Things either are as they appear to be;

or they are, but do not appear to be;
or they are not, and yet, appear to be.

because  the Congress long ago legislated to PAY the Fed for fiat money created from nothing; and to pay interest on that phantom money fictionally "loaned" to Congress.  Why did Congress do that? Griffen says it is because otherwise Congress would have had to pay for its activities using real money acquired from taxation instead of fiat money created from nothing.

Also, although Griffin does not mention the fact, the IRS is NOT a US government institution. Like The Fed itself, the IRS is a privately owned company. Nor did Griffin  note that the US income tax payments that go directly to the Fed are UNTAXED in the hands of the stockholders! Think of what could be done with such sums of money! Over say, a century, one could buy and pay for almost everyone and everything in the whole world.

Griffen clearly indicates the financial basis used by the Illuminati banking families to establish and maintain the Matrix. The Matrix, as we know, has transfixed  the consciousness of most people in the world today, much as one might dazzle a rabbit in a spotlight when hunting at night. Although sleepwalkers scoff at the idea of a handful of mega rich families controlling our world, Griffen succinctly explains how the mega bucks needed to fund that control are acquired. In effect, colossal wealth comes from printing money out of thin air globally via Central Banks and the fractional reserve system they administer, AND lending that money at interest (usury). Also, incredible sums of money are paid to The Fed by the US government as interest on phantom fiat money conjured into existence and "loaned" to the US Congress.  Thus, until the recent global money meltdown, the banksters were able to "own", either literally or via bribery, patronage or blackmail, most governments, security services, trusts, corporations, scientific and educational institutions, publishers, media and entertainment conglomerates and individuals et al everywhere in the world.

Once one understands that a few families control most of the money in the world it is not hard to see that control of that money can lead to control (power over) global societies.

Fortunately the Russians have already experienced what life in such a totalitarian system is like and managed to throw off the yoke of the bankster funded Zionist Bolsheviks so they are no longer controlled by the banksters.That is why Russia is now prosperous and, as a consequence, the US and Western Zionist media is ramping up a new Cold War against Russia. That ploy will not work because the greedy banksters have over reached themselves and the global money meltdown started with the sub prime debacle is now entering the serious stage of bringing to book the multi-trillions of dollars of worthless derivatives gambled by the banks in recent years. The result will be bankruptcy for many banks, financial institutions, corporations and the US and EU economies. Russia, China, India and some others will survive, though damaged. In fact Russia will almost certainly play a leading role in saving the world for the freedom and liberty of sovereign human individuals as the corrupt Western global financial, monetary and economic systems collapse.

Anyway cobbers, give Griffen's audio a hearing. We all need to know this important part of US history because it affects everyone on planet Earth. Hopefully we may be able to get others to listen to Griffen as well. If possible I suggest writing letters to newspapers giving the Griffen presentation's web reference address and suggesting that people listen to it for themselves. Hopefully some papers will print such letters and some readers will follow up and learn something for themselves.

A good hook for writing to the papers might be the constantly discussed (at least in Oz) topic of interest rates. Most media commentators pretend that INFLATION is caused by excessive DEMAND by consumers. The truth ALWAYS is that inflation is caused by EXCESSIVE money supply ie the banks creating too much money out of thin air. That is always the real cause of inflation because, as Griffen points out, it dilutes the value of existing currency. The current banking money meltdown problem though, is caused by banks being unable or unwilling to lend freely because they have had large losses and do not have reserves of even 10% of the loans they have already issued. The Catch 22 in the US and elsewhere is that the Fed (or the relevant Central Bank in other jurisdictions) is lending huge sums of money to commercial banks to enable them to stay afloat but the banks are unable or unwilling to lend freely to each other or to consumers. The result is continuing Central Bank driven hyper-inflation on Wall Street (bailing out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, IndyMac et al) and in the UK (Northern Rock et al) and the EU, coupled with deflation out in the real world where it is increasingly hard to get credit (money) from banks.

Happy listening.
