Wake Up America: A Point About Debt and the Fed

I have spend a great deal of time trying to educate the public about the largest conspiracy facing our nation, the existence of the Federal Reserve. I want to make a few points in order to help illustrate an aspect of this conspiracy.

First of all, if you are not already aware of this, the Federal Reserve is neither federal or a reserve. It is a private bank that was illegally given complete control over American monetary policy and it is permitted to create money for itself out of nothing. The money is not backed by gold or silver or anything of value. It is basically a loan shark with a fancy name.

You see, the Federal Reserve acts like the godfather to the bank industry Mafia. There is nothing illegal about the banking industry except for the fact that its profitability is based on the illegal and immoral conduct of the Federal Reserve. Understand this: banks make money by doing one thing; lending you money. Actually thanks to fractional reserve banking they can lend you money that they do not have, charge you interest on that money, and then they can count that interest as an asset before you even pay them back! That’s just one problem. The real problem is with the Federal Reserve.itself. The Fed exists for two reasons: one is to keep the government in debt and the other is to keep you and me in debt. If we are not in debt then we are not borrowing money and the banks are not making money.

Congress won’t touch this issue. If you look closely, the strength of the American economy is really all smoke and mirrors.
