Closely Guarded Secret

Thomas Jefferson said,

“If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Hal Lindsey has some interesting thoughts regarding the Wall Street mess .
His article starts with a history lesson of the Great Depression, and then he compares that with what he have today.

And guess who made billions of dollars while Americans went into a horrible depression? The powerful international banking families who own the central bank we know as the Federal Reserve System. They bought up, usually through surrogates, failed banks for pennies on the dollar, centralizing and consolidating their control over more of the U.S. banking system. They did the same thing with many of the best industries and assets of the country.

Now I believe we are seeing the 21st century model of the same thing, only with a little different strategy.

The drama began to publicly unfold when the chiefs of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve, Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke, went to the president and the U.S. Congress and laid out an “apocalyptic scenario” of utter economic disaster for the country. They presented what they said was the only way to avert a national and international economic meltdown.

Paulson asked for a $700 billion bailout package immediately, with no strings attached. Such “strings” as no oversight, no accountability and no authorization required as to whom and how the money would be spent. And he gave a deadline of less than a week for this “ransom” to be paid, or it would be too late to avert utter disaster. Now I call that “blackmail” on a heretofore-unprecedented scale.

This caused me to look up the connections of this duo that were asking such a colossal thing with a straight face.

Just before Paulson became the secretary of treasury, he was the chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. These are believed be two of the banking families who are part of the original owners of the Federal Reserve. Though just who the private owners of the Federal Reserve are is a closely guarded secret, it has been widely accepted that Goldman, Sachs, along with such names as Rothschild, Warburg Lehman, Kuhn, Loeb and Seif are private owners. For a normal American, there would be an immediate assumption of “conflict of interest,” wouldn’t you say?

The moment a man accepts the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve, he becomes responsible to carry out the will and interests of the non-elected, mostly foreign owners of the Fed, not the U.S. government. So Benjamin Bernanke is in that role at this moment, and as such, has a conflict of interest in this bailout, too.

So with these two men asking for what in effect is illegal for the U.S. government to do, i.e., to bailout private banking and loan institutions from debts they incurred as a result of reckless and irresponsible loans, should be suspicious in the very extreme.

Did you read what he said. Those who own the Federal Reserve is a secret? For that matter do we know who actually owns the banks we have our money in? And if banking families made billions back then, how much are they making now?
