The FED cannot solve the problem because the FED, like the IMF, IS a chief aspect of the problem. Private banking is the main tool, right after government, that the Owners use to suck the life, energy and wealth out of all of the workers enslaved within this monetary system.
Right wing conservatives, liberals and libertarians are all missing the big picture with their puny solutions. ANY solution which does not include the abolition of the current monetary-economic system of scarcity will fail because the problem IS the economic-political system.
The political will to tear down this system doesn’t exist and this is by design. Those in power use the means at their disposal to keep slaves ignorant and fearful and fighting amongst themselves. The only way a change will happen is if society survives a complete social and economic meltdown and then rebuilds a society and economy based on resource and population management.
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/I am pessimistic. I am not at all certain that society will survive the coming disasters considering the apocalyptic nature of those forces now threatening us. And even if a society does remain intact, technology may not and human behavior is very likely to repeat the old ways. We would once again create soldiers and religions.
Kordan, you understand perfectly what is happening except that our most recent fiat currency system went into effect 80 years ago, not 40. Quantitative Easing is nothing new and has been the process employed by the FED since its inception. It is purposefully done as a way to devalue the currency because inflation is how the banks and the few rich are able to confiscate energy and wealth from the laboring population.
This is very simple to understand. THEY PRINT THE CURRENCY AT WILL. The more they print, the less it is worth so they decide its value at any given time. They decide how much your pay is worth by deciding what the fiat currency with which you are paid is worth.
Our lives have been controlled by these people for the last 80 years and the end game is in sight for them. Some say we just experienced the next-to-the last boom bust cycle and that there is one more to come. The Quantitative Easing move to be made soon may fuel the next mini boom or it may simply stave off the final steep fall off the edge. Either way, the end is upon us. I can’t seem to get a good idea as to the time frame, though. If anyone has some ideas on this, I would like to hear it. Sometime between 2013 and 2018 may be the soonest. Others say we have another generation before the fall.
I make a mighty effort to keep my temper and calm myself when confronted with situations which force me to consider what the US is doing, has done and intends to do. I remind myself there is absolutely nothing fair minded individuals can do to stop or even hinder the U.S. and corporate juggernaut.
It is even more difficult to keep my tongue when I read or hear other Americans ignorantly supporting this evil. The arrogant attitude that the U.S. has a manifest destiny which is guided by some imaginary god and a monetary policy which has taken on the aura of a religion has poisoned our image in so many places that I cringe a bit whenever I am identified as gringo. It is always heartening to come across other North Americans who do not support the flag waving, bible thumping fanatics.
It may be that their task is merely to make their presence felt…strike a pose of might and power in a tiny little country with no army in order to remind all who has the big guns. Bullies don’t usually need to do any physical harm to get their way.
For this kind of entertainment, I would make a serious compromise to my moral integrity and would recite a series whatever primitive religious rituals such a diverse crowd of drunk, naked, middle-aged coffee bean picking expats required.
Bravo, Scott! A man’s actions speak speak directly to his character.
Mr. Shakespeare wrote in one of his works: “Such as we are made of, such we be.”[quote=”kordan”]COSTA RICA WILL CHANGE CURRENCIES
IT WILL BE CALLED THE AMERO–OR MAYBE THE BANCOR
Already Costa Rica is adopting changes through Cafta
Every new business has to be wheelchair accessible—including old 2 story+ buildings—NO ELEVATOR= BIG PROBLEMS

There are thorough airport checks–because terrorism is such a major threat in Costa Rica

I have read one theory as to why people are so easily trapped and enslaved. We are compared to a frog placed in a pot of tepid water with the heat under the pot being gradually increased. The frog acclimates to the changing water temperature, never noticing any discomfort until it is too late and he is boiled alive.
You are quoting one of the larger and more recent participants
in the grand scheme. I suspect Scott would latch onto the fact the he was a Jew but I don’t think that is the salient aspect. I have yet to see any evidence that Jewish religion or culture is the driving force behind the elitist owners. I would ask Scott to broaden his scope to include offenders from other cultures as well.[quote=”costaricabill”]Now it’s starting to make sense….Sprite the conspiritorial heathen brings it all into perspective.[/quote]
Quotes warning about shadow government have been made by presidents Jefferson, Wilson, Lincoln, Eisenhower and Kennedy to name a few. If those people were crackpots, I need to hear your definition of crackpot.

I doubt it. Obama is part of the same power infrastructure that selected Bush. I have nothing but criticism for all of them.
[quote=”dboy”]If someone was to be a squatter on your land, I doubt you’d be Googling quotes to make it sound altruistic.[/quote]
If the system wasn’t so nasty and screwed up, there would not be such a thing as a squatter. But so many people are dispossessed of their energy and so much of the resources have been corralled by a greedy few, that the rest of us are forced to compete with each other for all the basics of life.
I would do what I had to to remove anyone from land which I purchased for my use. That does not detract from the truth of the matter that possession of land is an absurd concept which we are all forced to engage.

Some quotes on land ownership:“What is this you call property? It cannot be the earth, for the land is our mother, nourishing all her children, beasts, birds, fish and all men. The woods, the streams, everything on it belongs to everybody and is for the use of all. How can one man say it belongs only to him?” -Massasoit
“Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine were taken away.” (Anaxagoras)
“It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly.” (Bertrand Russell)[/quote]

[quote=”Ms. Betty”]Really, please do not pay any squatter, aka, any thief ANY money…this only rewards very bad behavior…
Betty[/quote]We are all forced into playing the ownership game, including the squatter. After all, it is the only game in town. I have always wondered why there is any consideration for squatters within many legal systems. I have an inkling as to the thinking behind squatters’ rights. Who has more respect for land, one who owns it as merely an investment chit or one who lives upon it to maintain himself? A squatter has some legitimacy within this parameter as long as he stays put on land legally owned by an absent owner whose only interest is to convert land into currency. But as soon as the squatter tries to sell that land, to convert land into cash currency, he loses that legitimacy and becomes a thief in my estimation.

I don’t waste emotion on hating the tiny segment of the population which finds a way to skim and scam off of others. We are all forced to consider ways in which to extract limited wealth from an environment of scarcity. It is a zero sum game as it is currently constructed. Money that ends up in your pocket has come from somebody else’s pocket. All business is forced into various degrees of dishonesty and/or exploitation to survive. This causes mistrust.
If you go to a doctor, and he tells you you need a new liver, you can’t be sure if you really need a new liver or if your doctor needs to make expensive repairs on his yacht.
The more egregious the dishonesty or exploitation, the more anger we tend to feel towards the offender. But if you are a business person, look at your own way of earning income before you start passing judgement. The profit motive forces business people into dishonesty and/or exploitation. You buy for less than market worth and sell for market worth or more and keep the difference. Market value is established by such actions and there has to be a monetary loser in each transaction.
This is unfair and injustice and mistrust permeate society at all levels as people constantly scam each other in an effort to satisfy the profit motive. Fair price only means what the market will bear. It does not really mean “fair price”.[quote=”orcas0606″]Hey Scott. It’s not me orcas06 who is crying about ilegals stealing their jobs. In fact, I rather sympathise with them and understand the situation that they are in. US labor in many cases has priced themselves out of the market with a lot of help of the unions. [/quote]
Unions only try to protect their member workers against abuses from corporate employers regardless of damage to business goals. Corporations only follow the mandate to make profit without regard to damage done to workers or society. It is a natural and destructive state of confrontation caused by competition for scarce money. Neither side is more to blame than the other. Instead of removing unions from the equation (which is what has been done)removing money from the equation would cease the confrontational relationship. Can you even imagine an economic system based on resource management as opposed to one based on money and scarcity?
As long as the current system is in place, problems will be international in nature and scope as the world economy evolves. The plan is to dissolve national borders and have a world of slaves working for the same subsistent wages. We are well on the way to that end. I don’t see how attempting to stop migrant workers at current borders would do much to address the real issue of world dominance by international banks. In any case, you need not do anything because eventually, wages everywhere will even out and there will be little incentive for workers to leave for other countries.
