Over the past several years, people around the world have, in ever-greater numbers, taken to the streets to call attention to the increasing repression and control being exerted by those who own most of the capital assets on this planet. Beginning with Occupy Wall Street, then across the U.S. and on every continent except Antarctica, protests are aimed at the local operatives for those at the top of the power pyramid.
Yet, each movement seems to be unaware of the root cause and/or is infiltrated and manipulated to dilute or stall reform, while the corporate media further erodes these uprisings by mis-characterizing the events.
As noted elsewhere on this blog, it is well documented that the power to suppress protests on this scale resides in the hands of very few people, who see themselves as the masterminds of the evolution of the human race.
The source of their power is control over the once-sovereign currencies of most of the nations on Earth. From this criminally obtained franchise that includes the largest central, commercial, and investment banks, the self-described "New World Order" (the words of David Rockefeller and George H.W. Bush) has, through their printing press (the "Federal" Reserve System) purchased the key corporations and control over governments, which allow them maintain their stranglehold on life in our neighborhood of the solar system.
Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the financiers were more forthcoming about their hegemony over the money supply, the economy, and their ability to freely manipulate these levers in service to their greed, the patriarch of one of the most powerful international banking clans, Meyer Amschel Rothschild is reputed to have said: "Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes the laws." In other words, if the people of the United States want to restore sovereignty to their nation, they must take back control over their nation's currency.
As envisioned by the founding fathers, money was to be issued and regulated by Congress (Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution), a power that the Constitution denies to the states (in Article I, section 10, by prohibiting "bills of credit" [i.e., paper money]). Yet, over the Congressional Christmas recess in 1913, the banks were able to round up enough "elected" sell-outs to pass the Federal Reserve Act.
Prior to this takeover of the United States (by the owners of the ill-begotten international central banks), the original 13 colonies, the Continental Congress, and President Lincoln, all had issued sovereign currency. Some of the original colonies also owned their own banks. However, at the present time, North Dakota is the only body corporate and politic in the U.S. that owns its own bank.
The Bank of North Dakota has been around for 104 years, providing many services, including generating income for the state, providing disaster relief, and renegotiating mortgages during economic contractions. The state of North Dakota has the lowest unemployment and only large budget surpluses among the 50 states.
All the rest of the states, counties, and cities in the U.S. are at the mercy of the banks, which periodically destroy the economy by contracting the money supply, thereby destroying the tax base and robbing public bodies of tax revenue. Aside from taking back control of the nation's sovereign currency by putting the banks that control the Federal Reserve out of business--an unlikely route, given the degree to which the legislative, executive, and judicial branches in DC and in most states are owned and operated--it is at the city and county level, and perhaps a few states, where citizens can begin to turn things around.
They can do this by having their cities and counties and states put their tax monies and other liquid assets into their own publicly owned banks, just like North Dakota. These moneys can then be leveraged just like the for-profit banks would do, except that it would be done in the local public interest, not for the short-term gratification of a few.
If the legislative bodies in these political subdivisions stall or resist the effort, then wherever the initiative process is still alive, that would be the preferred route, because it guarantees that every year more people are educated about public banking, regardless of whether the measure passes at that time.
This is a key point: the so-called "endless war on terrorism" is really an information war and, therefore, progressive strategies must begin by keeping the root cause--control over currency and tax dollars--under discussion, continually coming back with new initiatives, if the banks and their operatives suppress the previous efforts.
Any discussion of informing the public leads back to the monopoly that the banks have over "news," with four or five of their corporations (meaning one or two banks) controlling all the mass media in the U.S. Clearly, if a democratic republic were to be established in the U.S., decentralization of the media and guaranteed net neutrality, would, in addition to a network of publicly owned banks, be a requirement. Also, a strong public TV and radio network is also important. This should be 100% supported by government money (i.e., a government not controlled by the banking cartel), since we've seen how corporate underwriting and behests have destroyed the journalistic edge of PBS and NPR.
Add to these, the third sine qua non of a democratic republic: public-campaign-funding (only) of verifiable voting, which includes paper ballots only, no electronic counting machines, qualified observers, and reasonable access to ballot listing for independent and third-party candidates.
Finally, corporate control over education, which is now nothing more than indoctrination, must end, and a non-ideologically based approach to teaching, based on the principle of scientific method and empirical reasoning (that is, backed up by actual data), as well as bringing aesthetic elements (arts and humanities) back to their rightful place alongside the natural and social sciences.
Of course the self-described "New World Order" (the words of David Rockefeller and George H.W. Bush) believes that none of this will happen, that they have it sewed up:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. "It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller, speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton)
