The Bankers Manifesto of 1892

(Revealed by US Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. from Minnesota before the US Congress sometime during his term of office between the years of 1907 and 1917 to warn the citizens.)

We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion [that would be us]. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance [that would be SOON]. The Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.

At the coming Omaha Convention to be held July 4th (1892), our men must attend and direct its movement, or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination (conspiracy) and legislation.

The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.

When through the process of the law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders.

History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world [that would be SENIOR politicians]. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.

The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.

By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete action, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.

Damning, but nevertheless it’s a forgery, even though it might as well have been genuine, and it certainly doesn’t seem alien to the financial powers that be to do such things.

 

2013 Spring News Snippets

“Those of you who has followed the TPB case remember that the whole case started with Hollywood getting the White House to threaten Sweden with trade sanctions if they did not stop TPB. During this period the swedish minstry of justice went to the White House and had lots of discussions about TPB. The minsiter of justice, Thomas Bodström, was being investigated for this affair. He put a “top secret” label on 747 documents which we still have not been able to read, about the discussions going back and forth between the US and Sweden. The minstry told the prosecutor in the TPB case what the US had threatened with, and not long after the prosecutor sent out a memo to the minstry saying that TPB did nothing illegal, there was the raid against TPB. The effect was obvious.

What had been decided and said between US and Sweden is still top secret. Except for; you guessed it, Helena Jäderblom. She was working for the ministry of justice during this period – as what’s called “departementsråd”, i.e. the top civil person in the minstry, directly under the minister!”

2013January news snippets

(from 5th of January, 2013:)

They call it recovery: “During fiscal year 2012, the U.S. government spent a record $80.4 billion on food stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a $2.7 billion increase from FY 2011.”

Revolving door policy: “In July 2012, an FBI probe found that Bank of America had allowed a Mexican drug cartel to launder money through the bank. While BofA has yet to face any fines for the episode, the head of the FBI in Charlotte, N.C., BofA’s headquarters, recently left the law enforcement agency for a job at Bank of America.”

US Government backed a False Flag atack on Syria to blame Assad: “Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could be blamed on Assad’s regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country. A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence where a scheme ‘approved by Washington’ is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons.”

The environmental cost – and cost to the health of the populace – from severe pollution in a China undergoing heavy industrialization is becoming evident:

No country in history has become a major industrial power without creating a legacy of environmental damage. China is clearly not an exception. The speed and scale of China’s rise has brought an unprecedented pollution problem. Public health is reeling. Pollution has made cancer China’s leading cause of death according to the Ministry of Health. Ambient air pollution alone is blamed for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. The factories and spewing automobile engines recently caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled in and around Beijing. Stores are selling out of face masks and the government struggles to figure out this political challenge and provide relief of the long-term burden on its people. — Paula Nelson ( 47 photos total)

Cynicism Redefined: Why The Copyright Lobby Loves Child Porn

“Child pornography is great,” the man said enthusiastically. “Politicians do not understand file sharing, but they understand child pornography, and they want to filter that to score points with the public. Once we get them to filter child pornography, we can get them to extend the block to file sharing.”
