Yes banks suck. But more importantly, they intend it to be that way… they suck everything – you. your money. your home. your small business. your municipal, state/provincial, federal government. It all started (at least on this continent anyway) in 1913 when Woodrow Wilson decided that banks needed ultimate control of the North American and eventually the world money supply and enacted the Federal Reserve Act. It gave complete control over the ability to create money out of thin air and then charge crazy fees for it to PRIVATELY HELD international banks. Talk about evil built right into the system! Now that the world financial system has gone over a cliff everyone wants to talk economics and fault and systemic failure and green shoots of recovery, but the core problem is not going away – banks still run the show. If they were able, in Sept of 2008, to extort $700 billion dollars from the American govt, then there really is no stopping them. Blatant as it was, the system has done little to change the basic shell game of international finance, stock markets, debt and usary.
Here`s the Coles Notes of money:
Banks do not care a whit about you and your problems, regardless of their latest ad campaign to the contrary.
Government will always keep increasing your (taxpayer) debt.
Stock Markets are the biggest and best ponzi scheme ever devised.
Financial booms and busts are manufactured by international bankers to create either profit or instability or both.
We as individuals get screwed every time – in good times, we pay more for everything – think housing bubble. In bad times we get fired and lose our house – think housing bubble.
WAKE UP WORLD! International bankers run the show – not governments, not corporations, certainly not us regular folks with our vote… Oprah and Dr. Phil ain`t got no solution for this one. Liquidate your assets, head for the hills, start planting food and stop using digital money – it ain`t real.

This is the stupidest post I may have ever come across… Banks are “verifiably evil?!” How about: Amerian business practice is “inherently stupid.”
There’s something called “regulation.” In Canada, we have that. It ensures that the banks can’t do just anything they want. Perhaps if American’s got their colective heads out of their asses and their churches, they would understand that government oversight is a good thing… Just like health care—-sonofabitch if America can ever get that one sorted out.
Here’s the thing about people who gripe about banks… You’re lazy. No. No. You’re stupid and lazy. Shop for banks. Shop for credit unions. If you think your bank in screwing you, get off of your twinkie eating, cellulite infested, corn fed, ass and look for a better a deal. I have no sympathy for whiners. Banks are evil… Uneducated, moronic, monysyllabic rhetoric is evil… Look in the mirror, Sparky. You’re your own worst enemy if you’re not willing to make changes…
