The death of the economy began with the passing of the federal reserve
act in 1913. The question is, is this the final act?

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of
their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of
all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent
their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson 1816

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of
credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our
activities are in the hands of a few men... Who Necessarily, by very
reason of their own limitations chill and check and destroy genuine
economic freedom.

We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a
government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the
vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a
small group of dominant men." President Woodrow Wilson 1916

Once upon a time an election contained real issues like that of central
bank, today the issues are fluff and nonsense and the two choices we are
offered by the media, by the establishment, are little different on the
things that matter.

The envirowackos are nothing but useful idiots. They are the best friend
big oil ever had. They drive up the cost of starting in the oil and oil
refining business. They make it difficult and costly for smaller
companies to exist. This forces them to sell...to big oil. Market share
becomes more concentrated, the buisness protected from competition.
