scriabinop23 is a perfect example of why central banks are so profitable and so powerful. He's reasonably intelligent, but doesn't understand how money works. I sometimes wonder if we can do this when a majority of the population will never understand. scriabinop23, go do some more research...

So it was deleted because it might have turned into a heated discussion? Pre-emptive deletions. Is that like pre-emptive strikes? I'm reminded of Orwell, 1984, and Bush. Thought crime. What's that movie with Tom Cruise? Pre-crimes.

It's amazing people believe that bankers' interests and the public's interests are aligned. "what the Fed should do", "the right medicine", nostalgia for Volcker, etc. Central banks and the BIS are soley interested in maximizing profits. Any concern for us is only to the extent they don't...

Before the Fed, we were on a bi-metallic standard (gold and silver). At that time bankers owned most of the gold and the people owned most of the silver, so the bankers' goal was to eliminate silver as money. The Wizard of Oz was an allegory for this. The bankers won. During the Great...

Three pages of posts discussing Ron Paul, his chances for election, and how it would change the way this country is run. (Significantly changing its economics) What happened to the thread? It's not in chit chat or politics.

Boom/busts may exist, but they are amplified when private banks control money. For example, the bank panic of 1907 was engineered to sell the public on the need for the Federal Reserve. It took them 6 more years of lobbying, but they finally got the Fed through. Then what happened? The...

Have you read any of his books? He's clueless. His cluelessness was the reason he was picked. He's the fall guy.

Eliminate all currencies and the bankers can give us a one world currency (backed by gold). Their wet dream come true.

Forget bailouts and monetary solutions... an unexplained arson epidemic on the outskirts of every midsize city in the US would solve everything. Instant housing shortage and plenty of jobs! Just find a couple hundred pyromaniacs and give them a free pass. Let them do what they love! Win...

Why don't you try blaming your unhappiness on you? Attributing causation based on a correlation you've noticed in a population of one isn't terribly intelligent if you ask me.

Momentum is building... He's going to win. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8PwoV4_Ds0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2EH_TRa6aU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFAEDom3j8M

I believe IB has servers on that side of the world. Their connection with the US would certainly be fast. Besides.. you can always trade the markets there. I'd go... been to Thailand many times. Vietnam and Hainan are on the list next. Also thinking about Venezuela, Chile and Argentina...

You may be right about parliament vs. constitutional republic. But we're talking about a bloodless revolution at the moment. What do you mean by "wasted" vote? If you want to be on the right side of the election trade, place your bet: www.sportsbook.com Voting for what you believe in...

Our founding fathers understood that democracy is the worst form of government. 51% can dominate the other 49%. Mob rule. That is why we were designed as a Republic. Incidentally that is also why we are continually sold on the idea that we are a Democracy. That's a lie. Well, it was a...

I realize you're pissed and I agree that your cynicism has merit. But you should look into it a bit more before assuming every action is perfectly choreographed by an all-powerful elite. Many things are certainly planned, but you may be overestimating "them".

You're mistaken. Bloomberg has been cast as Perot. Ron Paul is what they fear.

I've been involved in the Ron Paul grassroots efforts since January. Support for him is growing exponentially and he has a very real chance of winning. 50% of us don't vote because we intuitively know it's a meaningless vote. That's 50% of the public who are Ron Paul supporters and just...

What? And start the scam over again?

Sticking your head in the sand doesn't make the bad guys go away.

Or maybe the people will wake up and demand Ron Paul as their President. The Fed must be abolished.
