The International: exposure or control?

You had me at the trailer! When I saw the trailer for "The International" I was hooked. I had to see this film.

Honestly, any film promising to expose the criminality involved in international banking will instantly get my attention.

The intensity of the film was great, yet I can't seem to shake myself from my own disappointment with the film. My frustration stems not from the facts but rather the form of the film.

Bankster motivation is central to the film. Their interest was not in controlling, but rather in funding conflict. The onus was on controlling the debt and the interest from the debt. Debt control was tantamount to nation control. Owning the debt created power!

A more accurate presentation of the motivation of criminal banksters is unlikely.

However, the film presents the criminal bankers as a major, international banking corporation. The corporation practically controlled the world. Reality is far more sinister. No instantly recognizable boogie-man group publicly presents itself. Rather we have a loosely organized banking cartel affiliated with one another through several political groups instead of one centralized corporation or agency.

Real banksters are more difficult to track and capture because their organization more closely resembles an organized, underground crime syndicate.

Yet, recently their robbery has become more pronounced and public. Has anyone heard the phrase "banker bailout"? Does anyone care to explain why, what was supposed to be only $700 billion has become nearly $13 trillion in less than a year? Has it escaped your notice that representatives from the Federal Reserve have been on a public relations tour?

As our nation is embroiled in two international conflicts, shouldn't we begin to ask the logical question? Who owns the debt? Some would answer, 'we the people.' However, this simply isn't true because he/she who owns the debt also owns the interest.

Who is getting the interest from the debt?

Our biggest national debt is owed to the Federal Reserve who owns 50% of our debt. Another 28% of our debt is owned by foreign entities, leaving 22% actually owned by 'we the people' in some form or fashion.

Frightening!?

As sabers rattle, keep in mind, wars create debt and debt creates power. Who is going to be most interested in a continual state of conflict?
