Brokers or all of us - Who will endure?

Alex Jones of Infowars wants us to view the global economic crisis with a critical eye. As nations institute austerity measures, Jones thinks it all comes down to this: "Is it going to be the bankers or us"? By burying the middle class in debt slavery, Jones asserts that big government and its central banks are reintroducing a feudal system in which the middle class can be too poor to be anything however serfs in service of corporate lords.

Bankers or us: a derivative mess

Derivatives must be considered when it comes to asking whether the crisis could be survived by us or the bankers, says Alex Jones. The non-assets that are traded are a volatile speculation on how the future will treat commodities. "Over $1.5 quadrillion" within the assets can't possibly be paid back the United States ever. Investment bankers who speculated on derivatives using such things as the pension funds of retired Americans for payment have made austerity necessary, yet it is these same banks and bankers who received the majority of bailout funds. The poor appear to be getting poorer while the rich are getting richer. Jones suggests that any person with morals take a stand to this. "Will it be the bankers – or us?" is what Jones wants to know.

Austerity and the power of central banks

It seems difficult for the European Union to help member nations. They are trying to stop bankruptcy from happening. Jones suggests that The United States is seeing this too. Central banks, awash in taxpayer bailout funds, will continue to flourish. Average taxpaying citizens will see beneficial programs cut under austerity conditions, including wages, pensions, insurance and child health care. Challenging the Federal Reserve and private central banks, in Jones’ estimation, is the only available course for individuals who don’t wish to become debt slaves.

Trojan horse what the bailout is looking like

If the financial industry bailout was indeed a Trojan horse that ended up rewarding the same Wall Street bankers who drove the financial crisis from the beginning, Jones wants people to take a step back and re-evaluate where this train is headed. Is the middle class going to end up losing or will the bankers be giving up their power?
