Who are the 1% IN AMERICA....???? I think we're looking to close to home, to much of a symptom, and not for the actual WHO's that are behind the symptoms listed in this article.
Few important things are missing. One is, who loans money only to Governments? Who is it that insures Governments and their wars? Starting with that we now have to look at the IMF, but even more closely is Lloyd's of London, the Bank of England and the Bank of Scotland. Those two banks do not make loans to PEOPLE. Rockefeller's....... and a few others whose Multi Century long FAMILY Enterprises, are always associated with International Banking, aren't on this list either. As has been stated many times elsewhere over the last couple of score of years, Banks make 10 times more money in times of strife, for High Risk War Loans, then they do in the best times of Economic Prosperity. Peace, simply, is not good business. Hence Peace Protestors, protesting war, are always met with violence. The final thought here is that, those on the list provided, all can in some form or another, be boycotted. Those that are International Bankers and Property dealers in stature, work with those you thought were suppose to represent you, and you have no choice in boycotting them as YOUR REPRESENTATIVE gives them YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS, and of course, Personal Income Tax is still on the books as a temporary war time tax, 100 years ago you an I didn't pay personal income tax, those who have 'an office' in the USA can now export and import tax/duty free pretty much, which is where the whole income for our Government USE TO COME FROM.
