It gives me great pleasure to write about something that connects with the the last article I wrote and some of the comments made about it.  Thank you Exstasis for your insightful comment.  You are very right... where is the V for Vendetta?  Where are the people in the streets, showing government that they are the ones who need to fear us, not the other way around?

The fact is, it won’t happen.  That’s because people have been conditioned very well over the past 100 years of our country’s history.  There are so many details that I can write to support much of what I speak of... but there is not enough room in a two page article (and you all know that most readers lose focus after two paragraphs)... so if you read on... you will be very delighted.

This week, The Free & Independent Nation of Lakota opened it’s first bank.  This is a very unique bank however... it is a bank based on metal!  Not fake money like the one your Federal Reserve has defrauded you into carrying in your wallet... real money that is based on honest value and trade.  The Free Lakota Bank is the world’s first, non-reserve, non-fractional bank that accepts only silver and gold currencies for deposit. 

I find it ironic that it took the Native people of our land (I won’t call them Native American’s because we named this country America and they were here before us) to gather the gumption and take a big step and announcing it’s cessation from our current form of banking... which you all too well are familiar... is failing!  If you are still in disbelief that your government is being had by a private bank... I recommend you gather the facts, read the history of how the Federal Reserve came to be, and then regroup for discussion in the comments section.  The fact is that the federal reserve (I will not be using caps from here on since they are not owned by the US Government, i.e. You and Me). is a quasi-public (are you kidding me?) banking system.  That is a quote from Wikipedia with references to the federal reserve website.  What that means to you... is that it has been coined as a department in government that is actually owned privately.  So the people that determine the value of your money and loan it to the government... are private bankers.

If you don’t know this yet.  You can stop now.  Carry on with your routine life, and make sure to get as much holiday shopping in before the shit hits the fan as Citigroup thinks HERE.  For those of us who read, read and then read some more... here is some more insight. 

Today is a great day for us, a day that we begin to exercise our rights as a sovereign people with strength and pride," comments Canupa Gluha Mani, Tetuwan Council Judicial Member of the Cante Tenza "Strong Heart" Warrior Society.  This makes me smile.  It reminds me of those really cool people we all learned about who are now the heros of the past... good ole General Washington, our friend Benjamin, and of every other person, famous or anonymous who stood up against the tyranny of the English King and the Bank of England and decided to stop the insanity once and for all. 

What most people don’t know is that the United States government printed it’s own money (backed by Silver) for the long time, and it has even been referenced in Benjamin Franklin’s memoirs.  During a visit to Britain in 1763, The Bank of England asked Benjamin Franklin how he would account for the newfound prosperity in the colonies. Franklin replied, "That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called 'Colonial Script'. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers...In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one."

But you dear Mr. or Mrs. American, will pay interest to the federal reserve.  We call it the National Debt.

It’s sad how when we came to this country, we came by the boat loads, looking for freedom from tyranny and began building a new life based on virtues that were guided by one of what I consider the most important documents in human history... the Constitution of the United States. 

But the real American’s, ironically, are now people who were, the REAL American’s... the Natives.  They have broken from the federal reserve system that bases money on the good will and faith of the United States government, which translates into the United States economy.  Which by the way, translates into consumerism.  Oh, which by the way translates into debt.

As long as you are in debt, and you are shopping, things will keep moving.  But as soon as you stop spending, a magic power called CONSUMER CONFIDENCE begins to fade and all over the news you hear sad and depressing reports about numbers (Dow Jones, NASDAQ, etc.) that in all actuality don’t really mean anything in your day to day life (if you structure your life the right way). 

I really wish I could write chapters on this for you... but this article is just an article.  I hope that you follow the links, keep reading and educate yourself... and educate me on what you find.  I am working on a book about this topic.  I have done a lot of research.  The book will be cheap (only covering printing costs) and will have complete references to the facts and excerpts from other books written by prominent economists, historians, and politicians.  All of these will talk about one thing... how a group of private bankers hijacked your American life.

To the Native people of this land... I commend you.  I hope that the rest of us Americans (all of which are immigrants) will wake up and bring back the soul of this beautiful idea... the Free, and Independent, United States of America.
