There has been a lot of chatter lately about behind the scene arrests. Not much has transpired into the media since, but now it seems that as of this month, it is starting to show. Though not in the form of arrests, the resignations mean much because most of these people are the engineer of the financial/economic section of the Elite structure. It is true that the major player are still freely walking Earth, but now it feels like their time is soon to be up.
Ok, so here’s the list:

UPDATE:

Bank feud: Chairman Giles quits VNB with other directors

A feud over corporate governance compounded an already painful December for a major Central Virginia financial institution. Virginia National Bank has experienced a leadership shake-up that has seen nearly one third of the board of trustees quit including the chairman, Mark Giles.
“My resignation is effective immediately,” Giles tells President Glenn Rust in a December 19 letter that followed an apparently contentious meeting earlier that day.
Update 2:
How could I forget that? That’s some major news!
Arrests made in Italy after discovery of $6 trillion in fake U.S. bonds
edition.cnn.com…
Italian authorities on Friday arrested eight people in possession of an estimated $6 trillion in counterfeit U.S. Treasury bonds, according to Italian paramilitary police and an Italian news agency. The discovery of the fake bonds — made to look as if they were printed by the U.S. Federal Reserve in 1934 — came about as part of an investigation into a local mafia association.
No, they weren’t fake bonds. You don’t fake 6 trillions, then sell them to some investor and get away alive with it. It just doesn’t happen this way, you sell 6 trillion fake bonds and you won’t even last a day. No one will buy 6 trillion fake bonds, because when you make such a purchase, you make sure it is not faked. So partial disclosure by the media? Yes, I think.
EDIT 3:
Four Priests Charged In Vatican Banking Scandal
www.ascensionearth2012.blogspot.com…
Italian investigators have charged four priests with laundering money out of the Vatican’s official bank, the Institute for the Works of Religion, the National Catholic Reporter’s John L. Allen Jr. writes. The Italian daily l’Unita was the first to report that the priests were being investigated for laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s the latest in a series of investigations into Vatican finances dating back to 2010.
In December of that year, Pope Benedict XVI decreed an updated anti-money laundering law for Vatican finances.
We all know the evil actions of the Vatican and the Vatican Bank, so add them to the list of resignations/arrests going on NOW as we speak.
