Greenspan and Benanke sold their souls to the devil for the NWO.

About why you didn't testify in congress. You will be pushed and shoved into the pasture because you ruin everyones fun. I think your great Peter! I just want to encourage you to keep it up. You will be one of the countries great leaders only after we hit rock bottom. When that happens you will have an opportunity to rise to the occasion and help lead the country out of the ruins. The only challenge you will face is maintaining your morality once you take the leadership role.

@arzoyan So for somone who presumably cares about "the greater good" why would you think this artificial scaricity is a bad thing? Wouldnt it stand to reason that we need to be as productive as possible as a human race, our population grows exponentialy, we are approching 8 billion. If you were to discourage competition and wealth creation for profit, you would be ensuring a mass starvation in the third world. Or is that part of your environmentalist agenda? So much for humanism.

This is why Dick Nixon took us off the gold standard back in August of '71 (I'd graduated college that June)..the French had amassed tons of dollars and were attacking our gold supply.."Screw the French, Besides I need more dollars for the Viet Nam war anyway" said Dick...

@seraphimWILLunite Well okay sera let's push the 'Magic Button' and return to the Gold Standard...at a $1000 a troy ounce Fort Knox has $300 billion worth of gold...unfortunatly on any given day the US money supply is at $5 trillion dollars so you've vaporized 85% of your money supply...that'd be a big hit with everyone but ah wait, it gets better...the Chinese hold $3.2 trillion in our debt which they can now convert to gold...Pssst, our gold's gone, we're bankrupt sill owe China $3 trillion

@ser Free Market is a myth, the dominant section of the Capitalist class have always used State as an instrument of Power to further their monetary interest, Your comprehension of Capitalist socio-economic reality is partial,subjective and can only add to confusions about the real Contradictions of Capitalism and the necessary solution to a Market System of artificial scarcity that perpetuates the wage slavery of immense humanity.

@bellcord What is needed is not more regulation. IT'S HONEST MONEY. This central banking fiat money nonsense is the culprit. It results in 90% of the worlds problems. It funds war. It drives your taxes up. For fuck sake, does it make sense to you that our nations currencies are LENT to us as PRINCIPAL PLUS INTEREST. We can't pay it all back for that reason and it creates preferencial lending to firms like Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bros. etc..Why not start looking at the basis of our money!?

[seraphimWILLunite]

@arzoyan We do not live in free market capitalism- thus blaming capitalism for the problems is irrelevant. Free market capitalism cannot exist when Govt/Central banks issue FIAT currencies and through law (Legal tender laws) make it the only form of currency (by force-that is what a law is). Free market capitalism MUST have competing currencies with GOVT issuing ONLY gold and silver currency. No currency competion= no capitalism. Capitalism is NOT in practice ANYWHER IN TEH WORLD- US included.

Here's what this shitbird isn't telling you: Wall Sreet was leveraged at 40 to 1 before the meltdown...in other words for every buck Lehman Brothers was putting up it had borrowed $40 to make it's investment bet...when it lost the bet they owed $40 they didn't have...except it wasn't $40 , it was $40 billion ...when they're that big they take the system down with them...Congress is searching for a way to prevent it from happening again..
