No surprise there. And occasionally one or another of them gets nailed as a sort of public show that "justice is being done". That's all bs. There is never parity between what they have stolen and the "consequences" they then face. And most are never brought to account at all. That makes sense snes they own most of the lawmakers in our supposed "democracy".<br /><br />This state of affairs also ignores the real crime: The U.S. money supply is almost exclusively issued by private banks, who then "loan" that money to the federal government, and charge them a hefty interest rate for the money. The banks are providing absolutely no value at all for the money they collect via this obscene arrangement. All the banks do is make an accounting entry on their books, and then sit back and collect the interest, which ultimately we all pay. Hardly anyone even knows that this is how things work. Henry Ford once said that if the American people knew what the bankers really did there would be a revolution before morning. I think that is true. Want the details? Read "The Web Of Debt" by Ellen Hodgson Brown, J.D. It really spills the beans on this ongoing massive scam. By the way, the very few presidents who have tried to change this and have the federal government issue its own money have faced often fatal opposition from the bankers. Lincoln is an example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
