Wall Street and FDR: Chapter 7

Roosevelt, Hoover, and the Trade Councils

People of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or on some contrivance to raise prices.
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (London: George Routledge, 1942), p. 102.

Getting society to work for the Elite is an idea as old as civilization itself. Ask the enslaved Israelites or the peasants living in medieval feudalism.

Our host, Dr. Antony Sutton gives us an old-timey example of the New Deal and the power of cartels buying laws that benefit themselves while posturing this collusion as good business for everyone:

9/11 Victims vs. US Justice Dept

over Al Qaeda's frozen assets. Apparently, the Justice Department doesn't want to share the booty with those who actually did the suffering. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer,

In a ferocious legal battle pitting government lawyers against victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the Justice Department is fighting to block thousands of individuals and businesses from taking $6.6 million in frozen al-Qaeda assets seized from an alleged terrorism financier.
Frozen by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2007, the money is sought by the attorneys for 6,000 individual victims and insurers who suffered billions in losses from the attacks on the World Trade Center.
The money, in a Chicago brokerage account controlled by senior al-Qaeda operative Abu al-Tayyeb until his arrest in Saudi Arabia in 2006, drew little public notice until lawyers for 9/11 victims moved in June to collect on a 2007 default judgment.

So before you start screaming Obama as the be-all end-all of everything wrong in America, know that this has been going on for a long time. I'll also remind you that the victims' families of the USS Cole are STILL awaiting some justice, in case you care about that kind of thing.  Note that the hubub is all about 6.6 million, which is chump change to a government with a printing press.

What's going on here? If you seriously ask that question, be prepared for the disturbing answers that will follow.

Ignorance of military history breeds sure destruction..

~Pope John Paul II

“War is the only game in which both sides lose.”
~Walter Scott

So there you have 2000 years of the greatest minds upon planet Earth telling us that our foreign policy is assinine, stupid, and destructive to the average person. Oh wait a minute, that's what the Elite's want! Those 100 years of public mind warping are paying off because when you confront an average neocon with all this, they'll just call you the stupid one. But generally, the American public at large is highly skeptical of the Orwellian war is peace mantra, so maybe there is some hope there.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

What you never knew about defense contracting...

...will shock you!

This is my biggest map EVER! So check it out and pass it along to anyone who wants to understand where 25% of the Federal Budget goes. It really is mindblowing! What I've got here is a fully fleshed out map of the top ten defense contractors.

According to this article, from Defense Procurement News, profits for these contractors are up. I would venture to say that profits have always been up for these companies since any of us can remember. We had the Cold War build up, the Reagan build up, and now the Islamic Terror buildup. It just keeps giving billions and billions of dollars to these contracting companies, who'll always get the money because the government owns a printing press called the Fed. Nice arrangement, huh? You see, the American citizen would get tired of all these wars a lot faster if there was butter rationing and tires were hard to come by. It's just easier this way, too bad it will all come crashing down sooner or later. But when it does, hey we've got martial law plans in place to be implemented by the ... defense contractors!!! The circle completes itself, no?


Let's really get into it because there is so much to pick out -this thing is HUGE, so it may take awhile to load:)

The Century of Self

This is a real good documentary to help clue you into how we got to where we are today. It is an Adam Curtis special illustrating how psychology, pubic relations, and the Sigmund Freud family captured and channeled mass consciousness. As a Christian, I see this totally playing into the prophesied "falling away".  As the Freudian influence on psychology waned, a new individualism took hold and was viewed as a means of further prompting demand for products. This began to play apart in the politics of the '80s, so I don't want the mention of Reagan to make all you Ron Reagan fans freak, as I find it a fascinating way to look at recent history with a fresh understanding. A word of warning  -the '60s part of the show is pretty icky as you can imagine. Anyway, you don't hear this at school or anywhere else.

Avoiding Puppet Candidates

Brandon Smith writes on How TO avoid candidates in the pocket of the banksters who are shamelessly pumping America's money overseas unaccountably. I know I've been fooled before because I didn't know what to look for. Brandon gives you the seven questions to ask before voting:

1)  Have They Ever Promised To Investigate, Audit, Or Dissolve The Private Federal Reserve Bank?
The Federal Reserve is the primary culprit in the creation of the derivatives and credit bubble.  Its use of artificially low interest rates inflated the housing market and by extension the U.S. economy, energizing international banking fraud and producing perhaps the greatest financial black hole in history.  It is currently staving off the effects of this collapse through the constant printing of fiat money from thin air, setting up the U.S. for a currency implosion of epic proportions.  
If your candidate has never made more than a passing sound bite comment on the Federal Reserve and what they plan to do about the poisonous debt and dollar devaluation that the private central bank has generated, then it is likely they are either too ignorant to understand how the institution operates, or, they know full well the problem, and plan to do nothing about it.  Ask directly any politician you plan to vote for; will they promise to fully audit and or shut down the Federal Reserve, especially if foul play or corruption is discovered?  If they defend the Fed, or dance around the question, then they are not on your side, nor on the side of true free markets and a stable economy.     

Wall Street and FDR: Chapter 6

Prelude to the New Deal

In this chapter we will be setting the stage further for the full explosion of corporate socialism in America that has reached its terminal stage in our nation today. We will be exploring the history of Roosevelt's past and how they were down with collectivism before the Civil War. Says our host, Dr. Sutton:

The full story of the construction of corporate socialism in the United States, as envisaged by the financier-philosophers identified in the previous chapter, is beyond the scope of this book, but we can gain greater perspectives through a brief look at a few facets of the historical process: for example, Clinton Roosevelt's system a century before FDR, Bernard Baruch's War Industries Board, and Paul Warburg's Federal Reserve System.

Fred Thompson, A Globalist Exposed

Former Fredhead here feeling pretty betrayed by someone I thought was All-American. Just goes to show how uneducated I was the last election cycle. Following the first rule of blogging, if someone has already done the work, share it. Tom Kovach, a fellow Tennessean had this to write in the last presidential cycle on Sen. Fred Thompson and clues you into how a state full of liberty loving people wind up with CFR tools in high office:

Ayatollah Santorum the Sanctimonious (ASS)

This little nugget was written by
 Thomas DiLorenzo
via LRC.

The freedom to do whatever you want to do – as long as you do not harm anyone else or interfere in their equal freedom – would "lead to libertinism and lead to chaos" said Sanctimonious Santorum, who has also pledged to do what he can to put an end to contraception if elected president. Contraception changes "the way things ought to be," he says. Santorum is self assured that he, and he alone, understands "the way things ought to be" and pledges to use the powers of the state to forcefully impose his "understanding" 

But the founding fathers are known as champions of freedom, are they not? But what kind of freedom? According to Santorum, who apparently fancies himself as an historian, freedom in America means "the freedom to do what you ought to do – what you are properly ordered to do [by a politician like himself] – as someone living a good, decent, and ordered life" (emphasis added). "That’s the differentiation that I believe Ron Paul and I have with respect to what liberty is," said Santorum. To Rick Santorum, "freedom" means doing what government "properly" orders you to do, as long as government is controlled by good, proper, moral people like himself, the K-Street lobbyist for the Pennsylvania coal mining industry (and anyone else who will pay his huge fees for influence peddling).

This is not the view of the American founding fathers, as Santorum claims. It is more likely to have been the mindset of the founders of the Soviet Union, not the American union. It is the mindset of the neoconservatives whose founding members were, after all, Trotskyite communists. This includes the self-described "godfather" of neoconservatism, the late Irving Kristol, who reveled in talking about his youthful Trotskyite roots. 

If Santorum really wanted to know how the founding fathers defined freedom he would not make up imaginary, two-century old dictionary entries but would read what the founders actually said. A good place to start would be Thomas Jefferson’s first inaugural address where he stated: "[A] wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government . . ." It is hard to imagine that Jefferson, the author of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom that strongly opposed the governmental imposition of any religious views on anyone while defending religious liberty in general, would have admired an Uber-Catholic Theocrat like Santorum. For government to compel a man to support a religious cause with which he disbelieves, wrote Jefferson, is "sinful and tyrannical."

 I would argue that Ricky isn't an uber-Catholic, but a political hack who'll keep pimping out his religious affiliation for as many gullible fools as possible. Am I being unjust? Not for a guy who took $100k of taxpayer money to cyber educate. That's a lot of field trips man...

When Ron Paul says that such victimless crimes as prostitution or smoking pot should be decriminalized, says Santorum, "that’s not the moral foundation of our country," once again pretending to be The Expert on the thinking of the founding fathers. There’s one problem with Santorum’s historical revisionism, however. Prostitution was in fact pervasive in Colonial America. Prostitutes traveled with George Washington’s army, serving as nurses and cooks as well as prostitutes. In fact, there were no laws in America banning prostitution until Massachusetts enacted the first one in 1917. (The 1910 "Mann Act," named after Congressman James Mann, prohibited "white slavery" for the purpose of prostitution). Federal laws against prostitution were first enacted after women got the right to vote and immediately outlawed prostitution in the vicinity of military bases when their husbands and boyfriends were off serving in the military. In other words the founding fathers agreed with Ron Paul, not Rick Santorum, on personal liberty issues.

 America is "not just a collection of freedoms," said the insufferably sanctimonious Santorum. It is, instead, a collection of orders from the state defining what "proper" behavior is. Stalin himself could not have said it better.

TSA Detects Steel Balls on Rand Paul - Detains

This is an outrage and I would hope that there would be tremendous blowback and a huge discussion on what the TSA is really all about. I think it is obvious by now that it is not our security but another control mechanism. For one thing, it's a huge government jobs project. For another, it's a valuable tool in the police state arsenal. And also, I've documented how it was a money maker for former Dept of Homeland Secretary, Michael Chertoff, who's company was invested in the naked body scanners. In that same post, I documented how the underwear bomber got on that flight to Detroit with the full knowledge of the State Dept, despite being on the no-fly list.

The fact that this is going on within driving distance of my house disgusts me beyond measure. I feel literally sick to my stomach. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord... Things like this are very instructive to anyone who has doubt about who's on what team.

It's the banksters versus the people.
It's Hamilton vs. Jefferson.
It's collectivism vs. freedom.
It's secular humanism vs. Christianity.
It's the masses vs. the remnant.

If your blood doesn't boil over this, it must be blue and you must be a bankster.

Thank you God for the Pauls.

Adam from Mythbusters tells you just how effective TSA is. There might be and f-bomb, so watch for that. Overall, very instructive:

Oh, and recently TSA misses loaded gun, in case you think this is about security at all.

Amazing juxtaposition for all you Ronaldus Maximus lovers.

from the Daily Paul.

Soros, Paul, and Defense - The Lowdown

So now I hear that Ron Paul, lasseiz-faire economist extraordinaire is somehow in league with commie Soros over this Sustainable Defense Task Force which includes these people:

• Carl Conetta, Project on Defense Alternatives
• Benjamin H. Friedman, Cato Institute
• William D Hartung, New America Foundation
• Christopher Hellman, National Priorities Project
• Heather Hurlburt, National Security Network
• Charles Knight, Project on Defense Alternatives
• Lawrence J. Korb, Center for American Progress
• Paul Kawika Martin, Peace Action
• Laicie Olson, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
• Miriam Pemberton, Institute for Policy Studies
• Laura Peterson, Taxpayers for Common Sense
• Prasannan Parthasarathi, Boston College
• Christopher Preble, Cato Institute
• Winslow Wheeler, Center for Defense Information

Ron Paul and fellow Republican Walter B Jones of NC along with Barney Frank and Dem Ron Wyden of OR represented a bipartisan effort to see what lurks in the Defense Department, which accounts for 25% of the Federal Budget. If you want to cut the Federal Government, you have to be willing to look at everything. So many honest people in the military and Defense Department are screaming to the world about the waste, but we just tell them to shut up and wave the flag harder. 

I see some real amateurs out there freaking out because George Soros is affiliated with some of these think tank groups. Remember that you must always see how people are linked, because you can link anyone to Kevin Bacon with five degrees of separation. 

There's no doubt that George Soros is heavily invested in the Defense Sector. What? You didn't know that? George Soros has been affiliated with the Carlyle Group, a topic I dealt with here.

So we've definitely got a lot of libs here, which is not surprising as they have been watching the Defense Department  grow unchecked for years. The true believers would be excited to shrink the Defense Department. But what about Lawrence Korb, a former Joint Chief of Staff doing in this list, as a member of Soro's Center for American Progress???  And what's this Wheeler fellow a member of--the Center for Defense Information?  Another liberal group looking to downsize the military with Anthony Zinni, former Commander in Chief, Central Command among its ranks?  We've got a couple of Cato people there, too. 

Let me just cut right to it and tell you what is going on here. Playas like Soros are keeping the liberal flames fired up with hopes of scaling back the war fever of American foreign policy. For one thing, this keeps one side of the population focused on this issue and the other half excited about vilifying that half. Meanwhile, the conservative half argues about scaling back the welfare state and domestic government while never questioning what's going on out of our borders or how much money is flowing overseas. While we little people quibble over non-issues (like who showed up a paid shill at a debate), these globalists are bleeding our country dry.  Let's look inside Soros' mind shall we? He wrote the following books:

The Alchemy of Finance (1988)
Opening the Soviet System (1990)
Underwriting Democracy:Encouraging Free Enterprise and Democratic Reform Among the Soviets and in Eastern Europe (1991)
Soros on Soros: Staying Ahead of the Curve (1995, with Byron Wien)
The Crisis of Global Capitalism: Open Society Endangered (1998)
Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism (2000)
George Soros on Globalization (2002)
The Bubble of American Supremacy: Correcting the Misuse of American Power (2003)
The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror (2006)
The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means (2008)

How much does he emphasize globalization? Listen up proles, you're not playing in the same ballgame as these people at all. They see the world as their oyster and are just arguing about how to best carve it up. Excuse me if I don't go on and on about how awful George Soros is, as I refuse to live in that kind of fearful, agitated mindset. I lump Soros in with the Rockefellers, Warburgs, and the rest of our Elite friends. I don't like them, and will continue to expose them.

I think that Ron Paul takes every advantage when it comes to reducing the Federal Government and that's why he joined up with liberals in an attempt to reduce the size of the Defense Department, the largest employer in the world, when you include contractors. This is how he got his historic partial audit of the Federal Reserve, the first of its kind since the Fed's inception. Of course, George Soros tentacles would be hanging off of the liberals, that goes with out saying. 

Bottom line: the connection here is extremely weak.

Warvangelicals - MUST READ

This is a great post by Coach Daubenmire who wrote this great post:
Here's a taste:

It is not popular to say it in Evangelical circles, but Christians should not rejoice in the killing of innocent Muslim women and children. Each one is a potential child of the Living God and Christians should be more interested in flooding the Middle East with Bibles rather than bombs. Just War...remember? Currently, they are more interested in “spreading democracy” than they are in spreading the Gospel.
God is judging America, not because we are turning our backs on Israel, but because we are a decadent, insolent, greedy, blood-thirsty nation that winks at the shedding of innocent blood in the womb, while we “high-five” the killing of innocent children in other parts of the world. We have rejected God. Our works are "continuously evil in His sight" and our hands are stained with innocent blood.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deut. 30:19.
America is dying because we have chosen death and Warvangelicals are the varsity cheerleaders of the War Party.

Please, please, read the rest.

The Muslim world is hungry for the Bread of Life, but wherever our military goes, the Christian population suffers the most. How can they hear if there is no preacher? Historically, the Gospel has traveled on trade routes, but the Enemy would cut those off. Remember, Christian soldiers that we are in a war against powers and principalities and the spoils are not lands and monies, but the souls of men. The followers of Islam are following an evil Hittite moon religion warmed over to get Mohammed rich and laid, that is an established fact. The answer is not bombing them into submission for that is a war without end. Jesus was clear on how to overcome evil - with good. He also said that those who live by the sword (and many make a LOT of $$$ from war) will die by the sword. The idea of perfect Liberty in Christ is an idea that spreads like water over the earth, although the blood of martyrs is often required. The Muslim people were created by the same God and long in their hearts for Holy Spirit. I hope that if you profess Christ, you are praying for them to know the same freedom in Christ that you have been gracious to receive, for at one time a missionary came to your ancestors who were worshiping around a totem pole and shared the Word with them. If you don't have this burden for the souls of your fellow man, then you might want to check and see if your Election is sure.

In 1999 Coach Daubenmire was sued by the ACLU for praying with his teams while coaching high school in Ohio. He now spends his energy fighting for Christian principles in the public domain.

Meet Your Elites: Bill Kristol

I don't have time to do this justice. But if you don't understand the Kristol's and their impact on conservatism and foreign policy, then you're missing a huge puzzle piece. Instead of writing you a research paper, I'll just let these boys tell you about it. Apparently, Ron Paul makes Billy boy uncomfortable. Isn't that sad? Don't you just want to rewrite the Constitution to make Bill Kristol comfortable. In this clip from the Robert Scott Bell Show, they deconstruct Bill Kristol for the average political junkie.

C. Everett Koop Wrote Forward To Ron Paul's Book

Yes, Ron Paul wrote a book in 1983 entitled Abortion and Liberty where he discusses the ramifications of the heinous act of the murder of innocents. Ronald Reagan's Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop wrote the forward where he praises Paul's thoughtful position on this issue and its impact on the natural rights of men:

ForewordOne might wonder why another book on abortion. Is there anything to say except the tricky alliteration of a new slogan? Has someone found a new message? Is there a person out there with credentials no one else seems to have?The answer to that last question is: “Yes.” Ron Paul is not only a physician, but he was trained in the discipline of obstetrics and gynecology and therefore is a the front lines in the battle against abortion. This physician was then elected to Congress four times and looks back on abortion as a problem he saw in biomedical ethics as a student, then as a resident and finally as a practitioner of obstetrics.The fresh insights that Ron Paul, the physician, brings to the question of abortion stem from the experience he developed as a Member of Congress, as he contemplated the relationship between natural rights and a free society.It is true that some of the old arguments about rights, viability, mother versus child, child abuse, health of the mother, and rape are considered in these pages. There is much more. The unique contribution found in this book is the examination of a free society in reference to that society’s responsibilities. Perhaps another way of stating it is that there is an examination of the child’s rights versus the mother’s obligations.The concluding warning is clear: a disregard for human life will not expand human freedom.The individual rights we all cherish are rooted in the value we assign to human life, especially innocent human life. The author’s credentials are unique and so is his approach to the diverse social problem abortion has become in our day.C.Everett Koop, M.D., Sc.D. 5 

Make a note of this, people. Unbelievers are watching Christians like thieves right now, many of them are supporting Dr. Paul in spite of being pro-choice. They see a lot of hypocrisy in professing Christians who talk and talk about being pro-life for little unborn babies, but don't bat an eye when a child in Pakistan is blown to bits by a US drone. They don't even care what unseen hands are guiding our foreign policy to do such things, having turned to idolatry and man-worship to store their trust in. I see a huge potential for soul-winning here, but too many "Christians" are enjoying their 10 minute hate sessions to see it.

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.

History: It's Your Birthright!

History Channel, eat your heart out. I've discovered the Ultimate History Lesson. This thing is five hours, but is superior to several years of traditional schooling and hours of History Channel viewing. You do know that the History Channel is owned by the following: A&E Television Networks(Hearst Corporation (42.5%),Disney-ABC Television Group(42.5%), NBCUniversal (15%)) Yes, that would be our SOPA loving friends the banksters. 

Six Corporations Own Everything You See and Hear

Shouldn't you be concerned or the least bit suspicious?
Here's a great excerpt from Blacklisted News:

Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States.  Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations.  These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day.  They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don't even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest.  Most Americans don't really seem to care about who owns the media.  But they should.  The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media.  The average American watches 153 hoursof television a month.  In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something.  Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year.   

Read the rest... 

So yes, they have talking points that apparently would only have to have six cc's on it. They repeat the same mantras over and over again. You've seen Jon Stewart play the talking points over and over for laughs, you've seen Rush do it on his show to expose how the liberal media work together. It's called Operation Mockingbird and we've talked about it before. The conservative media is every bit as bad, for I could do a bit showing their lockstep talking points as well. It's about controlled conflict, but it's becoming about as obvious as one of those WWF fights that this stuff is as phony as it comes. And what really kills me is when I see bloggers and commenters cutting and pasting some of this Pravda-like garbage without the vetting the information for themselves. When I see FoxNews reports...you might as well say Mickey Mouse reports for it means the same to me unless I can verify it. Now there might be a kernel of truth behind what they're asserting, but how is it being twisted? Food for thought.

His Provision, which is always sufficient. It only took 9 months, new floors, dropped price, and our moving out to do it, but am so happy its over with.

My new house is very nice. It has five bedrooms and a school room, which in the homeschool world is called "living the dream". The school room is working out pretty well as that's where I've got my kindergartner and 3rd grader, who share the subjects of English, Science and History. I can go back and forth between their desks with their math and writing. I also have a recliner down there for snuggling up for reading lessons. The toy room adjoins so the toddler and baby can play. The girls room also adjoins, which is where my 7th grader does her work at her desk. This is all down in the basement aka kid cave. We are really enjoying our new house, which is exactly what we needed, but weren't really looking for until we got transferred. Did I mention we've upsized to a one acre lot? I need to start planning the garden now. Probably need to plan the recipes/canning now. There's nothing worse than having buckets and buckets of cucumbers and no plan!

Anyhow, I'll be getting back to blogging for real soon. Never a dull moment there!
