Top Senate Democrat Dick Durbin (IL), blurted out on a radio talk show a very well known truth on Capitol Hill.

 Bankers "Own" the U.S. Congress

Despite the current financial calamity that is the banking cartel, this industry continues to be the biggest lobbying group on The Hill.  They caused our current financial mess, and they own the place.  This Cause and Effect paradox by the same system is mind numbing and an outrage.

Unless you live in a cave, all of you should know by now that the banking system controls our Government, other World Governments and in essence every man woman and child to walk Earth.  This is no longer a hidden secret and one that must be addressed in order for true change to occur so we can move forward.

Banking and money affects every ounce of human fabric and will continue to do so as long as we accept it.  No matter what the issue is, what legislation is brought to the forefront, or what war we engage in, the banking industry makes obscene amounts of profits.

Here is a link to an article from Salon.com.

One example of this is War.  Wars are meant to be sustained because they are big business for the banks.  As Two-Time Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Major General Smedley D. Butler - USMC Retired said:  "War Is A Racket"  Read the link below - A Big Eye Opener

Tony, after today, I sure thought it was the Auto Industry and the Unions that own the Congress

Tony, interesting the big to do that is being made over a statement we already knew.  There is no way anyone could function in this country without first getting the blessing of the bank.  Are we done yet?

Tim and Pam:  Not even close.  The Fed usurps the Gov't so the banks dominate.

Terry:  not sure what you were saying in your first sentence.  Are we done with what?

Tony, you got it wrong bro.

No one owns congress. They are suppose to represent you and me aren't they?

Ha Ha.

Fact is careerist politicians are chattel. Their only interest is in perpetuating their jobs so they can have pensions better than any autoworker.

regarding General Butler:

Reminds me of ,John Murtha the king of Pork --only the General accomplished much, much more in his honorable service to his country and unlike Murtha,  didn't "eat his own" (Hadith Marines)

Just reading the first few lines of his book, gave me the impression he was a  pretty bitter man. And he had an axe to grind with those (industrialists) who "never shouldered a rifle, or dug a trench." He served honorably and was highly decorated and obviously he had belly full. But, I wouldn't take what he said as gospel. Quite a difference between a man like this and say a John Kerry, Vietnam Vet and Jane Fonda loving peace-nik

--This from wikipedia about the General--

 In 1934, he alleged to the United States Congress that a group of wealthy industrialists had plotted a military coup known as the Business Plot to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The allegations were controversial and hurt his post-military standing

Unfortunately, wars will always be. There will always be a need for Guns. There will always be a need for people to make them, sell them and for those who are willing to pick them up and use them. To think this is absurd, is absurd.

John:  I know they don't "literally" own Congress.  How naive do you think I am?  The point of the matter is they line the pockets of politicians with thier contributions more than any other lobbying party.

And yes, Smedley was right,

What's with you calling me 'bro?'
