Even more curious is the statement about how they expect to be contacted only by "a head of State" or someone that has the security status of the "Six most powerful people in the world".
I can't watch the video here right now, but thanks for posting this curious piece.

I wouldn't put too much weight behind things said in the House of Lords because it is the place the Brits put all the nutty gov workers, IIRC.
Regardless, it is a really odd speech he gave.
I wonder if it is the Gates Foundation? They were in England last week I think.
Vatican is also a possibility, but for some reason, I really doubt it is them. Just my gut telling me it's not them.
As stated above Rothschild bought out the Bank of England over 100 years ago and has been in firm control of England and her economics for a looooong time. This is either some agent of Rothschild, agent of some sort of controlled opposition type group, or who the fk knows.. Russians, perhaps? Chinese?
Hmm...
I think someone is trying to get an alliance with the UK before the bombs start going off.
Lord James: Foundation X not a scam
A mysterious organisation that claims to have billions of pounds to invest in the UK economy is not an attempted scam, according to a peer with extensive City experience.
Lord James of Blackheath told ZDNet UK on Thursday that the organisation, which Lord James has dubbed 'Foundation X', to his knowledge is a viable organisation.
"I'm convinced it's bona fide," said James. "I've been working on this case for five months, and I've not found a single reason [to think otherwise]."
Blogger Hopi Sen suggested in a blog post on Wednesday that the mysterious organisation could be the "United Nations Office of International Treasury Control" ([size=14pt]UNOITC), which claims to be a sovereign entity formed after the Second World War.
James told ZDNet UK that he had not been approached by the UNOITC, and that there were no links between Foundation X and UNOITC.
James, who was a respected troubleshooter in the City, made a speech to Parliament on Monday. James said that a mysterious organisation was willing to put £5bn into the UK economy, plus an extra £17bn for hospitals, schools, and Crossrail, with no strings attached.
"The problem is, the government has not carried through the checks that I want them to do and open up lines of enquiry," James told ZDNet UK.
James also said in Parliament that he had been appointed by the Bank of England to "deal with problems" caused by the laundering of terrorist money.
"I have had one of the biggest experiences in the laundering of terrorist money and funny money that anyone has had in the City," James said in Parliament. "I have handled billions of pounds of terrorist money. My biggest terrorist client was the IRA and I am pleased to say that I managed to write off more than £1bn of its money. I have also had extensive connections with north African terrorists, but that was of a far nastier nature, and I do not want to talk about that because it is still a security issue."
James told ZDNet UK on Thursday that he had been brought into five companies between 1989 and 1997/98 at the direction of the Bank of England. James was to run the companies down, as they had been identified as conduits for IRA funds.
"The IRA had five companies completely ruined," said James. "They had built the companies up as pensions funds."
James' express instructions were to run the companies down and liquidise the assets, he said.
"I'm a money washer, not a money launderer," said James. [/size]

I am just posting part of the article. Most of it rehashes what has been posted.
What the hell is a "City grandee"?
Conservative peer Lord James of Blackheath: I'm a money washer, not a money launderer
Background
Lord James is a City grandee, whose career spans five recessions and has been corporate restructuring expert for over 30 years. He is an adviser for Cerberus Capital Management, a US private equity house and distressed debt investor, that tried to bid for Northern Rock.
He has also been involved with restructuring of Lloyd's of London in the 1980s, the Eagle Trust - the manufacturer involved in the Iraqi supergun affair, and the doomed Millennium Dome.
In 2005 he was appointed as an adviser to Michael Howard, awarded the CBE in 1992 and made a life baron in 2006. Read more at Wikipedia
The transcript of the proceedings are listed in the official parliamentary records Hansard here.
A recording of the speech is available to view below. Lord James begins his address at around the 2 minutes 30 seconds mark.

It sounds to me like the Nigerians are starting to target governments:
"If you will please to respond with your bank account number and any passwords pertaining to the account we will expedite the wiring of 5 billions of pounds as an initial payment in good faith which you can use to begin the restore of finances of your country".
"Money washer"... Hmmm... He sounds like John Perkins, who recently came clean and wrote a book about it. I read the book last winter.
