    Monopoly Men (Federal Reserve Fraud) Must see Video!!!
    The Federal Reserve, or the Fed as it is lovingly called, may be one of the most mysterious entities in modern American government. Created during Wilson’s presidency to protect the economy in times of financial turmoil, its real business remains to be discovered. During the Wilson presidency, the U.S. government sanctions the creation of the Federal Reserve. Thought by many to be a government organization maintained to provide (…)

    Behind the debate over remaking U.S. financial policy will be a debate over who’s to blame. It’s crucial to get the history right, writes a Nobel-laureate economist, identifying five key mistakes—under Reagan, Clinton, and Bush II—and one national delusion.
    There will come a moment when the most urgent threats posed by the credit crisis have eased and the larger task before us will be to chart (…)

    By Ed Kinane
    "Dear Senator Obama:

    If you do grasp Middle Eastern realities, your choices of advisors and cabinet members suggest that you are aligning yourself (…)

    O.J. Simpson, the “Juice,” had it all: the life of the “rich and famous” in LaLaLand. He had a sterling career in college football as a star halfback at the U. of Southern California. That was followed by even more success as an NFL “All Pro” halfback, mostly with the Buffalo Bills. He made his mark, too, in Hollywood as an actor: he served as a pitch man for (…)
