Who is Benjamin Fulford?
JAPUNDIT’s good friend Danny Bloom wrote in to alert us to a gaijin resident of a Japan named Benjamin Fulford.
The son of a Canadian diplomat, Benjamin Fulford rebelled against his upbringing and at the age of 17 made his way to the Amazon to live with a native tribe. Wanting to better understand Western society, he spent time in a community in Argentina before attending university in Japan.
Principled, brave, and still a diehard idealist, he resigned as Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine after investigating a scandal the editor refused to report. As he researched global affairs further, he uncovered the complex web of global financial control at the hands of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds – and also the reality of racially targeted bioweapons such as SARS.
It was these plans for depopulation that upset some powerful factions in Japan, Taiwan and China. After being approached by a real-life Ninja, matters came to a head in 2007 when Fulford became the first Westerner for 500 years to be admitted into the Eastern Secret Societies, a group with 6 million members. As their spokesman, he delivered a simple message to the Illuminati:
Recognize that your time is over, step down without a fight, and allow the world to thrive – or face the consequences from 100,000 professional assassins.
Armed with an optimistic vision, Fulford is prepared to be the next Finance Minister of Japan. His plans to spend Japan’s $5 trillion of foreign reserves to end world poverty are inspiring as practical steps to repair generations of damage done by a ruthless ruling elite. This is a man with a deep understanding of both East and West, a global economic historian who thinks way outside of the box, a lover of peace unafraid to speak warrior words.
Now, if you think THAT was weird, check out the interviews that Fulford taped for Project Camelot.
Well, Japundits, what do you think?
Poor Mari….she’s my favorite. If I ever become a j-pop singer and part of the...
Shes definitely at the top of my hot list.
perfeckt 10:10
In all seriousness, I think the guy is mentally ill.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:44 amRather a shame. If he had a few more screws, he could have become a wonderful novelist.
Some Japanese will buy anything that tells them they are the victims of a Western, preferably Jewish, conspiracy.
March 25th, 2008 at 7:21 amCome on guys, attack the issues, not the person.
March 25th, 2008 at 10:26 amIssues?
There are no issues to discuss. Absurd and ridiculous statements don’t require addressing in any sane society.
I say aliens are inseminating the world’s banana supply in an attempt to interbreed with humans
Now, are you going to waste your time arguing against that on its merits?
I suppose one could say that, if large numbers of people start to believe an absurd claim (9/11 truthers, anyone?), then we would obligated to
argue against it.
But, on the other hand, the suspension of all logic and inquisitive thought required to believe these things would make them impermeable to reason.
By the way, I watched the first video, and also got the impression that he is suffering from mental illness. He’s probably a very smart guy, and it’s a shame that the media is using him for an easy story.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:15 pmI checked Amazon and found that a number of his publications can be had for under 100 yen. In fact, you can buy two or three at a time and still be under 100 yen!
What a bargain! Of course there are those who will argue that you get what you pay for.
Party poopers.
March 25th, 2008 at 2:57 pmI hope all of you realize that your names probably will be added to the list of victims that is handed out to the secret society death squads.
March 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pmWell, I don’t know. He may be onto something.
I’ve personally long suspected the mass media of deliberately perpetrating a hoax upon the unsuspecting public. According to experts in the field, the coyote can reach speeds up to 43 miles per hour in pursuit of its prey. Now the roadrunner maxes out at about 15mph, and yet we are constantly deluged with scenes of one particular roadrunner speeding away from a coyote.
Are we expected to believe that nature has somehow conjured up this one super-roadrunner? Given it at minimum (based on my personal observation of such pursuits) 10 times its ordinary speed? TO say nothing of a lifespan years longer than normal?
DO THEY REALLY EXPECT US TO JUST ACCEPT THIS NONSENSE!!!
I refuse to cowed by these Cowardly Coyote Conspirators. They cannot and will not break my will to reveal the truth behind their lies. Even at the risk of my own life, I intend to unmask them and restore the abused reputation of Canis latrans to the respect and honor it richly deserves. Your monetary contributions to this vital cause will be most appreciated.
March 25th, 2008 at 3:47 pmThis is what happens to the newsies. Look at Dan Rather.
March 25th, 2008 at 5:01 pmEven Benjamin Fulford talks sometimes with radical expressions, I find his stories are VERY true. I don’t understand much about underground links between Japanese gangsters (Yukuza), bureaucrats, high politicians and some dirty industries, it’s not unlikely what’s happening in real society.
He is neither mentally ill nor crazy conspiracy theorist nor agitator who talks useless absurd and ridiculous statements. Those are authentic disgusting issues. We need a lot more fighting journalists like him, who will reveal and uncover the reality under the issues which cannot be covered in mass media.
Thus, he probably lacks academic background on politics, economy and finance. And it’s generally quite misleading to say that whole Japan is full of secret society.
March 25th, 2008 at 9:13 pmAs the only moderator here, I would suggest that moderation of the comments be left up to moi. . .
March 25th, 2008 at 11:28 pmHeh. Right. He’s a journalist. So is Arsenio Hall. The man is OBVIOUSLY a paranoid schizophrenic. One of my students got tricked into listening to a speech he gave, and apparently he claimed that the person he met who told him about the Super Secret Ninja club was superhuman, and had a ring with an oni on it that would kill anyone it touched.
March 25th, 2008 at 11:34 pmIf you don’t think he’s insane, it’s quite likely that you too are insane. And for the record, anyone with even a basic appreciation of science knows that 9/11 was NOT an inside job. Even Noam Chomsky doesn’t buy that story, and we all know how he feels about the US government.
In the above interview, Fulford makes the same claim about the devil ring, with horns that can kill you with a touch.
March 25th, 2008 at 11:54 pmTranzic :
He is certainly not a moderate person, but it doesn’t mean he is insane as you say. You know he hates the US politics. But, whether 9/11 was an inside job or not (I cannot judge it), one thing was true that there were many people in the US who wanted to start war. You could agree with the opinion that we have to think about what to do but make war.
Anyway, what he claims about Japanese politics is sometimes quite extreme but not insane.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:44 amOooh, I’d love to jump in here and debate 9/11 with you guys, but I think Edward has a policy about keeping it Japan-related. With that in mind, about two years ago, Benjamin Fulford was on a popular Sunday afternoon talk show in Japan, claiming that 9/11 was an inside job. As you would expect, he was laughed off by the “expert” panel of Japanese “talento”. However, in January this year, broadcast live on NHK, the DPJ presented unanswered questions about 9/11 to the prime minister and his cabinet in the Japanese Diet. They were trying to establish whether Japan had done a criminal investigation into the attacks in New York that killed 24 Japanese citizens. This was on the eve of the LDP renewing the oil refueling mission in the “war on terror”, arguing that since there is no evidence connecting Afghanistan to 9/11, the mission is unjustified. Anyway, they discussed the usual hole in the Pentagon and World Trade Center 7, and everyone agreed that they had no answers. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube.
The “collapse” of World Trade Center 7 has never been satisfactorily explained (the 9/11 Commission didn’t even mention it in their report), and no-one in their right mind can deny that it “looks” like a demolition, and no-one can deny that it is still the only steel building to have ever collapsed by fire (without an airplane involved), and no-one can deny that the BBC reported its collapse before it even fell, and no-one can deny that it was home to the IRS, CIA and Secret Service, and the owner Larry Silverstein said that he told the fire fighters to “pull it”.
Add all these things up, together with hundreds more anomalies about the events of that day, and you may find yourself going down the rabbit hole like Benjamin Fulford.
March 26th, 2008 at 9:09 amDo us all a favor and pull the cover back on as you head down that rabbit hole — not everyone appreciates the stench of bovine faeces.
March 26th, 2008 at 10:05 amI don’t suppose this will help, but Tofu seems like a nice guy so….
When you start to believe these conspiracy theories, first take a deep breath.
Then, sit down for a minute, and ask yourself how they pulled it off. Concentrate. Don’t turn on the TV or let your mind wander. Imagine you are actually planning the conspiracy yourself.
Specifically lay out the plan for your conspiracy (decimating Asians through SARS, 9/11, whatever). Ask yourself how many people would have to be involved. In most cases, you will find it adds up to thousands of people in on your plan. And they must all remain silent.
Now, remember, this is not a Hollywood movie. These business leaders, politicians and even journalists are real people, like you and me. Think of the ones you actually know. Do you imagine they have this terribly evil and efficiently cruel side? And that they then go off to their kid’s soccer match with Mom? In fact, can you think of even one person you know who was exposed to be this sort of man? Or woman?
Just start there. Really, the mental gymnastics required to stand by these conspiracy theories are astounding, as there are so many facts that need to be explained.
On the other hand, the simpler explanations work pretty well.
I understand why you like conspiracies. In the absence of any spiritual beliefs, they make you feel that someone is actually in charge of things – even if they are evil. An evil mastermind is still better than chaos, which is really scary.
I said Mr. Fulford is mentally ill, not so much because of what he says, but simply by watching his mannerisms on video. And, frankly, that makes me feel sorry for him.
It’s the perfectly sane people who choose to propagate obviously insane, offensive and even dangerous paranoia that bother me.
Just bloody think about it.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:12 amI don’t know. . . I just can’t imagine a group of business executives or government officials sitting around a table discussing strategy, when one suddenly raises his hand and says, “Let’s blow up the World Trade Center,” or “Let’s send a civilian aircraft over the Kamchatka Penninsula and see what the Soviets do,” or “Let’s let loose a killer virus.”
March 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pmThank you for the post Nick, but I think you’ll find that once you do a bit of research into skeptical takes on the “truth movement,” almost all of your points fall apart. I’m definitely opposed to the war in Iraq, and worked as a political journalist in America before getting sick of the state of things and deciding to come over here to work in education. I used to believe the conspiracy too, but once I actually started looking at the evidence and where it was coming from, it all became obvious for what it was; inexpert and unscientific ramblings coming from people not qualified or motivated to examine the relevant evidence. If you’d like to investigate the opposing arguments, you might enjoy the articles in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibi, the articles in Sketpic Magazine, or the BBC documentary on Loose Change. All of those can be found for free online.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pmA good example of Mr. Fulford’s personality can be seen if you look at his websites and the tracks he leaves behind online. He is clearly of a delusional paranoid mindset, and is also proudly racist. My favorite bit was the article of his titled “Anti-semitism is anti-satanism.” How lovely. The man has quite obviously lost all ability to perceive reality from fiction. His wife divorced him (I suspect) after his psychotic break caused him to lose his job. He has absolutely nothing to live for except these patently absurd ghost stories of his, and to be quite honest, I rather strongly suspect that anyone who is strongly defending his wacko-claims on this thread is just Fulford himself, writing from his laptop and wishing he had a real job.
@Edward, sorry to say, but it has happened before and is now declassified information. Look up “Gulf of Tonkin” and “Operation Northwoods”, and don’t forget there are a couple of wars happening, too.
@Tranzic, I have read so many discussions where people throw links and “evidence” at each other, and no-one ever wins. Rather than do that, I’m just going to ask you to respect the DPJ’s Yukihisa Fujita in his wish to have a criminal investigation carried out into the deaths of the Japanese victims, as would normally be the case.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:30 pmWell Nick, I don’t want to sound like I’m making a personal attack here, but it sounds to me like you’re not willing to look into the opposing viewpoint. As of now, I have three sides of the argument: the governments, the “truthers,” and the scientists/skeptics. By your comment, I’m assuming that you haven’t actually bothered looking in detail at that last set of claims, especially by your use of scare quotes around “evidence” and you claims that “no-one ever wins.” The simple fact of the matter is that none of the issues you brought up hold ANY water at all. That’s right, NONE. Every single claim you made is resolved conclusively in the scientific (or otherwise) literature freely available on the net. I have no compulsion to respect Fujita’s request because it is completely inane.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:46 pmIt’s patently obvious that Iraq had no connection with 9/11, and even the government readily admits that most hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan. In that respect, a request for an investigation would be logical, but once you start introducing ridiculous pseudo-facts such as the building 7 collapse and the issue of the pentagon hole, it loses any relevancy.
The answers to those questions are sitting there waiting for you, and they’re both obvious and satisfying. As for the larger conspiracy issue, I strongly suggest you take Chomsky’s words to heart; he’s far more proficient in politics than you are, I imagine.
Nevertheless, I thank you for your input on this thread, as it’s proven to be quite an interesting discussion for me.
Gulf of Tonkin? No need to look it up, I was around at the time. It was the fictionalization/hyping of a naval encounter which was used as an excuse to ratchet up the U.S. presence in Vietnam. Quite a bit shy of blowing up the twin towers.
Operation Northwoods? It was a plan submitted to McNamara who never approved it. Later President Kennedy removed the guy who was responsible for drafting it. Which goes to show that a plan of the magnitude of what is being claimed concerning 9/11 and Flight 007 to be implemented, it must be approved at various levels by people who understand their actions are subject to declassification sometime in the future.
Then there are the people who actually have to provide logistical support in order to execute the plan. . .
March 26th, 2008 at 2:08 pm@ Tranzic, I have looked at both sides, it’s just that my conclusions differ from yours.
@ Edward, yep, that’s the gist of it, except the guy who Kennedy removed later became Supreme Allied Commander of NATO.
On that note, I’ll try to refrain from dragging this discussion out any longer.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:10 pmNoam Chomsky is a person who I once learned his interesting linguistics analysis along with Ferdinand de Sausssure. As for his politics statements I support his most critics on US policies. Probably, Benjamin Fulford’s conspiracy theory on 9/11 should be wrong. (It reminds me of a similar argument that Pearl Harbor attack was manipulated by the US.)
Sometimes insane reality and insane people are two different things. Usually sane people stop thinking about insane reality. ” It’s the perfectly sane people who choose to propagate obviously insane, offensive and even dangerous paranoia that bother me.” Often people who looks insane can resist insane world and find insane reality. (Or those people looks insane ?)
By the way, ” Anti-Semitism is Anti-Satanism.” and ” I rather strongly suspect that anyone who is strongly defending his wacko-claims on this thread is just Fulford himself, writing from his laptop and wishing he had a real job.” really made me laugh. Thanks.
March 26th, 2008 at 4:12 pmWhat’s sad is that a conspiracy theory like this numbs people into not engaging in actual problems and solutions because it presents the “enemy’ as insurmountable. Japanese politics is Byzantine at best. Making real social change requires something other than believing in mumbo jumbo. It requires actual effort . . . and actual change.
March 26th, 2008 at 10:35 pm911 was an inside job false flag attack like so many others,…..the lusitania, the reichstag fire, pearl harbour, gulf of tonkin, jfk, the port arthur (tasmania) shootings, oklahoma & 7/7 london.
time will tell if benjamin fulford is right
to all those shills that think 911 was the work of some guy in a cave……(to use silverstein’s words) “pull it”
May 31st, 2008 at 11:31 amI agree that many of Fulford’s theories sound bizarre, but the economic and political assumptions underlying them are sound. I don’t know if there are really 6,000,000 Red and Green Society members with assassins poised to kill Western Illuminati etc. But his perception of economic power and his tracing of influence through Western institutions rest on a large volume of credible knowledge that most people are not exposed to.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:30 pmThe above comment was edited to remove a long passage that violates our commenting policy.
JAPUNDIT is a site about Japan, not the United States.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:37 pmOk, I have to admit that some of the language he uses to describe certain things is quite bizarre BUT when he starts getting into current events he brings a wonderful sense of clarity and reason to them.
We can all agree that hes somewhat eccentric but judge a tree by its fruits. Also please don’t attack 9/11 truther or attempt to assassinate his character. Hes different. Lets not fall into the judgemental culture. Hes not doing anything wrong and he seems like a very nice person.
December 5th, 2008 at 1:19 am“Fruit” is one word that definitely comes to mind when listening to Fulford.
December 5th, 2008 at 10:29 am“The web of interrelated causes that keeps us trapped is called karma … But in conceiving karma as a conspiracy, we are overlooking one very important point: nobody is in charge of karma. Karma is what happens in the absence of a conscious intention or deliberate plan. The supposed beneficiaries of the whole thing are just as bewildered as its victims. In fact, it would be truer to say that every one of us is sometimes a beneficiary and sometimes a victim.”

December 13th, 2008 at 8:52 amHow in the hell did the Japanese grant that metal patient a visa?
LOL
Cannot believe you’re giving time to this guy. If I was 4 years old, I think I would have been stoked on the ninja part, though!
December 15th, 2008 at 1:24 pm“is”? As linguistics and meaning were introduced, so (I hope)will be this “Science and Sanity’ by Korzybski as well as the concept of ‘isness’
Derisiveness appears to me to be the first resort in the prevention of actual investigation.
The anal retentive amongst humanity hold on to beliefs requiring deeper thought. By a r’s I mean those who attach the word ‘theories) to conspiracy.
It become safe to assume that long lines behaviour patterns once established will point, with some accuracy, to the likelihood of similar happenings now and in the future.
believing or not believing does not make a thing so or not so. Evidence does that.
December 28th, 2008 at 6:38 amSome of you, need big doses of AKINETON in your veins….
December 29th, 2008 at 5:41 am“Now, are you going to waste your time arguing against that on its merits?
I suppose one could say that, if large numbers of people start to believe an absurd claim (9/11 truthers, anyone?), then we would obligated to
argue against it.”
you’re right of course. everyone knows that an airliner can cause a 100 story+ building to disintegrate into dust.
January 25th, 2009 at 9:32 amI have a severe itching several centimeters below my umbilical cord. Can anybody help me?
January 25th, 2009 at 11:13 amI know this is a forum about Japan but, as I live in Tokyo, and respect many of Benjamin Fulford’s views, I would like to suggest anyone interested in trying to assess who ridiculous or otherwise his beliefs about 9/11 might be should take a look at this website:
http://www.ae911truth.org/
Look at the qualifications of the people who choose to associate themselves with that website and check out the slideshow or the video of the lecture both linked clearly on the left hand panel.
If you only have ten minutes then watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0GHVEKrhng
It certainly is not possible to conclude that “Every single claim [...] is resolved conclusively in the scientific (or otherwise) literature freely available on the net”. Please keep your minds open about 9/11, and by extension about Benjamin Fulford.
April 1st, 2009 at 6:02 pmHmmm … I came here to find more information on Benjamin Fulford, and found a 9/11 discussion. For those who believe in the “New Physics”, that is, the Laws Of Physics that only apply in the United States of America, and no where else in the known universe, 9/11 was an attack by Old Physics Defying Terrorists, heralding in a new era of jaw dropping American stupidity as they contort themselves to explain away all known principles of Physics and Engineering as ‘conspiracy theories’.
For those of us who still understand thermal conductivity, modulus of elasticity of steel, and civil engineering, 9/11 was an incredible combination of demolition, misdirection, and propaganda techniques, perfected over 50 years. Not without mistakes mind you, but as Pilgram’s experiments show, you can coerce almost anyone into silence or consensus if the threat is great enough, and the stakes are high enough, and you have ‘authority’ behind you.
As for Benjamin Fulford, he looks slightly unhinged in the videos, but his body language and eye accessing cues are congruent with *him* believing what he is saying. Which means that either
(a) he is delusional (very common of Westerners who spend a long time in Asia, like many I’ve met)
or
(b) he is telling the truth *as he believes it*
or
(c) he is an extremely accomplished liar, and he is using this platform to sell more books.
It would seem that the consensus here is leaning toward (a), is that correct?
June 15th, 2009 at 8:32 pmI am wondering if Fulford is crazy, why people like Rockefeller and Japanese finance minister appear along side him?
Also I read some of his 2002 articles in Ford Mag. He had correctly predicted demise of GM.
June 21st, 2009 at 9:59 amPerhaps it is his claim that there is an army of ninja assassins awaiting to be unleashed to kill all current leaders and appoint Fulford the new Minister of Finance in Japan?
June 21st, 2009 at 1:06 pmAlso, Fulford conducted the interviews in question while he was Asian Bureau Chief for Forbes magazine.
I don’t believe anyone of any weight has sat for an interview with him since he became a “former” employee of Forbes after “quitting in disgust” because they, he claimed, did not like that he was “getting too close to something they didn’t want me to get to and they started stopping stories.”
June 21st, 2009 at 1:17 pmBenjamin may see things from different angles from most people (after all he is a Westerner fluent in Japanese who has spent most of his life in Japan and most of his books are written in Japanese), but he didn’t instigate any unnecessary wars, nor actively support them as the mainstream media has.
Who’s more absurd: 1. the media that supports an unnecessary war that has destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and driven the economy to the ground or 2. someone who says that the wealthiest 1% of the United States and the West, namely corporate interests, has wielded a disproportionate and destructive amount of power over world affairs? Follow the money — where does it lead? Try answering that, then come back here and say Benjamin is crazy. Start with this: Which corporation owns NBC, and has it profited from the war in Iraq? You’ll note that the mainstream media has given scant coverage Sibel Edmonds: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7347 Why is there no mainstream US media coverage of that? Is Benjamin’s assertion that vested interests are suppressing the news and wielding destructive influence on the world environment crazy?
August 19th, 2009 at 11:48 amNo one is saying that Benji is crazy because of his take on world events. They are saying he is crazy because he claims there is a vast army of ninja assassins standing by to wipe out the current leaders of Japan and make him the Finance Minister so he can throw open the coffers of Nippon and create heaven on earth.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:22 pmWhatever Benjamin’s beliefs (can’t say I agree with them, personally, but so what), they’re not more ridiculous or absurd than the lies perpetuated by the mainstream media (mouthpieces for merchants of death), which so many otherwise intelligent people faithfully accept. BTW, Benjamin’s gripes with Forbes were totally justified and verifiable (do you use a PC?). Heaven on Earth — is he a Jehovah’s Witness, lol?(Who’s calling him “Benji”?)
August 21st, 2009 at 5:33 amI just checked a number of mainstream media sources and could find nothing even remotely resembling Fulford’s claims that there is a vast army of ninja assassins standing by to wipe out the current leaders of Japan and make him the Finance Minister so he can throw open the coffers of Nippon and create heaven on earth.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 amWho’s calling him “Benji”?
Ummmm…. Me.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 amI see. I was wondering if any people who personally know him call him that? Do you personally know him? You’re fixating on a one-liner representation of what you believe (or claim to believe) Benjamin’s beliefs to be.
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 amI THINK THAT HE IS JUST SMARTER THAN ALL OF YOU CLOSED MINDED PEOPLE, LOOK AT HIS TRACK RECORD, IF HE WAS MENTALLY ILL WOULD HE BE FAMOUS AND A JOURNALIST FOR FORBES I DONT THINK SO. ALSO I ADMIRE HIM FOR SPEAKING OUT ON THINGS THAT NOT MANY CAN OR FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT, HE MAY BE A LITTLE FRUITY, BUT I WOULDNT DOUBT HIM.
September 12th, 2009 at 4:13 am1. There have been many crazy people who became famous.
2. There are many crazy journalists. I happen to know some.
3. Perhaps his track record might be improved if one of his predictions would come true.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:15 pmBenjamin has been a rabble rouser and muckraker as far back as I remember. He thrives on shocking people. Is he smart? Yes (in all likelihood, much smarter than the people attacking him here). If you believe in IQ tests (I don’t), genius level. He once defeated the Ottawa chess champion in a game of chess. He’s mastered the Japanese language, both written and conversational, and has published books in Japanese. Creative. Absolutely, as his output would demonstrate. Crazy? With any intellectually *honest* evaluation, I’d have to so no.
November 1st, 2009 at 9:45 amSo you think the claim that there is an army of ninja assassins standing by to wipe out the leadership of Japan and appoint Benjie Finance Minister so he can save the world is a sane one?
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:17 pmA few notes back, Adam Fulford asked, “Do you use a PC?”
Well, it just so happens that I do. Look what it turned up:
**************
Mr. Fulford, an established connoisseur of disseminating libel, was recently ordered to pay Stephen L. Herman – Voice of America’s South Asia bureau chief – damages after he admitted to willfully publishing false claims about Herman; the purported civil libel action, in Japanese, is attributed to the jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court, and can be viewed online. Beginning on page 25 of the aforementioned document, a passage in English reads as follows:
Over the past few hours and days, Fulford has willfully propagated a hodgepodge of truly viscous lies about Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in addition to other members of the British Royal Family. In the past 24 hours, he has published ridiculously bizarre claims, such as:
* Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama is her “slave” – meaning that he is functionally operating under the control of the British Monarchy.
* Her Majesty “has offered to turn over Japanese sovereignty to the Chinese by 2011.”
* “Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, was also Adolph Hitler’s half-brother (not father as initially reported) according to Emily Elizabeth Catherine Josephine Mary Windsor-Cragg, [illegitimate] daughter of Edward VIII Duke of Windsor.”
* James Hewitt – who himself previously denied these allegations – is Prince Harry’s father. Hewitt has been quoted by the BBC as saying, “I can absolutely assure you that I am not.”
Intending to cause undue – and demonically sadistic distress – to Britain’s Head of State, Fulford has also recently published far worse claims, including that Queen Elizabeth II “made a secret pact with Hitler and the Nazis” and that she was “also in on the 911 attacks.” These unbelievable claims are, at the very least, preposterous, as Her Majesty’s own reign did not even begin until 1952 – many years after World War II ended – and furthermore, she would have only been a teenager during the period referenced, which also substantiates that she would have no place in making international political agreements with evil individuals.
Fulford has a directly measured audience of over 100,000 people worldwide every month, and his postings are syndicated on alternative, new age, anti-Christian news websites like Fourwinds10.com, which reaches nearly 130,000 people around the globe each month, and Rumormillnews.com, which reaches at least 85,000 in the US – and an untold number of people worldwide – every month.
The operator of Fourwinds10.com, said to be Patrick H. Bellringer – likely a pen name only – has previously been reported to have made a death threat against Queen Elizabeth II. He also publishes a barrage of rubbish, including anti-Christian nonsense, claiming that he is in contact with spirits like “Aton” and “Hatonn” that know the real story behind our existence.
Over at Rumormillnews.com, site publisher Rayelan Allen has allowed “News Agents” to publish that England is secretly controlling US Social Security funds, and Allen has even written a book about Diana, Princess of Wales, in which she states the deceased princess was murdered for the purposes of creating a new world religion. She also claims to be affiliated with the Knights Templar – among countless other assertions.

November 5th, 2009 at 10:58 amDo you write about the media blackout of Sibel Edmonds? How about the corporate media’s propagation of lies that contributed to the slaughter of Iraqi civilians? How about how the mainstream media aided and abetted electronic rigging of US election? The harm caused by the corporate media’s spread of war-profiteering propaganda is infinitely worse than the small rabble-rousing waves made by Benjamin’s penmanship.
I personally don’t give a hoot about the ugly inbred Royal Family, but for the record, Prince Dianna had sexual relations with James Hewitt and I believe Harry is his biological son. The resemblance is obvious (Has Harry taken any genetic tests to establish otherwise?):
November 6th, 2009 at 9:40 am* James Hewitt – who himself previously denied these allegations – is Prince Harry’s father. Hewitt has been quoted by the BBC as saying, “I can absolutely assure you that I am not.”
I thought we were talking about Benjamin Fulford and his sanity or lack thereof…
November 6th, 2009 at 7:48 pmBy the way, if all you claim is true about Princess Diana, James Hewitt, and Prince Harry, it renders your point about the Royal Family being inbred kind of moot, doesn’t it?
November 6th, 2009 at 7:51 pmI was talking about Benjamin. Nothing he writes or says is any more absurd than the lies disseminated by the corporate war-profiteering media. OK, I admit I’m not fixated on Benjamin Fulford. I just happen to know him better than you (since he’s my brother).

I don’t know for sure, but I’d wager that a quick look at Hewitt’s family tree would expose lots of common ancestry, the British elite being the incestuous pool that it is.
November 7th, 2009 at 8:24 amAdam, I’m sure you’re trying to do the right thing by defending your brother, but you’d do far better to get him some help. Even if he was right in 90% of what he claims, that remaining 10% is more than sufficiently bizarre to show any reasonable person that your brother has problems. For his own sake, you and your family need to intervene.
November 7th, 2009 at 5:38 pmLOL. The word for an, er, idiosyncratic person who makes money (and isn’t blatantly self-destructive) is “eccentric.” If such a person were poor, than they might be vulnerable to the judgments and definitions of others (which isn’t Benjamin’s case).
November 8th, 2009 at 3:32 amIf there is one thing true about the Internet, it is that anyone can get on it and claim anything about anything.
If you are Benjamin Fulford’s brother, Adam, let’s just hope that Benji’s problem is not genetic.
November 8th, 2009 at 10:09 amSure, anyone can claim anything. Believe and “hope” what you like, I really don’t care. Everything in our existence entails biology and physics, and our genetic heritage is part of that. Benjamin has really gotten your knickers in a twist, hasn’t he, lol.
November 8th, 2009 at 4:01 pmNo, he hasn’t. We talk about him here in the same vein as the guy who would burn his feces in the garden or the women who would scream out her window to irritate her neighbors, the train gropers, the gaijin nutcase who stripped naked and jumped into the Imperial moat, and all the other forms of human flotsam and jetsam that come floating along.
The above videos pretty much speak for themselves. No rumors. No reports about the man’s IQ. No red herrings about what the press does or does not report. Just brother Benji’s own words for everyone to hear and draw their own conclusions.
P.S. If you meant to sound intelligent with that “everything in our existence entails biology and physics” stuff, you missed the mark pretty wide.
November 8th, 2009 at 9:02 pm“We talk about him” So, now you’re resorting to “we” LOL

I was responding to some sour and mean-spirited drivel emanating from your holier-than-thou mouth. Your the one trying to sound superior, hypocrite.

Again, those aren’t “red herrings” since that is what Benjamin is responding to…in his own way. Yes, your IQ is probably closer to that of a smart chimpanzee than Benjamin’s (if one believes in IQ tests), but that’s not my point. Obviously, lots of people do lend weight to his words.
There are lots of talking heads who one may find objectionable and maybe downright crazy, but who lots of mainstream coverage as they espouse destructive interests (eg in the USA — Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh). There are voices that offer counterbalance such as Benjamin Fulford and Michael Moore (Michael Moore is obviously more well known, lol. Would I know of Benjamin if he wasn’t my brother? Probably not). I sometimes chat with Benjamin in person. I’m quite aware that he has a distinct and kind of funky outlook (different from mine, needless to say).
How much is accurate or not, it is hard to tell, since the news media so rigorously and relentlessly disseminates a blanket of lies and propaganda to generate profits for vested interests. If it inspires people to dig beneath the surface to see what is true and what isn’t, then it does some good.
The moral of the story? Don’t trust the news media. It isn’t necessarily to trust Benjamin, either. It is to look for yourself, and not rely on corporate media sources (which I guess Benjamin sees as mouthpieces of the “Illuminati”) to do so.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:53 am“We talk about him” So, now you’re resorting to “we” LOL
Of course, silly, otherwise I’d be talking to myself, get it?
November 10th, 2009 at 8:09 amWell, it is now quite evident that your sole purpose here is to deflect the discussion to the royal family, the media, conspiracies, me, or any topic other than BF’s sanity.
As I said above, the videos are here for all to see.
November 10th, 2009 at 8:12 am–“We talk about him” So, now you’re resorting to “we” LOL

When you say “we” in representing your opinion, you’re deeming to talk on other people’s behalf (which is kind of arrogant) so you can add weight in numbers(suggesting that you alone isn’t enough). Pretty lame strategy.

Hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube! Drama’s a wonderful thing, for sure. Impressive. It really makes no difference to me whether you think Benjamin is crazy or not. On a personal level, this is all very amusing to me. He’s a chess player as I said, both literally and symbolically, and there is a strategy to what he does, even if it is not obvious to his opponents. I don’t represent Benjamin and can’t say with certainty what his intentions are (he’s left-handed, what can I say), and can’t say I ever knew for sure. If you have a problem with him, why don’t you emerge from your pseudonym, stop being an anonymous coward, and give him a call? Challenge him to a public debate. You can try to put him in his place, and attempt to expose him as nuts or whatever you think he is. Make some waves, sell some tickets, make some money.
November 10th, 2009 at 9:45 amBobby Fisher was a chess player, too.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:18 amDidn’t make him any less of a loonytoom (I’m just saying).
LOL, true… But, if we are going to assess who’s deranged, let’s try Sigmund Freud’s criteria which basically was that a person is crazy if they cannot love others or work. Benjamin’s doing all right by that criteria (he has a harem and I gather he loves all of them very much, though he may need aphrodisiacs from time to time). He’s also making money in his miscellaneous enterprises, so he really is not vulnerable to other people’s assessments, much as he may annoy and outrage them by not playing according their rules or perceptions of reality.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:58 amI see. It’s the Goofy Gambit.
He’s not crazy. He just acts crazy so everyone thinks he’s crazy.
