Alrighty then! With each passing day, more people like myself have their eyes wide open. We can no longer deny “what’s up”; the blinders are off. We see through corporate media’s attempt to mask the restructuring that is taking place behind all the new rules and regulations. It’s nothing short of a top-down reorganization of the world’s power structure that will eventually trickle down to affect our individual “worlds”.
If you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention.” Author Unknown
From what I have been reading lately I surmise that our nation is in the middle of a takeover; i.e. a new stage of governments’ submission to and domination by the transnational financial sector, AKA globalization. Fugetaboutit if you think the president runs the country. That’s soon to be “old-school” thinking.
Without a jump-start of outrage to spur each and every one of us into action, most of us are left only to commiserate among ourselves about the multiple coming assorted forms of personal wealth-extraction currently slated and on the horizon.
Two sides of the same coin.
To focus solely on the merits or detractors of either Democrats or Republicans sadly is but to fall into a snare insuring that we the people will fight among ourselves. Remember “divide and conquer”? Meanwhile, under our noses corporate-robber barons of financial services, insurance and real estate (FIRE) rob us blind with incremental wealth erosion.
Make no mistake, most politicians, no matter party affiliation, follow the money as their primary credo. Their campaigns, funded by FIRE, keep them in lock-step with the goals of big-money’. We, in turn, pay the price via increasing regulations and taxes; those both visible and hidden as inflation.
Consider the 2008 elections; Goldman Sachs was the largest financial sector contributor for both John McCain and President Obama. Such monetary overlords care precious little about politics left or right but rather only which persuasion will be most likely to forward their centralization-of-power and control agenda.
“Wall Street had already given Obama $9.5 million, that four out of his top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants, with Goldman Sachs at the top of the list.” Bob Ostertag, Huffington Post 2008.
No matter who sits in the White House, government leaders do the bidding of the powerful special interest groups that back them. From time immemorial big money has pulled the strings of government. Clearly, “there is nothing new under the sun”.
What is new, however, has everything to do with central banking a la the United States Federal Reserve Bank. Since its inception in 1913, the Fed has been able to create an endless supply of new money (credit) using a self-interested fractional-reserve formula made fully functional per the founding of The Bank of England in 1694.
As a result, over the past 97 years of the Fed the dollar’s value has gone from $1.00 to 5 cents eroding purchasing power at the register. Yet it will be “a cold day in hell” before mainstream media exposes the Fed as the father of all Ponzi schemes.
Plus, despite the growing number of informed Americans who know exactly how the Fed works and affects them directly, how does the government respond? Instead of proceeding with an audit of the Fed (audit the Fed bill), the government may soon increase its powers (financial reform bill)! Per Ron Paul (R) and Alan Grayson (D) one result of central banking in the U.S. is a now virtually bankrupt nation owned by foreign transnational creditor corporations.
“Over the past few years, people from Goldman Sachs have assumed control over large parts of the federal government. Over the next few years they might just take over the whole darn thing.” Columnist David Brooks, New York TImes
Enter the elephant in the board room.
Many financial advisers these days tell us over and over about just how important it is to get out of debt. Funny, how our country does not lead by example in this matter given a deficit nearing 2 trillion! If you or I ran our personal finances the way government does theirs, we would be bankrupt ten-times over and absolutely no bank would want to do business with us without (perhaps) the offer of serious collateral to assure repayment.
Now back at the debtor nation… the national deficit just keeps growing as the Fed prints whatever money (credit) government wants to borrow from them to spend. Expanding debt is what a fractional-reserve banking system does best by design! Why on earth would any creditor nation want to extend credit to the U.S.? Simple… these creditor nations/banks have hedged their bets for U.S. debt repayment because we (taxpayer revenue units) have been promised as the collateral!
Warning: Blind faith may be dangerous to your health.
No wonder I beat the drum for the “little guy”; the one willing to see this writing on the wall and take action on their own behalf. You can secure, reduce and reverse snow-balling financial sector wealth-extraction if you proactively begin to reorganize how you earn, spend, save and invest. The question is how will this information move you into action?
