Good or bad? Discuss.

There seems to be great demand for more bank regulations. Why not just nationalize the banks and call it a day?

What is wrong with that?

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

Hmm..hard to comment.

Coming from an Australian perspective different banks = competition. Which is good in a sense, but still is there any way to: Make banks more transparent? More regulated?

Honestly, I don’t thinks so. The bank’s will always have their way, the reserve area always three steps ahead. They give you a dollar they take six back.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

^ I remember thinking it was a good watch.

I've always been amused that Andrew Jackson has his face on a federal reserve note.

I'm curious, what connections are you drawing from that general concept of the federal reserve banking system and...nationalizing banks?

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

Not in any sense connecting the two but just validating the point of the...federal reserve. No matter what you do to the banks the Fed’s are always in charge.

I guess the above video led me to believe this point of the Federal Reserve.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

in all honesty, i think it's a wise idea. nigga, we gotta restore tha dollah $$$

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

So let's hand the keys of the asylum to the inmates? That'll end well. (don't mistake this with love for international bankster types).

All it would mean is the FED gets to have even more "lack of transparency" as it operates more freely as a central bank and continues to wreck monetary policy. Like Illuminate insinuated, it's really a useless exercise if there isn't a wide open audit of the FED, and criminal repercussions against the trillionaire Rothschilds for the theft in which they've engaged.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

Rothschilds, and all those bloodlines, are parcel with the ancient Jewish problem; and the astronomical imbalance of money: currency is vital circulatory flow, amirite?

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

^That's one of the theories, yeap, addressing the zionist angle. I'm not an anti-semite, but I have problems with those who think they have a God (or otherwise)-given right to rule the world.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

^ who is claiming they have a god-given right?

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

I'm not talking about a third-party here. I'm referencing them directly based on their own autonomous actions. Again, I'm referring to the subset of Jews who make zionism their reason for existence, or the lineage who think they themselves can lord over the world's money supply as if by divine right.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

well zionism is simply permitting israel to exist. either you're a zionist and say that israel has a right to exist, or you're an anti-zionist and say israel has no right to nationhood. interestingly enough, there are plenty of wealthy jews who are anti-zionist. pretty much all of them on the left, in fact. even some factions of jews in israel want it to be wiped off the map because of 'divine right' - you should know that israel is fairly left-of-centre in its politics (thought it seems to be croaching right-ward as they instability of the middle east increases)

if they think they can hoarde over the world's money supply, they're doing a terrible job at it. with inflation fast approaching (hell, watch gas and food prices jack up this week), money is practically worthless.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

That's not my take on zionism, though it may be the official definition. I'm talking about those power brokers who think they can manipulate superpowers to do Israel's bidding. They push me away from their cause as much as the radical Islam sects do to theirs. And yes, the likes of the Rothschilds have a chokehold on the monetary supply but that's how this lineage has always preferred it. They don't exist to make it easier on us little plebes, merely to enact control and mold the world in their vision.

Re: Nationalizing American Banks

well that's not zionism, really. given that israel is getting shat on, perhaps they should pay more to whoever it counts?
