Conspiracy theories.......

There is a certain monotony developing re people who, because they don't like, disapprove of, or fear a certain scenario - deal with that problem by declaring it a "conspiracy theory" without any proof of this assertion (a reverse conspiracy theory if you like).

Here is an accurate definition of a Conspiracy Theory:

Conspiracy theory was originally a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal, or political conspiracy.[1] However, it has become largely pejorative and used almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.


This is a Conspiracy theory:

The Fed is secretly owned and controlled by either the Rockefellers, Rothchilds, the Illuminati or a hybrid of all three. (possibly true but no proof)

This is a fact:

Most people believe the Fed is a US government department, it is not. The Federal Reserve is privately owned but has some government representation on the board to "control" policy. According to Wikipedia "In the current system, private banks are for-profit businesses but government regulation places restrictions on what they can do."
If you believe that you need your bumps read. the fact is, control is the other way around. the banks now control and regulate the government. That isn't a conspiracy - it's a fact. The administration isn't called "government sachs" for nothing.

Goldman Sachs is "a political organization masquerading as an investment bank, and they're sitting at the table with the top people in government," says Goldman critic Christopher Whalen, the managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics, which rates banks and provides customer analytics. He calls Goldman "the most political firm on Wall Street."


To many this may not seem to affect us, however whatever happens to the USA affects the whole planet.
The complete loss of control of the US financial system to the owners of the system is the major contributor to the instability and unrest around the planet. It is weakening the US dollar which most markets are priced in. This is driving up all commodity prices, (particularly food) as speculators use the flood of QE money to drive prices ever upwards. (QE money was never intended to do anything other than maintain confidence in the "market", an entity that has taken on religious qualities apparently.

For the majority, incomes are not remotely keeping pace and for those countries (Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria etc) where a most of that income is needed to feed a family we are seeing the direct results.


This is not a muslim/al quaeda uprising as some fear mongers (conspiracy nutters????) would try and make it out to be. People only rebel when the are starving. If they appear to be following radical islamics, it is only because those groups are there to fill the void left behind by the previous abberant rulers. There are many examples of this through history.

We are witnessing something that has happened on a regular basis throughout history, the decline of a dominant system. The current USA system has many parallels with the decline of the Roman Empire. Bread and circuses (reality TV), garrisons around the world (Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, Japan etc etc), corrupt senators...........

Unless the financial system is shredded and rebuilt the inevitable will happen inside 10 years and quite possibly inside 5. I loathe the phrase "income redistribution", it smacks of the negativity of Marx and the failed communist fairy story, but unless that happens to some extent then the peasants truly will be revolting and that won't be good for any of us.
