, how could such a system be in place, this isn't what I learned in school or read in the news. Again, you have a wealth of information at your finger tips, research the topic, "google it" as they say, prove this to be wrong.
Note: Concerning the Bank of Canada, it's a little blurry whether the international banking families directly own the BoC, or just use their immense influence to ensure the Government of Canada (YOU!) use their institutions. But they do! Illegally! (If you don't think they do, research who owns the IMF, World Bank, BIS who Bank of Canada follows their policy and direction and are currently in the process of implementing a world currency system)
However what is clear and documented and is not a secret is that the Federal Reserve - the most powerful financial institution we know - is privately owned by the "banking cartel" You can view the following video or search whatever source you would like - there is a tone of documented evidence proving this to be true. If this is true, stop and think about this for a second. (and maybe pause and think about what happened last fall)
To further the grand picture, if you would like a complete history of the banking families and their institutions and how they've shaped and impacted the world today you can view this video. 3 hours might seem long and boring but it might be the most important eye popping 3 hours you could spend. (There are condensed versions of this video available to view) Not to many people today know that a small group of families (lead by the Rothchilds) own or control all the central banks of the developed nations.
It is important to Grasp: Private Banking Corporations run Central Banks. Same banking families own and operation the world bank, IMF etc. NOT GOVERNMENT!
I shouldn't have to spell out the consequences of such a situation, the vast control and power into a small number of hands. As you begin to explore this reality, you only begin to see the enormous impact on the world today as we know it.
From a purely selfish point of view, the very least you should do is complain to have this system abolished, clear our nations debt and rid yourselves of most taxes including income tax - which was implemented to pay the interest on the Debt that was created illegally by these banking institutions forcing your own govn't to borrow from them (if you really simplify things, the income tax you pay goes directly to the banks and the banking cartel).
This is the greatest fraud of our lifetime and has been going on under our noses for generations. Please research this topic. If you are a skeptic, prove this to be wrong. I challenge you. Our nation and civilization are in a mega crisis and the general populous is completely unaware of what is going on even though it is staring you right in the face. (Upon "googling" it's easy to learn that this same "cartel" owns or controls virtually all of the main stream media ie why you haven't heard of this before, nor will you ever see it when you turn on the TV or read the newspaper) As you are likely aware, there is a huge push for a world government and a world currency (and it isn't your elected officials who are behind the push) Rather then being blinded by the propaganda you hear and see on TV and newspaper, please do your homework!
The results of April home sales are in and the London area proved to be very active. Detached home sales increased by 1.8% over April of 2008. This is very surprising stat - I expected the numbers to be good given the activity and interest I've seen generated over the last couple of months - but these numbers are very solid. Condos sold decreased 26% for April of 2008.
This continues with the theme I've reiterated over the last 6 months - London real estate market was in a good situation, is currently in a good situation, and will be in a good situation in the future.
I think we are closer to a neutral market now (split even between buyers/sellers market) then the buyers market we say in December for example. I'll have to crunch the numbers in a future post.
Below is part of the press release. The full release can be read HERE
Last month, 804 homes exchanged hands in the jurisdiction of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR), including 666 detached homes (up 1.8% from April 2008) and 138 condos (down 26.6% from April 2008). Year to date, 1,840 detached homes and 414 condos have been sold - down 15.1% and 26.9% respectively compared to the same period in 2008.
"April sales have increased by 20% over March - that's great news, especially in a tougher economy," says Joe Hough, LSTAR President. "We have now seen detached home sales move from being down 35% in January, down 30% in February, down 7.2% in March, and now they are up by 1.8%. The federal government incentives announced in the last budget, including the increase in the maximum withdrawal allowed under the Home Buyers' Plan to $25,000, and the First Time Buyer Tax Credit, have certainly influenced April's sales."
Hough says the average residential price is also improving. "Year-to-date for April 2009, the total residential average price is down 1.8% to $207,591, compared with a decline of 2.7% in March, 2.4% in February and 2.8% in January."
Real Estate home sale numbers are in for March. Homes sales were solid for London Ontario. They were down 7% compared to March 2008 - which is encouraging (If homes sales for the remaining 9 months are 7% less then 2008's numbers, that would be a decent year).
I've repeatedly said that home buyers took a couple of months off due to the uncertainty in the world markets. Once they see the area market is stable, and the weather warms up, home buyers are going to be ready to buy - particularly first time buyers. Historical low interest rates and a buyers market are hard to ignore. We are starting to see that activity now. Sales numbers for April and May should reflect this - they won't be 2008 or 2007 numbers - but no one is expecting them to be nor do they have to be for the real estate market to function at a healthy rate. Homes prices have slipped 2.7% year to date compared to 2008. It will be interesting to see how this plays out the rest of the year. My prediction is by the end of the year homes prices will be 1% to 3% less the 2008 prices. (CMHC recently predicted 0-1%) I think there will be enough buyers and sales to keep the market stable and to keep in check the increased amount of new listings available.
You can read the full market report HERE. The follow is some brief comments from the report: Last month, 669 homes exchanged hands in the jurisdiction of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR), including 551 detached homes (down 7.2% from March 2008) and 118 condos (down 21.9% from March 2008). Year to date, 1,174 detached homes and 276 condos have been sold - down 22.6% and 27% respectively compared to the same period in 2008.
"Compared to January and February of this year, we are certainly seeing stabilization in home sales in LSTAR's jurisdiction," says Joe Hough, LSTAR President. "January sales for detached homes were down 35% and February sales for detached homes were down 30%, so to see March home sales for detached homes down just 7.2% is very encouraging."
Hough says the average residential price is also holding steady. "Year-to-date for March 2009, the total residential average price is down 2.7% to $206,944, compared with a decline of 2.4% in February and 2.8% in January, so we are seeing some stabilization there as well."
St. Thomas sales were up in March. "Compared to March 2008, sales of units in St. Thomas actually increased by 14.6%," says Hough. "But the average home price has declined by 7.2%." "Typically the Spring market we're moving into generates more activity, and this year there are the benefits from historically low mortgage rates and improved affordability in most markets," says the President of the Canadian Real Estate Association, Calvin Lindberg. "REALTORS® are reporting increased interest, especially from first-time homebuyers."
Mortgage interest rates in London, Ontario continue to drop. 5 year fixed terms can now be purchased at 4.19% or maybe a little less. These rates are at historical 50 year lows. A $200,000 mortgage over 25 years equals $1,070 monthly payments. A $150,000 mortgage is $805/month. If you wanted to do a variable mortgage, rates and payments are even lower. Free mortgage preapprovals can be done quickly with no obligation. To find out how much you can afford to purchase go HERE.
This is one of the reasons homebuyers are going to be purchasing homes in the spring market. Judging by activity at open houses (a lot of potential homebuyers are attending), and talking with buyers, the spring market should be fairly active. Many of these buyers will be first time buyers looking to get into the real estate market for the first time.
