The Federal Reserve "Explained" In 7 Minutes
As members of the world's central banks (most importantly Draghi and the ECB this week) are held up as Idols on mainstream business TV, despite their disastrous historical performances and inaccuracies, we thought it time to dust off the dark 'reality' behind the Federal Reserve - the uber-central bank... perhaps summed up nowhere better than in the words of former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan himself... "There is no other agency of government which can over-rule actions that we take."

If you don't have 7 minutes:
"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out."Andrew Jackson
If you say tribe robed you, you will be labeled antisystematic.

Very good video! Short and clear. Light enough for the dumbed down sheeple to understand. I'm sending it out to as many people (sheeple!) as I can. Thanks for posting it on ZeroHedge.
I keep hearing that the Federal Reserve bill got passed when 'most' of the legislature were off on their holiday break. Yet, if you look up the numbers present there were still more than 50% in the House and the Senate. I just found this, which goes into the skullduggery rather more than Wijkipedia does (yeah, yeah, I know not to trust Wikipedia, but it usually gets its basic 'numerical' facts right):
The Glass Bill (the House version of the final Federal Reserve Act) had passed the House on September 18, 1913 by 287 to 85. On December 19, 1913, the Senate passed their version by a vote of 54-34. More than forty important differences in the House and Senate versions remained to be settled, and the opponents of the bill in both houses of Congress were led to believe that many weeks would yet elapse before the Conference bill would be ready for consideration. The Congressmen prepared to leave Washington for the annual Christmas recess, assured that the Conference bill would not be brought up until the following year. Now the money creators prepared and executed the most brilliant stroke of their plan. In a single day, they ironed out all forty of the disputed passages in the bill and quickly brought it to a vote. On Monday, December 22, 1913, the bill was passed by the House 282-60 and the Senate 43-23.

Now, I hate the Fed as much as anyone; they're a hugely detrimental organisation that enables worldwide plunder by the banking elites and everyone connected with them. But repeating easily-refuted false accusations against them just makes the uninformed masses dismissive of the real problems regarding what they do. 'Gee, these anti-Fed people can't even get the details of the Fed's founding right; why should I believe any of their wilder claims?'
its all part of the feds plan and true dual mandate.
capture all assets through boom and bust it creates, and enslave a free people to debt.
He went through all the trouble to produce an informative video for you to watch, the least you could do is entertain his sales pitch...or ignore it.
I am Chumbawamba.
I agree this really doesn't EXPLAIN much at all. No mention of who or what a rothchild is. Sadly most young people these days dont know what one is.
Fuck the tribe, hang them high.
They will get their due one day soon just like they did in every European country they infested over the past 1400yrs. Bernanke and Golum Greedscam will pay dearly for their crimes against humanity, hanging high from the roof tops as a warning to the rest of the criminal, psychopathic tribe. Fuck the Fed.
i thought we ruled and controlled all the european countires over the past 1400 years . . and everywhere else. get your story straight you backwards a#$ fU(%
no you.
LOL...Guess you would like to think so in your delusional fantasy. The vermin have tried and failed as they always do. Being the insane psychopaths they are, they never seem to learn to treat others with dignity and respect and to maybe have some loyalty to the country that they are supposedly a part of. But alas, they refuse as their "holy" book the TowelMudd tells them that they are GOD'S chosen and are therefore entitled to treat all of us lesser sub-human goy as cattle and to exploit us as much as they see fit. Pretty good way to treat your fellow man huh?
In the common era, One need look no further than the Semetic Palistinian peoples and what the Apartheid state Israhell has done to these poor human beings to get an idea of the kind of respect the tribe has for anybody not being a member of this parasitic group of traitors to humanity. The federal reserve is just another example what malevolent, Machiavellian psychopaths these slime balls really are. Get your history straight
"Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer." - Harold Wallace Rosenthal
"Most Gentiles don't believe in Lucifer....but we will live our lives as if we do." - Jumbotron
They will get their due one day soon just like they did in every European country they infested over the past 1400yrs.
I'm sorry? The only 'Jews' who got their 'due' were the everyday Jewish folk who were no better or worse than anyone else.
The financial elites - many of whom are (at least nominally) 'Jewish' weren't the ones getting their houses burnt down and their land stolen or their children slaughtered before their eyes. They were the ones doing the goading and then lending the anti-Semites 'money' to buy their weapons, while lending their 'opposing' countries money to buy weapons to stop them.
The average Jew might be rather more inclined to support Zionism than s/he should, but s/he's no more responsible for the actions of the elites than goy voters are. And theres a lot more goys who dutifully turn out and perpetuate the Establishment, so, frankly, I don't think it's the Jews who are the main problem here.
yeh, good luck with that. how many nukes do you have?
Awwww, poor little megaphoney Israeli/wall st. jew feeling threatened? Is that an admission we just heard that Israhell actually has nukes then? I thought little old helpless Israhell didn't have any nukes, and that is why they feel so insecure about big, bad Iran getting them---fol the last 30 yrs.
You Israhell shills never cease to amaze. I guess we are anti-semites if we want to end the Fed, right? Oh, but that would be an admission that you do control our fiat currency system. Can't talk about that now can we. Just like we goy can't talk about how Jews have a stanglehold on our media, but yet the tribe of psychopaths love to brag about it in their publications. Can't actually call a spade a spade any more. No liberty for you slave. move along....
well, i guess i'm an anti-semite also because i'd like to end the fed. i wish i controlled the fiat currency system, but unfortunately i don't, instead i get beaten down by it just like most everyone, including most jews. Glad you've figured out that since a high proportion of the people benefitting from the system are jews that being jewish or jews in general has anything to do with that fact. Logical reasoning much?
You are just a whining, biggoted pos who would probably be more than happy to abuse a fiat currency system also if you could only figure out how to get in the club that gets to do that. Too bad you can't.
As long as the tribe doesn't disrobe you....
Except they aren't the ones who control the Fed, that would be our Luciferian Oligarchs, who are not Jewish. Real important to point the pitchforks in the right direction.
Well, that's one President I'd trust to use drones in a responsible manner.
<-----Tribe robed America
<-----American are responsible for their own misery.
<--- False dichotomy. All of the above.
Both are true.
Yeah, and I hate this robe!
"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you ..."
Andrew Jackson, President of the United States
The year 1833
Like there's much of a difference between the 2nd Bank of the US and the 3rd Bank of the US?
Andrew Jackson was a wise, brave and strong-willed president with a backbone.
Hard to find people like that these days, when Money Trust is running the show.
Obama - a dimwit pretentious coward
GW Bush - a semi-illiterate borderline mental retard (and a college era drunk & druggie)
...
A candidate that has the audacity to challenge the Federal Reserve and the interests of the military industrial complex simply don't stand a chance of getting elected.
And if you do not believe that check with Kennedy, Lincoln, Jackson and McKinley. Of course the guns did not go off during the attempted assassination of Jackson.
Like 911,
Its just an amazing chain of coincidence
Like sick crimes within the familiy
People have the hardest time
Admiting overwhelming evidence
Of ugly incestuous truths
Committed by their protectors.
You forgot James Garfield.
Jackson's head stone reads "I killed the bank". Of course soon after the queen's men began issuing toilet paper once again.
Thats a lie spread by that money masters video. There's no evidence it's on Jackson's grave but I imagine he said it a time or two in his life. It's a sad disgrace he's now on the $20... it's like their purposefully fucking with those of us who are awake...
"It's a sad disgrace he's now on the $20..."
And Lincoln is on the $5, and Grant on the $50, and Franklin on the $100, and Washington on the $1. Every person who's opposed the central bank is now glorified on their notes. That is the ultimate "Fuck you!" if there ever was one.
Well Alexander Hamilton is on one of those pieces of toilet paper.
That's a loving tribute.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bank_of_the_United_States
Alexander Hamilton was capped by Jackson's vice president.
This is worthy of WB7 and deserves to be on a million T-Shirts.....

Here's one of Andrew Jackson slaying his version of the Vampire Squid.
Nothing ever changes it seems.

Going to look for a big poster of that picture and frame it. Would be a nice addition to my home.
where do I buy one!
Don't forget Kennedy.... they gave him his own coin as a token of their appreciation
Yes, the Jackson $20 pisses me as bad as the hoopla around Kennedy's 50th death anniversary...any true respect to either of these men wouldn't be just jamming their collective victories up our collective asses....
Any good source to substantiate correcting that "error?"
Read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin for the longer version... gotta give the man props. He wrote that book 20 years ago...
Yes sir - many props to Edward G. Sad that so few know him.
Even fewer people know Eustace Mullins, who had written about the dirty secrets of the Federal Reserve long before Edward Griffin.
In fact, Griffin might have used Mullins' book both as a source and model.
There some good Mullins videos on YouTube
Along with Anthony Sutton,Eustace Mullins two great unsung contempoary American historians.
Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins
Great book, and I got my copy for free with a silver eagle ^^
I'm about half way through. I went to Barnes and Noble but they were out of copy. The Young kid behind the counter said he has seen a lot of them sold and he asked 'what kind of creature?" I said, "the one that steals you blind."
Great book. Also try "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" by Eustace Mullins. It's said it is the most plagerised work on the subject. Mullins worked at the library of congress and was commissioned by Ezra Pound to complete the work. The final revesion was over 50 years in the making. Interestingly, it was the only book ever burned post WWII in Germany, even though he doesn't make a single mention of the players ethnicity...
My daughter is at an age where she is getting very curious about money. She wants to know what it is, where it comes from, who gets it, and being a ZH resident I find myself in a strange position. I can't explain it to her and have it make sense. If I tell her the truth - like it is, she'll think I'm am idiot. She knows a thing or two about what's fair and what's not. There is nothing fair or logical about fiat fractional reserve banking outside of the circle that operates the scam, and it does take an idiot to accept it as normal.
Tell her the truth. Not too long, not too complex. She will get it.
Just the other day I explained to her that there were some people (namely bankers) who made money by doing nothing and unlike them, I had to do hard work, to earn cash in little increments. We later encountered a panhandler. When I explained to her what the man wanted, her immediate conclusion was that he was a banker.
Money is an information system. It carries multiple streams simultaneously. About peoples needs and wants. It keeps score of work and ingenuity. It tells us about the relative value of things, of what is produced, consumed, of human, natural, capital, resources. It organizes our activities to provide for ourselves fairly effectively.
But it has some rather large holes. Score keeping can gamed easily. But fungibility is more important. People need food clothing, shelter, daily. Measurement of imagination, creativity, potential is quite limited and backward looking.
Fractional reserve lending as money supply regulator to match economic activity and growth is good in theory. It requires however laws, regulations,practices that all parties have skin in the game. That is it is in their self interest that loans are responsible.
But cheating on a massive scale from the top down seems to be inevitable. At this point understanding the OPM biz and how it works becomes critical.
Then if your daughter can understand that every society is a collective. That every society makes choices about how to organize activities to achieve goals through individual actions, voluntary actions among individuals, and coercive collective actions. If she can understand the role measurement plays in the two extremes of organized activities ie small business vs big government and what is in between, well then she will be way way ahead of the game.
Information systems are energy systems. Money is measurement backed by murder. Tough to explain THAT FACT to a 10 year old girl!
lend her a dollar and tell her she needs to give you a $1.50 in return in 4 weeks.
Then explain that that dollar is the only one in existence.
she'll be puzzled..assure her you'll lend her the $1.50 when the interest payment comes due..
tell the truth, IOW..
I did the same thing to a group of adults and they had a hard time understanding. Children will understand because they are not totally corrupt.
My children are young and are very aware on not just the banking system but even how the educational system is a bunch of shit. I tell them how it is and they have accepted it. Its nice having a conversation with children who understand how the world operates.
Tell her that money is just irredemable debt of differing time durations. As currency it is irredemable immediately, if a treasury bill irredemable within a year, if a treasury note irredemable between 2 and 10 years and if a bond it is irredemable in a longer period of time of over 10 years.
EXCEPT you mean "redeemable" on duration. Perhaps someday it will be irredeemable such as are Confederate States of America notes.
And it is called a note on the face of it so the kid can look that up easily.
I have a huge problem with the script of, "We The People" on the ten.
No, it is irredeemable right now. The language on currency for instance now does not qualify as a promissary note. It can be redeemed presently for nothing. Likewise bills, notes, etc. are redeemed for that that is irredeemable. The last currency that met the qualifications as a promissary note was a silver certificate. The use of the word irredeemable was an integral part of the joke and the joke we are living in case you missed it.
Banker tycoon Nathan Rothschild said in the early 1800s: “The man who controls the British money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the money supply.”
G. Edward Griffin explains: “[W]hen the money is created out of nothing for the government it is spent by the government. On the banking side, however, when money’s created out of nothing it's not spent by the banks it is loaned by the banks to you and to me and we spend it. Notice that when they loan it to us we have to pay them interest on it. Think about this for a minute. This money was created out of nothing and yet they collect interest on it which means that they collect interest on nothing. Not too shabby!”
And, thus, America, by relinquishing her constitutional duty to issue her own currency and thereby control its buying power and pay interest to no one, became a debtor nation to the international bankers.
Which brings to mind…
Are Financial Markets Rigged? Treasurys Are “Screaming Crisis” While Stocks Yawn
By Pam Martens
Global Research, June 02, 2014
wallstreetonparade.com
On March 30, bestselling author Michael Lewis appeared on 60 Minutes to summarize the findings in his newest book, Flash Boys, as follows: “stock market’s rigged.” Michael Lewis was talking about stock market manipulation by high frequency traders.
Increasingly, the U.S. bond market is delivering almost the same message as Michael Lewis. The U.S. Treasury market, which is experiencing a flight to safety (that suggests a slowing economy, lower corporate earnings and thus a lower stock market in the future) is essentially saying that the current composite wisdom of the stock market is either nuts or the market is, indeed, rigged.
Stocks have been setting new highs of late while the yields on the benchmark 10-year and 30-year Treasurys decline. The 10-year Treasury began the year at a yield of approximately 3 percent and closed on Friday at a yield of 2.49. The 30-year Treasury started the year at a yield of approximately 4 percent and closed last week with a yield of 3.33 percent.
….
The question is, does high frequency trading and stock market rigging have anything to do with this decoupling?

The Federal Reserve: A cabal of private thieves backstopped by the violence of a criminal syndicate, government.
And if one considers, as war, the privilege of continuous theft from the American people that the DC US has Unconstitutionally bestowed upon the FedRes cabal, then Article 3, Section 3 comes into play.
"My guillotine has a cure for that."
krchisc, I am getting sick and tired of your repetition of that stupid quote about "your guillotine!" While I think that there is no reasonable doubt that "money is measurement backed by murder," your god damn stupid "guillotine" idea ignores the history of what a runaway disaster that actually became."
I am in favour of better death controls to back up better debt controls. However, you, krchisc, as well as most of those who repeat some versions of the slogan "Fuck the Fed," do not come within light years of better death control theories.
Geez, lighten up on krchisc, it's great imagery. Let me restate my suggestion, that in the future long ropes are used, strung over something rather slick, such as traffic light poles, and the candidates for public hangings be classified by such things as weight, physical ability, type of infraction, etc... So we can watch them try to climb one another, (visualize the rope sliding to and fro as each gains the ascendancy at his fellow's disadvantage).
Really, visualize Lindsey G and J. McCain climbing each other...
(And by the way, credits for being about 100 times smarter than I am, enjoy your posts, but wish you knew the Bible better.)
'cause only God's gonna fix this shit...(and soon)
'cause only God's gonna fix this shit... I express that view as that natural selection is still the back-up system for errors in natural selection.
However, I do NOT feel like "lightening up" on reactionary revolutionaries! Personally, I do NOT want to associate with reactionary revolutionaries. In my opinion, almost nobody who issues idle threats about "killing the bankers" provides any better death control theories, but rather, only promotes the same old stupid ideals which have backfired over and over again throughout history.
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" would be the actual result of any reactionary revolution. Of course, that is not to say that is not what may well eventually happen.
This is pissing me off... When I entered college 4 years ago, I was blind. Four years later, and after a year of ZH membership I am convinced ignorance is bliss. I graduated with an Economics degree from a good school, and I used to think that I want to go into finance. I did read the Creature from Jekyll Island. And I see the truth. Now what??? I feel more lost than ever.
There is a story that the Buddha's final words on his death were: "Do your best."
I don't know if that's true or not, but seems to apply to your situation. Stay consistent to what your heart tells you is true. Your soul is worth more than whatever wealth you can gain playing the game that the psychos in the system are currently playing. I wish you well.
oh, upvoted!
if you find yourself "more lost than ever" consider you've been cut free of the lies told you by your culture, and now have the opportunity to make of your life something radically different, something more in tune with your heart, something un-expected.
don't let yourSelf down!
Words of truth :-)
If you are feeling more lost than ever, then detach yourself from the strings of the system to the highest degree possible without becoming a cave man or a recluse.
The more detached you are from the debt/consumerism/entertainment treadmill, the clearer both your eyes and your soul will be able to see.
By the end of the journey you will see the light and feel light.
The red pill / bue pill choice never mentioned in college is one option involves a suppository the size of a football.
Educational institutions only offer the blue pill.
I had a similar situation. After some brief existential depression, I went with the Carlin method of divorcing my emotial reaction from political machinations. It is odd though, entering school for... it was just the next step? When I was still on the blue pill, there was just reaction without purpose, following the check boxes of the societal meme. "Go to school for the experience" or "a job" or some shit. When the ideology shifts, action must also change accordingly or else some serious cognitive dissonance sets in. For those of us who took the red pill, that means re-assessing our past and present actions to see if they fit our new ideology. If not, then one can become lost feeling. It has taken some time, but I finally feel like I'm at a point where my actions and the actions I think I need to take are becoming alligned with my ideology.
I'm soon to be an accountant. Is what I'm doing going to feed or make the situation worse for those around me? Is there actually any meaningful action that I can take now to reduce the total amount of fuckness in the financial and political systems? Is it possible that the situation is intractable? Only action guided by ideology can attempt to answer these questions for you. Think more on what you now believe and how you can apply your knowledge from econ and finance to help fight the evils we see in the financial and political arenas. Maybe this means going to work for a financial firm that you think is more ethically alligned with you rather than a sellside shit pusher. Frankly I don't think there is any better time to learn and learn very quickly in the finance sector. Its a fucking crucible. Shit, maybe you get in somewhere and mole out info to the Tylers.
I wrote part of that for me too, but I wish you luck. Don't give in. Don't give up hope. Have faith that there are at least a few others who can see the evils behind the populist facade.
Perhaps you can spend your "spare time for learning" on picking up the framework of forensic accounting. Methinks that will become a high demand specialty quite soon.
Already on it ;)
In whose service will you apply the skill of forensic auditing?
A private businessman needed an accountant. During his interview he asked "how much is one plus one?" The first two interviewees answered two. The third interviewee, upon hearing the question got up, leaned across the desk, and whispered to the interviewer, "how much do you need it to be?", he got the job.
If you are going to be an accountant, look at it as providing a valuable service that people are in need of. I'm grateful for my accountant, the tax system is so messed up I can't understand it, I'm happy to pay for a guy who does and who gets me as many breaks as possible.
Destory it from the inside.
My reply to Stifmeister:
Do you want to go THROUGH the looking glass of our Bizarro Mirror World?
How far down the rabbit hole does Alice go?
& How far up the tornado does Dorothy go?
I assert that not only does the biggest bullies' bullshit social stories dominate the monetary sytems, and the murder systems, they also dominate the philosophy of science. Therefore, the source of good intellectual scientific revolutions to respond to the problems that the Fed exemplies requires profound paradigm shifts in the ways we perceive political problems. Understanding that the Fed is based on enforced frauds barely begins to scratch the surface of the social pyramid sytems!
STOP USING FALSE FUNDAMENTAL DICHOTOMIES, AND RELATED IMPOSSIBLE IDEALS, AND INSTEAD, ATTEMPT TO USE UNITARY MECHANISMS!
I could google it but I bet your explination of unitary mechanisms is way better.
Please when/if you have time.
VWAndy, I have answered that question several times before in replies on Zero Hedge. To find my collection of those answers, you can use the links I provide below. You can download yourself that kind of material, if you click on this link: Some Monetary System articles.
Take the time to download that, and then search for the character string in that long, long thread, of " unitary mechanism " ... It would be better to do that by starting from the end, and work back to the beginning, and especially pay attention to the bold and coloured fonts!
You will then see that I have discussed the concept of "unitary mechanism" quite a lot there. In general, I have I have ended up doing that to pass the time, just like my posting comments on Zero Hedge, since the FACT that LITERALLY 99% OF THE PEOPLE ACT LIKE ZOMBIE SHEEPLE means that I HAVE NO PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS, BUT ONLY PROPOSE POLITICAL SCIENCE FICTION THEORIES!
One can NOT find my bla, bla, blah through using an Internet search engine, like Google, because my material has mostly become hidden on our Web site, in order to spare the cost of band width ... Our Web site's traffic is quite bizarre, because most of it comes from Russia! I have never understood why that was the case, but that problem became so extremely expensive a few years ago that I had to install programs that block search engines like Google from reading our Wed site, and especially from reading our Forum.
Meanwhile, I am also going to add the LINK to the video embedded above in this Zero Hedge article to my collection of
Excellent Videos on Money Systems: since it was a succinct seven minute summary that deserves to be there!
Thanks lots of good stuf.
On the good news side more regular working folks are starting to ask the good questions. People with real skills are taking notes. No they dont post crap online but they have been paying attention. That tiny % you speak of might not be that small.
"That tiny % you speak of might not be that small."
You may well be right about that, VWAndy! I have no good way to verify the degree to which more people are "waking up," since I live inside my own little world, with such a biased sample, since nobody that I personally know has not already "woken up."
People like Alex Jones claim that amongst the military personnel, it has already reached something like 50% (as shown by their funding of Ron Paul campaigns, and so forth). However, they are still suppressed from being able to express that.
The degree to which the mass media still dominates the culture, and deliberately ignores stories which do not fit into the narratives that they are paid to promote (or else would get fired) makes any objective sense of social realities and public opinions outside of that extremely difficult to sense.
I tend to believe that there are more cosmic forces as work. I understand that it is a scientific fact that planet Earth as a whole rings like a bell, and its frequency is jumping up a quantum level, from about 7 to 13, whatever that might mean ???
First ones to start asking the good questions were the go too guys. Not the chatty sort. Now its worker bees. They were always the quiet ones. Those two groups are the only ones that ever matter.
They are the ones whos labor is not being paid for. 1.7 trillion dollars of thier labor this year alone. And thats just the amount they admit. Around the world the amounts are staggering. In terms of wages and inflation of fuel/energy you cant fool me. The dollar we are paid in buys less fuel/energy by about 80%. Thats from 1980 to today. Yea they noticed.
The ones not noticing are in some way on the gravy train. Watch as tptb start attacking strikers. They cant afford to not get the labor in exchange for this fiat. The game was always about not paying full price for the labor. So its these working folks getting burned that will be the only ones that notice.
So we are all cought in a catch 22. We are fd either way. Well in that case mr krugster do it yourself ya lazy fuck with no real skills. This shit stops when we stop providing our labor without getting a fair price. Strikes will get bigger and more violent. But when one of these strikes cannot be resolved thru force or fiat. The stall will happen because it must.
I fully expect tptb to play it to the bone.
"My recommendations for using unitary mechanisms are aspects of an overall synthetic mode of thought, which attempts to reconcile and creatively integrate postmodernizing sciences with ancient mysticism, so that we could have social stories which enabled scientifically improved moralities, which would be based upon better understanding human beings and human civilizations, as general energy systems within all of the other general energy systems. Through that means, using unitary mechanisms, the realities about the ideas of private property and money could be better understood, which then might enable those things to be operated through more realistic ideals, in order to be operated better." Radical Marijuana 20APR14
Twenty years ago I thought that if SHTF, I wanted to be on a farm (damn that James Burke lol). My son and daughter came along about ten years after that and I thought I had chosen wisely. But I kept revisiting TSHTF scenario and I have never been able to reconcile my wise choice with the reality that ultimately I, or my son and daughter or my grandchildren, would find themselves surrounded and running out of ammunition! The only hope would be to try and convince the invaders that they needed to keep me around to run the farm but that was not very comforting...
So it turns out the reality of private property, the farm, was not exactly the panacea I originally thought it was. I think the same applies whether you have a freshly minted degree, a condo, or an investment portfolio. I understand the mindset of farmeresque poster LawofPhysics, or the prepper "beans bullets and bullion Bitchez", but in the end it appears we aren't "civilized" yet. Hence my fascination with the concept of unitary mechanisms and the quest for improved moralities or at least working to try and understand it a little better. Thanks RM.
Thanks for reposting that old reply of mine, MB.
As I understand it, only about 1% of people are somewhat prepared for some series of mega-disasters in some "TSHTF scenario." 99% are NOT prepared for any such events, of which there is a long and various list, any one of which may be very unlikely, but they are ALL at play, every day! Therefore, AFTER TSHTF, the people were were not sufficiently prepared will outnumber those who tried 100 to 1, which makes it very likely that one could end up surrounded and running out of ammunition!
Of course, that is NOT to say do not try to be prepared, only to say that any sufficient mega-disaster TSHTF is practically impossible to prepare for. Our entire civilization is NOT prepared, for even obvious things like a mega Solar Flare, like another Carrington Event.
Our screwy society, dominated by people who run monopolies that make most people vulnerable and dependent on centralized systems, is the WORST collective long term strategy for survival. However, those who were the best at being dishonest, and backing that up with violence, in the short-term, have pretty well forced the rest of civilization to become a slave society, which is extremely vulnerable.
There would temporarily be an extreme asymmetry, where there would be things like trillionaire dollar underground bunkers, as the preparations made by some people, while hundreds of millions of other people would be put through a meat grinder, where the 99% NOT prepared target the 1% that were prepared.
As is well-known, there are dozens and dozens of famous science fiction novels that have discussed the possible versions of those events. Personally, I am NOT prepared. I can NOT imagine actually being forced to survive by attempting to physically rob other people. There is absolutely nothing that has ever remotely been like that in my life so far ... I doubt that I would be able to adapt fast enough to become one of the few survivors.
Meanwhile, I would rather attempt to work towards the apparently impossible goal of changing the government, as the best way to try to prepare ... although I would accept the criticism that that was probably just me being NUTS in my own way, since that brings us right back to the source of the problems, that there generally are 99% of the population who are acting like Zombie Sheeple, and so, are way too easy to continue to be controlled to live in a society dominated by systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, which direct civilization to continue to behave in ways which are the WORST possible ways to NOT be prepared for the future, due to that driving monopolization, and the centralized systems, upon which most people depend, despite those kinds of centralized monopoly systems being extremely vulnerable to any disruptions.
The rabbit hole only gets deeper and more depressing. Stop digging now if its hard. It gets much worse. Ignorance in indeed bliss.
Once your mind is introduced to new ideas there is no going back. We must wake up and fight.
"Once your mind is introduced to new ideas there is no going back."
Amen to that, Ocean 22!
How?
How do we fight back likethe video says?
How?
Educate others, wake up as many people as you can.
Doing what vie says is education in action. Its the termite principle, everyone should take a little bite, eventually the house of evil will come tumbling down.
Pretty simple actually... and incredibly hard at the same time... Just stop using fiat currency and it's derivatives (like fiat based credit cards and bank accounts).
Bitcoin, Gold, Silver, Barter are all good options. In fact, once you learn to barter you'll be largely free as well as anyone you do business with to a degree.
All it takes is for enough of the "little people" at the bottom of the pyramid to stop supporting it and the whole thing collapses on it's own.
"No other government agency ...."
Doesn't the federal reserve constantly claim not to be a federal agency? Therefore freedom of information and procedural due process don't apply. He kinda forgot the party line
The Fed would not exist without the process of the government of the USA passing legislation to make the Fed exist. The deeper problem is that governments are the biggest form of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, which currently happen to be the biggest gangsters, known as the banksters. The Fed exists because of the ways that the methods of organized crime ARE able to dominate the political processe, through prolonged and persistent bribery, intimidation, and assassination of those who could not be bribed or intimidated. Therefore, these days about 99% of politicians who have "successful" careers are the banksters' puppets.
Within the 1% that still provides some controlled opposition, about 99% of them are reactionary revolutionaries, or Black Sheeple, who urge "solutions" based on going backwards to some old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies, and related impossible ideals, which always actually make the opposite happen in the real world.
MONEY IS MEASUREMENT BACKED BY MURDER.
DEBT CONTROLS DEPEND ON DEATH CONTROLS.
That is WHY the banksters, as the biggest gangsters, WERE able to make and maintain the Fed, and the deliberate denial and/or ignorance of those fundamental FACTS is how the the currently established and entrenched fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting systems are enabled to continue to operate.
ALMOST ALL THE "OPPOSITION" IS CONTROLLED, AND STAYS WITHIN THE SAME FRAME OF REFERENCE OF THE BIGGEST BULLIES, THE BANKSTERS, BULLSHIT SOCIAL STORIES WHEN PROPOSING THEIR BOGUS "SOLUTIONS" TO THE PROBLEMS ILLUSTRATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF THE FED, AS THE LEGALIZED FRAUDS OF PRIVATE BANKS, WHICH ARE ENFORCED BY GOVERNMENTAL POWERS!
To repeat the basic political problems, about 99% of "We the People" act like political idiots, or Zombie Sheeple, while about 99% of the controlled opposition against the banksters continue to operate within the same frame of reference as the banksters, and therefore, continue to propose "solutions" based on impossible ideals, which always continue to backfire in the real world.
What I have to say appeals to less than 1% of 1% of the people, due to the history of how, for generation after generation, the banksters have been able dominate the funding of the schools and mass media. There is nothing wrong with the theory of a democratic republic operating through the rule of law. THE PROBLEM IS THE PROLONGED TRIUMPH OF THE METHODS OF ORGANIZED CRIME, CONTROLLING THE POLITICAL PROCESSES SO MUCH, FOR SO LONG, THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE BECOME UTTERLY INCOMPETENT CITIZENS.
Almost none of them will ever bother to watch a video like the one featured in this article. While, of those few that do, almost all of them will continue to propose the same old-fashioned bullshit "solutions," based on going backwards to their favourite form of nostalgic nonsense, derived from the kinds of religion or ideology that they prefer.
Better solutions to the political problems caused by the existence of the Fed require intellectual scientific revolutions, in order to understand those problems, in ways that the overwhelming vast majority of people are NOT interested in. Therefore, the most realistic predictions for the future are more runaway debt insanities provoking death insanities, while the only better resolutions of those problems have to recognize that there ARE combined money/murder systems, and nothing less than better death controls could back up better debt controls.
There is nothing wrong with the theory of a democratic republic operating through the rule of law.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE OVERWHELMING VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BECOME THE VICTIM OF THE BEST BRAINWASHING THAT MONEY COULD BUY, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THEM TO ZOMBIE SHEEPLE, THAT HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE IN THE BIGGEST BULLIES' BULLSHIT SOCIAL STORIES, WHILE ALMOST ALL THE "OPPOSITION" GROUPS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE BANKSTERS TOO, INASMUCH AS THOSE BLACK SHEEPLE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE SAME FALSE FUNDAMENTAL DICHOTOMIES AND RELATED IMPOSSIBLE IDEALS AS THE BANKSTERS DO!
Speaking of brainwashed sheeple..... Wake up folks. Hollywood is not your friend. Who controls Hollywood. ?

That little video was what I regard as classic reactionary revolution. 90% a review of the correct social facts, followed by 10% which collapses back to the old-fashioned impossible ideals as "solutions."
Any actually functioning "harmony" MUST be based on there actually being better death controls. There ARE chronic political problems inherent in the nature of life. Human beings, like ALL other living beings, can reproduce, and their reproductions can reproduce, at an exponential rate, which NO environment can endlessly sustain.
Malthus did not invent those problems out of nothing, he merely described them. The ruling classes did not create the chronic political problems. The ruling classes only developed an expedient set of solutions which benefited them. Unless something is done to prevent it, human beings will keep on reproducing and reproducing. Whatever stops that are the de facto death controls.
There are plenty of theoretical alternatives. However, merely talking about moralities which are based on the same old-fashioned impossible ideals, as typical in all the world's major religions, as well as in the hypocritical bullshit that the ruling classes also promote, have never worked before, and will not work now. They have always been deliberately unscientific, in a very paradoxical way, because success in warfare was based on deceits, and so, the real murder systems were denied, and the controlled opposition groups to the real murder systems were co-opted to go along with that denial.
What I am saying is face the facts! There already ARE combined money/murder systems, operating through the maximum possible deceits and frauds. Those ARE headed towards debt insanities, which will provoke death insanities. The ONLY theoretical solutions which are sufficient are different death controls, to back up different debt controls, so that human ecologies and industrial ecologies are actually operated in ways which enable sustainable natural ecologies to be integrated.
Spaceship Earth is in a state of mad mutiny. In that context, it is quite typical for that kind of video linked above to do what I already said, namely, relatively good identification of the real problems, followed by the collapsing back to the same old bullshit "solutions." As I said in my previous reply above, natural selection is the back-up system. Natural selection got more or less internalized as intelligence, which, as we became more conscious, necessarily means that we become aware of artificial selection.
The ACTUAL artificial selection was developed through warfare to be based on murder systems operated through the maximum possible deceits. The controlled opposition to those systems spout basically the same bullshit, that there should not be any consciousness of the operation of murder systems. My recommendations are that we should make a greater use of information, as the operational definition of higher consciousness with respect to our death controls.
Our two biggest problems are that the ruling classes actually operate the real death controls through deceits, while their controlled opposition tends to say that there should not be any death control systems whatsoever. Hence, around and around we go, without any reasonable chances to develop better death controls, between that dialectic of ruling classes operating deceitful death controls, while their controlled opposition groups say that there should not be any death control systems whatsoever.
The financial systems were built on top of that history, with the War Kings morphing into the Fraud Kings. Almost all of the debates with respect to the current American Fraud King, the Federal Reserve Board, follows the same path: deceitful debt controls, opposed by those who say that there should not be any debt controls. Those who provide good analysis of the problems with respect to the way that the Fed operates tend to almost never propose any genuinely good solutions ... just more magic words, which tend to be nostalgic nonsense about somehow being able to go backwards to an old-fashioned religion or ideology, as the source for the "solutions."
In my view, future events are more and more going to force us to come to terms more directly with these problems. I would like to imagine catalyzing those transformations. However, in the real world, without better death controls, backing up better debt controls, then the path we ARE on is for debt slavery to continue towards debt insanity, which will surely have to result in death insanities as the final consequences of too much of that, for too long.
At the present time, between the ruling classes advancing their agenda based on deceits and frauds, while the vast majority of people being ruled over are urged by reactionary revolutionaries to develop "solutions" based on impossible ideals, which can never work, we are stuck in the rut of heading towards the situations that that video indicated are probably futures, which ARE being caused now, and are being prepared to be caused more.
Resisting the banksters better can only be done through better organized crime, because it must be accepted that money is measurement backed by murder. Money exists because measurement and murder exists. "Solutions" based on there not being any money are the same as saying that measurements and murders should not exist.
More radical truth about the existing money/murder systems will NOT cause them to cease to exist. There are no genuine solutions which can be based on recommending that money no longer exist. there are no genuine solutions which can be based on recommending that murder should not longer exist. A better money/murder system is theoretically possible, through a greater use of information, and higher consciousness. However, so far, NOBODY that I am aware of being publicly significant recommending "End the Fed" follows through to provide any coherent theories regarding how that is supposed to really work through.
My view is that human realities are always organized lies operating organized robberies, in some dynamic equilibria. We can change the conditions in those equilibria, but we can not abolish them, unless the entire human species went extinct. As long as any human beings live, then the chronic political problems that are inherent in the nature of life will always exist, and have to be resolved somehow.
Better resolutions of those problems require better understanding of the deceits and frauds that the ruling classes actually employ. However, better resolutions can not be based on the impossible ideals that there will be no more deceit and no more fraud. There could only be changes in the frequencies and types of measurements, and the murders that backed those measurements up.
Everything I am saying "should" be obvious, EXCEPT all the established systems are already almost totally dominated by the ruling classes' deceits and frauds, while they controlled the "opposition" to constantly promote impossible ideals, which always backfired in the real world.
The ways that the Zombie Sheeple and the Black Sheeple think and behave are just as much of a problem as the ways that the Vicious Wolves and Domesticated Dogs think and behave, if not more so. Indeed, so far, I have watched several dozen excellent Videos on Money Systems, but not one provides good solutions that are consistent with their analysis of the problems, because every one that I am aware of collapses back to magic words based upon impossible ideals, when they turn from the existing problems, to their proposed "solutions."
I have never read anything, nor watched anything, that provided a good enough theory regarding what it would mean to substantially change the Federal Reserve Board, to go forward, rather than go backward, because I have never encountered any presentation of how to operate better death controls, in a combined money/murder system. Rather, there tends to only be the ruling classes enabled by their style of professional lying and immaculate hypocrisies, to dance around denying the social facts, while the reactionary revolutionaries reveal some of the social facts, but then proceed to present "solutions" which continue to ignore those facts too!
I continue to advocate intellectual scientific revolutions which deal with the issues of the death controls directly. Of course, I realize that practically everyone would rather not do that, which is why we are still on the path of debt insanities, headed for death insanities, as that little video demonstrates are being prepared.

Both Greenspan and Bernanke should be tried for high treason.
Bernanke perjured himself when he testified he wasn't monetizing debt.
Consider Generals Alexander, Hayden, and Clapper. Now consider Bernanke.
Think they don't have the same license to spin? :)
Calling it spin is very kind!
All we have to do as a society is stop paying for things. Stop paying your mortgage, your cell phone, electric bill, etc. Stop going to box stores, Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc. Dont need to fire a shot to revolt against the elitists. Heres the problem, nobody has the balls to do it.
Long term bills and deby will be the first to go unpaid if economic chaos takes place. The timetable on which economic events unfold is often quite uneven and this supports the possibility of an inflation scenario. A key issue being one of timing. If the price of gas jumps to $8 a gallon overnight do you buy gas and not make your car payment or stop driving the twenty miles to work?
Answer, it could be months before your car is repossessed so you buy gas. It is important to remember that debts can go unpaid and promises be left unfilled. Is this possible and if so where would that leave us? Chaos and major disruption would result from such a scenario. As we have seen from the economic crisis of 2008 and following many other unsettling developments legal actions can continue to drag on for years. More in the article below.

so look at it this way, the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting was the first Bilderberg.
The dollar at one point had substance and could be easily measured, without those qualities, it's a witches' brew controlled by the bankers....
Yeah, the word "dollar" itself once meant an exact amount of silver.
