		<description>Why can’t we use psychology like they probably do in their operations? Why can’t we make this message you Patriots so passionately discuss here…marketable to the masses? I’m only a young 26 year old farmer’s son from Iowa…but I know enough to realize that people don’t need to be filled with information like we fill jars with water. No, all that needs to occur, is the sparking of curiosity and that will set people off on their own path of discovery, which may allow them to arrive at a consciousness similar to the one shared by this community. Everything is a science; everything can be studied, learned, manipulated and controlled. This message of a new, revolutionary monetary policy would ring loud and clear with the masses and invigorate them. The key lies in sparking their curiosity, packaging and framing specific ‘beginners’ bits of information related to this monumental and historical issue…that their minds can comprehend at their present state. I plan to do this. Long live the Patriot!

		<description>The only solution is to adopt a monetary system that is not based on debt. Dr. Blain makes a couple of specific recommendations: 1) “Stop using percentage rates to calculate charges for the use of money”; and 2) “Congress must supply the economy with a money base that is debt-free and interest-free.”

INTEREST-FREE??

Such a blow would sound the death knell of  the Shylocks of this world....

There is no business like WAR business...when the Reserve Bank was created in 1913 by the US Congress soon after in 1914  WWI  broke out.
To my mind there is no better cause and effect relationship. 
 The Rothschilds, the  originators of the phrase  “Give me control over a nation’s currency and I care not who makes its laws” I suspect were behind this Congressional decision. They were masters at playing one country off against another and using the threat of war as a means for more lending and  larger profits. They made a killing in the London stock market during the Battle of Waterloo when they got insider knowledge that Napoleon was about to be beaten.

Riddance of such shysters would be a God Sent!!
Ron Paul advocates eliminating the Reserve bank. He admits that he does not know who runs this privately owned Bank, nor seen their faces!  Quite candidly Paul says he doesn&#039;t know whether America&#039;s gold  holdings are still there. May be the  gold bars have been all secretly shipped off to Israel. Who know?

Bring them all out, Ron, bring them all out into the spotlight! Let the World  know who these sinister Top Hat, Coattailed Gentlemen are!
Bring them all out  past the identity parade and let&#039;s see their FACES at last!</description>

		<description>Excellent comments by Mr. Danison.  It is most interesting that the privatized monetary system run by the banks has, as its corollary, a political system based on state control of key parts of the producing economy.  This is because of the way finance capitalism has developed hand-in-hand with Keynesian economics which has given us an enormous military-industrial complex as a job creation mechanism and a system of global cartel where the government acts as an enforcer in allowing the export of jobs and suppression of labor costs at home. On the other hand, a monetary system based on government control of credit would liberate businesses and individuals who could manage their financial affairs without the gigantic debt burden that has destroyed small business and family farming.</description>

		<description>The failure of the progressive agenda in the US is a result of a blind spot in the progressive vision for change, which Richard Cook has been pointing to for years. What will it take for progressives to see what is hidden in plain sight?

It&#039;s the monetary system, stupid! Why is it that  an old time conservative like Ron Paul can see what is invisible to the left advocates of social justice?

Since the beginning of the American Republic, those who objected to Alexander Hamilton&#039;s scheme to make the US government beholden to international financiers and speculators have recognized what came to be known in the 19th Century as the &quot;money power&quot;. People on their farms and in the streets understood this money power and the effect it had on their lives far better in 1808 than do people 200 years later in 2008. We do not understand the world and the way it operates as well as our ancestors did. We are much dumber.

And there is a tragic irony here because the people of today are far more dependent on money than our progenitors for whom it was possible to live a subsistence life without money, or with very little. Many grew their own food, made their own clothing, and were self-sufficient to a degree we moderns people in our consumer society do not understand. Having no money, or very little, gave our ancestors a perspective we lack. They understood what it was and what value it could bring into their lives, and they also understood far better than we do how it was created. The politics of the 19th Century was very much concerned with money and the money power.

So why are we so stupid today that we cannot understand one of the most basic facts of our lives? Why is it that there is no more discussion of the money power in our political debates? Why is it that we take the monetary system so much for granted?

Why is the progressive community, those who advocate for change in the name of the people do not advocate for change of the monetary system?

Because on the one hand, most progressives do not understand money themselves, and on the other hand, they pander to the people. Progressives do not seek to educate, which is the basis of real leadership, they pander to consumers and seek to create a better client relationship between the people and the state.

Progressives are socialists and seek to influence the all powerful state to bestow more benefits on the people.

In the 19th Century and from the foundation of this republic, opposition to the concentration of the money power in the hands of bankers and the heirs to Hamilton&#039;s Federalists, came from democrats, those who believed in democratic government, in the power of the people through government by and for the people.

Left progressives in this country do not believe in democracy, they believe in the power of the state and in the client hood of the people. Big Daddy state hands out money to all his children to make them happy consumers.

The American Monetary Act is a piece of legislation, not a theoretical document, that returns the money power to the people&#039;s government. It removes the money power from the private hands of the financial elite and returns it to the people&#039;s government. The money power will then be subject to the people&#039;s legislative body, the Congress.

It is time for progressives to wake up and become radical. Progressive is leading us ever deeper into the New World Order. Radical is individual freedom and direct democracy.  Anyone who advocates for fundamental change in the monetary system is a radical today because they are calling for freedom from domination by the privatized financial system and the financial global elite who hold us all in debt peonage.</description>
