Has everyone seen these videos from the UFO sightings in Turkey? They remind me of the animations that started popping up on the 'net not that long ago. These clips were dissected and found to be "not a hoax", but I'm still skeptical. However, they make a pretty good case....

Don, I reckon we discussed these Turkish ufo videos on the g-t back in the Summer of 2007. I clearly remember a still taken from one of the videos showing two grey beings through a window on the saucer-shaped craft. The videographer is obviously using his zoom to the max, and finding it difficult to keep the saucer-shaped craft in frame some of the time. Definitely genuine, I'd say.

As for the different hovering craft shot this year in Turkey, both in daylight and in the darkness, I'd say they're all the real McCoy as well, which is refreshing considering all the amateur CGI crap that's been appearing on YouTube of late.

Dialectic: The Most Often Used Illusion

In reading through the various threads, I can see why no one has read the information about the Dragon Court or why it is so important. The Dragon Court and the Illuminati are one and the same. Now, here is the real shocker: members of Maj are illuminati/Dragons as well. They want the world to believe that it is ETs that want to kill humanity, but it is not. The fact is that the same group of rich and powerful people have been working together to rid themselves of the pesty "middle class" whom they regard as poseurs and troublesome because the middle class has morals and believes in laws etc. It is the pesky middle class that unseated the royals in Europe and has clamored for rich people to be jailed when they commit crimes.

One of the most favorite tricks of the Illuminati is to create what appear to be two sides to an issue. These two sides battle things out until a new compromise point is reached. This process is called a "dialectic." However, what the Illuminati do is to create/mold and guide BOTH SIDES. It was the Illuminati who funded Marx and the UNITED STATES at the same time. It was the Illuminati who funded Hitler and his opponents at the same time.
It is the Illuminati who have funded both the democrats and republicans in the US as well as the various versions of the liberal and conservative parties all over the world. It was the Illuminati who convinced the public that having more than two parties leads to anarchy.

How have these people controlled the world so well? By owning all the central banks and the primary source of energy. Who are some of their members? You probably know that the royalty of the Netherlands are Illuminati, but what you might not know is that so are the Rockefellers, the Bushes, the Cheneys and most of the Whos who in the Skull and Bones, Bilderbergers, Trilaterals etc. For many years, the primary person pulling the strings behind the scenes was John D. Rockefeller...then it was David Rockefeller. John was a serious Christian who just committed a lot of sins. David, evidently decided, that it since John ended up barracaded in his house with his dead wife's body that it was better to be evil and behind the scenes.

If you aren't familiar with history, all of this is going to sound very strange to you, so let me suggest some reading that will get you up to speed very very fast. Google "The Plot to Steal the White House." You will discover that some of the wealthiest families in this country tried to take the US fascist in the 40s AND THEY FUNDED HITLER BEHIND THE SCENES. If you look at the picture of Ike signing the standing military law (against the Constitution--by the way), the man standing next to him in the photo is: PRESCOTT BUSH. That is not an accident. The Bushes have long been Rockefeller lackeys until they decided to scoop up their own power...source. I would also suggest reading Michael Crichton's book, "Prey."

The Illuminati and certain crooked Maj members have been trying to genetically engineer themselves to become a new "super race" based upon the reptilian race from Alpha Draconis. They wanted to kill off everyone but about 500 million people who would become their servants in the NWO. They believed that they would be safe from the various viruses that they set loose because of their "dragon" blood. They were against disclosure because they knew that if the public realized that there was never any need to pollute the world with radioactivity, petrochemicals and artificial fertilizers because WE HAD BEEN OFFERED FREE ENERGY ETC....the public would be outraged. They would realize that they had been conned simply to make several very greedy families extremely wealthy.

The plot against humanity is even worse, but let's leave this discussion until next time...along with "why worship Lucifer?"

MK; as mjc just reminded me about the Turkish UFOs, we've often covered some of these subjects already in detail. Check your mail later; you need a copy of the YellowBook (courtesy of UncleJohn, who has diligently archived it from the beginning 5 years ago), which is the Golden Thread from Day One, complete with nearly all the reference materials we refer to, including all the videos, documents, images, etc. We have discussed these issues before to varying degrees although I haven't heard of the term "Dragon Court" before you so termed it. I would be particularly interested in the effort in the 1940s in the US, though we've discussed the Bush's alliances with fascism frequently. BTW, it was Nathan Rothschild himself who wrote out the check to Karl Marx for The Communist Manifesto (or was it Das Kapital?).....the check was on display in the British Museum up until recently, when it mysteriously disappeared (probably right around the time that the 'interested few' became aware of the Rothschild's true scope of power).

Kevin Smith's latest show asked the question: "Is the Poleshift underway?" His guest at the other end of the telephone was someone called Walter Bosley, who claims to be a former USAF OSI Special Agent. Bosley and the host went on to discuss the data from Gravity Probe B, the "tear" in the ionosphere, and the nine seismic events that had taken place recently along the shifting Magnetic north pole between 4 and 6 on the Richter Scale during an 18 hour period. Bosley said all these anomalies were good evidence for the beginnings of a pole shift. He said that the magnetic north pole was moving around faster than usual -- 41km this year compared with 10 km 3 years ago. He explained this as the new position that the North pole "was going to set in."

Bosley thinks the effects of the shift are going to be cataclysmic, with the earth wobbling between 17 and 20 degrees before it sets in its new position.

The funny thing is Bosley got cut off as he and Smith were discussing safe places to ride out the poleshift in continental USA. Perhaps the phone line got the chop deliberately by the spooks listening in, although Kevin Smith's beeping telephone system does occasionally throw a spanner into the works.

When they did talk about safe places, the guest served up nothing new -- telling listeners to "follow the money" to the Denver/Colorado area. I think he recommended that the further east you go, the safer you'll be, until Kevin Smith brought up the prospect of Yellowstone Park blowing to Kingdom Come. Later on, Smith mentioned the New Madrid fault, and said that the Mississippi river is the actual faultline itself, which I never knew.

When the subject switched to why we haven't heard of being in a binary star system in mainstream life, Bosley went off on a tangent and spoke about the hollow earth theory and a possible binary twin "sun" residing in the centre of the earth. He did admit it sounded ludicrous -- too right -- but revealed to Smith that he had been told this info by a former employee of the Atomic Energy Commission who had also worked at Area 51, or something like that.

Nothing you should worry about Dex, your heart and soul is pure, a gentle soul. You and your loved ones will be shielded by Love. As will all others with such a heart.


Can't say the same for Wall Street though and kingdoms built by the elite and Illuminati. Their world will be ripped from their grip and the gold ripped from their bodies. As good Old Mother Earth turns them over her knee and delivers a spanking powerful enough to knock out their gold teeth from their mouths as they cry out for mercy.

Another mysterious episode of severed fibre optic undersea cables/lines, eh, CB.

France Telecom have said one cut line is located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, but the main damage has been done to three of the four submarine cables running across the Mediterranean and through the Suez Canal. If the fourth cable breaks, then that means a total blackout for the Middle East...

VIDEO! Prisoner-Transport Rail Cars outside NYC

Ridgefield, NJ -- A couple years ago I started hearing about prisoner transport rail cars being ordered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the people reporting about the rail cars, they were to be used for mass round-ups of people in the USA.

I didn't think too much of it. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist.

Later, I started seeing photos of the FEMA prisoner rail cars ( as shown below) and seeing the photos made me wonder if the conspiracy theorists were actually on to something?

I put the memory of the rail car image in the back of my mind and went on with life.

On Tuesday, December 16, 2008, I was traveling in my car down the New Jersey Turnpike near my home. As I approached mile marker 116.6, I saw something that shook me to my very core: the exact same Prisoner-Transport-Rail-Cars as I had seen on the internet!

These rail cars were secreted away in a remote rail yard near the Public Service Electric Generating Station in Ridgefield, NJ, just 6 miles north, northwest of New York City!

It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when I first saw them and this being Winter, the sun sets around 5. So I raced home, got my video camera and raced back. I brought a hand held 2 million candlepower spotlight with me just in case.

When I arrived back, I was able to get pretty decent video of the first 7 prisoner rail cars. There were MANY more.

These rail cars are what OUR OWN GOVERNMENT is planning to use when they start rounding up "dissidents" and anyone else opposed to the "New World Order (NWO).

Each rail car has two levels, each level with 125 sets of shackles anchored to the walls or floor. Each car thus can transport 250 people. There are no bathrooms. People placed in these rail cars will be treated literally as cattle.

Those who are rounded up will go either to re-education camps or, if they are staunch supporters of a sovereign United States who will not accept being merged into a one world government, they will be killed.

The NWO is actually estimating they will need to kill between 20 and 25 million of us!

Here now, is the video proving these prisoner rail cars actually do exist and they are now being pre-positioned around the country. I personally shot this video on Tuesday, December 16, 2008.

Perhaps this story belongs with the below....

Can it really happen here in the USA, could the NWO get away with it Concentration Camps Death Camps?

Well it happened here....

Some quarter million men, women and children. went down those steps into the dressing room and they came out as ash.

This is just one in the death camp. It had four buildings as such and two part time gas chambers. The ovens ran for 20 hours a day for 2 half years and when they the ovens couldn't keep up with the killing. The victims were forced to run naked to the edge of mass graves and shot in the back of the neck by guards.

I see the other forum has taken upon it self to disrespect the Wolf.

Being a Balt Latvian (Balts btw Lativans, Lithiananians and Estonians were the ONLY Pre-Christen Pagans societies that literally had god of Wolves and Shapeshifters: Vilkis literal translation: “He whose Eyes Glow”) and one who loves this animal since child hood I’d like to set the record straight and clear up some mis conceptions about this most beautiful animal and embodiment of Natural.

Contrary to Fable, Myth, and out right Lies.

Wolf Attacks on Humans (threw out history) are very very very rare. In chance you have a better chance being stuck by lightening, killed by your fellow human then attacked by a wolf.

Wolves and Humans are Top Predators of the Animal Kingdom Humans first and Wolves second. Wolves know this and AVOID humans at all costs. Even so Wolves have been known threw out history to adopt and raise abandoned human children as their Pack Members.

Wolves have a HIGHLY complex Society and Social Structure only comparable to Human Society.

Wolves very rarely if ever are violent to one another choosing instead highly ritualized theatrical displays of Dominance and Submission to get their point across to fellow wolf.


When Wolves hunt its for Survival..

When Humans hunt its often for SPORT and THRILL of Killing. Something all humans should consider.. As to whose really violent.

Wolves mate for Life. If they lose their pair bond, the surviving Wolf will often choose starvation and death joining their mate, instead of taking another.

In Pre-Christian, Nature Religions and Pagan Cultures from North America across the Globe. The Wolf was viewed as a living Symbol of the Noblest Virtures.

Courage
Strength
Loyalty
Wisdom
Honor

And often linked to

Magic
Supernatural
Spiritual World
Afterlife (it was believed by many cultures past and few present) that Wolves were the re-incarnated Spirits of our Ancestry.


In my own homeland Lativa (as well as Lithuania, Estonia and some Norse countries) Wolves were even raised to level of Gods of Forest, Vilkis (personal Pronoun) according to mythology taught the Baltic Tribes the power of the Wolf and Supernatural Arts of Survival as well as Shapeshifiting. Thus assuring our survival in what was then the primordial forests following creation of the Earth.

Indeed the very WereWolf Legends of Europe have their Origins not in Romania but Baltic Countries.

An can be traced back to historical Battle Between was then Teutonic Knights of “Holy Brothers of the Sword” Christian Crusader Knights sent into Baltic Tribal Lands to “Convert the Heathen to the Cross or Give then the Sword!”

The Battle of Saul spills (btw translated Fort of the Sun), in Western Lativa the terror try of Latagalian tribe (then called Lettland) in 1378 ad.

A force of 25,000 Knights had invaded Latagale and began their murderers rampage across our lands. Teaching us the love of their God, by way of sword and death. At Saul pills they encamped before their plans to raise this high holy Pagan stronghold of the Latvians. Starving and out numbered 5 to 1. 5000 Latvian Men, Women, Elderly and Children walked out onto the field. To face them.

The Christian account of the battle (which remains today) spoke of them as deathly silent for a period of hour before the Pagan Druid led them in their “Superstitions” Rituals. Though the Teutonic (German) Knights could make out the God being invoked .. Vilkis. Upon completion of the ritual in Full Moon. Christian Knights let out a great laugh as 5000 Heathens charged the field in what was in Knights bravado a suicide attack for they had the upper hand in equipment and horse.

Only 9 Knights made it back to Christian fort of Riga three months later. Four of the Knights had gone insane and the other five gave account after account of “The Devil Leading 5000 Were-Wolves” against them. Accounts of the 5000 literally in charge turning from men into wolves right before their eyes. Before descending upon their battle lines.

Well I don’t know how much truth resides in the Historical Christian Account. But it did give rise to Were-Wolf Legends of Europe.

Today in Latagale Latvia.. Saulspills hill fort still stands as a Historical Site. In the actual battle field, farmers still plow out Knight Armor on occasion.

An in Latagale Latvia we have a saying.

“Best not leave the Moon shining on your child in its bed; close the drapes at night, For they may in their sleep run wild with the wolves at night.” Taught to me by my Pagan Latvian Grand Mom as she tucked me bed at night.

Other Facts About Wolves.


By vortogon

Dear Don,

I am really looking forward to the Yellow Book as being redundant is something that I really want to avoid. I will see if I can find the newspapers articles that you would be the most interested in regarding the activity in the 40s. Some of the materials that I have read are explosive. The Dragon Court is the same as the Merovingian bloodline, the Priory of Sion etc. They all relate to the effort of a small group of people to establish their "divine" right to "rule." The metaphor changes, but the activity is the same.

Kennedy actually referenced Marx's employer in one of the speeches that he gave about the necessity for the absolute and unfettered "freedom of the press." As you probably know, Kennedy ran afoul of the cabal members with two actions: his executive order to dismantle the Fed and his desire to reveal the existence of ETs.

I have to go through my files to get you the articles that you would most benefit from. I am giving you information from memory right now, but I want to convey the SCOPE of perfidiousness of certain members of society worldwide. It is pretty disgusting, but it pales in comparison to what they have done over the last 40 years.

Just so I won't belabor something that this august groups already knows, I would like to ask a few questions:

*how much does the group understand about the klugy activity known as "genetic engineering"

*how much does the group know about nanotechnology and what it's real dangers are?

*how much does the group understand about reproduction, endocrinology etc. and how these systems interact?

I am asking these questions as a prelude to explaining the implications of some of the idiotic decisions made by those who would presume to determine the fate of humanity--the species. There are things going on worldwide that are scary and quite unusual. In particular, there appears to be a historically unnatural higher population of men than women. Do not believe the "cheerful" tone given out by US agencies right now. The numbers are not accurate. Right now, the US has the highest infant mortality in the industrial world.

Looking forward to the Yellow Book.

The McCormack-Dickstein Committee (1934-1935)

By Richard Sanders, Editor, Press for Conversion!

This House committee was named after its chairman and vice chairman, John W. McCormack and Samuel Dickstein. It was called the Special Committee on Un-American Activities Authorized to Investigate Nazi Propaganda and Certain Other Propaganda Activities. In 1934, it held public and private hearings in six cities, questioned hundreds of witnesses and collected testimony filling 4,300 pages. Its mandate was to get “information on how foreign subversive propaganda entered the U.S. and the organizations that were spreading it.”

It did not do well in dealing with homegrown U.S. fascists, nor did it consider how Americans helped spread fascism abroad. It did investigate the fascist plot to seize the White House, but was criticized by John Spivak, Smedley Butler and others, for not revealing – let alone questioning – the powerful men behind the plot. Although it spent more time tracking communist activities than it did fascist ones, its final report on Feb. 15, 1935, did substantiate the truth of the fascist plot. Despite its shortcomings, it was the only “un-American” committee to investigate fascism. It was quickly disbanded and replaced with another such committee that focused entirely on pursuing communists.

The House of Morgan

By Richard Sanders, Editor, Press for Conversion!

Many of those instrumental in the plot to oust FDR were linked to Wall Street’s wealthiest banker, J.P. Morgan, Jr. They connected through a variety of banks and corporations that Morgan controlled. Likewise, many of the American Liberty League’s key organizers and funders were also tied to Morgan’s business concerns.
In 1934, when Jerry MacGuire was in Paris studying how veterans’ groups, such as France’s Croix de feu, were used to empower fascist movements and governments, he worked out of J.P. Morgan’s offices. MacGuire also told General Butler that a meeting was held at Morgan & Harjes offices to discuss who would lead the superarmy that Wall Street plotters wanted to use in their plot to seize the White House.

Pioneering antifascist journalist, John Spivak, considered J.P. Morgan, Jr., to be the “ultimate fountain-head of the whole fascist conspiracy of Wall Street” (New Masses, Feb. 5, 1935). Who was this banker that played such a key part behind the scenes? To understand his role, consider this statement by authors of the groundbreaking 1934 book, Merchants of Death:

"In the U.S., the banker is the all-important person in industry.... While few cases are known where an important government official or member of Congress has been a director of an armament firm, all arms manufacturers have important financial connections. In the Morgan group will be found the DuPont Co., Bethlehem Steel Corp., U.S. Steel Corp., together with copper, oil, electric appliances, locomotive, telephone and telegraph interests. This tie-up also leads over into the great banks, including the National City, Corn Exchange, Chase National, etc. It is the Morgan Group of corporation clients and banks which dominate the American arms industry" (Engelbrecht and Hanighen).

The foundation stones of the great House of Morgan banking empire were laid by Junius Spencer Morgan (1813-1890). Living in England, he hailed from a solid New England family of merchants. In 1854, he became a partner in a London bank owned by George Peabody. Ten years later, Morgan took over the bank, renamed it J.S. Morgan & Co. and engaged in foreign exchange and gold speculation.

Meanwhile, his son, John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913), was being groomed for business. He was sent to Boston’s English high school and then to German universities in Stutingen and Gottingen. The year 1861, was auspicious for young Pierpont. He started his own bank in New York, calling it J.P. Morgan & Co. He sold European securities underwritten by his father’s bank in England.

That was also the first year of the Civil War. Pierpont was 24 and like Andrew Carnegie, Grover Cleveland, Philip Armour, John D. Rockefeller and other privileged young members of the elite class, he paid to avoid military service. Also, like other Robber Barons, he profited greatly from this war and the string of other U.S. wars that followed.

It was in 1861 that Morgan pulled off a cunning scam foreshadowing his career as a high-class confidence man and his tremendous lack of moral scruples. In the 1850’s, the U.S. army had

“condemned as obsolete and dangerous some rifles…. These rifles were...sold by auction… [for] between $1 and $2, probably as curios.” In 1861, he bought 5,000 of the useless weapons for $3.50 each and sold them back to the Army for $22 apiece, making $92,500, a small fortune.
When [General] Frémont’s soldiers tried to fire these ‘new carbines in perfect condition,’ they shot off their own thumbs…. The government refused to pay Morgan’s bill. Morgan promptly sued the govern-ment…. A special commission… allowed half of [his] claim, and proposed to pay $13.31 a carbine. Morgan… sued [again] …and the court promptly awarded him the full sum, because ‘a contract is sacred’" (Engelbrecht and Hanighen, 1934).

After the Civil War, Morgan loaned money to the U.S. treasury at high interest rates. In 1871, he financing the Army’s payroll and in 1877, he refinanced the government’s debt. After his father, Junius, died in 1890, J.P. Morgan began consolidating the family empire. He put himself at the helm of their four main firms, in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris. Several times in the 1890s, he sold the government gold to shore up the dollar. He also sold official U.S. and British government bonds.

By 1900, Morgan was the main financial force behind several huge monopolies. In 1901, his wealth pulled together the world’s first billion dollar corporation, U.S. Steel. That year, Morgan and rival John D. Rockefeller, also collaborated by creating the Northern Securities Corporation. Morgan interests held 341 directorships in 112 corporations worth $22.2 billion; twice the total value of all property in 13 southern U.S. states.

"The heart of the American economy had been put under one roof, from banking and steel to railroads, urban transit, communications, the merchant marine, insurance, electric utilities, rubber, paper, sugar refining, copper, and assorted other mainstays of the industrial infrastructure" (Korten, 1995).

In 1913, J.P. Morgan died, and his son, J.P. Morgan, Jr. (1867-1943), took over. That year, Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act giving all responsibility for producing and valuing U.S. money to the Federal Reserve System, a group of privately-owned banks. Although U.S. presidents appoint its chairman, Fed decisions are independent. Its creation gave Morgan even more control over monetary levers of power.

In 1914, Morgan’s company became Britain’s official agent for purchasing U.S. goods such as weapons. This was especially lucrative during WWI, when the Allies, mostly Britain, spent $2 billion in America. Morgan’s interests in military sales explain his role in forming the Navy League, which pushed the U.S. into WWI. The League also represented Bethlehem Steel, International Nickel and Carnegie Steel. In 1915, when President Wilson "lifted the ban on private bank loans to the Allies, Morgan [began] lending money in such great amounts as to both make great profit and tie American finance closely to the interest of a British victory in the war" (Howard Zinn, 1995).

The American Legion was the main WWI veteran’s group. Morgan was among its wealthy financiers. He donated $100,000 to its creation:

"At its core were tens of thousands... committed to doing street battle with ‘reds.’ The Legion had been founded by officers as a conscious attempt to rein in angry soldiers who, it was feared, would come home from the war with their head full of Bolshevik ideas" (Ann Zirin, 2002).

Morgan also funded the rise of Italian fascism, in fact, his company was Mussolini’s main overseas bank. In 1926, Morgan partner, Thomas Lamont, who was later the chair of J.P. Morgan Co., secured a $100 million loan for Mussolini. As Noam Chomsky put it, Morgan’s man Thomas Lamont:

described himself as ‘something like a missionary’ for Italian Fascism, expressing his admiration for Il Duce, ‘a very upstanding chap’ who had ‘done a great job in Italy’ and for the ‘sound ideas’ that guide him in governing the country (1991).

In 1930, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was created using the “Young Plan,” after Morgan banker, Owen D. Young. Its supposed purpose was to funnel German money to the Allies in reparation for WWI. In reality, the BIS funneled money into Germany to rebuilt its might. Inspired by Hitler’s Economics Minister and Reichsbank president, Hjalmar Schacht, who had lived in Brooklyn, the BIS was owned by the world’s largest central banks, including Morgan’s First National Bank of New York, the Federal Reserve of New York, the Reichsbank and the central Banks of England, Italy and France.

"Sensing Hitler’s lust for war and conquest, Schacht, even before Hitler rose to power in the Reichstag, pushed for an institution that would retain channels of communication and collusion between the world’s financial leaders even in the event of an international conflict. It was written into the Bank’s charter, concurred in by the respective gov-ernments, that the BIS should be immune from seizure, closure or censure, whether or not its owners were at war. The BIS was com-pletely under Hitler’s control by the outbreak of WWII" (Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983).

The BIS board included Hermann Shmitz, head of I.G. Farben, the Nazi’s biggest industrial monopoly; Baron Kurt von Schroder, head of Cologne’s J.H. Stein Bank; Walther Funk, a leading Gestapo officer and Reichsbank financier; and Emil Puhlon, a personal appointee of Hitler. Presiding over the Board between 1939 and 1946, was Thomas McKittrick, a U.S. corporate law-yer from Lee, Higginson & Co, that made large loans to the Third Reich.

In 1944, McKittrick met with “his German, Japanese, Italian, British and American executive staff” to discuss

“the $378 million in gold that had been sent to the Bank by the Nazi government after Pearl Harbor for use by its leaders after the war.” Higham explains that this gold “had been looted from the national banks of Austria, Holland, Belgium and Czechoslovakia, or melted down from the Reichsbank holding of the teeth fillings, spectacle frames, cigarette cases and lighters and wedding rings of the murdered Jews.”

As for Morgan’s own bank, it kept a branch open for business in Nazi-occupied France to serve German interests throughout the war.

Morgan’s banking empire has continued to grow and prosper. When Asian markets collapsed in the 1990s, the IMF and U.S. taxpayers spent billions bailing out huge banks like J.P. Morgan, Chase Manhattan, Citicorp and BankAmerica, even though these Wall Street pirates had raked in Asian profits for decades. When Indonesia finally purged itself of General Suharto, the dictator who took over in a CIA bloodbath killing hundreds of thousands of communists, a J.P. Morgan “currency expert,” Ron Leven, said: “Democracy is a desirable form of government, but it’s not necessarily the most efficient form of government.”

J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup provided Enron with billions, stage-managing its huge investment deals around the world and arranging a fire-sale buyout by Dynergy that failed. Morgan also played financial backstop for Enron’s various kinds of trading transactions (William Greider, 2002).

In one of the biggest deals ever, J.P. Morgan and Bank One recently agreed to merge to create the world’s second-largest financial enterprise. It will have $1.1 trillion in assets.
