The Blacksmith

The Medieval vampire Blacksmith worked into the night Printing counterfeit money. Blacksmith, only one with metal safe To hold in storage town people's gold. The people gave him their gold Blacksmith gave paper promise Hence the birth of banking and paper currency... Blacksmith soon found that he could print extra for himself, spend and buy at will ! No one will notice ! I'm rich ! Eventually, people noticed twice as much money to buy same pair of shoes ! They scratched their heads, wanted their gold ! The Blacksmith couldn't redeem certificates into gold, printed way too many for himself, so he fled. Vampire Blacksmith, alive in 2017, owns the banks, mass media and schools, brainwashed slaves satisfy his endless thirst. Trillions of dollars in interest every year on money created out of thin air ! Biggest ripoff in human history under own nose ! All IRS money pays interest to smiling fanged Blacksmith. A foreclosed home ? We see his fangs again ! Blacksmith needs prison time ! Violating U.S.Constituion law, mandates Gold ! Until the people wake up, the Blacksmith works late into the night, creating counterfeit money. Retirement worth half what it was, the Vampire laughs at American people gullibility while drinking their blood January 1, 2017

Once the gold standard was abandoned in the early 20th Century then it gave the bankers the green light to begin what you rightly call "The biggest rip off in human history"! Ezra pound (One of the greatest poets, and an American himself, of all time) wrote an unfinished poem called the "Cantos". Its central theme concentrates on "Usury". I suggest you research both the word and then the poem...You will be be shocked to find this was all foreseen long ago! My best regards, Bruce. :) john
