The Creature from Jekyll Island

[FB Si]

Henry Ford said it best, "It is well that the people of this nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be revolution before tomorrow morning."

If everyone watched that Youtube video "Exposing the Federal Reserve!" there would be a dang revolt!

It is actually a cartoon, well produced, that would blow many people's minds.

Too bad people don't care enough to devote a couple of hours to understanding this topic. They'll complain about inflation, taxes and life, but won't take a couple of hours to understand what is really happening.

Thanks Tree Rat. That Youtube video was an eye opener.

Great quote. I don't get what everyone's obsession with Rand is right now. Greenspan was a big Ayn Rand fan, she was there when Greenspan was sworn in if I'm not mistaken, and Greenspan's policies had a lot to do with the situation that our economy is in at the moment.

I also want to say thank you for teaching me the word "unobtanium."

Honestly, I think the "blame" idea is a red herring. OK blame the individual or blame the people who created the system, it really makes no difference. What does matter is that we are experiencing a suppression of conscience that will ultimately lead us to a very bad place. The only way to combat a suppression of conscience is through expressing conscience.

Look, you and Constitution Hour are two of the few people on ODT who's opinion's I respect, so I see no reason for the two of us to keep on bickering at each other over issues that are really not that important.

I mentioned some books. Here they are:
