You and a couple of others seem to be hung up on Jews. No, I'm hung up on people leaving notes around here that can be scooped up by the Dallas Morning News and used in a hit piece to paint us as a bunch of anti-Semitic wackos. You will not be on hand to explain that you meant "bankers" when you referred to Meyer Rothschild and "people of his ilk." Your note will just be there, saying what it says. I admit to a certain hostility toward these 'Federal Reserve' threads. Most of them are demonstrations of what happens when ignorance goes bad. The silliest, most outlandish theories about what money is, combined with really, really stupid ideas about what banks are about, get mixed in with thinly-disguised Marxism to create threads that are guaranteed to make anyone new here think the place is inhabited by paranoid lunatics. There are legitimate criticisms to be made about the Federal Reserve, but that's never what these threads are about. They are about people who don't know what they're talking about spewing ridiculous lies, and even total nonsense, with absolute certainty. There seem to be multiple web sites devoted to this nonsense, all of them selling pretty much the same papered-over Marxism disguised as a rant against banks. I think it makes us look like jerks to even have it around here. Nobody really knows for sure who killed Kennedy, or what brought down TWA flight 800. But a whole bunch of people know how banks work, so it's a lot harder to sell canal water about banks than about some other things. I wish the canal water about banks would just go away. |
