The October 2008 Collapse

October 2008, the greatest calamity the world has ever known marked the last day Father Fed would take care of us. The Bank of the Fed is Closed…Forever

• 35 Million Americans on Food Stamps: 12 Percent of U.S. Population on Food Stamps Highest Since Records Kept in 1969, and that’s before the Obama administration announced a planned three-year budget freeze on government discretionary spending. (My Budget 360)
• 18 Million empty houses in the United States and 39 million Americans who are no longer working or looking for work, and that’s before Federal Reserve finishes rewriting the rules of American “capitalism” as US Housing, the Automobile Industry and the American Dream are dismantled. (The 31-Year-Old in Charge of Dismantling G.M., David E. Sanger)

In 2010 there were over 150 million Americans who feel stress over the prospect of joblessness, joylessness and homelessness. Over 60 percent of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck.” (The Economic Elite vs. People of the USA, David DeGraw) [6]

That would be a lot of younger women in their child rearing years worrying about living “paycheck to paycheck” because Father Fed is no longer giving up their real wealth, to take care of them.

Younger women, pre-feminist goddesses, want to connect with male power: a man who can project that he can “take care of her and her offspring.” That handsome stud at the nightclub spending his money and partying all night is no longer, if it ever really was, a turn on. [7]

“Males are visual when it comes to age, but females aren’t interested in a man’s age (especially if they already have children) so much because males remain virile well into the later part of their lifespan.” [8]

An older man can be the image financial stability. Add in three days a week at the gym, a high self-esteem and a Hugo Boss wardrobe; a man can then project the subtlest of gestures, actions and attitudes of a dominant male who can take care of her.

No, this isn’t a Sugar Daddy thing. A Sugar Daddy relationship is one where the woman pretends to be turned on in exchange for being taken care of. In this case the woman is turned on because she is being taken care of.

“Women possess a deeply rooted pre-intellectual *instinct* which compels them to submit themselves for copulation in the presence of what they sense to be a Dominant Male [thanks to Father Fed women have concealed this instinct with the workings of their more rational mind].

However, if a woman consents to have sex with a man who has set off these automatic desires in her, she stands to enter into the hottest, most fulfilling sensual experience that it is possible for her to have.” [7]

[2] Patriarchy literally means "rule of fathers", from (patriarkhes), "father" or "chief of a race, patriarch". Gender Roles for men and women result from Patriarchy, a social system in which the role of the male as the primary authority figure is central to social organization, and where fathers hold authority over women, children, and property. It implies the institutions of male rule and privilege, and is dependent on female subordination. Historically, patriarchy has manifested itself in the social, legal, political, and economic organization of a range of different cultures. Patriarchy also has a strong influence on modern civilization, although many cultures have moved towards a more egalitarian social system over the past century.

According to Robert M. Strozier, historical research has not yet found a specific "initiating event" of the origin of patriarchy. Some scholars point to about six thousand years ago (4000 BCE), when the concept of fatherhood took root, as the beginning of the spread of patriarchy.

[3] The Federal Reserve assumed the male’s role starting at the turn of the 19^th century.

Capitalism was viewed as the source of exploitation and economic insecurity for "the working class," who were now dependent for their livelihood upon the apparent whims of the "capitalist class."

The “welfare state” was the solution to capitalism's alleged cruelty. A vast and bloated welfare bureaucracy made millions perpetual wards of a patriarchal state while at the same time drained society of the idea that freedom meant self-responsibility. The ideal and the principle of the market economy was never fulfilled. What is called capitalism today is a distorted, twisted and deformed system of increasingly limited market relationships as well as market processes hampered and repressed by state controls and regulations. And overlaying this entire system are the ideologies of 18th-century mercantilism, 19th-century socialism, and 20th-century welfare statism.

In this perverse development and evolution of "historical capitalism," the institutions necessary for a truly free-market economy have been either undermined or prevented from emerging. And the principles and actual meaning of a free-market economy have become increasingly misunderstood and lost. But it is the principles and the meaning of a free-market economy that must be rediscovered if liberty is to be saved and the burden of historical capitalism is to be overcome.

October 2008 marked the last day the men behind the Federal Reserve were willing take care of us. Our no limit credit care used to go shopping for useless toxic stuff was cancelled…forever. The Bank of the Fed is Closed…Forever

Steven Kopits, managing director of Douglas-Westwood, notes the US oil demand in a mild recession declines about 3%.

“In the current recession, oil demand briefly dropped nearly 3 mbpd from its peak, about half of which occurred in September 2008 in the aftermath of the collapse of financial markets following the bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers. If we allow that this will be a severe – but not catastrophic – recession, then a drop of 7%, or 1.5 mbpd of US consumption from peak to trough, is entirely possible.” Recession & Oil Demand by Steven Kopits

Steven estimates that the earth is “benefiting” from the 2008 recession at the rate of 1,500,000 barrels per day!

Contrary to what you see every week on ’Sex and the City’, women are the complete opposite of men in that, the more *anonymous* the sexual encounter, the LESS gratifying they find it to be.

Unlike the fictional uber-slut Miranda, satisfying sex does not begin and end with the quest to find someone new to have an orgasm with. For the vast majority of women, the MORE connected they feel to their partner, the more overwhelming the total sexual experience is for them.

Just the reverse of typical male thinking, right? Men are intensely turned on by the thought of having sex with a woman for that very FIRST time, or by scoring a one-night stand with a perfect stranger, or perhaps fantasizing about being in a porno movie and having wanton sex with dozens of hot women he hardly knows. The common link between all these scenarios is that there is NO emotional bonding involved. Hell, there’s hardly even an exchange of names! For the man, the more anonymous the sex the more *exciting* the idea of the conquest.

How the two genders make use of (and even exploit) this knowledge of each other’s romantic weakness, however, is an entirely DIFFERENT story. Click here to read the rest by Mike Pilinski

Athletics are the closest thing to a male demonstrating courage, bravery and strength or Male Power.

Why Athletes Get all the Chicks On the playing field, it becomes much easier to judge genetic superiority in ways that may be more valuable to the gene pool than simple sexual attraction. “Sport may provide a context within which females can gain information about male quality to inform this choice.”

So if you want a girl like Adriana Lima, you had better be really good at something that anyone can appreciate, regardless of knowledge. Acting would be a good choice. Musician is pretty solid. And we know you can’t go wrong with sports.

Modern [consumer] society is not structured for a man to display courage, bravery or strength. If his family is threatened he calls 911because if he shoots the intruder he is likely to be arrested and sued. And forget volunteering to go to war. Today conflicts around the globe are not about protecting the homeland, but making the world safe for democracy (shopping). This explains the increase in black men and attractive white women.

[From Chapter 1 of Secrets of the Federal Reserve The London Connection By Eustace Mullins]

On the night of November 22, 1910, a group of newspaper reporters stood disconsolately in the railway station at Hoboken, New Jersey. They had just watched a delegation of the nation’s leading financiers, leave the station on a secret mission.

It would be years before they discovered what that mission was, and even then they would not understand [the mission or] that the history of the United States underwent a drastic change as the financiers compiled a scientific currency system for the United States, the real birth of the present Federal Reserve System.

The Jekyll Island Club was chosen as the place to draft the plan for control of the money and credit of the people of the United States, not only because of its isolation, but also because it was the private preserve of the people who were drafting the plan.

The New York Times later noted, on May 3, 1931, in commenting on the death of George F. Baker, one of J.P. Morgan’s closest associates, that “One-sixth of the total wealth of the world was represented by the members of the Jekyll Island Club.” Membership was by inheritance only.”

Why all the secrecy? Why this thousand mile trip in a closed railway car to a remote hunting club? Ostensibly, it was to carry out a program of public service, to prepare banking reform which would be a boon to the people of the United States, which had been ordered by the National Monetary Commission. The participants were no strangers to public benefactions. Usually, their names were inscribed on brass plaques, or on the exteriors of buildings which they had donated. This was not the procedure which they followed at Jekyll Island. No brass plaque was ever erected to mark the selfless actions of those who met at their private hunt club in 1910 to improve the lot of every citizen of the United States.

In fact, no benefaction took place at Jekyll Island. The Aldrich group journeyed there in private to write the banking and currency legislation which the National Monetary Commission had been ordered to prepare in public. At stake was the future control of the money and credit of the United States. If any genuine monetary reform had been prepared and presented to Congress, it would have ended the power of the elitist one world money creators. Jekyll Island ensured that a central bank would be established in the United States which would give these bankers everything they had always wanted. [End excerpt from Chapter 1 of Secrets of the Federal Reserve]

Revisionist History suggests that benefaction did in fact take place at Jekyll Island.

The huddled masses should be thanking those scoundrels at the Federal Reserve for 75 years of banking and currency regulations: It resulted in unprecedented prosperity, but don’t forget to blame them because the American dream, according to the GEO4, a massive United Nations Report, put the planet at the unknown points of no return.”

Claims about historically significant amount of wealth

According to the New York Times obituary, “it was estimated after Mr. Rockefeller retired from business that he had accumulated close to $1,500,000,000 out of the earnings of the Standard Oil trust and out of his other investments. This was probably the greatest amount of wealth that any private citizen had ever been able to accumulate by his own efforts.”

Notwithstanding these varied aspects of his public life, Rockefeller may ultimately be remembered simply for the raw size of his wealth. In 1902, an audit showed Rockefeller was worth about $200 million—compared to the total national GDP of $101 billion then. His wealth continued to grow significantly (in line with U.S. economic growth) after as the demand for gasoline soared, eventually reaching about $900 million on the eve of WWI, including significant interests in banking, shipping, mining, railroads, and other industries. By the time of his death in 1937, Rockefeller’s remaining fortune, largely tied up in permanent family trusts, was estimated at $1.4 billion. According to some methods of wealth calculation, Rockefeller’s net worth over the last decades of his life would easily place him as the wealthiest known person in recent history. As a percentage of the United States’ GDP, no other American fortune—including Bill Gates or Sam Walton—would even come close. www.johndrockefeller.org
