KEN’S CORNER: What Thomas Jefferson Told Us … Hits Home!

KEN’S CORNER: What Thomas Jefferson Told Us … Hits Home!

By TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive

Of all of our founding fathers, none seemed to grasp with true insight what we face as a nation today than Thomas Jefferson. He saw firsthand how governments grow to overshadow civil liberties, and from an historical perspective, realized how these intuitions had fallen by their own corruption and selfish influences. He has had hundreds of quotes taken from thousands of letters and papers that address our plight as a nation today, and though all of them are profound in their own way, this quote hits the problems we face squarely:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

America belongs to We the People.

Why have some corporations taken such a beating since the housing bubble of 2007-08, while others have been bailed out, flourishing to the point of large management bonus incentives? Why have Americans lost 35 percent of their net worth, and told to just be patient as it slowly returns at 1.8 percent per year? Why is there so much corporate and national debt, and why is it still growing, doubling in just the last decade to top a staggering $20 trillion.

A term they use is “over-leveraging,” but what that really means is too much debt. Debt that is transferred to our children, and it is a debt that can never be paid. So great is this amount, we can’t even pay the interest on it, and new money has to be printed so that we do not foreclose. Nonviable corporations not part of this cartel are now dead, and yet they want to increase our debt without restraint. They call it an unlimited ceiling. If we cannot stop this, our country will surely die in foreclosure… and yet, most people have no idea that we had doubled the national debt in just 8 years… more debt than every president has acquired since President Washington. This money is unaccountable too… as they are above all law…Trillions missing from the Pentagon, an untold amount missing from the vaults of Twin Tower during 911, printing money out of thin air unchecked and unaudited, and transfers without permission from anyone, and hidden from view? What lunacy is this?

Let us define the Jefferson quote… with the hope of finding a standard to bear…

When a privately owned banking cartel is in league with a privately owned business called the Federal Reserve, it becomes more powerful than our own Government. By the use of influential lobbyists, they are allowed to disregard our Constitution with clearly states that only Congress has the ability to coin money based on Gold and Silver… They are allowed to create what is called fiat money, and this money is not based on anything but a promise. This private cartel can lend this newly created money at below free-market interest rates to corporations they are vested in, causing debt. As these corporations overextend themselves without a productive balance, a foreseeable consequence occurs… inflation.

If you noticed a price rise at the market, this is inflation, a hidden tax, it rapes us of our wealth and heritage. The market takes a dive when investors review spreadsheets and see what is described as “toxic” assets, and they sell us gold and silver as a hedge for an inflation they are creating. It is a good and profitable game and we play right into their hands. True growth, in a healthy economy, comes from both productivity and investing, and they can withdraw from the market if something is too difficult to evaluate, or seems too fishy… But there is another tool… something that pushes investors past sound judgment… The Derivative.

This driving force is called “derivatives,” or CDSs and CDOs, and so when investors collectively see the potential failing of one of these insolvent corporations. they collectively, and in droves, have a massive sell-off, and in most cases just sit on their liquid assets until an opportunity presents itself in the future. This is what Trump wants to return to our shore… A choice few, however, with what is called “insider information” will have more to work with than speculation, but proprietary knowledge. They invest in what is called a “put” option, where they buy when a stock is high, and sell when the stock is low.

Behind the Curtain…

One amazing example of this insider manipulation of the market occurred just three days prior to 9-11 on both United and American Airlines, and all investigations into these trades are now proprietary knowledge, for national security, as mandated by the Obama Administration, and seemingly directed from the interior of the Military Industrial Complex. I suggest you study this… all of our futures are at stake.’

To me, nothing in my lifetime is more profound, even knowing that The Tonkin Incident was a False Flag justification to war with Vietnam. What does a boy know at 19, being drafted for two years to fight… Or an Uncle who clams he was a test subject for a nuclear blast in the 1940s, now dying of cancer, or that Agent Orange and sniper bullets took the lives of High School friends… or that 48 thousand of my brothers died there. But who in America has not been touched by the tragedy of war? War, never ending, since the day I was born in 1949.

It is evident by a paper trail that some insiders on Wall Street had prior knowledge that United and American Airline stock would take a plunge after 9-11, and bet on it in a put option. Almost three thousand people died that day, civil liberties suspended, with trillions spent on wars killing millions, and it was designed? What kind of animals are these? There were people who actually profited from 9-11, who could have stopped it, and the information that could have found them out was stifled saying it was proprietary, that it had to be kept hidden… because it threatened national security?

Take a pause here…

For the rest of us not in the loop, we lose.. Slaves to a system with tentacles in every aspect of our reality. But those monetary losses did not just disappear in a wisp of smoke, they were absorbed in a rigged system, a system designed to do just that, control interest rates, print money out of thin air, control inflation and deflation, and both prescribed and anticipated booms and busts are orchestrated. The money is so great, they can destroy whole countries… Even in tragedy, in war, bankers have methods incorporated into a system they created, to make money on both destruction and reconstruction. It is nation building for a New World Order, controlled by them, and our boys die in war to make it happen.

Some of these Corporations caught up in this leverage-game were not bailed out, and they quickly went out of business, and bought for pennies on the dollar (as we are again seeing during the coronavirus fiasco). This is why we had such massive unemployment, along with the loss of their employee retirement funds entirely invested in these corporate stocks. But one cannot glean the true magnitude of this problem unless realizing that both collateral and dividends were lost as well, as one propped up the other. This influenced the loss of property with a busting housing bubble, as it was overextended and poised to fail, as both prescribed and predicted. Bankers began cleaning up, absorbing these properties like parasitical carpetbaggers, both scavengers and predators, depending on circumstance.

As debt, service on a mortgage is usually the largest bill of a household. The unemployed will have their homes taken away for a fraction of what they owe, and at 2/3 of the appraised value, the bank will win. These international bankers have put in place a system designed to enslave us in debt, and by the use of fiat money, as calculated by Paul Warburg, the prime architect of the Federal Reserve System, we participate in what is called “voluntary servitude.”

In all intent, banks own us, lock, stock, and barrel.

Author’s note: I have a personal experience I’d like to share. Back in the latter part of 1978, interest rates had risen in my area to over 20 percent for home loans. I was a Vietnam Veteran, newly graduated from college and with a good paying job in the oilfields of Louisiana as a Mud Engineer. The oilfields were kicking. I wanted to leave the ethnic and violent turmoil of New Orleans to a place where my wife and I could raise our family in relative safety, and we chose Crowley Louisiana, 20 miles past Lafayette.

I chose Crowley not only because I like a family-oriented rural community, but that that particular parish would combine a Veteran Home Loan, which would require little or no down payment, with bond money set aside for young people to get a good start. My loan was a 10.95 percent, and I thought I was one smart cookie. Since the builder was from Lafayette, they told me I had to come up with a down payment of $3,000, as the appraised value indicated. I signed the papers. But wait…

Four years later I still owed something like $83,000 on my loan, when the oilfields were used as a sacrificial lamb by President Regan to destroy the USSR, supplying Osama Ben Laden with weapons to fight Russian boys in Afghanistan. Said to be their Vietnam, this scenario was designed to stop them from building a pipeline through the country. He and Saudi flooded the market with cheap oil, and broke the economic back of the country, causing them to default. We are very close to that now. But wait…

I could not find work. I went years going from one consulting job to the next, until a friend asked me if I would move my family to the Cayman Islands for an administrative assistant job. I took it, and left my home with three months in the rear. Seven other homes in my subdivision had been given to the banks, but none of them had a government loan. So I did some research.

My home was appraise around 44 thousand dollars, and I still owed 83K. The doors were opened for anyone to view it, and in a month it was scheduled to go on the auction block with the stipulation that it must bring in 2/3 of the appraised value. That was 33 thousand dollars. But wait…

I looked back on that paper I had originally signed and found the Government guaranteed the bank exactly $33,000. That has haunted me ever since. It was emphatic to me, even at such a young age, that the banking system knew full well that this was going to happen four years prior, to the penny. But wait…

I was told the difference of the sale and what I owed would be on my shoulders, unless I declared bankruptcy. I decided to borrow $8,000 dollars from a Canadian Bank, whose manager was my next door neighbor in Cayman. I wired that money to the note-owner bank with a letter demanding that they lock up my home. My home. When they received that money, I was five months behind.

After two years, paying on both my property monthly, and a condominium in Cayman, we moved back to Louisiana. It was an eye-opening experience as I realized that the Veteran’s administration did not protect me at all, but the bank. Both working together for a common cause, an evident conspiracy on paper, goes over the heads of most Americans. Americans who are slaves, just like I am, to this very day.

This past year I got a call from an old high school friend who told me that my writings were traitorous. He lives in the hill country of California in isolation, dying of cancer, and hoped that Obama Care would be his salvation with new and free drugs, even a cure for cancer. I asked him if the pendulum could swing both ways? What are we to do if we find out that our Government is betraying our trust? What is my (our) responsibility knowing this?. He hung up the phone with a thundering slam, never to be heard from again. He even blocked my calls. What a loss. I’ve known him since High School, and he is dying in a California desert. What a place to die?

I can’t say I know what we can do about this. I suppose that knowledge is our best weapon, and we are in very short supply of that. What would Mr. Jefferson do if he found himself in America today? I’d say he would make a bee-line to the door of Dr. Ron Paul. They have a lot in common, including a lack of oratory ability. And I ask myself every day: What would he be doing now if he had made President? Seems to me we would have the strongest military on earth, and peace. But there would be no profit in that, for the bankers who play us like puppets on a string. And that sir, is why he is not president. But then… let’s hope that president Trump does not become part of the swamp.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
