But even the big money, the money that you put
away in your 401K or your IRA or whatever, is going to be at risk because those
exchanges themselves use the TBTF banks.
It's all at risk. The whole
system is highly, highly risky, and we don't have much hope of changing it at
the Federal level. Everything is
gridlocked at the Federal level. So if
we are to have any hope of change, it's at the local level. That's where you can actually get some
action.
We have a very active group in Philadelphia, in
Pennsylvania, that's pushing for county-owned banks and for a State-owned
bank. In Philadelphia County, a small
county, you can get three people over lunch, the commissioners can meet over
lunch and decide to form a bank, and they can do it. It's much easier to get done, if they
understand the concept and why it's a good idea, and how they can do it.
So at our conference, besides the broad brush of
why this is a good idea, we'll be going into the details of how you would set
up a bank, where you would get the money; you know, all the different
objections, and how you can overcome those.
But it will start out, Matt Taibbi's role will be to lay the groundwork
on how highly risky and corrupt the current system actually, is and why we need
a change.
Rob Kall: Tell us
again: how do people find out about the conference? Where do they go? What's the website?
Ellen Brown: Our
website is Publicbankinginstitute.org , and then my website is Webofdebt.com , and I have over 200 articles on this subject that I've written since
2007.
Rob Kall: Yes,
you've been amazing with what you've been doing with this. And when is the date of the conference again?
Ellen Brown: June 2-4.
Rob Kall: And where
is it?
