As Phillip Long notes below we elect presidents but we do not elect the power that rules presidents and that is why it matters little which of the selected candidates wins, the elite's agenda will continue to destroy the world. It is time for the world to wake up to the fact that a debt-based monetary system has empowered the worst most uncompassionate and brutal killers in the world. Apacolyse now! We are agents of the apocalypse, literally 'lifting the veil' on the crimes of the elite. (usury+) It is time to end their world and the build a new one based on love instead of fear. We can do it by changing the money system from a private debt to a public asset. You cannot pay debt with all money issued as debt.

The fatal blind-spot that most (all?) thinkers on the "left" (the center and right as well for that matter) have when it comes to money and banking, is that they all assume that banks lend savers' deposits to borrowers, when in fact this never happens, and so the banks not only lend the money, they create the money, and thus make the whole economy (and polity) entirely dependent on them - they have "the upper hand" over everyone else; industrialists, unionists, media, and politicians. It's a 'hidden hand' because of the general ignorance of the basic fact that banks create money when they make loans (and destroy it when loans are repaid) - thus, the entire money supply is rented from the banks; they're the ultimate rentiers (not landlords, not industrialists). The landlords and industrialists are all in debt to the banks too and are now subsumed by them. This allows a massive accumulation of wealth and power in those greedy private hands.
