You should actually watch your own videoedit on 10-12-2010 by jfj123 because: (no reason given)
So if opium is the Taliban's main source of funding, why are US troop guarding the opium crop?
Of course, opium is not the Taliban's main source of funding - it can't be, since they actively tried to eradicate it prior to our invasion.
Who's selling the opium the US troops are guarding?
Who are the drug traffickers?

“… we conclude that the [Federal] Reserve Banks are not federal … but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations … without day-to-day direction from the federal government..—9th Circuit Court in Lewis vs. United States, 680 F. 2d 1239 June 24, 1982”
“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.—Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the private International Banking House of Rothschild.”
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. — Thomas Jefferson in the debate over his opposition to the Re-charter of the Private Bank Bill (1809).”
“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies…—Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816.”
“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.—Sir Josiah Stamp, president of the Rothschild Bank of England and the second richest man in Britain in the 1920s, speaking at the University of Texas in 1927.”
“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.—The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863, laying the groundwork for the eventual passage of their catastrophic Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913”
“It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.—Henry Ford inventor and founder of the Ford Motor Company.—Congressional Record 12595-12603 — Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency (12 years) June 10, 1932”
“Some [most] people think the Federal Reserve Banks are U.S. government institutions. They are not … they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the U.S. for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will.”

Maybe you should think more. You are crying about liberties being taken away.
I was simply voicing my opinion about another useless topic started by mnemeth1. Just look at his topic list, they are all the same subject. Just more crying about taxes and government, while he does absolutely nothing about it.

Not to get off topic and BTW I'm new here, so maybe there are a few things that I don't get... like, what's all the bickering about? For example, if certain people do not enjoy reading the topics of a particular author/person, then why read them and turn around and complain about "how useless they are" ?
Before anyone gets bent out of shape, I'm not attacking anyone...I'm just saying, seems pointless to me.

My position is theft is immoral, including theft from "rich" people.
Of course, as a percentage of income, the poor are "rich" as far as the government is concerned.

So, we should penalize the productive members of our society, by stealing their money and redistributing it to the unproductive members of society. Is that about right?

I am disappointed by the topic and title.
All I saw on the ATS home page was this:
"US Government Violently Assaults Hollywood Actor For Failing To Fund Illegal Wars"
Because of the title I thought, "oh man that sounds interesting, I'm gonna read it!". I click the link, and read the topic, only to find out it was an out right lie. An exaggerated sensationalist title and topic. No actor was violently assaulted EVER. In fact, the actor complied with requests and cooperated. There was no violence, or assault. I was SCAMMED, and CONNED into reading this topic by the author.
It turns out.... mnemeth1 (the OP) has a history of doing this. I am constantly lured in by his deceptive topic titles only to find out he was lying and exaggerating.... then I read more of the same rants that he always posts about the government. It is basically a duplicate topic disguised as a new topic. It's getting old.. and it makes ATS look like extremist retarded anti-government liars.
