Editorial: Keep the faux government shuttered

"We must go forward cautiously and consolidate each acquired position, because already the inferior social stratum of society is giving unceasing signs of agitation. Let us make use of the courts. ... When, through the law’s intervention, the common people shall have lost their homes, they will be more easy to control and more easy to govern, and they shall not be able to resist the strong hand of the Government acting in accordance with ... the control of the leaders of finance.

"We must keep the people busy with political antagonisms. ... By dividing the electorate in this way, we’ll be able to have them spend their energies at struggling amongst themselves on questions that, for us, have no importance whatsoever." – US Bankers magazine, 1892

While the banks and their corporations continue to orchestrate the charade performed by their puppets in the District of Columbia, it occurs to us that, if the bank holding companies at the top of the power pyramid did not control the government, the mass media, and the Internet, this would be an excellent opportunity to address the root cause of global dysfunction: private control over money creation and credit regulation.

As we've documented on this blog site and cited in a couple of key studies, a small group of people own the key central banks and currencies on this planet, and have used this power to manipulate the money supply, various markets, and legal parameters, as well as to execute brute force to acquire strategic assets (corporations, resources, and governments) including: the banks that own the U.S. Federal Reserve System; the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the U.S. government; U.S. military and intelligence services; the media and Internet; voting systems; state governments; and various city and county governments.

While this means that the financiers have all the money and all the guns, let's indulge ourselves for a moment and try to imagine a means by which their pitiful exercise leads to bigger and better things.

Start with one of the legal definitions of racketeering: A pattern of illegal activity carried out as part of an enterprise that is owned or controlled by those who are engaged in the illegal activity. This definition derives from the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations Act (RICO), a set of laws (18 U.S.C.A. § 1961 et seq. [1970]).

Also, as noted on this blog site, the financiers, who own the banks that control the Federal Reserve System, use fraud as their business model.

One of the ways that we could truly shut down this criminal operation is for each state to declare that the compact between their own body corporate and politic and that of the federal government is null and void, since the federal government has been seized by racketeers. The problem with this tactic is that the state governments are, for the most part, controlled by the same racketeers. So, perhaps this could only be done by certain cities and counties; but that is unlikely as well, since so few public officials have the intelligence, will, and sense of public service that is required to confront the banks' minions.

So, we, the electorate, the so-called represented, are left with few alternatives, including filing a class-action suit against the federal and state governments. Of course, the judiciary, being an arm of the racketeers, is unlikely to hear, let alone grant, such a motion, making it simply an educational exercise. Yet, at this time, a class-action suit, or, in the states where it is permitted, an initiative to create publicly owned banks, are our best strategies. The reason for this simple: If we are to be the change that we envision for the world, we employ a means that is consistent with our objective.

There is no better example of this than in Charles Dickens' personal favorite work, A Christmas Carol, in which Ebenezer Scrooge, a usurer from the City of London--who declares such things as letting the poor die off would be good, because it would "reduce the surplus population"--has a conversion that transforms his life into one of genuine concern for his fellow human beings.

This is why we must go down to the courthouse, the municipal building, city hall, and all the hearing rooms and put it to our "elected" officials: "What shall it be, the banks or the people?"
