THE billionaire owner of the Gold Coast’s Sheraton Mirage Resort is being investigated by Indian authorities as part of a probe into a massive alleged land scam. 

Punjabi tycoon Nirmal Singh Bhangoo has become a big player in Queensland property development through joint ventures between his Pearls Australasia subsidiary and David Devine’s Metro group to build hundreds of new apartments in Brisbane’s inner city over the past few years.

But the 60-year-old has been named as a suspect by the New Delhi-based Central Bureau of Investigation as it continues to gather evidence on an alleged Ponzi-style scheme.

Authorities say 900,000 “gullible investors’’ were conned ‘’through a collective investment scheme under the garb of sale and development of agricultural land’’.

A CBI spokeswoman told The Sunday Mail that about $8 billion was involved.

Anti-corruption officers in five cities have seized “incriminating’’ documents in raids on directors’ homes and offices linked to two companies in Mr Bhangoo’s Pearls Group business empire. It includes a land bank of 1.5 million acres, real estate and interests in everything from hotels, hospitals and education to a television company. He holds the exclusive rights to VB and Wolf Blass in India.

Authorities allege that after one company was ordered by the High Court to wind up the scheme and refund investors, a second operation was launched to collect funds from new investors to pay the first group.

The CBI said no arrests or charges had been made. Australian authorities had “not yet’’ been asked to become involved.

The former dairy farmer made a dramatic entry into the Australian property market in 2009, when Pearls Australasia paid $62 million cash for the luxurious Sheraton Mirage Resort and Spa – built by notorious fugitive Christopher Skase – and spent another $20 million on renovations. Australian cricketer Brett Lee was appointed as the company’s international ambassador.

Pearls Australasia was formed after an Australian Government trade mission to India introduced Mr Bhangoo’s company to Gold Coast-based developers Peter Madrers and Paul Brinsmead, whose previous business Resort Corp collapsed in 2009.

In a statement yesterday, Pearls Australasia said that Pearls Infrastructure Projects Limited was a passive investor in the local company and was not one of the entities being investigated in India.

Pearls Australia has partnered with David Devine’s Metro Property on $300 million-plus of apartment projects in Bowen Hills and Fortitude Valley. A Metro spokeswomen yesterday said: “We are aware of the allegations against Pearls in India but are confident there will be no impact on our business.”

One of many corrupt businessmen from overseas raping the Australian nation.

Lets see how many corrupt persons he can and will bribe along the way to escape 'justice'.

Australia is in the forefront of corporate fraud, which literally goes unpunished, provided one is part of the supported few of the 'brotherhood'.

Mr. Sino, CVAC, King of Kings, Kingdom of God Sky Earth

The internet blogosphere has been a blaze with words like; hope, humanity, prosperity, freedom, and so many other catch phrases that work on the emotional side of the 'vulnerable' with reference to a single person that apparently holds the key to free humanity from the clutches of governments and the financial world leaders.

The person in the middle is apparently a "Mr. Sino" (illustrated above) or if you want the long version; "MR.A1.Sino.AS.S“2” .IR.Soegihartonotonegoro" who allegedly set up a trust called SWISSINDO(?) which holds the 'true' value of each being in monetary terms which is supposed to be given to every recipient who 'voluntarily' joins the CVAC (Creation Value Asset Center).

Corpau does not devote resources to internet scams as there is a wide variety of resources that deal with this topic, and provide far more comprehensive analysis and reports than can be done in one single post or article.

Mr. Sino is a self styled King of Kings, with absolutely NO ties to any legitimate Royalty of Indonesia, but rather is a centre of a very elaborate hoax preying on the vulnerability of the 'do gooders'.

One of the claims is that 'he' is a holder of approx 75 trillion kilograms of gold that is scattered all over the Indonesian archipelago.

Apparently he is tied in with the U.N. (United Nations) where a document purporting to hold the riches is attached below.

The document above literally has no meaning to it but rather 'gibberish', and is literally not worth the paper nor coloured ink used to print on it.

From Australia a few genuine, hard working, honest, and very articulate people have been conned into traveling to Indonesia from their own private funds, to a dead end destination that is full of empty promises.

Apple moves $9 billion profit from Australia to Irish tax havens according to reports

Apple has reportedly shifted billions in untaxed profits from Australia to Ireland. Source: Supplied

US technology giant Apple has moved almost $9 billion in untaxed profits to from its Australian operations to an Irish tax haven in the past 10 years, media reports say. 

Fairfax Media claims to have obtained a decade's worth of financial accounts for Apple Sales International, the Irish company at the centre of Apple's international tax arrangements.

The accounts reveal the mark-up Apple charges for intellectual property on its global products, The Australian Financial Review reports.

Last year, Apple reported pre-tax earnings in Australia of only $88.5 million after sending an estimated $2 billion from its Australian sales to Ireland via Singapore, where Apple negotiated a secret tax deal in 2009, it said.

Senator Xenophon said if reports are true, Apple is rotten to the core. Source: AFP

 

Apple Sales International has reported more than $US100 billion ($112 billion) of profits in the last five years, but its accounts indicate it's paid less than 50 cents in tax on every $1000 of income, the AFR said.

The report comes after last month's Group of 20 finance ministers meeting decided that by November the world's top economies would start to deliver effective and practical measures to counter tax avoidance.

G20 members expect to start automatically exchanging information on tax matters from 2015.

Independent senator Nick Xenophon said the report showed Apple was “rotten” and the government must act.

“When it comes to paying tax, it seems that this apple is rotten to the core,” Senator Xenophon told reporters in Canberra on Thursday.

“This, if true, is a scandal.” Apple is being contacted for comment.

Governments allow companies to carry out 'fraud' without any legal repercussion whatsoever.

Another action that tells the masses corporate fraud is rife with the full support of the 'authorities'.

An action that if it were implemented by the general populous would result in criminal charges.

Queensland Government to axe 8c-per-kWh solar feed-in tariff to cut electricity costs

The Path to Prosperity panel looks at the great potential for solar and wind power, and analyses community fears about wind in particular.

THOUSANDS of southeast Queensland solar households will lose their guaranteed 8c feed-in tariff and will have to negotiate directly with retailers over a price for the energy they produce. 

Energy Minister Mark McArdle will today unveil a significant overhaul of feed-in tariffs, saving other energy users millions of dollars on power bills. 

Opinion: Burning issue of inequity
Queensland households’ solar bill shock
 
Mr McArdle said removing the cost of purchasing the high-priced energy produced by these solar households would put downward pressure on all electricity bills.

Solar advocates have today slammed the decision to scrap the 8c feed-in tariff.

Lindsay Soutar, the national director of Solar Citizens, said it would be difficult for households with solar to negotiate fair deals with retailers.

“There are 40,000 homes that are about to lose the already too small financial return they receive from providing clean energy back into the grid,” she said

“And there are thousands of families in Queensland who want to make the move to solar who will now be forced to negotiate directly with retailers for any sort of financial return.

“This is incredibly unfair. It is obvious that it will be difficult for individual households to get a good deal from their power company.

The state government has been accused of ignoring warnings about the legal risks associated with cutting the solar power scheme.

“They simply don’t have the negotiating power. When retailers set the rules, solar owners lose.”

The 284,090 households that receive the 44c tariff will not be affected, with the State Government keeping its commitment to continue paying the more generous amount to those who adopted solar before the scheme was closed.


The move will switch the responsibility for paying for rooftop solar power from government-owned distributors to retailers. 

It will affect almost 40,000 households throughout southeast Queensland that currently receive 8c per kilowatt hour for the energy produced by their rooftop solar panels.

Mr McArdle last night told The Courier-Mail that the 8c tariff would have added an extra $110 million to all power bills over six years, had it continued.

Households our fourth biggest power generator
How much you’re subsidising your solar neighbour
 
Retailers currently get this power for free from distributors and pay solar customers up to 10c per kilowatt hour extra for their power — meaning some customers get up to 18c.

“At the moment what happens is that … the feed-in tariff that is paid under the 8c is recovered by the networks and then passed through to Queenslanders in their power bills,” Mr McArdle said.

“Placing it on to the retailers will mean there is no pass-through back to consumers who are not using solar.”
From July 1, solar households in the Energex distribution network will not get a regulated rate for their energy and must negotiate with retailers. A new regulated rate will be set for the 10,000 solar households on the 8c feed-in tariff in the Ergon Energy area, where there is currently no competition.

Mr McArdle said removing the 8c feed-in tariff in the southeast would foster competition ahead of the removal of regulated prices in July 2015.

“I don’t think (retailers) will abandon solar customers, because paying the feed-in tariff is part of their market strategy to attract customers to their contracts,” he said.

“Customers can then start to play retailers off against each other to get a better deal, and we may well find that the feed-in tariff increases with competition.’’

Another contract / agreement scrapped by the corporation commonly referred to as the Queensland 'government'.

Supreme Court to determine whether states can execute ‘mentally retarded’ prisoners

The US Supreme Court has indicated that it will consider requiring state authorities to assess more than just a death row convict’s intelligence score when evaluating whether an inmate is eligible to be executed.

Judges heard arguments on Monday about how law enforcement officials in Florida and a number of other states allow a person to be executed if their IQ is barely higher than 70, the traditional barrier that separates the general population and those with cognitive disability. Twelve years ago, the Supreme Court prohibited the execution of the mentally disabled, yet the justices at that time left it up to individual states to determine how they define “mentally retarded.”

Lawyers for Freddie Hall argued that their client should not be executed in Florida because he has spent his life struggling with a mental disability. The attorneys say that lower courts have sided with Hall but top authorities refuse to stop his execution. Hall has spent nearly four decades on death row after he killed a pregnant 21-year-old woman in 1978.

Under Florida law, an inmate with an IQ higher than 71 is not mentally retarded and can be put to death. However, five court justices argued that the rule does not account for the IQ test’s margin of error, which can hypothetically skew a test result enough to send someone who may not be eligible into the death chamber.

“Your rule prevents us from getting a better understanding of whether the IQ score is accurate or not,” Justice Anthony Kennedy told Florida Solicitor General Allen Winsor, who argued that there is no need to loosen the parameters around a score of 70.

Winsor advised the court not to diverge from the existing rule because state law has determined “they are not mentally retarded if they don’t have an IQ score of 70 or below.” He added that if the 70 point cutoff is forsaken, twice the number of inmates on death row could claim they are disabled.

“But some of them may actually be mentally retarded,” replied Justice Elena Kagan, as quoted by the Associated Press.

Freddie Hall has consistently scored above 70 on his IQ tests but his representation says there is sufficient proof that the inmate is in fact disabled. One judge who previously ruled on the case wrote that Hall “had been mentally retarded his entire life,” with multiple psychiatrists and other professionals agreeing. School records dating from the 1950s also make it clear that Hall’s teachers considered him to be “mentally retarded,” the accepted term for a mental disability at the time.

“The predictable consequence of Florida’s rule is that persons with mental retardation will be executed,” Eric Pinkard, one of Hall’s lawyers from Florida’s Capital Collateral Regional Counsel, wrote in a brief to the justices. “Without this Court’s intervention that will happen here…The evidence is overwhelming that Freddie Lee Hall has mental retardation.”

Hall was convicted of kidnapping and murdering a young woman as she left a Florida grocery store in 1978. He was also convicted of killing a sheriff’s deputy. While Hall’s guilt is not for the court to determine, Justice Antonin Scalia wondered if the sheer brutality of Hall’s crimes is evidence of ample cognitive function.
“Could the state show that in refutation of his retardation evidence?” Scalia said, adding that Hall had not complained of any metal disability during his first decade in prison.

Some observers expect that Scalia will be the decisive vote on the matter. The conservative judge also seemed to doubt the assertions of medical professionals, the American Psychiatric Association in particular.
“They change their mind, counsel,” he said. “This APA is the same organization that once said that homosexuality was a mental disability and now says it’s perfectly normal.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor admitted a “line has to be drawn somewhere,” with psychiatrists suggesting that a 76-score is high enough to be accurate while remaining clear of the inherent margin of error. Mississippi and Oklahoma already adhere to that standard, whereas Texas – the state which executes the most inmates – does not follow a strict IQ guideline.

In 2012, Texas authorities executed Marvin Wilson, a 54-year-old convicted of murder, despite a 2004 psychological exam on which he scored a 61. The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from Wilson’s attorneys, paving the way for his execution.

A decision in Hall v. Florida is expected to come no later than June.

According to a study, around 70% of Americans don't know the Sun is a star. Americans don't lead the world in anything, especially not in science, math or the like, except the highest number of incarcerated people per capita. If the "leaders of the free world" can't teach the next generation basic science, they'll have to execute the naughty ones if they get into trouble.

Let the axe fall! At least ninety-percent of the U.S. Congress is guilty of treason, a punishment of execution should be their just reward. UNFORTUNATELY, of those congressional criminals, all of them are mentally retarded - a blow to American justice for sure.

Sheriff's Office Exposed Part 1

In Australia, the sheriff plays a major part in debt collection for various so called 'government' bodies, many of which function illegitimately / unlawfully, with real consequences of people being incarcerated for significant periods of time for the victimless crimes they allegedly committed.

The Victorian Department of Justice

http://www.vic.gov.au/law-justice/courts-tribunals/sheriffs-office-fines.html

claims on its home page that:

"Sheriff's officers take action against people who do not comply with their debt-related court orders."

What the general populous does not know:

• The letter that accompanies the sheriff is made out to your ESTATE NAME e.g. JOHN CITIZEN (Capitalised) and not YOU as a person* John Citizen. 

•  YOU are the ADMINISTRATOR of your ESTATE NAME.

The following brochure (from the Department of Justice) is not entirely 'correct' as it entices you to do 'business' with the 'sheriff' and NOT what you can actually do, what your true rights are or even the questions you should ask the sheriff before proceeding.


 Front page of brochure:

 Back page of brochure:

Corpau is in possession of information just recently obtained in relation to the Sheriff's Office exposing the corrupt dealing of the office, which is well known internally within the business.

The Sheriff's Office of Victoria has the ABN of 32 790 228 959





 *Person - Black's Law Dictionary 6th Edition, pg. 791, defines 'person' as follows:

"In general usage, a human being (i.e. natural person), though by statute term may include labor organizations, partnerships, associations, corporations, legal representatives, trustees, trustees in bankruptcy, or receivers."
 

Sir Harry Gibbs Chief Justice of the High Court Australia comments on the Constitution

The following document is from the Chief Justice of the High Court Australia written to a Mr. John Wilson commenting on the Constitution.



Sir Harry Talbot Gibbs, GCMG, AC, KBE, QC (17 February 1917 - 25 June 2005) was Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia from 1981 to 1987 after serving as a member of the High Court between 1970 and 1981.

He was known as one of Australia's leading federalist judges although he presided over the High Court when decisions such as Koowarta v Bjelke-Petersen in 1982 and Commonwealth v Tasmania expanded the powers of the Commonwealth at the expense of the states.

Gibbs dissented from the majority verdict in both cases.

Your birth certificate was made into a bond, its worth billions!

The United States' version:

Your Birth Certificate Was Made Into a Bond...it's Worth Billions!
August 2, 2013

Original post here.

Who knew, it says "American Bank Note Company" right there on our birth certificates!? I'm connecting so many dots today I think my head might start spinning around and puking green vomit, like the little girl in the Exorcist. Ok I'm sorry, that's gross. But that's how disturbing this stuff is. This type of awareness should not leave the reader feeling powerless, but em-powered. The reason this has gone on for so long is a direct result of our collective ignorance. I realize this stuff is not easy to believe and even harder to understand, especially to the newly awakened, and even more so to the still asleep. This is a quote I forced myself to memorize for this very reason:"A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic." – Dresden James

When the UNITED STATES declared bankruptcy, pledged all Americans as collateral against the national debt, and confiscated all gold, eliminating the means by which you could pay, it also assumed legal responsibility for providing a new way for you to pay, and it did that by providing what is known as the Exemption, an exemption from having to pay for anything. In practical terms, though, this meant giving each American something to pay with, and that \"something\" is your credit.

Your value to society was then and still is calculated using actuarial tables and at birth, bonds equal to this \"average value\" are created. I understand that this is currently between one and two million dollars. These bonds are collateralized by your birth certificate which becomes a negotiable instrument. The bonds are hypothecated, traded until their value is unlimited for all intents and purposes, and all that credit created is technically and rightfully yours. In point of fact, you should be able to go into any store in America and buy anything and everything in sight, telling the clerk to charge it to your Exemption account, which is identified by a nine-digit number that you will recognize as your Social Security number without the dashes. It is your EIN, which stands for Exemption Identification Number.

Is it starting to make sense now? Why it's not too far fetched to imagine the day when you will be able to walk confidently into your bank to legally, lawfully and ethically deposit some of YOUR value into your account? Why should we not be able to cash out a few billion dollars that we have created, backed by our labour, only to be stolen from us by the very people who claim to represent OUR collective best interests? The whole concept of "energy harvesting" is starting to make a whole lot more sense now, isn't it? 

More about the Strawman in this article: 

http://briankellysblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-story-of-your-enslavement-meet-your.html

"The birth certificate created a FICTION (the name of the baby in upper case letters). The state/ province sells the birth certificate to the Commerce Department of the corporations of USA, which in turn places a bond on the birth certificate thereby making it a negotiable instrument, and placing the fiction, called a STRAWMAN, into the warehouse of the corporations of USA. Representation for the created fiction was given to the BAR (British Accredited Registry/Regency), owned and operated by the Crown, for the purpose of contracting the fiction (which most of us think is ourselves) into a third party action. Do not underestimate the power behind this trick. It is to con us into contracting with the feds so that they can ‘legally’ confiscate our property. All these contracts have only our signatures on them because corporate fictions cannot contract (only natural beings have the right to contract – and the right not to contract). Because there is no full disclosure – we are never told that we have just signed away what we believe to be our property – these contracts are fraudulent, and hence, we are still the lawful owner and the profit earned by the feds from selling securities (our property) belongs to us and must go into a fund for our benefit, otherwise it would be fraud. Not wanting to be charged with fraud, the feds had to create a remedy for us ... and hope we wouldn’t discover it."

For even a deeper understand of the Birth Certificate (registration) process click here. 

"The best example of the effects of registration is the birth certificate. A bankrupt entity – city, state/ province, country – cannot operate in commerce. So how do they manage? Since USA has been bankrupt for decades, having no substance such as gold and silver to back it, the only asset it has are men and women and our labour. We are the collateral for the interest on the loan of the World Bank. Each of us is registered, via the application for a birth certificate. The Treasury issues a bond on the birth certificate and the bond is sold at a securities exchange and bought by the Federal Reserve Bank which then uses it as collateral to issue bank notes. The bond is held in trust for the Feds at the Depository Trust Corporation. We are the surety on said bonds. Our labour/energy is then payable at some future date. Hence we become the ‘transmitting utility’ for the transmission of energy. The United States Government, in order to provide necessary goods and services, created a commercial bond (promissory note), by pledging the property, labour, life and body of its citizens, as payment for the debt (bankruptcy). This commercial bond made chattel (property) out of us all. We became nothing more than ‘human resources’ and collateral for the debt. This was without our knowledge and/or our consent, via the filing (registration) of our birth certificates. When mums apply for a birth certificate, the application is registered. The legal title of her baby is then transferred from mum to the State. Mum is left with equitable title of her baby whom she can use for a fee – a ‘use tax’ – and since the property does not belong to her, she has to treat it in the manner which the owner wants."

UPDATE AUG 3 5:22 pacific. New info to add:

The Certificate Of Registration of Live Birth is By Banking Definition Termed “A Certificated Security” The application they made was known as “an application for a live birth certificate” and what issued from this application was known as a “birth certificate.”

…the ‘company’, the “United States” kept the original application and gave your parents a copy of a birth certificate.

There is no real gain, therefore no income, therefore no income tax.

This created what is known as a “foreign situs trust account”.

Also when we filled out the Form SS-5 we ‘allowed’ the ‘company’ access to our account, our check book as it were, the pre-paid account that was set-up when our birth certificate issued. We gave them permission as signers to write checks on our account, and they do all the time. Keep in mind, this is the same account the bankers fractionalized and created huge, almost unlimited sums of “money”, and we became ‘co-business partners’, with the ‘company’. They are able to access and use our pre-paid account, for whatever they deem necessary.

…the ‘company’ then took the application and pledged your future labor as a guarantee for payment to the bankers, also known as the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The bankers gave the company a credit for your application against the amount that the company owed the bankers, which at the time of your birth, was worth close to 1 million dollars. This transaction is what is referred to as a “money of account” transaction, as no real money changed hands. It was simply an accounting entry against the debt owed to the bankers, by the company. 

Deception?

The bankers then took the [your] application, and used fractional banking lending. It is the birth certificate that is proof that an application was submitted. It is the application that is the real negotiable instrument and the birth certificate proves there is a negotiable instrument being used in commerce -- to borrow money.

HUH? What is that you say?

#8230; fractional banking If a [your] birth certificate is worth, say, 1 million, the bank can loan that same 1 million out as many as 9 times, thus making the [your] birth certificate worth 9 million; and it keeps going, going and going.

Crimes Act 1914 - The original document

Most Australians should be aware that trespassing is against the law.

Trespassing against:

• a person

• to goods

• to land

is illegal.

The general populous is reminded of this fact on [government] properties as shown in illustration below:

On the proviso that the Crimes Act is factually valid, the trespassing law also applies to sheriffs (bailiffs), police (except under certain circumstances), and other 'persons'.

The following document is the original Crimes Act of 1914.


It is under this Act that one is punished.
