"Today the government is actually run by the money cartel. Big business holds all the cards, because its affiliated banks have appropriated the power to create money for themselves. These giant cartels can be brought to heel only by cutting off their source of power and returning it to its rightful sovereign owners, the people and their representative government. The problem with the current monetary scheme is not that the government is irresponsibly running the printing presses but that private bankers are covertly engaged in that practice. Bankers have monopolized the business of issuing and lending the national money supply, a function that the Constitution delegates solely to Congress. What hides behind the banner of "free enterprise" today is a system in which giant corporate monopolies have used their affiliated banking trusts to generate unlimited funds to buy up competitors, the media, and the government itself, forcing truly independent private enterprise out. Big private banks are allowed to create money out of nothing, lend it at interest, foreclose on the collateral, and determine who gets credit and who doesn't. They can advance massive loans to their affiliated cartels and hedge funds, which use the money to raid competitors and manipulate markets. If some players have the power to create money and others don't, the playing field is not 'level' but allows some favored players to dominate and coerce others. "
There is a disturbing amount of evidence that our problems don't just extend to the private corporate banks, but that in fact the entire World Banking System exists not to enrich humanity but to enslave humanity beneath its debt.
While I certainly cannot claim to know the motivations that guide those behind the institutions currently in power, I can however investigate their history and their actions.
