mr takanaka has talked telling me that he was forced to do it because

the united states threatened to hit japan with harp h-a-a-r-p if they didn't okay okay and what would

have been the impact of that i mean what tell us what what that meant to japan

earthquakes so i asked them is it true and i have this on tape too it says yes

you know we have to in order to protect the environment we need to reduce the world population to 2 billion and

war just doesn't do it so we're going to try to use disease and starvation i i use rockefeller as a abbreviation

for this group of inbred aristocratic families the american side versus the european

side right but i mean the bushes are part of it for example

i had two rings one was a mask of a devil with horns and the other looked

like a wedding ring and you go like this and there is a freemason mark

and he says he says he's horns he could put a little bit of poison on him touch me and i'd be dead and he tells me

he's a ninja which is a professional assassin he says to me mr fulford if you want to be you know

a muckraking journalist go ahead and do so but you will die at age 46.

however it gives me a big freemason badge

it says if you don't the other choice is you can become finance minister of

japan okay so he's offering me a choice from

death and the job of finance mystery that's how you describe it so you know we're looting these people's money

but we're not going to kill them and he said the population japan would be reduced to 70 million but they

would allow 70 million to live and they need about 500 million asians

to keep making toys and stuff you know she's describing you know massive genocide i guess a lot of people

at the very elite i'm sure it happens mr obama and clinton and anybody else at the high-level u.s politics that they're

someday or you know senators whatever they're given the same kind of ultimatum death or cooperation so either

you join us or you die and that's how they manage to control the united states

and enslave the american people and i had this great what i call my kill bill moment you know

there's a scene in the movie kill bill these two women fighting with swords it looks like it'll be a long nasty fight right i'm not gonna be sure who's the

winner right yes and but one of the woman the bad one has a has a one eye missing she has a patch

and suddenly she grabs the eye and blinds and ends unbelievable yeah

very very graphic very graphic but i thought hey why not just target the eye of the pyramid

because most westerners don't even know it exists uh i realize the society has six million

members and the western secret side the top is only ten thousand so it's six million

against ten thousand so suddenly i said well that's it wasn't it we can we got these bastards

i became the first westerner in 500 years to join a bodyguard at that point did you hire

someone no look if you need a bodyguard it's too late oh you have to operate at a higher level i

mean if they really want to shoot me they're going to shoot me uh you have to make them not want to shoot you

the key to democracy is control over money by the people not by a secret elite it's the money

that counts if you lose control over your money hand it over to people you can't see

you're a slave it's that's what you have to remember never ever again let some secret power elite

take control of your money away from you you know if they're going to try to kill

billions of people then we're going to have to kill 10 000 people in order to prevent that if necessary

and the arrangements have been made i'm carrie cassidy from project camelot

and we're really pleased to be here with ben fulford today former bureau chief asia pacific

for forbes magazine which is really fabulous you did that for six years i

understand yeah six and uh you've been living and working

as a writer and journalist in japan uh for 20 years more than that i first came in

1980 oh really i went to university oh i didn't know that okay so you went to the university of

tokyo or what's what's it called maybe i should give you my a brief background um i was born in ottawa canada

okay 1961 and when i was six months old my family moved to cuba my father was a canadian diplomat right

okay um he was kicked out uh by castro because he was helping all

these refugees escape um and i lived in mexico till i was eight

and then from eight to about 16 i lived in canada went to a french school so i grew up

speaking speaking three languages so you spoke you actually spoke spanish

and english as a child and then french you know from middle school i was on french so all

right and then you know i was at the tail end of the hippie era and i

was picking up like these echoes from the past that was going on and this is the street

wisdom as opposed to what you're learning in school and you know the word was that if you

went to university they just brainwashed you into being a consumer and

that you know there was something wrong with the world that the grown-ups had made was sort of the

zeitgeist at the time right and i decided that if i went to university i would also be brainwashed

so i decided to escape i went to the amazon i lived with some people indians

how old were you at that time when you were 17 really i mean that's incredibly gutsy to to do

something like that the amazon is very well i mean actually they were former cannibals

yeah so even yeah i have a lot of you know hair-raising experiences

machine guns in my head and also just stuff like that nearly eaten by a bear chased by the wolf so you went to the amazon you're you're

like 17 years old and you're not going to college did your parents have a problem with that

well i mean what could they do i mean i physically laughed and disappeared you know so you're just very

independent from a young age yeah i think i sort of

um i mean that you know spending nights out in the wilderness alone like

from age around 12 and stuff so wow uh it was for me it was just

really itching to go is it i mean did your fulford name because you know we know about like your

grandfather was uh you know this very well-known fulford was your family considered

uh um you know i don't know part of the ruling class in canada at that point i mean my great grandfather was you know

what would be today a billionaire and a senator and my grandfather was an mp member of

parliament for about 20 years and my father was the ambassador to different countries so you would be

considered something of a child of the elite at that point sure

at the same time i had a very unusual upbringing we were

taught very from a very young age you know to have a lot of empathy and uh

i was very disturbed by things i saw as a child in mexico in extreme poverty

i'll never forget when i uh was seven i met this kid on the streets and

we played and talked and he was the same height as me and the same mental level

and it turns out he was 12. i asked my mother how could that be and uh she said well he doesn't have

enough food to eat he said how could such a thing be allowed to happen you know

and it's happening right now to billions of people are not allowed to develop their human

potential they're not getting adequate education adequate nutrition medical care nothing

i mean it's a shame that such things are allowed to happen at the same time

when i was in the amazon you know it was a beautiful uh virgin

forest but they told me that in about five years it would be gone because the loggers were coming and i said what's you know what's out

there destroying the nature and leaving so many people suffering how could this be and

to me it was clear that and this is what you've got us you know in this third world in the street at the poor level there's

something wrong with the way the westerners were ruling the planet

um and so i decided finally after lots of about three and a half years of traveling

adventures and i you know to compensate for not going to university i read all the holy books the quran

the bible confucius you know the bhagavad gitas et cetera et

cetera great so you've studied you were you studying eastern philosophy say before you came to japan

um you had mystic stuff you know like meditating and and i mean like the iching have you read

that sure yeah okay all that kind of stuff right um and you know the

word on the street level was that something would have to come from the east to help us right

so i finally decided i'd go to university um in japan it was a choice from india

china and japan for various reasons i chose japan did you know at that point you were

going into economics i mean i'm assuming that was maybe your major i just wanted

to learn i didn't think about majors or jobs i just in fact i took every subject there is i think uh

right for economics sociology anthropology um math biology you name it

i took up to at least third year level courses in all the courses and all the subjects did you graduate

with a degree i eventually got a degree from the university of british columbia in

asian studies with the china area specialty

so you went to british columbia i went to associate university in japan for three

and a half years okay that was i took like i say about eight years worth of undergraduate

courses way more than i needed i mean how did you learn japanese

well uh two ways i arrived in japan i took a

two-month intensive course at the university of british columbia before coming and then i arrived in japan i spent

three days in english at a japanese school and i said this is useless i got a job as a bartender and a bar run

by a gangster it was from 9 00 p.m to 5 a.m and there's some sort of place where it had fights and sometimes people would come

in naked and very you know kind of lowest level of japan you could find basically but

the good thing about barca as a job for uh learning a language is

that drunks keep saying the same thing over and over again so you eventually pick it up

also i went to what's called futon university at least i had a girlfriend who didn't speak english oh okay combination i used to sort of speak

like a cross between a gangster and um transvestite you know

it's kind of uh either very womanly or very you know like low level street at this point that's

how you're describing your your ability to speak the japanese language less hilarious

i'm more or less able to carry on a fluent conversation after about six months wow that's great so do you write

japanese at all can you read it i've written i think over a dozen books in japanese oh right um and i have to know are your

books available in english because we didn't see that no i mean i haven't actually i you know i

i deliberately switched to japanese a few years ago after i left forbes because

i knew that i was dealing with something dangerous and i didn't quite understand what it was oh wow i remember being warned for

example by makiko tanaka the former foreign minister and the

daughter of president uh prime minister kakoe tanaka who was taken down in the lockheed

scandal she told me she said hey if you start looking into this stuff you're gonna get killed

so i knew that there was something very dangerous

i didn't know exactly what it was so i kind of went underground and started writing in japanese

at that point then could i just ask you that that stuff you referred to at that point what was

the stuff that you were starting to get into which you were warned about at that point what was the stuff

when i was at forbes i had already written several stories about the yakuza

and the gangsters and i got lots of death threats as a

result and uh now the

moscow bureau chief for forbes paul klebnikov was shot ten times you know outside of

his house and taken to the hospital putting the elevator and the elevator stopped for

eight minutes and that's where he died wow and what year was this do you know approximately five or six

years ago okay so you at the time were you working for forbes or you just left performance

he was from moscow i was a tokyo guy okay okay and around that time

some people from the osaki newspaper and pbs television came to me said that

the head of the goto crime syndicate was in ucl ucla berkeley

university hospital getting a liver transplant now this raises a lot of interesting

questions one is what is a you know known gangster and criminal doing getting a visa to the u.s

and why is a 70 year old guy like that getting bumped to the top of the long waiting list for liver transplants

so i started thinking well maybe he was doing some work for the cra or something and i was going to write this up in

forbes and uh before that i called up a very senior

gangster source i knew um and told him about this and he said hey if

you write that you're gonna get turned into fish paste what i don't you know i don't respond to

threats i said so we never threatened i said well i'm a well-known journalist if you kill them it would cause a lot of

trouble so we'll kill you you'll just disappear you'll say goodnight to your girlfriend and that's it you'll never be seen again

and then he named a couple of journalists who disappeared oh man now remember there was a guy for example who wrote

about how the goto gang was selling the old shinrikyo religious

sect was importing amphetamines from north korea and selling them to the goto gang

um and he disappeared after writing a few article articles

like that and some of the other has he ever been found no no a whole bunch of them disappeared

okay and a lot of the japanese journalists told me you know the only reason you're still alive is because

you're a white guy we if we tried to write that same kind of stuff we'd be dead um so i knew there was some dangerous

people and by the way after when this gangster guy when i told about the

liver transplant thing finally he said look i won't be able to talk to you again if you write that story and i thought

okay this guy is a very senior source he's given me a lot of valuable information and i don't want to lose

this connection over one story so i decided not to write the story but it was a very kind of bad atmosphere

and then i flew off to sahali what's that i'm saying in russia oh you

know the russian farce would have all the oil and gas now right to do a story and the local

representative of his gang was waiting for me he took me around and i was taken to a

giant casino with about 400 chechens standing outside

it was like something with a movie they all had new guns you know and they were hired by the japanese gang as bodyguards for their casino

and chechens kitchens yeah working for japanese gangsters no there's a lot of stuff going on that

you don't see in the surface right well we just got back from moscow actually

um so it's a fascinating place well you're so in asia you'll find that there's no real

line between gangsters and government it's all a continuum so you can almost think of well some would say that's true

of you know the us and russia and sure in the us i mean large parts of the cia

are basically organized crime what they're doing you know i mean large parts are honest

patriarch people trying to defend their country but there are groups in there that's you know as we all know they they

smuggle drugs and do all sorts of criminal stuff right

um so i'm sitting in this uh club and this guy's beside me he's

really not like the one i knew in tokyo he's like a very high level businessman this guy is a real thug really dangerous and you know not a nice

guy and he's very very tense i said listen i want to go home he says no no

you can't um you're going to be killed or something right and i just realized that i was being set

up for a hit oh my so i think quickly oh my god i point to these two uh oil maps

you don't have to worry about me see those guys are cia in their garden plus i have a file

i will go public if anything happens to me that names names and put you on jim

it was total bluff okay i didn't have any such fire and those guys were just oil men but you know uh what can i do and the guy just gets

up like a rocket run with the phone right now you know like and i pick up my phone i call a token i said

listen i'm not here to write about your dealings with russian gangsters and stuff i'm here to write about the oil industry i'm not going to cause

any trouble the guy comes back it's all relaxed i said okay good night and that's it

but something out of a movie yeah but you know they really did shoot the chechens really did shoot my colleague

now didn't they um that was after this happened to me but

so once that took place i did make a file and i still have it in hard disks and

dvds with voice recordings and videos uh for example

a well-known japanese prime minister has murdered three women and i have the proof in one of these um a lot of stuff like

that but my job is not to try to expose people okay that's not where i'm coming

from that's just insurance i had to take out i don't need that insurance anymore because i have this secret society

backing me but again my idea was not just trying to expose people

that's not the level i'm at anymore i'm trying to save the planet right so

this stuff will never come out probably ever as long as you know they don't kill me basically if they do they'll be

horrible repercussions of all sorts but again um i'm trying to make a win-win

situation for everybody okay so now we go back what when i just arrived in japan i want

to talk about that um well yeah but i i just i kind of wanted to get a nugget of what it it was

in your amazon experience that you kind of discovered like what did you what did you knowing

there well frugal you see what i did was

my thinking was for a fish does not know water exists until it jumps so to understand

civilization i had to leave it so i tried um different things

in the amazon they survived on fish and bananas so you have roast bananas and fish soup

or banana soup and roast fish or roast fish and roast bananas or you know you get the idea right right i got tired of it i said well why

don't we get some meat it's okay we'll go hunting spend all day in the jungle

don't get any don't catch anything come back we're hungry there's nothing to eat so we lose in

civilization that contact between our working and our eating and our surviving so we kind of so many

layers in between actually getting food from the earth and putting in our mouths that we don't

realize sometimes so that's the thing i learned there okay uh the other thing is that

these people are much simpler in their communications they don't they're very straightforward

they see exactly what they think so you you know say walk in the room and the first thing they think is hey you're fat don't sit

whereas in civilization it's much more complex they say oh you know uh oh you're looking healthy or

something you know they they try not to you know anyway so there's the mask is not so so

deep yeah and the other thing is they're well these people were former cannibals

so the elders all used to eat human meat when they were young and

it was they explained to me that in the rainy season they couldn't get enough fish so the only way to get protein was to

eat their neighbors now they survive with canned fish um

rainy season but uh okay but did you go there by yourself i just have to know yeah completely alone yeah i hitchhiked

and got in a boat and just kind of arriving unbelievable okay well you must have an incredible

strong personality i had read you know the teachings of don juan yeah right and

i was looking for a witch doctor okay to do an apprenticeship i see i actually found it with doctor

and did do an apprenticeship on amazon so that's some training in magic

yeah like you know i can purge river spirits and stuff for me if you need it you know okay herbs and plants and

right i did a lot of this stuff called ayahuasca which um oh that's like a trippy drug yeah at

the time there was almost nothing wrong about it in english right and like i said i had to go right up to the

upper reaches of the ukulele river and out to the finest people indians to find the stuff so you can imagine my surprise when i

see it for sale in the street here uh as a legal drug years later

uh which is here in tokyo yeah okay

that's interesting well there's no specific law against it but anyway um so fast forward you're here you're in

tokyo you've gone to college and did you go to apply for to work for

forbes at that point i don't know my first job um

was well i wanted to write a theory of everything um but you know you can't really pay the

bills that way so the first job i got with was with an outfit called knight ritter which was

part of the night riddle newspaper chains it was a but it was their financial wire so uh i would go and

meet finance ministers and governors of bank of japan and stuff and all the market news so

uh my stories would move the dollar or move the and remove the price of commodities

every week just back and forth and it's really amazing to see that

what i learned there as a financial market reporter is that it's really

finances mass psychology it's mob psychology um and that was a very interesting

lesson that you don't learn in the school club you know so you learned like the power of the written

word at that point right well you see information and how they all have this story that they're following and and they're

looking for slight changes for example you see governor of the bank japan says

well we might tighten interest rates a bit everything moves right

um or even for the commodity markets uh rumors that

china is going to buy oil or something like that cause everything to move um but tell me something about your

background because we listened to this interview with the canadian radio and and you show an incredible

understanding about the economy of the world really and how what makes it tick and i'm just

wondering where did you learn everything that you learned in that well of course i did all the you know the university classes

and stuff but basically for over 20 years i've been following it writing about it

i mean everybody comes through tokyo presidents prime ministers finance ministers they have their g7s and all

that stuff g7 is here right now as you may know i mean so yeah so i've been following it

um for over 20 years at the highest level and

i've been interviewing gangsters prime ministers finance ministers presidents of big

companies presidents of small companies you know just more than 20 years almost 30 years

interviewing all sorts so it's an education in itself i guess

interviewing as we find as a journalist you know you find that your job is a filter you suck in huge amounts

of information and then look for the nuggets uh that are easy to understand and convey

the essence and you give that to the public so so that's the job you know you're an information filter but there

are a lot of other financial journalists out there who are toeing the party line well this is categorically what you

haven't been doing you're a real maverick in this field well you see it's very high level

propaganda they're brainwashed they really really do not understand at the essence of what it's all about

and that's the trick they're trying to get people sidetracked into esoteric mathematics

and they try to cover it with lots of

complex words so you know they come up with these derivatives that are so

complex that most people don't even understand what they mean anymore like i remember even almost 15 years ago when we're

talking about delta hedge formations and you know and so they get into this stuff and it

blinds them it's like almost a deliberate you know uh confusion because at the essence it's

really very simple economics is people working to

earn their living and finance is a process of deciding what people will do

next and they try to not let us understand this

especially the part about finance and that is the the key to the world's problems now

so how did you as a journalist for forbes did was it gradual the way that you because

i can imagine if you have this knowledge that you have and you have this approach as a journalist don't you

didn't you get pushed back from forbes saying no don't write this or don't worry let me don't okay maybe i should give you

i'll i'll show you how i discovered things in chronological order maybe the easiest

way first thing i noticed in japan that

everything was not as it seemed was when i saw some people line up at a little booth

and i said what are you doing so we're exchanging our prizes for money from the pachinko

to the kind of slot machine and you find out that they have a huge gambling industry

with giant neon signs everywhere that's basically illegal and yet it functions

openly and with rules for example no matter how hard you could try it's going to be hard to lose more

than a thousand dollars a day at those places so here i have a whole system

outside of the legal framework and it connects policemen gangsters and

businessmen all outside of the so-called legal apparatus so this is something

that made me realize something was different about this country it was not just

a asian version of canada which on the surface it is they have the upper house the lower house you know

the courts and everything so structurally it's the same but in essence it's totally different

what i learned was that this so-called legal democratic system

was a front for a very different uh real power structure okay this is

something that i you know i learned in tidbits uh but the first was a potential another

one was a friend of mine got beaten up by a gangster in front of a police box we went to the police box and police box

guy said the policeman said you shouldn't pick fights with gangsters that's it um so again i said geez you know that's

weird but again i thought this was just related to gambling and prostitution which is kind of a gray area anywhere

anywhere really so yeah i didn't think much about it until as a financial journalist with the wire

service it's very important to be quick to be if you beat your competitors by 30 seconds it's considered a big scoop

right so you have to find out where the power comes from and talking for example to the bureaucrats at the agriculture ministry

they said well if you want to know what's really happening you talk to mr kato koichi kazoo he was a ldp power broker

and he was a man making decisions then and he once caught so i got to know him and he once i got called to as a pitcher for one of

his speeches and then he came up and made his speech he's very impressive and then he got a big fat envelope of

cash i said oh politics ah you know certain day and then i thought the

finance ministry was the real source of power japan that's what people believe it was the

most powerful bureaucracy but when i started talking to finance minister people

when i started talking to people at the finance ministry they told me finally if you really want to know what's going on

you have to go to no more securities and this was in the 80s it's different

now but in the 80s during the bubble numerous securities

had a vip list of 5 000 people and they had these two bosses the big

tabochi and the little tabuchi not related who were later proved to be connected to a big

crime gang but they would take all these journalists politicians come you know all you know sort of top movers

and shakers and they'd lend them a couple million dollars they say buy this stock and then

they would take every salesman in the country and all their journalistic connections

and say these are the stocks you got to buy now and every housewife and small businessman and doctor buy these stocks

the price would go up and the vips would sell so that was how they controlled politics

now you say it's different now so how is it different well there's different players different uh ways of handing out the

money um and in fact that is the the core of the

problem which we're dealing with do this step by step because it's easier to see the whole story then

so i got quite cynical about japan but the real

clincher for me was the the juice in housing loan scandal

this was a bunch of companies that lent only for real estate and

after the japanese bubble burst it was the first time they're going to

use taxpayer money by the way in 1992 the japanese

government already knew they had 200 trillion yen in bad debt but the newspapers only said two or

three trillion it wasn't until more than 10 years later they finally admitted the whole number

and that's what's happening in the u.s right now only they're not going to have 10 years because they didn't borrow from other americans

they borrowed it from the rest of the world so right you'll see huge changes there but we'll get to that

okay anyway this is a question i'd like to bookmark because i remember that you said to rent that you felt that

in your opinion the us debt was 120 trillion and i went and looked it up and i thought i wonder where that figure comes from so

i'd like to ask you that well i can tell you right now the the 66 trillion comes from the sen the

essay by a professor kilbourne that was published by the st louis uh

federal reserve board branch in 2005. and that's the money they owe to american citizens

um you know stuff they promised to pay like medicaid and uh social security and

things like that it's in that essay you can find it now the other 53 trillion

is the amount of dollars out in circulation so the u.s is the amount of i gotcha so add them together and you

get 120 trillion 120 yes yes i mean you've only got a gdp of

13 trillion well you know this this is where the whole scam unravels but we'll get to that but

it's um okay so this housing you've got the housing all right so here's the point is that

they were going i was working for the nihon keiseimbun at this point it's like the japanese wall street journal it's in

japanese but it's their number one business finance newspaper by far

and they were talking about pouring in tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer

money to bail out these companies and there were some weird discussions

about uh borrow a responsibility

borrow responsibly what's going on here and so i sort of said who are these

borrowers and it turns out this is my sources where people the bank of japan and

uh various other agencies like uh credit rating agencies that more

than half the loans were made to gangsters to yaguza gangs so

it was very to me it was amazing thing here we have the government using tens of billions of

dollars of taxpayer money to bail out uh companies that lent money to gangsters and they were all headed by

former finance ministry officials so you see a link now between the finance ministry officials

uh politicians and gangsters and they're using taxpayer money to give to the gangsters

right so uh i wrote this up in the english nikkei

and it was a huge reaction over 400 foreign journalists or magazines

wrote similar stories half the juice the housing loans were like two gangsters right

and then newsweek wrote a story almost identical to mine

and then the nikkei their own paper said according to newsweek half the loans to

the housing to the juice and companies or to yakuza and i went to the editor i

said hey i wrote that story first why do you say according to newsweek and they called me up and they gave me

the editor's award and fifty dollars and then they told me um mr fulford you

know you really shouldn't write stuff like that it's just not done and it could be dangerous

and after that they started watching me they would not let me write anything except the stuff the government announced wow

so this is after you left forbes you're writing before before i got to four oh before you got to forbes okay

right so i started to realize the japanese press was not at all free i see and uh you know it turns out

there was an editor at the nikkei mr otsuka who won a bunch of

awards for writing about the ito man scandal which and then he was suddenly sent off

to some weird subdivision removed from the reporting business and he got very suspicious he started

following the president around it turns out they lent like 100 million dollars to gangsters money that would never come back

and the ito man scandal was another huge

one which basically japan's one of japan's largest

banks a sumitomo bank had been taken over by a crime syndicate that's what the story really boiled down

to it's a long complicated thing but um

anyway i started to realize that the newspapers and the politicians and the bureaucrats

and the gangsters were all in together in some kind of

crooked power structure that was totally different from what people were seeing on their television they're reading in their newspapers

and i got totally disgusted when they started suppressing my stories

so i quit the nikkei i worked as a freelancer for us i was trying to morning post a bunch of places

before i got the job with forbes okay uh and at first the people at forbes were

happy to let me write stories about gangsters uh i did one on public works i got a

formal letter of protest from the japanese embassy in washington which is i thought you know good night guys i hit

a sore point right um and then it was another story i did

when they were finally starting to clear up the bad debt with the banks i was finding all sorts

of people were dying and this is either committing suicide

or you know disappearing whatever but it was not a typical what you call

hierarchy suicides where you did something bad and you kill yourself to apologize it was people who were gonna

testify people who were going to uh

yeah i mean prosecute people for example the there was a financial scandal and

the president of daichi kangyo bank which is now part of mizuho uh

was due to testify the day before he was going to testify at 11 o'clock at night his wife left the house

and about 10 men in black clothing showed up the lights turned off then they left

and around one am the wife came home and he was dead uh and they said it was a suicide now

this came from the english version of the young beauty newspaper it did not appear in the japanese

version okay now so i then

at this point i made lots of gangster connections because i realized that to understand what's going on in finance you need to

not talk to gangsters otherwise you don't know what else going on at all okay uh

and so there was a bank called the nippon credit bank that turned into aozora bank uh

i think it's now owned by some one of those u.s hedge funds maybe carl i can't remember to check but anyway

um the director from the bank of japan mr honma was made president two weeks later he was found hung they

said it was a suicide and i knew this guy from when i used to cover the bank of japan there's no way he

could have committed suicide so i asked my gangster buddy he said well i'll check out with the guys down in

osaka and he calls him and i meet him again he says well what happened was they pointed a gun at

him told him to write his will and they injected with the sleeping drug and they hung him

and like of course i cannot write a story based on an anonymous gangster and i knew he was a gangster because i had a

detective agency confirm for me he really was what he said he was a senior boss of one of the biggest gangs um

so i called the hotel and they where they found his body and said yeah well you know the place they found the body

where there's nowhere to hang himself from right so i called the police and said we said he found the body by the window but

there's nowhere to hang himself by the window so they please change it say oh well we found him in the bathroom

and there was a japanese uh tv personality in the room next door mori kumiko or kumikomori she is

in japan she does the voice of pikachu you know from the uh what is it pocket monsters oh yeah

pokemon anyway she's well known in japan and she wrote in her blog that there was screaming and moaning in the room next

door and she couldn't sleep and there was no way that could have been a suicide

i confirmed that with her manager uh and apparently he was killed because

a bunch of loans to north korean credit cooperatives he was going to call him as bad loans

and if he did that he would have exposed a huge north korean ruling party

underground link the north koreans have been sending pachinko money to japan

importing amphetamines doing all sorts of stuff and to get the police to turn the blind eye they paid huge bribes to

the ruling party over the years uh so did you write about this

i wrote it in forbes yeah yeah that's there um although you know the editors were such chickens that they really took a lot of

that out of that story but it's still there you can still find it so i started digging deeper but then

suddenly forbes starts putting pressure on me i had a story about ge doing some very

funky accounting here involving billions of dollars you know they killed it without explanation

and then citigroup was kicked out of japan for you know money laundering uh for

gangsters they were kicked out and that story didn't run right

um and finally what for me was the last straw was

the antivirus software company paid a guy to make a virus a computer

virus right and i talked to the guy who made the virus you know and there's something some guy living in a filipino slum but

he's got a brand new 20 000 car you know anyway they said to me

well this guy is the president of the company is a friend of mr forbes and he bought a lot of advertising

and so we're not running his story oh so they told you that they actually told you that well the editor told me

that you know we have problems with your facts mr fulford you know

fact-checking this is their their trick they raised the hurdle higher and higher facts for example you saw them in bed

together are you sure that doesn't mean you're making love was there a blanket on top no there's no blanket

well did you see the actual penetration well no his butt was in the way oh well then we don't know you can't confirm it sorry that's that's

their trick that's how they train the corporate media they they raise the effect but anyway

the business manager told me for the real reason okay that the advertising and stuff so you

know i get one thing from the editor another thing for the business manager so uh i got totally disgusted and

alienated right and so after that the quality of my work at forbes degenerated because i just didn't give a

damn and i was going to quit i was getting ready to quit i mean at that point a a book of mine

appeared in japanese became a best seller so i didn't need the income a book about what well just the first

this isn't the rockefeller one isn't it no no no no this is stuff that came out a long time some of the stuff i just

told you uh about the murders and the other stuff going on was it about japanese corruption

um and a lot of people in japan were you know

knew something like this was going on and so anyway i wrote several best sellers like that so i had

an independent income but what really made things click for me

was i was on a tv debate show with some of japan's top politicians

and i said these are the guys running this country come on you got to give me a break

they're retards i'm sorry to say this but they're not high caliber okay i'm

debating them so what on earth is going on now i know of course they're just actors reading the script but at the time i thought

you know my god i could do better and then i suddenly was like it was too enormous

the thought but i realized oh my god the japanese have five trillion dollars in overseas

assets that's enough money to end poverty and stop environmental destruction

well why don't they use it and i decided hell you know i could become a cynical

alcoholic you know foreign correspondent old fart like i see so many of at the foreign correspondence club you know who

just their careers plan out and they just spend years coasting along and getting bitter and cynical

right i said no hell with that i'll become a japanese citizen i'll try to run for office and i'll try

to convince them to use this money to save the world you know that makes so

much sense but um

at the same time though i was very confused and bitter right and i wasn't you know so another part of me was

saying well you should write a book about japan

and then leave the country and go to hollywood try to become a scriptwriter or something so that's two

conflicting ideas in my mind you know i had that one idea but it's just too big and two is no no you know it just can't

be real right but so i wrote two chapters that would have really named names you

know specific politicians specific crimes specific gangsters uh it would have been so

much of an expose that would i would have had to either leave japan or be killed after the book was published

the very day after i sent two chapters to my agent in english i got a call from the

granddaughter of the meiji emperor karu nakamaru and she said to me

you know mr fulford you really should not get the yakuza angry and are you sure that's what you really

want to do is there something else you'd rather do in this you know why is this lady calling me at this timing and she tells me that a goddess had

contacted her through the astral plane and was worried about me

but turns out the goddess was the japanese security police um but you know whatever

she still insisted to go only one time but she told me it was the police every other time she says a goddess but anyway it doesn't matter

it was the timing and what you really want to do is that something else and i realized yes you

know i want to save the world and unlike so many people want to do that

i actually had a concrete method this was five trillion dollars that's enough money and

you can't take that money out of the u.s because that would ruin the us economy so you have to

pay americans to do it right so that they benefit as well otherwise you know in the past what happened is if a

japanese politician threatens to take that money out of the u.s well then the u.s is getting really angry and

trying to crush that politician right so i think okay we will do it in situations benefit too

then they can't complain and this is what i sort of said i started

writing books along the lines why don't the japanese save the world okay and

but what the what happened though you see this um meiji emperor's granddaughter

handed me a 9-1-1 video and said look mr fulford you know all

about the corruption in japan well you have no idea about the corruption in the world

right okay and when she gave me that i was shocked i said oh my god i read about this in

the new york times this is some anti-semitic thing i'm not gonna look at that you know

because we've all been trained anti-semitic equals

nazi which equals gas chambers right and you don't want to be involved

with people who want to kill millions of innocent people right so this is the sort of thinking i had so i

wasn't even look at it because i had it all associated and she kept calling me did you watch it no did

you watch it finally oh man i'll watch 10 minutes so i can tell it i watched it and when i did

it was like the scales fell off my eyes as they say in japanese it's like remember i was a financial journalist

for a long time and because so many people read what you write it moves markets so you have a constant

barrage of people trying to feed you bs information which means you build very high immunity to false information okay

so i knew i mean i you know this is something very very weird

because and the problem most people at the high level of western society have

with the 911 thing is they say well no because

i don't care what evidence they show me there's no way on earth that new york times washington

post bbc wouldn't be reporting this you know because to accept that it was a

cabal in the us government that did this it means to accept that the entire belief system you have about

your society is wrong but having experienced what i did at forbes with censorship

and what i knew about the japanese corruption so you know i started to do the research

find out what's been going on here and the answer is essentially that

european society is not really democratic anymore it's a plutocracy combined with

an aristocracy and the democracy is kind of a way of

keeping tabs on the sheep sentiment you know keeping them giving them a way to vent

their frustrations within very restricted boundaries this is so

uh you know there's many different words out there that people use

and it makes it very hard a lot of people have trouble even now believing this stuff so but what i'm

able to do is i can show you within the normal matrix of financial

reports wall street journal stuff how to trace it

okay and what you need to do and what i did finally to figure this out is you go back to 1918

edition of forbes and their first rich list and you'll find that seven of the

the top 10 richest americans controlled 70 of the money in the country uh john

rockefeller the first was worth about

30 billion in today's money and i think he controlled 25 percent of all

the wealth in the u.s at the time what happened was the reason why the

rockefellers did not appear as so rich in the forbes list and remember i was you know one of

my jobs was to identify billionaires and count their money was because it's put in as a charitable

foundation and in fact they have hundreds of them

rockefeller carnegie brookings you know hudson's the whole alphabet soup of them but

each generation of the rockefeller families and the other families the morgans which are the bush you know

people and stuff you can see that they inherit the power

they still control that money and they have a system that each generation has one person in charge so

it's like a kind of hidden aristocracy instead of inheriting land they inherit

assets and everybody who works within those assets is like a peasant working on the lord's estate

so if you work for standard oil you're a rockefeller surf in a way

because they have the ultimate okay that's the rockefeller side of things are you also able to trace it from the

ross rothschilds the european side yeah um now the rothschild thing

goes back 300 years basically i think this is well-known stuff but i can summarize it for you you know it was the

the first roth child to appear set up in frankfurt with a red shield he

changed his name red shield right rothschild uh and the

local king was gonna get involved in a war and rothschild said i'll lend you a

bunch of money and if you win

if you lose you don't have to pay me back if you win i'd like to be your banker

and of course when he had all this extra money he could hire lots of more extra soldiers and he won

and here we have the beginning of a link between royalty and finance kings like wars

wars cost money um and the process of intermarriage between

these financial and aristocratic families began that is you know well it's been going on for 300 years

but the next big thing is we go to he had five sons they're set to different parts of europe and they had

you know they were only bankers to kings they they tried to you know with the very highest level and nathan rothschild

i went to england you started out buying um cloth and silent and then you started

you know realizing if i control the die makers and the cloth makers put it all together

i can make more profit so he was a exporting british textiles at first he got richer richer

and uh his big big coup came in the battle of waterloo

where the british exchange everyone was wondering you know if the british were going to win or lose right and they knew the

rothschilds had very fast information quicker than anyone else my assumption is they were involved in

insider trading with the king okay because

suddenly rothschild started selling everything just sell whatever you got sell sell sell and everyone said oh my god the british

lost the british lost and stuff that was worth a hundred would fall down like two or three and everyone panicked oh my god it'll

sell while you have a chance you know we're gonna we're all gonna be you know napoleonic slaves anyway

uh and then when it fell down he started buying it all up and the news came the british won and it

had been 100 rose to 200 and he controlled most of british wealth after that time and he said i don't care you know the

famous quote i don't know the exact words but what fool sits in the crown of england whoever controls the money in england

controls england and i control the money of england however you know um

i think the rothschilds had a very deep religious convictions and

were at heart fairly decent people the reason i say that is because although they they apparently financed

and engineered the u.s revolution in 1776 with the east india company money

they also financed and engineered the meiji reforms but these are good things you know in

many ways um canada was always been rothschild territory and canada is a very nice

country you know uh so i don't think they're the

same level i mean they did a lot they had their system was basically you know

uh ancient babylonian royalty and this is where it gets really

weird and esoteric but um it goes back five thousand seven hundred

and seventy one years the rothschilds used to say they're descendants of nimrod who

conquered the peoples of babylonia they were um hurting people pastoral people and they

conquered the people of babylonia or present-day iraq and they

said well isn't there some way we can herd people the way you heard sheep and they came up with the system

you have to control their food supply you have to control their information supply and you have to have means of violence

to discipline them and this was the start of the bible the old

testament was they they took all the different stories people had and put it in one story

and this is the only story of people allowed to have
