The good intentions are the selling point.  However, this system puts the power of a nation into a single hand — whoever controls the issuance of currency controls the nation.  American colonists issued their own script interest-free — it is telling that the British soon sent their military.  Abraham Lincoln also issued currency interest-free — he did not survive the War, and neither did the Greenbacks.  Understand that the central bankers call themselves Governors — because they DO govern.  Whoever has the gold makes the rules, and all the 'money' coming from them have terms and conditions for its use.  Yes the British monarchy has many glorious accomplishments using the same techniques as Keynes — indeed, you must have the power to declare your word as good as gold.  In England the word of the King is law.  In America, there are not supposed to be Kings or rulers — WE are each the sovereigns without any subjects.  When we have the Chairman of the Federal Reserve declare how much it will cost to rent money this year — and how much you owe of the unpayable debt — you have a governor of all, rich and poor.  They own your 'obligations' to them and you will pay or else.  History tells the tale.

Booms and busts — that is what a fiat currency borrowed into existence promotes, while the bankers get a piece of the action in both directions.  Expansions and contractions in the money supply are what cause these booms and busts.  Bankers practically give the new money away in the beginning, then end up seizing massive amounts of property from those that had the musical chair pulled out from them.  Over and over and over — such that the nation's entire money supply is being rented in perpetuity, the only change being the negotiation of the terms of a forever unpayable debt.  That's the game.

Right on!

This circular logic goes nowhere.  "Irreason" is not even a word.  "Ignorance" is not a lack of knowledge per se, but the 'ignoring' of facts.  It is not so much that you are unknowledgeable it's just that your information and thus your conclusions are incomplete (or just plain untrue) — an educated man can very easily be an ignorant man.  True reason cannot take sides other than to pursue the truth.  What do you do when the truth is in opposition with your sacred cows?

Franklin and the rest of the Continental Congress just passed the resolution to declare independence from England unanimously.  Either they all stand and fight for the Declaration of Independence or be hanged as traitors to the Crown.

I don't see the contradiction.  The following sentence not included in the quote does not negate it, nor is it evidence of an intent to mislead the reader.  The government being the "employer of last resort" would be nothing more than the Fed being the "lender of last resort" — the Fed now being the issuer of all currency for the country, why would government labor not do the same thing?  A central bank creating money out of nothing and then charging interest for it is the very core of communism.  And Keynes well knows it.
Keynesian government is a labor racket! Paper pushers, administrators, regulators, collectors, counters, and all the support staff required -- producing NOTHING, consuming almost everything. And that's what governments have become.

Who could have contemplated the lengths they would go to thwart Trump at every turn with the MSM leading the charge?  4 years later, Hillary still hasn't conceded the election and the Democrats are taking their game to new depths. 

The burlesque and travesty has only just begun. ;-)

Thankfully, the incompetence of Obama and the Democratic House and Senate couldn't push through the agenda they had been promising for eons.  Trump has done more in one term than any president in history IMHO and while facing off a hostile Congress and the Deep State.  The 2020 election is going to be an epic display of blatant corruption.  It will be a test of the nation's soul.

Hanging chads will be nothing compared to the 2020 mail-in ballot fiasco already unfolding.  What a hot mess.

What a hot mess the 2020 elections are going to be!

She isn't lying.  As long as the "election product" is "credible" she has done her job.  In other words, she was hired to fix election results.  But she wasn't very good at it, and her "election products" over the years were less and less credible.  Voter fraud is very real and has been for decades.  Ballot tampering is a tried a true tactic of corrupt politicians since the first lot was cast.

Can an election be stolen?  We are about to find out!

The US Constitution was originally formed as a rule book for the government, not the people.  In time, the tone and context shifted to positivist law yoking the people with duties and obligations to transfer labor and property to the government.  We've come a long way, baby.

No, no, no, Waffler.  It is the individual's right to self-determination and includes the right to associate with others, but it does not subjugate the individual to the group.  The majority cannot vote away the rights of another — that is the key difference between a democracy and a republican form of government.  A government of We the People can only assign powers to our representatives to protect our inalienable rights — they have no power to 'rule' any more than your neighbor has the power to rule you.  Because of evil in the world, we must be on our guard against consolidated power which historically has been the enslavement of the people under a ruling class holding all the power.

The confusion occurs because the US government now acts as a clearing house for its central bank, and the people are 'voting' for a piece of the treasury upon any number justifications.  The result is a mountain of unpayable debt and civil strife as the classes fight over the money, demanding better conditions of their servitude.  Centralized power has always been the danger.

The epitome of this has been displayed in Biden rallies — a circle drawn on the floor with a chair in it separated by other circles 6 feet apart.  "For your own security, sit here, read this, say this."  That is truly how the elites see us.

This is what gets progressive liberals elected.  Once in office they then do exactly what they warned the opposition would do.  1913 was a bad year for the world, in no small thanks to Wilson and his ushering in central banking upon the Western world.

Holy Hell, did this age badly...

Clinton lost, remember?

Character comes first, all else will follow.

Has propaganda ever been more in-your-face blatant?  Trump has literally pulled back the curtain.  He has taken on the establishment and the Deep State, and the devil is squirming, pulling out all the stops, using every trick in the book.  Keep it going, America, this is YOU!!

15 years later...

I am a big supporter of individual awakening in "Christ Consciousness" rather than the institutionalism of the Word.  The truth sets us free, not yokes us for collective power.  Fellowship is the voluntary association of people for a purpose.  Depending on the purpose, I can offer my power as well, but it is my choice, and there are always 'consequences' for those choices.  I honor and respect that.

I can't imagine home-schooling your children only to send them to a socialist Ivy League college.  Firstly, it is not worth the money, secondly, there is nothing to learn there that you couldn't learn on your own reading and writing books.

No doubt, Reston, has never even been in contact with a home-schooled child.  I home-schooled our children as well.  I suppose my biggest complaint about the education system is that we have institutionalized the populace!  We are being prepared for a lifetime sitting at a desk. We are merely plugged in to the machine.  The power of the group is so seductive, we will exchange our individuality for a share in that power.  Our pleasures are all associated with power now.  It is not enough that our cup runneth over, we must ever pursue more and more and more power.  It is a mad dash for the musical chairs leaving only one in a seat of power.  All we have to do is look at the product of today's colleges to see the programming our children have been subject to for 20 years.
