2. Absolute War.
Fri Jan 3, 2014, 11:23 AM
Jan 2014

Goes back a ways, as the people who tried to overthrow FDR in 1933 had kids and they are the ones* screwing America now.

What's different today, is we don't have Smedley Butler or FDR to stop them.



Baron de Rothschild and Prescott Bush, share a moment and some information, back in the day.

* Of course, it's not just a few rich families's offspring who screw the majority today. They've hired help and built up the giant noise machine to continue their work overthrowing the progress FDR and the New Deal brought America for 80 years.

Why would the nation and world's richest people do that? Progress costs money. And they don't want to pay for it, even when they've gained seven times more wealth than all of history put together. Instead, whey continue to work -- quasi-legally, through government and lobbyists -- to amass even more, transferring the wealth of the many to themselves.

And instead of an armed mob led by a war hero on a white horse, their weapon is "Supply Side Economics." To most Americans over the past 33 years, that means getting trickled down upon.
