World Bank Insider Blows Whistle on Corruption, Federal Reserve
A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.
Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”
According to the peer-reviewed paper, which presented the first global investigation of ownership architecture in the international economy, transnational corporations form a “giant bow-tie structure.” A large portion of control, meanwhile, “flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.” The researchers described the core as an “economic ‘super-entity’” that raises important issues for policymakers and researchers. Of course, the implications are enormous for citizens as well.
Hudes, an attorney who spent some two decades working in the World Bank’s legal department, has observed the machinations of the network up close. “I realized we were now dealing with something known as state capture, which is where the institutions of government are co-opted by the group that’s corrupt,” she told The New American in a phone interview. “The pillars of the U.S. government — some of them — are dysfunctional because of state capture; this is a big story, this is a big cover up.”
At the heart of the network, Hudes said, are 147 financial institutions and central banks — especially the Federal Reserve, which was created by Congress but is owned by essentially a cartel of private banks. “This is a story about how the international financial system was secretly gamed, mostly by central banks — they’re the ones we are talking about,” she explained. “The central bankers have been gaming the system. I would say that this is a power grab.”
The Fed in particular is at the very center of the network and the coverup, Hudes continued, citing a policy and oversight body that includes top government and Fed officials. Central bankers have also been manipulating gold prices, she added, echoing widespread concerns that The New American has documented extensively. Indeed, even the inaccurate World Bank financial statements that Hudes has been trying to expose are linked to the U.S. central bank, she said.
“The group that we’re talking about from the Zurich study — that’s the Federal Reserve; it has some other pieces to it, but that’s the Federal Reserve,” Hudes explained. “So the Federal Reserve secretly dominated the world economy using secret, interlocking corporate directorates, and terrorizing anybody who managed to figure out that they were having any kind of role, and putting people in very important positions so that they could get a free pass.”
The shadowy but immensely powerful Bank for International Settlements serves as “the club of these private central bankers,” Hudes continued. “Now, are people going to want interest on their country’s debts to continue to be paid to that group when they find out the secret tricks that that group has been doing? Don’t forget how they’ve enriched themselves extraordinarily and how they’ve taken taxpayer money for the bailout.”
As far as intervening in the gold price, Hudes said it was an effort by the powerful network and its central banks to “hold onto its paper currency” — a suspicion shared by many analysts and even senior government officials. The World Bank whistleblower also said that contrary to official claims, she did not believe there was any gold being held in Fort Knox. Even congressmen and foreign governments have tried to find out if the precious metals were still there, but they met with little success. Hudes, however, believes the scam will eventually come undone.
“This is like crooks trying to figure out where they can go hide. It’s a mafia,” she said. “These culprits that have grabbed all this economic power have succeeded in infiltrating both sides of the issue, so you will find people who are supposedly trying to fight corruption who are just there to spread disinformation and as a placeholder to trip up anybody who manages to get their act together.… Those thugs think that if they can keep the world ignorant, they can bleed it longer.”
Of course, the major corruption at the highest levels of government and business is not a new phenomenon. Georgetown University historian and Professor Carroll Quigley, who served as President Bill Clinton’s mentor, for example, wrote about the scheme in his 1966 book Tragedy And Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time. The heavyweight academic, who was allowed to review documents belonging to the top echelons of the global establishment, even explained how the corrupt system would work — remarkably similar to what Hudes describes.
"The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole,” wrote Prof. Quigley, who agreed with the goals but not the secrecy. “This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."
But it is not going to happen, Hudes said — at least not if she has something do to with it. While the media are dominated by the “power grabber” network, Hudes has been working with foreign governments, reporters, U.S. officials, state governments, and a broad coalition of fellow whistleblowers to blow the entire scam wide open. There has been quite a bit of interest, too, particularly among foreign governments and state officials in the United States.
Citing the wisdom of America’s Founding Fathers in creating a federal system of government with multiple layers of checks and balances, Hudes said she was confident that the network would eventually be exposed and subjected to the rule of law, stopping the secret corruption. If and when that happens — even if it may be disorderly — Hudes says precious metals will once again play a role in imposing discipline on the monetary system. The rule of law would also be restored, she said, and the public will demand a proper press to stay informed.
“We’re going to have a cleaned-up financial system, that’s where it is going, but in the meantime, people who didn’t know how the system was gamed are going to find out,” she said. “We’re going to have a different kind of international financial system.... It’ll be a new kind of world where people know what’s going on — no more backroom deals; that’s not going to keep happening. We’re going to have a different kind of media if people don’t want to be dominated and controlled, which I don’t think they do.”
While Hudes sounded upbeat, she recognizes that the world is facing serious danger right now — there are even plans in place to impose martial law in the United States, she said. The next steps will be critical for humanity. As such, Hudes argues, it is crucial that the people of the world find out about the lawlessness, corruption, and thievery that are going on at the highest levels — and put a stop to it once and for all. The consequences of inaction would be disastrous.
THE INTERPRETER
Adam Holland Karen Hudes – RT’s “Whistleblower” Who Believes World Bank Controlled By Second Species April 22, 2014
Reporters love nothing more than a source with important inside information about the secret operations of a powerful institution. For the public, the word “whistleblower” evokes the individual citizen putting themselves at risk to stop wrongdoing by an employer. It’s a powerful idea – one justifiably lauded both in fiction and fact, and protected and encouraged by a set of federal laws set up precisely to encourage such heroic behavior. But not all whistleblowers are created equal. In fact, there is a business model based entirely on former employees couching in the terminology of whistleblowing falsehoods motivated either by self-interest or paranoid delusion.
Meet Karen Hudes, whose bio says she worked as an attorney at the World Bank from 1986-2007, during which time, she says, she revealed conspiracies such as one she says involved a crony of then president of the Philippines illegally taking control of a bank in that country. Hudes says that these revelations eventually led to her firing. She now makes her career as an anti-bank activist billing herself as the “World Bank Whistleblower”. Using that as her brand, Hudes has been able to build a small but devoted following among consumers of the so-called alternative media. (Her name occasionally makes its way into more mainstream forums, such as in a recent speech by actor Edward James Olmos.)
For a news organization that is looking for ammunition in the war against banks but is not particularly concerned about accuracy, Karen Hudes presents the intriguing possibility of unfettered access to information about the unimaginable evils banks do behind closed doors. But this lack of concern about accuracy comes with a very obvious risk. What if the purported whistleblower making charges against their former employers also makes other statements which reveal that the “whistleblower” (to put it politely) is very obviously unreliable?
Hudes says that she was fired by the World Bank after her 21 years of work there because she spoke out about issues related to “massive, massive, massive corruption” which the World Bank wants kept quiet. Just how massive is this corruption? Hudes says that the US gold reserves have been stolen by the Jesuits under the direction of a person she calls “the Black Pope” and that the US gold now resides in the Vatican. Oh, and she says that the “Black Pope” is not a human, but is of what she calls “a second species”. As she recently explained on a podcast:
“There’s a second species on this planet. They’re not extraterrestrials. They’re very much with us. They made maps in the previous ice age. The remnants of their civilizations are all over the place – a lot of times along the coast. It’s submerged because the sea level has gone up by 400 meters. This group has large brains. They’re very distinct from homo sapiens. Their DNA is so different, that if the two species mated, their offspring would be infertile, and we know this because their DNA was just tested. They have skulls all over the place because they have been on earth with us. But after the ice age, there weren’t that many of them, so they’ve been hiding, and one of the places that’s they’ve been hiding is in the Vatican. That’s why the Vatican are wearing those miters. It turns out that that’s what the high priest wore in the early beginnings of Judaism. Moses was actually Akhenaten, who was a pharaoh. They know this because the papyra that was taken from one of the pyramids talks about this. The people who are doing archeology in Israel know this. And the reason is, not only is homo capensis (?) trying to keep human beings under control by divide and conquer using our money system, they’ve also been doing this with our religions – organized religions – trying to get human beings to hate people of different religious faiths so that they will kill each other off, so that the people who are manipulating human beings could … use us like cattle. That’s what’s been going on through our history.”
Hudes goes on in the interview to explain that she learned of the existence of this world-controlling, large-brained, non-human species from “a retired neurologist named Edward Spencer,” and that his views were confirmed to her by an unnamed email correspondent in Portugal who, she says, attended a meeting of large-headed hominids with inhuman blue eyes. Hudes also claims to be part of a network of whistleblowers from various financial institutions who have taken their concerns to the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions. Hudes and Spencer have also sent emails about this conspiracy to a long list of US military and government officials. (Another Hudes podcast interview on this subject is available here. More details about Hudes’ and Spencers’ beliefs are available here.)
Hudes has appeared several times on RT, where she’s billed as “the World Bank Whisteblower”, discussing everything from Obamacare to the government shutdown to the NSA. In those appearances, she fails to mention the “Black Pope” or large-brained hominids. Instead, she gives RT audiences what they expect: conspiracy theories involving bankers controlling the US and dire predictions of the economic collapse of the West.
In June 2013, Hudes was interviewed by Abby Martin in a segment of her RT program Breaking the Set. Although Martin’s introduction promised shocking revelations of World Bank corruption involving money laundering, no such revelations were forthcoming, only a series of unsupported charges.
In the interview, Hudes first claims that she knew of a scheme involving the theft of $180 billion dollars from the World Bank, that she reported this to her superiors there, and that she was fired for pursuing the matter in spite of intervention by several US senators on her behalf. Oddly, Hudes fails to take advantage of the opportunity to reveal details of this theft, which would surely be one of the biggest news stories of all time. Instead, Hudes starts down another path, claiming that 188 ministers of finance and the US Congress were involved in covering up the theft of $900 million dollars of funds designated for fighting poverty in the Philippines. She says that she’s part of an international network of World Bank whistleblowers who are trying to reveal a massive conspiracy of international bankers and prevent what she describes as “a currency war” ending in the collapse of the world financial system.
Martin then asks Hudes why “the corporate media” has failed to report on these “facts,” to which Hudes replies that it’s because the media is owned by a single conglomerate with an interest in maintaining the cover-up.
“They’re part of this scheme to rip off everyone, every single citizen on this planet. That’s what I’m talking about.” Hudes goes on to claim that her allegations have been confirmed by a study conducted by the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, although the findings she recounts don’t relate in any way to her charges. Instead, as she describes it, the study found that a small group of elite business leaders control 40% of the world’s assets. Based on this fact, Hudes says (in what charitably could be described as a non sequitur) paper money now has no value, and that “pretty soon, in a matter of weeks probably, the whole system is going to come to a screeching halt with something called ‘gold backwardization’.”
Rapidly changing the subject, Martin asks Hudes about banks controlling the US political system. Hudes says this is proved by the fact that former World Bank president Robert Zoellick worked for the 2012 Mitt Romney campaign and that, she says, the media failed to report this. She also says cryptically that she asked CBS to report on international corruption “and they said the public didn’t need to know.” The host wraps up the interview by asking Hudes why her “revelations” haven’t “incurred the wrath of the government” as have those of Edward Snowden. Hudes answers that she doesn’t know, but thinks that the government may be “using Eric Snowden (sic) to stir up the public.”
Subsequent to that bizarre interview, which lasted only 8 minutes, RT had Hudes back in October for a 24 minute in-depth interview on Sophie Shevardnadze’s program, giving Hudes an opportunity to flesh out her theories. (Video and transcript available here.) Unfortunately for everyone involved, this interview is notable for largely being so incoherent as to be virtually impossible to summarize.
SS: So, the government shutdown. Is the move on the part of the Republicans justified? Is fighting off Obamacare worth all this mess?KH: I think there is something more going on behind the scenes. A lot more, actually.SS: What do you mean?KH: Well, there is terrible currency problem. We’re on the verge of the currency war. The Federal Reserve is printing dollars like there is no tomorrow, and if they keep going, the rest of the world is not going to accept them. As it is, the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – have decided that they are going to finance the trade among these countries with assets and pay for the difference in gold. And this is the right move for them…SS: But how is that connected with a shutdown though?KH: The US Congress has been fighting with the presidency, because the presidency (sic) have been in total contempt, and the highest legal officer of the United States government has also been in contempt of Congress in fighting this international corruption that is ruining the dollar as an international reserve currency.
And on it goes… Hudes explains her theory of “gold backwardization.” It turns out that it refers to a two-step conspiracy theory falsely charging that 1) gold reserves no longer exist (or, in Hudes’ case, that the gold has been stolen by the “Black Pope” hominid and hidden in the Vatican), and 2) that banks are short-selling this purportedly non-existent gold to deflate the gold market. The assumptions behind this conspiracy theory are false, of course, but it doesn’t really matter. Central banks exist to manage the money supply in order to stabilize currencies and encourage steady economic growth. Conspiracy theorists and promoters of schemes involving speculation in precious metals have a different view of these things though. From their point of view, those actions are intrinsically part of a plan to drive down the price of gold, since, when currencies are stable and the stock market sound, gold speculation is less attractive. This is how gold standard true believers like Hudes and other RT economics experts come to believe that the normal pursuit of a good economy is part of an anti-gold conspiracy.
Hudes goes on:
“The mainstream media is completely owned and controlled by the same companies, private companies that own the Federal Reserve System… Congress people are all bribed by these corrupt forces and the American citizens have zero confidence in their Congress… I’m not siding with Democrats or Republicans, because both of those parties have been co-opted by these terrible corrupt forces I’m talking about.”
Considering that the views she expresses elsewhere are so idiosyncratic, Hudes’ RT persona is mostly indistinguishable from what they usually broadcast. I’ll leave it to readers to reach their own conclusions about what that means. I say “mostly” because, inevitably, the mask sometimes slips. In response to an oddly-framed question on Obamacare and fears of the collapse of the US economy, Hudes shares this:
SS: You know, I’ve also heard Obama supporters argue that the American Capitalism is on the verge of death in its present form, the way it is existing now, and the social injections, meaning the medical care and Obamacare, are needed as the only way to reform it or save it. Do you agree or disagree with that?KH: The problem is not with the American citizens, they are a wonderful group, their values are good. It’s just that they are not given the tools that they need to have a just society. They are not given the basic information about what is really going on and who is benefiting from the economies that they are being told… they are being told that they have no money, they have taken an entire city, Detroit, and declared it bankrupt. When what’s actually happening is their tax dollars are not even staying in the society, their tax dollars are going by treaty to the United Kingdom, and then they are being transferred to the Vatican, to the bank of the Vatican. This is not a society that is going to be sustainable on any basis, for any reason.
Later, in response to a question about China, Hudes explains to her interviewer that China is controlled by the Jesuits. No large-brained hominids or Black Pope mentioned there, but some intriguing intimations of insanity on which the RT host somehow fails to follow up. Just another day at RT. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Former World Bank Senior: Aliens With Elongated Skulls Are Behind Money and Religion
Former World Bank Senior Council, Karen Hudes has been making a lot of noise lately, and she recently said something she’s never said before. She said that a second species on Earth controls money and religion.
Many people who have held positions to know things that the rest of us might not know have made some very shocking statements lately. For example, Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of National Defence recently said that there are at least “4 known alien species that have been visiting Earth for thousands of years.” You can read more about that here.
I am aware that just because somebody says something does not mean that it’s true, no matter what their background. At the same time, what she says corroborates with a lot of ancient historical facts, and modern day disclosures of other strange phenomenon, like UFOs, secret societies and more.

For someone like this to gain credibility as a World Bank whistle-blower and then all of a sudden make a comment like this is quite shocking. Although, in her interview she did discredit the idea of extraterrestrials on the planet, which I definitely disagree with.
There is an enormous amount of evidence out there to suggest we are not alone, and we have indeed been visited. For more information on that click here and here.

“These countries are not monolithic, there are forces fighting the corruption and there are forces that have totally been co-opted, and the way they act is treasonous to the people in those countries. The group that’s behind the network of control are the Jesuits, and there are also some groups behind them. One of these groups are hominids, they’re not human beings.The quote above if from the show below. She starts speaking about it approximately 21 minutes into the program.
“They are very smart, they are not creative, they are mathematical. They had a much stronger force in the earlier ice-age. They have elongated skulls, they may produce offspring in mating with female humans, but that offspring is not fertile. We live in a world of secret societies, and secrets, and the information that ought to be public is not public.”
Karen held her senior position at the World Bank for twelve years before deciding to blow the whistle on the World Bank and corruption within it. She studies 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.
These are shocking statements that come shortly after gaining attention for being a credible world bank whistleblower, stating that the world is in a “currency war,” that the Federal Reserve continues to print money like crazy, and if they keep going at the pace they are on, other countries will no longer accept this currency.
She has been exposing criminal corruption that takes place at the highest levels of financial institutions. In 1999, she reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in the Philippines. She’s exposed the collusion that takes place between financial institutions and various governments, and much much more.
This is a great clip of her telling us some important stuff. Before you brush off what she has to say, keep in mind that the reality of many strange phenomenon has a large amount of proof to back it up, or at least be open to the possibility.

“It’s very true. I know this because someone at the Vatican actually found the heads and bones of [Homo Capensis'] dead buried in the basement at the Vatican, and the Vatican was built in 540 AD so the bones couldn’t have gotten in the basement until after that.
“Many heads were found so they have been burying their dead there for the last 1500 years and I believe they live.for about 800 to 1000 years. They want to kill us off now because there are too many of us and they are losing control because people are waking up.”
