A Day That Will Live in Infamy - 100 Years of Vampire Squid

The average American still cannot tell you what the Federal Reserve is, how it came to being, or how it is destroying our country today. Over at the Economic Collapse blog, Michael Snyder has put together 100 facts about the Federal Reserve, one for each year it has robbed the United States of its wealth. I found numbers 32 and 33 most interesting:

#32 According to an official government report, the Federal Reserve made 16.1 trillion dollars in secret loans to the big banks during the last financial crisis.  The following is a list of loan recipients that was taken directly from page 131 of the report…

Citigroup – $2.513 trillion

Morgan Stanley – $2.041 trillion

Merrill Lynch – $1.949 trillion

Bank of America – $1.344 trillion

Barclays PLC – $868 billion

Bear Sterns – $853 billion

Goldman Sachs – $814 billion

Royal Bank of Scotland – $541 billion

JP Morgan Chase – $391 billion

Deutsche Bank – $354 billion

UBS – $287 billion

Credit Suisse – $262 billion

Lehman Brothers – $183 billion

Bank of Scotland – $181 billion

BNP Paribas – $175 billion

Wells Fargo – $159 billion

Dexia – $159 billion

Wachovia – $142 billion

Dresdner Bank – $135 billion

Societe Generale – $124 billion

“All Other Borrowers” – $2.639 trillion

#33 The Federal Reserve also paid those big banks $659.4 million in “fees” to help “administer” those secret loans.

To put that information in proper context, check out G. Edward Griffin, the most well-respected researcher of the Federal Reserve breaking down how the Fed is a cartel:

How about we listen to a "genius" like Thomas Edison's opinion. I hear he was good at math:

That is to say, under the old way any time we wish to add to the national wealth we are compelled to add to the national debt.

Now, that is what Henry Ford wants to prevent. He thinks it is stupid, and so do I, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the United States should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 — that is what it amounts to, with interest. People who will not turn a shovelful of dirt nor contribute a pound of material will collect more money from the United States than will the people who supply the material and do the work. That is the terrible thing about interest. In all our great bond issues the interest is always greater than the principal. All of the great public works cost more than twice the actual cost, on that account. Under the present system of doing business we simply add 120 to 150 per cent, to the stated cost.

But here is the point: If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good.

Moving back further in time:

I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the Bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the Bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out and, by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out.

  ---Andrew Jackson, February 1834

 I keep this quote on the bottom of the blog because it is so astute:

"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship with the Bank for International Settlements.... The conclusion is impossible to escape that the State and Treasury Departments are willing to pool the banking system of Europe and America, setting up a world financial power independent of and above the Government of the United States.... The United States under present conditions will be transformed from the most active of manufacturing nations into a consuming and importing nation with a balance of trade against it."-- Rep Louis McFadden, quoted in the New York Times, June 1930

Article I, Section 8, clause 4:

The Congress shall have power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.




Do Justin Amash and Louis McFadden look similar to anyone else?

Postcards from the Edge

CUNARD

R.M.S. “MAURETANIA”.

May 26.Dear Governor:

I believe I told you that Mr. Paul Warburg had been in conference with Senator Owen and Mr. Untermeyer. I inclose you his answer to their argument in favor of the issuance of currency by the Government. His reasons seem to me to be conclusive. Why venture along uncertain paths when a well known road can be used? For a moment before I left I thought, perhaps, a compromise might be considered, but I doubt whether it would be safe to conceed the least which they would be willing to accept. The situation is a difficult one and I am sorry that I am not near to lend what help I might.

Your very faithful,E. M. House

Santorum Questioned on Fed - What You'd Expect

It ain't pretty. It just confirms what you already knew, Santorum is one of them. Who does them refer to? Lawsie, you're behind the curve if you have to ask that. Start here and make today the day you get a handle on the band of traitors taking down our country financially. Any terrorists that are out there are popping dates and eating pita bread with goat cheese laughing their behinds off at us. Banksters are sufficiently terrorizing the American people at this point.

Notice how he says we have to have inflation and then runs away. He says the dollar lost its value under the gold standard before RUNNING away. Attention Senator Stupid:

Mitt Romney's FED, A Love Story

Mitt Romney loves him some FED! Stay tuned for the Mitt Map below:

So here's the Mitt map. I thought I would be an equal opportunity mapper after having given Ricky Santorum the scrutiny. Notice how he blames Obama for our economic ills - how absolutely naive you have to be not to realize what we are witnessing the unwinding of what was begun 100 years ago by the Wilsonian progressive banksters. Their descendants are filthy rich. We should all know by now that Goldman Sachs is this guy's #1 contributor, which tells you a lot. Goldman is most likely one of the banks comprising the Federal Reserve Cartel. Their people always make it into the higher echelons of the Treasury Department, making for a nice little machine all around.

And if you don't understand by now that the  Federal Reserve is the source of all evil in America, you don't understand the ballgame AT ALL!

Money Masters Part 1

We've got to get this together people. When  conservatives hear of the Federal Reserve, they categorize it as a side issue like abortion, foreign policy, gay marriage, taxes, etc.  But for those of us who have been chasing these chickens around, we know that the Federal Reserve and those behind it are the source of evil for everything in America, nay the world. 

Allow me to illustrate:

The One Hundred Million Dollar Penny

Awesome video:

The love of money is the root of all evil.
Who's naive, again?

National Monetary Commission 1913 letter

This did have the seal of the National Monetary Commission on it above the Washington DC, but I don't know where it went. Weird. Anyway this is from the Alfred Crosier book located on the sidebar, US Money vs. Corporation Money. Back before the Federal Reserve Act was passed, Mr. Crosier was wise to the whole scheme. He did some research, and the frontispiece to his book contains an affidavit of the genuineness of the letters contained in the book.

So what we've got here is bait and switch. Will the "new federal reserve" money be on par with our old currency? Oh yes, the old currency is on par with gold and so will the new. Nothing to worry you pretty little heads about. Candy will still cost you only a penny my sweets!

Bwhahahahaha! What? Who's laughing hysterically at your ignorance, not me, I'm just a serious bankster. Serious about being at the top a Marxist pyramid of total control!! Bwhahahahaha. What are you looking at me like that for, I'm just a regular 1912 American going to church and being involved in my community. Are you going to the Presbyterian Social Justice rally this Thursday? My son Timmy is going and you're son will  have a swell time. What? He's already off to college. Time really does fly. He's majoring in history? Well then, you need to see my man about that. We've got some terrific new Carnegie grants to train the next young generation of teachers of American history. We want progress, don't we? Out with the old and in with the new tyranny. Did I say tyranny? I meant to say tenpenny, I mean tin pennies, we've thought about maybe making pennies out of tin because, because, well need to get back to work...thanks for stopping by!

That was weird, but those banksters are a tricksy bunch of peeps.

Money Trust Octopus 1912

Got this great picture from this guy who got it from this book. This came out one year before the Federal Reserve Act was passed. If a picture tells a thousand words, then this one explains everything that is wrong with our country. The social deterioration has been deliberately planned and executed through the tax-exempt foundations which are financed by the private syndicate tentacles. We see that the banks and the factories, or today the corporations, have morphed into the servants of the private syndicate. That's what part of the octopus the Occupy Wall Street are seeing. Conservatives, however only seem to see the tentacles that are in the government, causing the government to spend more money. They think that it is stupid commies pushing for this spending, not realizing that when government needs more money, it just causes the Fed to belch more money into being. Then through exclusive contracts, that money makes its way back to the private syndicate through the factory. You guys do remember that Michael Chertoff made out like a bandit with the naked body scanners, right? Through it all, the family farms are not included in the grand scheme, and are to be replaced exclusively with corporate farms owned by the syndicate. That's what all these raids and overpowering regulation are about. You see regulation is the poison this octopus uses to kill off its competition. The large corporations attached to the biggest tentacles are exempt from the regulations, while anyone who dare "compete" with them will be regulated to oblivion.

Paul vs. Cain on the Fed

Here's a fun video via Daily Paul that is a well-done video for the sound-byte world that goes back and forth on who said what and reveals just how much the Fed has been sending overseas:

Herman Cain Caught Lying

This is the digital age, people. If you say something on a national radio program, it will be taped and archived, and probably You-tubed. This is why I try to be very careful with my facts on here, because I don't like being made a fool or damaging my credibility by jumping the gun. I'm not saying it can't or won't happen, but I try to take everything with a grain of salt.

There was a debate last night held by the Bloomberg channel, owned by multi-billionare globalist Michael Bloomberg, moderated by Bilderburg attendee Charlie Rose, and financially sponsored by Peter Peterson, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations. Get the picture? This debate was practically in globalist HQ. But former Kansas City Federal Reserve Chairman Herman Cain was woefully unprepared to answer an inevitable question from Ron Paul, arch enemy of fiat money and the unconstitutional counterfeiters at the Fed, which went thusly:

Looking at the Fed

What do we really know? I mean you can think by listening to Fox News or talk radio that you are informed. I spent many years like that, but when it comes down to brass tacks, I had to admit that I didn't know squat. I was a A student in school and thought I was in the know. Looking in on our Lords at the Fed, I thought I'd clue you into its organization.

Louis McFadden - kooky

Senator Congressman Louis McFadden, patriot, charged the Federal Reserve System on May 23, 1933.

Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime. 
 
These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia…Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any.”

The more things change, the more they stay the same. You still think this isn't going on? If no one has stopped it, and it makes certain people a lot of money, then why should it be stopped? Louis McFadden would no doubt be called a kook by the conservative media of today. Actually, they would check the letter by his name first before they could begin to consider the merit of what he had to say. That's just how shallow those caught in the dialectic's mind trap are.

Oh, and McFadden "impeached Herbert Hoover" according to this 1932 edition of Time Magazine:

No man in the House hates President Hoover more intensely than he. Last session he accused him of treason in granting the Debt Moratorium (TIME, Dec. 28). He has fought the Hoover financial policy at every turn.

McFadden's list of grievances:

• Herbert Hoover . . . unlawfully usurped legislative powers 
• ... a policy inimical to the welfare of the United States 
• . . . unlawfully dissipated financial resources 
• . . . injured the credit and financial standing
•  ... his declaration of the moratorium has meant sacrifices by the American people
• . ... He did appoint one Andrew W. Mellon Ambassador while a resolution for the impeachment of the said Mellon was being heard
• . . . . Treated with contumely the veterans 
• . . . sent a military force heavily armed against homeless, hungry, sick, ragged and defenseless men, women and children and drove them out by force of fire and sword. . . .
  

Sounds familiar to me.

Police Surround Federal Reserve of NY for Flash Mob that Never Showed

Here's the video that explains it all. A last minute flash mob email was put out, but only the organizer showed up. When he got to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which features so prominently in the Wall Street series of books by Antony Sutton, he found approximately forty police officers bracing themselves for the "mob". He told them he was the only one that showed as the video illustrates. So they're watching and waiting for you America 'cause they know you'll be really, really pissed when you find out what a fraud our financial system really is...

h/t Daily Paul

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Herman Cain, Really?

For the record, I really do enjoy listening to Herman Cain's radio program. I agree with most things he says, I suppose, but am really doing some serious thinking about who to support for president this next time around. Not to say that I think that one man could save us from all this mess, but you can't begin to fix a problem until you properly understand it.

Last time around, I was a Fredhead, being from Tennessee and all. Since then, I've taken Herman Cain's advice and become informed. Oh yeah, I'm really, really informed now. I'm so informed, I've almost freaked myself completely out. I haven't become a conspiracy theorist, I've become a reality theorist. The reality of it is, Mr. Fred Thompson was and is a CFR member. BTW, he truly gets pwned in this video arguing that lawyers should get even more money for punitive damages, while having a column he had written while campaigning arguing the other side.  For those of you who aren't familiar with the Council on Foreign Relations, or how gigantic corporations have used non profit foundations to control our country, please investigate that for a clearer understanding of what our national situation actually is.

I hate to burst people's bubbles, but I must publish the Herman Cain map: (View in separate window so you can actually read it)

go to nndb.com to make your own map as the usual links won't load today

Now, I'm not trying to say Herman is a a bad guy or anything. Even though he worked for our dark masters in the Fed, doesn't mean he's a horrible person. The machine, system, or whatever you want to call it is unparalleled in its use of compartmentalization - keeping the right hand from knowing what the left is doing. The vast majority of people working inside the military-industrial-banking-government complex don't even realize that they're part of "the system". But a system there most certainly is when you zoom out a couple of levels and look at the interlocks between government, corporation, and nonprofits.

“None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.”  -Goethe

I guess I'd be more impressed with Mr. Cain if he had started Godfather's Pizza himself and raised it up to a national chain competing with the big boys. I mean, that would really be impressive. It's still great that he managed to turn it around, after being given control of it by a large multinational corporation, uh, yeah... Does anyone else find it odd that no one has mentioned that Herman sits or has sat on the board of directors of no less than five corporations that have approximately 120,000 employees? It kind of goes against the "aw shucks" small business image that the conservative media is trying to portray.

The biggest problem I have with Candidate Cain is enthusiastic support of TARP. From his October 2008 column telling us not to freak out about government ownership of banks, he tells us to calm down and shush up.

Unprecedented problems require unprecedented solutions. The actions by the Treasury are a win-win for the taxpayer. But the mainstream media does not get brownie points for reporting win-win solutions for the taxpayers. Their focus is doom and gloom.

These actions by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank and the actions by the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are all intended to help solve an unprecedented financial crisis. Unlike steps taken prior to and during the Great Depression, these actions have a high probability of success.

I would repost it in full for the purposes of full dissection, but there are big "do not copy, this is copyrighted" disclaimers all over it. Given the current climate, I guess I better not go for it. But I will say as someone who's been trying to figure this stuff out, it is a very condescending column to anyone who is aware that the Federal Reserve gave most of the bailout money to foreign banks. Collapse of our currency is something that he doesn't want you to focus on. Continuing the race card narrative seems to be more important that mentioning awful things like the collapse of the US dollar. That's "doom and gloom" that shall not be spoken of, let's talk about melanin levels of the skin and "liberals" while the Fed pumps what little wealth we have left overseas..Don't worry, though, we'll have the fair tax that will maintain current spending levels for the federal government. Isn't that special? That's assuming of course, our dollar hasn't collapsed and we're being pushed into a cashless global currency

It's all pretty incredible for a guy who's trying to ride the Tea Party to the Republican nomination. The Tea Party is the group that took the streets with anti-bailout signs, right? Just checking to see if I'm in the same dimension. I'm just doing a reality check here, seriously, are all these conservative bloggers actually going gaga over a former Fed official whose on the record with a demeaning column telling us that daddy Fed has everything under control. Is this some kind of a sick joke?

I think most people who have taken Herman's advice and gotten informed have learned a lot about his former employer, the Federal Reserve, and this column he wrote in 2008 is going to bite him in the butt big time. But it's Obama's fault. Good grief, ya'll this Federal Reserve/IRS con game has been going on since 1913, and like every con, it eventually has to come to an end. Those who are raking in this dough are trying like mad to squeeze the last bits of change out before they pull the plug. Who are "they"? I would surmise they are those who are actually making the money in this economy.

So who should get your presidential support? Might I suggest someone who is actually wise to the whole banking cartel scheme? Even if a candidate is truly in his heart a patriotic American, that doesn't do much when we're all up against a generational con game designed to suck us dry. The Oval Office is not the place to discover it and get a game plan. We're really and truthfully running out of time, and may have already. I leave it to you to find this candidate, but given the Fed influence, the fact that he sits on the board of several corporations, and wrote in favor of the bailouts (when the R was in charge) that person might not be Herman Cain. Like he says, stupid people are really ruining this country:

The American Dream is now available in its entirety on Youtube! There are a fair amount of cuss words in it as it is targeted to the South Park crowd. But if having your country's wealth being stolen out from under you doesn't make you go to cussing, nothing will KWIM?
