Meet The Fed's Latest Advisor: Cobra Commander

From Alt-Market

G.I. Joe Cartoon Predicted The Fall Of The Dollar?

I've seen predictive programming in television before, but this is ridiculous!  I always thought that G.I. Joe was a strange cartoon, and the live action movie was filled with globalist propaganda, but being an economic analyst, this particular episode entitled "Money To Burn" was at the same time hilarious and disturbing.  Check it out, and see if there aren't metaphoric shades of our current financial crisis within.  Cobra Commander destroys the U.S. dollar, and then tries to replace it with "Cobra Currency"!  (I knew the IMF and the Federal Reserve were working with Cobra...!)

LOL.  I watched the whole clip.  Quite prescient.

Except, there was no sign of a corrupt government.  The cartoon depicts external forces in the dollars' demise.

Of course, it's the opposite here.  The corrupt government and banksters are like fruit worms:  Rotting the system from the core outward.

I only wish GI Joe were real:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN034sBeF4c

Crashing through the night
Comes a fear full cry
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
No where to run
No where to hide
Panic spreading far and wide
Who can turn the tide?

GI Joe- A real American hero
Yo Joe!
GI Joe is there

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

Can the world oppose
Deadliest of foes?
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Joes will risk it all
To end the evil call of
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
They never give up
They never say die
Walking tall with banners high
They sound the battle cry-
Yo Joe! Yo Joe!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there

Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained
special mission force.
It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra-
a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
Cobra! Retreat! Retreat!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there

So we should submit to a global dictator because he backs his currency with gold.  How about a gold, silver, or coal backed US dollar instead?

Mon, 11/14/2011 - 17:36 | 1877078 tmosley
tmosley's picture

Dictators can't use gold as currency.  They can only spend it once, and have to use the painful process of taxation to get more money to spend.

If "they" come bearing a gold currency, made of circulating gold coins, then you have found a worthy set of leaders, if such people ever existed.

Islamic banking is no good either.  People must be free to write their own contracts however they see fit, and be free to walk away from them and suffer the consequences of that (ie no future credit, name goes into some lists as a contract breaker, including the terms of the contract and perhaps the conditions under which he walked away, etc).

Take a dollar out of your wallet and ask what it owes you. It is a debt instrument until it is exchanged for goods or services. It is still a debt instrument on exchange, only held in someone elses hands. When people start refusing them as settlement guarantees, their intrinsic value becomes obvious, making them a counterparty hot potato.

Because ALL money today is brought into exixtance through borrowings (all governments borrow money from their bond buyers, most typically  central banks), they are instantly debt instruments. They are the CBs reminder (credit note) to the govt of the debt they owe to the CB, or other bond holder. When you work, you earn pieces of debt. Screwy eh?!

Wouldn't they be protesting at the Federal Reserve, not the Dept of the Treasury?

My thoughts exactly.  Though Capitol Hill would be even better - the bastards who created & empowered the Fed in the first place.  Then again Americans aren't known for fully thinking things through...

LOL, looking back at this, I think it was a not-to-subtle attempt at demonizing gold and emphasizing the value of fiat, which would be typical propaganda.

After all, gold is what the bad guy use!

Is it odd that "Cobra Commander" is a reptile?  A la "V" and other theories about the "Reptilian Overloards" conspiracy...  Just sayin'

NWO plans implicitly marketed to the youth through the medium of harmless cartoons.

Cartoonists demonstrating greater understanding of the fundamentals of economics than our elected and appointed officials.

What's next?  Hannah Montana making it to the top of the charts singing about college-savings plan loopholes, and inflation in essential glitter supplies? 

Cobra Commander = The Bernank

Did you notice how he said "Cobra's economic recovery plan", it's not a recovery plan for everybody, it's just so Cobra will recover. Kinda like when Bush jr said "our economic recovery plan."

GI Joe dumb fucks never thought to open the mint to gold and silver to defeat COBRA because they are too stupid and don't even know what money is. COBRA comes in with a alternative currency and it's a GOLD COIN. Ha. Ha. GI Joe is fucked. Stupid GI Joe deserves to be bankrupt, poor, and starving.

Is COBRA supposed to be evil? In this episode they just freed the world of intrinsicly worthless irredemible paper money and offered the citizens gold for goods and services while schumck GI joe stoodges with I.Q.'s of below 70 who have been brainwashed in their Basic Training and conditioned not to think independently want to return the world to irredemible paper money. No wonder our kids are so fucking confused.

I love how they are playing poker and the money sets on fire (from a proxy source, no less).

 

Notice the Goldman Sachs building looks similar too:
