World Bank Whistleblower Karen Hudes Reveals How The Global Elite Rule The World
The Economic Collapse Blog ^ | September 30th, 2013 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 10/02/2013 11:47:54 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

Karen Hudes is a graduate of Yale Law School and she worked in the legal department of the World Bank for more than 20 years. In fact, when she was fired for blowing the whistle on corruption inside the World Bank, she held the position of Senior Counsel. She was in a unique position to see exactly how the global elite rule the world, and the information that she is now revealing to the public is absolutely stunning. According to Hudes, the elite use a very tight core of financial institutions and mega-corporations to dominate the planet. The goal is control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works.

Remember, this is not some "conspiracy theorist" that is saying these things. This is a Yale-educated attorney that worked inside the World Bank for more than two decades. The following summary of her credentials comes directly from her website...

Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association.

Today, Hudes is trying very hard to expose the corrupt financial system that the global elite are using to control the wealth of the world. During an interview with the New American, she discussed how we are willingly allowing this group of elitists to totally dominate the resources of the planet...

A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.

Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”

Previously, I have written about the Swiss study that Hudes mentioned. It was conducted by a team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. They studied the relationships between 37 million companies and investors worldwide, and what they discovered is that there is a "super-entity" of just 147 very tightly knit mega-corporations that controls 40 percent of the entire global economy...

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a "super-entity" of 147 even more tightly knit companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. "In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network," says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.

But the global elite don't just control these mega-corporations. According to Hudes, they also dominate the unelected, unaccountable organizations that control the finances of virtually every nation on the face of the planet. The World Bank, the IMF and central banks such as the Federal Reserve literally control the creation and the flow of money worldwide.

At the apex of this system is the Bank for International Settlements. It is the central bank of central banks, and posted below is a video where you can watch Hudes tell Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com the following...

"We don’t have to wait for anybody to fire the Fed or Bank for International Settlements . . . some states have already started to recognize silver and gold, the precious metals, as currency"

Most people have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is an extremely important organization. In a previous article, I described how this "central bank of the world" is literally immune to the laws of all national governments...

An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe. It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks. It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City. It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws. Even Wikipedia admits that "it is not accountable to any single national government." The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system. Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does. Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another "Global Economy Meeting". During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on. The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system.

This system did not come into being by accident. In fact, the global elite have been developing this system for a very long time. In a previous article entitled "Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings", I included a quote from Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley from a book that he authored all the way back in 1966 in which he discussed the big plans that the elite had for the Bank for International Settlements...

[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.

And that is exactly what we have today.

We have a system of "neo-feudalism" in which all of us and our national governments are enslaved to debt. This system is governed by the central banks and by the Bank for International Settlements, and it systematically transfers the wealth of the world out of our hands and into the hands of the global elite.

But most people have no idea that any of this is happening because the global elite also control what we see, hear and think about. Today, there are just six giant media corporations that control more than 90 percent of the news and entertainment that you watch on your television in the United States.

This is the insidious system that Karen Hudes is seeking to expose. For much more, you can listen to Joyce Riley of the Power Hour interview her for an entire hour right here.

OK, thanks.

So Karen is one of Obozo and his handlers useful idiots? I have a hard time weighing how smart she really is. But if she supported Obozo, he must be really stupid or evil.

I can't figure it all out....but how do you explain Putin?....

I would recommend some web searching on Wall Street financially backing the Russian Revolution. You'll find some rather solid evidence of this to consider. Certainly any backing at all of a communist rebellion by financial elites, if true, would necessarily mean that communism is then a front for those financial elites. This runs quite contradictory, of course, to the history taught in US schools.

how do you explain the fanatical muslims and their beheading ways?.....

One has to understand first that rebellion, terror and war are some of the basic tools that international finance has used for centuries. Just think back to the Spanish Empire, the British Empire. The building and operation of their navies required financing. The wealthy elites who were the leaders of banking at those times were the ones who arranged for this financing. The financier cares greatly about who wins and who loses wars then. Because they stand to lose or earn a lot based on the outcome. Being smart, they know that they can profit tremendously by manipulating nations into wars that are planned from the outset. They also know that their participation in the fields of espionage and diplomacy is essential, so they make sure they have operatives well-placed throughout them.

Rebellion and terror are simply ingredients that can be used to bring about military buildups (needing financing) and war (also needing financing) and the consequent rebuilding (also needing financing). Not only that, the outcome of war often results in nations being split up or joined together, offering opportunities to gain greater influence in governments or get rid of governments that are uncooperative.

If you research enough, you'll start finding accounts here and there of muslim fanaticism being linked to the intelligence services. Of course the sheeple, be they Muslim, Christian, Jew, or any religion, have no idea what the intelligence services are doing.

I can believe what you said. I posted the article based on the text. Until I watched the video interview the problem did not come out.

Thanks for the perspective.

OK, regardless of her credentials, she is a nutcase.

I did not get that from the text, but the video did reveal that side. Was she actually involved? Probably.

But there is NO WAY that Obozo is on of the good guys.

Thanks for your perspective.

What I think is unimportant. I have no credibility.

That said, take a look at the Wikipedia entry on the “Bank of International Settlements” and at the bottom you’ll see that Ben Bernanke sits on the Board of Directors. Frankly, its my opinion that while she’s correct that there’s a cabal of awesome wealthy people and institutions that ultimately control most everything, my guess is that this “Bank” is really nothing more than a clearing house operation for money laundering. Its a mechanism for the elites to secretly fund their Black Ops programs.

My research would surprise anyone, but it indicates that the “core” of the elites are, indeed, the Rothschilds, the Duponts, the Ford’s and Morgans and the Rockefellers, several wealthy German and Austrian banking families. But what gets really interesting is the actual “command and control” operation. For example, when you look at the attendee list of the Bildeberger conferences you’ll note the names of a lot of people who sit on the Boards of smaller banks. When I saw that list, I searched on them and discovered that while they were the usual boring type people you would expect, they are married to people like the Savoy family, the Bourbon family, the Hapsburgs, the Saxe-Coburg family, descendants of the Medici family, and of course, the House of Windsor along with the Saudi and Jordanian royal families.

And that somewhat explains a whole lot about the question about Putin..........I’ve never uncovered any mention of the Romanov’s or other prominent Russian royalty connected to anything having to do with the Bildeberger’s. Meaning, Putin and Russia itself, is out of the loop of wealth and power elites. I gotta believe that really, really hurts Putin to the core and it explains a lot about the continued animous on part of the Russians toward the West. They aren’t part of the club. More damning for the Russians is that descendants of both the former Romainian and Bulgarian, (the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Family and the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, respectively) are connected through their banking and real estate connections and their connection to the Spanish Royal family, (House of Bourbon).

I could go on but suffice it to say that the U.S. basically bought its way into the “elites” by virtue of the Morgans connections to the Rothcilds and the replacement of the British pound with the U.S. Dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Personally, I have nothing against the Rothchilds. We wouldn’t have a Suez Canal without them. :-)

But have you an understanding of accounting, i.e., balance sheet, debt versus equity, etc. ?

If so, have you researched or given serious thought to central banking that we have in the West, i.e., it's origins, the people involved, etc. ?

Food for thought...

If the US Treasury simply created the dollars it needed to fund the federal deficit every year - it would spend the same amount into the economy - but then the Treasury, i.e., the taxpayer, would not owe the accumulated deficit plus interest.

That is to say, if the Treasury can create its own dollars - why in the world would it borrow dollars at interest ?

I loved the Chips movie.

I’m skeptical of anyone attacking the Federal Reserve.

And even if there really is 147 corporations that control 40% of the economy, that doesn’t mean that those 147 corporations are somehow cooperating for nefarious ends or even to influence elections.

A finger print or eye scanner might have been interpreted as something “marking” or reading the mark on the person’s hand or forehead, especially to someone with no knowledge of fingerprints or retinas.

And is that what they are doing? Reading the individual’s unique markings.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

The only way for evil to prevail is for good men to stand by and do nothing.

Haven’t read anything before about the specific persons but if what you say is creditable it just goes to show what many people believe i.e. that Obama is just a shill for the world wealth hoarders. The Arab Muslim nations led by the Saudis control the very critical production/product of oil and the bankers of Europe led by the Rothchilds control the means of exchange i.e. money which is dollars or other printable currency. I still believe Pres. Kennedy was assassinated because he dared to think and act that the USA had Constitutional authority to print It’s own money and not be under the power of the world cabal with it’s phony Federal Reserve.

Agree with the skepticism.

What drew my interest is my puzzlement about the earthly power that put Obozo in office. He has no real past, no accomplishment, no attachment to the US. All 3 branches of government know he is a total Fraud, how can no one pretend to oppose him? It makes no sense.

Are all the Congress & Judiciary bought off? Blackmailed? Threatened? Compromised?

It is clear from Obozo’s actions that he serves foreign masters.

The question? Who?

What group?

This is bigger than the Builder Burgers, the global bankers, the Muzzie Oil Interest, the Commies, the Dictators. All of them combined? In what fashion.

When I read the print portion of the article, I thought this might explain it. Until I watched the video and herd her blame the Vatican Bank (I'm not Catholic, but that is nonsense). Then it was the Rothchilds, etc. And then she said good things about Obozo. None of this was in the print portion. The video clearly showed how nutty she is.

Nothing she could say would ever give me the slightest reason to make excuses for the Liar in Chief. Zero credibility now.

Now, is there anything to be learned from what she said? Possibly. If she in fact worked in international banking and/or the BIS or IMF for 20 years and this is her mindset, how truly insane are those that are still there. How utterly out of touch with reality.

But think about it, Obozo is totally an illusion. Nothing connected with reality touches him.

God Help US.

You said one thing in that which I had not read or thought about. The fact that Russia & Putin were “not in the club”. And by association it might explain the treatment of the Serbs under the Clinton era US Gov. That never made any sense at the time.

But Russia & the ChiComs are a potent financial force globally. Russia not so much in manufacturing, except weapons, but in oil and gas to Europe. Of course the ChiComs are huge manufacturing exporters and huge industrial espionage operators.

When people “blame the Jews” the red flags go up. I am certainly pro Israel. Nothing will change that.
