A Small Group of International Bankers virtually run the United States
New York City Mayor John Hylan

New York Times March 26,1922




March 26, 1922:
"The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and EVERY agency created for the public protection. It squirms in the jaws of darkness and thus is the better able to clutch the reins of government, secure enactment of the legislation favorable to corrupt business, violate the law with impunity, smother the press and reach into the courts.

To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that AT THE HEAD of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the INTERNATIONAL bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.

They practically control BOTH parties, write political platforms, make cats paws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business. They connive at CENTRALIZATION of government on the theory that a small group of hand-picked, privately controlled individuals in power can be more easily handled than a larger group among whom there will most likely be men sincerely interested in public welfare.

These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.”

4. BCCI - The whole Bush family and their footmen deserved indictments for treason.
And that includes the handful of powerful Democrats who helped protect them.

6. Even the US Military/NATO serves at their pleasure.
” For all his dictatorial megalomania, Gaddafi is a committed pan-African - a fierce defender of African unity. Libya was not in debt to international bankers. It did not borrow cash from the International Monetary Fund for any "structural adjustment". It used oil money for social services - including the Great Man Made River project, and investment/aid to sub-Saharan countries. Its independent central bank was not manipulated by the Western financial system. All in all a very bad example for the developing world.”

The above clearly answers the questions:
Why Libya?
And why NOW?


They won't Let Go peacefully.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
---John F. Kennedy, In a speech at the White House, 1962



The Good News is that our neighbors in Latin America have achieved nothing less than a (near) Bloodless Revolutions.
They have taken their countries BACK from the clutches of the International Bankers and the predatory IMF.
"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales

FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights,
but FDR and THAT "Democratic Party" is LONG Dead.


Latin America has given us given us the Blue Print,
but they had the advantage of Fair, Transparent, Verifiable, Independently Monitored & Certified Elections.
We don't have anything near that in the USA,
and neither dominant Political Party is remotely interested in giving that to us,
though that issue has the support of over 92% of Americans, Democrat & Republican.

So, hunker down and protect yourselves as much as possible.
Things will get worse before they get better.
And spread The Word from Latin America,
because our Media won't report it.

VIVA Democracy!!!
I PRAY we get some here soon!


Solidarity!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
