MIDDLE EAST CYBER WEAPON "FLAME" CAUSES MAJOR CONCERN

The super computer virus known as FLAME is causing widespread disruption across the Middle East.
Now Russia has issued its latest findings on this cyber weapon:

Almost €100bn pulled out of Spain as investors beat a hasty retreat

Almost €100bn (£80.2bn) of cash was pulled out of Spain in the first three months of the year by private and corporate investors fleeing the advancing financial and political crisis.

The Bank of Spain said €66.2bn was withdrawn in March alone – the fastest rate since records began in 1990 – taking the total to €97bn for the first quarter.

Experts warned that the chaotic state-rescue of Bankia is likely to have speeded up the capital flight, compounding the already critical instability of the banks.

Foreign investors have also rapidly withdrawn their support for Spanish government funding. According to figures from Barclays Capital, foreigners accounted for just 30pc of the holders of Spanish sovereign debt in March, down from 40pc at the same time last year.

In a bid to plug the draining confidence, Spain on Friday launched a diplomatic offensive in the US and Germany in a bid to win support for its banks but still stave off a bail-out. Read More

"The End Game: 2012 And 2013 Will Usher In The End" - The Scariest Presentation Ever?

If Raoul Pal was some doomsday spouting windbag, writing in all caps, arbitrarily pasting together disparate charts to create 200 page slideshows, it would be easy to ignore him. He isn't. The founder of Global Macro Investor [12]"previously co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund in London for GLG Partners, one of the largest hedge fund groups in the world. Raoul came to GLG from Goldman Sachs where he co-managed the hedge fund sales business in Equities and Equity Derivatives in Europe... Raoul Pal retired from managing client money in 2004 at the age of 36 and now lives on the Valencian coast of Spain, from where he writes." It is his writing we are concerned about, and specifically his latest presentation, which is, for lack of a better word, the most disturbing and scary forecast of the future of the world we have ever seen....
And we see a lot of those.
Consider this:

• We are here... [13]
• We don’t know exactly what is to come, but we can all join the very few dots from where we are now, to the collapse of the first major bank…
• With very limited room for government bailouts, we can very easily join the next dots from the first bank closure to the collapse of the whole European banking system, and then to the bankruptcy of the governments themselves.
• There are almost no brakes in the system to stop this, and almost no one realises the seriousness of the situation.
• The problem is not Government debt per se. The real problem is that the $70 trillion in G10 debt is the collateral for $700 trillion in derivatives…
• Yes, that equates to 1200% of Global GDP and it rests on very, very weak foundations
• From an EU crisis, we only have to join one dot for a UK crisis of equal magnitude.
• And then do you think Japan and China would not be next?
• And then do you think the US would survive unscathed?
• That is the end of the fractional reserve banking system and of fiat money.

• It is the big RESET.

It continues:

• Bonds will be stuck at 1% in the US, Germany, UK and Japan (for this phase).
• The whole bond market will be dead.
• Short selling on bonds - banned
• Short selling stocks – banned
• CDS – banned
• Short futures – banned
• Put options – banned

• All that is left is the Dollar and Gold

It only gets better. We use the term loosely:

• We have around 6 months left of trading in Western markets to protect ourselves or make enough money to offset future losses.
• Spend your time looking at the risks of custody, safekeeping, counterparty etc. Assume that no one and nothing is safe.
• After that…we put on our tin helmets and hide until the new system emerges

And the punchline

From a timing perspective, I think 2012 and 2013 will usher in the end.

As the implimentation of the Mark of the Beast gets ever nearer the USA is now considering RFID implants for everyone who joins the food stamp programme. Is the chip THE mark or is it just the forerunner? We will see as time moves along.

I strongly recommend you take a look at our dvd site (click here) and consider purchasing my mini documentary on the Mark of the Beast and the moves that are underway to bring it about and do away with cash.

Use of RFID Tracking Technology To Be Mandatory In US Food Stamp Program

Food stamp welfare individuals must soon be chipped"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16-17)

 In a little while, the above scene in Revelation 13 will become a global reality. People can no longer buy or sell without the mark of the beast. And sometimes that would mean no longer being able to eat!
The USDA is now considering biometric identification for all individuals who will want to benefit from their Food and Nutrition Services. The RFID chip may just soon be a must for everyone who does not want to starve!
The following is an excerpt of the executive summary of the FINAL REPORT of the Use of Biometric Identification Technology to Reduce Fraud in the Food Stamp Program:
Biometric identification technology provides automated methods to identify a person based on physical characteristics—such as fingerprints, hand shape, and characteristics of the eyes and face—as well as behavioral characteristics—including signatures and voice patterns.

Although used in law enforcement and defense for several years, it has recently been used in civilian applications and shows some promise to reduce the number of duplicate cases in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) and other assistance programs .

Already operational in some states
Biometric identification systems are currently operational at some level in Arizona, California (under county initiative, first by Los Angeles County), Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. Finger imaging is the principal form of technology used in all eight States, though alternative technologies have simultaneously undergone trials in Massachusetts (facial recognition) and Illinois (retinal scanning). By the end of 2000, new systems are expected to be in place in California (statewide unified system), Delaware, and North Carolina. Other States are currently in the initial planning stages, including Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. However, there is little information available at this point regarding the specific course and trajectory these States will follow in terms of system types, implementation schedules, and the benefit programs in which they will implement the new requirement.
The States planned for implementation of their biometric identification systems in response to a wide variety of factors and considerations idiosyncratic to each State environment. Some States reported that their respective legislative mandates, which prescribed specific dates by which biometric systems were required to be in place, allowed insufficient time for development and planning. The States developed and followed implementation schedules in accordance with internal priorities and considerations. The States uniformly described their implementation processes as largely uneventful, though they encountered a variety of minor implementation issues, most of which were associated with the logistical difficulties of mobilizing and managing such a complex initiative.
Preparing staff for the implementation of the biometric systems, both philosophically and operationally, took different forms, priorities, and levels of effort in the States. At implementation, advance notification to clients and/or the general public about new biometric client identification procedures was considered important by all State representatives. The objective of providing advance notification was to inform and prepare clients for the additional application or recertification step (i.e., to explain the requirement and who is required to submit, and to address client concerns), as well as to accelerate enrollment of the existing caseload. All States prepared informational mailings to clients advising them of the new requirement. Some States reported developing additional outreach media including multilingual (English and Spanish) videos, posters, and brochures for viewing and distribution in the local office. Most of the States also identified various outlets in the community through which they informed the general public in advance about the implementation of biometric client identification procedures.
Program outcomes
The evaluations of finger imaging systems conducted by six States have produced the following findings.

• A small number of duplicate applications (approximately 1 duplicate for every 5,000 cases) have been detected by finger imaging systems. Finger-imaging systems appear to detect more fraud in statewide implementations than in regional pilot systems. Additional matches have been found by interstate comparisons of finger-image data.
• Institution of a finger-imaging requirement can produce a significant, short-term reduction in caseload, because some existing clients refuse to comply with the requirement. The number of refusals depends on the implementation procedures and appears to be lower when finger imaging is incorporated into the recertification process.
• The most carefully controlled estimate of non-compliance among existing clients suggests that introduction of a finger-imaging requirement reduces participation by approximately 1.3%. However, this estimate reflects both reduced fraud and deterrence of eligible individuals and households.

Spain in 'total emergency' as debt crisis engulfs nation

The Telegraph

by: Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Thursday, May 31, 2012

Spain is facing the gravest danger since the end of the Franco dictatorship as the country is frozen out of global capital markets and slides towards an epic showdown with Europe.

“We’re in a situation of total emergency, the worst crisis we have ever lived through,” said ex-premier Felipe Gonzalez, the country’s elder statesman. ...

Chaos over the $24 bilion rescue of crippled lender Bankia has led to the abrupt resignation of central bank governor Miguel Ángel Fernández Ordóñez, who testified to the senate that he had been muzzled to avoid enflaming events as confidence in the country drains away.

Spain's financial crisis contributed to the euro's free-fall to a two-year low of $1.239 on Wednesday. The country is caught in a classic deflationary vise: a rising debt burden on a shrinking economic base, according to Andrew Roberts, credit chief at RBS. Photo Credit:AP

Was this girl murdered after being snatched for Vatican sex parties? Police try and solve the mystery of the 15-year-old who vanished in 1983

By Andrew Malone and Nick Pisa

PUBLISHED: 00:58, 30 May 2012

When forensic investigators opened a diamond-encrusted tomb in the heart of Rome a few days ago, bystanders gagged and recoiled as the whiff of death billowed into the summer air.

Watched by priests in black clerical robes, and with the sound of a Latin Mass audible from a church nearby, the stench came from the decomposing remains of a notorious Italian gangland killer who, curiously, was buried by the Vatican in a place usually reserved for saints.

Inside the crypt at the Basilica of St Apollinare, police forensics experts found, encased in his expensively tailored dark blue suit and black tie, the decaying cadaver of Enrico De Pedis, who was shot dead by Mafia rivals in 1990.

The family of Emanuela, pictured playing the flute, are waiting to hear if the tests confirm the bones are those of the schoolgirl, who disappeared in the summer of 1983

Having supposedly repented before his death and left a large sum to charity (not to mention £600,000 to a Rome priest), the gangster, who ran drugs and prostitution rackets, was given dispensation to be buried in the seventh- century church, with diamonds spelling out his name on the tomb.

While the mobster’s presence on sacred ground has caused a scandal, it’s his role as an alleged pimp to senior Vatican figures that threatens to plunge the Roman Catholic Church into its gravest crisis yet — after astonishing claims about the sexual abuse and death of Emanuela Orlandi, a pretty 15-year-old girl and talented musician. It is those claims that led police to open the crypt.

Near the casket containing the body of the gangster, there was a box with other human bones, which police took for DNA testing, escorted by motorcycle outriders as they sped from Piazza Navona to a laboratory.

The family of Emanuela are waiting to hear if the tests confirm the bones are those of the schoolgirl, who disappeared in the summer of 1983 after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a flute lesson in Rome.

Mafia gangster De Pedis, left, was shot dead in 1990 and right, controversial Monsignor Marcinkus, a senior prelate and former head of the Vatican bank. Sabrina Minardi, who was engaged to De Pedis, has told prosecutors Emanuela had been kidnapped on the ‘orders of Monsignor Marcinkus’

Often seen playing within the Vatican walls, where her father worked as a lay official in administration, Emanuela was last seen getting into a green BMW in the centre of the Eternal City. She has not been seen since. If the bones in the tomb are hers, it will be a hammer blow to the credibility of the Church, amid allegations that the girl was abused at depraved orgies attended by some of the Vatican’s most senior prelates and advisers to successive popes.

To the dismay of Vatican officials, already reeling from disclosures about cover-ups involving paedophile priests, these claims come from an insider — a veteran priest with unprecedented access to the inner sanctums of the Vatican.

Father Gabriel Amorth, a priest for 50 years, believes the girl was the victim of a ‘crime with a sexual motive’ and that police should focus their investigations on the Vatican.

A burial service truck enters the courtyard of Sant' Apollinare Basilica, in Rome, before the tomb of mobster Enrico De Pedis was opened

The priest has published a book called the Last Exorcist, making lurid claims that Emanuela’s death was part of a satanic plot. Father Amorth — appointed the Vatican’s official exorcist by Pope John Paul II — said: ‘A girl of 15 is not going to get into a car unless it’s with someone she knows. It is important to speak to the people who knew Emanuela.

‘All too often, this is how satanic sects work: they get a girl into a car and then they disappear. The game is all too easy. They drug them and then they do what they want to the girls.

‘Satan attacks priests and people who have consecrated themselves to God. By striking at a priest it signifies dragging down to Hell many other people. Think about all those priests who have muddied their vestments by sexually abusing minors. These acts are demonic. Can a girl disappear from somewhere so close to the Vatican? Sadly, yes.’

Emanuela Orlandi was last seen getting into a green BMW in the centre of the Eternal City

As well as carrying out more than 70,000 exorcisms, Father Amorth, 85, is a colourful figure criticised for suggesting Harry Potter is immoral because talk of magic is a ‘turn to the devil’, and that yoga is evil for turning people towards Hinduism.

Yet suggestions of depraved Vatican sex orgies are not simply the claims of one man — far from it.

The allegations are also supported by the former lover of the gangster whose tomb was opened last week. She is under police protection after swearing a statement alleging De Pedis procured girls for Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, a senior prelate and former head of the Vatican bank, long accused of Mafia links.

Sabrina Minardi, who was engaged to De Pedis at the time of his death aged 38, has also told prosecutors young Emanuela had been kidnapped on the ‘orders of Monsignor Marcinkus’. ‘They (the gangster and the priest) knew each other and confided in each other,’ says a leaked copy of her witness statement.

‘I don’t know who actually kidnapped Emanuela, but I know the order came from high up, from Monsignor Marcinkus.’

Minardi claims she met the frightened teenager with De Pedis in a bar on the  city’s Gianicolo Hill, which overlooks the Vatican, and that the gangster warned her to ‘forget who you have just seen’.

She ‘took girls to the Marcinkus place at the Vatican a few times, maybe five or six times’, and Emanuela was kept in a secret apartment inside the Vatican after she was  kidnapped.

After being abused at sadistic sex parties involving senior Vatican figures, the girl was allegedly murdered and her body thrown into a cement mixer De Pedis kept for disposing of Mafia enemies.

Now, the police want to know if her remains were then taken to the tomb De Pedis had been granted access to by the Vatican. Similar allegations were made by an anonymous caller to an Italian TV crime show in 2008, saying the answer to the girl’s disappearance lay inside the gangster’s tomb.

It later emerged that the caller was an underworld crime figure — and close friend of De Pedis — who also did business with Marcinkus.

The monsignor, who died six years ago, was a controversial figure who was questioned about laundering Mafia money through the Vatican Bank in the Seventies.

He used his status in the early Eighties to avoid being questioned by police probing the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in which the Vatican had invested.

The collapse was linked to the murder of Roberto Calvi, dubbed God’s Banker, when his body was  found hanging under Black-friars Bridge in London in 1982. His  pockets were filled with cash and stones.

His death was first recorded as a suicide, but police believe he was murdered by the Mafia after bungled money laundering.

Six years after Marcinkus’s death, his past is coming under scrutiny once again following Father Amorth’s new claims.

The dead girl’s brother and other campaigners marched to St Peter’s Square as the Pope held prayers on  Sunday, bearing pictures of  Emanuela.

They chanted ‘Shame! Shame’ after Pope Benedict studiously avoided offering prayers for the dead girl, instead asking worshippers to support an archery group.

The scandal could hardly have come at a worse time for the Vatican, which was gripped by a new crisis yesterday as Pope Benedict’s butler was suspended amid allegations he leaked sensitive details about massive financial corruption to Italian newspapers.

Meanwhile, there are countless court cases against paedophile priests pending around the globe.

This is hardly the first time allegations detailing secret Vatican orgies have emerged. In 1999, there was uproar in the Vatican court when a book was published about sex and corruption involving nuns and priests serving the Pope.

After Vatican lawyers unsuccessfully tried to have the book banned, officials were enraged when it emerged that one of the authors was Father Luigi Marinelli, who was hauled before an ecclesiastical court and defrocked.

The book, Gone With The Wind In The Vatican, went on to become an Italian best-seller, detailing cases of priests and nuns who had been caught having sex, with many of them being promoted or moved and the scandals covered up.

One monsignor had bedded so many nuns in Rome and on overseas missions that he was given a ‘nice bishop’s job in a diocese by the sea in southern Italy’ to stop the scandal spreading.

Shortly after it was published, Father Marinelli said: ‘The book . . . just points out that the Vatican is made up of men, who, like me, are flawed. It’s all true — in fact there was other wilder material that I had to leave out.’

These fresh claims in recent days about Vatican orgies are fuelled by  testimony from Monsignor Simeone Duca, another Vatican insider who was in charge of the Pope’s Secret Archive, where records dating back centuries hold the secrets of the Catholic Church.

‘Duca gave an interview shortly before he died,’ says Paulo Rodari, a journalist who wrote the Last Exorcist with Father Amorth.

‘He said parties were regularly organised with the help of Vatican guards — known as gendarmes — at which young girls were recruited and then paid for sex.

‘The circle of guests would include people from the Vatican, and they were held at the embassy to the Vatican of a foreign country in Rome. I believe Emanuela was murdered to ensure her silence.’

The missing girl’s brother, Pietro Orlandi, 52, told the Mail he clings to the hope his little sister is alive — though he has to fear the worst.

‘As far as I am concerned, the Vatican knows something, but it is refusing to speak — they have always claimed secrecy of state and not shared any information with the investigators. It is a silence — an omerta like the Mafia,’ he says.

‘What we really need to know is why the Vatican allowed an underworld boss to be buried in such a sacred place. We need to know the relationship between the Holy See and the criminal underworld. It has been almost 29 years since Emanuela disappeared, and in all that time we have had silence from the Vatican.

‘I shall never forget the day Emanuela disappeared — I usually took her and collected her from her music lesson. That day I said I couldn’t. We quarrelled and she stormed off, slamming the door.

‘That was the last time I saw her. I have relived that moment for 29 years, wondering what would have happened if I had taken her.’

Perhaps now those tests in a Roman lab will reveal whether one of the Vatican’s most awful secrets really was buried in a gangster’s diamond-encrusted tomb.
