When exactly did Brettan Woods end again? -- Well, this seems more Kissenger....

WHISTLEBLOWING website WikiLeaks was today to publish more than 1.7 million US diplomatic and intelligence documents from the 1970s, its Australian founder Julian Assange revealed.

The website has collated a variety of records including cables, intelligence reports and congressional correspondence and is releasing them in a searchable form....

The new records, dating from the beginning of 1973 to the end of 1976, have not been leaked and are available to view at the US national archives. They include many communications which were sent by or to then US secretary of state Henry Kissinger.

Many of the documents, which WikiLeaks has called the Public Library of US Diplomacy (PlusD), are marked NODIS (no distribution) or Eyes Only, while others were originally marked as secret.

Mr Assange fled to the Ecuadorian embassy in June after losing his battle in the British courts against extradition to Sweden.

Ecuador granted him asylum in August but Britain has refused to allow him safe passage out of the country, sparking a diplomatic stalemate.

IMF?

Setting up a system of rules, institutions, and procedures to regulate the international monetary system, the planners at Bretton Woods established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which today is part of the World Bank Group. These organizations became operational in 1945 after a sufficient number of countries had ratified the agreement.

I'm sort of flashing back on some weird things happening in reference to countries signing on. I'm thinking signing on wasn't just an, Oh sure, what a nice ideal sort of a thing. I think some of it came up from another direction.


Anyway I hope what he has is some beef. Lots of odd things were going down back then. I'm not sure how much of it could shed light on the activities of today though.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.


Is this the Cracken?
