Close Call For US Banks
Is Politics Our Only Hope?
Here's an excerpt from an interview with Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic Silver Corp. I encourage you to read the full interview here, but I had to share the following quote. I agree with his analysis, but if our only hope of averting a world crontrolled by the banksters is for politicians to all of a sudden do the right thing, then we're doomed already. Politicians are not paid to "do the right thing." Politicians are paid to represent the interests of those who put up the money to get them elected, and that AIN'T us!

"I’m an optimist. I believe one day that governments will rewrite the rules and force the regulators to protect investors. That’s where we were back in the ‘70s and that’s where I think we have to be again to correct the problems that have arisen over the past 40 years. Silver is being revalued. It’s going to affect a lot of people along the way and it will change the financial system. Ultimately, we’re going to have a new financial system and, hopefully, we’ll go back to natural markets, completely driven by supply and demand. It may take another 20 years but I think it will happen."

"If I’m wrong, the banks will run the world, even more so than they do today, 10 or 20 years from now. God forbid that we ever get there because that’s a one currency, one government world that would absolutely be a disaster for the human race. There would be no freedoms at all to move or to invest. It would be like having shackles on our ankles. There is a movement to go in that direction, unfortunately. There are a number of very wealthy people that want to see that. I hope that we can find the politicians to prevent that type of world from coming to pass."
