> Why?

> Because these are the ingredients to becoming wealthy, powerful and

> A few quotes to start off:

> Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman, November 21, 2002:

> "Like gold, U.S. dollars have value only to the extent that they are
> strictly limited in supply. But the U.S. government has a technology,
> called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that
> allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially
> no cost."

> White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel: "You never want a serious
> crisis go to waste. This crisis [the economic turndown] provides the
> opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before."

> Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "never waste a good crisis"

> Bill Jenkins, market commentator: "We are not the noble people we once
> were. Much of our citizenry is infected with indolence. Multitudes
> look to the State as the supplier of everything from soup to nuts,
> cradle to grave, and womb to tomb. You can see it in the faces of
> ordinary Joes when they light up at getting their "tax refund."
> Forgetting the tremendous sum of money the state has already taken,
> they are just glad to "get something back. We have become a nation of
> slaves. Bound to the idea that the government will provide"

> Mencken, great investor: "The whole aim of practical politics is to
> keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety)."

> Right now, there's a big sideshow going on: bankers are being hauled
> over the flames and used as a scapegoat when it was government
> laziness and ignorance that let the children in the sandbox do what
> they want.

> Governments can't let the population get too rowdy. Torches and
> pitchforks on Capitol Hill alarms governments and they have to throw
> them a carcus, you see.

> So the politicians vilify the rich hand in hand with the media.

> But let's get real for a second. The rich and powerful control the
> world. They always have and they always will.

> The rich and powerful OWN the media and wish to make a profit from
> doing so. FEAR SELLS so the media peddle fear. By tuning into fear
> mongering news channels and newspapers you are making the rich and
> powerful richer.

> The rich and powerful are buddies with the politicians. They put them
> in power through contributions. They know that if a government
> strangles them too much they will take their business elsewhere.

> Why am I telling you these sad facts?

> Because I don't want you to waste your life away trying to change
> this. The world is just the way it is and that's that. True, if enough
> people marched through the streets and demanded a specific change and
> stood by their conviction, things would change. Alas, that won't
> happen. All that will happen is what is happening now: a bunch of
> political rhetoric to calm down the angry mob until they forget about
> it and move on.

> I'm sure that you, like so many right now, would like to lynch the
> boss of AIG and torture him to death. Let's say that you COULD do that
> right now. Will your situation have changed?

> No.

> The government, corporations and the media are mere reflections of the
> masses. Each of these 3 entities gives the people what they want. The
> products they want, the hopes and dreams they want, the right they
> think they have to a job and free handouts, the fears they have.

> The whole thing works nicely as long as everyone shuts up, pays their
> taxes and lives a docile and compliant existence. People meet at
> Starbucks and bitch about stuff, get it out of their system and go
> back to their jobs on Monday.

> By meeting you here, I know you're at least starting to question this
> whole game and wondering if you should play anymore. Of course, you
> should always pay your taxes, but there is a path to a more fulfilled
> life where you are free of what is in effect slavery to corporations,
> media and government. Indeed, as an investor, corporations and
> governments can become slaves to you as they compete to borrow your
> money through the issuance of bonds (IOUs) and pay you handsome
> interest.

> When you derive your income this way, that's when you've turned the
> tables on the whole system. You've got off the merry-go-round. You've
> decided NOT TO PARTICIPATE in the whole nonsense.

> This is the world of the sophisticated individual; the life of a
> League of Power member. Members don't delude themselves about the
> reality of the world, they simply slip between the cracks and prosper
> legally. Freedom comes when you break the chains you've attached from
> yourself to media, government and corporations.

> Remember: government and country are 2 different things! You can love
> your country but dislike your government. That is how this country was
> founded.

> Once you dump the media, you stop being frightened. The media now work
> for you- the fear and chaos that they cause makes anomalies appear in
> markets that you can take advantage of.

> Once you dump corporations- as in stop working for them and succumbing
> to their lame marketing campaigns to buy stuff you don't need- you
> become free. Income? Start your OWN corporation. Sell stuff back to
> these corporations. Make them pay you interest on bonds.

> Once you dump the politicians... well, I don't know what you had to
> gain hanging around with those people anyway! Instead of bitching
> about them devaluing the currency or whatever, a League of Power
> member makes money from the fact! A League of Power member is neither
> a Republican or a Democrat; they know it's all a big dog and pony show
> and that in reality, both parties will reflect the mob at any given
> moment. And when you think about it, how many people are Republican or
> Democrat because their father and their father before them was one?
> Does anyone question anything anymore?

> Have a great Spring Break. Take some time out to reflect and regroup.
> Life doesn't have to appear as the nightmare that the media and the
> politicians want you to see it as. Remember, it's all part of the big
> game- a game you don't have to play.
