Chapter Zero Enough Is Enough : Dishonest Money by Joseph Plummer
Chapter Zero Enough Is Enough
Fifteen years after the publication of this book, our trajectory has not changed.
In 2009, federal debt stood at a mind boggling $12 trillion. It took nearly 100 years for the Federal Reserve System to bury us under that much debt. However, just 15 years later, those who direct our nation’s fiscal and monetary policy have managed to nearly triple that amount. Our nation will soon be buried under $36 trillion in debt.
Everyone knows that this course is unsustainable. It’s obvious that the banking class, and the politicians that they empower, are “financing the road to ruin.” But why? Is it just a feeding frenzy driven by short- term objectives and greed? Well, for the low-level administrators and profiteers, yes. But they are just useful idiots. For those intentionally orchestrating this mess, it’s much bigger. If permitted, they will use the financial crisis (that they create) to further consolidate their control over the globe and, by extension, our lives.
The purpose of this book is to expose how these people operate and what they’re after. With that in mind, we’ll focus on one of their greatest tricks: how they create the dollars that we all depend on and then “loan” those dollars into the economy, capturing governments, corporations, and citizens in the process.
