-Caveat Lector- .... far and wide! Since the following has never been reported by the corrupt establishment media thugs, I thought for sure I'd see a Post by a Subscriber who has read, The Creature from Jekyll Island; if it was, then I missed it and this Post can be considered a re-post. Am not going to comment on the following as it pretty well describes the method(s) the elite thugs will take to protect their assets. All I ask is that by spreading this Post far and wide, we will have achieved the goal of informing a very ignorant public of the facts of life, and in that process hopefully we will have jogged the common sense of those who persist in their state of denial of reality; it seems that is all we can do. After reading this, you might ask yourself the question: How much longer are we going to permit the thugs to rape us, and what is it going to take to undo the many wrongs perpetrated upon us? "PANAMA The first major score in the game had been made under the Carter Administration when Panama fell in arrears on the payment of its loans. A consortium of banks including Chase Manhattan, First National of Chicago, and Citibank brought pressure to bear on Washington to give the Canal to the Panamanian government so it could use the revenue to pay interest on its loans. Although there was massive opposition to this move among the American people, the Senate yielded to insider pressure and passed the give-away treaty. The Panamanian government inherited $120 million in annual revenue, and the interest payments to the banks were restored. As Congressman Philip Crane observed: At the time of the Torrijos-backed coup in 1968, Panama's total official overseas debt stood at a manageable and, by world standards, modest $167 million. Under Torrijos, indebtedness has skyrocketed nearly 'one thousand percent' to a massive $1.5 billion. Debt-service ratio now consumes an estimated 39 percent of the entire Panamanian budget. What it appears we really have here is not just aid to a tinhorn dictator in the form of new subsidies and canal revenues the treaties would give to the Torrijos regime, but a bailout of a number of banks which should have known better than to invest in Panama and, in any event, should not escape responsibility for having done so.(1) The Panama bailout was a unique play. In no other country did we have an income-producing property to give away, so from that point forward the bailout would have to be done with mere money. To pave the way for that, Congress passed the Monetary Control Act of 1980, which authorized the Federal Reserve to " monetize foreign debt." That is banker language meaning that the Fed was now authorized to create money out of nothing for the purpose of lending to foreign governments. It classifies those loans as "assets" and then uses them as collateral for the creation of even more money here in the United States. That was truly a revolutionary expansion of the Fed's power to inflate. Until then, it was permitted to make money only for the 'American' government. Now, it was able to do it for 'any' government. Since then it has been functioning as a central bank for the entire world. ------------------------------ (1) Philip M.

The continuation of the status quo will only result in the further deprivation of our Freedoms. Regards, Bard DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
