Denne plukka eg opp på ei debattliste eg er med på. Eg kjenner ikkje Victor
Thorn og magasinet hans, og kan ikkje på nokon måte gå god for dette.
Likevel synest eg noko av dette er interessant.

Who Controls The Federal Reserve System?
By Victor Thorn
5-9-2
Now that we know the Federal Reserve is a privately owned, for-profit
corporation, a natural question would be: who OWNS this company? Peter
Kershaw provides the answer in "Economic Solutions" where he lists the ten
primary shareholders in the Federal Reserve banking system.
1) The Rothschild Family - London 2) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 3) The
Lazard Brothers - Paris 4) Israel Seiff - Italy 5) Kuhn-Loeb Company -
Germany 6) The Warburgs - Amsterdam 7) The Warburgs - Hamburg 8) Lehman
Brothers - New York 9) Goldman & Sachs - New York 10) The Rockefeller
Family - New York
Now I don't know about you, but something is terribly wrong with this
situation. Namely, don't we live in AMERICA? If so, why are seven of the top
ten stockholders located in FOREIGN countries? That's 70%! To further convey
how screwed-up this system is, Jim Marrs provides the following data in his
phenomenal book, "Rule By Secrecy." He says that the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, which undeniably controls the other eleven Federal Reserve
branches, is essentially controlled by two financial institutions:
1) Chase-Manhattan (controlled by the Rockefellers) - 6,389,445 shares -
32.3%
2) Citbank - 4,051,851 shares - 20.5%
Thus, these two entities control nearly 53% of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank. Doesn't that boggle your mind? Now, considering how many trillions of
dollars are involved here, and how the bankers are WAY above our "selected"
officials in Washington, D.C., do you think the above-listed banks and
families have an inordinate amount of say-so in how our country is being
run? The answer is blindingly apparent.
Where does the money come from?
We all know that the Federal Reserve CORPORATION prints money - then loans
it, at interest, to our government. But wait until you see what a total scam
this process is. But before we get to the meat of this issue, let's remember
one thing about the very essence of banking - primarily that money should
have some type of standard upon which its value is based. In the case of
America, we operate on what is called a "gold standard" (i.e. our money is
backed by gold).
So, with that in mind, let's look at how money is actually created, and at
what cost. If the Federal Reserve wants to print 1,000 one-hundred ($100)
bills, their total cost for ink, paper, plates, labor, etc. would be
approximately $23.00 (according to Davvy Kidd in "Why A Bankrupt America").
Now, if you do the math, the total cost of 10,000 bills would be $230.00
($.023 x 10,000). But, and here's the catch - 10,000 $100 bills equals
$1,000,000! So, the Federal Reserve can "create" a million dollars, then
LEND it to the U.S. Government (with interest) for a total cost of $230.00!
That's not a bad deal, huh!
The banking industry calls this process "seignorage." I call it outright
THEFT. Why? Well, regardless of the immense profit margin ($1,000,000 for
$230), plus the huge interest payments, our government then needs to STEAL
the American people's money to payoff their debts via a Mob-like agency
called the IRS. So the bankers steal from the government, then the
government turns around and steals from the people. I'm no genius, but who
do you think is getting screwed in this process? US - the people at the
bottom rung of the ladder.
What's worse is that - now catch your breath - there's NO MORE gold left in
Fort Knox! It's all gone. In other words, the GOLD STANDARD that our
financial system was based upon is now an illusion. We can't convert our
money into gold --- only other currency. The entire underlying basis for our
money is now a lie - a sham. The Federal Reserve has become so arrogant that
they've become a literal MONEY MAKING MACHINE, creating currency out of thin
air! So that's where the Fed gets their money - they literally make it, then
lend it to us so they can make even MORE money off of it.
Money As A Religion
The above-detailed process has become so ridiculous that William Grieder,
former assistant managing editor of the Washington Post, wrote a book in
1987 entitled, "Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the
Country" that details how the Controllers have conditioned us to accept this
absurd situation.
"To modern minds," he writes, "it seemed bizarre to think of the Federal
Reserve as a religious institution. Yet the conspiracy theorists, in their
own demented way, were on to something real and significant. The Fed did
also function in the realm of religion. Its mysterious powers of money
creation, inherited from priestly forebears, shielded a complex bundle of
social and psychological meanings. With its own form of secret incantation,
the Federal Reserve presided over awesome social ritual, transactions so
powerful and frightening they seemed to lie beyond common understanding."
Mr. Grieder continues, "Above all, money was a function of faith. It
required implicit and universal social consent that was indeed mysterious.
To create money and use it, each one must believe, and everyone must
believe. Only then did worthless pieces of paper take on value."
Do you get it? MONEY is an ILLUSION! Why? Because the gold standard upon
which our money is supposed to be based has been eliminated. There's no more
gold in Fort Knox. It's all GONE! Now, money really IS only paper!!! In the
past, money was supposed to represent something of tangible value. Now it's
simply paper!
Taken one step further, many of us don't even use paper money any more! Why?
Well, here's a scenario. Many places of employment directly deposit their
employee's paychecks into the bank. Once the money is there, when bill time
comes around, the person in question can write out a stack of checks to pay
them. Plus, when they need gasoline they use a credit card; and groceries a
debit card. If this person goes out for dinner on Friday night, they can
charge the tab on their diner's card. But what about the tip? They simply
scribble in the amount at the bottom of the check. So far, the person hasn't
spent a single dollar bill. Plus, if you bring electronic banking into the
picture, we've virtually eliminated the use for money. And, God forbid, what
happens when encoded microchips are implanted into
the backs of our hand?
In essence, money has become nothing more than an illusion - an electronic
figure or amount on a computer screen. That's it! As time goes on, we have
an increasing tendency toward being sucked into this Wizard of Oz vortex of
unreality. Think about it. Americans as a whole are carrying more personal
debt than in any other time in history. Plus our government keeps going
further and further into the hole, with no hope of ever crawling out. But we
have less and less actual MONEY! We're being enslaved by the debt of
electronic blips on a computer screen! And 70% of the banks that control
this debt via the Federal Reserve exist in foreign countries! What in God's
name is going on? As author William Bramley says, "The result of this whole
system is MASSIVE debt at every level of society."
We're getting screwed in a sickening way, folks, and the people doing it are
demented magician-priests that use the ILLUSION of money as their control
device. And I hate to say it, but if we allow things to keep going as they
are, the situation will only get worse. Our only hope ... ONLY HOPE ... is
to immediately take drastic action and remedy this crime.
