I've some thoughts to share on this.
Depressions and recessions didn't exist till there was portable wealth. Droughts existed before portable wealth, but no financial depressions existed before hand. The USA in it's initial couple of decades went through a depression much greater then the one called the Great Depression. The USA had 3 more depressions before the Great Depression, the third one happening after the US Government had to pay off the contracts the corporations and big businesses had made to hire people to fight for the Northern Army in the Civil War. 80% of that army was essentially 'bounty hunters' who had contracts with the Companies, who had a contract with Lincoln, who had initially said he couldn't wage war with the South, the Country was broke, and now even broker since those who had the resources that the government had lived on the import export taxes of, had just succeeded from the Union. The Companies refused to pay off their bills. Lincoln had legislation in his desk, that would have had the government take over the corporations that refused to pay up, it was in his desk 2 days before he was shot by the nephew of a business man who had said on the passage of that bill, that he'd lose everything. The Politicians knew, should the citizenry go up in arms, it was the Politicians head who would roll, not the financiers of what the politicians sold We The People, for those few Industrialists/Carpet Baggers profits. Congress then illegally made a series of illegal legislation/laws, which we live with today. One resulted in the Federal Reserve and the IRS, neither of which are government agencies, they are controlled by the International Bankers, the Rothschild's name has been associated with not only them, but every depression/recession the USA has ever been through, and the Rothschild family is one of the founders of the international private banking system. Don't forget this 'international banking system', as through out history as every democracy went under, it was due to private financiers, who created their own money while controlling supply and demand. Greece, in it's golden age, traded goods, for goods, but the Merchants, who had outposts all over the place, convinced the Greek City states to not only combine under a single government, but to accept metal as having more value then the labors that created their exports, and portable wealth as in coined money started in Greece, and it was the beginning of the end. Greek Government was then convinced that the only way to keep income flowing in (since merchants controlled the value of imports as well as the exports) that they had to have military to defend these merchant outposts. Read enough history and you'll find that this change in less then a decade made the Greek merchants in the Western Mediterranean move from welcome traders to dangerous robbers. Only history controlled by portable wealth merchants omits this kind of stuff. By this time, the value of the money was based on slavery, as the value of goods to be sold elsewhere was so low, you couldn't pay people to do the work and have a profit. The Greek citizens had enough, they went from the richest to indebted to the merchants, and broke their hold, killed a few politicians, but basically didn't do a thing as the merchants and money lenders packed up their wealth and goods and moved to....... the Italic Peninsula where they started in on some broke kingdom, possibly busted due to dealing with the Greeks, who were by this point, pretty universally hated. Rome, as a city state, was made to believe, that Greece, to regain it's glory, was going to invade and take their riches, and a fist strike was better, and what better way to take revenge on those who had impoverished them! They swept down on Greece with a vengeance, while immediately adopting the portable wealth system, backed by slavery as the value system, superseding honest labor. By the time of Pompey and the Julius Cesar, the Roman were a well trained FEAR Society, as 'the Barbarians' might come loot them again (which had happened only after 2 of Romes sons had stated they were observers, then assassinated a Celtic Chieftain, stole his armor, and the Roman Law refused to uphold their law on 'the rich', so the Celts invaded the Rome city State.) In 1740, Bilderberg swore he'd destroy every monarchy in Europe, by contorting the availability of goods, and then controlling the value of them. He and his 4 International business partners made that happen within 60 years, though Bilderberg never lived to see how well he'd screwed the world, for a few dollars more. Bilderberg's financial partner was the smart, small upstart independent bank, owned by a Mr Rothschild, who was the most powerful family in the world less then 60 years later. Keep in mind, in the last 200 years the Rothschild's have had stiff competition as to who will financially own the world, and they all use the same rule book, you and are the the expendable playing pieces. A message for the Greeks. They fooled you once, shame on you, they fooled you twice..... doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is insanity.... and anyone that doesn't know the real history of their country is nothing but prey for those that have created and control your history. A message for the Americans, and other nations. Don't wag your fingers at the Greeks, your next if your not there already. So whose up for lynching politicians, instead of those they work for? Sounds like more of 'doing the same thing, expecting different results', to me. I personally am tired of getting rid of one politician just to get a worse replacement. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, is insanity. It's time to defund, those who have bought and paid for our politicians and government system. We have less then 1/3rd in Congress and the Senate who represent We The People and or even attempt to defend our Constitution from all comers, whether foreign or domestic. Watch voting records, and better yet, shop locally, while thinking globally. They may own the electronic machines, as only a Corporate Worker can tell the polling officials who voted for whom..... but at some point this phrase will fail them "It's not who votes that counts, it who counts the votes". But it is essential you know who your funding, as most consumers are funding with their daily purchases of food clothing and more, the same people they are complaining are making their lives worse. If you can't find out who the parent company is, by the other fellas offering.
