WhiskeyG,
I skimmed your post. I have to say that if " You" personally were to go out on your street and take a camera (recording device for video) ..And you randomly asked People questions ..You would be amazed by their answers.
Like for Example Jay Leno goes out and asks random questions and He shows those who give the most
responses ( or he did).
If you Wg were to ask people on your street - Who is the Federal Reserve?
What is the Federal Reserve?
Now I noticed this over two years ago on CNN and other cable news that they were not using the proper terms of Federal Reserve when speaking to the public. They coined it to be " THE FED" now correct me if I am wrong. FED means Federal Govt. Which the Federal Reserve is no part of. It is a separate deity and has no affiliation with the White House nor our Govt.
How Many people though Know this? If its being pumped and stated within Media they are THE FED ? In the masses...who are they to question it? If they within do not investigate?
How many will ? not many because
they do not Trust the Govt Period. They will leave the sleeping dog lie literally ..and complain and retch about it to all that they know. This is what uniformed people do. They forget that they have " personal power of research and reading" - It is much easier to sit and B@tch ..than it is to attempt to gain knowledge.
Now why is that ?
Because People in general do not question (as much as they hate/no trust for Govt right now). They feel that they are faceless/nameless and can do nothing to change what is ........ its much easier to complain with ones mouth to others local... than it is to write a letter to the powers that be. Why? Because for many years it is has been punched into our heads that IF YOU John/Jane Public cause a Stir within the GOVT - you will become Watched. You will then be what is Anti Govt and or labeled. That is what is and felt by most.
How is that? It has been transcended via media for the most part. The Media has said for years - If you make waves your out.
Now the Media is owned by few people within the World and they Are even more powerful than our Govt. The Media owned by the Elite that spear head all of our minds daily, hourly, by the min with their soldiers of " Truth " highly paid Cyber Puppets. - the People who sit and read the dialog from their Desk that are now considered to the the all knowing - Gag me. They should be labeled as Puppets/Influence to the Masses. They report nothing. They Read teleprompters period. They simply read and spew what is before them. They do it for the $$$ and the prestige and the God feeling of respect from the % of tiny minded USA people who sit on their word as Truth. Most of the time as I watch them on the cable news - they don't even pay attention to what they are reading. They read about a Death or a Murder as if they are talking about a used shoe. No emotion. No nothing. They just Read what is before them.
But People actually consider them to be Celebrity and or Rock Star Journalists.
That OMG these People who are News " Reporters" actually tell the world " I am on Vacation" but you can follow me on Twitter ......... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I saw that the other night on CNN. I almost puked. That a CNN person was on vacation - yet was Available to All 24/7 - that he could be followed on Twitter and or Facebook if he was Needed or was to be contacted.
Now How do you Expect the Ave Person to Really Care about or Know About the Federal Reserve?
I am playing devils advocate. Not to you but for you to chew on. I know YOU know better.
Your a Wise Open Minded Monkey
