Thanks for posting.

Parts 1, 2, & 3 are a great synopsis of the damage done, and hold private global bankers have on the U.S.

Thanks,

Another good reference. The more I read about global banking, the more I understand the way bankers and financiers are portrayed in old black and white movies.

I wish more people understood the damage the Fed has done to this country. Interestingly, many immigrants from the old soviet union get it.

Trying to get rid of the so called Federal Reserve is one of the fastest ways to get assassinated. Slavery still exists of course. It is just carefully disguised.

The Federal Reserve is the mechanism whereby Congress ducks its constitutional responsibility to “coin money and regulate the value thereof.”

Excellent— read it all. Got to credit Ron Paul for focusing suspicion on the Federal Reserve

Thank you! I was 50 years old before I learned about the Federal Reserve.

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others
around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure, a one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” David Rockefeller

These bipartisan “powers that be” are the enemy within.

Thanks for posting the article!

A lot of us have known about the workings of the Federal Reserve since childhood. Reading the Article was as if I were sitting in my desk during grammar school again. My family is of eastern European origin, and I can still remember grandma speaking of the Rothschild's. She did not like them one bit!

Rothschild, J.P. Morgan & the Federal Reserve

Those few who can understand the system (check book money and credit) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on it favors, that there will be little opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear it burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests. -Rothschild’s Bros. of London

Now you know why.

The government and the Federal Reserve prefer to operate in the shadows. If the American public understood what their policies have done to their lives, they would be rioting in the streets.

arthurus - you've done a service to the freeper community by posting this... looking forward to more.

It was at http://seekingalpha.com/articles. The site is a catch-all for financial writers from all over. The majority are, as with money managers and finance writers in general, economics fools and charlatans but the ones who understand Economics are also there. Somehow I started getting the daily update in my email. At fist glance the first one appalled me and I almost put it on the SPAM list but I did scan down and ran into a couple of good items so I kept it when I realized it was a catchall for finance writing. Some of these guys took actual Econ classes in school and learned something. Out of a long list of articles I get every day I find one or two that are worth the trouble. I am gathering a collection of these guys.
