The History of Oil, Humorously Presented

Explaining the Axis of Evil in relation to petrodollars. This ties in with what Lindsay Williams says and what John Perkins says about how the world works.

Warning, some quick flying language. The guy is pretty good with the accents, though.

Herman Cain - Central Bankster?

 I wrote a post a little while back digging into the past of Mr. Cain, a man who's radio program I do enjoy. Some have been questioning what is the big deal about him sitting on the boards of these corporations. Well, as someone who has been an officer in my church's corporation, I'm not saying that that in itself is a bad thing.

The only thing I've heard is that he was CEO of Godfathers Pizza; if I had not done my own research I never would have known that he was chairman of a regional Federal Reserve Bank. If you are not aware of the perils of the Fed, read/watch the Creature from Jekyll Island or check out The American Dream Cartoon. As we have been exploring the interlock between large corporations and the federal government on this blog, his being on the board of large corporations, such as Whirlpool do interest me.

I've learned in blogging that if someone says it better, then quote them. Today, Vox Day has the essential Herman Cain piece that will make everyone think twice. Vox gives us the ultimate reason why Herman Cain is not a good conservative candidate:

2) He is not even close to being a genuine conservative on the single most important issue presently facing the nation. Indeed, both his economic philosophy and his employment record are quite literally Communist. In the fifth of the "10 Planks" of the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx demanded "Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly." In the United States, credit has been centralized in an exclusive government monopoly granted to the Federal Reserve; Mr. Cain was the deputy chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 1992-1994 and the chairman from 1995-1996.

Now, despite his five-year career as an elite bankster, Cain cannot be seriously regarded as one culpable for the massive credit booms and the various financial crises that were their inevitable consequences. Unlike Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, Cain was not at the Federal Reserve proper or its flagship New York bank; it is also worth noting that his two terms of office at the bank preceded the periods of frantic money pumping that took place in 1998 and 2001 and launched the tech and housing bubbles. However, on the Neil Boortz show, his answer with regard to a prospective congressional audit of the Federal Reserve missed the point so completely that it leaves the informed observer wondering if the man is deeply disingenuous or astonishingly clueless:

"Some people say we ought to audit the Federal Reserve. Here's what I do know. The Federal Reserve already has so many internal audits it's ridiculous. I don't know why people think we're going to learn this great amount of information from the Federal Reserve. … Here's the advice I give to people who think we ought to audit the Federal Reserve. Call them up and ask them if you can have one of their PR people explain to you how the Federal Reserve operates. I think a lot of people are calling for the audit of the Federal Reserve because they don't know enough about it! There's no hidden secrets going on the Federal Reserve to my knowledge. We've got 12 Federal Reserve banks, find out which district you're in, call them up and go from there! We don't need to waste money with another commission or an audit. It's not necessary. Because, folks, we've got a lot of other problems we need to worry about."

 This is untrue. There is no bigger or more central problem facing America than the one posed by its current financial system.

So we don't need an audit of the entity that controls our money supply because it audits itself. It's a like a self-cleaning oven - don't worry about a thing. Don't pay attention to the fact that our currency has been devalued by 98% since 1913. Our enemies could only hope to do that much damage to us. One might conclude that the Fed is our enemy. Color me unimpressed with Mr. Cain's answer to the most serious question facing us all - economic collapse. I hear conservatives say that Mr. Cain will really rock the Establishment. Folks, if he worked for the Fed and is still towing their pathetic line like a Soviet apparatchik, Mr. Cain IS the Establishment. That response is something out of Baghdad Bob's script-wizard, everything is fine - nothing to see here - move along and bask in my down-home "fat and sassy" speeches.

Herman Cain was confronted on his enthusiastic 2008 support of the TARP bailouts. Mr. Cain says he was taken out of context, but if you read the whole thing, there really is no other way you can take it, except that central banking is the best thing since sliced bread, which really isn't that great either!
Here's the confrontation, you be the judge:

It reminds me of that scene in Ghostbusters - Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!

Herman, when someone asks if you support the Fed sending our money to foreign banks like Libya and China, you say NO! Mr. Cain seemed more than a little defensive there. If you've changed your mind about TARP, then do it with confidence and a smile, not saying "ok?!" in a defensive manner. That's my political advice for you because in the conservative circles, thanks to Glenn Beck and others, there is a Level 2 awareness of the Fed and if you don't address this issue head-on, it is going to bite you in the behind big time when this gets out. Most conservatives are unaware of Mr. Cain's Fed and bailout loving positions of the very recent past. He'd better get a better game plan of explaining that than saying you don't have time to answer the question and running away. That kind of thing might just go viral.

100 Years of Banksters - Some Things Never Change!

A great passage from Charles A. Lindberg's book, Why Your Country is at War. I have emphasized the parts we have recently experienced. This is a mock conversation between a politician, a bankster (probably a direct forebear of JP Morgan Chase), and a farmer.

Tell me if you're not blown away by the similarities.

THE FARMER AND WALL STREET SPECULATOR AFT'ER EMERGENCY CURRENCY

Mr. Politician: Good morning, Mr. Speculator; what brought you to Washington again and at such a time as this? I thought when we gave you your Federal Reserve Banking System that that would satisfy you forever.

Mr. Speculator: Good morning, Mr. Politician. Don't twit me of the past. I wish to see you in private till we can talk over the most important business that ever was on this earth.

Mr. Politician: You evidently think me high up in the political councils here. I pretend to no such great importance. If you have such important business, there should be more of us in conference. No man is big enough to tackle the most important business ever, but I will listen to what you have to say.

Mr. Speculator: Of course we understand each other, but even at that it may be well for you to practice your modesty—to keep on the safe side. I know the importance of your help. We may as well be perfectly frank with each other. Even the greatest of things must begin some where and with some one. There is absolutely no time to waste. You know I am a product of Wall Street and "big business." I represent it. It is in danger this very minute—unfortunately so, for in spite of its danger, it also has its greatest opportunity. We must have help immediately from Congress, for this sudden war, no one can tell when or where it will end, or who or which nations it will involve. Our business was always on a great scale, but this sudden war burst upon us and we have not the capacity to take advantage of it unless Congress helps us. Financial help we demand. We now control $20,000,000,000 of bank deposits to run the business of the country, including our promoting enterprises. We have some deposits of our own, but who knows when the depositors might start a run, lick up the deposits and prevent our taking advantage of speculating on the war business. War business o'ffers the greatest and the most rapid means of building immense fortunes, something worth while to us Americans. We must act quickly, for now is our opportunity to make America the financial center of the world, and our friends to dominate. Germany is pushing out in every direction her vast armies for invasion. Russia is mobilizing and moving her great forces for action. France is rapidly mobilizing and marching- her armies to hold the Germans in check. England, too, will immediately be in the whirl. The world may soon be at it, and I must inform my people that Congress will extend the unlimited credit of the Government to our banks. Without that immediate assurance, we would be forced to precipitate a panic tomorrow, the likes of which in its trail of financial ruin never has been equalled. What, Mr. Politician, have you to offer by way of suggestion for immediate action?

Mr. Politician: Some proposition this is, that you make—too big for me this morning. We shall have to get more of us together in order to figure out a plan of action and draft some bill to be enacted to give the relief. I am not for placing the financial credit of the Government behind those whom you represent, but we must meet the emergency. We must prepare some bill that will meet it.

Mr. Speculator: "Some bill!" No need to talk about "some bill." We have the plan and the bill prepared already. It is only a question of getting it enacted into law in the least time possible.
