Zeitgeist ( Part One )

Zeitgeist “ It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society ” J. Krishnamurti 1% of the world’s population owns 40% of the planets wealth 34000 children die everyday from poverty and preventable diseases 50% of the world’s population lives on less than $2.00 a day Only 3% of the U.S.A’s wealth actually exists as money the other 97% is digital $1.00 in 1913 required $21.60 in 2007 to match its value; that is a 96% devaluation in 94 years since the Federal reserve came into existence “ If there were no debts in our money system there wouldn’t be any money ” Marriner Eccles Governor of The Federal Reserve 1941 Perpetual debt is guaranteed by the Federal Bank Money was created in the Banking system and ultimately returns to the Banking system with interest. Who are you working for, none other than The Banks. This is Economic slavery. What life is there without money, when everyone must feed and house and care for themselves we become wage slaves. Money is the most ingenious scam for social manipulation ever created. The majority of people in the United States have no idea that they are living off the benefits of a clandestine empire; that today there is more slavery in the world than ever before. The un-elected leaders of this empire are the giant corporations, the invisible powers behind the controlling force of money. Their goal is to maximise profits regardless of the social and environmental cost. The two largest of these corporations are, The International Monetary Fund and The World Bank. Poor countries who’s governments have initially welcomed the help of these corporations are now paying back debts that exceed 50% of their countries wealth. Leading to mass poverty in these countries. There are 51 giant corporations in the world 47 of which are American. Something is very wrong here

I agree so far..but I would ask..."And we should do what?"...My answer would be barter, live within our means and needs, share...You would have folks do? Light & Love

The statistics are enough to make me cringe. You used your research skills very well to make your point here, Colin. Surely there is something wrong with the picture you paint. Love, Carolyn
