U.S. OFFICIALS AND CRIMINALISED BANKS ENGAGED IN A FRAUDULENT 'FREE-FOR-ALL'

INSTITUTIONS IN BREACH OF BASIC FIDUCIARY DUTIES TOWARDS AMBASSADOR LEO WANTA

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN JEOPARDY AS FOREIGN POWERS DEMAND PAYMENT

INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY REVIEW CALLS CERTAIN BANKS CRIMINAL ORGANISATIONS

'GOLD BADGES' ACTIVATED AS THE FINANCIAL CROOKS BRAZENLY FLOUT U.S. STATUTES

SECURITIES AND BANKING REGULATIONS TREATED WITH CONTEMPT BY THESE CRIMINALS

U.S. TREASURY ORDERED TO TRANSFER $4.5 TRILLION TO WANTA'S CORPORATION

The $4.5 trillion belonging to, tagged and earmarked for Ambassador Leo E. Wanta as his agreed Settlement formally approved by the US Supreme Court, the White House, the Federal Reserve, the US Treasury and senior legislators, as previously reported, is now authoritatively understood to be deposited in a non-depletion, non-callable Secured US Treasury Securities Account with a major Wall Street institution.

For many months now, the full $4.5 trillion have been FRAUDULENTLY AND ILLEGALLY TRADED
by US domestic and international banks – exploiting the funds available in the form of a Clearing House Interbank Payment System (CHIPS) credit at a US domestic bank – and by the US Federal Reserve and the US Department of Defense, without the permission of the owner and principal, Ambassador Leo Wanta. All the parties concerned are engaged in organised criminal operations.

The $4.5 trillion have been traded with financial sector counterparties that have themselves been trading the funds illegally, in dereliction of their duty to perform Due Diligence in accordance with banking and securities industry regulations. Any such Due Diligence would have revealed that the funds are not the property of the institutions placing them for overnight gains, and are therefore being traded fraudulently – and that the originating institutions are in breach of their fiduciary duty towards Ambassador Leo Wanta. It follows that all the financial institutions concerned, including the domestic and foreign counterparty institutions, are criminal organisations.

IF THIS SCANDAL CONTINUES, EVERY ONE OF THESE INSTITUTIONS WILL BE EXPOSED.
The reason this has not happened yet is that the Editor of International Currency Review does not wish to be the person who actually triggers the collapse of the international financial system, which is built upon reputational considerations and confidence. But it can hardly continue to function well if the criminal gangs, which control the US and other leading governments, retain the upper hand.

100% of the accruals derived from these illegal trades are the property of Ambassador Leo Wanta, upon which tax is payable. However the deviant financial organisations and officials engaged in this organised criminal activity are stashing the resulting accruals offshore, deploying them to ‘fill holes’ in accounts, or to rectify gross miscalculations such as the monumental 'unanticipated' costs
of financing the sterile Iraqi and Aghanistan conflicts.

And all of a sudden, the head of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Donald Marion, has today announced that the projected 'visible' Federal Budget deficit will emerge at $260 billion, some $400 billion lower than previously estimated. This neatly covers up the grotesque consequences of the US budgetary profligacy of recent years. According to Mr Marion, the main reason for this suddenly favourable Federal Budget development is that wealthy individuals and corporations – for example, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., which is to pay over tax at 35% of full value – will be paying 'more tax than expected'; but the real reason is that the official parties will have diverted funds from off-balance sheet sources, including the assets belonging to Ambassador Leo Wanta, to 'cook the books'.

GLOBAL FINANCIAL SCAMS BRAZENLY PERPETRATED BY THE HIGHEST U.S. OFFICIALS
In a massive, officially sanctioned, illegal money-laundering carousel that has been ongoing with the full knowledge and participation of the corrupt US Federal Reserve ever since November 2005, an estimated $25 trillion of related funds has meanwhile been diverted into INDIA by the American authorities and others, in order to remove the funds from the immediate spotlight being shone into the eyes of the criminal gangs operating at the very heart of the US Government and its structures.

Specifically, the proceeds of these fund-washing operations are placed back onto the books from which funds were diverted, with the self-enrichment profits being transferred to India in the form of bonds. The key perpetrators of these continuing frauds include the President and Vice President of the United States, George W. Bush Jr. and Richard Cheney, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Dr Ben Bernanke, the Secretary of Defence, Mr Donald Rumsfeld, and also two successive Secretaries of the Treasury, John Snow and Henry M. Paulson.

Without going into excessive detail, the illegal operations have the effect of laundering US dollars, including American taxpayers' funds of course, off the books, in collaboration with corrupt foreign officials and elected leaders – with the crooked, illegal proceeds being placed back onto the books where 'holes' created by previous organised financial scams need most urgently to be plugged.

These ongoing frauds, sanctioned at the highest levels, enable past giga-financial scams to be covered up while holders of high office participate in successive fraudulent transactions off the books with corrupt foreign counterparties – lodging their illegal untaxed profits offshore.

The attitude of the criminals involved is that the purpose of holding high office is self-enrichment, rather than serving the US nation and the abused American people. The senior figures concerned, both domestically and abroad, need to be subjected to A FULL NET WORTH TEST – not least so that appropriate tax demands and associated penalties can be levied on their ill-gotten gains, and other appropriate sanctions imposed against them, as provided for by national legislation.

WANTA PLAN CALLS FOR 100% TRANSPARENCY
Hence, The Wanta Plan, which provides for full transparency and for all transactions to be properly taxed and conducted on the books, threatens to expose all these untaxed illegal past and ongoing transactions – with devastating consequences for the perpetrators under the present and the past three US Administrations.

As the net has closed in upon the criminal gangs, they have panicked and have intended, with a degree of arrogance not observed since Adolph Hitler’s era, to continue their cooperative financial scamming operations for as long as possible – on the assumption that their crimes would never be exposed and that they will survive (if they all hang together) with impunity.

As one anxious US intelligence operative associated with George Bush Sr. put it, in an unsolicited telephone message left on the Editor’s New York voicemail in May 2003: ‘We need to talk. None of this must ever come out, you understand’. Thereafter, the Editor determined that, come what may, this is precisely what needed to happen.

Some of these parties, and others, have also been fraudulently using Ambassador Wanta's funds, illegally borrowed without his consent, to generate overnight windfall accruals – thereby becoming co-conspirators and accessories to the fact of fraud committed against Ambassador Wanta, and his corporation, the US Treasury, eight foreign powers, and the American people who stand to benefit from the proper disposition of the $4.5 trillion in accordance with the underlying legal documents and President Reagan’s instructions to Ambassador Wanta and the relevant Presidential Protocols.

The windfall accruals that have been earned by overnight trading of these funds are the property of Ambassador Leo Wanta and do not belong to the criminal institutions which have been illegally and fraudulently pocketing the profits. These institutions, which disguise their egregious criminality behind 'Due Diligence' and so-called 'compliance', are in the process of being exposed as scam shops and components of organised criminal operations. Yet although they are well aware that the game is up, they erroneously believe that they are immune because their scamming partners are high-level criminalist office-holders and crooks in the US Government structures.

AMBASSADOR WANTA'S TREASURER ORDERS THE $4.5 TRILLION TO BE CREDITED
On 14th August 2006, Mr Michael C. Cottrell M.S., the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of Ambassador Wanta's corporation, instructed in writing that the Secretary of the Treasury, Hank M. Paulson, order the immediate transfer of the $4.5 trillion for the Securities Account of Ambassador Wanta’s corporation (AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.) at a prominent Wall Street securities firm – where, in response to the Due Diligence documentation submitted by Mr Cottrell, it has qualified for, and is in possession of, the necessary US Securities Account Number with the major institution concerned. Copies of Mr Cottrell’s instructions were conveyed to Mr James R. Wilkinson at the Treasury, and to President George W. Bush.

At 1.52pm Eastern Standard Time on 14th August 2006, Mr Cottrell was able to reconfirm that the funds are held in the said non-depletion, non-callable Secured US Treasury Securities Account at Goldman Sachs and Co., and would be available on 15th August 2006. These assurances turned out, as is now commonplace given the breakdown of institutional integrity and trust, to be false.

FRAUD AND FELONIES PERPETRATED BY GOLDMAN SACHS AND CO.
The following sequence of events must now be explained. On 9th August 2006, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., and Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., Mr Michael C. Cottrell's own investment firm, submitted Due Diligence documentation to Goldman Sachs and Co., where Ambassador Leo E. Wanta has for many years maintained substantial accounts in his capacity as Trustor of the original $27.5 trillion raised from 200+ international banks in 1989-92.

While he was 'out of the way' – illegally incarcerated, held under house arrest under trumped-up charges so that the high-level conspirators could fraudulently trade the funds in collaboration with corrupt bankers who were and remain co-conspirators and accessories to the fact of the frauds in question – Goldman Sachs and Co had access to, and was able to use, his funds illegally without let or hindrance, and was in manifest breach of its continuing fiduciary duties towards the sole owner and principal of the funds, Ambassador Leo Wanta.

On 11th August 2006, Mr Kevin Ford, a Compliance Officer and a Vice President of Goldman Sachs [11th Floor, 85 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004] 'advised' Mr Cottrell at about 4.35pm Eastern Daylight Time that:

(1) No sum of $4.5 trillion exists.
(2) No sum of $27.5 trillion exists.
(3) If Mr Cottrell is as qualified as his resume and other extensive Due Diligence documentation indicates, he should have known better than to claim that the above funds exist.
(4) Neither Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., nor AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc, meet Goldman Sachs' compliance qualifications to obtain a Securities Account.
(5) Mr Cottrell should never call Goldman Sachs again; and:
(6) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would be notified of this attempted fraud.

In reality, of course, Mr Kevin Ford, representing Goldman Sachs and Co, was in gross violation of his fiduciary responsibility towards, and perpetrated an egregious fraud against, Ambassador Leo Emil Wanta (and Michael C. Cottrell M.S.) – given the Title 18 Section 6 US Government intelligence accounts held over many years at Goldman Sachs and Co., containing substantial funds of which the Ambassador is owner and principal – and for which Ambassador Wanta is the signatory – which the institution may have been using for its own benefit or for other purposes contrary to the high standards that it purports to uphold. The misinformation and fraudulent statements by Mr Kevin Ford on behalf of this institution constituted felonies under the Securities Exchange Act 1934.

On 12th August 2006, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., and Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., submitted Due Diligence documentation to another prominent Wall Street Securities firm, and on 14th August, both corporations duly qualified for and were given possession of, the necessary US Securities Account Numbers. AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., has also been awarded a State of Virginia Tax ID.

Goldman Sachs' error was further compounded by the fact that Mr Cottrell is, in the Editor's opinion, regarded as among the most highly qualified securities experts in the world, with an unrivalled international reputation – which is why he has long since been selected by, and is working with, Ambassador Leo Wanta for the specialised financial work that will be carried out under what is now known as 'The Wanta Plan'.

Therefore, far from Goldman Sachs being in any position to call the FBI, the boot is firmly on the other foot – not least since, as a consequence of Mr Ford's reckless manoeuvre, Goldman Sachs has now lost the $4.5 trillion belonging to the Ambassador which was to be credited to the US Securities Account of AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., at a rival Wall Street institution.

LEADING FOREIGN POWERS DEMAND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OF ‘SET-ASIDE ALLOCATIONS’
As an immediate consequence of the Status Report posted by the Editor of International Currency Review on the 13th August 2006, Ministers and Ambassadors from Mexico, France and the Russian Federation contacted the US authorities to ask angrily why their ‘set-aside’ allocations have not been paid to them, and why they are being defrauded of these funds. The countries which are due to receive remittances under the Reagan Protocols are: Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico and Spain, which are due to be paid $5.0 billion each. In addition, $30 billion is payable to the Russian Federation. President Putin is demanding to know why he has not been paid.

Chinese parties who are also due very substantial funds under separate agreements with the US Treasury and Mr Paulson, that were triggered by the Wanta Settlement, also indicated on the 14th August 2006 that they would be taking drastic punitive action against the US financial establishment and structures as a direct consequence of having been defrauded of the payments that are legally overdue to them, and which remain grossly and illegally in default. They have now done this.

SPECIFICALLY, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAVE ABRUPTLY CEASED ALL FINANCIAL OPERATIONS VIA THE CLEARING HOUSE INTERBANK PAYMENTS SYSTEM [CHIPS], NEW YORK. The US 'authorities' have only themselves to blame for this obviously predictable outcome.

It is also understood that the Ministers and Ambassadors from Mexico, France and Russia, and several other interested national representatives as well, are 'beyond' furious that their allocations remain outstanding, and have demanded immediate settlement by Ambassador Leo Wanta without further ado. However Leo Wanta has been prevented from making these remittances, which he is legally bound and committed to do, by the current President of the United States, the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, the Secretary of the Treasury and the other parties to this scandal – which is now threatening to escalate to the point at which the entire international financial system, constructed on confidence, may be irreparably damaged.

CRIMINAL GANGS OPERATING INSIDE THE U.S. STRUCTURES THREATEN GLOBAL STABILITY
The criminal cadres operating inside the US Government structures, at the highest levels, are on the verge of throwing the world into chaos because they are hooked into patterns of interlocking fraudulent transactions from which they dare not extricate themselves, for fear of exposure and indictment. 'Gold Badges' – meaning powerful, high-level US Treasury investigators who will take no nonsense from anyone holding even the highest offices – have been working overtime to get to the point at which they will be ready to bring out the handcuffs, which are grossly overdue.

Meanwhile, the following issues are the subject of grave concern internationally:

The 'Full Faith and Credit of the United States', upon which the integrity of the US dollar system, and of the entire international financial framework, depends, has been all but fatally compromised because the White House, the Federal Reserve, the US Supreme Court, the US Treasury and the other high-level parties concerned, have repeatedly demonstrated that they cannot be relied upon to meet their financial obligations. Discipline, integrity and the Rule of Law have collapsed.

Very large Wall Street-based financial institutions have wilfully mishandled, misappropriated, and diverted Ambassador Wanta's funds illegally, thereby perpetrating fraud against Leo Wanta as sole owner and principal – and against the US Treasury itself, the American Government generally, the eight foreign powers that have not been paid, and of course the neglected American people, whom these operatives despise. These institutions are indeed therefore criminal organisations.

At one stage earlier, the Chairman of Bank of America became so alarmed at this stark reality that he demanded that the Treasury take the $4.5 trillion belonging to Ambassador Wanta off his books, so that he and his institution would no longer appear to be implicated in the fraud.

The official perpetrators of these crimes have, by their actions, confirmed that they hold high office NOT in order to serve the people, but as criminal co-conspirators intent upon personal self-enrichment. If the full scale of their financial crimes and of their crimes against humanity were to be comprehensively divulged, as is in prospect, there will be a Second American Revolution – since, once they have become aware of them, the American people will not tolerate the gross abuses that these criminal gangs operating inside the US official structures have committed and continue to commit, so far with impunity, given the criminal complicity of the US military-intelligence complex.

By specifically impeding the payment of tax by Ambassador Leo Wanta (an initial $1.6 trillion to the Treasury, followed by amounts estimated at $96 billion per banking day thereafter, and an estimated $270 billion to the State of Virginia), the President of the United States and the Treasury Secretary have signalled to taxpayers throughout the United States that the US tax system is grossly unfair.

Hence it can only be a matter of time before US tax activists, hauled before Tax Commissioners, will refuse to remit taxes on the grounds that since the President of the United States has prevented Ambassador Wanta from paying taxes that he is legally bound to pay, there is no reason why anyone in the United States should pay any tax at all.

In short, the confused US authorities, pushed into a corner by their incompetent and arrogant mishandling of this situation, have inadvertently set the precedent for a de facto tax amnesty.

THE OBVIOUS REMEDY IS TO HAND
The mess that the US authorities find themselves in, as a consequence of their confused and ever more desperate attempts to obfuscate other financial crimes of international scope which they fear might be comprehensively exposed when Ambassador Leo Wanta’s Settlement has been finalised, can be resolved by Henry M. Paulson fulfilling his legal obligation to release the long delayed $4.5 trillion for the Authorised Securities Account of Leo Wanta’s corporation at the relevant major Wall Street Securities House. At the time of this posting, he had scandalously failed to do so.

Either these people are collectively infected with a terminal madness, or they are working to an agenda which diverges from the interests, requirements, and, increasingly, the DEMANDS, of the impatient American people. A primary factor underlying the French Revolution was the existence of privileged 'estates' that paid no tax, unlike the ordinary people, while the Treasury's finances ran up huge deficits which involved the State in fraudulent 'creative accounting'. This is EXACTLY the situation that has arisen in the United States, where a 'new class' operating in collaboration with the criminalised military-intelligence 'state within the state' PAYS NO TAXES ON ITS OFF-BALANCE SHEET SCAMMING PROCEEDS AND THINKS IT CAN CONTINUE DOING SO INDEFINITELY.

THE CONFUSED 'KING' OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND HIS COWARDLY, COMPROMISED AND CRIMINALIST COURTIERS NEED TO TAKE URGENT STOCK OF THEIR PRECARIOUS SITUATION, GIVEN THE OMINOUS AND UNCANNILY SIMILAR HISTORICAL PRECEDENT CITED.

It is not, and has never been, the intention of Ambassador Leo Wanta to 'take revenge' upon the cowardly and criminalised structures responsible for this crisis – and for having tried to put him away for 22 years so that, in collaboration with their corrupt co-conspirators among the financial institutions, they could divert, misappropriate and otherwise illegally dispose of and trade the trillions of which he is the Trustor and sole principal and owner, on Presidential instructions.

At various stages, attempts were made to poison him, to murder him inside the US prison Gulag,
to have him certified insane, and otherwise to abuse, scam and illegally detain this great American patriot – who saved President Reagan's life on one or more occasions. There is no question that Ambassador Wanta's perseverance, his will, determination and inspiration will prevail, and that the interests of the American people will finally be met – and that the criminalised official and financial sector globalist conspirators who are behind this crisis will be forced to face reality.

A TOP GLOBAL CONSPIRATOR CONFIRMS THE GLOBAL CONSPIRACY
For the benefit of knee-jerk 'smart fellows' whose minds are befogged by 'slides' and who will be inclined to accuse the Editor of International Currency Review of being a 'conspiracy theorist', the following statement by one of the leading globalist strategists, Mr David Rockefeller, published in 2002*, will no doubt come as a shock:

'For more than a century, ideological extremists [sic] at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicised incidents such as my encounter with Castro, to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over the American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it’.

As will be seen, David Rockefeller acknowledges that he is part of a secret cabal (synarchy) which works against the best interests of the United States. Why, then, has he not yet been indicted for conspiring against the United States under Section 371 of the United States Code, Title 18, 'Crimes and Criminal Procedure', which states that 'if two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both'?

DRASTIC LEGAL OPTIONS AND APPLICABLE STATUTES
This stipulated penalty is, however, as nothing compared to the remedies available to Ambassador Leo Wanta/AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc and Executive Vice President and Treasurer Michael C. Cottrell, M.S., should they finally determine that the frauds and abuses to which they have been endlessly subjected, have exceeded even the bounds of the infinite patience that the patriotic and kindly Ambassador has exhibited to date.

Although the Rule of Law has collapsed due to the egregious serial felonies and frauds committed by holders of high office and their financial sector co-conspirators, including major institutions and certain broker/dealers, the relevant US statutes remain applicable and ready to be enforced. Under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), enacted by Section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, and codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, a person 'damaged in his business or property' can sue one or more racketeers outright.

Racketeering activity covers murder and commission of murder-for-hire (relevant in this case), robbery, bribery, extortion, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, obstructions of justice, racketeering, money laundering, fraud in the sale of securities, and any act which is indictable under the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act (The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970).

Under the Hobbs Act 1946 [Title 18 USC, Section 1951], any actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce is prohibited. This statute is in frequent use in connection with cases involving public corruption, with which we are dealing here, and commercial disputes.

The Hobbs Act prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce 'in any way or degree'. The stipulated extortion offence covers both the obtaining of property "under color of official right" by public officials, and the obtaining of property by private actors with the victim’s "consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear", including fear of economic harm.

Significantly, extortion "under color of official right" does not require that a US public official take steps to induce the extortionate payment. And a violation of the Hobbs Act may be part of a "pattern of racketeering activity" for the purposes of prosecution under RICO.

Other American statutes to which the criminalised official and financial sector co-conspirators and accessories to the fact are variously vulnerable include, of course, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, enacted so as to oversee both the registration process and the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933; the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, a.k.a. the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act, which seeks to deter criminal activity and to aid criminal investigations by requiring financial institutions to report large cash transactions and the transportation of instruments now exceeding $10,000; the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, which made all money laundering a Federal crime, corresponding to the previously approved Organized Crime Control Act of 1970; the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which detailed undercover operations involving money-laundering; the Annunzio-Wylie Anti-Money Laundering Act of 1992, which enlarged the definition of "financial transaction", making all money-transmitting, without reporting, a US crime; the Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994, which required that "any person who owns or controls a money services business" must register with the Secretary of the Treasury; and the Terrorism Prevention Act of 1996, which added terrorism-related crimes as predicates for money laundering. Additionally, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), created under the Maloney Act of 1938, as an amendment to the Securities Act of 1933, provided inter alia for the enforcement of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, and for coordination and cooperation with the SEC, States and other interested US Federal agencies.

Section 35 of Title 18, 'Crimes and Criminal Procedure' ('Imparting or conveying false information')
is also, of course, applicable – providing inter alia that 'whoever wilfully and maliciously conveys
or causes to be imparted or conveyed false information, knowing the information to be false, concerning an attempt or alleged attempt being made or to be made, to do any act which would be a crime prohibited by this Chapter or Chapter 97 of Chapter 111 of this Title, shall be fined under this Title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both'.

Further, as previously reported, all parties, not least Alberto Gonzales, the US Attorney General, who is bound by his oath of office to uphold the Rule of Law which has collapsed, are vulnerable under Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 1, Section 4, derived from English Common Law, labelled 'Misprison of Felony', whereby 'Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognisable by a court in the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same
to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this Title or imprisoned for not more than three years, or both'.

Additionally, Under USC Title 18, Part 1, 'Crimes, General Provisions', it is laid down under the heading 'Accessory after the Fact', that: 'Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact'.

'Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned for not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or [else] fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years'.

HIGH-LEVEL PARTIES EXPOSED TO VERY SEVERE CONSEQUENCES
The following parties are vulnerable to some or all of the above, notwithstanding (in some cases) inapplicable misconceptions to the contrary: President George W. Bush Jr; Dr Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board; Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States; Supreme Court Judges; senior officials at the US Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service [see below]; certain senior US legislators; the Chairmen and senior responsible executives of the Wall Street and other financial institutions, and of their trading counterparties, that have been engaged in fraudulent and illegal trading of those funds that belong to Ambassador Leo Wanta and to no-one else; and all brokers and other intermediaries working for the corrupt military-intelligence complex who have been engaged in off-balance sheet financial operations both domestically and offshore without declaring the resulting accruals for US tax, as is required under the Tax Equity and Fiscal responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) et seq., under which the US Internal Revenue Service taxes the global income of all American citizens – which means that all off-balance sheet accruals are taxable.

In this connection, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has failed in its duty to tax all American citizens equally, by evidently turning a blind and probably corrupt eye to the vast untaxed accruals of officials, broker/dealers, intermediaries and others that are stashed offshore. Some of these operatives may claim 'transactional immunity', but this can never apply to someone knowingly engaged in fraud or other felonies. And those concerned are doing this all the time.

The crisis facing the IRS is all the more critical because, as noted, the President of the United States and other holders of high office have wilfully prevented Ambassador Wanta from paying the taxes that he is legally bound to pay to the Treasury, so that a de facto tax amnesty situation has arisen. The prospective breakdown of orderly tax collection in the United States is accordingly another possible and ominous consequence of the lawless behaviour of all those concerned.

THE GEOPOLITICAL DIMENSION: A REAL THREAT OF WORLD WAR
But most ominously of all, diplomatic Chanceries, Central Banks, Cabinets and government officials around the world, especially Prime Ministers and Heads of State of the Governments that attended the G-8 Summit Meeting at St Petersburg in July, where The Wanta Plan was the primary topic of conversation behind-the-scenes, are seething at the appalling arrogance, blatant criminality and recklessness of the US Government and its senior officials, who seem to be hell-bent on inducing the collapse of the international financial system as a consequence of their illegal activities.

The fact that the indolent 'mainstream' media have failed so far to wake up to the millennial gravity of this transnational crisis (which is as expected), does not mean that the worst possible outcome may not ensue – since the entire international financial community is fully aware of what is going on, while the foreign governments concerned are all beside themselves in the face of Washington’s blatant organised criminal behaviour. The perpetrators may well believe that the culpable silence of the 'mainstream' media, which they control, gives them the protection that they crave, but they are certain to be sorely disabused of this illusion.

And of course the fact that no US official has so much as commented publicly on this crisis to date, illustrates the obvious reality that everything so far exposed is true. They cannot deny anything.

Of particular concern is the fact that President Putin and his Government are owed $30 billion under the Wanta Settlement, which the Ambassador is being illegally prevented from remitting because of the buffoonery of the US authorities. Since it is understood that US Air Force Generals are pushing for Iran to be bombed in the near future – the devastation wrought in Lebanon being considered a 'warming-up exercise', to sensitise the American people to what is being planned – these people may be courting a nuclear holocaust.

The reason for this is that the senior Military Intelligence (GRU) officer, Vladimir Putin, does not appreciate being double-crossed by his erstwhile colleagues in American intelligence; and so, since he has not been paid the $30 billion due to him, he cannot be relied upon to remain inactive should the US Air Force Generals get their way.

Therefore, the illegal, greedy, short-sighted and reprobate behaviour of the US authorities over the Wanta Settlement could literally be the fuse that precipitates the global nuclear catastrophe which these unfettered criminal gangs operating inside the US structures evidently consider to
be appropriate – unless the parties concerned come to their senses, if they are capable of it.
