The Underground Investor

Fear & Panic are the Banking Cartel’s Weapons V. the Gold & Silver Bull. Patience and Logic are the Best Defense.

Admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:21:34 +0000

Currently, there is massive negativity surrounding gold and silver and in particular, gold and silver mining stocks. At times like this, when gold and silver have taken a fairly brutal hit in a condensed period of time thanks to low daily trading volumes both in PM futures and PM stock markets that make it very easy for the banking cartel to manipulate them, it can be difficult not to sell out of everything and run for the hills if one allows emotions to dictate one’s decisions (always a bad move). Especially at a time when fundamentals mean virtually nothing and speculators like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are constantly rigging markets and gaming the system through their High Frequency Trading (HFT) programs, it is difficult not to become emotional with your investment decisions. Thus it is important to take a step back from the here and now, and to look at the big picture to re-gain a better grasp of where asset prices will be heading in the future and to re-establish the proper perspective with which to evaluate your decisions. At various times this year, based upon global risk factors and fundamentals, when gold and silver should have been rising, both of these precious metals were falling, and sometimes dramatically. Other times, when risk factors of global banks were elevated and financial stocks should have been falling, they instead, were rising in price.

Such movements that are the result of market rigging and the absence of free markets can be incredibly trying at times and an environment in which it is incredibly difficult to stick to one’s guns. In fact price movements of assets have been so rigged this year that such inexplicable, bizarre price movements finally prompted Mr. Joseph Saluzzi, co-founder of the brokerage firm Themis Trading, to state, in response to a soaring Bank of America stock price in the face of woeful fundamentals this past February: “The movement of Bank of America stock on most days has nothing to do with Bank of America.” Likewise, intra-day movements in gold and silver price on most days have nothing to do with gold and silver as well but merely are the direct result of HFT programs meddling in the futures markets. If the price of gold and silver were actually set in free markets, we would be staring at gold and silver prices today that would both respectively be at a minimum, 100% higher than their current prices right now.

As I wholly understood the Wall Street and banking cartel rigging game, on January 3, 2012, in preparation for the coming year, I informed my clients at that time to be prepared for “massive volatility” in gold and silver this year. I stated at the very beginning of this year in my client newsletter: “Volatility in gold and silver assets will likely be fierce once again in 2012 because of the fact that the criminal banking cartel will fight with every tactic at their disposal to suppress gold and silver prices as their empire crumbles, much like a cornered wild animal would react to a top predator that wishes to kill and eat it. It will do anything to survive. As we inch closer to the death of one, or both the Euro and the USD, a fate that I believe is inevitable and that we WILL experience in our lifetimes, unfortunately, the volatility that we experienced in 2011 will be repeated in 2012, with one significant caveat. Even though I expect a wild ride in gold and silver assets in 2012, I expect the end of the year prices to make a much larger jump higher in gold and silver this year as opposed to 2011, and I expect the probability for mining stocks to have a strongly positive year in 2012 to be much higher than last year. Thus I expect to see huge rapid movements higher in gold and silver at times, countered with wild swings down at times by panicked banker counter-responses. We’ve already seen that the elite banking cartel has zero morals when cornered and that they will resort to outright theft to protect their empire if necessary.”

Though it may seem like a remote possibility to many at the current time that gold and silver rise much higher by the end of this year than their prices at the start this year, I still support this premise. For one, it should be clearly apparent, as I very well predicted massive volatility in gold and silver for 2012 as the norm, that such rapid and extreme price suppression schemes executed against gold and silver by the banking cartel is a direct reflection of how close we are to total systemic failure of the global financial system. Of course, the most massive volatility in gold and silver that we experienced thus far occurred in 2008, which coincidentally marked the worst stock market plunges we have experienced during this crisis thus far. The fact that the banking cartel has attacked gold and silver so strongly again this year merely indicates that the global financial system is in much much worse shape than the propaganda that they are distributing through the mass media that everything is okay that they are selling to the masses today.

What still shocks and surprises me today is the massive negative sentiment and fear that the banking cartel is able to generate among gold and silver investors every time they artificially manufacture one of their take downs in gold and silver. How quickly we forget that such take downs in gold and silver happen every year, and that in response, the Chicken Littles employed by the banking cartel always climb on top of their soapboxes and scream that they sky is falling in regard to gold and silver markets? Yet every year when this happens, I hear gold and silver investors despair every year. Granted this current gold and silver correction has been more brutal than in past years though not as brutal as in 2008. However, if we remove ourselves from thoughts of the “here and now” only, step back, and take a look at the big picture, we will realize that that the banking cartel ALWAYS FAILS long-term in their mission of suppressing gold and silver prices. So to understand that there is nothing wrong with gold and silver today other than the fact that the banking cartel has manipulated prices lower by selling the world the empty pipe-dream that we are in “risk-off” mode now, and that two of the riskiest assets in the world – the US dollar and US Treasury bonds – are the two safest havens now, let us look at a few charts of gold and silver performance since this gold/silver bull started over 11-years ago to firm up our continued positive outlook regarding gold and silver. For those that have developed tunnel vision due to the banker propaganda disseminated through the mass media and that have been focusing on the USD’s significant short-term rally over the past 30 days, let me widen that tunnel vision and present the 11-year chart for the USD below.

Now let’s take a look at some long-term gold and silver charts. To smooth out the daily volatility of all the charts I have presented in this article, I have used weekly charts of all assets. If we look at the weekly chart for gold, we can see that only ONE time in this 11-year bull have the charts been more battered from a technical perspective, and that was during the massive drop in 2008. During March to October, 2008, gold fell 34.13% from intra-day high to intra-day low. A similar drop today would take gold down to about $1,267 an ounce, yet sentiment about gold today already feels the same as sentiment during the 2008 low even though gold is still well above $1,267 an ounce. As you can see, only one time in the last 11-years has the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) level been lower than it is right now. If we look at the 11-year weekly silver chart, we will also see that the MACD level for silver has only been lower than its current level two times in the past 11 years, and that if silver were to undergo the same percentage correction as it did during its massive 2008 sell-off that the price of silver would have to drop to about $19.51 an ounce. Many people will say that silver experienced a massive parabolic-like spike from about $18 a troy oz to $50 a troy oz from late 2010 to early 2011 and that now silver is crashing, much like NASDAQ did after excessive speculation drove the dot com sector from 1,477.19 in September of 1998 to over 5,132 in March of 2000. However, comparing the silver spot price from 2010-2011 to the NASDAQ market from 1998-2000 is like comparing if a duck or a shark is a faster swimmer? The dot com market from back then and the silver market are entirely two different creatures and are incomparable for that reason.

What do I mean? In 1998, bankers slashed interest rates by 1.25% from 1995 to 1998 (back when a 1.25% interest rate cut actually meant something) and caused a massive amount of excess investment dollars to chase too few solid dot com stocks and hundreds more dot com shell companies that had not yet even declared a single penny of earnings. The wild speculation in the dot com stock market caused the entire sector to rise, regardless if the fundamentals of the company supported a massive increase in share price or not. The severe distortion of dot com companies’ share prices to the upside was unsustainable and eventually ended up playing out in the only possible conclusion – a massive collapse. Though banker shills point out that silver’s meteoric rise from $18 to $50 an oz mimics the dot com parabolic rise, this argument is clearly untenable for one important distinction between the dot com bull and the silver bull. Anyone that knows anything about the silver futures and spot markets knows that this is a market in which the price is set by the banking cartel manipulated supply and demand for paper contracts of non-existent paper ounces of silver, not by the actual supply and demand for physical ounces of silver. Furthermore, anyone that has ever looked at data provided by the CME for longer than a New York minute knows that bullion banks, and in particular, JP Morgan, are employed by the US Federal Reserve, to maintain massive short positions against silver continuously to suppress free market prices. And even though speculation may have helped pushed prices of silver higher during the last leg of its rise from $18 to $50 an ounce, silver has been under a state of constant suppression during the entire 11-years of this current silver bull that has kept silver severely undervalued, even during its various peaks. During the dot com bubble, bankers deliberately inflated prices higher and goaded investors into investing into dot com shares even after they were highly overvalued. Thus, these two situations can not be compared at all if one is attempting to use such a comparison to claim that a silver bubble formed and is now deflating as did the dot com bubble.

Lastly, let’s look at the valuation of the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index in terms of the price of spot gold. As you can clearly see, relative to the price of gold, there has only been one other time during this 11-year PM bull run that PM mining stocks have been more undervalued than at the current time right now. When this same scenario happened in 2008, I instructed my clients to double their allocation to Silver Wheaton at $3.45 a share because it was so massively undervalued. Silver Wheaton then went on to return more than a 950% gain on my instructions over the next 18 months. Thus at a time when panic and frustration is so incredibly high regarding gold, silver and PM mining stocks, one needs to necessarily remove oneself from the minutia of day to day banker-manipulated price movements in the gold and silver markets and evaluate the larger picture. If one removes himself or herself from the propaganda machine of the banking cartel that constantly reinforces, at every opportunity, a negative outlook for gold and silver, one may instead realize that instead, one is on the verge of one of the best opportunities in the past 11 years to buy massively undervalued gold and silver mining stocks at once-in-eleven-year- prices and that the upside in continuing to stack more physical gold and physical silver is massively greater than any continued downside at this point.

If you check Bank of America’s stock price now after the unsustainable pump by the banking cartel to about $10 a share this past March, you should understand that no matter how many rigging, gaming, and manipulation games the banking cartel institutes on a daily basis, that assets will eventually abide by the laws of physics and eventually move to their state of natural equilibrium. For most financial stocks, and even major global stock markets, that have been rigged much higher against non-existent fundamentals, their prices will eventually be much lower in real value (not necessarily nominal value depending upon whether the banking cartel’s game plan is Option 1, more extend and pretend at this point, or Option 2, a deliberate crashing of the system to try to serve up a global currency to the world, in which case their prices in real AND nominal value will collapse). For gold and silver assets, their state of natural equilibrium will eventually be much higher than their present state, in both nominal and real value, as both these assets are among the most risk-free and undervalued assets in the world right now, despite the opposite beliefs about these assets that the banking cartel, TPTB, and men like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Charlie Munger, desire you believe. To understand when gold and silver assets will experience a reversal, one needs to track banking cartel movements in these markets daily. Given the massive risk of assets such as the USD, Euro, Pound, Yen, US stock markets, et al that represent the global financial Ponzi scheme, the insurance that gold and silver offer against the very real and increasing risk of global systemic collapse, and the highly undervalued nature of gold and silver assets today compared to the past 11 – years, it should be very tempting for those that understand the underlying fundamental risk-reward scenario of gold and silver to consider purchasing these two asset classes now despite any risk of further declines in gold and silver.

What is rapidly growing unsustainable at the current time is banker manipulation of gold and silver assets to the downside. Though it is impossible to predict the durations of these events and exact bottoms when they happen, these manipulation events actually weaken the cartel’s hand for future manipulations. Due to much better understanding of this manipulation game from Eastern countries that are seeking to protect the wealth of their nations from being dragged down by the Western banking cartel currency devaluation race to the bottom, countries such as China realize that the volatility of gold and silver prices is a paper game that is entirely executed in paper markets now with almost no input from physical markets. Thus, many emerging powers realize that ownership and accumulation of physical gold and physical silver and ownership of gold and silver producing mines, even in the face of falling paper gold and paper silver prices, is now the intelligent move, not tracking the massive daily fluctuations in the paper gold and paper silver markets. In fact, many Asian nations have been using the cartel’s take down in paper prices against the cartel, using massively distorted prices to the downside in the paper markets to accumulate more physical gold and silver at artificially low prices. Thus, it is only a matter of time before the global banking cartel manipulation games of gold and silver assets to the downside fail and those that are patient will be rewarded with a massive reversal in the price of gold and silver. The obvious question one must ask oneself is if US Treasuries and the US dollar are stronger assets today than they were 11 years ago? If you conclude that the answer to this question is a resounding “no” as I have, then you can only conclude that gold and silver assets today, are in an even stronger position to continue higher in their respective bull markets than they were 11 years ago.

Does Twelve-Year-Old Canadian Victoria Grant Understand More About the Most Important Truth in Life Than You?

Admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:26:23 +0000

I love this girl! If 12-year old Victoria Grant can explain how banks that print our nation’s currency and their puppet global banks are the most immoral criminal institutions on our planet responsible for oppression, mass suffering, and misery, shame on anyone else that is too lazy and/or too misanthropic to take the time or effort to watch this six minute video to understand this essential truth that is probably the most important misunderstood truth in the entire world. No humanitarian efforts will ever make a sustainable impact in this world if we first don’t tackle the fact that our modern banking system is criminal and must be destroyed, the truth of which 12-year old Victoria already understands. Trying to implement measures to solve poverty, hunger or war without first correcting the great injustice that we call “modern banking” is akin to never letting your children out of the house as the solution to the presence of an insatiable child rapist that lives in your neighborhood. It is absolutely the wrong approach and one that is destined for failure.

I will always have loads more respect for men like Pablo Escobar, “El Chapo” Guzman and “El Señor de los Cielos” Fuentes than any banking executive like Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Ben Bernanke, Mervyn King, Evelyn Rothschild, David Rockefeller, Vikram Pandit et al. For the feeble-minded that will seek to twist these words into an unintended meaning, no, I do not admire or believe that Escobar, Guzman or Fuentes are or were good people. However, I absolutely hold more respect for criminals that are honest enough to be 100% aboveboard about their criminality so that we never mistake or misunderstand their intent versus criminals that deliberately seek to deceive us so that they can utilize our misinformed and ill-gotten trust to enslave us. Even among criminals, a hierarchy of respect exists, as rapists, serial killers, and child molesters are the least respected of criminals within the penitentiary system and the most likely to receive a brutal beating for their sins while incarcerated.

Lords of brutal drug cartels, when they despise someone, will spit in the face of the person they despise or simply tell that person that he or she will be executed. There is never any doubt about their evil intentions. On the flipside of this coin are the lords of our banking system. Despite being misanthropes, lords of our banking system will smile in our faces, perpetually lie to us about how banking really works, and tell us that they want to help us. However, the second we turn our backs, they will stab us six inches deep in the middle of our backs or deliberately create massive inflation that silently and secretly sentences people to death from starvation. As John Maynard Keynes stated, “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security but [also] at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth.” Keynes went on to explain, “There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic laws on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one in a million is able to diagnose.” For those that have internalized banker-cartel propaganda and still fail to grasp the unquestionable and indisputable immorality of our current banking system, simply put, bankers are the equivalent of modern day slave owners and we are the slaves. We will never have freedom, but only the illusion of freedom sold to us by politicians and bankers, as long as our current fractional reserve banking system persists. This is an indisputable fact that even Central Bankers have admitted from time to time. Remember that the notorious Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan once stated, “gold and economic freedom are inseparable.”

In conclusion, some may say that the title of this article is slightly misleading because the most important truth in life is love. For those that believe this to be the most important truth, remember that multiplying actions of love and generosity in this world is an exponentially more difficult proposition under our current immoral banking system than under a sound honest one. And for those that don’t believe that we can disable our current banking system, remember that there are nearly 7 billion of us that would benefit enormously from the destruction of our current banking system while there are only a few thousand in the entire world that reap tremendous ill-gotten gains from this morally reprehensible system. Our power is in numbers and it is a power that those of us on the right side of this fence have yet to fully utilize.

Can 7 billion people defeat a few thousand morally bankrupt people? Without hesitation, the answer is yes. Thus, I urge everyone to forward the below video not to anyone you know that fails to grasp the evils of our debt-based monetary system, but to everyone you know that fails to grasp the evils of our debt-based monetary system. Even those that have been brainwashed by the banking cartel into believing that our banking system is not the reason for failing economies worldwide today will likely suspend their skepticism for a New York minute and grant 12-year old Victoria Grant the benefit of the doubt in that her plea to return to sound, interest-free money as the mechanism to restoring freedom in our world has nothing to do with “selling her book”. Furthermore, who can possibly resist listening to an adorable 12-year old child dropping enlightenment in a concise, articulate six minute speech?

The Weekly Dose of Gold & Silver Market Manipulation

Admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:05:27 +0000

This strange event happened this past Tuesday in the COMEX New York markets but I didn’t have time to post it until now. Not much to add here in the commentary that the pictures don’t say themselves, except that market prices of two different assets do not plunge in tandem by 1.2% within a matter of half-an-hour or so at precisely the same time and then gain everything back in the next two hours if their prices are set by free and fair markets. In regard to the buzz on the blogosphere this week regarding rebuttals to gold and silver market manipulator deniers, I believe that a lot of gold/silver analysts that deny gold/silver market manipulation actually believe, and firmly believe, that the gold/silver markets are manipulated. How can you not believe, given the numerous instances of tens, and sometimes, hundreds of millions of paper silver (and paper gold) ounces dumped in the futures markets immediately before intra-day crashes in price that occur on a nearly weekly basis now? In the face of all the evidence, including documented minutes of the US Federal Reserve that actually admit to gold/silver market rigging (just refer to any of a number of GATA publications), the gold/silver analysts that continue to deny market rigging would:

(1) either have to possess so little critical thinking ability that they also believe that OJ Simpson was innocent of murdering Nicole, that Santa delivers gifts to billions of households in one night on Christmas Eve, and that a flying tooth fairy delivered money underneath their pillow when they were a child; or

(2) simply have chosen to deny manipulation as a pure Machiavellian business decision.

I believe that the reason for continued denial of gold/silver price suppression schemes from gold/silver analysts today is answer (2).

Rather than expose the truth about the corrupt and criminal banking cartel’s price suppression schemes and help people understand the reality of rigged gold and silver markets, those that continue to deny gold/silver price suppression schemes and whose business depends upon analysis of gold and silver realize that such an open and honest stance is not the opinion of the mainstream masses. Thus, they know openly speaking about this would hurt their business sales, and perhaps quite significantly. And this is the REAL reason why I believe that many intelligent gold/silver analysts out there continue to publicly deny gold and silver manipulation while privately harboring an opposite view. Still, all the attempts of the banking cartel to suppress gold and silver prices are subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns, and gold and silver, while still range bound at the moment, will break free and continue their upward trend soon enough.

Who is the Big Money that Really Controls the World?

Admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:21:32 +0000

What if all global leaders’ suits and any news/products associated with huge global events were required to be labeled with corporate sponsorship as are the racing jumpsuits and racing cars of Nascar drivers? Below are two satirical videos with suggestions as to how people’s consciousness can be raised about exactly who is sponsoring today’s music, media and news as well as who is sponsoring various wars, Presidents, Prime Ministers, banks and education institutions. Amazingly a few people that have viewed these videos did not understand their satirical nature and believed that my proposed solutions were of a serious nature. Maybe these same people wrote the publisher of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” to complain that Orwell’s book was unrealistic because animals can’t really talk.

For those that may still be confused by the satirical intent of my videos, William Banzai has graciously provided the below brilliant-as-usual accompanying artwork so that one can visualize the lunacy of requiring all public and prominent figures and global leaders to wear Nascar type jumpsuits emblazoned with all of their corporate “sponsors.” Finally, as an example of how far and wide the US Federal Reserve spreads its octopus arms and control into the realms of education and corporate global finance, consider this article: Federal Reserve Officials Leave For Wall Street With Privileged Info

Why I Do Not Support Obama’s Appointment of Jim Yong Kim to Head the World Bank

Admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:41:28 +0000

A lot of people have asked me recently, “What do you think of Jim Yong Kim’s appointment to the World Bank?”, expecting me, as a Korean, to beam proudly at having a prominent member of the Korean community now head one of the world’s most powerful institutions. Sadly, many Koreans will gladly grant the expected reaction of “That’s great!” or “That’s awesome having one of our own represent us at such a high level.” And these people that give this answer just because they are Korean and Jim Yong Kim is Korean represent a critical problem with the world today. What more idiotic reason to support a person or think a person is “great” just because you share the same race and skin color as someone else? But yet many sheeple subscribe to exactly such foolishness and utter lack of critical thinking. At first glance, Jim Yong Kim seems like a decent person. He developed programs in Haiti in the 1990s for treating tuberculosis at reduced costs of $150 to $200 a patient, but to imply he is a pioneer and great success due to this matter, as a Wikipedia entry implies, simply is not accurate.

Many drugs and treatment programs in other developing countries, not just Haiti, are a fraction of their cost in the United States, because pharmaceutical companies, if they want to sell any of their drugs in other countries, must drastically slash their prices to make them affordable to people of greatly reduced incomes. And we all know that the pharmaceutical industry’s number one priority is making money and that even at these drastically slashed prices, they are still turning a profit in most instances sans a few isolated cases of products designed to be loss-leaders. Still, many Asians, after hearing sound bytes like this, will stop using their brains and will throw their support behind Dr. Kim, stating that Dr. Kim will bring a fresh perspective and hope to an abysmal organization like the World Bank, much in the same capacity that people of color rationalized voting for Barack Obama in 2008, falsely believing, simply due to his skin color, that he would bring great change to an office in which people had lost a great amount of faith.

If one looks at Jim Yong Kim’s history, there are many red flags to consider before anyone should support this appointment. Kim was formerly an adviser to the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), an organization whose critics have accused it as serving as a front for the pharmaceutical industry to force health care initiatives upon countries, not for the benefit of the people, but for the profits of the industry. Most recently, critics accused the WHO of magnifying the reality of the “swine flu” threat way out of proportion solely to benefit the pharmaceutical companies that were manufacturing the swine flu vaccine.

Interestingly enough, over many decades now, Presidents and Prime Ministers of numerous developing countries have levied similar damning accusations against the World Bank, accusing the World Bank of being a bank that only serves the interests of Europe and the US to the detriment of their countries. And this is precisely why I believe that this current US administration is putting a yellow face to lead the World Bank now. This move, in my opinion, is 100% political with Machiavellian intentions. And whether Dr. Kim knowingly is part of this plan or an innocent pawn that is being used, he is just a puppet in a larger plan to deceive rising powers in India, China and other countries dominated by people of color and to convince their leaders to trust an inherently untrustworthy and immoral organization like the World Bank.

With the enormous media attention given John Perkin’s book, “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”, in which he confessed that his function “was to convince the political and financial leadership of underdeveloped countries to accept enormous development loans from institutions like the World Bank and USAID” that he knew they could not repay, it is hard to believe that Dr. Kim would be unaware of the shady past of the World Bank. Basically, Perkins stated that much like “liar mortgage loans” destroyed individual families in the US, World Bank loans magnified the scope of destructive loans to the entire developing world. Perkins stated that once the World Bank and IMF imposed crippling debts on developing nations by selling them false analytical reports of economic growth that were impossible to achieve, US bankers then moved in and forced these countries to accept “bailouts” that were littered with concessions favorable to Western interests and detrimental to the citizens of these countries that otherwise never could have been achieved. Ultimately, Perkins stated, these concessions widened the disparity of income gap not only within these countries and also between developed nations and developing nations, but that these immorally gained concessions further subjugated these nations to future control by Western interests by setting the economic development of these countries back by decades.

From a logical perspective as well, it is obvious that Dr. Kim has been selected throughout his career to move up the chain of command. What qualifies a medical doctor to become President of a university with no training in education? Yet Dr. Kim was appointed as President of Dartmouth University. Furthermore, what qualifies a medical doctor to head an international banking organization with no training in finance? Yet President Obama appointed Dr. Kim to become head of the World Bank. Dr. Kim’s promotions would be analogous to a world leader appointing a lifelong Kindergarten teacher to become his Secretary of Defense. Furthermore, review these statements from Dr. Kim in a Wall Street Journal article that was released this week:

“The ministers and the heads of central banks and others I’ve spoke with have been very supportive.” If heads of corrupt central banks are already on board with Dr. Kim, then this means they view him as an asset they can utilize to achieve their goals. As I stated above, what is the best method of gaining trust from people and nations you desire to manipulate? Put a face in front of it to which they can relate.

“I’ve been working with people in the World Bank for years.” Really? In what capacity? I, for one, would like to have full disclosure regarding the exact capacity in which you have worked with the World Bank for years. Did you work with the World Bank while you were President of Dartmouth? While with the WHO? Or even earlier in your career?

“As a person who has run a huge knowledge institution…” This statement alone gives me pause and induces a feeling of queasiness. If Dr. Kim didn’t find great fault with the structure of today’s educational institutions, including Dartmouth, and is leaving with his belief that they are “huge knowledge institutions” unsullied, then his agenda must be aligned with the elite of dumbing down students instead of actually turning them into smarter, critical thinking beings.

So if you are Korean or Asian and support Jim Yong Kim’s appointment to the World Bank simply because he looks like you, or on the belief that he is there to transform the World Bank from a destructive to a constructive organization, then you simply serve as the poster boy or girl for the successes of the global educational system to increase acquiescence to their commands of what to think instead of being able to use the grey matter inside your head to think for yourself. Maybe if the new head of the World Bank was a leader from a poor Latin America, Asian, African or Caribbean country that had a history of activism with no ties to Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, or any other multinational bank or elite organizations with a history of self-promotion of rich interests over poor interests, then I would give this leader the benefit of the doubt until I saw otherwise. Unfortunately, Jim Yong Kim does not remotely begin to fit this description.

Dear Bankers: Why We Must Choose Beauty & Life Over Greed, Misery & Destruction

Admin — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:21:38 +0000

Here’s a short video to express my utter sadness regarding the story of a 77 year-old Greek man named Dimitris Christoulas that found himself in such dire economic straits that the only option he considered viable for himself and his family was the choice to end his life. In countries where bankers have implemented severe austerity measures like Greece, suicide rates have been on the rise. Furthermore, the case of Mr. Christoulas is not an isolated one, as intense economic woes of global citizens triggered by Central Bankers’ “debt monetization to infinity” policies and global banking giants’ raping and pillaging of clients’ accounts have caused suicide rates to increase worldwide. It’s time we call upon all worker bees of global banks to abandon their massively corrupt and immoral Queen bees, and to take a stand for justice and peace in this world. Without the worker bees, our immoral fractional reserve banking system would collapse. Below is my plea for the worker bees of the global banking empire to consider how and why they should actively choose to build beauty and support life versus choosing to silently support the creation of misery, destruction and death. Because the global banking and monetary system has been built on more than a century of deceit, lies and theft, the awful truth about our “modern” monetary system still remains largely unknown to most people.
