America must go global in its support and pursuit of democracy OR THEY WILL SOON BE FOLLOWING INSTEAD OF LEADING.

To go global they have to clean house and tell their own people all the lies they have forced upon them.Then they have to inform their people that they are no more important than any other human on earth,that we are all equal and entitled to an equal share of the earths resources,period.
Like you said it would be dangerous to try to rearrange your furniture.Why dont you ask yourself why you seem to think its YOUR FURNITURE and not OUR FURNITURE?Oh yes ,I forgot,your guns,right!

It seems to me that he does not see the larger picture of who or what is orchestrating this mess.
There is someone at the top, depicted by the eye
in the capstone of the pyramid. He is not human.
This information is still very useful, and the real answers are spiritual, which I don't expect everyone to understand.
The Masonic Illuminati along with the Vatican are sorcerers.
They know what they are doing, and whom they serve.
Just say NO! and the course of history can change!

I'd have to think that "main street media" is PRECISELY the term to use. That is where the average "man in the street" gets his news from, and why these elites types are finding it so easy to manipulate and maintain control, which I believe concerned a large part of the interview.
"main street" differentiates THAT media from "alternate" news sources.
As a side note, "two bits" is 25 cents. The term comes from the habit of dividing Spanish gold coins (specifically the "piece of eight" coin of the pirate mythos) into 8 bits each for smaller purchases during colonial days. Hence "2 bits" was 2/8 of the coin, =1/4, equated nowadays with 1/4 dollar, or 25 cents.

the Fed holds a pivotal role in our financial well-being. They also are to insure the soundness and stability of the banking system. If our banking system breaks down it is the fault of the Fed. When that happens it should not be the province of the Fed to commit trillions of dollars of taxpayer money to bail out its own owners.
You can get an idea of the incestuous nature of the Fed and Wall Street in looking at the select committee that not that long ago picked Timothy Geithner to head the NY Fed.
Hank Greenberg defrocked former Chairman of AIG, who for some reason was never criminally prosecuted in the scandal;
John Whitehead a former Chairman of Goldman Sachs;
Peter Peterson, a former Chairman of Lehman Bros.;
and Walter Shipley, a former Chairman of Chase Manhattan, now with JP Morgan Chase.
We wonder why the media never questions these kinds of connections all of which are tied together by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Then there is the composition of the NY Fed board on which six board members are public representatives. We do not see any common business people on this board. They are all very wealthy New Yorkers, who are all connected to one another. There have been occasionally members of labor and academia, but they can only be considered tokens. It is very definitely an insiders club.
This means the Fed’s real consideration is the maximizing of profits for banking, Wall Street, insurance and real estate.
This goal of almost 100 years has made these individuals and their families’ mega-rich. Competent or incompetent they always win.
They have information and intelligence no one else has and you can be sure their inner circle has the same privileged information.
As usual they are essentially unregulated, which gives the Fed an additional advantage. The lack of banking oversight of recent years has brought our entire financial system into insolvency. We do not know how you could call it anything else when most major banks, brokerage houses, some insurance companies and other lenders are simply broke. The Fed, and particularly the NY Fed, has been complicit in banks and brokerage houses using leverage of more than 50 times assets. In some cases such as JP Morgan Chase the figures are much higher [...]

and i used the 2 bit slang in earnest, saying the 40wt bulb is priced around 2 bits ... the .40 cent price is the nominal price of a bulb, generally and .40 cents is around 2 bits (=.50 cents)
So, in your logic... i should have said '2 Bits' minus a 'Tic'...
it was common knowledge that a 'Tic' connotated .08 cents until we went into dollar divisions.
sheeze, spare me the Sophistry

Just a quick question here, and my apologies if this has already been answered.
But it seems to me this interview would work much better as a podcast. What was the reasoning for posting it in transcript format only and not releasing the audio....?
