So take a few minutes out of your time and watch this video. Post what you think and feel. Did you already know this or is this new to you?

Not new to me, I've seen this about a year or two back.

Although I don't think that just ending the fed is going to solve all problems. We live in a business-driven economy which has largely been made possible because large loans could have been made because of this fractional reserve system. In other words, what the bankers have been doing all along is exploiting the economy's dependence in having access to large loans. I don't think ending the fed's going to do much good in the long run unless fundamental changes get made in the way we do economics. See, this fractional reserve banking system emerged out of necessity and thus by making such a system unnecessary or just plain obsolete and stick to alternatives can we really dig the fed's grave.

I don't really know what to say.

 

Eradicating or getting rid of the Federal Reserve System isn't going to solve all of the problems that we have. I think that the bankers are trying to save our economy, but with the access of large loans at their disposal ending the fed won't do much unless we do make some fundamental changes in the economics. Until then, not necessary.

Old news.

 

It is in the bankers' interest to maintain their illusion of wealth, so I doubt the status quo will change anytime soon.

I didn't watch because I was lazy but still old news.

I have seen this movie before and I think I posted it in another thread on here a while back when the subject came up. I think that we need to realize that America is no longer a free country and that it hasn't been since the Federal Reserve coup was put into place and won't be anymore until it is repealed. People point out that only getting rid of the FED won't solve every problem and they are of course right but it is still a very crucial step in ending the disastrous precedent of printing money out of thin air and the corrupt practice of doing this and charging us the taxpayers interest on it (I wish I was making this up). And it is also important to break up the massive power the banks have long held over the government, it is not going to be easy but if Iceland can do it than so can America. What is going on is nothing less than the greatest fraud ever perpetuated against mankind and it needs to be put to an end, if the founding fathers were alive they would wonder how so many could sit back and watch this happen.

I've seen this a few months ago and I admit that it is utterly appalling just how bad a shape the world is in because a handful of people decided that only the 1% would have any real wealth to their names. I'm in Australia, but I'm pretty sure we have our own version of the FED. 

 

I like to think we're not in as bad a situation as the US is at the moment, but some major companies are planning to leave our shores in the next few years and some people are reporting that a government office is putting extra pressure on them to get out the door.

 

I mean, it's at least a good sign that they're giving everyone a good two years notice before closing the factories down, and from the sounds of it they are finishing for other companies to take over said factories, but it's still going to be a major blow in South Australia.
