Greedy bankers are routinely blamed for the credit crisis but one British-based poll of — well, financiers — spreads the blame more widely.
Gary Jenkins, Head of Fixed Income Research at Evolution Securities, wanted a more specific scapegoat and ran a poll of about 200 mostly fund managers and investors asking them to pick their credit crisis culprit.
Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was the clear winner, picking up 35 percent of the votes. Once considered one of the world’s greatest central bankers, he has been widely criticized over the past year for low interest rate policies that helped fuel the credit boom.
Former U.S. president Bill Clinton figured quite prominently with about 10 percent of votes, and British prime minister Gordon Brown also got quite a few.

Stupid greedy Americans helped by believing they could get money for nothing and credit for free.

In relation to this thread and many others:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/po.....owars.html
I’m a daily reader of prisonplanet, one of those who watches and rarely contributes! For religious reasons i am also one who refrains from swearing and any dirty, vain or idle talk. Reconmarine is winning here because in virtually every reply to his posts, there is a torrent of foul language and morally corrupt written thoughts and ideas. He could and is posting here all day – a newbie reading this, with any sense of moral integrity, may form a negative impression about the lot of you for this simple reason. Reconmarine: 1 Truthers: 0
If you cant simply ignore him, just post basic refutations of his points with the minimum of text – and then rapidly move on, back to the matter in hand. How long is this thread now? most of it is a collection of outrages and insults aimed at Reconmarine! and this is supposed to attract Miley to InfoWars? I’d say Reconmarine has won this round?
Thats my 2 pence worth (I’m in the UK!)
I will go back to my cuboard now.

There isn’t one normal commentor here yet, all spam……. my God. Allen Greenspan is the scape goat? He is just one piece of the puzzle. A big piece, but he alone didn’t create this! A lot of them all together. If he goes down, he better take all his cronies with him.

Which just goes to show that financiers below top-tier level really do not have a clue.
They still grovel obsequiously at the feet of the mighty Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros et al
As for Alan Greenspam, he’s just a tool.

Alan Greenspan is just the next *sacrifice* to be made on the altar of the NWO. Everyone needs a talking point and a scapegoat, to distract them from the matters at hand. It’s not just Alan Greenspan, it’s the whole federal reserve, period. His plans and arrangements might have aided in the fall, but the system was far from perfect before he took it over.
That being said, the Federal Reserve as a whole needs to be destroyed, and constitutionally sound, real, physical gold and silver money used to remove the valueless American *Federal Reserve Note*, and replace it with a real American Dollar.

The Empire of The City
INTRODUCTION TO 2ND EDITION
At the end of World War I, the writer, then 27 years old, was released from the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant of the Coast Artillery Corps. Like many more servicemen, he was filled with resentment as the deluge of utterly obvious and brazen falsehood, by which participation in that war had been forced upon the American people, was exposed, and became more evident day by day after the war was won.
That the reasons advanced to the American people for their entry into World War I were largely fraudulent became common and accepted knowledge, and over 25 years after the end of that war the eminent American historians, Charles A. and Mary R. Beard, stated in their “Basic History” (page 442) that “the gleaming mirage that pictured the World War as purely or even mainly a war for democracy and civilization dissolved beyond recognition …;” and the well-known Internationalist publicist, Walter Lippmann, stated in his “U.S. Foreign Policy” (page 24) in effect that the real reasons for going to war in 1917 have never been admitted.
Many people realize that this mystifying situation, in which an alleged democratic and self-governing nation is actually controlled against the will of the people in its foreign affairs, is a clear indication that there must be a very powerful and well-financed secret organization which plans and directs American foreign affairs, and for lack of a more specific identification this suspected secret organization is popularly referred to as the International Financiers.
When the propaganda mills began their characteristic grind towards war in the early 1930s, the writer began a more definite study of international power politics, and soon found it an entrancing and revealing subject. There was, however, no more free speech; and the most amazing documented aspects of a vast secret world order of International Finance could find no hearing in a situation where some Congressmen denounced overwhelming Nationalist expression of views in their mail as mere organized subversion.
The shelves of our public libraries hold thousands of books pertaining to some aspect of this vast subject; most of them dry as duet to the average reader and remaining unread by the public through the years. Most of these scholarly works are devoted to some passing phase of power politics in some part of the world, of which their author has made a specialized study, and have invariably been forgotten as the public has lost interest in that particular incident.
In running through these works some amazing nuggets of information come to light here and there, which fitted together gradually unfold the stunning history and the legal structure of a sovereign world state located in the financial district of the loosely knit aggregation of boroughs and cities popularly known as the city of London. The colossal political and financial organization centered in this area, known as “The City,” operates as a super-government of the world; and no incident occurs in any part of the world without its participation in some form.
Its pretentious are supported in the United States by the secret International Pilgrim Society, sponsor of the Cecil Rhodes “One World” ideology which was launched about 1897. The president of its American branch is Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who is also president of the allied Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The ultimate objective of this camarilla was defined by one of its noted propagandists, the late William Allen White, as: “It is the destiny of the pure Aryan Anglo-Saxon race to dominate the world and kill off or else reduce to a servile status all other inferior races.”
After reducing the vast mass of data forming the basis of this work into a logical and readable sequence, it was finally put into print and privately published after long delay, and copyright was granted May 22, 1944. About 200 copies were sent to various members of Congress, thus largely performing the purpose of the first edition. Several members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee accorded some attention to this.
Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota wrote August 12, 1944: “The document containing the result of your research was so interesting that it spoiled most of my sleep that night … I have been doing some research along the same lines and I find my time in that respect is limited. You have done a great deal of work that will save me a great deal of time.” On August 21, 1944, he wrote: “People ought to be induced to read it. It is a documented piece of work and therefore should command respect and arouse interest.”
This work apparently appeals most strongly to men of professional standing, and to people of the elder generations, and a number of lawyers, doctors, clergymen, architects and engineers of the writer’s acquaintance have expressed their great interest and apparently general commendation. Publishers approached have been reluctant to undertake it, and several stated that there would be little demand for a serious work of this kind, as the American public is not interested in that kind of reading matter. One large Eastern publisher frankly wrote he was obliged to disregard the recommendations of his readers on advice of counsel.
Chapters I and XI, and the Conclusion, are new additions to the second edition of “The Empire of ‘The City’.” Chapter XI, “A Study in Power,” was published separately and copyrighted February 22, 1945.

In 1985, according to documents recently made available, political charges were levelled against Jüri Lina, in his absence, in occupied Estonia. He was accused of high treason in connection with the publication of two books – “Sovjet hotar Sverige” (”The USSR Threatens Sweden”) and “Öised päevad” (”Nightly Days”).
The KGB regarded him as one of the most anti-communistic writers in Sweden. Jüri Lina is a member of the Swedish Publicists’ Association.
