Judge Andrew Napolitano testifies of Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve-insider Timothy Geithner’s arrest in this 4-minute corporate news show. American Kabuki lists the daily-increasing bank resignations.

 

Benjamin Fulford explain and document history and deceit at the top of US and global finance, leading to current and imminent arrests.

 

 

 

 

 


What does this mean?

Anyone with intellectual integrity and moral courage can affirm that the Federal Reserve system is guilty of financial fraud at its core.

 

The “emperor has no clothes” reason is they lie in omission and commission with a fiduciary responsibility:

  • they create debt for what we use as money

  • charge the 99% increasing aggregate interest

  • then tell us this is responsible leadership for the public good

I teach college-level economics; the facts of a debt-based “monetary system,” unpayable and increasing aggregate debt, and increasing per capita interest costs is conservative textbook information.

 

If you want to understand, I’ll walk you through here.

There’s more to the charge of financial fraud at the top of US economic and financial policy, of course. I recommend the documentation of Matt Taibbi and David DeGraw to dive-into details of the crimes, and Ellen Brown and American Monetary Institute to explore solutions.

Is current news of Geithner and bank “leadership” resignations evidence of an “emperor has no clothes” breakthrough?

 

The people I work with and I, don’t know. What we do know is that until we have justice with the 1%’s crimes centering in war and money, we’ll continue to document the facts and demand their arrests. These crimes kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions of our dollars every year.

Until we have justice and policies for 100% of Earth’s inhabitants, it’s just another day of civic activism.

 Mass Banking Resignations Signal...

A Purging Has Begun?
by Brandon Turbeville

According to a list compiled by independent blog, American Kabuki, at least 122 banking directors, CEOs, and board members of both national and international stature have resigned since September of last year.

 

The blog recently posted a list of all 122 of these individuals with links to the announcements and reports of their resignation.

The fact that banks have been reshuffling their personnel is, of course, nothing new. However, 122 resignations does seem like a large number, particularly when one realizes that many of these resignations are coming from relatively large institutions.

As a result, there has been much speculation and concern on the part of many observers as to what these shifts actually mean.

While it should be mentioned that the list contains resignations from some institutions that are relatively small in terms of international finance, one might also do well to remember that banks, insurance companies, corporations, and governments are often tied together by a seemingly infinite number of spiderweb connections that only become visible as certain parts of the financial relationships are unearthed.

To be clear, this writer is not suggesting that every single bank included in this list is part of a criminal conspiracy, cover-up, or act of misconduct. In fact, I am not suggesting that any of them are. However, when it comes to some institutions such as the World Bank or the Bank of England, the history of treachery is obvious and should be kept in mind as you draw your own conclusions.

In fact, it is the resignations taking place amidst these larger institutions that should be a cause for greater concern in the first place.

Indeed, the number of resignations taking place amongst large institutions such as,

  • CitiBank

  • Lloyds Banking Group

  • UBS

  • Bank of America

  • Goldman Sachs

  • JP Morgan,

...alone, should be enough to turn some heads.

But there is also an alarming number of central banks included on this list as well. Perhaps the most surprising is the fact that Phillip Hildebrand, the head of Switzerland’s central bank, recently handed in his resignation.

 

Not only that, but there have been resignations coming from several other central banks including,

  • Argentina

  • Kuwait

  • Nicaraqua

  • Kenya

Even the World Bank is now accepting the resignation of Robert Zoellick.

The truth is, we don’t know what these resignations actually mean.

  • Are they merely coincidence?

  • Is this par for the course in the international banking industry?

  • Or are we witnessing the beginning of a rush for the exits by those who are in a position to see what is coming down the pike? Considering the state of the world financial system, this would not be too hard to believe.

  • Or are we witnessing a panicked flight of the guilty on the eve of a coming round of real investigations?

  • Might there be a coming worldwide financial scandal that these individuals would drastically like to avoid?

Either way, 122 resignations from September to March at least sounds like a big number.

 

It would be nice to know exactly what the rate of resignation was in previous years. Until we are able to find that number, it might be wise for us to ask ourselves what these individuals know that we don’t.

Below is the list of resignations as compiled by AmericanKabuki.blogspot.com along with some additions at the end:
