US military suicides are at the highest rate since the US invaded Afghanistan more than a decade ago.

The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of this year surpass the US forces killed in action in Afghanistan by about 50 per cent, according to the Pentagon. Studies attribute the increase to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress and misuse of prescription drugs. While the department of defense says it is committed to improving mental health care, the rate jumped 18 per cent from last year.

The White Hats Report #45 – 12 July 2012

Nomenclature of Financial Thievery
President:

“I don’t understand, where does all this come from? How do you get funding for something like this?”

Response:

“You don’t actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?”

-From the movie, Independence Day, an exchange between the President and a civilian when the President enters Area 51 for the first time after the alien invasion.

“Where does all (that money) come from?”  We are on a quest to uncover the trail of deceit, deception, corruption and thievery in the financial arena. Where does the money come from, where has it gone, and what is it being used for?  The answer to that question could be the biggest secret of our time.  But let us begin to connect the dots with some background on the methods used to steal from the people to finance the NWO.

People are justifiably furious over the big banks’ manipulation of hundreds of trillions of dollars of assets. This violates the banks’ most central function: loaning money based upon the going rate.

 

Indeed, the Libor manipulation is so serious that even mainstream economists are starting to call for heads to roll.

Federal Reserve REWARDS Fraud By Throwing Money At Criminal Manipulators

You know that Libor is the largest economic scam in world history and the largest insider trading scandal ever.

You know that the Federal Reserve knew about the manipulation by August 2007. And see this.

The Real Story Behind Low (and Negative) Interest Rates – Are Big Banks Pushing Credit Unions Out of Business?

Are the banksters attempting to eliminate their local, community-owned competition in the fractional-reserve banking system? Last October, Bank of America faced a backlash from angry customers when they attempted to raise fees. Droves of people left the bank (and others) to put their money in credit unions. Credit unions serve most Americans better than banks, because they generally offer lower interest loans, have fewer fees for membership than banks charge for their accounts, and offer better service. Here’s a story from October 2011:

More banks are hitting customers with fees, but there are ways to get around them.

Citibank announced increased fees for some of its checking accounts, and that they’ll be phasing out free checking accounts, and if you have an EZ checking account, you’ll need to keep $6,000 in your account or pay a fee of $15 a month.

And as you know last week Bank of America announced a $5 a month fee for using your debit card. Consumers are not happy and many of them are turning to credit unions.

Big banks have been caught in a massive scam to rig global interest rates, ripping off millions of people on their mortgages, student loans and more! We'd go to jail for this, but Barclays bank has only been fined, and just a fraction of their profits! Outrage is mounting -- this is our chance to finally turn the tide of the banks' reign over our democracies. 

The EU finance regulator, Michel Barnier is standing up to the powerful bank lobby and championing reform that would put bankers behind bars for fraud like this. If the EU goes first, accountability could quickly spread across the globe. But the banks are lobbying hard against it, and we need a massive surge of people power to drive these reforms through.
