MISSING THE POINT
64
It’s curious to me that every country in the world is going through some sort of economic/financial crises. The Europeans are verging on financial collapse, the U.S. is in constant crisis over the deficit and high unemployment. They all see the answer as cutting spending and reducing Government spending and regulations. No one seems to see the obvious. The real culprits in this economic Armageddon are the huge central Banks, like the FED, IMF, ECB, Deutsch Bank, etc.. The controllers and printers of the money and therefore the Credit. They, not the governments decide if the economies prosper or decline.
No country or government has the courage to try and take the power from these manipulators of the world. The extreme proof is in the recent exposure of the crimes committed by these money barons and the lack of prosecutions of any of the management or their CEO’s. In this world of the mega-rich, their power and money allows them to dictate to countries what is good for them not the countries. Their façade of convention and righteousness makes quite a show for the masses. They believe their wealth makes them proper and pillars of the community, when in fact they are slowly raping the people of their meager savings and stealing their property. All this is done in the open under the guise of investment banks and insurance companies. They work for no one, only for themselves and the almighty dollar.
Now if the countries and companies don’t conform to their credo they will simply have their cronies at S&P downgrade their credit ratings or put them on a credit watch list thus making their bonds and stock worth a lot less. Recently Germany tried to float a bond sale after telling the big Banks they needed to eat 50% of the bonds they bought from Greece and the banks agreed but then torpedoed them on the bonds. France also backed off fearing a similar reaction. S&P has them both on a watch list and is going to downgrade their credit ratings and today downgraded Germany , teaching them a lesson not to mess with the money boys, even if they are the biggest economies in Europe. Even the powerhouse of Germany with one of the best economies in the World are buckling under to the Banks.
This equation is missing one important component, “THE PEOPLE”!! they are completely ignored as they are considered an insignificant part of the labor needed. The banks own Wall Street and most of the debt secured by real estate in the world. None of the power elite care about the people and consider us a nuisance in their plans for the New World Order.
This article is just a reminder of who we all really work for, let them know we are not happy and we are taking our money out. Notice the results of moving our money from the “Banks” to Credit Unions and closing our accounts. Those new fees are rapidly disappearing and aren’t the banks being really nice to us and tempting us with their bulls**t freebees and old style bribes. Tell them to go to hell and let’s close them down, for our own good.

I think Iceland stood up to them! Said "we didn't cause this mess, and we aren't paying for it!"
A triumph of the Human spirit.
It's just a matter of waking up and getting angry....and we are there.
And no level of the continued lies and manipulation can erase the truth.
And the Genie is never going back in the bottle.
Bloggo got 14 years for trying to sell a senate seat....these cats sold America....wonder what their punishment should be.....?
Everyone knows the real culprits. But they "own" the politicians and decide if they will get re-elected or not. Just as the unions decide the same for left wing administrations. All seems a bit petty and far away when you are surrounded by millions of square miles of mountains and tundra don't it? Bob
Hi Peter,
Yupper, the "new" deal in Europe allows investors to avoid losses.
Who takes it on the chin - the citizens.
Politicians know that if the banks incur any more losses then another bailout is needed and we all remember how well that went over last time.
Have to end the FED - get the derivatives market under control ( a market that is totally "shadow" no rules, or regs, no government watchdogs").
Right now every bank is bankrupt - their balance sheets are a scam.
This will take decades to resolve, with the middle class taking it on the chin.
To your continued success.
Cheers
Much to consider here. I had an uncle banker who lined our too much to hungry farmers in his small town. He committed suicide.
The whole idea of creating the Fed and all the other ubber banks was a bad idea in the first place. What we ended up with is a system where a small group(s) of people control the monetary systems around the world. The men behind the curtains are what I want to see.
It s our money they play monopoly with and I have met few poor bankers in my life. We pay those clowns to to, at times, rape and pillage. When you have a guy like Corzine tell Congress that he doesn't know where the money went I have to choke on bile. Sure he doesn't but Santa will also be here soon.
Ever wonder why Congress doesn't want the Federal Reserve audited? I sure don't.
The Frog
Yes, I had to wonder too when Corzine said he doesn't "know" Very strange for the "boss" not to "know." A small businessman won't get away with not "knowing"
I recently heard about some other CEO getting a golden parachute of $12 million. I just don't quite understand that. I wonder what he didn't "know."
You know, Peter, I like and listen to both you and Will Starr, and you both seem to know what you are talking about, yet you are both at opposite ends of the spectrum. I don't understand that, either, but I thank both of you for keeping us in the "know."
Great article, Peter, These folks are a power where even the president is nothing more than a shoe shine boy. It is so much like a black hole, invisible to most but possessing gravitation force that sucks everything in that comes near it. As Claptona ssid in his article, we are dancing perilously close to the ravine. In the face of all of this maybe films like "the Matrix" are not so much the stuff of science fiction.
In the face of all this maybe the two party system is just a sham, a holographic program for the masses to take in
Wow, that was a major type-o in my comment. Sorry. Serves me right for trying to type a comment into my cell phone. I hope you know I meant, loaned out too much! I guess bankers- at least in local banks- are people too, and at times, they feel a sense of compassion for those who are hurting and try to do what they think is right. And suffer for it.
It's all that new world order shit Peter, We have the Fed that prints money backed by nothing (yet for some reason they frown when we attempt to print it :-P) and Europe was conned into the Euro. All set up so the greedy bastards worldwide can run the same shell game, I agree about credit unions, a much better choice for many reasons and guess what, not 1 single credit union needed to be bailed out! Hope you're stayin' warm man. Peace!! Tom
I think Ron Paul has the only right idea on the whole thing, and it seems obvious to me that Obama is nothing but a corporate toad.
Hi Peter
A very interesting and thought provoking hub.
The company I work for has a Credit Union so I do my banking with them.
I wonder why governments will not stand up to the huge central banks? There must be something in it for them.
Voted up and awesome.
Peter-beautifully said. Thanks for sharing what we all have probably been discussing in the confines of our homes and personal circles. Voted up.

Peter, it is great to see you writing again. Perhaps the cold weather in Alaska agrees with you? I don't understand the banking industry well enough to even make an intelligent comment. It is way to complicated for this old brain. Tell me how it would change things if we went from banks to credit unions. Banks and Credit Unions don't just sit on all the money, they put it somewhere. If I thought it would make a difference, I would move my account tomorrow.
