Second Powerful Congressman Says Banks Run Congress
Last month, the number two ranking Democrat in the Senate, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), said: "Frankly, banks own the place."
Now, Collin Peterson, Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, is saying the same thing.
“The banks run the place,” Peterson told the New York Times in Monday’s editions. “I will tell you what the problem is — they give three times more money than the next biggest group. It’s huge the amount of money they put into politics.”

More and more people are waking up to the financial oligarchy that exists and runs the country. The question is, will "we the people" take the country back and crush the banks led by the fed or will the fed destroy the USA first?
ReplyDeleteWhip them out of the temple!
ReplyDeleteim moving to Canada. America failed but it has been failing for decades. America has reaped what it sowed.
ReplyDeleteCanada is part of the same monster, running there will get you nothing. Try a more simple life in S.E. Asia. or maybe New Guinea. The people there fish & love, and don't think much about Governments.
