"We pay them every year in order to be supposedly free of the British rule."

If you are joking, that's cute.

If you are serious, you are a Froot-Loop.

I do not think that Jewish bankers are the problem.......it is people like you who refuse to see the facts and stop the Federal Reserve from controlling our economy and put us into bancruptcy....like they did back in 1929.

You'll notice that we had many more economic depressions before there was a Federal Reserve than after the Federal Reserve.

And the Grand Punjab of Kafiristan who owns the great wealth of the treasure of Alexander the Great. He (Al Magnus) was also on the Rothschild payroll, you know. I am so glad that these truths are finally coming to light.

Greenspan is the arbiter that sets the interest rate on the money we borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank, which is not Federal, and not US owned, but is made up of a consortium of banks from all over the world.

The various entities mentioned are all part of that Board of Directors, so to speak.

And Greenspan is their sock puppet. It's on his business card.
