The Hedonistic Pleasureseeker

Now THIS is subversion I can sink my teeth into! Not that I think we can go back to a “gold standard” by throwing a national snit. Still, I love the idea of hitting the Federal Reserve where it counts! Classic bank runs expose the lie that is our fake money system.

The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE BANK. A small number of profiteers pull money out of their asses and make SQUILLIONS what is basically a confidence game. A $1 bill costs three cents to print, and electronic fake money costs the Fed next to nothing!

The Fed lends it’s imaginary money to the banks (”it’s valuable because we tell you that it is”), which in turn lends said imaginary money to us. Both the Fed and the banks then extract tribute from us (usury/interest) until we go bankrupt or die, whichever comes first. We blindly accept each other’s imaginary money in exchange for goods and services because we are stupid. It’s a brilliant pyramid scheme, but as anyone who knows how pyramid schemes work they 1) enrich those at the top of the pyramid, 2) eventually crash under the weight of the lies, and 3) ruin the guys and gals at the bottom of the pyramid.

National economies are not simple things, but one of the main reasons we suffer inflation is because the Fed loans out too much money. Banker greed hurts the elderly and the poor the most: Right now REAL inflation is running at about 11%, possibly even higher than that. Imagine how much it sucks to be on a fixed income these days.

On or slightly BEFORE June 5 (to pre-empt any damage-control monkey business on the part of the banks) tell the private bankers at the Fed and on Wall Street that you are “Fed UP.” Take your money out (leave just enough to cover your direct payments) and just SIT on it for a few days. Better yet, buy gold or silver coins or foreign currencies with your spare cash; you won’t regret it. The richer you are, the more the Fed will freak out, but even large numbers of cash poor folks can make the Feds sit up and take notice. Spend the money on veggie seedlings at the garden center and dig yourself some raised beds at home: We the People might be poor, but at least we’ll eat well during the Fall.
