<p align="left"><strong>The 2014 meeting of the Bilderberg Group – a secretive organization of global power brokers – will take place in Denmark at the end of May.</strong></p>
<p align="left">The announcement was made today on the official <a href="http://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/index.html" target="_blank">‘Bilderberg Meetings’ website</a>, which states simply, “The 62nd Bilderberg meeting will take place at the end of May 2014 in Denmark.”</p>
<p align="left">No city or hotel has yet been identified as the location of the meeting, although the group always holds its conferences at either in or nearby or exclusive remote tourist resorts.</p>
<p align="left">The 2014 confab marks Bilderberg’s first return to Scandinavia since the group met in Sweden in 2001 and the first time the conference has been held in Denmark since 1969.</p>
<p align="left">The elitist organization, which meets on an annual basis in either Europe, the United States or Canada, is comprised of some of the most powerful heavyweights of industry, banking, , royalty, academia and technology. Last year, the likes of Jeff Bezos, Timothy Geithner, Christine Lagarde, Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, and British Prime Minister David Cameron were all in attendance.</p>
<p align="left">While the mainstream media habitually fails to afford Bilderberg the press it demands – characterizing the group as a mere “talking shop” – innumerable examples of the organization having a direct impact on global policy have been documented in recent years, leading to charges that the group is fundamentally undemocratic in nature.</p>
<p align="left">This has led to bigger and bigger anti-Bilderberg demonstrations in recent years, including last year in Watford, UK when thousands of people attended an event that was held in the grounds of the Grove Hotel, where Bilderberg was holding its meeting.</p>

<p align="left">Prior to last year’s meeting, Infowars reporters who had booked to stay at the Grove Hotel days before Bilderberg members arrived <a href="http://www.infowars.com/bilderberg-cancels-hotel-reservations-of-journalists-covering-secret-meeting/">had their reservations canceled</a> due to unspecified “security” concerns.</p>

<p align="left"><strong>There are <a href="http://www.infowars.com/occupy-bilderberg-gathers-steam/">innumerable other examples</a> of how Bilderberg has influenced major global events ahead of time, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">picking Presidents and Prime Ministers on a regular basis with total contempt for the democratic process.</span></strong></p>

<p>By David Henry and Lauren Tara LaCapra</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - As the United States threatened to default on its debt last month, major U.S. banks set up war rooms, spent many millions of dollars on contingency planning and, in some cases, even prepared to underwrite federal government benefits.</p>
<p>In a series of interviews with top bank executives, new details emerged about the extent of the contingency planning that was undertaken before and during the 16-day government shutdown and as a potential default loomed.</p>
<p>The planning for worst-case scenarios didn't come cheap. JPMorgan alone has spent more than $100 million on contingency planning for U.S. budget crises in recent years including this one, sources close to the bank say. It has reviewed and analyzed thousands of trading contracts, updated computer systems to handle fiscal emergencies, hired consultants, and built new models to figure out what might happen to securities prices.</p>
<p>It may not go to waste. The temporary budget agreement that President Barack Obama signed shortly after midnight on October 17 to end the shutdown and lift the default threat, authorizes government spending through January 15 and eases enforcement of the debt limit until February 7, creating the potential for another budget crisis early next year, even as some Republicans vow they will avoid it.</p>
<p>With each crisis, the once-unthinkable scenario of a U.S. default becomes a little more real, bank executives said.</p>
<p>"You could tell in the market that people were getting prepared much more this time for a potential default than last time," said a person involved with contingency planning at a major U.S. bank. "The threat moved the market, and people were preparing, whereas the first time there was little movement because most people didn't think it would happen."</p>
<p>The latest budget dust-up was the third in two years. In August 2011, fiscal battles led to the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Standard & Poor's, and then 16 months later, the discord resulted in across-the-board budget cuts at federal agencies known as "sequestration."</p>
<p>THE "RIGHT THING TO DO"</p>
<p>In October, officials at JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) asked Chief Executive Jamie Dimon how to handle the government benefits that many of its customers receive monthly.</p>
<p>Some of the bank's retail customers depend on government programs like Social Security and food stamps to pay their bills, and Dimon decided the bank would pay the benefits out of its own pocket if it had to.</p>
<p>"We're going to fund them," he said, according to a person at the meeting. "It is the right thing to do."</p>
<p>Staff in the legal, finance and risk departments, were reluctant, and although they had to listen to Dimon, they found potential hurdles. The bank would have had to have paid an estimated $5 billion of cash every month, and it was not clear how the money could be legally recouped.</p>
<p>JPMorgan's legal staff determined that, by law, customers' Social Security checks cannot be used as collateral for short-term loans. It was also unclear how regulators would assess the riskiness of the loans it was making.</p>
<p>Other banks gave their customers concessions because of the crisis in Washington. Wells Fargo (WFC.N), for example, waived late fees for those who were tardy with their mortgage payments in October.</p>
<p>The biggest question was how markets would have reacted to a default, bank executives said. It was entirely possible that panic could have spread across multiple assets, creating conditions as treacherous as in September 2008 when the collapse of Lehman Brothers touched off the worst of the financial crisis and the deepest recession since the Great Depression, Wall Street executives said.</p>
<p>However meticulous the planning, a panic is almost impossible to guard against, top bankers said.</p>
<p>And even if there is no default, the threat of one is bad news for Treasury debt. U.S. government bills, notes, and bonds are seen as assets without credit risk that form the basis for pricing securities globally, and every time a default looms, that status is threatened, said an executive at Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N).</p>
<p>MANY UNKNOWNS</p>
<p>Executives said that preparing for a default was difficult, because there were so many unknowns. No one was sure what the value of defaulted bonds would be if the government really had failed to make payments. Those questions could have hurt trading in multiple markets, which in turn raised questions about how the Federal Reserve might intervene.</p>
<p>Bankers characterized their conversations with the Fed as "one-sided," with many of their questions remaining unanswered. The central bank apparently did not want to give traders in financial markets the impression that everything would be fine if the debt limit were not raised.</p>
<p>But banks still spent a lot of time considering the Fed's options. The central bank, for example, could have directed its quantitative easing bond purchases toward buying more Treasuries, or defaulted Treasuries. It could have provided financing for defaulted Treasuries through participating in the repo markets.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York declined to comment.</p>
<p>When Lehman failed, commercial paper markets seized up, and the government had to guarantee it. Without that intervention, corporations could have been starved for cash and unable to pay employees. If the central bank was concerned about similar market issues in this fiscal crisis, it could have bought short-term debt known as "commercial paper" from companies.</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve looked closely in the runup to this October's default threat at the "repurchase market," or "repo markets," where investors can finance their Treasuries.</p>
<p>Goldman's operations staff spent hours on the phone with clients whose Treasury collateral would mature in late October and early November, asking whether they wanted to try to sell these securities, or trade them for newly issued Treasuries.</p>
<p>At Morgan Stanley, daily calls were held among Treasury-bond traders, those handling repurchase agreements and operations staff. At JPMorgan, senior executives and relevant personnel met every day to figure out how the bank would deal with possible issues that could arise, said people close to the bank.</p>
<p>The problems associated with defaulted debt extended beyond market turmoil, into the plumbing of markets, an area banks focused on.</p>
<p>"We've figured out what to do with systems on defaulted securities, what would happen with impaired securities, and how the market would clear, settle, and finance those assets," said one executive at Morgan Stanley involved with the planning process. He added that this planning would reduce the operational and market problems that would arise from delayed Treasury payments, but would not eliminate them.</p>
<p>Much of the work involving market protocols was orchestrated by the U.S. Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, a trade group.</p>
<p>SIFMA's presumption was that any Treasury due to mature would have its maturity extended one day at a time.</p>
<p>Extending maturities creates a complication for banks' bond payment systems, which run nightly and determine which bond issuers will pay interest on securities the bank owns the next day, said the Morgan Stanley executive. If the government defaulted, a security due to mature would have to be removed from the broader system and handled manually. If the crisis had worn on and there were 300 or 400 defaulted securities, managing them manually could have been cumbersome, the person said.</p>
<p>On the consumer side, JPMorgan also looked at how to handle credit card payments due from government employees. The bank was inclined to forbear on these obligations, but had to change its systems to ensure they would not automatically report delayed payments to credit agencies. It was also ready to add extra cash to its automated teller machines in case panicky consumers tried to take out as much money as they could get their hands on.</p>

<h1 class="title">Cash "Banned" in Louisiana.Think about this one!</h1>
<h5>Government Takes Private Property Without Due Process</h5>
<p>This summer, the State Legislature and Governor of Louisiana passed a law that bans individuals and businesses from transacting in cash if they are considered a “secondhand dealer”. House Bill 195 of the 2011 Regular Session (Act 389) broadly defines a secondhand dealer to include “…<strong>Anyone</strong>, other than a non-profit entity, <strong>who buys, sells, trades in or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or secondhand property more frequently than once per month from any other person</strong>, other than a non-profit entity, <strong>shall be deemed as being in the business of a secondhand dealer. ”</strong> The law then states that “<strong>A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property</strong>. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property…” The broad scope of this definition can essentially encompass everyone; from your local flea market vendors and buyers to a housewife purchasing goods on ebay or craigslist, to a group of guys trading baseball cards, they could all be considered secondhand dealers. Lawmakers in Louisiana have effectively banned its citizens from freely using United States legal tender.</p>
<p>The law goes further to require secondhand dealers to turn over a valuable business asset, namely, their business’ proprietary client information. For every transaction a secondhand dealer must obtain the seller’s personal information such as their name, address, driver’s license number and the license plate number of the vehicle in which the goods were delivered. They must also make a detailed description of the item(s) purchased and submit this with the personal identification information of every transaction to the local policing authorities through electronic daily reports. If a seller cannot or refuses to produce to the secondhand dealer any of the required forms of identification, the secondhand dealer is prohibited from completing the transaction.</p>
<p>This legislation amounts to a public taking of private property without due process or compensation. Regardless of whether or not the transaction information is connected with, or law enforcement is investigating a crime, individuals and businesses are forced to report routine business activity to the police. Can law enforcement not accomplish its goal of identifying potential thieves and locating stolen items in a far less intrusive manner? And of course, there are already laws that prohibit stealing, buying or selling stolen goods, laws that require businesses to account for transactions and laws that penalize individuals and businesses that transact in stolen property. Why does the Louisiana State Legislature need to enact more laws infringing on personal privacy, liberties and freedom?</p>
<p>Motivating the introduction of this legislation was an increase in criminal activity, necessitating law enforcement to develop additional tools in tracking potential criminals. Thefts of copper and other precious metals have risen recently with higher commodity prices and mounting pressures from the economic downturn. The added restrictions under this recent legislation have come about under the pretense of cracking down on crime and helping the government take care of you, all at the cost of your individual privacy, economic, civil liberty and freedom.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, although Pawnshops are still required to obtain clients personal information and transmit their client database information to law enforcement, they are exempt from the restriction of cash payments. A jeweler next door to a pawnshop cannot offer clients the same payment method offered by its competing pawnshop neighbor.</p>
<p>Act 389 passed by unanimous consent of the Louisiana House of Representatives and only mustered one nay vote (Senator Neil Riser) from the State Senate. The governor signed the legislation into law on July 1, 2011. The enrolled version of Act 389 can be found <a title="Act 389" href="http://www.legis.state.la.us/billdata/streamdocument.asp?did=760886" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HERE</a></p>

Dear friends,<br />

<strong>I have just experienced what may be the most bizarre coincidence ever.</strong>Below is the response I sent to a wonderful supporter named Helen, who emailed today to tell me that she was very surprised to hear my name mentioned clearly in a Mel Gibson/Julia Roberts movie titled "Conspiracy Theory." I invite you to go to minute 2:45 of the video link below to verify this. I am simply dumbfounded at what I discovered as a result of this. Life can certainly be most bizarre at times. Have a great one!<br />
<br />
With best wishes,<br/><a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/aboutus#burks" target="_blank">Fred Burks</a>for<a href="http://www.peerservice.org/" target="_blank">PEERS</a>and the<a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/aboutus" target="_blank">WantToKnow.info Team</a><br/><a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/fredburksresigns" target="_blank">Former language interpreter</a>for Presidents Bush and Clinton
<br />
<br/>Hi Helen,
<br />
Wow!!! When I first read your comments about my name being mentioned in the movie "Conspiracy Theory," I very much laughed and thought it couldn't be true. I figured you must have been hearing the name wrong. Then I found a four-minute intro to the movie at the below link:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwKMxwKQjR4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwKMxwKQjR4</a><br />
<br />
At minute 2:45, there it is, plain as can be! How strange!!! If you do an Internet search on my name, you will find that there is no one else with my name who is at all well known.<strong>So who is this Fred Burks that the Mel Gibson character mentions?</strong><br />
<br />
Now to make this even more weird, the film came out in 1997. Yet in 1997, I knew nothing about all of these conspiracy theories, and was in fact a debunker of conspiracy theories! Before my conversion in July 2001 (the result of information I've now posted at<a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/060602ufosvideosfootage" target="_blank">this link</a>), I had many debates with my housemate Declan about his weird theories of global control, where I basically laughed him off as a paranoid conspiracy theorist. As a<a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/050418fredburksinterpretingstories" target="_blank">White House language interpreter</a>, I had been in top secret meetings and never heard anything to confirm these bizarre conspiracy theories.<br />
<br />
And Rosie O'Donnell, who Gibson mentioned along with me, was not known as a conspiracy theorist until she came out on 9/11 in 2007. For a 2009<em>Popular Science</em>article trying to debunk Rosie O'Donnell on 9/11, visit<a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/engineering/4213805" target="_blank">this link</a>. How do you explain that this 1997 movie mentions both of us in this context long before either of us fell into the camp of conspiracy theorists? Incredible!!!<br />
<br />
Here's what wikipedia had to say about that Mel Gibson's opening rant in the movie at<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_Theory_%28film%29#Production_notes" target="_blank">this link</a>:<br />
<br />
"Early in the film, Jerry Fletcher [played by Mel Gibson] expounds on a number of his theories to a succession of taxi passengers. On one of the featurettes included on the DVD release of the film, director Richard Donner reveals<strong>these scenes were ad-libbed by Mel Gibson</strong>. The extras acting as passengers were not told what Gibson was going to say because Donner wanted their reactions to be as spontaneous and realistic as possible."<br />

How bizarre!<strong>Could it be that our world and reality are much more complex and flexible and that time is much more fluid than we might think?</strong>Anyway, I am extremely grateful for this find and will certainly send info out on this to my list of nearly 10,000 subscribers. Thank you so much Helen. I am simply dumbfounded. You take care and thanks for this exchange of emails.<br />
<br />
With sacred love and deep gratitude,<br/>Fred
