OPINION: Elite capture of wealth depends on public apathy

President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned, “Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as it is by the most unscrupulous office or by the most powerful foreign threat.” He also warned against the predations of the “military-industrial complex,” which includes the Wall Street financial complex aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve cartel and your “representatives” in Congress who receive huge campaign contributions from the financial industry. If you want to be free of the elite, find out how much money your “elected” representative receives from the banks and their cronies (military-industrial contractors), and demand they reject such contributions, which often serve as bribes to the politically ambitious. Here are two websites to find out where your legislator gets financial donations: www.maplight.org and www.opensecrets.org.
It is powerful elite interests that select presidential and congressional candidates to do their bidding. Ask yourself why we have had presidents who are conniving political hacks, rich 1 percent playboys, Texas wheeler-dealers, cheap southern adulterers/sexual predators, successive family power brokers, and corrupt Chicago politicians without proper credentials. This list goes on and on in Congress with plenty of fire and smoke.
The Federal Reserve “bank” was established in 1913 with pretention that it would stabilize the American economy, but its real purpose was to protect the wealthy bankers who founded it in secret. The Fed, a private non-government bank, prints paper currency (debt) and bills the American taxpayer for it. The Fed gives newly printed money to elite bankers who speculate with it in the stock market and place highly lucrative gambles in the international casino known as the derivatives market. These bankers also deposit the free money with Federal Reserve to receive 0.25 percent interest. Free money and free interest! If you try this, you’ll be arrested for counterfeiting!
This Fed/bankster system brought on the 2008 recession but continues today hugely magnified. Why?! Because it is very lucrative for the elite rulers of the world as they transfer wealth from the middle class to themselves! Here are some facts to illustrate:
·         Since 2008, the number of people on food stamps has spiked from 28.2 million to 47.7 million (70 percent increase).
·         Average family income for top 0.01 percent (the elite) increased by 75.2 percent between 2002 and 2012, while average family income of the bottom 90 percent decreased by 10.7 percent.
·         The top 1 percent own over 50 percent of America’s wealth. A group of just 400 Americans are worth $2 trillion, which is more than the total GDP of Italy, Mexico, or Canada.
·         Fraud and theft are rampant in every financial venue and include the manipulation of interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices (from corn to oil to gold). Big American/international banks openly violate the law and pay token fines; for instance, if you think a billion dollar fine for HSBC is large, consider that it amounts to about five weeks of profit for the huge bank. These banksters consider criminal fines just another cost of doing business. No one is ever prosecuted.
The above list is small in relation to the whole truth, which is that the entire financial system is rigged like a casino in which the house – the banksters and their military-industrial and political cronies – cannot lose!
What are you waiting for? Someone to rescue you? No one is coming. If you want to be rescued, you must snap out of your apathy. You must repudiate the elitist’s system. You must get rid of all the congressmen and senators who abet and encourage this inequity. All are guilty to one degree or another – some more so than others – like those who gave us the Unaffordable Care Act (Obamacare), which is just another way to control the middle and lower class masses by determining if, when and for what they can receive medical treatment.
Your must get rid of the Federal Reserve. Ron Paul is right about their nefarious goals and practices. They are a more inhumane and destructive cartel than all the drug cartels put together. Their power and influence are worldwide. Time is almost out to block their ultimate goal of enslaving the world and making you their serfs in bondage!
