This interview is pretty out there, but I find it fascinating. Use discernment.
Published on May 29, 2013 This interview was conducted at the Super Soldier Summit in May 2013. Erin Green Hicks aka Erin Rothschild tells her story from the perspective of time travel and her experience growing up as a Rothschild being tortured and put through illuminati mind control and satanic rituals… Shot and Produced by Kerry Lynn Cassidy Project Camelot http://projectcamelot.org Erin Green Hicks on facebook: http://on.fb.me/10JPwDa
This is in a great loving memory of one of our pillars of humanity:
James was called and he gave his all with his partner and loved one over decades of service to us all. He is an example to us all, and by definition, so too his counterpart, as in her time of “grief” she has great strength and compassion to carry the message regardless of s’ loss.
His sacrifice can be likened easily to the example shown by the other part of us, our dear brother that “gave it on the cross” in that metaphor.
Simply, he cared.
Quan Yin welcomed him home, as did obishida, michael, the lad, mary, sananda, Buddha, notably the blue dragon lord, misty, smokey, foggy, and all others too numerous to mention. He is well celebrated, and yes it sucks he’s gone, but we are all here to take strong example from his actions.
He reminded us that our purpose of light and the evolution of our humanity to that which is inevitable is a reality, and that we are all loved in equal measure and strength in all forms whether s or otherwise, and is the singularity to which we identify in the end. He taught us the nature of all things in the metaphor of all is one and one is all.
He reviled the oppression imposed by the forces of dark, and strived to reveal that corruption to the light in face of virtually impossible odds.
He was appalled by the subjugation of mankind, and cried out many a time “can i take the gloves off cause I’m sick and tired of wearing these mickey mouse mitts until m tells me they can come off and…’poof’ . ” now that is a very cool thought, to be able to see that if a condition is met, then it becomes real and provable, not only definable.
James taught this in his weekly of so many years and so many lifetimes.
He has done so much for our understandings. This brother of ours was precious as the likes of some of the greatest Lightworkers so dedicated to us.
He gave us all a great gift of looking at the truth in front of us, and this gift will coninue [continue] to grow in greater strength; this growth being the uncomplicated definition of the martyr.
There is no finer service to be in that then that of your fellow, and james examplified this excellent quality with great vigour. Nothing escaped his piercing insight and scrutiny. Trusted by the moles of the system, he brought to light the dark things that must invariably serve the light. Humor and incisive eye revealed convoluted events into simple systems. James always spoke his mind and said what we wanted to say, and did so at great peril at times. Many attacked and tried to push him under and discount him, but like all voices speaking truths, he was not to be silenced.
Given the freedom that is our legacy, he believed in our humanity and what we could accomplish. James did a magnificent job of sustaining hope for us, and to our benefit. He and s created the web of contact with us that had enough brain cells to rub together to have a listen and un derstand the message and spread the word.
Vocal to a fault, and pretty pissed off at the crass games of the “other side” attempts to maintain positions of oppression, he gave of himself to create the circumstance for change. For all that you have done James, i thank you deeply.
You were a friend, brother, and confidant. You and s accomplished what very few attempted, and fewer succeeded. You were and are truly of the light.
Rest well, and rest easy James…. We are here to pick up the ball and keep going. In love and light and in our service.
Millions of activists around the world have rallied against Monsanto, the biotechnology giant for genetically engineering agriculture and food while suppressing negative scientific research.
Organized by the 'March Against Monsanto' movement, an estimated two million have taken part in the massive event on Saturday spanning six continents, 52 nations, and at least 48 US states.
“It was empowering and inspiring to see so many people, from different walks of life, put aside their differences and come together today,” said Tami Canal, founder and organizer of the global event. “We will continue until Monsanto complies with consumer demand. They are poisoning our children, poisoning our planet,”she said. “If we don't act, who's going to?”
The day of protest has already ended in Europe, where thousands of activists in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, France, Malta and elsewhere took to the streets to protest against Monsanto abuses.
Just what is life really like in the physical universe beyond our world? Are we really an isolated race living in vastly unexplored regions of space? Or are we largely unaware of the realities of advanced intelligent life beyond our borders and even in our world? Given the infinite nature of the universe, it is much more realistic that there are countless expressions of life in an endless variety of forms, including those who have surpassed humanity in many areas. With the ongoing flood of Disclosure testimonials, the topics of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and novel forms of harnessing energy are becoming more popular and pressing by the day. It is becoming clearer that we are not alone and that we never have been. Humanity is eager for change and many of us are seeking Contact and Disclosure as a great means for propelling us forward as an emerging interplanetary race.
However, are we really ready for this? Have we evolved to the point where we are really able to engage with extraterrestrial races in a mature and wise manner that is for our best interests? What are our goals and what do we seek out of relationship with other races? Will our freedom and our self-determination as a race be preserved? Why are they really here in the first place? I believe these are vital questions to ask as we continue to open up to the understanding that we live in a Greater Community of intelligent life. This is arguably the most important transition we will go through in our lifetimes as a collective and this is happening now. We must prepare and become informed about these critical issues.
It is for this reason that I would like to present to you a message from the Allies of Humanity, a group of extraterrestrial beings who represent various free races in our universe that value freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination. Their briefings offer a critical perspective on the current extraterrestrial intervention that is taking place on Earth. They are not here to establish physical relations with us — only to offer us a necessary warning and explanation about the realities we are facing. Never before has an intervention of this magnitude taken place here and it is occurring largely unnoticed and beyond our awareness. It is an extremely important issue and I hope that you will consider it seriously and with objectivity. Please watch the following video as it will explain to you the nature of the Intervention and what we are up against.
We are going to have to let go of many assumptions, beliefs, and false ideas about the nature of extraterrestrial beings and the reality of life in the universe if we are going to make it through this transition as a free and independent race. For example, technologically advanced does not necessarily mean spiritually advanced. We can see this within humanity in our world today.
Additionally, not all races who claim to be benevolent or loving are here for humanity’s freedom and spiritual upliftment. Immense deception, persuasion, and pacification is taking place regarding all extraterrestrial matters at this time. Therefore, expanding our individual perspectives to a universal level is of paramount importance now!
“There is a very great shift here, a very great shift from a human-centered world to a Greater Community reality. Because you have lived in isolation and have evolved in isolation for so very long with only very infrequent and largely unrecognized visitations to the world from various races in the past, you naturally project your values onto the prospect and the notion of intelligent life in the universe. As a result, some people feel or believe fervently that the universe is inhabited by human beings who have evolved beyond conflict and deception and that the values that you hold here or that you aspire to are universal in nature. The fact that this is not true and that it represents a dangerous set of assumptions and beliefs is something that you must face at the outset.
This is a tremendous opportunity for humanity, although our freedom and victory is not assured. We are going to have to earn it through awareness, integrity, and cooperative action. We will need to eventually become united as a race, ensuring our ability to stay self-sufficient, and capable of dealing with Greater Community realities through inner Knowledge that we all possess. To successfully preserve our liberties, we will need those who are passionate for freedom, integrity, and are willing to face reality as it is — not how we wish it or believe it to be. This is not easy and there will be great resistance, but it must be done. Are you one who is willing to answer this greater calling and stand for something truly great? Humanity’s freedom and independence as a galactic race must be preserved and it is up to each of us to aid in making this happen!
We give greetings from far away now. In our first two sets of communications to you, we were able to be in the proximity of your world in a hidden location in your solar system. But now we have been forced to flee, since our revelations have become public. The Intervention that is occurring in your world by those extraterrestrial races who would seek to take advantage of a weak and divided humanity have searched for us, seeking to find us and to destroy us so that we may not report on their activities in the world and thus reveal their hidden plans and motivations.
The people of your world must know that you are emerging now into a Greater Community of intelligent life, a Greater Community that you know nothing about and have not yet adapted to.It is a Greater Community of advanced worlds, for you live in a developed and populated part of the universe where large nations have established intricate and long-standing trade agreements with one another, where there are rules of engagement and rules of conduct that all trading nations in this region must observe.
You know nothing of these things, of course, still being isolated within your world. Yet your world is being visited by small groups—small non-military groups, commercial forces, you might say—that are here seeking advantages and resources. They recognize that humanity at this moment is a weak and divided race and is superstitious and uneducated regarding the affairs of the Greater Community in which you have always lived.
We have been sent as observers from several different free nations in this region of space, to observe the extraterrestrial Intervention that is occurring in the world today, to report on its activities and to reveal its hidden motives and agenda so that the human family might become aware and prepared for the reality of Contact. It is this reality of Contact that is essential for your understanding.
Your world is a prize. It is greatly valued by others. You are unsuspecting and perhaps might assume that advanced technological races are advanced spiritually as well. But alas, this is not the case. The path of technological development, more often than not, leads away from real freedom and the true nature of spirituality as it exists in all manifest intelligent life.
This represents but one of the important lessons that the human family must now learn if it is to regard the presence of foreign visitors with clarity, wisdom and discernment and if it is to recognize the great need for humanity to establish its own rules of engagement regarding all present and future visitations to your world. Such rules have not been established. Humanity stands naked in the universe, vulnerable to intervention and persuasion by small, cunning groups of resource explorers and economic Collectives— those who travel within the local universe seeking advantages and opportunities for themselves and for their clients.
You of course have no way of understanding this, having never ventured far enough into space to witness these activities and to learn about the nature of interactions and commerce in this part of the universe. So you do not know what to expect, and in the absence of wisdom, clarity and informed awareness, many people who are aware of the Intervention are misunderstanding its presence and are construing it incorrectly, believing it is here for the benefit of humanity.
It is because humanity has not responded with wisdom appropriately to this Intervention that we, as representatives of the free nations in your vicinity of space, have been sent here to observe this Intervention, to learn of its activities within your world and to reveal to you the nature of these activities, their purpose and indeed the nature of such Interventions as they so frequently occur everywhere in the Greater Community.
You are emerging into a competitive environment in space, a complex environment, an environment where long-standing rules have been established to maintain stability amongst nations and worlds whose establishments are far older than anything that has been established on Earth.
In this regard, you are but a young race, young and reckless—a young race who is beginning to experience the benefits and the liabilities of technological power; a young race who is despoiling a beautiful planet, a planet that is valued by others; a young race without wisdom and foresight who is eroding away its self-sufficiency—self-sufficiency which is always required for any emerging nation to maintain its freedom and its self-determination in the universe.
There is so much now for humanity to learn and to do. Great actions must be taken, but they must be informed by a clear understanding of the universe into which you are emerging—how nations trade and function, what restrains them, what encourages them, the freedoms they have to intervene in a world such as yours and the restraints that prevent them from undertaking certain activities.
Even now, though we are far from your world, we can report on these things and give you a clearer understanding of the nature of interaction, trade and commerce in your part of the galaxy, in this densely populated area of the universe. With this, we hope we can impart a great encouragement for the human family to utilize its native wisdom, to build upon its great strengths and to not fall prey to persuasion or self-deception that is always a great risk at thresholds such as these.
Emerging into the Greater Community is the greatest threshold that any race can face. Many races fail at this threshold, falling under the persuasion and domination of foreign powers. Many nations fail because they have destroyed their self-sustaining resources and have become helpless and dependent upon others who, through leverage and through commercial manipulation, were able to gain control of these young, emerging races.
It is a threshold with great risks and yet one with immense opportunities. In the face of the Greater Community, young races must unite, they must correct their destructive behavior, and they must focus on establishing the security of their world and its boundaries to space.
We trust in this third set of Briefings that we may be able to illustrate the importance of this and provide our encouragement and our faith that humanity has the strength still and the integrity still to mount a great effort on its own behalf and to lay the foundation for becoming a free and self-determined race in the universe.
For you must know that freedom is rare in the Greater Community and once it has been established, it must be carefully protected and watched over. Large nations that are not free, that do not provide freedom for their citizens, always regard the presence of free worlds and nations with great fear and suspicion. That is why free nations, with very few exceptions, maintain their autonomy and attempt not to become pulled into the complex and compromising nature of trade and commerce in the Greater Community.
Perhaps you can understand this from your own experience of being in the world, a world where commerce has compromised the integrity and the self-determination of weaker nations. We have seen the evidence of this in your transmissions, which are foolishly sent out into space for all to see.
We bring this example forward so that you may call upon your own experience and observations of the world because events in the Greater Community and the reality of the Greater Community itself represent the same kinds of forces, compromises and difficulties, but on a vastly larger scale with many more participants.
Here you cannot be like children, being reckless, wasting your resources, opposing one another, being inattentive to your boundaries to space, unaware of who is intervening in your world today and foolishly expecting grace and salvation from those who might visit you. These are actions that are not in your best interest, actions which are governed by wishful thinking and by foolish and uninformed expectations. Such an approach to life in the universe will lay you open to deception and manipulation beyond what you are accustomed to and for which you have not yet developed a sufficient set of counter measures.
Life in the universe is difficult because all advanced nations have outstripped their world’s ability to sustain them, thus forcing them to engage in commerce and to a great degree to become controlled by other nations under whose commercial agreements they must now be forced to submit.
Life in the universe is perilous for the unwary. And yet the Greater Community into which you are emerging is vast and magnificent, holding immense opportunities for learning and education and immense opportunities for self-discovery and for founding a world where greater unity must be established and can be established effectively.
There are races in the universe who are very advanced in this regard, far beyond anything that humanity has established here on Earth. But they do not engage in space exploration. They do not engage in resource acquisition or in trying to persuade or manipulate young and unaware races such as the human family, for that is not ethical and leads to unfortunate consequences.
The wise have learned many things over the eons of time in the universe, many things that humanity has not yet discovered or is only beginning to learn. The wise have learned that all nations require resources and must either build their own self-sufficiency and trade amongst very trusted partners or take the great and unfortunate risk of becoming involved in larger networks of trade and resource acquisition—larger networks which will always compromise their integrity and self-determination. For if you are dependent upon others for the very things you need, then they, even more than you, will determine the nature of the engagement and the terms by which such an engagement must be met.
In your own world, you have seen smaller nations fall under the over-arching persuasion of other nations—persuasion that was garnered without the use of force, persuasion that preyed upon the weakness and the divisions within these weaker nations, making them now dependent upon larger nations beyond their control and to which they are forced to submit.
There is much for you to learn regarding this, and you have many questions, of course. In these Briefings, we will attempt to answer some of your questions if they can be answered. Yet some questions must be answered by a Greater Power, the Greater Power of the Creator of all life, who has put Knowledge as a potential within each person and within intelligent life throughout the universe. But such potential has not been discovered yet by the human family to any great degree, and as you will discover, it remains beyond the reach and awareness of many in the Greater Community, especially those who wield great technological power, who have abandoned their early traditions of religion to serve the religion of power, commerce and technology.
It is true in the universe that the wise must remain hidden to remain wise, and that freedom is built on three fundamental realities: one, that a world’s peoples be united sufficiently to face the universe as one people; two, that such people must maintain and protect their self sufficiency so as not to become bound and dependent upon foreign powers who do not share their values or their emphasis on freedom; and three, that such people must become extremely discreet regarding their activities and behavior, which will always fall under the scrutiny of those who wish to take advantage of these people or who fear the freedom that such people might possess.
Do not confuse the Ancient Home of God with the Greater Community. For the Greater Community is a physical reality, and everyone in it must struggle to survive and must face the reality of competition and all of its hazards. Yet each race has the promise to evolve and to become free and to become wise. This opportunity still remains everywhere, within all beings and all nations in the universe.
Here you must come not with hopeful expectations or with dread or fear, but with a greater sobriety and clarity of mind. Do not approach the Greater Community wanting things for yourself, hoping and believing that those whom you will encounter will provide these things for you. For this is unwise and will rob you of the discernment that you must have to see clearly and to be able to discern those opportunities that are beneficial from those that only appear to be beneficial. This is the wisdom one must utilize within one’s own world, for this is a universal truth.
Our task is to reveal the real nature of the Intervention that is occurring in the world today, to warn you and to prepare you for the realities of life in the universe, to give you a greater impetus for human unity and cooperation and to show you the great need for the cessation of conflict within your world. We do this because we value humanity as a race. But we also do this for our own self-preservation, for to have another free nation in this neighborhood of space is of great interest to us. We support it as an idea for all races. Yet in our local region of space, it will help preserve our integrity, and it will help preserve our autonomy if such a race as yours can evolve into the Greater Community free of foreign domination and educated about the realities of life beyond your borders.
We will speak in these Briefings about this greater arena of life. We will give you the information that is needed even if it does not answer your desires for specific names, dates and places, which would be meaningless to you and which would not serve a useful purpose, for you cannot verify these things for yourself.
What you need is a greater perspective and a greater vision. What we will impart will not be strange and foreign to you. In many ways, it will be akin to what you yourself have seen within your world and what you are able to recognize through your awareness of nature and history.
Life in the universe has taken many different forms. Even though many races use technologies beyond your current capabilities, all must still face the rigors of life. All must still make the difficult choices between freedom and submission. And all must still deal with the need for resources and stability. It is a truth that all must face. No one through technology has gained exemption from the great requirements of life.
You who are just beginning your journey into the Greater Community must now undertake a greater education. This greater education will call upon your strengths, your awareness and whatever wisdom may reside within your heart and within the hearts of all who dwell within your world.
For it is this wisdom you need now more than ever before.
********************************
There are five things that each of us can do right now. Taking action will be necessary. From The Allies Book 2:
1. Develop Your Own Awareness. Do not let your everyday life overshadow your awareness of this grave situation. Study and reread the Allies Briefings. Explore the questions that they provoke. See the Intervention for what it is, see its greater implications and see how it could affect your life and the future of all the things that you value. Study The Way of Knowledge. This is how the Allies gained their strength and wisdom. They are students of Knowledge.
2. Share the Allies’ Message With Others. Your friends and family (and even enemies) need to hear this message. Your government, business, and religious leaders need to hear this message. Spread this new awareness. Share this new perspective. Be alert for opportunities to advocate. This information must be shared as widely as possible. Everyone has the potential to see the truth about the Intervention, but they may never see it if no one shows them. In this way, this vital message can spread quickly and effectively through many human networks.
3. Support Human Unity and Sovereignty in Our World. Use the presence of the Intervention as a rallying cry for human cooperation and unity. Speak out against national, cultural, and religious conflict in any form. No nation or group will be victorious if the entire world is lost. It is time to strengthen the human family. As The Allies Briefings tell us, a divided humanity will have no power or efficacy in the Greater Community.
4. Support the Work of MV Summers for the Greater Community Way of Knowledge who have been given the Allies Briefings and are the first to champion this great cause. There are six billion people to reach with the Allies Message and The Teaching in Greater Community Spirituality. Your financial contribution is urgently needed to make possible the worldwide dissemination of this critical message in order to turn the tide for humanity.
5. Become aware of the Mental Environment. The Mental Environment is the environment of thought and influence in which we all live. Its effect upon our thinking, emotions and actions is even greater than the effect of the physical environment. The Mental Environment is now being directly affected and influenced by the Intervention. It is also being affected by government and commercial interests all around us.
“Becoming aware of the Mental Environment is crucial to maintaining your own freedom to think freely and clearly. The first step that you can take is to consciously choose who and what is influencing your thinking and decisions through the input that you receive from the outside. This includes media, books and persuasive friends, family and authority figures. Set your own guidelines and learn how to clearly determine, with discernment and objectivity, what other people, and even the culture at large, are telling you. Each of us must learn to consciously discern these influences in order to protect and uplift the Mental Environment in which we live.”
Thank you for considering this vital information! The Allies Briefings are crucial for understanding how we can offset this intervention and take a true stand for our freedom. In the end, only humanity can save itself. Awareness and education is the first step. If you feel this is important, please share these messages with those you know.
One of the most frustrating but necessary things for journalists is to hold information on embargo until a go ahead is given for publishing. This is one of those frustrating times. Embargoes are needed to ensure plans are not sabotaged and lives are not endangered.
However, there are enough hints available in the public domain for us to put some dots together. What is clear is that there is a lot of hysteria in Washington D.C. (IRS, Benghazi etc.) and London, England (pedophilia, gold market). It is also clear that for at least six months public statements by the US State Department repeated in the Zionist media have been regularly contradicted by the Pentagon. There are also proliferating signs of a breakdown in the financial system. All of this points to some sort of dramatic black swan incident soon. We will talk more about this below.
In Asia as well, secret negotiations with North Korea and among Asian powers are clearly preparations for a change in the post-war global power structure. The visit to North Korea last week by Isao Iijima, special envoy of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, was a case in point. We got four different versions of what was talked about, two Japanese, one North Korean and one Chinese. Like the Sufi story of the blind men and the elephant (an elephant is big and flat, it is like a hose, it is like a tree trunk etc.) you need to piece the different versions together to figure out what is really going on. What the stories all agree upon though is that the visit was a best a fishing expedition, at worst a failure. A source in the Japanese imperial family had the most interesting take on what Iijima had to say to the North Koreans. According to this source, Iijima asked the North Koreans if they would be willing to host 1 million Sabbatean refugees expected to want to leave Europe and the United States soon and was told no. This story about 1 million refugees looking for a place to go after leaving the United States has propped up repeatedly and from enough different sources that it seems to stem from a genuine belief that 1 million people will be asked to leave the US once the truth about what has been done by them to the American people is made public. My sources say they will not be allowed to leave but will have to face the music (ie be sent to the Fema camps they prepared for others).
The Chinese government source had a different angle on what went on during this visit. According to him, Iijima was told very clearly that North Korea was not willing to negotiate through the Japanese Foreign Ministry because it was staffed with Zionist slaves who have twice sabotaged deals reached between Japan and North Korea to normalize relations. This was in line with what a source in the Japanese public security police heard too.
The North Korean source also said the Japanese Foreign Ministry was not to be trusted. North Korea has made a very friendly and detailed proposal to deal with all outstanding issues preventing resumption of friendly diplomatic relations between North Korea and Japan. We know the details but have been asked to keep them secret for now.
The Japanese official also pointed out that countries like Germany, France and the UK already have extensive relations with North Korea that they were not talking about. British Tobacco, for example, sells North Korean Tobacco labeled as British, he said.
There is also something going on under the surface in South Korea that is related to this issue somehow. South Korean conglomerates are desperate to get their hands on South Korean Won and have been offering to trade them for yen at a two to one rate compared to the official exchange rate. They are also trying to sell old imperial South Korean gold (although they have not yet provided satisfactory proof of its existence).
This is related to a major attack on control of the South Korean banking system by Goldman Sachs, according to an executive at a Japanese securities company. It is also related, as reported in previous issues, to plans to tax the assets of South Korean residents of Japan who wish to take their yen to Korea before tax officials seize them. The Asians all seem to be waiting for some sort of major event in the United States that will allow the map of North East Asia to be fundamentally redrawn.
The question everybody who is not brain dead or bribed is asking, of course, is when the crooks on Wall Street and in Washington D.C. will finally be rounded up and put in jail where they belong. Some sources say the takedown has already begun. The firing of 26 generals was a start. Now the Internal Revenue Service is being taken down, they say.
The real question, of course, is when the elders of Zion are rounded up and put in jail. Never mind the debate over whether or not the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a racist forgery. The fact of the matter is that Zionism exists, it is not (but pretends to be) Judaism, and it is guilty of massive crimes against humanity.
The Zionists must have leaders who could be labeled “Elders of Zion.” A senior member of the Italian P2 lodge says two names in particular are now blocking the start of the new financial system: Cohen and Levi. Chinese sources have already identified a Jean Cohen of the Hoche Group in France as having paid Chinese demonstrators 1,200 yuan a day to stage anti-Japanese riots. The Levi name is more mysterious but they will be flushed out of the woodwork sooner rather than later.
When this high-level crime syndicate is finally brought down, a redistribution of criminally obtained assets (think hedge fund, offshore, 100 times leverage, insider trading etc.) is certain to follow.
That is probably why many of the richest Americans are in a panic to take their fraudulently earned fiat dollars and turn them into hard assets as quickly as possible. That is why there is frantic buying of gold, art, real estate and anything else that actually exists in reality and not just in a bank computer.
What we are about to witness is the unraveling of a giant apparatus of lies, bribery, murder, and illusion that has fooled us into wars and out of our money for centuries. The repercussions will be historical. Imagine the fall of the Soviet Union on steroids.
The chief executive of Rosbank, a Russian unit of Societe Generale, was detained by Russian police on Wednesday, for suspicion of accepting a bribe of about 5 million roubles (almost $160,000, €124,378). Russia's Interior Ministry said Vladimir Golubkov has been held "on suspicion of receiving illegal monetary compensation". The bribe was reportedly part of a total bribe of $1.5 million that Golubkov demanded in return for prolonging and modifying a loan for an unnamed company. The company requesting the loan extension is reportedly from the automotive industry.
A representative from the anonymous company responsible for the bribe tipped the police off before making the $160,000 payment to Galubkov. Anti-corruption officials stormed into Golubkov's office where they arrested him and recovered the 5 million roubles.
According to the police, Galubkov had already received $1.2 million from the company official before being caught. Police say Rosbank's senior vice president has also been detained in connection with the corruption charges.
Rosbank ranks as one of Russia's top-ten leading banks, based on assets and equity. It serves 3 million individual customers from 1,200 points of sale across Russia.
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has denounced the global financial system, blasting the "cult of money" that he says is tyrannizing the poor and turning humans into expendable consumer goods.
In his first major speech on the subject, Francis demanded Wednesday that financial and political leaders reform the global financial system to make it more ethical and concerned for the common good. He said: "Money has to serve, not to rule!"
It's a message Francis delivered on many occasions when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, and it's one that was frequently stressed by retired Pope Benedict XVI.
Francis, who has made clear the poor are his priority, made the comments as he greeted his first group of new ambassadors accredited to the Holy See.
