Greg’s Newsletter 1/9/2013


Folks, as we continue to slide down the slope of world relevance economically, the masters of Wall Street are cleaning up. We gave the world our industrial base and wealth on a sliver platter and even won’t challenge the theft of our intellectual property, other than using it as an excuse to regulate the internet. How did come too this, the answer is very clear, the close ties of the Federal Government, Wall Street, the biggest banks, and largest financial institutions. As my motto states: In Washington, “When the money talks, our freedom walks.” And it has walked our economic and social status down the path of less relevance economically in the world today because of this cozy relationship of government and economic power.

There will come a time when the world’s house of cards will come falling down again and it will, because the only reason the economic super powers are still in existence is the fact that the central banks here and around the world continue to print money to support them. They believe they can make this last but folks I believe it won’t go beyond 2014, when the reality of this house of cards will fall. It can’t continue because there is less and less productive money the world’s economic system than ever before. Productive money is where you produce and sell things, not just trading paper or printing money. This allows the economic elite to continue their robbery of everyone’s future wealth through the hyper-inflated path of printing money.

Is there a way out of this, yes but there is no political will to do so because our Federal Government and other nation’s governments do not have the political will to do so or in many cases the intellectual ability to do it.  Here is what I believe will be a great start in correcting these unbalanced influences in government:
1.     Stop politician’s revolving door into the financial world after serving their term, supposedly working for you and me, in public office.
2.     Minimally, enact laws to control these sectors so it will be impossible for their influence to ever cause another collapse or influence the government spending another dime on their behalf. If they can’t survive due to poor management, then let them fail as all other businesses are required to do.
3.     Better yet, break up the biggest of banks and dissolve the national banking system, let state, local banks, and credit union absorb their assets.

One of the best interviews I ever saw regarding what needs to be done was Neil Barofsky, Inspector General of the TARP program, on 10/26/12. Mr. Barofsky’s in depth knowledge of how the largest of banking and financial institutions influenced what path the government took in resolving these issues is something all of us need to understand. This interview will give you the reality which exposes the influence these institutions have on our government, so it will help people understand how and why the 2008 collapse happened and why nothing major has been really done to correct it, just window dressing laws:

 If something major doesn’t happen like outline in this interview and what I see needs to be done for a start to correct these issues, there will be another major collapse and seeming we haven’t recovered from the last one, the shock of such a collapse has the potential of making the last one look like a picnic.
