of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses... This little coterie...run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...seizes...our executive officers...legislative bodies...schools...

The current American currency value is declining at an alarming rate.
As the dollar falls, the fate of the average American falls with it.
"With the dollar privilege passing, the U.S. confronts a radically different situation than in the past, and a tormenting process of changing the accustomed world-view is on the horizon.
"However, even as of now, the role of the euro as a rival to the U.S. dollar is rarely a subject of concern in the United States.

"‘A weaker dollar, generally speaking, is better for business and bad for consumers,’ said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Economy.com, a forecasting firm.
"‘If the dollar’s decline is orderly, then inflation will rise, but very modestly,’ he said. ‘In a darker scenario, the process is not smooth, interest rates rise more and the pain we feel will be more significant, in large part because of problems in the housing market. The housing market will get crushed, and that will reverberate through the economy’." - Consumers Could Cet Caught Under Falling Dollar
