Notice re Money Fraud/Corruption

The public knows you have been contacted by Karen Hudes [please visit http://kahudes.net/ ] -- in some cases, numerous times -- and that you are aware of the vast fraud and corruption of the World Bank, a microcosm of the corruption that has continued unabated at every level of our economic system.

Karen Hudes -- a 20-year World Bank attorney -- is courageous enough to do her job ethically and to practice her moral and professional responsibility by notifying all possible in the chain of command all the way to the U.S. Congress and beyond. Thanks to Ms Hudes, all U.S. counties via the National Association of Counties and their financial officers, all U.S. governors through the National Governorsʼ Association, all Senators, as well as important leaders of other countries know this is the line in the stand for Rule of Law -- to bring true justice to the people of this planet!

I, personally, have been in communication with the United States Congress, Attorneys General, Treasury Secretary, Internal Revenue Service, US Judges and courts, et al, in various forms of communication to address the suffering so many of my fellows have gone through and are increasingly enduring unnecessarily, but by the greed of a few at the top of the ʻfood chain.ʼ This addresses quality of life, resources, and real and personal property of the good people of this country that has been compromised and placed in serious jeopardy.

This is a matter of natural law -- as well as the Rule of Law. It is with this premise that I pose my question: where, if ever, has there been any discovery in Oregon, in the FRAUD being committed as DERIVATIVES? When will you hold accountable those who are stealing our resources, our homes, our labor, our childrensʼ futures, our life savings, our hard-earned money? Through ever-escalating taxation and inflation (ʻhiddenʼ taxation) you pretend the dollar is money while you use digits ad infinitum (“currency” of the insiders?). Not holding them accountable, implies collusion and therefore, criminality.

Those of you named are standing, by oath according to the Rule of Law, and sworn to protect our Constitution and Bill of Rights -- which were originated to protect the people of this land. How is this working?

R.I.C.O. via ʻInternational Bankersʼʻ is found in the British Accredited Registry [B.A.R.]* licensed ʻattorneysʼ that pay dues to a foreign entity? The U.S. Constitution requires Americaʼs Rule of Law must be honored. ʻBlowing the whistleʼ on corruption in due process is a moral obligation of everyone. All the FRAUD, continuing in the Court/s:

Bankruptcy, Circuit, U.S. District, et al, the criminal violations are to be ceased-desisted and stopped immediately.

Because of its negligence, the Federal Reserve has lost our consent, therefore the states need to proceed without it. When there is a wound, the bleeding needs to be stopped. In this case, a tourniquet?

Please answer where you, as responsible representative, stand on the following?

1.     Oregon and every state needs to declare gold and silver -- as well as every possible diversity in trade and exchange -- as money, aka legal tender.

2.     To preserve our country and our allies, we must cut ties to the Federal Reserve.  Paying debt with debt doesnʼt work! Zero + 0+interest = 0

3.     We must initiate a usury-free credit issuer of electronic units in every city/county/state -- aka, social credit -- free from the Fed. End this incarceration!

4.     Familiarize and practice Article I, Sec IX, Clause 7; also Clause 4 [unratified] without exception!

5.     Hold your fellow legislators and political colleagues accountable: all of Senate knows; all strategic committees in the House know; all governors, Attorneys General, the National Governorʼs Association and top Financial Officers know; all county executives (Natʼl Assoc of Counties) know; the Federal Reserve knows; and all the treasury departments of all the countries know.

We all know of the corruption and are suffering daily because of it!

6.     The financial officers of our state must protect from passing along the corruption.

7.     There must be a Constitutional Convention -- available to all, as well as on the internet -- scheduled post haste. Attention must be paid!

I am very concerned and feel it is the moral responsibility of our Congress, Governors, lawmakers, representatives -- of every American citizen! -- and of every Oregonian to honor and uphold the integrity of their offices and of our birthright.

Wars and currency wars are not in anyoneʼs best interest but the very individuals whom have already stacked the deck in their favor, thus setting up the greatest transfer of wealth in our known history. It is not the homeowners who are either losing or at risk of losing their homes, but the evictors who are the criminals! Our vital resources -- air and water, are being stolen by IGOʼs and Public Private Partnerships -- all in the name of “best practices” management.

Awaken swindled and swindlers all! I urge renewed integrity and moral fortitude to our nationʼs citizens and to the citizens of the world by immediately clearing this mess up -- in full and total transparency!

I am faxing this to the aforementioned and copied as noted below to Karen Hudes. A response is immediately expected according to due process law.

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/

       KHudes web bio, brief history: pgs 4-8 * Not in compliance is the British Accredited Registry [B.A.R.] UNITED KINGDOM EMPLOYEES? See Karen Hudesʼ 3/6/13 discussion re Enron wherein the S.E.C. discovered World Bank shareholders -- a cooperative of 188 countries and which gets money by issuing bonds -- were left totally in the dark.

Who is Karen Hudes?

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

What did Karen Hudes blow the whistle on?

In 2007 Karen warned the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules. The 66 year old Gentlemen’s Agreement that Europe would appoint the Managing Director of the IMF and US would  appoint the World Bank President ended in 2010 http://www.imf.org/external/np/ cm/2010/042510.htm

In 1999 Karen reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in thePhilippines. Lucio Tan, a crony of Joseph Estrada, then President of the Philippines, acquired stock owned by government employees in Philippines National Bank (“PNB”) valued more than 10% of PNB’s outstanding capital without disclosure, as required by Philippines securities laws. Tan owned Philippines Airlines, in default on its loans from PNB. The government of the Philippines loaned $493 million to PNB after PNB’s depositors made heavy withdrawals. $200 million of a loan from the World Bank and a $200 million loan from Japan were cancelled. Estrada was ultimately impeached, and in 2007 an anti-corruption court in the Philippines required Estrada to refund graft he had plundered. The Bank’s Country Director in the Philippines reassigned Karen when she asked him to sign a letter warning the Philippines’ government that the Bank could not disburse its loan without a waiver from the Board of Executive Directors since the loan conditionality was not met. The World Bank’s Internal Audit Department refused to correct the satisfactory evaluation of the Bank’s supervision performance or the flawed report of the Institutional Integrity Department to the Audit Committee of the Board of Executive Directors. When the Audit Committee requested an audit of internal controls over financial reporting, KPMG, the external auditors, circumscribed the scope of their audit in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.

Two days after informing the Board’s Audit Committee of the cover-up in the Philippines, Karen was reprimanded and placed on probation. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the World Bank’s Audit Committee to look into the cover-up. 

Instead, the Chair of the World Bank’s Audit Committee requested an inquiry into the World Bank’s Institutional Integrity Department. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations followed up with three letters to the World Bank. The World Bank forged documents and fired Karen in contempt of Congress. The World Bank also fired the Staff Association’s lawyer. The Staff Association stated that what had happened to Karen had damaged staff morale and prevented others from reporting misconduct. The World Bank’s Ethics’ Officer left in frustration after her request for an investigation by the World Bank’s Institutional Integrity Department was turned down.

Mr. Paul Volcker headed the 2007 inquiry into the Institutional Integrity Department.

The Volcker Panel was discredited after sixteen staff employed in the Institutional Integrity Department received significant damage awards in compensation for abuses of authority to intimidate them during the Volker Panel investigation. A staff-member of the EU’s anti-fraud agency, Office Lutte Anti-Fraude, on the Volcker Panel wrote to Karen:

“My Director General and I met with a number of European Executive Directors of the World Bank a few weeks ago to discuss the Volcker Panel report. At the meeting there was also discussion about governance issues. My impression was that the European Executive Directors are well apprised of all relevant issues at the Bank and no further comment by OLAF is warranted even if it was within our legal competence.”

Karen informed Senator Bayh, “[t]he ongoing cover-up is an indictment of the probability of US oversight at the Bank and I would encourage the Senate to request GAO to look into it.” Senators Richard Lugar, Evan Bayh and Patrick Leahy requested GAO to investigate “internal resistance to increased transparency and accountability at the World Bank.” http://citizenoversight.com/pdf/blwb.pdf In 2008 Karen’s Congressman, Representative Chris Van Hollen, noted “that [Karen's] claims and concerns have already been provided to the GAO…. and to the relevant congressional committees.” In 2009 GAO stated that it could not commence the inquiry “because of challenges we recently faced in gaining access to World Bank officials.” Senator Lugar asked what was delaying the GAO review during hearings on the World Bank’s capital increase.

Mr. Pieter Stek, then Executive Director for the Netherlands, and Chair of the Board Committee on Development Effectiveness, said:

“In a multilateral institution which should be governed by the rule of law and high standards of probity the charge of concealment from the Board of Executive Directors of information relevant to the exercise of its duty of supervising management and the persecution of the person who brings this to light is extremely serious. If correct, which I believe, this poisonous cocktail undermines good governance and ultimately the effectiveness of the Bank in fulfilling its mandate.  I shall continue to assist Ms. Hudes in her efforts to have due process brought to bear, preferably by the Bank itself, on these issues of governance.”

David Brooks wrote:

“Then there are violations, when someone intentionally breaks the rules. Errors can be very hard for outsiders to detect. It was people inside the companies who were most likely to report fraud, because they have local knowledge. And yet 80 percent of these whistleblowers regret having reported the crimes because of the negative consequences they suffered. This is not the way to treat people who detect error.”
