infiltrating the street with Ron Paul signs& V signs! |
A month or so ago Zach and I drove down to the Federal Reserve Bank in Houston to protest our 1st amendment rights. It was very nice to be able to practice these rights. I am so grateful to be an American. I have been politically active since I turned 19. I continue to try to keep myself informed politically and economically. To get to my point I will just say that we live under a corrupted Banking system. It is a huge illusion that could be destroyed by like minded individuals. I know protesting might seem silly to some and might not accomplish much at this time. I did have a chance to meet some wonderful people. There is a difference in the people down at the Fed compared to some of the OWS groups. I say this because the people down at the Fed are not protesting free education, or free health car or free anything.. We want accountability of all this money printing out of thin air and there isn't any.
The problem with a lot of the young people these days is that we live in a self gratification type of society. WE expect the government to save us, help us and even feed us when we can't do it ourselves(I'm guilty of this as well). If we had a free market and true capitalism the types of things we are seeing go on wouldn't occur. The free market would eventually correct itself. It would be painful the next 5 years for middle class and poor Americans. If they continue down the road they are on it will eventually self destruct.. This is not fiction but history!
Since September there has been a movement called Occupy Wall St. Where protesters are camping out on Wall st. There are other numerous movements going on as well down in New York and all over the Country . Many people are unemployed, wondering why they can't pay there everyday expenses at the same time they have their i-phones ect. I don't agree with most of the people down there occupying wall st. but I do agree with some. Unfortunatly a lot of people are fed up and even though they might not understand they are still there protesting and I can respect that. I will include some video's in this post to give you a better idea of where I stand...
forgot my shades... |
I'm educated enough to this point to know that wall street is just a stem or branch from the big old tree that it is owned by(Goldman and the likes) Once the people learn that the Federal Reserve Bank is nothing but a corporation(or operates similar to one, but worse) that there is nothing Federal about it(meaning it is not part of our government) nor is it close to any type of Reserve, then we will see the world change. I can't stress enough to get your money out of paper... NOW:)
P.s. I forgot my camera this day(of all the days)! I was so bummed but I had the cell phone that did an okay job.Sorry the video's are bad the battery was dying at the wrong time! You will notice too that we are not protesting on the side walk. The police kept saying that where we were protesting at was dangerous. The police refused to let us stand on the side walk in front of the reserve. We had to stand on the dirt with on coming traffic coming right at us... If people only knew Liberty and freedom are not free but something we must FIGHT for!
It was nice being part of something bigger than myself.. Truly inspirational for Zach and I who decided to ditch the system ways a few years ago. Here are some video's that are probably dull to most but explains a lot if you would like to get informed.. This young buck knows his economics.. Keynesian vs. Austrian economics.
