America: Where At Least I Think I'm Free

WARNING: READING OF THIS POST IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE AN OPEN MIND, OR TO THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN A VIRTUAL REALITY.

History of the Federal Reserve a.k.a. Central Bank:

The Panic of 1907, also known as the 1907 Bankers' Panic, was a financial crisis that occurred in the United States when the New York Stock Exchange fell close to 50% from its peak the previous year. Many believe this panic began with false rumors spread by J.P. Morgan. The 1907 panic eventually spread throughout the nation when many state and local banks and businesses entered into bankruptcy causing Americans to withdraw all their cash from banks. Primary causes of the run include a retraction of market liquidity by a number of New York City banks, loss of confidence among depositors, and the absence of a statutory lender (or central bank). Interestingly enough, J.P. Morgan "saved" the economy by loaning large sums of his own money, and convinced other New York bankers to do the same, to save up the banking system. The following year, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich established and chaired a commission to investigate the crisis and propose future solutions, leading to the creation of the Federal Reserve System. The Fed prints money for US government to use, at interest. Meaning for every $1.00 that is printed for America, America has to pay back the $1.00, plus interest. It is debt slavery to the big banks.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created the US's central bank, which main responsibilities include printing money and controlling the prices of goods to avoid another financial panic. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Act of 1913, and was quoted as saying:

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. 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 duress of a small group of dominant men."


More Financial Panics After Federal Reserve Was Created to Avoid Panics:

The Panic of 1919: Can't find much on the subject on the internet. However, in 1919 the Edge Act was passed, which gave power to international banks to own American banks. The three largest Edge Act, or foreign owned banks in the US are Citibank, HSBC International and Banco Santander International.

Panic of 1929: The Roaring Twenties, which was a precursor to the Crash, was a time of prosperity and excess, and despite warnings against speculation, many believed that the market could sustain high price levels. The euphoria and financial gains of the great bull market were shattered on Black Thursday, when share prices on the NYSE collapsed. Stock prices fell on that day and they continued to fall, at an unprecedented rate, for a full month.

In the days leading up to Black Tuesday, the market was severely unstable. Periods of selling and high volumes of trading were interspersed with brief periods of rising prices and recovery. Economist and author Jude Wanniski later correlated these swings with the prospects for passage of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which was then being debated in Congress. After the crash, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) recovered early in 1930, only to reverse and crash again, reaching a low point of the great bear market in 1932. The Dow did not return to pre-1929 levels until late 1954, and on July 8, 1932 reached its lowest level of the 20th century.

Another argument for the Crash of 1929, was the calling in of "marginal loans" by big banks. A margin loan was one made with a stock broker; the stock buyer would pay only 10% of the stock's price, yet receive 100% ownership. This meant with $100 one could own a $1,000 stock. In 1929 the brokers called in these loans, which lead to a mass sell-off of stocks, because the loans had to repaid. Add this to the fact the Federal Reserve increased the money supply of the United States by 65% during the 1920s, which led to over speculation over speculation of the real estate market in the 1920s.

Criticize and Die:

Louis McFadden, a Republican Congressman in the 1930s, hated the Federal Reserve. He believed the Fed was created by European banking interests, and even wanted to impeach President Hoover and brought conspiracy charges against the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, because he believed the Fed caused the Great Depression. Both proceedings were voted down in Congress. There were 2 assassination attempts on McFadden, and in 1936, he was finally killed by food poisoning.

Gold Bouillon Act of 1933:

This Act essentially took what little wealth Americans had at the time by taking their gold and silver. President Franklin Roosevelt, called in all gold and silver owned by Americans. The executive order was not meant to be permanent, but it became permanent. The act also gave more power to the Federal Reserve, because now it could control interest rates--when before, because American money was on the gold standard--interest was controlled by gold. Ever since, American money has been "legal tender". The definition of tender: soft, not strong; easily distressed; painfully sensitive. American money is only accepted as payment, because the government says so.

Could FDR have other motives? In a biography, by Henry F. Pringle, it is recognized that FDR's uncle James A. Roosevelt, was a prominent banker. How sure are we the Roosevelt's didn't make off like bandits during the Great Depression? The Great Depression caused massive sell offs and companies like J.P. Morgan and Lehman Brothers bought businesses for pennies on the dollar. It was the biggest theft in American History.

Now readers, put two and two together. Many of these big companies, J.P. Morgan, Merrill Lynch, AIG, those that were created out of the Great Depression now received federal bailout money in 2008. By the way, J.P. Morgan, is now called J.P. Morgan Chase, because it merged with the Rockefeller's Chase Bank. Coincidence?

For those not familiar with the Rockefeller's, their family has owned Standard & Oil Company, which later was sold off to create Exxon, Shell, and other gas companies. Rockefellers then got in the business of banking, with Chase Bank.

Role of Bankers in Globalisation:

Trilateral Commission, Founded by David Rockefeller: In July 1972, Rockefeller called his first meeting, which was held at Rockefeller's Pocantico compound in New York's Hudson Valley. It was attended by about 250 individuals who were carefully selected and screened by Rockefeller and represented the very elite of finance and industry.

A Trilateral Commission Task Force Report, presented at the 1975 meeting in Kyoto, Japan, called An Outline for Remaking World Trade and Finance, said: "Close Trilateral cooperation in keeping the peace, in managing the world economy, and in fostering economic development and in alleviating world poverty, will improve the chances of a smooth and peaceful evolution of the global system."

Another Commission document read:
"The overriding goal is to make the world safe for interdependence by protecting the benefits which it provides for each country against external and internal threats which will constantly emerge from those willing to pay a price for more national autonomy. This may sometimes require slowing the pace at which interdependence proceeds, and checking some aspects of it. More frequently however, it will call for checking the intrusion of national government into the international exchange of both economic and non-economic goods."

Translation: Get rid of countries, a.k.a. autonomy, and make each country dependent on other countries, a.k.a. interdependence, and limit the power of national government into the global economy, a.k.a. "free trade".

In his 2008 book "Making Government Work," former South Carolina Senator Ernest Hollings cited the Trilateral Commission as a negative influence on President Carter in his pro free trade and U.S. textile job killing policies.

Bilderberg Group: The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in The Netherlands, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. The meeting was initiated by several people, including Joseph Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of United States of America and Western Europe.

Heads of state have attended meetings, including Juan Carlos I of Spain and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. While serving members of government do not usually attend, prominent politicians from North America and Europe are past attendees. In recent years, board members from many large publicly-traded corporations have attended, including IBM, Xerox, Royal Dutch Shell, Nokia and Daimler.

Jonathan Duffy, writing in BBC News Online Magazine states "No reporters are invited in and while confidential minutes of meetings are taken, names are not noted." However, some news reports are recently beginning to pop up in the media.

Council on Foreign Relations: The Council's mission is promoting understanding of foreign policy and the United States' role in the world. Meetings are convened at which government officials, global leaders and prominent members debate major foreign-policy issues. It has a think tank that employs prominent scholars in international affairs and it commissions subsequent books and reports. A central aim of the Council, it states, is to "find and nurture the next generation of foreign policy leaders."

Consequently, J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller have made considerable donations to the CFR, along with 26 other American corporations, making the CFR an arm of corporate interests.

Never Heard of It?

That's just what these organizations want. Here's a quote from David Rockefeller, made in 1991 at a Bilderberg Meeting:

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years."

He went on to explain:

"It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty (global) of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination (national interests) practiced in past centuries."

-- David Rockefeller, Speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton and by Dan Quayle)

The quote comes from www.fdrs.org on several sites, however you have to have a login in order to access this site in order to verify the quote. Coincidence?

Not to mention, major media elite has attended several of these "top secret" meetings. Like, Katherine Gram, owner of the Washington Post, and Conrad Black, major media mongol in Canada and Europe.

Add that together with the fact the American Media is owned by merely six companies. Sure, you have hundreds and hundreds of channels to chose from, but what you watch on all those channels are put out by only six companies. Yea, there are 30 magazines and hundreds of newspapers, but you only read what six media companies want you to read:

1. News Corporation
2. NBC Universal
3. CBS Corporation
4. Time Warner
5. Walt Disney Company
6. Cox Enterprises

Infiltration Into Education System:

In 1985, the United States ranked first in the world in education. In a 2005 study, it was found American students achieved lower scores than Japan, China, and India counterparts, as well as other countries. Why is this? First of all, you have the creation of the US Department of Education in 1979. Past presidential candidates Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole, and Ron Paul all wanted to abolish the US Department of Education.

The Republican Party's platform in the 1990s read: The Federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school curricula or to control jobs in the market place. This is why we will abolish the Department of Education, end federal meddling in our schools, and promote family choice at all levels of learning. However, George W. Bush failed to push this idea through.

From the creation of the Dept. of Education, you have federal laws that dictate to schools how students need to be taught. The curriculum is born from the National Education Association, which was/is funded by the Rockfellers, Caragenies, and Morgans.

In summary, Rockefeller and company fund the NEA, which in turn spit out American education curriculum, that makes American students dumber compared to other countries. Coincidence?

Let's look at why big banking elitists like the Rockefellers want dumb Americans.

In our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present education conventions of intellectual and character education fade from their minds, and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people, or any of their children, into philosophers, or men of science. We have not to raise up from them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen – of whom we have an ample supply. The task is simple. We will organize children and teach them in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
John D. Rockefeller General Education Board (1906)

Translation: The aim of education is to form a perfect labor force, that does not critically think, but merely does a simple task well. Look around you, children all over the US are going to school wearing uniforms; just like they would go to work wearing uniforms. The best children are labeled "academically gifted", the parents cheer at such an achievement! YEA, my kid is smart. But, as a former AG student myself, let me tell you, I was not exposed to higher levels of math, science, or reading. My AG class merely went on field trips and played computer games like Oregon Trail.

Put all this together folks. A small group of bankers has owned this country for the last 100 years. In the last 100 years, our economy has weakened (Americans do not have gold), jobs have went overseas, and the education system is failing. Seems to me this handful of controlling elitists want to transform America into the land of workers, slaves to the banker and corporations, which will run the world. Unless we stop them.
