A recent talking point re-emerges in another light....

Yes, I've heard what I dismissed as paranoid tales about the Fed,
mostly connecting it with the dread "Illuminati" ("Yes, yes. Thirteen
of us rule the world"--and all that rot) for a couple of decades, now.
I don't really need a conspiracy to believe that banks are out to do
no one but themselves much by way of actual good, but that doesn't
mean they're not out to get us. It seems, and the current evidence
against and the inaccessibility of the rotters who so recently trashed
the world economy suggests, that the upper echelons of the banking
cartels--in this case, specifically of the Fed--operate in a safe and
secure remove from the world. To my knowledge, only Iceland so far has
prosecuted any bankers, and I do not think they have been able to
bring any but their own to account.
Uff! down the rabbit hole.
The reason I posted this here, specifically, was the Kennedy speech
I'd posted a few weeks back appears again at the end of this piece
juxtaposed as if directed specifically against the banking cartels,
rather than against the "Communists" who were already the bug-bears of
the previous decade. I think everyone knows that Kennedy was a Cold
Warrior. That one's been pretty well worked into dumb acceptance. But,
is it possible he was the last President to actually set himself
against the Fed and the banking mafia? Was his paranoia speech a
cryptic warning regarding something the American public wasn't already
paranoid about at the time? Was it really just a toss-off blah-blah to
the newsies trying to get them off his back so he could diddle Marilyn
in peace? I mean, just askin'.
