    Basically everything points to the big bankers controlling governments. Once you can accept that it's possible Rothschild and the Reserve have the ability to control government, it can explain nearly everything questionable that has happened in my lifetime. Anyone or any government that stands against the Federal Reserve controlling currency gets taken out for one reason or another.

    Looks like this isn't anything new and has been going on for decades. Same scenario, different place. Start watching this at 34:10

    I didn't think much of you as a poster before Woody, but you seem open minded to a legitimate possibility of this being true, and you aren't brainwashed. Can you see now why us libertarians hate this monetary system?

    Perhaps I misjudged you before.

    Lol. Thanks ;)

    Oh, it's a conspiracy theory - but that's not a bad thing. "Conspiracy" is synonymous with "plot." Anything our government does behind closed doors is a conspiracy.

    But I'll do right by you and give this objective, open-minded thought and study.

    All of the comments following this one say the same thing. As if I recently opened my mind.

    I think what changed is the election is over and everyone else opened THEIR mind.

    Once I said I was voting Obama no one wanted to hear a word I had to say. I would vote for him again today, for the reasons I've already posted in the past but won't go over it again.

    Thanks for the respect though

    Utter nonsense. Everybody wants a boogie man to blame. Everybody wants to believe that government woud be better if we just got rid of all the special interests except, of course, for mine. It is government that is the problem. Government by it's very nature is about power and the exercise there of. Government will usurp all the power a free people will allow. Business banks what have you got into government because government got into them.

    Learn the lesson of Microsoft. Prior to the Clinton justice departments assault on Microsoft, microsoft spent a grand total of zero dollars on lobbying and lobbyists. The result was that when the Justice department came calling Microsoft had no defenders in Washigton and got royally screwed in a silly antitrust suit simply for being good at what they did. Please note the folks at Microsoft may be a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. They now spend millions on lobbiests and lobbying.

    If that isn't enough evidence add WAMU aka Washington Mutual, a huge banking conglomerate that some how wasn't too big to fail. Why, once again they spent no money on lobbying and lobbiest.

    The lesson is simply this: Once your company's proceeds exceed about 100 million a year not having a lobbying firm in Washington DC to represent you is tantamount to announcing that you have a financial death wish. If you think most companies want this sort of thing you are insane. You wanna know why Dc hates Mafia protection Rackets?
    The answer is simple they hate competition.

    See I don't believe this. I think that if the MIC, and big energy had somehow had their interests misaligned with the banksters that the banksters would get rolled over.

    I see the banks as the most powerful of the special interests, but I think people vastly underestimate the power of the other 5 industries that write this nations legislation.

    Well you got this part right. The problem is that people want to protect their special interests, instead of doing what is right for our nation!

    Where else was I wrong? It's washington's game. It got that way Under FDR and the national recovery act. You either play the game or the Washington power brokers will bend you over and rape you. And the Power brokers are mostly lawyers and ex congressmen. Businesses do what they have to do to survive.

    Correct and I believe this is done on purpose. Something like Alex Jones and "lets get the info out there and mix in some other nonsense with it that way it all gets labeled conspiracy theory". They do a huge disservice to the message itself. Kind of like the misinformation in regards to the FED.

    I have already told him the same thing. I totally agree with your assessment of him. If you can keep a open mind and do your own research then your are likely to come to a more informed opinion. It can snowball from there.

    I agree but you also have to keep in mind it is the central banks and a fiat currency that help fund these special interests.

    Well the problem is that a standard based on a physical commidity is volatile, unstable and isn't "nimble" enough to deal with rapid changes in the economy from technology, labor improvements, etc.

    All economies NEED the ability to debase their currency at will in order to deal with economic crises and such. There are flaws in the system, sure, but those flaws need to be accepted as one of the inconveniences we accept in order to have an adaptable money supply.
