The Federal Reserve is a private corporation that is given the exclusive right to print US currency and loan it at interest. It acts independently of government regulation. Whoever controls the flow of money controls politics and in effect the world. We see this unfolding in front of our eyes today; with the rise in food prices, the poor people, the rich people...money is currently being transferred from your pockets to the pockets of the powers that be.
What can we do? We got to be aware of what is being done to us (common folk) and spread the knowledge to others and politicians that can help. In your city, country, you got to get the issue out there:
Stop "Fractional Reserve Banking". Get banks to keep more than 10% deposits instead of lending it out.
Get governments to print 'debt-free' money instead of letting private corporations print money at interest. (in Hong Kong, if you look into your wallet, you will see that all the bills will have ....corporation Limited, these bills are printed by private companies. However, our 10 dollar bill is printed by the Government--which means someone sees the problem and is doing something about it).
These two points are enough to get the tides turning. If we don't do anything about it now, if we don't get prepared to fight this, then, our future will become a Master/Servant society, a modern serfdom. One World Government, One currency. If you switch off the noise, you can see this direction happening pretty clearly with Globalization, IMF and the World Bank.
I've posted these videos to do my part in spreading the knowledge. Heavy but enlightening stuff. Video: THE FIAT EMPIRE http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5232639329002339531&q=the+fiat+empire&ei=6IxcSLiKO5CAwgOu7vDYCg&hl=en The Fiat Empire, is an introduction into this issue of Banking Cartels and printing money. It's about an hour long and gives you the essence of the problem of money we are facing. Also, the kind of deception that is being played on us. It's got a hopeful ending and that is: we can change the tides by waking up politicians to this issue...I haven't seen Obama & McCain talk about this...they should see these videos and maybe they can really help the people by tackling this issue. If you really want the nuts and bolts you must see the next video: Video: The Money Masters http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936&q=the+money+masters&ei=wINcSKDpDYnQwgOZ9pmYBg&hl=en Made in 1996, the production quality well...and the commentary kinda dry, however , it's mammoth because it's over 3hours. If too much for one sitting, download it and watch bit by bit and if you don't understand, you can watch it again. But it really gives a clear, in-depth study of the US Monetary History and the World Monetary History. It charts to beginnings and also, the possible future. Talks about the role of the Banking Cartel in shaping world events and how there is no more gold from Fort Knox. It presents the problem logically and gives solutions to "Federal Reserve Banking" and printing currency. Check it out.
I know i posted all this up before, but, I think as long as our 'money printing system' stays the same, this will always be an issue. Apparently, if we discontinue the current system and replace it with a new 'debt-free' or 'hard money' system, situations will become better quickly.
We as a society, are distracted by media, issues of race and religion, consumption, technology, our own ambitions, daily living that we miss real issue. That's people have to understand where money comes from and from there, we can start fixing our societies problems.Be well and stay knowledgeable. PeaceGS @ SPREADINGTHETRUTH
