Money and Power

I have never really been interested in American politics, much less global politics. Even after 9/11 and being in the Air Force during and after that horrific day I just ignored the political environment. That all started to change, though slowly, during the 2008 presidential election season. After Obama became president and we were getting “bailed out” I started watching and reading the “mainstream media” news a little more, but they weren't answering my questions. Like how can you print $1.7 trillion dollars during the first bailout (QE1) and another $600 billion during the second bailout (QE2) and the economy is worse and there are more unemployed than before the printing? Where are the thousands of jobs we were supposed to see? Where did all this money go? This doesn't make sense, well it didn't make sense.

They say that the President of The United States is the most powerful man in the world. They also say that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. Well, Forbes magazine now has him listed as the second richest man in the world. Both of these statements are false and are what they want us to believe. Anyone can become President of The United States and along with it the most powerful person on Earth. If anyone showed us this to be true it was Barrack Obama right? Bill Gates is a self-made billionaire, which means with the right idea anyone can become the richest man in the world. Well, the fortune of the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds, among others, make Bill Gates look like a middle class citizen, and with their control over the central banks of the world, who really holds the power? Who has the control and power in this global economy? Follow the money!

I know the web of politics can be boring and confusing. Who's lying to you today? Who has you in their best interest? What policy is good and what policy is bad? I get it I get it. But probably the most misunderstood and unknown process in this world is how money is made and how it is distributed. PLEASE learn how this seemingly basic and simple idea is not what you would think it is and how it ultimately controls EVERYTHING.

Here are some easy to watch cartoons that are a great starting block for this topic of money creation and monetary supply.

"A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army...We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."

Thomas Jefferson

"Regarding the Great Depression, you’re right, we did it."

Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman
