[1] He who has the gold makes the rules.

[2] My SNaP concepts: Most humans are inclined toward the nonaggression princple and are productive. They disdain and discourage stealing. A handful of defective humans, the parasitical Kleptocons, is responsible for the acceptability of aggression in society—aggression serves their antihuman ends.

[3] An area in which I have incomplete knowledge: Who controls the non-Western finance bankers, e.g. China, or more renegade Western powers such as Venezuela?

[4] American trillion = a million million, or a 1 with 12 zeroes following it. These are estimates from known weatlh of the Rothschild banking dynasty in the mid-19th century.

[5] Check out They Rule for the incestuousness of the power matrix.

[6] No authority exists in the Constitution for a federal bank, period.

[7] If a price is set too high, e.g. price supports for milk, producers will make a buncha milk, but people won't buy it all... and vice versa. [I'm told if Obamacare goes through, the government will commission Michael Moore to develop a special Quija Board for care providers to determine rates for all the medical procedures and surgeries.]
