Today we begin with the Rothschilds. The following is taken from a London letter, sent to the Rothschild's New York operators on commencing business in the U.S.:   The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.   The "system" being described, as you likely know, is the international banking system. It is one of the oldest and most powerful in the world, as far as systems go.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bound to fail. Rather than fight the inevitable, we should let these programs die gracefully. I always hate it when a politician says, "For the sake of the children." It's really just code for "we're going to tax you." In this case, however, it really is for our children's future that the elderly MUST allow these massive Ponzi schemes to be shut down. Now, I don't mean to rain on anyone's government money parade. I also know that most have paid into this plan thinking (hoping?) someday you'd live to see the golden years of retirement. So, before you get mad at me, know that I have a solution... and it doesn't entail the elderly dying early. We'll begin with dispelling the myth that all is hunky-dory with Social Security and that, according to the politicians, it's fully invested.
