I don't believe it's rational to expect any equitable financial solution from the same gang of globalist politicians who are beholden to the international banksters (Rothschilds et al.). If what they're negotiating (at G20 summits and the like) is so great for the general public, why do they hold their meetings in secret? What have they got to hide?

I believe we ought to demand complete transparency from those who purport to represent us. [Where's the full audit of every level of government, and the full audit of the Federal Reserve, for the people to examine?] Pres. John F. Kennedy in his 1961 speech on secret societies said: "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers, which are cited to justify it."

Many governments have been ramping up surveillance in the wake of the post-9/11 "war on terror" fraud; if these legislators expect the public to comply with their diktats, then they ought to set a good example and lay all their cards on the table for the public to see. If these legislators prove unwilling to do so, then their "legislation" ought to be roundly ignored and flouted. Our so-called \"representatives\" depend on public cooperation in order to implement step-by-step their overlords' elitist, parasitic "New World Order": let's jam the gears of their dehumanizing machinery by not complying with their expectations. They can pass whatever outlandish legislation they want: we can refuse to buy into corporate media-manufactured fear, and refuse to cooperate with any unjust statutes. Remember, the power-mongers require our consent to move their selfish plans forward: without our cooperation they\'re left stranded, ranting at the air!

You are not a (corporate) "U.S. citizen" unless you agree to be. You are not a \"taxpayer\" unless you choose to be. Why would you willingly give jurisdiction over your life to a self-serving criminal syndicate? You can opt to claim and exercise your unalienable sovereign rights instead; but first, you need to realize that you already have them.

The banksters and their paid agents expect people to keep using their fiat debt notes: how about as many people as possible substitute alternate forms of currency whenever possible in everyday commercial transactions? We can use community currencies, or precious metals; we can barter with goods, or exchange services. We can stimulate our creativity, invest in our local communities, and have a lot of fun doing so! (Catherine Austin Fitts provides great resources at her Solari website for opting out of what she calls the "tapeworm economy".)

Why would we keep paying income taxes - or any unnecessary, unconstitutional taxes? Walter Burien points out on his CAFR website that governments make most of their money through investments. By continuing to fund our pernicious corporate governments, we end up supporting domestic tyranny, foreign wars, black budget operations... goodness knows what unaudited horrors. Is this the best use of our labor and wealth? Is this truly the agenda we want to support??

By boycotting the private banks' fiat debt notes and electronic funds transfers (not to mention the Club of Rome\'s proposed "carbon currency" fraud), we can collectively bleed the banksters dry and regain our economic power. We really don\'t need their phony paper or magical keystrokes, thank you very much: by playing their game, we merely invest in our own slavery. We ought to show more self-respect and hold ourselves and our communities to a higher standard. Most of what we need, we can create and nurture locally. (Our process ought to start here, in any case.)

The recent Fourwinds posting "A Short History of Banking\" contains the crucial lines: "The regulation of usury was to prevent the separation of money from reality. Money is not a good, it is a measure. It is fraud to pretend otherwise, and constitutes theft. Usury is making money from lending money; it is making money from nothing. This is exactly what is happening today on a colossal scale." It would be prudent to reexamine our societies' dependence on the financial sector: are we in fact undermining our local communities' health by supporting an artificial, fraudulent international monetary overlay? Are we losing our manufacturing base and our connection with what\'s real? This question demands deep reflection - and effective action.

If we don\'t break the cycle of dependence and abuse, who will? Our financial captors? Fat chance! We hold the key to our own freedom: we need to realize this fact, turn the key, and walk out of the corporate-cage illusion conjured up by the financial-legal sorcerors. I recommend exploring the work of many fine researchers and activists working on the "sovereign freeman" issue. There are several worthwhile approaches: the most important thing is to keep moving in the right direction. If many of us start taking steps toward increasing our own freedom and supporting like-minded allies, we will generate massive momentum that will render the old predator-prey paradigm obsolete. Then we can all enjoy a world based on universal ethics, justice, peace, harmony, and abundance!
