Oh, and I almost forgot the OTHER reason why the US economy "seems to be growing". Oil Prices. Yes, we now pay something like 40% more for gasoline, and THAT has caused our GNP to "increase" but in reality in merely compounds the huge DECREASE in disposable income as indicated by the dropping income for US workers. Yes, I must say that is the one thing that Bush has been MOST successful at. Taking money from America's hard working middle & lower classes and putting it into the hands of the wealthy, especially the oil barons who are making RECORD profits this year. Thank you Bush!
Actually Skip, Bush and his cronies thank YOU for making their oil investments equally as profitable this year!
Lets see now. Democrat or republican....republican or democrat. Which one is screwing the American people out of better incomes? Republicans help thier rich buddies; democrats help thier rich buddies. Repubs, (normally lawyers), lie to and use the people for thier own ends; demos, (also normally lawyers), do the same. Some say the repubs follow the Christian right, (i.e. Falwell, et al); some say the demos follow the Christian left, (i.e. Shapton, et al). Either violates seperation of church and state. Now the demos promised so much (jobs, a better life), for the poor people and have for decades - we still have poor people, only through the goodness of demos, they now have food stamps and other unearned gratuities. The repubs promise jobs and a better way of life for the poor people. They don't deliver. We still have poor people. What I am saying is, whether a turd has lain on the sidewalk for 3 minutes ( our new president) or 3 days,(our last president) it is still a turd; it does not matter who is president, if you were hungry yesterday, if you are hungry today, then they don't care if you starve to death tomorrow. And the general public is going to stay hungry as long as there is a choice between a dime for them (our keepers), or a loaf of bread for us, (the beggars). We had some great and wonderfull forefathers - the founders of this country. They strove for a government that was for the people. There was a time prior to our war for independence from England that this country was extremely profitable. The renowned Ben Franklin said that there were no poor houses in this country because there was no need for them. At the same time England was full of them. The reason we did so well then and are doing so badly now? Then our government issued our currency based on our actual wealth. We did not borrow into dept from a place called the Federal Reserve Bank. The money then was called 'Colonial Script'. The English bankers did not like this and so worked to implement prohibition on Colonial Money. Which happened. From an article in my files: This, and not tea taxes, was the cause of our war with England, according to Franklin: I suggest that you look into the Federal Reserve Bank and the history of same. They are based on the same matters of usury as the English banks. So, as you see, by this post, that it is neither democrat or republican that is keeping us poor, it is the allowance by both parties to the FBRs domination of the people for money. (In case anyone has missed what I am saying, the FRB creates money from thin air and loans it to the US government for interest. In other words, the money in your pocket, bank account, etc is owed to the FRB plus interest. Your money is worth less than the paper and ink it is made from.) Lincoln had this to say about banking practices such as those of the FRB: And this: John F. Kennedy, just months before his execution, signed a bill that took back the powers of money handling from the FRB and reinstated it into the hands of the US government. Although a law, it has never been inacted. Has anyone here heard of the 'silver certificates'? They are bills that Kennedy had issued prior to his death. Thier value was based on the amount of silver the US owed. They were interest free notes, (in other words, not borrowed from the FRB) and thier value went up with the value of silver and not down because a handfull of money grubers dictated the 'value' of the dollar from day to day. Anyway, cry and moan as you will about your enemies being republicans or being democrats in the matters of your finances. I have studied along time to learn that it is both, for they both serve the money grubbing Federal Reserve Bank. Why would they not? Kennedy died 10 days after writting these words: Thier value was based on the amount of silver the US owed. Should read as: Thier value was based on the amount of silver the US owned. The n wont go in when I edit.
I forgot to ask, who is loaning money to the US government to fight the war in Iraq? Who will collect interest from Haliburton and the US for the loans needed to rebuild Iraq? Who said this? Baron de Rothschild
That's a fascinating perspective. But how would we go about reverting back to the old way and shutting down the FRB?
I have half a truck load of information on different things that I have found evidence on or against on many different topics,(as do my attorneys). Unfortunately, they are unorganized,( not my lawyers, my files), and so I have put myself in a sad position of trying to locate quotes and such when I need them. Someday I'll spend a week to 'square it up'. Even though there was a time I had little respect for JFK, now I know what "Profiles in Courage" truely is. What can we do, you ask? You tell me, brother. The rich own this country, and they are neither republican nor democrat, or both. Your enemy is not your president, either your neighbor, but your money and power worshippers. Although I speak and act anti-liberals, truth is my beliefs are much the same as thiers: I want the truth and nothing less. But that is the reality of all patriots, rather liberal or conservative.
Um, and these questions have WHAT ALL to do with the subject of this thread? You have changed the subject for the last time, dude.
