Excuse my ignorance, but why can’t a nation’s economy just plod along happily providing quality goods and services to its citizens? Why does it have to grow exponentially as a result of artificially induced demand in order then to be called strong and healthy?

Give me control of a nation’s money supply and I care not who makes its laws.
– Mayer Rothschild

I sincerely believe that the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.
- Thomas Jefferson

Who controls money, controls the world.
- Henry Kissinger CFR)

These statements have been around for quite some time. Why is it that humankind only now is beginning to wake up to this ominous reality?

Bernanke is just the front man. When are we going to see and know those faceless, sinister characters who really pull the strings and tell him what to say and what not to say? When are we going to have them in an identity parade pass under the spotlight before our eyes with their names stamped on their chests? Then we could say, at long last and politely: WE ARE INDEED VERY PLEASED TO MEET YOU, SIRS!!!

Finally,

Those who vote decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything
– Joseph Stalin

The New World Order will be built… and an end run on national sovereignty eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault…
-Council of Foreign Relations Journal, 1974, p. 558

Day after day, you see him burning a 100-dollar bank note, and it does seem to you and everyone else that the uncle is getting richer all the time. Despite the fact that the recipe sounds irrational, after a while, you start believing that the way to get rich is to set a 100-dollar bill on fire every day. As a matter of fact, even the uncle himself starts thinking, with the passing of time, that there might be some merit to his advice. This is exactly what America's neo-liberal economic policy has in fact been: bullshit repeated over and over again by those in power (Republican and Democrat alike) and the servile, prostitute corporate media, to the extent that even the liars themselves had started believing their own lies. However, one cannot continue lying to oneself all the time. The truth is bound to hit you at some point. This, my friends is the hour of awakening. Just don't let them get away.

Deregulation and greed caused the problem. Fables and lies won't solve it.
