Reply #86: The Fed is, always has been, since its inception [View All]

[ooglymoogly]

and always will be, until its eventual demise, the elephant in the room. That elephant has produced offspring that are now crowding out all else in the room. These offspring protect the mother elephant. They control all the arms of government to fit the machinations of the Fed and its shadows; From these machinations, we now have a government and its last resort check and balance, The Supreme Court made up by a majority of out and out mafia style crooks. A manipulating force like the Fed is anathema to a workable capitalism and certainly to democracy. An ability by a powerful few, to chose winners (themselves) and losers (that would be us) in our country will be its demise, which they do not give a flying f*ck about. The manipulated violent swings in our economy (to our profound detriment) redound solely to those chosen by the Fed, to be these winners and alas they are always the same few, themselves. Guarded capitalism and socialism working together (yin and yang) is the only form of government that has proven to work and work to the benefit of all; Once anyone gains monopoly, workable capitalism ceases to exist and it loses its necessary and vital partner, socialism. No one must ever gain the power to manipulate governments and markets, (monopolize) to another's detriment and destroy the very idea of a workable capitalism in its tracks. This, this thing propagandized as capitalism is not capitalism. It is the criminalized, deformed, soulless, bastard child of unregulated capitalism; Oligarchy, despotism, theft on steroids, mafiaism, call it what you will; Unchecked this form of lawless "government", or more precisely, mastery over government and its constitution, can only end in master slave fascism and we are just about there.
