		<description><![CDATA[BTW Dick, I am aware of Glenn Beck&#039;s long-discredited sources, such as W. Cleon Skousen and Elizabeth Dilling.  You&#039;re going to have to do better than the dry drunk radio DJ.  

The reason why you don&#039;t like &quot;intellectuals&quot; is because in the real world, history, politics, and economics are complicated.  You want a black and white world with good guys and bad guys.  Intellectuals ruin your day because it turns out that there isn&#039;t some secret cabal of men running everything.  Who will you blame for your failure if not them? 

So again- EVIDENCE Dick, let&#039;s see some.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dick, you need to present evidence of your claims.  Especially this:  &quot;We are just now learning that the Fed bailed out EUROPEAN banks in September 2008. WHY? Because the Fed is out of American government control. America is run by an international oligarchy and Obama is just its puppet.&quot;

You suggest a &quot;vacation&quot; from the intellectuals. Ok, WHO are the intellectuals- I want names, and I want to know who we SHOULD listen to?  Some radio DJ? Some guy with a snazzy website?  

Evidence Dick. Stop whining and produce evidence of your claims.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s your point, Beverly? Are you buying the author&#039;s assertion that folks opposed to the Federal Reserve Act are Jew-haters? It is mainly the left who keep the stereotype intact by blaming fiscally reponsible citizens for Jew-hating because it keeps their agenda going. 

The psudo-intellectuals that frequntly appear here also mislead you with colorful, long winded, big word arguments. If you counter them they call you stupid or racist.  

One of their most hated and frequently attacked personalities is Glenn Beck. Ask yourself why?

Glenn Beck is a bumbling, emotional nobody who has become the left&#039;s # 1 enemy. How? He accepted opportunities when they were extended, educated himself and then started to educate the nation like no other. This former boozer/junkie didn&#039;t attend the ivy league schools, has no credentials and does not claim any special intellectual gifts. Yet he has grown in influence enough to strike fear into the elitists enough that Media Matters has declared war on him. When you are that dispised by your enemies, you are a powerful opponent. And Beck will remain so as long as he brings the truth to light and asks you to check his facts. 

The intellectuals will tell you what the &quot;facts&quot; are with big words. And if you wish to consider thier opponents views, they will attack that personality viciously. YOU MUST LEARN FROM LIBERAL INTELLECTUALS ONLY. Otherwise, how will they enslave you? 

By the way. Terms like &quot;sub-intellegent&quot; and &quot;under sized brains&quot; are how people with no argument describe folks who disagree with them. If you really want to learn something of value, try a little vacation from the intellectuals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s fascinating how so many sub-intelligent people think that all Jews are rich and all Jews are just rolling in dough.  These Neanderthals are convinced in their undersized brains that Jews control all newspapers, banks, media, etc.  Then why, I wonder why I, a Jew, lives on less than $20,000 a year from Social Security?  I had an ill child and because he had a pre-existing disease and we had no insurance but STILL a gentile bank STOLE MY 401(k) by DELIBERATELY waiting several weeks while the value of my stocks tumbled; but I would still have only had less than $100,000 which is not enough for a decent retirement as anyone above the  IQ level of 75 knows.

Twenty-five percent of Israelis live in poverty and most Jews world-wide are poor, dirt poor.  The lies and myths that are spread about Jewish money are usually spread by ignorant losers i this life.  They can&#039;t make it in the world so they have to decide who they think they want to hate.  Anyone who isn&#039;t white, of course, anyone who  speaks with an accent (the government gives them lots of money to start businesses to keep the real white man down, you know)...even Jews who are Caucasian are not considered &quot;white&quot; for some reason.  The morons think Jews are a separate &quot;race.&quot;  That we are NOT. We are a nation and a people.  We include EVERY race and every color.  Judaism is open to anyone who decides to live as a Jew, it is not a private club.

About the main thing that separates us from our gentile neighbors is the way many of us eat, we do not believe in Jesus, and we do not accept that there is a &quot;new testament&quot; as it was prohibited in the last book of the Torah (Deuteronomy 4;2).  But financially, we&#039;re no different; some Jews are wealthy, the majority are not, just as our non-Jewish neighbor and friends.

We have won our share and more of Nobel prizes and have invented or improved.  Recently, Israeli doctors have invented a radiation free lung x-ray device that can spot anything in the lungs and soon will be used to detect heart defects.  Add to that the device will be able to be used by any doctor, it will eliminate trips to specialists! They invented the Pentium chips and the Celeron chips at Intel&#039;s plant in Israel.  Cellphone technology was perfected in, yup, Israel.  Like to wear jeans?  Two Jews invented the cloth that is used in them.  The list of Jewish and Israeli inventions is longer than you can believe.

Are you old enough to remember the fear of Polio?  A Jewish doctor not only invented the cure but did not patent it with the remark, &quot;Would you try to patent the sun?&quot;

Jews give to charity in amounts that exceed what is considered &quot;normal.&quot;  When the terrible earthquake happened in Haiti, Israel was there first with a complete hospital that made any M*A*S*H look like a doctor&#039;s office. The Israelis ALWAYS help one way or the other.

Are they keeping the Arabs (who call themselves Palestinians--a term used to mean Jews in Israel) prisoners in their own land?  No.  Their governments are.   The billions of dollars that have been wasted on them have been used by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to do as much damage to Israel that they can.  OVER 700 ROCKETS HAVE BEEN LOBBED INTO ISRAEL THIS YEAR ALONE, KILLING AND WOUNDED CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN WHO WERE DOING NOTHING BUT TRYING TO LIVE.  Oh, what&#039;s that, you haven&#039;t read anything about that?  Of course not. The media is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Arabs and if a reporter reports the truth, a fatwah is issued and they are DEAD.

Israel wants peace; the Arabs want piece...exactly the same size and shape of the entire State of Israel.  Israel has no peace partner with which to talk.  NONE.  Just as soon as Israel made a concession, the Arabs raise the stakes and raise and raise.  Israel cannot cede one more centimeter of land to the Arabs because they will just take it to attack Israel.

Jews have, for nearly 3,000 years, been hated and shunned because our way of life is moral.  Hitler wanted to wipe us off the earth because of our moral codes just as we have been persecuted since we left Egypt.

Eventually, the world will come to a knowledge of the one God; that will be the day peace will reign on this planet.  Util then...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paranoia mixed with a penchant for simplistic answers.

&quot;The above quote from Mortin’s article implies that those who oppose the Federal Reserve do so because the bankers are Jewish.&quot;

No, it records the fact that those who complain about &quot;Jewish bankers&quot; typically have an anti-semitic bent to most of their government and economic theories as you suggest with your &quot;European (Rothschild) and American (Rockefeller) banking interests who conceived the idea and made it happen.&quot;

Over 6 million innocent people were slaughtered in our recent history due to drivel of this type.  

1.  &quot;Nor is the Federal Reserve a result of capitalism. In fact, it was established to banish capitalism.&quot;

2.  &quot;The only difference between an oligarchy and communism is the degree of perception and implementation. &quot;

Really? 

I find it really interesting as well that those who partake of these lunatic theories and ideas always wish to hide from them and pass them off as mainstream. 

Hence, the above writer&#039;s dismay when the article notes that most of the liberty currency buyers are noted to be members of the nut fringe, &quot;And this quote, which precedes the former, assigns the popularity of the liberty currency to “sovereign citizens”, which Mortin bases solely on appearance; appearance to whom?&quot;

Or when Mortin points out that anti-semitic themes seem to run rampant among these groups, &quot;Thank God there are some Jewish bankers among them or SPLC would not have an avenue to pin anti-Semitism on those they oppose.&quot;  

Even little kids learn so enough that flapping your hands in the air and waving, &quot;I didn&#039;t do it! Not me!&quot; doesn&#039;t work well when you&#039;ve got the evidence all over yourself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Nor is the Federal Reserve a result of capitalism. In fact, it was established to banish capitalism. The Fed was designed to set up an oligarchy and it was European (Rothschild) and American (Rockefeller) banking interests who conceived the idea and made it happen.&quot;

That&#039;s hilarious.  You don&#039;t even know what capitalism means do you?  Capitalism requires credit, central banking ensures a more stable economy.  Do you have any idea what banking in America was like prior to the Federal Reserve?  Banks failed all the time, and banks could refuse the money you had at will.  Also your conspiracy theory is compelling but wrong.

&quot;The only difference between an oligarchy and communism is the degree of perception and implementation. An oligarchy controls the wealth by manipulating production and welfare behind the scenes. Communism is much more blatant in that it needs no stealth. Both systems result in the elimination of a middle class. &quot;

Dick, you don&#039;t know what Communism or capitalism are.  This is what happens when you go to Glenn Beck University.  You get idiotic conspiracy theories.  Oligarchy is a natural tendency of capitalism.  This consolidation can be observed throughout history.  Your conspiracy theories can&#039;t.

<p>That&#8217;s hilarious.  You don&#8217;t even know what capitalism means do you?  Capitalism requires credit, central banking ensures a more stable economy.  Do you have any idea what banking in America was like prior to the Federal Reserve?  Banks failed all the time, and banks could refuse the money you had at will.  Also your conspiracy theory is compelling but wrong.</p>
<p>&#8220;The only difference between an oligarchy and communism is the degree of perception and implementation. An oligarchy controls the wealth by manipulating production and welfare behind the scenes. Communism is much more blatant in that it needs no stealth. Both systems result in the elimination of a middle class. &#8221;</p>
<p>Dick, you don&#8217;t know what Communism or capitalism are.  This is what happens when you go to Glenn Beck University.  You get idiotic conspiracy theories.  Oligarchy is a natural tendency of capitalism.  This consolidation can be observed throughout history.  Your conspiracy theories can&#8217;t. </p>
<p>Enlightened, anyone?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The common denominator: challenging the authority of the federal government to tax and regulate, along with the notion that the Federal Reserve is controlled by private Jewish bankers.&quot;

The above quote from Mortin&#039;s article implies that those who oppose the Federal Reserve do so because the bankers are Jewish. It may be because the Fed is corrupt. Thank God there are some Jewish bankers among them or SPLC would not have an avenue to pin anti-Semitism on those they oppose.

&quot;But most buyers, (of the liberty currency) it appears, came from the ranks of anti-tax or radical “sovereign citizen” movements.&quot;

And this quote, which precedes the former, assigns the popularity of the liberty currency to &quot;sovereign citizens&quot;, which Mortin bases solely on appearance; appearance to whom?

The Federal Reserve System is NOT controlled by any government branch. Its 7 directors are appointed to 14 year terms by the President after which they do as they please. The only control the U.S. government has over the Fed is to refuse to print the dollars they demand. But that has NEVER happened in its 100 year history.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Store gift cards have “real exchnge value” and are not U.S. Currency.&quot;

And do not claim to be such.  Store gift cards are also used for private businesses, not some kind of underground economy.

&quot; Hide them if you have conservative veiws. You will be arrested.&quot;

Yes, poor conservatives are so persecuted.

&quot; As for The Federal reserve, there is nothing federal about it. It is a consortium of private, global banking interests–jewish and not. So if you oppose the global banking interests and they move a few more Jewish bankers in there, then you can be an anti-semite as well.&quot;

Incorrect. The Federal Reserve is made up of private but AMERICAN banks, with some government oversight. That the business of private banks is affected by the global economy is a natural effect of capitalism- this cannot be changed without overthrowing the whole mode of production. 

It is interesting that you feel the need to highlight Jews in banking, and not Chinese, Arabs, Indians, Koreans, etc.  Of course the typical anti-Semite assumes that while others involved in something like banking are just in it for the money, Jews are in it because they have some collective, ulterior motive.  Do enlighten us on that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many individuals or corporations were criminally prosecuted for causing the financial crisis of 2008?  

&quot;There&#039;s nothing illegal about this,&quot; Dickens said after the Treasury Department&#039;s legal team reviewed the currency. &quot;As long as it doesn&#039;t say legal tender there&#039;s nothing wrong with it.&quot;
http://web.archive.org/web/20050206204646/www.libertydollar.org/html/articles/gillis.htm

&quot;If these (NORFED) people want to issue their own money, so be it. It will be interesting to see what the public thinks,&quot; Rolnick said [director of research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis].
http://web.archive.org/web/20050206211423/www.libertydollar.org/html/articles/stromnes.htm

&quot;It&#039;s not counterfeit money,&quot; concurs Ron Legan, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Seattle, Wash., Secret Service field office. Having investigated this regulatory matter closely, he concludes that the silver certificates are well within the highly restrictive boundaries of American monetary guidelines. &quot;We determined there wasn’t a federal currency violation,&quot; he explains. Although Legan concedes to being &quot;skeptical&quot; of NORFED, he admits there have been no &quot;defrauds&quot; or &quot;complaints&quot; filed against the political organization.

		<description><![CDATA[It would be interesting to read the fine print of the indictment. Unless NutHouse was passing off his coins and bills as &quot;real&quot; currency -- i.e. legal tender -- I don&#039;t know what the crime is. Lots of companies make commemorative coins and bills, and some even make a political statement. And seizing stored coins owned by thousands of customers seems like overreaching. If the coins were stored, then by definition they were not in &quot;currency&quot; and were not being used as legal tender. They may have been just collectibles or a way of owning a precious metal for investment purposes.]]></description>

I can&#8217;t print something represented as CURRENCY. THAT is unlawful in every nation on the face of the Earth.<br />
That said, I&#8217;d LOVE to acquire a few bills, even IF they&#8217;re stamped by the government as counterfeit. To be put on display as an idiocy award for the counterfeiter.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[James,
No, I don&#039;t think it is a violent crime, but it is still quite illegal (the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government the sole right to mint currency), and it is considered &#039;domestic terrorism&#039; because it is an attack on one of the United States federal government&#039;s constitutional powers.]]></description>
