How the Financial Bailout Really Works (comic) & Comments

Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) In 1942, German intelligence officers rounded up skilled
Jewish prisoners and launched Operation Bernhardt, a clever scheme designed to
counterfeit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of British Pounds and destroy
the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit money. Located in the
Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Operation Bernhardt was, even by modern
standards, a runaway success that resulted in the creation of forged bank notes
worth 132 million British Pounds.

This "economic warfare" operation resulted in a devastating economic effect
on the British economy. You can read the true history of this operation here:

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation) _...

It is important to note that Operation Bernhardt was an act of war,
specifically pursued for the purpose of destroying Britain's economy by creating so
much new money that the value of the money already in circulation would
plummet. This was considered a strategic attack, just as effective as
carpet-bombing tank factories or mowing down soldiers on the field with German-made MG42
machine guns.

What does all this have to do with the Federal Reserve?

Today, the Federal Reserve is engaged in an eerily similar operation,
counterfeiting trillions of dollars in U.S. bank notes and flooding the U.S. money
supply with money created from nothing. The result, of course, is the same as
was intended by Operation Bernhardt in 1942: The economic destruction of the
target nation. Only this time, the target is the United States of America.

Hilariously, the Fed claims it's doing this to save the economy. Yet the
laws of economics tell us that flooding the money supply with trillions of
dollars in new money actually harms the economy. And the Fed has been hard at work
causing this harm: $250+ billion two weeks ago, $600+ billion last week and
$900 billion earlier this week! It's beginning to crank up the printing
presses to the tune of a trillion dollars a week, and by doing so, it's
contributing to the destruction of the U.S. economy at a pace the Third Reich could
have barely imagined.


Has the Fed declared war on the working class?

If the actions pursued by the Federal Reserve were being masterminded by
Al-Qaeda, they would be denounced as acts of war. In World War II, such actions
were deliberate acts of war. Targeting the economy for destruction by
flooding the money supply with counterfeit currency is, by any measure, a threat to
any nation.

So why is the Federal Reserve engaged in actions that, if committed by other
nations, would warrant a military response? This is not an idle question.
I'm not asking this in a satirical way. I'm quite serious about this: Why is
the Fed committing acts of economic warfare against the United States of
America? (The Fed, by the way, is a private company. It is not, as you've been led
to believe, part of the U.S. government.)

The answer is obvious. You've probably already figured it out: The Federal
Reserve is at war with America. It's an economic war, of course, not a
bombs-and-bullets war. The casualties, though, are just as real: Savings accounts,
retirement funds, bank accounts, jobs, businesses, pensions and much more.

By counterfeiting trillions of dollars like a Sachsenhausen operation on
steroids, the Fed is carpet-bombing the U.S. economy with an unprecedented flood
of fiat currency, causing the exact same economic destruction intended by
the Nazis in World War II (but on a much more devastating scale). And it's
doing this as part of a new economic war.


Class warfare has begun

What war? The war between the wealthy elite and the working class. The Fed
is working hard, of course, to protect the wealthy elite. Over a trillion
dollars of taxpayer money has already been earmarked to bail out the rich, elite
bankers who lost other people's money in a series of idiotic bets on
fictitious financial instruments.

And what are these bankers doing with this taxpayer money? According to an
Associated Press report published yesterday, executives of the failed
insurance company AIG were sent on a $440,000 retreat "to a posh California resort"
less than one week after the U.S. government bailed them out. At the spa, AIG
executives enjoyed spa treatments, massages, organic food buffets and
bodywork therapy, all while the American taxpayers footing the bill were slaving
away in real jobs, doing real work. Want to see the invoice for yourself? View

(http://www.naturalnews.com/images/AIG-invoice.gif)

That's how this new class warfare is taking shape: YOU (the working class)
get all the debt, all the losses, and all the financial burden. THEY (the
wealthy elite) get all the profits, all the luxury spa treatments, all the tax
breaks and billions of dollars in free money from the Federal Reserve.

In the 1942 Operation Bernhardt, the Germans literally planned to load
hundreds of millions of dollars in British Pound bank notes and air-drop them over
London. The resulting chaos, it was believed, would shut down the British
economy, halting the flow of money needed by Britain to fund its war effort. In
the United States today, the Fed is taking a different approach:
Air-dropping trillions of dollars into the laps and bank accounts of wealthy bankers and
financial institution CEOs, concentrating the massive creation of fiat
currency into the hands of less than 1% of the population.

And just to make sure the economic carpet-bombing is a complete success, the
Federal Reserve and U.S. government are conspiring to create more than a
trillion dollars in new money each week, then flood those funds into banks,
businesses and insurance companies. This will, of course, devastate the value of
the dollars being saved, held or earned by the wage slaves who labor their
lives away under this economic regime. (That would be you and me.)

It's a brilliant plan... if you're interested in destroying a nation. This
kind of attack would bring almost any nation to its knees. It's an act of war
that requires no violence, no bombs and no destruction of real
infrastructure. And yet it achieves what every war in history has ever sought to achieve:
The transfer of power from the hands of the many to the hands of the few.

The Federal Reserve, in effect, has become a modern-day economic Third
Reich, and it has set its sights on the U.S. economy.


Acts of economic terrorism?

The Federal Reserve is now doing to the U.S. what the terrorists could never
have accomplished: The destruction of a large portion of its economy, its
currency and the savings of its people.

The economic losses of 9/11 pale in comparison to the financial destruction
that has been unleashed onto America by the Federal Reserve.

Yet, amazingly, it wasn't "terrorists" who put this plan into place. Who was
it, exactly? Your Congressional representatives played an important role in
allowing this to happen. In a grand, historical betrayal of the American
people, members of your own U.S. House of Representatives and Senate voted to
initiate a massive economic coup in America, violating the wishes of 99% of the
American people (who are aligned against bailing out the rich on the backs of
the poor).

Of course, to hear them explain it, their actions are meant to save the
taxpayers. Yep, that's their plan: To save YOU, the taxpayer, by confiscating
your money and handing it over to the wealthy elite. And whatever money can't be
stolen from the taxpayers will be counterfeited by the Fed's money-creation
machine.


The Real Agenda: A Massive Transfer of Wealth

We are not watching an economic rescue, friends. We are watching an economic
coup. Creating and dumping trillions of dollars into the money supply is an
act of war. But it's a war with a specific purpose.

What's happening right now is that the United States is being taken over by
King Henry and his accomplices. More than fifty percent of the housing and
nearly twenty percent of the entire U.S. economy is now controlled by one
person -- Henry Paulson -- and that person answers to no one. He isn't elected, he
can't be removed from office, and he's subject to no law.

King Henry controls unlimited funds. He can print any amount of money, or
confiscate any amount from the taxpayers (by spending taxpayer dollars to bail
out his rich friends). If the Federal Reserve is the new Third Reich, King
Henry is its Hitler.

The economic war has already been lost by the People. It was lost on
September 30, 2008, when Congress surrendered the U.S. economy to King Henry. The
People now own nothing but paper money and ephemeral digital account numbers,
all of which could be turned into worthless digits overnight by a single
decision from King Henry.

In this economic bailout and the Fed's unlimited creation of new money,
America has suffered the greatest act of economic warfare in our nation's
history. Note carefully that it wasn't conducted by the Nazis, Saddam Hussein or Al
Qaeda. It was, in fact, put into place by 172 Democrats and 91 Republicans in
the House, and a similar majority in the U.S. Senate. (See the complete list
below.)


So what can YOU do right now?

A system of exchange is not dependent on the dollar alone. Commerce will
survive the collapse of one currency. Trade will go on after this economic chaos
passes, and businesses will continue to be an important part of our economic
future.

People will still need food, clothing, nutritional supplements, fuel,
services, computers, tutoring, services, pet products, children's products, cars,
MP3 players and much more. The end of the U.S. dollar is NOT the end of the
world. It is simply the end of one empire...

In my view, the best way to financial survive this economic warfare being
conducted by the Federal Reserve against the People is to create your own
economic abundance by owning (or launching) your own independent income sources.

In fact, I've written an entire report on how to accomplish this. It's
called How to Build Your Financial Safety Net. Due to this economic crisis, I've
decided to release it at no charge, and it's available right now at:
_http://www.naturalnews.com/report_finan_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/report_finan) ...

Read it if you want to be empowered, informed and insulated from the demise
of the dollar. Using the strategies you'll find in that report, you can
drastically limit your losses in this economic carpet-bombing of the U.S. economy.
In fact, I believe you can emerge with greater wealth than you had when it
all started.

You probably won't be getting paid in dollars, however. Expect a new
currency to be the future system of exchange in America. But building reliable
income streams now is a smart way to survive the coming economic implosion that
will put corporations, governments and non-profits out of business. (If you
work for a paycheck, your paycheck may be in danger right now.)


What's Really Radical

By the way, do you think this article is radical? Some people have told me
that my reporting on the economic situation is "radical." You know what I told
them?

I said imagine two households. One household balances its budget, spends
only what it brings home in income and has no debt. The other household spends
twice as much as it earns. It owes $50,000 on credit cards and borrows money
from loan sharks to meet the minimum payments on its credit cards.

Which household is "radical?"

Now consider this: The second household sneaks into the first household and
steals money to pay its own debts. On top of that, it has a counterfeit cash
printing machine in the basement, and it's cranking out thousands of dollars
a week just to attempt to pay off its credit cards. It's immune to the law
because it buys off the local police for criminal immunity.

Which household is headed towards financial disaster? Which household has a
real future, and which one doesn't?

That second house, of course, is the United States government. My reporting
on the U.S. financial situation is downright tame compared to what's really
going on behind the scenes. I can't get radical enough to accurately describe
the degree of deception and outright theft that's taking place in Washington
right now.

History will show that not only were my warnings accurate, they were
understated by a wide margin. Reporting the truth is a delicate thing. People can
only stomach so much truth at any one time. Few people can handle the whole
truth, which is why I usually refrain from reporting it. There are things stated
in this article that only hint at much bigger stories that will someday be
told by others.

Only the most open-minded, skeptical thinkers can even mentally consider the
real truth of what's happening in our world today. Most people have been
brainwashed into living in a fictional world, and they are unable to even
consider truths that threaten their grip on reality.

As a result, the public has to be led by the hand from one realization to
the next, little by little, until they attain the ability to see the world as
it really is rather than the illusion that has been constructed for them by
the very people running this financial scam.
