That CNN has been bought and paid for years shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

      As for central banks being a "natural progression" of the system, that's probably true. The problem is that the "money system" isn't NATURAL. Therefore the central bank concept is a contrived machination of the powers that be - they are real - that is crucial to their ability to rape the economy of any nation subscribing to the manipulation. The fact is that, if we even need banks, at all, we need banks that are independent of each other and of any relationship to the so-called "fed" or other form of colusive or predatory private enterprise - particularly one that diverts the wealth of our nation to foreign interests that view the United States as a fatted cow, to be exploited and eventually enslaved.

      We can thank YOUR selected officials for this state of affairs. Congratulations. You might well have gotten what you wanted or deserve...I got SCREWED! I won't tell you what I really think, because there are enough four-letter words in my vocabulary.
