Do you trust the Global banking system?

Do you trust the Global Banking / Financial system? The global banks are responsible for most bankruptency of people / biz / nations. Global Banks over borrowed to people / biz / nations in turn these become SLAVES to the Banking system. And if you haven't realise it - all of this is "part of a GLOBAL MASTER PLAN". Is the current financial system sustainable? NO NO NO!

Bank policy is a proxy for government policy. So look to the venal, corrupt politicians for an object to vilify. Their policies are (a) self-serving and (b) the genius of the uneducated masses. Socialist policy that relies on capitalist institutions to feed it. This cannot be sustainable. The mind-bending idiosnyncracies inherent to this new dispensation are, I think, what gives rise to all of this conspiracy theory. Nobody can believe that things can be as they are unless there is some specific party benefiting from it. Well, banks, left to their own devices, are just good old greedy capiltalists. Nothing more nothing less. As a breed, they aren't doing this - they are being rocked by events.

Its all about "CONTROL" - you want a clue - who controls the FED? Debt = modern slavery (just asks the Greek/portuguese/americans/south africans etc)

The banks don't want control - they want profit. Why would they want to enslave you? Sure - between them the various financial institutions want you to sign a life policy, an insurance policy, borrow (AND pay it back.) In short, to work for them. BUT ask yourself this - who designed a tax system that encourages the channeling of money into these various instruments to benefit from putative tax breaks etc. - why it's your friendly government. Governments ARE there to control people! It's their function. (John Locke arguments aside for the moment.) Don't be mistaken - there is no love lost between me and the banks. I just feel that the governments of the world are now using them as a scapegoat for their own failed policies. You could just as easily hate the oil companies, the mega global trading comapanies (DREYFUSS, GLENCORE etc.) They are also hurting us. BUT the only conspiracy is capitalism AND if you look at the shining examples set by the communists and the socialists it seems to me that it's the best conspiracy to fall prey to.

But that would drive up the price of salt... and that would play into GLENCORE's hands. No they would make us row supertankers around in circles, exploring the oceans of the world for deep-sea oil fields.

Greece is just fine, thank you. They have had a 15odd year all expenses paid sabbatical. Here is an example of how the borrower has the power. She has no intention of actually paying this money back. Never did. Greece was too clever for her northern neighbours. She has no plan. She never had a plan. She was offered a free meal and she partook with voracious appetite.

That was back in the days when a debtor was enslaves or put to death or fed molten lead or some such. Nowadays he simply slips behind the CPA and it's all good. The EURO bible would, I suggest read something like this "Borrow BIG and ye shall enslave your creditor. Go forth and decimate the lender, cast him out from the house of solvency."
