Fake money buys fake news

All of humanity is united in a coalition for the rule of law to exchange the Federal Reserve Notes and other fractional reserve currencies in a Global Currency Reset. Media is simply lying to perpetuate the corruption and to fool the unwary.

In 2014, one of the viewers on the Wake up America show tweeted, "Karen is live right now! She is perhaps the most important whistleblower humanity has ever known. Pls listen in!"

​I am "embedded" together with the rest of humanity, in all of the world's assets placed in a trust at the end of WWII. Until the US Constitution of 1789 goes back into force and effect, I vote the shares of the US on the Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF. I have refused to go along with the American Bar Association in pretending that the Constitution of 1789 is in force and effect. I have said, on behalf of Americans, that we do not accept secret martial law in the United States or bogus courts.

There are no short-cuts in figuring out who is telling the truth. Consistency over time is one criteria. Another criteria is whether pieces of a puzzle fit together, just like a jigsaw puzzle.

​Now I have been answering your questions and comments after each of the segments on this series is uploaded. That is how people learned that I am "for real" and that I work for humanity, which is united in taking back our world from the Banking Cartel. 

There is alot of corruption from the Banking Cartel in the international financial system. And this comes about because of the paper money, also called "fractional reserve fiat currency." This paper money is issued by central banks that belong to the Bank for International Settlements. We have been calling this group the Network of Global Corporate Control because this is what 3 mathematicians at the Federal Institute of Technology (Vitali, Glattfelder, and Battiston of ETH Zurich called them.
arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf
​

This group even had the nerve to change legitimate governments into companies (corporations.) But humanity knows right from wrong and truth from lies. We have made it clear to the Banking Cartel that the people in the United States do not accept secret martial law that the US Congress was agreeing to behind our backs .  

Let's recall the last several segments, where we talked about how it was the Swiss Octogon, ruled by the Pharonic bloodline families, and descended from the Knights Templar, who dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and financed Hitler.

​The people of the world and a coalition for the rule of law are on track to end the corruption in the international financial system by exchanging paper currencies issued by the Banking Cartel for local currencies and currencies minted out of the world's gold in the Global Debt Facility. 

Comments

Judging by the responses of the Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF and the people who continue to contact me, we are ok. ​

​Some people get confused or bored with all this detail. All you need to do is to realize that there is so much corruption, and anything that is confusing you was probably deliberately made so complicated to cover up the corruption. But you can't trust the experts, and certainly not the lawyers or accountants, or journalists for that matter. I have let Germany and Japan know via the defense attachés stationed in their Washington embassies that the US is honoring our defense treaties with these countries, and that the Federal Reserve Notes are getting exchanged in the Global Currency Reset. Stay tuned. This is likely to come to pass, but it depends on all of us and what we do. 

The Banking Cartel likes to pretend it is entitled to the world's gold. It isn't. What makes things confusing is that the Banking Cartel owns the media and is trying to dominate the internet and fool people about what is real and what is fake. 

 I have been given alot of lessons in how to be the Overseer Mandate Trustee for the Global Debt Facility. I am not going to take "short-cuts" and cut out the decisions that need to be taken by the beneficiaries of the Global Debt Facility. So I am right in the middle of the Global Currency Reset, and I am accountable to everyone. 

Journalists in the mainstream media owned by the Network of Global Corporate Control are discredited, as people refer to journalists as part of the "presstitute." There is a media blackout on me and the Global Debt Facility. The only mainstream media article about me appeared in Newsweek en Español two years ago (and was taken down for awhile)

​

Federal Judges are all employees of the Network of Global Corporate Control who have betrayed their oaths of office after the bankers replaced the Constitution of 1789 in a second, secret Constitution in 1871. The United States is now in interregnum. The future of the United States is on the side of the crew that is cleaning up this whole corrupt mess.

Intro

​Good evening, I am your host, Karen Hudes. Welcome to this DCTV Series about the Network of Global Corporate Control. Today's segment is pre-recorded and shows how humankind and the community of nations are confronting the Banking Cartel and how the Banking Cartel is now subject to the will of humankind. Thanks to DCTV, Carmen Stanley, Studio Producer; Maurice Jackson, Audio, and Prompter.

This segment and the teleprompter that is published before the show, is going to explain the most important developments. Just like we have been doing for nearly two years, the video of this show will be uploaded on the internet, and you will have a chance to comment. At the end of this teleprompter are documents showing that the government of the United States is not legitimate. That is, it is not operating under its Constitution of 1789.  DCTV teleprompt s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/DCTVteleprompt2.7.17.1.pdf

​We will also talk about how all of humanity is winding down the Banking Cartel under receivership in the Global Debt Facility.

(Definition:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receivership​
Note: especially in cases where a company cannot meet its financial obligations or enters bankruptcy and The receiver may:
  • Run the company in order to maximize the value of the company's assets, sell the company as a whole, or sell part of the company and close unprofitable divisions.
  • Secure the assets of the company and/or entity.
  • Realize the assets of the company and/or entity.
  • Manage the affairs of the company in order to resolve debts owing.)
 
Another name for the Banking Cartel is the Network of Global Corporate Control. This is the name that 3 mathematicians at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, gave their paper in 2011 
showing the existence of the Banking Cartel. These mathematicians are Stefania Vitali, James B. Glattfelder, and Stefano Battiston. Vitali, Glattfelder, and Battiston. ​arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) was created in 1944 to administer the international monetary gold reserves of the nations, as well as other precious metals, gemstones, artwork, and treasure set aside after WWII in a trust called the Global Debt Facility, TVM-LSM-666. 
s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/Inventory+D-Tunnel+2.jpg

After the National Advisory Council on International Monetary and Financial Policies, that is the US Government Agencies set up to regulate the World Bank which includes the Fed, the Commerce Department, Treasury, and State, declined to bring the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development into compliance on the capital markets, on February 14, 2011 I notified the Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF of this fact.  On January 19, 2012, the Board of Governors attempted to bring the IBRD into compliance by settling my suit in the US Court of Appeals and reinstating me as Acting General Counsel of the IBRD.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_counsel  Note - directly advising the board of directors in place of outside lawyers.  

In this case, the Board of Governors www.worldbank.org/en/about/leadership/governors where "
All powers of the Bank are vested in the Boards of Governors, the Bank's senior decision-making body according to the Articles of Agreement." (188 Ministers of finance)
​
​​
​The Judicial Conference of the United States, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the sureties who bond the oaths of the federal judiciary simply 
stonewalled 188 Ministers of Finance and Development on the Board of Governors.  A conglomerate on the capital markets that thinks it is above the law has been causing this corruption. The Secretaries of State of 11 states have recorded the liens against the Federal Reserve and the other agents of the Network of Global Corporate Control.

Secure News vs. Fake news

Do you hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from the mainstream media? 

On December 18, 2015 the Development Committee of the World Bank and IMF fired the President of the World Bank, Dr. Jim Kim, and the Vice President of Human Resources, Sean McGrath.
 
Do you think that information would be major news to report?  There's more...

I registered my unlimited power of attorney for Allied Security Holdings LLC, also known as Allied Barton, on behalf of the Global Debt Facility with the Securities and Exchange Commission. But the Network of Global Corporate Control has dishonored its obligation to permit the Global Currency Reset that was announced by the Board of Governors to proceed. Instead, the Network of Global Corporate Control has caused Presswire to remove the Press Release from the internet.

Can you trust the media for real facts?

The press release was cleared by the Board of Governors of the World Bank before it was released, and remained on the internet before the Network of Global Corporate Control caused Presswire to remove the announcement of the Global Currency Reset illegally. 

In case you missed the fine print on the Presswire release: 09 March 2015 - The Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF announced that fractional reserve fiat currencies will be replaced with gold from a trust created at the end of World War II.

You need to see this news again!

The US Congress suspended the Constitution of 1789, secretly extending a state of emergency since 1861, using war powers against the people of the United States to steal their property. The US Congress refused to convene a Convention in violation of Article V of the Constitution after more than 2/3 of the state legislatures submitted applications for amendment. The full extent of the interregnum is now squarely before the people. The United States of America will not be unilaterally torn asunder through a premeditated destruction in value of the Federal Reserve Note.

Intro

Good evening, I am your host Karen Hudes in this series on the Network of Global Corporate Control. Today's show is being broadcast live from DCTV's Studio B. Thanks as always to Carmen Stanley, Studio Producer and Director; Moe Jackson, Audio and Teleprompter; and Mark Wesley, Floor Director. Today's show is on Legitimacy and the G- 20.  
​The Monetary Board Meeting:

Legitimacy

The G-20 has no legitimacy. The first thing that people writing about the G-20 agree on is that the G- 20 has no legitimacy.  Read the links below:

​
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2431164
Picture
Today we are going to look into the concept of "Legitimacy." There is a literal pot of gold,
that is the world's wealth, that is going to be distributed to the legitimate beneficiaries, and in
accordance with the instructions that were agreed when the world's wealth was deposited in
the trust for the benefit of humanity.

Before we get started, I would like to help focus the discussion by telling you about the
World's wealth, what we are talking about and how we know it is there. The inventory list
includes 1.8 million metric tonnes of gold (I've been told its a lot more), gemstones, other
precious metals, and bonds issued by the Federal Reserve that is worth more than 2
quadrillion dollars what with compounded interest that has been accruing ever since the
1930's.

Here are the minutes of the meeting that was held in the Philippines on January 3, 1949,
s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/Twitter2.4.16.2.pdf
and that were signed by Dwight Eisenhower and President Harold Truman when this wealth was
deposited in trust for humanity. 
Picture
What has legitimacy?

​Why it is the Bilateral Minesfield Breakthrough Successor Agreement, which was agreed on the 11th of August
1950 between royalty and the Network of Global Corporate Control at the end of WWII. 

The Board of Governors of the Bretton Woods Institutions administer the world's wealth; a
coalition for the Rule of Law exists on the Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF.
This coalition has placed the Network of Global Corporate Control into receivership, agreed
to the Global Currency Reset, is winding down the Network of Global Corporate Control, and
is replacing paper currencies. This coalition was predicted by the Power Transition Model
that came to the World Bank from the United States National War College in 2004. 

s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/sentia+model.pdf
The Power Transition Model predicts how coalitions will form using game theory and opinions from
Experts about the positions of stakeholders (groups that influence a problem). It is 90-95% accurate. I
am also giving you links to 2 TED talks by the political scientists who developed the model for Ronald
Tammen, then Chair of the Department of National Strategy and Professor of National Strategy at the
National War College.
​I am not saying that any of this gold should go to the bankers or to
The elites. I am (AND THE 188 MINISTERS OF FINANCE ON THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS OF THE WORLD BANK AND IMF AND THESE ARE THE ONES WHO
HAVE SAID THAT I AM EMPOWERED TO SPEAK FOR THEM ON THE GLOBAL
CURRENCY RESET AS OVERSEER MANDATE TRUSTEE) saying that this gold should go
directly into our currency and that the bonds be used to offset, that is get rid of, country debt.
Because what has been happening is that the bankers are charging everybody interests on
country debt in a big scam. WE DO NOT OWE THESE BANKERS ANYTHING. NOT A
PLUGGED NICKLE.
Picture
Thank you for listening to another segment of "The Network of Global Corporate Control."
Today's segment is about Illegitimacy. Our hearts are pretty good about warning us when something is illegitimate. Until next week, I am your host,
Karen Hudes.

Episode 51 Capitol Hill and POPE Francis

2/4/2017

Intro

​Good evening, I am your host Karen Hudes in this series on the Network of Global Corporate Control. Two days ago a fan suggested that we devote a show to the owners of the land beneath Capitol Hill. The fan sent me these early maps. The first map showed that a tributary of the Potomac River (which was named by Native Americans), was also called "Tyber Creek". The new Americans were going to have to make an effort to escape from ties to Rome: s3.amazonaws.com/khudes/dctvteleprompt8.23.16.3.pdf

Capitol Hill and POPE Francis  

​Originally called 'Goose Creek', it was renamed by settler Francis Pope. Pope owned a 400-acre (1.6 km2 ) farmstead along the banks of the creek which, in a play on his surname, he named "Rome" after the Italian city, and he renamed the creek in honor of the river which flows through that city. It was southeast of then Georgetown, Maryland, in the middle of lands that were selected for the City of Washington, the new capital of the United States. It flowed south toward the base of Capitol Hill, then meeting the Potomac near Jefferson Pier. Some of the land next to Francis Pope's farm was owned by Daniel Carroll (July 22, 1730 – July 5, 1796). Carroll was a politician as well as a member of one of the United States' great colonial Catholic families, whose members included his younger brother, Archbishop John Carroll, (1735–1815), the first Roman Catholic bishop in the United States (1790), (as Archbishop of Baltimore) and founder of Georgetown University; and their cousin Charles Carroll of Carrollton, (1737–1832), who signed the Declaration of Independence. Daniel Carroll was one of five men to sign both the "Articles of Confederation" (1778) and the United States Constitution (1787). Carroll was a planter. Carroll was born in Upper Marlboro, county seat of Prince George's County, Maryland on July 22, 1730.[ He spent his early years at his family's home, a large estate of thousands of acres which his mother, Eleanor Darnall Carroll, had inherited. Carroll was sent abroad for his education. Between 1742 and 1748 he ​studied under the Society of Jesus, ("Jesuits") at the College of St. Omer (along with his brother Bishop Carroll) in French Flanders, established for the education of English Catholics after the Protestant Reformation, instituted there by King Henry VIII. Then, after a tour of Europe, he sailed home and soon married Eleanor Carroll, apparently a first cousin of another cousin, Charles Carroll of Carrollton.
Picture
​At the time, colonial laws excluded Roman Catholics from holding public office. Once these laws were nullified by the Maryland Constitution of 1776, Carroll was elected to the Maryland State Senate of the General Assembly of Maryland (1777–1781). At the end of his term, Carroll was elected to the Confederation Congress (1781–1784), towards the end of the American Revolution. In 1781, he signed the "Articles of Confederation", which Maryland finally agreed to sign after holding up the process for several years until the larger states with western land claims beyond the Appalachian Mountains extending to the Mississippi River, ceded their claims to the new central government in Congress.

Carroll was one of three commissioners appointed to survey the newly designated District of Columbia and acquire land for the new federal capital in the District. Carroll was related to two major land owners whose land was taken by the government, his brother-in-law Notley Young and nephew Daniel Carroll of Duddington. The new United States Capitol was to be built on the wooded hill owned by his nephew. One of his first official acts as commissioners occurred on 15 April 1791 when with fellow commissioner David Stuart of Virginia, he laid the cornerstone for the beginning boundary line survey of the ten-square mile District of Columbia at Jones Point along the southern shore of the Potomac River, near the river port town of Alexandria, formerly in Virginia. Carroll served as a commissioner until 1795 when he retired because of his poor health.

He later was elected to the Maryland Senate, the upper house of the state's General Assembly. He had many interests in his state and region including the "Patowmack Company", a business enterprise intended to link the East with the expanding West by means of a Potomac River canal, a long-time hope and project of George Washington since his western explorations and military campaigns against the French. This pre-dated the surveying and construction thirty years later of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and its subsequent competition of the use of iron railroad tracks united with the steam engine and locomotive to connect over the Eastern mountains connections between the Atlantic coast and the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers interior heartland, tying the nation, with one of the largest territories then in the world.

​The French Connection

The survey plans for Washington DC were drawn up by a French Engineer named Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant (August 2, 1754 – June 14, 1825) L'Enfant was best known for designing the layout of the streets of Washington, DC. in what is known as the L'Enfant Plan. 

Early life:

L'Enfant studied art at the Royal Academy in the Louvre, as well as with his father at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. He left school in France to enlist in the American Revolutionary War on the side of the rebelling colonials.

Military service:

L'Enfant arrived in the colonies in 1777 at the age of 23, and served as a military engineer in the Continental Army with Major General Lafayette. He was commissioned as a captain in the Corps of Engineers in 1779. L'Enfant served on General George Washington's staff at Valley Forge. While there, the Marquis de Lafayette commissioned L'Enfant to paint a portrait of Washington. L'Enfante was wounded at the Siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779. He recovered and became a prisoner of war at surrender of Charleston, South Carolina on May 12, 1780. He was exchanged in November 1780 and served on General George Washington's staff for the remainder of the Revolutionary War. L'Enfant was discharged when the Continental Army was disbanded in December 1783. After the war, L'Enfant designed the badge of the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization of former officers of the Continental Army, shaped as an eagle, at the request of Washington. He was sent to France to have insignias made for members of the Society, a group of veterans of the war.

Architect and planner Post–Revolutionary war:

Following the American Revolutionary War, L'Enfant established a successful and highly profitable civil engineering firm in New York. He achieved some fame as an architect by redesigning the City Hall in New York for the First Congress Federal Hall. He also designed coins, medals, furniture and houses of the wealthy, and he was a friend of Alexander Hamilton. . While L'Enfant was in New York City, he was initiated into Freemasonry. The new Consitution of the United State, which took effect in March and April 1789, gave the newly organized Congress of the United States authority to establish a federal district up to ten miles square in size. L'Enfant had already written to first President George Washington, asking to be commissioned to plan the city, but a decision on the capital was put on hold until July 1790 when the First Congress passed the "Residence Act", setting the site of the new federal district and national capital to be on the shores of the Potomac River. We have already seen how the federal district has been used by unscrupulous lawyers to try and undermine the Constitution of 1789 and the separation of powers. 
Picture

​Washington DC's stinky past 

​The idea was that the creek could be widened and channeled into a canal to the Potomac. By 1815 the western portion of the creek became part of the Washington City Canal, running along what is now Constitution Avenue. By the 1870s, however, because Washington had no separate storm drain and sewer system, the Washington City Canal was notoriously stinky. It had become an open sewer. When Alexander "Boss" Shepherd joined the Board of Public Works in 1871, he and the Board engaged in a massive, albeit uneven, series of infrastructure improvements, including grading and paving streets, planting trees, installing sewers and laying out parks. One of these projects was to enclose Tiber Creek/Washington City Canal. A German immigrant engineer named Adolf Cluss, also on the Board, is credited with constructing a tunnel from Capitol Hill to the Potomac "wide enough for a bus to drive through to put Tiber Creek underground." Many of the buildings on the north side of Constitution Avenue apparently are built on top of the creek, including the Internal Revenue Service Building, part of which is built on wooden piers sunk into the wet ground along the creek course. The low-lying topography there contributed to the flooding of the National Archives Building that forced their temporary closure beginning in late June 2006.  

In ​fact, until the mid-1990s, that part of Washington around the intersection of 14th Street and Constitution Avenue was an open parking lot because the underground water was too difficult to deal with. During construction of the Ronald Reagan Building (1990–98), the engineers figured out how to divert the water. But that dewatering then reduced the water level underneath the IRS building which caused the wooden piers to lose stability and part of the IRS building foundation to sink. A pub near Tiber Creek's historic course north of Capitol Hill was named after it. The Bistro Bis restaurant now occupies the Tiber Creek Pub's former location. A lock keeper's house from the Washington branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal remains at the southwest corner of Constitution Avenue and 17th Street, NW, near the former mouth of Tiber Creek, and the western end of the Washington City Canal. So you can see how stinky Washington on the Potomac became part of the David Carroll real estate deal, through family connections and George Washington's inside dealings.

​L'Enfant's plan

The U.S. Library of Congress now holds both the plan that Washington apparently gave to the Commissioners and an undated anonymous survey map that the Library considers L'Enfant to have drawn before August 19, 1791. The survey map may be one that L'Enfant appended to his August 19 letter to the President.

​L'Enfant's "Plan of the city intended for the permanent seat of the government of the United States..." encompassed an area bounded by the Potomac River, the Eastern Branch, the base of the escarpment of the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line, and Rock Creek. His plan specified locations for the "Congress house" (the Capitol), which would be built on Jenkins Hill, and the "President's house" (the White House), which would be situated on a ridge parallel to the Potomac River. L'Enfant envisioned the President's house to have public gardens and monumental architecture. Reflecting his grandiose visions, he specified that the President's house would be five times the size of the building that was actually constructed. Emphasizing the importance of the new nation's legislature, the Congress house would be located on a longitude designated as 0,0° (L'Enfant's plan contained the following explanatory note:

"In order to execute the above plan, Mr. Ellicott drew a true meridian line by celestial observation, which passes through the area intended for the Congress-House; this line he crossed by another line due east and west and which passes through the same area. These lines were accurately measured, and made the basis on which the whole plan was executed. He ran all the lines by a transit instrument, and determined the acute angles by actual measurement, and left nothing to the uncertainty of the compass. "

The plan specified that most streets would be laid out in a grid. To form the grid, some streets would travel in an east-west direction, while others would travel in a north-south direction. Diagonal avenues later named after the states of the union crossed the grid.The diagonal avenues intersected with the north-south and east-west streets at circles and rectangular plazas that would later honor notable Americans and provide open space.

L'Enfant laid out a 400 foot (122m)-wide garden-lined "grand avenue," which he expected to travel for about 1 mile (1.6 km) along an east-west axis in the center of an area that would later become the National Mall. He also laid out a narrower avenue (Pennsylvania Avenue,) which would connect the Congress house with the President's house. In time, Pennsylvania Avenue developed into the capital city's present "grand avenue." L'Enfant's plan additionally laid out a system of canals (later designated as the Washington City Canal) that would pass the Congress house and the President's house. One branch of the canal would empty into the Potomac River south of the "President's house" at the mouth of Tiber Creek, which would be channelized and straightened. 

L'Enfant secured the lease of quarries at Wigginton Island and along Aquia Creek in Virginia to supply stone for the foundation of the Congress house in November 1791. However, his temperament and his insistence that his city design be realized as a whole, brought him into conflict with the Commissioners, who wanted to direct the limited funds available into construction of the federal buildings. In this, they had the support of Thomas Jefferson.

During a contentious period in February 1792, Andrew Ellicott, (who had been conducting the original boundary survey of the future District of Columbia) and the survey of the federal city under the direction of the Commissioners, informed the Commissioners that L'Enfant had not been able to have the city plan engraved and had refused to provide him with the original plan (of which L'Enfant had prepared several versions). Ellicott, with the aid of his brother, Benjamin ​Ellicott, then revised the plan, despite L'Enfant's protests. Some of Ellicott's revisions, such as the straightening of the longer avenues, created minor changes to the city's layout, including the removal of Square No. 15 from L'Enfant's original plan. Shortly thereafter, Washington dismissed L'Enfant. After L'Enfant departed, Andrew Ellicott continued the city survey in accordance with the revised plan, several versions of which were engraved, published and distributed. As a result, Ellicott's revisions subsequently became the basis for the capital city's development.
