INTERNATIONAL EMBARGO SANCTIONS BEING ENFORCED

GROUP OF EIGHT STANDING BY TO IMPOSE FULL SANCTIONS SOON

Monday 11 February 2008 18:17

G-7(8) SANCTIONS PAPERS SIGNED WITH THE WORLD COURT TODAY

SETTLEMENT HAS TO DONE NOW AND COMPLETED BY 6.00PM EDT MONDAY

IF SETTLEMENT IS ABORTED, THE U.S. PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, CABINET, CONGRESS AND THE SUPREME COURT WILL BE ARRESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE G-8'S WORLD COURT ORDERS (WE BELIEVE, BY THE U.S. MILITARY), ACCORDING TO FOCUSSED SOURCES

INTERNATIONAL BANKING WILL BE SHUT DOWN ON WEDNESDAY

FOUR OIL TANKERS OFF SAUDI ARABIA ORDERED TO STAND BY TO RETURN TO PORT

TWO AMERICAN SHIPS WERE TURNED AWAY BY JAPAN SUNDAY

ALL AMERICAN COMMERCIAL AND MILITARY AIRCRAFT ARE ON STAND-BY TO RETURN TO THEIR AMERICAN HUBS THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW IN THE EVENT OF NON-PAYMENT

FOREIGN CARRIERS WILL HAVE TO RETURN HOME BECAUSE OF RETALIATION

FULL-BLOWN GLOBAL TRADE AND FINANCIAL WARFARE WILL BREAK OUT IMMEDIATELY

THE WEST WILL BE SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE, BUT IT WILL BE SHOWN TO BE BUSH'S FAULT

THE UNITED STATES' BORDER WITH CANADA MAY HAVE TO BE CLOSED

NOTE ON THE DEFINITIONS OF THE VARIOUS GROUPS OF NATIONS REFERRED TO:
The Group of Eight and the Group of Ten: The Group of Eight consists of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia (admitted in 1998). The Group of Eight minus Russia is called the Group of Seven, and it continues to function in that format from time to time. The Group of Ten, confusingly, consists of 11 members: United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.

Thus there is overlap. It is generally thought that for practical purposes the Group of Ten (G-10) has integrated its strategy on sanctions against the United States, with the Group of Eight. In all current coverage, the ‘Black Sheep’ is the United States, which is obviously excluded from the drastic sanctions decisions that have been taken. It is absolutely unprecedented for the Group of Eight/Ten nations to implement economic embargo/sanctions against one of its member countries.

The controlled ‘mainstream media’ is so embarrassingly behind the curve over this crisis that it would be laughable if it were not pathetic. Certain controlled websites, ditto.

Your assistance will be very sincerely appreciated and will make a real difference, hastening the necessary resolution of the worst financial corruption and linked financial fallout in world history. Our Wantagate reports been calling all the shots, given the hijacking of Wanta's Settlement. This is the 92nd Wantagate report: over a million words to date.

• BOOKS: ‘The Red Terror in Russia’, by Sergey Melgounov, is published by Edward Harle Limited and available via this combined website. It describes what the Dark Forces pulled off in Russia, and what they may have in mind for the United States and Britain (a.k.a. ‘the Main Enemy’) if we do not pull ourselves together. See also the Editor’s 740-PAGE book ‘The New Underworld Order’, for the detailed background on the World Revolution crisis that we are all living through.

• Note: Please keep on not shooting the messenger. The following report is based upon our best information and belief. If matters turn out differently, or the timeframe changes, as has occurred since Saturday, this will reflect NEW developments AFTER collection of the intelligence contained herein. We have flies on walls all over the place, but sometimes they may be on the wrong walls.


THE INITIAL G-8 COMMUNIQUE IS DECEPTIVE
The G-8 issued a communique waffling about the turmoil in the credit markets without, of course, mentioning that the global financial crisis is 100% attributable to the massive long-term fraudulent finance offensive masterminded by an international criminal syndicate bent on seizing the assets of the whole world, in accordance with the Thousand-Year Reich delusion promulgated on behalf of the manic Pan-German elite by their intelligence clone Adolf Schickelgruber, a.k.a. Hitler, and their renegade Zionazi associates working together under the evil umbrella provided by the Dachau-based ‘Black’ German counterintelligence agency, Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst (DVD).

Of course, the purpose of the G-8's anodyne communique was to pretend that things are relatively normal, and also to cover the likelihood that settlement will take place, as well as saving the G-8/G-10 from having to assume the worst. But we believe a duplicate communique, which can be issued separately, is ready to be publicised in the event that the settlement process, which is believed to have begun, is aborted by the traitors and the crime syndicate, in collaboration with their criminal enterprise banking associates.

Ambassador Wanta’s $4.5 trillion (plus $350-$400 billion of interest due under the Universal Commercial Code) is held in a ‘package’ that is separate from all other payments, as we had stressed from the outset. This only became clear again within recent days.

DECISIVE SANCTIONS COMMUNIQUE READY TO BE ANNOUNCED
As indicated, issuance of the usual anodyne communique did not preclude the further issuance of a substantive one, spelling out the definitive features of the embargo sanctions against the United States, which military sources inform us, through intermediaries, are in place. The message from this source, timed and dated 11:03pm (UK time) 10th February 2008, stressed ‘without specifics that the sanctions are already in place, and the (US) military is fully aware and up to speed on it’.

The research group reporting to the Joint Chiefs had studied our posted reports dated 9th and 10th February, prior to providing us with these guarded observations. We naturally acknowledge their need for circumspection and do not complain about the lack of specifics here.

The military-sourced information included a further comment that the group believed that the Group of Eight will issue a statement about the embargo sanctions today.

However, illustrating how rapidly the situation is liable to change, this input is contradicted by three separate intelligence sources who now affirm that the drastic sanctions outlined in our two preceding reports will be implemented tomorrow, Tuesday 12th February 2008, should access and payment not have been effected by 6.00pm New York time this date (today). The sanctions are real, and we believe that if payment/settlement is again aborted, they will be implemented. Period.

RISING TENSION INDICATED BY BUSH’S ‘RETALIATION IN ADVANCE’
The Guardian led with a report on Monday 11th February to the effect that ‘Bush orders clampdown on flights to US: EU officials furious as Washington says it wants extra data on all passengers’.

The curiously timed report stated that the Bush Administration is pressing the 27 EU Governments to sign up for a new range of so-called security measures for transatlantic travel, including allowing armed guards on all flights by US airlines from Europe to America (such as may well be closed down tomorrow – Editor). The Guardian elaborated that ‘the demand to place armed air marshals onto the flights is part of a travel clampdown by the Bush regime that officials in Brussels have described as ‘blackmail’ and ‘troublesome’', etc etc.

But the way WE read this report, and its timing, is that the Bush Administration is, even at this late stage, trying to blackmail its way out of the bind for which its leadership’s own criminality is solely responsible. This development should be placed on the negative side of the ledger right now.

BUSH’S BAGMAN TRIGGERS INCREDULITY AT PARIBAS
The ‘excuse’ on Saturday was that this ‘Joe Gross’ character, believed to be Bush’s Bagman, Marvin Davis, whom we believe may be Marvin Bush, arrives at Paribas in a surprise visit last Friday, as we reported on 10th February, carrying instructions which diverged from all previous instructions. Prior to last Friday, the general instruction to all the criminal enterprise banks had been: ‘Go through the motions of complying with administrative procedures relative to payment, knowing that the process will be aborted as in the past’, in accordance with the ‘never-pay’ model developed by the arch financial criminal Dr Alan Greenspan in collaboration with Godfather George Bush Sr., that we have described in earlier reports.

The purpose of that model was to ensure that 100% of funds contributed by investors could remain stolen, along with Ambassador Wanta's funds and every cent leveraged off the top of them.

But on Friday, all of a sudden, Bush’s Bagman arrives at Paribas with an actual order to settle, and for the bank to get on with it without delay. As we described yesterday, this caused dismay among the bank’s General Management, because the institution had everything set up to ‘comply’ with the ‘never-pay’ model, and had never expected to be called upon to procure settlement at all.

Therefore, bank officers were dumbfounded and protested that they could not comply within the timeframe (namely: DO IT ON SATURDAY 9TH FEBRUARY, OR ELSE).

We concede that THIS demarche, too, could have been a deception, but given the overall flood of current intelligence, we doubt that this is the case. Time will shortly tell.

REITERATION OF THE AGREED-UPON G-8 SANCTIONS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
The other sanctions which will be applied, failing settlement by 6.00pm EDT today, include:

All US commercial and military flights to the nine G-10 countries will be refused landing permission. US carriers have accordingly been advised to stand by to fly all aircraft home.

Wire transfer payment and receive facilities handling US remittances involving the embargo-setting countries will be suspended, causing immense and far-reaching financial, followed by economic, disruption. International banking will be effectively closed down on Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia and the 'country level' of the oil cartel will cease oil deliveries to the United States.

SANCTIONS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES ARE ALREADY TAKING EFFECT
That NONE OF THIS IS BLUFF can now be asserted with complete confidence, because:

Two US Naval vessels attempting to berth in Japan were turned away and ordered to leave Japanese waters on Sunday 10th February.

Four oil tankers which are located half a day out from Saudi Arabia have received instructions to stay there until further notice. They will be ordered to return to Saudi Arabia if the release has not taken place by 6.00pm EDT TODAY.

President Chavez of Venezuela stated over the weekend that Venezuela may suspend its oil deliveries to the United States. The ostensible context of this threat is legal action by ExxonMobil in US, Dutch and British Courts aimed at the freezing of the assets of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDV) in order to obtain compensation from Venezuela following the earlier nationalisation by the Chavez Government of a large oil project. Chavez explicitly stated that ‘if Bush wants to harm us, we’ll harm him back’. This matter needs to be considered in the overall embargo/sanctions context described here and in the two preceding reports. In other words, if those 4 Saudi tankers turn back to Saudi Arabia, Venezuelan oil deliveries will not be available to the United States either.

To elaborate further:

All American commercial and military aircraft will be ordered to leave foreign locations and to return to their United States hubs in the event of the settlements being aborted today [see above]. This information has leaked because all US airlines have been so advised. This affects all foreign airlines that fly in and out of the United States as well.

International banking transactions will be completely collapsed by Wednesday in the event that the releases have not been implemented by 6.00pm today.

The US border with Canada may have to be closed.

It follows that the standard of living of all Americans will suffer a blow without precedent, and Americans will not know what has hit them. They will soon find out, when the entire Government is arrested: see here:

BUSH, CHENEY, ENTIRE CABINET, SUPREME COURT AND CONGRESS WILL BE ARRESTED
We further understand that the Group of Eight countries minus the United States (Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and Italy) signed the necessary paperwork with the World Court TODAY which provides for the prompt implementation of the already threatened arrests on treason charges of the following:

President George W. Bush Jr.
Vice President Richard Cheney
The entire Bush II Cabinet
All Members of Congress, including presidential candidates
The entire membership of the United States Supreme Court

In the light of special information about the US military being ‘fully up to speed with’ and on top of the rapidly developing situation, it stands to reason that the military will perform these arrests on behalf of the agents/agencies acting for the World Court, namely Interpol, MI6 and possibly other unnamed agencies. That is our working assumption.

It should be pointed out that all the above are themselves, without exception, also vulnerable to prosecution not least for breach of the Misprision of Felony Statute (as indeed is every reader of these reports who, knowing the facts of these criminal actions, fails to report them as specified in the Statute). It will be recalled from our list of Clinton Presidential Pardons that some of those who were pardoned by former President Clinton had been jailed on Misprision of Felony charges. It therefore follows that this is BY NO MEANS A DEAD STATUTE. On the contrary:

U.S. CODE, TITLE 18, PART 1, CHAPTER 1, SECTION 4: MISPRISION OF FELONY:
‘Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some Judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both’.

HELLISH KNOCK-ON CONSEQUENCES COULD BE IMMINENT: LINES AT GAS STATIONS
The knock-on consequences if the Wanta and other settlements are aborted today will be quite horrific. Given the idiotic ‘just-in-time’ globalisation procurement system, supplies of everything under the sun will suddenly dwindle to near-nothing. Prices and costs will go through the roof as shortages of everything, including food, intensify at once. Supplies of oil taken from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will alleviate the immediate impact of the oil embargo, but gasoline will have to be rationed, and lines will suddenly erupt at gas stations around the United States – which is the most politically sensitive of all developments for any US Government.

It will be blamed for the hardships that the American people will abruptly be called upon to endure. And those hardships will have been brought about exclusively by the criminal financial operations of the most corrupt US Administration in history, AND BY NO OTHER FACTOR.

The stock market will implode as the banking sector is closed down, banks will be on their last legs or will never reopen their doors, Wall Street will look ridiculous and will be seen to be redundant, the political consequences will be extreme, and heaven knows what grim social consequences will ensue. We would not be at all surprised to see racial attacks, including threats against bankers and other capitalists perceived to be thieves, as the truth of what has been going on seeps through the bovine resistance of the controlled ‘mainstream’ media, into the general public domain.

The actual state of the US financial system today has been well summarised by Bob Chapman in his ‘International Forecaster’. What Mr Chapman has to say rang true with this Editor, but we took steps to obtain a second opinion from an eminent expert, who said that Chapman’s report was ‘spot on’. In order not to spoil his hyperbole, we append his accurate description of where the United States is at, to this report, as an Appendix.

Quite clearly, if one major bank collapses, the resulting rolling systemic contagion will engulf all vulnerable banks worldwide. That this may occur in the event of the G-8’s threatened sanctions being applied against the United States (as has already started to happen: see above) is a virtual certainty. If the sanctions go fully into effect, wealth destruction may occur on a scale with no historical precedent, beggar-thy-neighbour trade warfare will erupt across the globe, exchange controls will be imposed, and it will hardly be long before physical warfare ensues, although one cannot yet predict what precise concatenation of evil events would trigger such an outcome.

U.S. MILITARY ‘FULLY UP TO SPEED’ AND READY FOR WORST CASE SCENARIO
As indicated above, the US military is reported by our impeccable sources to be ‘fully up to speed’ and ready for the worst case eventuality. Since, by defying the entire international community and continuing to renege on their formal undertakings and persisting with their endlessly proven, very closely monitored financial criminality, President Bush and Vice President Cheney will have acted contrary to their solemn obligations and against the interests of the United States and the American people, they will have committed gross treason (not that this would be anything new) and would in our opinion be certain to be arrested, along with the entire Cabinet, Members of Congress and the entire Supreme Court. This is provided for in the documents signed by the Group of Eight powers minus the United States with the World Court this morning. The US Supreme Court is in contempt and the clock is ticking on that score, as well.

The Editor of this service and others believe that the wayward schizophrenic in the White House is perfectly capable, as Adolf Hitler was, of doing the opposite of what is rational, since he, like Herr Shickelgruber, is dictated to by ‘familiars’ who tell him when to agree, when to renege on what he agreed yesterday, and when to stand on his head. He is also governed by the input of his manic CIA handlers, who are doubtless working to the DVD’s global calamity agenda. We therefore face, as we stated yesterday, the most critical global situation since 1939.

THE THREE OBVIOUS POSSIBILITIES
Obviously, there are three possibilities: (1) Settlement at last today; (2) Further defiance by the White House, leading to the promulgation and formalisation of the sanctions that are already in force tomorrow; (3) Further ‘slide’ in the situation, as in the past.

However we believe that the international community is so seized of the urgency of the situation that the third alternative is less likely than either (1) or (2). But one thing is certain: None of this would have come about had it not been for EXPOSURE, as the Syndicate never had, as we now know for certain, any intention of paying any payee a single penny. Ever.

APPENDIX:

The worst case scenario is described here by Bob Chapman in his ‘International Forecaster’. It accurately describes the state of affairs as it exists today: so the worst case scenario is where we’re at already. It can only be averted by settlement and prompt implementation of The Wanta Plan. The Editor has left Mr Chapman’s engagingly forceful language unchanged with the exception of a mild (if understandable) expletive, the incidence of which has been somewhat reduced.

Our only comment would be that, in his first sentence, he should have stated ‘You need look no further than the World Reports website, before then looking inside ‘the offices occupied by credit managers and loan underwriters and banks and lending institutions around the world’’. Not being aware of Wantagate placed Mr Chapman at something of a disadvantage, although his diagnosis is brilliant and accurate. Because he didn’t choose to factor The Wanta Plan and the settlements into his analysis, he implies that the meltdown that he so graphically describes is unavoidable: whereas while we agree with him that 'it could be', we also know that The Wanta Plan and the settlements will ‘rescue’ the situation at the final nanosecond.

The cost of this will be something approaching hyperinflation in 18 months' time, which will be attributable exclusively to the serial financial criminality of the Bushite-Clinton faction of the international geopolitical financial fraud syndicate. The forthcoming inflationary holocaust will probably decimate the next US Government, as may possibly be intended. ‘Enjoy’ (ugh).



US MARKETS

If you're still wondering what the current credit-crunch catastrophe is all about, you need look no further than the offices occupied by credit managers and loan underwriters at banks and lending institutions around the world. Each time one of these poor, unfortunate souls picks up a loan file, bullets of sweat start to run down their foreheads as their minds are filled with ominous foreboding and their hearts are gripped by a deadly mixture of bone-chilling horror and stark, raving terror, wondering whether this particular loan will be the one that ends their wavering career and the very handsome salaries and bonuses that they have become accustomed to receiving over the past several years during which defaults have been virtually nonexistent. What are they afraid of?

According to a recent article by Jim Willie, there are a total of some 10.4 trillion dollars worth of dollar-denominated bonds of which at least 7 trillion dollars worth are prime AAA and of which about 1.4 trillion dollars worth are subprime BBB, with the remainder being Alt-A's which are somewhere in between. He further states that according to the various bond indices, the prime bonds have lost about 30% of their value, amounting to a loss of about 2.1 trillion dollars, which Wall Street refuses to even discuss, while the subprime bonds have lost about 80% of their value, amounting to a loss of about 1.1 trillion dollars. And let's not forget the ALT-A's which are kicking in another cool trillion in losses and which the pirates of Wall Street are still dancing around much the same way that a bandito's victim would do a Mexican hat dance around a sombrero while bullets whistle and ricochet around his wildly moving feet. FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON, BATMAN, THAT'S A MIND-BLOWING 4.2 TRILLION DOLLARS OF LOSSES!!!

Yes, you read that correctly, that's trillion with a "T" and this combined total is close to one third of the entire US Gross Domestic Product, which has just been 'flushed' in a matter of months!

These jaw-dropping losses on AAA, ALT-A and BBB paper are greater by a factor of ten than the grossly understated loss figures that the three stooges of our financial system, meaning our corrupt government, Wall Street and corporate America, would have us believe!

This unbelievable total of 4.2 trillion dollars of losses is spread around the globe, and due to our opaque and completely unregulated system of banking and finance, for which we can thank our farcical, fraudulent, feckless Fed, no-one knows where the freak any of these losses are or who the walking-dead victims are! This is like a financial nightmare adaptation of George Romero's horror classics "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead".

And this does not even take into account the multiplication of these losses due to leverage or the further downgrading of AAA paper due to the loss of AAA status by bond insurers which is the only thing that made many of these bonds AAA in the first place! If you were a credit manager or a loan underwriter, would you approve a multi-million or multi-billion dollar loan to anyone for any reason unless you were absolutely 100% sure you would get repaid on time?

Every time you pick up a file, it's like playing Russian roulette with your career for crying out loud! And you were wondering why we have a credit crunch? We wonder why any loans get approved AT ALL! In fact, we're starting to feel some of that bone-chilling horror ourselves as we try to wrap our minds around the immensity of these problems.

What have these madmen done to the world economy?! If you are a credit manager or a loan underwriter, you're not looking at a 70 or 80 percent recovery if one of these zombies is on your approval list. You're looking at a big goose egg, a big ZIPPO, and we don't mean the kind you use to light cigarettes! This is where a bevy of security guards show up in your office and ask you to empty out your desk after which they quietly escort you out the front door to your car and insist that you leave the premises immediately.

And Heaven forbid that anyone should so much as whisper anything about the potential losses from credit default swaps and interest rate swaps lest they die of a huge myocardial infarction from merely discussing such losses, much less trying to comprehend them, because the magnitude and consequences of such losses are completely unprecedented and beyond the ken of mortal men!

We are told that there are 450 trillion dollars of notional bond debt covered by interest rate swaps, which is about thirty times US GDP. This is sheer madness. We are told in "studies" that the losses
should be limited to about 6%, or "only" 27 trillion dollars [WHICH 'JUST HAPPENS' TO BE THE WANTA FIGURE: Editor]. That alone is enough to send chills up and down your spine while your single heart palpitates. But aren't these the same people that told us the real estate markets were experiencing a slight downturn and that it would be contained?

And didn't they say the same thing about the credit crunch? What if they're wrong again this time?! What if it's 7%. That's "only" another 4.5 trillion dollars of losses! That's more than all the prime, Alt-A and subprime bond losses put together (at least so far)! What if it's 20%? That would be a 90 trillion dollar loss! That's 6 times GDP for Pete's sake!

And what about all the lunatics who bought crazy credit default swaps without buying any of the underlying bond debt. Don't they know that in order to make a claim under a credit default swap you have to turn the security over to the insurer, or you're dead in the water? And what happens when the amount of the swaps exceeds the debt that is supposed to be covered. Is everyone supposed to play musical chairs to see who is left standing without holding a bond to redeem?

Has anyone involved had so much as a single thought going through their heads while all this was happening? This credit default swap situation alone is pure unadulterated lunacy, but we have not even mentioned the interest rate swaps yet. There's another 600 trillion of notional principal wrapped up in these weapons of mass financial destruction.

That's forty times GDP in notional principal. Who was asleep at the wheel while these puppies multiplied? For every trillion of notional principal, all those who are on the wrong end of these thermonuclear devices by only a 1% differential between fixed and variable rates get to eat 10 billion in losses. When we get double digit inflation due to rampaging risk reassessment from imploding bonds and credit default swaps while the Fed attempts in vain to raise rates [SEE PREVIOUS REPORT: Editor] to stop hyper-stagflation as it reaches full bloom in its reign of terror, what if the differential between fixed and variable returns for those on the wrong end of these reserve-vaporizers rockets to 10%.

That is 100 billion per trillion of notional principal. Whew, we sure hope the big banks who own most of these reserve-destroying financial meat grinders don't have lopsided trading positions between fixed and variable rate swaps, but given what we've seen so far, we hold out little hope for a good conclusion. [Editor: That’s because Mr Chapmen never read up about Wantagate and The Wanta Plan: just shows what thought ‘compartmentalisation’ does, doesn’t it?].

Bank reserves are being eaten alive by loan defaults and asset write-downs faster than the Fed can replace them. That is because the fractional reserve system Ponzi scheme is now working in reverse and unravelling big-time. The Federal Reserve and Wall Street made a big blunder and grossly underestimated the percentage of loan defaults from toxic waste and the impact that this would have in non-subprime sectors while they grossly overestimated the liquidity of this kind of maniac paper and falsely boosted its credit rating.

And remember, the Fed cannot control the creation of credit by non-bank institutions, which are also getting hammered. The banks that dabbled in toxic waste must either borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve, or call in a total of demand loans equal to 7 or 8 times the amount of reserves
that have been lost, or they will become insolvent and have to be liquidated by the FDIC which in the end won't even be able to pay losses at pennies on the dollar while the entire financial system comes tumbling down unceremoniously.

That is why the discount window is wide open. If banks are forced to call in loans, the party is over. The whole system will implode and deflate. The banks can't even roll over the paper they used to fund mortgage loans and the government has had to step in with the FHLB and Fannie and Freddie to replace the lost loan capital. The Federal Reserve is fighting so many battles on so many fronts that their heads must spinning like Linda Blair's character in "The Exorcist".

While all this is happening, the over six hundred billion in home equity loans that fuelled consumer spending last year have been completely cut off. Two trillion dollars' worth of home value has been lost on account of declining home values as the US real estate market explodes and goes down in flames, and who knows how much in stock losses has been suffered since the end of 2007?

Does anyone have any money or equity left, we wonder? What will fuel consumer spending and stop the economy from going into a deep recession [ANSWER: CONSEQUENECS OF THE WANTA PLAN AND THE SETTLEMENTS: Editor]. The ISM services sector reading has already completely
collapsed while consumer confidence reported for the RBC Cash Index has plummeted to the lowest levels since the index was created in 2002.

What hope does our economy have when the 150 billion stimulus package is only one quarter of the home equity injections that will be lost for 2008 that helped keep us moving in 2007? We sit here stunned and comatose as the circuits in our brains are fried by these financial lightning bolts [Editor: And because we haven’t taken Wantagate on board]. This whole situation is going to turn into a disaster of epic proportions from which we may not recover for many, many years, if ever.

HERE THE EDITOR MUST INTERJECT: AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE CRIMINALITY BECAME THE NORM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 'ANOMIE' ENVIRONMENT DESCRIBED BY EMILE DURKHEIM (1858-1917).

Move over Japan, we're going to show you a thing or two about how to implode an economy so that it doesn't recover for decades! The big banks are going to have to completely empty the sovereign wealth funds just to stay afloat! After this utterly magnificent debacle is all over, visitors entering the United States will be given the following greeting by US customs officials:

‘Welcome to the United Banana Republics of America (UBRA). Please watch your wallets as former central bankers are known to inhabit these territories. Due to the EXTREMELY high concentration of unemployed bankers, brokers, loan originators and real estate agents, the use of shark repellant is highly recommended. In the UBRA, only gold and silver coin* is acceptable as payment for goods. If you brought paper money, that's fine, since you can always use it as fuel to keep warm. We hope you brought your own food because we don't have any. But if you want to drink some ethanol, we have plenty of that. It has quite a kick too! We use it stay inebriated so we don't have to deal with our problems, which are endless. Be advised that you enter this country at your own risk. That is because all weapons have been confiscated, so you're on your own. Have a nice trip!’

*New York stores are reportly displaying 'WE ACCEPT EUROS' signs

When the smart money finally gets a grip on all this madness, gold is not going to through the ozone. Gold is not going into the stratosphere. Gold is not going to the moon. Gold is not going into the solar system. Gold is not even going intergalactic. Gold is going inter-dimensional as it passes through a wormhole and explodes past the Einstein-DeSitter radius at the outermost bounds of the visible universe! ENDS.

Editor’s Note: We did warn erstwhile friends in the US welfare industry that if Wantagate failed, they would wind up running soup kitchens. Unfortunately, that warning went in one ear and out the other, like so many others.



WANTAGATE FILE DATA, INCLUDING STATUTES AND S.E.C. RULES FLOUTED BY THE CROOKS:

CITIBANK MUST PAY $350 BILLION+ INTEREST UNDER U.C.C. REGULATIONS
Uniform Commercial Code: Article 4A – Funds Transfer: Section 4A-305:
LIABILITY FOR LATE OR IMPROPER EXECUTION OR FAILURE TO EXECUTE PAYMENT ORDER:

(a) If a funds transfer is completed but execution of a payment order by the receiving bank… results in delay in payment to the beneficiary, the bank is obliged to pay interest… to the beneficiary of the funds transfer for the period of delay caused by the improper execution.

As stated in our report dated 4th October, we then calculated that the amount of interest payable to the beneficiary by Citibank, given its delay in paying out the diverted funds since June 2006, was around $350 billion. This amount is rising BY THE DAY, and is now approaching $400 billion.

• [As we revealed at the time] Citibank ‘agreed’ to pay $352 billion by way of interest, following our publication of the above statements. However, the Editor, not being a banker, merely made a rough guestimate at the amount of interest payable by Citibank, consequent upon its criminal frustration and diversion of the Settlement funds since June 2006.

• The actual amount of interest payable by Citibank as an interest penalty, if calculated on the basis of overnight rates, might approximate well over $1.0 trillion. So the institution, having been made aware of our posting dated 1st November, grabbed the Editor’s rough estimate of $350 billion, and added a couple of billion on to make the figure look different. ENDS.
