Future historians will record: The insatiable international finance sector is trying to extend the domestic market system beyond the reach of regulatory democracy and accountability, caused WW1, WW2, and WW3

by sematrix

The international bankers, who see themselves as a post-national priest class, a chosen people of the cosmos, and the source of all manna, are actually insatiable grifters, predators and parasites upon the nations in which they roost, and upon the decent, law-abiding folk who form national economies. They leverage the work, productivity, and taxes of the “little people” — who form the backbone of the national economy — into a massive international system of debt, and usurious loot for themselves, and then attempt to grow their Ponzi scheme to ever larger global levels. Eventually all that holds this criminal loan shark system administered by shysters and shylocks and enforced at the point of a gun together is force and conquest, which inevitably manifests in a domestic police state, wars of conquest, and eventually world war — necessary to keep their parasite system from collapsing, and them out of the gallows for the treason and crimes against humanity they perpetrated to keep their grift alive. This will be the cause of WW3. THEY will be the cause of WW3, just as THEY were the cause of WW1 and WW2.

At a Rethinking Economics conference in Oslo last month I pointed out that western politicians and economists are repeating policy errors of the 1930s. The pattern of a global financial crash, followed by austerity in Europe and the UK, led in those years to the rise of populism, authoritarianism and ultimately fascism. The scale of economic and political failures and missteps led in turn to a catastrophic world war.

BOMBSHELL: FBI Used Secret Program To Gather Information On Trump Campaign, No Judge Needed, Report Says

A report released by The New York Times on Wednesday revealed that the FBI, under Director James Comey's leadership, used a secret program that does not require the approval of a judge to gather phone records and "other documents" on Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

The report also revealed that a government informant met several times with Trump campaign officials, which validates a March 8, 2018 report from The Washington Post. The New York Times reports:

The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena — officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trump’s allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials.

National security letters (NSL) are secret orders that the FBI uses on a regular basis to obtain sensitive electronic data and phone records. The Intercept reports:

They are controversial in part because they carry the force of law but are created entirely outside the judicial system: To issue one, an FBI official just needs to attest that the information sought is relevant to a national security investigation. The letters have also been criticized because they are shrouded in secrecy. Companies that receive them are for the most part forbidden from notifying their customers or the public. The government has fought to keep even basic rules governing them secret.

Companies that receive NSLs might not be legally required to hand over the information demanded by the FBI. The Intercept continues:

The FBI’s internal guidelines suggest that the bureau uses the letters to demand sensitive information on email transactions — even though the Justice Department has specifically advised the FBI that it does not have the authority to use the letters this way. The documents also indicate that the FBI can use national security letters to surveil a “community of interest” by obtaining information from a business about a customer and every person that customer has contacted. This is a controversial practice that the bureau once halted amid scrutiny. But the documents reveal that a secretive unit that mines phone records can still initiate such requests.

The most recent document on national security letter policy was made public on January 31, 2017, by The Intercept and reveals which FBI officials have the authority to sign NSLs. The Director has delegated the authority to sign NSLs and to certify the nondisclosure requirement to the following FBI officials:

Deputy Director

Executive Assistant Director

Assistant EAD for the National Security Branch

Assistant Directors and all DADs for CT, CI, CyD, and the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate

General Counsel

Deputy General Counsel for the National Security Law Branch

Assistant Directors in Charge in NY, LA, and D.C.

All Special Agents in Charge (SAC)

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act lists four types of information that the FBI is allowed to obtain using NSLs, as noted by The Intercept:

Name of the owner of an account

How long that person has owned it

The person’s address

Toll billing records, which reveal phone numbers that are called and include the date, time, and length of each call

The Intercept further noted that lawyers with the Justice Department specifically stated in 2008 that the FBI did not have the legal authority to demand that tech companies hand over records beyond the four types listed, but "FBI agents may have expected that other companies, especially small ones, would be too ignorant or weak to fight back."
