Rick Perry: Bernanke's money printing is "treasonous".

Rick Perry, newly self proclaimed candidate for president, is now on record saying, “Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous — or treasonous in my opinion”.  I have to say that I am not amazed to hear this because I am on record saying very similar things about both Greenspan and Bernanke.  People who judged my comments back then as "outlandish" probably think Rick Perry's similar recent comment is over the top as well.

So let me take a second and defend the position but before I start let me say that I have no confidence in Rick Perry.  The fact that he is saying these things about Bernanke doesn't mean he is a good leader or a good man.  Rick Perry is just another status quo politician looking to cash in on the crash.  Where was he before all of the problems started?  Was he standing behind Ron Paul's condemnation of the global financial system?  Heck no!  Rick Perry was instead living in a ridiculously overpriced mansion paid for by Texans after some fool firebombed the Texas governor's mansion.  Rick Perry is an empty suit, a complete political hack that simply sees the opportunity to make a killing based on the current state of unrest.  When Greenspan was architecting the master scam, Perry was nowhere to be found.  As president, Perry would be no better than Obama or any of the other con men at the helm since Nixon.

So if I think this way about him, why bother quoting what he says?  Simply because my long standing observation of the collapse stage of the con says that the con men begin turning on each other, telling all the secrets, treating each other just as badly as they all used to treat the people when everyone and I mean everyone was still a clueless unenlightened sheeple (including yours truly).  When the con is collapsing, the con men are actually some of the best sources for truth because in an environment of plummeting confidence, they have to give up more and more of the raw truth about the system in general in order to build up people's confidence regarding the con man in question.  Still, you have to realize that a small measure of truth will be mixed with a large measure of BS and Rick Perry is no different in this regard.

So what truth did Perry utter in my view?  Specifically, that printing more money in order to buy prosperity for the here and now or taking on more debt for the same purpose is burdening everyone over the long run in order to make things look better today.  In effect, it's using the sneaky money supply game in order to tax the citizens to make one candidate more attractive to voters than would be otherwise deserved by his merits alone.  The ability to print money and or take on debt in the name of the American people is a powerful thing and it is completely unconstitutional to use this tool in order to get oneself re-elected.

Wiki states, "Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]."  I believe that printing money and taking on un-payable levels of debt is and has been the single most damaging thing that has been done to the USA since the country was founded.  I believe the potential implications include the eventual Soviet-style breakup of our country.  If it happened to the Soviets then what makes the US so special that we will avoid the same fate?  The Soviet Union collapsed mainly because it spent itself into oblivion.  Most empires throughout history have similar endings.  Given the potential social implications of carrying the fiat currency and fractional reserve banking scam to the levels at which it exists today, being a leadership element in the effort to have gotten us here certainly qualifies as treason.  In fact, I will be so bold as to predict that if we do get that type of collapse then many people who are right now foolishly laughing at the possibility of it happening will be among the loudest in calling for trials and stiff punishments against the con men in the aftermath of a collapse.

Yes, folks, it is treason to knowingly screw your country over for the benefit of the few elite who know how money and credit and leverage can be used to make themselves ridiculously wealthy at the long term expense of everyone else in society.  It is treasonous to steal the futures of our young people.  It is treasonous to line us up for wars with our creditors when it becomes clear we will not pay them because we cannot do so.  And make no mistake: the people in charge of getting us here are well schooled in history and in the particular technology that we call money.  Greenspan's pre Federal Reserve writings of the 1960's are prima facie evidence that he clearly knew and understood the dirty, corrupt linkages between the welfare state, fiat currency, freedom, and gold.  Con men like Greenspan have been gaming the monetary system for the benefit of their organizations, their friends and ultimately for themselves.  In my view of things, they are all traitors for what they have done to the United States: Greenspan, Bernanke, most of the presidents going back to Nixon, the heads of all major financial institutions and many heads of major corporations.
