McConnell claims that Romney and Obama set up Bain & Co. and Sidley Austin offices in London to support a British Bankers’ Association escrow service where student loans are forgiven on delivery of films which show illegal late-term abortions of viable fetuses for use in the extortion of witnesses who had become unwitting accessories to infanticide.

“Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. Decided simultaneously with a companion case, Doe v. Bolton, the Court ruled that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that right must be balanced against the state's two legitimate interests in regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting women's health. Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the trimester of pregnancy. The Court later rejected Roe's trimester framework, while affirming Roe's central holding that a person has a right to abortion until viability. The Roe decision defined "viable" as being "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid", adding that viability "is usually placed at about seven months (28 weeks) but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks.” In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States, Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today, about issues including whether and to what extent abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the United States into pro-choice and pro-life camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.”“Bain London is one of the oldest Bain offices, having been established in 1979 as the firm’s first venture outside of the United States. We like to think that this entrepreneurial spirit continues to be one of the defining features of our office, reflected not only in the work we do, but also in the people we hire, whatever their level.

For us in London, these include executives from across the UK and Ireland as well as further afield, who not only share our passion for results but who are willing to be bold and act decisively to achieve them.”

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person who has received any income derived, directly or indirectly, from a pattern of racketeering activity or through collection of an unlawful debt in which such person has participated as a principal within the meaning of section 2, title 18, United States Code, to use or invest, directly or indirectly, any part of such income, or the proceeds of such income, in acquisition of any interest in, or the establishment or operation of, any enterprise which is engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce. A purchase of securities on the open market for purposes of investment, and without the intention of controlling or participating in the control of the issuer, or of assisting another to do so, shall not be unlawful under this subsection if the securities of the issuer held by the purchaser, the members of his immediate family, and his or their accomplices in any pattern or racketeering activity or the collection of an unlawful debt after such purchase do not amount in the aggregate to one percent of the outstanding securities of any one class, and do not confer, either in law or in fact, the power to elect one or more directors of the issuer.

“In 1976, under the leadership of CEO Walter B. Wriston, First National City Bank (and its holding company First National City Corporation) was renamed as Citibank, N.A. (and Citicorp, respectively). Shortly afterward, the bank launched the Citicard, which pioneered the use of 24-hour ATMs. John S. Reed was elected CEO in 1984, and Citi became a founding member of the CHAPS clearing house in London. Under his leadership, the next 14 years would see Citibank become the largest bank in the United States, the largest issuer of credit cards and charge cards in the world, and expand its global reach to over 90 countries.”
“The Clearing House Automated Payment System or CHAPS is a British company
established in London in 1984, [the same year the British Bankers Association used unlawful debt to fund Romney’s launch of Bain Capital and Obama development of the leveraged lease for the Twin Towers in New York] which offers same-day sterling fund transfers. CHAPS is a member of the trade organisation APACS, and the EU-area settlement system TARGET. A CHAPS transfer is initiated by the sender to move money to the recipient's account (at another banking institution) where the funds need to be available (cleared) the same working day. Unlike with a bank giro credit, no pre-printed slip specifying the recipient's details is required. Unlike cheques, the funds transfer is performed in real-time removing the issue of float or the potential for payments to be purposefully stopped by the sender, or returned due to insufficient funds, even after they appear to have arrived in the destination account. CHAPS is used by 19 settlement banks including the Bank of England and over 400 sub-member financial institutions. In its first year of operation, average daily transactions numbered 7,000 with an annual value of 5 billion pounds sterling. In 2004, twenty years later, average daily transactions numbered 130,000 with an annual value of 300 billion pounds sterling. In 2010 there were 32 million CHAPS transactions totalling over £61 trillion, down from £73 trillion in 2008. CHAPS used to offer euro fund transfers, but this service closed on 16 May 2008. The total value of these in 2007 was £57 trillion. As well as making transfers originated by banks themselves, CHAPS is frequently used by businesses for high-value payments to suppliers, and by solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers on behalf of individuals buying houses. Costs and problems CHAPS transfers are relatively expensive, with banks typically charging as much as £35 for a transfer. The cost of fast transfers and the slow speed of free transfers (such as BACS) is sometimes a subject of controversy in the UK, although low value transactions are now available from BACS from its Faster Payments Service. Problems can arise from delays, e.g. when an exceptional workload at a bank results in the money being cleared too late in a working day to complete related transactions, or inadequate instructions, when a bank is not given sufficient information to know where to credit the money. Members As of 2011 the members of CHAPS are:
Bank of America Merrill Lynch The Governor and Company of the Bank of England
Bank of Scotland Plc Barclays Bank Plc Citibank N.A. CLS Bank International Clydesdale Bank Plc The Co-operative Bank Plc Danske Bank A/S (Northern Bank Ltd.)
Deutsche Bank A.G. HSBC Bank Plc JPMorgan Chase & Co. Lloyds TSB Bank Plc
National Westminster Bank Plc The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc Santander UK Plc
Standard Chartered Bank Plc UBS A.G.

“Student Loans: the Next (Intellectual) Property Scam Because Higher Education IS Equivalent to Banksters! by Barbara Todish Sunday, 01 January 2012 20:20 Higher education is, and has been for some time, a RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations) conspiracy! We need a federal investigation because student loan monies constitute a repeat of what the mortgage crisis was and still is. Instead of having real property mortgages, students were and are being manipulated into going into student loan slavery debt for the false intellectual "property" of a worthless college degree!”
More to follow.
