I don't normally care for conspiracy theories, but I thought it would be fun to indulge in a tall tale that is rapidly growing, easily believable, and in some facets, the most sinister conspiracy that has arisen in modern world politics to date. My rant is too long for one post, so I have decided to divide it in two parts, the second of which will be posted next month.
I won't be lauding Barack Obama as the anti-christ, nor will I be claiming that armageddon is upon us. Those types of assertions are best left for certain southern U.S. Christian on air personalities who enjoy stealing money from decent but otherwise gullable American citizens. You won't hear me pointing fingers at the Freemasons, the Skull and Bones Society, or the Illuminati, despite their apparent magical hand in shaping world events. One can not lay blame the sorry state of world affairs simply on one person, government, organization, or corporation. The blame is shared by a multitude of players. However, for the simplicity of this article, let us lay blame on two large economic juggernauts: large private banks and multi-national corporations and their hell bent mission of WORLD DOMINATION!!
To start, here is my first postulate: governments no longer work for the people but rather work against them. Why? The reason lies primarily in the fact that most high ranking government positions are either run by or closely associated with private banking firms (e.g. the U.S. Federal Reserve) or large multinational corporations who have their hands so deep in politician's pockets that they become the sole influencers of policy. The will of the people is not respected, and when it is briefly heard, is quickly dismissed as inconsequential. Take America's great bastion for "Change", Barack Obama, who during his campaign promised that he wouldn't bow down to lobbyists or pander to Wall Street. What does he do shortly after his inauguration.? Not only does he keep Robert Gates, one of Bush's old "cronies" as Secretary of Defense, but he selects a litany of former Wall Street executives for his cabinet and other high ranking White House positions, the likes of which include Rahm Emanuel (formerly on the Executive board of Freddie Mac ) as Chief of Staff, Timothy Geitner (former President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and director of policy for the IMF) as Treasury Secretary, Paul Vockner (Federal Reserve chairman during the Carter and Reagan administrations), and Lawrence Summers (former Chief Economist at the World Bank). The number of Obama's inner circle who are also members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg group (at least 11), whose closed door yearly secret meetings to discuss and shape world economic and social policy are at best shady and at worst treasonous, is staggering.
The crux of the problem in many countries around the world, including the United States and Britain, is that a private entity controls the domestic currency. In the United States, it's the U.S. Federal Reserve (the word Federal being a convenient misnomer to lull the average American into thinking it's some type of government department...it is no different than Federal Express). Created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, after a series of, now believed to be, orchestrated financial panics, the Federal Reserve is an independant institution with the authority to act on its own without approval from Congress or the President. Therefore, the entity that controls the nation's wealth, the wealth of the people, does not answer to the people nor to those the people have elected to represent them. A quote, attributed to Thomas Jefferson (in so many words), states:
If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.
Think about how such a system may have come to pass. Large private banking and corporate business families, such as the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds for example, accumulate large sums of wealth throughout the years until they are filthy rich. Once you reach a certain level of monetary wealth and social status, it no longer matters how much more money you make as your standard of living will not improve past the point it has already reached. Therefore you pursue other avenues of power, namely politics and the ability to influence policy. Being able to influence policy allows you to accumulate power over people and hence it becomes a game of dominating and exerting your will and power over the populace. So what do you do to accomplish this? You gather up a bunch of your rich friends, orchestrate financial uncertainty (you and your friends do after all control all the major U.S. banks) to the point at which Congress, in their panicked state, issue a decree to have an independant body manage the nation's wealth such that it is not clouded by political greed and temptation (how ironic).
It follows therefore that every President (and his administration) after the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve (except for Kennedy who was working to abolish the Federal Reserve...but he was shot of course) has simply been a puppet for the interests of private banks and large multi-nationals whether or not they initially intended to be. Either you were like a Clinton or a Bush, who were already in the "game" and knew what to expect, or you're like Obama, who despite his good intentions, probably realized midway through his campaign that "oh shit, there's no way of escaping these guys".
In the case of large multi-nationals, one need only start a war, impose sanctions, or better yet, formulate large all encompassing global international trade agreements under the guise of social and economic development for all (strange how the gap between the have and have nots continues to widen), to secure wealth and resources beyond one's border.
The picture that materializes is one where world policy and decision making is controlled by an exclusive group of rich elites above that of national governments. How do these sinister people get away with this? Why doesn't the general public stand up, take a stand, and revolt? The answer lies in the ability to "dumb and numb" society down to a level of complacency while at the same time instilling fear. Methods used to achieve this will be provided in Part II.
