Do Banksters Kill Millions Of People?

Do Banksters Kill Millions Of People?

In the public’s mind, the war trials following World War II demonstrated that evil must be vanquished and punished. But the Nuremberg Trials were simply a propaganda showcase. In reality, the only difference between the “good guys” and the “bad guys” was that the “good guys” had more guns.

What the people of the world did not see and still do not understand is that the real issues of World War II were never allowed to come up for public debate — certainly not at the Nuremberg Trials. The issue was that both sides prosecuted the war with paper money.

What are the facts? The facts are that both combatants were equally guilty of promoting esoteric warfare on their own populations as well as on each other. Someone(s) who wanted to initiate a new world human drama lined up and supplied both sides. The cost of human life was incidental to the money creators. But if there is a “cause,” people will die and sacrifice their own flesh.

Both the United States and Germany should have been on trial at Nuremberg, Germany in 1945 for war crimes. Oh, the German high command was guilty all right — but no less so than the U.S. or British high command.

It is not debatable that both sides sent millions of their own young soldiers to an early death. Both sides also killed millions of civilians. And the allied powers, fighting ostensibly to keep Europe free from Nazism, condemned millions of Eastern Europeans to years of suffering the oppression of communism under Russia’s boot heel.

Forget all the propaganda and all the blame and consider the honest answer as to who was at fault on both sides. Do we want the honest answer? Can we stand the light of day?

The people who caused the great world wars and all wars that have brought death and suffering to millions of people were the central bankers in other countries and the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States.

Central banks create paper money and credit for government and politicians to spend for war and their socialist agenda. All of the money and credit now crushing the American people was created by the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve (which is neither Federal, nor does it hold reserves). It is owned, as it has been since its beginning, by a few bankster families in the United States and Europe.

Your local banker is probably innocent in this scheme. I doubt if one person in 1,000 — and that includes most bank employees — has a clue as to how money is created by banks.

Banks don’t have loads of paper money in their vaults. When they start to make a customer loan, they just create the money with a bookkeeping entry. It costs the bank nothing, but the customer has to pay interest.

Bankers big and small love this system, as do politicians. This gives them a silent and unfair advantage over the people.

Paper money and credit are the licenses for all the evil that the human mind of man can conjure up and create. Central bankers have demonstrated in the past 100 years that with a stroke of a computer digit they can create trillions of dollars as easily as they can $1. Yes, they create these dollars out of nothing, but you have to work for your dollars.

Printing-press money is the means and motivation for endless wars and endless death and suffering, courtesy of the banksters. This is banker blood money and with it they devalue all the money in circulation. It is an insidious confiscation of wealth that not one person in 1 million understands or is even aware of.

Devaluation of the currency is the prime and silent purpose of banker-created money. Even at this hour, devaluation is impoverishing Americans by reducing and diluting the purchasing power of their money. This goes on all the time, even while we sleep.

You can’t bury your money deep enough to save it from the money creators. It is all very simple. The more money the banksters create, the less yours is worth.

The point of this article is that World War I, World War II and any war that we can think of — including the wars in the Mideast — would not last more than a few days without the banksters creating money to prosecute war. Wars have to be funded.

Bankster-created money is the blood of war as well as the impoverishment of the people. All central bankers create the money for war and death.

Paper money appears in the absence of the gold standard. Banksters and politicians hate the gold standard because the gold standard disciplines them and the bureaucrats to the rule of law.

Banksters create the money for war and death. The discipline of the gold standard would have prevented all the wars of the past 100 years. Millions of soldiers have died for nothing, as have millions of civilians.

    A good book for everybody should read it tells a lot about what is happening in the U.S and what has happened in the past that got us the problems we have today.Go to the web site ,www.biblebeliversbiz/isreal.htm.The Life of an Ameriacan Jew in Racist Marxiest Isreal.By Jack Bernstein.

    We entered WW ll because Hitler did away with elections in Germany and was fighting to do the same worldwide. That’s not very hard to understand!

    • Jimmy The Greek

      That is Bullchet !

  • Sirian

    May sound a bit insane but the “bankers” could, in reality, zero out deficits with a few strokes of the keys at a computer. The money – deficits – have no value whatsoever since the money spent by the suckers (nations/governments) to create the deficits is nothing more than Monopoly money – fake, imaginary. Is that not the cornerstone of the of Fed? No longer on a “gold standard”, thanks to Nixon, the Fed can and will rule. With that being a reality that most don’t understand then why would it be insane to generally think the other? The only problem or obstacle to something such as this though is that the “bankers elite”, which stand in the financial/political shadows they create, hold more power due to their ability to quietly, conveniently satisfy the fools – nations/governments/people – seeking their own level of power. Bob’s article is definitely on point, by all means. But the less people understand the longer it will carry on.

  • nc

    Mr. Livingston, if it costs banks NOTHING to make loans why do so many go broke? They go broke taking deposits??
    If it only takes a click on a computer to create money it also only takes a few clicks on a word processor by a biased person to create a villian in the eyes of his unquestioning followers!
    There were many free interprise manufactures who hated to see the wars end when they were making good money suppling the war effort.
    If we were on the gold standard how much could we have afforded to spend to on World War II before we would have had to notify German and Japan we were pulling out due to financial restraints?

    • DaveH

      You are mixing apples and oranges, NC (as usual). Name a Federal Reserve Bank that has failed? The Federal Reserve System (composed of twelve regional banks) creates the fiat money, then lends it to member banks. There are other banks that are not member banks of the Federal Reserve System.

      • nc

        DaveH, it appears that it is you, not I, who is mixing the apples and oranges! Mr. Livingston makes no distinctions as to banks and seems to be describing in some detail the operations of individual banks that make loans and not the Federal Reserve Bank.

      • DaveH

        No, NC, it is you. Apparently you have a reading disability. Bob clearly refers to Central Banks.
        And in fact in one spot he says — “Your local banker is probably innocent in this scheme”.

    • RM

      My understanding is that with our the banksters and the international chemical monopolies like IG Farben pulling the strings, we would not have been involved. If the banksters only had influence in Europe, the USA would not have been drawn into the battles and we would not have had the young American need to die. “A Family Matter” by Peter Roosevelt explains how his father, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin met to set up the rulers of the world. This design allowed the bankers to use the ‘cold war’ to control the miitary and develop the national debt. So we trade evil man #1 Hitler for evil man #2 Stalin and continue the spending and debt buildup that advances the bankers control and enslavement of individuals. RM

  • Jean

    NINJA, No income, no job or assets. Socialism seeks to help the poor by having the govt. give them things that the middle class works for. Then the govt. needs more money than it can raise in taxes, so it borrows money from the Federal Reserve which is about as Federal as Federal Express. The Fed then creates the money that it loans to the Govt. at interest out of thin air, just like regular banks do with the fractional reserve idea. The extra money then going into circulation devalues everyone else’s money by reducing the purchasing power of the money that they have been saving in banks or financial institutions. This slowly destroys the middle class and moves them down to join the poor. With the govt. indebted to the privately owned Federal Reserve the taxpayers of that govt. also become indebted to the Federal Reserve(aka Banksters). Not too long ago a 1 ounce gold coin was worth only $20. instead of around $1,600. today, down from a high of just under $ 2,000. I understand that people paying the temple tax or whatever exactly they were needing the money for could only use a specific coin, and that the money changers were ripping them off when they exchanged other types of money for this specific coin that was the only acceptable coin. They money changers were simply using their monopoly to charge what ever the market would bear.

    • Howard Roark

      well said Jean.

  • Dave67

    The Banksters and the Defense Industry play huge roles in the wars we wage. And guess what?, the Tea party and their corp bankrollers like David and Charles Koch are helping this along by their support for the Citizen’s United decision on the one hand and the destruction of Unions on the other. So if unions are out of the way, then Corporations have exclusive access to Congress and pass the laws that benefit their narrow interests. Do you think Corporations have this country’s best interests at heart?

    Many foolish people here are worried about socialism taking over this country. If they were smart, they would be more concerned with corporatism in Gov destroying this country. But corp interests are very careful to craft the narrative on the conservative side to make it seem people are losing freedom in this country but yet when pressed about it, these people cannot name a freedom they have lost. The Corporatists are taking away opposition to their message as we speak. 9/11 gave the corporatists the vehicle they needed to get everyone scared so they vote more conservative. They led to the activist conservative supreme court we have now and the nonsense that was Citizen’s United.

    So when the Unions are finally gone, and people are making less, in worse conditions because more rules are relaxed, you know now what happened.

    Corporatism….

    • DaveH

      Corporatism could not exist (by definition) without Crony Politicians. And Crony Politicians can only aid their Corporate Cronies by virtue of Government involvement in the Marketplace.
      For Free Markets, Limited Government, Personal Responsibility, Individual Freedom, and the PEACE that comes with those — Vote Libertarian!

    • Dave67

      DaveH,

      Crony politicians do not exist until they are bought by the corporations or as you say “the free market players” which you love so much.

      Corporations lobby and pay for elections
      Their politicians get elected
      Corporations want something for their trouble…

      Amazing how that works isn’t it?

      David and Charles Koch, you know them, part owner of the CATO Institute, major player in the Heritage Foundation, Freedomworks etc and tea party godfathers…In edition to pouring money to make sure the vote for the “Citizen’s United” went their way. They paid the wife of Clarence Thomas over 600K to participate in the decision. But did Thomas recuse himself? Nope… These guys also poured millions into WI to bust public unions because 46K for a teacher is to blame for WI’s budget woes… Are these guys patriots in your mind DaveH? I see them as dangerous to this country’s future.

      Now DaveH, if you would like to skim a bit off the US Constitution and get rid of that pesky 1st Amendment, we can eliminate lobbying all together. Do you support that? You being a Constitutionalist and all.

      • DaveH

        Here we go again. Dave67, the guy who fabricates whatever facts he needs to support his positions, indicting the Koch Brothers as corporatists.
        In fact, the Koch Brothers promote Libertarian causes such as those promoted by Cato. What do Libertarians believe? That we should have Free Markets — Free of Government peoples’ meddling to give their Crony Capitalists an unfair advantage in the Marketplace. With Free Markets, the consumers’ decide which companies succeed and which fail. With Un-Free Markets, the Politicians decide which companies succeed and which fail, and of course those companies who succeed are those who contribute the most to the Politicians’ campaigns and other such aid.
        So Dave67 would have us believe that the Koch Brothers are Corporatists, e.g. that they are masochists in the business sense.
        Doesn’t make much sense does it? But then Dave67′s contentions rarely do.
        Here’s a sample article from Cato.org:
        http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/life-is-good-capital-crony-capitalism

        Now, personally I think Cato is a bit too mushy for my Libertarian senses, so I much prefer the hard-hitting unvarnished truth that comes from Mises Institute. But Cato is certainly preferable to the propaganda that comes from the mouths of people like Dave67.

      • Dave67

        DaveH,

        LOL The CATO Institute is owned in part by the Koch’s… They have given 4M+ to get Romney into the WH.

        The Koch’s want the Gov to make decisions that favor THEIR interests

        You are NEVER going to have a Gov in an industrial country like ours completely out of the market. Its never existed and it will not exist because Gov negotiate trade deals, Gov provides for worker safety regs, environmental safety regs etc…

        But no… you and your brilliance think that I want the Gov to pick the winners and losers when that is EXACTLY what the Koch are doing as we speak.

        The Kochs actively campaign against Union AND the actively campaigned FOR the Citizen’s United decisions. Are you that naive?

        You certainly are if you think mises.org is the bible of how reality works.

        Do you get paid by mises.org to put forth their propaganda DaveH?

      • DaveH

        Don’t let him kid you, Folks. Dave67 advocates Socialism, and pretty much anything else he says is just a smokescreen. Socialize — to make Social (that is spread among the people, as in bad investments like Government Boondoggles), from the latin Socius — comrade. He rails against the Koch Brothers because they fund efforts to Free our Markets, the opposite of what Dave67 and his ilk want for us. It’s called a Trojan Horse. Dave67 and his ilk try to convince people they’re on their side, so that they can secretly undermine them.

      • DaveH

        Dave67 says — “You are NEVER going to have a Gov in an industrial country like ours completely out of the market”.
        Not if Dave67 and his gang can help it. Because without meddling in the Marketplace, the gang would find it much tougher to take advantage of the people, and they will fight tough and nail to keep people from waking to that fact.
        Never say Never, Dave67.

      • Dave67

        Oh and Nancy, your side also harp on the same stuff over and over again…as if the same lies become true if repeated over and over again.

        When I asked in a previous thread what freedoms have you lost that makes Obama this evil-doer that you had prior?

        You give me “I can’t protest near the president” Which BTW was put in place after Hinkley tried to kill Reagan.

        You guys need a new record, yours, DaveH, Kate8, Jay, JeffH’s is broken.

      • DaveH

        Dave67 says — “You give me “I can’t protest near the president” Which BTW was put in place after Hinkley tried to kill Reagan”.
        I said no such thing, Dave67. You are a liar. But then the regular readers already know that.

      • DaveH

        You’re making Liberals look really bad with your chronic lying, Dave67. Maybe you should seek another line of work.

      • Dave67

        DaveH are you Nancy?

        If you bothered to read, that was a reponse for Nancy from Neb.

        You may return to your regular propaganda spewing DaveH

      • DaveH

        I thought you were doing your usual name-calling since Nancy isn’t anywhere in the Thread that you’re responding to.

      • DaveH

        Dave67 says — “I asked in a previous thread what freedoms have you lost that makes Obama this evil-doer that you had prior?”.
        I’ll answer that.
        1) Mandatory Health Care Insurance.
        2) EPA bypassing Congress and working to implement Carbon Taxes.
        3) FCC bypassing Congress to impose Net Neutrality rules.
        4) FCC ignoring the First Amendment to impose localism rules on radio stations.

      • Dave67

        DaveH once again… YOU Lost under Obama… You give:

        DaveH says:

        I’ll answer that.
        1) Mandatory Health Care Insurance.

        Freedom to be a burden on society… really? Its called responsibility. I thought that was the liberatrian way? Since Ronald Reagan decreed that anyone who is sick or injured gets treated regardless of ability to pay. But I guess if you can’t pay, you should be left to die.

        2) EPA bypassing Congress and working to implement Carbon Taxes.

        This is YOUR freedom to?

        3) FCC bypassing Congress to impose Net Neutrality rules.

        This is YOUR freedom taken away how?

        4) FCC ignoring the First Amendment to impose localism rules on radio stations.

        LOL! this one is hilarious…

        http://www.radioink.com/HeadlineEntry.asp?hid=140804&pt=todaysnews

        http://www.broadcastlawblog.com/2008/01/articles/public-interest-obligationsloc/fcc-releases-specifics-of-localism-rulemaking-proposing-lots-of-new-rules-for-broadcasters/

        So the same week Obama is in the White House with Bush appointees still heading up the FCC… This is Obama. Ok

        Very lame list as much as you loons like to talk about tyranny and freedoms lost.

        Much talk, little details

      • DaveH

        As usual, the Liberals give us a gift, with somebody else’s money, Free Health Care, and then they use that unsolicited gift as an excuse to obligate us and take away our Freedom of Choice, saying that we will be a burden on Society if we don’t buy the Insurance. But we’re only a burden because they created that condition (other people being responsible for our problems) in the first place.
        So Dave67 is one of those guys who takes a girl out, buys her dinner, and then later tells her she owes him sex.

        You’re sick, Dave67, seek help.

      • Jeff

        DaveH:

        Your analogy makes no sense and you’re a very angry person for such a “happy” wingnut. An apt analogy is the fire department paid by property taxes. Should the fire department look up your tax records before deciding to put out a fire at your house? Is that what you want fire fighters and paramedics doing or should they just be saving lives.

        If you have a heart attack or stroke or diabetic attack or any of a thousand things, you go straight to the hospital. They don’t demand payment up front, but all the doctors and nurses like to eat, so eventually someone pays for that hospitalization. If you remain uninsured, you’re getting that service, just like the fire service, free of charge. I know Republicans don’t like the idea of anybody (else) getting anything for nothing, so how does that service get paid for. Don’t say the hospital can bill them, because the bill can easily be $100,000 and for most people that might as well be a million.

        So, what’s the solution? Stop taking people to the emergency room? What if they have insurance?

      • DaveH

        Dave67 says — “2) EPA bypassing Congress and working to implement Carbon Taxes.
        This is YOUR freedom to?
        3) FCC bypassing Congress to impose Net Neutrality rules.
        This is YOUR freedom taken away how?”
        Equivocate all you want, Dave67. We’re not talking about my particular Freedoms. We’re talking about Freedom for Americans in general. Yes, business owners are people also. And if you had any brains at all, you would know that the business owners either pass the costs to their workers, or the consumers, or they go out of business. So we all pay.
        And Net Neutrality rules are an obvious underhanded effort for Government to manipulate the Internet, which affects the Freedom of Speech for all of us. Not to mention, stealing money from people to pay for the boondoggle.
        Do you Liberals have even a shred of morality?

      • DaveH

        FCC, Obama, Localism. Dave67 says Obama is not responsible?
        Yet here we have an article which reveals that “On September 20, 2007, Obama submitted a pro-localism written statement to an FCC hearing held at the Chicago headquarters of Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s Operation Push”:
        http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/11/obama_declares_war_on_conserva.html

        Call me all the names you want, Dave67. I’m used to fact-fabricating illogical Liberals attempting to stop me from exposing them with manipulative personal attacks.

      • DaveH

        Jeff says — “Your analogy makes no sense and you’re a very angry person for such a “happy” wingnut”.
        It makes no sense to you, Jeff, because you’re a Progressive Follower who thinks taking other people’s hard earned money and forcing your pet peeves on them is a moral thing to do. But then, you same people will turn around and rail against the Big Bad Companies, who are producing the goods that sustain and make your lives better, and advocate taking their money, meanwhile thinking nothing of the Hypocritical nature of such complaining and theft.
        Wingnut? I’m not the one, Jeff, that Hopes and Dreams that a system will work this time, regardless of the fact that it has failed everywhere it’s been implemented.
        The solution, Jeff, is for you and your kind to quit taking other peoples’ money as if it were your own. You think you’re a humanitarian, but you’re not. You’re just a common thief in a very large gang of common thieves. True humanitarians help out with their own money and time, not other peoples’ unwilling money and time (slavery).

      • Jeff

        DaveH:

        I said your analogy makes no sense because it has no applicability to the healthcare debate, not because I disagree with you on the issue. Do you think maybe, just this once, you could dispense with the ad hominem attacks on me and others and just explain how your analogy applies to the healthcare debate? Your analogy involved Dave67 taking a woman to dinner, then telling her she owed him sex.

        By the way, if I get taxed for something I don’t want but you do (maybe the Iraq war), does that make you a thief? You know, George Orwell was concerned about many things in his life but what most concerned him was the murder of the language!

      • DaveH

        And I find it odd, Jeff, that you can dis me because I don’t think you have the right to steal my money for other peoples’ support, as if that makes me heartless, but then say nothing about Dave67′s comment which started it all — “Mandatory Health Care Insurance.
        Freedom to be a burden on society… really”.
        So, if I object to being forced to insert a middleman in my Health Care plans (Health Care Insurance), I will be a burden to society? Translation, the Liberals don’t want to help me when I need it. So, I’m heartless for wanting to keep my own money, but then you guys aren’t heartless for not wanting to help me if I suffer Health Misfortune (even with other peoples’ money) just because I don’t want to buy a product that I know is NOT cost effective? Add to that the fact that most of you Liberals have no qualms about killing babies. What a bunch of Colossal Hypocrites.
        I warned Folks about this 30 years ago when the Progressives first started Socializing other peoples’ Healthcare costs. They get their foot in the door with these so-called humanitarian efforts (if you can calling enslaving people “humanitarian”), then they use the excuse that “Society” is paying for our care, so it’s okay to take away our Freedom of Choice.
        The bottom line is that a relatively small portion of the population, the Leaders and their Cronies, are living fat and happy on our money. How did they achieve that? By convincing Ignorant people, like Jeff, to abandon morality, i.e. steal other peoples’ money and force personal choices on other people, and to abandon all sense of reason, i.e. Socialism always has, and always will be a failure because it’s underlying theme is enslaving other unwilling people who naturally resist the slavery and work less thus producing less. Add to that the fact that we have plentiful cheap goods because that money that Progressives want to steal and spend on themselves might otherwise have been invested by those dastardly Rich People on Capital Machinery which is responsible for providing those cheap and plentiful goods.

      • Jeff

        Have you ever had a disagreement with someone who wasn;’t necessarily evil? Somehow, I don’t think you talk like this in your real life. Dave, we live in a society and we all pay taxes for the society to do things. Some involve infrastructure, some war, and some involve social programs to prevent millions of people running around w/o food or housing or healthcare. This is done not necessarily because all the people who favor such policies are “humanitarian,” but because they are required for a decent society. If you truly want to live in a society where people die in the street, just say so. I don’t think that’s what you want, but maybe it is.

        Government is all of us, Dave. We do these things because we believe they will lead to a better society. No man is an island and we do have a social contract. You have every right to rail against policies you don’t like as do I. But please cut back on the name-calling unless you would like to be called a fascist or warmonger every time you support policies people in the left HALF of the populace don’t like.

      • DaveH

        And then Jeff who just a comment earlier called me a “wingnut” because he didn’t agree with my statement, has the unmitigated gall to say this to me — “Do you think maybe, just this once, you could dispense with the ad hominem attacks on me and others?”.
        Wow, Liberal mentality has no bounds, does it?

      • Jeff

        But you didn’t respond! Why do you think dismissing someone as Progressive somehow ends the discussion? And calling me a common thief because I disagree with you? I think you have a problem expressing yourself logically, my friend.

      • DaveH

        Those who are sincerely compassionate, but aren’t locked into the Progressive Paradigm or wealth redistribution, should read this book, especially Chapter 7, “The Morality of Capitalism”:
        http://mises.org/books/capitalism_kelly.pdf
        Don’t be one of the duped Progressive Followers that the Selfish Leaders are using to help feather their nests.

      • DaveH

        And Jeff, I call you a “common thief”, because you ARE a common thief. You can hide behind the coattails of your Government enforcers, but the bottom line is that they couldn’t steal other peoples’ money without your enabling vote.

      • Jeff

        Unbelievable. You have proven yourself incapable of rational dialog.

      • truesoy

        Jeff;

        …that is the way of the conservative.
        DaveH enjoys all the benefits provided by the colletive financial effort of society (taxes) yet refuses to acknowledge it. He probably thinks they fall from an apple tree.

        Sincerely,

        I guess you guys just can’t see it in your partisan mindsets. The socialist ideology of unionism ( not the working man) and the corporate cronyism of National Socialism as defined; Big business and big government working together for their own agenda, not the people’s, are part and parcel of the same agenda. If you guys would stop your pedantic, inane and ego centric squabbling and get together and combine your energies to exposing and brining down the real enemy, this world would be better off.

      DaveH has no rebuttal…. So he goes to the only place he has which is to call me a socialist. A simple argument for a simple mind.

      David and Charles Koch are trying to radically change this country. They are trying to destroy the Unions while allowing unfettered big corp money to influence elections. That leaves corporations as the only big money players in the political arena.

      the result of which will mean more money for the Koch’s, less money for the poor and middle class. Their lobby will roll back worker’s safety laws, minimum wages, engage in trade laws similar to NAFTA.

      DaveH is either a liar or an agent for these interests. You have been exposed for the fraud you are.

      • Dave67

        Oh and DaveH, I just visited Koch Industries website…. Maybe you can help me, I could find the part of their corp Governance that maintains loyalty to the United States of America. Do you have it in Mises.org?

      • Nancy in Nebraska

        You just love to put the focus on the Koch brothers. It’s no different for the liberals. They’ve got good ole george soros. The corruption is equal on both sides. But you never cease to point your finger at the Koch brothers. Give it up! If the politicians (on both sides) were not corrupt, it wouldn’t be an issue! Just stop saying the same thing over and over again! Do you think that if you keep saying it we’ll eventually agree with you? It won’t happen! Do some reading. Learn something else so you don’t have to keep saying the same thing all of the time! You’re getting stale!!!

        Nancy,

        I do much reading and from many different sources, both in this country and outside.

        I noticed you cannot refute what I am saying because it is true, corporate interests are in process of radically changing this country.

        They are killing the Unions and making sure their money (unlimited amounts) are allowed in the process with no accountability and visibility where it comes from.

        Are you seriously telling me this is not a HUGE deal?

        Everyone here squawks about SOCIALISM SOCIALISM!!!! bur are blind to what is really going on. Corporatism in Gov.

        Maybe its you Nancy that needs to do some reading.

        Dave67 does what Liberals usually do, bastardizes the language in an attempt to confuse and mislead ignorant people.
        Free Markets are the Opposite of Corporatism (Crony Capitalism), and Dave67 most likely knows that. But still he persists in his Liberal efforts to confuse people who know no better.
        Dave67, I’ve proved repeatedly that you have no credibility. Why do you insist on pestering good people?

      • DaveH

        And Dave67, you’ve proved repeatedly that you are pro Socialist with your constant lies and equivocations in an attempt to confuse and misinform the readers about what Free Markets (Capitalism) are all about.

      • Dave67

        DaveH,

        Your propaganda is false.

        Does lobbying exist in your perfect world? How to you propose to stop it with the first amendment in place? If you can’t stop it, how do you prevent corporations from lobbying the Government to pass laws that benefit their narrow interests thus interfering in the marketplace

        Do you have an answer? of your own? a link to a BS site doesn’t cut it.

        And you lie… I do not nor do I ever advocate Socialism as as a favorable economic model. That is you pulling crap out of your hind quarters yet again. just because I don’t adhere to mises.org theory. I believe in capitalism and socialism pieces that make up the best system as proven by the United States and how it came to economic prominance.

        You sir are a fraud and a propagandist.

        But keep trying… maybe one day, you and your little cronies might start to think for yourselves and what a scary day that will be.

      • DaveH

        I can back up anything I say with references, Dave67. It is you who constantly repeats untruths in the apparent effort to convince readers that your lies are fact, i.e. Propaganda.
        With your constant false accusations and lies, you have definitely reached Troll status, Dave67.

      • Dave67

        DaveH,

        General links to mises.org giving general definitions of what capitalism and socialism are is not a real reference.

        I asked you about the Koch Brothers trying to destroy unions while at the same time, supporting unfettered and anonymous corp money in the political system and you come up with the classic bait and switch.

        Have the Koch Brothers give 4M+ to the Romney campaign and their agents?
        Did the Koch brothers filter millions of dollars in the WI anti-Union campaign?
        Did the Koch Brothers pay millions to make sure Citizen’s United decision was the “right” one?

        Can you answer honestly?

        No, you have shown yourself to be dishonest time and time again. You would have the foolish here believe that the Koch Brothers after destroying unions and gaining the ability to give millions to politicians, would simply give that power up once the unions were officially in the grave.

        You may have been born yesterday but I am not. I believe you may be a paid agent. But you are no advocate for this country.

      • DaveH

        Show us what I have said that is dishonest, Dave67. It’s as simple as that. But you can’t, so instead you make groundless accusations like a typical foul and disrespectful Liberal.
        Remember, Folks, these are the kind of people who want to run your life. Good luck with that.

      • Dave67

        Once again, DaveH is excellent at avoidence… I asked him questions and he refuses to answer them, him and Jay because deep inside, they know its the people like the Koch Brothers that are more responsible for the decline of America than any “socialist” out there. When you push to destroy unions while pushing also to allow yourself unlimited amounts of money to buy elections, you are not patriot. You are a corporatist traitor to this country.

        I ask DaveH what freedoms has HE lost under Obama and he has nothing, just like Nancy but he does shoot his mouth off about all these freedoms that are being stripped away just like like with any other of the conservative phonies, when pressed about it, they have nothing…

        I do wish these idiots could go live in a country with a small central Gov like Somalia and see how they like it, or a country with real tyranny like Saudi Arabia. Then they would change their “boy who cried wolf” routine.

        Once again, you are a fraud.

    • Dave67

      DaveH, my system for whatever reason doesn’t let me keep submitting on the same thread…

      I usually do not name call unless someone says something completely crazy like there is such thing as a “free market” in the global economy.

      Or the The Koch Brother are trying to “liberate” the markets…. That one was hilarious!

      • DaveH

        Sure, Dave67, whatever you say.
        Of course we don’t have Free Markets. And I never said we did. I said we SHOULD have Free Markets. But you either have a very weak grasp of the English language, or you are just up to no good. I suspect the latter.

      Corporatism and Socialism go hand in hand; they feed on each other. Corporatism cannot exist without “Big” Federal Government. “Big” Federal government creates “Big” banks that can lend the enormous amounts of capital that feed Corporatism. Large corporations and large banks do not have to succeed under Socialism, as the “Big” Federal Governments bail them out. Large federal governments also extend all kinds of grant to large corporations, from research grants to various subsidies. Ultimately, corporatism cannot really exist without the enforcing regulations and Police State of a Socialist government. The Corporatists are the elitists, those of the inter-locking directorates of the top 150 largest corporations – major shareholders. Under Socialism, we are rapidly developing a type of feudalism operated by corporations. We have the kings and queens, nobles, and serfs back again. The serfs are all going to work for large corporations for a measly sum, while the kings and queens live in royal palaces. The Middle Class needs to wake up; the Middle Class must become sophisticated investors and gain political savvy before it is too late.

      • Dave67

        Can very well be… and it looks like people like the Koch brothers who have been in the business of destroying unions while at the same time putting millions into the fight for the Citizen’s United Decision, giving corporations the ability to give unlimited money are helping get to that place.

        The Koch’s have given 4M+ that is known to Romney.

        So with their unlimited money now able to be directed at electing representatives that will do their business interest’s bidding…. The smaller Gov comes in where? Afterall… these “patriots” are the godfathers of the Tea Party movement along with Dick Armey.

        Sounds like a furthering of the wealth gap in this country and not a reduction of Gov to me. Somehow, I don’t see corporatist like the Koch’s giving back their new found power in the Gov up willingly.

        As an American company, Koch Industries employs over 50,000 Americans. In total, the number of American jobs that indirectly supported Koch Industries is over 200,000.

        In Wisconsin, Koch Industries provides nearly 3,000 jobs directly and 11,000 jobs indirectly. More importantly, many of those jobs are good-paying union jobs. So, why all the hate, dave67?

  • Howard Roark

    Like Paul Farrar said: The book the Creature From Jeckyal Island shows that the world bankers have been behind every war clear back to the Nepolonic wars. They fund both sides and make a fortune and then make a killing assisting the winner of the war in their recovery..

  • Larry Murdock

    I haven’t heard enough “facts” to cause me to believe that the central banks start wars. I can see that wars are sustained by fiat money. End the Feb, Ron Paul’s 2009 book, claims that wars are sustained by central banks. Is evil always connected with money? Maybe so. The Holy Spirit teaches that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. But that’s not only true of central bankers! But fighting evil such as Hitler’s would naturally take a lot of money. This newsletter probably has some high values behind it…does it take money to sustain it? Would the gold standard mark the end of evil? Doesn’t the search for “truth” on the subject also demand honestly about greed under the gold standard?

    • DaveH

      Larry says — “But fighting evil such as Hitler’s would naturally take a lot of money”.
      Yes, but Stalin was evil also and the US allied with him including, as Bob said, the turnover of countries violated by one dictator to a country led by another dictator. And John Flynn’s book, “While you Slept”, a Free PDF copy of which I linked to in an earlier comment, makes a good case that the reason for that was FDR’s ambition to become world leader in the UN.

  • Amelia

    A good article, but about 50 years too late—-that is if one has been in the battle to take the Federal Reserve System away from the International and Foreign Bankers and put it in the House of Representatives where the responsibility for the coinage and value of our monetary system belongs…Many in Congress have tried to enter resolutions to put the monetary system where it legally belongs in the House of Representatives but the resoutions never got out of committe for a Floor vote.

    Time for a compete change in Congress, but that is up to each Congressional District to find true patriots who will put America first…By the people concentrating in their own district will they learn who are the infiltrators bribing candidates who then can be charged for treason and not honored with a seat in Congress….

    Being free of a monetary ‘standard’ (gold, silver) allows all this to run free. To those who say ‘there ain’t enough gold & silver in the planet to cover all the money we need’, you are forgetting that it’s the PAPER value that’s changed over the years. Gold was valued at $42 / oz. in 1973, the dollar was the ‘gold standard’ currency of the world. Went off the gold standard, price shot up to $120 very quickly. The record high for paper money price of gold was $1,895 / oz. in 2011. As the world ecomony implodes from these current policies, that record price could double before the end. http://useconomy.about.com/od/monetarypolicy/p/gold_history.htm

    We can pin this donkey on the tail all day long, How do we prevent it ? Sure we can barter, and hoard our silver, but how can a nation of people function without this system, how can we “bend their arms” to the peoples favor, besides shooting all the politicians and bankers.

    • DaveH

      We can elect people like Ron Paul to eliminate the Central Banks, and get our Government back to the original Constitution. We can create hard money that has real value in itself. We can let the banks compete honestly and fairly in Free Markets, without the protection by their Crony Politicians. If they engage in Fractional Banking, and overdo it, thus creating a run on their banks by depositors (of the previously mentioned hard money), we can let them explain their actions and seek protection in bankruptcy courts, or fail like other companies do.
      Most important — We can get educated so that we know what we are dealing with, instead of meekly going along with whatever bankers want us to believe. A good start would be to read the book I linked to in my first comment. And then read this one:

    I wouldn’t put the onus of blame on the banks. The government allowed it to happen in 1913. The bankers (and other businessmen) cannot buy something that is not for sale. It is the fact that the government put its power of force for sale right from the beginning that has caused America’s erosion of freedom. As soon as the ink dried on our Constitution, state governments began meddling in the marketplace. This should have never been allowed, but it was. The commerce clause was a weak attempt at preventing it from happening. What is needed is to get our Constitution back to the Declaration. We have a lot of work to do.

    The most fundamental cause of the rise of the bloody dictatorships of the 20th century was the anti-mind, anti-life philosophy of Immanuel Kant and his devotees. The banks (and other businesses since) were just cashing in on the government provided opportunity to feed on a dying giant which still had a lot of meat left on its bones. Yes the banksters share in the blame. But they were not the ones who were administering the fatal blow. The Philosophers were. In this vein I recommend Philosophy: Who Needs It by Ayn Rand.

  • Chester

    Funny, I see NO mention of what Hitler was doing to Europe before we got involved in that mess, and Bob, what makes YOU think we had much choice about leaving Uncle Joe in charge of Russia. I suppose you would have been just as happy to be speaking German now, and saluting every pair of black knee boots you saw coming down the street? For a fact, Hitler was planning to invade the US, and would have if we hadn’t jumped in and kept him out of Britain. All of you need to look at more than just who had the money, as even we here in the US were providing guns and ammunition to both sides in the European side of things until we lost a ship or two sending stuff to England. The Japanese were what actually got us into the role of belligerent when they did their Pearl Harbor thing.

      Dear Chester,

      Your understanding of WWII is very limited. I suggest you study some more history. Aside from the Roosevelt propaganda machine, almost no one in the U.S. believed Germany had any designs on the U.S.

      Best wishes,
      Bob

      • Dave67

        Bob,

        Hitler would have invaded us eventually. His immediate plan was to isolate the United States and take over Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia. His ego and is disdain for “impure” races like Americans would have brought him overt here sooner or later. Plus he liked our resources as well. But he did have an immediate plan to attack the US.

        WW2 was caused indirectly by Frances and England’s desire to weaken Germany after WW1 financially and militarily because they were scared of what Germany could do. Germany did not start WW1 yet they were saddled with most of the bill. The harsh economic conditions laid the groundwork for the ultra-right wing NAZI party to take hold. Its situations like this that should give us pause before we go to war and how we deal with the aftermath. “To the winner goes the spoils” leads to serious blowback.

      • DaveH

        As usual, Dave67 just fabricates facts out of thin air by saying — “But he [Hitler] did have an immediate plan to attack the US”.
        In fact, Hitler didn’t want to get the United States involved in the war. But eventually he had no choice because we were aiding Great Britain.
        For those who want to know some truth, read this section — “The Undeclared Battle of the Atlantic” (page 63), in this book:
        http://mises.org/books/pearl_harbor_greaves.pdf

        From that section — “On the other side of the Atlantic, Adolf Hitler was taking great pains to avoid a clash with the United States. On April 25 he cautioned his naval forces that “all incidents with American ships be avoided.””.

      • Dave67

        Sorry, I meant did NOT have an immediate plan

      • DavidO

        Bob, I’m sure you know this, but I believe that others may not remember IF they ever learned it in high school but the US didn’t declare war on Germany, Germany declared war on us after we declared war on Japan following its attack on Pearl Harbor. To say that Bankers have caused every war in the last hundred years because we weren’t on the gold standard is intellectually dishonest. In the first place, we were on the gold standard until 1973. Secondly, to accept that argument would be to accept those against the private ownership of firearms that guns cause violent crime.

        Did banks fund wars? Yes. Did they cause them? No more than guns (or anything else that’s ever been used as a weapon to assault another person) cause violent crime. It certainly wasn’t any bankers who fought the wars. It wasn’t bankers who murdered 6 million Jews, Gypsies, etc. in Nazi Germany, nor the100 + million more that have been murdered in many other countries in the last century under dictators like Stalin, Mao & Pol Pot to name a few. I do find it rather strange that Japanese soldiers were never tried for war crimes and genocide they carried out in Nanking, China for example. If you haven’t please read “The Rape of Nanking.”

        I do not believe that the US should be the policeman of the world, but in WWII once Germany chose to declare war on us then should USGIs have simply ignored the Nazi Death Camps? Should the Nazi soldiers, commanders and leaders have been given a pass? I don’t think so, but if you do that’s your opinion and I will fight anyone to the death to protect it.

        There was a central bank in 1861, using your logic the bankers caused the American Civil War and the Mexican War and the American Revolution before that. Why not just blame bankers on ALL wars that have ever been fought since there have been banks? It would make as much sense as saying they have caused all wars in the last hundred years.

        Right-Wing Extremism: History, Organisations, Ideology

        (Stiftung Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes / Anti-Defamation League (ed.): Brigitte Bailer-Galanda / Wolfgang Neugebauer, Incorrigibly Right. Right-Wing Extremists, “Revisionists” and Anti-Semites in Austrian Politics Today, Vienna-New York 1996, p. 5-21)

        Preliminary Remarks: What is Right-Wing Extremism?

        The Development of Right-Wing Extremism After 1945

        The Organizational Structure of Right-Wing Extremism

        The Ideology, Propaganda and Practice of Right-Wing Extremism
        Preliminary Remarks:
        What is Right-Wing Extremism?

        The following contribution is a short summary of the standard work on the Austrian extreme Right, Handbuch des österreichischen Rechtsextremismus (handbook of Austrian right-wing extremism), which was issued by our archive and published in its third, revised edition in 1994. In the following we adhere to the definition of extreme right-wing extremism – with its central elements “national community” (Volksgemeinschaft) and “integral nationalism” – postulated in that volume by university lecturer Willibald Holzer. Volksgemeinschaft is depicted therein as the fictional idea of a natural, harmonious order set in a patriarchal mould and offered as an alternative to modern industrial society. Other ideologies, or any attempts to disturb this – sometimes enforced – harmony, are rejected as being harmful and “unnatural:” conflicts between political parties, liberalism, the labour movement, moves to afford women equal rights, etc. The contrasting range of desirable structures include the State strong in home and foreign affairs, and a labour market defined as a performance-orientated community. From the idea of a community of one people and one culture (Volks- und Kulturgemeinschaft), which the Austrian extreme Right always defines as being “German,” springs a type of (German) nationalism based on “biological” and racist premises. These, in turn, spawn an exculpating and trivialising view of the history of National Socialism. Xenophobia and racism derive from such a biologically- based concept of “one people.” It follows that dissatisfaction and aggression are directed against construed “images of the enemy” (Feindbilder), which serve for attacks against scapegoats (Sündenböcke), such as minorities, foreign workers, refugees, etc.

        Right-wing extremism can be equated neither with National Socialism nor with neo-Fascism or neo-Nazism. Neo-Nazism, a legal term, is understood as the attempt to propagate, in direct defiance of the law (Verbotsgesetz), Nazi ideology or measures such as the denial, playing- down, approval or justification of Nazi mass murder, especially the Holocaust. The term “right- wing extremist” is applied here primarily to describe, on the basis of passages in books and magazines, the political-ideological profile of such organizations and how their representatives and activists act and react in the political arena.

        Bob;
        A bit off topic – but not really…Have you heard of or read James Bacque’s “Other Losses” and “Crimes and Mercies”? These are very well researched books and were qualified by the author after the Berlin Wall came down and he went into Russia to study their archives.
        I want to list the crux of what his research revealed. It was all about revenge and Churchil, Stalin and Roosevelt were all complicit. The driving force was a ‘person’ by the the name of Henry C. Morgenthau, and his “Morgenthau Plan”, that was justly rejected by Congress, but went ahead anyway.

        TOTALS OF DEATHS

        Minimum Maximum

        Expellees (1945-50) 2,100,000 6,000,000
        Prisoners (1941-50) 1,500,000 2,000,000
        Residents(1946-50) 5,700,000 5,700,000

        Totals 9,300,000 13,700,000

        That is 13,700,000 men, women, children and old people. Murdered by the ‘allies’ through starvation, exposure and lead poisoning. As revenge.The book also discusses how the ‘allies’ raped Germany of it’s industry, resources and infrastructure. Pretty much like the Versailles Treaty did after WWI, and was responsible more or less for WWII!
        The ‘banksters hands are very evident here.

I haven’t heard from him since pointing out how the former Head of Florida Republicans admitted they wanted to prevent Blacks from voting, proving the whole “voter fraud” thing was always a sham. Now, with the Wisconsin shooter shown to be a White Supremacist, he must be feeling ill. Maybe we can send him some chicken soup.

      If you’re going to use the “Pearl Harbor” thing as a history lesson as to why we went to war, maybe you should be armed with all the facts. The US without a declaration of war finance US Navy and Marine pilots to (Including Pappy Boyington of Black Sheep Squadron Fame) to fight against the Japanese and with the Chinese in direct violation of US law. The US shot down, in the 18 months prior to Pear Harbor, 114 confirmed KIA Japanese fighter planes, and bombed and straffed killing and maiming thousands of Japenese soldiers on the ground. Japan spent 18 month working desperately to avoid war with the US by not fighting back and negotiating in good faith. Only after the outrage at home was so great, that the US trained Japanese officers decided to use US tactics, that they learned from the US, against the US. The attack on Peral Harbor was designed to be exacly the same as the US Surprise attack on the Spanish Fleet in the Philippines in the previous century. The history books aren’t always so forthcoming with these facts. I know, shocking. Don’t be like these people Chester……

    The real reason for the War on Germany was not to keep the Nazi’s out of Europe, but to keep the Jewish Banks in business.
    Hitler sidelined the Jewish Banks, and created a barter trade system.
    Two weeks after Hitler was in power, the Jews declared War on Germany.
    See http://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/jdecwar.html
    The war was not about Hitler, or America or whatever.
    The war was a Jewish war for the Jew Banks.
    That is why JFK was murdered.
    JFK wanted to do away with the Jew Banks (the FED) and run a Government bank.
    It cost him his life.
    America is a British colony run by the Jews Rothschild and Rockefeller for their own personal interests.
    Rothschild controls global banking and Rockefeller global oil interests.

    • Vigilant

      “Two weeks after Hitler was in power, the Jews declared War on Germany.”

      Most interesting, since there was no soveriegn Jewish nation at the time, let alone a Jewish military force to engage in hostilities.

      • Homer

        Vigilant, You desparately need to read: The Creature From Jekyll Island. It will put it all together for you, if you can get a copy of it. I lays out the whole story from 1913 when the Fed was created on an island down in Georgia to the roller coaster ride the Banksters have been taking us on ever since.

      • Vigilant

        I’m fully aware of that meeting and what it led to. Now, what does that have to do with my comment?

      • Jimmy The Greek

        Google it Vigilant , you well see it on the front page of the London times , there is to much to put it here , Jews declare war on germany is all you have to type in and read .

      • Vigilant

        Google it Jimmy. You might want to check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_boycott_of_Jewish_businesses

        The declaration of war to which you refer was a figurative use of speech in a newspaper headline. In reality, it was a declaration of boycott, not a declaration of war.

        “Antisemitism in Germany grew increasingly respectable after the first world war and was most prevalent in the universities. By 1921, the German student union, the Deutschen Hochschulring, barred Jews from membership. Since the bar was racial, it included Jews who had converted to Christianity. The bar was challenged by the government leading to a referendum in which 76% of students voted for the exclusion.

        At the same time, Nazi newspapers began agitating for a boycott of Jewish businesses and anti-Jewish boycotts became a regular feature of 1920′s regional German politics with right-wing German parties becoming closed to Jews.

        From 1931-2 SA “brownshirt” thugs physically prevented customers from entering Jewish shops, windows were systematically smashed and Jewish shop owners threatened. In Christmas 1932, the central office of the Nazi party organized a nation-wide boycott. In addition German businesses, particularly large organizations like banks, insurance companies, and industrial firms such as Siemens, increasingly refused to employ Jews. Many hotels, restaurants and cafes barred Jews from entering and the resort island of Borkum banned Jews anywhere on the island. Such behaviour was common in pre-war Europe; however in Germany it reached new extremes.”

        The economic boycott against Germany was called in 1933. The brutality of the brownshirts and economic boycott of Jewish businesses occurred BEFORE the Jewish boycott. You have a problem with dates?

        EVEN IF IT WERE TRULY A “DECLARATION OF WAR,” DO YOU THINK THE MASS EXTERMINATION OF JEWS BY THE MILLIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED IN RESPONSE TO SUCH A TOOTHLESS DECLARATION?

        I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: you apologists for Naziism and deniers of the Holocaust are mentally ill.

      • Vigilant

        From http://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/jdecwar.html :

        “The March 24, 1933 issue of The Daily Express of London (shown above) described how Jewish leaders, in combination with powerful international Jewish financial interests, had launched a boycott of Germany for the express purpose of crippling her already precarious economy in the hope of bringing down the new Hitler regime. It was only then that Germany struck back in response. Thus, if truth be told, it was the worldwide Jewish leadership – not the Third Reich – that effectively fired the first shot.”

        Absolutely ridiculous proaganda. It’s been shown above already that Hitler’s brownshirts had been terrorizing Jews for at least two years before the delaration of boycott.

        The only lamentable thing about the boycott was that it did not succeed in “bringing down the new Hitler regime.” It’s too bad that it didn’t.

      • Jimmy The Greek

        Yes that happened ! After the jews called for a world wide boycott of German Goods , so get it right do tell only one side of the story !

      • Jimmy The Greek

        Vigilant it is kind of funny my info cones from the same place yours came from , however you just left out the part about the jews starting the crap first . How about reading down a little more to the part that tells about the deal the zionist made with hitler to only let the german jews take there wealth only if they moved to palestine . If you read all of it you well see what snakes the zionist are they were buddies with hitler until 1939 then turned on the Germans and went to licking the boots of the british .

      • Jeff

        Jimmy:

        Cut the crap! If George Wallace had been elected President in 1968, would the Blacks be faulted for insisting on boycotts given the President was an avowed racist? Would Wallace in any manner be justified in rounding up all Black people and putting them in concentration camps? Your post is the most idiotic justification for Nazism I’ve ever seen.

      • Jimmy The Greek

People who make these assertions about “Jew banks” forget that Hitler, the Grand Mufti and America were funded by the Zionist’s who also had ties with the Vatican.

      Your somewhat strident diatribe against Jews – I’m not calling you an anti-Semite – has several facts in it. The ‘Jewish banking conspiracy’ is merely a diversionary tactic to take the heat off of who really runs the world – just like the so-call ‘anti-Semitic hoax’ that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion’ has been mislabeled.. Yeah there are Jews involved but this conspiracy is about the ancient bloodlines that have ruled this planet and it’s power centers for a long time. They do it by controling the money AND the money system. To paraphrase that Rothschild bankster. ‘I don’t care what the laws are, give me the power to control the money and I’ll control the world’!!!

  • Bill Ritter

    The term Banksters is really crappy leftist propaganda and I am surprised by a conservative attacking all Banks (although he eventually qualifies it as being the central banks/Fed). I served for 21 years in the AF, banks don’t start wars and they provide money to all types of ventures. They borrow money from the Fed and eventually have to pay it back, they also borrow money from you if you deposit nmoney and you expect it to be kept secure and in more normal times earn profit through the interest. Tying this to war is nonsense. Lots of wars have happened prior to central banks or the Fed. Did we enter WWII because of banks, how about WWI? Our recent banking fiasco was caused by the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act). It was passed in 1975 but rewritten by the Clinton Admin adding quotas, which forced banks to do subprime loans to service the poor (ever heard of a NINJA loan), which undermined the whole banking system. When the Clinton Admin sued Bank of America for not doing enough subprime loans – Cuomo admitted to a reporter that it would undermine the safety and security of the banking system, but it would be OK because it would be spread around. It took 10 years till the banks were saturated with crappy mortgages that they were forced to make. We all paid in the end. Bill in Ohio

        Absolute poppycock!

        The UK took over 60 years to repay their wartime loans. I’d say that a war that they knew would cost billions to the US would have been a piss-poor decision if it were prosecuted just to get a speedy repayment of loans.

        It’s like saying we went to war in Iraq just to enrich the oil magnates. We spent TRILLIONS on that war, and postwar oil production there is STILL below the Iran-Iraq war levels.

        “Do Banksters Kill Millions Of People?” Mr. Livingson, with all due respect, your headline is off the mark. The answer is “no, they do not.”

        Money doesn’t kill people, people kill people. It is the politicians and miltary strategists who make the decisions on prosecuting wars. Money simply greases the skids, facilitating the political and military decisions already made.

        I’m reminded of W.C. Fields, who had a blind and unrelenting hatred of banks. The categorical condemnation of banks fails to recognize that it was through these necessary evils that commerce and manufacturing were built in the world. While Alexander Hamilton’s dream has been bent all out of shape by the pressures of war and social spending in this country, you can’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. Blaming Hamilton is like the incessant “blame Bush” mantra of the left, which seeks to ascribe sole fault to a president for which his successor wildly accelerated his failed policies. It doesn’t wash.

        There are a number of bumper stickers out there that should be recalled, if we are to believe your assertion. I’m speaking of “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” Banksters provide money as a means to an end. Gun shop owners provide weapons as a means to an end. The gun shop owners did not kill those people in Aurora, CO, James Holmes did. And banksters did not kill millions of people. Evil dictators and the good men who fought them killed millions of people.

    • DaveH

      Bill says — “Did we enter WWII because of banks, how about WWI?”.
      Maybe, Maybe not. But neither of those wars could have been financed without the easy credit of the Federal Reserve. Thus, the Leaders, whether they liked or not (most likely not), would not have been able to enter those wars unless they convinced the Mainstream Americans to pony up the costs. Sure, the Mainstream Americans were on the hook for the bill, but most were ignorant of that fact, and it’s always easier to buy things we can’t really afford with borrowed money.

    • LIBOR

      The CRA was a diversionary tactic to make us think it was the sole cause of the 2008 banking crisis, the true cause of the 2008 too big too fail extortion was the deregulation from Clinton at the end of his treasonous presidency, Rubin removed the safeguards put in place after the first great depression, which were the Sherman Anti Trust act and The Glass Steagall act. The present LIBOR scandal is going to be the clear and present danger threatening the whole central banking ponzi scheme, hang on folks it’s going to be a bumpy ride in the next couple of months or years. Oh and by the way the bank that financed Hitler was owned and operated by Prescott Bush, he was the grandfather of George dubiya Bush. The Bank for the banks the Bank of international settlements was originally a Nazi run Rothschild backed institution, and one more thing, the catholic church is monetarily the largest single institution on the planet and the Rothschild dynasty stores it’s massive stockpile of gold in the labyrinth of underground catacombs where infant skeletal remains can be found from the nuns that killed their babies in shame, a suitable companion I think for all the blood money the Rothschilds have accumulated over the centuries. By the way most of the military industries and Rothschild/Rockefeller criminal banking Mafioso that own and run this country are located within a 60 mile radius of D.C.

        The Glass-Steagall Act was merely the result of two powerful politically connected banking groups, the Rockefellers and the Morgans, duking it out using the Government as their bully boys. The Morgans lost. Read the section “BANKING AND FINANCIAL LEGISLATION:

      Read your history. Start with William of Orange. The fractional reserve crowd even back then facilited the monachs and emporers lust for war and power. These ‘banksters’ made it possible for the already rich and powerful to have more and bigger wars. Increased geo-political destabilization, higher body counts. Look at Precott Bush’s involvement with the central bank crowd before, during and after WWII. Look at the Cecil Rhodes connection to Fabian Socialism and the ‘people’ who forced the Federal Reserve on the world. It’s all there to see if you but open your eyes!

        The Rothschild s have been pitting one side against the other for centuries, they have motive and much to gain. This tactic has been used tried and true for thousands of years why should we be surprised? These inbred, super rich, diabolical individuals think differently than the rest of us, they are truly evil geniuses that must be exposed for whom they really are a parasite and cancer to the host the human race.

    Thank you Bob,
    People like G. Edward Griffin and Henry Makow have been trying to get this same truth out for years but most people would just rather remain ignorant.
    It was the scribes, Pharisees, and MONEY CHANGERS of the temple who conspired to murder the Savior of mankind, Jesus the Christ, the son of God. They are the only ones that Jesus ever got really angry with. They only succeeded temporarily, and God is soon going to judge them permanently.

      Paul I think you leave someone out in your list of those who killed Jesus. That Person is Jesus, himself. The Bible (sorry to mention a banned Book) says that Jesus, against the wishes of his followers (Matthew 16;21 and others) went to Jerusalem knowing that He would be killed.

      • Joe Myrick

        So did the Apostle Paul, when he appealed to Cesear. Jesus taught; “greater love hath no man than he who lay down his life for his friends”. This only makes sense to those who have acquired the understanding of what they accomplished.

    Un-backed paper money is the modern equivalent of the old game of kings: clipping the coin of the realm, only easier and slicker as we have NO circulating coins with which to compare value. For a thorough discussion of “fractional reserve banking” google Dr Stu Crane and listen to some of his talks on the subject..informative and easy to comprehend style!!

      Why is it that the Liberals so vehemently oppose religion? Is it the Commandment “Thou Shalt not Steal”, that spurs their animosity? Or, is it just the preaching of morality in general by religions?

      • Dave67

        Liberals aren’t opposed to religion, we are opposed to state sanctioned religion (see Saudi Arabia)

        I wish conservatives could understand the difference but then that would require critical thought.

      • DaveH

        No, Liberals, especially the hard-core Progressives oppose religion. Why else would they so fanatically attack prayer in school? And if you’re going to use the same old separation of state nonsense, show me where in the Constitution that is stated.

      • Dave67

        DaveH,

        Once again, you are lying. Progressives have no issue with you believing in any religion you wish. The issue becomes when the state gets involved with religion, as history has proven over and over again, nothing good EVER comes from it.

        Christians can’t even get their story straight over which version of Christianity is the right one. There are over 50M Catholics, 15M Mormons and so on… There are also 52M Atheists (which I do not understand with how something that you cannot prove one way or the other a person can be atheist)

        Keep religion where it belongs, in the home, in the church, temple etc…

        Keep it out of Gov.

        The founding fathers were pretty clear they did not want a state sponsored religion.

        And don’t give me this morality BS about the country has gone down because of the 10 commandments being off schools either. Because there was some nasty immoral crap going on in this country since its beginning. Some of the morally challenged even used the bible to justify the slaughter of the indigenous people this land and slavery.

      • DaveH

        No Dave67, YOU are lying (as usual).
        What has the state got to do with prayer in schools?
        Where in the Constitution does it say there can’t be prayer in schools? The First Amendment does say — “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Get it? “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”?
        I am an atheist, and I know you’re full of it, Dave67.
        Not only full of it, but evil.

      • DaveH

        Once again, Dave67 fabricates fact to support his claims.
        Dave67 says — “There are also 52M Atheists”.
        52 million atheists? And you got that info where, lying Liberal?

      • DaveH

        Here is a typical illogical statement from the ignorant but outspoken Dave67 — “I do not understand with how something that you cannot prove one way or the other a person can be atheist”.
        Duh, the burden of proof is on the person who claims that something exists that we can not see, hear, touch, smell, or taste. Are you really that ignorant, Dave67?

      • Dave67

        I mis-spoke… 50 Million secularists

        I can at least admit when I mis-speak… I doubt if you have every been wrong in your life.

      • DaveH

        Dave67,
        I said — “Progressives oppose religion. Why else would they so fanatically attack prayer in school?”.
        You said I was lying.
        So, perhaps you could enlighten us, and tell us who it is that is fanatically attacking prayer in school? The Conservatives? The NeoConservatives?

      • Dave67

        DaveH says

        “Why is it that the Liberals so vehemently oppose religion?”

        care to revise your BS statement?

        First we oppose religion, when I tell you that you are lying and why…

        Then you say why we oppose school prayer…. as if that is the same thing as we oppose religion…

        Your nonsense has been exposed again as just that… nonsense…

        I do not send my children to be endoctrinated in someone else’s religion. Teaching religion or not is MY decision not the public schools.

        Careful DaveH, your religious dogma slip is starting to show

        Conservatives crave the freedom to impose their religion and their guns on the rest of us. But God forbid they should have to countenance 2 gay guys getting married even though they never have to witness what they do. Freedom is a funny concept to conservatives. It seems to apply more to big business than to individuals.

        Jeff says, ” Freedom is a funny concept to conservatives. It seems to apply more to big business than to individuals.”

        It would seem, so is “Conservationism” , to a right winger, conservatism seems to be seen as something that you apply to “others” for ones own sake.

      • DaveH

        You have failed to justify your accusation of my lying, Dave67. But you will keep trying, won’t you? It is a typical Liberal/Progressive manipulative technique to accuse their accuser of the same defects as they have been exposed to have by their accusers. But the problem is that you need to convince the impartial readers that you are correct in your rebound accusations. Good luck with that.
        I’ve caught you in at least 4 solid lies, Dave67, two of which you claimed were mistaken comments on your part. Sure. The reality is that you were pinned down, so you took the only way out.
        You have no credibility on this board, Dave67. You are obviously just here to disrupt discussions of Freedom, and will use whatever underhanded techniques available in an attempt to achieve your goal. But unlike real life, where your victims have no proof of your verbal abuse, here your statements have longevity and can come back to haunt you.
        Pay attention, Folks, because these are the people who want to run your life.

        You have no idea what you’re talking about, Jeff. Conservatives believe in Constitutional law as established by our Founders. You are talking about NeoConservatives who are really just right-wing Liberals/Progressives who advocate Big Government. The Political Entrepreneurs love you guys. They play both sides, left and right, for the fools they are, while they secretly pick your pockets and live the high life.
        True Conservatives extend Freedom to all people — including Business Owners (the Market Entrepreneurs, not the Political Entrepreneurs).
        As long as the Political Entrepreneurs can keep you fools arguing with each other, they will keep winning as their protective Big Government just keeps growing.
        And nobody is “imposing” their guns on you. We just want to protect ourselves. If you want to be helpless, feel free. Just butt out of our decisions.

      • Jeff

        Excuse me. When you buy an assault rifle, then sell it at a gun show (I know the current shooter didn’t buy at a gun show.) to some wacko who uses it to mow down a bunch of people, it’s being imposed on all of us. When your candidate says it (the gun problem) is a problem for individuals, not government, the gun is being imposed on all of us. What are we supposed to do individually – wear bulletproof vests everywhere? Hire private security to go to the movies? All so some gun nut can use military weapons to hunt birds? Now tell us how your assault weapon is going to protect you from the Government or how your gun will make the difference the next time there’s a deranged, heavily-armed shooter out there.

        I don’t care how you interpret the 2nd amendment. But it makes little sense if it means anybody can walk the streets with the kinds of weapons soldiers are using in Afghanistan.

      • truesoy

        DaveH,

        Before there was a Bible, and before there was religion, stealing was not acceptable. Have you ever thought that probably the “you shall not steal’ was written into the Bible because it was not an acceptable behaviour, rather than the other way around?
        It is so preposterous at best, and/or so idiotic at worse for you to suggest that we are a rligion nation because of any of the commandments, and thus what you are really saying is that if not for religion to tell you what’s wrong or right, you wouldn’t know.
        UHHHH, maybe it didn’t work quite that way for th child molesters in the catholic priesthood. Any ideas why?

I didn’t see all this coming but now I’m awake and aware. they have infiltrated our unions, schools and government. We must be very careful now. Romney must be elected in order to get rid of obama.

      • Vlad

        Obama good choice? Obama who signed NDAA? Would you mind and do little research on Ron Paul:
        First of all if you go to google ad words / keyword tool to check how much is Ron Paul searched online you will get the number 3.350.000 what is twice as much as Obama got (1.830.000). So if you know the fact that anybody in the world know who is Obama and can easy googled him and if you know that Ron Paul is worldwide invisible by media, there is the question how is that possible. There is the question why mainstream media hide that info from the public and represent Ron Paul as unelectable, old, funny, insane, dangerous, isolationist.
        The answer is: he want to audit the Federal Reserve and expose the true to the people of America and World. He is constantly attacked/blocked by media from that simple reason, media don’t want people to be informed about the fact that they are lied about all important worldwide issues, from politics, monetary policy, global worming to the truth behind wars which killed millions of innocent people around the World.
        Here is good way to be well informed about Ron Paul and his issues:
        Dailypaul.com
        Reality check
        Freedom watch (canceled)

      • noz cavan

        Obama sign into law, the NDAA, HR 347, NDRP. G.BUSH JR SIGN PATRIOT ACT. THE CRAZY SUPREME ROBERTS COURT, VOTED OK, TO STRIP AND SEARCH- ANY TIME, ANYWHERE AND FOR ANYTHING. All these insane laws are to suspend,the constitution, bill of Rights and Declaration of Independance. ” MARTIAL LAW ” will rule the country because of Wall Street and Banks claim they are too big to fail. that cause the economy to fail, 99% are being punished from the bail outs to wall Street and Banks.

      • truesoy

        Viad;

        To audit the Federal Reserve maybe it is not such a bad idea, yet, Ron Pul’s ideas by the most part are over the edge, though I agree with him that we have too many military bases overseas.
        As far as the NDAA is concern it only extends and/or builds on the Patriot Act. This baby was hatched by the Bush administration, and sadly extended by the Obama administration .
        Had Obama not done it, he would have been branded weak on defense by the republicans as they were already accusing him of not being an american, and that he was an illegal alien from Kenya, and that he was a secret muslim than wanted to destroy our country, and now they add that he is a communist. But a ‘God believing communist?’ And lets not forget the one going around too, that Obama is preparing to declare ‘martial law’ if he was to lose the election and to that effect FEMA is building hundreds of ‘secret concentration camps to put us in it. Well I guess they are not so secret anymore, right?. Go figure; but there are people outthere who are not too bright and would believe anything.
        There is a certain element of the electorate and from within the political establishment (mainly republican) that don’t like him and they intend to use him as a ‘xmas tree’ for they will hang on him whatever they can because they know somebody out there will believe it.
        The other point I want to make is that regardless of anything you might think, the ‘patriot act’ and anything to do with it, no president would have abolished it, not even Ron Paul. What you give to the government, it’s the government’s to keep; although I still hope that if elected to a second term, Obama will not extend it. He should know better, he was a constitutional law professor.
        On the other hand, if Romney was to be elected, the role and purpose of government will become the tool of the few; and the Patriot Act will continue to grow, and so will be the size of government, and the transfer of wealth to overseas entities will grow beyond our imagination..
        Ps.- regardless of the propaganda to the contrary, Obama has shrunk the size of the Federal Government workforce and reduced many unnecessary military expenditures, even in the face of hardcore republican opposition.
        Again I repeat, Obama isthe best choice.

        Sincerely,
        Truesoy

      • Vlad

        Truesoy, it is amazing how so many people try to justified Obama on his failing policy like as it is not his mistake, when he become president the country was already in wars and economic crises, he wants but he can’t make congress and senate to listen to him, his hands are locked and so on… His hands are locked but his fingers are free to sign the extension of Patriot Act – NDAA for 2012. His hands are locked but he still supported undermining personal liberty with NDAA, new Tree pass bill, restriction of free Internet, gun control too. He may publicly opposing gun control bill but he will sign it the same as he publicly opposed NDAA but he signed it. He may publicly opposing everything what can bring his reputation in question but he will sign all it when the paper is ready on his desk, he will because he is on the banksters side, he is paid from them, he works for them, he is part of the corrupt system, he is the evil, he is not the best choice but better than other as you wrote. He is the same as others, just much smarter what make him more dangerous actually. If he is not all that I just wrote he will use his power and rights as President and block unconstitutional bills, he will fight the congress and the senate on the way that people will stand behind him and fight together until they win and congress/senate obey to the people/Obama. He will fight the corruption, he will expose the lies by mainstream media, further, he will expose and fight (as he as president supposed to do and should do) ongoing vote/delegate fraud in GOP race for President against Ron Paul and protect him and right of the people who supported Ron Paul voting for him and becoming delegates. But he doesn’t do anything of that, instead of supporting the people rights he support those who are “too big to fail” , Ron Paul is the biggest treat to Obama itself because the Federal Reserve System Ron Paul is fighting and Obama are on the same side. Further more Democrats and Republicans the same as Romney and Obama are just two sides of the same coin, the whole system is rigged and people fooled by the banksters elite. One of the few fighting for real changes is Ron Paul. He is the champion of the freedom and constitution itself. Even been constantly marginalized, blocked and fight by the system (politicians, government. media, banks, …) his message of liberty and exposing the corruption and the system based on lies reached many people and it is rising, rLOVEution is groving and will not be stopped. This is why Obama didn’t protect people being cheated by GOP, this is why you have NDAA, efforts to restrict the Internet, new tree pass bill, gun control bill in progress , FEMA camps and so on, the system is preparing for violence on the street, better to say people revolt, better to say the ongoing biggest revolution World will see in the modern history. And Ron Paul will be recognized as the biggest revolutionist of our time, it will be Ron Paul revolution with or without him, it will be revolution against the whole cheated system with Federal Reserve System at the top of it and elite hidden behind its walls.
        Truesoy, you wrote ” Ron Pul’s ideas by the most part are over the edge, though I agree with him that we have too many military bases overseas.”, sorry but it is unacknowledged writing, it is not about issues on education system or medical care or social care, it is about fight for freedom and liberty, fight for people rights supposed to be protected by constitution, fight against media’s lies and manipulation, fight against corrupted system and government controlled by special interest of people in power behind the FED. Anyway, which Ron Paul’s ideas are over the edge? Is the constitution over the edge? Is any Ron Paul ides not strongly and strictly based in constitution itself? Do you know why NDAA for 2012, new Tree pass bill, gun control, Obama care and so on are unconstitutional, I mean how those bills break constitution and undermine personal liberty? If no you should study constitution and its bill of rights. It is so simple written!

      • truesoy

        Viad;

        Please, het ahold of yourself; there are no FEMA camps to put the citizens s/oppsition to government in it, besides why would the government need FEMACamps when it has enough military bases that could do the same. Now do you see the stupidity of that argument. It is an insult to your intelligence to believe the ones feeding you that.
        Obama/Government is not coming for your guns, either.
        And yes, although I still support Obama’s reelection, I too was disappointed at him for ce to extending the Patriot Act. He was a constitutional law professor and therefore he should have known better, but specially because he was opposed to it prior to being elected president.
        Ps.- one more thing about FEMA Camps. Just think, not only how much money it would take to set them up, but also think about the cost for the up keep/mantaining vacant sites, and how would they get this money if not from Congress? To do this in secret as you guys believe, Congress (both houses) would have to be in the loop.
        And one more thing. If this is so secretive, how do guys know?
        Please, use common sense.

        Sincerely,
        Truesoy

      • Doug

        Truesoy, I have to put you in the category of the willfully ignorant. Do some research on FEMA camps and you will find there are several regional camps, with the barbed wire facing in, that is to keep the occupants (I think that means prisoners) inside. Jesse Ventura did some work on this expose’. It makes no difference what party you affiliate yourself with, both are complicit in this.
        As for Barack being a constitutional law professor: Just because he taught (loose term, here) the constitution, doesn’t mean he believes in it. How many socialists / communists do you think BELIEVE in our constitution?
        Trust and obey the government. They have proven themselves. Haven’t they?

        Well, we use the internet. this is why US government is constantly trying to censor the internet.
        About FEMA camps, Ron Paul itself explained that ” THEY’RE SETTING UP THE STAGE FOR VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT”
        Here is the youtube link, check it itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4_qw3pAtX8
        How can we trust him?
        Well the 3/4 of the Congress just expressed their trust in Ron Paul when they a few days ago passed Ron Paul’s historical bill he was working on for more decades: “Audit the FED bill”.
        He is also running for Presidency in GOP race and he is 12 therms Congressmen from Texas. He can’t speak (expletive deleted) just like that

    It is hard to reconcile the fact that the sacrifices made by our fathers and grandfathers who participated in the world wars was based on a lie.

Blaming the Rothschilds for U.S. foreign policy may get some takers among paleoconservatives, but the reality is far more complex.

      I also take issue with your equating the guilt of the 2 sides in WWII. It’s interesting the extent to which you right wingers always want to engage in “moral equivalence” exercises when it comes to the Nazis, but you are not so generous with respect to the Soviet Union or the North Viet Namese during that war. Did the allies commit atrocities in WWII? Of course. The Dresden bombing, the firebombing of Berlin and Tokyo, and the dropping of the atomic bombs are examples of at least questionable actions taken. But to equate Allied actions with those of the Axis Powers is silly. You can certainly do that with respect to WWI, but not WWII. The Allied Powers were engaged in a life and death struggle with pure evil bent on world domination and actually quite capable of pulling it off (unlike every tinpot tyrant we’ve faced since, all billed as “The Next Hitler”).

      Was there a degree of revenge involved in bombing the civilian populations of Germany and Japan? Yes, clearly. But, in the case of the British, can you blame them after the V-2 attacks on London? Yes, Dresden was an atrocity, but you can’t look at it out of its context within history’s most brutal and destructive conflict.

      Our foreign policy ever since WWI has been a succession of fights against “new Hitlers,” none of whom was really a threat to us. The Cold War was essentially an economic struggle for hegemony, but our “hot” wars beginning with Viet Nam have been attempts to impose “discipline” on tiny countries unwilling to follow our dictates. How much of this is driven by the munitions industry and military contractors? I suspect a lot more than we are permitted to know. Are the banks guilty? Probably, but no more than DuPont, Halliburton, etc., etc.

        this social libertarian who is certain he is not a racist likes the article, does not see where you pull the race card from? Are you sure you are not like the p.c. left? just projecting? just praying for an excuse to pull that tired old debate stoper? quit throwing old antiquated “code word” into everything! that was then…get with now I love arabs, I love Jews, I have a problem with people who don’t have clues trying to tell others what they think and why they do. Ask dont presume, don’t smear with your ghosts!

        No surprise that you revert to yr pro-communist/socialist ways bashing everything you deem “right-wing” when in fact, its just common sense. Or in yr case, not so common. Why not read the Daily GooseStepper or whatever it is ignorant zealots like you are supposed to be reading? Mein Kampf maybe?

      • Jeff

        Butch:

        I attempted to analyze the article as best I could given what we know from history. As for your comments, I don’t speak gibberish. I did not detect an intelligible word or thought in your post. Go talk to Jimmy the Greek.

      • Jeff

        Walt:

        I may be overly sensitive, but I don’t think so. When I see right-wingers levelling reckless charges about bankers and the Rothschilds, I read antisemitism. Right wing thought in this country has a long history of antisemitic, paranoid thought and when I detect it, I point it out. I certainly am not defending the banks, but I recognize the school of thought from which the article springs.

      There’ll be no understanding intil we we understand, focus, and prosecute with simple annuity logic. We must understand how much should be there without inflation or justification of the pilfering process! Following is article I wrote recently, that touches on the subject of raw investment, 5%ROI, & 5% inflation.

      Granny will be sleeping under the bus, not in a culvert. Fox news (6-23-12) gathered their wizards to help bereaved citizens accept the death of their pensions! One said private pensions were $135 billion underfunded. The public sector is $1 trillion unfunded. They intentionally ignored Social Security! Zero Fed & bank interest rates were mentioned, but “nothing” doesn’t matter!

      Excessively funded “unfunded plans”, begs criminal investigation into underlying government structures that punish productive investment returns and rewards unaccountable consumption! Government officials deliberately devalue currency (inflation) to devalue loan repayment obligations. They allow themselves and global banks free use of the treasury. They allow executive and regulatory agencies to throw that money to the winds like trees shedding leaves in the fall! The wizards say, end citizen “entitlements” or face catastrophe! There is absolutely no shame, come-uppance, or penalty for looting public funds and misleading the public to cover up an Armageddon of criminal activity!

      Zero interest rates are dictatorial trademarks of Muslim Shari law and Marxism, wherein government bureaucracies make economic decisions and citizens obey or do without! Free capitalism rewards individual investment in productive economic infrastructure, wherein output is determined by citizens, not bureaucrats! Zero interest means the spoils of your thrift and labor, as well as your soul, belongs to government! Wanton deception, endless corruption of public money and wealth, killing babies, dividing races and people against one another, defying laws, giving citizen benefits to alien invaders, etc., represents government’s war against individual freedom under God, country, and Constitution!

      If one lays three annuities side by side, one earning 0%, another 5%, and another losing 5% to inflation you can see the US financial catastrophe at hand. Call it “whatever”, the message is identical! If $50,000 was an average wage, and you saved $637.50/mo. (15.3%) over 552 months (age 18 to 65) and interest earned is zero, you would have $351,900 on your 65th birthday, (without inflation)! If it earned 5% compounded monthly you would have $1,365,775 cash on your 65th birthday! If government creates 5% inflation with zero interest, the return is 5% negative, and your $351,900 investment shrinks to $137,734 at age 65.

      With 5% interest, your investment increases by $1,03,875. It’s enough for $11,924/mo. for 13 years (3 times salary…6+ times SSI-MED benefits) or $5,691/mo. perpetual interest to descendants FOREVER! Without interest you might get ½ pay ($2,256/mo) for 13 years. With 5% inflation and zero interest you lose $214,166 of your investment, and the $137,734 remainder only buys $625/mo. for 13years (15% of salary)…, that’s SSI & almost every other pension plan TODAY!

      Our politicians understand the math and choice between $1.4 million at retirement in a free society vs. a dying broke communist! Politicians prefer “rose gardens”, trillion dollar deficits, quietly looting a half trillion from the treasury to buy illegal alien votes, and unlimited “gimmies” (windmills, palm dusting, toots, and carbon dioxide)! We need new senators, representatives, and a president!!

        You logic concerns me as a reader. Your article sounds more like propoganda that fact.
        I will remove this stage from my sight.

      • Thomas B

        What you say is probably true, a depressing group of ideas and facts about our predicament. As hopeless as it seems for us, remember it has always been this way throughout time where the evil ones control everything from behind the scenes and abuse and kill others thoughtlessly. But I believe without doubt that those who have faith in God
        will survive and be rewarded. The whole point of it is who is with God and who is not? Life on earth is the test, the gauntlet we must survive. The rich evil manipulators who cause the good people such grief are trash who are perpetually miserable and have no spirit of God. Their existence is pointless.

      • saintpio1

        I don’t have time to read all the articles. Sure the bankers kill lots of people. They are owned by the MASONS The Masons live in the Waldorf Astoria, are the richest people on earth and have planned all the leaders, wars, depressions etc.. They are the highest in the Masons and the lower degree men have no idea what is going on at the top.

      • don macd…

        Annuity results are based on mathematical fact, not opinion or probability… Bottom line it’s as simple as a fixed payment into a saving plan, number of payments, and the interest rate calculated to reach a future value at the end of the period. The monthly or annual pay-out requires the principle, interest rate, and number of payments. The exact calculations are very complex, but extremely easy to use with a simple computer!

        Identifying the problem requires removing the variables to “see what it should be”! For example, if inflation is 5%, 5% interest rates yield zero ROI (return on investment) and 0% interest rates yield negative 5% ROI (today’s government game!)! Further, any “interest income” is taxed by government to rub salt into your wounds! Dollar devaluation is a factor of inflation. If you go to the trouble of factoring the many different annual rates back to 1965, up to 2011 you’ll find dollar devaluation averaged something a bit less than 5%, enough to wipe out SSI, especially considering the fact that benefit payments are factored up for inflation, while investments evaporate with devaluation!

        We’re not all mathematicians, and the thieves know it! We believe – so do they! The 1965 CPI Index of 31.5 divided by the 224.91 in 2011 says the 1965 dollar is worth 13 cents and 224.91/31.5 says it takes $7.14 to buy what a dollar bought in 1965! If you had invested that dollar @ (5% very roughly) back then, you would be taxed on $6.14 “phony profit”! Today we don’t know what CPI numbers are because “government” is cooking the BLS/CPI numbers!

        Look at it this way, if $50K were an average wage, with SSI (15.3%) and 5% net ROI, the $11,924/mo benefit is six times greater $2,000… which is certainly well over anything SSIMED pays! POINT- when any politician tells you it takes 2 worker tax contributions to pay one benefit instead of 12 benefits (2×6=12!), you’re being lied to… whether by ignorance or malice… the result is the same! The money is GONE! The thieves are here! Yes, it’s catastrophic… so was WWII! Recover whatever money we can, and have another “war crimes tribunal” & rebuild this country! SSI-MED rates of 3% would be more than enough if the value of capital savings was restored and we chop off the fingers in the pot!

      • Sarah R.

        There is little point in hashing funded and unfunded pensions or SS. The NWO has been controlling money since 1950. They have infiltrated our schools, unions, our government. They have created the total chaos around the world. Putin in Russia and China go on record as saying that they will not let Bilderberg tell them what to do. There is no help from our government Repubs or Dems. We’re on our own folks and we’d better damn well do a good job. Romney is our only answer in order to get rid of Obama. He belongs to the NWO as well. We must elect Romney and then watch him very closely.

        oh puleeze spare me such foolish gibberish. The concept of interest was despized by the middle ages catholic church too. So are you saying that entity was commie sharia too? are you saying that just because two bad groups are on the right side then you prefer the wrong side? What does interest have to do with main street and surplus cows (capital-ism is derived from this concept) ? Of course to true believers like yourself, reflexive a-moral pro “capitalism” useful idiots…..there can be no doubts. That is the bottom line to me. For you what is the bottom line? what except your share at the expense of others, the expense of we the people for one?

      • Duster

        The single critical fact that has the entire planet in this morass is that there is no single coherent theory of the origins of value and of money. That is because they are different in nature and in origin. Money is a score-keeping device that ideally marks value that you or I have created.

        Creation of value implies work in the classsical sense you learn in a physics class: the expenditure of energy in the modifying of a material object or location of a physical mass. That phase of what we describe as economy when applied to just us humans is really an extention of normal, biological ecology. That is in fact all ecology is, the trace of energy through biological systems from capture by green plants through herbivores and carnivores to its eventual reradiation into space.

        Money is theoretically a means introducing temporal delay into this work-reward loop. In fact, it physically doesn’t and can’t. What it marks in theory originally was that work “had” been done for which reward was required. In more complex societies with specialized professions, reward can be very indirect. You cannot eat a tree you cut down, a cabinet maker may purchase would from a saw mill that processed would you cut, a farmer may ultimately produce the food or fiber or that you actually cut the tree down in order to earn the money you could use to purcahse the food or fiber in the foorm of clothes you needed, and which was the immediate cause of your work.

        At present money comes from debt. It’s source, the fractional reserve system employed by banks for loans. A bank creates fiat money every time it writes a loan. Contrary to the naieve assumptions most of us made after high school civics, that banks loaned money from our savings to people who needed it, most money lent is not linked to any existing “value.” That sole “work” that went into creating it was composed of the effort to determine your credit worthiness and to write the check. There was NO real value involved. For that, we frequently promise to work for as long as 30 years in order to create that value that made the token money in the loan “real.”

        The fact is that every time a road or highway is built or maintained, mail delivered, or a fire fought, value is created or maintained. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that the agency building the road should need to go to a bank for a loan. The bleating complaint about money being printed (or coined) by the government is just a bank complaining about the citizens, as the government, making money over which the bank has no means of immediate profit. What we have at present is not capitalism. I don not think is a true name for it. What we should really be demanding is a return to genuine capitalism, where real value is what is negotiated and where no bank is permitted the privilege of printing money unbacked by existing value.

        really you think a new neo con president is not going to spend another 6 trillion dollars on more wars in the middle east your a fool if you think it wont happen. SO what is 6 trillion spent on wars plus the cost of no oversight on wall street gonna do

      • Farleyagain

        I agree with Duster. The problem is that as the central banks print money they devalue our money which is based on the real value of our work and products. For boomers, it’s the end of the world since there is no more work to be had and now the pot of savings is becoming worthless.

      • don macd…

        We’re not following the money trail! If 150 million (½ of 300 million) people were fully funded @ $1 million each, the SSIMED fund would be $150 trillion. Governments claim that it takes 2 workers SSIMED contributions to pay one fractional benefit ($1,000 – $1,500/mo?) means no one is adding money to a savings fund. Borrowing $1++ Trillion/yr unpayable debt to pay benefits, says it’s far worse – a run amuck Ponzi scheme based on blinking lights & twirling numbers. We know the FED rate is zero, that Bernanke & Geitner are printing tons of funny money, and inflation will be 5%, 10%, or maybe 100%.

        Similarly government worker and other “private” funds find themselves with the same dilemma… near zero interest and runaway inflation – $ devaluation… cities going broke, record bankruptcies, etc… Add to it the fact that US productive infrastructure disappeared and reappeared brand new in China. The peas & shells are more than the banks that makes peas or trees that drop shells. The issue is global monopolists with relatively little invested in pyramids of so called private wealth that they manage and move about faster than the eye. Is it possible that your investment in home town GE became uncompetitive, wherein GE closed your plant and job, wrote off the loss, and reinvested “their” skimmed money and resources in China, wherein slaves make the same old product for half the price, which is sold back to unemployed you, at the same old price… Maybe you can’t afford to get your broken back X-rayed and maybe GE & Mao are sharing their new found wealth… Monopoly is very nasty and profitable, with undeniable power to enslave all it touches. The financial pyramids manipulated by global monopolists are evil beyond imagination! Good news – anti-trust laws carried treble damages, but bad news… we can’t seem to identify enemies, problems, or solutions. 310 million people in chaos are like fish in a barrel, but enemies are fleas on the rump of a 310 million pound lion.

        Solutions begin with forcing legislators and the president to the SSI-MED table – force financial disclosure, stop the giveaways and corruption, prosecute, and make corruption very unprofitable and painful! Most of all, recognize the productive utility values of capital savings and investment, jobs it creates, and the wealth and power it creates for everyone! Without it, we’re all slaves! Communist China recognizes the value of capital, but we can’t!

      i don’t really believe that ‘THE BANK’ starts all the wars.
      i do beleive it is for their ‘financial gain’ and therefore their ‘power gain’ for them to propagate warfare.
      in days of old when kings needed weapons and armor, they borrowed from ‘THE BANK’; hard currency (gold, silver, stones, etc.) were the rule,as paper money was non-existant. with one king against the other, ‘THE BANK’ cared less about the outcome or the number of humans lost in the conflict; the main concern of ‘THE BANK’ was THE LOSING KING BE KEPT ALIVE BY THE VICTOR! by so doing ‘THE BANK’ was guaranteed its reimburment plus interest of all loans, from both sides; this also insured their control.
      it is fallacy there is more than one bank. there is only ‘THE BANK’ with many branches; and there is ‘ONE HEAD’ of this bank, and he has many powerful servants, in many powerful places.
      its not ‘rocket science’, its more power , more money, more control, till the ultimate goal, TOTAL CONTROL OF THE WORLD.
      only an elite few are allowed to meet the ‘ONE HEAD’, all the rest are just unknowing pawns in this ‘MASTERPLAN’; the conclusion of which is drawing nearer by the hour. money is the root of all evil.
      whether you beleive or not. GOD BLESS US ALL.
