With quotes like these, are conspiracy theories?

speculations unjustified? (I am confident this post will be deleted) Here is a quote from Aristotle to stimulate your thinking “The trade of the petty usurer is hated with most reason: it makes a profit from currency itself, instead of making it from the process which currency was meant to serve. Their common characteristic is obviously their sordid avarice.”

- N.Y. Mayor, John Hylan- The real reminance of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses… This little coterie…run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen…seizes…our executive officers…legislative bodies…schools…
courts…newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.”
- G. Edward Griffin- “Here we had the Morgans, the Rockefellers, Kuhn, Loeb & Company, the Rothschilds and the Warburgs. Anything strange about that mixture? These were competitors. These were the major competitors in the field of investment and banking in those days; these were the giants. Prior to this period they were beating their heads against each other, blood all over the battlefield fighting for dominance in the financial markets of the world. Not only in New York but London, Paris and everywhere. And here they are sitting around a table coming to an agreement of some kind. What’s going on here?”
- David Rockefeller to Trilateral Commission in 1991- “We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a World Government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
-David Rockefeller Baden-Baden, Germany 199- “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
-George H. W. Bush 1991- We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order — a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful and we will be we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.’s founders.
-Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence- “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
-Paul Warburg, drafter of the Federal Reserve Act- “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.”
-Mayer Amschel Rothschild- “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.”
-Warren G. Harding, who was elected to the Presidency in 1920- “The Federal Reserve Bank is an institution owned by the stockholding member banks. The Government has not a dollar’s worth of stock in it.”
-Congressman Charles August Lindbergh-Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here (in Congress) and controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will … When the Fed was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here … A super-state controlled by international bankers, and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure!”
-Thomas Jefferson- “If the Americ
last statement should read. “If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their money,
first by inflation and then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will
grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property
until their children will wake up homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered.”

How do I make *Actual* money off of stocks?

August 13th, 2010
Katie L asked:


I have a grasp on how to buy and sell stocks and how to KNOW when to buy and sell stocks. But let’s say I own $1000 or 25 shares of one company’s stock. That means I’m worth however much that stock is being sold for, correct? But TECHNICALLY, I don’t have that money until I have sold that stock and got the real money for it. So in order to make money from stock, I’d have to buy and sell from different companies and keep putting that into a savings account or something until it added up to the amount that I wanted for, say, retirement. Am I right? Is there some other way to go about making money from the stock market?

Where would we go to do simple stock investing?

shpigford asked:


I’m interested in investing a miniscule amount of money (around $1000) in the stock market just to get my feet wet. I’m in no way looking to make some huge profit or anything of the sort…just wanting to throw some cash out there, buy and sell a few stocks and just get a feel for things.

What is a good website to do that sort of thing through? With such a small amount I obviously want to keep fees to a minimum so my money doesn’t get wasted on that junk.
