Wow. Never knew why the US would help overthrow a guy who had paid reparations to the Lockerbie bombing victims and generally revised, but this all makes a lot of sense: the globalist elite conspired against him because he was advocating a rejection of fiat currency and return to gold.

Yep, it's an old article, but I hadn't ever seen this twist on things so I thought I'd bring it up.

    Yes. Very interesting indeed.

    I used to be a big defender of Bush. The more I find out, the more I am unsatisfied with the man and his policies.

    Interesting how Saddam Hussein was supported by the US to use weapons of mass destruction against Iran, an attempt to overthrow a government that was slant drilling into his oil fields was enough of an excuse to invade Iraq but not too far, but once he started selling oil for another currency threatening what little stabilization there is for the use of the American petro dollar there was an immediate call for invasion, finding the ruthless dictator and killing him. He was always ruthless and amoral but the idea he might use another currency as a reserve to back his worthless money was cause for his death.

    The lefties would let dictators get away with almost everything except when it comes down to money.

    Very Interesting article, which, if truth, would tend to strengthen the whole "banking cartel" conspiracy theory...

    He wasn't part of the kakistocrac central banking system...he wanted to have their own central bank and fund structural and educational infrastructures in Africa....Knowing the worlds Delete ruleless class as well as I do....sounds like just the kind of guy they'd overthrow.

    If they are a separate book (as they were when I read them) do not miss reading the Anti-Federalist papers which represent the arguments in favor of restraining central government from constant unending growth in power. Some of the most inspiring writing I have ever read.

    Creature from Jekyll Island is a real eye opener. Recommended;^)

    Read or reread The Creature from Jekyll Island
    A Second Look At The Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin. The banking/government cartel runs and rules the world.

    I know the media constantly refers to this as just a "conspiracy theory" but has anyone, anywhere who has opposed the banking cartel survived?
