So suppose I keep a blind eye and don't start calling for the end of the Fed and don't raise hell about Copenhagen treaties and continue to think people with the last name Bilderberg, Rothschild and Rockefeller really aren't that scary and that secretive ninja bankers aren't going to assassinate me if I protest the central bank? What do you guys, who think this is all going down, think is going to happen to the world? Do you think that Heads of State such as the president are merely pawns for financiers to make money? Is Ben Bernanke at the heart of a global conspiracy and not some economist who thinks he's doing the right thing for the country by propping up inefficiently managed financial institutions and keeping interest rates amazingly low?
How far does it go? My sister in law works at the Cleveland Fed. Is she in on it?
I mean realistically, although the news stinks, there are talented, investigative reporters out there who work for major newspapers. Why aren't reporters for the Cleveland Plain Dealer able to figure this out but obscure web sites like Infowars.com can? I mean, say, Eersandbeers becomes a reporter, does he all of a sudden not care about finding out the truth of something like a global conspiracy because he works for a liberal news media racket? There's got to be at least one freedom losing newspaper journalist who would care enough to uncover something like this right? Is that a fantasy?
I mean where is the hardcore proof? It seems analagous to alien abduction type stuff to me. Where are the well respected guys with Ph.D's who believe this is going on? I will grant you that there are many intelligent people such as Dr. Ron Paul and other libertarians and "true conservatives" who believe strongly in ending the fed and the ills of centralized planning and central banking, etc...these arguments seem rational and that reasonable men could easily hold such beliefs...but, it seems to me, respected Austrians and Libertarians, etc. aren't talking about the Illuminati and NWO, etc. Murray Rothbard didn't start an institute promoting the ending of the NWO, etc.
For instance, a brief scan of "Lord Christopher Monckton" on wikipedia, the guy being interviewed by Glenn Beck, is a guy who calls himself a "world renowned expert" on climate change and is a global warming skeptic but has no science training at all. And, you know, that's fine if you don't believe in global warming...reasonable people can be skeptical of anthropogenic warming and warming in general...but seriously, this is the guy who's your source for the belief that the world is going to be one world government? I mean, to me, citing wikipedia is more credible.
I mean, it sounds like I'm just "attacking the source" instead of the argument, which is a logic fallacy; but I mean when a person is alleging something so grand as a NWO, the burden of proof is high and I don't think the burden is satisfied by obscure message boards and websites...but you know, maybe I'm just a blind sheep I guess? Foolish for not thinking the world is simply as it seems? Could be, I've been wrong before, wrong a lot in fact, but I guess I'm just not convinced. Maybe I need to be a little more open minded and head down a cartesian spiral of doubt.
I mean, I'm open to the idea that the FED is bad for the economy and the antithesis to a healthy free market and that it's demise is therefore justified...but on the grounds of misguided economic policy as opposed to, mysterious, international bankers secretly profiting off of little measly, blissfully ignorant humans.
You make some valid points. I dont live in a cave, nor do I wear a tin foil hat.
However, if you look down the rabbit hole, you will see where this could go.
We have people with PhDs and other credential lie to us...(the people) everyday, they are called senators and congressman.
Some more food for thought:
Ever wonder why your name is in all CAPS on your drivers liscence, or SS card?
When a person discovers your "strawman" or corporate fiction, it upsets them, however, any lawyer or BAR member knows this and could easily explain how commerce law works.
How about your birth certificate? Ever wonder what the numbers on the back mean? SSN?
Ask anyone at the SS office to explain what they are......:huh:
Federal Reserve....its a government entity, right? LOL
My point is, we have been lulled to sleep by the media and years of government education double think.
Thank you for your feedback, I mean that!!
