"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the
issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers
conquered.... Thomas Jefferson
President Donald Trump kicked up a shit storm this week when
he was accused of calling Haiti and African countries “shit holes.” It didn’t take long for the Deep State
operatives in the Senate and House to cry “racist”, a moniker that has become
the refuge of scoundrels. President
Trump was absolutely correct, but he should have expanded the term to include
America and the European Union whose wealth has been extracted by the central
banks leaving their people sick, broke, uneducated, hungry and homeless.
In the year 2000 America had a surplus in its Treasury after
our last President elected by the
American people had raised taxes on the wealthy, created 24 million good
paying jobs and encouraged the American people to invest in 401Ks and other
funds to supplement Social Security for their retirement. President Clinton’s rising tide lifted all
boats and it was a prosperous, peaceful time in America. Republicans and Democrats in the United
States Senate impeached President Clinton on behalf of the central bank but
were unable to remove him from office due to his high approval ratings.
The 100 year charter for America’s Central Bank known as the
Federal Reserve Bank was set to expire in 2013.
America on solid financial footing and its people prospering was a grave
threat to the existence of the Federal Reserve Bank that relies on America
being in a constant state of war and indebtedness. For that, the same Senators who impeached
President Clinton colluded with the Supreme Court and the Bush cartel to install
George W. Bush as president no matter how the people voted. Bush had vowed to privatize Social Security
and usher in private Charter Schools that were highly desired by Hedge Fund managers.
Vice President Al Gore handily won the election in spite of
the widespread election corruption in Florida where candidate Bush’s brother
Jeb was Governor. On December 12, 2000
five corrupt members of the U.S. Supreme Court ordered an end to the recount of
the Florida votes and installed the losing candidate, George W. Bush
president. Three days later the U.S.
Senate in a lame duck session, passed the Commodities Futures Modernization Act
that deregulated banks and insurance companies that opened the American economy
to the biggest financial heist in the history of the nation.
After the messy election of 2000, congress passed the Help
America Vote (the way the banks want) legislation that led to the corrupt two
party system that has allowed congress to override the election results and
install the candidate of the banks’ choice.
President Trump was able to beat the two parties at their own game and
become President and has been under attack since. From Lew Rockwell.com:

Love Him or Loathe Him, Trump is
Liberating us All From The Empire's Lies
Trump and the Fine Art of
Dialectics
Alexander Blok, one of the smartest
and most noble of Russians, wrote this amazing essay on Catiline, a Roman rebel
whose plot was crushed and who was utterly maligned by the father of all
bullshit, Cicero. So Catiline was this
patrician, a decadent SOB who, when
mistreated and challenged by the Roman establishment, organized the Roman
deplorables and started a rebellion.
It was squashed of course, but for
Blok, he remained a hero. Blok calls Catiline the Roman Bolshevik, and insists
on approaching him not from Cicero’s moralizing NYT-like perspective, but from the perspective of World Revolution.
For Blok, as he puts it, the heart
of the Roman Empire stopped when Christ was born. It continued for another few
hundred years, but in a zombie-like state until its petty, militaristic, provincial, materialistic character was
finally exposed as the bluff it always was, and it collapsed under the
weight of its own corruption. And here is Blok’s paradoxical view: Catiline’s
rebellion makes sense only from this perspective.
Catiline might have been corrupt,
decadent, debauched and what have you. Yet, he did expose how rotten Rome was. For that, both Blok and Ibsen
(another rebel against stifling bourgeois order) place Catiline in heaven.
Which takes me to Trump. Whatever his critics say, he has
it, and then some, but like Catiline, he
fully exposes how corrupt, venal, and petty the established order is. The
genie cannot be put back into the bottle. Mass media is exposed for what it is:
a spinning machine for the militaristic oppressive order, a purveyor of fake
news. And this is not the view of some obscure academic like Chomsky. It is the
view of the President of the United States.
Isn’t it liberating?! No more
butchery, bombing, and destruction, while the press conducts its cheer-leading
campaign in support of another “humanitarian intervention”, be it Serbia, Iraq,
or Libya. The genie is out of the
bottle. People are not buying it anymore.
Very true, people are no longer buying the bullshit pumped
out by the corrupt billionaire owned media that has become a war driven
propaganda tool that was ushered in under the corrupt W. Bush Administration. If Haiti is a “shit hole” it’s because the
Bush/Obama Administrations made it that way.
After all it was the Bush-Cheney Administration that removed Haiti’s democratically
elected president. From Global Research:
Excerpt:
The Kidnapping of President Jean Bertrand Aristide
Violates International Law and US
Law
Beginning in early February 2004,
the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, faced an
armed rebellion starting from the North of his country and moving South. The
rebel leaders, whom U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell characterized as
“thugs and criminals,” include former members of the dissolved Haitian army,
drug dealers, and members of the former paramilitary organization universally recognized as having operated terrorist/execution
squads during the 1991-1994 military coup…
The movement of the rebel army
towards the South was rapid, as it was armed with M-16s and M-60s of American
manufacture, and the national police had
been eviscerated by the financial and arms embargo imposed on Haiti for the
past few years, under the false
pretenses of faulty elections…
On Feburary 26, the rebel army
threatened to enter Port-au-Prince, and threatened President Aristide’s
government and his life. The civil
opposition that had been calling for President Aristide’s resignation rejected
the international proposals. At this
point, Colin Powell stated that the U.S.
would not send troops to protect the democratically elected government
until a political solution had been reached.
Two days later, the Steele
Foundation, a U.S. company which had provided President Aristide with security
under contract, informed him that the
U.S. government had forbade the company from bringing in additional security
forces to protect President Aristide.
The same day, U.S. diplomats told the President that if he remained in
Port-au-Prince, the U.S. would not provide any assistance when the insurgents
attacked, and that they expected the President, his wife and supporters would
be killed.
Later that night, the U.S. Depute
Charge de Mission (DCM) in Haiti, Luis Moreno, accompanied by a contingent of
U.S. Marines, met with the President.
Moreno told him that only if he left at that moment, the U.S. would provide aircraft for him to
leave, but that assistance was contingent on the President providing the United
States with a letter of resignation…
In the early morning hours of
February 29, the President and some family members were taken by Moreno and the
Marines to an airplane rented by the U.S. State Department. Moreno
told the President that he must give Moreno a letter of resignation and agree
to ask no questions about where he would be taken, or the President and his
wife would be left at the airport and they would be killed.
Under extreme duress, President Aristide signed a letter of resignation
and boarded the plane. During the
flight, despite their repeated requests, the President and his wife were
forbidden from communicating with anyone in the outside world…
Although both George W. Bush and
Colin Powell had said they would not send U.S. troops to Haiti until there was
a political solution, U.S. troops were
ordered to Haiti within one hour of President Aristide’s departure. Dick Cheney denied that the United States
arrested or forcibly ousted President Aristide, saying that President Aristide,
who had “worn out his welcome with the Haitian people,” had “left of his own
free will.”
Shortly after President Aristide’s “resignation,” Boniface Alexandre
was named acting president of Haiti.
All 3,000 people held in the National Penitentiary were freed on March
14, according to the Associated Press.
Several of these prisoners had been convicted of massive human rights
violations, or were awaiting trial for massive human rights violations. The UN news wire reported on March 5, that in
Fort Liberte, recently released prisoners were said to be in charge of security…
The Observer reported a security
vacuum throughout the country, and the BBC reported that rioters in Port-au-Prince looted stores, ransacked police stations, and
set fire to gas stations. There have
been many brutal reprisal attacks on political opponents, extra-judicial
arrests and killings, lack of effective civil authority, and disruption of
humanitarian aid efforts. Serious human
rights abuses, political violence, and social turbulence have escalated to the level of a humanitarian
crisis.
There has been a serious attack on
the freedom of the press since February 29.
Staff from the Aristide government media continue to be attacked and
beaten, some journalists have been forced into exile, and the U.S.-supported opposition now controls most of the airwaves.
And that my friends is how Haiti became a “shit hole.” George H.W. Bush removed the democratically elected
Aristide in 1991 but he was reinstated under President Clinton. During Clinton’s Administration Haiti and
America were peaceful prosperous places.
Once Bush Jr. was installed, Aristide was removed and Haiti and America
were turned into “shit holes” once again.
All shit holes across the world have been victims of the Central
Banks. From Lew Rockwell:
Excerpt:
As Sisyphus Fails Gold Will Ascend
Welcome to 2018 – a year that will
be the culmination of at least 105 years
of mismanagement of the Western financial system by governments, central
bankers and the elite…
The year will also be marked by inflation increasing a lot faster than
expected. This will include higher interest rates, much higher commodity
prices, like food and oil as well as a falling dollar…
For a century, a reckless elite has controlled the system for their own
personal gain and thus accumulated massive wealth. Ordinary people have
been totally cheated into believing that they have benefitted by having all the
material things that most of them can’t afford – be it a house, car, computer
or iPhone. All on credit of course.
Whilst the elite owns most of the assets, ordinary people own the debt.
Not just their own debt but also the public debt burden which irresponsible
governments have built up including unfunded liabilities like pension and
medical care. And when the financial system fails, ordinary people will suffer
the most.
We have seen a century of debt buildup from virtually zero to $240
trillion. Global debt has doubled since the beginning of the Great
Financial Crisis in 2006. This has led to asset bubbles and overvaluations
never seen before in history. If unfunded liabilities and derivatives are
included, the total burden amounts to $2 Quadrillion.
That is the enormous Sisyphean task
that the world will have to struggle with in coming years. Although central banks and the elite seem clueless, they can
clearly not be unaware of the gigantic size of the problem.
We know that these liabilities can
never be settled. What happened in 2006-9 was only a rehearsal. In the last
minute central banks orchestrated a massive rescue programme which included
interest rate reduction, money printing, guarantees, liquidity injections plus
allowing banks to value toxic debt at maturity instead of market. These measures temporarily postponed the
inevitable collapse. They are unlikely to work next time but since the
central banks have few other options left, they will try the same things again.
But this next time they will fail…
Through manipulation they can
easily create unlimited cryptos and hype the value. They can also electronically
totally control individuals’ money and their transactions. This is the perfect Big Brother system and thus another frightening
attempt to severely limit the money and freedom of individuals. It is now very likely that Western
governments will attempt to introduce such a cryptocurrency system in the next
few years.
But there will be many obstacles since it is extremely unlikely that
countries like Russia and China will accept a US, EU or UK cryptocurrency. These
countries understand that all the new
fake cryptocurrencies would be just as worthless as the currencies they would
replace. China and Russia have a very different plan. They will introduce a
gold and oil backed (crypto)currency which will be far superior to any new
money that the West would produce. With
this currency, China and Russia will become the dominant economic powers as
the West declines into obscurity.
These major changes in economic
trends clearly don’t happen quickly but over an extended period. Nevertheless, 2018 is likely to be a significant year,
marking the beginning of the end of the latest, but certainly not last, corrupt
financial system which has lasted 105 years.
Donald Trump calling Haiti and African nations “shit holes” wasn’t
a racist slur but a recognition of the inevitable outcome of a financial system
created by Central Banks to strip every nation of their wealth and enslave
their people. All countries across the
globe dominated by Central banks have become “shit holes” by design. On Christmas Eve 1913 Woodrow Wilson signed
into law the illegal Federal Reserve Act dooming America and everyone they came
in contact with to “shit hole” status.
That is just a fact that President Trump was acknowledging.
As Thomas Jefferson said "If
the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations
that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until
their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... Wake up people, the central banks have turned
the planet into a giant “shit hole” and that’s a fact.
