Forum Post: I'm not here for socialism or anarchy. I'm here to bring down the banksters (aka, the FED).

It's a well-known fact in some circles that there are people manipulating our money supply for their own benefit. These people, if you can call them that, are the scum of the earth. They think it is okay to kill millions of people so they can increase their money. The problem is, they attack infrequently, so people forget in the meantime. If you think something is horribly wrong in the world but don't know what it is, this might be it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you may want to review the history of central banks. I suggest this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs . It is 3 hours long, but you don't need to watch the whole thing to see what I am talking about.

Warning: once you go down this rabbit hole, you can't go back.

You insist on calling us Marxists, when we have all, I think, made it perfectly clear that we are not Marxists, and that is just one way that you so trasparently reveal your true motives; which are, of course, simply to uphole the status quo.

[-] 2 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

I wasn't calling anybody marxist. This post is really about bankers.

I'm with you. As soon as they say OWS is "Marxist," they are just repeating what their talking heads upload into their brains. They are little Beck-drones or FOX-drones and not worth the bandwidth they're using.

[-] -1 points by GypsyKing (8708) 13 years ago

Yeah, I usually don't waste my time with these talking heads.

Washington is only as involved as the Banksters want them to be. No one can create a Marxist [sic] utopia without their permission.

My point is, this isn't 'the 99%' if we are demanding radical changes towards the left or right. I think you got the wrong idea from the title of the post.

[-] 1 points by GypsyKing (8708) 13 years ago

I'm not "demnanding racial changes towards the left or right," I'm suggesting that the races dialogue in their struggle for justice and human dignity.

Washington is just as involved in all of this. Yet you people look to government to create you Marxist utopia.

The thing about you RP types is that you have such simple solutions to such complex problems. It must be the result of short attention spans, or in this case, maybe mezmerism.

Austrian economic theory is hardly "simple". It requires a great deal of understanding of mechanisms which are not visible to participants in the market. Simple would be the economic philosophy we now pursue which is "in good times spend because we can afford it and in bad times spend more because it keeps the economy running and never worry about long term effects".

I'd also point out that someone linking to a three hour video they have watched hardly qualifies as someone with a short attention span.

I think we all got a pretty good look at Austrian economic theory in the 1930's and 40s, and as I recall most of us rejected it.

[-] 1 points by Febs (824) from Plymouth Meeting, PA 13 years ago

Not at all. How can we have Austrian economics when the money supply is controlled by a central bank? A central bank controlling interest rates and money supply (besides causing the GD as admitted by Greenspan and Bernanke) causes the business cycle by obscuring market signals of interest.

This is understood in about a thirty minute investigation into the Austrian school on wikipedia. It seems to me you're commenting on something you don't even have a basic grasp of.

[-] 1 points by GypsyKing (8708) 13 years ago

Did I say we have Austrian economics?

[-] 1 points by Febs (824) from Plymouth Meeting, PA 13 years ago

You said we got a good luck at them during a time where they weren't being practiced. That statement shows you assumed that we had attempted it and it had failed when that isn't historically accurate.

What we have is neo-Keynesian economic policies.

[-] 1 points by GypsyKing (8708) 13 years ago

The Neo says it all, as in Neo-Con, as in Con-Job.

[-] 1 points by Febs (824) from Plymouth Meeting, PA 13 years ago

I don't like neo-Keynesianism any more than I like neo-conservatism. After all its our current economic philosophy that allows us to wage so many debt driven wars. Without the ability to manipulate monetary policy the cost of the wars would be felt today and not pushed off in the future - that cost would quickly turn American opinion against the wars as too costly.

I think RP is a bit extreme. We don't have good presidential choices.

You uploaded a 3 hour long video? I didn't even know you could do that.

[-] 1 points by sudoname (1001) from Berkeley, CA 13 years ago

Nah, this is made by professionals about 15 years ago and uploaded from someone else. You can do that with the premium account on youtube.

Then you sir are not welcome here. Be gone.

[-] 2 points by Febs (824) from Plymouth Meeting, PA 13 years ago

Why would they not be welcome? The 99% must agree on a narrow band of ideologies that doesn't actually represent 99% of Americans?
