Related: About this forumDoes the Fed manufacturing crises?
This chart not only shows the role of the Fed in the latest big financial crisis but also that the Fed has taken full control of the US state through an unprecedented debt share.http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/11/us-debt-held-by-fed-further-interesting.html

Does the Fed manufacturing crises? (Original Post)

(85,373 posts)1. I'm not sure that's English, but
The Fed Reserve is trying to maintain the status quo: all for the 1%, nothing for the trash under their feet (us, the 99%).
The fact that this is the path to the guillotine doesn't seem to disturb them in the slightest, BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME, OF COURSE!
After all, we have the NSA, CIA, all those alphabet agencies, working for us, and the military is bogged down in foreign wars for our benefit, including the National Guard, so we can bring in mercenaries if the plebes get restless, and mow them down. We've got FEMA camps for the dissidents, we've stolen everything that isn't nailed down, including the jobs and shipped it all overseas out of harm's way. Yep. we've got this.
And thus we see the stupidity, corruption, greed, and all the other Sins played out for us, once again, in a nation that tried from the beginning to overcome these temptations, but failed rather spectacularly because it needed the resources of the Obscenely Wealthy, and was too timid (and incestuous) to kill them off and just take them.
