It should be clear to anyone with common sense that the notion “freedom doesn’t work so we need more government intervention” is totally absurd. As we have seen from our review of the Communist Manifesto (see American Crisis Part 2) that we have been moving toward a government/banking cartel-controlled country for over 100 years. We have had every single plank of the Communist Manifesto fully or partially implemented now for many decades. Most of our so called freedoms are really an illusion and that illusion is perpetuated by the media and educational system.
The influence of the banking cartel over the decades has directly or indirectly influenced every major decision our government has made for 95 years. It should be clear to anyone who is watching recent events that the ruling elite in Washington and the central bankers control our established political parties and our media. The one good thing about the recent bailout battle is that it showed how the leadership of both parties worked together, for their masters at the FED, to defeat the will of the people using intimidation, coercion, threats, and outright bribery to get their bill passed.
