HSBC, Empire Of The City: D.C., London, Vatican City

Now this is interesting.  Maybe HSBC's recent forced account closures have something to do with this.  from yesterday's news:

HSBC has asked foreign diplomats in London to close their accounts as part of efforts to reduce business risks.
Among those who have been asked to stop using the UK's biggest bank are the Vatican, Papua New Guinea and the west African nation of Benin.
More than 40 embassies, consulates and high commissions are said to be affected, with their position made worse by other banks' refusal to take their custom.
The decision is reported to have created “havoc” for the diplomatic missions, according to one official, told the Mail on Sunday that consulates need a bank “not just to take in money for visas and passports but to pay staff wages, rent bills and even the congestion charge.”
Following fines by US authorities for allowing alleged money laundering activities last year, the bank has announced that embassies were subject to certain 'safety' assessments, similar to other business customers.

Then there's this old video, back from the beginning of this revolution.



Sure looks familiar to me but I am spending hours every day reading and listening to alternative news.  I could be wrong.
