The Rise of Mark Carney

As Mark Carney is installed into office, Johnny Vedmore explores his training at Harvard & Oxford, his secretive work on the collapse of the Russian economy, and his father’s relationship to the Canadian Catholic abuse scandal.

Mark Carney is being installed as the Prime Minister of Canada with a whimper. Like many of the Establishment’s pre-ordained “Top Men”, Carney’s rise has been systematic and expected. Whether it’s his appointment to Bilderberg, his World Economic Forum collaborations with the Pope, or his positions as the head of the Bank of Canada and then the Bank of England, Carney’s influence and access made his eventual installation as Prime Minister of Canada expected by most commentators.

However, while investigating the new Canadian Prime Minister, I discovered some interesting information which hasn’t been fully explored. Some of this information is disturbing and involves the systematic cover-up of the sexual abuse, torture and murder of First Nation children at Canadian Catholic schools. We will also explore some of the lesser-known work of Mark Carney, including his time at Goldman Sachs which preceded the collapse of the Russian economy in 1998 and how, while attending Harvard University, Carney was influenced by John Kenneth Galbraith, who had previously the mentor to Klaus Schwab, JFK, Gloria Steinem and Pierre Trudeau.

By the end of this article, you’ll know a lot more about the rise of Mark Carney than you’ll learn anywhere else, as we delve deep into the hidden history of Canada’s Prime Minister.

A History of Catholic Abuse

Mark Carney was born on 16 March 1965 to Verlie Margaret Carney (née Kemper) and her husband Robert J Carney. Verlie had studied music during her schooling, passing her Grade II elementary exams in July 1944 and later winning the under-18 pianoforte competition in 1950’s B.C. Musical Festival. By 1950, Verlie gained her Grade 11 scholarship from Little Flowers Academy in Vancouver, reported in the Vancouver Sun on Friday, 29 September. Verlie Kemper attended the Provincial Normal School to study teaching and, in June 1953, it was reported that Verlie was one of 373 new teachers to graduate.

Verlie had grown up near Britannia Beach and her schoolmates formed the Little Flower Alumnae Association to stay in touch after their education. The Little Flower Alumnae regularly arranged fashion shows and other events that were of interest to the young ladies of the day.

Verlie was extremely popular amongst her close group of friends. She was regularly listed as attending local weddings as a bridesmaid as each of her close friends became wed. In November 1954, Verlie Kemper wore a bright red velveteen gown and carried “tiny white mums” when she acted as a bridesmaid alongside Sheila and Inez Nygaard at the wedding of Beverley Ann MacKay and Robin J Abercrombie.

It wasn’t until 1957 that Verlie Margaret Kemper lost her last name when marrying Robert James Carney during a summer wedding that took place at the Church of St John the Apostle in Vancouver. Robert Carney’s brother, the Rev. J. P. Carney officiated at the ceremony. The Province reported the wedding of Kemper and Carney on 2 July 1957, stating:

“The bride is a graduate of Little Flower Academy and Provincial Normal School. The groom, a recent Arts graduate from the University of B.C., was president of the Newman Club on campus for the year 1956-57.”

By 15 February 1960, Verlie delivered Brenda Margaret Carney at St Vincent’s Hospital, weighing in at only 6lbs 15ozs. Verlie had lost her mother a year before her first child was born and her father died the following year at the age of 83. There was 16-years difference between her mother and father.

In 1963, Verlie’s husband, Robert J. Carney, received the Francis F. Reeves Foundation Graduate Bursary and was listed as located at Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Ed. Foundations. Robert and Verlie were both in education and Robert began working for Catholic schools in Canada. By 1973, he is referred to as Dr. Robert J. Carney and was by this time the former executive director of the Alberta Catholic School Trustees’ Association (ACSTA). In August of that year, Robert Carney resigned from ACSTA having prepared a position paper on the objectives of Catholic schooling before stepping down.

He presented his findings at the association’s annual convention where he stated:

“All schools, separate or public, have come under considerable attack recently. We cannot rely on past practices or philosophies. We must formulate new ones which are defensible in the kind of world we live in today.”

During this presentation, Dr. Carney claimed that the “norms” of the Catholic school were independence, achievement and universalism.

The following year, Robert Carney suggested that every school should have a parental council empowered to review all curricula and staffing matters. From the moment he began working in education in 1959, Dr. Robert Carney was engaged in “some aspect of teaching or educational administration”. He became superintendent of schools in the Northwest Territory between 1967-1971, and had been installed as an associate professor at the University of Alberta where he previously obtained his doctoral degree.

In 1975, Robert Carney was given a new position when he was appointed deputy minister of the newly created Department of Recreation, Parks and Wildlife under the Recreation Minister Al “Boomer” Adair. In January 1976, Dr. Robert J. Carney was announced as the new deputy director for operations of the federal Department of Indian Affairs in the Alberta region, a position that saw him ally with Adair via his work as the Northern Development and Indian and Metis Liaison. On 4 December 1977, Robert Carney Sr. passed away, survived by his three sons, Rev. Joesph P. Carney, Dr. Robert James Carney, and Frederick D. Carney.

By 1980, Robert Carney ran as a political candidate for the Edmonton South electoral district, raising $18,594.75 in election expenses from 63 contributors. Carney’s 1980 jaunt into politics was brief after he placed second in the race and he did not run for elected office again in the future. He was regularly found commentating on Canadian politics and educational affairs during this period, as well as having strong views about nationalising the Canadian energy infrastructure, stating in one article:

“The Journal, along with others, rather than [Pierre] Trudeau and Lalonde, will bear the opprobrium of history for toadying to the major oil companies. Indeed, its editorial efforts would be better spent in researching the Mexican experience, where the interests of its citizens were protected long ago when the multinationals were shown the door. That event, together with a continuing concern for the common weal, has assured supplies of cheap energy to all regions of that fortunate country.”

In the early 80s Robert J. Carney was appointed as a temporary member of the Prairies region National Parole Board on multiple occasions. Carney was well-regarded amongst his peers and was often asked to peer review articles and papers related to schooling.

In 1991, Robert Carney was dealing with historic claims of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. In a piece entitled “Indian Schools” in the Edmonton Journal, Carney writes:

“I told a Journal reporter after the meeting that of the not more than 15 of the 240 persons interviewed who said that they were sexually abused while attending school, about half alleged they were subject to acts of physical violence and physical violation including acts which could be classified as rape. I thought it unnecessary to be more specific, or to explain that the alleged acts ranged from improper touching to illicit sexual intercourse in two instances. Regarding the intercourse reports, two former students interviewed alleged they had been raped, but neither said a priest or religious brother was involved. This is not to minimize the seriousness of any of the allegations of sexual abuse, but rather to point out that the statements in The Journal (July 9, July 10,) that half of those who alleged they were sexually abused said they were raped, are not correct.”

Carney accused The Journal of misrepresenting his findings and exaggerating reports of systematic rape and abuse within the Catholic church, something we now know was rampant. Carney highlighted the positive experiences of people’s experiences while at the Catholic residential schools and hostels while pointing out that “others deplored what they described as the excessive attention given to negative incidents related to these institutions”. Dismissing the official reporting which was focused on the Catholic church’s sexual abuse scandal became central to Robert J. Carney’s life, as well as redefining where the buck stopped within the hierarchy of the Canadian Catholic church.

The articles which Carney had referred to in The Edmonton Journal included a piece published on 10 July 1991 entitled: “Report on residential school abuses won’t hurt church, Bishop says,” which stated:

“Villebrun was a participant in the study being conducted by Robert Carney, a University of Alberta education history professor who will make his final report to the diocese by Christmas. Carney presented his initial findings to the synod earlier this week including recommendations that the church apologize for past wrongdoings and assist in counselling services for anyone who was abused.”

Throughout the 1990s, Robert Carney represented the Catholic church within the press on a number of occasions to address not only scandal but topical and political issues, too.

In 1998, Carney was recruited to review the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, which had been tasked with chronicling “the origins and characteristics of Native residential schools” within Canada and, again, the accusations of sexual abuse within the aboriginal school system raised its ugly head again. Referring to the Aboriginal residential schools of the past, Carney stated:

“The school’s objectives, policies and practices are identified as a systematic strategy of cultural repression which was accompanied by an extraordinary amount of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. This is clearly a slanted account of these institutions, and therefore should be viewed cautiously because, to cite one of its problems, it tells only part of the story.”

Carney wasn’t wrong. However, the systematic abuse of children via state-sponsored institutions deserved the heightened level of attention it was then receiving in the public discourse by this time. Robert Carney constantly tried to play down the rampant abuse claims and concentrate on positive aspects of these corrupt institutions instead, without tackling the issue which had done so much harm to so many. In 2022, Pope Francis referred to the systematic doctrine of colonisation which First Nation people endured and their treatment in Canadian Catholic school's as "genocide".

In 2003 and 2004, he was listed as a member of the President’s Club, a position gained when donating $5,000-$9,999 to the Malaspina University College Foundation. Robert James Carney died in Nanaimo, British Columbia on 9 December 2009.

The Elite Training Mill

Mark Carney was the third born of the four children conceived by Verlie and Robert. When Mark was 4 years old, his father’s work saw the family relocate from Fort Smith in the Northwest Territory. At first, they relocated to Yellowknife and then two years later the family settled in Edmonton Alberta. Carney attending St. Rose Catholic Junior High School and went to high school at St. Francis Xavier. Dr. Robert J. Carney’s interest in academia soon influenced his son’s schooling with Carney later saying:

“My dad was an academic so I had an interest in academia … I was always interested in public policy so somehow or another I figured I would do academics or policy work at some point.”

Carney’s high school assistant principal, Vivian Allen, spoke highly of his potential, saying that he had excellent attendance, came from an outstanding family and carried a respectful attitude. A chemistry teacher at St. Francis Xavier said:

“He’s one of the students I always remembered… He was a brilliant student, absolutely brilliant and motivated student, and a really pleasant personality – just the whole family. They were really nice kids.”

In 1984 Carney was offered a partial scholarship and financial aid to attend Harvard University at a time when Robert Reich, Larry Summers and others were recruiting Harvard’s best and brightest to create the economic policies and paradigms which still have us chained today. He was an extremely genial character to those who knew him and gained people’s trust in a number of ways. Peter Chiarelli, a Canadian ice hockey executive who is currently Vice President of Hockey Operations for the St. Louis Blues, was a room-mate of Carney at Harvard, he stated:

“Carney is Canadian, through and through. He left Wall Street and Bay Street, where he was making oodles of money, because even back in university, he wanted to make his mark in public service.”

Carney was meant to be studying English literature and mathematics at Harvard but it was one of the mentors he shared with Klaus Schwab who changed the direction Carney was heading. John Kenneth Galbraith is one of the most understated influences on modern economic history, especially when it comes to inspiring Globalist aligned young global leaders.

In the article: “Dr. Klaus Schwab; Or How The CFR Taught Me To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb,” I map out the massive influence JK Galbraith had on modern economists. Galbraith, also a Canadian, had studied Nazi Land Policy in Hitlers Germany, was sent by the US after the fall of Germany to interrogate Albert Speer who had been the Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production, he was soon after sent to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to evaluate the effects of the atomic bombs, he had taught JFK and became his ambassador to India, and Galbraith had even been the one to draft LBJ’s speech after Kennedy’s assassination. Galbraith was given as a mentor to a young Klaus Schwab when he finished Kissinger’s International Seminar at Harvard and helped the young Ravenberger set up and launch the precursor to the World Economic Forum.

JK Galbraith has historically inspired potential young global leaders and Mark Carney definitely ticked all of Galbraith’s proverbial boxes. Galbraith had an instant impact on Carney’s direction and soon the young Canadian was majoring in economics, eventually graduating with high honours. Carney scrimped and saved during his Harvard years, even taking a year out in order to work full time so he could build up a tuition fund.

His Harvard education, although partly funded, had proven to be pricier than expected and, before Carney travelled to the UK to earn his Ph.D. in Economics from Oxford University, he first went to work for Goldman Sachs. Between the end of Harvard and 1991, Carney worked his way up the ladder at Goldman Sachs in both London and Tokyo.

Carney’s aforementioned former room-mate at Harvard, Chiarelli also recalls the moment they got to meet Pierre Trudeau at Harvard. Chiarelli also recalled in 2019:

“When I met Mark, I remember saying to my friend, ‘That guy’s going to be the prime minister.’ I bug Mark about it every year. And it may come true because he just cares so genuinely about what he’s doing.”

In 1991, Mark Carney attended Oxford University to obtain his master’s degree in Economics in 1993 and a doctorate in Economics in 1995. In a Globe and Mail article in 2013 entitled: “Mark Carney not only played goal for the Oxford Blues hockey team, he also managed it,” the author Paul Waldie states:

“While others in Britain may fret about appointing a foreigner to such a critical position for the first time in the bank’s 319-year history, those from Oxford who know him best say much of the groundwork was laid there during his student days more than 20 years ago.”

It wasn’t only at Oxford where Mark Carney’s philosophies concerning economic public policy were cemented, it was also the place where he met his future wife, economist Diana Fox Carney. Mark Carney had enrolled in the master’s program in economics at St. Peter’s College and, after finishing in just two years, he transferred to Nuffield College for hi doctorate, which he again finished in only two years. Nuffield College was a school filled with wealthier programs which specialised in social science and it is usually prohibited for students to switch between programs, however, exceptions were made for Mark Carney. It is at Nuffield where Carney studied globalization and wrote his doctoral thesis. In the aforementioned Globe and Mail article economics professor Margaret Meyer is quoted as saying:

“He [Carney] said to me: ‘I’m going to Wall Street for the short term but I’m very determined to enter the policy arena after I’ve gained some experience there.’ He said: ‘I see myself in the medium-term working the policy arena either for a think tank or for an international organization.’”

Carney also focussed on managing the Hockey Team while attending Oxford which is how he met his wife.

The Fix-It Man

Mark Carney had spent his time in between attending Harvard and Oxford working for Goldman Sachs in London and Tokyo. He was eventually welcomed back into their financial fold after he received his doctorate at Nuffield and rose to the post of managing director at Goldman Sachs.

Carney was a keen-eyed financial hawk whose focus was mainly on economies in crisis or emerging debt markets. In post-apartheid South Africa, Carney was involved in the country’s “integration into international bonds”. Many economists don’t believe the South African apartheid regime collapsed because of pressure from anti-racism movements but rather those in charge were unable to provide wealth to their population, something which was readily promised by big banks after the collapse of the apartheid state.

It is also claimed that Carney played a significant role in the Russian financial crisis in 1998. On 17 August 1998, the post-Soviet financial system collapsed. There were runs on the failing banks, the rouble crashed and the market reformers were left humiliated. A collection of Western economic hitmen, hawks and hustlers were brought in to help slow the collapse and placate those who were watching their money disappear.

In the paper entitled “Government of the Shadows: Parapolitics and Criminal Sovereignty”, the authors describe some of the immediate results of the Russian economic collapse, stating:

“Corruption and criminal activities played a major part in creating public debt and diverting funds to speculative overseas financial markets: the Russian Central Bank estimated, for example, that $74 billion was transferred from Russian banks to offshore accounts in 1998, the year of the devaluation. A predatory, kleptocratic and, in the end, mafia-style pattern of abuse created substantial demand for money laundering on international capital markets, including the demand for Russian Treasury bonds and thus was an important factor in the Russian financial crisis of 1998.”

Soon, various Western financial giants and big investors were looking to recoup their vast losses. During Kerim Derhalli’s £10 million law-suit against Lehman Brothers for constructive dismissal, some of the lengths which these major players went to in order to recoup their losses were exposed. In a Guardian article entitled: “Russian spies, phantom profits and office bullies: welcome to the City of London,” journalist Jill Treanor states:

“Mr Derhalli surprised the court by saying Lehman hired "spies" - former KGB operatives - to get advice on how best to recoup its loans in Russia. "The advice we got back from them was they were scared to talk about the people involved _ and they asked to drop it and not bother at all because they themselves were frightened to deal with them," Mr Derhalli said. Even so, he had turned down the offer of a bodyguard. "If someone is going to kill you, they will kill you anyway," he said. Calm and collected, Mr Derhalli said one of the traditional ways to avoid repaying debts among the Russian banking community was to kill the banker.”

Although many outlets repeatedly mention Mark Carney’s involvement in the Russian financial crisis, there is no evidence to what role he played. Carney’s involvement was described as “significant” in various outlets, yet there appears to be little to no clue to the details of his involvement. The City of London becomes like an economic Wild West when major international financial crises hit and hawks like Carney are the first in to strip the meat from the bones of the proverbial economic carcass.

Mark Carney’s employer Goldman Sachs threw everything they could at Russia during the period. The 17 August financial collapse hadn’t materialised from nowhere, Russia had been lurching towards collapse throughout 1998. In October 1998, the New York Times Joseph Kahn and Timothy L. O’Brien released a provocatively titled article called: “EASY MONEY: A special report.; For Russia and Its U.S. Bankers, Match Wasn’t Made in Heaven” where the authors state:

“And in June, as Russia lurched toward a financial crisis that set off global shock waves, the House of Unions was rented for a glittering celebration of capitalism, with one of the country's most ardent bankers, Goldman, Sachs & Company, as its host. Goldman flew in former President George Bush, paying him more than $100,000, and entertained Russia's former Prime Minister. But between toasts to United States-Russian ties, the talk was about what really mattered to Goldman and many Wall Street brethren: deals. True, Russia was a mess, the Government's bank accounts were almost empty and even the postal system was near collapse. But Goldman wanted to become Russia's leading deal maker, paid handsomely to finance the Government and newly private businesses. Now was the time to prove that Goldman could come through with money in a crisis. So in the days preceding its elegant soiree, Goldman helped the Government raise money by selling $1.25 billion in bonds. A few weeks later, it arranged a complex deal in which short-term debt was exchanged for long-term debt to give Russia financial breathing room.”

Goldman wasn’t simply helping the suddenly desperate Russians, they were buying them out and loading them with debt. Within two months, the bonds Goldman had sold were worthless but the company had minimised their losses to what they described as “absolutely minimal”. Goldman maintained a small office in Russia after the collapse and their pre-collapse fire sale had been successful. Whether or not this is what Mark Carney was involved with during his time at Goldman Sachs during the Russian financial collapse, he worked for a smooth operator. By 24 August, only a week after the collapse, George Soros’s Quantum Fund announced that it had lost $2 billion in the Russian markets over the previous year.

In the early 2000s, Carney returned to Canada, still working for Goldman Sachs as a Toronto-based Managing Director in the investment banking division. In 2003, Mark Carney left Goldman Sachs and became one step closer to government. On 29 April 2003, the Bank of Canada announced the appointment of David Longsworth and Mark Carney as Deputy Governors. The following year, the Prime Minister of Canada announced that Mark Carney had been appointed Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance. The Bank of Canada’s Governor David Hodge is reported as saying:

“Mr. Carney would continue to contribute to public policy in his new role at the Finance Department.”

At the Department of Finance, Carney became the senior associate deputy minister and G7 deputy, serving under both Liberal and Conservative Party finance ministers during his tenure. In the position he oversaw the selling of the federal government’s stake in Petro-Canada, something his father may have advised against. Regardless, it was seen as a profitable venture. Ottawa made $3.1 billion from the sale of Petro-Canada and that was considered “wildly successful” by many commentators. Carney had garnered a no-nonsense attitude, he was known for being tough on those who worked with him. Doug Guzman, a colleague who worked with Carney at Goldman Sachs said: "If you were messing up, you'd know about it right away."

Carney could work under any political banner. When he switched from being under a Liberal Minister of Finance to a Conservative, he quickly adapted. Soon he was looking to tax income tax at source, a relatively controversial plan that may have cemented his chances at becoming Governor of the Bank of Canada.

In November 2007, Carney was announced as the next Governor of the Bank of Canada and it wasn’t long before Mark Carney was sitting at the top table of the most elite policy institutes in the world. The week before Carney assumed his new position on 1 February 2008, Carney attended the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The following year, Mark Carney could be found in Davos again, attending 8 more WEF annual meetings between 2009 and 2023. If his visits to Davos weren’t enough to trigger the conspiratorially-minded among us, his various visits to the infamous Bilderberg events certainly have been. Carney was welcomed into the top echelons of the most powerful and secretive Globalist public policy institutes.

Carney had worked across the globe as an economic hawk. He had cut his teeth in the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, and South Africa, and now he was representing his beloved Canada on the world stage. Carney was soon heading up vital parts of the Globalist infrastructure. In 2009, the Financial Stability Board was established after the G20 summit in April of that year and was to be the successor to the Financial Stability Forum. The board was set up to be an international body to monitor the global financial system and to make recommendations when necessary. Mario Draghi became the first leader of the Financial Stability Board when he was Governor of the Bank of Italy and, in November 2011, Mark Carney took over from him, remaining in that position until 2018. he remained in this position throughout his 5 years as Governor of the Bank of Canada and throughout the first 5 years serving as the Governor of the Bank of England.

On 1 July 2013, Mark Carney succeeded Mervyn King as the first ever foreign-born Governor of the Bank of England. This came as a surprise to most British economists and Carney’s appointment initially caused concern among some of the commentators but he was soon being treated as a “rock star banker”.

Honour the Carney

As MSM news outlets announce that Mark Carney has won the race to become the next Prime Minister of Canada, articles across the world will repeat the same sanctioned and sanitised information about this high-level Globalist technocrat. However, it’s not difficult to discover more about this hot-shot Canadian banker than what the press wants you to know. Mark Carney’s father defended the indefensible on behalf of the Catholic church as he played down the systematic sexual abuse of children all over Canada. This is something I’ve come across many times before when investigating elite circles; familial links to official cover-ups. Whether it’s Klaus Schwab’s father’s work on the Nazi atomic bomb program and his use of slave labour, or Theresa May’s father’s work with the serial killer John Bodkin Adams, I find that those whose parents help in official state cover-ups seem to be richly rewarded by the Establishment.

Even if you have a less conspiratorial mindset than I, you’ll surely agree that those who were involved in playing down confirmed historical sexual abuse cases deserve a special place in hell. Out of the children who suffered systematic sexual abuse at Canadian Catholic schools, some of them were never seen again. This remains an issue which Canadian politicians often pay lip service to without taking significant action. Do you think that a Prime Minister of Canada, who is close to the Pope, and whose father helped play down the abuse and murder of First Nation children at Catholic schools across the country will be the person to champion such an issue?

There are also lots of questions to be asked concerning Mark Carney’s actions on behalf of Goldman Sachs during the 1998 Russian financial collapse. Although almost every biography of Mark Carney mentions that he was involved in the infamous deal, finding information about his role in the crisis seems impossible. This is especially pertinent seeing as the 1998 collapse had many Western intelligence ties, including a collaboration with the former US President and one-time head of the CIA, George H. W. Bush. These events make legends out of those who run in elite circles, and a legendary mythos has followed around Carney after 1998 with little to no evidence of what part he played.

Another significant player in the rise and organised development of various Globalist elites was a true man for all seasons, JK Galbraith. Whenever John Kenneth Galbraith appears on the scene in any investigation, you know you’re dealing with the selection process of potential future leaders in their fields. Galbraith influenced Henry Kissinger, Herman Kahn, Benazir Bhutto, Gloria Steinem, JFK, Pierre Trudeau, Ted Heath and, of course, Mark Carney can be added to that long list. Galbraith played a vital role in founding the World Economic Forum, including lobbying European politicians to become involved alongside a young Klaus Schwab and being the co-keynote speaker at the first event. By the time Mark Carney was introduced to JK Galbraith, the latter had become a veritable kingmaker of future young global leaders.

Mark Carney has been selected for leadership. Rarely has he had to compete for a position, and knowing his history, it’s not surprising. He seems to have been preordained to rule. Carney has breezed to power in a fashion that exposes the current political system as easily overridden by a semi-secret Globalist meritocracy, run by a small hidden elite, emanating from the same infamous steering groups, public policy institutes, and round-table organisations as always.

However, it should be noted that Mark Carney has not reached his peak. It seems like Carney still has a big part to play in the creation of the multi-polar Globalist Technocratic society which is being forced upon us.

To the Globalists, Mark Carney is more than just a man, he’s a projection of everything they desire. He’s a rock-star banker, he’s the king of the round-tables, he’s the Technocratic Messiah.
