According to court documents, Danske Bank defrauded U.S. banks regarding Danske Bank Estonia’s customers and anti-money laundering controls to facilitate access to the U.S. financial system for Danske Bank Estonia’s high-risk customers, who resided outside of Estonia – including in Russia. The Justice Department will credit nearly $850 million in payments that Danske Bank makes to resolve related parallel investigations by other domestic and foreign authorities. Continues further down.

The culture of deception: Where scared cockroaches are running around on slippery walls in deep canyons.
An ugly furrow runs through the landscape. It's deep, it's wide and it's ugly. It stands out from the rest of the landscape. This is the landscape of betrayal. This is the landscape of the Power. A small person can go down there and get lost and be lost. I saw such a landscape in my life. It extended from the Ministry of Justice into the church; among men; in people's homes; on people's phones.
You are only a democratic citizen as long as the State wants you to be. If it finds out you're not supposed to be then you can become a cockroach running around the walls of this big and deep canyon, afraid of being beaten to death. Because the fist of power hangs over this cockroach. And it knows and recognizes this shadow coming from this fist far up there somewhere.
The culture of deception, that is what much of democratic society consists of. Fraud! And when some wise heads with their attention intact realize that here there are not flowers and green meadows, but deep canyons and scared cockroaches, then the Power will come after you. Then it's time to hide down in the dark caves where the Power can't reach you. For even power has its limitation; it thinks it can do everything, but that is just a delusion.
I am sitting outside the church in the small coastal town of Guardamar del Segura in the province of Valencia in Spain. It is Saturday, September 3, 2022. I am sitting in the shade overlooking the library on the other side of the narrow street here. I'm sitting in the shade and it's hot and it's six thirty in the afternoon. I had walked from my residence down by the sea up here, a quick walk of fifteen minutes.
Kafka's novels are nothing against this here. This is very concrete. It cannot be more concrete than what I have experienced. I have even touched the backbone of democratic society.
They tell us it is something else; they tell us it is the King and the Queen and the Crown Prince and Parliament and the Supreme Court and the Legislature. But it is not! It's a soft part that does what it wants.
They kill! Killing people! Ruining people's lives. (Found out I didn't like cell phones and they created a cell phone hell.) This is sixteen times worse than Nazism. This is an ongoing part of the democratic structure; lawlessness is their first name, death and destruction is their last name.
For these people laws do not exist! Not human rights. Nothing! Only soft spine. This is the realm of fraud. The kingdom of lawlessness. This is the culture of fraud above all else. Protected by trillions of money this machinery is kept going.
Today, people are pumped full in their heads by a lie called "climate change." Anyone who can think knows that it is not the climate problems that is the problem but the form of government in the fraud culture. That keeps it all going. That's where it begins. The fraud begins from within! It doesn't start from the outside. The betrayal comes from within, from the soft spine. From those who think they can do everything and understand everything and know everything and have money for everything. And kill whoever they want. From there comes the tragedy.
It does not come from the melting snow and the rising seas; it is a consequence. It is a consequence of the culture of fraud that permeates society so completely that people do not see it. They only see the effect of the fraud and call it "climate change". While the fraud itself has taken place and continues all the time.
So, what is the scam? It is a failure of character and a failure of attitude. It is easier to fall down on the wrong side and play with the devil than to stand upright and admit that there is a God. And it is written that there will be unbearable conditions on earth, and if those days were not shortened, no human will survive. So, here we have the answer.
Is this being reported on the news every night? No! Why not? Because the news machinery is subject to the culture of deception and will therefore continue to promote “climate changes” instead of revealing deception.
Warning Lamps are Flashing!
And now. Warnings lamps are flashing, as nuclear powered nations seek to preserve an imagined threshold over an even more imaginary enemy. The people who brought us complete shame in Afghanistan are the very same people who now have control over the keys to the depots in Europe that store B61-12 thermo nuclear gravity bombs. The collapse of Western logic in Afghanistan and Ukraine is the fuse which can bury human dignity!
Monuments Carved in Granite on Barren Fields.
When one talks about Life, it is pertinent to ask, what life does one mean? The entire life, or just selected parts of it? The parts that we like and prefer and leave the rest not to be mentioned? The person who says she “loves me”, but ignore everything that I have achieved after I came out of the hospital?
The people who will walk a mile with me, but say “no thank you” to carry my burden and walk another mile? The ones who never invited me for a cup of tea, but proclaim seriously that I am a “friend”? The ones who admire their own achievements highly, but never had time to visit me once? What life are they adhering to? The one in parts, or the one in totality?
A warning sign for our time.
I want to be seen in totality; I do not want that my life be selectively butchered and twisted into something it is not. My articles are monuments in stone in a barren landscape devoid of humanism. They are there to warn and to encourage, but not to be neglected.
In today’s vain world, where it has become so increasingly popular to talk IN a mobile phone, instead of empathizing WITH and showing human DIGNITY; where one is accustomed to appreciating media hype, political lies, lack of responsibilities leading to mass starvations and mass death; in such a world and coldness between people, the abnormal has become the trend, and sadly this is what we adhere to.
In such an inter human setting, the message is clear, why bother to respect the other person right in front of ourselves. It is so much easier to babble because the spoken word carries no longer any commitment, it is free, it does not cost anything to say this or the other. Life is easy when one is free not to engage in another person’s life-and-death experiences, when it is so much more convenient to look at a movie.
People who ignore monuments carved out in granite on barren fields are confirming themselves to the believes of death and destruction. We who write and warn have the humanistic right to say this. It is our task in life. Not to be kind to death and destruction, but to admire and encourage Life. We expect the same from others as we expect from ourselves. And if “the other” fail, we must go forward alone, and warn. That is our destiny.
