Actually, most that know me would say I am very laid back and non-emotional type......trade out of a very nice trade office in Austin, TX or out at a hangar west of town on days I am going to do some flying. Sorry to blow holes in your mental walls again! :eek:
I have occasionally been able to verify some of what amtswa is saying. The former no 2 person at the second or third largest oil company in world told me at dinner (my dad was a lawyer for an oil company) ... the problem with congress is that they are not our crooks anymore. (Its a saying among industry leaders.) There is no doubt the power interests of the world are jockeying for position in a future with severely depleted natural resources. Water, oil, food.... it looks like its going to be brutal. I see as inevitable that the power players position for control.
Look about 5 or 6 years ago I saw a video on et which said all sorts of nutty things. One I could check. Was the fed a private bank. Up until about 2 years ago you were a nut if you thought the Federal Reserve was a private bank. I can not tell you how many educated people called me a conspiracy nut. I had to send them links to the federal reserves own website. So chalk that one up to the conspiracy nuts. It could have been amt who posted the link to the nutty but true video. it was a fractional reserve banking video... which becomes more correct every year. "Nuts" like amt were talking about the shit storm that was going to hit the mortgage market and take down the economy... needless to say they do not look like nuts anymore. Nuts like Amt were talking about the take down for the economy and the switch to new currency.. People said they were nuts. Then we see news of amero in its planning stages. Our liberties are being eroded by the power players and congress every day. I take the nuts over those who trust the govt to not be corrupted by more power any day. "It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."

A video on the Internet? Surely everything it says must be true... I regretfully have to inform you, jem (no offense intended) that you're still a conspiracy nut .
In the end it is unimportant if or if not the Rothschilds own the system or not. If they don't, others will have undesirable influence surely and if they do others will replace them should they be cut off. The personification of evil is probably one of the best tools at disposal to influence mass psychology and clouden historical accuracy. Clinton destroyed the US. I thought Bush destroyed the US? Waith, it is Obama who is destroying the US today! Or was it Bernanke? No, Greenspan did it. Osama Bin Laden was Al Qaida. Let's kill him so the world can become safe again. Hitler was the biggest evil ever. He killed 6 million jews. If only someone would have stopped him there would have never been a second world war. The Rothschilds own the world. Can someone take them out please so the world can be free at last?
You didnt know this before AMST's videos? Central banks are private for a reason, and a very good reason, its to make sure that the government isnt controlling them, and that monetary policy is seperate from government policy. Given the ineptitude in our government, and how they flat out bribe people with tax payer dollars, could you imagine how quickly the government would have destroyed the dollar if they had control over monetary policy? Has the fed always acted in our best interest? DEFINATELY NO, infact they are just as bad as the government now, but it is mostly due to bad policy, as opposed to corruption in my opinion. They look at deflation as some kind of horrible beast, which i disagree with, but if they didnt exist economics cycles would be much more prolonged, the Feds main goal is simply to keep a steady pace of low inflation, there isnt some kind of strange conspiracy going on here. We seem to forget because it has been so long, but in the late 70's early 80's the fed was actually drastically increasing interest rates, and decreqasing the money supply to fight hyperinflation, it hasnt always been a system of central bankers just printing money. As for Fractional reserve banking it is nothing new it has been taught in Econ 101 for a century, i think it is somewhat of a necessary evil, if banks really only lent the exact amount of money they had on hand could you imagine how hard it would be to get a loan, and how much that loan would cost you? Banks need to make money just like everyone else does, they cant simply charge a 2% skim on the money which comes in vs. the money they lend out, and expect to be profitable, they also cant expect to just pay people out interest when they store their money with them, that would be impossible if there wasnt borroowers involved. Plus if it was a 1 to 1 system, the second times got tough, the depositors would be withdrawling all their money, and there is no room for error, so fractional reserve banking allows people with money on deposit access to their funds, if they need it in hard times, but it allows the bank to make a little money for that storage fee, and it prevents a run on the banks.
I know about fractional reserve banking and the money supply and the velocity of money and all sorts of economic ideas. I was an econ major at G.W. in D.C. in the 80s. Most of my professors were very pro fed kinds of guys. Some probably even worked at the fed... although I do not remember for sure. (one t.a. was rather marxist so he probably works for obama now.) But... I tell you this... no one ever said the fed was a privately owned bank bank then.
Sorry, I thought you were questioning both, my bad. I was actually taught in first year Econ that the fed was private, i remember because that was when i started reading some of these videos about the rothchilds, and evil bankers, and i promptly came to my own conslusion that it was B.S. The bottom line for me, and the thing that really makes me laugh about these conspiracy theories is this. If the "Rothchilds" and the fed are working to enrich themselves why do they need more money? I mean, If this is all a big scheme, and money is just a printed piece of paper what purpose does it serve these guys to inflate the dollar and give themselves more and more dollars so they can control the world? What do they want, do they want 18 trillion dollars? Remember money is just paper, it only has worth because it represents someone elses labour. These guys could give/print themselves all the money in the world and it wont mean shit if someone isnt willing to work for it, so what is the purpose of this scheme? Frankly they would be more powerful if they dont push the envelope to much and piss people off. Also why would multiple generations of rich people work for more and more money, when they dont need the money anymore? They dont have to work anymore, They are already rich, so what purpose does it serve them to enslave/murder the rest of mankind? We would have to be dealing with an entire multi generational crew of millions of psychopaths who were basically like Adolf Hitler, and all wanted to control the world, in order for that to make any sense. If the plan is what AMSTW is talking about, then the plan is to kill off most of the population so they can have a personal playground with slaves, in which case, they wouldnt be planning that for themselves, it would have to be for their kids, since they will be dead already long before the plan comes to fruition, in which case why have none of the kids who are going to be the beneficiary of this ridiculous plan spoken up? I mean surely of the millions of rich people out there, a couple of them, or a couple of their kids must have a conscience. You see where im going with this? It just doesnt make any sense.
