Well, he is correct, but they didn’t limit their attack to just one tool either. Read the article - it’s very interesting.

I was very disappointed that the Fed went ahead and raised the interest rates today, but not surprised. Clearly they want to crash the economy, bring enough chaos that they think they can escape their punishment.

In addition, the Fed has played a hand in many other financial catastrophes.

As I said, the Fed’s a tool, but not the only tool. This excerpt gives some of the others:

Instruments and institutions to be used in this deliberate return to two-class society would include a shadow government surrounding each national government, weakening it until it failed;

a graduated income tax on earnings by middle class workers; a death tax to confiscate wealth of the “irresponsible” rich and the most successful middle class;

tax-exempt trusts or foundations to shelter wealth of the elite; and, a global network of privately owned central banks to control all currencies used among the nations.

Take some time to think about it. Do you see how all those things can help to take down USA and cause a depression? There’s a reason that the founders did not provide for an income tax, for example-it’s just a method to take from hard working people and give to the government to make rules designed to keep the masses poor and controllable.

Just one more reason that the USA has been the biggest impediment to their goals.
