War for the Wrong Reasons

The Federal Reserve is a corporation the same as Standards and Poor’s who operate within the United States of America. I am amazed that a private company has been allowed to gain and maintain so much control over the lives of the citizens our government was created to protect. We have invaded countless countries and stolen innumerable amounts of wealth under the guise of democracy and freedom for the oppressed.

Standard and Poor’s was wrong about the housing market in the 90’s they were wrong about a recession coming to an end in late 2007, they are wrong about lowering the credit rating of the US right now. We are the greatest lender of aid, the largest consumer, and the greatest country in the world (despite our inherent flaws). What no one seems to grasp is downing the credit score of America severely impacts the entire world.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->If the interest rates of the government must increase because of poor credit so must all rates that fall under its umbrella. Housing, commercial, private

<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->It also means if we are the highest lender of aid and consumer of exports all other markets are devalued by default

<!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Commerce mimics markets, if the markets are down, spending and consumption will decrease. Businesses will struggle, inflation will skyrocket to maintain profit margins, people will lose jobs (has no one considered payroll is the single greatest controllable expense of any company)

There are sections of Detroit that look like Tripoli and even more that look like bombed out corners of Islamabad. When will there ever be a time that we as a people demand we defend our borders, from ourselves. Defend us from these banks, which shackle us with cash, slave us for our labor, and lynch us with the very rights that should ensure our God given freedoms. We are sharecroppers trying to farm progress with ancient tools overly dull and rusting away. The touch of hope comes from blistered hands, dripping blood and sweat trying to till a mountain side. Life has become hard as stone. Granite only has use as tombs for our self worth. What will we leave our children?

Disease and famine are the offspring of foreign aid. There are so many similarities behind the eyes of a Somali child and a student of Detroit Public Schools. America has become the world’s immune deficiency. We cannot afford the cure, we are wasting away our veins are collapsing like infrastructures. I wonder what you dream of when you are on your death bed? You probably pray for your children, in Detroit prayer stopped working long ago.

We must do something, before it is too late. You kill cancer by cutting it off, we can rebuild an economy through bartering; feed the hungry by urban farming, and live without killing everything around us. If we can go to war with foreign countries, we can most certainly go to war with those who do not carry our best interests in their hearts. Kill your enemies before they destroy everything you love, like yourself.
