The IMF, BIS, and World Bank

[cottonzway]

Vastly overlooked and unnoticed by people as they debate the financial crisis are the primary global bodies that control the world’s financial system. That would be the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

Here are there websites:

Document Moved (IMF, don't know why the link says "Document Moved)
The World Bank
Bank for International Settlements

I am sure this thread if it gets some replies will turn into what people think each of them do and there will be the usual argument over different opinions on that. I’m just trying to get people to look at them first because if you really want to understand what is going on with the world’s economy (not just in the US) these are the sites that you all should be checking everyday. Not political hacks sites or even respected financial sites. What happens with the world’s economy runs through those three global bodies. If you want to be informed I strongly suggest going to these sites daily as what is said there has much more impact then any other place you can go, regardless if you believe or trust what they are saying.

Also I would strongly suggest looking at what Joseph Stiglitz has to say. Again, regardless if you personally agree with him the info he provides is very important to understanding what is going on and what he has to say should be taken seriously as he was the former president of the World Bank and a Nobel Prize winner for his economic work.

It’s rather sad that these sites and organizations are not directly looked at when having the debates on economics. This is where people should be going for information to agree or disagree with.

Just been doing a bit of a dig around the internet just for fun ... and what do you know? :

The BIS mail servers are hosted by Message Labs (see robtex.com, put www.bis.org into the box at the top right-ish of the screen, and press go).

And guess who owns a part of Message Labs?? (see here: http://www.messagelabs.com/resources/news/17857).

Well what do you know ... the Rothschilds ... well I never ... crikey etc..

So could this mean that the BIS is really owned (or partly owned) ... by ... the ... nahhh ... couldn't be ... or could it???

schtick ... leaving with you earthlings with just a little smidgen of paranoia before you go to bed
