Global Empire and the International Banking Cartel (part 2)

by Damon Vrabel from Council on Renewal. This is a continuation of last week's article--see my post regarding Part 1. 

From my cursory review of this website, it appears to me that he comes from a libertarian point of view in company with Ron Paul, Ellen Brown, etc, but his understanding of politics in the broadest sense appears to be very limited. I do not share his libertarian perspective as I've argued previously in this post. But much of the work exposing the banking scams have been done by libertarians, and we owe them a debt of gratitude.

The author makes some very interesting observations and assertions, but I need far more study of the subject to evaluate his points. I don't think that the subject of banking and money is all that difficult; but because it has been so obfuscated beyond recognition and the difficulty in finding reliable, informed sources of information, it takes time to unravel. To be sure, it is a vital, necessary-to-understand subject if we are to create a world safe for working people.
