So this is how you're being screwed by the 1-Percenters. This is how THEY LIVE. This is how your PRODUCTIVITY -- your new computer tech and programs -- are getting siphoned off by the elites that surround the banks (as Jefferson warned).(3) This is why your wages have not risen since Nixon-71, why your wife must now work, why college tuition is ridiculously high, why you have no health insurance, maxed-out credit cards, $4+ gasoline, monopolistic Internet service providers; why you drive an old car and rent. In sort, this is why you are an economic slave to the 1-Percenters who have created and perpetuate the worst wealth inequality in the history of the world. Is it any wonder so many -- who don't understand how they are being screwed by the 1 Percenters -- pick up a gun and blow the hell out of anyone they can place a bead on?

 

How to Neutralize the 1-Percenters:

 

Things don't have to be as described here. The 1-Percenters CAN be dethroned if WE THE PEOPLE regain control of the two entities the 1-Percenters use to protect their wealth: BANKS and POLICE. In other words, the "power of the purse" and the "power of the sword." To get a better understanding of these powers, I would like to introduce you to a film that will reference a number of books for further clarifications. The first movie is called FIAT EMPIRE - Why the Federal Reserve Violates the U.S. Constitution. It can be screened for free at   http://youtu.be/5K41O2QfpjA

In fact, we produced FIAT EMPIRE with Ron Paul in 2005. It's now 2013 as I write this. Has FIAT EMPIRE ever been shown in the mainstream media the past 8 years? Of course not. This movie hasn't been shown -- or even acknowledged as EXISTING -- on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, PBS, History Channel, or any other mainstream outlet. It's a pure blackout on the subjects of the "power of the purse" and the "power of the sword." And the very fact that we HAVE this blackout is evidence, if not proof, that these ARE major issues that matter. They are major issues -- if not the two MOST important issues -- because they are the issues that address how the 1-Percenters got the wealth and how they keep most of us enslaved to their system of unjust enrichment.

 

In 2005 there were only a handful of "conspiracy theorists" discussing the Federal Reserve System. Today, thanks to Ron Paul and others on the Internet, word is out despite the mainstream media blackout. This proves that it can be done. WE THE PEOPLE have done it with regards to the "power of the purse." This issue is now in the national discussion even though the mainstream media continues to suppress it. Millions of people all over the U.S., and the entire world, are thinking about, discussing, arguing and debating the pros and cons of fiat currency, fractional reserve banking and central banks, like the Federal Reserve System. If this can happen with the "power of the purse" it can also happen with the "power of the sword."

   

 

--------------------------- (1) The very REASON the world was ON the Gold Standard was so no nation would print up too much paper currency. When the U.S. started printing excessive paper currency, France and Britain had a right to convert their paper into gold. The "out flow" of gold from the U.S. to France and Britain would stop when the U.S. stopped printing up too much paper currency. This HOW it's SUPPOSED to work. But when Nixon simply defaulted on the gold payments, he, in essence, committed national fraud, if not the grandest of larceny. Taking us off the Gold Standard, as we can now see, has lead to a fiat currency and the current insane wealth disparity seen at   http://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM. Also, with NAFTA, the U.S. manufacturing base was gutted because the multinationals could borrow endless fiat currency at below market rates to build factories in other countries. Multinationals want to produce cheap products with, for instance, Chinese slave-labor and then sell them back into the $15 trillion U.S. market at heighten profits. It's like manufacturing on crack. To remedy this "crack manufacturing" instituted by Benedict-Arnold CEOs, WE THE PEOPLE should enact a "cover charge" for multinationals attempting to get into the "dance." I thus agree with Nixon's import tax -- maybe not appropriate in 1971 and maybe not 10% -- but we need such a tax today to neutralize the runaway profligacy of the multinationals that think it's okay to rape and pillage the middle class of the United States like crack-whores gone wild. See   Suicide of a Superpower, by Pat Buchanan for details on this and other important subjects. This is the book 1-Percenters at MSNBC fired him over.

 

(2) In 1988, John Carpenter directed a film called THEY LIVE. This film has become a cult classic because it not only predicted, but has become a metaphor for the wealth disparity we see in today's civilization. The elite 1-Percenters LIVE, while the rest of us SUBMIT. To paraphrase one author: 'John Carpenter's slow and deliberate immersion of the daunting and worrying fable of the corrupt, deceiving and indifferent economic, social and political society, that has wrapped itself around its people and who in turn have blindly accepted their fate. This is the story of an ordinary man who stumbles upon a secret, alien elite (the 1-Percenters) and who has a mission to awaken the world to their sinister plans.... It is through thought control that this alien elite has this world tied up and neatly packaged for their own manipulative uses and to further themselves at the expense of the meek, the mild and the lowly sufferers of a job-less and hungry world. THEY LIVE while YOU STARVE and sleepwalk. Where will your consciousness take you when the sleep is washed from your eyes? Welcome to the real world.' See a clip from the movie at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lwlx3GnLGs.

 

(3) Thomas Jefferson once said: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)
