Last autumn’s global financial crisis set off an economic earthquake. And we are still feeling the tremors. The latest sign of the ground shifting beneath our feet is our report today of plans by Gulf states, China, Russia, France and Japan to end their practice of conducting oil deals in US dollars, switching instead to a diverse basket of currencies.

It is not hard to see the motivation for oil exporters to move away from the dollar. The value of the US currency has fallen sharply since last year’s meltdown. And fears are growing, in the light of a spiraling US government deficit, that a further depreciation is likely. They do not want to sell their wares in return for a currency with an uncertain future.

It is also easy to see why China would like a world trading system that is underpinned by other currencies as well as the dollar. For the past decade Beijing has been recycling the proceeds of its giant national trade surplus into purchases of US government bonds and other dollar-denominated assets. China too stands to make a significant loss if the value of the dollar falls. For China, however, the timing is much more sensitive. Beijing needs to reduce its dollar holdings, but if it does so too quickly it will bring about the very devaluation it fears. This explains why Chinese officials appear to want this transition to take place gradually over the next decade.

But the significance of this development goes much further. Since the end of the Second World War the dollar has been the bedrock of world trade. The pre-eminence of the American currency flowed naturally from the economic dominance of the US. Virtually everyone traded with America so it made sense to use their currency.

But the US is not the dominant power that it once was. The financial crisis has left it hobbled with significant government and household debts and sharply reduced prospects for growth. Developing nations such as China, Brazil and India, on the other hand, have weathered the economic storm significantly better. So while this latest proposal is born of financial calculation, it is also a reflection of a new economic world order.

We should not be sentimental for the dollar. It makes economic sense for world trade to be conducted in a variety of currencies. Relying on one only has the advantage of clarity, but it also creates instability if the economy that underpins it faces uncertain prospects.

Yet we need to understand that exchange rate volatility is a symptom, rather than a cause, of what truly ails the world economy. The biggest driver of global economic instability in recent years has been the determination of China to boost its export sector at all costs. Beijing’s persistently large trade surpluses and manipulation to prevent its own currency from appreciating have effectively forced Western nations into running persistently large trade deficits. It was this pressure that blew up various asset bubbles that burst with such disastrous effect last year.

A gradual move away from the dollar makes sense. But without a commitment from world governments – both in the rich and developing world – to reduce these destabilizing global trade imbalances we will enter an uncertain new era; and one that could yet make us pine for the days of the dominant greenback.

Now a comment on the above article by The Liberty Tree Lantern:

Folks, this is just the first attempt to program your MATRIX dominated mind to accept a one world currency.  But remember, if you do you will be permanently be giving away your freedom, liberty and individual prosperity in exchange for human slavery, oppression, and tyranny with nowhere on Earth to run from the IRS and endless massive taxation of almost everything you ever earn and work for.  If we accept a one world currency, that they will try to push on us, eventually soon after, we will be forced into a One World Government / a New World Order. 

Do not fall for this.  They will tell half-truths and they will seem to make all kinds of sense just like when the bankers spoke about the importance of the Federal Reserve “System” central bank back in 1912-13 resulting in “The MATrix” our economy that only exists in our minds based on an almost worthless dollar.  Don’t accept a little bit of security at the expense of the true freedom and liberty that we can recapture only after the complete collapse of The MATRIX (our economy), when we can rebuild it with REAL money and create individual wealth for the common working man as well as small businesses that will then flourish.

There is talk all over the world about a “new world currency”.  When this happens our country, our sovereignty, our freedom and our liberty will simply and totally cease to exist.

People, my message to you today, and I have mentioned this to you before, is that The MATRIX, the economy that only exists in our American minds as we are foolish to actually believe that the dollar is really worth 100 cents when in the “REAL WORLD” outside of our programmed by the public school system, the Main Stream Media, and the U.S. Government minds, it is only worth 2 – 3 cents,  has to be allowed to collapse.  The ONLY way that The MATRIX will not collapse is for us to let our U.S. Government completely usurp our freedom, liberty and unalienable rights and become Socialist, Communist, Fascist slaves under a one Government U.N. style BIG BROTHER welfare State.  And, even then the MATRIX will collapse because when the Government and The Federal Reserve “System” who controls them and who has programmed The MATRIX,  has us under their full and complete power, by the total destruction of The Constitution and the principles of The Declaration of Independence, they will not have to waste their time, effort and money on the costs associated with the maintenance of the sham of The MATRIX, which really is little more than a prison for our minds which enslaves us in that the fruit of our labor is siphoned off primarily by Constitutionally illegal taxation, inflation and Government caused artificially high energy costs when we have oil and gas resources in the hundreds of billions of barrels domestically not to mention reserves of coal which can be burned cleanly, plus we could add to the mix nuclear which has a fabulous safety track record across the world.  Add to these problems that fact that our minds have been programmed to believe that Global Warming, caused by mankind, actually exists and it is no wonder we are giving our freedom, liberty and rights away to the usurpers and despots.  Why NASA has confirmed records that the Earth tempertures have been “diving down” since 2000 and their are several climate scientists that think we are headed to another Ice Age.

Now see these two videos, on the soon coming hyper-inflation, which well represents just a part of what I have been trying to convey to my readers for nearly three years:

If you are ready to now listen to me here is what you need to do:

1. Read the rest of The Liberty Tree Lantern so that you have more information and insight as to what has happened to this country, what needs to be done to fix it, and what you need to do to protect yourselves from the collapse of The MATRIX and/or the One World Government.
2. Protect your family, home and property.  This is YOUR responsibility.  The Police are not going to be protecting you.  At best they will be neutral, that is IF they are not following orders of the U.S. and/or World U.N. Government.  At worst they will be marching along with the IRS Agents, who actually work for The Federal Reserve company as all Income Taxes has been going  to them to pay for the “public debit for decades,  to take your homes, money, assets, firearms and anything else of value away.  So wise up.
3. If the Obama administration allows oil companies to get the leases they need to explore and drill for oil and gas, the economy will go into what I have coined “The Supernova Effect” where the stock market will explode.  Unfortunately, as the dollar is revalued and corrected to its true value of 2 – 3 cents the ENTIRE stock markets will implode just like a Supernova does after the explosion.  Now if the Obama Administration, through their Secretary of The Interior, Salazar, continues to refuse to let out drilling leases for offshore, western, Alaska and other land regions, where we have hundreds of Billions of barrels of crude oil and vast resources of natural gas, than the economy (The MATRIX) will just totally tank and collapse right from here AND we will have inflation like that shown in the videos above.
4. Before the Supernova collapses or before the dollar starts going into the final major collapse, your better be well out of all dollar based assets and into some sort of commodity like gold, silver other precious metals, or other hard assets.  Food stock that you can store over long periods will be especially valuable.  During the Great Depression a man became a millionaire by buying up thousands of hotdogs and using them for money by bartering them.
5. I am predicting that the collapse of the dollar will occur in less than three years.  It could be in just a few months.  You need to be watching AND UNDERSTANDING the news.  I will try to keep you informed.
6. I would be watching and recording Glenn Beck on The Fox Cable News Channel if I were you.  He is really doing a great job of reporting things that are happening and inviting very knowledgeable people on his program to explain things.
7. Read, study and understand The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence and all the writings of our Founding Fathers so that you understand how things are supposed to be for yourself and teach it to your family.  The Government is supposed to ANSWER to us, We The People, not the other way around like it is becoming.  We are supposed to be INDIVIDUALLY free and each have our unalienable rights protected from other people and especially protected from the masses, the majority and especially from The U.S. Government.  That is why we DO NOT HAVE A DEMOCRACY, but rather a REPUBLIC.  A democracy is where the majority steals from and oppresses the minority by simple vote and power by shear numbers and votes.  Politicians “bring home the bacon” and give away “free stuff” and bring home projects and jobs for “good money” from the Federal Government and we become beholding to them instead of to ourselves.  We become dishonorable, weak, lazy and irresponsible for our own needs, good and self value as we become accustomed to dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight and accepting his beguiling apples of temptation and vote to put the minions of the devil back into office over and over and over again; fomenting utter and continual corruption to the point where Congressmen literally hide hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes into refrigerator/freezers in bags.
8. I highly recommend that you get INVOLVED in Tea Parties and every other possible group for the cause of Freedom.  One of the best groups looking to ENFORCE our Constitutional LAW on our U.S. Government is We The People Congress; See: www.GiveMeLiberty.org
9. If we have the guts and the fortitude to let The MATRIX, our economy collapse, and with the U.S. Government and The Federal Reserve out of our way we can and we will rebuild it basked in FREEDOM and LIBERTY we will rekindle the American spirit bathed in these and our country and our posterity will once again have the energy, low prices on all goods and services, low prices on the costs for healthcare (due to massive unbridled ”price” and quality competition unleashed by any controlling forces and the natural Tort reform that will massively bring down malpractice insurance costs that our society pays for) and prosperity for the vast majority of the average common man as well as the gifted, to light up that shining city on the hill; as my eyes have seen the Glory!   of The Coming of the Lord (The Battle Hymn of The Republic <play the video in this post) 
10. Morality, principles and virtue and faith in our Lord will lead us back to our promised land and the American Dream again one day, after the total collapse of The MATRIX, which must happen for us to get our freedom, liberty and INDIVIDUAL prosperity back, and a few years of hardship and hunger in which we realize the importance of honor, virtue, principles, good will toward men and our Lord.

Oh, and Good Luck and may God bless us all.

Dr. Ben S. Bernanke 14th Chairman of the Federal Reserve company.

1. Government’s Must continue to take FORCEFUL, “COORDINATED”, action to restore financial markets.
2. Continued viability of systemically important banks is vital.  In layman’s language that means that all governments need to continue to raise withholding and payroll taxes on all working people to give to big banks.
3. Treasury and The Fed will take any necessary steps to ensure banks have enough capital and liquidity. This means that they will continue to take as much ADDITIONAL money out of our future earnings as they need to give to big banks.
4. Reform of U.S. Financial System should be “COORDINATED GLOBALLY”.  This means that their should be a One World Government so that no American or anybody else in the world has a place to run to to protect their INDIVIDUAL earnings, property or freedom from the Government or the Banks.
5. Bernanke: Regulators Must insist banks can monitor and manage risks in a timely manner. This means that Big banks should have the authority to dig into the private affairs of private lives and businesses and even tell them what to do if they feel like it.
6. Calls for “CONSOLIDATED SUPERVISION” of all systemically important financial institutions by The Federal Reserve company.  This means that The Fed, the largest most powerful private corporation in the world, should have ultimate control over all banks that hold the individual banking accounts of Americans. and eventually all accounts throughout the world.
7. U.S. also needs to supervise all systemically important non-bank financial firms.
8. FED focusing on contingency plan for two clearing banks that handle Repos.  This means that The Fed is working to setup two Big Banks to take what you own in property when you go broke from the future ADDITIONAL taxation of your earnings, which will be 80 – 90% of the common working man’s paycheck.  The vast amount of GDP wealth resides with the Hundreds of Millions of the average working class in America; therefore, The FED, the private company who “profits” through the collection of ALL INCOME TAXES paid in the United States, which THEY collect through the IRS, according to The 1983 Grace Commission Report to President Reagan, will receive your personal property through these two banks when you all go broke from taxation, which will occur with in three years or so.
9. Fed should have explicit authority over systemically important payment and settlement systems. This means that The Fed will decide who gives and who receives, who is allowed to be wealthy and who will pay to develop the wealth for the anointed.
10. Bernanke suggests either tighter controls on Money Market investments or Insurance Plan.

We all need to see what Thomas Jefferson, President and Founding Father of our Nation, said about Central Banks like The Fed:

1.  
   1. Banking institutions, paper money, and paper speculation are capable of undermining the nation’s stability and could be a danger in time of war. The Constitution does not empower the Congress to establish a National Bank. Rather than trust the nation’s currency to private hands, the circulating medium should be restored to the nation itself to whom it belongs.
   2. ″Paper is poverty,… it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.” –Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1788.
   3. ″It is a [disputed] question, whether the circulation of paper, rather than of specie, is a good or an evil… I believe it to be one of those cases where mercantile clamor will bear down reason, until it is corrected by ruin.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:409 
   4. “One of three great measures necessary to insure us permanent prosperity… should insure resources of money by the suppression of all paper circulation during peace, and licensing that of the nation alone during war. The metallic medium of which we should be possessed at the commencement of a war, would be a sufficient fund for all the loans we should need through its continuance; and if the national bills issued be bottomed (as is indispensable) on pledges of specific taxes for their redemption within certain and moderate epochs, and be of proper denominations for circulation, no interest on them would be necessary or just, because they would answer to everyone the purposes of the metallic money withdrawn and replaced by them.” –Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816. ME 15:30
   5. “It would be best that our medium should be so proportioned to our produce, as to be on a par with that of the countries with which we trade, and whose medium is in a sound state.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:430
   6. “That paper money has some advantages is admitted. But that its abuses also are inevitable and, by breaking up the measure of value, makes a lottery of all private property, cannot be denied. –Thomas Jefferson to Josephus B. Stuart, 1817. ME 15:113
   7. “The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals… it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:430
   8. “Scenes are now to take place as will open the eyes of credulity and of insanity itself, to the dangers of a paper medium abandoned to the discretion of avarice and of swindlers.” –Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814. ME 14:189
   9. “The States should be applied to, to transfer the right of issuing circulating paper to Congress exclusively, in perpetuum.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:276
   10. “The evils of this deluge of paper money are not to be removed until our citizens are generally and radically instructed in their cause and consequences, and silence by their authority the interested clamors and sophistry of speculating, shaving, and banking institutions. Till then, we must be content to return quoad hoc to the savage state, to recur to barter in the exchange of our property for want of a stable common measure of value, that now in use being less fixed than the beads and wampum of the Indian, and to deliver up our citizens, their property and their labor, passive victims to the swindling tricks of bankers and mountebankers.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:185
   11. “Private fortunes, in the present state of our circulation, are at the mercy of those self-created money lenders, and are prostrated by the floods of nominal money with which their avarice deluges us.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:276
   12. “It is a cruel thought, that, when we feel ourselves standing on the firmest ground in every respect, the cursed arts of our secret enemies, combining with other causes, should effect, by depreciating our money, what the open arms of a powerful enemy could not.” –Thomas Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee, 1779. ME 4:298, Papers 2:298
   13. “I now deny [the Federal Government's] power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798. ME 10:65
   14. “A spirit… of gambling in our public paper has seized on too many of our citizens, and we fear it will check our commerce, arts, manufactures, and agriculture, unless stopped.” –Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 1791. ME 8:230
   15. “All the capital employed in paper speculation is barren and useless, producing, like that on a gaming table, no accession to itself, and is withdrawn from commerce and agriculture where it would have produced addition to the common mass… It nourishes in our citizens habits of vice and idleness instead of industry and morality… It has furnished effectual means of corrupting such a portion of the legislature as turns the balance between the honest voters whichever way it is directed.” –Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792. ME 8:344
   16. “We are now taught to believe that legerdemain tricks upon paper can produce as solid wealth as hard labor in the earth. It is vain for common sense to urge that nothing can produce but nothing; that it is an idle dream to believe in a philosopher’s stone which is to turn everything into gold, and to redeem man from the original sentence of his Maker, ‘in the sweat of his brow shall he eat his bread.’” –Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816. ME 14:381
   17. “I own it to be my opinion, that good will arise from the destruction of our credit. I see nothing else which can restrain our disposition to luxury, and to the change of those manners which alone can preserve republican government. As it is impossible to prevent credit, the best way would be to cure its ill effects by giving an instantaneous recovery to the creditor. This would be reducing purchases on credit to purchases for ready money. A man would then see a prison painted on everything he wished, but had not ready money to pay for.” –Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Stuart, 1786. ME 5:259
   18. “We should try whether the prodigal might not be restrained from taking on credit the gewgaw held out to him in one hand, by seeing the keys of a prison in the other.” –Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pleasants, 1786. ME 5:325, Papers 9:472
   19. “The maxim of buying nothing without the money in our pockets to pay for it would make of our country one of the happiest on earth.” –Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, 1787. ME 6:192
   20. “That we are overdone with banking institutions which have banished the precious metals and substituted a more fluctuating and unsafe medium, that these have withdrawn capital from useful improvements and employments to nourish idleness, that the wars of the world have swollen our commerce beyond the wholesome limits of exchanging our own productions for our own wants, and that, for the emolument of a small proportion of our society who prefer these demoralizing pursuits to labors useful to the whole, the peace of the whole is endangered and all our present difficulties produced, are evils more easily to be deplored than remedied.” –Thomas Jefferson to Abbe Salimankis, 1810. ME 12:379
   21. “The system of banking [I] have… ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:18
   22. “The banks… have the regulation of the safety-valves of our fortunes, and… condense and explode them at their will.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:224
   23. “I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
   24. “The incorporation of a bank and the powers assumed [by legislation doing so] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated.” –Thomas Jefferson: Opinion on Bank, 1791. ME 3:146     

   25. “[The] Bank of the United States… is one of the most deadly hostility existing, against the principles and form of our Constitution… An institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?” –Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1803. ME 10:437     

   26. “The monopoly of a single bank is certainly an evil. The multiplication of them was intended to cure it; but it multiplied an influence of the same character with the first, and completed the supplanting the precious metals by a paper circulation. –Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1802. ME 10:323     

   27. “In order to be able to meet a general combination of the banks against us in a critical emergency, could we not make a beginning towards an independent use of our own money, towards holding our own bank in all the deposits where it is received, and letting the treasurer give his draft or note for payment at any particular place, which, in a well-conducted government, ought to have as much credit as any private draft or bank note or bill, and would give us the same facilities which we derive from the banks?” –Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1803. ME 10:439     

   28. “Bank paper must be suppressed, and the circulating medium must be restored to the nation to whom it belongs. It is the only fund on which they can rely for loans; it is the only resource which can never fail them, and it is an abundant one for every necessary purpose. Treasury bills, bottomed on taxes, bearing or not bearing interest, as may be found necessary, thrown into circulation will take the place of so much gold and silver, which last, when crowded, will find an efflux into other countries, and thus keep the quantum of medium at its salutary level. Let banks continue if they please, but let them discount for cash alone or for treasury notes.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:361     

   29. “The art and mystery of banks… is established on the principle that ‘private debts are a public blessing.’ That the evidences of those private debts, called bank notes, become active capital, and aliment the whole commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of the United States. Here are a set of people, for instance, who have bestowed on us the great blessing of running in our debt about two hundred millions of dollars, without our knowing who they are, where they are, or what property they have to pay this debt when called on; nay, who have made us so sensible of the blessings of letting them run in our debt, that we have exempted them by law from the repayment of these debts beyond a give proportion (generally estimated at one-third). And to fill up the measure of blessing, instead of paying, they receive an interest on what they owe from those to whom they owe; for all the notes, or evidences of what they owe, which we see in circulation, have been lent to somebody on an interest which is levied again on us through the medium of commerce. And they are so ready still to deal out their liberalities to us, that they are now willing to let themselves run in our debt ninety millions more, on our paying them the same premium of six or eight per cent interest, and on the same legal exemption from the repayment of more than thirty millions of the debt, when it shall be called for.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:420     

   30. “The bank mania… is raising up a moneyed aristocracy in our country which has already set the government at defiance, and although forced at length to yield a little on this first essay of their strength, their principles are unyielded and unyielding. These have taken deep root in the hearts of that class from which our legislators are drawn, and the sop to Cerberus from fable has become history. Their principles lay hold of the good, their pelf of the bad, and thus those whom the Constitution had placed as guards to its portals, are sophisticated or suborned from their duties.” –Thomas Jefferson to Josephus B. Stuart, 1817. ME 15:112     

   31. “Put down all banks, admit none but a metallic circulation that will take its proper level with the like circulation in other countries, and then our manufacturers may work in fair competition with those of other countries, and the import duties which the government may lay for the purposes of revenue will so far place them above equal competition.” –Thomas Jefferson to Charles Pinckney, 1820. ME 15:280     

   32. “But it will be asked, are we to have no banks? Are merchants and others to be deprived of the resource of short accommodations, found so convenient? I answer, let us have banks; but let them be such as are alone to be found in any country on earth, except Great Britain. There is not a bank of discount on the continent of Europe (at least there was not one when I was there) which offers anything but cash in exchange for discounted bills.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:277     

   33. “If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands, and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest, until it shall vanish into air… We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on the principle of ‘a public debt being a public blessing,’ and its mutation into the blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks with paper.” –Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:423     

   34. “Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs.” –Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814. ME 14:61
   35. “Certainly no nation ever before abandoned to the avarice and jugglings of private individuals to regulate according to their own interests, the quantum of circulating medium for the nation — to inflate, by deluges of paper, the nominal prices of property, and then to buy up that property at 1s. in the pound, having first withdrawn the floating medium which might endanger a competition in purchase. Yet this is what has been done, and will be done, unless stayed by the protecting hand of the legislature. The evil has been produced by the error of their sanction of this ruinous machinery of banks; and justice, wisdom, duty, all require that they should interpose and arrest it before the schemes of plunder and spoilation desolate the country.” –Thomas Jefferson to William C. Rives, 1819. ME 15:232   

What is $4 TRILLION Dollars?  The cost of the following, just about equals $4 Trillion:

• The New Deal
• The Louisiana Purchase
• The Marshall Plan
• The Korean War
• The Vietnam War
• The Iraq War
• Every NASA project in history
• The S&L Crisis

And those expenditures above are not even equivalent to $4 Trillion of the $4.56 TRILLION of our taxpayer money that was spent on “stimulus” as of November 24, 2008.

Now the U.S. Government, additionally, has guaranteed in bailouts: $14 TRILLION.

The entire output, GDP, of the ENTIRE United States, for a full year, is $14 Trillion Dollars.

Now, in addition, to the TRILLIONS of taxpayer money spent above, The U.S. Congress is going to come back for more taxpayer bailout money for the banks.

Do you really believe that the IRS is going to let you pull a Tom Daschle or a Tim Geithner and not pay your income taxes or the rest of your taxation when they come to your door with guns pointed at your heads to force you pay for the attempt to prevent the collapse of “The Matrix”, the economy that only exists as it has been programmed in our minds by our “government sponsored” public schools, the main stream media, the U.S. Government and most especially by The Federal Reserve “System”, the largest privately owned company on our planet.  If you believe that you are going to get away with that from the IRS, who are Agents of “The Matrix”, you are going to be made an example of and taken to jail if not SHOT.  Good Luck!

In addition to the TRILLIONS of Dollars we are going to pay for in “withholding taxes” and you know what The State of California did with California tax refunds, for the “Stimulus”, do you realize that Social Security and Medicare are $90,000,000,000,000.00 ($90 TRILLION Dollars) in UNFUNDED debt, over the infinite horizon, in those TWO programs ALONE!  Where do you think they are coming to get this money?  Let me give you another little hint, Knock, Knock!  Here is a picture of the guys coming to collect YOUR FAIR SHARE.  I hope you realize that your fair share is 80% of your earnings, because that is the cost it will take to maintain the financial power required to support “The Matrix” the economy that only exists in our minds.

What you don’t understand is that our Dollar is not a dollar and it hasn’t been a dollar for decades.  By definition a dollar is either gold itself or it is backed by gold or other precious metal like silver.  The Dollars that are supporting “The Matrix”, the economy that only exists in our minds, are nothing more than what is PRINTED RIGHT ON EVERY DOLLAR BILL IN YOUR WALLET.  Look on your dollars right now.  You will see, printed thereon: FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE.  Do you have any idea what a NOTE is?  It is an I.O.U….   You have accepted I.O.U.s for your labor all of your life.  You have “thought” in your mind that you paid for all sorts of things, when all you have used to pay for things are I.O.U.s..  So what does that mean?  It means you haven’t been paid for your work.  It means nothing you “think” you own has been paid for.

This economy is only correcting itself to the true value of the paper and ink created out of thin air Dollar of which the true value is now 2 – 3 cents each in supporting assets.  In other words, The Matrix is collapsing all around us.  Without massive more taxation to produce the financial power it takes to keep our minds programmed, in other words “believe” in or have “confidence” in our economy and the market it will take a lot more hard assets of which there are only two:  The sweat, labor and creations thereof made by man and the natural resources of the Earth used by man, created by God.

You see people, only one entity can create wealth or an economy out of thin air or the void of space.  And, The Federal Reserve company, despite their size and power, are not him.  When they “think” they can create wealth out of thin air it is pure blasphemy and it is little more than spitting in God’s face.  And, he is not laughing.  He is going to make us pay for not taking care of our moral responsibility of making sure Government obeys the law so that we can protect our own FREEDOM and earnings, that he provided for us through divine providence.

We could have had nearly all of what we “think” we have in this “Matrix” world we live in, but we didn’t take care of our INDIVIDUAL responsibilities to make sure our children were educated with regards to the basic meaning of FREEDOM.  That FREEDOM means self-government under the rule of law that We The People did ordain and establish on the Government as written in The Constitution.  Read all the other articles on The Liberty Tree Lantern to better understand what happened to us and our government/s and what we need to do to restore our freedom and recapture our personal individual wealth and liberty.

If we do not fight for our freedom by fighting for The Constitution, word for word, to the very spirit and intent as it WAS meant on the day of its ratification, we are doomed to Socialism and the equal distribution of misery in poverty.  There is no choice.  We must:

1.  Grow-up and act like Adults so we can take care of our INDIVIDUAL responsibilities to:
2.  get educated about the meaning of freedom, about our founding documents – The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, about American History, about why freedom through a REPUBLIC  is the best government type for the vast majority of people, why freedom creates individual personal wealth for the vast number of people, why our UNIQUE American Judo-Christian religious culture and morality is crucial to freedom and individual prosperity for the VAST majority of individuals, get educated about what we have to do INDIVIDUALLY and united to force the Government/s to obey the law as written in The Constitution TO THE LETTER.
3. take care of our INDIVIDUAL responsibilitiesto force the U.S. Congress to obey Constitutional law to the letter of the word, which means that the Federal Government is only allowed to be an agent of the sovereign States and nothing more than that allowed in the Constitution as per the “ENUMERATED” powers established therein.  PERIOD! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Read the following and understand what is / has happened to us:

Right now we all and our Government are under the power and total control of a private company called the FEDERAL RESERVE, which is a franchise of twelve privately owned banks.  Not a single nickel of our tax dollars goes to our Government.  Nope not a plug nickel!  Every bit of it goes DIRECTLY to the FEDERAL RESERVE for their profits.  All hundreds of BILLIONS every single year, year after year.  Our Government BORROWS every single penny it spends from the FEDERAL RESERVE who gets their money from us and turns around and borrows it back to our Government AT INTEREST!  THE FEDERAL RESERVE has the complete and understandable right of a private company / bank to say NO AT ANY TIME.  If they say no when the U.S. comes to borrow the money our entire Government will stop COMPLETELY.  Now can you imagine how high our Government jumps when The Federal Reserve says jump boy!  Remember The Federal Reserve can say NO to any request our Government makes to borrow the funds it needs, from the money they (The Federal Reserve) takes from us in the form of “Income Taxes”, just to open the doors. If that weren’t bad enough, The Federal Reserve owns all the Dollar printing presses.  In fact they print all the money they want anytime they want.  They borrow money not only to the U.S. Government but also to entities all over the world, as they should have the right to as a private company bank.  But why should they be using our tax money to do it?  Why should they be allowed to print money, which is in reality worth little more than the paper and ink they use to create it.  The name for the Dollars they print are FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES.  Look on the money you have in your wallet or purse, Jenn, you can see it for yourself.  The fact is that these so called Dollars are not really money but just exactly what it says: “NOTE” s.  They are NOTHING MORE THAN THE PROMISE TO PAY at some undefined point in the future.  A future that never comes.  So every time you pay “cash” for something you are not using money, you are using debt (NOTES).  Nothing but debt!  So if you buy a car or a home with debt (NOTES) instead of real money who really owns it?  I am telling you that everything you see, everything you believe in your mind is a fantasy.  Nothing exists in the form that you believe in your mind.  Why?  Because every body, every company, every living person, in our country, uses these international (mostly owned by foreign interests (shareholders of the Federal Reserve)) debt instruments.  And it isn’t like they, THE FEDERAL RESERVE, didn’t tell you they were debt instruments.  They have it printed on every single DOLLAR you spend: “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE”  If you don’t own anything you think you do, because you didn’t really pay for it with real money but rather notes, than who owns it?  You see, Jenn, The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

The Matrix (The Federal Reserve) is a system, Jenn. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Welcome to the Matrix, Jenn.  If you understand and you seriously think about what I have provided for you, you have just taken the “red pill”.  I imagine that right now you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole?  Would you like to see how deep it goes?  Here is only a very small glimpse:

President John F. Kennedy once tried to plug up the rabbit-hole by introducing real money, backed by real silver bullion held in a Federal vault called The Silver Certificate, by executive order.  A few weeks later he was dead. Coincidence?  What could a company not only worth many Trillons of Dollars but also able to literally print its own money and having complete control over our Government and every penny of its resourcesbe able to do?  Shortly after his death the printing of Silver Certificates, real money worth real value, stopped and eventually disappeared.  Now only collectors have them.  They are not in circulation any longer.  God forbid that we would really own anything and the Matrix (The Federal Reserve System) would collapse.  May God bless J.F.K’s soul!  He knew what he was taking on and there are some of his publicly documented statements regarding an entity that is controlling everything.  He died very shortly after making these statements.  It would seem that he was about to expose The Matrix.  He certainly was a very brave and courageous patriot!  It appears that the agents may have gotten to him before he could pull a Neo.

Let me ask you another question, Jenn.  If every penny of your Federal Income Taxes goes DIRECTLY (look on the back of any Income Tax check you sent in to what you thought was the U.S. Government, for it will be stamped THE FEDERAL RESERVE and not the U.S. Treasury), than who does the IRS really work for?  Are they really working for the U.S. Government or The Matrix?  Did you ever see the movie the Matrix, Jenn?  Remember the “Agents” with the dark suits and dark sunglasses?  Who do you think these guys really work for, the private corporation called THE FEDERAL RESERVEwho gets every single nickel they collect in Income Taxes or the Government who gets nothing of which they collect?  Who are these agents really working for when they collect your Income Taxes or make you fill out forms.  Income Tax form for which if you don’t do it right, by accident or on purpose, can land you in jail or the dark suited dark sunglasses agents can come and take your car, your home and anything else you ‘think’ you own.  Everybody is afraid of the IRS agents.  If you see one, run!  You see Jenn, most of our fellow countrymen are actually, in a manner of speaking, in a Matrix vat filled with some kind of slime which represents some kind of financial fluid that keeps you alive, for we are all like batteries housed in a mammoth facility of hundreds of millions of vats, each with an individual man, woman or child with a cord plugged into our cerebral cortexes which feed us the vision, smells, taste and feel of the Matrix, the place we ‘think’ we live in.  In reality, we are feeding The Federal Reserve System like millions of human batteries just like in the movie.  We feed them money and power.  Here is what President Woodrow Wilson wrote, as a result of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, in his book The New Freedom, see these two paragraphs:

“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.”

“We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world–no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.”

Jenn, if President Wilson wrote this about The Federal Reserve System in his book way back around 1919 or so, that Government was being “completely controlled and dominated”, how much worse must it be after all these decades.  How much money, Trillions of Dollars (or whatever you want to call it), must The Federal Reserve have by now?  How much power would such an entity have in general and specifically over our every day lives?  How deep does the rabbit-hole go?  Welcome to the Matrix, Jenn!

Do you want to see how much deeper the rabbit-hole goes?  I have more.  I have proof, I have research, I have evidence.  There are others, thousands of us now, who also have taken the red pill.  They are out of the Matrix and on board to fight the Matrix, just as Neo and Morpheus on board the Nebakanezer. 

We need to reach critical mass to beat the system, Jenn.  That is why I am working so hard to educate the people, to give them the red pill.  You see the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America are weapons of mass destruction to the Matrix and, what’s more, they know it.   These two precious documents, our countries founding documents and laws above all laws have clear and powerful provisions specifically against these illegal acts.  If enough people wake up and slide out of the vats of the Matrix and we reach critical mass, We The People will once again enjoy the certain unalienable rights bestowed upon us by God.  Rights that no mere government can take away, for to do so is blasphemy against our creator who gave us our lives, liberty and the individually popularly sovereign right to pursue happiness without intervention by a Government, a SERVANT government, that we gave the privilege of very few powers to govern us the way WE want to be governed to protect our rights and our property from others who may be immoral and to provide for the common defense.  The Federal Government was never supposed to be very big at all.  The Federal Government is supposed to be extremely small in relation to what it has become.   By far most of the things that BIG GOVERNMENT now does is supposed to be done at the State level or not done at all.  We individually have power on the State level.  At the State level we can walk into our capitol at almost any time and personally speak our grievances face to face with our representatives.  Something impossible at the Federal level.

States would then be more or less forced to compete for us.  The States are supposed to look at us as we are all cherished kings and queens who can bring great wealth, prosperity and happiness to them.  When the average person walks into a government facility they, the public SERVANTS, are supposed to feel honored that we would even take the time walk into their establishments.  They are supposed to be there to serve us.  Not to suck money, resources and power from us.  This is how it is written, how governments are constituted among men, free men.  Since 1913, with the passage of The Federal Reserve Act, which is completely illegal, and which was passed on Christmas Eve while almost the entire Congress was out on vacation and the American people were huddled by their fires and Christmas trees enjoying Christmas and not knowing what kind of gift was in the box.  The gift of the Matrix.

By Bill Sammon

NEW YORK —  Trillions in stock market value — gone. Trillions in retirement savings — gone. A huge chunk of the money you paid for your house, the money you’re saving for college, the money your boss needs to make payroll — gone, gone, gone.

Whether you’re a stock broker or Joe Six-pack, if you have a 401(k), a mutual fund or a college savings plan, tumbling stock markets and sagging home prices mean you’ve lost a whole lot of the money that was right there on your account statements just a few months ago.

But if you no longer have that money, who does? The fat cats on Wall Street? Some oil baron in Saudi Arabia? The government of China?

Or is it just — gone?

If you’re looking to track down your missing money — figure out who has it now, maybe ask to have it back — you might be disappointed to learn that is was never really money in the first place.

Robert Shiller, an economist at Yale, puts it bluntly: The notion that you lose a pile of money whenever the stock market tanks is a “fallacy.” He says the price of a stock has never been the same thing as money — it’s simply the “best guess” of what the stock is worth.

Shiller uses the example of an appraiser who values a house at $350,000, a week after saying it was worth $400,000.

“In a sense, $50,000 just disappeared when he said that,” he said. “But it’s all in the mind.”

Though something, of course, is disappearing as markets and real estate values tumble. Even if a share of stock you own isn’t a wad of bills in your wallet, even if the value of your home isn’t something you can redeem at will, surely you can lose potential money — that is, the money that would be yours to spend if you sold your house or emptied out your mutual funds right now.

And if you’re a few months away from retirement, or hoping to sell your house and buy a smaller one to help pay for your kid’s college tuition, this “potential money” is something you’re counting on to get by. For people who need cash and need it now, this is as real as money gets, whether or not it meets the technical definition of the word.

Still, you run into trouble when you think of that potential money as being the same thing as the cash in your purse or your checking account.

“That’s a big mistake,” says Dale Jorgenson, an economics professor at Harvard.

There’s a key distinction here: While the money in your pocket is unlikely to just vanish into thin air, the money you could have had, if only you’d sold your house or drained your stock-heavy mutual funds a year ago, most certainly can.

“You can’t enjoy the benefits of your 401(k) if it’s disappeared,” Jorgenson explains. “If you had it all in financial stocks and they’ve all gone down by 80 percent — sorry! That is a permanent loss because those folks aren’t coming back. We’re gonna have a huge shrinkage in the financial sector.”

There was a time when nobody had to wonder what happened to the money they used to have. Until paper money was developed in China around the ninth century, money was something solid that had actual value — like a gold coin that was worth whatever that amount of gold was worth, according to Douglas Mudd, curator of the American Numismatic Association’s Money Museum in Denver.

Back then, if the money you once had was suddenly gone, there was a simple reason — you spent it, someone stole it, you dropped it in a field somewhere, or maybe a tornado or some other disaster struck wherever you last put it down.

But these days, a lot of things that have monetary value can’t be held in your hand.

If you choose, you can pour most of your money into stocks and track their value in real time on a computer screen, confident that you’ll get good money for them when you decide to sell. And you won’t be alone — staring at millions of computer screens are other investors who share your confidence that the value of their portfolios will hold up.

But that collective confidence, Jorgenson says, is gone. And when confidence is drained out of a financial system, a lot of investors will decide to sell at any price, and a big chunk of that money you thought your investments were worth simply goes away.

If you once thought your investment portfolio was as good as a suitcase full of twenties, you might suddenly suspect that it’s not.

In the process, of course, you’re losing wealth. But does that mean someone else must be gaining it? Does the world have some fixed amount of wealth that shifts between people, nations and institutions with the ebb and flow of the economy?

Jorgenson says no — the amount of wealth in the world “simply decreases in a situation like this.” And he cautions against assuming that your investment losses mean a gain for someone else — like wealthy stock speculators who try to make money by betting that the market will drop.

“Those folks in general have been losing their shirts at a prodigious rate,” he said. “They took a big risk and now they’re suffering from the consequences.”

“Of course, they had a great life, as long as it lasted.”

You must understand and comprehend this if you want to fight the utter loss of your financial assets and worse our freedom that creates wealth and prosperity in the first place.  Stay informed by referring back to The Liberty Tree Lantern on at least a weekly basis.

Also remember that The Liberty Tree Lantern has predicted the very possible, but not definite, collapse of “The Matrix” (see previous post from over a month ago), due to oscillations caused by the money and power required to control The U.S. Government and every man, woman and child that lives in “The (financial) Matrix” false world we find ourselves in.   “The Matrix” very well could collapse and leave exposed the “real” world that truly exists out side of the plain of “non-reality” that has been programmed in our minds by The Federal Reserve “System” through The U.S. Government (especially both houses of Congress) and the public school system which is sponsored by Government by money lent to it by The Federal Reserve System, the ultimate mind bending programmers of “The Matrix”.

Will it matter if Obama or McCain are elected in November? Hardly.

Both are rigidly backed by important members of the Trilateral Commission who hijacked the Executive Brach of the U.S. government starting in 1976 with the election of Jimmy Carter.

In Obama’s case, Zbigniew Brzezinski (co-founder of the Commission in 1973) is emerging as his principal advisor on foreign policy. Ex-Fed Chairman Paul Volker has made a once-in-a-lifetime, glowing endorsement of Obama. Madelyn Albright is seen sitting next to Obama in several conferences. Shoot, even Jimmy Carter himself endorses Obama. All are top members of the Commission.

John McCain is being supported by several Trilateral Commission giants including: Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Lawrence Eagleburger and Alexander Haig. All of these are ex-Secretaries of State who issued a joint endorsement of McCain early-on in his campaign.

And, unless Obama shoots both of his own feet (or…?) before the general presidential election in November, he is most likely to be the next president of the United States.

You would think that Americans would want to know who the “special interests” are that are embodied by this Trilateral Commission, and what they intend to do or not do with America.

What is the Trilateral Commission?

The Trilateral Commission was founded by the persistent maneuvering of David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1973. Rockefeller was chairman of the ultra-powerful Chase Manhattan Bank, a director of many major multinational corporations and “endowment funds” and had long been a central figure in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Brzezinski, a brilliant prognosticator of one-world idealism, was a professor at Columbia University and the author of several books that have served as “policy guidelines” for the Trilateral Commission.  (Capt. Karl would also like to note that David Rockefeller is just one of the private owners of The Federal Reserve System bankers who “head up” The Trilateral Commission http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZM58dulPE)

Brzezinski served as the Commission’s first executive director from its inception in 1973 until late 1976 when he was appointed by President Jimmy Carter as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

The initial Commission membership was approximately three hundred, with roughly one hundred each from Europe, Japan and North America. Membership was also roughly divided between academics, politicians and corporate magnates; these included international bankers, leaders of prominent labor unions and corporate directors of media giants.

The word commission was puzzling since it is usually associated with instrumentalities set up by governments. It seemed out of place with a so-called private group unless we could determine that it really was an arm of a government – an unseen government, different from the visible government in Washington. European and Japanese involvement indicated a world government rather than a national government. We hoped that the concept of a sub-rosa world government was just wishful thinking on the part of the Trilateral Commissioners. The facts, however, lined up quite pessimistically.

If the Council on Foreign Relations could be said to be a spawning ground for the concepts of one-world idealism, then the Trilateral Commission was the “task force” assembled to assault the beachheads. Already the Commission had placed its members in the top posts the U.S. had to offer.

Jimmy Carter: The first Trilateral president

President James Earl Carter, the country politician who promised, “I will never lie to you,” was chosen to join the Commission by Brzezinski in 1973. It was Brzezinski, in fact, who first identified Carter as presidential timber, and subsequently educated him in economics, foreign policy, and the ins-and-outs of world politics. Upon Carter’s election, Brzezinski was appointed assistant to the president for national security matters. Commonly, he was called the head of the National Security Council because he answered only to the president – some said Brzezinski held the second most powerful position in the U.S.

Carter’s running mate, Walter Mondale, was also a member of the Commission. (If you are trying to calculate the odds of three virtually unknown men, out of over sixty Commissioners from the U.S., capturing the three most powerful positions in the land, don’t bother. Your calculations will be meaningless.)

On January 7, 1977 Time Magazine, whose editor-in-chief, Hedley Donovan was a powerful Trilateral, named President Carter “Man of the Year.” The sixteen-page article in that issue not only failed to mention Carter’s connection with the Commission but also stated the following:

“As he searched for Cabinet appointees, Carter seemed at times hesitant and frustrated disconcertingly out of character. His lack of ties to Washington and the Party Establishment – qualities that helped raise him to the White House – carry potential dangers. He does not know the Federal Government or the pressures it creates. He does not really know the politicians whom he will need to help him run the country.”

Is this portrait of Carter as a political innocent simply inaccurate or was it deliberately misleading? By December 25, 1976 – two weeks before the Time article appeared – Carter had already chosen his cabinet. Three of his cabinet members – Cyrus Vance, Michael Blumenthal, and Harold Brown – were Trilateral Commissioners; and the other non-Commission members were not unsympathetic to Commission objectives and operations. In addition, Carter had appointed another fourteen Trilateral Commissioners to top government posts, including:

• C. Fred Bergsten (Under Secretary of Treasury)
• James Schlesinger (Secretary of Energy)
• Elliot Richardson (Delegate to Law of the Sea)
• Leonard Woodcock (Chief envoy to China)
• Andrew Young (Ambassador to the United Nations).

As of 25 December 1976, therefore, there were nineteen Trilaterals, including Carter and Mondale, holding tremendous political power. These presidential appointees represented almost one-third of the Trilateral Commission members from the United States. The odds of that happening “by chance” are beyond calculation!

Realities of the New World Order

In 1972, Brzezinski’s wrote that “nation-state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.”

The late Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) was one of a very few people who understood what Brzezinski was alluding to, when he issued a clear and precise warning in his 1979 book, With No Apologies:

“The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.”

Trilateral Entrenchment: 1980-2008

Every Administration since Carter has had top-level Trilateral Commission representation through the President or Vice-President, or both! George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Dick Cheney are all members.

In turn, these have appointed their Trilateral cronies to top positions in their Administrations.

For instance, six out of seven World Bank presidents have been members of the Commission. Eight out of ten USTR’s (U.S. Trade Representative) have been members. Secretaries of State include Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, Alexander Haig, George Schultz, Lawrence Eagleburger, Warren Christopher and Madeleine Albright. Yep, all members of the Trilateral Commission.

Follow the money, follow the power

You decide which is scarier: Obama and Brzezinski or McCain and Henry Kissinger?

Either way, Americans will continue to lose…

Every major crisis we face today is directly attributable to policies put forth and executed by members of this Trilateral Commission: Banking/lending/mortgage crisis, energy/gas price crisis, food/shortage/price crisis.

In addition, in the last fifteen to twenty years we have lost of millions of prime manufacturing jobs to China, India and Mexico. Our prime assets are being purchased by sovereign wealth funds and foreign investors. Our currency has all but been destroyed throughout the world.

Remember Brzezinski’s vision that “international banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state”?

Well, that’s been true enough. But, for all their acting and planning at the expense of our own prosperity and sovereignty, who wants or needs more of the same under Obama or McCain? With friends like this, who needs enemies?

For several Presidential elections now, this writer has voted according to the philosophy of choosing the “lesser of two evils.” Never again!

A vote for either Obama or McCain is a vote for the complete destruction of America!

These facts are another HUGE reason why ol’Capt. Karl is voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party.  I recommend you do too unless you wish to be captive under a one world Socialist order under the control of the owners of The Federal Reserve..

Dr. Lawrence Parks (Executive Director, Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education, FAME) writes in his white paper, What the President Should Know about our Monetary System (9/12/99), that “For a promissory note to be legally valid, it must have these four elements: 1. A ‘maker,’ i.e., a person or entity that will make payment; 2. A payee, i.e., a person or entity that will receive payment; 3. An amount to be paid; and, 4. A date certain when payment is due.

“If any of these four elements is missing, then the promissory note is deemed to be defective under the law and cannot be enforced. …”

THESE NON-”NOTES” PROMISE YOU ZERO

“When the Federal Reserve legislation was passed in 1913, the Federal Reserve was empowered to issue Federal Reserve Notes that were, in fact, promissory notes. … The maker was the Federal Reserve. The payee was the ‘Bearer.’ The amount of the note was the face amount. And the due date was ‘On Demand.’ … In 1963, Federal Reserve notes…began omitting the due date and the payee. Yet, these pieces of paper continue to be called ‘Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs).’ No longer ‘Will Pay To The Bearer On Demand’ This phrase has been removed”

“LEGAL TENDER” LAWS REQUIRE YOU TO ACCEPT PAYMENT IN FRNs

“This is material misrepresentation and constitutes fraud. … The new Federal Reserve ‘Notes’ are not valid notes. …if one identifies a piece of paper as a ‘note’ which lacks the legal requirements for being a note, it does not become a note. So, if ‘Federal Reserve Notes’ are not notes, what are they?

“In truth, they are just pieces of paper with ink on them. …”

PROMISCUOUS PRINTING OF FRNs HAS DIMINISHED YOUR SAVINGS BY 90% SINCE 1950

• “In the U.S., people are forced by law to accept ‘dollars’ for all debts public and private;

• “‘Dollars’ are created out of nothing by the U.S. banking system — mostly by commercial banks;

• ” If, in the judgment of the Federal Reserve there needs to be additional ‘liquidity’ in the system, then the Federal Reserve may create additional ‘dollars’ in unlimited quantities. Generation of additional ‘dollars’ will dilute the purchasing power of ‘dollars’ that have been saved or promised for future payment, such as pensions;

• “Creation of new ‘dollars’ out of thin air has depreciated ‘dollar’ purchasing power by more than 90% since 1950;

• “‘Dollars’ are in no way obligations of the U.S. Government (the signatures of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Treasurer are gratuitous);

• “‘Dollars’ are tokens, i.e., …paper tickets;”

PRIVATE COMMERCIAL BANKS CREATED $5.5 TRILLION OUT OF THIN AIR

• “In 1950, there were about $150 billion in the U.S. At the end of 1998, the banking system had created an additional $6 trillion. Of that amount, about $450 billion were created by the Federal Reserve, and the balance, about $5.5 trillion, was created by a small group of privately-owned companies called commercial banks; and”

LOANS INVOLUNTARILY GUARANTEED BY SAVERS AND WORKERS MAKE BANKERS RICH

• 
  

  Article I. Section 8. The Congress shall have Power … To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States ….

  “All over the world, fiat money has been legislated legal tender. In the last century, legal tender laws were called ‘forced tender’ laws. Our Constitution does not empower the government to issue legal-tender fiat currency. Somehow, the Congress has delegated to the banking system a power that the Congress itself does not have. …”

  BANKING PROFITEERS HAVE PROSTRATED ACADEMICS AND POLITICOS

  “Another factor in the success of the fiat ‘dollar’ and the demise of honest monetary weights and measures is that the Federal Reserve has compromised the academic community. …the Fed has spent millions hiring economic faculty members as ‘consultants.’ …

  “Banks have been buying off intellectuals for more than 90 years. … The result is that more than three generations of Americans have been ‘dumbed down’ on the money issue. …”

  LEGALIZED THEFT IS PROFITABLE TO THEM AND COSTLY TO YOU

  “The essence of any fiat monetary system is that it enables fraudulent wealth-transfer from those who produce wealth — mostly working people — to those who churn out and have easy access to fiat money — mostly bankers, who get ‘interest’ and fees for generating it, Wall Street firms who garner transaction fees for moving it around, and large credit-worthy borrowers. …

  “Fiat money is not wealth; it is merely a potential claim on wealth. As people realize that the real wealth on which the fiat money has a potential claim does not exist, the fiat money is said to ‘melt.’ When fiat money melts, interest rates increase, the purchasing power of savings, pensions, and all forms of future payments denominated in the fiat money are greatly reduced, and people lose their jobs — all through no fault of their own. …”

  IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE

  “As a result, government, upon which people rely to ‘regulate’ the generation of the fiat money, is discredited, and most times people change their form of government. …

  “At the time of the American Revolution, Americans were repulsed by their experience with the fiat money of the day: continentals. There was even a derogatory saying ‘not worth a continental.’ As a result, the Constitution provided for gold- and/or silver-as-money; …

  “When Andrew Jackson ran for President in 1832, he opposed paper money and the Bank of the United States. His rallying cry was ‘Gold is the friend of the farmer’ [and the worker] — and Jackson won!” (read Jackson’s Veto of Bank of the U.S.)

Justin Raimondo, in the November edition of Chronicles, quotes a speech by Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, father of the aviator, in which Lindbergh asserts that “Wall Street, backed by Morgan, Rockefeller, and others, would control the [Federal] Reserve Association, and those again, backed by all the deposits and disbursements of the United States and also backed by the deposits of the national banks holding the private funds of the people…would be the most wonderful machinery that finite beings could invent to take control of the world.”

WORLD WAR ONE WAS INSTIGATED FOR POWER AND PROFIT

Concerning World War I, “This machinery, once set in motion, was inexorable, and its sinister purpose soon became apparent to Lindbergh. As war broke out in Europe and the Lusitania sank beneath the waves, the hope that the United States might stay out of the carnage went straight to oblivion: Lindbergh wrote in a letter to his daughter Eva that ‘we are going in as soon as the country can be sufficiently propagandized into the war mania.’

“While progressives throughout the Midwest opposed the war instinctively, Lindbergh had a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the causes of the coming conflict. In 1915, he published two issues of a magazine, Real Needs, in which he indicted the ‘Money Trust’ and the ’subsidized’ press for scheming to lure us into the European imbroglio.”

IF CONGRESS HAD NOT ABANDONED HARD MONEY, U.S. TAXPAYERS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN INDENTURED TO FINANCE EUROPE’S WAR

“He pointed out that ‘the Wall Street end of the Federal Reserve System’ was the financial pillar of the Allies: The resources of the U.S. Treasury and depositors’ funds were marshaled in the service of the British and French empires. As Murray N. Rothbard put it in Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy, World War I could not have been financed by ‘the relatively hard-money, gold standard system that existed before 1914. Fortuitously, an institution was established at the end of 1913 that made the loans and war finance possible: the Federal Reserve System.’“

THE FED FACILITATED INFLATION, DEBT, AND DEFICITS

“The new machinery of power, once set in place ‘enabled the banking system to inflate money and credit, finance loans to the Allies, and float massive deficits once the U.S. entered the war.’

“As the war hysteria reached new heights and Wilson edged toward intervention, Lindbergh charged that ‘invisible organizers’ had ‘buncoed’ the American people on the war question. But they were not invisible to the congressman from Minnesota: ‘Amid all this confusion the lords of special privilege stand serene in their selfish glee, coining billions of profit from the rage of war. They coldly register every volley of artillery, every act of violent aggression, as a profit on their war stock and war contracts.’ The ‘dollar plutocracy,’ not the Kaiser, was ‘the greatest foe of humanity.’“
