Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild

"I care not what puppet is placed on
the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...
The man that controls Britain's money
supply controls the British Empire.
And I control the money supply."

in the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard. Alan Greenspan

For the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Carroll Quigley

Hey PP i have lots more if you need

Thats BS ,In America we can talk about natives ,blacks, hispanics,Christians,Muslims but heaven forbid you call someone who is Jewish out on his political or religious belief the discussion is over. What makes you so special that you feel your religious background being Jewish is any different than Muslim Or Christian or any other denomination that is freely discussed on this forum or in public. This question baffles me??

Well, there was the little business of the genocide not so long ago.

You can freely discuss whatever you want, but the moment you tell me that something I say is a function of some imagined Jewish/Israeli conspiracy then I have nothing more to say to you other than you should grow up.

I agree about Paul Ryan not attracting too many Independents but I can't think of a candidate that will help him with that. I still think the likely VP selection is someone that has not be mentioned or talked about.

I think this might be an issue for some voters. I dunno. We haven't had a significantly overweight president since the age of optics. Clinton had a pudgy era, and got a lot of grief for it (some of it good-natured; I still recall the SNL skit of him taking a side trip from a secret service jog into a McDonald's where he stole french fries from children and waxed racial politics with the patrons).

Is morbid obesity any more or less of a health risk than being a smoker? That is, would you also object to a smoker veep or prez on the same grounds?

RH dragged out some tired, old, old-time anti-Jewish crap, was called on it and then tried to justify it. You applauded his justification statement.

That is what.

Ah yes the great genocide, many cultures throughout history suffered the same fate ,for instance i bet not to many here know that far more Yugoslavs were killed by the Nazis during world war 2 than US, French and United kingdom combined for a total of 1.7 million But i am sure Yugoslavs don't need to bring up their holocaust when you discuss US politics or American foreign policy. Many cutures and religions suffered similar fate. Native indians were massacred by the millions on and on. So again i ask you with all due respect why are you so special compared to any one else. I with all honesty have no problems with whomever you are whether your black ,white, hispanic, Jew ,Muslim or Christian my problem is when lobbies in Washington influence our foreign policy not for the good of America but for their self serving interests. And yes i am not ashamed to say that includes AIPAC and Wall Street bankers. You can and should be proud of your heritage just as i am of mine but first and foremost your allegiance is to the constitution and whats best for the US OF A and its citizens Not your former country or religion. If that's not the case than excuse me for pointing it out .

Back to the evil Bankers

A Venn diagram released by Harvard law professor and political activist Larry Lessig reveals the shocking connections between our government and banking and investment giant Goldman Sachs.
Click for full image.
Goldman Sachs was a major contributor to (and beneficiary of) the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis that helped initiate the current depression. The bank then proceeded to heavily avail itself of bailout payments and other monetary assistance from the federal government.
In 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it had deceived investors about the nature of one of its products, costing them a total of $1 billion.
Goldman Sachs was defended in the lawsuit by its longtime legal firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP. One of its advisors on defense strategy was a partner in the firm by the name of Gregory Craig, who had left his job as White House Counsel only months before. When observers raised ethical concerns, some of them pointing out that the Obama Administration prohibits its former members from lobbying it for at least two years, Craig responded by saying, “I am a lawyer, not a lobbyist.”
Craig is a classic example of the “revolving door” in this country between industry and government. He has moved back and forth over the years between government positions — he served as foreign policy advisor to both Senator Edward Kennedy and to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright — and legal work, often taking on major corporate clients like Goldman Sachs.
Another striking example is Robert Rubin, who spent 26 years at Goldman Sachs, eventually becoming Co-Chief Operating Officer (COO), Co-Chairman, and a member of the Board. Months after leaving Goldman Sachs, he took a position as President Clinton’s Assistant for Economic Policy and head of the National Economic Council. Two years later, Clinton appointed him Secretary of the Treasury, a position he filled for another four and a half years. After leaving the Treasury Department, Rubin immediately returned to the financial sector and took a position with the mega bank Citigroup.
Is it any surprise that U.S. economic policy continues to benefit big banks to the detriment of everyday people?
Representing the Corporations

The case of Gary Gensler is instructive in understanding the constant conflict-of-interest produced when people move continually between industry and government. Gensler worked at Goldman Sachs for 18 years, achieved partner by the age of 30, and was eventually appointed co-head of finance for the entire company. He served first as Assistant Secretary of Financial Markets and later as Undersecretary of the Treasury for the Clinton Administration. In 2009, President Obama nominated him as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont opposed Gensler’s appointment, noting that Gensler had collaborated “with Senator Phil Gramm and Alan Greenspan to exempt credit default swaps from regulation, [leading] to the collapse of AIG and … the largest taxpayer bailout in U.S. history.” Sanders also said that Gensler had been partially responsible for the Enron collapse and had supported the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which led to U.S. banks becoming “too big to fail.”
In spite of Sanders’ objections, Gensler was appointed to the post, and already his Goldman Sachs conflicts-of-interest have become too obvious to gloss over. In November 2011, he was forced to recuse himself from an investigation of brokerage firm MF Global because the company’s CEO, Jon Corzine, had been a co-worker of his at Goldman Sachs.
Jon Corzine is also a former senator and governor of New Jersey.
