US banks are told to be prepared for 30-day crisis

BY: JESSE HAMILTON AND JIM BRUNSDEN

Fed chairman Ben Bernanke

The biggest US banks would be required to hold enough easily sold assets to survive a 30-day credit drought under proposed new Federal Reserve liquidity rules.

The Federal Reserve liquidity coverage ratio proposal, approved unanimously at a meeting in Washington, goes further than the Basel III measure adopted in January and calls for earlier implementation than the EU.

The US plan, most stringent for the biggest banks, is looking at implementation by 2017 – two years ahead of Basel's deadline. "The proposed rule would, for the first time in the United States, put in place a quantitative liquidity requirement that would foster a more resilient and safer financial system," Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said before the vote.

The proposal would require setting aside about $2 trillion (€1.44tn), and the Fed estimates that US banks are currently $200bn (€144bn) short.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in January agreed on a liquidity coverage ratio, meant to ensure banks can survive a 30-day credit squeeze without the kind of government aid that was required after the 2008 crisis.

That standard would allow lenders to go beyond cash and low-risk sovereign debt to an expanded range of assets including some equities and corporate debt, according to the agreement.

The US version would include a limited amount of government-sponsored enterprise debt while excluding private-label mortgage-backed securities.

Remove Toxic Heavy Metals from Your Body in Less Than 7 Hours

The safe removal of heavy metals is becoming one of the modern world’s biggest health issues. Heavy metals surround us; chemtrails, vaccinations, air and water pollution, living or working near a smelter or mine, dental fillings and of course, the kingpin of all, fluoridated water. Hydrofluosilicic acid, the chemical often used to fluoridate drinking water, is an industrial waste that contains lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, benzene and radioactive waste material. A fact that boggles the mind and poses the question… 

How did we let this end up in our water? 

Heavy metals poisoning 

“In my clinical experience, everyone has excessive amounts of some, or all of the toxic metals” says Lawrence Wilson, MD. 

No one in the industrial world is untouched, and the effects of heavy metals are nothing short of frightening, with links to impaired brain and motor function, Alzheimer’s, dementia, heart disease and genetic defects. 

Heavy metals replace the body’s needed minerals, for instance, lead will replace calcium in the bones, weakening them and causing osteoporosis. Lead also replaces calcium in the blood cells, damaging the blood and causing a severe form of anemia. 

It then goes to the brain, where it replaces calcium, iron magnesium and other vital elements that are found there. Cadmium will replace zinc in a male’s testicles as well as in a woman’s ovaries, causing countless reproductive issues. Male and female sexual fluids are rich in zinc, this can cause low sperm counts, impotence in men, reduced fertility in women, and increased libido in women.

“Cadmium is so toxic to the brain that it causes what might be called ‘a small rebellion’ in the tissues of the brain, which results in violent thoughts. One notices this as one removes cadmium, that violent thoughts and even one’s violent impulses diminish” Lawrence Wilson, MD. 

Mercury is one of the most toxic minerals known to man, and yet it is also one of the most common heavy metal’s used today. It’s even used in children’s vaccines as a preservative in the form Thimerosal. 

“If you inject thimerosal into an animal, it’s brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a petri dish the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage.”

Boyd Haley PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky.

The list of debilitating illnesses associated with mercury is incredibly vast and mercury exposure should be avoided at all costs. 

(Further reading: The Consequences of Toxic Metals and Chemical Aerosols on Human Health) When heavy metals are present and needed minerals are low, the body will use heavy metals for enzyme creation. As this occurs, the metals inhibit, overstimulate or otherwise alter thousands of enzymes. An affected enzyme may operate at 5% of normal activity. This may contribute to countless health conditions. 

The importance of enzymes can not be underestimated. Some health professionals believe them to be the key to good health and longevity. “The length of life is inversely proportional to the rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential of an organism.” (The Enzyme Nutrition Axiom formulated by Dr Edward Howell). 

Now for the good news! 

Natural mineral compound zeolite, specifically clinoptilolite – which is found in Cosevo Advanced TRS Detoxification Spray – has the perfect structure for removing heavy metals and will do it quickly and safely. 

Clinoptilolite is shaped like a cage and is one of only a few minerals in nature that carries a negative charge. It’s this amazing combination that allows the zeolite to capture toxic heavy metals containing a positive charge including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, bismuth, antimony, barium, depleted uranium and many others. Zeolite will then remove them from the body; once the toxins are trapped in the zeolite molecule they are almost impossible for them to escape this bond. 

Zeolite is incredibly fast-acting and is completely removed from the body in 5-7 hours and in turn, so are the trapped toxins and heavy metals. Zeolite is removed through normal bodily processes and due to it trapping toxic material it greatly reduces the burden on liver and kidneys. A full body detox to remove all metals will take 4-9 weeks depending on age, general health and diet. 

If the zeolite is properly micronized, meaning the particle’s have been ground to a microscopic size, it will be able to break the blood brain barrier and clean out toxins like mercury and lead from the brain. It’s important that you see 3rd Party Particle Testing to verify the particle’s size before buying any zeolite product. All zeolite’s will still work, but mainly in the intestine, similar to bentonite clay. 

Zeolite has some other incredible benefits, there is evidence that it can also destroy cancer cells directly by triggering the P-21 gene. 

“When NCD’s molecular cages contain a heavy metal ion they have a polarized charge and as this polarized cage goes near a cancer cell their polar charge makes it easy for them to go through cancer cell membranes but not normal cell membranes. But when the cancer cell identifies the zeolite in the cell it realizes that something may be wrong for it to be there in the first place and switches on the P21 gene that self-destructs the cancer cell.”

Biochemist Dr Rik Deitsch.

Once the heavy metal concentrations have been reduced, the zeolite latches on to viral pieces or components. Because viruses replicate by first manufacturing viral components and then assembling them into a complete virus, pure liquid zeolite, in essence, removes parts from the assembly line and blocks viral replication. 

It will also buffer blood PH, as a slightly alkaline body pH (7.35 – 7.45) is essential for good health and optimal immune function. Liquid zeolite attracts and then buffers excess protons which cause acidity and in this way can help many conditions ranging from acid reflux to Candida and arthritis. In the same way that liquid zeolite can buffer excess protons and thus help balance body pH, it can also buffer excess glucose by its negative charge and therefore helps reduce blood sugar spikes and lowers insulin dependency. 

The cage-like structure of liquid zeolite traps free radical molecules, making it an effective antioxidant. This is not to say that liquid zeolite is a substitute for more conventional antioxidants such as Vitamins C, E and A, lutein and selenium, all of which have other vital roles to play in the body. 

Liquid zeolite also captures some of the allergens and antigens that trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma, and helps to reduce symptoms. Liquid zeolite increases immune system function by removing the toxins and pathogens that depress immune function and interfere with hormone balance. It effectively stimulates the immune system, which further helps deal with toxins, viruses, yeasts, bacteria and fungi. As a result, many people report feeling increased energy, clarity and vitality of life. 

Is Zeolite safe? 

The removal of heavy metals and toxins is paramount in any health regime. Whether you are trying to treat a disease, looking to prevent disease or just remove the toxic burdens all around us, zeolite is an amazing tool that will make a huge difference. 

You may be asking “well won’t it remove all the good metals? And won’t it make me iron deficient?” 

The answer is NO. Interestingly, people taking zeolite show a net increase in iron levels and other beneficial minerals – due to the removal of the dangerous heavy metals that will block their absorption and storage. Zeolite is somewhat selective as it will go after the particles with the highest charge first, for example mercury and lead. It is recommended that you supplement your diet with a good quality broad spectrum colloidal mineral to make sure you replace all the things you’ve been missing. 

In over 800 years of use throughout the world, there has never been any side effects to zeolite recorded. However, slight dehydration can occur so be sure to drink plenty of water during the detoxification process. 

Coseva Advanced TRS Detoxification Spray has also been safely used by pregnant women, nursing mothers and small children. It is safe to take with most medication, and has been granted a status of GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the United States FDA (Food & Drug Administration). 

“With liquid zeolite, we have returned to the basic healing approach for all chronic diseases, which is to free up and activate the vital life force. Liquid Zeolite is truly an alchemical gift from the Divine”

Gabriel Cousens M.D.

The safe removal of heavy metals from the body is becoming one of the modern world’s biggest health issues. I truly believe Pure Liquid Zeolite to be one of the keys to achieving good health in the 21st century.

Local Departments Fortify Police State With Armored Personnel Carriers

by: Brandon Turbeville and Heather Callaghan

All across the country, preparations are being made for a massive assault on an enemy that has yet to be publicly defined. The preparations involve the procurement of Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs), military equipment, and tactical training. These preparations, however, are not being undertaken by the US military in response to a potential outside invasion but, instead, by local police departments towards what one must logically assume is a domestic threat. 

Indeed, police and sheriff’s departments all across the country, from Michigan and Ohio to Texas, California to Idaho to South Carolina, and from Maine to Florida are hardening their forces with militarized body armor, weaponry, tactical gear, and APCs coming straight from the US military at bargain prices. 

But who, exactly, is the enemy that American police must feel the need to become so battle-hardened against? Even if one were to, for the sake of argument, allow the ridiculous narrative of the threats of domestic terrorism to be true, where are the armies of Muslim fundamentalists inside of America? Or are the police actually preparing to defend American citizens against some foreign military invasion by another major power? 

The answer, of course, is none of the above. American police are not being trained to defend the American public – they are being trained to oppress them. In other words, the enemy for which local police departments all across the country are preparing to engage in outright combat against is the American people themselves.

Yet it is not merely the major cities of America that have been procuring military APCs/MRAPs as many may initially suspect. Even smaller rural police and sheriff’s departments have been obtaining APCs/MRAPs with no justifiable reason for doing so. 

For instance, while larger counties like Richland County, South Carolina (to which Columbia belongs) have recently procured an APC (complete with a machine gun turret that fires .50 caliber rounds), smaller areas like Florence, South Carolina have done the same. Even small towns likeChickasaw Alabama and small rural counties like Marion County, South Carolina have gotten in on the act, as well as universities like Ohio State University and UC Berkley.

Indeed, as police departments spend taxpayer money to procure APCs and other military-related equipment, the truth of the matter is that such equipment serves no real purpose outside of a military combat zone. After all, the sole purpose of an APC is to transport military personnel to and from combat zones in a protected fashion. 

Although many police departments will argue that APCs will be used to do the same for police during a hostage or standoff situation, one must ask where is the actual combat zone? To most Americans, (except for those living in Chicago perhaps), it might come as quite the surprise that America is considered a combat zone worthy of needing APCs for transportation.

Of course, it should be noted that, even after arriving at the scene of the hostage taking or standoff, police would then still have to exit the vehicle to deal with it and put themselves in harm’s way as a result. Thus, the idea of requiring armored protection on the way TO a standoff situation is null and void. 

Indeed, whenever APCs are used during a live situation, the police who are allegedly using the vehicle for their protection are often seen riding on the outside of the vehicle, thus negating the entire purpose of the vehicle. 

Yet APCs, despite their uselessness in legitimate hostage situations, are becoming increasingly common not just by the fact that police departments are acquiring more and more of them but also by their use. 

Of course, the very fact that police departments are not only procuring but using APCs and related weaponry against its citizens, particularly non-violent, unarmed, ones, is the clear signal of a police state. However, if police departments are procuring such vehicles out of the “cool” factor where police merely gather new and more powerful toys (as some have argued) then the police departments are guilty of grossly wasting taxpayer money during a time of economic depression. Some argue that it is like insurance – you hope you never have to use it but it’s there if you do. Thus, police departments, at best, are flushing large amounts of money down the toilet for their own entertainment or, at worst, ramping up the full implementation of a domestic police state. 

Again, the answer is obvious. Law Enforcement has never simply acquired weaponized “eye candy” that they do not intend to use. True to form, the use of APCs by domestic police is already occurring and it is rapidly on the rise. 

As Radley Balko of Reason.com writes, 

One of the most appalling cases occurred in Maricopa County, Arizona, the home of Joe Arpaio, self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America." In 2004 one of Arpaio's SWAT teams conducted a bumbling raid in a Phoenix suburb. Among other weapons, it used tear gas and an armored personnel carrier that later rolled down the street and smashed into a car. The operation ended with the targeted home in flames and exactly one suspect in custody--for outstanding traffic violations.

In addition, according to Raw Story, Dallas County, Texas Sheriff’s Department has stated that its new APC will be used for the purposes of serving warrants. 

As the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center reports, “on May 11, 2006, Champaign police received a call from Garden Hills, about Carl “Dennis” Stewart, a suicidal black man alone in his car with a gun. The Champaign police called out the SWAT team and rolled out their prized Armored Personnel Carrier. After a four-hour standoff, Stewart was chased down the street by the APC. Cornered by police, he put the gun to his head and killed himself.”

Unfortunately, events such as the three listed above are becoming more and more common in a country that still ironically boasts of being the freest in the world. Routinely used in SWAT team raids APCs/MRAPS have now become ubiquitous in the world of law enforcement and American life. Scarcely do they even warrant a mention when raids are reported in media outlets. 

Clearly, the police are no longer tasked with even the pretense of protecting and serving the American public. Indeed, official police training literature and analysis reports consistently list both normal and informed American citizens as potential terrorists, thus reinforcing the “us vs. them” mentality running rampant throughout law enforcement organizations all across the country.

With such benign behavior as supporting specific political candidates, paying for coffee with cash, having “apocalyptic religious beliefs,” and even possessing a pair of socks as potential domestic terrorism, the police have been successfully trained to view the American citizen as both a threat and a danger to the law and order of the state. While the police may not be actual foreign military troops, they are without a doubt an occupying force which sees the general public as a subject population. Thus, the population is a threat which they seek to extinguish. 

Regardless, whether or not the police actively take advantage of their new-found military equipment, the mere possession of what amounts to a military tank minus the cannon (although machine gun turrets are often a part of the vehicle) can be used as a method of intimidation to any citizen considering dissent against the current power structure.

Indeed, in many totalitarian societies of the past, it was the perceived domination and power of the state – not the actual power – which kept millions of people in check. There is no doubt that the visual image of APCs/MRAPs on the streets of America, occasionally serving warrants and supporting SWAT raids, is an intimidating and threatening image and an ever-present reminder of the power of the State.[1]

The presence of APCs on American streets is clearly not an organic or isolated incident. As Wendy McElroy writes, “it is part of a well-funded, coordinated federal program called Operation Urban Shield.” Essentially Operation Urban Shield is a program designed to train law enforcement to impose martial law . . . and American citizens to accept it. Such was clearly the case in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing. Police in full combat gear were scarcely identifiable from the actual military marched through the streets of Boston complete with riflemen posted in gun turrets mounted on APCs/MRAPs. Likewise, APCs were a close companion during Occupy peaceful protests.

It is important to understand that whenever one witnesses simultaneous events taking place in seemingly unrelated parts of the world, or even the local scene, seldom is that series of events merely coincidence. It is almost always the signal of a carefully coordinated and orchestrated agenda taking shape after years of backstage planning.

Still, one should wonder just what law enforcement organizations are preparing for and why they believe they need to be outfitted with Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and APCs. If even cursory research is conducted, it will clearly reveal that it is because those at the top level of society have a very grim vision of the future.

Did you see this? Opinion on the Gunboats in Eden Isles, LA (VIDEO)

Henry,

As of 8:35 AM Monday, Central time, the video that you posted on your youtube channel about the gunboats in Eden Isle, La had over 106,000 views. I have been reading the comments on the youtube site and it is disturbing to say the least. While there are many Patriots posting there, many of the comments are saying things like “this is normal” and “they are just training”, etc. This is far from normal. I was active duty Army for 14 years and Louisiana National Guard for 5 years. We never and I do mean never carried or mounted weapons when out in public. We were even briefed of the laws and that we could not carry our military arms in public and in uniform.

This new way of doing things where the military is mounting and carrying weapons was normalized during Katrina. As we all know on From The Trenches, this is not legal or just in any way. However the public (sheeple) have grown accustomed to it and dont think it is a big deal. This tells me that when they do start patrolling for real with weapons locked and loaded, the sheeple will accept it 100%. The guy who shot that video lives in that neighborhood and has never seen that before. It obviously was disturbing or he would not have sent it out. Yet people are saying things like you should be glad they are there and HOOAH!.

Really? Wake up people. Even Bracken put a comment that is was a good thing and he is a Patriot. It isnt, under any circumstances a good thing. They can train on the lake, they can train anywhere else, but you do not train in residential neighborhoods. Especially with M2 Machine Guns mounted. One day these patrols will become the real deal and most Americans will say nothing until it is too late. Then they will wonder why they are being taken away or worse. Vigilance takes on a whole new meaning now. The video is kind of grainy, but if I counted correctly, there were 5 M2s on each boat, that makes 20 M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Guns, plus personal weapons. They could kill every person on that canal in a matter of minutes with that type of fire power and if it is normal to see them patrolling, that will get no resistance.

I have been wondering how it would even be possible for the DHS and other agencies to initiate hostilities and be able to handle 330,000,000 Americans all at once. Now I am starting to see it being possible. If four boats armed like that can just roll around without much notice, then they can do alot of destruction in a short time when called upon. It is going to be very important that we do not hesitate when the time comes. If they are able to gain control without much resistance, we will have one hell of a fight to get it back.

People need to be war gaming every possible scenario NOW. Think about the canal and what they could do if that was four boats full of bad guys. What if that was residential streets? What if it were trucks or worse, tanks? There is no doctrine for an insurgency. Do what works, no matter what that is. I know that I am preaching to the choir here, but if there was ever a time to get our heads in the game, it would be now. I dont know how many Patriots are on From The Trenches, but with our numbers beingspread out across our great land, we can accomplish anything. We and people like us will be the leaders of the resistance and return our Republic to its rightful existence.
