As I wrote in a previous post: "... a kind of convenience is a good guide. Otherwise it's easy to be led astray into all kinds of endless detours. I'm not falling into that trap."
What you are suggesting is exactly the kind of detour trap I'm avoiding. Only sometimes is it worth looking more into details. It's not wise to run like a dog after every stick thrown. |

Well, if you were off on a detour it wouldn't matter. There are other chew toys around. You insights aren't what anyone would really call "value added".

False. You made two explicit connections.
1. You connected the label "puppet master" to the court trial here: I asked you to address the connection here: You declined to do so, citing inconvenience and tedium. In other words, you simply didn't want to. 2. You connected Rothschild to the Illuminati here: I asked you to address that connection also. And you declined to address that one as well, also citing nothing more substantial than unwillingness. You have been refuted and you refuse to admit it. You cling to your predetermined beliefs in the face of evidence. That makes you just about as closed-minded as a person can be. What do you have to say about that? |

No, that's not the word. There's another word for people who refuse to take responsibility for their claims and beliefs.

The essence is still correct.
"That there were strong grounds to suspect that [Mr Rothschild] had facilitated the attendance of EU Trade Commissioner Lord Mandelson at meeting between Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and American aluminium executives so that Oleg Deripaska could close a £500 million deal by securing corrupt and improper disclosures and commitments concerning EU aluminium tariffs from Lord Mandelson" -- http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2012/177.html |

ok I am as skeptical as anybody about this story, and this $6 trillion find, but does anybody remember the strange Lord James of Blackheath speech in UK parliament referencing Foundation X and the extraordinary amounts of money apparently available ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaA-5_IjkeE he's been speaking about it again on 16th Feb this year referencing $15 trillion payments moving through the UK banking system, and somebody from an Indo-China dynasty owning $36 trillion which has been "removed by the Fed to support the dollar". he (Lord James) has documents (allegedly) signed by Alan Greenspan & Tim Geithner, (possibly fake) and is speaking in the UK parliament, so there seems to be something to this? there are allegations of the whole thing being a fraud in there, but apparently the $15 trillion worth of payments are real and there are some real questions that need answering about movement of cash and taxes owed at the very least. what exactly is going on here ? edit there's a thread here, but it is entirely inconclusive, dismissal without any consideration type thing http://forums.randi.org/showthread.p...mes+blackheath speech again here starting at 17.20 mins http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Pl...&player=smooth he's been chasing it for 2 years, if it was just a silly hoax I think he would probably have worked that out by now |

I think Lord James was taken in by hoaxers. The Foundation X he mentions seems to match the notorious OITC hoax.

The Vatican is involved once again!!!
From about 6:40 in the video he talks about how they (Foundation X I assume) said they were still on a gold standard and was backed by more gold than is publicly known. And then he said that the Vatican Bank has reserves that also are more than the public amount of gold in the world!

If anyone wants to be able to read the text of the speech rather than waste time with videos, it can be found here: http://www.publications.parliament.u...10110215000101 The video starts at column 1538. |

Unsupported? On the contrary, let me add some support:
"The Vatican is a principal financial power because in 1824 the House of Rothschild was appointed the sole fiscal agent of the entire Vatican empire." -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNg6xwwc48Y (from about 1:30) |

well yes this is what everybody concluded back then, but here we are after 2 years more digging, with him well aware of the possibility of aspects of it being a hoax, but still large and unexplained movements of money, supposedly genuinely certified by HSBC, and now he's calling for an official investigation to get to the bottom of it.
I don't think he's a complete moron and he has been talking to lots of different highly connected people about it and cannot dismiss some elements of it outright. |

Anders, if by any slim chance you are serious and not just trolling, do yourself a favour and be a bit more selective about what you attempt to present as "evidence".
bearing in mind that nobody here is watching the videos you link to, even if they did, a link to a Youtube video of a radio interview with "Eustace Mullins" a notorious racist conspiracy theorist who I have only recently learned of, and was one of the first people to promote the anti semitic Fed conspiracies is about as far from "evidence" as you could possibly get. you might want to believe everything anybody uploads to Youtube, but nobody else here is going to. |

Here is another source:
"It is a somewhat curious sequel to the attempt to set up a Catholic competitor to the Roths-childs that at the present time the latter are the guardians of the papal treasure." -- http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/ar...909-rothschild |

Yes, I know. It's consistent with the first quote: "The Vatican is a principal financial power because in 1824 the House of Rothschild was appointed the sole fiscal agent of the entire Vatican empire."
So in 1906 the encyclopedia said that the Rothschilds were the guardians of the papal treasures (fiscal agent for the Vatican). 1824 is one year different than this source: "Researcher Eustice Mullins writes that the Rothschilds took over all the financial operations of the worldwide Catholic Church in 1823." -- http://sites.google.com/site/whisleb...childbloodline |

Still not very recent, though. And who would have thought that the Vatican would employ, of all people, bankers to administer its financial affairs. By the way, is that really a different source, or is the "Eustice Mullins" cited in the second one the same as the "Eustace Mullins" in the first one? |

Sounds like the same Mullins. I would guess it's the same person.
As for the Rothschilds administering the Vatican's finances that's not so far-fetched since: "The Rothschild Group Rothschild is one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory groups, employing 3,000 people in 42 countries around the world." -- http://www.rothschild.com/ The Vatican Bank is something largely separate though I think: "The Istituto per le Opere di Religione [the Vatican Bank] was founded on 27 June 1942 by Pope Pius XII." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institu...eligion#Origin |

"Not so far-fetched", indeed entirely unremarkable, that a large and rich organisation would employ "one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory groups" to handle its financial affairs. The Vatican employing a large firm of bankers/financial advisors is not any sort of evidence for your conspiracy theory. |
