It’s actually far more than 500T that is exposed according to the CFTC and Director Brooksley Born. Watch:

And look what John Boehner did in June of this year:
The derivatives exposure is a bomb that the banks threaten to blow up the American economy with if they are not obeyed. They are holding a gun to the USA’s head.
We have a war to fight with banksters either now or later but it will happen. Our lives will get scary but without defeating this current crop of banking criminals we are destined to lose freedom.
This is the end game.
All of the news of ISIS, Putin and China is a distraction. It is the criminal network that controls the international banks that is the real enemy.
Look at how Congress has been bought and paid for. There is effectively no representation in Congress for Americans. All legislation is prioritized according to what banks demand. There are no bills passed that focus on reforming government to get it off the backs of ordinary Americans or that promote America’s exceptionalism or add to its border security, and so on. The Bills that pass are not for Americans, they are for international corporations.
How did the banksters seize control? Repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Bush family are the primary causes.
Brooksley is funny. She makes up good stories.
