Looking to 2016, Is Your Money Better Off in a Mattress?
Mon, 12/21/2015 - by Walt McRee
This article originally appeared on It's Our Money

As European central banks employ negative interest rates (you pay the bank to keep your money) as well as all-digital currencies that give bankers virtually complete control over your access to it, this question is not silly. What are the bankers really up to? Ellen Brown speaks with co-host Walt McRee about these developments and talks with evolutionary economist and world-renowned futurist Hazel Henderson about how far afield economics has gone from its practical obligations to serve public interest. Then, Matt Stannard discusses banker logic and negative interest, and common logic about the need for a basic income for everyone.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
