During FDR's presidency his own secretary of treasury noted that after 8 years of trying to spend our way out of this depression unemployment is the same as when we started and the only thing which has changed is our bigger debt. Government spending does not stimulate the economy. It was only after the forced austerity of WW2 and the conclusion of massive government spending upon it's completion that our nation got back on track economically. The New Deal was a failure: /watch?v=xWAgt_YCNuw
Should have talked more about Roosevelt! I had to talk about him for history class, so I know he faced a tough time. Aproving the two "New Deals", which contained tons of laws that helped ease the situation, and fixing the banking system, among others, were some of the important actions he too.
I also faced a doubt that I've been asking around, but seem to find no answer to it, and it is: In1936, there was a rapid expansion rhythm, and prices quickly rose. Afraid of a "speculative boom " Roosevelt ended the budget deficit, which in turn caused ANOTHER smaller depression, augmenting the unemployment. Question is: What is the succession of causes and consequences that takes you from ending the budget deficit to the augmenting of unemployment?
Thanks for this, Lori. but i still feel like all the "outcome: positives" were more than a bit facetious, seeing as how those "solutions" led, in part, to the situation we find ourselves in now.

Instead of abandoning the stupid government spending tactics that is destroying the private sector and racking up our debt into oblivion, he demands more of it.

@truthforamerica how does government spending destroy the private sector? And please don't give me some bs answer like "look it up." If you can't explain it to someone than you shouldn't be saying it.
The Fed shouldn't be a private bank. The autonomy of Greek and Italian private bank accounts should end and they should use their own money to save their own country. Instead of using (everybodies money) that EU fund. Nobody is careful with other peoples money. Now even Hugary wan't a piece of that big pot of EU pie and they ain't even in the eurozone. For the rest Europe should have a S-euro and a N-euro. South Europe doesn't export with that euro and only by exporting an economy can grow.
The problem with Greece and why Germany and Holland don't want to pay their debts, is because Greek got 600 billion euro on their private Swiss bank accounts. When we lend Greece money (due to that EU fund), everybody gets happy. The Greek get happy, they don't pay tax, they can fill their Swiss bank accounts more, those have autonomy. The banks get happy, because they didn't make a mistake lending Greek money. The German are screwed, because now we don't see that money back instead of the banks

who orchestrated the first 2 world wars? the same elements who orchestrate our current decline. hamilton did the right thing by dismantling the federal bank. better a 5 -6 years depression than a permanent one.
There is more than just a money issue that the protests are about and back then manufacturing would have stayed in this country to effectively give people jobs to pay the debt back too.
Easier to run the show when people are fractured. Simple divide and conquer strategy put into play by the real people in power - not the politicians. Another reason they are trying to break down and further regulate the internet. They see how powerful it is becoming and will become in the next 10 years. More and more people are getting more accurate news from free-lancing bloggers/reddit/youtube, etc. and not from main stream media. Loss of control.
How to be in debt of invisible currency, without being a debt slave in the end.
All this "END THE FED" vs "Regulate so it's not corrupt and against the people" issue is just confusing lol. Especially with "switch to Gold/Silver!" where there are such low amounts.
Or go to the extreme Zeitgeist movement of "resource economy" but our society thrives on the current system of profits.
I really miss these very thoughtful, demure interviews from you, Lori. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy your humourous interviews as well, but this was a breath of fresh air from your normally more aggressive videos.
And just to note, there WAS a lot of opposition against FDR's domestic policies and, not ironically, the word "socialist" was thrown around a lot. And while I count myself among conservatives, I do believe that sometimes personal wealth must take a backseat to larger national issues.
Woodrow Wilson was our WORST president. The Fed was officially created in 1913...the same year as the Federal Income Tax(16th amendment). Basically the Founding Fathers America died in 1913 when Woodrow Wilson was fooled by the bankster elitists. Woodrow Wilson admitted:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.....The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men."
This is a Fed bootlicker. Alexander Hamilton was an agent for the Rothschilds and focused on extending the European central bank in America. Thomas Jefferson HATED Hamilton, but was unable to eliminate him(Aaron Burr took care of that). Andrew Jackson was one of our greatest presidents who was man enough to challenge the central bank. His actions eliminated the Second Bank of the United States (Nicholas Biddle). Andrew Jackson is the only president to pay off the national debt.
This guys an idiot. He completely avoids mentioning that we can only pay for these wars with a federal reserve bank due to its ability to print money. if we didn't have a fed and relied on taxation alone we would run out of money pretty quick. Even the President of the Museum DAVID J. COWEN is a bankster. Sounds like a museum of propaganda.
The Fed doesnt need to be ended - it serves a purpose. It needs to be NATIONALIZED though - that kind of power does not belong in the hands of private business.
Lori he is providing the banker's perspective, yet it is the bankers who caused the current crisis. Why not interview someone more honest, like Bill Still or G. Edward Griffin?
Thank you for your vids. This is a good one. Everybody has an opinion and few if any know their history or seemingly anything that their talking heads haven't told them to think. In short your awesome.
You're a moron. The fed doesn't regulate this criminal banksterism that's going on. The fed is a privately owned bank, owned primarily by the Rothschilds who are the MOST MURDEROUS FAMILY IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY. They've funded both sides of every war since the US revolution. THAT'S why people are saying get rid of the FED is because the FED is pure evil, owned by evil people used to manipulate the living conditions of the WHOLE WORLD, and rips people off by inflation as they print money.
The depression after Jackson beat The Bank was surely due the Rothschilds manipulation by their agents in US industry. We don't need just to END THE FED. We need to END all manner of dominance and institute DIRECT DEMOCRACY like Switzerland has had for 800 years. Nobody should be doing what they do daily because they get money to do it. People should be doing what they do because it's decent and tends provable universal benefit, essentially all job types should be direct democratically approved.
ALL depressions are CONTRIVED. Financially manipulated depressions have plagued society since time immemorial. Humanity has NEVER run out of resources sufficient to support the population. The financial dominant has enforced conditions that snatch to him control, dominance at the cost of lives of the underclass. Jumping on that bandwagon is traitorous. Watch him use his space flight ejection seat while he laughs watching your bandwagon ride over a cliff into a magma pit you fkn moron.
@danielvincentkelley Go learn something. The Fed is NOT a privately owned bank. It does have elements of private control, but those who originally fought for a private bank lost their plan when progressive democrats got their way (and controlled Congress). It's history, not some evil conspiracy theory. Again, go learn something. There's lots of things wrong with the country that need fixing and attention, but stupid conspiracy theories do nothing but detract from real issues.
You're a fkn moron. The FED is NOT under congressional control. The Fed is a power unto itself and defies all control attemptedly imposed by The US Federal Government. It's not conspiracy theory, it's a conspiratorial CRIME. I'd tell you to go learn something but I'm pretty sure you already know and are parroting all that Rothschild propaganda for pay like a good Nazi scum bag. You're dumb. That's real.
@danielvincentkelley Who's the moron? I never said the Fed was under Congressional control you moron. The Fed was set up under a compromise. So it is neither fully private nor fully government controlled. That's what compromise means you nazi scum bag. Did that give a big erection calling me all those names? You're a sad sad man.
Fk you, you fed c*nt cheerleader. The fed is pure evil. There's not supposed to be anything more powerful in the US than The People, yet The People don't even have a say in how the Fed operates, not even through congress, who as a gaggle of treacherous swine lords allow The Fed to tell them how The Fed is going to operate, traitorously, and that The Congress doesn't even get to know how it is The Fed is doing what it does. You should be in a sh*t can with all that.
@danielvincentkelley History isn't biased or working toward an agenda, nor it is refutable that, when the Fed was dismantled in the era the historian talks about, the country dove into economic decline. That's just a fact, not a moronic opinion, as you put it. The fed is utterly mismanaged and needs incredible reform today, but to get rid of ANY regulating system and let the banks have complete free will isn't the only solution on the table.
@theresident Sorry, Lori, but you're the one who needs a history lesson. The Fed operates under the protocols of fractional reserve banking. Printing monetized instruments of debt lacking any collateral at all. The very notion that the deficit will ALWAYS exceed the principal (money supply) due to the implementation of compound interest is inherently corrupt.
@theresident Continued... These flaws ensure that inflation and debt collapse (bankruptcy) are inevitable and literally built into the system, given that there's NEVER enough money in circulation to pay back the outstanding loans. How could you exonerate our current system that transfers full power to the banking cartels which caused our current economic turmoil and ensures social stratification?
@theresident - Where do you get the idea that the fed is mismanaged and needs "incredible" reform? Translating monetary theory into monetary policy is a mistake-prone activity!! So any fed must be granted some slack. Second, economists of every kind were uniformly optimistic (see Alan Greenspan), contributing to our problems. 3) People in the Fed are economists, not financiers, and that may be the reason that they were not aware of the horrible house loans being made -- how could they know??
The Fed is NOT regulating the banks you fkn moron. The SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION is what is SUPPOSED TO regulate the fed. The fed is a PRIVATELY OWNED BANK whose primary purpose is to PRINT MONEY, which CONSTANTLY DEBASES THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR. Makes dollars worth sh*t. The dollar is worth less than 2 cents today as compared to the dollar on the gold standard AND that's a direct result of the existence of ROTHSCHILD'S fed reserve bank. The FED MUST BE ELIMINATED. It's criminal.
Keep cheering on gross criminality and calling it a regulatory body. They're going to need to erase the evidence you hold in your brain as participant, propaganda minister, in their crime scheme, Rothschild's murderous criminal enterprise, the Fed.
That the country went in a depression after The People attacked the financial oligarchy, is a matter brilliantly obvious as to who was to blame. JUST the US tossing out Rothschild's Fed Reserve bank is not enough. We need to prosecute the Rothschilds and all the heads of industry and snatch the world from their grasp that nobody toil and bleed at the Rothschild's behest ever again, to include closing ALL of the "central banks" the Rothschild's own, which is the central bank of every nation.
@theresident I'm not a historian, but I will point out that there are alternative explanations of the crisis than just the abolition of the Second Bank of America. Plus, even if you're right and the crisis was promted by nothing but that, that's not an argument for central banking, it just shows that you can't build a system around a Fed and then, all of a sudden, remove the Fed. Libertarians don't wanna do that, we say it's wrong to have a central bank to begin with.
@semperFi4ever100 So, you feel that since the current system is built around a central banking concept, there needs to be deep fundamental changes. I agree.... revolution.
@blacklite911 Doesn't have to be, we do have intelligent politicians, only a few, but still, who wanna change the system from within. We just need to stop electing the morons into power. For example, if they really make the PATRIOT act permanent, I agree, it is time for another revolution. If, in contrary, someone like Ron Paul becomes president, maybe we'll be fine without one.
Stop electing morons? That's all it'll take. I read that in some places it costs $10,000 JUST TO GET ON THE BALLOT. How many people do you suppose have ten grand to throw away on a hope of being elected to congress? People who do have ten grand to throw away for access to the election OBVIOUSLY are going to want something back for their investment. The system is thoroughly broken. There will be no fix from within. Politicians pretend it are just gaming the system
Eliminating the central bank doesn't end "the country". The People will still be here. The resources will still be here. No central bank has ever been "under the control of the people". That's like saying, congress should be "under the control of the people". OBVIOUSLY 600 guys telling 300 million people to bend over and grad their ankles is NOT any great system of government. The only service the central bank provides universally is carrying convenience of paper money
@danielvincentkelley the terminology under the control of the people" requires further explanation. Technically any democracy/republic government is supposed to be under the control of the people, the elected officials are just supposed to be stewards. Also, Ron Paul doen't want to end the fed, he wants to pull it under government's control. Now, if we are successful in making ALL elected officials accountable to the people, then the fed will be in control of the people.
How are you going to make the elected officials accountable to the people while ALL the judges in America (except MAYBE half a dozen) are brutal criminals as bad as the cops and congress? There's no checks on the present corporate crony government. Eventually they'll be divided and conquered, but only then by the same criminal mastermind that is murdering the world with disease, starvation, warfare and financial dominance.
It if was just congress and the president that were corrupt, there might be a hope to repair this system from within. As it is, the president, the military, the congress, the judges, the heads of industry, all billionaires are murderously corrupt. I just heard an interview a guy saying his cop friend up for promotion and his military buddy seeking reenlistment were both asked if they're willing to fire on US citizens. That's how boldly murderous this government is.
Obviously that's not going to be fixed by this murderous government, that the murderous governments rip off scheme be curtailed. If the government feels at ease to boldly plan murdering Americans, why do you think they'd back off from their trillion dollar rip off of US citizens called The Fed? They're OBVIOUSLY JUST going to MURDER everybody who presents ANY challenge to their continued dominance.
The People can't JUST be in control. The People MUST be SMART and IN CONTROL for things to work out nicely for everybody. Why would SMART people agree to arbitrary valuation of their work? OBVIOUSLY work NEEDS to be measured SCIENTIFICALLY in CALORIES. That way the economy can be calculated to an equation where work input equals product, that EVERY worker gain EXACTLY their work effort out of the economy as the work and the product are measured in terms of human work calories.
We NEED DIRECT DEMOCRACY, that the massively murderous screw over be halted. It's THE ONLY WAY. Anything else will surely be a temporary solution and allow for continued then expanded corruption. Beyond direct democracy we need a sustainable economic system as only Calorie Economics is capable, by it being EXACTLY fair. So long as the economy screws anybody over by design, the economy will erode society eternally.
@danielvincentkelley "How are you going to make the elected officials accountable to the people while ALL the judges in America (except MAYBE half a dozen) are brutal criminals as bad as the cops and congress?"
A: I told you, Revolution.
Also, I agree, direct democracy is good and is feasible with current communication technology.
@blacklite911 Since the fed bank has existed, the real value of a dollar has become worth less than 2 cents as compared to the dollar on the gold standard. Basically, Rothschild's federal reserve bank has so screwed over EVERYBODY holding dollars, that it's not even any greater convenient having dollars, because we could just carry 2 cents instead, which isn't that much heavier.
Not only is it not any more convenient to carry dollars than coins where cash is on the gold standard, the erosion of the value of the dollar continues unabated, all of that value being robbed from the masses is transferred to Rothschild's central bank command. As long as there's a powerful organization, the powerful will crave to corrupt and control it. For the masses to maintain vigilance to congress, the executive, the judicial AND the central bank is too much.
MORE importantly than just eliminating the central bank though, we need to prosecute the whole criminal syndicate that has been operating the central bank. The Rothschild's and their agents who don't go whistleblower, should all be in jail for the rest of their lives, if beyond prosecution they're not executed for treason, which is how I would like to see the situation end up, with their heads in jars of formaldehyde.
i wonder what the paulites think of this.

Easier to run the show when people are fractured. Simple divide and conquer strategy put into play by the real people in power - not the politicians. Another reason they are trying to break down and further regulate the internet. They see how powerful it is becoming and will become in the next 10 years. More and more people are getting more accurate news from free-lancing bloggers/reddit/youtube, etc. and not from main stream media. Loss of control.

How to be in debt of invisible currency, without being a debt slave in the end.
All this "END THE FED" vs "Regulate so it's not corrupt and against the people" issue is just confusing lol. Especially with "switch to Gold/Silver!" where there are such low amounts.
Or go to the extreme Zeitgeist movement of "resource economy" but our society thrives on the current system of profits.

I really miss these very thoughtful, demure interviews from you, Lori. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy your humourous interviews as well, but this was a breath of fresh air from your normally more aggressive videos.
And just to note, there WAS a lot of opposition against FDR's domestic policies and, not ironically, the word "socialist" was thrown around a lot. And while I count myself among conservatives, I do believe that sometimes personal wealth must take a backseat to larger national issues.

Woodrow Wilson was our WORST president. The Fed was officially created in 1913...the same year as the Federal Income Tax(16th amendment). Basically the Founding Fathers America died in 1913 when Woodrow Wilson was fooled by the bankster elitists. Woodrow Wilson admitted:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.....The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men."

Garbage.
This is a Fed bootlicker. Alexander Hamilton was an agent for the Rothschilds and focused on extending the European central bank in America. Thomas Jefferson HATED Hamilton, but was unable to eliminate him(Aaron Burr took care of that). Andrew Jackson was one of our greatest presidents who was man enough to challenge the central bank. His actions eliminated the Second Bank of the United States (Nicholas Biddle). Andrew Jackson is the only president to pay off the national debt.

This guys an idiot. He completely avoids mentioning that we can only pay for these wars with a federal reserve bank due to its ability to print money. if we didn't have a fed and relied on taxation alone we would run out of money pretty quick. Even the President of the Museum DAVID J. COWEN is a bankster. Sounds like a museum of propaganda.

You're a moron. The fed doesn't regulate this criminal banksterism that's going on. The fed is a privately owned bank, owned primarily by the Rothschilds who are the MOST MURDEROUS FAMILY IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY. They've funded both sides of every war since the US revolution. THAT'S why people are saying get rid of the FED is because the FED is pure evil, owned by evil people used to manipulate the living conditions of the WHOLE WORLD, and rips people off by inflation as they print money.
danielvincentkelley 3 months ago 18
The depression after Jackson beat The Bank was surely due the Rothschilds manipulation by their agents in US industry. We don't need just to END THE FED. We need to END all manner of dominance and institute DIRECT DEMOCRACY like Switzerland has had for 800 years. Nobody should be doing what they do daily because they get money to do it. People should be doing what they do because it's decent and tends provable universal benefit, essentially all job types should be direct democratically approved.

ALL depressions are CONTRIVED. Financially manipulated depressions have plagued society since time immemorial. Humanity has NEVER run out of resources sufficient to support the population. The financial dominant has enforced conditions that snatch to him control, dominance at the cost of lives of the underclass. Jumping on that bandwagon is traitorous. Watch him use his space flight ejection seat while he laughs watching your bandwagon ride over a cliff into a magma pit you fkn moron.

@danielvincentkelley Go learn something. The Fed is NOT a privately owned bank. It does have elements of private control, but those who originally fought for a private bank lost their plan when progressive democrats got their way (and controlled Congress). It's history, not some evil conspiracy theory. Again, go learn something. There's lots of things wrong with the country that need fixing and attention, but stupid conspiracy theories do nothing but detract from real issues.

You should be in a sh*t can with all that.
danielvincentkelley 3 months ago
@danielvincentkelley History isn't biased or working toward an agenda, nor it is refutable that, when the Fed was dismantled in the era the historian talks about, the country dove into economic decline. That's just a fact, not a moronic opinion, as you put it. The fed is utterly mismanaged and needs incredible reform today, but to get rid of ANY regulating system and let the banks have complete free will isn't the only solution on the table.
theresident 3 months ago
@theresident Sorry, Lori, but you're the one who needs a history lesson. The Fed operates under the protocols of fractional reserve banking. Printing monetized instruments of debt lacking any collateral at all. The very notion that the deficit will ALWAYS exceed the principal (money supply) due to the implementation of compound interest is inherently corrupt.
edlitz36 3 months ago 17
@theresident Continued... These flaws ensure that inflation and debt collapse (bankruptcy) are inevitable and literally built into the system, given that there's NEVER enough money in circulation to pay back the outstanding loans. How could you exonerate our current system that transfers full power to the banking cartels which caused our current economic turmoil and ensures social stratification?
edlitz36 3 months ago 16
@theresident - Where do you get the idea that the fed is mismanaged and needs "incredible" reform? Translating monetary theory into monetary policy is a mistake-prone activity!! So any fed must be granted some slack. Second, economists of every kind were uniformly optimistic (see Alan Greenspan), contributing to our problems. 3) People in the Fed are economists, not financiers, and that may be the reason that they were not aware of the horrible house loans being made -- how could they know??

The Fed is NOT regulating the banks you fkn moron. The SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION is what is SUPPOSED TO regulate the fed. The fed is a PRIVATELY OWNED BANK whose primary purpose is to PRINT MONEY, which CONSTANTLY DEBASES THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR. Makes dollars worth sh*t. The dollar is worth less than 2 cents today as compared to the dollar on the gold standard AND that's a direct result of the existence of ROTHSCHILD'S fed reserve bank. The FED MUST BE ELIMINATED. It's criminal.

That the country went in a depression after The People attacked the financial oligarchy, is a matter brilliantly obvious as to who was to blame. JUST the US tossing out Rothschild's Fed Reserve bank is not enough. We need to prosecute the Rothschilds and all the heads of industry and snatch the world from their grasp that nobody toil and bleed at the Rothschild's behest ever again, to include closing ALL of the "central banks" the Rothschild's own, which is the central bank of every nation.
danielvincentkelley 3 months ago
@theresident I'm not a historian, but I will point out that there are alternative explanations of the crisis than just the abolition of the Second Bank of America. Plus, even if you're right and the crisis was promted by nothing but that, that's not an argument for central banking, it just shows that you can't build a system around a Fed and then, all of a sudden, remove the Fed. Libertarians don't wanna do that, we say it's wrong to have a central bank to begin with.

@blacklite911 Doesn't have to be, we do have intelligent politicians, only a few, but still, who wanna change the system from within. We just need to stop electing the morons into power. For example, if they really make the PATRIOT act permanent, I agree, it is time for another revolution. If, in contrary, someone like Ron Paul becomes president, maybe we'll be fine without one.

How many people do you suppose have ten grand to throw away on a hope of being elected to congress? People who do have ten grand to throw away for access to the election OBVIOUSLY are going to want something back for their investment. The system is thoroughly broken. There will be no fix from within. Politicians pretend it are just gaming the system

Eliminating the central bank doesn't end "the country". The People will still be here. The resources will still be here. No central bank has ever been "under the control of the people". That's like saying, congress should be "under the control of the people". OBVIOUSLY 600 guys telling 300 million people to bend over and grad their ankles is NOT any great system of government. The only service the central bank provides universally is carrying convenience of paper money
danielvincentkelley 2 months ago
@danielvincentkelley the terminology under the control of the people" requires further explanation. Technically any democracy/republic government is supposed to be under the control of the people, the elected officials are just supposed to be stewards. Also, Ron Paul doen't want to end the fed, he wants to pull it under government's control. Now, if we are successful in making ALL elected officials accountable to the people, then the fed will be in control of the people.

How are you going to make the elected officials accountable to the people while ALL the judges in America (except MAYBE half a dozen) are brutal criminals as bad as the cops and congress? There's no checks on the present corporate crony government. Eventually they'll be divided and conquered, but only then by the same criminal mastermind that is murdering the world with disease, starvation, warfare and financial dominance.

It if was just congress and the president that were corrupt, there might be a hope to repair this system from within. As it is, the president, the military, the congress, the judges, the heads of industry, all billionaires are murderously corrupt. I just heard an interview a guy saying his cop friend up for promotion and his military buddy seeking reenlistment were both asked if they're willing to fire on US citizens. That's how boldly murderous this government is.

Obviously that's not going to be fixed by this murderous government, that the murderous governments rip off scheme be curtailed. If the government feels at ease to boldly plan murdering Americans, why do you think they'd back off from their trillion dollar rip off of US citizens called The Fed? They're OBVIOUSLY JUST going to MURDER everybody who presents ANY challenge to their continued dominance.

The People can't JUST be in control. The People MUST be SMART and IN CONTROL for things to work out nicely for everybody. Why would SMART people agree to arbitrary valuation of their work? OBVIOUSLY work NEEDS to be measured SCIENTIFICALLY in CALORIES. That way the economy can be calculated to an equation where work input equals product, that EVERY worker gain EXACTLY their work effort out of the economy as the work and the product are measured in terms of human work calories.

@blacklite911
We NEED DIRECT DEMOCRACY, that the massively murderous screw over be halted. It's THE ONLY WAY. Anything else will surely be a temporary solution and allow for continued then expanded corruption. Beyond direct democracy we need a sustainable economic system as only Calorie Economics is capable, by it being EXACTLY fair. So long as the economy screws anybody over by design, the economy will erode society eternally.

danielvincentkelley 2 months ago
@blacklite911 Since the fed bank has existed, the real value of a dollar has become worth less than 2 cents as compared to the dollar on the gold standard. Basically, Rothschild's federal reserve bank has so screwed over EVERYBODY holding dollars, that it's not even any greater convenient having dollars, because we could just carry 2 cents instead, which isn't that much heavier.
danielvincentkelley 2 months ago
@blacklite911
Not only is it not any more convenient to carry dollars than coins where cash is on the gold standard, the erosion of the value of the dollar continues unabated, all of that value being robbed from the masses is transferred to Rothschild's central bank command. As long as there's a powerful organization, the powerful will crave to corrupt and control it. For the masses to maintain vigilance to congress, the executive, the judicial AND the central bank is too much.
danielvincentkelley 2 months ago
@blacklite911
MORE importantly than just eliminating the central bank though, we need to prosecute the whole criminal syndicate that has been operating the central bank. The Rothschild's and their agents who don't go whistleblower, should all be in jail for the rest of their lives, if beyond prosecution they're not executed for treason, which is how I would like to see the situation end up, with their heads in jars of formaldehyde.
