@masterskyrunner Yeah, that's what I was trying to explain to our friend tjtomkins. He's obviously very genuine. The greater evil right now is the Fed, but we can't completely toss the government from the economic system as long as int'l bankers exist. We have our best chance at defending against the globalist agenda, by being alert and aware of what our government is doing, and then acting to intervene when needed.

Just like with SOPA and PIPA.

Democracy isn't dead yet.

@tjtomkins I'm not much familiar with Money Masters of Web of Debt, but I looked them up after you mentioned it... You got it backwards. Those videos are not peddling communism. Killing the Fed, is the first step to make sure that the U.S. at least, is NOT drawn into a global "globalist" state, under the control of IGOs like the IMF and World Bank. A global, non-republic system of governance is the end result if we stick to the Fed. Those videos warning people. You are mistakened.

@tjtomkins You say "money is the product of the markets". I say yes AND no to this. The market creates VALUE. The market's determine what something's value is or will be, and this is good. People trade items of VALUE.

MONEY on the other hand is created by government, to introduce a system of uniform trade... a way to MEASURE VALUE. Hence, its to be a benefit to the markets. Markets dont need money, but money makes trade MUCH easier.

(Dont flag his comment as spam, guys.) You are right tj. But the Fed system is a result of greedy int'l bankers lobbying the same fools you mentioned. The money in direct gov't control is a better way, because at least the people can still have a fair influence on it there. Right now, bankers control it, and the charter protects them from our direct influence. Kill the Fed, and you can take the bankers out of direct control over our money supply. Kill the greater of the two evils.

@jathanator The government is not a friend of the people, but is a "necessary evil" when managed correctly.

@EliteKiller07

"Every Recession/depression we've ever had was a direct result of the government in one way or another lowering interest rates and increasing the money supply"Well said. We must recognize that govt is no saint compared to private sector & in fact worst since it has "LEGAL" authority to rob & suppress (which pvt sector does NOT have).Boom-bust-cycles & inflation are direct results of overexpansion of credit which many govts have done,including that of 1923-Germany

@jathanator

DON'T buy into the socialism/communism-peddling videos like "Money Masters", "Web of Debt" & others! Govt creating money is DISASTER, many countries have done it in the past & FAILED because ANYONE with power to create money will keep creating it & thereeby devalue & STEAL people's purchasing-power

Govt is NOT made up of angels, they're self-interested people like private sector so giving them MONOPOLY-power isn't going to help at all.
