The American Monetary Institute is a publicly supported charity founded in 1996. The real outcomes in society – whether there will be general economic justice or corrupt financial privileges for the few – are usually determined by the structure of a society’s monetary system.

Is Liz smiling or just gritting her teeth? My advice to HRH--if you need some fast cash sell that Ipod Moose gave you and also the Churchhill bust Big O returned.
She's not HRH - she is "Her Majesty". ;-)
I think he meant Her Royal Hagness.
Now, that sounds feasible. I am just not familiar enough with english to know such subtleties. ;-)
If you look at the pic for a minute, you might notice that she has a whole lot of Liver spots on her hands and arms.
I think I need another drink...
The CLOWN QUEEN and DEBT BRO! Who's the wookie in the picture, anyway?
I'll see your Queen and raise you a pair of Jack-asses!
No respect for your elders and betters. What would your mothers say???
You could raise a damn fine potato crop in the cracks and wrinkles in that old broad.
She's not HRH - she is "Her Majesty". ;-)
That and $5 gets you a latte at SB's.
I should mention that this image was the first Debt Bro image.
So, I guess they shaved the Wookie for this photoshoot?
Moochelle looks like she just swallowed a porcupine.
(I'm sure we'll both be hearing from PETA in the morning).
Dear PETA... Bite me!
No matter what expression is on the wookie's face, I always see a seething malevolence. Same with Shitlery.
Hey Banzaii, did you modify the wookies face or is that the actual photo?
That is her actual expression
Yikes!
And yet people are still looking for evidence that there is something wrong with Obama.
As Dad liked to say,
"looks like the south end of a mule, headed north."
Debt bro is my favorite series. It had to start somewhere I suppose. I would mke only one change, well technically 2. I would make the queens afro much larger, like o, and i would do it in union jack rather than rainbow colors. fwiw. again debt bro is among best political cartoons out there. keep on keeping the grey matter twisted master banzai
That was done during my gunslinging phase. I would do 10 funny pictures in 15 minutes. I can still do that but I am more deliberative about what I post these days. It takes me 20 minutes ;-)
ironic, cause I used to take a lot more time in my performances and now I do them much faster
But the warmups takes longer.
I now write ZH comments in seconds that I used to spend several minutes thinking about first.
Yeah I know ... it shows.
O's first act in The White House was to return the Bronze bust of Churchill, on loan to The US, by Britain. Obama, the Kenyan (As opposed to the Indonesian, which he clearly became because otherwise he would not have been able to attend public schhool in Indonesia. I live there and I know the rules.) HATES white "Imperialists", as do most Marxists? The Mao Mao problem in Africa under the British,, in which his "Family" were involved, clearly tainted his views.
Which is NOT to say that I don't believe the Royal Family are parasites whose wealth was "Acquired" in a similar way to The Wall Street scum, just on a larger scale through conquests of countries and continents.
Hey, hey!!
Mau, Mauing the Flakcatchers - per Tom Wolfe 1970. It's a way of life. It is all Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton know. You know...Trayvon, Solyndra. "Tell me again what Solyndra makes." B. Huessein Obama

Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
by Tom Wolfe
Going downtown to mau-mau the bureaucrats got to be the routine practice in San Francisco. The poverty program encouraged you to go in for mau-mauing. They wouldn't have known what to do without it. The bureaucrats at City Hall and in the Office of Economic Opportunity talked "ghetto" all the time, but they didn't known any more about what was going on in the Western Addition, Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, the Mission, Chinatown, or south of Market Street than they did about Zanzibar. They didn't know where to look. They didn't even know who to ask. So what could they do? Well ... they used the Ethnic Catering Service ... right ... They sat back and waited for you to come rolling in with your certified angry militants, your guaranteed frustrated ghetto youth, looking like a bunch of wild men. Then you had your test confrontation. If you were outrageous enough, if you could shake up the bureaucrats so bad that their eyes froze into iceballs and their mouths twisted up into smiles of sheer physical panic, into shit-eating grins, so to speak--then they knew you were the real goods. They knew you were the right studs to give the poverty grants and community organizing jobs to. Otherwise they wouldn't know.
There was one genius in the art of confrontation who had mau-mauing down to what you could term a laboratory science. He had it figured out so he didn't even have to bring his boys downtown in person. He would just show up with a crocus sack full of revolvers, ice picks, fish knives, switchblades, hatchets, blackjacks, gravity knives, straight razors, hand grenades, blow guns, bazookas, Molotov cocktails, tank rippers, unbelievable stuff, and he'd dump it all out on somebody's shiny walnut conference table. He'd say "These are some of the things I took off my boys last night ... I don't know, man ... Thirty minutes ago I talked a Panther out of busting up a cop ..." And they would lay money on this man's ghetto youth patrol like it was now or never ... The Ethnic Catering Service, the bureaucrats felt like it was all real. They'd say to themselves, "We've given jobs to a hundred of the toughest hard-core youth in Hunters Point. The problem is on the way to being solved." They never inquired if the bloods they were giving the jobs were the same ones who were causing the trouble. They'd say to themselves, "We don't have to find them. They find us" ... Once the Ethnic Catering Service was on the case, they felt like they were reaching all those hard-to-reach hard-to-hold hardcore hardrock blackrage badass furious funky ghetto youth.

thanks bruce
i would say with her expenses, that she is broke, but not sure how much is subsidized.
Barry: "If you like your Queen, you can keep your Queen."
Hell, if you take everything into account, we're all broke!
These people know "money" is just slave scrip. She has more assets in land and other tangibles then any of us could ever dream of owning. When you get to that level only the flow matters, not the number.
Her offshore assets include the bloody seabed for x many miles around the whole country.
Who died and made her queen?
Oh wait, nevermind,....
one of the main problems with the world today, the average person can't spot a true satanist even when the satanist is staring them right the face.
i take it your referring to the banality of evil. the best thing the royal family has done is bring in some commoners, princess di, and kate middleton, who i think surpasses lady di, or will, as an example of grace and style and class. and lady d had a lot of it. the british just confused breeding race horses and breeding people, for their entertainment value. i used to be a brit hater, but the duchess of c is winning me over
Just the term Royal Family is unconscionable! Kings told the people that god made them the ruler of the land. Either that word and the people who are still considered royals should be banned or we really need to rethink the past 500 years of evolution and progress. In other words, Fuck the queen!
most "leaders" around the world are compromised. they try and hide it, but their actions betray their true loyalty.
Silk stockings will do that to a guy.
