Do we have a Choice?
Sep 27th, 2008 by Randy Toman
Depending who you are listening to and /or reading you hear things like this, we are going to pull through, with people adding twists like the economy is fine or the economy is still growing at a reasonable rate, we can grow ourselves out of this mess. Or we hear; if only we could get government out of it, and keep them from sticking their noses into the financial markets and leave “Capitalism” work everything will be all right. It was government who forced high-risk mortgages on the “Banking Industry” and the “Federal Reserve” therefore we have a much higher dimension of risk added because of government intervention. Finally, we come to “Bail out” or “Not to Bail out”.
I would submit to you that “Bail Out” or “No Bail Out” is in no way an answer to this problem. How can you all be that simple and/or ignorant to believe that bailing anything out with $700 billion will help anything, something of this magnitude anyway. Or flipping the coin over by saying we shall not bail them out and think this is in someway a kind of solution. This problem is considerably deeper than any of those simple solutions.
I’m surprised at the number of people that have come up to me and have started talking politics with me. The last incident occurred Friday 9/26/08 PM when a young man came up, who I knew, and appear to really be concerned with the economic conditions and the choices of candidates for president. With that said, let me just focus on one aspect of the conversation “Economics”. He was surprised when I said; the “Federal Reserve” is a private banking enterprise and not part of the government and we, as citizens do not have any say in it. He looked at me with total disbelief and all he could say was “Get out”.
I quickly said, yes, it was brought in under President Wilson back in 1913-14 along with our income tax. The Bankers wanted that protection so as to know the Federal Government would always have the ability to pay them through taxation of the citizens. Well that brought another “Get Out”. Seeing it was leading me into deep waters I quickly said, check it out for yourself on the Internet. With that I thought it best to break off the conversation because his body language told me he was in disbelief and he was about to take his disbelief and disappointment out on me, with a; What the H— are you talking about? I quickly closed with, why don’t you do some reading on the subject and we can talk again.
I tell you this little encounter with my young friend for two reasons.
1/ I believe this lack of insight and knowledge of what has occurred since President Wilson’s watch is wide spread among the people. And without knowledge of what has happen we cannot correct anything.
2/ Without addressing the total perverted scheme that evilness has gotten us into nothing will be corrected and we will not have a shifting to the “Old Paths”.
Jeremiah 6:16 King James Bible
“Thus saith the Lord; Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the “old paths, where is the good way, walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said; we will not walk therein.”
We not only will not walk therein but worse we have no leaders to show us the righteous paths of the Lord, let alone get us out of this mess.
