top of the heap to third world status in one generation

[Klompen]

The Rothschilds,
Lehman Brothers,
Goldman Sacs,
Lazards,
Kuhn Loebs,
Warburgs,
Israel Moses Seifs,
Stephen S. Roach (owned Morgan Stanley),
Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, Alan Greenspan (Chairmen of the Federal Reserve),
Salomon Brothers (owned Citigroup),
and finally Moses & his son Robert Shapiro (chairmen of Monsanto)

*How much real power do all of the above have? - and what do they all have in common?

All of them are involved in usury banking and are Zionists, and all of them are wealthy. They're also all Ashkenazi Jews. Notice that not a single one of them is a Mizrahaim Jew, nor do any of them come from working-class Jewish families. Look up what they did to their fellow Jews with the Haavara Agreement. These guys come from a class of Jewish ancestors that were so obsessed with getting what they wanted that they threw millions of their fellow Jews to the wolves.

Whats important to note though is that every racial group seems to have this sort of problem. I strongly recommend you go to YouTube and check out James Corbett's(Corbett Report) 3-part series on the conspiracy to cause WW1. It shows just how scheming and sinister totally non-Jewish white Europeans can be. He does a really excellent job compiling a very shady issue into a very easy to understand package. The series is called "The WW1 Conspiracy" and it should be required viewing for everyone worldwide.

Each and every major war of the past century was 'sold' to us.

[Gypsy Nirvana]

BINGO!

You got it right Klompen - the Zionist Aristocracy
- and yes I have been watching many of these Corbett Reports lately - including the series on WW1 - and they are what you would call 'Eye-Openers' -

Of course we have our own monarchy/aristocracy in the UK/Europe - and many of their war-crimes have been covered up over the years.

After the WW2, and the huge successes of the German Department of Propaganda, the US government called on Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, to create a US version. Bernays didn't like the word "Propaganda" because it had a negative connotation. He renamed it "Public Relations". That's why he's known as the father of Public Relations.

You know usury is forbidden in Islam ?
Claiming interest on loans that creates hardship is a no no .

Another reason the 1% don`t like Muslims .

[Mengsk]

I have to re-read a lot of the thread. I am speaking whole heartedly and with sincerity in saying that I believe in equality for human beings. My early childhood experience was not filled with the same genetic makeup or all the same colour or country. Black, white, Jewish, Christian, Asian, Buddhist, and so on. My respect for people and humanity are equal, even, evenly distributed. Culturally I respect and appreciate everyone as much as possible.

If a group is known for something good or bad it doesn't mean each person in or representative of that group shares the same views. With all of that said we can see a pattern of wealth and power concentration in the United States. My views try to remain objective as possible, in other words I have no religious preference or slant. Our political leaders have supported Israel and there is most certainly a concentration of wealth among Jewish and other groups. You can pretty clearly identify, delineate, which cultural and ethic groups have disproportionately larger income and wealth in our country.

There is also a connection with the current white house administration and the US history of institutional racism and slavery. This can be debated by people but it is only factual accounts that the southern US is known for fighting with northern states when slaves were kept in our society. As far as I understand we do not have a complete trace of all the money and financial accounting, including whichever records may have been destroyed, from plantations companies and all developments coming from slavery. I understand this sounds off topic but I don't ever remember seeing a documentary or 60 minutes episode on how much of the cotton industry exists because of slave labour therefore who does the industry actually belong to and the money etc.

The same holds true for sugar cane, bananas, tobacco, many others which could encompass most production prior to industrial fossil fuel ag machines. This is not a political argument to me. A person who derived profits from slavery may not be inclined to volunteer that information. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but there has been no reconciliation or restitution with either Native Americans or black population African Americans. Incarceration and racial profiling are social problems. Addressing the ugly past of the United States in an open honest dialogue is a necessary step for the evolution of our country and people.

It is ironic in a sense where our leader should face a moral jury like war crimes court or judgment before a higher power. The US does not give an example of legal morality with the lack of integrity displayed on reality television. What I mean, and I'm being crude and petty here, is the kind of bickering and entire theme of the apprentice television show is trashy for lack of a better term in my opinion. A waste of time, not interesting or not beneficial to watch people get yelled at over not making money. And the same person has also been recorded making lewd gestures toward women. Where I am not certain if they view televising recorded lewd gestures as a moral attack or an advertisement or threat of behaviour.

This kind of behaviour is unacceptable in a personal sense to me. People pretend like business and personal life can be separated however I an unable to support a morally disgusting human being. We also have violent and aggressive on top of morally disgusting otherwise. The bar is too low to be silly enough to think of the US as a first world nation or super power or example that anyone should be proud to follow. In fact we have a second rate situation where a failed comic book villain or crooked businessman is arrogantly waving flags with his name and repeating his perceived success to the most loyal base despite problems and turmoil in each direction. Where there has been no resolution of corruption or international collusion or interfering or plain old criminal acts committed by many most a majority of political leadership.

It will logically be an argument but one view is that an empire built on slavery however far removed is worth nothing. In my perspective I do not mean on a national or international scale the empire is worthless. I mean the assignment of value wealth and power with financial records and paperwork within our country and social system is worthless - if the untold story is that wealthy corporations are inherited on the backs of slaves then another individual's fortune does not belong to them which means my debt or bank account number also does not belong to me. The same slave empire from decades ago is attempting to use its own legal paperwork to drive a new generation of slaves. My response is along the lines of an un-evidenced claim that some big company and CEO actually inherited their wealth from slave owners and the money does not justly belong to them.

If this precedent were to take place (prove slave money existence and divorce that money from slave owner descendants pending prosecution or punishment) I can imagine some of the financial institutions may crumble from the top down. That's the whole thing about a collapse or a bubble the ones benefiting are going to deny and try to avoid the collapse or reckoning by all means. The argument boils down to legal documents not being worth the paper they are printed on and even questions the integrity or validity of the constitution. IRS credit unions reporting agencies financial loans, all truly based on a lie (if and/or only if you believe it that way).

This forum topic might only be in a microcosm or cannabis subject space but that is an example, a precedent if you will in cannabis. If the IRS is the feds and the ATF controls alcohol and guns and tobacco and is run by the government, then by very definition this group entity people have criminalized and fought against cannabis people among others by imprisoning them confiscating their property and assets and calling them criminals. Now people might think they can switch sides or turn over their badge and say hey I just follow the rules. Well no that doesn't hold up in the court of life. No legal robbers if I always thought it was illegal to rob someone then I still think it is illegal to rob someone, even if the law people now say it is ok and legal to rob people. No turncoats or two faced liars especially thugs who collect money or serve as muscle for higher ups.

I believe the primary reason was that the US simply wanted to see how a nuclear weapon performed in war-time.

Since the war was ending - or had ended - there was Mucho Pretense involved. "If we don't nuke these 100,000 civilians, something terrible will happen."

[Gypsy Nirvana]

There must have been pressures from many sides - and the will to show their new secret weapon to the world - and the abject human suffering a nuclear weapon can create - to create mass hysteria and fear of this form of destruction - up to this very day - and to justify it as good reason.

The Russians in Manchuria - looking like they might cross the Sea of Japan and lay conquest to the Japanese mainland, was probably an instrumental factor to - it was all about timing on the world stage.

In reality it became the unnecessary slaughter of hundreds of thousands of non-combatants - some say it saved American lives - so was justified - it comes down to your own perspective.

The Truth about British Royals.

*at least some of you guys are 'WOKE' around here, and have discerning minds that can see at least part of the bigger picture.

While I can't speak to the accuracy of some of that video; the royal family of England and also the Dutch royal family have a long history of being involved in shady business. Seeing the writing on the wall, the nobility of Europe moved to stealthier modes of control. Those who were good at it survived, while others got things like the guillotine.

Usury banking was actually quite nearly a "white" Christian business in Europe. The Knights Templar were the first financiers of Europe until the Pope got jealous and had them murdered(Mostly at Carcason). For a while after that, the church tried to function as a banking system, but frankly were really bad at it. It wasn't until about 300 years later that a handful of Jewish financiers built what would eventually lead to the widespread usury systems we suffer from today.

Jews weren't popular or powerful in Europe at that time though, and so they hardly were capable of controlling the purses of Europe all by themselves. The nobility of Europe saw a possible way to continue to control the commoners without appearing to still rule over them by Divine Right. More importantly, the Jews gave them a convenient scapegoat for this system should anyone question it(even though only a tiny portion of the entire Jewish population of Europe was involved at all).

By the time of the second World War, Hitler wrongly taught the people of Germany that all Jews were part of a conspiracy that wrecked Germany and left millions dead in the first World War. He was right that there was a conspiracy, but he was totally wrong about the nature of it and the exact players. It was a British conspiracy first and foremost, but it also involved "elites" in other parts of Europe. Among that aristocracy involved was the Jewish aristocracy, but most Jews were as excluded as most Europeans.

When the events of WW2 began to unfold, the Jewish aristocracy again conspired with the leaders of Europe to bring about their "promised land" mythology and to save their own families and assets while throwing their fellow Jews to the wolves. Likewise, European nobility largely set themselves up to escape the carnage while quite often directly supporting it. It was a bloodbath with suspiciously little of their blood involved. Its never really been a racial issue, but instead it has always been first and foremost an issue of elitism.

Just to be clear, Stalin did not say no to surrender in general. Stalin only refused the terms they were offering and they were not willing to accept his counter offer(total surrender). Russia took, and still has to this day, the Northernmost island of the Japanese island chain.

 

[Klompen]

I believe the primary reason was that the US simply wanted to see how a nuclear weapon performed in war-time.

Since the war was ending - or had ended - there was Mucho Pretense involved. "If we don't nuke these 100,000 civilians, something terrible will happen."

This is so absolutely true and its even documented fairly well. At one point, Oppenheimer and one of his fellow scientists were walking through Los Alamos base with one of their military guards and they were having a conversation about how just the mere idea of the bomb would be enough to end the war without even using it, and the guard turned to them and said "You don't really think they'll build a weapon like that and not use it do you?". Two of the smartest men in the world didn't even see the obvious fact that this soldier did.

As a child in school I was taught that they targeted military facilities with the atomic bombs, but that isn't true at all. The target at Hiroshima was the town square, miles away from the factories. Nagasaki was bombed in the worker's district. Both attacks left the factories almost completely untouched. The point was first and foremost to kill civilians for shock value to cause political change. These days we call that "terrorism"

 

[Mengsk]

This stuff is difficult to talk about. So you are saying the elite wealthy including both Christians and Jews have used war stories including the genocide of six million people (Jewish) as a kind of boogie man or excuse to indoctrinate the youth and the public. Any person or people who devise and use a bomb like that (nuclear bomb, weapon of mass destruction) can only be considered evil to the sane among us. It is only in the movies where you see a fictional scenario of - ok Mr. President you have to make a choice lose a thousand lives or a million which one is it you have to pick? In reality there is no reason to ever commit murder. If you feel your life of your loved one's life is in danger you can always escape or change the situation. Maybe self defence as a last resort. But this does not logically scale into war. I might have a feud with my neighbour or cousin or boss but there's no way I would personally warp that into a feud with a whole family or a whole state or country. Because I am not invested or concerned with any of the groups or innocent bystanders. This is 101 for how you indoctrinate soldiers and get them to lose their lives for you - convince them they are fighting for something (worthwhile).

This stuff is not comfortable to talk about anymore honestly. What I mean not comfortable anymore is, our country the US doesn't feel like a safe democracy in 2018 really in any sense of the word. Russia hires assassins on reporters (freedom of speech, terrorism, fear). Our president and our media colluded together with Russia to install a leader. Our leader uses hateful language and fear tactics. He does not seem like a positive helpful person he seems like a hateful spiteful greedy arrogant person. And our cultural climate here in the US now is not such a friendly one. I am not sure if I can discuss racial equality and social views in public the same way I would 10 or 20 years ago. Does having a raging racist president bring out the worst in people? Here on a web forum which I am grateful isn't censored we discuss all kinds of topics with relative anonymity. There is a difference between being paranoid (e.g. I am growing pot so maybe I should not post pictures from home) and being legitimately concerned. Maybe I'm not the only one, perhaps much of the public feels the same way.

I kind of feel like I'm watching a pendulum where the 1960s were liberal and progressive politically at the time and now it seems ruthless evil oligarchy where the guy pretty much looks to be the same as Kim Jong-un or Putin. I feel corrupt voting, no real election, therefore false government, and I'm not totally comfortable speaking out against this in public. Because I don't know if the south will rise again or some different kind of extremist will feel it is in their right to deny my free speech or attack me or worse. Not with me being the aggressor, I am just being honest that the US safety level does not feel 1 right now the US safety level is lower. Not sure where to throw this in but the US has always been against the middle east. Russia also fought in the middle east. Saudis are allies. How does this work in terms of fighting for oil (I think the killing has to do with natural resources and power and money not religion) I'm not entirely sure. If oil was relieved (solar power or fusion) would war stop or are these people (soldiers) living to kill one another at this point?

So many mistakes have been made I am afraid are not able to be recovered. I was only a child not yet finished with high school when we saw the 9/11 attacks. No I did not want to join a war at that time and I do not now. There has been war in the middle east for my entire life. 17+ years of fighting, and the death, loss of life, murder, war casualty of millions of civilians women men and children. If you are a bad guy then you will say good let's kill all of them. If you are a human being then you will say I want no parts of that and I'm truly sorry millions of people lost their lives. We cannot get those people back. And someone is responsible. Fighting when you have no choice is very different from bombing innocent civilians or fighting sticks and stones with tanks and body armour. My conscience and beliefs are with the victims. Murder as in war crime isn't on my conscience. But unfortunately for me I guess I do feel a responsibility or shared burden of reconciling what can be and cleaning up the monumental mess.

It is scary right, dealing with a murderous aggressive group the government with all its guns and what not. Pointing fingers at each other and simultaneously planning tactical moves on its own citizens to keep them at bay. Meaning the government doesn't view the public as enemies to blow up with a missile, the gov't views the public as an information enemy that needs to be divided and tricked and controlled so that they don't get to be a bigger colony bubble than the government with all its concentrated information power and weapons. Intelligence as in central intelligence as in all the tv and internet including facebook and your phone and radio etc. It is all used by concentrated power (media etc) to control you one way or another. The current president needs to be taken out with the trash which I can only imagine will require many many friends of his to be dumped also. That's the reality it isn't a vote, we have bullies at the post with a bat, club, rifle, nuclear bomb. Not saying that our streets look like Russia or Iraq, no not even close, but our government could well be selling us into a worse future. Our employment and infrastructure development is not on the rise all around the country. At least the way I perceive it. Instead we have a large sick and lazy aging population and a cultural sense of entitlement. The amount of drugs produced and consumed in the US, I wonder how that compares to the rest of the world. Meaning how much of the population is "medicated" or zonked out or zombies or drug addicts year after year? How does that compare to other countries, how does it affect happiness productivity and life span? If one country is used to farming bananas for $0.50 a day and one country is used to playing video games for 16 hours while your aunt collects her pension check, it is immediately obvious how these two groups will not easily be able to come to an agreement.

 

[Klompen]

I agree that lots of uncomfortable things are happening these days but I am 100% certain that the "Russiagate" plot to install Trump is entirely fiction. On the other hand, the Clinton plot to rig the primaries and the general election in cahoots with Trump is entirely real and verifiably so. Its called the "Pied Piper Strategy" and Clinton was hoping to use it to win the presidency but she didn't count on her own stupid plan backfiring on her.

 

[packerfan79]

The title of this thread is quite interesting. Completely leaving any political debate out. We live in the most safe and prosperous time in history.

If you make 30k a year you ARE in the 1%globally. Historically speaking of you make said 30k you are in the. 01%.

Most people walk around with a phone that has more computing capabilities than the computers NASA used to send a man to the moon.

We have cars that can break on their own. Within a relatively short time driverless cars will be a reality.

I get that political polarization may be quite extreme. That being said, the world wide murder rate is lower than any time in history. The world has never been safer.


Should we mabey take a step back and show some appreciation or at least acknowledgement, that global poverty has been cut in half in the last decade.

I guess we are spoiled, and its human nature to complain. In reality life has never been better.
