Even as Americas overlords bask in their recent multi-trillion dollar takeaway, the rest of this nation is again left to scrape up the dregs and start over again. Your parents and grandparents know the drill. What you may not know is that " The Creature from Jekyll Island" i.e. the Federal Reserve System was established in 1913 ostensibly because of the crash of 1907. With the expressed mandate to prevent future economic debacles.
Amazingly, approximately every 20 years hence the U.S.A. has suffered through some form of recession or depression. Note that the Federal Reserve is a consortium of private financial institutions acting outside of either the Government or the audit of the very people whom their decisions directly effect. In a real world this would be called a shadow government, a treasonous violation of the Constitution. In today's virtual reality world of oligarchy and serfs it has become as acceptable as winter solstice.
Let me say it again, the very institution that was created to prevent national (and global) financial catastrophes has in fact presided over an unending series of. financial catastrophes. Each and every occurrence has witnessed a phenomenal shift of wealth and power from the lower and middle working classes into the pockets and portfolios of those within and closely related to the financial institutions associated with the Federal Reserve.
What's wrong with this picture?
Better to stay upwind of this, it smells much like another conspiracy theory. Luckily for the average American, there are no conspiracies. There are only theories, lone gunmen, and an occasional handful of lowly and generic bad apples. Ha! I've also got some beachfront property for sale on the moon.
We skate on ever thinning ice. The Official rhetoric today is exactly the same as we heard two years ago: " Our main focus is to help out main street by creating millions of jobs and preventing foreclosures." Two years, two Presidents and $3 trillion later unemployment and foreclosures continue unabated. Utility, gas, grocery, and product prices spiral upwards as the trickle-down of this Machiavellian financial system proves itself to be inflationary at best. No questions asked. No transparency, and no hope of retribution.
P.S. "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is a recent book by G. Edward Griffin. I would also suggest reading Sen. Dr. Ron Paul's book: "End the Fed."
