So since we are still around, and the world didn't end, lets work on getting our rights back and correcting some of the things we don't like about this great country. I say a great place to start is fixing our corrupt ass financial institutions from the top down. When the crisis of 2008 occurred there were fractional reserve requirements  of 9 to 1. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking). That is to say that for every physical dollar that a bank has on hand it can then multiply that number by 9 and that is how much money the bank can magic into existence for loans to people at large interest rates often times to people who have no business getting loans. So what happens then? Well in many cases people default paying even more fees and lose their house, but wait it doesn't stop there this is where it gets really twisted. The loan that gets defaulted on is then called a toxic asset, as it will never be payed off therefore the money that they magicked into existence was never paid into the system by the borrower, this is nothing to worry about says the banker. Then these toxic assets are bundled together and sold and worshiped in the biggest crapshoot, criminal knife in the heart of the American way of life....derivatives. It is estimated, because you can buy derivatives on such a ridiculously high margin, which is to say you never have to produce the money that they are shoveling into the market, (unless they lose...), that there is somewhere in the neighborhood of a quadrillion dollars in the derivative market. (http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/06/09/ … arket-gdp/) But it gets even worse. Because the proverbial shit has been hitting the fan at such a large rate and on massive scale (How could it not??) that the reserve requirements are almost negligible at this point and for the real crooks that know how to they can get about $300 for ever real dollar they have in holdings as they can trade those few "real" dollars back and forth from banks and investment firms under the same ownership after they repealed the law that prevented them from DOING JUST THAT. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/1 … 01557.html) The time for ignoring what is going on behind the scenes has ended people. The effects are all around you and you must open your eyes before it is too late. I have not even mentioned that the board of directors for the federal reserve (read-puppets for JP Morgan, Rothschild, Rockefeller, and Goldman Sachs.) are under no oversight from congress, the supreme court, or even the president. They make policy independently of the three branches of government and unilaterally decide that it is ok in this last round of bail outs (read- printing money.) to send billions of dollars to foreign banks in countries like Germany, other European banks (that Bernanke refused when questioned to tell who got "loans" to foreign banks to the tune of well over $2.2 Trillion Dollars of future taxpayers money. (http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2 … s-who.html) The time for action is now for soon this house of cards is going to run it's logical course. You cant keep printing money backed by nothing but faith at astronomical levels and expect the system to do anything but crumble. (http://www.policymic.com/beta/business- … udget-woes) I fear that by the time enough people pull their head out of their ass and wake up, the damage already done may be to great. Then you get the government prosecuting people for promoting competing currencies and have to wonder who would benefit from an American economic collapse? Whether it's the commies of the sixties or the Ay'rabs of today, the main stream media will have no shortage of boogie men to shove in your face to keep you the appropriate level of terrified. SO with that, stay scared America, buy pharmaceuticals and every vaccine known to man and it will be all right. Radiation is now good for you, so stop worrying about that little bitty incident in Japan. Also courtesy of BP all fish and seafood that comes out of the Gulf will no longer need to be oiled before cooking, so just right into the sautee  pan no sticking, no hassle. Don't do research on codex alimentarius (http://www.natural-health-information-c … arius.html), also don't question your leaders asshat. They are smarter than you.
