Furthermore we have no gold reserves whatsoever, supposedly we still have 8 tonnes left (after the Rothschilds' Fed Res got fed on gold certificates taking 25 tonnes down to 8) but the one time Senators actually were pressured into checking up on it they went down and saw what appeared to be a single wall of gold bars and said 'yea, looks like we got it' they didn't count it, they didn't assay it! Truth is we are absolutely broke, and you look at the rest of the world the only way out is to take back the country and use the military to slaughter those banking pigs!!! =) (sorry for the crap

highest debt both public and external of any nation on the planet. Furthermore we have no gold reserves whatsoever, supposedly we still have 8 tonnes left (after the Rothschilds' Fed Res got fed on gold certificates taking 25 tonnes down to 8) but the one time Senators actually were pressured into checking up on it they went down and saw what appeared to be a single wall of gold bars and said 'yea, looks like we got it' they didn't count it, they didn't assay it! Truth is we are absolutely broke, and you look at the rest of the world the only way out is to take back the country and use the military to slaughter those banking pigs!!! =)&nbsp; </p> Fri Nov 10, 2006 1:33 pm Sponsor funzone36 Joined: 26 Mar 2006 Posts: 707 Location: Toronto,Canada (biggest Canadian city) Making more arms and spending more money on the military will only make their account deficit go higher.

I have to disagree, the money was stolen via the Rothschilds, so all you need to basically do is just steal it back. The paper money doesn't matter (paper is worthless anyway) at the end as all balances owed to the Rothschild and associated bankers will get zeroed out. Really it's just re-claiming what's ours anyway and we wipe out the bankers and their assets in the process, then redo a monetary system based on silver. If you can imagine a kind of de facto price on their head as a reward for brining in the world criminals we are probably talking a 30+ trillion dollar pricetag on the head of the Rothschilds. Whatever you spend on the way will pale in comparison.

They are already building up there new host: Europe. What else should parasites do anyway? America has nothing to steal anymore; gold is gone, natural recources are almost gone, the wealth of the people is gone too and the enviroment is dying..... Ancient Babylon, Egypt and Rome were already brought down by the same infection a long time ago! They moved first from Babylon to Egypt, than from Egypt to Rome.

Well said! and along with stealing the wealth & resources let's not forget the systematic brainwashing of the population through mainstream media, religion, celebrity and sports worship. After Europe i'm sure they will be heading to China as it's in the process of being fattened up for the zionist pigs to devour.

All of that debt means several things a) America has consumed a hell of a lot of the world's resources (in fact more than any other country...obviously true) b)additionally the fact that America has so much external debt indicates other countries willingness to invest in it's economy.... also true as after WWII America was the #1 recipient of FDI (foreign direct investment) which continued until recently when India and China beat it out (due to massive human capital).. America is now #3. The world's willingness to invest in America's lucrative capitalist society is the factor that has led to such enourmous debt... but the debt is more of a technicality because wealth is also measured in assets and when it comes to those, America is the dominating country bar none. If you honestly think America is poor then you have no clue what poverty is. For one thing, you're about 100 times more likely to find a morbidly fat American than a starving one, much of the rest of the globe is not so fortunate-- 1.2 billion people live on less than 1$ a day and 2.7 billion people on less than 2$ about 1 billion are chronically malnourished and some 50,000 die each day from poverty... virtually none of them in America. I can almost guarantee that you will find all of these people in nations on the bottom two tiers of the Human Development Index (USA is on the highest tier). Is USA the richest country in the world? Depends on how you measure, it is certainly the most economically powerful. For instance if you look at only per capita GDP you'd find that Luxembourg is the richest nation with GDP of something like 35,000$ whereas USA has about 27,500$.. but then again USA is 300-million people (3rd largest country population in the world) while Luxembourg is more than 600 times smaller with population around 480,000.... and Luxembourg doesn't exactly have an annual Fed budget of around 2.5tril$$$. America also has WAY more billionaires than any other country with I think 371 of them. Why does US have such debt?? Because it CONSUMES CONSUMES CONSUMES... in fact... that's what the whole society is based on... devouring the earth and utilizing resources as infinitely beyond necessity as is humanly possible... Nobel Lauriete Amrtya Sen demonstrated that the #1 cause of hunger in the modern world is poverty and not a physical shortage of food (there's enough food)... so why are there so many fat Americans??? These are the questions you should be asking... why does Somalia have per capita GDP of $500??? Why does America spend more every year on military than it does in 25 years combined fighting against global poverty and disease?? (US appropriates less than 1% of it's Fed budget each year to the latter 2). $477 billion is 2007 US military budget... that's more than the all the runners up (in order of spending) China, Russia, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Italy, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, Israel, Netherlands, Spain, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Myanmar COMBINED!!!.... Oh yeah.. and we bombed Spomalia the other day... Why are there so many American billionaires while people are starving in Burkina Faso??? Why is America the #1 producer of greenhouse gases leading to Global Warming??-- Helping to cause severe drought in Africa and virtually dry up the once 6th largest lake in the world: Lake Chad (in an area that already had significant water problems)-- going from more than 26,000 square kil. in 1960 to about 1,540 square kil. today (at least half of this was caused by drought).... But don't worry!!! Laura Bush will save the day with a a few million in spending and some play pumps!!! Laura to the rescue!! Well... so this is the end of my rant... I'm just saying.. sure.. we don't have gold reserves anymore.. sure we have external debt.. but what's the difference?? 20% of the world consumes 86% of the world's resources.. and of course America is the fattest hog around... next time, before you decide that a nation is poor.. simply rub your eyes and notice the difference between those caked in lard and those in miserable pain in the midst of starvation... in today's world that is an easy enough gauge to distinguish the haves from the have-nots. The simple truth is that America is a greedy lard-bucket... to say anything else while people are starving unnecessarily in Sri Lanka is simply an insult to humanity.

It provides a deep insight in how the Devils choosen people generally act and think. His crypto-name was Flavius something (or something like that), he was to become the richest man the ancient world had ever seen. The creation of "firefighters" was one of the reasons he became so rich. Flavius used slaves for "fire-squads", he than sent thugs to set fire on property in Rome which he wanted to obtain. When the fire was burning, he came with his "fire-squads" "offering" the owner of the burning property the choice between watching his property burning down and loosing all or selling it for far less than a quarter of it's original value. When the owner sold, the fire-squads put out the fire. That's how Jew's came to dominate ancient Rome completly. That was bevore they enpowered Julius Caesar to end the Roman Republic. Pretty much the same that happened to the US Republic.

People without money tend to grow their own food which is healthier. People with little money tend to save money by using coupons, free samples, recycling etc. These people put less money into the government through taxes and live as good or better than people who think they're rich.

They're never going to spend it all. why not help someone LIVE? and espescially professional sport players. why are they getting millions of dollars to hit a ball into a hole or tackle some other guy? my opinion Mon Jun 25, 2007 1:37 pm imaculate Joined: 22 Sep 2007 Posts: 36 going going gone America i indeed poor but it is by design and not by evolution, there can be no NWO while AMErica is strong they will walk on the bones of America to resurrenct the NWO what is more saddening is that the coming financial breakdown the final blow to America will be devastating to all Americans AMericans are maxd out in debt their govt is maxed out in debt they have passed off known loses as triple A paper to the world the limit is reached no way out no where to turn. we have finally come to the last chapter in the saga ,when on Oct 1 the numbers are known, it will show that China has already begun unloading the USD . There will be a stampede around the world to dump the USD this will reduce the usd to 30 cebts or less on the dollar it will erase the AMerican debt but will also reduce AMericans to beggars As Americans gnash their teeth and knock their knees you will find that it is is easy to take away the constitution and install the North American union they will not only welcome it they will herald it as their savior while the winds howl and the gift of their forefathers is cast into the dust Sat Sep 22, 2007 4:36 pm Sponsor imaculate Joined: 22 Sep 2007 Posts: 36 When i was but a lad back in 1970 I remember America owned the automotive world . Oh the Japaneses were sending cars over then but it was just getting under way i thought to myself why would America allow them to come here with this junk. they were reliable cars but they were small and ugly. but to my point .The fact that they allowed the Japanese to enter the market and send their crap here while Americans were barred at the time from sending their stuff to Japan. What has happened is that America has sold out it's own back bone Industrials . through unfair trading practices,in Which the Japanese had an immense advantage.Today the Back bone Industry is the Industrial war complex . it is owned buy bush and other international bugs of ill repute. Today America needs war when the economy is bad, or people do not work. this Industrial war complex is the worse possible for sustaining a capitalistic society as it sucks off all the best talent from private industry and eventually ends up competing with regular industry for the best talent .Today America sells the most armaments and funds the biggest defense Industry in the world at a time there are no enemies to face. Since the cold war ended America has made up enemies at a frantic pace ,culminating with the war on terror which the govt. wants desperately to keep fighting until the end of time. To reform America we must dismantle at least 80% of the defense industry and rebuild the private industry with new solutions to problems such as energy crisis,pollution crisis inventions etc.... I thought Americans would latch onto Ron Paul I thought they would be wise enough to see this solution too,but it looks like they will be rushing head long into depression with both eyes closed. Since 1970 I've seen a steady pull for the Industrial war complex in 2008 their budget will be 1 trillion $ and thats the direct Pentagon budget many other budgets for other departments have provisions for DOD items . the rest of the world spends only 500 billion combined the war in IRAQ Afghanistan costs more than what Russia and China both pay in their entire defense budget with no more enemies politicians who fight to keep the DOD budget as is or greater to keep people working in their districts. things can not change unless a once in a life time person comes along that is brave enough,patriotic enough to buck the system Ron Paul it is another thing to get people to open their eyes though too many people are dumbed down Thu Jan 24, 2008 2:29 pm ShadowWorks Joined: 16 Mar 2008 Posts: 273 I honestly believe this is how they play the game, stripe each country of its natural resources and move on to the next, America had its day and its dried up, poor people will sell the forest and oil and everything to live the American dream as its been sold to them for 100 years.
