HAITI: UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY HAS BEEN MORE DEVASTATING THAN THE EARTHQUAKE

HAITI: UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY HAS BEEN MORE DEVASTATING THAN THE EARTHQUAKE

By Fahim A. Knight-EL

My prayers and thoughts go out to the people of the island nation of Haiti who were devastated by a massive earthquake that measured 7.0 on the rector scale, which has killed thousands of Haitian people (experts are predicting that as many as 200 thousand people are presumed dead) and destroyed huge amounts of property in and around the capital of Port-au-Prince. This writer has been offering up prayers for Haiti and its people for many years; long before this said natural disaster occurred. It has been deemed the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and has a long history of political, economic and social strife, as well as instability that for the most part, has been induced and instigated by the United States and other wealthy European nations.

The western world has neglected this poor island nation since its inception of becoming the first independent black nation in the western hemisphere in 1803. This writer respects the outpouring of love and generosity that Haiti is presently receiving and God knows they need it. But it is same damnable hypocrites who helped put Haiti in its present condition leading this so-called humanitarian charge and now desire to appear as goodwill ambassadors. Also, the international bankers, Bush 1& 2, Clinton, and a host of others are all criminal culprits in Haiti’s demise. Haiti has had what amounts to a blockade, sanctions, embargo, etc., around this island nation in the form of neglect, at least those nations that have imposed international sanctions on them are able to acquire the things they need to survive from other nations that might be in political disagreement with the sanctions. But it is difficult to combat intentional neglect—which has rendered the people of Haiti invisible and nonexistent unworthy of a helping hand from its most powerful neighbor, the United States of America. (Reference: Kwame Ture YouTube Clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ09Z8Bu2V4).

Haiti has needed the world’s attention long before this devastating natural disaster in which United States only has committed a yearly amount of 300 million dollars of international foreign aid to this poor country and people. This is peanuts in comparison to what the U.S. taxpayers kick out to Egypt and Israel. However, this writer has placed some of the blame squarely on the shoulders of black electoral political leadership—there are 42 members in the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and for the most part these Uncle Toms are reactionary sellouts who over the course of time have done very little to aid Haiti and their silence towards Haiti before the earthquake renders them as being complicit—

Sanford D. Bishop, Jr., Emanuel Cleaver, Donna Christensen, G.K. Butterfield, Yvette Clarke, Sanford D. Bishop, Jr., Corrine Brown, Roland W. Burris, André Carson, Wm. Lacy Clay, Jr., James E. Clyburn, John Conyers, Jr., Elijah E. Cummings, Artur Davis, Danny Davis, Donna Edwards, Keith Ellison, Chaka Fattah, Marcia Fudge, Al Green, Alcee L. Hastings, Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., Sheila Jackson Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Hank Johnson, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, John Lewis, Kendrick Meek, Gregory W. Meeks, Gwen Moore, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Donald M. Payne, Charles B. Rangel, Laura Richardson, Bobby L. Rush, David Scott, Robert C. Scott, Bennie G. Thompson, Edolphus Towns, Maxine Waters, Diane E. Watson and Melvin L. Watt.

The above are the names of the African American Congressional culprits that have let Haiti down and this writer will continue to expose them long after the Haiti issue subsides. Many of the above politicians are not worthy of the black vote and in all reality, to have 95% of black folk voting the Democratic ticket is insane. This is truly another subject for another time. We love the devil because he gives us nothing.

There was no reason that Haiti should have been in its present day political, economic and social condition with that many black lawmakers and policy formulators on Capitol Hill. It is they, more than anyone else, who have neglected and let Haiti down; they do not lobby on behalf of Haiti and Africa—CBC should man-up and admit that they too have neglected the interest of Haiti and why shouldn’t world have taken an disengagement political course of action, if Black America themselves haven’t made Haiti a political priority.

Black America had a 900 billion dollar Gross National Product (GNP) last year and this alone renders us as having an economy larger than 12 European developed nations. Some would argue this nation is in crisis and it’s not the time for critical assessments and evaluations—my criticism at this time does not reflect a notion of me being insensitive or apathetic, but is more of an urgency to look beyond the cameras and the media hype to gather an understanding from whence we have come and whence we are headed relative to Haiti. This is perfect timing to call a spade a spade rather than sit quietly, as though we were unaware of Haiti’s crisis prior to January 12, 2010.

They did not care that children were dying in Haiti due to starvation and lack of nourishment, which has caused high incidents of infant mortality and no one shed a damn tear. The Haitians who sought to escape their oppression and built vulnerable man made rafts and traveled the violent Atlantic Ocean to the United States were only to be met with extreme hostility.

Many have argued for years that the Haitians were escaping political tyranny from Port-au-Prince, but they were met with hostility and political opposition from the United States Government and were denied the diplomatic status of political asylum which was often granted unconditionally to the so-called fleeing Cuban refugees. There were no goodwill ambassadors and/or open arms policy shown to the Haitian refugees. Many of the Haitian refugees were criminalized and placed in federal detention camps and were eventually deported back to Haiti. (Reference: Randall Robinson; "Quitting America: Departure of a Black Man From His Native Land").

Perhaps this was an example of the influence and the political power that the Cuban-Americans had in swaying the U.S. Judicial system and manipulating U.S. extradition laws and deportation policies to their benefit. This immediately put the Cuban refugees on track to become United States citizens and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) granted them rights and privileges and resources. But others argued that the Haitians were black and African in which at the root of the Haitian refugee issue was American style racism and this was the driving force behind this political double standard. No doubt the Haitian community in the United States did not have the political clout and the financial wither all, which to influence United States foreign policy unlike their Caribbean counterparts the Cubans. (Reference: Carol Bohmer and Amy Shuman; "Rejecting Refugees: Political Asylum in the 21st Century").

Haiti is considered the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and essentially is a powerless people in comparison to the Cuban-Americans. This writer believes that the Europeans are still punishing Haiti for the historical events of 1803 where Haiti became the first independent black nation in the western hemisphere due to Toussaint L'Overture defeating the powerful French military that was led by Napoleon Bonaparte. These events have haunted the island nation of Haiti for over two hundred years. (Reference: Paul Farmer; "The Use of Haiti").

Dr. Randall Robinson former chairman of TransAfrica stated: “Why the crude, gratuitous hostility? When America supports abusive unelected governments all over the world, why the spec­tacular meanness toward a poor, nascent democracy like Haiti's? With its rudimentary health system already compromised by an AIDS crisis precipitated by American and Canadian sex tourists, why would a colossus like the United States notice to trample unpro­voked upon the new and unconsolidated freedoms of a people like Haiti's, a people from among whose ranks, a great general, Fran­cois Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture, had once emerged to fight at Savannah alongside George Washington when freedom's fate hung here in the American” balance? (Reference: Randall Robinson: “Quitting America” ; p. 188).

Haiti has been systematically neglected in which has condemned and subjugated the Haitian people to a level of suffering that is unmatched by any other nation within the region. God has not forsaking Haiti and the people of Haiti —it has been the United States Foreign Policy towards Haiti that is part responsible for the present condition of Haiti.

We know that Haiti is a black nation and perhaps it has been their marginalization which has made it easier to overlook this nation of 9 million people who have languished in political and economic obscurity for over 200 years. The United States, the most powerful nation in the world has never saw fit to truly assist Haiti and to help liberate them from oppression and repression.

Dr. Randall Robinson continued: “In general, one is to wonder what it is in the American bully's character that would have it ration the leaders of poorer, nonlethal countries so little space in which to stand erect, to effect even the pose of self-determination, to raise any but the most perfunctory of voices on behalf of theirs who dream much the same as Americans dream, of freedom and the richer life that only freedom affords?”

“But American hatred for Haiti goes well beyond its general arro­gance toward third-world countries. Indeed, there is no rational reason to explain the deep-seated institutional enmity with which America has addressed Haiti during the two hundred years that have followed its successful military slave revolt against France and Napoleon Bonaparte. I expect that the real reason marks yet again the yawning divide between blacks and whites in America and else­where. It is profoundly racial, with its own detailed annotated his­tory, unlike the American full long experience with any other people of the Caribbean archipelago. What black Americans should love Haiti for, indeed what all blacks across the hemisphere owe Haiti for, official America {which is largely white America} subconsciously and sometimes not so subconsciously has hated Haiti for, time im­memorial. The Haitians are different. They are just not like the rest of us black hemispheric locals-ambulatory bad replicas of our conquerors.” (Reference: Randall Robinson; “Quitting America”; p. 188-189).

However, during the Cold War the United States Government and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had propped up the Haitian dictator François ("Papa Doc") Duvalier (1907-1971) and in 1971 the CIA propped up “Papa Doc’s” son Jean-Claude Duvalier “Baby Doc” (1951-still alive) and used both of them and the nation of Haiti as reactionary foreign policy tools—U.S. arm forces had free reign to setup military bases (which the CIA spied and instigated coups and created political instability in the Caribbean, Central and South America) and had access to Haitian airspace which to further enforce the Monroe Doctrine, as well as monitoring the military activities of Fidel Castro and Cuban regime.

President George Herbert Walker Bush when he was the CIA director strategically used the services of Jean-Claude Duvalier as an agent provocateur who signed on as an international drug (dope) partner in which the CIA and the United States Government were granted access to Haitian ports for the smuggling of marijuana and cocaine from Colombia and Panama (and from all points south). In fact Bush 1 (President and CIA agent) was running dope in Central, and South America and throughout the Caribbean for over three decades.

Russell S. Bowens in most revealing book titled, “The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed” stated: “How about Bush's much-touted role as America 's chief drug cop in the Reagan Administration? He headed the South Florida Task Force and the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System in the mid-1980s that left every­thing to be desired. A telling commentary was that his leadership of the task force was not renewed after he served one year on it. By the fall of 1986, soon after Bush had left his position there, Florida drug enforcement officials admitted that the amount of narcotics smuggled into the U. S. had skyrocketed. At the same time, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) reported that cocaine imports had doubled over the previous year”.

Bowen continued: “The Bush-controlled U. S. Justice Department is generally regarded as a national disgrace for its foot-dragging in the investigation and prosecution of virtually any cases involving drugs. As the former Commissioner of U.S. Customs, William von Rabb, declared in disgust when he resigned in the summer of 1989: "The war on drugs is a war of words." The only real battles, he said, are being fought against the minorities and downtrod­den, while those in authority are protecting the government's monopoly in the trade”. (Reference: Russell S. Bowen; “The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed”; p. viii-ix).

Haiti has always served as a vital and strategic nation in moving this most profitable commodity from Bogotá, Colombia directly to the ports located at Port-au-Prince and served as a halfway point between Miami and the United States gulf ports. So to the pundits who argue that Haiti does not have exploitable resources, then they fail to understand how lucrative the dope trade is to United States interest within the region. Thus, this dope arrangement has always made Haiti a very valuable country to the United States and western interest. David Icke in his book titled, "The Biggest Secret" stated: "Without the drug trade, the world economy, would collapse, so dependent has it become on the income and investments produced by the destruction of human life." (Reference: David Icke: "Biggest Secret"; p. 291).

Yes, the United States has always had an imperialistic agenda relative to Haiti However, I do believe that if the Haitian people were white and was that close in geographical proximity to the borders of the United States, our political disposition would be different. But they are people of African descendent who arrived to Caribbean Island of Hispaniola as slaves; the Spanish and the Portuguese in 1494 had signed the Treaty of Tordesillas and in 1517 the Papal of Demarcation was signed in which Spain and Portugal drew an imaginary line dividing the entire world between these two European powers. It would be the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Middle Passage that brought captive Africans to Haiti and throughout the Americas. (Reference: Richard Roscoe Miller; “Slavery and Catholicism”).

Since this massive earthquake Haiti has received a tremendous outpouring of love and financial assistance from around the world, which has been coming in, to assist this ravish island nation that has lost so much at a blink of an eye. It also speaks volumes for the humanity that exist when other human beings on the globe are confronted with a crisis, catastrophes, disasters, etc., and need the assistance of all people of goodwill. Why did it take a natural disaster for a Haiti to gain the attention of the world?

Thus, viewing the images of men, women and children lying on the dusty streets of Port-au-Prince dead (many will not even receive a dignified burial ceremony, but will be dumped in mass unmarked graves), but it is the sight of the children—seeing their anguish, fear and hopelessness, as well as disillusionment in their eye, is very heartbreaking to me as a father. I am a father with four children and my youngest being my 11 year old daughter and as I watched Anderson Cooper and other CNN reporting staff. I could not help but to look into my daughter’s eyes and wondering how would I be reacting, if it was one of my children who were laying helpless without the proper medical care, no food and water and even dead—I immediately began to count my blessings, and as much as I have grumbled about many of the political, economic and social issues in America as it pertains to injustice, and fairness. I and millions of others live in a privileged country—we have access to clean water, medical care and abundance of food (although Hurricane Katrina exposed America’s own racial and class divide).

This is not to suggest that how we engage in our privilege status is not without challenges, it is in deed effected by the imperfect system of Capitalism; because Capitalism impacts the quality of life pursuant to our ability to access goods and services (amount of income and wages one have access to do impact quality of life) and is no different than the developing nations paradigm. Perhaps it is the western nations over consumption of the world’s resources that have created the likes of a Haiti and any other poor poverty stricken nation.

Haiti's condition was not created in a vacuum; it has been well orchestrated by the international bankers who in concert with the CIA destabilized Haiti's sovereignty by investing in corruption. The root of Haiti's problem is the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)—this poor nation has received loans and has incurred massive debt (much more than this small nation can ever repay).

The United States Government has allowed Haiti's history of CIA backed ruthless dictators to accumulate millions of dollars of the people of Haiti’s money that has landed in American and European banks, which has afforded Haitian criminal leadership, both past and present to live lavish and Petit Bourgeoisie life styles at the expense of the masses of the people of Haiti who is forced to live off less than a dollar per day. Thus, for the United States to know this and then allow it occurs is an indictment of complicity and conspiracy.

Tracy Kidder of the Washington Post wrote on August 7, 2002: "Indeed the United States is actively impeding the flow of foreign aid to Haiti's government, a total of approximately five hundred million dollars, a sum roughly equal to the country's annual budget. We are even blocking illegally, a series of already-approved loans from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) totaling one hundred and forty-eight million, designated for improvements in Haiti's water resources, education and public health”.

This is what has supported the oppression and has contributed to political and economic destabilization of Haiti. Haiti has needed help and humanitarian assistance from the international community long before this massive earthquake. But the United States and the world turned a blind eye on this poor black nation. Why did not President Barack Obama take his aid relief initiatives to the next level by granting Haiti an international debt forgiveness and international debt amnesty pact? May be a decision like that is beyond his pay grade and he would have check with Dynastic Money Changers before engaging in a discussion on that level.

Former President Richard Nixon wrote in his book titled, “Seize the Moment: America’s Challenge in a One-Superpower World,” stated: “Facilitate debt relief. The ultimate answer to the debt crisis lies with the underdeveloped world. These countries must restore both domestic and foreign confidence in their econo­mies before any long-term solution is possible. At the same time, Western governments must insist that the banks that recklessly lent billions to uncreditworthy states bear their share of the burden. Western leaders should do their part by not imposing draconian payback schemes that would crush the underdeveloped world's ability to finance its debt. Too much international pressure could create political instability, which would drive out responsible democratic leaders and drive in radicals who would rather cancel than carry their debt.”(Reference: Richard Nixon; “Seize the Moment: America’s Challenge in a One-Superpower World” ; p. 269).

This will not only assist Haiti today, but it will assist Haiti tomorrow, as it seeks to rebuild its nation from the ruins of devastation. My concerns is what happens to Haiti after the lights, camera and action cease to exist and world attention quite down; do the world go back to resuming their prior position of laissez-faire (hands off policy) when it comes to this poor and desperate nation or will this tragedy be awake up call. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once stated: “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

This writer totally and categorically disagreed with the racist and insensitive comments made by the Reverend Pat Robertson of the 700 Club: See YouTube link Pat Robertson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNgXNnCyamA . But the pact Haiti has had with the devil, has been a sworn allegiance to Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, CIA, IMF and international drug lords that have always operated inside the White House. If we are serious, as an international community, than we can not resume business as usual. We all have a moral obligation to not only just help Haiti through this immediate crisis, but we must be committed to working, however long it takes to rebuild this poverty stricken and devastated nation. We must be in this for the long haul and after the cameras are cut off because the people of Haiti are a resilient people and with the proper help and resources, Haiti will rise again.

WHAT DOES SENATOR HARRY REID'S REMARKS REALLY MEAN?

What Does Senator Harry Reid's Remarks Really Mean?

By Fahim A. Knight-EL

This writer initially wasn't going to dignify Senator Harry Reid's racist remarks relative to President Barack Obama and the African American race, but my primary audience is the African American community and I have since talked to many blacks who felt outright offended by Senator Reid’s comments (I was equally offended).

This writer had initially thought that may be the timing of the media to expose Senator Harry Reid’s remarks was a mere controversial ploy to entice hype which to promote the new book titled "Game Change," authored by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin in order to create excitement for the book and in the world of marketing there is nothing like creating controversy because controversy sells.

However, Senator Reid's racial comments and analogy, extended to a complex historical past that evolved out of a 450 year old social dilemma (Chattel Slavery) that is still very much unresolved and had left many scars on the victims of this human tragedy.

Senator Reid's words were divisive and inexcusable, but it left us with a teachable moment, as we work to understand America's controversial racial historical politics and in the larger debate Senator Reid can only be partially blamed for making his insensitive remarks towards President Obama (this is not meant to absolve him of personal responsibility), in particular and all black people in general, because even his thoughts were created by a system of injustice and inequality (he was perhaps socialized into those views by being a member of the dominant society).

However, the United States refusal to engage in the unresolved discussion of the history of American racism continues to haunt every generation that have preceded thereafter slavery and Jim Crow era. America has had this habit of sweeping the race debate under the rug, as though through osmosis it is going to go away and it never does (racial feelings and misconceptions for over 450 years have laid to fester in a cesspool of silence and denial). (Reference: Tim Wise YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQWP7fUSPJU ).

This writer studied under a great intellectual and professor named Dr. Earlie Thorpe, who would often espoused that you can not legislate attitudes and thinking—real change has to be internal and no laws can change the hearts and minds of humanity; they must be willing to do that themselves. No, doubt Dr. Thorpe's words looms high when you examine the social tension and racial climate inside of America—we have passed Brown versus Education of 1954, Civil Right Act 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but in reality it appears hasn't to much changed since these monumental pieces of legislation. (Reference: Al Jazeera television YouTube Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sQ7JCgbYc4

I made the below comment on Kenny’s Sideshow Blog and it is fitting that I restate my position relative to the Al Jazeera piece. It appears this documentary was put together by Al-Jazeera television and I have tremendous respect for this network, but I am bit suspicious of this piece. Thus, I know the Middle East and Islamic nations are plagued with their own political, economic and social issues and as we saw in the video, the United States definitely has its share of problems and concerns relative to race relations. However, this writer is smart enough to know that the Arabs themselves have practiced systematic racism against darker skinned Africans and even against darker skinned Muslims. So they are not in a moral position to highlight racism.

Now, we have to be able to discern, how much of this is mere propaganda to further incite racial division, with a strategy and tactic to cause internal confusion by putting together this slick marketing video to flat-out heighten the racial contradictions in the United States. Much of this plays right in the hands of those who have a vested motive to divide and conquer. This is not to suggest that white neo-Nazi hate groups aren't real. I believe that race/racism within the United States is an unresolved issue after 450 years and the enemy plays on that reality. I have been engaged in civil rights and human rights struggle all of my adult life, in which I have determined that racism is a disease. This type propaganda supports the power apparatus—it ultimately keep the haves and the have nots in conflict.

Yet, we are stilling dealing with the question of equality and fairness in 2010. Senator Reid is an elected official and if he holds these types of negative cultural sentiments, than we can only imagine how many others might share these same views. The scope and intent, of this article is by no means, meant to overlook the social progress that African Americans have made since their sojourn in America and I definitely do not accept that every white person believes in the type of racist venom that the great Senator of Nevada made.

You would have thought that the U.S. Senate would offer some type diversity training to its member in order that Reid and Trent Lott and the boys would not become an embarrassment to this august body of public servants. But my contention is that racism is a disease.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing in her book titled, “The Cress Theory of Color Confrontation and Racism” states: "Racism is viewed as a global behavior power system with a constant and specific set of power relationships. Racism evolved with the singular goal of white supremacy or white power domination by the global white minority over the vast non-white global majority. This 'colored global collective' has been forced into the position of relative powerlessness compared to the 'global white collective' establishing the power equation of white over non-white (W/N-W). Racism, whether consciously or unconsciously evolved as a survival necessity for the tiny global white minority, due to their genetic recessive status as albino variants (mutants) in a world of skin-color genetically dominant black, brown, red and yellow peoples”

Perhaps there is still a great necessity to have race leaders such as Reverend Al Sharpton, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Benjamin Jealous, Marc H. Morial, etc., not that I have ever doubted their continued usefulness to the liberation struggle of the black downtrodden. Some have argued that we have entered into a new era of post racial politics in America; in particular since electing America's first African American president, which had rendered the above black leaders as being obsolete and outdated until an incident like Harry Reid pops up on the Civil Rights leaders radar screen.

This writer does believe that some of these so-called black leaders use the race issue to exploit and to financially enrich themselves in the name of promoting black causes.

The United States Government has to take full responsibility for its role in the process of institutionalized racism and do not think this half-hearted governmental apology, which lacked real moral conviction was sufficient for the wrongs of slavery and racial injustice—this so-called apology for the historical wrongs of slavery was viewed by most grassroots blacks as public mockery—symbol without real substance. If you had taken notice, no black people were out celebrating America's so-called official apology for the wrongs of slavery, that alone should have told us something.

The United States Congress on June 11, 2009 so-called publically apologized to the descendents of slaves; it was an apology that was a well crafted resolution which was equally protected by well crafted legal language (it wasn't a full admittance, but it served to protected the U.S. Government from future reparations debate).

The resolution in part stated: "African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow laws--long after both systems were formally abolished--through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty; Whereas the story of the enslavement and de jure segregation of African-Americans and the dehumanizing atrocities committed against them should not be purged from or minimized in the telling of the history of the United States"

Thus, U.S. Government just should have come straight-out and admitted that it was an evil practice which stands to be condemned by all of humanity. The resolution continued: "Whereas an apology for centuries of brutal dehumanization and injustices cannot erase the past, but confession of the wrongs committed and a formal apology to African-Americans will help bind the wounds of the Nation that are rooted in slavery and can speed racial healing and reconciliation and help the people of the United States understand the past and honor the history of all people of the United States."

When black people react to racist comments like the ones that Senator Reid made, it's partially out of their historical trauma in which the victims were never allowed to heal and the perpetrators were never mandated to take full responsibility for their criminal activity—it is this social polarity that undergirds the emotions and attitudes of two conflicting people and societies.

How many whites stood up and condemned and repudiated Senator Reid for spewing racism and hatred? If we are truly seeking better race relations within the United States then CNN, CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, etc., should have had a slew of Caucasians publically lambasting Reid for having the audacity to make such outlandish remarks. This writer did not see a lot of white people publically condemning Senator Reid.

This writer constantly hear whites saying, why do blacks continually bring up slavery and the painful racial past of American history? (many ordinarily wrongfully characterize these type conversations as a dialog in victimization), but Senator Reid's remarks is a stalk reminder that as much as most Africans living in America can not consciously overlook their historical persecution past and in reality they should not be asked to do so (this history created a false system of inferiority). It is, perhaps equally true that most whites can not let go the past either because of the deep seated guilt of their ancestors and the false status of racial privilege that led to their social, political, and economic empowerment as well as present day status.

Dr. Naim Akbar in his book titled, "Visions for Black men," stated: Racism is a strange phenomenon that blocks human opportunity, that destroys human potential, that is predicat­ed on the destruction of people on the basis of physical racial characteristics. That phenomenon is a Euro-American phe­nomenon of the worst kind and what does it do? Even though it teaches the inferiority of non-Caucasian people, it has a much more important logical source. You must understand that the premise of racism is not Blacks' inferiority, but white superiority. Let us understand that white supremacy is not intended for the purpose of denigrating black folks. It is done on the basis of a group of insecure people trying to grab their own questionable self-esteem and raise it to a level at which they can begin to justify their own question­able authenticity on the stage of human progress. It is neces­sary for them to somehow define themselves as superior on the basis of somebody else's inferiority. In order to do it, they had to distort history, they had to distort records, they had to go out and wipe out the signs of the greatness of our history." (Reference: Naim Akbar; "Visions for Black men,"; p. 28).

This story was buzzing throughout black America and most black leaders and black talking heads were milking this incident for all that it was worth. Race in America is still one of those hypersensitive issues and by it remaining as one of those historical unresolved issues; it still carries a lot of emotions ranging from anger, fear, and suspicion.

Tim Wise in his book titled, "White Like Me: Reflections on Race From a Privileged Son" stated: I don't view it as my job to fight racism so as to save you from it. That would be paternalistic and would imply that you aren't-or that folks generally aren't—capable of liberating yourselves from white supremacy. I think you are, though I think it might be a bit easier if you have some internal resistance from whites like myself. But that's neither here nor there. I fight racism because racism is evil, and I don't want to contribute to, or collaborate with, evil. I fight it because it's a sickness in my community, and I'm trying to save myself from it."

Let's take a moment to revisited Senator Reid’s comments relative to President Obama being "light skinned and with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." What does this mean? This comment to say the least, was loaded with all types of past stereotypes, racial indictments, bigotry, unapologetic racism, etc., which was perhaps rooted in a culture of racism that evolved out of Chattel Slavery (1555-1865) and it is quite difficult to detach the statement from the overall sociological and psychological time period, but nor can the statements be placed in a historical vacuum.

I am going to play a little devil's advocate here; supposed Senator Reid would have spewed this type of insensitive and derogatory remarks towards Jews and the Jewish community and, thus the Jews perceived his remarks as being anti-Semitic. The Anti Defamation League (ADL), chairman Abe Foxman would use all the weapons at his organizational disposal to punish Senator Reid and any other person who did not respect the sanctity of the Jewish heritage and Jewish cultural experience.

Moreover, every Jewish organization would be leveraging their power and influence towards working to curtail Senator Reid's political career. The Jews would demand that his constituents in the U.S. Congress repudiate him and it would not matter how many apologies Reid would make, they would never forgiving him for echoing the slightest words of anti-Semitism. If you do not believe me, just ask former president Jimmy Carter, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Patrick Buchanan, Jesse Jackson, Cynthia McKinney and a host of others.

But when you perceive a people (African Americans), as a powerless people in which you know that the political consequences of your actions and remarks would be minimum and insignificant to derail their political aspirations and/or impact their economic wither all; blacks becomes an easier target for these type of racist insults, a powerless people do not control the institutions that effects humanity's stations in life (as far as having the power to reward and punish). Senator Reid has no choice, but to respect the Jewish people because he respects their power (money) and influence to alter the political, economic and social paradigm including his own.

Slavery created the term "Negro" race (it was devised as a denigrated race classification which served as a final by-product of slavery and the slave making system), I did not say the African race because there was a distinct difference (African people had a glorious history and civilization prior to advent of slavery). But the evolution of the "Negro" race was a by-product of the evil and racist systemic practices of dehumanization, which was associated with Chattel slavery. (Reference: Nation of Islam minister YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBe68F3nJmQ ).

African slaves were robbed of their names, religion, folkways, mores, values, language, culture, traditions, etc., and most of all they were robbed of their humanity. The institution of slavery created what became known as the "Negro" this label signified and denoted that the slavery process was completed and they had created something entirely new, which would serve their agenda for generations to come.

Blacks in America have been in search of a unified racial identity and a nationality for over four centuries. Africans in America have yet to agree unilaterally on how they want to be identified—Negro, Ethiopians, Asiatic, Nubians, colored, black, African, African American, Moorish American, Hebrew Israelite, etc., it was slavery that caused this disconnect from their original heritage. Some blacks would argue who gives two cents about how Senator Reid views them and for that matter, any other white person and would argue, why would I waste my energy and time trying to assess and analyze what white people thinks about black people? My response is very simple, I have always felt compelled to set the record straight in order to give the antithesis and lay an intellectual road map for my 11 year old daughter and others.

Senator Reid covertly appears partial to giving credibility and legitimacy to that everlasting personality that the sociologist John Blassingame in his book titled, "Slave Community" call the "Sambo" personality, which was a by-product of the slave plantation life (most slave masters preferred that personality). However, Senator Reid's comments could be viewed as being more rooted in ignorance and/or may be not, perhaps he totally understood the evil intent and the negative effect that Chattel slavery had on the social and psychological personality of the African race and sadly his comments was showing appreciation for the effect that process had on African people.

President Obama to him represented a past, present and future prototype and in the collective sense—these type African Americans who are light skinned and talked with good standard English would be considered more acceptable "Negroes" from the dominant culture standpoint. Let’s go even a little further the type of schooling and education will also factor into this "good "Negro" prototype profile; in particular Negroes who are graduates of Harvard, Yale, Cornel, Stanford, Duke, Princeton, Columbia, Georgetown, etc. (Reference: Dick Gregory YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAcN5iKArQU&feature=PlayList&p=3C7268A7577EEA60&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=32 ).

I am not surprise that Senator Reid's comments gives the inference and implication that whites find the "Negro” DNA relative to President Obama’s type and who shares close ethnic proximity to their own, as perhaps being less threaten and even better suited to be placed in leadership over the ex-slave master's White House (you can draw a direct parallel from Minister Malcolm X Speech dealing with the “House Negro” and “Field Negro”). (Reference: Minister Malcolm X speech see YouTube Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQe9nUKzvQ ).

Reid's comments even further implied that unless blacks have adopted white culture and have encultratated themselves into talking with an American European dialect and disowning their own culture and heritage only then, are they considered real "Americans".

This is how the preeminent historian/sociologist Dr. W.E.B Dubois describes this peculiar dilemma in his monumental book "Souls of Black Folk" he stated: "After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world,--a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his twoness,--an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two un-reconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." (Reference: W.E.B Dubois; "The Souls of Black Folk")

The light skin that Reid was applauding represents the image of the former slave master half-black children and oftentimes even during slavery these racial mixed offspring received more privileges than darker skinned slaves. Perhaps, a society that has been structured on the premise of a pigmentocracy paradigm where rewards and privileges are bestowed based on skin color is still in effect in 2010.

Reid essentially was saying that President Obama's white blood lineage uniquely qualified him to be looked at different than blacks who did not share his light skinned pigmentation and may be Senator Reid understood the unnaturalness and brutality of those who survived this evil system and his statement reflected how reliable the end product (making of the “Negro”) would be toward self-hatred and loving those other than self. But the most alarming covert attack and assumption that Senator Reid's remark suggested was that Africans had no culture and tradition. His light skinned analysis subtlety implied and affirmed the acceptability of African women having been raped and sexually violated by white slave masters, which produced mulatto offsprings and from his worldview he sees nothing wrong with that historical picture.

We felt an obligation to weigh in on the racist comments made by Senator Harry Reid and we have a job, duty and responsibility to work from our moral compass and to be willing to fight injustice wherever we may find it. This writer view President Barack Obama as fair game, when it comes to criticizing his politics and critiquing his presidential decisions, but racism should not be one of those variables used in the assessment equation. Senator Reid’s comments were highly offensive and inappropriate and stood to be condemned.

He covertly indicted the African American race while at the same defending the symbols of white supremacy and the system of institutionalize racism. Now, there are those who systematically instigate racial conflicts and are the true benefactors of divide and conquer. Some will argue that if I know this reality, why am I then participating and engaging in this hidden plot and scheme, which ultimately works against the good of all humanity? It is because I have a deep seated love for freedom, Justice, and equality.

THE MONEY CHANGERS: THE FEDERAL RESERVE, ROBBERY BY DECEIT

(The article was originally published on November 9, 2007)

By FAHIM A. KNIGHT-EL

The entire planet has been shammed by a minority one percent (1%) of the population who are far worst than Frank James and Jesse James two “infamous” bank robbers and outlaws or any other criminals we can name in world history, but at least we understood these stickup boys made it known to the victims that they were out to steal the money. They left no doubt their motive was strong arm robbery. The Federal Reserve System is truly a shadow government that operates outside the legal jurisdictional, democratic and Constitutional parameter upon which America was founded. The citizenry of this nation should be up in arms and outraged that this cartel of twelve Central Banks (that function invisible without boundaries) which are privately owned with no federal United States affiliation attached is running our monetary system. This illegal cartel has the authority (power) to determine national, and international currencies values and ultimately the entire world is under their pulse and dictates. (Reference: “The World Order: It Will Change the Way You live” by Pat Roberson).

These money moguls have two motivations—profit and greed at the expense of the masses of the people that are viewed by them, as mere cannon fodder. Ralph Epperson in his book titled, “The New World Order” stated, “The use of secrecy to conceal thoughts from certain of the members of an organization or from the public is the device of those have something to hide. That something is so horrible, so terrible, that knowledge of that secret must be kept from those would have the most to lose by knowledge of that secret.” (Reference: “The New World Order” by Ralph Epperson).

On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Controller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON.Former Congress McFadden stated, "This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime”. (Reference: Congressional Records May 23, 1933 Remarks by Representative Louis T. Mc Fadden).

There are present day members of the United States Congress who know that the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Act are illegal and unconstitutional, but none of them dare to speak out nor put forth a bill on the floor of congress to eradicate this unlawful cartel that has seize control over the United States monetary system because it would prove to be political suicide to take on Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, two chief front men for the MONEY CHANGERS.

The silence of our government relative to the Federal Reserve is clear indication that our leaders are in complicit either with the MONEY CHANGERS or are silent (which makes them co-conspirators) due to the OATHS that many of them have taking to protect and defend the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger, etc., which the majority of our governmental officials are card carrying members. You can not decode the MONEY CHANGERS without at least mentioning and understanding the relationship high finance has with these three organizations and a number of others like it, throughout the world. This has been a consistent theme in my last two articles titled, “The Hidden Hand and their Quest for World Domination” and “Who Rules America and Why do They Hide?”

The best analogy is like hand (MONEY CHANGERS) and glove (Clandestine Brotherhood). (Reference: Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300” by John Coleman).Carroll Quigley in his monumental book titled, “Tragedy and Hope” stated, “It was group of people, whose wealth and influence so exceeded their experience and understanding, who provided much of the framework of influence which the communist sympathizers and fellow travelers took over the United States in the 1930’s. It must be recognized that the power that these energetic left-wingers exercise was never their own power or communist power but was ultimately the power of the international financial coterie.”

This writer does not know who the terrorist are (well I am intelligent enough to know that is not the Islamic fundamentalist) and those that are labeled as such; perhaps received this label from those who actually orchestrated the 9-11 incident. Most people have been duped and deceived into believing that Osama Bin Laden and the Islamic fundamentalist were the "terrorist" and had no idea the MONEY CHANGERS are those who shape and mold public opinion (how we think is systematically devised by them) .

The 9-11 deception had multi-objectives, but it’s just wishful thinking to believe that most people in the United States and the world understood and recognized that the true "terrorist" had many disguises and we had been take in by master conmen. Thus, the MONEY CHANGERS uses powerful High Degree Freemasonry type organizations such as: Order of Illuminati, House of Rothschild, Skull and Bones, Anglo American Establishment, Priory of Sion, Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc., they serve as the political brokers for the MONEY CHANGERS. In addition, the Council on Foreign Relations is the most powerful organization in the United States and arguably in the world. (Reference: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen & Larry Abraham).

They used the September 11, 2001 incident to dismantle the financial accumulation of wealth that Arab Muslims had acquired and dispersed in foreign European Banks (many of these so-called Muslims were participating in a financial arena—money changing which was clearly anti-Islam). Furthermore, in many cases, after falsely labeling the nation and/or the personal depositor as being linked to terrorism, it made them easy targets of U.S. scrutiny and under the United States Patriot Act and the Military Commission Act they could be acted on. The MONEY CHANGERS have confiscated from allege Muslim terrorist billions of dollars and justified their rogue actions in name of so-called fighting terrorism and the MONEY CHANGERS were steadily filling their financial coffers with so-called terrorist money that was dripping in blood.

The United States Government do not have to even prove such allegations in order freeze or confiscate one’s currency, it only requires the cabal to utter one word, terrorism. But the term "blood money” which was being applied to the Arab/Muslims/Islam decoys as "terrorist" and their money was characterized by the cabal as "blood money" ,but that did not curtail the MONEY CHANGERS for committing thievery by deception.

However, Bush and boys would use the 9-11 hoax to rearrange the World and with the passing of the United States Patriot Act and Military Commission Act which gave them an official national and international license to freeze (STEAL) innocent individuals and nations money that had been held in United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, French, Hong Kong, South African, Israeli, Japan, etc., banks and no one would question their actions and motives. This writer suspects that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) does not cover bank funds that were stolen by the MONEY CHANGERS from allege “terrorist”.The Swiss Banks are havens and serve as THE SECRETS OF THE TEMPLES (many of the MONEY CHANGERS secret meetings take place in Zurich, Switzerland) are controlled by the real terrorist, the Power Elite---David Rockefeller, Harry Oppenheimer, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Karl von Habsburg, Juan Carlos, Edgar M. Bronfman, Sr., Lord Peter Carrington who do not give a damn about 9-11 and/or any other world event they have orchestrated. PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT.

Mullins in “The Secret of the Federal Reserve” asked perhaps one the most essential questions, Who own the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks. “The dynastic families of the ruling World Order, internationalist who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockerfellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others known as the elite, or the big rich.”

This is a list of Banking Institutions (Central Banks) that ruled the entire planet: 1. Rothschild Bank of London, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, 2. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York (Rockefeller)Chase National bank of New York (Rockefeller). 3. First National Bank of New York. 5. Hanover National Bank of New York. 6. Goldman Sachs of New York. 7. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York. 8. Lehman Brothers of New York. 9. Warburg Bank of Hamburg Warburg Bank of Amsterdam. 10. Lazard Brothers of Paris. 11. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy. 12. JP Morgan.

But above named MONEY CHANGERS have manipulated humanity by luring them to sleep with false concepts, deceit, treachery and bogus information in order to reign without opposition from the hoodwinked and misinformed masses who have no idea, they are pawns in the game. The MONEY CHANGERS crime is thievery by deception.

{Alan} “Greenspan represented the unbroken line of control of the Federal Reserve Systems by the firms represented at the secret meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910, where Henry P. Davidson, right-hand man of J.P. Morgan, was a key figure in the drafting of the Federal Reserve Act. Within days of taking over as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Greenspan immediately raised interest rate on Sept. 4, 1987, the first such increase in three years of general prosperity, and precipitated the stock market crash of Oct., 1987, Black Monday, when the Dow Jones average plunged 508 points. Under Greenspan’s direction, the Federal Reserve Board has steadily nudged the United States deeper and deeper into recession, without word of criticism from the complacent members in Congress”.

These same MONEY CHANGERS are constantly feeding the American people a large dose of political propaganda relative to Iran, in the same manner of how they lied about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction---George Bush, Dick Chaney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield, George Tenet, Paul Bremer, Paul Wolfowitz, Tom Ridge, etc. They used smoking mirrors and “tricknology” to sway the American people and the world in to believing that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent danger to western democracy and as he was being falsely accused of state sponsor terrorism; moreover, of course this intelligence was created by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Although, there was no proven or credible intelligence that linked Saddam Hussein to Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda movement or to any other so-called “terrorist cell”, it did not matter Bush was advocating (or should I say given orders) war for the warmongers and MONEY CHANGERS. The United States foreign policy in Iraq was centered on Oil, in which the MONEY CHANGERS imposed their military will and now are receiving huge financial dividends. They stole the second largest Oil Reserve in the world; yet, how does one account for the skyrocketing fuel prices plaguing the west? The occupation and colonization of Iraq, as well as the murder of over 1 million Iraqi’s citizens is a criminal act. Who will charge President George Bush with war crimes?

Iran is another Oil wealthy Islamic State and its President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad has been critical of United States Foreign policy in the Middle East region in particular on the Palestinian—Israeli conflict (Reference: “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” by Jimmy Carter) and State Department, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, etc. via the media is creating false propaganda and inciting the ignorant American masses to view Iran as a threat to United States National Security. Western media makes claim that President Ahmadinejad called into session on December 11 and 12, 2006, a two day Holocaust Conference in Tehran, Iran where he and the other presenters were accused of advocating anti-Semitism at the highest level and since that conference the powerful Israeli Lobby has used its influence in the United States Congress to isolate Iran and to impose economic sanctions against a segment of the Iranian military (Elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards). Some would argue that it is Zionist influence that guide U.S. Foreign Policy and will perhaps lead this nation in to another war, with the benefactors being the MONEY CHANGERS.

President Lee Bollinger of Columbia University under much opposition and criticism stood by the university’s invitation to allow President Ahmadinejad to speak at this prestigious Ivy League school on September 24, 2007. Bollinger took on President Ahmadinejad and it was evident that Bollinger was not an intellectual match for President Ahmadinejad; in fact, George Bush himself and all of the United States Congresspersons are no match for Ahmadinejad because he stands on truth and American politicians say and do what is politically expedient.

But when the paymasters gives their puppets orders, it is non-negotiable, they have an obligation to protect and defend the MONEY CHANGERS at all cost (no pun intended). President Ahmadinejad was in town (New York City) attending the 62nd session of the United Nations General Assembly and he made a formal request to the United States Government to lay a reef at ground zero, as a gesture of respect and in the spirit of humanity as a Head of State, but the low level operatives denied the request; perhaps at the instigation of those who rule America. President Ahmadinejad will now serve as the litmus test for the new would-be servant that in 2008 will wear the title president of the United States of America and the world.

The United States has had a political gripe with Iran since 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis and the coming of power of Ayatollah Khomeini who kicked the seven oil sisters out of Iran and instituted an Islamic theocracy and more importantly nationalized the Oil. The MONEY CHANGERS have never forgiving Iran for interfering with their huge oil profits and now are creating an illusion that Iran’s so-called quest to attain nuclear capability should be justification to declare war against the nation of Iran. But actually these vipers want control of the Iranian Oil fields and to further enrich these invisible dynastic families. (Reference: “Metal Men: Marc Rich and the 10 Billion Dollar Scam” by A. Craig Copetas).

William Cooper in his book titled, “Behold a Pale Horse” stated, “What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you." Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that could be used to INDUCE PEOPLE [We emphasis] (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show to his customers”.

Cooper goes on to state, “Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support”. (Reference: “Behold A Pale Horse” by William Cooper).

The uninformed masses would vehemently contest and oppose any notion that their exist an invisible government that operates outside laws, rules, jurisdictions, national and international constitutions, etc., and is cloak with the utmost sovereignty. They are only motivated by power and money (finance) and have covertly enslaved humanity by driving them to DEBT and modern day servitude. Black’s Law Dictionary defines money as being “the medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a government as part of its currency {coins and currency are money}. Assets that can be easily converted to cash…real money {is} money that has metallic or other intrinsic value, as distinguished from paper currency, checks and drafts”. Thus, keep the above point in mind, as this writer works to decode, unravel, disentangle, decipher, elucidate, etc., the money trail and how the MONEY CHANGERS duped us and has robbed the United States Government and its people blind. (Reference: “Black’s Law Dictionary; 7 edition; Edited by Bryan A. Garner).

This writer ordinarily do not make it a habit of quoting religious texts, but studying the Bible, Jesus the Christ over 2000 years ago acknowledge, exposed, condemned and chased the MONEY CHANGERS out of the Synagogue for he did not desire to have their corruptible influence and spirit in the sacred Temple.

The Bible stated, “Jesus went to Jerusalem; and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers money and overthrew the tables.” Although, Jesus had exposed the MONEY CHANGERS, they began to put on many disguises and would ultimately work under a cover of darkness. They have infiltrated every nation both past and present financial institutions and economies with one objective which to become the financial dictators and tyrants over humanity’s wealth.

These sovereign gods throughout history formulated creeds, oaths, rituals, and sacrament rites to ensure concealment, secrecy, confidentiality, etc., equivalent to Freemasonry type organizations and many cases Freemasonry acts as a front for the sovereign gods . The book of Ephesians in the Bible stated, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.” (Reference: “Turning The Key: Rituals of Freemasonry Revealed” by Robert Lomas and “The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus” by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas).

The American citizens, in particular and the world in general, have the slightest clue or idea that today’s money has no value and the Federal Reserve System that was established in 1913, along with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ensured this reality by putting the final touches on this financial coup d'état on behalf of the international private bankers who found a way to circumvent the United States Constitution by concocting policy and influencing legislation to position themselves as the LORDS OF MONEY AND FINANCE.

In the book titled, “The Biggest Secret” by David Icke he stated, “When it came to power, Roosevelt pulled off one of the biggest thefts in human history when he passed laws forcing the American people to hand over all their gold to the government in return for worthless pieces of paper known as Federal Reserve banknotes. This was necessary, he said, to solve the dire economic problems. Soon afterwards, with the American economy now completely under brotherhood control, Roosevelt put their symbol, the pyramid and the all seeing eye, on the dollar bill. He was saying to the American people: ‘Gotch-yer’

“In his book titled, “The Synagogue of Satan” the author Ashahed Muhammad stated, “It's enough to say that two German Jews, Paul and Felix Warburg, and the international bankers of Europe, wined and dined a Senator, named Nelson Aldrich who was the maternal grandfather of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and they wined and dined him for two years, showing him the central banks of Europe. Senator Aldrich came back to America and was given the job of being a part of the national study of the national monetary system. Nelson Aldrich with Paul Warburg had a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia. And in that secret meeting, what came out of it was the basis of the Federal Reserve Act”. (Reference: “The Synagogue of Satan” by Ashahed M. Muhammad).

Perhaps it is mere coincidental or maybe not, but this writer could not overlook nor ignore the Jewish influence that seems to permeate this discussion of the Federal Reserve, High Finance, and the MONEY CHANGERS. This writer abhors and detest anti-Semitism, as well as any other form of racism and maybe we can distinguish this ever occurring trend as Zionism being practiced by a minority, but powerful sector of the Jewish Elite. The credibility of the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” or Henry Ford’s dissertation titled, “The International Jew”, it is not for me to make the case of the truth or the falsity relative to a conspiratorial Jewish cabal. But as a social scientist, we are required to make every attempt to answer the six basic questions of who, what, where, when, why and how; moreover, allow the research to be guided by the course of the facts and to serve as the moral compass in our investigation. (Reference: “The International Jew” by Henry Ford).

The MONEY CHANGERS robbed Fort Knox’s Kentucky of 60 years worth of gold and silver which was financial property belonging to the United States Treasury Department and ultimately to the American people (the every day taxpayers). Moreover, according to Encyclopedia Wikipedia. It stated, “The United States Bullion Depository holds approximately 4,570 tons of gold bullion (147.3 million ounces [1]). This is exceeded in the United States only by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's underground vault in Manhattan, which holds approximately 5,000 tons of gold in trust for many foreign nations, central banks and official international organizations. Some argue that the MONEY CHANGERS gave President Lyndon Johnson orders to move Fort Knox’s gold to London. Icke goes on to state, “The membership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs remains a secret, but it also includes people of the same positions and background in the United Kingdom and I stress the American CFR is subordinate to, and takes orders from, the Royal Institute in London.”

All the United States Tender (U.S. Dollars) use to be backed by the precious metals of gold and silver. Eustace Mullins stated, “Federal Reserve notes actually promissory notes, promise to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes.”

The Federal Reserve gets its money through "kiting". Kiting is defined as "getting money or credit by using bad checks". The U.S. Bureau of Engraving prints those Federal Notes (legal tender) which you carry. The Federal Reserve is allowed to buy these notes for one cent each! Using notes that cost them one cent, they buy millions of dollars in U.S. interest-bearing bonds. The bonds are deposited with the Comptroller of the Currency as security. The money you pay as federal income tax redeems (pays oft) the U.S. bonds. IRS Code, title 26 USCA states the income tax goes to redeem Federal Reserve.

There are currently two kinds of money in circulation: genuine silver coin minted before 1964 AD., and coins which do not contain silver. Yet the Constitution states in Article I, section 10 that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts". Congress does not have the power to coin money, Article 1, section 8, but since it can't make anything but gold and silver coins a ' tender for debts, nothing printed on paper is by Constitutional definition and federal law, legal tender or lawful money. This does not mean that personal checks, money orders and Federal Reserve kite notes are illegal. They are legal as long as they are convertible into lawful money (gold and silver). Yet, there is no law that says you must accept them if they are not redeemable in gold or silver coins. Therefore, any paper currency, not redeemable for lawful money at face value is not money. It's just as legal to use seashells, or stones as money as it is to use un-backed paper money! (Reference: “Leviathan 666” by Malachi Z. York).

The Central Banks and their financial emperors hijacked the United States currency ninety (94) years ago and the Federal Reserve System (a private group of Central Banks) were giving a license to print and issue United States currency at their discretion. The identities of the owners (CEO) of the Central Banks have remained a secret and will never be disclosed to the public.

This writer wonders do the American people asked themselves the questions, who do we owe these nine (9) trillion dollars, as far as addressing the national debt? They even give a figure that in order to resolve this debt each American would have to pay $29,944.72 Why do not these Central Bank emperors reveal themselves to the public? We are (meaning the entire world) in debt to the private international bankers who lends (sell and give orders on how much currency to print) money to the Federal Reserve at astronomical interest rates, which U.S. currency has no collateral backing as far as gold and silver. We should be preparing ourselves for one day the Central Banks/Money Changers are going call the debt in and it is going to be every man for himself and God for us all.

The Federal Reserve disguises itself as governmental agency that is operated and control under the auspices of the Executive Branch of government with oversight from the United States Congress (representatives of the American people), but in reality, the head of these Central Banks gives orders to the president and congress and answer to no one and the American taxpayers have been left holding the bag since 1913. The Constitution of the United States government stated, "Congress shall have the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof”. The regulation of money was not to fall into private hands for their own manipulation. This stipulation came about because wealthy bankers (many of whom are from foreign countries) have brought America deliberately into wars and depressions by the manipulation of currency and credit for their profit.

The U.S. dollar has become a medium of exchange with no value, it is only kept a float by strong United States political rhetoric and by the grace of the invisible MONEY CHANGERS who determines or should this writer say predetermine what the national and international stock markets success and failures are going to be. Thus, they give value to the, U.S. dollar, Yen, Rand, Hong Kong Dollar, CAD, Paso, Euro, Yuan, Frankfurt, etc., and determine the United States Stock Exchange trade indexes.

The establishment of the Federal Reserve System is unconstitutional and perhaps was the single most criminal act along with Federal Income Tax rules which both was found in 1913. Also, this writer has to rank the passing of the United States Patriot Act on the same plateau and equal in criminal intent, as was the establishment of the Federal Reserve. The United States people have handed over its monetary system to an Elite circle of Robber Barons and have compromised the sacred document known as the United States Constitution.

Eustace Mullins in his book titled, “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection” stated, “ The fact is that the government has never owned a single share Federal Reserve Bank stock. This charade stems from the fact that the. President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the name "Federal" from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an "elastic currency", read (rubber check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg founder and president of the International Acceptance Corporation and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Sec. 7 of Federal Reserve Act provides "Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived there from, shall be exempt from Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate."

This is the third article that this writer has written relative to revealing and exposing this power Elite; the first article was titled, “Who Rules America and Why Do They Hide?”, second article was titled, “The Hidden Hand and Their Quest For World Domination” and this third article titled, “The Money Changers: The Federal Reserve, Robbery by Deceit”. This might be my final article in this series, but this is not to suggest by any stretch that we have exhausted this subject. But who knows there is still so such much that needs to be uncovered and it would be considered derelict in my duty to the people, if this writer did not continue to use his pen to aid humanity in our quest for freedom, justice and equality.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE: A CRIMINAL CARTEL IN WHICH THE WORLD IS SILENT ABOUT

THE FEDERAL RESERVE: A CRIMINAL CARTEL IN WHICH THE WORLD IS SILENT ABOUT

By Fahim A. Knight-EL

No one wants to admit, especially not our elected politicians that the problem, which is destroying and ripping the United States and globe apart, is the Federal Reserve System, but this writer suspects that many of those who sit in congress and oversees the federal government has to know that the root of the economic and global woes are inextricably tied to how the Federal Reserve is allowed to function (the Fed functions with no rules and is all sovereign). However, to admit this fact and phenomena would automatically indict themselves and show forth their complicity in this criminal act. How about their oath of office in which they swore to uphold—defend and protect the United States Constitution against all foreign and domestic enemies, as well as observed the law. (Reference: YouTube Link Minister Louis Farrakhan:

All five hundred and thirty-four (534) congresspersons have violated their oath of office with the alone exception and dissenter being, the Republican Congressman Ron Paul (there might be a few others that have openly attested and protested the Federal Reserve). Some may agree with Paul in private, but lack the courage to stand front and center, to oppose by far, the most powerful entity in the world. Most politicians do what is considered politically expedient (it is not expedient to publically oppose Ben Bernanke—the godfather of banking and finance, if you desire to have a further political career) and are willing to be very opportunistic. If a politician can exploit a situation without bearing little to no negative personal consequences to extend their political life, then only is it worth the risk of venturing into certain waters. But to tackle the Federal Reserve could quickly short lease a politician who has aspirations of upward political mobility.

Some of my pundits and critics have deemed these type discussions as being old and/or obsolete because many have argued that the Internet has made this type information accessible and available to all. Moreover, in theory this might be true, but if you asked the average person of how the Federal Reserve and Central Banking systems functions; you might get a blank stare. I do agree that perhaps since the collapse of global economy many may have heard about these institutions from a surface perspective. But this writer is convince that 95% of the world's people still can not give you an intelligent response relative to understanding and knowing the inner workings of the Federal Reserve System.

Therefore, this writer does not view this topic as being exhaustive because of the many layers of deceptions which still begs to be decoded. We can not assume just because we may have come in contact with certain information and may have even internalized that information, but those that are in power, are often there, because of their ability to exploit the ignorance of the masses of the people (this is the formula to keeping them in power).

There is not a time that this writer does not pick up Eustace Mullins book titled "The Secret of the Federal Reserve" and or William Greider's book "Secrets of Temple" and walk away unchanged; each time this writer reads these timeless treatise more, and more are revealed, which I perhaps did not get in the first, second, third or even fourth time reading these treasured pieces. If it stands true that the masses have been exposed to this level of information and have failed to act on it, it then renders us latent and even active agents in our political, social, and economic demise. There is a war going on for the hearts and minds of humanity.

The greatest enemy to the freedoms of America and the international community is the Federal Reserve, it shrewdly connives and manipulate world events by manipulating the fluctuation of money; therefore constantly producing artificial crisis that is given life via the propaganda machines, which pit nations and people against each other, instigate racial and cultural differences amongst the people of the globe, antagonize religious differences—Muslims versus Christian, Jew versus Muslim, Catholic versus Protestant, Hindu versus Sikh, poor versus rich, black people versus white people, etc., this list by no means represents a complete list of the tricks and manipulation that the Federal Reserve and their arm of operatives play on humanity.

They are even behind sectarian conflicts of Sunni versus Shia and often it is their dirty invisible money that is backing both sides of these type internal conflicts. They truly do not give a damn about two religious peasants squabbling of religious dogma, as long as the ultimate objective still remains the same, divide and conquer. Their ultimate loyalty is to money and whichever side is propped up in power, it will be designed to serve their financial interest; winning is to be determined at any cost and does not matter which form of government is in power—all them will be subservient to the highest orders of the food chain. (Reference: YouTube Link Minister Louis Farrakhan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_She8KfelRg&feature=related

Carroll Quigley in his book “Tragedy and Hope” stated: “It was this group of people, whose wealth and influence so exceeded their experience and understanding, who provided much of the framework of influence which the communist sympathizers and fellow travelers took over in the United States in the 1930s. It must be recognized that the power that these energetic left-wingers exercised was never their own power or communist power but was the ultimately the power of the international financial coterie.” (Reference: Pat Roberson; “The New World Order;” p. 114. Quote lifted from Carroll Quigley; “Tragedy and Hope”).

The Federal Reserve always creates win--win situations for themselves and it is Ben Bernanke that's influencing the course of domestic and foreign policy (simply, he controls the money and the world's monetary reserve), it is not congress and it is not President Barack Obama—they are just visible pawns and low level operatives who are just following the script. (Reference: Congressman Ron Paul YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PC9fkLMZmo

This writer has said over and over again, that 9/11 was one of the most deceptive ploys and criminal acts ever to be recorded in human history—imagine the planning that went into staging an event like this and lining up all the players who would participate in the duping, as well as creating symbols of radical militant Islam and personalities such as Bin-Laden, et., and other pasties. The people are always left embracing the decoy, which leads them into senseless directions while the wickedly wise use their ignorance to further the global agenda and New World Order.

9/11 would be the event that the Federal Reserve would use to call the world's debt-in and justify their actions by imposing on the globe an economic induced artificial crisis (depression or recession) and us peasants are left squandering over a dead economic corpse/carcass and for good measure they threw in the likes of a Bernie Madoff to sooth our pain and misery. The ignorant found a sense of comfort by accepting Madoff as a scapegoat and in reality, you can line up a million Madoffs and their ponzi scams and they still will not factor into the level of thievery and criminal activity that those Invisible Forces who operate under the cloak of darkness and secrecy have committed against humanity.

Many even felt a sense of reprieved that some petty conman billionaire went to prison and do not realize that the Bernie Madoffs are just convenient fall guys, but the real criminals are faceless and nameless—they from time to time throw out the likes of Bernie Madoff as fresh meat in order to keep the masses pacified and content with their oppression. The Invisible Rulers crimes are protected under sovereign immunity and will never be brought into a so-called court of law. They used 9/11 to alter and change the world—led the people to believe that their national security was under attack—gave them government sanctioned terror alert color codes and every now and then, they manipulate these so-called various alerts by elevating the code to red and/or orange whether or not these threats are real or not the masses of people will never know. This writer believes that this is systematically done to send the masses of people into panic mode, it makes them more susceptible to being controlled.

For example, this is how the market is tied to their efforts to induce panic and fear; thus this writer witness last week, the former head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, I believe it was on CNN and he was talking about the so-called recent breach of airport security involving the allege terrorist suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Chertoff was given some good information about what the United States needed to do to improve airport security and the reporter said in all fairness Chertoff is a consultant for one of the hardware companies that makes the full body scanners. So immediately, I asked myself, was he really interested in providing homeland security and after the reporter revealed his hold card could I believe that he was being objective or was he just a low level operative that was hustling panic and fear to make money.

They had already after 9/11 used the U.S. Patriot Act and other executive orders to strip the American people of almost all their civil liberties and this recent event involving this young Nigerian is giving them more cause to eradicate some more civil liberties and guess what we will applaud their actions and view them as working in the interest of keeping us safe. They also are now revisiting the 9/11 Commission report in which they have already constructed the language in the Military Commission Act, Anti-Terrorism Bill, U.S. Patriot Act, etc., ridding us of the freedoms guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.

The real terrorist sits in the office of the Federal Reserve and he is the most dangerous entity on the planet—he rules the world with the stroke of a fountain pen and with a money printing press, which is more lethal than all the world arm forces and military capabilities put together. Bernanke does not have to fire a shot; he just withhold currency, flood the market with to much money, impose unbearable interest rates, create inflation—overvalue precious metals such as gold and silver and most of all determine who eats and who starves. This is just too much power for one individual to have over humanity.

Thus, after reading this article you should stop looking for some Islamic Middle Eastern terrorist to wreck havoc on the American people and the western world, but since we are looking for such characters; thus, for good measures the Invisible Rulers will throw in the likes of the Fort Hood Attack and Nidal Hasan and the so-called Nigerian born terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (who I believe is an innocent young pasty) and even have the ability to create a new Osama Bin Laden in Anwar al-Awlaki. May be after these recent events the State Department will put Nigeria on the terrorist nations watch list and upgrade them from 419 scam country of the world. This writer doesn’t know how committed they are to radical militant Islam, but they are masterful 419 scheme artists.

Most of this is orchestrated in part from the Federal Reserve because they are masters at fear baiting in which each crisis is calculated in terms of dollars and cents—they set the global stock markets around war, which is one of their greatest assets and intangible commodities; next to stealing and exploiting people's natural resources and labor, war is highly profitable—this is why there is no sense of urgency to leave Iraq (still plenty of oil money to be made) and the U.S. is definitely not leaving Afghanistan (huge opium and poppy plants markets; to much dope to be sold and to much money to be made in the western governments economies) no time soon and now they are creating this public perception that Yemen is the new hub for terrorist activity (if I did not know any better these wars, Islamic nations versus Christian western nations resembles the Crusade Wars of the 11th Century).

Most Americans are so ignorant they can not locate Yemen on the world map, but you will find many echoing the sentiments of their invisible masters—death to the people Yemen. This is the same cry that they are echoing against the nation of Iran and even the present internal conflicts in Iran is being exasperated by money changers and the international bankers, which brings us right back to the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve since its inception in 1913 was created by the international bankers to be impenetrable insulated by law and the world's treasures; this agency is more secret than the Central Intelligence Agency and unlike the CIA; it has no legal obligation to be transparent or answerable to the American people.

The United States Congress nor does the President of United States has the authority to intervene in the affairs of the Federal Reserve. This writer will not accept that this august body is oblivious and/or ignorant to the type of leverage and unconstitutional powers that the Federal Reserve possess. Thus, this writer is confident in making this statement because most of your congresspersons have often acquired a first class legal education from some of the top universities and colleges in America in which most of them are lawyers by training.

At the basis of our jurisprudence system lies the United States Constitution and having some understanding of the constitution is a perquisite to being an effective legal advocator and having the legal intellectual ability to interpreted the law and engage case law and legal precedents in order sway a jury or judge to consider the validity of an argument based on having the ability to meet certain standard of proof. Now, surely these legal counselors (U.S. Congresspersons) have read the U.S. Constitution where it plainly stated: "To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures". The U.S. Constitution pursuant to the above legal language did not grant congress a provision which to delegate our money system to any other agency or entity. This writer took a course entitled, Constitutional law, but the professors never delved into the question of the legality of the Federal Reserve, but looking back this writer wonders why. (Reference: Congressman Ron Paul YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gldETRlhiXk

Andrew Gause stated "My contention is that the Federal Reserve Act was put into place in order for the wealth of the United States to be stripped and transferred to Britain so that she would be able to win World War 1 . . .behind the scenes, the banking powers in the U.S. wanted to help the British all they could, so they created this wonderful Federal Reserve System with its private notes, calling it the money of the United States, then loaning it to Great Britain, while at the same time circulating it here at home. Then on through the Twenties, when the war was over all the money created by the Fed came home to roost.” (Reference: Andrew Gause; "The Secret World of Money”; p. 90.).

Gause continued: “If you question whether the real purpose of the Federal Reserve was, initially, to provide England with funds to fight World War One, ask this question: Hadn't the English banking interests been to institute the Federal Reserve System for the previous 100 years? Clearly they had control of U.S. monetary policy. The Rothschilds had control of the United States' monetary system through the House of Morgan" (Reference: Andrew Gause; "Secret World of Money”; p. 90.).

I am quite sure they have heard the sentiments of Congressman Dr. Ron Paul on Capitol Hill relative to the Federal Reserve. So this writer believes that the problem has been well defined, but no ones seems to be anxious or even willing to offer a solution to reeling this out of control monster in and it is even sadder that our elected officials will not even engage in a debate relative to evaluating and assessing the present day necessity and relativity of such an agency called the Federal Reserve system that was empowered by the Federal Reserve Act.

The manner in which the Federal Reserve system functions make the Italian Mafia appear as child's play because in many instances the Mafia and their bosses have been reeled into Federal Courts where many throughout American history have stood trial and were convicted of violating U.S. law (some of the Mob bosses appeared to be untouchable). However, the U.S. legal system for the most part, did not allow the Mafia criminals that went afoul of the law to appear beyond criminal prosecution and often the long arm of the U.S. jurisprudence system eventually caught up with them. We were told early on that there was no one above the law, but this writer would later find out that this axiom was not true and there existed a sector of Elitist individuals that were above the law and functioned outside of all nations jurisprudence systems (even on a lower level, money determines how justice is dispensed, in particular in the United States and believe me justice is not blind).

Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chairman is willfully and intentionally breaking U.S. law every time he gives the Federal Reserve consent to create money out of thin air and flood the domestic market and the global market knowingly with worthless paper that in of itself has no value, it is an act of conspiracy against the American people and most of all it violates the United States Constitution.

This writer witness 60 Minutes CBS television news show this past summer, which was
allowed to take their cameras into the chambers of the Federal Reserve board meeting room and the public for perhaps the first time got a look at the architecture style and decorum of this solemn edifice. But after the interview with Bernanke, it was clear to me that the seat of power was there and not the oval office in the White House; However, Bernanke did not agree to allowing 60 Minutes to shoot a clip of its board meetings or allow these investigative reporters access to the minutes from the Federal Reserve Board meetings. If President Obama was really trying to solve America’s problems he would start with the ending the Federal Reserve and 50% of world’s problems also would be solved overnight

No system should be allowed to function inside America, a so-called Democratic society without any checks and balances. The Federal Reserve is perhaps the only system that possesses this type of unmitigated latitude, which makes it undemocratic and fundamentally wrong. If the Federal Reserve was not over and responsible for the overall management of the U.S. currency system, which ties it directly to the heart and soul of our society, it would be more acceptable and perhaps even viewed with less suspicion. If it was a government agency, at least it would be mandated to have some level of transparency. But it has the highest level of federal responsibility, although it is a private entity that is not bound or binding by the United States governmental processes. (Reference: Minister Louis Farrakhan YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pVq7BZj3aU&feature=related

The Federal Reserve does not have to seek executive, legislative, or judicial consent to determine U.S. and global monetary policy. It just says, be and it is. Ben Bernanke does not have to telephone the president of the United States in which to prior inform him that he has decided to raise or lower interest rates. The president like all other Americans receives the daily Federal Reserve monetary decisions from the mass medium outlets—he may have to even read about it in the Washington Post, Washington Times or hear about it on CNN or Internet.

Thus, often what the Federal Reserve does effects the political course of foreign policy—war and peace is at their disposal. The biggest deception, is that even in 2010 most Americans still think and believe that the Federal Reserve is “federal” agency, which is ran and operated by the U.S. Government. This is the furthest thing from the truth; this all powerful agency from its inception in 1913 has been a private corporation; in fact the Federal Reserve is a government that functions inside a government, it is a supreme government, but functions very separate and apart from the United States sovereignty. But its power and authority is recognized on a daily basis by all the nations on earth. (Reference: Congressman Ron Paul YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY_7aq8EFC4

William Greider author of “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country” stated: “Eventually, the political hegemony of money must end. As history had demonstrated again and again, the economic system could not forever endure stable money. Sooner or later, the pendulum must move back in the other direction, either gradually or violently, if people wished to restore a vigorously expanding economy. If financial speculation and the developing vulnerabilities did indeed reach a climactic point of collapse, the shift in political values might be quite sudden. The confident money orthodoxy that had dominated the decade would be smashed in a single illuminating moment, its illusion of stability finally exposed by the deeper fundamentals that had always been present.” (Reference: William Greider; “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country;” p.715).
