When he said government takeover, he meant by buying all the banks and financial institutions.
Agreed.
I feel that is not all they intend though. bush was also talking about his 'pet' fed reserve; who we the people just got robbed in order to insure that the elite can continue in the lifestyle they've become accustomed to; would be buying up bad mortages.
Now, for some reason, to me. it sounds like they will be buying up all that land and assets while the people own less and less. They're buying themselves a kingdom.

I have always wondered how Americans would even survive if grocery stores were shut down for an extended period of time. What would they do for food? Kill their pets? Many families prefer fast-food dining. Would McDonald's still operate under a disaster?
I wish I could call myself a "survivalist," but I'm sadly far from it.

Personally, I don't like it. I mean, is everyone going to be paied the same wages on a single currency system reguardless of where they are living?
In that case I hope it means that people in Bangladesh and Somalia etc. will be paid decent wages for their hard work.
However, knowing what runs the world, ie greed, it's more likely that our wages will drop closer to theirs than the other way around.

Do you have a source for that? I am not saying that I don't believe it...I believe that rubbish would fall out of his mouth. Also on one of the other threads I am trying to get people to start petitions in thier area, call congressmen, call/email friends, whatever it will take that may not work but we will atleast have tried something.
It is my belief that he is going to screw us over yet again with trying to encourage that it's all okay. I feel a vasaline investment is in order

Well, technically, he is correct. It's not a Gov takeover, it's a Central Bank takeover.
Remember it is Federal Reserve Bank Intervention happening, and the Federal reserve bank is no more a Federal entity than Federal Express

The way I see it, there was a reason that they signed in that executive order that gave the government the right to seize all land, commercial businesses, and modes or transportation. They knew what they were doing from the door. They knew that they were going to use it, and they knew when and how.
This is not their first stab at trying to 'take' land and assets from the people.
Not so long ago they made a push to change eminent domain laws from taking for the good of the people to taking for the good of private parties. I'm not sure how many states refused to honor it, however, my state WAS one of them. It didn't work and so it wasn't long before that episode was allowed to fade into the memory hole.
It is quite possible that if they had gotten away with it they would not be looking for other ways now.

Good sense always tells me to take whatever George W. Bush says and assume the exact opposite to be the truth.
Take that however you wish.
