Downgrade

Forgive me if I beat a dead horse, but I need you folks to work with me here a second, and see if I'm not crazy.  Driving into the office this morning, I heard the news on the radio that credit agencies are considering downgrading Germany's credit rating!

Now, it was Germany who made the biggest contribution to the bailout of Greece and Portugal.  Germany is the biggest economy in Europe.  Last week we read that China's debt crisis is so severe that it is in worse shape than Portugal - China had to appeal to the European banks for an emergency bailout.

During the recent tsunami crisis in Japan, news reports revealed that Japan has a horrible debt crisis (200% to GDP).  If the U.S. Germany, China, and Japan, (the world's economic powerhouses), are in such bad financial shape, and the second-tier players, France, Spain, Korea, Italy, Canada, Australia, England, Brazil, etc, are on the brink of ruin, which countries have all the money?

All modern nations are now corporations - businesses in a sense.  We know that the U.S. banks are sitting on a mountain of cash (the cash stolen from us by Bush, Obama, Geithner and Bernanke), so where is the gold?  Where is the real wealth?  You cannot eat cash.  You cannot even eat precious metals.  Money is merely a token, a receipt for wealth.  True wealth comes from land-plus-labor - the machinery of productivity.  It seems to me that the banker folks have schemed for centuries to achieve a massive transfer of the tokens of wealth - Gold and Silver, and paper money.  The banks know no borders.  They are not "patriotic".

If all or most of the nations are drowning in debt, then they have successfully surrendered their wealth and money to the guys who do the lending.  If I am not mistaken, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the "World Bank" (along with a handful of other regional lenders) have gained control of all of the world's currency and are manipulating it to create WORLD-WIDE poverty and austerity.

We ourselves are as much to blame as the lenders, because we should have known better than to get in bed with them and trade our inheritances to them for worthless paper.  In Old Testament times it was a capital offense not only to lend upon usury (interest) but also to borrow with interest.

Who has the wherewithal to rectify this problem?
