if we are already talking about ufos and trans-dimensional beings & demons, have you heard about Obama's plan to create additional states of the USA ? he slipped out the number "57", and only Puerto Rico is actually being debated. maybe RP could get itself nominated too... Federalistas, here we come again.

so, are the aliens helping the good guys or the bad guys ???

so, if there is a deal with the government, who will guarantee that the Aquino Corp. won't rescind it and take the loot themselves

btw i thought i saw a ufo once when i was in southern italy on avacation, don't know, was something shiny moving. maybe the aurora spyplane

That SEAS finding brings my mind back sometime ago to what Fr. Pascualito Monsanto (of the Aramaic Church of the Philippines and wrote a book about Philippine gold) wherein he said that gold has something to do with the stabilization of Earth's gravity. Though I brushed that aside as having no scientific basis, this new findings stirs my mind that maybe, gold might indeed have some Earth-size effect that modern science is still yet to discover. Gold has been mined since ancient times. Maybe the Ancients knew more about this metal than just for jewelry and adornment. In the Bible, gold is God's metal of choice for His Temple above silver and bronze.

This topic is now one year in this forum. Thank you everyone.

If the Marcoses are open to any investigation on the supposedly Marcos hidden wealth by the incoming administration of Pres.elect Noynoy Aquino, then I hope he will look beyond ex-Pres. Ferdinand Marcos and see Severino Garcia Santa Romana (aka Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz). It's high time Santa Romana have his place in history.

Seems there are so many lies and half truths, that with the staggering astronomical amount, you begin to question whether the scanty truth among the tons of lies on this matter is much more valuable than the abundant tons of gold...

Since this is in the realm of truth and fiction, i was wondering if Shambhalista ever took my joke about writing a novel seriously. This would make some great episodes in an adventure series (don't know if Abs-Cbn or GMA are airing any of those right now) far better than any Dan Brown inspired Illuminati movie or something else, and the RC could be slightly less upset about it. PKM could be an additional adviser, maybe throw in some immortal superheroes and the elementals (timespan is going to be at least from April 21, 900 until the present day). Ah, well necessarily "Marcos" or "Aquino" should be avoided and represented rather transparently by some other names. Better start the auditioning for Santy's role then lol

Of all the social institutions we are born into, directed by and conditioned upon, there seems to be no system as taken for granted and misunderstood… as the monetary system. Taking on nearly religious proportions, the established monetary institution exists as one of the most unquestioned forms of faith there is.

How money is created, the policies by which it is governed and how it truly affects society are unregistered interests of the great majority of the population.

In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planet's wealth… in a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, and where 50% of the world's population lives on less than 2 dollars a day… one thing is clear: Something is very wrong.

And whether we are aware of it or not, the lifeblood of all of our established institutions and thus society itself, is money. Therefore understanding this institution of monetary policy is critical to understanding why our lives are the way they are.

Unfortunately, economics is often viewed with confusion and boredom. Endless streams of financial jargon coupled with intimidating mathematics quickly deter people from attempts at understanding it.

However, the fact is, the complexity associated with the financial system is a mere mask, designed to conceal one of the most socially paralyzing structures humanity has ever endured.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

--------------------------------------------------------------

A number of years ago, the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, produced a document entitled "Modern Money Mechanics". This publication detailed the institutionalized practice of money creation, as utilized by the Federal Reserve and the web of global commercial banks it supports.

On the opening page, the document states its objective: "The Purpose of this booklet is to describe the basic process of money creation in a fractional reserve banking system". It then proceeds to describe this 'fractional reserve process' through various banking terminology. A translation of which goes something like this:

The United States Government decides it needs some money, so it calls up the Federal Reserve, and requests, say, 10 billion dollars. The fed replies, saying "sure… we'll buy 10 billion in government bonds from you."

So, the government then takes some piece of paper, paints some official looking designs on them, and calls them 'Treasury Bonds'. Then, it puts a value on these Bonds to the sum of 10 billion dollars, and sends them over to the Fed.

In turn, the people at the Fed draw up a bunch of impressive pieces of paper themselves, only this time calling them 'Federal Reserve Notes'… also designating a value of 10 billion dollars to the set.

The Fed then takes these notes and trades them for the Bonds. Once this exchange is complete, the government then takes the 10 billion in Federal Reserve Notes and deposits it into a bank account… and upon this deposit, the paper notes officially become 'legal tender' money, adding 10 billion to the US money supply. And there it is… 10 billion in new money has been created.

Of course, this example is a generalization, for, in reality, this transaction would occur electronically, with no paper used at all. In fact only 3% of the US money supply exists in physical currency. The other 97% essentially exists in computers alone.

Now, Government bonds are, by design, instruments of Debt and when the Fed purchases these bonds, with money it created essentially out of thin air, the government is actually promising to pay back that money to the Fed.

In other words… The money was created out of debt. This mind numbing paradox of how money, or value, can be created out of debt, or a liability, will become more clear as we further this exercise.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So, the exchange has been made and now 10 billion dollars sits in a commercial bank account. Here is where it gets really interesting, for as based on the Fractional Reserve practice, that 10 billion dollar deposit instantly becomes part of the bank's Reserves, just as all deposits do.

And regarding reserve requirements, as stated in Modern money mechanics:
"A bank must maintain legally required reserves, equal to a prescribed percentage of its deposits."

It then quantifies this by stating, "under current regulations, the reserve requirement against most transaction accounts is 10%."

This means that with a ten billion dollar deposit, 10% or 1 billion is held as the required reserve, while the other 9 billion is considered an excessive reserve and can be used as the basis for new loans.

Now, it is logical to assume that this 9 billion is literally coming out of the existing 10 billion dollars deposit. However, this is actually not the case.

What really happens is that the 9 billion is simply created out of thin air, on top of the existing 10 billion dollar deposit. This is how the money supply is expanded.

As stated in Modern Money Mechanics: "Of course, they (the banks) do not really pay out loans from the money they receive as deposits. If they did this, no additional money would be created. What they do when they make loans is to accept promissory notes (loan contracts) in exchange for credits (money) to the borrower's transaction accounts."

In other words, the 9 billion can be created out of nothing, simply because there is a demand for such a loan, and there is a 10 billion dollars deposit to satisfy the reserve requirements.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now, let's assume that somebody walks into this bank and borrows the available 9 billion dollars. They will then most likely take that money and deposit it into their own bank account.

The process then repeats, for that deposit becomes part of the banks reserves, 10% is isolated and in turn 90% of the 9 billion or 8.1 billion is now available as newly created money for more loans. And, of course, that 8.1 can be loaned out and redeposited creating an additional 7.2 billion… to 6.5 billion... to 5.9 billion etc.

This deposit-money creation-loan cycle can technically go on to infinity… the average mathematical result is that about 90 billion dollars can be created on top of the original 10 billion. In other words, for every deposit that ever occurs in the banking system, about 9 times that amount can be created out of thin air.

[Bank of America commercial]

So that we understand how money is created by this fractional reserve banking system, a logical, yet elusive question might come to mind:

What is actually giving this newly created money value?
The answer: The money that already exists.

The new money essentially steals value from the existing money supply… for the total pool of money is being increased, irrespective to demand for goods and services, and, as supply and demand finds equilibrium- prices rise, diminishing the purchasing power of each individual dollar. This is generally referred to as 'inflation' and inflation is essentially a hidden tax on the public.

(Ron Paul): "… what is the advice that you generally get, and that is inflate the currency. They don`t say debase the currency, they don`t say devalue the currency, they don`t say cheat the people with savings, they say lower the interest rates. The real deception is when we distort the value of money, when we create money out of thin air, we have no savings yet there`s so called capitol… so my question boils down to this-how in the world can we expect to solve the problems of inflation-- that is the increase in the supply of money-- with more inflation? "

Of course, it can't. The Fractional Reserve System of monetary expansion is inherently inflationary. For the act of expanding the money supply without there being a proportional expand of good and services in the economy, will always debase a currency.

In fact a quick glance at the historical values of the US dollars vs. the money supply, reflects this point definitively, for the inverse relationship is obvious.

In fact, One dollar in 1913 required 21.60 cents in 2007, to match value… that is a 96% devaluation since the Federal reserve has come into existence.

Now, if this reality of inherent and perpetual inflation seems absurd and economically self-defeating… hold that thought, for absurdity is an understatement in regard to how our financial system really operates.

For in our financial system, money is debt and debt is money. Here is a chart of the US money supply from 1950 to 2006. Here is a chart of the US national debt for the same period. How interesting it is that the trends are nearly identical… for the more money there is, the more debt there is… the more debt there is, the more money there is.

To put it a different way, every single dollar in your wallet is owed to somebody by somebody; for remember, the only way the money can come into existence is from loans. Therefore, if everyone in the country were able to pay off all debts, including the government, there would not be one dollar in circulation.

"If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn`t be any money."
- Marriner Eccles, Governor of the Federal Reserve
September 30th, 1941, House Committee Hearing on Banking and Currency

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now, so far we have discussed the reality that money is created out of debt, through loans. These loans are based on a bank's "Reserves" and Reserves are derived from deposits. Through this fractional reserve system, any one deposit can create 9 times its original value, in turn debasing the existing money supply, raising prices in society.

And since all this money is created out of debt and circulated randomly through commerce, people become detached from their original debt and a disequilibrium exists where people are forced to compete for labor, in order to pull enough money out of the money supply to cover their costs of living.

As dysfunctional and backwards as all of this might seem… there is still one thing we have omitted from this equation… and it is this element of the structure which reveals the truly fraudulent nature of the system itself.

The application of Interest.

When the government borrows money from the Fed or when person borrows money from a bank, it almost always has to be paid back with accrued interest. In other words, almost every single dollar that exists must be eventually returned to a bank, with interest paid as well.

But, if all money is borrowed from the central bank and is expanded by the commercial banks through loans, only what would be referred to as the 'principle' is being created in the money supply…. So then, where is the money to cover all of the interest that is charged?

Nowhere. It doesn't exist. The ramifications of this are staggering, for the amount of money owed back to the banks will always exceed the amount of money that is available in circulation. This is why Inflation is a constant in the economy, for new money is always needed to help cover the perpetual deficit built into the system, caused by the the need to pay the interest.

What this also means is that mathematically, defaults and bankruptcy are literally built into the system. And there will always be poor pockets of society that get the short end of the stick. An analogy would be a game of musical chairs, for once the music stops someone is left out to dry.

And that's the point. It invariably transfers true wealth from the individual to the banks, for if you are unable to pay for your mortgage, they will take your property. This is particularly enraging when you realize that not only is such a default inevitable due to the fractional reserve practice, but also because of the fact that the money that the bank loaned to you didn't even legally exist in the first place.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The fractional reserve policy perpetrated by the Federal Reserve, which has spread in practice to the great majority of banks in the world is, in fact, a system of modern slavery. Think about it… Money is created out of debt. And what do people do when in debt? They submit to employment to pay it off. But, if money can only be created out of loans, how can society ever be debt free? It can't. And that's the point.

And it is the fear of losing assets, coupled with the struggle to keep up with the perpetual debt and inflation inherent in the system, compounded by the inescapable scarcity within the money supply itself created by the interest that can never be repaid… that keeps the wage slave in line… running on the hamster wheel with the millions of others… in effect powering an Empire that truly benefits only the elite at the top of the pyramid… for at the end of day, who are you really working for? The banks. Money is created in a bank and invariably ends up in a bank. They are the true masters along with corporations and governments they support.

Physical slavery requires people to be housed and fed. Economic slavery requires the people to feed and house themselves.

It is one of the most ingenious scams for social manipulation ever created, and at its core, it is an invisible war against the population. Debt is the weapon used to conquer and enslave societies and Interest is its prime ammunition.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Greed and competition are not the result of immutable human temperament… greed and fear of scarcity are in fact being continuously created and amplified as a direct result of the kind of money we are using… We can produce more than enough food to feed everybody… but there is clearly not enough money to pay for it all. The scarcity is in our national currencies. In fact, the job of the central banks is to create and maintain that currency scarcity. The direct consequence is that we have to fight with each other in order to survive."

Zeitgeist: The Movie
Zeitgeist: Addendum
Watch online free at http://zeitgeistmovie.com/

Released in June 2007, "Zeitgeist: The Movie" focuses on suppressed historical & modern information about currently dominant social institutions, while also exploring what could be in store for humanity if the power structures at large continue their patterns of self-interest, corruption and consolidation. This film was seen by well over 100 million people around the world.

In October 2008, "Zeitgeist: Addendum" was released as a continuation of the first film, focusing on the core issues relevant to the subject of human corruption, while in turn offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

And yes, there are many unexplainable incidences of unseen forces behind treasure digs, especially here in Cavite. Diggers would make a hit and suddenly it seemed to sink deeper. But these are mostly Spanish times treasure not Japanese. My long gone grandfather (Peregrino S. Campos who was presidential driver to Pres. Garcia) himself dug some silver or "puti" as the old people call it here in Cavite. Gold is "pula". A cousin of my grandfather, Teofilo Campos, and two associates, also came near getting a treasure. They actually saw the treasure but as they were about to help themselves with their find, a voice from nowhere said something like this: You can get the treasure but one of you will be left behind in exchange for it. They all ran away according to my lolo Filo. Our ancestral lot in Cavite was offered before by a Japanese treasure hunter ten times its price,not to buy, but just to dig. My grandfather, who was a WW II guerilla, did not entertain the offer. Yes, many locals tried to dig. But they said it just sunk, and sunk.

Tarciana C. Rodriguez, the court appointed Administrator of the holographic Last Will written by Mr. Jose Antonio Diaz (aka, Severino Garcia Santa Romana) backed by the DNP enterprizes (aka Diaz umbrella) is having a hard time settling Diaz's Last Will as the Hong Kong bank holding Diaz's assets blocked her claims and told her to come back in some future time. But Tarciana is now maybe in her 80's or 90's which mean that she only have too little of a future time. I guess DNP is not that strong enough to help Tarciana face the banks and settle the Last Will of Jose Antonio Diaz. Pres. Noynoy may like to know that the Philippines was allotted 25% in the Diaz Last Will or more than 150,000 metric tons if referring to the 617,500 metric tons that used to back the Central Bank of the Philippines. At $30 Million per metric ton, Philippines will roughly get $4.5 Trillion. However, DNP, for their recovery efforts (if indeed they can recover) would chop 50%, leaving $2.25 Trillion for the Philippines. Some people may still want to say that this is too fantastic but former First Lady, now Congresswoman, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, is just too happy to show to a BBC reporter her $987 Billion Belgian Gold Certificate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGzcliLJolk...feature=related

Point is, all transactions with regards to Philippine gold would require Philippine government agencies participation/authentication, probably from Pasay City Court or from SEC. Should the incoming administration of Pres. Noynoy Aquino act? Of course it should. Philippine government may help put pressure on that Hong Kong bank holding the assets of Diaz and in return, DNP may just drop that 50% recovery fee for the Philippines. $4.5 Trillion will be a strong jump start for the Philippines under Pres. Noynoy.

Six years of Philippine reconstruction under Pres. Noynoy would not be enough even if Philippines gets today the 25% allotted by Severino Garcia Santa Romana from foreign banks, and yet research, resolution, reconciliation and recovery will still eat so much time.

By the end of 2010, the Philippines will stand unique among the world’s nations (next to China, for example) by being foreign debt free. Well, we won’t but we could, if we wanted to. The Philippines will be holding enough foreign currency to pay off all of our government’s foreign currency-denominated debt. Think about that. After all these years, the Philippines does not have to owe the foreigners any money. Sure, the government will borrow domestically but that is a completely different proposition than being forced to borrow in the international financial markets just to survive.

The Philippines is so financially sound in the eyes of the global financial markets, that now the government can raise money, borrow and pay back the loans in pesos. Think about that, too. Foreigners are willing to loan us money payable in five years and be paid back in pesos! Yes we will pay a slightly higher interest rate than Japan, for example. But the global financial markets are not worried about a Philippine economic reversal or the peso dropping like a rock. Too bad more Filipinos do not feel that way.

But what suddenly changed the inds of few American policymakers under Pres. Mckinley between May and August 1898 that shipped more than 20,000 American soldiers (that peaked to over 100,000) across the Pacific and blocked the Filipinos from entering Manila, from entering Intramuros, from entering Fort Santiago?

The Americans could had been stupefied to see 1,000,000 metric tons of gold in the tunnels of Fort Santiago...

... I think he was holding in his right hand a dispatch from Manila containing the discovery of the large bullion of gold inside Fort Santiago, and in his left hand, a dispatch from Spain affirming its existence. And he might not be praying at all but was in agony thinking how to defend to the American people and to the whole world the slaughter of the first republic in Asia and a natural friend.
