We, the citizens of the United States, hereby notify the plutocrats and bloodsuckers of Wall Street that we take umbrage at the depredations you have visited upon us. Contrary to the nonsense your deluded supporters post on this forum, there is a deep chasm between the interests of Wall Street and Main Street. Thomas Jefferson presciently expressed this view when he said, banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Main Street Americans labor night and day to build and protect this great country. We are the scaffold upon which this country is built. We proudly carry on the great American tradition of our founding fathers who fought and died so that we can be free of parasites like you. Through our toil and sweat over the years, many great projects have been built despite the usurious fees and interest rates you have levied on us. As Mark Twain said, a banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. Main Street Americans provide the muscle and know-how that make businesses successful. Wall Street is a support function, nothing more. If you cannot support American industry without bleeding it dry, it is time we rid ourselves of your so-called lubricant because it is causing the engine of our nation to seize up.

According to a 2008 article by David Rothkopf, the world’s 1,100 richest people have almost twice the assets of the poorest 2.5 billion (Rothkopf, 2008). Aside from the obvious problem – that this global elite has their hands in everything from politics to financial institutions – …

To the extent that we, the people, are removed from control over our lands, marketplaces, central banks, and media we are no longer empowered. In practice, those few who do control the land, central bank, media and "free market" are the real rulers of our corrupt and declining "democracy."

Due to propaganda from a corporate-owned and edited media we are kept from knowing, much less debating, the nature of our system. Due to a central bank owned by bankers, media owned by a few global concerns, and trade regime controlled by global corporations (i.e., one designed to remove the people from control over their markets and environments) the vast majority have become little more than latter-day serfs and neo-slaves upon a corporate latifundia.

To restore a semblance of effective democracy and true freedom Americans, and people around the world, need to re-educate themselves as to the true nature of their political and economic systems. Toward this end, OligarchyUSA.com is dedicated to providing old and new information, books, links, reform ideas and debates not easily found or accessed today in establishment media.

OligarchyUSA.com is but one more site and sign of the times as ground-up counter-revolutions arise around the world... all in response to a forced and freedomless globalization courtesy of a ruling global elite perfecting their top-down plutocracy and revolutions of the rich against the poor. In short, democracy is no longer effective today. For this reason, it is toward a restoration of truly effective and representative democracies, and natural freedom, that this site is dedicated.
