Isn't the statement that the citizens either don't care, are stupid to realize it or are somehow involved a bit exaggerated by this point?
Could many of those people simply not see a better option then that which is currently presented?
If "we" were to do something, what is it you suggest we do and more importantly what do you honestly think will be the end result?
Can you imagine the kind of chaos that would swallow us all if we all suddenly decided that the system of tyrants and kings, presidents and power brokers that is really the only thing that holds our civilization together at this point was suddenly decimated or destroyed?

Karen Hudes, a whistle blower or a red herring?
As a "former" World Bank lawyer/insider she points a finger at the "Jesuits," without ever once referencing the Rothschild/Zionist ties to the central banking syndicate.
So why doesn't she mention their connection in this conspiracy?
It raises some questions, as to whether or not she's telling the absolute truth.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) quietly dropped a bomb... It goes on to build a case for drastic measures and recommends a series of escalating income and consumption tax increases culminating in the direct confiscation of assets.
Yes, you read that right. But don’t take it from me. The report itself says:
The sharp deterioration of the public finances in many countries has revived interest in a “capital levy”— a one-off tax on private wealth—as an exceptional measure to restore debt sustainability. The appeal is that such a tax, if it is implemented before avoidance is possible and there is a belief that it will never be repeated, does not distort behavior (and may be seen by some as fair). … The conditions for success are strong, but also need to be weighed against the risks of the alternatives, which include repudiating public debt or inflating it away. … The tax rates needed to bring down public debt to precrisis levels, moreover, are sizable: reducing debt ratios to end-2007 levels would require (for a sample of 15 euro area countries) a tax rate of about 10 percent on households with positive net wealth. (page 49)”
Note three takeaways. First, IMF economists know there are not enough rich people to fund today’s governments even if 100 percent of the assets of the 1 percent were expropriated. That means that all households with positive net wealth—everyone with retirement savings or home equity—would have their assets plundered under the IMF’s formulation.
Second, such a repudiation of private property will not pay off Western governments’ debts or fund budgets going forward. It will merely “restore debt sustainability,”
...The report’s most chilling aspect is the clinical manner in which it discusses how to restrict the mobility of the rich, along with the inconvenience of factoring in their “well being.” Again, to quote the report
““Financial wealth is mobile, and so, ultimately, are people. … There may be a case for taxing different forms of wealth differently according to their mobility … Substantial progress likely requires enhanced international cooperation to make it harder for the very well-off to evade taxation by placing funds elsewhere.
“A revenue-maximizing approach to taxing the rich effectively puts a weight of zero on their well-being—contentious, to say the least. … If one attaches less weight to those with the highest incomes, the vote would be to increase the top marginal rate.”
...capital controls and exit restrictions so the proverbial four wolves and a lamb can vote on what’s for dinner. That’s the only way to keep citizens worried about ending up on the menu from voting with their feet. Again, straight from the report:
““There is a surprisingly large amount of experience to draw on, as such levies were widely adopted in Europe after World War I.”
And we all know how well that worked out.
the world has moved from feudalism, to moncarchism to many different styles of governship think there needs to be another one.

Not only did the S&p 500 rise and rise throughout the debt crisis, it broke a new record.
S&P 500 breaks record.
So how much money needs to be injected into a stock to make its value rise almost every day by half-a-percent, for 3 months straight and eventually break its own record. I assume it would be billions.
Trends like that hardly reflect valueless dollar.

So basically, we need a New World Order to save us from the New World Order?
"Dollar valueless, about to crash'"?
"Well, it's about time..."
