Good morning. Happy Monday and happy April! Let’s get the fool’s stuff out-of-the-way: I have accepted the invitation to the Throne of Scotland. God save Me!

I spent the weekend celebrating the Resurrection with my family and friends. I also dug deep into some research projects from 8 to 12 years ago. It occurred to me how horribly slow I am at organizing and presenting ideas. I seem to take my own “slow down” advice a bit too seriously. What I found will contribute greatly to the blog and one or more forthcoming books. A hundred or so old floppy disk and several CDs have been placed into the appropriate files on my computer and I’m reinvigorated! Get ready!!
At the gym early this morning I consulted with one of those professional personal trainers. She told me it was okay to lay off the “core” workout every day. It seems every other day is sufficient as long as I work the muscles hard enough on the “on” days. I’m looking forward to trying this along with increased cardio work to burn off the last of the unsightly fat. Today, I made good on my change of plans plan – I hit the old arms extra hard in an effort to strengthen and tone the muscles. Now, I can hardly type. This shows my extraordinary dedication to keeping all of you informed. Thank me later, if you will.
My thoughts of the morning are on Cyprus and the rapidly deteriorating state of the world financial and monetary systems. This is boring stuff, I know, however it is hitting home harder every day. The news out of Cyprus is disturbing both in terms of what the people there are suffering and as to the precedents being set for the rest of us.
Last week I predicted that major corporations and the super-rich of Cyprus would be treated differently than the rest of the nation’s depositors. Biggies are generally well-connected and are not taken advantage of my their buddies, the other “big club” members. Turns out I was right, kind of. It seems the big depositors were tipped off in advance about the pending thievery so as to be able to withdraw their money before the looting started.
Much of the talk in the popular media has centered on the money in Cypriotic banks deposited by wealthy Russians and other international elite. The talking heads supposed that such money was possibly the result of illegal activity and that seizing it was justified post-hoc. I now assume that such elites were among the club members who, forwarned, got their assets out of harms way. There appears to be evidence to support the position.
The news is getting worse for everyone else. Almost all accounts are currently under a freeze and there are severe limitations on people’s access to their own money. Again, it is their money. It does not belong to the banks, the government, the EU, or any other group of criminals. The plan to “haircut” ten percent of all account funds will likely go through. Larger depositors (100,000+ Euros) are now faced with the theft of 60%, not 40%, of their funds. Read more about the bank robbery here: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/this-is-what-it-feels-like-to-have-your-life-savings-confiscated-by-the-global-elite, an excellent article.
By the way, read more about Cyprus here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus; and here, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/cy.html.
The economically illiterate and the socialist-minded likely have little sympathy for anyone who can bank 100,000 E. To them, this is a chance to get even with the hated rich. But, as the above-linked column points out, most of these account holders are either retirees, dependant on their savings for their livelihoods, or small businesses, whose employees need the money for their pay. What this all means is that, under an account freeze, the hard-working may not receive their paychecks and the elderly may not be able to pay for housing, food, or medicine. The situation will continue permanently once over half of the money is spirited off to the EU and the central banks of Europe and the world.
The theft sends a clear message that money is not safe in the banks and there is a reduced incentive to saving money at all. AS is, unless the banks pays more than 60% interest (nowhere on earth, friends) the investment is a loser. People put aside money to watch it grow and work for them. If they want to lose it they can either spend it all today or hoard it at home and let inflation slowly eat away insidiously. This is what the global elite want. They want you to be poor as a church mouse and dependent on them for everything. They create the fake money and decide who can use it along with when, where, and how the usage happens.

The greater, immediate problem faced by the Cypriotic people is the moral and legal wrongs being done them. I have not checked into the local criminal laws, but I have a funny feeling theft and robbery is as illegal there as it is anywhere. I did look at the Constitution of Cyprus and found some interesting points which highlight the illegality of the current actions.
The populace of Cyprus is Greek and Turkish by heritage; the nation is a Republic. As such, the people vote their governing goons into office. I hope they will soon be removed for their treason. Article Seven, Section Three allows for the proportional defense of property when approached by evil. I see theft of people’s money as an evil, deserving of defense.
Article Eight declares, in full: “No person shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment.” Relieving someone of their money would seem to count as degrading treatment. Article Nine says “every person has the right to a decent existence and to social security.” How decent and secure can one feel when over half of one’s finances are stolen? Article 10, Section 1 prohibits slavery. Slavery is defined as being owned by or doing unpaid, involuntary work for someone else. Cypriots, Greek and Turks, are discovering now that all their lives they have worked for the benefit not of themselves, but of the elite.
Article 11 says that every person has the right to liberty and security. The only exceptions are in cases of criminal arrest and prosecution. Violations of this provision shall give a person a civil right of redress. I envision the courts will make an exception in these cases though. Article 12 says punishment (for a legitimate crime) cannot involve the general confiscation of property. Article 15 says no personal rights can be violated except in extraordinary circumstances of threat to public safety or morals. There seems to be a direct violation here.
Article 23 allows for confiscation of private property, but only for the public good. As in America, takings may only occur upon reasonable compensation to the private party. The theft underway only benefits a select group of criminals, it harms the general public, and I have heard nothing about compensating depositors with money for the money stolen – such would seem contradictory to the announced scheme.
Article 26 acknowledges the right of contracts. It even provides for a law to prevent exploitation by “person who are in commanding economic power.” I assume that includes banksters and ticks.
The Constitution does provide for the unnecessary evil of taxation. If the local ticks are smart they will defer to the wisdom [SIC] of John “Tax Master” Roberts and his Obamacare opinion – it’s just a tax and taxes are a-okay! The fact remains that the people have been robbed and they deserve redress against their robbers.
If I had money in such a bank, I would commence withdrawing what little I could until the accounts were dry. If I had a loan with such a bank, in addition to deposits, I would write the bank and inform them of my unilateral cancellation of the debt. I might even be tempted to probe whether the banks branches are fire resistant.
Mark this madness. It has previous precedent all around the world and throughout history. It will spread around Europe and there is no force field to keep it contained across the Atlantic. Congress, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve have been committing a kind of theft against your money for a century now. Rather than take the money physically from you account, they simply print more and more fake money. The printing generates inflation. Inflation robs you by decreasing the value of your money. However, when the time comes (soon, soon) they won’t hesitate to actually seize assets. And, the seizures will not be limited to financial accounts. Get ready, whatever that means…
In other news:
Wild savages are attacking decent people all across the U.S. with increasing frequency. Arm yourselves.
Kim J. Unbalanced, according to the news (for what it’s worth), seems to want war with the South and with the U.S. The elite approve of this tactic as wars are very profitable. They benefit the super-rich at the expense of the little people. Try to find a bankster on a battlefield.
20% of U.S. teenaged boys are supposedly afflicted with “ADHD,” a condition that does not exist. The benefit here is for drug companies and doctors. The downside is the posioning of our youth and the increased risk of their becoming violent criminals. Colorado prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the doped up, ADHD young man who shot up the movie theater. Discuss this possible side effect with your pediatrician. Ask about MK Ultra while you’re at it – not a new drug.
More to follow. Back to work, America!
