Incredible to think that the Rothschilds inserted a clause that British taxpayers indemnify them for their own losses and bad management, otherwise known as theft.

The same here in Greece. Once France murdered our brilliant first "Governer" Capodistrias two years after independence (Capodistrias wrote the constitution of Switzerland with Greece in mind: neutrality, direct voting etc), the Brits sent some minor german royalty down here with a Rothschilds loan ....to be paid off by the Greeks. And that was just the beginning of the story...

Wow, thank you Eleni. Didn't know about Capodistrias!

The West, for whatever reason, has consigned the brilliant Count Ioannis Kapodistrias to total obscurity, yet he was considerd the most brilliant statesman of the age by his contemporries. (In the same way english speaking high school students have no idea that that Byzantium ever existed, another puzzle ....)

He was from Corfu and entered the Russian diplomatic service of Tsar Alexander ! in 1809. At the Congress of Vienna, 1815, as junior Russian minister, he counterbalanced the paramount influence of the Austrian Prince Metternich - the battle was really between these two - K. for sovereign Westphalian states and M. for empire. It was Kapodistrias that fought for French state unity under a Bourbon monarch (not Talleyrand) when the other powers wanted to break France into pieces. He also obtained new international guarantees for the constitution [which he had written earlier] and neutrality of Switzerland through an agreement among the Powers. After these brilliant diplomatic successes, Alexander I appointed Kapodistrias joint Foreign Minister of Russia (with Karl Robert Nesselrode).

Forgot to add, France repaid Kapodistrias for saving it by assassinating him 7 years later. No good deed goes unpunished.

I do not recall now who made the statement; " eventually people will have to do battle with the banks". I seem to think it was a long former US congressman.

It was Lord Acton: The issue that's swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people vs the banks. (not exact).

Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. The corporation was created expressly with this in mind.

Before a fairer world can be made, if it can, we must first destroy and rid ourselves completely of the corporation.
