Derivatives and the Banks that OWN us.
« on: April 23, 2012, 04:46:03 AM »
Linked below is an interesting visual of the TIDAL WAVE of debt and gluttony that our banks amassed through Derivatives (defined therein).  I have no way to determine the reliability of this information.  Perhaps others can offer an explanation.

Derivatives were explained to be similar to selling or buying insurance/hedges on property that you don't own. It was also explained to be a way round leveraged buying laws that were passed after the crash of 29 because the leveraged buying had such a large part in the crash. ear

An economic crash like the one of the 1920s is the only thing that will get the US off of the road to Socialism that we are on and give our children a chance at a future with freedom and possibility of economic success.
