Re: what''s happening behind the scenes The bankers are finally showing their true colors and the color is red. This post and others like it is something we must keep in the forefront of our minds as our financial future will affected.
Sharks eat piranha, but a school of piranha can take down a shark. These after hours/weekend "deals from the boiler rooms of banking world" might be the death of us all. Of course that does not include their latest "savior" to the rescue, the mighty father of America's financial world, lovingly known as 'The Fed'. All others below them are of doubtful agendas and reputations, some are outright dishonest, but the 'honest Abe' Fed, with their 'open window to all policy' have 'clean hands', even thought this private group of bankers [they are not a government agency] have never had an audit done and are accountable to anybody, are supposed to be the vehicle that will 'save' us all from certain financial destruction through the instrument known as borrowing. [All power always corrupts]. Incidentally, Honest Abe Lincoln for the most part got rid of the bankers after the civil war and issued the greenbacks, so we could pay the debt we incurred in that tragic war to ourselves without the "help of the bankers". Oh yes, they did creep and crawl back in but for a while it worked, but then again, honest Abe was killed. Who knows who really was behind that [I know what history says] and who knows if good old Abe could have kept the money changers from getting their claws into us for a while longer.
This is not meant to be a religious commercial, per se, though I do strongly embrace the Christian faith, and I do know who the real reason for the season is, but if I recall correctly, wasn't it Jesus that drove the money changers out of the temple? We will always be vunerable to these enslaving money crubbers because we too always want more and they are always all to willing to 'help us out'. No, the Fed is not my Savior/Shepherd at all, though like most people, I too as a dumb sheep am vunerable to and have and have fallen prey the effects of their 'offers to help'. We may not be able to live without them but still we must keep alert to our surroundings and to the 'signs of the times'.
Have a Blessed Easter folks,
