Because This Time Is Never Different, In 100 Year Old Cartoons
Any time you feel like all the endless crime, rigging and cronyism on Wall Street and its lobbied puppets in the Capitol is something new, look at these cartoons from about 100 years ago. You will feel better that this time is not different... and much worse that in 100 years absolutely nothing has changed.
Over 100 years later, some things haven't changed. @nanexllc @zerohedge #NYSE pic.twitter.com/6lRedKJ6in

And 100 years later, the dumass public still doesn't get it.
Aldrich, Krugman, same shithead different century.
Its worse than that.
Apparently people 100 years ago understood the concepts of elasticity of credit better that the vast majority today. We've gone even further backwards.
Simply amazing cartoons... you can see the danger they presented with respect to making seemingly complicated issues crystal clear.
They are still so relevant you could run these in the WSJ and NYT today... except they probably wouldn't allow it...
yeah I wonder why lol
Don't believe a word of it.
Everyone here knows the baby boomers are responsible.
Holocaust 2.
Coming soon to a bankster-rat-hole near you.
Not a Holocaust 2...but...JUSTICE
that just repeats the cycle. if you have a parasitic niche all a society needs to do is close down the niche.
I disagree, that will just go underground or offshore. What you need to do is open up the niche to the world and make it barely profitable to operate.
The comparison of the content in the cartoons from then to now underscores the degree to which even the more intelligent of our population has been dumbed down over that time. We are doomed! Doomed!

Everybody knows.
Read Alfred Crozier's book! He sounded the alarm and did his best to try and explain exactly what would happen if the Aldrich Plan was accepted. Fortunately, the plan of 1912 was initially rejected, thanks in part to Crozier's efforts. Unfortunately, Aldrich and his boys bought off some key players that would ensure passage of the plan when they tried again the following year, 1913.
It's amazing the grasp and insight Crozier had. He was extremely accurate. Like he identifies in Part III of his book, the big banks will amass the cash and when they decide to contract the money supply, as is currently happening with the end of QE, these big banks that have amassed a mountain of cash will have a huge advantage while their smaller competitors, unable to access the Fed funds on a similar level, whither and die. Notice how many banks there were in 1912. How many more will be killed off in 2015?
In the end, it's always about two key objectives: asset transfer and destruction of competition.

Reading the book is both inspiring (everything you think about what's wrong with the financial system he illustrates step-by-step) and chilling (here is a prediction written 100 years ago whose validity is now proven by what we're living through right now).
This is the quinticential example of "hiding in plain sight".
"the dumass public still doesn't get it."
they did get it - because the media wasn't controlled back then - that's why laws were put in place to control the worst excesses i.e. the laws repealed in the 80s and 90s.
Same clowns, different names, tricked ya huh?
Here is one of the let 'em eat cake types:

Of coarse, blow was even legal back then lol.
It was in the Coca-Cola, and there's always been hookers.
yes, but which came first?
bankster or blow-whore?
Hookers of course, "oldest profession" and all that.
Banksters came after, stealing money for cash to suck thier tiny pricks then compensate with money-changing and ripping off decent people on top of it.
Not enough guts to play it straight - that is the money-changers.
Don't be so certain...I heard that with hookers, the customer always comes first.
Eve was the first whore. And you gotta figure Lucifer was a bankster.
(2 Cor. 11:2-3)
Bankers, money lenders, money changers have been fleecing the public for
more than 100 years, they have been doing it for 1000s of years. Even the
bible the Joos wrote condemns them. A pox on the banksters.
But CNBC's Jim Cramer told me Fedheads are GOOD people looking out for us!

Yes.
They also had heroin (which was legal) sold by many companies. .including the bayer asprin company.

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do...

Your message would work much better if you started your post with, "Listen..."
There really is no way out. Same circus, different clowns. Then they take our wealth. then they send our children to die in wars for their wallets.
What's the point?
"There really is no way out. Same circus, different clowns. Then they take our wealth. then they send our children to die in wars for their wallets...." --
Re-define wealth and money for yourself, dumbass. Who's to say who is "in" or "out...
There is a way "out"...
From day one, my parents explained the differnce between paper promises and physical assets as well as how to shoot straight. I did the same for my children...
wi-fi at 40,000 feet is really a bad idea...
Bully for you. Your words would carry more weight if you didn't resort to insults so much.
those cartoons worked and laws were put in place to prevent the worst excesses. then someone invented TV.
...what happened imediately following this period...
the world went to war.
Just a coincidence I am sure...
and a depression first
Not before World War I.
Obviously back then the idea of something worse than World War I was unimaginable.
Nothing like " microbe wars" to get people's attention.
Bankers had to destroy the knowledge of the Banker Trust as much as possible.
Like Destroying culture. Like Destroying the Library at Alexandria. The Fascist Roman Army was good at this. History keeps repeating the Fascist Methods of Control.
So we ended up with
- World War I
- World War II
- Military Republic
- Endless War
- Endless Fraud
- Marriage between Government & Corporations
- Boom & Bust Cycles, Depressions, Joblessness, Wage Declines
- Open Borders, Massive Illegal Immigration
- Unlimited Risks to Education, Culture, Health Care, Inflation, Deception, Disease
- Loss of Honest Government to Lobbying Coup
That's one angry squid.
oh to have a press core that would publish cartoons like this today, we might actually stand a chance of effecting some major reforms. As it stands now the flock is being fleeced as before with different verbage hiding the truth. Soon some will be slaughtered rather than just fleeced, like some pension plans and their recipients....the insiders, as before, will make out like the bandits they are; and when the inevitible depression hits mostly all of the working and middle classes assets will be available for pennies on the dollar ready to be resold to the same folks on the next up tick. same ol' same ol'!!!
The original source could have been as non-MSM as ZH. Or did people understand where the power was and how it worked ?
Suggesting that they may have, one thing that's different now is that extreme wealth is much less visible, that there are fewer occasions for in-your-face, stupefying witness to the gap between extreme wealth and what is typical. Images of extreme wealth now arrive via media, without the context of the typical, and seem to engender admiration rather than understanding.
Extreme wealth is much less visible?
You're not looking in the right places:
http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2016258_2...
Richard, the later content in my sentence arrives at the point; my syntax could have been more clear: yes, that's extreme wealth, but there's no contrasting context of the typical, that's what I was trying to communicate. As you mention, you have to look in the right places to see things like this -- exactly my point, you don't see it happenstance on the street, as one seems to have in 19th Cent. U.S., or in many other countries now.
If it has always been this way, is there any hope? More to the point, is there any point in paying attention to it? I am begining to wonder.
has it been this way...unfortunately YES!
i had a boss with a poster of the 3 PYRIMIDS on it...
under it he wrote 'ISNT AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH LOTS OF CHEAP LABOR...AND A WHIP!'
Ramses didnt build those things...but he got credit for it...
ITS THE SAME AS IT EVER WAS!!!
and CEASAR invaded GAUL (because they had goldmines) to pay ROME'S DEBTS...
DEBTS TO WHOM???
Genesis 47:15
"And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, 'Give to us bread -- why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?'"
So... Where did the money go? Silver coins just went poof into thin air?
Worth noting that it explicitly mentions the land of Canaan, but only the Egyptians going to Joseph. Canaan was modern-day Lebanon, Israel, the western part of Jordan and southwestern Syria.
"So... Where did the money go? Silver coins just went poof into thin air?"
money lending for consumption inevitably leads to the concentration of wealth among the money lenders
well, if i read history right...
pharoh's would bury lots of gold with them...
in their own tombs...(BANK VAULT LOOKING THINGS)
and the the state religion guarded those vaults..
they have only found 1 tomb intact...
SO EITHER THEY WERE REALLY BAD AT GUARDING STUFF....
OR.....
OR Bankers are great Clerks and Researchers.
Information is power. Learn languages, control the books, hide data and information. Just like in the Iraqi War... you don't collect information you don't want to get out.
So people with money associate with people with money including Pharohs. Laws have been carved into stone for 5000-6000 years since Sumeria. Much of the old laws were about contracts, debts, money, slaves, chattel... So Bankers & Lawyers are at least this old too.
It is not that history is unknown, it is just controlled.
There is always hope. Until you give up, then it's game over. What do they want more than anything? Hopeless people ready for shackles and/or death.
Indeed, there's always Hope- but it matters what your hope is for.
1 Corinthians 13:13
There is hope if people stop caring about whether or not they have an Italian Leather Sofa. -: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuVSvSbnaUg
or even if they stop caring about havinjg it *today* and save up for it instead. people get less stuff if they borrow to pay for it. more stuff if they save up. (hence why debt eventually kills demand).
totally O/T everything - : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsOUcikyGRk
Happy weekend, BitcheZ. Ebworthen, if you're out there, check this chick out. LOVE!
Q. "If it has always been this way, is there any hope?"
A. You've got a chance after the system collapses...
Q. "More to the point, is there any point in paying attention to it?"
A. Probably not. It's just so transfixing to watch the theatre of the absurd unfold before your very eyes...
The same thot haunts me day after day Creant...
There definitively is more than just hope.
For starters, now that I know the game is rigged and that everything the system offers is abusive, I've moved on and found COUNTLESS awesome solutions (ex: liposomal vitamin C, Rick Simpson Oil, sfhelp.org etc.), so my personal life is already clearly WAY BETTER than before.
So even without changing the system or depending on others waking up and helping to change things, at the very least it is possible to just adapt smartly and have a far happier life.
And when people see how happy and successful one can be by adapting smartly (which invariably requires dropping mainstream medicine, etc.), they will follow just so they can get those same advantages, and by doing that they will finally affect change.
And thus, I'd say that there is much point to finding and sharing solutions, but not much point to sharing seemingly intractable problems (like the Federal Reserve). The comics above (and nearly all of what ZH publishes) are focused on such problems, and thus 'most people' outside of us don't have a desire to know about stuff that will just get them in trouble in practice.
If you focus more on finding practical solutions and adaptations, you will not only immediately benefit more, but you will probably also interest more people in RL. :)
(which invariably requires dropping mainstream medicine, etc.),
Just be a little careful with the "dropping it entirely" part OK ?...
Hehe, well said. They have a monopoly on being able to deal properly with things that require stiches, but for most things outside of a car crash or bullet wound (ex: cancer, sports injuries, diabetes, etc.), you can find way better info outside of the mainstream.
The scientific method can be applied by any individual, and many people out there have top-notch science to back what they suggest. There truly are solid alternatives out there!
People with no discernment and no time have no choice but to try to pay someone to handle their health for them. I've found that I ALWAYS do incomparably better searching for the solution myself, compared to when I visit the dr, who is basically just a pill pusher for big pharma.
Yes.
Yes.
Maybe this will help.
The history of secret societies is most instructive.
Absolutely.
Quite the eye opener.
"If it has always been this way, is there any hope?"
The banking mafia always destroy the economy eventually because of the effect of debt saturation on demand so there's a constant cycle of dominance and backlash throughout history. That's not hope exactly as the Dark Ages weren't that great but there is a cycle to it imo.
But if it had always been exactly the same (outside of collapse moments) then there would never have been laws like Glass-Steagal and no need to repeal laws like Glass-Steagal to get what they wanted so the key to the level of banking mafia control outside of those backlash moments is media control imo.
It's obvious that too much consumer debt will eventually kill disposable income and thus demand so all you need is for people to be able to say so. The reason they can't is banking mafia dominance of the media.
Do you want to be poor. Do you want your children to be poor?
Either you pay attention, and make appropriate movements of wealth, or you and your children will be poor and poverty unfortunately has worse life outcomes for those who are poor.
The other thing is they don't teach this stuff in 99% of schools, because, well, they want a nation of willing serfs. The 0.01%, obviously do teach their children. It's in everyone's interest to pay attention, that they don't just means they and their offspring will be disadvantaged.
I've been wondering now, stupidly in my case, since 2000 the same MsCreant. I took a break for a few years then started really wondering again in 2007. When Lehman failed and all the others received welfare checks from the fed I stopped wondering. March 2009 is when I said f*** it.
Here I am, trying very hard to stay low and out of the way.
I still get very angry, so maybe medical marijuana is my cure.
Good luck to us all.
Of course there's a point to paying attention to it. so you can come out on the right side.
Well, at least we don't wear those silly hats any longer.
//trying to find the silver lining in the fact that men having been screwing each other over since the dawn of time.
i'd love a top hat - steampunk ftw :)
It is amazing that we argue the exact same arguments from 100 years ago. Nothing has changed. And sadly, we are still losing.
things did change and then they changed back again cos media changed and the banking mafia grabbed control of the new media first.
Change is foretold and it will occur within the next few years:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+18&version=NIV
I Call You My Base - Perhaps a word of encouragement. I try and think of the bigger picture. Looking in the mirror to make a better person and then go out into the world to make it a better place is why mankind no longer lives in caves. Aristotle did not succeed in reforming the Greek state, but I view his effort at slowing down the rate of descent with his arguments. Same deal as Ron Paul in my opinion.
After the nasty eventualities occur that such argued against (because they care) those words of wisom and concepts of good principles help the society rebuild. In the end we are all arguing against our inherit imperfection as we have evolved and are nearing the end of our evolution, back to the garden, back to energy from which we came.
I had a good business mentor that taught me to give back to the community. The more this is encouraged the better the world becomes.
Another thing worth a mention. You can pick up the phone and sell services to people with money. Many started with a better deck of cards. But it doesn't prevent you from selling them what they demand. Wall street has no problem selling them things worth 1/3 less than they really are worth but if the customer is happy, does it matter?
Here is an example: I am in publishing and sell ads. I advise clients to conducting testing a certain way. They seldom listen and instead wish to plop down a large chunk of change on one message, when they should spread there messages out to several. That way they know what messages work and which ones don't. But I don't refuse the money when they decide to just "spray and pray" with there one message. This really bothered me for awhile but now it only bothers me because I know I won't earn a repeat customer. But as times are getting tighter they are listening more to doing testing. Who am I to argue what the market wants? You can be ethical in business. I had a product in demand I wouldnt sell a couple years ago because I couldnt support it and clients would have got no value. I suffered for a short time for that decision but it forced me to learn new skills to support it myself and damn it felt good to overcome. I sell data too. When in 2007 others were selling a data product for $2.00, I knew it was worth .10 cents so that is what I sold it for. I still have those customers to this day while the other companies went under. People smarten up to a being sold a product in a shiny wrapper but does not give them value.
The world wants banking products. But my argument against central banks are controlling the currency and this buys the government at the end of the day. So central banks can near literally at gunpoint force the citizenship to pay for overvalued assets through indirect taxation. The solution is to make central banking a fourth branch of government. "Private-public" partnerships are the problem and governments job is to seperate the two with laws. Since the central banking system has a controlling interest globally and won't argue against there own interests (a civil war in banking would be a good thing) then it will be a national government with nu lear weapons that reassurts soveignty causing WW3 and then laws will pass seperating public/private partnership or if that doesn't happen you get global financial collapse to the extreme where eventually laws are passed to do the same.
Either way, a percentage of people here and other blogs understand also where this is going and why. You argue for the right reasons and the masses will remember your words like Aristotle when ithe inevitable happens and its time to rebuild. And I LOVE all of you for caring to slow the descent into hell and share your wisdom that future people will suddenly appreciate, sadly by learning the hard way.
I make my arguments because I care, for the sake of posterity. Realize though that nobody likes a prophet at first. They are only appreciated after the fact. I encourage you to try a little more class in your arguments. Constuctive criticism doesn't get you killed nowadays but repeated direct i i insults with no argument for posterity just might. Plus, some are tasked after the pain/learning stage to be conduits between humbled leadership with the wealth and the people for them to reinvest in.
We're about to enter a final golden age of our species evolution but first the old is breaking down, I think by 2020 or so the worst will be behind us but when trust breaks down it will take a good long time after that point to repair and regain full confidence. God bless you all, people of ALL nations.

"You will feel better that this time is not different... and much worse that in 100 years absolutely nothing has changed."
But I beg to differ...
"You will feel worse that this time is "worse"... and much worse that in 100 years just about everything has changed."
Cause even 100 years ago corruption as bad as it was with the 1% their were rules to the game and lines that didn't get crossed unlike in 2014! America certainly owned itself 100 years ago. Can any American say that today?
Fixed it!
This time is different, in that we now have the Internet.
We can take names, and make lists of the criminals and their crimes, and share those with each other.
When the ponzi skyscraper of the US tumbles and falls, we can use our lists to hold those responsible accountable for their thefts, murders, treason, and mendacity.
The American country will grow stronger as the US nation grows weaker.

Nemo, you know I love you, and I agree that aside from streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, we're actually much worse off today.
This basic monetary system has existed since the first goldsmith realized that he could issue receipts (to himself) far in excess of actual deposits, because almost no one actually redeemed their receipts for their gold. Receipts were so much more convenient than actual gold in that they were easily divisible and such- by simply issuing more receipts.
Thus, not only did the goldsmiths create notional value from nothing, so did the depositors.
Then, the goldsmiths, which concurrently evolved into bankers (using only receipts, which they now call currency) discovered that they could buy influence. For those leaders they could not buy directly, they employed agents of coercion to blackmail, and in rare cases assassinate leaders who didn't fall into line.
Fast forward 3000 or so years, the policies of the goldsmiths have certainly evolved, to the point that we have notional value (derivatives) that are many multiples of the actual value of all capital, human included, of the entire planet.
It's true that a global reset looms, but it's been building for millenia. A hundred years on this scale is like 5 minutes on your clock.
If you're wondering (probably not) where streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes originates:

Guillotine the Fed!
An American, not US subject.
re: "Guillotine the Fed"
That would be blowing off steam...but doesn't fix anything.
If nothing else, these cartoons show how only the players change, but not the game board. Players come and go...when they go, their spot is filled by just another willing parasite. This process is able to continue because US citizens allow it to through ignorance and/or indifference. Until people "wake up" and learn just how bad they're being robbed, nothing will change...I base that assumption on the last 100 years.
They've cornered the currency and credit market just like one cartoon states. As long as people can buy their bread and circuses using that money and are unable to see what Austrian's refer to as "unseen consequences", then the game will continue and the gameboard will continually change ever so slightly to benefit the banks.
So whether bankers get their heads lopped off or are swinging from a streetlight, it won't matter. PeOPlE need to change the way they think about life and about future lives. Currency is life and the bankers are stealing it.
/rant.
" PeOPlE need to change the way they think about life and about future lives. Currency is life and the bankers are stealing it."
Yes, they do need to change the way they think about their lives now and in the future. This temporal 70 or 80 year life is not the end, it is the proving ground:
http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-26.htm
Currency is life- in a temporal sense only. The only currency that lasts is Faith in Jesus Christ:

See ya' got a reddie for talkin' 'bout the Bible and Jesus. Wasn't me. Anyway, aside from the exceptionally sensational claims made about Jesus' life experience, I think there's a whole lot of wisdom in that Book.
Funny, I've just somehow "known" that this life was only a test. Humans don't live long enough to really grasp all that's going on around them. When we get close, our mental faculties start to fade such that those around us tend to ignore us.
It's cool, I thought old people were senile when I was young, too!

The Aldrich plan. The Federal Reserve Act.
What I find funny 100 years later is how the names are forgotten. At the time, there were real people and names behind these things. Now it's as if it was decided by the collective then.
Obamacare won't be obamacare in 40 years. It'll be the ACA. You think people won't forget, they will. Think there's some federal reserve? Like there's a reserve of money the federal government holds? Bullshit. The same as the Affordable Care Act is both neither affordable nor health care.
More abhorrent is that they entered the USA in WWI to dodge the mob, and got away with it.
Most abhorrent is that congress has known all about this and profited by it all this time...
Pondering why rich people don't fight the system as it is now... The thing is Wealthy people always find a way to come out on top even when things are corrupted and controlled by the few.
Now Living in the USA and making a life is so expensive we see few Whistleblowers.
So where are the Patriotic Wealthy and why don't they offer to support US Whistleblowers? Sure you go against corrupt military officers you need some job security. Go against Eric Holder or Lanny Breur or Mueller or John Kerry or Hillery Clinton... you need legal help and a job or income. Go against the Big Bankers you might need deep pockets to fight long and hard against civil lawsuits.

Rich people just don't care about the USA. There is no such thing as a Wealth Patriotic Family.
Glob{e}alists have allegiance to no country.
Their allegiance is to wealth, and they use that wealth to buy politicians in whatever countries will allow it.
Find the countries that don't have a Rothschild controlled Central Bank.
Those same countries are the targets of the next big globalist sponsored world war.
But this time, the globalists and their militaries will fail.
I Agree. I just don't know where to link to the evidence in the big opposition leaders.

It was a plot; a conspiracy to install a group of bankers to make the rules about our nation's money.
And they passed the Act late in the evening near Christmas Eve to avoid public outcry and called it a "System"
The Federal Reserve System for systematic withdrawal of money from the public (those who are not members of the system).
Outstanding collection. Thank you!
But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional and illegal
The Federal Reserve is not CONgress and therefore cannot Constitutionally "coin money and to regulate its value" (A. 1, S. 8, C. 5).
Fractional reserve banking is nothing more than fraud against depositors and counterfeiting of "loan-money" against the entire economy. Therefore, such a criminal enterprise, ignoring the Unconstitutionality issue, cannot be placed in a legal position to "coin money and to regulate its value."
And need I go down the "dual-citizen" role played in the system's operation and criminal activities?! Dual-citizens are not Americans.
An American, not US subject.
"Guillotine the Fed!"
Something to know. Something to think about.:
The 1940 Nationality Act: Section 401 (e) of the 1940 Nationality Act provides that a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization, "shall lose his [U.S.] nationality by...voting in a political election in a foreign state."
This law was tested many times. In 1958, for instance, an American citizen named Perez voted in a Mexican election. The case went to the Supreme Court, where the majority opinion held that Perez must lose his American nationality. The court said Congress could provide for expatriation as a reasonable way of preventing embarrassment to the United States in its foreign relations.
But then something very odd happened.
In 1967 an American Jew, Beys Afroyim received an exemption that set a precedent exclusively for American Jews...
Link below, but you know where this is going already, don't you?!

You left out the one where the Christians are mad at the jews for crucifying all members of congress on Calvary for losing their money.
Yes, it is a wonderful world... only the management sucks.
Possible solution??

They all knew it then, but then came TV and gadgets.
It did change. Various laws were put in place to try and control it and then those laws were got rid of again. Half the things the banking mafia do today were illegal as recently as 16 years ago.
edit: and things changed because the media wasn't fully controlled back then
although this sounds insane, you have to ask yourself whether Hitler was as crazy as history portrays him, about Bankers etc, Not the Gas chambers and all that awful shit , seems that he understood all this banking fraud and who was behind it all,years ahead of the crowd...perhaps it was the Bankers that fucked Germany at the end of WW1 after all...
brilliant OP btw

Look ma, no computer graphics or iCrap!
Observe the artistry in these old cartoons. Now you know just how far other types of modern media have fallen.
Agreed, but what resulted from their work here. The banking cartel's power has grown exponentially.
It does not seem to me at least that anything has or will ever happen to exact justice against this cabal of parasites.
People see these types of expressions of anger and disgust and that seems to satisfy them that something has been done in the interest of justice.
This is what I do not undertand, this has been an ongoing event with the exception of a brief period in the beginning of this country's history.
Are people in this country so well off that they will continue to ignore their own enslavement, suffering and being sacrificed by this government to maintain the status quo?Being the house boy has some comforts for sure but their still a slave.
So what is it going to take for the country to be set back on course? I doubt that a fruit vendor setting them self ablaze here would accomplish anything other than people taking selfies with the afore mentioned charred remains of said fruit vendor.
This banker occupation will not stop until they are tried, convicted, and I'll let you fill in the blank regarding their punishment.
You think this started in America? This goes back hundreds... possibly thousands of years, there are references in the bible of the control of money by the few being used to control the many. America is just one stepping stone on the way to world domination.
Recently it started ~400 years ago in Holland. 1609. Holland was the first country to have a "modern" central bank. Prior to that, religious orders provided banking services.
In 1688, Holland invaded the non United Kingdom.
1690, Willem III van Oranje from Holland took over the UK and became King of England.
1694 - The Bank of England was formed.

Take this guy's reports with a heaping serving of salt. For me, V's credibility was ruined ever since his "interview" with a 4-star general who, if you connected the dots of V's story, jumped from Major to 4-star in just four years -- which meant the 4-star general had to be in his very early 40s or late 30s. If that sounds incredible, it's because it is. What V forgot was that military promotion records are public -- so I checked the records of all the living 4-stars (retired and active duty) and his story turned out to be a complete fraud.
Who was it that said you can come up with any law to protect the public you want, I'll get a politician and a lawyer to write it and screw you every time.
Thank you. These are wonderful.
Those who look closely understand that it is not the 1% at the top stealing the icing off the cake, but the much smaller .1% or .01% that are skewing the numbers and overreaching.
I contend the biggest problem is the massive growth in crony capitalism and corruption in Washington. Much of this can be attributed to the ability of those in control "changing the rules" and positioning themselves to benefit at every corner. In our busy and complex world we have found it impossible to watch all the moving parts. More on how this leads to collapse in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-empires-collapse.html
Cartoon two is the greatest.
Our forefathers burdened us with ‘Bonds’.
Slaves are shackled in “bonds” too.
We do have an honest system.
Better put a czar on that "before" it becomes a problem. Oh! It's not a problem yet. Take two jews and call me in the morning.
...nothing has changed...
So its been TEOTWAWKI for 100 years?
These cartoons could be compiled into a 2 minute you tube video.
This might serve to awaken more people.
Like Humphrey Bogart in that African river, we need to get out the salt and scrape these leeches off.
Better late than never.
In social media, whenever some muppet tries to defend them, or tries to defend HFT or debt money, bodyslam them, belittle them, ostracize them, laugh at their foolishness.
Make it a big negative to respect the criminal bankers or this criminal system. Refer to them as leeches, thieves, crooks and scum not worthy of their salt.
Shun them, their children and their friends. Make them ashamed of their ill-gotten wealth.
A pox on the central banking cabal. When the heat is turned up high enough, it will become fashionable to throw rocks at those limos. That will be the beginning of the end of their nefarious scheme.
Jest dreamin'.
<"the dumass public still doesn't get it."> Oh, but they do. The same tactics of giving the masses enough to keep them content and peaceful worked then, and works now. Social programs put food on the table, an I-Phone in the hand, and a big T.V. on the wall of the double-wide. Loose credit gives them an SUV in the driveway. Nobody is going to join an uprising so long as there is a ‘chicken in every pot’. It does not matter to most that the wealthy are laughing all the way to the bank. There is no general mood toward hanging the bankers. The oligarchs beat the drum of patriotism and send youth off to war. Massive deficit spending keeps the entitlements coming and the Fed is the great enabler. So long as they push stocks higher, everyone is happy, or at least content.
Only a total meltdown will turn the entitled masses against the regime. That may happen, but the oligarchs aren’t stupid and will throw everything they have at this. There can never be austerity or deficit reduction. Politicians all know if the entitlements are cut, they are out. You will need deep pockets to stay bearish awaiting the final debt-driven collapse.
Btw..one of the best articles on zh in a while.
Scary..truthful..and yet 'nobody' saw this coming...still.
Okay so, in a hundred years, nothing has changed, the wealthy are still wealthy, the poor are still poor, Politicians, Wall Street, and big business are still having a menage-a-trois sex orgy, and the world hasn't come to an end so maybe, just maybe, the system does work after all.
They sowed the wind, we are going to reap the whirlwind. When it hits I hope the citizenry will remember the banking cartels caused it! And, I hope they won't let despair lead them to accept the tyrannical NWO.
Why haven't the whiners, the complainers, and the foot-dragging habitual "victims" been eliminated from the gene pool yet? What possible use has the evolutionary process found for this dross? Remember, never blame yourself for your own failures, blame "them".
Maybe we should eliminate them..... maybe some gas chambers? Great Idea.... Not!
You sick nazi fuck.
Don't forget the number one rule of online debate, the first one to call the other one a Nazi automatically loses.
You lose.
"so, in a hundred years, nothing has changed"
It did change. A lot of laws were put in place to constrain the banking mafia somewhat - not enough obviously but some - but those laws were repealed in the 80s and 90s leading to the current situation.
Maybe the system doesn't make YOU happy, maybe the system doesn't make YOU rich, but just because YOU didn't get an Obama-phone or an Obama-bonus or any Obama-cash doesn't mean the system doesn't work, it just means that YOU don't know how to work the system. I'll tell you one thing that hasn't changed, we still have our whiners and complainers.
Hey how about you shut the fuck up....
There's a mighty big difference between tellin' a man to "shut the fuck up" and makin' him do it.
Absolutely priceless. Thanks for posting. The public has greater opportunity to be educated today. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the population is as clueless today as it was 100 years ago.
these cartoons were published back when there were journalist and they were playing to both the people, and the politicians.
that was back when legislation was decided in the house, and senate, with a vote, today the outcome is paid for, and decided in the back room before the votes, and the media are political activist.
If what you said is true, then why do we have a Federal Reserve today (a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs and JPM)? Politicians are bought and paid for, that hasn't changed. The only difference between now and then is that back then we actually had principaled journalists in the MSM. Do you think that the Wash Post, or the NYT would put comics like these here in today's newspapers?
MLK said "I have a dream". For me, I have a pipe-dream. Imagine if the political ward in DC actually did what was best for all the people in the country, rather than just the powerful few. Imagine if they didn't write any laws not mentioned in their Constitutional powers. Imagine if the Supreme Court was filled with strict Constitutionalists. Imagine a President who actually just administered the laws, instead of having an agenda scripted by his political money-backers. Imagine if regulators actually regulated, instead of looking for a higher paying job on Wall Street or the CME. A pipe-dream, indeed!
Many educated people who believe they know what is happening in the world (college level education) really do not understand many of the basics of the monetary system. I realized that few could answer any of the following questions. These are not gimmicks (like the man on the street that cannot name the Vice President). Without knowing the answers they cannot assess risk...at all!
Most I talked to retreated into a zone of ignorance and pretended that it did not matter. Unless there is some understanding few will be prepared for what is soon coming. For most I'm guessing it is far too late.
What is QE?
What is the role of the Federal Reserve Bank?
What is GDP?
When was the last year that the USA exported more than it imported?
What does fiat currency mean?
What does it mean to be the world’s reserve currency?
How much is the debt of the USA?
Are you aware that large corporations have increased their stock prices by borrowing money and buying back their own shares?
In 2008 the Fed had 800 billion dollars outstanding. Are you aware they have since increased that amount by a factor of 5 (500%)?
Do you know what happened in Cyprus in March of 2013?
Vegas, well spoken. Did you ever get the feeling that the species "Boobus Americanus" deserves to become extinct? The only problem I have with that is they'll take the few of us who really know, and care, with them like a terrified drowning person will try to climb on top of the guy who swam out to save them and push him under, dooming both.
As for me, I gave up on trying to educate people. I'm tired of the blank stares of incomprehension and the belief they have that Uncle Sugar is going to make everything all right. I can't believe how many educated people swallow the propaganda, hook, line and sinker (like Russia shooting down MH-17, Saddam and WMD, Iran and nukes, and just fill in the blanks to whatever else you want to add).
I have a bad feeling that soon, very soon, many people are going to wake up to find out it's way too late as the iron boot stomps down on their throats. At that time, there won't be much satisfaction in saying I told you so.
Lone wolf, signing out.

Aint that right Mr.Po
Ultimately to do anything about this you need arguments that a mininum percentage of the population can understand. If for example that minimum is 1/3 then arguments that will only register with 1/10 are no good even if correct. That's one of the key points about these cartoons - they are aiming for maximum simplicity.
