re: Sell our democracy to the highest bidders!
It really is "Sell our Republic to the highest bidders".
Although most people seem to be clueless, "it's a done deal" and has been so now for a number of years (started with establishment of the federal reserve, then seriously after WWII along with Kennedy assassination (remember what Eisenhower warned).
As Ben Franklin stated, "They have a Republic, if they can keep it."
======================================
Typical:
In the first half, author and conspiracy researcher Donald Jeffries discussed such topics as the JFK assassination, the death Of JFK Jr., 9-11, and Bohemian Grove. Certainly the "organized corruption" began before the Kennedy assassination, but since "November 22, 1963, you can see how things have grown progressively worse-- corruption has been ratcheted up to the point where we can be attacking American citizens with drones and bragging about it," he remarked. As one of the anomalies in the JFK shooting, Jeffries cited "the magic bullet" that was found in almost perfect condition and was claimed to cause seven wounds in Gov. Connally and Pres. Kennedy. "We know that's an impossibility-- no bullet has ever done that."
We saw the same kind of "calling card" during 9-11 when one of the alleged hijacker's passports was found on a pile of rubble, when everything else around it was obliterated, he commented. Post 9-11, we've been in an endless war with an enemy that is unidentifiable, and citizens' rights have been whittled away by the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, and the NDAA, he continued. The official cause behind the death of John Kennedy Jr. was said to be related to his reckless flying, but suspiciously, eyewitnesses in the case later said they were mistaken about what they saw, Jeffries reported, adding that he believes JFK Jr. was taken out because of his interest in politics, and possibly being a future presidential candidate.
In the first half, author and investment advisor, Catherine Austin Fitts, shared her unique perspective on how to navigate the opportunities and risks in the global financial system and political economy, and protect one's personal assets. In the last 20 years we've been through a "financial coup d'etat," and a lot of people have been hurt by this hidden system of finance, and black budget expenditures, she said. Right now, there's a big discrepancy in what we earn in our savings, and what we pay to borrow, "and that's part of what's destroying the middle class in this country," Fitts continued.
One of the biggest trends we're seeing is a re-balancing of the global economy-- the GDP in India per person is around $5,000, while in the US it's around $53,000-- "we are going through a process where someday those numbers will be the same," plus by 2020, 80% of the world population will have a smart phone and that will lead to revolutionary changes, she remarked. Currently, the US dollar's rise in value is putting pressure on newly advanced economies such as the BRIC nations, and could cause them to have slowdowns, as their debt is based in dollars, she explained. Fitts also expressed concern about the rising gap between the haves and have nots-- "we have literally financed a breakaway civilization," an ultra wealthy group that operates outside the laws of sovereign nations".
