'''Cathedral |
'''Cathedral''' also known as Cathedral Investment Bank, is an [[Investment Banking]] and financial services group that provides services to a number of clients mostly associated with the [[Catholic Church]] and other religious entities. The groups consists of a number of different corporations registered in several [[offshore banking]] [[jurisdictions]]. |
||
The group provides little public information about itself or its subsidiaries. A number of claims have been made about the organisation due to its secretive nature and it has been linked historically with [[christian finance]] and the [[Knights Templar]]{{citation needed|date=May 2014}}. In recent years it has been the subject of a [[conspiracy theory]] related to [[market manipulation]]. |

Cathedral Group is very old financial institution that has been delivering financial services since the beginning of the 20th century. Since its beginning, the group has been focused on management of family offices and related products including investment banking services for bigger projects within the western European region (now the Eurozone).

Due to a series of different applications for registration under different corporate figures and names in different places, it started operations privately as a financial institution in four international jurisdictions. |

According to declarations of Charles J. Mack ex financial services director at the [[European Central Bank]] “ the high confidentiality of Cathedral will put [[Switzerland]] in a ridiculous position”.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} |
|||
Cathedral Investment Bank is one of the Largest Offshore Financial Institutions worldwide. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
=== Secular Relevance === |
|||
The official creation of The Cathedral Investment Bank, is for most of the “[[fringe theory]]” followers |
|||
of outmost historical importance. Because this event represents the culmination (and confirmation) of the primary elemental manuscript of the capitalistic conspiracy theory in which the upper part of the capitalist pyramid reclaims control of the socialist system delivering a cycle to the opening of the new world order ([[Novus Ordo Seclorum]]) in a financial unregulated form "laissez faire, laissez passer".<ref>Fringe Theory Book - Badass Chicks by Angela Robinson</ref> |
|||
=== Secular History === |
|||
Since its early days (before it became a formal Bank) several accusations had been made <ref>The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry,'' Random House, Inc''</ref> that the Cathedral Group pertained to a highly secret society which had in itself some of the most relevant wealthy individuals worldwide, no information had been confirmed up to that time. |
|||
On January 1999, Rick Dougan formerly ex Private Banking Executive Officer, accused publicly after being fired, that an ancient templar organization ran the bank, “they have full control of all bank assets, and they are using the bank as a primary [[paymaster]] to make specific payments to governments under the templar organization control”.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} |
|||
During several subsequent public appearances, he accused the board members to be colluded with several major [[central banks]] in an “elaborated financial structure, which allowed them to control the speculative market by using valuation loopholes.” He stated that the bank structure made it possible to control valuation of several [[Futures contract|futures]] and [[Derivative (finance)|derivatives]] instruments for their own benefit. |
|||
These accusations were not taken seriously at the beginning by Cathedral Bank and the long list of central banks supposedly involved. But five days after the claims, Cathedral Investment Bank released a press statement stating that the institution did not have any current relationship with templars of any kind and that Rick Dougan “had been fired because he opposed a risk to the safety of the financial institution”.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} |
|||
Hours after the press release, Rick confirmed to the media{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} that he was referring to the Secular Group called (Tempero Argentum Imperium) or T.A.I. the primary capitalist group who in his words “controlled the key elements of capitalism worldwide” he stated that this organization had direct control from several financial institution including [[HSBC]], [[JP Morgan]], [[Deutsche Bank]], [[National Bank of New Zealand]], [[UBS]] and Cathedral Bank {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}}. |
|||
== Coincidence with Secular Theory == |
|||
{{unreferenced section|date=December 2013}} |
|||
Much of the controversy about the institution is due its high secrecy and because of the declarations of Rick Dougan that followed after his resignation. |
|||
The several coincidences are for many of the conspiracy theory followers, confirmation that Cathedral is indeed being managed by the ''Tempero Argentum Imperio'' also known as "Argentarios". |
|||
It has been claimed that the bank has the following rules; |
|||
* The bank does not accept customers who are engaged in diverse religions which “violate the terms and conditions of the bank” {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
* The bank will not accept charity organizations as customers (this clearly relates to the TAI Capitalistic guidelines which avoids helping the poor or needed because by doing so they deteriorate capitalism in its essence, everyone has to work for a living) {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
* The bank will not allow any information disclosure (all information, even the members of the board are completely confidential) {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
* The bank has a pyramid in its logo, representing the Novos Ordo Seclorum (the new world order) {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
* The two parallel lines enclosing the Name represents the control over matter by material means as in freemasonry {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
* Employees are selected only from a centralized office Abroad {{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} |
|||
Cathedral Remains to be very hermetic on all types of information, the primary concern, is that most of the mayor local banks worldwide, use Cathedral to manage offshore assets as it is the only offshore financial institution that delivers services to inshore banks. |

Cathedral Investment Bank is an offshore financial provider that is relatively isolated from the international regulatory system due to the way its registered, and because of the different jurisdictions in which it operates. Cathedral Investment Bank has perhaps the most flexible position in the international banking market. |
|||
The group has physical presence in 7 different countries, and delivers services to more than 10,000 customers in 35 countries worldwide. The countries where it is registered are all highly confidential offshore jurisdictions with very low tax requirements. This allows them to offer to the public a broad range of financial services safely and confidentially. |
