Ok... Here's an article on the truth of who really runs the US.

----------------------------------------Who Controls The
Federal Reserve System?
By Victor Thorn
5-9-2

Now that we know the Federal Reserve is a privately owned, for-profit corporation, a natural question would be: who OWNS this company? Peter Kershaw provides the answer in "Economic Solutions" where he lists the ten primary shareholders in the Federal Reserve banking system.

1) The Rothschild Family - London 2) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris 4) Israel Seiff - Italy 5) Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany 6) The Warburgs - Amsterdam 7) The Warburgs - Hamburg 8) Lehman Brothers - New York 9) Goldman & Sachs - New York 10) The Rockefeller Family - New York

...

Do you get it? MONEY is an ILLUSION! Why? Because the gold standard upon which our money is supposed to be based has been eliminated. There's no more gold in Fort Knox. It's all GONE! Now, money really IS only paper!!! In the past, money was supposed to represent something of tangible value. Now it's simply paper!
Taken one step further, many of us don't even use paper money any more! Why? Well, here's a scenario. Many places of employment directly deposit their employee's paychecks into the bank. Once the money is there, when bill time comes around, the person in question can write out a stack of checks to pay them. Plus, when they need gasoline they use a credit card; and groceries a debit card. If this person goes out for dinner on Friday night, they can charge the tab on their diner's card. But what about the tip? They simply scribble in the amount at the bottom of the check. So far, the person hasn't spent a single dollar bill. Plus, if you bring electronic banking into the picture, we've virtually eliminated the use for money. And, God forbid, what happens when encoded microchips are implanted into the backs of our hand?

In essence, money has become nothing more than an illusion - an electronic figure or amount on a computer screen. That's it! As time goes on, we have an increasing tendency toward being sucked into this Wizard of Oz vortex of unreality. Think about it. Americans as a whole are carrying more personal debt than in any other time in history. Plus our government keeps going further and further into the hole, with no hope of ever crawling out. But we have less and less actual MONEY! We're being enslaved by the debt of electronic blips on a computer screen! And 70% of the banks that control this debt via the Federal Reserve exist in foreign countries! What in God's name is going on? As author William Bramley says, "The result of this whole system is MASSIVE debt at every level of society."

We're getting screwed in a sickening way, folks, and the people doing it are demented magician-priests that use the ILLUSION of money as their control device. And I hate to say it, but if we allow things to keep going as they are, the situation will only get worse. Our only hope ... ONLY HOPE ... is to immediately take drastic action and remedy this crime.

me,

So why critise those asians who want to shop at LV. Do you see asians getting upset when a bunch of white people shop at Hang Ten or Mikimoto.

You got issues.

AC Dropout,
Why would I have to be affluent or asian to go into an expensive store? I may not be in the richest 1% but I can afford to shop where I please.

And maybe there were not hundreds in the LV store, probably more like 50, it's a very big store. And the next day I passed by another branch of the LV store across town and lo and behold, a line of 30 asians waiting to get in.

me,

What are you doing in those stores if you're not affluent or asian. Are you a wannabe?

"BUSLOADS" and "hundreds of Asians" IN the Louis Vuitton store? Surely, you must mean dozens because security is not going to allow so many people in at one time.

I'll bet they were on a tour of some sort. When I was at a conference in Maine, a bus dumped a great load of us (whites and one Asian) at the L.L. Bean outlet. LL ain't LV, true, but you get my drift.

Yes, there are spoiled Asian girls like the "obviously spoiled rich very young girl in head-to-toe Chanel" you mentioned. But I see a lot more of their white counterparts in Chicago and London: not head-to-toe Chanel, per se, but something equally expensive, esp. if they've teamed an Hermes Birkin or Kelly bag and scarf with a Dolce T-shirt, Earl or Seven jeans, and Manolos.

"BTW, whenever I hit the expensive boutiques to see what's in for the season, I'm usually the ONLY Asian there. There might be another one there or maybe a family. This has happened in Boston, Chicago, London, and Paris. Everyone else was...guess what--white! The way some of you talk, you'd think there were busloads of Asians invading these shops."

Actually the last two times I was in Paris the waiting line in Louis Vuitton was about a half an hour, and I was the only white person in the store. It was literally a busload of asian tourists in the store, hundreds of them. And the last time I was in the Chanel store there was an obviously spoiled rich very young asian girl in head-to-toe Chanel.
