Nice to get information that is unfunded. The mass media only plays what has been paid for. I wonder, how much is spent every year on distortion? And why is truth so unprofitable?
Reply from the Daily Bell:
Good question. Why has has the central banking model succeeded so far in the West?

I hate to pick the eyes out of such an excellent interview especially when I respect the interviewee. But if I did not make correction I would be dishonest. Mr. Wiggin states that all branches are independent. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt ( that he has forgotten ) but Dan Denning of the Australian branch was ordered by Mr. Wiggin to halve his price on ' Diggers and Drillers '. He was allowed to publish his protest however, said that he was now selling below cost. But full marks to all parties.

At 82 I have seen most everything and this is as accurate a forecast of where our Government is taking us. I am a former consultant, business man, with a zest for seeing the overall. Thanks

NON CONTRACTUAL POWER
The reason why the people who reside in the territory known as the USA are in such dire straits and in deep unresolved trouble is deceptively simple. The reason can be described in two words - non-contractual power.
I modified Lord Acton's insight - Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely - to read, Absolute corruption comes from non-contractual power.
All non-contractual power is in the hands of our entire political entity which includes the police, penal institutions, law and the courts and those who work in state mechanisms, and labor unions. This has been true for all states since the beginning of recorded history regardless of the designated state title - Republic, Democracy, Monarchy et cetera.
Sadly we humans have always been ruled by a state consisting of leaders with non-contractual power.
Note that all other interfaces in our Democracy require a contract, which includes the entire free market - private services and businesses. As an example, when you visit a super-market, you have an implied contract with the owner of the store that you will pay for all items you intend to remove from the premises.
More examples include electricity, garbage collection, telephone, newspaper, insurance, big ticket items including real estate, et cetera. All of them require a written contract. A contract can be a simple one page document or a thousand pages or more depending on the complexity of the property exchanged.
The solution is not so simple. It will require the development of an entire new social structure where all interfaces are contractual.

We look to the same people who created our problem to solve it!

It's all very well, and good to state that mainstream, cable media is not reporting the real story, but without your reporting WHO is responsible for controlling this suppression of fact, and WHY they withhold the truth, your message remains "toothless".
A spade must be called a spade. The longer the whistle remains unblown on this obvious, demonic varim the sooner, and most definitely dead MANY will be.
The same controlling Tzio-nist interests, as I am sure you are aware, based on certain points you allude to, also are 100% responsible for content, and absolute control of the "dumb-down" entertainment industry(s), from Hollywood, the top 5 recording studios(right down to the lyrics), all cable networks, Disney -(THE most obvious giveaway), and the major print media.
It has become painfully obvious that the all-out manipulation by these lahz goes far beyond their controlling of Wailing Wall Street, far worse is the fact that they now control the minds of the masses, their very owned American sheps!
Reply from the Daily Bell:
Thanks for the feedback, but we have never heard of ""sheps."
