Jean-Claude Van Damme calls out Rothschild and Rockefeller on live TV

Appearing on the French television show, Le Grand Journal, Jean-Claude Van Damme (JCVD) just showed the world that even he is aware of the control and power of the Rothschild and Rockefeller families.

Van Damme was invited on the French show to speak about the US elections and commented on Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Vladimir Putin.

However, he quickly hijacked the narrative and went on to explain how the Rothschild and Rockefeller families control the politicians and run the world from behind the scenes.

Law & Getting Back Our Sovereignty Part5: Foreclosures

This show details the sheer fraud and the collusion between the courts and the banks, from people who have done their homework to expose the fraud, and to expose how the people themselves are the CREDIT for the loans that they are being double-charged. This is an obligation of the United States Government that has been stolen by the Agencies. They charge us to cover up their embezzlement. This is an astonishing charge, until you follow the money trail and understand that that is exactly what is happening in the courtrooms across America - and across the world.

Dr Christina Winsey, from Sarasota, FL, has been fighting a Foreclosure for her family home since 2010. Her lawyer quit in October, 2013, and she had to take over her own case. What she has learned since that has made her become an expert in the Foreclosure Fraud Machine. She has learned that the Judges are in collusion with the Banks against the homeowner. Yet, she has prevailed, bringing in an Expert Witness who has helped her take her appeal where her evidence will have to be heard by the Court. She has created an amazing support network that she shares with others in similar circumstance.

[8:29:34 PM] Rebecca Cope: Jennifer Pippin, of Pippin Home Designs, has recently been named a FELLOW of the AIBD, her professional organizatio. She is only one of two women named in the 64-year history of the organization. She and husband Wes remodeled the home that has been in foreclosure since the banking crisis was deliberately created by the "Too Big to Fail" Banks. She has prevailed, and has a truck-load of paperwork to show how diligently she has dug in her heels to protect the lovely home she shares with so many. Jennifer freely shares her techniques with others, and encourages them to prevail. It is a mindset, and you CAN prevail.

For information, contact rebecca@humanitad.org, christina.winsey@verizon.net, or jenny@pippinhomedesigns.com. There is a large antiforeclosurenetwork available to help. http://AFNetwork.org.

The BBS Show features Rod Class and his brother Dwight Class, both Private Attorney Generals and Bounty Hunters with a Congressional Mandate to hold Public Officials accountable to the Rule of Law. DJ Harvey, who is the Co-host of the AIB Radio Show, joins us to share the historical significance of the learning that has taken place over the years. Lamont, who was over knowledgeable Videographer for the PAG Conference, also joins in to give his special perspective. Lamont works with Public TV with the Paula Gloria Show.

Cash Deposits Now Require Fee Charges at Some Banks

Staff Writer, R. Patrick Chapman
Banks / Finance / Glass-Steagall Act
______________________________

It has begun. The crime of cash has manifested at Chase Bank. With bail-outs and now bail-ins, the brunt of sustaining the multinational banks lays at the feet of customers. 

No longer is banking profitable. The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act limits what fees can and cannot be levied leaving banks feeling the pinch.

The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation capped debit card interchange fees for banks with assets of $10 billion. Credit card and prepaid card interchange fees were not regulated. The cap, which took effect on October 11, 2011, cut the average interchange fee for covered banks from $0.50 to $0.24 per transaction.

The cap reduced annual revenues from interchange fees by between $6 billion and $8 billion. Covered banks have recouped these losses in indirect ways. In particular, they have:

- Reduced the availability of fee-free current accounts. The total number of banks offering free current accounts fell by 50% between 2009 and 2013. In comparison, fee-free banking actually increased at banks not subject to the Durbin Amendment.
- More than doubled the minimum monthly holding required on fee-free current accounts between 2009 and 2012, from around $250 to over $750.
- Doubled average monthly fees on (non-free) current accounts between 2009 and 2013, from around $6 to more than $12.
- These fee increases and loss of access to free checking contributed to an increase in the unbanked population of approximately 1 million people, mainly among low-income families.
- Consumers have shifted their payment usage from debit cards to credit and prepaid cards, which were not subjected to price controls.

Most large retailers have seen significant cost reductions as a result of the Durbin Amendment, yet to date there is no evidence that those cost savings have been passed-through to consumers. Interchange fees have increased for merchants that make small-ticket transactions, as networks have eliminated discounts that they previously received, and smaller merchants have not seen any reduction in their merchant discount rates. Thus, while consumers have seen large and immediate increases in the cost of bank accounts, to date there is no evidence of reduced prices at the pump or checkout. We estimate that as a result of the Durbin Amendment, there will be a transfer of $1 billion to $3 billion annually from low-income households to large retailers and their shareholders, which have been the primary beneficiaries of the Durbin Amendment to date.

Instead of creating revenue with the large accounts of wealthier clients, Chase has opted to charge anyone for depositing cash. The banks want to stop the fear that bank runs are near due to the recurrent recession and coming economic collapse of the PetroDollar.

It's okay for banks to trash the economies of the world, deepen financial uncertainty, create unstable job markets, and monetize debt based derivatives, but do not dare control how banks rip off customers with fees.

Perhaps if Congress reinstituted the Glass-Steagall Act that banks could be broken up into their regulatory sectors, banking/finance versus speculation/gambling, and then banking with accounts could become profitable again. 

As a result of the bank closings [of 1933] and the already devastated economy, public confidence in the U.S. financial structure was low. In order to restore the banking public's confidence that banks would follow reasonable banking practices, Congress created the Glass-Steagall Act. The act forced a separation of commercial and investment banks by preventing commercial banks from underwriting securities, with the exception of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, and municipal and state general-obligation securities. Likewise, investment banks may not engage in the business of receiving deposits.

Investment banking consists mostly of securities underwriting and related activities; making a market in securities; and setting up corporate mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring. Investment banking also includes services provided by brokers or dealers in transactions in the secondary market.

The Glass-Steagall Act restored public confidence in banking practices during the Great Depression. However, many historians believe that the commercial bank securities practices of the time had little actual effect on the already devastated economy and were not a major contributor to the Depression. Some legislators and bank reformers argued that the act was never necessary, or that it had become outdated and should be repealed.

And Americans saw how outdated the Glass-Steagall Act when the law was repealed and the economic crash of 2008 occurred. Of course big business can regulate itself for the good of the people. Not.

Just like in the past where once bank accounts, free ones included and depositing cash, was after all how the banks became Too Big To Fail, so how is it that going back to such a rudimentary system is now unprofitable in this private sector?

Sounds like the banks do not want to abide by the rules or the rule of law. Another bubble is about to burst taking with it the rest of the economy. When will Congress learn that large corporations must be regulated? At this point in corporate greed and lawlessness, never. Congress is lobbied too heavily to do the right thing.

So keep your bounty of pennies in your mattresses. 

It's probably safer there anyway.

Follow the Money? How About Follow the Dead Bodies? Until the Reset Begins

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Banking / Economic Reset
______________________________

In any type of investigation, all one has to do to find motive, means, and opportunity is to follow the money. Lately, however, money in the form of bankers is not the trail. Their dead bodies are.

A quick internet search found this list of dead bankers from 2006 to 2011:

1. Andrei Kozlov, (CENTRAL BANKER 9/12/2006
2. Seth Tobias, (CNBC CONTRIBUTER)HEDGE FUND MGR
3. Paul Gillmore, (US CONGRESS) 9/5/2007
4. Oleg Zhukovsky (HEDGE FUND MANAGER)
5. Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, HEDGE FUND MANAGER January 1, 2009
6. Michael Klein, HEDGE FUND MANAGER
7. Kirk Wright HEDGE FUND MANAGER
8. Alex Widmer CEO BANK OF SWITZERLAND
9. Adolph Merckle GERMAN FINANCIER
10. Kirk Stephenson WALL STREET BANKER
11. David Kellerman FREDDIEMAC CFO
12. William Parente NEW YORK TAX ATTORNEY
13. Richard Egan Co-founder EMC
14. Anjool Malde Deutsche Bank Equity Sales
15. Finn Casperson Former Head of Beneficial
16. Danny Pang Newport Beach financier
17. James MacDonald Rockefeller CEO
18. Chris Kelly Blagojevich fundraiser
19. James Vellanti JNF Asset Management LLC
20. Jeffrey Buckalew Greenhill & Co. 12/20/2011
21. Rakesh Chawla Greenhill & Co. 12/20/2011

As shown some bankers have a short life span, but bankers only die a few times a year. In this five year time space approximately 4.2 bankers died a year, statistically unremarkable in comparison with the rest of the population. Fast forward to the last couple of months...

A rash of dead bankers begins with a missing Wall Street Journal reporter that worked at the Dow Jones news desk. As of January 11, 2014, David Bird has not been seen since going for a walk. He reported on oil and commodities, which were under investigation by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations for price manipulation.

Now for the current timeline of "suicided" bankers are as follows:

1. Tim Dickenson Swiss Re AG January 26, 2014
2. William Broeksmit Deutsche Bank January 26, 2014
3. Karl Slym Tata Motors January 27, 2014
4. Gabriel Magee JP Morgan January 28, 2014
5. Mike Dueker Russell Investment/St. Louis Federal Reserve January 29, 2014
6. Ryan Henry Crane JPMorgan’s Global Equities Group/ Worked w/ Magee February 3, 2014
7. Richard Talley American Title February 6, 2014
8. Li Junjie JP Morgan HQ Hong Kong February 18, 2014

That is eight within two months. If you believe that this record shows banker deaths have escalated disproportionate to past years, you are not alone, but the story is more complicated than several suspicious deaths.

As the economic yarn of the world continues to unravel, reports of unrest and decline are showing:

#1 The unemployment rate in Greece has hit a brand new record high of 28 percent.
#2 The youth unemployment rate in Greece has hit a brand new record high of 64.1 percent.
#3 The percentage of bad loans in Italy is at an all-time record high.
#4 Italian industrial output declined again in December, and the Italian government is on the verge of collapse.
#5 The number of jobseekers in France has risen for 30 of the last 32 months, and at this point it has climbed to a new all-time record high.
#6 The total number of business failures in France in 2013 was even higher than in any year during the last financial crisis.
#7 It is being projected that housing prices in Spain will fall another 10 to 15 percent as their economic depression deepens.
#8 The economic and political turmoil in Turkey is spinning out of control. The government has resorted to blasting protesters with pepper spray and water cannons in a desperate attempt to restore order.
#9 It is being estimated that the inflation rate in Argentina is now over 40 percent, and the peso is absolutely collapsing.
#10 Gangs of armed bandits are roaming the streets in Venezuela as the economic chaos in that troubled nation continues to escalate.
#11 China appears to be very serious about deleveraging. The deflationary effects of this are going to be felt all over the planet. The following is an excerpt from Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's recent article entitled "World asleep as China tightens deflationary vice"...
#12 There was a significant debt default by a coal company in China last Friday...
#13 Japan's Nikkei stock index has already fallen by 14 percent so far in 2014. That is a massive decline in just a month and a half.
#14 Ukraine continues to fall apart financially...
#15 The unemployment rate in Australia has risen to the highest level in more than 10 years.
#16 The central bank of India is in a panic over the way that Federal Reserve tapering is effecting their financial system.
#17 The effects of Federal Reserve tapering are also being felt in Thailand...
#18 One of Ghana's most prominent economists says that the economy of Ghana will crash by June if something dramatic is not done.
#19 Yet another banker has mysteriously died during the prime years of his life. That makes five "suspicious banker deaths" in just the past two weeks alone.
#20 The behavior of the U.S. stock market continues to parallel the behavior of the U.S. stock market in 1929.

Zero Hedge adds to this Economic Collapse article with:

-According to the Bangkok Post, people are "stampeding to yank their deposits out of banks" in Thailand right now.
-Venezuela is coming apart at the seams. Just check out the photos in this article.
-The unemployment rate in South Africa is above 24 percent.
-Ukraine is on the verge of total collapse...
-This week we learned that the level of bad loans in Spain has risen to a new all-time high of 13.6 percent.
-China is starting to quietly sell off U.S. debt. Already, Chinese U.S. Treasury holdings are down to their lowest level in almost a year.
-During the 4th quarter of 2013, U.S. consumer debt rose at the fastest pace since 2007.
-U.S. homebuilder confidence just experienced the largest one month decline ever recorded.
-George Soros has doubled his bet that the S&P 500 is going to crash. His total bet is now up to about $1,300,000,000

Have you now asked yourself WTF is going on?

It is really simple: the world is economically falling apart. Don't worry CO2 didn't cause it. The Central Banking system, for which the Federal Reserve is a member, did cause this economic terrorism, on purpose. You read that right. The attack on the middle class and the goal to impoverish nations in mountains of fake debt has been by design.

A system of control cannot be implemented (like a total police state) unless the people are unable to fight back in any capacity.

What does that have to do in the escalation of dead bankers?

There is a war going on in the shadows of the world. Sometimes that raging war almost touches us. So far we have been lucky. We have avoided a nuclear false flag event here in the United States by our own government (Before It's News). It was to set up Syria and begin a nuclear war in the Middle East.

Even Lindsey Graham cried that a nuclear strike on South Carolina was imminent (Before It's News). Sounds like he knew before hand and did nothing to stop this unprovoked attack by the United States government.

It's not a joke. It's not even a theory. The small elite council of nine men in concert with about 400 other people including politicians, bankers, tax free foundations, CEO's, journalists, clergy, and other well connected individuals have sought to deconstruct the world via food, water, air, and environment so they can live here on Earth in peace without the rest of us: chattel, useless eaters.

No mental illness there between those elites, now is there?

In their death throes, these elite mad -men and -women are still causing the destruction that they believe they have the right to do in order to assert their control over the people of the Earth. Ukraine has been targeted to provoke Russia and China into a Third World War. Since our current administration and the shadow government that runs the world through the Central Banks could not attack Syria, Ukraine was brought into civil unrest by the agents of the US government and other countries loyal to this insane elite. If these elites cannot win one way, then they will plunge us all into the Dark Ages of war and starvation through permanent gold backwardationn.

Sound farfetched? Watch: The Secret Constitution and Bank Wars with Karen Hudes.

The VDP Gazette is not the mainstream media. We do not make up stories and eschew the facts.

In light of reports that have come across the VDP Gazette's news desk, this editor has warned friends and neighbors about the changes coming to the world and to get prepared. Yes, I was called that. That too. Oh, and that is my favorite! But name calling does not make me any less right.

As a courtesy, this editor is extending to the VDP Gazette readers the same advice. Just from what is happening in the world, you would believe a dire warning has already commenced and everyone should batten down the hatches. Not necessarily.

Although from the sources that keep coming up in extensive research, a two week supply of food (nonperishable), water, pet food, and daily supplies would be wise. A couple of sources encouraged people to have six months supplies of everything, but that might be a little extreme. We're not having a nuclear winter like China, due to their smog issues; we're having a Global Reset.

All the ills of the world that have been listed in this article are about to disappear... forever. Right after this reset and the people of the world clean up the mess the elite have left us, including the elite. Governments and economic structures will have to be re-established and regulated including here in the United States

The VDP Gazette will be publishing some future articles with this reset of our government in mind, so please watch for those ones.

There might be some hiccups as a new currency for the United States is issued through the Treasury department. Banks might fail. Some disruptions in supplies could be seen anytime from March into July.

So as a precaution stock up on supplies and some cash in a calm, responsible manner. 

If everything goes as planned, you will see nothing except new cash in your hands the next time you go to the store or bank. Just in case, be proactive.

Very soon, a world without "follow the bodies" may be ours and a new Intellectual/Creative Renaissance may take shape.

DaVinci, here we come.

The Economics of a Real Life Monopoly Game

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Economics / Government

______________________________________

Well the bets are in: it looks like another down turn for the economy after the first of the year according to a Reuters article: 

"There may come a point where the financial markets say none of their debt is credible anymore and they can't finance themselves," Eugene F. Fama, one of the three Americans who won this year's Nobel prize, told Reuters in the snow-covered Swedish capital, where he will receive his prize on Tuesday. "If there is another recession, it is going to be worldwide."

Let me get this straight. The unbacked, fiat currencies the world uses at the behest of global banking syndicates to inflate money, cause devaluation, and create mountains of debt is not credible and unable to finance the world?

Get that Peace Prize out of your ear, a third grader could have told us that. It's called: Monopoly. It's a board game with fake money to pay for cars, land, buildings, and sometimes to get you out of jail. Sound familiar?

It's exactly what has been happening in the world for decades. Some group of disturbed individuals has decided that globalism is the way to go for economics, law, and education. In the 1980's as China was in a recession and Japan was in a deep depression for over a decade, the US seemed impervious to their economic decline.

Thanks to treasonous "Trade Agreements" and "Treaties," the US has seen it's economic powerhouse dissolve into the Wall Street Gambling Casino, To Big To Fail Bank Drug Laundering Establishments, and the Military-Industrial Complex No Bid Contract Schemes.
 

Report: $8.5 trillion unaccounted for by Pentagon; $5.8 billion of supplies lost... and Special Report: The Pentagon's doctored ledgers conceal epic waste from Reuters.
 

In the article, Money Laundering and The Drug Trade: The Role of the Banks. We discover that "HSBC, Western Union, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase&Co, Citigroup, Wachovia amongst many others have allegedly failed to comply with American anti-money laundering (AML) laws."
  

Viewpoint: How Wall Street Rigs the Game by Time Business and Money stated that:

Also consider where the gambling takes place. In a real casino, it is on a casino floor with cameras all over the place. Even if you don’t like Las Vegas gambling, it is regulated. On Wall Street, by contrast, the gambling can be moved to a darkened room where nothing is recorded, observed or tracked. With opaque unregulated derivatives, there are no cameras. In this smoke-filled room, there is maximum temptation to try to exploit unsophisticated investors and conflicts of interest. And this temptation and lack of transparency are what led to the global financial crisis in 2008.

(Tell the Truth: you thought I was making the news up, didn't you? Sorry, just the facts.)

So the whole wide world with no economic boundaries to stop devastating collapse of monetary systems and nations is unsustainable? Yep, just like sustainability itself. The globe is a giant game of Monopoly to a few elites. With Geitner and other oligarchic cronies pushing other countries to deregulate their banking and housing laws prior to the 2008 collapse, the game was set.

However, unlike the elites, many people could not hedge their bets. People lost their homes, their possessions, and their livelihoods. Everything.

What's worse is that this economic globalist catastrophe was done on purpose. Someone needs to go to jail. Let's rephrase that: Lots of people need to go to jail.

In Monopoly like in this current fascist reality, these criminals keep producing the "Get out of Jail Free" card.

The cure for continued economic duplicity and terrorism: no more adhering to "Trade Agreements" or "Treaties" that do not hold protectionist clauses for America, her workers, or her economic stability. No more gambling of people's money through Wall Street. No more laundering drug money via banks. No more money goes to the Pentagon until someone learns to add and subtract.

It is a very rudimentary formula. Any economist would understand it, even one who has won the Noble Peace Prize. Well so did our President and he kills women and children near daily in other countries via drones. Therefore, little hope can be bestowed on anyone to mitigate the coming economic depression of 2014.

Instead of implementing real solutions, we will praise our American economists for their shiny new toys. Meanwhile back in the states, Americans will have their pensions looted and their homes foreclosed on. It's just another day in AmeriKa.

Don't you wish we could go back to a time before the egomaniacs hell bent on global domination gained control of our nation?
