The American Circular Firing Line

Recently, Icelanders voted overwhelmingly, not to pay the foreign bankers their blood money. Foreign bankers (European and American), through the use of derivatives and other fraudulent paper schemes, racked up a huge bill for the people of Iceland to owe. Iceland went from first world status to high levels of unemployment, increasing homelessness and huge personal debt through taxation to a government, who owed its power to the bankers that they serviced. In a referendum the people almost unanimously said, no.

Now, I'm not sure whether the people of Iceland are simply smarter than the fluoride drinking, fast food pounding, TV programmed people of the US or whether the fact that their numbers are so much smaller makes them able to see their enemy with open eyes, but clearly, we the people of the US are still fighting with ourselves, rather than standing up to the enemy.

Ask a common man on the streets who it is that's messing up the country and he will no doubt say, the government. However, if you ask him which party and you will either here about the socialists currently running things or about the greed-head, warmongers who used to run things. Americans are angry. The economy is in bad shape. Despite the programming on TV, people do not believe it is getting better and there is a sense of doom across the political spectrum. People, with the exception of neocons and their followers, were not happy about the wars. Now, with the democrats in power, everyone seems to walk along like mental patients to the drug dispensary. People, with the exception of neocons and their followers, were not happy with the Patriot Act and the ever-expanding police state. Now, with the democrats in power, people seem to be saying, as long as the big government is protecting us, I guess we have to give up liberties in order to be safe and free.

People in America stand in a circular firing line, aiming at the other side with righteousness and anger, but seem unable to understand that they were placed in that circle by a big hand and programmed to hate and blame an enemy, who has in turn been placed across the circle and programmed as a counterpart.

Both parties operate out of the bounds of the constitution as a matter of course. Both act to create bigger government, more intrusive government and more powerful government. Both parties act exactly according to the wishes of the campaign contributing corporations and the banks that own them. One party takes away personal liberties in order to protect us from terrorists. The other party takes away personal liberties in order to protect us from our carbon emissions and hateful information on the internet. Both parties chastise the other party for their excessive intrusions and yet, when given the chance, they make only cosmetic changes to any new permanent government bureaucracy created by the previous party.

Ladies and gentleman of the US, hear this, and hear it clearly. The parties are owned by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is owned by the Bank of England. The Federal Reserve creates the economic system of permanent servitude, debt and inflation that we live under and this unconstitutional system is, subsequently, killing our republic. The Federal Reserve is a private bank that sets interest rates, creates our currency and charges us interest on the loans that fund our ever-expanding government. It collects an unconstitutional tax on our labor, through its strong-arm collection agency, the IRS. Federal Reserve and Bank of England financiers have started almost every war of the last century and certainly, every war of the current century. Bankers have stolen 28 trillion dollars from the people of the US through the recent bailout (it was in actuality, a coup, a takeover in plain sight) and yet, politicians still pretend as if they represent us, as they talk of employment figures and increased security.

We have been robbed. The ship of liberty has been torpedoed. Our way of life will never be restored under the onus of the present system, which is entirely, completely and ultimately controlled and owned by a few banking families, who employ the governments and the media of the world.

So, fire away at the close-minded "conservative" across the way. Or, fire away at the week-kneed "liberal" around the bend. Take your shot at the racist, the pro-illegal immigration guy, the abortionist or the religious zealot, at the flag-waver or the flag-burner, the prowar homophobe or the antiwar homo. But, bear in mind, that what you are doing is exactly what you have been trained to do.
