Bankers Form SuperPac for 'Surgical' Strike at Industry's Enemies

Frustrated by a lack of political power and fed up with blindly donating to politicians who consistently vote against the industry's interests, a handful of leaders are determined to shake things up.

They have formed the industry's first SuperPAC — dubbed Friends of Traditional Banking — that is designed to target the industry's enemies and support its friends in Congress.

"It comes back to the old philosophy of walking softly and carrying a big stick," says Howard Headlee, the president and chief executive officer of the Utah Bankers Association. "But we've got no big stick. And we should. We have the capacity to have one, we just aren't organized."

Think of it as an Emily's List for bankers and their allies.

"Congress isn't afraid of bankers," adds Roger Beverage, the president and CEO of the Oklahoma Bankers Association. "They don't think we'll do anything to kick them out of office. We are trying to change that perception."

1. World War III ...The first private war in history

Those who won all battles shall lose the war.

Bilderberg Group and the crimes against humanity.

A disastrous war has taken place and no one managed to stay out of the consequences of this terrible war. Some “invaders” using sly methods “bombarded” our factories and destroyed the current generation of workers by “sinking” it into unemployment. The same people using the same sly methods have managed to “embezzle” as well the savings of the previous generations of workers. Today, in the Western world, pensioners literally face a completely uncertain future. Their insurance funds have dried up completely. They can give pensions for a few more months. Then hunger comes. Real hunger. If we think that three million citizens in the supposedly unique "super-power" of the world already live on rations, we could imagine what the conditions in the other countries are.

The whole planet is completely flattened. There is an absolute and unseen homogeneity for all the human kind. This is the First World War in history that put everyone on the same level; Rich and poor; Developed and underdeveloped countries. Western world has no factories and huge social destruction. Its active generation is unemployed and its pensioners have no insurance and pensioning coverage. The rest of the world simply lives at the lowest limits of pauperization. The world has sunk in a new Middle Age with the countries being over-indebted, corrupted and “infectious” in the whole range of their activities. Flattened countries that sell off whatever is left with any value. As they are engaged to settle huge obligations due to colonial loans, they are “crawling” to unbelievable sales. Everyone is hostage to specific centers of financial power.

As we can see, the war has come to an end. It has come to the end, not because those who caused it have come to their senses, but because there is nothing left for them to grab or destroy. Whatever standing, fell down and whatever operating, just stopped. The ultimate destruction. This is a destruction which apart from everything else threatens to pollute natural environment as well. The human kind is now engaged to give a battle for survival, without knowing what would be the consequences of such a battle at this specific time. No one knows if the knowledge to bring the situation back to normal exists or the chaos of self-preservation dominates and therefore we will be destructed completely.

Since we are on a war causing such destruction, some things are obvious. There was an “invisible” war; therefore those who caused and conducted it would also be “invisible”. These “invisible” men we have to find and accuse. We should detect them and condemn them as criminals against humanity. Therefore, we should start from the basics. Who were they who had the power to cause this “World War” and who were they who conducted it? What were their actions against humanity?
