    Americans too ignorant & Passive to Revolt?

    A good clip. Mostly in the beginning.

    Do you agree? Just let American go shopping with credit cards to buy flat screen TVs, and let them get car loans for SUVs and they will not only accept getting screwed, but they won't even be aware of it.

    Is there a global insurrection possible against corporate global banking occupation?

    Just let me stress that I like Americans and have some good friends there and without making this US bashing or a (generalisation friscofrankie) there is a grain of truth in what he is saying.

    One of the things I find so refreshing in my American friends is their seemingly carefree demeanour, they live sort of from day to day and don't take things to serious, a bit like we will take care of it when and if it comes, in many ways that is a very attractive mindset to be around and not necessarily always a negative.

    But I on the other hand sometimes have thought, oh my god they don't know shit and they don't care either, and then I usually smiled inside because I somehow liked it.

    Now however it perhaps is right that this lifestyle is not the most suitable in a crisis where it is necessary that people say stop some times before the political train leaves the station.

    Americans are like the Thais, lazy, superficial thinking, and very little educated about anything outside their country

    Expats seem to be the exceptions though,

    This is a fact that you'll never be able to impress on them. Head deep in indoctrination.

    ....throw in a few John Wayne films as well. If 'The Duke' doesn't make you feel good about yourself - I don't know what would.

    It really amazes me the majority of people still don't get the banking system, yet the idiots keep falling for it everytime, every year and every other generation.

    If you keep people in debt, you control them and their nations.

    I personally haven't use CC's for the last eight years and I will never buy anything again unless i have the cash for it. Something my father always did.

    I transfer money here because I am supposed to import so much to my bank account a month and draw that out and pay for living expenses with it.
    Last month I drew 20K I think at a cost of $5 and this month 35K at $8 and I buy food and a lot of stuff on CC and pay that in the US online banking for for my CC payments and it is a 1% currency fee for that money spent here, that is cheaper than I can do it thru a bank here, especially now with ATM fees,. if they have started that yet.
    CC are a tool that you can use and just remember that carrying a large debt is not interest free.
