Under Attack on Memorial Day

May 25 (LPAC)--Here it is the Memorial Day weekend, and America is under attack again, by something far more powerful than the Al Qaeda boogeyman. No, America is under attack by our oldest enemy, the British Empire.

Don't believe it? Who do you think is responsible for the sky-high gasoline prices? OPEC? Nope, it's the London-centered oil cartel, Big Oil, the handful of giant oil companies that dominate the transportation, processing and distribution of petroleum products on the planet. The oil cartel and the financial cartel, also centered in the City of London, run the markets which set the price of oil, and thus the price of products like gasoline and diesel. Every time you fill up your tank, you pay a hidden tax to these cartels. Making matters worse, they use these obscene profits to fund the consolidation of power into fewer and fewer hands, increasing imperial control over the world.

What about high food prices? These are set by the commodities markets, which are jointly fun by the British-centered commodities cartels and the financial cartel. As the financial markets die, money is pouring into oil and food speculation because while people may not need CDOs, they do need food and gasoline.

The global financial system has died, and the effects of that death are now being felt worldwide. Quadrillions of dollars of financial bets, and trillions of dollars of assets, have vaporized, triggering a savage deflation of financial values. To try to plug the holes, the central bankers have poured trillions of dollars of loans into the system, and are doing everything they can to convert their worthless paper into government-guaranteed debt. Egging us on are the financiers and geopoliticists of the British Empire, who know that the hyperinflation this process will unleash will destroy the nation-state system, leaving the Empire to pick up the pieces and dominate the world. They prefer genocide to watching the people of the world progress, and move beyond the ancient imperial system into a bright and modern future.

Hyperinflation, overlaid with speculation which drives the necessities of life out of the hands of the lower 80% income group, is a deadly weapon, and is being wielded by our deadliest enemy, the British Empire. If you want to do something useful this Memorial Day, join us in the fight to stop it.
