You might want to read a bit about the Federal Reserve Bank system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_System
To quote: "The U.S. Government receives all of the system's annual profits, after a statutory dividend of 6% on member banks' capital investment is paid, and an account surplus is maintained"
I kinda feel sorry that every time this kind of opinion is brought up, it's brought up by people that have absolutely no knowledge of how economics works. Financial system isn't perfect, I'll give you that, but there's a stretch between a broken system and the "illuminati" controlling the banks...
Financial Tyranny: I cannot believe _someone_ on HN would think that because some legislation makes the federal reserve a private corporation means that automatically it "controls" everyone and everything.
- ypcx 15y ago"Illuminati" is nothing but a fancy name for an organized crime - under an oath of secrecy, breaking of which means a death penalty. Why it is so difficult to understand that if organized crime groups are allowed to exploit and subvert the system for long periods of time, they will eventually succeed? And what did you expect to learn on Wikipedia? You obviously have no idea how systemic and elaborate the suppression really is. I really suggest you go through the article I posted a link to, and actually read it.

- pothibo 15y agoAlright, so whenever we bring up fact to you, they fall under "suppression" facts while yours are indisputable. Clever reasoning, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy
