OT: The centralized private banks run the world and pull the strings. Our money is not backed by gold but by the ability of the USA government to tax citizens. Should the USA declare bankruptcy it will be the Federal Reserve who gets paid back with taxes. So either way you are screwed. They borrow money with no intention of paying it back and then allow a deficit to run up and then you get taxed either way. Scary.
A good read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. A nice audio lecture he gives can be found here:
