You say You Want a Revolution?

Americans should have been in the streets to reclaim the country long ago. Patrick Henry and his fellow patriots are turning over in their graves about the present day USA. The savvy folks I talk to on a regular basis are exceedingly pessimistic that our blessed republic can pull out of this present financial, economic and political tailspin. The US as we have known it is on the ropes.

Our third President and signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, long ago stated …”Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies”.

He also declared …“If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless.”

Hello.

A second American Revolution is now at least as necessary as the first one was though few citizens have an overall understanding of the problems we face. Anything short of a complete house cleaning will be mostly a waste of time and effort. The elitist banking entities running and ruining this country must be shown the highway. Nothing less will suffice!

Who exactly am I talking about? The Federal Reserve is exhibit one. Their partners in financial crime like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, et al absolutely must be excised like the cancer they are.

“Tea Parties” are once again on the horizon. Lots of citizens are awakening and protesting. How keen is their focus going to be?

Those that put the preponderance of blame on President Obama, ex-President Bush, the Liberals, the Conservatives, the Trial lawyers, the unions or any other distraction will never accomplish anything worthwhile. The rot is deep, systemic and centered on money and the banking system.

Those that demonize Republicans and worship Democrats, or vice versa, have been suckered into a divide and conquer plan. My expectation is to never again vote for a Republican or a Democrat in their present form. The Demopublicans must go.

The Fed is a serial bubble blower. Their funny money products initially line the pockets of their cronies closest to the trough. From there it is directed towards distorting prices in stocks, real estate or the latest manipulated craze. Economies without foundation inevitably collapse. Our central planners need to take an indefinite overseas vacation.

America’s biggest exports over the last decade have been toxic and fraudulent financial products. The creators of this crap are the ones who have brought us to the present disaster – yet they remain in charge of sweeping changes designed to perpetuate their power and imprison us.

All of these Wall Street entities and the lackey politicians who support them must hit the road. Those behind the scenes pulling the strings have to be stripped of their illicit power.

Surely you heard about Goldman Sachs’ record second-quarter earnings of $3.44 billion? Making money hand over fist comes fairly easy when you get to implement official policy. Records follow when front running is the name of the game. They may get their bonuses now but ours will be even larger when tar and feathers once again hold sway.

Congressman Ron Paul has sponsored a bill to audit and put congressional oversight on the Federal Reserve. 261 representatives have so far signed on to this meaningful element of true change. A similar Senate bill is just getting started. Knowledgeable citizens seriously doubt the Fed could withstand an audit because of its shady dealings. This is one bill that holds some promise.

The huge majority of US citizens are really peeved, justifiably so. That anger will certainly play out in the coming months and years. The tea parties could even spill into the streets. You can rest well assured that nothing will be accomplished without a purposeful and focused anger.

Concerned Americans have a critical choice. We can rid the system of all the parasites and malignancies or just stay home and continue to get our reality through television.

You know by now I’m also going to advise you to protect yourself and those you care about. The monetary metals, gold and silver, sniff out economic, financial and monetary chaos. They’ve had a massive snort lately and more is coming. These precious metals have appreciated nicely almost every year of this decade for good reason. They should still be purchased and the speculators amongst you may consider my Resource Windfall Speculator for leveraged gains in the resource sector.

Live Free and Resourcefully,

Rusty

    Thank you for this article. The Federal Reserve and the IRS should be abolished. Please keep speaking out. Ron Paul should lead our country. I pray for Divine Intervention for this Planet.

    Hello Rusty

    I’m sure you have known what has been going on for years,but who is going to listen when most were reaping the gold falling from the balloon

    Obama must dig the infection out before there is no food or the
    capability to buy it.

    Dennis.

  3. Bravo, Russell’s accurate chronicaling and expose of the State of the Union is brillant and superb in the very least.

    This is a definitive story that is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…so help America!

    Carry on with your rallying cries Russell, America and everyone who cherishes the freedoms we have fought so hard to acquire and hold so dearly, stands behind you and cheers you on.

    Wake up America…it’s time for a ‘Tea Party’

    We get it Rusty, we get it. Buy gold/silver, etc.. we bloody get it!! I swear I have not heard you make one actionable recommendation in the last two or three months of articles. Once, twice, three times, fine, but enough of the ranting now Rusty, get back to the business of investing.

    During the same three month period, all of your colleagues have made actioanble recommendations. I took Ted’s recommendation on COF put options, its loosing me money right now, but I admire how he’s putting himself on line, and would be more likely to subscribe to his service because of the confidence he displays by taking a risk and recommending a play in the general newsletter.

    According to your articles, 15 of the 17 recommendations you’ve made in your Resource Windfall are making money. Come on dude, make a recommendation or two as goodwill, or run for office and change the system from the inside, but please shut up already with the continuous rantings…. and telling me buy gold or silver doesn’t tell me exactly what to buy.

    Do remember that Jefferson died penniless and in debt. His children and grandchildren were left homeless.

  6. Jay says:

    A very good article, one we all should pay close attention to. It reminds me of President Wilson’s remarks on his death bed…”I have been a miserable and unhappy man all my life, and now I have ruined my country”. This was his remarks regarding his creation and support of the Federal Reserve. Rot in Hell Mr.Wilson you deserve it.

  7. Barry says:

    Rusty,

    Good article. Take a look at Executive Order 11110, signed by Pres. JFK in 1963 and aimed at taking back the issuance of currency from the FRS, which would be in line with the provisions in the Constitution.

    Cheers

    Agree with all you have written. But would go a little further. Get rid of Fox news, Limbaugh and all the other radio, tv, newspaper personalities, expressing their so called freedom of speech when it is only lewd, unfactual personal opinions coming from mental midgets who cant see beyond party affiliation whatever the hell that means to them. If it is not objective and backed with facts the above should never be given the opportunity to be in the fickle public eye.

  9. Ron says:

    The Federal Reserve is a for profit organization and charges interest on the money they print. The interest is charged based on the amount of zero’s printed on the bills, but the printing costs are the same and there is nothing backing the money they print. What a scam, it’s like monopoly money. I hope they send the Feds packing. I am also very concerned as to how much influence/control the Federal Reserve has in world affairs. I believe the Federal Reserve should be abolished and the U.S. Government should print it’s own money.

  10. Rob says:

    Rusty, You’ve done it again. This article sums it up perfectly. In a complex world to have it spoken so simply is a beautiful thing. Keep up the good work and keep sharing it. It’s time we all WAKE UP!! Once awake it is time for action. Getting all of the bastards in the senate and congess out of there is a first order of business. We need some more good people like Dr Paul in there and fighting for our constitution. Thanks again, Rob

  11. Paul says:

    Great Article !! I deeply admire people who have the guts to tell the truth. I agree totally and will respond when necessary !!

  12. Hi Rusty,

    I usually delete almost every e-mail I get from IDE. Too damn much to read and mostly just long winded advertisements for “iffy” things. Once in while I will actually open an email from IDE and more often than not, its yours. I am afraid that you have it absolutely correct. I AM TERRIFIED!!! What the hell do we do? “They” have nearly all the sheeple lulled into apathy, numbed into ignorance, and programed into disbelief of what “they” are doing.

    I have investigated far enough to suspect things are much more out of control than you seem to let on! Any revolt we might begin would be dissipated by psychological operations, disinformation and well publicized ridicule, etc. I also agree that the Democrublicans and the Republicrats are two faces of the same coin. The Democrublicans and the Republicrats are just the thesis and antithesis. The “international power elite” are the synthesis. Nearly everyone with any power is or was a CFR member and an agent of the control mechanism of the “international power elite”.

    I am not a Christian. I do not own any guns. I do not own any silver or gold. How can I know what I just said and not own any guns or gold??? Guns and gold make you a target. Making loud, dogmatic statements make you a target. Better to ask questions than to make loud, dogmatic statements. Better to be able to slip between the cracks than to brandish guns.

    Answers? I don’t have any! Questions? I have lots of them. Be careful of the loud mouths with “big balls”, demanding action. They could just as easily be agents provocateur. Agents provocateur will agitate for bold action and discourage the gathering of intelligence. They will ridicule careful education and planning. We need intelligence not mindless “balls”. I will agree that battle plans that are too detailed take too long and go wrong almost right away. The education I am talking about is not about battle plans. It is about each individual being a microcosm of the master plan. Who’s master plan? I don’t know. I have not found one yet.

    Just my two cents worth.

    I was interested to read your take on Goldman Sachs and others, the fact that so many of those in Government who spent many of their prior years in these organizations, and undoubtedly will return to these folds once there stint in government is finished. Who in this world would resist the temptation to make that return as favorable as possible by smoothing that path by dispensing favors of their own while in power?

    I harbor the suspicion that the percentage of those working in these companies, and who profess the Jewish faith, is rather higher than their percentage of the US population might suggest was normal. The amounts of money paid by the “employees” of these companies to the political parties candidates also suggests that they might want the ability to call in political favors of their own at some time in the future, regardless of which party is elected. One also suspects that the official US position on democracy is little more than a cover for the way the government works “the electorates elect, but the moneymen direct”

    One has only to look at the way the US government in 1948 very swiftly recognized the rights of Jews who had been there less than 3 years to claim nationhood in Palestine while the Palestinians who had been there for 2000 years are still waiting for their nationhood after 60 more years, (longer actually, since 1918 when the area became a British Protectorate after the first World War) and while the ancient Israel was only there for 1,500 years and was long gone; and despite the fact that the Jewish immigrants had waged an incessant war of terror against anyone who opposed them. (Do you not remember the Stern Gang et al). Despite the fact that they hold nuclear weapons contrary to innumerable resolutions of the United Nations in the same manner as Iran and North Korea. Despite the fact of their numerous civil rights violations not only against the West Bank and Gaza where about 1,200 men women and children were recently killed by them, but also against the Arab population of Israel (who are actually Israeli citizens and have nominally the same and equal rights as the Jewish communities; but then again some are more equal than others) and whose ancestors have occupied this land uninterrupted for at least the last 2,000 years; Despite the fact that the Jewish incomers are expanding their settlements on stolen land occupied by them. How would you feel if your ancestral land was declared State-land by the majority government, and your house demolished? Do you wonder that the Arabs are up-in-arms? What would your Patriots do if it was their land and homes?

    Not a word is spoken by the US politicians against these abuses, so it seems that “He who pays the piper calls the tune” still. Yes you have a lot to do it the US.

    Some might try to suggest that they are just exercising their faith, like the Amish community and tend to their own affairs? But you know that is utter crap. In the UK was an organization called the Free Masons. It was outlawed because its members were sworn to give preference to other members above the general public; this gave immense conflicts of interest when those members had great power and influence, like politicians, police chiefs and judges. The same can be done with money as with power, and this is what many believe that some in the Jewish community are doing. I believe that the US has a very corrupting influence in the center of its community, but I do not know how you can deal with it. Obviously the Nazi party’s solution was not the one to follow, not only was it abhorrent, the reaction against it only breeds an unwarranted tolerance of those who escaped its clutches and claim personal benefit because their ancestors suffered - although they personally did not, tolerated no matter how repulsive and despicable their own behavior, waving the banner of “God’s Chosen People” before gullible and superstitious idiots in the same manner as “Deucheland uber alles” was a justification for the vilest behavior in bygone Germany.

    Of course it is possible to establish a link between the US support for the establishment of, and assistance to, the Jewish State of Israel where none of these people or their ancestors had lived for 2,000 years, and to the antagonism felt by the Palestinians and the surrounding countries to the US. If Israel had not been established there, or at the very least contained within the borders established by international treaty in 1948, it is quite probable that there would not have been the incentive for 9/11 to have taken place, which would probably have meant that neither the invasion of Afganistan, nor that of Iraq (2 times) also, would have taken place, without the consequent loss of tens of thousands of American lives, and hundreds of thousands of local lives. The US supporting the establishment of Israel was immensely costly in lives, money, and the prestige of the US in the eyes of the world. Perhaps there is a case for proposing that the US brought the whole Middle East calamity into being itself, directed by the same mind-set as now conducts the present financial crisis. Perhaps the US (or a part of it) is its own worst enemy after all?

    As a British citizen, I cannot sufficiently express the shame I feel on behalf of the people of my country in that Britain did not establish the Nation of Palestine while we had the chance. I am disgusted at the then Prime Minister of Britain, Lord Balfour, whose religiously mad mother was probably the causal personality in persuading her son to create the Balfour Declaration, an instrument that set the scene to create so much misery and so many deaths in this place in the years to come. Sadly this will be remembered for hundreds of years (think of Northern Ireland) by which time, like it or not, many more countries will have nuclear weapons, no matter what you do, they do not need delivery systems, they will sail them into US ports, in mini subs if necessary, and up your rivers. A new kind of suicide bomber if you will? I fear that the US has made a rod for its own back, which your Secretary of State is busy strengthening for your own pain. Your children and your children’s children will not thank you.

    Of course if you speak of the shortcomings of some of the Jewish community then they have a law that labels you anti-Semitic, and prosecute you in the courts, conveniently forgetting that those of Semitic origin also include Arabs.

    Worth thinking about

  15. Tax Lawyer says:

    I’ve been included in taxations for lengthier then I care to admit, both on the individualized side (all my employed life!!) and from a legal standpoint since satisfying the bar and pursuing tax law. I’ve offered a lot of advice and corrected a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes impeccable sense. Please uphold the good work - the more people know the better they’ll be equipped to handle with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
