If
what you are after is political reform, a legitimate
commitment to the rule of law, and a domestic and foreign
policy pursued with moral and intellectual integrity… you
are not going to make much headway as long as our money supply
is determined by privately owned banks and other institutions that
create money out of nothing and lend it out at interest.
A
government of the People, by the People, and for the People
cannot remain free and sovereign if its money supply is not
also... of the People, by the People and for the People.
The failure to understand this has metastasized into a cancer
that has all but destroyed democracy in the United States and now
threatens to destroy any vestige of it in every corner of the
globe.
The
system under which we now live is fundamentally flawed.
It is
incompatible with democratic principles, basic human rights,
or logic. This system persists only because those who
profit from it have been successful in keeping their
operations hidden from public view, unaccountable to any
legitimate authority, and able to corrupt most, (if not all),
institutions that form the backbone of most democratic
societies, and this includes our own political, educational,
and media based institutions.
Our
government today is a puppet regime to big money
interests. American democracy is an illusion. But
it doesn't have to be so.
Most
politicians do not understand how our economy works, or if
they do, have been corrupted by it; our educational system
does not teach citizens how it really works, and our broadcast media
totally serves its needs. In our construct of how we
think the world works, myth and illusion have replaced
reality. Until these fundamental truths are revealed and
properly understood, nothing we do will make much difference.
And even if we did understand it, it remains to be seen if
enough citizens are prepared to respond responsibly and with
sufficient wisdom, perseverance, and intellectual integrity to
end the morass we’re caught up in. The above
notwithstanding, solutions to our biggest problems are readily
available. All we need is an awake citizenry
willing to be responsible for understanding and implementing
them.
To
say it another way, our freedom and our security is lost if we
can't overcome two immense hurdles: 1) understanding
what forces are at work that would enslave us, and 2)
recovering our ability as individuals to be responsible human
beings.
The
first test to see if what I am saying is true will be whether or not
you would be willing to do the research you need to do to
understand how your freedom, wealth, dignity, and well-being
is being usurped by people who are totally unaccountable to
you or anyone else... and what can be done about it.. If
you want to give it a try, start here: Read:
The
Web of Debt by Ellen Hodgson Brown, J.D.
You
tube video: The
Money Masters
And
read this too: The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights
I
believe that in less than one generation, an American
citizenry that fully understands and appreciates the wisdom
contained in those two documents could transform the world,
from one that can't offer sustainable peace and prosperity to
all peoples, to one that can. Hopefully, spending
some time on this website might also be of some assistance. ....and time is of the essence.

Commentaries
Al
Martin, former contributor to the Presidential Council of
Economic Advisors, "...noted that the ratio of total U.S.
Debt (public and private) to gross domestic product (GDP) [of
the US] had risen to 308 percent in April 2005. The
International Monetary Fund considers a nation-state with a
total debt-to-GDP ratio of 200 percent or more to be 'a
de-constructed Third World nation-state.' Martin wrote:
What
'de-constructed' actually means is that a political regime in
that country, or series of political regimes, have, through a
long period of fraud, abuse, graft, corruption and
mismanagement, effectively collapsed the economy of that
country."
from The Web of Debt by Ellen
Hodgson Brown, J.D.
While
reading this book will help you understand how the economy is
profoundly influenced by intractable external forces that
undermine the so-called American dream or any country's dream
that has a similar banking system, identifying and
installing workable solutions will not be easy. When you
consider how long it has taken you to find just this entry
point into understanding the problem, how long will it take
and how hard will it be for a critical mass of responsible
citizens to comprehend how the problem can be solved... which
is to say, how you must change before a real solution can be
implemented?
