VIDEO from Russia Today: "Amid the financial turmoil, the U.S. President George W. Bush daily delivers affirmations on the nations crippled economy. Those who hope to succeed him in office charge that only they know how to lift America off its knees. But the one winning the public trust battle is Congressman and former presidential candidate Ron Paul."

TELL CONGRESS TO SAY "NO!" TO PAULSON: Some notes on the World Bank and the Insane Power Grab being made by Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke...


What is the World Bank? What is its stated aim, and is that what it is really up to? In this episode of People & Power Max Keiser gives his answers to those very questions. The World Bank was formed in 1945 at the end of World War II. 185 countries are members (184 were members when this video was made), and its stated aim is poverty reduction, or even a world free of poverty. Max makes the case in this short video that the World Bank is in fact not working towards global poverty reduction, but rather a world full of poverty, and that many of the largest corporations in the world are "banking on it."

The World Bank does, in fact, loan money to "developing" nations at below-market interests. However, those loans come with conditions and costs that far outweigh the benefits provided by the low interest rates. In general, one of the conditions to World Bank loans is the requirement of so-called "technical assistance," which is exceedingly overpriced and always to be provided by a "cousin" (i.e. crony) of World Bank leadership. The World Bank loans have even caused wars and dire, mass poverty, such as in the case of Liberia, whose World Bank loan went to fund a military dictatorship which led to 14 years of war and 200,000 dead, as stated by a Liberian interviewee in this video. And now that Liberia has held free elections, they still have to pay that money back which, in turn, prevents them from fulfilling basic needs such as infrastructure and assistance to the farmers of the war-torn nation. In essence, World Bank loan recipients become indentured servants.

A few more "fun facts": The World Bank's most powerful members are the U.S.A., Japan and Germany. The U.S.A. controls 16.4% of the vote and can therefore block any major resolution that it wants to. Also, the U.S. President always nominates World Bank President. Paul Wolfwitz was World Bank President 2005-2007.

Here's the video, but please do keep reading below...

The current World Bank President (this information is not in the video) is Robert B. Zoellick. Prior to joining the Bank, Zoellick served as Vice Chairman, International of the Goldman Sachs Group, and Chairman of Goldman Sachs' Board of International Advisors 2006-2007. I think it is VERY important to note that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, the man who is now essentially telling the US Congress that they must give him dictatorial powers over the American economy, was formerly the Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. And now, among the Wall Street investment bank giants, Goldman Sachs is now one of the two left standing. Coincidences? No way! Cronyism and Insane Dictatorial Power Grab? Absolutely.

The U.S. Congress, the beleaguered power that they are, does have the power to say "no" to this, but it looks like they actually may pass it! The proposed bill, which is so short (849 words!) anyone can read it and readily understand that constitutes financial dictatorship, is being argued for as I write now. If you do anything today to try to stop this nation's downfall, please tell your Congressmen and tell everyone you know to tell their Congressmen that this bill is UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE. It is the equivalent of the Patriot Act for finance, and it is one of the final steps in the shredding of our Constitution.

Say NO now... it is getting very late in the game, and fast.

ACT NOW!

You may ask, "Won't the economy collapse if the Congress does not take this step?" Of course it will! It's going to one way or another. The U.S. Dollar has been completely devalued already. The question is, do we make it much, much harder on ourselves by extending the imminent Depression into the far reaching future (by bailing out rich speculators), or do we deal with things as we must now, with our remaining liberties and sovereignty in tact? Here's a bit from Ron Paul about the matter:

ARTICLE Ron Paul Blasts “Secret Government” Running Economy
Congressman Warns middle class in danger of being wiped out, says Congress is oblivious and Fed has no clue

Steve Watson

September 18, 2008

Congressman Ron Paul has issued a stinging address concerning the financial crisis in which he outlines how the current economic problems, created via malinvestment and shift to a debt based economy, are now being mismanaged by private interests in secret.

What’s more he says he is not sure the Federal Reserve has any idea what to do next and that the Congress is totally oblivious to the whole sorry state of affairs - a cocktail of elements he warns puts the middle class of America in serious jeopardy.

“Today we had a lot of financial fireworks in the markets, a lot of things are going on, and I think we are in the middle of something very big.” the Congressman stated.

Speaking on the recent collapse and government bailout of several big financial institutions he warned: “We’re talking about big bucks, we’re not talking about hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, the obligation is immeasurable.”

“The interesting thing is that they (the financial institutions) don’t come to the Congress, I mean the Federal Reserve buys them out, they own it. We as tax payers now own Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and know one knows how much that will cost. They don’t come to the Congress, we don’t have appropriations, it’s done by secret government, private individuals behind the scenes maneuvering and manipulating and trying to patch things up. While in the meantime, I’m sure there’s a few people making a couple of bucks out of this whole thing.”

The Congressman highlighted how an economy structured on debt and credit and a financial system based on interventionism and self serving moral hazard has led to gross devaluation of the dollar and ultimately lies at the root of the current financial meltdown.

“Our problems come first of all from the Federal Reserve. It is a monopoly and it controls interest rates artificially low, causes people to make mistakes, that’s the basic source. But then on top of that in the Housing market we had the community reinvestment act which told investors that they had to loan to risky borrowers, and that was a risky complication. HUD contributes to this, FDIC contributes, it’s called moral hazard, everything that we have done over here creates moral hazard, that is we assure people or assume that we will take care of everybody, just go out and create the risk, it is the opposite of the market place.” Paul stated.

“You can’t create money like we’re doing in order to support the dollar, because ultimately it hurts the dollar and everything we do in Washington today whether its on the appropriations side, whether it’s what the Fed is doing, buying up America, it’s all putting pressure on the dollar. One of these days we’re just going to have to wake up and say that we need to liquidate debt. This is malinvestment.” he urged.

The Congressman then slammed those who have blamed the crisis on failures of the free market:

“And then they have people come along and say ’see, this is the failure of capitalism’, this has nothing to do with capitalism, this is something that started off as interventionism and us being too involved in the economy for the benefit of special interests. But now it is being socialized out in the open.”

“The end of this comes when people reject the dollar and I think we’re getting awfully close to this.” Paul stated echoing comments from leading investors such as Jim Rogers, who predicted Monday that the dollar would soon lose its world reserve status.

“When you see the movement in the markets that we have today, you know that there are serious problems out there and Congress basically are oblivious, they have no idea what’s going on.” Paul continued.

“As a matter of fact I’m not even sure the Federal Reserve has any idea what to do about this. They’ve been manipulating and maneuvering for their own benefit over the years but eventually the market wins out.”

The Congressman’s comments were echoed today by reports indicating that the Congress cannot agree on any form of action and is likely to simply adjourn and “get out of the way”.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that “no one knows what to do”.

In a stark warning, Ron Paul stressed that the longer the value of the dollar is allowed to depreciate, the greater the risk becomes for the majority of Americans:

“The reason this is so important is that if you care about people in a humanitarian sense, what you want to do is protect the value of the money. Just think of the third world nations when they have total run away inflation, the middle class gets wiped out. And what we are seeing today is the middle class being jeopardized by this type of system that we have, unlimited spending, unlimited debt, unlimited creation of new credit.”

“So it’s time that we wake up… The answers are in the free market, sound money and our Constitution.” Paul concluded.

Ron Paul speaks on Georgia attacking Russia first (on the Alex Jones Show), the US Puppet Georgian Government, and How To Stop the Madness!


In the following video (at exactly 4:50) you'll hear Ron Paul say it was in fact the Georgians who launched the attack on South Ossetia, not Russia. If you listen a little further you'll hear his fuller analysis of the situation, including the fact that Georgia has a US "puppet government." Thanks Alex Jones for supporting Ron Paul. And thank you Ron Paul for telling the truth, and for having a rational plan of action. It is absolutely clear that it was the Georgians who struck first, at least according to everyone in the world except for the 5 major media outlets in the US. It's good to know at least one person in the US congress is willing to say it.

Ron Paul speaks on Georgia attacking Russia first (on the Alex Jones Show):


Here's another recent story involving Ron Paul, this time by the AP (they can't seem to totally ignore him, which is excellent): Will young Paul, Huckabee backers stay with GOP? (AP.google.com - 20 Aug 2008 - USA)

Taken from that article, here's what Ron Paul has to say about who to support in the presidential election:
"Paul has not endorsed another candidate and says his supporters "should do whatever they want." But at a party the night before a recent rally in Washington, he told one Paulite, "The contest is to get as many votes as we can to not support the two major candidates." Electing a third-party candidate "would be the best thing for the country," Paul said. "Whether (Obama) wins or McCain wins, policies won't change."
