Take the ludicrous bauble that prompted this article. It appeared in no less a distinguished place than the front page of The New York Times on the Web: "Bathroom Dispute Halts Chess Championship."<br><br>We could have gone with that. No doubt about it.<br><br>But we prefer to see the everyday zaniness through our own eyes, so we did a bit of a redo.<br><br>If case you missed the debacle, the world chess championship was halted when a player, Russia's Vladimir Kramnik, was locked out of his private bathroom because of inferences that he was going there too often and cheating while there. Expectedly enough, the bathrooms were part of the private areas of both players that were not under video surveillance.<br><br>In a rage over what he perceived as an insult to his personal dignity, Kramnik forfeited the fifth game of the match. <br><br>The day before, his opponent's team had filed a written protest to the World Chess Federation on behalf of Bulgaria's Veselin Topalov about Kramnik's frequent bathroom breaks. <br><br>The Federation responded by locking the private bathrooms of both players and informing them they should use the same bathroom for the remainder of the match.<br><br>Going on strike at the start of the next game, Mr. Kramnik left for his private area and took a seat outside of his privy, demanding it be unlocked. When the organizers refused, he did not resume his participation, and the game was forfeited to Topalov. He was ahead in the match 3-1, with 6.5 points needed to win.<br><br>Demanding that his bathroom be reopened, Kramnik said, "My dignity does not allow me to stand this situation."<br><br>Mr. Kramnik's manager fired off a letter demanding that the committee be replaced and the decision to lock the players out of their private bathrooms be reversed. He declared that his client's frequent trips to the bathroom were due to the fact that he drinks a lot of water during the games and likes to pace. Since the private rest area is too small for his perambulations, he also "uses the space of the bathroom as well."<br><br>The letter said that Mr. Kramnik would not continue unless the federation was "ready to respect Mr. Kramnik's rights, in this case, to use the toilet of his own restroom whenever he wishes to do so."<br><br>Meanwhile, Topalov's manager shot off his own missive, maintaining that the players should be accompanied to the bathroom by a match referee, since the new ruling would permit Kramnik "to visit the new bathroom an unlimited number of times without being subject to further control." He added that if the match goes on, his client "would refrain from shaking hands with Mr. Kramnik before the games and would not take part in joint press-conferences with him."<br><br>Play, we assume, eventually resumed. But, as far as the prestige of the match goes, the handle had already been pressed. <br><br>Tom Attea, humorist and creator of <a href="http://NewsLaugh.com">http://NewsLaugh.com</a>, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway. Critics have called his writing for the theater "delightfully funny," "witty," with "great humor" and "good, genuine laughs."

The minister said progress had to be made on the government's immigration reforms before the controls are lifted at all. He added that the transitional impacts of the last round of accession, when Poland and seven other eastern European states joined the EU, still needed to be understood.<br><br>'Through this measured response to accession we will ensure that migration is, and continues to be, managed in the best interests of the country as a whole,' he said. <br><br>The Home Office added: 'These new arrangements will be reviewed within 12 months and the Government?s proposed new Migration Advisory committe will assist in this process taking account of the needs of our labour market, the impact of the A8 accession and the positions adopted by other EU countries.'<br><br>The news came shortly after the Home Office announced the closure of the Food Manufactiring (General) quota of the doomed Sector Based Scheme. The combination of these two announcements effectively marks the beginning of the end for low skilled migration from outside the EU. Low skilled, agricultural and food manufacturing jobs are expected to be filled by workers for Eastern Europe.<br><br>The last minute announcement is reminiscent of the ?knee jerk? reaction to public disquiet in 2004 when the UK opened its doors to the new European nations. At that time the Home Office hurriedly introduced the ?Workers Registration Scheme? weeks before the A8 joining date on 1st May 2004. Charles Clarke, the then Home Secretary, estimated that around 13000 Eastern Europeans would make their way to the UK. Since then over 600,000 have come to the UK and thousands more arrive each week.<br><br>These latest proposals are hardly watertight and on first sight would appear to have more holes that a block of Swiss cheese. First of all Bulgarian and Romanian citizens will have the right to come here. Secondly, there is no restriction on self employment.

Panama is an excellent place for a second passport (2nd passport). The plans are outlined below. Do feel free to ask questions. We do not advise attempting to deal with the immigration authorities without adequate legal representation by a competent attorney.<br><br>Warning: All of our passport programs require you to be physically present at the immigration department for fingerprinting and photographing. These are NOT the ?Pay someone off in the dark? programs you see on the internet which do not require you to go to the country physically and come with a passport, identity card and driver?s license. There are numerous stories on the internet if you look for them of people getting arrested all over the world when they attempt to travel on these passports. What is often done is passport blanks that come back from the manufacturer slightly defective (bad printing, stitching etc.) are marked as not usable by the government and are then sold by unscrupulous immigration officials through third parties. The problem is when the country that issued those does an audit of their immigration department they pick these things up and then the passports are flagged as fraudulent or stolen and this is sitting in some unfortunate person?s wallet waiting to be used and can cause a police detention with likely arrest to follow. There was just a raid recently in Guyana and the corrupt immigration officials there were issuing hundreds of passports daily. Now along comes some guy who bought one of these ?officially issued? passports and he goes through immigration in say the EU. Well he doesn't appear to be a Guyana type so they query around a bit and he gets arrested. Months after the scandal we still see Guyana Passports being sold on the internet which makes one wonder.<br><br>We even see Diplomatic passports being sold on the internet for $50,000 and up. This is ridiculous. What the buyers are not aware of is in almost all countries travel using a Diplomatic passport requires a visa so the country you intend to visit will require you to physically submit the diplomatic passport to their embassy for a visa which will involve scrutiny. So when they contact the diplomatic passport issuing government to verify the purpose of your visit, duration, whether or not you will be attached to the embassy, etc. what do you think is going to happen? Do you think the issuing government is going to provide official documentation for all of your journeys? Do you think they will even know who you are? They will most likely remain non responsive and your passport will probably never be returned as a best case scenario but this would most likely be followed by a knock at the door shake you up or arrest you visit by some authorities depending on where you live, admittedly some countries will not care what you did but others that are terrorist sensitive will get really interested in you and your whole life and you should expect to be added into the watch/stop list making airport travel a nightmare for the next ten or twenty years. The government that issued this diplomatic passport may also contact you after they get contacted for a $10,000 bribe or they will make trouble for you and on it goes. Remember why do you see Nigerian Scam Emails ? because they work. There are a lot of stupid people out there so don?t be one of them.<br><br>How can you tell if a second passport or residency/citizenship program is real?<br><br>Be careful when buying a second passport (2nd passport). First thing to look for is the statues in the law that contain the laws spelling out the program you are considering. If there are no statues run the other way. If you are told about a special program not for everyone, run.<br><br>Next make sure when buying a second passport (2nd passport) you will be going physically to the immigration department in the country for processing, photographs and fingerprints. This will greatly cut down the odds of a scam. Normally the country will want to know who you are, and like to see and copy a valid passport as a minimum. If the deal is you give them pictures and they send you the documents run away, this is probably a scam involving a counterfeit passport blank or a stolen one. I have even heard of them applying for passports in the name of a dead person using your picture. What if he was a dead criminal with warrants outstanding?<br><br>When buying a second passport (2nd passport) never agree to get a name change and a second passport all in one shot unless it involves court appearances for the name change. If not this probably involves a corrupt government official and will surely be trouble. If you do a name change in court in some jurisdiction make sure it is not public record or it is greatly diminished in value. Never carry two different passports with your picture in both that have different names unless you enjoy being detained at airports, border crossings etc. A lot of scams involve a story that goes like this; Ok Mr. Gringo you want the passport to be able to travel and open bank accounts and not as a citizen of the USA, EU, Canada etc. Ok well it is best to do so using a name that sounds like someone's name in our country, here let me suggest this name: Enrique Haeverra. Hey that sounds great you say. Now what you don't know is they got Enrique's name off of a tombstone and they are going to identity theft the dead guy for you. This will probably blow up when a cross reference is made or something causes a record check like you trying to enter the country some day and then you are in for it. Remember you don't talk, look, act or have a story like someone from their country should. Some jerk criminal buys such a passport and then gets caught doing something no regular person would do like money laundering 25 million dollars and then they pull his papers, scrutinize them, see the fraud and the pull all the fraud papers of the corrupt official who signed the bad guys papers and then start canceling all the passports this corrupt official processed illegally for fraud, theft, corruption or just to shake you down for money for playing games with their country and of course you better believe they are going to think you are a millionaire.<br><br>Another scam is selling second passports (2nd passport) from non-existent or non-recognized countries. This is done a lot usually for $1000-$2000. There are very few countries who will ever accept these passports and then usually only at border crossings. Usage is hit or miss, mostly misses. People buy these to open bank accounts with offshore. This sometimes works but usually in small countries with small banks. The problem comes when the bank examiner looks over their files and sees one of the fantasia passports as an identity document. He hits the roof and says I want to see real passports for all these people in here in 30 days or lock down these accounts. Now what do you do?<br><br>Below you can read about all the Panama Passport, Residency and Citizenship programs that are all in the Panama Laws.<br><br>Immediate Panama Passport<br><br>This program allows foreigners to obtain immediate Panamanian Passport (there is no citizenship that goes with this) under the condition that they make a 5 year certificate of deposit (CD), at the Banco Nacional de Panama (Panama's Government Bank), which earns a minimum of US $750 per month in interest income which currently requires about $175,000 to be deposited. This is a relatively simple, direct program. A visit to Panama is required. One must already have a valid passport that enables them to come into Panama. Getting your Passport in 30 days from time of completion of all required documentation is possible but time frames vary according to workload, holidays etc. The visa and passport is renewable every five years, which requires the CD to be renewed.<br><br>Ronald Edwards is a researcher, with years of experience in finances and real estate.

I have complied a list of things that I plan to educate her on before she heads out on her own. <br><br>After Megan completed driver?s education and wanted to begin driving a car I asked her to check the oil, and the air pressure in the tires as this is necessary to operating a car. Megan had no idea how to do either. She now knows how to do the basics she can check her own oil and the air pressure in her tires she also knows how to add washer fluid, how to take her car for an oil change and other basic maintenance problems. Megan can also check and add if necessary brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid. These simple basic steps are important to keeping your car safe and operating properly.<br><br>I was very surprised on evening when Megan came to me with a pile of clothes which had to be washed for the next day. I told her to wash them herself Megan replied ?I do not know how to run the washer? I was stunned that she did not know how. After this she was put in charge of laundry for a month. This month was followed by a month of cooking a balanced dinner this included shopping for the groceries. This taught her how to buy food on a budget, check fliers for specials and above all she learned how to operate kitchen appliances.<br> <br>When Megan turned 16 and got her first job we took her to the bank and opened her a checking account complete with a ATM card. We also got her a credit card with a very low limit these were monitored very closely at first and we taught her how to use a credit card responsibly not a loan but as a convenience, no purchases were to be put on the credit card that she could not pay for when the credit card statement came. This was a good place to explain interest, how to set some money aside for retirement and how pay herself first. <br><br>I spent some time with Megan going over basic things that any home owner or even a renter should know about their home such as where the circuit breakers are located, how to reset a GFI plug, how to put out a grease fire, hang pictures and the use of basic hand tools that everyone should have an know how to use.<br><br>Our hope is that Megan will have a solid understanding of what is required of her in the real world she may never have to change a tire or hang a picture but she knows how to do.<br><br>Jake Plumer writes articles for <a href="http://www.pegandrail.com">http://www.pegandrail.com</a>.

By planning ahead and shopping online, you will be on your way to having your Christmas shopping done!<br><br>Is it already Christmas again? It seems to sneak up on me every single year. The leaves start falling and soon the Christmas aisles are full and you hear Christmas carols piped through all of the stores. Christmas time is one of my favorite holidays, simply becaue it is a time for my family to gather together. Eating all of those wonderful sweets and foods just raises my spirit. One thing that does not thrill my soul, however, is Christmas gifts shopping. What new things will my children want this year? My children are alreay checking out all of the commercials on television and making their lists.<br><br>What Christmas gifts have your children been dreaming about? Have you checked out the hottest new toys? How do you choose which gift your child will really like when they are constantly changing their minds and their lists? This is one of those difficult questions that parents face. If you can determine what your child will enjoy before the Christmas rush, however, you will find that your Christmas gifts shopping will become much less stressful. The new, hot toys are most likely going to sell out before Christmas even gets here so that is why you need to know what your child likes so that you can buy it as soon as it comes out. Children usually get their hearts set on one or two specific toys and being aware of what they want in advance will allow you to buy early. This also helps to cut down on disappoinment. October is a great time to start that shopping because most people are concerned with Halloween at this point and have not even started thinking about Christmas.<br><br>If, however, you still are unsure of what toys should should buy for your children's Christmas gifts, you can look online. Searching on Google.com for a specific toy is the simplest and easiest way to find that Christmas gift that you are looking for. Your search results will most likely include Amazon.com. They usually have anything and everything that you want and need. All you do is click and pay. How easy is that? Christmas gifts without the stress of the mall!

Something that can save you a lot of money or get a claim paid? Forget the usual tips. Check out these secrets.<br><br>1. Demand the legal policy minimums if you have no assets. Do you really need a lot of liability coverage if you have no money in the bank? Insurance companies will tell you that you do because you can be sued regardless. It's possible. I can't promise you that you won't be sued and end up paying a chunk of your paycheck to someone for life.<br><br>However, honest insurance salesmen admit that people without assets are rarely sued. Lawyers work on a commission in these cases, and won't take a case where there is no money to be collected. In fact, having a bigger liability policy can be an invitation to sue, and it won't protect you from personal liability, because they always sue for more than the policy limit anyhow.<br><br>If you have no assets to protect, why buy auto insurance? Because it is a legal requirement. In that case why not just buy the minimum coverage required? But be careful. My own insurance guy lied for years, claiming I had just that, when in fact I was paying for "company-recommended minimums." You might have to push the point, and may even have to sign something saying you understand how risky it is to be "under-insured."<br><br>2. Claim diminished value. If you have a collision policy, your insurance company will pay for the repairs after an accident. However, is the financial damage really fixed? Not necessarily. A car that has been in an accident and had the body fixed may look the same, but it won't sell for the same price. Would you pay the same for a car that has been in an accident? <br><br>A car that has been in an accident might be worth $2,000 less than a similar un-damaged car. This is called "diminished value," and may be covered by your policy. However, diminished value is often not paid unless you push the point. Get a car dealer to do an estimate of the diminished value if necessary, and present this to the insurance company. You pay for insurance to have your losses covered, and they aren't covered if you aren't paid for this.<br><br>3. Lower your premiums by removing kids from the policy. You may have already discovered that you pay a lot for insurance as long as you have driving-age children at home. Even if they are off at school, if their legal residence is your house, you pay more.<br><br>However, there is a little-known exception to this rule. If your children are at a college that's more than 100 miles away, you can have them taken off the insurance policy. This can dramatically reduce your premiums. The catch? They are excluded drivers, so you can't let them drive the car when they come home to visit.<br><br>These are just a few examples of the auto insurance secrets that insurance companies probably don't want you to know. <br><br>Copyright Steve Gillman.

If you are planning a home improvement project, it's important to look at ways to incorporate energy efficient changes as well as merely cosmetic ones. The money you invest today can quickly pay for itself with savings on monthly utility costs, and on your mortgage as well.<br><br>Of course, it takes money to save money, and energy efficient home improvements do require a certain amount of cash outlay. Even if you don't have the budget on hand, there are options available to you. If you are planning on renewing or refinancing your mortgage, talk to your bank about borrowing a little extra to invest in making your home more energy wise. Energy efficient home improvements will immediately lower your monthly energy bills, and the interest on home equity loans and home mortgages is usually tax deductible.<br><br>Energy Efficient Mortgages<br><br>Another good option is to consider an Energy Efficient Mortgage. Owning a car involves real costs like maintenance and operating expenses; the same holds true for a home. Rising utility expenses must be factored into the costs of owning a home. An Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) can increase your comfort and save you money whether you are buying, selling, refinancing or remodeling your home. These plans can be applied to most home mortgages, and provide special benefits to borrowers who are buying energy efficient homes or are planning to install energy efficient improvements. Homeowners with lower utility bills have more money in their pocket at the end of each month, and are able to allocate a larger portion of their income to housing expenses.<br><br>There are many benefits to financing your energy efficient home improvements through an EEM:<br><br>* Qualifying for a larger loan amount allows you to purchase a better, more energy efficient home.<br>* You can finance your cost-effective energy saving measures as part of your mortgage.<br>* Older homes can be improved and updated to become more comfortable and efficient<br>* Stretch your debt-to-income qualifying ratio with a loan for energy-efficient homes.<br>* Increase your overall buying power.<br><br>Other Financing Options<br><br>Many utility providers and energy-related businesses are now offering loans and incentives for property owners to install energy efficient heating and air conditioning systems, insulation, windows and other energy efficiency improvements.<br><br>Further, utility companies are beginning to offer a range of improvements to help customers enjoy greater efficiency. In the United States, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) offers a list of member company programs that offer efficiency services to homeowners, businesses and industrial plants.<br><br>More energy efficient services and ideas are available a number of websites, including the National Energy Affordability and Accessibility Project (NEAPP) site.<br><br>If you're thinking of renovating, make energy efficient home improvements your first priority. Your monthly savings will quickly make up for the initial building costs, and you'll be helping to preserve our priceless energy resources.<br><br>Barbara Williams writes for several online magazines, including <a href="http://tyrid.com">http://tyrid.com</a> and <a href="http://zyod.com">http://zyod.com</a>

Is your homework done? Have you studied the market, talked to potential customers and assessed their needs?<br><br>Our advice is never to do things by halves. Before you get around to selling your product, make sure you do some market research. <br><br>Market Research is a systematic collection and analysis of data about a particular market, competition and environment. There are two main types of market research; one is Primary Research and the other is Secondary Research.<br><br>Let?s discuss each of these. <br><br>1. Primary Research: If you want to know the ground reality, then primary research is the key. This process involves designing a research plan, collecting data or information first hand and analyzing results. This method is often a very expensive affair as it involves a great deal of work and is time consuming. The upside is that since the data is straight from the horse?s mouth, it?ll probably present a reasonably accurate picture.<br><br>Primary research is further classified into quantitative and qualitative types.<br><br>a) Quantitative Research: This type of research involves evaluation of the information by using statistical techniques. Results from a small sample may be used to determine characteristics of large groups. For example, a survey of a certain number of bank account holders to find out what they think of internet banking might provide insight that can be generalized across a wider audience.<br><br>Quantitative research comes in many forms and the following are the most popular. <br><br>? Surveys: This method captures information for you by way of responses to a research tool, such as a questionnaire. The main methods for conducting surveys are mail, phone, online or in person. Online surveys in particular, are catching on due to the several advantages they offer. <br><br>Additional delivery options include wireless devices, such as PDAs and cell phones.<br><br>? Tracking: This helps to monitor the behavior of customers as they engage in regular purchase or information gathering activities. A word of caution! Some customers may see tracking devices as intrusive and have raised concerns about these methods especially if not disclosed to them.<br><br>? Experiments: You can also undertake experiments to gage how certain changes affect customer behavior. Take the example of a store which has changed its location and the impact that has had on customer traffic. <br><br>b) Qualitative Research: Qualitative research provides an explanation of information without the assistance of statistics. This technique is useful while addressing ?soft? and intangible issues where emotions play a larger role. Why do you favor a particular brand of soap? Do you buy a certain car purely based on price and technical considerations, or does your personality come into it? What does the new fragrance remind you of?<br><br>Some forms of qualitative research are discussed below.<br><br>? Individual Interviews: A face to face conversation with a customer will help you gather deeper insight. However, this is an expensive method and not all respondents are comfortable sharing details.<br><br>? Focus Groups: Here, a group of people are guided through a discussion by a facilitator. Members of the group are encouraged to respond freely and interact with each other. This type of method results in a greater depth of information. <br><br>? Observational Research: Observing customers as they perform activities can be a very useful research method, especially when they are seen in a natural setting. <br><br>2. Secondary Research: This is by far the most widely used line of attack in market research, where information is accessed from other sources (research reports, consulting firms, published articles and other online & offline sources). Compared to primary research, it is more cost effective and easy to access. On the other hand, the usefulness of this type of research may be limited due to several factors, such as outdated or poorly structured information.<br><br>Also decide on a budget and indicative timeline. These considerations will help narrow down your choices. <br><br>Hi, I am Akhil Shahani, a serial entrepreneur who wants to help you succeed.

This kind of loans came to solve a problem that before their appearance was almost impossible to work out: Getting finance in an emergency without enough time to apply for a personal loan. We are talking about a small amount of money (up to $2000) but needed within 24 hours. <br><br>As one can know by intuition, 24 hours is not enough time to process all the information regular lenders need in order to approve a personal loan. Thus, before the arrival of payday loans customers had no other choice but to resort to family or non traditional financial solutions usually illegal and extremely expensive. <br><br>How they work<br><br>Regular loans have lots of requirements. In fact, banks and traditional lenders rarely grant loans for people with a bad credit score or history and they usually avoid lending to those who can?t offer any collateral. Payday Loans, on the other hand, have almost no requirements and are especially designed for those who lack collateral and have bad credit or no credit at all. <br><br>The only requirements an applicant will have to meet are: showing proof of a steady job and owning a bank account. This is due to the fact that Payday loans have to be paid off by the time the applicant?s next paycheck arrives and the loan amount will be transferred to the borrower?s bank account. Anyone who can meet these two requirements will get a payday loan without hassles. <br><br>It is possible to cancel the loan before de due date, this fact will be recorded and will improve your ability to get finance, so if you can do so, don?t think twice. Otherwise, the loan amount plus fees and interest will be subtracted from your bank account when the loan is due. <br><br>Interest rate explained<br><br>Payday loan carry high interest rate, in fact, the interest rate is turned in this case into a flat and single fee, usually calculated every $100. Payday loan fees range between $10 and $40 every $100. It varies if the fee is calculated weekly, biweekly or monthly, so it?s a smart thing to watch the small print closely as what you may think is a good deal can turn out to be a rip off. <br><br>If you just need a small amount there is nothing to worry about. However if you will be borrowing a larger amount be specially careful with the interest rate as you may end up paying up to 30% interest on a very short term loan. In order to get a good deal out of a payday loan you should only borrow small amounts for short periods of time, this way not only you will avoid overpaying but you?ll also improve your credit history. <br><br>There are many online payday loan lenders that won?t pull your credit report nor require documentation to be sent via fax. Online lenders provide the best service and usually have the lowest interest rates. There are also sites that provide access to many lenders so you can compare what each of them has to offer. <br><br>Bryan Quinn is a financial advisor with more than thirty years of experience in the field of finance who aids people undergoing financial problems and helps them obtain personal loans, home loans, student loans and grants, consolidation loans, car loans and many other financial products regardless of their credit situation.

For some years prior to the elevation of her husband, Bill, a CIA operative like his ''CIA wife'', Hillary had been in control of an organization calling itself the Childrens' Defense Fund. Executive Order 12333 (1981) of President Reagan, the US intelligence services were authorized to operate what became known as Title 18, Section 6 USG corporations for intelligence purposes, and to deny any intelligence community connection (that is, to lie about their real purpose)."<br><br>"…It is alleged, on the basis of intelligence community leakages, that Hillary became accustomed to treating this fund as her own private slush fund."<br><br>Besides meeting with Foster, Wanta was in Switzerland on an official business to arrest the tax-evading criminal Marc Rich. But instead of bringing him to justice, Wanta was double-crossed by Clinton as Rich was allowed to escape on a tip by Israeli Mossad agents and Wanta instead was locked-up in a Swiss dungeon for 134 days.<br><br>Wanta's arrest, for no apparent reason, was met with strong opposition from Israeli leader Itzhak Rabin and Foster, both objecting to the Department of State. It's interesting to note both Rabin and Foster were subsequently killed, Foster on July 20, 1993 and Rabin assassinated in 1995.<br><br>"Foster was a religious man, happily married and why would anyone want to commit suicide after returning with 250 million," said Wanta. "There is no doubt in mind he was murdered as where some of my other business and political associates who were trying to do the right thing while honorably serving their country."<br><br>Regarding the other deaths, Wanta was referring to his business partner, Kok Howe Kwong, and other associates like Freddie Woodruff and Francois de Grosseurve, all found dead, according to Wanta, "strangely for their personal belief in our Great Nation, but by betrayal of others with falsehoods and malice," pointing the finger in the direction of George H. Bush and Clinton.<br><br>The situation in the early 1990's became ugly when Illuminati banksters set their sights on ripping-off vast sums of money in Wanta's control after appointed legal guardian by President Ronald Reagan earmarked for the American people, not private bank accounts<br><br>And now, years later, after Wanta spent a lengthy, "trumped-up" prison sentence and now released on house arrest, the criminals within the government are still trying to get at the money killing before it ever can be released safely into the hands of the American people.<br><br>The reason officials want Wanta out of the way is that he is legally holding the financial "golden keys" to a vast sum of made right after the Cold War after he and others on behalf of President Ronald Reagan were assigned to destabilize the Russian Ruble. The profits have now grown to approximately 27.5 trillion and Wanta has been legally appointed trustee by a 2003 federal court ruling out of Alexandria, Virginia.<br><br>Interviewed March 23 and again on April 3 on The Investigative Journal, Wanta said he and Foster, as well as many other patriots working in the best interests of the U.S., were essentially double-crossed, Foster being murdered for "knowing too much" and Wanta being shackled and hidden away in a Swiss dungeon and then sentenced to 22 years for a bogus Wisconsin state income tax evasion charge.<br><br>Recently released and still under house arrest with 10 years remaining on his sentence, an unexpected 2003 decision by a federal judge ruled he was legal trustee of 27.5 trillion, blocking any efforts for others in government to steal the large sum of money, now held in various overseas accounts under the name of Ameri-trust.<br><br>"I don't think they ever expected the decision and they have been trying to get me out the way so they can get the money before I put it back in the U.S. Treasury," said Wanta, who has also documented that during his prison stay more than $756 billion dollars has been pilfered from the fund by crooked bankers and politicians. The only hope we have in saving our country is to change the private Federal Reserve banking system like President Kennedy wanted to do before he was killed."<br><br>In the simplest of terms, as the dust has finally settled from the Cold War, the issue of the 27.5 trillion held by Wanta in trust for the American people still remains in limbo. According to Wanta, though, the issue is simple: change the banking laws so the money can be used for the people, not put into accounts of criminals.<br><br>According to Saba of the OBO, who investigated and traced Wanta's behind the scenes accounting of how some of the money has already been misappropriated, it's easy to see why Illuminati banksters want to get their dirty hands on the money before it gets into the hands of American people.<br><br>Here is a small portion of Saba's article about what he calls the "biggest bank heist in world history." <br><br>THE STALINESQUE ANO CALIGULA-LIKE PURGE<br><br>"In the meantime, the high-level crooks — who are known to be most uneasy at the continuing leakage of information which threatens their exposure, …have resorted to the ultimate sanction in innumerable cases — have procured that dose on 500 operatives, lawyers and others have been ''taken down'' (liquidated, ''suicided'', placed under house arrest, jailed on trumped-up charges, or dismissed) in a Stalinesque purge of those considered a threat to the continued cover-up of crimes referred to generically as the Iran-Contra scandal, which in fact covers a far widen spectrum of serial illegality than its name implies. It also covers ''legitimate'' intelligence Financial Warfare operations in which Leo Wanta was extensively involved, and its operational codename was the name of his primary Title 18, Section 6 corporation, New Republic/USA Financial Group, and its several affiliates."<br><br>"One method that Leo Wanta says is being used to hide all trace of some of the original alleged embezzlements, is that stolen banking or 138 Treasury instruments are being used and re-used as collateral for bank loans. The effect of this ruse is to ensure that the original embezzled instrument is permanently in the custody of financial institutions, and thus beyond the scrutiny of the authorities — not that this is likely, since, as Leo Wanta told your correspondent finally on 25th April, US Treasury officials are complicit in the vast cover-up operation which has continued ever since the main alleged embezzlements took place in the early 1990s."<br><br>Greg Szymanski
